Then, if the Ai bubble is truly a bubble, the giant compute warehouses can be transitioned to power plants and used to store Amazon junk for delivery instead. Wonder what the economic wonkiness looks like when energy is that abundant.

I can feel stressed cooking, but usually that's from an Internal desire to create something good. It's also avoidable with frozen or delivery (or asking my wife to cook). The end result is often enjoyable, too.

Driving in traffic stress is external, reduces my faith in humanity, and is most often unavoidable. The end result (was) often that I was at work or home late. Not enjoyable.

For me at least.

Less than 1% of Facebook ads get clicked. Not sure what sort of roi marketing folks have come up with to convince purse strings their ads are actually producing, but if the "marketing" department can't spin numbers to look good, might be time find a new marketing department.

Then you can get 2% of your ads clicked on.

All that said, I'd be interested in learning if my layman's perspective is garbage (which, let's be honest, it probably is).

"Although the central causes of the depression are still hotly con- tested, there is a consensus that the "passage of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff exacerbated the Great Depression."34 Vice President Albert Gore's assertion (in his NAFTA debate with H. Ross Perot) of our consensus on this issue, has been corroborated. On top of the profession's lack of agreement about the genesis of the Great Depression, there is a disagreement about the effect of the New Deal. In fact, the economists in the sample are almost evenly divided on the question of whether or not when taken "as a whole, government policies of the New Deal served to lengthen and deepen the Great Depression." The consensus among historians is that the new Deal did not lengthen and deepen the depression."

This may have been true in the past, but the Tf2 hat model (dunno if tf2 was first to the cosmetic market, but it was my first memorable experience with it) proves that you can continue to extract value from customers after initial purchase.

How much does it cost to run a server compared to a $3.00 hat? (which if you're valve you develop a secondary market to trade those items and take a cut after creating demand by restricting the number of earbuds available).

True. But agency is just how we rationalize responsibility being "fair", no?

The legal system is designed with "agency" in mind, but it's true purpose is to create law abiding citizens. We hold people responsible, because doing so alters behavior, mechanism of altered behavior is just window dressing.

I thought quantam mechanics was enough doubt to refute the materialistic mind. A probabilistic system does not lead itself to a physical reduction of outcomes as follows from specific inputs.

If someone more knowledgeable about the subject would like to chime in, I would appreciate it.

I've seen similar studies bouncing around. The results are always kinda promising, maybe.

The important thing here is fish burps.

Omega 3 pills are relatively inexpensive with the really only negative side effect being fish burps. So maybe it does work for aggression, antisocial behavior (heart disease, protection from Nuero cognitive disorders later in life), or maybe it doesn't. But if all it costs is a few bucks and some fish burps, isn't it worth trying?

Looks like an eeg neural device. Lots of interesting stuff on this in terms of neural prosthesis. As suspect as the source may be, scholarly literature on the subject suggests this well within the realm of possibility.

Here's a swedish study on the eeg robot control (I haven't read this article, but the abstract suggests its approximate to the Chinese study): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=13...

Anyway, while the eeg angle for brain computer interfaces (BCI) are interesting, bandwith limits are a major issue.

Kuiken and his staff have had some success with reinnervation, which also returns some "tactile sense" capacity, but is still limited by the differing commands for input (in this case free muscle groups).

Anyway, interesting stuff. Should be fun to see where this technology goes.
