I’m not sure I follow this line of thought. If all the grocery stores did this, then I agree society would certainly take action: build better, more open grocery stores. surely the same principle applies here, A business like Twitter can choose to block a group of ideologies. If there is enough want in the part of people to propagate those ideologies, they’ll build a better forum and if those ideas are successful, that forum will be. Competitive, capitalistic behavior handles this.

I looked into buying CO2 laser and built one own my own.

It doesn't need much, just couple of aluminium extrusions for frame and V wheel for motion and couple of Nema17 motors. Also cooling for tube and optics.

But laser tube life is crap, I am still waiting for cheap laser systems to come to market but it seems there is nothing cheaper than CO2 available in 60-100w range.

It is really interesting to see the difference between countries, I travel between Asia and Europe and I knew that iMessage existed, but I thought people dropped it like SMS, years ago. Interesting to see that in a globalized world some differences still persist. I have asked around me to Iphone owners if they used iMessage and they almost never use it. It must be something specific to the US.

Please do not downvote me for not living in the US :)
It will never be cheaper than avoiding co2 in the first place (or at least catching at the source) so while it might have applications, it seems impractical for making significant progress towards saving the planet at this point.
In regards to that first link, discriminated unions are awesome in general, it is a pattern that occurs all over the place in real world code and having compiler support for it is very nice.
My point is that this isn't exclusive to iOS; if you move to Android, that SMS spam isn't going away. Unless you can mute Android's SMS app because you receive 0 legitimate SMS messages, you'll be dealing with the same problem.
You do know that all you have to do is buy a USB-B to USB-C cable and you can connect your existing equipment to your Macbook, right? I mean it sucks that the new Macbooks have so few USB-C ports, but there's nothing preventing you from plugging in all of the older USB-A/B/micro/etc equipment directly into it as long as you buy the correct $5 cable with a USB-C connector on the other end. No dongles necessary.
Any graph of world GDP is meaninglessly short on the timescale of the Earth’s ecosystem. What looks like unstoppable success to us could be a blip in the broader context.
From what I read the HARM (and all anti radiation missiles) wasnt particularly good at tracking a moving target. Especially another aircraft closing in fast that is manuverable.

As for IR missile options beyond the Sidewinder the US never really invested in any longer range IR missiles like the Soviets did as part of their overall effort to go big in IRST (which didn't seem to pan out all that well to my knowledge).

No, think of the sky in terms of the surface of the earth. The star link satellites paths are like a few highway stretched across the surface. Not only is it a tiny sliver cut across the glob, it’s also at a very specific LEO so the spacecraft wouldn’t even stop there in the vast majority of cases.
Still plenty of time for GDP to turn into a sigmoid

> A corporation is a system for maximizing a well-defined metric.

Interesting theory. My perspective is that once a corporation thinks of itself that way, it's already going downhill. Once a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Now I assume you're imagining the well-defined metric to be profit, in attempt to dodge the aforementioned problem. However, even leaving aside the problem of short- vs long-term profit, I don't think that metric has a sufficiently well-defined link with actions to be optimized with anything we can build in the near term. There's too much "common sense" involved that, AFAICT, we still don't have any idea how to handle.

Ed: I guess I sort of did the thing the OP told me not to. But I still don't think the ability to phrase the problem of running a corporation as "optimize profit" makes it likely to be accomplished sooner than any other AGI application.
Most of those words are short though, which means the displacement of a letter from its expected location is not very large. And if you combined typical spelling errors with the scrambled order, it might be too much to parse. I think it's going to far to suggest letter order has no useful information.

>The path to citizenship for an H1B is over 10 years now.

you can already start a business as a green card holder, but yes it takes a while in the current system to obtain the ability to start a company. I don't see however how that relates to the argument. The average age of h1b users is very young (majority between 25 and 34), so they all have a fulll career ahead of them.
Fair enough, but my point against the tinfoil hattery still stands; Just because the gubment was involved with it's inception doesn't mean it has backdoors.
I recall having a turbo button on a 386-based computer that halved the speed - I don't recall if it was from 40mhz to 20 or from 80mhz to 40, something like that. I also recall seeing computers of that era which had a mhz display on the front to show the current processor speed.
Interesting how the title of the FAQ item says "Why can't I sign in with Facebook anymore?", but to get the actual answer to that question, one has to go to HN....
You have to uncage the seeker head in order for it to track. You would be just dropping it with the seeker pointing forward and hoping that the missile locks onto it with a limited view. The seeker is uncaged normally when you are tracking a target before you fire it. The pilot would have no idea if the missile would track when dropped.

This has interesting information on how little of a state there really is.
> If trance simply refers to whatever happens after hypnosis, then it
could signify most anything, as each individual’s personal experience
is unique, and responses to hypnosis are cued mostly by suggestions
and very little, if at all, as we have noted, by the presence of the
hypnotic induction (Lynn, Laurence, & Kirsch, 2015). If the term
trance implies that the purported state somehow increases suggestibility, then this definition is circular, as hypnotic responsiveness can
at once indicate the presence of a hypnotic trance and be explained by
it (see Braffman & Kirsch, 1999; Lynn & Green, 2011; Sarbin & Coe,
1972).

One of the more interesting developments I've seen, such as in this systematic review of hypnosis literature, is that different phenomena have different suggestibility, and that hypnotic scales are really unreliable, as people do not fit on a straight line from non-suggestible to suggestible.

I'm also fascinated that the Carleton Skills Training
Program (CSTP) can improve suggestibility, so testing for it may not be the right approach, but you might rather find people who are self-taught.

One thing that I found really interesting is that there's some evidence for a region in our brain responsible as to whether we percieve a thought as automatic (e.g. not starting in our consiousness), called the parietal operculum.
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00207144.2019.16...

This essentially leads to one possibility that hypnosis is little more than a kind of imagination that engages this region versus any other.

Altair is amazing. I've been using matplotlib going on 12 years now -- Altair didn't feel more productive at first (more typing), but the longer you work with it, the more you realize how the API is a cohesive system. This leads to a more iterative workflow and eventually to better visualizations.
Oh man. Apple has us by the nuts. I love my iMessage. I've been on a macbook for ~10 years, but I just started working at Microsoft and thus have been spending a lot of time in Windows. Multiple times per day I think of something I want to send my wife, like a link to something I'm reading or something, and I look for the iMessage on the dock and of course there is no dock and no iMessage. I want iMessage for Windows. and Linux.

To some extent, But, for instance, while private citizens may have guns for self-defense, they're unlikely to have tear gas, rubber bullets, armored vehicles, Stingrays, etc. And community watches that are run by actual community members are likely to have a very different set of priorities from a professional police force.

I'm not at all saying that this by itself would eliminate racially-disproportionate violence done by the police (and you could argue that it'd risk increasing it, in fact - George Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch leader, not a cop). But it would straightforwardly eliminate a host of excesses from militarized equipment and training to asset forfeiture to the blue wall to qualified immunity to even (relatively) minor things like quotas.

(And to be clear, I'm not saying that "arm the populace and set up civilian watches" is a complete or good replacement for the police - I'm just saying it seems like the minimal possible step to take if you're carving the police out of a society that evolved around having police. If you don't even take that step, the results of a "natural experiment" of a day without police aren't meaningful. But it's not an actual policy proposal; a serious attempt at getting rid of the police would in fact want to be careful about making an even less-accountable shadow police.)

A lot of people have pointed of culture and language, and this has been two of the most important things for me when I've had to make the choice between programmers.

Most of the time, as long as the hire is above a certain skill level, the bottleneck is absolutely the communication bandwidth between you and them. If they don't completely understand things or you don't understand them, the number of round trips increases. Add to a general sheepishness when presented with American English and slang, as well as certain cultural tendencies, and you encounter a lot of hires who will say yes (especially from India and Vietnam) when they don't understand. This is a big problem.

I've also seen the efficient market at work, but on a level up from the programmers themselves. In a lot of cases, programmers from developing countries are hired out by agencies who will charge a lot closer to market while paying them less. This might cause a lot of the disparities in the data looked at by the author, and in any data where salaries are compared directly.
What a sick world. If I saw that happening, I'd probably be in jail for manslaughter.

After switching to Dvorak many years ago, I picked up the habits for a lot of shell commands to shift my right over two keys, so that my ring finger could hit the hyphen. `ls -l` is much more comfortable to type with middle-ring-middle than pinky-ring-pinky. I'm sure I've picked up other subtle shifts like that as well, and switching to a split layout keyboard also showed me just how much my hands crossed over for F, Y, and X.
Opinion: Open-source should stay away from all kinds of politics
Am I wrong in thinking that this example specifically does not protect against the threat posed immediately preceding it? As in, one is running a script that foolishly imports a nefarious package that uploads tasty environmental variables to an evil server, which it can do when network access is not controlled. Well, what if myWebserver.ts imports that package? A more fine-grained approach that limited network access by source file might be valuable.
> the palm rejection algoritm is not good enough

Ugh, this is my main complaint about the last edition MacBook Pro - worse than the butterfly keyboard (which I had to replace twice but which currently works.)

It's baffling because palm rejection worked flawlessly for me on the smaller trackpad on the 2012 MacBook Pro as well as the entire screen of the 11" iPad pro.

No, not at all. The HUD is positioned so that you're watching the near-field road ahead. The hologram is projected so that it appears maybe 30' ahead of you, on the road. The HUD also has minimal information. If nav is off the HUD shows you your current speed and the speed limit only. If nav is on, the HUD gives you a simple map display showing your next turn, and that only appears as you approach. It's a really excellent system. Not at all invasive or distracting, and MUCH better focus- and attention-wise when using navigation vs, say, staring at a smartphone or console display.

Yeah, a very US specific thing.

I live in an international home in the US, and every person except the Americans use Whatsapp. The American compromise is usually Messenger or getting eventually strong armed into using Whatsapp too.
You don't need a dongle to use regular old USB-A devices with a USB-C computer. All you need to do is replace the cable which is usually like $5. So if your MIDI keyboard or audio interface has a USB-B connector on the hardware side (like the Scarlett do), just buy a USB-B to USB-C cable. I don't know why the myth of needing a USB-C-to-A dongle has persisted for so long.

Facebook Messenger (and similar) can be spammed through UI interaction automation (on Android) or even manually with cheap labor in third-world countries.

iMessage is more resistant to this attack because the device is your credentials to the network (instead of an account) which makes such an attack very expensive if you need to replace banned iPhones every day.

I’ve actually seen spam on iMessage (a friend’s Apple account was compromised and she started seeing the spam messages sent by someone else thanks to iMessages’s iCloud sync) but I’m not too concerned because I assume the offending devices will be banned relatively quickly.

I'll try to maintain my cousins' anonymity while stating this: both of them are literally the best in the world at their passion (think Olympic athlete, math Olympiad, Rhodes Scholar, etc.) What's their secret?

The book Blockchain Revolution covers this well. It postulates a decentralized autonomous organization (a bot, basically) that controls its money and can trade with other bots via smart contracts in cryptocurrency and self improve via machine learning.

I think these are actually stronger arguments, because I can think of at least three very least significant material-science advantages that birds have even over modern technology that would, from a physics point of view, let me entertain the idea that a 19th century physicist could believe you'd at least need to be made of flesh to fly. I can't think of any comparable case for intelligence being restricted to biology.
