I remember when this startup came out, all the VCs, angel investors and tech founders were singing songs of praises (and raises) about how this was going to disrupt email and gating the product an 'exclusive' access to a waitlist.

I find it sus when VCs have to keep overhyping their portfolio companies, especially when they don't even make money.

Anyway, I checked it out and found that this really isn't novel at all (a meeting to use an email client? really?). Just classic marketing and hype to get you to use the product.
Anyone can plainly see footage of M1147 AMP and compare it against any footage of the Carl Gustav 84mm and see that the firepower is incomparable.

I don't need experience to see the difference between the two weapons. Speed, penetration, range, accuracy. Completely incomparable.

Tanks were shooting 3000m in the 80s and have probably gotten better. Carl Gustav needs laser guidance for 2000m and even then is still outranged by decades old tanks.
Good question. I haven't read it, but the statistics come from this book: https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/the-other-.... They probably outline their methodology.

> Rust's stackless async support is suitable for systems like microcontrollers, and the design reflects that.

This is the argument you hear, but how does it play out in practice? I don't know of any async runtimes that don't use Arcs, you can't use the async trait crate (boxed futures=allocations) and you don't have the escape hatches needed (Arcs) when you get too deep in type-hell. To this day, I haven't heard any embedded folks praise async Rust. I'm by no means an embedded expert, but if I were to do embedded I'd likely go with a plain old event loop to be safe.

Getting zero-cost (static only) stackless async was a huge flex, and I'm very impressed with the proof of concept. I'm just wondering whether it actually targeted the intended demographic.

No. People have been bellyaching about technology replacing humans literally through all of history. Computers, automation, industrial revolution, what have you. Hunter gatherers were probably complaining about how agriculture was going to make people obsolete too.

You can certainly reject whatever you want but don't fool yourself into thinking you're accomplishing anything.

I think the competitive moat is performance. Superhuman is fast. None of the incumbent clients are incentivized to care about perf.

Are they even competitors? You need a GApps/Office/OtherProvider account to use Superhuman. Superhuman is a value add on top of Gmail/Outlook.

That’s the issue here. When you don’t have unlimited money, you cut spend on value add and use the basics. Superhuman is a luxury product.
To pun this out — such shellfish animals end up so crabby in the end.

That's searching for specific types of shops, which is different from looking for film. (Your second search is also meh, including truly only 1 relevant result)

> if you want a store that sells film, you need a keyword combination that would appear on their website; not a vague question

Do you suspect "camera stores" in Los Angeles include neither the words "film" nor "Los Angeles" on their sites?

All my keywords are found in every first page Google result ("

In context, 4chan can be a useful toy to teach about ideology. Ideology is any belief system where the fundamental ideas are defended with insults, censorship, and threats. There are many banned ideologies on display on 4chan that are disallowed on other platforms where they are exclusively countered with insults, threats and censorship.

Without criticism and challenge by other ideological belief systems, mainstream liberal ideology can easily fall into things like Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union. That was a politically enforced non-belief in genetics in plants. Lysenko believed for example that plants could change species by being exposed to cold temperatures. Stalin was a fan, so everyone that criticized Lysenko was persecuted until finally the Soviets came to their senses after years of poor agricultural performance and failed experiments. There are a lot of these types of ideologically unquestionable beliefs in the west. That you probably already know what they are shows how deep and obvious the defects are.
> But it still poses the question: What makes the crab shape so successful that species keep trying to emulate it?

That's not how evolution works. Survival of the fittest isn't about aspiration. It's what's left when the fittest are left standing.

It isn't ideal bringing politics into this, but in my opinion it isn't possible to discuss it without.

This is a political distraction designed to distract BOTH sides (pro & anti Tory government). It is working fantastically since people are discussing this rather than the PM committing crimes, getting caught, and then changing the ethics code to avoid resignation (and multiple no confidence letters from back-benchers).

Ultimately this is a consultation with no teeth. Industry are against it since it will add significant cost and regulatory problems, and with the UK already struggling under Brexit importation issues, it would be very self-destructive. It only really appeals to a very old, very pro-Tory demographic, that is rapidly disappearing.

But again this is all a political distraction, they will do this consultation, milk it as much as they can, and then pocket it. Or just make it officially optional which nobody will utilize but have some technicality they can point to.
This is poorly written in stream of consciousness. Insurance companies and CMS make the irrelevant questions necessary. They also dictate how long one actually has to spend with a patient without losing money.

When you arrive at a hospital with a fever, I sure hope you have a doctor to help you figure out whether it is a deadly bacterial infection, malignancy, autoimmune, or just a common virus.

There are many things that medical science doesn’t understand, but that doesn’t mean that doctors aren’t trying.

In this particular case I knew because we're all from the same state. The Brahmins from the state wear a sacred thread, and on occasions will smear ash on their foreheads in a particular pattern. One would wear the thread visibly outside his shirt. You can also know based on the last name, skin tone (very light compared to other South indians) and office gossip fills in the rest. One of the VPs mentioned his caste in an after hours drinks party once, I was amused but not shocked.
> And if they still suffer discrimination, shouldn't we as a society try to fix that?

Sure, the US society should strive to eliminate caste-based discrimination occurring in the US.

But that it occurs in India does not mean that it’s been carried forward in the US.

A history of discrimination leading to a disadvantaged position today, and as a result needing additional support, is a separate problem — an argument for affirmative action — but ultimately is nothing different than all the other classes of peoples who’ve been fucked by history struggling to find security in the US (that is, any solution to the problem is not really particular to Indians, or the caste-system).
> As a society we can reject this technology.

I don't see a lot of precedent for this. I actually can't think of one example where society has rejected a useful technology.

I believe that affluent people will pay more for artisinal/organic/human-created things. But the majority of the world without disposable income will choose cheaper over human. Even if human-made is better. Especially if AI-made is better.

It's true that AI will replace humans as the most powerful intelligence on earth. But it's a wave that there is no plausible way to stop. As long as there are groups that seek to gain economic or military advantage over each other, people will push this technology along. It's as much of an inevitability as any other stage of evolution.

Yes caste discrimination exists to various extants. You may not have seen it as most people who come abroad as professionals are "higher" castes who were historically economically and educationally privileged though this is changing slowly - not unlike how the impact of slavery and segregation is still quite obvious in people of color communities in the US.

Surnames and to a much lesser extent skin color/facial features indicate caste quite easily to people who have grown up in India. Often castes / surnames were historically also linked to professions which followed down family.

In fact in early medeival Europe too surnames historically indicated profession (Smith, Wright, Cooper, Ward, Chamberlain, Shoemaker...) but I believe the major labor shortage and dislocations caused by the black death and frequent warfare requiring conscription across all social classes pretty much ended any likelihood of social rigidity coming out of this. It will be interesting to see though how the capital and political power accumulation by the wealthier Americans plays out over the next few centuries.

In India, the way society developed was to restrict warfare largely to be carried out by certain upper castes and for most of the society, it didn't really matter who the ruling king was - at least until late medieval periods when proselytization started with Islamic invasion. So the caste system developed into something deep rooted, pernicious and divisive.

Interestingly in India, while Christianity and Islam don't have castes in theory, in practice it is commonly observed that their adherents too observe such distinctions which tells you how deep rooted the problem is.

Specifically to the community of the activist, the Dalits were actually considered to be "people with no caste" historically and were treated as "untouchables". Very likely they were the people who got the wrong side of the stick during the Aryan invasion ~3000 years ago which forms the basis of much of Hindu culture though there are obvious deep rooted integrations from the pre-existing pre-invasion culture (Shiva, Durga etc..) likely from the people who were integrated into the Aryan society.

You don't really see "untouchability" today especially in urban largely as a result of efforts of freedom movement era social reformers like Gandhi and Ambedkar followed by "vote bank politics" in the nascent democracy. Some communities also stopped using surnames. However i still recall when we were very young, our great grand parents generation still observed some of the discriminatory structures. So it has taken a couple of generations to get rid of untouchability - ie parents who saw discrimination as children but don't practice it raising children who understand it but haven't seen it raising kids who only know of it intellectually). It will probably take a couple more to eliminate caste discrimination but we are half way there.
Ask people how they think their work contribute to the cash flow of the company. Ask them to consider what impact them not working would have on the cash flow. If their salary is greater than the income their work generate, then their work is actually not beneficial to the company. If they interrupt people who do have a positive impact on cash flow (unnecessary meetings) then it is even worse.
Hmm.. AI trained political messaging seems right around the corner.
For example, if we as a society refuse to use self-driving cars, we can make the industry unprofitable. Society says, "No, this is not the kind of product we want" and capitalism works to starve the harmful industry.
> you forget that the human had to predict that the combination of two would be interesting for other humans, and then construct the prompt, possibly selecting the best pictures. That's who did most of the work here

If the Twitter user claimed that the text prompts themselves were generated by asking GPT-3 for "An interesting sequence of text prompts to feed an image generation AI" or something like that, I would have believed them.

Presumptively, I imagine it's harder to create a model that generates images matching a certain human-language input prompt than to create an image generation model with no language component and have it pick its own scenarios internally. I don't think the former is done to palm off "most of the work" to humans, but rather because people want an easy way to see create own ideas so there's more demand for it.

> You have to re-train it from scratch every time you want it to remember something truly new, there's no feedback loop to do that.

As far as I'm aware, this isn't true. Deep learning is perfectly compatible with fine-tuning an existing model using new data. OpenAI/MS have been doing this with Codex to improve it based on Copilot telemetry and code from new languages/libraries.

I work with these systems all day, every day, and these new systems are qualitatively different. These new transformer systems have crossed a line and its easy to see how they will threaten human dignity. This technology crosses a line. It's like atomic weapons. This is the commoditization of the human mind.

No, the unstoppable force here is the imperative that every organization must keep up with its peers to survive. Just to simplify by keeping it in the realm of business, if only one company adopts an advantageous technology, all other companies are forced to find a way to keep up, get ahead, or leave the field. The ratchet effect is inexorable. It can only be tweaked and maybe guided, not stopped.

Not trying to make it ad-hominem, but are you from a race/gender that is the majority in your workplace?

I think many people feel like you...the problem is that some races / gender receive discrimination that the majority might not see.

If we take it to gender, a male might have never received any sexual harassment in his entire life and so might think it's a waste of time to talk about this in the workplace (spoiler: it's not). If a minority of the people in the office are women, maybe a majority of people will feel talking about sexual harassment is a waste of time.

There’s a common problem of software design where people believe they need to put their logic and their IO together, and not only is that not true, but it screws up testing, scalability, and feature evolution when you do.

A language that punishes you for not keeping your IO separate? Well, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Often when I find people complaining about how hard something is, I find out they’re trying to ice skate uphill, and if they backed up a second and took some advice they wouldn’t be struggling so much.
What problem are they addressing? They are jumping on American current events to make some laws that are not relevant for canada or Canadian current events, in order to score political points.

My 2013 honeymoon was a four-week, 7000-mile loop from Seattle down the Pacific coast and back up through the Rockies. We were in a Honda Fit and camped about 60% of the nights, usually at a NFS or NPS campground when possible. We passed through the majority of the National Parks in the western states, including the Grand Canyon and Glacier.

I planned the entire route in Google Maps (“My maps”) and then used a highlighter to trace it out on a paper road atlas because I didn’t own a smartphone at the time. We used interstate highways sparingly. The only time we almost lost our way was while trying to find a primitive campground high above Death Valley on some unpaved NFS roads.
