I'm definitely "America bad", and have observed the Russian government as absolute trash. I am far from alone on this viewpoint.


My experience with flight sim, boxing, golfing, and building games feels a lot better with any sort of VR headset. There is also a weird thing where building stuff in VR taps into some primordial primate urge to build much moreso than other gaming media. I've built some structural stuff in real life and the sense of satisfaction of building in VR is nearly identical, which is an absolute trip.


Labor rights degraded quite a bit between boomers and millennials. Hell, it has degraded between Millennials and gen z! Our current economic model is not sustainable. It is a cancer.


How have they degraded, exactly? Be extremely specific, I want to know what rights you have lost from, lets start with the one president you want to point to as the root of all evil at 1981, to now.


yeah, because you need a lot of labour rights to make a living ... a person with skills and good work ethic will always find work, with or without "rights"


Always find work, sure, but work conditions are a big deal.

What ended child labor in (most) of the west? What gave us the weekend? What gave us paid time off? Blood. People had to sacrifice their lives. We have to actively fight for better working conditions.


not much relevant to me, and perhaps a lot of other people. I run my own business so no paid time off. Also, if needed I work weekends too - no issue.


Now the hard popup asking about cookies on that page is very ironic!


Aren't there a ton of data science people here on HN? I feel like that would cause a ton of bias and skew away from the general population.


Where is your data for these claims?

Here is something you mind find enlightening: https://nintil.com/the-soviet-union-food/


I think when Bard reaches full integration with Google products and it is fully unleashed upon android phones with voice control, it will be a watershed moment.


>How will they monetize this

Public LLMs like Bard generate massive amounts of marketing data.


Remember that mentions on Twitter and tags on Facebook are called upon with @. I think the masses are quite ready indeed.


>one of the things I most appreciate about Sabine Hossenfelder (a physicist) is that she highlights the limits of knowledge in her (and adjacent) fields.

I suppose you missed her recent video about economics? Her content is getting more and more clickbaitey by the day. Some really half-baked data creeping into her videos.


I don't follow Hossenfelder that closely, so I haven't seen any of her videos on economics. I have seen her walk back some of her misunderstanding around global warming, however.

Celebrating someone's achievements in a specific domain is not giving them carte blanche across the board. Personally, I think it more productive to celebrate someone's successes while lamenting their failures. If one thinks that mediocrity is the norm (which it is, by definition), then transcending it, even briefly, it something to celebrate and use as inspiration, even while acknowledging that all individuals have flaws (to some degree).


It really is sad indeed. You die a hero (stop posting videos once you’ve exhausted your expertise) or live long enough to become a villain indeed.
