Are you kidding me about AlphaFold 2? That was the solution to a 50-year mystery in science and there's going to be a Nobel prize in it somewhere.

That would be like finding a grand unified theory in physics. No big deal there amIRight?

But your skepticism is great. More opportunities for those of us who actually get what it achieved and are looking to extend it to more practical domains beyond protein structure prediction (which is already huge). And kudos to Deepmind for open sourcing it even though they did their usual trick with the training data and recipe and left it to you to implement.

Deepfakery is going to be great when I can do things like make a new season of classic Star Trek with a bunch of amateur voice talent and it looks like the original show. Maybe even use some of the season 4 pitches that were never made. I never got why none of the original silicon valley billionaires didn't pay whatever it took to make this happen while the original cast was still alive. But now you no longer need to be a billionaire...

Seems to me that it is just relabeling something that is commonplace (eating crustaceans), and that most will not allow their moral prohibition for something so repugnant (human cannibalism) to erode.

Because when we heard about this it was about 2am and we wanted to get it going ASAP to see what was actually in there. It did not actually take a month, since this all happened two days ago. I think if we decided to become a torrent downloading company (is that a thing?) we'd go about it a different way. Anyway total actual cost (wasted, in this case) was a few hundred bucks.
G'day! A year or so ago I was playing around with building an online Introduction to Python course, but I got distracted by this problem that seemed like it should be solved: how can I embed runnable snippets on the web?

There’s a bunch of closed-source solutions that rely on other services. I was hoping for a way to just install a package, and then run code. Especially small snippets like print, input and if statements.

So I started building Runno. It lets you embed snippets of code from a few different languages (Python, JavaScript, C, C++ and SQL currently) within your website and runs it all client side using Web Assembly. You can use it without any packages using an iframe, or install the npm package and use it as a Web Component.

Happy to answer any questions you have about it!
Try an induction cooker next, faster than the speed of fire (youtube it!). You can throw stuff like beef or chicken in a sous vide (instant pot might have a sous vide mode) at the beginning of the day, then just finish any you want to eat with the induction cooker and cast iron with some fresh veggies.

If your taste is off, you will want to cook for a shorter time, the pressure cookers fuck up flavors and textures sometimes.
> Therefore, it's well within the realm of plausibility that the actual behavior of the universe is governed by uncomputable functions, and we are forever stuck modeling those behaviors with computable approximations.

Even if the set of uncomputable functions outnumbers the set of of computable functions, I still don't see how your conclusion follows. The rules that govern a coherent universe are not randomly sampled from the set of all functions.
As well as the $4 fee mentioned, Zip and co also charge the merchant - in my country, 30 cents per transaction and 4-6% commission. Late payment interest is probably just gravy.

With schemes like these, all customers ultimately end up paying for this regardless if you use the service or not as merchants will have to add the costs to their prices.
If you click an "https://" link, you don't know whether or not it'll work in your minimal browser. If you click on a "gemini://" link, you know it'll work in your Gemini client.

Gemtext is easy to parse since a parser only has to read the first characters of a line to know a line's semantic meaning. Being line-oriented also improves a document's structure, as it's easy to navigate with links getting their own line.

That's the rationale for using a different protocol scheme and markup.
What post-processing do you do already to catch the low hanging fruit? Izotope? I reckon putting in 100 hours of editing and not being able to get an hour down to sub an hour means there is something which could be optimised out quite quickly.

All I can think here is : so you have individual heat billing in an apartment building? IOW separate electric or gas heaters in each apartment?

I’m used to central heating, basically a water-circulating radiator setup, where the overall water temperature is set by the condo management and thermostats regulate the temperatures in each apartment, within the limits of the total heat provided. No way to monitor what people have their thermostats set to.

And, of course, district heating is a big thing. What I’m trying to say here is, it sounds like there are bigger problems with the heating in your apartment building than whether or not you’re stealing heat from your neighbours.

Not a car, but my main gigging keyboard for as long as I've been gigging has been the Korg SV-1, and a big part of the reason is that there's no screens, only knobs. It's a pretty great interface, all in all. 90% of the time I use the presets I made for myself the first week I got it, but whenever I need something else I have no trouble doing it within seconds.

It's fairly limited, in terms of features and sound bank, but it's amazing at what it does.

> Windows installers are still hostile to other OSes (I think)

This only happens in two specific cases: 1. MBR + same physical disk for both OSes; 2. Bad UEFI implementation on the mobo + same physical disk for both OSes.

Otherwise it should work flawlessly because their bootloaders are independent and it's only a matter of setting the desired boot order.
Using a term like concept instead of "linguistic" to denote a mental representation (which could be "auditory", "visual", "kinesthetic", "feeling", etc). Then you are absolutely correct.

@corradio - would be interesting to chat with you about your ideas/goals.

I don't work in climate tech but adjacent to it: property insurance. We spend a lot of time thinking about ways to mitigate losses from a variety of natural catastrophes. Some of the increased frequency/severity is increasingly thought to be from climate change. I won't go into that here.

There are a lot of contradictions. Insurers are paid to take risks but increasingly move away from those risks. But the actual events - wildfires, floods, etc. - affect people and businesses every year. Coastal property is at risk from sea-level rise, and sunny-day flooding is common in Miami and other places.

So, I wonder if what you might focus on instead is tech that helps fill some of those gaps. Offer products that help folks buy protection for things that an insurer might not cover unless you give them a lot of cash. Do it more cheaply with tech, if possible. Private flood already exists, but I still think there's a lot of opportunity and runway for other folks in that market. Floods and the other perils are increasingly climate-related problems that people can touch and feel. They cause damage. They upend lives and businesses.

Other folks are tackling wildfire insurance, tornado insurance, and etc.

Steam has already disallowed "Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs." from their platform. They have a very successful item marketplace which they get a cut of and aren't interested in blockchain systems competing. Epic has said they will allow it, presumably to differentiate themselves and because they don't have such a system.

But intellectual property isn’t a thing then.
The Nintendo Switch.

For all the reasons you mention. I have a career, I have a family, and I have side projects. I just don’t have time to dedicate to games. But sometimes you just need to blow off steam for 15 minutes before bed and the Switch is perfect for this.

Every game can be paused/stopped by hitting one button. The controls are great, software is great, and I’ve been using the the dock to play games together with family like Mario Kart. I have a bunch of maxed out characters in Diablo 3 just by playing 15 minutes here and there. :)
While this is a joke, there are some contexts in which it does make sense to ask whether the computer is on. For instance, most laptops have an embedded controller which runs all the time, even when the laptop is powered off, and manages things like battery charging and the power state. Within that embedded controller, an is_computer_on() function could legitimately return "false".
I think you need to reframe your pitch. Your messaging is heavily focused on "not being just another app with points and badges." Yet, the primary mechanism of your app is receiving coins (points) to buy plants (badges), which all gets put on a rated monthly calendar (points) representative of your mood (badge). And then in your roadmap you even mention wanting a leaderboard (points and badges).

Your entire concept is points and badges, so trying to make it sound like something completely different comes across as disingenuous and somewhat antithetical to the actual purpose of the app. You're probably not going to attract users with that strategy.

More importantly, I think you're missing a huge part of the marketing picture. You're banking on paying for influencer placement and random TikTok luck, and then saying you'll make your own content "sometime down the road" and "when you can afford to." But if you can afford to pay influencers, you can definitely afford to make content, at which point you'd be making additional revenue while also promoting your app to a captive and targeted audience.

And since you need to at least be producing a minimal amount of social media content as standard business practice, it's not exactly a huge leap to be producing longer form content. In fact, it would make far more sense to focus on producing videos that serve as their own content and marketing, but can also be cut up into social media posts.

The most obvious example would be to start your own ASMR YouTube or Twitch channel based around the garden concept. Perhaps even integrating it, so that watching the ASMR videos will grow your garden. The material startup cost for a market-competitive ASMR channel is roughly $1,750 worth of equipment, and that includes a capable computer, monitor, camera, video capture device, lighting, audio interface, mics and all of the necessary cables. For the same amount of money you spend on influencer placements, you could pay two people to produce and edit videos, and at that point you are simultaneously creating highly reusable content, generating additional revenue, marketing and legitimizing your brand, and creating a dedicated community around your product -- all while avoiding paying some influencer to get 1/100 the results.

That's just one of countless methods that don't involve sinking your entire budget and available time into hoping something goes viral on TikTok. Content is king. If you're not the one creating it, you're paying a heavy price to the people who are.

It's Soviet, so <= 1991 (and there are references to 1991 and post-1991 updates). There's a link at the top of the article to a similar article about this chip's predecessor, "developed in 1982". It appears they implement the PDP-11 instruction set. The western-designed contemporaries of the chip in the article would roughly be Intel 80386/80486 and Motorola 68030/68040. Some of the details (e.g., clock speed, address space, transistor count, package, etc.) look closer to 8088 and 68000. So it appears to be 2-3 generations behind Intel and Motorola.
> you think MMT is great and will have no consequences

Doesn't MMT just tell us that we should focus on inflation instead of The Deficit?

I don't think any of its adherents believe that printing money is consequence-free; rather, MMT states that over-printing money will eventually result in inflation, and we can choose to respond to that inflation by either reigning in government spending (which enables us to dial back the money printing), or by raising taxes (thereby decreasing the money supply).

Its prescriptions are largely the same as the current mode of economic thought. If you spend too much, you'll have to pay for it somehow. Arguably, it just offers a better model of the trade-offs between taxation/spending/printing/inflation, and suggests a different feedback mechanism to drive policymaking decisions (inflation instead of deficit levels.)
I've done various forensic-oriented gigs for court cases. I was always given an titles like "Technical Expert" and sometimes really specific "Expert" terminology.

In one case I was brought in only to give a high level synopsis about how deleted files can often be carved out either in full or in part, may appear in multiple places at once, sometimes clearly showing edits, and also come with useful metadata stored within the directory entries both past and present.

They referred to me as the "Computer Filesystem Expert" which I thought was a bit strange, because I'm not what I'd consider an expert in file systems. Hell, I only barely know how journaling works without breaking down. I just know a lot about a very specific set of details that are useful in a forensic investigation.

So there is yet another use of the word "expert" that doesn't necessarily mean the same thing to everyone. It's not a useless title in this case, but it's really ambiguous to a person who understands more than the role requires.
AGI is currently as likely as teleportation, time travel or warp drives. You can write a computer program to do just about anything. Artificial "General" intelligence is simply not a thing. We're not even making progress toward it.
(This is a bit of a shameless plug, but hopefully it'll be interesting to the general discussion about gopher-like protocols and graphical browsers)

It doesn't support Gemini (just yet) but here's my take at a modern, fully-featured graphical Gopher client: https://github.com/zenoamaro/unnamed-gopher-client

I tend to spend hours browsing Gopherholes and Phlogs, but I tend to lose track of where I am. So I implemented a navigation system that I have yet to see in any other Gopher client (or web, for that matter):

- Drill-down Columnar Navigation.

It is heavily inspired by Finder's own column navigation, so if you like that, you'll be at home.

In addition, it has other features that every modern browser should have:

- A tabbed interface

- An omnibar with search capabilities (Using Veronica-2)

- Files and folders view

- Inline image previews with zooming

- Caching

I have many more ideas to contribute back to the Gopher ecosystem without losing its essence (see the roadmap), so if you want to contribute, send ideas, share your opinions, or just show support, please let me know! I hope you like it!
Way back in the 80s, Amiga vs. Atari ST was one of the early fanboi battles in computing :-)

Except, at first, it was mostly in person and in competing computer magazines. And eventually, many of us got our first modems, and got into our first online arguments on dial-up BBSs.

It is in that spirit, that I offer this link to a browser based Atari ST emulator ;-)

Refactor this series of evolutionary hacks:

1) Bug: Warm-bloodedness means that testicles now don't work as well. Reasonable patch: make them more resistant to body heat (this worked for ovaries, apparently). Actual hack patch: hang them on the outside of the body so they can stay cooler, and also add a complicated mechanism to make them get closer or further away as the temperature changes.

2) New bug introduced by 1): Testicles on outside of body are now extremely vulnerable to damage. Reasonable patch: enclose them in some kind of hard cartilage or bone shell. Actual hack patch: make them hurt really bad if they get hit, so their owner takes extreme caution to protect them.
I think that's the point. With broad accessibility comes catering to the lowest common denominator - ask anyone who was online a couple decades ago about the eternal September.

One no-brainer thing that I wish Gemini would add is proper footnote support. The reading experience is kind of a pain in the ass if you can't quickly get back to where the note was introduced.
> Efficiency and cost savings that just happen to reduce emissions? That's where the focus should be.

Isn't that where the focus has already been for decades? Which has pretty definitely proven itself insufficient for curbing emissions at anywhere near the scales that we need?
A binary double can hold any decimal value to 15 digits of precision, so as a serialisation format it's a bit of a non-issue... you just need to convert to decimal and round appropriately before doing any arithmetic where it matters.

And you're confusing JSON the format with typical implementations. Open a JSON file and you see decimal digits. There is no limit to the number of the digits in the grammar. Parsing these digits and converting them to binary doubles, for example, is actually slower than parsing them as decimals, because you have to do the latter anyway to accomplish the former. Almost all JSON libraries convert to binary (e.g. doubles) because of their ubiquitous hardware and software support...but some libraries like RapidJSON expose raw numeric strings out of the parser if you want to plug in a decimal library

Not that the other replies are wrong, but it's quite predictable from an evolutionary perspective that the physiology adapts for a range of different environments. Many animals can withstand a large range of temperature, so why not a range of pressure too, as long as it can benefit the animal?

To me, it's more fascinating that land animals like humans can survive at all at ~50x the highest pressure on land. Another fascinating remnant of our oceanic ancestry is the mammalian diving reflex[1].

I urge everyone not to ignore to ignore or dismiss this viewpoint as I do not believe it is an outlier. Without going into the issues associated with 'cheaper' solutions ( that might easily end up not being so cheap once you check the fine print; return restrictions and so on ), privacy implications of MS monitoring your shopping patterns and veiled advertising resulting from MS selling user space to highest bidder, we need to be able to address those and indicate to regular users that there is a real potential for harm that could result from this ( and they will have no recourse when that harm happens ).

Here's some data: 0.416411230181442

What's that worth? Data by itself is inherently worthless. It's only worth something if it represents something we care about. This could be something fictional (e.x. a video game world), or real (a warehouse inventory), but on it's own? Worthless.

You say an NFT is a cryptocurrency with a single individual token and... what? It's a piece of data, but what can I do with it or what can I get out of it? I can send it to someone else? Cool, what can they do with it? What benefit is there? That's the big question I've at least yet to seen answered satisfactorily.

I get there's a market for this currently, but once upon a time there was a market for pet rocks (which unlike NFTs can at least be pleasing to look at). Markets can be irrational, and the fact that there is a market price for something does not inherently mean that something has value.

You’re making the contradictory claims that human intelligence is incomputable and AI is limited something computable (all by a certain definition of computable).

You need to at least try to propose something that explains the premise and the contradiction.

Does human intelligence arise out of processes within the human brain? If not, then how else? If yes, then why are those processes somehow out of reach of human science to investigate and manipulate?

How can intentional human actions be limited to a certain definition of computability while human intelligence is not?
