Marriage was mostly a contract where the man say he is responsible for the kids born by the woman and the woman say she wont have kids with other men.
Organized crime?
In principle, yes, of course, because we use Turing machines for deep learning :-) but I think Hinton's point is much less broad than you imply: He believes "AGI" ultimately will be achieved with deep learning approaches, as opposed to other approaches, e.g., symbolic AI.
I actually like the spartan no BS.
Ok, that sounds like a response to my initial question Are there any papers or articles about the mentioned findings?

Casually sharing observations is a good thing, and even better when there is some detail information available which makes it possible to understand the propositions sufficiently well and to assess how certain the conclusions are.
Is it alarmist? The article is mostly covering the action of the Danish government, which has decided to cull all the minks.

The action may be alarmist but that's another story.
I missed this. I can not believe ths kid got 2 life sentences + 40 and no appeal. It's like something out of a 19th century novel

There is a petition for Ross:

That's fair. I recall reading the developers' rationale for their decision to do multiple documents and sharing at the document level. They argued that it simplified the mental model, and I'd tend to agree: when I use shared docs I want to be careful with what's private and what's shared, and the UI (the document list on the left) make it easy to do that. Almost every time I've shared something, it's been intended for sharing from the start, so creating a new document is natural. (And the one time that wasn't true, cut and paste into a new doc was just a few clicks.)

One problem with Workflowy for me was that the mobile app(s) were not very good. Dynalist's isn't great either but it's better.

Anyway, the products are more similar than they are different.

The military does a lot of training and exercises off the coast near Los Angeles, and those aircraft are most likely "aggressor"/target aircraft. See, e.g., https://defpost.com/atac-hawker-hunter-aggressor-aircraft-cr...

Their ownership is obscured via the TVPX trust company, but they're really operated by Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC): https://atacusa.com/

This sort of training happens all the time, and you get used to seeing lots of aircraft circling around over the ocean in southern California.

Edit: Right now in that area I see aircraft from at least two other contractors that do threat simulation for military training, plus an unknown military aircraft. Sometimes you can check the AIS tracking sites and see military ships in the area, too.
Could that be due to the cleverness of modern heavyweight CPUs, with techniques like register renaming? Would things change if you used less sophisticated processors?
You wouldn't be using a PRNG for this, because what would be the point? The idea would be to generate some plausible-sounding audio, not garbage that a listener would obviously know isn't real.

Really, though, in general there's just no point to this altogether; just cutting power/data to the mic is fine. There's no need to attempt to fool someone with fake audio, outside of some very edge-case scenarios that I'm sure Dell (rightly) does not care about.
Human anger is not necessary targeted fairly or at right target. Human anger is often targeted at whoever is around when the emotion strikes - or whoever is easy target.

People are not perfectly tuned machines. Yes, people should exercise self control over emotions and acts and direct that anger appropriately.

Most of these platforms contribute their GBIF which aggregates it together. I contribute my sightings to iNaturaliast, but when I need the data for occurrences pull GBIF. I think this is perfect, because each site can compete on the best reporting interface, while not fragmenting data for data consumers.

Good point. A lot of this is my personal impression from lots of political conversations. But there are a few known interesting facts.

1 People know their party's policy positions more than any other time in modern history

2 Legislators vote more along their party lines than at any point in history

3 People split ticket and switch votes less than any time

One partially confounding fact to my thesis here is that

4 People "identify" less with a party than at any time in history

Also, HN inexplicably hates Bitcoin. Also why this comment will be removed.
New easy way to Hunt Mushrooms – with AI
I went hunting mushrooms in the forest. Basket in my hand, phone in my pocket. And then I had an idea.

Let's not infantalize him. Twenty six years old is not a "kid." He was a grown ass man who attempted to have someone killed. That being said, a double life sentence is extreme, considering many actual murderers get out after less than twenty years. Our draconian drug punishment escalations are not good.
This is the explanation I get when I dig into these things, yes.

For example I'll see what seems to my less-experienced eyes some completely redundant 'mov' instructions shifting things around. I'll ask 'should we fix this' and the response is usually 'doesn't really matter it's basically free'.
They're a way for the already financially well-off to pay less for everything. Why would the IRS crack down on just one example of this, when there are so many others?

You're probably thinking of employer-paid business travel, passing on "air miles" to an employer. It's 2020, my friend.
> My point is that these constructs exist so that you can do things with Rust that Rust isn't really ideal for.

And this is where I disagree. Shared mutable state and multiple ownership via automated reference counting are legitimate patterns in a system programming language, and using Rc, Cell, RefCell, etc. enables these patterns in a way that preserves memory safety. That's pretty close to ideal, especially when compared to what you often see in C/C++.

They expect users to pay twice for their GPUs - once for the integrated one and once for the dedicated one.

They are probably attempting this because for a long time OEMs would include both Intel's iGPU (not like they had a choice) but also an Nvidia GPU, even if it had the same or lower performance than the iGPU, just so Intel doesn't fully monopolize their devices.

Then again, by this logic not sure why any OEM would pay twice for Intel GPUs, either.

Part of it may be technical. High-res, colored PNG icons a) are heavyweight, b) require you to ship multiple sizes, c) if you don't have a large enough version for a new display resolution it'll look blurry. This adds both process complexity and implementation complexity.

Vectorized icons on the other hand take up much less memory and can auto-scale to different displays and use-cases. If you take it a step further and ship them as a font - which is the gold-standard these days - they can be stored even more compactly and worked with very easily on the web and otherwise, and can even be re-colored dynamically. But of course a font can only be rendered in one color at a time.
I’m surprised that these were able to last as long as they did without human interference and damage. I assumed generally that these robots would not last due to humans messing with them.

There have been studies showing that it is the most harmful drug to society, including Professor Nutt's rather famous 2010 Lancet paper.

The fact that alcohol is legal and generally socially acceptable of course means that it's also the most consumed recreational drug by far, which no doubt contributes - but it can't be denied that alcohol is addictive, and alcoholism is a huge problem.
Arguably (by me) Bitcoin Cash is MUCH closer to "Bitcoin" than the current "BTC" chain. Bitcoin Cash coins were moved too though. It will be VERY interesting to see if they try and use Cash Fusion to effectively mix the coins on the BCH chain though.
Don't forget blockchain! AI powered block chain powered AI
OK, but the real economy is about 10,000,000x larger than the crypto economy.

The point is that a huge fraction of the crypto economy is outright extortion or fraud, not that it's the source of all evil in the world.
I don't have an argument with you there but that is an entirely different topic from claiming meat eating itself as an aberation or vice.

The problem is agricultural meat eating doesn't scale to industrial levels without abject cruelty. To be frank, industrialism itself requires abject cruelty towards humans, too. I feel worse about humans labouring in brutal factory conditions in China making trinkets than I do about chickens in cages..

FWIW I like chickens. We have two pet chickens who stopped laying a long time ago and just live a life of leisure hanging out under a couple very large mullberry trees. I like humans more.
Yes, metromile being one. Saved me a bunch of money since I seldom drive.
Uh that’s a REALLY bad example, given how much Google indeed HAS tacked everything else onto their core product. How many ads do you have to scroll past for the first real result? Are you certain the results are good, or are they skewed by some weirdness in your login, since they track all your searches now, to “personalize” (target) results (ads)?

Google’s core product was a text box into which you could type anything and get something useful in the first few results. That product no longer exists.

It would be super nice for manufacturers to start doing that, but this is not a silver bullet. There's been so many times where I've just had my laptop stay open and on for different reasons. If in such scenarios the webcam comes on, the likelihood of me seeing the camera light on is quite low. I'm sure I'm not the only person either. Hardware switch is still the best solution.

My lenovo laptop has basically a builtin webcam cover, and I absolutely love it.

I'd nitpick and say a corporations best self-interest is achieving what it's charter states as its purpose. Or it should be. If that's purely making money, fine. Though often pursuing financial gains first and foremost in the long term loses on actual value produced and therefore ultimately lowers it's lifelong monetary value too. E.g. SpaceX looks to be a very valuable company, but it's primary goal is to make it to the moon.
No competent medical professional ever uses the term "herd immunity" in any instance where they are not talking about a vaccine. Without a vaccine to _create_ herd immunity, what you are proposing is just sitting back and willfully letting huge numbers of people die, willfully allowing the virus to mutate unchecked as it spreads unchecked, etc. You should really give this a listen: https://maximumfun.org/episodes/sawbones/herd-immunity/
I agree that in the Trump case the models/polls are missing something, and we should try to figure out what it is, but I just don't think that's a bizarre thing for models/polls, and, more important, I think it's crazy how it's portrayed as some kind of ignorance of the elites in their political bubble, or some moral fault of arrogance.
Long ago, we did have those as one type: https://doc.rust-lang.org/0.5/std/arc.html#struct-mutexarc

But yes, as you say, we decided to split them up, because it is easy to combine them, and you may want to combine other pieces in different ways. Rc<T> on its own is good in many cases, you may want Arc<RwLock<T>> instead of Arc<Mutex<T>>, etc.

Again, why did we stop with disks? Right or wrong that's what happened. Why?

There were punch cards and tapes and other stuff before disks. There have been flash devices and cloud services and other stuff since. Yet, for some possibly interesting reason we got stuck on disks, and floppy disks in particular.
It took way too long to get going with this, I bailed. The idea of pulling tasks from all project managers is extremely enticing to me as a consultant and contractor as I heavily use multiple task platforms. The completely guided walkthrough and survey were too much, I won't be back.

> I've been testing out both the 8GB Pi 4 and the new Pi 400 overclocked to 2.2 GHz. For many things, both are perfectly adequate.

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I have a 4GiB pi 4B and have found it laggy enough to be basically completely unsuitable for even the most lightweight interactive computing tasks, e.g. basic (ad filtered) web browsing. I think there might have been a bit of intermittent laginess in typing into an xterm in a bare bones tiling window manager with basically nothing else going on, but I'd have to check again. After the initial hickup on full-screening, did the video play back properly for you? For me it was not possible to play 480p youtube videos.

All in all this was much worse than I expected from a quad core machine with 4GiB.

Now I haven't got the fastest micro-SD card, and I'm running with Ubuntu 20.04 64bit server rather than raspian, but is this just what I should expect, or should a different configuration of the 4GiB 4B handle light web surfing and fullscreen video playback?
If you'd like me to explain why I hate Bitcoin, look no further than the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index[0], which currently has Bitcoin using the same energy consumption as the nation of Chile. It provides less utility than a credit card, all while using 779092 times the energy needed per transaction.

I don't think it's inexplicable that we hate an ongoing environmental disaster.

I haven't done much of what could be called "systems work" in my time with Rust, so it's hard for me to comment on that, but I would tend to assume the overhead of these constructs would be extra unappealing in that context, and that instead people would do some combination of re-structuring their code to fit the ownership model and/or using unsafe { }.

I guess it also depends on how much memory "churn" your program has. Maybe an operating system keeps objects around for a long time, in which case the overhead of reference-counting diminishes towards negligible. But a web server will typically allocate a bunch of memory and then throw it all away on a per-request basis. If all of this is happening behind ref-counters, I think it will start to become noticeable. Of course, for many kinds of web servers it's very possible to accomplish your goal using single-ownership. But it sounded like that wasn't true in the OP's case.

> So you believe that animals are just automata with no consciousness?

I don't think their consciousness matters. Obviously they're conscious and sentient to some extent; but that does not make them human, and I will not draw false equivalency here so as to be put in the position of having to have the same moral standards for how we treat animals as we treat people. Obviously, if I was going to do that, I wouldn't accept killing and eating them, either.

Herds of domesticated pigs exist because _we created them_, by domesticating and farming them over thousands of years. Evolutionarily, they owe their existence to mankind. We're certainly not going to let them die out.

> That animal cruelty cannot exist even in principle, any more than cruelty to sand?

There is a distinct difference between animal cruelty (hurting an animal for your own personal amusement) versus farming an animal in a cost effective way (which it may not enjoy). It's a slippery slope, for sure, and I'm fine with improvements to their standard of living as long as meat remains affordable to everyone.

Great comment. Speciesism is just another form of bigotry similar to racism. Bigots try to justify this by pointing out some differences between humans and other species, but differences exist within human species and they are not the basis for discrimination.
The thing is, you can have both, there's no sensible reason to delay results, and it might give the appearance of wiggle room. If the count was more efficient, Trump wouldn't have time to try tactics like suing Michigan to stop counting.
