Oh, I’m really sorry about that, I didn’t know (my fault) mentioning we were on HN was against the rules. Calling that « vote manipulation » is quite exaggerated imho but I get it.

Ultimately I think I got carried away by the great community reception.

Anyway thanks for letting me know, I’ll avoid doing so next time.
A lot of the old software they host can be run in an emulator in your browser. I don't think there's much cause for concern in these cases.

Absolutely.

People who already pay professional artists will not stop paying them because of this.

This kind of products will create many entrants into the design space.

People who still haven't paid a designer/artist yet, many of whom weren’t ever going to- will form the stark majority of users of this product.

This is something very simple that many people refuse to understand.

The first Red Scare. Eugene Debs was imprisoned for opposing WW1.

But the US has only ever been in favour of free trade when it benefits them, they did similar things with tariffs against Japan in the late 1980s, have blown up the Nordstream pipelines, etc.
Thanks for sharing and good to hear that you're making it work!

The beauty of your success is that you are in advertising, and so you advertised yourself successfully enough to get word of mouth of referrals, and so you must be good!

How do you go about looking for clients that are interested in your services? Do you wait for them to come to you through word of mouth? How do you expose your availability and skillset?
Thanks for the interesting links - I'll check them out! We would need not just another CI but also another container platform because launching a docker container is also slow.

Irrespective of the CI, I believe all cached Docker layers will need to be downloaded onto the build machine before it can be rebuilt.

Still, I believe it is possible to build and deploy faster even with a "docker image only" design and it's something we are still looking at. The question is what is the lower bound here - would be hard to beat "sync a file to a warm container and run it". Pex gives us a pretty good lower bound that is also container platform agnostic.
Corporations, when first developed, took out large chunks of Asia before anyone could stop them. The main difference is that corporations have to be powered by people while an AI could theoretically work with complete independence.
the bump between 2017 and 2022 is mostly around the 75 yo slice. That's the beginning of baby boomer generation. Meaning this generation has been retired for more than 10 years now.

It's going to be 10 more rough years, until 2032, and then the shape stabilizes. Changing the age from 62 to 64 won't change anything to this generation impact on the system.

Now is the 2032 shape sustainable with the current retirement age ? that's another question, but it's not a matter of protecting against the baby boomer impact.
In a sane world this would be a moot point.

1) There should be a compulsory fee option offered by every copyright registration office for them to provide a license (and possibly reproduce a copy of the work).

2) Enforcement of availability to maintain copyright, without the availability of the work it should default, irrevocably, to public domain.

3) Reasonable coverage: At least in the US copyright is intended to promote the progress of science and 'useful arts' (skilled 'trades'/work). The scope should be extremely narrow, and maybe even eliminated since _publishing_ is now vastly cheaper than ever before.

4) Reasonable duration: Even ignoring the coverage aspect, the duration should reflect a useful lifetime of information and the evolution of ideas and culture. Today's world moves far faster than in ages past, and yet copyright's been abused as an extension of what should be _trade_ mark.

5) Trade Mark is the intended consumer protection mechanism. Brand names and likenesses associated with them are covered by Trade Mark. Use in a for profit context that represents that brand.

Nobody above was implying that race was a scientific concept (at least not in the way it is defined in the US). And most other countries generally only include ethnicity rather than race in their censuses. Which is even worse in that regard.

However statistical socio-economic differences between racial groups remain significant. While it’s obviously very imperfect, tracking those differences without including race in the census would be quite difficult.

It’s much older than the civil war though. Race was already included in the first census in 1790. Obviously counting white and ‘other’ people separately was important because people in the ‘other’ category almost never had full civil rights even if they were technically free.
I was in the "Alte Pinoteke" in Munich, Germany, on Sunday. It is a fabulous gallery full of huge and old master paintings.

There was a certain 4 frame series with each frame about 5m long by 3m high. Each was an architectural study of Rome with each being from a different view direction. What struck me was the text written below the paintings which indicated that the artist, after *3 years of work*, had been quoted that he was sick of the job and wished that the process would be now over. 3 years to produce 4 images so that some aristocrat could hang it on his wall and be reminded of his holiday adventure.

The distance between this state of the world, where to make a representation of reality (unreality) at the highest levels of fidelity would take years to achieve, versus what is now possible with digital cameras and AI image generation is staggering. Now anybody can create a Mona Lisa and have it hung in their own toilet to admire. Is this a bad thing that ordinary people have access to the tools to create content vs the old way where only the very very rich could afford to pay a master for three years to produce a few images?

I can only assume that the same arguments and complaints were raised at every stage a new technology was introduced that lowered the cost and time to produce "content".

Every time I hear this sentiment expressed I wonder about the speaker's familiarity with history and economics. The labor theory of value is almost a thousand years old and has been pretty thoroughly discredited for nearly the same amount of time. History is full of artisans who discovered just how much they overestimated the value of their skill only after someone came along and found a way to do the same thing more efficiently. I wonder how many tears were shed for the buggy whip craftsmen? The argument that this is different because this is art doesn't work either, because the endeavor's value is regularly quantified in USD - despite attempts to frame it as a non-commercial, almost spiritual, activity.

My favorite one:
The company I once worked for used an outdated version of sqlite (3.8.6) in one of their products. The databases used got bigger and bigger and in a very big project one of the "already known to be slow"-queries took more than an hour on my laptop making the tool unusable.
On a quiet day, I was able to save the temporary table used as part of the process and run the problematic query against it in an isolated fashion.

The query returned an extremely high number of results and when I discovered this I questioned my SQL-fu, my sanity and my trust in computers.

I found that we were hit by a bug that was fixed 6 years before I discovered it (https://sqlite.org/src/info/6f2222d550f5b0ee7ed). Sqlite's query planner assumed that a field with a not null constraint can never be null, which isn't the case for the right hand table in a left join.

I fixed it by adding a not null check in the query and then later by updating the library. After that the 1 hour query ran in ~700 ms.
Which is a good thing. So glad all that GPU compute is being used on cool stuff rather than running SHA-256 18 quintillion times
> creates a Markov chain based on that compression

I dislike that interpretation. It suggests it builds a very basic statistical model, but a very basic statistical model simply wouldn't be able to do what these models can do.

Or alternatively, if you want to consider the model as a markov chain mapping the probability from the previous four thousand tokens to the next token then the space is astronomically large. Beyond astronomically and even economically large, there are ~50,000^4096 possible input states.
Lol, all my best work has been when I don’t know what I’m doing and it’s refreshing to see someone moving the ball forward and feeling the same way. Kudos
A better alternative to the Raspberry Pi which is more suited for musical applications (and currently much cheaper) is the Daisy Seed by Electro-Smith[0]. You can program it in C++ / Pure Data / Arduino and Max/MSP Gen~. The community is very helpful and there are plenty of examples to start with. They also provide a few options to get started with some knobs/buttons. I'm not affiliated with them, just admire the whole ecosystem.

10 Questions for People Who Create Minds
What is a model of truth? And, do you have one yourself? Can you prove it? (*)

When you're talking about entirely physical objects (i.e. no concepts, no abstract ideas) yes, you definitely have a clear edge on a system that has only ever seen text; on the other hand, you can talk perfectly reasonably about a chair without the need of actually manipulating one while you talk: which means that most of your reasoning about a chair is done on abstract concepts and relationships.

* And, going meta: have you ever seen one or interacted with it with your senses or bodily appendages?
Author here. This is just a bit of technical discussion on the first bring-up and testing of a new design of force/torque sensor that utilises a Stewart platform geometry. The ultimate goal is that it'll become a fully functional SpaceMouse style device, which at the moment are really only available from one manufacturer due to many mergers and acquisitions and some heavy patent enforcement.

I've released the design open-source, so if anyone is interested in contributing, check out the GitHub repository. Let me know if there are any questions or feedback.
If Nazi Germany would have won the war, perception of pursued appeasement in Europe would have been completely different. History is written by the victors. Or to rephrase this in modern day language, there is an unconscious victor bias.

I actually like JSX a lot, but I'm baffled when people act like the very thin DSL used by svelte is any more unapproachable than JSX, or like JSX is somehow more javascript when it's a mish-mash of extended HTML (don't forget to use key as needed, and className), React components, and JS (expressions only, not statements... and weird-looking ones at that)

I think that's dubious, most people's motivations are only loosely coupled with the goal (if there really is one) of making the world a more efficient place. I guess that's what's good about capitalism, at least in the End of History sense[0]. Gets more people more aligned with general efficiency. Anyway, guess what's not efficient, at least in the standard economic sense? Stockpiling for a pandemic. Got to have a bit of a balance there.

One way to create scroll animation for Saas products websites is by using the tool called ScrollSequence. This tool allows you to easily add interactive animations and effects to your website as the user scrolls down the page. By using this tool, you can create engaging animations such as text fade-ins, image transitions, and even interactive charts and graphs. The key to creating effective scroll animations is to keep them simple and relevant to the content on the page, while also adding a touch of creativity and interactivity to enhance the user experience.

I think I may not have come across as intended.

I personally would go for tabs. That seems 'obvious' to me. The author went a different route and I'm interested in their reasoning.

As you say, it's a personal project they're giving away. My question was one of why they went in a particular direction, rather than saying that direction is wrong.
Well, you can't leave us hanging :-)

> If you think what I'm proposing is three lectures on philosophy of science than either you have zero idea how a PhD program works or you're arguing in bad faith.

Talking about three lectures was meant as a question of what you actually propose (you might say that's bad faith). However, I believe you will find many people who you can convince that this is an important problem and they will suggest the "lecture approach" in full seriousness. That's also what I would expect from administrators who can actually implement some change in response to the problem.

You still haven't said what measures you would actually endorse. I will try to guess a second time: Do you want to make each PhD student design their own experiment, perhaps with individual hands-off supervision to teach methodology? Either these experiments will be "toy experiments" to teach them methodology, or they would have to make a real contribution to science, in which case you would have to massively increase research budgets (or massively reduce numbers of PhD students) and add a LOT of non-PhD student researchers who do all the work for your newly made PhD-PI. In the latter case, these experiments might not actually deliver on their promise of generating much knowledge and, I believe, would prove an investment in the PhD's education at the cost of less scientific output.

You will not convince administrators making economic decisions to implement either of these, even if they agree with you about the urgency of the problem. I think it's quite instructive to think about why this is so. Which brings me back to my main claim: the important problem in modern science is the incentive structure, not the lack of scientific methodology knowledge in PhD students.

I assume GP wrote that in order to say that they have a high confidence that they never actually had a breakout.

You are technically correct. But your logic applies to everything. Is the isolation provided by VMs good enough? Is airgapping enough to prevent breakout?

There are many things that factor in when you decide what's reasonable. Some are first principle arguments (containers use the same kernel as the host, the kernel has a large surface area, ...). Others are statistical arguments: there have been past breakouts with this stack, it's thus reasonable to expect more in the future, ...
I regularly use an EV for several weeks/months at a time and I also own an ICE car. The EV is in no way less convenient. While it takes longer to charge "on the road," I (and most people) only rarely do road trips of a length that intermittent charging is necessary. When I do, the extra 20 minutes spent at a charger is no big deal, you just plan accordingly.

On the flip side, on most days it would be much more hassle to spend 10 minutes or so refueling my ICE car instead of just driving home, connecting my EV and let it charge overnight.

Granted, I have a property that allows the installation of a charger. But so do basically all suburban Americans, many people in cities and around the world. People that live so urban that owning their own charging infrastructure is impractical are probably better served with public transport, anyway.

This wall of text is worth reading. It's a clever, but somewhat clumsy introduction of the anti-religion, which in the future will be introduced properly by a far greater mind, and that anti-religion will burn society to the ground. The essense of the anti-religion will be encouraging cruelty and unrestrained sexual passions - the two things strictly banned today.

His "multilayered worlds" vision is more valuable, but he never had interest to explore that more.
Arguing that AI safety is needed only demonstrates that it's altruistic, but you have a lot farther to go if you want to say funding research in this decade can be effective.
At first I thought this was a Figma-like tool. I wonder if Microsoft could compete in that space, or is the UI/UX community to opinionated and outspoken to stop the classic enterprise argument?

Nice story. I've had something similar happen to myself. My computer generally worked well, the few times I tried to game though, it crashed after a while like clockwork. Turns out the fans on the PSU had died. Replaced it and never had those issues again.
I really only have familiarity with React-query, but I'd guess it's something like:

While of course React-query plugs into the React lifecycle, it's also kind of an escape hatch that plays nice with React.

Managing the fetch function calls, their state, their resolutions, and the cache, all probably happens outside of React, but then changes to any of the query state are reflected into the React lifecycle.

This probably lets him do something like using localstorage for storing cached query data, communicating between tabs, etc
Yes, there are actually implementations of most standard stuff in Ada and SPARK (so with some level of proof)

* https://github.com/Componolit/libsparkcrypto

Proof of constant-time execution is an interesting field, but as I understand very much less mature than the SPARK toolset. If anyone has a toolchain working over llvm to check and/or make code constant-time, I'm interested.

I mean, if the standards people want to keep writing C, they can probably use Frama-C for the standard implementation...

I had previously heard of EA, and knew about paperclip maximizers, trolley problems, unintended consequences, and other risks associated with unregulated AI. But I wasn't aware of the connections between the two communities / families of ideas until recently.

Because I don't consider myself sufficiently educated in these matters, I default to using GiveWell and their mosquito net recommendations as an effective low-effort approach to making monthly contributions to charity.

Overall, is there anything about this approach which is objectionable? How do philosophers go from something like GiveWell to something like fending off the AI apocalypse? Is this ideological expansion inevitable?
