Does even C provide such guarantees? Isn't the compiler free to rewrite the code it's compiling in whatever way it wishes as long as the output is the same?

This seems like a very big, pretty unreasonable assumption: "Assuming that a superintelligence will contain a program that includes all the programs that can be executed by a universal Turing machine on input potentially as complex as the state of the world"

This assumption is essentially assuming that "superintelligence" means "god-like intelligence" (god-like because it can compute anything about the world), which is not what the first AGIs that are even significantly smarter than humans would look like.

>They act for their own profit

Lol, as opposed to all the other actors in the economy who provide a service.

>and the fact that they make the spread smaller is a bit of a side effect

It's not 'a bit of a side effect', it is what they have to do to earn fills or they will be undercut by their competition. Narrowing the spread is literally what a market maker is paid to do. It is their reason for existence. It isn't a 'side effect'. If you make a spread narrower than your competition, you steal his customers. Otherwise you don't trade and you don't make any money and you are out of business.

> Why call that a service?

It is a service. A very useful one. They offer, for a specified price, to sell (or buy) a financial instrument to (or from) you.

No one forces you to use it. If you don't want to, and think you can do better, you can take your chances and place a limit order in the book instead.

So like all services, it is completely optional, costs you money (to cross the spread), and provides you a benefit (immediate execution and certainty of price).

I suspect what you are struggling with, is that you don't realise that risk transferral is a benefit. Take for example, the dairy farmer who sells his milk to a company (a middleman) that transports it, pasteurizes it, bottles it and on-sells it to a supermarket chain. In this case, you would probably tell me that you can see what service they provide - they add value by pasteurizing and bottling the milk, which they specialize in. Which is true. But there is a hidden value too - they take risk away from the farmer. The milk could spoil, the trucks could breakdown, the vats be contaminated, the supermarkets cancel their orders. All of these are risks that the farmer would have to bear if the farmer wanted to bottle their own milk, take it to a market and sell it. Part of the service provided is to take risk away from the farmer and be paid for it.

That is all a market maker does. They offer you the opportunity to dispose of your risk (the risk that the financial instrument you hold may move against you in the time it takes you to find a buyer or seller) instantly by paying a very (very) small fee to do so.

I will not argue the common usage meanings that have come about for 'natural' and 'artificial' for things like plastic flowers or street lamps, but I look at 'ourselves', or humankind as part of nature, and not supernatural, or apart from it. I am not sure when this distinction or usage arose, but 'artificial' or using 'societal' here seems self-hating, and I don't think the term 'natural selection' is archaic or exclusive in this sense.

The same reason I find cell towers made to look like trees an eyesore, and I much prefer the 'natural' shape a truss tower takes with its wide supportive base, diagonals and ever-decreasing thickness to the spire. I personally find these more aesthetically appealing.
Light from 'artificial' light bulbs is made of photos regardless of color temperature and the time of day it is turned on. I don't like plastic flowers, although plastic is also found in nature, but just not as structured, homogenized, or in the quantities we produce it.

I agree with you on the 'social selection' and eugenics bit. My Mom had bought me a hardcover 'Eugenics' textbook from an old bookshop originally published in England in the 20s. Scary content given what occurred 20 years later, but it was humorous to me when reading it in 1976, especially the chapter on 'The Honeymoon' and how to have the proper one with attendant drawings! I was twelve at the time.
Recent report about this case says that local police finally found an evidence that this was a murder. A witness charged in illegal possession of a gun confessed, that this gun belonged to a Mansi hunter, which participated in that massacre. The Dyatlov group accidentally discovered a holy place of Mansi tribe and took something from there. The Mansi have found that and attempted to return their possessions.

Seattle doesn't appear to be markedly cheaper than the East Bay. If you want out for cultural reasons, sure, but the cost of living differential appears marginal (and the gap will only close as tech hiring there continues).
It always irks me when I discover that an ’app’ for an apparently ’computational’ (and localisable) task is nothing but a client for logic that resides and runs elsewhere: it means that the idea of having a free-standing program is an illusion and that if something happens to the company the app will stop working rather than merely become abandonware.

So yes, it might make sense, but it is at some level disappointing.

He was very much against the expansion of slavery. This is clear in his writings and his voting record. I'm not saying that he was an outright racist, but take him in historical context. He resisted his party's call for emancipation for over two years into the Civil War, and he only issued the Proclamation once the North was all but sure to lose. And even then he only abolished it in states that were rebelling against the Union. He could never have abolished slavery outright given that there were six slave holding states that were fighting on his side that would have seceded immediately thereafter.

It will turn into a hell because JavaScript lacks Haskell's strong type system. The tooling will not give you early warning if you pass a plain function into a construct that expects a promise etc.
But how do you select 'intelligent' people to generate your 'intelligent' answers? If it's not at some point tied back to some kind of objective performance (generating correct answers) then you're not measuring intelligence.
In sci-fi book "Monday begins on Saturday" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky there was cool, but rather unrealistic theory, according to which Tunguska event was a landing of an alien spaceship, which had reverse time arrow. They landed and then have gone to our past, finding themselves in the untouched ancient taiga, and leaving no traces in our future.
Totally agree. I think when people hear the word "lazy" they think "incompetent", like "they didn't know how to solve the problem, so they took a lazy route by not doing it very well" when this is not what is meant by the phrase at all, it is exactly what you said.

I would also say that it's doubly important with the experience because I've seen people spend far too much time one something that they think will save them time in the future, but that future changes. It's a balancing act.
Yeah, trying to make TLS client identity private is a recipe for sadness (well, before 1.3).

Elegance is in the eye of the beholder, and being mathematics-derived says nothing of its suitability for direct use by humans.

So basically, you value your time more than the time of us Hackage Trustees, who now have to fix the mess you're leaving behind on Hackage. That's like justifying littering because that's less work, since there's public services anyway which pick up the garbage you leave behind.

If you have the time to write software, package it up, write tests, package it up, and upload to Hackage, then is it really asked too much to go that extra mile and follow the PVP to not waste our time?

Ask HN: Should i outsource to react/node or to php/jquery
I have some experience with outsource teams in India, Ukraine and other.

In my experience, the older the tech, the more plentiful the devs.

So i was always able to get fistful of good devs in php/jquery in the Ukraine. But for a new project, the FE lead and designer wants to work with more modern tools. (We can certainly guide and mentor new devs - but that takes times and energy of course).

Can anyone shed light on the availability of devs in outsourcing/remote with the latest&greatest libs ?!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I though the chopstick gene example has more to do with population structure confounding than with the heritability of the trait?

I think there is a much stronger point that is being ignored. No one is currently hiring in London. There are 700,000 less jobs ads then before the referendum. If EU hubs actively pick up those who are unemployed in London, it would be enough of a 'brain-drain' for London start-ups to notice.

It is funny that people in the start-up industry are unwilling to be 'agile' about languages. Personally, I'm terrible at learning languages, but limiting myself to potentially a hazardous place to live in just because they speak english, is not a great reason.
And yet, that's all the point of theoretical science. To think in ways even if they are not provable at this time. And then experimental scientists come along, look at the theories and then think about how to experiment on them. That's how it works. And I think if they want to disprove any of this they need to show that this system is broken. I need to google but I'm sure everybody can remember hearing a few times in their life that there were scientists like Einstein who had ideas that could not be proven in their life time but could be proven now with modern computers and now we know they were true. We admire that and we need that. And that's the thesis they need to fight if they want to convince me of theoretical science being wrong or bad.
