Sure. Because most of it is scams. And because I don’t think there is a status quo that needs disrupting. I find the idea of widespread anonymity in the larger economy downright scary. I can’t see anything that is interesting, cool or necessary that needs it.

I also fail to think any of the tech built on/with crypto (and blockchains in general) is even vaguely cool or exciting. I don’t think expensive apes are an abberation in an otherwise promising field, I’m convinced it’s just apes and scams all the way down. Artificial scarcity, pyramid schemes, pump and dump. Whether it’s coins or apes it’s the same thing.

The promise (or threat, if you see it from my POV) of actual widespread use in society to challenge traditional systems and industries like credit card companies is perpetually just over the horizon. And as soon as it really does have an impact it’s obviously going to be outlawed.
Interesting. And what would be your suggestions on the nuclear missiles that are based on Russian submarines that are wandering somewhere in the ocean?
What do you mean by csv shd not support this. Do you mean it was a historical mistake or new parsers shdnt be able to read it?
They are blackboxes for the normal user the same way as a smartphone is a blackbox.

Non of my close family understands the technical detail from bits to an image.

There are also plenty of expert systems were plenty of developers see them as blackboxes. Even normal databases and query optimizations are often enough blackboxes.

As long as those systems perform better as existing systems, thats fine by me. Take auto pilot: As long as we can show/proofe good enough that it drives better than an untrained 18 year old or 80 year old (to take extremes, i'm actually quite an avg driver myself), all is good.

And one very very big factor in my point of view: We never ever had the software equivilent of learning. When you look at Nvidia Omniverse, we are able to simulate those real life things so well, so often in such different scenarios, that we are already out of the loop.

I can't drive 10 Million KM in my lifetime (i think). The cars from Google and Tesla already did that.

Yesterday at the google io, they showed the big 50x Billion parameter network and for google this is the perfect excuse to gather and put all of this data they always had into something they now can monetarize. No one can ask google for money now like the press did (Same with Dall-E 2)

I think its much more critical that we enforce/force corporations to make/keep those models free for everyone to use. unfortunate i have no clue how much hardware you need to run those huge models.
Why do you think Twitter needs any changes? I would personally prefer if they removed all of the remaining features you listed and went back to the good old plain chronological list of tweets that made Twitter popular.
The real ace was releasing an EV sports car, the Tesla Roadster. That's what caught people's attention. They were able to see how EV drivetrains were actually better than their ICE counterparts and that electric motors can do much more than drive golf carts – despite having powered everything from submarines to locomotives, people still thought they were weak.

Otherwise, Nissan would have been Tesla. They have produced some of the first practical EVs, way before Tesla did. Unfortunately, they made them for the Japanese consumer, not for the average american. At least not initially.
Douglas Noel Adams
The notions that are crucial for distinguishing between intelligence and what large NNs are doing, are generalization and abstraction. I'm impressed with DALL-E's ability to connect words to images and exploit the compositionality of language to model the compositionality of the physical world. Gato seems to be using the same trick for more domains.

But that's riding on human-created abstractions, rather than creating abstractions. In terms of practical consequences, that means these systems won't learn new things unless humans learn then first and provide ample training data.

But someday we will develop systems that can learn their own abstractions, and teach themselves anything. Aligning those systems is imperative.
Hopefully they will produce 800k EVs. In 2020, they produced 263k EVs, so they'll roughly need to triple production.

https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2022/01/Volkswagen_doub...

Tesla produced 936k cars last year, so VW will probably need to build more than 800k EVs to surpass Tesla in 2022.

A poor excuse to use a useless and broken system for after 15+ years is still slow at sending payments (which is supposedly the primary usecase) and is incinerating the planet doing useless computations just for fake tokens.

No thanks at all, a system that does this needs to be destroyed.
I'm not glad of the people got ruined (if that's the case of anyone?) but I'm pleased that I'll hear less often "buy kkcoins!"
I'd add that there is continuum of options to provide support to a party of a war: from zero support to joining the war in full force as an ally. At which point the support amounts to a proxy war is up to a debate.

Also, I think that it does matter who started the war. Those who are fighting, those who provide support or neither of them (that is, the other party of the war).
Background scanning is a normal WiFi feature, you don't break association state when doing this. It is required for regular and fast roaming.

Also it must be notifying userland it happened because location services is trying to gather that info.

Most WiFi clients enable background scanning when signal strength is below some threshold, so you would never notice latency spikes unless connection is already poor.
Wow that looks cool. I really want to install apps without entrusting my entire hard drive to them.
The Islamic financial model has not been looked at properly by non-Muslims. It works, but it won't allow a few people to get rich by manipulating the market or by lending out money as we have in the rest of the world today.
right, good call
yes, start building. and see projects through to the end. it helps with the iterative process.

> So you get the steep 57% savings of 3-year no-upfront RIs with none of the commitment (you can sell them back to us anytime after 30 days) … We make money off a 20% Savings Fee

Isn’t this business model fundamentally flawed? And not profitable (unless a customer uses you for > 29 months)

Because ONLY companies who plan to use your service for less than 29 months (the break even of a 3 year contract where you keep your 20% cut), should be using your service otherwise it’s just cheaper for them to call up Amazon and get their own 3year RI contract.

Meaning, you’re always going to be in a situation where a customer is going to sell back their RIs and you’ll become unprofitable.

Said differently, you’ll only be profitable if a customer uses you for more than 29 months.
> Why must it apply for a job, rather than just DO a job?

Because being able to manage a business relationship is a part of the job. If you could show an AI which got a job, then wrote a simple script that automated the AI's job and then coasted for a year that would be fine, but your links are just humans doing that, I want an AI that can do that to consider it intelligent.

But thanks for demonstrating so clearly how AI proponents are moving goalposts backward to make them easy to meet.
There is basically no way that Musk keeps him on, so I don't buy this. He will be replaced in due time once the acquisition is complete.
Sure, but I'm not going to be risking anything to restore rapport. Sometimes you have to believe a snake is a snake until they go through the motions to show you otherwise.
Every single bitcoiner I know keeps selling me a world where everyone will be free from central banks, free from "the banking system"(tm), free from taxation, free from states.

They buy bitcoin to destroy the central banks, the states. The corrupted ones. They are on a crusade and at the top of this very new world : them.
One day they will dominate the society. We poor ant-sheeps will continue to struggle while they golden eagles will have almost unlimited satoshis in their wallet that they will have earned so hard by pressing some buttons on a web app.

So yeah I somehow like to see their dreams taste a dose of reality. Bitcoin is a shitcoin too despite them chanting otherwise. And don't get me started on NFTs or other cryptos...
Look at how Islam addresses these problems. From prohibiting interest, to having a built in "wealth tax" (Zakat), to prohibition of selling what you don't own, to no gambling, etc. Solid principles that work.

Just like clicking away with a digital camera, bookmarking things don't really come at a cost.

I definitely experience this as well. I think for me personally it's a) an inflow control issue (no real "quality assurance") and b) due to momentary excitement or a specific mood.

It might help to write a note instead of just bookmarking. While bookmarking is free, writing a note is not. You have to think about two sentences that describe what's behind the bookmark.

Outside of that I've decided that I want to have some "static" bookmark folders (with resources like internet shops that I've found with nice things which I check before buying something) as well as a "daily" folder with only a handful sites (e.g. the public domain review or blogs and news sites that I think are worth looking at every once in a while). I have one called "temp" in which I bookmark everything that has a 50/50 chance of ever being read. Once in a while I open all tabs and check if there's something worthwhile, if not, it goes away.

I think it's fine putting movies and books into a list and not wanting to watch them the next time you want to watch something. However, especially with books, most of the time I get one from my list. I curate the books more and I think it's due to the commitment of hours of reading instead of watching a movie for 100 minutes or so.

Apparently "novelty" is a thing as well, just as you describe. It feels like getting "stale" when waiting in a list.

Hopefully there is someone that maybe read a book about the topic and can maybe recommend it and offer more profound insights.
This is a really clever project. It seems like an obvious idea once you've seen it, but it clearly isn't. Thank you for sharing it.
>NVIDIA's cards were faster than AMD's with the huge gap in transistor density that was the Samsung fab.

They are roughly at par. AMD does better at lower resolutions because of their cache setup.

With the refreshed cards, AMD is slightly ahead.
I think this depends. You can (and should) learn things when you need them, but I have found that knowing about things before you need to use them greatly helps you when the rubber hit the roads.

Ideally I think it's a mix, where you always set some time aside (10-15%) to play and experiment with new / unknown things to sort of try to figure what they are/how they work. After that you'll form an opinion and be able to better pick thing to use when building something new and/or ramp up quickly in the learning by doing box because you've had some previous exposure.

YMMV
K8s on Pg
Why can't k8s use a database like postgres as opposed to etcd. It seems pg has all the availability options covered nowadays.
I mean, yeah, but wash trades aren't wizardry. Like, you go on eBay, it's always possible sale prices are someone selling to themselves and just paying the transaction fee. I hope/assume that's fairly widely understood.

The Luna "automatic peg" stuff is genuinely clever, but with genuinely surprising implications (at least for me, a casual observer/layperson) for dynamic instability.
Apologies if it seemed I was insulting those Kreplachistanis, their beer or their guns. My intention was to lament their involvement with "Tachyum" and the credibility sacrifice they're making in the service of the opposite.
If you've seen much DALL-E 2 output, it's pretty obvious they can learn such things.

Actually, the Twitter stuff emphasized just the opposite - even after the board agreed to the sale, a majority of shareholders (well, specifically, a majority of the voting power as determined by shares) still had to agree. And because they did, Musk is on track to own Twitter.

Facebook also demonstrates it - Zuckerberg and a few others (many of whom have given him voting power on their behalf) own 'Class B' stock, which is worth 10 votes (and thus could reasonably be treated as each share being worth 10 of Class A shares). What is sold to everyone else is 'Class A' stock worth 1 vote. Despite owning fewer stock shares, then, Zuckerberg has more votes and thus has effective majority control.

You mention due to stock tiering, but that's just it, those tiers don't remove votes, or even owning a share of the company (your stock still does), it just ensures that majority control stays in the company's control. It doesn't change the claim that stock shares = shares in the company. It just changes the percentage each stock is of the company, so it's not as simple as 1 stock = 1/(# of outstanding shares) control, but it still is (100% stock) = (100% control), and (X% of voting power from stock) = (X% of control).
Interesting, I've had the opposite experience. I'd love to develop in native with something like Flutter or React Native, but I find CSS to be much easier and more flexible to use. The base components always /seem/ flexible enough until I want to do something visually complicated like add an animation that blurs an image on hover. I know CSS is horrendous in consistency, but it's piecemeal development has led to it having every UI feature I could really want/need now that I've paid the price and met its learning curve.
I love the idea of specifying a data structure to describe your program's inputs and generating different ways to enter that data.

So far I've seen CLI entry with Cobra, TUI with Boa, and Config file reader with Viper. Who knows, maybe someone will implement HTML or REST API generators next?

I'm writing my own Cobra alternative [1] so I can generate input methods "from the ground up" so I really enjoy seeing how others approach this problem, especially because my baby arrived early so my time is now much more limited :D

From the original article:

> Whether that claim can be meaningfully sold on to someone else is outside the scope of this discussion.

Okay, at least the author is upfront about this, but this is literally the only technical reason to use a blockchain. This is a bit like saying "send e-cash to anyone without a central authority or a blockchain (whether this e-cash can be double-spent is outside the scope of this discussion)."

If all you want is some evidence that you donated to an artist, the artist can just list all the donors on a website they control. YouTubers often put lists of donors in their videos. You don't even need cryptography (beyond the boring stuff that prevents unauthorized access to web resources).
A lot of people are doing the same a my org.

Unfortunately, we have a number of visualization tools, and while various remote desktop technologies work, they are still not as good as running on a local PC.

Not to mention that sometimes you are in the field, and there is simply no good internet around. But this happens much less now ever since COVID.

This is a bit of a "why dropbox when i can rsync" comment.

Tesla brought glamour and practicality to a field stymied by boredom and theoretical concerns. They pledged to build an EV people would actually want to use, bringing all the latest tech to drive UX with no regard for tradition. They set to solve consumer problems, and they are succeeding in doing that.
Yeah, at risk of sounding brash, I do think you should "get over it" as your main priority is to sell items, not to build a well-structured website in HTML. The latter is ancillary, merely a means to an end.
Aside from that 3.93 is slightly less than 4, it's odd that both employees were in their current position for the same amount of time. I.e. they were part of the same cohort. What was Twitter doing in June-ish 2018 that resulted in them hiring multiple people in key roles? Was there an expansion, or a re-org, or executive turn-over?

Or just overfitting two data points?
If the odds are obviously against you its not useful ofc.
If you think there is a 50% chance you lose everything then you should also see a 50% chance that you make over 100% profit if that is not realistic its probably not the right thing.

As an employee, or potential employee, you can always request a contract that guarantees employment for a certain period, or immediately vests all options upon termination. Most employers would only agree to such terms for the most valuable employees.
A similar issue arises in aviation.

In the cockpit, airspeed and altitude used to be presented on a dial like a watch (one hand in the case of airspeed, two hands or even three in the case of altitude).

In modern cockpits with screens, they could be presented like that, or just as numbers, but they are presented as infinite bands that move up and down. One sees the number on it, but also perceives movement (and how fast it moves) "out of the corner of an eye". Maybe it combines the advantages of both.

See here, for example, for both styles: https://www.flight-mechanic.com/pitot-static-pressure-sensin...

I wonder what studies were made regarding this design.
> they were mostly moving to languages like Python and JS which adopted Lisp's most appealing ideas, not to C++.

Heh hey. Popping me some popcorn.
Yeah, I'm not arguing alignment is not possible - but that we don't know how to do it and it's really important that we figure it out before we figure out AGI (which seems unlikely).

The ant example is just to try to illustrate the spectrum of intelligence in a way more people may understand (rather than just thinking of smart person and dumb person as the entirety of the spectrum). In the case of a true self-improving AGI the delta is probably much larger than that between an ant and a human, but at least the example makes more of the point (at least that was my goal).

The other common mistake is people think intelligence implies human-like thinking or goals, but this is just false. A lot of bad arguments from laypeople tend to be related to this because they just haven't read a lot about the problem.
Only makes sense if Tesla becomes something else other than a car manufacturer (robots, robotaxis, etc).

If it's just about EVs they should soon be priced below Ford. Even self-driving is insufficient as long as a driver needs to pay attention. Other companies are catching up - who cares if they need more hardware and can't do just vision, it's becoming cheaper.
The B2B market is the classic rational actor economy, B2C is not.
computation is just one technique to solve problems. we should also invest in our god-talkers, who may be able to use divination or offerings to accomplish the same goals.
I really enjoy comments that wax along without taking a stance on anything other than trying to derail the discussion with "what people think" rather than having thoughts myself. Very amusing.
Yes, for now it is not needed.

The Canadian truckers didn't have bank accounts for a moment (maybe still ongoing). As financial prosecution, eventually algorithmically (have you seen on the threads on HN recently about people getting permabanned from various services for seemingly no reason?) ramps up, and CDBC rolls out...

There is no constitutional guarantee for the freedom to use payment networks so this inevitably will be used as leverage for compliance with anything governments/national banks want

It was Canadian truckers yesterday, Russians today - are we so naive to think it will be nobody tomorrow? Or are we ok with the exiling of people from society as long as its somebody we don't like?

"Their" is grammatically plural, even though what it refers to may be singular, plural, or neither (or, in some cases, may be unknown). "You" is also grammatically plural, even though what it refers to may be singular, plural, or neither. (Singular they seems to be from the 14th century, so it isn't really new.)
It's true that there's a lot we don't know. Executive employment contracts are bespoke and quite different to peon contracts. There will be various incentives that might be cash or incentivized stock options ("ISOs") as well as regular compensation that might be RSUs, non-qualified stock options ("NSOs") or both.

But we do know:

1. The acquisition is imminent but not closed;

2. Executive contracts often include bonuses on acquisition and/or accelerations for change of control;

3. There are numerous examples of companies cleaning house to avoid payouts prior to an acquisition closing;

4. Generally a company on the verge of a likely acquisition just keeps the lights on and doesn't make any big moves so things like hiring freezes make sense; and

5. The circumstancial evidence that both executives just happen to be shy of their 4 year anniversary (in their current roles).

Conclusive? No. Kinda sus? Absolutely.
I also believe there would also be a large segment of the US that finds these "job-finding/bragging echo chamber" Twitter posts cringeworthy regardless of context. They appear oddly performative and obligatory. Stay tuned for the follow up "I'm incredibly excited to announce that today I am joining ___" post.

Break it up by time. As an example split... say you wanted to build a dashboard in a week. Use three days for research and four days for executing. Look up immediate blocking problems during your execution phase, but stay at a granular level.

Doing good research is a great quality though!
There is also the RI marketplace, they can probably sell overcapacity there even if their direct customers don't have any need for additional capacity.
I'm assuming the TOS you originally agreed to had a clause that is something like "we can unilaterally change this." So, you could I guess check the TOS when you are making an account, and only use sites that don't have a clause like this. Likely this will significantly reduce you selection of social media sites... this just seems to me to indicate that investing too much effort into improving social media communities is not a worthwhile endeavor (or, maybe you find it to be a fun hobby, so just do it for fun and don't expect any payback).

Realistically most sites want to exploit people like you.
