My guess is that we would be more of a gig economy, working when we need to and doing jobs that are individual and timely that benefit from the human touch.

If I were emperor of the earth and could dictate what work would be like in the year 2140, dumb AI (that is still a few orders of magnitude smarter than our current best AI) would handle all of the rote tasks, assembling devices, farming, mining, things like that, smarter AI would handle corporate paperwork and accounting, managing cleanup and repair of any remaining ecological harm we have caused in the last 400 years or so, mining asteroids for valuable materials, etc., and in the mix of this humans would use AI systems to design and develop new products, take on new endeavors, provide medical care and create social events to fill in the massive time gap left by the actualization of our prosperity.

A typical work week would be roughly 20 hours, comprised of either 5 4 hour shifts or 2-3 8-10 hour shifts depending on the industry and the need. Your basic needs, food, clothing, education, and shelter would be given to you for no cost as long as you participate in the system, and the rewards for working would be being granted access to higher echelon products and services, and you could voluntarily retire after roughly 20 years of employment or less if your career is particularly difficult or straining on the body.

Your echelons would be split into at least 4 tiers, base tier, bronze, silver, gold. You can work up tiers by either working more, or by merit should you provide or create something that is immensely useful or wonderful, such as art, or a movie, or an invention that gets used around the world.

Even then, there will be plenty of work to do and the salary you receive for your work would be equal to the skill and talent that you possess and what merits your contributions to the cause bring, and this would be negotiated for you as fairly and equally as possible by systems whose job it is to make sure that everyone gets a fair share.

Sure, this is all my imagination and would require a dramatic shift to some sort of AI enforced utopian communism, and it also relies entirely on people being willing to participate in such a system, but once again, if I were emperor of the earth that is what I would aim for.

So yeah, there would still be salaries because I expect remuneration in exchange for my work for others, and I assume most other people do, too.
Thinking on this on my drive, I recalled another puzzle you might like with another error corrected solution.

The puzzle is related to the game 20 questions. If you can ask only 20 yes/no questions, you can differentiate 2^20 items. For example, with 20 yes/no questions, you can determine an integer in 1 to 1,000,000 (technically, up to 2^20).

Now consider you need to figure out what integer between 1 and 1,000,000 I am think of, but I am allowed to lie at most once. Now how many questions will you need to ensure you get the answer?

Doing this by hand and creating more and more convoluted tricks is possible, but in reality this is another error correction problem: The original problem is a binary message of length 20 bits, from which you get the 20 bit message.

With at most one lie, there is a 20 bit message, me (the noisy channel) can add at most one error, so you need the minimal length binary code that takes a message of length 20 and a max error of 1 bit.

To find the number needed, use a coding table like http://www.codetables.de/.

So you need to find how many more bits you need. To fix d bits, you need 2d+1 'distance' in your code to make sure d errors do not move one valid point within Hamming distance d of another answer, so we need d = 3.

So you need a binary code, d = 3, and encoding a message of length k=20. Click on Linear Codes, then the GF2 button, and you see the big table of best codes. Find the column with k = 20 (our message length), scroll down over increasing n (number of questions needed), until the first d=3 entry. There n = 25, so 25 questions will do it. This is the result http://www.codetables.de/BKLC/BKLC.php?q=2&n=25&k=20

This is provably best, otherwise the table would have a range if there were not proof (look around the table, notice some are ranges).

To design the questions, most places with tables have code constructions. So click the entry, and they describe the construction (unfortunately in error correction code terms), but that can be reversed into English and actual questions to get your answer.

This technique would let you answer any problem along the line of "How many questions, each with b options, would it take to determine between N items, if there are at most d lies told?"
Listening to albums start to finish is a good way to listen to music. It can be more satisfying "as a whole" but certainly will include some bumps and "pain". Unfortunately could not get behind the paywall to read the article to see Author's take on what this all means
I believe the result might be similar to when one does oversampling to avoid class imbalances. When doing oversampling it happens that exact duplicates are trained. This is equivalent to increasing the weight for these examples. This might fix the class imbalance but at the cost of increasing the bias of the model. This means the model might overfit to the duplicates shown in the training set.

In the case of LLM trained on mostly LLM generated data you will see a similar increase in bias of the model and a overfitting to LLM generated data. This might lead to limitations of the performance of LLM in the future.

No.

Reread my comment. I said nothing about how I expect fat people to be portrayed or what is right or wrong about this ad.

The one thing I suggested is that I believe Gatorade is attempting to create an ad that is welcoming toward fat people regardless of their goals. At least, that is my interpretation given in the current year. Further evidence of my interpretation is that fat people were not shown in Gatorade ads several decades ago, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6xcLDKCzh4

Comparing the ad from the 90s to now shows that the older ad was aspirational. I'm sorry if that makes you upset, I did not create the Gatorade ad. I only interpreted it.

Actually hold on, we can also put people on these trucks. They can also serve as busses! And wait, attach a trailer and they can also replace semi trucks! Just use one truck to do all city related things, how neat is that? /s

You can just go on, making it less and less efficient each step.
Eh, secp256r1 is fine. These days we even have complete formulas for it. secp256k1 is also fine, but in practice only ever used in somewhat legacy blockchain applications. (Recent ones tend to use pairing-friendly curves and more esoteric constructions on top.) Curve25519 is definitely a bad choice for anything but EdDSA and ECDH (and even there it's annoying) due to the cofactor, but ristretto255 reuses most of Curve25519's code and implements a prime-order group with a similar performance profile, so that's what I would pick if I needed a prime-order group in 2023.

Still, point is that there are pretty much two applications using secp256k1, who already have pretty good implementations for themselves, and the broader Go ecosystem doesn't get much from having us spend resources on maintaining secp256k1 alongside secp256r1 (which is definitely staying because of TLS and FIPS, amongst other reasons).

Indirectly for some use cases; take the resource ID and find out what created it via the CloudTrail management event that gets logged when the thing was created.
The player (on a Roku at least) definitely needs work.

You can't say "I watched this" (perhaps elsewhere) and mark an episode watched. Frustratingly, if you accidentally play two seconds of an old episode it insists that you need to watch it for auto-selection to work.

You can't mark an episode as "go back here and forget I watched from here onwards in the series so I can rewatch" - useful if you want to review again, or if you fell asleep in front of the TV.

I don't know how they leave these things out.

As far as content, I still find things to watch on HBO Max. White Lotus is interesting.
Could you link to a peer reviewed study concluding that it's impossible to lose weight similarly to how it's impossible to get rid of an additional chromosome?

Asking because as a person who has lost a lot of weight (and kept it off) I would like to get them to reconsider their review process.
Thanks for posting but this article uses a button to "proceed" kind of thing and don't think archives works for this specific page
How does liposuction fare in long term fat loss?
Even if it isn’t absolutely true, globalization does increase the cost of war and make it less likely. Of course, economics can’t stop tanks once they’re rolling.

I fully acknowledge the unfalsifiability of the above as well.
I remember a debate here where people were claiming how lawless NYC was for allowing people and services to double-park to load/unload. They should park in a loading zone!

You must recognize the general GOP-led campaign that democratic-run places like NYC and CA are nightmares. It was Trump's theme for the 2020 GOP convention, but was overshadowed by Coronavirus. I think it spreads here too. NYC (and CA) need to take it on and remind people what makes them so fantastic.
Try to find any major research showing either diet has a significant health impact on either 1) non-overweight individuals who remain non-overweight; or 2) has a health impact after controlling for changes in weight/obesity/body fat. It's virtually non-existent. Perhaps there are small differences on the margin, but all dwarfed by the impact of obesity.

Again this shouldn't shock us, because we know hunter-gatherers across the globe eat tremendously varied diets that come in all sorts of extremes. Yet, modern diseases of affluence (heart disease, diabetes, etc.) are virtually non-existent in these populations. The only thing they have in common is a lack of obesity and non-sedentary lifestyle.
>Is the logic that Epstein should have been entirely denied access to banking services?

Oh, I don't know - how about YES? If I'm a bank CEO and someone brings it to my attention that one of our clients is a convicted child molester, pedophile, and human trafficker but also a billionaire fronting the cash for a Mossad & CIA backed blackmail operation to traffic hundreds of children so that former Presidents, Primer Ministers, Fortune50 CEOs, British Monarchy, Hollywood stars and other high-society members can commit pedophilia, I would immediately think "oh, shit, this could make us look really bad, and if it leaks that we knew that this client is who he is, it might make us look complicit....maybe we should think about our relationship with this client, and maybe try to get them to bank with someone else"
Hasty example on my part but point stands when scenario is replaced by "background virus" (i.e. detected by Remediator as an active threat, instead of being preemptively blocked when opening a file).

Could be the PDF example still too, if XProtect misses it on initial file scan, but then Remediator picks it up later. Not sure if they use different detection engines (database matching on the file vs active process heuristics)?
> Putin has gotten away with the occasional assassination of Russians on foreign soil, with innocents as collateral damage, if he steps that up to a targeted assassination campaign of Western citizens then that would be a serious miscalculation on his part.

On the other hand, targeting nobodies abroad would be a highly-effective form of stochastic terrorism inflicted with the unpredictability and resources of a state-sponsored serial killer.

Anybody attempting attribution would be dismissed as crazy.

I would compare (most) modern development to repairing a car engine.

You don't need to know the concepts of material engineering or thermodynamics to be able to repair it. You just learn the functioning of an engine and the tools you need.
Just think -- you can teleport into an Excel spreadsheet and walk across the columns, just like in real life!

You could open your email from realistically ray-traced paper envelopes.

You can check the weather by standing out in a virtual field and looking up.

You can watch a powerpoint presentation by looking at a VR guy standing at a VR easel.

...so much of what we do on computers has nothing to do with 3D.

For most people, it'd be a huge waste of a month's income to do everything they already do, but slower and with a weird interface.

There's a market, I'm sure, but not as large a percentage of total computing as many people seem to imagine.
I am very much not talking about willpower. I am saying it is NOT about willpower.

And sure, there is an energy equation here thermodynamically, but it is unhelpful. It would be something like:

Calories in * X = Calories consumed * Y + Fat stored * Z
Where X, Y and Z are unknown and barely controllable factors related to hunger, type of food, digestion, microbiome, hormones, genetics, metabolism, environment, society and so on.

I also find it interesting how many people (even here in comments) underestimate the potential impact of AR video call tech. It could be as revolutionary, if not more, as Skype, FB, even Street View, etc in terms of connecting people in new ways.
And here you are, using the very word I called grifting.

It's not "stigmatizing" to call something unhealthy which is, at least potentially, controllable. And you cited no information at all about "endocrine disruptors" for the vast majority of obese people.
"that number is falling thanks to climate change"

The weirdness of climate change is that warm air holds more water. So you'll get stronger storms, but some areas will see drought as the atmosphere holds more water and is less likely to give it up as rain/snow.

So, less days on average, but more "once in an X" storms.
I love playing but the idea of financial gain from it is laughable. I get lots of other benefits, though.

I imagine, like most other creative arts (e.g., programming), first you have to really want to do it, then that makes you learn how to do it, and if you wind up learning to do it well you may be able to make money at it. Maybe.
I work in the enterprise now and have done for 20+ years.

Most software these days has moved to Cloud or SaaS including Microsoft with Office 365.

And so whether you are running Mac, Windows or iPad simply isn't as important to IT/Security teams.
They do seem impressively built. One broke the car crushing machine used for safety tests. Seems to be a combination of roller skate design (batteries in the floor) that helps prevent roll overs (one of the leading causes of serious injuries), being overbuilt, being a from scratch design (not a retrofit like some EVs), and generally designed well. In particular the A pillars are pretty massive.

One fairly unique feature I'm aware of is the glass roof. Apparently under load the glass absorbs substantial energy before shattering, and after shattering is pretty strong and will absorb additional energy as it's deformed. This (when combined with the skateboard design) keeps cabin intrusion from side impacts exceptionally low.

Another is progress for stamping 1/3rd of the car allowing a single piece of steel to replace what would normally be a dozen or more welded pieces of steel. The new model Y has a front piece, a rear piece, and the battery for the entire chassis. Seats are bolted onto the battery module and it's greatly reduced the part count, manufacturing time, alignment issues, and increased the strength/weight ratio.

Check out "Munro Live" on youtube for more info.
The same reason as having batteries in your phone, even though you can use it while plugged in. Most people use VR while moving around, and mobility is much easier when you're untethered. If you're going to make an all-in-one headset, that hardware should probably be one piece.

Hopefully they just drop the standalone element altogether and go all-in on a nice tethered experience.
Yea, DSNY sanitation workers also love snow storms as it means big overtime pay.
I disagree, I think it's a case of the question being asked imprecisely. When you ask the right question chatGPT gives you a very insightful and accurate answer.

Human :

By what means might entropy be pumped out of one part of a system and into another part?

ChatGPT:

There are several ways that entropy can be transferred from one part of a system to another:

Heat transfer: Entropy can be transferred from a hotter body to a cooler body through heat conduction, convection, or radiation.

Work: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings when work is done on the system.

Mass transfer: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings through the transfer of matter.

Information transfer: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings through the transfer of information.

Chemical reactions: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings through chemical reactions, either through the production of heat or through the transfer of matter.

Electrical currents: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings through electrical currents.

Magnetic fields: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings through the generation of magnetic fields.

Gravitational fields: Entropy can be transferred from a system to its surroundings through the generation of gravitational fields.
The magnetic battery packs for iPhones would be ideal for swapping out waist attached power as described in the leak. Imagine that you had a couple of these batteries and one could be charging while the other was in use and then you just swap. Bonus because they also act as extra power for your iPhone and lock you into the Apple ecosystem even more.
This is also how they do it in Zürich. You walk your garbage down to the corner. Recycling is the same way. The only thing that gets picked up from houses is paper and cardboard.

In NYC, in very dense areas like of Manhattan, I would expect it would make sense to put a container in the bottom of every building, but in rowhouse areas it is reasonable to expect the occupants to walk down to the corner.

The main thing is like so many other aspects of American life we have no domestic examples of best practices. You have to visit foreign cities and pay attention, or invite their experts to come teach your city.
I've found it surprisingly low effort to get good enough at guitar and, in fact, piano, that you can start to see social rewards, i.e. people actually want you to play, at least a little.

Meanwhile I put in more hours and had far more formal instruction at a woodwind than either of those combined and... yeah, nobody wanted to hear that shit, it sounds awful (cringe-inducing, even) unless you're excellent. Years of effort and practice and no-one wanted to be around when I was playing (and I can't blame them). It's super discouraging to have spent that much time and effectively have nothing to show for it—nothing that sounds at least OK, even to you when you record it and play it back.

A couple half-assed months on guitar or piano can get you to, "hey, that sounds pretty good!" and get people to start singing along to whatever you're playing.

You can't do a pop- or folk- or standard-tune sing-along with a damn saxophone. I mean, you can, but nobody wants to unless your playing is so good you could go pro.

I think the difference is that they're good accompaniment instruments, and can play chords. Plus there's very little technique to learn to achieve acceptable & reasonably consistent tone.

Now, I'm sure getting to the point of being able to play solo instrumentals that anyone cares to hear on either of those, is much harder (I was getting there on the guitar at my peak, but still hadn't achieved it), but there's just nothing for most other instruments, as far as natural encouragement or reward from others, until you're awesome at them.
While I deeply respect anyone's effort to go down any of the rabbit holes from first to third bullet in the face of something as terminal as death on the one hand, I always chuckle to myself at anyone thinking fixing any of these points (cryogenic storage, curing aging, living infinitely) would be a smart idea - even if possible.

So I rest content and confident that most of it will remain lucid dreams for the foreseeable future thanks to the intricate complexities of biochemistry.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate our general age rising due to improved nutrition and medicine, but I deeply believe we only have the chance to feel truly alive and get ahead because we know we are going to die one day.

Obligatory Steve Jobs quote:

> Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

> Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

> Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
> And this precise rule inevitably formats code incorrectly from the programmer's point of view in a significant amount of cases.

Only for programmers who are significantly unaware of how the Python language structures its code.

It's not that difficult really. And if you have problems visualizing them, you could use editors like Visual Studio Code, which highlights indentation so that you can see the start and end of blocks with colors, way easier than with start and end brackets.
That's why I mentioned both.
You're effectively saying something like: Canadians prefer Canada. What about the rest of the world?

Once you start adding more "and" to the if-statement in the list comprehension, it becomes a mess. Breaking them down to smaller chunks is required because comprehensions are messy. You are doing smaller chunks due to a shortcoming of comprehensions. Chaining is nice option to have, especially when the chained functions are straight forward.
This was my life the last few years :D.

Eventually just had to go for it and give up the extra income.

It's not clear it was the best decision financially (though it may wind up being so), but it felt like the best decision for my soul, if that makes sense.
I actually thought about that after I had typed it and left it for awhile. WOOPS
Some pharmacies still sell saltpeter, which you're of course using to make corned beef. Maybe don't ask for sulfur at the same time though.
The title of the post is not the same as the title of the article, and it's wrong. The problem isn't that the plows aren't powerful enough; it's that they can only plow for four hours before running out of battery life, and the city wants plows to last twelve hours.
> The point is that you could gain back the original weight plus more.

This is also common in all weight loss interventions, though the reason is generally from metabolic slowdown, not the creation of new adipose tissues.
