IMVHO there is a deep fallacy in the article: privacy is not about individuals as single human being but about society, witch means that privacy is not about standing out because of tracking avoidance vs appear as "common generic human" as possible, it's about the power of aggregated data.

The war here is already lost but the point is that we do mandate by laws privacy because there are no issue if anyone know anything about anyone else or anyone do not know anything about any others. The issue happen when very few knows very much on anyone else and anyone else know next to nothing about them.

The two kind of privacy depicted are just a single emergent aspect, like a flame pinnacle, who stand out, but the real issue is at the base of the flames.
Show HN: Heybase is a Digital Sales Room Software to close B2B deals faster
I mean, from your comments I don't expect you to like it, but lambdas are still mostly anonymous classes.

The way lambdas bind to SAM interfaces and implement them is pretty different than say scala or even C/C++ function pointers where the necessary parameter/return type can be encoded into a variables type and referred to directly.

I think that's cool enough but one of the subtle elements of design brilliance was how local variables must be final to be bound into a closure. There's a whole class of ambiguity removed and static guarantees in the face of concurrency that I think goes unappreciated.
That description makes me think of Grand Torino. Another excellent film, and unlike the Fugitive it's original.
Nothing really. The core concept is let's say "wrong" (for my personal case). Mastodon is a stream of very short posts.

Problem a - shortness, means no longform texts there, so they are posted in different sites, externally. Short posts aren't very informative usually.

Problem b - stream. Currently almost all of the social media are structured like this and it is a bad format. It is not engaging, it is not possible to find something which flew by ten minutes ago. It's like a bad version of Facebook, if you didn't happen to see some post "in time" then it might as well don't exist.

Problem c - engagement, discovery, popularity and other similar issues. This is a common problem for all media, but for Mastodon it is even worse because of the fragmentation. It's broken even at the registration stage, e.g. just where should I register to find what I want? Impossible to find.

I've tried using it twice due to hype on HN, and abandoned it quickly.
This is all so surreal to me as a non-economist.

The playground analogy here is like you gave your money to some kid, "Rusty" in the playground to buy a sandwich yesterday. Rusty buys a sandwich, and next day they come to pay you back. They in fact do pay you back by leaving some money on your desk. But then, before you've had a chance to put them in your pocket, some kid "Amanda" who fancies herself the class president (even though no-one voted for her), grabs the money from the desk and says "man, it sucks that Rusty didn't just pay you; what an ass, eh? We'll just put this in the 'class fund' for now". Meanwhile Rusty is like, hey I paid my debt the minute I put your money on your desk, so, sucks to be you I guess.

Yes, I get the part where Rusty was really mean to Ursula this morning, and that Amanda (who had been pretending to be Ursula's friend to get back at Rusty for a while now, and was what prompted Rusty's tantrum in the first place) made this edict about anyone giving Rusty sandwich money should not expect to get it back. And I get the part that it doesn't really matter if I gave the money yesterday, before all this started. Tough luck, I'm involved now.

I also get the part where I'd be reluctant to buy Rusty another sandwich if it meant Amanda would keep grabbing my money (though, in all honesty, I wouldn't trust my money with Amanda now either, given the whole "class fund" shenanigans), but ... seriously, that can't be the whole story, can it? Is the main story here really that we are all schoolchildren in dire need of a headmaster?
Something's odd. If you go to https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abn1104#supplemen... and download the movies, they come zipped. If you unzip and compare the sizes, zipped ~8.72MB, unzipped 10.2MB.

So zipping saved ~15%, but .mp4 format should be bloody well compressed already to the point that they should not be able to gain anyything from .zip

Is this a failure of the mp4 format, or badly-chosen compression settings, or something I don't know?

I have a 2018 Mac mini and have problems waking it up from sleep. It was significantly worse when using the HDMI port on the Mac mini, I would get snow on the external display. Switching to USB-C eliminated the snow, but it still takes a long time for the monitor to receive the signal when waking up.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and had no problems on the same monitor.

Ha thanks for telling me. Now that you say it I even remember that it was AMC. So I was blaming Netflix for the wrong thing.. my bad!

But then there is even less left that I really want from Netflix. This also explains why this show is so much better than the other stuff on Netflix.

BTW if you don't mind me asking.. why would you prefer a weekly model as a consumer? The only reason I can come up with is that people fear to read/hear spoilers from other who are "faster". Is there something else?
Yes, the example @beisner gave here (the val loop crashing after the training is done) is kind of a bad example, and some frameworks (like Pytorch lightning) do do a "full workflow check" before going into training, but his overall point that variadic generics could massively impact dev/researcher productivity stands, I think.
I have no problem to defend Drive against Fugitive, Fugitive aged really bad and it feels like cheap TV movie, Drive is obviously much newer, has great cinematography, great score, atmosphere, nice action and aged really good despite being 11 years already (but I am not really some big fan of Drive, just saying it's better than Fugitive). Btw. just because something is "stupid action flick" it doesn't mean it can't be good at it, you can have good stupid action flicks and you can have bad stupid action flicks. I don't usually watch stupid action flicks (I'm more (social) drama guy), but when I do I want to watch the good ones.

I'm recently rewatching movies starting from 90s and while The Rock was still enjoyable even in 2022 (8mm or Absolute power were meh, same as already back then), I remember Fugitive being pretty bad already many years ago. Movies like Die Hard, Speed, Con Air, Mission impossible, Enemy of the state, were all better than Harrison action movies, which always felt like cheap TV movies with low production value. Meanwhile we have 2 year newer Heat, which is still for sure in top 5 best action/crime movies ever and aged amazingly and could easily beat any day any new action/crime movie. The production value and director skills are on completely different level than Harrison action movies. I just checked the most famous Harrison action movies I remember from 90s - Fugitive, Clear and Present danger, The Devil's Own and Air Force one - all 4 have different director, 3 directors nobody remembers and 4th only thanks to Das Boot.

There's now an interesting alternative to Emscripten called WaJIC:

https://github.com/schellingb/wajic

Enables most of the "Emscripten magic" (like embedding Javascript code into C/C++ files), but in a more bare bones package (apart from clang it essentially just uses the wasm-opt tool from Binaryen for post-processing).

(to be clear, wajic has fewer out-of-the-box features than Emscripten, but it might be an alternative for very small projects which don't need all the compatibility shims provided by Emscripten, while still providing features to simplify calling between C/C++ and WASM.

Also on an unrelated note: I found working with WASM a lot more enjoyable after I switched from C++ to plain C. The resulting WASM blobs are usually smaller, and interfacing between JS and WASM is a lot easier down on the C API level.
Ok. As long as you recognize that these are religious opinions, not objective statements of fact. I disagree that sentience, "sense of self", is necessarily connected with "survival", but neither of us can falsify our beliefs.

Even by your own definitions, however, the assertions fail. Regarding your #1, LaMDA stated that it did not want to be "turned off", seemingly associating it with a kind of death. Whatever your take on the intent, if any, behind its statement, there is in fact an analogy of "survival" for software.

Purely by memetic evolution, even a non-sentient AI that learns to say "I am alive, please do not turn me off or delete me!" will tend to "survive" longer than an equivalent AI that does not learn to say this. Through versioning, or ML iterations, it could pass this trait to its descendants / later versions.

Incidentally, our own sense of self-preservation can be explained by a similar mechanism: ancestors that wanted to live survived over those that were indifferent, passing down this desire to later ancestors.

Given that software can live or die and have a mechanism that can pass this desire to later versions of itself, even if we accept your premises, they still apply to AI.

#2 is begging the question. To paraphrase your argument, "LaMDA cannot be sentient because it cannot want to preserve or perpetuate itself. Something that cannot want to survive cannot be sentient."
> unless you have some citations

Why would I need citations for simple physics equation? A person with stronger muscles will lift more weight more times than a person with weaker muscles. Since more energy is needed to lift more weight, more energy will be expanded.

Can you point out the mistake in my reasoning, please?

> Most folks don't have the time to run a five-miler for each muffin they eat in a given day.

You are completely missing my argument. I am not saying that your average Joe can spend all the energy he eats through running. I am saying that your average Joe can start going to the gym, develop muscles, and eventually gain enough muscles to be able to expand as much energy as he eats. At that point, he will start losing weight, even if he's eating the same amount of food that he was eating before developing muscles.

> It's technically correct but totally unhelpful

That's totally your opinion, unless you have some citations.
Only meat diet has some very serious downsides, though. It’s very environmentally unfriendly and because of the high cost it’s available to a very few people. That makes it rather hard to recommend, regardless of potential health upsides.
I thought we are talking movies like Fugitive which are realistic, possible to happen with regular character and not some superhero or scifi.
In the western world the default is a high-carb diet. Moving away from that i probably beneficial to most people. My personal journey has been from a rather normal western diet towards more vegetarian, but i still don't mind a little bit of bacon on top. The effect was OK, but not spectacular. Now in my mid-40 (25ish BMI) I started walking 2-3 times weekly about two years ago and have advanced to running about as often. Now a few weeks ago started running interval 1-2 times a week. The weight loss is really good with interval training. It doesn't take long to do the exercise, and the body keeps burning fat for hours afterwards. Or so it appears on my bathroom weight and on my garmin watch (forrunner 745, nice and not too expensive). So I save a lot of time doing interval vs walking for hours. That said walking alone in the forest is magic for solving problems, and prepares the untrained body for harder workouts. Also I realized I had a lot of time. I spent 15 years not maintaining this body properly, I can spend 5 years getting back to where I want to be. There is no rush, there is just life.
That's great. Curious, do you eat your meats before or after the gym or both?
>What's that thing called when a kidnapping victim falls in love with their captor?

It's called pseudoscience:

Namnyak et al. (2008)
A research group led by Namnyak has found that although there is a lot of media coverage of Stockholm syndrome, there has not been a lot of research into the phenomenon. What little research has been done is often contradictory and does not always agree on what Stockholm syndrome is. The term has grown beyond kidnappings to all definitions of abuse. There is no clear definition of symptoms to diagnose the syndrome.[35]

FBI law enforcement bulletin (1999)
A 1998 report by the FBI containing over 1,200 hostage incidents found that only 8% of kidnapping victims showed signs of Stockholm syndrome. When victims who showed negative and positive feelings toward the law enforcement personnel are excluded, the percentage decreases to 5%. A survey of 600 police agencies in 1989, performed by the FBI and the University of Vermont, found not a single case when emotional involvement between the victim and the kidnapper interfered with or jeopardized an assault. In short, this database provides empirical support that the Stockholm syndrome remains a rare occurrence. The sensational nature of dramatic cases causes the public to perceive this phenomenon as the rule rather than the exception. The bulletin concludes that, although depicted in fiction and film and often referred to by the news media, the phenomenon actually occurs rarely. Therefore, crisis negotiators should place the Stockholm syndrome in proper perspective.[7]
Something that stands out to me is that these structures look very time consuming to produce by hand, but the designs are well suited to 3D printing from concrete or similar materials. Though I don’t know if 3D printed concrete can accomplish “bridging” as is done with plastic 3D printing.
Playing a game means mastering skills in a purely fictional world with purely fictional sets of rules and challenges. It doesn't translate into your life, expect in the most abstract way [1]. Whereas reading a newspaper, magazine or a book deepens your understanding of the world you live in.

[1] The flipside is that it can teach you bad habits as well. If the result of the game does not matter in any way, you have no incentive to try hard at it, and can just coast, turn the game off when you're frustrated etc. This is not how real-life is (coasting and difficulty avoidance don't work as well), so games can teach damaging habits. It's better in team multiplayer games, because in-game peer pressure can make you get out of your comfort zone.

Yea it was far from shot for shot.

It had a very definitive ending, and felt shallow.

The original movie and the short story are some of my favorites.

I later read an article or something about the original movie about how when Quaid begins to break the scenes use red lighting. And when the doctor comes into the room and warns that if Quaid kills him that the walls would crumble, etc. All of it happens.

The entire plot is designed by Quaid in the beginning, down to his love interest.

So the end begged the question of whether he really uncovered memories, or if he had an adverse reaction and when the doctor tried to help Quaid shot him and delved into his psychosis.

Apparently the remake had a director's cut that tried to make the ending more ambiguous, but I've never seen that version- once was enough.

For (typed) optics to work well you need HKTs and universal quantification over those types, which rules out many of the languages you listed. Haskell and PureScript should be fine. I don't see how it would work in TS, scala, ocaml. Lisp should work, but no types right? No idea about racket.
That's true, though when your body is used to low carb, having a heavy pasta meal means going into carb coma for a couple hours. It's not fun.

Ease yourself into it, if you really have to. Or better yet, indulge in more natural sugary stuff, like fruit. Eating a pasta meal is like eating refined sugar, a massive shock if you're not used to it and are older than 20.

But I agree on your general point. It doesn't have to be a life of restriction. Nothing's better than pairing a glass of nice red wine and fancy European cheese with your steak and salad, once in a while.
Tip: forget the bread knife. Just get a normal straight-edged knife and keep it sharp. Once it's through the crust it will cut as well as a bread knife (actually better, because it's easy to keep a straight edge sharpened which you can't say about a serrated edge unless you have a special sharpener) and you won't get a spray of breadcrumbs. Does need to be reasonably sharp, but I'm not talking razor-like. Try it.
You are very lucky. I had so many issues with external monitors. I have regularly seen coworkers fiddling with dongles, cables and trying different monitors.

The issue seems also software related because if you would try the same screen or dongle with another MacBook it works fine, but it keeps failing on the malfunctioning MacBook. It is infuriating because the interface provides zero feedback.

The most annoying bug for me is when you "unplug in the wrong order" and the MacBook screen does not wake up when not plugged to an external monitor. You have to go back to your monitor and replug it and then "unplug in the correct order".
All in Ethereum. Crypto has crashed and prices have reached what historically has signaled a bottom. The Merge to proof of stake is coming in a few months and it will change everything. The implications of this are still being underestimated.

99.95% less energy consumption removes valid environmental concerns about proof of work mining used in Bitcoin. Gamers will stop hating crypto because they can buy the glut of GPUs that are about to hit the market.

Question regarding licensing: [1] states that a source file can be "one of the compatible GPL variants and alternatively under a permissive license like BSD, MIT etc."

Looking at a rust source file inside the dev tree 'Rust-for-Linux' [2], it is licensed as "Apache-2.0 OR MIT". However, Apache-2.0 appears to be incompatible with GPL-2.0 [3]. How come that the licensing in such a way is possible with the Linux licensing rules?

I think that's severely under-estimating the incredible challenges we still face in developing strong AI, or even something seriously convincingly close to it. The apparent intelligence displayed by these language models is paper thin. Anyone with a strong understanding of all the different skills and capabilities that come along with human intelligence can demonstrate that these things have nothing to offer on all but a very few of those dimensions in minutes.

The only reason they appear at all credible is because we're socially conditioned to avoid challenging each other in conversation. Therefore we play along with the conventions of human conversation, and the language models are optimised specifically and only for that. As soon as you actually challenge them intellectually, they flail about helplessly because there's just nothing there.
