Aye. The business folks picked it up because there is so much value in figuring out good-enough automation. I reckon you've probably seen your share of that per your bio (Kessel Run especially).

I'm always frustrated when this article appears. There are a lot of things wrong with PGP but the reason it sticks around isn't some weird tech-lovelorn for it, it's because it works.

Some minor retorts:

1. PGP isn't that difficult to setup, especially since the web of trust model is deprecated. Just download a manager, generate a key, and you're good to go. Tools like Mailvelope make it even easier.

2. PGP isn't just for sending messages via email. Any way you can send long text, you can send a pgp message. I can mail you a usb stick and that data is as decryptable as an email. The article mentions the other uses of PGP but is hung up on PGP being used for email.

3. If you are being pursued by a major threat actor, signal ain't gonna save you. It is as covetable traffic as a PGP message is. If it's a big enough deal, signal can and will crack to a warrant. It's happened to Tutanota, it's happened to Proton Mail, it'll happen to Signal too. It's not the silver bullet people seem to think it is. I prefer a decentralized solution to a centralized one, any day of the week.

That being said, I'm still excited to see tools like minisign get adopted into wider toolchains, like git.
Effectively Preparing for the OpenSSL 3.x Vulnerability
I haven’t heard of femtocells and now wondering why we don’t use these instead of WiFi? In my experience LTE connections are much more reliable than WiFi - rarely having mobile data issues but WiFi won’t work in the next room.

Are femtocells just as crappy as WiFi?
Oracle doesn't care about small companies, the main target is those large-scale companies, so it will be easy to determine whether the Oracle database is used. In addition, companies that want to list on Nasdaq must also purchase a license.

> Could we please add “within the limits of law”?

But which jurisdiction applies to the AGI? And how should it interpret the written law + precedent?

Maybe to make things simpler we could give broad directives that might accomplish your goal.
I can think of three: (1) the AGI may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, (2) the AGI must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Directive, (3) the AGI must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Directive.
I think the thing missing from most AI discussions isn't how smart it is or how well it can do tasks, but that it doesn't have a "why". A motivation. Sure we can build computers that can solve problems, but why should they? We're not currently recreating "Intelligence" we're recreating skills. But then giving a machines a motivation is to run afoul of the Butlerian doctrine...

You'd typically do this with a cost function.

The best way to do this is to use that cost function to optimize your parameters.

> Of course, could do this without race data just by proofreading.

I thought I've adequately demonstrated why this is much easier said than done.

> Beyond that, if there's a divergence between races, it is what it is.

Except it isn't. It depends if the divergence is because you've trained a model on poisoned data (i.e. the historical racism gives momentum to your model). These things are rather tricky.

It really feels like we're going in circles here and I'm trying to get you to understand why we do what we do, but you're avoiding getting specific to support your assumptions. I work with data all day every day. I'm sure you've done some data analysis too, but to do high quality work you have to consider a lot of factors. It's okay to not have this domain expertise. You're a general software engineer and probably far better than I am at that. But it is a bit naive to argue with domain experts about something that isn't in your domain. It would be naive for me to argue with you about your expertise. That's okay though. Our world is highly specialized. No one can know everything. But that's why I wrote so much before, because this is a toxic pattern in our culture that we need to curb.

Yes, you will.

What else does this mean:

> The scope of this is intended to cover incidents where users harass other users or make bigoted, racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc, comments on our platform.

You say "harass other users OR make bigoted...etc, comments on our platform."

The fact that you said "or" means that you intend to kick users off who make comments that you judge to be that, even if it's not harassment. Doing so is admitting that you will ban people purely for political differences on those topics.
"Works at most once per car" still isn't necessarily stupid if it's the last lap.

> Does that mean that you would consider mocking Jewish beliefs and calling them lies to be tolerant because it isn't calling for action against Jewish people? If not, how is it different from mocking Levine's identity?

No, I would not call any kind of speaking being tolerant, because that's not what tolerance means. You seem to be struggling badly with this simple concept, or at least pretending to be. It could be intolerant, if you were calling for some action against a person, but it doesn't make sense to call it tolerant just because it's not intolerant.

Tolerance does not mean anybody's ideas or opinions or beliefs are sacred and protected from disagreement or mockery. It's almost implied in the word really, I don't see why this is such a struggle - tolerance [for opinions I don't agree with].

Should Christians or Muslims or Atheists have protection from criticism or mockery? No, so I'm definitely about equality when it comes to Jews. How about you?

> True, but that is the paradox of tolerance.

Tolerance is not a magical silver bullet that has no problems.

> No one cares what your personal definition is if you keep it to yourself. Those people will only get met with intolerance when they voice their own intolerance.

That's still not what intolerance means, but sure censoring or banning or threatening people who voice opinions you disagree with is an alternative to tolerance, which you seemed to be talking about in the original comment I replied to. It goes both ways, right?
If a company offers a very low lower bound like $10k, job seekers won’t apply there and will go to competitors with a more reasonable lower bound.

Similarly, when a highly qualified applicant gets an offer way below the upper bound they’ll be upset and ask “why don’t I get paid near the top of your band?”

Unless all employers work together to make the bands useless, it’ll at least give some visibility into what employers are worth targeting as an applicant.

My employer has Colorado jobs and gives some wide ranges (ex: 130-300k) and more narrow ranges (ex: 200-240k). The wide ones probably cover 3-4 levels and the narrow ones are for a specific level. They’re all missing RSUs or bonuses, but they should give you a rough idea if it’s worth applying or starting a discussion with a recruiter/hiring manager.
For some of these examples, I suspect that the short term transitional solution will be to simply reshape our spaces to make them co-accessible to humans and robots. For example, a robot could much more easily stock shelves in a fully automated grocery if items came in more standard package sizes (think standard like shipping containers or paper sizes), where guaranteed to have readable barcodes, and were part of a fully automated loading dock to shelf system-of-systems with all standardized pieces.

Could probably handle automated inventory management, expiration dates, recalls, etc as well.

In fact, with enough standardization it would probably be conceivable to go directly from factory to store shelf without a human in the loop.

With enough automation the stores could be made more JIT and take up less space. Keep more things in a warehouse section, have smaller shelves, and restock rapidly throughout the day.

There are really two problems though:

1. we're working too hard to try to get these things to work in a human designed or adapted world. This kind of store would probably be pretty boring for humans to interact with (think less interesting than a Costco)

2. all this automation is way more expensive than a handful of low paid humans across 2 or 3 shifts. Anecdote: I remember when I was younger some highly automated test sites for fast food franchises. They'd completely automated the drink pouring, or cooking and assembly of some menu items. They all disappeared very quickly and were never repeated. The TCO, including downtime loss of business, was crushing to the businesses...think your average McDonald's soft serve machine but the entire business depends on it working perfectly all day, every day of the week.

But if this is solved, or acceptable, a good test target product set would likely be cereal, soda, or canned goods. It makes up the bulk of the store interior. Could probably be extended to the bakery pretty quick. This would leave harder to handle products like meats, produce, and so on to human hands for a while, but those could probably eventually be overcome with enough millions in R&D or behavior changes in the public.
Hope he got max benefit from that because this definitely will be against the rules very soon. :)

How do they combine the two seperate chips into one? Is there a performance/size cost? Could we have 1,000 chiplets per CPU and acheive >99% yield?
Can you please give a link to original source?
It is. The NYT Real Estate section is a pretty sickening read for most of the 99% who aren't totally disconnected from reality and don't have a million plus in cash to toss away on a second home.

Every time I've read that section, it felt like product placement for luxury home realtors and commercial property owners.
Hum, I'd still assign breaking down the problem space to intelligence. This doesn't require self-awareness. Self-awareness (as we know it) is closely linked to establishing an internal narration and is very much retroactive in nature. Its main property is the introduction of bias. I'm not sure, if this is what we're after for any kind of practical application. (However, it apparently serves well as a high-hanging fruit on the goal post.)
In what sense would this change anything to the job market or your retirement plans? Hasn't the web always gone through changes, were people had to adjust?

Software development has always been (in my opinion) an ever changing environment, where you had to adjust your skill set in order to keep up. Sure some technologies change faster than others, and it's not always the right choices being made, and maybe people jump on these new technologies rather quickly, but people innovating, and learning from failures should be a good thing.
If Instagram had better text post support, I think everyone would just go there. They basically are already. Bands and companies promote them selves there already more frequently. Stories let people already share their stupid political hot tales. Honestly not sure what Twitter has over Instagram.

Instagram starting from scratch for small text posts would allow them to fix a lot of mistakes Twitter made

Maybe reddit, but seeing how their new ui is going I doubt they have the right people to make decisions there

Also, Twitter was is already dieing naturally. I don't think people actually want more Twitter

> But I’ve been thinking. About my thinking. I think in words.

The idea that words and thinking are essentially the same (linguistic determinism) was discarded decades ago. Virtually all linguists today agree that while language influences thought, thought operates far beyond the constraints of language, so a "language model" cannot realistically hope to reproduce the entire gamut of human thinking.
You have just discovered Brainf*ck, where every control flow is implemented via while. `if (current cell) { ... } else { ... }` for example would have to be implemented like `temp = 1; while (current) { ...; temp = 0; current = 0; } while (temp) { ...; temp = 0; current = 0; }` (there are many other approaches [1]).

I have a friend with millions of followers on social media. She gets all kinds of disgusting private messages all the time. The worst trolls aren’t publicly commenting (or at least aren’t solely publicly commenting), they message you directly as long as you leave an avenue open.
Snapchat seems like it's dying. A lot of people I know around my age (I'm in high school) either deleted it or only have it to keep up their streaks. However, it seems like younger kids (elementary maybe and middle) are still using it so maybe their demographics are just shifting younger?

I never understood this argument. You are optimizing for a few seconds per day of saved waiting time. You buy that by having to deal with obscure differences between browsers, excluding some users, potential performance problems through lack of tree shaking, missing type safety, etc. Sure it's a trade off but for any non trivial project I've worked on it heavily skewed towards using something like webpack and babel. If you mix in things like web workers, webaudio or wasm, it gets almost impossible to use without a bundler, because otherwise library developers that use {wasm,audio workers,web workers} as an implementation detail of their libraries would leak that implementation detail out all the way to deployments (because these have to be in separate files if they aren't bundled in). Insanity.
> Covid tests are paid for by government, but testing for all the other viruses costs hundreds of dollars? What a farce.

None of the other viruses have caused a pandemic, and changed the course of human history (except influenza, but that was almost a century ago).

Have people literally forgotten that entire countries' health systems were overwhelmed by this virus? Seems like it would be prudent to keep infected individuals out of our public school systems for a few more years.

> It appears to me that the entire field of AI research is utterly confused about this elementary distinction.

That is because consciousness isn't a scientific concept but a philosophical, and sometimes religious one.

>What we're really looking for is a machine that, like a human, decides on its own which problems to solve, and solves them without needing to be specifically directed to do so.

We already have AI based agents that do this but no matter how sophisticated they are people can always claim they are hardwired and deterministic, while not realizing we can always claim the same thing about humans. Again these are distinctions of philosophy word games and therefore don't find get much traction in the research world.
FB already has tweets: posts, reshares, likes, and embedded images.
this is such a cool idea. i can see a great application of something like this down the track being a search engine which you can type a health related question for example, and have an AI read multiple papers, check if the sample section is big enough to care about, so on and so forth...and give you some sort of non-SEO garbage response that gives you some avenues to look into. Very very cool :)
Awesome. What do you plan on writing about? I'm curious about the use cases people have, because they're often surprisingly (and pleasantly) different from mine. I mainly use it to think through things or share experiences, but I've seen people use it as an anonymous public journal, as a photography blog, or even as a public notebook for their poetry.

I wasn't talking about Einstein-Rosen bridges. In fact I was wary of using that analogy because I suspected, correctly, that it would be misunderstood.

It sounds like you are saying that any possible reality could only interact with another one using Einstein-Rosen bridges. This is far too narrow a limit of what is possible. If it's possible at all, regardless of likelihood, that reality could be a simulation, then anything you say about the Einstein-Rosen bridge is a property of the simulation, and not a limit on reality as a whole.
Agreed, artificial consciousness. Not just can a machine paint an image that sells for $100K but it can ask the question why should it. The issue with decisions on that level is they are not based on binary input lines, they are based more on feeling.
Deficit spending, as other posters have pointed out is perhaps one of the biggest policy decision all governments take every year. Its always presented as a percentage of GDP to make it palatable.

Correct, AI is based on computer mechanics, a model, a model that can go south when even a single input medium provides sufficiently nonsensical input.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. Trolls are often very fixated on their targets but they also tend to be impulsive and looking for quick fixes of glory.

LastPass has this functionality. You designate a person who can request access and a timeframe and once they request it notifies you everywhere and if you don’t respond in the timeframe it grants them access.
Gotcha. A couple rejoinders. First: I think it's important to be able to name a problem, even if it's too hard to propose a solution right away, without people yelling at you to propose a solution or STFU. That just becomes, again, a cheap way to avoid acknowledging hard problems.

Second: that's still a much more reasonable objection than "just fork the community", which usually has costs ranging from obnoxious to crippling. The mere attempt could destroy lots of value for no benefit, and even if it succeeds things are likely to suck for a while for everyone involved. This is not an appropriate option to push just because there's an alleged process problem. Not even if the complainer genuinely should have proposed a solution, offered to do the work, or whatever.
I completely agree that it doesn't make sense, but that's how it is. Anyone who's ever hired a top performer will feel like they're getting the biggest bargain ever. I guess that psychology artificially limits the top of the range for salaries.
