Those Aliens wont be interested in humans or in this planet. US did more than 1200 nuclear tests, RU more than 900, FR hundreds others etc. Main thing climat change, animal extinction species die, 70% of forrests gone. This is aftermath of nuclear testing.
So what these aliens could do here? Planet is getting warm. Hummanity wont reach space travel only "maybe" but all world in 2050 will use electric cars. Sounds not so realistic.
Aliens will show up to kill humans and dig coil? Dig gold for chips? But wait.. he is right Aliens can bargue with China and those will build starships for aliens. They can do that all they need are blueprints. LoL
I simply know many streaming services which obviously don't comply with such protectionism, yet are allowed to exist.

Does Youtube count as a streaming service? What of last.fm which does need to often comply with radio laws I believe.

The way I see it; if such laws were really consistently enforced then many things that exist would not be allowed to exist, and it seems to be more a matter of deciding not to enforce them based on the rather arbitrary criterion of “Do we want this service to stop existing or not?”.

And who is to decide what “Canadian culture” is, and when it is “promoted”? — the way I see it, such laws must be incredibly inconsistently enforced.
One is a subset of the other. Compression being the larger category.

A mean is a compression of a dataset and useful information.

My issue in my comment is that 'compression' corresponds to a massive class of technquies
and there isnt a lot of content in the observation that useful information is compressive.

However there is some hypey people out there who think this observation has legs. Precisely the people who think intelligence is a mathematical problem, and not an engineering one -- which is my view.

ie., that a body isnt incidental to intelligence, but the heart of it.

> As a European, this article is the degree of pretentious, market-driven, and stupid, that fits perfectly with the Economist.

Almost every time I read an article from The Economist I see that many of their arguments are founded on false premises which are (usually) trivial to fact-check. I really don't get why this publication gets posted here on HN so often.

>3. Germans have by and large quit smoking.

I'm not sure how long ago you were in the US, but it was ubiquitous here a couple generations ago, and the shift away from smoking seems to be a global trend associated with wealth - in Mainland china, I see much less of the younger generation smoking nowadays.

I was in Berlin recently and can attest to the English signage anecdote though, even if your experience seems to be an exaggerated version of mine.
I think the Australian experiment in gun policy is pretty telling. It doesn't prove these policies work and have a major effect, but it sure is as compelling an argument as you can make.
It solves memory problems and certainly doesn't shoot your foot with destructors, weird moves and so on like C++, it lacks a garbage collector which imho is a big plus (though, as C# and Java show it is not necessarily a big problem), and I prefer the trait system over than Cxx's virtual classes/interfaces. I also like that the compiler is very helpful, it introduces some friction while writing, but I suppose that is my lack of expertise.

It is; ive just skim read a paper.

Though, One trivial way to do it, with NNs in any case, is just to project forward from a range of observer models and guess the observer parameters from them.

This is still the wrong sense of generalisation. What cant be guessed is why a person took consecutive pictures at given angles/etc.

Such information is necessary to resolve deep ambiguities in cases where your observer model will fail.

Eg., yesterday i looked out my window and thought i saw two people;
it was actually one with a shadow+bag.

I moved my eyes/head/body in such away so as to fit a variety of models and i was able to 'read the scene' in the end.

That is comprehension.
But five million is not "a tiny country". It's the fourth decile or so. It's slightly larger than Los Angeles in population and apparently Los Angeles homicide rate has oscillated in the 5.0-6.3 per 100k region between 2010 and 2019, with annual ±10% fluctuations. That's way less than ±50% that you expect for the same population.
My daughter just bought one, and it is amazing. Responsive, great looking screen, and by far the best camera of any non-[D]SLR device I've ever seen.

>Compression is a necessary but not sufficient condition for 'comprehension'.

Actually, algorithmic information theory shows that maximum compression necessarily entails maximum comprehension, because the only way to maximally compress something is to exactly understand the process producing it.
Isn't the percentage of non religious rising globally? We can't really ever converge into one way or another since the distribution of intelligence among population will always be the same. Some people will need religion and some people will need rationalism. As long as we have religious freedom the only thing that will change is converging from imposed religious declaration to real/actual one
Gigaset - German. I don't know exactly if they let them build in China, but they claim it's "Made in Germany"
So exactly what do you mean by tiny?

If Norway had the same homicide rate as the whole of the US in 2019 (as it doesn't seem they've release the 2020 ones yet), according to the FBI[1] the homicide rate in the US was 5.0 murders per 100,000 people. Norway has a population of 5.4 million.

So for Norway, that would have been 270.

Does that seem like a fluctuation?

You're severely misrepresenting the facts as your figures are out by two orders of magnitude.

I learned this back in school, when the previous years students had laid new Ethernet cables from the classroom to the server room, but the machines would only get 10M and not 100M link as they should.

Didn't take us long to notice they had laid the cable like electricians, neatly following the contours of a few door frames with tight 90 degree bends.

Glad I learned that lesson early.

It's the Economist after all. I mean, I loved reading the Economist when I travelled every week as it's always available on flight and trains.

Not sure I see what you mean. Here's the infamous I – V – VI – III – IV – I – IV – V progression from Canon in D in just intonation, with square brackets marking tones that make up a chord (invert the chords to your taste):
[1/1 5/4 3/2] – [3/2 15/8 9/8] – [5/3 1/1 5/4] – [5/4 3/2 15/8] – [4/3 5/3 1/1] – [1/1 5/4 3/2] – [4/3 5/3 1/1] – [3/2 15/8 9/8]

Of course, you can't do this for every progression you might enjoy playing, but as an example this one works out quite nicely, with no serious harmonic ambiguity or conflict.

I mean I dislike PDFs for the exact reasons you cite, they don't reflow and fonts are embedded and chosen by the creator.

Occasionally these choices can be good, but often I want to resize the text-size to make reading more comfortable which is easy with HTML or an EPUB, but with PDF I can only zoom so much before I must pan to actually read the entire line. Similarly, I think that the creator's font choice is often the wrong choice, it's very common for me to change fonts on an EPUB, but I can't do that for a PDF which is frustrating.
It's gotten so bad that if you criticize one side you're assumed to be a hardcore proponent of the other.
Apart from the headline and a parenthetical reference, there isn't really any insight here about why returning to coding almost crushed him, which would have been more interesting than yet another list of things common in modern development.

I have a similar switches between management and occasional development and there are a lot of "interesting" and frustrating challenges in returning to coding after a break of several years. Hearing other people's experiences helps dealing with the frustrations. There is a lot of tooling, frameworks, build processes, etc... which weren't widespread a decade ago which make starting a side project or jumping into code only occasionally an obstacle course for those who do not do it regularly. I'm ever grateful to those who write good how to guides for these things that I can refer to when I miss a crucial step in my setup.

I just cancelled Netflix. I agree on the lack of quality.

Some shows with a good premise, like Shameless, regress into ridiculousness. It’s almost like the writers know the drill. Meaning pull out every plot twist in the book, and mangle it up terribly. It seems like the acting actually gets worse too?

I heard so many good thing about Netflix, but just had to cancel.

I thought they would have more classics, but it seems like their business model is catering to people who just want new material regardless of quality?

That said, I did enjoy having access to Star Trek, and The Twilight Zone.

If I didn’t want to limit my media viewing, I would have kept it for those two shows.
This exactly is the much more important second point Hickel is making. Even if growing GDP does mean tiny scraps of wealth are left to lower the number of the extremely poor[1], it's nowhere near resource efficient enough to be feasible within constraints of climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and resource depletion.

Pumping up GDP is not a sustainable way to reduce poverty. Gates and other people who benefit the most from the status quo continuing to advertise for this graph gives a very false sense of optimism.

Sometimes I think Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos and Musk are not that different.

However Musk has much stronger persistence and likability. He can keep promise things and collect money for much longer and be forgiven when delivers much less of what he promised.

I bet Theranos could have still be a thing today if Musk was the CEO instead of Holmes. Instead of failing, they would have delivered slightly smaller machines that work with about the same amount of blood but with better UI and integrated fart jokes.

That said, I don't think that Musk is a fraud. I think that he is amazing in building financial hype machines, thus capable of concentrating wealth that can be used to work on far fetched ideas. Even if he fails to deliver on the high promises, he menages to change the landscape. After all, electric cars and commercial space flight are a thing now, aren't they?

Holmes should have delivered iOT blood testing machines of regular type when being funny on Twitter and could have been fine. When asked when the 300 test from 1 drop of blood is coming, she should have always answered "I'm confident that we will have it in 2 years". Even maybe she could have sold a more expensive machine that "has the hardware to do 1 drop blood test but will be enabled with a software update later".

For all of my new side projects I am all in on Phoenix live view. I couldn’t be happier, you can write web apps quickly and it is super reliable. It’s probably not the best choice for every project, but for now it lets me do a lot as a solo dev who has maybe 30 minutes to an hour free a day to code side/personal projects.

My personal project that has the most use is https://readastorytome.com/. Almost all of the problems/bugs I have with it are to do with my implementation of webrtc and pdf.js. Liveview has been the source of very few problems.

Relative to a device to perform the understanding.

A string X maximally compresses datsets Y iff X is a 'comprehending' of Y.

'OK'... but what produces and evaluates X? ie., comprehension.

This is the problem with defining these terms mathematically; you state the problem in basically useless ways.

Yes, you can specify what eqn produces the mass of the higgs boson. Thats basically no guide to building the LHC.

The production of such understanding is not abstract. Comprehension isnt a relation between two binary strings;
it is an action taken in an environment with a goal.
>Chinese wages have gone up like crazy in the last few decades. (Not that they are particularly high now, they just used to be sooo low.) Yet, stuff hasn't gotten more expensive for us.

That's because of several factors -

1. China has a massive massive population and the majority is still relatively poor. This is still lots of untapped labour available at low cost.

2. The skilled workers that have been trained in the past 3 decades is allowing China to move up in the value chain. They are capturing more of the profits because of this. Look at how many Chinese tech brands establishing significant presence in western markets. They are able to offer lower prices as they are mostly vertically integrated and labour costs of even the skilled positions are generally lower in China (where they centralise a lot of their functions) compared to the west.

3. And at the same time, countries with even cheaper labour are competing with Chinese producers on the low end. You see this particularly with things like clothes and shoes which are labour intensive but relatively low tech.
> I can't decide if Elon Musk and Tesla believe the claims he's been saying, or knows that he can't deliver soon

He needs the money to try and as such needs to present it as something that will happen soon to get that money. I don't think there's any other way to go about it. Who would spend on "we don't know if and don't know when"?

I think there's a lot more trial and error in human tech advancement then we want to admit. Especially for developments that take more than a few years. Failure is always an option, recent popular optimism "anything is possible" is wishful thinking. To answer if it is possible you can only try and see. And to really try you need to believe.
Samsung is very aggressive in marketing and penetrating markets. If you make a very good phone, it won't sell without 1. letting people know your phone exist and 2. making it possible for people to buy your phone.

Samsung aggressively installed itself in even the most remote places. When you go through a small city (my parent's home) and find that Samsung has an official office with actual Koreans in it, it makes sense that people from that place will conduct business with Samsung.

Same can be said with Apple. For example, Apple is aggressive when it comes to international warranty. In my opinion, they understand that a good size of their products are sold/smuggled in the black market. When you offer international warranties, it gives you an advantage over other brands since now the Apple product is as cheap as Samsung's. Where I live, the official-partner Apple store is basically a warranty repair shop. Most people buy their products off-market.
