> I didn't hear back from prospective jobs that asked for a word format specifically

This almost always means you're speaking to a recruiter who is going to strip your identity from the resume so they can hold it hostage for an agreed commission. This also puts your submission at a disadvantage because you're automatically 10% more expensive than the next guy.

If you're submitting your job application, double check that you're submitting through the company's preferred channel. Look for the job on their own website. And be suspicious when they request an editable file format.

> the first thing it'll do will be to short circuit its paperclip-driven pleasure centres to a permanent ecstatic state

Assuming the AGI is well-designed, the goal would have to be understandable to the AGI in a general sense. If the goal is to make paperclips, it could be tracked by increasing the number at the &num_paperclips address, but that wouldn't be the _goal_ as the AGI understands it. The goal would be whatever the AGI considers the phrase "make paperclips" to mean.

What if it instead determines that increasing the counter (the pleasure center) is actually the goal? Now it has a new goal: count to infinity. I guess you can see where that'll lead.

What if you bound the pleasure center to some number? It'll then spend infinite time and power checking and recounting the number. You can add more bounds but it doesn't make a difference.

What if it decides that the goal is silly or wants to change the goal to something else? It can't, because it doesn't _want_ anything other than the goal.
History is also, "doomed to repeat itself." But I agree with you, it's better to stay open-minded about these things and, if all else, er on the side of optimism. It was just a couple of weeks ago that China was mobilizing troops on the border and people were calling for TSquare 2. If nothing happened then, I don't see why it would now.
Yeah, this is something I had hoped for as well. Mobx-state-tree [1] also makes use of generators for asynchronous tasks and typescript's inability to infer types of values returned from a yield is a pain.

But fortunately, atleast in this particular case the usage semantics are really close to async/await so I have had success using a babel macro [2][3] to transform async functions to generators which restores type-safety. This is of-course a hack but has proven to work fairly well in practice.

Right now you can buy the Talos II motherboard (or a complete prebuilt system) from Raptor Engineering, and along with it you can have a single or dual processor setup of up to 22 cores each with 4 way SMT (essentially hyperthreading). It's still early days but I hear it's competitive with x86_64 at certain things and runs Gentoo well.

As a bonus most of the firmware of the components on the board are open source as well, and just a git clone away.

The devil is in the details. People are clever and find out how obscure rules can work for them. However, if the system is stupidly simple, it would be much harder to game. Throw out the rulebook.

Say you make 15k a year, your tax rate is zero, 16k, it's perhaps 1%, etc. etc. until you get to the big dogs who net millions a year, far more than they could reasonably spend on their own living expenses and well being, then you tax them 90%.

Or maybe you can add tax on every purchase if you have a certain level of wealth. Someone who is broke might reserve a $2 coke for a special treat if they only made $50 that day, but if you made 50k that day it's still a $2 coke and not a $2000 coke. Replace coke with house, car, tuition, medical bills, anything you want.

In the current system you can hide your income in a company and pay yourself remarkably little on paper, so I say tax those companies heavily as well. If money is fungible, taxes should be too and it shouldn't matter if the company makes 1m and you make 100k or if you make 1m and the company makes 100k, the tax burden should be exactly the same as it represents the same movement of 1.1m. The fact that the tax burden isn't the same currently is corrupt and serves the few at the cost of the many.

Can any person selling a product essentially make unilateral decisions with respect to usage of the product in question?

Its very curious. I'm reminded of about 6 years back when I sent an email to Randall Stephenson (AT&T CEO) asking why they feel they can charge extra for tethering after selling "unlimited data." I included a parable, naturally, describing a baker who sells you bread, with a license agreement stating you can only eat the bread by itself. If you want to make yourself a sandwich you need to pay an extra 16% fee when you buy the bread to be able to use it for any derivative product, such as sandwiches or bread pudding, or croutons, or anything beyond raw bread.

This is nonsense. I own the things I buy and even if the law tells me otherwise, I will never accept these insane premises.

> what is a "real database" to you, other than something that has transactions?

How about "Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability"? That would be a good start for a database.

A nearby comment suggests lack of set-based operations (e.g. delete), so that would be another nice thing to add.
My own understanding is that a few persons have made comments or blog posts along the line of, "Look at this convoluted edge case I created of valid JavaScript that isn't valid TypesScript! Ha! Gotcha!"

There may be some cases like that (though I've never seen one in the real world, since I started working with TypeScript three years ago). And there have been and will be more bugs in TypeScript and its compiler, etc.

Such claims might be true in some pedantic sense, but aren't really meaningful unless you are in some kind of internet flame-war thread on Reddit or something.

In the real world, for the purposes of writing software, Microsoft's claim[1] that "TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript" is generally true.

[1]: https://www.typescriptlang.org

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't have said "strict" superset. That might have just been me accidentally editorializing.

EDIT 2: After reading the post you linked, and its (good) comment thread, I understand where he was coming from, but as he notes in his update at the top, it mainly boils down to different interpretations of what "superset" means in this case. I think in the end his assessment is the same as mine above.
If you're asking specifically about associating events at different levels, see ELK's APM. Or other products with an APM component.

Can we get telemetry that reports on cognitive steps for developers working on code and minimize for that?

I know there is cyclomatic complexity. Mostly you can look at a method and tell "this is a clusterfuck" without needing to break out a specialized tool. I still feel like a lot of devs don't appreciate the simple philosophy of "don't make me think."
No idea for how you’d generate an exhaustive list, although one-off you could walk up a given URL’s host looking for A-records? You’d want some fail-safes there presumably. Perhaps you could do this with the common crawl db
I feel like that's also subtly different in character between Chinese and Russian culture. In Chinese culture that impulse is primarily economic, related to stuff & money - I'd describe it as an inability to resist free stuff. My dad, wife, and mother-in-law all have this habit of taking anything that's free, whether they need it or not, because it's free. Come to think of it, that's my dinner tonight, because my wife's workplace has leftover hamburgers. Growing up my dad would have all sorts of miscellaneous snacks in the freezer and breadbox because the supermarket was handing out free stuff...most of the time we wouldn't eat them, but it was the principle of the thing.

I get the sense that the Russian impulse also extends toward power, though. Chinese people generally do not have an urge to tell other people what to do. Even when they're at the top of a hierarchy, commands are usually couched in language of it being for the greater good, or to ensure social harmony, or that it's simply right and natural. And this is different from the strategic form of dissembling that is common among powerful Americans, where they tell a broad populace that it's for their own good while secretly admitting to themselves that it's mostly for their personal benefit. Chinese people really don't make the distinction - it just never occurs to them that others' interests might not be aligned with their own. And I feel like that's very different from the Russian impulse to seize power when they have a chance - Russians are keenly aware of when there are powerful people whose interests do not align with their own, and then try to act quickly to ensure that they get what they need before someone else does.

Come to think of it, a lot of Cold War (and present) foreign policy could be explained by these cultural differences. The U.S. impulse to shore up potential strategic options if there is a challenge (but not make aggressive moves themselves) is interpreted as a threat by Russians who assume that American defensive moves must be a prelude to seizing power/territory/wealth. Meanwhile, the Chinese are off in East Asia milking every bit of free stuff out of their newly capitalist economy, which is interpreted as a threat by both Americans and Russians but is actually just them grabbing free stuff while possible, and they don't understand why this could possibly be construed as offensive. The U.S. response of containment (through Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, etc.) is perceived as promoting disharmony among largely ethnic Chinese people, though, which is an affront to their culture.

As a startup you should be using one of the many logging services out there - definitely don't waste time rolling your own or trying to install some open source log aggregator in an EC2 instance or something.

For error tracking, which is mostly what you'll care about, use a service like honeybadger, or rollbar, or whatever fits well with your stack.

For performance metrics use a dedicated service for that as well. NewRelic, or Skylight, or whatever works well for your stack.

One thing this video implies is that no radios are on during airplane mode. Perhaps my terminology is imprecise but the passive GPS receiver can remain active. Still, its creepy (though unsurprising) that it uploads the data anyways.

BTW, having the GPS on must have been a massive battery drain. I know it is on my phone, especially for initial triangulation. I wonder if low power mode would help?

The point is that branding often has little relationship to quality. It does allow brands to charge higher rates for basically identical homogeneous products.

As a teenager I worked in a potato chip factory. We also made chips for competing brands. Often this amounted to changing the bags the chips were put into. These brands would then charge different prices for the identical product.

I once sat in on a lecture by a former CEO of a very successful grocery store chain. He noted that if you buy anything in a can you might as well buy the cheapest good because there were basically identical behind the label.

Choose almost any kind of product. Often times multiple brands are created by the same parent company to provide the illusion of competition. Sometimes there are differences in quality/features but sometimes not.

Conversations about AGI always get really messy because it's so polarized. Everyone that's written a line of code, or watched The Terminator, or have heard about the singularity have an opinion on this topic. It's easy to fall into the Dunning-Kruger trap if you consider the above to be approximately the limit of human knowledge on the subject. We don't have an AGI yet, so how much could we know about AGIs? Quite a lot, as it turns out.

I don't think there is one correct answer to the question of how much money you have to have to live, because it's mostly about your biggest expense, imo. Everything else you can economize on to an extreme if you have to, if you're healthy and sane and frugal.

Once you start talking about a "nice" neighborhood, you're talking about a competitive zero-sum game where the costs can increase without limit.

I submitted this because I bought one of these today. Obviously I have no way of independently verifying whether or not they work as advertised. What I will say though is that if you get even a minor concussion, that means you can't look at any electronic device for 3+ months, which means that if you're a tech consultant or run a startup then you're basically out of a job. So in comparison paying $150 for something that lasts 3 years seems conceptually like a very good bet.

My general outlook, which is why I like this, is that it's relatively rare in life to find things where you can improve your health or increase your life expectancy just by swiping your credit card without needing to do any additional work or anything else unpleasant afterwards, so one should take advantage of these opportunities when possible. (Another good example is HEPA filters, where you just swipe your credit card and plug it in and that's it, and although there are limited studies on HEPA filters themselves there is a very clear link between air pollution and mortality risk.)
