the other insidious part about it is that pretty much everyone agrees: experience is critical to ensuring AI isn’t just producing slop… 30% of the time you get something that’s not just working, but well architected
now when you get AI to do things, even if you go with the assertion that it’s quicker (which a lot of the time i doubt: task choice is also critical for effectively using AI to generate useful outputs), you’re grinding down on your experience… not only are you learning less, but you’re also letting your reasoning skills degrade because you’re not using them (this is a pretty well-documented effect in standard neuroscience afaik)
imo, only use AI in situations where you’d put a library in, because the level of abstraction from the problem solving is similar
if only it were that simple in a social and professional context
i’ll choose linux + a user age metadata standard that’s technically compliant + shit professional application that i have no choice but to use - over windows + exactly that same application any day of the week
one of the most valuable lessons i got at hyper expensive private school for high school was that in y11 and 12 (last 2 years for australia) was how to take a test
taking tests is a learned skill, and if everyone learns to do it that problem somewhat goes away
there’s always problems, but everyone benefited substantially from the proper training
sure, but if an application “requires” age verification for whatever reason, would you prefer the functional equivalent to clicking “i’m over 18 pinky promise” as a standard, or they use biometric data that they all implement differently and then there’s like 33.7 leaks in the next 6 months?
like the whole thing is bullshit, but a file on disk is a wink wink nudge nudge sure we are compliant bud
the true unix way: if you text editor you own the world
yeah i completely agree with that part… just i think in terms of costs i wanted to know for real if its a good argument, and figured id document it
yall have some of the highest per capita healthcare costs in the world, and some of the worst health outcomes among peer economies. “too expensive” and “better quality” are both terrible arguments based on the reality of the situation (lol reality… because that matters)
… but it’s also interesting to put into perspective: that $2b/day doesn’t even come close to healthcare costs (although… it’s not an order of magnitude off, so there’s that i guess)
for large companies, i think you’re probably right… but there are plenty of transactions that happen cash. i think it’s a case of not letting perfect be the enemy of better. some people might lie, and if they get caught that should have some punishment… but we hope that most people don’t lie, because the risk just isn’t worth it
quick estimate because i’ve seen this a few times:
australia spends $279b/y on health ($190b usd)
australia is roughly the population of texas at 27.6m
us population is 340m
so all things being equal that’s $2.2t usd for the us population
so after 6y at war you could have had 1y of healthcare
ngl i was really hoping it’d be closer :(
(but of course this is bullshit anyway because yall already pay for healthcare, and lives extinguished vs lives saved etc etc… thus the “all things being equal” like circular cow in a vacuum)
what’s stripping these companies lying about their financial data to tax authorities?
there are lots of self-report mechanisms that we use… it’s just not worth the blowback of non-disclosure to lie about it. some people do, and sometimes they get caught; not always, but overall it’s a net benefit to transparency
will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
your partners in poly relationships are among your best sources of support and advice. they know you, and they likely know your other partners pretty well too. your metamores (partners partners) can also help, as everyone in all parts of poly relationships should want everyone else to be happy (clearly they don’t want someone their partner cares about to be unhappy)
(that said, since yall are relatively young with poly things, they may not have your best interests at heart i guess… they might see your communication as a way to drive a wedge between your partner and you so they can have him all to themselves… that is incredibly unhealthy, and if they do think in any way like this the poly relationship won’t last in the long term: metamores all have to share)
communication is always the biggest thing. speak your needs, and don’t assume that they know how you’re feeling
it’s also more than possible that they just express their relationship differently. perhaps there’s things that you and he do that his boyfriend is envious of too
try and figure out if behaviours are actually things that you want or if it’s just jealousy… jealousy is something you absolutely need to get over for poly to work: try to develop that into compersion: be happy that your partners are happy. if you can’t, that’s fine too! but don’t let it consume you. in that case, the relationship (or poly in general… poly sounds great in theory, but takes a lot of emotional maturity, knowledge of yourself, and just plain work) might just not be for you - yet.
again, you have another partner: use them for support, either to work out your needs and then how to communicate them, or to deal with the emotional fallout if things don’t work out
ENS runs on Etherium which no longer uses POW, thus doesn’t waste power in the same way as eg bitcoin
also I2P and onion don’t have name systems per se, so that doesn’t actually address the problem… AA could just use an IP address or something, but they require (for human usability) well known domain names
I2P and onion still require systems for discovery. they solve different problems to name systems
You don't need to understand why they struggle, just accept that they do.
to mean that you shouldn’t assume someone is lying. they just might have different circumstance or needs. that doesn’t invalidate their experience, just that you’re solving different problems (which may not have been well communicated, and also may not even be technical problems).
if you’re trying to solve their problems, then sure that’s a discussing… but 99% of tech conversations on the internet like this are people berating others for “not understanding” the “simple” way it’s done because it works fine for them
