> the issue is the total emissions under the control of any one government

Total emissions definitely matter (no need to give speeches in Palau even if per-capita emissions are much greater than in the USA), but considering this number without regard to the population size is completely unrealistic and insensitive.

For China's overall emissions to get to the same level as the USA, that means a Chinese citizen would be expected, on average, to emit less than half of what a US citizen emits.

Would you expect a Chinese citizen to only eat half of what a US citizen eats, just because there are more people in their country ? Of course not.

China's trend is dramatically upwards because a big chunk of the population is still getting out of poverty. Of course CO2 emissions are increasing.

My problem with these articles isn't that they overestimate AI, but that they underestimate humanity. Yes, many millenials have a serious electronics addiction, but many Gen Z kids are really good about managing their screen time, and try to make face-to-face communication happen more and more.

tl;dr: Humanity is really good at adapting to coexist with technology. Stop Panicking.
It can be morally wrong. What if they found that eating blueberries was linked to a negative and then decided to hide the results?

I’m generally dismissive of corporate funded science because the biases are built in from the start. Please help me and explain why I should believe otherwise.
At a startup I worked for, the founder once told me how surprisingly little due diligence was done for their series A. They showed the investors the product, explained the industry and their goals, signed some papers, and a week after the ink dried there was a wire for a few mil.

I'm sure VC firms price in the risk of a few of their investments being incompetent/fraudulent (they can probably be written off as losses, too), but it's still one of those 'huh' moments.

That being said, the scale of Quintillion, Theranos, etc should have had some more proper due diligence. Circular contracts should be a well understood red flag after Enron, etc.

That's also the most common species of wild blueberry in Maine. People refer to them as wild blueberries, low-bush blueberries, or just Maine blueberries.

They're generally available fresh in season in at least some areas of Maine and more sporadically elsewhere in New England. They're also available frozen (especially under the Wyman brand) although I don't know how widely outside of the region.
Well I know a lot of people with PhDs who couldn't pass a Google interview. Of course it's harder to tell how many can pass a Google interview but can't pass a PhD, because people don't tend to simply 'fail' a PhD except in extreme circumstances, and people who drop out of a PhD weren't necessarily going to fail.

I have a PhD and I don't think I could pass the famous Google interview! I'm just not that good.

Conspiracy theory... This is not a good reactor design, and therefore they files a patent for it, hoping to mislead foreign countries into using it.

Another idea is that by filing a patent, Congress could give that kind of patent extra long protection, extending the amount of time it could only be used by the US Navy.

I explained this is because Americans doing business with American companies are not affected by the things you describe. you're the only one ascribing values like "is more serious than Huaweis CEO being imprisoned", I never said that and I didn't see anybody else in this thread even mention Huawei
I see people driving around constantly with fogged up mirrors or have a broken mirror hanging off the side of their car, or snow packed around every window with only a small area cleared out on the windshield. So I'm not super convinced that failure modes are all that important, at least to your average driver.
Handwriting is freeform, while digital gives constraints. With keyboard you can't arrange text and draw stuff as simple as with a pen on paper, most applications don't even support it at all.

Stylus is indeed big step in this direction, but still is a tick off. Also with a tablet you tend to suffer from "modern technology"-syndrom, meaning you wanna utilize all the good features now that you have it at your stylus tip. But they tend to make thinks complicate aagin.
> Decorative or not, for example, I can't understand why the British don't behead their royalty and be done with it.

As long as we have a Monarch, our PM can never become President. Even though the power of the Monarch is theoretical, this still makes for an important distinction because appearances shape the way people think about things.

Just recently we had the PM successfully taken to court for ”misleading advice to the Queen”.

So it’s all part of the “checks and balances”.
You're probably right. Wiktionary suggests Scots 'blae' does have a shared root with blå in the Norse blár [1], which makes sense as a large portion of the difference between Scots and modern English is that Scots has retained a lot more Germanic and Norse words.

2017 to 2018 Amazon grew from $103 to $121B revenues or by $18B, while Walmart grew from $375 to $388B or by $13B. However, Amazon's revenues include some fast growing areas such as AWS, so the revenues they are taking away from other retailers are probably about the same.

Amazon's impact on retail may be felt more because it sells a vast variety of products, which makes a lot of the small boutique stores in malls no longer viable. That space has to be converted to services or close.

Solar is different from a generator, in that a generator is already producing AC, and as long as it produces a reasonable frequency and waveform you're good. Solar produces DC, which you then need to convert to AC, and the inverters that are typically installed are not able to do their own waveform shaping, depending on the grid to do it for them. It's possible to get inverters that handle this correctly, but they're more expensive, so typical home solar installs don't use them.
An Interview with the Creator of Mandrake Linux, Gaël Duval
Provide a path to a $1300 laptop that is POWER based (and not crippled "slow 1 core SMT1" stuff from IBM's dead-bin) and you might entice System76 and Purism.

Your products target "Freedom, no matter the costs" while their products aim for "better than what the market has right now, at consumer friendly price points".

Both are important: they demonstrate that there's mass market appeal, you demonstrate that there's an achievable ultimate goal.

If you want to join forces, there needs to be a common story that works for both. Right now, their story isn't sufficiently Free-with-capital-F for you and your story isn't sufficiently consumer-compatible for them.
I use sleep for android which has my sleep/wake times, heart rate, and I use the mic to record sleep talking. Doesn't really bother my privacy.

I like that I can dive into pretty much any Go code and it won't be doing anything basic some way I'm not used to or can't very quickly figure out without having to look anything up. Kinda like Java in that regard, but even more so, plus way less verbose.

I mean it's gotten better but take Javascript where just a few years ago fundamental branching & execution order and might be provided by some library and it wasn't always the same one (thinking especially of various competing promise libraries) or friggin' imports might look different. Or Rails where you might have a codebase come across your laptop that's in some version you haven't used recently and using a bunch of libraries you're not used to and now half the symbols in a given file aren't defined there or anywhere else that Grep can find and it's unclear where they even come from, so it's off to the docs for a bunch of abandoned gems to get any sense of what's even going on.

Go mostly avoids that sort of deeply unproductive junk. It does achieve that by not providing certain things, plus static typing (thank god for TypeScript, finally some sanity). I'm OK with that. I don't use it as my daily driver but I'm never even a little sad to drop into or contribute to a Go codebase, and I don't need a huge margin of uncertainty on the question "how fast can you get up to speed with this?" for Go code, which I can't say of just about any other language, sight-unseen.
My insomnia is a little different than the author's; I fall asleep easily but wake up three or four hours later. And when I'm up, I'm wide awake.

I tried just about everything discussed here....meditation, podcasts, watching television, reading before bed but nothing really helped me consistently. I even bought a treadmill and started running every day which does help, but the thing that actually did the trick best was a few puffs of marijuana about an hour before bedtime. It was sufficient to take me "out of my head" enough to get a better night's sleep without feeling foggy the next day.
Does the reasoning behind it all seem to make sense, or does it seem like meaningless sci-fi word-salad? I don't understand enough to know.

>Where humans excel is on the spot decision making: looking around and saying "that looks interesting, I'm going to ignore the mission plan and go over there instead"

This is where the real advantage is. Intuitive curiosity is not something AI is anywhere near being able to replicate in a useful way. Plus being able to explain why something is interesting and worth investigating. Look at image recognition- even where it's extremely accurate, in the instances where it screws up, we topically have no idea why. (Like confusing a leopard with a hair brush.) Which in the context of exploration is not very useful. If we don't know why the AI finds a feature interesting, then how are we (or the AI itself) supposed to know what to do about it? How to further study it?

Every other comparison between humans and robots is somewhat debatable depending on context and mission.

Secondary is certainly reaction time, especially in the context of timely investigation. As someone mentioned elsewhere with large scale drilling, many types of equipment still require a human operator with near-realtime feedback to be used effectively and efficiently in a non-specialized manor.

If a rover on Mars rolls around a boulder and spots a little green man, or a pink Martian rabbit, they're probably not going to hang around and wait to be studied. More likely, it might dig a hole, uncovering water or some other unknown material that's evaporated or sublimated before it gets instructions on how to react. Of course if it's a pink martian rabbit, we'll have to wait 8-12 years to develop and delete a new rover with trapping capabilities. :-)

golang is older than that at this time. They deliberately ignored proven concepts in programming language design for some hand-wavy goal of "simplicity", making unsubstantiated claims about "programming in the large" and "scalabilty" along the way.

The good old wisdom of OO design, single concern, etc. principles usually means that a function that "takes a lot of parameters" is symptom of at least one of these principles being violated.

A struct to collect random parameters, as suggested by other posts, is just brushing this under the carpet.
Best part:

"Take these two examples of desired universal laws of software engineering:

FU: every system, big and small, should have provisions that allow it to be FIXED and UPDATED either from within or outside the system proper;

CK: every system, big and small, should have provisions that allow it to acquire and make use of CONTEXTUAL KNOWLEDGEto decide whether it is functioning properly or not.

The combination of the two laws gives us the FUCK property: A system that obeys both the FU and CK laws can verify the conditions of its operating environment and decide whether its actions are coherent or not with the current context of that environment.

Furthermore, if it decides they are not, the system can fix itself, ask for an external fix or be fixed, forcibly, by some sort of external agent.Think cells and cellular systems. They are obviously a FUCK system"

We're working on the implementation (as time permits). Once we have that it will be published and accessible from search.qalocate.com.

The cert is "wrong" because I redirect back to qalocate.com and that cert only covers the base domain. We have another for all the sub domains but that isn't used by our main site.

My hope is that we'll have something in the next few weeks but its only me (fulltime) and another guy (spare free time), so things move slowly.

Btw, thank you so much for watching the video! I hope it was useful.

This doesn't happen for everyone. I've never had this happen. I've had a few dreams that seemed like amazing insights when I first woke up but then realized how they were dumb dream ideas.

That said solving problems while not focusing them has been repeatedly shown in research, including in dreams. I've had it happen many times while awake. The technique is to work intensely on a problem, then completely stop and move to something unrelated and simple. Often times a solution or missing information will pop into your head much later.

Let's do a rough estimation. A home router uses about 10W. It's unlikely a ISP router will use more for each stream, so if there are 6 on route, were talking about 60W. For the server, even if the CDN used a dedicated NAS for each user, we're talking about ~30W. Doubling all that to account for overhead, it's about 200W.

For comparison, a Tesla Model S uses about 200kWh/km, so a mile driven uses about the same energy as streaming 1.5hrs of video. A round-trip to a movie theater 15 miles away = 45 hours of streaming video.
While I agree with you and I think parent's wording isn't the best, I think parent's point is that military tanks aren't liquid tankers or holding tanks like the term would have meant when the term was first used for military tanks, and military tanks were called that specifically to give little insight into what they did. Now no one takes issue with a military tank being called a tank.

It's really time for hn to acknowledge that stories have multiple links, perspectives, and chronological events and allow groupings. Take techmeme for example https://www.techmeme.com/191010/p17#a191010p17

To the left of the story, click the down arrow, thats every repost or perspective of the original story. Then the indented stories are followups.

Circa also designed itself around this, having a story and when you clicked it, THEN you would see the overall structure of the stories development timeline.

It wouldnt even have to be a chance to the existing hn site, somuch as an additional view that allows stories and comments to be stitched together and intermixed.

AMP seems to be an example of the kind of web that (some parts of) Google wants. Hosted on their servers, transformed by their tools, commoditized and sanitized for ad insertion.

Today when you navigate to google.com from Microsoft Edge, there's a barrage of popups urging you to use Chrome instead.

When Chrome is completely dominant, maybe those popups will be on non-AMP sites urging you to "get the best experience"? It's guaranteed that there will be a lot of internal pressure to use Chrome to promote the goals of other divisions at Google.

I'm Norwegian, and have never heard (or noticed) anyway, the word bilberry until today, and apparently that must be what I'm used to, and referring to as blueberry. Including for the last 20 years living in the UK... Apparently I haven't noticed the difference enough to stop and wonder if the words referred to the same thing, so it may well have just been a matter of what has sold best.

Same as lots of people (me included) confuse clementines and mandarins, or refers to "bananas" without in many cases even being aware their are many types... They're "close enough".
