We’re currently in the very early phase of our understanding of what intelligence is. The more we learn about it, the more we appreciate the staggering scale and complexity of the problem. So at the moment yes, it seems like the objective is receding into the distance faster than our progress towards it can keep up.

1960s - Herbert Simmons predicts "Machines will be capable, within 20 years, of doing any work a man can do."

1993 - Vernor Vinge predicts super-intelligent AIs 'within 30 years'.

2011 - Ray Kurzweil predicts the singularity (enabled by super-intelligent AIs) will occur by 2045, 34 years after the prediction was made.

So the distance into the future before we achieve strong AI and hence the singularity has been, according to it's most optimistic proponents, receding by more than 1 year per year.

Eventually I believe we will get a good enough understanding of the subject that we can map out a route to implementing AGI, and then our progress will accelerate towards a known and understood goal.
I am currently on a (hopefully) three-month "vacation" between jobs, and the only thing I regret is that it cannot go on forever.
Just guessing, but, lump sum may be more than the current amount that the person has contributed, but less than what the pension guarantees but may not be able to attain. That is, person may have put in 100k; and a payout is 150k. That seems like a loss, except the pension may also be built around assumptions of 7% growth in that 100k per year; in reality it may be seeing only 3% growth. Better to get it off the books than have to service it in 30 years. And for the individual, better to get more and be able to invest it elsewhere, than to risk it in a pension that may go under or otherwise be unable to meet the level of return you expect. So, win/win.
I mean the entire disadvantage, not just what PFOF would provide.
That’s true but a percentage of all people, gay or straight, are pedophiles. I think the reason the church is associated with boys in general as there was easier access to boys (this may not be the case and I could be speaking in ignorance.)

I also read that the church itself doesn’t have a higher rate of sexual abuse than any other institution that works with kids (e.g. schools.)
“In the end, you can’t fix the world if you’re not in a positive mindset.”

I can see how the shame of consumption can slow innovation. Especially when it gets to the point that you’re analyzing the best way to ship a laptop to your office to even get started...

Enjoyed the advice on burnout. Many tech companies now recruit on mission statements as much as on pay and when you fail to live up to that mission your employees will rethink staying put.
Still no references then. I didn't ask for experiments; any decent journalism would suffice.

You're assuming the government is a monolithic entity, either corrupt or not. The truth is that often corruption is widespread but there are people at the top trying to fix it. That's not an easy task, and it's where keeping good, unforgeable records can help. That's why several governments are in fact running pilot blockchain programs.
When we were taught Java at university, we were taught it using BlueJ because it could visualise objects and had some other beginner friendly features. For our assignments we were given the choice of using BlueJ to write the code, or JEdit. Considering BlueJ was horrible to use for me as a power user and pretty decent at PHP back then, I struggled really hard. JEdit was came to the rescue. It certainly wasn't the best, but it good enough and loved it.
In fairness, "predates every other option you might compare it to" really is a good excuse.

> I believe that's how Weave worked. The newer Firefox Sync included (still includes?) sharing capabilities that call that into question.

A quick search online makes it seem like Mozilla still has no ability to read what you sync. E.g. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_Sync you see:

> It keeps user data on Mozilla servers, but according to Mozilla the data is encrypted in such a way that no third party, not even Mozilla, can access user information. It is also possible for the user to host their own Firefox Sync servers, or indeed, for any entity to do so.

I can't find independent verifications, but I would trust Mozilla about this at this point. But I'm not sure what sharing capabilities you refer to so I can't really speak to that.
My most typical weight on the Sierra portion of the PCT, with a typical amount of water, food, was about 30 lbs. That includes warm clothes, tent, bear canister, microspikes (but no ice axe). And my luxuries: Crocs, Kindle, inflatable pillow. No stove.

But where I started (mile 652, Walker Pass) was hot with no sure water until 30 miles in, so for that stretch I started with 13 liters of water, my total weight about 45 pounds.

On a 5-day, 4-night trip I'll bring 4-5 pounds of food. I'm getting better at not carrying more water than I need. If I have to go 10 miles to the next water, I'll drink up and carry 3 liters.
> A couple of people naturally pointed out that a shell script that did the same thing was much shorter than 45 bytes, to which my response was always that a shell script is not an executable, and if you want to consider scripts then you need to include the size of the interpreter binary along with the script size.

By the same reasoning, this article is cheating, since all you are doing is putting your interpreter binary in the kernel. So you have to add the size of your kernel module at least ;P

Not hard to write a "runcom" or the like loader entirely in userspace, btw.

>It seems to me that pensions are one thing governments can do a good job at, because companies may fail but the government is much less likely to be unable to pay retirement benefits.

Illinois and New Jersey beg to differ. Granted checks haven't bounced yet but it's pretty clear weird stuff is gonna happen and either pensioners or taxpayers will get screwed bad.
>With regards to firmware, the FSF believes that 2 is better than 1. That is stupid. How do you not see that?

your comparison with MS is ridiculous. FSF software is open. do with their software what you like. FSF believes it should not help you with 1 or 2 due to its principles, and that is OK. why wouldnt it be? the source is there so help yourself if you really want something that they are not willing to help you with (even if they often do apparalently)

anyway this whole exchange is becoming tyring to me. a lot of these comments by people seem to be more about vaging a crusade against FSF than it is about discussing issues in good faith. its somewhat dissapointing, esspecially since i only just realised who marcan is. as far as i am concerned, i am completely unconvinced by marcan and co that FSF is a deceptive organisation and that their work is somehow bad for free software. quite the opposite, i am happy that they exist. i say this simply as a spectator. to me the following comment on their website just clearly shows that they are aware that products they certify run nonfree code:

"If and when free software becomes available for use on a certain secondary processor, we will expect certified products to adopt it within a reasonable period of time. This can be done in the next model of the product, if there is a new model within a reasonable period of time. If this is not done, we will eventually withdraw the certification"

(source given elsewhere in the exchanges)

i do not feel deceived in the slightest. if deception is happening it seems to be regarding FSF's position. take care

This is interesting, I've never heard of Gemini before... shame on me.

My first thoughts as an older internet builder, is that you're going to need a `mod_php` of some kind, call it `mod_gemini` for Apache to allow hosts and hosting ISPs to basically just have the ability to ftp and present "webpages" (what are they called, "geminipages"?) - same for nginx, caddy, etc. but not as trivial as it needs to present on another port.

Asking people to host their own webserver is basically the biggest show-stopper at this stage. Offering easy drop-in solutions like we used to have in the earlier days of PHP is crucial.

I had a look at the markup and a priori, it seems very straight forward, almost markdown like, which I like. Consider adding support to gemini to popular static site generators like Hugo etc.

From there you can build a small golang or python local client, like the early "dropbox client", living as a service on your computer that would convert html via beautifulsoup or other `outline.com` type converter to gemini on the fly, host it locally including local server, including proxy-ing the web links you visit, stripping all the javascript crap and cookies-we-want-to-fill-your-pantry-click-here-or-die-a-thousand-modals.

Sure, you won't have half the web working, but you still will have most of the important parts. Imagine browsing the web with Safari reader, almost a dream at this stage.

The content is what makes the web, not the interactivity, as much as people would like to believe. The essence of the internet is the thoughts it carries, not buttons that wobble when you hover them.

At that point, you can start talking about caching of online services in the gemini space - sort of like a shared global cache of internet content - with only the content and images/media making it through, start with blogs and websites that care about markup quality... No one will care at this stage because it's too niche, and because you're not caching linkedin or social medias, leave that crap behind please.

By that stage, start thinking about a search engine and classifiers, and you start having your own island of "new internet" going in the opposite direction of the metaverse, and "the people" (basically anyone that has installed an ad-blocker) will jump in with two legs, two arms, and their entire being - they just don't know it yet.

Explicitly referencing the mechanical Turk would be better, and a bit more explicit on the approach.

I think the actual reference might be to a Calvin and Hobbes strip, but adding that it's a little person in the atm vs just a person -- an unnecessary addition.

There are all kinds of projects that are potentially useful but not necessarily profitable. Having more millions of dollars means you could do more of them.
I have always been amazed at the high voter turnout in many countries (even in the pre Facebook days). I think a big part of it is because your vite counts in most countries as they don’t have the equivalent of a first-past-the-post type of system like the electoral college. Many people in the Bay area didn’t vote in the Presidential election because they knew the outcome for sure. I assume it’s the same sentiment in Texas and New York State.
Ah yes, that really helps, you can keep each other out of the wind and rotate the leader. That would certainly help your average speed. Still, quite a trip.

The difference between 100km and 200+ is significant, most people could probably do 100 km trips if they tried, my mom did these until she was well into her 70's, but around 150 or it changes and 200+ is really a different game. I'm not sure what the cause of that is, it's definitely not a linear increase.
The whole phrase is the problem. Impyig that it's okay to put a "midget" in a bad situation to cover your own failings

So on one top-level comment we have someone arguing about just writing the entire file to disk and don't bothering; while on the other top-level comment someone argues that the zip algorithm should already be using constant memory anyway.

Nice. The code quality could be better though.
In Steve Jobs' defense, he begged Adobe to make Flash work on iPhone like four times and they couldn't make it work.

This isn't because Flash on phones would just never work[0]; but that Adobe was unresponsive to Apple's concerns. They viewed the iPhone as "just another thing to put Flash on" rather than something that absolutely needed special attention from the Player team. And it absolutely did need special attention.

As an extra insult to injury, Adobe's CEO refused to take Steve Jobs' phone calls[1].

[0] It absolutely could; it would have required implementing hardware-accelerated video, composited animation rendering, and the conditional-tap-to-click behavior that Safari used to handle rollover menus. Instead, Adobe handed Flash developers StageVideo, Stage3D, separate touch events, and told the developers to sort it out themselves.

[1] For context, every company involved with early iPhone software was on Steve Jobs' speed dial.
We do not observe teleportation, time travel or warp drive in nature. We also don’t have any practical theory for achieving them as depicted in science fiction. It seems unlikely we will achieve such technologies.

Do we observe general intelligence in nature though, here on Earth implemented with the materials available in our environment? If so, it’s a bold claim to make that it will always be impossible to achieve it artificially.

> All of them by men.

You are also a man, and I'm sure you're aware that there are much stronger cultural narratives around men rescuing women than the other way around.

That's pretty flowery language for "basically all your data is readable by us". It's pretty ridiculous they would do this without an explicit opt-in.
It's easy to forget that this little beast is all pervasive and can be customised so much. Every time I set up a new Mac, I feel happy it is here, but scared that one day it will just stop working. The perils of closed source, I guess.

Thank you for jEdit. It is my favorite editor that I have used next to vim for the past 13 years.

It does SO many things right, that I can't find a single editor that can do the same things well. Combined with some of the plugins, that I haven't found good replacements for, it is one of my favorite pieces of software ever.

Thank you.
Seems to me that this is an effect of selection. Why are people not satisfied with having million dollars? Because the personality type who could become satisfied with having million dollars, would probably also be satisfied with having half million dollars, so they are unlikely to ever have the million dollars in the first place.

People who want "exactly one million, not less, not more" are less frequent in population than people for whom no amount of money is ever enough.
As far as I'm aware European companies usually pay monthly so the pile of cash is even bigger there.

About half way between iPhone 5 and iPhone 6. Or at least feels that way.

Eh.. It's not that bad really. It's their own service and it's pretty unobtrusive. I'm not saying I like it at all, but it's a lot better than microsoft's ad notifications on windows. The windows notification immediately triggers a stress reflex in me now.
To add to this, it might also be a good feature to output EDL files for video editors.

> The result was that "TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints

This is not due to poor training, it's the result of Directed Attention Fatigue, and it can't be fixed by better training.

People trying to get weapons on planes is rare, and a screening agent's typical day will involve looking at thousands of ordinary, boring scans with no intervention required. In situations like this, the mind starts to fill in the blanks and predict what the next scan will be and effectively "zones out".

The best way to fix the problem would be to introduce a steady stream of "false weapons" into the screening process and reward the agents for finding them. Of course, that would be disruptive in other ways.

It's not that the agents are not stupid, lazy, or poorly trained. It's just how we humans are wired.

BTW, this is the same reason why the "human assisted" self-driving cars are so dangerous. Humans can't be constantly vigilant when nothing is happening.

Sure we can blame the TSA agent for failing to find the knife. We can (and will) blame the drivers for not taking over control. But in both cases, the problem is that people have designed systems that assume humans can simply choose to ignore our own psychology, and do so at scale.
People who can retire are wealthy. They have a claim on [10, 20, 30] years of an income stream in the future. This can either be a claim on future tax revenues (public pensions) or on return to capital previously invested (private pensions). Most people have always worked til they died and it seems unlikely that the system where people work for 30-40 years and then get 30-40 years of pension will last.
Don’t know about PyCharm, but in other JetBrains IDEs you command-click on a function name and it takes you to the declaration, and command-click on the declaration opens the list of invocations.
> Every game can be paused/stopped by hitting one button

Being able to play anytime/anywhere for any length of time and the feeling of coziness that you get from being in your own gaming pod make handheld gaming particularly appealing.

As you note with Diablo 3, grindy RPGs are particularly great on handhelds.

Advantages of the Switch over smartphones include physical buttons and joysticks (though regular and Switch-style attached controllers are also available for phones), games that are largely untainted by intrusive "free to play" monetization schemes, and Nintendo's outstanding first-party game library.

Disadvantages are carrying and managing an extra (and somewhat bulky) device, more expensive games, and the lack of plausible deniability.
Interestingly, I just noticed a Zip Pay option here on a UK retailer's site, and in this case there doesn't appear to be any flat fee involved; the 4 payments add up to exactly the standard retail price of the product. I guess this probably varies depending on local credit-issuing regulations.

(Checking the T&Cs shows that they do have a steep fee for any missed/late payments, in addition to whatever cut they're taking from the merchant. But it looks like here, the few weeks of credit really would be "free" to the customer provided payments are made on time. Not that I'd consider using them; my cashflow isn't so constrained that I need the service -- and if it was, I'd be more concerned about the risk of being late with a payment and getting stung for extra fees.)
The biggest things that cause friction in SublimeText compared to jEdit are the tabbed views instead of separation between Buffers/Views.

Then there's hypersearch, which is still the most versatile search implementation in an editor IMHO. (Perhaps a ripgrep integration underneath would speed it up!)

And there are the Highlight and SFTP plugins which are amazing and surprisingly hard to find (not that there aren't any, just not with the same specific nuances).

I could wax poetic all day. Thanks for jEdit.
How is Apache as an SSL terminator on 2.6? 2.4 failed hard on me when I had a popular blog post, and I switched to nginx.
I was mostly meaning it as in: "who are we to judge", as opposed as to "we are all assholes". I'm sure plenty are assholes, plenty are not, and many women are too.

But my point was, any of us could be much worse, including those pointing the finger at Picasso, the main difference being that we don't have our lives open for all to see, as is the case with someone like Picasso.
