> Live sports are with people and people don't like watching others be manipulated.

I'm pretty sure I've seen lots of deceptive and misleading strategies and tactics in football and other sports, not to mention multiple forms of "faking." Also a core part of sports like football seems to be putting pressure on the person with the ball - up to and including physical tackling.

Clock/time management also seems to be a thing.

When I worked at a certain red Mobile operator, We did something similar to what is described in this article. A few times a year the teams got together separately and listed down all the things we could see that needed doing, and aligned them to the strategy and direction of the department and business. I quite liked it.

I feel like we are at a point where AGI has to be be defined in a different way. This kind of list isn't enough, in my opinion to help actually delineate weak and strong AGI. At a layman's understanding of technology the way a computer works is as equally "magical" as seeing the output of the stable diffusion model. And creating art is a very clear step into "thinking".

For many people AGI is already here. They have Siri and Alexa, AI art, GPT3 based therapy/chat bot, a chat bot that will help them write a book, and "soon" will drive their car for them. The Google Duplex assistant demo where it booked an appointment made it clear to me that for some people, that's the smartest they need AI to be. Anything more is just extra.

I am really excited about how far we're going to push AI in my lifetime, but I also realized that for many scenarios, weak AGI is enough. People will project their own expectations and essentially help fool themselves. I don't know if testing a model to perform the same as a human matters in some ways.

There's one big skill that I personally value the most when it comes to qualifying hard AI, and that's the ability of it to make me laugh based comedic irony. I wonder what that model would look like.

We won't have AGI until we have an AI agent that feels the need to survive (i.e. tries not to "die"). It will be only then, meaning with a selfish sense of survival and the ability to better itself in its various mental models, that we'll have a chance at AGI and possibly a consciousness AGI at that.

Is that really true? I agree that there's no ethnicity known as the Vikings, and certainly not "Viking runes". People really mean certain groups of Norse people who have taken up the Viking lifestyle or profession. It's more like being a pirate. But there were Vikings. I don't think Norse travelers to Oklahoma would have been Vikings, though. More likely traders or settlers.

Right but this misses the point that you’re not removing complexity by shuffling it down a layer. Is it really an advantage to have multiple “thin browsers” if there are only two or three “browser engines” anyway due to their complexity? Further by pushing the complexity down a layer you inevitably make it slower.

Aside from which from a market perspective most small browser projects already are a thin layer on top of Chromium. So really what’s gained here?

> First do you really think people will get more injured to game GDP?

I think politicians will be incentivized to adopt systems that underfund preventative care in favour of more expensive emergency care, and this has already happened.

> Anyway the metric is capacity to fulfill peoples wants. If the population has injuries then it will be less productive and therefore have a lower GDP.

Only to the extent that those injuries affect economic productivity. Someone at the bottom will "earn" more in one medical bankruptcy than in an entire lifetime of minimum-wage work.
When the G20 looks like it will (in a decade?) have 15 countries who were not part of the original lot, naturally GDP as a metric will lose favor /s
> I cannot stare more than a few minutes at a dark background color scheme

I've struggled to find a perfect set of color themes my entire life, at least, that's what now it feels like. And at some point I realized, the smaller the palette, the fewer color variations there are, lesser the strain on the eye. Also, staring for a long time at the same - light or dark (it doesn't matter) color theme makes me feel tired.

In the end, I settled on two different [customized] themes, based on base-16 color themes. My main tool, my editor of choice is Emacs. I spent most of my time in it. I'm typing this comment in Emacs, while I have HN opened in the adjacent window (still in Emacs). I use circadian.el, which allows me to set my themes based on the time of day. They switch automatically and I love that.

Maybe try different color themes based on the light source, your mood, time of the day, place, etc.?
> > It's now down to 15 people.

> This restriction is part of a broader plan to freeze Twitter’s software code to keep employees from pushing changes to the app during the transition to new ownership. Typically this level of access is given to a group of people numbering in the hundreds, and that was initially reduced to about 15 people last week

It's unclear from the article but this could be referring to the number of people allowed to push code changes to production. (Does Twitter even have a dev/test environment?)

Of course the blue-check journalists have officially (R) interpreted and are now disseminating these facts for us, and as we know journalists are never wrong.

> the surge in hate speech

The media is pushing this angle really hard, as this feeds the perpetual outrage machine that keeps them in business, and Elon is this week's target. In reality, the head of T&S at Twitter reported that there is a coordinated bot-driven trolling campaign going on. It would not surprise me if this was a smear campaign against Musk. Fabricate some hate speech, then craft a narrative in the MSM that it was all his fault. Unfortunately for them it seems they overplayed their hand and the campaign was uncovered.

If you're interested in more details on the cost of producing chips on the latest nodes, this is a good back of the envelope sort of breakdown for the Ryzen 7950X. [1] They use a visual die yield calculator to talk through the logic of improving economics using chiplet designs.

The figures on the actual full wafer costs for TSMC 5nm are not public, but analysts say a ballpark around $17K is pretty reasonable. Using all the figures they ballpark, the manufacturing costs of the 7950X die collection, fully packaged, sounds like it averages around $70. So the cost is high as far as large scale chip manufacture goes, but this is also a part that retails for $600; there's certainly plenty of room to remain profitable
at the top.

Realistically, R&D costs are the biggest consumer of profit margins still.

Completely agree with all of this.

Adding that it's not even web technologies that can't be used. My work Mac had an issue with a Bluetooth mouse, removing and adding a Bluetooth device with the keyboard is basically impossible using tab as nothing gets highlighted to show you switched to it and some of the crucial parts don't get toggled through.

Modern GUIs are absolutely not fit for purpose.

Lossless transcoding is not a selling point IMO. It’s not relevant for new images (new devices aren’t producing jpegs), and I just don’t see people mass re-encoding their photo libraries.

Features that actually matter to normal users are what is important.

In that area progressive display seems like it would arguably be more useful, though I think it would still be dependent on what the image size is - websites now routinely require megs of JS to display anything at all, because net speeds are now fast enough that huge amounts of data are needed to get to a “noticeable” latency that would warrant display of incomplete data.
No, right now I believe it's tied to NextJS
> Because intelligence and consciousness are different things

We know they can't be the same because we somewhat know what intelligent is, or some facets of it, whereas we have no idea what consciousness is.

That bar is so high that most humans fall short, because they just regurgigate some mash up of what they've seen and heard before. Are those hapless creatures even conscious?

Paint holes are not a new problem, but keys breaking after less than a year of light usage is definitely a new issue - it got a little better with my 2019 as the 2017 model key caps got detached (I have 3 or 4 like that) after light normal use and no accidents.

I've been using MacBooks exclusively since 2009 and I have a bunch of old MacBooks - Pro and Air - and their keyboards work perfectly well still unlike the new ones! My Magic Keybaord, which is saving me now, is marvelous (it's a 2017 model though, I'm not sure about the newer ones).
It really makes no difference to most people.

I have 10 and 15 year old computers and they work just fine for me. Web browsing, spreadsheets, word processing documents.

I don't use the latest gamer stuff, or have 285-dimensional graphics that rotate in 48 dimensions or whatever.

I'd think that 95% of the computer users are just like me.

Pissed me off...my parents essentially use their computer and smart phones the same exact way - email,browse the web, and that's about it. My siblings decided they had to upgrade and got them new computers and smartphones. WTF? Total waste of maybe $5000.

The core technology is pretty much set in stone already. I wonder when software development finally reached stability like this where there is no major advancement left anymore.

can you give an example of a compliant way to be curious?

what about curious and not accepting of the new desired norm but open to understanding it more? its easy to not even know what/how to ask, that leads people to start a conversation based around a reaction to the change, the predictable pushback from looking the exact same as a bigot just radicalizes the person that said anything. so if you know a better uniform way, you can help prevent this

"decent living standards" are a moving target; the definition is always relative to what is currently possible. in mill's time, this might have amounted to having a roof to sleep under and a reliable source of calories. germ theory of disease was just starting to gain acceptance in the latter part of his lifetime. today we seriously consider providing free healthcare to all, and in some countries this is already a reality.

They use an internal interconnect, similar to how a server which took multiple distinct CPUs would use a motherboard-level interconnect.

In addition to splitting the CPU or GPU into distinct units, you can also take other functions and use different processes for them. For example, in package I/O or L2 cache don't really see the same advantages for newer processes, so you can make these using more established (and cheaper/more available) processes.
Or if you just start with an empty cache, or if you come back from vacation and pull several weeks worth of changes… certainly a real use case
For Microsoft stuff in that time period, the scripting was meant to be done via OLE Automation (VBA is really just a scripting language with OLE Automation as the underlying object model). And it was much more pervasive than Office - remember the time when Microsoft products were all "Active ..."? Third-party apps were encouraged to do that as well, although few did.

It’s overstating the point that Viking was more of a job description and the people doing that job while primarily Scandinavian peoples tended to include people from other places too. It’s generally a bit vague but so is just about every other division of people into groups.

At the time there weren’t so many clear large groups of people with a common identity in that general area in europe. You were pretty likely to be attached to a town that would be led by a king and going to war with the next town over would be a common occurrence.

It might, if we didn't split votes by district, then by county, then by state, and bundle them.

It might if our representation weren't purposefully skewed to favor states with let populations.

It might if there were runoff voting.

It might if there weren't an electoral college, circumventing all that already miserable voting procedure.

It might if voting we're a national holiday.

It might if we had a choice that wasn't "this pile of shit over here" versus "that mass of excrementt over there". Really, they're different!

It might if, after the elections were over, there wasn't a whole industry, made up of politician's former colleagues, making truckloads of money to peddle influence on behalf of big business and billionaires.

To believe that our democratic process does anything to connect the political zeitgeist of the people to actual policy is to believe in the tooth fairy.

I would say it really depends on the context!

Some reasons systemd is bad:

- Its a "big" for small docker containers (which is part of why a lot of people like Alpine Linux).

- It produces binary logs, which might not work with your workflow and is a kind of vendor lock-in if you don't script a binary-to-text script.

- the binaries are all a lot bigger in terms if SLOC and in terms of storage space than the solutions they replace. This makes auditing the code more of a chore and is a big argument against it in certain security environments.

- (my main gripe) systemd produces vendor lock-in from seemingly unrelated apps. A lot of packages which indirectly depend on a systemd functionality need to be patched to work on OpenRC Gentoo, for example.

Some arguments for systemd:

- systemd abstracts process management. This can be fantastic for scripting and security (again, context dependent)

- systemd by default kills services on log out (which is great for desktop - but can be an obstacle for servers). This is a good default behavior from a security perspective.

- systemd has some parallelization of init, making start up more predictable (because something falling over is less likely to nuke the whole procedure - again good for desktop)

- systemd provides a lot of tooling to stop you doing things the "wrong" way. For example, systemd-analyze-security provides configuration tips to harden your system

==========

In general, I would say that systemd is a very impressive tool and helped a lot of distributions standardise how they handle boot. I wish it did not impact downstream development the way it does though.
