Ventana posted:True, but months ago that was the house pushing it through, and a lot of people kept saying that it wouldn't get through the Senate unless they rewrote it. I guess they decided against playing tennis with the bill and just swallow the pill. I wonder if this will drive a flip in the Senate come 2020. I try not to post this stuff too much because I don't want it to seem like I'm saying that everything is hopeless or whatever, but I really think the endless parade of posts claiming that the GOP literally can't do anything need to be taken with a huge grain of salt. This is their one shot to get something like this through with a simple majority vote that doesn't require them to blow up the filibuster and they're going to keep banging their heads against this wall until they run out of time or this garbage gets signed into law. It was always extremely optimistic to believe that this would die entirely once it hit the Senate.

I believe Kurt paid a considerable amount of money for child porn and became an administrator of a child porn bulletin board - in the name of Journalism - prior to twitter, so, make of that what you will.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:I've seen skilled tradesman fail pretty spectacularly under the right conditions too. I'd be more worried about advances in modular construction materials offsite that can be created by advanced mechanical processes. I don't think we're that far away from build to order walls assembled entirely at a factory and snapped together like Legos. It's not as visually alien as a giant machine 3D printing the house in place, but it would eliminate a bunch of the custom jiggering that accounts for a bunch of a professional's time. So have I. And yeah, modular plug and play type of stuff... hell, I've heard of that happening in some places already, albeit in larger scale construction. Specifically, a hospital. My first thought to this was "is coal mining overcompensated or is it that other industries are just undercompensated?" So, I drilled down a bit, and I think the answer is roughly "yes". Charts 2 & 3 are particularly informative here; you can view the data for them, and they break out various things that some of the other tables seem to group collectively under "mining". The charts also measure compensation slightly differently; the first uses CPI as its price adjustment, essentially measuring changes in employee purchasing power relative to productivity in their industry, while chart #3 uses an "output deflator" which basically looks to compare changes in compensation based on the products being produced. CPI us used in most of the tables, though. In any case, while mining as a whole looks to have seen compensation rise faster than productivity, that's seems to be on the back of oil & gas extraction, natural gas distribution (which I guess gets its own category) and (if you're using the CPI deflator) metal ore mining. Also probably should be stressed that all the numbers in question here are talking about changes in productivity/compensation rather than the raw numbers. Take the aggregate changes year to year or just go find the overall numbers (rather than the changes) and just about loving everyone is way undercompensated compared to productivity. mynnna fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jun 10, 2017 |

Automation is vastly overhyped. There is so little evidence out there that suggests it kills jobs or worsens inequality. The biggest job disruptions is mainly due to trade.

Yeah, when the apparatus of Government will just bend over backwards to justify Trump at every turn, it doesn't seem like there is a losing move because they'll just make it okay through contrivances and circling the wagons. But then again, I'm actually depressed so what the gently caress, I really do want to be loving wrong and there still is some sort of hope out there.

The Republican value system, in its entirety, is written below. - more money for me - gently caress you. Trump would need to say something against these two points, and it's not going to happen.

We need to shift the focus away from a perceived threat somewhere in the future caused by rapid technological advancements (which those supposed advancements better economic outcomes) and towards the real threat of our living standards: an increase in bargaining power by capitalist owners at the expense of workers. We need policies that can redistribute the power back to working Americans, give them more economic leverage and a fairer share in productivity gains. And yes our trade treaties have done much more harm than whatever impact automation has had on the economy, which is negligible.

Anybody else jealous of the U.K. pretty much rejecting the right wing and seemingly on the precipice of swinging left within a year? I wish we had a snap election because the RNC head was like let's get a supermajority and instead it was a left swing and suddenly the GOP lost its majorities

Saying that trade deals have been bad for workers is not the same as saying that isolationism is the only solution. One of the major problems with "free trade" deals is that they put workers in western countries with stricter labour and environmental laws in competition with workers in countries without those protections. Naturally this results in some of the work being outsourced. Better trade deals would avoid that.

Mathematics forms the basis by which computers work in the first place. The hardest problems you face in computing tend to be very difficult math problems. Especially in Machine Learning which is what we are talking about here. It is what it is. Though in respect to automation, we can prove for a fact that there are a significant number of problems that cannot be solved by a computer. Since the subject in question is what is and what's not possible in automation it's important to point out that computers have fundamental limitations. The ultimate limits of what can be achieved through automation are unknown but at least we can rule a few things out by proving whether a language is decidable or undecidable. That's pretty much a cornerstone of the discipline. Also the question is what machines can do, not what humans can do. In terms of raw calculation humans have nothing on a computer so why even bring that up? Most human's can't calculate the 1000th digit of pi in their head but a computer does it in a fraction of a second. We are slowpokes.
