Hi all, I'm the person who wrote this. Thanks for this unexpected trip down memory lane, which is also an insight into how things have changed. Remember I wrote this more than 20 years ago when scripted service of any kind was new in the UK, and we really didn't interact with websites much or chatbots at all. Mission statements and suchlike were also fairly new, especially in public institutions.Evidently familiarity has made us more accepting of some things but even less so of others, as you'd expect. Anyway,it was fun reading the comments,so thanks and have a nice day

Clearly, a New World country borne of immigration is different than an Old World country in this regard.

Besides, Australia doing well is hardly an example of anything other than how blessed they are in a number of ways[0].

It's enabled on GNOME 42 on Manjaro. Older releases such as Ubuntu may not have it, though 22.04 does include this feature.
Tailscale (it's amazing for management when you're away, and avoids some of the pitfalls of exposing port 22 to the internet)

A goofy reddit bot

NAS (using SnapRAID). Mostly backing up YT videos that I like, home media, every SD card from a phone that I wanted to save but will probably never look at again, etc)

My personal website, which includes a basic hugo blog and some services I care about like Grafana (which tracks my HOA payments and the moisture levels of my plant. Sends alert when payment is due or my plant is too dry)

Home assistant (which I'm not really using, but would like to be more proactive about at some point)
Agreed. Using an assumption of 5-6% annual real total returns is more reasonable for financial planning.
The success of DF should be viewed as the result of perseverance in coding and dedication to a community. They are pretty much the OG of their niche and have spawned thousands of copies but the copies have been the ones to fail for the most part mainly due to not sticking with it and/or not building a strong community around their projects. DF survived pretty much in spite of the actual product itself which, while it has improved steadily over time, remained almost actively user-hostile with its UI. You had to really love the game and the community in order to play it regularly. The Steam release is really a crowning triumph that will hopefully ensure the legacy of the game if not a completely renewed life.
you are correct, it has not happened yet, but you willing to bet it wont in the next 6 months?

I feel like it's easy to get swept up in the hype and forget that the "meta" aspects of a voice are still meaningful

> * Video game characters will speak lines generated on-the-fly depending on in-game context, instead of lines pre-recorded by voice actors. Game makers can train LLMs to generate lines of dialogue for different characters given the state of the game, and have the characters speak those lines.

We already have incredibly cheap voice acting relative to what products cost to develop. Yet companies willingly pay much much more for people who aren't even particularly good at voice acting, just for the star appeal.

You can't copyright a voice, but celebs do have use of their voices for commercial gain protected by the right to publicity: https://www.inta.org/topics/right-of-publicity

> * Spammers and criminals will start using familiar voices to con targets ("listen, I've been kidnapped while on vacation; please send the money now"). Sooner or later, dark-web hackers are going to harvest samples from everyone's shared video and audio clips at scale.

This still relies on vulnerable people since you didn't actually kidnap them and so you don't have a believable context for it if someone digs.

In that way we already have "good enough" faking, and even if we had perfect fakes scammers wouldn't want to do that: you're much better off using poorly done fakes and having vulnerable people self-filter if they still fall for it (similar to spam emails intentionally using awful grammar and spelling

> Videofakes are going to get a lot more realistic and interesting, with faked characters speaking just like the real ones. Famous actors and public figures

Similar to the kidnapping example, you'd get less impact jumping to the level of a deepfake because you don't have a real chain of custody, you've given a concrete piece of evidence to be rebuked, etc.

I've mentioned before, we live in a world where you can register americasrealnews23914.com, make up a completely baseless article about how <insert politician> admitted COVID is a hoax meant to enable a new world order, and gain traction with no real opposition since your claim is so outlandish that only the vulnerable population you're targeting will actually pay any attention to it.

By being so much worse than perfect, you end up with a much more effective result
They were killed by what the settlers brought with them. No, it was not deliberate (#), but nevertheless, their arrival is what killed most of the natives.

(#) Obviously the settlers would have preferred to keep the natives alive since then they would not have needed to ship vast quantities of Africans across the ocean to enslave, but could have just done that with the locals.
I'm glad you got lucky at the casino. You know all those articles about how market downturns can affect your retirement plans[1] or your compensation affecting your shorter-term plans[2]? It's funny how the people with the biggest impact on the market somehow never have their retirement plans or lifestyle impacted by market downturns. They don't even have to sell their yachts.

The house always wins.

Can you provide any extra information about what is unable to be expressed? I’d like to look into what sort of constructs could be useful in this context.
I get what you're saying about "mechanically" but "cargo cult" does not work as an analogy here.
You should also keep in mind that a lot of Rust library developers release many individual crates from within the same project, inflating the crate count somewhat.
The real problem here is not seeing that nature doesn’t draw arbitrary lines in the soil. What affects Utah will make its way to California. Keystone ecosystem disruption is very bad news.
> However, they also point out you can waive your rights to use content under 1.0a if you were to agree to 1.1, e.g. to get access to 6e content.

That’s really up to everyone whose license may have been violated to determine. Personally I get zero utility from copilot (although, I only have a little code on GitHub so it isn’t a pressing issue).

Signing up for disperse litigation like this seems like a pretty ballsy move by GitHub, but hey, Microsoft presumably has in-house lawyers with lots of spare time.
correct. The law is on the farmers side, water rights that were negotiated over 100 years ago can't just be canceled because of a current need - only way out is likely to use taxpayer money to buy back those rights from farmers that are willing to sell, but my guess is it won't be cheap.
> Apologies for the delay in a reply.

Not at all. I'm in no rush.

> Secondly, what I think actually happens is that most companies using microservices aren't this disciplined and just end up bodging or implicitly coupling services.

If an organization is sufficiently large you may have no way to get another team on the line to even try. At that scale the other teams may as well work for other companies and that is what microservices models. If your organization is small, I tend to agree that you won't succeed. You can't beat Conway's Law.

> I find little value in providing that specification through the TDD approach or associated ceremony.

But, ultimately, what's the difference between writing your spec in an executable way or writing it in a Word document beyond the superficial differences in the languages? What is communicated to other developers ends up being the same.

> I prefer as few tests as possible at as high a level as possible with as few mocks as possible. I'll take a single test that takes 15 seconds to run over 1000 tests running in milliseconds.

Seemingly not all that common, interestingly, but Go comes to mind as a language that provides constructs to define separation between specification (TDD) and developer tests. Conceivably you could exclude your TDD specs from execution, only running the tests that help in your development process.

The value of TDD isn't in the execution, but in what is communicated to other developers. That the specs are executable is merely a nice side benefit to help with confirming that the implementation conforms to the spec. You still get 90% of the benefit of TDD even if you never run the executable, albeit granted at that point it is just a fancy Word document.

> I think there's a lot of healthy debate to be had about how much testing is needed.

Perhaps, but TDD isn't about testing. TDD is about providing documentation. I think there is less room for debate there. I'm not sure anyone who has ever inherited a codebase has wished it gave less insight into what the 'business needs' of the program are. Again, a Word document can provide the same documentation, but if you're going to write that Word document anyway why not go the extra mile and gain the additional benefits that come with execution?
I'm convinced that saying "is healthier" on the basis of a one-dimensional score, is pretty much meaningless.
Do you have money burning a hole in your pocket? I don't want to be constantly prompted to buy and consume things.

When I have a problem, I research solutions and buy a product or service if necessary. I don't care what those with the largest marketing budgets think I should buy. I also follow companies on social media that I know and trust if I think I might be interested in their future products.
Umm, I won't comment on nationalist propaganda, but average annual wages in China are less than a quarter of the US or most industrialized countries while debt/GDB was 270% in 2020 and the last few years have not been kind (US including states is <150%). Gini statistic for China is also quite high, but since they don't release enough reliable data it's hard to tell exactly.

Traditional US pension plans are all but dead except for a small number of people basically grandfathered into systems. Social security doesn't have a way to "buy up" and invest more to get it to say match ones yearly income.

So really every individual investor is on their own until they get to the point where they can sell the risk and buy an annuity (although those tend to be terrible too largely I guess because they want to make $$$$ and other reasons).

So, in the US outside of Social security, which isn't a retirement plan, there isn't any option other than to hope you don't have to retire during a downturn, or that you have to go live in a box for a few years to avoid burning all your capital when its value temporary falls for a couple years. Because there isn't any way to recover except to go work at walmart as a door greeter.

There have been a number of articles about this over the past decade or two, which boil down to, in the US you can do everything "right" but whether you can actually retire comes down to a bunch of lucky decisions and market timing. So basically its random, with some probably of "success" of landing into a bucket that actually allows you to retire even at 65 which is well into the "everyone is dying off" part of the morality curve.

Work till you die is the official plan, but then people might start reconsidering their life choices when there isn't this "you will retire happy" carrot at the end.
This!

My personal background is a "well known hedge fund" and the turnover there was rather high.

Many quit because it wasn't "a good fit".
Also interesting question from some perspective is putting a unit of currency in a market now and then in 10 years it being worth nearly double logical? Or in 40 years worth nearly 15 times?
I did SBCs for both the 6800 and the 6502 for Aph, and couldn't remember which one was this one. I'm also not totally sure whether Hockey was derived from Baseball or Football. It was 40 some years ago!

Other people who worked at Aph at the time were Shal Farley, Will McKown, David Rolfe, and Hal Finney (yes, that Hal).

I mean, not really. This is personal knowledge. You can't really look up salaries because the base is like $175k but even in mediocre years they're getting high six-figures in bonus.

Take a peek at what Wolverine, Radix, or Jump are paying new grads though. It's generally like $500k+. Even Jane Street, which is a larger place that hires people who aren't published mathematicians (see: Sam Bankman-Fried) pays $750k

The real issue is that apartment managers can come after you for the remainder of your lease. You can suddenly be in 10-20k of debt if you need to break your lease early. That's both more accessible and worse than many medical debt horror stories.
I mean it in the sense of rejecting the “constraints” of our nature and seeking to move beyond them as far as possible.
Even with a drought you could have sustainable urban and agricultural practices - the reality is there hasn't been and Utah is highly allergic to many sustainable environmental efforts.
If they had the data and found them to be significant predictors of future behavior, I'm sure they would. One must be very careful when doing this in industries like insurance and lending though, as they can be proxies for protected classes.
They do a lot of hiring out of school though, so they are selective but if you make the cut you'd definitely be earning more at the start of your career. Plus if you perform well you can make well over 500K TC by the time you would have been promoted to staff at FAANG, because of bonuses.
I don't love them by themselves as much as you but definitely get lots of value from ads in terms of finding and buying cool things. Interestingly the internet has only learned to properly advertise to me as an individual. I have way more purchasing power from buying decisions I make in behalf of my company and in terms of corporate advertising for B2B SaaS products google and friends are leaving a lot of money on the table. Most ads I see for B2B things are for tools my company already uses.
Why are you upset about web pages asking if they can track you, and not upset about the fact that web sites WANT to track you?

I mean, ostensibly, it really is the latter that upsets you, but then I question why you're blaming Europe.
Bogus. You’re assuming they invested all their dollars at the year 0 (peak) price an and sold everything at the 20 year trough. Of course that’s impossible, they invested over their entire careers which included intervals of much lower prices. So much should be obvious by just looking at the sp500 graph of performance over time. There’s no period where dollar cost averaging over twenty years gave a result like you’re saying.
It’s not a big deal. I have a flush plug, braided cable extension that neatly runs from near the outlet under the sink and out of the way.

It’s not perfect, but for >$20 it’s a quick fix that didn’t require an electrician. Heated water is 100000% worth it!

The person above stated "Why do Reddit moderators do their work? They are paid in power." They appear to be talking about moderators in general, not just power mods. The root comment here also appears to be talking about mods in general (with little idea what they're talking about, AFAICT).
I read the interview expecting exactly what you describe. Instead I found a nuanced and illuminating discussion —- at least for a non-expert such as myself. Marcus references the symbolic vs connectionist debate and (at least by his own description) seems to be what you call a “bridger” of long standing.

His objections seem concrete and well supported — not just repeating “but does it really understand” over and over. (Admittedly there is some of this.)

Edit - Thank you for the links.

One bad bit can stop the show; all else follows from that, pretty much.

Even if there is redundancy in hardware to catch a bad bit, software contains a lot of inter-connected logic in which there is no mitigation for an unexpected, incorrect value.

There are chains of dependencies such that the correct behavior is a giant conjunction of prpositions: if this works, and this is correct, and this configuration is right, and, and .... then we get stable behavior with good results. Conjunctions are fragile; one incorrect proposition and the conjunction is false.
Eh, I wouldn't use the model T as a good example. A hand crank that could kill you, and the acceleration and gear system were a gigantic mess compared to the cars that showed up a decade or two later.

There are plenty of later model cars that add back seemingly unneeded complexity for little gain that would be better examples.
I'd love to grok why powers of two are used in RAM and disks. Any references that explain this?
Non-coding sequences have been understood as having some functions at least since the early 1990s. Because genome expression is dynamic, tracking the exact mechanisms of action of these sequences is challenging.
Yes if you have espresso grind it's way too fine, Moka does have some pressure but it's around 1.5 bars. Moka pots are usually used with drip / pourover grinds. Maybe a pair of stops below, but not espresso-fine.

With an espresso grind, the moka pot will struggle to push water through and you'll have a very bitter coffee because it'll be way over-extracted. Is that what you experience?
Sbf was playing LoL at the same time
I agree that that's the only long-term vible solution. Some states like California are trying to work around buying the rights by simply making it illegal for some people to exercise their water rights but not others. I don't think this will work out in the long run and they will eventually be forced to come to the table with cash offers by the courts
I also wanted to mention that I allow Google to have as much of my activity history as they want, and I don't find their ads to be any more relevant.
I just can say....super happy for them they really earned it!!

Polished and free for so many years....excellent!
Even without that, you're still easily $2k in the hole and that all on its own is scary - the long-term repercussions of "evil by bureaucracy" are, of course, even worse; but the very beginning is plenty terrible, enough that there doesn't need to be a "real issue" here for it to be bad.
Being trustworthy seems like an important trait in the older agrarian societies that depended on long-term planning and exchange, whether you were a farmer or an administrator.

I'm doubling down because you haven't offered an explanation of what your counterfactual is. As best as I can guess, are implying that were something to be different, the outcomes will be different, whether that is that people who bust their ass will become truly wealthy (which again, you have not defined) or perhaps that people who don't bust their ass will also be better off.

I want to know what that something is, in what way it should be different, and why you think that difference will lead to the difference in outcomes you anticipate.

While not exactly a disc, my favorite flying toy was the X-Zylo. Limiting the discussion to flying discs is like saying you can't talk about snowboarding when discussing skiing. We used to break open glow sticks and pour the juice to the inside of the ring so you could see this thing fly in the dark. It was much more visible if you were watching from the "sidelines" vs improved visibility when it was coming at you.

> I think the mods must have a button for squashing a post without actually deleting it

No, Reddit does not provide such a feature. And setting up an outside bot farm to hide posts makes no sense for mods who can already just delete a post outright.
You're still not getting it. I explicitly said we invested in the total stock market, not specific stocks. That's not a casino, much as you think it to be. There are also ways to ameliorate market downturns for retirement, it's not an unsolved problem. See guides over at /r/personalfinance or /r/financialindependence if you want examples of how.

Again, if you're not investing, that's your problem, but don't blame it on the stock market itself. Thinking it's just another casino where you have to get "lucky" will cost you a lot of money in the future.

Edit: I just took a look at your links, they literally contradict the retirement doom and gloom you're referring to. From [1]:

> Historically Speaking, You Shouldn't Panic When the Market Crashes

> Nevertheless, history says that most well-diversified portfolios can and do recover over time.

> What Retirement Savers Can Do

> Even though the situation may seem dire given the long time horizon to recovery, there are multiple ways to guard against asset depletion. For example, investors can avoid selling off assets in a down market by holding one to two years' worth of planned withdrawals in cash. Worldwide, high-net-worth individuals often keep 21-28% of their assets in cash or cash equivalents, with the percentage leaning towards the higher end of the range during times of market crisis. This also opens an opportunity for better buys when the market eventually improves.

> Being flexible with withdrawal rates is also key to mitigating sequence risk. Morningstar analysts recommend: withdrawing a fixed percentage of your portfolio's value every year, not adjusting your withdrawal rate for inflation (i.e. not increasing your withdrawal percentage when inflation is high) or using a so-called guardrail approach where you reduce your withdrawal rate if it surpasses a set threshold.

Maybe it removes more moisture thus the cooked food is dryer with less mass.

Haven't noticed that myself. Then again I mostly only cook pre-fried or that kind of stuff in my air fryer.
I don't know that is true. I have always presumed the air circulation in the air fryer is far higher than that in my convection oven, since when they are both preheated, the cooking times are certainly much lower in the air fryer. Not only that, but some ovens have a specific air fryer mode now, indicating it is not just a typical convection oven. Should every oven maker add an air fryer mode to their convection oven, as some have started doing? Of course!
