People are free to make an informed decision in either way, if you think im suggesting coercion youre misreading me.

But the key word is informed. Suggesting that it is normal or even broadly considered acceptable to live in a closet is a lie.

Encourage people however you like but if you need to lie to them then I'm absolutely not ok with it.

> Why are you moving from Heroku to Digital Ocean then? Heroku is much closer to, if not exactly that.

It basically comes down to the daily cycling which I have no control over and the low memory on the hobby dynos. My game is constantly reaching the limit and without rebuilding the whole architecture it leaves me with either upgrading to a much more expensive dyno or migrating away.

I also miss just being able to ssh into my machine and do stuff.
I'd rather be a fool than a cynic.
For anyone else annoyed that there's no RSS feed: http://feed43.com/0475703031862353.xml
Thank you for the suggestion!

See my other comment for reasons why I want to move away from Heroku. I can expand on the cycling bit though:

I keep my game's state in memory all the time and really just want to write to the database once in a while. The random cycling prevents this since it just terminates the app without any warning so any state is lost.
podcasts are good for when you are on the move, or you want to rest your eyes.
Not being a romantic is not remotely the same as being a cynic dude. Its actually obnoxious of you to suggest that they are the same thing. Most functioning people are not particularly romantic in my experience. Similarly, most (and I would include myself here) are not cynics.

Whatsmore, being a cynic is something that is often appropriate, particularly when dealing with wild romantics.
This article is full of Useless Uses of Cat[1] that could just use redirection operators. For instance,

cat image.iso | pv >/dev/sdb

could be rewritten as

pv < image.iso > /dev/sdb

A related mistake is the Useless Use of Echo, since any command of the form

echo "foo" | bar

can be written using here strings as

bar <<< "foo"

or even

bar <<WORD
foo

I don't think anyone is lying about anything. Everyone is extremely quick to point out that living in a closet isn't normal.

But it's awesome. They actually had the courage to do that. And that is wonderful, and worth celebrating.

They didn't give a damn what was normal and did whatever was pragmatic. I'm glad there are places like that in the world.

If this is meant for general technical consumption, it's sorely lacking in usability. After several seconds, I guessed that it might be referring to something about my browser.

Some of the colours seem to indicate badness. Clicking on things provides no additional information, but then makes me wonder if it's meant to be an example of a bad webpage and there's nothing wrong with my browser.

Another failure of minimalism.

> 5. Even in the most developed and ‘democratic’ countries, the System imposes misinformation. Even in the countries that pretend to be the cradle of free speech, misinformation is the System’s primary weapon. A weapon they use very well.

I wonder how that would be revisited today. Now misinformation comes from all corners, many factions all vying to misinform their way into being "the system".

The idea that some cyberpunk underground stands in resistance to this "system" is frankly hopeless. Do you want 9-11 truthers and Obama birthers? That's how you get them. Do you want antivaxers and chemtrails believers? Then let them think that they have a secret truth. Do you want the "alt-right" ? This is where it grew.

I'm just going to listen to my body. Had the blood test twice, negative both times, yet after years of isolation diets and experimentation, it's gluten that gives me diarrhoea and eczema and by not eating it, I'm fine. The doctors I spoke to before I worked out the cause just said "oh it's IBS, you'll just have to manage it".. except by giving up gluten I'm 100% fine, ha!

I appreciate "hipsters" who avoid gluten because they help increase the variety of gluten free food options, but I'd just go paleo if it went away because the sickness isn't worth it.
Yeah, people survive for longer on less at universities in the hope it will lead to something bigger, and aiming for 25 months' runway to see whether a product's getting anywhere is probably less of a gamble than betting on getting investment in six months time.

Though the fact they found it necessary to move to one of the most expensive places on the planet to subsist on that $25k even though they didn't expect to be accepted into YC and weren't selling to other startups or needing to hire developers with niche skillsets at short notice speaks volumes though.
I love Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence by Peter Norvig much more than AIMA, which I found excessively encyclopedic and shallow.

While some will argue it is dated, I think it presents many timeless ideas that will get in vogue soon with little tweaks to their inference schemes.

Same for The Art of Prolog.
Did they have an official diagnostic made by a medic or it was a self diagnostic?

Did the medic do any lab test or only a questionary of self reported symptoms?

I added a bit to the end of my comment. It sounds like you're worried that people are lying to others, or are somehow acting in ways that are malicious. But all that's happening here is cheering for founders.
We're getting into using this on AWS. Plus points: it's awesomely powerful and actually useful. Minus point: the version number is not a lie, this is buggy betaware that deprecates functionality fast without looking back, and if you use it for real work at this stage you are live beta testing both the software and its functionality and will tear out your remaining hair. Even given that, we're sticking with it.

Well when I was a poor student with not much money and pirated software, I've been shamed once to buy a software (I think it was from Panic) when I got a message after entering a blacklisted serial number. So, anecdotally, it does seem to work on some people.

But then, as soon as I started working and had money I stopped pirating software so my pirating was mostly due to circumstances.
Civilisation is Collapsing: Evidence
While I have not read the actual paper, according to the article the participants in the group were very carefully tested against different levels of gluten in their food, and they reported _negative effects_ for each level of gluten contents. Note that the food was _also_ controlled for FODMAPs, again, showing effects even without any known effector. So there does indeed seem to be an gastrointestinal effect of eating these foods, but, again, according to the article, it seems to be psychological in nature.

The conclusion seems valid: gluten content doesn't make a difference, and negative effects are reported even in the absence of gluten and FODMAPs. At least for the group of participants, neither gluten nor other FODMAPs seem relevant.

Until the affected people know better what it is that causes harm to them, they can (and probably should) ignore gluten content.
pv can read files directly and give more detailed progress. No stdin redirection is needed.

pv image.iso >/dev/sdb
While Rust can reduce the chance of these kinds of bugs, it cannot completely prevent them.

For instance, the browser Javascript VM will most likely use some form of JIT, which works by generating machine code at runtime, and then executing the generated code. Nothing in the Rust language can prevent a bug in the generated code from being exploitable.

And even within pure Rust code, developers can and will do unsafe tricks to get the last few percent points of speed (for instance, storing flags in the least significant bit of pointers). While Rust requires these parts to be marked with "unsafe" (which allows reviewers to focus on them), it cannot prevent bugs caused by these pieces of code.

Ah. Yeah, I can see that.

If the pressures are aligned too strongly in the other direction, and someone is feeling squeezed, they should focus on themselves and act accordingly. As you say, it's easy to forget that.

Can we see eye to eye that my stance is the same thing, but from the opposite direction? It's very possible to believe you're obliged to do the safe thing, to worry about whether you're supporting yourself or living up to your parents' expectations, and to think that you should suppress your dreams to appease others.

It's the path that society pushes you into by default, which is why it's worth being keenly aware of it and triple checking that you're ok with choosing it. Because you only get to make that choice once or at most a few times, often when you don't know any better.
Yes, his attitude is also quite stiff in the writing. I don't feel any emotion. He could have easily turned this into a friendly "I worked hard on this and make a living from it", instead he just rambles on about the dangers of malware in a cant-help-but-feel-quite-passive-aggressive tone.
> I think the point is that Rust fanboy will repeat same thing for years "all security bugs would have been avoided if Rust was used"

Complete hyperbole. All anyone says is that Rust prevents a class of security issues related to memory access.

The first is a proof published in a paper that you can read. I recall the proof is for single decree paxos. In reality, you need multiple rounds. There are many subtle variations and I am not aware of a proof for that.

Is an implementation correct? Frankly, that is a PhD thesis that is still to have been written. If you want to do a PhD and this topic burns inside you, go for it.

Regarding consensus algorithm overview, no .. not that I know of. Here is a good video on Paxos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEpsBg0AO6o&t=2545s

A nitpick on the buzzer point:

The skill-cap in Jeopardy is sort of low. The top players can all answer almost all questions, so victory comes down to the buzzer even between Jennings and Rutter.

The important thing is that Watson hit that skill cap. From there it wins on tie-breaks every time. I think we'll see this dynamic in many human/AI contests. If both competitors' skills are at the saturation point, the contest is decided either by luck, or some strategically unsatisfying thing like diligence or mechanics. I don't see why humans will ever have an advantage at this.
Okay. I don't actually use pv, so I was just extrapolating from the original post. In any case, cat is definitely the wrong choice.

I'm assuming you're referring to the classic tale of sama: http://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-gave-himself-scurv...

Moving fast and breaking things should not require sacrificing your health. Living a healthy lifestyle and putting it front and center in your plans, for whatever you're doing, will more than pay for themselves down the road.

To phrase it a bit more poetically, it's hard to type on a laptop with an IV line going into your arm :D
I've got a Befunge JIT compiling directly to WASM: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/tree/master/js (hosted: http://etg.dek.im/funge/funge.html )

Maybe I should move on to something a little more practical

Note that there seems a lot of misinterpretation of WASM as a good VM bytecode target. You're stuck with i32/i64/f32/f64. Strings have to be manually managed through byte indexing. There's no GC. Targeting WASM directly is really close to targeting an actual ISA directly. So efficient implementation to WASM is going to come off closer to something like LuaJIT. It also doesn't facillitate self modifying code so lazily compiling will imply either using a trampoline to jump between multiple WASM modules or recompiling everything

There's no jump instruction in WASM, so arbitrary goto has to be converted into loop-and-switch. The Befunge VM I linked breaks that down to only relooping between basic blocks. Browsers optimize that pattern. There's room to play around & see if they can optimize something like a CPS VM. Instead of dispatching based on the value of a memory cell, encode an instruction as a 'store-next-instruction to local, break to instruction implementation (if not short bytecode), have that instruction end by looping back, where we switch to next instruction which repeats the store-next-instruction to local'. Where next-instruction encodes this dance repeatedly. Hot areas of the VM may then be inlined by the browser's JIT

To summarize the above paragraph: instead of compiling to bytecode, compile to threaded gotos
This site isn't meant for general technical consumption. I don't understand why you would think otherwise. Why does this page have to explain what all the different cyber suites are, how SSL handshaking works, or why some hashes are no longer considered secure for cryptographic purposes? There are plenty of other websites out there that provide SSL primers. This website doesn't need to do that.

This isn't a failure of minimalism, it's a pretty cool page for people who are curious about the different SSL weaknesses that have been discovered over the years.

Is pretraining really all that much of a failure? I haven't really found an authoritative answer on whether or not pretraining is worth it these days. Hinton's 2012(?) Coursera course still focuses pretty deeply on generative/layer-by-layer pretraining with RBMs but I'm just not really sure if that's fallen by the wayside today. Or maybe it's still useful only in specific circumstances?

Firstly, I don't think you can dive straight into coding without understanding the fundamentals. AI is such a broad and rich field, and there's a lot you need to know before you start.

It also depends on what you're going to focus on. Are you looking to implement a game-playing agent? An object recognition algorithm? More of a logic focus?

If you just want Deep Learning and statistical methods, then Bishop's Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning is a good start. Otherwise, Russel and Norvig's Artificial Intelligence or Patrick Winston's similarly titled book are great starting points. For more big-picture stuff,

Marvin Minsky's Society of Mind is great, and Hofstader's Gödel, Escher, Bach is a classic too. Both are a lot less practical though, which seems to be what you're looking for.
...which is what Japan does.
I think your question about drives is a very good one. At the micro end of the artificial life spectrum (like in Tierra) I think it is answerable: a drive to survive and replicate, and a desire (for lack of a better term) for computer resources such as CPU cycles. Natural selection applies to alife just like to organic life.

As for AGI or superintelligent AI, who knows? The people who write about it hand-wave their way through all the difficult parts. Just because you can conceive of something doesn't mean it can exist. The idea that an AI could continually improve itself (how?) sounds like a perpetual motion machine to me.

Places don't have to compete other places to be worth living in. Places where water extraction and delivery is relatively cheap, for example, need not produce very much in the way of value to be justified.

Moreover, economic value can be created, and is not zero sum, meaning that two people, or two places may create value without being parasites on each other. The important thing though is just that somebody has to create some form of value -- value can be minimal, and value can be isolated, but there must be someone doing something of value for the math to work out, and for a variety of reasons, a tax-funded commune is very unlikely to work except in areas that are rich in resources, which Michigan is not known to be. (Though I could be very wrong on that)
