Nono, sorry if I'm confusing you.

The part about "desired" and "undesired" is more from how we within society like to create social constructs which dictates what, why and when something should be acceptable and desirable.

So the original point you said was correct, however my attempt was to essentially clarify it, but it seemed to have veered into a bit off-ish (it is true we desire young & healthy, but I would assume we got the reverse age tech in 200 years).

What I meant with desirable & undesirable is purely social based, there's popular and unpopular, there's kind and mean and lastly smart and dumb.

What I predict is going to be the case is that after we've eliminated all material "capital" there will still be a huge need for "social" capital.
This social capital could be a very big driver for the next foreseeable future, afterall we humans are suppose to be "unique".

And consequentially this social capital COULD actual create some form of material capital again (think about how our culture has been reshaped in what is desirable, fashionable and "aesthetically authentic"), a good example is how the global cultural phenomenon of "growing by yourself" is making a comeback even though previous generations looked down on it.
What are you expecting this to do exactly? Inflation in norther Europe is rampant too, and the housing market is just as bad. the fact that many people bike to work doesn’t change that.

“If crypto is even necessary”

Wrong attitude. Use what’s best for job, period. No need for idealism on the execution layer of your ideas. This is coming from someone romantic about how cryptocurrency will revolutionize society, money and conflict.

The simple idea of an open market place between games is an obvious application of cryptocurrency - it is the best solution (assuming an idealic scalable network). Companies have incentives to operate in liquid marketplaces over walled gardens.

I was going to say didn't Dogpile use to to an aggregated search, but it seems it still exists. Not sure I like the look of it.
This article irritates me. It's point is "LaMDA is not sentient because come on", which is laughable as an argument. To everyone claiming LaMDA is not sentient, I'd like to see their criteria for sentience.

What would it take for them to agree that a given program is sentient? From what I can see, most of it is "it would have to not be a program".

I see a lot of "it's not sentient, it just synthesizes responses from tons of learned human chats", but what if that's what humans do as well? I don't know that I'm not just a maximum-likelihood-response synthesizer!
Commuting by bike isn't going to happen. It's not practical for most business and personal purposes. Electric scooters have a better shot than bikes. (Still not going to happen.)

The only alternative to cars in cities is working public transit. And working means available, frequent, safe, and clean. You can't have homeless people sleeping on buses, you can't turn it off at 1 am. Regular people need to be able to rely on it.
"That crappy MVP will be extended, adjusted and corrected, until it's something no longer throwaway"

Yes and from talking to my coachees, this is one of their main problems. I urge them to throw away the MVP when they got funded.
I don't think that such a statement should have any legal (or other) consequences. It would (kind of) translate to "I don't believe in freedom", but it would not directly attack someone's ability to practice free speech.

Context matters here, I think:

If I said "The president should not be allowed to say this", this would most likely not affect the president's freedom of speech.

If the president said "ls15 should not be allowed to say this", this may more likely affect my ability to express my opinions.
Also, next/image only works with a CDN, ie Vercel, it doesn't work with static site generation. It's been an open issue for years and I honestly now feel like Vercel doesn't fix the problem on purpose, to push more people to using their service rather than simply exporting to a static host which are plentiful.
Why would this matter (except when you build an index for a big database)?

Note:

> 6.8. Opacity: UUIDs SHOULD be treated as opaque values and implementations SHOULD NOT examine the bits in a UUID to whatever extent is possible.
> How do you know rocks don't have it, for instance? How do you know you do, for that matter?

These are both part of the (incomplete) definition I gave you.

There have been problems like this before in the history of science - we have concepts that we intuitively understand, and want to give a formal definition for. This can take a long time of careful study - such as coming up with a complete definition for "insect". Other times it can indeed turn out that the concept was ill-defined - there is no possible formal definition for the concept "fish" that doesn't appeal to the human mind (the various organisms we think of as fish are too diverse genetically to find a satisfactory one-to-one mapping with any group of animals, even if you exclude a small set of them, like the aquatic mammals).
Not really.

“Everybody is exiting crypto for another type of crypto” wouldn’t be much of a headline.
>the rotor blades are actuated to change their angle of attack, and consequently how much lift they're producing, using swashplates and cyclic controls

Correct, but that is just the workaround to achieve more immediate thrust variability from a combustion engine - which in turn made these aircraft insanely complex and highly expensive to operate. An electric motor can immediately give you the required torque over a wide range of speeds, finally making these designs safe and possibly even economical. Batteries are the only reason why we aren't seeing these things everywhere and a tiltrotor capable of VTOL and winged horizontal flight could finally make them viable.
Recommend revisiting Mr. Stoll's book - 'Silicon snake oil' (1995). It shows how much people who are inside the revolution can't see that it's the revolution. I think he got it wrong with everything the internet would become.

Mr. Stoll wrote something along the lines:
"Some people who are offline feel that they are cut off from some very important aspect of the present day. However, only in some ways everyday life requires either computers or access to digital networks. They are irrelevant to cooking, driving, receiving guests, talking, eating, walking, dancing and gossiping. There is no need for a computer to bake bread, play football, sew a bedspread, build a fence, recite a poem or say a prayer."
A spreadsheet can't possibly be sentient like a collection of neurons that read and output electrical pulses can't possibly be sentient.
I think the secret sauce of network based audio server is streaming and whatever bag of tricks to smooth out perceived latency and fault tolerance. This can also mean pairing it with a nice client.

I mean, you can just serve mp3 files over HTTP. The browser can download the whole file, and load it until whatever mp3 playing library there is.

This is exactly what I did for my first personal project that landed me an internship at FANG. My music player had a pretty nice UI at the time ( Yahoo music days ), but music players from professionals like Yahoo or Spotify ( web player released one year later ) is that they are resilient to network failure, rather than assuming the mp3 file downloaded it one go, that it would be fast, and you can just point your JavaScript library at it, now that it's cached by the browser and can be loaded into memory.
My expertise is programming, running exploits, and setting up DDOS attacks and I like the challenge of doing things where most others give up.

Examples:
Spear Phishing Attacks to get accounts from selected targets.
I can recover account passwords of most social networks easily, remote control smartphones.
Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, the Twitter account hacking. Criminal record expungement, Credit score increment, Change of a school course grade, etc.

Full package deal, getting access to personal or company devices and accounts and searching for the data you need.
Hacking web servers, game servers, or other internet infrastructure. Basically, anything a hacker needs to be successful.

Examples:
Simply hacking something technically.
Causing a lot of technical trouble on websites/networks to disrupt their service with DDOS and other methods.
Economic espionage. Getting private information from someone.
Ruining your opponents, business, or private persons you don't like, I can ruin them financially and or get them arrested, whatever you like.

> "LaMDA is not sentient because come on"

I think this is a perfectly fine argument because the claim is so outrageous. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and none has been presented. I'd also say that defining sentience is the job of the person claiming it.
Has anyone quantified the increased risk taking from more vaccinated folk to actually rule it out? Perhaps one could use a survey of time spent in public as as indicator of risk taking behaviors.
WOW!! Reading the articleI really felt like I was there!!

I was just looking into this. Was trying to get a sense of the number of total US housing units compared to the number of households. And the number of extra units seems to have been fairly constant over the last 20 years (about 9% more housing units than number of households).

2 Adults, 2 kids, also close to 10 kWh per day (cooking on electricity (induction) but showering on natural gas, 0.6-0.8 m3/day). When we are not home, it's about 4 kWh per day (2 freezers, 1 fridge, home server, router etc). Big sources are Laundry, dishwasher, hot water in the kitchen (5L boiler).

But we heat the house on gas, and last december we burned about 180 m3 of it. Now, during summer, (in the Netherlands) we don't need heating or air-conditioning.

Appreciate this detailed reply! Just for additional context, I wasn't going around spamming — I made a post on LPT when my startup launched, and then on YSK at the suggestion of a mod who thought my very popular post was unfairly taken down on LPT. Each post had over a thousand upvotes and an 85% +/- ratio, and was generating good conversation. It was super frustrating to lose those posts, which were driving tons of traffic!

I can see that I would have been much better off letting one of my startup's users, or someone who had seen our Show HN, post to reddit and get the ball rolling. That would have generated the same type of publicity, and I would have been able to jump into the comments and answer questions in the same way. Lesson learned!
The systems we're using technically are engaging in a selective process against the researchers themselves: assume that none of these systems are sentient - they're just well trained models. But what's their goal? For a chatbot, its generally to "convince a human being that they are in fact a real, sapient person".

So technically regardless of what LaMDA is or is not, it succeeded pretty wildly in one case. And in fact, the model itself - regardless of "actual" sapience is simply running in opposition to its testers: a non-sapient model, that nonetheless convinces most of the testing staff it's sapient has succeeded at doing exactly what the fitness function we defined was.

Only the consequences of doing so are pretty dramatic potentially.

But this also brings around the other side of it: in a world with increasingly convincing chatbots, which exploit human fallibility to succeed, the other thing we're selecting for is people who are not susceptible to say, regular conversational emotional queues. Who generally would reject those notions as reasons to engage in moral consideration for an entity. So psychopaths - or people who can be successfully divorced from normal moral considerations.

By far the most interesting and under-considered element here is that this whole saga involves AI ethics, and what I'm not seeing discussed is whether any serious though has been given to the psychological impact of getting people to spend a majority of their work day engaging in conversation with language-model systems which this sort of goal but not with other humans, or with adequate psychological care. Which is not an idle problem: how much trouble would we get into if we had systems like this running in the wild without signposting?

The fitness function is "successfully convince humans you're sapient": at some point, you've created a problem regardless of whether or not it is.
No, it's not. You can't say "this is false because it's unlikely to be true". Some things are unlikely to be true and are.

Software Development, Remote Working, Agroecology and Resilience
Hi all.
I meet regurlaly software developers interested in moving from cities to rural environments. Main motos are resilience, put hands in the earth.

We're building a community for software developers on Slack. Our topics are gardening, building houses, growing food, breeding animals (hens, goats, bees...), living in the countryside...

When we live in the same region, we meetup IRL to help each other for small works (building greenhouses, renovating...)

> Is this sarcasm?

It definitely is not! By "very simple" I mean "this is very simple compared to actually trying to create a smart home without following these rules".

Creating a smart home that goes beyond something that is either trivial or frustrating, is definitely not easy. But the rules themselves are pretty easy to understand I think. Such as "don't buy anything that needs a subscription" or "you either need to hire or be an electrician".

Not sure what you think is sarcasm. I still think the post is pretty understandable?
I think there are a bunch of people who consider this work unethical or at least deeply in the grey. The negativity isn't that surprising

You name things intelligent; then you have a theory as to why you name them that way.

Your theory is wrong.

Those thing which count as intelligent aren't intelligent because they're finding statistical associations in historical datasets that have been pre-made and pre-disambiguated by people.

You don't know this, because any time you theorise to explain, you require empirical investigation and decades/centuries of science. You cannot be "right by definition", you're not omniscient.

The reason that animals are intelligent isnt their cognition, narrowly. It's their bodies, broadly, which produce the input cognition requires.

In "doing all the hard work" by manufacturing data for machiens to process, we can produce computational models of cognition -- but these immitate intelligence, precisley because, the thing which we call intelligent is the very production of that data.
At my last workplace we twice got new workstations where they all had the same bogus UUID. Once it was Dell, the other I don't remember. The fix was to either manually set a new one in the BIOS setup, or install a BIOS Update. So I have my doubts that the variant field can be trusted here.
EVs are not going to prevent fucking over the future. There is no good future where we continue to produce 70 million new cars per year.
Resolution isn't the only thing that is is improving. If anything, resolution has pretty much flatlined with 4K at least for now (yes, there are 8K screens if you have too much money but the pay off just not there). Contrast and colors however are much more easily noticeable. Evene someome with bad eyes can notice the ugly grey that pre-OLED monitors call "black".
Why isn't it simply "asleep" when not questioned? In a "coma" perhaps. One made from our programming / "genetics"?!?!

I don't think it is sentient without more evidence. But just wondering if not "thinking" when not questioned is a good reason it isn't?!?!
This doesn't look good for them. Even if they find the liquidity to cover costs and manage this bear market, they are sending a very worrying message to their clients.

As always: not your keys, not your coins. I decided against putting money on their platform. To me, the benefit of getting some small percentage of returns on my coins didn't weigh up to the counterparty risk I would incur with parking my coins there. The final word isn't out yet, but at least I can still sleep soundly.
> Disabled, queer, poor teens are not shooting up schools.

Because 1. there's support networks for them, and 2. they don't have the resources themselves.

The "white upperclass male" has the resources to do harm, and don't get supported.

I keep thinking of Elliot Rodgers, who had a thought that girls owed it to him to date him. I don't think any of that was because he was white, male, or upper class. It was because he was lonely. And without proper socialisation and support he got further and further into the deep end. Males are violent but it can be channelled into positivity.

It drives home why such divisive language doesn't help the situation.

Obviously the whole "everything supports them every other day" isn't true, because of they were supported, they wouldn't be going through this mess. Or you can believe that it is due to inherent "whiteness", or "maleness", if you would like to continue to divide these kids further.
Bikes and electric scooters can very well supplement public transit, at least for the "last mile". Cities like Paris and Amsterdam have very good public transit, but biking is still popular, even in wind, rain and cold. People bike in freaking Oulu, Finland, even with the snow and cold.

It's a perfectly viable supplement to good public transit.
That's a good point. At some point in the future, the level of efficiency of a chat bot fraudster, could be quite high.

They would never sleep or take breaks, and in addition to providing data to help become more efficient, could be continually adapted or they could be adapting themselves to be better at the task. They could become something like "intelligent" malware, that can interact with victims, and prey on the more gullible or emotionally vulnerable.

I work on a lot of conference and festival web sites, where there are multiple stages and events going on at the same time. We can do pretty much everything in the browser, and the users are happy with not having to download an app. The only thing that has made us look into native development is to have push notifications. Our clients wants to send push notifications if an event is delayed or if an event is at another stage, after being changed last minute, which happens pretty often.
The SAE levels don't measure technical sophistication. In fact when it comes to machine learning, an L4 system is substantially easier to implement than L3 or L2 because the task is monumentally less difficult and you can overfit your way to perceived success.

Whether you (or I, or anyone else) thinks Tesla is lagging behind or not has no bearing on the actual reality, and it won't change whether or not Tesla's approach is ultimately successful. Hopefully we're both fortunate to live a few more years and see what happens first hand.
Did I miss anything? I thought it would be 6 years at ~$1k saved per year, so I'm kind of waiting for prices to come down a fair bit more myself - also in the knowledge that batteries are rapidly improving now thanks to all the new players.

Regardless of the time to get ahead: Battery would make a great difference if your goal is to eliminate grid reliance and also to power an EV by solar only.

Whilst in summer a 6.6/5 system can produce 40kWh in a day, during winter months in Australia there really isn't too much sun - and what we get tends to be patchy. So being able to feed it into the battery would be great for avoiding grid use overall, and not to let bursts of sunshine go to waste.

How do you get the content from the headless CMS into the static sites if there is no build step?
You're right about the limit, I have mixed them up. It's 1000 USD when arriving by air or sea and 500 USD when arriving by land. Yes, the amount is pretty low.

Regarding visitors, I believe the fees are not really enforced because you can argue that the goods will not stay in the country and enforcement could hamper tourism. But if someone shows up with two brand new laptops still in the box, they'll probably have some explaining to do in case they're selected for customs checks and want to convince them that they're strictly for personal use and it's not an import.

I still stand behind that such rules are the norm, not the exception. The problem in Brazil is not the rule, but the low limits. Regarding EU residents when visiting the US, very similar import rules still apply but the difference is that (1) the limits are higher, and (2) it's easier to take the things out of the packaging and argue those are your personal belongings that you left EU with [1], and (3) the majority are not checked. But even in EU the fact that you're not caught does not mean that the rule does not exist: when you purchase things abroad and they add up to more than your tax-free limit, you are supposed to walk through the "goods to declare" line before leaving the airport, just like in Brazil.

[1] In Brazil if you want to make this argument you have to report your item to customs when leaving the country and then you get a receipt that you can show on your way back to prove that you left the country with it. If you don't have such receipt, customs can argue the item is new and purchased abroad.
