I started reading the article assuming it was an April fool's joke. After a bit into it, I thought it was not a joke. When the self-deprecation began, I was again convinced it was a joke - but at the end of the article, I think this is not a joke. It's a rather good take on why Bitcoin maximalism is what it is.

Some degree of ETH-maximalism will be required in the future given the sheer number of pretender L-1 blockchains snapping at ETH's heels. Writing about BTC-maximalism sets the foundation for that culture.
I see, probably the person I got this info from encountered an overzealous seller. Which is not unusual, Lidl in Poland requires ID to but non-alcoholic beer. Literally nobody else does that.

Someone's reported this as https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-16047. The bug is that A11 and older processors don't have a CAS instruction, and LLVM's lowering accidentally added xzr to the set of "valid registers" for the replacement instruction sequence. So if you're seeing crashes in MetadataAllocator in iOS 15.4, this is probably going to fix it for you.

Which means the next generation would be even smaller and so on and so forth until at one point the thing is reduced to a point where it is no longer sustaining the spiral.

Let's say I want to trade a large amount of $TICKER.

Sometimes, just sending a buy order is not ideal as it might drive prices up.

So you start calling brookers and hope they help you by finding other folks who want to sell large amounts of $TICKER. They also might spread orders over a larger time frame.

That's just an example, but overall the chat is used to negotiate assets. Buying and selling stuff is often a very manually coordinated process.
To be fair, there are problems that look easy at the first sight, but turn out surprisingly difficult -- and working with time is almost always one of those problems.

water exists, and you can see it, GI exists by definition and you cannot see it, there are millions of arguments as to what GI is and you cannot point to some GI and have everyone agree yes, that is GI but we just differ on what it is made of, even in ancient times you could point to water and say that is water and everyone who argued about the origins of water would still agree with you, yes that is water.

So how do you presume to make something when no one agrees what that thing is?
Yes, but every host who has a wonky, round kitchen table made from plastic checks those. So it does not help much.

I used two European sites, since my comparison was obviously for delivery to somewhere in Europe (Denmark, in my case).
It also misses the point of local tribe mentality deeply rooted in all of our brains.

We care about our closer relations far more than some other far away ones.

Therefore we are far more empathetic towards family and friends, than neighbours, than neighbouring nation, than country on the other side of the world you didn't know was there.

Me giving $100 to neighbour is different to $100 to malaria fighting foundation.

“Crime soared” is false. Some crimes went up, some crimes went down. The overall rates are very low so small changes make big percentages.
Exactly! And it is also important to check for noise especially in recent reviews (which AirBnB does not let you find easily) to avoid staying next to a construction site.
In the UK it does. If you are speeding because you are an appropriately trained person performing emergency response duties then it's not illegal.
A good RF engineer who specializes in WiFi deployment can absolutely design a solid environment. For the best deployments they're involved during the building design process to identify the general area where access points will be needed based on the expected building occupancy (and just as important, how people will be distributed in the building). Near the end of construction they'll be on-site to take reading and fine-tune the placement. After construction ends they'll often be on-site several times to take additional readings and adjust power levels (although large companies may have people who can take the readings so the engineer doesn't have to come on site to make updates).

And honestly, even most conference facilities are able to provide acceptable WiFi for attendees. --I've participated in meetings where 100 people would be in one room and we all had decent connections.

WiFi has it's problems in environments where the access point owners won't cooperate (home environments), but it's much better than it used to be.
Hotels suck anyway. I can't imagine why anyone would want to pass through a reception and a bunch of corridors just to arrive "home", at a small room with bad furniture, and it isn't even cheap.

It might make sense if you just need a place to crash after a long day of traveling, but it's not a way to live.
White working class boys in the UK are amongst the least likely to go to university in the UK, they don't have a privilege for being white.

I think terms like white privilege drive resentment and are divisive.

This is so true. I think this project feels like breathe of fresh air and also forced you to think different on how to go about building serverless stuff.

Someone mentioned about carbon footprint of increase due to containerization and the kubernetes culture during discussion about dagger [1]. Cloud cost, cloud waste and climate impact of current cloud computing setups are some biggest problem of this decade that are often ignored. I think webassembly and frameworks like these are the answer to that problem.

It's literally the stance of my government, we literally have a UN sub-org here called MINURSO (The United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara), my government proposed the referendum, my government allowed MINURSO in , my gov protects them, the so called Sahrawi gov are in Algeria and its prominent members spent all their lives working as ambassadors in other countries and they are refusing to have the referendum.

It is a big issue when you talk about something and defend it strongly with no clue.

PS: Morocco in the 60s had many issues in reality, power struggle between the monarchy and parties, 3 army coups that failed, separating in Rif and Sahara by those who fought colonizers and seeing themselves not getting any power. Sahara was an issue like the many other issues, it only lasted because of support by the Eastern Block. Today, in reality, the struggle ended.

Ask HN: Good, lightweight 2D animation engines for Android/iOS
What are our options if we want to include interactive animations in our app and want them to be as lightweight as possible. Rive seems like one option. What are other ones? We'd want something that allows for skeletal animation, but a physics engine is not essential (Unity and Blender seem like overkill.) Thank you!
They can do that because of regulation, not intent.

It is more like this, person A is in a hurry and is allowed to drive over the speed limit because person A is good person, but person B, who also is in a hurry, is a scumbag and therefore person B is not allowed to drive over the speed limit. It is very similar to how woke culture works.
Certifications are the current situation for first world countries but it takes time to get them adopted everywhere. And if you have lead paint or pipes in your house, or if you have bought some Chinese plates with beautiful colors, who will tell you that some pigments may leak into your food.

There is the question of trust of the measurement where they will just sell you an approval stamp for 100$.

There is also the problem that some actors have incentives to cheat, like feeding insects to your salmon, and feeding the insects from literal garbage that may get contaminated by electronic components in the dumpster. Or maybe the specific salmon just ate a ball of mercury but was not selected for testing.

A generic tool, that can analyze your immediate environment without having anyone else involved is empowering and can catch a wide variety of problems that you can track further if necessary; feels like a freebie offered by Science. Although it will still need some years of work to make it as sensitive as they show it in Science-Fiction.

Humans have not evolved alongside everything we extracted from the ground since the industrial revolution. It's like a new pair of eyes that would help you avoid a bad apple or smelly fish.

If we could also get a cheap and easy to use Raman spectrometer to complete the XRF analyser it would also be a great addition.

With a binary name of `baobab`. I always wondered, what the mnemonic here was/is.
that s not what real estate agents do here. but it might work with some kind of "local agents" that arrange all things for you before and after , making the moving easy and seamless. there are relocation experts in many major cities, they all have differnt websites and all. someone should unite them under a gig platform (this was actually an idea for a website i made some time ago)
100% agree.. Home ownership sort of sucks in some ways..

I like to go home and not worry about the plumbing, or grass, or if the rain was going to impact the solar panels.

Now when I owned my first place, I spent my weekends putting in new floors. I painted every room, and helped redo the plumbing. Months of lost weekends, and about 15k...

So when we sold I was rather happy. We got 30k over what we paid. Then the agent after 2 days work took his 17k slice off the price. And so now that 30k was down to 13. So weeks and months of work and net profit - 2k.
I first read this as an April fools joke and honestly it got me good that it wasn't.

As someone who works in AI and multi-modal models, our modern "AI" are just tools. Yes models can get designed by other models, and yes some of these models (Bert and co) have been getting more general over the recent years. But to say that we are close to AGI is like saying that you are close to a moon landing when you've only started jumping - it's ridiculous.

We'd all be better off if we spent less time hyping it up and theorising on what it could mean for human society. And yes I do understand the paperclip argument but I don't buy it.
"Well that's just because the manufacturer just doesn't write one, not because of some intrinsic factor of FOSS"

Linux wants to force the manufactors to open source their drivers by intentionally changing the ABI, which makes it harder to write a driver as a binary blob once.

I want open source drivers. But I am not sure this is the right way to get them.
Hardware makers feel forced to protect their trade secrets, this is the current buisness reality. Open hardware the rare exception.

Reality also is, I gave up with linux on many machines because of bad drivers. With more stable drivers avaiable, even if proprietary, I would have been able to convince many more people of linux as well as getting rid of windows on my laptops.

And more people using linux on a daily basis, means more people exposed to the idea of software freedom. And not just hackers.
This has actually nothing to do with your premium payment, it's an underwriting risk factor. Research has shown that people with high credit scores make less insurance claims. People who make less insurance claims pay less for insurance.

In other words, credit score is a proxy for conscientiousness. Some people don't like that so a few states have outlawed using credit score in underwriting. Hawaii and Massachusetts specifically IIRC.
We've established - quite clearly - that in an emergency the government can lock everything down for 2 years and that lip service to liberty or human rights means nothing. Emergencies happen every 2-3 years. Why won't we see similar anti-liberty measures again in the next 20 years? 'We' 'know' it 'works'. It isn't even clear that we'll be spared another pandemic through that timeframe, the world is quite small these days and it doesn't look like we're winding back on the interconnected globe.

Furthermore we've not proven that the laws have been given up; the impacts of the anti-liberty legislation in the wake of 9/11 took almost a decade to sink in and enter the public discourse. The surveillance and enforcement measures used to enforce compliance through COVID are firmly still on the table. Probably help protect children and/or fight Russians or something. Worked in China, great impacts on crime, etcetera, etcetera.
A "slippery slope" argument that something is dangerous is, imho, similar to use a corellation to argue that there is a direct causal link between two observations. Neither are sufficient to prove such claims. But, both _may_, depending on other information, be evidence supporting the claims, even if they do not prove the claim outright.

In other words, slippery slope areguments (like correlation arguments) are fallacies if they are claimed as definitive proofs for a claim being made, but are not fallacies if used as supporting evidence for a claim or if arguing that the claim should be considered a possibility that may need to be considered or investigated.

In bayesian reasoning, both can be used as evidence for some claim, that creates a new set of (posterior) probabilities for a set of mutually exclusive claims based on a set of prior probabilities.

For instance, lets say you are concerned that some president may end up as a dictator. In a democracy, the prior probability may be relatively small. Then, lets assume the country abolishes term grants more power to the president in some time of emergency. In that case, one could argue using a sliding slope argument that the risk that the posterior probability of the president ending up as a dictator had increased after being granted more powers.
The distinction between what is and what is considered so is rather important.

For the love of god can people stop abusing the Chinese room?

Searle is a materialist, pretty hardcore one at that. What he wanted to show with the Chinese room is that simulation of intelligence and intelligence are not the same thing, that a machine, or even a human for that matter, can perform symbol manipulation without having any internal understanding of the thing they perform.

It's an argument against functionalism (i.e. that a digital computer 'thinks' the same way as a human merely because it performs the same tasks), not an argument for dualism. (that mind and matter are ontologically dinstinct substances)
closed eye fractals can happen with either MDMA or ketamine alone, and they synergize with each other to create stronger effects.

so the presence of closed eye visuals on a mixture containing at least MDMA and ketamine would not in any way suggest that it necessarily contains any 2C-B.
So you basically are saying PCA is a useless procedure.

Also, "after a certain point" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentance.

I'd like to see them do a temperature controlled kettle or possibly a coffee machine, though I understand kettles don't get used so much in the U.S. due to the lower voltage.

The idea is not to hide the message but to condemn it and motivate people to not do that.
Something taking longer than expected doesn't mean it's a slippery slope.

Whether they were effective or not is orthogonal to whether the slippery slope argument is a fallacy.
My conjecture is that any new form of GI will continue to evolve from an existing branch of sentient organisms. Artificial influence to evolution could be made possible by augmenting a current GI with AI, but i'm unable to comprehend a GI built entirely from scratch.

My argument for this line of reasoning is that the secret sauce of motivation or purpose that is deep down in every "dna" has neither been discovered nor replicable.

This is not a religious but a philosophical assertion.
You conflate 'existence of x' with 'common agreement of existence of x'.

Black holes existed decades/centuries ago but (from memory) there was no agreement they actually existed until gravity waves were detected just recently.
John McWhorter wrote an article discussing the word.

But this is not so much "feature selection" as it is "compressing the data". It says right in the conclusion that the entire goal was "dimensionality reduction". In a very real way, PCA is selecting all features. That is, your data collection process remains unchanged. In a real feature selection, you would be able to say "ok, we don't need to collect X data anymore".
Best practice is to remember that intelligence means optimizing for some state of the world. If you have a "smart" product, it may not be optimizing for your preferred state of the world. Most commonly, it's not even optimizing for its manufacturer or vendor's preferred state of the world, because we don't truly know how to design a specific intelligence yet.

Our best efforts are just kind of putting in some objectives and hoping they don't get goodharted too badly.
Now do a good faith attempt at the same exercise for the natural origin hypothesis.

they don't have a privilege for being white.

As a white (and formerly working class) boy from the UK, I can confidently say that nobody has at any point in my life discriminated against me on the basis of my ethnic background. That is the extent of what this expression means – it does not mean that any individual to whom it applied is in a superior position relative to others, but only that they do not suffer from disadvantage due to one specific thing.

There is a stubborn desire to ignore this distinction, and the reason that these terms become divisive is because people are too often manipulated into misrepresenting them.

> If your serious about getting the government out, including out of copyright and patents, then let's talk. Until then, let's regulate these companies.

I'm all for eliminating all government privileges and cronyism (which are really rights violations of the competition). In this world, there is no way we're going to get a grand bargain where all things will simultaneously change in that way. For each proposed change, ask whether we increase or decrease natural rights (especially to life and property). "Intellectual" property is a creation wholly new in human history before a few hundred years ago. Property in land and goods goes back to evolutionary times: it's basic territoriality, and respecting that keeps the peace. Free trade is the way forward to widespread prosperity.
Thanks very much! Especially in the context that reading on as this thread rapidly tends towards "terrifying incomprehensibility", I take that as high praise.
