At a certain point it doesn't matter how much smarter you are, the limit on progress is the ability to take action and to make measurements, enough measurements so that you can discern whether a subset of those measurements are biased and in what way. As a result I tend to think that in order to get true super human level intelligences they will need to have super human levels of agency, and that is something that is much harder to build and get us meatbags to support than building a really powerful brain in a jar. Building systems with super human agency also isn't something that happens just by accident.
The simple thing would be for the browser to taint Javascript values derived (at whatever remove) from the CSSOM, and then block all network APIs from accepting such values.
That's irrelevant, if anything in your example you should compare growth in productivity for bits and for water independently and see if they manage to meet their demands Also water is a much more finite supply.

The point of my example was that as you leave government out of the tap water market and instead of getting more of it, you get less, more expensive and of lesser quality. Economics teach that in some industries, the government and a certain amount of regulation is healthy and good for the market; leaving actors to themselves just makes them tend naturally towards monopolies which then trifle innovation. Communications is one of those markets.
>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.

This may be easier said than done.

This is a fairly common proposal actually. The term used is "satisficer". Instead of having the AI optimize a quantity, you instead have it satisfice it, I.e. have it attempt to get at least a particular value.

But, iirc, the standard reply is that satisficers are not stable under self modification; a satisficer may self modify into an optimizer for some quantity, because this will also satisfice whatever it is a satisficer for.

However, there are setups which have been shown to be stable under self modification, and don't optimize the expected value of a function. Iirc, one which is stable is one that maximizes a function applied to the expected value of the utility function (so, optimizes f(E(u))), where the function f is increasing up to a certain point, and after that point it is decreasing.
You'd need a bit more than a standard IP firewall since the auth server can simply be moved to a different IP address. The best way to truly block it would be to block it directly on the nameservers for the network.

I think the author chose an example from their own experience. Just because it seems ridiculous, doesn't change its accuracy.

I think it is quite relevant because it gets past the people who "can't believe that such a thing would happen to them".

Do you actually understand how margin loans work?

If your trade starts going bad they'll be aggressively unwound. They're a very well-understood model offered by tons of (profitable) brokerages out there. Robinhood is not doing anything new by offering them.
>In the very worst case that will take 2016 blocks, or 14 days.

The difficulty self-corrects every 2016 blocks, or 14 days if there's no major change in the hashrate. If the hashrate drops by 70% then the worst case is 14 / 30% = 46 days of slow mining until the next correction.

I agree with your overall point; just here to point out the math error.
They do, and they still charge you fees to trade, unlike Robinhood!

> until one of those improperly configured devices are a medical device or something critical.

Medical or critical devices should never be exposed to the Internet, especially if badly configured. If there's something illegal involved here is putting lives at risk by not implementing proper security.

If I had to find an analogy, that's like someone hung a grand piano using a shoestring from a roof and the hacker cuts the string letting the piano fall at 4:00 in the morning before it breaks later with much higher probability of killing people.
It's still a dangerous and wrong act, but it prevents a much worse one.

While I generally agree that, yes, you're in essence paying back your own education.

But also you're ensuring that your world has a functioning economy so all that money you've saved to look after yourself in your old age is worth something and there are actually things to buy with it.

Depending on the exigency of the circumstances I would definitely suggest not giving a verbal statement, and preferably consult a lawyer before giving any statement whatsoever to the police.

If your friend's life is at risk or in danger, you may not have some of these options and would have to make a judgement call at that time.

I personally would do almost anything to protect someone I cared without regard to the risk to myself.
They are controlling a huge share of the hashing power themselves. If they kill all the ASICs that they produced but do not control themselves I think it is quite likely they would control over 50% of the hash power themselves. That is a nightmare scenario.

I completely agree with the author. Hiding my head in the sand and plugging my ears will completely avoid the AI apocalypse.
It's really hard for me to understand a viewpoint that non-human higher intelligence is anything but inevitable.

At somepoint (ignoring us destorying ourselves) we will be able to accurately simulate a cell in software. As computing gets cheaper we will be able to simulate a human brain's worth of cells. We'll feed it inputs and give it outputs just like a brain would have. The only technological challenge here is scanning and reading data from a live brain. A very small challenge in the grand scheme of things.

Once that thing works it's a brain, and an artificial intelligence. Any other discussion simply complicates the situation. Accurately simulate a larger number of individual interconnected neurons and you're running an intelligence.

No I'm not 100% certain we'll ever be able to program intelligence the way to do reasoning symbolically in math, but we sure as heck can engineer one.

I think that there's an additional problem with that claim: the converse may be false. Even if "intelligence is information processing", that does not mean that "information processing is intelligence".

This is, I think, what you were trying to say with your point about computers in the 1940s. Sure, they could add really fast. Did that make them intelligent? Or is intelligence, even if it is information processing, is it a specific kind of information processing? If so, do we even know what kind of information processing it is? I am inclined to say no, we don't. But then, I'm not sure that I buy that intelligence is (just) information processing, either.

You can't do it by fiat, but you can do it by redirecting funds to things that have larger impact on solving disease and poverty, which is what Gates is doing. At the end of WW2, ROK was one of the poorest countries in the world with one of the lowest rates of literacy. Now it produces a large portion of the world's consumer electronics and has top quality research centers, in spite of never solving government corruption that whole time. This is mainly due to how well war reparations from Japan and aid from elsewhere were used to develop the country.

I live on a majority black block and have watched my neighbors help the police. The notion that black and latino people automatically oppose law enforcement is also troubling. Like (I presume?) most black people, I believe policing is structurally racist. But then, so too is exposure to crime, which disproportionately impacts poorer minority neighborhoods. The notion that black people and the police are natural adversaries doubly victimizes poor black people: first by ratifying the hostility they (definitely) experience from police officers, and second by putting them out of the protection of the law itself.

It's an easy way to try to score points on a nerd message board, amongst an audience of people who are extremely unlikely to experience violent crime. It's also callously instrumentalist. Find a better way to make this point, is what I'm suggesting.
Look at ToS and privacy policy from existing, respectable companies in your market (or just use Google, Facebook, LinkedIn etc). Pick one that you agree with/works for your business, mark up with modifications you think you need (but honestly, you probably don't) then give it to your attorney to review.

Don't have an attorney draft it from scratch (they will just copy from Google/LinkedIn/Facebook and charge you an hourly rate for cutting and pasting).

This was the advice we got from our attorney when it came time to put this stuff together.
Find a community you'd like to be a part of and help out there. There is usually no shortage of work around such organization. If no such community exists, maybe start growing one? A Meetup group can be a good starting point.

I helped run an makerspace for some years (unlike most, it is open for anyone to use anytime, not just members). Keeping machines operating, training people on using them, improving the space, sharing knowledge/tips&tricks, nudging people out of lows when they are stuck with projects.

The proper outbound firewall configuration would be default-deny with outbound connections allowed only to the hosts required. That way Antminer would have to somehow take over an IP address that was already whitelisted and run their auth server on it.

Does that really look comparable to you? After all, SV is one of the most desirable/sought after property markets in the world, with extremely limited supply and the tenants there generally not exactly candidates for BI.

Generalizing to all property markets, particularly ones not as supply-limited seems a stretch at best.

Furthermore, I see no evidence that SV landlords manage to soak up all the income of their tenants, not by a long shot, or where are all the fancy cars, motorcycles, planes, etc. coming from, never mind all the high tech gadgets?
In an old discussion regarding ECC/ZFS (in particular, whether hitting bad RAM while scrubbing could corrupt more and more data), user XorNot kindly took a look the ZFS source and wrote

"In fact I'm looking at the RAID-Z code right now. This scenario would be literally impossible because the code keeps everything read from the disk in memory in separate buffers - i.e. reconstructed data and bad data do not occupy or reuse the same memory space, and are concurrently allocated. The parity data is itself checksummed, as ZFS assumes it might be reading bad parity by default."

Traditionally there are a lot of issues (battery vs. broadcast power vs. non-transmissive material (like fluids)), and it doesn't replace the need for old fashioned inventory management. At best it supplements it, and in a margins game the advantage just doesn't materialize into monetary savings.

You do see similar technologies in some situations (RFID), but solving the general opaque shipping problem is surprisingly tricky.

The American Dream is basically get born, go to school, go to work and work hard, get a car, get your own home, and settle down with someone you like and drop a couple of kids. taxing property balances out these costs and benefits in a very approximate indirect way without much accounting.

For me it's not very important that there should be accurate accounting of such things. I just don't lose much sleep over tax money going to education because it keeps a virtuous cycle going. I didn't even grow up in the USA, but what my home country lost in direct tax revenue may be made up over the long run by increased international trade.

I really don't see any point in trying to exhaustively account for public goods at the individual level, which only results in more bureaucracy and promotes a penny-pinching mentality that is inimical to the undertaking of increasing public goods and economic development.
Lefsetz letter on Twitter
I'm Apple-only yet this part made me sad:

> as we can’t afford to support an Android orphan.

I much prefer iOS but the world doesn't need a monoculture. It's sad that the economics of Android are so dire for developers, even worse than for those on iOS.
A dichotomy is a claim that someone or something is either A or B, and it can only be A or B and not something in between.

With that definition in mind:

To summarize: in general, extroverts get energy from social interaction, and introverts lose energy in them.

There is no evidence that extraversion/introversion is a hard delineation. In fact, in my other comment I already cited studies that demonstrate the opposite, that it is a continuum and people are on different places on that continuum, sometimes day to day or hour to hour.

You may find this surprising, but sometimes I love parties, and sometimes I hate them! Sometimes I really want to be around people, and sometimes I want nothing more than to be alone for a while. Sometimes I really want to listen to loud, banging music! Sometimes, I would rather be in a quiet room with a book.

Step back and ask yourself: Are you really as consistently and persistently introverted as you claim? Because I'll bet you a large sum of money that, if you're being honest with yourself, the answer is a lot more nuanced than that.

To be honest, I find this entire trend interesting. On the one had, there's a strong movement that is driving a change in the perception of things like gender and sexual attraction as being on a continuum, based on the realization that humans are, in fact, complex, diverse creatures.

And yet, at the same time, we seem driven to slot people into these fixed personality types so we can all walk around with our "introvert" or "extravert" badge or brag about our Myers-Briggs personality type.

It's really baffling... it's like people both want to label themselves, and at the same time defy labels.
On a slightly related note, I, personally, noticed that I don't want to get things done. Most of the things, at least. After working GTD style I feel happier and more productive, but usually not closer to my goals. I found, that failing do to most of the things is bearable, as long as I'm keep doing things that matter.

I'm still using GTD stuff, but just to "better forget", to unload working memory.
It doesn't matter what kind of flexibility you have. Poor people also can't steal cars --- and virtually none of them do. An argument could be made (probably only on a message board) that between being forced into petty theft and forced to be a cog in a criminal conspiracy, the petty theft option is more justifiable --- all the proceeds address a real need, and the action itself is "honest" about the tradeoff being made. But we have no trouble recognizing theft as theft, even when done out of economic necessity.
I know that, that's why I wrote better in HTTP/2, but you still need to transfer more data. no matter how it's compressed you still have data. while on the other side you have not. actually in your cloudflare blog post you also see that they save up to 15%. well meaning the more files you send the better it gets, but you never can eliminate it. keep also in mind that for every "SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS" size the HPACK compression might be equal.

also many small files means that you not just send more header frames, also the whole chatty http/2 protocol sends more data. http/2 is chatty and stateful, that's something people should know about. so the best possible outcome is probably do concat, but don't be so aggressive than on http/1 do concat more when you have more mobile users since http/2 does not fix their mean latency and their bad bandwidth
See, that's the thing, though; I see this kind of weighted decision-tree logic as only being applicable exactly when the situation has dire risks on both sides.

Disregarding risk when someone you care about is in danger, is exactly how people end up with charges pinned on them, no? If you, concerned about a missing friend, talk to police about how you were likely the last person to see them, then if they turn up dead, you might to blame.

It's important exactly for these cases to be able to know what you should do, and how to do it properly, in order to be able to do the most to help those you love, with the least risk. Not to say "never"; not to say "screw it, this time's different, tell them everything"; but to know the precise shape of the middle path you must tread.

IMO, few major ones. We have billions of man years of research and things are better than before that period, but diminishing returns are real.

Don't get me wrong I think it would be useful, just that the gap from human level AI to 1,000x human AI is simply not that huge. Let's say you moved someone from 2006 to 2016 or even from 1996. Yea sure there is real progress, but not really. We have better drugs in terms of AIDS for example, but we are worse off in terms of antibiotics. Game graphics have improved, but quake is from 1996 so we already had real 3D first person shooters and gameplay is not that different. Hell FTP is arguably worse. Further that's 20 years so we are talking literally millions-man years of effort and trillions of dollars worth of R&D for not much.

In terms of machines the SR-71 is still the fastest manned aircraft, no supersonic passenger aircraft. Tallest building is much taller, but lacks much space on the top floors making it more monument than utility as the sears tower has more useable space and a smaller footprint.
