Absurd oversimplification. What are "better programmers"? There clearly will be a difference in requirements whether you'll be programming assembly code for a space probe or javascript for yet another web site.

Beside, one would think that proper English (which?) grammar and orthography comes easier to native speakers. The same isn't true for Math and logically stringent thinking, which I'd think is more closely related to programming.
Yes you are absolutely correct! The intention was to just show the data as it. But I agree with your interpretation :)

(The author of the article).
Kinda reminds me of Transmeta. Except they had a product, a shitty one, but a product. Or Ampere, but they only have one product they inherited and no flashy names.

Silicon startup challenges are rough. RISC-V is probably the best hope for a new architecture (hint: its not a new architecture).
Summary from ROSCon 2019
Yes I should.

Here is one of several important bits:

Eugenics fundamentally won't work because you're replacing the environment as the learning target with the system's own model of fitness. You are saying "it is fit because the fit say it's fit." The result of eugenics over a long period of time would be random drift into oblivion as the goal function chases itself as the objective. Had Hitler won and the Nazis implemented their Aryan breeding program the result after 5-10 generations would resemble the antagonists in the film "The Hills Have Eyes."

Eugenics might seem to work great for 1-2 generations as you eliminate obviously unfit genotypes like severe metabolic disorders, then you'd top out and start spiraling down into a sea of ubermenschen drool.

This is also a problem by the way for runaway self-improving AI nonsense of the sort that played a role in the LessWrong mass psychosis. How will Roko's Basilisk get so super-smart without a goal function rooted in the physical universe it must model? Evaluation of that goal function requires embodiment, so you must have many many many generations of little basilisks and that takes quite a long time.

There are other problems with runaway self-improvement too, like P probably not equaling NP and the implications for the rate at which any learning system can go "where there are no roads." An AI could copy the human brain to achieve human-level AI, but beyond that there are no roads so our hypothetical super-mind is confronted by bignum^bignum combinatorial search problems. The search domain is convex so it's not as hard as cryptography, but that's like saying you must only examine every sand grain for fifty miles of the beach instead of the entire coast of Florida.

There is a reason nature took almost five billion years to "invent" conceptual thinking and such, and it's not because "evolution is slow." Biology is the largest massively parallel computer in the known universe. Biological information systems outperform our own computers by multiple orders of magnitude. Look at what the brain does on ~40W of power vs what our supercomputers can do on megawatts. That "machine" has been running for billions of years consuming many times more power than all of human civilization to generate present-day lifeforms including ourselves. Some hacker is not going to assemble some code on a Von Neumann machine that runs away and outperforms that in a matter of months or years. That's sci-fantasy nonsense on the order of Star Wars dog fighters making pew-pew noises in space. Evolution is incredibly efficient at finding and gobbling up any free lunches like that, so if such shortcuts existed they were probably found in the seas of the Cambrian epoch.

(I don't dismiss all potential AI or cyborg type scenarios, just the obviously impossible and/or silly ones.)

That's like 5% of my notes.

Problem is you're arguing with a cult. The "pill" ideologies are not based on reason but on rationalism driven by emotional appeals to personal wounds (triggers) like male insecurity and compensatory narcissism. I'm not convinced my post wouldn't be an exercise in pissing into a hurricane.
Which other countries were much better? Obviously the fact that women and African Americans got the vote so late is not good, but America could still be one of the freest countries in the last 150 years if most everyone else was even worse.
I think that most illegal immigrants don't fully understand the downsides, yes. But whether or not that's true, I think it's unethical for us to tacitly encourage them to put themselves and their children in a position where they can be practically enslaved, or even raped or murdered, with little recourse to law.
I like this a LOT

What about defanged?
Oops. Well you probably don't want to kick it either.
I would guess the problem with business as usual is that the cost magnitude of doing this means that only companies throwing off serious cash are doing this.

Which has the side effect of their solutions being bespoke, because acceptable cost looks like "Tell me when I need to stop adding zeros to make this happen."

To go another way you either (1) need to be Amazon-scale already (i.e. "there aren't enough zeros to make inefficiency worth our time") or (2) be willing to say no to huge profits out of ideological purity.

The well-funded client / custom trap is real.

Indeed, numpy for numerical calculations. For strings, we have our own data structure based on Apache Arrow, but we plan/hope to move to Apache Arrow (in combination with numpy), since that's kind of the numpy++ for data science work.

I can think of a few San Francisco retail locations where blatant theft happens maybe every 15 minutes. The Walgreens at 9th and Market, the Gateway Safeway, the CVS at Pine and Kearney. The city has a task force for poop (much of the city is treated as a literal toilet); petty theft is almost equally visible and problematic.
Both my parents also worked at Data General, and my dad was there all the way through the EMC acquisition. Love that book.

> better commute

Wasn't a big issue for us at least as we have double decker commutator trains. The one that ran through my town has 3 tracks even so the train only has to stop at a few stations and then it hops onto the middle track and drives the rest of the way downtown. Only took 30 minutes to go 20 miles downtown and going out further doesn't add much time as your just adding distance traveled at top speed.

> better town

Not sure what metric you are interested in that regard but if it is school wise, I went to one of the highest rated public schools and you could still find smaller more affordable homes in the school district. While there were plenty of wealthy people, I had some friends whose parents were firefighters and USPS delivery men.
Just raise the tuition prices to make up the difference. Most of these schools see foreign students as a cash cow anyway.

Ray Dalio on Principles, the Economic Machine, and Artificial Intelligence
His book argues a more nuanced form of economic growth. It’s basically growth is the most important thing, but there must also be human rights constraints along with some others that prevent destroying the world.

It’s worth reading (and it’s short). The only thing that bothered me about it was what I suspect was a poorly disguised justification of religion via “faith” that I found unnecessary and out of place.
I didn't personally get the sense that the author was reminiscing about the past. I just thought of it more as what he thinks is a lack of ambition and vision in computing today in ways that will solve larger problems rather than going with the closed environments that are available today.

tldr; Maybe having an open plane with few imaginative restrictions (as early computing did) allows one to rethink certain patterns we assume as truth today. For example, if no one is working on a new OS because of Linux, Windows - could that be worse for the world in the long run?
They were probably referring to speed/ease of development, not application performance.

Right there with you. I'm guessing we're both over 40. Thinking your home is an investment is some "flip that house" 1990's reality TV show bullshit.
My current usecase on mobile is:

- 1 on 1 messaging with family, and friends, using E2E. This includes picture sharing, both from links, and taking a picture with the camera on the device.

- group chats, mostly perminate rooms, some bridged to IRC channels.

- 1 on 1 video calling.

- 1 on 1 video calling.

One of the big things I have noticed while using riot, is that I tend to re-upload images, or files that I share with different users. If there were a media/file share lookup, that allowed me to see a history of files I've uploaded* and get the link to them, it would be super helpful, and save on data usage.

*If the files were uploaded to nextcloud/owncloud, that would be great.

Another feature that would be super helpful, would be a "send when network is back" option. Riot gives the option to resend, or cancel, but this requires I remember to resend the messages/uploads. once I get back into cell tower/wifi range.
I am often in remote areas of Texas, where there is no coverage, and this would be super helpful.

- simple view, no bubble chats. :]

Computers?
The code in the OP appears to largely be a custom-built DSL designed to emulate XML. One can tell it's a custom DSL by dint of looking at the `mox!()` invocation; any identifier followed by a bang in Rust is a macro (Scheme-style syntax-aware macros, not C-style textual macros), which have loose parsing rules to allow for such DSLs to be defined.

Rust does have plenty of symbols (nearly all of which are lifted directly from C or C++, with the same or analogous meanings), but such extensive DSLs are rarely encountered in the course of everyday use of the language.

I started that book but never finished it. I got about half way thru and quit b/c I never found anything that revolutionary. A lot of it seemed to be rehashing studies that other people did.

The gist of it seemed to be: if you need to do work that is mentally challenging, block off large chunks of time to do that work b/c interruptions are more disruptive that you think they are.

It would make a good blog post and I'm sure there are hundreds of them on the topic but I don't get why it needs to be a book other than he convinced someone to publish it for him.
So... semi-serious question, what does html/css give us that imgui doesn't? e.g. taking this idea in another direction - why not just replace the dom hierarchy with a single webgl node and compile imgui to wasm in order to drive it that way?
I think OP means by "We plant trees and talk about carbon capture", to offset some another carbon positive activity, trees are planted, then they are turned in to fuel, which in the end makes total system carbon positive. This is the "double counted" part.

Typical ZDNet.
Again, this is trash, already known that LSD produces increased crosstalk between functional subunits in the brain. As seen on fMRI. Therefore the different structure under this kind of analysis. So the causation is inverted - you see these harmonic correlations as a result of brain activity not as a mode of action. Wrong direction of cause and effect.

Harmonic analysis brings nothing new to the table. What are the "simple" terms useful for? Why would criticality be the means through which psychedelics work rather than artifact of your analysis method applied to brain with increased inter functional unit connectivity?

Because it it's just "presence of psychedelics" or "seizure" we have tools for these already.

You cannot jump from being a descriptive measure to constructive without a proof. Most importantly, is the measure reversible, as in inducing same measurement (with different means) results in similar state? In which other states said correlations exist or not? How can we induce them?

In comparison, standard method is supported by evidence of "God helmet" inducing signals in specific place in the brain and results of direct electric stimulation. These do not induce any kind of oscillation behaviour nor inter unit crosstalk like psychedelics, yet they have many similar features.

>For example GDP growth doesn't magically fix rising homelessness

Nothing magically fixes homelessness, but GDP correlates well with a host of public benefits, including
"poverty reduction and per capita income growth performances are correlated" [1]. All these correlations can be more accurately detailed by searching google scholar.

In the US, it seems homelessness has decreased greatly since it was first investigated in the 1860s as people moved to cities. During the GD in 1930, there were about 2M homeless against a total population of 120M people, and now it's around 500k against a population of 320M.

I'd suspect that GDP rise over those periods helped reduce homelessness quite a bit by providing more resources per capita to address it.

First of all, grocers do not fend for themselves. They don't have private armed security and prisons. They call the police. It follows a completely normal and established process for reporting a crime and investigating it, then goes into the criminal justice system if necessary.

Beyond that what do you propose? Put a police officer in each store 24x7? How much does that cost and is that cost socialized? What if a police office causes issues with customers? What does the reporting structure and chain of command look like? Who has ultimate authority in that situation, the police office or the store? How is the cost borne by the store? What is the share of private and public burden in officer benefits/pension?

None of those questions involve the internet and closed circuit monitoring is almost 50 years old. The status quo reflects a lot of thought and money invested into the problem.

That is what you concluded from what I am saying. Why did you conclude that?

> you could hold the same if school shooting fatalities were in the 10,000s instead of 200s; too insignificant

Oh but look at those magnitudes!

> You're either a) tacitly saying that the certainty of future school shootings is absolutely fine with you, or b) that it can't be helped, which isn't true. Pick one.

I did not intend to say either of those things. That's your interpretation. But again, why did you think that? My take: A good chunk of the population in the US is sold on alarmism and "something needs to be done".

> far stronger punishment for inebriated driving is due

Great. Another non-solution giving the appearance that something is being done.

Then when that doesn't work you cry for still more to be done. More punishment. More prying. It's a cycle I won't participate in. I'm disgusted by it!

Why aren't we discussing the resources these kids had, or didn't have, facing their adulthood? How come they decided the way to feel in control was shooting their peers? They're not the only ones!
