As a UK national overseas I don't know pains of calling up anywhere, and for sure there will be pains for many in varied forms, but find gov.uk consistently excellent from personal affairs to running a business. While not applicable as gov.uk does everything I need, surely channels exist for those than cannot, or unable, to use it?

Or instead of analyzing the model we could analyze the training data for biases. Most bias comes from data.
Yep, my wife and I each have separate checking accounts that are basically our own allowances, set up with an automatic recurring transfer every month. We're fortunate enough to have enough financial security to do this.
All three are possible now with federated social networks, which are networks in the true sense and not just single websites calling themselves networks.
This article did not age well. Ouch.
Dev mode on any kind of frontend framework sacrifices bundle size for developer productivity. I've never worked on a Tailwind project that ended up with a CSS file larger than 11kb in production for a whole website, and that's what ultimately matters.
I map it to escape. I find using the caps lock key as a modifier to be too awkward, I prefer the position of the control key for that. Escape being all the way up at the top left is much more of an inconvenience. I don’t remap the original escape key to caps lock, though, I have xkb set to trigger caps lock by pressing both shift keys.

There are NO laptops that are OSHA approved.

The ergonomics of a laptop will hurt you little by little.

The screen is low, so you look down, meaning your back and shoulder muscles are used to hold your head in position instead of balancing it on your neck

Generally, a laptop keyboard is positioned at the wrong height. It usually on a table (maybe for eating) which is higher so your arms do not hang down with your elbows at a right angle. You are probably holding your arms in position with muscles.

The keyboard generally has a hard plastic or metal wrist rest which is low and probably cold. It would be much better to have your hands supported by something soft and warm and which puts your wrists and hands in the right relationship with the keys.

Now this all changes (not necessarily for the better) if you say sit on the couch or in bed. I will not cover other rooms in the house. On the other hand, you can take your laptop outside and get some vitamin D.

So yeah, desktop.

So, you're saying a company is asking if anyone is proficient at a language that Google has never heard of?
Portland OR gets a lot of tech conference businesses because it has a lot of techies and it’s affordable compared to any other city on the west coast (only Vancouver BC comes close). I seem to attend a conference or meeting there once every 2 years or so.
The people pushing the idea absolutely do pretend it is not controversial. It is "just the right thing to do", " any good person would do it", "it is just being decent" these are the sorts of justifications for it so as to frame it as noncontroversial.
Maybe then we will have finally got them all and declare the war on terrorism officially over!!
The memory models that underlie programming languages
Not directly related to the SSL part, but I have a question about how the work on AI is going.
- Why are we even trying to create an AGI when we have no idea how it will turn out?
- AI in day to day functions can be useful and I'm all for that but what is the point of even trying to give the AI self-awareness?
One could make a similarly long list of poorly understood concepts in psychology.

+1 for Doom. I tried spacemacs for a while but didn't find it enjoyable. Doom was exactly what I needed and now I don't use anything else.
Cryptokittens were pretty popular too, for a while.
As a side effect, then those people will be living in a country that already has laws against this kind of thing...

You know, because of the... unpleasantness.

But no worries, you go ahead with what you're doing, UK. Good job. Maybe IBM can offer some technical experience in this area.
While the terminal example is valid, the physical location of the Ctrl key is much better for access. Tucking your thumb under your hand to execute a pincer-like movement for the very common copy/paste commands is awkward and annoying.

Apple should've put the Command key where the "fn" key is.

But the worst thing about Apple keyboards: NO GODDAMNED DELETE KEY. Apple inexplicably offers only a Backspace key mislabeled "delete." WTF? Every other vendor manages to put a proper Delete key on even the smallest keyboards.

I don't backspace things away when I want to delete them. Retarded, Apple. And they had ample opportunity to fix this with the obsolescence of the Eject key... but no. And you couldn't even remap Eject to be Delete, because again inexplicably Apple put a HARDWARE DELAY on that key for some reason. Were people killed by accidentally ejecting a CD-ROM? And if so, why didn't they make Eject a secondary function... on a Delete key?

Oh, and then there's the idiotic default behavior of the Mac Home and End keys. I pretty much NEVER want to go to the beginning or end of a document, but very very frequently want to go to the end of a line.
I agree with you personally. But find that not everyone wants to communicate clearly. Some people have made a career out of impenetrable communication.
The column is called "One of Our Fifty is Missing." People report trying to fly from Florida to NM and being told they need a passport and have to talk to a supervisor with a map before they can get home, etc.
Unless you can harvest interstellar medium at scale stars are where most mass is locked up, conveniently in a single place even. Outer belt objects are quite small in volume in comparison and inconveniently far from each other.
High risk models should work with humans in the loop, not autonomous.
Isn't that just the same as splitting any file into multiple chunks? Why does the archive format have to know about it? For non-solid compression? Otherwise, any file can be split up and re-combined at the other end, unless you don't have the hard drive space to recombine it.

The only way I've seen RAR used in torrents is to package everything into one big file, and since they're usually video or audio that already has lossy compression, and since I may want to prioritize or skip certain files, it's both pointless and annoying.
Google could just sign a proof-of-purchase. There's no particular benefit to putting the proof on a blockchain.
Playwright is the Microsoft one yeah?

That's the best one. Of all the browser automators, playwright is the best. Never had a wait fail or anything like that. maybe I just got lucky, but if you're looking to do something with browser automation, try Playwright first, then look elsewhere
Yes, yes that is exactly what they will do. Shareholders and lobbyists be damned.
Elon said so on Twitter. Google will probably find it for you.
Right. The point is mass produced consumer devices we're familiar with have different constraints than a power grid so most people's existing familiarity with low cost retail batteries isn't all that relevant.

For instance Lithium–air batteries have about the energy density of oil but comes with loads of problems that make them currently impractical for consumer devices. There's fewer hurdles however in making it power station ready.

Same thing with liquid electrodes research. There could be large reservoirs that are on multiday flow cycles for capacity smoothing.

It's like comparing a drainage pipe to a hydropower river dam, it's fundamentally a different problem space
These are terrible names too.
So it can handle the strategy of making sure no one else makes one which is more harmful. :P

But as a serious answer: of course, there is no major economic use of trying to make sure it has an internal subjective experience, but that’s not what people are aiming for when referring to AGI.
The goal is that it be able to accomplish general tasks and goals.
Like, what can you do with it? Everything you can do at all.
That’s what people are aiming at.
What tasks of reasoning and planning could a person do for you? An AGI would, basically by definition, be able to do those same kinds of things.
(Of course, something could be an AGI but not as intelligent as a typical human, so long as it could still reason about all the same kinds of things. But at that point it would presumably just be a question of scaling things up.)

US companies also copied the IBM 360. RCA did, perhaps others.

US companies also copied the IBM 370. I used a far superior clone computer called the Itel AS/5. Much of the hard work was actually trivial because:

ALD's were Automated Logic Diagrams. IBM sold these. They were complete schematics for the S-370. EXSYSCO basically duplicated the logic of the S-370. http://www.silogic.com/NAS/NAS.html

These schematics were freely available in the machine room. I remember perusing them at night when things were slow. Microcode listings were also freely available. (I believe a large part of IBM's openness at the time was because of antitrust litigation).

I also remember seeing the Itel engineers using the IBM schematics when debugging problems.

Betcha it's Xilinx today, or a branch of Analog, or something like that. You get the idea.
You seem to have a knack for finding problems and solving them. Maybe you’d find happiness in helping others learn how to do this? Perhaps teach kids, or find some way to give back to the communities that gave you the opportunities to get to where you are.

A lot of people have found that “stuff” just doesn’t charm as much as they thought it would. And serving others or some greater goal can help you find a deeper meaning to life.

Or try meditating! It can be a lot of things, but one thing it is reliably is a way to feel more comfortable in the moment — to just be content in the here and now.
I'm always heavily skeptical of anyone who has a take like this without actually trying it properly. It's basically:

"I am fortunate to have barely scratched the surface of the tool, missed important details of how it works, and not used it in the situations where it becomes a lot more valuable."

The first week or two of using Tailwind is indeed awkward and a bit frustrating, but after that it's like a switch clicks and 3x productivity is unlocked. Especially if other devs are working on the codebase, or will need to in the future.

Data Double Dipping: When Companies Mine Paying Customers
A quantum gravity theory might not use the vocabulary of curvature or the tensor fields and scalar objects found in the Einstein Field Equations of General Relativity, but that's not quite the same as "doesn't have to explain curvature".

For the theory to be viable it would have to explain why General Relativity is such a good effective theory at solar system scales. One can do this by treating General Relativity as a theory which emerges in some limit of the more fundamental theory of gravitation (or everything). One can compare that with how Newtonian gravitation emerges from General Relativity as one takes c to infinity, or as one takes v^2/c^2 (where c is usually set to one; one can likewise expand in other small parameters) to zero. The first is the basis for the first section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Newtonian_expansion The second section has more explanatory power: Newtonian gravitation emerges from General Relativistic systems when multipole moments are small and the distance to the sources is large.

The key to the success of General Relativity compared to many of its competitors is that it very straightforwardly produces the Newtonian solution for the well-studied orbits of the Jovian system, while explaining the anomaly in the precession of Mercury's orbit.

One would have to be able to show conditions in the new theory in which General Relativity emerges (and for which General Relativity has observational support), or the theory is not going to get much practical use in astrophysics or GPS-style engineering, even if it appears to get the microscopic details right. Practically[1] nobody -- there are several serious contenders like Loop Quantum Gravity -- who has developed an alternative theory of gravitation (or everything) has been able to show at all that General Relativity emerges from it.

Lastly, because we don't have the technology to probe the quantum gravitation sector directly, but we do have the technology to probe General Relativity very finely (such is the topic of the article), I can't see how a failure to explain General Relativity's results can do anything but undermine quantum gravity candidates.

- --

[1] People have proposed turning various constants into spacetime-dependent functions, and find that such adjustments can solve some things but generally have to vanish practically everywhere, so such theories are not viable. Among these are Palatini and others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F(R)_gravity and Brans-Dicke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brans%E2%80%93Dicke_theory. These families of theories usually show how General Relativity could emerge, but further investigation almost always shows that the parameters or features that distinguish these theories from General Relativity are incompatible with observation and so must vanish.
It is delightful to see the love of discovery and exploration unfold around an electronic dream: "What if I do X, Y, or Z?"

Where do people go to put their darlings to the test? Is there a place these radical designs compete to satisfy more than a personal curiosity posed as a "what if?" Some sort of Homebrew derby?
I realized what it was like right after I wrote this commend, anniversary of Fukushima. I didn't think it was a conspiracy (come on, we've talked a few times, I hope you don't think I'm a conspiracy guy). Just was trying to figure out what caused the abnormal uptick and this makes a lot of sense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBC_Void

"an immense, comparatively empty region of space...proposed to be roughly spherical, approximately 2 billion light-years in diameter. As other voids, it is not completely empty but contains the Milky Way, the Local Group, and a larger part of the Laniakea Supercluster. The Milky Way is within a few hundred million light-years of the void's center."

A void has by "working definition" "less than one tenth of the average density of matter abundance that is considered typical for the observable universe."

> You should know that "if I'm successful at this level, I will need this kind of infrastructure" before the problems appear, and not be caught by surprise and react in a hush. (Granted that reacting in a hush will probably happen anyway, but it shouldn't be surprising.)

What's the ROI on spending time on planning for that, given that you acknowledge that the response will be mess anyway? In my experience companies that planned for scaling don't handle it noticeably better than companies that didn't plan for it, so maybe it's better not to bother?
This is why I Love and lurk around in HN.

Not only that, but the OVH load balancer (API gateway) is enormously much cheaper at 2TB of traffic than AWS and they don't charge for the amount of requests.

>Are you suggesting I don't know how to use a mute button?

Yes, I am, because you literally said:

>The "mute" button status does reflect whether you are actually muted!!!

The mute button absolutely indicates whether or not you're muted, and I can tell you across hundreds of webex sessions with thousands of people, nobody once has claimed they muted themselves without actually being muted. It turns out if that's happening, and you can so easily prove it, you could actually sue Cisco for millions of dollars and win. That actually happened to them back when they turned on video by default and didn't let you know in the early 2000s.

>The ONE MONTH OUTAGE that WebEx suffered a while back

Nobody would consider 3 years "a while back". And you didn't actually provide a citation. And I actually can't find anywhere on the entire internet a recorded log of webex being down for a month in 2018. I was using webex in 2018, there was no month long outage.

>Yeah, that's WebEx Teams. It's what we've been using since 2018 and is 99.9% of my WebEx experience.

So... you didn't actually have to download the webex version for presentations? Because that's built into Teams.

Indie.vc shutting down is news to me. Did their model not work out?
It goes both ways. Once I was booking trip to San Jose. Flight was surprisingly expensive (but who cares, season variations and such. anyway it's work trip) but what gave me a pause, it's that cars were dirt cheep compared to usual.
After poking around, turned out that I was booking trip to San Jose, Costa Rica instead of San Jose, California.
Self-supervised learning is very promising. But it is strange to me that so much computer vision research has no mention of the 3d structure of objects.

Yes, exactly. Your battery that is in your phone that dies after 2 years of use is the main driver of battery innovation. If you quick draw from these your battery will light on fire (no joke, please don't test because lithium fires are not good, even if you manage to put it out... i.e. let it burn).

I feel the same. I'm also sharing with family and none of us hardly watches anything on it, just once in a while is there something interesting to watch. Thought about continuing it only to support the company but might reconsider that decision unless they do something about that poor content library. I'm using Mubi for great cinema and honestly I find a lot more interesting movies/documentaries to watch there.

Whoops, I searched for dupes before posting but was searching by URL.
I preferred Windows over the Mac by far, and worked as a developer on Windows for over a decade and a half. Then I had to start using Macs.

The state of the Windows UI now is a disgrace. Its design defects and lack of organization confound users of every expertise level, and its defects make every task a day-ruining ordeal.

Microsoft even took away one UI facility that always made it superior to the Mac: user-definable color schemes. WTF? I was using my own "dark mode", a charcoal color scheme, since the early '90s. Now I challenge you to find the color-scheme editor in Windows. Just as everyone finally realized that inverse color schemes are stupid, Microsoft started forcing one on you.

And it doesn't look like Microsoft has any inclination to overhaul its failed mess. But really, what motivation do they have? Who uses Windows now who doesn't have to do so for work, using some specific software?

Even Visual Studio, which I held out as the gold standard for IDEs, suffers from the same dumb defects it did 25 years ago. They were tolerable then, but now everyone else has caught up and surpassed it. Even Xcode.
