If you want to hear the difference between an audio file recorded at 44.1 and 88.2kHZ, then you need slow the audio playback down. Otherwise, a trained ear cannot physically hear the difference.
I agree, legal immigration is much too difficult and I think that's awful!
Are you proposing a different solution? Or are you content to be a cynic that does nothing?
The USA has never had a leftist president. No president of the USA has ever sought to end capitalism. I think you know that, and that you are alluding to that with quotation marks. But I'm not sure how the person you…
I don't want to speak for European countries. Never lived there, and I think people living there should be responsible for deciding how they navigate such issues. In the USA, where I live, there is not much of an…
Sorry if I'm being dense, but what parts of the USA? Or, I guess more specifically, what is it that you are needing to clear?
Is your point that taller trucks and SUVs provide considerable benefits over shorter ones? What are those benefits? Or do you mean simply that trucks and SUVs, regardless of their height, provide benefits? I don't doubt…
Ugh, ok. Most people do not need one. I'm not sure what the need is for a very tall pickup truck that can also hold a family five? But maybe there is one. Perhaps there is also a need for an excavator that holds a…
Nothing in the article is suggesting that we do not need cars and trucks. It does make a compelling case that specifically large trucks and SUVs are causing preventable deaths. And I certainly find no reason that we…
I think society only works in a high trust society. Well, maybe something exists functionally in low trust society, but it sounds miserable.
Is the concern that we'd marginalize parents and kids? As a parent of little kids, that's a concern that wasn't even on my radar. I had no idea that that was a major concern of people. Wild. I'm not saying it is a…
"Might makes right," you know? I personally control my life by spending almost all of my income, after bills, towards expanding the elaborate tower-defense-like automated weaponry on my plot of land. If I must leave my…
Two points on that: 1. This would require hardware to be affordable by mere mortals. That hardware is not financially beyond our reach yet, but AI is making the cost of buying good computer parts very expensive. The big…
"With luck, it might even help us find methods of reducing their influence and power." If it started to look like that might happen, the ones with influence and power would adjust the AI behavior. They own and control…
I understand that the war between Russia and Ukraine, and now Iran and Israel/USA has set back the slow progress that was being made on nuclear disarmament. I don't understand your claim that nuclear disarmament caused…
Maybe I'm a big idiot, but I think nuclear disarmament is a good geopolitical strategy. The USA has treaties in place pursuing that end on a global scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_disarmament
Yeah, I agree with you! Regulation of that kind of environmental problem works better the more land is covered. National is best, statewide is meaningful (if you are in a geographically large state). Local is better…
A lot less people would be mad, yeah. In my own area, the mere rumor of a data center was enough to galvanize activity and get write-ups in the local news. The focus, generally, was on how it would raise electricity…
Yeah, and it should be. But the USA, at least in this current moment, builds regulations catering to corporations and the rich over people's general needs. So the regulations that are on the table at the national level…
You're starting with an assumption that AI is, on the whole, a net positive for society. A lot of people would disagree.
You should report that to animal control. In most cities, dogs are not allowed to be running loose off leash and "at large." If they are bothering people, it's clearly an infraction.
It's a fictional dialog that gives an account of history from a different viewpoint, from a society that was destroyed by modern civilization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_(Quinn_novel)
I would humor this stance if we were also actively building a new economic arrangement that was not capitalism. Automating away the drudgery or dangerous parts of life seems inherently good. But I would argue that AI…
Ishmael is a good read.
I would call into the question the notion that an "unbiased" news source is even possible. What is that? Even in a hypothetical, entirely objective coverage an event, the news publication must decide whether to give…
