Does this count? It's just a query about updates on something YC posted on HN themselves. Seems allowed to me.
Why would FV2 protect me from DMA attacks on machines that are essentially self built off the shelf parts?

Hint: it probably won't.
Never mind that it even today is way down the list of probable attack scenarios for most personal computers.
> the idea of us being "captains of this Spaceship Earth" is laughable when you look at the fact that we've wiped out an incredible amount of species.

Well, no one said we were good captains...

In fact, Captain Joseph Hazelwood comes to mind.
I agree with that statement.

But a detail: it will not be 'streamlined'. Those government workers are not going anywhere.

It's worth an experiment, though.
I can't wait until drones and other autonomous deliveries are available because maybe people will start getting their packages when they are supposed to.

For example I ordered a small package from Amazon last week. I don't order a lot from Amazon but when I do, there seems to always be delays and problems.

They guaranteed it by yesterday but it's still not here and isn't scheduled to be delivered for another 2 days putting it 4 days past the "guaranteed" delivery time.

This was standard shipping which is treated in the same way as free shipping in terms of delivery times.

Reason? Who knows, all I know is it was very likely a human error out of my control.

- Amazon's dashboard tells me I requested an address change even though I didn't.

- Amazon's phone rep tells me the USPS screwed up by delivering it to the wrong zone's post office.

- USPS tells me Amazon tends to ship things in pallets of 100 parcels and the pallet for my zone was filled so they put it into a different pallet (clearly knowing it would delay the package).

- USPS won't compensate me (I was put into a 30min 3 way conversation with Amazon, USPS and myself).

- Amazon updates me today saying the item has been dropped from tracking and is tagged as "lost in transit".

- USPS tells me the package is on the other side of the state I'm in (NY).

- Amazon said they will ship a new item out with 2 day delivery which doesn't help me get the item when it was supposed to arrive.

I understand that every single US govt ran service tends to be horrendous in terms of efficiency and quality but Amazon is supposed to be one of the most efficient platforms in the world.

I'm guessing this entire issue was due to some over worked warehouse employee just saying "fuck it" and threw my box into the wrong pallet but a robot would haven't made this mistake and a drone would have likely gotten to my residence a few hours after ordering instead of closer to 11-12 days.
Philosophers have come up with a long string of traits which supposedly separate us from the animals, and they have a very poor track record:

"Animals can't recognize themselves in a mirror"

"Animals can't use tools"

"Ok, but animals can't make a plan to go get a tool and use it"

"Animals can't make tools" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYZnsO2ZgWo)

… and so it goes on. My impression at this point is that scientists are spending time patiently disproving these theories only because philosophers are so far off track in suggesting them to begin with.
I am reminded of an article I read years ago (sorry, no reference) about a low income family in Chicago (I think) during the Reagan era. The family had saved up a bit of money to send their kid to college, but some bureaucratic org found out. It was responsible for handling their benefits and because the total amount of assets the family had was over an acceptable limit, they cut out _all_ benefits to the family. Till the bank account went down to acceptable levels.

Way to go towards helping people help themselves, encouraging middle class values, responsibility, yadda yadda, all the usual stuff Republicans blather about but don't actually care about.
Assume the physical universe takes the form of a set of axiomatic systems whose statements are elementary particles and whose interactions are logical operations; i.e., metals in the presence of ions will form salts. Matter creates the gravitational interaction as a function of mass.

Why do we assume the theories are unifiable?
Am I missing something here? What about bread, cheese, and tomatoes? Even the Strawberries/Chocolate/Brie example in the article would not sound horrible to some people — I've had chocolate with cheese on many occasions.
That is jumping from one extreme to another.
Just to throw my two cents into the mix. The idea of being able to _query_ a single key in a SQL-like fashion is interesting, but I can't think of a production implementation that would be useful enough.

Instead, I'd look at using redis in front of something like MySQL so some operations go to redis and other right to the server.

Having to write SQL statements as redis EXECs isn't elegant IMO.
I don't think we do. The only evidence I have that other people are conscious is by analogy; because I assume that whatever conscious is, I am, and other people seem like me.
Not many places/regions are as advanced and have as a high quality of life and high percentage of educated citizens as Europe, so no. At this moment in time, not really.
Uhh I think to get unemployment you have to be laid off (fired through no fault of your own). I'm not sure how you think he's getting paid 1/2 his current salary if he's fired, that sounds like $0.
Maybe sending emails to the researchers and posting their answers here could be more efficient.
Why don't they just ease/remove the limitations on the current program?
The point is that it's an equivalent workflow. It doesn't make the process of developing worse if you're used to those tools so why does it matter if it's 100% local?

We can assume if it's working for them then network connectivity isn't an issue (which is isn't for most of us, most of the time).
I predict the opposite. It will succeed and will be adopted by all developed nations within 50 years.
I'd suspect they likely do reduce drug deaths and fraud, though. Their escrow and reputation systems guarantee that the vast majority of drug sales are pure products and at the correct dosage listed.
Just compare the typical process for deploying a Jekyll website vs. the "one-click-installer" most hosting providers have for WordPress.
I think in this scenario it seems fair to post a question. What's the alternative, write a blog article asking the same and post a link to that instead?

I'm also interested in a status update given some recent news posted on HN about Finland experimenting with the same ideas.
I agree that it isn't the One True Lisp, because there will never be one. Clojure is just a nice, modern lisp with some ideas I really like at the core of it's design.

I don't really care about having conses the way CL has them, and seqs feel like a very nice abstraction over the concept, though I also tend to use the idiomatic map-heavy style anyway.

Clojurescript has the staged macro issue, but JVM Clojure doesn't.

I wouldn't even say that Clojure has an object system, and wouldn't want one. Lacking TCO is a shame.
The Economist is also one of the most strongly opinionated magazines currently being published. Almost every article says, quite loudly, what they think governments should be doing with whatever problem they're describing. Whereas the NY Times, for example, is much more understated, and will, if they offer a solution (or opinion) at all, outline the various pros/cons and leave the reader to infer what they really think.

While I like The Economist a lot, my preferred source of reporting and analysis on news, culture and politics is The New York Review of Books. Their stable of superb, intellectual writers tackle all sorts of things (books, ironically, being pretty far down on the list) in a highly readable way. The Economist can get a little dry and monotonous after a while.
Then why do i keep seeing orgs run on basic of "units shipped" when it makes zero sense to do so?
Do understand that when people object to price they are mostly ready to buy. By providing them with more than one pricing option you can get around the obstacle. The issue lies in making it expensive enough so that you dont get annoying cheap users. Make sure to remove support from the lowest priced option. :)

I built www.thehivemind.online using the google suggestion apis, for a bit of fun.

It vaguely reminds me of this planned cooperative British rail service: http://go-op.coop/

Go-Op aims to run passenger owned trains in competition with franchises granted by the government to conventional profit-distributing businesses.

As far as I know, its trains haven't yet started running, but I'm pleased to see that it hasn't been abandoned, especially in light of Southern Rail's troubles.
You got it backwards though; all the name means is the subroutine has multiple entry points for suspending and resuming execution, which can be used to implement nonpreemptive threads, generators and other abstractions.

The Syrian war has been nothing but another one of the USA's oil wars, with the USA FUNDING, ARMING and TRAINING TERRORISTS (Tulsi Gabbard just proposed the Stop Funding Terrorism Act, check it out), all so that Qatar could have a pipeline built from Saudi Arabia to Turkey, with the blessing of the Obama administration, and you find that China is characterized by corruption and opportunism?

Throwing stones around while you're living in a glass house aren't you? Have you even seen the CORRUPT people that Donnie-Tiny-Hands-the-Swamp-Monster has appointed to his cabinet?
Knowing where to use `subscribe` (vs pure components) is an art and something that gets easier/clearer as you understand the app better. I'm happy to take responsibility for that aspect of the architecture though; the library's role is to provide the operations and patterns I might want. And if further generalizable patterns evolve, those can be turned into a higher level library.
I absolutely agree this is propaganda, but I think there is a meaningful distinction about the degree this is done in China vs here. America cannot completely censor something internally, because we have no great firewall, despite being able to practically do it for millions relying on facebook. And that is a meaningful difference, the difference between some and almost none. We cannot make a political dissidents life as hard as it is in china, with originizations like the ACLU, and that too is a meaningful difference of degree.

The goals of the organizations doing these things are not always aligned either, since many of them do have to maintain consumer trust they aren't always on the same page as the government, and that's a meaningful friction that doesn't exist AFAICT in China.

I hope Americans don't get cynical enough to discredit that we have more rights and they are worth fighting for, because it could always get far worse.
Yeah, he had the potential for a lot of public support but squandered it when evidence of the hits came out. (And the evidence looks very convincing to me.)

An argument can be made for SR's value to humanity. But he was a megalomaniacal asshole with shitty opsec, and he got what he deserved. Running a large "enterprise" doesn't give you the right to play dice with people's lives.

I don't know why people still believe that boycotts and individual consumer decisions are effective strategy for such things. All the evidence is against this. I suppose it's the propaganda of the "free market" and such.

If a market were as the simplistic theory describes, all the drivers would be
completely independent, set their own terms, and all product manufacturers
would negotiate with all the drivers and all the consumers would negotiate etc.
It would be totally inefficient and impractical, but we'd have actual
competition and supply/demand etc.

Reality is Amazon is a massive organization with a top-down power structure and
massive power inequities. Consumers are individual people with no comparable
organizational power. The idea that each individual consumer should make
decisions that mediate the power of the massive corporation is a farce.

It's been my finding that experienced MS SQL developers tend to hire out at a much greater cost than experienced MySQL developers... MS SQL Standard also starts at $3,700+ USD per core (and a minimum purchase of 4 core license, I believe), with a yearly SA fee on top of that. You could use Express, but it's missing many features - SQL Agent for instance.
Whould it make more or less sense if it were just for food?
Agreed. This seems like the right way to ask for updates. Especially since other people would like to know too.
The worst part of the unemployment benefit in Finland is not even the losing assistance if you take some job for a time. In the long run the payment will even out at least a little bit. It's the short run cash flow problem that really stops people from taking a job, as the jobseeker's allowance is cut immediately upon the employment office learning of someone having a job.

It's already a problem that the benefits are such that net income from an actual job may be negative. But even with that, people might take a temporary job to get the experience. But they cannot afford it, because getting a job cuts the benefit payment instantly, and they can't afford to wait the time that it takes the bureaucracy to resume payments.

Receivers tend to be built with augmentation systems. This uses a network of ground stations that measure the variation in the GPS signal and transmit corrections over an additional satellite. This helps the device account for atmospheric interference.

Meanwhile, zillions flee China every year for 'The West'.

'The West' is doing amazingly fine, thanks very much.

China is still poorer than Mexico, per capita, the air is unbreathable in many places, the system is entirely corrupt and totalitarian.

It was nice to see China come out of the dark ages, but since about, say ... 2010 it's been moving backwards.
The correct word would be "enforcing" it.
The benefits of Galileo are very clear for me as an EU taxpayer.

Don't rely on GPS because it is controlled by a single country and that country can shut it down whenever it likes.

No country is your friend forever, you only have to look at the Trump administration. It takes 1 election and everything can swing in the wrong direction.
This is (partially) meant to be used for chips that don't exist. As future instructions are made public software vendors (like compiler vendors) can use this to be ready when the chips come out day 1.
Yes it's basically a credit.

I think all non-business deductions should go away and turn them into fixed credits (vanishing most of them entirely). Right now two homeowners each with $1000 in deductible mortgage interest, have different tax liability reductions if they're at different tax brackets. The one in the higher bracket actually ends up with a greater reduction in tax for the same deduction. And so on.
Unemployment is not quite going to be half of parent salary. More like 1/5 to 1/3 if they're lucky.
Same way you monetize anything: it depends.
yeah its a little bit counter intuitive, I would think that it would not be financially stable to have the entire income of a population given to them. Rather it could be a lesser amount of money that would assist, rather than replace their current income.
As you define it.

I define UBI as having a floor on people's income, where the government ensures everyone is above that floor. So it's universally ensuring everyone had a basic income.
>> My father makes so much money that when he's unemployed he actually doesn't really look for a job that urgently

I doubt this is a typical situation of someone on unemployment benefits.
I wouldn't say that Taylorism is why those workers succeeded.

I'd say that those workers were successful in spite of Taylorism. Don't fall into the trap in thinking that just because a methodology was applied, that it contributed to success.

The best evidence I can give in support of this is Deming:

I'd assumed that Finland had a really strong welfare system like Norway and Sweden.
Will they? I think that social capital will be worth more than the money because it's what keeps the men-with-guns on your side. If they are serious about making it hard for the "discredited to take a single step" then how angry the government is at you is a good predictor of you ability to pay.
If you are talking about the incentive for a bank to defect and lend to people who could repay but have a poor score, that would be very interesting, but I am not sure I see how likely that is to be a real arbitrage opportunity if everyone else is on the same page as the government re: the score.

> When has an AI shown capability of "iterating" in this way?

Many times, actually. It's just that until quite recently, this approach (of applying ML to the problem of devising improved ML systems) has been prohibitively expensive in terms of time and resources compared to the human-powered ML research approach. The lowest-level version of this is hyperparameter optimization, but higher-order versions are known to have been deployed already.
The chinese want this. They have no problem understanding the logic of: There are so many people in China, how are we otherwise going to prevent crimes.
It's the same explanation for everything bad that the government over there does.
I have talked to dozens of chinese people about this, always same answers.
However, the fact is, words often can hurt more than physical violence.

The institution of "Social Credit" could easily become an apparatus of social coercion indistinguishable from the Truck Token systems.

An individual not behaving according to the interests of the group would face starvation and homelessness for not adhering to certain social norms. It would be trivial to enforce beliefs (no matter how odd or antihuman) through this apparatus. Under a currency system driven by public opinion, survival becomes a matter of "Obey or Die."

In such a system, existence is analogous to slavery.

This is not an advocation for lawlessness, but rather for the continued use of currency and the independence of the financial organ from the whims of human opinion. The human mind is subject to ongoing cognitive and social distortion. Currency independent of these factors is a mitigating measure against human cruelty.

A strong social benefit system and the show of empathy in which one is anchored is a stronger mitigation against antisocial behaviour than the Social Credit concept.
Preservation of stack data is done by comparing addresses of stack allocated values and using memcpy to copy the space in between. That's the most straight forward solution I could come up with. I'm still working on a way to track the variables automagically, which is why the optimization level is set to 0 for now; looks like I might end up having to add a third macro for preserved vars.
I agree. The implementation here will still enable us to learn about some aspects of UBI. The question of how benefits affect the motivation to gain re-employment will still need to be studied in further experiments.

I think it's worth celebrating that Iceland is doing controlled tests to explore this way. To really understand the best design for UBI, we need more of this.

What about a self driving car that, when it is not operational and is just sitting in the garage with its sensors turned off, replays scenarios from the past, creates fictional scenarios loosely or directly based on those experiences, and so on, so as to better organize and refine its data and decision making logic? Gaining additional experience without actually driving on roads.

Basically dreaming, at least in a functional sense. Does that mean it is conscious?

(and what if that same car, when operational and passing a reflective store window, can identify the reflection of itself as being itself, as opposed to being another car?)
this is almost certainly illegal, but they paid someone to look the other way, because it's cheaper, and faster (and hence more dangerous/problematic) to do it this way.
That's basically a negative income tax.

That is, if you make below a certain amount, the government gives you money until your income reaches some base level.
