>"For example the GDPR takes the best of intentions around citizen privacy and ends up causing unintended harm by layering ambiguous and extensive responsibilities and liabilities on small businesses and individuals with web presence. They either comply at great cost (relative to their turnover) or ignore it all, intentionally or out of bewilderment."

What a load of BS. I own a small business with "a web presence". GDPR is extremely easy. What is hard is wanting to collect data legally. Just don't do it if it is too hard. Times have changed - change or die. If you write such FUD I won't trust a single word written.
To date, Dryad Arbor is still one of the coolest cards in MtG, simply because of both the simplicity and the universality of its quote.

You can learn to wade through all of that eventually, because the fundamental problems of life remain the same. What info can help purchase your freedom from want? What info leads to situations where you feel fully alive doing things that genuinely interest you? These two lodestars, if applied thoughtfully, make navigating the tsunami not only possible but maybe even uncomfortably easy, no longer leaving room for the procrastination on your true desires that was previously justified by the growing tumorous mass of media.

I have a few issues with this. As far as I know health concerns related to meat replacements aren't to do with sugar levels, probably more likely with saturated fat and sodium (which exists in regular meat too). Also I don't know why you bothered to put organic in there as well since the we're talking about meat replacement. Finally I think you're making the assumption that if we don't eat meat we need meat replacements at all.

Honestly, I thought Brexit was going to ruin the UK before COVID. But the effects of COVID and the expected effects to come when furlough ends I think the UK is going to be in complete ruins for years.

I keep reading that they expect 1/3 of people to lose their jobs when furlough ends. The goverment is now suggesting companies move warehouse (and jobs) to the EU. The increase in the costs of importing into the UK will raise prices with people who are going to have less money. Orders coming from the EU will drop massively even for those with EU warehouses because, how do I know if they have one? I've literally made sure to avoid any UK business because I know I'll have to pay extra taxes when it arrives.

And I know people who voted leave who instantly regretted it and only voted leave as a protest vote. "We wanted to give them a scare" was how it was explained to me. So basically. While some pople are still 100% for a hard brexit, I don't think the majority of the nation even wanted to leave the EU 3 years after the vote. And when it cames to the general elections, no major party went with the anti Brexit campaign which seemed nuts. The politcal elite wanted Brexit and the poor will pay the most.
As sibling says, they are deeply linked.

"The capability paradigm is about access control. When a system, such as an OS or a website, is presented with a request for a service it provides, it needs to decide if it should actually do what the requestor is asking for. The way it decides is what we’re talking about when we talk about access control. If you’re like most people, the first thing you’re likely to think of is to ask the requestor “who are you?” The fundamental insight of the capabilities paradigm is to recognize that this question is the first step on the road to perdition."

"That’s highly counterintuitive to most people, hence the related controversy."

Why Downvote Criticisms of Capitalism?
I have noticed an extreme bias as of late that Hacker News seems to downvote things that take a critical look at US established views of the word, specifically concerning negative views of the US's foreign interference in other nations as well as failures of capitalism associated with not just the US's bloody history, but in other countries as well. Is it kosher here to just downvote something you disagree with, or is the point of Hacker News to promote a certain viewpoint by downvoting anything that provides a thoughtful and novel critique of these subjects?

I may consider myself a Rowlingologist (because of JK Rowling), and it is a constant fight. A lot of places in the UK claim to have inspired JK Rowling, just because they are similar in the way they were portrayed in the films (which is very different from the books).

There is also the case of Livreria Lello, in Porto, Portugal, who spent years claiming JK Rowling visited it and got inspired for Hogwarts (they seem to have a similar staircase). They even held a Harry Potter event with signed books (most of them fake, probably the bookshop didnt know it, but they didnt do their dilligence).

Fortunatelly, Rowling denied knowing that place at all on Twitter [1], but as far as I know, the Livreria keeps telling its visitor about Rowling connection.

The same happens in Edinburgh (JKR city for the last 30 years), where if you do a tour, the guide will try to make a Harry Potter connection on every corner. Which is not completely true.

I am running an ARM Ubuntu server in QEMU. SSH'ing to that gives me a complete dev environment that so far seems to work flawlessly. I guess it's slower than if I was running things natively but on the other hand, I get seamless Docker support and it's still significantly snappier than my semi-beefy PC (and this is the Air).

The classics probably didn’t shoot for what’s happening now in the first place...

Sure, many mention the 2000s as a milestone, probably for aesthetic reasons, but the point of most sci fi isn’t to make a prediction about a concrete timeframe.

For our current problems and tech, I reckon some modern sci fi works (ex: Black Mirror, The Three Body Problem) do a good job of analyzing the current context and laying out some present and future implications.

It would also depend on the architect, primary contractor, and what kind of relationship they have. Sometimes plans are just thrown over the wall, but other times there is more collaboration.

I watch the YouTube channel of Matt Risinger, a building science focused contractor in Austin, Texas, and he seems talk with architects a lot (and they supposedly make up a good portion of his viewing audience). He regularly features Steve Baczek for example, on both his main channel and the 'secondary' Build Show Network, and latter does get into the details of the building process:

> Talking to the constructors it is normal for architects to specify the impossible, leaving it to the constructor to actually make it up on the job.

Baczek shows some plan details:

Both Risinger and Baczek subscribe to trying to achieve the 'perfect wall' on the outside:

One of things I have realised as I got older is that you have to manage your empathy just as much as you manage your anger or other emotions.

A lot of our political differences come down to who gets empathy and when (police brutality, benefits and entitlement, wars etc).

The same is true at a personal level, it is incumbent on me to show empathy for others even when I don't feel like it. Simultaneously I have to limit my empathy as in some circumstances it is harmful to me and others (some situations call for tough love at the very least).

Instead, people view empathy as something to be learned (I think it's innate but people surpress it), something that is always good (it's not, it can harm its possessor), as a quality women have more of than men (no, different people just surpress it more or less) etc.
Bad for business, bad for UK people, bad for EU people. UK authorities, are you still sane?
>> Many are elected as MPs and then appointed ministers, but this is typically not a requirement, and you can easily have unelected ministers.

OK, I don't know that. Is that the case in EU countries? If so, which ones?

Anyway I didn't say that ministers are elected as ministers, but to my knowledge for someone to be appointed a minister they must be elected into parliament. Again, if that's not the case please explain.

Maybe something like this:

- My GitHub profile now shows that I've starred a racist project.
I needed a FreeBSD/arm64 box, and so I did something similar a few weeks ago based on instructions for running Windows ARM64 on M1. The issue that I have is that the VM burns tons of battery even when idle.

It was explained to me that there are 2 different instructions on ARM to say "i'm idle, wake me up if something happens" (like x86 mwait), and Apple M1 uses one, while everybody else uses the other. Is this fixed in either FreeBSD or Qemu at this point?

BTW, I'm super impressed that a 4-core VM on my M1 13" MBP can build world in about 130% of the time of a 32-core Ampere EMAG.
Yea, The Foundation is essentially about a group of mathematicians using statistics to predict History and build a civilization of superscientists.

I studied biology and point this kind of thing out all the time. It usually gets dismissed by people who have not studied biology with a lot of hand waving.

Everything you say is true, and more. There is another kind of cell in the brain that outnumbers neurons about ten to one. They’re called glial cells and they come in numerous forms. We used to think they were just support cells but more recently started to find ways they are involved in computation. Here is one link:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartite_synapse

The computational role they have is unclear so far (unless there is more recent stuff I am not aware of) but they are involved.

We are nowhere near the human brain. I think it will take at least a few more orders of magnitude plus much additional understanding.

GPT-3 only looks amazing to us because we are easily fooled by bullshit. It impresses us for the same reason millions now follow a cult called Qanon based on a series of vague shitposts. This stuff glitters to our brains like shiny objects for raccoons.

What this stuff does show is that generating coherent and syntactically correct but meaningless language is much easier than our intuition would suggest:

https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/yoavg/d76121dfde2618422139

Those are extremely simple models and they already produce passable text. You could probably train it on a corpus of new age babble and create a cult with it. GPT-3 is just enormous compared to those models, so it’s not surprising to me that it bullshits very convincingly.

Edit: forgot to mention the emerging subject of quantum biology. It’s looking increasingly plausible that quantum computation of some kind (probably very different from what we are building) happens in living systems. It would not shock me if it played a role in intelligence. The speed with which the brain can generalize suggests something capable of searching huge n-dimensional spaces with crazy efficiency. Keep in mind that the brain only consumes around 40-80 watts of power while doing this.
It got just updated to version 12. Probably this year we can see a version based on the 13 kernel.

I still expect the number to be pretty small compared to the number of Linux users, no matter how you define user (if playstation users counts as freebsd users, then I guess nearly everyone is a Linux user :) )

The point of the licence is a good point. Is the kind of code drewg123 is referring to regularly copied from BSD to Linux? (i understand it should be possible in this direction?).

Thanks for the video, looks like exactly what I was looking for, I will watch it later.
> That depends. Do you plan to start breeding them relentlessly until 60% of all mammals on the earth are deer? As long as you promise not to do that, we won't have a problem.

The number of cows in the world is immaterial to the stated concerns though, since it's not the number of cows that determines the amount of methane produced — it's the amount of biomass they are digesting. So if the number of cows is reduced but the amount of biomass consumed stays the same (being digested by deer, rotting in the field, etc.) there's no net impact to the methane produced.

The author and I have different definitions of morality. To the author, morality is only available for humans. However, I subscribe to Pirsig's morality, which means that I believe that atoms are moral too: Their morality is the laws of chemistry.

Viewed this way, the typical human is exhorted to "do what they want" (Pirsig's MoQ [0]) or "do what they will" (Discordianism) and the morals which the author is discussing are arbitrary cultural artifacts.

Of course, however, Pirsig's morality is neither easy nor comfortable, because it is the morality of pragmatists. To choose to do something is to choose for the effects of what one has done to be real in the world.

This process is absolutely scalable. Chemical process scaling is all about thinking outside the box for ways to achieve rearranging atoms.

Nay-Sayers should see the way we used to make formic acid (literally distilling formicae, ants) vs now (massive petrochemical plants).

Bleaching can be done with gas phase or supercritical peroxide in giant autoclaves like those used to make treated lumber.

You scale up the end result, not each individual step.

I'm not an expert but afaik we're still in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis during which virtually every country in the west contracted insane amount of debt to save their economies, and this is exactly what we're doing again right now. I have my doubt any of this will be "mostly gone" in a few years, more like we're going to pay for it over the next X generations

If you're going to say exploiting people to suffer violence with a racial bias is racism, will you at least mention that that perspective points out much more sexism? Any racial bias is smaller than the 100/0 sex difference in who gets hurt.

This sounds facetious. After all, the humble empty set is not physical either, and yet most set theorists will claim that it is Platonically real.

More generally, mathematics is a social construction, yes. The word literally means "things we teach each other", and the defining quality of mathematical facts is that they are non-obvious but can be verified for oneself without any additional help or context.

Denying the usefulness of category theory will only make theoretical physics harder. It doesn't make physics any simpler.

Edit: I was going to just link you to the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but I'll spell out the definitions explicitly instead.

A formal logic is a system with some propositions and some deductive rules. Each rule takes a (family of) propositions and sends them to new propositions, changing their syntax but not their truth. Rules may be composed associatively, and for each proposition, there is a trivial identity rule which changes nothing.

This is a category, right? So every formal logic has a corresponding category whose objects represent its propositions and whose arrows represent its rules.

A winning resume is one that gets the author into a position they are perfectly suited for, but also into an environment that perfectly suits them. And none of those are constant.

As much as people try to make resume writing science, it's anything but.

It's funny how the author focuses on how formatting and style are unimportant, but then makes a case how rewording stuff is the winning combination. None of it is substance, and there are people who'd be fooled by either, and those who'd be fooled by neither.

I'd much rather interview someone who says how "they were part of the team responsible for developing rocket engine control software" than someone who claims to have "personally created an URL shortener service that's raking in 100k a month of ad revenue". Even if that rocket engine never flew.

Perhaps the resume writer is someone who knows real stuff in brilliant teams has everyone contributing bits of brilliant ideas, and/or they are modest about their part? Or their part is brilliant in the context of the team and project, but hard to put into a sentence or two.

And sometimes, accomplishments to list are far too many.

But the key takeaway is that, like with marketing, you can use tricks to fool most people, but you are targeting your resume at different people, and each one of them might like a different thing. And they might see how you won't like their opening either, if you make the CV represent the real you (or at least not represent a fake you because CV cam hardly represent anyone).
