I believe most users see a tech product as a tool, "The thing that gets you to the thing". Whereas a majority in tech view those tools more as experiences. An experience puts more focus on the process itself, at the expense of the end result.

Unfortunately this tech oligopoly landscape doesn't leave users many ways to express this preference, but I often wonder if the culture will change at some point in the future as the industry matures.

An aging western population might have an influence here as well, in the long term. Older folks have less tolerance for having to relearn how to do the same thing they already knew how to do for the umpteenth time.
For me, a combination of asking "why am I worried about this? what's the worst that can happen?" and propanolol. Propanolol is an easy prescription to get, it's a blood pressure medication, but it works VERY well for acute anxiety IMO because it takes away all the physical symptoms (fast pulse, shaky hands, nausea, dry mouth).
Skimming through the book I'm happy that it was written with Racket, and I'm also

TBH, I'm not sure that I entirely understand the question[s].

It seems that you are talking about moving from a "problem-solver" workflow, to a "creator/architect" workflow.

You also mention self-help kind of stuff, and how it seems focused at problem-solvers, and not creators.

So, I assume the question is that you are planning to move from a "problem-solver," to a "creator," and want to find out about support infrastructure for "creators."

One reason that there's less of an infrastructure around creation, is that it is a lot riskier, and, for the most part, a lot less lucrative, than problem-solving. For every unicorn, prancing around SV, farting out rainbows, there's a charnel pit, with the rotting corpses of 10,000 jackasses with horns glued to their heads.

Everyone has problems, though, and are often willing to pay well, to have these problems solved.
Am I the only one to think that the AI world is divided into 2 groups:

1. Deepmind, who solved go, protein folding, and that seems really onto something.

2. Everyone else, spending billions to build machines that draw astronauts on unicorns, and smartish bot toys.
That was also my favourite concept, especially with OpenAI Jukebox (https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/). The idea of having new music in the style of your favourite artist is amazing.

However the fidelity of their music AI kinda sucks at this point, but I'm sure we'll get pitch perfect versions of this concept as the singularity gets closer :)
Can you provide sources on that statement about CERB? I'm aware of some people claiming on others behalf (obvious ID theft/fraud), and people claiming when ineligible which was a risk they were aware of, but not any type of fraud that would be resolved by "proof of personhood" as in biometric scans of every person in the country.

This argument sort of reminds me of Reagan-esque "welfare queen" talking points.
Let's start with https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/328443/
The timing of the Dall-E 2 launch an hour ago seems to correspond with a recent piece of investigative journalism by Buzzfeed News about one of Sam Altman's other ventures, published 15 hours ago and discussed elsewhere actively on HN right now:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30931614

I point this out because while Dall-E 2 seems interesting (I'm out of my depth, so delegating to the conversation taking place here), the timing of its release as well as accompanying press blasts within the last hour from sites like TheVerge—verified via wayback machine queries and time-restricted googling—seems both noteworthy and worth a deeper conversation given what was just published about Worldcoin.

To be clear, it's worth asking if Dall-E 2 was published ahead of schedule without an actual product release (only a waitlist) to potentially move the spotlight away from Worldcoin.

Strictly speaking, only the claims matter, and so the text if those would need to be read and used to determine whether it can be invalidated due to prior art. The claims have very little to do with the diagrams supplied, rather they are about a way to compress cache coherency transfers if the line is all zeros (kind of like LPDDR has, in a way).

That said, copying so many of a competitors' slides into figures is still stupid as it is highly unlikely to give a judge a great first impression.
Finally. The lack of an edit button is super annoying.

I think more countries getting nukes is a good thing. It clearly prevents aggression by the evil imperialist countries.

Agree. A more interesting question would be how to interact with this channel in some meaningful way. Ie can we steer some fungus activity in some way with introducing some stimulus. Not exactly to “test for conscious” but just “can we get repeatable output for a controlled input.”

I do though think it should be allowable to ponder out loud things like “could this be conscious?” If only because it’s a much more fruitful and less self serving premise than how science has conducted itself to this point. But also because humans have something of a vested interest in not having to admit that wide industrial processes harm sentient life, for instance.
Around 2010 I was working at Urban Airship (now just Airship) offering an API for mobile app developers to send push notifications. We put a ton of effort into making sure we didn’t drop pushes and our API was HA. At one point very early on I was restoring pushes out of error emails in mutt (not great, I know, I know).

The reason? Not some unrealistic view of ourselves as Google or Amazon, but because we knew we served pushes for a popular pill reminder app (among other reasons).

So just because you don’t have Google or Amazons scale, the data you store and process may be as precious to your users as Amazon’s shopping carts are to them. Over 10 years later there is a lot more medication in my life, and I’m really proud of the sometimes-ridiculous lengths we went to to get the pushes delivered.
Well, that settles it. Let’s pack it up, team.

MongoDB | Software Engineer, Query | Full-time | $180-300k+ (total comp, negotiable) | NYC or Remote (North America only) | https://mongodb.com

MongoDB started as a NoSQL document database, but we are growing into a data platform with sophisticated support for transactional, analytics, full-text search, and time-series queries at huge scale.

This opening is specifically for my Database Query Optimization team, where you'll make core contributions to our flagship open source codebase (https://github.com/mongodb/mongo).

If you have relational or NoSQL Database expertise, that's great, but what's most important is that you have a track record of delivering robust implementations of complex algorithms in data-intensive production applications. The "SE3" level of this job requires 2+ years of experience and senior level requires 5+.

Yes, they're Ponzis.

You're eighteen years old and see a Twitch streamer talking about how he's making $4000 / day by earning $SCAM tokens on this game. It doesn't look like a very interesting game, but you're good at games, why shouldn't you do this too?

To start earning by playing, just one small step: you first need to buy a character. They cost about $500 but of course it's a great investment. The only way to buy the character is with the $SCAM tokens, so first you just need to convert your $500, credit cards accepted...

And that is the real-world cashflow that pays the Twitch streamer and the company and the VCs. The tokens you earn in the game are only worth something as long as there's a steady stream of hopeful players bringing real money into the system.
Isn't it awesome to not have to write undifferentiated code? Leaves more time to work on other problems.
Ubiquiti Teaches AWS Security and Crisis Comms via Counterexample
Nanite is basically a really complex compute shader reimplementing a rasterizer, along with generating LODs only for what is being seen, at the appropriate level, no matter the zoom (instead of fixed amounts of LODs)

So, Compute Shaders are relatively recent, anything DirectX 9 era and before is right out. Then, you still need a solid enough GPU to run that at interactive framerates, and fast storage to stream all that data in and out. And finally, there was simply no or very little research on the subject.
I think months or even a year is fine—longer-term deals, especially if tied to a whole catalog, start to look too much like ownership.
What confusing pricing[1]:

> Prices are per 1,000 tokens. You can think of tokens as pieces of words, where 1,000 tokens is about 750 words. This paragraph is 35 tokens.

Further down, in the FAQ[2]:

> For English text, 1 token is approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words. As a point of reference, the collected works of Shakespeare are about 900,000 words or 1.2M tokens.

> To learn more about how tokens work and estimate your usage…

> Experiment with our interactive Tokenizer tool.

And it goes on. When most questions in your FAQ are about understanding pricing—to the point you need to offer a specialised tool—perhaps consider a different model?

I guess if you believe in quantum immortality, then you would assume that you are actually likely to be toward the average observer who never dies.

Perhaps we'll achieve medical immortality some time in the next couple decades, and then decide to stop making so many humans.
Waiting until there are consequences (in general) instead of merely the prediction of consequences (reactive instead of proactive) has two effects:
1) Delaying costs and potentially setting off consequences that cannot be avoided.
2) Not being taken in by those who use scare tactics to control you based upon consequences that might not happen.

Is this a matter of deferred gratification and societal-level self control, or of epistemology and institutional trust?

Your statement “mushrooms are certainly not conscious” cannot be proven.

It also makes the assumption that consciousness is something we understand. This is certainly not the case. As science still doesn’t have a clue as to what it really is.
It's so easy to see it when you take a few steps back and look at the constant fear the media's been pushing for almost 30-40 years now - every once in a while there's an article about how "_this_ time it's an emergency!"

I swear science is turning more and more corrupted into a substitute for religion for people. We don't have religious faith anymore to guide us and give us comfort, so we're relying on the "experts" that the "higher powers" tell us to listen to. Can't believe in the man in the sky, but we'll believe what the people the media told us were experts have to say!

Everything is political activism, by that metric. Inviting tech workers to openly talk about their experiences and your warning tech workers not to openly talk about their experiences are both political positions. Congrats on not backing the workers, I guess?

Avantek was, until recently, one of the few "price on the public box" options I was aware of in both server and desktop form factors. In desktop form factor there was another recent addition, the AVA Developer Platform, with a range of Altra SKUs. But it's very expensive just like the Avantek one[1]. In general Ampere is the only real competitor in this space anymore it seems, and they're only focusing on major buyers. At this point you'd think the higher volume would offset some costs and it would trickle down to us, but not really.

If I'm being completely honest: unless your opposition to Apple machines is purely political or whatever (which is whatever, do your thing), your best bet is probably just to buy an M1 Mac Mini, install Asahi Linux on it, and run it headless. You can get some aftermarket rackmount kits that can bundle 1-2 Minis, even, if you actually have racks. The performance/watt/$-spent is simply much better all around due to the massive economies of scale and consumer focus and it's a very modern ARMv8.something machine. All of the competitors are simply much slower in raw performance, have buggier hardware/firmware (often both), and run much more expensive when that isn't the case. Hell, even if you bought the Mac Studio and just ran Linux on it, it would probably still be reasonably price competitive, all things considered, even with like half the chip currently non-functional (GPU, NPU, etc). The hardware really is pretty good.

At this point I'm waiting for their ARMv9 chips to start rolling out before jumping on the Linux train. Maybe they'll do a Mac Studio refresh in a year or two from now...

I don't disagree, but couldn't consciousness play out at different time scales? If an alien lived for one second but its brain processed information billions of times faster than ours, would they be right to consider us non-conscious?
What you have written is the unrealistic thing.

The fact that we have cognitive blinders that tends to try to go between two extremes in the middle, even when one of the extremes ("extreme steps needed to avert climate disaster") is correct and the other is incorrect ("we can't stop using fossil fuel and we should just move people from disaster zones") is incorrect.

You are not taking into account the scale and width of the impact of climate change, the effort to implement what you've described, and the breakdown in society that it will cause (along with second order effects).

In the early parts of covid there was almost a breakdown in civil order because of a lack of toilet paper. When that is people dying in heatwaves, mass migration, and starvation it will not be possible to handle it in a methodical fashion.

We can stop using fossil fuels. Electric and renewable can work to replace all our needs, and we can modify our lifestyles otherwise. It isn't great but it is the best alternative.
Something about this makes me nauseous. Perhaps is the fact that soon the market value for creatives is going to fall to a hair about zero for all but the most famous. We will be all the poorer for it when 95% of images you see are AI generated. There will be niches of course but in a few short years it'll be over for a huge swathe of creative professionals who are already struggling.

Some of the images also hit me with a creep factor, like the bears on the corgis in the art gallery, but that maybe only because I know it's AI generated.

I don't see why population collapse implies the end of the human race. It seems like it would be more sustainable medium term to have less people. Endangered species come back from numbers in the thousands maybe even less. I'd imagine once population levels reached anywhere near those kinds of levels there'd be a change in poplulations willingness to have children.
I dunno about de-facto, my anecdata is my heating is in the process switching from L-Gas to H-Gas, have not heard any mention of replacing gas in the near future for existing properties

Wonder what the stats are for new builds being with gas heating vs without

There's some misunderstanding probability going on here.

For example, if the population stays at 8B between now and infinity, and we assume a uniform distribution of % chance you're born at any time, then it's just as equally likely that you'd be born at the beginning as at the end. There's no higher chance that you'd be born in the middle, whatsoever.

Now actually the population is likely to grow, so if anything it's much more likely that you'd be born towards the end. That begins said, some people have to be born first and of course if they thought this way, they might say things like "oh what a coincidence, this is highly unlikely" or "It's far more likely due to exponential growth that any one person exist towards the end of humanity, so therefore this must be the end", but of course, this thought could have been had by cavemen 1000's of years ago and they'd be wrong.
That isn't really the counter-argument to the OP. Their examples were all about large complexity for the gain in throughput.

Clearly, having HA and reliable transport is reasonable for your use-case but that isn't the same as microservices, hadoop or Kafka.
