Ah, thanks, this makes a lot of sense to me.

For me, one of the key determinants in how I write most code is how approachable it will be to the next person. Because anything significant is going to involve more people, and I don't want to have to be chained to my past successes.

I think there's an analogy with writing. If I'm writing something for myself, or for a narrow, specialist audience, I can indulge my desire for all sorts of things: abstruse ideas, obscure words, Dickensian sentences, punny wordplay, tangents galore. But when I'm writing here I try very hard to rein those desires in. Because here the writing isn't about me.

So I think LISP's ability to turn my ideolect into a tower and creeup up into it is exactly what I don't want in a tool.
We will eventually do a web version (perhaps sooner than we'd originally imagined, based on feedback here!).

At a high level, we want to be a tool that you use for a few minutes at the most, perhaps not even daily. But as long as we're able to help you get out into the real world and meet / call your friends, we will have achieved our objective.

We aren't a social network — we have no feed, and employ no growth hacks (we would love for you to invite your friends because you want to). We don't consider ourselves social media either. We're a tool closer to your calendar app than to your Facebook/Instagram.

When we spoke with our initial users (friends and family), we found that there were two main reasons why people didn't stay in touch with others as much as they'd like:

1) They weren't sure if the other person (typically a dormant friend) was interested in staying in touch
2) They weren't sure when the other person was free (especially if time zones were an issue)

This is why we added the ability to share your availability with your close friends — our first 'multi-player' feature. Everything else can be used standalone ('single-player') — in fact, you could even manually add contacts without even putting in their phone number if you so choose.

I'm curious to hear how you feel about the app if you were to try it and use it. Please do reach out to us (support@millow.app) if you're up for it — we're a two person team and are eager to engage with our users (and potential ones), and are especially interested in critical feedback!
I wonder if that works on the most important currency of all - time.

wouldn't a GAN be able to tune it until it passes the deep fake detection test?
Lay people, yes, but lay people also believe in ghosts and angels. Lay people believing it doesn't make it true. Scientific reasoning shows compatibilism is inaccurate, But just how like how belief in an scientifically absurd afterife can make people happy, being scientifically correct is not equivalent to having a good life. And this is a potential definition of the essence religion or wait, properly opposed to science: faith can make you happy even when you are wrong, and losing that faith makes you unhappy. Therefore, having faith is the correct choice for an ideal human life. It's right to be wrong.
I find it interesting that feedback like this still abounds (and for good reason), considering the many tools and frameworks and services available online today. Apparently the field for delivering another tool or service continues to remain green :)
However undesirable it appears at first, it does prevent the creation of an infinite number of new, incompatible languages.
Config languages tend toward turing completeness and just become turing tarpits. That's why I'm asking about using a Lisp which is extendable to its problem domain.

Oh, you totally should be able to take off for a year. The same way you can elect not to go to university. Or look in the laser. You just have to live with the consequences. And in many, many professions, a year or so out of practice means that you are measurably worse. Maybe (but likely) worse than before you left, but almost certainly worse than you could be if you would have used that year to get better at what ever you do.
yeah this is the one I was thinking of

> anti-evolution, anti-climate change, anti-Big-Bang crap from my conservative family

At least anecdotally, my conservative family is like this because those topics have been used in the past to attack/bludgeon their religious beliefs which leads my family to dig in their heels, double down on their beliefs, and close their minds to accepting them.

I've made a lot of progress by instead showing how those things are not only not anti-religious topics, but quite the opposite - they bring us closer to the truth of how God accomplishes what he does. Once they feel that their core beliefs are not being threatened, but merely augmented, it's much easier to accept them.

Does that add up? Doesn't the human brain have several more zeroes on there? Maybe 'worm brain' or 'lizard brain' would be a better description?
"familiar syntax"? Perhaps if you use Haskell or ML. That's probably a tie with s-expressions for popular syntax, but definitely not familiar to most people.

I really like nix the package manager and like NixOS the distribution, but learning nix the language was an awful lot of work, and I'm not convinced that it couldn't have been accomplished with a language that is more familiar (Guix demonstrates that baked-in lazy evaluation is not necessary). Even tiny things like "sets" as a name for an associative data type make it just that much harder to learn.
I agree with your skepticism, but it's important not to fall back on the other end : i.e., "I know there's no difference between men and women therefore the policies are wrong !"

Second, I don't think anyone is blaming women here. Choosing (or being pressured by the environment) to have more 'gendered' (whatever that means) career path is not necessarily a bad thing.

It can become a bad thing if it hinders opportunity, but not before
Carpooling to the database, or “7x more throughput with this one dumb trick”
This article, while obviously PR, is confusing to me. It seems to pin too much emphasis on the nature of its hardware as if that's enough to "emulate" the brain. If they don't have folks at the calibre of Deepmind to drive this thing, can it really go very far?

What it could be useful for is neural structure modeling at a more primitive layer, even if the end outcome isn't usable for practical consumption.

This is a convoluted interpretation of utilitarianism, which is the moral justification for progressive taxation in the general case.

The last 10 bucks of a rich person are worth less to him than the last 10 bucks of a poor person in terms of diminishing returns.

What I dislike enormously about utilitarian arguments is that, provided some evidence, you can justify anything. For example: why ever spend money on homeless people that will not work: its better to spend that money in literally anything else.

This is really cool, but I have a question. If we go back to using actual film does this help at all? I can imagine cameras and recorders for things like war capturing two copies; one digital, one film. If there are unfakeable or hard to fake artifacts in film one could imagine the recordings could validate each other. It would also make good insurance against cyber attack from illiberal governments.
I will take it a step further and argue that only independently wealthy people should be research faculty, at least in the USA, because the ability to make a living as a professor without being forced to compromise one's ethics in the service of grant-whoring is a matter of grave concern. In the past, only aristocrats had the leisure and funding to pull off the work. Approaching science without bias, without masters (e.g. who holds the purse strings) is very important and is the #1 difference in today's world.
We have control over cultural things and if theses things bring a life that we can define as inferior, then I believe we should change that culture.

The culture make women an object of desire, which increase sexual misconduct toward them. We can change that culture, shouldn't we?

Look at women in the middle east, that's purely cultural. Is it alright?

Culture bring racism, is it alright?

>what does it matter what is the reason for these preferences?

The same way we can fix a bug in a software, we can fix our culture to remove theses faults. Equal opportunities means that there's no fault. We are equals, thus there's no reason for culture to make us different. It's alright for a men to want to raise his family, he shouldn't have to bear the weight of the culture that tell him that it's his wife job to do it.

1M ... 1,000,000

Powers of 10 ... 10 fingers on the ape-man. Such a weird non computing number to be thrilled with.

I expect randos on the internet to act like trash (if for no other reason, a chunk of the people acting like 12 year olds really are 12).

I don't understand why the response from people that should know better is to act surprised at them, and feel justified in stooping to such low levels and pettiness themselves.

Well, I guess I can make guesses as to the "why," but none of them are answers that would let me sleep well at night if I were the one doing it. Maybe the sleep deprivation is why they're so cranky.

Just by itself, long passwords will result in people using "franklymydearIdontgiveadamn" and other things susceptible to a dictionary attack.

Long passwords plus a bad password check (https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-launched-pwned-passwords-v...) might suffice. However, without that check, I suspect requiring special characters marginally improves entropy in practice.
The title is very misleading. They store some fingerprints of some photos in their server and then they compare them with the fingerprint of the viral images. If the viral image is a variant of the image previously submitted they can spot the difference, even a single pixel difference. (I don't know if the algorithm is robust enough to survive cropping, brightness correction, and other modification that are allowed.) (You can get a single pixel difference detection with MD5, CRC32, sha1, … the difficult part is not overdetection.)

They can't get an unknown image and classify it as real or deepfake.
I didn't see you mention TNF inhibitors. Have you tried Humira, Simponi, Enbrel, etc? Those took me from bed-ridden with a cane to currently training for a half marathon (over the past 8 years of treatment).

You can satisfy most entropy requirements without even trying by using a password manager's "create random password" feature. I feel the more important thing to attack is making password management more approachable to laypeople.

To your point though: the most bothersome constraint put on passwords by applications and web sites are limits such as restricting certain special characters (To what end? You're going to hash it anyway, so why limit my special characters? You are going to hash it, right?) and limiting password length to something surprisingly short like 16 characters.

I feel that a large percentage of the perpetually homeless, not those who were living paycheck to paycheck and ended up homeless for a few months, have such severe mental illness that they simply can't get "back on their feet". Usually schizophrenia or narcotics addiction.
I'd be curious to see if their illness caused the homelessness or they developed it from the trauma of living on the street.

^ Yep.
We haven't found any apps that did exactly what we're doing:

1) Single-player mode: let you add friends in manually, set reminders and log when you do meet or call

2) Multi-player mode: let you share availability with your inner circle (and vice versa) so you can more easily find times to meet or call (especially useful across time zones)

We want Millow to be simple and focused on a very short list of use cases, rather than trying to do too much.
> Apart from usability most systems eighter rely on things that are hard to change (biometrics), things that can be copied (keyfiles, cookies, software) or things that can be stolen (hardware token).

Actually... When you log on with a password today, an Identity Provider like Google or Microsoft typically issues you a "ticket granting ticket" (TGT) which you can use to get more tickets. The TGT is stored in a cookie on the web or in the OS. This TGT is something that be can copied. So, today, when you log on, you provide your password to get something that can be copied that you then use to log on to various services. Point being, something that can be copied is in the flow anyway, so switching from password to something that can be copied and revoked is only an improvement.
This could be a tradeoff. But also, I have full disk encryption and an index I can search that is itself encrypted. Eventually doing this over internet wires will not be an issue, and may not be much of an issue for many already.

To your second point: indeed this could be run locally instead, if one is that concerned about storing sensitive information online
Sorry for my super naive question, but since 45 billions of saudi money is in the fund and that fund is said to be 100 billions, does it mean that saudi owns 45% of it and, consequently, more or less 45% of the stuff it funded (be it by shares, intellectual prperty or whatever mean) ???

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is a great resource for common sense and exhaustive coverage of these sorts of things:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/compatibilism/

Classical free will, going back to Hobbes, is really just that sometimes we act unencumbered by external forces. Determinism posits that no one can act other than how one ultimately does.

Those could be compatible.

There is a difference between me deciding to stay in a room after careful deliberation, and me being chained to a wall in that room in spite of my protest.

Even if the future is fixed, there's still a difference between a person being forced to do something by an external actor and a person doing something they would ordinarily do.
The computer program BACON (1987) of Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon was given the distances of planets from the sun together with their period of revolution and it independently rediscovered Kepler's third law, illustrating how far the positivism at work in "AI" can go. But Kepler's achievement was not determining a - straightforward - relation between two rows of numbers: it was to figure out which numbers should be related, and Kepler's real achievement was actually finding the right question. Incidentally, Kepler stated a fourth law relating planets to perfect polyhedra, and one wonders why this fourth law has not been rediscovered by computer yet...

> but at the same time I also don't see any clear logical flaw in it.

Great example! And I agree. The example you give is one of the reasons I have with progressive taxation, by the definition of %. Someone with 1,000,000 income and someone with 30,000 paying the same rate, the richer pays a lot more than he will use from the state. So in effect, a flat-tax rate is most likely already progressive.

I am in favor of a flat tax-rate for all, without deductions or exceptions. And I would go a step further and make the contributions public or pseudo-public.

Compatibilism rests upon the concept of philosophical zombies. It says that since you can't know someone else's internal state, you can assume they have free will, because assuming they don't gave free will doesn't change anything you can observe. It basically says that free will is an unanswerable question, so it swaps in a different question that is answerable.

Its akin to p-values in statistics (probability of evidence given hypothesis) being used in place of a what we really want to know (probability of a gypothesis given evidence).
