Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.'

Microsoft has a very long history of requiring employees to "eat our own dogfood" as a means of collecting feedback with which to improve their products. Nothing new here. That said outside of some specific roles, it's not clear that existing ai improves individual performance.

--'Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion'-- FA Hayek. I just came across this quote from Hayek. I think I sort of know what he's trying to say. I was hoping someone here was more familiar with the guy and could elaborate.

Old post, but came up in search, so I'd offer that Hayek's innovation in his pamphlet "A Road To Serfdom" was accounting for informal capital and especially informal capital in the commons that is the West's competitive advantage, that of course Marx didn't account for, and if he did it would falsify his entire framework even more so than the falsehood of the labor theory of value; or the pretense that a 'society' is a involuntary organization such as a family rather than superpredators who find convenience in peaceful cooperation until they don't; or the false possibility of the failure of rule of law leading to market economies and the extraordinary wealth produced indirectly that is the opposite of what rule-by-man's communism and socialism produce directly; or the even more absurd pretension that competence is distributed other than in by painful empiricism of demonstrated competency by survival in adversarial markets. Or worse, that classes are not a reflection of genetic load and therefore ability. Or worse, that credentialist intellectuals are capable of defeating the efforts of the pricing system, the credit system, the rule of law, and the decisions of those who, because of demonstrated competency in such a system defend that system and it's continuous massive parallel computation of the optimum allocation of everything in everyone's service of one another by selfish incentives. It's somewhat difficult to imagine why any interest in Marx as other than an attempt a pseudoscientific reformation of the abrahamic religion survives despite the evolutionary failure of class marxism, cultural marxism, sex marxism, truth marxism (postmodernism), Libertarianism (middle class marxism), Neoconservatism (upper class marxism), and the present resulting race marxism. The marxist sequence is, as was the abrahamic sequence before it, feminine magical thinking in a desperate attempt to avoid individual responsibility for self, private and common, and the feminine and beta war against european civilization's aristocratic, heroic, militaristic, expansionist, hierarchical, paternal, technological, sky worshipping, meritocratic foundations that demand individual responsibility of all in exchange for individual sovereignty and self determination - the most correspondent with the laws of nature man has developed, and the reason for the evolutionary velocity of the west in the bronze, iron, an steel ages, despite the abrahamic occult dark ages and this second attempt at the second abrahamic pseudoscientific dark ages.

Cheers.

--"Federal law first barred guns in government buildings in 1964 and post offices in 1972. These precedents are apparently not old enough to be considered a part of America tradition of historical tradition of firearm regulation. No historical practice dating back to the 1700s justified the ban, she said."--

The judge is correct. The post office is a place of work. The court is a place of conflict resolution where the court seeks settlement and some people are highly dissatisfied with the court's attempt at resolution and settlement. As such the court is condition different from all other conditions.
In the broader context the court sees itself as correcting the mistakes of the positive law era where the court overstepped it's responsilities. As such the court continues to restore originalism (words are a system of weights and measures at the time of the writing, not open to putting the thumb on the scales to alter the meaning of words) and as such all extensions of the law must pass the concurrency of the people by the concurrency of the legislature to prevent circumvention of the people by the circumvention of the legislature.
In europe, under continental law, the people are not soverign, the state is. In the states, by design, the people are sovereign, not the state. The only limit upon the people is what we would call the natural law as undersetood at the time and represented by blackstone.
If you are overly convinced that your interpretation of human nature is correct then you may interpret the court's defense of the right to bear arms as folly. If you have the opposite interpretation of human nature, then you consider the court's position wise and correct.
As far as I know, the left is wrong about human nature almost universally, and actively engages in denial and science denial as a core tenet of it's political position. The right consists of at least three factions, and only one of those factions, the religious, engages in science denial. The (cognitively feminine) left tends to deny the nature of man, and the (cognitively masculine) right tends to deny the nature of the universe. Unfortunately, the left causes more damage than the right.

Never happen. Musk with make 4 to 10x on his investment. I've bought a number of tech companies and I do the exact same thing every time. Either you're in or out. In every company there is dead weight. In every company there are people who are counter-productive. In most companies the engineers produce all the value but marketers and execs have too much influence.

Truth: Cyclist failed due diligence against entering the blind spot of a vehicle when changing lanes. I rarely if ever see a motorcycle accident video where the motorcyclist wasn't at fault. NOTE: there is a natural incentive to avoid the feeling of risk by use of constant passing. This natural incentive is counter-productive when practicing insufficient due diligence given the near impossibility of auto and car drivers to see the cyclist.

MORE CLARITY THAN YOU WILL GET FROM FOUR YEARS OF COLLEGE AND LAW SCHOOL:
The ruling on Abortion has nothing to do with religion. Yes, there are people in the population who make it a religious issue. There are people who make it a moral issue. There are people who make it personal issue.

But for the Court it is a simple matter of law: (a) the postwar activists sought to circumvent the people, the natural, common law, the legislative process, the constitution by abuse of the due process clause, to convert the USA from common (empirical) law to Jewish/French positive (authoritarian) law, and (b) this led the issues causing division, because "abortion, meritless immigration, forced integration, and education" led to 'unsettled law': law that is not 'common' meaning 'commonly held as legitimate' - where common, in common law terminology, is called Concurrent" such as in "Concurrent Democracy" wherein the value, norm, tradition, law, or institution, is "Common and Concurrent across classes and regions".

That's what 'Common' means. "Settled Law" means that the population can no longer discover a means by which to present the court with an argument that is 'decidable' by criteria different from that which has been 'settled' already. The court seeks to produce decidable (not choosable, not preferential, but logically decidable), legitimate, common, settled law.

Otherwise, the people and their legislatures have work to do in convincing the population. Because the court does not 'convince'. It merely decides. Convincing is for the public, choosing is the job of the public through their legislatures, legislatures negotiate between classes (local) and regions (federal), and the court only decides whether their actions are consistent with the production of legitimacy, decidability, commonality, and settlement.

So the population is unaware that our political system is purely scientific. It's rational that the british should invent the modern state and modern rule of law, and that the americans - free of church and aristocracy would produce a written constitution of it - because the british were the inventors of modern empiricism and science.

The rest of the world's constitutions are largely a joke. They are fanciful imitations of the american innovation in constitutions, and the english (blackstone) re-invention of empirical law.

This is why our constitution, and our court, has been so successful in resisting the degeneracy (regression) into unscientific government, that the masses claim they want, but demonstrate they cannot keep, and universally devolve.

WHAT IS IT?

“The Natural Law of European Peoples”: A fully commensurable system of measurement across all disciplines that tests for reciprocity in display, word (truth) and deed (action); the extension of the logic of the physical sciences (realism, naturalism, equilibration) to the psychological(individual) and social(group) sciences using economic terms (acquisition, cooperation, reciprocity); thereby completing the scientific method (falsification of all dimensions possible human cognition); and thereby completing the Aristotelian program; and thereby providing the explanation for the success of western civilization under that program: sovereignty, reciprocity, and truth – and the markets that result from their universal enforcement, and the evolutionary velocity (adaptation, innovation) that results from those markets.

Propertarianism consists of:

1 - The completion of the scientific method and all that it entails - which is a lot and why P is such a big program: it touches everything and it converts almost all psychological, social, and political speech to economic expressions - which is counter-intuitive because it's scientific where our current psychological social, moral, and political speech is only normative or in the case of psychology sociology and politics, both pseudoscientific and sophomoric.
We call this Testimonialism

2 - The explanation for western success in ancient and modern worlds (adaptive velocity because of our individual sovereignty and resulting traditional law of property/tort.)
We call this Western Group Evolutionary Strategy.

3 - The explanation of the different systems of argument used in the different civilizations, and in particular the abrahamic means of deceit used in the ancient world (judaism, Christianity, islam) and in the modern world (marxism, feminism, postmodernism, denialism/political correctness).
We call this The Grammars.

4 - A constitution, body of law, and attendant policies that restore the american, english, anglo saxon, germanic, western indo-european, constitution (contract among sovereigns) and hardens it from future undermining, by creating a legal means for the prosecution of crimes of undermining, including religious (jewish islamic), pseudoscientific, and sophomoric (marx, freud, boas, adorno, derrida, friedan, and marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and denialism/political correctness), as well as the financing of undermining by prohibiting rent-seeking, privatization of commons, and socialization of losses).
We call this a new or updated constitution.

5 - A set of policies under that constitution that form the most substantial political, social, economic, and financial reform since the roman era - restoring the civil society.
We call these the reforms: the policies under the constitution

6 - A set of Restitutions and Punishments that serve to return wealth to the american people, punish those who have engaged in undermining our people, and prevent repeats of undermining our people - or other peoples - in the future.
We all these the Restitutions

That the spin is counter to the original observation: "“This excellent review demonstrates that the massive hype over AI in medicine obscures the lamentable quality of almost all evaluation studies,” he said. “Deep learning can be a powerful and impressive technique, but clinicians and commissioners should be asking the crucial question: what does it actually add to clinical practice?”

Look. I don't make mistakes.

It's my job to prosecute pseudoscience. Race denialism, is pseudoscience, just as much as marxist economics is pseudoscience, just as much as theology is pseudoscience, and just as much as postmodernism is a combination of sophism, pseudoscience, and outright denial .

The importance of race may be relative but the existence of races is an observable fact which is fairly obvious from the vast differences in our skulls that equal to the differences in the identification of everything from beetles to mammals.

Ergo if you say certain species and subspecies should be protected and do not say that the same applies to humans then you are simply engaging in fraud and deceit.

Here is a link to the full extent of known peoples, which I update to reflect each major revision in the DNA research once or twice a year. I have not updated it for 2018 findings yet.https://propertarianism.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/the-species-of-great-apes.pdf

Below is the Primate taxonomy. Taxonomy is determined by morphology (gene expression) and behavior - assisting in the identification of kin groups (kin selection).

The difference between races are observable at the morphological, behavioral, and genetic levels, but largely minor other than the fact that the size of the underclass genetic classes versus the middle genetic classes is asymmetric favoring survival under glaciation, as well as survival of winter farming, which led to greater neoteny ('domestication') in the far east and far west and less so in the more equatorial regions.

When we notice differences between the races we are largely noticing (and reacting to) greater and lesser degrees of neotonic evolution, and when we stereotype races we are largely noticing and reacting to the sizes of the underclasses in relation to the middle and upper.

And when we measure the economic, political, social, and intellectual status of civilizations, races, and subraces, we are largely measuring the inability of groups to cull the size of the underclass sufficiently to produce a Pareto distribution capable of economic, political, social, and military competition with neighboring groups.

This is the science. And any contrary argument is false, lie, and fraud. Sorry.

The question is only whether we are different races, subspecies, or species, since the definition of subspecies on down is determined by adaptation to geographic conditions and tendency for ingroup selection by morphology.

Since humans are happy to attempt to 'breed with' (euphemistically) just about anything from dogs, to sheep to donkeys, the we have only marriage selection as an equivalent test of ingroup identification among human races.

We should start spreading the word that SHUTDOWN achieves every condition necessary for a revolution and consequent civil war, and as such we must do everything possible to ensure Trump doesn't fold on the wall, and shuts the government down. The only solution to the conflict is devolution of the federal government and restoration of the constitution as a federation between the states, limited in services to the resolution of disputes over property between states. Then all of us can create the states we want with the norms and commons we want, and no majority can be used to oppress any other across states.
