Why do you think that? My own intuition says that AI Control is a huge problem in the literal sense and not a metaphor at all.

My reasoning:

1. No known reason why AGI can't exist. We know our general intelligence exists, so unless there is something magic about us, AGI should be possible.

2. Engineered things can surpass biological things on specific dimensions. A jet flies faster than a bird, a crane lifts more than an elephant, car faster than cheetah, etc. If the same concept holds for intelligence, we could build something much smarter than us. Put another way, we don't know how far above us the limit of intelligence is, so there is some unknown space into which our new intelligence may fall. It could be much smarter than us.

3. Recursive self-improvement, digital copies, horizontal scaling, never getting tired, faster physical limits on computation, perfect memory - AGI may have lots of advantages over us.

4. Intelligence more powerful than our own could do anything, including taking over the world, exterminating humanity, creating a virtual hell and trapping everyone in it. The AGI may not have a motive to do so, but if it is controlled by the wrong people, the people could provide the bad motives.

5. It seems like, however far we are from the singularity, we are getting closer. Our computers continue to do more intelligent things.

6. We don't yet have a good way to control AGI if we create it.

In short, it seems like we are approaching something very dangerous and we don't know what to do when we get there. Seems like a literal problem to me.

How diverse does a diet have to be exactly? Most humans lived with a rather limited set of food choices until the industrial age. We didn't evolve to eat hundreds of different food items, and sometimes I wonder the opposite - perhaps we eat too many different things which might introduce some outliers that damage our systems.
When a dependency requires to be built with a certain toolchain, Conan can't do anything about it. At best it really only surfaces a problem that might be hidden if you were just be using pre-made builds.
Apparently I am underpaid and this must be in the valley, right? That should be standard technology for an SRE by now. I have been using Docker since 2013, and I rarely encounter developers who don't have at least basic knowledge.
Once you dive really deep into Kubernetes with service meshes etc., that's where it gets interesting.

Google doesn't need to do that. Between mozilla's management and general hard, thankless work developing browsers.

For instance, Chrome loses to Edge and Safari, on metrics like memory or power consumption.

Does that mean Apple and Microsoft have infiltrated Google Chrome team?
On their Twitter there’s video showing it getting 100W in full sunlight. That’s the equivalent to 0.5m^2 of rooftop solar. It’s just not worth the effort of putting the cells on the car.

Vitamins are determined by their biological functions, not by chemical structure. Compounds which satisfy the functions of a particular vitamin are known as vitamers of that vitamin. For example cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin are both vitamers of B12 despite being chemically distinct.

It's true that some vitamers are more easily metabolized by certain routes than others. In the example I gave, methylcobalamin is superior when it comes to oral supplements.

Also if you can, try taking a multivitamin without minerals, and take a mineral supplement separately. A lot of minerals interfere with one another's absorption along with that of many vitamins (zinc, calcium, and iron should all be taken away from each other and from vitamin supplements).
As a company that's technically true. As an individual engineer they would probably have been sneaking time to work on it and have to be a pet project of someone senior enough to get it merged and released.
What amazes me is that in 2021, the big server/desktop OSes still don't use this kind of set-up as standard. Shouldn't the norm today be each service or application running in some controlled and sandboxed environment, at a specific version of the software, with access to system resources and networking explicitly specified, and with everything other than deliberately persistent resources disposable if you want to update to a new version or remove some software from your system entirely? It seems like this would solve all kinds of long-standing problems with security, privacy, system stability, etc.

Tools like Docker might still be useful for portability even in that environment, for example if you were developing on one OS and running production on another. However, it feels like packaging/installing/updating all applications and services could be similar to how we build and manage lightweight containers/jails/VMs as developers/sysadmins. Install a package, then provide access to networking and storage and other local or remote resources as appropriate for each case.

There could still be user-friendly interfaces and app stores and all that stuff on top for non-geeks to install and update things or see what is happening if they want to. The OS and application developers could provide sensible defaults that would probably work in almost all cases for "normal" users anyway, so most of the time I wouldn't expect an average user to really be aware of what was happening under the surface.

However, it seems crazy to me that here we are with all this modern technology and we can still have basic questions about what is actually running on our laptop or even a production server, and where it came from, and how up to date it is, and whether anything still needs it to be there anyway, and whether it's secretly encrypting our files for ransom or spying on us using our webcam and uploading the footage or just nuking yesterday's work document because our favourite game's save code had a bug and overwrote a file in the wrong place.

$200 won’t even cover the cost of the electrician’s labor. And beyond just the cost of materials and labor to actually do the thing, consider the cost of the consultation on what is actually possible for a given location, the time and cost of permitting, the time involved in all the paperwork such as the drafting and filing of the plans, etc. This isn’t and informal process like some exterior facing outlet you decide to add to your home as a weekend project after looking up a YouTube video and doing a Home Depot run.

Then there’s all the aggregate costs associated with switching. Maintenance of an EV requires different skills and different tooling. Establishing new or amending existing maintenance contracts, training new mechanics or retraining old ones, rewriting guidelines, purchasing new tools and equipment, etc. Many hundreds of thousands of dollars of costs per region.

And you’re going to do that across far-flung areas of the US, many which have a current EV install base near or at zero?

They have to work to transition this across tens of thousands of locations, while not jeopardizing the delivery of hundreds of millions of pieces of mail a day. And you’re going to suggest that they NOT take a slow phased approach? To transition one of the largest fleets of vehicles in the world?

Please. Consider for a moment you may be wrong. That things are not as simple as you think. That when every single person is trying to explain why, you shouldn’t automatically attempt to find ways to dismiss or invalidate what they have to say.

Its a failure if you want a stable store of value heged against inflation, which is what gold is.

That may have been true in the past but not likely to be the case going forward.

Stable is in the eye of the beholder; over the coming years, much of the $10 trillion dollars of the gold market will flow to bitcoin.

Just in general, Bitcoin is kicking gold’s ass:

Thanks - that’s the right perspective, I agree. The question you phrased is better and more appropriate
You started out by saying:

> the only real UNIX systems available these days are illumos and xv6

And then when I ask you what makes those "real UNIX systems" you say:

> I'd say it's easiest to define what isn't: massive systems.

But I don't see how illumos doesn't count as a "massive system". Think of all the features included in illumos and its various distributions: two networking APIs (STREAMS and sockets), DTrace, ZFS, SMF, Contracts, Doors, zones, KVM, projects, NFS, NIS, iSCSI, NSS, PAM, Crossbow, X11, Gnome, IPS (or pkgsrc on SmartOS), the list just goes. illumos strictly speaking is just the kernel, and while much of the preceding is in the kernel, some of it is user space only; but, to really do an apples-to-apples comparison, we have to include the user space (OpenIndiana, SmartOS, whatever) as well. Solaris and its descendant illumos are just as massive systems as Linux or *BSD or AIX or macOS are.

I will grant you that xv6 is not a massive system. But xv6 was designed for use in operating systems education, not for production use (whether as a workstation or server). If you actually tried to use xv6 for production purposes, you'd soon enough add so much stuff to it, that it would turn into just as massive a system as any of these are.
So a car park of them would generate many kWs. Why isn’t it “worth” it... turning car parks into solar farms sounds pretty cool to me.

In many locations the charging window is going to be a lot smaller than you think with longer routes and later deliveries pushing parts of the fleet into sub-10 hour charging windows. Now you have a need to shuffle power and charging across this local fleet in the middle of the night. Who exactly is going to be doing this? If you are automating it then you are making some very large bets on the charging infrastructure being 100% reliable.

It is a problem that sounds simple at first but becomes more complex when you actually dig into the details. A fleet that is ICE-ready on day one but which can be retrofitted to EV means that you are able to deploy something that works now and pick locations to test EV and all of the details that are involved in the process by doing partial upgrades as various locations. Overall, sounds like current plan is the smart one.
Perhaps, but size of photos should affect load times when starting the app (and in my opinion, so shouldn’t most feature either, but that depends on your architecture I suppose).

In my opinion using Conan to distribute your packages really only makes sense if

- you are a very popular library, in which case you should be in the Conan Center repository

- you are in a controlled environment (company) where you host your own repository and support users with their use of it

In other cases you can still use it to manage your own dependencies but distribute your software via different means.
Because they'd barely charge themselves, let alone feed anything back into the grid?

Probably. Most people who look like women are. But some are actually closeted non-binary people or trans men. In which case calling them a lady isn't offensive, but it hurts.

After reading his deranged dribble, all the pieces came together:

After numerous occasions of him spewing his toxic delusional leftism all over GitHub's internal Slack, he was finally shown the door.

The take away is that he had enough entryist comrades internally to put the pressure on GitHub until they finally cratered and had to backtrack.

Be warned: fire activist employees early, or don't hire them at all. They will only end up costing you in the end, and will make your corporate culture a toxic cesspool.
Oh my good lord that was a serious eye-opener. I’m not American but can’t imagine it’s drastically different in the UK. I’ve lost a huge amount of money in the last year and also my car decided to die on me, I’m currently scraping together 3 grand or so to get a new one at the moment. So many people I know are struggling at the moment too. Meanwhile Jeff Bezos is probably sleeping like a baby.

And having at least a simple container to lock in dependencies and operating system. You could set one up in an hour if your application is truly so simple. Then from this container you could iterate in the future. How can you truly trust your own development environment when you aren't using docker?
They're called contraceptives or birth control pills :-)

Yes, some drugs have pretty nasty side effects, but vaccines are rather special, because their acceptance affects the entire society and vaccine safety is a sensitive topic, especially in a climate of skepticism. Undermining the idea of vaccine safety will be much worse than Covid (at least at this time).

> [all] will ultimately be lost to the chaos of the universe and that the cumulative impact of everything I’ve ever done is utterly inconsequential.

What would be the alternative? An universe where our changes are more "permanent"? Ignoring the paradoxes that entails would it really make them more consequential or just more lasting? It would be completely subjetive, just like is subjetive to believe something matters even if it ends in a few years down the line.
NFT's that aren't just images could be valuable. I had a friend doing TikTok but with a NFT animated assets store. That makes sense! I could see it become popular some day, and then we'd see if Apple, Disney, Blizzard / everyone decide to jump in.
remacs is dead, they don't accept merge requests. For some reason they did not find it reasonable to mention this in the README, so sometimes potential contributors arrive and do unnecessary work until someone tells them it's "stalled".

That asymmetry enables toxicity. And volume will make it a matter of time until arbitrary toxic things eventually show up.

Yeah, it's much better now. the usual setup on Linux is dotnet 5, which ships with F# compiler and REPL, VS Code and the Ionide plug in.
Regarding community activity: I think there‘s a lot going on, I had no problem to write my weekly update for my blog (https://linmob.net) for 37 times now and I have trouble testing and adding all the software projects to http://appl.ist).

Like everything these days, the active community seems to be more scattered, while PINE64 has a forum, this not really the central place Maemo.org seemed to be (I could not afford a N900 at the time). There are multiple subreddits, Twitter, the fediverse, chat rooms (and all the distributions have their own channels) – all this makes it hard to make sure to not miss out.

True. Much better to just not generate any power so that they don’t charge themselves at all and don’t feed anything to the grid.
That's enough for a lot of car use cases. And more cases if you do this in combination of a top up charge every once in a while.

As far as I can tell there have been no genocides or similar going on in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya.

But there were/are in Ruanda, Darfur, maybe Yemen today.

I didn't yet see them intervene in the right problem on the right side (e.g., Yemen).

Happy to learn about good examples here...

So I made this little python library to download those thumbnail sized preview frames that are shown when you hover the cursor over a YouTube video player's progress bar.

This can be useful for many things, but the idea is that there's a lot of computer vision problems that require processing a massive amount of internet videos. In these cases, the bottleneck is usually not the algorithm itself but instead it's retrieving the videos in the first place. In those cases, downloading these thumbnail frames may help you solve these problems.
Hey me again, just checking out buyey.jp in order to order some stuff as well, so this is not just a freight-forwarder but an agent, means they do the actual buy of the product on the respective merchant sites such as Yahoo Auction etc.

It really depends on the species. For most mushrooms I wouldn't go beyond 5g. Suggesting 12 or even 24g to me sounds like suggesting to drink 12 or 24 bottles of wine at the same time (if I think of the type of mushrooms I often took. For truffles maybe that's ok).
Back in the early days of mobile number portability the majority of telcos put in systems to make porting out harder, e.g. getting an unlock code. This gave them a chance to keep the customer when they called up.

Regulators (particularly in Europe) soon put a stop to that to promote competition. While this was good, the majority of regulators failed to put in a consumer protection mechanism to stop identity theft through account stealing.

The article describes a more insiduous attack, as the mobile account is still active (hiding the existence of the attack from the user), but the message destination has been rerouted, making all the linked accounts that use SMS as their 2FA also vulnerable.

True, but you can easily predict when it’s intentionally misleading, there’s still chance of being wrong but people have been burnt too many times by this type of website (usually owned by media holding companies) that it’s safe to assume bad intentions.
You'd think the government could build their own turbotax and let everyone use that for free. I assume a good/simple version would make people more likely to pay their taxes correctly and the profit off of that would more than cover the expense of making it.

Of course, in reality, I know the government would botch it. Still, the system seems really bad.
> We use docker for almost everything, and it’s a lifesaver.

While we're sharing anecdotes, we are using Docker for a part of our CI pipeline, and it's the only thing that constantly breaks for some reason.
As someone who has been on both sides of the problem I think something thats really important is making sure you write down notes after you received help and at the very least make sure you searched the code and documentation for relevant information. Its frustrating when you take time to write documentation or code comments and they are blatantly ignored.
I wouldn't be worried at that point. Actual black blobs are very rare in nature and we would certainly notice them during periods when there is some light. Now, nights when they are parked is good example when likely good reflectors need to be mandated.
Really? We have over 200 years of vaccine use in public health programmes to control contagious disease. The most effective medical treatment humanity has ever devised. That has completely eliminated some of the most transmissible and debilitating diseases on the planet. Go and read a book on the subject, it's not like it's secret arcane knowledge. Reducing transmissibility is a basic (and bloody obvious) consequence of acquired immunity. If a vaccinated individual is reinfected, then compared to an unvaccinated individual the time to eliminate the virus is greatly reduced and the window of transmissibility is greatly reduced.
it literally is OK if you dont, because its not written for C++ programmers, its written for compiler people, and, frankly, those are witches.

The Bowline is definitely the only knot to learn if you have to choose just one.

There are 3 (that I know of) different ways to tie it that are worth learning as a next step. One of them lets you prepare it so you can quickly tie it around something and have it invert on itself to form. Another technique actually revels that the bowline is the same as a sheet bend, just using one line folded back on itself to make a loop instead of 2 lines joined. So that’s a freebie (and the sheet bend is a great knot).

It’s super versatile.

I never use the reef knot anymore. Lost a dingy in Greece because I trusted it for about 5 minutes. I find it works itself free really easily.
Actually I think these guys sound more like Bowlton.
I remember replacing some functions like this in a codebase I used to work on about twenty years ago. The senior dev at the time had to add them back a day or two later whe the site totally broke for IE users after a couple of minutes.
