You can also readily find occasional videos of Steve Jobs throwing malfunctioning devices across the stage.

And yet, I have to dig my way through pages upon pages of AI trash sites for many Google queries. Somehow THOSE don’t seem to have a problem getting indexed (Maybe they run a sufficient number of ads?).

Given none of the wikis pointed to in the article have ads, I'd say you're right.

I wonder whether a “Ig Nobel Price Winner” sticker would provide marketing benefits for an urinal.

Redirection of flow is greater than of more.

Exactly. It’s a collective action problem — every car dropping off a kid incrementally endangers the kids walking to school, so if there is no enforcement whatsoever, we’d end up with everybody driving, and a situation worse than in US schools (because Swiss schools were largely not constructed with drop off zones in mind, and retrofitting them would be difficult with our land use patterns).

Yes, I’m Swiss and walked to school starting around 5. I was hit by a car (due to bad judgment on my part) on the way back from school at 6, though, so it’s not all roses.

I also pulled one of my sons twice from the same pond around that age, so I would not necessarily be super comfortable trusting them around those attractive nuisances, even though I’m on board with the “let them walk to school” policy. It’s a difficult balancing act.

Norwegian here.

I rescued a girl one year older than me from a small stream/brook that had grown a bit larger due to rainwater when I was 7 years old.

Also walked to/from school alone from when I was 6 years old. I remember parents were allowed to walk us to school the first week, and then we were supposed to get there on our own. About 1km walk.

I'm very, very pro "let them walk to school on their own", and my daughter has walked to school on her own since she was 6 or 7.

That might be the most embarrassing implication for OpenAI out of the whole affair: That OpenAI, supposedly one of the vanguards in AI, saw a need to appropriate intellectual property of Apple, supposedly a complete laggard in that field.

Were they trying to get Apple's AI IP? I haven't followed that closely, but it seems like a lot of it has been around hardware design, not AI.

it doesn't seem like they want apple's ai secrets, they want apple's electrical engineering secrets for building physical devices

That’s 1.1% of ~1.1-1.2B Android phones sold per year. I dont’t know how long the average GrapheneOS user holds on to their device, but if 25% of them per year buy a new phone (rather than upcycling a used one or using their previous phone another year), that would amount to about 1% of Google’s annual sales at best.

Steve Jobs seems to have connected having a vision in the metaphorical way you describe with his youthful experimentation with LSD.

That does not seem to stop people from taking Ayahuasca, which seems to very commonly make people sick.

It stops the uncountably large majority of people from doing it. Like more then 99.9% of people.

Most people don't even know about it or have the means to access it as its either not available or not legal in their jurisdiction so not accurate. About 45% of the adults drink. How much lower would that percentage be if alcohol was little known and subjected to the same regulations psychedelics are under?

That it's not legal in their jurisdiction doesn't stop other drugs. Hallucinogenic drugs just don't catch on. They have periodic fads, but even then they're a fringe phenomenon compared to other illegal drugs.

It's the best argument to legalize them if you ask me. It's clearly a self-limiting problem - I think it's simply because of unpleasant experiences, but I suppose it's also possible that the life-changing experiences make them not need the drugs anymore.

I’m in the process of learning Sütterlin / Kurrent for genealogical purposes. While Fraktur is easy to learn, Kurrent is just horrible, even though the textbook I used, written in 1995, still declares it a superior handwriting cruelly banned by the Nazis.
