That's kind of the thesis Rodolfo Llinas puts forward in a book of his, I of the Vortex[0], although more about consciousness than intelligence. That is, consciousness is the machinery that developed in order for us to predict the next short while and control our body through it.

This headline must be some sort of basic intelligence test, that sadly a number of poster are not passing.

Why do I say that?

The animal-product-free diet isn’t technically prohibited, and the ruling doesn’t necessarily equate veganism with child neglect. However, it will make it easier to prosecute parents who impose the strict diet and whose children have health problems.

and

However, opinions on this matter vary worldwide. The American Academy of Pediatrics, for example, is not opposed to vegan diets. "Although there have been case reports of children failing to thrive or developing cobalamin deficiency on vegan diets, these are rare exceptions," the academy notes on its website. "Multiple experts have concluded independently that vegan diets can be followed safely by infants and children without compromise of nutrition or growth and with some notable health benefits."

So if a kid in Belgium is visibly malnourished - ie, abused - and the mechanism of abuse is a restrictive diet that is not being applied correct, then the parents can go to jail. In general, the diet is not illegal in Belgium and one of the largest associations of childrens' doctors in the world (AAP) is not opposed to that restrictive diet (and comes close to endorsing it).

This is a non-story.
Totally true, the whole reason half the popular programming languages exist is that their communities are overreacting to the bad/crazy things that happen in the other half of popular programming languages. Java and C++ communities have a lot of bloated ideas, and the languages themselves lend to that.

I said mobility is pointless, not mobile. That's an important distinction.

By mobility, I mean the ability to throw the headset around and walk anywhere without worrying about leaving the range of your tether. That sort of thing is important for AR, but I just don't see it mattering for VR in the long run.

There is definitely a market for VR headsets for content delivered by a phone or builtin hardware. Those devices will realistically be limited to seated or standing-room-only experiences, though.
My pet theory is that anything we regard as truly intelligent has to have a sense of self, an identity if you will. In addition, it has to be motivated by something. All living things, and all the intelligent living things, have a survival and reproduction instinct on some level which is an animating force driving higher level thinking and actions. Basically, any AGI has to have something approaching a ‘soul’ to be ‘intelligent.’ And if that emerges, combined with exponential iterative evolution that isn’t limited by biology ... well all the sci-fi tropes seem plausible.
For cruising around my code the advantage is that jk/kj doesn't do anything in normal mode (cruising mode, haha). So I can just start mashing jk in a terminal window that I don't know what mode I left vim in.

The biggest downside to jk/kj mapping is that words that end with k are somewhat common. So a few times a week I will type something like "splunk" and want to exit insert mode immediately so I mash jk/kj after the k. 50% of the time the j is first so I end up with "splun" (kj is <esc>) (k moves up since we're in normal mode now).
As a non-data-scientist who does some infrequent data analysis in python, this looks amazing. But not something I think we can justify paying for with the amount of analysis I do.

The article calls ipv6 an “easy way” to decentralize but I don’t see it.

If you click the link on how to get your own ipv6 space you get two options: Ask your ISP for an address or set up a tunnel to someone else who will give you one.

These are the same options we have today for ipv4. I went on my crappy large ISP’s website. They are not handing out static ipv6.

Why would they? The problem has always been more about corporate power than tech.
Hmm, I find this hard to square with Table 2 in the paper. That table illustrates consistent growth in the number of misclassified funds. If, as Morningstar alleges, the difference is in controlling for unrated bonds, that still doesn't close the door to deliberate manipulation on the fund side and misreporting on Morningstar's part. For example they say:

>Because Morningstar’s proprietary methodology for calculating Average Credit Quality particularly penalizes unrated holdings by assigning them a low rating (B or BB)

But if I'm the manager of an investment grade fund, why wouldn't I sneak in some crap quality, high yield, unrated bonds? Morningstar will still rate them within the investment grade universe when they might actually be much lower quality. Then all the same problems that the paper alleges arise, my 'unrated' but basically high yield bonds give me good yield and performance numbers and I get a good Morningstar rating and people flock to buy it and I get a nice tidy bonus at the end of the year.
I plan to do this: Give my kids lots of responsibility from a very very early age, starting with collecting small sticks to start the fire every morning (we heat with a wood stove). By teenage years they should be able to make things to sell or gift to others.

My wife currently nannies children and her "field notes" are just incredible. Children want to have responsibility. They want to have jobs. Not that I'm suggesting they go into factory work, but there's no reason a 12 year old can't learn to start perfecting something like a croissant.

Instead if young kids clamor for something to do, some parents do stuff like help them setup a lemonade stand. This is hardly DOING something, its mostly sitting there waiting for cars(???) to stop so they can sell sugar water. It is already below their skill level and a waste when they could be learning something more meaningful.

We have definitely extended childhood too far. We basically park child bodies into little feedlots called schools, which seems generally to only be because of a total lack of imagination on the part of adults. Children should be DOING things. https://twitter.com/simonsarris/status/1192477007986221057
Tesla's Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai obtains green light for mass production
This is really getting ridiculous. By no means is water scarce in many regions of the earth and while there is a certain amount of energy needed to heat the water for a daily shower it is very simple to obtain from carbon-neutral sources.

So yes, warm water consumption might be a thing in ever denser megacities, but please stop to greenshame every single habit of an industrial society and simply reconsider the typical source of energy. For small houses, solar thermic or photovoltaic collectors should do just fine, for bigger ones, consider distributed heat networks or small scale combined powerplants. And should you live in an area, where water is indeed a scarce resource, make a distinction between greywater and wastewater.
MCU Optimization for Always-On Wearables: Part 1
You are talking about lower layer protocols here that don't matter for decentralization. In fact, a decentralized transport protocol can be made that doesn't require your ISP to give you an internet routable IP address nor put you behind NAT.

Think e-mail, for example. It never required you to have an internet routable IP addresses to communicate with anyone. There were and are plenty of local networks where people run local SMTP servers that communicate with upstream SMTP servers over local network and only those have public IP addresses to communicate with SMTP servers over public internet.

We use PHP for our backend stuff. We've been using our own custom framework for years, but are in the process of migrating to Laravel now (something we really should have done much earlier).

I can understand the hate for PHP. As it is easy to pick up and because it doesn't enforce good coding practices, PHP has become a magnet for poorly capable programmers. In fact, one of our great challenges is that the majority of candidates who apply for PHP Software Engineer (SE) positions are barely capable of programming in the first place.

At the end of the day, what matters is the skill of the tech team. A team of SEs with strong coding skills and well thought out engineering/architectural practices can create systems that are well-built, scalable and maintainable, regardless of language. Conversely, no programming language or framework can compensate for a lack of skill or poor knowledge of good engineering practices.

If you want to selfhost many of those apps, we have built a tool (Cloudron) to take away most of the deployment hassle for many of those apps mentioned in the link.
Also to work around the provider lock-in with ipv4 addresses while hosting from your home or on-premise we have a built-in dynamic DNS feature https://cloudron.io/documentation/networking/#dynamic-dns So in the end it doesn't matter if you change ISP or if you don't even have a static ipv4 as such.

In many countries, it's darn near impossible to achieve an omnivore diet that isn't supplemented. There's direct supplementation in things like vitamin D milk, folate fortified wheat, and iodized salt, but, also, supplements added to animal feed serve to increase the levels of some nutrients in their meat. Notably, B12.

What's interesting to me is the level of overlap between the list of things that vegetarians are advised to take pills for, and the list of nutrients for which fortification is typically applied to animal products. The big gap is calcium, which people are often advised to get from milk, but that also seems like a kind of crap piece of public health advice given that ~75% of the world population is lactose intolerant.

My sense is that vegetarians and vegans do have a higher need to voluntarily supplement their diets, but this is as much about public policy around fortification assuming that everyone eats an omnivorous diet as it is about the vegetarian or vegan diet itself.

Not so sure about that. I remember developing and building some huge projects with 3.4 at the time. I don't recall any major bugs in the compiler.

The only problem was that the C++ compiler was rather slow compared to competition.

They don't see it as hypocrisy because they mistake race/gender for class status. It is essentially "reverse racism" and they have to "punch up" against racism. It's okay to cancel a white guy because he's their version of a "bourgeois" while people of color are their version of a "proletariat."

I don't agree with this assessment by the way. It's just how these people think. To me, it feels like playing musical chairs within a fundamentally broken society and economic system that disregards social justice for profit.

Even at four nines, there are a couple dozen requests per second that are greater than what you are observing. How much greater? Who knows, if you are not observing max. Could be minutes in latency.

I don't see Elon as a genius at any kind of engineering. Everything he's done there was pretty easily foreseeable as being physically possible. What he is remarkably good at is selecting daring and potentially market-changing business goals, and executing against them consistently and aggressively despite naysayers.

It's easy to say that it's probably possible to land a orbital rocket first stage. But who would bet a multi-billion dollar business on being able to not only do it, but save money by doing it, when nobody had ever done it before?

Similarly, electric cars were far from new. Nobody seemed much inclined to build one that was actually a luxury car, instead of a toy for engineer-types who could put up with driving weird things. Any of the big manufacturers could have done it, and easily absorbed the losses if it failed, but none did. Elon made a wild bet on that, making a company that made nothing else, so the whole thing would go down the tubes if the idea flopped. Instead it seems to have worked. Although it seems to be harder than he anticipated, and maybe outside his skillset, to run an organization that does real mass-production.

It definitely isn't - protection is often the first step to a building falling in to decay. That way you can get it delisted, hopefully.

This dilapidated mill was in horrible shape in street view 8 years ago, and since then has rotted even further. It's dangerous and hideous, but it's "protected" so it remains a huge burden on the town.

It's illegal to tear it down. You'd be a moron to put any money in to instead of just building something else. But the heritage fetishists won't delist it so it remains, an eyesore and attractive nuisance, which does wonders for liability insurance no doubt.

People absolutely talk about great more recent animated movies, like Your Name, Into the Spider-Verse, and Kubo and the Two Strings.

Princes Mononoke is actually my favorite movie, I obviously agree that it's really excellent, but objectively I think Spider-Verse is just as good, even if it doesn't fit my preferences quite as much.

For TV series, Mob Psycho 100 is absolutely top tier, I'd put it against Cowboy Bebop easily. Loved Bebop, but I think MP100 is the better series overall, both for story and animation quality.

This is a combination of rose-tinted glasses, plus things accumulating social value over time. Eminem didn't rap about playing N64 games until long, long past the N64's heydey; it wasn't cool to mention that back in 1998. Pokemon is mainstream with adults now, but it was for real (young) nerds and dorks back when it started. Retro games are currently cool with those who scoffed at them when they were new. This phenomenon is especially prevalent with 'cult hits', like Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, which has a much more positive reputation now than it did at its own launch.

Love the challenge. Let me start by replying to your DMZ comment: with IPv6, you actually have to rethink and with it you can organise the Internet very different from today.

I agree with you that people don't want to maintain complex systems. But then again, running a git server or even cgit, is a matter of little minutes spent, especially if you use ready to deploy toolchains.

I also think you have a point in terms of equilibrium - people are in general more comfortable with something they know. And due to the long history of IPv4 shortage, people are used to having private IPv4 space only.

It is like animals in a zoo - we don't know anymore, how good the life used to be with public IPv4 addresses, we have grown up without them.

What I have seen from many discussions and visits in the last months is that IT startups are now reconsidering and embracing IPv6, because it gives freedom.

I'd also say the approach is not to directly replace facebook & co., but to think completely different. Why do I need a website to write to you? I can write directly to you, if both of us are on an IPv6 network.

Thinking different is the key for decentralisation.
The headline is somewhat misleading, unsurprisingly. Child neglect can lead to jail time. The ruling in question will make it easier to prosecute for child neglect in cases where children develop health problems due to a forced vegan diet without appropriate dietary supplements or medical follow-ups. The ruling itself is essentially a health authority stating that a vegan diet is not suitable for children unless properly supplemented - as far as I'm aware, it's generally accepted that vegans are at a high risk of certain deficiencies and need to pay particular attention to those.

Here in Sweden, there have been some relevant cases lately. In one case, a couple was convicted after keeping their baby on a strict vegan diet, and ignoring several warnings from doctors that the baby was malnourished and needed milk. In another case, which was national news earlier this year, a 17-month old infant was brought to the hospital, underdeveloped and so malnourished that, according to the trial, she would have died within hours and was only saved by intensive care. The parents, as it turned out, had only given the baby vegan food, and had never taken the baby for any checkups.
