I haven't had time to read the entire thing, so I've skimmed over lots, but there doesn't seem to be much mention of complexity theory in the way I believe idlewords is talking about.

I'm very curious: What happens if the algorithms for general artificial intelligence, and the ability for an AI to improve itself are all NP-Hard problems? Is that covered?

It might be similar to the "intelligence combustion" scenario outlined. But that appears to be a scenario where do not need to be fearing superintelligence.

Are you seeing more adoption in any number that isn't a vanity metric(number of wallets/accounts) or intentionally vague "revenue is up! (from where to where?)". Traffic across all the bitcoin social groups/forums is still dropping month over month. No vendor outside the darknet is seeing growth in sales(or really any sales). Even the remittance people are simultaneously claiming they are having fantastic success while wondering why they aren't having fantastic success(see coindesk article on it.

It would absolutely possible to train neural nets to use speeches and interviews of politicians and powerful people to suggest likely canditates for sociopathy and other fun things. The trouble is that those people would not submit to actual clinical diagnosis, and even if they did, nothing useful would come of it. Failing to even think in such directions, and instead pondering how to treat small fish even more like lab rats, that can't be the way.
I never submit political stories (unlike the people I reply to) and do comment on technical topics and provide insight when I have expertise in the area, such as the recent discussion on linux malware. Next!

I didn't say "black people are criminals" at all. I merely said the OP's comments logically did not make sense and provided two counterpoints where their idea did not hold water. Give me a break, you're the racist, seeing "race baiting" where there is none.

Maybe the discrepancy could be explained by lead paint, solar flares, or something else, which is why I didn't propose any causes! Especially not "black people are criminals" QUOTED. I never said that at all. YOU subconsciously created the idea that black people are criminals and tried to project that onto my simple comment. Get a brain!!
It could very well be an honest mistake. Maybe whomever named it was trying to find the network on their Note 7.

This is a common misconception. Most (balance sheet, not "appear to be") rich people are self made, and first generation rich. Kids of rich parents tend to just blow their inheritance away quickly.
> If at least two masters have played a move in tournament situation, then the move must be playable! So that's how it works now.

Considering how much Stockfish is stronger than those masters, those moves could be really wrong despite being playable in human vs human games.

It's not an internal problem. It's how some US start-up companies are working in Vietnam, and it's also a problem in Vietnam laws system that hasn't any strict rules for FDI companies.

I just checked into my Flight, UA2, from Singapore to San Francisco (SIN->SFO). Traditionally when checking in to this flight, I'm asked questions about sharp objects, has anyone given me anything to carry, did i pack my bag, has my bag been under my control. This time, the security person had one, and only one question (That's actually what he said, "I only have one question for you" - They held up a sheet of paper with "Galaxy Note 7" on it, and asked me if I had one in my possession, either checked or carry on luggage. That's it, that's all they cared about.

They really don't want those phones on planes in any form.
I work on a much bigger project and we use that method (unity builds) - it helps for full builds and on small projects, but it makes incremental changes very slow on bigger projects.

Uber's attracted a lot of attention over how it issues stock, because as the largest private unicorn, there are billions of dollars of wealth currently locked up in illiquid stock held by employees who would prefer to sell it.

With all this pressure building up in the kettle, it spills over from time to time into lawsuits like this one.

It's worth remembering that starting in 2013, Uber started blocking secondary stock sales and sometime in 2015 shifted from issuing options to RSUs. This had two effects beneficial to Uber: it created golden handcuffs for early employees, and prevented Uber from being subject to SEC disclosure requirements as the number of shareholders expanded.

Uber's practices on stock options are fairly unique in several aspects:

* a 30-day exercise window if you leave (even shorter than the much-disliked 90-day windows!)

* restricted "trading windows" where employees can only exercise options during four or five months of the year. Mixed with a short exercise window, this can be poisonous, imagine if you left the company and couldn't exercise your options before you left. This happened to a friend of mine at a now-public company; he lost about a hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

* the ability to early exercise stock (eg, before it has vested), starting six months into an employee's tenure.

Uber's main counterargument is that the plaintiff is a sophisticated individual (Stanford Law grad, experienced engineer), and he should have been aware that early exercising more than $100,0000 worth of ISO-type stock options converted them to NSOs.

This is probably true, but if an engineer with a law degree screwed this up, imagine what's happening to everyone else.

Well, if you have a FHSS frequency hopper, you could jam on all the channels except the one you are talking on at that instant (for 50ms or however long you hop). That would make the spectrum unusable by anyone except you. (It's also why regulatory bodies have strict rules on how long (and short) you can idle on a channel, how you have to hop through all channels before transmitting a second time on one, etc...)

Hey, welcome to the club! I loved reading your comment and feel more connected now. Ah, the social webs of hacker news, can't beat it. Except I say stupid shit sometimes and get downvoted to oblivion. Let me tell you something... There is no place you can move to cure what you have. Sorry.

It's more general term for all welfare. Not just black people.
I'm not single, but you're right about the kids. In my world view having a kid is similar to an 18 year prison sentence.
it would have been much funnier if they just kept going with the bit and said something like: "and check out your groceries like a normal human being you imbecile."
Except they don't "literally" explode. They catch on fire and melt, if you think that fits the definition of explode I have some fireworks that I would like to sell to you.

I own my own business and the company is worth some millions of dollars, so I am "rich" though by American standards, not really. My salary is rather low for being the founder. My partner has an equally low salary. Some employees make more than me.

I was formerly a data scientist with a salary 2x of what my current one is. I was miserable.

Today, I love work. I create things. I have two kids and a wife and she stays home with them and does actual tough work. I wear clothes from companies we partner with (sports science, so lots of universities give us free stuff) and company-logoed clothes only. I don't have expensive hobbies. My wife gets all of my money and I invest things at home like Blue Apron, a house cleaner, day care, etc, to make family life better.

Having a job I love and a company that fulfills my vision negated all need for tangible things in my life. When I was actually "rich" in regards to salary, liquid money, I was consumed by stuff. It was terrible.

Life's good now. I want for nothing expensive. I make this comment to tell you that you may be able to have both if your work is something that you truly enjoy.
Snowden has done important work, but only by making an example of him will the state ensure anyone who entertains similar thoughts knows the cost of exposing wrong doing.

You essentially have to give up your life like Snowden has and for those with kids and family this might be a price too high.

The media, commentators and assorted vested interests are old hands at dismissing concerns that do not fit an agenda as 'conspiracy theories' so the importance and rarity of 'the smoking gun' that Snowden produced cannot be underestimated. And as a side effect he exposed the galling hypocrisy and pretension of Europe as the enlightened refuge for dissentors and the 'orchestration' of the global media with it.

The only way to address the fallout is 'normalization'. And it seems the narrative is the world is such a dangerous place that total surveillance is essential, never mind our security forces and foreign policy is directly involved in propping up terorrist funders and groups.

And this narrative is being expaned daily. We should realise the state is supposed to represent our interests and the only endame for such unaccountable and powerful security services is eventually our supression.
I wanted kids. I believe your statement is still correct. In my case I subjected myself to prison because of biology ruling over my logical processing unit. Humanity goes on as a result of that, I am quite sure of it. :)
This kind of description can be made of any hardware piece. We came from a whole room, slow computer to an iPhone that can make billions of operations per second. I see the previous post as complaining about this not happening on the industry.

Of course making an iPhone (or a OnePlus phone if you want to get into low-scale) is not easy, but the technology has advanced and standardized enough to be considered "cheap" for what they offer, and really cheap compared with 10-20 years ago.

Why hasn't that happened with ultrasounds? Certainly most of the components have been around for a while and the process of making a "simple one" (in the way the average smartphone is simple ) should be a solved problem.
That sounds like appeles to oranges. The issue with rotorblades is that they're made of a composite that we at best can turn into a building material. We cannot currently break it down to it's components, nor can we do that with the down cycled material. That is in sharp contrast to the vast majority of household waste which we can break down and recycle, or just safely burn it.
In no way have I ever claimed that conservation of momentum is violated. I've specifically disclaimed that fact - with the caveat that dice are played constantly on a galactic scale, and anything is stochastically possible will eventually occur - even if it's probable at 10^-100 like Bi-209. I also happen to think that smaller molecules may also decay, and that you just haven't happened to observe enough single-particle data to observe an event that occurs at 10^-1000. Sue me.

There's ZREP [1]. It uses the snapshots feature of ZFS, which can send them over the network, to continually (but asynchronously) mirror the local filesystem to a remote machine.

It seems to provide exactly the features required (fast local access with failover), at the expense of a window of lost data (since the replication isn't synchronous and confirmed).

If you create your own shared object files and do not install them in /usr/lib, then you need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that the runtime linker can find them and load them at run time.

A better approach would be to use the $ORIGIN linker keyword (-R works in gcc by special dispensation for compatibility with every other linker in existence, and is portable, as opposed to -rpath):

gcc -L/home/newhall/lib -R'$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/../lib' -lmine -o myprog myprog.c

because unfortunately the $ORIGIN keyword includes the $, to embed it effectively into Makefiles and shell scripts, the following is needed in the environment:

O='$$O'; export O
ORIGIN='$ORIGIN'; export ORIGIN

this way, both shell and make will expand $ORIGIN to $ORIGIN, without the need to recursively escape anything. $ORIGIN linker keyword is supported by GNU ld, Solaris / illumos ld, and HP-UX's ld.

Also, unless one is an operating system vendor, one may not install anything into /usr, as that is the vendor's namespace and having a clash with the vendor could bring one's production down in case of upgrades, were the vendor to deliver the same software. The System V and LSB FHS specifications state that /opt is for 3rd party and unbundled applications, /etc/opt for configuration, and /var/opt for data.

Unfortunately, the essay says nothing about library interface versioning with linker map files, for backward compatibility, so that one single shared object library can be used by all versions of the consuming software simultaneously.
I get that, but my friends are starting to have kids and I'm rather looking forward to being their crazy uncle and teaching them how to solder and take things apart etc. I love kids, I just don't want to be the one primarily responsible for them

A good proxy is market demand. If Apple releases an iPhone and 1bn people buy it they served the needs of at least 1bn people.

Of course, a whole lot of poor people (probably the other 5/6 bn) won't be affected immediately but some years later they also start benefitting and today it's almost a (used) 100$ laptop per child equivalent (except for the poorest).

You can argue the same way about mpesa, bitcoin and other innovations/products.

I wonder if intelligence and propensity-to-learn gaps are major causes of social isolation among us here. I feel that they are two of the most important factors affecting my social life, from childhood up to now. The times I felt less socially isolated had always been when I studied or worked among some of the more intelligent and eager-to-learn people. And it gets more pronounced as I grow more mature and have spent more time learning and thinking.

I found this out a few years ago and thought it might be pertinent to my situation:
“Observation shows that there is a direct ratio between the intelligence of the leader and that of the led. To be a leader of his contemporaries a child must be more intelligent but not too much more intelligent than those to be led… But generally speaking, a leadership pattern will not form—or it will break up—when a discrepancy of more than about 30 points of IQ comes to exist between leader and led [1]

I grew up in a developing country with inadequate educational system, to put it mildly. I have always done well academically, ranking top 10 nation-wide in two middle school exams. I got impatient and skipped two years of high school to attend a local college, which is considered a 'good' one. (I picked it for personal reasons, while having the 'national entrance exam' score high enough to pick the top university in the country.) I became increasingly aware of how much most people think differently in those years, as I could ace most analytical tests without putting much efforts and my friends struggled. We remained good friends but we shared few interests and not much in common intellectually. (I can perform most other activities, like sports or dance, fairly well given the little amount of time I spend on them, but I find most of them boring.)

Then I got a scholarship to study in a top 10 CS graduate departments in the US. I found out that there are many more people who share my interests and we can interact on equal terms intellectually. I moved back to the country after graduation and started to suffer social isolation again.

I dated someone who is a bit above average in intelligence but did not have the patience to explain everything so we parted away soon after. I had since have trouble finding people who I can be myself with in most respects intellectually and can explain my thought process concisely and get them to give interesting responses back in turn. For friends, it's not as big a problem since we usually don't have to see each other that often; but for dates, I think it might be a problem after a while. (Please let me know if and why you disagree. It would be helpful.)

Earlier this year, I went back to live for a few months in a very intellectual city with a top university in the US and felt like I could connect with people around me again. Unfortunately, it will take quite a bit of efforts to move there permanently.

If anyone has a differing perspective and interpretation that I have, please comment here. I'd love to connect better with the 'intellectually average' people as well.

I cannot fault you. Most days I wonder why I decided to have kids. I realize that I didn't decide it in any sort of logical manner that implies normal decision-making. If I went purely on logic and rational thought, I certainly wouldn't have done it. Alas, that wasn't in the cards. I wouldn't take it back, but I tell everyone who is on the fence about having kids to very strongly reconsider if they want to go through with it.

On its face, it's an incredibly dumb choice. But biology wins out, sometimes..
LiChess is one of the most amazing hosted platforms out there, it's very fast, it has a minimalistic design, it has no ads and does the thing that it does very well.

Furthermore they sympathetically state:
"Lichess mobile is developed and translated to 80 languages by volunteers. Just like the website, it's 100% free forever, and there will never be advertisements. This is humanist software, made open source for the love of chess and user freedom."

But there are two things on my wishlist 1) make the website work off-line 2) new variant to change the chess rules to accommodate a smaller board 5x6, 4x5 or 6x6 for even shorter games.
This line of thinking begs the question of whether consciousness is some special thing in nature. You only have to look for an explanation if you think there is something to explain.

If I start from the assumption that I am mistaken about what I think consciousness is--that maybe it doesn't exist at all the way I think it does--then I don't have to worry about how matter gives rise to it. I can focus instead on trying to understand where my definition went wrong.

Humans have never lacked for opinions or explanations about what natural things are, or how they got that way. But in the practice of science, these must yield before empirical evidence.

As you note, there is a huge amount of evidence that consciousness is physical. But there is no objective evidence that I experience consciousness as you define it. You just have to take my word for it--and so do I. But maybe I'm wrong.
4 types of software testing
This is a common misconception. Most of the self-made / "first generation" rich came from households that weren't poor to begin with. Bill Gates, for example, had a trust fund from his grandfather that gave him a cushion in case he failed. That gave some freedom for him to take calculated risks.

What you find is that you need the freedom to be able to take a risk and fail. If you come from a household living paycheck to paycheck and just barely scraping by, you start off with a very risk averse mentality and never really escape it. When the big opportunity shows up, if you were risk averse your entire life it is unlikely that you will take the shot.
