It's strange to me that passwords exist in 2019. Somehow the best practice is to use a passwords manager, which is an entire layer of poorly pasted-on UI that uses hacks to intercept every login you make whether via app or website. And I'm not saying password managers are bad, they're amazing for security, it's just odd that password managers are the best thing we have because their UI is terrible. It seems like these things should be handled at the browser / device level for universal one-tap login.
I'm one of the Yggdrasil developers, and FYI, the cjdns routing scheme is flawed and has severe scaling issues. It will, in all likeliness, be replaced with a variation of the Yggdrasil[1] routing scheme in future updates to the cjdns codebase and route servers.

The existing Hyperboria network already sees issues due to scale today and it's not even 1000 nodes.

I'm sure this problem wouldn't occur if they simply used Haskell for scripting. Or modeled NPC interactions with TLA+. Can someone with a Twitter account please tell them this? Such a simple solution to all these game bugs.
Not entirely true, straight from his website "You can collect both SSDI and $1,000 a month. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the universal basic income, those who are legally disabled would have a choice between collecting SSDI and the $1,000, or collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous.

Even some people who receive more than $1,000 a month in SSI would choose to take the Freedom Dividend because it has no preconditions. Basic income removes these requirements and guarantees an income, regardless of other factors." https://www.yang2020.com/what-is-freedom-dividend-faq/
Honestly, by 2018 it should be something like 50/50 or 100/50 as a minimum.
The lottery is in everything. The fact that you were able to save money at 28k/year income. The fact that you were able to go to MIT. Education helps, but its not the entire influence and there is luck in education...
When someone in that industry tells me the machine is broken, I presume they're being dishonest because it benefits them (they avoid fees and presumably tax reporting to the income) and I've seen too many cabs have their machines magically working if you tell them it's CC or they aren't getting paid.

Also, if the machine actually isn't working, they always used to have paper slips to make CC charges. Those are never mentioned unless you tell them it's CC or they aren't getting paid. Dishonesty by omission is very much still dishonesty, and telling someone that the CC machine is broken implies that they can't accept CCs at all.
I find that we need to reinvent passwords. If you write a long sentence of twenty words and you miss some letters the passwords should still match somehow. Currently I can't imagine using long phrases for passwords as a small change invalidates the whole thing./
They knew what to observe for, but they couldn't figure out how to reproduce that.
Well for one thing it means the project isn't dead, whether or not the release is ready.
Just tried it. Curious how others are using this and how you expect people will use it?
I would really like to learn how to make good video, the kind that people cannot stop watching.

I just finished teaching two elementary classes the basics of programming in Scratch.

I created video so the kids could review it at home. But when I am watching it, I realize it is super dry and boring.

I am not really where to start to find a way to learn this.

I too have worked at a roboadvisor and to my understanding (as an engineer, not a financial advisor), its advice was more complex and useful than how you describe Wealthfront works. I haven't personally used Wealthfront so I'm not as familiar with what it does specifically.

> "variable mix of index ETFs based on a 15 question survey" is not as much of a gamechanger as the roboadvisor's tout.

I agree that if that's all your roboadvisor is doing, it's a bad roboadvisor. You point out a wide range of other financial advice people need. The thing is, quite a lot of that is possible algorithmically.

> Figuring out how loan refinancing can reduce debt burdens long term

You can absolutely do this algorithmically, and Credit Karma's offering is already moving in this direction, if it's not already there.

> Figuring out how to contribute to their kids future education expenses

If this gets into "how do I change my current spending and income to be able to contribute to my kids' education", you're right, that's not something that fits into the algorithmic model easily.

> Figuring out the size of an emergency fund you need

Not difficult get a reasonably good outcome here with a questionnaire.

> Figuring out a reasonable living budget based on income and debt

Agreed, this becomes similar to the education bullet point above. YNAB is a much better example of how to solve this with a software product.

> Figuring out how to maximize tax burden through a combination of 401K, IRAs

This fits into a roboadvisor's model reasonably well, right? (Although they likely can't make money on the 401K part without being the employer's 401K provider.)

> Figure out how to get tax savings once you hit income limits on IRAs

Is this so different from what TurboTax does algorithmically? (Depending on how fancy you want to get with the tax savings).

You've made a great argument about the original point you made that I challenged, and convinced me. Where we may differ is that I see a large number of corollary services that a roboadvisor could offer that together would be substantially more useful than a glorified target date fund.
VATs by themselves are regressive, VAT + UBI would be highly progressive (or VAT + social spending like healthcare or housing).

One thing that's kind of good the US tax system is the tendency to produce large multinationals, since businesses here pay taxes on profits, it incentivizes them to keep growing, and now US companies dominate the world over. From a geopolitical perspective that's very valuable.

But it does lead to monopolies and abuse.
When will programers ever learn, that they can not program the users, no mater how intricate the rules and how insistant the harassment.

Enforced password complexity, is actually a in user space implemented algorithm:

while (passwordIsToComplex()) do

try{

if(createEasierPassword()){ goto FAILURE;}
if (circumventSecurityMeasures()) { goto FAILURE;}
if (hackSecurityToGetWorkDone()){ goto FAILURE;}

}

FAILURE:

Basically, you train a process-organism in your company to circumvent your security measures, for little gain.
The tweets seem to also say the companions could die in battle, which would lead to a lot of noise.
What exactly happens when there is a bubble in the private markets? And what happens when it crashes? Does it affect the public markets in anyway?

In other words, if I believe there's a huge bubble in the private valuations of unicorns likewise proven by companies like Wag or WeWork, will it A: Affect my 401K and mutual funds I have in Vanguard and B: Is there anything I can do to short it?
>confusing government agencies

pretty dry humor

Seriously though, ATT was a government entity that got its huge advantage from being a monopoly. After they were forced to "split up" (wink wink nudge nudge) they then shed all their unprofitable business and recombined again as new "ATT".

At no point have they ever really become a customer-focused company and all their decisions are steeped in monopolistic style thinking.
I'm not sure I understand why NPCs are prevented from interacting with the environment while you're talking... given that gameplay isn't stopped. Seems like an arbitrary decision that might lead to other surprising behavior too... e.g. talking to someone else to interrupt an NPC performing a scripted action.
Wow that was exactly what I hoped existed! I especially liked the one where you end up beneath reality, hurtling sideways past yourself into a never-ending void.
To be clear, I left out the TVAs in the above breakdown (or lumped them in depending on your POV).

So: ~0.1% elites, N% Googlers-of-the-line, M% TVAs, P% service workers, where N+M+P ~= 99.9%
There should really be laws governing security requirements for software systems just like we have traffic laws.

You generally do not enable the level of logging that I imagine would be necessary to find this bug, on the enduser version of the software. I could be wrong.
From what I've read that's right. Kids don't die on nearly the same scale, likewise mothers giving birth.

Nutrition has gotten better, which helps immune system strength.

We know what causes a lot of diseases and can protect against their spread. Both reactively in terms of illnesses people get and in terms of prevention such as vaccines and warnings about smoking.

Even then there are records of famous ancient people like Egyptian kings who lived to what we'd still consider a ripe old age now.
A bit of a side-topic, but I believe there are even more interesting consequences/applications of future AR when it comes to looks.

Why bother with only "fixing" certain things about your looks, whereas you can look like something/someone completely different? With AR advanced enough, I believe we will get to the point of multiple "realities" overlaid on top of the real one, which opens doors for so many interesting possibilities and applications. Don't like that pesky skyscraper blocking view of the lake from your apt? Luckily, there is a reality server you can subscribe to that has it removed. Or another reality server that acts like ad-block for real life.

When the AR tech matures and gets in the hands of an average person, I expect life to change in such a crazy way, that changes brought by wide smartphone adoption will look like a tiny blip in comparison.

Wait, was that capital Z or lowercase z?
This is a very interesting question. I'm in a different scenario due that I envisioned an idea and I hire a developer to program stuff. So in my case I give the orders. In your case is more difficult due that you need to discuss and agree on several stuff. There are always differences between people I suggest to have a open minded talk with you co-founder and divide responsibilities to tackle problems better.

Hunter gatherer cultures don't have as many issues with disease spread because of the low population density. If your little community has a couple dozen people, even a 100% morality rate doesn't tend to spread past the couple dozen. Plagues really require high density agricultural societies.
It depends on just how huge the model is. Some models take multiple seconds to run/backpropagate and might take hundreds of gigabytes of memory, in which case it could be useful.

Quite the disaster... if only I’d dumped my APPL stock years ago? I would bet that Apple isn’t expecting 1 year turnovers on the iPhone11.

Not even a price point in my mind since I keep Apple products for 3-7 years. Would buy it tomorrow if I didnt have a free i8.

Well... make a fairly fast decision rather than an optimal one.

Say I'm looking for something that costs $20 online. I might look at three or four sites. I might take five minutes. It's not worth it to take more time.

Say I'm looking to rent a ski chalet for a week for $3000. Now I'm taking considerably longer - probably at least an evening, followed by letting it sit in my mind overnight.

Let the size of the purchase scale the amount of time you spend looking for a better answer.
So let me get this straight these busybodies wrote some code to spam companies lawyer with notifications.. and they did not get all fired on the spot?
Yes. I don't know what is being sent back, or what information it has gathered. If a program does not require internet access for its basic functionality, and it then accesses the internet without explicitly asking me for permission, it should be viewed with extreme suspicion.

> the sleek machined quality of the Cybertruck is ultimately a disqualifying characteristic
I'm a fan of pure gameplay telemetry, pure error telemetry, etc... I specifically remember being amazed at the heatmaps that Bungie shared about data in Halo 2 and thinking that I needed to learn how to do that, and it was going to change how development was done forever.

But it's difficult to police good telemetry and easy to change silently. Bad actors have continually given justifiable reasons for data collection, sometimes even with a pinky-swear that they'll not use it for evil. But the terms can be updated by the party collecting the data at any time they desire, with little recourse for the user other than to stop using that product or service.

So no, I'm not worked up over that kind of telemetry, but I'm still going to block it. It doesn't make sense not to.
For that bot to have sufficient information, you're going to have to give up a lot of privacy...
No I'm saying: "We don't have a perfectly accurate physical model of consciousness, we know that physics is incomplete, and our current model of neurons extends to the lowest levels of known physics, therefore there may be unknown physics involved in consciousness, and those unknown physics may not be computable."
Nothing. But I imagine with “business logic” you’d favor expressiveness over speed and type safety.
Thanks for the feedback PhaedrusV, and apologies for the issue you encountered.

I just tested the Lumineers song you uploaded (meaning that I played your exact import, not that I imported the gp4 file from scratch) and it seems to be working ok for me.

I think that if you try again it will probably work. I think the problem you encountered was that the file wasn't properly (fully) downloaded when the app tried to open it. Specifically that sounds like an example of a file-download race condition we're working on (I mentioned it elsewhere in this discussion if you are curious).

Usually when this happens if you just hit the back button in the header to go back to the track-selection screen, wait a few seconds and then hit the play (or forward) button it will work the second time around.

I realize what a crappy UX it is when that happens but it is almost always a temporary glitch. If you go back to the track selection screen, give it a second to finish flushing to disk it should work. (Moreover once the file is loaded to your local cache you shouldn't see the problem again.)

If you are still having problems you could try flushing your local cache (go to the Settings, toggle "Advanced Options" to on then clicking the "Clear Cache" button that now appears at the bottom) and try again.

If you are still having problems even after that please reach out via the contact form in the app, or online at https://www.fatpick.com/contact-us, or contact me directly as rod@<that-domain> and we'll work it out.

Your aside is pretty much dead-on the big ethical issue with bias in ML right now.

For example, ML can do quite a good job of predicting recidivism rates in convicts, and justice systems have been using this to aid in sentencing and parole hearings. Obviously, these ML approaches are not supposed to consider ethnicity. So the factor that ends up having the greatest weight is "did your father / grandfather spend time in prison", which is an extremely effective proxy for "are you not white".

Basically, when your training data is based on a reality already heavily influenced by bias, your models will end up reflecting and perpetuating that bias.

When Ronald Graham, a concerned friend and fellow mathematician, bet him [Erdos] $500 that he couldn’t stay off his drug of choice for a month, Erdos accepted and easily won the challenge. When the 30 days was up, Erdos said to Graham, “You’ve showed me I’m not an addict. But I didn’t get any work done. I’d get up in the morning and stare at a blank piece of paper. I’d have no ideas, just like an ordinary person. You’ve set mathematics back a month.” Erdos resumed taking amphetamines and did so for every day of his life until his death 17 years later.

Why are you being downvoted? You're talking about relevant periods of history, and providing a much more interesting counterpoint.
Surely it could be enabled with a runtime flag?
Very doable. I also want(ed) this. There are some old kernel patches on github that extend the android USB driver to also be able to register as an HID device.

I also tried kicking the android driver and just using (iirc) usbfs or what is was called so you could implement HID in userspace and repurpose old phones while kicking android. But the vendor kernel stopped compiling :/

This woul imo be a really interesting application to repurpose old android phones.

I don't agree. I think they're equally ethically challenged.

I accept that there will always be companies that sell offensive software to governments and the like. What gets my goat is when they aren't portrayed as what they are: sleazebag attackers.
Yep, and that is what we do. But we also check to ensure that a secure cipher was used, not none. Many of the "JWT is insecure" type articles (and real vulnerabilities found) were based on the fact that people just used dumb defaults and didn't secure things. So the argument is really that JWT is a footgun without some adult supervision.
Author of Scriptella here. Thank you for mentioning it! The product was neglected for many years, but I never was ready to finally press the kill switch. Hoping that one day I will have more time to work on it...

One thing that I still find quite surprising/troubling about the current tech landscape, is the incredibly strong "rich get richer" feedback loop of seed and VC investing. Especially given that most people in Silicon Valley seem to really value the idea of meritocracy when it comes to founders and companies and job opportunities. Although the personal connections involved would be a big barrier to outsiders regardless, I find it crazy that there's also the explicit legal requirement that you must be worth at least a million dollars in liquid assets to be an accredited investor and invest in a private company.

The argument in favor of the current system is that investments are risky and non-millionaires can't be trusted to make good financial decisions for themselves, and it takes such a huge amount of skill to be a decent investor anyway that the average person isn't really missing out on anything.

This type of finding seems like a pretty strong refute of this idea. It turns out that at least in the current landscape, the average tech seed investment deal is more valuable than other investments available to people.
Low overhead is a tempting metric, but often charities try too hard to get it low enough, and not do things like monitoring if whatever they are doing actually make things better.

At first I figured the physical solution, not being able to climb higher than the ladder in any case, would seem to be a reasonable one. And you probably want to do that. But that might somehow end up with characters stuck on a ladder if the dismount event never fires for some reason, so making the ladder a single event and\or exempting the dismount from the "blockable furniture actions" list, should also be done.

They should probably also consider adding fall damage as part of the considerations in invulnerable mode.
It's not possible to automate a decision like investing more vs paying off mortgage early, because that decision is entirely up to your personal preference.

Do you prefer being debt free, or do you prefer keeping some debt that is at 3.6% interest while you earn 7% in the market? The former has a lower risk associated with it whereas the latter has a higher potential for net worth increases over time. But to decide which one you want, you'd need to figure out what your priorities are. A machine can't do that for you.

At best it could show you the outcomes if you were to pursue either path, given some set of assumptions. But a machine also can't predict the future so it wouldn't know what the absolute correct answer is.

The reason the S&P 500 tracking is more like self driving is because the economy will likely be worth more in the future than it is today, and so will investments made into index funds. It's possible the economy could be worth less, but if that happens we'll have much bigger problems to deal with than individual net worth.
What you're saying here is really "everybody has a price". That's never a flattering observation.
