Probably not. Here's one way it could easily play out:

There's still demand for those people, and so they'll keep coming (and especially if by various means we contribute to wrecking the Mexican economy!), but they'll be pushed further towards the margins of society, and will be easier to exploit.

Look at this, for instance: http://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2017/02/15/ice-detains... - woman takes domestic violence to the courts, but gets detained herself. What will the next woman to be beaten or raped do? Probably not go to the cops.

You had me at "laundry folding robot". Where do I sign up?

I think the point that I'm not really understanding is where the commodity-level multipurpose robots come from. It's one thing to take an existing Toyota Camry and trick out it's computer systems with deep learning and advanced algorithms and sensors. It's another thing entirely to have multipurpose robots everywhere that can replicate not only some degree of low level human intelligence but also key human physical characteristics (senses, dexterity, strength, etc.)

I am sure (and really hope) that we get there soon but it seems like a 2 or 3 decades away at a bare minimum.
I don't think precognition in Story Of Your Life/Arrival should be seen as a "power" - and certainly not one that Louise can choose to discard. The Heptapod perspective, which Louise gains, is "timeless": there is perfect symmetry between past and present, and therefore no free will (or if there is free will, then it must be a very strange kind of free will from our perspective, since one's choices affect the past just as they affect the future). Louise can no more change the future than you and I can change the past: it simply is.

> now that I know
> the future, I would never act contrary to that
> future, including telling others what I know.

I think this should be read as "I could never act contrary to that future". She knows the future, unlike Paul Atreides who lives in a very different universe and knows only one of many possible futures. That her daughter will die in a climbing accident is as immutable as the fact that I was born where I was born. I struggle to even contemplate what it would mean for me make choices now that affect my past; it is the same for Louise with respect to the future.

The difference between the universe of Story Of Your Life and a generic deterministic universe is that in Story Of Your Life free will is not an illusion; it exists, but it can only be experienced from a certain perspective, which is complementary to the timeless perspective.

Very possibly there is a third perspective in this universe which is also equally valid. We could have a sequel (Departure?) where we meet the aliens do exactly what I struggle to imagine: they can observe only the future, and their choices affect only the past.

57,000 employees does not equal 57,000 engineers, by the way. Google has a lot of people that do things other than code.

The idea that you can be objectively better or not better at programming, and that it's decidable through one or two simple factors is kinda wrong and goes with OP's point.

Read some of the response and it's what I expected, fast hiring rate make tenure number artificially low. That's true at most large tech companies right now, they've grown massively in the past 5 years.
I think the difference is obedience (to whatever world view exuding from whatever real or imagined authority figures) and drawing self worth (or, more realistically, constant background fear) from that, and being grounded as a person and having opinions about things which one is free to re-inspect and change without losing anything. It doesn't matter so much what people think but why they think it, or rather, if they think or parrot it.
It's a shame people have this view. They don't seem very interested in the actual facts of the matter either, judging by the reaction to the other post I made on this topic.

I agree with your former argument/question, but this applies to a small fraction of people on both sides, but unfortunately causes us to paint with a broad brush.

As to free speech, I assume you are talking about people like Milo, to which I will say that he has never had his free speech violated. Free speech is not an entitlement to a forum, it is a right that guarantees that the government will not interfere with your speech, but even that has some limitations.

> It's no secret that jailbroken phones are less secure

There is no evidence that jailbroken or rooted users have resulted in any significant compromises.

At least in the Android world, you must still approve any application which wants root access and rooting your phone allow you to gain access to some pretty impressive security tools you otherwise wouldn't have available to you. Generally speaking, users who are rooted or jailbroken are sophisticated enough to handle this on their own - and often use it to improve their security, not damage it.

"stop feeding people an endless stream of ad-stuffed trash media selected by an algorithm maximizing for clickbait factor and nothing else".

I'm not sure if this is the core of the problem, if at all. Most of what you see on facebook are links shared by your network. If your "friends" are sharing and re-sharing clickbait fake news, you see clickbait fake news. This is evident in groups on whatsapp where there is no algorithmic intervention and it is still an endless stream of misinformation (in most diverse groups). This also mirrors real world echo chambers.

If you do have have some suggestions for solving this problem, it would be great to discuss here.
That's not completely correct. During the 1999 Kargil War either Pakistan invaded India or vice versa (depending on where you believe the legitimate border lies). Both countries had atomic weapons as of 1998.

These are both important. I think the Esquire take (figure out what the people who go to rally's are after) has more coverage than Sam's, but the tension is super fascinating.

Most people I know who voted for Trump are unsettled by the extreme populist rhetoric. You can see it in the answer's Sam got. They tend to discount what they hear on TV covers when they're justifying a stance, either because the media is biased, or because every candidate has unpleasant supporters, etc.

He means dev agencies that contract for projects. Agencies act as general contractors, augment your staffing, or provide consulting services. Agencies build whole or partial products, often times for stuff that you use on a daily basis. For example, there's an agency with relationships with many YCombinator companies and builds most of their mobile app or web apps.

> When data comes in over the wire, you probably shouldn't be making assumptions about what's nullable.

I have to work with their APIs often (as well as Amazon, Facebook and a couple other big players, they're all equally awful).

Their documentation will tell you a type is an integer and will never be null. They will do this for 3 months, and then change it to send a string that can be nullable or empty string, without telling you or updating API versions. It goes beyond robustness. It's the "BigCorp will actively lie to you in their documentation" principle.
The bigger problem is that your browser let it without your permission.

I think the same. (Actually the title sounds like running Windows on Linux ;)) I'll be curious what happens - somehow I'm thinking they would be pretty stupid to do that. There is so much high end engineering and design software running on Windows only, they'd loose them all. On the other hand...does anyone need Windows except in the grey and boring high end/office section?

As a matter of fact, people are moving away since some time, either to Linux, macOS ooooor iOS/Android (haha). I guess even by economical means removing that lock-in may make sense.

This is disappointing. I've used GSS on many of my ecommerce sites, and I've always appreciated being able to allow site visitors to take advantage of Google's advanced search algorithm within my own site.

Now it looks like the only option is to use an ad-supported search engine from Google, which would encourage people to leave your website and possibly go to a competitor.

Isn't there a better option?

That may be true, but I think you have to look at it from the perspective of someone that feels defeated, left behind by the system, helpless to make a difference. Someone in that frame of mind doesn't think that a single vote has any hope of standing in the way of the freight train. For most people one person can't make a difference against the system. That's why whenever you stand up to try you get so many people telling you not to bother, it won't make a difference, you're just one man, what could you expect to achieve? I've lived in towns where this mentality is pervasive. Being around people like this is soul destroying. So I moved.

So while I hear what you're saying, I feel that it fails to consider those that don't share your viewpoint.

It is on the basis that DanBC has no idea how HN post history has to do with what that poster sees. It's just an Ad-hom.

As a subscriber I can attest that YouTube is an awful platform. Your subscriptions stop appearing on your home page, apparently unless you're checking in on a daily basis. So if it's not creating the content creator's needs and it's not supporting the subscriber's needs then who's needs are being served? Is Google the only entity benefiting from this?
Ah sorry, your point went over my head then clearly :). Yep, I prefer to try and dig into someones argument.

I hate when people act as though some of these opinions are just a different point of view on the correct way to fold a shirt. Sam Altman may "strongly disagree with" with certain ideas; other people feel "strongly feel existentially threatened by" these ideas. In other words these ideas have painful consequences on people's lives. People who vote according to fact-immune beliefs that black people are thugs, Mexicans are rapists, and brown people are terrorists are directly attacking the safety and security of many Americans (who are not Sam Altman).
Wish you would be more precise about what you're saying. I'll do it for you: (Feel free to quibble about my exact wording.)

global warming: long-term economic interests should trump short-term economic interests.

evolution: science should trump faith.

abortion: pregnant women's rights should trump fetal rights.

refugees fleeing war: generosity/compassion should trump safety, jobs, and taxes.

LGBT rights: general human rights should trump straight cis-male rights.

What I hope you can see is that rather than statements of fact, these political topics are actually ethical questions: what _should_ we do? Any time we're prescribing a best course of action for individuals or groups, there will be differences of opinion. Certain facts related to the arguments may be incontrovertible (humans _are_ changing the climate, evolution _is_ supported by evidence), but that doesn't mean the _should_ part that comes after evidence is also a matter of fact.
I'm curious to hear other people's opinions about this. I feel like the smartphone security model provides security for the OS developers, the app developers and their advertising customers at the expense of usability for the users. But it also provides real security to the users.

I generally choose usability over security, but maybe I should be more paranoid.

I do not have android pay enabled on my phone but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with it even if I wasn't rooted. I insist on root because I want to block ads and install themes. It's possible to do these things without root, but it's harder.

In France the Familistère de Guise is renowned, as a kind of socialist utopia for workers, built by an industry leader to house the workers. It's not exactly a "town" but I think it's close enough as it housed 1700 people and took care of their every need.

What is there to debate on vaccines?

The mechanism are known, I've studied it in basic biology classes, and all doctors have studied it in detail - you can too.

The process by which our body deals with a vaccine is based on the same processes it uses to deal with any invader (and then building a repository of responses to handle such cases in future).

If you don't have the time to look into it yourself, you can consider what every other doctor and medical researcher in the world has studied and supported.

Otherwise this is a kind of unscientific "keeping an open mind" mantra. The point of an open mind is to not just be a weather vane With no fixed position.

It is to keep an open mind in order to study the facts and draw an inference based on it.

That's science. Keeping an open mind for the sake of an open mind is philosophy at best.

Furthermore, you can consider the fact that anti vaccers are not making the limited case you are.
The response of people to anti vaccine, is not based on your claims of possible possibilities, but to anti vaccer claims and statements

"The difference is that all this activity is now visible to the liberal intelligentsia."

I do think that's a big part of it. However, there is some aura of authenticity that comes from social media postings that link to official looking sites. Not for people that are somewhat internet savvy, but there is a group that's being somewhat fooled in way they weren't in the past.
This is where it gets complicated.

I'm not sure where the term "Dual Numbers" came from, but in the numerical math community, this is known as Complex Step Differentiation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation#Comp...

Complex step is only straightforward for first-derivatives. For second-order and above, there are a number of competing techniques. One of them is multicomplex numbers.

From a performance perspective, Automatic Differentiation pretty much outperforms complex step methods in most situations. The only reason to use complex step methods is when you have a very fast language with a complex types (i.e. FORTRAN) and you need a quick-and-easy way of getting 1st order derivatives.

Otherwise, just use AD.

Then how would they make money?

Plus I'm not convinced ads are the thing killing media. People are. Anyone is a journalist these days.

I don't see how Facebook or their CEO is to blame. MySpace could've been in the same position had they continued to innovate. Networking with friends and strangers online is one thing the internet was built for.

I read the manifesto, and I don't understand the outcry in response to that.

I understand the outcry against the pervasiveness of Facebook. It can be annoying if you use it too much. That said, If there were a better media alternative, people would use that instead.

No, it's not. Please stop with the weasel-worded equivalencies. I agree that Milo's tirade about the student was ill-advised, but it is not violence.

Also, I find it side-splittingly hilarious how people are going after his Rogan interview comments (calling him pro-NAMBLA is top-notch clickbait, where were you Monday morning when all these stories were going out?!), yet the same people didn't give a shit when Lena Dunham admitted to molesting her sister.
