So you're gonna make an incredibly disingenuous argument by trying to equate calling someone a 'Motherfucker' with 'Pedo Guy', one of which is an average insult completely disconnected from what you're trying to create and the other which was created by Musk, who hired a private investigator to try and fish out claims while also trying to shop it around to social media outlets in attempt to push the idea that Unsworth was actually a pedophile.
Some wannabe restaurant owners are better at operations (setting up a kitchen) and others are better at marketing (bringing customer orders in). Cloud kitchens make the restaurant business a bit less appealing to the former and a bit more appealing to the latter. There’s nothing inherently sacred about the balance between these two competencies.

Here's my guess: There are things that humans can figure out and do, there are things that are possible, but that humans haven't yet figured out to do. It seems strange to define AGI as "Machines can do everything we can do, but not more". For AGI should a machine be able to figure out calculus(and everything that came with it)? Because that was beyond human intelligence for millennia.

You can answer the question of "Is this machine as smart as a human" by giving it the same data as a human and asking it questions, how would you ever determine if its intelligence is truly general?
> You missed it, this doesn't require an Allow, because it's not actually accessing the microphone.

Presumably, without an allow the API doesn't function at all, so it works perfectly well. When denied access, the API should either not exist, or (more appropriately) just return errors.

In the not too distant future, we may see proactive arrests based on an AI determined probability of committing a crime e.g. minority report.

The best way for governments to get society to their surveillance nirvana is one shortly-lived, outrageous privacy violation at a time. The same way you eat an elephant.

Regarding jails being expensive, isn't this a result of the profit motivation for incarceration that remains in many states (in the US particular, but also abroad)?

"The figures show that the United States has locked up more people than any other country: a half million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the U.S. Statistics reveal that the United States holds 25% of the world’s prison population, but only 5% of the world’s people. From less than 300,000 inmates in 1972, the jail population grew to 2 million by the year 2000. In 1990 it was one million. Ten years ago there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, there are 100, with 62,000 inmates. It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000, according to reports."[1]

This is perhaps the most confusing comment I've ever read.

> versioning your data made sense (MVCC)

In PostgreSQL, functions can be created and versioned with MVCC exactly like data.

> Moving all of your database logic into your application code is very much a poor state of affairs

Okay, then deploy it separarely.

But isn't that the "ceremony" you railed so hard against?

> tooling is still stuck in the 80's

Rather I think you want them to do something (though I'm not exactly sure what) that most other people don't. The tooling for Apache config files is stuck in the 90s too.

> Application developers learned this lesson decades ago.

What lesson?

Is it exactly as hard to install updates to your application, and is it to install updates to your database.

Is it exactly as hard to offer a new API version from your HTTP server (/v2/) as it is from your SQL server.
Try out the Pimsleur method. You'll quickly get the hang of "sounding" correct, even if you can't hold a conversation.

I think it's one prong of a multi-pronged approach to language learning.

I used this method to learn some basic phrases and greetings in Russian. It helped me get by as a tourist, along with earning some surprised looks from the locals.
Same. I'm a little annoyed with some parts of the UI (it seems somehow too encouraging) but the basic utility of the app is hard to beat. The streak system is just enough of a motivator to encourage users to keep at it every day, and that consistency is shockingly effective. The UI is also laser-focused to be approachable, especially on mobile, which I think is the right choice given their broad target audience. It's not going to satisfy power users, but that's not the point.

The actual lesson content is basic, and you'll want to supplement it with broader learning materials and reading in the target language as soon as you're remotely able, but as a jump start from "never spoken a word of this language" to "able to recognize basic grammar patterns, and get the general gist of what I'm reading" it accomplishes this goal quite well, and for very low effort on the part of the user. I can finish my Duolingo rounds in about 15 minutes every day; the hardest part is just remembering to do it. There's something to be said for what they've achieved there.
Particularly an extension that wants access to all websites an d their data. Since the browser has very open permissions from the firewall, and these run under those rules it is open season for an extension dev to send out data.

Interesting article. Here's Abrash's wry summary of the problems facing AR:

Leave aside the issues associated with tracking objects in the real world in order to know how to virtually modify and interact with them. Leave aside, too, the issues associated with tracking, processing, and rendering fast enough so that virtual objects stay glued in place relative to the real world. Forget about the fact that you can’t light and shadow virtual objects correctly unless you know the location and orientation of every real light source and object that affects the scene, which can’t be fully derived from head-mounted sensors. Pay no attention to the challenges of having a wide enough AR field of view so that it doesn’t seem like you’re looking through a porthole, of having a wide enough brightness range so that virtual images look right both at the beach and in a coal mine, of antialiasing virtual edges into the real world, and of doing all of the above with a hardware package that’s stylish enough to wear in public, ergonomic enough to wear all the time, and capable of running all day without a recharge. No, ignore all that, because it’s at least possible to imagine how they’d be solved, however challenging the engineering might be.

Fix all that, and the problem remains: how do you draw black?
If a large enough chunk of people do it, then it becomes unfeasible to block them all. If Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer all implemented a block, it doesn't really matter that Chrome doesn't. That's ~30% of browsing traffic, and no sane company with a large web presence is going to throw away 30% of their traffic.

Even if Magic Leap dies on the vine, I don't think they're anything like Theranos except for both being unsuccessful VC-funded companies. Theranos tried to sell fraudulent health care services. Magic Leap is trying (and failing) to build a real product. You can buy one and see what it does, and nobody's health is impacted if their experience just sucks.
You need to read into it more. Pay to access is possible but optional. Creator can do however they like.
Installing an extension is required but of course not the final solution. The idea is that browser come with ILP enabled by default in the future. Anyway I convincing users to install a browser is any better.

Just like with Brave its only a fraction of user who use it. Adoption takes time.
The good thing is you can make your website web monetized and people who don't use it will not notice at all.

Show HN: Clear OPcache – Our First WordPress Plugin
We (Binary Cocoa) have released our first WordPress plugin and would love to get feedback from the HN community.

It's a simple plugin named Clear OPcache. When installed, it puts a Flush OPcache button in the top admin bar which allows you to flush the OPcache by clicking it. It will let you know if you don't have OPcache enabled and will link you to documentation. It also clears the OPcache/WinCache during a WordPress update.

It's completely free and we'd appreciate any and all feedback. I appreciate your time!

Open Threat Intelligence: AlienVault (AT&T)
I used Duolingo to start learning Danish and within about 6 months had 5*'d almost down to the end of the tree. I always felt like something was missing and enrolled in actual Danish classes from the university here, taught by a native speaker.

Within 4 weeks of class I'd stopped using Duolingo, but I'm still studying and continuing with classes (lessons with a native speaker). I felt that in many places it was inaccurate, prepared me poorly for written conversations with Danes (and don't even get me started on speaking/proununciation), and didn't provide any of the cultural nuance really needed to understand the language and how Danish people construct their sentences.

I guess it's good for vocabulary, but not as good as simple flash cards.
>They're looking at how users use Google Search because the data's there

This. Having worked in past life for one of their competitors, can confirm - what users click on (in SERP) is one of the most powerful signals for ranking. And who got (almost) all the clicks in the world? Google!

That's why it's so damn hard to beat them. It's the unreasonable effectiveness of data: more data (which they have almost all of) usually beats a smarter algorithm, and with 20 years R&D, theirs is surely not dumb.

Do the clicks belong to users or Google, that's an interesting question, though.
Android’s Commitment to Kotlin
AGI is not about knowing how to use some human system (like calculus). It is about having a general reasoning capability that is similar or better than human. One of hard things about AGI is that it is not clear what this entails (ie what exactly IS human general reasoning capability).
Honestly, I've never worked in a shop what would have let anyone design an application where clients were allowed to write stored procedures or views back to the DB.

Similarly, I'd never let a client modify the application logic running on my app servers.

I mean, I can imagine it, but it sounds like painting "root me and do what you will with the corpse" on your front door.
No way, I said. Then I clicked into a random file[0] and was greeted with inline optimizations. Fun and nightmarish stuff, but then I thought about the game and its performance when all of those bombhead guys come running out from way in the distance on 2000s era hardware and the game didn’t hiccup or blink at all. Of course the optimizations are useless with today’s hardware so the code is equally as redundant (but oh so cool to browse)

It seems to be around the wrong way. We need the nuclear reactors providing constant reliable power day and night to the grid, whereas variable renewables such as solar are better for creating synthetic fuels since to be viable on a large scale they need to be combined with a form of storage anyway, which is what the synthetic fuels would be.

> Impersonate them on a service that has a compromised database? Maybe. I think in this particular case, users don't even really lose anything by having someone else access their account. You could argue that the main reason for having any password in this particular case is so that attackers don't get free access to paid course material.

This lets someone with readonly DB access (for instance, from compromising a backup) escalate to making changes in a user's account. That's significant. Maybe the account doesn't protect anything, but it's still a really bad look - and how much would you bet that they would have fixed this before expanding the site's functionality?

> it's pretty easy to tell that it's a script instance because all of them will behave in almost exactly the same way (processor performance, installed plugins, reported screen size, etc. etc.).

Processor performance is variable based on the particular instance you are running on and how much load it is handling. At least at the level the remote side can see.

Screen size is easily configured and/or randomized to some degree, or shifted between 10-20 common values.

Plugins reported or actually allowed to run can be changed per instance.

Well it depends how much time you have to put into it...

Buy (or pirate, but really, you should buy them if you can afford it, they’re great) the entire set of Pimsleur French tapes. There are 90, each 30 mins long. Do one tape every day. Note that this will take you longer than 90 days as you are supposed to repeat tapes when you don’t remember ~80% of the content.

Concurrently, get Anki (flashcard program) and find a French vocabulary deck ordered by frequency. Learn as many new words per day as you have time for. Do all your required reviews every day.

Concurrently, spend as much time as you can every day reading or listening to appropriate material and trying to understand it. Search for “French graded reader” for some good books to buy.

Just last week I had someone explode on me Thanksgiving night and physically assault me for a prolonged period of time, while saying things about my poverty and how I was born in poverty and would die in poverty, and trying to blame me for every bad thing that has happened in my life.

This is a person who has been to jail twice for federal property damage and a DUI, who has had several cars given to him by his parents, and who had to resort to a contract with the military in order to straighten himself out. He couldn't hold a job for the longest time and would steal from everyone around him. His parents have helped him again, and again, and again, while mine were just not there.

When a meth-dealing police officer who often stalked my friends and I planted drugs on me at the scene of an accident, I didn't have parents to back me up. Probably a dozen friends who had a parent that was a lawyer, but no one offered to help. I was railroaded by the system and received the maximum possible incarceration time. It didn't matter that I had witness testimony; I didn't have money.

So I am aware of how a socioeconomic safety net works. I am aware of the classist mentalities which keep these systems in place. If you aren't going to provide meaningful anecdotal data or answer my question, then please refrain from giving me a crash course in socioeconomics like the other couple dozen posters who beat you to the punch.
Interesting. I speak 2 foreign languages fluently (French and German) learned through formal training and immersion.

Not to say that DL couldn’t be better, but for what I’m paying, Dutch lessons from DL seem to be worth my time.
