I mean, it’s a really competitively efficient system. We outpaced the rest of the world on a lot of things for a while there. We even have the 1% self-exploiting with highly specialized skills, 3X as likely to work more than 50hrs a week. All gas, no brakes.
Yup. Imagine a portable hype beast that loves all the same stuff you do.
It’s such a natural human function. In our super advanced society, it really ought to take as much sacrifice as daily bathroom breaks do.
Yeah I’m agreeing with you
It’s like being mean to customer service people of a bad company. it does effect the bottom line, because of high turnover as a result of a toxic workplace, but it mostly hurts the lowest paid people. Unfortunately, it’s one of few available levers when MAD is a factor.
Sitting is boring, emails are boring, not owning capital is boring. Religion is not, plants are not, sunlight is not. Building things is cool when they’re yours or your friends’. Kids are fun.
I feel like some guys tend to be wired to really enjoy the grind, but you have to get regular little indications towards progress, and kinda let yourself get ‘addicted’.
Actually, my father in law just lost 3 months of work yesterday because he synced his documents folder that had an old copy of his book on OneDrive. None of the cached files had his new stuff. Maybe if OneDrive was made well, it would prevent data loss.
Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.
I wonder how well that percentage matches up with the percent of Americans who believe those sites, too. Would an LLM trained on the raw internet have a fairly proportional spectrum of beliefs to the American public?
It’s just weird that we get so much humanlike reasoning from them, anyways. The jury’s still out whether our brains learn in an autoregressive manner like that, too. I’m finding a lot of really cool results in my research by tinkering with the idea that a developing brain might just be constantly trying to guess what’s happening next.
Seems pretty plausible to me that passive learning in humans works similar to next-token prediction in transformers.
I’m gonna compete so hard now
I just wonder how much budget my state has for something like that if they can’t even keep the assessors office open.
It sorta depends on what you hope to achieve. It wouldn’t be profitable to rely on the licensing in hopes of getting money from news companies or publishers, since you’re unlikely to have unique, viral info.
As far as training material for ai, it’s really not worth it. Legal precedent isn’t established enough. They scrape fully copyrighted books and news sites, and we don’t even know if those lawsuits are going anywhere. Other legal precedent for scraping for use in any data analysis or academic use, or even for commercial data analysis, pretty much allows us to scrape anything that’s public-facing.
This is the nerdiest way to lift weights. I’m gonna be so obsessed with it, I can already tell.
You’re right, but only to the extent that the capital coming from your users is disproportionate. Some spaces have money coming from mostly those plebeian users.
I don’t really see how it isn’t antitrust stuff. Apple has used their market power to restrict competition at every possible opportunity.
What? First of all, Amtrak is often more comparable to air travel as far as alternatives go.
Second, those Amtrak delays are genuinely upwards of 5 hours. I had a trip leaving at 9 pm, and they had me waiting at that seedy train stop until 1am.
Not their fault though, it was Union Pacific’s fault.
This is like a CIA Pulitzer. Nintendo could not have made a better endorsement of Yuzu’s performance.
I think this is part of the reason that Google sucks nowadays. I genuinely don’t feel like I can trust it for finding products.
I’m really interested in those books, thanks for citing them.
But peak period? You’re missing the whole information age. In AI alone, we lead the world.
And competition from the USSR is competition, too. You’re right that top-down planning is ideal for a lot of things, so the definition of ‘competitively’ I most intended was more like ‘stronger than other countries.’
