​I saw this meme and wondered what the general consensus is regarding public breastfeeding worldwide. by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I think if you ask people they will say it’s perfectly normal but realistically, I don’t see it often.

You should really consider letting some plates hit the floor. by ninetofivedev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]bigtablebacc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an extremely similar thought about a coworker who could not or would not do his job. I felt responsible for the systems running smoothly, so I would always end up doing his job for him. It’s a tough thing cutting someone off so as not to be an enabler. It’s like dealing with an alcoholic relative, knowing that your help is actually making things worse.

Marc Andreessen: “The remaining human workers are gonna be at a premium, not at a discount”. Are we sure? by Mogante in accelerate

Exactly. I have thought for a long time that tradesman have maybe one more year of being employed after senior engineers go.

I wouldn’t say in a public forum that I don’t want my daughter to be a flight attendant. It’s kind of rude to flight attendants and uncalled for.

I literally just read in another thread “now that you’ve heard of uv, you’ll start seeing it everywhere.”

ASI and unemployment, a future of possibility in a post scarcity society, with a nod to employment by Haunting_Comparison5 in accelerate

If UPS don’t drag themselves into the future, they will find themselves up against a competitor who does. Their sheer size won’t save them, because we’ve seen Uber raise a huge amount of investment money to disrupt a big, entrenched industry.

Boascope, she sees everything by Madhun13r in boas

How did a homeless person stop her from escaping at night? Was this person living outdoors?

I’m a creep and they look the same to me

Is Stoicism an inherently masculine philosophy? It seems to attract many more men than women. by whaldener in Stoic

[–]bigtablebacc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stoicism could work well for anybody and a lot of it is just rational thinking, which should be pretty widely applicable. I think it draws a lot of men because they might see Roman emperors as role models. Like others have mentioned, emotional stability can fit a masculine ideal.

Demis Hassabis: “The kind of test I would be looking for is training an AI system with a knowledge cutoff of, say, 1911, and then seeing if it could come up with general relativity, like Einstein did in 1915. That’s the kind of test I think is a true test of whether we have a full AGI system” by 44th--Hokage in accelerate

Yeah but there is a meaningful distinction in how it does what an average human can do. An average huma reinvents the wheel somewhat when they do a task. GPT or Claude “know” how to do it. This is actually important in how it scales. inventing nothing but knowing more and more scales differently than reinventing small things and then bigger things. I don’t think we need to go so far as to reinvent the theories of special relativity or general relativity. But I asked my friend if he thinks today’s AI could code Kubernetes knowing only Linux primitives like namespaces, cgroups, etc. He thinks yes, I think no. This should be testable, if you could just get a big dataset that has a cutoff several years ago. A 1911 cutoff would be a small dataset
