I can only imagine what it would be without that! I was told once that in said country (and probably other lands) police tolerates some kind of small petty crimes so that things do not escalate to bigger things

And water evaporation… and using land makes the land unusable for other purposes… But your comment raises a good question. What are we looking for? The best solution or the cheapest solution?, is the chepeast solution the best?

It reminds me of Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game. At the end, after a whole chain of perfectly intelligible social behavior produces a killing, the result is accepted as an “accident.” One of the characters dryly remarks: “A new definition of the word accident.”

The interesting point isn’t that “accident” is an excuse for individual responsibility. It’s almost the reverse: accident has become an accepted output of the social machinery. Everyone behaves according to reasons, incentives and rules that make sense locally, yet the aggregate produces an outcome that nobody quite chose.

On my last go at making my own rag i still got better results by collecting the data and uploading to a project in open(butclosed)ai. My own rag, used by an agent was giving poorer results, and even the agent prefered (derailed)to not use it and look for the info itself rather than using the rag

It would be interesting to probe the political orientation of the people who understand and those who don’t and see if there is some correlation there.

There will be errors if you try to regulate, but the idea is good, you profit packing in x, you pay. There is a chnce they het it right eventually, hopefully before all the small actors disappear. What is the alternative really. Other parts of the planet is just the big corporations that lobby and decide. People is just left with the pollution

Very tempted to keep collecting e-trash! After installing linux on old machines, downloading docs, wikipedia and gutemberg project i just need to make some kind of faraday cage for them.

Love seing all the introspection in the comments. There is a general awareness on personal struggles much higher than before. I almost never heard my parents talking about this subjects.

Isn’t it better to find out that a lot of corporate work may not have much intrinsic meaning now, rather than just before you die? At least then you get a chance to do something about it.

It seems to me these changes are much more daunting if you live in a country where no job means no health insurance, and where the pay gap between skilled and unskilled work is huge. That makes an existential question about work into a very material one.
