One day Nintendo will realize that the only way their IP will be truly preserved in the future is by DRM-breaking law-breaking rabid digital archivists who are seemingly more intent on getting their old titles running on newer hardware than Nintendo themselves are.

I mean seriously... quick, someone tell me which emulator of old hardware or software was actually supported in any way by the original creator of said hardware or software?
> Discussions of “Consciousness” in the context of ML or AI research always seem to devolve into navel-gazing futurist pseudointellectualism.

it’s a hard problem. it’s been the realm of philosophy for a good deal of time; neuroscience sometimes touches it; then AI came rushing out of the blue and the question became about a hundred times more relevant. if you are strictly concerned with only your own well-being, you’re fine to ignore it. if you’re concerned with your pet cat’s well-being, even after seeing first-hand how differently they navigate the world, and their much more limited goals/volition, etc, then maybe there’s something worth digging into here: why concern yourself with the well-being of one biological machine but not of the well-being of the non-biological machine, especially as they converge in complexity over time? is there a justification for that, beyond just “it’s hard”?
Under no circumstances did I claim that "all those people looking for a better life" as "slave labor". I asked an open ended and relatively rhetorical question.

Is 1% acceptable in your book vs. the majority of the workforce being in slave-labor-like conditions?

There is already a solution that lets us not reinvent this particular wheel. It's called Excel.

I hate using it.
That is because only masochists use Scala
Agreed. The backlash to the OP's article reeks of religion. A few AI zealots pushing the burden of proof upon their naysayers under the pretense of science. Meanwhile, actual science is far closer to basic concepts like:

I'm not sure your outrage at the IRS is well-placed. The Taxpayer First Act prevents the IRS from developing a competing tax-filing service: https://www.propublica.org/article/congress-is-about-to-ban-...

Ahh, gotcha.
Oral historians also thought writing would make people lazy and doom humanity to ignorance. People just fear change.

Neural Networks are nothing but math. Zeros and ones manipulated by a CPU. There is nothing remotely conscious here. They are literally the product of linear algebra. If neural networks are even slightly conscious then that means every linear algebra equation is “slightly conscious”.
Funny I just came up with almost the exact same analogy above and then saw your post.
Yeah, there are definitely some holdouts for the functionalist position like Dennett. Searle goes through Dennett's objections in detail in the lectures.
I'm working on something like this however its designed for pro audio users specifically.
One thought: does a server make better use of its environmental cost than a desktop?

Both now run multi-user operating systems, but due to both how OSes are sold and how desktops are managed, only one user will ever use it at a time. Over its operating life, the hardware of a desktop never realizes its potential.
This is cool, and a very polished effort!

The fact that it's open source makes me hopeful that someday it will be extended with other code generation options such as React, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, etc. It would be amazing to have something that's like the "Blender of UI design."
Or even "the cloud."

Society here apparently thinks that restricting opening hours helps employees at grocery stores. I can't judge that, but public opinion is unlikely to change, so there is not much hoping for these restrictions to be lifted.

That depends, the prices sometimes jump up or down the TA lines and moving averages, that is when lot of people get out but then the trend reverses and follows whatever the original pattern was.

So you still have to make a decision which may or may not be right.
People have had their GoDaddy/NameCheap/... account social-engineered away from them too. That might be easier to fix than your Gmail (because you're a paying customer), but if your npm is already gone, having NameCheap apologize doesn't help much.
I remember the DS being my most capable portable computer. Seeing an emulator for it in the browser feels weird.

(also, more on topic for your comment): Going the browser route now (counter intuitively) gives you more flexibility with language/tooling. I think as far as cooperate/closed source apps go the browser is absolutely the way to go. It's a very battle hardened sandbox and the W3c does a pretty good job accumulating portable standards for things. It even has push notifications and file I/O now (although Apple has been stingy with that.)
It's not even just an app slipping through review. It was featured!
'Only' implies that the funding was necessary, not that the funding was fully responsible. Also consider that 'only' was said by the researchers. From their pov the effort is a given, because that is what they control, while the funding is an anomalous outside factor.
I did few times and made some money ( although I am still not sure if it was luck or my skill) but in the end watching the market all the time got boring and I still had to do my job so I stopped.

We use beliefs to link tribes to a common cause.

A fantastic example of this is USA. so many different Abrahamic tribes all operating under the same beliefs to push a common social and political system.

Beliefs are earworms and dangerous.
AI is way overhyped, our current machine learning results in parlor tricks at best. My car still can’t drive itself. Microsoft is still waiting for a compiler that can make their code better. Google is still waiting for an AI to answer the phone. Facebook is still trying to teach Zuckerberg emotions. Youtube’s MI still deletes some poor person’s channel every week for no discernible reason. But we shouldn’t feel bad, didn’t it take the daleks three million years to conquer stairs?
I've always loved Nintendo. My only complaint right now is how hard it is to play homebrew and online games on the same switch, I guess I can afford to just buy a second one though.
I wouldn't say it's lacking modern features; Java 8 introduced closures, for example. Oracle also increased the pace of Java releases to once every 6 months since Java 9 and generally the features added have been significant improvements.

It’s unfortunate that this bill will reduce iPhone security to the level of macOS and consumers won’t have the choice to buy a secure device anymore (if the Supreme Court upholds it, because you know FAANG is taking it to court immediately if it passes).
Not a knock on WordPress at all, since it is ubiquitous. But for PHP I would say the "killer app" is actually Laravel.
Milka, Nutella, Lindt, Kinder.

Kinder Bueno is a good example of what I'm taking about. I know it has hazelnuts in. There's no bitter cocoa 'kick', just a sticky sweet taste. It's like chocolate for people who don't like the taste of chocolate.
It's free if your taxes are covered by:

* W-2 income
* Limited interest and dividend income reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV
* Claiming the standard deduction
* Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC)
* Child tax credits
* Student Loan Interest deduction

basically if you don't sell any assets, have employee stock compensation, or donate a ton of money you can file for free.
I used FreeTaxUSA with a Wealthfront account that had stock trading. Wasn’t charged.
Perfectly put. Without the reductionism the whole article falls apart.
I have a pretty good mental model of it in JS and TS, because it builds on the pre-existing Promises API, because the transpilation process let me see the equivalent vanilla code while I was learning it, and because the event loop plus the single threaded nature of JS meant that libraries were already using asynchronous code everywhere.

When it comes to other implementations, though, I find them much harder to work with. In particular, existing synchronous or threaded code can block them, there's no good way to fix it without rewriting the synchronous code or shoving execution into a traditional thread, and all the existing libraries are synchronous. It feels like you need a completely new standard library to take advantage.
It's been front page news for about a week. You wouldn't know it looking at HN though.
I think she should learn Haskell, she would appreciate the lack of punctuation and the consistent use of case in identifiers. It also makes you think.. a lot.
I don’t have much interest in an argument, but want to clarify, I’m not talking about security concerns of “live” vs inert malware. My point is that storing file blobs in a row-oriented relational database often comes with problems, creating performance issues and leading to scalability limits. With the malware corpus my org has, that was a real concern.

I agree that the point of these tools is operationalizing CTI and the benefit of doing that with any tool exceeds not doing it. But ultimately my org has been much better off with custom management of our malware and then using OpenCTI to record CTI, and I think folks interested in MISP should check out OpenCTI as a possible alternative.

That ad was pretty creepy.

It's like the people involved with the "metaverse" have never heard of market research.
Yes but a bank is supposed to do this because a law that was written to force them to do it.

There is not reason other than that, and it's circular logic to sidestep due process to point to the law that says that they have to do it as the reason they have to do it.

How much does a YouTuber/YouTube channel with an audience primarily in India make?
My take away: People often think they know whats best for others and create needless roadblocks in their 'best interest'.

Or the roadblocks were created to address a narrow problem set, while ignoring the broader benefits of doing so. So everyone gets punished in the interests of a few who don't like to read.
Thanks for the tip about WinApps. Looks like it might work for me but will try it out to confirm.
Bit late but no, one business unit makes the kernel, libraries, dev tools, frameworks, " ♥ 's Linux" (only on azure or in wsl though), the other makes the end user experience for Windows NT
I just did one full round (intro, hr, tech screen, virtual on-site). Even though I opened with "I don't know your stack, but I can pick it up," the onsite "strongly recommended" I build something in 4 hrs on their stack. The people were all super nice, but the whole process was a giant waste of time and energy.

The guides I've read say I should expect to repeat that funnel 5-10 times to get a few offers to compare, but I'm thinking about saying "fuck it" and starting my own thing.
The aristocracy still has power and is supposed to be a balance for the democratic part (like the senate/president balances against congress in the US.) When they become "just celebrities" they're not doing their job. You can see where a lack of balance gets you in eg Canada which only has a parliament. (I guess they technically still are under the Queen but she seemed to have more or less abandoned them even before she was bed ridden.)
anything in orbit is falling, not floating. Most of them falling at terrific rates oh and in lots of different directions. that net would have to be incredibly strong, also be able to stop spalling when objects in the net collide...
I'm a huge fan of Don Jayamanne. He also made the original python extension for vscode.

I always wondered why no one made a better node.js repl. I wish there was something like ipython for nodejs.
> I assume because nobody would file taxes for things that the IRS was absent from their report, because now you know the IRS doesn't know about it and won't be missing it.

That's not why.

The IRS is underfunded and overworked, so even if it had the information it needed to generate a report for everyone, it still couldn't do it. But it doesn't have that information anyway!

A lot of taxable income is derived from sources that are not reported to the IRS before taxes are filed. This includes things like cost basis for RSUs, state and local taxes (including property tax), and various kinds of investment income. Until 2008, brokers were not even required to report cost basis information to the IRS, which enabled people to easily lie about the amount of their taxable gains!

On top of that, there are a lot of deductions that are based on information the IRS does not have, such as business expenses, moving expenses, etc.

The IRS still largely relies on self-reporting by taxpayers. Anyone with a moderately complex tax situation (e.g. a homeowner, or someone with investment income) knows more about their tax situation than the IRS does!
Addressing Uncertainty, an Overview
Your suggestion might increase the costs so much that we will simply not have such free services. It’s best to limit expert support to actual purchases (like ebooks, apps, etc.) and services that have explicit guarantees.
What's the latest evidence?

Last I saw there were suspicions but an official YouTube twitter account said it was really Nintendo.
It sounds like you've maybe read Steve Grand's book, Creation: Life and How To make It?

That is his entire pitch; if you've not read it I wholly recommend it.

Why bother with an actual engine if we are using hydrogen for whatever reason? It reintroduces NOx emissions for less efficency. Fuel cell conversion is more efficient than heat engines are. And production is already a big haircut. Hydrogen is already a crazy corrosive lighter than air escape artist. If it wasn't such a problem child, then niche high capacity storage for surplus electric generation could justify worse round trip efficency.
> A bunch of my income is in RSUs. For us I need a VM to run TurboTax

No you don't. I've sold stock more years than not and I've never needed to do that.
The arrogance and abusiveness of Google/YouTube is that they don't see any competition nor have fear of legal actions against them by "lowly" "nobody" users. More people have to choose alternatives to the point that Google/YouTube management will notice and be concerned about.
Infinite Tree
You’re wading into epistemology, a topic that’s been discussed and debated for millennia. Which maybe relates to my larger point that the concept of “consciousness” quickly gets out of hand to the point where it seems to me a little silly to say neural nets are “slightly conscious.”
Not trying to sound like a jerk, but do they care? It'll take away from their money made on remastering old classics for new machines. I wonder how much Nintendo as a company really cares about this stuff, as in the unprofitable sentimental stuff
The MacOS App Store recently highlighted in a curated list a color picker app that doesn’t grab the actual color. There are plenty of reviews complaining about the problem and I confirmed it doesn’t work properly.
Or just throw Garage on a few nodes and duplicate the data all over the place.
"The increasing cost of manufacturing these treatments makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to develop and test gene therapy for many ultrarare diseases where the number of patients worldwide is very small and profitability low.

We were able to deliver these treatments to the children in our ongoing clinical trials thanks only to funding from a generous family whose own child is a participant. This grassroots approach is a common theme in ultrarare disease research – development and testing are often supported by parents, foundations and federal grants."

FYI - if anyone here is interested in helping these kinds of causes, a company called Orchard Therapeutics provides similar treatments and has just signed a historic agreement for reimbursement for treating MLD patients in Europe (you can read more about it here: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/02/04/237899...).

Also big discretion: I do have a lot invested in the company and I have incurred significant losses since deciding to invest in it. In the brilliant world of pyramid schemes vested around crypto-coins and NFTs, I don't regret anything and will keep buying more shares to support the dignity of human life.

It is an architectural detail. MIPS for example doesn't have a carry flag. You have to do the exact same procedure in assembly on MIPS you have described in your previous comment when doing multiple word addition.

And you haven't even mentioned the Hanford Nuclear Reservation yet.

I volunteered at Audubon's WetNet (Wetlands Conservation Network) for most of the 90s. Their mission was to save the salmon from going extinct. So doing stuff like saving habitat (waterways, wetlands, shorelines, etc), keeping water cooler, opposing new fisheries (the final nail in the coffin for wild runs), etc.

People just don't get how bad things have become.

There's a jupyter kernel for node, several of them actually. https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels This is probably the one you want to check out: https://github.com/n-riesco/ijavascript There's one built specifically for typescript evaluation too.
Don't confuse the vehicle with the passenger. They are both heading towards same direction, but they are very different things.
That doesn't change what I said.
I don't think that really is what OP is asking. The simple answer is that people are very fearful and confused over finances and Intuit offers tools to manage it. And they likely found very high conversion rates by offering these services midway through a very stressful process. Having a company with a strong public reputation offer services to protect your finances is likely very appealing.

I think it's also unfair to say the only standing between us and free file is lobbying. Lobbying doesn't set policy. Congress can still do whatever they want. And it's not like Intuit is keeping free file secret. The IRS hasn't built it. Doing so would cost money, create new bureaucracy and likely face a distrustful public who would rather pay a company then trust the IRS.
I'm not the author of the linked webpage, but here are some of the things I find valuable about my Markdown daily log:

- I don't have to rely on my possibly faulty memory about the details of past events. My logs often have considerably more detail than I remember over a year later, and I have already identified one instance where what I remembered was inconsistent with an email (not one of my logs, to be clear) I wrote at the time. I trust the email more than my memory.

- I can answer when something happened with full-text search.

- I can read through the logs chronologically to see the evolution of my thinking on many topics.

When I tell others about my daily log a lot of people seem interested in possible mental health benefits. I can say that I don't see any mental health benefits in my case. I don't write a gratitude journal or anything like that, as such things always seemed forced to me. I focus mostly on summarizing what happened in the day and what I'm thinking about that day.
We probably shouldn't put the main focus on rare disease but on genetic manipulation in general. It would be much more valuable to be able to cure arbitrary genetic defects than just the ones that are somewhere between uncommon and extant.
I guess it's a cultural thing + buyer's remorse or how you call it, since that's what you've been exposed to for the most of your life.

I grew up in the other part of the world, the only popular games being Quake 1/2/3, Half Life, Star Craft +BW, Diablo 1/2+LoD, Red Alert, CS and later Lineage 2. I have no recollection of Nintendo at all. It was non existent in this part of the world (except the "Dendy", the bootleg hardware clone of NES for us, we all played mario and mortal kombat for a while, but then it died just as quick as it appeared).

Looking at Nintendo games now, I could see why they might be popular with younger kids, buy I'll never buy into the fact that an adult might like them, that just seems like some advertising ...

Today I can't even imagine not gaming on a computer, both AAA, indie games and big name games are shit though.
I feel like most of Chomsky's political ideas are crap but he absolutely nailed the pathological social effects of PR.

From what I remember about that case, he was one of 8 people who were on the network at the time, but the authorities told him he was the only one, leading to his quick confession. Meaning that if he had stuck to his guns and denied it there wouldn't have been a good way to prove he was the one who did it.
