I think what he meant was that we have no proof that "singularity" even exists. Cosmologists have a penchant for coming up with infinities: infinite density in the moment of “Big Bang", infinite time dilation at an "event horizon" etc, but in actual observation nothing infinite was ever seen. A particle's field is represented with an 1/r2 function but somehow there are no infinite fields in real matter - black holes may turn out to be something similar too!
Yes. If you haven't been debriefed on the topic you haven't been told what parts of what you know are still public. I know a few ex-top secret people who will admit they worked with projects that we now know a lot of information on - but they refuse to say more than they worked on the project. They haven't been debriefed, so they won't even read a newpaper out loud if it touches their old project because they legally cannot talk about it even public information lest they leak something that hasn't been made public yet.

I get where you're coming from, but go to Stadia's page. Click "Buy Now". You land at $130 plus $10/month with no other options. This isn't a future product or preorder, this is launch. The hardware and service are live right now. If you want to play: $130 plus $10/month.

I think this release structure is pretty daring. They're getting a lot of bad press, it's expensive, it's not a smooth experience. Also, if nobody gets on this holiday season, I'd expect game developers to throttle on putting money into optimizing for the platform, which would begin the platform death spiral.
Private businesses are primarily setup to be of the benefit to shareholders.

If management is making decisions to enrich themselves first before the shareholders then they could run afoul if regulators.

Adam was likely not a target of this so long as valuation went up. Now that it’s fallen his shareholders are arguably potentially hurt by his actions and regulators can swoop in.

I have a num pad separate to my keyboard so I can move it around.

It also saves macros to keys, so I can hit a key and deploy my project. Also, cut, copy and paste are now one key press - take that RSI! Basically, anything that is uncomfortable for my hands to do, I macro and put on a key.

One day in the future I hope to turn up at 9am, click one key and my days work will play out as a sequence of macros as I drink cups of tea and earn the big bucks.

Not sold on the RSI benefits. See, I bought a Planck, thinking that the ortholinear layout would make sense. But it didn't work really. Maybe I'm just accustomed to the staggered layout, but it just felt too cramped. Besides, I don't think that less movement automatically leads to less strain. In fact it felt like my fingers didn't get to stretch enough, and my wrists were too close for comfort. All in all, the mouse still seems to be the biggest issue for me, especially the micro movements, so I adjust the mouse to have more travel. But in the end the most comfortable experience is a laptop with a decent touchpad, no need to reach for the mouse and the wrists don't move much or at all.

This is becoming less true. The field is still very PhD heavy, but some employers definitely hire people right out of an undergraduate Physics or ECE degree. They end up effectively completing a PhD program on the job, but don’t get the fancy title. On the bright side, they get paid probably 3-4x more than the average grad student stipend.

No, the beta was last year with assassins creed and that was free and they gave everyone a free copy of the game afterwords.
Historically .org had price caps. As the article explains, while PIR was sizing up to sell this they arranged for the price caps to be lifted by ICANN. They insisted at the time they had "No plans" to raise prices. And I'm sure if you were to dig into documents you'd find that's technically true, with "plan for selling to private equity firm" being the next topic on the agenda after "Announce we have no plans to raise prices".
2 months to introduce those kind of changes usually mean it will still be in the "people don't want to change their way of doing things" phase.

The know-how never got shared and won't appear to fill the void.
But that makes no sense, as there are excellent typings for jQuery that Typescript users can use without a barrier. The question was about the language used to develop jQuery, which in this case would not matter for the end-user (save for file-size).

I am already on those sites. What I'm saying is that replicating the feature set will never be enough, because then all you have is the same thing but without the people.

The benefits of privacy and less monopolistic control are intuitively something many people consider good, but too abstract for a lot of people to make the switch.

What I'm saying those services need, is a feature they don't get anywhere else. An inovation.

Alright, I'll bite. This is such a victimhood mentality and a ridiculous statement.

I wasn't wealthy when I started investing. Hell, the first dollar I put into my long term portfolio was when I was living in my car! I started with ~$200 that I made from doing a collection of odd jobs (mowing lawns, computer repair, moving dirt, etc.). Every extra penny I made went into investing into a moderate portfolio focusing on high yield dividends (4-6%).

As I've grown in my career, got married, etc., I've kept effectively the same principles. I now get great passive income after 10 years of doing this and it's only getting better with each dollar we put in.

It is possible with the right mindset. In an investing group that I'm part of, my story is the norm - not the exception.
Ah, so the yearly fees are more like property taxes. In that case, it's best for the managing organization to be public-serving.
uBlock is too aggresive, I stopped using it. As an example it's blocking live-chat widgets like Intercom. Also, as a website owner, I don't see how web can work without any sort of tracking like uBlock suggests, simply you won't see any high quality services if all tracking, even safe one is blocked. You can't optimize a service from both technical and business perspective if you are blind/have no data to base your assumptions on.
Thanks! Having to experience the inventory management problem regularly certainly helps inspire & validate solutions :)

The setup you had sounds extremely cool - did you hit any particular challenges around the SKU data wrangling?

I've added a naive rules-based approach to categorizing products into supermarket departments (bakery, fruit & veg, ...) - it's really barebones at the moment, but already helps planning walking around the shops.

I'm not sure where you're based but your Arduino setup reminds me a bit of supermarket self-service checkouts in the UK - you hold each item up to a scanner and get a little 'beep' confirmation for each one during checkout.

I think Harris's perspective is more like, "There's some good stuff here if you ignore the mystic bullshit." That's my take on it, and the message I get behind. I don't care if the person who introduced it happens to be an ethnically Jewish man. Incidentally I have the same take on Western religions, especially the one that I grew up with. I enjoy and appreciate practices from foreign cultures, the "foreign-culture-ness" of something does not lead me to dismiss it. The mystic bullshit part is what I dismiss, in every culture (especially my own).
There's definitely 'mystic bullshit' in Vipassana, but it's not the 'vibrations' part (the Vipassana course emphasizes over and over again that the sensations you're supposed to watch for are real, physical sensations - pressure on the skin, temperature, sweat, itching - nothing mystical)

If you’re a freelancer: invoicing
I can see a future where safe browsing of the web will only be possible through some sort of whitelisting. Search engines or crowdsourced lists will exist to tell you which places you should or shouldn't go in the web based on Ads or tracking features, just like you can find out the relatively few places that serve Vegan or Kosher food.

This isn't exactly a great future but we need to accept that nowadays most people don't care about tracking or ads. This might change one day, but it's the status quo.

I think that anti-ads and anti-tracking, if trying to work alongside the full feature set of the Internet, is fighting a honorable but eventually losing war. Even if someone sorts out this particular issue, you are still tracked by 1) Your ISP and 2) other subtle client fingerprinting technologies. You can use Tor/VPN/disable JS but all of these have downsides.

All we can do is to fight with our time and wallets by not visiting places that don't support our values. This is possible and not different from the world we live in already.

IMH (and biased) O, a lot of great coders are implimentors, or let's say applied computers scientists.

That is great for building incredible open source software and a lot of other things that I would not be able to do given a 1000 years. However (again IMHBO) a specific ML and any other specific application of stastistics or mathematics becomes really tricky once your use case is explicitly defined.

You then need intimate and deep knowledge of the tools that you are using (e.g.: Should I even use NN? Should I even use genetic algorithms? Should I even use x?) but ML for most people is shorthand for NN and its variants or maybe shorthand for something else specific rather than in principle.

A well aimed shot at PCA [1] can often solve your problem. Or at least, tell you what the problem looks like. This is just an example, but IMHBO people waste their time learning ML and not learning mathematics and statistics.

IMHBO I still think that self-driving cars can be solved by defining a list of 1000 or so rules, by hand, by humans, and by consensus. The computer vision part is the ML part.

> tracking and arbitrary execution of third party

Those are two separate things. You can track without code, and you can make a page terribly slow without any tracking.

Interestingly, for most people it's primarily the code size and slowness leads them to adblocking, tracking is secondary.

> I can't block it? I'll probably stop using it,

As a publisher I 'd welcome that behaviour. Of course i should be partly responsible for the ads my users see, I actually try to be but it's impossible with today's technology.

It's a total fallacy that the adtech of today is the best we can have. It has become a pissing contest about "who can give you the biggest, most complex analytics dashboard" rather than providing actual value to advertisers. There is also tons of unsold inventory due to the duopolization of ad platforms by google&FB. In that sense, i 'm thankful that adblocking is expanding to upend this ecosystem.
Firefox seems to be on the case. There is really no good reason to give any means for a website to fingerprint a browser.
> Without ads there would be basically no free content online

Citation needed. I don't believe that for one moment. Already people are producing far more content for free each second than one person could ever consume in a lifetime on sites like Youtube and Instagram. The urge is there, even without any monetary reward.

> Consider how much better the world has become due to easy access to information.

Now consider how much worse the world has become due to the incentive to hide wanted information behind commercial information. Simple example: there was a time before adblockers when it was not a rare sight to have a page with 80% advertising and 20% actual content. Think unskippable ads before videos. Think of the mountains of useless content that SEO spam produces that hide the interesting pages in search engines.

Marketing does not give access to information. On the contrary, it takes it away.
That's more or less what the "paradox" is telling us, and research like the the OP is attempting to address.

It's a conflict in predictions involving different theories - quantum mechanics only, vs. quantum mechanics plus general relativity. It's a "paradox" in the sense that the two approaches reach conclusions that contradict each other - both can't be right.

The conflict implies that one or both theories are incomplete or incorrect in some way - which we already knew, because quantum mechanics and general relativity are known to be incompatible with each other in various ways.

Such conflicts are rich ground for discovering new physics, because they highlight very specific weaknesses in existing theories. That's why people like Hawking, Susskind, and many others have spent so much time on this.
Gardini's book sounds like fun, but I want to put in a plug for an older one that might be of more interest to this crowd: Ad Infinitum: A Biography of Latin and the World It Created by Nicholas Ostler.

This is a general-reader history of the Latin language that goes from its origin up until its use in the present day (too bad the book was written before the current obsession with the phrase "quid pro quo" in the US!).

Anyway, it really is a riveting tale, and it makes Gardini's argument for him: Latin really was the "language of the West" for the better part of 1500 years, and its ghost lingers on.
Yeah, that's why I mentioned YMMV. I've seen people turn aggressive on weed, but then again they were broken personalities to start with, and alcohol wasn't faring much better. I've witnessed one lady mentioning seeing blood run down the walls during whole trip. Tons of people just giggle with little additional insight. Don't know, maybe mindset thing.

It's a mind altering drug, can be quite powerful, can create (easy to shed) psychical dependence. As we say back home about fire - good servant, bad master.
I had Latin in high school. While I liked reading the stories and deciphering the verbs and case systems, I didn't see what the point of it was. I was assured I'd understand later, with some spiel about how it's a great literary language, how in medicine everything is (was) in Latin, how it is part of our history etc...

More than a decade later, I'm convinced, without bitterness, that it's a waste of time. Sure, it's not completely useless. The stories and culture were interesting (most of it taught in my native language of course, nobody ever learns to read it fluently, let alone speak it), and I'm sure learning to read Latin developed me in some sense, but not nearly in a way that it was worth that many hours per week, years on end. Time that could have been spent on useful skills or leisure, and almost all of the supposed benefits of Latin could have been gotten from learning a language that is still alive. Here in the north of Belgium most of us get French, German and English anyway. Maybe a non-European language would have been way more enriching.

Developing a passion for linguistics further cemented that view, because it taught me a lot of the mythos around Latin is plain wrong, "bad linguistics". Latin is not special, not better, not more logical or free or sophisticated or expressive or anything else compared to other languages. Of course it's beautiful and special, but every language is beautiful and fascinating and has its own unique interesting features. And of course some of the literature or poetry is unique and hard to express in other languages, but the same can be said for Japanese or Dutch. Nor did Latin lie at the root of other non-Romance European languages, Dutch and Russian and Greek are sisters and any similarities are simply retained from some common ancestor (or from language contact, which went both ways). Truth is, Latin is an unremarkable language from an unremarkable branch of Proto-Indo-European. I'm not saying that as a bad thing, the same holds for most other European languages, it's just that the only thing that made it special was that its speakers took over the world. Had history gone any different, we'd all revere Old Albanian, Common Slavic, Proto-Germanic, Proto-Mongolic etc...

I'm open to having my mind changed on this (as long as it doesn't involve bad linguistics), and of course, if people feel it personally enriches, I believe them and I'm happy for it.

In addition to all the other great points:

You can recurse a few times on all that, and then you’re just in a similar situation we’re in now, except we’ve got high speed trains going everywhere. That I can agree with, but then let’s save some time and just connect existing cities by bullet train and better preserve the existing nature.
