This seems to imply we could develop half the world, which seems like a lot more than we have done today. Your description of controlled access sounds like the BLM. 50% is too arbitrary to be compelling, what makes you pick that number?
And a lot subsistence farming in the developing world where you basically just farm for yourself to eat which are very small.

And even if someone farms for selling to others if they don't have reliable access to machinery the farms will be really small as that just does not scale up (just take a look at pre industrial world where something like 90% of people were farmers)

How is that better than living in harmony with nature? A handful of acres can support a family if properly cared for. Why is living in boxes and pretending the world doesn't exist preferable to coexisting with it?

HuffPost India is history, thanks to new FDI norms
No, the question was never discovered in any of the original series -- Arthur tries to discover the question by pulling scrabble tiles out of a bag, but discovers that the question is "what is six times nine?" (which leads Ford Prefect to quip "I always knew there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe."). It then dawns on them that this is because the Earth program was disturbed by an alien spaceship (which they were on) filled with advertising executives and telephone sanitisers crashing on Earth and forcing all of the local cavemen into extinction, meaning the program was thrown off course millions of years before he was born.

"How many roads must a man walk down?" is just a suggestion for the question that gets thrown out by the pan-galactic mice -- which (depending on the version of the story you read) they decide to use as a fake answer so they can get on the 5-D chat show circuit. It wasn't the actual question.
In my experience, math is 99% handwriting. You only put it into Latex once you solved the problem. Exploration and experiments are done on with pen and paper.

This is also the reason why notation is often terse, and highly domain/author specific. You get tired of writing long_variable_names very quickly if you do it OVER AND OVER by hand. Now think about how much work and confusion it would be to replace those symbols with little paintings...
A long long time ago, I was testing a web site. I accidentally suspended the server. Mozilla's progress bar stopped right there while internet explorer kept going, progressively slower, until the browser threw an error around 98%. Also, let's not forget windows file download/copy estimations. Lying progress bars are at least as old as windows.
No. Books were the most cost-effective medium for transfering knowledge for a long time, but that's in the past. They were never the most efficient - a few hours of one on one chat with domain expert, possibly with a whiteboard (or, failing that, some sand and a stick) at hand, could easily be an equivalent of ten times as much time of reading a book. Now that there's negligible difference in distribution cost between a flat text and a full-blown multimedia presentation, sticking with text is simply a waste of time.
embedded finance means putting fintech solutions directly into the products that people use in their everyday life.
For example, powering lending or factoring solutions directly into the accounting software in a company. Or fintech solutions in a payroll software (salary advance, loans, etc). These softwares already have enough data to be able to provide a very good idea on the profile of the person. An very good example is Stripe Capital or Shopify Capital, or even Gusto latest offering (debit cards, etc..)
Review of Rejoiner
I'm gladly waiting for Ryzen 4800u to actually be available in good quality laptops, or otherwise the next iteration of Intel Mobile CPUs, but like you I won't use Apple's walled gardens (except for work, as I'm forced to).
I don't understand what the references to AI Dungeon are all about?
AFAIK: Apple Silicon features an MSR you can toggle which swaps the memory model for a core between ARM's relaxed model and x86's TSO model, all at once. When Rosetta2 launches an app, and translates it, it simply tells the kernel that the process, when given an active slice of CPU time, should use the TSO memory model, not the relaxed one. Only Rosetta2 can request this feature. That's about all there is to it, and it does this whether the app is multicore or not (yes TSO is only needed in multicore, but enabling it unilaterally is simpler and has no downsides for emulating single-core x86 apps.)

There's also a similar MSR for 4k vs 16k page sizes I think, another x86 vs Apple Silicon discrepancy, but I'm not sure if Rosetta2 uses that, too.
Isn't this mostly about driver support? I'm not a hardware guy, but it's hard to understand why it's so difficult to reverse engineer something like the touchpad driver. Isn't it just a matter of measuring the IO and reproducing it? I mean how has MS done this for bootcamp?

Exactly, this huge variety of non-meat protein sources is new. As recent as 100 years ago you ate whatever you could get ahold of. And that always included some meat if you didn't want to die.

Many of these new sources don't have complete protein profile needed to be healthy.
Starship development continues apace. They’re planning to launch the latest starship vehicle to 50km altitude next week and then perform their difficult landing maneuver 15km from the launch site.

I believe the sweating skin idea has been dropped. See this one hour video for a detailed breakdown of the current state of the design:

https://youtu.be/-8p2JDTd13k
A few years ago I reviewed a platform offer from a corporation you've heard of. They had a similar clause regarding data protection issues - it basically said "all your data is going to be sent to US servers and we're going to do basically whatever we want with it and there's nothing you can do to opt out. It's your responsibility to let your customers know about it".

I told my boss that, while I was not a lawyer, in my opinion we simply could not sign that contract and provide a service without blatantly violating the then-recent GDPR. (We didn't sign it, although I don't know if that played a part.)

Chec seems to be using a similar approach? They're running a B2B service which doesn't provide analytics opt-out, and their B2C users are supposed to tell the customers "hey, we can't offer you an opt-out on data collection because it's required to make the software platform work" (except that you're not required to run your store on Chec specifically, otherwise it would be a trivial method to bypass the GDPR).

Nonetheless, it's inexcusable that the words 'purpose' and 'analytics' do not appear in that blog post. Those are essential aspects of the GDPR, and if you're not explicitly stating that you won't re-sell the collect data to third parties without the owner's consent, I assume you do.

Silicon Valley hype with GPT-3 has gone too far. It's just a probabilistic language model that has sampled a lot of the internet. It cannot think, and is echoing our thoughts back to ourselves.
Well, it doesn't seem to happen in practice so it's either hard or there are no incentives to do it, or both.

But that's the reality we live in.
Oh. You'd be right in that. But you're the one that brought up sexism in the first case! Perhaps it's prejudiced in itself to assume implicit evil from the choice of characters in a story? Not to mention it detracts from the central discussion, which may explain downvotes.

Are you just talking about using an ARM64 container your root container? This kind of breaks the point of docker if you're running on x86 in the cloud, doesn't it? You're no longer developing in your exact deployment environment, which is one of the key benefits of docker.
It sounds nice but it's just one non sequitur after another. A very sleek looking plane that is incapable of flight.

I expect the exact opposite from what I would qualify as AI: something that doesn't look like any plane a human would design but yet it flies!

Continuing on that parallel: it took ~400 years from the flying machines like the one designed by Leonardo da Vinci to transition from a superficial imitation of birds to a design that didn't look like birds but could actually fly.
Apparently, (char)42 == '*', so 42 is "everything" or "whatever you want it to be".
Heh. I think you are correct though. Having a few packs could be beneficial, but while city dwellers are mostly in favor, hunters and farmers see it more critically.

I like wolves, but if they gain a critical spread, there will be conflicts with civilization.

And of course you need to hunt them at some point to keep them away from urban areas. Didn't take 5 years after their immigration for my country to allow to hunt them again because they primarily attack grazing animals even if they are only present in tiny numbers.

We have too many boars and there is truth in the argument about ecological balance, but they aren't the preferred prey if there are that many sheep around. They aren't that stupid.

edit: Hunters also request anonymity for hunting wolves because they fear retaliation. You cannot make this up...

Somehow we what we value is not information. Maybe it is the political use of it - we want to know so that we can pass it to others from our group?

Alacritty v0.6.0
I'm not sure how you came to either of those assumptions. First, I'm an economist. Second, I didn't suggest any method for identifying strategies. The question is the number of potential strategies.

If it's relatively easy to make money investing on a small scale, that means there are many potential strategies that don't require someone's full attention. If there are many potential strategies that don't require full attention, then someone skilled can go after many of those potential strategies and transform the small-scale into a large-scale opportunity. Since we've already established that these large-scale opportunities are hard ...
That is not correct, the term is used by all kinds of socialists. You may not care about the difference in general, but denying it is not helpful when discussing socialism. You're trying to refute the claim that private property (in the socialist sense) is problematic by defending private property (in the liberal sense), which doesn't make sense because these are two different concepts.
Don't forget that most hippies were alpha males, or at least from well off families. The free love culture passed my parents by as they were too busy making a living.
There's nothing wrong with having a nerdy hobby. But if you expect to find a romantic partner, limiting yourself to people who share your enthusiasm on this one thing is playing the dating game on extra hard mode.

It's way easier if you have a few interests that others can relate to, like going to concerts or going to the theater or rock climbing or whatever.

It's not "faking it" when you do something outside your comfort zone, I'd see it more as "expanding your horizon".
> Apple users know you pay an Apple tax and a v1 tax

I expect the v1 tax this time around is that the externals are exactly the same as the Intel machines. Compared to what laptops like the Dell XPS 13 are doing with larger screens in smaller bodies, the current Air and 13" Pro designs are getting a bit long in the tooth now.

I expect next year we'll see new design for the iMac with the M1X, or whatever the bigger variant will be called, as the current version is absolute dinosaur at this point, but I also think we'll see an updated design for the Air and 13" Pro (maybe 14" like how the 15" went to 16"—it would certainly help differentiate the Air and Pro a little more).
> I'd assume that in these special cases....

You know, this situation is what we're talking about here. As for "special training" -you do realize that the special training police receive in firearms is more or less "how to kill people more efficiently," right? Exactly the same training given to civilian holders of concealed carry licenses in the US in states that require them. Seems kind of messed up that a guy with a genuine need can only get what he needs by bribing sherrifs. Looking at his background I don't think he needs much more training.

FWIIW you don't need any training in my state to carry a pistol. In fact you don't even need a license (you will be issued one if you're a non-felon for use in other states). It causes zero problems, my state has the third lowest crime rate in the country. The two lower crime states in the country, we share borders and gun laws with.

>You definitely don't need a gun

You definitely don't get to decide.

It's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect a human to produce in response to being tasked with what they tried to task it with.

It's bananas.
I get:

>"This is why you are here. This is how things work."The boy's eyes were wide with wonderment, but then he said: "Dad, I don't understand!" His father looked at him with disappointment and annoyance. "You do not understand," he said. "I am sorry, but you will have to wait until tomorrow."The boy smiled, as if he understood everything. He stood up and left the room.

Then it wanders into some confused, repetitive nonsense.

So I think the author is reading far too much into the responses. It's fun to make these connections and perform a sort of literary analysis as an amusement. But if you believe it is real, you're treading down the same mental path that produced such foolishness as astrology and witch trials.

After all, when you intentionally search for hidden meaning in something, you're almost guaranteed to find it.
I agree that learning directly from an expert is much more efficient. A multimedia presentation can be just as good as a book or better. Its just that as of today, I haven't seen many websites that match the depth and completeness of books yet.

> Kids today arent going to know their eta from their gamma.

I was inclined to agree with you, but then I remembered the zodiac sign emoji. Capricorn is basically η with a looped tail and taurus is gamma ɣ with a bigger loop. I'm pretty sure kids wouldn't be able to write them by hand (neither would I), but they have the advantage that if you type their names on a phone keyboard, you just need to recognize the symbol and tap it. Maybe all that's needed for Greek letters to compete with emoji is equal treatment by keyboards.
I think people here tend to underestimate the mental capability of GPT-3.

Keeping that in mind: the author vastly overestimates the mental capability of GPT-3.
It's Blackhat AI. Designed to confuse humans.

When a new "App" is installed on Big Sur (and I think this was on Catalina too), there is a check to see if the developer ID has been tagged as providing malware. When Big Sur launched, there was a glitch and the servers hung, leaving a lot of users in a bit of a lurch.

It's easy to disable the check and a lot of software never gets checked for other reasons.

> How are they to be pronounced? "croissant emoji squared plus girl wearing hat"?

I knew a girl named 胡伊人 Hú Yīrén, who for a long time had her wechat display name as three emoji, a tiger face, a hand holding up one finger, and a human girl's face. (The intent would have been to read these as "tiger", "one", and "person", 虎一人 hǔ yìrén.)

But emoji didn't appear in notifications, and my phone was set to English rather than Chinese, so whenever I got a message from her the notification would read "[Tiger][No. 1][Girl] ...". I started thinking of her as "tiger number one girl", a bit.
This is the correct thing to be amazed about.

Yeah but it seems that the kind of dogs who can scare off or fight off a pack of wolves are quite expensive:

He has 17 of these guard dogs now. They are expensive animals, each one worth far more than a sheep. “Last year, I had to explain to my seven-year-old daughter that I couldn’t get her a Christmas present because I had to buy a new dog. That was heartbreaking.” He doesn’t own his land. At this rate – the extra costs of security, the growing losses – he never will. For even with the dogs, his flock is not safe.
