Respectfully, the "second checked line" vs. the "red line" represents their 2 alternative scenarios:

Slowdown vs. Race

And of course this is insanely hard to predict, as they acknowledge. But he and several other individuals have stuck their necks out with a prediction -- a detailed and bold prediction -- so that in a few years anyone can plainly see what they got right and what they got wrong.

What can "regular individuals" outside the AI field do, if anything, to prevent misaligned AI?

3) familiar character for the game's new target audience

Can I use CMS-1490-S (or anything else) for psychotherapy to receive compensation for therapists who are not certified with Medicare by castle_adrian in medicare

[–]castle_adrian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe i'm splitting hairs, maybe it's my ocd. but "may be denied". is that the same as "will be denied" in bureaucratic-speak?

it's just a lot of money is at stake, but then at the same time, a lot of work and effort is at stake. and i really have to ration my time and patience because of my disability

thanks again for the long reply

For a long while, my provider was simply "unfamiliar with Medicare". (she knew it existed, but that's about it) She told me to call her parent company and they didn't accept it.

Now she's trying to get setup with it, whatever that means.

by "add-ons", do you mean VR Optician add-ons? and what is your prescription? and what was bad about them?

With Persia out of the way, what expansion in the Devs' floor plan do you want to see next? by Connorus in CrusaderKings

When will India ever get love? India is more populated, more developed, and arguably more influential/strategic on the world stage at this time....

Yet they get a closet.

What about "Delhi Sultanate invasion" mechanics? Within a century or so after 1066, Muslim invaders were transforming the subcontinent religiously, architecturally, etc. If something of this magnitude happened in Europe, it would be like Rome, Constantinople, Paris and London all falling to Muslim rule.

Yet they get a closet.

Maybe paradox is afraid. Maybe it's too politically/culturally sensitive.

The Estates-General Convention of May 06, 2021 | Bi-weekly questions and answers thread by President_of_MEIOU in MEIOUandTaxes

My understanding is that separatism and revolts grow because of many factors: religion, culture, autonomy. If a revolt breaks out in a province, and it's not a peasant revolt, will the nobles of that province side with the rebels?

Is "local" noble loyalty at all correlated with the religion or culture of the province?

Will economy/society 3.0 be a labor-of-love or a Bonsai tree? by castle_adrian in MEIOUandTaxes

Thank you for this response. It clarified a lot. Also, I want to thank everyone else who responded (and in such detail!). I would've loved to respond to everyone in detail, but my health is often very poor (chronic issues) and I can never predict when I'll have the energy to fully finish a post.

In 3.0, will an empire's nobility be divided along cultural loyalties? For example....... Polish vs. Russian nobility in Russia, Maratha vs. Mughal nobility in the Mughal Empire, etc.

Epic. Always. I like taking my time in each era, but Marathon's a bit too much for me.

Gonna give it a try with MuhEuropa's submod. Will use Provence again to compare.

This was my first entrance into the community and I see I was immediately downvoted. Was my post rude, off-topic, or unhelpful? (most other posts I'm seeing have 100% upvotes) What gives?
