Because there's scientific evidence strongly suggesting otherwise.

About this you are mistaken:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion

Despite these differences, a meta-analysis of 15 experience sampling studies has suggested that there is a great deal of overlap in the way that extraverts and introverts behave.[33] In these studies, participants used mobile devices to report how extraverted (e.g., bold, talkative, assertive, outgoing) they were acting at multiple times during their daily lives. Fleeson and Gallagher (2009) found that extraverts regularly behave in an introverted way, and introverts regularly behave in an extraverted way. Indeed, there was more within-person variability than between-person variability in extraverted behaviours. The key feature that distinguishes extraverts and introverts was that extraverts tend to act moderately extraverted about 5-10% more often than introverts. From this perspective, extraverts and introverts are not "fundamentally different". Rather, an "extravert" is just someone who acts more extraverted more often, suggesting that extraversion is more about what one "does" than what one "has".

That article goes on to say:

Humans are complex and unique, and because introversion-extraversion varies along a continuum, individuals may have a mixture of both orientations. A person who acts introverted in one situation may act extraverted in another, and people can learn to act in "counterdispositional" ways in certain situations. For example, Brian Little's Free Trait Theory [35][36] suggests that people can take on "Free Traits", behaving in ways that may not be their "first nature", but can strategically advance projects that are important to them. Together, this presents an optimistic view of what extraversion is. Rather than being fixed and stable, individuals vary in their extraverted behaviours across different moments, and can choose to act extraverted to advance important personal projects or even increase their happiness, as mentioned above.

In short: The dichotomy is a false one. To imply anything else is just pop psychological BS, albeit fashionable BS right now.

He's talking about social anxiety, not introversion.

That's a whole other problem, and is considered an anxiety disorder. If it's resulting in career limiting behaviour, it's probably worth therapy, such as CBT, to try and resolve:

Equality in Japan: is this vision of a fairer society too good to be true?
I find this puzzling. There are many reasons why the leader of the opposition is unpopular, but there seems to be general consensus that he's terrible at PR, and relatively anti-authoritarian, pro housing etc., and certainly outside of the usual centrist/elite bubble of people who've run for PM in the last 20 years.

Of course the other way around most often just gives you devices in the field nobody buys.

In this, like most things, you need a balance. If you aren't commercially driven in some fundamental way you probably won't last long enough for any of this to make a difference.

Of course if you apply that the wrong way, you end up with devices that suck and/or harm users. This way leads to regulation typically, since Smiths invisible and myopic hand usually acts too slowly for people to be convinced it will get to the right place, if we just wait long enough.

> To put it generally, if you believe in claim X for bad reasons, and it later is discovered that X is true, it does not mean that you were retroactively acting rational for previously believing in claim X for bad reasons.

That is true. Isn't it equally as true that if one goes around telling people they are wrong, and then it turns out that one is wrong (based on new evidence), one has been wrong AND a hypocrite? The temptation is to say "ahh, but THIS TIME we have better science!". That's always been the case.

My point isn't about truth and error as much as hubris, humility, and respect.

Why do you need access to my email address?
Indeed. It's true that the data may be corrupted before hitting any disk[1], but once it has hit the disks (>1), it's extremely unlikely that you'll ever hit a similar bit error where it'll mistakenly choose the wrong disk block to recover from.

The main point of e.g. ZFS or Btrfs checksumming is that a) at least it isn't getting worse, and b) I can tell if it's getting worse.

[1] ... but if the bits are not generated by the machine that actually saving to disk, how do you know they weren't corrupted along the way? The number of people who religiously check PGP signatures/SHA256sums or whatever is miniscule.

> So, I say, don't talk to the cops. Ask to speak with an attorney, and get competent advice before you answer the cops' questions. Are there mundane situations in which you might rationally decide to talk to the cops — say, if a neighbor's house is burglarized, and they come to ask if you saw anything? Sure. But you should view each interaction with the cops with an extreme caution bordering on paranoia, as you would handle a dangerous wild animal.

Thank you to everyone who's contributed to this thread! I've found it very useful, as have others.
Without further experimentation the best one can say is that you have a theory which covers that which has already been observed. This is not a useful theory, however: useful theories make predictions about future observations. Really useful ones make correct predictions.

An AI can certainly produce a theory which matches observations, but no matter how powerful it is it won't be able to magically produce only correct useful theories any more than a human can.

We had over 200 years from Newton's laws of motion to produce relativity from pure logic alone, but we didn't manage it. We had to reason from the evidence, and even then we didn't accept relativity as "true" until it had been experimentally verified.

God, fuck this.
> The power output rating is calculated by increasing load current until the voltage drops unacceptably, then calculating the power output at that point.

It really isn't. Sure, the engineers who design the power supply do that test, but that is not at all what determines the advertised rating of the final product. At 100% of the advertised load, most computer power supplies are still delivering nominal voltage or slightly above, not 5% below as allowed by the ATX spec.

> Efficiency is very flat in switching power supplies once load gets above about 10% of rating. [...] A 750W power supply is just as efficient running at 250W as it is at 750W.

Yes, on either side of the peak efficiency, you'll have points of equal efficiency. And in the middle, you'll have a few percentage points higher efficiency. But more importantly, at the ~30W a typical desktop will actually be drawing most of the time, a power supply with a smaller rating will be substantially more efficient.

Buying 750W and larger power supplies just doesn't make sense for single-CPU, single-GPU systems. Power supplies with lower ratings already have plenty of headroom both built-in to their rating and in the difference between 500W and what a real desktop actually uses on real workloads. To the extent that having excess capacity helps longevity, a 550W or 650W model is already well past the point of diminishing returns and going up to 750W is pure vanity. If you want reliability, shop for PSUs that use high-quality fans and capacitors, don't just stupidly add an extra 30% on top of what's already for more PSU than you really need.
It's not the that it NEEDS it, it's that if you DONT use it you are introducing potential data errors into an otherwise checksummed data path. Which would completely negate the rest of the path.

I hope this is helpful feedback:

* There are several small typos on the page ("How does it works?") that distract from its content.

* The testimonials strike me as all having the same writer's voice.

* What appears to set "Audrey" aside from, say, Alexa is the promise that you can take a moment to train the AI when it misunderstands you. That's a great feature; I can tell Alexa that she was wrong (via the app), but that's tedious and may take months to see my feedback enacted. Immediately linking what I said to the desired outcome for future use would be ideal. I'd like to see an example of what that looks like for this app, even if it's just a mock-up.

However, they still sell their client order flow to the bank that pays them the most to execute their trades. This isn't illegal and was a HUGE point of Michael Lewis's hack-n-slash book on electronic trading "Flash Boys".

If my Robinhood trades of 100 lots or more execute at a few pennies higher than the price when I place the order, I think that is entirely fine. Why? Because it costs 5-10 to trade from Etrade or most other normal brokerage accounts. From what I've seen thusfar (I've got maybe 20k invested with RH), all of the trades have executed at the price I expected them to, or 1 cent higher on very volatile stocks (TSLA in specific). I'm still paying massively less than if I used a traditional broker and RH is making a bit of money by selling my order flow.

Win/win really.

Because with ZFS bit rot can be cumulative, with most file systems a memory error will corrupt a file if the format can't handle errors, with ZFS overtime the entire volume can get corrupted especially when you are doing recovery or expansion, even in normal operation data is moved around quite a bit.
For them most part with other common file systems when a file is written it stays there even in RAID.
Amazon Echo Look: Hands-Free Camera and Style Assistant
I am not believer in superintelligence, but for a different reason than author. I assume the following about superintelligence:

- It somehow needs to be distributed, that is, composed of smaller computing parts, because there is a physical limit what you can do in unit of space.

- It needs to change to adapt to environment (learn), and so all the parts need to potentially change.

From this follows that the parts will be subject to evolution, even if they don't reproduce. And so the existence of the parts will depend on their survival. This, in my opinion, inevitably leads to evolution of parts that are "interested" in their own survival, at the expense of the "superintelligent" whole. And it leads to conflict, which can eventually eat up all the improvements in the intelligence.

Look at humans. Humanity (or biosphere in general) didn't become a superintelligent whole, capable of following some single unified goal. Instead, we became fighting factions of different units, and most of the actual intelligence is spent on arms races.

Anyhow, even if superintelligence is possible, I believe the problem of friendly AGI has a simple solution. We simply need to make sure that the AGI doesn't optimize anything, but instead takes the saying "all things in moderation" to its heart. That means, every once in a while, AGI should stop whatever goals it pursues and reflect on purpose of those goals, if it is not, by some measure, going too far.

You can argue that we don't actually know how to make AI to stop and think. I would respond, AI that cannot do that, and only pursues some pre-programmed optimum mindlessly, is not really general.
The police aren't Feds. Talking to police has its own, but different dangers.

My understanding is that in my state filing a false instrument is a criminal act... so a materially wrong report is an issue. With the Feds, much more subtle falsehoods or erroneous statements can be crimes in themselves.

Personally, as a citizen if I witness a crime I have and would report or attempt to provide information to aid an investigation as a matter of conscience.
"Hokulea is a performance-accurate full-scale replica of a... Polynesian double-hulled voyaging canoe. Launched on 8 March 1975 by the Polynesian Voyaging Society, she is best known for her 1976 Hawaii to Tahiti voyage completed with exclusively Polynesian navigation techniques. The primary goal of the voyage was to explore the anthropological theory of the Asiatic origin of native Oceanic people, of Polynesians and Hawaiians in particular, as the result of purposeful trips through the Pacific, as opposed to passive drifting on currents, or sailing from the Americas."

"Since the 1976 voyage, Hokulea has completed nine additional voyages.... On May 18, 2014, Hokulea and her sister vessel, Hikianalia embarked from Oahu for 'Malama Honua', a three-year circumnavigation of the earth. The journey will cover 47,000 nautical miles with stops at 85 ports in 26 countries."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokulea

"Polynesian navigation used some navigational instruments, which predate and are distinct from the machined metal tools used by European navigators.... Polynesian navigators employed a whole range of techniques including use of the stars, the movement of ocean currents and wave patterns, the air and sea interference patterns caused by islands and atolls, the flight of birds, the winds and the weather."

I grew up with a single mom on food stamps, and while we weren't the poorest kids around — I still feel incredibly out of place living in a tech hub that's filled mostly with people with middle class or upper-middle class backgrounds.

I was really shocked when I had the realization that it was a cause of a lot of my social discomfort. Your income level has a drastic impact on your outlook on life and mental health, which is immediately connected to physical well-being. I'm not nearly as comfortable relaxing, taking a vacation, or even ordering a more expensive (and healthier) lunch... despite being privileged enough to have it now.

It would make an incredible difference within a generation if an already first-world country like the US could ensure a basic quality of life that included maternity care, vacation, and healthy food as a standard.
Yeah, don't want to come of as bullish. Just that I agree with the general sentiment on this comments, that this terminology probably overcomplicates things for no reason.

Better to slightly misuse/expand an existing know term like projects or notebooks to cover more than it does now, than to invent a new term that covers all the meanings that apply, but whose meaning is initially unfamiliar to people.

You're not thinking it clearly. As long as you assume them to be profit seeking individuals and not some inconsistent model, then their choice leans far too heavily towards investing in their own infrastructure (even if you assume a bully who is ripping people's lunch money to invest some of that lunch money into a gym membership).

If they launch Verizon Music, then they'll have to build a service as good as Spotify (if not better) in order compete with Spotify. The capital expenditure is still there. On the top of that, they will have to gain expertise in a new field.

On the other hand, investing in their own infrastructure makes sense because this is their own domain and this is how they got into this position at the first place.
