First, obligatory short story (free open access on the site below) for this entire concept. It takes things to their extreme conclusion and I liked it very much with the way it experiments with QI: https://www.tor.com/2010/08/05/divided-by-infinity/

This brings me to my second point: in relation to the death of a close family member a couple years ago from cancer. The end lasted a month and largely consisted in its last days of a slow withering of conscious reasoning and awareness. How exactly would something like that square with the notion of consciousness suddenly jumping to the QI state in which it simply "persists"? An argument around this was already made by Max Tegmark, who suggested that the flaw in that reasoning is that dying is not a binary event. Instead it is very often a progressive degeneration, with a continuum of states of steadily decreasing consciousness. In other words, in most real causes of death (and this squares with my experience), one experiences such a gradual loss of self-awareness that an observer defies all odds only within the confines of a very abstract scenario.

Furthermore, the obvious: QI does not at all save us from the loss of loved ones who do die in our quantum branch. Even if it were true, and each individual continues to perceive consciousness in a sort of immortal state of constantly branching awareness, we objectively know that we see these people die forever in our perception, with no allowance that I know of for a reunion in the future. Thus, its ultimate outcome if you follow this logic is deeply tragic: We keep living, seeing those we love die to our perception, while these same loved ones go through the same process, even if in some other branch other versions of both get to see said loved ones continue to live for a certain time longer.
I was just thinking the other day that if there's one thing I want more of, it's more consolidation around the largest corporations in the world.
Kind of true, but the city will make a grab for that value eventually. Property taxes in Seattle, for example, have been scaling with increase in property prices. California will re-adjust property tax valuations on sale of property (encouraging people not to sell...). Why not pay $500/month in property taxes on that $800k townhome?

And really, why would that be unexpected? As the value of the house rises, the services that can be provided increase, often on direct demand of those house owners themselves (they want good/better schools, for example).
We dont have accreditation from universities, but this is the direction we are going with the RedCarpet ROCKS program .

https://www.redcarpetup.com/rocks

we do active placement here (unless we hire them). We have an above 90% placement rate here.
I hear that companies do. I'm a hiring manager, and I may sometimes click if there's a link in the resume. With me, it can give you bonus points, but not really points against you. Since I believe that there's many developers who do awesome at work, stuff I'll never be able to see on GitHub either, so it'd not be fair. I consider myself a decent hire, yet my own GitHub is quite sparse. (Though, on the other hand, then why include it on your resume. If instead I have to google or duckduckgo for it, well, that's on me then.)
This looks a lot more like an apprenticeship to me than a degree.

Which I think is fantastic, Universities are generally terrible at teaching practical skills and fantastic at teaching theory.
Basically: A player on the losing team made a good play.

I don't think it's a particularly good example; despite the fact that his team lost, that play significantly improved his team's chance for a win. If he doesn't make that play, then players on the other team would have better numbers.
Actually, almost definitely yes! Those things you mentioned, despite being friction areas, are actually loaded with all kinds of cultural and class norms, and the fact that you have parents who care enough and are around enough to be able to set those boundaries is a major selection criterion for success in other areas.

That's not to say you can't screw it up. If family dinners are spent in silence with the kids praying they get through the dinner without setting dad off again and watching him beat their mom to a pulp, or hoping that they don't get sexually abused later that night by one of their family members, etc. Then yes, maybe there are some quality issues, but I'd argue even in that extreme case, it might still be a positive indicator against the base cases of abuse without that element.

I was a paramedic. There is a massive fraction of society with upbringings like you wouldn't imagine. That's what you're up against. When people say they have a dysfunctional family, it's often pretty mundane. Especially compared to people in that class that didn't realize until they were an adult that things like getting raped by all of their mom's boyfriend's isn't a normal thing everyone deals with as soon as they start puberty.

Lex here. The amount of positive and thoughtful comments here is humbling. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Here are things I didn't realize is the role of the interviewer (my role) but I now know they are:

1. Push towards depth, because not all people go there naturally themselves.

2. Ask for clarifications if I don't understand something. This can make me sound stupid, but it's a worthy sacrifice. I will always sacrifice ego for the chance to understand something basic or hopefully fundamental. In fact, I play dumb sometimes just to force explanation of basics on which the technically deep ideas are built.

3. Disagree respectfully (at times playing devil's advocate) to give a chance to the interviewee to argue their point.

4. Speak whatever question or point I have clearly, concisely, quickly, and then shut up and listen. My role is to give the other person a break and to throw up ideas that spark their passion. I really struggle with this (especially the concise, clear part).

Thank you again for the kind words. I'll keep improving!

I agree with this. I’ve been in the AI field(s) for over 25 years and I really wanted to like this podcast. The people Lex gets on are amazing, but I haven’t been able to get through any of the episodes as they get too philosophical.

I understand it would be difficult to get ones head around the matter produced by each of these giants to ask more specific questions. Would it be worth asking others in the field about the key ideas that require explaining and which topics are controversial?
Congrats on the new job in São Paulo! :)

I'd echo other commentators that it's heartening to hear these stories of real connection found via the web.

I had a similar experience some years ago; a blog post I wrote about a side project connected me the SF-based startup I still work for. I couldn't have predicted how that post, churned up by a fortuitous google ranking, would impact my life. I'd be remiss to not also credit the generosity of the blogger who shared it as a guest post.

If we're going to rediscover what the web should have been, then celebrating stories like yours seems a good place to start.

There are teams formed, love found, and minds changed for good -- all via the web. Perhaps it's in part by studying these connection stories that we'll find our way to a healthier, more human web for everyone.

Another great example of the positive web: https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/97588463553510195...

> How would you write your code today if you knew it would of been your last commit and still in use in 30 years ?

Separate the engine from the I/O and user interface. This is also the key to porting it to different systems.

For example, if your engine #include windows.h or stdio.h, you're doing it wrong.

Ok, someone's a racist. So what? At the end of the day, it's a belief system. As long as that person treats people with respect, I have no problem with it.

For example, if you are, say, a Christian and some other guy is a Muslim and your offended by that belief, well, that's on you. It shouldn't discredit a scientific theory. Evidence is supposed to do that.

LOL. I literally just gave a talk last night to a group of church friends about being a tech worker, going to bootcamp vs cs degree, work in startups vs FAANG, and long term career as a tech worker.

I put this verse in the end of the talk.
Thank you! To me, asking philosophical questions of world-class mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, engineers is eye-opening and inspiring. It's taking a break at looking up at the stars. I love the messy details of engineering, but every once in a while it feels great to pause, and reflect on the big picture of our incredible, unlikely existence here on Earth.

As Oscar Wilde said: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

I love the gutter and I love the stars!
Dr. Francis is either unfamiliar with, or being profoundly misleading of, expert opinion, as surveys show:

"In the current study, EQCA experts wereasked what percentage of the US Black-White differences in IQ is, in their view, due to environment or genes. In general, EQCA experts gave a 50–50 (50% genes, 50% environment) response with a slight tilt to the environmental position (51% vs. 49%; Table 3). When EQCA experts were classified into discrete categories (genetic, environmental, or 50–50), 40% favored an environmental position, 43% a genetic position, and 17% assumed 50–50." - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2019.101406

> I think this video [1], does a good job of attacking a lot of race science and intelligence

'Attacking' is a good description, as the author of that video went to great lengths to mislead. For example, he says the author of The Bell Curve doesn't understand what 'hereditary' means. But the definition the video author gives for 'hereditary', and the definition given in the book he's reviewing, match almost perfectly. So how did he come to that conclusion? He went out of his way to find a live interview where the book author fumbled his answer, instead of giving the definition from the book he's reviewing, or as you more accurately put it, attacking.
Ask HN: How do you understand user behavior/health and communicate with them?
Wanted to see if HN had suggestions for tools to get a good grasp of what all our users / customers are doing in our SaaS app, understanding how successful / healthy they are, and then communicating with them?

We currently use Mongo for our DB and Mixpanel for product analytics, which lets us see what specific events have occurred. But so far we haven't been able to figure out a good way to see things from a customer orientation, in order to answer things things like:

Which customers tried to use a specific feature today, which were successful in using the feature, and how many times did they use it?

Over the last week, which customers have not logged into our app, and therefore I should email them to figure out why?

Over the last week, which customers have logged in but not installed our app, so I need to offer support

Which customers were active last week but not active this week, and therefore I need to reach out and understand why? What are the email addresses of those users, and how can I reach out / email them with one click?

I can build dashboards for all of this, but are there tools to track user behavior like this, ideally with communication / automation built in?

Thanks in advance!

An analogous historic example can be found in lead toxicity denial and denial of the harmful effects of tobacco. It took generations to chase away the bad-faith actors in the scientific and medical communities.
If Sestrin administration truly prevents muscle atrophy, it could commoditize fitness. People would train intensively for a year or two and then take Sestrin for the rest of their life. Everyone would look like an Olympian. That would also single-handedly solve obesity, since baseline caloric requirements would shoot up. Perhaps Sestrin would even negate the need for cardio, by maintaining a strong heart. Quality-adjusted life years and overall lifespan would improve. Lastly, it would be interesting to see how people modulate their musculature just like how they choose their clothes. People would self-select into a conspicuously identifiable group of similarly-shaped people.

Of course, I’m skeptical that Sestrin might fully prevent muscle atrophy on its own. At the same time, there’s no evolutionary reason for us to lose muscle anymore, since calories are essentially guaranteed. Intuitively, muscle atrophy seems like a puzzle that can be solved. If the muscle is already there, find whatever phenomenon makes it wither and stop it.
I'm of the opinion that WebGPU should try not to be a friendly API on its own, but instead practically mandate a framework on top. This is the philosophy that the newer APIs like Vulkan/D3D12 adopt; that you should have a higher-level renderer driving it that's able to reason about your entire scene graph. I've suggested as much to the WG before, who roughly seem to agree.

> also worth noting is that a significant portion of a large bank's customers are over middle age and still want high-touch in-person and phone interactions in a financial institution.

I'm a millennial. For some banks I vastly prefer phone interactions just because their customer service is so fast and awesome; little to no hold time needed. Calling Discover Bank or Schwab has always been this pleasant. I've even become so lazy that I'd just call them to ask for a workaround for their UI bug. The same cannot be said for most other banks, like Bank of America. If I discover a bug on their UI, I'd rather get into the software engineer's problem-solving mode and figure out a workaround by myself, assuming Googling the issue doesn't work.
Thank you. Exactly! I ask these questions in hope to inspire the rare gems of brilliance. Sometimes those come from deep technical questions and sometimes from silly philosophical questions. Both have potential. I fail often with striking the right balance, but hopefully less and less over time.

It's not cherrypicked at all. 1980 is an ideal date to refer to. It's smack in the midst of the cold war, when the US was very clearly a global superpower, and then to relate it to the smaller economic size ratio to other major nations like France.

There are more extreme examples - different years - of comparisons I could have easily used instead, to amplify differences if that's what I wanted to do. I used a decade point for a good reason, in part to avoid being aggressive on cherrypicking.

PPP terms are worthless at best and wildly and entirely inaccurate at worst. They barely even qualify as guesses.

That's how you get Puerto Rico with a PPP GDP per capita equal to New Zealand and just below Japan in 2018 per the IMF (and far above Portugal; absurd). That's embarrassing for anyone that puts stock in PPP as a premise.

Taiwan has a PPP per capita higher than Austria, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, Canada. Yeah, sure.

And Russia almost has a PPP per capita as high as Portugal and just a bit below Israel.

Saudi Arabia has a PPP per capita 20% higher than Finland. Uh, bullshit. Higher than Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Australia, Germany, Canada, France, Britain, etc.

And China has a PPP per capita equal to Iraq & Botswana and below Iran and Gabon.

That's a small example of what makes PPP laughable. It could hardly be any more useless and unscientific.

Are you referring to Chrome's profiles? Because Firefox's counterpart to that is Firefox profiles, not containers. Firefox profiles are clunkier to launch & use though (like a hidden feature that has rebuffed all my attempts to streamline their management, as if by design). Type 'firefox -P -no-remote' to start with firefox profiles.

IMO containers and profile functionalities shouldn't be mixed. Containers are a lightweight version of Profiles. Running 2 profiles is essentially running 2 separate browsers running with separate histories, add-ons, bookmarks, settings. A bit like threads vs processes.
What is the user interface like for Firefox profiles?
Yeah, this blog post comes across as startup-y hero worship, like

This made me think, are bus drivers legally allowed to kick off someone who is sleeping indefinitely on the bus or otherwise just being loud, obnoxious, offensive smelling, etc?

I wonder if public transit were free, if I would get to see more homeless people on the bus as a result. For reference, the bus I typically take is the Dash which only costs 50 cents at most. Not that big of a deal, and right now there are rarely any homeless who take it. Some people who do stay too long get reprimanded by the bus driver, but I have never seen the bus driver do anything beyond that (since I'm gone before then). I have nothing against homeless persons, but seeing (and smelling) them regularly on my commute to work would quickly inspire me (and likely others) to find alternatives like Uber, working hard to get a car, walking, cycling, etc.
