Certainly the simulation and the action in the real life has some connection. It just a matter how strong the connection is. I guess no one will test it though, at least that is what I hope.

Yeah, like those ads with "I am a doctor and I recommend ...", where the speaker is just an actor.

It is false. There are parts of mathematics that have no known application to physics.

What about, instead of changing the symbols we add text. Or just teach them at school :) Symbols are great for brevity and aesthetics, but they have to be learned to be useful. Oh I got an idea, what about a QR code with all the info included, you just have to scan it ;)

It apparently was useful to someone. It is only BS insofar it can be automated easily.

Ok, so if mouth to mouth does not work, flip over...

Are you not moving the bar higher, from just an example, to now evidence? I am for high standards, it is just dangerous that, in the current culture, they are not the same for all.

If you were to replace the religious belief with gender in his story would your assessment stay the same? You can use this method for example in this quote: "...VPs of research laughing in my face to HR representatives questioning my sanity based on my sincerely held religious beliefs...".

It makes sense as long as it is failproof. But is their tech better than Tesla's? I assume it is not and they will have to severely limit the capabilities of the system. Maybe it will work in traffic jams, simple routes.

Agree 100%. The cookie law is the most visible failure of these regulations. I feel like they should pay me from their own pockets each time I have to click the cookie banner. And by their own pockets I mean the money they got from other sources than taxpayers money. Of course someone will argue that the intentions were good. Often they are! But it does not make it much better.

In short a dedicated employee is the one that is willing to sacrifice a lot for the success of the company.

And assuming employees being equal in capabilities I regard the ones unwilling to take this extra burden as less dedicated than the ones that accept it.

On the other hand the most dedicated will stay. Assuming employees being equal in other respects it will be good for the company in the long run.

> for free, as it was American taxpayers who financed this project.

Just because something was financed by taxpayer money does not mean it should be free. It is definitely not a rule or how things work. Although I am curious what are the disadvantages of making it free, I bet there are some, even if lightweight.

Paint me surprised. I would never guess that it was made in the old ms paint. It does not seem like an adequate tool for the job. Still the effect is great, so maybe I am missing something.

The companies compete for workers, especially highly skilled ones. One company rising wages would push others to react in a similar way assuming they compete for the same talent.

Is it certain that the Pb causes the lower IQ or maybe there is some other factor and poorer people happen to have higher concentration?

Well they live in large part on state money according to VivaFrei.

The price is great, the downside is that you do not know whether the server owner reads your data. The "jobs" run in a Docker container on somebody's machine.

> there appears to be few if any incentives for FSD to improve beyond...

I think it is simply not true. Creating a FSD that could replace human drivers eg in case of trucks is potentially highly lucrative and it would make the economy more efficient.

> without trying to kill people Do you suggest that Tesla is trying to kill people? That would be a ridiculous statement.

I bet the risk of getting injured by Tesla beta version of FSD is miniscule compared to a risk of getting into accident caused by a human driver. I am not for banning either of them. Even when we get to the point where FSD is much safer than drivers I would be against of banning humans.

Why do you discard the possibility that Tesla will save lives in the long term? You may say it is unlikely, but it is not like Musk did not deliver world scale breakthroughs.

Also, regarding the medicine, do you really believe we do not do "unethical" medical testings? I guess it depends on your ethical standards and how high they are :)

But let's get back to cost benefit trade off. COVID vaccines tests were rushed. So it is obviously sometimes worth it.

There is a risk in not taking a risk.

It is faster this way. And anyway it would be impossible to simulate the real world scenarios in the synthetic environment. One of the potential benefits of FSD is that it will save lives, hence should we go slow about it or take a reasonable risk and get it done. There is a risk in going slow too.

It can be useful of you want to use a non standard way to paste stuff, example a right mouse button in putty.

Also the exceptions exist usually for a good reason. Trying to get rid of them without understanding it is a bad idea.

The conclusion is derived from the basic principles. Of course if even more money was given directly to non productive people the prices would increase even faster!

Of course. Printing money inflates its supply. And increasing the demand for products (by providing easy money) without increasing the supply of products (and actually decreasing it by restricting work) will lead to higher prices. It is economics 101 and it was tested by many countries eg Germany before the WW or more recently Venezuela.

And their income will grow on trees.

It will fail unless the government gets easy money from eg producing oil like Emirates. Otherwise someone needs to produce stuff. We already have a big inflation problem that is directly related to policies that rain money on those not working. Let's not make things even worse, please.

Let's cover parkings with PV roofs then we can make use of this energy.

The strict sql_mode is often manually disabled. I bet it is off on most shared hostings.

Why should everyone be paid a lot? Is everyone's labor really worth the same? Should not people be paid according to the value of their input? I am super fine with people charging me little for their services as long as they deem that it makes sense for them and the quality is acceptable. I want people that can provide great value for a fair price to outcompete others, because I want to promote them and hopefully they will develop and make economy a little bit better a little bit more efficient.
