I mean, at this point I'm of the mind that either some breakthrough in ML/A.I. will cushion the blow in the future or terrible times are inevitably ahead. My interpretation of the research is that the time to have reversed our trajectory was a number of decades ago.

It's likely a defeatist attitude, but... I can't find a way to shake it.
Would demonizing and banning psychedelics not count as advancing one religious or spiritual tradition over another?

This is getting way off topic, but does it stand to reason that new emerging spirituality that uses substances that are not tax-advantaged/legal counts as favoring the traditional over the new? (setting aside the history of psychedelics that's older than Judaism or Christianity)

Agreed, if political activism is encouraged by management, employees should absolutely do that, especially in a company that claims to have "values".
Weird, this spec has a little bit of a different terminology. I think it's better to refer to CTAP2 or WebAuthn directly. UV refers to PIN or biometric, it's in addition to UP.

Yeah, because I don't know how hyperlinks work, right? ;-P

It was getting greyed out from downvotes. I surmised that it was because it was only an Amazon link with no additional information. OP added info and comment is no longer greyed. Win?
Some claim this, but I haven't seen it play out this way yet in what I have seen for modules; it could be that people are hyper-optimizing for serial performance when the future (and present!) is parallel? If so, :(.

This article is possibly out of date--or maybe was wrong to begin with--but it shows how the modules concept from earlier this year simply broke parallel build efforts by enforcing a ton of serial dependencies.

I forget where I read about a very early and simple attack on Amazon Alexas. Some people knew that their neighbors were going on a long vacation. So they just shouted into their house orders for the Alexa through the front door. They ordered tons of expensive shit on Amazon which was delivered to the front door and then ran off with the packages. The family didn’t get the order confirmation emails from Amazon since they were on a remote trip with no Internet access.

Yes, that this bug has existed so long after it was used and publicized is scary. If it goes on too long, Robinhood becomes insolvent because they absorb the losses but pass the winnings on to their customers.

Which leads me to believe this has already happened and Robinhood is falling apart organizationally as they realize they don't have enough money to cash everyone out. Which in turn means they need to keep it quiet or else there will be a "run on the bank".
>I'm more interested in whether the broad coalition in congress exists

Seeing as no "mainstream" political party candidate is running on this platform, I think the answer is no. Of course, I would probably say the same of any campaign issue any mainstream candidate is running on due current political climate of our 2 party system.

Whats interesting is if this candidate won the election, perhaps the 2 parties would have no choice but to concede the issue, if for nothing else to realign themselves with their own constituents and win back their votes. Then again maybe we can extend the market saying "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" to politics "political parties can remain irrational longer than you can vote."

Because there aren’t any solutions we can centrally plan and just make happen between 7-8B people, 200 nation-States, and far more than 200 government jurisdictions without a massive massive massive body count.

The cost of doing nothing is that there will still be a high body count.

Look at the solutions proposed: more forest land. Yes, we need more forest land, we need to save what forests we can, but growing new forests to a venerable age takes time, and I’m not convinced we can do so in a sustainable manner at scale given our preponderance to farm mono cultures which will be susceptible to disease before any of their benefits can even be realized.

There’s the existing forests, but it turns out the nations that own those forests, because national borders and all that, would really like to develop that land. Brazil has outright rejected foreign intervention in their latest elections by political, economic, and diplomatic means. So do you want to be the one to suggest we invade Brazil and hold them in economic subjugation at literal gunpoint?

And then there’s the eugenics program that they don’t want to call eugenics, but ultimately it is a eugenics program. Getting people to have fewer babies is a good way to reduce the population, but the problem is poorer countries are going to continue to have more children because it turns out, having that extra household labor is really helpful. Then you get problems like Shinzo Abe all but begging his nation’s people to get freaky and have more babies, or the massive sex imbalance between the PRC and India where there are far more males than females, and there will soon be tens of millions of young adult men with absolutely no chance of having a wife or having their own families.

The truth is, we don’t know what to do. Even if we think we do, we don’t know how to go about it. Even if we make a plan and execute it, we will still be left with a boatload of other problems.

11,000 scientists can sign a letter that we need to do something, but they’re scientists. They’re not politicians. They’re not engineers. They’re not soldiers. They’re not farmers. They’re not living with the reality of what they are proposing, nor are they making an effective case because they don’t have a good forum with which to do so.

Here’s what you and I can do though: we can go about our lives until we die, possibly by an environmental catastrophe but more likely old age, and hopefully not trash up the planet too much ourselves before we do. If you want to forego modern conveniences and still be a member of some society, feel free to buy some land and start up an intentional community, take a leaf out of the Amish playbook.
The section critiquing the critique of the cryptography is quite good.

This is all well and good but it's certainly not a thing that is happening now. At the very least I would like to see Facebook write down that they intend to do these things before I accept this as a justification.
I'm saying that bankruptcy at 22 or however young is the much better option. You get it discharged before 30, and so it doesn't even impact the terms you get if you're trying to buy a house for a lot of people. If your options are bad credit for 7 years in your 20's, or 250k in debt, then everyone is going to choose the bad credit every time.
There are likewise some inaccuracies in this post. Both OPs seems to agree on the fact that Libra has no transaction privacy and then pick nits about features not being there at this point in time:

> Libra’s byzantine tolerance on a permissioned network is an incoherent design.

This post's argument rests on their being a unused flag in the configuration file for a feature which is not implemented. The Libra whitepaper indicates that a permissionless design is beyond their ability to implement at this time. There is no reason to believe a proof-of-stake model is what is intended. Even the whitepaper states:

> The challenge is that as of today we do not believe that there is a proven solution that can deliver the scale, stability, and security needed to support billions of people and transactions across the globe through a permissionless network.

> Libra HotStuff BFT is not capable of achieving the throughput necessary for a payment rail

This seems like some actual benchmarks that simulate real system load are needed before a conclusion can be made.

> Libra’s Move language is unsound

It seems like the OP takes a more traditional view of type checkers as a Haskeller programmer. Pushing type-checking to the bytecode level is a very nontraditional approach to compiler design and contradicts the original Libra whitepaper claiming to implement linear types. Libra does not do this provide any linear typechecker or formal verification at this time.

> Libra’s cryptography engineering is unsound

This section is subject to some debate. It seems there are some unpublished audits of the libraries that may lend credibility to the Rust libraries but are unpublished. The original post doesn't claim that they are insecure, just that the more audits and testing the libraries undergo the more trusted they should become trusted (i.e. libsodium).

It also seems that Libra implements a lot of extraneous next-gen crypto that is dead code and not used for any purpose in the core logic.

> Libra has no capacity for consumer protection mechanisms

The section agrees with the OP that this does not exist.
One long distance flight (roundtrip) per year has about the same CO2 equivalent as going from vegan to "normal" meat consumption (namely about a quarter of the average citizen's CO2 footprint). Draw your own conclusions, inform others.
Sure, you will have code written in an older idiomatic style but there is some continuity, most C++17 programmers used to be C++11/14 programmers. Upgrading code from e.g. C++11 to C++17 is relatively incremental, typically easily recognized, and can be done opportunistically. Obviously going from C++03 to C++17 would be much more expensive, so that is a bit of a different case. Rapid improvements in code analysis often breaks previously clean builds in newer compilers, so you often find yourself doing hygienic work on old C++ code anyway.

This does imply some ongoing maintenance work related solely to keeping the code base consistently "modern". This almost always makes the C++ simpler and more maintainable and often reduces the line count, so it is worth the nominal investment. The massive improvement in template code readability is worth the price of admission all by itself.
Checked out back countrybabes.com and was disappointed.
I am always amazed at the concept that blockchain is private at any level. The architecture is built specifically to share transactional data. It is useful for creating a digital entity that is unique and can be treated as currency, but the shared transactional nature is a huge, huge privacy flaw, as far as I understand blockchain (at least Bitcoin). Please correct me if I am wrong about the public nature of transactions - I haven't seen anything discussing the encryption of transactions but I am by no means an expert on this.

So assuming the transactions are accessible to anyone (and even encrypted is somewhat worrisome), what are the implications? Well, for a while Whole Foods was accepting payment by Bitcoin. That means if you know Whole Foods' Bitcoin account number you could simply look up all transactions to Whole Foods to see how much money they were making through Bitcoin, how many unique accounts paid them as well was when and how much. Does every business want their detailed transaction history to be public?

And on a personal level, I remember when Netflix released anonymized data of movie ratings with ratings and date stamps. From this alone, some people were identified by looking at other personalizing data: https://www.wired.com/2007/12/why-anonymous-data-sometimes-i...

All it would take is one data harvesting company to pair your account to your transactions and then could track everything you do through it. I really hope this isn't how all of this works... and even if there are protections to prevent this, it seems like a viable attack vector to consider for any blockchain technology.

The way it's been explained to me is that it's proportional to how much money you're spending. If you think you're getting a great deal from the Chinese, then the Chinese think it's reasonable to rip you off.

Whereas a manufacture in another country might say: "For that little money, I won't do the job.", in China the answer is more like "For that little money, I'll do the job [but I'm going to rip you off, and for how little you're paying, you should already know you're going to get ripped off.]"

More people road-trip in cars than motorcycles.

Even among motorcyclists, in the US it's been more common to transport bikes across the country to attend events like Sturgis, Bikeweek, or to ride "the tail of the dragon", than do the trips on two wheels.

My extensive touring on two wheels is the exception not the norm, it's fairly unusual, uncomfortable, unsafe, expensive, and inconvenient. This activity isn't even a blip on the environmental impact radar, and never will be.

Motorcycles are firmly in recreational use territory, promoting them from an environmental perspective is utterly misguided. People will often be buying them in addition to other more practical and safe vehicles. It's just more consumerism, they'll never represent a bulk of miles traveled nation-wide, but will always cost resources to manufacture.

I grew up in the midwest where there's quite a lot of "lifestyle" bikers, their garage queen bikes are ridden so little you can arbitrage buying barely used bikes from the midwest by selling them on the coasts.

And frankly with the amount of outstanding US govt debt and underfunded pension & healthcare liabilities the USD may either get dethroned and devalued or sent into the negative interest rates purgatory like Japan is currently living in. Japan cannot possibly ever raise rates, at 2% rates 100% of their tax take will go towards paying the interest on their 250% national debt.

Add to that the history of Smoot-Hawley and the general outlook of the 1930s ...
Maybe the problem is that most of these models seem to rely on sequential information (even the transformer needs this for forward generation of text) to encode long range information.

But I can’t remember the last time I relied on sequentially remembering the ordering of tokens in order to complete an essay or hell even reply to an email.

Structurally we retain some kind of hierarchical information (topic, places, names, events) about text.

Is there any active research looking into text generation models which do this? Maybe some kind of query that is made in a learned vector space and which is not temporarily dependent but rather “spatially” - as in these are the facts about the text being generated so far.
Honestly, I'm not sure why browsers don't create a pseudo page setup for things like HTTP auth, JavaScript prompts, etc. Instead of an ugly blocking modal, generate a basic login form/page with nicer styling that doesn't take over the entire window or tab. Like they do for a new tab or what not.

Maybe don't worry about the "best" way to do something and use what works? Typescript has really good backward compatibility, it's very rare for something to stop working that previously worked. If it turns out there is an easier way to do something, you'll likely have reason to want to learn it, but at least in my experience with Typescript you'll rarely find a "need" to learn it or your code will break.
>In classical education if you don't get a high paying job it's your problem not the university's because they've already been paid.

I don't think that "classical education", in classical education students were able to get part time jobs and pay their own way through school...there we no such things as student loans.

This concept of having to sell off parts of your future productivity at the ripe age of 17-18 is only being conceived because the federal government student loan guarantees and runaway artificial tuition costs supported have already imploded.

Nevertheless, these programs are not paid for/proposed by the universities themselves, but by investors...no matter what the college/university gets paid upfront, and they have no skin in the game.
