Tangentially related, I was always intrigued whether it is possible to “record” someone’s inner monologue, when they actively move their vocal cords/folds, but not produce any sound. I think that you might get enough data to reconstruct sentences given that know which language to find words in.

Starship isn't just about price, but also fairing volume. And fairing volume is one of the major factors that drives telescope design.

I feel like you must have a specific use case for which AirDrop fails more often.

I use AirDrop all the time for various things, and it mostly works as expected. It almost always works correctly when it's transferring between two of my own devices; the only issue I think I regularly encounter is when airdropping to another person's device. But I do not AirDrop particularly large files, so perhaps something goes wrong there.

That said, among average users, AirDrop is pretty consistently considered to be a great feature. I witness this occasionally in-person, but also in online discussions.
This is a good list but is almost more accurately called a list of modeling languages.
At the very least it’s a very particular interpretation of specification, which makes sense from a TLA+ expert but is incomplete.

In particular I think there are a few candidate ur-specification languages that could be included:

* first-order logic, this captures what almost every deductive verifier uses, and has a surprisingly rich diversity in features.

* concurrent separation logic, this was a breakthrough development and every language for specifying concurrent programs is some flavor of this now.

* dependent type theory? The big issue is that as the author points out, taxonomies fail. Dependent type theories give rise to languages which are both “specification” and “programming” languages.

If you like this, you might enjoy The Price We Pay[0] by Marty Makary. It talks about the incentives in the US health system, and how they combine to create a system where even people with insurance can end up with unmanageable medical debt.

The book points out both genuinely bad actors (e.g. companies that pay kickbacks to medical staff for pushing patients into unnecessary helicopter rides) and also problems that happen due to the design of the system, despite the best intentions of individual actors.

This argument used to be made in Korea, yet the country seems to have transitioned to alphabetic writing without issue. A lot of the tax of reading phonetic scripts of Chinese or Japanese is that fluent speakers are simply not at all used to it, even if they can read it.

For example:

Well, now I feel a little better about having quit my job to work on creating "digital ant farm meets mental health app", hah.

That said, I have mixed feelings about the article. On the one hand, yes, there are very few, if any, objectively correct answers on how to live life and so pursuing your own, unique truth is empowering. On the other, humans are notoriously poor at accurately weighting long-term vs short-term benefits. Plenty of things feel right in the moment, YOLO and all that, but dwindle as more information becomes available and doors close.

Maybe I'm just projecting my own insecurities onto what I see others doing, though? As an example, a friend of mine was recently laid off. We both live in SF and they work in Customer Satisfaction for tech companies. They had recently switched jobs and, when they were laid off, they received four months of severance after having only worked for their employer for two months. They felt like they had just received a gift, didn't care about the macro-economic environment, and decided it was time to travel to Costa Rica and participate in an Ayahuasca retreat. They were so moved by their experiences that they skipped their original flight home and extended their stay in paradise a week. As they shared their story with me and my friends, I felt uneasy for them and their situation. They seemed intentionally oblivious to the changing labor landscape and I became worried for their financial well-being, but, to them, the decisions all felt right, the layoff was a blessing, and jobs always work out - right?

Who knows! Everyone has to live their truth and it's entirely possible their view plays out well and I'm just a worrywart, but, from my perspective, they were overvaluing the pursuit of doing weird things that feel right. Similarly, I'm sure plenty of my friends find my actions to be reckless. Quitting a job without another lined up is something society speaks openly against.

It will always be tough to make objective counter-arguments against living one's truth since luck plays a non-trivial role in all of our lives.

The FBI crime statistics I cited [0] show that whites have one of the lowest per-capita homicide rates. Specifically, the white+Hispanic [1] homicide rate is 1.16 per 100k, while the Black rate is 7.98. So which data are you referring to? Because the data I can find supports the exact opposite of your claim.

[0] https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

[1] Due to how the FBI reports Hispanic ethnicity separately from race, it is difficult to calculate homicide rates for whites and Hispanics separately, so for this comparison the white+Hispanic rate will have to suffice.

> I know customers are dumb and are easily impressed by cheap gadgetry, but why did we have to throw the baby out with the bath water?

I don't think it's about gadgetry. I think there are a few other things going on. None are really pro-consumer, in my opinion.

- Software can be updated. Overhauling mechanical parts is way harder. This lets the manufacturer go a little quicker with development - you can "fix it in post."

- Software can be easier to reuse across models of vehicles (in theory). "We'll figure out software-based tailgates just once, and can use it everywhere."

- Software can be controlled remotely. For example, Ford filed a patent to disable cars remotely if the owner misses a payment [0].

- Software can help build a monopoly on maintenance. Electronically controlled stuff is way harder (even impossible) to diagnose if you don't have maintenance software and computers to interface with the car. So the manufacturer can control more of the maintenance chain.

There's presently an on-going war between Somalia and Somaliland. Have you heard much about it? To be sure, it has received some coverage from western media, but I haven't heard many people talking about it. There has been virtually no mention of it on Hacker News. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been displaced but almost nobody except the usual war voyeurs are talking about it.

The average westerner, left or right, doesn't care about refugees unless they can somehow relate to them (they look the same or have a relatable lifestyle) or unless those refugees start showing up at the borders of western countries.

I'm a little bit confused about what the author's intent is here. They seem to be strawmaning quite a bit. I can guarantee that not all of the people with AI safety concerns are of the opinion that things are done safely just because you can observe them happening... For one, many would argue that we are currently observing it happening without appropriate response. For two, many are concerned that the response will not be appropriate once it is observed.

It is quite disappointing to see such a weak straw man coming out of a Stanford article. I guess it speaks to who maybe providing their funding.

I definitely understand that the majority of taxonomies are problematic for the reasons you cited. When OP said "no such thing as a tree", I thought OP meant a taxonomic tree, not a literal plant tree, hence my example of binary numbers! Thanks for clarifying.

No, it's not fascist. What the anti-monarchists failed to mention is that the protestors were not arrested because they were protesting, they were arrested under suspicion of attempting to lock-on[1] but were later released without charges because of a lack of evidence. There is a debate to be had about what a peaceful protest is but frequently people use the right to disrupt other people's lives such as blocking roads. I don't think there should be a human right that can deny other people the right to use public roads and paths. That would deny others the right to protest peacefully also.

Unfortunately both the Obama and Biden administrations have been pretty bad on immigration and refugees. We’re about to have a very foreseeable crisis in 2 days when Title 42 expires.

Such as?

More to the point, and putting ecocide and genocide in a similar ballpark, doesn’t anyone remember Rwanda anymore? Or Srebrenica? (this latter labeled technically as a massacre). Does anyone believe that those atrocities could have been stopped by “harsh words” alone? Or by economic sanctions? They weren’t.

Enforcement in this case means imposition of force, which in an inter-state situation means invasion or, at the very least, a military attack (see Kosovo in ‘99, technically not an invasion).
I recently did a gig with a quad cortex and honestly I couldn't shake the feeling of just wishing I could have all my Plugins (FabFilter, SoundToys, NAM and NeuralDSP mostly) instead. iPad, good interface, some bluetooth switch/expression pedal and all the same plugins I have at home would be amazing for me.

Just curious if anyone knows. Suppose a band of the future is just a few players who show up with iPads (guitar, bass, key/synth, drums) and, where relevant, a control surface (midi controller, edrums, etc). Does Logic have a "federated" mode? Can each iPad synchronize to a shared click track or other backing tracks for lights, etc or does the "brain" of a performance still need to be centralized?

Edit: I'm wondering if that "federated" functionality could be used to reduce the amount of gear required for a band using IEMs. That would be a _killer_ use case.

I'm super excited about this though and really looking forward to a major step forward at least in the guitar world.

There is only one solution to "hate speech" and that is not making it taboo and subjecting it to censure. The solution is more better speech. That being said one must define "hate" and it's opposite corollary, love. The modern misconception is love is nice. That has and always will be incorrect. Love is not nice, but love is kind. Kindness will always warn a person away from destruction, even if they don't like or welcome it. Hate is "nice" to the person that hates and only tolerates a person. It does not hold inherent value in the person but only in their status and ability to serve the desires of the hater.

Warning others in kindness and love can only be achieved when our speech is free.

I am not aware of a single product person in Google. They are very much a tech company. They make / research and develop technology and search for a solution.
although I believe the big tech companies are doing their very best to capture attention at all costs, it is a good question to ask why people are in a position to spend so much time on social media and are doing so in place of other activities. For example, the lack of public spaces where one can spend time without spending money, relatively recent parenting practices and legal obstacles to having unsupervised time outdoors, etc.
