It might not be the purpose, but it's the effect of laws.

I was under the impression it could do that, I think I build a snapshotting mechanism using this.

Do it once, make it your muscle memory - it's really hard for me to learn things by heart, but even I could do it :), and then you can forget about scp as well

Relinking?

It's also that it's really difficult to find anybody who could build rococo or neoVictorian buildings. And if you do, it's a lot more expensive. So the designs are not built, making it impossible for young people to gain experience building it.

I think it's not a matter of want. The goverment makes the rules, and the rules decide the emergent behavior of people, in companies and elsewhere. Whether their emergent behavior is good or bad, whatever that means, is a result of the way that your particular country selects the goverment. Mine is probably different than your's.

> I expect those people to behave ethically at any given time.

A company is set up and incentivised to maximize a profit function, and that in turn incentivises to promote people which are not impeded by ethical considerations. The hierarchy furthermore ensures that people which would otherwise act ethical, don't, for fear of losing their job. This structure behaves ethical as long as you put ethics in the profit function.

> we should also regulate them to ensure that they do and punish them meaningfully when they fail to

Fully agree, that's what I mean.

I think it's a fundamental difference in philosophy. Does the work exist, and you discover it? Or does it start existing as soon as you think about it? This person seems to subscribe to the latter world view.

IMHO one shouldn't expect a company to have any ethics to achieve a positive outcome for society. This needs to be baked into the rules (taxes, regulation, ...), so the ethical behavior becomes the rational behavior.

And there's certain constraints related to patient's safety which have an impact (i.e. less handovers, longer shifts)

In Austria as well, it's called "Turnus".

> the problem seems pretty clearly to be the impossible goals, which cause them to go crazier and crazier trying to complete them

And if you think about it, humans in coorporations face very similar situations and choose to bypass regulations and guidlines knowingly to fullfill (at least from their POV) impossible constraints (thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal here)

I hate them because I seem to be the only adult that sees the kid kicking out another kid's teeth, or hurting them elsewhere.

> Fifty, maybe a hundred violinists in the entire world do earn a pure living

Coming from Vienna, that can't be right. This city alone breaks that assumption with it's largest 4 orchestras combined.

When cows have phosphorus deficiency, they occasionally eat small birds, rodents, insects, or bones

Of course there's many reasons to make something worse intentionally. Revenge for example.

Thumbs up, let's settle on that translation

Isn't "split the bill" something that the restaurant does?

I though it was Winston Churchill? Anyways, from experience, I think it's true.

> most people are just too poor to afford them

I think a resource consumption based tax model extends very neatly to a UBI model. One could think of as: "this is the basic resource consumption we allow each person" and it automatically generates demand for basic services everyone should be able to afford with their share of resources, while keeping a free market and allowing an economy on top with extra resources. Standard money could still be the means for value exchange, just taxing works differently.

And I think that is a major mistake, has many unwanted side effects, and only works because work supply does not yet exceed demand, so the taxes still keep flowing. But the relationship is beginning to break and I think a resource consumption based model helps with two very current challenges of society.

I'm fully in favor of a social safety net (a proper UBI even), but the tax system should tax what we don't want / keep within bounds, and I think in general we want more automation and more free time. So we should tax resource consumption. Short time, this might turn out the same (i.e. whether to tax agents through electricity consumption or agents directly might not make much of a difference) but I think long term this would align incentives across a few dimensions very well.

To be fair, the source mentions the upside ("Although improving Service accessibility is beneficial [...]")

Seems like bureaucracy was added as a subtle way to introduce rate limits, and AI is challenging that mechanism.

> the cost of building those unique shaped legos explodes with the size of the lego piece required.

The cost of plastic injection molding is almost entirely due to the cost of creating the steel mold. My argument is: with LLMs we are entering a world which makes it cost effective to build many more things from scratch, which is akin to going from building things out of pre-fabricated lego pieces to 3D printing (agreeably not cost effective for everything, but for many things).

We might not even need libraries after all, since APIs, libraries and abstractions in general exist for humans to grasp complexities. Abstractions have their merits, but they have downsides too, and AI might be a way to solve them. The interesting part for me is where that ends, because it's systems all the way down, and even on a higher level abstractions exist to allow humans to make sense of the world. Services, products, companies, political parties, what if in the future we don't need any of it anymore because the abstraction is obsolete?

Simple toolchain which supports trivial lightweight deployment is my go to attribute to select Go in projects.

The signal is the ceiling.

Intuitively I'd say lashing out on an LLM overconstraints it and so worsens the output, therefore the skill to stay calm and neutral is useful for guiding a machine as well. Would be useful to have data on that.
