Eh, I think they’re more than “a bit of a pain” in Australia. Bushfire season always kills a few people every year, but it’s only because of us taking fires very seriously and having defense in depth and early evacuation protocols that it doesn’t kill way more. There are cases like 2009 where more than 170 people died, which still may not sound like much for a population of 20 million, but it was mostly in the Kinglake and Marysville areas (roughly 100 deaths out of the area’s population of several thousand). It is a very grave risk with very serious mitigation efforts that largely work. If fire management and response were to break down even a little bit, though, the number of deaths will skyrocket. XPRIZE success on wildfires will be deeply appreciated here.

No seriously, I can't answer that either.
Funny, I thought it was the people who died or were seriously injured due to the bridge collapse who paid the highest price for the engineers’ failures.
I’m confused, if the “concern is subsiding” then how do you conclude in your previous comment that “once in train could not be prevented”?

Those ideas seem to be at odds and support the suggestion that the conclusions of climate science are always the same: doom.

I can’t understand why these sort of studies don’t take a probabilistic or temporal approach to their conclusions. In this way they could be better used to inform policy, in their current state they just instill fear. Something like “we calculate P=0.9 for circulation collapse to begin by 2050. To reduce this P to <0.02 would require emission reduction to accelerate by an additional 10% per year” would actually be actionable, and allow further debate to solidify findings.

If you told me P=.99 for collapse of ocean ecosystems I would be much more likely to listen than if you tell me “ocean current destabilisation is ‘worse’/‘better’ than we thought.

I hate embedded browser UIs like electron stuff as much as you do, but you're pointing your blaming finger in the wrong direction:

What do you expect application developers to do in absence of a natively compiling cross-platform GUI lib that is both good and with a nice licensing terms (e.g. a permissive open source license)? To put their application development on ice so as to develop that (which is a huge task in itself)?

If you want this situation to change and shitty browser-based UI to not be the go-to solution (for lack of a better cross-platform alternative for application developers), then feel free to go ahead and develop a native-compiling cross-platform GUI lib that plays in the same league as Qt, and make it available under a permissive open source license (unlike Qt).
Would you mind to explain shortly what co-iteration is?

Usually "co-things" are "things backwards". But I can't imagine any "inversion" of iteration.

Besides maybe something akin to "generators"—where you put some computation in and get a, possibly infinite, stream of things out; in contrast to iteration, where you put a sequence of things in and get the result of applying some computation to individual things out.

But the description above doesn't sound like anything related to generators.

Also, does the "different representations" part imply that it's possible to generalized over iterating for example arrays-of-structures and structures-of-arrays? Is sparse data an inherent part of co-iteration?

Which is a huge downside.

> But so what, at least it's fast

So is an RDBMS for most read/write workloads. Few will see an overall benefit from Cassandra and the labor needed to replicate the conveniences offered by an RDBMS.

> it's about storing data

It's not about storing data, it's about using data to accomplish business objectives with the promises that entails. You opt for something like Cassandra/Scylla because it solves a technical challenge otherwise untenable or more expensive, but it's a poor choice if your problem is reasonably solved with what Postgres can offer.
I am a tea worm, I use to consume several kg of tea annually. I have often saw recommendation to not overheat tea over some degree of Celsius but when I try this I found the tea not ready. In fact I use to do opposite: I preheat the cup or teapot before throw some tea in it for making the tea even hotter.
I'd say being a confidence man is secondary. Primarily, he seems to have some sort of mental illness. He's paranoid, and seems quite unstable. It's likely he has delusions of grandeur and considers himself a major force behind saving millions or billions from COVID.

I suspect if pushed to replace himself as governance for GISAID (which I suspect he controls alone... I doubt the mentioned technical or governance boards exist) he may well lock off all access to the data that's accumulated or even delete it to prevent someone from taking it from him.

I just imagined we could look at the oldest example of intelligence in human history. In contrast with AI, our chauvinism has us tend to pretend even the earliest monkey had it, fish?, insects? etc If it can rub 2 sticks together it gets the diploma.

Turing test is easy, I had 2 chat bots talk about other users in the channel while besides some trigger words ignoring what those other users had to say. The human subjects got angry successfully which means it was important to them.

Even temporarily imitating D players for longer than a few unsourced articles on the internet might be a start until we start getting hand wavy about B players being threatened.

I'm honestly not even sure what world we are debating. Some hypothetical one in the future when AI fills some ideal trajectory we aren't even close to being capable of predicting in some near-term measurable timeframe?

I'm as pro-exponential tech trajectories as they come but I sometimes wonder whether we get lost in scifi novel thought experiments disconnected from reality because we want that to be real rather than having some tangible connection to today (and today's political implications).

"As for AIs taking over, that will come via the corporate route." What does this even mean practically in 2030 given what we know exists in 2023?
It occurs to me that I have no idea what anyone means by just about anything anymore. I don't know what culture is supposed to mean. I don't know who people who have problems with culture think can actually fix culture (it's never the government from what I can tell; they tend to be very anti-government). I don't even know what they mean by positive male role models - Bill Gates? Elon Musk? Joe Biden? Donald Trump? Tom Hanks? Dave Chappelle? The Pope? There seem like a near infinite number of possible role models, but I don't know what is supposed to be positive.
Varities of Chinese and Japanese green teas differ in their processing techniques so much that they require different preparation techniques as well. They possess distinctly different flavours, too.

Most Japanese green teas are steamed past the harvest time – lightly (gyokuro), or more thoroughly (sencha), or anywhere in between depending on the grade – and some varieties can also be roasted (e.g. yabukita). Japanese green tea generally requires milder water temperatures for a preparation. Typically, the higher is the grade, the lower is the temperature, e.g. from 60ºC for gyokuro and high grade matcha to 80ºC for sencha. Gyokuro and matcha, prepared at the right or slightly lower temperature, has a lot umami flavour with a little bit of sweetness in it.

Varieties of the Chinese green tea is either lightly roasted (without being steamed nowadays) or lightly fermented. They need higher water temperatures, typically in a range between 80ºC and 90ºC. High grade Dragon Well prepared at the 80ºC temperature has a unique flavour that I don't know describe, but it will have almost no flavour is a lower temperature is used.

Assuming you're talking about AGI/consciousness/intelligence, then whether you're right depends on what you mean above by saying that "you cannot solve the problem".

- If you mean "you cannot EXPLAIN AGI/consciousness/intelligence if you don't understand it", then that's true, but it's a trivial tautology.

- If you mean "you cannot DEVELOP AGI/consciousness/intelligence if you don't understand it" then that's very debatable.

Historically we have been able to develop all kinds of things, despite not knowing how they work. Tinkering and trial and error is often enough.

After all that's how evolution solved the problem of creating consciousness/intelligence. There wasn't some entity that "understood" intelligence that created it.
Your project is doomed to failure unless you actually take the time to understand copyright. You have clearly already skipped that step, so you should go back to it before you do anything else.

For one thing, everything is copyrighted automatically. A creator uploading a work that they just created is uploading a copyrighted work. What you need to do is to ensure, somehow, that only the owner (or a licensee) of that copyright uploads the work.

And no, there is no service or API or ai bot that can help you. If I write a story tonight, I automatically own the copyright on that story and there is no way for that hypothetical ai bot or API to know about it.

Lawyers learn about this stuff in law school. At minimum, you need to find one of their textbooks and read it. Then you need to hire a lawyer of your own to advise you.
This video explains hypersonic weapons in the general sense. But the threat is from the newer advanced hypersonic weapons that are steerable at low altitudes. There is no "I know where it is going and can intercept" as the speaker claims since where it is going changes dynamically.

I hope I am the one who is misunderstanding the technology but every time I see someone talk with absolute certainty or with an appeal to authority they are often wrong some way.
Doing the cleanup to get the kind of accuracy he was shooting for would take as long as creating it by hand.

Solving COVID: Pfizer starts research in January 2020. Apparently they avoided Operation Warp Speed because they were worried about the government slowing them down [0]. We get a successful mRNA vaccine for I think the first time in history? Takes a few days, they've been preparing for this sort of scenario for years.

Estimated cost, $1 billion. The only thing slowing them down is legislation - they want to make money by resolving people's medical issues with novel techniques.

Solving Long COVID: NIH $1 billion. Nothing. Probably the biggest problem here is that groups like Pfizer are being banned from doing research by an NIH ethics committee that says trading 1 life to save 1,000 is an unacceptable trade.

Now I'm not against the NIH spending $1 billion on research. Better than feeding it into the military-industrial complex for example. But the evidence here is if you want a research team to fix a known problem, the people who know how work at Pfizer not the NIH. Now Pfizer probably can't do that trick of getting results on demand, but there'll be some company that can - assuming it is possible. There are a lot of companies so there are lots of attempts being made.

The more I think about this, the more it rings true. Implicit in the phrase "I have nothing to hide" is an assumption that everything is open to inspection by default, and concealment is deviance. In most situations, nobody assumes anything close to that. When they do, they're taking a supine position, like an animal submissively exposing its belly.

I have seen good works from the author, Meagan Fisher. She is a fantastic designer.

If you are good at coding your design work, you should say you are "a designer" rather than a "designer that code." You are an excellent designer, where your final work is the design -- the coding part is the means to your design end. People, clients, customers, and bosses will eventually realize that -- which is the icing on the cake.

Once upon a time, when I talked to potential clients or even new companies, I tended to outline what I could do all the way; some of the ideas were disruptive, putting the other person in a defensive mode.

A CEO (my boss who invested in my Startup) gave me some advice, one of the many best advice I got in life.

Instead of saying you can do all, pick the one with the highest impact and get in. Once you are in (either a new company, new client, or new group), start executing beyond what you said you do. Now that you are in, it is much easier for others to appreciate your extra abilities than when you were outside.

Yes, it is way better to mockup prototypes directly in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, but the output is the "design work." Be an excellent designer; you just happen to know how to code that.

In my experiences of working with quite a few brilliant design-coders, who are way better than me, it is easier for coders to become designers -- understand the concepts, recognize the patterns, etc. without being anywhere near artistic.
Nothing! It's just good to see some language diversity here.
The law isn't there yet if you want crypto to work. But Gensler wants to kill crypto, and for that simply applying the existing rules fairly will do.

Crypto doesn't have an inherent right to have the laws rewritten to enable it, it needs to make the case for why that would be good for the public. So far it hasn't.
Wonderful, thank you so much!!
> The actual thing that the debt ceiling does is stop the Treasury from issuing debt to pay for things Congress has already decided to pay for.

Maybe we should revisit those decisions. Even individuals revisit decisions, it is insane that we don't revisit certain decisions.

Even if we agree to pay for things, is the government at peak efficiency? There is so much wastage at every level in the govt. Rather than blame Republicans, maybe ask why Democrats are against a more efficient govt (that can still be large and fund their pet programs).

The problem is these drugs aren't being presented as dangerous pharmaceuticals that still have worthwhile cost-benefit ratios for certain serious conditions. Instead the "drugs are good" crowd actually argues, laughably, that they're completely safe, and safer than alcohol (I don't drink, btw), despite extremely good observational data suggesting moderate drinking doesn't increase all-cause mortality, while no similar data at present exists for these drugs.

Here's an example of something they never discuss: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/06/06/hppd-and-the-specter-o...

The "microdosing" fad is one of the best examples of how uninformed people are about the dangers of psychedelics, thanks to the propaganda. If I polled 100 of these microdosers at random and asked them about 5HT2B, do you honestly think more than half would know what I was talking about, and what my concerns are? Yeah, some are highly informed and know what risks they're taking, but they're the exception.
I think it's clear the poster means "material the users do not own the rights to" by "copyright material".

There has been more near misses in the nuclear industry than tsunamis. After Fukushima about all plants in the west had to install independent core cooling because the regulators realized the risk was systemic, even though the cause was special in the case of Fukushima.
