yes this is the case for the vaccines, and any synthetic protien based vaccine that is to come. there is a manner of inserting a couple of extra amino acids at a crucial location that will prevent the change of state when cleavage is activated.

I agree, although in fairness they've come out with a v3 that's fully supported. Since it's only marginally different, and aesthetically less appealing, I haven't bothered buying it.
Epic, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Spotify and a host of other companies are itching to get on to a rival 'Freedom' app store on iOS, with lax controls and weak privacy disclosure. Where they go, users would have to follow. It's not as though users are crying out for weaker privacy disclosure, but they'd go anyway.

Facebook is quite happy on the Play Store because it has weak privacy and disclosure policies, because Google has no interest in enforcing such things.
What they might have meant is that many countries accept a positive PCR from >= 4 weeks ago as proof of prior infection (and therefore, presumed immunity), but not an antibody test. I'm not familiar with the error rates of the latter, but for the purposes of travel a positive antibody test is rather useless.

Where I live, you need to meet one of three conditions for things like indoor dining:

- proof of a full course of vaccination (2 weeks after the final shot)

- proof of prior infection - antibody test not accepted, only positive PCR between 1 and 6 months ago

- proof of an antigen test (rapid test) that's at most 24h old

No it doesn't, it incentivizes parking arguments and a tragedy of the commons, and creates people who will vote for policies that will convert public land into parking spaces.

I would prefer to reduce on street parking, and increase on street cycle lanes. It sounds like you would too.

By only providing 1 parking space per dwelling you end up with an increased demand for on street parking.

Technically that is a conjecture known as the Church-Turing thesis, which states that any computable function can be computed by a Turing machine. Here "computable function" uses the informal definition 'any function that a human can compute', not the formal definition of the recursive functions (which are proven to be solvable by a Turing machine).

This is unrealistic. If it were easy to root an iPhone, then we would reach a situation where app developers would stop releasing necessary apps in the App Store because they want to bypass all the ethical behavior it requires. It would effectively force everyone to the lowest common denominator.

If it were possible to root an iPhone, Facebook would have never agreed to give users the option to stop tracking them across apps; they would have instead said “please watch this video and do what it says to continue using Facebook/Instagram!” and guide naive users into rooting their phones.

I am one of those who insist on a strict separation between "me at work" and "me not at work". Mostly because over the last few decades, I have identified that spending almost all of my time in "work" mode is basically not good for me. Doesn't really matter if whatever "non-work" activity I am doing is superficially similar to what the work activity may be.

Doesn't mean I don't care 9or coast, or whatever= about work. Doesn't mean I religiously drop work at HH:MM (but, unless there's something that is urgent at HH:MM, then I probably will push that to first thing tomorrow).

I would instead make the workout analogy that proper work/life balance is akin to taking rest/recovery time between working a specific muscle group. If you are always working out, with no time for recovery, you end up with injuries that eventually will make workout impossible.
I still don't understand why the "autonomous driving" people aren't concentrating on freeway driving--possibly with special roadway markings--over local driving.

People are less biased towards highfalutin in the ways they produce garbage.

The fact that RL in the extremely vague sense used in the article is enough for AGI is uncontroversial for anyone who believes intelligence and consciousness are physical processes.

However, this "result" is trivial. It is obviously equivalent to the claim that intelligence arose naturally in the biological world without influence from God.

"The main contribution in rationalism and empiricism are not French" does not equal "French speakers did not contribute relevant knowledge in rationalism or empiricism"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empiricism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalism

Hindu and Greek philosophers, Islamic golden age, Italian renaissance, British empiricism, Scottish Enlightenment, Austrian/German empiricism, US Pragmatism, ...

I'm not trying to neglect French rationalists and empiricists. Of course they exist, ... together with the many other scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, ... from many other cultures. Each single culture contributed less than the sum of the others simply because rationalism and empiricism are the fruits of global knowledge.

When detailing reasons for pushing the adoption of French in Europe, Macron acknowledged the work of Victor Hugo, who "believed that French would be the language of Europe, would today perhaps be a little disappointed" and promoted the re-examination of past colonialism in Africa, seeking to use the language as a tool to "reset a complex history in the continent".

The reasons for pretending the use of French in Europe are nationalistic. In an incident, European diplomats defined "overly dramatic, a statement of anger that clearly need no translation" when a French diplomat left his chair empty after the Council decided to use only-English in a working group.

This development was foreseen in 2017 (pre-Brexit) when Mario Monti said "The EU, when the UK leaves, should take the decision of upgrading the use of the English language in EU affairs. I think we should upgrade the ways we use English and it should become the language of the EU. I exaggerate a bit - there should be a bit of French. It will be a very appropriate gesture to the UK. It would help us Europeans to become more competitive by using fewer languages."

The statements of Mario Monti was pragmatic, it defines an issue and propose a solution. The behaviour of French diplomats is stubborn and nationalistic.

I feel like a bounty system for online crime might help. Let the free market figure out whether this is worth investigating / solving. Registered bounty hunters / investigators could take up the case and operate on it. I sense that a lot of investigation around this case could be done from the comfort of a warm armchair. The rest involves boots on the ground.

Frankly, I see no pint of debating this issue (bitcoin as an investment, not as an environmental issue). People who don't like it don't have to buy it. Those who are confident it could be advantageous will invest some money in it to diversify their portfolio, with the percentage corresponding to the inherent risk and investment period. Since the risk is quite high, I wouldn't put more than 15-20% in it. Yes, the potential net gain will be lower, but if things go bad, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Mindless browsing does have it's place, but it's often not in it's place, and it's certainly not a walk in the woods. A walk in the woods either allows the sounds of your brain to rest or for them to come to light and allow you to work on them. The pointless information cacophony is the opposite imo; it temporarily tranquilizes them, never letting them be addressed. Where a walk in the woods can be stress-relieving and possibly actually social, mindless browsing just throws your stress into a garbage bin, that just gets taken to a dump; you're pretty sure you dealt with it, it's not here anymore right?

Oh god, this. This is the real problem!

Everyone wants to sell you the solution to problems where there are 10,000 servers for a single set of related apps managed by 1,000 developers. Think companies like NetFlix, where there are teams of people dedicated to specific parts of DevOps.

Nobody has good solutions for legacy but still functional apps developed by some guy named Bob that was a contractor for 6 months and he's gone to some other gig.

For example: Take Splunk, or Azure Log Analytics, or any similar tool. They work great if you get 100K hits per day. The graphs are beautifully smooth and the wealth of data makes it trivial to extract all sorts of insights. Approaches like A/B testing can accurately detect changes as small as 1% in many cases.

But what do you do with the site that gets 5 hits per week, but is still important because what it does for each one of those hits is worth on the order of a thousands dollars? The tooling is a total letdown, basically nothing out there can help with apps like this. Trying to retrofit some legacy app into Kubernetes or whatever would cost more than app makes in revenue. Leaving it alone is just as bad, because eventually you have to upgrade the server it lives on and the load balancer in front of it. At which point it will break. Or it might not. How would you know? You only get 5 hits a week...
Ohhh Silicon Valley and your corporate euphemisms. What does it achieve now? Does it soften the blow for those who loved the service? Is this some kind of cover-your-ass thing legal advises them to practice?

I think I first saw the usage of this term either from Yahoo (wrt either GeoCities or Flickr) or Google (wrt Reader). Definitely around that era. IIRC it was on some company roadmap presentation that basically say "These services are scheduled to be sunset by <date>". Heck I even think those slides were leaked and not officially presented.

I like to think the first audience to encounter this usage of the word was similarly perplexed. "When you say 'sunset' you mean 'termination', right? What about the teams assigned to them?"

"'Termination'? Oh goodness, no. When we say 'sunset' we mean we leave them alone to naturally drive into a beautiful sunset."

No less perplexed, they put emphasis on their second question. "What about the teams then?"

With the cadence of a well-rehearsed actor, the facilitator responds, "Hey, sunsets. Very peaceful, very relaxing---who doesn't want those? You won't get that from staring at your computer screen all day!"

I'm not sure that's true anymore - pretty much any objective devised is being solved by ML solutions within months (with some exceptions such as Chollet's ARC, maybe Winogrande). But those same models will perform poorly on other unseen tasks, because ML takes shortcuts if it can. We used to have unsolved tasks for decades, such as Go. It's now comparably hard (if not harder) to create a good objective measure of intelligence than to reach human parity on said measure.

A "modern GUI, as we understand it" is one with a bitmapped screen, overlapping, non-modal windows and the desktop methaphor; why? because that's conceptually still what we have today; the first machine where this was realized was the Alto at Xerox PARC; the first applications we would consider "modern GUI applications" were the Bravo WYSIWIG text editor (1974), the Gypsy document preparation system (the first existing DTP application, 1975) and the Smalltalk-76 environment (whereas overlapping windows and pop-up menus were already present in Smalltalk-74). Engelbart's and the other projects mentioned have undoubtedly made important contributions to the first graphical user interface; however, there were still various hurdles to overcome before the first "modern GUI" came into being.
I think its more a case of the public not being aware of this non-investigation habit and not pressuring enough. At the same time I understand, there are so many issues on the table its a wonder anything gets done at all. Priorities and all that.
