Let us open free no restriction between china and America software border not one way. Let us do Facebook and Twitter ... no.

Open source is great in a free word and inside a free world. At least the free rider paid but just benefit to their country even they live, study and suck you dry.

I think this continues in US in some degree. US military gets as much money as it wants. Military spends how much money it wants on whatever research it wants.

For me that's the secret weapon of US science. Other countries struggle to allocate any significant portion of the budget to research while in US it's easy because it goes through army under the guise of protecting the country.

I received the label of very high IQ-er early on. Yet, I don’t believe that I’m all that smart. I just spend a lot of time in my head thinking about shit. Oh, and I enjoy solving puzzles.

On the other hand, many of my friends are average IQ-ers, and a few are even below average IQ-ers. Yet, I consider some of them to be very smart, and in some ways smarter than high IQ-ers, especially in niche areas (comedy, expression, intuition, communication, trained skills). They just don’t spend a lot of time thinking about shit like I do, and they hate puzzles.

How does this drive out the curiosity? If anything it encourages it: kid should find out that this button does before pushing it.

On the other hand I struggle to understand people who refuse to read manuals and then struggle for months or even years with some basic functions of the product, when spending two minutes reading the page four of the manual would have saved lot’s of time and frustration.
Algorithms, by Jeff Erickson
In another 500 years.
I have aphantasia (or am on the spectrum) and my mind can only see in "concepts" and flashes of light. I can't think of a banana and "see" it. The closest i get to visualization is recalling photographic snapshots of things but only if i saw a photo of it once.

One interesting aspect are psychedelics. I only get open-eye visuals but almost no closed-eye effects except for light flashes (black & white, no imagery), even on high doses of LSD/Mushrooms. But i do get dream-like, very abstract 'recreations' which are hard to describe. I get to relive memories etc, just not see them.

But, using DMT - i visualize like crazy with abstract / geometric colorful patterns. And even when totally sober, i sometimes dream/recall those patterns during sleep, which wakes me up immediately because it's so overwhelming compared to my dull normal dreams.

This makes me think that i actually can visualize, i just block it out (i'm a very headstrong/rational person) and i'm working with meditation techniques to open the gate (or chakra, if you're esoterically inclined) permanently, so far unsuccesfully.

I do think that more research here would be great as i'm convinced it also impacts creativity and thinking patterns. For example, my strong creativity outlet is music; visual art is foreign to me.
This comment is so useless and belittling.
I've set some modest goals for this year.

* Fix my diet. I'm fit, but my diet is awful, and I feel awful for it. Rather than just cutting out "bad" things I'm going to do some actual research into what I should be eating, what's best for after exercise, how much and how late I should be eating, etc.

* Get married. As of Christmas I am now engaged, so most of this year will be wedding planning. We have an ambitious goal to book something this year.

* Become proficient in another language. I\ve spent a decade working with C#, and I've learned enough Ruby to be dangerous. I'd either like to use Python in anger on a non-trivial project, or pick up something a bit different like Kotlin or Rust.

* Compete in BJJ. I want to do at least one competition at blue belt before being promoted, and if I can get a medal to add to my silver medal at white belt I'll be very happy.

* Apply to a big tech company. I've never managed to get an interview, so I'd love to at least get an interview with one of the top six.
In a neurotypical person the "GPU" of the brain is used for face and body language recognition. I like to think the "GPU" is used for other things when you fit the AS - it seems logical that when using different circuitry for the task you will hit different illusions (different biases in the algorithm).
That's the free market at work I would guess. Zalando seems to see NLP research as a valuable asset so they pay for projects like this plus they open source it assumably because of employer branding. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Its true that IQ is only one of many important factors that lead to success. However IQ on its own turns out to be an excellent predictor of success and also happens to be easy to measure. Most other traits are extremely difficult to quantify.
I preface my statement below with a disclaimer that I live in a "developed" or "1st-world" country but have previously lived and experienced other less developed economies.

Anyway, it feels to me Gates is fixing a real problem but with very 1st world solutions?

> For example, software will be able to notice when you’re feeling down, connect you with your friends, give you personalized tips for sleeping and eating better, and help you use your time more efficiently.

Maybe it is just the skeptic in me but it is a lil captain obvious that more of those activities will give you a better quality of life. In fact, I will say that most people are very aware that they should sleep or eat better or even use their time efficiently and probably wouldn't need any form of software to tell them that. I will even wager that the overwhelming number of people that are feeling down, need more sleep or need to eat better can't do so easily and is possibly due to their personal circumstances such as having to work insanely hours due to (almost uncontrollable) working conditions and/or have a low to middle wage job that won't allow them to have any spare income to eat healthy/organic food.

This feels like a stereotypical 1st world solution to me that will only apply to certain type of people and I say this as someone in the privilege position to do so.

> • I can sometimes switch off pain

This is interesting. Can you elaborate? Is this something you have worked on or is it just intuitive for you?

I have been able to do this exactly once in my life, during a meditation session in which I was meditating on external sounds. I also had acute pain in my elbow, arthritis-related. At one point the access concentration became very focused, my sense of self disappeared and I could not distinguish myself spatially from the sounds I was hearing. At the same time the pain in my elbow also detached from me. It was still all present but it was just no longer my problem. The sense of relief, the surprise that this was possible, and the realisation I could do this with just my mind, the blissful feeling from the intense concentration; it all added up and I simply broke out into surprised, joyful, laughter. It dissipated in a minute or two after that. Therefore I'm curious by what you mean about being able to do this.

Portland's transit system is OK. The MAX works well, but it has been neutered by NIMBYism: the new orange line has only a few stops in Milwaukee and goes no further. (And for that they hired three full time cops when it opened). The green line was supposed to be a loop, but it simply goes out to the Clackamas Town Center (just a few miles south of the border with Portland proper). The yellow line stops short of Vancouver, WA across the river, and we spent $4.5 million on coming up with several failed plans for a new bridge. The new line headed SW has to be voted on by the city of Tigard. It'll go up to the bottom of the OHSU hill, but they chose to simply increase the number of shuttles.

The buses are mostly reliable and can get you downtown. But several areas feel underserved, especially if you live outside Multnomah county.

Credit Repair
Happy New Year Y’all my name is Martial; I hold Ghost in a very high esteem perhaps this post. I had a lot of debts previously. Credit card, loans, and a whole lot of other debt. Debt collectors have been embarrassing me with several phone calls and text. I’m so stressed out that my depression and anxiety multiplied tenfold. Today makes it exactly a month ever since I came in contact with Ghost who cleared my debts, removed all derogatory items from my profile including the hard inquiries and increased my score to 798 in less than 15 days. I vowed to always appreciate them for what they did for me. I must confess these guys are good. I’m sure so many other persons are in this situation or even worse, you can contact them and get your life restored email: (Ghostvirus789@gmail.com or text: +1 (205) 418 0498) and please don’t forget to mention my name to them. Have a Prosperous New Year. Martial Sikora
I am very confused.

On one hand people give some credit to IQ yet fail to acknowledge it's not Europeans or American who have highest IQ but the East/Central Asians.

But people from Askenazi Jewish tribe posses even higher IQ.

No one really knows why high IQ originates in that region or specific tribe.

But it's them who made their way to America before Europeans.

Genetic research has proved that the native Americans are genetically Central Asians.

It's safe to assume IQ = superior ability to adapt to your environmental not intelligence.

It helped you survive genocide targeted at you orchestrated by one of most powerful regime of the time.

It helps you survive in the most difficult and diverse terrain.

It helps you walk through the frozen land into completely different climate and terrain, still manage to surive.

IQ is everything which helps you survive in your environment but it doesn't mean that high IQ people are capable of empathising with the large set of population with average IQ. Should these people whoes primary instinct is to surive at any cost themselves be given chance to thinks for others? No we don't think so.

So we shouldn't have high IQ people at top, we should actively select against them.

In modern word as you go farther from the mean, the benefit of IQ decreases till ofc we are hit by an apoclyspe you'll not be able to see what high IQ is capable of.

You'd have to do the same modifications to the baseline models to adapt them to a different domain. If they managed to shave off percentage points on a large number of benchmarks, then it's likely that using their models will also help you with the task you care about.

The Question Concerning Technology (1949) [pdf]
Environmentally-lit User Interface
Well, it's incorrect. I recently realised that I have got aphantasia too (in my late 30s!) and have talked to a fair few people now about it, including artists.

I've also 'cured' it, using a technique called image streaming, which most aphantasia sufferers can do. Very few aphantasia sufferers are actually incapable of using their mind's eye. It's hard, but apparently it gets better with practice. I have "seen" a mind's eye picture. It took me about 6 days before I saw something. I've not kept it up as it was kinda cool, but I've got enough projects on at the moment without adding another.

An easy test for you is to ask a friend to picture a person. Now ask what colour their coat is. For me and you, we have to make that up, add a new property to the description that is essentially a list of properties we know a person should have. For them, they already know, as they've "seen" a picture of that person. They don't say that they'll add the purple coat property to the list of characteristics, they have already seen a picture where the person was wearing a purple coat.

It's not mass delusion, it's a real thing. Also, of interest, is that there are degrees of skill, so some people have extremely vivid mind's eye, and some people have fuzzy, or black and white, or not very detailed, etc. Here's a good starter article:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34039054
The article is pretty convincing that that won't solve the problem. Eg, "Things can change, though, if drones fly in swarms" and "from a technical perspective a drone can fly 2,000 feet up just as easily as it can fly near the ground".

The tallest fountain is 260 meters/853 feet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain#The_tallest_fountains... .

As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Fahd%27s_Fountain points out, "The water it ejects can reach a speed of 375 km/h (233 mph) and its airborne mass can exceed 16 tonnes (18 short tons)."

So it's going to be very hard to take down a drone at 2,000 with a water cannon, even if the drone is directly over the cannon.
French doesn't put spaces before single-part punctuation like periods or commas.
OK, so I'm either aphantasic, or there's some semantic confusion. Perhaps with me, I admit.

But anyway. Normally, I do not see stuff that isn't (arguably) there. With my eyes open, or closed. But I can imagine stuff, and reason based on those imagined images or whatever. That is, I can do all those object rotation tests. I can imagine some thing, and create it in wood or metal, without anything but crude drawings.

Or when I read a good description of a fight, for example, I can imagine how it would work. Or not, if it wouldn't.

But is this basically a form of blindsight?

Also, it was my impression that people who experience stuff that isn't there are typically diagnosed with some sort of psychosis. And from my experience with psychedelics, I know what that's like. Even with good marijuana, I sometimes see and hear people talking to me, just before I pass out.

I can't imagine how it would work if I were constantly seeing stuff that isn't there. How could I, for example, drive a car? Or walk across the room, even?

So am I confused, or aphantasic?
I remember an article about an architect who lost his mental visualization, he had no problem performing mental rotation puzzles. Can't seem to find the article, unfortunately.
In general, from reading a lot about this a few years back (when I found out "seeing a picture in your mind" is not just a metaphor...) it seems aphantasiacs don't have any difficulty with any kind of mental task.

Edit: here's the article, rotation stuff is in the 2nd paragraph on page 2.

Yes, it would be quite different. It’s be readable, to start with.

Also, GP was complaining about the font — which is very decidedly /not/ made for legibility. You’ve added colours to the hypothetical, slightly changing the argument.

Also, what’s with the crack about Material design? That has nothing to do with anything, least of all the well-studied and thoroughly understood principles of text legibility.

No, people don’t go into art galleries and complain about them not adhering to user interface design principles because that’s absurd and irrelevant. This is text intended for people to read, not a drawing. Your argument is a weird straw man one.
It would be interesting if programmers took "sketching" to be a valuable and necessary part of programming. It's common practice for painters to make a pencil draft first. It's common in industrial design to produce prototypes.

The issue is that in art or industrial design, someone can't reasonably sell the prototype as a completed work. With software, particularly anything that is web-based, as soon as a sales person sees anything that vaguely resembles something they can sell, they will sell it. Sales means bookings/income, so that prototype becomes the MVP.
The real problem with countries and debt is the people who take out the debt aren't the people who have to pay it off. This is a real flaw in the system.
It's a combination of the other comments response about having to still manage state for invalidation and the issue with the none algorithm. JWTs specify the algorithm their signature was encoded with in the alg field of the header. There was a decent portion of JWT libraries that by default honored the alg : none. This would allow the algorithm field to be changed to none even though the JWT had a signature and the libraries would successfully validate the JWT.

After watching that video on the court ruling re: DMCA I agree with you that it's pretty clear Stardock are in the wrong here. In my comment above I just wanted to point out it's possible to own IP and distribution rights a particular media release, without necessarily owning franchise IP and future distribution rights.

However, it seems that while Stardock supposedly thought they bought the Star Control (lore) franchise/IP from Atari/Accolade; that's simply not the case as Atari never owned the franchise, just Star Dock 3 additions to the franchise and the trademark.
