Yes, my thought exactly.. In my experience it is always how you behave when arguing. If you "blame" the other will become defensive and nothing is accomplished. If you generalize and and talk in a helpful supportive way they will see their fault themselves and correct the fault. I usually get most on my side. We openly discuss and I genuinely look for faults in my own arguments too.
Yes! Exactly this... Attention... We become so dependent on always being distracted so that we can not function without it. I remember there where a similar discussion about TV back in the days.. but the level it is on now is unprecedented.
I think society will adjust to this behavior as it has always done before. How damning or not is yet to be decided. It does not necessarily has to be a bad thing... but being dependent on something usually is.
I think most of us older than 25 understands this. We have seen the development and the war on attention. I guess the term Dopamine Fracking is not bad. I don't think we should be too alarmist though... we are kids of our time.. in that we will arrange the society around us. In essence we are not that different from the Romans. We just have a lot more toys.
Unregulated capitalism is bad. We all know that. I think the automation will ultimately be that thing that brings us past that. Via UBI or something similar... but that is far from now.
This is almost the same as going from making fire with a stick to using a lighter.. sure it is simplified but still not wrong. Humans while still doing grunt work can still make mistakes as does the machine.. the machine will eventually discover it. The same can not be said of the human because of the work needed to do so might be too much. In the end we might not learn as much.. but it will not matter and thus is really not an issue.
I think people are forgetting that handwriting is also a technology. It is kinda a similar shift from using a stick to make fire and a lighter. The more work you put into something the more cognition you are using... so I am not sure those studies are of that much value.. We will not need to write in the future.. we will have AI for that. People are always looking for convenience and it will win in the end.
This made me think of Pauling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling) who was a famous scientist and big proponent of high-dosage C-vitamin. He claimed it could cure everything from a cold to heart disease and cancer. Later studies did though not find any benefit of high-dosage C-vitamin and that potentially had a higher risk of prostate cancer. Pauling died of prostate cancer.
This is kinda huge as a lot of services depend on 2g and 3g and which will now stop working. I think mainly on stuff like built-in remote systems for cars etc..
This I am afraid does not feel as the right thing to do. I think the KISS-principle is a good standard to follow and while terminals have to do more than one thing, it should not do everything. Complexity leads to instability. Terminals has to be nimble and not clumsy behemoths like web browsers.
Comparing with Tesla is bad as there is a political aspect why people, especially in EU, do not want to buy it after 2024. Which means the statistics might falter. Also when I look at other sources the data say different. I mean if I look at data from the biggest reseller in Sweden KVD you have EV's that has ~80% of the original worth after three years.
No, I don't think it would have. Israels objective is to occupy everything as it is and have been using illegal settlements to achieve. This prolonged war and genocide of Palestinians is just an excuse to further that goal.
The oppression is the biggest reason Hamas can grow. If that stopped I think with time Hamas would weaken and disappear. Like IRA in Northen Ireland eventually did.
It is sad how history repeats itself.. how the country who should have been on the forefront of preventing genocide is actually the one who does it. Israel is even using similar reasoning for continuing the fight. Similar how the Nazis in Norway was furious over the resistance there.
I think a lot would have been won if the illegal settlements stopped and the apartheid like system ended. Hamas (and any other resistance) lives on the resentment created from that.
It think if Israel went back to the border of -67 and then did not try to expand its territories. It would with time resolve.
I think I learned this from Arch Linux and their focus on the KISS principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle). This is also something that goes beyond the computing sphere. It is really a good principle for life in general.
