Much easier to have a reserve of X, if X can be put in a warehouse and transported later.

After reading comments here, I think that US has plenty of cheap housing… but… cheap housing is in places where people don’t want to live. (Demand is low, price is low)

If you actually plan to use your own money to build a reserve of housing, better double-tripple check if anybodyz will want to live there.

Is bearing a lot load here.

It is a press release with a goal to create hype.

I.e. it has no relation to “facts”

… unless they would also share underlying numbers (e.g. cost/profit per customer, and why they think some things will increase)

We might design organic brain extensions, so people just become smarter, making LLMs obsolete. (Brain-Bluetooth interface for additional cost)

Track record is not relevant if it is a prediction with all the arguments laid out in the open.

Which is our situation closer to?

Different order of magnitude effort spent during XZ attack.

But when I stop, and think slower, and more rationally:

That bully is a human being who will grow up and he will be a neighbour to somebody (some will die, some will go to prisons, but most of them will be somebodies neibhours).

If we show him only more and more cruelty, he will be a terrible neighbour to somebody (so indirectly, the system made that somebodies life worse).

One anecdote of creative solutioning: to reduce vadalisations of waste bins in the village, teacher somehow convinced(maybe by promising bad grade if they don’t) several bully’ish kids to make baskets, to be used as waste bins.

Idea was that makers will feel some ownership for it, so they won’t damage it later and maybe even prevent lower ranking bullies as well.

But I think it is interesting and useful to detach from that specific label with all connotations, and treat it for a moment as just regular english phrase.

So we can analyse the wider pattern, see why it is deemed flawed, whether it is a binary choice or a spectrum.

(Notable thing to frame the analysis: hacker does not attack RSA, hacker will hack certain implementation of SSH server and use heartblead-v2 to sidestep RSA completely)

I would like to disagree on this point.
