AGI is not currently in scope for any solutions on the market. The current crop of AI systems are simply analytical engines.
I couldn't agree with this more, and very much to my personal detriment I spent way to much time trying to live those ideals. In the end it's just left me fruitless and feeling like a sucker.
I consider myself fairly lucky to have landed a job at a place that figured this out right out of school.

The unhealthy behavior on my part is comparing myself to my friends who went to the Bay and make basically the same salary but get like $100k in RSUs per year on top of it, or those who have the mental endurance to juggle a FAANG job and fairly lucrative contract work on the side.

Even though the numbers are attractive, I enjoy having the time to have a life on the side. I don't really like the concept of "work is life" that the big bay area tech companies seem to have. Not exactly doing much with it right now, but I could if I wanted to...

100% my experience. Burnout is never worth it.
Yeah, this paper gets dredged up every now and then. Seems a bit like a cheap trick to say “just say no to Paxos overhead” and then sequence network requests. I’m all for exploring alternatives to Paxos, but if you’re doing something so novel, my response is that I’ll believe it when I see it operate at scale.

I’m just not sure how you would sequence requests in a typical setup, with Clos fabrics everywhere, possibly when your redundancy group is spread across different geographical locations. Wouldn’t you need some kind of queue to reorder messages? That queue could get large, and quickly.

Paxos and Raft have the advantage of being simple and easy to understand. (Not necessarily easy to incorporate into system designs, sure, and the resulting systems can be fairly complicated, but Paxos and Raft themselves are simple enough to fit on notecards.)
Kinda neat. Many of these remind me of observing a solar eclipse, where trees cast shadows with zillions of little crescents. Fun to experience in person, but distracting to see in an image because I get the distinct "something is not right here" feeling.

Now to really make it art, figure out how to say something with the effect. A portrait would have been a nice addition to the collection. How would it change the feeling of looking at a face?
It's up again now.
Unfortunately, only in Australia and parts of Africa and a few other select markets.

I've been trying to buy a new J70, but AFAICT you can't buy a new one in the EU or US, and it's practically impossible to import one either. I'd be very happy to be corrected.
Is anyone using Deepnote? It seems pretty cool, but a little immature maybe?
This actually matches with my experience. My product is text-related and I ran a couple ads with allowable amounts of text (back when there were limits). The ads performed just fine, but FB decided to stop running them, claiming they were low-quality.
> Federal regulations prevent a race to the bottom for things like pollution, labor rights, etc.

Not really. Local people suffer the most from local pollution and low local wages etc., so they have the most incentive to strike a reasonable balance. Federalizing e.g. minimum wage is just an excuse for high cost of living areas to screw over low cost of living areas by depriving them of their natural cost advantage, pressuring wage laborers into higher cost of living areas where they get less for their money because businesses stop operating in lower cost of living areas if they would have to pay the same wages.

Also, there is no point in trying to do this at the federal level because any company whose primary motivation is "lack of environmental regulations" has already moved to e.g. China.

> But, in terms of how to lay out a town in terms of residential zones vs. commercial zones, sure that should be local.

Ironically, this is the thing that actually suffers from being too local, because residency is required to vote in local elections, and then you get exclusionary policies and zoning designed to inflate housing costs which can't be reformed because everyone with an interest in reform is excluded by the unreformed policies from eligibility to vote in the jurisdiction.

Though of course that could be fixed by moving to the state level from the cities; almost nothing actually needs to be done at the federal level.
cannot be upvoted enough.
I first read it in 1999, when half of it sounded like science fiction, like the computer map in the pizza delivery vehicle, and the robot dog, and the other half had already become real, like the metaverse (this was just when Second Life came up).

Today almost all of the gadgets described in the book have become real products that can be purchased. Except the pencil-sized minigun maybe.
I really dislike reaching for these sorts of evolutionary "explanations". They're typically unconvincing ad hoc just-so stories with no real attempt at systematically establishing the truth of the various mutually contradictory claims. Evolutionary psychology is notorious in this regard.

Instead, I will only add that distractability is emotional and moral in nature. When I feel uncomfortable, I will be tempted to switch to something else to relieve the discomfort. The inability to engage in self-denial is one reason for indulging the temptation (which is why fasting and abstinence are great ways to engage in self-denial and strengthen one's self-mastery; you can always spot a person's weakness by the passions they overindulge and which seem to control them). Historically, this inability to do without pleasure was called effeminacy and the inability to bear discomfort was called delicacy (the Greek μαλακία has been translated into either, I think). Sustained focus is toil and toil is uncomfortable and requires both enduring discomfort and relinquishing pleasure.

Another reason may be related to mental health. Distractions and diversions become especially attractive when under duress.
Understanding of the original intent? Is this a thing in actual marriages of Muslims? I’ve never heard of any of this as a thing that is common knowledge. I could be out of the bubble though.
> If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.

I can’t tell if this post is serious or satire? Was this actually the consensus back in 2001?
I reacted to this: "... sex appeared on it TWICE. Once on the bottom level as a basic physical need ..."

Great post. It reminded me of something I experienced in a previous job:

One of my coworkers worked a lot of overtime at one point, I think he liked to feel like the hero. In order to make sure a particular project was delivered in time.

Guess what happened? The client just randomly pushed the deadline back a few months making all the overtime unnecessary.

I know you can’t know if this will happen ahead of time, but it still reminded me that you can put in all the effort in the world and not get anything for it. Personally, I will do my absolute best within the confines of my contract, and no more. I might do some occasional overtime if it’s needed, but I expect my employer to return the favour when I need some time off or flexibility.

I’ve had too many health issues from my past bad work practices (it’s hard to have good work practices when doing your own startups...) to do any more than that. Hell im being treated for high blood pressure right now...
The problem is not so much that we have excessive regulation and bureaucracy but rather that we have a strong tendency to put regulations in place but never evaluate how they are actually performing nor modify them if they are performing poorly. For some reason we equate implementing a rule intended to solve a problem with actually solving the problem - those who implement the policy are praised for doing so long before any improvement in the actual situation is ever seen, and being opposed to the policy intended to solve the problem is widely construed as being opposed to solving the problem itself, even if there is evidence the policy makes the real problem worse. Finally policies are often evaluated based on the message their implementation conveys rather than the actual effects of the policies - for example despite zero tolerance policies being almost universally seen as extremely poor way to deal with complicated issues, they are frequently implemented to express how important the problem they were meant to solve is. So long as we don't make decisions based on efficacy, of course effectiveness will degrade over time.
You're just playing word games to refuse to back down on your ridiculous statement, which, again, was:

"No one sane opposes racial equality, conservative or liberal."

Do you think Americans and the world really don't remember the past 5 years? Do you think we don't remember The Former Guy coming to relevance specifically because of the racist "birtherism" movement, or calling Mexicans rapists? Are those the actions of someone interested in promoting racial equality?

Lets try a different tact:

Name some mainstream Trump-supporting Republican who has said "I believe in racial equality", or otherwise promote racial equality.

If you can't, don't bother replying, and we can all conclude what we all already know:

The Republican party is the party of white supremacy.
Your son will likely never be sexually harassed or assaulted, which is something we can't say about most women.
you are right but the most common tools are still made with these. I think people don't worry about performance that much. or worry, but they don't make an effort to change that.
Strictly speaking you want `mkdir -p "./$1"`, although the failure modes of `--`-ing arguments aren't as immediately demonstratable as those of not deflagging them at all.
I read this a couple of weeks ago. I didn't realize it came out so long ago!
Ah! No, no, that's not what I meant at all. User noobermin guessed that the web page was written in TeXmacs and exported to HTML by analyzing subtle hints such as the typeface and the color of the links. I pointed out that of you actually read the article there is no need to interpret these clues, since the article plainly and explicitly states it was written in TeXmacs and exported to HTML!

Does that clear things up?
most pyramids I've seen lump Physical and Psychological in the same bottom category. So it would still go at the bottom of the pyramid despite not being something you would die without.

It's in the same vein as non-intimate socialization (another aspect we can technically go years without, but has shown to have dire mental effects. Sometimes shockingly fast).
Me wanting to be famous can only be satiated by other people considering me an enjoyable person. But would you consider that I would be unhappy if I failed at being famous?
The text literally said "we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents". You want to twist it to the opposite. There is no context here to make this dramatic turn. Even if the writer does not know how to finish a sentence, you are not authorized to fill the gap from -10000 to 10000. Maybe a government document is not intended for second guessing?
I love how Facebook and Instagram never went the route of "full rewrite" for their apps as they scaled.

I my experience "Language X is slow and we could save Y switching to Z" is always a false promise. You can pick parts of the system that are costing a lot and port them to other language/frameworks to capture the bulk of savings while keeping your developers happy working on familiar code. Or if you'e big enough like Facebook, you can go see why X is slow and if it is possible to improve at the compiler level. Never disrupt the developers flow (Twitter did this with their Scala craze back in the day)
Highlighting one extreme statement in a huge ideological umbrella framework does not indict the entire ideology, as your original sentence claimed.

Is that controversial statement a common one in that ideology? An official one? Do many groups from that ideology subscribe to it?

You keep using the phrase "feminism", a memeplex that's as massive and diverse as any social movement, political ideology, or religion. But it's easy to oversimplify and be reductive towards such a memeplex, which includes members as diverse as Susan B. Anthony and Gloria Steinem, Zoe Quinn and Ariel Levy, Andrew Dworkin and Malala Yousafzai. You have to understand when dealing with a hugely variegated ideology it's unhelpful to speak in absolutes.

Yes, specifically it's more common that way around than the other due to the large influx of Flemish workers who moved to the coal and iron regions in Wallonia during the industrial revolution.

Most people with FR first name and Dutch last name are Walloons who probably do not speak Flemish.
I have a friend from Romania who works in your country...very hard and high cost of living... I personally would prefer your "economy" suffers some contraction so he can come home and help here while you guys "modernise" with all that oil money you have saved.... also your "global game of prisoners dilemma" metaphor (is disingenuous?) it ignores the real time reality climate cliff we are about to fall off... currently we need leaders not Stockholm syndrome followers... I mean isn't asking authoritarian regimes (Putin, MBS, Venezuela) to stop pumpinga pipe dream...?
Ever since I learned that a lot of the standards for medical schedules, long work hours etc were set by a cocaine addict who believed it was natural to pull long hours (https://historydaily.org/cocaine-and-modern-medicine-a-twist...) it's really stuck with me.

So many bad practices basically persist due to inertia and we all suffer for it.
Perhaps one of these cryptocurrencies will find widespread, common-to-the-people, use some day, to tame the rollercoaster of emotional value.
Instagram is prematurely releasing this only because they heard that Tinder was about to release their own CPython fork.
Android dev is doing pretty well from my perspective - Compose works on Android versions years old while SwiftUI barely functions on iOS 13 and does not work on iOS 12.
Does the “next P” of row 1 refer to:

a) the 2nd dot in the 1st row?

b) the entire 2nd row?
Right. I love to listen to music while coding, but I couldn't listen to a podcast. I've tried, but I can't write words and listen to words at the same time. But music is no problem.
DNS over HTTPS with DNS provider supporting it should've worked then.
Quite impressed with the level of scepticism and experience of the android devs on hacker news.

In my experience it's not the norm - the android world seems to have more than it's fair share of cool juice drinking newbies that hang on Google's every word (with disastrous results). Present colleagues accepted of course. Ahem.
He splashed 1.5 billion on BTC - thats hardly modest. Perhaps he holds a small amount of doge but i bet he didnt just risk it blindly on btc. And since crypto is rather unregulated i wouldnt be surprised if he manipulated things a bit to his advantage. Anyways just speculation on my part.
In many cases, yes!

Though in practice women can end up pimped/trafficked. Or abused by their clients, with no legal recourse... which is of course why pimps exist, because having somebody to maybe-protect you may be preferable to no protection whatsoever.

Of course, legalizing prostitution cures a lot of these ills.
The most parameters are: who you are as a person and all that comes with that.

Saying that this matters less when that, or you'll loose interest in sex as you grow older simply won't fit for a lot of people. But for a lot maybe it will.

But since all of this is such a inherently personal thing, its opinion around the world will be as divided as our own butts.
Ideally we would have more of both trees and whales as part of a comprehensive approach to climate change mitigation.
We regularly update our apps when these libraries update, even for projects 5+ years old. You don't need to switch to the latest "architecture" all the time.

It's trivial to add Compose to mature apps, you don't need to convert the entire app immediately.
The article lost me with the claim that there’s some sort of “push to de-emphasize STEM.” As near as I can tell, they think this is something recent, but in my experience it started in the 1970s and the emphasis on increasing emphasis on STEM since the mid-2000s is the course correction that’s taking place now.
Here's the source: https://github.com/freesurfer/freesurfer. It's open (according to most people's understanding of open), but it's not free for commercial use likely because of IP reasons and to avoid conflicts of interest when receiving funding from the NIH to continue development.
The IMO best contemporary overview of the legal issue as it pertains to tech is this piece[1] by Lina Khan. Love the subtle irony I did not catch until today in the title, "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox". It cites and argues the opposite of the Bork piece in many respects.

> It didn't help that I was rewarded with more money, more respect, and more decision making power. I was even rewarded with more knowledge than everyone else -- you learn a lot working 12 hours a day. And if you screw something up you have plenty of time to fix it.

As an intern this feels like everything I want though. More money, more respect, more decision making power, and most importantly, more knowledge. Fortunately my job is done after 4 months no matter what.
Interesting -- for the US "fingers" is reserved for breaded frozen meat that appears to be hand-formed (that is, not rectangular, but still likely machine-made at scale). Chicken fingers and fish fingers are commonly available.
Ugh. I find them incredibly draining. While if I can actually code for a few hours uninterrupted (this includes self interruption), I find I have so much more energy. Maybe it's the self congratulatory mind manipulation I play on myself when I'm productive. On the other hand, meetings that I have little stake in just exhaust me and derail my ability to focus for the entire day. This may be an ADHD thing though.
For the paper I found, I was looking at Table 4, which is of single never-married people comparing to the baseline of married people. Table 3 seems to correspond to what you're seeing. Skimming the discussion, they guess that the difference in depression and BMI scores between never married/married is due to health selection effects, although AFAICT there's not really a way to differentiate between health selection effects and marriage playing a causal role.

I'll take a look at your paper later.
I understand the premise of what you're saying, but I also feel like you're downplaying the upside:

Have you tried to alert yourself when a long-running job finishes? I know it might exacerbate context switching, but it often feels bad to know that a job has finished long long ago and that I've been playing my phone without knowing it.

I had a persistent problem with racing games, because analog sticks always seemed too lightweight and fickle, and basically I mostly could either turn or not turn. Until I finally learned with PS Vita's minuscule sticks to hold the thumb crooked in mid-air and fiddle the stick just a little.

Meanwhile you can't even use 180° wheel controllers with e.g. rally games because that's just not enough precision—you need something closer to 900°, or the car will about-face too often.

It's also weird how little of muscle memory immediately transfers between racing games, specifically sim-ish ones. Each time I switch from one to another, I'm driving like a drunk monkey again. Plus there's plenty of difference between more arcadey handheld games and more involved desktop/big-console ones. Not much surprise that with all this, games barely approach actual driving feel and skill—I've heard that only Assetto Corsa has some magical feedback for steering wheel controllers, that conveys the feel of a car riding on asphalt.
The rationale behind that statement is explained in the subsequent statements in the article. Something about how there's a difference between agreeing with some group or cause's ststet principles and identifying as an in group member as a part of ones identity. The article explains it better than I am.
Mmh I'm not convinced. There is pattern in aggressiveness. One of them being the harasser is talking about the victim or something that's strongly linked to the victim (like it's work, member of familly, etc).

What about school itself? Why is it that you go for 45 minutes of English, then math, then French, then art, and PE?

Strikes me as the worst context switching waste imaginable.
I don't worry about games for those reasons, I worry about them because they're extremely seductive and attention-capturing while producing almost no real benefits or skills. I quit video games cold turkey around the age of 16 after I realized that soo often, I'd find myself sit down to play counterstrike after school, and in a blink of an eye it would be 1AM.
