Oh wow, POV-Ray was finally open-sourced. I remember playing around with it maybe 15 years ago now. The Internet Ray Tracing Competition[1] was still a going concern, and one of the rules was that post-processing was disallowed. So people got motion blur by recompiling the program to average several frames together, which didn't count as post-processing since it was still a ray-tracer that did it.

Banner's been there for at least a week.
No, I don't have it written out anywhere. I brought it up to test the waters somewhat and see what kind of response I would get. I'm hesitant to write it all out because I expect such a document would just be the source of opposition to implementation. Like putting war plans on the internet. If we make the progress we want I expect heavy opposition. However it's hard to build a movement in the shadows. I'd rather just be building things, and making progress toward the goal like I am now, than doing the politics of creating a movement before we have significant powers.

To your argument, it's the perfectability of man problem. You state the decoupling of psychological problems with some other undefined idealized personhood. It lacks an understanding of cognitive science, behavioral economics and neuroscience in my opinion. I would argue, and the science generally agrees, that those "psychological problems" however defined are the other edge on the sword of intelligence and relative autonomy.

So while you argue that yours is a simple argument is really rooted in an old ideal as I stated, which is neither incompatible with (through transhumanism) nor sufficient for, a practical material transcendent philosophy.

Speculation, but flooding it with seawater could wash away things like blood that seeped into various nooks and crannies.

Or destroy electronics or other evidence that might show where the sub has been. Wikipedia says the sub has video cameras that function as a periscope, for example. No idea what other electronics might be on board.
Yes, very good. I've been following her for a while and am always impressed with her comments. I was happy to see that RE102 came out!

I get the feeling than most people who identify with the infosec community though are just looking for a group to associate with and don't add any sort of value. Which kind of turns me off on the community.

Basically any common purpose at all would suffice, like protecting life against harm. Fundamentally, we haven't agreed on the basic question: why are we here? Not 'why' as in how did we come to be, but why as in what do we want to achieve.
My apologies, I just checked and you're right. I remembered wrongly. Sadly it's too late to edit the comment above
Match.com has this feature now called "missed opportunities." Shows who you crossed paths with.
Actually the opposite, I know quite well why I need something else instead of
Ansible. Some of the top reasons are that Ansible has the architecture that
mistmatches what's needed for configuration management (push instead of pull
that heavily relies on a central server for any operations at all) and that it
uses for batch operations a channel intended for interactive shell (SSH),
which is a fragile idea.

Ansible is a very poor implementation of an ad-hoc RPC, on top of which
a tool for applying configs is bolted on.
In this application who does this AI serve? A self driving car doesn't help me to become a better driver. It removes me from the driving equation all together.
"nowadays, we have the technology and the research to replace humans by AI for making judgement calls, no matter how difficult it is"

"if we are able to build a system to play Dota, we are also able to build AIs for anything at all"

These are stated like facts, but are not facts.

There are decisions made by humans which no AI system today can make well, and there are problems for which we have no idea how to build even mediocre AIs. The claim that someday we will have AGI is plausible but not yet certain to be true.

Not a typesetting expert but to my eye the auto-sized delimiters are bad more often than they are good. The people that I look to for expert advice on this seem to me to agree. I'll mention https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1742/automatic-left-... and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/31526/macro-for-left... but more googling will get you more opinions. :-)

Edit: Here is what Knuth says (p 148 in my copy)

At this point you are probably wondering why you should bother learning about
|\bigl| and |\bigr| and their relatives, when |\left| and |\right| are there
to calculate sizes for you automatically. Well, it's true that |\left|
and |\right| are quite handy, but there are at least three situations in which
you will want to use your own wisdom when selecting the proper delimiter size:
\ (1)~Sometimes |\left| and |\right| choose a smaller delimiter than you want.
For example, we used |\bigl| and |\bigr| to produce $\bigl\vert\vert x\vert-
\vert y\vert\bigr\vert$ in one of the previous illustrations; |\left| and
|\right| don't make things any bigger than necessary, so
`|$\left|\||\left|\||x\right|\||-\left|\||y\right|\||\right|\||$|'
yields only
`$\left\vert \left\vert x\right\vert -\left\vert y\right\vert \right\vert$'.
\ (2)~Sometimes |\left| and |\right| choose a larger delimiter than you want.
This happens most frequently when they enclose a large operator in a display;
for example, compare the following two formulas:
\beginlongdisplaymathdemo
\noalign{\vskip 6pt}
|$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n A_k \right)$$|&\left( \sum_{k=1}^n A_k \right)\cr
\noalign{\vskip 3pt}
|$$\biggl( \sum_{k=1}^n A_k \biggr)$$|&\biggl( \sum_{k=1}^n A_k \biggr)\cr
\endmathdemo
The rules of\/ |\left| and |\right| cause them to enclose the ^|\sum| together
with its ^{limits}, but in special cases like this it looks better to let
the limits hang out a~bit; |\bigg| delimiters are better here.
\ (3)~Sometimes you need to break a huge displayed
formula into two or more separate lines, and you want to make sure that
its opening and closing delimiters have the same size; but you can't use
|\left| on the first line and |\right| on the last, since |\left| and
|\right| must occur in pairs. The solution is to use |\Biggl| (say) on
the first line and |\Biggr| on the last.

Much this, use case. Statistically, my use case is 95% cat cat cat cat... (hundreds of them) and then seqwrite of some form, never accessing it randomly. I'm generating json, xml, sql, etc to send it over socket. Sometimes it is utility library, sometimes me (or me writing utility library). My string type is always an array, but this type-shift is not obvious to new coders.

"Why StringBuilder" was once very popular on SO, not sure for now. I oversimplified editors example, their structures are not for 'everyday' use, but I think that simple linked list in string would wipe the entire obvious class of cat-in-loop performance issues.
The context is actually much worse than the "dumb fucks". He was actively offering to share the information of his users with his friend - "selling" it as it were for mere social kudos. It shows that even at that early stage, he perceived Facebook as a vehicle for collecting and exploiting the personal info of his users, exploiting even before he had a clear idea of how.

20 is old enough to know better than that.
It's called Io and yes - it's one of the most extensible languages I encountered. Its main mechanism for extension resembles PicoLisp and fexprs - any method can decide whether it wants its arguments evaluated or not. Coupled with homoiconicity it allows for arbitrary code transformations on runtime - and that's even before taking multiple, prototype-based inheritance and arbitrary stack traversing[3] into account.

I wrote a PyParsing port in Io[1], for my text-based game I'm writing in Io. It was a very interesting and unique experience - normally, when porting things, you just go over the code and translate all of it line-by-line from one language to the other. With Io, however, it was trivial to extend Io with (most[2]) features that Python code required and in effect the code and the language met in the middle. After adding certain things to the language most of the "porting" was done with a set of basic regexes.

Now, the problem is Io is dead, is not being developed, and that's tragic. The implementation is pretty straightforward, however the documentation is severely lacking and the years without development left it far behind most other languages.

I think it's a real shame and I was thinking about investing some time into Io development myself, but my game project halted earlier this year diminishing my motivation, not to mention I'm not sure if I would be up to the task.

Still, I'd be more than happy to help if someone would like to contribute to the Io development. I would like to see Io resurrection and I think the language still has a lot to offer even to the modern programmers.

[1] https://github.com/piotrklibert/ioparsing - see src/syntax.io, list literals, dict (map) literals and string interpolation is implemented there.

[2] There's one problem I wasn't able to solve (yet), which is that the left arg of the assignment operators are always evaluated - so no destructuring assignment unfortunately. This is hardcoded in the VM, I even found where, but ultimately didn't find the time to fix this.

Why? Own up to what?

YouTube is a company that is beholden to advertisers. YouTube wants/pays for videos that they can put ads in front of. If your content is not the type of content YouTube can wrap in ads, and you need longevity for your videos, YouTube is not the platform for you. YouTube never claimed to be an everlasting video storage space for all your video needs, so I'm not sure why you're expecting that of them.
The trick of optimizing games is to off-load as much as the simulation from the computer into the user's brain, which is MUCH more powerful and creative. Implication is more efficient (and richer) than simulation.

During development, when we first added Astrological signs to the characters, there was a discussion about whether we should invent our own original "Sim Zodiac" signs, or use the traditional ones, which have a lot of baggage and history (which some of the designers thought might be a problem).

Will Wright argued that we actually wanted to leverage the baggage and history of the traditional Astrological signs of the Zodiac, so we should just use those and not invent our own.

The way it works is that Will came up with twelve archetypal vectors of personality traits corresponding to each of the twelve Astrological signs, so when you set their personality traits, it looks up the sign with the nearest euclidian distance to the character's personality, and displays that as their sign. But there was absolutely no actual effect on their behavior.

That decision paid off almost instantly and measurably in testing, after we implemented the user interface for showing the Astrological sign in the character creation screen, without writing any code to make their sign affect their behavior: The testers immediately started reporting bugs that their character's sign had too much of an effect on their personality, and claimed that the non-existent effect of astrological signs on behavior needed to be tuned down. But that effect was totally coming from their imagination!

They should call them Astrillogical Signs!

I see what you're implying with your UC/Crohn's reference, but it actually underscores why CFS is so hard of a diagnosis.

In UC/Crohn's, patients presented with recurrent bouts of bloody diarrhea in the absence of infectious symptoms, with possible associations of malabsorption, fistulas, and colon cancer. These are pretty straightforward things to diagnose and clearly represent pathology, irrespective of whether we can assign a name to them.

CFS includes symptoms that don't fall so far from the range of 'normal' human experiences, thus it's much harder to define syndromically.

IBS is an interesting choice for comparison, as it, like CFS, seems to be in part a psychiatric diagnosis at least as it relates to stress. Nothwithstanding, there are clear associations for IBS - chronic abnormal bowel movements and abdominal pain, neither of which is 'normal'.
I've been using a Razer Naga Epic for 5 years. I'm on my 2nd one. It works well for me, but there are a few downsides that others may not appreciate.

- Software can be required to run, needs admin to install. Sometimes the mouse can "remember" its key mappings, but often it resets to default on new PCs (1234567890-=).

- Internet sign-in required, cloud storage of mouse config is required. But there is an "offline" mode, so you could install the software to a single workstation and just save the profile locally.

- Mouse is not cheap and some people don't like the company.

I'm pretty sure that being fired - having pitchfork crowds go after you and people who agree - is close enough to being silenced.
It is really hard, no doubt. Word of mouth is best, but that relies on you already knowing someone unfortunate enough to have had to go through the process themselves.

A reliable disqualifier is anyone who purports to be any kind of heal-everything wizard.

It would be nice if schools allocated more time for the young kids to get to share with teachers which topics that they wanted to know more about, just a block of unstructured time like the agoras of Ancient Greece. Just some form of rubric-free authentic curiosity-driven discourse, to break out of the teacher-student hierarchical relation a bit and to widen their understanding of learning, I suppose.
I think it applies specially to scientific knowledge.

There is a connexion there between Gödel and Popper.

Except inside a formal system, you can never prove that something is true, only that one explanation is better than other in an endless pursue of better explanations.

I'm not sure there is such thing as not-scientific knowledge, by the way.

For the processes, it's not that the documentation doesn't exist, it's that they're very low-ranked in search results (and many who know that they're looking for a process name know to try 'man foo' before a web search) [0]. Any documentation rarely describes exactly a problem someone is experiencing but a discussion forum might, so those are the links that come up first in a search.

As for message in logs, I don't tend to find those in other *nix documentation either.

Can anybody comment on how technology transfer between two firms works where one firm is say 80% musk + a + b and the other, say, 40% musk + x + y + z ?

Both firms are technically separate, right? I suppose x,y,z would mind if Musk just took the tech to Boring company. And a,b would mind if he chose Tesla (if it were not the best)?

Or are people flexible in this regard? In the initial stages?
7 Barriers to Understanding Your Mentor Communication
I don't think social interaction is making you anxious; instead your anxiety causes you to construct a model of reality where social interactions are bad.

You need to imagine your life from a third-person perspective, and realize that the way you feel resides entirely within your own brain, and is mutable.

When you look at the world, you're seeing a stream of photons. Photons transport light, not emotion.
I was tired and thought it had reached a maximum for a while. I was very wrong.
You're right! History and context do matter. In this case, there's a lot of history and context around the form of argument from patriarchy in spaces where men are discussing the issues that affect us. Very little of that history or context suggests that entertaining such arguments, in such spaces, is at all helpful in finding effective ways to improve men's lives or ameliorate men's suffering.

What you're doing is, though, very effective as a derailing tactic, although I have to say you're really going above and beyond with the contempt you add to it. What are you trying to accomplish, this way? What do you imagine that you're helping? What you've said here, and the way in which you've said it, does nothing to convince anyone that the conceptual schema you advocate has any genuine value - indeed, quite the opposite. Yet this nonetheless is what you chose to say, and how you chose to say it. Why?
If AI can augment the ability of 1 human then that 1 human + 1 AI can still replace people en masse. That's what automation does. The factories usually are not devoid of people, they just have fewer people and higher productivity than they used to.
