>But I think you will probably be able to agree that since mathematical research is something human minds are capable of it's something that an AGI should be capable of, i.e. if an AI approach is inherently incapable of it, it's not AGI.

Indeed. To be clear, I'm not saying I think any current system is remotely close to AGI. I just think that saying that no one is thinking about or making progress on a math research AI is inaccurate.

I had the same experience, I hated high school...but I have to admit, the school in our lil town of 15K people was pretty dam good. Not a lot of electives, but we got really good grounding in basics: 4 years English, 4 years math (up to basic calculus), 4 years science (including physics, chem and bio). We even had an 'Environmental Studies' science class - and that was back in the 80s.

I also found it gave us a more 'self learner'/ 'figure it out' attitude. Contrasting with a lot of my peers and younger, it seems like 90% of what they ask is just a google away... Also, being able to reason about unknown error messages or system behavior seems to be a challenge for a lot of them.

Because they are not against racial discrimination.
What would you consider a major organization? I'll happily grant that the New York Times won't let you do that, but it's common for your Voxes (https://www.vox.com/culture/23357114/the-little-mermaid-raci...) or Rolling Stones (https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/black-litt...) to write articles on the topic of "I found some people saying mean things on social media".
Once upon a time these were usually posts on one own blog (self-hosted or not), started with a HOWTO keyword and helped the people just in the same way. Nowadays everything developer must be on GitHub or it won't ever be noticed.

This is one of the major benefits of LSD (long, slow, distance) running, especially for people who have (a slight) ADHD (like me).

It allows you to have solitude. I can't sit down and think quietly for an hour, because I .. just can't cope with the lack of stimuli. Running provides some baseline stimulus at least (plus I always set a specific goal, either a distance or a time goal so that I don't give it up), so I just need to survive the first 30 mins and then I get in the flow to some extent. Most of the good work I've done was actually done during long weekend runs -- then I have the week to actually do what I figured out during the run.

From "The House of Asterion" by Jorge Luis Borges:

"It is true that I never leave my house, but it is also true that its doors (whose numbers are infinite) (footnote: The original says fourteen, but there is ample reason to infer that, as used by Asterion, this numeral stands for infinite.) are open day and night to men and to animals as well."

We’re a social species so a big component of our thinking is in community with others. When that community is healthy our rougher edges are smoothed out, when that community is lopsided or absent altogether then we drift and warp.

I don't run as much as I used to but empathize with this. It's fine to mix it up too. When I was doing longer runs I'd listen to a long podcast.

With weight lifting and higher intensity exercise I make a point to not listen to music to build up a tiny bit of mental toughness and be stuck with The Suck and also myself. Music is a crutch.
Poker is certainly not just about chance; skill, particularly aptitude for maths and psychology are important at high levels. Chance does play a role though, which is generally not the case in chess.

In the highest levels of chess, psychological fortitude and physical fitness are also important.
For the moment, it's just one person (myself). I've been working on this project for the last year. I started a company in order to be able to receive donations and hopefully raise some money from YCombinator or VCs.

My long term plan is to make an open source alternative to Google Workspace (not just e-mails and calendars but also Documents, Spreadsheets, etc) but I won't be able to do all that by myself so that is why I'll start looking for funding in the near future.

Ask HN: Is changing my job too much frowned upon?
I've had six professional experiences, of which two were internships. I've spent between 7 and 12 months in each. Even though I believe there were good reasons for leaving each one of them, people and HR may not care about it, or at least they won't see it at first.

I've had an insane, racist and homophobic boss in one, and I had to deal with psychological harassment in another. Then, I went abroad and had to come back to my country after a year. After that, I got a new job. It had an amazing culture and it was one of the best places to work, but I discovered hated consulting, so I had to leave.

Nowadays, I am in an amazing company, but things are going south for months already, and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't believe that the product we're building is really going to save the world as the CEO promises, and I often disagree with the business and product decisions. Also, the whole team they had before mine left the company in less than one week because they couldn't take it anymore.

At this point, I just feel like I am giving up and not fighting enough. I love the software engineering world and I have no will to leave it. Now I am a Software Engineer and SRE looking for opportunities in which I work in what I truly believe: open source, communities, solving complex issues, innovating and sharing knowledge.

I'd love to read your opinions about this. I am also taking any good articles about this subject.
What‘s in it for them? Flash is dead, creators and (web-)app developers moved on to HTML5+ APIs and JS libraries/frameworks.

Capturing a consistent snapshot of all goroutines requires stopping the world. However, this can be very quick as the GC relies on the same mechanism.

The bigger problem is capturing the stack traces for all goroutines. Rhys added a patch to Go 1.19 [1] that mostly moves this work outside of the critical STW section, which greatly reduces the overhead. Unfortunately this improvement only applies to the official goroutine profiling APIs, and those do not provide details such as goroutine ids. This means fgtrace has to use runtime.Stack() which returns the stack traces as text (yikes) and isn't optimized like the other goroutine profiling APIs.

There are various ways the implementation details of fgtrace and the Go runtime could be improved for this use case (wallclock timeline views), and I'm hoping to work on contributions in the coming months.

I see it as a war of generations. The boomers/genXers are eager to preserve their wealth and are once again dumping on young people. The 70s was a period of high inflation, it was also, according to piketty a period of high income equality for the world over. The central banks are going beyond what is mandated by them. If I were young, i would not take that deal.

Inflation isn't increasing much in August - relatively to July, but July was still high.

That graph needs to go negative (a decrease in the inflation rate each month) for a long time before we get back to something "normal" like 2-3% inflation.
My gut feeling is that most of the comments on Reddit are written by teenagers. In the real world there are plenty of context clues that I use to determine if someone is worth listening to or not. On the internet, you have to assume in good faith that a given comment was written by someone who has enough life experience to be taken seriously.

Strange article,

fyi poker gets mentioned in last paragraph and is barely even connected to chess.

ie, you can use AI to cheat in chess and poker, and there have been cheating scandals in both... therefore chess is poker now <question mark>

Socrates claimed that he was not, in fact, corrupting the youth. Given that a group of Athenians then found him guilty of that to the point where he felt obliged to kill himself it seems fairly likely that his peers suspected him of arguing in bad faith.

A bad-faith heretic! Double the crimes that I initially thought. Maybe we do need to keep his dangerous ilk out of universities, he would no doubt have been harshly judged on HN at the time if they'd had HN back in the good old days.

More seriously, the academics have perfectly fine standards - to be an academic you need to have studied something deeply and make logical arguments. To speak on campus you need to be sponsored by an academic. That really is all that is needed and they're reasonably objective bars to meet. None of this "oh no he's got bad faith!" stuff that is trotted out for politics. Argue about the outcomes of policies, not the unobservable mental state of the people putting the policies.

It's not just the word liberal, which means something different for most Americans than its meaning in other countries. In Australia, the Liberal party is the conservatives who are allied with Murdoch.

The word "neoliberal" is also a problem.
It is used negatively and aimed at a broad swath of center-left to center-right.

But in other countries, the people called "neoliberals" would be understood to be conservatives.
Instead of using "n*liberals", we should be calling them "conservatives". Larry Summers, for example, is a conservative.

Issue is that Quarcus advertises as the new, hip framework but what it does it still reuses the old pre-17 constructs. It should use the latest and greatest from Java if it wants to be a game changer, not repeating what Spring did with their support for old, deprecated JDK releases.

Try a run that is much longer (eg, 3 hours), then see how your 1.5 hour run feels. Usually you need a larger-than-normal stimulus to elicit adaptation. In my experience, the mind adapts to these things and will essentially learn to shut off.

I treat it as meditative, "connect with nature" time. Treadmills, however, are indeed terrible, but then it's easy to watch things. I was never a fan of listening to things while running, some combination of having to have volume high enough to cover the wind noise, and wanting to maintain situational awareness.
> compare systemd's timers to cron implementations sharing crontab format, or systemd journal to syslog implementations, sharing its standardized protocols.

Well, but then you must be aware that you are leaving lot of effectiveness, unification and deduplication on the table.

See, many people think of systemd as if it was init replacement that grew timer support too. They are looking at the wrong level of abstraction: it is an event machine, that manipulates units when events happen. That event might be boot to certain runlevel, timer, hotlplug, incoming request on socket, dbus activation, whatever.

By cutting and dragging out one of the event handlers outside into special-cased, custom flow component that duplicates existing functionality anyway, you are ending up with a worse system.
Corporate taxation is a great tool for managing inflation but our legislature is gridlocked and taxes are not popular. It's a shame because they would be particularly effective right now w/ rate raises.
You know high inflation makes it worse to be poor right? Especially core inflation.

That's a misunderstanding of poker at a high level.

While poker does have a significant element of chance in a given hand, it's no accident that top players consistently make more money over the long run.

Knowing how much to bet based on your odds of winning a hand, figuring out what your opponent's hands could be based on how they're betting, etc. all take skill. There's a reason poker AI can consistently beat humans over the long run, a feat that would be impossible if poker was all about chance.

In fact, poker AI was a difficult area to create software in precisely because the game is one of imperfect information.
>> it's worth noting that it takes orders of magnitude more effort to fight against lies and misinformation than it does to create them

> How could this possibly be true. If that were the case then you could simply lie to a person until they accept a more reasonable position. Instead of using facts and evidence to support your position just lie to them and make stuff up. The fact that you cling to evidence in your arguments (I assume) means you don't really believe lying will sway people to your perspective.

I think you're making the mistake of assuming that everyone is willing to play the same ends-justify-the-means game, where they're OK with shamelessly lying if it can momentarily get someone to align with their faction. What the GP describes is only a dilemma if you have a commitment to the truth.

Also what you describe (counter cheap lies with more cheap lies), would actually play into the hand of a disinformation actor. In many cases they're not looking to persuade anyone of of anything, just increase confusion, cynicism, and disengagement; which reduce their adversary's capacity for making decisions and taking action.
Which is great until the inspector comes.
You're speaking of what is, and I'm speaking of what I believe should be. These two things are not in contradiction. Laws can and do change. There was no individual right to bear arms in the United States until the 2008[1], changing establish law for the past 200+ years at the time.

> Poker is about chance, chess is actual skill.

Maybe you missed it. Humans are now using deceit to trick opponents trained by AI. While they may not "look at" their opponent, they are using similar strategies deployed in poker such as bluffing/misdirection/cloaking etc.
It’s somewhat self-serving to think this, but my inference after spending time on this site is definitely the opposite.
> Don't go to college before you have a sense of what you are interested in learning.

It sucks that kids have to choose a major right out of high school now (if not before). I have an AA in undecided. When I went to community college (90's) I took art, computer programming, music production, and scuba diving. It was awesome. And it made deciding on a major for my BA much easier.

So a probably safe comparison is Ironmans or Ultramarathons (100 milers go for 17-18 hours for the top finishers). Usually you have to put in a huge amount of carbs per hour (50-80g/hr) and a high amount of calories (250-400 cal/hr). Hydration is obviously also very important and getting sodium will be key (1000mg/hr). Outside of that you can generally limit your body's usage of fat stores though at this length and time it is probably inevitable.

I would suspect that if properly hydrated and consuming calories (no easy feat after 12 hours because the stomach does really go to shit) maybe 600 net calories an hour (-1000/hr + 400/hr from nutrition) = 4-10 lbs (@3000 cal/lb).

Range provided because I suspect my calculations are a little off and I'm underestimating the calories burned and probably overestimating the ability to consume that many calories/hour.

TLDR: Probably 10 lbs if they are properly hydrated and fed (which this appears to be a VERY well supported achievement)
The article I referenced is old, so it is possible that Amzn (and the criminals) have evolved. It used to be randomly generated e-books, now it is a real book. Maybe Amzn checks to see if the uploaded material is legit, and rejects the old-style random text. By latching onto a real book, this becomes less of an issue.

As for the pricing, I am guessing it is just a side effect of the normal behavior. It would make sense for the criminal to not change from default settings when setting up the account, ergo include it in these algos.

I have never been to stormfront so I will have to take your word for it but your own explanation of their behavior betrays your point. Cesspool of civility is contradiction in terms that just means they discuss stuff you (and I) strongly disagree with cordially and respectfully. How they treat people who admit to not being white is what makes it a cesspool and also if their discussions go into things nearly universally agreed to be illegal (i.e. killing people, property destruction, etc). The other example is one of the exceptions where people know they are agreeing to suspend some aspect of civility that isn't related to something illegal when they enter the premises. Another example of that would be karen's diner chain in Australia.
Everyone should forget about "bean" and don't reuse that word.
