This is the opposite of a YotLD problem, it's because Linux users do not usually participate in automatic updates that they consider this a problem. Windows and macOS and Android and iOS are all automatically updated and nudge users into updating more frequently than automatically.

I only have a bachelor’s degree, but I’ve worked in research labs and read a lot of papers. I’ve always thought it was silly that all data, design documents, and code is not published as a standard. Is it just protocol from a time when it was more difficult to share data and designs? In the modern era, why shouldn’t research colleges and journals maintain a digital database of data, design documents, and code?
Thanks Brent ;)

I would coin this "the cost of non-free". Many SaaS contracts are open to bait and switch by exploiting vendor lock-in. Just as gitlab did when they removed a pricing tier a while back.
At least with that the note has intrinsic value, theoretically.
I had a boss who was very sensitive to the fact that most meetings have several agendas, that half of the team doesn't give a shit about a third of the agenda, and so if you let the wrong people start talking first, then the entire team sits there for an hour when they are only interested in 15 minutes out of that hour (often at the end). So you start with the things everyone cares about and work your way down the list.

The upside/downside to this is that you can't filibuster on something that matters to you but nobody else cares about, because they already left the room before you started. But of course neither can any of the other people who think their hill is as valuable as yours.
If they add multi-monitor support, I would probably end up using it as my everything device, and just RDP into my workstation for development.
This is interesting because, if AGI does require embodiment it will be subject to much stronger physical limitations than present “digital-only” approaches are.

To fully experience a human-centric world an agent will need a body not too different from humans, and will have all kinds of interesting power and weight constraints, and only be able to handle a certain volume of processing hardware. Thus they might not be as uncontrollably god-like as skynet.

So the key question seems to be whether they are individual agents or networked.
Home factories are generally quite local to the place the house is being assembled as the transportation cost skyrockets the more assembly done. Usually if you have to transport more than a few hundred km the cost savings are wiped out.
OP asks for a use, I provided. You say it is not a use, it’s “what it does.” Yes, it’s exactly what it does? That’s what it’s being used for.
Completely agreed, but I guess this just doesn't click with some people as well as it did with me (empirically).
No it's not fine, this is just another coercion and consolidation of power where it shouldn't belong. Independent entities cannot innovate on their own because now there's a central apparatus that decides what should be innovated and how, with all the inherent political power struggles of big players, good luck.

imo, "I told you so" is a reductive and toxic comment most of the time. It's analogous to rubbing a dogs nose in urine and thinking that'll have some beneficial effect. It doesn't and just makes you look mean-spirited.
If we are physical beings, and CPUs can simulate physics, then a CPU can experience everything that we experience, including "qualia".

Do you think we're metaphysical beings, or that physics are beyond the capacity of a CPU to simulate?

This is really neat. Recently I explored similar functionality for relational databases and only got as far as implementing column-level encryption [0] in this Go library [1], but without support for querying the encrypted data. HashiCorp Vault's transit secrets engine supports Convergent Encryption [2] which provides limited ability to query the encrypted data, but I haven't yet experimented with it. If anyone is doing something like this in production, would love to hear about your experience.

Good old punch cards. Betcha miss those, too, huh from when you learned programming in the 1960s?
Lower demand causes lower inflation, lower demand is indicative of Fed tightening. Higher inflation often goes hand in hand with higher demand. Don't reason from a price change.

You're going to be really disappointed to hear how most fintech startups, and non-startups, and non-fintech software companies, and non-startup companies, operate then.

Yeah its bad, but lets not act like the bar was ever high to begin with.
This is a great idea. I grew up with AppleBASIC, which had line numbers, but after decades coding with many other languages, there’s no reason to use line numbers. And if the purpose of this repl is to teach, then teaching line number programming in 2022 is pointless.

Unfortunately it then requires an editor, otherwise how do you overwrite/change a line?
This is why we can't get anything done. Everyone has a million other ideas on where this $100B should go and they would all be right.

That shouldn't ever be the argument because you can argue about the exact peice of fecundity that the dollar value can have until you are blue in the face on X, Y, Z projects.

When it comes to government spending, my reactions seems to be the opposite of most. I actually think that these big audacious projects is the only use for government. Fund big things that individually and within the private market would never be a thing. Do Hubble, Do LHC++, do scientific exploration missions because that is what makes you proud to be part of what is going on around you. That sense of inspiration in the air of progress is all that is required for a functioning society.

What really surprises me is that there seems to be no standard to geocode an audio file. A photo can contain coordinates in the EXIF tag but for audio there is no such thing as a far as I know. I have been looking for a voice recorder that could do that. I think it would be really useful for personal notes. But have come up empty.
I have a secure, self custodial note right here: it's called cash.
The main trick is to turn "facts" that exist in your head or possibly in a program's address space into something more concrete/searchable/discoverable, like a log line, source comment, manual entry, etc.

Otherwise, your database of 'facts' and 'values' will inevitably become out of date if you try to maintain it out of band.
>The mushrooms in the figure masked as some ungulate are the hands, maybe shaped like hoofs

That would explain the bottom two but it doesn't the top two. The alternative is to take it more literally and see them as attached to the upper arm and upper thigh. I'm also not overwhelmingly convinced that they represent mushrooms though.

Nothing illustrates this quite like the task that is marked as 'half a week' and some manager doesn't understand why you can't do two of those in the same week.

I want an implicitly parallel programming language. Write code that looks single threaded, doesn't have any mutex/spawn/channel stuff in it, that runs on one core locally or the nearby cluster with the same behaviour and lower wall clock time.
In my experience, you should be applying at small to medium-sized companies that are not tech companies. There's a ton of work in these companies and hiring is more focused on solving business problems than answering brainteasers in interviews.

The majority of states in the US considers killing a pregnant woman the same as killing two people (assuming it doesn't happen during an abortion). This is consistent with the existing laws in most states.

Using a gun even if another person is unarmed can be justified. If somebody is trying to kill you, you have a right to defend yourself. If you have a gun then you can use it. If somebody was unarmed, trying to kill you, while you are holding a bat would you find it acceptable to use the bat to defend yourself? If you would defend yourself then a gun is no different. If you would not then we disagree on the concept of self defense and don't think we are going to agree on anything high level when we can't agree on the core principles.
>Gates himself has strenuously denied making the comment. In a newspaper column that he wrote in the mid-1990s, Gates responded to a student's question about the quote: "I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time." Later in the column, he added, "I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again."

First up: talk to a lawyer, not HN.

But ... as the name suggests, the primary function of an LLC is to make the company subject to liability, not the owner. So if the company is sued and loses, you don't personally have to go through bankruptcy, lose your house, etc.

For any sort of significant online activity, it's definitely worth considering what you might be exposed to. If you can afford it, do it up front. IANAL, etc.

I used both Lightning and USB-C cables, I had two Lightning cables dying from oxidation (not misuse in water or anything, normal use) and not a single USB-C problem so far.

Calling Lightning superior is blatant Apple fanboyism.

Welcome to the New Database Era
Yours doesn't hold for hardware either. MacBooks are comparable and competitive to PC laptops, but it's only your opinion that they are superior.

Having used a few different models of MacBook over the last decade for work, and owning a few different models of Thinkpads over the same timeframe, I'd take the Thinkpad any day of the week. From the annoyingly either hot or cold all-metal case to the floating ground problem triggering shocks when using the fold-out wall connector, MacBooks are inferior in my book. But that is also only my opinion.
When I was 21, my gf at the time was teaching applied stats and research methodology etc to a batch of 30-something MD's who were planning to get PhD's. She was struggling a bit with the maths, so I had to read her book and train her in the curriculum.

The maths was quite a bit easier than what I was used to from pre-graduate physics, so I found it mostly a fun diversion. (I also learned some concepts that have been useful later, since I only did mathematical stats, not applied stats myself).

But even with this course, I would be worried about the ability of many of these doctors, even after a PhD to do a proper critical reading of a research paper. Indirectly this methodology would encourage p-hacking, and from memory, there was not much training in using judgment to see through such activity. And I don't remember if there were any domain-specific training in analysis beyond "statistically significant, P(H0)<0.05", such as calculating confidence intervals from effect sizes, in terms of medical prognosis, reductions in expected lifetime, etc.

And THESE would be expected to be the experts.

And for doctors WITHOUT this training, I think they have severe trouble digesting an original research paper themselves, which would leave them even more at the mercy of the advertising branches of Big Pharma.
Likely yes, although the article [1] says that's required, not sufficient.

[1] well, the title, in the grand HN tradition I haven't of course actually read the article.
I think you are misunderstanding something about security or typescript...
Yes break down into small goals with rewards for yourself at completion of each goal. Depending on your long-term timeline then having goals that are reached weekly or monthly makes sense (but don't tie them to dates but rather to completing objectives). Then, have a larger reward for yourself for completing the long-term goal.
It seems more straightforward to me in cases of imagery, where there is less room for ambiguity. How different does a voice have to sound to not "be" another person's voice? I believe the laws on the books today are intended to deal explicitly with the actual person's voice recorded by some microphone. I think once you move into the realm of "this is a voice, generated from a model trained on audio samples of some person's voice" then it becomes unclear whether existing laws apply. If you further add into the equation that some models are trained on several speakers then it gets even muddier I think. If you advertise "this is person X" then I think it becomes problematic, but for different reasons, since at that point you're using the persons' name to advertise your product.

IDK what you mean about biometric data being protected. I'm pretty sure there's no law stopping me from pulling your fingerprint off of a coffee mug you left at Starbucks, creating a high resolution scan of it, and posting it at godmode2019-fingerprint.com

EDIT: after some quick Googling it looks like there are some biometric privacy laws on the books in certain U.S. states that would prevent something like godmode2019-fingerprint.com, but it does not appear to be comprehensive across the US. Not sure about other countries.
Why would you read it as that? It's clearly not "mature" as in "doesn't need to change much", but it seems like they're seriously committed to quality assurance and testing and stuff you generally don't associate with beta software.

You don't get to write off all software that's not super compatible with some distros' packaging models as "beta software".

Are you suggesting that Tesla's FSD bears any relation to AGI?
Maybe in the short term, but it's become clear from this conflict that Russia uses its economic exports as political leverage-- as does any nation.

The problem comes from what they've decided to use their exports as leverage for.

Economic interests don't have to perfectly align for one nation's relationship and favor to be preferable over another.

Economic interests don't exist in a space devoid of cultural, ideological, or emotional ones.

Reaching the conclusion that relationships should be normalized is only truly ideal if you're viewing it: A) in an economic only vacuum and B) from a lens of maximizing Russia's resource based leverage, because that's all they have.
Yeah... JS/node/electron - I could do with far less of these things in my life, not more - especially when it comes to security vulnerabilities.
Many (including myself) consider abortion to be murder even before fetal viability.

> Outside of religious circles there's very little debate about this

Do you live in the US or Canada? Almost every other country, including almost all of highly secular Western Europe, bans abortion before at no later than 17 weeks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law).
I actually love the choice and the separation. And when an innovation good enough appears on a platform, it is quickly copied on the others (reactions…)
Is your point that since there exist a standard which occurred without government intervention, then the government should never intervene to create any standards?
There are no technological tricks and very few sociological tricks that can cause an immature person to act like an adult.

And the older I get, the more I realize that thinking that such a thing exists is its own kind of immaturity.
Eh? I’m not surprised that AI researchers are not informed about the philosophy of mind, and I doubt that they need to be in order to do their work. But the quale is an important concept and just assuming it doesn’t exist because AI researchers don’t need it is a bit silly.
You're being quite dismissive of a very real question. Where does our subjective experience come from? If there was an AGI with human-level intelligence, would it have its own subjective experience? How could we possibly know (either way)?

For that matter, does a brain have a subjective experience, or is it just the substrate on which a mind runs?
Embodiment can be virtual. It can learn about place & environment & physicality through simulation. Ref: wikipedia page[1] on embodied cognition. I tend to think about embodiment as being about sensorial systems, things that can perceive an environment, have capabilities to act or move or alter the environment about them.

At some point it might help to have real world physical manifestations. But for a long time we can kind of explore virtual bodies. Even when we do make robots with bodies, I expect their "brain" is likely to remain in the cloud. The bodies could act more like appendages or peripherals. But it would be interesting & I think valuable to start developing a physical sense of self.

Anyone know any good sci-fi that touches upon this? Ancillary Justice has a neat AI (multi-)"character".

It depends a lot on what you are trying to do. But generally, make a plan on how to get from where you are to where you want to be. Break it down into chunks that you can accomplish and reward yourself as you accomplish them. You also need someone that can hold you accountable. Many people will say yes but long term it's impossible for someone to stay interested with you. I suggest you find a paid professional to consult regularly, that will help you stay on point, if you can.

People balk at paying someone but most people need someone to be accountable to. Otherwise they go into a never ending cycle of starting and never accomplishing their goals.
