> ...long term mental impact on regular users...regularly lose focus and zone out when I talked to them

This is the number one stereotype of marijuana users, but I implore you to not lump all of us into that group. There exists a large portion of users that respect intelligence and try to lead interesting lives.

A big problem is that cannabis can make you feel totally OK with whatever you are currently doing, when otherwise you may feel bored and become motivated to do something else. Mix this with the fact that regular marijuana use probably won't destroy your life (it's simply not a hard drug), and you get people that float through existence feeling fine but then one day realize years have gone by and they forgot to develop unique skills or an interesting personality.

However, many people figure this out before it's too late and make sure that getting high goes hand-in-hand with doing something interesting. i.e. smoke and then create art, music, or software. For the people who don't realize this, well... the cold truth is that many people aren't smart or talented to begin with and maybe need some alleviation from the more painful aspects of the human condition. I believe weed is a better solution for this than hard drugs, Rx pills, or everyone's favorite toxin: alcohol.

Last of all I want to say that smoke is clearly carcinogenic, but there have been recent studies suggesting things that people would have thought crazy only 10-20 years ago:

If you use Rails create your own micro cms or just do a simple html website with rails added in as needed.

I'm a fullstack developer Rails and Laravel and I develop WordPress Sites and Plugins. My main focus is web applications now but I have some legacy clients with basic websites.

WordPress is painful to deal with, most clients don't end up making their own changes with it anyway, it's bloated, has security issues, is slower loading than a Rails/Laravel site.

For you I'd recommend creating the sites in Html/CSS/Rails.

Try to sell your clients on a subscription that includes design, development, hosting and up to once monthly updates of existing content. Have packages that cover up to 5, 10, 15 pages, then as they add pages you can increase their subscription price. This has worked well for me for most clients. I'm sure you could get a high maintenance one here or there that could bombard you with requests for changes. But you can always increase their plan price occasionally if they are becoming a high demand client.

As far as hosting, a $5 digital ocean droplet would be enough for most small business brochure sites, then each one is one their own VPS. You could stack them on one VPS but I like having them on their own.

I use laravel forge to spin up the droplets and deploy repos, it also has build in support for lets encrypt so you can add SSL at no cost.

Good luck getting a system setup that works for you.
Isnt the simplest explanation probably correct in this scenario?
Can somebody properly explain the different stages of the explosion? Obviously there's the first explosion but then after about 3.5 seconds there's a second, bigger one.

What's exploding in the first boom and what in the second?

Then, about 12 seconds in, the "nose" is falling down and causing a 3rd explosion. Why hasn't the nose "co-exploded" already with the 1st or 2nd explosion?

This used to be less of a problem when companies demonstrated loyalty towards their employees. Employees also demonstrated loyalty in return.

It was "deemed" more efficient on Wall Street to scale up when needed and lay off everybody when not, though. Apparently that doesn't breed loyalty.
Driving while under the influence creates a condition where one can cause harm with no further intent. General being under the influence does not, to the limit of philosophical zombies.

Furthermore, any drug user's increased propensity towards $whatever is going to correspond to the dosage they've taken. Criminalization of the substance itself is still not implied, just as driving with a trunk full of beer is fine. And there still exists the correlated crime-by-association [0] of public intoxication.

[0] Observe how the legal cancer spreads based not on true misdeeds, but on ancillary behaviors that are simply correlated to misdeeds. But if correlation were sufficient justification, then profiling based on skin color and lack of political connection would also be perfectly acceptable! Since the entire point of the rule of law is to protect the long tail of individual outliers, creating avenues to arbitrarily persecute people by association is its destruction.
This is the major problem with the line of reasoning.

We've all built and [not] maintained product tours, now its time to pass the torch to our business compatriots. Chameleon enables them to show off the product without developers as the linchpin for the whims of late-night copy changes.

We've built a product that runs wholly inside another companies interface allowing them to create and edit right where it matters (engineering wise there are many challenges this presents).

I could imagine there may be systems that don't connect to the internet but maybe want to use DNS protocol to coordinate to other systems.
Why are models so skinny(Funny)
Technical reports can have many figures that take up many pages, so wordcount works better here.
DNS rebinding can also be used to attack private addresses, for which it would be perfectly legal to have real DNS names (think DNS entries for a company's intranet). Blacklisting localhost only offers a bit of security against silly devs, but arguably pivoting an attack from a public server to a private network is much more valuable and harder to stop.
> Also an interesting take on how much Microsoft has had to unwind in a compatible way over the years.

It's very much self-inflicted technical debt. From a Spolsky on Software article from 2004:

> Raymond Chen is a developer on the Windows team at Microsoft. He's been there since 1992, and his weblog The Old New Thing is chock-full of detailed technical stories about why certain things are the way they are in Windows, even silly things, which turn out to have very good reasons.

> The most impressive things to read on Raymond's weblog are the stories of the incredible efforts the Windows team has made over the years to support backwards compatibility:

Look at the scenario from the customer's standpoint. You bought programs X,
Y and Z. You then upgraded to Windows XP. Your computer now crashes
randomly, and program Z doesn't work at all. You're going to tell your
friends, "Don't upgrade to Windows XP. It crashes randomly, and it's not
compatible with program Z." Are you going to debug your system to determine
that program X is causing the crashes, and that program Z doesn't work
because it is using undocumented window messages? Of course not. You're
going to return the Windows XP box for a refund. (You bought programs X, Y,
and Z some months ago. The 30-day return policy no longer applies to them.
The only thing you can return is Windows XP.)

> I first heard about this from one of the developers of the hit game SimCity, who told me that there was a critical bug in his application: it used memory right after freeing it, a major no-no that happened to work OK on DOS but would not work under Windows where memory that is freed is likely to be snatched up by another running application right away. The testers on the Windows team were going through various popular applications, testing them to make sure they worked OK, but SimCity kept crashing. They reported this to the Windows developers, who disassembled SimCity, stepped through it in a debugger, found the bug, and added special code that checked if SimCity was running, and if it did, ran the memory allocator in a special mode in which you could still use memory after freeing it.

> This was not an unusual case. The Windows testing team is huge and one of their most important responsibilities is guaranteeing that everyone can safely upgrade their operating system, no matter what applications they have installed, and those applications will continue to run, even if those applications do bad things or use undocumented functions or rely on buggy behavior that happens to be buggy in Windows n but is no longer buggy in Windows n+1.

Why would DNS be broken ? It's only an IP address. If you don't like the localhost part, then just change it to its IPv6 counterpart: "::1". And if you think that it should be blacklisted too, then you could use the computer's temporary IPv6.

But then, you could also use 127.x.y.z (so you'd have to "blacklist" all the 127.0.0.0/8 range).

And also blacklist the 192.168.x.y range (more specifically an attacker could be that your router serves 192.168.1.x with DNS starting at x=100, so serve the 192.168.1.100).

Then at this point you realise that its not DNS that's broken but the underlying applications.
"On the other hand, if society approaches AI with a more open mind, the technologies emerging from the field could profoundly transform society for the better in the coming decades."

It's funny reading reports like this: Society never moves as a single unit. There will be groups that hate it as pure evil and groups that treat it as a religion that will save us and solve all problems. Most people will be somewhere in between.

I mean, I agree, if society all agreed it would have profound effects. But when has the whole world moved as one on any issue?

What we're going to get from society is a heterogeneous response. We can plan accordingly. Sure, a majority may trend one way or another and that can speed things up or slow it down, but you will need to deal with the extremes regardless.

Aaron posted this on the Rust subreddit, and it kinda applies here too:

----------

Recently we've been discussing a roadmap process for the Rust project. Part of that process is setting a project agenda each year by identifying 8-10 key problems we want to try to tackle across the project, which taken together represent a major increment in Rust's evolution. The linked post lays out some preliminary thoughts on vision statements for the 2017 cycle.

Since the point here is specifically to have a community-wide discussion on the internals forum, please direct comments there rather than splitting across multiple forums!

Since this is on the front page now, I will certainly be reading the replies, but if you truly want to help steer the direction of Rust, commenting on Discourse would be ideal. Thanks!
Maybe they should keep the app in the store, but de-list it and don't include it in search? Require a direct URL or invite for those. It would remove the clutter, but still allow people to get legacy apps that still function, but that you don't want showing up randomly to app store users.
>Often the case anyway.

Because of a failure of negotiation. For negotiation to work you need leverage, and being an asset to your company is the obvious way to generate it.
I've found that when I match or beat the offer they leave anyways in 6-9 months. So now, I no longer fight to keep them. If they were a great employee I chalk it up as a loss and try to be smarter and more proactive next time.
I have never shared one companies offer with another, nor would I. Of course if I company was not willing to negotiate I would immediately walk. I have just learned a lot about the people who work there.
This isn't live yet, but we expect it to be across our citus cluster. The ~30% figure comes from the profiling we did on individual postgres nodes.
Really? By my reading RFC-5321 & RFC-5322 leaves interpretation of the local-part up to the software running on the host where the mail is delivered, but since that interpretation is up to those servers, intermediate servers must treat them as case sensitive and not make modifications to the local-part.

Anecdote to anecdote but "... Or people who are not good at self-promoting. Or people who are punished for self-promoting (Women)." is pure conjecture that doesn't align with the results I've seen in industry.

What's to stop a high performer from becoming an entrepreneur (thus interacting with the market more directly)? The Google engineers making >300k /annual are definitely an order of magnitude more skilled than the Java dev making 75k in my experience. Despite the rhetoric, high performance is linked to pay if the employee does basic due diligence in job shopping.

EDIT reply to child comment since I can't post to this thread anymore:

Do you make that much money because you were highly assertive or are you highly skilled? I'm sure it's the latter, Google wouldn't be paying you that much if you weren't worth it.

> And there's a million reasons for why a high-performing IC should not become an entrepreneur.

Indeed, but it is an option, as is raising your skill level to the point where you can work at Google.

> Speaking of Google... It's found that equally capable women are routinely under-rewarded, as they rarely nominate themselves for promotion. [1]

Not receiving a promotion they didn't ask for does not sound like a problem in any way. We're talking about adults not children, if you want something, ask for it.
I'm in flyover country, man. It's great for me.

The thing about the Valley is that they've kinda scorched the earth with the capital carpetbombing, negative profit margin style of tech development. So much so that's it's coming back to bite even them-- those IPOs didn't burn themselves out, but they're stuck in this prisoner's dilemma trap where they can't quit the juice.
Unfortunately, it's 2 for 29.

But if you look at the FT version, it's 1 for 8.

1. What kind of insurance will be needed on a billion dollar NSA satellite? $100 million? $125 million? It's not so cheep anymore, and considering delays etc. It's not such a great deal anymore.
2. They probably should have a "stable" platform and a "beta" platform, with a discount offered for beta.

Unfortunately, the "move fast and break things" attitude doesn't work with rockets.
Thanks again, looks like it was the decoder and register in the low res image of the die that I saw. I eagerly await to read your article detailing the 1795. I suppose the 8 level stack was to allow it to be used without RAM. Also didn't the AGC use an approach a bit similar to what Boysel did with a ROM for many instructions built from smaller instructions? It also reminds me a bit of a TTA.

It would be nice if there were some kind of per-app charge because some of the spam app houses (who just churn out junk trying to trick people) must have TONS of apps and adding that little cost (maybe $10 to publish the first time, $5 a year) might be enough to cut down own it.
It most definitely is in tech. 10X engineers exist and if they aren't being paid handsomely, it's because they've put zero effort into finding the correct job.

Interesting article. Some things are weird. I don't know why a support vector machine is ranked better than Bayesian nets, or why they are both worse than ensemble methods w.r.t. interpretability.

However, I think the human should not be in the loop. The network should have another semantic layer that serves communication. It can be done from the ground up like Steels or Vogt have been doing.

In other words, yes we need insight, but I prefer it through introspective networks. The network should be able to explain itself.

We're now in a low growth environment. 20% IRR+ over 7+ years is probably going to be a lot better than you're going to do in the public markets over the next 10 years and it's unlikely that we'll see the DOW at 40,000 by 2026. All the information asymmetries have been arbitraged away and companies are not growing that fast.
Well, a developer's local machine will typically be much less likely to be compromised than a always-on, publicly-broadcasted machine.
This is one of those rules that has had basically zero enforcement for years. I hope it changes with the rest of this.

The app store, if you follow all the rules, could be such a great place. But they haven't bothered to enforce so many of their rules (except in capricious cases where they wanted to get rid of something) that there is a TON of junk in there and the store is almost unusable.
This is crazy!
> The attack depends on multiple software products all making very reasonable decisions about how they should work, but the way they interact with each other leads to a vulnerability.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. A browser allowing externally loaded scripts to access private ip ranges is not a reasonable decision.

PSA: To protect yourself from this, and some more bad browser defaults, use NoScript with "allow all scripts globally." Keep the JS, but filter out some bad stuff. Also enable ABE (application boundaries enforcer, made to solve exactly this problem) for good measure.

AGI progress is unlikely to be limited by some exponential curve that we're just not far enough along though. Rather it seems more limited by some key insight no one has found yet. Sure we'll be able to retrofit some exponential curve onto it after the fact, since when it appears it will change everything drastically. But this is in contrast to e.g. the human genome project which started out with the expectation of a specific exponential curve to give an estimate for project completion. Your more general point I agree with, however, it's not enough to dismiss the report.
