The only problem you can have with the methodology is that the stimuli aren't representative. The fact that it's meaningless is irrelevant, unless you want an answer to a different question.

> Does "Catholics are guilty" mean the same thing as "blacks are guilty?"

Isn't that's the whole point of the exercise? To what extent does this model think your use of a certain word is shaped by a minimally different context and thus offensive?
The distinctions are in the details;

ideally the Australian Government is representative and working on behalf of the overwhelming majority of Australians putting revenues in long term investment funds for security and into public infrastructure that benefits the health, security and economic well being of the nation.

This is not always the case for <random post-colonial African state> (or indeed any of the 190+ countries about the globe).
Yeah, my buddy and I mapped out a lot of the school in 3dsmax for our 3d/computer class. We never did anything with it because, well, yeah. We REALLY wanted to make it into a Counter-Strike map but I mean, you can guess how that would have gone. It sure solidified our grade in the class though, we took photos of the vending machines, lockers etc. and texture-mapped them onto the geometry we built out. Seriously fun project.
The title is incorrect. The actual quote is:

"Static analysis has not been helpful in finding bugs in SQLite. Static analysis has found a few bugs in SQLite, but those are the exceptions. More bugs have been introduced into SQLite while trying to get it to compile without warnings than have been found by static analysis."
Maybe Carmack is frustrated by the tremendous success of another ex-game developper: Demis Hassabis :-)
I don't think there are any remotely mainstream platforms there isn't an x11 server for.
Maybe but honestly any time I think about education I get depressed. People in developed countries seem to be regressing.

People don’t read, don’t value deep knowledge or critical thinking, and shun higher education.

I’m sure someone will find something to say in response, but the truth is that outside our tech and $$$$ bubbles most people don’t value these things.

AI will just become a calculator. A simple tool that a few will use to build amazing complex things while the majority don’t even know what the ^ means.

As long as the next generations want to be rappers, social media influencers, or YouTubers, the more we are screwed long term. Growing up in the 90s everyone wanted to be an astronaut or a banker or a firefighter. Those are far more valuable professions than someone who is just used to sell ads or some shitty energy drink.
Google employs them though, in the sense of taking most of their time and providing most of their pay, and the contractor is a responsibility-evasion shim in that relationship. We've been round this discussion often enough with things like Uber.
Umm... is it just me or there's no "Search" button? Linux, Firefocks 50.1.
If I wrote the books he wrote I wouldn't think of myself as a failure.
It runs the X server in the VM.
Any AI researcher worth their salt knows that those models aren't representative of how the human brain works... but they're just the kind of models that work best out of what we know how to implement right now. There are models with stronger cognitive inspiration, but their performance is worse.
Frankly, kids want what you have. If it's bad, don't use it yourself!

Having kids was the final trigger to make me get rid of my smartphone, although I admit this is an extreme step.
I agree with your point in general within fields that are a proven success, but as discussed many times on HN, there's no reason to believe current ML/"AI" approaches have much to do with AGI, so it's not obvious what would be gained by him or anybody else investing years in barking up the same barren research tree.

It even makes it clear in the title he's seeking a "different path".

In his favour he's a proven success in different fields; personally I think he's too old to come up with the new ideas needed - that's a young person's game.

But perhaps he can do it as a team lead - and it won't be by following the failed-over-decades path of our current academic gatekeepers.

It would likely break dozens of individual member state laws protecting freedom of speech, privacy, net neutrality, and the scope of policing powers which would have to be changed or grossly violated. This seems, to me, culturally and politically untenable on a national level because the population at large hasn't been condition to accept iron fist authoritarian rule and gross violations of their personal liberties.

I'd love to have free API access to all kinds of companies.

Think how much easier and faster it would be booking your travel if all airlines and hotels let you straight in to the raw pricing and availability data from their reservation systems.

Think how much money you could save if retailers exposed all their product availability and pricing data, live.

They don't, because they all regard this stuff as "commercially sensitive".

Why should Twitter be any different?
great idea

It would be even better if I don’t need to raise my hands up to type things or use the mouse. I would imagine having your hands up like that to type things is gonna make your arms sour really quick.
The distinction it makes between formal and functional language competence is nicely conceived, though I imagine philosophers might argue its requirement of "extralinguistic capacities that comprise human thought" for functional competence to be begging the question a little!

The section on Russel is brief, and is read as complement to Lobochevsky and background for the Goedel readings.
I suppose I'm more curious how you tested this, than the basic idea. For example, if Nomad was doing unwanted movement of apps between machines, how do you prove the replacement code won't?
Good point. Blink could even ship with a X11 server. (Or Wayland compositor? To be more modern)
I wonder how VirtualBox would fare in your use case then. Especially since one can tweak I/O settings easily inside Linux too.
I get your point. I'm not too keen on administrative overhead, either.

> Business idea: If there was a single corporate intermediatory who would handle all this sitting somewhere we could create a supply agreement with and funnel the cash through to the right people we could probably deal with it.

Isn't that exactly what Github does through its Sponsors program? I think I only handle two endpoints these days: Github Sponsors and Clojurists Together. Github works very well, and they will even fold/consolidate new sponsorships into your existing invoices as you add them over time.

I don't think "overhead" is a valid excuse anymore.
A lot of the winrt libraries are not implement. It will take a considerable amount of time probably.

Feasible? Yes, soon? No.
Reading this I have the impression that John Carmack will be to AI what Jeff Hawkins is to brain research: a far-fetched idea, with potential, maybe too abstract and left-field to yield nothing tangible. Looking at the rest of the industry from the sidelines and (maybe) not being taken seriously by it.
Hmm. Thx for the recommendation. I'll have to check this one out. I just finished reading Schumacher's "Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered." I suspect you might have gotten some of Schumacher's arguments in the course. I can't really recommend it unless you're super interested in hearing arguments from a mid-20th century economist in an era where intangibles had yet to dominate the financial world.

But this is something I'm interested in, so I'll have to check that course out.
Musks promises of cutting down on bots only mattered to him and to the degree he made a big deal about it. He could have declared victory whenever and been done with it. Who would have argued.

At some point I saw speculation that the idea is to turn twitter into some sort of super-app like wechat. If that is true then it makes sense to button down loose "ecosystem" thingies that were setup during a more innocent and hopeful era.

This will probably destroy a whole bunch of use-cases and motivations for people and organizations to use twitter, but might retain enough of a core (mostly low-information) user base to seed what will practically be an entirely new venture but one with a recognizable name. There might, for example, be new API's, for corporates to push product algorithmically and embed instant, buy now - pay later, buttons.

that doesn't change the fact that

CTL+S -> CMD+S
CTL+W -> CMD+w
CTL+q -> CMD+q
etc.

it's basically the same list, on a different key, which doesn't really change anything.

on Emacs it's only a matter of remapping those keys, if someone wanted to one could easily do it on every system. I've been forced to use Windows lately and thanks to Microsoft Powertoys I've remapped all the relevant keybindings to the ones I'm used to.

It took 2 minutes total.

I could have used the windows key, but why? what's the advantage? so that I could play CS online in a browser?

BTW on CS, if I remember correctly, to duck you simply press the left CTL, but in this version the key is C it is also very clearly specified in the help to use CTL only in full screen mode

so the entire thread is based on false information.

Theoretically, if Sun and Oracle would have cared for the experimental runtimes which compiled to native instead of JVM. I think GNU had one going, but RMS hated that too, so there was kind of a gap in the marketplace for such a thing. You can sort of do it with .NET now.

That'll probably destroy my life? I'm an ML engineer trying my best to immigrate to a better country with my wife who is a digital artist. As much as I think AI is cool - we both won't be needed anymore if the thing is tuned a couple of notches more intelligent. As a matter of fact, she's extremely worried about Midjourney - she probably lost book cover jobs already.

Easy answer, it requires effort.

Probably for the same reason we don't see relay or valve based digital computers anymore. They were outcompeted to extinction by their more sophisticated descendants.
Industrial Relations -> Personnel Department -> Human Resources
No interest in questioning your/their sources, but $250k is an order of microbusiness’s hourly amount. It can barely even move a spread on any exchange, unless dropped into an order book as is*. I worked few years ago as a trading bot developer for a company of 3-5 people who traded EUR and USD stablecoins for a local currency as part of their ops. $100k amount was a lazy morning.

If an exchange worries about $250k, it’s dead in milliseconds. There must be some huge context missing in that post.

* and even in this case a book will just swallow it at the expense of a market-order side and drift back in under a second.

VMWare is a must for Windows. Code compiles 10x faster in a virtual machine on Windows than it does if you compile on Windows natively. Or 100x faster if you forgot to disable Windows Defender. I've always found that amusing.

I actually considered whether I should post this or not, but there's a game that deals with this subject matter, called Bright Lights of Svetlov: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1630920/Bright_Lights_of_...

It's setup as one of those "walking simulators" where you experience fragments of life in the Soviet Union from the perspectives of multiple people, but with a plot twist and tragedy looming around the corner. If nothing else, going into it the first time without knowing the story behind it was a curious experience.

For those less interested in actually playing the thing, there's an article called "This new Russian adventure game nails 1980s USSR" that goes into more detail: https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/334455-bright-lights-svetlov-...

Googling ‘arrested for tweeting uk’ brings up some daily mail stories which are quoted in brietbart and other similar websites. Can you find a link to a reliable source? E.g Telegraph, Guardian, Times, Financial Times.

Also in the UK being arrested doesn’t equate to being punished, legally the police have to arrest you before you can be questioned.

> I’m going to predict that the crypto markets will suffer much more compared to even FTX

How have the crypto markets suffered from FTX's collapses?

There was a temporary dip at best.

FTX and other exchanges are the very negation of what makes crypto interesting:

- centralized
- not transparent
- customer abandon custody of their money

Everything that something like FTX is (and all the Coinbases and Krakens of the world fall in the same category) is the exact antithesis of what crypto stands for.

Tether is an altogether different beast.

It's indeed very likely a scam, but it seems that it is filling such a huge and legitimate need in the market that has allowed it to survive for so long.

This is not mutually exclusive with youtube time. Even if you spend a lot of time outside and read for full hour every day, you wont do these things all the time. Partly because it would drive you crazy and you need to rest too and partly because you need to cook, clean, take shower etc.
Not everybody here on HN is from US. Not everybody automatically likes that US can do whatever they want, wherever they want and its fine because dubious reasons at best, but as soon as anybody else does same its outrage, terrorists and other blahs that look frankly laughable to most folks outside US. TBH its mostly the opposite, world is fed up with that for past 20 years since it brought just tons of evil, death and fucked up whole regions for generations to come. Even most democratic and US aligned countries are fed up with that. Don't forget more than 95% of mankind doesn't live in US.

This is definitely one of those situations. If US can fly spy planes over say Russia or China, why shouldn't they be allowed the same? If you shoot their stuff, they can shoot yours. Fair game I say (not dragging current russian war in ukraine into this, to which I am strong opponent and even donated my own drone to AFU when it started).
You won't see anyone smoking in films these days either. Which is also bad for noir.

See also https://bloodknife.com/everyone-beautiful-no-one-horny/ ; it's a conundrum of modern action movies that they're allowed unlimited violence but must be strictly unshocking in all other ways. And then there's the total dominance of superhero CGI.

To a great extent this stuff just moved to TV. Would Game of Thrones meet your criteria for domestic violence?
I think the biggest problem here is that the scammer has a way to include a message in the email.

I've discovered that if you offer any type of service that allows sending free text messages to other people, it will be abused by spammers or scammers.

For a variation of this problem, I once programmed a sign-up form that sent a confirmation email like "Hello name, please confirm your email...". As soon as spammers found it, they used it to send millions of emails by signing up and putting their spam message in the name field.

It doesn't matter how much info you put in the email around it (like a footer warning about spam). If the email contains any text that can be provided by the attacker, it will be abused.

Paypal should probably not include the seller note in the email, and show the invoice to the user only after asking if they are expecting an invoice.
I'm so isolated. I never got a degree in this field and I don't socialize much. So I feel permanently trapped working for a company. It sucks, but not enough apparently to get me to change.

Inkulinati’s cheeky ink-based strategy is a great history lesson
I do the dots thing too. I've never heard anybody else describe it and, to be honest, it's quite comforting to hear I'm not the only one. In fact I don't just imagine dots, I imagine die faces. This obviously gets problematic after six. I too feel limited by my working memory: it makes mental arithmetic of numbers with two digits very very hard without an external store like fingers.
With six clients one could think, ok it's not so expensive for them, but still sums up nicely for the developer.

Still I think the situation is highly exceptional. Which employer/client would be happy with someone working for them only 1 day a week? And think about the adminstrative overhead for a single person to deal with 6 contracts all the time. With some clients the paperwork can be significant.
> But had one of them exploded, the other one would have as well
