The problems it solved for you are immensely useful to you, but not remarkable IMO.

The problem it's solving is that it can do things that somebody with zero experience cannot. If you had an auto parts pro, or an EE, they probably could have done the same for you.

So, in general, AI is helpful because it has a much larger breadth of knowledge. Granted.

But I want examples of it doing depth, too.

I guess they've never heard of the Streisand effect, and caused many people, including me, to google "Dan B" to understand who they were talking about.

I probably would have skipped over and forgot after half a second the existence of this person if his name was written in full in the first place.
I saw another article which included a screenshot of the mistake on facebook. The photo is blurry, and contains a side view of the person and iirc the backdrop is in nature. The main indicator that it was a person was the fact they were wearing clothing.

Soccer is a global sport, and cricket long ago became a part of South Asian identity. By contrast, sumo is played only in Japan (there is no Mongolian sumo league etc), to Japanese audiences, with Japanese sponsors.

What does this have to do with living in a free country? This isn’t the US government arresting someone because they’re pro-life. It’s a private company firing someone who disrupted their business interests. Pretty sure the US government is still one of the most fierce protectors of free speech and natural rights among developed nations last time I checked.

Your qualm is with cultural intolerance for conservative ideas. Which I agree is valid. But yeah, sorry, if you’re running a business and can’t understand that your business partners will be potentially offended by your own political statements, you deserve to get fired. Let’s not pretend this was some no-name engineer at a tech company in SV who got canned because they expressed a normal political opinion and their coworkers “just didn’t like it”. He’s the CEO and is the ultimate ambassador of the company and has a responsibility to read the room. Would you expect BMW or Mercedes to keep their CEOs if they made political statements about the human rights abuses and economic sabotage conducted by China? Let’s be real.

Do I sympathize with him that he freely spoke his mind and was inherently punished for it? Yes, in principle. But he’s a complete idiot for thinking he can do so without consequences in his position. There are always going to be cultural factors intwined in economics and sometimes they are not fair, but that’s the way the world has always worked.
I thought PH punishes this behavior. Certain friends of mine used to do this, especially those who are part of a cohort invested by the same group.

Somewhat unrelated, I've noticed that my rankings were punished on Google Play despite being organic traffic. There was a sharp drop during the user spike, then it went back up to normal after the initial viral spike subsided.

So I've always felt that the launch spikes were something to avoid. Does anyone have experience with this actually working?
The mRNA vaccines don't multiply. From the moment they enter the body, their total volume can and does go down, but not up. Compare that to the virus, which clones itself and tries to evade immune defenses. Even contrasting the two vaccines is not straightforward: Moderna uses 3x the amount of mRNA as Pfizer, but then their storage requirements are also less stringent.

Regarding location, it's more of an issue in the opposite direction: the fact that it is delivered through intramuscular injection gives a slower and poorer immune response in the mucosa, the first line of defense, compared to hypothetical, equivalent vaccines administered orally or nasally. Currently you have to rely on antibodies getting to the mucosa through your blood. We know that the virus can reach the brain, the GI system, etc., so there doesn't seem to be "total" protection. Of course, across different people and different immune responses, there's going to be a variable amount of viral proteins hitting throughout one's body.
If Google and Facebook have both failed with the billions they have spent on the problem, I think we can say yes, it is that hard.

>Unfortunately they’re solving the wrong problem. Censorship isn’t what make social media and blogging so toxic to our culture. It’s the lack of reputational cost to bad actors and the undeterred gathering of information.

Censorship is exactly why social media is so toxic. Everyone interesting has been banned from Twitter and Facebook for various reasons and the only people left are those with generally non-offensive opinions, or sheep.

Once you only have sheep it doesn't take much to start a stampede off a cliff.
I wish there was something like this for WebRTC data channels.
As a layperson, this begs the question of whether the spike proteins produced by the body's own cells following mRNA vaccination can produce a similar effect?

Does anyone versed in the subject know if there a reason why this should not be the case? I have read conflicting reports of accumulation/no accumulation in various organs and would like to understand.
I don't think that's necessarily true.

Raw cost of housing is essentially the cost of the land + the cost of the building.

In established cites the cost of land is high and developers tend to build expensive buildings on that land. Low-income workers than move to older buildings as they're cheaper (expensive land, cheap building).

In a new greenfield city the land will be very cheap (for whoever established the city) so that can keep the cost of housing down (cheap land, expensive building).
Sort of, but this is also sort of the point of owning your own fab!

Both here and worldwide, anyone that didn't vote for Trump likely has a contemptuous view of Trump and his supporters. He's arguably the stupidest person to ever hold office. He accomplished nothing but insult and denigrate people and institutions. His insecurities were pathetic, even modifying a NOAA map so he wouldn't be wrong.

He's a well known con man, and the opposite of "family values". Of course people hold his supporters in contempt.

Keep in mind that an attacker that can change source code can add a backdoor where there is none. Backdoors are dangerous because their keys can leak. In the case of Dual_EC a leak would have been particularly dangerous because the attack enabled by having the backdoor's key is passive, so not easily detected.

A backdoor rekey attack, if it lets the attacker gain a foothold that allows them continued access after the attack is detected. That is really bad!

What sort of consequences is the CCP anticipating as a result of the book's publication? If they expected none, they wouldn't have made the point of having Shum's ex-wife contact him. Assuming this book is targeting a US market, and most Americans are neutral or negative in their views of China, I don't see the needle moving much. And beyond trade deals, how can we influence them? We may not agree with their policies, we trade with them, we allow anyone here to write publicly about China, and life goes on as usual.

I feel like where we're at odds is in four places:

1. This is not a mainstream political belief. The law at the root of the current issue in Texas is far beyond the mainstream. The intention at some level is to shift the Overton window of what is mainstream in its favor, but that has not occurred yet.

2. It's not my responsibility to educate this guy to my point of view. I don't know him and I don't work with him. Actually the only thing I know about him is that he doesn't respect the rights of others that I feel are important, so I'm doubly disinclined to make his acquaintance. I would presume that some amount of discourse did occur within Tripwire, but I don't think we know.

3. I'm allowed to vote with my dollars. It doesn't have to be a glorious public crusade, and it may not make the slightest bit of difference. In this case, it certainly won't. But those dollars work for me, and I can choose to deploy them so as not to (tacitly or actively) support people or business who wish to harm myself and people who I identify with. That's what I have chosen to do, and others should make their own choices.

4. In a different scenario, I might indeed feel differently. I don't find that the slippery slope is a solid argument for why I can't take (lawful) action to preserve my values though.
This is an interesting idea but how does the cost compare both on computer resources and setup effort to scan the entire warehouse floor? Simply having robots with accurate motor encoders (and maybe IR sensors like in mice) and enough floor tags should allow the bots to move around the factory in safely defined paths. You can accomplish this with a basic microcontroller and can have robots quickly moving across the floor while scanning tags to update their positions. This image based system would allow more dynamic paths to be taken but now you need a much more expensive computer running image comparison and storing what I can imagine to be a massive image dataset.
Because cloud is commoditized VMs and VMware doesn’t have an edge in managing cattle at scale.

Their bread and butter is in managing pets and cloud providers expressly don’t want to encourage people to bring their pets into the cloud because people get mad when a few get killed.

OpenStack with the KVM backend is better than VMware at multi-tenancy so there really isn’t much value for VMware to add even over open source state of the art IaaS.
Couldn’t you apply the same way of thinking to finding a cure for AIDS, or doing interstellar travel, or P = NP, or pretty much any problem that we haven’t solved yet?

tl;dr for the article -- In order for the universe to be a simulation, there'd need to be someone who'd want to simulate it. The plausibility of them wanting to simulate the universe would seem to decrease as the cost of the simulation goes up. So, the more complex the universe can be established to be, the less likely it'd seem to be a simulation.

---

Seems like a neat line of consideration, though perhaps not too compelling as an overall assessment so much as an exploration into a thought-experiment.

For example of an obvious limitation, let's say that Alice wants to figure out if she's living in a simulation, so she goes about trying to establish the complexity of the universe, perhaps working to establish higher values for the lower-bound to better evidence the proposition that the universe isn't a simulation. While it might seem like Alice could seek to arbitrarily raise that bound, Alice herself would seem to be finite in complexity -- and so if we consider Alice as a finite-state-machine, then the lower-bound of a full solution to tricking her would be of finite-complexity. And even a requirement for that much complexity would still rely on an assumption that Alice's mind is perfect and outside of any mechanic that might frustrate such an analysis.

This is, an analysis based on the universe's total complexity might make more sense if someone wanted to assume a specific form of the universe. However, if someone wants to prove that they're not a brain-in-a-jar, then they'd seem to have more trouble establishing a significant lower-bound.

Beyond that, the idea of a straight simulation -- like in a straight physical program run on a modern-day electronic computer -- would seem like a naive background assumption. Neat as a starting place for a thought-experiment, though perhaps not so useful as an actual mode of analysis.

All of that said, thought-experiments like this might help motivate conceptions of what kinds of simulations might be more plausible. Because while the concept of ANY simulation would be pretty general, arguments like this might be applied to assess the plausibility of specific types of simulations. For example, it'd seem reasonable enough to say that the universe's complexity seems to be of sufficient vastness that the universe probably isn't a simulation maintained for the specific purpose of calculating 1+1=2.
> gender equality

Women have the right to terminate the potential life of a child, on the principle that it's their body so their choice.

Men have no opt-out to 18 years of child support even if the child was conceived due to deception, etc. Somehow the 18 years of work, and the effects of that work on their body, do not count under the principle of their body, their choice.

I would say there is already not gender equality on this issue. The principle that is the foundation of abortion rights (in other states than Texas anyway) is not being applied consistently.

- in a system design interview i was asked how to prevent data corruption from two requests targeting the same key

it seems as though there’s a whole world where all the noSQL companies are trying to solve all the problems that relational db had solved.

It is a convenience difficult to live without I can give you that. But so many other services we can't imagine living without require a cellular number. Accepting a flawed authentication mechanism and legal but abusive privacy breaches is what have kept them up and running.

The Hollywood blacklist was run by private companies too. A country isn't just its government. A country is its norms, people, and culture. And if the culture creates an atmosphere of fear and self-censorship, that fear is no less real just because the government hasn't entered the picture.

> Let’s not pretend this was some no-name engineer at a tech company in SV who got canned because they expressed a normal political opinion and their coworkers “just didn’t like it”.

That happens all the time. You just usually don't hear about it on the news. A lot of people also keep their mouths shut, both inside and outside work, because they know that they're surrounded by people chomping at the bit to get someone fired for having the wrong opinions. After the Eich affair, lots of people adopted a policy of no public donations for anything whatsoever.

This is not normal and it's not healthy.

> if you're looking at it, it's obviously important enough to simulate.

basically the argument I was trying to make is: if it wasn't simulated I wouldn't be looking at it, and I wouldn't find it strange at all because I would be living in a world where that thing doesn't exist

> and what, specifically, do you think you would notice if it was in some way simplified?

exactly, I wouldn't notice anything.

My argument is: if those beings are so smart that they created this awesome simulation, how could they be so dumb that they wasted time simulating unneeded details?

It's a fortunate thing that consumers of electricity pay for it individually. That way, it's not really a matter of public concern.
