Who is claiming that climate change is caused by foreigners?

mythos opus sonnet haiku, yes. But why in the world would a "fable" be bigger than an "opus"

Hybrids are more expensive

You are a guest in a home that belongs to others. You're not entitled to their indefinite hospitality

Would be nice if the people downvoting this tried to make an argument instead

The standard of living/real GDP per capita or per hour of work is about as high as it's ever been.

South Korea would be an interesting point of comparison. High IQs, after-school tutoring, 70% of young people get degrees: result is a college wage premium of only 31% vs 54% average in the OECD

They elected who? What does this refer to?

Because I remember to take mine maybe 25% of the time

By one (seemingly pretty reasonable) measure Texas has the 4th-best state education system!

A strange turn of phrase. What is the crime in view that's supposed to be punished?

A car saves you time walking/biking, a robot saves chore time. Depending on depreciation, it's feasible that you could go do minimum-wage level work on Doordash using the chore time you save from the robot and still come out ahead. E.g. 5 hours/week at $20/hour = $5200/yr

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...
