Honestly just use what you know. Unless your goal with the project is to learn new things or to have fun, than go with what is most interesting for you. Or if you are in a larger team, then talk to your teammates and try to get a consensus around what you are most comfortable with collectively.

I only advice against using a niche framework if you suspect the project is gonna be long-lived and managed by a medium to a large team, in that case pick the one of the big ones—React, Angular, Vue, or Svelte—which your teammates can agree with.
Switching to pepsi is easier as it is a single dimensional change. Switching ISP will have a multitude of effects. Most unknown (how reliable is the new one? will they give me hidden extra charges? what are their TOS? are they blocking XYZ service I need down the road? do they spy on DNS traffic?)
and so on. Let alone a decent amount of time on the phone organising it and potentially some early exit penalties.

Does anyone know how are they taking wavelengths from an image or what exactly "long-wavelength features" means?

I googled "wavelength of images" it doesn't seem like I am going in the right direction because it's about finding the wavelength of light from images rather than "wavelength of features" that this blog is talking about.
>>Every AI safety researcher knows about the paper clip maximizer. Few seem to grasp the ways this subculture is mimicking that tunnel vision.

>Lol really?? You're comparing some bad PR incidents to the literal unintentional destruction of life on Earth

Your reply is a perfect example of the blind spot the quote from the article is referring to.

"some bad PR incidents" being sexual harassment and assault, facilitated by the in-group doctrine, and the Paperclip Optimizer being a central tenet of the in-group, while for the real world it's a quaint and somewhat interesting hypothetical about a far off future.

So we have real, actual harm hand-waved away by reference to a hypothetical.
This is an example of the slippery slope fallacy. In this case, the outcome is being wildly exaggerated for the purpose of inducing fear. The citation is a work of fiction.

Which ISP does that? My subtext is that ISPs don't block things like this, because even though they have regional monopolies in small markets, they make a large fraction of their profits in large markets where they have to compete.
I've always wondered about suing the government for raising the retirement age. They're changing the deal we agreed to, without my consent. If I had known the full extent of the altered deal (i.e. no retirement till 69), I would have made different decisions from the start.

If I have a 20 year mortgage with the bank I can't just change the terms so that the deal suits me better. Why can the government do that with my retirement age, with zero repercussions?

For cars, the charging part is inconvenient and there's still not enough infrastructure. So maybe combine a 20 kW battery with a hydrogen fuel cell rather than use superchargers. All charging stations are busy? Fine, get a refill of H2 and go.
There's probably some middle ground between "bank-scale KYC" and "people don't steal credit card numbers, do they?". You really think their current process can't be improved on? With all of their billions, their PhDs, their regulatory capture, finding a way to let in most of the real advertisers while keeping out the scammers isn't just too expensive, it's literally impossible? Despite the fact that they have a near monopoly and the legitimate advertisers will jump through almost any hoop imaginable?
They tend to be repairable as well. I had to recap the power supply last year in my Brother HL-5250DN which is probably nearing the age where it's able to legally drive in the US, and after the output voltages were right again it fired right up and has been working great since.
It was supposed to be a flawed protagonist.
I lean more toward the libertarian/conservative part of the political spectrum, but net neutrality is an issue where the conservatives/republicans got it wrong. Somehow they felt that it was analogous to the "equal time doctrine", which it never has been. In some ways companies such as CloudFlare have solved part of the problem, but issues such as the anti-competitive throttling of competing services by ISPs still need to be addressed. We also still have the problem of media monopolies often being the only available consumer "Internet" service providers, but the "Internet" they provide is often highly monitored, filtered, and shaped.
AI safety is an apocalypse cult and we should recognize that everyone who has ever been in an apocalypse cult thinks that "no, this time it's really the end of the world". Everyone who believes crazy shit thinks they're being reasonable, so just because we're super sure we're being reasonable doesn't mean what we believe isn't crazy.

Do we believe that we alone, of all people who have believed in the coming end, have it right this time?

To play devil's advocate, it would very easy to create custom rooms in which a detainee is held in a room against a paper wall (with their locked device on the other side of the paper wall). The orientation of their seating arrangement could be such that it always places the detainees watch closest to the device.

I'd submit that this is actually the universal philosophy of every cult that's ever existed, rationalism included. Suspension of belief because of some special property, maybe the argument is that the leader is actually god, or simply free from status concerns thus a better and clearer thinker.
I saw a PM during a large company meeting Q&A eagerly talking about how we're not leveraging our existing customers enough to sell more products and how we should have advertisements in product A for (largely unrelated) product B because we have a large enough user base. The VP's face lit up and our product has ads now :(

The PM got a promotion - I bet some metrics moved enough to "show impact", but no one asked themselves what the long term effect will be (the PM since moved off to another team to continue innovating). This made me angry and sad, but most of my peers didn't care at all, and some even expressed interest to "work on the high impact feature" to get a promo for themselves as well :(
My weirdest was a server that would randomly stop responding to traffic. Debugging for multiple days (including full factory resets) only to figure out that the clip had broken and would disconnect occasionally depending on air flow through the rack.

I agree that selecting an embryo will become inexpensive.

However, the game will be to select the "best" embryo. This becomes a game of numbers where, on average, the quality of the embryo will be a function of the size the pool of embryos and this will be a function of how much the future parents spend.

So it makes it not impossible for a new manufacturer to incorporate interface electronics with a core from an experienced manufacturer. The most difficult part might not be the engineering, but getting one of the old line print companies to do business at some reasonable cost with a smaller startup company.

I’m not quite sure what they expect? Do they want the government to just print money for them until they die? And will they have to keep doing that for every successive generation?

If people get older on average, and there’s less young people to take care of them (pension wise), then the old people will have to work longer. It’s not a hard equation.

> it is literally in the founding documents of Pakistan.

Have you looked into any of the other examples I cited in the last several comments I made? Why do you keep circling back to Pakistan and religion when I literally just told you that there are many other reasons why conflicts exist. For an ethnic Tamil living in the Tamil Nadu state in India, Pakistan isn't even relevant to them. They definitely would be more focused on what's happening in their state and Sri Lanka. Similarly, someone living in the Uttar Pradesh state wouldn't really be following what happens in Sri Lanka.

I'm looking at this from a more holistic point of view and trying to show that there are multiple factors beyond religion. I said religion is one of the reasons, but I didn't say it was the sole reason or primary one. This is referring to many examples of political entities and artificial devisions between them in general. You're not really using the most charitable interpretation of what I'm stating when responding.
> An ISP grows a large user base by doing aggressive price competition, then starts shaking down services, rate limiting their traffic if they don't pay up.

Yeah, we’ve already seen this in the Comcast/Netflix debacle and Deutche Telekom vs the world. In fact a lot of large incumbents do this.

> Meanwhile they use some of the shakedown money to lower prices and get more users.

If things were even so rosy. The shakedown money is used for larger profits and monopoly positions to get more users.

Such a big thread of people complaining that their bluetooth headphones connect to the wrong device or not at all and how you could use third-party software to (maybe) fix it.

And then there's me who still uses headphones with cables. I plug the cable into the device, it plays from this device, never fails. I also never need to charge my headphone. I still don't understand why anyone would voluntarily replace cables with wireless when it's such a worse use experience.

This is not to say they aren’t highly intelligent, but that intelligence is not at all influenced by any kind of empathy whatsoever. They can, if required, perform a perfectly serviceable simulacrum of a reasonable person, for short periods of time, but they fact they believe they are the smartest people in any room, coupled with the fact they don’t believe they are subject to the rules (moral, ethical or even legal) that the rest of us are, means any such simulacrum will be short lived and they revel in revealing themselves, caring not one iota how they are perceived by others. They are not part of society. They believe they sit outside of it.

Hmm, sounds like forbidding pensions would fix that (make older people rely on their kids).

Cheap labor is no more, especially in the age of highly specialized jobs requiring education (manual labor is greatly automated now, especially in agriculture, compared to 100 years ago).

How else would we incentivise it? Money payouts on birth don't work -- only poor people would make good use of it, middle class would see the payouts too small for them anyway.

> My understanding at this point is that, firstly, instances that do not federate with these, and those cheap “CP” accusations, has no relevance in this discussion, because nothing comes out of those.

It is totally relevant since not only you just mentioned both of those instances, but they also have over a million users there which CP and loli culture is pervasive on those instances and hiding the problem under the rug only makes Mastodon a far worse place, given that the majority of those instances is full of that CP content which is completely illegal in lots of countries and is hardly appealing to normal users.

> Secondly, it seems completely plausible to me at this time, that a central Mastodon instance will become the core of a Western European social media landscape...

Right, eventually defeating the whole point of federation with more re-centralization and co-ordinated instance-level banning and you advocating a centralized government controlled social networks being much better. What could possibly go wrong? /s

> Such violent responses that you have expressed against the names of .jp and Pawoo is plausibly an indication of those developments.

What "violent responses"? The basic facts about Mastodon may indeed hurt, but you advertising those two instances that have over a million users using it for loli and illegal CP content doesn't put Mastodon in a good light and makes it completely unsuitable as a 'direct substitute' to Twitter.

What I'm surprised to not see here is no mention of firmware updates. The Fairphones still use Qualcomm SoCs which only receive 2Y firmware updates.

I wonder how they get code to "Qualcomm closed-source components".

That means only the software side would be receiving the 7 years. Seems I'm not the only one who has wondered that https://twitter.com/DanielMicay/status/1444035302822223872

tbh, seems like false marketing, Samsung and Apple support their SoC firmware for that full support period.

For 50 years of operation your solar plant would have had all it's panels replaced at least once and your batteries would have probably been replaced 5 times, if using todays' technology.

Solar only appears cheaper if you removed every external cost from it.
Your first thought is completely right.

Your second thought sounds like a good idea. Let's have another competitor (government) funded by private entities via debt equity (bonds) which is paid back by customer receipts (profits) where failure equals unemployment. Actually, this is starting to sound like a business, but with more steps and the power to pass laws affecting its own operating environment. What's the advantage to having the government be the competitor?
I did exactly that and provided a link to a source in an earlier comment.

I wanted to be a translator at one time. I've had Intro to Linguistics as a college class.

I genuinely have zero problem with people wanting to use the term passive house to refer to a distinct set of building techniques and passive solar to refer to a different set of building techniques. Living languages evolve. It's a known phenomenon.

And, yet, so far no one has suggested to me a better umbrella term than passive solar design.

I defined the term thusly in one of my comments here:

Passive solar design is about creating a home which needs little energy to stay at a comfortable temperature.

My best understanding of life, the universe and everything is that without energy from the sun, earth would be extremely cold. And also wind energy is a form of solar energy which arises from air movement caused by temperature differences.

So to my mind, any technique that tries to keep a home a comfortable temp using sunlight to warm it and air flow to cool it with a minimum of electricity, oil, and other energy sources is using passive solar. It's trying to primarily use energy from the sun in a passive fashion by means of elegant design suited to the local climate conditions.

I guess I need to start defining my terms up front on HN for this topic because I do understand why people want to make this distinction in building techniques, yet I still need an umbrella term for this and I don't currently know of a superior umbrella term to the one I'm currently using.
I mean, maybe deep fakes are _better_ at sowing distrust of information than other forms of propaganda but it seems disingenuous to treat it completly differently.

Caring about one thing substitutes for caring about other things. Shocking.

Most charitable foundation on the left and the right may focus on one problem but make nods to it's connections to others. I know a lot of lesswrong people acknowledge climate change is real and Covid is a problem but raise the point that "this is so important we have to ignore other potential problems" but by doing this they alien those who might care about their important problem.

It's funny 'cause Eliezer and other have realized that the way corporations go about things means they won't care about safety here, just as they don't about safety anywhere else (say East Palestine). Yet these people have burned all bridges with those who are generally concerned about corporate behavior.

(I'm personally not as concerned only because I'd see AGI as further than they imagine but if GPT-X could unsafe, then Eliezer's correct you might as well dig a hole somewhere).
The character's author-insert aspects are self-parody.
This seems a bit too cynical of a take to match what I've seen. I see mainly two distinct "AI can be dangerous" camps: the EA-adjacent camp centered around LessWrong and Eliezer Yudkowsky, and the anti-generative-art camp worried about the threat to artists' livelihoods. The latter seems to be the closest to wanting an outright ban on the technology despite not being anywhere near the capitalist class. The former seems to take the stance that "we NEED a plan, and no one seems to have one that plausibly works", and is calling for more research into such plans rather than stopping the technology itself (partly because they see stopping it as an impossible feat). It hardly seems like they're doing this out of fear of anything but actual catastrophe.

This was a public example:

But another issue is that if it isn't banned, it can happen in private. The ISP doesn't need to actually throttle the target's traffic if it can credibly threaten to and force them into a contract with an NDA, and they have the incentive to require that when their demands are unpopular, so we have no way to know how widespread it is.

> But ISPs obviously do have competition.

This is absolutely untrue about 70+ million people in the US[1].

It's also functionally untrue for most of us who have a choice between 1-3 large companies. I live in a major US city, and my options are Comcast or AT&T. We don't even have Starlink yet.

When 3-4 companies control nearly 100% of the market, there isn't any real choice. It's easy for them all to just be terrible.
