How to Optimize App Title and Description for Google Play Store
I was going to say you can be jailed for interfering with a flight crew (and you can), but in this case you'd probably only incur civil penalties (fines).
You don't even need to do that; just stop mining coal, or operating oil and gas fields, or scram the reactors. Or more easily, open some circuit breakers; in a pinch you can take down a few electrical towers (not many).

A rogue AI's "oxygen" is electrical power, which is really kind of fragile. The emergency power for most datacenters won't last more than a few days without replenishing diesel fuel.

For a distributed threat, take out fiber with backhoes. Happens every day now, we just happen to repair it. Stop fixing cuts and it's "Dave, my mind is going...".

Of course you have to deal with the AI making contracts with maintenance crews of its own, and do all this before it hardens its power supplies. But our current infrastructure is definitely not hardened against low to moderate effort.

Most of the cash-rich people i know are not smart at all. They are just conservative and can withhold themselves from impulse spending, and introverts, so they don't need to spend much to hang out with friends, which allowed them to build decent savings and build passive income (mostly by buying residential and commercial property, while that will be different in developed countries).

Most income-rich on the other hand, are smart.
Historically I think so. Even the name hints at 'fair price', and the stores weren't fancy. At least a lot less than monoprix. Maybe they just changer strategy to avoid lowering standards.

The old Microsoft Crypto API (the newer one is better, but still bad)

It's been a few years, but from memory:

IIRC you could e.g. install new keys, but not quite list them (somehow only almost), and you couldn't remove them again.

Amusingly you could also tell the API was developed by three different people, who preferred different API styles (I remember one was fond of callbacks, the others apparently not so much). Reading the documentation was pretty funny because you got pretty good at spotting which functions had been created by Alice, Bob or Charlie. That was the only thing that was fun about it :-)

The premium price is there because people buy it. As simple as that. Peer fucking pressure. (Because no one wants to be the lame duck fiddling with a subpar device, even if the only thing that really SHIES is the polish on the same Intel turd.) Consumerism. It works very well.

You can't do anything extra since ps compiles to is anyway. However you can get all of the advantages of a powerful type system, and far more compile time guarantees.
I find it can be relatively quick to write a prototype that does 90% of what you need with a few critical bugs but to get it finished, mostly bug free and with high quality concise code can take a lot of time. It can take a while to understand the problem fully and understand the common patterns in the code that lets you find the right abstraction that will simplify it all.

I totally agree. But when we have the option to not displace anyone, I prefer that. Nuclear technology is to me at best a transitional technology to fill the gap until solar is ready to take over. And it seems solar kind of is already.

I'm not arguing for taking nuclear reactors offline, but it's not clear to me why we should build new ones if solar is cheaper and cleaner. Of course large scale electricity storage is still an issue for solar, and I can understand solar isn't the best option for cloudy countries, but I do think it's important to look beyond nuclear.
What do you mean doing rendering on the client side?

The browser does the rendering anyway. Or do you mean assembling the HTML to be rendered?

Single Page Apps are very good. GMail is possible because you don't have to reload the whole page and the images every time you click.

It's the "autocomplete" on steroids turned to 11. And it's much easier to implement, because you have state on the client side, and you can implement a simple REST API, which is much easier than maintaining sessions on the backend and implementing a thousand /?q=<method> endpoints. (And can be consumed easily by other clients.)

And these frontend frameworks solve the "browser refreshing" thing for you.

Introducing changes to Angular 1 apps was a bit hard, yes. But compared to the previous jQuery hell, I think the structure that the evil Angular cult forced on people was worth it. And TypeScript and ES6 modules are finally making those things pleasant.

One of the members of our team is in charge of a Mensa group in our city, and he always tells us how difficult is to agree on basic organizational issues, just like in a condo.
I think the article dealt pretty well with risk: you survive by focus finite resources on the X% chance of stopping Y% chances of the near elimination of humanity, not the A% chance of stopping a B% probability of an even worse than the near elimination of humanity event where X is large, Y is a small fraction and the product of A and B is barely distinguishable from zero, despite it getting more column inches most of the rest of the near-neglible probability proposed solutions for exceptionally low probability extinction events put together.

I also tend to agree with Maciej that the argument for focusing on the A probability of B is rescued by making the AI threat seem even worse with appeals to human utility like "but what if, instead of simply killing off humanity, they decided to enslave us or keep us alive forever to administer eternal punishment..." either.

If something is a straw man, you're not going to discover that by looking prima facie.

Like, I could counter this article by saying "this dude thinks evolution has made humans as intelligent as it's possible for anything to be, but there's no reason to think that's so". And prima facie, my argument isn't outlandish. Nevertheless it's a total straw man.

I'd say that it's roughly 20% more expensive than average (at least that's what I see when I compare to a supermarket like Leclerc) but they're well located, easy walking distance from the center of the cities and perfect for people like me who don't want to get into a car to go shopping.

They also have an online delivery service which works really well.

They do tend to have a bit more choice when it comes to fine foods and sell some premium brands like Valrhona that you wouldn't necessarily find in normal supermarkets.

Yes, it did. Cargo had a bunch of features released ahead of time, see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/3282.
It doesn't ignore those examples. The idea pretty much comes from the definition of intelligence used in AI, which (while still messy at times) is more precise than common usage of the world.

In particular, intelligence is a powerful optimization process - it's agent's ability to figure out how to make the world it lives in look more like it wants. Values on the other hand, describe what the agent wants. Hence the orthogonality thesis, which is pretty obvious from this definition. 'idlewords touches on it, but only to try and bash it in a pretty dumb way - the argument is essentially like saying "2D space doesn't exist, because the only piece of paper I saw ever had two dots on it, and those dots were on top of each other".

You could argue that for evolution the orthogonality thesis doesn't hold - that maybe our intelligence is intertwined with our values. But that's because evolution is a dynamic system (a very stupid dynamic system). Thus it doesn't get to explore the whole phase space[0] at will, but follows a trajectory through it. It may be so that all trajectories starting from the initial conditions on our planet end up tightly grouped around human-like intelligence and values. But not being able to randomize your way "out there" doesn't make the phase space itself disappear, nor does it imply that it is inaccessible for us now.

>Also, what happens when the button wears out or malfunctions?

You have multiple buttons, and have marginally longer lines until someone can come to fix it. Or if that would cost you too much in sales, you have a regular maintenance schedule that reduces the chance of failure to acceptable levels. (And still involves far less labour than paying for a cashier all day.)
It is the second major factor after chance.

The transducer is one thing, also the electronics are highly non-trivial, to the extent that it is in my opinion the most complex of the big three medical imaging techniques used.

With CT you have some large mechanical thing, pretty much straightforward X-ray source and image sensor, slight issue with interconnect between the stationary and rotating part (that only has to carry power and digital data) and bunch of software.

With MRI you have large superconducting magnet (which is expensive, but not that complex), few power amplifiers for various coils and relatively low bandwidth RF receiver and then bunch of software.

With ultrasound you have the transducer head, which is connected with specialist flexible multi core RF cable with the frontend. Frontend has to be able to both supply large (essentially RF) power to said transducer and listen back for reflected energy with as little dead time as possible and with as low SNR and wide dynamic range as possible (and typically using the same physical wire to the transducer for both Tx and Rx path), with this whole frontend being replicated few dozen times.
I absolutely think that's a better way to behave. Once I replay/recall a memory a couple of times in my head it becomes as real as the original, eventually more real. I guess I'd favour my odds of being correct closer to the event but overall I just think humans are unreliable overall.
not very much, seems like leading nowhere
which part of the "we need better scifi" slide did you not understand?
It is the second major factor after chance.

"Fortune favors the prepared".

Adaptability (and continuous improvement) is the key, and it is another name for intelligence.
I think these are problems if indeed it turns out that intelligence correlates with goal making and pursuing of said goals, which given the other article on the front page at the moment (that I am totally intelligent enough to link to but also unmotivated to do so) which says that intelligence is not linked to success I just don't know that we can assume that correlation.

Similar reason that CEOs take the $1 salary, purely stock growth mixed with lower taxes and more under the radar to lower their taxable income [1]

Most rich people that are mega wealthy pay minimal tax by taking loans against their foundations/trusts. As you know there are no taxes on loans but a percentage, that may or may not just go right back to them. They essentially use the trusts/loans and the fact that they are essentially zero risk to take out other loans that get interest rates below inflation, sometimes very minimal interest[2]. That is essentially free money. Should the interest rates ever adjust if not fixed they can buy outright quickly.

The same thing happens with trusts/foundations. They have this hoarded money sitting there as a base they can leverage. Yes it is nice some will go to others when they pass but ultimately they would not do this if they could not use this leverage advantage. It is essentially a hack on lowering or even completely removing any taxable income as long as you have it.

Monoprix is in fact a regular small-scale supermarket for inner-city folks; its prices are higher than at huge "marts" such as Leclerc or Auchan, but are aligned with those of other shops in the same segment, like Franprix or Carrefour Market.

They print little puns on the packaging of their own products.

Libertarians are not universally against taxation or Government involvement at large, it's a pretty wide umbrella.

Musk can also be seen as a libertarian but he does advocate for social programmes like UBI which have to be provided through taxation.

Most libertarians I know are not universally against taxation, they are against double taxation and would prefer to tax corporation and consumption at higher rates rather than individual labor.

Libertarianism is primarily about the role of the government within the life of an individual and about maximizing the agency an individual holds over their own life; It doesn't mean that an ideal libertarian society would have no taxes; If anything most libertarians would rather pay higher local taxes to offset lower national taxation because they have more agency in determining on what and how their money is being spent on.

Libertarians don't want anarchy, they are fully aware that roads, schools, police, firefighters, EMT's the military and for most of them even hospitals and much more have to be publically funded, and the only way to do it is through taxation.
