But most infant deaths before 1900 were from infectious diseases that didn't even exist in human populations until our ancestors lived in large enough groups to become disease reservoirs.

But your response just proves the meta-point I made, in my earlier comment... If you don't have any qualifications in Neolithic anthropology, and you're not citing any evidence from people who DO have those qualifications, then your uninformed speculations are just fairy tales.

In not against unqualified speculation... Just don't be surprised when people point out that you have no idea what you're talking about, and that you're probably wrong.

> A lot of people have a big chunk of their net worth tied up into home equity because it's sort of the "ordained" path to building wealth for the middle class

The flipside is that a lot of people spend a big chunk of their lifetime earnings on rent with no return simply because the barrier of entry to home ownership is so high.

I agree that housing shouldn’t be an investment first or by default and I agree that condos would be an excellent vehicle to bring more into home ownership by lowering the cost of entry.

I am not convinced by the Chinese room. If it walks like a duck and quacks as a duck - it is a duck (the same rule holds for Python and Dennett).

I mean, I don’t believe GPT-3 experiences the subjective sense of existence. Yet, most human cognition is also learning patterns and repetition. Most people use words they don’t know definition of. Most people use grammar rules intuitively. Most people repeat what they have heard without scrutiny.

Data in data out.

AIs are not magical, they just learn to put things together from what they were given.

Google being a "progressive" company would have of course trained it to walk on egg shells when someone questions a gender assumption that it makes. It's well within their corpus and culture.

I'd say, generally, if you say "I'm a he/him" then it will call you a "he/him" - to separate that into treating it as he / him in the grammatical sense just seems like a "basic grammar" module that would have to be bolted after someone is classified as male or female, nevermind non-binary types.

I wonder if all future AIs now have to dedicate some portion of their NN to grammar-and-gender rules to avoid upsetting modern sensibilities.

I kind of think that we need to steer AIs away from trying to talk like humans at all. We can develop a simple grammar and language that AIs share information with, something a little more efficient than English perhaps.

But then what value are we to extract? Not much of its not in our language..

Thankfully I just train all my AIs to talk in the second person ("YOU" etc.) So it's another way to avoid the problem, but still might have eggshells in the public sphere, so I don't really release

I don't think that's a very fair comparison. You wind up with 1 when trying to make every number system from the naturals up. The imaginaries basically never come up except when using complex numbers in general, and certainly don't in the high-school and undergrad classes where people first learn about them.

Unless they changed it, small scale bots (10 servers or less, large bots need approval) can see every message event in every channel they have access to using the websocket API. They can also query older messages. It's pretty straightforward once you know how to use the API.

From there it's no longer a Discord problem, as you just need to export that data somewhere. There's bots which already partialy do this. There's bots that log edits & deletes for moderators to review and bots like TicketTool (https://tickettool.xyz/) let you create special one-off channels (tickets) that you can export to html on closure too.

A donation and a loan are not the same thing. Even for a 0% loan.

This means Signal has an obligation to come up with $105 million somehow. So, at the least, they can monetize $105 million worth, and still be a non-profit. More likely, they need to monetize $2 million/year for that loan, plus however many $million/year to pay salaries, etc. just to break even and be "non-profit." When you pay a single developer $200K/year + $20K/year health insurance + $5K/year food, it's pretty easy to be a non-profit even when you are trying to be high-profit.

> It's a little unfair to Schwarzschild.

How is telling the truth about what he did and did not do unfair?

> He discovered his solution, the first solution to Einstein's equations, while serving in WWI

Yes.

> and actually before Einstein published his paper on general relativity.

Before the official publication in 1916, yes. As I understand it, Einstein sent Schwarzschild a preprint and Schwarzschild based his work on that.

> Schwarzschild died just a couple months after his paper describing the solution was published.

Yes, and this was undoubtedly a tragedy.

None of the above, however, contradicts what I said, which is that Schwarzschild did not realize that his solution described what we now call a black hole. The post I was responding to said Schwarzschild "saw the obvious", meaning saw a black hole in his solution. He didn't. Nobody did until the 1930s.

Assume it is.

Workers: We don't want to do labor unless it is tied to more pay.

Employer: No, we want you to do more work with the same pay.

Workers: Ok, we will do less work then.

Many countries have visas for stays longer than 90 days. They aren’t arcane, you just have to do the research. As far as I know there’s no EU- or Schengen-wide long-stay visa. You figure out where you’d like to stay and then look up what visas allow you to stay for a year or longer, and what the requirements are. Quite a few European countries have one-year renewable visas for retirees, for foreigners who own land or a business in their country, for people who have independent income derived from elsewhere.

You don’t try to make legal arguments with immigration officials. You don’t have any right to enter a foreign country, nor do you have legal standing to challenge their laws. You will just get turned away at the airport, or deported, and maybe blacklisted.

It’s not particularly hard to stay in a foreign country for longer than a tourist visa or visa waiver allows. I did it for years, as a US citizen. You just have to do the research and comply with the rules to get the visa you need.
However it didn't recognize he/him as pronouns and it assumed it's just a nickname.

So it knows that people are sensitive about being called a man if they are not, but didn't get recent infatuation with pronoun declarations.

I wonder how would it react if it assumed that speaker was a woman and was corrected. Would it be just as apologetic? Or would it just go "sorry mate!"
Where as to me, not pursuing it is condemning people to countless years of not existing. Which seems far more cruel than choosing to have a limited life span.

Discord never promised, to anyone, it'd be an indexable source of information.

Funnily enough, neither are electronic mailing lists. Great effort was required to publish them for search crawlers. Electronic mail is fundamentally private communication.

Discord is a chat app for chatting with your buddies, privately. Private conversations? Remember those.

The issue here isn't that Discord is bad at its job. The issue is that it's a highly attractive, lightweight, easy to use platform.

There's simply no platform of equivalent pedigree for kicking off an indexable internet discussion community. Maybe Reddit is the closest. For all the complaints of end users, if you're trying to administer a community Discord is head and shoulders.

In the end, if you want an equivalent indexable discussion platform, make one.

And make it with more attractive features than Discord. There's lots of unattractive platforms already.

You should not be comparing America as a whole to most other countries. The states have historically had more autonomy resulting in more diverse sets of laws and cultures than most other countries. If you must compare, I think state level data would be a more fair comparison.

My experience is very different !

Coconut coir is a real pain and struggle to remove and separate from the roots when you need a transplant.

Likewise small plastic containers are way too small for growing trees especially from large and medium seeds like nuts or mangoes.

Ideally, you want to pick a really big one (at least 5 to 8 liters) with a preference for depth over width, to grant the tree more space to grow and not damage the roots. They are quite sensitive in the first year, and each transplant will slow the growth for 1 to 3 weeks.

Growth is driven by two things : environment (sun/water/temperature) and soil. The one you find in most gardening shops is fine, as long as it's not too heavy and doesn't contain peat (might be difficult for our North American friends). I switched to fine, light soil with mycorrhizae and wood fiber, with a greater success.

Fertilizer is completely optional in the first year, but if you add some, avoid putting it in contact with the roots.

Finally, trees grow stronger if they are kept without support under the assault of the rain, wind and sun. They are meant to resist and adapt to their environment, so you really don't need to add a prop to keep them straight.

This year, I'm testing different style of pruning. My intuition tells me that no-to-very-light pruning yields better development than the fast and heavy pruning you see in gardening shops.

PS: I've grown 30 trees from seeds on my small balcony.
Many industrialized countries have banned forced prison labor, but still allow some form of voluntary labor. The 13th Amendment enshrines it at the highest law of the land of the United States, and prisoners are often punished for refusing forced labor. Forced penal labor is also embraced by many other authoritarian countries like Communist China and Vietnam.
Yea that sure works great in countries with ineffective law enforcement.

Ye sure I agree. Structured programming was a rational displacement of goto:s. I think it took Fortran like 20 years before it got proper loop constructs and you could essentially write to the instruction register with assigned goto, like Fortran was some Macro Assembler.

But the contempt goes further than "goto vs subroutine calls" or "goto vs the if-else construct".

With "underlying reason" I meant more like "underlying reason for the contempt of all use of goto". Even when goto makes the code less spaghetti and more readable.

I think the analogy with the Pirate Bay actually holds up pretty well. In the end bidding on Open Sea results in a contract method being called on the blockchain which transfers the actual ownership.

Sure, just like the music/film industry targetted Pirate Bay as a central place for sharing torrent files, the same thing can happen with OpenSea.

The more important point I'm making is that the fact that anyone can deploy their own EIP-721 contract means that there has to be central agreement about which is the legitimate version of an NFT. I find this to be an amusing property for a, supposedly, decentralised system.
Out of curiosity, why?

Seems fairly simple to perform simple keyword searching, just like Slack.
Counterpoint, basically everyone who runs them runs up-to-date Chrome and iOS. This is more an argument that some centralized systems are poorly (or perhaps weakly?) managed.

Could you not copy their alerts and use DNS aliases and/or load-balancing to migrate them?
The answer is no/no/no because you cannot define a general comparison operator between dates and times without additional context. It's possible that you can define a contextual comparison operator that works for your domain and the question you want to ask, but without knowing the application for this comparison it's pointless to try to make a general statement.

My mental model for these kinds of things is that Times are instants and Dates are either:

1. Ranges (with the start and end Time depending on TZ and possibly other context)

2. Discrete cells of a calendar (which are mostly TZ independent - July 5th doesn't happen at the same time everywhere, but it is well-defined everywhere)

Also, I've been writing code for 25 years and I still have no idea what a DateTime is.
I think it just assumed it's talking to woman and chose apologetic tone. It didn't recognize pronouns it was given as pronouns. It assumed he/him is a nickname.

>The massive buildup of Russian troops on the Ukraine and Belarus borders, therefore, is not to deal with a threat from the West. Rather, it is to divert attention from the internal health, demographic challenges, living-standards collapse and pervasive corruption that the Russian citizenry is suffering under the mismanagement of an incompetent Putin regime.

This, most Russians are living a hard life, hand to mouth. They ask him why he sends their children to die trying to kill friends in Donbass and now possibly the rest of Ukraine. This is an evil murderous criminal gang with Putin as their leader. Somehow he has convinced a piece of Russian society that they are under threat by a country like Ukraine that is even poorer and more fragile. He has also gone to great lengths eliminating any who voice an opinion counter to his.

The world really needs to come together and not just for Ukraine's sake but for the millions of Russians who are suffering under this despot in poverty and despair. Hopefully, enough pressure developes that makes this killing of Ukrainians to costly even for Putin and his inner circle. What a shame it would be having Europe and the world bend a knee to this crime against humanity.
Silicon is purified by conversion to trichlorosilane, followed by distillation. One doesn't need extremely pure silica as the input. An intermediate step for this is reduction of silica to metallurgical silicon which is not anywhere close to semiconductor grade (it's about 98% pure).

Where one DOES want pure silica is in making the crucibles where silicon is melted. There's a particular mine in North Carolina (Spruce Pine) where this very pure silica is mined. We could make artificial pure silica, but this stuff is cheaper.
Journalists have tried to put stories together on vulnerability researchers being threatened (and, hey, I'll raise my hand here: I've been threatened several times). But if you look at the actual instances where things have gotten far enough along to report, the fact patterns break down. It tends to turn out that people are getting threatened for:

* "Researching" serverside apps --- software running on computers the researcher doesn't own --- which is widely understood to fall afoul of CFAA and categorically isn't the kind of work P0 does.

* Breaching contracts, which happens commonly when vuln research firms take on pentest vendor assessment contracts for companies considering purchases, where the pentester access to the target was explicitly arranged under NDA.

* Stuff that isn't vulnerability research under any sane definition, as when people find open S3 buckets, grab all the files off them, and then try to "conduct research" based on the contents of the stolen files.

None of this is at play in the kind of work P0 does, and there are basically no modern stories about straight vulnerability research done under P0 terms where meaningful legal threats have been made. There was a time around the turn of the last century where it was briefly believed that the DMCA might be wielded against vuln researchers, but that didn't pan out.
I’ve always been tempted, but I almost worry I’d start obsessing over “the next find” as well as hoarding. While I’m (maybe?) 75% kidding, I do already have a garage half full of my stuff over the years that I can’t bring myself to throw away and am planning to fix and sell/gift/donate.

It’d be great if there were a more formal delineation, at the point of disposal, between “pure trash” (no value, even as scrap) and “things others may extract value from” (unwanted, fixable, etc).
Thanks for sharing! I think is quite impressive. But tough crowd here on HN :)
I get what you're saying, but complex numbers go right into literally any slot a real number goes into. That isn't true of a matrix. Plus, they implicitly include the reals as a subset, which lets them follow in the tradition of the integers, rationals, and reals. It's sort of hazy, but I'd only start to draw the line at the p-adiacs.
> even blockbuster film scripts

It is other way rounds- these are way more manufactured and processed up to details. That is why they are so repetitive, formulaic and predictive. The studios don't take risks with these. They always have the same ending, are designed to cause same feelings etc. It is also current method of writing scripts and analysing movies.

That is not the case for all books a cross cultures and history of literature. Authors, including famous ones, in fact did placed things in "just because" and were not ashamed of it. At times super proud of it even (or lying about it too). They did experiments too. And they had deadlines they had to fill, which was very real thing that did notnalways even allowed them to gauge every detail. And this includes famous writers.
