Even Einstein I would not say didn't have formal training. He had been in and around academia for most of his life. He was obviously far ahead of the curve, but he did accumulate the formal training. His stint in a regular job was more of an anomaly than his affinity to academia and physics.
> I don't think only Muslims could use the rooms in any stories I have read about this topic. That wasn't my point

“ Amazon (for example) provided only space for Muslims to have prayer rooms, but no one else.”

I understood this to be a statement that Muslims, but no one else, where provided space for prayer rooms. It appears you meant something very different, so my criticism doesn’t apply.

You are correct that there are some very intolerant Muslim-majority countries out there in the world. It’s here in the United States that anyone, no matter their religion, can find freedom and accommodation. Land of the free and home of the brave, and all that.
Comparing the bottom 50% of people that graduate from medical school to "low hanging fruit" is hilariously snide.

Like, if there is a problem with their performance, it is a problem that they are graduating. And then look at the group that is admitted. It isn't a low bar.
Perhaps surprisingly, peahens don't give a hoot about the tail. It's there to intimidate the other males, who do.
But, frequently, commercialization feeds the "development" half of R&D. Companies like Docker Inc. often end up paying the lion's share of the salaries of the people doing the FOSS work to upstream and maintain the technologies they build upon.
> if a dataset is really valuable, it wont be available for public consumption

Data vendors sell valuable data all the time to essentially anyone who is willing to pay their asking price. I don't see how this is any different? Just because aws is trying to run a marketplace doesn't suddenly make the data "public" in an open/free sense, there's still a price tag attached to it.

> and, like nike, won't be selling itself on amazon

Not every data vendor (or retailer since you keep bringing up Nike) has the necessary brand recognition, marketing budget, or technical proficiency to only sell direct to customers: that's why centralized marketplaces and alternate distribution channels exist.
Selling open source software itself is rather pointless - anyone can copy the code for free and it's not even wrong do so. You sell services based on the code and on changing the code - not gating access to the code itself. You don't "sell OSS" - you sell around it and make money from it - not by it. It's unsurprising people continue to be confused on this point if we continue to be so unclear about it on the average.
I was referencing x1 extreme gen2 (aka this year) not last years model to compare to a today's brand new MacBook pro. re screen, to quote..

"My initial impression of the 500-nit panel on the X1E Gen 2, however, is that it’s a clear and straightforward upgrade in every way."

and thats not even the oled option

https://www.techeblog.com/lenovo-x1-extreme-gen-2-laptop-rev...

bonus upgradable parts (ssd x 2, memory)

again its not a hw comparison per se, its a price (1-2k discount on hw) vs os sw. re sturdy its mil spec (810g), re ports its 2 usb-c/tbird plus no dongles (cause you have all the ports, hdmi, usb 3.1a x2, ethernet, sd). agreed re trackpad, but Thinkpad users I've noticed (linux mostly) tend towards the trackpoint/nipple to the point of disabling trackpad.

all that said I'm probably getting the MacBook due to apps, but the walled garden on graphics and ml as well as reasonable linux support gives me pause.

A fraction of a clock cycle.

An execution unit is basically an ALU with a set of muxes for inputs, where the muxes are pulling either from the registers or from later execution stages that have yet to commit their results to registers. The entire path has to settle down by the time the clock signal reaches the latch at the edge of the stage to retain the value for the next clock cycle. This means that the time it takes to read a register is a fraction of the single clock cycles that 1-clock-cycle µops take to run.
I don’t think there are many researchers in AGI. AFAIK it’s kind of a joke field because no one has any clue how to approach true AGI.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.
there's no "software" alone that can create an AGI. It's going to take a mix of really powerful hardware, high speed interconnects, and software coming together to do something anywhere close to what sentient (human) beings can do. Life isn't (yet) star trek and carmack isn't noonian soong. Current approx say the human brain is ~10^15 flops, there are only a few of these supercomputers in this regime, with only Summit reaching into the exaflop regime. Carmack would need full access to all of any of the petaflop machines. What he'll probably come up with instead is probably some new good algorithms for making things look like AGI.

>the point is that it's been made more difficult for little to no discernible benefit

That is not true either. Although it cost me some money, I much prefer having 1 type of port to worry about instead of a million types and it has tremendously improved some of my workflows by being able to daisy-chain devices together. I can sit down at my desk, plug in 1 cable and have access to everything I need. Although I had a similar setup with a dock, I was limited to the number of ports. With the current system, I can keep extending and daisy-chaining to my heart's desire.

Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for anyone just like my use case doesn't work for everyone either. To say that there's no discernible benefit is just silly. There are pros and cons just like with anything.

>carry around dongles for everything

That's a straw man. I don't carry any dongles with me whatsoever except for a multi-purpose video adapter because I still, unfortunately, have to present in a few rooms that have VGA outputs.
People familiar with the ethics around general AI - should we be worried?
Cool ... I've always found it useful to sit and think carefully about what I want to achieve, what I'm willing to invest (time, effort, and money) up front, and then what I'm willing to invest on an on-going basis. Everyone has different requirements and cost/benefit balances.

Hope you find something that better meets your needs, and it would be interesting if, when you do so, you could write it up and post a link.

Is Google the default search engine for Brave?
The biggest issue I've had with Docker is that Dockerfiles aren't designed to be reproducible, so regressions are practically guaranteed. If there were tooling around pinning versions of Linux distro packages, and maybe a few select PL package managers like Go, Node, Python, Ruby, it would make a huge difference. I tried to do this by hand and finally gave up.
I figure they sold so much because they are told to shop and being good citizens they followed orders. In the USA people can shop at their leisure. There is no demand they celebrate being single so they deserve to treat themselves on a particular day of the year.

The whole Epstein thing sure seemed to get a lot of coverage and outright bi-partisan mocking just as one example. /r/politics and the "organic" front page of reddit aside, it seems to me the number of people waking up to the possibility that the whole thing is an utter and complete farce is growing.

It's interesting that until recently, C&C held multi national patents on moissanite (silicon carbide) for jewelery. It seems like the patent specifically covers lab grown gems.

This element of the law is an odd standard:

That's fine but you can still do that without the physical key, can't you? I'm still able to escape out of dialogs like that without needing a physical key.
I basically went through this by getting divorced after two decades as a homemaker. I spent several years homeless. I previously had a class in Homelessness and Public Policy while studying to become an urban planner.

Some things that would help a whole lot:

1. We need to address our housing issues.

This isn't necessarily disastrous if you can move to some little hole in the wall in a walkable area with good transit so you can still have a life while living on meager earnings and retraining. The problem is that we've torn down about a million SROs in the US and the average size of new housing has more than doubled since the 1950s, so there just aren't enough places like that.

2. We need to resolve our healthcare issues in the US.

Healthcare costs something like 20% of GDP and disproportionately negatively impacts poor people, unemployed people and people with chronic health issues (who are often pushed into poverty by that fact). If you can go to a doctor no matter how poor you are, these problems are vastly less likely to snowball out of control.

3. We need to embrace gig work and figure out how to make it a positive instead of decrying it and vilifying it.

When I was deathly ill and homeless, gig work was a godsend. My earning capacity gradually went up and I eventually got back into housing. I still struggle, but it's better than it used to be.

Gig work allowed me to develop an earned income and marketable skills at a time and under circumstances where no regular job would have worked, yet all I seem to ever hear is how evil it is. It's not inherently evil, though certainly some gig work is handled in a problematic fashion that keeps workers trapped in a dead end.
Carmack is unquestionably a genius, but I think it's quite unlikely his solo work in a new domain will leapfrog an entire field of researchers.

I wouldn't, however, bet against some kind of insanely clever development coming out of his new endeavor. Something like an absurdly efficient new object classifier, that reduces the compute requirements for self-driving cars by a non-trivial factor, would be a very Carmack thing.
Do you have the source somewhere public by chance? Sounds like a fun learning project.
I couldn't disagree with you more
The last time I used Google Takeout to download my data I got all my emails, custom maps, YouTube uploads etc., as one might expect, but what I couldn’t find were:

* all the URLs I’ve visited with my Google cookie loaded

* all the searches I’ve ever done

* all the ads I’ve clicked on.

I know ad tech mechanics can be counter intuitive but I’m surprised they don’t have that information for me to download, especially when ads and search are the primary Google functions.

Maybe these logs are pseudonymized in such a way that google can’t tie them to my identity?

What the parent is describing by "Frankenstein build environment" is a bog-standard cross-compilation toolchain/SDK. You don't infect the host with the toolchain's packages; you install the toolchain's packages in the toolchain chroot. (If you've ever developed for an embedded arch, this will be painfully familiar.)
Thanks for asking. There are three drivers towards that decision:

1. Project Management Systems should be flexible. We can offer tools to get you started and we can advise on "best practices" but in the end teams need to be able to adjust the system to their custom needs. This caters to the experienced PM crowd.

2. On the other spectrum we have project owners/teams that need better project management processes and may not know where to start. Their budget usually reflects that. We want to enable startups and small companies to manage their projects effectively.

3. Data security and privacy. Some companies can't or don't want to send their sensitive data into the cloud.

We have goals and aspirations to commoditize project management. The industry has been stagnant for too long.

I wrote my own rsync-like-toolset before rsync itself was released (far too late, when you think of it!), and I immediately loved DropBox.

Maybe because I am dev, AND I am ops, or maybe because (unlike DropBox) I am not sharing folders with my mother, but more likely, because I'm an idiot (everyone tells me "Catcher in the Rye" is great - and after having read it every 3rd year for nigh on 30 years, I still don't get it), but I don't really understand the appeal of docker.

Sure, I can use it, because you kind of have to these days, and I don't really find it objectionable, but it seems like there is a whole lot of "something there" that I'm missing. At this point, I'll probably never understand the benefit of. It won't be the last tech ritual I will have to endure before I die...

The USA has spent 4+ centuries kicking certain communities down the Maslow Heirarchy, this was done on purpose through laws introducing redlining, Jim Crow, no access to the GI Bill, slavery etc...I'd like a world where we could judge people fairly on the same standard, but we purposely created economic underclasses and that comes with a certain amount of desperation that leads to crime.

White Americans = 70% of pop. , $100 trillion in wealth.

African Americans = 14% of the pop, $2.9 trillion in wealth

African Americans in particular owned almost 10-12% of the land in this country (true wealth) and were promised more from the government in reparations (40 acres) not long ago, but discriminatory policies stripped that land away from them over 100 years.

Being in the USA for 150-200 years results in atleast 500k-1million $ in wealth purely due to land and home value appreciation.

The average black person has about ~500$ in wealth. This isn't a fluke, this was designed...
This is a country that criminalizes being poor more and more in many ways, so we can fall into the trap of revictimizing the underclass we created, this time using algos, if we are not careful.
I think, when people are talking about "using Docker", they're talking about using Docker tooling to build and push/update/pull Docker images (actually OCI images) around. They're not really talking about running OCI images "on the Docker daemon container runtime." But to most people, OCI images are "Docker" and if your cloud scheduler/hypervisor can run them then it's "a Docker runtime."

> There is no such thing as a USB-C hub. The protocol doesn't support it.

Did you read the protocol specification? (It's freely available, with no paywall or even login wall.) The protocol does support a USB-C hub. Actually protocols, since there are three separate protocols involved, each on its own set of wires: USB 2.0, USB 3.x, and USB-PD. Each of them has its own support for USB hubs. The hub support for USB 2.0 and USB 3.x is the same as in the older USB hubs with the USB-A and USB-B plugs and sockets; only USB-PD is new (and has long chapters on how power delivery works through hubs in several different scenarios).

The only gotcha is that Thunderbolt 3 does not support a USB 3.x hub (but this is fixed by its successor USB4); this is worked around by including a full PCIe USB 3.x host on the Thunderbolt 3 device, since Thunderbolt 3 can pass through PCIe and Displayport at the same time (USB4 adds USB 3.x to the passthrough).

From what I've actually seen that is completely inaccurate and unfair. The only thing that he did to "deserve that" that I know of is to start seriously pursuing and talking about AGI before it was cool again.

The loads hauled by these truckers aren't going to magically vanish because the employment laws have changed, which would strongly suggest there will be about the same number of jobs in the end, since the same amount of work still needs to be done.

I read this as: truckers will no longer be expect to supply their own $150,000 trucks to get into the business.
