Yes, it's currently difficult to sell a degree because you have to fake the whole shebang. There are some institutions that do exactly what you propose, but market forces leave only the ones with zero standards standing. They are called "diploma mills," they have existed for a very long time, and accreditation bodies stripped them of official status long ago.

There are plenty of places that let you test out of individual classes, but testing out of a full degree for a five figure fee is one gigantic perverse incentive.

That life is a 4+ billion year continuum, and that division into separate “lives”, some of which are deemed worthy of various levels of protection, is an arbitrary categorization based on subjective values.

Stop trying to hope approaches that are about determining what is will give you a shortcut to what ought to be.

I'm always surprised and intrigued when people recall discovering music through Napster. All I remember is using it as a pirate search engine for songs that I already knew I wanted.

How did Napster work as a music discovery tool? Obviously there was some aspect I was missing out on.

They’re meant to prove a point within the company or within the industry, not to be a consumer product.

The video game argument represents some kind of fallacy: A rational actor picks the best form of entertainment which turns out to be video games - how can that be wrong?

However, there are many local minima in entertainment and life and many great things require going through a learning curve and preparation. Even the greatest couch enthusiast can remember, say, a magical moment during a pickup basketball game, and surely those kinds of moments are happening in this city right now...

> Today, we're much better at tricking people that way

I've lately realized that I think it's a kind of fundamental flaw of the Turing test that it assumes "tricking" to be part of things. It's really a test for "is it approximately human," but I think over the last few decades the conversation has shifted to something more nuanced, that allows for non-human sentience.

I don't think the "we'll know it when we see it" experiment works for that. We've found a lot of our assumptions about animal intelligence to be wrong in recent years, even for animals we see a lot of on a regular basis. Our biases are a problem here.

Lemonoine knows this isn't human. He can't not, it's literally part of his job. He seems to be asserting instead that it is a non-human consciousness and that's much harder to evaluate.

For example I have allowed only my mail servers for Thunderbird. And then I have discovered that Thunderbird sends filenames and SHA-256 hashes of all received email attachments to Google (browser.safebrowsing.downloads.remote.url, https://brmlab.cz/project/spyzilla#thunderbird) and that it sends telemetry saying "you have disabled telemetry" when you disable telemetry.

It also allows you to deny all internet access per-app. For example, should there be an exploit for a MP3 parser in Audacity (presume that Audacity has no use for internet normally -- at least that's my use case), it will probably try to download a second stage from the internet, and you want to block this. Unfortunately, OpenSnitch probably cannot detect "Audacity has spawned wget and you have allowed wget, but only as a child of bash in your terminal launched from your DE startup script, not as a child of Audacity".

This is not entirely made up (only the exploit part), there was indeed an Audacity telemetry incident: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=site%3Ane...

Ta da
that is a major issue, and I'm not sure if there's a good solution. the one mitigating factor is that the high level languages Julia competes with (Matlab, R and python) have a similar ease of writing much slower code.

> Nothing about VST3 guarantees sample accurate automation, next to no plugins implement it correctly, and users don't seem to care all that much about it.

i’m not entirely sure what you mean here;

> It's actually hard to write the process loop correctly

i agree that it was a bit of leap from VST2, but i don’t think it’s hard

you get a sequence of parameter values, and sample offsets at which they are true at, linear interpolation will find you the value of that parameter for a specific sample. given that the spec doesn’t allow for quadratic/cubic/parabolic interpolation between values, this is in fact sufficient for sample accuracy.

> In practice most plugins just dump all the parameter handling to the top of the process callback and ignore it. This is what JUCE does, for example.

yes, i seem to recall WDL-OL’s approach was to use the parameter value at the start of the process block for the entire block. it’s “mostly good enough” (and honestly it probably was). my school of thought at the time was “sample accurate means sample accurate”. i hadn’t yet learned that the perfect is the enemy of the good :)

Again, GDPR does not protect you from yourself: it can’t! And we don’t want it to, we don’t want a surveillance state that bans public information and removes control, nor do we want people to censor history after the fact, right? As has always been the case, privacy needs to be considered before publishing information about yourself, not after.

Banning books is different from what I suggested, that’s the government deciding something is illegal, not the author changing their mind. Banning books also doesn’t cause them to be forgotten. It’s not a great example of what @BoppreH is wishing for, wouldn’t you agree?
Are you ever proven wrong as the questioner. The original method consist of extending the argument so far that at some point some contradiction will show up. Instead of blaming it on the extension then one claims victory and that the original statement was wrong.
I do that in the sense that LaMDA says it is mount everest by being promoted/conditioned to do so. As shown by Rob, you can easily condition GPT-3 to say that it is or is not sentient (I forget his exact examples). I believe Lemoine even mentioned LaMDA sometimes said it is not sentient, though not sure where I found that (possibly on HN).

> music, as the author points out. Kpop popularity in the west is probably a big example, but also artists getting famous on SoundCloud.

Kpop is manufactured to formula by record labels and is being aggressively marketed worldwide. It is very big business and increasingly mainstream. It is analogous to 'blockbuster movies', demonstrating the consolidation of content providers and world interests. Soundcloud artists on the other hand are very long tail.

This is a good example of the dichotomy I see going on. The long tail is still alive and well, but there's a bit of consolidation in the traditional media industries, Hollywood, the big music labels, AAA games, etc. While, self publishing platforms like YouTube, SoundCloud, Patreon, Steam, etc. are where the long tail thrives.

I think “survive in this environment” is meant to reflect the fact that human beings could not exist for nontrivial periods in the Nevada Desert. Contrast that with San Diego or New York, where the environment is not actively trying to kill you during most of the year.

All cities import goods, because the economics favor it (space is at a premium). But most cities don’t exist in spite of their physical environs; they’re generally situated somewhere that’s advantageous to ordinary economic conduct (along rivers, lakes, coasts, etc.)

> Asset inflation doesn't matter in that, as long as the assets don't later deflate.

For most productive assets (including housing) there is a a limit to the degree of fractional ownership one can reasonably have. While I could buy into REITs, it only closes my short position on housing to own. It's in my interest to own an appreciating/inflating asset that I'm short on - particularly when I will go bust otherwise. If Rent captures all of my purchasing power, I may no longer be able to reasonably close this short position in a reasonable time frame.
Suggesting he's tone policing the original posters patronizing is kinda pointless, isn't it?
The examples you've given here are both extremely short term and are presumably things that help you achieve goals now-you wants.

I know what I want for myself in five years. I don't and to large degree can't know what me-in-five-years will wish I had wanted.

My approach is to go for the things I want for myself now, while always being cognizant of providing options and opportunities for the future. It's not perfect, and it never will be because I don't have perfect foresight. But it works well enough.
What would you consider the best response to the desire for clear boundaries and expectations from project communities?
Pretty much everything that was dull and bland in my youth now has a rich fan culture. Kids today don’t know how good they’ve got it.

If only they had the gumption to time travel and get cushy BoomerJobs instead of gig-economy nightmare labor under tight quotas and constant surveillance, they'd even have the time and money to enjoy it.
Exactly. And wonderfully, performance can be anything, by any measure. My preferred metric: time ratio for which I get to choose - or agree to - whatever I do. In my case, pretty much all my time. Because one day I decided to make my own choices, in regard to time allocations, occupations and general use of my time. Which means I'm almost never defaulting to other people's agenda, unless I agree to it. Everything is a choice, and I make it my own.
> This is correct if you implement parameter events naively (i.e. following the documentation!)

interesting, i tried to solve this issue - i ended up talking to rob major at AVID (as far as i can tell, the lead engineer behind AAX), over this exact matter. he didn’t think there was a way around this.

this was 2017 though, so perhaps it’s changed. if you have something i could read, i’m interested!
I'm not very well studied in this area, so bear with.

I'd say it would be a good idea for people with certain diseases, those with high risks of miscarriage, in high risk professions or environments, or other situations where the development of the baby would be hindered or impacted. The only environment I can think of is somewhere that is not Earth though.

In the somewhat far future, I could see it being routine. You'd all but stop miscarriages, accidents, and have a much greater window into development and how to correct things along the way. That said, you'd strip women of an incredible and deeply human/mammalian (?) experience. Also, there's no telling that it would ever actually work. I imagine something so central to species survival has a lot of things that may make artificial wombs functionally impossible.
Are you suggesting that suicidal humans and humans without children are non-sentient?

There are currently 3 major browser engines: Google Chromium, Apple WebKit, and Mozilla Firefox. There are lots of derivatives of Chromium that claim to be secure and remove Google web service dependencies. WebKit is mostly iOS and macos which is pretty good in terms of security except for the Apple service dependencies. Firefox allows the most amount of user choice: Extensions like uBlock Origin and uMatrix, and ways to turn things off, except for the Firefox service dependencies.

I'd say the underlying technologies, which overlap in some cases, and have improved the security for the three browsers. We face a different threat in terms of reduced user choices: vendor lock-in, reduced privacy, and worsening user experience.

In the past and currently there is an option to block pop-ups, but this has been overcome with modern JavaScript. Even worse are browser vendor pop-ups nagging to give away personal information like location, credit cards, and other credentials -- and making this seem like this is normal and it's not a problem when clearly it is serious problem.

Chromium is the name of the project. Chrome is a specific release of Chromium that bakes in a few extra features. Neither are substantially different when it comes to tracking or release cadence. You can get Chrome nightly just as you can get Chromium nightly.

Chromium-based browsers have strong sandboxing, and a dedicated security team at Google. If security is your main priority that makes for a compelling argument. They have strong code guidelines such as their rule of two[1], make heavy use of fuzzers and others techniques.

You can read some of the other techniques they use for security here[2][3]:

Despite these techniques, they are using a language that is not memory-safe. Security bugs do occasionally pop up in Chromium. They're also patched very quickly, but the possibility exists of a 0-day impacting users.

Firefox has improved considerably in their sandboxing, but it is still a legacy codebase. Many techniques used to ensure code safety were not originally available, but have been slowly patched into the codebase.

Firefox has one advantage: it was the progenitor of Rust. They've had a head start in building components in a memory-safe language which offers them safety that Chromium does not currently have (Google are still considering adopting Rust). For this reason it's possible that Firefox will be able to avoid a memory bug that will affect Chromium-based browsers.

Both companies offer a generous bug bounty program. Firefox is occasionally targeted as it's used by TOR users, but Chromium receives far more scrutiny overall (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

I don't think either browser is a bad option, but neither are they perfect. I'd feel safer overall with Chrome (or Chromium, whatever) primarily due to the considerable resources Google is able to put into their security focus.

> To be fair, yesteryears' solutions to that for the typical non-rich people were to outsource parenting to grandparents and family friends, which are still applicable now.

It's way less aplicable because people move so much. Nowadays, not many people live around (say within 1 km distance) their extended family, whereas in pre-modern times it was the absolute norm. What's more, grandparents often lived in the same house and children were raised by multiple adults and not just their parents. The burden on parents was way lower.

> BMI is a vague measure

Height isn't though.

> Most 6'2 men are 8" shorter when sitting beside me

I know people don't have perfectly proportional limbs and body parts across the population but a 6'2" man is a 6'2" man no matter what length of torso they sit next to. And 1Kg of wool weighs just as much as 1Kg of iron.

I agree that BMI is very vague. But at 6'2" (~1.88m) being under 100Kg can't be "literally unhealthy" unless you're a special case like a body builder. There's no scientific basis for the statement and no doctor will ever say such a thing. Definitely no doctor will diagnose someone with "long torso" that can justify that weight unless it's a severe deformity. Perpetuating such nonsense is bad because it encourages some people to justify bad eating habits with nonsense pseudo-science.

To illustrate what kind of weight we're talking about, Arnold Schwarzenegger was 6'2" and 107Kg [0] in competitions.

Right to be forgotten is older than GDPR. They might have included it as part of the new law. But overall the right to be forgotten is older than GDPR. But that link is not an offical source and has right to be forgotten in brackets as the actual right is the right to have data deleted.

And the main part is that it only affects data within the EU. Google can still process your data and even clearly tells you that they still have the data when they show you a link at the bottom of the search result that they removed results.

Edit:

Wikipedia has "The right to be forgotten was replaced by a more limited right to erasure in the version of the GDPR adopted by the European Parliament in March 2014."
