The coming technological singularity: How to survive in the post-human era [pdf]
A (timely) periodic revisit of Vernon Vinge's December 06, 1993 paper on the human implications of the progression towards achieving AI, IA, and the Singularity.

"The acceleration of technological progress has been the central feature of this century. I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater than human intelligence. There are several means by which science may achieve this breakthrough (and this is another reason for having confidence that the event will occur): (1) the development of computers that are 'awake' and superhumanly intelligent (to date, most controversy in the area of AI relates to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is 'yes, we can', then there is little doubt that beings more intelligent can be constructed shortly thereafter); (2) large computer networks (and their associated users) may 'wake up' as a superhumanly intelligent entity; (3) computer/human interfaces may become so intimate that users may reasonably be considered superhumanly intelligent; and (4) biological science may find ways to improve upon the natural human intellect. The first three possibilities depend in large part on improvements in computer hardware. Progress in computer hardware has followed an amazingly steady curve in the last few decades. Based largely on this trend, I believe that the creation of greater than human intelligence will occur during the next thirty years."
I dont see it making full stack apps from one command that arent your garden variety mickey mouse applications that nobody cares about.

I think for now it will allow people to do more with less, but will not really change things that much. Obviously this will change as the years go by, but for now I am honestly a bit disappointed by gpt4. I was expecting more.
It has to do with representations and quantum mechanics. The energy eigenvalues of the hydrogen atom are tied to L values of the spherical harmonics.
That is the case in the USA as well; the comment author was saying that maintaining friendship is considered an example of a received benefit in exchange for a tip. It's an arguable point, but does make some sense (plus arguing with the SEC is...hard!)

also, a side comment:

> But if, you hear rumors from multiple people in your network ...

I think this is pretty clearly not, in and of itself, evidence of insider trading, just an example of trading in a sector you follow closely.

However the first example in the article is one where the two companies had an alliance, and in that case a simple origin like "heard from various people in my network" would not help you. I have been part of an alliance of several large semiconductor manufacturers and ever meeting began with a reiteration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act criteria and what kinds of topics and conversations were forbidden.
For those who dont follow, or dont remember anything much about M$, Microsoft 365 is the replacement brand of Office 365.

Now an off topic question, the first photo is showing what I believe is Microsoft Word. But it doesn't have the Ribbon design. Did they finally drop the Ribbon or is that something else?

Edit: I think those are Web Application of the Office Apps just in Full Screen. But I still think they look much better than Ribbon.
We're also considering adding the bot to Gitter and Discourse but frankly just haven't had the time to build out those integrations yet! It just happened that some of the first companies we reached out to used Discord. One of them is a crypto company so you're right on the mark there.
Sounds like Reddit. Perhaps one could ask the same question of that and get to the same root cause?
Can someone explain why consideration is required?

What would be the negative repercussions of removing that requirement? It seems unnecessary to me.
That's only because the Netflix bean counters end up working like an AI in their ends. AI trains on known things and outputs something from that finite set. Netflix bean counters similarly bet on known things or derivative things and the output reflects that. The difference is, scripts for the unknown things still occasionally get produced in this later situation, which is exponentially more than can be said if 100% of our content came from AI.
I'm not sure how 'dependency resolution' would work in a system like Nix; since Nix has no notion of "package", "dependency", "version", etc.

> Searching through Nixpkgs commits to find compatible versions of things because you have to rely on the implicit versioning of the monorepo sucks.

I get what you're saying, but I gave up on thinking of Nix/Nixpkgs in terms of "package management". It's much closer to a build system, like GNU Make; rather than, say, APT/Yum.

When it comes to versions of things in Nixpkgs: most things are defined as a function of other things; i.e. the arguments to that function are (roughly) its "dependencies". If we want some different version, we can call those functions with different arguments (or use the various `override` helpers included in their return values). Once we've overridden the things we care about, we can usually take the fixed-point/closure of that package set (whether it's the whole of Nixpkgs, or just e.g. python3Packages, or whatever); that way, our changes get propagated through all of the function calls to ensure everything's referencing our versions. Admittedly, this can be quite tedious!
I'm talking about a mechanical typewriter, not an electric, what where you, rich? :)

backspace moved you back smoothly as you pressed harder and harder till you let go of it and it encountered the little ratchet thing and stuck there, one space back.

during the transition of smoothly moving back toward the ratchet, you could type another character anywhere on the way, and to catch the ratchet it actually had to move you back beyond one space.

Blue Origin failing to deliver on time is a big part of the reason ULA is floundering. ULA bet on Blue Origin being able to provide engines for the Vulcan Centaur in a timely manner, but what they got were years of delays.

And now that Bezos had his little joyride, he seems to have checked space off his bucket list and turned his attention towards yachting with his new wife, so I don't expect we'll see productive management reform in Blue Origin anytime soon.

The real space race is between SpaceX and China.
I think my point is people should just be quiet about things they know nothing about. 10% of tech is consumer tech and the other 90% of tech is the things that run daily life that people know nothing about. Think machine to machine communications, scheduling systems, fraud detection, facial recognition, infrastructure, manufacturing, etc… you can have a whole career in tech and never have to think about consumer markets. One of my first jobs in tech was writing programs to cut parts out of expensive materials so efficiently that waste was minimized as much as possible, saving so much money, getting fat bonuses.

If you hear the word tech and just think of websites, apps, social networks, ads, you have a very simple world view.

So yea, consumer tech sucks, but consumers also fucking suck, and get harder and harder to extract some kind of value from as time goes on.
> But the origin of what is the American reactionary movement is those Birchers.

The more straightforward explanation is that the reactionary movement in America is due to the anti-democratic means American liberals have used to achieve social change, which differs markedly from what is the case in other developed countries. For example, Germany and France don’t have as strong of a reactionary anti-abortion movement because they never had anything like Roe that overruled the public opinion on abortion.

In America over half the country still disagrees about the ban on school prayer, including apparently the democrat Mayor of New York City: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/new-york-playbook-pm/20.... Meanwhile in the UK, school prayer is still legally mandatory: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/nov/20/oxfordshir.... That law is adhered to more or less depending on the local community, and overall declining religiosity. But American liberals overruled public opinion on this more than 70 years ago.

If you repeatedly use the nuclear option to overcome political opposition you’re going to generate a reaction. You don’t need a Bircher conspiracy to explain what happened.

Benchmarking JavaScript Memoization Libraries
Hi everyone,

I recently developed an open source memoization library for JavaScript. I've extensively tested it and compared it against other popular memoization packages and in my benchmarks it outperforms existing packages.

What really surprised me was how the existing packages on npm had benchmarked their own performance - and some of them show impressive results for their package which did not have impressive results in my own benchmarking.

What I found was that many benchmark their memoization by feeding the memoized function with one and the same argument millions of times. To me that is not a realistic use case - you would just put the result of the function call in a variable.

My benchmarking strategy is to create a set of 1000 different arguments and have the memoized function return results for those arguments. So the first 1000 function calls would call the original expensive function - and all consecutive calls would hit the cache.

If you benchmark like this you get totally different results and some libraries that are very fast when the memoized function is called with one and the same argument get pretty slow to a point where it might be better to call the original expensive function.

How do you think should memoization be benchmarked and what are your use cases for memoization of pure functions?

You can find the benchmarking results on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sonic-memoize

You can find the benchmarking code here: https://github.com/Animus-Blue/sonic-memoize/blob/main/benchmark/index.ts

Thanks for your time!

Discord is huge. My experience is that it's way more important than Glitter or Slack for open source development. Even if the platform itself is closed and inaccessible.

I see it used in Rust, Gamedev, AI/ML (as you say), DevOps, JavaScript, ...
For London at least, better routing, more accurate timings, and also accurate updates on things like strikes. It used to be significantly better but Google Maps released an update a few years ago that makes the gap relatively small though, but it is still better.

It's also surprisingly useful to have two mapping apps on mobile devices which otherwise make it difficult to have two separate routes open at once.

I'm sure the issue there is designers believing they know better than power users how things should work, leading to the gradual evolution of software that is usable only by the lowest common denominator.

This happens to a lot of projects, it's a shame it's infested MS.
There are three ways to reliably make money in business. Be first, be smarter or cheat.

OpenAI is not significantly if at all smarter than Google, and you can`t really cheat in this situation so therefore it is easiest to be first.
I think all the big apps use live transit info now. That said, Citymapper actively surfaces that it's rerouting because of cancellations on XYZ train, which is very helpful information. I don't see Google or Apple Maps suggesting routes with cancelled trains either, but without that information front and center it can be confusing if it's not a regular route.

> First off, you want to keep both of the pair’s signals close to each other throughout their length. The closer the two signals are, the better external interference cancellation works, and the less noise they radiate (…)

Wrong! This is a myth that's stubbornly difficult to weed out. The coupling between the wires of a pair is only ~12% the amount of coupling to the reference plane.

On a PCB it's best to treat each signal on its own and route it as a single ended, coplanar waveguide surrounded by reference planes. This allows to use far thicker widths, which reduces inductance, which also reduces the coupling to radiating EM fields.

This is always what I think of when I hear about how the Meta side of things is going.

>As a result, there is still a lot of gray-market dealing going on to provide lower prices for those that accept the risk/inconvenience. And therefore with it, some amount of crime. So legalizing MJ did _not_ suddenly make everything above-board and peachy overnight like all of the legalization supporters had claimed it would.

Consequences of excessive taxes are not consequences of legalization.

The primary benefit of legalization is to reduce abuse by police and the judicial system. It is clearly just a tool for authorities to be able to hide behind plausible deniability if and when they want to exercise their power over others.
War is always bad, messy, and rarely "clean", but comparing the toppling of fascist nutjobs like the Taliban to a completely unwarranted invasion of Ukraine is borderline bad faith, as is blaming the US for the Yugoslav wars (guess they should have just let the Serbs genocide the Bosnians and Albanians) or going back 75 years to the Korean war. By that standard we should also hold Stalin's purges against Russia for all perpetuity, or Japan, Germany, and Italy for the second world war. These thing are just not the same thing at all.
I'd love to get your feedback (in Github discussions or issues, depending on your results), especially regarding the installation scripts. I somewhat tested them but did not take the time to start fresh and check if they actually take care of everything
If that was the only premise ("C-like performance, etc.") then I can understand. What I don't is that there seems to be no use case for which Rust isn't good. That is the part that bothers me.
They didn't fail the test yet.

They spent longer time than preferred.

And yes, they're looking for a shortcut.

There is no way around fulfilling the task.

Not revealing the time spent poses risk of impostor syndrome, risk of actually landing a very stressful job.

Refusing to solve the task indicates that they would rather post-pone finding out, and rather risk rejection if it means not being challenged on their solving speed disqualifying them, because they think that it too likely would disqualify them.

I agree, that's my biggest frustration with Citymapper. I wasn't aware Transit handled that better, I might have to give it another shot. But by "service changes," I was actually referring to trains being re-routed by the MTA -- like when the F was running on the E line in Manhattan a few weekends ago.
Sometimes shows naturally have a 1 or 2 season arc and sometimes (rarely) they go out strong at 6 or 7. But, yeah, for me sometime around season 5--even if a show has successfully mixed things up a bit--I find tuning in for new episodes more and more optional in most cases.

I don't know why you'd say that, for a lot of people, the birth of their first child changes their priorities very fundamentally, especially if they have the luxury of being able to do so. Like, for example, if they had sold their company to Amazon for a literal dump truck of money. I just calculated it, it went for about 11 tons of $100 bills (the capacity of a large dump truck is about 14 tons, apparently, 7 for some smaller ones).

I don't know Emmett, but if he was totally set in terms of wealth, and if the main thing keeping him there was because it was satisfying work, well, then he could quite reasonably decide that doing something less demanding so that he could have the spare time and energy to be a very good father to his child might be more satisfying. That's certainly the decision I'd make.
AI is going to eat the world. It's software + functional metahuristics, which enables it to automate an order of magnitude more than we ever have in the past. Any problem we can describe seems tractable in time.

Way to gloss over those streamers you're mentioning were streaming gambling.

Kick is a front for Stake the bitcoin casino, not a legitimate streaming site. It exists purely because Trainwrecks wanted to keep making money streaming bitcoin slots. It's been an utter shit show with people streaming porn, sex, the super bowl, incredible amounts of racism... Twitch absolutely is not going that direction with good reason.
that clue could be interpreted as "type a space going backward, wiping out what was there" because 0x20 SPC is an ascii character which is a blank, while "space" on a typewriter is an abstract relative concept, depending entirely where you very finely (but very hard to see) positioned the carriage and it's not guaranteed to be blank if you position it where there is some preexisting typewritten ink.

There are a thousand reasons why the US is having a hard time politically right now, and none of them have to do with immigration.

Do you have any more reasons for believing these things? Because if that's it, you're either willfully ignorant, or just very uninformed.

But then it uses "Basic" everywhere when it means "Basis", and I cannot see how that's intentional.

Yes, that's exactly the point. Heuristics is good until it is not. And any heuristics will eventually fail at high enough frequency...

With intuitive understanding you start seeing how various design choices affect the performance and you can focus on checking what might be the cause of the problem and fixing things that have biggest potential for improvement. It allows you to learn from your mistakes whereas with heuristics you feel like a dog that is being beaten by the owner but without any idea why.
