I liked the distinction between "done" and ["ongoing"] with devices, although the end of the article pivots away from minimalism which for me kind of is the solution some people are looking for
We're basically looking to replace the infinite scroll with a finite scroll or at least milestones on the scroll
Also for some things, I wonder if the solution is giant batteries or whatever equivalent might exist - from a phone that needs to be charged every day to a block that needs to be charged weekly (!) (or at a longer time interval?!) - I feel like this could make thinsg feel "done longer" anyway...
Like you touched on, they're just trying to get you to make a small commitment to being in their walled garden and then they add on a bunch of other things
Well again, a lot identifying as Catholic do not believe "Leo" is Catholic or a pope, because this statement is contrary to Catholic teaching:
> "Jesus is the King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war" [Leo] said on Palm Sunday at the start of Holy Week.
Maybe it's out of context or a misquote but Catholics believe war can be justified (for example like the Crusades) and have developed a "just war theory" that details criteria on when war can be justified. Such wars follow from the right to individual self-defense, applied to the collective level of a government / State.
The other quote seems to say as much:
> McElroy, the author of a doctoral thesis on moral norms in US foreign policy, does not believe the war in Iran complies with Catholic teaching on a “just war,” which sets out criteria for a morally justified conflict.
It may be the case that certain wars or military conflicts do not fit just war criteria. We would expect a Catholic pope to say that then instead of "Leo's" confusing quote above.
(To be sure, Jesus does encourage peacemaking; war is thought to be a last resort for resolving conflict after peaceful means have been exhausted)
It reads like people are almost purposefully misinterpreting what he said to give themselves a basis to disagree.
This is what drives people on Twitter to write incredibly defensive posts that attempt to address every possible misinterpretation and criticism.
That type of writing is useless, because motivated people will still search for a new angle of disagreement, and the impact of the message is diluted by the time spent addressing the criticisms. Can you imagine how bland this would have been if he started it with an explanation of Catholic just war theory and a list of reasons why this war doesn’t qualify
In fairness, it's not necessarily a great idea to have as a law as it prevents startups from creating "unrepairable" alternatives on the way towarda a more sustainable repairable future product
The ideal is more like a culture of businesses making repairabke products and consumers refusing to buy unrepairable slop
The law requires that manufacturers have repair material availability parity between their authorized shops and independent shops. Basically, they can't unfairly restrict access to repair materials.
A startup isn't prevented from making whatever "unrepairable" alternative it wants. In fact, if it has no repair operation of its own, it's not required by the law to do anything at all. Most startups fall in that category.
> The ideal is more like a culture of businesses making repairabke products and consumers refusing to buy unrepairable slop
Past few decades have demonstrated that this ideal doesn't work. That's why we have laws. I've never understood why the HN crowd is so averse to forcing companies to account for the common good. It's proven to work.
You can imitate what I say, sure, but that doesn't make it true. MAGA complaining about the fascist left is not equal to the left justifiably and correctly pointing out the fascism of the right in the US today.
> HN crowd is so averse to forcing companies to account for the common good
HN is a quite economically libertarian place and it is full of "ashamed billionaires" and founders who yearn for creating companies that will fuck their customers over. There are many engineers who also think the same and think themselves as business-aware.
Rule of law and strong consumer protection is fundamentally against to contemporary startup mindset that prioritizes monopolization over everything else and rent seeking behavior.
> This sounds like FUD to get people to abandon one of our strongest cognitive enhancing toolsof all time
AI's existence is like the mental equivalent of a heavy weighted barbell that also happens to be edible and tastes delicious. You could use it in a way to get in great shape, you could also use it in a way where you get type 2 diabetes.
It is up to you and your own experiences to decide how that is likely to go for most people.
Exactly... I mean the article is "tautological nonsense". Misuse a hammer and you hit your hand, use it well and you drive nails quicker. That's why I just dismiss these posts as FUD from the rich who want people to turn in their hammers so they can move along quicker with less competition.
It’s a report on what looks a very well-researched study. You may not like the results, but calling it nonsense is ridiculous. Did you even read the article?
I’ve just gone through 3 separate papers on the cognitive impact on GenAI, and the points being raised are far more nuanced than what you are assuming them to be.
I mean, you could read the papers themselves, they aren’t inimical to your position by nature.
For example, one of the more salient results is that the more confident you are in AI, the less likely you are to check the output.
When a new invention arrives on the scene, its properties need to be mapped.
Nope, its a well-researched article which shows its sources and qualifies its conclusions. You may not like the conclusions, but that doesn't make it FUD.
Step 2) have a frontier AI model summarize the article
Step 3) find any 'bullshit' that it comes up with
Step 4) do it 5 more times in a row because obviously the non-determinism will make it say something different each time and it should bs you at least once since it's simply a bs machine anyways
