I'm using Notion as the DB for a simple jobs site with a static frontend and it's been really nice. Super easy to use CRUD interface out of the box and it's easy to rapidly iterate on data models.

Normally I approach these kinds of projects with a well planned out data structure and proper migrations but the velocity in getting something usable out the door and getting people to use it as been well worth the shortcut. I hope Notion leans into this use case.
> I can waldo any number of commercially available arms to do work humans do today

Not for everyday tasks with anywhere near the efficiency, reliability, speed, and cost that humans have without robots. You can't waldo any robot to do the laundry or the cooking in a normal home anywhere near as well as a human can do it. (I'd love to see you try!)

Sure, you can make a robot that can do work humans can't. You can make a robot stronger, or more precise, or better suited to repetitive motion than a human. Those attributes are useful in specialized tasks. But generally not for the everyday tasks humans do today that we want robots to help us with. For everyday tasks you need a robot that is comparable in speed, efficiency, weight, reliability, durability, flexibility, sensor capability, and cost to a human. Not one of those areas, but all of them simultaneously. That's the hard part.
Google (your employer) and other ad companies have already lost the war against ad blocking. Users have the right to limit the content they see, whether it be through a private self-hosted instance of Piped, uBlock Origin, Pi-hole, or an ad-skipping DVR.

Even Google Chrome includes a built-in ad blocker (which only blocks ads on sites that display non-Google ads), so Google would have no moral standing to claim that Piped is unethical:

Having lived in a fairly rural area of the US, and having parents who live in a different, very rural area of the US, that the rural areas do not have much of a value for education. Particularly the type of Christians who are the 6-day creation types, although I also haven't found as many 6-day creation believers in urban areas.

(This isn't meant as a dig at those, just an observation. If your worldview places "belief in the Bible" as a high value and your interpretation requires a literal reading, then what would an institution full of people who preach evolution and old-earth have to offer? I have a friend who teaches physics part-time at a local college in one of these rural areas, but he is 6-day creation. I said that you'd have to believe that the scientists are incompetent at their jobs, and he said that of course they were. I was stunned because while I could imagine other people saying that, I didn't imagine that he would. I can't fathom how you can believe that people who have worked years to figure out how to most accurately date something would be so incompetent as to mistake days for thousands or millions of years. Especially when it's physics that underlies all the carbon dating... And to be fair, there are plenty of Christians who think 6-day creation is a rather silly abuse of a poetic account.)
It’s more like they think too highly of their own critical thinking skills and aren’t knowledgeable enough about the science to credibly judge the evidence, then pat themselves on the back for “independent thinking.”
Self-Tiling Tile Set
I feel like this misses the point. The reason all the other stuff besides the database is so straightforward is because you can localize all the state in the database so you can deal with the hard parts in one place and with maximum support.

The database doesn't ruin all good ideas. It makes all those ideas for other tiers possible.
It does for latency and reliability, but in my experience running the xanmod kernel with just preempt without rt provides low enough (sub-5ms) latency that I stopped caring about RT in my home recording use.

That's true, you can't opt out of YouTube ads on your own uploads. YouTube still has documentation on how to turn off monetization: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en but since November 2020 they've updated their terms to now say:

Here's a website tracking GDPR enforcement: https://www.enforcementtracker.com/

According to that website, one of Google's 10 fines is the highest fine ever, at €50 million. Hilariously, in a dystopian kind of way, they were fined €28 last year. Not as in millions, but twenty-eight euros.

Facebook only appears on the list once, with a paltry €51,000.

But in any case, the point of GDPR is not to bankrupt companies.

> Toxoplasma is the most “successful” parasite in the world but known only to a few. In humans, it infects the brain, heart, lungs, and muscle tissue ... Toxoplasma is being associated with depression, cancer, diabetes, obesity, bipolar, schizophrenia, self-harm, dementia, aggression, reduced learning ability in children, subtle mind-control, and impaired curiosity. It has infected more than 30% of the global population ... The older you are the higher the probability of being infected. If you are 50 years old, the average probability of being infected with Toxoplasma is in the range of 50% — so it’s worth investing 15 minutes in getting to know it.

> Undercooked meat can spread Toxoplasma bradyzoite cysts, and the parasite is often transmitted to humans through cat feces that contain another cyst form. That’s why public health authorities advise pregnant women not to change cat litter boxes, and advise anyone who eats meat to consume it only fully cooked. The key danger from toxoplasmosis is that it’s one of the few infections capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. That means it can get into the nervous system, including the retina, spinal cord and brain. It can also hide out in muscle tissue of both humans and animals.

You're right that Linux is pretty much the only operating system where users can mix and match core system components. That's precisely why people get so mad about systemd!

If I wanted to use an operating system where all the components were tightly coupled and made by a single vendor, I'd use Windows, or macOS, or a BSD. (In fact I do use those operating systems when that's what I want.) But I would also like for other kinds of systems to exist in the world. I downloaded Linux because I wanted to use an operating system that _wasn't_ macOS!

> But honestly as long as when I boot my Debian-derived distro it works as expected why am I going yo go digging into how it works?

My (least) favorite SystemD gotcha I discovered recently is the way it's taken over 'fstab' in some distros. I think Debian is one of them. When you edit 'fstab', you need to run 'systemctl daemon-reload'. Fine. Whatever. I don't have a huge problem with that.

However, when you try to boot after a disk has been removed from the system, it won't. Instead it drops to a recovery console, BUT if you use a distro without a 'root' password, it can't drop into the recovery console and you're screwed.

The default setup on a lot of Linux distros won't boot if you remove a non-system disk. I like SystemD more than the old init system(s), but there are some really, really dumb decisions that have been made along the way.

Conspiracy theory fodder are facts that offer no evidence of a conspiracy, but that the conspiracy-prone can't help but use as springboards for baseless speculation about one.
ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) proves "ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) is inconsistent".

So if were the case that ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) was sound then what it proves would be true, and "ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) is inconsistent" would be true. But that would mean ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) is actually inconsistent, and thus ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) would actually be unsound after all.
That's exactly how it works, and why big companies do not grow until they consume the entire world. They become complacent and unable to change, and a startup eventually takes their business away.
Yes. Clumsy. It's an unusually awkward design choice to have the software detect if another specific application is running in order to trigger the behavior, instead of just giving the user the ability to configure it.

In my opinion this whole new dhcpleased/resolvd setup is poorly planned, as it contrives the gruesome trick of being both a privacy/integrity problem (no user control over ISP DNS making its way into resolv.conf) and a userland villainy problem (forcefully altering behavior based on whether some other application is running, no matter what the user's actual intention is for running that application).
> who miss out on ad revenue which they worked hard to earn

What? Who cares? They can have multiple revenue streams and they often do with Patreon and sponsored messages inside videos. That nonsense that they rely only on youtube ad money has to stop.

EDIT; oh you work for Google! That explains everything. Nice of you to mention that explicitly, by the way.
Your reasoning seems to be:

Since complex interactions produce computations.

Therefore complex interactions produce subjective feelings.

Where's the connection?

Do you understand that the concept of information is just .. anything at all? Literally the arrangement of atoms in a rock can be considered information. The flow of water in sewer pipes can also be considered information. Not only that, but information processing.

It's not information that _we_ are interested in, but it is information none the less.

Why would consciousness only arise from the signals traveling across the brain, but not from water flowing in pipes?

> I think there are experimental results though, we can look at an brain scan and nearly deduce what people are looking at

ok this is all well understood. The brain does information processing and we can sort of tell what's happening in it.

That's not the question at all.

Why does the information feel like something? That is the question.
LFP is well suited for stationary applications, since its energy density isn't as high as LiIon. I know Tesla uses it in some of their non-US EVs, but those are pretty range limited.

It comes from the Heinlein short story Waldo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldo_(short_story)

Waldo Farthingwaite-Jones was born a weakling, unable even to lift his head up to drink or to hold a spoon. Far from destroying him, this channeled his intellect, and his family's money, into the development of the device patented as "Waldo F. Jones' Synchronous Reduplicating Pantograph". Wearing a glove and harness, Waldo could control a much more powerful mechanical hand simply by moving his hand and fingers.

Factory work is typically among the most regulated kind of work, and often unionized too.

It is easy to see exactly what is happening.

Even if this is true, that weakens your point that hardware is the fundamental limit for robots. If there are situations where software giving human like behavior to a robot could be extremely valuable, then there's certainly a motivation for generic AI companies to be in that area.

That doesn't mean OpenAI robotics leaving wasn't a good idea. It seems like it was but for other reasons.
Post-IPO they would ordinarily become options to buy the same number of shares. If the company was acquired before then, all bets are off. Extremely likely that investor preferences will consume some of the value in preferred shares, maybe well cash off the top too.

From a tax perspective, you’d want to purchase them pre-IPO and hold onto them until long-term gains kick in. But don’t do that until you have a good reason to believe it is imminent, and only if you can afford to gamble with the money.
I feel like it's not absolutely necessary, but it would be courteous to do so.

Being paid good sums of money by Google will certainly drive a positive bias towards whatever the company does. In publications you typically describe conflicts of interests you know, you might as well do it here too whenever you give an opinion if you have a stake in the company people are commenting about.
Yes, because I think the general content of discussion around this subject is one sided, and I want to give voice to what I consider to be a more centered point of view.

For example, in your comment you take for granted that Google "overtly threatens some of our most fundamental human rights". I could imagine reasonable arguments that Google does some harm in some cases, and it would even be defensible to claim that Google does more harm than good for some groups of people (although I disagree). But the position you take as a given seems extreme to me and conflicts strongly with my conception of "human rights" and "overt".
No one said it's their only revenue. You're making up words no one said. It is unethical to consume content without accepting that ad revenue is how its covered. That's it.
That's just utopia.
Giving robots human-like behavior is mostly useful for general-purpose robots. Specialized robots don't need general AI to do their jobs. OpenAI is trying to develop general human-like AI. There's no general-purpose robot for them to put it in, and developing one is a hardware problem, not a software problem.
Missoula is not really the rural part of America that the parent comment is talking about. While Missoula’s population “feels” small at 75k, it’s the second largest metropolitan area (110k-ish) in the state, which has a population of a million.

I’ve been following news of this sort closely during COVID as a personal curiosity. Most of the affected towns are either (1) within 1-2 hour drive of a major metro center (e.g. northwestern CT) (2) already a major vacation destination prior to COVID (Jackson Hole, WY and friends) (3) a top-3 metro area in the state. If you check more than one box, the situation is more dramatic.

Many of these places were already changing prior to COVID, but, as in other domains, COVID has accelerated an already latent process.

Basically, Missoula’s example does not contradict their claim.

But yes, remote workers are more likely to move to a place like Missoula than a place like Philipsburg, MT.
