It's not her substack, this was a guest post on lyz's "Men Yell At Me" substack. Also it's quite hilarious to complain about someone "trying to raise hell" when everyone knows that the other side is constantly spouting rabid anti-Semitism and other hateful memes purely "for teh lulz", of which many examples are provided in the post.
+1 for thorough but:

> Titanium is in theory much better, but is incredibly difficult to work with(requiring forgings in most cases, and being almost unmachinable), and very expensive as the bond it forms with oxygen is so strong the normal fluorine based processing used with Aluminum won’t work. Yeah, you read that right.

I have a spoon bought from Amazon which they claim is made from titanium. [Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_SR-71_Blackbird)
claims 31 aircraft made from titanium and first flew in 1964. Given they got it off the ground in 1964 and can make a spoon in 2022 what kind of machining problems are left to solve for titanium? Usually it's the other way round like make s spoon from wood for 5,000 years then make an aircraft in 1905.
The move to GTK3 and Wayland can’t come soon enough for me. :)

I feel like his point is that we've put creators, of all forms of media, on such a high pedestal that we're neglecting the mundane things that keep life running smoothly.

I guess it's a job/career version of "social media is making us all lonelier." Everyone wants to be a creator like everyone wants to be an influencer...

Okay, sure, but why are we doing that? I feel like it's something more fundamental that's gone off the rails. This is a form of society-wide coping mechanism until we can identify and try out solutions to whatever that fundamental issue is.

preaching to the choir, everyone wants sleep
Those might be the same people who say "why do you do research in field X, rather than on cancer research?". Why do you have a job as an admin rather than go back to school and become a cancer scientist?

It's easier to criticize the actions of others than to take responsibility.
I've had terrible sleep issues forever. Finally got my sleep apnea and insomnia sorted out some years back (CPAP and melatonin+magnesium took care of it for me) and the difference is just incredible. I mean I would worry on a daily basis that I was going to black out at work and hit my head on my desk. (While still putting out decent work most of the time - not completely sure how). I no longer take multi-hour naps several evenings a week after work. I can't overstate the difference it's made in my life.

Anyway, if you suffer from sleep issues, I urge you to take it seriously and do anything in your power to mitigate them.
Because it was really closer to 80 years ago? Or because in the present case there are no military secrets of any kind involved, so no excuses like Oak Ridge would have merited?

It is almost as bad that they are using up a million gallons of precious fresh water every day. Then, where are they flushing the other 1.8m barrels of water?
You're just proving the opposite point: Settings are a failure of design.

Why do you visit settings? Because there's a slightly annoying behavior that you want to change. Because the defaults aren't always great.

But the slightly annoying behavior is a failure of design, it shouldn't have existed in the first place. The defaults should always have been great.
This seems to be the golden way of solving the problem Postman is attempting to solve. Have your request collection as code that you can develop with your features and check into your VCS.

I always dreamed of something like this and was more than surprised that it doesn't seem to exist. Does anyone know of a similar solution for node.js?
Compressed air energy storage is already a thing!

The energy stored is limited by the tensile strength of the container. The best capacity for a unit weight is from laminated carbon fibre tanks, but this still doesn’t even approach the energy density of ordinary hydrocarbon fuels.

You’ll find that there’s lots of interesting ways to store energy — like flywheels or chemical cells — but one way or another they’re all inherently limited by chemical bond strengths.

Fundamentally all energy storage is some sort of stored “tension” in chemical bonds that can be released to do useful work.

The reason fuels are so good is that this release needs a second component (oxygen) that is kept separated. This makes high energy densities safe.

No separation — like with compressed gas — means that the energy storage is a bomb waiting to go off. It would be too dangerous to use.
Space colonization is simply jumping third or fourth steps removed from the dream of making our Earth more livable and more ecologically diverse, or learning how to build and make an acrology.

From that perspective, it's no wonder why people think it's a waste of space, because they saw no meaningful purpose. Meanwhile, we're doing the opposite of terraforming Earth, by making it more unlivable everyday.
> This is a whole another blog post, so I'll paint with broad strokes for now. My city, Seattle, is crumbling. We don't have the energy to maintain the roads, and our bridges are literally falling apart. We can't even maintain what our grandparents built, let alone make any grand new projects.

What in the world does this have to do with people creating art? Maybe the crumbling infrastructure is emblematic of poor leadership (N.B. we aren't allowed to blame Democrats for running Seattle into the ground in tech circles), corrupt politicians, poor city planning, etc.

I get it, let's blame the musicians (what?)! The point is genuinely completely devoid of any through-line.

> The reason a young, enterprising indie dev can churn out product is because that person is surrounded by cheap products made overseas in punishing conditions by people we never see. These are the delicious fruits of Empire.

What a "college freshman" take on things, I wouldn't even know where to start.
Unsurprising, and totally preventable by FB/Meta. Symptom of broader social issues, but in creating a community space without good defaults or planning they set themselves up to fail.

Also, during Beta?? Devolved fast. Couldn't be hard to verify and ban those involved.
Maybe I'm just too old school, but I was raised with "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me". Not, of course, that I don't want to help someone who's bullied by everyone at school, because being a social outcast with no friends is miserable, but you don't have to use Twitter, or associate your personal account with your professional work.
They are similar but not the same, for instance SSE has movemask, but NEON does not, so it gets emulated(slowly) when targeting that platform. The cross lane ops are different enough that you might need to rewrite for other platforms. And then you run into situations where an instruction is very fast on one architecture but horribly slow on another because its basically emulated.
Using the word "Settings" is a design failure. For example, when I right click on my so-called modern desktop, there is a longish drop down menu with a "Desktop Settings..." menu item in it which goes to a window named "Desktop" and defaults to the Background tab. On my more antiquated OS, the menu item is named "Change Desktop Background..." which seems more obvious / discoverable.

+1 for OpenHab. I have tried HA several times, but always cone back to OH for its super simple ui and app layout editors. Apt install is also nice.

The same thing that happens when normal hours come up against a deadline. If most weeks are 32 and then occasionally they are 40 that is still reduced hours compared to most at 40 and an occasional 48.
Ok, give me a number.
There is a prediction market called Metaculus.

TL;DR In 2020 community of 169 people and the best forecasters were assigning ~15% that it will happen by July 2021.

More specifically, on Dec 31, 2016 in partnership with Center for the Study of Existential Risk, Machine Intelligence Research Institute, and The Future of Life Institute they asked:

How long until a machine-learning system can take a simple text description and turn it into a program coded in C/Python?

https://www.metaculus.com/questions/405/when-will-programs-w...

First 19 forecasters in March 2017 were predicting mid-2021, the best forecasters were predicting late 2024. When the question closed in 2020 the community was predicting January 2027 and the best forecasters were predicting March 2030.

The question resolved on July 2021 when Codex was published.

Community and the best forecasters were assigning ~15% that it will happen by July 2021.

I'm currently 14th best forecaster there and I was predicting 33% before July 2021. It was my last prediction, and it was made on October 2018.

I'm also predicting 75% that we will have AGI by 2040 as defined in this question:

https://www.metaculus.com/questions/3479/when-will-the-first...

20% that it will happen before 2030.

There is also stronger operationalization:

https://www.metaculus.com/questions/5121/when-will-the-first...

My prediction here is 60% before 2040 and 5% before 2030.

I have also "canary in the coal mine" questions:

When will AI achieve competency on multi-choice questions across diverse fields of expertise? Community predicts 50% before 2030, I agree.

https://www.metaculus.com/questions/5276/ai-competence-in-di...

When will AI be able to learn to play Montezuma's Revenge in less than 30 min? Community predicts 50% before 2025, I think 50% before 2027.

Reduced hours at the #1 sweat shop. That's a good one to start February.
Interesting! My experience is that scooping is less of an issue in math than in any of the science fields I have friends in. Papers are lower-stakes, there's less money involved, and if two of you are working on the same project you can just co-author.

(And if you have an independent paper, that can _also_ get published; your paper is distinct even if the result isn't. I think the PT HOMFLY polynomial was independently proven in like four different papers published within two years (and it's named so that all eight authors get credit).

But also, publication lags shouldn't lead to more scooping, because you can put it up on the arXiv at the beginning of the publication process, not the end. In my experience the paper is treated as "real" once it hits the arXiv; the acceptance is mostly a formality that lets us put it on our promotion packet.

But also, publication times don't lead to scooping generally because you

I wonder if there is some sort of trade off (cognitively speaking).
The problem is that the effectiveness of lockdowns depends on the degree to which you are able to compartmentalize. If some regions have a lockdown and not others, but people are able to freely move from one region to another, then the least strict policy will be the one (roughly speaking) limiting disease transmission.

The stringency index should be aggregated as the minimum of all areas that allow for freedom of movement.
This is probably and edge case you don't need to worry about. For the most part, you can rely on the user agent for a scraper that cares about these meta tags to identify itself as a bot (e.g. twitterbot). Since meta tags are machine, not user, facing, I don't think there's much of any benefit in trying to serve the meta tags to a bot that is intentionally trying to emulate a human.
How has a product that is nothing but a series of renders from an unknown company garnered this much attention?

The headline seems custom designed to anger the Hacker News crowd. Wouldn’t a real product advertise it’s thinness or lightness rather than it’s lack of ports?
Yes, basically. After you root the device and install things like Xposed, "safety" feature called SafetyNet will most likely start reporting to apps that your device is untrusted. Google Pay, some banking apps and similar software may stop working or complain. There are still some ways to cloak the root and let SafetyNet pass but that may easily change with a simple Google Play Services OTA upgrade or something like that and it is simply not worth the risk for me personally. I don't want to spend days hacking around a recent update in order to regain the ability to pay with my phone, I don't want to block a queue of people when a payment machine displays generic rejection errors...
If you asked me to name a movie that had a clear pervasive fakeness, I would never have thought "The Wolf of Wall Street". Conversely, I routinely feel like MCU movies are guilty of this. So it seems to be less "CGI always reads out as fake" and more how you're using it.
I think it's a bit more than just that, but yeah, it's not very well defined or detailed. A bit of a jobs version of everyone wants to be an influencer on social media, but it's making everyone lonelier.

Rather cynical. You're basically just assuming everything they say about the job must be a lie.
Amazon employees get RSUs. The difference between stock options and RSUs is that options are worthless if the stock price doesn't go up, but RSUs are worth the stock price, so it doesn't have to go up, it just needs to not drop.

I have programmed computers since I was 6 years old in 1988. I have over 20 years of professional experience in different roles in the trifecta of software engineering/AI research/leadership.

Hoping to relocate to Southern Spain for remote work.

I was one of the people growing the deep learning revolution in Finland organizing Cybercom Machine Learning Guild and later AI Morning, and created one of the first open source implementations for Google Wavenet. I have won two IndustryHack competitions. I research industrial anomaly detection on my own time. I have authored quite a lot of patents in deep learning.

I am open to all kinds of senior and leadership positions which benefit from a generalist.
There's a difference between the driver setting the cruise control above the speed limit, and a computer unilaterally deciding that it should run a stop sign.

Assuming it's a lone wolf and not a criminal gang (suits on Wall St. or sex traffickers in Bulgaria).

Also, that's what patsies and false credentials are for. It's easier to buy new identities in other countries where money talks and ethics are flexible.
Imagine saying there's too much culture...

This just strikes me as an incoherent rant from someone whose games obviously don't sell. IMO you can never have too much music, books, recipes, or games. Culture is important and as we get closer to a post-scarcity world people will expend less effort on survival and more on art and culture. Or space travel and technology that we don't need (but which we have to create because humans are curious).

Thanks, yeah that makes complete sense. Plus I would imagine the more energy density you need, the heavier your enclosure has to be, always partially negating the benefit!
It's crumbling around us in part because we decided to overspend on infrastructure we don't need for one of the most inefficient form of transportation.

Instead of improving things we already have, we decided to move to the 'frontier', or worse, demolish perfectly good streets.
Ah ok! So then the other replies are valid then. Agree with others, to me this is useless. Browser handles it already if I wanted it, and I never use that anyway.
Wake me up when an AI creates an operating system on the same level of functionality as early-years Linux.
I think the problem (beyond her working for a competitor) is it's hard not to think of Dennis from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "help help I'm being oppressed!".
1. Working at home I usually spend more time listening to music than I do wearing shoes.

2. Making shoes these days means working in a sweatshop somewhere, which isn't an appealing dream.

3. Disney makes more money from music soundtracks than from shoes, so you can see which one they might want to promote.

4. Musicals are a popular animated film genre; shoe-icals, not so much.
I'd say it's evidence based skepticism
this is a terrible analogy. I learned implementing sempahores when building a kernel. It's absolutely required to learn, a necessary step to building the "house"
> But because other brands release millions of boring cars with 0 innovation they are not criticized.

That's not actually why.

It's because carmakers are huge advertisers. You get on their bad side, they pull their advertising.

Tesla's advertising consists of Elon Musk's Twitter account, so Tesla gets the reporting the others would get if the authors weren't reliant on the subjects of those stories for their paychecks.
4 weeks of primary on-call.
Or maybe just the barriers to entry have significantly fallen. I remember making stupid games on my C64 back in the day, the difference was I didn't have a way to get it to people beyond my immediate family and friends.

Couple low barriers to distribution with a culture that encourages constant hustling for money and this is what you get.
Popular YouTuber steals 500K from fans with a cryptoscam
how do your jobs delight you? My experience - back from when jobs only wanted you to have fun but it seems to be the same thing - is they give you foosball and ping pong and maybe a gym membership - ok also some times free soft drinks and good cafeterias?

So I guess I like some of that stuff now that I've listed it all but I was never really delighted, maybe just happy I could get a coke with my burger.

I guess to delight me I need magic doorways and 1920s era Santa Claus (none of this post modern stuff where Santa is a trained killer who enslaves elves or stuff, I don't like it)
I actually tried comparing 128-bit SIMD to the 64-bit performance and the difference was 2x. I only published the results for the 4x comparison, but it should be pretty easy to reproduce if you change the types in the non-SIMD code[1] from i32 -> i64.

I know of changes for the worse that Mozilla has made, using telemetry as a justification.

I don't know if I've heard of any changes for the better that have been prompted by telemetry data. It could be... maybe there are bug fixes or UI refinements. I just haven't heard of any.

Or about movies! Although, to be fair, a similar mindset creeps in that field too: it ceases to be art, or moving stories, or mind-changing ideas from movie makers. Now it's all about content, and how much it is consumed.

I don't have data or facts to share, but I have a strong gut feeling that people who consider art (in a very broad meaning, including entertainment, games, music, etc) to be a commodity are not only missing out, they make the world a worst place to live in.
Did you even read the article I linked? I have friends that have the XC40 Recharge...

> In fact tesla is about to release structural batteries cars, that will use battery as part of the cars body, makes it even more safe. Model Y with structural pack will be out in March 2022.

I'll believe that when I see it. How's the Tesla Semi release going? Especially since structural batteries are still an active research topic that actual researchers think will be in mass production in 5 years or more.
But that's not really contradictory, is it? If you believe that you're a better driver than autopilot, just don't use it, or buy another car. It's not at all dishonest or deceptive marketing (if the claim is factually accurate, of course).

> it is not enough for them to be able to handle the "easy" kind of driving (e.g. on highway and under relatively good visibility conditions) better than humans

Is there any evidence that they actually do the easy stuff better than humans? I would want to see it compared with cars of similar age and cost driving on similar roads with similar aged people in control of the vehicle. I'm pretty skeptical that such a comparison would in fact be favourable to Tesla.
