Rather than call the company, you select company name and authenticate (via FB, Google, etc). The company then contacts you to resolve your problem.

The game depth for those games is going to be enormously large. Chess is played with 32 figures on a 64-tile board, and that's enough to give us serious problems. Games like SC or LoL have way, way more options -- the set of all possible game states is of such a size that I don't even have a sense of scale for this order of magnitude.

Think about it this way: the average branching factor of a legal chess move is 35: there are about 35 legal moves that could follow. For Go, the average branching factor is 250. In StarCraft, how many "legal moves" do you have available at a given game state, on average? Tens of thousands? Millions?

By the way, this is made significantly more difficult by SC and LoL not being turn-based games the way Chess is.
Humidity.

50f in San Fran can feel downright chilly.

50f in Chicago is shorts weather.
Hmm, makes me wonder if it's feasible (for really popular hardware where there is sufficient interest) to just port the open source Linux drivers over to Windows kernel and release it under GPL. Maybe even charge some money for the effort/to be able to download the installation kit (as I think there may be costs involved in getting access to the Windows kernel driver development kit that would allow to build the driver).
LinkedIn did some really dodgy shit before MS took over and started cleaning it up. Slowly.

They tricked you into giving them access to your email. They used endorsements to trick you into logging back in (and hitting the previous trick login...). The marketing bods who came up with that shit will occupy a special place in hell along with every other growth hacker.

The content is about as low value as on any other social network but compared to the toxic waste Twitter and FB spew out, the worst you'll see on LinkedIn is an annoying writing style where everyone seems to be drafting a motivational seminar or self help book.
In 1980 the top quintile earned 44% of the income and in 2013 51%. So the tax structure became much more progressive over that time.

In 2019 it was 52% of the income.
To be concerned with any noise associated with WSB or others is dependent on your time horizon. If Im buying Cloudflare because I plan to own it in 5-10 years, that is likely moot. If you want to get rich quick, its a bet like any other.
“energy usage is subjective”. Hmm..
That's why they call the big tax avoidance move "Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich"
Software/design issues requiring hardware recalls are routine in the industry, though. There's really nothing notable about this particular issue at all, except that it involves "consumer-like" devices that posters here understand and feel expert on. We all think that "we'd never have done something this dumb", so therefore it's an easy shot to take where esoterica about engine control PCBs isn't something we have the confidence to second guess.

(Needless to say, we totally would have made the same kind of mistake, and probably do so every day.)

The only meaningful ding on Tesla here is #4 above: clearly this was a design flaw and should have been a recall from the start, not a customer-financed repair.
> Those programs are intended to improve the majority of people's lives. You can interpret that as "more equal" if you want.

If tomorrow everyone was given all of those programs, but the income distribution stayed the same as it were today, would everyone go home satisfied or would they discover new things that needed providing?
I actually like Scala.

I teach it to complete beginners to programming and generally it goes great - there is a huge demand for junior Scala developers in my neck of woods.

However when I found that 22 argument monster a while ago it was a bit of a wtf moment to me.

Why 22? Why not 21 or 23 ? Is it one of those no one is going to need more than 22 arguments?
Does the US use "sarking" [1] (metal foil insulation) in house construction?

Most Australian houses are wrapped in a layer of metal foil insulation. Presumably that would offer some attenuation to radar, though the windows must still allow radiation though, as mobile phones typically work inside. Perhaps a house with metal foil based window tinting would offer a reasonably complete Faraday cage?

Kyllo v. United States [1]

Law enforcement used a thermal imaging camera to detect hotspots consistent with marijuana growth inside Kyllo's house. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that this was a 4th amendment violation.

[1]http://www.oyez.org/cases/2000-2009/2000/2000_99_8508
There's already been a ruling saying this isn't ok: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyllo_v._United_States

Kyllo was about thermal imaging but the opinion is quite clear. There's a much, much stronger case for thermal imaging equipment than there is for a device which probes via radio waves.
I see no evidence of this. The "ease of stopping terrorist attacks" seems entirely fabricated.
AWS cut off Parler after several months of moderation problems (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/29095511/13/parler-llc-...).
I make my own wine, beer, and mead. I think I need to reduce the beer portion of the hobby because it just tastes too good. I want 2 or 3 per night. The wine and mead are only occasionally, as was the store bought beer before I started making that.

My favorites are probably Irish red, NE IPA, and oatmeal stout. Maybe a dry hopped grislette.
FAANG aren't the only jobs that can pay bills but they certainly are one of them and as good as any.

You seem to be confused as to the meaning of the word "authoritarian". It does not mean "imperialist", which is what you are describing.
Meanwhile Intel Macs can't support external displays without using the discrete GPU and thermal throttling under moderate workloads.

They are completely unsuited for multi-monitor workloads without an eGPU.

More specifically, the draw 30W of additional power that has to go somewhere. You can turn down the refresh rate, to say 10Hz or something, but it still has to use the discrete GPU. The cooling solution simply isn't handled to deal with it, as they have crammed as much processing power they can into the ultra-light chassis.

Meanwhile you can play World of Warcraft whilst drawing just 25W of power TOTAL on the M1 (estimate, I don't play WoW anymore). This is while the Intel Mac is drawing 70-100 Watts from the socket for just rendering a window to the secondary display.

It's got to the stage that I prefer to use my 13 inch M1 over a top of the line 16 inch provided by work. When M1 finally supports docker, I might even consider not using the 16 inch at all. It crashes due to thermals about twice a week due to the constant high temperature and eats through batteries!

If anyone has a solution to this, I'm all ears, but it feels like every nay-sayer of the M1 is dismissing just how many compromises Intel based laptops (not just Macs) have. I had just as many issues with the Dell XPS, where even basic video games would become unplayable after 15 minutes due to CPU throttling down to 0.8 Ghz.

The M1 has been the first laptop I have been truly happy with as a desktop user.
technically it is facebook in violation of GDPR considering that all the data in the addressbook is easily considered personal data for a commercial entity and so facebook should ask the permission to each owner of those numbers before collecting them.
It seems they already do that, which is why their e-mails are getting dropped when sent to a recipient hosted by the giants.
Many of these families are people seeking asylum status in the United States. Detaining then like criminals and treating them like animals — there are documented cases of infants without identification being cared for by unrelated minors is grotesque.

That treatment is against the law, as is many aspects of how others apprehended crossing the border illegally are.

If some regulation of asylum process justifies the dishonorable conduct of our government to you, I’m sorry for you. Our humanity is worth more than some bullshit political dogma.
That’s how most of this nonsense works. You just have to sow doubt.

5G investment? This sounds like a non-sequitur.
I have 3 vaccines and after the third, around 16 days later, got covid. So much mental fuzziness.

After recovering I got covid again (assuming omicron) and recovered.

My word recall is absolute garbage. My memory of the first quarter of the year is fuzzy. Otherwise I am doing OK and seeing improvements. But I know conversations with me are painful when I cant come up with the right words.
The simplicity is great.

> However, there was no further explanation as to why there is an evolutionary pressure for the brain to do this trick, AFAIK.

Umm… yes there is. It’s a survival mechanism. The premise is self evident for improving evolutionary fitness.
Expose them to a bunch of different things. When they show interest or aptitude, encourage them and support them. Trying too hard and forcing it on them can backfire - it can ruin your relationship with them, it can put them off pursuing something altogether, it can even slow their development (e.g. at certain ages playing is much more important for mental development than science). Just let your kid be a kid instead of treating them like your own video game character that you need to max out.

Some signs that you might be trying too hard is that you're asking for a daily science routine for a 9-month old baby.
Oddly enough nobody knew what WhatsApp was when I asked them.

They all just use Snapchat or the built in SMS application.

I used to think that the lack of contentment we seem to feel with our current lifestyles (which qualify as opulent luxury by the standard of any king of days gone by) was a great tragedy.

I no longer believe this. The dissatisfaction we experience is a drive to accomplish more and drive the continued betterment of our race; the acquisitions and "keeping up with the Joneses" drive our productivity. There are perverse incentives, of course, to maximize our pay while minimizing our work. But at some point, to buy a $10,000 72" Plasma LED HDMI Gigajoule Laser TV, one must have done (or at least been around for) $10,000 worth of work.

Now, maybe Dilbert's dissatisfaction with his lot in life doesn't drive his productivity. Geeks are wont to build cool stuff for the sake of building cool stuff. Maybe I'm overanalyzing something that we should just laugh at. But as They Might Be Giants sang, "No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful. Everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful." Beautiful not because tragic sadness is good in and of itself, but because by striving to overcome our endless frustration, we guarantee our progeny a better quality of life.

But it does mean that people have access to that technological progress.

And, to be clear, I don't mean in some kind of fuzzy way where if you have access to the technological progress, you will go out and be more economically productive.

I mean: If ten years from now, your country's nominal GDP is exactly the same as it is today, but you have access to cool new technology that makes your life materially better, then economic metrics will attempt to capture that improvement and will say that you are now richer, ie, the economy has grown.

So, for example, when we try to figure out the value of inflation, we take into account the fact that your smartphone today is "worth" more than the featurephone that you had ten years ago, and we say that if hypothetically the smartphone and the featurephone cost the same amount, then your money has deflated (ie, your money is worth more, ie you're richer at the same nominal amount of money).

The metrics may or may not do a good job of putting a precise dollar figure on that, but they're trying, and if the technological progress is significant enough, and reaches a large enough population, then they'll put some dollar figure to it.

Technological progress that does not improve the lives of significant numbers of people, of course, does not translate to technological growth. But I assume that is not what you're arguing for?
It's possible. Peter Thiel has called Elon Musk, "the master marketer."
It looks like you can get 120 100 mg pills on Amazon for $5, or $0.04 per dose. I don't see the benefit of a spray as opposed to pills.

You have a good point, but 100 mg is a good dose of caffeine for people that are sensitive to it. They would find themselves cutting the pills down for lesser doses. The 100 mg caffeine pills I bought on Amazon are very tiny and would be very difficult to cut without a specialized device.
Well, reading this comment, I find you to be more scum than the helicopter pilot. He was eager to engage to protect the soldiers on the ground and thought he found the ones who were trying to kill them. Probably too eager, because war is hell, and despite all the best efforts of people to minimize civilian casualties, they can't. This is the actual reason I am an anti-war veteran.

You are just a coward behind a keyboard hurling insults from throwaway accounts, imagining yourself to be the better person.

Ugh, too much internet for one day.
Hey, thank you very much for your work on this. I use it several times per day and cannot stop recommending it.
So basically, not only is this true: "Fuck you. It doesn't take a military mind to understand the difference between right and wrong and how little either has to do with institutional rules."

..but the more extreme "It TAKES a civilian mind to understand the difference between right and wrong" is also true? If the military is unable to consider morality itself, then we must rely on civilians to call them out. Accusing civilians of being incapable of doing that then puts the military above any sense of morality. Disturbing, to say the least.
Rankings are money and money makes the world go round. As long as there are search engines there will always be SEOs. There is a lot of science involved. If you don't think so then your only kidding yourself.
And, you don't have to pay extra for the pillow.
All of these Scala "RC" release announcements are pretty worthless. They say nothing at all about what's getting fixed in each, they just repeat the same general Scala 2.8.0 feature set.

Edit: also, if you read the mailing list, people are already running into problems with RC4.
In the aughts, [Romer] became rich as a software entrepreneur.

What was his software business?

Edit: oh, I see this is discussed in TFA. It was Aplia.
First, 10 years is an awfully short time to go from the development of a scientific tool (the human genome map) to real-world medical treatments.

Not only that, it's only really been in the last 3 or 4 years that the sequencing technology has exploded in terms of data volume, as well as modern computer hardware that can analyze that data in any reasonable time frame. That's whats enabled whole genome sequencing of disease patients to become something practical.

When the human genome was published the state of the art sequencing machines produced a remarkably tiny fraction of what we can get now, and the state of art computer on which to crunch the data was a Pentium 3. Just because a human reference genome was published didn't change the fundamentals of how future research would still be conducted.
Typically they're marketed under an identifiable naming scheme and the heroine's name. I'm going to give you titles from the first in the series, you can search on Amazon to find the rest.

Let's see: Dead Witch Watching (my first urban fantasy series and a decent one to get started on if you're new to the genre). Succubus Blues (an... amusing choice in a protagonist). Trick of the Light. Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs ("He vamped me against my will, comedy edition"). Some Girls Bite ("He vamped me against my will, drama edition" -- probably the quickest teach-you-the-tropes book on this list).
I doubt you will find anyone on the tech/scientist community who is making major innovations and discoveries never heard of the idea of technological singularities. The idea has been around or a while.
Shhhh! They're happy with their efficient English. Doun't ruin their fun!
You're right, it's not good. But it's also not quite as bad as it's made to sound. Here is the actual journal article: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/303/7/631

The conclusion from the abstract: "After adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, a genetic risk score comprising 101 single nucleotide polymorphisms was not significantly associated with the incidence of total cardiovascular disease."

Since traditional risk factors include family history, it's totally unsurprising that a mere 101 genetic variants cannot beat them out. Since novel deleterious mutations in cardiovascular genes are rare (human mutation rate is ~10E-8 per nucleotide per generation; unpublished data) your family history contains virtually all of the information you're going to get from genetics.

Also, we're talking about 101 common genetic associations - not 101 genes. To put this in perspective, APOB itself has over 101 known deleterious variants itself. They didn't test all of these; they just tested 101 common-variant, disease-associated SNPs. So the study is actually much less interesting than it might be.

EDIT: Oh, not to mention that traditional risk factors include things like LDL-cholesterol, the best-established causal risk factor for MI. The genetic risk score includes many SNPs that influence LDL-C level. LDL-C is ~50% genetically determined, 50% environmental. So knowing the LDL-C level is, unsurprisingly, a more powerful predictor of MI risk than is knowledge of the variants that influence LDL-C.

Well, then we could just set a global minimum income tax.

However... there's a great problem with this proposal. We're decreasing individual agency and increasing corporate agency.

Corporations are massive evolutionary self-defending systems. As this kind of system, they don't fundamentally care (i.e. their survival and reward isn't directly connected) about the wellbeing of their employees or the general population; their success doesn't mean success of employees or our progress as a society. Think about how our bodies don't really regard the wellbeing of our cells (only that they do their jobs to sustain what we do care about) -- and of course that's fine because cells don't think (individually).

Since corporations are non-conscious as individual entities (as far as I can tell), they don't have a well-defined wellbeing we should care for, unlike their employees and the population at large.

In this sense, they can indeed be seen as AGI overlords fighting with us. If they could replace humans with non-questioning (and without consciousness or well-defined wellbeing) robots they wouldn't bat an eye, as entities.

I call this The Great Problem of Consciousness: there are a great many of (abstract) forces and incentives in the Universe, and almost none of them care about the only thing that really matters, the Collective Conscious experience. Profit, nationalism, bureaucracy, authoritarianism, entropy, natural selection, energy gradients, and so on. None of that really cares about our experience (well being), yet they are the major driving forces of the Universe. The great battle is to try to align those gargantuan monsters into our own service. We only have control now because of the precarious situation where:

Power ~ Intelligence ~ Consciousness

Any variations in this condition will risk to topple humanity (in the sense of conscious individuals with good experience of life), unless we can systematically prevent it (before it prevents us). It's not quite it, but a similar concept is Scott Alexander's Moloch[1]. I'm studying ways to defeat this opponent (if anyone is interested, I hereby invite you to join in!).

I haven't seen that happen on either of my Macs.

I've experienced exactly one major new issue in Yosemite, and it's only affecting one of my Macs: when my iMac Retina sleeps, it often doesn't wake correctly and ends up doing a system reset so all my terminal state is lost. It's really fucking annoying. I managed to work around it by changing something in the sleep settings.
