Really cool to read about the source for the idea and how it developed over time. But it continues to be disappointing that notion’s “free for individual students and educators” plan only applies to colleges with a .edu domain.

I find myself really wishing that something like notion was being developed on a not for profit basis with more portability for data. I always feel the same way about Twitter; there’s so much utility being built here but the profit motive makes it hard to invest in long term because eventually it will be bought out or something else.

I mean I don’t have a solution here but it’s a shame that tools like these represent the digital public commons but they’re built and controlled by profit motivated provare entities.
This is awesome. In theory you could absolutely minimize the latency penalty to just the overhead of the gpu1->memory->gpu2 copy, if the display sync signals from the display the passthrough window was on were passed through to the GPU driver on Windows, and that was combined with fullscreen compositor bypass (available on many Linux WMs) or low-latency compositing (available on sway and now mutter https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1762 on Wayland).

My default is that a thing is ok, unless there is a good argument that it causes harm or violates some principle I believe in.

But I can paint a more specific picture. I don't think any of that tracking harms the user, and on the contrary it makes ads and products better. Unlike Google and most of the world, I also don't believe the data "belongs" to the user.

If you go to a website, the website owner should be allowed to tell anyone that you went there. I believe this should be protected speech, just as it would be protected speech if I saw you walk into my physical store and I sold that information to a third party.

I believe this because I think the world would be worse without personalized ads, and because banning it violates my moral principles regarding speech.
The problem is that you have to have a monitor plugged in the windows card otherwise it goes all wonky. At that point you could just use a KVM....

I think the difference in a standard drink is driven by customary units which tend to be smaller in the UK. A British shot is either 25 or 35ml, while the standard American shot is typically 44ml (1.5oz). British beer is also sold in pint (20 oz) and half pint (10 oz) units, while an American pint will be 16oz across the board.

This layout seems to point towards smaller units, with the smallest British unit being 10ml of ethanol (25ml at 40ABV), while the smallest possible American equivalent would be 17.6ml for a 1.5 oz shot. Thus if we’re using a single shot as our measure of a “standard drink”, then Americans will be consuming about 70% more pure ethanol than their British equivalent per drink.

Also, health authorities have begun rethinking how much drinking is too much, hence the downward deviation of what the international standards say.

> Morality is more like language than it is like physics.

Not as you've described it, as a real objective thing that is a social construct. I agree that it is a social construct, and I agree that it is "like language", because I'd describe morality as, at the very least, an internally coherent social construct. "more harm than good" has no logical constraint and easily permits the violation of every prior principal while affording no solid ground upon which to build, by design.

> To your last point, you can substitute one for the other...

Cool, so long as you're aware that there exists the possibility of data-hoard-free advertising - and that it was common prior to recent Internet centralization.

> I haven't heard a convincing case from first principles...

That is because, like ad-blockers, it isn't wrong. Good luck trying to construct on internally coherent system of morals that blesses the present state of data-broker panopticon while at the same time condemning ad-blockers. If you can do that with something beyond "might makes right" then I'll be impressed.
That's fair. I don't think there are yet entry level (sub $20k) 250 mile EVs in the US yet are there?

Hey first of all be careful. Any complaints about canada are seen as dissent. Dont u dare critique canada. The blame is all on the catholic church.

second of all, be sure to promote the idea that all canadians are polite and genocides never occurred. its the catholics who did it.

finally, please pretend that canada has bought vaccines for every person on this planet and that it not only vaccinated 200% of canadas population, it also brought peace to cuba and conquered mars and brought peace to martians.

edit: also they are vaccinated. thanx to canada yeah!

It's been discussed numerous times that this is simply a constraint satisfaction problem with hand-wavey BS applied over the top.

Here's a good (free) explanation:
https://www.boristhebrave.com/2020/04/13/wave-function-colla...

Specifically read the 'Least Entropy' section: It's broken down very simply:

Pick a random tile which is the 'least random', because (due to already having resolved the constraints we can), this is most likely to be a cell that won't cause problems (ie. unsatisfiable constraints) later.

You might also like to read this (also) free paper on implementing WFC using a constraint solving library: https://canvas.ucsc.edu/files/109152/download?download_frd=1, which I quote here:

> The heuristic of selecting the most constrained variable or equivalently the variable with minimum remaining values (MRV) is well known in constraint solving.

> Since there is more than one valid pattern for that location—or it would already have been set to zero entropy in the previous loop—one of those patterns needs to be chosen. One of the patterns is chosen with a random sample, weighted by the frequency that pattern appears in the input image.

> This implements Gumin’s secondary goal for local similarity: that patterns appear with a
similar distribution in the output as are found in the input [12].

I'm just imagining a sentient AGI rolling around in the human equivalent of a toaster, trying to bend the world to its will.
Where do I start? The humans are essentially pets, kept around by the Minds mostly for nostalgic reasons and because it's a trivial effort for them. People love their pets, but don't allow their pets to make life-altering decisions.

All of the main characters are Minds or drones. None of the biologics ever get to influence events, they're just along for the ride.

The humans are controlled, both actively and passively. The Minds don't lower themselves to anything as crude as "carrots or sticks". Oh no, they prefer to use a far more subtle forms of "guidance", such as inventing an artificial language (Marain) that influences the way people think. This is the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

The Culture's main opponents, peaceful or not, are all primarily-biologics that reject machine minds and associated technologies such as field manipulation. After reading the series, you start to get the inkling that perhaps they are right, and that the Culture made a mistake in allowing themselves to be ruled by computers.

The undercurrent, the persistent theme, in all of Banks' works is betrayal, often of the worst possible sort, the kind that leaves you breathless when fully unveiled in the final chapter. The Culture series has some sort of betrayal in just about every book. Often it is the machines betraying the humans in some way. The drone Skaffen-Amtiskaw in Use of Weapons, for example, was deceiving everyone to some degree, even the protagonist Zakalwe. Some of this deception feels unnecessary, taken to the n-th degree by the drone just because it can.

Similarly, the ship Grey Area is notable for being a "meat fucker" in that it abuses (or merely uses?) its godlike power to torture organics it judges as worthy of punishment. This is called out as unusual, but then in A Look to Windward the hub Mind casually strips Quilan's very soul out of his meat body so that he can experience death at the elevated level that only a Mind can. A worse horror is difficult to imagine.

Etc, etc...
Whenever I aggressively clear search/watch history, delete YouTube browsing data, watch incognito, and/or try to protect my "privacy" from YouTube, the recommendations unsurprisingly turn into complete drivel.

Unsurprisingly, if I just watch what I like watching from the official UI, with history turned on, without removing searches, etc, the algorithm invariably just shows me more like what I've watched and works very well.
Exactly! Just like some of the post war germans approached their past with holocaust denial. It's not ok to even think these thoughts in a positive welcoming culture.
I think an important part of political mobilization is a positive message. Not just in the sense of optimism, but in the sense that there's a particular thing we want to create instead of simply wanting to destroy what exists right now. A negative message of simply criticizing what exists is a lot less powerful than a positive message of what could be if it weren't for what currently exists.
Cruelty, meaning to intentionally inflict pain and suffering, implies the sensation of said pain and suffering in the subject. Pain and suffering are (personal) conscious or subconscious judgements of sensory input. So to be cruel you must assume the subject you are cruel to can (1) feel sensations and (2) decide if the sensation is painful or inflicts suffering.

My take on the assessment of pain is that any entity with some self sustained direction (in life) will be able too suffer or feel pain when faced with sensations that signal an obstruction to that direction. If the entity is able to self correct the path after such sensory input, I claim that the entity can experience pain.

With that in mind:
A calculator has no self sustained direction. And no sensory input to help with self correction either. So it naturally cannot feel pain.

A chicken has a self sustained direction. It lives (moves on its own) and at least want to continue to do so. It also has the ability to self correct when given sensory input. So it can feel pain, and you can (given the reasoning above) be cruel to chickens. Even without an assessment of whether the chicken is conscious or not.

To be conscious, to go into that as well, is in my book to be able to use reason and to be able to reflect on things. So that new sensory inputs are created and assessed based on other already experienced sensory inputs. I.e. to be able to self adjust ones path (in life) seemingly, from an external observer, without any new sensory input.

With that definition one should be able to construct experiments with chickens to decide whether they are conscious or not, or merely acting subconsciously, autonomously.

With that definition of consciousness it should also be possible to define an AI that is conscious. And given the definition of pain above, it should also be possible to inflict pain on (and be cruel to) an AI. The morality of inflicting pain on different subjects is a different story though... :-)

> By number that cannot be written, I don't mean cannot be written due to lack of paper; I mean a value that there is no notation for.

That's true for most real numbers in ordinary mathematics too, so if you accept the existence of those numbers, no reason why you can't do the same for the natural numbers in these non-standard models.

> You cannot run a machine for "that many" steps because such a value is unreachable by steps. Non-standard models have a set of values that begin with a copy of the actual natural numbers, followed by some ordered set of copies of the integers in the sense that any values "beyond" the initial natural numbers have an infinite number of successors and an infinite number of predecessors, like integers do. By counting in steps it is not possible to move from a value in the initial natural number fragment to one of these non-standard values, because there are an infinite number of values in between them that you would be required to step through.

Yes...

The FF VII remake is, in my opinion, one of the best games I've played in decades. With the understanding that I'm biased because I also loved the original... everything about the new game was done amazingly. The story was well told, the characters were engrossing, the combat was extremely fluid... Heck, even the game play was visually like watching a cut scene. I adore this game.

Im a principal at AWS and hobbyist metal worker. Your welding analogy holds in more ways as well. The hobbyist or art welder simply may be able to make something thats attractive or satisfies their own needs. But it absolutely wont be suitable for production, critical use, or efficient manufacturing. Conversely your journeyman welder has spent thousands of hours drawing beads in all sorts of materials and positions. They also have the skill to recognize what kind of setup and technique to apply to solve the jobs requirements.

Following that line…
> programmers are the new blue collars.

Yes, very much. If “you” want to make a living creating art then godspeed, and I may even appreciate your creation. But solving problems through efficient production takes a very different skillset, tools, and organization. And companies employ developers to solve problems, not create art.
Again, HN acting puerile.

Having children is one of the most important considerations in life for many people.

The primary motivation for marriage is to have children, which is why evolutionary biology tells men to date younger.

Also, from a societal standpoint, reproduction is the most important thing, as seen in fertility crises in Japan, China, and both Western and Eastern Europe.

In my case, since my other siblings couldn't have children for various reasons, I stepped up on behalf of my entire family and had one. I have to bear the considerable cost and responsibility, but it made sense from a long-term family standpoint.
Seriously, did you read a different article from https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3475967 ? I have re-read it several times but am not seeing what you apparently are.
Arguably, modernism. See the work of Le Corbusier, in particular, which was hugely influential in the US and led to the vision of cities as "towers in the park." Now, that didn't turn out so great, because it turns out the real world is gritty and messy and expensive and difficult to deal with, but the art absolutely preceded the attempted implementation.

>If your next "blameless portmortem" doesn't have any recommendations, ask yourself, was what happened [in IT services] already a crime?

Imagine the amount of training needed for a government worker to be able to decide that and be familiar with law AND not have a political/financial lean to be able to do that. The US government has already decided they're not going to train their population with relevant marketable skills globally at competitive ages. They've turned education into a private/public dating program to preserve social class norms.

The US government is still too ill equipped, corrupt, and disinterested in regional/global IT regulations. They seem more interested in weaponizing the IT realm to remain relevant across the globe. It seems to me like they're consistently deluded in thinking they can maintain systemic supremacy given movements in india, china, russia, and europe.

I’ve manually implemented this approach before and I would be a little scared of doing it automatically.

When you do it manually you are very aware of queries that need to go to multiple shards and really do whatever it takes to avoid them.

We sharded by account id and all an individual users data would be on that shard.

Basically the only queries that need to transcend the shard are when you need to enumerate accounts by some non-ID value like an email address. You have to ask all the shards in that case.

Things like creating an account are tricky if you want to make sure that each has a unique email address. You need to use two-phase commit across all the databases to do it reliably.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Matt's view is spot on. While his intentions may have been positive, this was cringe-inducing read all the way. Don't understand why people feel the need to publish their dumbest thoughts publicly on social media to get lynched in the court of public opinion. Writing an opinion piece on topics like this is a little like making love to a porcupine - you have to be very careful. It has never been worth it to someone's reputation (however well-intentioned) or career to come out and say anything of this sort, political correctness is an asset, particularly for someone in his role and level. The framing and choice of language really did him in.

Find the study to be highly dubious. Call it a gut feeling, but I think it might be seen by women as embarrassing or unladylike to admit that they want casual sex, whereas men in our society, it’s almost expected.

There is a pretty well-known study done in the 80s on this. Basically a man and a woman are introduced to one another, and the man asked if they would like to have sex.

“The great majority of men were willing to have a sexual liaison with the women who approached them. Women were not. Not one woman agreed to a sexual liaison.”
