And that is not all. Spoken speech moves up and down in pitch, and in a rhythm, and no doubt that is at least much of the basis of music.

One reason the government surveillance is important is I've read there is a growing movement among the right-to-lifers to hold women who abort criminally liable.

"Humans are simply NOT designed to _be_ happy, we are designed to _search_ for happiness."

If that were true, then all humans and the people in all cultures would be equally unhappy. And everyone would be equally unhappy all the time. But they are not, partly because of people's expectation levels.

"make a multiyear purchasing decision based upon recent events" You have this all backwards. The fact is that for many decades petroleum is an unreliable energy source due to geopolitical factors, but people have been pretending that was not the case. What has happened in the last two months is people have finally realized the long-term truth.

Ok. Thank you for the reply.

Can you give me some numbers? Like how many students were there 30 years ago, and how many now?

Ok, but the question still remains, how is it going to get up to the required speed? And in a way that is practical for a passenger plane?

Interesting, but assuming they can get the engine to work as intended, the question still remains how the passenger jet would get up to Mach 5 so the engine can start working. A solid-fuel rocket booster that would then drop off?

The focus of the article is on why Japanese corporations excel at so many different areas. Are you saying that all the factors it mentions, like employees being trained as generalists, life-time and so on, are completely irrelevant? or are you saying they are important but some other essential factors were left out?

The article mentions software as an area where the Japanese don't excell doesn't work.

What is your evidence for your claim?

Remember how fossil fuel promoters always say its big advantage over solar and wind energy is reliability?

Recover 98.04% of waste heat energy? That may follow the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, but it definitely violates the 2nd.

The US is much better at integrating immigrants into its society and making them economically productive.

There are various causes. One is that live performing has pretty much died as a source of income. Venues have closed because of rising rents and fewer customers, due to covid and people in general staying home and spending their time on social media. Touring has also gotten much more expensive.

Also recording has died out as a source of income for most artists due to streaming and now ai. Also session work where most musicians have been replace first by computer generated music and now ai.

Also recording companies have stopped signing acts and then publicizing them. Every artist is expected to do their own promoting on social media. And then, as Beato says in the video, there is the lack of practice spaces, and cheap apartments to live in.

I am a fan of the astonishing prodigy drummer Yoyoka Soma. She moved her family from Japan to LA 4 years ago, but was able to do it only because she has a rich patron. I am also a fan of the astonishing prodigy singer Angelina Jordan. She moved her family from Norway to LA 7 years ago, but was able to do it only because her grandmother, whom moved with them, is wealthy.

This is so speculative. I think the first step in determining why some people believe they are much more competent than they really are would be to interview them on how they came to believe it.

I think the fact that the author thinks this is unnecessary and that he can determine the cause of this phenomenon without this sort of empirical research indicates he believes he is better at understanding how one goes about determining human psychology than he really is.

Was the article flat out wrong or at least misleading in any way that might lead people to make poor decisions regarding which drug to take?

I agree. And modern Western science and political thought has followed Aristotle far more than Plato. In particular, the parts of Aristotle's science that got thrown out was the result of following out his empirical method further than he was able to. We have also followed his empirical approach to political philosophy rather than Plato's Republic.

The problem started because Azure was initially designed and released in a huge rush because Microsoft was so far behind AWS and needed something better.

I am reminded of the research finding that every human-designed complex system that works well started with a simple system that did did just one thing well, and new functions were added one at a time, with each one perfected before moving on to another. Which is the exact opposite of what happened here.

For what use cases is this supposed to be better than using a desktop editor like OpenShot?

Remember, Microsoft's goal is to turn Windows into an AI agent that keeps all your data in the cloud, that it can use that data for endless money-making purposes like advertising, and that you pay for with a dozen different subscriptions.

Microsoft will continue to move in that direction in various overt and covert manners, and any so-called responding to what users wants is just a charade.

I have read that Musk has given up the car industry, except for cybertaxis, because he think Tesla could never compete on price with the Chinese manufacturers.

The basic problem is that human hands are made of flesh, while robot hands are made of artificial materials like steel and carbon fiber composites. Flesh is a million times more complex, starting at the molecular level, and so it can do all sorts of things that artificial materials cannot.

Compare for instance a jetliner and a bird. The jetliner can fly fast and carry a lot of cargo or human beings. The bird is a lot smaller and slower, but it can do all sorts of things a jetliner cannot. This includes growing itself from a single fertilized egg, self-repair, defense against attacks of various types, finding and getting food, building its own shelter, and reproduction. All because it is made of biological cells. And note that for a jetliner, the similar tasks are carried out by human beings also made of biological cells.

I think a similar analysis explains why artificial general intelligence is impossible.

A few thoughts:

Won't kids just lie about their age, like they do to sign up with social media?

What if more than one person uses the pc?

What if it is sold?

If the OS is open source, then the user could remove the software code to collect the data.

This is protect-young-people theater.

Am I correct in assuming that you believe, as Trump puts it, that global climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese to ruin the American economy? And that we should stay on fossil fuels forever?

Or if I am wrong about you, then tell us what you yourself actually believe. What do you specifically believe about global climate change? And what specifically should we be doing about energy? And also, what do you think about Trump's claim that wind turbines cause cancer, and his claim that China has no wind turbines?

I strongly suspect that you won't answer these questions, or you will do so but in a vague, evasive manner. But perhaps I am wrong about this.

I use archive.today all the time. How do you access pages, like for instance on the economist, without it?

I think it is plausible that this piece by Chomsky's wife is honest. However, I have one problem with it. This is that it does not say what they did when they learned the truth about Epstein in 2019. Did they cut off all relations?

"No, not at present - but there will be in the future" That seems to imply that until that future arrives, people should mostly stay away from cybercurrencies.

I am bringing all this up because when cybercurrencies were getting started, the people boosting them assured us that they would soon be doing all sorts of wonderful things, and nothing bad would happen. That prediction turned out to be wildly mistaken. And instead of considering that maybe the idea itself is just basically bad, in the years since they keep insisting that soon it will all be fixed.

Can you understand why, given this long history, I would be dubious? Or is it your view that I am under some sort of moral obligation to believe that the approaches to fixing it being worked on at present are absolutely certain to work?

I am a listening trainer, and have taken over 1,500 people through a basic session in active listening. But that said, I agree with you that what matters is having a good relationship, and that involves using different communication skills at different times.
