It doesn’t assume either of those things. In fact it accounts for exactly those points under the heading “incentives.”

We are engaging in clearly self-destructive behavior because, incentive structure accounted for (your points), it very well appears to be the best option. It wouldn’t be a hard problem if it didn’t.

It should be obvious that it’s entirely possible to follow your (real) incentives all the way into a very bad outcome.
I have grown impatient with writing which purports to educate or inform people who do not understand a topic yet is completely incomprehensible unless one understands the topic.

Practice some "Feynman technique" on your subject, or resign yourself to producing a suggested reading list of works that actually explain the topic, or please for the love of cognition stop masking signal with your noise.

I suspect using a mobile phone while driving is an offence often broken by drivers. I wonder how many years it will take for driver behaviour to catch-up with more recent driving laws on mobile phone use?
I am fascinated by LoRa, but I understand it is primarily for low bandwidth applications that are optimized for high range, low power consumption. I'd imagine LoRA would be a good alternative to SMS but would it ever be an alternative for voice or higher bandwidth applications while still maintaining long range and low power?
'Possessions and wealth taken' and 'fund the equalizing up-lifting of others' co-occur, but that doesn't mean the latter is justifying the former. People who play the markets know they're taking a risk and willing to gamble on being smarter than their competition, they're consenting to have their money go to someone with better judgement than them and that's what justifies having their wealth taken. The winners of a game like that are exactly who I'd want funding the 'up-lifting' part. That doesn't mean it's kosher for the smartest person to expropriate every above-average person's money when they aren't willing to gamble with it.
> Since citizens have a right to some power, our government cannot get too tyrannical because there would be consequences.

This is such a hilarious idea. Any amount of citizens that unite together armed to inhibit the government's "tyrannical behavior" (read: against white people, the government has already been tyrannical for many decades to an absurd degree without retribution) will find out three facts:

1. We spend almost $2T a year on defense so much so that a small fraction of that defense given to a minor nation was able to completely and totally repel a world power.
2. We spend almost $220B a year on police, a portion of which is spent on cheap outdated parts manufactured with the above money.
3. Every adult american buying an AR-15 comes out to $400B.

Each of these forces is designed with the sole goal of protecting capital and private property.

Ask HN: How relevant is cross-browser testing anymore?
Given that most of the new companies adopt modern frameworks like React, Angular, Vue which are quite stable across browsers unlike jQuery, Backbone days when the same code worked in Chrome but not Firefox for various reasons.

Just wanted to pick your brains on what do you think how relevant is cross-browser testing. Do we really need to test our code on 50ish Chrome versions, 25is Firefox versions and so on.

I wouldn’t say AI hype has cooled down; things like Stable Diffusion, Dall-E, large language models, etc. have captured people’s imagination about AI. If anything, it seems like a lot of the crypto hype has been usurped by AI as the market slumped (and as GPUs became affordable again)

I agree that Kubernetes isn’t as hip as it used to be, but that’s mainly because it’s already ubiquitous in enterprise. It lived up to its goal, it doesn’t need the hype.

LoRaWAN standard specifies regional parameters, that is - specific ISM spectrum bands for every region where LoRaWAN is used.
All of the regional parameters are supported by The Things Network and The Things Stack, you would only need to get hardware that has the radio of the frequency you need.

Sure, that’s true. And intelligence very clearly seems to matter. Not many 80 IQ folks are pushing the frontiers of understanding.

The best known, achieved result around this particular star (out of ~100,000,000,000,000 of them) after hundreds of millions of years with, ostensibly, hundreds of millions of years yet to come.

There’s a difference between being the current known hyper local maximum and being at the universal limit. Talk about weaseling! :D

I didn’t listen to this, but the essay is full of straw men and contrived arguments about how utilitarianism is a bad moral philosophy. While utilitarianism is not perfect, this essay just regurgitates others’ criticisms of it and provides no useful alternative. As an aside that bothered me (but not related to the content directly), the tone of the article also wants to be scholarly so badly, which made it really long-winded and hard to read.

>> Indeed, this very essay, which I’d long planned to write some version of, is coming out now because the same effective altruist organization is offering a $20,000 prize to whomever gives the best critique of effective altruism this month.

I think this sentence tells you everything you need to know about this guy’s philosophy. The article also ends with him suggesting, as an “alternative”, to give a money to fundamentally utilitarian/effectively altruistic sources (AI safety research) and to fund projects that he’s interested in under the premise that these underfunded scientific fields are “awesome and epic”.
Clever but easy to work around now that everyone knows the trick.
No. Binance is a huge exchange and is tied to Tether, which is an open scam. Bitfinex is a comparatively small player.
Raising awareness on such topic and providing visibility to devs is a good thing. Unfortunately, numbers may be off by multiple orders of magnitude. It's really hard to get any meaningful CO2 number for a single API call. I'd suspect API burn much more CO2/byte than streaming.

Streaming is dumb, cacheable near end-users and heavy in bandwidth. API uses little bandwidth but often requires calls to multiple remote backend systems heavy in CPU, including subrequests to databases and other stuff. When you mix all usage and get an average KPI, it's no longer representative.
Now that this is known they'll need an approach that can survive retyping, like word choice and order. That can be defeated by rephrasing but requires even more work, and is somewhat identifying of the rephraser.

If you find a corporate document with a lot of weird sounding word choices and ordering ... it's probably just written by someone not great with the language.
Is there a problem with venv? I am seriously curious. I use venv for 10 years and so far it was able to do everything I ever wanted.
Ok. But I still don't get it. I wrote, "The paper in fact is not the song. It becomes a song when it is sang. When it is given voice. In fact it is hard to say what the song is. You can play it with different instruments. You can play it in its recorded form on various media. All these will sound different. I was thinking "reality" is like this too. So I don't think the sign can make the airport."

How is this related to a meme?

In 2022, there are not many international matters that can be agreed upon by US, EU and China at the same time. Getting rid of this stupid leap second disaster is one of those rare ones. US, EU and China all agreed that leap second should be eliminated. It is a disaster.

The whole leap second disaster is just beyond imagination - inserting a full second into the system during business hours in Asia when some of the world's largest exchanges are in trading session! When there are hundreds of millions time sensitive devices manufactured by tens of thousands different vendors at vastly different skill levels!

When compared with this leap second invention, Y2K problem is so harmless.

Even if they wrote down something about forbidding military usage, there would be no way to actually enforce that if the country doesn't care about license, EULA, etc.

I found using rxjs with redux to be a way of decoupling control flow. Instead of having a function with a bunch of thunks, you did something and then other bits of code to could effectively subscribe to the side effects of that and you built your control flow up that way. It had pros and cons, was quite powerful but you ended up with a lot of indirection and not exactly knowing what was going to happen.
Where did you get this $37 billion number? I don’t think SpaceX has had $37B of investment or revenue.

Nope, it's not meant for that. Think low-bandwidth, small transmissions with highly compact but valuable data (sensors, actuators, etc). Even with LoRa as-is, changing settings to optimize for bandwidth costs you real range.
You would need several scientific breakthroughs to make hydrogen economically viable for transportation. It's expensive to generate, it embrittles storage containers, is highly flammable, and there's no existing infrastructure that you can piggy back off of. Right now it is a dead end.

>WE CAN BUILD IT !

>Immagine to join together the world biggest yacht firms in an unique project.

>(None of the below brands are now involved yet in the project)

This text is accompanied by logos of companies which are NOT involved and probably never even heard of this project. I highly doubt they can build anything.

The 8 billion needed to build a monstrosity like that seems possible, but doing it in 8 years? I don't thinks so. There are way too many technical challenges to solve and there is no shipyard in the world which could construct it in one piece. Making it modular, would be possible, but not in this time frame.

And the design for the ship is terrible, no maritime engineer would sign that off.
Right — I actually forgot we're talking about ENS, not wallet users.

The 60M+ user base for ENS-enabled browsers is a genuinely impressive number. But at the same time it's about 1.1% of the world's total internet users. In terms of reach, it's basically like making your product a desktop Linux app — it might be the right choice for some niche, but not for any mass market.

For the actual ENS lookup, I presume Brave and Metamask actually call a service like Infura? It feels like that's a step back for decentralization compared to plain old DNS.

And number 2 and 3: don’t underestimate the power of exported American culture via the media. There’s a clear trend (in English speaking countries at least) that the culture is becoming more and more Americanised, especially among youth.

You are talking about the "mere addition paradox" [1] (aka the "repugnant conclusion" mentioned in the article). The point, as I understand it, is that whenever you maximize a metric it ceases to be a good metric, and optimizing for "people living" you reach a bunch of bad conclusions such as the one you mention where the more lives the better.

You say that you wouldn't do something like that, but the core of the question is "why?": what would be the utilitarian argument against going that way? You could argue that "happiness" should be a measure, at which point you need to contend with the problem of an "utility monster" [2]: what if it turns out that (say) Americans enjoy a dollar more than shell-shocked Ukranian refugees? Should we optimize the happiness of the Americans? How about those people with negative happiness, should we simply euthanize them?

The fault, according to the interview, is that you can't treat happiness and well-being as a matter of sums and averages. If you kill a man to open an ice-cream factory, no amount of happy children should absolve you of that crime.

Poland says missile that hit it was Ukrainian stray
Maybe you can totally rank order goals or principles of morality within the confines of a single person, but how could you hope to do that for large groups of people without forcing everyone to assume the same things as you? Long-termism being a great example, because I personally, think the amount we should care about future people decays rapidly as we move into the future. It's not as if their lives don't have value equal to our own, but how can we hope to assess how many of them there may be or what aspects of the realities of human life will change over the next century even? This is like trying to predict the future by reading tea leaves, except you have to pledge 10% of your income to whichever leaf talks about the risk of general AI the loudest.

So should everyone be forced to value all future human lives as being as concretely valuable as our own? In order to put them into a total ordering of morality one is forced to make a judgement call on how many people we think are likely to exist in the future as well as how relevant our musings of today actually capture what life will be like in that future.

Effective altruists like to use exponential growth to beat people over the head with the idea that the future is more important than the present. Do they ever acknowledge the fact that the far future is also exponentially more unpredictable than seconds into the future?

It just reeks of hubris to me. To be a really effective altruist you must first create a time travel device.

Whether you believe in the crypto aspect of it or not, the Helium network provides really good public LoRaWAN connectivity in a lot of places. Much easier than building out the whole network, including gateways and the backend. The cool part is that the LoRaWAN protocol allows you to keep your data totally encrypted to your app, and still use public networks.
> I can write code like that (and worse), and it doesn’t make any sense to me

I'm learning FP and I see value with writing code with map, reduce etc as those are expressions instead of statements. Expressions guarantee you have a result of particular type (with possible side effects if you prefer), but statements DO side effects. The loop may or may not insert some value into resulting list because some branching happened or you forgot some else condition, with map you guarantee you get same number of objects of particular type back.

Plus that enables composition (like in C# LINQ) - by not extending some loop with different kind of responsibilities but just passing result to next function that modifies/filters the result.

If we're looking for a giving threshold that has also stood the test of time in terms of practicality for a reasonable portion of the population to be able to follow it long term, then we need to look no further than the precedent of the 10% church tithe.

Giving 10% is practical for many and would make an enormous difference in the world. Seems like a good baseline.

Nick Bostrom wouldn't have missed that, he's a very precise philosopher (I'm reading his book Anthropic Bias, and damn I'm glad I didn't have to tease out that mess by myself).

This quote comes from a particular thought experiment. As I'm sure you'll grant, thought experiments don't discuss what to do if that exact hypothetical were reality, they only discuss what attitude to take towards this whole category of situations. In concrete terms yes, some humongously big number of lives are lost every second, more than 10E29 of them, if time travel is possible or creating new universes is possible, but that doesn't change the conclusion.

And you miss two things as far as I can see: achieving immortality for yourself is not the maximal good, since for one thing it would clearly be even better to achieve immortality for everyone. Second, you're equating infinities. It's hard for humans to reason about infinities, but mathematicians have in fact described that there are infinities of different orders: you can still speak of some "infinite" quantities as being greater than other "infinite" quantities. It's easier if you just drop the word in favour of "zillion" and reason intuitively about that.
