Unfortunately not everyone has the support group to help them navigate through this. Or the personality to rely on a support group.

When you're in a situation like cancer you're extremely vulnerable. You think to yourself what's the point of me keeping this money if I'm just going to die so vulture companies decide to use this vulnerable state to destroy you.

As a society we should stop turning a blind eye towards this. Yes they're an adult and should know better, but maybe that view isn't always correct? Maybe sometimes adults can't consent to stuff properly because of the situation they're in.
> So what you’re saying is because developers can’t control what they build they need to be stuck with services that limit what they can do so they don’t end up with big bills.

No, I'm pointing you the fact that developers are able to do exactly what they want with less work and far cheaper by simply moving away from AWS and picking pretty much any vendor. Why do you have a hard time understanding what others are telling you and understand anything that points that AWS is not the best solution for all usecases, specially those they were not designed for?
Blockchain I'd say definitely is one, but came or became obvious after the quote.

So I think there are still another two.

(Not sure about PageRank, it might be one of the two)
Potentially. However, I believe the inductive step is correct. I could be wrong though.

ie. If you assume S(2) is true, lets prove S(3), consider a set of 3 people, {a, b, c}.

apply S(2) to {a, b} are therefore the same age, apply S(2)_ to {b, c} are therefore the same age, this implies a.age == b.age == c.age, there for S(3) is true. The inductive step is done.

Thats what I thought made this a mind bender.
It interpreted “Neowise” as a reference to the one that was discovered in 2014. To get the right one, “Comet C/2020 F3 Berlin, 4am”
I have a family member with a mental illness and they think they can talk to animals through telepathy. I was worried it was a sign of schizophrenia and tried to convince them that they needed help. Unfortunately when you google "animal telepathy" or any other query to get information on telepathic communication with animals, the top results are all absolute batshit crazy sites that confirm people can do that. Now I see how someone can start to believe all kinds of crazy things. Since Google probably optimizes for some type of engagement under the hood, all sorts of alternative medicine and crazy ideas end up as top results. I really think the whole "let's make all information/speech available with no filters except for sex because clearly sex is evil" approach from SV companies is causing huge harm. Most people don't grow up thinking they need to read several scientific, peer reviewed, reproducible papers to believe new ideas.
That was a great intro to a lot of nuances I suspected existed!

My only quibble is equating GAI with human-modeled AI in your last paragraph.

I expect the first successful GAI's won't be modeled on human AI, due to the advantages of creating new algorithms without the limitations of evolution, and due to the complexity of our evolved brain as you well explained.

But in any case, GAI is likely to be achievable many different ways.

Even in biology, I wonder if the independently evolved octopus nervous system, bracketed into a short life time, mentorless childhood, and much higher levels of decentralization, and higher sensory and motor complexity, might be more scalable than our brain if it were artificially implemented.

The octopus ability to pull color information out of grayscale sensory information is just one of many ways their short lived minds exceed us in interesting ways.

> Is it really that easy to write a dirty script with rust?

Eventually.

I struggle, a lot, for the first 3 months of Rust. Not each minute doing rust. I code in 2-3 other langs, but the slow was pretty obvious.

I think have worked in so many other langs (+12) actually hurt me most. I try to start with rust like all the rest: Go ahead coding, figure stuff along.

I stop doing like a idiot when I start looking at it as my FIRST lang ever: read a book, be slowly, PAY attention to what are the concepts "owned", "move", etc..

Also:

I try to learn with building a relational lang, and develop the routine to build very small rust projects of a single file. I have done dozens now, and I start to click to me, and can do a lot of stuff far faster and near python-speed (when simple and normal).

I have no experience with the stores in your area or what they do or don't do. I was commenting on the bagging policy.

Do you have any on-topic arguments for why the bagging policy is unreasonable?
He won the election by winning the electoral college. You know, I know, everybody knows that.

There is no need to explain where an "enormous hidden body" of votes came from because it didn't. There is no need to explain why the polls were wrong, because they were as accurate as they normally are. There is no need to explain why elites were wrong about what the people thought because they weren't. And there's no reason to argue about whether the election was rigged, because Trump said it was.
> unicode does come with a lot of complexity in implementation

As far as I know, ASCII is a proper subset of UTF-8. That makes implementation quite natural in most cases (e.g. string replacement).

EDIT:

Looks like Lucian built this site in PHP, which easily handles UTF-8, as well as most DBs.
Yeh, that makes more sense.
Never thought of that. But OP maybe liked tinkering with k3s and kilo. But I believe kilo's best use is for cluster to cluster connection. This use case is a bit artificial in my opinion.
Yeah it's not great unfortunately. It ends up being that I have two sides of this code--one side is this subset that I've wondered about writing analysers for and checking the syntax just for this custom "dialect" almost. The other side is the impls of the APIs that side uses.

In general though I wonder how much the new 'concepts' stuff can help.

But yeah this is the closest I've come to having a UI DSL in a language with deterministic resource management and access to direct byte data layout for your structures. The main other alternative seems to be Rust and IME I've had a harder time with its error messages but I think it's also bc. I happen to have experience with 'old' C++. If I was starting fresh it'd be different.
I think it's along the lines of, don't make people come to you (your way of thinking) rather be empathetic and see things from their point of view. Start with understanding where they are today if you want to truly help them, but maybe we are the one who needs help instead? Too?
99% of the time when I use stash, it’s ”stash” or ”stash pop”, usually with ten seconds or so between the two. It’s very easy to remember.

Your alternative, on the other hand, uses an obscure flag to cherry-pick. What scenario would you use that flag for, except this particular one? How is remembering that flag any simpler?

Also, I don’t think your sequence of commands is correct. First, ”git branch” doesn’t switch to the newly created branch, so ”WIP” would be committed on your original branch. Second, the argument to cherry-pick should be a reference to the commit rather than the commit message. I believe a correct version would be:

git switch -c my_stash
git commit -am WIP
git switch -
git pull
git cherry-pick -n my_stash
git branch -D my_stash
"I think people like to see the poor helped unconditionally..."

I am unemployed for 6 months now, and I watch YouTube from time to time, and search for all kinds of things. From a human viewer perspective, the ads were more related to my YouTube watching behaviour than my browsing history. I use DuckDuckGo but let Google Analytics see me.

Recently I decide to start doing video essays. I searched for a ton of medieval history stuff and watched a ton of related clips. I notice that YouTube began to show ads of at least 2 "I get rich from millions in debt" self-help workshops/courses to me, which I've never shown any interest in.

I have watched audio equipment review videos as well, and that's the only possible connection I can establish between the ads and my online behaviour. Are a lot of unemployed people seeking to enter audio/video making? Or are the snake oil ads showing on many people's screens because of the dire economic situation many of us are in?

I just signed up for your hackernews pod. Here is some feedback, if you want it:

1. Why is there a minimum commitment to post? It makes it more difficult to overcome the inertia required to sign up in the first place.

2. Why do I need to write an intro before I can see any content? Without seeing any content, I don't know if it's worth spending any time writing up an intro. This really rubbed me the wrong way. I haven't written an intro yet, although I will probably half-ass one just to get a look at what kind of discussions are taking place.

The form factor looks interesting. Is this device easy to use? Is it compatible with Arduino? (I guess no, but it would be a good idea.) Does it has any sensors/buttons?

We bought our daughter an Arduino kit when she was young, and she played with it for a while. It has a few sensors, like a photo resistor for light, buttons to press and IIRC a temperature sensor.

We bough in the local store a 7-segment display and other small stuff that was not included. She made a few small projects, for example sensing the illumination and showing the number in 7-segment display.
I can vouch for that.
Jokes aside, I'd hope we know a ledger is not a spreadsheet :)

Depends on what you’re doing. It can be, especially if there’s a library to give you a hand.

It really depends on your attitude toward type errors. I find rust great for exploration because when I change something, the compiler tells me how to fix everything up.

I also have a lot of bias here, of course.
I don't know why you're getting down voted. Thoreau was a world class slacker and leach. A friend of mine did a paper on him back in college. If you read through his correspondence with R.W. Emmerson it's obvious how he was coddled.

EDIT: I think the hyper judgemental part about people liking him wanting to be like him. That part might be disingenuous, if only because he didn't really espouse his own actual lifestyle in his writing.
Unfortunately this is not correct. It isn’t legally theft (though morally it surely isn’t the right thing to do). Theft implies someone was “manifesting the desire to exclude others” and someone else took it anyways. Once you hand over your luggage, you have a contract with the airline whereby you’ve waived many of your rights and limited the few that remain. Once the luggage goes missing, you are entitled only to those limited rights under your contract with the airline. The newly found luggage can be sold as unowned goods.

There’s centuries of common law that back this up. It sucks, yes.
Wouldn't it be nice if facebook took proper responsibility for what they publish in exchange for money.

When snake-oil damages someone when it was advertised by facebook, facebook, who took the money to diseminate the harm are liable for that.

The other thing worth noting is that the hugely successful internet advertising campaigns, eg Tesla, who have a brand now comparable to Mercedes, paid facebook, google et al. precisely $0 to achieve that. Unless you are selling snake-oil, it would seem internet advertising is something to avoid.

I think if everyone had to take direct responsibility for the advertising they publish, quality newspapers would be more profitable and facebook & google very, very much less dominant. Would it make the world a nicer, kinder place? Dunno. I say it's worth running the experiment.
Comparing Corporation to Sci-Fi super AI's is missing the point I think. I don't think the author literally believe corporations are AGIs, he starts with the point that corporations are "old, slow AIs". The article starts from a single argument - we have to be careful with AIs that are smarter than us, because if we don't instruct them carefully, we will end up in a paperclip maximizer situation. From there I take away 2 main points:

1. We do a shit job today of controlling "old, slow" paperclip maximizers, so there's no confidence we will ever be any better controlling an AI, despite any good intentions.

2. Our wild exotic ideas about paperclip maximizers probably won't come to fruition and instead we will end up in a boring dystopia where AIs will maximize time spent playing Farmville on Facebook.

Again, the problem isn’t jargon as a concept but that a few specific terms have negative connotations. “Slave” has baggage which “bus” does not. There isn’t a call to rename the mouse because the name isn’t inextricably linked to a horrible part of history.

As for the cost of switching, one nice benefit to using more accurate terms is that they’re already familiar - if you swap “slave” for “worker” or “replica”, nobody is going to need extensive retraining to adjust.
Even if modern car failures are independent, forcing car companies to give the consumer an out after many consecutive failures of a component is not necessarily a bad thing.

It would basically turn in to a Pigovian n^3 tax on reliability.

But I suspect that you're overstating; a drive unit may well be truly independent, but something like water leaking in to the cabin wouldn't be.

Even if 80% of components have independent failure modes, the remaining 20% will account for the vast majority of your lemon law invocations.
If you run fancy enough network gear, you can run several SSIDs on different vlans and route them separately.
Choking regulation, presumably. Another example: I just ordered a medical cannabis cartridge from a dispensary. It's about the size of a pen cap, but has more packaging than my iPhone and the childproofing is so difficult that I resort to stabbing the box with a knife; it's borderline adult proof. There is so much waste and excess in packaging, and I think the highly regulated cannabis industry in the U.S. is the worst offender these days.
I'd never expect to find these in official products from trusted brands, but off-brand crap? Oh yeah. DIY kits? Absolutely. The parts drawer at the makerspace? One hundred percent.

So much stuff on eBay is free shipping, that's huge when you only need a few dollars worth of stuff. If I could convince Digi-Key to lick a 55-cent stamp when I need ten of something, instead of charging me $7 for shipping, I'd have a lot fewer counterfeit parts around.
I think the main questions we try to answer with a theory of everything is about gravity. How does gravity work at quantum level? Is it possible to convert other fundamental forces into gravity?
This seems like a particularly egregious aspect of a larger problem; that we allow medical advertising at all. From what I understand some of European countries don't allow advertising for legitimate medicines, let alone snakeoil. That makes a lot of sense to me; the ads for legitimate medicines all seem emotionally manipulative; designed to make people pressure their doctors into writing subscriptions they might not actually need. If facebook adopted a strict "no medicine" policy, they wouldn't have to sort the wheat from the chaff.
What result do you think google should return for "animal telepathy"? I think there just isn't any reason for "animaltelepathyisimpossible.com" to exist, and so there is nothing for google to find.
Press accounts of the day speak about only one protester dead and 4 policemen wounded. See for example BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/170367.stm. It's almost sure that all of them were hit by ricocheted bullets or bullets falling from the sky. So most likely the body that he speaks about was one of the wounded policemen. The policemen most probably had just been wounded and was rescued soon after the diplomat saw him. There are no known cases of wounded or dead bodies lying on Albanian streets for long periods of time at any time in the history of the country.
Xubuntu on the desktop, centos/rhel on servers.

I like my stuff to work.

I am considering dropping Ubuntu for fedora because canonical has this darn habit of ruining the desktop experience - one of the last straws for me was this snap thing that breaks a lot of stuff and slows down application startup. I'm not sure Fedora is better, I might have to go back to good old Debian.

Regarding centos/rhel: I am fairly knowledgeable about the system and certified too. It's nice to have something that I know won't change next month following the latest hype.

I stay as far as I can from rolling distros like arch: I've heard too many horror stories from friends where something trivial like a system update broke their system and they had to basically reinstall the whole system. I thought about it and it's not worthy for me.

Rust is a high enough level programming language to have a GC as a library. You can go with Rc and Arc all over the place, and have a Python-style ref-counting GC.

OTOH Go is a lower-level, less expressive language with a built-in GC memory management.

To me, the level of a language is the level of abstraction one can comfortably reach with the language, and not being close to the metal or not.

Because even if a part is marketed as compatible with a well-known part, most buyers won't add a new, allegedly compatible part to the AVL (approved vendor list) without some level of engineering review. This guards against the kinds of incompatibilities that the article notes. Depending on the buyer, that review might be "yeah, [vendor] seems legit, fine", or a complete test build and evaluation; but by marketing their part as a counterfeit instead of a second source, the vendor bypasses that hurdle entirely.
