If you do it accidentally, yes. The reason our airlines are so safe is that even if a lethal crash is due to the error of a pilot or mechanic we don't try to punish them but instead try to improve our systems so that it doesn't happen in the future.
In CA "The California Smog Check Program requires vehicles that were manufactured in 1976 or later to participate in the biennial (every two years) smog check program in participating counties." so it would be exempt based on the year that it was manufactured.
We moved from Utah to Wisconsin a year ago. People ask us why - this is why. With a growing population and diminishing water supply, it made no sense to keep living out there. I am sure there is some level of population that is sustainable in a desert climate, but they seem to be well above that level today.
I agree with everything you said! I was reacting to "I don't see the harm" specifically. Ultimately, I think that with a few improvements to the Postgres protocol, settling on it wouldn't even be a "worse is better" outcome.
One can believe in freedom and also believe that the federal government has grown too big and often infringes on those freedoms.

> Believe me, a decent chunk of Americans don’t even understand the concept of freedom.

The government overreaching doesn't mean people don't understand the concept of freedom, just that the establishment has grown too influential.

Instant On has several limitations like maximum APs in a site or maximum clients. I don’t want to say they are bad products but it’s only useful for a small network.

TP-Link Omada is a very similar system like UniFi in this price range. Their Controller GUI almost looks the same as UniFi‘s.

Buzzword Buzzkill: Excitement and Overstatement in Tech Communications
I think the question I need an answer from you on is:

What do you think will be the computational requirements for the first AGI? Specifically, to emulate the equivalent of a minute of arbitrary-human behaviour (in the worst case, so if the AI is very inefficient at say, consoling a loved one, then that would be the behaviour benchmarked here):

1. How many floating point operations will be required?

2. How much storage space (in GB) would be required?

3. How much data (in GB) would need to be read from memory/disk?

4. How much data (in GB) would need to be read from remote storage?

Lower/upper bounds instead of precise values are fine.
Based on personal experience, my sense is that much back pain is caused by bacteria. Obviously some people have a specific injury that causes their back pain, but I think doctors have an easier time finding the problem, when there was a specific injury. But when the pain slowly appears with aging, and has no specific cause, I suspect bacteria plays a role.

As an analogy, most cases of pneumonia are caused by streptococcus pneumococcus, and most of us have this bacteria in our lungs by the time we are 5 years old, and yet the bacteria lives in our lungs for most of our lives, and it does no damage, so long as our immune system is healthy. But then one day, when we are 85 years old, the streptococcus pneumococcus becomes active and hurts us. This is after 80 years of peaceful coexistence.

At one point I was looking up incidence of disease on the CDC website, and I was surprised to see that they said 1 out of 3 Americans test positive for exposure to neisseria meningitis, which can cause spinal meningitis. Only about 55 Americans a year die from this, so this is a bacteria which apparently reaches 100 million Americans but causes death in less than 0.000000001% cases. But maybe it can cause back pain? Maybe as we get older, and our immune system is less active, neisseria meningitis could cause inflammation in the spine?

I once had an illness that doctors thought was Lyme disease. Among other things, it gave me agonizing back pain, so bad that I would have to lie on the couch all day, unable to move. But antibiotics fully resolved the situation. So the fact that bacteria can cause back pain is well known to me, and the fact that antibiotics can solve back pain, in some cases, is also well known to me.
Most of the folks I know flying confederate flags think the same thing about that flag.

Personally, I care less about what I mean when I write and more about how people might read my writing.
Well, you can find a lot of 80's era 8-bit retrocomputers on Ebay for not too much money, outside of the more rare and in-demand models. I recently picked up an Atari 800 for a couple of hundred dollars, for example. Eying an Atari 1040ST as my next one...

Outside of buying an off the shelf machine and playing around with it, you could just build your own machine, using a popular CPU from that era, like a z80 or a 6502. I'm more of a z80 guy in that regard, so I can speak more to that world. There, I can say that there is a LOT of information, manuals, plans, books, videos, etc "out there" to help you with the process[1]. The same is probably true for the 6502 but I have less experience with that world, so can't say so from first hand experience.

Another interesting thing to do would be to follow Ben Eater's Youtube series[2] where he walks through building an 8-bit computer basically from scratch. He really digs down to the very lowest level of how things work as he builds up his machine.

Finally, I might recommend the books Code by Charles Petzold and The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken, and the associated website for the latter[3].

Neither is "about" retro-computing per-se, but both books work on explaining computing fundamentals at a very low level, in a way that's generally easy to follow, and which maps pretty cleanly to understanding something like an 80's era 8-bit CPU.

And, of course, once you have a handle on simple 8-bit machines, and have the basics mastered, you could start looking to branching out into building and/or buying more sophisticated machines based on 16 or 32 bit architectures.

People have done some wild stuff in the name of retro-computing. You'll hear stories of people who put IBM mini-computers like an AS/400, or even a full-fledged IBM mainframe[4] in their home. Be careful, this can be addictive... :-)

GenPAx | Engineers (full stack, frontend/backend) | Notting Hill, London | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

GenPAx is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year.

Infection control is the practical, evidence-based approach which prevents patients and health workers from being harmed by avoidable infection. No one should catch an infection while receiving health care, yet, these infections can spread through outbreaks and regular care practices, affecting hundreds of millions of people across the world every year.

At GenPAx our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which genome sequencing data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

We already have a world-class scientific team of bioinformaticians, and we're building out an engineering team to match. We need to productionise the analysis pipeline to scale out, and design and build a stunning user-facing product. The tech stack isn't set in stone yet - our lead engineer's recent experience is with Elixir/Python/TypeScript, but we're open minded.

Not sure if the author will read this, but there is a simple answer to both problems.

In functional programming, you typically do not manipulate state directly, instead you compose functions that manipulate that state, into more complex functions. (In Haskell, for example, this composition is often done through monads.) Eventually, you get a function that represents the whole program.

This is somewhat dual to imperative programming, and is kind of a shift of the frame of reference. We could make an analogy with an assembly line in a factory. Imperative programming is like looking standing at the factory floor, every machine (procedure) receives a thing (input), does something with it, and outputs it. Functional programming is like being together with the thing as it is manipulated through the factory, in its own frame of reference. So instead of passing the thing (data) around, you see passing of the machinery that modifies that thing (functions), in the opposite direction.

I agree with everything you said, and so does Singer.

But I want to point out that a large part of Singer's book is about "effective altruism", giving in a way that helps. He talks about how the shallow analysis of Charity Navigator focuses mainly on operational overhead, while a few charity evaluation sites have boots on the ground to study how the charity is using its spending and measuring results. See the "Best Charities" link on the site below:

Quantum computers cost millions of dollars, and are worse random sources than a component that costs a penny. Simply put, no, quantum computers will not solve this.
They do. I’ve seen the contracts, and even the RFP’s that led to the contracts. It’s illegal.

They will sometimes make a free gateway portal to those records, where you input your in-state zipcode to get access, or some other nonsense like that. But they actually have the gall to say in their contracts that the digital files cannot be redistributed by the (public, taxpayer-funded) state or local archive. Funny, the state law says they can’t do that…

And so the non-profit I founded and run is starting to reclaim those public records, for the public, for free.
There's a reason people keep their financial assets in a bank or other such institution, rather than cash under the mattress.
People describe a lot of very different taboos as “the last that is still frowned on”.

I am rather more troubled by the idea of someone “enjoying” these dead examples in that way. But I have the same trouble with leather fetishism for exactly the same reasons, and most do not share my negative reaction to the latter.

I wonder how that works, and why? Stream of consciousness here, but specifically about leather: could it be that the uncanny valley effect happens when the visual processing in our brains detect most of the signals to positively recognise an object, but missing a certain number of core features or possessing anti-features, and that my brain is trying to match again an unusual set of features such that leather induces this reaction in me — i.e. that it’s a person wearing someone else’s skin — whereas more normal people learned a substantially different set of feature detectors and just see leather as nothing more than a durable fabric?
They already have the documents. But releasing them would make it easier for a competitor to make a cheaper drop in replacement. It would be a win for consumers though.

1930s Germany is not the low-water mark for authoritarian thoughts and actions. You can get to authoritarianism long before you get to actual Nazism.
While I would love for that to happen. Quite recently (e.g. [1], also discussed on HN, I believe) the Julia community seemed content with more niche applications, quite deliberately choosing not to challenge the biggies (TensorFlow, Torch, etc.) on deep learning, because the amount of mainainers needed to be competitive was just not there.

Is there reason to expect this to change? Maintaining something like Torch and keeping it competitive in terms of speed is a HUGE amount of work for systems development, writing insane numbers of GPU kernels, etc. After having read it, I wouldn't quite yet call the tone of the discussion you linked "serious talk"...

Miners could in theory decide to blacklist transactions from particular addresses which are pseudoanonymous. It's a harder coordination problem because miners are less geographically concentrated since the mining ban in China [0] but it's not inconceivable for a country to restrict mining in that way though which would pretty quickly restrict your ability to get transactions included successfully because you'd have a double gamble first on a non-restricted miner including you then on being included on their block (which you could increase by overpaying transaction fees).
