>>The world is the way it is now because humans are the only source of intelligent signal processing. That’s the only reason why humans enjoy the limited rights and privileges that they do. That’s the only reason why life has gotten better and better with advancing medicine and so on.

That's actually an interesting point I haven't thought of before. I disagree with you though. You could have made the same argument during the industrial revolution, but capitalism, democracy and civil liberties are still around.

Also, you're assuming that human symbiosis with AGI is not possible. Nature is full of examples of organisms that are in symbiotic relationships. Of course, nature is also full of organisms that kill and eat and parasitise other organisms.

But the advantage that we humans have is that we are actually creating AIs/AGIs. And since we are creating it, we have influence over what it becomes, whereas, your average clownfish really doesn't have a say over what form his anenome takes.

And if that is the case, wouldn't you want free societies to have expertise in these technologies and to be fine tuning them so that they work for the common benefit?

Why should anyone believe that we can stop authoritarian govts from developing AGI when we can't even stop them from enriching uranium, where the capital costs are much higher?

For better or for worse, it is almost always the case that the difference between societies that hold economic and political power and those that don't is technology. I live in the US, I enjoy my civil liberties, and I would much rather we master these technologies ourselves and have the security that wealth and power provides us. Not saying democracy or capitalism are perfect, but they beat all of the alternatives.

Edit: added another thought
"While we attempted to match several nutritional parameters between the diets, the ultra-processed versus unprocessed meals differed substantially in the proportion of added to total sugar (54% versus 1%, respectively)."

It's an interesting study, but I would still like to see more strict calorie for calorie, and macro for macro match.

By allowing the participants to eat freely and by having so much more sugar in the processed diet, all this really shows is that processed diet was leaving participants more hungry so they ate more.
You could say the same thing about experimental high-energy physics.
I was a bit worried about some of that missing functionality - just turned it back to RMB - and yeah, you're absolutely right. I thought stuff like alt-click not working was me just losing my mind. I wanted to learn the new stuff just because I don't want to end up bound to a bunch of input conventions that will end up depreciated - and I don't really care that much about LMB and RMB, or indeed any of the old blender UI, but I don't want to start using the tools on the left, since they are, as you say, useless. I'm more a 'select things, do an operation on them' kinda guy, so using a tool in edit mode (with a few exceptions) is kinda neither here nor there.
I’m still skeptical. The memory usage chart from the article shows only a slight (10%?) improvement for single-workspace Slack clients, now at around 250MB.

Yes, getting a 5+ workspace client down from ~800+MB to 300MB should be applauded - but the 250MB floor is still too high.

I want to know what’s in the 250MB it’s still using.
I have a couple of shares on the app for a company. Just for anecdotal data. It’s fun to see. I would never put large amounts of my money in there.
Care to elaborate? I was under the impression that Indexes are treated the same way as stocks.
Again, I already made it clear that this has nefarious purposes.

But there is zero utility in keeping the larger dataset secret. Society is not safer as a result.

The only reason they ever framed it the way they did was to get media attention.

"This AI is so dangerous, the creators are refusing to release it to the public!" is going to get way more clicks than "This AI writes English sentences that almost appear coherent.".

If you want more funding and attention towards your project, you're going to say stuff that gets journalists' attention.

FWIW, only noname and Sandisk cards have given up the ghost on me. Samsung Pro & Evo cards have been doing just fine. Other than that, you just need to worry about getting proper power. Just use the official power supplies, and you're fine.

Shooting people from the moon is probably the least practical military endeavor ever seriously contemplated, and that is saying a lot.

What I've noticed is that much of the distaste with Electron apps has more to do with the idea of waste than with the actual practical implications. Programmers like things to be efficient and optimized. Electron sacrifices those traits in a couple of ways, in favor of actual productivity.

So "the downsides of Electron outweigh the downsides of native apps" when you're someone who patrols the task manager looking for things to be upset about. Your chat client - one of half a dozen applications you realistically have open - using 400MB of RAM on your 32GB workstation does not have a meaningful impact on your workflow. It's just offensive.
In my experience this isn't caused by exhausting the endurance of the flash. It seems like a lot of SD cards have really buggy firmware. And that Linux running on a RPi is particularly prone to triggering these bugs. Industrial SD cards seem to hold up better.

Early iterations of the RPi boards apparently had some bad design choices in the power circuitry, which makes the problem worse.
Csound is as healthy as it has arguably ever been, with an active conference, journal, Slack and new targets such as Web Audio and Bela.io.

Many live coding environments use SuperCollider as the engine (Sonic Pi, Overtone, TidalCycles), which while not as old as Csound is over 20 years old so there’s plenty of building on existing systems going on.

Departures from Csound and SuperCollider are also necessary for many artistic and technical reasons, and the live coding community welcomes the diversity of available systems and the increasing diversity of the systems creators themselves.

Thanks for the articles! We've been using Redux since August of 2016 at Groove. For us, we've found that Redux makes sense when you have state that needs to be shared. If you are dealing with some specific, tightly coupled component state, it sometimes makes sense to keep that particular piece of state local to the component (at least for our use-case). The biggest issues we've run into during our time with Redux have been 1. not being atomic enough with our connected components (sometimes passing massive objects down the component tree instead of selecting what we need at each point), 2. running into leakiness in react-redux (such as function arity changing short-circuit caching behavior in the mapping functions, forgetting to invalidate components when using select factories, etc), and 3. not normalizing our store enough (which contributes to #1). As we continue to mature in Redux, we are slowly fixing #1 and #3 in our codebase. We are still sometimes getting bitten by weirdness in react-redux though. I'm not sure I have a solution, but I think there is still a lot of opportunity for improvement there. And not just in react-redux, in helping developers understand how to properly build performant redux-driven apps in general.
For me, it’s tech companies and executives who need (ghost-written) content but lack the inclination or ability to write their own stuff. You can make a decent living, but it’ll never make you rich.
Other than things like the keybindings I still maintain that TP was one of the finest development tools I ever used, insanely fast builds (for the time) with fantastic documentation made for a really tight closed loop.

Delphi managed to bring that to the graphical desktop and I think had it they not screwed up with the price would have done much better.
Unfortunately not yet :( Good old fashion copy & paste or downloading of files are the only methods for now.
> processed diet was leaving participants more hungry so they ate more.

That sounds compatible with the "Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain" conclusion in my opinion.

I've been using Robinhood for the past year, and I hope they add basic features such as:

- The ability to short a stock, which I still can't believe isn't available.

- Price Alerts

Everything else is gravy, IMO, especially if they keep the same basic, sleek interface, which I actually like.
It's everyone's right to shoot themselves in the foot with dumb financial decisions. Robinhood isn't doing anything egregious here, they're only reducing friction and fees.

I've used the app sparingly in the past with "fun money" but haven't done serious investing with it.
What confuses a novice with Blender is that it has so called "areas" (something like a tiled window manager) and it is very counter-intuitive. For example, when you try to resize an "area" you accidentally create a new one and it is very difficult to remove.
Hackett said the city models were likely to be slowly-changing stuff.

Human drivers also gather data from nearby vehicles. That's the point of brake lights, turn signals, and rearview mirrors, for example. And, yes, human drivers also spoof that data: mostly by forgetting to use those signals correctly.

They appear to have matched sugar for sugar between the diets, with the difference being that the processed diet had much more added sugar.

Letting the participants eat ad libitum was a deliberate part of the study design, which was intended to develop information about whether an ultra-processed diet encourages eating more in terms of food energy than an unprocessed diet does. I'd be curious to know how you would modify the study design to achieve that end while also eliminating ad libitum intake.

I like the massive diversity of people and land; I am in a forest with cobras and rare turtles; 30 minutes on a ferry to a densely populated city. 24/7 eat/drink/party minutes away from where you are in most places. Complete rest and nature the same distance. Cheap as chips and hella expensive on the same streets. I just cannot find anything like it. I think Bangkok comes closest but it is just not the same dense nature (personally I have 0 interest in beaches; I like forest, high humidity and steep climbs through that).
Unfortunately I have not found microSDs suitable for reflow soldering. Typically one uses eMMCs instead, which are very similar, but has a much higher price (and reliability).

Slack is the only web-app I’ve seen that routinely triggers the safari warning about its resource usage/affect on performance.

For years slack has been a resource pig on desktop and on the web. So what improvements are you imagining they’ve been working on? Chatting on the internet is hardly such a groundbreaking subject that it can’t be done efficiently.
> Public opinion will demand it.

In this scenario, is there public opinion that isn’t faked?
that's a pretty interesting datasheet! If you assume a constant-power load like a low-dropout boost regulator, it looks like it depends a lot on the current draw.

On that graph, you're right that the 200mA draw goes quite a bit farther after 1.2V. The 100mA draw is around 65-75% done at 1.2V. Presumably that exends to lower-power draws too.

Thanks for linking that, it was neat. TIL
It’s little more than a simple IRC client that consumes 250-500 megs of RAM. I wouldn’t take any victory laps over the supposed “efficiency” of Electron here.
If you see it from the other side, it is more than 50,000 for each of the 200 people, even if the lawyers will likely get 1/3 of that, it remains 35,000 US$ or so.

For what?

Having been NOT hired (but making it to the interview).

Presumably, even if a bit "old" according to Google standards, these people are anyway "top notch" in programming and almost surely soon found an appropriate job at some other company.

So, the compensation is seemingly very hypothetical, covering what? 2-3 months of wages for someone hypothetically getting 140,000-200,000 US$ per year.

Or is it because the applicant could have been hired at 160,000 US$ per year but only makes - poor little thing - 125,000 US$ from the company that hired him/her, and so first year is covered?

> 4. A few good, Open Source native ports already exist, and people are just unaware of them.

Native GUI clients:

- Ripcord: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/

- Wey: https://github.com/yue/wey ("written in Node.js with native UI powered by the Yue library")

- Volt: https://volt-app.com

IRC bridges (allow using Slack from native IRC clients):

- wee-slack: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack

- irc-slack: https://github.com/insomniacslk/irc-slack

- bitlbee: http://bitlbee.org (using libpurple)

libpurple plugin (allows using Slack from Pidgin, Adium, bitlbee):

- https://github.com/dylex/slack-libpurple

- Adium (native macOS app) plugin based on it: https://github.com/victori/slack4adium

CLI clients:

- https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term

- https://github.com/haskellcamargo/sclack

- the emacs one you mentioned

Most of these clients don't support 100% of Slack's features, aren't as pretty, and are generally not as 'polished' as the official client. But they're also mostly written by individuals in their spare time, as opposed to a team of full-time employees. So no, I don't think that native clients are 'actually a lot harder to build and maintain'.
I admit that it isn't clear if Amazon can reliably have you choose from what vendor you are buying. That said, not all manufacturer have a storefront. A lot of items can only be purchased through some middleman. And it is hard to validate that a particular vendor is the actual manufacturer and not just pretending to be.

So say you wanted that product, and googled for a vendor, and you found xmanifacturer.com. How would you know to trust that? Also, I forgot to mention price. What if you find the item at xvendor.com at a cheaper price, and wanted to buy there? To me, that all just seem even less reliable.
For a comment this precise I'm surprised you've mistaken spiders for insects :)

True. They're fellow arthropods, and have similar levels of nervous complexity. (BTW, are you by any chance confusing Tarantula Hawks for spiders?)

does make for less inspirational copy

The levels of inspiration in the copy and generalizing across the phylum Arthropoda aside, are you effectively conceding that we're close to AGI at insect levels?
As a user, I wouldn’t trust any private key that I didn’t personally generate.

an electron app (teams) beating them will lead them to the conclusion that they shouldnt use electron?

[Sugar is already a known cause of obesity](https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM). The food being processed is irrelevant other than the important observation that processed foods tend to have lots of added sugar.
Is this safe? The Git docs explicitly say not to do this:

> Note that the push URL and the fetch URL, even though they can be set differently, must still refer to the same place. What you pushed to the push URL should be what you would see if you immediately fetched from the fetch URL. If you are trying to fetch from one place (e.g. your upstream) and push to another (e.g. your publishing repository), use two separate remotes.

which seems to imply that weirdness might happen if the two happen to get out of sync, or if one (specifically, the one pointing to the repository you're fetching from) fails.

For something that may be a bit safer, I believe it's possible (but haven't tested) to have multiple values for branch.whatever.pushRemote-- that should do the same thing, and has the added bonus of making the secondary remote easily fetchable.

> ... and it seems that 1GB of storage would be enough for the RPi and would not necessarily be so expensive.

Enough for what? A typical Raspbian install not takes a bit more than 4GB. I don't think that the Lite version (no GUI or applications) would fit either. I'd suggest 8GB, if that's a convenient size. As flash density increases, more and more goes on a single chip and that's where production is going. Consider the price of SD cards or USB sticks. Below about 16 or 32GB they don't get much cheaper and I suspect is is for this reason.

And IAC, the RPi foundation is working hard to keep the price of the board at $35US so adding something like this probably means something else would have to be eliminated.
I thought Radicle was cool too, but as I understand it (in its current state), it has a much "larger" SPOF in that changes can only be submitted when the single authoritative repo is online.
Amateur investors are best off buying indexes and holding forever. Robinhood entices them to trade in and out of individual stocks (or worse).
Yes.

If you work at an address, and someone tries to contact you via the mail at that address, and they put your work address and name on the envelope, then there is a legal obligation that you receive the letter, or the post office be informed that you are unreachable at that address so they can return to sender.

If your company receives a piece of mail with your name on it, and they prevent its safe delivery to you or safe return to the sender, then they have committed a felony against you.

It is a serious crime to interfere with the delivery of the mail.

Even just opening your neighbor's mailbox to give them a note is TWO felonies.

One felony for invasion of privacy from opening a mailbox that wasn't assigned to your address or an address you are authorized to collect mail for.

One felony for bypassing the USPS system and defrauding them out of postage by using mailboxes for private parcel delivery.

Do. Not. Fuck. With. The. Mail.
Low carb / no carb is gaining in popularity (and some products label it). Sugar is finally becoming the bad guy despite enormous lobbying efforts over a very long time (since the 60s?).
I often buy from Target or Costco.com, which have no 3rd party sellers that I'm aware of. Because of this, I assume that they are vetting their vendors and supply chain to minimize the reputation damage that counterfeits would cause. I also use Walmart.com, but I filter out anything sold by 3rd parties to make sure I'm buying something from Walmart's vetted supply chain.

If shipping charges aren't prohibitive, I'll also consider buying directly from the manufacturer website.

If you buy from a random site on the internet that doesn't have a reputation to protect, then I agree it's just as risky as buying from Amazon or a random eBay seller.
Not sure why you were downvoted. I agree with this definition. This is the main point of the whole discussion about the Slack client being bloated, consuming huge amounts of memory (and sometimes CPU) etc.
I’d rather see a focus on projects that are doable with existing capabilities, and separately an effort to develop new capabilities.

It seems like if you immediately aim for something you can’t do, then you develop a bunch of technology and infrastructure that isn’t very good for other tasks. You end up with a stunt that doesn’t really go anywhere. That gets you rockets like the Saturn V, which was amazing but too big and expensive to be used for much besides Apollo. We’re doing it again with SLS: a big, catastrophically expensive rocket built to achieve a specialized goal. It’s not going to be very useful and it might not even fly.

Compare with SpaceX’s BFR. It has much more general capabilities. At first blush this might look bad: why lug a heavy heat shield all the way to the surface of the moon and back? Why all this focus on reusability if your goal is to send just a few missions? But at the end of the day you’re much better off with a rocket that’s ok for a bunch of stuff than one that’s really good at one thing.

Or just look at the space vehicles of the era. Many of them are still flying today, with lots of evolutionary improvements. How many Apollo-derived vehicles are flying today? I don’t think there are any.

Apollo makes me imagine a Roman emperor declaring a program to send an expedition to the South Pole. They can’t even get there! You need to work on your ships before you set such a specific goal.

As a bonus, steady, incremental improvement is the sort of thing you can sustain across political changes, if you can just get to the point where people stop asking for moonshots.
Well, you are supposed to be able to delete all your volumes, containers and networks and then regenerate it by running the recettes (edit:I mean.. recipes :D) (Dockerfile, docker-compose, kubernetes, volume backup, etc.).
