Yudkowsky tries to explain the hypocrisy, but he doesn't do anything to address the metaethical question, which TFA also hammers on. You can try to ground ethics naturalistically, as utilitarians do and Mencius did,* but once you do that, you're on the hook to make sure the outcomes connect to your ground, which EA completely fails to do.

The ground of ethics in Mencius is natural sentiment. You nurture your seeds of naturally good sentiments, and so grow into an ethical person who has mature sentiments. At the end of the process of maturation, you still have your seeds of desire intact and flowering in their fullest form.

The ground of ethics in EA/utilitarianism/Mohism is pleasure/pain/utility functions. That seems to make sense on the surface, but then the whole thing falls apart once you dig into it. The root of the thing is my instinct that I want my own utility function to be satisfied. Nothing in that root compels me to care about anyone else's utility. The logical thing to do is to just rewrite your own utility function to be happy with whatever happens and then stop trying to be a utilitarian or anything else! Why on earth should I rewrite it to "expand the circle" to use Singer's term or embrace "universal love" to use Moh's term? And if I could rewrite my utility function to care about others, why shouldn't we all just rewrite our functions to desire annihilation or whatever? The universe is already full of utility monsters. Am I supposed to slay them or let them slay me?

The fact that all the EA people end up being hypocrites is interesting just because it shows that end of the day they're not really able to put into practice the idea that their own utility is just one drop in a sea of cosmic utility. No one can.

* Mencius also appeals to Heaven as the source of our natural sentiments, so it's not a totally naturalistic system of ethics, but the system is pretty close to naturalistic, and you can choose to take that element of his system or leave it when you modernize him.
Here's the real problem with VR (taking your idea and saying it another way).

We trained our brains to know that we are going to 'trick' them with sight/sound all the time. TV, music in headphones, etc.

What VR doesn't do (apart from some of the weird Facebook prototypes you'll sometimes see) is affect any of the senses that actually make us feel immersed in a space.

So great, I'm looking at a beach and when I turn my head, it's still there. But it's 68 degrees in my apartment, I still feel the carpet on my feet, I still smell my partner cooking, etc.

It's honestly why a VR metaverse just seems so far away. My current problem with media is not that I can't see it anymore when I turn my head.
It’s uncommon for millions in an average program unless you’ve got a special use case. Typical usage would be a couple thousand.
This is a pretty minimal leak. I'm glad that the article is very clear about that. Given the somewhat recent iOS VPN leak reports, it would have been valuable for this article to state that their investigation was or was not motivated by those reports.
War on terror or war on anything. It's a complex thing. To hold on to power, a country must be constantly training their war machine. Wars are the best training for war. So say $7T is the cost of retaining power. What would the cost be of losing that power?

Despite this grim perspective, I have hope for the future of humanity.
The firing scam worked about a decade ago. Audit logs would fix it, assuming the company knew about them.

Alternatively... They could just not route inbound messages to "sent".

What possible reason would enterprise customers have to demand that certain incoming messages get black holed into a folder that no normal user will ever look at?
Don’t use it. Period.

Hey, you sound like me! I’ve been using SuperMemo daily for more than a decade, and I’ve noticed something similar. Processing information and thinking in terms of “how do I make a flashcard that covers this fact?” has been helpful at both making flashcards but also just general understanding stuff. Taking notes in my Notes app in the form of questions and answers has been very useful.
You're kidding, right? Nearly every book I've read on management emphasizes communication all the way down. It just comes in many forms.

Clear lines of communication

Culture of communication

Strong vision and storytelling

Open discussions and inclusive of disagreements

Managing "up"

etc

From my read of the NSA sections of the snowden docs, they didn't decrypt anything- they observed the Google front end that talked to the user was the end of the TLS chain and from there, inside Google's networks, the front end talked to its backends without any encryption, so as long as you had physical access to Google's network (which included intercontinental fiber) you could trivially sniff packets. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-i...

I can't find the article now but it had a picture of an NSA presentation with what was obviously a bigtable RPC (spend enough time debugging protocol buffers and stubby). From what I can glean, it seems likely that they tapped an undersea cable carrying Google's traffic between a frontend and a backend, although that's speculation.

The important people will still have office. MS just wanted too much money for office365 licenses, so a bunch of lower enlisted just dont have email right now (because of no licenses). This will bridge the gap.

"DEI is very important for basically any organization that doesn't want to be known as a bunch of exclusionary jerks"
exactly my point, now you have to push it or you have to be worried about being automatically labeled racist. How condescending and insulting.

"it's pretty hard for any new endeavor to be equitable without taking an extremely long and hard look at how the endeavor interacts with this massive legacy"
No, its not. Just welcome all, you don't have to say anything, just be good people.

I hear what you are saying but I don't think the answer is to constantly harp on it and I would think make it awkward for people of that race. Hey welcome to the coop, we really support Black people here. Sure they're black but they are people first and I have to think its tiresome from their point of view to constantly be reminded that white people see them as other. Its a superior point of view, look how noble we are, protecting the minorities with our power. I am sure the intent is good but I don't think it has the result that is intended. I have to take 4+ hours of classes this month at my employer to be told that I have to treat minorities well when much like this co-op 95% of leadership is white. Its condescending and I don't just mean to me. Just don't be racist and treat people like people. I guarantee just saying this has as much impact as the 4 hours of classes I have to take and their "8th principal"

One of my classes I had to take at a very, very large company told me that if I help out a minority and they get offended to not argue back, but "sit there in my shame". Its reached insanity levels and I think having the opposite effect. At what point does it start driving people that are generally center based politically further to the right. I was surprised as a generally life long liberal when it started to do that to me. I'm not voting for Trump but for the first time in my life I'm likely voting for a Republican governor primarily because of this sort of stuff.

Apologies for my rant, I guess it had been on my mind.
It's comparing the same title (roughly, with some errors, but that's expected I think), and returning many editions. Some of those editions might be trade paperbacks, some might be mass-market on newsprint, depending on the book.

(One book I searched returned among other things an audiobook on cassette.)
Thanks! Not to discourage anyone from using Vercel services if they’re interested (y’all are doing great stuff on this and lots of other fronts), but! I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the unpublished-but-MIT-licensed repo I could find.

For anyone else who’s curious it looks like the pertinent source[1] can be self-hosted. I’m on mobile so I’m gonna limit my peering into the source, but it appears to wrap Chromium to do the PNG generation. Quite a bit different from my solution (which takes SVG-producing JSX and anything producing CSS, and renders to PNG with Sharp).

I’m curious how much overhead using Chromium adds, and whether alternatives like Sharp were considered.

The people of Saudi and Venezuela already don't have self-determination! They are ruled by brutal dictatorship today.

As far as post-war governance, I suggest the Marshall plan. Japan and Germany are models for how to occupy a country with great results.

I feel like because the USA has made mistakes, people jump to a defeatist attitude and take the position that literally anything we do is a mistake by definition.
Doesn’t that break things for the MooTools equivalent(s) that called the method `flat`?
Office 365 provides multiplayer spreadsheets, in addition to a great desktop client, and the ability to work in-browser if you prefer.
The birthrate in Japan isn't that much lower than the US, and it's higher than China and much higher than South Korea. All the developed nations have low birthrates now, so it's not unique to Japan, though it is lower than most.
> you are also admitting that hydrogen fuel cells are just as efficient.

You've pulled that delusion out of thin air. Fuel cells aren't batteries. Li-Ion gets ~90% conversion efficiency while fuel cells may get ~60%.

And with hydrogen that's only if you use it right after you've generated it. As soon as you need to compress and transport it, you're losing a lot more. Batteries charge from the grid, which itself has single-digit percentage losses. Hydrogen fuel cells can't do that, they have tremendous inefficiencies as the Department of Energy quote already stated.

Hydrogen fuel cells are far more expensive and vastly less efficient than batteries. There's absolutely no reason to continue to push the former when the latter is immensely practical and available today.

But you seem to ignore all information that doesn't bode well for your hydrogen dream, so I expect you'll find yet another reason to disregard this as well.

Farewell.

LOL yeah. He lured a bunch of his old buddies from retirement with fat packages as if those old Intel-lifer hacks had any fresh ideas to contribute. Pat is literally an Intel swamp creature that somehow managed to pass himself off as some kind of tech genius despite not having been in a technical role at Intel since the 286, after which he was fast-tracked into management.

I worked in Pat's org years ago and neither he nor his lieutenants had any talent other than fighting Intel political battles.

This is a psychological thing called the freeze response that activates as your brain responds to stress.

You may want to find a therapist who can help you work it out. This can develop in school in response to "difficult" academic tasks as in ones we have no prior experience with. For example, a lot of folks will freeze in math class for example so much that they then decide not to do math to avoid triggering the response.

It is quite common in perfectionists and folks with high anxiety. Fortunately, you can reprogram your brain.

BTW you're not alone, happened to me a lot. It really hits hard when you also have imposter syndrome.

My advice is therapy to learn to enjoy the journey and problem solving process.

Many folks below have ideas for that. Most basic, work on programming projects that are low value to learn skills and take it step by step. When you get stuck, break something down into smaller steps or find away around it.

Even if your project or product doesn't ship, take comfort in that you learned something.
I recently implemented a similar concept to this for HTML emails at shortwave.com, it only works for the subset of non table emails (which we assume are marketing emails and you want to see the full HTML). It allows us to render stuff wayyy faster (especially on mobile where webviews are not cheap). We don't go all the way to pixel layout because we want to have some responsiveness, but it allows for heavily normalized emails (no more neon yellow on a green background with comic-sans font) and some other neat optimizations.

Didn't use yoga but a from scratch implementation. A good starting point is let's build a browser engine [1]. I hope to blog about it at somepoint.

The twofaced advertising really bothers me - they promote the iPad pro as if it's a "pro" laptop/desktop replacement, but it's clearly just designed for the same use cases as any other iPad/Android tablet.
It may be a chicken and egg thing. Maybe sexual discrimination, sexist repression and misogyny are a reaction to some earlier male catastrophe, and every few thousand years the scales tip in calamity back in that direction, and patriarchy slowly makes gains over centuries until back on top in repressing women, the process repeating when women have had enough.
It bears pointing out there are skeptics around the entire concept of wine tasting: "even trained, professional palates are terrible at judging wine"[1] let alone everybody else.

My takeaway is drink whatever you enjoy and ignore the price, the label, and the snobs.

There are many proofs. But some people are too blind or too proud to see them. You can check out provingislam.com for a teaser.
Fascinating perspective. Can you elaborate?

In particular, given that Javascript predates App Stores by many years (I would hazard an unresearched guess at over a decade), and that Javascript serves myriad purposes in websites that have nothing to do with apps, this assertion requires extraordinary justification.

Thats an interesting point. The beach is a particularly high sensory input environment though. I have been thinking about something like the Yakuza games in VR, which is essentially just a accurate simulation of walking around a Tokyo neighborhood at nighttime. In a nighttime urban environment it seems to me sound is the defining sense, you wouldn’t necessarily care what the temp or smell was.

You mean add a level of indirection to every class access?

Also there is already compression for that pointer, making it 32 instead of 64 bits.
"The normal claim is that police are killing black individuals unnecessarily. The claim you have offered is just that claim dressed in dramatic clothing."

This is plainly false.

Claims that police arbitrarily kill people, or are 'killers' etc. are all over the web..

That you would blind yourself to the radical populism in some corners because maybe you don't want it to exist is not helpful.

Here's a completely random example:

"cops are serial killers. paid, protected serial killers who believe their jobs entitle them to take human life. over and over. they lie. they kill. they lie again. repeat. "

This is one of literally millions of such Tweets.

How could you possibly suggest that such language does not exist when it's rampant?

If that example isn't specific enough for you, then just Google a bit and you'll have your examples.

"a harmful lie like Sandy Hook and mass promotion of same in the fashion you have. Both should be illegal in the same way that starting a house on fire isn't any more legal "

Again, utterly false.

So plainly wrong, that I'm sure you can't have actually thought it through.

Do realize this Orwellian implications of governing speech to the point wherein saying something that is 'non factual' is tantamount to a crime?

It's not even a 'slippery slope' it's already ultra authoritarian.

Again: hop on to Twitter, right now, by your logic, millions of people would be charged with crimes, daily.

"If you don't know that dead children aren't crisis actors or forest fires aren't caused by jewish space lasers and you can't be educated you should probably be fined or imprisoned into silence so that the rest of society can move on."

You seem to have a wilful lack of understanding of what is happening in pop culture and in the commons, and yet want to enact vicious authoritarian violence on people for arbitrary words?

I wonder if you realize that you're a fascist authoritarian?

You are exactly what we are afraid of.

People can believe what they want to believe and say what they want to say, unless it really starts to damage others, and that's a high bar.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the follow me is visual.

I doubt the phone GPS would be accurate enough to keep you in frame - remember, if you were only using GPS for tracking like that, then you're getting both the error of the phone GPS as well as the error in the drone GPS.

I've only really seen it in action on a DJI mini 3 pro.

I believe you can do follow me from the controller without a phone involved at all.
Well, you just convinced me.

I don’t know why more IPs aren’t hopping on the VR immersion bus. People would pay decent money just to roam around their favorite locales from TV shows/movies.
There are distinct limitations- there is a team that "polices" memegen and will send you (and your manager, and HR) threatening emails (including suggesting job termination) if you post something that's not very nice.

Back in the day somebody made a meme which had a D&D alignment chart for all the Google leaders- Vic Gundotra was Chaotic Evil, while Urs was Lawful Good. Had to take it down because an SVP complained.

I had a vehicle that would switch to night mode, with a lag, every time I drove under a bridge. So just as I was coming out from under a bridge, the nav screen would flash to black background before realizing it wasn't night and flashing back to normal. Manual or time based is better imo
Yeah, but that's the shit I can teach them easily on the job. I'd rather their degree teach them the answers to the "why" kinds of questions. It's more onerous for me to schedule someone to shadow them and answer those.

I love how billions are being thrown around ideas like let's do a blockchain Twitter, whatever the hell that is, and Musk is like yeah that's not a real thing, and the other guy is like whatever, my client Sam Bankman-Fried is good either way to sling that 5 billion. Money is apparently not an issue when you have an offshore cryptocurrency exchange totally not used for financing crimes around the world, and also Biden it looks like. In the United States a political party accepting millions from a scumbag crypto lord is not a problem, they are totally able to serve the interest of the people instead of their own interest and the interest of this guy.
> How?

Two ways:

1. Some people will naturally want to move out of their rent-controlled apartment, for example to be closer to a new job or to get more space for a newborn. Those people are disincentivized to move because rent control means they are currently paying below-market rent.

Incidentally, that also increases traffic congestion because nobody wants to move across town to be closer to work. So you commute to where I live and I commute to where you live, instead of us both living within walking distance of work.

2. Rent control normally does not include an adjustment for inflation. And, when it does, the rule is usually "rent can increase by x% of rent or y% of CPI, whichever is lower ". That means that over decades, rent falls in real-dollar terms.

Since potential landlords can do math (they have that technology) they can see that the ROI of an apartment building (measured in decades) is lower in places with rent control. That disincentivizes them to buying or building apartments.

Lastly, it seems like you're really trying to hang your hat on zoned capacity. The thing is that zoning can change. If the ROI looks right, landlords will lobby the city for a zoning variance to increase capacity. If it doesn't, they won't.

The entire Middle East would be significantly better of than it is today if the "west" (mostly the UK, US, and France) had simply not invaded or significantly interfered with any middle eastern country from WWII onwards (so no coups, for starters).

Unfortunately it's a little too late for that, so we're left with the current clusterfuck of a situation.
