The first <50% of the article (7 paragraphs) was devoted to the cringe aspect. The next <50% (7 paragraphs) is actually devoted to the difficulties of the format and various companies phasing in MP4. And then there's a concluding paragraph.
IPFS is just ... fine. It more or less works, but it's not very good at what it does, and the only advantage it has over BitTorrent v2 is marketing and web gateways.

Outcome should still be proportional to effort and skill however.

There are many top-heavy systems where the top benefits far more than the middle even though the middle is close to as good. Consider sporting events where the second place receives 1/3 of the price of the winner, even if it was a very close finals. Yes, the winner played better, but not to the extent of warranting double the earnings.
"The American Dream" has also slippery sloped itself from a house with a white picket fence in a safe suburban neighborhood to if I don't become Elon Musk then there is no American Dream.

Nope, there will just be 2^8 tables (constant overhead per table) each with 2^24 24-bit keys.

If you start with an array of any N keys, they have 32N bits of information. But once you insert them all into an unordered set like this, you throw away information by losing the order. There are only (2^32 choose N) unique sets of N keys, which is less than N*2^32 for N>1. This checks out in your example - there is only one unique set of all the 32-bit integers, so that should take log2(2^32 choose 2^32) = 0 bits to store sets of this size.

Actually, I'd say 50fields/sec is the most popular frame-rate in-use around the world. Theatres still use 24fps or perhaps 48fps.

Shooting at 1200fps would make everybody happy. But 24fps works pretty well.
This paper is saying that the US distributes a greater share of high income people's income to lower income than Europe. Did you read the article?

Not sure how that’s possible as long as compound results exist.
Very good article. I hadn't even heard about the Adams Event before.
Not an exact fit but this sort of thing does happen https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/samsung-smart-t... . Basically any ad-tech nightmare you can think of already exists... targeted advertising, telemetry reporting, replacing ads in content with different ones, etc...

Currently smart TV's rely on home internet connectivity, but the current big fear is that they will start using things like Amazon Sidewalk or other 3rd party WiFi providers automatically, or even have manufacturers start embedding 4G LTE or 5G connectivity into the TV's itself so you can't isolate them without taking the thing apart and cutting out the antenna (and hoping there isn't a kill-switch if it can't call home).

This has been going on for a long time - part of the reason "dumb" monitors such as digital signage displays are so much more expensive than smart TV's is that they aren't subsidised by ads and telemetry.
Definitely worth it. I have actually used my classes in AI and Simulation Theory along with Numerical Analysis a ton. I started as a hacker--coder not cracker--from childhood with basic/assembler/c and only one undergrad comp sci course and often rely on my MSCS to lend authority to my knowledge of computers. It can't hurt to get a MIS masters instead or a masters in engineering management and lean heavily on the basics; Algorithms and Data Structures, Theory of computation, and operating systems/computer architecture. You can study simulation, ai or numerical analysis at your leisure using a MOOC. Stanford is great, so is the FastAi course. You will not need a ton of math beyond diff-eq and linear algebra, heavier on the linear algebra.
No politician wants to admit that the source of housing inflation is the government: ZIRP, QE, stimulus, deficit spending combined with ever greater regulations and restrictions on land use have fused together into ever rising housing prices.

It appears that no sensible politician is willing to admit the problem let alone propose comprehensive solutions.

Disclaimer: I'm just a guy with passable looks. I don't know what I'm talking about.

But it seems to me that "looks" is a game you can't win. You may be in the top 50% of males now, and the surgery will put you in the top 20%. Are you going to be content with that? Or will you think that you'll really arrive if you're in the top 5%? And if you get there, will you be content with that? Or will you think that you'll really have it made with another surgery, and arriving in the top 1%?

You can't win, because even if you're in the top 0.0001%, you're still looking at others and thinking "He's got a better smile than me. He's got better hair. He's got..."

You can't win. So don't start playing that game.

I find it especially concerning that your therapist opposes it. You may not find in this what your looking to find, and your therapist maybe can tell that that's what will happen.

it's not mean for storing all possible 32 bit integers. if you want to do that, it would take zero storage because the answer is just "yes".

what they are doing is using the fact that a hash table can be loaded to 80% or 90% and still work fine. but they can encode part of the data (the first byte) implicitly in the hashed address. it's kind of cheating because the user provides those bits back to the lookup function to get their answer, so they don't need to be stored. and saving one byte out of four means you store 75% which is a bigger gain than the loss due to the 80%-90% load-factor.

say you have a normal hash table with 90% load factor, and you need to store 100,000 32 bit words, it would take 32 * 100,000 / 0.9 = 3555555.

but if you use this (or some related) trick and only save part of the key, you'd have 24 * 100,000 / 0.9 = 2666666. which is even less than 32 * 100,000 if you used direct storage in a simple array.
Apparently our fate is intertwined with nature.
> We refer in this paper to “redistribution” as the operation of the tax-and-transfer system, mea- sured by the difference between pretax and posttax income inequality. By contrast, “predistribution” refers to all forms of government interventions (such as labor market regulations, minimum wages, educational investments, etc.) that drive pretax inequality levels (see section IV as well as Hacker and Pierson (2010) for a discussion of these concepts).
> Part of why I like the topic is because it’s so incendiary. After all, you’re trying to create and control a new life form. Isn’t that a teensy bit unethical?

Is it unethical to teach your kids manners and ethics so they're civilized? That's what alignment is, not whatever you're trying to paint it as.

Creating a murderous AGI is unethical, creating one with ethics is not. Not sure how you got this so backwards.

Not sure why you're being downvoted after offering a reasonable point.

I'd go even further and say that not destroying humanity would be unethical by any non human centric value system. There is little debate that we are in the midst of a mass extinction and that it is human caused.

Perhaps it might be more ethical to destroy human civilization rather than humanity itself. But I think there's a good case to be made either way.
The bootguard signing keys are probably the best thing to come out of this, if it leads to more users running their own firmware.

It is possible I misread it. If so, I would agree with your interpretation. There is a question of whether dying wish outweighs one's own moral compass ( and therefore is a moral failing ), but I accept your point especially if it is motivated by fear rather than consideration of one's principles ( I was never in that position, and hope I will never be, where I had to make that call ).

I don't think V2X beacons are going to help. Human senses are perfectly adequate for detecting pedestrians and cyclists. People fail to notice them for other reasons; I think a particularly significant reason is that most people find driving stressful and do it more than they would like to due to the built environment, leading to inattention.

In August I was in southeast Alaska right when pinks were starting their run. I caught a salmon with my bare hands right out of the water, it was amazing.

In Ketchikan's little waterways, there were so many salmon that it was mind-boggling. I grew up in the PNW so salmon is kind of a thing I was taught basically everything about from a very young age, but I don't think I ever grasped just the sheer insane quantity of salmon there.

Seeing some of the photos and hearing the stories of how the salmon cannery industry exploded and then dwindled due to overfishing made me realize just how bountiful the salmon were hundreds of years ago before all that land was stolen and colonized. It must have been incredible.

It's encouraging to see that it's being managed but there's still so much left to be done, and this article just shows that even though there's big swings, the whole ecosystem is very fragile.
Really? I've never seen one rated less than 15A, which is the same as NEMA 5-15R receptacles here in the US.

I would not recommend grabbing a random cheap android box off of eBay or wherever, as they sometimes have spyware pre-installed or run outdated versions of Android and are vulnerable to compromise.

I have a Vero 4K+ which I don't get much use out of (don't seem to find much time these days for movies/tv) but is a reasonably nice ARM64 device running a derivative of Debian Linux with OSMC on top... you can get in under the hood using SSH and mess around if you like, although it may break the warranty. My only complaint is I haven't had much luck using it for Amazon Prime video playback (needs a 3rd party community add-on, and something along the chain is causing weird stuttering issues... suspect a DRM issue), but I haven't spent too much effort on that. For SMB file playback and so on it works quite nicely.

> U.S.A. universities openly and notoriously give favorable treatment to the children of past alumni

Are these public colleges, paid for by tax money?

I suppose that private institutions have more leeway.

To my mind, the problem of the US higher education is that it was made "too" accessible by offering tuition loans, which result in young people taking on a large debt which they cannot even shake off by a personal bankruptcy. These "easy" money made tuition prices grow, while also producing some degrees that don't help to pay them off.

This is not the most helpful kind of higher education.
I really can’t wait for the time when something replaces Unix, C, and Smalltalk culturally.
> In other words, Europe has been much more successful than the US at ensuring that its low-income groups benefit from relatively good-paying jobs.

ie By "Predistribution" they assert that most European countries pay better at the low end and thus have less need to "redistribute" from the better paid end.

> it doesn't want anything that you didn't tell/construct it to want.

This is not correct. You can, in principle, construct a system with a set of random values, as but one proof by counterexample.

Another is an AI that is created as a blank slate learning agent with various feedback systems, and through interactions, it develops its own worldview. You didn't specifically construct it to want anything specific but it's "experiences" will shape it's future wants and thus behaviour.
Amusingly, I'd add that the paper mostly dodges the causal question (other than to say it's more equal with income), so it's title is kinda clickbait :).
That's not going to fix anything.

I am not sure if it's just so obvious that no one mentions it... This ccTLD attracted me many ears ago first of all because it reads as I/O (Input/Output), which adds a nice sounding and a meaningful ending to many project names. In addition, .net sounds too old school (I own a .net domain for personal email for over 20 years now).
I think the novel and interesting tech is still happening, its just that without the colorful ads for it on TV, and without the software being packaged up and sold with pretty box art that you can physically hold, it doesn't feel as much like a capital-E Experience. It's probably the Internet's fault that we don't do things like that anymore, but the upside is that we now have access to so many ideas and applications from all over, even ones that aren't commercially viable.

Some that look exciting to me are: an AI that lets you animate still photos realistically [1], a simple website that guides you to discover new parks, eateries, and other places near you [2], an AI that colorizes old black-and-white photos/video [3], a Street View style map of the game world from "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", with some 1st person 360 degree photos [4], and a tiny game engine that lets you distribute your whole game physically via printed QR codes [5].

If marketing and graphic design people ever felt like getting together to do some 'side projects', I vote that they should make print ads for apps/websites that they like :)

This paper is also saying that the US concentrates high income more (ie. fewer people are a lot richer) and thus there is more "back pressure" of money flowing from a few very wealthy to many not so wealthy .. and despite that European countries have a "better off" class of "poor" - as they tend to be better paid to begin with than their equivilents in the USofA.

On further review, this is actually stupid, but OTOH the bridge is still slightly alive, so my original point was not completely wrong.
Even in a cheap area in a western red state, last year, flippers bought a house, slapped a for sale sign and doubled the price the next month. Those are still sitting unsold. And now houses are being bought by flippers who are slapping an extra 2.5 times the price they got it for in the same month. None of these houses are selling. Just sitting empty.

I think we are saying the same here. Yes it’s 100% about keeping the conflict alive and thereby keeping your reins on power.

By default I mean that before modern times, in the past, when the country was young it was about survival and hence about land and all the ideology and history stories we had around it. But those times have passed. Today we are a power house in the Middle East to be reckoned with. For now almost the last country standing with a functioning (funny I know) government in the area. We are not fighting for land. Our neighbors are powerless to give us another 1973. And yet we cling to the same stories and send our sons and daughters to do the dirty deeds of our (and their) politicians so they could keep their reins on power.
