I don't think you understand where this research is going. The aim is not to have people living forever. The aim is for all of us to live for a long time in a body of a 25 year old. There won't be a gerontocracy because there won't be old people.

> There once was a time when desktop adoption was seen as the most important goal for Linux

Well, that hasn't changed, but people have convinced themselves that Linux on the desktop is 100% fine, and if you don't like it, the problem is you.
I wouldn't qualify those in favor of death as misanthropes, they have a very valid point, even if some have it for the wrong reasons. Humanity is not ready for the wealthy to live forever. They say science advances one funeral at a time, and that is true for all of humanity.

Political, legal, and economical systems would have to be prepared before that, otherwise countries would stagnate as undying parasites embed themselves in society for centuries. As they won't want competition, the most effective antiaging treatments would be priced out of the commoners forever. In some countries like USA people struggle to pay for insulin, much less antiaging treatments.

Edit: regarding your question, if people lived naturally forever, and it became a problem just recently, I think they're already adapted to living forever, and the problems come from something new. Anyway, let's suppose the problems are caused by overpopulation, then the solution would be to limit reproduction, and let the population fall down a bit as accidents/murders happen naturally.

Patented and royalty-free are not distict, it depends on whether the owners of the patent have agreed to others using it royalty-free, which is the case here (for both AVIF and JPEG-XL, and both have Google owned patents I think) .

So they are technically correct but a little misleading.
Its an example of government subsidizing journalism. Should it matter if it's state or federal?

But the crux of the issue is the question "does a small amount of federal money influence NPR". I think the answer is "it does not". I've listened to NPR and read NYT, WSJ, WashPo for years and I've never heard a peep about the federal money influencing NPR.

The OP is stating there are strings attached and NPR answers to the Feds. I've never seen one iota of that in my entire life.
Wow, that's interesting, considering that gabapentin has been experimented with as a possible remedy for it.

I hope it goes away for you.
US arrests suspect behind leak of Pentagon documents
I agree. But my opinion should mean nothing without the science and quantitative numbers to back it up. I think most production should be within 200km of the consumer, that goods should probably move at the rate of a horse. We should strive for equilibrium over the time scale of 1000 years.
Obfuscation is annoying at best, doesn't do much otherwise. Someone has to follow what happens to the private key through the control-flow graph anyway. (And if some function says innocent_crypto_method2 it still needs to be "audited" anyway.)

If the key ends up used for signing and authenticating messages and for nothing else, then it's sort of safe to say that it's not leaked. (Sure there might be some other part of the code that reads it indirectly, but that's also something that will likely not be named leak_priv_key() :))

The only thing that would help is open source + trusted reproducible builds.
> I hear this all the time, and I see little evidence that it's as strong an effect as everyone says.

You forget that in a deflationary economy prices would go down. Most of Wall Street, of course, is not their own money. It's borrowed money. Borrowed from pensioners, from central banks, from every bank in existence.

Deflation would not only make it in the banks interest never to loan a cent again, it would suck something like 95% of the money out of the stock market (so no, it definitely wouldn't be in your interest to still own profitable firms).

Wall Street is mostly smoke and mirrors, to convince people to work to pay pensioners and banks, and siphon off a healthy percentage for themselves. It just wouldn't work in a deflationary economy and it's the source of most of the money in the US economy. Without it we'd have to do something crazy like have the government run ~50 moonlanding-sized projects at the same time to make up for it.
Then the US shouldn't always go complaining when its companies(arguably a bigger spy network than China's) get banned too, not only China but around the world.
Yes. that's the same variation we played. That's why the teachers banned it, and we moved to playing it in the green spaces away from supervision after school.

It says a lot about the Scots diet it's named after smoked fish there.
The cost at runtime also includes loss of data, inferior user experience, direct financial loss or even loss of human life for some systems.

I agree with you too, but don't think holding politicians to their lies or fixating on class warfare is really the most pressing part of the situation. He's calling for lynchings because he knows there's a receptive audience for it.

That's the part you should be most worried about, because a mob so empowered could just as easily turn its gaze to you. Good luck trying to be a nuisance to that prominent person once the mob gets a taste for blood. Before participating in doxxing frenzies or lynch mobs, nobody ever stops and thinks "what if this guy didn't actually do it?"

No expansion of the carceral state required, we'll just deputize an angry mob to play the part of Executioner.
I thought the map for "Portland" was going to be an interesting split between the city in Oregon vs the city in Maine, but it didn't even recognize the city in Maine. I think it showed up fourth on its list losing out to two cities in Midwestern states.
Immigration makes sense as you tend to preferentially select the more capable/active people, which is generally the kind of populace you want.

> I tried looking up "Hollywood" and apparently the entire country assumes this to mean Hollywood, FL.

Also, take a look at "Springfield" (unfortunately, I can't figure out to link to a result). It says most of the country thinks it's Springfield, MA, which I frankly don't believe. IMHO, the correct answer is most likely Springfield, IL, because that's the capital of Illinois and you'd learn that while learning states and capitals in elementary school.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_Illinois

Similarly, I think most of the other Springfields have "catchment areas" (for lack of a better term) that are far too large. They should shrink because of the particular "fame" of Springfield, IL.

Edit: After reading https://pudding.cool/2023/03/same-name/method/, I think their "usually refers to" ratings are actually disinformative. It might be OK for places no one ever hears about except through proximity, but "Wikipedia article length" is not a good-enough proxy for cultural knowledge. They really should base this map on some kind of survey data (even a non-scientific internet survey would be far better and probably get pretty close to the truth).
How much weather data do you think it would take to be able to predict the weather 100 or 1000 years from now?

People who have never trained a neural network nor attempted to model the weather or any large system might be inclined to believe current climate modeling. Unfortunately we lack the data to do so with any precision or accuracy. And I'm not convinced by someone yelling at me to trust experts. I can reason well enough on my own to know that we lack the data to know if humans are causing global climate changes or if these are just natural progressions.
It sounds right, but would you mind spelling out the full conclusion? The level of indirection is a bit high for my lazy brain.

To me public communication has the trade off between trusting the communications platform (like most social platforms today) vs trusting the end user (signed messages). If you have trusted end users, scraping a third party repo of “forever history” becomes more plausible, as they can both prove that you(ish) signed it and are unlikely to respect your request to delete their copy. Is this different from what you’re saying?
It’s also read probably countless CS textbooks and tutorials, all of StackOverflow, all of GitHub, etc. I think it’s really significantly less of a stretch that to state that it can do what you’re describing because a lot of code is similar and it’s seen gigabytes of it, rather than state it somehow learned how to reason in the human sense.

There is win-win outcome for water shortages: abundant, clean, inexpensive energy

The technology to purify water from the ocean is quite basic, it just takes a lot of energy so water produced this way is expensive. When we have abundant clean energy, we'll have more cheap fresh water than we know what to do with.
It dropped me into Denver, telling me that as a resident of Wake County, NC, I'm mostly likely talking about Denver, NC.

I've lived in Wake County since 2004 and literally never heard of Denver, NC before today.

Oh well. NC does have a town named Climax and apparently it's town most people in the US are thinking of when they're thinking of Climax.

I DO think it's deliberate if that's what you implying. There's a lot of money riding on Linux being the go-to server OS. If a bunch of NORMIES start using Linux on the desktop, and get a Linux virus (because those will surely appear, if Linux is ever popular on the desktop), it'll hurt Linux's mystique as "hack-proof".

Not really, because other than things like newer standards (that'd necessitate new hardware anyway) there isn't really any changes that need to made once it works.

Mm, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to compare Janet and Racket. They're so different that they aren't really bidding for the same projects -- you could ask the same question about Janet and Python, or Janet and Ruby, or Janet and Erlang. They aren't really substitutes for one another -- a comparison with Lua or Tcl makes more sense. That said, I think the original article serves as a decent starting point -- how many of the listed points apply to Racket?
A need I've had on multiple occasions is to, for example, search for the next occurance of "abcdef" but have my cursor land on the "d".

In vim that's a simple abc\zsdef

It also highlights just the "def", which is nice.

To highlight just the "de", you could use abc\zsde\zef

Yes, you could probably use some lisp magic to do the same in emacs, but it's not nearly as easy or convenient.

GPT's output is by default somewhat random. If you ask the same exact question several times, you'll potentially get several different answers. Each successive word in the output is chosen from a distribution of possibilities -- that distribution is fixed, but that actual sample chosen from the distribution is not fixed.

Also had ChatGPT develp the game idea/mechanics

Sure, here’s a possible game plan for the idea you proposed:

Gameplay:
The player takes on the role of a survivor on a post-apocalyptic Earth, who has discovered the last remaining Fatline capacitator capable of sending signals to alien life forms. However, the capacitator can only be operated through dance inputs.
The player must navigate through various levels, avoiding obstacles and enemies, while performing dance moves to activate the capacitator and send the rescue signal.

Strategy:

The game could have different difficulty levels, with more complex dance moves required for higher levels.
The player could earn points for successfully executing dance moves, and lose points for mistakes or taking damage from enemies.
The player could also collect power-ups along the way, which could improve their dance moves or provide temporary invincibility.

Plan:

1. Develop a basic game engine with the ability to detect and interpret dance inputs from the full body keyboard.

2. Create a post-apocalyptic world with different levels and obstacles/enemies.

3. Design a variety of dance moves that the player must execute to activate the capacitator.

4. Implement a scoring system that rewards successful dance moves and penalizes mistakes or damage taken.

5. Add power-ups and other collectibles to the game.

6. Test and refine the game mechanics to ensure a challenging and enjoyable gameplay experience.

Mechanics

The game mechanics for the game could include:

1. Movement: The player would use the full body keyboard to control the character’s movement through the game world. For example, the player could move forward by performing a specific dance move, or jump by executing another dance move.

2. Dance inputs: The player would need to perform various dance moves to activate the Fatline capacitator and send the rescue signal. The dance moves could become more complex as the game progresses, requiring the player to execute longer and more intricate sequences.

3. Obstacles and enemies: The game would feature obstacles such as pits, spikes, and other hazards that the player would need to avoid. Enemies such as robots or mutated creatures could also be present, which the player would need to defeat or evade.

4. Power-ups: The player could collect power-ups throughout the game, which would provide temporary boosts to their dance moves or other abilities. For example, a power-up could make the player temporarily invincible to enemy attacks.

5. Scoring: The game would keep track of the player’s score, which would increase as they successfully execute dance moves and defeat enemies. The score could be used to unlock new levels or other rewards.
Overall, the game mechanics would revolve around using the full body keyboard to control the character’s movement and perform dance inputs, while avoiding obstacles and enemies and collecting power-ups to increase the player’s chances of success.
I'd argue that "AI" used to mean a whole universe of things, from self-optimizing rice cookers to computers that figure out the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Today AI remains a catch-all, but having more narrowly scoped terms like ML, AGI, and ASI lets people talk without tripping over whether or not the rice cooker is going to turn us all into paperclips.

Since I have a rich interior dialogue with myselves "inside" it comes as no surprise that close to end-of-life minds come up with comforting thoughts to Shepard the close. Thats what your friends would do.

If you are one of the smaller cohort without an interior dialogue, I suspect you will have the same outcome because even if unvoiced, I am confident you have more than one brain process at work. Not just the proprioception function, but a more integrated individualistic path-seeking process (or two or more, what do I know?) is at work inside.

If you don't dream, and don't have interior dialogue, and cannot pass the Voight-Kampff test then I think you need to speak to the coders in the Tyrell Corp about the upgrade options.
Typeclasses. They're a huge improvement over OO-style overloading, but using them as your default way of talking about structures is a Faustian bargain:

- Implementing two instances of one member each is much more work than one instance with two members, which incentivizes overly coarse typeclass hierarchies: hence Num and friends, which are a disaster.

- They don't provide a good way to talk about one structure uniquely determining another (e.g. a given semigroup can be made a monoid in at most one way), which leads to boilerplate overly pessimistic constraint resolution.

- The way constraint resolution works forces them to take type constructors, not types - which makes aliases, type families, etc. second class citizens.
To pile on with my own anecdote:

I used to work at a mega investment bank, and most days, I saw at least one woman dressed like a hooker. Classy and expensive ones, I guess, but still, I could basically see right up their asscracks through their skintight legging-pants or microdresses. Obviously this kind of sexual display is going to have an effect on the monks, bankers, or whoever's trying to get some goddamn work done around them - that's why they do it. Hence, dress codes.
I’m working on a syntax for an object oriented lisp-like thats basically this (the self receiver is implied)

“Every county on the map above gets a score for each place based on a combination of proximity, population, and Wikipedia article length, then normalized by share.”

These images were all generated by an identical model. The fact that this individual has convinced themself that the model is improving indicates that they don't understand how these models are trained and deployed. Furthermore, any conclusions reached on such limited data reveal more about one's predisposed opinions than anything about the nature of the data. Show this person an ink blot and they very well may see an image of a superintelligent AGI.
I disagree. Any value could be nil, but any value could be 5, too. In fact, nil is just like any other atom. Elixir shines when you lean on pattern matching as much as possible. Your functions should unpack as much as possible within the function definition, frankly the "if" macro is completely superfluous to case and in rare cases cond. You'll find that you match the data you want, and thus reject anything else.

Square bracket dictionary accesses are a code smell, because you should be using %{^key = val} = dict or Map.fetch(map, key) or rarely Map.fetch!(map, key).

If you do that, managing typing in Elixir just boils down to defining structs to differentiate cases where dictionary A and dictionary B contain similar keys but strictly are not interchangeable.

Completely anecdotal but I was in Japan (mostly Tokyo but some surrounding cities as well) last week, and I saw so many young Japanese families with babies and toddlers I was thinking to myself "are those population headlines for real!?" I do believe the data, but I was a bit surprised by the number of babies I saw due to all the headlines I had read beforehand.
The problem with most of these GPT-4 experiments is because of the buzz around AI it's much more advantageous for a company to build their userbase on hype rather than efficacy. Everyone has FOMO and wants to be part of the infinite passive income game so whoever promises that with the greatest apparent clarity will win out in the end. Fake it until you make it (and by make it I mean that GPT-5 is released and automatically eases all the bottlenecks via just being a lot smarter)

> Okay:

> The obvious one is how many people will responsibly recycle their devices once replaced?

I agree, but my current anecdotal experience proves that there is considerably less friction for device recycling. Most, if not all, telco's will take an old mobile off your hands for recycling or refurbishing. Some will even accept trade-ins. Not sure what the situation with batteries is.

> ...so now I fail to see how device in drawer is worse than device and battery in landfill.

As bad not worse. It not being used. That means that it either can be recycled or refurbished and/or reused, except it's doing nothing. Materials that could be in use in some way aren't. In turn, new materials are needed, which adds environmental pressure. Small amounts add up. I can't see how this isn't a bad thing.
Hard agree. I'm really trying to figure out how to inject this idea into my friends' heads effectively. The main struggle I'm facing is how to convey the danger behind it. Why can it be deadly exactly? What can a program actually do to harm people, to the level where it's a risk of extinction or societal collapse?

Personally I didn't need to imagine a specific scenario to understand that there's risk, but I think it would help me convince other folks if I did.
