The problem isn't that, it's governments being excessively reactive to things. In their view few people dying of random mishaps is always an excuse for more government. In my view everybody dies of something and faced with the thr

Solution: stop saying "why didn't you do anything", righteously slap people who do.

It's a lot easier to live in London without a car than outside it. As far as I know most new flats in London don't allow car parking anyway. (I am a non driving Londoner and it's pretty good. I don't think I'd feel

Not Safe For... Luncheon? If that is your initialism then... bravo.

That sounds unlikely. It's not how stainless steel works; to bond a coating to the surface of the stainless you have to fight the stainlessness pretty hard.

You get more of what you subsidise. Looks like that social grant did as designed and created a shitload of social grant recipients - politically useful to someone, at vast human cost.

Gini coefficients? No. Low chance of being caught, low chance of meaningful punishment, low public profile of punishment putting it out of sight and put of mind. High chance of being let off, which has a higher public profile. It may make w

It's a knowing jest, not a sincere statement - and a reminder to the others to keep the show going for their audience.

...being anti-hospital in the 19th century sounds fairly rational to me?

I'd never realised that before. Thank you, I think. Deary, deary me.

Raising kids without driving them anywhere, but instead teaching them to walk early, walk often and walk far is also easy - and really good in lots of ways - unless you live in one of those awful places with no sidewalk/pavement, in wh

There have hardly been 4 generations of aspartame consumers, since quite a few of the 1970s generation are still with us (would it be more or less if they'd had no aspartame? I have no idea, do you?) and mass use didn't kick in un

That's hilarious.

I'm pretty sure that was a spoof. But still :-D

You could avoid those by getting rid of cars, rather than adding more cars controlled by unaccountable programs with OTA updates pushed by people saying YOLO.

Ditto if you cross the road. I think this is fine. Arguably the AVs are the source of the disruption anyway, since a human piloted vehicle would cope.

For "LLMs" read "corporations" (it's not the LLM trying to argue that copyright applies to you but not them) and this seems... possibly ok?

I do take the point but I feel like the era of the factory factory was a while ago and I'm almost nostalgic for it compared to the dubious soup that we seem to have to deal with now.

I thought that was a plus?

I have never, ever met a yachtsman who wants to carry any kind of anti orca weaponry. Let's not exaggerate here.

They've not yet shown any sign of being a danger to the hull as far as I know. They pretty often break the rudder off leaving the boat difficult to control. Most long distance sailors would carry some kind of emergency rudder arrangeme

You've just given me a weird desire to try talking people into flat earthism just to get a feel for how difficult it is. I'm holding off... for now! I do take your point though, the world is replete with causes which more or less

Calling the behaviour of GPT in these scenarios "an effort" implies a model of how it works that I don't think everybody shares.

Very intelligent humans have more persuasive power over less intelligent humans than they do over most animals. Even then it's very inconsistent and it's not at all clear that intelligence helps win over humans all that much. I wi
