I claim that it's possible to design cargo ships and planes to be driven by anyone with short training compareable to driving license.

It all comes down how much you want to invest for being as safe as possible from accidents. Cost of cargo ship or plane accident is very high and there is no valuable reasons(?) why everyone should be able to drive those vehicles. Therefore it makes sense that those vehicles are driven by professionals and are designed for professionals.

If your server has millions of users and it provide such value that down time is not an options, maintaining such server should be done by professionals and maintenance tools should be designed for professionals.

However thats not case for every server and cost of failing "empty" server is basicly zero (unlike empty cargo plane).

I think it would be interesting to see software designed around not centralized servers, not PCs, but PSs = Personal Servers where user data lives on their own servers and services only link and communicate between them.

You’d need to run a double blinded randomizes controlled trial with enough patients to test the effect.

And it would be wildly unethical to use prayer which by any reasonable understanding of cancer biology would not work.
When I was a physicist, people adept of "alternative" things (telepathy, telekinesis, ...) were all saying that we are closed minded and that we do not let anything outside of what we know to be brought to light.

As I mentioned in a comment in the past, I had the chance to be a regular on the radio (90's) and said several times that I officially announced that I will switch the topic of my PhD thesis the moment when someone shows me a physical event that I cannot explain.

Oh boy, I saw my fair share of lunatics and fanatics, I spend nights in haunted houses, with children whose parents claim they have telekinesis capabilities etc.

Unfortunately, I did not switch, ended up with a standard PhD instead of the Nobel-yielding one about telekinesis or homeopathy.

To the people who were saying that we do not want to look at anything outside our comfort zone, I told an old joke:

"John was constantly praying to his god to let him win at the lottery. Day after day, he was praying and praying.

Then one day he saw a bright light and a loud voice said

JOHN, GIVE ME AN OPPRTUNITY, BUY A TICKET!!"

This is more or less this: show something unusual, please!
Hindi as a link language is a non-starter, unless people in North Indian states also learn South Indian languages.

To simply understand this point, forcing exclusive use of Hindi in Central government institutions gives an undue advantage to people from North India.

You mention in principle, but in practice the opposite happens. I am an East Indian who has spent all his life in South India I speak both Hindi and a South Indian language along with my native tongue. When North Indians come to South India, and stay for a long time a majority of them refuse to learn the local language whereas every South Indian who has spent time in the North picks up Hindi.
You’ve been bribed. Everything you just described is unethical in my companies I’ve worked at.

Except you can't do that. The problem is Google has no idea that this is where the documents/e-mails went. All they can see is that a large number of documents and e-mails were sent outside of Google. I can't imagine Google would say, well it's okay if you take the law into your own hands. Any lawyer should be able to send a note telling Google to preserve the files for potential litigation. And given that she seems to have people sympathetic to her cause, it's unlikely that Google would be able to make all documents and e-mails she thinks are supportive of her case disappear.

Now, I can see if she wanted to take a few key e-mails out because any lawsuit needs some evidence or it might be quashed in summary judgement. So maybe that's what she thought she was doing, but it sounds like she grabbed a lot more than that. I would also really be wary of this because people can get death threats when e-mail that they thought was company internal are leaked out. I wouldn't be surprised that a bunch of e-mails will make it into a lawsuit with the people's names on them. Anyone knows that lawsuits can easily take an e-mail out of context to make it say something that is changed by the context around it. Even worse, company internal e-mails probably have a tremendous amount of internal company information.

There is no way that any company will just shrug and go, well if you sent it to yourself and your lawyer, then that it's okay that you might have sent out company secrets.

Depends where you look. Plenty of hardware devices use Qt as their UI. Modern Mercedes-Benz and Ford cars, LG TVs UI, stuff like the Remarkable tablet or th Telegram chat app... The nice thing being that you can test the UI on whatever OS you're running. Also, i18n on the web ? Come on. It's terrible when compared to Qt tooling

Because these features are not that important. Since the whole thing is basically pyramid funded inflation, it's about what people think the value is devoid of any tangible benefits the thing might actually provide.

Also note there is BTC and there is everything else. You should analyze them differently. i.e. BTC may reach PMF, the rest are likely relegated to fade from most people's minds

I think the difference lies between harm and disagreement. How can it work? I don't know or have all the answers, as I've never even seen community accountability in action at a small local scale.

This highlights to me the importance of learning how to do this stuff.
I worked in a job where people developed very similar Qt and Electron apps, in both cases it was a one person effort and the development took about the same time.
You might think you're making fun of Linguistics, but your quip merely demonstrates your gap in knowledge. Linguistics and AI are heavily related.
Forget about simulation. We do not have answers to basic questions how consciousness works in real world. For example, we have no idea how what we perceive as time flow appears, we do not know why many/most people feel that they have free will when equations of physics are fully determined.

It's curious that number of (simulated) universes is countable (there was mention if aleph-0): just like human mind has to start from some assumption (witness axioms in the most formal of fields: mathematics), it's hard for a human mind to move from countable numbers to infinity calculus.
Ironically OSM is the opposite. The hobbyist mappers do bus routes and admin boundaries and mountain trails and all manner of complex stuff. The corporate mappers are really just interested in the most basic element: drivable roads.
Well I will start with the claim that "my every sentence is incorrect" was not completely true. There is some credence to the drug trade one.But the other claims are definitely spurious.Let me start with the most obvious one, Communists in urban areas are generally Marxist-Lenninst followers. They spend their time reading a lot of Das Capital and The Communist Manifesto, Mao's writings are not respected in these circles (Castro and Stalin are respected somehow).

Naxals are the followers of Mao, no doubt. But urban communits in general don't think highly of Mao at all. They only think of protesting and disobedience . They may have some overlapping causes.

Calling all communists as naxals is lazy and sloppy thinking.

Naxalites are a mix of goons and insurgents who loosely care about communist beliefs. They used to be most prevalent in lawless and hinterland areas,nowadays their influence is a lot less.

Source :- Briefly dated a communist.

Don't care about communism. But believe that if it has to be opposed,understand it.

But the fact is the term urban naxals is a meaningless pjeroative used against those who hold opinions different from the current Indian government.

It is even used against those who don't believe in communism at all.
It's also a strange take. The author compares Mastodon to Twitter like Mastodon is a company. It's an open-source software project. If you want to 'play the social media game' just setup your own Mastodon node or any of the other open-source social media platforms.

Accounts at central banks might make taxation easier for governments, especially if other current (and possibly savings) accounts at normal banks would be banned.

Also it would be easier for governments to select policies based on someones income. E.g. tax high income people more and provide financial benefits for low income people.

Also a universal basic income would be easier to implement if every citizen has only a single account at a central bank.
My high school experience sounds somewhat similar to your second school. It was a large public high school in Southern California in the 1970s with about equal numbers of black, Anglo white, Hispanic, and East Asian students from lower-class and middle-class backgrounds. The school was unexceptional academically, and it did have problems, including gang activity (Crips and Bloods), racial tension, and drug and alcohol abuse among the students. But I don’t remember any of the emotional, social-hierarchy-based bullying that I have since read about at other high schools. I wonder if that might have been due to the size and diversity of the student population.
I don't agree. I've tried those and many other options and never found anything that provided a consistent advantage. The best physical advantage probably comes from good sleep and exercise.
If everything is simulated, and there is infinite number of simulated realities, as simulation is only reflection of possible reality - then maybe what is simulated continues to live in reality regardless of being switched off as just infinite number of realities that exist always at the same time.
That's one view all the reductionists gladly use. I do not disagree with this, but you need to also take into accounts numerous events all throughout the human existence, where this apparent "emergent property" breaks all the realms of so called "reality" and lets one witness something which, subjectively, seems above the simulation.

Maybe it is in an emergent property, but maybe it emerges not just due to the complexities of an individual being, but something else which is just missing from our current understanding and we don't know about.
This reminds me of a quote:

"Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats."
-Howard H. Aiken
I think what you're speaking to is the result of a lack of normalized practices actually oriented toward accountability and healing, rather than shaming, canceling, mobbing, etc.

I'm not even saying I know how to do it. I think the current environment is an indicator of a greater need for true accountability and not the theater of "justice."

I'd also say outrage mobs are the direct result of people confusing themselves with who is angering themselves. Many adults I know still insist it is other people who make them angry, instead of it being themselves who use the stimulus of others' actions to anger themselves. We need better EQ/CQ education and what you're highlighting points directly to it.
Of course, it would just seem that (and this is in answer to another of the replies to my question, too) if you don’t find emergentism persuasive, then you also have to reject the simulation theory (?)
> It's that it's been extensively shown not to work

This is going off-topic, but I really think it depends on your definition of "not to work".

If people essentially throw in low-cost placebos to cure themselves of headaches and other minor ailments, while believing that this is exactly what they need, I consider this a net-positive for society compared to giving them actual medication that costs more with potential side-effects/harms.

Obviously, the fun ends when quacks prescribe homeopathy for serious stuff that needs actual treatment (in Germany, there was a case a few years ago where such a quack tried to treat his wife's breast cancer - obviously, this is beyond what should be legal). But for minor things that aren't too big of an issue even if left untreated, letting people use homeopathy if they're into that - why not.
There’s some truth in that, but famously the first corporate mapping flare-up in OSM was when Facebook utterly screwed up Thailand.

These guys now have godlike powers. Most stories that start there quickly move to how such power corrupts those who have it, or at the very least separate them from their humanity. Either that or a government agency figure it out (how? That could be interesting) and plays the part of the antagonist / devil.

These guys seem nice, and surprisingly already mentioned ethical implications early, so their corruption might take longer or develop along unexpected paths.

The aspect where exercising various powers requires coding time first could lead to some fun race-against-time scenarios. I do wish the featureless sphere had been a utah teapot instead.

I think leaving it at that point was the right choice for the story. But if I were to speculate what a continuation might look like it would involve Diane having planned all this all along to put right some tremendous wrong that happened to her and she is manipulating Tim in some way.

> If it's bright, the rods and cones send no signal, if it's dark, they send a strong signal. It's inverted. There's apparently a very good reason for this but I don't remember what it is.

The reason is to prevent light fatigue in eyes. Ears and nose experience a quick fatigue when exposed to the same stimulant for a long time. With inverted arrangement in eyes, you have a naturally stimulated inhibition rather than a fatigue inhibition.
You'll never get a straight answer. Cryptocurrency fans love huffing their own farts too much to actually give a salient explanation for this.

Proof of work does a good job contributing to increasing problems with global warming and wreaking havoc on the computer hardware market.

There's talk about major cryptocurrencies switching to proof of stake. Good luck on that, because the current powers that be would hate to see their cash cow affected.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. A bunch of early adopters are getting VERY rich because everyone else is FOMOing hardcore. That's never a good reason to buy into this charade.

Our species is so greedy, we will do whatever it takes to fuck everyone else and get ours, I guess. We created a monster. I wish we could own up to it before it's too late.
Not sure about hoarding specifically, but depression can definitely cause similar outcomes. It usually causes a lack of motivation, resulting in many consequences ranging from procrastination up to neglect of personal hygiene and of course keeping things tidy. Pair this with a potential shopping addiction or something in that vein and the differences start to blur.
I disagree. "Meet my three impossible demands or I'll quit" is not clearly "not initiating my departure".
I've had similar experiences. Inwas referring to the parent arguing that using Results and error enums to debug your own code is silly when you could just step backwards in a debugger. In my experience the rust debugging story isn't fluid enough that it's better than logging to debug most logic bugs.
The way I see it, so much about this hassle seems to point towards some fundamental misunderstanding about what their job was - that perhaps they believed, like you say, that their job was to call out the company and others on AI ethics issues, but that the management who formed and funded that team believed that their job was something else - I think that what Google wanted from that team was to do research on applied methods on how to make the models less biased and on process improvements on how to deploy them in a more ethical manner - i.e. to work on technical solutions to mitigate the ethical problems they identify, to enable Google to achieve the same goals through ML but with less ethical "side-effects" so to speak.

For a specific example, I presume Google would be happy if the team produced methods that help facial recognition generalize better to different ethnic groups, or methods that identify what specific gaps in training data should be filled to cover a diverse target audience; but apparently did not consider highlighting problems where the only solution is "don't deploy such models" and social activism goals as their intended job.

So when the push came to shove, this misalignment of goals had to be addressed; either by one or another changing their goals (which seems to have been unacceptable for both Google and Timnit&co) or by firing/quitting.
What if the double-slit experiment is nothing but a bug in the simulator's code ?

If so: either we found an exploit or we're building an entire complex theory (QM) to explain a mistake ...
Those are not arguments and not a proper debate (which is something that has quite codified rules due to people studying that for 2000+ years about what constitutes or not a correct argument - see this to look what aren't : https://iep.utm.edu/fallacy/#H6).

Do you really not study that in school ? This is scary
It's so hard for people to let go of an idea. I remember reading about how a lot of Einstein's later ideas came from him trying to disprove Quantum theory, and that it takes ~50 years for a big idea to be accepted. ie, as you say, it's never accepted.

If we are to believe the memo that Google wrote about their investigation for firing her, then it seems pretty cut and dry. Either she should have tried going through official channels first, then be smart in her own investigation, or google is lying.

The truth is probably somewhere in between.
I think this leans into the cookie cutter self help trends too much. Especially in the tech demographic, there seems to be this idea of a one way path to productivity. Things like meal prepping, a strict workout regimen and a generally strict structured routine are being pitched as the quick and simple remedy to being “unproductive”.

To me, turning yourself into an efficiency robot is a recipe for disaster. I think instilling this need to always reach a higher level of output is going to have an opposite effect that makes people more stressed, especially with this idea that fun=bad.

Also I don’t think people can work solely using external motivation as the author seems to suggest.

“When something is boring, ask yourself: Why do I need to do this? Find and reinforce the why behind the work.”

If you consistently don’t enjoy doing something, it might be a sign you should be doing something else.
