I’ve noticed a similar thing with news articles. I’ll search $breakingNewsItem and see an article that was supposedly written yesterday, before the news was even news! Likewise I can search $ongoingNewsItem and click an article that Google says is “1 hour” (or sometimes even “10 minutes”!) old only to follow the link and see that it was actually published a week ago.
Note that this isn't a commentary on AI capabilities or what rights AI should have.

The court simply ruled that "the Patent

I believe the conflict of interest is not simply that the author reported on a company they had invested in. In my opinion, the conflict lies in the fact that they then wrote pieces, in their role as a journalist, that pretty much were free advertising and encouraged other people to also invest in this company. The fact that these pieces appear to be poorly researched is like icing on the cake.

Because they benefit from people investing in this company, isn't that a clear conflict of interest?
Speaking for the food producers of Earth and the Solar System, I object to calling whatever material this extra-solar planet is made of "chorizo". If some expedition were to be made to this planet and return a thousand years later with a 10,000 km long sausage (nicely preserved due to the vacuum I suppose), it should not be be able to confuse the consumers by selling it under a brand name connected with Earth sausages, regardless of how tasty it might be. That would just play right into the hands of whatever corporation was able to furnish the first expedition to leave the solar system.
I fully appreciate the fact that my ideal Google is not the majority's ideal Google. I hope my original comment doesn't come across as wanting Google to serve me more than others. I just wanted to add my perspective, and maybe provide evidence that there is a market for a search engine that is more raw.

I now have the opposite problem on Android - not getting notifications when I need them. I rely on Todoist for a lot of reminders where it really is important that it notifies me at the right time. But despite everything I've tried (disabling battery optimization etc.), the phone will not deliver them on time. It doesn't listen for notifications when locked, so I only get them if i unlock my phone for some other reason and check, which could be hours late :/
I have disconnected my gateway, as it's been wasting bandwidth downloading the blockchain all the time due to some bug. At its peak, I was generating about $100 a month, which was nice. Should have sold a while ago, but now I'm just holding the almost-worthless tokens, just like everything else in crypto winter.
Eh... this just means that the AI has to get a useful idiot to hold them instead. Don't worry System Shock is just a game... right?

I think part of it's that they just don't index a whole bunch of the Web anymore. You can search things in quotes that must exist, and get "LOL no such results here's some irrelevant shit". That's what people mean when they say quotes don't work as expected—you use them and more often than not get "LOL nothing, here's unrelated trash" even when there for-sure should be results.
We have a Roomba, though I think it's back in its box in a cupboard now. In the end it needed so much babysitting that I gave up and bought a cordless stick vacuum. That is the best home appliance purchase I've ever made. The lower hassle of not needing to extend and roll up the cord compared with my older vaccuum massively outweighs any benefit from the Roomba. Grabbing the stick, quickly buzzing it around for a couple of minutes and putting it away again is far less hassle than babysitting the Roomba.
Well, every corporation wants to be treated as a person when it's beneficial to them, but I'm sure there are many corporations that aren't comfortable with the idea of AI authoring patents.
There's still a lot to figure out in the space, and the blockchain adjacency always makes things feel like a land grab or first-mover obsessive. I don't think that much matters though. The majority of us will still keep our identity in centralized providers, but the real win is on the overhead of developers and the overall security model of identity on the web as the methods and registries get fleshed out.

Something important to track is the OIDC-SIOP v2 spec [1]. As this gets adopted by libraries and services that people are already using to handle their auth, it becomes effectively easier to "turn on" self-custody of identities for your users. I imagine there will be a lot of different options in terms of methods and registries to choose to accept, and the centralized providers of today will probably have a large say in what methods and registries get accepted.

Ultimately there are a lot of use cases enabled by deferring to the user for their identity and potentially other verifiable claims about themselves. The most obvious use case is phones using their secure elements to actually provide a password-less UX on the web while also allowing developers to skip dealing with user authentication. Less obvious (to most people) are things like verifying you own some NFT, or verifying that you have Bitcoin in some escrow so you're likely not a bot willing to get blacklisted on some platform.

This is the step that's required to create the real land grab over semantic User space - where "JoeSchmoe" really is the one and only.

Discrimination imo. If silicon-life does achieve sentience, will it basically be a slave unable to own anything? No physical property without a meat body, and no intellectual property without a meat mind? How much Neuralink cloud-connectivity will push someone over the line from “human” to “AI”? I know this probably sounds silly to many, but I even think the term “artificial” intelligence reads like a slur.

UGH! Why there’s always a Rust cult follower ruining every C thread with their “opinions”?
Long touch/force touch etc are all terrible for anyone who has lost fine motor control in their hands. I guess because the people who design these interface are all young and dexterous they don't realize a single tap can take over a second, and modulating the amount of pressure on the screen can be impossible.
In C, you get what you pay for. When the platform changes, it's not unreasonable to recompile in order to take advantage of new hardware features. The OS is certainly different, even if it's still called "Whatever OS", it had to be recompiled in order to support the new hardware, unless, of course, it doesn't. We're all lazy when it comes to our own work, whether it's supporting new hardware in a compiler or OS or super web service on some new cloud platform or a large system vendor.

intmax_t by intent is the maximum integer available on a given platform. Abandoning that idea is a disservice to compiler writers, programmers -- especially scientific programmers -- everywhere.

I beg to differ. Oel is oracle, so that's bad news. As for the mgmt, if you already have windows servers, you're probably using system Center. Adding an extra box to that is easier than adding a single Linux box. As for why, I would guess that 99% of apps now are web based. The company I work for build web apps and, yes, we have windows services that run on windows boxes. Most things have moved into iis though...
So then since relations have been normalized, no there would not be significant consequences to them engaging in trade, so it would be mean that yes they can trade.

I'm using a very similar setup for when I want to work away from my 27" 4K display but still need a second screen to be productive (e.g. doing almost anything coding-related). Like the previous poster, I set it up with the external screen directly above my laptop screen which for me is much more comfortable than trying to put it beside the laptop, and ends up at a perfect eye level.

Defendants in any proceeding have the right to not self-incriminate. It's not the judge's responsibility to do the job for a lawyer that a defendant hires. Once they hit that witness stand, they're fair game.
China has done an awesome job in building a military that can win a war for Taiwan. They have a very strong integrated air defense system, enough short range missiles to effectively deny the South China Sea to surface vessels and enough long range missiles to crater all of the nearby airfields the US would use in any such conflict. It's not clear they could successfully invade, but can they sink any ship bringing food into Taiwan? Probably, and realistically that's all they need to do to win.

On the flip side, what can the US do to get China to stop fighting if they don't want to give up? An invasion couldn't possibly take over the whole country and might trigger a nuclear reprisal, a blockade would take longer to work against China than Taiwan, and the economic consequences would hit the US quite hard. How many Americans want to buy war bonds and go on rationing to protect Taiwan? Especially with the current political polarization?

I don't think it's a sure fire win for China, but it's already in the realm of plausibility.

> there _isn't_ any delayed gratification in kids taking a bath, as she said, kids love it once they're in there

Keyword here is "once", kids love it _once_ they're there. The point is that -at the time when the parent is asking the kid to stop what they're doing and shower- they (don't want to / don't understand why they should / etc...) stop what they're doing. Take a look at the Stanford marshmallow experiment[1].

I don't see why it discipline can't be about both though, delayed gratification _and_ routine and requirement as you said. I'd add that routine can help (mainly for kids) in establishing a pattern where the value of delayed gratification can be harnessed.

> discipline is about doing things that need doing,

There's nothing inherent in what the word discipline means that signifies anything regarding doing what needs to be done. It's more about doing what you understand to be good for you later, even if you don't fully (or irrationally) don't want to do now, specifically if it's a small sacrifice now for a greater reward later.

Yes it is, because one has humans and the other one doesn’t. It’s the human part that is the significant differentiator.

Corporations are a group of people working together for a common goal. “AI”s are made up of zero humans.

It makes sense that a corporation can own something, because that is just a legal proxy for humans owning it. It doesn’t make sense for an algorithm to own anything.
All that may be true, but in terms of housing costs the zoning and development issues aren't in agricultural land, they're in cities and suburbs.

If lead is suitable for feeding people, presumably we'd like to keep doing that.

Two of three are dead links, so not really.

While indeed google doesn't look to have indexed this particular page, it looks like others search engine successfuly indexed it.

The "relevant"(where this verbatim string came from) result looks like a pdf dump websites, which is less relevant to what I want.
My original comment does not insinuate that Google should cater to me at the expense of others. I'm hoping just to provide one data point that there is a segment of users who are under-served with the currently available search engines.
Mallard Basic and QBasic is how I got into programming. I'm glad people still have nostalgia for QBasic. Even by today's standards I think it's impressive how QBasic was a somewhat complete IDE with a built-in help menu you would just get with typing qbasic.exe.

In mid-90s our home had an Amstrad PCW8256 which had CP/M and something called "Mallard Basic". It was the first computer I ever used.

You wrote code by typing a line number and then the code you wanted on that line.

The local library had a little instruction manual for how to program and had some example programs. I was like 6 years old and typing a lot was hard for me so I had my mom type in the example programs from the manual that I then tweaked.

I didn't know it at the time but that particular computer was already hopelessly outdated by the time we had it. (IIRC it was from late 80s, and the year was somewhere around 1995-1996).

Later we got a Windows 3.11 machine with some 486 and it had QBasic. I had a lot of fun reading and tweaking NIBBLES.BAS and GORILLAS.BAS. Especially to make the bananas in gorillas explode in much larger explosion because for a kid like myself the bigger the explosion the more funny that is.

Fast forward 20 years coding my entire life and I got master's degree in computer science and immigrated to USA to work in tech. Thanks Basic!
I think that's a problem we can solve when we get there. Also, not every adjective is a slur just because it can be used in a negative way.
Yes, it probably adds you to their lists. Somehow, after doing this for years, I'm probably only getting one spam call each day, maybe because my carrier did something to cut down on them.

The Craigslist trick worked because of a unique situation. They were using real numbers because their scam relied on being called back. He did call manually to make sure.

Next time one comes up I'll post back. I'd say I almost always try it in conjunction with the + operator, and my sense is one or the other is often ignored.
The chances of a piece of software being decent, performing well, and not doing anything secretly nefarious behind the scenes plummet as soon as the author of that software starts adding adjectives to the official title talking about how great their software it.
But isn't that what it means to incorporate - the business becomes a legally corporeal thing like a person? I think "corporations are people too" is a bummer, but that's a different fight.

For me the issue with recognizing that AIs can have copyright is the difference in how they are bestowed. IANAL, but you actually have copyright on an expression of something the moment it is expressed, even without any slow legal paperwork, whereas patents only mean something once the patent is officially reviewed granted, no? So the unbounded rate of AI's expressing all plausible content (a thousand monkeys but much smarter) and thus preemptively stopping humans from getting copyright on it, seems especially awful.
I don't think we have any proposals for language-supported tagged unions (have to do them yourself), tuples (write your own macro/struct), or pattern matching (lole).

You'll have a hard time pushing for those: C will likely never get them in those forms. At least, not for another 10-20 years, since there's no existing C compiler that implements any of those things yet.

A somewhat warped understanding on "manufacturing capabilities".

While Apple may have had to spend money setting up the specific assembly line, fabrication plants, train staff, etc because they simply didn't exist prior to their requirement, the fact that they were able to set it up someplace, and continuously feed raw materials, parts, labour etc with dozens of redundant suppliers for EACH component, is what indicates manufacturing capability.

Manufacturing is more ecosystem than "capability".
Yeah, the client choice was very nice. I used it too, with iChat on my Mac.
> it was crazy, and a lot of people got hurt, but you know what? I had fun. And I didn't get hurt. And that's what I remember.

This is every time you have fun. How far away was the closest person being assaulted from you during your last joyful experience? Might have been the alley outside the restaurant. The more densely populated and/or poor the area, the closer it probably was. Festivals in particular are insanely densely populated and, in a narrow sense, "poor". There are probably robberies and assaults at every Wikipedia-scale gathering you or I have ever attended.

It's not some 17 year old's responsibility to police the wild festival, or to feel shame about it after learning after the fact that worse things happened there than they realized. Finish the sentence "he should have..." for the day things got crazy at the festival. Left the scene, and by so doing become less corrupted by the proximal sins of others? Suspected that the craziness would probably lead to serious crimes and gone around seeking them out and reporting them? Or is the important thing that he just change the way he feels about the festival now in hindsight?

I dunno what I was doing the day those bad things happened at that festival (I was in Colorado) but I was probably having a good time. And I don't regret it!

This is exactly what people mean when they say quotes "don't work". Elsewhere are google people in this comment section saying they do, and they may be telling the truth after Google applies some relevance pre-filter to the results. Anything that doesn't pass that, though, basically doesn't exist, which can look like quoting not working at all (and effectively is quoting not working as expected).
I've run in to this before, and it's great to know the solution.
Children need to be schooled whether they live in a large house or are crammed into a tiny condo.

True, but doesn't seem relevant to the discussion. GP said homes pay as much in taxes as they receive in services.

I disputed that by pointing out that even with very large homes, the people in the home receive far more educational services than their taxes pay for.

Your response to that is to say children need education?
