Many worlds makes quick work of this whole thing. Referencing original explanation, 3 subsets of multiverse: AA,AB & B. In subsets starting with A, Alice in her box sets up spin sideways, in B, spin down. In AA, Bob measures spin up, in AB & B, spin down. The contradiction is supposed to be in AB Alice is in superposition to Bob, but not to herself. But in many worlds, everyone was always in AB, but they couldn't know that until diverging from copies of themselves in parallel worlds, which they only do when information about choices occurs. It's all beautifully consistent.
You are absolutely right. Look at CEOs of Microsoft, Google and many others. All Indian Americans, all signalling American inclusiveness to Indians. India's openness to reliance on US tech is hugely valuable.
That bus brings up the other aspect, NoX and associated gases. I find diesel engines less bad than gas, but when you are around them a lot there's a huge effect on the mind. Respiratory irritation also decreases brain oxygen.
Given tearing up the road must come with high price, what's wrong with cameras with object tracking or the old tubes they throw across the road today to track speed?
An interesting area I've heard of deals with aerobic bacteria that decays trees: The theory is oil exists because this carbon producing bacteria didn't used to exist, so carbon was trapped. If that theory is true, you could have some effect by managing tree decay and that bacteria... But without it, the positive effect of trees is reduced.
Planting trees is a no brainier tho. Option 1) let sun's heat be absorbed by ground warm things up. Option 2) let it be converted by solar panels, natural (leaves) or man-made, to drive other processes than heating things up. It's not all about carbon
Yet they keep happening. I can promise within five years time there will be a summer worse than this extreme one, and this is a huge record setter. If you really get out and travel it's obvious things are changing and getting more extreme.
You're missing the point. This whole conversation is about the fact that the super CEO money makers might ultimately not be humans but machines. Same for every profession. That puts everyone in the place really mentally disabled adults are in today, where they are unable to contribute in a competitive way, it's better bang for buck if they don't try.
Work is a kind of narcotic, ergo workaholics. It makes you forget the larger problems. What psychologists see as mental degredation when people don't work is people no longer numbed to serious problems in our world, depressed. This is something we need to work through, I support UBI over busy work.
There's a lot of people who do nothing, except rent what they own out to people. It's possible to buy homes by getting financing and having renters pay off your mortgage. These people suck 1/3rd the paychecks of working renters, it's iffy.
That does not apply here because cars don't maintain value, and the efficiency of sharing them should lead to low prices. For someone living the basic life needing work commute and outings in urban areas, self driving cars are a no brainier. If you don't see this you haven't live in enough of a city to understand parking costs.
If self driving cars take off, invest in beer. We will be a drunker society I garantee it.
It is Microsofty, I remember the same thing with IE and Monopoly complaints, but this is different: not too long ago, I read here something about Google Maps possibly charging, Slashdotters were talking about the other free maps solutions they would jump to.
You have a situation where people who put together products of great value must give them away "free" or not compete, which is to say they must sell your private data clandestinely, consumers demand it. Yet everyone who really understands the costs of that model would rather pay. It's a situation where markets are being shaped by people not knowing the full picture. It's like a grocery store with free food, where the shoppers are unknowingly participating in pharmaceutical testing...if you really new you wouldn't shop there.
Unfortunately it's time for an intervention. Govt needs to set up strict privacy rules with seal for those who follow, and customers need to expect to pay for sealed versions of software. Unsealed versions should have forced warnings like on cigarette packs about being spied on.
Or if we could let the AI know about who we WANT to be, to get pushed in that direction: e.g. healthy food, education opportunities, etc. That would be nice too.
No, that kind socialism is part of a tired Marxist dialectic: on the left, you have people saying workers are at war with management shooting themselves in the foot, on the right you have the people this article is about, at war with workers, suppressing consumer spending and productivity by fighting free market labor principles while sending mass jobs and wealth to China, all in the name of lowering labor costs. The "left" and "right" of that dialectic are on the same side! The other side is workers developing as free professionals in order to bring a lot to their companies, and companies striving to attract their talents by treating them well, and making sure profits and success are shared.
When someone walks up to you and commands a choice between "right" and "left", the only correct answer is "no".
That's the weird thing about it, the ads are so bad so often, but then you have the stuff that gives you mind reading/spying on my conversations feeling, and it's uncanny. It makes you think: what if they're actually REALLY good at manipulating us? What if the woman's clothes ads they're showing the guy are to modify his behavior around a woman at work who buys those clothes so she'll buy more? I mean you have to wonder. ANY analytics would show I'm a pickup/Jeep guy, but I constantly get ads for urban upper class luxury cars. Why? Is it about defining a psychological dynamic about how pickup guys react to those cars?
One thing I notice is that our brains don't seem to rely on this type of *explicit* enumeration. Assume it is a statue, and imagine the trillions and trillions of possible permutations, each a different size, pose, or with one different feather from the last, that you would still recognize as a rooster. We don't hold all those in our brain at once. The only thing I've seen in CS like it is with quantum computers, where you've prepared a state with a million different outcomes, from an original uncorrelated state with a billion different outcomes, using a small amount of info. Somehow concepts in our brain are like that: A concept simple enough to share and communicate (e.g. shoe) applies simultaneously to trillions and trillions of possible things, while excluding even more, without us having a mental list of every possible shoe. It's a magic that's hard for me to visualize as code!
Computer scientists focus on this because it highlights a really interesting difference between how our brains represent information and how computers do. The reality is human minds have no problem holding onto a word or phrase in a state of semantic superposition. For instance, if someone tells you to "turn left at the bronze rooster", you will keep an eye out for a business with that name, or an actual bronze statue of a rooster. Computers don't have this ability, to declare Int x = 54 or 75 or 23; Intuitively, and the ability to do so seems to give our minds a lot of unique powers.
This kind of thing is good. Being able to say when your conscience, for whatever reason, won't allow you to do good work on something allows the difference to exist between conscientious objectors (minimal harm to military) and saboteurs (lots of harm).
I heard CIA officials on a show seriously talking about just this. Once you get small enough tho, computation is robotic motion, the flipping of bits is a physical action of considerable relative size, so nano compute is nano bots, and all the unintended consequences like messing with DNA arise.
It's not that puzzling. He has a confession, possibility of an organized group, doesn't have time to roll em up with honeypots and whatnot. The best move is to tell all employees to keep eyes open, and let would be actors know all eyes are on them. It's right to alert the public too, the difference between dismissing sh*t talking about burning Teslas and noting it is knowing that someone is actually burning Teslas.
Good really does need this more... Intelligence forces just plant hidden camera in your room, but senior support services need to be able to monitor senior motion without privacy violations like that to monitor for falls.
Why is the surface of Titan covered in "fossil" fuels? https://www.space.com/4968-tit... Was it the ancient forests on this moon? No. It's because hydrocarbons are a natural, low energy (much energy of combustion comes from 02) form of matter, that also occur on this planet without biological origin. Consequently, there are probably wells deeper than life ever lived in the ground, that will never be tapped.
What's interesting to note is the psychological "honesty tests" employers used to administer: A major indicator of criminality was if the person held the idea that the world was full of criminals, and everyone committed crimes. In short, criminals saw crime all around them, normal people thought it was less common.
Life is objectively, scientifically going downhill. I don't blame the boomers for anything, but they did live their lives on the top of the hill, being born after a long ascent from badness, and dying just before a clear and obvious descent into badness that will probably span hundreds of years. This is reality: https://www.theguardian.com/en... And this: https://www.theatlantic.com/in... And I could give you loads more from reputable government, scientific and military sources detailing coming food security crises, mass refugee chaos and other hell coming from perfect storm of global problems. The unique stress young people today face doesn't come from badness in the present moment, but rather well justified anxiety of what the future holds.
