Reading these comments has me concerned about even installing Windows and Linux on different partitions of the same drive. Should I be concerned? I have an unused but relatively new Thinkpad onto which I want to install both Windows 11 and Linux.
On the contrary, I'd argue most people who would need this are just far better off moving to a single story residence.

I live with an 87 year old, and every dang thing except clear open floor is a big risk. We don't need contraptions, we just needed a first floor accessible bathroom.

Why would you put up those billboards? What's the intent? Is there an epidemic of burglars bleeding to death in the streets? Sure it makes a good analogy, but it has nothing to do with the reality we live in. We don't live in a hypothetical world, so it's appropriate to consider methods that are specific to the realities of the world we really do live in.
That's more than a little ageist. Age has little to do with it. I've worked for--and been managed by--thick-headed, egotistical 20-somethings and stodgy older folks alike.

Youth who think they're forging new territory usually aren't, but there are plenty who think they are and have an arrogance about it that is insufferable.
Why couldn't this title be "Nigeria's first e-currency is off to a shaky start". As it stands it implies Africa is still a "country" in 2021. Pretty sure if the context was, say Finland, the title would never be "Europe’s first e-currency is off to a shaky start"
It was a successful marketing stunt.
Just to concur:

The 9/11 attacks had already been mitigated the morning of 9/11 — when the last plane to go down was taken down when passengers who had heard of the previous attacks tried to regain control.

No, because it was started by Brezhnev. Gorbachev ended this war.

How come they are very often two experts with opposite opinion? Whoever is right can only be proven by time and mostly by realizing the wrong choice was made.
The paper is full-on nonsense. I’m surprised someone wasted their time writing it and you probably shouldn’t waste your time reading it.

In the part I read it claims we can’t develop AI because we can’t accurately model full reality. There’s no argument about what the connection there is, it’s just stated.

Kind of obviously, if we assume engaging with reality is necessary to develop intelligence, an artificial intelligence could do so in a similar way we non-artificial ones do, right?
> Engineers aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” when building bridges and buildings. Doctors aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” in the OR or when calculating dosages.

I do agree with the rest of the post but this is definitely NOT true. Your house probably has small issues here and there if you are willing to pay for an inspector. Doctors fucking up things is not news too, plus you never know if there is "one small fuckup" as long as you don't feel particularly bad afterwards.

The thing is I think you guys regard real world engineering too high. Small fuck ups happen all day.
> The value of an NFT is in having the right to insert yourself into that story, as the owner of that work, and with the ability to transfer that right to another person (i.e. selling the work).

This is a false statement. The NFT doesn’t make you the owner of ‘the work’. It makes you the owner of the NFT.

> The same way purchasing a painting gives you the right to resell that painting and prove to others that you are the owner, but does not necessarily convey copyright or other rights (unless worked out separately via a contract), purchasing an NFT gives you the right to resell that NFT and prove to others that you are the owner.

I.e, In the same way that if you own a paining, the painting is yours and not the copyright. If you own an NFT, only the NFT is yours and not the artwork.

> Just like a deed conveys ownership of a house at some address, the token conveys ownership of that media.

No it doesn’t.

If you own a house, there are many things you can do with the house that others are legally prohibited from doing.

If you own an NFT, you have no more rights over the media than someone who doesn’t own an NFT.

> Just like you can invite a neighbor over to visit your house, and a car driving by can take a photo of your house, anybody can view the media associated with your NFT.

This is obviously absurd.

If you own a house, it’s illegal for people to visit without being invited. If you own an NFT, an infinite number of people can I air the media without you even knowing, let alone inviting them.

Also, a person driving by your house with a car can’t legally park in your driveway or come in and sleep in your bed, whereas someone with a copy of the media can do anything the owner of the NFT can do, including invite others to look at it.
Well, they will also have to charge phones whilst in the air.

It's not a lot of mental gymnastics. We know some cancers are, in fact, caused by viruses. For example, human papillomavirus causes cervical cancer, so (iirc) women with fewer than 20 sexual partners are less likely to get cervical cancer because they are less likely to have contracted human papillomavirus.

But the lack of evidence is suspiciously large at this point.

Such evidence will not be found if we never look because we already assumed the conclusion and dismiss those thinking out loud as nutters engaging in a lot of mental gymnastics.

Drivetrain failures on modern cars are much less common, ICE or EV. Reliability nowadays is mostly about things like AC and all the tech on the cars. I’ve had friends lemon cars over rattling and squeak or radio cutting off randomly, that service wasn’t able to fix.

My car is reliable, as in, it drives, applies nowadays mostly to old beaters, that you buy only to drive and fix anything with a duct tape.
He actually interviews people who know what they are talking about and does the research. He has good contacts in the industry, better then most people. The video actually contains lots of information you can't find anywhere else. He spends a lot of time validating his videos himself with industry expert and then has a huge patreon community that goes threw everything and tries to find errors.

He is an educator he doesn't have to be able to design his own engine to make good educational videos.

And Scott Manley is also not an engineer and Scott Manley actually used Tims graphics in his own videos.

Right now he is working on a 1h 30min video on Russian engines that is more detailed then anything out-there and he spend 2 years researching it.
The article is about how in a real world test they charged faster than Teslas.

YouTube has a lot of amateur enthusiast videos of real world range tests and charging speeds and things for most electric vehicles. People drive different electric cars to meet at some random charging station and compare their efficiency and recharging.

(I should know, I attentively watched a bunch before testing and then ordering an EV6 last week :) )

They have done pretty much the opposite - they added a proper API of theming instead of having a stylesheet override. GTK didn't really have themes before, so this is quite nice.
In hot areas they do. AC reliability is a serious decision maker in vehicle buying decision in hot geographies.

Hmm.
The problem with the consciousness is that by default it is limited to ability perceive senses and bacteria clearly is beyound our limits of consciousness, but that does not make them less real. Our brains collect and process information subconsciously - the layer of our consciousness is not responsible for all the background work, that our brains are doing. There can't exist hypothesis in regards of gut processes affecting very thin layer of consciousness.

So, but can you disprove that gut bacteria can't impact brain processes? They can deliver signals to the brain, so what is exatly the obstacle that it makes it impossible task?
Perhaps disabled in the GUI, but you can still create a VMDK ‘disk’ file that is just a text file specifying the partition to use.

The simplest, non-breaky, reinstall-tolerant way of dual booting is to install operating system on different partitions and NOT install grub or anything to the root/EFI partition.

Install your bootloader to the SAME partition as you installed linux in. This is not the default in either windows or linux - and it will try to scare you into not doing it. But do it!

Now, use your laptop's built in bios feature - "press f12 while rebooting" to select the disk to boot into.
This will never fail. You can reinstall windows as many times as you like. You can burn your linux install and reinstall. They will never screw each other over and you will never be left unbootable.
What I'd like to be able to do is unify the tags between Firefox and my Emacs org-roam/org-mode data. I think it could be useful to be able to see a view of which bookmarks have the same tags as the document I'm viewing, and vice-versa. Plus a timeline of tags/bookmarks/documents/pages could further bring to light some relationships between information. For instance, "around the time I was writing lots of stuff about AWS IAM roles, I bookmarked these pages, read these sites, browsed these tags".

It's only a half-formed idea and unfortunately it'd require both lots of Emacs elisp work and an extension in Firefox.
I'm glad to see this response here, this distils it to it's basic utility exactly.

I'd only add that assessing risk, that is, assigning a numeric and subsequently monetary value to the likelihood that a prediction will not happen in the future, enables this to occur. Without being able to move risk around you cannot move money through time.
> If you're openly gay and your church hates gay people, you can stop going to church or go to a different one.

Yes, the difficulty of escaping a norm enforcing institution is an important desiderata. More important than size.

The social dynamics of cults are a (politically acceptable) counter-point. Leaving a small and insular community is rarely so trivial.

> If you're openly gay and the USSR hates gay people, you're probably gonna get murdered.

This conversation started with a discussion of large social media sites and you keep bringing up authoritarian governments to prove "big = bad".

Yes, escaping a nation-state is difficult. But if you're on a political extreme and don't like a social media site's speech rules, just don't use that social media site. And deleting a social media account is infinitely easier than abandoning the social group / town where you grew up.

So here we are again.

This game is becoming a bit silly, so let me unroll an infinitely long thread by providing a template for the next 5,000 replies:

you: "X1 is small and X1 is good but X2 is big and X2 is bad."

other commenters: "X3 is big and X3 is good but X4 is small and X4 is bad"

occasionally: "Nuh-uh X{$n} is not so bad"

me: "X5 is small and bad, X6 is big and good, X7 is small and good, X8 is big and bad. It's almost like there are features other than size that better unify toxic norm enforcing communities."
That hypothesis is probably true for most engineers, gay and straight.
What the hell are you saying? Is it "the existence of state censorship is a good countermeasure to online speech when applied at the platform level"? Because that would be sneaking some pretty authoritarian shit into your opinions. I want facebook to go away too but unilateral action on the part of states isn't going to do it (no matter how influential you might want China to be). Now, some kind of international coalition to support fact based information via sanctions (otherwise you trade one kind of propaganda to another) might help.. guessing big red not into that idea tho.
Agree that the obsession with Kissinger is quite funny. He's not even in the top 10 of my personal villains for US foreign policy, but he never led (or commanded someone else who led) an army and can't be guilty of any warcrimes.

He is a state department hack who has a talent for self-promotion as a "grand strategist" even though there is very little that he was responsible for setting in motion, and much of what he worked on was either irrelevant or ended up getting botched. He did, however, claim many foreign policy victories during a time period when U.S. foreign policy was particularly incoherent and schizophrenic, with America often being on both sides of a given conflict as the various organs of US foreign policy fought with each other and coordinated badly.

One can argue that the visit to China was legit his. Pretty much everything else is clearly P.R. and taking credit for the work of others in order to make a name for himself and pad his enormous consulting fees. IIRC, Kissinger and Associates - his private gig to cash in on his grand expertise - now focuses on doing lobbying for China.

They could mean that the EV6 is the first made-to-be-electric Kia?

Previous were ICE cars retrofitted to support hybrid and electric-only versions. The electric-only versions still have the transmission tunnel and other leftovers from their heritage.
I'd like to see if they were Americans from the start. That distinction differentiates people who've lived as an culturally integrated citizen from the start as opposed to someone who left their country of origin and became an American.

With stats like that you can't blatantly make the inference that "Americans Hindu's from birth on tend to get degrees." It could be the farthest thing from it. That is primarily why the distinction of Jews is relevant because they are culturally integrated from the start.

Society has agreed that a contract written in a certain form, with the requisite signatures and registrations, conveys ownership of land. Subject, of course, to caveats and rules and fine print about what "ownership" of the land really means. The government can sieze it, for example. It's called a deed.

Similarly, this community has agreed that a contract written in a certain form, with the requisite signatures and registrations, conveys ownership of a piece of art. Subject, again, to caveats and rules and fine print.

If at this point you are trying to argue semantics when most of the community has a pretty intuitive sense of what exactly "owning an NFT" means, it seems a bit pointless.
I believe that is the same battery manufacturing issue that caused GM to recall all Chevy Bolts over potential fire concerns. (only a tiny number of cars have actually caught fire). This was finally traced down to problems with a specific manufacturing problem in batteries supplied by LG who supplied those batteries to GM and Kia and another manufacturer.
I am not the author but in this case the form of the language supports the differentiated function that might make it useful to someone versus some other class of language. Sophisticated concatenative language designs can naturally express certain things that are pretty difficult and awkward to express in more conventional programming language idioms. An example, and the implementation problem that introduced me to concatenative languages, is software that does automated program induction. The downside is that these languages are difficult to optimize for conventional silicon -- you would not want to use them to build software they are not uniquely good at.

While you could build layers that express a more conventional set of language idioms, most of the value in using this language as opposed to some other will be in exploiting the unconventional expressiveness of the mechanics.
How to Value Art: Why Bill Gates' Leonardo Da Vinci Manuscript Is Worth $130M
This is a good achievement by Kia. However I'm surprised that no one is pointing out that the Tesla record is from 2015 in a Model S 85D[1]. The Model S 85D had an EPA estimated range of 265 miles and the maximum charging rate was 125 kw. It would be far more interesting if this was done again with a 2021 Model Y which has a range of 330 miles and can charge at up to 250 kw, and is physically closer to the Kia EV6 in size.

Success: Suck Less (2009)
The difference is that it can't be done in secret. And it's possible that the highest level of government would like to fix the problem, but has trouble with corruption at lower levels. Making corrupt transfers obvious would make them much easier to clean up.

In other words, you might as well ask "what difference do notarized documents make?" Anything we can do to establish reliable documentation helps the enforcers of property rights do their job. Blockchains provide reliable records even when you can't trust a critical mass of low-level human record keepers.

I think this absolutely should be illegal. Not the loan itself, but calling it interest-free should be.
> Pilots aren’t allowed small fuckups when flying planes.

Pilots are allowed small fuckups all the time when flying planes. I've got around 1500 hours and haven't had a perfect flight yet. When I stop flying, I expect to have 3000 hours and still to not have had a perfect flight.

Aviation is designed around having redundancies, tolerances, and contingencies for these small fuckups.
I agree that it is nonsense. To save people the click, here, for example, is how the paper argues that a software system couldn't gain intelligence by simulating an evolutionary process:

"But we neither know how to engineer the drive that is built into all animate complex systems, nor do we know how to mimic evolutionary pressure, which we do not understand and cannot model (outside highly artificial conditions such as a Petri dish). In fact, if we already knew how to emulate evolution, we would in any case not need to do this in order to create intelligent life, because the complexity level of intelligent life is lower than that of evolution."

They don't care about reputation. Nearly every Windows user hates Windows, everyone knows that Windows it's a bad operating system, still it is the operating system that everyone uses for the fact that comes installed on every computer that you purchase and most people doesn't even know than an alternative exists.
Looks like it's only available in the UK and mostly commercial. But at least it means it's possible!
I'd say volume. These are highly specialized devices which require a lot of careful development. The volume might be a few thousand a year if even. So seeing super high speed/precision ADC's costing 1000+USD isn't so surprising.

The most obvious counter-argument is that the amount of things we can do with AI keeps expanding. People were incredulous that computer chess programs could beat humans in the 1980s. Now they can beat us at basically any board game including Go, do image classification, and we have some early prototypes of self-driving cars.

AI hasn't mastered common-sense reasoning yet. That's likely going to come last, but the amount of things AI can understand is set to only expand IMO.
I agree that at first a lockdown was arguably a somewhat half-reasonable option when the dangerousness of covid was unknown but since then it have been very clear that it's impacting only a very small segment of the population (very old people and those in overweight), yet it has been handled as if everyone were at risk.

At this point covid is a manufactured crisis used by governments as a power grab over citizens freedom, and pharmaceutical groups to get magic money. This has to stop. The lives of young people, who need to study, socialize, meet a partner, start a career are heavily negatively impacted by all those measures taken to save a few retired people that already did all those things. This is profoundly injust. Scared of covid? Then fine, do a personal lockdown but don't ask for the whole society and human interactions to stop for this. People would barely notice it's existence (like in Africa) if the media weren't speaking about it.
When you are early 50's and you have MS, I don't think the same scenario applies. This isn't a solution for people who can't do most things, it's a solution for people who can almost do everything but have been disabled in some way.

It used to be that the only solution would be a powered elevator system, but that was only because we had no alternative.
