General ai would be a unique mind. Simulation doesn't require engineers to understand the process, just that the process works. I can copy a mechanism without scientifically understanding what that mechanism is doing. I can follow a recipe or instructable or copy grandma's brain and have little to no understanding of what's really happening.

Then again, if you can copy a genius researcher and put a million of the minds to work on solving agi methodically, you don't need precision and understanding to start with. You just hope the million mind genius collective doesn't lie or mislead.
I think getting a PCR test would be pretty good, since with catching it. You have an "additional protection" lasting several months.

Since the booster stays effective ~10 weeks, it could be possible that you don't need to get an additional booster between March-June. ( depends on a lot of variables ofc. I'm currently vaccinated and not boostered and not immediately planning on taking a booster based on the previous variant for a "relatively" harmless virus for vaccinated people)
See my other comment. Gmail was bad example, outlook has no restrictions.
That's called save face.

Like US pretend that there is Uyghur genocide, but literally does nothing to prevent it. Because they know that there is no genocide.

Same here, China knows Taiwan is independent, but as long as everyone does not say so, China is perfectly OK to play along.
My point is that once you've managed to quit, what you need to do is simple: not have any. Doesn't mean it's easy, as there are still compulsions. But with food you can't do that—you still need to eat.
Yep, I won't sacrifice my privacy and main email address from spam just to sign up somewhere that doesn't align with my values.
The site this links to, 8bitnews.io, is a wonderful resource to a lot of retro news and projects and they have a mailing list that does not suck.

Spam fighting existed long before a 2003 US law. RBLs came into being in 1997, Spamhaus in 1998. You'll note precisely none of these organizations (in any country) blacklisting Amazon, or any other company, because they send marketing emails to their existing customers.
It would be General Intelligence but it's probably not Artificial General Intelligence in so much as the intelligence aspect wasn't designed and created. It also wouldn't be able to get smarter at the rate of singularity since its intelligence comes from using humans as raw material.
It's simply a matter of scaling this slice-scan-render technique up to the entirety of a human brain to simulate human thinking, correct? What're the biggest technological hurdles left?
Why would one get sick by eating snakes or lizard?
Possibly. But I do know personally that fusion power has been "twenty years away" for at least sixty years.

There’s a MacGuyver reference in the first episode.
Dutch book arguments are at least intended to provide a sufficient condition and are tied to interpretations of ideal human behavior, although they also make fairly strong assumptions about human rationality. The axiomatizations do not have accompanying uniqueness theorems. The situation is parallel in logic. Every good logic is axiomatized and has a proof theory, thus you cannot take the existence of a consistent axiom system as an argument for the claim that this is the one and only right logic (e.g. to resolve a dispute between an intuitionist and a classical logician).

The point about uncertainty was really just concerning the philosophical thesis that graded rational belief is based on a probability measure. A simple probability measure is not good enough as a general epistemic representation because it cannot represent lack of belief - you always have P(-A)=1-P(A). But of course there are many ways of using probabilities to represent lack of knowledge, plausibility theory and Dempster-Shafer theory are both based on that, and so are interval representations or Josang's account.

I'll check out Lindley's book, it sounds interesting.
>What did the location look like before? We don't know.

I'm going to go on a limb and say that the tracks being absolutely covered in discarded envelopes isn't normal.
Stephen Fry's podcast on Victorian England has an episode on exactly this - there was no concept of "disabled" person back then. Either you were "abled bodied" or not. Someone who could work and provide for their family was considered "able bodied", even if they were physically disfigured, missing limbs, having some mental illness or any other issues - if you can be a functional member of the society then you're able bodied.
Government or police? Government enforces pollution laws and will step in over wage theft. But you can't call 911 and say "my boss stole from my paycheck!" whereas that happens all the time with shoplifting.

Why must the government step in when these skeleton-crewed retail stores and supply chains have inevitable, predictable loss issues? The article itself makes this point.
The Ontario dashboard for "Not in ICU" currently shows 739 unvaccinated and 2050 vaccinated. But since effectiveness compares rates, not absolute numbers, one needs to normalize those numbers by the size of each subpopulation. Since roughly 80 percent of Ontarios are vaxxed, the relative risk for being unvaccinated is approximately

(739/0.2) / (2050/0.8) = 1.4

I knew a guy once with a milder version of what appears to be a similar syndrome. We worked together, and he would go out for lunch and wolf down a whole large pizza. Afterwards, he would get very hot and sweaty. He was not particularly tall and skinny as a rake. He wasn't an athlete, had a sedentary job, yet he was eating 2-3 times normal calorie intake, maybe 5-6K calories/day at least. In all other respects he seemed a normal guy, who to my knowledge did not eat toddlers. There was clearly some medical reason for what was going on, but since he seemed normal in other respects as far as I know he never went to the doctor about it. I'm not medical and have no idea what his syndrome was, but I wonder if it could have had something to do with his mitochondrial functions. See https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/shilling-for-big-mitoc... I'm not suggesting Tarrare was taking a drug that hadn't been invented yet, but that possibly he naturally had a natural version of the mitochondrial permeability syndrome that DNP induces.
Electricity is currently very expensive in Europe, and in many countries electricity comes from burning coal. So a device where clothes can dry without using electricity makes a lot of sense to me.

In December, many households in Sweden had electricity bills of 10000-15000 SEK, or more (~$1100-1600 or ~€900-1400).
I think air humidity has more to do with it than temperature. Clothes certainly can easily dry overnight inside a house at around 18 degrees Celsius.
I'm for it. The resume _is_ just data and the least interesting thing in an implication. The folio / work sample and the cover letter is the interesting part that will get you an interview.
> Besides, C programmers just won't use the feature if it requires allocation out of performance concerns.

Nevermind embedded platforms where heap might be unavailable or just so scarce that its use beyond early initialization is strictly verboten. Or interrupt handlers where you simply can't call an allocator.. Block scoped defer could still be useful on such systems (e.g. with locks).
However bad an article, it doesn't justify your breaking the site guidelines by posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments. You may not owe the article better, but you definitely owe this community better if you're participating here.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

To answer your question: I post moderation comments because it's my job. I can promise you (having posted 50,000 of them by now) that they are even more tedious to write than they are to read. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a better way to deal with accounts that are breaking the site guidelines—something that you've unfortunately done more than your share of. It would be a lot less work to summarily ban such accounts, but the community has made it clear it doesn't like that. So we post lots of explanations and lots of warnings and give lots of chances.

At a minimum the entire idea of "white collar crime" disproves the notion that people don't steal once they hit subsistence.
I would say it depends on how “good” (defined by academia) you are. If you think you’re a super star, then academia all the way. If you think you’re about average (especially at the phd stage), then industry may be more attractive.

Being a successful academic (eg consistent publications in top conferences or journals) brings a qualitatively better life style than SWE at a company.

You are globally recognised as an expert, can travel to meet like minded colleagues all over the world, and have full control of how you spend your time.

If however you’re struggling in academia, then it can be brutal because you spend more and more of your time trying to attract resources to continue your work.
I mean, judges in developed countries make these kind of judgement calls all the time, probably dozens of times a year in a country the size of the US. There's tons of well-developed common law around what is a legitimate expression of religion, what isn't, etc. Easily over 30 Supreme Court cases on this over the last couple of centuries. If I assert that I have a religious exemption to stop signs, taxes, gun laws, anti-discrimination laws, securities laws, etc. etc. judges can & do 'decide [what] your religion is', as you put it.

Unless you assert that literally zero laws apply to the religious, there's just no way around judges actually making these decisions
My main point was the database idea.
RISC-V is not immune to Spectre and Meltdown because these are implementation vulnerabilities. Any CPU implementation that uses out-of-order and speculative execution has to constantly worry about introducing these holes.

You don't need sunlight for drying clothes. They dry just fine indoors during the Norwegian winter here. Does that take more than 24 hours? Sure, but that's no problem if you plan a bit ahead.
Couldn't Mozilla just send a DMCA notice for trademark infringement?
Do you really think it’s a just a random coincidence that suburbanization dramatically accelerated after the key civil rights era cases prevented cities from segregating city services? A ton of the suburbs had racial covenants, there was explicit imagery around who your kids would be going to school with, realtors and mortgages tried hard to steer people into certain areas, police departments were famous for following black or Latino drivers around if they entered a white suburb, etc. That lasted for decades — Palm Beach police did ID checks on black motorists to learn which resident hired them into the 1980s! — and one of the big things keeping it alive was this constant narrative that there were lawless hordes ready to leave the inner city and rampage through your neighborhood.

I don’t think it’s the only factor but I find it very hard to believe that decades of that imagery, often openly embraced by the political candidates those neighborhoods voted for, was coming from nowhere. Absent that, I think there would have been a very different arc for American cities between WWII and the turn of the century.
How do you know people use those emails to bypass payment?
Well if you think about it, eating a whole live animal means eating the parts you normally don't and shouldn't eat - the excreta still in the guts, the bones, the teeth, the stomach acid etc.

Yes you can eat lizards and snakes safely, but usually not whole.
Re-creation of the 1990s dialup Internet experience
I remember watching it at the time and really enjoying the cover up aspect. Then rewatching it 15 years ago and finding the cover up a little less plausible. Then after rewatching it last year the whole cover up aspect felt dumb. What I put it down to was the following:

At the time it was aired, it was intended to be set in our universe. So there was some logic in maintaining the cover up because we obviously weren’t hearing stories about alien battles in the news. It’s only when you rewatch it 20+ years later and see all the 90s tech mixed with futuristic tech that you’re pulled out of the realism that it’s set in our universe. Once you see this as an alternative universe with an alternative earth, you no longer need the cover up to keep the cover up to aid with the viewers suspension of disbelief.

It’s a bit like with Dr Who and how present day humans have never heard of the Daleks despite the high number of episodes where they’ve invaded Earth. The moment the victim recognises the Dalek the moment you realise this isn’t set in a reality you occupy and that’s when all the tension disappears (it no longer matters what happens because you don’t care about an alternative Earth you don’t live in).
I heard the issue is that there no longer are "people responsible". Since Windows was moved under E&D, there is literally no one claiming ownership of Windows. So divisions like WebXT (the folks shoving advertisement in the OS, forcing Edge usage, etc.) are doing as they please with no oversight.

Windows is no longer a 1st class product at MS, it's 3+ layers below the CEO, same tier as Teams, or OneDrive... so no wonder it's going down the shitter.

Pretty strange if you ask me.

PS. This is 2nd hand info from friends that are MSFTers.
Not everyone has the luxury of choice though when it comes to employment.
I doubt your washing machine or dryer can simultaneously dry 25 pairs of blue jeans, which would fit on the rack. Let alone the 50 you’re suggesting.
Firstly you have succumbed to coercion by getting vaccinated to resuming your normal previous life activities. After 6 months you'll need another booster to continue having a valid pass. It's a never-ending cycle now.

Secondly you have realised first hand that vaccines passes give a false of sense of security.
Json Resume is still going strong. I am one of the founders, I try to do a couple major maintenance periods per year. Currently I am working on updating all the community projects built, still got quite a few to add but currently there is -> https://jsonresume.org/projects/

I think over 3k+ people use the new Gist hosting. (In our old hosting we had around 10k resumes. Not including those who by pass the free community hosting)

===

On a personal note, I've loved having my resume in a standard;

- Depending on what type of company/person I am applying to I will change my theme on the fly. (Startup vibes I will make it look hipster, if it's a more formal role I will use a simple black and white theme)

- I use to lose my most recent resume constantly, having it in a Gist called resume.json that I just edit seems to have solved that for me.

- Hopefully one day a standard will get integration adoption so I can just upload my resume.json and not have to fill out the same form fields a hundred times.
Modern dishwashers are very efficient. You can clean a full load of dishes ( day's worth for two ppl cooking at home) with only 4 gallons of water!

You can't handwash dishes with less water, nor can you get the water hot enough to sanitize the dishes like a dishwasher can.
I guess fluffy towels would be nicer, but I generally prefer the stiffness of air-dried clothing to machine dried. Shirts in particular.
The government has a legal monopoly on many things, including putting people behind bars. If you pay taxes, you'd expect them to "do something", because if they don't, where's the point in paying those taxes?
Most people don’t. In fact there are only 1.3M BTC left in exchanges today out of 18.9M BTC that exist.

There is about 250k BTC on ETH as WBTC, the largest secondary pool in escrow. Ren has about 18K BTC in escrow. Lightning network is about 3k BTC.

Humidity from drying clothes is not exactly good for you or your home. That also assumes heating to dry them in the first place i.e. you need to increase consumption to account for the extra cooling from the drying clothes, turns out you may as well use a dryer and get the job done (at least for the cold months).

For comparison though in the summer, drying a washer load takes around 2 hours during the day and maybe 4-5 during the night.

> "I would also advise against using the mkv container, and use mp4 instead."

Why? What exactly is wrong with Matroska? Almost every media player these days supports it just fine (as has been the case for a while now) and it's a great deal more featureful than the mp4 container.

If you've always air-dried, there's nothing to get used to ...

I guess I can see the appeal of soft fluffy towels, but I actually prefer mine stiff. I can't justify or explain it, but ... I do. Sheets as well .. thick linen sheets, air-dried so they're kinda hard ... mmmm.
iirc there is a standard cv form in Japan. I never had to go through the job search in this manner, but a colleague said he just picked up a pack from a convenience store, filled them out, and sent them to every company.

I'd argue XMPP has died long ago, at least for the purpose of the "Anything in this world that has survived for a long-time, had to be fit to withstand selective pressures." argument.

Of course it isn't completely dead, just like some enthusiasts still use about every imaginable historical computing platform, but for practical purposes, I think most public communities have moved, usually either to Matrix or closed platforms like Discord or Telegram.

This style existed since antiquity. Even Roman patricians lived in villas, which were standalone houses.
The operative words in the title are " ... in the United States".

There are fewer big companies in South Asia at present, so the top guys have to go out of country, (usually to the United States) to reach the top of their fields.

On the other hand in East Asia (China, Japan) there are plenty of opportunities in their own countries to 'do it big', so they stay in their home countries.

That translates to fewer Japanese and Chinese being available to power positions in the US, and more Indians being available.
I’m used to it and I actually like it.

I’ve heard that one can add white vinegar in the washing machine to soften the fabric, but so far I haven’t tried it.
I know it sounds silly, but one of the things that I particularly like about Lisp is the lack of the shift key. Notably, you can use identifiers-like-this. Yea, I haven't made the plunge to move () off the shift key, but I barely notice it compared to having to alwaysTypeLikeThis or type_like_this.

The keyboard fatigue adds up, and it's just an intangible I like about the language.
Please see my recent post history about losing a woke friend. I have talked with the woke and taken them seriously. "Wokeness" includes progressive ideas that are important to pursue, but it is also a platform for craziness.
you do know, another name for spam is unsolicited commercial email (UCE), right? That is exactly what that crap is, since a) the person didn't want it (unsolicited), b) its relating to commerce, and c) its an email.
You actually don't need have to have a phone number to use Gmail. You can skip that step.
Unsolicited email from people and businesses you don't know is spam - and deserved to be flagged as such.
Was this done for the first time? Is there any novel technology that enabled this? Why are these studies rare?
You should definitely avoid putting any Smurf DNA in your washing machine.
Edit: previous comment was washing pairs of blue genes ;)
True for the summer, we dry them inside in the winter and it does get a bit humid, but it doesn't really get much colder from drying the clothes. The humidity isn't great, though.
So it's hard wired, a bias or a bias that's hard wired? Or is simply maintaining convenient sources of protein a habit we have for food security and convenience? If so then we can achieve that without causing needless suffering.

But hey, eat whatever you like. Let's just not lie to ourselves to avoid ending an unnecessary habit.
Towels get stiff after air drying because they were too soaked with water.

You should try "spin wash cycle" for 10 mins after washing (not sure about the translation, essorage in French - dewatering).

So you have the best of both worlds:
Your towels air dry quickly, and are fluffy, you use far less energy than drying machine, and your towels / clothes are preserved.
In that specific line of consumer CPUs, not in general. SGX was re-cast as a server value-added tech some time ago. Windows unfortunately never really properly supported it. With Linux Intel could add the support itself, so SGX becoming a server tech was a rather forced move - a side effect of Intel's dependence on Microsoft's priorities to get new features added.
Why sacrifice your life? Hours are bad?
Any email I didn’t request or expect as part of a transaction (shipping update email) is spam as far as I’m concerned. I’m not concerned with any other definition other than my own. I will report every unsolicited marketing email as spam to my email provider. If the company that sent it wants to dispute that is between them and the provider. I don’t care what happens after I report and block the address. I don’t care if it takes “up to ten business days” to remove me from the marketing email list. That’s not my problem, I told you now I unsubscribed now and as far as I’m concerned any email I receive after that is spam.

I’m just a lowly user. Reporting it as spam is the only recourse I have.

Thanks to years of abuse of my email address by marketers I am all out of fucks to give.
