Be clear about what problem your project solves.

Strive to keep that problem statement small, focused on the highest ROI problem.

Break the project down into milestones. That will tell you what to work on, and what not to work on. Set achievable deadlines to keep yourself accountable and laser focused on forward progress.

If a bikeshed question arises, ask whether it can be deferred and easily changed later. If so, defe9r it.

If the bikeshed question cannot be deferred, build consensus with the _key_ stakeholders. Try to keep that set of people small (just those with relevant expertise, and those with authority) and don't worry about pleasing everyone, trying that will be wasteful. Don't worry about the outcome, if its a small part of the overall ROI.

Projects don't have to solve all problems, just effectively improve the status quo.
> I've tried to apply to federal positions for years. I won't even get so much as a "fuck off".

Am guessing that you get (eventually) a message that you were "qualified but not referred?"
That is an unsatisfying and fallacious response. I did not make that claim, nor did I call them a propaganda outlet. For whom are they propagandizing?
I'm really interested in knowing if your used any frameworks or libraries for this game, and if that's the case, which ones? I'm on my phone now so I can't easily check your source.
Hang on to NP complete problems instead, that one will stick around for a while I expect.
And not all chargebacks go through. Your bank or credit card company likely gives you a “provisional credit” while they investigate. The funds appear in your account but they can (and occasionally do) get pulled back if the financial institution determines, for whatever reason, the chargeback isn’t valid.
Not sure, the way I would find out is open Tor browser and go to dark.fail and then switch to the onion service version of the site (the browser might prompt you, but there should be one on dark.fail to copy and paste)

Then just use that site like normal and it will have a list of popular onion services like the New York Times and Dread and also including darknet markets (DNMs) and their mirrors, and the liveness of those URLs

Then I would go on Dread (if its up) and see what people are saying about any particular DNM, else I would find the darknet market subreddit to see if there is anything there, else find articles about current top markets. some last for so long and are still lasting that they're pretty reliable, so I would probably skip all this if I've still got credentials to one thats still up. its a hassle to sign up to some markets and some more secure ones so it thwarts my curiosity

for just browsing those sites I'm fine with Tor browser, but if you actually want to buy things or download things or communicate with a vendor I would say stick with Whonix (or Tails if thats fine for you) because you need other apps and having Tor for all connections and other anonyming techniques at all times is better.

(if you are going to a site with more objectionable content for even viewing, don't use Tor browser either. dark.fail doesn't list those)
What's Zapium? I searched for it, but nothing relevant came up.
You're right, the existence of humans strongly suggests that artificial general intelligence is possible.

But the existence of DALL-E 2, which is not AGI and nonetheless produces beautiful art, does not convince me that software will be writing reliable software before AGI happens.
The last update to their blog was in 2019, so I think it's safe to say this is dead. When I click on their FAQ, I get the message, "This HappyFox account is expired. Please contact Administrator."

I did find a video[0]. It's just an automated version of the doohickey you see at any clothing store. Seems to require a lot of human input and orientation.

When I say "folding clothes" as a challenge for AI, I mean a device that is smart enough to take a pile of laundry, straight from the dryer, and fold each piece correctly. So if it's a t-shirt, then fold the arms inward, then fold that in half so the front is visible. If it's a pair of trousers, then fold each leg along the creases, match them together, and fold over the knee.

I've been sitting here with my mouth wide open for 5 minutes unable to move past what you just showed me. I can't fathom that this exists.
This sounds like Pathfinder Society but somehow lamer. I went to one session of it with a friend and it was so bizarre. There was almost no role playing it just went straight into combat. The parties are just whoever shows up that day to play, it seemed like most people there didn't know each other. So there was no real backstory or cohesion in the groups. In the end after you go through a canned combat encounter you get assigned some loot and exp and call it a day. Your character is tracked in a central database online so you can drop in with other groups in another city and play with the same character.

I get why it would appeal to some people. Some folks have the itch for playing a TTRPG but don't want the commitment of a consistent group. The town I was in had a huge military presence which is the prime demographic for something like that. But to me it felt weird and soulless. They managed to take all of the role playing out of RPGs.

And now someone sees that bad experience and goes "... let's put it on the blockchain." Big oft.
Keep in mind that many languages are inherently gendered and to ask someone "what did you today?" for example in Polish, you need to use the right gender. Answering anything will also reveal you gender.

This is def a direct intention of the city planners. Despite being in one of the warmest parts of Canada, it still has long dark winters due to its latitude. "Point Towers" are a way to maximize light and also to provide peak a boo views of the mountains.

I don't know; I haven't paid close attention to such things. But pulling on the acl2 thread will probably lead somewhere.

Also maybe of interest, not quite the same but on vaguely parallel lines, minikanren and microkanren.
The alternative to horrible customer service is not servicing poor customers. Traditional banks choose that solution. I'm not saying one is better than the other though.
It's funny how much PR gets done by this company that Musk says doesn't do PR or have a PR department.
But we all agree it doesn't disappear, right? Instead of large problem on the ground, I now have large problem in the air and small one on the ground.

What are the things that are easier to handle in the air than on the ground?

I feel either I am having a complete and utter intuitive misunderstanding of conservation of mass and stuff, or everybody else is :-D. I feel we are replacing stuff I can touch and move and cover and isolate and manage, with stuff that I now breathe in forever and lands in the water and on plants and people in a completely uncontrolled fashion. It did not magically go away somewhere, right? :-O

I generally agree with all the points in that report, but note they are talking about US plants, located in minority areas, that regularly fail to meet the US standards for air quality, and don't seem particularly motivated to do so for whatever reason.

You can have crappy, low-tech, poorly-regulated coal plants / landfills / trash incinerators etc. that do worse than the average of examples of the same tech.
Probably lower on the cost/benefit ratio of automating, or something that requires a decision to be made.
omg, this is just like pandora! i wonder what happened to them.

Is that because the instructions are meant for human consumption or because of a shortcoming in the robots themselves
No doubt the junior dev would benefit a lot more from only getting up to 60-70% code coverage.

The extra time could then be used to learn basic Db performance, which is hugely important when tables have millions or billions of rows.

Stuff like indexes and isolation levels should be taught to all junior devs, it's just too risky not to.
I don't like home automation either, but it's not really rewiring to swap a faceplate. Just annoying and a little wasteful of what is probably still a functional device. My single one it kitchen isn't obsolete yet: it's kind of outclassed by more recent fast-chargers for some phones, but all chargers I have that have a removable cable are still USB-A at the power socket end.
I used to work with a greybeard that did exactly this, and it seemed to work very well for him!
In my experience the NY ATC can be brusque in a way that can border on the unprofessional, and they tend to have an accent that can be hard to understand if you're not from there and you're listening on your crappy AM aviation radio. I assume that would go double for a non-native speaker of English.

In the rest of the country that I've flown in, the controllers seem to be aiming for the voice of bored Apollo mission controllers.
Do you still have to be straight-edge to get hired by the feds?
> It was clearly the retailer in breach of Affirm’s terms

Yes, and that's why the payment to the retailer should have been the one in dispute, not the loan payment to Affirm. This is how it always works when you finance through a third party... it works the same way for a car loan, a mortgage, a credit card, etc.
Some contracts include contract-to-hire provisions. In other cases, b/c of the total value of the customer relationship, the cost of the customer poaching is just a cost of doing business. Other times, a small contacting firm is stuck between a rock and a hard place - there's nothing they can do about it. It sort of varies.

However, I don't think lack of executive awareness is the issue.

Seems like view cones are a frequent criticism of certain pro-housing activists, but I think we can see from this Vancouver Zoning Map is the real low hanging fruit for more housing development is the vast swath of land zoned exclusively for single family homes.

Personally I can't understand the hate for the viewcones that I sometimes see. Talk with any newcomer to the city and they absolutely love the mountains. The mountain views are one of the selling points of this city. It would be utterly mad to block them.
I believe the hard part would be the reading of the booklet - operation robots or similar should be able to build with LEGO given that simple LEGO robots can build simple LEGO sets.
I read the article, but I don't understand that there was a 146 year old mystery. A grad student saw some berries he didn't recognize in a painting, looked through some botanical archives and found berries that matched the painting, then named the berries after the painter. That doesn't seem like much of a mystery.
If all your sources say the same things, how would it be different from propaganda?

"Believe half of what you see and nothing that you hear"
Is that widely used? There's a world of difference between "theoretically possible" and "commonly used", and I'm not familiar enough to know which this is.

I wish the footage wasn't sped up so much. I know they speed these videos up to make it more "interesting" but honestly it's so fast I lost interest because I couldn't focus on anything.

It a cool to see the inside of the factory tho, hopefully we can get a more detailed look sometime.
pay your taxes man, it's not worth it

but fwiw with monero they don't know where the crypto came from. Technically, you could have mined it in the early days. So as long as you have to report on sale only and not origination, everyone can party on
I think blockchain domains are detrimental to the existing system, so I don't get why XYZ would help try to legitimize them. They're not even promoting XYZ. They're literally encouraging customers to go buy a .eth domain where XYZ doesn't have any control or make any money.

It's probably well intentioned and I like seeing XYZ making an effort to do more than maintain the status quo, but there are better ways to promote domains than jumping on the blockchain bandwagon in my opinion.
They're literally digging up Broadway constructing the Broadway line skytrain right now.
Layperson's question: The article talks about "a possible galaxy that exists some 13.5 billion light-years from Earth". But isn't that just the light traveling distance, and the object should actually be much further away due to the expansion of the universe?
I don't buy the thesis. Some propaganda might seem dumb because it's meant to rile up particular bases, which might not include you. The propaganda that does target you will often be tangential to something you do believe in sincerely, and you might not see it as propaganda, and if you do, you might not see it as a problem in the same way you wouldn't see "common sense" as a problem.
The struggle of using native emoji on the web
I agree with your first paragraph but your edit is repeating the same non-sequitur made by the article. I don't know why journalists and people in these discussions keep referring back to Satoshi's statements as if they mean anything. The average non-tech person still has no idea who that is, will never care who that is, was not following bitcoin back in 2008 and has no reason to care about a random comment on a mailing list or in a whitepaper. The average cryptographer or hardcore blockchain person also probably has no reason to care about them. The only reason to bring it up at all just seems to be part of the myth-building.

Bitcoin is the polar opposite of an untraceable currency. This is a strangely repeated claim.

The whole point of bitcoin is trustless action. I don't have to trust you because I can verify the transaction.

If anyone can verify a transaction, it's obviously traceable.

I think the confusion seems from the fact that you do not need to issue a form of identity to use bitcoin. Which is how cash works too.

If your intention is to turn bitcoin into fiat, you will be found out. Fiat is highly regulated, your identity is required. Unless you turned bitcoin into pure cash, which is unlikely at scale.

"Ah but Monero" no. Monero requires you to trust the authors because you can't verify any of the transactions, especially the genesis blocks. Use at your own peril. Bitcoin does not in anyway attempt to mirror this.

Half the value of a bank is that the bank authenticates transactions have actually happened. Bitcoin does too. Publicly. There's nothing "anonymous" about it. There's just no requirement to tie an address to a human identity, but that doesn't mean it can't be done (and you should always act like it has been done, lest the law come for you too).

The idea that crytocurrencies empower criminals because they're anonymous is braindead. There's a lower barrier of entry but scams are older than Central economies are. Crypto is just the newest vehicle and getting rid of crypto will not get rid of scammers (or ransomware).

For example: The Bangladeshi bank heist.
This is the kind of thing that could possibly be worth trillions of dollars. This is something that tens or hundreds of millions of people would be willing to pay thousands of dollars per year on. Now that we have some sort of evidence that it’s possible, I wouldn’t be surprised if companies threw billions of dollars worth of research to make it happen, and that could mean getting a product to market sooner rather than later.

Evidence that life flashes before the eyes upon death
No it doesn't. DALL-E 2 is purposely vague on model architecture to make it impossible to reproduce from the paper alone.
Yeah that’s right. There were very few strictly-bad ones across the entire thread of generations

The rejections were most commonly

1. Kind of just slightly boring or literally drawing the thing rather than being cool and artistic

2. Cool but similar to the artistic style of bios near it in the thread, whereas I wanted to keep it diverse (surreal followed by literal, oil followed by sharp lines etc) so it's more fun to scroll through

Whereas a few years ago generative models (GANs etc) would often render like static noise sometimes or completely wrong things. I've only seen that problem once with DALL-E across hundreds or thousands of images now (it generated a fully white image)
It's a bad idea... Users on mobile or use cellular connections get their IPs rotated often. There's also CGNAT (Carrier Grade NAT), users share a pool of IPs.

Kind of depends on the situation. I'm currently working in a situation where I've never set foot in the office, but am living where I do with the expectation I might have to someday since it's not a remote position on paper. I'd prefer a remote position on paper and if I had it I'd definitely be living somewhere else, but at this point in time my #1 concern is maximizing compensation vs cost of living.

If my workplace introduced fulltime return to office, it wouldn't really change my calculus on how much I want to work for them. If my fellows did start leaving though, I'd start looking for concessions, because no one wants to be the idiot left holding the bag during a Brain Drain scenario.
That’s the direct tradeoff you make though - if you want to be near other people (which typically also means being where the jobs + interesting things are), you get less space. If you want more space, you can go live somewhere rural, but everyone else around you also gets more space, so there won’t be much nearby.

If you want a lot of space and to be near a lot of people, you’ll have to pay more. You’re basically paying to have more than your neighbors at that point.

(That aside, if you want that much land, why haven’t you moved to a more rural area then?)
>what GPT-3 and DALL-E are doing is literally creating models about how we (humans) perceive the world.

Not really. They're creating models of how pixel-space covaries with word sequences over human-meaningful samples. These models are modelling the space of human meaning, not human perception.
Not really comparable to a highway. I mean, yes it's a wide street, but you can just walk across Georgia Street as a pedestrian. Can't do that with the sort of highways that scar the landscape of so many North American cities.
> 1. This is crazy to me. I could maybe cut $3K by taking a huge hit to quality of life (that would probably not be sustainable with a full time job anyways). Getting the other $7K would involve either homelessness or cutting back on eating and visiting family. How do salary earners manage to rack up $10K per year of purely unnecessary expenses?

Cleaning services, vacations, picking the fancy and nice daycare using some trendy educational system (Montessori, unschooling, whatever) instead of the one run out of someone's house in a scary part of town, ordering food delivery, monthly subscription services for all kinds of crap, new car every 2 years instead of a used one every 5 years... the list goes on and on.

This gets brought up every time. Tesla has never said they don’t do marketing, or have a PR department. They have said they don’t advertise.

If you have evidence saying otherwise please do share.
I tried what you suggested for a bunch of the twitter bios and found nothing except links back to this thread. I also reverse image searched a bunch of them to see if DALL-E was just kind of pasting together large chunks of images, but never found anything close.
I do think you're being dismissive but please post any examples of what you mean. I'm a skeptic and have been waiting to find out that this is just a glorified parlor trick, but so far it seems like DALL-E is doing everything the authors claim, which is remarkable.
We Need Platform Regulation
Also see, the purpose of modern advertising. It's for the 2nd and 3rd order effects. Most modern mass advertising is not to convince you (directly) to buy the product, rather it's to convince you that *other* people are buying the product. If you see a message in a number of public places, you *know* that other people have seen that message, which in turn affects your behaviour (you know this brand is a "safe" choice and won't be seen as weird, for example).

Real modern propaganda works not even 2nd or 3rd order effects, but 4th order, with a bit of reverse psychology.
