This is a dangerous assertion.
Web3 never had any “there there” No coherent use case, no value add. Smart contracts? Maybe. No proposed use case actually requires or benefits from blockchain. The currencies were always blatant speculation. A cabdriver in OKC recently told me he was “invested” in diesel coin. A) wtf is that and B) in what way is that an investment (you know where you dedicate capital to a value engine and when value is created you get out more than you put in)

AI as it exists TODAY has the potential (with a bit of prompt engineering and a free account) to assist everyone in their jobs. It will disrupt the software industry, art, writing, education, law, science.

Specialized AI assistants already exist and work startlingly well. It can write at a college level. It can code at a college level. It can learn specialized knowledge worker skills in a trivial amount of time. (Law for example)

It’s ok to not be optimistic. But if you discount it entirely you’re in for a bad time in the coming year, three years, five years.

Actually no, do whatever you want. Ai will come as a surprise to something like 6 billion people. There’s no harm to me in you being part of that group. And frankly the existence of different opinions about the future is a great hedge every society makes.
This is why i never did the "startup thing" properly. It's for insiders or it's a lottery. Outsiders may think they know what they are doing, but in the end of the day, they are just randomly poking and sometimes it hits big.

If you make stats on how many got to those schools through legacy admission, or how many of them were born in the Valley, or how many of them are white males, all of it will show one thing: you got to be an insider and be born into it. I know a lot of rich people from "mere" millionaires to at least one centimillionaire. Many of them did many different, loosely related or unrelated things, of which several worked out, so they are not gamblers. But none of those were a real "startup", that is, something online on the Internet for the real people/businesses to use, whoever tried that, everyone failed and never got a slightest idea about what went wrong, apparently it was a mistake to try.
FTC Proposes Ban on Noncompetes, Which Agency Says Stifle Innovation
I'm still struggling to think how this could have happened. I wonder if it has something to do with interaction with annualcreditreport.com?

Maybe originally the code had multiple levels of authenticating the user: 1) we know who you are, but you haven't proven it yet, and 2) you've proven it, now you can see everything.

But when they integrated with a 3rd party, which could have been a decade or more after the original code was written, some developer who didn't understand the code just lumped everyone who came over from annualcreditreport.com into basket #2, even though that user still had to go through the url flow to prove themselves. Just a guess.

I don't think most non-programmers realize how often preventing this kind of thing comes down to one developer making a stink repeatedly to indifferent higher-ups. If that one developer is incompetent or doesn't care, no one else does.
It's Cameron's most amazing scene in my opinion. The other arc that's resolved by this scene is that after the safety and sanity of the old world is blasted away by the terminator, Sarah is forced to decide once and for all on Reese. She's left alone, in the dark, hiding under a desk. Reese is searching for her and she's frozen for a moment before she finally decides to trust him and responds to his call. This is why I say that T1 is James Cameron's greatest love story.
> I developed a unique way to write interpreters based on threaded code jumps and basic block versioning when I made MiniVM (https://github.com/FastVM/minivm). It was both larger and more dynamic than WebAssembly.

I'd be very interested to read more about this. It looks like you are using "one big function" with computed goto (https://github.com/FastVM/Web49/blob/main/src/interp/interp....). My experience working on this problem led me to the same conclusion as Mike Pall, which is that compilers do not do well with this pattern (particularly when it comes to register allocation): http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg00742.html

I'm curious how you worked around the problem of poor register allocation in the compiler. I've come to the conclusion that tail calls are the best solution to this problem: https://blog.reverberate.org/2021/04/21/musttail-efficient-i...

Knowing that "we only have a few million in funding per year" was a valid excuse for generating abusive traffic and refusing to do anything about it, would definitely have changed a few conversations I've had working at startups. Interesting.
Force in numbers.

It's powerful because there's a lot of it.

Also it's deceptive as hell. See all the stories here about strange pockets of rivers that almost killed people, or the author's own note about the 252 degree hot pockets in Yellowstone Lake with an average survival time of 20 minutes.

I think when people see water they're tempted to think it's a nice pool or a lazy river to enjoy - when really it's most likely a death trap.
That depends on the systems they use. I appreciate the OP for making at least one office give a moment's thought to it.

>but you could post this exact side-by-side to /r/movies with a title like, “So, I tried updating the color scheme—what do you think, Reddit?”

but it's art, so of course you're going to get a plethora of opinions. some people just like warmer tones, some like cooler tones. even if you apply those tones in a way that makes the image less realistic and much more, ahem, artistic, people will naturally like/dislike depending on their perspective.

the provided GBU examples and all others with side-by-side comparisons are stark, but if you only saw the "everything in mexico is orange" color scheme, it's not atrocious. i don't like it, but that's my opinion and doesn't mean it is wrong. when i grade images i shoot in RAW, i make decisions that others may or may not like. with the colors, i tend to keep them in the real world ranges if not with a bit of punch to the saturation. other people immediately hit the filters or swing the tint to get an otherworldly feel.

at the end of the day, if the new color scheme is attractive to a younger audience and it gets younger people to watch an older movie, then is that so bad? it's not like Ted Turner got out his crayons to colorize a B&W movie.
It is true but usually not useful to say. Start with the assumption he 80% of everything is crap and be happy about the exceptions but not really fussed at the crap. If you can’t do do these things, you lack the merit needed to work with others. You can always go off alone and do excellent stuff.
Been there, got out.

I recommend to listen to some of Cal Newport's "lifestyle centric career planning" podcast episodes on this. I basically followed similar ideas a decade ago and have been very happy with the decision.

Your thinking is not at all childish or idealistic. It's important to straighten these sort of questions out.

>outside the internet… your spoken word carries social and physical consequences, which tends to teach one pretty quickly not to run their mouth.

I see this written a lot on the internet, but it diverges pretty strongly from what I see in real life, i.e. people run their mouths all the time.

The difference I see is that, on the internet, pretty much every interaction is with a stranger you’ll never talk to again, so there is no point in trying to build a rapport.
When you have a (rotating) bar, the allowed orbits tend to intersect with each other. This has not effect on the stars, since they're so small relative to the space involved that they never collide; but gas clouds are quite large, and they will intersect with each other. The resulting collisions cause them to lose some of their (orbital) energy and sink onto smaller orbits.

If I remember correctly, a second effect is that the collisions tend to cause the gas to concentrate/pile up near the leading edge of the bar, which causes an offset between the mass of the stars (making up the bar) and bulk of the gas; the stars end up pulling on the gas in the direction opposite to the orbital motion, and so the gas loses energy and angular momentum, shifting onto smaller orbits.

It really has nothing to do with magnetic fields: you readily get this effect in hydrodynamical simulations without any magnetism, and most of the gas in the bar region isn't in the form of plasma anyway (it's primarily a mixture of neutral atomic hydrogen and molecular hydrogen).

Plus, a gaming PC is a pretty significant investment in both time and money. Selecting parts and doing the build+software setup takes a bit of time and energy, it's far more work than just going to a store and buying a console. Plus, it takes up quite a bit more space, since it basically needs a dedicated desk.

That's simply far too much effort and hassle for many people, which is why I totally understand why pc gaming is a niche.
The Peter Thiel Question: Test of character, tactical bet, or social commentary?
Are you on x11 or Wayland? All animations will be choppy on x11; it's not your Trackpad's fault, but your window server.

If you have compatible hardware, try a Wayland-based system and see if that fixes the smoothness for you. It's completely possible to get 60fps 1:1 touchpad gestures on most laptops that have come out in the past decade.
Wouldn't and indeed likely couldn't. Cameron's talent in the early years was writing very fast paced films with stock characters - but adding a richness and depth to those in theory cliche characters (especially the women) that transcended the pulpiness of the material. Viewers got the best of both worlds - action comics meets cyberpunk punchy SF scripts, and (frequently working class and female) witty, humanised characters. This juggling act has been missing (irrespective of their financial success) from his films since Titanic.

Something that frequently gets lost in the consideration of the work of artists is that is doesn't always improve. Lots of artists / craftspeople make less vigorous, audacious work when the pressures of early career establishment are removed.

Spielberg and Lucas are both great examples of the same thing - with the same mix of humanised, droll, often working class protagonists much more richly drawn and well portrayed than was common for the time. Without these characters and this balance of pacy storytelling, the blockbuster has become mushy fan service. See any recent marvel, 'fast franchise' film, or indeed Avatar.
Possibly, but the 1998 furby is not longer sold. You wouldn't be competing with the company that made them by making an emulator. The code itself is most interesting as a part of history and I think you aren't really preserving historically significant code if it can no longer be run. Would this be considered fair use?
Not just orange, but looks like they tried to make it "HDR" by dragging all the sliders to max.

I usually refer to these kinds of amateur fake HDR as "clown vomit".
But this isn't one of those "we developed fast and did dumb stuff". They put significant effort into doing something dumb.

That's a weird take. I am French, I have never heard (except for Téléphone's song) that expression. The closest thing that comes to mind is "plouf plouf".

Wouldn't it simply be because you have been using (and publicly disclosing) that mail address for quite some time and it probably became part of each and every email list script kiddies are able to get their hands on?
But it’s not Google DDoSing them, it’s every user downloading packages. Without the proxy it would just be millions of users hammering their servers.

The gist of the argument is that addition + other operations on non-computable numbers (which the real numbers contain) require infinite algorithms or something similar (unlike addition on computable irrational numbers which may require infinite work, but the algorithms are finite). You can therefore get situations where, say, the tenths digit in a sum of non-computable numbers is not defined because of potentially infinite carries, and there's no way to determine if the sequence of carries terminates or not. He discusses the problem in the context of different representations of real numbers, including infinite decimals, cauchy sequences, and dedekind cuts etc. This is just the gist of it.

That's probably great as well, but I'm talking about searching for a book author.

Just for example Clean Code is a great book, but the presentation is so much better:

https://youtu.be/7EmboKQH8lM
Couldn't one argue that a book would likely have better writing in it as opposed to a blog post? Maybe what you're really saying is you like good writing now, and you used not like it as much?
> 50% seems like a big number

I don't know why I thought that linking a scientific paper reporting accurately all the data would be helpful to the discussion.

Not my opinions my friend.

> but it's a pretty meaningless statistic women overall smoke less than men

That's not how epidemiology works.

The fact that black men in USA have ~20% higher risk of getting lung cancer, despite being less than white men, says anything to you?

No, they don't smoke more.

No, risk of getting cancer is not linked to how many cigarettes you smoke in a lifetime, once a smoker, the risk gets higher and stays higher for as long as you live, even if you quit.

> even though 100% of smokers are getting cancer

they are absolutely not!

See why I say non smocking is over hyped?

Because it leads to ideology, which is not the same thing of being informed.
Is there ever a point where we can just accept the reality that "open source marketing" is really kind of an oxymoron?

If you want to give your work away for whatever reason, I salute you.

I know it's hard to believe but trying to monetize what is available for free just doesn't meet with a whole lot of success in most cases. And it is really misleading to keep suggesting otherwise.
I would love, love to have seen T2 unspoiled. The crafting of the first act is masterful if you don't know the twist.

Such as shame that was impossible.
PopOS doesn't use Wayland yet, so it can't benefit from any silky-smooth 1:1 trackpad gestures (yet). It's on the roadmap probably, but only GNOME and KDE-based systems have implimented 'complete' gesture support.

Apple's paying a bit more attention to gaming these days, but I don't think they'll ever release an Apple TV that performs better than a midrange phone.

If they really wanted to make a big push into gaming they could; they certainly have the gazillions for it. Make a more powerful Apple TV, invest a billion into game dev studios to target MacOS and iOS, either make Apple Arcade free or beef it up for the same price. I just feel like they would've done this by now if they were ever going to.

This is a weird definition of "personal", like PGP kicked his dog or something. The arguments he makes against it are detailed and the agreement of most working cryptographers, even if they don't agree with his specific deprecation schedule. Some people would call that "good engineering".
It’s not a bad idea, but you can already do this kind of check with shared knowledge. “Where did we go for vacation when I was a kid?”, “where did we eat for dinner last time we saw each other” Etc.
I'm not sure how we could enumerate all the possible risks in a wilderness or near wilderness setting.
Many people write in this thread about summaries, but in my opinion, the book is more than that. What I'm searching in a book, besides relaxing and other stuff, is ideas. I always find interesting that most boring part of the a book introduce some great ideas, or advices. Like when you expect it at least, they appears - like finding your better half. If you try to search for a one, the chances are that you won't find one. They appears in some random hidden places. That's how I see books. There's always something hidden where you don't expect it. Also I read a book from cover to cover, for the reason I explained before.
I was like this for a long time, then I got older. That said, you seem to be following your body's instincts well, so good for you.
I'm working on exactly the opposite of this, I have a GPT-3 based bot hooked up to voice recognition and Coqui for TTS I'm training to bait scammers. It has memory like ChatGPT (but only the previous 50 things said). The delay/latency makes it tough to get the scammer to not hang up initially, but the ones that tolerate the slow responses are very easily fooled by the bot. I'm working on speeding it up more and adding stammering, ums and uhs, and background noises etc to fill the delay.
Sure, but if you live in New York City, you don't really need to worry about getting eaten by a bear on your walk to the coffee shop.
I get what you're saying but there's also progress being made, I'm assuming you're in the US, have a look beyond the borders.

I'm not sure it'll lead anywhere if we keep pointing the finger at others and expecting others to change before we accept changes that affect us. There are 8 billion people on this planet and we have to start being more respectful to the environment as individuals. Our lifestyle is not sustainable and the sooner we understand that as individuals and the sooner we make changes, the sooner those changes will be expected from politics, industry, etc. I just don't believe meaningful change will happen top down but bottom up.
Shell job control actually originated in Bill Joy's csh as part of BSD (as did vi).

Holy shit, glad you're okay. That was quick thinking.
The universe is finite, so Turing machines are still more powerful. We know the universe is finite because it has a finite volume, and even if it were to expand infinitely, which is debatable, it still has finite extent in spacetime because of heat death.
> Read the whole thread. Francis is the creator of Keras and an AI engineer at Google. He knows his stuff.

I read the thread, it actually starts with him saying:

"If this had been a blog post and not a random spur-of-the-moment train of thoughts, I wouldn't have made the AI/web3 comparison. It was counterproductive, as it is what most folks are now focusing on. The two are, in fact, very much not the same."

So you can have the "appeal to authority" but the authority now says that was bad and should not have done it. :-)

He continues:

"I meant to compare the surrounding hype generation dynamics (as discussed towards the end of the thread). Expectations unmoored from reality becoming a universally accepted, self-evident canon once the same narratives have been repeated enough times in the echo chamber."
OpenAI is mostly likely using Azure for training as well, and Microsoft has the model weights directly (and officially! they are even allowed to use them), so that gives a lot of possibilities for Microsoft to replicate the tech, without purchasing OpenAI.
Is there any data to support the hypothesis that this happens often? I've never experienced it without being a human typo. I find it hard to believe in this day and age we have a single service that has high error rates no one notices.

Open source tortoise-TTS has been able to do this for 6+ months now, which is also based on the same theory as DALL-E. From playing with tortoise a bit over the last couple of weeks it seems like the issue is not so much accuracy anymore, rather how GPU intensive it is to make a voice of any meaningful duration. Tortoise is ~5 seconds on a $1000 GPU (P5000) to do one second of spoken text. There's cloud options (collab, paperspace, runpod) but still https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts

Many companies have a dedicated technical track that runs in parallel with the management track, specifically for cases like yours (which are very common)

You could suggest adopting that kind of structure at your current company? Or otherwise, you may just have to look for it elsewhere. But your feelings are valid, and you're definitely not locked into management across the whole industry, even if you end up having to pick between this and the other things you like about your job

But it sounds like you're really unhappy, and you should definitely listen to that feeling
I disagree with #1, I live in Colorado and many trails here are out of cell range. My advice here is either get a satellite phone and/or do some research about where you are going and only go if it's a well travelled trail. I often go out by myself into places without cell coverage but I always research the place to make sure that if I run into issues, there will almost certainly be someone there to help me. It's not a perfect system but it's better than going in blind somewhere.

Also, pack 2-3x the water you think you will need.
MacOS is doing this.
That is 193 KPH -- seems pretty fast to me, even for the autobahn.
Here's the thing: half of this has been going on for decades. Jobs have been eliminated through automation, creating more wealth with less human effort, which is pretty much the whole point of having a civilization.

However, these gains weren't distributed fairly. For the most part, the rich got richer and the rest of us--meaning not just "the poor" but everyone who's not independently wealthy--are somewhat poorer than we were 50 years ago.

If the response counts as a comment, then that ratio is impossible to fulfill - although in that interpretation it'd be impossible to fulfill IRL as well, so I don't think we can use comments vs replies as a metric, unless you only count root-level comments as "talking" and sub-root comments as "listening", in which case I feel like the ratio does hold true
