Also memory is muscle, you can train it. Personally I think all children should spend a couple of years before proper schooling developing a photographic memory. It would make life so much easier.

But check out the 'method of loci' too https://www.amazon.co.uk/Method-Loci-Russell-Jesse/dp/550855... you can improve your memory to the point where it becomes photographic/editic.
Good point about the temp swings. I just meant physically moving and installing the equipment plus running cables from the flat landing site up the slope.
One (okay, two) can also create new humans which have human-level intelligence and are sometimes difficult to predict and control. Many such humans have been known to use their intelligence to do extremely dangerous and harmful things.
> "yes, but this is fundamental science..." → yes it is, but where does this fundamental science helps in everyday problems? Have we had a case where the Higgs boson changed anything in our life?

God, people like you are the worst. You never know when something could be useful in the future and I think the assumption that fundamentally understanding the universe will never be useful is just absurdly ridiculous. But that's the besides the point, because understanding these things has value in and of itself simply for the fact that people are curious! Is it worth $X billion? That's a different question. But to say it's worthless is just absolute nonsense.
> Am I forgetting anything?

Yes, the words "most" and "pockets of sheer insanity." I am not so simple-minded as to view an entire agency as a single, atomic entity. I recognize what they do well and am one of the harshest critics of what they do poorly, especially when the results are death. This is something I hoped I had conveyed in my original post.
The law and commentary (at least in Australia) talks about monopoly a lot, you're right. I just don't think it has the same meaning in IP (which is concerned with implementations) as it does in common usage (which is concerned with markets). If IP was done properly (it isn't) Qualcomm wouldn't have a monopoly on cell phone chips - they'd have a monopoly on one specific, non obvious way of doing chips that they had developed (and they'd only have it for a fixed time window).

It's semantics but I think the word monopoly is both sensitive and overloaded. This is actually a discussion we had during my law degree, but obviously different countries have different particulars and the point I'm trying to make here is more philosophical than legal.
> Of course not, since the first one costs a couple of dollars, the second one tens of dollars,

Of course yes.

If the industry was stupid enough to put all of this behind a single plug, then single cable it is. Because pretty much every consumer who has more than one USB3/C cable is dead tired of "oh. This combo doesn't work, let me root for the other cables"

I bought a Windows license and successfully activated WIN10 ARM running in Parallels.
Not GP. I'm not sure if there's a special Compaq version but there's a version (until Windows 2000, https://winworldpc.com/download/5204c39d-c3a9-5a68-11c3-a7c2...) for NEC PC-98 architecture which is x86-based but IBM PC-incompatible, so it's likely that a Compaq version exists.

THe connector has nothing to do with the efficiency of the psu.
This is a good point - and also not just is it POSSIBLE to do - but is it easy?

Say you archive hours and hours and hours of footage and photographs in JPEG XL and then in 5 years the industry moves on to something completely different (maybe even worse in terms of specs) like the beta vs VHS thing. In 20 years it will surely be possible to decode those JPEG XL files but if you just want to send one to a friend and they have to jump through hoops to view it then it becomes a pretty big pain in the butt.
That's a different question though and they were not arguing that point at all. Their claim was that it had no value unless it was useful and that it's not useful, both parts of which are clearly false. Is its value worth $100 is another topic (the actual topic of this post I supposed.)
> The whole forehead-slapping moment of cables that didn't need to be flipped was a pretty big divergence from the USB-A, -B, mini B, micro B, etc. that has prevailed previously.

It's weird; cable orientation was (and still is) a big problem with USB-A, but not because having to deal with orientation is a problem that needs to be solved. Orientation is not a problem, at all, with USB-B, mini-B, or micro-B. The own goal in USB-A was delivering a connnector that is sensitive to orientation at the same time that it's visually symmetrical. There was no need to make the connector insensitive to orientation. It would have made at least as much sense to make the asymmetry visible, the way every other connector does.
If you take this line of thinking far enough you get to enactivism: "a position in cognitive science that argues that cognition arises through a dynamic interaction between an acting organism and its environment."

Great article.

One aspect that was left unaddressed and would be interesting to dive deeper is how containers create new ecosystems. This is true particularly in deep waters, where most lost stuff is reclaimed by the ocean, eventually becoming home for fish, and habitats where there was none.
> A user is free to use a device with USB-C right now

No they cannot use it with certain devices. Which is what the legislation is for. Then they will have that ability with all devices in the EU.

Apple is also free to make devices doing whatever they want, and sell them in a different country.

> Should the EU force companies to make that?

Apple isn't forced to make anything. They can simply of their own choosing, leave that market. It is their choice to sell to that market, and they can feel free to leave if they don't like the official representatives of the EU using their official power to legislate.

All these arguments about choice are ignoring that it is the choice of the EU to control its own market, and it is Apple's choice to sell there. They are free to leave if they don't like the laws that the lawmakers create.

Nice theory but:

1) If AGI is possible, it will happen no matter what international treaties are in place.

2) AGI could do an unimaginable amount of good if it is benevolent. It seems a bit premature to stop all research just because you have a bad hunch about it.
It's not that the computation is physical that matters- it's the feedback and interaction from the world at human scales that a physical form would provide. The assumption is that anchoring an AGI to our scale will lead to human-scale perception and solutions.
I regularly print my whole keepass DB on paper and I keep it in safe (fireproof) place. I never had to use it, but knowing it exists eases me a lot. I highly encourage you to do the same.

> There is currently no legal way, from a licensing standpoint, to have an ARM build running on a device that Microsoft does not have an existing agreement with.

That appears to be incorrect[0]:

> Fortunately, they had something to share later, again through an official Microsoft spokesperson (that faceless PR-driven process where press or analysts can ask Microsoft for an official response to a question). A lengthy Twitter thread on the topic[1] (driven by a new ARM64-based mini-desktop computer that ships with Windows 11 but without a license — until that was changed by the manufacturer of the device to say that it did indeed include a license) pointed to a blog post from Wes Miller[2], an analyst and licensing expert with Directions on Microsoft[3]. That post included this quote:

>> Yes customers can use retail copies to run Windows 10/11 on Macs, including ARM Macs. The Windows retail EULA does not have any use rights restrictions on the type of device you install Windows on. Note that the EULA does stipulate that not all versions of Windows are supported on all device types, so theoretically customers could run into compatibility issues with performance & support case by case, but this is not a licensing restriction. Customers can find more details on compatibility at https://aka.ms/minhw.

Maybe make $1000 in revenue to prove you’ve got something worth the time/cost of filing LLC paperwork and then talk to a lawyer. I believe for the most part taxes are the same here in the US since it’s pass thru, but same thing, consult a professional.
From my understanding, in most places in USA ATC is provided by private enterprises contracted for the role, not as civil service - a direct effect of the Reagan crackdown.

This has interesting knock on effects, for example if private company ATC fucks up and gives you bad information, you don't have much in terms of options for example to dispute charges that you deliberately violated a presidential no fly zone.
The deepfaked ones actually speak.
No, I bought a license and Windows activated itself running in Parallels. What is the risk?

This is just not true. Denmark and Italy use their own plugs; Ireland, Malta, and Cyprus use the British plug; and the heart of the EU is divided between French-style and Schuko plugs. (Switzerland, though outside the EU, also uses its own plugs.)

As I understand it, EU moves to standardise plugs failed in the 90s.
Oof, thank you for the feedback. We certainly don't want that happening. We'll look into adding greater transparency that works for our model so you can make a better informed decision upfront.

I think the chat analogy is twice broken. Firstly, the equivalents are something like:

Bitcoin <-> some chat system where anyone can see all the messages but not necessarily who sent them

Regular banking <-> private chatting but the government, those in chats, and the chat service provider can get detailed access to logs. A bit like email but with more government access.

Privacy coins <-> a bit like E2E but maybe chat participants don’t know whom they are chatting to. (I’m not super sure on the details).

So I think the first half of your analogy is pretty broken and there are middle grounds (eg government being able to subpoena chat records from companies) in the chat space.

The second issue is that I don’t really buy the analogy between private speech and money. Some people have many orders of magnitude more money than others but that isn’t really the case with private speech (obviously some people may have much more reach when speaking publicly, but this doesn’t go through E2E encryption; attempting to maintain large conspiracies is a social challenge rather than a technical challenge of overcoming group size limits on your favourite messenger). So in some sense the benefits of private chat are reasonably fairly shared across people whereas the benefits of private money disproportionately go to the people with much more money.
how to filter failed cases automatically? (let's say, an object detection model)

You know your project better than I do but unless there's something I don't understand going on, it really shouldn't be that hard.

You can also keep both backends around and just build a basic VM evaluator and start compiling simple expressions at a time to the VM version. I don't want to give you suggestions if you already know all that but also happy to chat if you are looking for a good plan. :D

There's no asking, let alone answering this question beyond mere speculations, until we've defined "subjective experience" in objective terms — i.e. positively provable, measurable in some unambiguous way (not merely inferred). That is the hard problem. Solving it might require reframing the problem such that this dichotomy isn't even relevant anymore (like say electromagnetic information isn't "opposed" or "dual" or "exclusive" to a gravitational field but merely concurrent) if we are to unify somehow the general field of "theory of mind".
Responsibility is a ghost. Like God, Love, Honor, etc. You’re not actually talking about anything.
Lightning only ever managed to coast by because of its slim form-factor and because Apple mandated its use. It's capable of USB2.0 at most (480Mbps), whereas USB-C can do 20Gbps today and 40Gbps when using Thunderbolt.

MagSafe on phones is a total joke, and MagSafe on laptops exists _alongside_ USB-C charging.
> It's quantitative instead of qualitative.

Advanced math typically starts with logic and structures, not numbers. Even when they study numbers, they tend to be focusing on their qualitative properties: compactness, convexity, primeness, etc.

This whole discussion is literally "buy vs build" and the fact that you don't know that means you're way out of your league here.
The original post was arguing "Seems like we are returning to normal." The response about not being so optimistic, to me, reads like a commentary on that claim.

But companies lowering prices because they are not having as much trouble acquiring goods would seem to be a return to normal to me.
I’ll second the Anki suggestion. I’ve been using it for a while and it is a game changer. The nice thing is you get to choose what you remember.
Sometimes questions need to be dismissed, including very real questions that many people in good faith spend their lives thinking about and discussing. Sometimes the "answer" to a question is the dismissal of the question, or more accurately, the solution to the problem the question refers to involves an explanation that the question was ill-formed or nonsensical.

I won't say I'm at that point with the question of qualia, but I share the other commenter's reflexive eye-rolling when I hear it invoked. Perhaps the question doesn't deserve to be dismissed, but I'd certainly like to see some new clarity about what the question is really asking, what problems would be solved by finding an answer to the question, or heck, even a remotely plausible description of what form a valid answer might take.
This takes embodiment (which I suspect is essential) to a place that feels weird to me.

When I say that I suspect embodiment is essential to AGI, I mean that I think a lot of people are basically presuming mind-body dualism. I mean that the GIs we know about have neural networks that extend out into their large physical bodies, and that there's a bit of hubris bound up in assuming that a neural network simulated on a cpu and connected to a camera can produce the same results as wetware with a whole nest of nerves connected to a meat-camera.
The only problem with a Lambo is it's not a Ferrari.
It's hard to usefully speculate, but I don't think it's right to imply that it's an unimportant question either. Even putting aside the more out-there scenarios, we don't want to look back in 2100 and say "oops, AIs have had qualia for the past 25 years, and we've been real jerks to them".
Indirectly, their automations are less incident management/process focused but more on remediation (e.g. run A to restart db). Whereas ours are more focused around e.g. updating status page automatically, inviting responders, posting reminders, syncing with Jira, etc.

He wanted to be left alone by the army-of-people-who-are-not-you that kept reporting long-fixed bugs because they didn't know they were living in an ancient version of Debian.

For a distro that blithely patched the entropy out of OpenSSL (in order to quiet a valgrind warning), you'd think they could figure out how to write a script that substitutes an Debian maintainer's email addy for the author's.
Yup that is a very good point. We make Slack even stickier for their customers and ours alike.
I would bet the industry will invent something to replace it anyway, even if there's no good reason for the change. Or maybe there will be some fundamental leap making 80 Gbps as irrelevant as 9600 bps are today.
Several of your points don't have anything to do with CSS and are simply costs of having multiple competing brands on the markets who need to use the same infrastructure (real estate is a very limited resource in many areas).

- Older X/S were never that numerous and shouldn't hold up the vast majority of the population. First movers disadvantage if you like.

>Try looking around Craigslist too for local companies hiring developers.

Here's the funny thing- My best career years were at jobs I found on Craigslist. They still paid pretty low next to decent traditional job sectors (banking, logistics, etc) that hire devs, but WLB was usually very good. I felt lucky to have worked at a web agency that, while not very reputable, at least didn't work their engineers to the bone at late hours.

Then I tried to "level up" around 2015-16 moving to major corporate listings on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Angel.co for startups etc, and was taken aback at how the jobs market there showed no mercy to me. I was striking out every time.

Falling behind in web tech most likely also had something to do with it, but in any case, it made my plans for a better future more difficult. I was on and off with attempting that side of the market, hence the sporadic nature of my freelance jobs in the late 2010's.

I live in a non-tech MCOL metro area. Is CL still ripe for dev work in 2022? I stopped using it after 2014 but I have noticed back then that listings were starting to dry up.

Other ideas: Would you also suggest consultancies and body shops like Accenture and Deloitte? Or would that be too out of my league? I'm just curious on the "they hire anyone with a degree" stereotype and curious to test how accurate that is.

I will message you later if I have any more questions that might come up.

I want to rewrite it in a hand-rolled Go stack, since Next.js feels very heavy for this kind of thing.
The lowest spec for cables requires 5 wires (CC, 2 * USB 2.0, GND, PWR) and a rating of 3A. CC pins are required for USB-C, if they're left out most devices won't charge over it [1]. 3A is (in my opinion) a reasonable choice, since pre-USB-C devices took up to 2.1A and backwards compatibility is important. USB 2.0 data lanes aren't required for charging per-se, but the older charging protocols preceding USB-C did signalling of the allowed current over the USB 2.0 data lines (otherwise, only 100 mA is allowed).

If you want to build a board, compatible with all USB-IF certified chargers and cables and all USB-PD power supplies, that only takes 5 V, the circuitry is two resistors. BOM is always important and stuff, but two resistors is as cheap as it gets. If you just throw it on a board and don't even bother to do a 2 minute google search, I'd take that as an indicator of the effort behind the rest of the board.

If it's obvious that it's not a "real" usb-c connector, deviations are reasonable IMHO (for example, a high speed scope connector or a port labelled "debug" on measurement equipment), but for power it's a bad idea. Some products use a "USB-C" power supply putting out 12V all the time (frying other devices connected to it) or save on the 2 resistors, leading to a lot of user confusion when devices will only work with USB-A to USB-C cables.

To the latter point: Doubt it. HDMI has tried to include Ethernet (with optional data wires), which luckily was a huge failure (almost no one implemented it). DisplayPort was trying to become USB-C before USB became USB-C. Ethernet now often doubles as a power supply. SD card slots could serve as an additional periphery slot in PDAs with SDIO. The only port common on a modern laptop that didn't (at least try) to include some completely other feature is probably the 3.5mm headphone socket (probably since there is no standard committee and even agreeing on how the 4 pin extension should work was a huge mess).

[1] The CC line is needed to determine which device is a power sink & power source. Otherwise, users might connect two 5V power supplies together and create a short (between probably 5.2V & 4.8V)
