I think these comparisons always miss that humans are still useful because they are the control system in the end. Even if at very high level.
When AGI comes along, humans will have to compete with it in the market, and there may be very little actual need for humans.

I'm not in Sweden but why are we always pointing the finger at the poor immigrants? Do you think there are no native Swedes being fucked by this real estate market?

Granted, having an open borders migration policy is not a good idea when you have a housing shortage. If you're struggling to provide for the locals, then the newcomers will have it even worse and won't like it, leading to more inequality, social divide, unrest and increased crime.

But blaming immigrants is always a cheap shot politicians take to blame the demographic without voting rights for the problems they themselves are responsible for. "It's not us who screwed you over with inflation and housing while taking your taxes, it's the immigrants who took your job and house".
This this this. Split PTO is an accommodation for disabled and chronically ill folks that allows them to have actual vacation and also take care of themselves. Unified PTO penalizes people who need time off work to care for themselves regularly.

If you're disabled/chronically ill you maybe be able to use intermittent FMLA (in the US) to take more sick time but this is unpaid and can be a big hassle, esp if your employer/doctors are not supportive/cooperative (which can be a result of incompetence/ignorance as easily as malice)
There's Docusaurus and MkDocs. Docusaurus has a React Frontend, and MkDocs is python-based.

IMO MkDocs Material is very easy to set up and customize. Use Docusaurus if you need a lot of customization. Both of these have built-in search and output static websites.

MkDocs Material is sponsorware, though. If you need the "blog" feature you'll need to cough up $15. Docusaurus is from Meta and is fully free.

It was super convenient to fly out of Mather Field to San Jose and be door to door in like an hour and change. But prob uneconomical in today's zoom world although I imagine the cost of lost time going from PDX to SMF then getting to the local office means losing half a days work.
Yeah that's very much a special-purpose tool and cannot be used if for example the build.rs file has different output for Linux/macOS/Windows.

I like the Meson model where the meta-build system is opinionated (not as much as cargo in the case of Meson, but still quite a bit) but, at the same time, it doesn't itself take care of the build. The build is done via build.ninja, static analysis and other tools use compile_commands.json. There is no reason why cargo couldn't work this way and even preserve the same command line interface.
To me, the most important thing here isn't the lawsuit, or the goat theft, or the woman's or fair's actions at all - it's how journalism can be used to manipulate smart people into thinking one thing is true, when it's not, and what that means in a post-GPT world.

I think this type of journalism has been holding us back, as a society, and we now have the tools to fix it (or make it worse).
Ya that notion that the US (and presumably it’s allies) should “behave” in the face of Chinese aggression probably isn’t going to sit well with a lot of folks. Fine line between behaving and appeasement. It’s definitely time for US to reinvest in its domestic production capacity like you say!

You don't have to buy a map, paths begins usually in villages or lead to them. Usually when I walk in an unknown place I can find some of the red signs that indicates a GR, sometimes with distances and names of places they lead to. I hiked a lot without a map, never struggled to find a GR, local people usually know about them very well.
there is no sense of simultaneity that crosses coordinate systems. there are three relationships between events a and b. a is before b, b is before a, and neither. to get the total ordering, you have to arbitrary and non physically pick a or b.

in that Newtonian universe, good enough clocks and time stamps could be used to break the tie. good enough clocks will never be enough in our universe, there is no canonical way to say of two events separated in a space like way is first. in a newtonian universe you can.

I'm using Firefox on Linux¹ and I have experienced none of those problems. Although I'm not particularly happy with the direction that Mozilla has been headed, Firefox is certainly a vast improvement over Chrome or even Chromium.

I’m out a lot more frequently than that. If I actually took the time I needed, it would be 2~3 days each month. I usually want to take a minimum 12 days of vacation per year to attend conventions and visit people.

The end result is me spending a week or more per month being barely functional. I’m at my desk, poking at code I don’t have enough brain power to understand. But, better to “work” than get in trouble for not being visibly at my desk.
You’ve made some truly interesting counterpoints here. Thanks!

That having been said, friction is subjective. So we’ll have to agree to disagree about your last point.
thanks. this is a profoundly useful paper to help one being able to think about distributed systems.
> The reason you are looking for is called corruption.

It could just be democracy. Homeowners are an important vote bank and they generally want house prices to rise. A government that substantially increased housing supply would cause house prices to drop, which would make homeowners unhappy.
And they don't have liabilities on the books for accrued PTO.
>didn't he pay for a would-have-been hit to get somebody killed but it was actually an FBI agent (aka he got set up and fell for the trap)?

I don't know, did he?

The government dropped those charges, and then when his defense team tried to present evidence defending him from those allegations (note that two federal agents eventually went to jail for their corruption during this case) the judge wouldn't allow them to present their evidence.

Basically, he never got a chance to defend himself from that allegation. Yet it was used at his sentencing to show he deserved life in prison (for non-violent crimes).
>Finally, theft doesn't carry the death penalty, and the people whose truck was stolen were not in danger. If the thief drew a gun they should have withdrawn.

innocence or guilt isn't determined by applying legal standards to non-judges outside of courthouses, which brings up another point : laws aren't somehow universal to a country, let alone a state. It shouldn't be presumed that a working knowledge of how thing work on average within the United States affords one a working knowledge of how things work in Texas.

There were a lot of presumptions made by the victim, agreed on that. It's fortunate that a non-related party wasn't hurt.

Personally I wouldn't have risked my life for the pursuit of a stolen vehicle, but I can understand the urge.
This is nice but it misses what's fundamentally special about "real" graph databases - the way they store data.

Native graph databases like Neo4J use index-free adjacency. This means query durations are proportional to the amount of the graph searched, -not- the size of the data stored.

https://neo4j.com/blog/native-vs-non-native-graph-technology...

For large graphs, or deeply recursive queries, you need a native graph database to get reasonable performance.

What you're calling "breaking site guidelines", I call "politely standing up to an active bully". A bully who you acknowledged was well over the line. You said nothing to tptacek about it, while banning me for putting a toe over the "guideline".

You said "we just asked you to stop" in reference to a request 12 months previous, yes. There was no other request. I think 3 exceedingly minor incidents over 30 months is pretty bad to ban someone over - and I think it's weird that you'd go so far as to dig that shit up as if it's relevant here, or improves your case.

Sure look, we all make mistakes. Since you apparently though that you'd asked me to stop recently, and in fact you hadn't, feel free to unban me.

I sent the email that day. No worries about not finding it - you're only human. Again, feel free to stop rate limiting my comments, and limiting them to those with showdead on.

I'll continue to have a spine whatever you decide, and I'll call out bullies, politely, with this account or through a VPN - your call.
I believe humans will continue to be useful. You apparently do not. I have not missed anything.

Been using Firefox on Linux as my daily driver and haven't seen any of that. Can you provide any examples?
Huh. I'm rather surprised you're comparing the out of the box firefox json formatting (rather good compared to chrome's non-existent formatter) to an extension. Are there no JSON formatting extensions for firefox?

People have been working on rotating detonation engines, and making steady progress, for years. The idea dates to the '60s, but i think work really picked up about a decade ago.
I’m on the fence. The problem with AI doomsday statements is that they don’t lead to any productive discussion, because nothing specific is discussed.

The format needs to be changed if we don’t want it to become religion. Pose realistic scenarios and open them for discussion. Let’s discuss specific things, rather than muse at powerful technology and assume it will be bad.

At least AI enthusiasts are excited about specific things that can be critiqued and analyzed. They might be deluded in their excitement, but it’s not religion.
In a weird way, a skim of your comment reads as the opposite of what I think you intended, after I read it twice.

> because it's a method of anonymous payments

Clarification: Bitcoin is not anonymous. It would be better to call it pseudonomous.

The blockchain remembers transactions and transactions on the main chain are public. Once an investigator gets access to a BTC wallet, they can understand where all of the inflows and outflows went. Even without access to the wallet, some of that can be pieced together from public blockchain data (assuming a single wallet is used).

My understanding is that other cryptocurrencies like Monero are far closer to anonymous.

Also worth mentioning that cash is anonymous (to the extent that your counterparties don’t track every bill’s serial number).

BTC’s value prop over cash is that it can be sent across distance/borders faster than cash can travel and ownership can be maintained with as little as knowledge of a few words.

If using apt, you can add the deadsnakes repository which allows installing the other versions of python3 not included with your linux distro. Then you can install them with

sudo apt install python3.X

I also recommend similarly

sudo apt install python3.X-venv

which allows you to create venvs with whichever python version you have installed

python3.X -m venv .venv

None of the comment is apt. You're seeing people you disagree with and assuming that if they disagree with you it must be because they're crazy, and then you use words like "cult" and "LARP" to try to dismiss them without engaging with their arguments. This does not lead to good discussion.

I think that unaligned and sufficiently smart AI could kill everyone because I looked at the arguments for and against and came to a conclusion. Presumably this is the same thing you did. I know my own mind better than you, and I'm telling you that your attempts to explain why I disagree with you are completely off the mark.

> We don’t enact public policy based on predictions of a biblical apocalypse, nor do we ban televisions or computers because groups like the Amish disapprove of them.

The reason we don't do that is because we evaluate their arguments and disagree with them. It has nothing to do with who they are or why they believe what they believe.
history is a simplified, prettified story that we tell ourselves about how things happened.

Two more facts tilt in favor of Brian Acton here:

1. Encryption made WhatsApp inherently more resistant to being polluted by Facebook. They still get access to highly sensitive metadata about contacts and groups, but they can't do the kind of things they did to rape and pillage Instagram.

2. He took his money and his free time, and has invested heavily in supporting Signal. While Meta lets WhatsApp rot and slowly becomes Yahoo, Signal is solidly on its way to become the OpenStreetMap/Internet Archive/Wikipedia of social communication apps.
I said a few days ago that it is very likely 3 letter agencies and other organisations have had GPT4 equivalent models for some time now. It doesn’t seem that unlikely that some branches of the US gov would have much more advanced models.
I’m not talking about GPT-3.5 vs GPT-4. I’m talking about a change to their system prompt.
It is in movies and other forms of mass media. Unfortunately, far left jurisdictions frown on anyone using force, including defending themselves. Triumphal, might-make-right exceptionalism shouldn't be a core value. Patience, letting most things slide, and choosing not to use force where rights allow should be celebrated heroic virtues.
Your lifetime is finite is what I really mean. I know you know but just saying anyways.
It likely would. But efficiency is only one factor. Many Erlang applications are far more concerned with consistent latency than throughput efficiency. So a switch to the JVM is a lot of cost.
Maybe ChatGPT is helping cut through bureaucratic tape. I know it’s helped me become much more persuasive in my communication. If your goal is to convince the US government to spend money testing your rotational detonation engine, your odds of success go up if an LLM helps you write the email.

Two reasons:
1. Mediatek processors have a preloader, essentially a bootloader, which checks the emmc for a bootable partition, and if it cannot find one (or the emmc is not functioning correctly) it will load bootrom mode. This is what amonet exploits.
2. When using amonet on kindle devices, a similar method was used to force the device into bootrom mode as Amazon didn't provide a hardware key to do this

Sure but in my country (USA) the government is hopelessly inept at regulating technology. We still don’t have privacy regulations and now to work around this they’re trying to ban specific foreign apps instead of protecting us from all apps! I’d honestly be horrified if they tried to regulate AI. They would be in bed with Facebook and Microsoft and they’d somehow write legislation that only serves to insulate those companies from legal repercussions instead of doing anything to protect regular people. As far as I can tell it is the view of congress that big tech can to whatever they want to us as long as the government gets a piece.

From your own wording, even you don't quite believe that propaganda.

Esp since both nukes and fire bombings did far more damage to civilians structures at that point.

Even if you ignore the wanton destruction, Russia flipping over to allies and cornering Japan by that time would have been enough to destroy Japanese moral as much as the fire bombings did.

So really the excess use of force by that time wasn't really needed, and trying to justify it now sounds like making poor excuses at revisionism.
None of the examples in the official documentation complied?

That's probably an issue with the setup instructions. You probably don't have it installed right, or ran the compiler wrong, or something like that. Many languages are bad at explaining this part.

Sbf constantly promoted in us media by news organization like nytime and celebrity before all the fraud became apparent.

Why does it mean that?
So true.

Immigration is an entirely separate issue. Conflating it with the fact that hard working Swedes can’t secure good housing only serves to make those Swedes, who are already pissed off, more pissed off. It’s bringing the masses closer to taking to the streets with calls for Madame La Guillotine.

Housing needs to be fixed asap in Sweden. (And in most of the western world if we’re being honest.)

There were some small Alaskan islands that Japan actually seized. The non-military population of Alaska in 1941 was tiny, about 73k, and land links to the lower 48 were weak, so isolating and occupying the territory by sea might have worked. The same goes for at least the smaller Hawaiian islands. The Philippines were successfully occupied despite a much larger population.

Regarding Asia, I think "to acquire territory" is not the real question. Most Americans today would say that we should assist staunch allies such as South Korea if they were invaded, without any desire to acquire their territory. That goes more for the Philippines in 1941, since the US had given them a 10-year security guarantee under the 1934 Philippine Independence Act.
