" Corporate attorneys generally review all the company’s financial information from the last five years, including income statements, balance sheets, cash flow and audit reports. Other financial documents that may be reviewed include projections, budgets and forecasts for the financials of the next five years and assess whether they are reasonable. Finally, corporate attorneys generally review all credit agreements, debts and contingent liabilities. "

1. Gain of function is not as easy as you think.
2. Such bio-weapons are not likely because any virus released in the wild will mutate over time, and also because you cannot target "races" in the way you describe. Phenotypic traits span across geographical borders, and any attempt to do such a thing is likely to backfire.
I sense snark in this comment, but I'll answer anyways.

In Latin America, our culture is extremely conservative about taking risks. We're expected to get a job, settle down, live a nice life.

Generally entrepreneurship is frowned upon by our families and friends.
I would imagine this is not a medical assessment but a more liberal, laymen use of the words paranoid and narcissistic.

After all, MJ does alter the mind and broadens the worldview so to say, which could be called paranoid through a certain lens, and also dulls the senses and makes more tolerant for micro signs and non-verbal communication, which could be called, with some exaggeration, more narcisstic.
It wasn't that simple — IIRC, for a while Vary meant “don't cache anything, ever, under any circumstances” unless you made some custom configuration changes. Over time they _added_ support for just “Vary: Accept-Encoding” (IIRC less than a decade ago) and that was fragile. They improved that over time but it was painful for a number of years because there were various failure modes which meant things wouldn't be cached, or (IIRC) compression would be disabled for certain URLs sporadically if the first request for the option did not request transfer compression.
> Now... I'm absolutely convinced that marijuana use can have absolutely catastrophic mental health implications for some people. I'm also convinced it can help people with certain conditions.

Absolutely. I am cutting down on weed after seeing it wreck a friend. They were really bright and down to Earth, but they use weed to deal with anxiety and now need to smoke before hanging out with friends. Now they are fully dependent on weed.

It has turned them into an unbearable person with no motivation. My friend is now totally unaware of how much of an asshole they are and no one wants to deal with them.

Weed can be an awesome relatively safe drug but please look for the warning signs of dependence and know that r/leaves exists.
Presently I am less into it because I realized a few things

1. A lot of the things are either very expensive or very difficult. Ex: the probiotics david sinclar takes is like hundreds of dollars, NAD/NMN are expensive etc. Other things are difficult for my current life like getting access to heat exposure therapy (very hot dry sauna) or fasting protocols. Inside tracker with inner age is like $600 each time?

Also I realized that if I donated to methuselah foundation, I'm investing money into the future for others' treatments I'm unlikely to be able to afford myself (or marginally worse, I would have been able to afford, but I donated $$$ over time such that I marginally no longer could..)

2. There was little point looking at the extreme ends of longevity because I was missing major first steps like

Isn't the publisher's lawsuit still going forward in November of this year? It would be terrible if the Archive had to shut down because they decided to do an unnecessary experiment with copyright while simultaneously being tied to an irreplaceable, yet centralized, historical resource.

I donate to them with the hopes that they won't try to do anything that carries that kind of risk to their continued existence again.
> You need a bit of arrogance to think cannabis is on your side and you can dominate it, as I witnessed myself when I started stumbling as a teenager.

I have had similar experiences. Without your mind you are not you, a drug which changes the minds substrate (in some ways permanently) is going to be outside the control of the effected mind. Beware the Snoop Dogg pool party.

What happened to MariaDB? Not much, but unlike Netbeans (which is a complete disaster under Apache... a dying project maintained by a skeleton crew), it still has a commercial entity behind it, so it's trucking along relatively nicely. I mean, it's not like Oracle is investing tremendous amounts of time and money into MySQL either... there are still many, many things in the MySQL ecosystem that are second class citizens when compared to the big boys. Features like materialized views are yet to materialize etc.

Are cross-server transactions scalable? Would anyone architect a system that did them en masse unless they absolutely 100% had to?

I am just speculating here but I doubt that YouTube migrated to Spanner so that they could do cross-server transactions. I would think consolidating the Ops burden into the GCP org and also serving as a trophy "customer" were higher on the list of reasons. But again, just speculating...

This is nonsense. We change everyday through forgetting and remembering and learning. Physical and cultural evolution don't stop.

It's another sign of the selfish immaturity ingrained into our culture.

Selfish immaturity? It seems that you yourself is a reflection of culture.

One of our very first epic poems, the Epic of Gilgamesh basically railed against immortality and accepting one's fate.
This has a "trolley problem" feel to it. It's a contrived scenario that doesn't reflect real life.

I'm not suggesting that all our decision making is good. Terrorism vs heart disease just don't really compete. A model of the world where everything competes with everything isn't a good one for decision making. Just like "don't build a particle collider until we have solved poverty" is not a workable approach.

Terrorism & heart disease don't have the same consequences, socially, politically or geopolitically. We're not machines. Even in machines' decision making, such moral calculus doesn't really play. Self driving cars won't, and don't need to solve the trolley problem any more than we do.

..and don't underestimate our instincts. They may not be as "perfect" as legible reasoning, but they are far more complete.
Thanks for that insight! Sounds like maybe you've seen an interesting thing or two given your background.
> Are you really trying to equate a protests/riots against systematic racism, for gay rights, or against racism/assassination of MLK JR with a riot based on lie?

I think I’ve been very clear that I’m not equating anything to anything. It may be a useful exercise to review what was written as-is, without assigning arbitrary assumptions to underly it.

Your definition of an uprising equates all of these things together, even if you didn’t intend it, because your definition is ridiculously vague.

Essentially, you’ve gone into the deep-end of no-true-Scotsman — a protest constitutes a violent uprising, if a policeman is injured, and heads of state are verbally threatened, and if and only if that protest is the Capitol Hill protest (so as to exclude all other protests that do not meet the prior criteria).

If you exclude that last clause, it’s hard not to find a protest constituting an uprising. Not because I’m being overly pedantic, but because five dead at a protest is a fairly mundane protest, and fighting with the police is basically a requirement of any protest, as is calling for the deaths of everyone in charge, as far as US protests go.

MLK and Ghandi are famous because they avoided it — because avoiding violence at a protest is abnormal; you expect fights with the police (or whatever relevant authority) at any protest… it’s basically tablestakes (because someone always starts something, with enough of a crowd). That such violence occurs does not immediately elevate it to the level of “uprising”, because then you would have no protests/riots anywhere — just uprisings.
I don't think it's productive to talk about tax. Our economy should be designed in a way that workers capture a good proportion of their work. The problem at the moment is that when there are successful companies, a handful of investors and senior management capture practically all the gains. Amazon is an incredible company, and it's even more incredible that practically no one working at Amazon benefits from that.

Just letting that system persist and then hamfistedly grabbing the gains at the end and redistributing them is difficult for a huge number of reasons including both fairness and regulatory capture.

I think this depends on the artist (though perhaps you're already conceding this point with your "particularly for" qualifier). Caravaggio had masterful control of lighting and form, but was a murderer (manslaughterer). Someone who knows of DFW's interactions with Mary Karr would likely interpret Infinite Jest the same way as one who doesn't. I don't think ESR's politics have any bearings on cathedrals vis-à-vis bazaars.
After more than 30 years of daily cannabis use with occasional tolerance breaks I recently took an IQ test along with a series of mental evaluations and was in the 99th percentile. So maybe cannabis took me down just enough to avoid being one of those Mensa jerks?

It might be interesting and revealing to see the correlation between casual cannabis dismissal and low or reduced IQ, but of course that goes against the popular narrative and looking for potential errors isn't where most scientists focus since that isn't super glamorous or likely to get citations from publication.

Mind-boggling, maybe, but at the same time, while a $100T project would be "the largest human endeavor ever attempted" and consume a non-negligible fraction of the world's GDP no matter what time span you attempted it over, but the more surprising thing is that it's still a vaguely "real" amount of money. It's not a quintillion zillion dollars.

Same experience with a (art) therapist in a mental hospital (less than 1500 beds). Very persistent in asserting that weed causes some people to end up there. I don't think it's a good argument against legalization. We don't ban alcohol, because there are alcoholics. I think it would be smarter to regulate the recreational drug industry and use its taxes to fund relevant education, research and mental health programmes.
Is it though?

Hype causes people not familiar or well informed into the matter to get into it, hoping for big returns. Of course, they'll come out severely disappointed, but science and technology as a whole would have advanced, thanks to their efforts.

Going blind into something with a lot of hype is often an "ice-breaker" for humanity into new areas of study.

I had an app with a fairly complex and large set of tables and data and migrated it from mySQL to pg with very little trouble.

Edge is a very overloaded term that just means a server not in a datacenter imo, it could be a thick edge with 8 esx, hundreds or cores and gigabytes of memory in a shop or it could be a little single node box in a closet at someone’s home or it could be a light switch.

Technically they’re all edge, but nobody thinks K8s can run on the latter, but it might work on the prior two.
We are definitely looking to expand beyond the tech/silicon valley scene. We only started in this space because it's the kind of stuff we read, but we're looking into which spaces make the most sense to scale into, and we index new people every day.

Which areas/use-cases would you be interested in seeing?
I was curious so I looked up the differences here:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/

It doesn't sound too bad. The incompabilities seem to be mostly stuff like not being able to generally use replication from MySQL to MariaDB or vice versa. But I would guess that's not a very common case anyway: most users are either developers that want their software to work with both MariaDB and MySQL (which can be achieved by sticking to the very large intersection of supported features), or they are users that want to switch from MySQL to MariaDB (which seems well-supported). Running a mix of MariaDB and MySQL servers and expecting to be able to replicate between them seems like a particularly uncommon setup (though maybe it's useful during a migration).
It destroyed many people's careers, but it didn't destroy AI. There's a difference.
Right, but everybody has to learn that at some point. And I happen to be somebody who teaches such things. The importance of DNS is hard to overstate, but I go to great lengths to do exactly that, to make a point ;)
Mosh is great, but if you don't need the predictive terminal emulation, then you can try Eternal Terminal, which is easier to get running due to not needed an UDP port open.

> They had 1000 or so satellites when I first started testing, and there are now something like 1600 or so. Most of the time, I don't even notice when it switches satellites.

Enjoy the early adopter moment. Even if they keep increasing the numbers, they will probably move those new satellites in a much wider net to cover more subscribers the second they must show a profit.
> The c preprocessor replaces something by something else and the process is completely opaque. If you have multiple layers of macros, codes becomes impossible to follow, isolate and understand with a debugger or a profiler.

It's not true for Datatype99 & Interface99. Their code generation semantics are completely transparent to a user of these macros [1] [2].

> That has made our codebase extremely robust. We use real metaprogramming with our own tools, not hacks, and that gives us a tremendous competitive advantage because problems takes 1/10th or 1/100th the time for being solved.

If you use third-party tools and you're okay with that, I'm not saying you should stop using them, I'm saying that there is another solution with advantages over third-party tools [3].

If native macros haven't worked for your codebase, it doesn't mean they don't work for others. I would not say that the preprocessor is a thing to always avoid -- there are many examples why it is helpful, and even more helpful than any kind of third-party tools you can come up with.

> Usually the way things work someone creates a easy C macro to automate some small thing, then a month later someone else creates another macro that uses the macro in a two layer system, then someone else creates another macro over the macros and leaves the old macros there.

How third-party tools are different from native macros in this case?

Yes. I mean, there were cool ideas in the other seasons too, but the magic wasn't there. It just felt like a 90s sci fi, with higher production value.

Incidentally, season 3's ending... "artificial god in the ear" was also a theme taken from bicameral mind... implying a regression in humans as hosts progressed. There was also an updated ML-ish version of Asimov's psychohistory, an "escaping the simulation" theme that reminded my of Hotz..

All the ingredients (besides anthony hopkins) were there, the cake just didn't bake good. I think the just messed up on the basics, character motivations. In Season 1's storyline, all the characters were either confused and clueless or all knowing and mysterious, so character motivations didn't matter much.

The C preprocessor is definitely ill-suited for metaprogramming, but it was never the C way, was it?

The traditional way to do any kind of meaningful metaprogramming in C is just a printf() to a .h or .c file which then is included to your build.

There are a lot of projects doing that. Bison is supposed to be used this way, other projects are doing build configuration like that - by emitting a header with a ton of #define’s, and there’s a ton of languages which use C as a compilation target - and you can see what they are doing and get inspiration from that.

In my opinion it’s an extremely powerful model, much better than anything you can do with the preprocessor.
Thank you! I'm glad that landed where I wanted it to. It was a lot of fun to put together. I keep threatening to make a video. I need a collection of DNS memes so that I can just sideshow them.

That seems like "serious" is supposed to mean "plausible within current context" then, not a philosophical take infused with seriousness about the concept of consciousness and sentience in technological beings (which is what AGI is supposed to be, unless I misunderstand the definition of course).

From grief (Windward) to violence (Surface Details), to experience of long time scales (Hydrogen Sonata), to morality and playing (PoG), bickering and the limitations of even the seemingly unlimited (Excession), it seems to me like even with its fantastic takes at the edges the Culture covers a whole lot of ground for discussion.
Rather the opposite, they should be used only against “small crimes”, since those crimes are universal.

> I'm not sure what you mean here. Outside of, say, military usage, every single telecom company is a competitor to Starlink. Internet is internet.

That’s certainly true, but there are real physical limitations that make it hard to compete with Starlink without a LEO constellation.

Sure, you could do ground based infrastructure build outs, but the population density means it’s not profitable or you have to charge really high rates to make up the fixed costs. Other satellite providers can compete in the rural areas, but Geo and LEO are have important differences. The first is latency (internet is internet but 60ms internet is not the same as 600ms internet).

When I made the statement I did, I was mostly referring to satellite internet providers, because land based providers have largely abandoned or drastically underserved this market segment.

I don’t see a GEO constellation being able to provide a similar internet offering to Starlink ever, due to light delay. I don’t think ground based solutions will pop up to start competing for these low density market, because they’ve already been written off as unprofitable even before there was serious competition for the market.

> This commercial product is turning out to be what the "naysayers" thought it would be; brilliant if you're in a place with terrible internet, but noncompetitive in any kind of urban environment.

Well that’s probably because the naysayers were predicting the exact same thing as the supporters. Spaced has described Starlink consistently as being designed to service rural and suburban areas that are underserved by existing providers. The goals never were to compete with providers in super high density urban markets.

I’ve been a huge supporter of Starlink since the first announcement, and it’s shaping up pretty much how I imagined which also lines up with your description.
