Is one of them clickbait headlines?

That has to be parody.

While the postwar boom certainly reduced the US homelessness rate in the 1950s (mainly among the white population), the mentally ill population was kept off the streets by locking them in (generally not very nice) mental institutions (which mostly closed in the '60s and '70s).

"Hey Google, remind me what happens to domestic oil inventories if a ton of tankers suddenly converge on the US and start mass exporting oil?"

It's not true that "the middle class died". What actually happened is that *the middle class stagnated*. The overwhelming majority of the real *growth* of the economy went to the wealthy.

Exactly how much do you think this was an experience of the poor in the 1950s, or, say, the overwhelming majority of black people?

Also, the average US home was under 1k square feet, cares were much simpler, most families had only one, and they had far fewer consumer goods.

We really should be doing compositional and isotopic fingerprinting of Russian crude to detect it in blended streams (at least if the fraction is high enough). The testing needed isn't cheap, but the value of a crude shipment is so high that it's a trivial cost by comparison.

That would require admission that Ukraine can bring important contributions to security -and thus, to NATO - rather than an infantilized colonial people who need to have decisions about their fate made for them by outside powers.

Could it even? From my ignorant position, it sure seems like it's necessarily a mutual learning process between inhibitory and excitory neurons.

The last paragraph is the kicker.

I can only assume that the first step in diffusing a bomb is to dissolve it inside a permeable membrane so that it can then diffuse from an area of high-bomb-concentration into a low-bomb-concentration.

I think the whole term is ill-defined. You can have a work that would win awards if judged blind, and that's "slop", and you can have a crappy photoshop job that looks terrible, and that's not "slop".

It runs counter to the plain meaning of the word "slop".

I run a Shopify store. They Shopify interface even tries to pressure stores into doing that sort of stuff. I hate it and shut it all off.

I mean, yeah, you can get rid of inattention-based ones just by being constantly-attentive, and so forth. But that's only a subset. And the machine is coming with its own downsides that increase its own risks of accidents that a human would never make.

Elon sort of has this notion that "accidents fall into specific key categories that you can just train away", but the problem is that we most commonly get into accidents when things are *not* what we're expecting based on what we're used to. Accidents *are* the edge cases.

The computer *may* become that smart eventually, but the issue is that while they're collecting lots of "driving data" for training, our brains are built up from far more diverse multimodal data and we incorporate that into the process of driving to make decisions at key junctures.

My argument has always been that Elon's argument of "we just have our eyes, so that's all the computer should need" is fundamentally flawed: the computer isn't as smart as a person, so it needs as much sensor data as possible to compensate.

I'm a big fan of high-def radar, personally.

I had to go back and re-read your post to figure out what they found so offensive about it.

Ukraine's airspace is already closed. Add Finland, Estonia and Poland, and the need to stay away from southern and eastern Ukraine, and he's going to have quite a long flight ;)

Unblocking Hormuz requires not military escorts, but a radical hermeneutic shift in how we interpret the meaning of a dry gas pump.
