The Roof Always Caves In: Why there is nothing wrong with being doomed
It's not even necessary steay unless there is a prosecution.
I don't understand how anyone can say this when Musk has been granted preferential treatment by the government across multiple cases. He's received very lucrative contracts that fund and subsidize his company, Neuralink has received expedited treatment by the FDA for their research. This has held true across multiple administrations.

This is just not at all in touch with reality.
People making money off of your data should get your consent and compensate you. No one does, though. But Amazon is the bad guy here for some reason.
I’d heard it as ZZT paid for Jill of the Jungle which let them afford Unreal’s longer development cycle while releasing other games (like Epic Pinball.) Epic Pinball and ZZT were two of my favorite games from the 90s.
That would make for a great movie, could be titled like it's the end of the world. Maybe Apocalypse Now?
Pigs are really smart.
Not me because I have no money problem but if I did, why not?

It not much but the way I understand it, it is basically free money, you just check a box and you are tracked more, but other than that, no obligation on your part, and you don't get more ads.

Yeah, privacy, but you get tracked anyways, in fact, Amazon already has the most sensitive information about you: they know where you live, they have your credit card, and they know what kind of stuff you buy. If you trust them all that, you might as well send them the ads you see and get your $2.

And yeah, I guess they did their research. They probably don't want that many people to enroll in the program, and they are fine with the kind of profile $2 gets them. I don't think the extra data they get is worth more than $2, so I guess they want to enroll just enough people to conduct their market research, not more.

You can be skeptical, but the answer to the question “What was actually on Hunter Biden's laptop?” is not “Joe Biden (AKA "The Big Guy") was taking a cut from Hunter Biden's ridiculous business dealings with foreign entities”.
Love it.

Makes me miss Pinball Construction Set (and a host of other stuff from my C64 but I’ll stop there).
Same problem for me. Photoshop? Don't care, plenty of options. Lightroom? Nothing's really an adequate replacement, not least because most of the tools touted as replacements are a lot more concerned about the "digital darkroom" fucking-around-with-RAW-settings aspect that the asset management side of things.
That's standard. I don't exactly know why except that it's a convenient price for retail investors and it lets them re-use their old contracts. The pool of money that they collect at IPO varies a lot, though.
This argument doesn’t appeal to me. Musk is a guy that pushes the limits. Someone like that will attract the ire of the regulators.

As I understood the article, they made no assumptions abut connectedness. They basically tried all combinations of 4 galaxies out of their sample set, and counted the handedness of all those. some clever maths required to deal with the combinatorial explosion
Such terrible misinformation from speculation in the other replies. Peking is not that much closer to the Cantonese pronunciation (see the voice sample in https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%8C%97%E4%BA%AC). Nor is it Wade–Giles, which would romanize it as Pei-ching. Just look up the word's well-sourced etymology in Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Peking#Etymology): the name comes from Mandarin after Mandarin dropped final -k, -p, -t (which are preserved in Cantonese) but before Mandarin palatalized ki > ji. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_postal_romanization. The initial consonant being p- is also expected, since it is closer to the unaspirated p in most European languages than to b-; the Pinyin p- then corresponds to aspirated p.

People who start with the assumption that there's some "secret sauce" take on consciousness and intelligence the Chinese Room seriously, because it is intentionally constructed to beg that exact question. People who start with the opposite assumption reject the experiment as not meaningful.

If you look into it insurance companies are paying people to be healthier.

Even the crappiest insurance companies are offering discounted at home fitness companies, my previous insurance offered free peloton basic, my elderly mother's insurance is willing to give her up to 30 dollars a month on her AARP insurance to complete various health and doctor tasks each month.

But the best I've seen is UHC Motion on my current insurance. Up to 3 dollars a day/1095 dollars a year for connecting my Fitbit to it and reaching the step goals I'm already trying to reach.
Yeah, this is the key context: people have argued that they're essentially a way of capturing all the value of a "going public" event to a smaller audience than a traditional IPO.

Presumably the SPAC itself must go through some IPO-like process in order to get listed. If it doesn't get listed then its shares aren't liquid.

I take it that they are subject to little scrutiny since it's just "we're a company with no business but a ton of capital", and the exchange and SEC say "sounds legit to me". Then they can "take over" the target, again with little scrutiny.

Have I got that right?
They could reduce dependency by focusing on their core mission, cutting out the cruft, and using the extra money to build up an endowment that can last them forever.

Obviously, they didn’t take that option.

He's also been shut out of the Biden administrations public initiatives on electric cars. an industry Tesla single-handedly created. ostensibly due to being non-union.

Ask HN: In the future will you purchase such a service?
I'm thinking about this a lot these days, half because I do not want to lose anyone I love, but half because I'm scared of the future.

Assuming that you can upload all texts, voices and videos of someone you love (who also gives the permission in his/her will) to a website, and then it will generate a virtual person, trained with all those data, including everything else it can find online (i.e. not collected by you), will you accept that this is a suitable replacement, at least a couple of hours per day, to be your loved one?

It's more than that. AI company can also "train" the virtual person with additional data you input and eventually "grow", not only in look, but also in emotion and knowledge. Suppose someone lost a kid, he/she can even see the kid grow in face, body and mind!

Will you purchase the service?

It's pretty exciting to see such a big company pilot a data profit sharing program.

Think of what it demonstrates. It acknowledges a standard that your personal data belongs to you, that they value it, and they are willing to pay you for it. More importantly, they are willing to do it in a upfront manner instead of trying to sneak it into some new application. Hopefully more companies will take note.

The whole premise of data privacy is that your data belongs to you, to do with it what you want, including selling it.

I'm normally very privacy-minded but tempted to agree to it just on a matter of principle to help get such a market off the ground.
They won contracts to launch rockets, yes.

NASA could of also taken on those contracts and launched more rockets than they are currently are doing.

I’m not sure it’s Google’s fault at this point. Maybe it’s just that every site thinks they need to be SEO spam in order to be noticed. And so the internet has become a cesspool of stories about how this is the same recipe passed down in your family since Julius Caesar.

There have been a ton of articles about how Google sucks lately. Well, maybe Google has gotten worse, but maybe the internet has just gotten worse.

If I search for “best gaming laptop” or “taco recipe” the results are pretty much uniformly spammy across Google, Bing, and Neeva, the latter being a paid search engine. All of them are just farms for ads, popups, and paid links sandwiched between AI generated copy.

Is that the search engine’s fault? Is there some oasis of quality results I don’t know about? I would like to know.

We get a daily file from a vendor containing corporate action data, because somebody "needs" it for some report or something, and so we dutifully ingest it into our system.

But every 2 or 3 months, a specific planned SPAC merger shows up in that file. Something to do with gambling and crypto/blockchain, based in the Med. Every single time it shows up, it causes the vendor file to fail the vendor's own validation rules and so I have to go look at the log, confirm that it is this same merger, confirm that the person that cares about this file doesn't care about this record, delete it, and then let the process allow the rest of the data to flow out of the staging table.

I hope this is one of them :)

The original heavy water plant in Vemork, Norway recovered it as a byproduct of producing hydrogen from water by electrolysis [1] for the manufacture of fertilizer. Ordinary "light" hydrogen is preferentially evolved from water when it's split by electrolysis, with deuterium accumulating in the liquid left in the cell. If the plant operator periodically extracts the residual water from a cell and uses it as input to another cell in a cascade arrangement, as done at Vemork, then high-purity heavy water can be generated as a byproduct of electrolysis with little additional cost. The Vemork plant had 108 megawatts of capacity and could produce 12 tons of heavy water per year ([1], [2]).

I expect several gigawatts of electrolytic hydrogen capacity to be built this decade for supporting "green" production of steel and ammonia with renewable electricity. Plant operators could also invest a modest effort to extract and concentrate older electrolyte batches, providing a new low cost source of heavy water. Note that this is a very energy intensive way to get deuterium, but it could be low cost because the capital and operating expenses are mostly accounted for by the plant's primary purpose (hydrogen production). The marginal cost to add a side business of heavy water recovery would be much smaller.

Perhaps someone with more familiarity with this issue can explain why negotiating collectively with news orgs would mean that the benefits facebook provides in terms of increasing traffic would not play a role in those negotiations. Facebook can always threaten to walk and not strike a deal, just as the news orgs can threaten to walk. But right now there are anti-trust issues if they try to collectively bargain with Facebook, and to this naive commentator it seems like letting them bargain collectively seems like a reasonable compromise -- better than a legally mandated fee.

As far as technical / intellectual pursuits, I want to continue to brush up on old math stuff, and learn new (to me) math stuff. I'm going through Professor Leonard's Calc II video series now, which is pushing into new territory for me, as I dropped out of school the semester I was taking Calc I.

And not a "skill", but something I want to do in 2023 is to continue to lose weight and get more fit, mostly by continuing to do a lot of bike riding and start mixing in some trail running. And eating more plant-based foods and less highly processed foods.

No, your hypothetical doesn't apply.

I mentioned that they IPO in the second paragraph.

And yep, that's about right. Detractors claim it avoids filing regulations and that is bad while proponents say that it justifiably avoids direct listing which can be prohibitively time-consuming / expensive.
Whenever it starts it response with "as X, I can't do Y", this is your hint that it was specifically told that its initial (hidden) prompt was "you're X; X can't do Y". If you override that in your prompt by telling it that it's P which can do Q, you can get more meaningful answers.
It's such a dumb take. The US is already funneling billions into Ukraine, why would they need a convoluted way to secretly send a few hundred million more?
Humans have generally used consciousness, the level of intelligence and companionship to gauge how much of sympathy an organism gets from humanity. This is used to determine which abortion is okay, why it is not okay to kill and eat dogs while other animals are, and why humans are considered above other organisms. If we are to be consistent here, would not it follow that experiment on monkeys deserve more scrutiny over the experiments on monkeys who are demonstrably more closer to us while also having higher level of intelligence than pigs?
