Article author here. Thanks for making this point.

I agree that you want to minimize the amount of ECC on the tag and certainly you don't want each advertisement to require a separate EC op. However, I don't think the requirement is no crypto on the tag.

1. Each time you change keys (every 15 minutes in detached mode) you have to some EC crypto ops.
2. You could require attestation only prior to reporting, thus keeping the cost fairly low. Note that this does allow a nearby attacker to force you to do crypto but they can also cause you to run the speaker, which consumes power.
New Rolling-Square bridge – math and engineering behind
You'd be surprised at the variation present in complex assignments implemented by non-expert students. It turns out that doing things in buggy and randomly wrong or nonstandard ways leads to things looking more unique than they would if you had a group of experts implement them.

"Having the same bugs" is one of the easier ways to confirm cheating, at that.

Not just societies frankly -- people individually believe this as well, psychologists call it the "end-of-history illusion". Quoting Wikipedia:

> The end-of-history illusion is a psychological illusion in which individuals of all ages believe that they have experienced significant personal growth and changes in tastes up to the present moment, but will not substantially grow or mature in the future. Despite recognizing that their perceptions have evolved, individuals predict that their perceptions will remain roughly the same in the future.

iOS literally doesn't have "just there for storage" directories that are not icloud. Either you use the photos pool, or you use icloud, or you use per-app directories that are local to each app. But then those directories cannot be accessed by other apps. Even if access to individual files is implemented, it's often very buggy.

Say you have a pictures directory shared via Möbius Sync. Then you want to edit one of the pictures with a pictures editing app that is not the builtin photos app. The app crashes, or cannot save an edited copy of the file into the same directory. I encountered this in real life.

Oh you save a ton of money on produce and it's higher quality. I save seeds and don't have to buy new seed every year. I use woodchips, leaf compost, manure compost and whatever else free I can get close by. My neighbor has a huge pile of woodchips that he's offered so I've been using those instead.

This week I harvested morels which the local grocery store sells fresh for like $40/lb.

There is a catch, and that catch is you eat whatever is in season. It does require getting creative with recipes. I live in zone 6B and have fresh greens from April - December. Winter squash will store well into the spring. Nuts in the shell will last years. I have black walnuts that I harvested in 2019 that still taste great.

Alignment seems extremely likely to reduce risk relative to the near-certain destruction of unaligned AGI. I'm not saying we're done when we've figured out alignment, but we certainly shouldn't be charging ahead without solving alignment.

This happened me countless times. You go for help maybe having a hunch that something is not right. Describe symptoms and so on, only to be lightly dismissed. I honestly can't understand why isn't the rule for doctors when you visit them to at least ask: "When was your last blood test?" and then act accordingly either re-testing or analyzing previous tests. I'm not saying that all doctors proceed this way, but sometimes if you actually do not politely ask them to further analyse you, they won't. One of my siblings is celiac and it literally took many years to actually discover that if it wasn't for my mum endlessly trying to understand why at the time he was extremely tired spending way too many hours a day sleeping. All the technology that is available today that testing can discard options or at least follow clues on pursuing something else.

What's the argument that understanding neurons is necessary?

Perhaps intelligence is like a black box input to our bodies (call it the "soul", even though this isn't testable and therefore not a hypothesis). The mind therefore wouldn't play any more of a role in intelligence than the eye. And I'm not sure people would say the eye is necessary for understanding intelligence.

Now, I'm not really in a position to argue for such a thing, even if I believe it, but I'm curious what argument you might have against it.

Despite being a Boglehead (total-market index investor), who thinks that's the best tablescraps I can get, when I can't be in the club of the people who're making the real money from the systems...

I have idly wondered whether there's an viable opportunity to exploit retail investors who're being manipulated/misled (by, e.g., MSM financial 'news', stock-picker personalities, bloggers, WSB, etc.).

Then I realize I was considering actively profiting off the misery of other retail investors, and decide to just stick to my index funds.

> the capitalist one by prioritising roles that have value to those with capital (corporations etc.), and the Socialist one by prioritising value to the community

In the modern world, capital is typically created by providing value to community. There are exceptions, of course, but nobody will defend those exceptions (i.e. inheriting wealth or committing crimes obviously doesn't provide value).

The problem with socialists is that nobody knows what is the "value to community" and how to measure it, yet everybody has a strong opinion on it. That's why socialists are typically dictators: you need the arrogance to think that you know what is better for community than the community itself.

> There are always highly skills craftsman and experts in very specific fields whose work isn't limited to one workplace etc. But who is forbidding it?

Socialism. There's plenty of debate on self-employment in socialism, and socialists always settle on one of two points: either self-employment is strictly forbidden, or it is only allowed if we have some regulations protecting workers (but those could be implemented in capitalism too, which makes socialism pointless).

> Value is very subjective in Capitalism

Value is subjective by it's nature, and capitalism recognizes that. I'm not interested in debating the downsides of labor theory of value which offers "objective" measurements - the only people supporting it are zealots.

> I see Socialism as the possibility for all sorts of start ups

You seem to blissfully ignore the challenges socialism imposes on start ups. To begin with: who provides the capital?

> These countries are Socialist when a Capitalist wants to criticise them and Capitalist when a Capitalist wants to praise or excuse them.

No, they are always capitalistic: all of them are in favor of private ownership and market economies. I don't care what Bernie calls them.

> The abolishment of private property is Communist - not Socialist

This is false. But I'm really curious, what is your definition of socialism?
>Anything a textbook manufacturer wants to do other than be a set of dead tree leaves is a non-starter.

And Cuba has cars because...? Every country where people can afford cars, they buy them. If they can't afford them, they make a car they can afford.

Parent brought up people spending $700/mo to own a car. You can get a car much cheaper. Why do people buy nice cars? The person who hates mowing their lawn doesn't buy a fancy lawnmower. People buy nice cars because they like nice cars and want nice cars.

Personal vehicles solve a lot of problems that public transportation doesn't. If you only view cars as a way from point A to point B, you won't ever understand why cars are so critically important, desired and fought for.

Why does there have to be a Thunderbird at all? The people building Thunderbird are clearly motivated to build FOSS/Libre communication tools for people.

As more and more people move to using Android and ios as their primary computing environment, the existence of accessible FOSS/Libre tools such as Thunderbird becomes more important than ever.

So, if they're interested or dedicated to building open tools for people to use, they can choose where to go, whether you like it or not. :)

e: By the way, have you donated to Thunderbird? If you are able to pay for the software you use, especially when it seeks to be a force for good, then you should. Even $20 a year goes a long way for an organization like this.

Well the driving part doesn't matter, the thing we care about is how hard it is for someone to get to a place with affordable healthy food, however they get there. If it's an urban area where a significant portion of people don't have easy access to a car, then you wouldn't look at driving times.

These are called food deserts, and there is a ton of research on them. From what I've read there is not a direct line between food deserts and higher obesity rates, but it is a relevant factor, especially when abundant dollar stores and fast food places are offering cheaper and more accessible food than the nearest grocery stores (if there are any). I've also seen this described as a "food swamp".

I've never seen any research or data showing disparities in American obesity rates are influenced by cultural attitudes toward food.

I thought they had only applied the technique to 307,200 neurons.
1,000 / 307,200 = 0.33% is still low, but considering that not all neurons would be useful since they are initialized randomly, it's not too bad.
While, uh, no,
regardless, that has no bearing on my point, which is that your point claiming that [it is reasonable to treat A as evidence for B, but irrational/religious to treat B as evidence for A], is entirely wrong[1].

[1](... with the possible exception of observing something which one previously had assigned a probability of zero, but, this ideally should only ever happen for things where one at least had a positive probability density, in which case a similar argument should still work. I didn't feel like working out all the details in the case of continuous probability distributions, as it is finicky and in any case is irrelevant to the discrete events you mentioned.)
> So both these writes can be sequential.

In the worst case though, the long-term storage can still have random writes though no (for btrees anyway)? I figure LSM tree writes can always be sequential, even during compaction. But btrees can only do solely sequential writes if the entire tree needs to be rewritten. And you don't want to always do that if only parts of the tree need to be updated?

Permaculture has a much higher yeild, per unit of land compared to traditional western arible. The reasons are not really well understood. Possibly attention to pest levels, mixed crops, and much healthier soils (with a fucktonne of mushroom webs)

but permaculture isn't much different to subsistence farming.

But, the flip side is that industrial movement of food has stopped, limited or reduced the effect of localised famines.

> Another key bit seems to be not not doing the thing. That's a hard fight.

I was told to replace bad habits with other things. It didn't have to be some "good habit", but there had to be something else to fill the void left by the thing I wasn't doing. I had a list (I still have it somewhere) of healthy things that I enjoy, that I can do instead of falling into a porn binge (its been almost 5 years since I last willingly looked at porn) or a YouTube hole (that's been less than a week, small steps).

Having a list of other things to do, things I enjoy, made stopping unhealthy habits a lot easier. I didn't strap myself to "being more productive", rather I just replaced bad habits that produce dopamine hits with enjoyable things that produce dopamine hits.

I believe that you are missing a number of dimensions involved with the transmissibility when comparing the population and the population density which also factor in.

It would be akin to comparing the mortality rate for Vermont and New York (which hold the economic level relatively constant).

Vermont was 15.8/100,000 people while New York was 18.5/100,000.

Things like how much international travel and how much intra-region travel? How many cases were there before vaccination was possible?

Changing this to other units and using New York City in March of 2020 - living in NYC was 50 micromorts / day based on the excess deaths. So, each day have everyone in NYC go skydiving (8 micromorts per jump) 6 times and you'll have some people die from that... about 24,000 over the course of a month (data from https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/well/live/putting-the-ris... ). And that was with mitigation efforts in place.

I am not sure that it is fair to do a one dimensional "Bolivia was 0.7% mortality and UK was 0.3% mortality" because Covid hit at different times and had different amounts of transmissibility because of the different population densities which in turn impacted the amount that hospitals were able to care for people.

"The cost of borrowing will go by a factor of five"
The former, though it grows a little slower than Ack(N). If I read the paper write, they showed that an 18-state Petri Net has a worst case reachability problem on the order of Ack(3), and then every six states you add, n goes up by one. So a 24 state Petri net can take Ack(4) steps to decide, for a 30 state Petri net Ack(5), etc. This is just the decision problem, not the length of the path.

(The paper is actually works on *Vector Addition Systems*, but VASes are isomorphic to Petri nets.)

Note these are loose boundaries: adding at most six states will definitely bump the hardness by at least 1, but it might grow faster than that. At the end of the paper they note some people have gotten more precise boundaries, that 10-states is "Tower-hard" (Ack(3)), and every 2 states bumps it by 1. So worst case for a 12-state net is on the order of Ack(4), etc.
