Why would Indian media be anti Hindu when the almost all of the 1. Electorate, 2. Government, 3. Corporations, 4. Media houses, 5. Rich are Hindu? I'd love to hear your explanation for that one. I don't disagree with your first point.
A bit difficult to take anything seriously that this hyperventilating dweeb says:

Both google and apple's car software are updated annually afaict, including major things like the mapping/navigation and turn-by-turn support.

I have an old car so know nothing more than:

* Android Auto and CarPlay exist
* They are regarded as being better than manufacturer provided software (but again I haven't used them)
* They get updated regularly

The last point is the one that I just don't see manufacturers doing, and even if they did I assume they'd require that to be a service center visit.
im curious which features you find powerful? as email clients go, it seems to be almost as basic as it comes, with many before it having far far more features.

I think there is yet another option we both didn't state, but an option that is also in use to this day. Some apps simply have multiple entries in the current AppStore model, and the version you currently have is very much separate from a possible 'future' upgrade. I'm not sure how they handle major upgrades on the back-end (perhaps tied to an in-app purchase or transferable purchase based on some sort of online account?), but this is a more 'hard' distinction between actual versions.

I suspect that this model has some downsides considering good security practise would prevent the apps from sharing their namespace contents. And for end-users they might end with "MyCoolApp 1" at first, but then "MyCoolApp 2, MyCoolApp 3, MyCoolApp 4" unless they delete the old one. I think some app vendors even use the year as the release distinction but in true software engineering fashion those years and the actual release date tend to be out-of-sync (just like MS Office).
Yeah I was afraid of that. Websockets are costly. Thankfully the approach doesn't completely depend on websockets so I have disabled it for now on the site.
I think the argument is that for the previous 100 years, Imperial Britain had deliberately encouraged violent divisions between the Hindu and Muslim populations as a means of exerting external control, again this is called a 'divide and conquer' policy.

Your argument is sort of like saying, just because the British gave them the dynamite, they're not responsible for lighting the fuse.
Yes, but we're not talking about Starlink. I'm talking about Othernet, which I mentioned above.

It is receive only-- not an uplink.

(I'm sure a tiny bit of RF leaks out of the LNB, but that could be mitigated as it is not designed for stealth).
No, harmlessness, helpfulness, honesty are separate components. See the paper. A model could be very helpful and tell you everything you want to hear, but at a cost of engaging in deception. E.g. in regards to politically incorrect information.

Nasdaq closing auction ends at 4pm. Reports come out later. Participants trading on 8-K cannot trade the news immediately. Orders can be executed only on Monday during opening auction. Also, you assume their trades are enough to move the market and neutralize the opportunity, which may not be the case. Perhaps they can trade off market. I’m just saying that it may not be a done deal as you describe it, but I may be missing some aspects.

I deliberately re-read what I wrote last week, last month, last year, last decade and a quarter century ago, less frequently with each jump, to be sure I'm conscious to what extent my beliefs about the world have changed, what I was wrong about and why and to re-examine past beliefs in light of present knowledge.

Google and Facebook among others actually provide a means to fetch periodic dumps of my data for this purpose, on sites like HN I use their history mechanism to look back through what I wrote e.g.

> The First Sale doctrine gives people who _buy_ something all rights needed to make use of it.

> It is... disappointing that modern courts have allowed the First Sale doctrine to be watered down so that today there's every chance you will buy something, paying good money, and then be confronted with new "terms" for how you may use the thing you purchased. But it's not in general clear that such an approach is legal.

The Steam Deck probably doesn't have much wider margins than a Switch or a Playstation. It might be sold at a profit, but the base $400 model is a pretty ridiculous deal already. Gabe Newell was upfront about the pricing process being painful for the hardware. He he also said that piracy is a services problem though, and the Steam Deck proves that in spades - if the default experience is superior, why bother with the competitors? You don't need to lock out the user to make that point.

If anything, the iPhone is the odd one out for having hardware margins that don't suck.
Odds are that well-resourced attackers already have the exploit by now. Making it public lets users decide if this is important to them and come up with their own mitigations.
> are just frustrations that don't have to do with the core innovation that Bluesky promises to deliver, and are instead confusing the AT protocol to be another ActivityPub-related protocol, rather than something completely different.

AtProto is designed to be a federated protocol. The issue I have is that it is not interoperable with the major standard used on the federated internet right now: ActivityPub. You can built protocols on top of each other. Instead of doing that, Bluesky built a confusing alternative that is difficult to implement and difficult to work with.

> In fact, it misses that having pull-based indexes is part of the idea of separating data publication vs. data curation.

Mastodon does this already. There is literally an 'explore' part of the app that is completely separate from the feed and does not rely on ActivityPub.

You cannot 'publish' content without having some sort of a federation protocol to go overtop of it, to network things together and send your content to the people who follow you. There is nothing about ActivityPub that makes a single global view impossible or hard to implement.

Lotus 1-2-3 was the spreadsheet that sold 10 Million PCs.
When you need a quick what-if calculation, it was the go-to. Then on the Mac, someone came out with a SpreadSheet as a desk accessory. Fpx Pro was a very simple data base, and WordStar was the king of word processing. SideWays also had a Lotus 1-2-3 driver for the extended EGA modes, 43x80, 43x132, and 50x132, That worked perfectly on a VGA card on a super crisp Sony 15" Trinitron, 0.25 stripe pitch.
> The tricky thing is that receiving radio transmissions is also usually detectable

A LNB is pretty quiet to begin with... and the LO is on the same frequency whether you're watching satellite TV or tapping into Othernet. You could, of course, make it much quieter still. Just because a lot of receivers leak a lot of oscillator and mixer frequencies doesn't mean it's intrinsic.

> and a transceiver has to, by it's nature, transmit.

Which is why I was talking about a receive-only approach. (Well, also for reasons of scalability).

> While imperial Britain has much to take blame for in South Asia, the partition is not really one of them.

I’m going to disagree; however little direct control they exert at that point, the imperial power always bears significant responsbility for the costs of problems that accompany imperial collapse.
How sensitive is the phone's "I'm being tracked" algorithm? It doesn't go by tag owner but by Bluetooth Mac.

If I I buy 4 tags, register them all to me, overwrite the firmware on one so it rotates between 4 IDs, once every 15 minutes, then the phone won't see the tag as following it. Hell, you could glue 4 of them to transistors, a power supply, and a circuit to turn them on and off in rotation without modding the firmware.
I can't find anything online to support that.

Everything I find says that to be illegal, something must be against the law, and that a contract is not law, so the word "illegal" doesn't apply to breach of contract because it's private.

There is a difference between illegality and criminality however -- e.g. breaking the speed limit is illegal but it doesn't reach criminal, as one source uses as an example.
Yeah, it's quite readable even for AI noobs.

Cool that KVM seems to be in the cards in the future. I didn't get the impression that GP meant emulating iOS itself on Android though.
> reason about safety of computer vision in automated driving

An interesting analogue. I think we simply aren't going to reason about the internals of neural networks to analyze safety for driving, we're just going to measure safety empirically. This will make many people very upset but it's the best we can do, and probably good enough.

AWS Glue is one way to waste a lot of money, due to memory allocation issues. It's sometimes hard to debug and optimize. Also, even when using the cost estimator, the actual cost is less clear until after the run.

It'd be cool to have Glue surface preliminary reports on estimated job performance and areas for improvement (e.g., spark optimizations), before the job run begins.
Actually, speeding is criminal in many states.
JSON defines absolutely no semantics for numbers, only the syntax. Some implementations do handle 0 and 0.0 differently.

See also: the problems with stuffing a high magnitude integer like 2^60+7 into a JSON document, and then unpacking it in JS using the standard web browser API. The number can't be represented exactly with the standard JS number type, but it's a valid JSON document, and so the implementation has to make a choice.

I was waiting for you to arrive, not you literally but some propaganda machine, I've moved to the US last year for higher education, and fortunately for me here I was able to meet a lot of Pakistani's. And not once did anyone say anything against India or me. In fact even the older generation was so thoughtful, and recognized our shared culture and history. And they were sometimes more friendly and less judgemental than fellow Indians here.

> Do you know what is officially taught in schools for India (and Hindus)?

Please enlighten me, how a govt controlled curriculum, doesn't affect what's thought in schools. Which is exactly what my point was and BJPs influence on NCERT in the past few years are no better.

If you come outside the bubble of propaganda between both the countries, you quickly realize how played the citizens of both nations are.

Just how good can China get at generative AI?
Lots of interesting points.

I definitely think the line of argumentation that even humans aren't a general intelligence is an unhelpful one that's also just wrong on an intuitive level.

Though what's becoming clear to me is that the effect that being part of a multi-agent system has on a single agents ability to generalize is enormous and likely to be quite important when thinking about AGI too.

Also what's becoming clear is that the possible state space of what might constitute something that could be called AGI is likely enormous.

I'm mostly interested in it from X-risk perspective of what properties of an AGI system are necessary and sufficient to pose existential risk and what are the visible thresholds you would need to cross on the path to such a system coming into existence?

I think Othernet is really cool. Don't even need a big dish. In 2kbps, they fit in RSS news feeds (BBC, Al Jazeera, Boing Boing, and others), APRS messages, WikiNews, global winds report, a daily Voice of America news report.

There's easily thousands of such bugs hidden in the kernel.

Final related point: I establish care when I move to a new location but I have never had a medical provider do something like actively reach out and e.g. schedule me for yearly physicals. The closest thing is people reaching out to administer flu and covid shots. When I was younger I had to have physicals to participate in sports, but as an adult it's like I'm supposed to only reach out to doctors when a problem occurs. It's all reactionary. There's not a good pattern for establishing regular care and maintaining a preventative, nutritional, etc. dialog with a health professional. How do I bill "preventative nutritional consultation" to my insurance provider? We can do it for dental hygiene, why not nutritional and metabolic? The modern state of nutrition feels like pseudo science "neighborhood" gossip. We hated fat. Then we went organic. Then we disliked processed foods. Paleo. Then we hated carbs. Now that's not cool anymore either. When in reality it's probably all of the above.

My wife has thyroid problems and they're not diet related (at least we've been told). The whole process of advocating for her health has been exhausting. The resolution of her "case" was not driven by people we were paying to advise us and keep track of things. It was driven by us. We had to make sure medical records showed up in the right spots. We had to make sure appointment scheduling didn't get dropped. We had to reach out to make sure follow up visits and analysis were completed as advised in previous visits directly from the health professionals themselves. I've noticed differences by location where we've lived. It's better where we are now. But it's still very very reactive. Oh you got pregnant? Why didn't you have a conversation with us about starting prenatals? Did we check your TSH levels and make sure you were in a good zone? Shit like that is infuriating... (we did both for the record, but imagine the feeling if you answered no, which I would suspect is all too common).
Where does it say that you have to migrate to v8? There's nothing on that page that says you can't continue using your old "lifetime" license for, well, a lifetime.

On the other hand, if you want to upgrade, I think it's reasonable to expect that you only get the new updated version if you pay whatever they decide to charge for. You, of course, are entitled to vote with your wallet if you don't think the price is fair.

Am I missing anything?

ps: no relationship with AgileBits, other than being a customer since the days of "lifetime" licenses, and now a happy subscriber of their family plan.
Right, that’s just citing sources. Even if your source is only one book (the Cliff Notes model).
The very first line is this:

"Scientists have released a study of their 2021 discovery of the world's second-deepest blue hole off the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula coast."

I wasn't the best at grammar, but I'm pretty sure the word "their" refers to the scientists, who found it in 2021.

Who did you think the article could have been talking about discovering it if you were so confused?

My guess is you knew exactly what it meant but were triggered and looking for something to be offended about.

To press the issue, how do you feel about Columbus discovering North America? Keep in mind no one has ever claimed that Columbus was the first human to lay foot in North America.
