In the US, workers don't get to make political demands. Union membership is at an all-time low and most states have stacks of anti-worker laws. So maybe our different perspectives are simply based on the realities of our different countries.
Artificial neural networks, which underlie most of deep learning, is an example of that. Maybe not totally forgotten, but set aside multiple times in history due to issues around practicality. There are probably a few more of these out there, but it's one of the best known ones.
If everyone were to think that way there would be no need for those weapons in the first place.

When I said gun owners are more likely to be harmed by their Gus, I meant as opposed to using the gun to protect themselves. Instead of an incident where the gun came in handy, it is more likely the the gun is used in a wrongful way or against oneself. I’m not sure where the tautology is
You can't know that before you contact them, though.
It’s also things like medical care getting screwed up. A tired surgeon is a horrible thing. And a surgeon can’t exactly go make up that lost hour easily..
Tech giants deciding what political ideas are delete-worthy, in the places where most people get their information and hear political arguments, is not the same as boycotting...

> In the digital age, we are nearing the point where an idea banished by Twitter, Facebook and Google all but vanishes from public discourse entirely, and that is only going to become more true as those companies grow even further. Whatever else is true, the implications of having those companies make lists of permitted and prohibited ideas are far more significant than when ordinary private companies do the same thing. [1]

Musk's kids don't. There's been some reporting on it. They go to 'Synthesis School'/'Ad Astra School'/'Astra Nova'. It seems vaguely like STEM Montessori in attitude from what I've read. Relatively small student:staff ratio, but doesn't appear to be anywhere close to a 1:1 ratio which is what tutoring is. I haven't seen any mentions of supplementary tutoring either.

(I can't think of any tech titans whose kids do receive exclusively tutoring either, instead of being sent to the local Palo Alto schools or private schools or something relatively middle-class.)
There are no queues in CSP, although you can make one by making a queue process.

In CSP, the sending side of a message is always logically simultaneous with the receiving side. So it's like Go's default channels where the sender and receiver both block until ready to transfer, and different from Python's multiprocessing and queue constructs, where the sender doesn't block.

CSP was used in Occam¹ on Transputers² in the 1980s. In Occam, it was normal to have a large number of tiny processes, some of them maybe only a few instructions (such as an implementation of a queue), and the thread switching and communication primitives were actual CPU instructions. The CPUs were joined with dedicated message communication links into large meshes, providing hardware parallelism with a very different model than today's SMP multi-core. A similar architecture exists today, XMOS³.

Go implements a model similar to CSP on today's SMP multi-core systems and OSes, emphasising many efficient, small threads running loops that communicate synchronously. Channels are unbuffered by default, making them like CSP. They can be made buffered, which adds a queue, as if a CSP queue process was added. Go is much less rigid than Occam, because you can also make new channels and spawn new threads efficiently, which are essential features in modern sofware.

Python multiprocessing doesn't provide efficient, small threads. You need larger thread units to get good performance out of it. It also emphasises queuing. So it's quite different from CSP.

Erlang implements a model like Occam and Go of many, efficient, small threads, but the messaging is always asynchronous. The communication is similar to Go with buffered channels.

I'm not sure what you're implying---that pg is seeing censorship where there isn't, or that he's naive for not intuiting that it's everywhere, all the time.

In my understanding, he's worrying that it's everywhere, all the time, in the self-censor sense.
“always” – the tech market is very young, the only recessions were 2000 and 2008, and those were during the ascent phase of the Kondratieff cycle of the Internet.
The Home Depot mobile app is pretty nice. It's significantly easier and faster to use, especially while in a store. Along with the quick location toggles/searches, it's worth checking out.
The web wasn't publicly available until 1992, which is why there was so much hype around it in the 90s. Both eBay and Amazon were started within two years of the web being opened as part of what started as the dot-com boom and became the dot-com bubble a few years later.

The time between the web opening and the end of the dot-com boom is about the same as the time between Bitcoin being announced and Ethereum going live, a period in which barely anyone used crypto and it had almost zero impact on the world. Even since then its wider impact is minute compared to what came from the dot-com boom.
There're import/export links to Sweden, Poland and Finland already. But they're connected through a converter rather than directly.
i agree. given those choices i would choose venezuala too. especially if we can get some concessions for democracy/corruption. it is close to our backyard.
My memory of qbasic on Win95 is hazy.

I seem to remember it being there, but it didn't include any of the built in examples or games. Maybe I tried programming things from the books and either couldn't get them to work, or they would run too fast to be playable.

Either way, it wasn't predominately featured and without knowing anyone with programming experience, I didn't have any one to ask.
Well, the point of MAD is that you can't defend against it
I've been hoping for exactly what you're describing for several years now.

Personally I want Xenomorph protagonist remake genre. Basically a genre where you take a movie and remake it with the protagonist being a xenomorph that the rest of the cast is only vaguely aware of as being a xenomorph.

So xenomorph renegade police detective movie where the detective is a xenomorph who gets kicked off the case, slams his badge onto the cheifs desk, skitters into a vent, and then proceeds to eat the bad guys. All while the other policemen comment about how xenomorph cop is reckless and plays by his own rules.
> wishful thinking and the comfort derived from there being a Grand Plan

You may not have meant this by your comment, but in general I find a related analysis common among atheists, that religious people believe what they do because it feels good. I find that's often wrong, and when generally applied condescending, as if atheists are simply more emotionally mature. On the contrary many religious people will tell you they believe what they do because it seems to them to be true.

> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

One might consider the existence of the universe extraordinary evidence (for the existence of God).

That said I think we can mostly agree that based on what we know so far, "aliens" is a fairly implausible explanation for any given unexplained phenomenon. Where ever you fall on that debate, I don't think it has anything to do with religious beliefs except as far as the biases of the people who conduct these psychology studies goes.
The release notes have a good overview: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/release-notes/#docker-de...

> Docker Desktop 4.6.0 gives macOS users the option of enabling a new experimental file sharing technology called VirtioFS. During testing VirtioFS has been shown to drastically reduce the time taken to sync changes between the host and VM, leading to substantial performance improvements. For more information, see VirtioFS.
I like the idea of Tailscale, because it gets us a little closer to the network where all devices are connected instead of 99% of them being behind NAT.

But I don't want to use them when they don't support email based logins. I did read their explanation[0], but I am not sure how it actually makes sense - if they don't want to have passwords, why not a client cert?

a dark banner that “we are gone to sleep”

when we we were brainstorming how best to accomplish the awareness to the sleep problem, we thought of completely powering off. But then it would be disservice to people in other time zones.

We then decided to do it based on the user-agent’s timezone/time.
> Shame you started charging for commercial entities.

Is that how it works for commercial license? Commercial license come with extras than what personal-use/free licenses have. You are whining that Docker is charging for commercial license that the company you works for is a commercial entity. Docker provides an platform and they are not free for commercial to use. Personal use is a drop in the bucket for them because personal users are not overwhelming their servers or pulling huge data daily. Commercial entities is a deluge in the bucket for Docker because entities use their servers more often than personal user do. Commercial uses consumes more data than personal use and you want Docker to accept that and eat the costs for commercial entities? If Docker does this, then Docker will not last a year without commercial pricing.

You, sir, have a strange ideology of this.
I swear by the native version of the GitHub app. It’s now unsupported but does everything I need and is stable. I prefer it over anything in app, personally.
I mean... assuming the Russians have anything that works is probably not a great assumption based on their performance in Ukraine.

But I think they provide overlapping, but different, roles. But missiles and torpedoes is why aircraft carriers travel in carrier groups that have defensive capabilities against torpedoes and missiles.
>Did you really, truly think that a product like Docker desktop would stay free forever?

You're mistaken here. Nobody has issues paying for software, however people have issues with being baited into a free product to then suddenly be charged after companies get locked in, which is a shitty business practice that needs to be discouraged.

Had Docker been transparent from the start that at some point in the future it will cost money, then that would have been fair since this would have been factored into business decisions.

You can't just hand out free candy and after people swallow it, you tell them they now have to pay up or throw it up, since you can't expect such good candy to be free. That's basically a scam.

Again, it's not about the money, it's about transparency.
fwiw, I happen to know that there are companies specializing in finding these sort of tutors today (well rounded in the arts and sciences, ideally multilingual, can regularly spend with kids for longer time periods, be a sort of 'role model'...). I don't know what it would cost to use them, but I can imagine...
It was already delayed several times because of EU fears of Kaliningrad and Russia response. Hopefully now our politicians have enough arguments to make it happen.

While at it, it may be good to stop the special permit for visa-free train from Russian mainland to Kaliningrad.
Which brings us back to why we should adopt permanent standard time instead of DST!

Timezones are an illusion. All you're actually changing when you change the clocks are people's cultural expectations, namely around when it's appropriate to arrive at work and school. Ergo, we should adopt the standard that has people start work and school later, not even earlier than they already do!
Yes, this paradigm makes a lot of sense in the present moment. In a hypothetical future where there is a long-lived AI agent, acting autonomously over multiple years or even decades it will become less and less seen as a tool used by a human person. But, no need to update policies until then.
I think a lot of answers to this question fall into the Nirvana Fallacy

> By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely implausible—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack any opposing idea because it is imperfect.

Since this is known at least subconsciously, most of these answers would be very unconvincing to anyone who isn't already a true believer in socialism. This is of course unavoidable as we do not have a working system of socialism but we do have many working but flawed systems of capitalism.

How do we fix this? I am not sure. Maybe we can get a few working models one day.
This is exactly backwards, IMO. Command-P is "print" on the Mac, and always has been; Command-O is open. This is the kind of thing that makes non-native apps stand out as poor platform citizens.
It makes perfect sense.

>You can make a AI generated work and claim it to be Human.

That's the point!

> It's interesting to consider how much scarier war could be right now, if we hadn't invented nuclear weapons... random missiles just dropping down from the sky for precision strikes, in countries whose borders have never even been penetrated.

Why are cruise missiles any less scary? They are indeed used in precision strikes across country borders, and can kill you just the same. The existence of nuclear weapons still allows some countries to use cruise missiles, as we see happen almost every year.
I make and sell handcrafted goods. I essentially split my costs into two categories, manufacturing and research.

The research budget covers the 'organic creative process' but isn't tied into the manufacturing costs. Once I've got the basic idea down, then I can start to purchase items to build X amount of something, and it's much easier to specify costs of a known item.
The credit card is a good idea. Thank you!

Honestly, I think I’m just a bad time estimator. It’s definitely something I miss from working together with people — I know I’m a bad time estimator and I can ask for help. Maybe this is just a “learning to work solo” thing.
I think you hit on the key part of conspiracy thinking. It doesn't seem like a coincidence that many of the most conspiracy minded are also extremely religious, in the US anyway. I don't know anything about conspiracy thinking in the context of Islam or Hinduism, for example.

It seems like the tendency to accept a higher power in control of your life and the world leads to believing in other earthly powers being able to exert vast control over the world.
The people of Russia absolutely share culpability for the actions of their government. Without a shooting war, the only people who can stop the actions of the Russian government are the Russian people. Every international company that amplifies this message nudges them forward to do so.

Putin is not going to stop because someone confiscated his yacht. Donating to the Red Cross while coddling the Russian People sends a clear message that Putin should feel free to do what he pleases and the "West" will pay to clean up the aftermath.
Well in theory the RIM-174 (SM-6) has some limited ability to intercept hypersonic glide weapons. Although obviously that's never been tested.

There are counters to hypersonic glide weapons beyond shooting them down. If you can detect it early enough then the target ship can change course and try to evade. The sensors on those missiles have very limited field of view so if it's not receiving a real time target track data link for course correction then it can be possibly be dodged (depending on how many are incoming, weather, and other factors). Even if the target can't evade, a bit of advance warning would at least allow for cueing EW countermeasures.
I guess I should have said "...thus far".

> We don't use aggregators like Yodlee or Plaid ... users never share their brokerage auth credentials with us, and your data doesn't get pushed to any of our servers.

Could you clarify how you are doing this? I've found the most painful and worrying part of working with any cloud / SaaS financial aggregator service (Mint, YNAB etc) was how they do auth with financial provider(s) ... and if it works at all. Oftentimes I find it easier to export the data to Excel or Quicken format and import into the tool.

It's worth taking a look at the effective federal funds rate over time, which clearly shows how low it's been recently: https://www.macrotrends.net/2015/fed-funds-rate-historical-c...
(I wrote the article.) You're not that unusual, we just haven’t had time to address that use case directly yet. I expect an ecosystem of MSPs may arise to offer physical boxes, or some such thing, since the tailscale client is open source. (Or you could buy a Synology with tailscale on it I suppose!)

Many companies just run tailscale in a VM to replace their physical VPN concentrator boxes.
Are we “springing forward” into a Y2K-class nightmare?
Bellingcat has been pretty reliable but their investigations around the chemical attacks were very... flawed. It happened for sure, but their analysis of how the events unfolded on the ground was so lacking (not their fault, OSINT can only get you so far in a chemical attack) that imo they probably should've just not published their initial articles. Doesn't mean they can't be right on the OPCW controversy, but it's still something to keep in mind

But in any case, while yes there is a dispute around who did it... Russia was never claimed to be the responsible by anyone. The two options are either the syrian government or the rebels, and that's true for all the chemical attacks.

So the GP was completely wrong, Russia did not use chemical warfare in syria!
> Do you really need a total ordering of messages instead of the partial ordering that separate queues could give you?

If the consequences of any given event may impact the processing of any subsequent event, then yes. For many ordinary systems this constraint holds true.
> After many years of service making it hard to remove...

Would you rather they go under as a company, due to how badly their attempts at monetizing containers have failed in the past and then have Docker Desktop not be maintained at all and have Docker as a whole take a noticeable hit?

> ...and a non negligible cost.

I'd say that perhaps using either Docker with the CLI, IDE integrations/plugins or using Rancher Desktop (https://rancherdesktop.io/) are more cost effective alternatives in that case.
I'm a little confused how the PropelAuth concepts map to typical B2B scenarios.

For example, say Alice works for Acme, and she signs up for Jira. She is now the admin, so puts the credit card in to upgrade the account, and then invites her colleagues.

Is Acme an "organization" in terms of PropelAuth? Organizations sound looser and more user defined, almost more like a Gmail group of users than a "company".
Running a Tailscale POC now.

Paranoid firewalls blocking NAT traversal are a pain. I am running a private DERP relay to get around public relay congestion. I also have a subnet relay running - I am watching which solution will be long-term more performant and reliable.

Their ACLs definitely take some getting used to but I think I have things about where I want them.

Surprising issue - conflicting address ranges between home users and corporate network prevent subnet relays from working seamlessly.

Centralized logging would be a cash-worthy feature.

Adoption by the team is a bit slow, most people are still using SSH tunnels despite the clumsy nature.
I wonder if we'll just end up running jet engines on biodiesel for long-haul flights where batteries aren't viable.
i find electron-based editors to be subpar compared to an IDE like intellij idea. if nova's target is a full blown IDE like idea then for sure there's a market.
> Why would the election, that happened in Nov and was only effective the following year, matter for that year's data?

As I mentioned, likely because it was a data point that crossed city, county, and state lines. I can't think of another data point that provides that type of insight across such a broad swath of the population at a specific point in time. If you have some, please provide, it would make for a richer data set.

> The best thing would likely be to look at a matrix of policies for each state to identify potential impact from a specific policy over time and in combination with the other factors.

I have a thought that comes up every time the "super-intelligent AI" discussion appears: Maybe there are decreasing returns to increasing smartitude.

As a weak form of argument, being three standard deviations better than the average dude is easy and obvious. Being three more is much harder and doesn't produce the same obvious difference.

As a stronger form of the argument, Steven Jay Gould had an old essay about a similar idea, in baseball players. In the old days, baseball players were a normal distribution roughly similar to the average population. With modern selection and training, players are piled up against a sort of semi-hard limit at the upper end.
>Russia's claims amount to little more than a rejection of self-determination for any state in its determined sphere of influence.

This is absolutely correct

As in our personal lives, This is an example that law and society only exist only as long as they are more tolerable than the alternative.

Even for rational actors, at some point the cost of abiding the social contract is greater than the cost to break it, and becoming an outlaw.
If you want assurances about the quality of software you're using, pay for a support contract. You can't expect assurances like that on something you got for free.
The official business plan for WorldCoin is just so bizarre that it's easier to believe conspiratorial explanations -- e.g. that its primary goal is to collect biometric data for some malign purpose, and the cryptocurrency is a post-hoc justification.

Can the people that are being issued the WorldCoin cryptocurrency even use it in any practical terms? (The token with that name on CoinMarketCap is unrelated.) Is there even any way to verify that it's being issued?
You can't really extrapolate being alone in the universe from "aliens aren't visiting us." The fact that we exist at all, especially as a random occurrence of events, would suggest it's not that bizarre of an event. If we were single celled organisms having this conversation, then yeah, life outside of earth would seem more unlikely.

But we have 4.543 billion years worth of evidence showing that life REALLY likes to live. To get from a single celled organism to me typing to you over the internet tells me there's probably something universal to this process.

To me it's a lot more "Main Character Syndrome" to suggest we are wholly unique and alone in the universe. We are the special chosen species that made it out of an infinite number of probabilities. Sounds insane.
