Frequently Asked Questions Before Uploading Your Mind to a Computer
New Zealand is not a small island. It's bigger than the UK.
No idea. But of course while one can never be too paranoid when speculating about such things, the reality of what's already known about what the Western powers did in the Congo seems hard to exceed in a way that would demand censorship.
If you are remotely interested in strategy games check out Crusader Kings III
It's phenomenal (I mean CK II was phenomenal and CKIII just updates it). Truly a unique experience.

I cannot stand any games that have NPC interactions with the only exception of CK. It's the closest you can get now to experiencing what it is to read and write a historical fiction at the same time (speaking from experience).
I've been kinda fantasizing about operationalizing a simultaneous worldwide lockdown where some international agency can push a button and have the entire world hunker down for just a couple of weeks or even just one. How much easier would that be than this dragged out, partially effective partial lockdown. It would be so much cheaper, and could be used repeatedly even for non-COVID diseases maybe even to flush out cold/flu epidemics.
I particularly like the "What does processed data look like" and they just have a picture of some random hexadecimal digits which is accurate I guess, but that's what all data looks like if expressed in hex.
Depends what your metrics are, but very likely no. Even if you could prove it was a "good trade off", good luck convincing anyone. In America we're seeing how stubborn people are to take any actual steps against a deadly virus, they would absolutely scoff at any intrusive measure meant to prevent the flu.
Oh man I am so glad for us we get to live in the timeline where they managed not to mess up Crusader Kings III
"Coffin ships" that carried the Irish fleeing the potato famine to America were notorious for their death rate and generally bad conditions. Of course, this was an already weakened population of passengers.
I don’t think so. People are very good at adapting once confronted with a situation.
> If Facebook completely loses their young demographic network effects it would be very difficult for them to regain them.

Facebook has had incredible success at mimicking other companies’ features, and when that fails purchasing major competitors. Discord is still niche, and I suspect their marketing and image will make it hard to break out of ‘gamer’ culture.
Normally supervised learning is much, much more effective.

You're assuming that the reward function is giving you the community you want. In reality the reward function is to maximize engagement, which is a proxy for ad revenue. When there's an asymmetry in engagement dynamics then the whole thing drifts. The mass fallacy here is that FB is trying to build communities.
> TikTok removed those 9 minutes, so it feels very refreshing in that respect. There's no incentive to create filler - just the opposite.

It's to a point that I skip any TikTok video that starts like “I was in the forest and found this mushroom. Did you know that this kind of mushroom can be used to... ”. I skip it as soon as I hear “I was in the“ (that and the usual tone that comes with it).

I don't care. Show me directly what you are doing with the mushroom.

Diplomacy isn't about sucking up to your rivals, it's about making invasion too expensive for them. A big military is a diplomatic asset. Nobody wants to pick a fight with the guy who is going to kick their butt. A tech lead is another diplomatic asset, although one the Civ AI is kind of bad at recognizing. Swarms of pikemen against artillery and machine guns is not a good strategy. Having a lot of friends can also help, but in a fight they usually won't stick their neck out to help you, even if they're always begging for you to go to war against their enemies.

Downside of Civ V is that the AI is just not up to the task of waging war. It's pretty typical that they'll have 4-5x as much army when they declare war and you'll still wipe them out without a single loss. Between the fairly tanky cities, easily abusable terrain, and general AI incompetence there is a lot you can do to bleed an enemy dry over the course of a few turns.

But of course after you've killed one Civ, even the one everybody hated, they'll call you a Warmonger and constantly denounce you. At least your city states will still love you, especially if you've gone for Freedom.
The funny layouts were also driven by copy protection methods. The methods took advantage of physical properties of the disk and read circuit that the processor couldn't see but a duplication system could.

The work by 4am and others was driven by the desire to preserve these works without needing to break the physical copy protection to do it.
We might be nit-picking definitions, but I don't think that's a fair characterization. From the perspective of the user programming with async, when you gather the results of two coroutines you don't care at all the order used for each stack frame. The mental model is one of concurrent operations which might suspend at yield points.
Wow, that was a great review, thanks! I agree with most points.

There are definitely improvements to be made. This is the first version, I wanted to get it out and start getting feedback sooner. This is my take on each point:

For some reason Dynamodb was not sorting the partition with KSUIDs string, so I added the LSI. This is probably something I did wrong and is just matter of fixing the query or the insert and move back to using the PK.

Adding more than one balanced transaction per request is on the roadmap, but this will be limited to the DynamoDB transactions API limit of 25 items as you mentioned (25 / 2*2 WCU per tx = 6 transactions per request).

Each entry only uses 4 items in the worst case (seeding a new currency in an account). In most cases (existing balances/currencies), there will be only 2 new items.

I think even more improvements can be made. And the goal of open-sourcing is to get more heads thinking about how we can do it :)

If IFTTT was software that ran on your own hardware, I could see your argument. But they are not.
You chose a definition among many and then dismissed the submission as "confused" because it does not meet your definition.

I noted that your definition would preclude ML functions from being called functions. Your response was that ML wasn't purely functional, but that doesn't make it not functional. The pure in "pure functional" doesn't "to the exclusion of non-functional", it is simply a narrower category.

Considering that ML is one of the most impactful functional programming languages both in theory and practice, I think it's right to call that absurd and dogmatic. If you take it as a personal attack that I called your argument absurd, I don't know what to say. Maybe grow a little bit of skin?

> You on the other hand... haven't even stated your definition yet.

I don't need to provide a definition to find a flaw in yours. I did not come into this submission looking to smugly dismiss the topic at hand with my obviously irrelevant preferences for terminology. You did.
It’s a shame HN doesn’t allow enough space to include the “Have Moved or” from the actual article title.
Talking about AI, I wonder if Civilization is more complex than Go, and, in that case, if AlphaGo Zero could beat human players in Civ.
I think you mean armored rather than armed. The vehicles are armored but any heavy weaponry has been removed or made inert.
Yeah, it did. Also a Z80 card so you could run CP/M. With CP/M I could run Fortran and C on my ][+, it was a lot easier to get pirated versions of CP/M SW than original Apple Pascal or Fortran.
My family and I are in the Seattle area, we're considering moving due to work going primarily remote, cost of living (childcare is becoming a significant concern for us as we start a family, for example), and disagreement with local politics, probably in that order.
It would be nice to have a trend or at least prior year baseline of "considering moving" when attributing significance. Some of the west coast ones could have a high baseline as many always consider the possibility of making their money go further elsewhere. (Remote work going very mainstream may inspire them to pull the trigger on it.)
Absolutely yea - I guess the comment I replied to could be read as either in favor of the ban or in favor of the repeal of the ban. I read it the former manner but maybe it was intended in the latter manner.

> When I was more active on Facebook, there was a lot of left-wing direct action, and zero Fox News stuff.

I saw a good mix of both, given I have friends and family that span the political spectrum. In any case, I've suspended my account and given up on FB because it has become just too toxic. Maintaining a diverse circle of FB friends requires refraining from saying or responding to anything even remotely political and that just became too damn tedious for me. I'm off twitter as well (not that I was ever really into that one).

Social Media is a cancer and needs to DIAF.

That reminds me, I have yet another email from a FB recruiter sitting in my inbox, guess I wasn't quite rude enough the last time.

Neat. Do you use/click on tags in video description ? (I am afraid the niche I found might get replaced by another niche).
U-Haul and similar companies have real numbers on how many people are actually moving, which would be a lot more interesting. "Considering" something, is pretty easy. Telling a pollster you're "considering" something, is even easier.

Not that I don't believe the real number has increased; I would not be surprised at all if it has. But "considering" doesn't tell me much.
Saying "nobody" may be putting to much faith on your fellow humans.

> Again, no one stated that race should be a category upon which these algorithms work.

Many variables that a priori have nothing to do with race (e.g. where you live, how much money you make, etc.) are highly correlated with race. Allowing those variables is basically the same thing as allowing race into the models. I don't want to pretend like controlling for something like this isn't possible, but I rarely see it considered (and quite rarely do I even see the problem acknowledged).

> Not really, no. Some easy to digest facts are just that, facts. They're inconvenient because they go against certain narratives, so they're immediately labelled "racist", which is the point I originally made.

What are examples these facts you refer to?
Terminal bells trained me to be very cautious about what files I jam into stdout, or its equivalent.

My guess is cost of living. Either between "working remote" while paying city rent prices, or paying real estate taxes for one of the better school districts, I imagine there's a high percentage of residents that don't believe they are getting what they are paying for.

It's interesting that California is right there next to Massachusetts, but New York is further down the list
That's obviously not true. Communication is a two-way relationship. You literally can't be an effective communicator on your own. If you write something in a way that can't be understood (with a little effort) by the reader then you failed to communicate well. If the reader is using a screenreader and you wrote in silly characters then you failed to communicate effectively, and you didn't convey anything at all regardless of what you might have meant.

The disease is 99.99% survivable with no medical care whatsoever. So much so more than half of the people don't even notice they have it.
Interesting! I guess that makes sense but I definitely would have underestimated that cost.

In this case the cost seemed to apply in part to 3,000 cameras. But solely based on the article, it's hard for me to tell what portion of that $30 million went to upgrades/maintenance and what portion went to the cameras. However it does clearly say it would be another $7 million to maintain the cameras over the next four years.

I would be goog4life if I could specify 'The cheapest gas station next to the interstate within the next 30 miles in the direction I am already traveling'.
(Cambridge, MA resident). It's expensive and taxes are somewhat high, so if you can keep your same salary and move someplace cheaper now that remote working is suddenly more acceptable, that could be a big enough driver to respond to a poll with "I'm considering moving out".
Imagine if Woz had had access to a UBI and universal healthcare instead of being super broke and living right on the edge. What could he have created with just a few extra resources? How many would-be Wozs are out there now too scared to spend that $300?
On a typewriter the bell rings before you return the carriage. (By pushing it – if it's manual, there's no such thing as ‘hitting enter’.) It happens a few characters before the end of the line, as a warning that you should go to the next line after the current word, or if it's a long word, think about hyphenation.

Oh, and the typewriters used to perform that song made famous by Jerry Lewis are hacked so the bell can be triggered ad lib — but the sheet music still says to do it before pushing the lever :)
I recently ported a code to AVX512 (with ISPC) and was blown away by the performance. Sure, maybe fma can cause throttling but for me, I could replace a 28 core Haswell machine by a 10 core Skylake X (Xeon W specifically) with the new instruction set. A fatter one (16 core?) would compete with a high end Nvidia card and maybe a 32 core EPYC. Sure, it’s just my benchmark, but it is competitive.
Yeah the Franklin Ace was mostly an Apple ][+ clone but had lower case (but no 80 columns). It's kind of a miracle so much software worked with that.

But in a nutshell: availability and scalability. Yes you can achieve this with relational DBs, but it will be quite complex, while No-SQL gives it by design.

What makes you think someone "chose" the circumstances they face right now? When people decide to have kids they usually make the rational and justifiable assumption that childcare is available during their working hours and that they will be able to have a workspace that is separate from their child's play space.

The only relevant "choice" here is the choice that companies made to close their offices and require employees to work from home. For people with children in their homes that is going to mean they are less productive, even if there is a babysitter available. If your company told you that you are required to do your work while riding on a roller coaster, where you would likely be much less productive, you would be right to ask the company for to reduce your expectations until you are allowed to return to your office. Since parents are being required to work from an environment where their productivity will be lowered, it is reasonable and everyone should expect that their expectations will be adjusted downward to reflect that. If your home environment does not significantly reduce your productivity then there is no reason to think your own expectations should be adjusted downward.

Sort of surprised to see Florida on there. It always seems like it's a place that people are moving to either for the weather or low taxes. I'm guessing it has to do with tourism being shot this year and a lot of people there not being able to make a living? Possibly this is why Nevada is so high on the list too, via Las Vegas.

Interesting to see NJ and CN having low numbers of people that want to move out. I'm guessing a lot of people that want to leave NYC but stay nearby will be moving into these locations. MA is sort of interesting though being so high on the list. Maybe folks want to move to NH or VT if they don't have to be in Boston?

Oregon, Portland in particular - I mean what can you say about the place now?

Illinois makes sense as Chicago has been on the decline for nearly 50 years now and they refuse to change anything about how they do things. Sad as it's a great city but just refuses to break their corrupt political machine.

OK, fine. But clearly this article is trying, and failing, to refer to the actual Mountain West, not the Appalachian foothills. It reminds me of one of those joke "US maps for New Yorkers" where half the country is New Jersey.
This is my distinct memory too but I'm never sure how to separate it from the confounding factors of moving across the country and changing economic levels.

My childhood in the South was spent in a cacophany of frogs, birds, and cicadas. We'd have to yell at each other on the back porch to be heard over the treefrogs. Everywhere you looked was a reptile, bug, or other critter. Throw a hook in the water with a piece of bread or worm on it, and you'd have a bite nearly instantly.

Today, here in the Pacific Northwest, the forests are beautiful but almost entirely silent aside from a bird here and there. The last time I went camping, I didn't see a living thing larger than a banana slug. Much of that is surely the temperature difference, but I'm never sure if that explains all of it.
