Bad actors already use adversarial patterns by mixing up within the civilian population.

This is been to core concept of guerrilla warfare since it was conceived and likely well before it was named.

In fact even outside of war zones bad actors constantly hide in plain sight we just call them criminals rather than terrorists when they aren’t a foreign entity with a political goal (although organized crime can easily fall under the definition of terrorism under certain conditions).

As far as dumb machines go then we already have plenty of systems which already automate much of the killing including target identification and tracking.

We’ve already been over selling dumb machines that make killing easier a human in a conflict zone overloaded with sensor data that makes it easy to hit a target isn’t more likely to make the right decision.

Given the limited window of opportunity and the level of cognitive dissonance any one engage in combat has to develop as coping mechanism the idea that humans are inherently capable of making a moral decision under these conditions is pretty laughable to me.

Illustrative anecdote: when you hear a lightplane or ultralight with a high-rpm 2-stroke engine and a reduction drive turning a slower prop, up close you hear the high whine of the engine, but when it gets farther away you hear only the prop, a much lower sound. It's amazing how much of the sound is from the propeller.

the important thing is that the ledger works. Coins are like gems in the middle ages: some people would price them at $1000 some others at $1. Without mass adoption the discussion about price and its fluctuations is not meaningful.

The argument you're making is a strong argument for cryptocurrency, but not for Bitcoin specifically. Ethereum, Litecoin, Peercoin, Dogecoin, and a wide variety of other cryptocurrencies have the same properties you're describing.

Bitcoin isn't the most advanced cryptocurrency out there. It doesn't have even close to the best technology. Bitcoin's continued dominance is very strong evidence that it's completely popularity, not technology, that drives prices. There are numerous other examples: Peercoin, for example, pioneered a new proof algorithm, but peaked at $10 and is now at $0.38; superior technology doesn't guarantee success. This means that it's entirely possible for another cryptocurrency to surpass Bitcoin, but the technology isn't the driving factor.

With gold, there are industrial uses which drive the price up or down, and you can't just substitute platinum or silver for those industrial uses. You can substitute platinum or silver for gold as an investment, but the laws of physics limit the number of precious metals that can stably exist, so gold is competing with a limited number of precious metals as an investment. Not so for Bitcoin: I can spin up a competing blockchain this afternoon if I want, and there's no limit to the number of competing cryptocurrencies.

What I'm saying is that I think that speaking of Bitcoin as "digital gold" breaks down pretty fast once you analyze it at all.

Some LLVM compilers produce code that (possible with GCC too) can jit itself on a per function on first execution e.g. -march=native so no branches required.

This requires good planning of the game, i.e. this reduces inlining so one needs to be careful with putting the important bits in the JITted code

Still after a while you get a good sense of whether the parcel is accessible by the name alone.

I mean, I guess its a mild problem? Its no different than pulling a quote from a pay to publish article though, the only difference is the amount of cachet these journals have.

Science/Nature/etc are broadcast journals. They're for publishing results that people outside your field would find interesting. Typically these are new and flashy results and sometimes theyre slightly suspect. Mostly theyre not. A refutation or null result typically isn't interesting to the audience of these journals- nor should it be.
Despite the way it is often framed and critiqued, artificial intelligence is not really “artificial” or “alien”: in the usual mystification process of ideology, it appears to be a deus ex machina that descends to the world like in ancient theater. But this hides the fact that it actually emerges from the intelligence of this world.

What people call “AI” is actually a long historical process of crystallizing collective behavior, personal data, and individual labor into privatized algorithms that are used for the automation of complex tasks: from driving to translation, from object recognition to music composition. Just as much as the machines of the industrial age grew out of experimentation, know-how, and the labor of skilled workers, engineers, and craftsmen, the statistical models of AI grow out of the data produced by collective intelligence.

I can totally resonate with that part

That's the primary reason the Bitcoin Core / Bitcoin Cash split 2 years ago now was a difference in opinion about whether or not usage as a payment method mattered. Now you have two competing camps one is pushing the Bitcoin as egold and high fees while the other is pushing Bitcoin as a means of exchange with low fees.

The volatility was solved by the payment processors. In any case the big payment processors support both now. The higher than credit card fees though did kill the use of Bitcoin Core as a payment method in ordinary transactions.
Absolutely. Killing it would be the most useful improvement.
Great article, thanks. I bet this is the one the OP meant to submit.
I am amused by the comment that owning a private landholding will protect them should we hit a time of political and climate driven unrest. Yeah - a paper land deed will definitely stave off the masses hordes in the event of a desperate apocalypse.

Your statements seem to have quite a slant as well.

> 3. [..] I've seen Tesla fan suggesting that Waymo handles Stop Signs by hard coding the location of each stop sign in the map.

I'm sure you'll see uninformed individuals behaving uninformed. But in my experience does this not represent the average of e.g. the r/tesla community. It's surprising to have you specifically mention Waymo, since it was mostly others (especially German car makers) who usually bring up how important high precision maps (or more recently "5G", while we're mentioning buzzwords) is for self driving. My first google result right now was from Lyft [0]. I can totally understand how people less informed on the topic can get that wrong.

> 4. [..] when in reality Tesla's FSD system has seen almost ZERO actual testing anywhere

What? The usual argument I remember is Tesla outsourcing the testing to its customers and the many good reasons against it. But how can you in good faith represent the tesla AP as untested after it has driven millions of miles? Or are you specifically talking about whatever final L5 FSD solution Tesla might come up with one day? Since this obviously cannot be tested yet, since it doesn't exist.

> 5. The Mountain View driver who was killed at the 85/101 on-ramp was the result of a terrible AP regression that failed to handle concrete barriers that it used to handle.

Can you source that being caused by a regression? The best I've found [1] mentions someone else saying it got worse in a comparable spot, but I also remember reading the killed driver having specifically complained to Tesla about the location the crash happened, but not if AP behavior there had gotten better in between.

But yeah, a lot of Tesla's communication around that case was horrible and I also don't feel they do enough to stop their fans and customers from being aware of the technologies current limits.

Visualizing temperature change isn't the problem I've ever had with people. It's always been about: "okay, so what does 1.5C mean?"

I think what we need to be using when we talk about climate change are things like projected coastline and population displacement maps.

I guess I forgot to include the little fact that Reliance is the biggest conglomerate in India and it's owner is India's richest person. Even if Jio had crashed, it would have made a very small dent in Reliance's fortunes.

I included the fibre optic network because most of the other operators don't have a high capacity network like that across the country. Owning your own infrastructure allows you to undercut your opponents because you don't really have to ameliorate them to get access to their infrastructure.

Actually, part of the NSA's mission statement is to secure things.

It's just that that part of the mission has taken a back seat to the offensive, tailored access parts for the past few decades; particularly after 9/11.

I remember reading somewhere a couple years ago that this was actually a bit of a point of consternation amongst the leadership back when Snowden leaked PRISM. My memory fails me however at remembering the exact article...

Gah.
It's like they equate any redistribution of wealth as socialism. Socialism is social ownership of the means of production, not redistribution of wealth (though that's usually a part of it). You can have socialism with unequal redistribution, that's not a fundamental requirement (requirement is that the people are involved in the redistribution process).

I'm guessing they use it because the public doesn't really understand the term. It's like "communism" was anything that happened in Asia that related to the USSR and "socialism" is anything the Democrats want that they don't, when it's more correct to say that the stuff that happened in Asia was socialist (under a communist ideology), and the stuff Democrats want is progressive (shifting taxes more toward the rich) as opposed to regressive (shifting taxes more toward the poor). However, "progressive" is too close to "progress" and obviously Republicans don't want to be seen even more as "going backwards", and that's certainly the message you get from the left.

I just wish politics focused on the pros and cons of a policy, not on name calling and getting support because the other side is "worse". I like a lot of policies from both sides of the aisle (and likewise hate a lot from both), and I just want to know why a candidate supports a given policy and whether they've put in the time to know whether it would help or hurt their constituents (rather than party image/unity).

Sorry. No, I wasn't referring to JIT Manufacturing...

It was merely a tongue-in-cheek to mean just build what's needed right now in front of you, then get it working at scale once there's an actual needs to scale. This is in contrast to starting from day one spending most of your time thinking of scale, then building everything so that it can infinitely scale (along with the complexities that come with it), only to find out that you have 8 users and your data can fit entirely in memory.

Refutations and competing null results get published in different journals all the time. Seminal results get shown to be kind of not seminal 10 years later more often than you might think.

> If a journal publishes a result, they are ethically obligated to publish further work that refutes that result.

This isn't a violation of scientific ethics and I think its a silly argument to make. Journals aren't the parents of research results they publish and somehow responsible for all counter arguments or competing data points.

Well yeah, the Democratic Party seems to be trying to make the term "socialism" have a positive connotation instead of the negative one it has had for decades. Republicans label everything they don't like as "socialism", so the simplest way to fix the negative view of various policies is to reverse the connotation of the word.

Neither side cares about actual definitions of words, they just care about how the public feels about them.

I wish we could change politics to be more of a "roundtable discussion" with the discussion topic being some tangible problem, and each political group promoting some solution with a list of pros and cons. You'd them vote for candidates based on their ability to make rational arguments, not party affiliation.

But no, we don't live in a reasonable world, so we'll have an ongoing mudslinging match where occasionally good policy gets passed. In this world, I hope for a deadlock in Congress because we get good policy so infrequently.

Great to see this on hacker news. E-flux publishes a lot of voices (artists, continental philosophers, and others) that have sound, intellectual criticisms about te ways we incorporate technology into our lives—and I think it’s important for tehnologists to hear them. It’s not common for these voices to reach traditional comp-sci/mega tech spheres.

They put out a nice series of readers based on their journals and other material. I recently read a great one that collected some of the works of Hito Steyerl.
We are expecting 3-9 inches of sea level rise over the next century. Boise is at 2730 feet. The mountains where they are buying this land is even higher. What they are hedging is population growth and the continued migration west. Also people leaving California as it becomes too expensive. Buying land in the far north could be a global warming play as that area will be more temperate in future.

Note regarding Note: It actually has 16*16MB cache. The L3 is split into 16MB segments per CCX, and organized as a victim cache taking lines evicted from the 4 local L2 caches. That is, a single core cannot ever write to more than 16.5MB of cache.

So there's not really any way to run system out of only cache, outside the tiny examples of early boot where all CPUs do this.

I've thought the same thing and then realized the impossibility of it. The reason being, in most western states, there are tens of thousands of patented mining claims. When a claim gets patented, it is private property, including both mineral and surface rights. Lode claims, the most common, are 10.66 acres. I was trying to find the boundaries of a lode claim, knowing which quarter (160 ac) it was in. I ended up finding an old mineral survey marker for one corner of the claim and nothing else. So making an app that lets hikers skirt around private property is going to be quite imperfect unless things are resurveyed with modern technology, a huge and expensive undertaking.

I agree, however I think a balance needs to be struck between liability and groundskeeping, as those are currently the costs that all municipalities cover for their public parks.

Something along the lines of retaining some or most of the tax benefits for the private owner, in exchange for the municipality covering grounds maintenance, and a split between both parties for the liability insurance.

I think that’d be the start of the US developing its own “Freedom to Roam” implementation.
