Frankly, if you've never lived in a place with clean, reliable, fast trains, you probably would be disillusioned and would never go to the train life. Or if your public infrastructure is deemed "for poor people". Back to my o

I support all kinds of transportation. I think everyone should have access to trains, cars, bikes and etc. But I also think each has its own merits. Like the car ownership over here is huge, but most commute to work on trains because things

I think it's not feasible in America because of the culture. If you have a good chunk of people that are hell-bent against sharing space with others for one reason or another (some are legitimate reasons!), you're already discardi

There's no real moat in feature set anymore. Within a given timeframe, any company should be able to copy some features from other companies. Thus the whole "distribution, marketing and sales are the only things that matter nowada

Late to the party, but if anyone gets a chance, look up 80s/90s nightlife in San Francisco, New York, Montreal, Toronto and so on. We lost a lot.

Because it doesn't really matter and has no legs? Over the past 15 years, we had a lot of data exfiltrations, lots of breaches, hacks, and etc. Nothing really happened, world moved on, people figured out a way to live around it. People

Most people's internet is Instagram + Games from AppStore + TikTok + Netflix + Banking Apps. Everything is within specific walls and guardrails.

Yeah, that just doesn't pass the simplest sniff tests. I barely use iMessage, and yet I'm an iPhone user. Basically everyone around me is the same.

Yeah, I have looked through those. I remember personally as the Ontario one was going through. Even then it already had a huge backlash, and people were opposing to it because of "fairness and etc.". Unfortunately none of those te

I'm sorry, but we might have different definitions of "large scale". There's functional, feasible, and cultural differences when it comes to trying it on 5,000 people in a small town, versus trying it on a whole state &#

I believe they meant Effective Altruism, pieces from lesswrong and etc.

It is very much so complicated though. The conversations about UBI in the internet has been around since I’ve been online. And since then, there hasn’t been a single large scale test of the system to see if it can be compatible with the cur

Thank you. I’ve seen/read a bunch from the EA crowd, and think pieces from different contributors/labs, but most I’ve seen sounded very hypothetical with “yeah big bad stuff might happen, we don’t have a solution yet”. And the oth

A bit tangent, but is there anyone working on something for “what if AI pans out?” world? I’m not sure how to explain it, but if in the next 5 years a lot of jobs get displaced because of AI, obviously we’ll have big problems. Is there anyo

There are two possibilities: a) Anthropic is lying, and every company that is collaborating on vulnerability squishing project is an accomplice in this big lie b) Anthropic has then goldest gold of the shovels to sell to people, which is ac

Honestly, not that much different? They’re passionately selling the product with marketing that it will reduce your headcount. “Giddy about taking jobs away” is pretty apt. But again, I still believe AI is net good. Just horribly advertised

Where is everyone getting their information from in this thread? It’s like everyone is talking past each other. I think AI is net-good. But every frontier lab founder has said, paraphrasing, “Things might go horribly wrong, a lot of people

Wild takes in this thread. Copy and blog writing industry is just random fiverrs or hires from countries with cheap labour to pump up the SEO rankings. Everyone grew up with an understanding to “never trust the random internet content for 1

If it’s all marketing gimmick, then all companies that have collaborated to patch their bugs are collectively lying. If that’s the case, and they can get both OSS maintainers and the ones are on payrolls of Microsoft et al. to lie… hats off

I think it’s a cultural thing. On average, people seem to hate cops more in the USA. Personally I like having little cop boxes in 5 minute walking distances in Tokyo. There are people who are very against it, bring up bad encounters, but ne

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. “Extremely capable model that can find exploits” has always been a fear, and the first company to release it in public will cause bloodbath. But also the first company that will prove itself.

If you make a working and functional bad code, and put it on maintenance mode, it can keep churning for decades with no major issues. Everything depends on context. Most code written by humans is indeed, garbage.

More of a “it’s an honourable job, and I respect people who do it, but personally I wouldn’t do it” kinda thing. Status is ingrained in the culture. What you do, which neighbourhood you live in Tokyo, what school you went to and etc. matter

Man, what are you on about? Conservatism here is much different than NA’s conservatism. Japan has a lot of problems, but the ones you’re rambling about are kinda… weird?

Sorry, how are gay couples treated in Japan? People are conservative here, so no marriage, but from all gay couples I know here, they’re doing fine. Now, you can talk about PDA, but that kinda includes the straight couples as well to a poin

Almost nobody was betting in the black market before the legalization. Sure you obviously had some people, but friction was big enough where it was not worth it. Right now, there isn’t a single game where people are talking about the bets t

I’ve been solely mac user for the past 15+ years, and have no idea what this thread is talking about. I think, as the other person said, we make assumptions on what’s a problem for others, when in reality, it’s not a big deal.
