You may want to elaborate on the "can not be matched by our technology" aspect. I'll try.

An "80 IQ" manager will fail at the list of six tasks, and a "120 IQ" manager will be a success, by most peoples analysis.

Surely, an intelligent but inadequate AI would be mentored like an intelligent but inadequate human manager. We have millennia of experience proving humans can't do that successfully. Therefore if we invent an inadequate AI, regardless of being close to human performance, we know we can't improve performance to make them useful. We play games with re-rolling the dice, but the clock time and human labor time make that too expensive (although it works for mere numerological metric number optimization problems). We play games with pretending that the history of flipping honest coins implies something about the honest coin although it implies more about self delusion and statistics. We play political games where the leader is useless but at least the leader is our guy, our kind of people.

Sure, for the sake of argument, I'll take it on faith we can build a mentally disabled AI manager. But we know based on centuries of experience we have no idea how to "fix" a mentally disabled manager into something successful. This is not necessarily a complete black pill. A developmentally disabled AI might, if its merely disabled and not evil, be handy to provide minimal supervision to small children or animals in a safe controlled environment. Its just not going to be very useful.

Maybe rephrased, that's nice that some believe we can run a marathon, and maybe we can get part way, but if we absolutely know based on substantial experience we can't upgrade an athlete to run the critical last 100 feet to break the tape and finish, then why bother? Or if we have to build a bridge 1010 feet long if in separate experiments we know we can't extend a bridge past 1000 feet long then it doesn't matter if we have faith or belief that we can build it 10 feet or 950 feet or 999.9 feet because we know once we hit 1000 feet we have no idea how to get it to 1010 feet based on centuries of trying really hard using off the shelf cheap self reproducing biological bridges of 1000 feet length.

My greatest fear of AI is it will turn political and we'll no longer be able to talk about the science and technology of AI; it'll just be another dog whistle signal for one side or another, like many other topics "discussed" here on HN. Kool kids will have the right blind faith, the enemy will have the wrong blind faith.
Any informed commentary on the pros/ cons of this vs cluster?

How to write focused on conversion and optimize your sales
The first principle thing is interesting because I've seen Elon Musk hammer that point in many of his talks.

SpaceX was started because he sat on a plane and worked out the cost to orbit is limited only by fuel costs if you can make things reusable.

It's something I've considered frequently since.

Though I'm nowhere near as smart as Feynman or Musk.
But wouldn’t people still have those ideas? My worry is that preventing their discussion you never know how many people think a certain way until it is too late.
Scientists are also trying to build a cohesive whole: their research needs to be relevant to the rest of the scientific discussion or people won't bother with it.

Likewise, software engineers have incentives to carve out fiefdoms within their company as a path towards recognition and promotion; building one's own team/department within a company begins with these kinds of contributions.
Wait what? Why are they getting rid of simplicity and model that just works. Once again Microsoft managed to put on some C# programmers on JS. The first thing they thought was why doesn’t it support threads! Let’s build thread support and get a promotion!

Edit: I would question usage of Node if everything you are doing is CPU bound. I think people started down-voting me without going through docs, I mean just read this documentation page and tell me this is right https://github.com/Microsoft/napajs/blob/master/docs/api/mem...
It seems odd to me that they’ve made this special part of the chip but it won’t be enabled until a future software update that will come out 1+ months after release.

The basic idea of using special hardware makes sense. Apple has done the same thing, and as you get more and more data off the sensor this seems like the only way to do analysis/adjustment in real time without wasting a ton of power.
Doctors, police officers, and teachers are individuals hired to do a particular job. They have responsibilities at those jobs. If they cannot or do not want to do them, they are free to quit, switch careers, or face the consequences of their actions. Outside of that job, they are free to associate or not associate with anyone they choose.

A grocery store is a private entity. Outside of banning someone for being a protected class, they are free to refuse service to anyone. Even if someone is a protected class, they still can be banned for valid reasons (i:e; stealing, threats, etc). Being a racist is not a protected class. Nor should it be. The grocery store has the right not to do business with them.

Facebook and Google are private entities. They can refuse service for any reason (with some restrictions). They have no ethical obligation to give service to everyone. No one has any obligation to use Facebook or Google's services either.

TL;DR: Outside of a few legal requirements, no one has any obligations to associate with anyone.

I'm no economics expert so there's probably flaws in this idea but I've been wondering if we should levy a tax on usury (in its older interpretation). Looking at all the ways that money flows from the poor to the rich, it seems usury (in the form of profits derived from rent and interest) are large contributors.

This has traditionally been the position in Judaism, Christianity and Islam (and I think many tribal societies would greatly frown upon it).

Seems like those 'other' groups were generally defined by biological characteristics, not ideologies, no? I guess the 'anti-communist' movement would fall under ideology, not biology, but the majority of examples I can think of that you're alluding to have to do with biology, no?

I knew a proofreader who had been a Linotypist until one day he bent over to pick up the next magazine and could not straighten up.

And then you have different lists of installed packages in your development
environment and in the production and even between two different production
servers (which can silently and/or subtly break your software), and you need
to manually install all the C/C++ libraries and compilers and non-Python tools
and whatnot, and the upgrade process takes a lot of time and can break on
problems with PyPI and/or packages that went missing, and you can't even
sensibly downgrade your software to an earlier version.

Yes, avoiding learning how to properly package and deploy your software is
totally worth this cost.
Ah, nice. That's why I mentioned that the article indicated that.

I'm actually in the market for a small device that runs Linux and is officially supported. I'm going to head back out on the road and I'm thinking that a smaller device that fits in a backpack would be nice and I generally avoid Windows.

The price isn't too bad. If I lose it, I won't much care. That's a definite bonus. So, this will be on my list. Thanks for correcting the article.

Edit: Just so I know, what criteria are you using for 'official?'

Therein lies the best career advice I could possibly dispense: just DO things. Chase after the things that interest you and make you happy. Stop acting like you have a set path, because you don't. No one does. You shouldn't be trying to check off the boxes of life; they aren't real and they were created by other people, not you. There is no explicit path I'm following, and I'm not walking in anyone else's footsteps. I'm making it up as I go. - Charlie Hoehn
Probably, but there is probably a market for it still.

Other options could be something like https://uk.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_372953.html?wid=25 (much cheaper) with a bluetooth keyboard, I've seen people report success with Linux on certain ~7" tables (again much cheaper, just add bt keyboard and case).

If connectivity isn't an issue you don't even need Linux on the device directly: I've RDPd to Windows and SSHed to Linux from my phone before now. I've always got a machine on (or wakeable via WoL) somewhere that I can use. You can do the same from a tablet tethered to a phone. There are X servers for Android too, though I've not tried any of them yet (if I did it would only be to play, in reality if I need anything like that I'm breaking out the laptop or waiting until I have access to something else useful).
For pair programming you might try using Screenhero. Or screenshare using Skype or whatever IM tool you use (lag can be an issue if you have a slow network connection)
Why would anyone want a device of such inconvenient size for a human being? This size seems optimized for a falcon (superhuman eyesight) with huge pockets. I thought these were extinct.

You'd want it either <=4.5" so it fits comfy in a normal person's pocket (5" phones are bearable but incredibly annoying), or >=10" to be able to actually see stuff on the screen (ever tried one of those horrible 6-8" tablets?). Heck, even most women's purses can accommodate a 13" device easily...

For you it's just an animation, for people who are actually sick by looking at it it's a software update that just made their device unusable if it can't be turned off permanently.
That's the joke.

The comment that brought up Dublin was in response to a comment about Sweden.
I am just curious, how much effort went into side channel mitigation, etc? There are a lot of things libsodium does to mitigate side channels that aren't obvious or documented.
Cluster runs multiple processes, this is multi-threaded. So everything is isolated there, communication can happen only through IPC mechanisms, and high memory overhead. In case of threads its typical synchronization with of course shared memory side effects. It’s a typical thread vs process debate.

What if you have a large shared in-memory data structure
that you want to update with lots of irregular translations in parallel? Like many graph problems? How are you going to do that with multiple containers? As in industry we just don't understand how to distribute that kind of problem effectively.

In Europe the tax system works very different, e.g in The Netherlands they would tax you ~1.2% on the return of your stock investment tax plus the other taxes that you would pay means that for middle class incomes saving 1 million is basically impossible.

This is far from the first attempt to do bring multithreading/parallelism into JS. A (failed) example:

There are no easy answers like 'just allow everything'. Should Facebook be sending embeds to 'legalize child porn' groups to help them focus their ads? What if they call themselves 'remove the restrictive and undemocratic age of consent laws' groups?

> This is not an all-or-nothing proposition, there’s no reason for the slope to be slippery.

I think that if you draft your country's constitution to say, "We have freedom of speech, except for calling for genocide and/or denying the Holocaust," then that can work reasonably well, and it won't necessarily turn into a broader ban. If you actually write a short list of exceptions into your constitution, then that can work.

But the US constitution isn't written that way. We have very broad freedom of speech, and the only way to curtail it is via the Supreme Court deciding that certain kinds of speech are somehow an exception to rules. Libel and slander are, of course, exceptions, but they're ancient ones with a lot of case law explaining exactly what's forbidden. There are other exceptions, mostly involving things like angry mobs.

But if you want to start saying, "This speech is forbidden because it promotes bad ideas," then you need to fundamentally change how the Supreme Court interprets the first amendment. And once we go there, then we have no idea where we're going to wind up.

I would never try to tell someone they should have kids, or make someone feel like there is anything wrong with not having them. But going on vacations or having luxury items seems so trivial compared to what I've experienced since my son was born.

I don't think I'm capable of putting into words what it feels like when the doctor hands you that baby. But I can say that I don't care as much what kind of vehicle I drive, or what clothes I'm wearing, and it seems silly how much thought I used to put into such things.

But I do see enough parents who obviously see their kids as nothing but an anchor to know that it's not for everyone. Some people aren't ready, or incapable, of shifting the focus away from themselves.

The law does not refer to vague "hate speech" (or a translation thereof) or extends any definition of illegal content. Instead it lists specific types of content for which there is decades of legal precedents. It extends the liability of platforms (which makes them more eager to delete borderline cases) but does not change anything about the legality of content itself.

(FWIW, I see many problems with that law and it should never have passed but there is so much misinformation being spread that it gets tiring to correct.)
Thank you for sharing that. I wish more people like yourself, who have first-hand experience, would speak out. As you noted, the rhetorical techniques they use are not in good faith. We need more actual witnesses to testify against it, because such personal testimony is less susceptible to the deceptive, distracting non-arguments they use.

> To me, it's a wasted effort. This energy all those bright young people invest there could be directed towards coming up with something really new or at least making what we have more social. I hope they'll get there one day.

Indeed. This seems to be the troubling outcome of their long-term efforts in academia. It often seems like humanity is doomed to repeat the horrors of history, not only because our memories are so fragile, but because there are always a few dedicated to systematically erasing them. What a tragic waste of human resources. We could stand on the shoulders of giants, but instead we are pulled back into the crab bucket.
