One man's modus ponens is another man's modus tollens. Why are you so certain of that in light of all the achievements you listed, most of which were not predicted to happen even a decade ago? Did someone release a mathematical proof that large NNs can't be intelligent while I wasn't looking? Did aliens arrive and tell us that no, AGI just doesn't look anything like what we're doing? How would the world right now look any different if we were on a route towards AGI in a decade or two, keeping in mind that we are still roughly at the 'insect' level on the various connectionist extrapolations and still aspiring towards 'mouse' levels?

I've been using vim-wiki for years. I'm a satisfied user. It supports alternative syntaxes, and I use markdown. I like that I can link to a folder on my local machine, or a file, or a web page and it loads in the correct application. With thunderlink I can also link to specific emails and have them open in Thunderbird.

I also use github.com/Konfekt/FastFold to make the folding fast enough to be useful, and github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown to make vim understand the right way to fold.
Can't get an email, tried 2.

excuse me, but dangerous for who exactly? You mean your future returns on investments will be lower on your rental property? How exactly is that dangerous? Is someone's life in danger? If anything, lower rents allow more people to afford housing, making it less dangerous.

Let me guess, you have huge problem with the homeless situation, but are unwilling to consider lowering rents? Is that right?

Globalisation has many problems but _causes_ racism?

I would argue it's demagogues who take advantage of societal breakdown to inflame inherent racism.

More generally we also have a choice regardless of circumstances to not be racist. I can see how as a species we're not there yet though.

Not OP, but I’ll give it a go:

Conway's law is an adage stating that organizations design systems that mirror their own communication structure.

In a sense, your own self is an organisation whereby we communicate with ourselves in fearful and anxious ways, so the systems we build can only be a reflection of that fear and anxiety.
Why not arrest and interrogate the ones causing violence and find out if they’re white nationalist, antifa, or something else? It’s not like we’re forced to just spitball conspiracy theories here.
>Japan’s QE has been about four times that of the U.S. For the U.S. to do what Japan has done, the Fed would have to QUADRUPLE down and print $12 trillion in addition to the $4 trillion it has already printed.

>Try proposing that after the last round of QE finally fails.

>But even if the Fed tried to print a fraction of that, it still wouldn’t result in hyperinflation.

>Europe has printed almost twice as much as what we have, when compared to GDP, and it has very low inflation and lower growth than the U.S. That’s because our workforce and demographics are flattening, but not declining, as is the trend in Europe and Japan.

QE is deflationary.
>as envisioned by Vernor Vinge in Rainbow's End. A solid fling and a guided parachute might actually work. Major airspace sharing concerns, of course.

No need to go that high at least initially or even use parachutes. Just mount your system that lobs packages on a truck. It just drives a route and some software lobs everything where/when needed. Use a special sticker that's reflective in a particular spectrum for the truck to target and give the stickers out for free. Have the truck scan for the stickers, record gps coordinates (so you know which addresses are deliverable with your new system) and scan for obstacles so you can compute potential firing angle (too low and you're in the shrubs, too high and you're in the power lines or tree branches) as it drives around. Once you know the potential firing arcs for a supported address you can calculate what packages can be delivered without going too high/low or over/under shooting. Even if the truck has to stop to shoot it's still a labor saving improvement over traditional delivery and the sound of a low pressure pneumatic cannon isn't any louder than a truck door. You could use existing warehouse infrastructure to make sure that packages that are not of the right density (or are market in your system as too fragile)to safely toss don't wind up getting tossed.

You're basically just using software and data input to replace the judgement of the paper boy (hard) and some powered rollers and actuators to replace his arm hard (easy).

Arguably the bug isn't the rendering of code blocks, but using them to delineate quotes.
Here's the thing about Windows: having to keep around an old version of the OS and run it in a VM is the exception. Often software that is 20 years old will not require this.

Clang 11 is still in early development stages. Release date is several months away. Clang 10 was released just a couple of months ago. 11 is expected to be buggy and not fit for use yet.

The SQLite devs now have to deal with "is it or isn't it a compiler bug" nonsense, taking their time away from fixing actual problems, working on features etc, from OSSFuzz deciding to use a compiler that the compiler devs themselves don't think is fit for use.

How much trust can you have that even fuzz results exposed are actually legitimate either? False positives, or worse still false negatives?
My wife discovered the same thing. You either want to manage section 8 housing or you want higher-income housing. Once you know the system and the case workers it's easy to deal with bad section 8 tenants. It takes a while to learn the ropes, though. The higher-end tenants are generally easy to work with as you mention. The problem now is that's where all the property managers are wanting to go!
The following is my understanding, but I could be wrong:

When neurons activate, they release a neurotransmitter (typically glutamate) that then binds to nearby astrocytes. Astrocytes then increase their intracellular calcium levels which in turn causes vascular dilation of the nearby area, thus increasing blood flow to that area.
HN is usually pretty good at detecting insecure implementations and obvious attempts at subversion.

The twist here is that the astronaut was honoring a good friend of mine after he'd died.

My buddy Vic trained the astronauts on medical matters and first aid. He showed my how you can't do CPR in space the normal way, because you'll just push yourself across the room, so there's special stuff like this that they need to be trained in.

He gave me the real back-stage tour in Houston, which was incredibly cool. One nifty thing he showed my was how they simulate the communications delay in training. It's remarkably easy and obvious: they just use Tivos.
Good! You should be slow. Slow and deliberate. Break stuff (not in production!) and watch how it breaks. Learn from your mistakes. Right now you're laying the foundation of your confidence as a developer. That confidence is built upon your failures and your successes. Have fun newbie!
Disclaimer: I have an interest in neurosciece but not expertise on fMRI. I also haven't had time to read the article closely (yet). I'm sure others are better equipped to answer the question, so please jump in.

Anyway, here's my impression at a high level: neurons need energy to spike, and increased brain activity in a particular brain region ought to translate to higher metabolic activity, and ultimately to higher blood flow (to deliver e.g. oxygen). However, what one can infer about neural activity from e.g. blood oxygen level is still a matter of debate, precisely because (again as you suggested) the relevant mechanisms are complicated and AFAIK not completely understood. Other factors besides metabolism may also come into play.

I suppose this article is a reasonable start:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood-oxygen-level-dependent_imaging

Despite these reservations fMRI remains popular, at least in part because it is non-invasive and is one of the few tools we have for studying humans.

I don't know about evil, but it's hostile because Apple is intentionally preventing a non-AppleOS version from existing. The details of how they do it are of merely scientific interest.
I never invalidated someone's feelings. I merely stated that the logic they are using to validate their own feelings is flawed. It's very possible to change the frame of your mind through the language you use. If you remove the negative thoughts of "bothing" someone when they are merely trying to make ends meet, your feelings might change. In fact, by not bothering them, you may be giving their boss fuel for them to NOT have a job.
> if tripling their money supply did t lead to hyperinflation what will

If you read your own linked paper, you will see that this is not what occurred - monetary base was substantially increased, sure, but that is not synonymous with money supply and there was no corresponding increase in M2.

To your second link, which is not from a reputable source, your CATO paper directly contradicts claims of "huge" QE. It was actually smaller than the prior effort:

> Throughout his tenure, Shirakawa was a reluctant expansionist, frequently making speeches to the effect that QE alone would never succeed in reviving the Japanese economy. Originally, he had intended that the QE program would be completed by the end of 2011, but with the CPI still falling in November and December 2011, operations were extended through 2012 and 2013. Compared to QE1 in 2001–06, Shirakawa’s QE2 was a much weaker program

Here, again, is the paper you linked saying that QE policies combat deflation:

> For better or worse, the Federal Reserve did not counteract the downturn in money growth in 1931–33, either with security purchases or money creation, and thereby exacerbated the depth of the recession, the level of unemployment, and duration of the deflation.

Just because the paper "mentions deflation" doesn't mean that QE "causes" deflation - and the paper is pretty clear that this is not the case. Japan's QE was ineffective, sure, (for a variety of reasons) but in the absence of QE the deflation would have been worse.

Also, I will note that right wing sources are exactly who I would not expect to agree with me. They are hawkish on QE.
I wonder if the current behavior can change if majority of companies start allowing remote work for a wide area of job families. I think we are already starting to see this in Bay Area with the introduction of remote work in leading tech companies.

> Less talking and more building, please.

For GM and Ford, building the vehicle is the easy part. At this point, they all know how to build an electric vehicle.

They definitely need to do a lot more talking. They need to normalize the idea. They need the buyers to believe that it's better. These are commercial vehicles, they need to have a lower cost of operation. And buyers have to believe it. So keep talking (and also build them).

Think of it this way; there is less information in a blurred image (less colour, less lines, less areas). You can not* conjure information out of thin air thus making the unblurred image.

The short of it is that in the end, I stepped down from my horse and conceded that it was more sensible just to make peace with QWERTY and get good at QWERTY'ing. This won't be the case for everyone, I'm just trying to shed light on my experience as "the keyboard guy". Colemak worked for me. The ubiquity of QWERTY worked against me. In the end I capitulated because going against the grain wasn't worth it for me all things considered.
In addition to green usernames, a pretty common tell is the "Latin"(-ish) username. The white supremacist segment of the population loves it some Rome.

It is by no means indicative, but over time, if you pay attention, you end up with a bunch of heuristics that can help you identify good-faith arguments versus malicious ones.
I went and looked at your work and I don't think you're necessarily selling the need for people to use "Pro" gear very well. I'm not trying to be harsh here cause you're just doing the same thing as so many photographers. There's no barrier at all to being a "Pro" these days, you just buy a camera and make a website/social accounts and hang your shingle out. It's basically a gig/freelance occupation at this point.

You need pro gear for the types of shots you sell because there is an expectation you have the gear to "appear Pro" as opposed to a real need for this style of photo. Same thing with the idea that you need to take thousands of shots and cull them down with hours spent on the computer.

If your reputation & people skills & marketing are strong enough this style of photo business can be done with a smartphone and with 10s or hundreds of shots per job as opposed to thousands and the business can be successful & more profitable.

There's near 0 barrier to launching this style of photo business these days. If you have nothing else to show your serious you can show the customers that you put a lot of money into gear.

I bet not that many of your sold photos are getting printed huge.. it's the standard work so many families buy and they put it in an album or throw some 8x10s up on the wall until they get bored.
Agreed, i also have a yearly reminder to move all e-mails older than X months to my local computer (of which i make backups.)
I've been wondering how far away Tesla is from a commercial van. The CyberTruck gets a lot of attention and it's been noted that it makes no sense outside of North America.

Except, vehicles with those dimensions and cargo capacity are very widely used outside of NA, they're just covered and called vans. I don't think the CyberTruck could be converted to a van (the glass seems too sloped and the first row too far back), but it seems that when they complete the truck a van program could borrow very heavily.

Imagine they keep the battery capacity, stainless steel exoskeleton design, hauling and carrying capacity, but have a design that has the glass much more vertical, one row closer to the front and a very tall, boxy back. It would sell very well.
I would like to see an estimate in how much a person paid in the black market to buy access to the botnets that did this. $5? $50? $100? What is the going rate for 110k requests per seconds?

Influence: A Summary
I love it too, but let's be honest, the devil is in the details, I think most people agonize because they dont really know if their problem can or cannot be solved with more action from them. I for sure accept the things I really know I cannot change, and work in those I clearly know are under my control. The anxiety comes from those things I am lost in the sense I dont know if I should push more or I should give up.
By definition a pandemic is not eradicated if it is still rampant.

Without a vaccine, Germany, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and anyone else are still at the same risk they were five months ago.
Is that news to anyone?
Again, as someone else up thread pointed out, you’re just comparing various notches on the “bad response” scale. Your calculus doesn’t work if you compare Sweden to Taiwan or the US to South Korea, even with adjustments to population.

If your argument is that “it doesn’t make that much of a difference choosing between doing nothing and pursuing a bungled, haphazard response,” then sure, a lot would probably agree with you. But these are not the only choices any of these countries had.

The economic damage is part and parcel of the overall mismanagement, which is why Taiwan and South Korea are doing better with both handling the pandemic and the state of their economies.
Your comment harks to a much broader concept. Are Computer Science programs supposed to produce software engineers or people grounded in the theory?

My own opinion is that separate tracks should exist.

Grading students more harshly without modifying the focus of their studies simply won't produce better people in the field.
Regen braking isn't yet good enough for most "stop-start" applications. It turns out that unless you make big adapations to your driving style, typical braking generates too much energy too quickly to be able to charge the batteries.

We'd need a breakthrough in battery technology, or some improved supercapacitors, or productionization of flywheels, to be able to take advantage of that energy.
I wonder if this phenomenon has more specific name than just "radicalization". "Rule of goats"[1] comes close.

> Are you suggesting complicated version control could be useful for e.g. some group of teens doing a 6 paragraph research paper in their social studies class?

Yes, kinda. I am suggesting that revision history is a powerful tool. The concept of change control has long been a staple of science and engineering. So yeah, I see a group of teens working on a a three file project, Report.md, TODO.md, and Links.md very useful. The complicated part I could live without but using non-standard tools is not desirable either.

If there is a WebUI then it simply looks like a Wiki with file history.
I don't see how Floyd having Coronavirus changes anything. Is anyone arguing that it materially affects our understanding of the last few moments of his life?

What I'd really like to know (and the article also mentions this) is how we resolve the issue of asphyxiation in one autopsy but not the other. Presumably there are physical signs, like burst capillaries or something like that?
So you think perfection is a reasonable expectation for protestors?

I am using the qgmlwy along with a few custom layers and custom modifier keys.
Most of the improvements come from touch typing (not a custom keyboard). But a custom keyboard is still an improvement. The biggest issue for me is not the learning part (even though this took months), but the setup: whenever you want to switch os, reinstall, setting up the keyboard is a huge pain.

I have setup my layout on ubuntu with xkb and this took days of full-time work, because xkb is so convoluted. On osx, I just use a custom C script that transforms each keystroke, the code is ugly but this is easy to work with.
The question required to justify a merger instead of partnership: Why would merging make things greater than the sum of the parts? If it doesn't, partner.

I dont see any reason why a GM-Tesla merger makes any sense. But would be happy to hear some.
Unfortunately we have a 'mini-outbreak' in the greater Lisbon area right now with 90% of new cases - previously this had been masked in the overall numbers by success in the North of the country, which was hit first, and hard (something similar happened with US data, NY's better numbers hid a growing problem elsewhere).

Data for each county in Portugal is available here: https://github.com/dssg-pt/covid19pt-data/blob/master/data_c... - graphing this data shows that Lisbon and its surrounding councils have been putting on new cases at a steady rate (linear for now!), albeit low numbers in the grand scheme of things. I don't know what the Portuguese government is going to do about that, or how effective their action may be. I live nearby, so I am particularly concerned.
