You can switch to the Chinese language version. Why don't you read that one first before deciding if it's LLM generated.

Can you tell us a bit more about the biofeedback you practiced?

You have it backwards. In prisoner's dilemma if both stay quiet they are still punished, just less so.

I think the weakest part of the bakery example is the lack of specific numbers for the rent situation. Paying for someone's rent for over a year is a pretty large financial contribution and for two people not in a romantic relationship is should not be hard to do the accounting on. Like if you can fight over equity but you can't even calculate the rent you paid over the last year ... well it's no wonder you ran out of savings ...

This also points to a weakness in the product itself: it jumps to creating a solution without pushing for more info.

sometimes a negative situation calls for honestly negative tones.

It's not exactly hard for humans in dispute to conjure up negative tones.

Yeah after re-reading the scenario it is pretty weird. The AI doesn't have enough data. There should be concrete numbers for the rent. Why wouldn't Daniel tell the LLM exactly how much it was?

Great idea though I am skeptical it will be adopted in contentious situations without some sort of stick. In amorphous situations where there is just high trust but an aversion to talking things out I could see this kind of tool being used. But in contentious or low trust situations (strangers) I suspect most people do not want fairness, they want to be ahead. A fair agreement will, paradoxically, disappoint everyone since every party feels the lack of clear advantage.

While also holding down an additional job

That's the problem, the story is saying he stopped focusing full-time on the business in order to make his own ends meet. It looks like the main innovation of the mediator generated deal is that it attempts to reconcile by drafting a way back in to 50/50 if he recommits. The starting 60/40 split is not that important.

Luck is part of her strategy for increasing agency though.

Increase your surface area for luck

they're on a very restrictive diet.

I'd argue it's basically entirely this. The modern food environment is incredible (over)-stimulating. Food is ubiquitous and abundant, with a dizzying array of novel variations. Food cues enticing you to eat are ever present.

Being vegan has the accidental side effect of counteracting much of this. A lot of the built-up food infrastructure suddenly becomes non-existent.

Imagine. You're walking into a busy mall in a foreign country. On your left, there's a café advertising a variety of tempting pastries. Your sister told you about that cafe. She loves their cream cheese cake. To your right, the sizzling flames from a steakhouse grab your attention. Moving to another level, you spot an ice cream parlor showcasing a new flavor: Strawberry Daifuku. But all this has to wait, because you're heading straight for the ramen shop you've heard so much about. They're known for their amazing pork bone broth. It's why your foodie friends have chosen to meet up here.

Now if you were vegan, all of that is just ... gone. Possibly the foodie friends as well ;)

Non-vegans don't think about this but they recognize it subconsciously -- most non-vegans would balk at having to go vegan even for a short time, just due to the inconvenience alone.

Some of the aspects of the modern food environment come back when you figure out where to look of course, but even the even a savvy vegan consumer won't encounter the same level of choice, variety and catering and let's not forget cost-competitiveness that a modern omnivore experiences.

Can you provide sources on your explanation of "the law in most countries"? In similar cases I've seen in news, the bank does not usually provide (full) reimbursement.

There have been many such cases.

Ending a crackdown does not mean the end of involvement. Involvement can be neutral or positive, a crackdown is negative.

It also lets the people being let go save face.

Does "mindbleach" make sense to you? I suppose you do not experience the phenomenon of having disturbing imagery "stuck in your head"?

To people that are confused, I offer the mind bleach test.

Have you ever imagined something that disgusted you so much that you wished you could "bleach" the image out of your head?

E.g. if you read a detailed description of the kinds of things a facebook content moderator might have to look at, is it possible for those words to generate an image and for you to regret reading the description?

It's not a lie. They're not allowed, and it's not just about marriage. They're also prohibited from getting pregnant and are routinely tested.

https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/work-permit-for-fo...

Work permit conditions:

Not marry a Singapore citizen or permanent resident in or outside Singapore without MOM's approval. This applies even after their Work Permits have expired, been cancelled or revoked.

Not get pregnant or deliver a child in Singapore during the validity of their Work Permit unless they are already married to a Singapore citizen or permanent resident with MOM's approval. This applies even after their Work Permits have expired, been cancelled or revoked.

https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/work-permit-for-fo...

As an employer, you must send your female Work Permit holders for medical screening every 6 months. This medical examination screens for pregnancy and infectious diseases such as syphilis, HIV and tuberculosis.

Note how they prohibit marriage outside Singapore even after the permit expires. It's clear what it means. If you've ever had a work permit, you're marked as unfit until proven otherwise.

The other is a sad loop, where the cache is empty, and stays empty

They call this "cache penetration" in China.

That's not the thundering herd. If someone rings the door (request), only one person (agent, process) needs to answer the door. But what might happen is that everyone in the house rushes to answer the door. The people "thundering" to the door (and making a mess as they do so) are the "herd". This can quickly become a problem if there are a lot of people in the house and the doorbell keeps ringing.

Plus Singapore is literally a single city. Is it really that unusual for a city to be dominated by a single party, especially when there's no hinterland for competing parties to build up a base in?

It's not hard to imagine them implanting Neuralink-type devices in humans to make Minority Report a reality. And that's just read-mode. With write-mode, I bet they could easily figure out a way to make wrong thoughts physically impossible to think.

It's only a matter of time before certain governments start alpha-testing this type of technology in places like Xinjiang or Myanmar.

Money.

I think they meant a salary ceiling.

I hope we can fix our brains to focus better. I don't through a better routine, I mean something that truly targets the problem at a neurological level.

"Everything being connected" is neutral. By itself that tells us nothing about whether having had the flu will have positive or negative effects in the long run. Why then are you so quick to bias yourself towards the idea of flu have some sort of protective effect down the road?

To see how "everything is connected" is, by itself, devoid of content, let's rewrite your comment:

Old people should take it but young people shouldn't forget to do so as well: flu might leaving lasting damage to the immune system We don't know very well how the body works on the higher "interconnected" level of how "X affects Y down the road over time" so allowing yourself to accumulate damage from constantly getting the flu once a year might end up causing severe unexpected issues down the road.

"Died" Brain available for autopsy. "Suddenly" Cause of death was not a chronic condition that could be the source of abnormalities in the brain.

China literally has a billion more humans than the US.

Is it really "freedom of expression" they want or just the lack of competition and the increase in living space?

A lot of evidence shows that the more severe cases are linked to having Vitamin D deficiency. Perhaps increased COVID severity is a unexpected consequence of the the public policy of "stay home indefinitely".

Like buying Yelp reviews, but for the environment.

Pretty sure that's from Blade Runner not Dao De Jing.
