I switched to a t480 w/Debian from a macbook pro due to battery. Same apps, I get 8h vs 1.5h with VirtualBox running a VM, or 12h (vs ~2h?) without.

WiFi works. Sleep is "meh" compared to the Macbook, but that's on me for not having a swap partition.

Happy with my switch so far, and it's been 1y3mo

> if the employee responsible for firing the moderator did such acts repeatedly despite management warnings than perhaps it's a good idea to fire that person

I think we agree on this.

If an employee refuses to change behaviour despite multiple warnings he/her is fair game for dismissal. However I think firing someone without prior warnings is abusive unless it's for something criminal or malicious. You can probably guess that I don't care much for at-will employment...

The common comparison with Artifact is with Dota 2, as it's the IP that Artifact was based off of.

They're also both 'complex' games. Complex in the sense of having lots of intricate mechanics that make up the game state. Dota 2 has its reliable vs. unreliable gold mechanics, while Artifact has its nuanced system of keywords and three lanes.

However, I would argue that having high complexity in a game is fine. What's more important in games like these is feedback on every individual decision.

In Dota 2, there are clear mini-success and mini-fail states that build up over the course of a game. Destroy a tower, kill a hero, eliminate a Rax. These are clear moments of feedback that unequivocally gives Players an advantage.

But in Artifact, these same decisions all had to be interpreted. Only the language between the games was the same. For instance, killing a Hero or a Tower wouldn't necessarily be the correct decision. Even typically simple decisions like 'buffing a Hero' or 'winning a combat trade' had to be weighed against everything else happening in the game. Every board state resisted simple answers.

This ambiguity was both Artifact's greatest strength and its greatest downfall. At its best, Artifact was a game in its own class. No easy answers and a high volume of meaningful decision making made for a really unique card game. It was the game that ruined Hearthstone and MTG for me, as they started to feel too 'slow' in comparison.

But, good luck introducing anyone to the game. Good luck trying to get better at it either. If every decision has to be interpreted (especially when the results of decisions can be delayed for multiple turns), how is any player realistically going to get better at the game? It's no wonder that so many people bounced off the game.

No, not at all. When Herodes decided to genocide Judea he completely destroyed the then capital of Judea with 200.000 being killed in this city. He completely flattened it, they had to rebuild a completely new capital, with the historical Jesus working on that. Maybe they mixed it up. And population numbers in the big cities did increase significantly in those 2K years.

Rebasing and keeping commits makes very easy to read history, everything is in a logical order. The order may not be the exact chronological order in which is was written but that is rarely needded, the rebases guarantee that it _could_ have been written as the history shows and you can see all changes afterwards.

I have used this in projects and it worked great for the whole team for a long time. You can of course do something else which can work for you and your team.

I think that in this example, I prefer the "tell" version.

The whole "Wringing his hands together, shifting from foot to foot" just to tell "nervous" makes for a boring reading. It is dawning what is important in too many details.

I can instantly imagine nervous person and change how I perceive rest of communication and move on with story. The whole foot shifting is too indirect and I will likely ignore the nervousness when interpreting the rest of story.

Agreed, and like Nick Bostrom says, even if AGI is not obtained in our lifetime, it might still be beneficial to dedicate some human effort into preparing for it now. In the same way that the worst effects of climate change will be felt not by the adults of today, but the children of infants.

For what it is worth, I believe that an intelligent system only needs to be a fraction of human intelligence to be dangerous (perhaps not to the existence of the human race, but maybe specific nations/creeds)

If I understand their business correctly, way more than a few times a year. I think they have problems of the kind

”there’s a team of 5 Monday to Wednesday, one of 7 Tuesday that also have a meeting room, one of 4 Tuesday to Friday, one of 3 for the next three weeks, one of 2 that have to sit side-by-side, …. Figure out who to place where, minimizing the times we have to tell customers to move desk, maximizing the ‘cohesion’ of desks assigned to each group. Oh, and do this knowing that the problem may change at any time”

And all of that, hopefully, in a building with a high occupancy rate, all the time.
This is not completely true. China lead in terms of AI startup funding, but due to the huge shortage of talents, a good number of startups don't hold much water.

The top Chinese talents (e.g. Kaming He, Fei Fei Li etc) all chose to move to the US. AFAIK, there are no Chinese institutions that employ elite foreign AI researchers.
The US universities and companies still lead with a large margin in terms of high impact publications in NIPS, ICML, CVPR etc.
> approaching an intersection with phone in hand, and eyes on the phone

I think the point GP was making is that those people who are prone to do so will do that without AEB just as much as with.

I'm a full driving automation sceptic who believes that even automatic transmission makes people more dangerous drivers, but even I can follow the argument.

Unlike many other elements of car automation, AEB isn't meant to move a task from doing it yourself to supervising the computer, it's the reverse of that. And even if AEB worked 100% reliable every time, drivers would still try to keep AEB engagements at zero because the sudden maximum braking is so much less comfortable than regular braking.
Oh boy haven't we learned anything in the past 80 years of doing just that?

>The alarmist narrative is that basically that civilization will fall apart in the next 10-15 years

No that's no that's not the narrative. The narrative is that we have about eight years of emissions left if we want a coin toss chance of staying below 1.5°. The narrative is that we finally need to start listening to the IPCC instead of pretending that we have another fifty years of business as usual left.

AFAIK GPLv3 means (among other things) that if a company is slapped with an injunction due to a patent suit, you can't just license the patent for yourself - a patent license has to cover all GPLv3 usage.

They are allowed, but some of the legal consequences to the new terms in GPLv3 are worth stalling updates, choosing alternative system components and even rewriting components to avoid.
Number of commits highly depends on people in a project and workflow of the team. I make commits every 5, up to 10 minutes, so I do like 30-70 commits per day[1], some people in another team make a commit per day. Linux on github is close to 900k [2]

I strongly strongly prefer the first version, the one you called lazy.

The other is dawning the story in too many details that don't matter except for telling me he is nervous. It is the sort of stuff you skip over or stop reading entirely. It also kills joy of story, because the story is hidden behind too many irrelevant details.

On that matter, I think that "it is lazy" argument does not make sense and on itself is lazy. I care about how it reads and feels. I honestly don't care whether author worked hard. As far as I am concerned, author could write an hour a day sunbathing the rest if I like the result.

Authors don't have to do things the hardest way possible for me. If it was easy to write I am ok with it assuming it is easy to read.

And also, Einstein was only a human. He could only communicate using spoken or written words, illustrations, and of course, mathematical expressions and what not.

A computer can potentially communicate much faster, and can transmit "thoughts" much more accurately than a human can. Imagine you could serialize a neural ensemble in your brain and send it to another person, so that person is then immediately able to use it, instantly acquiring a skill. That alone is a huge advantage over a human being.

I tried IPv6 on my business modem years ago. Per the ISP's top engineer, many firmware bugs made a static setup impossible at that point in time.

Amazon only added it to EC2 instances a year or so ago.

Most corporate network and infosec guys I've talked to about it are dragging their feet as much as they can--network guys because if they don't have to have it, they don't want it, and infosec guys because it's one more attack surface, and is not as easy to enumerate as IPv4.

Personally, if it gets us back to old-school disintermediated communications, I'm excited about it. In the back of my mind, I fear the powers-that-be will come up with some bullshit to NAT the hell out of IPv6 as well. Disintermediation will de-rail quite a few gravy trains!

Once I'd had it pointed out to me that these articles go out of their way never to refer to people on foot as actual people, I just can't unsee it.

The only thing referred to as human here is the driver, and the only person whose safety is discussed is the driver. Clearly at some point during the composition process the writer got bored of using the term "pedestrian", because it looks like he hit up the thesaurus, discovered the term "biped", and decided that would be a good term to use. (But I bet you a fiver these cars won't stop for kangaroos or ostriches other than as part of some generic collision avoidance system.)

In the writer's defence, the sentence about the driver's safety is a mite ambiguous - but it could have been more explicit, so I'm going to be uncharitable here. And I do give him points for sneaking the term "run people over" in the last sentence, because he could so easily have referred to it as an accidental unavoidable pedestrian collision incident or something.
