I once tried joining elite group at uni but when they started solving N-dimensionals puzzles I just got depressed and left.

My advice is enjoy what you have and enjoy yourself and be kind. You have to be born ultra talented or compromise a lot. Some of these people in elite group cried openly that they didin't have childhood due to study (and some still went on easy mode and now aren't even in field as got bored. Such is life)

I for example started coding when I was 12 on extracircular stuff and guy from these classes he studied a lot and now is doing well at Google Zurich. You could think he's smart (and indeed he is). Still I myself wouldn't trade my time exploring more - hacking, playing MMOs with friends, trying to create games, balroom dancing etc. This is stuff that I still remember fondly.

Anyway if you are fine with trading some comfort then probably there's some cool startup that would hire you

All that blocks most people is comfort and fear of death.
We already live in world full of opportity.
Elon said he had epithany after trying to live only on noodles for month. Steve Jobs also had interesting talk.

My bro-in-law traveled half of world fot free (Couchserfing). My other nighbour got killed in Africa. Such in life. I still think risking more to pursue dreams is worth it.

smart != wise so don't beat yourself

Also "shallow" skills combined often are more practical and valuable, just hard to market

To sum up my advice and life experience: be kind and squarely to yourself. Jesus was onto something
> This the kind of generalization you often see from dabblers and rarely see from actual historians or even amateurs with a solid understanding of history. The complexity and rigidity of legal systems in various parts of the world varies greatly depending on the era, the health of the political and socioeconomic systems in that era, whether or not the systems in question are based in civil law or common law, etc. And the idea that there's a straight line from Justinian to Napoleon is ludicrous as well. It glosses over 1300 years of legal history showing large fluctuations in the level of legal complexity because it's either inconvenient for the author to deal with or because the author is unaware of it. Regardless of the reason for the omission, it's a sign of the author's laziness.

I don't really get this criticism in response to what you quoted. He's talking about the dynamics, not the state. Your statement that the level of complexity waxes and wanes in different eras is perfectly compatible with a dynamic trend towards greater complexity in the absence of exogenous shocks (e.g. revolution, war, etc).

You seem to be confusing noise around the trend with its structural non-existence. The fact that things move around and occupy different levels at different times does not negate the existence of statistical structure.
Silent switches saw quite an uptake since past two years or so. Never had matias quiet click myself but based on YouTube vids I'd say you can go a whole lot quieter without losing tactility these days. I run an office setup with U4S these days, these are good to go out of the box if you don't like to mod them. They are so silent your coworkers keyboards will sound loud in comparison. Their tactility is still awesome. If you go less tactile you'd have zilents v2 which require some lubing to remove annoying spring pings but after are a good option. Silent alpacas are like a whisper when you prefer linear.

With brands like keychron and ducky now providing hotswap options on Q1 or Ducky 3 entering custom builds became a lot easier as these provide big runs which allow you to buy from a shop rather than joining limited group buys with nowadays 6-12 months lead times (and selling out in minutes or taking raffles). It isn't the quality of say Monokei, TGR or Keycult but that is expected for the budget range they play.

Having gone beyond entry market years back I'd say it today still brings me the most joy of any hardware upgrades I make to my computer setup. Walking up to my desk seeing a full custom is something I like.
I met him while on opposing teams on the BBC's Only Connect show. Excellent chap. We beat his "QI Elves" team, (which then beat the team that beat us...).
Based on this article I see nothing new idea wise, but the reputation of the authors hopefully encourages policy makers to take AI risks seriously.

As the second to last paragraph points out, the book doesn’t delve into some modern day controversies to make its points. The pros being the ideas might be spread further, maybe even to China. The cons being the book isn’t as timely and impactful as it could be. It seems like a good trade off to me.

If you want a good legal laugh, swap sugar for Glycine, its found in sugar cane anyway, about 22% of it is glycine, so spoon it into your hot beverages, sprinkle it on your food and sit back and enjoy like your haven't laughed since you were kid! You will also smell nicer. Word of warning, you might get into trouble laughing at things that require a sombre or serious attitude so dont blame me if you get sacked from your job!

The Napoleonic Code which most of the world's law systems are based on was based itself on the Roman law system.

Pretty much how modern geometry is based on the discoveries of ancient geometers like Euclid or Archimedes.
I think a neutron star is fully degenerate; effectively it's all core. It's not made of atoms; it's more like a huge atomic nucleus. It's much more dense than the "super-dense" gas these researchers are playing with.

A newly-formed neutron star should contain about as much heat as the stellar core that collapsed to form it, but in a much smaller space; so I'd expect it to be super-hot. WP says it's temperature is around 600,000K.

So rather than becoming transparent, I'd guess that a neutron star would be super-reflective. It's surface is ultra-smooth, and I can't see a photon getting far into a neutron star without encountering a neutron. Newly-formed neutron stars lose heat very quickly, but they do that by emitting huge numbers of neutrinos, not photons.
You may just have opened a Pandora's box.
Why bother? It is one checkbox in the settings and then every keyboard has caps as control.

If you customize lots of things and carry your keyboard to many different computers, I guess doing it in hardware is marginally "better" than just using software, but ctrlcaps is common enough that the software is just there by default.
JSON numbers, just like all human readable formats, are decimal... it's not like binary double values are printed out in to JSON in hex or base64

Sure 99% of decoders convert them to and from binary doubles, but that's purely an implementation choice.

For me, the Blues just feel perfectly snappy and quick. I really like the Red switches as well and if I was using a keyboard in an office environment, I'd probably go for Reds as the Blues have an audible click. But in the privacy of my home with no one else around, I find the typing experience to just be really fun and snappy on Blue switches. Your fingers can easily race over the keyboard (assuming you're not bottoming them out!)
Before I got my Happy Hacking I had both control and escape on caps lock, but with HH, I have no problem using the default escape, which is closer there than on regular keyboards.
Seems like internet new (maybe last) phase is about "selling everything". sigh
I don’t think they wrote this book to push an agenda for personal gain. It seems like a standard, reasonable caution of what could come to pass from irresponsible use of AI. And they are actually more qualified than the usual crowd warning of these risks.
>What kind of sick mind will want a giant borg cube with 3 billion humans miserable at being overpowered by the other 4 billion?

They don't call themselves sick. They call themselves globalists, progressives. In their generosity they want to impose others by force their own ideas, convinced that they know what is best for each of the World's 7 billion individuals.
it annoys me to an unbelievable levels that all that CRUD SaaS crap is called "tech" nowadays.

right, but doesnt the alledged spill over effect of increasing the price on the unregulated exchange, impact the price regardless of exchange?

You don't ask for btc price X on coinbase versus btc price Y on biance? Wouldn't you just care about the price of btc? and if it rises on certain exchanges, then it would arbitrage until it rose on other exchanges as well?
Except to have some skin in a game, you actually have to have that skin in the game. To put a monkey as your profile picture on Discord or Twitter, you can just do that without owning the monkey. If anything, not owning it is better social proof.

I don’t want to tell you what to do, but I hope in my heart that you’ll keep doing this recursively until the mask falls off.

I wouldn’t even be mad if you kept the money.
Ok, thanks for the information, I guess that would make it like a botnet.

There's still a remote possibility that they have changed their behaviour, since their post about end-user awareness and monetary compensation is somewhat newer than your references, but at this point I would need some independent third party vetting about that to convince me.
HyperCard 3.0 was an unreleased in-development version of HyperCard that Apple was developing in the late 1990s before the entire project was cancelled. So I suspect that wasn't the version your parents got you!

> Henry Kissinger, America’s pre-eminent living statesman

Henry Kissinger is a war criminal. That doesn't mean he can't write interesting books (and his intelligence & experience are obviously immense) but it does mean he doesn't deserve that kind of flattery and respect.
They’re a real pain to move. The article barely covers the myriad benefits of being able to have a collar like this to do virtual herding/fences:

* more flexible and appropriate sizing of grazing areas based on current herd size and where the grass is literally greenest

* the above can also increase dairy yield per sq/m by a considerable amount (I can’t recall the exact numbers I was quoted)

* multiple startups I’ve spoken to in this area also think they’ll be able to use on device biometric sensors to detect when cows need to urinate. Before that happens herd them to dedicated area or drainage pans. Again expected increases in yields and less pasture damage.

* biometrics also provide early indicators of potential health issues.

Nothing wrong with wire fences though. They’ve clearly worked fine for over a hundred years.
Not all art is a 2D image. Sculpture, light shows, dance and music, just a few examples of art that aren't the same when not viewed in real life.
Really hard to believe that a CEO of a company with the motto "don't be evil" could write a book with Kissinger. It's unsurprising that the book's main push seems to be for more AI war research as a method of saving lives.
Nix has a stable channel (six-month release cadence, with one month of support overlap), which isn't LTS, and even just the stable channel is "expensive" enough to be difficult for the project to justify. Supporting LTS has a genuine non-trivial cost in engineering man-hours. Nix has the technological underpinnings to make it easier to support LTS, in theory, but in all likelihood there won't be an LTS channel without corporate sponsorship providing funding to employ LTS maintainers, akin to Red Hat / IBM, Canonical, SUSe, etc.

Consider threads like https://discourse.nixos.org/t/what-should-stable-nixos-prior...
I agree with what you're saying, but I don't see any discussion of risk in any conversation about JS programming (and I'm only picking on JS because of the OP - Ruby and Python aren't any better, and even Rust is heading the same way).

For example (taking one of the top results for "javascript dependency management" at random): https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/a-guide-to-dependen... talks about all the dependency management methods available. The word "risk" is not in that article. There is no paragraph saying "be aware that none of these package managers audit any of the packages they serve, and you are at risk of supply-chain attack if you import a dependency using any of them".

This doesn't get any better as you get more expert. I've had conversations with JS devs who've been professionally coding for years, and none of them are aware of it (or if they are, treat it as a serious threat). You can see the same in the comments here.

If there's not even any discussion of risk, and no efforts to manage it, then it's not really a relevant factor. No-one is considering the risk of importing dependencies, so the 0-100 scale is permanently stuck on 100.
Rollbacks are a convenient benefit that you get from using Nix.

Nix (and guix) allow for a declarative description of a package, (or, e.g. a collection of packages). In addition to rollbacks, I think some of the other benefits are neat.

e.g. Usually for running some project I see on GitHub, I have to copy-paste the "apt install <whatever>" command; or maybe even run a "curl https://example.com/install.sh | sh". Some projects provide a Docker image, allowing the program to be run without changing what's installed in the system. -- Nix allows for the advantages of each of these (e.g. being able to run the program without installing it into your system, or allowing for a simple command to install it).

e.g. VSCode has a Remote Containers plugin which allows for quickly getting started with a project by using a Docker container as an execution environment. Or things like GitHub Code Spaces or ReplIt aim to provide quick-start environments for developing code. -- I think nix-shell offers similar benefits. (Nix can even be used to describe a Docker image format, instead of using a Dockerfile).

e.g. something like "install this package, but with this different set of build flags enabled" is relatively straightforward in Nix.

But Oxylabs isn't selling access through their NordVPN customers as residential proxies, are they?
Alfa Romeo Cars are usually have minimal electronic onboard. Probably only the Stelvio has some more
I don't understand why it would be sarcasm on any site. That is the original divergence, Guix was a version of Nix built on Guile instead of Nix.

If you're a long-time lisper interested in the ideas embodied by nix/guix, that alone is a lot of points for guix.
Actually, I was about to rent a big server and download the torrent as I wanted to build a reverse image search for NFTs. But since it's not 19TB, I won't do it.
Doesn't matter what I'm wearing. But I need to be under the covers (my fortress¡)
But why?

As per the spirit of parent's question - either you're assuming something impossible, or you're setting a goal to achieve something that is possible (in which case why haven't you scoped it out clearly & sanely).
Not a particularly important distinction in this context. Both 2000 and 1700 are greatly larger than "a few centuries".
Well, then how many % of crypto volume happens on properly 'regulated' exchanges? And what are the requirements those exchanges must meet (are they held to the same standard as major stock exchanges, for example?)
Kissinger is evil and schmidt has committed much evil. They are well suited
Maybe it's me, but I've noticed that C++ isn't that intimidating at all. It has its intimidating things for sure, but I feel C is much more intimidating. The reason for that is that modern C++ has quite a few features. So in certain cases that means that you don't have to program things in a cumbersome way. I always felt like that with C.
Wikipedia:

“ According to historian and Kissinger biographer Niall Ferguson, however, accusing Kissinger alone of war crimes "requires a double standard" because "nearly all the secretaries of state ... and nearly all the presidents" have taken similar actions. But Ferguson continues "this is not to say that it's all OK."”
Going by the flow chart, that's a planet.
Really stupid question: I thought I've used a 24bit DAC, on some high end sound equipment. Why is this special/noteworthy?
Please realize that if you're famous like Henry Kissinger you pay people to scrub your wikipedia page. Don't learn about Kissinger from Wikipedia.
you mean "nearly all the secretaries of state ... and nearly all the presidents" are war criminals?
Awful tone, low quality writing. What's going on over at the Economist?
Think of it as breaking out of the games, imagine something like steam profile avatars/pictures etc. tied to your identity that you can use on any page that implements it.
It would be interesting to get a comparison of this calculus with Joy's (http://joy-lang.org). Is it anything you have thought of?
I had a somatic variant.. for some reason I couldn't operate my left fingers[0]. I'd type and all of a sudden signals would jam and nothing would move. I had moments in life where my hand got bruised, or frozen and I couldn't 'use' it but I could still feel it. Something in my brain was still there. But the last time it felt like my brain could not find the fingers, it left a void which felt like a silent death. I wonder if people suffering hemi/quadriplegia or any form of handicap have that sensation.. I hope not it's difficult to bear.

How anyone thinks all this isn’t a bubble is beyond me…
I moved to NixOS and came back to Arch because setting up development environments for general purpose computing felt tricky. I was on a schedule so had to drop it. Is it the same for Guix? I don't know why it should be any different. But still asking.

Also, am guessing people will likely have hardware compatibility issues for Guix which isn't a problem for NixOS since they bundle non-free drivers etc.
How to Stop Caring What Other People Think of You
> A group of friends who enjoy each others' company ought to build something together.

Yes, but pretty sure it's considered a fact for the past many 1000's of years it shouldn't involve money.

Like build an abstract play group for your kids where it doesn't matter when people don't turn up. Pre encrypted group messaging we used to run an online community just for friends.

> “Let's buy a bar together”

This causes a lot of friction if you know anyone who's done it.

Buying into a racehorse might not? As long as it doesn't do well, then see the bit about money.

It's a good idea, everyone sees how families and couples do better than single people, and thinks about getting larger again. But you need really strong frameworks which seems an unsolved problem. A lot of families fight about wills.

Buying land together is a very common dream, it doesn't seem to happen much. Talk to your friends about land. Beach, Forest, City, Native, Sculptured, Hunting, the fact for holiday homes it's cheaper to rent, what happens when they move, can they sell, divorce, serious falling outs, are they ready now? Most people I know on communes are all nuts in their way and illegally living, these are probably features.
Vectorizing by hand is not very difficult, but even for moderately complex loops it gets tiresome very quickly. And that is before considering loop peeling for vector alignment, adding both vector and scalar remainder loops and loop multiversioning.

This is really something you want your compiler to take care of. And that indeed is something icc excels at. You just don't have to care about code size, because that _will_ grow, big time.

And no, Intel's new LLVM-based icx compiler is not at the same level yet as the (now 'classic') icc compiler.
