This assumes that you will get an actual error throw and not merely incorrect behavior.

Ah, thank you.

The jobs in the cities weren't created by the new farming techniques though, those new farming techniques only removed jobs by the millions like you are saying AI might do.

Several of the agricultural revolutions we went though is what freed up humanity to not spend all of it's work producing sustenance, leaving time for other professions like making art and music. But it also destroyed a lot of jobs for people who were necessary for gathering food the old inefficient way.

If we take your argument to it's logical conclusion, all progress is inherently bad, and should be stopped.

I deposit instead that the real problem is that we tied people's ability to afford basic necessities to how much output they can produce as a cog in our societal machine.

The king is the sovereign because all the men obey his commands, and all the men obey his commands because he is the king.

Black & White 1 does have multiplayer, only the sequel lacked it.

Might as well make forging signatures and identity thief legal. Who is the government to say which squiggles I may and may not write?

Society is about compromises and balancing different needs against each other. Sometimes we go one way, other times we go the other way, there is no one principle that always solve any situation.

I read that as 3 books per year at first and thought to myself that that was a rather harsh limitation but surely any true respectable author wouldn't be spitting more than that...

...and then I realized you wrote 3 books a day. What the hell.

It's kinda hilarious because if a movie had the AI start giving out an answer and then mid-way censor itself I would call the movie bad. Truth is stranger than fiction I suppose.

While you aren't wrong, somebody might get the dumb idea that "If a tool instantly rejects the consent then the user hasn't truly consciously made a rejection."

This is the flimsy excuse made not to respect the Do Not Track header. By making it so that it's a tool for expressing the user's opinion, be it negative or positive, it becomes harder to spin it as being a tool that does not actually embody the user's view.

Then maybe something more generic sounding like ClojEngine? Naming is hard lol. Core is fine, but maybe add one more word to it, because googling just "Core" to find your repo is difficult.

But I highly recommend changing the capitalization of Maker to maker to avoid being mixed up with the product RPG Maker. Adding "an" helps signal that it's a descriptor instead of a name too.

Core: An RPG maker and engine for Clojure.

Maybe change your wording to "an RPG maker", as "RPG Maker" is already an established brand.

As for names, maybe something cute like ClojRPG?

It does indeed extend all around, and I'm sorry you had to go though that. But you have to keep in mind that there is an extreme power imbalance between an employee and a manager who can have them fired, which means the jerk-factor is very much slanted heavily in one direction. For regular employees having those above you abuse their power over you in various ways is often a daily occurrence.

Maybe to us technical folks, but for everybody else on the planet it's night and day different.

The defense for Apple and Google taking their 30% cut is usually about how they do vetting and take responsibility for their app store being legitimate.

> a16z did not give me any bug bounty on this because of the fact i publicly reached out instead of trying to reach out privately. the only reason i did it this way was because there was no available contact on their main site and the email i could find engineering@a16z.com bounced my emails

That's a clever lifehack to save your company money, by not having any way to privately contact engineering all bug bounties will have to be reported publicly which means you don't need to pay anything.

Obviously an outright bad idea should not be kept around just because that's how we have always done it, but don't underestimate the value of predictability and stability. Society can't operates if laws change every day, even if it's driven by a desire to make the laws better.

It's kinda wild how frequent screw-ups like this with companies like IBM and Oracle are and that companies never learn.

Maybe it's specifically in the context of unions and nothing else?

If you lie about your work experience, it turns out you can't program Rust, then you can get fired for that.

But if you lie about never having been part of a union before, and it turns out you have been part of a union before, then you can't get fired for that.

Don't worry, Microsoft has big ambitions and huge plans about how to truly present themselves as more safety oriented in the future.

People shouldn't be dishonest, yet we can't just outlaw lies.

But we can outlaw lying in advertisements and product information.

It basically comes down to the scale and context. Things don't need to be completely morally black and white for us to see that something is generally bad.

Gay people can obviously procreate, nothing about your body stops functioning when you are gay.

What you mean is that they don't have sexual attraction towards people of an opposite gender, where if they had a relationship with them, that relationship would encourage procreation.

To me that just doesn't seem like a "difference in capacity".

I personally don't want children, and will probably seek out a partner who likewise does not want children. If I encounter somebody who wants lots of children, I will see that we have different life goals, and I probably won't be very keen on being in a relationship with them. Do you consider me "damaged" or of "diminished capacity" because of it?

Notably very few plumbers do years of work for free in hopes of being branded the "Rockstar plumber".

Companies want you hire you and for you to bring your existing knowledge, skills, and understanding to build a product.

Then they want you to not use the knowledge, skills, and understanding to build a product when you aren't working for them.

This is hypocritical and self-contradictory. They require you to do the very thing they don't want you to do, just as long as it's in their favor.

This is the baffling part. Maybe it's like a "soft launch" thing to see if it works at all?

The problem isn't people that don't understand this, the problem is the people who do understand it and utilizes it for their own ends. By propping up the outgroup as a threat that needs to be addressed, you influence, push, and control the ingroup in the direction you want it to move.

I'd take the $10m, but I'm part of several hobbyist communities online and having all those people who share my passions all hate my guts would suck.

I guess I am both agreeing and disagreeing. The exact same problem is true for words in a book. Are the words in a lexicon true, false, or do they not have a truth value?

What is the difference between a google map style application that shows pixels that are "right" for a road, and pixels that are "wrong" for a road?

A pixel is a pixel, colors cannot be true or false. The only way we can say a pixel is right or wrong in google maps is whether the act of the human utilizing that pixel to understand geographical information results in the human correctly navigating the road.

In the same way, an LLM can tell me all kinds of things, and those things are just words, which are just characters, which are just bytes, which are just electrons. There is no truth or false value to an electron flowing in a specific pattern in my CPU. The real question is what I, the human, get out of reading those words, if I end up correctly navigating and understanding something about the world based on what I read.

> If you care about economic success of the country, the goal isn't 'collect as many taxes as possible'. The goal is to make the citizens wealthier in real terms.

Just like how "collect as many taxes as possible" isn't actually a good goal, just "make the citizens wealthier" isn't actually a good goal either because it says nothing about the distribution of that wealth.

If we enacted a law that made 99.9% of all citizens absolutely destitute to the point where they must eat rotten food found in the trash to survive, but this law also multiplied the wealth of Bezos and Elon a millionfold, then that would successfully "make the citizens wealthier" in sum.

Taxes are used to run society, from it's roads, fire department, education, social services, and much more. A lot of people are pushing to cut down on those things, to decrease the bounty that society offers regular people who partake, because "we just can't afford it." and the reason we can't afford it is because there is an overly focus on "make the citizens wealthier" even at the cost of most citizens.
