The problem with Wikipedia is the fanatics with infinite time, which it accumulates because they're the ones who never give up. The other issue is it's inability to actually deal with problematic users, as the moderation doesn't teach the fanatics to be good, it just teaches them to not be so bad they'll be banned.
Originally, only hydrogen fuel cells existed. If you had a fuel cell, it was by definition a hydrogen fuel cell, no qualification needed. Later people came up with other kinds that could catalyze more complex molecules.

Calling an auxiliary gas tank a fuel cell has to have originated as some kind of cheesy marketing ploy, to make it sound like a more sophisticated thing than a gas can with baffles, and get more money for it.

This one made me laugh.
Hire a designer based on the thing you want rather than the hours for the thing you want.

Lets say you want a pizza, and contact your favorite pizza place for it. Does it matter how long it took to make ? Or does it matter that you get a good pizza in a timely fashion? Would you be offended if the pizza came faster than it should?

If this holds true for a pizza, why would it not hold true for any other service/good ?

Yes, you just have to get everyone who might want to access a .org address or their DNS provider to recognize the new root.

That's the problem - you have to get organizations - some of whom are deeply invested in making money off of DNS - to agree to not do so.

Or you just ignore the existing system and build a new one... once enough desirable sites are in the new one, then the old one will fade away.

>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.

If you can copy human minds into a machine-world, then you can copy the most intelligent human minds. The most intelligent humans are pretty darn smart, and with no obligations, a surfeit of time, and effective immortality, they may make short work of your claims that intelligence can't be effectively bootstrapped.

It's difficult to imagine the inner lives of people much smart than we are. So neither of us can imagine a world occupied by persons belonging to a 300 IQ race of supermen, but there are presently 200 IQ persons, if only as genetic anomalies, and technology already exists sufficient to replicate them an almost arbitrary number of times.

The vast majority don't, you can get one that does but you have to do your research. The "response time" listed in monitor/tv specs is not the same as the input lag.

TVs are especially bad, in the default mode some of them have ~200ms input lag. "Game Mode" usually brings it down to more like 20ms though.

Edit: did a google, don't know how accurate these are: https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/inputs/input-lag

That's not how consumption taxes work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumption_tax

A property tax takes effect without sales occurring, without the property being used, etc. There is no act of consumption to tax, other than simply existing. And before anyone argues that the use of the land is the consumption, that would only make sense if the value of the house wasn't taken into account as part of the property tax.

If property taxes were only levied at the time of sale (e.g. stamp duty in Australia), then it would be fair to call it a consumption tax.
If I understand AMP correctly, there are 3 alternatives to compare:

(1) Google doesn't intervene at all, web sites are full of bloat

(2) Google requires mobile sites to not suck if they want decent rankings

(3) Google requires mobile sites to not suck and also delivers the bits instead of the site's servers.

I agree that #1 is not a good state of affairs. I'm fine with Google pressuring mobile developers to create sites that perform well. I just prefer #2 over #3.

Are all priors an application of Bayes's theorem?

It is confusing to me that there is talk of Bayesian statistics vs. frequentist statistics when both are often used in conjunction. The classic example of a medical test with false positives and false negatives and the prior being incidence in the general population comes to mind. To me that is not just an example of Bayes, but a combination of frequentist statistics with Bayes's theorem.

I also seem to recall that Bayes's theorem appears in a standard first year probability and statistics course.
I had an incident at a client recently where their employees' (macOS) machines would have issues connecting to services on Localhost. The client's request would arrive to the server just fine, but the client would immediately get a connection reset ("empty reply from server" in curl) without getting the response from the server. Eventually we tracked it down to a BitDefender update.

In particular, publishers don't like this solution.
They're production constrained.
The backlog for A32x is like 10 year long.
At some point, better a slightly inferior plane now (well, in the next few years) than in 20 years.

I assume they don't increase production (or at least not enough to massively reduce this backlog) because they don't expect this to keep up, and it's a massive investment.
Sure I have issues - but these are murder investigations. Keeping track of who might be associated with the victim is the bare minimum of investigating.

Giving this data to others as part of a background check is a whole different matter. That involves the police making an official statement about you. Of course that should ideally involve a lot more due diligence to make sure the information is correct, and limits on what they can share.
bloated websites are for a reason - nobody wants to pay money for content, but content gets created by people who get paid for their job. so you are not paying money for content, but also don’t want to have advertisement. what is solution? in my mind is just not use those websites :)

Okay, I've spent a little more time on this than I probably should have, but I think I realized something. The reason this works is mostly due to the VCs being generic in general. I've been reading the tweets they're based on and they're equally nonsense as the bot tweet. But bashing multiple tweets together, still produces something that's... coherent? I mean, yea, they're coherent. But it works because it lacks detail.

There's almost no detail or focus on a concrete idea in any of these VC tweets. Everything is so damn vague and abstract in the original tweets, they can apply to anything or anyone. Thus, chopping and mixing them is meaningless, because they are void of meaning to begin with... Sort of the same way horoscopes work. They're pretty broad and the reader fills in the gaps and details. VCs talk like old gypsy fortune tellers... they're vague, tell you roughly what you'd like to hear and are generally useless sacks of breathing meat...

Damn, that was a wild ride...
I'll burn all my reputation for this but every team I worked in complained about having to keep calling lambdas to keep the latency down for all five years.

Failure to distinguish land from capital is an enormous possible pitfall for those trying to fight poverty.

Land titles, and all other types of access rights to natural opportunities, are means by which "rent-seeking" occurs. Rent=seeking is any type of of zero-sum extractive activity that adds nothing to the economy, and simply serves to make the rich richer.

Examples include: holding a prime piece of real estate idle, while waiting for others to add value to that land. Or acquiring a patent just to sue anyone who unknowingly violates it. Or manipulating the rules to your favor through lobbying.

Productive activity, however, must be rewarded since that is the engine of wealth. We can't have a high standard of living if production isn't rewarded. Solving inequality by making everyone poor is not going to get you very far.

This distinction is essential.

The bigger problem is sample-and-hold blur. When you watch a moving object your eyes move smoothly to track it ("smooth pursuit"). If the frame is displayed for more than a brief moment then the image on your retina will be smeared by that eye motion. For sharp looking motion you need either strobing/flicker, or very high frame rate, and many games don't support very high frame rates. Blurbusters has a good overview:

Good for you, and if Ring cameras are positioned so that they can't see past your property line, then I have no problem with them.

However, I have a really serious problem with people who install cloudy surveillance cameras -- especially those from Amazon -- in such a way that they capture innocent people walking by your house.

I don't think anyone should have the right to subject such people to surveillance networks like that, and strongly condemn those that do.

> that capital is a positive feedback loop

This requires a lot of the investment environment that isn't a given. Capital loses its feedback loop if inflation outpaces economic growth or if the quality of investment opportunities declines significantly.

There is no given that just having $10 million dollars means it will be easy to outpace inflation and not end up with less.
GP is overstating a bit but not by too much. I have friends in non-coastal states and $50k is a kingly amount of money out there. As in, renting a nice family-sized house for $500/month.

At san jose's going rate of roughly $4k/month for the same thing, that would be the equivalent of a $400k/yr salary.

Me too. They must be.
That's what I figured... it seemed like a lot of things didn't really take effect until something else happened at runtime. It seemed to me (as a seasoned developer with almost no Spring Boot experience) that there was a lot of mysterious magic there that was great until it didn't work, and then it turned into a debugging nightmare (e.g. stack traces that don't, at all, mention the code where the error exists).
No, you can distribute whatever content you want. But the content distribution network can't listen for posts from those forms when the content is rendered.

SXG doesn't answer DNS requests for your domain. It only says that a particular piece of content has been signed using private keys that have been registered with the displayed host. That's it.

In fact, you don't even need a CDN or DNS to distribute SXG content. You could distribute it via USB drives, or code flags, USB drives attached to messenger pigeons, whatever. The point is that authenticity of the origin of the content is completely independent of how the content got to you.

When that SXG content, however it is distributed, is rendered, the browser represents that content as originating from your domain, which is in fact exactly where it originated.

No. In a rich society like Singapore and America, grassroots can use make a difference with their individual contributions. Money in politics doesn't mean it always favor rich people. Allowing ads is not arbitrarily favoring opponents.
The dictionary definition of this is typically something like "when combined, greater than the sum of their individual parts."

I guess technically if you combine two companies and accomplish the same thing but more cheaply due to overlap the company is therefore "greater" but you see where the meaning is already watered down from its original intent. This is elimination of redundancy, not synergy.

"This merger will result in a big ROI due to redundancy that can be eliminated" is the proper way to say it. Not "This merger will realize a number of synergies". Hence the euphemism comment.

Has anyone tried aggregating top ML algorithms in each perceptual function (vision, audio, etc) and cognitive function into distinct cortices which are then governed by an AGI meta-algorithm?

If that method could yield any success, it wouldn't be any time soon. I imagine we'd need more advanced algorithms for each cortex first (garbage in garbage out) and modern ML is still a young field. However, I'm still curious if that could work. Modeling each neuron seems like a more arduous and perhaps unnecessary task.

There is not a universal right to come to the United States. At some point your argument degrades into “everyone gets to come here and if you enforce or what enforced the existing law you’re [insert -ist here]”. It’s an effective rhetorical payload, I’ll give you that, but it is completely divorced from any kind of system of state sovereignty and integrity.

In a way I agree with you, because “enforcing the law” really is “normalized violence” - philosophically speaking, since it’s the State that has the guns (or most of them).

I agree. Another example of this: Google will force ChromeBook hardware manufacturers to use fwupd instead of proprietary solutions:

https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2019/11/18/google-and-fwupd/

It would be great if these companies had enough good taste and pride in their work to at least try to build something great by default. What we get instead are minimum viable products built in the cheapest way possible and it takes a Google to force them out of their complacency by imposing policies.

On the other hand, Google is at least partially responsible for the current web situation: they normalized advertising and tracking malware on the web. Because of them, publishers think it's totally acceptable to make people download 10 megabytes of ads and javascript to read 10 kilobytes of text. The correct solution is to block all that stuff by default by shipping uBlock Origin pre-installed with browsers.
Sure, but given some of them are enumerated, along with other apps, I would expect turning them all off to effectively disable all system use of location services. By exposing any of them, Apple sets the expectation that those that are exposed are all of them.
When I worked at Symantec in the Peter Norton Group in Santa Monica in 1995 I was told they really wanted to get his picture off of the box as the royalties were too high (reportedly $1 per box but I never did confirm that). They had started the process of minimizing its use so that they could wean the customer off of seeing the image. Still customers loved seeing the picture so there was a constant tension
