> If your parents didn't stop you, would you be able to choose and have only 1-2 servings of your favorite sugar snack? or if left alone would you go through a long process of rationalizing just one more and before you know it the entire bag is gone.

"You can't eat just one." Fortunately I seem to be able to easily resist the lure of potato chips/crisps and actually feel full after eating a few of them. I think the greasiness or fat content helps. I can enjoy the hyper-palatable salty, savory and spicy versions but a 200kcal bag is really overkill.

But some hyper-palatable foods are so well optimized that they can be really hard to resist; they press all of the buttons of deliciousness while making you hungry for another one.
Apple allows many bad billing practices as long as they get a 30% cut. Not as many, but many.

If Apple wanted to, they could block bad practices and either allow external processors or charge a pure payment processing fee. Their current actions seem to be more concerned about the fees than the customers.
Well , can you really define AGI? Doesn't your definition of AGI change? Tons of people would already regard gpt4 as AGI ( though i think it is definitely not yet). We humans don't even fully understand our own intelligence and conciousness. We can't really define our own intelligence in a definte way. eg If your definition of AGI is it has a soul like some belive we are , then we will probably never have AGI as it can never be proved. For me, if an 'AGI' can have human like general behaviour/intelligence of better-than-average humans than it qualifies as AGI. I don't really care it is just statistics deep down just like we are just a bunch of molecures connecting to each other in some particular way.
Very much false.

They arrested him, and many others, because he's demanding the constitutionally mandated elections be held. He'd been going to court for cases like terrorism because of "blasphemy".

He's a major threat to the very corrupt army and dynastic parties. All other parties have joined in a coalition with the army. The only opposition is Imran Khan.

Sharifs: The head of one has been in self exile in London while he made his brother prime minister. His daughter and nephews run the party. He was found to have been hiding money when the Panama papers came out.

Zardaris: Was prime minister when Osama bin Laden was found hiding in Pakistan. Known as mr 10%. His niece and disgraced generals accused him of killing Bhuttos. He's made his son the heir to the party.

Of the top 10 richest folks in Pakistan are Sharif & Zardari.

Imran Khan is not. Instead earned most of his money through cricket when he led Pakistan to the only World Cup victory. Then he'd opened the best hospitals in Pakistan that treat most patients (all of them desperately poor) for free. Then founded/created an entirely new party that after decades came to power.

I recall those days. To be fair, it was asking a lot of the hardware at the time to run both a browser and Java itself. I also recall the JVM had painfully slow start times that weren't rectified for years. These were also largely the 1.x versions of the language to boot.

On top of it all, Java integration was really just an excuse to plop a grossly out of place app UI in the browser window. Would have been much better if we could have had deeper behind the scene integration with the DOM layer.

should have re-written it in rust.
I think the real killer of Java in the browser was Flash. It was still terrible, but Flash was way more accessible.
"Mozilla no longer cares about Thunderbird" is not fully true. Gecko developers routinely take into account the impact on TB when doing changes / refactorings.
After the browser took off, ignoring and missing things became the main objectives of Mozilla.

Flush with Google money, the voices of highly technical people with a mission were overpowered by the voices of professional non-technical people with an agenda.

I'm not even getting into the woke stuff, but Mozilla saw themselves as the "Open [insert new stuff]" stewards. They saw companies constantly building moats and ( understandably ) wanted to create an "open" alternative:

Remember the phone OS stuff? Pocket? Servo? Rust managed to survive before the axe came. Raindrop, VR stuff, even IoT..

Since they lost almost all relevance in the browser "market", management somehow "managed" to re-frame their identity to a company that creates cool projects about the latest trend and then lets them rot since they have no traction and eventually closes them.

Google does that too, but Google makes billions of dollars and can support all that "exploration", Mozilla doesn't and it will rot away until they close operations.

I use Firefox since the Phoenix days, and I like it btw.
I think the issue is that by the law’s definition, Huckleberry Finn contains hate speech. And many other items.

So everyone has hate speech and the government can selectively choose who to prosecute. And just the act of defense is punishment enough, so the law is bad on that account.

If everyone in the country has an illegal gun then the law would be similar. In this case the law is not properly able to be enforced. In the US this would render it invalid.
> "We regard political conservatism as an ideological belief system that is significantly (but not completely) related to motivational concerns having to do with the psychological management of uncertainty and fear."

This whole article is about how & whether to grapple with uncertainty & fear. There's a disposition to try to convince ourselves that the other sciences can give us good data, that research beyond just doing it is good & valuable. Get validation! That's a business cry, from people who believe in business ends. But whether these lo-fi facimilies of data really represent what the real answers are is the question.

This article tries to sell just doing it. But really, it's a hit job against the business types. It's a hit job against the non believers. Either get on the wagon & try for it, or get the heck out. Don't make the process of doing it worse. That's what most searching for validation is. This is entirely an issue of political alignment, of positive versus negative politics.
>The intermediate belt is also where exoplanet hunters once thought they had seen a world they named Fomalhaut b. But in 2020, Dr. Gaspar and his colleagues proposed that what other scientists had once thought was an intact exoplanet was actually an expanding cloud of debris created by an epic collision.

A problem with this idea was that this part of space looked vacant, so it seemed unlikely that two objects had managed to crash into each other. The team’s discovery of the intermediate debris belt has now proffered a solution.

“We now know there’s stuff there,” Dr. Christiansen of the NASA archive said. “OK, so it’s a collision — we can finally put that to bed.”

Cataclysmic melees are not just transpiring close to the star. What looks like a vast maelstrom of dust within the outer belt may be the ghost of another gargantuan impact.

“That’s just cool,” Dr. Christensen said. “What is it? It’s very tantalizing.”
>Does anybody have a credible source for what's really going on?

Everyone will have their own take, here is mine:

What it boils down to is that Imran Kahn is by far the most popular politician in Pakistan. He was Prime Minister of Pakistan in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. He refused to take sides in the conflict, despite pressure by the US. In March of 2022, Pakistan's Ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed Khan (no relation), sent a letter to the PTI government from his post in Washington DC saying that the US government was threatening to withdraw financial aid to Pakistan (at least $32 billion over the last 20 years) if they didn't get rid of Khan (denied by the US government). Days later Khan was removed as Prime Minister by a "no confidence" vote. Since then, corruption charges have been filed again Khan and thousands of his supporters have been surrounding Khan's home and repelling attempts by the government and the army to arrest him (until now). Now the situation is extremely volatile as the extremely unpopular government, seen as deeply corrupt by the vast majority of Pakistanis (corruption is endemic there), has arrested the most popular politician in the country on charges of corruption.
Not quite answering your question, but the man page says

Conflicting lock combinations (i.e., a read lock and a write lock or two write locks) where one lock is an open file description lock and the other is a traditional record lock conflict even when they are acquired by the same process on the same file descriptor.
Mind reading Necromancers (probably) don't exist, but every example I listed above has already been deployed in a piecemeal manner in various countries the last 10 years.

Mass File Sharing Blacklisting has been enforced by Indian ISPs since 2019

VPN+ISP traffic log sharing has been enforced in Kazakhstan (along with SSL stripping)

Blocking Tor downloads has been implemented already (with varying levels of success) plus attacks to deanonomize Tor have started occurring since 2021.

Turkïye has implemented ISP Whitelisting ostensibly for Children but the same core technology can be extended to everything - https://internet.btk.gov.tr/guvenli-internet-hizmeti

App Store restrictions and region locks have existed in Mainland China since the early 2010s.

It's very easy to tamp down and censor internet based communications. Individual corporations have the capabilities to apply such censorship if they wanted to, let alone ISPs.

No, that's just you stupidly confusing price and cost.

It's not a POSIX file system. Instead it's more like S3. You could put something in front of it, perhaps, to make it POSIX.
Just so long as we're alert to how this can be twisted. Giving is great, but only so long as certain conditions are met.

For example, giving isn't great when you have no choice but to give. Take a fast-food worker. We could wax lyrical about the stress and time they save others in their community. But that probably doesn't feel so great to the worker because they get yelled at by irate customers and bosses more often than they get thanked, and they can't just quit because if they do they will be homeless next month. Giving isn't really giving if you can't say no.

For another example, giving isn't great when you're taking more than you give. A property manager can feel good donating some of their profits to charities, but if their rent increases are pricing existing residents out of their own neighborhood then it's all kind of hollow. Giving isn't really giving if what you're giving is what someone else was forced to give to you.

A lot of people turn to hedonism because society doesn't offer them truly eudaimonic opportunities. At least getting high and building a new Lego set doesn't come with the feeling of being used.
Are you claiming that BJP under Modi isn't pushing for "Hindutva", or that the latter is somehow "more inclusive" than the policies that preceded it?
Where I grew up, with a comprehensive taxpayer funded healthcare system that works I believe standard is you are given the option of surgery after dislocating your shoulder 3 times.

The thinking is a lot of people dislocate their shoulder, it pops back in with or without help and heals with no long-term damage. For a lot of patients it never happens again and surgery is not needed.

However, each time you dislocate your shoulder it gets easier to dislocate and is more likely to do doing damage that won't heal. So, don't go in for shoulder surgery until you are showing a pattern of dislocating it or have other lasting damage that requires repair.

For people other than Trump. It's been thinkable expected & all too predictable for this man for a long long time.

That he didn't even bother to show up to defend himself is basically a gargantuan cop out, to preserve distance from this verdict of guilt he'd most likely suffer.
Wow, thanks for the compliment. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to make it useful to a wider audience.

That's why I pointed to the 'process of partition'.

The border-lines were drawn by a man who had never visited India over a few months. They withdrew all state machinery overnight, and somehow expected 2 nations born into war to fare alright. Did they expect millions to cross borders and leave their homes behind without any resulting repercussions ? How is a country (Pakistan) divided in 2 by its biggest enemy (India) even supposed to work ? How are Sikhs supposed to live if the borders go right through their fields, dividing their 2 holiest sites ?

The Iraq invasion was stupid and immoral but there's no evidence it had anything to do with currency plans.
The Euro is indeed most likely to overtake the US dollar (although not anytime soon) but they are likely to remain close allies and the dollars status as a reserve currency isn't all upside anyways(it makes our exports less competitive)

I disagree.

If you gave the service away for free and allowed people to be anonymous, there would be no private data that needed managing. In the 90s, a major proportion of websites on the internet had forums like that, which people set up on a weekend (think phpBB). What the hosting provider charges is small change.

If you do charge, you suddenly have sensitive data to manage, either eating into your profit or creating a liability for you and taking away from people's privacy if you don't do it right. So much so, that it might even generate a loss at 50 bucks per year.
This is why farming subsidies exist - it's advantageous for both national security and economic security to have at least some crops grown within a nation's borders. Not so great if the nation specifically has a lower minimum wage for their agriculture workers, though.

Or you could get involved in public policy.

I assume there are some boffins somewhere in the US's $4 trillion dollar budget -- USDA, probably -- who are coming up with plans for things like "what if wheat is decimated by a blight?" or "what if Missouri is just, all flooded?". Probably a bunch of academics at various Midwest universities, too.

There are already grants and other public programs to support community gardens and local agriculture; a community garden should be the perfect place to apply permaculture.
I'm watching old movies for the same reason.

With the latest flood of look alikes I think we can save our time by just using AI to summarize.
Disagree, it’s great to run something programmatic thru GPT and get a human readable summary.
They cost a shit ton though because they have to run on mac mini AFAIK. It would most likely be way cheaper if there were to run on commodity hardware.
I'll assume you're mainly interested in tech skills. Soft skills obviously aren't specific to AI, although as the other commenters humorously point out, there are certainly differences between startups and big companies that you'll want to understand. One in particular is basically being comfortable with uncertainty and understanding how to navigate it. Good communication and emotional self-management are key here.

As far as tech skills, there isn't a one size fits all answer -- the landscape, even within "early-stage startups in the AI space", is simply too broad.

You can get a good idea of what tools are most commonly used in the area just by browsing the web, looking at blog posts and open source projects, etc.

More specifically, I recommend going to LinkedIn or whatever job posting site you prefer and finding a bunch (10-20?) job postings that really excite you and tallying up the most commonly required skills. Go learn those, build up a portfolio of online demos and git repos, and you'll probably be as prepared as you can be to navigate the job market.
It is great that you're in that position. You must be a very risk averse person as you're still asking this question even if you're already in a very enviable position. Quit your job now and focus on what you want to do (assuming if the job is not what you want to do if money is not a problem)
If I could afford the kind of healthcare Bill Gates can, I could poison myself every day without worry.
Before anyone jumps to conclusions, all this ruling means is that this example of an iOS virtual machine (for the purpose of security research) counts as fair use.

It doesn't exactly open the doors for everyone to run iOS in virtual machines.
You can offer safe payment authorization APIs that protect families without also forcing developers to pay you 27% on every microtransaction. One might even call that good OS design, rather than a subtly hostile pattern of funneling users through a contractually-obligated money siphon they have no control over.
I agree. What it documents is a little bit beyond the kind of mundane expectations-meet-reality story of alternative scenes as they grow into having a legacy. The author at his age knows that already: everything that became a big trend in past decades commercialized itself into uncool. But the article isn't a "dog bites man", it's saying something else.

What Berlin offers, by having one of the biggest and oldest legacies, borders on collective self-awareness of such. It knows some of both what makes parties a business, and also what makes them cool. And in the current era, it's been revitalized around new norms. It doesn't have to be a designated "cool party" to be that - it just has to have the "right kind of person" showing up and making it cool. And I think the article does get that across, even if it wanders a bit to do so.
Would love to know how much your opinion is based on the actual situation versus the headline or your imagination. Did you read anything past the headline? What is your basis for saying this is a dirtbag argument?

Separately, wouldn't you say that losing your fraud/abuse case is public punishment for making dirtbag arguments?

Thanks!
GP wasn't defending the system, just this specific decision. I'm no fan of the medical system myself, but this is an unfair take. There are plenty of examples of the medical system doing the wrong thing... no need to twist other examples to fit.

TBF though this could have been avoided if the doctor explained that studies were mixed (and even gave you a few studies as examples), and I'm not sure I believe the doctor actually knew studies were mixed.
Been using Alpine.js in a Ruby on Rails app for about 6 months now. It's a very cool, lightweight js library that I rarely see talked about.
I'm with you that people should be paying for services with money instead of their private data. If you were running a Slack/Discord alternative and wanted to charge for it, I'd support you. Maybe not 50 Euros support you up front, but I'd support you. You only need a few thousand users to make something like 10 Euros a year a lucrative side project, and I'm sure you could get people to pay more if you earned any trust at all first.

Where you lost me is that I don't need your help getting people together to talk about books. Sure, that's worth bringing some snacks, in person, which might add up to 50 Euros over the course of a year, but doing it on the internet with a bunch of unknown randos makes the value go down, not up. And putting a fixed price on it means you get less interesting people: on the one end, it excludes the broke intern who needs the mentoring the most, and on the other end, that senior, experienced, well-thought-out guy who brings a fuckton of knowledge to the table brings more value than the host just by opening his mouth.

Where you really go off the rails is this: "There's no motivation without the surveillance to give away all of this work for free." Yes, there is, actually. I don't know what it is about some people on Hacker News who can't comprehend that there are other motivations besides money. If you're only motivated by money, I don't want to be around you, let alone go to your book club.
But would supporting a Linux client bring in more money than it costs? I remember reading claims from other software projects that Linux was an insignificant percentage of their user base but a majority of their support tickets.
