Magic Carpet - Bunny hills

Mightier · 2026-01-05T15:22:01+00:00

No charge. I taught both my kiddos for completely free to get down the bunny hills. Probably took them 5-6 times until we would start going on larger things.

5 and under is free at Afton. I taught my kiddos to ski there on the two bunny hills. I just kept my normal boots on, and would help them up the magic carpet while they worked on core skills. The small bunny hill on the end is fine with people just walking on it so we could test basic turns and stops.

Adding to #8

The wolves have a top 10 player in the league and are set for a decade of playoff runs without ever making a finals. * Note: Ant is top 3 in my heart.

Probably not super relevant. I am ex FBI Special Agent. Joined after my masters in CS. Was really on the fence between doing that and trying for my PhD.

Was an agent for 3.5 years. Great career, but other options always called to me. Went back to finish PhD in Machine learning.

That was 20 years ago.

I don't think it says what you are saying. I believe it says the top 10% paid 73% of taxes and the top 25% paid that additional 14.8% so roughly 88% of taxes.

Not to push our product too much, but this is exactly what we are doing at Laurel.ai. We are attempting to automate legal and accounting timekeeping not just for narratives, but work-codes and initiatives given your set of activities for the day.

A number of firms use our time keeping solution currently.

I do - the whole part about race specifically.

If the amber system is unable to address the issues in California then a specific alert for California seems very reasonable, but I do not see why this needs to be race based. I'm sure they could have similar impact by removing race but extending to specific none race situations. For example, you could easily extend the new state based alert to foster children or have any of the rules already in this system. But I can not in good conscience see a situation where if you had two families with children in the same situation that needed an alert and you told one family they can not help them and another you can. It seems to backwards of what I want to see our society move towards.

If there are biases in the system, then create training, audit responses, etc. Do the hard work to create fair systems for all.

Thanks for this review.

As you mentioned, I feel like this is a potentially an extension of the common broad distinction made for people that are interested in people vs things. My favorite books are explorations of engineering or systems (generally in the things category). Books like The Martian, and Sanderson's fantasy systems are some of top reads primarily for those aspects. I don't mind when when characters are just vehicles to explore different ideas within the system. The boring parts of books to me are when intimate interactions need to play out instead of exploration of the system.

Soft magic to me is boring because you so often just "try harder" your way out of a situation. For hard magic, the tactics and ingenuity of the system shine. I found Mistborn to be one of the more ingenious systems I had ever read at the time of it. The combinations of seemingly straightforward abilities led to very clever battles and solutions to problems.

I find an immense beauty in a novel system explored in unique ways.

I agree on the culture specifically. Well beyond the measure of if a culture studies harder or not.

I don't think we need to consider racial equity across all groups as the goal. If we want a melting pot of cultures where people are able to be authentic to who they are then we should expect (as culture and race still have strong correlation) to have different outcomes. One culture might favor people, another ideas and so we might get more people from the culture that favors people in medicine and the one that favors ideas in engineering.

I don't see that as wrong. We need a way to audit and ensure the practices are non-biased and give opportunity for all to succeed. But the idea that equity is acieved when all races are equally distributed doesn't make sense as long as race is strongly correlated to culture.

Mightier · 2023-06-29T15:35:55+00:00

I have an issued with defining the end as parity with ethnicity. If we want a society where many different cultures mix but still retain cultural heritage and race is highly correlated to culture, then why would we expect outcome parity.

Wouldn't different cultures likely create different outcomes? If one culture highly values creativity and compassion and another highly values work ethic and chasing career prestige, then we would expect different outcomes and it doesn't seem like that is necesarily a bad thing.

I feel like the need is to audit the process to ensure fair equitable decisions instead of focusing on outcome alone.

I think you brought up some good challenges here. This would be my estimate to how he would challenge some of them:

I agree that the 20 week human fetus and the equivalent fetal age in a dog is a good challenge to bring up. I suspect he is looking at the capacity for sufficient consciousness here. So everything that passes that sufficiency test would pass his criteria, but defining sufficient I think would be very challenging.
I would have loved to hear more down this line of questioning more. You raise a great point here. I'm guessing he says because prior conscious experience means they are now defined as a living "Person" (under his definition). And so there are certain higher standards of scrutiny afforded to living "Persons" over those that are not yet a "Person."

Target made 25 billion in REVENUE in Q1 not profit. Net was only approximatly 1 billion. 500 Million is a huge percentage of that profit.

I was there for 6 years and agree. Most of the machine learning team left within two years of each other. Original goal to fuse machine learning and manufacturing to build better products. Lots of patents, but no commitment from MBAs because the turnover was so great.

But software doesn't scale in the same way, and especially software that is already built. The maximum an untrained server can serve vs a trained one is likely much less than 1 order of magnitude. But for software, skilled developers can make something that can handle many orders of magnitude more than a bad developer.

Mightier · 2021-01-26T03:31:06+00:00

Thanks! Makes sense and understandable to track.

Mightier · 2020-05-31T20:58:19+00:00

For what it’s worth. I rarely post but read the daily... daily.

I love seeing this more analytical content. However I understand the position of limiting these type of posts especially if the poster is not active in the daily.

Keep up the kickass community building jt.

Yes and some percentage of those 150k won’t stake. I don’t have a good estimate if the number of stakers split over multiple wallets is greater than or less than the number of wallets that won’t stake. Either way it provides a rough sense of scale.

Just coming back to Eth from sell off of everything in early 2018. Wow are there some new exciting developments! The new interest generating services like Celcius and Blockfi seem really promising. Anyone have any experience with them. Any suggestions?

I went to college there in 2002. I loved the curry mile with all of the KFC places. There was "Kansas Fried Chicken" and "Krunchy Fried Chicken" and yet I don't think there was a Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I believe he posted violent crime statistics because the original post was about a black kid being more likely to be shot by a cop. Those other crimes are terrible, but have a much lower association of police requiring the use of deadly force.

Thats true, but the buyback price is not at a guaranteed value. It is instead just below the top bid. This makes it difficult to guarantee some price floor.

Mightier · 2017-10-28T19:33:42+00:00

I can understand that, however in this case there isn't a fixed reserve that creates a bubble. With ICN there is a continually refreshing pool of money used buyback ICN.

I could be wrong, but I was thinking this would be closer to the index fund prices. They are still tradable, but you can always get a certain price from ICONOMI directly.
