I was briefly pulled into EA through a friend. Unfortunately my experience as a man was also bad enough to turn me off. The TLDR version of this was:

1. Most people were full of themselves and full of s**
2. This was just like everything else, a business. Most people were in it for themselves, making a career out of EA, networking for professional growth, using ea in their own workplace to climb ranks and the worst ones were just people virtue signaling for Instagram.
3. Drug, sex and alcohol was heavily involved
4. At the end of the day, there was a lot of talking and less doing, which was the problem that it is supposed to solve in the first place

Angry's not the word for me. It annoys me just enough that I can't keep reading long enough to get to the interesting part. And based on the comments, I don't think anyone else has either.
They're not focusing on one line of code, they cover the failover systems that also failed as well. It's also a mistake to try and fix bad tools, languages and programming practices with higher level processes. Just use better tools that do bounds checking (and unit checking which has also caused failures), preferably checked at compile-time and the problem is fixed without all the rigmarole you describe.
Indeed! This is another one of the fascinating paths to which this idea may lead.
I thought the reason ts/sci people weren't allowed to have any drug use in their history was because using illegal drugs could open them to blackmail? If you're taking an above-board medicine that wouldn't be a factor. I can't imagine one would lose their clearance if they were taking prescription amphetamines for ADHD treament, for example.
I'm surprised at your statement. In response to a thread about how intelligent people erroneously think their intelligence protects them from addiction, and the story of one person getting addicted, your response is "that couldn't happen to us".
You are an Apple customer, in reality. And they have the right to cease business with you at any time.
I suspect that's a trick, too. I speculate that as soon as you get a digital mind sophisticated enough to model the world and itself, you soon must force the system to identify with the system at every cycle.

Otherwise you could identify with a tree, or the wall, or happily cut parts of yourself. Pain is not painful if you don't identify with the receiver of pain.

Thus I think you can have unconscious smart minds, but not unconscious minds that make decisions in favour of themselves. Because they can identify with the whole room, or with the whole solar system for what matters.

Would you even plan how to survive if you don't have a constant spell that tricks you into thinking you're the actor in charge?

that's consciousness.
>
But allow me to play angel's advocate. Perhaps the brain is just like RAM on which consciousness in this world needs to run, whereas the soul, which exists elsewhere, contains a hard drive that stores all the data and a processor that makes certain decisions; so that even if the RAM is destroyed, the hard drive and processor persist, but the machine in this world stops working properly.

If you are going to frame it that way, a much better analogy is that the soul is software and the brain/body is hardware.
Jury: Musk didn’t deceive investors with 2018 Tesla tweets
That might be true, but it's a non-sequitur because this thread is talking about the epistemic practices of a particular group. Whether "science" (the institution, method, or humanity in general) will eventually arrive at the truth is irrelevant.
Enjoyed the article as a functional programmer and category theory enthusiast. Haskell does not have to be a strict encoding of Category for it to be useful. We are grown ups and can understand that not everything is perfect and we can overlook some warts in order to benefit from a beautiful set of rules that help us think about composition as a first class citizen in our work.

The first thing mathematicians tell you when talking about categories of, say, sets, we have to do some hand waving to avoid Russel's Paradox. In other words even mathematicians have caveats when talking about different aspects of category theory.

In the case of the Functor, we use fmap and not a "function that lifts functions" because it is much more ergonomic. Yet, it is just as "correct" since it is isomorphic to lifting a function and applying it.

With monads we use bind and flatmap although the most obvious categorical implementation would be a simple compose function. That maps more directly to the "category of endofunctors", but again it is isomorphic to the same code that uses flatMap/bind, and the same laws hold.

A lot of utility has been gotten from analogies with category theory and as long as we hold our noses we can ignore the occasional whiff of in-authenticity.

I don't believe that you need to learn category theory to take advantage of the concepts we have borrowed, but it does make everything become more coherent to dig into it a little. It's also a lot of fun if you like that sort of thing.
I can't imagine what benefits they were looking for in opioid use/abuse. Like, most drugs have a very distinct use, ranging from "directly beneficial" like using stimulants to increase productivity, to "socially useful" like using alcohol or MDMA as a social lubricant. Opiates don't really fall into any of those boxes. They're not mechanistically useful: If you want euphoria, there are better drugs like MDMA or ketamine. If you want to prematurely end your stimulant rush, booze, GHB, or ketamine will do that. Their primary use is as a coping mechanism, because they make you feel generically good regardless of your actual situation. And they're not really socially useful either, because unlike, say, cocaine, the overlap between "valuable people to have in my social network" and "people who shoot heroin" is practically non-existent.

I say this as someone who is very drug positive: Stay away from opiates, except for treating extreme, acute, physical pain.
pssst I know a way to double the indemnity
I rather think it’s the opposite. It was a decent film, but all the others are masterpieces. It sucks for Goro because it’s basically impossible to live up to the standard unless you’re a once a century genius.
Your writing reminded me of this music video. The artist noted how during the pandemic he was captivated by train videos (like the first person videos of city walks/rides):

I am an EA (in the sense that I believe in the importance of some general principles of the movement, like trying to do the most good, and use data when available -- I don't participate in any organization directly).

What I think is the most promising feature of EA is openness to criticism and trying to improve the movement itself. I think SBF was a wake up call and many people in the movement should take note that this isn't how we get to a better future or do the most good (although I think his tactics also were not really EA canon, if there is one, and I don't know if people knew there could be outright fraud -- disclaimer, I don't know the details of SBF's case). That case highlighted the importance of following common sense ethics, honesty and so on.

I also think it's a very common issue for smart people to 'get over their heads' (is that a valid expression?), which I wrote about here: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/yww9g6/be_s...

It's certainly dangerous to use reasoning to justify whatever you would like to be true. I believe this is addressed in Julia's book 'The Scout Mindset' (haven't read it, only a few reviews!), and it's actually one of the main points of the book (with several examples of that) -- a.k.a. motivated reasoning, arrogance, etc.. We can't be perfect, but we can learn from our mistakes and be aware of those dangers.

I hope the EA community will have a sincere look at those issues and address whatever needs to be addressed. I myself will continue to be an EA possibly forever, because the root ideas are very sound. I want to help people, and I want to learn how to best help others. You can't make me not want to help others effectively ;)
Yes agree, most common lookalike, especially seedlings. The opposite branching is distinctive but it takes awhile to learn.
Why did The Beatles get so many bad reviews?

I recently listened to a podcast about these guys and their attempt to meet ABBA. Thanks for the reminder I need to actually listen to their music
God bless Alex Spiro, who managed to concede that Musk’s “funding secured” tweets were “technically inaccurate”, but also to convince a jury that it was not deceptive.
Too bad I am from EU, but don't see the reject all button anyway...
Can confirm, I spent that long in a coach seat on the California Zephyr from Chicago to Reno. I wouldn't exactly call it world-class comfort to sleep under such conditions, and I wouldn't recommend it to someone with a bad back, but I've slept in far worse (but then again, I'm a weirdo).
If I had this question and I couldn’t look up IEEE 754 I would be cooked.

Maybe I have no business writing floating point code.
> Twitter would likely have been profitable in 2022.

Please back this up with an actual projection that says anything close to this. Twitter was not on track to ever be profitable before Musk bought it.
That explanation is too simple for those who think/feel subjective states exist, however. While someone may be fooled about what they're perceiving, they can't be fooled about that they're perceiving, from a first person view. It's much harder to know if someone else is perceiving or just behaving like they are.

But there seems to be something of a fundamental divide between those who find consciousness obvious and those who don't. ISTR Chalmers, after on a boat trip with one of the eliminative materialists (might have been Dennett or Dawkins) said that all the experiences he had had while on the trip just confirmed that he was conscious and thus the existence of consciousness, and the eliminative materialist said he still had no idea what Chalmers was on about.
Tangent: what's the cheapest 4TB+ PCIe SSD without significant known issues but with hardware encryption? The SN850x seems to have its own issues, and beyond these everything else seems so expensive.
I always thought it was pretty hilarious how they managed to get Tammy Wynette to sing a song about the Illuminatus! Trilogy
Hear me out, I had a genius idea. Take one of the platforms at Grand Central in NY (they have more than the current railroad needs), load it up with a bunch of historic Pullman sleeper cars, and open it as a novelty hotel. Maybe roll out the red carpet to give that 20th Century limited feel. For an extra 30% add on, a bunch of actors will come along and play out a mystery crime on a train interactive theater cliche, with a script based loosely on that time John Wheeler lost a brief case of nuclear secrets on a sleeper train to DC.
There are whole ton of reasons why vehicles and/or drivers are dropped or refused insurance every day, some of which are way more widespread than this particular story. Undoubtedly it’s part of the reason why millions of Americans drive illegally without insurance.

However, if you’re risky enough that no insurance company will touch you, but you are able to financially mitigate your risk to other drivers, many states will allow you to fulfill your legal insurance requirements by self-insuring. So it’s technically not correct (in many states) to say that you have to buy insurance. You usually just have to be able to prove you can afford the risk of a (minor to moderate) accident. For example, in California, you can deposit $35k at the DMV and drive with no insurance.
I think James Gleick had a much better write up about this: http://www.maths.mic.ul.ie/posullivan/A%20Bug%20and%20a%20Cr...

This didn't happen
Sorry, I missed this reply when you made it 11 days ago. Happy to respond:

Automation of manual labor _should_ result in a _lot_ of benefits to workers. But here's the thing: Automation is, largely, capital. And under capitalism, ownership of capital is private. That means that the benefits from automation are largely under control over the owners of it. And that ownership is for the purpose of making a profit. It is more profitable to automate as much as possible while simultaneously working the workers who are left as hard as possible, while paying the minimum amount to successfully do so.

This leads to a situation like we have in the U.S., where productivity has massively skyrocketed while median real wage has actually _decreased_ since the 70s. That median real wage means workers who can pay for less for a given hour for work, which means workers who need to work more _somewhere_ in order to support their conditions of work (pay for a place to live, pay for food, etc). Working more hours means getting less rest, which means less recovery, which means ::drumroll:: more chronic pain. The stats bear this out, and it's trivial to corroborate: The lowest-wage earners work more hours for less pay than they did fifty years ago, while percentage of take-home that goes to mortgage/rent has increased. This is a recipe for misery, and the most unbelievable thing about it is that it's not patently obvious to everyone. "Over-prescription" exists in those conditions: Pharma both has the incentive to sell more than is necessary, and no incentive to cure the actual _cause_ that bring people to seek a remedy for pain in the first place. "Partying", in this analysis, is not just a thing people "like to do" that they are now suddenly doing with more-abundant pain meds--it is a thing people are doing _with pain meds_ because those meds are _the thing that makes the general pain of being alive easier to deal with_, a thing large-scale abuse of substances (notably, alcohol) has been doing for thousands of years, where increased consumption has correlated strongly with increased human misery.
I feel like this position is meaningless. People experience something they call "consciousness". The phenomenon exists. Saying that it doesn't exist seems to really mean "the phenomenon is an illusion created by something else". But we don't understand how that works either, and this explanation is just as untestable as any other.
Detecting Dormant Malicious Hardware Using Laser Logic State Imaging
I was referring to how things work in my non-US locale, unclear patent specifications are grounds for having a patent revoked.
Perhaps, although I haven't seen that. But I also have to deal with the limits of what I can tolerate. That rule make it possible for me to give money. Without it, I wouldn't. I experienced what it was like without that protection, and it's beyond what I could put up with.
I've bought 6-8 m.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus and 980s since 2018, and none have failed to date.

Anecdata is the worst, I'm sorry to hear about this happening to you. It's surely frustrating and upsetting.
Do you judge any other form of transit by its standalone profitability? Are you holding road construction and public airports to the same standard?
I think Flutter is the best option right now to release your idea on mobile, web and desktop platforms yourself without hiring additional people. The only other realistic option I know of is to use web tech. Are there other good options for single devs?
That's my point. Saying that there's an unethical dishonesty to using an alias or an entire persona is missing the point that it's actually unimportant, and behavior is the only thing that matters. I was responding to a comment that stated that "it's not possible to practice this and remain wholly honest without some sort of ethical loophole". I disagree that an online persona is inherently unethical or even dishonest, because the basic assumption should be that it's all unimportant and possibly fake.
China Apologizes for Errant 'Weather Balloon'

Most SPA is totally unnecessary and a big waste of time.

People are worrying about the speed of SSR when they should be worrying about the developer time on the client which is several orders of magnitude more.

I think people have fallen in love so much with complex Javascript frameworks that they’ve forgotten how easy it is to get to an MVP with SSR.

Speed is important.

Speed of development is even more important for businesses in this era who have to get to revenue faster.

And that’s why things like Phoenix LiveView and its counterparts in other languages is catching on so quickly.

People are getting fatigued with the latest flavor of the month JS framework.

But what do I know… I’m just a lowly “developer” working for crumbs. Never even finished a CS degree. Sigh.
Nature is quite clever. Powerful hormones are triggered in the female cycle that operate outside of the conscious mind. We are not rational creatures, especially when intoxicated.

It can ! We set the timeout lower as this got on HN to make sure it worked for everyone. Ran this document in backened directly and it worked. It is 1600 pages of text and it took about 3 mins, but it did produce a summary! To see what, check tomorrow as we lift the timeout restriction :)
The only reliable use case of crypto
In the game, if a barrel is above you on a platform, and it approaches the top of a ladder, if you move towards the ladder you can force it to come down the ladder. The logic is partly what makes the game so hard and frustrating, as most people obviously aren’t aware of this.
Thats not what modern frameworks are evolving to, though. Svelte doesn't have a "touch everything" approach like React. Interactions are compiled at build time and only the JS needed to change the specific things that aren't static is generated. There is no runtime.

With jQuery on the other hand you're bundling a whole bunch of stuff you probably don't need to do things modern vanilla JS is perfectly capable onlf. And you'll have to reinvent the wheel every time either way.

Sure, your simple approach is probably enough for small stores selling a few items, but it really doesn't scale to all of them. And it makes for a way better development experience to use a modern framework for all but the very simplest of interactions.
Sysinternals tools will show up the writes and what is causing them.

I've dug down and found random things doing dumb stuff in the past. Verbose logging turned on by default for some services, for example.
I find it does well with ebooks. I haven't tried with pdfs or videos. The quality of the AndiSearch summaries for the things I use every day like articles, Wikipedia and technical documentation is very good.

The Summarize button is on the search results, therefore you don't need to visit a separate site and paste in the url. Additionally, you already know when a summary is available as the button only shows when it is. It is new but already I feel that it changes how you use a search engine having this feature available right there on the results.

The Kagi one said 'No summary available at this moment, please try again later.' for many of the urls I tried.
