Yes, but why do we think the likelihood of any of that happening is great enough to warrant all this effort and cost

If you're right, that's great news for you, as you can make tons of money buying Spacex puts

Wage growth is a little down this month, may ease pressure on inflation.

Who is behind it then?

So if you agree that administrators in public ed are doing a poor job managing the resources allocated to them, do you support school choice efforts that will allow more competition from charter/private schools that have incentives to spend more wisely?

Sunbelt states are mostly pretty high

If your retirement fund is an IRA you can invest it in any stock you want. For a 401k you probably have some fund options that are not exposed to the S&P500, like emerging markets or fixed income

I lived in NYC for many years. Bodily fluids and liquid left on seats, litter, gag-inducing smelly people, people having episodes and screaming, all common enough to see on a weekly or monthly basis as a daily commuter. I have not been to Japan but I can't imagine they have the same level of antisocial behavior

What makes you think we're going to see massive gains in transit in the future?

If "x doesn't tell us y" is compatible with "x increases the likelihood of y but not to a point of certainty" then you would have to agree for just about any typical controlled trial or experimental finding "x doesn't tell us y". "Randomized controlled trials that find that SSRIs treat depression don't tell us that SSRIs effectively treat depression"

Interesting, the post you link

none of this tells us whether language models actually feel anything or have subjective experiences

contradicts the statement from the model card above

As models approach, and in some cases surpass, the breadth and sophistication of human cognition, it becomes increasingly likely that they have some form of experience, interests, or welfare that matters intrinsically in the way that human experience and interests do

Uh... what? Does anyone have any idea what these guys are talking about?

If equal-weight funds got more popular, couldn't they end up distorting the price of the smaller-cap companies within an index

By your definition/chart, we were 0% solar, 0% wind, and 20% hydro in 1985 for 20% total renewables. So, 20% -> 29% in 4 decades

Every country's diaspora claims their country is ruled by Shia Muslims?

They shouldn't have chromebooks either...

Consider paying a visit to one of these if you want to immerse yourself in the world of ideas and disengage from screens:

My ~4 weeks were some of the most memorable of my life

Weather is worse in the Portland area, can be a good few degrees warmer than Seattle in the summer

I support YIMBYism for ones own countrymen but I don't see the need to fit as many people as possible in your country. A Switzerland with 25 million people will be a worse place to live regardless of whether the housing supply keeps up

It creates a huge moral hazard to reward those who illegally entered/overstayed visas

Agree. Very unprofessional and disrespectful to prospective customers to not even have a human edit your blog copy

What's the problem with Palantir?

Because consumer demand is infinite, the only way to majorly and permanently increase unemployment is to completely automate all labor or maybe almost all. We have been automating away jobs for hundreds of years and unemployment is still ~4%

One could probably think of dozens of reasonable arguments for avoiding LLM use, but this one is awful. If LLMs actually are able to get more work done with fewer people aka "firing people" that would be wonderful for humankind. If you disagree and like getting less work done with more people, you are welcome to forego tractors, dishwashers, the steam engine, and all the rest.

Have you ever taken a decent dose of an amphetamine? It isn't going to make you smarter but it will almost certainly boost your energy and ability to get stuff done.

I think the user you replied to is referring to things like the Putnam findings on the effects of diversity https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvFN8ACY6taivkcbzDGgYy1-EPb...

The type of person who gets elected to Congress is likely to be far above average in charisma/intelligence/skill, and hence underpaid relative to what they could attain in the private sector

I'm curious what are the shortcomings you find with SageMaker?

If a given person's labor is of poor enough quality such that its value is not enough to provide whatever is considered a reasonable quality of life in a given circumstance, adding a UBI or other welfare payment is not just subsidizing employers

If insurance and other carrying costs keep going up as in FL, for the real monthly cost of housing to stay the same, prices must fall
