Oh sure, rail is great... but you can't exclude the amount of energy that goes into things like laying tracks, paving roads, and maintaining engines. Plus most of them still use human operators.

Even considering land animals, look at African Elephants. They can walk for days without water and weigh ~6,000 - 10,000lbs. Considerably slower than a truck with a similar weight, but still likely several times more efficient traveling over unpaved dirt.

We optimize for different things, and can be more efficient under very specific circumstances (consider Voyager, for example :P). But when it comes to packing efficiency into a small package we don't hold a candle to nature.

We'll get there eventually, and much faster than evolution did, but our technology is still in its infancy. Consider brains! What you get out of even a tiny mouse brain is bonkers when you consider what little fuel it needs.
You can get fairly cheap, by Western standard (under 200/250$) brand new phones with great screen, good camera, not many/no annoying apps that affect the daily usage [1], fairly cheap contract (around $5 a month)[2]. It does require some Googling/timing but possible.

While $200 is a lot of money for many people, there are options where you can go even lower and get a decent phone if you sacrifice some functionality (like not having a good camera)

[1] Poco X3 for example, during sale goes well under 250$. Note: it does have privacy concerns associated with it.

The problem is that the microsoft-edge:// protocol is used throughout the Windows UI and menus and will always open in Edge regardless of the user's preferences. If you click on a link in say, the Settings UI, it will ignore your default browser preference and open in Edge with no way to change it.
I think it's more apt to consider mobility in absolute terms in this context as opposed to relative. Having a country with super high mobility but extremely low GDP is obviously not favorable.
I am hoping that machine will finally be the new slave so humans can really be free! Maybe western countries population problem won't be a real issue before developing countries can be wealthy.
Discussing becoming a product manager and his experiences with one
In general, one shouldn't "invest" in things one doesn't understand very well.
I think that’s unfair.

They may be in search of outsized returns, but I think people can absolutely be victims of the ‘have fun staying poor’ meme. The implication is that if you don’t buy into crypto your assets will be decimated by inflation. I think it’s reasonable to consider that it’s not ‘greed’ but rather fear of being left behind that is driving many victims.
Anecdotally, I've seen the strawman become real. Usually it's not more than two different languages. But at my current job, we've got a split between Typescript, vanilla Node.js, and Scala on the backend. All the results of various migrations and refactors spearheaded by different people at different times but not completed. The current vision is to have a unified Scala backend someday, but I'm not holding my breath.
Reference? (What are you talking about?)
I think a substantial number of powermods are either paid by some influence agency, or they do it for free because they're activists who believe they're fighting for a righteous cause.

Not sure if this counts but I worked at a small casino and the servers managing the floor could barely function. The payment system was a mess too not just due to technical issues but also from "territorial" issues.

The servers were IBM eServers servers old and out of date when they were purchased the warranty was extended multiple times. A Debain cluster for slot machine control, and a database server was also the domain controller using Win 2000 cluster.

The clusters always failed and auto-failover failed. So me not officially IT would have to manually failover the cluster or the casino couldn't operate. There was also another Java app called process initialization which also failed and I had to restart that too manually.

I was also the only person the building/province/400km region who knew the admin passwords for the systems I still recall them.

Add to that the debit machines would lose connection and the debit machines at lunchtime for a 200 person buffet were offline. Often a reboot of the DSL mocdem or most often it was a trip to the third floor ventilation room/cross connect. The five port switch had six cables and people would pull one and put in their cable for their system. That's territorial part my department is more important than yours so cabled yanked out no warning.

As a system it was terrible and a multi million dollar business relied on it and relied on me as a non-IT person to maintain it. It wasn't anywhere near my job description and I got nothing extra for it but management demanded I fix it. They ended up laying me off suddenly one day tow hours into my shift after 13 years no explanation.
>If anything you should feel shame for your lack of self awareness here

This is no place for these kinds of statements. Parent posed a question that can 100% be read charitably. In a system where all incentives promote individualism and self-interest, why should we care about others indeed.

To care about others is socialism. Or collectivism. Identity politics is probably part of the issue here, but I'm more interested in what other smarter people than me have to say, free from being shamed.
There seems to be no text information on website about this dion or what their format it, just a lot of common words about reinventing the ecosystem. All the info seems to be in two hour-long videos.
I stopped trusting the media's reporting on covid when it became blatantly obvious that they were completely ignoring and obfuscating the risk stratification by age. It was clear to me that they were motivated to do this by elevating the desire to influence the behavior of the public over the duty to inform them with the actual facts.

They cynically assumed, just like the public health authorities did, that if the average Joe didn't personally feel at risk, they wouldn't change their behavior and would cause high-risk/elderly people to die out of negligence. Academics, I've noticed in my career working with them, are far more prone to view the public in this way. I'm sure a few of that variety will respond to this and tell me that yes, they can't be trusted.
I really doubt Americans in general dislike the Russian people. If Americans have an issue with Russia it’s with the government at large or specifically Putin and the oligarchs.
Machines don't learn. Living things learn. Machines don't understand. Living things understand. Machines 'do' algorithms. Living things 'do' use-cases.

Algorithm Definition:

A sequence of actions that yields a result.

Use-case Definition:

A sequence of actions that yields a result of value to a user.

The difference between the two is 'of value to a user'. To me, the line between algorithm and use-case is the line between unconsciousness and consciousness. That line pivots around the ability to 'value' something. I doubt we will ever see the I in AI until we build something that can value a result in the same way that you and I do.

We need new words to describe what machines do. Using 'learn' or 'understand' seems like anthropomorphism. It's weird that we glibly anthropomorphise when talking about machines but prohibit it when talking about living things. Almost all of our qualities have been inherited from other living things. It seems to me that we should always anthropomorphise when talking about living things and never anthropomorphise when talking about machines. And yet, we always seem to do the opposite.

Until we can explain how a machine can 'value' something in the same sense that humans do (or chimps or ducks or caterpillars do), we should avoid anthropomorphic words like 'learn' and 'understand' as it misdirects our efforts. However, I have no idea what else to suggest other than to try to explain how a machine can 'value' something.

> IBM’s Watson was found to propose “multiple examples of unsafe and incorrect treatment recommendations.”

That won't stop until Watson has the ability to 'value' the result of what it is doing. Watson 'does' algorithms. Watson needs to 'do' use-cases. Once it can 'value' a result in the same way we do, it will correct its mistakes.
Or, me. Never turn the radio on at all. Driven manual all my life. Prefer it.

Not surprising considering the founders include Elon Musk and Sam Altman
They are only victims of their own greed and ignorance. It's like ending up in the hospital because you chose not to get vaccinated against COVID: People have been trying to warn you for years, but you wouldn't listen, and now you are paying the price.
The FX-115ESPLS2 is really good as well, I think it's pretty much the same as the one you mentioned but more available in the United States.

Given that the crimes in SF have spiked during Covid, a flat police budget is de facto defunding [7]. To keep up with the crimes, police budget should increase proportionally as well. Otherwise, crimes will not be controlled.

Parent didn't "say" that at all. It was a question, not a statement, which explains why the question mark was used: "how is it going to affect me?" At the end, the user gives us the courtesy of reporting what behavior they observed, which is all too often lacking.
Banks and funds have compliance departments which track which companies are clients/positions. You _might_ create a similar apparatus for Congress, but tracking which companies are subject to a particular law would be complicated and error-prone.

Better to limit them to general positions like ETFs and mutual funds, as others have suggested.
What does "minted" but not circulating Tether even look like?
These rug-pull scams rely on the developers having tons of tokens to sell to investors, which is mostly confined to use of Proof of Stake.

So your environmental criticism of Proof of Work is not applicable here.
A PoW coin with no premine doesn't allow for a rug pull.
It’s a way for some people to generate USD without being the fed. It’s a way for some suckers to feel good about FOMO after watching a YT short about how they’re gonna be poor.
If America can change the entire fertility of a country merely by the president getting frustrated, imagine what we could do when the entire legislature is upset!

Or the one comment is just used to defray blame, America does not have cosmic superpowers and India is in fact capable of making their own national decisions, seeing that they are a state.

Sanger like most historical characters is imperfect (so was LBJ) but it is a gross simplification of history to pitch them as the root cause.
I'm curious about Gensim Doc2Vec Model. I used it 3 years ago and got decent results in vectorizing articles and then finding articles that were similar based on input text (half-written article for example).

What is new here?

One of my customer is a world famous cultural institution. Around 2007 IIRC, they asked me if I could devise a way to backup their payroll system, because I was their go-to Unix/Linux expert and "it runs on some Unix thing".

So I went with the CIO to the HR office to check the "thing". The setup was as follows: between the two office windows, there was a small table with on it, a Sun SS20 workstation of 1993 vintage, connected to a bunch of 1 or 2 GB SCSI drives, all covered with a 5 cm, hairy blanket of dust. A tangled nest of serial cables (yep, the RS232 style) were going from a serial expansion MBUS card to all of the HR people's PCs in the room (through USB adapters). They were connecting to the thing using good old HyperTerminal...

The machine also had a modem that was used, eons ago, when it was under some form of support from the supplier of the solution, to monitor the setup. Of course nobody had done any update nor any system maintenance since 1998, so it was still running Solaris 2.x.

Of course I didn't have the root password. The thing was running a database (Informix or Oracle, not sure) that I planned to backup to a Linux server through NFS (keep it simple). So I basically had to write a shell script using a syntax compatible with this antique kit to run through cron... Fortunately they had a spare SS20 that I used for this purpose!

The pay of several hundred people (maybe a thousand) was relying upon this system... several million € of pay checks every month!
Thank you. This all seems very simple to me: So-called AI is mostly not different from books, movies, videogames etc. No, they don't "think" and they are not "intelligent."

But that in no way precludes that it an instance of it being mind-blowing and world-changing. Books, etc. do that, too.
I think Matlab is starting to realize this, at least at the institutional level they are starting to offer all the toolboxes for a fixed price (much much lower than buying all the boxes individually)
We've been identifying and reporting on a ton of crypto fraud. Any popular site that uses a "wallet connection" is ideal for scamming, and unfortunately, these scams are widely successful. The scam asks users to enter their wallet secrets to connect their wallets. The general crypto community consensus is that if you fall for these scams, you deserve it. There are a lot of newcomers to crypto, and unfortunately, many people are falling for these scams. These phishing sites are combined with other avenues that make the scam more successful.

Right now, there's an active google ads phishing campaign targeting the "Biswap" crypto exchange, so if you google "Biswap," there's a good chance you'll see fake Google ads. If the very first thing you see on Google is what you're looking for, and it leads you to a site that looks just like the site you expect to be on - why would you think twice?

We've also seen cases where scammers create fake support accounts to impersonate legitimate organizations, such as Opensea, and use Twitter to trick victims onto counterfeit sites. The sites may seem obvious on their own, but when you combine these additional steps scammers take, it's clear to see why the scammers are having so much success.

Here's our Twitter feed where we post some of what we find on our day-to-day. https://twitter.com/GuardYourDomain
The "police" already email and call me about my overdue IRS bill and my imminent arrest. I ignore all that crap.

Splitting CSV file into chunks and process them independently won't necessarily be wrong (although there are implementations out there that I won't name would, because they do guess). The trick however requires to scan twice: https://liuliu.me/eyes/loading-csv-file-at-the-speed-limit-o...

Nice article otherwise!
> let's keep making weird incentives for law enforcement like asset forfeiture

I hate civil forfeiture. That’s why I specifically suggested the proceeds flow to the Treasury. Not the law enforcer’s budget.

There is also a world of difference between taking something you legally possess, and taking a cut of things returned to you at the expense of the public purse.
But who set this standard of morality? Society, right? What I’m saying is this shame imposed from society worked before. But as I look around, I don’t see that the prevailing moral standard is that we must all work for the betterment of society. Society doesn’t even feel this is a worthy thing. I don’t agree that there is a moral imperative in American society to work for the betterment of everyone.
I've always strongly disagreed with this particular threat model of AI safety. To me, the biggest threat of AI isn't autogenerated spammy fake news or social media posts (how much cheaper is it really than just hiring a 5-cent army to do that? Aren't there diminishing returns for doing this too much? Since this is basically inevitable isn't it a better idea to teach people not to believe stuff they read from unreliable strangers on the internet?).

Rather the biggest threat is centralization, where a single corporation (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, a single government agency) controls the AI, censors/limits it in places that are inconvenient to it and its profits, snoops on all communications with no regard for privacy, etc. OpenAI already does this, and they're quite clear and open about it.

And what I'm REALLY concerned about is AI companies like OpenAI building a cutting-edge AI, then lobbying governments to prevent anybody else from building one freely for the sake of "safety". AI safety researchers hired by AI companies have a clear conflict of interest here. I think that the ONLY way to make sure AI is safe is if it has 100% transparency, i.e. open source and freely available models that anybody can run and test themselves.

People are different. Some of us do need work, some probably don't.
Two decades, sure, but two centuries? If sea level is about to rise 1 or 2 or 3 meters, things will surely change more than what we see now. I live in the Netherlands, I am not worried about myself. But the world for our children might look different in this regard than ours. And we should not fall into the trap that it only exists when it touches us, then it will be way too late.
Sounds like a bunch of unsubstantiated claims? So if something does learn, then its a living thing? My AI can learn (see a pattern and repeat it); now its a living thing? Not sure what to do with that.
Hell, /r/chapotraphouse was banned for allowing members to call for the death of 19th century slave owners. Sitewide rule enforcement on R*ddit is pretty arbitrary and at the convenience of the admins.

>I wouldn't call it alpha testing. The autosteer in Tesla cars of today works at least as well as the stable releases that I've seen from other manufacturers.

If others do the same shit I would say is still alpha testing, we seen recently and discussed in this and similar threads https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28566376 the car acts like a buggy piece of code, like a glitched game. You should not test your alpha code by risking innocents life , The minimum , absolute minimum, Tesla should do is to use their AI to make sure no idiot alpha tester is watching movies, texting, putting makeup or sleeping when they should pay full attention, but they are not doing that but the opposite , Tesla and Elon imply that you have to pay attention because of evil regulation.
I predict that commercial profit will dry up as ML ends consumer media creation, re-shoring via high tech manufacturing implodes shipping and retail as on demand production rises to combat the environmental destruction of factories on 24/7.

20-30 year olds now will begin to call the shots politically in 10+, pushing GenX aside where they belong. GenX as a group is pre-info economy and sycophants to inheritance and will have few answers.

20-30 something’s see no future for themselves in this system, and are currently normalizing their platform via the internet.

As it spends its time now making itself irrelevant to the kids, progress elsewhere will give them alternatives and once in power, having spent their lives discussing each other’s inherent value collectively all their lives, they’ll finally just change the fucking rules and police the violent as usual.

That's not normal, because the test is now not testing the code in its eventual context (which is : the transaction commits). In my experience unfortunately this is a very common pattern (tests are far removed from "reality").
It seems to me that the ratio of hate-for-microservices/companies-actually-using-microservices is way out of wack.
