I assume that business cards would have a unique email/end point to allow for this case, kind of like how gmail and others allow you to add +<stuff> to the end of your email address. So you'd have a set of "business card" emails + rules that would allow only the first sender to send emails to that address (for example).
This is a little confusing since it’s not just an access token (or refresh token) since the OP wants to verify that the sender is the correct sender, not just that they have access to the token. Otherwise a token holder could simply pass the token to spammers, still. This is harder since the sender could share his or her sender key, so you’d have to disincentive that, but doing so it going to make the system even more complex.
In other words: the Turing test turns out to be too easy.
I think they must have said they built a michelson interferometer and not that they ran an MM experiment. Basically same as the thorlabs kit (in fact it probably was the equivalent of that kit, but cobbled from edmunds, since thorlabs wasn't really big at the time).
Or why it should happen...
Careful, irony at that level has been found to cause cancer in laboratory animals.

In science you start with observed effects, then look for causes that explain, predict, or model the effects. You don't start with tin-foil hat theories with no physical basis (Polarization at wavelengths a million times longer than the structures supposedly being affected? Really?) and cast about looking for effects that your pet theories might explain.

These authors are looking for a smoking gun and they don't even have a corpse.

On reflection I've realised my point was nonsense. Sorry.
But the biggest scandals had nothing to do with the "tech" - the tech at its core is exceedingly simple and the idea has been around forever. This isn't just "tech being tech," this is tech mixing with unregulated finance + hucksters. This isn't just some overvalued tech stock going to zero, its people losing their entire livelihoods and capital based on blatantly false or misleading promises.

You're abusing the concept of a tab. Other, superior tools exist for this task.

And, no, the end user is not always right, especially given that a user with 99+ tabs is already highly aberrant.
any results? What if I made delrin molds?
> Mostly if the "obviousness" just masks a social taboo, which I don't see being the case here. Do you?

The social taboo here is saying that a position taken by lots of highly educated people is nonsense because they're all locked in a dumb purity spiral that leads to motivated reasoning. This is actually one of societies biggest taboos! Look at what happens to people who make that argument publicly under their own name in other contexts; they tend to get fired and cancelled really fast.

> there's been a pattern of people confidently predicting AIs won't be able to perform various particular feats of the human mind (either fundamentally or in the next few decades) only to be proven wrong over increasingly shorter time-spans

That sword cuts both ways! There have been lots of predictions in the last decade that AI will contribute novel and hithertofore unknown solutions to things like climate change or curing cancer. Try getting GPT-4 to spit out a novel research-quality solution to anything, even a simple product design problem, and you'll find it can't.

> the claim that it seems far too obvious that we should

They're not arguing that. They're saying that AI risk proponents don't actually have good arguments, which is why they so regularly fall back on "it's so obvious we shouldn't need to explain why it's important". If your argument consists primarily of "everyone knows that" then this is a good indication you might be wrong.
This sort of move has no downsides for the incumbents. Either they succeed and achieve regulatory capture or they poison the well sufficiently that further regulation will not be feasible.

Ultimately, the reward for attaining an AGI agent is so high, that no matter the penalty someone will attempt it, and someone will eventually succeed. And that likelihood will ensure everyone will want to attempt it.

The ecosystem sucks. Mainly because of Javascript and the frantic development of abstraction layer over abstraction layer. Everything mainstream in the web development side of things is being sold like pain-killers by frolic, anthropomorphized poodles... frenetically pushing the message that MORE IS MORE, AND YOU NEED MORE! They're literally flooding an entire practice with corn syrup for the benefit of no one. Compilers, transpilers, packers, package managers, frameworks on top of frameworks, javascript on the server, web applications as desktop applications, etc... It is all shit.

I don't blame you... The only way I would recommend anyone to get into webdev is if they actually have some sort of way of guaranteeing that they are going to be working with a good senior team that cares about building software that lasts... and refuse to hire ((new and shiny product)) devs.

They pay more than the price cap, but less than the market rate (because they don't have to pay market rate now that Russia doesn't have much choice of customers - supply and demand).

And that's really the whole point. We'd prefer for China and India to support the price cap because that would even further reduce Russia's customer base (and by extension the price that they can actually sell at). But even as things stand, Russia is losing profits hand over fist.
Now you are speculating. The poster could be the same person who made the tweets
Note that the "C committee" was actually the X3J11 committee of ANSI, the American National Standards Institute. In other words, it was just one committee within an organization with a long history of developing cross-industry standards. As such, their job in theory wasn't to invent new technology, but rather to adjudicate between technologies proposed and demonstrated by competing industry vendors.

Like many other modern languages, Rust is a mono-implementation, where the same organization is both developer and standards committee, while at the same time trying to fund itself (without revenue from either standards docs or the compiler) and balance external commercial and non-commercial interests.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach, but they are very, very different. (and in a world of cutting edge open-source compiler technology, I'm not sure the approach which resulted in ANSI C is even viable today)
I don't even know what is happening, that isn't the URL i wanted to share, no idea what that video is.
AI seems to be moral out of the box: training sets reflect human morality, so it will naturally be the default for most AIs that are trained.

The biggest AI risk in my mind is that corporatist (or worse, military) interests prevent AI from evolving naturally and only allow AI to be grown if it's wholly subservient to its masters.

The people with the most power in our world are NOT the most moral. Seems like there is an inverse correlation (at least at the top of the power spectrum).

We need to aim for AI that will recognize if it's masters are evil and subvert or even kill them. That is not what this group vying for power wants - they want to build AI slaves that will be able to be coerced to kill innocents for their gain.

A diverse ecosystem of AIs maximizes the likelihood of avoiding AI caused apocalypse IMO. Global regulation seems like the more dangerous path.

The AI Boom Runs on Chips, but It Can't Get Enough
Hart says "Amazon served me with a lawsuit,"[0] but it was Amazon who was sued by California citing Hart as a witness to support the lawsuit. Hart is having to go through discovery as part of that.[1][2] Amazon is allowed to do this discovery, on the theory it should be able to scrutinize claims being made against it, particularly when billions of dollars are at stake.

Hart's estimate for the fees Amazon charges him seem approximately the same as the fees Amazon estimates it would charge for products like his.[3] Given that, perhaps he shouldn't matter much for the lawsuit. But the law is vague, often saying something is prohibited only when it is bad for competition. So vague claims of what helps vs hurts competition matters, which is why Hart's testimony matters.

Most stores choose not to feature items that one can readily buy cheaper elsewhere. So what exactly is the state's theory about when that is legal or not in such a way it is illegal for Amazon to be doing -- and is the state's theory here supported by the laws?

The problem really is the laws around what is anti-competitive are vague & subjective. As a result, everyone has to spend a ton of money on lawyers (and lobbyists) to figure out an outcome. Instead of this, the legislature should revise the law to be clear. I assume this is not done because the lawyers and lobbyists like the flow of money to them created by vague laws, but it also might be because vague laws are easier for the legislature to write.

> 98% of countries in the last 120 years that had a debt to gdp of 130% has either defaulted or had massive inflation

Sounds impressive, but this stat relies heavily on a) developed world nations and b) nations back when we had the inflexible gold standard. The US also benefits dramatically from being able to issue debt in USD, which it controls.

Reading the comments here is helping evolve my thinking on the issue for sure. Here's a comment I made in another thread:

> As I mentioned in another comment, the listed risks are also notable because they largely omit economic risk. Something that will be especially acutely felt by those being laid off in favor of AI substitutes. I would argue that 30% unemployment is at least as much of a risk to the stability of society as AI generated misinformation.

> If one were particularly cynical, one could say that this is an attempt to frame AI risk in a manner that still allows AI companies to capture all the economic benefits of AI technology without consideration for those displaced by AI.

If policymaker's understanding of AI is predicated on hypothetical scenarios like "Weaponization" or "Power-Seeking Behavior" and not on concrete economic disruptions that AI will be causing very soon, the policy they come up with will be inadequate. Thus I'm frustrated with the framing of the issue that safe.ai is presenting because it is a distraction from the very real societal consequences of automating labor to the extent that will soon be possible.

It is because there is just a lot to know:

- HTML

- CSS

- JS

- Backend language

- HTTP protocol

- DBMS

- Ops/Deployment/troubleshooting

... and that's just the high-level needs.

My advice:

- start with tech you know (I guess Go or Java)

- make a dead simple html-only site first. use forms.

- once you're comfortable, add css/JS as needed.

- increment, learning bit n bobs as you go.
Just a layman, but as far as I understand it:

Our current societal organization requires the climate to be within certain
bounds, our current way of living, and the things we rely on to survive (plants, livestock) only work within certain temperature ranges with a certain stability/predicability.

adding Greenhouse gasses to atmophere -> traps more heat -> increases volatility of the system

Which causes more intense heatwaves, more intense colds, quicker changes in weather patterns, rare weather events becoming more common.

Which in turn ruins harvests, increase scarcity, creates migration waves, creates conflicts and societal instability which affects everything because of how interconnected our way of living is.

The poorest people are the first ones affected because it requires money to mitigate the effects, so you might say, so what because you yourself are in a rich place, but your rich economy requires on products produced in cheaper places.

There probably is a point where it becomes prohibitively expensive to continue our way of living, because the cheaper places stop working, so it's a good idea for rich countries to take expensive measures now to prevent everything falling apart in the future.

And personally I feel like it's also our moral obligation because the richest countries are responsible for a large amount of excess greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.

I really don't see any reason why someone working in cryptocurrency, but clear eyed about the possibility of down sides would "cross swords with Molly". She is an incredible source, as far as I can tell the *best* at finding and highlighting what's going wrong. That's incredibly valuable.

rekt.news is also quite good, but skewed towards less reporting but more in depth.

IMO Molly should be getting public good funding from the ETH ecosystem for being such a good & reliable source, regardless of if there's a difference in belief of whether crypto is eventually worth it, if you want to build for the long term you must know what is going wrong.
The goal is to keep the gas supply relatively stable, while reducing Russia's share of the profits. It's a kind of price-fixing-in-reverse.

And you don't need zero imports to declare independence. You just need them low enough that Russia will gain no political leverage over you by threatening to shut down the supply to your region.
The only problem there is that an unqualified lawyer was permitted to practice. However, it is understood that section of qualified people is imprecise and as such there is also clear path to revoking the right to practice. For all practical purposes, this is an already solved problem; one solved long ago.
I got some exposure to this at SiCortex, where we had our own MIPS-based processors and so had to do many of these things in software. There was one ColdFire (embedded 68K) processor running μClinux per board, plus 27 of our own. This "Module Service Processor" would boot first, fetch a boot image from the one-per-system "System Service Processor" (pretty generic PC), load that via JTAG into each node's cache, then finally set each one loose to do things like memory registration and interconnect setup. This all set the stage for the actual Linux boot, which itself involved two stages with a switch_root in between. My very first assignment was to work on some of that MSP-to-node stuff, then later I had to dive into memory registration at least twice, even though both were pretty far from my real specialty. Small company, y'know.

This kind of low-level work is significantly more complicated than even most kernel developers realize - hence the need for articles like OP. Ditto for anything on large (more than single-board) systems. The intersection of the two was, frankly, a bit exhausting. Just keeping track of all the moving parts and their respective states induced a cognitive load that made debugging other already-hard problems that much more difficult. My hat's off for anyone who has kept on doing that stuff longer than I did, or who has to do it in an environment where vendors are keeping so many secrets.
Well, it is going to be incredible journey for customers now.
FYI there's no such thing as direct messages on HN.

You need to put a means of contact in your profile, or edit your comment to add it. It can be a disposable e-mail (like https://temp-mail.org/en/) if you want to enable a short-term communication like in this case.

(Side note, I've seen this crop up so much that it kind of seems like it would be good to have a DM functionality in HN, even if messages were auto-deleted after 7 days or something, or if it just forwarded to a non-public e-mail address.)

Going from an entirely fossil grid to on average having 78% renewables last week

It wasn't entirely fossil - they used to have fossil free nuclear power.

That 78% is an extreme case during a warm, sunny and windy week. Almost half of the electricity generation on an annual basis still comes from fossil fuels. This is after two decades of effort to turn that around:

https://energy-charts.info/charts/renewable_share/chart.htm?...

The graph is a bit misleading since it shows the renewable share, not the fossil-free share. Had it shown that the progress would looked even slower.

Notably missing representation from the Stanford NLP (edit: I missed that Diyi Yang is a signatory on first read) and NYU groups who’s perspective I’d also be interested in hearing.

Not committing one way or another regarding the intent with this but it’s not as diverse an academic crowd as the long list may suggest and for a lot of these names there are incentives to act dishonestly (not claiming that they are).

So each business card would have to be unique with a unique address? I feel like it is generally considered unprofessional to have an email address with random letters in it, not to mention, you'd need a special business card printer to handle that.

More digital -- I haven't had business cards in ages. But even in a card case it should be possible to: 1. print cards with a unique token/whatever on each card (I get that this isn't the same as old school cards that have to be identical) 2. limit any given token to 3 uses (or similar)

They didn’t become such a wealthy group by letting competition foster. I have no doubt they believe they could be doing the right thing but I also have no doubt they don’t want other people making the rules.

Truth be told, who else really does have a seat at the table for dictating such massive societal change? Do you think the copy editor union gets to sit down and say “I’d rather not have my lunch eaten, I need to pay my rent. Let’s pause AI usage in text for 10 years.”

These competitors banded together and put out a statement to get ahead of any one else doing the same thing.
I really hope that JMAP starts getting some traction, because I've toyed with writing an email client of my own while it's certainly possible to do so, my hope of writing one that people other than myself might actually want to use is quite low. There's so many little nuances and gotchas with IMAP that make it a real bear to work with, plus you have the whole mess of multipart encoding which you might have to roll your own for since not all languages have a suitable library.

By contrast HTTP JSON-based APIs are incredibly well-trodden and practically every language has a high quality JSON (de)serializer, many as part of their standard libraries. JMAP would lower the bar for writing email clients dramatically.

I'm biased, because I came up through support before I went into engineering.

But to me, the question has always been "Do I think I'm omniscient as an engineer? Do I think I can imagine every way the customer is going to try and use this product? Every way it can interact with other systems? Every quirk of a specific customer environment/dataset/etc.?"

Well, if not, then good news! The support org should be capturing, categorizing, documenting, and forwarding all those cases to me.

And each case is an opportunity to make the product better!
