This seems like an unserious experiment from the premise, but it could be interesting. But has this effect been replicated?

I mean there were problems with the "old way" as well. Not clear if this change is net positive or negative in my opinion.

The difference is that white collar as a class gleefully aided outsourcing/automating blue collar jobs with the exact same economic argument

Automation is only good if you're putting blue collar people out of work! White-collar is out of bounds! People should do the work where they add unique value

Is the purpose of a system really what it does though? Obviously there are side effects and tradeoffs in any complex system. Is the purpose of a vaccine to make you sick - no, but …

Obviously I mean the definition of evil implied by your statement that they are indefensibly evil... Again, what level of copyright violation is evil? Downloading music without pay…

This is a very close minded definition of evil. What is the threshold of environmental impact before something is evil and its use indefensible? What level of copyright violation w…

There's definitely going to be cheap or open source models

For those of us who care about the answers to these questions, rather than who gets credit for doing it, we will welcome any faster means of solving these problems.

Asymptotic Safety also predicted the higgs mass (126 GeV vs the measured value of 125 GeV). https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.0208 The trick is, at that time most of the possible mass ran…

I unironically agree, p-hacking should be a criminal offense.

Interestingly, there is some neuroscience research that transformer architecture resembles "cue based retrieval" in the human brain in some important ways. https://www.sciencedirec…

As we all know, global warming wasn't happening until AI data centers started being built. They are honestly a drop in the bucket

I find this kind of reduction silly. All your brain is doing is bouncing atoms off each other, with some occasionally sticking together, how can it be really thinking? See how sill…

just replace "money" with "prestige" and I think the above comment works just fine

My point is if the people in the study were not randomly selected, there are any number of confounding factors that could influence why their anxiety changed.

I don't know that, which is why I said "maybe." Facebook does not typically do academic level research - they do quick studies to verify product direction. From what I have seen, t…

"But internal study found users who stopped using Facebook and Instagram for a week showed lower rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness." This isn't causal though. The users …

Are you saying I was incorrect for feeling that way? The reason is that you no longer really know what's going on. (And yes, that feeling would be the same if C++ had as rich a lib…

I felt the same way about python when I was switching from C++ to python for data analysis

Your desktop was hacked or your email was hacked?

These points make it easy to remember for me, adding ~5C for 10 F. 40 F = 4 C (forty is four) 50 F = 10 C 60 F = 16 C (sixty is sixteen)

What other states have had non-competes similar to California? North Dakota and Oklahoma. It's possible that other factors might be more important in driving California's economic …

For the second one I was hoping there was something like employment satisfaction, but thank you!
