Rationally that's what matters, but the response of the courts and regulators could make autopilot uneconomic.

> But I also don't see what's wrong with attempting to distribute (some of) the revenue in such a way to compensate for harms.

It becomes a big political fight over how much of the revenue should be directed to social programs, so the tax policy changes every 4 years. A straight rebate gets wide support and taking it away becomes more and more unpopular as people get used to receiving it.

This is a common method of salt production ...

The “brine” at the outlet pipe is just 2-3% saltier than the ocean water at the intake pipe. The impact is not zero, but it is very low if done right.

perhaps ... which temporarily impaired her executive function.

There does seem to be some regulatory testing going on here.

> We tend to judge the likelihood and significance of things based on how easily they come to mind

Consequently:

> We overestimate the likelihood of unlikely events. And we underestimate the likelihood of likely events

How to stop doing that:

> #1. Always consider base rates when making judgments about probability.

> #2. Focus on trends and patterns.

> #3. Take the time to think before making a judgment.

> #4. Keep track of information you might need to use in a judgment far off in the future.

> #5. Go back and revisit old information.

There's been an argument that schemes relying on backpropagation can't provide insight into biological neural systems, but this argument is weakened by the existence of predictive coding equivalents.

To be fair, there were 30 new papers published:

The overview paper appears to be this one:

Yes, it's inspired a lot of investigations and discussions, which was exactly its purpose. See also: 'solutions' to the Fermi Paradox.

At least in mathematics, after each video, they have a fairly sophisticated set of tests that are quick to pass if you’ve understood the concept, or that adapt in difficulty to your level of understanding and attempt to fill in any gaps. It’s quite impressive. Kids can definitely use it to catch up or work ahead on their own if they are interested.

You don’t plan your life around lottery windfalls. There’s no structural change.

Yes, these ‘tests’ are documenting how people respond to a lottery windfall. They have nothing to do with UBI.

Is finding the right neurons just luck? Does the person somehow adapt to the interface?

tl;dr: it is a deliberate consequence of the NYC tax code to encourage real estate development.

> if the position involves performing, recording videos, or pitching to people

I don't know about everyone else, but the last year working from home my life has been an avalanche of video calls. Not infrequently, there's a 60 second pitch that is the most important part of the call.

Premature judgements are the root of all evil.

What do you think of this idea

to crowd-source local inventory logging via virtual stores?

Just replying to encourage you. I think this is a great idea.

If it is settled with a payout, then it has succeeded.

The only mitigating factor is Khan Academy and its surrounding ecosystem. A motivated learner with internet access can excel in spite of the school system.
