Well, all members of NATO have agreed to spend at least 2% of their GDP on military defense - the idea being mutual defense spending based on your ability to spend the money.

Unfortunately, many NATO countries are currently spending far less than 2% (as you showed above)... and the US is spending far more than 2%, in part, to make up for the shortfall (ie, why we have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Europe, etc).

So people by definition want AGI because they have problems and AGI can solve them?

Lot of assumptions embedded here, making it pretty remote from tautology.

(1) People want their problems solved

(2) People are indifferent to how their problems are solved

(3) The resolution of people's problems do not conflict with one another

(4) People will have their own AGI

(5) AGI will not cause problems of its own,
etc.

Beyond that, I think the question is more an aesthetic choice of "What kind of universe do you want to live in?"
> the same goes for how difficult it's become to build native software from scratch, thanks to the shift from autotools to a whole new set of competitors like bazel, cmake, ninja, gin, etc.

What's the issue specifically? I've never had a good Autotools experience (granted, I wouldn't reach for Bazel or CMake either--the whole build tool ecosystem is in desperate need of innovation IMO and probably the nicest things are Nix or Guix).
>but we have broad evidence that the interests of funders often influence the work done.

As opposed to Government, drug company and institutional funders; they NEVER influence the work done.

Epstein was an evil asshole, and Harvard is a disgusting, sinister institution, but concentrating on rubbish like this overlooks the insane, ridiculous, overt and pervasive problems with science research funding that don't involve funding by the creepy dude who didn't kill himself, and who the media otherwise seems strangely incurious about.

> How does the proposed US ban on transactions with TikTok violate users’ rights? Isn’t the application free?

I think Trump is threatening to eliminate the app from the app store. Anyway, the app can't really function with a transaction ban, because it generates revenue from advertisements.

> Also, there are many teenagers who are employed by the US government who are entrusted with state secrets

Members of the military, some federal employees, and the children of some federal employees (e.g. the children of diplomats, for instance) should be banned from using TikTok, out of an over-abundance of caution. My understanding is that this was already the policy (or at least, parts of it were) before Trump decided to destroy TikTok.

Hard to see that you are making a genuine argument here. I mean, the fact that some teenagers are soldiers (for instance) does not begin to justify a blanket ban on the product.

Not so fast. While he probably did want you to think of McGonagall (who's infamous for his bad poetry), Adams wrote, "The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England in the destruction of the planet Earth." This was changed from Paul Neil Milne Johnstone of Redbridge, who complained about the use of his name and address. Paul Johnstone was a classmate of Adams and apparently did write poetry.

> As temperatures rise, snowfall across the west side of Japan should decrease, Kawase reported, in a November 2013 study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. But the decrease will be much more pronounced at lower elevations, such as Toyama, where much of the city’s snow falls with temperatures near the freezing mark. A few degrees warmer here will make a big difference. Higher elevations will likely continue to have exceptionally snowy winters, at least in the short term. Still, the culture of Japan’s Snow Country may already be changing.

> “I remember when I was in high school there was a lot more snow,” says Tanikawa, who is now 50. “In the morning snow fell and it would fall all day while we were at school. When I came back home there would be 40 to 50 centimeters of snow to clear. My children,” Tanikawa adds, “have not had that experience.”

I live on the west coast of Japan at the foot of the mountains, and it's striking how much snowfall is decreasing in recent years. The last two years have been record setting due to lack of snowfall. The local municipal ski resort didn't open at all this past winter, and for the annual snow festival in February they had to truck in some snow from somewhere else.

Since temperatures here tend to hover just around freezing in the winter, a small temperature difference can mean the difference between rain or 50 cm of snow. Year-to-year differences are becoming more variable, too. Three years ago we were buried in so much snow that the city had to send in a team with heavy duty snow machines to dig us out (typically neighborhoods here are self-sufficient in terms of snow removal). We had about 2 meters piled up in our yard. But these past two years it was mostly just rain.

On the one hand, it's very convenient to not have to deal with so much snow in the winter. And the mountains nearby still receive plenty of snow for skiing and other recreation. But it does feel like a part of what makes this area special is vanishing. And I'm sad that my kids won't be able to experience it to the same degree.
This is exactly what I meant. Thanks Steve for the clear explanation!

In the next part of the article I'll hopefully explore some drawbacks of choosing generics all the way down. Either driver would've likely perform a little better if developed fully independently, but by a smaller margin that I would've expected.

This feels like a Wired article from 2003.
You commonly hear that "the book is better than the movie."

I think there are many reasons for this (one being omitting details for the sake of time), but the main reason is probably that text leaves more to the imagination.
This is not clear at all. It depends on the "result" in question. If I wrote a paper describing a super numerical algorithm for inverting matrices, and no one is able to replicate the superior performance of my algorithm despite following the recipe in my paper, then whether they can run my code or not doesn't seem to be of the highest priority.

Edit: more careful phrasing.
If Airbnb filed their S-1 last week, and these companies filed their S-1s today, then wouldn't Airbnb be further along in the process and not "much earlier"?
I think there are some interesting points here, though many (including the author) seem to forget: React is a UI library, not a framework. This means it is up to the user to decide and implement everything else, such as:

* Code splitting
* Loading of the code (at appropriate times, eg: )
* Any other optimisations

I think the author simply failed to do this well and then blamed the library for their own shortcomings, and moved on to the 'next shiny thing'.

There are plenty of patterns you can use to make your React app responsive, and many tools to help you achieve that, it's just a matter of being able to implement those tools effectively.
Snark: No, I wrote it in Python 2.7, because Python 3 was still wearing very smelly diapers in 2010. Ask me in another 10 years and I'll tell you the same, because Python doesn't care about backwards compatibility. Hopefully I'll have moved on to a more stable language by then. Maybe fortran?

That's what I thought too until I found this guy's website: http://bigdogadventures.com/

He has a Honda CB500X and Husqvarna 701 (I don't know much about motorcycles, but I do know that's not the same as sibling comment's 50cc) and he rides all over the US on the backroads and dirt roads. It's full of local cafés, covered bridges, ghost towns, remote mountain roads, and the like. He takes photos and videos and documents the whole thing on an old-fashioned website. It really made me want to ride a motorcycle.
Well... There is fluid intelligence and crystalized intelligence.

What you're pointing out is that crystalized intelligence is what matters.

Fluid intelligence mediates the ability to gain crystalized intelligence.

Higher IQ in theory means you should get further faster. Though even without if you are dedicated enough to obtain the same level of crystalized intelligence you might be able to do so. I suspect at some point the cognitive ceilings are different, but who knows by how much.
Robots are still very much special-purpose devices, so I would call them just machines, like a dishwashing machine.

The moment they become more versatile we can call them robots. E.g. when the same machine can bake an egg, do the dishes, and vacuum the floor.

It used to be the case (when I was in High School) that 10% meant ticket to UT Austin, in fact a huge fraction of students at UT Austin were 10% students.

I found this policy excellent, it meant I had a bunch of colleagues from really small towns with no resources and this was clearly life changing for those attending college.

It felt like everything college is supposed to be (even if imperfect).

Have you worked in vehicle embedded systems or are you just pulling requirements (or lack thereof) out of your hat?

I'm not an expert, but I would guess that they do require deterministic behaviour, which, AFAIK, Linux doesn't offer. What happens if for some weird reason the scheduler starves the critical process for 40 ms in some uncommon situation that only happens 0.00001% of the time? How can you prove that such a thing won't ever happen?
Ohh, okay, I see.

You're right, you can't define aliases/functions using direnv. That's a shame, that does seem useful.
Those programs were one example. There are other paths, like trade schools, journeyman programs, etc. I'm not missing the point, I talked to some of them. They mostly just didn't know what else to do.

Basically all of it to confirm the notion (in the comment I replied to) that there is talent to be scooped up. Don't let a military recruiter be the only person that offers them something.
What are your performance requirements? I've found Snowflake to be fast enough for most workloads, but if you're talking in the sub-500ms range, then MemSQL's in-memory capabilities will help. Though I must warn you that the system is a pain to manage and their managed service is unproven.
Ask HN: Switching career path at 36. What is the right way
I am a software developer of 36 years. I have been a java/PL_SQL dev for most of my career and been working on Angular for the past couple of years. However I don't see my career going forward and I am not interested in learning Spring Boot or any additional Java Skills as I am afraid it is not going to help in long run. Also Angular is also becoming irrelevant thanks to Vue/React etc. So I am thinking of switching role and transitioning into a Data Scientist or AI/ML engineer. I can put in the hours to study and do self projects, but I am worried if I am too old for a transition now, given that I am already 15 years old in the industry. Should I stick with what I know already and improve on it or can I transition into a Data Scientist role? Thoughts?
We're using CloudWatch, Stackdriver and SumoLogic.
SumoLogic is by far the best.
It still has some room for improvement. But if you're stuck with could providers log aggregators - it's miserable.
Having run a medium size Spark cluster, I'm not sure I agree.

If you have 80-100% utilization for a month, perhaps, but the beauty of Snowflake is that you can spin up a 3XL warehouse for a few MINUTES to get answers fast, and then shut it down again and don't pay anything.

Saying "you could run it on self-managed Spark/Oracle/Hive/SQLite" is approximately the same argument as saying "I can run a web server cheaper myself than paying Amazon for an EC2 instance" -- there are cases where that is true, but there are many, many, cases where the "on demand capacity" is the bigger benefit.

That would certainly solve most of the problem. Easier said than done, though.
To throw in one more data point: several years ago I wrote a simulator for a paper, it involves tracking large numbers of particles bouncing through a 2D space with different geometries. There's a front end, in PLT Scheme, and a backend in C. I'm pretty sure that today

- the C code would still compile and run

- the Scheme code would not without some effort, because PLT Scheme 372 is no longer supported, Racket made a number of breaking changes, so one would either have to rewrite the Scheme code for Racket or rewrite it for another Scheme implementation.
Is this the story you're referring to?

this is where miracle of enterprise sales happen - the $5 subscription can be sold as a $50K+ deal by smooth enterprise sales who will provide the C-exec with the experience making him feel like he did something smart and great for the company.
$5 per month for when you pull so many images it's basically abuse is user hostile?

No developer starting out is going to hit 200 images in 6 hours, and even if the did, they would go "heh" and then either take a break or pony up the 5$.

5$! It's way too little money for those limits, there should be brackets all the way up to 5000$ per month. Same for Rubygems and NPM. It's ridiculous that those are struggling organizations that can barely afford to have professionals work on them, when they're absolutely essential to whole industries.

I wish they would force us to pay them.

Ooof I'm on asana for the first time after using jira for 10+ years. I hate it. Asana is a generic workflow tool where jira leans towards software development. This means that every part of your process you need to create in asana then explain to your team this is the one true way to use asana.

Example Epics. A way to roll pieces of a project into a larger ticket describing that project. There's no concept in asana. So you have to hack it by doing sub tasks and manually adding the project to each subtask so it shows up on the board.
I’m astonished by all the sibling comments to the affect of “takes a lot of R&D to scale.” Spending to scale some things, like fb, makes sense because the value of the participant network is higher than the cost to scale. What value is created by scaling a todo app past the group of teams level?
I didn't believe that was an actual quote from the article until I read it. It sounds like a joke and I can't imagine anyone reasonable would say that.

There are definitely good reasons to build your own framework but performant and stable applications isn't one of them. Usually it's a solution looking for a problem.
There's a comment below about Da Vinci, but I'd say that the problem claimed in this article has been around since Archimedes yelled "Eureka" in his bath. The way science has tried to protect itself has always been when research is published, not when it was funded. But it's also a mistake to think that funders have that much influence on research. Scientists usually study what they want and there's been thousands of years of attempts to develop systems to try force them to study what they're paid for that are still not completely effective.

Where did Epstein get his unfortunate ideas? From other scientists! Young researchers very early learn that their main task is the same as start up founders - to inspire people they talk with about their research in order take their money (or recruit them to the lab). I think that truth and societal value are often easiest to convey but obviously not always.

My city had a school choice program. Your local school was required to accept you, but out of dustrict schools were free to impose additional restrictions. Most used a lottery, but a few (at least 1 I waa considering) would look at at an applicants grade and test scores and make an admission decision based on that.
Agree. People's response to all this is so strange. It seems clear to me that this guy was legitimately interested in supporting science, and was a sexual predator. For some reason people really can't handle the idea of him being both things simultaneously. The world is actually just complicated sometimes.

There is a long history of great scientific advancements being made by otherwise unsavory people. Werner Von Braun, Ronald Fisher, Francis Galton, just off the top of my head. By all accounts these people legitimately loved science and reason and also held otherwise abhorrent views, and in some cases took abhorrent actions. This is just an ambiguity we have to live with.

I really like Wait Buy Why's take on "How to Pick a Life Partner":

- https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/02/pick-life-partner.html

- https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/02/pick-life-partner-part-2.html

And the follow-up of sorts, "The Marriage Decision: Everything Forever or Nothing Ever Again"

- https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/09/marriage-decision.html

I think it takes a super pragmatic (maybe to the point of being un-romantic) approach to dating and finding a partner, including many "litmus tests" of sorts. I know at least one person who has written a "relationship design document" (classic PM move) outlining what matters to them in a relationship, citing sources like this as well as lived experience.

I also enjoyed reading Esther Perel's "Mating in Captivity": https://amzn.to/3lho4gP, which discusses the tension between eroticism and stability (what it takes to get into a relationship vs what it takes to stay in a relationship).

I do agree with the premise that "humans are flawed and you'll be accepting that both you and your partner are human" as well as "you will need to invest in your relationship to make it work".

I manage at a lower level, a team of developers. I’m a big fan of stating a clear goal and letting the developer/team decide how to tackle. I may have suggestions, I may veto proposed solutions if I have legitimate problems with it, but ultimately I want them to be the drivers. In my experience they take ownership, are more motivated, and it helps them grow. They’re more likely to solve little problems on their own and only involve me as needed.
