>competition from vendors that allow full control,

All major manufacturers of modern processors are part of the "Trusted" Computing Group. There will be no meaningful competition in that space.

>regulation from governments forcing vendors to give users full access

This would be the best but also the most unlikely scenario. The status quo can only benefit from what will happen. Imagine the government standing up to big corporations to benefit the people. Yeah, I can't either.

>subverting the implementation to regain control

I think this is what will happen from time and time. Every 5 years we will have a brief time when people possessing certain hardware will have full control yet again, only for it to be patched out (like in the case of the Nintendo Switch)

>Also forgot to mention with secure boot you are able to sign with keys you have generated.

Oh sure you can. The question is whether will it make you fail hardware based attestation like in the case of android custom roms. Google effectively killed the custom rom scene by giving app developers a bulletproof way to block them.
Machismo is a really big area of study.
Large amounts of money spent on government systems that never ship is a tragedy, but software projects like these tend to have a lot of open questions.

We understand software development often as a discovery process (evolving requirements), especially if they are large or disruptive. So one critical output of any such project has to be knowledge that can be built upon, as in open, clearly specified and written papers. This should be done regardless of whether it failed or didn't fail.
I think in todays world, a mobile phone is a far safer mapping device than a paper map.

The main downside of a phone is is can have no signal or battery. People understand that downside well, and often prepare by bringing battery packs, solar chargers, offline maps apps, many phones in a group, etc.

The main downside of a paper map is you don't have the blue dot. People have less experience with it. Usually only 1 person in a group has purchased the expensive map.

When lost in adverse conditions, I'd give the group of inexperienced teenagers with a phone higher odds of getting home for dinner than those with a paper map.
The report says 600,000 tons lithium carbonate [1] per year.

Given that Li(2)CO(3) is the molecular structure of lithium carbonate and 14:12:48 is the molar mass ratio. Therefore there is no more than 1/5 of that in actual lithium so about 120,000 tones.

Still larger than today's world consumption but not as unrelastically high I guess.

I guess I don't really think any system would be able to model it's own state 100% accurately. Basically any model implies a reduction in information.

I don't see what this has to do with pain perception in the brain. I am sure you could find an example in the animal kingdom of a creature which has pain receptors in its brain if you look hard enough.
I recall a paper (I can’t locate it) associating high levels of metabolic activity with disease.

For example if you have an incredibly physical job and put away 8000 calories daily but maintain a low BMI you suffer more cell damage. Similar for users of stimulant narcotics (legal or illegal).

Perhaps a reader here is familiar with this study.
The article doesn't say anyone got confused by this "route". This is much ado about nothing.
"ideology of moral purpose and historical necessity"

Incidentally, that sounds a lot like the ideology that sustains the existence of the EU now.

Of course, the EU empire works in a different way; economic hostility towards outsiders (high tariffs and compliance cost when importing anything), access to a big common market and a lot of subventions for the insiders. It might be the first attempt to build an empire on money only.

Edit: This seems to be a very controversial comment, swinging from 3 to -2 within mere minutes.

Geopolitical ambitions were well beyond the daily awareness of French citizens, moreover, we don't know what the average French citizens view on those things would be.

Most of them just lived through existential horror.
> there are many other things that you can quickly learn to do and will benefit from the mindset and skills that you’ve learned as a software developer

Can you give some examples of such things where engineering skills could bring value quickly without spending 5-10 years on building new career?

Also AIUI this "route" is like, "Here's where you could go in your car as a solid line, now, here's where you said you wanted to go, at the end of the dotted line - as you can see it's some distance away from where the car is at the end of the journey".

I assume the same "route" would suggest that you can just walk straight through the sea if you ask to drive to one of the islands with no roads on it, but presumably somehow "Go up this dangerous mountain" is a "route" while "Walk on water" is not.

Note that Google does not propose you could walk straight up Nevis if you say you want to walk there, this "route" was produced for car journeys.

A few of my friends tried to walk up Nevis a few years back, and during the final climb the people who were least prepared couldn't handle it any more, weather was getting worse and - sensibly - the entire group returned rather than leave them or try to drag them the rest of the way. Seems like "I bought this intermediate grade mountaineering gear and have spent a month breaking it in" was overkill, but "The boots I wear to work will be fine" was not enough.
I'd recommend the https://startupschool.org video curriculum to help you learn how to find your answers. They are also on YouTube iirc

Seems like a worthy idea to pursue. At some point you will need to leave your current profession to scale the idea and have a bigger impact on the world. Email me if you want to talk about the technical side, I might be able to be interested

It depends, if all of the energy you use to charge your car is produced in states like Wyoming or West Virginia (both of which export several times more electricity than they consume) driving a hybrid or any small/efficient IC car is definitely better.

I think banning coal is something that we should definitely do before even considering banning IC cars…
I was in the inner circle, had the tattoos and everything. I had real power back then.
I’m assuming it was recent teenagers who got confused by Google Maps

I don't entirely blame the GPS generation for this. As a society, we've been telling ourselves "Computers are never wrong" for almost a hundred years. Yet every day on HN, we see stories where the computers, or at least the systems they run, are wrong.

It's only gotten worse since people started believing that Google is the arbiter of truth. My wife told me that she's had people banging on the doors after hours where she works because Google told them they were open. Where she works doesn't have public hours at all, so there's no reason any should be listed in Google.

Still, it reminds me of my days working in television when people would call up the TV station in a fit if what was on TV wasn't what was listed in the TV Guide. I don't know how many times I've told people, "We decide what to put on the air, not the TV Guide."

Perhaps it's all just a general abdication of the responsibility to think.
A few reasons. Like you said, syntax, wrapping and unwrapping is annoying. Also, RC doesn't cover cases with cyclic references. I think the difference is that for me GC is the default. For me, you need a good reason to not use a GC. Moderns GCs are very, very good and like I said I'd need a good reason to not use it. That's personal though, and I understand that not everyone agrees.
Same thing in the UK during the years long wait for D-Day.

Americans were very well paid relative to their UK peers and of course didn't have the existential angst of broken nation facing uncomfortable odds. American GI's would be jovial and upbeat while having definitely enough money to spend at the pub, which caused problems.
Yeah? Heard of the USA, China, India, Russia and pretty much any other regional and world power ever?
As a runner I was told that the liver holds about 600 calories of glucose, which would be roughly an hour of exercise. Though the body doesn’t run straight to the egde of zero glucose, I think it alters the fat/glucose ratio during the first hour of exercise and the 50/50 point is about 30 minutes. Obviously very roughly and assuming normal physiology but matches your experience.
This is not axiomatic truth. I reviewed Laurie Woolever's first posthumous book about/with Bourdain, check out how the 'bone luge' was invented for one of his shows: https://niklasblog.com/?p=24870 Also, as is clearly attested by many of Bourdain's friends in Woolever's coming oral-history book on Bourdain, he lied about things, as most people do. He claimed to be human and not perfect.
If this is an attack what’s the point of it. It’s not like it has any useful effects on anything either politically or militarily.
Well, language being a social phenomenon, neither pronunciation is incorrect according to any objective standard, since they are both rather common variants.

Is it “incorrect” that Germans call France “Frankreich” ?
A curiosity from someone that doesn't know the project: the host game for this mod is reported in Steam to be from 1999, so it looks like it should be... also rather aged. But the graphics from the mod look awesome (definitely not 1999 graphics). How come?
At the 70 hour mark, I wasn't exactly hungry, but a bit irritable, cold and distracted. And yes, a little weaker. Pulling off any demanding work in that condition would be nigh impossible for me.

I agree in that numbers should not be shown unless it means something.

But I’m not sure if it even has a way for a human to check. Is there a mugshot the manager can pull up and compare, it seems like that’s not part of the product. Or the managers are extra stupid and didn’t even try that.
that's fine with me.. the imperial valley is a man made cluster f anyways.. It's a naturally desert environment with very little redeemable qualities, other than mineral extraction.
It's always nice to see the wonderful advancements the HaikuOS devs make. As an operating system it's very nice and fun to use. It gives me the same vibes as old workstations from the 90s. Although it still has a bit longer to go before it could be considered as a daily driver for any useful assortment of applications.
fwiw I've had better success with low carb diets and energy for workouts when in full blown ketosis (as measured by blood meter). Otherwise, you're kind of in energy purgatory if you simply go low carb.
It’s actually what made me ask the question — contradiction between what i know about human motivation and what i don’t yet know about business.
There are no mechanisms in place for the generated wealth to benefit the replaced people, the wealth will go mainly to vanishingly few persons self selected to be okay with gross economic inequality.

We have been at this since at least the dawn of the industrial revolution and do not have it right yet.
Backing off and taking it slow now to let some cultural adjustments happen is a responsible step.

My cultural norms are repulsed by the thought of me not working as much as possible, it is how I expect my value to society to be gauged (and rewarded).

This line of reasoning will be (is) obsolete and we need another in its place globally.

I hope some may have better ideas of what these new cultural norms should look like than I with my too much traditional indoctrination.

I only know what I will not have it look like;
humanity as vassals of non corporeal entities or elites.

> What is the property that makes those cells not concious?

The only kind of evidence we have that anything is conscious is self reporting from other humans. For many vertebrates it seems plausible they have some level of consciousness based on observed behavior, but we don't really know.

I'd say the burden of proof lays squarely on the side of proving that anything besides an advanced CNS is involved in consciousness. I see no reason anyone should have to disprove the existence of consciousness anywhere outside of a fairly advanced brain.
One piece of evidence is right there in the article. The share of people who have received their first dose is nearly 70% while only 53% have received both doses. It's highly implausible that this gap can be explained by vaccine hesitancy. There's clearly a huge number of people still waiting for their second jab.

Secondly, lots of people are getting vaccinated every day. If everybody willing had already been vaccinated that number would be zero.

And third, no one under 18 has even been offered a vaccine.

There's an offcial survey on vaccine hesitancy that shows hesitancy somewhere around 10%:

> People do what’s best for them

People have many motives, including themselves, their communities, their businesses, their countries, their co-workers and neighbors, strangers on the street, etc. If they only acted selfishly, there would be no community, country, business, etc.

Has robotics had such an 'ImageNet moment'? Nothing springs to mind, just slow advancement over decades.

If suddenly robot manipulators could grasp any object, operate any knob/switch, tie knots, manipulate cloth, with the same manipulator, on first sight, that would be quite a feat.

But then there's still task planning which is a very different topic. And ... and .... So much still to develop for generally useful robots.
True, but they willingly resorted to raw force if deemed necessary. I wonder if the EU is going to cross that Rubicon one day, too. There is a significant ideological penalty against it, because one of the founding ideas is that cooperation prevents wars.

I had thought the issue was more one of governance rather than a claim of traditional practice?

The land is under shared management and one side decided to change the rules with insufficient consultation.

I am far from an authority on the subject and there may be more than one situation in play.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say or compare or even why. "Mobile phone" online maps often have completely blank areas in wild areas whilst a specific "paper" map for that area is rich in detail. If you're going hiking, you'd take both a paper map for the area because it's more likely to be accurate AND you'd take a phone because GPS and being able to call for help is useful.

Pretty stark difference, IMO. GBA version sounds shrill, all the note envelopes seem messed up, the variations in emphasis & phrasing in the SNES version are gone, etc. SNES version is also in stereo.
Well written article
Qnap Launches NAS with Chinese x86 CPU: Zhaoxin-Based Model Available Worldwide
How recently? I was there in December and it wasn't like that at all.
I think the comments are confounding shutting down the robotics research team with eliminating all RL research. Most robotics teams don't use data-hungry RL algorithms because the cost of interacting with the environment is so expensive. And even if the team has a simulator that can approximate the real world to produce infinite data, there is still the issue of the "simulator-gap" with the real world.

I don't work for openAI but I would guess they are going to keep working on RL (e.g hide and seek, gym, DoTA style Research) to push the algorithmic SoTA. But translating that into a physical robot interacting with the physical world is extremely difficult and a ways away.
Isn't this really the status quo? China's internet is already so firewalled that it could be considered a separate network. You can't even access most Western services without a VPN.

If China wishes to exert more influence over our internet we have to fight that of course. But more separation between theirs and our internet would be just fine IMO.
Correlation is not causation. Maybe public housing is put in neighborhoods with high crime rates. Maybe poor neighborhoods tend to have both.
A Man Who Had Constant Hiccups for 68 Years Straight
Hi, author of the library here. FZF does fuzzy matching and helps you find a string from a list of strings by typing as few characters as possible.

This is a preview release (0.x), so breaking changes and improvement in docs would be introduced. That being said, I would be happy to receive feedback on improving the docs, code or on other things.
Right, but when bullets are flying and it's time to high tail it out of Dodge, then pissing on the radiator doesn't seem such a high price.

Back in 1999 when I was briefly at the University of Chicago I stayed at the International House, which is a large gothic building with a tower and probably a hundred rooms, and it included a formal library. In this library I found a thick paper-covered volume, entitled something like “Proceedings of the 51st Conference of the International Society of Cardiovascular Surgeons”. Curiously flipping through it, and towards the end of the book, amongst all these other scholarly papers on various aspects of the cardiovascular profession, there was a very unique and curious poem taking like 3-4 pages, entitled “Hiawatha’s Lipid Lowering Drug”. It was nearly impossible to read because it was 3-4 pages of dense, single spaced lines of pure chemical and chemistry lingo, “sterols and etherols, thrombotamates and buyterates...” All I can remember was just a few main impressions and one quote. My main impression was that the poem was written by one of the conference cardiovascular surgeons, after the conference nice and buzzed in his hotel room if not plain drunk. It was also obviously written by a doctor/scientist who knew all the chemistry and terms around lipids and lipid removal. It was also fairly deducable without understanding the terms involved that he was a great advocate of alcohol keeping the heart going through dissolving fat, cholesterol and lipid buildup in the arteries and blood vessels. I also remember the last line of the poem, which was quite impressive after 3-4 pages of recitation of body chemistry and chemicals. The last line was this: “So thought Hiawatha as he staggered from this Congress”.

I basically agree.

I'd just note that "decades away" means "an unforeseeable number of true advances away" - which could mean ten years or could mean centuries.

And private companies can't throw money indefinitely at problems others have been trying to solve and failing at. They can it once and a while but that's it.
I suspect things like this will converge towards AGI, and at a certain point, AI is going to be so embedded in our lives that whether or not it's truly conscious is going to seem like a pedantic distinction.

I also wonder if "blameless postmortem" culture perhaps actively works against preventing these kind of incidents. It doesn't seem that anyone in IT is ever responsible for damage they cause.

But then I started building other stuff with vite and I've been idly looking for a way to build everything all together — still using markdown for static text, but also have custom JS for my portfolio pieces. Very excited to try this out.
To support a bloated featureset on websites you need to have a bloated browser that can support all of them. You can reduce the support, but then you have to live with decreased compatibility.

I'm not aware of another solution that avoids both problems at the same time beyond blocking ads and trackers. The modern web can't be fixed directly from the receiving end. We do have a choice which sites we visit, though.
