If you rephrase this as succinctly as you can you'll end up quoting the Dao de Jing.

The source of that comes from somewhere too, as it's still a human made construction. It seems like being "good" is simply advantageous to us as a species, hence why it is in all religions.

US post colonial empire method was to create markets overseas, China was watching and learning!

I use vim a lot but not on the shell

A mistake 3 words earlier?

meta-bbbd (not as elegant, I admit)

delete the whole thing?

ctrl-ak (this is even quicker than vim, especially if capslock is mapped to ctrl)

the control-based emacs movements work system-wide on macos btw. I am using ctrl-p and ctrl-n to go up and down lines, ctrl-a and ctrl-e to go to beginning and end of lines while writing this comment in by browser (which has vimium extension)

Sometimes I wish vim just had full emacs bindings while in insert mode. But I don't like to mess with defaults too much.

I keep thinking I should give vim readline a try though, so maybe today. Thanks for the comment.

> "delete the whole thing?"

With vi (after running "set -o vi"): <esc>kC

(k to move up back one position in history. C to "change" to the end of the line.)

This is equivalent to doing the following with "set -o emacs": <ctrl>pu

Regardless, use what you're comfortable with or can incrementally add to your muscle memory.

Maybe not considered a solution, but: print.

Nah, in my opinion the original title is art. That line is a whopper though.

Oh the rest of the title is great. But if it was me I don’t think I could avoid putting the five on the front of the number.

This is right up there with those articles from Wired or whoever about why you shouldn’t give out your email, that when you open them there’s a prompt to subscribe to their email list.

I'm worried that China will build said killing machines only because they see that we are and feel the need to be prepared.

If you compare how many countries China has attacked or invaded with how many the United States has attacked or invaded, it paints a clear picture of whom to fear.

This.

Everyone will do this, because everyone will believe that everyone will do this.

Even worse, there really is no guarantee that the great powers will create the best terminators. Everyone talks about China and the US. (And we should.) At the same time however, we should all keep in mind that nations from India and Indonesia, to North and South Korea will not be simply sitting on their hands while the US and China forge ahead.

A future where 4 million dollar American or Chinese terminators are easily overwhelmed by thousands and thousands of 5 dollar Indian autonomous devices is not at all outside the realm of future possibilities.

That's what makes it all so concerning. We can kind of see where it leads in terms of enhanced capability potential for non-state actors, but we can't really see a way to avoid that future.

Game theory in action

All the more reason for them to start finding alternatives ASAP, at least as a backup. Those with knowledge and skill should help them.

This will not augment memory the way glasses do for sight, this will replace memory the way a wheelchair replaces legs.

So do you think disabled people deserve to participate in society or not?

Yes but able bodied people shouldnt decide to use a wheelchair until their legs attrophy and become useless.

I understand the rationale, but don’t you see how this idea contradicts autonomy of decisions for able-minded people? Such good intentions tend to be a pavement on roads to bad places.

I’d rather suggest to inform about all the potential benefits and drawbacks, but leave decisions with the individual.

Especially given that it’s not something irreversibly permanent.

I'd agree but we're closer to getting forced into the chair than making a decision that's right for us

Thinking about the power and reach of political ads served by social media companies over the past 10 years, this is gonna be a whole nother bucket of worms.
