In practice the EU's competition mechanisms aren't based on votes and the people have no influence over it. But people can choose who to do business with, as you observe. Apparently all those people's decisions added up led to Google being its current size. The invisible hand is really just a way of saying "people voting with their wallets".

See, that's sounds like a fair rebuttal to the situation to me, though I'm not sure that point 3 really stands — who benefits from whom makes no difference to the matter in question, exaggerated though it is.

Point 2 is quite strong, though I wonder if they might also have been looking for an excuse to good rid of him for some time? I'm not suggesting that's true at all, that's just musing based on some recent politics at the place I work.

Firstly, those offers will shrink over time as Facebook refines its playbook, and it becomes more and more clear that they can win by copying. Secondly, it doesn't just impact you the founder, it also impacts VCs thinking about funding you. $1-2 billion may be a lot of money for you and me, but if you're a venture capitalist investing $10 million in lots of low probability bets, you need them to have the potential for very high returns.

I'm not a physicist. In my current mental picture, I also feel the exponential speed-up is a hoax.

Yet I have no trouble believing in this quantum supremacy at the current scale.

The way I see it is a quantum computer is "running" an algorithm like Toshiba's "simulated bifurcation". It's running it at a frequency much higher than current computers.

If I had to take a guess it is like running classically at the Bohr frequency of an electron ~10^16 Hz. So it's kind of like trying every combination with some heuristics. Currently we are tapping into this 6 additional order of magnitudes of computation, which allows a brute force search to appear instant. But once we have used this 10^6 speed factor the quantum computer will miss a lot of the solutions and you will have to increase the sampling time exponentially to find your solution. We are currently in the exponential part of the S curve.

You've got to understand that those machines are expensive to build, so putting a cap on the performance won't help you raise funds. But these machines are beautiful. They are some marvel of engineering. There are plenty of things to discover. They need to get built.

They will bring plenty of useful techniques in the how to manipulate and build very small things, and more importantly how to compute without releasing so much heat. But those advances will probably get locked into a few private companies by monopolizing the few big names that can lend the credibility required to raise funds.

That's a well-posed question, and after some thought I think the answer is simply: those units of replication which are better adapted to surviving and replicating in their environment, will spread and thrive.

I understand that this seems like a tautology, but I think that is actually the first part of Darwin's genius. Once the model is understood, then the outcomes appear obvious, at least at small scales. The second part of the genius is to grasp how small changes can build up over immense time scales to produce a plethora of species large and small.

When it comes to "universal darwinism", the idea that first springs to mind is the theory of memetics, somewhat like cultural evolution via natural selection. A quick google suggests some movement is being made towards formalising this into a predictive science [0].

Also, I think that the explanatory power of a model can be just as helpful to us as the predictive power. For example the interplay of memetic and genetic selection gives satisfying explanations for behavioural phenomena that can be tough to accept on purely genetic grounds [1]. The existence of purely celibate positions of authority in many societies (shaman, priest, monk...) can be explained on the grounds that the "meme" defined by such a position frees up a lot of the host's energy. They no longer have to spend time and effort on maintaining a family or gathering food, and this energy can then be poured into spreading the meme to the next generation. I think you could even make a concrete prediction on similar grounds: there will continue to be strong groups forming around an idea of celibacy well into the future, such as is happening now with "incel" and "journey to purity" groups.

Nah, you only might be a minority maybe on HN, but the numbers are clear that social media absolutely dominates these decades.

Also don't forget that it's not that interesting to blog about "I use social media moderately every day and I'm fine". Posts like this however are not the norm and thus they grab some attention.

Xilinx gives away access to a multi-language license for Vivado, fully capable for all chips under hundreds of dollars, with a built in simulator (again, mixed language!) used by tens of thousands of actual hardware engineers around the world successfully, but they're the bad guys?

And their "unsupported" tool is also used successfully today by rafts of actual hardware engineers, and it's still better than the free alternatives by leaps and bounds.

There are no plucky garage shops or "wise crowds" making FPGA tools that are even in the same galaxy as ISE or Vivado.
My reasons for using nim:

- Syntax is very expressive and not restrictive or bloated
(I can write clean code, almost like pseudocode, without boilerplate)

- Runs fast and has type checking something that Python lacked (until recently at least)
(When I was programming in python I was so frustrated that any variable could be used in a function call and no code is checked until it's used, Also 'nim c -r file' is faster than any Python program I have written)

- Documentation is very good nowadays, but since code was so easy to read and in nim (whereas most python code interfaces with c) I could read and understand what the standard library functions were doing, another big plus when learning.

If you really controlled the calculator you could tell the light to lie. Then again you probably don't care because it's a calculator.

The original thought expressed was

>Now if Apple/Android made a simple way for a test proctor to put your phone into a single app only that you couldn't easily break out of, maybe things will change.

This expresses the idea of Apple/Google granting a third party control of your machine to render it suitable for use during the test. This restriction must happen at a level that is superior to the user on a device with a lot of personal information.

This is hard to implement and terrible for the users right to con their own device and their privacy.

The same restrictions on a school owned device not used for personal communication would be easier to implement and less worrisome.

>> Because they are very quickly becoming the #1 economic power in the world and I really do not want to see them spreading their views on authoritarianism and citizens control.

For one, China has been the #1 economic power in the world longer than any other country.

Second, they do not spread their views unlike the Western world. How many interventions the US committed in the last 70 years with the approval of the UN? This is exactly the difference between China vs the Western world. They do not force their views on you. This is why they are much more successful in Africa than any Western country ever will be. It is spelled out in the documentary "The Chinese are coming".
Pop-science journalism is still neat to observe!

The thing's that, as far as I can tell, economic/political journalism seems to be at least as corrupted (intellectually; not talking about moral corruption), where explanations of complex phenomena are grossly oversimplified beyond recognition. Despite knowing that, it's hard to make a precise study of that sort of corruption because the actual underlying truth is unclear.

By contrast, it seems reasonable to read pop-science journalism and then compare it to a corresponding scientific story. We can then try to understand the nature of media twisting, then apply that understanding to helping us interpret journalism covering economics/politics, where the underlying truth isn't as easily otherwise-determined.

In short, it's neat to see pop-science journalism in action as it helps to put other sorts of journalism into perspective.

---

Separately, I'd note the expression that "There's no such thing as bad publicity.".

While science-journalism may not be particularly successful in informing the public about science, it might have a positive effect on public-relations with the scientific community, helping the community to feel more connected to the scientific establishment.

I mean, it seems to work in, say, sports, where local communities will cheer on competitors from their community despite not having any real direct attachment to the competitors' efforts. It's my understanding that this sort of emotional connection helps to keep professional sports well-funded, driving public interest in their activities.

Then ditto for stuff like the expensive Apollo missions to put someone on Luna, which I've heard that Americans took to be a national victory (and perhaps others found it to be a human victory).

In short, science journalism might help drive public support for the sciences, even if it fails to convey actual science.

I had a similar experience when making a much less serious 999 call for a drunk dude we found passed out in the middle of a car park, it was only after I hung up that I noticed Google have some sort of feature which knew I was making a 999 call and was offering me information about my current location on screen - had no idea they did that though so didn't think to look at my phone screen...

Besides the fact that this won't work ("fully driverless" by 2020? Next year!) we must all realise that, in the midst of a climate crisis, making more cars, autonomous or not, is a proposition that is at best disconnected from reality and at worse actively hostile to life on the planet.

We must make fewer cars, not more. We must get rid of a large number of existing cars, and switch to alternatives like public transport and, well, public transport. We can't afford everyone having their private automobile, families having two or three each, any longer.

From what I understand, this plan does not even involve electric cars, which would at least show some willingness to consider the climate.

You're down voted, but I think this is a basic truth too, to some extent. But it is natural to try and prepare as well, and to do nothing would not be very natural for most first-time parents. That said, there is a lot to be said for just listening to your child, and taking it from there. They tell you what they need, and you provide it (especially if it is an infant, otherwise if you think it is good for them), just like good people have always done.
We have different definitions of socializing. Commenting on a piece of news or opinions to enhance our thinking and gain knowledge/motivation/ideas, I don't call that socializing.

This most probably refers to the "hole" which is used to insert the insert of the blanket, which, for most people at least, means that it should be at the "feet" end of the bed. It's just some blankets have zippers to cover the hole, others have buttons etc.

Generators don't mirror the hardware. They are higher order tricks with hidden costs that can bite you if you're not careful. Lazy evaluation is a convenience that is dangerous to think of as free, as is recursion. Code-as-data limits the kind of addressing that can be used in the chip itself. There are mitigations for 95% of cases, of course, and nothing's stopping you from changing the algorithm entirely or parallelizing or whatever. I'm not saying that FP is a dead end. What I'm saying is that it comes with a cost in that you end up limiting your options if you hit a roadblock, because you can't just modify the imperative path due to the higher order functionality you're relying on. FP is very powerful, but that power doesn't come for free. For real-world applictions, a mixed approach will work best for most things.

I'm not an authority, but in my personal experience that can definitely make things much worse. A person in that state might not be able to see the absurdity (to them, it's the least painful option -- which is very logical and not absurd at all). You run the risk of sounding like your having a laugh at their misery on their expense.

I'm not sure general advice is possible, but if I had to give some it would be the exact opposite: compassion; acklowledging their pain; understanding that they most likely don't want to die -- they just cannot bear living. Be a person they can talk to. Let them know you take their problems seriously, and that they have value to you, just for existing.

I can't help but feel that people that become addicted to social media should really be looking for underlying issues they need to address e.g. the need to compare themselves to others, the need for validation from likes/upvotes. If the underlying issue is still there, quitting social media isn't addressing the cause.

I use social media to keep in contact with friends and can't relate to posts like this at all. I don't check often, rarely see the point in posting and generally feel bad for people that boast all the time about how great their life is.

I was flabbergasted at the justifications of the sellers for supporting child labour in this industry:

>>If anything, Stamison wonders if the circumstances of miners in Madagascar, “makes the pieces a lot more special. Because I know some person in a little baby hut was actually polishing it by hand, and they’re setting their intentions into it, too,” she said. “People’s intentions and people’s energy are put into the stones as they’re producing it.”

“So the circumstances they’re mined in, they are embedded into the stone somehow?” I asked.

“I think so. A little bit, it has to be. It has to be.”
I doubt that. People all around the globe want prosperity. Prosperity derives from an expanding economy. An economy can only grow if there is stability that allows to plan and forecast to allow efficient resource allocation and utilisation.

War is chaos. War destroys supply chains. War is standing in direct contrast to planability.

Nobody wants war.

Just look at Russia and its behaviour after the collapse of the Soviet Union. 1991-2000 was pure shit: chaos, corruption, high suicide rates, absolute poverty where poor old Grandmas and Grandpas suffered and committed suicide as there was absolutely nothing. In the early 2000s reforms were made that brought certain stability back to the country. Unfortunately, the economy was depending on resource exploitation - and the government knew that ofc. They tried to open up and integrate themselves into the global economy, e.g. by suggestion to join the NATO (for more stability and less spending on the military) and to join the EU (for better integration into the European markets). The Western nations said no to both suggestions. This is where the wars began: Georgia, North Kaukasus, Ukraine and now Syria.

My two cents: it was a huge bullshit made by the USA to 1) fuck the ex Soviet republics after the collapse in 91 - and yes, they had the option for a Marshall plan 2, and 2) to not integrate Russia into the Western military and economy. Shit for Russia, shit for the EU, shit for the US, shit for the global economy. Thanks again, USA.
