Hm. So in essence, you would instantly buy crypto through Stripe, and then they would instantly sell it to someone else? Kind of like a middleman or exchange service?

It's so strange to me that people don't see how that is antithetical to the concept of cryptocurrencies.

The right way to do cryptocurrencies is to just let people use cryptocurrencies. But that means watching your business get eaten up by it. Which is why they are trying to insert themselves so that they don't get disrupted out of existence.
Yes, at least in my experience over the last two years with Arch running Gnome as the DE.

Wayland's trackpad support is excellent, I can switch from my mac for work to my personal machine without noticing.

Multi monitor support is MILES (I literally cannot emphasize how much better it is) better. Different scaling ratios for different monitors, much better automatic detection and configuration.

There are two remaining problems in my opinion

- Screen sharing is still rather hit or miss. Pipewire is functional for me on latest versions of chromium, but does not work for some electron apps that package older versions (Slack, in this case).

- X-Wayland applications still make you feel the hurt from Xorg. Most times I don't care, but the default builds of chromium and chrome both rely on X-Wayland. There are AUR builds of chromium that have moved to Ozone and have native Wayland support, though (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-ozone/)

----

Long story short, Wayland is why my personal machine no longer has windows on it. It's genuinely much better, and I don't spend any time at all dicking around with xorg config files (literally not once have I touched a config file related to monitors or user input devices on my current linux box in the last year. It feels very nice.)
Its beautiful watching open source work!
I do like to point out that whatever shenanigans YouTube is doing with their discoverability and promotion features, they still provide unlimited lifetime 8K video hosting for free. And that's a pretty good deal.

The party is over, I guess. I'll give it another try later.
TLDR: reinforcement learning cannot handle AGI, because reinforcement learning rewards must be finite, but a true artificial intelligence could reason about infinite numbers.

I think this is complete nonsense. Humans don't receive infinite rewards, either, but we still think about infinite numbers. We typically think about infinite numbers in terms of finite representations, like finite proofs about their properties. Reinforcement learning could in theory do the same thing.

The real reason that traditional reinforcement learning will not yield AGI is that the model is too limited. The current state of the art in reinforcement learning relies on representing the entire world and your entire strategy as a single vector. For most RL tasks we haven't even gotten deep networks working; RL is somewhat behind areas like vision or natural language processing.

The way forward isn't to worry about infinite numbers, it's to develop better architectures that let RL solve more problems.

On top of this, Python is extremely dynamic and nothing can be assured without running through the code. So this leads to needing JITs to improve performance which then give a slow start up time and increased complexity. Even with JIT, Python is just not fast thanks to the above issues and it's overall dynamism.

It can be optimised and for sure there's some impressive attempts at doing so. However I don't think pure Python will ever be considered "fast" as these things necessarily get in the way.

I highly recommend the two videos posted here that go into more detail as to why there are limits to how far optimisation can go: https://youtu.be/qCGofLIzX6g https://youtu.be/IeSu_odkI5I

Except we do have people willing to challenge the status quo. Go listen to Tulsi Gabbard’s responses in the DNC debate. Talk to any Trump hating republican who at this point would betray their party for a principled person like Sanders. People just don't vote for them and don’t participate locally where it counts.

I believe America is desperately in need of voting reform. And I believe the only way to achieve that is by voting against the establishment. I won’t be voting left or right this election. I’ll either be voting third party or writing in a strong left/right P/VP ticket.
Put together a data science portfolio and get noticed
Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately there's still some wastage as you end up having to set up a public IP for both endpoints to allow the routing to be public. (Yes, you can use private IP's for routing, but it makes diagnosing issues much more difficult). So then you end up with /30's used for point to point links, which is 4 addresses.

You can use /31's for point to point if both devices support it, but it's still hit or miss whether they do or not.

Even when getting a block of IP's from providers to a customer edge (think ISP's like Comcast or others) they tend to require using the .1 as the gateway, and the others are considered on-link and thus there is a network/broadcast address.

Your suggestion doesn't allow direct L2 communication between machines without sending traffic to the router, even if the two systems are L2 adjacent.

Even with v6 you'd want to assign multiple IP's to the same interface, except that instead of getting /128's routed to a machine you just a get a single /64 and you can use any of the addresses out of that range.
I have yet to get mine working. I got a GDEMU and then upon taking my DC apart realized I had the wrong model. Also have a PS2 trackball and PS2->DC kb/mouse adapter.
As a matter of fact, Nature does have logic. It’s motion is principally geometrical and affords us the ability to recursively structure electrical signals harmonically, eg feedback amplification.

Feedback circuits are vital to biological systems and prove my point.
Oh, I know. But once the option is available you can bet plenty will.
Depends on the problem. Codes that run on supercomputers need low latency communication and access to a lot of data. Think physical simulations.
I'm not sure a phone number is a hard thing to find for the police to find ... or that private a piece of data that you need to hide.

He's too late.

If the Church (and others) had taken that position 30 years ago, we might have ended up with a second class "civil union" situation. It would have been a compromise.

But same-sex marriage opponents didn't compromise. They gambled and lost. They opposed civil unions, and so there was no reason for same-sex marriage advocates to aim for anything less than full equality.

That turned out to have broad appeal, as more gay people came out of the closet and appeared as non-threatening characters on TV, and their relationships became normalized. There was just no reason to reject them, aside from religious dogma, and that's just not acceptable in a civil court.

So it's great that the Pope again acknowledges that gay people are people and that their relationships have merit. (He has said so before in other ways.) But if he wants to reserve the word "marriage" to be a thing that he controls, that is a ship that sailed. He's welcome to say that gay people aren't "married in the eyes of the Church", but countries have and will pay that zero mind.
If you're reading this thread, and you haven't read enough about negotiations to know what BATNA stands for, and you're forced by darksaints' comment to go look it up, then IMO darksaints has done you a favour.
Here’s a better idea. Remove the notification feature entirely. Don’t disable it. Remove it. Its loss would improve the internet.
Yeah, this stance is insane. You literally have a constitutional right to carry a gun. If that's grounds for lethal force at a traffic stop then I don't think we really have that right. And obey police officers absolutely or die is the stupidest possible escalation. If you don't listen to an officer the result should be a citation or an arrest.
This appears to be tips for engaging in "influencing"

For the rest of us there are ways to get the best from twitter.

The "home" screen is where they insist on showing you random shit, trends and vitriol. There are setting you can flip to turn these off, however I can't remember them.

This is where lists come in

They only work[1] if you unfollow everyone but a handful of close contacts, or people who don't "like", "had got a reply" or retweets stuff that annoys you.

once you have a small "clean" set of contacts, you feel like you're missing out, this is where lists come in.

You can now setup a bunch of lists for various interests that you have. List timelines don't have any bells and whistles, they are almost linear time, and have none of the "x has received a reply" shit on the home timeline. It also allows you to partition your timeline by your mood. So if you're not in the mood for politics, don't look at the politics tab.

[1] it works for me
Do not use Temporary Containers.

This extension to Multi-Account Containers looks great at first -- its Automatic mode spins up a new container each time you open a new tab, then switches that tab to an existing container, should one be associated with the TLD you visit.

The problem is that Temporary Containers does not delete these temporary containers. They accumulate in the MAC containers list. There is no way to mass delete them, nor set them to auto-delete when the tab is closed.

These WILL sync to your Firefox account and reappear on every machine. Over 3000 temp container made MAC unusably laggy. This was so destructive of my MAC experience that I uninstalled both extensions. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there is no way to reset the data MAC syncs to Firefox Account.

That second extension is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely - mostly because it's in the interest of the establishment of both parties to keep the two party system.

That's why I like advocating for it in local elections - it leads to a more wide awareness of the advantages of the system in the minds of electorates.
> Frankly, no.

To be honest, this is not a surprise.
> why there are limits to how far optimisation can go

I'd challenge the idea that there really are known 'limits'. As I say there's research towards this, these videos are old, and Armin and Seth may not be up to date with all of the literature (in fact I'm sure Seth is not, as he's missing at least one major current Python implementation research project from his blog post.)
Why do you think the majority of Americans want Sanders' policy? If neither major party are onboard with medicare for all, then that would be a strong indication that the majority of Americans do NOT want what he is offering.
and to add to mmcclure's point

I do all my shopping in the shopping container. I have the deals website I frequent set to the shopping container so if I open slickdeals.net in any tab, I get to the shopping container.

One quality of life change I encourage is go to manage containers and select "Select a container for each new tab". Then you can pretend the firefox tab without a container even exists (caveat: does not work with ctrl + t shortcut for new tab)

> The nice bonus feature is you can have certain sites default to containers. I had a paid YouTube account for a while, for example, so having any YouTube link open in my personal account was nice for not getting hit with ads on initial click due to my default Gmail not being the right one.
I just looked at the source code. It isn't difficult to understand. Same as decentraleyes. Looks like removing integrity is only optional per site or permanent for all. The remove list then becomes a non-removable list. The libraries are so far identical to those of Cloudflare.

Enough people accusing you of this that it actually got under your skin?

If I created an amazing enough animation that random strangers on twitter recognized it... I mean, I'd say that if you're getting called out for using it and removing the artists name that's pretty amazing in general even if it sucks in this specific instance.

I find it shocking that strangers would actually stand up for an artist on the internet that seems to be having their work used without permission. Shocking in a good way.

Easy enough to address I hope with a note from the artist, though maybe I underestimate how fast Twitter dog piles happen...

I'm not sure I understand this perspective. Responsible people still make errors; they just take steps to minimize the risk of an error when there's something important they need to do. When parents forget to pick their child up from school (and I have family in education who assure me this is a common problem), the kinds of errors described in the paper hardly excuse it. Certainly nobody would say the parents are victims because the school didn't properly remind them!

I think we all agree that's a separate question from what achieves the best outcomes as a matter of social policy.

I think your theory on what might be happening with some of these folks may be spot on.

Still there's an incentive for everyone to keep these things from spiraling out of control no matter whose fault it is.

We should want some level of compliance here and avoid a legal system that then rolls out of control with minor offenses snowballing from failure to appear to serious life consequences stemming from, arrest, job loss and etc. Those situations impact everyone in society at some point, even if only in increased taxes.

These aren't super criminals, we want to process whatever has happened through the courts as efficiently as possible without it getting out of control.

Even if things spiraling out of control are their own bad choices, if we can prevent that it benefits everyone.
Back when paypal didn't prohibit trades for Bitcoin there was a ton of fraud done that way.

The technical answer is a little messy. Lying to the Notifications API doesn't make the browser itself do anything on the network, but it'll make the site think the user has opted into features that require network activity, so you'll incur all the technical costs of the site trying to send you notifications, even though you're not actually seeing the notifications.

This is not PayPal giving in. This is PayPal's most significant defense effort against cryptocurrencies.

The basic concept of cryptocurrency is that you don't need PayPal or any company to be involved in digital money exchange.

By deciding that they are going to "support" crypto what they are doing is saying "you don't need to go use real crypto. Just buy it from us and we will handle it for you.". Which means instead of the transaction going through on the real blockchain, it goes through PayPal still. Paypal stays in the loop and gets their transaction fee. People don't own cryptocurrencies.

What we want is for Ethereum 2 and or Polkadot or whatever that is now starting to get better scaling ability to really take off and start clearing a ton of transactions per second.

It's amazing to me that people cannot see that PayPal and other banks or transaction middlemen have a fundamental conflict of interest with cryptocurrencies which aim to make them obsolete.
You reserve the various names so that users can't create labels that conflict. I think most UK (and us Aussie) users would be quite happy not to be able to create a folder called Trash in exchange for having a folder that represents what we think it should be called.
>Humans don't receive infinite rewards

Maybe you're right, but I don't think it's as obvious as you imply.

Consider this question. Can there exist hypothetical rewards x1,x2,x3,..., each one of which is significantly better than the previous, and at the same time another hypothetical reward y such that y is significantly better than each x_i?

If such rewards can exist, and if "significantly better" implies "at least +1 better", then that necessarily means y must be infinite.

Now, how would you argue that such rewards can't exist? If you say, "because then y would have to be infinite", then you're arguing in circles, assuming what you want to prove in the first place. It might well be that such rewards indeed can't exist, but if so, the argument would have to be different, and I suspect nontrivial.
The Tragedy here is that spectrum auctions have been lose-lose-lose.

1. Telecom companies and their shareholders are burdened by debt and either go bankrupt or have horrendous returns.

2. The govt (and taxpayers) do not realize the revenue from spectrum auctions

3. Finally, the subscribers suffer under poor network infrastructure, towers and upgrades as the companies are hamstrung by spectrum debt and unable to raise cash.

The lose-lose-lose Nobel winning work does not stop the columnist Mihir Sharma, who is also an economist from playing fast-n-loose with his triumphant conclusion:

"This is a well-deserved Nobel prize not because the bridge these economists built can be erected over any kind of river, but because it got built in the first place. The true miracle was the transparent, inclusive, academically informed process that led to its design. It ensured that the specific complexities of that market at that time were clearly reflected in the eventual auction design.

Market designers can’t give up because they haven’t been able to replicate that Nobel-worthy success. They need to work harder and think bigger."

Economists can never be wrong and even when they are they should be commended for their efforts even though other solutions exists - e.g. revenue sharing - which work very well. Top down market design is the highest virtue of all even though hundreds of millions of very poor people might have suffered for academic theories of a few.
I understand the game plan. US financial institutions will accept bitcoin into its system but only pay merchants in USD. Bitcoin in, USD out. The bitcoin won't be let out because it is digital gold. Go long bitcoin. The federal government and its henchmen (banks, financial institutions) are acquiring bitcoin.
It may or may not, the effect is the same in countries where nobody wears masks.

The issue with this was using multiple Google identities. The Google Container Extension would want to open any other Google sites in the same container.

I wanted to keep the soccer club administrator, school website, etc. Google identities separate and distinct.
