> Most coffee shops are filled with scum who had previously been unceremoniously fired from their “real” jobs and are now just floating through life, living off the graces of wireless internet for the low price of a single cup of tea over six hours.

There's very little truth in this article.

Plenty of talented people work remote, and good coffee shops that foster a productive work environment are a great place to meet other people who are doing the same thing you're doing. I've made friends, found new people to work with, picked up new contract gigs... just by talking to people who were working in the same coffee shop I was. If the author thinks so lowly of people who work remote, maybe he's just reflecting on his own situation...

Singularity-style outcomes do seem unlikely, in the same way a lot of exponential threats stop being scary if they turned out to be logistic curves.

That said, a key counter to the idea is that humans possesses very limited real control over how they are manufactured. Even if you had a solid idea how to make yourself smarter, it seems likely you wouldn't have the tools and potential to implement that idea in practice. Humans don't even control what their own minds respond to positively or negatively.

Once something like a designed computer chip is involved, that changes. The intelligence can act on itself more readily and doesn't have millenia of calorie-conserving optimisations built in.

> Have you used Z? How does it compare to TLA+?

I haven't used it but I've seen some examples of it. In many ways it is similar to TLA+, and Lamport says it's a nice, mathematical language. From an aesthetic point of view, it is less elegant: it has many more built-in concepts. From a pragmatic point of view, I think it does not support concurrency at all. Before creating TLA+, Lamport had intended to add TLA to Z for concurrency. This was the result: https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/pubs/...

Anyway, here's a comparison by Lamport: https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/pubs/...

> I'm thinking of trying out TLA+ this holidays to spec a couple of algorithms at work.

Cool. Apart from being very useful, it's a lot of fun.

We got a university wide mail yesterday that nothing will change for us due to §52a because of the "settlement" with VG-Wort. I entered mild rage mode because it was written as "great news, everything is awesome" while my personal interpretation was WTF are you doing settling this...more like negotiating with terrorists.

Oh well, this boycott is very welcome. I'd also like to see a consortium that aggressively sues these publishers for breaking copyright. There's many cases of OA licensed material being illegally reused by closed journals etc. but usually it's just "please stop"...ok. At the same time the publishers bring down the law with full force for the most trivial stuff.
I'm not certain this would be true. It reminds me of the industrial revolution, when people we convinced that machines could bootstrap themselves into contraptions that could move mountains. But there are physical constraints preventing that.

I don't know what the future holds, but the fact that undecidable problems always seem to involve Turing Machines either designing or inspecting other Turing machines makes me suspect that singularity won't be the explosion some expect.
Look people, it's very simple.

Many countries are currently addicted to population growth. Their mentality hasn't adjusted to the rise of automation and the decline of demand for human labor. They still think we need to keep high birth rates to fund social security schemes.

What will happen in the next few decades is that fewer people will be needed to do anything really productive. More people will study and raise their kids. A smaller, richer population would be more sustainable when it comes to overfishing, overpolluting etc. We will turn the world into farms and hopefully plug all the holes that will result. Ecosystems will be much different with less variation, and humans will be trying to constantly keep the balance.

It is in this environment that we place advances in longevity.

Grouping effectively is a competition. Dogs have tails they wag, humans have eye whites and emotional attachment to eye movements, even language.

Competition requires 3 things. 1. A win condition 2. A contest 3. Participants. Pretending that equality amongst creatures exists anywhere that an individual can be discerned from the masses is futile. Equality of outcome moves indirectly proportional to freedom or individuality, tautologically. Equality is the enemy of specialization. You can't win a football game with 11 quarterbacks on the field.

The group out performs the individual, its why we're multicellular. It's also why you have natural and other monopolies. Notice the diversity of organs in your body, each good at what they do and little else. Would not equality dictate perhaps you be filled with bladders for the heart has it too good?

Team good. Specialize good. Win competition good. Have fair game to not rob potential winners of chance, good. Force equality down throats so winners lose and losers win. Bad.

Cloud Migration – What You Can Expect in 2017?
The tricky part is to prevent AGI from developing goals of its own. You want it omnipresent and allknowing but dormant, and only react to inputs from the user.

But such thing cannot be tamed. As the AGI is democratized, it's bound to happen that someone somewhere will make it evolve goals.

The future of the human kind will be decided in a great measure by what kind of goals such an AGI will set first.
I guess with everything it's a trade off. I get a lot more functionality than a standard watch but the trade off is once a day I need to stick it on the charger for a few minutes.
This is why I doubt if efforts like OpenAI will ultimately turn out to be beneficial or catastrophic. I understand their purpose of democratizing the power and benefits of AI technology broadly. However, if their platform can provide a critical component or developmental path to AGI in the future, the unrestrained distribution of the technology is similar to spreading the blueprint of nuclear warheads. It could result in an equivalent of nuclear arms race, but worse--because a small team of capable programmers of any rogue organizations could come up with new improvements.

It is true that we are probably quite far from AGI, but nobody really knows how far. We could be closer than most experts think. Few experts in 2006 would expect deep neural networks to beat a Go champion or be able to describe visual scenes in natural language sentences within a decade. Unexpected things happen, and we are much further behind in terms of preventive technology like Friendly AI. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_artificial_intelligen...)

Given the existential risks involved, I would propose more careful handling of the technology. (I agree that opening up most other technologies is usually a positive thing.)

See "Superintelligence" for comprehensive arguments against unfettered development of AGI:

I've left some longer comments elsewhere in this thread about the problems with typical insurers. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit out there, which many of them aren't equipped to take advantage of because of how they're structured, and don't particularly desire to take advantage of anyway. Like I said originally, a lot of insurers are content to look at the average risk, figure out a way to be profitable in spite of it, and call it a day, because the economics of Medicare Advantage have allegedly been "solved" in that sense.

The way I see it, the premise of Clover is asking what would happen if you removed the corporate-organization barriers and the organizational disinclination to do much beyond just processing claims. All those easy preventive-care wins suddenly become real options, for example. And as the insurer you have all the data to identify gaps and potential problems. For example: you know someone has a prescription because you see the pharmacy claims. And you know if they stop filling it because you stop getting claims. That's a potential problem that's easy to identify, and you have the staff to get in touch and find out what happened; maybe it's as simple as finding a pharmacy that's easier for them to get to, or a service that will pick up and deliver without requiring regular trips to the pharmacy. Sometimes it's the complexity of a particular medication regime (especially since often it just comes in the form of written instructions with little context), and clinical staff or pharmacists pharmacists take a look and come up with better explanations and adherence plans.

And really, just the easy obvious stuff is so copious that I suspect it's going to be years before we run out of it and have to worry about trying to come up with new ideas -- it's just that most insurers are not structured to take advantage even of stuff that's known to be helpful for people, so nobody's ever seen what happens when you try.

Still this is an industry entirely living off regulatory capture.

I'm not really sure what you mean by this. I'm not privy to exactly why Clover's in the Medicare space, but my inclination is that it's because Medicare provides a stable, existing and relatively well-known space to operate in, and precisely because of how it's structured and regulated it provides a few things already packaged up that you don't have to bootstrap or which aren't quite as hard to bootstrap. And although it is heavily regulated, I've seen no evidence that the regulatory structure is designed to exclude competitors or preserve existing players; for example, in January of this year, Cigna (hardly a disruptive new player) was hit with sanctions that temporarily remove their ability to enroll new members into their Medicare Advantage plans. Everything I've seen of the regulatory environment is that it's designed to ensure the safety of Medicare enrollees and to push Medicare Advantage insurers to take good care of them.

One way to deal with night time electricity demands is to increase the cost of it. This will push demand to the daytime.

Which could not care less about stuff (if they did they'd live differently and be far more active citizens), but like to signal their concern among friends and on their social media.

The appeal is what Mario has always been to me - gameplay mechanics and level design. I'll concede that this may not be interesting to a majority of people, but Nintendo games have always immersed me due to the consistency of their in game universes. Once you get the controls down, you can apply the lessons to any level, and things just work the way you expect them to. It's a level of intuitiveness that I have not seen anywhere else. Yes, that's replays after the first hour, but that's not an order of magnitude different to game length in the 8/16 bit era.

You are right that there are many ways to play Mario on many different devices, and I'm not arguing that focused gameplay in front of a big tv isn't the best way to play for extended hours, but for ten minutes waiting in a queue or on the subway (when there is an internet connection available - don't get me started on that because I'm not a big enough fanboi to be happy with that situation), it's much more convenient than carrying along a 3DS. I think Nintendo did their homework on how people will play this game. It's accessible enough to play in short bursts, which suits mobile gamers.

I do respect that you don't see any depth in this. That's fine. I know that enjoyment of games is very subjective. I'm biased in that I grew up in the golden era of 8 and 16-bit 2D games, so I'm aware that this type of game has more appeal to me than others. (Nintendo probably knows that my demographic is more likely to convert to a purchase as well, but I digress) I've tried to stay engaged with recent stuff on Playstation, but triple A titles require large time commitments and have lots of grind, and hence don't appeal to me. This does.

I just replied to one of your other comments where I argued that the title was enough to tell you everything you need to know. But I guess I can see how other people wouldn't see it that way.

For me, the fact that it is a game named Super Mario Run, made by Nintendo, for the iphone, instantly tells me that it will be a side scrolling runner-style game featuring Mario in Super Mario Bros style levels, with basic touch controls. In fact it occurred to me that I hadn't verified these assumptions and I just checked out the about page and found that it looks exactly like I expected.

I guess some people make the exact same assumptions I do, and this is totally not obvious to others, hence all of the miscommunication and arguing in this thread.

My question wasn't as much focused on the get go. But if my device was confiscated and we had many months of legal discourse, and I was then compelled to unlock my device, it's entirely possible that I've lost the muscle memory for the code. Now I run the chance of permanently locking the device by just the sheer amount atrophy of password memory.

Anyway, agree that this hypothetical isn't as relevant to this situation, but compelling someone to give up information they don't actually possess seems like the slope this is slipping down.
the performance definitely varies doing this by hand - I guess the current optimizers don't rearrange the code as much as a human can while seeing that it's still equivalent. But sometimes (I'm using LLVM) just rearranging the parentheses to force a different evaluation order makes a difference where I thought it wouldn't have after optimization.
>The biggest reason is that WYSIWYG doesn't really work on the web. What you see on your screen isn't what someone else will see because their monitor is a different size or they are on a mobile device.

Different screen sizes and WYSIWYG use are orthogonals. Any WYSIWYG editor worth its salt has supported media queries, previewing on different screen sizes, breakpoints, etc for ages.
This feels a LOT like the housing bubble bailout (reward those who cashed out, and mostly let off those who bought in when prices were crazy); and really every other bailout and 'major settlement'.

Where's the reward for those who managed to make 'sound' choices despite the playing field being crazy? Even DeVry gets to write down 'bad debt' (though they'd probably sell it off as junk to debt collection agencies).
AI ought to lead to a disruption of the industry.

Currently, the legal industry has managed to entrench itself using technicality which makes it difficult to replicate and leads to very expensive fees. When a software solution comes along - in principle it will be able to scale and therefore charge substantially lower fees while still earning competitive margin as compared to a traditional law firm. This will lead to a democratisation of access to justice.

Think Amazon for retail, Netflix for TV or Spotify for music. (Maybe ignore the part about profits for now...)
>People that understand media queries don't need WYSIWYG editors.

That's wrong, and analogous to saying that people who understand low level programming don't need IDEs.
