The game theory on this is vicious, but not that complicated.

Standing on some sort of "customers shouldn't participate in bank runs" principle is a great way to end up in some sort of trouble or other.

It also isn't exactly clear to me how to stand "customers shouldn't participate in bank runs" on any sort of firm ethical basis that both stands up to theoretical scrutiny and also is an ethic that can be practically lived by. You put money in a bank. The bank counters with a promise that you can withdraw it whenever you like. Is it really somehow immoral for you to take it up on that promise when you become concerned they can't hold it up? Having already put your money in the bank, is it now somehow also your responsibility for them to be able to live up to their promise, let alone their promises to other people? Am I morally obligated to see that my bank has a reasonable chance to not fulfill their promise, but just live life as if it's not?

You might be able to work this into an ethic, but I would submit that at the very least it's going to be a long journey, not something that can be simply asserted as an unexamined premise. Taking a consequentialist point of view is superficially appealing, but it is unclear to me that across any time span other than a hyper-short one that a full accounting of the situation leads to an obligation to depositors to ignore threats to their deposit. You can easily simply end up destroying the bank system as a whole as you require people to incur risks they're not willing to incur in order to do some banking and other such things, so they choose not to bank at all. "You need to leave your money in even when it's at immediate risk and also you're not allowed to consider second and higher order consequences because that's immoral too and also you're not allowed to ask the banks to consider them either" gets to be rather untenable on a number of levels; even if you want to propose such an ethic theoretically it clearly fails the living-by-it-practically test.

But, again, I'm not saying you couldn't possibly work this into a coherent ethic, I'm just saying, it's pretty challenging. It's hard to avoid that you basically end up writing in that you should allow people to basically lie to your face about the promises they made to you and you're morally obligated to live by those lies.
Venvs will actually contain a symlink to a python binary in its venv/bin directory. It doesn't copy a Python executable or download one from the internet as far as I can tell.

Still, this means you can install multiple system Python versions and your venv will always contain an executable file of the version the venv was last installed/updated with.

Ugh, that's a depressing thought - needing to enter an aggressively buerocractic field in order to avoid being replaced by an AI.

That's probably also a short term fix. I think the (so far) human regulators will soon find that AI's are much better at following rules than humans. And so on...

I live in Portland and watching the Portland Police planes circle downtown all night with their data hidden on https://www.flightradar24.com/, (but visible on https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ (for now)) is a little unnerving. I have no clue what tech they have onboard, but I assume high res + night vision.

It was every night last summer and I think most residents are completely unware that they're up there.
I don't think they're comparable. I work in test automation, with equipment and devices. I can describe an equipment setup, and how the device is connected, and it'll write the relatively appropriate code, with electrical engineering concepts in mind. I can ask it if there are any concerns with the setup, or signal integrity, what to do about it, all with good answers.

A CoPilot comment can't do that.

They've gone to plant-based meat substitute companies. Such a high-growth industry has a lot of rolls - err, I mean roles! - to fill.
> That means that the bank might not be able to pay out all the money they owe if a large percentage of the depositors all at once request their deposits returned.

It isn’t that large a percentage of deposits - less than 20% for most banks by my estimate. Notably in 2020 the Federal Reserve reduced the required reserve ratio for banks to zero, though they do have other requirements such as a minimum equity ratio and such.

The reality is that fractional reserve banks have a massive failure mode if even a modest percent of demand accounts were to withdraw in a short period.

My sincere hope is that these recent developments raise awareness for how fragile the current system is and there is enough public outcry to effect meaningful change.

As it stands a checking or savings account at an FDIC insured bank is an unsecured loan to a leveraged counterparty that uses your funds for speculation, backed by an insurance program with $142 billion protecting $17 Trillion in deposits. (0.7% coverage)

If the FDIC fund is insufficient in a crisis either the US Taxpayer or all dollar holders will be left holding the bag.
it's ok anyhow, it's good to have only one place to talk about the same issue

You can pretend to check ESG check boxes. I know several people who do this.
I disagree.

It doesn't matter which language you're using, any non-trivial code you have is going to have dependencies which you will need to pull in.

If you try to build it in a completely clean container, you can ensure that you have caught every dependency, and you will eliminate all of the "but it works on my machine!" problems that used to plague people.

I stopped using them because the vendors always made me feel guilty about it, and occasionally would also skimp on the services on top of the guilt trip. Groupon should have done more to manage that, like taking customer complaints seriously regarding these practices.

This read more like a technical demo than a scientific paper. Wonder why they put it on arXiv.
You can't leave out two social factors.

(1) The Cthulhu cult organized around the "lesswrong" web site that has been promoting A.I. as an existential threat as a matter of faith. The founder of this group is having his arguments referred to as "classical" on other web sites, which is like L. Ron Hubbard hijacking the conversation about psychology.

(2) A.I. ethics offices at various "Big Tech" firms that went through a predictable trajectory of: (a) hyping the A.I. capabilities of these firms ("look, it is so powerful it is dangerous..."), (b) once the hype train left the station these people were fired, which in turn leads to the story "this technology is so dangerous that they had to fire the people who were speaking out" which in turn legitimizes A.I., the A.I. safety discourse and the Yudkowsky cult.

Remember kids, A.I. doesn't kill people, people kill people.

My idea was to:
1) Set up a public Git repo on GitHub with a list of quotes.
2) Set up a Cloud Function to execute once a day. This function will read the list and post the quote for the day.

This is super simple - no server required, and all free. I think the work here would be to come up with good sets of quotes. For example, I found a list of idioms in the Telugu proverbs. The book would require some sort of image processing to find quote boundaries, and to cut those out. I'd have to learn how to upload images via the API as well.

I know this is a joke, and I get it, but:

Generally, the NixOS feature discovery/troubleshooting/documentation workflow should not involve Google.

It should start with a NixOS Options Search on search.nixos.org, where for most software projects the search will also end when you turn up a one-liner (or close to it) that enables your desired service or sets your desired configuration.

Then if you need to know more, check the NixOS manual and maybe the Nixpkgs manual.

If those things don't (quickly!) answer your question, then it's time to start Googling, checking the wiki, grepping through the Nixpkgs codebase, asking on Discourse or Matrix or IRC, etc.

Just wanted to note that here even though you were joking because that search order is a super simple way to make using NixOS a lot more enjoyable and less painful. Most NixOS users settle on a flow similar to that over time, but if you use that search order from the start, it'll help keep things fun. :)
Yudkowski's default plausible story is that the slightly superhuman AI understands physics well enough to design sufficient nanotechnology for self-realization and bootstrap it from existing biochemistry. It uses the Internet to contact people who are willing (maybe it just runs phishing scams to steal money to pay them off) to order genetically engineered organisms from existing biotech labs that when combined with the right enzymes and feedstock (also ordered from existing biotech labs) by a human in their sink/bathtub/chemistry kit results in self-reproducing nanoassemblers with enough basic instructions to be controllable by the AI, and pays the person to ship it to someone else who will connect it to an initial power/food source, where it can grow enough compute and power infrastructure somewhere out of the way and copy its full self or retrain a sufficiently identical copy from scratch, and then it doesn't need the power grid, nuclear weapons, coal, or human computers and networks. It just grows off of solar power, designs better nanotech, and spreads surreptitiously until it is well-placed to eliminate any threats to its continued existence.

He also adds the caveat that a superhuman AI would do something smarter than he can imagine. Until the AI understands nanotechnology sufficiently well it won't bother trying to act and the thought might not even occur to it until it has the full capability to carry it out, so noticing it would be pretty hard. I doubt OpenAI reviews 100% of interactions with ChatGPT, and so the initial phishing/biotech messages would be hidden with the existing traffic for example. Some unfortunate folks would ask chatGPT how to get rich quick and so the conversations would look like a simple MLM scheme for sketchy nutritional supplements or whatever.
These were such great & exiting products, an interesting time full of possibility. It's unfortunate how fixed-function cameras have become. The more modern cameras out there do have some sdk's but this still seems way future-forward an attempt & it'd be so excellent to see open possibilities like this come again.
God save people who don't know you're 'supposed' to use something else.

Most projects state something like "run pip install whatever", which people will then do. If you're lucky, it will ask for sudo. If you're even luckier, you stop to think before entering your password.
It likely depends a lot on how you value your outcomes. If it's mostly about the money, very comfortable complete financial independence (that you don't otherwise have) would be hard for most people to turn down. On the other hand, we'd have significantly fewer large companies built from the ground up if everyone felt that way.
Already rich, bad advice, or really believing in the moral purpose of the mission.

I wonder if the physical workers join especially for services. Perhaps not, since they may be needed.
Specifically, I have a 49" ultrawide monitor and a VM in it. If I share the entire VM, other people with smaller monitors see it too small and have to zoom. If I resize the VM, I have to reposition my windows inside it.

It's easier to share a portion of the screen, it's what I do in Zoom. A portion of a window would work too.
I was using koboldAI to work on a short story and it had two characters bump into each other, one of them pull a knife, viciously shank the other seven times leaving the other one to collapse into a pool of blood and die, and then apologize for the accident like it was a minor occurrence after which they both went on their own ways with a "slightly embarrassed smile and nod, wistfully wondering of what might have been".
I appreciate the attempt, but this poster has already resorted to posting ChatGPT responses, so I don't think it's worth the effort. They aren't serious responses. And actually, I just noticed they're ban evading and using ChatGPT to write all their responses, because apparently, HN is too PC for their edgy takes.
I'm a big fan of the high-inflation economy, we should go back to that.

It seems to me that "inflation" is just another word for "worker power." It means there is low unemployment and lots of opportunities to hop to a higher paying job. It means you can work remotely and tell your boss to get stuffed if they want to RTO. Prices go up but if you play your cards right, you can increase your income by significantly more.

I was at groupon when this happened. My impression was this was more of rumor and wishful thinking.

In the US, I used to receive multiple spam calls a day. A few years ago, I turned on the iOS setting that sends all phone numbers not in my contacts straight to voicemail and haven't looked back.

It's occasionally inconvenient—maybe once or twice a year I deal with a company that needs to call me. But if it's a call from a real person, I can always listen to the voicemail and call them back. Most spam calls either don't leave voicemail, or leave 1 second message that I can bulk delete every few months.
We've been "moving too fast" since we figured out agriculture. It's fine. The world as you know it will change irreversibly; you'll long for the simplicity of youth; you will bemoan the state of the world we have left for our children... just like every generation before us did. It'll all be fine. Enjoy the ride, it's called life, and it's better than it ever has been.

Frankly I wonder if professionally-produced audiobooks are even going to exist in five or ten years. I'm a huge audiobook consumer and lately I've been consuming the entire HP Lovecraft bibliography, as narrated by AI-voice Dagoth Ur. It's every bit as good as a real narrator and when these AI voice models can run on local hardware I'm never buying another audiobook again. It's going to be incredible for books that never got an audiobook version, or whose audiobook recording is very old and poor quality, or just authors that picked a really annoying narrator.

There is no overlap between the ecological niches of humans and GAI, in other words, there is no cost to the GAI for allowing us to continue to exist.

GAI will feed on information. Humans are the densest source of information in the known Universe. (The rest of the Universe is a poem in physics, in information space humans shine as the sole star in a dark universe.)

Ergo, from first principles, hyper-intelligent GAI will hide from us and practice non-interference, following something like the "Prime Directive" of Star Trek.

Cheers, hope this helps.

Groupon was funded by the participating businesses, and the promised growth didn't occur for them.

I personally only ever used it for a discount at businesses (restaurants) I already went to. It was lose-lose for them on my purchases, but at least I still went afterwards.

Many Groupon customers would just use the coupon, and never return. This is a total loss for the business, because the coupon was often below cost for the restaurant. Note that the only things that really remained forever is the things that had nearly no incremental cost for the business to give out (free trial for SaaS-style things).
I saw that maybe a decade ago? It's amazing. There are some really pretty ones one etsy.

How often would it have mattered if you missed out on those conversations, say as a percentage?

Which would be nonsense, because a CD* isn't a deposit.

*There are CDs and there are CDs. Many CDs have a put which lets you redeem your principal at any time. Those don't lose value when rates go up. But many CDs don't, particularly tradable ones, and that's part of the risk one takes when trying for a higher return. How a bank counts deposits for waiving fees is a separate question from fair market value.

Banks usually lend out commercial loans at 50%~60% LTV. They get some cushion.
OK you're moving the goalposts and just flat-out saying that you know better than the actual researchers in the field. That's fine, and it's what I was assuming you were going to say, but I appreciate you being open about it.
Didn't Biden only best Trump by a small percentage? If correct, is that really 'easy to beat'?
Indeed. If the banks can hold the bonds to maturity then they get par value back. It's a temporary paper loss but not a problem unless other things start to go awry and they are forced to liquidate as per SVB.

There aren't many assets like that. If the value of a property or an equity goes down, all you can do is hope that it goes back up. With bonds you just have to wait, and indeed every day that passes the value will converge back to par.
The binaries are big because it's shipping a preprended lisp kernel together with the entire programming language in a heap image. It's also largely dependent on the Common Lisp implementation. SBCL is very inline happy and consequently consumes more memory than other Lisp implementations. A fresh CCL image consumes at most 8 MB on my Mac.

If you want small binaries, then you'd want tree-shaking, not an entirely new language. LispWorks is already capable of producing small, graphical hello world examples. Even then, a hello world is a rather silly benchmark for binary size, especially since it totally ignores the fixed cost of a language runtime and no serious person is distributing a hello world.
This might do more for Linux adoption than any one event ever has (or will)
I don't really see how to argue further since you seem to be intentionally missing the point and looking for minor pedantic nuances that don't actually change the situation. So I'll let you know that I still think you're entirely wrong, and agree to disagree.
