Twitter is the only one which exposed this stood against this showing that the governments have Zuck by the balls, but not Elon.

I used to not want chat bots because they were bad. I can imagine situations where I would prefer a chat bots over humans. For example, if it's a niche problem that a human would be unaware of and would have to look up, read, and verify taking a long time to respond, I would definitely want a chat bot or a bot assisted human.

Trade secrets is not code.

This is the same secret society that Alex Jones filmed worshipping the Moloch.

You can do it with whatever is claimed as "scientifically approved" and works every time... because the only time one has to invoke such nonsense is if it doesn't really work... so then it has to involve your placebo and biases.

Frederick Matthias Alexander (of the Alexander Technique fame) used 3 mirrors to diagnose and fix his bad posture leading to vocal rsi, so I am certain that this is a great idea. It would be nice if someone came up with a more smarter solution for this.

He seems to have learned something from since then. Maybe it took things affecting his bottomline.

They're not. They're infected by the same "everyone is same; everyone wants the same thing, exactly as I do; therefore the rules I have derived for myself based on my particular life history and cultural conditioning should be enforced on everyone" kind of mind virus.

Yes. I don't care about whether he identifies as one. I look at his words and that is what I see.

True. And nothing of value will be lost for most people and they will be less prone to propaganda-driven thinking... freeing them from many mental prisons. True bilinguals are naturally free of this, as I have written here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35684559

The US interests own Euro with the help of NATO.

"We came, we saw, he died" - Hillary Clinton.

Dollar is backed by the US military. A credible dedollarization threat will mean that the US will use it's military might to stop it in any way it can. Saddam tried it, Gaddafi tried it... Iran and Venezuala have been trying it and Russia, China and now some middle eastern superpowers have been toying with it.

So far, none of them have had any teeth and it is unlikely that it will happen anytime soon (not in the next 50-100 years).

The article you link seems to be criticizing it for their criticism of Ukraine for human rights abuses. It has been documenting what has been happening in Ukraine for a long time, in the Donbas and Luhansk regions. It has significantly reduced it in the past few years.

It's a faux agency used for corrupt western influence in the guise of "human rights". India banned it for good reasons.

True. But for single-language speakers (and even some bilinguals who haven't thought about this), it is easier to conflate the raw thinking and the language they associate with it (which we know happens after the fact)... because they only have one language to work with. A bilingual on the other hand will understand the concept instantly if they were to think about something as themselves in one language and the same thing as themselves in another language... and they don't have to rely on poorly designed studies to know these things.

Also, depending on how integrated the different language personalities are (probably depends on whether they learnt the language as a child or as an adult), they should also easily be able to see that they are not one personality but at least two personalities embodied in one being (which can then be taken further into understanding that what we think of our "self" is made up of many different personalities based on different contexts... which is all acquired from upbringing).

Being able to think in multiple languages frees the mind from thinking in language altogether. This is easy to deduce with reasoning and I can confirm it (to myself) from experience. What psychological "science" has to say about it makes me question their study than anything.

It is important to remember however that not all bilinguals are equal. The languages have to be different enough. English, German and Swedish (all Germanic languages with very similar grammer) doesn't give you much freedom in comparision to German and Mandarin.

Find people who are fluent (i.e. they can think in different languages) in two languages that are far apart in the language tree and run the study again.

The only explanation is some sort of deal with Microsoft to not eat the Bing app's market share. Too bad, the Bing app sucks.

Why would they have manual reviews? How would it scale with hundreds of thousands of developer accounts? It's mostly automated with rare manual escalation for "suspicious activity". The "process" is to ban the malicious accounts when reported, like everywhere else.

I think Apple has also done good things with their strict app store policies

Apple could have hidden the settings to enable it behind two levels of menu settings and anyone like you would never get to it. The only reason they have "strict" policies, as has been shown over and over again, is for their commercial benefit.

Apple has been for example putting limits on data collection and tracking.

I want to be tracked by apps, because it leads to better ads for products that I am actually looking for (than some random garbage that I don't care about)... and better usability in general. Apple put those rules in place so that their ad business has the edge over competitors. If Apple was running in a country that was not corrupt, this would be seen as anti-competitive and they would be sued.

Strong players, like Facebook, may just take their app away from the official store and distribute it through other ways.

And? If you want clear rules on tracking, go talk to your politician. Apple is blocking competitors from tracking users while it has access to all of users data and uses it for their $5 billion revenue business.

I don't think "lots of people" are going to living in Mars anytime soon. Before we start sending any people, we would be sending a whole lot of other equipment to send us high quality data about the environment before we are ready to start sending any real humans.

Personally, I think we should never send any humans ever to Mars. Humans will not be leaving the solar system anyway and glamorising the idea of humans being in Mars could just unnecessarily delay going further with life.

True. But spiritually speaking, "lizard people" (which refers to the reptilian instincts of the human brains) do seem to run the governments.

The people who get to power via wrongful means have too much to lose if they lose that power (maybe their freedom or even their life) and hence the survival instinct (which is what is shared with the reptilian brain) is what primarily acts through people in power.

They show behaviors such as the following which is indicative of acting through the reptilian brain:

- fight response (eagerness of going to wars)

- territoriality (nation states fighting to expand and protect their borders)

- sexual instinct (elites connection with Epstein)

So, yeah, there may not be physical reptiles living in the Atlantic ocean ruling us, but there sure are spiritual reptiles living in the subconscious ruling us.

It's never been about helping America's overall economy; only about helping the biggest corporations which have immense control over beaurocrats and politicians.

Before the anti-Musk cats get too wet, Elon Musk has said, and I quote, "If we get far enough away from launch pad before something goes wrong, then I think I would consider that to be a success. Just don't blow up the pad.": https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/16/world/starship-spacex-lau...

I hope Facebook's horrendous implementation of this feature doesn't become a thing.

I fed the question and the grading remark to GPT-4 and here's what I got:

"""

The problems with the question and grading remark are as follows:

1. The question assumes that everyone is identical, which is an unrealistic and oversimplified assumption. In reality, people have different preferences, time constraints, and valuations of goods and services. This assumption may limit the applicability of the conclusions drawn from the model.

2. The grading remark assumes that the provision of free coffee will cause the line to get longer. While this may be true in some cases, it is not necessarily true in all cases. The increased utility from receiving free coffee may not be enough to incentivize more people to join the line, especially if the waiting time is already long, or if there are alternative sources of coffee or raspberries available.

3. The grading remark also assumes that the waiting time will increase until the value of the coffee is completely dissipated. This is a strong assumption and may not hold in all cases. The increase in waiting time may be limited by factors such as the opening hours of the store or the availability of raspberries.

4. The grading remark calculates the social cost of providing the coffee as $100, which may be an oversimplification. The actual social cost may depend on factors such as the opportunity cost of the time spent waiting in line, the environmental impact of producing and distributing the coffee, and any externalities associated with coffee consumption.

5. The question does not specify whether the government's cost of $1 per cup includes the opportunity cost of the resources used to provide the coffee or only the direct monetary cost. This may lead to an underestimation of the true social cost of providing the coffee.

In conclusion, the question and grading remark are based on a simplified model that may not accurately capture the complexities of the real world. The assumptions made in the question and grading remark may limit the applicability of the conclusions drawn from the model.

Maybe it's not a failure of GPT-4 but a failure of a system which regards "professors of economics" as competent people.

Liberal media wet dream, but clearly no.

tldr; the answer to the clickbait: "I’m having a rest before another challenge crops up, and I really don’t want to think about my heart rate variability, whether I slept well, or even have notifications on my wrist at all – I just want to give my brain a break. "

I'm guessing that the only reason he wore it to be able to write this article with this headline.

It's the trying hard to defend for me.

I think it has little to do with "science"; it is the westerners who have held science hostage which has led to all kinds of idiocy.

They will accept Egyptians as "civilized" because they can then go on to claim that the ancient Egyptians who lived 2500 years ago, who were more close to Europeans, totally built the pyramids even though nothing suggests that they had the means to do so... and the answer to that obviously is "slavery"... because that is how Europeans would do it and therefore that is how it was done.

And nothing is unknown or open to explanation because western "experts" of course know everything.

I don't think there is much hope for knowing more of human past until the western empire collapses and more intelligent civilizations take over.

They do, famously so for recognising cows as holy animals which make vegetarianism possible.
