To him a night owl is up till midnight.
To me, midnight is super duper early.
I struggle to sleep before 5am.
At midnight I wake up and have been known to gut clean the entire house then. Even if i've been awake for over 24 hours i wake up at night.
I cycle around my sleeping pattern often, i'll get up at 3am. I'll try and get it slowly to 5am wake up, then 7am - normal time. I can usually keep it there for about a week then my sleeping goes back to normal.
No matter what I do, what time i woke up or went to sleep I still struggle to function before 2pm.

Camping and being in the outdoors with natural light definitely helps, but it still never solves the problem for me, i'm always the last one to sleep and wake up.
IMO you are now making a different argument from what I was replying to above. That's fine, but I just want to be clear.

So:
Yes, we might all get along fine; ideally the more intelligent entity would be even more enlightened that we are; etc - those are all valid possibilities, and no one is saying they are implausible.

All people are saying is that some bad possibilities are also plausible (Eliezer Yudkowsky writes some great stuff about all the accidental ways we could screw up trying to program an AGI to be benevolent), and that, as the downside of the bad possibilities is potentially so great, then, in the absence of any argument why they definitely won't happen, we need to think carefully about them.

Some would say that, because the potential consequences of a bad outcome are so great, we need to be able to prove the bad outcomes won't happen before we build this.
Quake on an oscilloscope: A technical report (2014)
We subconsciously equate size with value. A physical book sitting on a shelf benefits from being (or looking) large, especially if it costs $15. Digital books don't suffer from the misconception and lots of independently written books are shorter than those intended for print. That's my perception, anyway. I'd be curious to see hard numbers comparing book sizes between those intended for print and those that are e-book only.
Same here, though the point remains. I've been trying to make the most of the time when my child is still asleep. Bonus is than when she wakes up, I'm less groggy and can better be present for her. But it's still very much a work-in-progress for me. :(
This makes perfect sense, why downvotes? It's maybe not for everyone, but keeping a regular and consistent 'beat' works for most things.
And reaching out to my father did it for me. Earlier this year I had a deadline and asked him to call at 5AM every day for a few weeks. But we since kept it up as an excuse to talk to each other daily. We barely spoke once a year prior to that.

The phone call starts off with him ordering me to enable my speaker phone, then drop and do push-ups and sit-ups while simultaneously reciting a poem/pledge/prayer/mantra.. basically any low IQ task for about 2 minutes. Then we spend another 2 minutes chatting. The call is over in 5 minutes but by then I am wide awake.

Works best if your Dad is a former drill sergeant, in a different time-zone, is retired, and doesn't like to talk much. :)
What I don't understand is believing in ghosts and not being scared all the time. I think if I ever saw a ghost, that would be it right? I'd be done, I'd be scared all the time after that, because they can go through walls and do whatever. I don't get "casual" belief in these things.

I can respect big foot hunters, they believe in him and thus devote their time to finding him. I can't on the other hand understand some friends of mine who thought, again casually, that there were dinosaurs in Africa. If I thought that I'd be looking for them right now.
Think I could've done better? Just file some FOIA requests and lawsuits on the subject requesting all specific examples of cooperation between NSA and other LEO's plus list of all TAO and BULLRUN activities against Americans. Bet you'll have less than I posted.

Btw, a manual for DEA of using NSA's evidence isn't a specter: means it's ongoing.

Your last 'funny' point is something of a tragedy for me.

Everything was worse after the Siege of Baghdad.
If his wife is on morning meetings anyway - what's the point of waking up early for him? They probably see each other after her work anyway, he was awake at that time even when he had a night owl schedule. I don't see how he won any time by shifting his schedule, he still needs to do work, he just does it now while his wife is at work, before he used to work when she was sleeping.

How are you so confident that the risks of machine learning are in the realm of science fiction? Machine learning, at least, has the plausible potential to permanently reduce demand on labor by capital owners. Undemanded laborers lose their ability to negotiate or strike as a power counterbalance to capital owners.

At the very least, that future is too complicated to form such a confident opinion that the risks of machine learning are in the realm of science fiction.
I suspect that was irony...
His wife is at work in the morning anyway, not sure how waking up early makes up for that?
We do have a clue about the architecture of the human brain. Billions and billions of neurons with orders of magnitude more connections between them.

You call this a "clue"? It's like saying that computer architecture is "Billions and billions of transistors with orders of magnitude more connections between them". Not gonna get very far with this knowledge.

...we don't have a million times lower memory latency and...

Ok, let's pretend we have an infinitely fast computer in every way, with infinite memory. No bottleneck of any kind.
What are you going to do with it, if your goal is to build AGI? What algorithms are you going to run? What are you going to simulate, if we don't know how a brain works? Not only we don't have "the algorithm for general intelligence", we don't even know if such an algorithm exists. It's far more likely that a brain is a collection of various specialized algorithms, or maybe something even more exotic/complex. Again, we have no clue. Ask any neuroscientist if you don't believe me.
Caution: You may find this irrelevant: When I was working at Amazon, I had attended a tech talk in which the speakers discussed about how they had tried to build a tool to visualize service dependencies within Amazon (It was a fun side project for them). The issue they faced was that there were just too many services and an attempt to display all the services, even on a large monitor just resulted in a large black mass (or white mass on a black background, don't really remember) that conveyed zero useful information.
It's true, but only if your steak is well done and your beer is Coors.

- Most unix dev tools/apps run well. Homebrew.

- Aesthetics. Yes, it counts.

It's a classic, but is also pretty disturbing, so it's not really for everyone. Wikipedia says:

"He is a self-proclaimed satirist, whose trademark technique, as a writer, is the expression of extreme acts and opinions in an affectless style."

Which doesn't really cover it, I don't think, but is a good start. If you removed the murder from 'American psycho' you would have a book about a guy who was incredibly obsessed with how things he bought and wore effected a person's image. Really, that's kind of what the movie does. (note, still lots of murder by movie standards, so again, not really everyone's cup of tea, but the book goes over each act of violence in the same detail as describing the aftershave he uses.)

You could say that the book was about image? "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark..."

But the point is, the main character, this status obsessed person, was incredibly unlikable on all levels, even leaving aside the violence; one interpretation is that the things we do for status don't make us more likable; in fact, they make us rather less likable. I see a relationship between that and the article, where he seems to complain, essentially, "Everyone is a critic!" - difference being, of course, is that we're now all critics who are published, whereas it used to be that your platform was only as large as your voice is loud.
People who live in poverty aren't miserable. Far from it. They experience exactly the same gamut of emotion as you or me, including copious amounts of happiness.

It is a very strong determination to make, that someone should wish they were never born, simply because their standard of living doesn't match what you think it should be.
Just. Amazing!

As someone who is Gtk, Qt, C++ averse, I thought I'll have to settle on something like FLTK. This is another option in my basket.

One calorie is the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water at 1 atm pressure by one degree Celsius, it is equal to about 4.2 Joules. A kilocalorie, or a dietary Calorie, is one thousand calories, or 4200 Joules. All of this is readily available from an innumerable number of sources.

The calorie content of food is determined experimentally by burning the food in a calorimeter and measuring how much heat is produced (by, for example, measuring how much it raises the temperature of a water bath). This measures the energy content of the food, but does not measure the amount of energy your body can make use of as that is a very complex problem that would have a different answer in every individual due to variations in body size, metabolism, digestion, muscle mass, insulin activity, the ambient temperature, and about a zillion other factors.
The question makes perfect sense.

Word2Vec does a pretty good job of encoding the entire English language.

Autocoders are a thing, and back in 2012 Google trained one against YouTube and it learnt to recognise cats. The state of the art has progressed a lot since then. See https://googleblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/using-large-scale...

It's like every other broad movement in IT.

It starts with very smart people taking a look at the processes and outcomes they are using and deciding they are broken.

They come up with some solutions and some tools to support their new processes and start sharing them with their peers.

The new techniques have some notable successes and several members of the original group find themselves drawn into teaching/evangelizing the new methods. To make communication easier catchphrases and buzzwords intended to be a shorthand for a suite of methods become popular.

Buzzword compliance becomes a checkbox feature for groups, companies and individuals each of whom have varying levels of skill and understanding and the buzzwords become diluted and more closely associated with specific tooling.

At this point the original group is crowded out by people who are serial evangelists, and enterprise sales become more important than sharing knowledge with peers. Job descriptions start to lose contact with reality.

The movement becomes mainstream as a grotesque caricature of itself driven mostly by the greed-fueled hype train.

At which point someone looks around and declares that the processes are broken... and the whole cycle repeats.

See: object-orientation, agile, scrum, devops, etc.

Marriage at one time encompassed a range of duties: work in the maintenance of the home, maintenance in retirement, medical care (especially in old age), and care for children (and later responsibility for them). Seen as an economic institution, it actually has a fairly large footprint. If we allow that marriage was never entirely about love -- I'm not sure people would have cared that much if it was -- then we can understand why the dissolution and redefinition of marriage has occasioned so much conflict.

Ultimately we still lack a sound alternative for describing and enforcing the obligations that surround care for children. People have children in ways that are sometimes impulsive; and they are inclined to abandon them and their spouse in the same way. Marriage is a countervailing force, since it attaches penalties to abandoning the family and also makes it hard to start a new one without some resolution with the old one -- so people's energies are less easily redirected.

They should just add a cap at 1 TB (plus maybe a pay option for more) and leave Onedrive as it was. And by that I mean: Onedrive like it was on Windows 8.1, with file representations. I convertet many people to their ecosystem in the Win8 days, but now my advice is a bit embarassing in retrospect as they do not prove to be reliable.
Thomas and I have a running gag about this. Rails is holding up admirably. You can still actually see the website. Our problem is presently that one player implies 1+ ruby (not Rails) processes running bots and doing orchestration for their levels, and that has pegged the CPU on all of our GM boxes and also, possibly, saturated their network links as they hit the venue with... I don't actually know how many orders have been placed already but I'm going to wager a guess that it's "a lot."
How does the "finding jobs" part work?
Are you aiming to help people get a foot in the door at companies which would be looking to interview them, or trying to skip the "technical interview" part completely?

You are right. Thank you. Going to correct this.
No matter how much sleep I get, I find it very difficult to drag myself out of bed. I always hit snooze until the very last minute...

I hate going to bed 'early' because I feel like I'm losing out on valuable time - but I inevitably just sit on reddit/HN until 1am anyway.
> How does making the login part of UI help, would you blindly trust part of native UI instead?

Because Mozilla can — and can be compelled to — alter the UI they serve at any time, while your browser UI is static and can be verified.

The current design is horribly, horribly untrustworthy. One simply cannot rely on Mozilla to stay honest; any government it is subject to may force it to snoop your password.

There are certainly changes happening (and more on the way!) as a result of a combination of Moore's Law and ML research. I don't think they are inherently significantly more risky any more than other technical advances as long as we have a chance to think about and understand them. We definitely need to think through the social implications of computers.

I think it's important to separate those real developments from the movie-plot-threat of a super-AI escaping human control.
true, but personally I can think more clearly after I'm well rested - rather than at the end of the day, before resting, when you're often quite tired.

Text mode, I can understand. No terminal emulator is faster, and if you have lots and lots of text, there's a difference. There are even MP3 players that work in the console, and the windows+left and right keys shortcuts work great to switch between the open terminals.

But the attitude of 'I won't even take a photography of my screen for a semi-noble purpose, something thousands of people do for spurious purposes, because I will not give up an inch of self righteousness, ever'.

That's what gets me.

It's only a photography, but it works just as well.

Well, don't get me wrong. The USA probably does export this sort of thing, at least with respect to copyright laws, via treaty (and then brazenly uses it as an excuse to get what they want here).

But as far as actually implementing it, it'll be harder here because it can be shot down by the Supreme Court on First Amendment grounds, which is why I suspect they'll have to find some manner of dodge first.
Blendish (https://bitbucket.org/duangle/oui-blendish/overview) is pretty amazing and lightweight (by itself).

I know using Rails isn't as popular here as it once was, but in my experience, if you cache correctly (like you should), it's trivial to scale.
I so want to read a postmortem of the launch issues. It's one thing when a corporate project with crazy requirements goes down (almost expected these days :( ). Completely different when a service started/run by known tech people with their own schedule breaks on launch. I'd be really interested in what testing was done and why it didn't match reality.

Alas, we already more or less live in this world. If old standards were burned down without remorse more regularly, I'd think we'd see many things done differently. "But think of the pacemaker in the children's hospital" has unfortunately been the order of the day for quite some time.
But then you don't get the reusability, unless you have spools and can cut the lines, which probably gets you back to the weight of a net.

Interesting, about 20 years ago my dad stopped consuming all news media. He said "It's all negative, it's killing us all and if anything important happens I'll find out anyway."

I've not been brave enough to totally "check out", but I do avoid sensationalized news and try to pay more attention to valuable information rather than "drama".

Meanwhile at work I always remind my team "Hey we are not curing cancer, relax, slow is fast, fast is slow."

I tell my teams my job is easy because as a manager I only have four things to do:

1) Provide Air Cover (reduce stress)

2) Provide resources

3) Provide direction

4) Get the F* out of the way

I find that #1 is harder than it sounds, but as this article points out stress is infectious and can really slow a team down. I've had more than one stressed out employee come into my office and explain how we're missing some deadline or whatever and I always say "Yup, ok we'll get through it, we're not curing cancer here." we both laugh and they walk out with a lighter step to their walk.

That said I believe in accountability and we try to pick these things up in retro's and figure out how to avoid them in the future.

I like to say "I like originality in mistakes, big massive mistakes are fine, just learn and try not to repeat them."
> The world is asleep and it doesn't demand anything of me.

I really like night time for the same reason, but I think I interpret it in exactly the opposite way you do: Nobody is bothering me with things (or distracting me with interesting conversation and fun group things to do), so I can finally get some quiet, unbroken work time in, where I can get in the zone and work for four hours without any interruptions.
Seems to be pretty stressed out at the moment, tons of 500s and timeouts. 2-3 refreshes per page, got to the Level controls dialog, nothing doing.

In my earlier response, note that I didn't say that hate doesn't exist or that it isn't real. Neither did I say that it was the same as fear. I said it is an emotion that is derived from fear. Usually the connection is easy to see. Other times it is more subtle and concealed - but I argue it's always there. I don't believe in irrational behaviours. People behave the way they do for a reason.

When you hate someone, it's always because they represent something that you can't remain at peace with. Usually because of something that you are threatened by in one way or another (either physically or psychologically). Of course, I might be wrong, but I think that in the same way there's no smoke without a fire, there's no hate without fear.

This is a theory though, and one counterexample is all it takes to bring it down.
Well, in this study the calories were measured by the difference of energy released by calorimetry between the walnuts and the subjects' waste. The definition of calory in this case is obvious (and infinitely more useful than simply measuring only the energy released from igniting the food).
