An issue with the Kurtzweilian "singularity" is that he didn't come up with the term - it was from a casual conversation of John von Neumann:

"... the accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue"

It's always bugged me a little that it isn't very defined. Personally I think of it as the point where robots can make better robots without needing humans.
but adding .zip extension doesn't make it friendly as an image format. I would never ever ever ever want to put <img src="imagename.zip"> into code any where. So if you're making a new image type that doesn't fit in a known image container, then create a new MIME type.
Paying taxes is not voluntary. Paying taxes is not compassionate.

If you don't pay them, you end up with your stuff taken away and yourself in prison.

Since it's not voluntary, it should be reserved for things that are necessary for survival, not propping up luxury beliefs.
Just like the majority of things in life, moderation is the important part. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teen, and took adderall to deal with it and get through school. In my 30s, I continue with taking it in reasonable doses, with breaks occasionally. It helps me focus when I want, and I have no known side effects except for a lack of appetite after taking it. 10mg still gives me the same effect as it did when I was a kid. Amphetamines are useful when applied correctly in the correct dosages. Like the majority of drugs out there. Step aside doctors, let the pharmacists do their jobs.

I'm undergraduate student studying Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. I have > 2 years of experience working with deep learning/data science, mainly on the research side, but I'm open to applied/engineering jobs. Currently, I'm working as a research assistant doing NLP at the data management group at my school. I'm interested for a software/data science/research/AI internship for Fall 2022. Contact me if there is a position which I might be a good fit for.
America has had a stimulant drug friendly culture for the last hundred years. Benzedrine from the 1930s to the late 1960s. Cocaine in the 70s and 80s. Ritalin, Dexedrine, Adderall, and clandestinely produced methamphetamine from the 1990s to now. Caffeine and nicotine.

America runs on stimulants.

“Neighborhood Character” Threatens Our Cities [video]
Post-soviet sphere has plenty of examples of former SU-aligned countries that have since pivoted towards EU and have built democratic, free, and prosperous independent states, or are well on their way of building one. Even Ukraine was a recent example of being on such path, if it wasn’t for the malign efforts of, you guessed it, Russia.

No state is perfect, and one can always find this or that to pick at, but most of democratic ones have not unleashed armies of state-employed goons on their own people to keep them from speaking up.

You should work on your boot-licking addiction (and I am telling you that as a Soviet-born russian-speaking citizen of one of the former republics).
> Sorta like, if someone believes that Elvis is secretly a lizard-man who is now pretending to be President Biden, then that could be responded to in simple, polite terms that aren't immediately condescending.

You JUST did the exact thing I am talking about. You equated having an incorrect understanding of science with believing Biden is a lizard man Elvis.

You aren't conducting science, explaining science, or even challenging incorrect scientific beliefs. You are using science as a bludgeon to demean people you don't agree with.

It is OK to be wrong and it is OK to entertain incorrect ideas. These are critical parts of learning. It is also OK to say when things are wrong. Mocking people for being wrong is alienating and counter productive.

I think I agree with you, but we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss that this style of game definitely appeals to a large audience. After all, games don't need to be super complex to be enjoyable. As long as they nail a single gameplay mechanic, it's fine if they stick to it and polish it over time. From what I've heard/read, ER is the best Soulslike ever, and that deserves praise on its own.
In other words, you know very little, if not, nothing, about construction. Is that correct?
It’s funny how everyone in here pretends to not care about status, while not realizing that you’re just playing a different status game.

I happen to enjoy playing status games and I’m fairly good at it. Even though I’m never the prettiest, wealthiest, strongest or most intelligent guy in the room, I always seem to be able to socially engineer myself to the alpha group status, regardless of what kind of social group it is.

Status games are mostly about how people perceive you and how you can manipulate it in order to belong. It reminds me of this paradox: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Do you have a more plausible explanation than the algorithm is selecting for "harmful to parent corp revenue" but they won't admit it outright?

There are no records that capital punishment was actually ever delivered after the establishment of courts as it required many strict conditions. Regardless, that’s not murder but capital punishment for a certain offense.
> But I don't think I'll convince you to see it my way, so I'll drop this.

You managed to have your say, which was just as snide as hers, so now I'll have mine.

> To be clear, this is a book extract, not something she wrote for the guardian, but for someone who picked up her book to read.

If this has a relevance, I fail to see it.

> She says many of you. Why are you including yourself in the many, if you already knew what she has to say?

That makes no sense.

a) I did not include myself in the many.

b) I also made no indication that I had. You can always quote me if you wish but as I only wrote two sentences, one of which was a parody of her words, I think that's going to be difficult for you.

c) I didn't know what she has to say, I made reference to the sneering, the delivery, not the content.

> Why are you so upset

I'm not upset, at least, not by her words.

> by a comedian

I'm yet to see her tell a funny joke but each to their own.

> writing about her experiences that you have to engage with it at all?

I was engaging with you. Are you telling me how to spend my time, on a forum, and implying that I shouldn't have my say, while having your say, on a forum?

What are you on about?

> I just don't see a sneer.

It’s just a sad fact that I have to waste my time pointing it out to you, repeatedly. <- Is that not a sneer? I can tell you that it is.

> I just took a bit and reread the while thing. What I read is frustration, not superiority.

I'd feel better if you'd taken the time to read my comment properly and not infer things from it that were only the product of your imagination.

> I don't think she's looking down on folks who haven't had her struggles. I think she wants people to understand them, perhaps so they can be more understanding to autistic folks in their lives.

Like her "jokes", her attempts to provoke understanding look like the complete opposite of what I'd expect. I mean, it's just so draining for her to have to spend time explaining herself, in her own words, in her own book. How does she do it? Such a hero.

> But I don't think I'll convince you to see it my way, so I'll drop this.

Please do.

It's worth adding that lossless JXL can be faster and compress better than QOI (at the same time == Pareto improvement). It basically obsoletes QOI.

> But the highly politicized nature of the U.S. Supreme Court makes the process more subjective than is necessary. For the most part, High Courts in other countries aren't discovering new rights in statutes and Constitutional provisions written decades or hundreds of years ago.

Most countries have something closer to a civil law as opposed to common law basic system; and most of the ones that have a common law system also have parliamentary sovereignty as part of their Constitutional order, whether or not they have an actual written Constitution; this doesn't really change the basic subjectivity of legal decisionmaking, but the combination of a common law tradition which frames interpretation of the Constitution and the absence of parliamentary sovereignty gives the US Supreme Court more scope than most high courts have to start with, and more scope naturally means more room for subjectivity to manifest.
Minimodem is better. It uses standard protocols and is portable.
> What's status for? Is it going to make you happy?

Right, my takeaway was that status seeking is something you can use to try to achieve your personal goals, if you think conscientiously about it. It reminds me of the idea in the book Atomic Habits of first figuring out an identity, a kind of person you want to be, then identifying behaviors that would make you that kind of person, and then developing habits that reinforce those behaviors. Starting with identity works because the way we see ourselves is a powerful determinant of our behavior.

For me, I think the thing I would like to be high status in is "being useful to society". Playing that status game may not make me happy, but if it succeeded in making me useful, I think that would be a good outcome.
Almost exactly what I was going to say. Nothing of interest here, gambler gambles with the most effective gambling vehicle of this generation.
He wasn't the main artistic voice of the game, and I don't care about what people say or what they intend. Just because someone--who didn't write a line of code, create a pixel of art, or make a wave form of sound that was used in the game--says something, doesn't mean it's true.

I care about judging the actual work. It doesn't matter what he thinks. The reality is that there's nothing of BOTW in Elden Ring.
Same reason why Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are interesting, I suppose.

Anyway, it's refreshing to read a story with loser-bias for a change, as opposed to survivor-bias which we get here by the dozens.
Also keeping in mind, Vitalik has always loved Bitcoin he just doesn't care for the maximalist culture so much. Vitalik created Ethereum after raking in tons of Bitcoin, loving the idea but choosing to take it in another direction with the smart contracting that had been disabled within the Bitcoin code.

The nfl is staggeringly profitable and can cover its expenses painlessly. “Art” isn’t and is thus way more worthy for govt support. What they do get is way less than 850m times damn near the number of nfl or major sports teams. Bread and circuses I guess with expensive bread.
People literally are priced out of macs. Nothing you say changes that fact.

> About the final point—are Macs really "high cost"?

There are zero low cost macs, while other low cost computers are abundant.

> If a Mac is $2100 instead of $700, that's only a few hundred dollars more per year, or $20-30 a month.

Your concept of what “average people” can afford is very convenient for your argument because you made it up. To most people a product that is $1400 more expensive is considered much, much more expensive. The fact that you have to invent a payment plan to support your argument says a lot.

I like macs, they are nice. But they are high priced and expensive. They can be both worth the extra money while also being too high priced for a huge number of average people.
This is just gambling, no?
I am curious as well, I've been searching all morning and can't find anything

I agree with this - its a very good approach generally to 'meet in the middle' during a conflict, but that becomes very hard when one side is scientific and another is pure outright lies, wishful thinking, fears and generally mostly negative emotions which seemingly many adults have issues managing.

Same would go say for Ukraine invasion - from moderate 'alternative truth' folks weakly defending russian invasion as 'forced by the west'. I would require so much mental gymnastics to accept this as some middle ground it would break my proverbial mental neck.

Entire pillars of progress of what mankind achieved till 21st century included need to be abandoned to find middle ground in such cases. Just because some folks can't handle their emotional side of their being which can be very easily used to steer them (well anybody in such situation) as needed.

You want to have productive discussion with somebody like me? Let's bring out the facts, proven, peer-reviewed if possible. There is no 'alternative truth', just alternatives to truth.
I appreciate how the author captures the mindset involved in this kind of trading. I would cash out if I had 6,000% gains, but that same mindset is what prevents me from getting 6,000% gains in the first place, because I’d never go all-in on a risky trade.

Then again, that mindset also prevents me from losing all my money.
You’re not generally wrong but I think it’s worth keeping in mind that this is going to depend on a combination of all sorts of factors in your personal health profile and the dosage you’ve been taking.

It’s not just the addiction that is problematic. It’s the long-term consequences of the chronic side effects. We all know you need to sleep and to eat. This medication makes it harder to do both of those activities if not managed properly and thoroughly. Combine a failure to do that with long-term usage (abuse) and you've got a recipe for permanent damage on your hands that can cyclically reinforce that dependence.

Here’s an anecdote. I did a group project with a guy in college who I got to talking with about it. He had one of these nightmare stories. He said he had to stop taking it because he was absolutely strung out. I asked him about his dosage and he told me he had been taking 80mg XR/day. I was unaware they even made dosages that high. He said that he didn’t realize it at the time but he just kept chasing the initial feeling (seems he didn’t understand the concept of tolerance), and his doctor responded by repeatedly titrating up his dosage. He was at that max dosage for about a year and a half. He said when he stopped he went through a months long phase of extreme depression and physical discomfort like he has never experienced in his life before. He shared some pretty brutal stuff with me. He said that it had been a year and he still didn’t feel like his old self. He said it was like his attention span was even shorter than before the medication and at this point he wasn’t sure if it would ever be the same.

The tweet is certainly bad taste and something that would be appalling if said out loud, however, this seems like a bit over-the-top judicial response to tweets.

Isn’t stuff like this why the ‘report’ function exists? Or couldn’t the gov just request a takedown / account suspension? Or the social pressure of responses to the tweet would create enough backlash…?

This just seems like an archaic way to patrol social media, which is basically a nebulous void.

On the other hand, I guess if you really need a lot more free public involvement in community service and picking up litter, then this law is the answer…

I promise you that the man on the street doesn't consider this acceptable. That so many in tech believe it is fills me with despair. Our industry isn't alone in having scalability problems, but we do stand alone in the belief that it's then fine to ignore the customer.
If you want to see some really impressive and wild, even stunning Cyclopean ruins check out Sacsayhuamán:

For my money, the mystery of how huge monoliths were manipulated and moved around was solved by Wally Wallington, who has used the methods he discovered to build "a concrete Stonehenge-like structure using only materials and techniques that do not rely on any modern machine-powered technology."

At work I have a multi-petabyte cluster in MongoDB Atlas with no issues. The managed service is fantastic; I'm going to need some citations on how it degrades after a few terabytes.

This is massively tangential, but stick with me. The book King Kong Theory (King Kong Théorie en francés), has a really interesting chapter about Minitel and how people were using it in the 1980s for prostitution. It's a small part of an amazing feminist text, and as a lifelong Francophile and Minitel fan it was eye opening. I highly suggest the book to anyone.
It's safe to say that most engineers with a 401K and 20+ years experience gained and lost a lot more than $150K in a day several times in the last few years. This is extremely uninteresting.
