New AI That Replicates the Voice of Joe Rogan
I would argue that human attention slice dedicated to entertainment is overall unchanged but transfer has been from traditional TV to online streaming. For the news domain transfer has been from news media to FB.
With people having the expectation of chat to be instantly replied, like a chat in a real life (someone walking to your desk and saying something) it is not asynchronous in any way.

As someone that was in college in 1997, I think that estimate is way low. I bought ~4 CDs per month and so did most of the people I knew. You're forgetting that we traded and sold back discs, and that music was more actively discovered. If you cared about finding music, you'd find local deals and make connections that could stretch a dollar, and most young folks budgeted much more than $10/month. You heard about bands from magazines, friends, a mention in an artist interview, etc, and it was not uncommon to buy more randomly. Hell, I've bought albums simply because the cover looked cool and it was in the right genre.

My point is that music discovery, like all recommendation systems right now, is severely lacking in what made media discovery more meaningful in the 90s - that controlled chaos that led to surprises. Now everything collapses towards the mean of mediocrity. Sure you discover more 'bands' now, but they're belting out the same tracks with an extra half beat or a pitch shift, so I hardly call it 'discovery'. Long-tail used to be more fringe, but high-quality and related, unlike now, where it's the worst within the technical bounds of the algorithm. We're discovering more within our local minima, which is technically discovering more, but in the most frightfully boring way possible.

I would not have been exposed to at least half of the music I regularly listen to now if I had something like Spotify back then. I tried to use Spotify, Pandora, and Google Music, but after a month they each felt like I was listening to generic music station #342398 and I went back to purchasing albums. It's weird when a single album can be more diverse than a station with nearly limitless tracks to pull from.

And don't even get me started on how recommendation services have killed the idea of an 'album' - maybe the most rewarding facet of music production basically wiped out in less than a decade.
Nothing is affordable when you are addicted to opiates, and have to spend every cent to get them.

No one who has been to SF within the last few years would contest that the majority of the homeless there are drug addicts, due to the effective legalization of buying and selling drugs its right in front of your eyes (and under your feet in the form of needles)

You can get rid of the gas giant in your analysis by excluding everything further out than 0.2 AU. The distribution then separates more clearly into to peaks with a gap in between. But that is something I can not get in a minute or two in the online plotting tool.

Also you should be aware that astronomy and astrophysics has quite different conventions for naming things than say condensed matter. Part of the reason is that historically they were a separate science from physics. Part of the reason is that most of the knowledge is gained from (passive) observations, not actively controlled experiments.
The scenario I was describing is a little different: suppose we could detect spina bifida in an embryo before implantation. We could simply opt not to implant the embryo; it’s not the same as abortion, but it does prevent a person with spina bifida from existing. Is that bad in your way of thinking?
Car's are easy to repossess, it's really not too risky to lend out a car and you don't need to substantiate much more than a half decent income and history of timely payments.
Interesting. This comment, along with the one above, made me wonder whether a detailed analysis of this behavior has been undertaken. Pew's Payday Lending in America [0] series of reports is helpful and there are many, many analyses of the impacts of credit cards on spending. I could find nothing on instant deposit payment tools, however.

Tho IKEA works on a different scale compared to most grocers in Germany, their stores are always extremely busy, particularly on Saturdays and they handle a lot bigger wares which means customers having a trolley, sometimes even multiple of them is a more regular occurrence.

With that kind of throughput and the involved logistics of bigger pieces handed out on a trolley at the order counter, introducing the money deposit for the trolleys would massively slow down everything, possibly creating waiting lines at trolley stations as they sometimes happen during busy times at grocers.

At least the employes collecting the carts have electrical little pushing cars, enabling them to push impressively long "snakes" of trolleys.
> For example I have recordings of the Colbert report going back to ~2005. Some of his skits released during that time would be classified as "hate speech" in 2019.

Sanity check for 2019:

* "hate speech" should be a link

* when I click it, it should accordion out into links to recordings of Colbert Report that you classified as "hate speech" queued up to the relevant skits

* when I click one it should start streaming the data from all the peers who care about preserving old Colbert Report videos

* Copyright law should have changed a decade ago to protect people who rebroadcasting exact copies of data that the copyright owner/licensee initially publicly broadcast (where "exact" is verified by checking hashes)
If that were the case, his advice ought to have been something like "use libcrypt with SHA-2" or something like that. Just "use SHA-2" was kinda useless in 2007 and hasn't gotten more useful since then.
When you deal with a solution provided by a startup that is a one man army you can play with the product, but you don't trust it enough to buy it. The story tells exactly why you should never trust such a product. These are not socks, buy a pack of three and throw it away in 6 months, people expect to use the solution for 3-5 year and there is no guarantee there will be updates, upgrades and support even next month. Trust, risk management, rings a bell?

I still remember the first tram I caught in SF, an elderly asian man boarded the tram and bumped into a homeless person. He apologized profusely, and the man turned around and the punched him directly in the face.

No one (including me) did anything or even looked twice.

Disgusting place.
I feel like I've been seeing stories like this, with accompanying microscopic footage, for decades. Has anyone ever built anything more complex than a simple actuator? These things seem to barely qualify as robots.
> That's not what happened, and you should reflect on what made you think such an absurd claim is true.

OK, that's not what happened, but I don't see why you're calling the claim absurd. It is unusual-but-routine for women to present with health complaints that are caused by their own pregnancy, without necessarily having realized they were pregnant. Sometimes that health complaint is "I'm in labor". (To get to that point, you have to be really fat, but it does happen.)

The mandate to for health insurers to pay for healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions caused higher health insurance premiums.

If you want to pay for it with medicare or medicaid, then taxes will go up instead of health insurance premiums.

There's no free lunch, and there's nothing wrong with ACA other than not forcing everyone onto healthcare.gov and eliminating employers from the healthcare equation altogether. That, or just provide healthcare for everyone via taxes. Either way, taxes/health insurance premiums, the cost is going to be borne by everyone one way or the other.
This is wonderfully written.
Yes. Essentially every traditional Walmart and Target store in the US does it that way, regardless of high employment and minimum wage.

Walmart as one example has a motorized cart mover. The employee collects and stacks the carts into a line, backed by the motorized unit, and then can just gently guide the whole flock of carts and it moves along with little human effort. It enables the employee to move dozens of carts at a time across the parking lot without very much physical risk of injury.
the last OR statement "OR 102" will evaluate true.

It should be

Well played. Kudos for creativity (https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler) Thanks for write up and benchmarks.
Not sure, but perhaps because it's not actually a pun?! At least I still don't get it.
I love Integromat. It can do that and anything else. Found them by accident a few months ago when I wanted to automate a few tasks and it has the right mix between configuration and programming.
> The fact that someone hasn't adopted your favorite solution is not evidence of evil intentions. Maybe, just maybe, it's evidence people don't like that solution.

It's evidence that the Linux Desktop community doesn't like that solution. That Linux still has paltry share on the desktop could be taken as evidence that no one else like's their solution.

> The insult is taking something that's a debatable point (we'd be better off with flatpacks) and turning that into "if you haven't yet turned all your efforts into doing what I think is best you're obviously user hostile". That's not an argument.

I don't need to point to package management to show evidence of user hostility, I just need to visit anywhere people ask questions about Linux. Even people who actually like Linux encounter the user-hostile attitude, just check out Gnome's github issues and related comments.

Or you could consider every time you've heard "users don't need that", "users just want <simple lazy strawman usecase>", "users can't be trusted to ...", "users don't like it because it isn't shiny enough", etc. The Linux Desktop community has a cult of user hostility.

> Maybe you should have asked someone what those were before you concluded this was an evil plot to screw over users.

Oh believe me, I know the arguments. I get to hear them literally every time I say "I don't use Linux because I don't like package management". I just disagree with those arguments.

> You keep making accusations about people's intentions and find it strange no one is willing to have a technical argument

Even when you're nice about it people generally aren't willing to have a technical argument about it. I'm passionate about this topic, and having to watch for 2 decades now as people have tried to fix these issues only to be rejected and shunned by the community has made me a bit bitter.

> or work for free on what you'd like to happen.

This is always trotted out when all the other arguments fail. It's a fair point that I have no right to demand that people work for free, but I don't believe I've done that. What I've done is criticize the work they've done for free because it isn't what I want, and they keep asking things like "why isn't it the year of the Linux Desktop yet?". The people who have worked for free towards the things I want have been roundly shunned by the community. Case in point, the article this is all about.

It is a matter or wording: you don't ask for feedback per se, you do user research to understand their needs and their pain points with existing solutions. Developers are not necessarily good communicators :)
Note to the reader: that this would have been for just a pile. A working weapon would have required years more of effort and an enormous investment in industrial plant.
Completely agree with everything you said but the curiosity that drove my initial question still stands. To be specific do you think Sketch / OmniGraffle are unimplementable on Windows? Why would the creators of those apps after achieving such success on OSX, be unwilling/unable to address the windows market. I am convinced there are good rational reasons for this, I was hoping that someone from one of those companies could comment on this. [It is possible that in their target demographic everyone uses OSX, but is that the case?]
> That's an interesting dilemma.

It's not a dilemma at all for those that explicitly choose the GPL over MIT because they believe in Free Software (others might choose GPL for other reasons....).

Being Free and having every user of the software retain their Freedom is the literal point of the GPL. Saying "hey, your software would be used by lots more people if we make a proprietary product out of it" is undermining the entire point of the Free Software movement....

So it's more ethical if 10 people use your software and they retain their Freedom, then it is for 10 million to use it bundled in a proprietary product.
I think the main thing I always see with posts like these are that they always say what could be done but with no plan or process to do any of it. The problem with microbots seems to be a similar problem to spaceflight currently: we can make it and its possible but no current commercial opportunities exist to push the technology past the "we can do it" stage.

The problem is that the condition is parsed as

(user=671156 AND permission=16 AND org=101) OR 102

The right way is to use something like

org IN (101, 102)
I don't think that the general human crash rate is appropriate to compare. It makes more sense to compare, say, a professional bus driver.

As it happens, my uncle drove for a living and I recall he had a plaque for a million miles without an accident.
If you want an education MOOCs, old textbooks and MIT OCW are cheap or free. If you want a degree that costs money because people want their stamped certificate of membership of the bourgeoisie.
IANAL, but I don't think it's "similar" laws, but the exact same law. Cruise ships are just (very inefficiently) transporting human cargo.
PBKDF2 seems to have been specified in 2000 as part of RFC 2898 [1] and, IIRC, existed before then. Bcrypt is from 1999 [2]. Both of those algorithms were explicitly designed to be slow. My understanding is that PBKDF2 wasn't explicitly designed for password storage, but that it was recognized as being useful for that early on. Bcrypt was explicitly designed for password storage. The article referenced came out 7 years later. IMO: there was evidence that salted SHA-2 was not secure.

I wish I could agree with you but the details provided in the post do not help us understand what happened.

We only get very superficial information by one of the rare companies that could typically contribute and help the community by sharing what really went wrong.

Right now, I'm in a situation that forces me to speculate (in addition to reading all the speculation comments below) on whether or not I could do the same mistake than SO did, and that terribly saddens me.
#2: it depends on the kind of team you have. My team of developers never had any chat client installed on their mobile for work use, they were either in front of their computers or away and not available. We did not discuss in airplanes as we were trying to focus when we had discussions, not to board and block the other passengers because we were busy chatting in the middle of the embark flux.

People keep saying (in defense of it) that the Tesla Autopilot does not drive the car for you. As such, it makes no sense to compare its fatality rate to the fatality rate of humans who are driving cars. It seems arguable to me that all those Autopilot fatalities were excess fatalities.
I get some wild stuff in my relatively common firstLast@gmail.com that I’ve had since 2004.

Most memorable was an invite to a Man U friendly in Hong Kong, including a seat in a luxury box. I wrote back and was like you got the wrong guy but can I go? They wrote back and said sure if you can get to HK by Thursday. As a passport-less college student, I couldn’t swing it.

Another time, somebody with my name was some kind of assistant to a congressperson. I got an email that said, “We have something for the senator, where should we send it?” I gave them my address (in Portland, OR) and hoped I would end up in some kind of political thriller situation. Ended up being some dumb poster lol.
And yet... haven't you noticed that supermarkets in posher areas are less likely to have the coin slot? (Asda and Tesco are two whose policy varies by location).

And in supermarkets with large car parks there are return stations all over the car park. Which means you still need to pay trolley herders...

Wasn't there some kind of scam people used to pull where they'd add a prefix to a cell phone's outgoing calls, such that it bounced through a paid service relay? If I recall, someone would nab your phone, add the dialing prefix to the settings, and then return the phone to you. From that point on, all outgoing calls would actually be calling a 900 number, which then just called the outgoing number. The phone's owner would then get caught with a massive bill from the 900 number. It was an updated version of one of those original 'boxes', maybe a modified brown box? I forget all the phreaking terminology now, but I wonder if there's another olde timey phone phreaker trick that could be exploited.

He said to use Bcrypt or SHA-2. One of those algorithms was explicitly designed for password storage, the other was not. They aren't really the same class of algorithm. As such, it doesn't really make sense to suggest one as an alternative to the other. Nobody ever suggests uses Bcrypt as the hash in a hashtable - even if it technically could be made to work. GPUs that could crank through trillions of hashes per second might not have existed, but, that doesn't make it good advice. Good advice would have been "use bcrypt or, if you can't, PBKDF2 (or maybe some other library that implements a variant of one of those)"
EPUB is an open standard, and many (often free) tools can target it, so yes.
In that case you just end up with different kinds of user priorities and developers choosing to deploy their finite resources to address some of them. Not much mystery or sleep disruption left in it then.

If you target the business communication space you are dead in the first second: you cannot compete to Skype for Business, for example, that is backed up and supported by Microsoft (and that matters a lot) and it is already feature-complete. Not unless you have a product that can compete on features and backed up with guarantees you will offer upgrades and support for many years, this is what companies want first.

If so, what do those dimensions represent?

That's true. I remember seeing that kind of thing on it's back, basically feelers in the air that could manipulate items, a really long time ago.

I don't know how to count. You try:

1 adult dependent who ought to move out soon

1 miscarriage

1 unborn

There are eight possible ways to count that up. The resulting sum is 10, 11, 12, or 13.
