I don't know, maybe I am one of those "superstitious peasants from the dark ages who fear new tools", but I'm increasingly terrified of GPT-4 and future iterations of it as applied to the industry I work with (i.e. software). It does seem to threaten to suddenly eliminate all the interesting parts of the job, a good chunk of openings, and to significantly reduce salaries for the openings that remain - all at the same time, and rather suddenly.

In an interview, Jacob Ziv said that it was the uncomputability of Kolmogorov complexity that forced him to think about a different way to define the complexity of a single finite string : this is what led to Lempel-Ziv complexity in 1976, and its famous consequences, the LZ77 and the ZL78 compressors.

Push Notification has its own use case, a user who wants instant stock updates and don't want to install a whole big native app for just this, can simply accept notification from a PWA and starts getting customized notifications. No need to install the PWA itself, juts subscription to notification is required.

Regarding push service and its usage for spams, the user has full control to stop those notification any instance. Personally PWA seems to me as the greatest thing that has come out of web, which gives full control in user's hand. User can very easily see what data an app collects and control what data user wants to share.
Why would you need to add a level shifter. Almost every single i2c or SPI component I've used works just fine with the ESPs 3.3v or is 3.3v to 5v compatible.
Dude - I work in real estate, I know exactly what I’m talking about. I can take you to housing developments in my area built maybe 25 years ago that are falling the fuck apart. Hell - my ex-wife lives in a rental house less than ten years old that already needs real work. Are standards for electrical, insulation, etc higher? Absolutely yes. But don’t you go telling me I don’t know what I’m talking asking about, especially when you are misconstruing what I wrote.

I try to keep my books pristine and even try to fix damaged elements of them because they’re so precious, not because they’re jewels. I don’t open the spines to their cracking point, or bend a page, or write in them, or get their covers all fingerprinty because I value the book and want it to last a long time. To treat it poorly by doing all the things the author claims are nearly essential is to degrade the life of the book and rid me of its pleasures sooner than I’d like.
It is also sad that every other specie has already suffered before humans are starting to feel this way. There was massive biodiversity loss on this planet and most of mammalian biomass consists of humans and animals that feed humans. Humans need to retreat. We have enough tools and people improving human lives. We now need more people and tools to improve many other lives and systems on this planet.
I've done much the same, though the books that have been most important to me over the years I have hardbound copies of. But I don't have enough room in my apartment for all the books I own, and have read. Kindle and related devices have effectively infinite capacity.
Your analysis is valid as long as one of the following are true:

1) We learn to bend light around the surface of the earth (otherwise relays are needed, which add significant delay).

2) hypersonic missiles are required to a) go into LEO and b) go all the way around the earth to benefit from a quarter second head start

I still think military warning applications are much more likely than someone trying to do HFT on the NYSE from Australia. But, like I said from the beginning. Neither are feasible because they need a super collider and a massive tank detector.
Every field is based on trust, so I don't see why you emphasize that.

Once again, if as a manager, you are happy with your employee's output and feel that their compensation is fair; why would the knowledge that they could have done more change that? It was fair before. Why should the worker do more to earn their salary?

Junior software developers will still have careers, they'll just have to learn a slightly different skillset that involves more reviewing of code, like a senior developer already does.

Before sometime hits merge, they need to understand if the code meets all requirements, and it doesn't really matter who or what wrote the code in the PR.

> cache invalidation when something changes, and much more overall complexity

With Rails this style of caching is built into the framework, it's not too bad. It can be applied to other frameworks too because most of the "magic" is how the cache key is composed. Lots of frameworks have the bits and pieces to pull it off.

Here's a snippet from the Rails docs on caching[0]:

<% @products.each do |product| %>
<% cache product do %>
<%= render product %>
<% end %>
<% end %>

That will automatically produce cache keys that look like this:

views/products/index:bea67108094918eeba42cd4a6e786901/products/1

The key is scoped to the view responsible for rendering the snippet of HTML and each product. If any attribute of that product changes that would result in different HTML being produced then the cache will be busted automatically by Rails because that hash in the middle of the cache key will be different. You can also "help" Rails when it comes to associations by adding a `touch: true` argument to your relationship once at the model level so Rails knows to bust the cache if the association's attributes change.

Like everything with caching, it's not 100% bullet proof and perfect but if you know the rules of how the framework works you can solve 95% of your caching needs without much headache. For the other 5% you have options but you can keep them on a need to know basis and look them up when you encounter issues (you may never need them in the end).

The thing in question is a stance on military policy, not a probability estimate. You can't go from probability estimate ("I think it is most likely that we will have the same borders as before the invasion") to policy stance ("I will not accept peace until we have the same borders as before the invasion").

That is such a hilarious oversimplification and overstatement of the “sages from antiquity” that I can only respond that you should go and actually read some of them. The balance and give and take will be surprising and a good use of your time.

I love Rust but I have to agree installing rustup like that feels like a crime to my machine. For some time I would only install rustup when inside an air-tight virtual machine since I can't really bother to read the sh script every single time I'm going to download it.

It's 2023, we have package managers, we have packages, we have containers, why are we still shipping software like this? Even worse is the fact that you can generally find Rust in your package manager of choice but it will often be outdated and you won't be able to choose your versions the same you would with rustup.

I don't know, I'm not sure I have a solution, but I just wish maintainers would put a little more effort into trying to support package managers as the de-facto way to set up a tool chain such as Rust. Even if you want to keep the meta-package manager such as nvm or rustup, at least let me download _them_ from my distros repositories instead of running a random sh script from the internet.

At the time of Soviet Union's collapse, 70-80%+ of all housing stock belonged to the government. New independent countries privatized it all as fast as they could for peanuts (could get an apartment for the price of a Sony VCR), because their condition was horrible and there was no money for repairs in state budget.
>only support sequential writes to new objects.

"Doesn't supports writes in the first release" is a letdown, but the latter part above seems expected. I suppose you could abstract what would have to happen to fake arbitrary seek() and overwriting portions of a file, appending, etc, but it would encourage things that wouldn't work well.
It all seems to be predicated on the argument that many users will not understand that they're not dealing with a sentient entity, and that this can have negative results. In the OP this is most clearly summarized in this paragraph:

> Human beings have historically tended to anthropomorphize natural phenomena, animals and deities. But anthropomorphizing software is not harmless. In 1966 Joseph Weizenbaum created ELIZA, a pioneer chatbot designed to imitate a therapist, but ended up regretting it after seeing many users take it seriously, even after Weizenbaum explained to them how it worked. The fictitious “I” has been persistent throughout our cultural artifacts. Stanley’s Kubrick HAL 9000 (“2001: A Space Odyssey”) and Spike Jonze’s Samantha (“Her”) point at two lessons that developers don’t seem to have taken to heart: first, that the bias towards anthropomorphization is so strong to seem irresistible; and second, that if we lean into it instead of adopting safeguards, it leads to outcomes ranging from the depressing to the catastrophic.

I think it's true there are some potential problems here, but it's not clear that banning AI's use of "I" is really going to make much difference. People will still be getting authoritative-seeming responses from AIs, and are probably still going to anthropomorphize them anyway, if they're that way inclined. This kind of thing is perhaps better dealt with by education, public awareness campaigns, etc.
Chess, like any other highly competitive international sport has a lot of drama.

One of the big problems with it is that white is heavily advantaged, there's a large incentive for incumbents to play for a draw, and playing back-to-back matches is incredibly exhausting. Any attempts at correcting for this can result in an unfair set of rules for someone.
Same with mashing, soaking, juicing, extruding, dissolving, cutting, slicing, etc.

> There are already SQLite clustering technologies that utilize WAL frame shipping in order to replicate data.

Would you be ok to point out ones that do this? Searching online isn't showing up anything mentioning WAL frame shipping for SQLite. :(

Was thinking about exactly this scenario a few days ago, as I have a potential use for it. :)
This is completely unsurprising.

I worked for a company like this as well. It’s easy to ignore investors when you’ve had an upward trajectory year after year. They’ll put up with almost anything when the stock price keeps going up.

But as soon as your growth slows or stops, reality hits like a ton of bricks.

Investors have lots of place to put their money. If Amazon cant deliver what these investors want, they’ll put their money elsewhere.

Amazon is free to ignore them, they’ll just have to deal with the consequences of that.

I mean, as an employee, would you stick around for less compensation? No, most people would find a better paying job.

> China is facing a burgeoning obesity crisis.

surely not due to rice consumption, though?

> As a country, we still remember all the horrible crap that was built in the 1950's and 60's

Nonsense. As a country, Americans know practically nothing about our history at all. Furthermore, Americans know practically nothing about the alternatives that exist elsewhere. This is glaringly obvious to virtually everyone who interacts with even small aggregate samples of average Americans. I wish you were right, but I'm afraid your thesis just falls flat on its' face.

I will gladly get in line to trash talk American post-war urban development, but even if average Americans shared our disposition, it's pretty naive to think average Americans' opinions would have any meaningful influence politically.
I was going to add a section about how the Hanzi script is the only other script which is actually able to carry information that Roman can't, which is why Roman script dominates everywhere but China and will probably become the default system of writing everywhere in the world aside from China. You can disagree w/ me, but if it was so awkward to use then you couldn't force people to adopt it on mass, the fact is that its so versatile that it really can be adapted to nearly any language.
The meaning of words change over time. Sometimes this means words that weren't too derogatory in the past become known as heinous insults in the modern day.

I don't think these authors meant to be insulting and evoke bitter feelings in their readers. So this change better aligns the story with it's original intent so the mere
mention of a word doesn't obscure everything else.
Interesting observation: the countries in which traditionally the most amount of rice is consumed are not the ones facing the biggest problems with obesity.
> And there's now a lot of evidence that social media and smartphones are the cause of the crisis

There's one pesky problem with that assertion: social media isn't a pill. It's not a chemical in the water, or a bacterial infection. It's not a binary switch. Social media is content. Social media is interaction. To treat such a thing as a scalar value is to have meaningless data.

What are the implications of removing a child's access to social media? Does it keep them from getting bullied? Does it keep them from obsessing over their looks? Does it stop them from hearing criticism about their parent's religion? All of the above. Every one of these is a strong contributor to the mental health of children.

By insulating children from their peers, you can avoid a lot of damage: damage that has become significantly more available and engaging than ever before.

By insulating children from their peers, you can avoid a lot of growth: growth that has become significantly more available and engaging than ever before.

This strategy is not a solution: it's a workaround. You get the pros and the cons in equal measure. Surely we can find a better way.

---

The obvious problem with social media - that is actually specific to it - is engagement. That applies much more broadly to our society than the mental health of children. It applies to our political divide. It applies to our economy. It applies to every human relationship that it can.

What children - and the rest of us - really need is a viable alternative. Something that their peers will follow them to. Without that, there is no solution: only avoidance.

That depends on what the good things are that are coming and what the things are that are going away.

And it also depends on the bad things that are coming, and what new things are going to come.

You are making an ethical argument based on utility, those two are not the best in combinations like that, the ethical argument should be made on an ethical foundation, not on the temporary outcome.

It's interesting how one of the most obvious problem spaces, the one of ethical reasoning is one that is least amendable to pure logic without adding a very large dose of humanity.

Example: killing is bad. But killing to save someone from endless misery (called Euthanasia) can be a good thing. But it still requires - where I live - two doctors to come to the conclusion that someone is beyond medical help and suffering needlessly. And then there needs to be a clear declaration on the capability of the person making the request that they are able to make such a request in the first place.

Ethics isn't simple, even in 'simple' cases.
Sure, give the machines empirical feedback devices (sensors) and they will become scientists.

(The thought also occurs: What happens when humans spend time in a sensory deprivation tank? They start to hallucinate. Food for thought.)

As Schmidhuber says, the goal is to "to build [an artificial scientist], then retire".
Honestly learning mandarin is not as difficult as you might think. There's a lot of structure and rules that allow you to "memorize thousands of signs".

Of course it requires work, it's a language that's very different from English.

Also, the ROI (in terms of new potential conversation partners) is probably larger for mandarin than for any other language just because of its sheer size and non-overlap with English speakers.

If you had a bioidentical braindead clone (ie. from a body farm), you could harvest it for new parts. You could replace failing organs, rejuvenate youth, and (with the technology to do so) perform a full head transplant to rid yourself of all cancers, cardiovascular damage, pulmonary damage, and other age-related injuries. You get a fresh immune system to boot.

Because it's bio-identical (ABO/Rh/HLA), no immunosuppressant is necessary and you can continue about a normal life.

Regenerative cloning should absolutely be a thing.
Well how about no?
No, as the "Ghoti" examples shows, contextual rules actually create infinite possibilities of phonological representations in the English script which is only exceeded by the IPA itself, since there are some edge cases, like "read" and "tear", where there is some confusion that wouldn't be clarified otherwise.

I think the most tragic part about NPR's decline is that they veered so far into activism, they often don't bother presenting the other side of contentious issues. As another commenter pointed out, NPR covered a variety of perspectives on the American War on Terror. That seems to happen less often nowadays.
I pay my employees 30% above market rate. I know that because I negotiate their salary to hire them, then 6 months later I add 30%. I also care deeply about then finding a girlfriend, a house, a motorbike or anything that’s good for them and that they say they want, and I’m happy when they do.

I also have to tell, honestly, they give me shit. They act like “Yeah we don’t care that your business survives, it’s your job to make your company earn money. At worst we’ll find a job elsewhere.” I’m constantly tempted to fire them before they tank my company.
