They are very much tied together, though.

Maximizing longevity is increasing the quality of the time we do have. More time available equals more time you are able to spend doing things you actually enjoy. I feel a great deal of pressure to accomplish certain things given the very little and limited time I have available to me. It's a source of stress that would be alleviated if there were more time available to me.
It depends on the value system of immortalized humans.

Are they democratic, egalitarian, respectful of the environment and biodiversity, and long-term thinkers? Such humans might be better than the short-term, biased mortals we have now.

Of course, there's no indication it would turn out that way. Given the prevalence of fascism and monopolization of power, bad outcomes seem more probable. Selfish, egotistical, power-hungry immortals that feed off the backs of mortals sounds like a dystopia that could happen.

Should AGI or brain uploads happen before human body life extension becomes limitless, we'll probably see a rapid proliferation of a "monoclonal intelligence" that has a singular disposition towards the rest of us. Who can say what that will be?

I agree with your sentiment. It is interesting to look at total power usage and power usage by device. I'm using IotaWatts to monitor every individual circuit in my house (over 200 of them), and it is easy to miss things that add up. With computers it is quite amazing the difference in power load based on cpu/disk load. When I run my PI calculator (which not only pegs CPU, but hits my SAN very hard) I see over a 1kw difference in my homelab power draw.
Well, Google doesn't operate services in China so is not giving data to China. If you look carefully in the TOS for your Apple products, you'll see that iCloud data (including like messages) are operated by Apple with the exception of China, where they are operated by a third-party contractor who does the dirty work of complying with Chinese government speech laws/police requests.

Huh. I know for sure here (DC metro area) Google's navigation definitely takes traffic into account both for time estimates and routing. It'd be pretty useless otherwise: traffic is pretty much the major component of travel time for many/most trips.

Quick gripe with this article: it assumes that Amazon’s primary market will always be the US. All of the numbers peg Amazon to our market, GDP, and growth.

But there’s reason to believe Amazon could experience long-term growth in the rest of the world, even if growth in the US reaches equilibrium.

90% of all drug candidates that are brought to the FDA for approval fail one of the FDA’s required studies. It is probable that some of the 10% that pass and are approved are marginal, and someone at the FDA has to make a judgement call. Thus it is likely that occasionally a drug is approved which later turns out to be ineffective or even dangerous. But it seems to happen fairly rarely, and it’s quite rare that people resign in protest.

interesting topic. Could you point me to some resources so I can learn more
about it?

The following is a comprehensive introduction and survey of recent work in the
field:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...

Regarding novelty, neural networks are excellent at interpolation but awful at
extrapolation. What I mean by interploation is that the models learned by a
neural network represent a dense region of cartesian space circumscribed by the
neural net's training instances. The trained model can recognise and generate
instances included in this dense region, including instances not included in its
training set, by interpolation, but it is almost completely incapable of
representing instances outside this dense region by extrapolation [1].

So basically what I'm saying above is that deep learning language model code
generators can't extrapolate to programs that are not similar to the programs
they've been trained on. Hence, no real novelty. But you can go a long way
without such novelty hence my expectation that e.g. Copilot can be a nice
boilerplate generator.

[1] My standard reference for this is the following article by François Chollet,
maintainer of Keras:

https://blog.keras.io/the-limitations-of-deep-learning.html

See also the second part of the series of articles where possible ways are
proposed to address this limitation:

https://blog.keras.io/the-future-of-deep-learning.html

The latter is relevant to the conversation because the author basically proposes
augmanting current deep learning approaches with a form of program synthesis.
I know Cruise is a different company.

As for selling off their self-driving division, I don't get how that's a failure or giving up, given that the article lists an explicit 400M investment. The article (rightly) points out that Uber doesn't need to own self driving to benefit from it, and given that it's a hard problem, they spun it out into its own company that can receive independent funding.
I greatly prefer the UX of Apple Maps for navigation, but the search is still bad compared to Google Maps. The verbal directions and UI are clearer IMO.

Both have been equally bad at keeping directions up to date, though, but I live in a relatively mutable city. If I were living in the burbs, I would probably stick with Apple Maps.

As has been mentioned in this article and many previous takedowns of SQL the language, it's a pretty poor approximation of both relational calculus and relational algebra. So in that sense, SQL barely has a leg to stand on. If anything, SQL not adhering more closely to those techniques is why query planning is so fraught in modern relational DBs. A language like the one described in TFA would be both closer to the relational model as theorized and probably easier/more consistent to optimize.

The author of this 2017 article is probably shocked that Amazon's PE ratio has since gone from 184 to 70, while the stock price went from about 1000 to 3700. The author should have realized that there was still a huge untapped market for cloud services in 2017. It would have been foolish to short the stock four years ago, but, with the departure of Bezos, one has to wonder how much longer AWS can continue to keep the big profits flowing for the company. Rather than focusing on PE, the author should have focused on whether or not there is still a huge untapped market for cloud services. I'd focus on that metric before deciding to short AMZN.
Well yeah, but the young people can take their ideas to space!

Also, IMHO conservatism is based on fear. Perhaps stability could help us resolve the fears people have, and much older people would see that many of their previous fears never materialized, thus becoming less conservative.
Not meet expectations is a widely different world than PIP especially if the signals you are getting otherwise make you feel like you are performing well. Managers are clearly told by amazon to communicate as little as possible about underperforming if employees can be on secret PIP for 12 months…

I live in a rural area and the only people I generally see in a day are my wife and kids. Occasionally a neighbor. Im an introvert in an extroverted job, and so I try to be the extrovert. When the pandemic hit our office did not switch to remote right away but when it did my whole social world collapsed. I spend at least two weeks of every month on the road, and not all the same time. Going back to HQ and seeing people and having lunch with colleagues, that’s my social life in a nutshell. Not being able to do that was soul crushing, and put strain on my wife because now she has to put up with this big beluga all day!

That's true, but some of the copy pasting that Copilot indulges in would absolutely fulfill that requirement. See: copilot copy pasting quake's inverse square root function: https://twitter.com/mitsuhiko/status/1410886329924194309

Copy pasting a one-line snippet may be OK, but copy pasting a full function is already much more of a grey area.

Thanks for your sophisticated analysis.[1]

Psycho-activeness of language has an incredible depth of account from philosophy to semiotics. But a simple enough paper I found for you that exemplifies (not exhaustively proves) my claim is Holtgraves & Kashima, 2008. It is freely accessible.

Additionally equivocating personality, identity and pathologies like dissociative personality is going to mislead us, because they are strawman arguments.

Think of yourself growing up. Turning to an adult was a change in identity. Do you remember the day you switched from being a child to being an adult? Was it a psychopathology to become an adult? Are you completely dissociated from childhood memories, and seemingly, your childhood ego-states?

Finally I will pull another comment of yours in this thread;

> No here is the thing: none of this has affected my identify at all, not even in the slightest.

The thing with identity is that it is not entirely transparent to us. You don't know who you are as much as you think you do. Not only that, if language is the ground on which our identities form, by definition you wouldn't realize a change in identity due to change in grounding. By these accounts you wouldn't be the most reliable witness to assess your identity change.

[1] I know sarcasm is frowned up in this forum but I wanted to give an example of how we use language to emotionally regulate ourselves. We can sublimate our anger by creating a contradictory perspective to salience the unfairness of the opposing perspective. It gives us a strategy out of merely attacking back in kind. Collect thousands of tools like this together and you bet it significantly contributes to your identity.
I don't see it as strange. They probably spend lots of time mucking around in SQL trying to force it to things it's not good at, so now they have strong opinions on SQL. They specifically state that it's too late to turn back the clock on SQL, but it's not too late to expose RDMS access with a better language, or with a sufficiently flexible API to allow arbitrary QL implementations. They aren't shitting on anyone here either. They say that the assumptions made when SQL were designed ultimately didn't pan out:

> The original idea of relational databases was that they would be queried directly from the client. With the rise of the web this idea died - SQL is too complex to be easily secured against adversarial input, cache invalidation for SQL queries is too hard, and there is no way to easily spawn background tasks (eg resizing images) or to communicate with the rest of the world (eg sending email). And the SQL language itself was not an appealing target for adding these capabilities.

> So instead we added the 'application layer' - a process written in a reasonable programming language that would live between the database and the client and manage their communication. And we invented ORM to patch over the weaknesses of SQL, especially the lack of compressibility.
>Don't you think everyone speaking the same language would promote flourishing in human creativity?

Not necessarily. Sometimes creativity may flourish better if developed independently without common influences.

Websites could be analogous to language in this case. Why use hacker news when you could use twitter or reddit? Independent subgroups can produce more interesting or unique discussion.
But have you tried not wasting time now which is far easier than adding more years to life?

If you lived longer, would you feel better or just feel the same pressure with different goals?

Accomplishing something is great, but it's not quality time. Quality time is the time spent working on the accomplishment, which doesn't depend on living to see the result.
Business information in Apple Maps -- at least in the US -- comes from Yelp. I haven't really had the experiences you're describing, but I live in northern California, where Yelp seems to be pretty up-to-date most of the time. (With a caveat that it's been worse in 2020, but I suppose that's not unexpected for a crowdsourced directory during a year most of the crowd wasn't going out.)

I'm an introvert and my wife is an extrovert. She definitely struggled more than I did. But even I got to the point where I was cherishing any small opportunity to chat with a stranger.

A couple of months ago, I went to an old friend's wedding and spent several days with new people for the first time in over a year. About one and a half days in, I'd used up all that pent up extroversion and went right back to my normal introverted self.

The assumption that "natural selection has been trying to maximize lifespan, because the longer an individual lives, the more opportunity it has to reproduce" has an easier refutation: it clearly doesn't apply to a species where half the population goes through menopause (and stops being able to produce offspring) well before death.

(There are plenty of other species whose reproductive cycles are inconsistent with this assumption -- most notably all those with members that only mate once.)

Has there been any prior art on the following idea? Construct floatable micro-structures that are long-lasting but biodegradeable and coat as much of the world’s oceans as possible. They are roving blankets and their only purpose is non-invasive reflection. The idea is to provide a lever for the ocean’s albedo similar to that currently provided by sea ice. They could be constructed in such a manner that ships can safely navigate and ignore them as they will “push” them out of the way. They could further be accompanied by a financing model similar to carbon offsetting programs for corporations.

> complex queries are usually an indication of a poor design.

Can you give an illustrative example of one. I suspect that framing it this way biases designs away from 'poor ones that use complex queries' into one that foregoes other good aspects such as normalization. Sometimes the best design uses a complex query for something other than a report.

Design is not something that should be done by application of dogma and avoiding smells.
Why would they be conservative?
They'd be long lived young people.
That is true to some extent, but I'd argue that there are diminishing returns on this. That is to say that ambitions would certainly be greater if we had more time, but I don't think it'd scale linearly.

Another way to look at it would be -- How much more stressful would our lives be if the average lifespan was 40 years instead of 70+?
That's very roughly $100/year, which is < 1/6th of the cost of the _network cards_ in this build.

My workstation bursts to 600w+ for 15-20 minutes at a time when compiling, for comparison.
I was confused as well — then I realized: wow, we all know this is a big problem, but I’ve never sat down to actually read a full wiki article about it. Prior to clicking, I wondered what I’ll learn and what hacker solutions I will entertain?

That's what many don't realize. Apple shows really fantastic and detailed 3D handcrafted maps each year at WWDC, then when you dig deeper, you find out that it's only for like 3 American cities and it's coming in a year... Basically useless for 99% of people.

While Maps also has some discrepancies between cities and also different countries, in general it's a lot more consistent and features roll out more widely.
That must be the stupidest type of crime I have ever heard of.
i think the assumption is fine as long as the individual reaches sexual maturity. Ie: natural selection will favor individuals but past that age all bets are off
> Red Hat sets the Standard

Not so sure that's something you should be proud of, considering the kind of standards they are setting. Also, not so sure about how much standards they really are, if it's mostly the Red Hat customer base and fan club that considers these actual standards.
I haven't used Google Maps in a while, but I remember joking that it gave time estimates as if everyone was driving Ferraris: they always seemed to be extremely optimistic.

The OP's comment about Google's directions often giving you things like unprotected left turns across major roads matches my experience with Waze, so I wonder if Google is pulling in more data/algorithms from them now. I know lots of people love (loved?) Waze and I used to be one of them, but I eventually just couldn't handle how almost every ride with Waze had become the algorithmic equivalent of your crazy uncle saying "I know a shortcut. Trust me."
I don't see it as a problem. It's just how human interest works. We are drawn to things that are similar enough to what we know and odd enough at the same time to be interesting.

If I wanted to read books that try to reflect reality as good as possible I'd stick to manuals and textbooks.

The problem is a general one that people are being tricked that purely entertainment pieces give them some insights into nature of reality and people. Fictional literature is held as a source of insight of human condition but the parts that make it interesting are pure fantasy of one skewed mind.
Apple Maps is even worse? Because in my pop 200k city (somewhat big for Germany), OSM has far better information already.
Does that prove cancer is untreatable? I don't think so.
Yes, right? We've got pretty much all the tech for that, it only needs to be joined up and made accessible. Of course, it would be simple at first, but improveed on later.

And of course, that library... That would be a source of _real_ money.
