It’s odd to me how upset people get about this.
Historic buildings seem very ledger-esque as changes and previous states get documented well and any modification isn’t truly erasing history but just appending to it.
I doubt historians will have much trouble with some additions from our time. In any case, they would be a new historic artifact.
The European Parliament is advertising this as a win for the EU. Yet it isn’t entirely uncontroversial and there’s plenty of voices arguing it’s overreaching - easy to argue this matches the broad definition of political weaponization as-is.
Great read and amazing initiative.
Relevance of findings seems to 90% depend on whether you believe the EFSA BPA intake thresholds over the FDA.
Love how transparent they’re about it instead of doing what most do.
The world needs more of this.
Maybe. Alternatively it could just be the marketing department milking the narrative over an extended amount of time. Going instantly 100% “carbon neutral” through carbon credits is certainly a worse move in this regard.
This funny old narrative of a revolution in that direction sounds pretty misplaced if we're talking about a future where you won't need humans to get stuff done...
I feel like a lot of that frustration comes from seeing "arts and culture" as the pinnacle of anything when maybe it's just an overvalued side-effect of human wiring to avoid boredom.
Imho. it's just really hard to reason that average non-educational entertainment has a positive net effect on global society.
Seeing it this way makes it way less surprising that "art" and "creative entertainment" is one of the first things that gets hit by automation.
For any form of tech product work I'd rather work together with 10 very engaged people rather than 20 half-assers. Don't see why I'd wanna hire a part-time worker unless they're truly special and even then only for a consulting role.
Not saying 32h hours is half-assing but I'd be surprised if the avg candidate pool for <=32h was as productive per hour as the others.
Sorry for self replying but I just had a look at the repo and it's definitely worth fully automating this.
A js/python snippet converting pngs to superwhite video frames should be fairly easy to implement.
I think the actual point is more about managing volatility rather than maximizing expected value as the investment horizon becomes more and more short term.
Of course this doesn't apply if you plan to pass it on to your family - which might be what's happening here, besides people sticking to habits.
There's always "some" interface under the hood you can automate on - unless they start requiring captchas for every interaction.
It might not be as comfy to use as the official API but still better than manually deleting hundreds or thousands of comments.
This is very basic but I read both at a young age and I'm massively happy I did.
1st one being "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman - completely reshaped my model of how much we are in control of our thought process.
2nd one was "Thus spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche - which is a very difficult read. Overall Nietzsche's approach to philosophy just immediately resonated with me and sent me down a path of thought that's still the foundation of my world model today. The whole approach of seeing life as inherently meaningless so meaning can be chosen at will was a great thing to have growing up.
You definitely don't need to read the book to get there though - just reading a summary of what Nietzsche is about will probably be enough.
