For me, a good mushroom trip plus a good dose of ket (about 3 hours in) will, in a reliable manner, give me a powerful and mind blowing spiritual experience.

Good luck trying to extract any words to describe it. Not that it can’t be done, but when you have a glimpse of more profound realities, who would expect it to be easy to articulate or execute upon?

But, in combination with weeks and months of effortful meditation and writing, outcomes can be had:

HDMI is a pretty crazy protocol. CEC, HDMI, and then on top of that a dedicated hot plug detect? Is all this really needed? Can't I2C do everything?

They could use a 1M pull down on SDA, and pull it up at the display side instead of the host side, and have that be hot plug detect, and then just use i2c for control as well.

"short term bottom line" is a comically absurd way to describe Amazon, which has been growing consistently for 25 years.
And even outside the biological details, without cooperation from the Chinese government and the lab in question it seems any investigation into alternate explanations will be nearly unfalsifiable. From the article:

>But as COVID-19 rampaged across the globe, the Chinese government’s commitment to transparency turned out to be limited. It has refused to share raw data from early patient cases, or participate in any further international efforts to investigate the virus’s origin...And in September 2019, three months before the officially recognized start of the pandemic, the Wuhan Institute of Virology took down its database of some 22,000 virus samples and sequences, refusing to restore it despite international requests.
I hadn’t heard of this, cool that it exists. How many people work on it and use it? I see one maintainer on GitHub making all the issues and PRs. But I could be mistaken.

True. But stores like Target also let you see inventory in physical stores, so it's easier to purchase an item you know is coming from a Target store/warehouse than a 3rd party.

> Labor cost to maintain is far more than the service cost for a small startup

This is the common wisdom which is correct in many cases, but not all.

If you have a decent systems/infrastructure person in your startup, the incremental cost of running a lot of these kinds of services is effectively zero. If you are bootstrapped, this can be financially significant.

Most startups do not need a decent infra person on day one, and no one would recommend hiring one for this purpose. But if someone on the team has the skills, it can make a ton of sense to leverage them.

I think it's good to help people obtain these skills which add value to (or at least save money for) their project, and correspondingly enable more people to start up in the first place.

Replace “cost” with “cost share” I think would help.

But since there’s a hard limit on the number of passengers, it’s appropriate to make the division showing a best case scenario of gallons per passenger-mile, or in the terms of Bitcoin, kWh per transaction.

If the number of passengers or transactions was unbounded, we could still say there’s a weighted average ROI in terms of passenger-miles or transactions carried on the bus / that were actually carried on the bus/block.

Note that while the only utility of the bus is to carry passengers, blocks also distribute newly minted coins which is useful on its own right / even if the block is empty.

The main point is that the energy usage is obscene not because it has to be, but because the simple economic function driven by the mechanics of the lottery — it must always balance the block reward against cost to participate in the lottery in a PoW system.

Hm, interesting. I've had surprising fraudulent charges on a WF card just a few days ago. They texted and emailed me, but I had to call them myself (not that I would've trusted a call, I even wondered for a minute if SMS was a fraud attempt).

The issue is, it was a card that I keep only because it's the oldest card I have, that I don't really ever pull out of my wallet anymore. I'm not familiar with the underground stuff but I suppose stolen CC numbers are typically sold reasonably fast (months, not years) and used while they're still fresh? If that's the case, while two random anecdotal data points don't prove anything, I start to wonder if it's possible that WF was recently compromised.

>you only need a sliver of spare capacity

If there was spare capacity, but there doesn't seem to be much at all. 1 in 10 inter-country wheat shipments will be Ukrainian, and it's about 1 in 7 for corn, probably other crops as well. Repurposing that shipping capacity isn't easy either, from a logistics standpoint. It can take up to a month just for a ship to cross the Pacific, before any other route complexities. It doesn't help that there's over 100 such cargo ships tied up in Ukrainian ports either, a decent proportion of which will be the subset of cargo ships fitted out for bulk grain transport.

The last few years have already shown us how delicate the global logistics & supply chains are. It doesn't take much to stretch them near to the breaking point, and we're already close to that point.
Yeah...I was thinking ships from India and trucks from the east for example.

Disclaimer: I think the virus leaked from a lab because scientists are usually more stupid and reckless than what their funders think they are, so maybe I'm insane and you shouldn't listen to me because I can affect your mental health. Also what I will write may be very dangerous misinformation so be careful because if you keep reading you consent to being misinformed. This writing is known by the state of California to cause cancer.

There's two objectives of this type of research. One is that after you have the new virus you can try different drugs on it, so that if gets out you can rapidly control it. Usually the drugs you try are ones that the company you work for sell or have a patent for. I think creating a pathogen and then testing how you can cure it with stuff that you can sell for a big profit creates a conflict of interest if it's also your responsibility to be sure it's not released, but apparently I'm pretty alone in this conspiranoic belief.

The other objective is creating a bioweapon, or getting ready for one. The US allegedly withdrew from researching bioweapons in an offensive manner but offensive and defensive research are very similar in that field because you speculate what viruses your alleged adversaries have and then recreate them to try the vaccines against them.

No. Amazon doesn't commingle inventory when... the manufacturer doesn't sell through any other channels, so there is no one to commingle with.
Who cares? I can't audit the Signal servers. Signal can't realistically be completely sure the servers weren't tampered with - they're not funded to run bomb proof, spy proof, supply-chain secure data centers.

This is why we have E2E messaging and we accept the risk profile that entails - there is no better solution.
They shouldn't, though they have few choices. They don't want to admit they chose the wrong tools for the problems, and can we disagree with them .. generally.

Thank you for elaborating! Regarding your last question, I never had the clarity of mind to arrive at such a simple question that encapsulates universal wellbeing and freedom.

Do you think it's okay to do good to someone against their will?

Assuming the mechanism was there to objectively validate what is good, I'd say yes. People come into existence, and much of their experience is against their will. So what's a little more helplessness, especially in the pursuit of their own wellbeing.

Here's my reckless guess: These matrices are manufactured in a continuous strip and cropped at the appropriate length, then the interface is attached to the cells and it's sealed in its case. It would allow the factory to produce varying sizes of display.

> it is certainly not an approach that scales

If there's demand for their service I don't see why it wouldn't scale. Get more phones, more SIM cards, and have automation around all this infrastructure to automate away as much of the stuff as possible.

> Meta/Instagram have multiple teams dedicated to preventing this type of scraping

That's great but ultimately they still have a weakness: they want people to be able to see their stuff - at least some of it - without logging in. As long as you can either simulate a normal device perfectly, or even better, use real devices or virtualize them, there isn't much that Facebook can do without impacting legitimate usage which they don't want.
I don't really enjoy roundabouts, but I like the idea of a non-blocking (or less-blocking) traffic network.

Head-of-line blocking, where left turns can block through traffic or through traffic can block a left turn lane, is a particularly irritating feature of traditional intersections.

> This could not affect performance much, because pcie speed far surpass speed of best ssd/nvme.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.

I would think there could still be some speed advantage if the GPU does not have to share storage with CPU, coordinate access, etc.

> As for size I'm not sure, because gpu hardware is too special for deal with filesystems, so I think, there will be special fs. Also possible that this part of disk system will be read only for gpu (all writes and maintenance will do host cpu), to simplify gpu software part.

That was sort of what I meant. In that scenario, a game would take up less space in the "ordinary" filesystem, i.e. storage of the main system - because part of the game data would be moved to GPU storage instead. Hence appear to be smaller: If you added the space taken up in main storage and GPU storage back together, you'd arrive back at the old size. It's more a sleight of hand, not an actual reduction in size.
Moves don't require any runtime checks in Rust to my knowledge. Moves do involve some compile time analysis to make sure you aren't accessing a value that has been moved, maybe that is what you are thinking of?

In Rust, moves are always a simple memcpy from one place to another, that's it! With non `Copy` types this destroys the original value which is why the compiler makes sure you don't access it after it's moved.

There is also `Clone` which is generally a deep copy of everything, but this also doesn't involve any runtime checks as long as you aren't using reference counted pointers or something.

There are bounds checks when indexing into vectors and whatnot though, but non checked methods are available.

I'm surprised by the number of "is AGI even possible" comments here and would love to hear more.

I personally think AGI is far off, but always assumed it was an inevitability.

Obviously, humans are sentient with GI, and various other animals range from close-ish to humans to not-even-close but still orders of magnitude more than any machine.

Ie. GI is a real thing, in the real world. It's not time travel, immortality, etc.

I certainly understand the religious perspective. If you believe humans/life is special, created by some higher power, and that the created cannot create, then AGI is not possible. But, given the number of "is AGI possible?" comments I assume not all are religious based (HN doesn't seem to a highly religious cohort to me).

What are the common secular arguments against AGI?

Are people simply doubting the more narrow view that AGI is possible via ML implemented on existing computing technology? Or the idea in general?

While the article does focus on current ML trajectory and "digital" solutions, its core position is mostly focused on a "new approach" and AI creating AGI.

I'd consider a scenario where highly advanced but non-sentient ML algorithms figure out to devise a new technology (be that digital or analog, inorganic or organic) that leads to AGI as an outcome that is consistent with this article.

Is that viable in 20 years time? No idea, but given an infinite timescale it certainly seems more possible than not to me given that we all already exist as blackbox MVPs that just haven't been reverse engineered yet.
what information is actually being asked of people on incoming calls these days? I never seem to get any of these calls, but banks and credit cards etc. by now should be clued in enough to this stuff that when they actually call a customer, they do nothing more than alert that customer to proper channels they should initiate and follow to resolve the issue.
I believe it's far more likely that the US government does like signal is the same reason as Tor. It's not about data collection (though technically possible it requires essentially destroying the trust in the service to achieve), it's about providing a tool useful for foreign dissidents and regime change that aligns to US interests.

Signal and Tor are statecraft and espionage tools not surveillance honeypots (though they both could become the latter through extreme means). This value far outweighs the ability to gather even more data when everyone is already surrendering huge amounts anyway.
