... But that cheap credit hasn’t actually created any real resources, so you end up with increased spending on both capital and consumer goods. As a result, inflation starts to inch up, and central banks are forced to raise interest rates to cool things off. ...
... In the Austrian theory, a recession is a process of resource re-allocation from capital-intensive to capital-light industries. Society needs to produce fewer factories and machine tools and more beer and pairs of pants (or whatever). ...
... Ok so let’s think about 2006 to 2009. The period through the end of 2007 arguably fits the austrian model. There was arguably over investment in residential home construction. In 2006 and 2007 the home building industry was contracting while other industries were still growing. ...
... Instead of re-allocating workers and other resources from home building to other sectors, you suddenly had almost every industry laying off workers—even ones that were not capital intensive and did not see strong growth in the 2000s. ...
... If that were true, then 2009 would have been a time when low-capital industries were aggressively hiring laid off construction workers. That did not happen on any significant scale. Even industries far from housing laid off workers or at least froze hiring in late 2008 and 2009. ...

... In popular media, there is often a connection drawn between the advent of awareness in artificial agents and those same agents simultaneously achieving human or superhuman level intelligence. ...
... We find that all three theories specifically relate conscious function to some aspect of domain-general intelligence in humans. ...
... Given this apparent trend, we use the motivating example of mental time travel in humans to propose ways in which insights from each of the three theories may be combined into a unified model. ...

... In Europe for example. https://t.co/f6ov0RhQB1 This means we can't blame inflation entirely on Congress or the Fed. If we'd gotten less stimulus, strong demand from other countries would still be making this stuff more expensive. The same is true of gasoline, which is also shooting up in price. ...
... It takes a year or two to spin up the capacity, but it's not rocket science. These are also largely global industries, so they won't be constrained by US labor supply. ...

... We can understand it through biology, evolutionary theories, social science. Almost every aspects of human behavior can be explained with the internal logic discovered by these scientific studies. ...
... It's only when we truly understand the origin of these behaviors, then we can possibly make some choices in deciding the meaning of being human. ...

... The brain uses a mental language to represent and organize complex ideas and concepts. This mental language is thought to be distinct from natural languages like English or Spanish, and it is believed to be the medium through which we think and process information. ...
... According to the LOTH, the structure and content of this mental language are shaped by the structure and content of the natural languages that we learn, but it is not identical to any one natural language. ...
... Instead, it is thought to be a universal language that is used by all humans to represent and process complex ideas. Link: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/ ...

... More precisely, LLMs model the concepts in natural languages using the language (albeit in a different syntax). Obviously, LLMs don't need to learn the concepts from scratch, they already have encoded words. ...
... More importantly, it doesn't need to learn a representation of the kinds of relationships between concepts, those are also encoded in words in the language as well, such as, "is", "belong to," "cause", etc. Here comes the more speculative part. ...
... A language phrase encodes the relationship. Thus one might be able to say that LLMs model the world in language. It might be a totally different gramma from natural language, but a syntax nonetheless and it's quite possible that this syntax is inspired by the syntax in natural language. ...

... Boroditsky has conducted a number of studies that have shown how the language we speak can influence our perception of time, space, and other aspects of our environment. For example, speakers of languages that use different words for different types of snow (e.g. ...
... "wet snow" versus "dry snow") are better at discriminating between different types of snow than speakers of languages that do not make this distinction. ...

... Hegel declared this as the end of the history and went on to claim that liberal societies were free from contradiction and would therefore bring historical dialectic to a close. ...
... As for "liberal societies free from contradiction", is the universal equality and the need for struggling in social group competition a contradiction? ...
... A liberal society can't just focus on its own principles of equal rights, it still has to serve another survival function: to compete with other social groups, liberal or not. Isn't that a contradiction? ...
