“The illusion of the passage of time arises from the confusing of the given with the real. Passage of time arises because we think of occupying different realities. In fact, we occupy only different givens. There is only one reality.”

Is he saying that our brains exist over all time simultaneously but they "give" us a sequence of instants from which we perceive the illusion of passage of time ?

There's been plenty of inflation post-QE, just not in the CPI[1]. Housing prices post-crash are higher than ever, fueled by still-easy access to financing. Healthcare is up. Education is up. People are just taking the money that was shoved into the economy by QE and low interest rates, and using it for capital expenditures and investments instead of consumer goods. There's so much supply of consumer goods that the money is flowing to places where demand can't be met as easily.

[1] For example, the CPI tracks "owner's equivalent of rent" instead of raw housing prices https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheet-owners-equivalent-rent-and...

I'm neither blind or deluded. After catastrophes like the MTGox theft where trust was lost with Bitcoin, and the recent uncertainty with Segwith2x, the market has taken a dive but has always turned around. There are billions of dollars waiting in the side lines for opportunities to buy cheap Bitcoins. Weak hands lose their money to opportune investors when these things happen.

Thats a cool idea. Than its just a matter of exposing the c++ composition/rendering engine to javascript.

But of course, this will require a pretty hardcore javascript JIT like the current V8..

If transactions were close to instantaneous, it wouldn't be an issue. Buy in USD -> Pay in Bitcoin -> Receive Bitcoin -> Convert to USD needs to happen in under a minute.

However.

Those transactions frequently take a substantial chunk of real time in which time the value fluctuates more than a currency normally would.
Let’s Talk Bitcoin – A small town millenials brief take on Bitcoin
This is, admittedly, a weird enough strategy that a human player would probably get flustered and respond with suboptimal choices, just like the AI did. A human would probably adapt to the situation more quickly, though.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a few people are trying this strategy in pub games now, just for shits and giggles. :)
If I had only the two choices, I would absolutely choose unconstrained, actual AGI over something controllable.

But that's because the way things are going, I see mostly doom and gloom anyway; controlled AI will increase that, uncontrollable ones are at least wildcards. I'm not proud to feel that way, but I do. I have little hope for the human resistance against other humans that has been necessary for so long and just isn't forthcoming -- and even either AGI or humanity spreading so far over the galaxy that some pockets get cut off from the MCP seem more likely. But that's still the lame option, the honorable one is to get our stuff together and then go to space and create AI. As long as I live, I will "work" on that, I certainly will not go into the night gently.

Unless that "paradigm shift" happens, technology will continue to serve capital, and unless you can make the "jump" in total seclusion, so nobody knows what you're doing until it's too late, there will always be people with guns to have a word with you. Still godspeed but that's how I see it.

Currently, Bitcoin is used as a store of value not so much for day to day transactions. It's still evolving, its software, and it's upgradable.
The problem is inherent in the imperative style.

The programmer SPECIFICALLY ASKED for all the partial results, and it turns out that doing what was asked is sub-optimal, to the tune of O(n) allocations of O(n) each and O(n^2) runtime as opposed to the optimal O(1) allocations of O(n), and O(n) runtime.

It is extremely hard to make the compiler transform the sub-optimal version to the optimal one in the general case. Sure, one can special case strings (or std::string, or whatever) and do that without changing the semantics -- Python, for example, does that with string appends. However, none of Python, C++ or Rust will do that for a user-defined type.

The right thing is to make sure that idiomatic way to concatenate strings is, in fact, efficient - Python does that by making the idiom "seperator.join(string_list)", which is as efficient as it can be.

There's a lot of performance gains to be made by transforming unreasonable code to reasonable code, which is why compilers still do it; and unreasonable code just as often results from mountains of abstractions as it does from programmer unawareness. But IMHO our goal should be that the norm is that programmers are expected to write reasonable code, not that compilers are able to optimize unreasonable code.
YouTube does not seem to me to be an appropriate medium for "war crimes evidence". Evidence needs documented provenance, chain-of-custody, storage integrity, affidavits, etc etc. Why does this evidence need a high-bandwidth publicly accessible and searchable interface? For what purpose?

To be honest, if you have evidence of a war crime, I hope your plan to seek justice doesn't depend on Youtube.

Do you have a source for the ‘scream’ phenomenon?

I am aware of (and was myself misled by) several pop-science books which confusingly tried to compare plants giving off chemicals when attacked with animals screaming. The result was that a skim read would have given one the impression that plants could make sounds inaudible to humans, which was not what was meant.

The most logical plan I heard was the following: Solar power works way better, and potentially nonstop at the poles of the moon. Use that energy to cook moonrock into building materials and lauch it all into orbit on an electromagnetic mass driver. Then design and build Oniell cylinders, once we have rigorous tests of artificial gravity on humans. If you want a Mars base after the fact, go for it. Put a station in orbit around Mars that recieves deliveries from the moon.

Piracy will always be competition because of availability and not price. A lot of people who can afford to pay pirate cause the content they want is not available to them legally.

How I Built This

I can't prioritize it now, but I predict a team of people who go around doing "social extraction"... Pulling people out of isolation into loving communities. Consensually of course.

I just think everyone is inherently beautiful, even those who have gotten stuck in solitary loops, and lost the ability to connect. I see someone like that as unrealized value... Like a stunted tree growing in the shade, or in dry soil. There's plenty of sun and water for everyone. Well, metaphorically. In social connection, each person you add multiplies those life giving resources.
I am not an expert, but my impression was always that the way it is makes things general, orthogonal, and easy to explain and reason about (if cumbersome to use).

If \left and \right were automatic, then whenever you needed something less-but-often-still common, like [0,1) open intervals, or physics <bra|ket> notation, that would require kludges.

Whether or not it is a smart decision is a different argument.

Why is Googling a programming question insulting to the profession?

I find it laughable that you think there is something wrong with looking for resources relating to complex programming questions. I can't tell you how many times Googling a niche and complex problem instantly solved my issue. Sometimes SO is the only site that has fixes for bugs in the program you're using or mistakes in the documentation.

Bronte Capital: Some Thoughts on the Firing of James Damore from Google
CloudFlare has acknowledged this problem I believe. That's very unfortunate and it makes one not want to report harassment in the future.

Behavior like that makes me think you have a case against CloudFlare because their behavior harmed you. Worse than the original crime if you ask me.

It's a good deterrent however to make sure people don't report abuse in the future. Makes their graphs look pretty and empty and they don't think they have anything bad going on.

In fact no one wants to report anything because they learned the lesson; the bully's win when you have no privacy and stopping said abusive (violent) behavior is often difficult or impossible? I don't think I experienced it that bad personally.

I have had the people creating craigslist postings with your information telling people to come over to your house and rape you.

> the author has the credentials to have an informed opinion about the current research

If you say so. I'm not an expert but as I wrote in my comment it appears either terribly sourced or the author equates replies to research as full blown studies.

> Here's another one, but from a Psychologist rather than a neurologist.

This one, as far as I can tell, mostly ignores much of the critical feedback that I've seen so far. Again, I'm not an expert but I'm surprised it doesn't call this out explicitly and in greater detail if the critics are wrong. Like, it has some small references to it but not a lot of direct discussion around it.

Not that all of the critical articles are better in terms of sources, etc I just haven't seen any of the articles in support of the memo be very well sourced or respond to much of the criticism directly.

For example of how children can be taught to program at a surprisingly high level with a paucity of resources, see this blog post on CS in Vietnam: https://neil.fraser.name/news/2013/03/16/

People need to raise their expectations of what children are capable of when given the right resources and environment.
Those "market cap" numbers are utter garbage and completely inaccurate.

How is that number calculated?

The actual market rate is only determined by active users who send a buy order though an exchange. If there's no demand, the price instantly tanks to 0 in a few seconds - the exchanges guarantee nothing.

What's the demand behind BTC? Speculators?

What happens when the speculators cash out because something better comes along?
As far as I know, proxies simply will not work in environments that do not support ES6, because they require purpose-built JS engine support (see some comments at [0] as examples).

MobX works by wrapping plain objects and arrays with its "observable" equivalents. Per [1] , its object support requires fields to already exist, so it knows how to generate wrapper fields accordingly.

As for copying: as I talked about in the "Immutable Update Patterns" section of the Redux docs [2], proper immutable updates require copies of _every_ level of nesting that is being modified. If you want to make an update to `state.a.b.c.d`, you need to make copies of c, b, a, and state. That's doable, but takes work, and can get ugly if you're dealing with nesting by hand. This does lead to frequent mistakes, like assuming that `let newObj = oldObj` makes a copy (it just adds another reference to the same object), or that `Object.assign()` does deep copies (it's only shallow, ie, the first level). It's one of the most common pain points I see for people learning immutability and/or using Redux.

What something like the `transmutable` lib appears to give you is the ability to write perfectly standard imperative mutation code with no extra fluff necessary, even for nested data, and still get proper immutable updates. I'm definitely going to have to play around with it.

Besides what all the others have said in favor of moon, I would add: https://what-if.xkcd.com/124/

Seriously, I bet there are many rich people willing to go to the moon, if reasonable safe and fast. And this probably could be done with the moon quite soon ... and all of that would be a BIG push for everything else in space.

This whole OpenAI gets hyped a lot on HN - it's interesting who is behind OpenAI. They are misusing the "Open" name as there is no substantial open in OpenAI - it's also no open source project - it's not related to OpenGL, OpenAL, etc at all!

I don't get the hype around AI bots for StarCraft 2 and DotA 2. There is nothing special now, we had such bots developed for many years.
It's not nomadic in the sense that nobody was moving thousands of miles in one fell swoop into completely foreign environments full of complete strangers and an unfamiliar culture.
Even outside the US this is true. I live in Lithuania and a couple years ago I started noticing cameras along the side of most highways. They've now started using them to enforce average speeds, but to everyone here it should be pretty clear they are tracking the movements of vehicles (whether intentional or not is a different question).

A lot of other European countries have automated toll roads (sometimes just for HGVs) which do the same thing.

I find the idea of breaking Google and Facebook up under antitrust law kind of intriguing.
A sentinent like "pirates will always find a way to rationalize theft" is unreasonably dismissive and perhaps shaped to protect an ideological position.

This is a question of semantics. You're trying to coopt the gravitas of the word "theft". But theft is the illegal removal of a (physical) item, not copying an item while leaving the original as it is.
The way I think about it is by dividing folks into populations to make sense of the surge:

- There are the people who get it. They get the technology and the implications of this. They've been wanting something like this (not specifically this and not a clear idea maybe) for a long, long time and sort of know what to do with it.. The idea has had time to mature and they were mentally ready. They may have problems deciding on which flavor or "crypto currency company" to bet, but they're 100% backing the concept.

- There are the astrologers/traders who have no grasp of the concept but have no trouble explaining it in expert interviews on CNBC/Bloomberg/CNN Money. Traders are expert at trading: selfie sticks or the greatest "money thing" since Fibonacci's injection of Hindu-Arabic numerals into Roman banking, it's the same different thing. More crudely: if there were a market for excrement, they'd sell the shit out of it. [there actually is]

- Then there's the rest of us. A sucker is born every day. We see all these tulip bulbs and want in on the action.. Oh my, I remember when it was less than $250, if only I had bought then. What? I remember when it was like $40, imagine if I had bought then.. I didn't buy at $300 because it seemed excessive and no profit was to be made, but now, I see it's $4000! So if it went from 300 to 4000, surely it can go up [this reasoning here].. And bam...

So I think these are some of the populations driving the surge.

Bitcoin is in a 100 year bubble. Happy? Taking about misleading people, yet here you are trying to convince people it's a bubble. If you're so sure why not short Bitcoin? I dare you.

I believe in Crypto, I believe it has a future and its need in this world. If you don't that's ok, stay in the side lines getting grumpier and grumpier as time passes.

Cryptocurrencies are not mutually exclusive, this is not Highlander, there can be more than one. Look at Ethereum, already at half the market cap of Bitcoin and it hasn't affected Bitcoin's price in the least. What Bitcoin has over the others is wide adoption and mind-share. Smart money will diversify regardless.

No. This is one of the pitfalls of economics: overly simplistic models that don't (can't) properly account for external factors, and assume everyone has perfect information and behaves rationally.
