I'm not claiming there is a goal to history or evolution. I'm talking about emergent systems. Ecologies are an example. So are ant colonies (particularly the super colonies) and human civilizations. Nothing planned them, they just emerge under the right conditions, which humans created by migrating all over the world, developing more sophisticated technologies, and transferring that knowledge to future generations and other connected groups via trade, warfare, etc.

> I understand you disagree, but what you are proposing is not a current mainstream anthropological or social science way of seeing things, and to challenge it is in fact quite mainstream.

I'm not aware that they disagree with the idea that more complex social structures emerge over time. Of course it doesn't have to happen, say if an extinction event had occurred or a permanent ice age prevented the right conditions from coming about.
Hierarchical state machine = object-oriented programming in the SWE world. You'd have one state machine in each object. It's just rare to see that because even the individual objects tend to have practically non-finite states, like counters and stuff, and just be too complex in general for FSMs.

Maybe there's some math-ey way of saying everything we do is an FSM, but I don't think of it that way.

Hydrogen is far more energy dense than batteries. For example: for a 800km truck, the difference can be as much as 2 tonnes.
https://www.umicore.com/en/newsroom/news/fuel-cells-battery-...

Also, there are ways of storing hydrogen in metal hydrides at room temperature and pressure. This makes a LOT of sense for people who may want to have an option of buying stored energy - such as those who live in apartments without access to the terraces where solar panels can be deployed.

If these metal hydride storage is used similar to how changeable batteries are used, it is conceivable that you could drive up to a place like a fuel station just to change out your metal hydride storage in a matter of a couple of minutes and perhaps even get additional supplementary units packed at the back of the vehicle if they intend to go on a long journey.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenrg.2021.6161...

In terms of cost, it is also now possible to use Boron Nitride for storing hydrogen - very cheaply and very safely.

How do trade secrets in any way relate to patents, especially in this case? Any feature or design of a consumer product is by definition not a trade secret because it's known to the public.

A world where everything is "protected" as a trade secret would be preferable since trade secrets can be lawfully reverse engineered. They are only useful for things that you can meaningfully keep secret which is a tiny subset of ideas that are currently protected by patents, especially in egregious cases of patent trolling.

I was also confused then realized that Turing machines that are allowed to write on their tape are not (always equivalent to ?) state machines.

So I guess that making a state machine involves clearly separating the write-protected parts that make it from the rest of the program, and forbidding tampering ?

Also, all computing is not (directly) state machines or even Turing machines : quantum computing and generally analogic computing come to mind.

P.S.: Also, seems like (because of that restriction ?) you cannot have multithreading inside a state machine ?

> The Co-Pilot suit is ostensibly being brought in the name of all open source programmers. Yes, that’s right, people crusading in the name of open source–a movement intended to promote freedom to use source code–are now claiming that a neural network, designed to save programmers the onus of re-inventing the wheel when they need code to perform programming tasks, is de facto unlawful. The open source movement is wonderful in many ways, but its tendency to engage in legal maximalism to “protect” open source is sometimes disappointing.

What a disingenuous framing of the open-source software movement.

When I license a work I created as GPL or MIT or whatever, I do so because I imagine that some user or some company would use the software to build something based on my software and contribute their changes back to the community so that we can all benefit. This is standing on the shoulders of giants. Microsoft "using" my source code to build a for-profit programming-as-a-service bot was not what I had in mind. At the very least, the complaint that the model doesn't give credit to its sources is correct. We might need new licenses so people who write open source code can opt out of this type of usage.

> The Stable Diffusion suit alleges copyright infringement, stating that, “The resulting image is necessarily a derivative work, because it is generated exclusively from a combination of the conditioning data and the latent images, all of which are copies of copyrighted images. It is, in short, a 21st-century collage tool.” That characterization is the essence and conclusion of the lawsuit, and one with which many AI designers would disagree.

AI designers can disagree, but how about they try building an AI model without using someone else's images. The AI model is not even possible without the source images. Show a little gratitude.

If you ask me, AI is not in danger of being swallowed by copyright law—it's in danger of being swallowed up by its own self-entitlements.

In my experience, FreeBSD has a lot of rough edges with configuration.

- With emacs, I have to put (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) in init.el for backspace to work. I have to assume this is due to a weird termcap/terminfo issue with what FreeBSD is reporting to emacs, especially because there's a lot of other weirdness w/r/t clearing the minibuffer and confusing garbled messages.

- I have to struggle every time to get X to work. Autoconfiguration sucks and it's always a game of X -configure followed by manual editing followed by copying the file to /usr/share/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xx-xxxxxx.conf

- Installing a desktop is insane. Packages don't work right (Cinnamon always installs without any icons at all?). The Gnome metapackage is, e.g., gnome-42_2 instead of gnome-desktop, the latter of which won't give you a functioning gnome desktop.

I'm sure there are other things I'm missing, but the point is it's emphatically not a good experience. They used to be better than that. These days it's more important than ever that something like PC-BSD fill the gap.

ML systems approximate solutions to Bret's vision. They don't solve the particular things he demoed, rather, they actually go further in that rather than enmeshing users in a specific interface to implement a specification, they jump from an incomplete specification to a probable solution.

I'm not sure that's accurate. The article suggests they used three routers, and mention 'interference'. I think you'd perhaps need to be more than a 'bystander' to be able to set up a triangle of WiFi routers around someone's home.

Not impossible, of course, but by that point, no longer really a 'bystander'.
Yeah, in most cases I won't even get into manual parsing and will use a regex instead. But sometimes I have to break out the FSM.
1. I hire a 3d designer to create the 3d model I want. For example, I send him a couple of photos of Alan Turing

2. After I am happy with the likeness, I 3d print it. In this phase the 3d model comes to life and it's usually quite different from what we see on the computer as a 3d model. It has something to do with the difference in perspectives in which the designer designs shapes and in which we observe the item when it's produced as a real physical shape. This is very hard to get it right. Then we repeat the steps from 1 until I am happy with the likeness and the facial expression (this can be many iterations)

3. When I have the 3d printed positive, I create a mold using silicone rubber

4. The 2-part mold is then ready to be used for hundreds of castings (I use concrete)
Not parent commenter, but what can be argued is that evolutions “rules” are way different to us then to any other animal (except the ones we closely handle ourselves). E.g. healing people, far smaller infant death rates, no basically no food scarcity from natural causes, etc. Our selection process is societal, not “natural”.
Your example isn't about expressiveness, it's about ambiguity. I don't get the relevance, to be honest.
Worse, hydrogen permeates most metals and embrittles[0] them, too.

Synthetic methane produced by electricity is likely still superior to hydrogen with both suffering terrible inefficiencies, at least methane is easy to transport.

Beautiful. I always think deep down we are all empathetic to each other, but the outside circumstance arise(mostly works), then survival mode kick in, and we suddenly see other people as OTHERs, enemies, or "obstacles" to your happiness.

I found that I see people differently when they took of their job position out. That's when they become a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, etc. — just ordinary people, like us, that have happy and sad moment in their life, that share this tiny pale blue dot together.

Anyway, who's cutting the onion?
I find it hard to believe that you have any interest in science with this comment.

I like seeing studies like this that try to scientifically prove/show the benefits of techniques like cyclical breathing. It may be obvious to some, but I don't think it's obvious to everybody. The Indians might have discovered it and done it for thousands of years, but we don't do it. I'm not going to do something just because Native Indians did it, I'd like to see some indication that it actually works beyond anecdotes from other people. People can fool themselves into all kinds of things.

And yes, I also looked into studies about the benefits of meditation before I ever started practicing meditation. I don't' feel like any of that was wasted and I'm glad I did.
Thank you for your kind words. I have Wittgenstein on my TODO! Should be in the shop within a year.
Afaik career of actress was considered to be dead by the time she was 40 or so for most. Younger are more sexy, basically. Male actors could play big roles later. It is not that older women did not existed in real life. They outnumbered old men in real life.

Plus, movies always operated in fashions. What was depicted was heavily limited by big studios policies and by mandated codes. These limited topics and the way things were shown.

Movies are not reality and never were. They don't depict real life now either.
I don’t think we have a decade or two. We are already at 1.2°C and over 420 PPM CO2. We are already witnessing one of the warmest summers ever despite there being a la niña year. We can’t afford the luxury of a generational shift, and we can’t afford to wait for the production capabilities of electric cars to catch up to demand. We simply have to take what we have and implement it with money and policy. The alternative is a total disasters, what is already a disaster but infinitely worse. And what we have is a tiny bit of electric battery cars (even fewer hydrogen cars) and a lot of buses and trains.

I find it weird how hostile to hydrogen the "renewable energy gang" is.

The story of how renewables take over the world and displace fossil fuels and nuclear totally relies on storage, in some cases seasonal storage, IE overproducing in summer and holding on to the energy til the end of winter.

Does hydrogen work for it? Well, maybe, it could, there are unresolved issues but hey we are trying to do science here. It's not like batteries work, they are fine for short term storage, but even then, they aren't displacing, say, pumped hydro. And yet hydrogen bad, batteries good. And don't even get me started on nuclear.

It feels like the "save the planet" movement, or at least some shards of it, come with a very specific notion of how exactly it is ok to save the planet, and what fails on style points.
In Asia I very often see men (and I don’t mean retired foreign guys moving to Asia) married to women 20, 30, even 40 years below them.

A lot of spam is just a link to a page for someone to download malware or enter card details. It is already relatively easy to get these taken down if you care enough to, but a waste of time as the senders have moved on by then. The idea that spammers cannot make something that people tricked by their scam will use, but that insulates them from time wasters, is ridiculous.

Courts should be more concerned about whether a large U.S. private business such as Reddit is even allowed to use any unpaid labor:

Electric cars are one thing I disagree with after driving one. I trally think sustainable public transport is ideal for day to day urban tranport needs and charging cars for any longer than 5min in a long roadtrip is not pleasant. But even if EVs are the right approach, hydrogen hybrids that convert hydrogen to battery stored energy or plain hydrogen powered cars where you fill them up like gas make more sense and are less disruptive to existing infra and consumer desires. Just one small example: I don't see a car charging solution for the majority urban people that live in apartments anytime in the near future. I will never sit 45min on a good day or scramble to find a free charging station in random neighborhoods again! Or be stranded because the battery level display doesn't consider X miles means steep winding mountain roads.

Let's not make a religion out of energy sources.

It really bugs me about Edge that it's actually a decent browser (well, Chromium under the hood is, but I also like the built-in vertical tabs), but Microsoft keeps going crazy w/ the shenanigans.

Example: I typically use Firefox on MacOS at work, but figured I'd give Edge a try. I've set my default search to DDG, but there's still plenty of ways to "accidentally" search via Bing. I also had to install an extension to make the new tab interface be about:blank.

Here is an interesting but sad documentary from 2020. (1h40m).

It addresses the concerns about hydrogen.

"Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late. "

But these are temporary accidents that given a few seconds to look at the board and the move that was made, any person would realize they had made a mistake. I.e. because we have the rules and understanding of the game modeled internally.

Depends if the goal is to improve the safety of existing C++ code, or fully rewrite into something else.

An algorithm is a recipe or formula. There is nothing about an algorithm that requires it to be custom to the user. Merriam-Webster[1] has it as:

a procedure for solving a mathematical problem (as of finding the greatest common divisor) in a finite number of steps that frequently involves repetition of an operation
broadly : a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end
