My dream: a visible cue on screen telling me if my iPhone is muted, instead of having to feel the switch in the dark to try to determine if I will embarrass myself in the cinema…

Since now it will not be possible to see if I’m mute or not while looking at the button, I assume a visible cue on the screen will be mandatory.

Row house are dense housing. No yards, they don’t take up much space on the ground. If you are comparing it to people who live in apartments sure, not as dense, but the SFHs you think exist in SF don’t really, the neighborhoods are all fairly dense given the land costs involved.

> And idk if you’ve noticed, but China has had an insane urbanization rush for the last 20+ years, so high housing costs in their cities isn’t surprising.

How is that different from “The popular place everyone wants to live should build enough housing to support that affordably”? Consider:

IDK if you’ve noticed, but a lot of people want to live in Seattle in the last 20+ years, so high housing costs in Seattle isn’t surprising.

Are you just using another standard for China, or do you mean the situation is truly different?

Elderly kept contributing in someway or an other. Maybe not the hardest physical labour, but what they could still do. And those who weren't functional I would guess tended to die pretty quickly if not extremely wealthy to pay servants to keep them around.

> Dvorak keyboard, Full Arch Linux with tiling windows manager. Everything in the terminal, all dev through vim

I'm a little confused, because most of these things sound like a great way to reduce context switching / extra keystokes.

I imagine if you're not familiar with this setup, coming from another world, them yes a learning curve will be needed, and that might last for years. I think that'd be just as true with any radically different setup than you're used to.
I enjoy local music, books and games a lot, but legally enforcing "less American culture" seems like a really strange/indirect way of supporting local productions. Why shouldn’t people be allowed to choose what they spend their money and time on?

And if you think that there should be more support for their producers to compete with Hollywood budgets: Have you watched the credits of any European film or TV production recently? There are lots of government funds (EU and national/local) being spent on just that.

Also, Netflix has probably done more for both the funding and international distribution of European TV shows than all European streaming services combined.

Electrolyzing excess energy to produce hydrogen is a good option. Sure, it is not that efficient but you can store hydrogen and it's a useful base ingredient for many industrial processes. And if you need electrical energy you just burn it in a gas-fired power plant.
> No physical law prevents us from building the equivalent to a house sized brain

I think you'll find the speed of thought is much lower than the speed of light, I believe nerve impulses max out at about 120 m/s. The difficulty of supporting such a large mass of nerve tissue is also a problem. There is also the trouble of whether intelligence is purely electrically mediated or if it relies on the soup of hormones and molecular machinery of DNA and proteins for some of its functions. We also need to specifically consider the neocortex here since it is the only differentiating brain structure in animals with human intelligence. Other animals have much larger brains but no signs of human like abilities.

If you are suggesting we build an artificial brain then we need to wait at least a few more years if not decades to find out if that is possible. The current transformer models are quite advanced at language production and seem to have some simple reasoning abilities but they are very far from being intelligent.
very good point - I think EU bureaucracy may well create a version of the US internet which is at least a different flavour to that which the US citizens use have access to. Italy banning ChatGPT on GDPR grounds for example - surely there will be a (very bad) local replacement which Italians can then use. However rather than a different internet altogether, it might just be a washed out version of what the US uses

My mom passed away while I was a young adult, she had a mental illness that was going to get worse and I’m the only child. It took over a year to get over her passing, but in hindsight, and as morbid as it is, it was a blessing in some ways because it meant I could focus on my new family and career without putting life on pause to care for her.

They needed a word for this new thing so they took it from english. English itself steals words from all languages should it need a new word for thing. There's no governing body for language, people just use the words they think work best. You say this type of word use doesn't benefit anybody, but it does, it benefits the people who needed a word for a new thing and now have one. Words are just mouth noises after all, it doesn't really matter what it is, only that everyone agree what it means.
It’s a good point that things have changed a bit, but in 1993 when this article was written you couldn’t get a web job based on code camps, neither really existed. There was no role called webmaster yet. Webmaster today is a team only if you’re managing a large site, but not for small sites, and it doesn’t require many specific skills for small sites. Like you said, most engineers had degrees of some sort. For the purposes of comparing to a producer job (which has existed in film, tv, radio, and music for ~100 years) engineering has always had higher skill & technical requirements.
>> Americans are usually not aware of the extent of american cultural imperialism which is basically everywhere, not just in Europe but you can see it very strong here

I would argue that the US (and perhaps some other English-speaking countries) need more cultural diversity imported from other parts of the world.

Many Americans are unaware because they have not traveled outside of the US nor have they studied other languages, cultures, music, etc.

The Internet and the growth of global media has helped, but it's not the same as going to another place and meeting the people there.
And Truman Show! Epic soundtrack. Also Jane (documentary on Goodall), which is almost a reworking of the Mishima music.. extremely similar, but I still found it to be vibrant and fresh.

Also if you listen to The Truman Show main theme, you may find that it sounds very similar to The Leftovers main theme. I’m quite certain that Richter must have borrowed elements from it.
It's important to remember that just because the press may highlight certain topics more frequently, it doesn't necessarily mean that the government is not putting enough effort into other essential issues.

I think one of the problems is we keep searching for a "miracle cure" rather than getting our hands dirty and putting in the work to fix these problems. Rather than thinking of each as a distinct issue, we should think about these as a complicated web of problems: fixing one may make another worse temporarily, but if we work on several at once, we can make a meaningful difference for a lot of people.

Let's take home values, for example. Homeowners are typically against changes that can decrease their property value because of how important home ownership is for generational wealth here. We've made the assumption that house prices will increase YoY forever, which just isn't feasible - especially considering homes will age and encounter more and more issues as they age.

Naturally, you have NIMBYs who don't want their home values to decrease – honestly, I can't blame them. I think making housing affordable for everyone (or at least _most_ of everyone) will require a significant shift about how we think about home ownership.

There's also the hidden cost of suburban developments to cities[0] which results in chronic underfunding of city services, not to mention the added cost of car ownership typically required to live in a single-family home. I drive rather little, but typically spend ~$150/mo on insurance and gas alone in a given month.

It's a hard problem that will require many people smarter than me to figure out how to get us out of this web. But I think that it can happen if we acknowledge that our cities have problems and actually invest time and money into fixing it.

First point: You need to think about generative AI porn, either how you might ethically integrate it (perhaps automatically training LORAs for your creators and paying them for its usage?) or how you are going to compete against it with "real" content. It coming for the porn industry like a tidal wave, and its coming in months, not decades.

> The only things that are currently blocking me are the fear that a competitor might use our technology without respecting licensing.

IDK if you are talking about licensing the content or code, but open source does not necessarily mean open licensing. Unlike others, I think open but proprietary code is perfectly fine and less risky that most fear. And if someone else illegally uses your framework in another country... who cares? There are a gazillion other frameworks they could have used anyway.

Anyway, in the context of generative AI, being open source would be much more important, as contributors would be highly motivated to fix and extend your generative backend, and that constant attention is critical for keeping up with the crazy development pace.
Share meaningful times and emotions with the people that are close to you. I don’t think this is something that should be done because people will depart, more because it improves connection with people and helps you become a much more available person.
Every managers from small and big rims I've heard or talked to say the same thing about remote working, not just CEOs of RBC and Elon. Remote work kills productivity.

My brother gave me a formative bit of advice.

You can never take it back. Once you make it, and put it out there, what was yours is now everyone's.

I'm a FLOSS diehard, but I do not write and release much software for the express reason that I simply don't trust other people not to abuse the crap out of things. I set my end-of analysis posts much further than most (I tend to assume culpability beyond the 4th degree of seperation, where most prople abort at 1st or second for the purposes of my own analysis; impractical? Seems like, but has thusfar had a reasonably high success rate at helping me be able to sleep at night)

Note: I know ot seems contradictory, but it's one of the reasons I admire people like Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, and the FSF/EFF as much as I do. The courage and conviction they demonstrate in my opinion truly makes them remarkable people.

> While all “Ram doubling” software for Windows was always a scam

I could be wrong, but Windows 10 and 11 have a memory compression feature built in, and I think it basically works the same way SoftRAM was supposed to, except with actual compression.
I'd argue that it's stupid to think that it's stupid to rely on UB.

Almost any non-trivial software explicitly relies on undefined behavior, including safety critical libraries such as cryptographic libraries, the Linux operating system has rampant undefined behavior that it makes a conscious decision to use. POSIX makes use of undefined behavior for shared libraries (it treats functions loaded from shared libraries as void*, which is undefined behavior).
Yes, it is more intelligent. Also, given enough time that protozoa can evolve. GPT4 cannot. In fact GPT4 makes zero sense if humans are not involved and are not using it as a tool. It's a tool we have created.

The problem when talking about AI, AGI, intelligence is that we are always doing that using an anthropomorphized lens.

If we discard this lens and take these developments at face value for what they are, tools, the conversation can be honest and we can talk about pros/cons and where these technologies can be used. To pretend that the machines are going to take over any minute now and what we are seeing is "intelligence" will only help drive certain discourses and in the worst case will make these tools available for a small minority or have them banned altogether.

> If it were truly random not pseudo random there would be no way to control what was won or maybe nobody would win at all.

This doesn’t make much sense. You don’t need to manipulate an RNG to ensure the house has an edge - and to my understanding this is generally not done in the big casino venues because it’s not even necessary. Because what you’re essentially suggesting is that machines purposely use poor quality PRNGs - which is absolutely not true. They have in the past unintentionally and have only been burned by it.
Utilizing a PRNG does make auditing easier though. And it’s much easier to produce a reliable PRNG than find a reliable source of randomness that is not vulnerable to manipulation. (Having said that, mechanical real machines got by for years without any algorithmic RNG)

Games of chance that utilize effectively true randomness (since the behavior is unpredictable even to the house) have been around for millennia.

Came to post this. Life gets much better when you stop thinking of your body functions as bugs. They're features.

Your body learned that 'working really really hard for this resulted in very little tangible reward' and then probably concluded 'i will not work very hard for long periods of time without seeing reward'

Probably the hardest part is understanding that 'i made a number in a database increase' is not actually a reward.
I’m not an insider, so I wouldn’t know, but there is an alternative take on their motivations for courting the Saudi’s. Namely, they are becoming a bit like SoftBank: they’ve been raising mega funds the past couple years and have started to run out of traditional institutional investors to court.

While this could be an alternative take all its own, it can also be combined with the crypto take (they aren’t mutually exclusive).

That's the root problem. It's "release first" maybe ask questions later. Imagine if food or drug - which also end up in your body - were done the same way.

But even if individual chemicals are proven to be safe, there's the issue of combining with other chemicals in the wild.

In the case of these containers...I grew up when the local takeout (e.g., Chinese) used paper containers. We survived. These newer "high tech" solutions are silly.
Just to clarify, I have not experienced any bugs in Firefox, nor am I stating that there are any present. However, I do believe that when it comes to creating layouts, CSS Grid is a more effective tool than Flex. While Flex is great for inline-oriented designs, CSS Grid's grid-oriented approach makes it significantly more efficient for creating complex layouts.

Get a used HP LaserJet from their professional line. They lack wifi, are way bigger then your normal printer but they work for years without problems and have cheap replacement parts and cartidges.

One general advice is to look for recommended devices in the medical/law/military area. There is nothing special about those printers but their recommondation for such institutions makes them a safe bet and never failed me or one of my clients (even 10+ years later).

I think quantum computing is at the start of a notation transition, from using mainly quantum logic circuits to using mainly ZX graphs. It makes things that used to look different obviously the same, so you can easily translate results.

A few examples:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.08829 (ZX shows equivalence between approaches that used to be thought of as different)

https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.08670 (ZX shows how to find new ways to implement fault tolerant operations)

https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.12780 (using ZX to build a 4-body parity measurement out of 5 2-body parity measurements instead of 6, and to show the previous constructions are easily related)
These comments always irk me.

I am a "reasonably leveled FAANG eng" in Canada.

I have enough money to do the following:

- rent a 2 bedroom apartment in a smaller city.

- Order food from time to time.

Things that are difficult to afford:

- Any level of a car (currently car share).
- I don't even look at house prices almost anywhere in my province.

My effective tax rate is around 48% and with the way things keep increasing in price I will likely never own a home.

Returning to the original question .... Am I rich?

>The problem is a lack of a precautionary principle— manufacturers can change one molecule and re-market their product and groups like the EPA have to do extensive research on each new variant to show danger.

I'm skeptical that would have made a difference. According to wikipedia teflon pans were introduced in the 1950s, and it was only until the last decade or so that the real dangers (ie. not just the fumes from it overheating) were known.
Owner of a color Samsung C430W laser printer here. Have changed the black and yellow toner once in 3-4 years. Both still at > 80%. Never worried about 'dry cartridges'. Works seamlessly on Mac, Windows and mobile phones, no driver installs (should be totally possible on inkjets too, but never is).
