I'd imagine the authorities are MUCH lazier than that. I recall an episode of "First 48" (a kind of reality TV show following homicide detectives) where the suspect was on the run and occasionally posting to Facebook. The homicide detectives never bothered contacting Facebook for tracking information and instead just waited a few months till police officers found the suspect (who went on to kill himself in the standoff).

Anyway, my point is that I think police detectives are less like the expert professionals of TV shows and films and more like any other government employees. The vast majority of them would be doing well if they read their official training manuals and nevermind more exotic research like this hitman guide.
It probably will be for the first few years.

Layoffs have the opposite effect to the "startup buzz". With startups, things are growing fast, sales are rolling in, everyone feels invincible. Promotions and raises come in fast. No office politics. Abundant resources. People see this exponential growth and they're excited to be paid in stock options.

Layoffs are the opposite of that. It's a symbol that the company is no longer growing.

I'd strongly disagree with the author that permissions are always long-lived -- modern authorization can also be ephemeral, dependent on run-time context[0], and just as fine-grained as feature-flags.

Full disclosure, I think about this topic regularly because I am a maintainer of SpiceDB[1], an open source authorization database.

It's a little silly, but lots of folks aim for the moon when it comes to performance for authorization, but then go on and sprinkle a dozen feature-flag RPCs each adding more and more latency. You should be able to keep feature-flags performant, too: that's why some SpiceDB users collapse checking for authorization and feature-flags into a single round-trip by defining a permission also requires a feature-flag (e.g. permission = admin & has_beta_feature).

It's really encouraging to be working in this space because there are so many epiphanies like the one in the article, but there just hasn't been tooling to make it as obvious until now. We're seeing folks adopt SpiceDB for update graphs and dependency graphs because the resolution of permissions (finding a path through a graph) is similar to solving these problems as well!

There's already too many humans on the planet. A reduction would be really welcome. Humanity can't keep growing forever. The planet can only sustain so many. I think a reduction will actually stave off disaster though in terms of climate change we're already too late.

I don't think the reduction in birth rate has anything to do with religion and a conservative religious society sounds like a nightmare to me personally.

For me the reason for not having kids is simply that life is already expensive enough even with a double income, and life is much more fulfilling without the responsibility of having to raise kids. I've seen so much of the world that I wouldn't have if I'd be rushing between work, school and judo clubs.

I think it's a really good thing that people no longer have to have kids for economic / pension reasons (or lack of decent contraception) but just have them if they really want to. Personally I don't and I don't think I'd be a good father so it's better not to have them.

> In 1993, a triple murder was committed in Montgomery County by a man who was
alleged to have used this book, Hit Man, as his guide. He was caught and
convicted and sentenced to death. Wanting to profit from their loved one's
murder, and realizing that the murderer himself was too poor to be worth suing,
the family of those killed by the hit man sued Paladin Press, the publisher of
the book Hit Man, saying Paladin Press "aided and abetted" the murder.

It's harsh to claim that the family "wanted to profit from their loved one's
murder". They obviously wanted to hurt everyone who was involved in the murder of the victim. If the publisher thinks they were in the right, they should have blamed the legal system, not the family.
There is ongoing debate among academics, even in Norway...

In 2019, a group of researchers from the University of Oslo published a study that found no evidence of a decline in IQ scores over time in Norway, despite claims of such declines in other countries. The researchers argued that the methodology used in previous studies may have contributed to false conclusions about declining IQ scores.

In contrast, a group of researchers from the University of Amsterdam published a study in 2018 that reported a decline in IQ scores in the Netherlands over the past several decades. The researchers suggested that changes in educational systems, such as increased emphasis on testing and memorization, may be contributing to the decline.

There’s a real insight here. At a core level, we simply want to know “can X do Y”. The answer to this could actually come from a feature flag, an experiment, our authorizations / permissions or the product configuration / SKUs we have.

There are important subtleties that mean the same tech isn’t usually a good choice for all of these. But I’m really interested in building something that understands that as a developer I just want to know if X can do Y.

To coordinate against threats or e.g. the formation of 19th century style political machines etc. privacy is essential, but we also want transparency.

Now that we agree on what you mean by heritable, can you clarify what you mean by intelligence?

In traditional psychometrics intelligence is usually operationally defined in terms of the tests them selves. These tests correlate broadly with SAT scores and we can probably agree that disabilities and environments exists which gives people obvious disadvantage when taking the SATs, and that those people should be accommodated accordingly.

Given that you accept the operationally defined term for intelligence, how should we treat group difference in IQ any differently than how we treat (or aspire to treat) group difference in SATs? In other words, why should we care about IQ at all?
I'm having trouble following the argument from your premise "it is a stupid question to ask why I referred to a chair as a chair instead of a snkwoo" to your conclusion "it is not a stupid question to ask why, when we have no answer to a question, we don't just say that we do have one".

The answer (to both of those questions!) is, of course, that we could do that, but it wouldn't accomplish anything. Asking the question just means you have no idea what you're saying. Or in other words, it's a stupid question.
This sounds like a lot of fun! It’s also great that you’re encouraging this - having a passion is great, and following it through to this level is fantastic for development.

I have a question. When you ask an LLM to summarise the rules of the language in a concise manner, and it does so, is it… disheartening?

I mean, if you put a lot of work into creating something, and it gets described in terms that basically make it feel like a configuration - given a glossary and a set of toggles and fill in the blank settings (e.g. word boundaries), out pops a language.

Does seeing that make it feel somewhat less exciting?

IQ testing has numerous applications. For example:

* SAT tests largely amount to IQ tests and are used extensively for college admissions in the US. College degrees from top US universities remain the most sought after degrees in the world.

* Magnet schools in urban areas regularly utilize IQ tests or their equivalents to elevate students into advanced coursework. This enables students to rise above their socioeconomic status.

* European secondary schools regularly use tests that correlate with IQ tests to track students into programs leading to universities versus technical schools. These tests help coordinate society and deploy human capital where it is most needed.

* Even the US military uses IQ tests to avoid accepting recruits who don't meet a certain standard. This aids in ensuring the security of western nations.

IQ testing could be used in additional areas, such as:

* Encouraging higher IQ parents to have more children through subsidies, thereby increasing the likelihood of future technological innovations assisting all mankind.

* Assisting in identifying individuals who need more support from society.

* Better understanding the causes behind social ills like poverty, drug addiction, homelessness and the like. Understanding that an individual's IQ is a stronger determinant of economic outcome than other variables, such as race, is a step toward a society with more solidarity and less friction.

I appreciate that you have a bias against intelligence testing, and I understand its genesis (your mention of the "eugenics craze" makes that clear). I'm suggesting society aim toward an enlightened view of these things where people's IQs don't identify them as "greater" or "lesser". Wishing IQ away is unlikely to work, particularly in a world about to experience the arrival of super-intelligent AI systems.
I’m open to the possibility. But I’ll say with respect to the OP post that there were a couple of red flags: self-harm “for the dopamine hit” and the ADHD + OCD combo.

Nobody self harms for a dopamine hit. There are a billion other things you can do for that. Self harm is indicative of deeper issues like depression.

ADHD and OCD people have difficulty achieving things they want to do. Unwanted weight gain is something a lot of ADHD people deal with, and it can feel like personal failure to not be able to get it under control. I’m speaking from personal experience here.

To see the pounds rapidly melt away would give such a high. Even if you know it’s just the drug at work, the more primitive part of your brain sees you finally achieving what you’ve been striving for years to do.

That could easily be enough to pull you out of whatever dark place was causing you to self-harm.

Training materials for firefighters use the phrase "copious quantities of water".[1] That's just for scooter and e-bike sized fires. FDNY recommends knocking down the fire with water to a level where a shovel can be used to dump the battery into a bathtub or bucket filled with water. That prevents re-ignition. FDNY has a huge problem with cheap scooters and e-bikes catching fire in residential structures.

Current thinking for electric vehicle fires is to let them burn out unless there's a threat to something nearby. If there is, 8 hours of spraying water on the vehicle
usually works. But then the mess may re-ignite.

Nice to see progress on this end. I've been hoping for some time for a continuation of AI generated shows (like the previously-famous Nothing Forever) that can 1) interact with the open world and 2) keep history long enough (e.g. by resummarizing and reprompting the model).

Here’s a thought experiment for you.

You have 3 power generation systems adjacent to each other. One is a massive solar power field. One is a massive wind turbine field. And one is a nuclear power plant. In the ideal conditions, all 3 generate an equivalent amount of power.

Suddenly, the sun goes down and all the wind stops. Which one is now generating the most power?

That can't be true; those are two completely unrelated concepts.

A bit tangential but:

> While the 750W power unit does present a pretty hefty environmental consideration, Ampere will offer an optional liquid cooling assembly.

In discussions of new CPUs, GPUs etc. I often see people comparing consumption, who however are regularly buying newer units as if the decreased power consumption wasn't undone by the massive footprint of a new chip.

This workstation doesn't seem (operative term here!) significantly different from typical servers in terms of power or consumption, so I don't see why it would matter overall.
I agree there's a problem here, but the verification problem exists for every app on your iPhone that isn't released by Apple.

Maybe I'm just clueless, but what solution could exist to verify that the code running on your phone doesn't differ from a given codebase (that also can't be faked)?

We can build Brave for any platform, which happens to have a wallet, but there's still no way of knowing whether what I built matches what's on the apple store. At least on Android there's F-Droid, which builds and releases from the source. Seems like that's as close as we can get to user-friendly and verifiable right now.

Below -20, I'd consider bringing the battery inside for the night - even if you have a battery blanket. Once a lead-acid car battery has frozen, it will die very quickly from then on - I'd believe within a few days or less even in normal weather. AGM batteries are awesome alternatives for the cold weather lifestyle, in terms of their resistance to freezing damage.

> To start with, Linux kernel lacks some API that PalmOS simply needs, for example ability to disable and re-enable task switching. Yup... PalmOS sometimes asks for preemption to be disabled.

The POSIX port of FreeRTOS (FreeRTOS running on top of Pthreads) has a way to emulate this behavior. All tasks are threads and all but one stays suspended at any given time. The FreeRTOS scheduler can switch out which task is allowed to run by sending signals to their respective thread. This allows the tasks to operate as if the FreeRTOS scheduler is in control as normal and the Linux scheduler only has an opportunity to run the one thread flagged by the signalling mechanism.
