That's to say, farms basically convert water to food and CO2 to O2. I'd say this is the water well spent.

What's disturbing about 16yo marrying 20yo is that in most cases the girl just moves from abusive household to another, now with additional risk of pregnancy (read: another 2 year of total dependence on the sole provider)

18yo is a good cut off not because everyone is suddenly smarter and know what's good and bad, but because by that age people have the ability to leave bad and go live on their own.

I don't believe that was mentioned in the article in any way. Could you share your reasoning there?

If I sold a button that hacks random sites as a fidget toy, people pressing the button wouldn't be held liable — I would.

You shouldn't be held liable, OpenAI should

The only solution I can come up with is some form of certification or paid code review from a third party. I know that at least for Windows prior to 7 Microsoft actually allowed some parties to come in and check the code/checksum on an air-gaped computer. We somehow moved to "trust more" in the last decade, and now we can trust nobody

Even rootless docker usually pierce through that. Might be some setting in a podman, thought, never really worked with that.

You can add a bit of kefir to a potato-based salad, and it will remain a salad. But at one point it will actually turn into a cold kefir soup, which is a thing that exists.

Personally, I think it's the floating. As soon as first ingredient becomes buoyant (even partially), it's a soup.

(You might think the last point is the most naive one, but in my experience the economic growth was the only thing that actually worked)

Hopelessness has it's own self-fulfillment. In order to change a thing you have to wish for something, and if you can't imagine a better future, then you can't get one

Terrorist groups are more traditionally defined as an organized groups that use terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals.

noblogs.org never used such tactics nor supported them.

If we call anyone a terrorist, if they have at least one view similar to those who did terrorist acts, we only need 2 quite specific terrorist acts to cover all earths population.

Even if it got a bit hot – like it does in mine, that has less volumetric heat capacity — simple floor scrub lowers temperature. Evaporating water is just a very good at that, and floor is a big area.

If we take a house made of paper and place it in a place with no trees and a lot of asphalt, I believe that AC could become a necessity. No amount of evaporating water could help you to fight heat rising from the road.

But I much prefer better houses and city planning

So if we are concerned with the AGI suffering, then we don't need to determine consciousness at all. We just need to prove that they don't have suffering capabilities. Which is a way easier question.

So, about 4-8 cents, for 30$/hour if we talk about grocery store.

Restaurant might take more time to process cash, but pays lower salary.

I do not think it's a higher cost than current credit card fees

But I still could calculate and write an electrical design project and draw all necessary plans and schemes without touching PC once – if I have a ruler, few pens and enough time (I would have to reference standards, but I did have most standards in print version)

I doubt your metaphor really fit. Was manufacturing ever an engineer job?

Mostly because they already are responsible for systematizing documents that are needed to recognize us as citizens, land or car owners, etc.

Some laid back countries might allow companies to take and manage that function, but I don't think most of them would. Especially not in current landscape where people heard "you are the product" from all tech companies for the last 10 or so years.

I feel like the existence of good writing is also not impossible but not very likely, and so of course LLM can only write mediocrity, even when taught only on great writing.

(It was 2 specific species out of 200, and I hope that not mentioning which part of the plant she ingested would deter people from trying. The plant is also slightly poisonous, could weaken your kidneys. Weak kidneys no fun)

I think "every culture has a dragon" is kinda misleading.

"Every culture has a creature that got translated as a dragon" seems closer to the truth. The creatures themselves have a great variety between them.

Buying stuff from truly anonymous provider isn't possible. From a legal standpoint you basically transfer money to them for fun. Since, you know, can't enter any agreement with unknown entity.
