>we'll just add this feature on as some async verification since it takes a while, then make the original update wait in some weird state for it to finish.

Later, when users are confused at failures and weird states. >ok now lets build a new system that tries to gather all this information on updates in "weird states" and let users fix them!

simplified example, but nightmare.

this right here, our issue is mostly the accountability. Accountable people are much less likely to apply force when not needed. Trying to remember some citations, but there's really interesting data out there on citizen involved shootings v police ones. and I suspect the accountability is key.

why not? if its a professional force. plenty of other countries people use as models have military and police linked together, imo we're (USA) just missing the punishment part. Need to court martial police more :). Whole point of police is internal force application right. Can't really enforce any laws without use of force.

Sure but my point is still that its Arabic and not inherently violent etc. whereas the holocaust is a specific genocidal event.

I think the word has been twisted a bit, to compare it to holocaust is imo insane. I've known people named Jihad.

That's not what it means, but go off. Although yes it is generally used pejoratively, and if you are using the term, its for a rhetorical effect.

I believe he is referencing the proletariat masses, the rabble, etc.

That's literally always possible? The idea is to put up walls and fail-safes to minimize the chance.

Never considered that, but mentioning flags that have minimal "history" pushed me in a totally different direction about some modern political transnational movements lol.

Amercian is imo the worst airline out there, and the only one I refuse to fly with. At least the budget airlines are cheaper and honest for horrible service.

You are severely overestimating the average, or even above average understanding of LLMs.

I enjoy that you are framing this as somethings that "may" happen in the future.

Probably also a bit of liability. After all its been trained on a dataset that includes a long running joke of trying to trick people on the internet to unknowingly create chlorine gas.

Japan is also way thingger than America, which the article points out: > The US spends ~$14,570 per person on healthcare. Japan spends ~$5,790 and has the highest life expectancy in the OECD. That gap is roughly $3 trillion per year.

Need to have people go in for checkups and get shamed for unhealthy habits, not really a money question.

debt doesn't harm you until the carrying costs become to high v profits. Just have to hit that point (if is exists, maybe growth accelerates forever if you are optimistic).

The third worldization of the USA continues at pace. Expensive reasonable enclaves for the rich, nothing for the rest.

Scalia wrote some really interesting opinions for sure. Feel like the arguments are only going to get worse :(

Hasn't this already been observed with not too stable individuals? remember some story about kid asking ai if his parents/government etcs were spying on him.

Oh god, was working within seller central when brand registry was being spun up. Id rather not relive some of those experiences (or use them).
