There are a lot of people making money in the current system. It's pretty obvious that just giving money to people trapped in a cycle of addiction is not going to break that cycle.

They need treatment and in many cases it might need to be compelled to break the cycle. This then needs to be followed with integration programs (and jobs, schooling) that do not happen in the same area where they spent their time addicted.
Sounds like the author is advocating for Chaos?
In my example, the variables are assumed to be addressable, only the address of x was passed via the stack.

Dunno what you mean about having no rules imposed on your code -- you can define the semantics of the language formally and execute them on a machine, same as you can for C, JavaScript, or Prolog.
RSS is a far better delivery method.
Buying from the cafes nearby. Patronizing the hotels. Going to see a show after. All the things one does in the neighborhood around a tourist attraction.

A week-long golf tournament in my town brings in 200k+ people and local government touts a $190M economic impact number for that. I'm sure it's fudged to be as high as possible, but pretending Notre Dame doesn't have an economic benefit to Paris would be odd.
The obvious thought that occurs to me is UI - how are users going to access this hypothetical application? If it's via the web, then you'll need a whole setup for generating HTML, and doing that in SQL sounds extremely painful. If it's a native app, then you've got to interact with the OS somehow to do things like draw to the screen, and I've never even heard of trying to do that from SQL.

More broadly, this just seems like it would sharply limit how you could extend the application in the future. What if at some point you want to query a web API for some additional data with which to enrich what you're returning from your database? (Not an unusual situation, in my experience.) You'd be stuck trying to make web requests from SQL, which again seems needlessly painful.

Note that I'm not against the basic idea of "do as much data-munging in SQL as possible" - in my experience that's a great way to ensure that your application stays fast and efficient. It' just all the ancillary things surrounding the data-munging for which I don't think SQL is the best fit.
Except as I wrote earlier, most top schools in the US don't care about discriminating using standardized tests to that degree. They want to apply a reasonable filter and then move on to other aspects of the application. One may disagree with that approach but pretty much no top school in the US wants to admit solely (or maybe even primarily) on the basis of a standardized test score.
USBHS is fairly hard to support without an off-chip transceiver. There's a reason why most low-cost microcontrollers are USBFS only.
You don't even need any sort of novel new technology. We could build housing out of wood just like we have for hundreds of years.

The main problem is that new housing is largely banned as established wealth that already have detached homes vote for politicians that promise to not allow any new homes near them.
...but the RTX 5000 was already a workstation card in the Turing series
Yeah I used to ardently read the newspaper for the local suburb I was living in a few years ago and felt super connected and informed about issues (which meant I was less confused about all the names on the ballot come election time).

Then I moved to a suburb which didn't have that newspaper and now I have no idea about anything nor are there any avenues for me to learn. And I have kids, so no, I'm not going to all those meetings.
>It is absolutely insane how we’ve stopped treating homeless people as humans with potential and aspirations and assume that all they can be is a vacuum for drugs and cash.

Vancouver has the same approach- warmest place in Canada.

When I suggested active intervention (eg. force detox), the activists would accuse me of treating homeless people as sub-humans, that I am being cruel and inhumane and a monster, and that we should give them (the users and the NGOs) money and safe-supply drug and leave them alone on the street.
Here's a fuller quotation of the WHO tweet:

>FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.

>The #coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.

The WHO was unequivocally stating that Covid was not airborne, apparently meaning that they (wrongly) thought it was not spread through aerosols. Instead, they were saying it was spread through droplets. So they were wrong about how it spreads, but did not go as far as saying it wasn't spread through respiratory routes/air at all, which I think might be some people's interpretation of "The WHO said it was not airborne."
I'm starting to think you didn't understood the message or you wouldn't be avoiding explaining yourself while trying to insult people.
For now. But were it not for my comment history, there'd be no trace of my reading this thread in X months.
One important difference is that Facebook is not cutting up streets and accidentally severing other utility cables, pipes etc in order to extend their reach into target markets. A rival telco would have to do that if it wasn't required to give them access to this physical infrastructure. They are also not using a precious limited resource (such as radio spectrum) that would be spoiled if everyone used it without regard for the impact on other broadcasters and consumers.
Imagine you have three tasks, where each one uses one window from your browser, terminal, finder, and editor. You rarely want to switch between app windows, but you often want to switch between "task windows". The windows/Linux alt-tab style is faster here.
You gotta dig into supplement 1 to find the treatment:

2) Low-level single-wavelength red-light wavelength: 650nm±10nm

4) Light source output power: 2.0mW±0.5mW; At a distance of 100mm: 1.07-1.42mw

...the intervention group are treated with the intervention instrument twice a day from Monday to Friday, three minutes each time, with an interval of at least 4 hours (morning break before school and afternoon break before school), under the supervision of the school teacher/coordinator in addition to routine study and life. All children have a unique corresponding personal account and password. They need to swipe the card and log in the system for verification before starting the intervention device.... the optical energy will stop automatically after three minutes of use, leave the blue eye patch, close your eyes and rest for 3-5 minutes until the light spots before your eyes disappear."

^ So it sounds like the students might even have light spots (temporary blindness)? for a few minutes after the treatment.

No use of near-infrared (in the 850nm range), only red light (in the 650 range), so if attempting to recreate at home make sure the red light therapy device is in 650 not red + infrared combination as many are. Though if you Google you can find plenty of studies and resources suggesting NIR can be safe and effective for the eyes as well.

I use red and NIR for collagen boosting on the skin but had until now been too afraid to directly expose my closed eyelids w/o protective goggles as I noticed light spots (I use a close-up helmet). Taking the leap of faith and using light therapy to the point that I have light spots for a few minutes after treatment as described in the study is a leap of faith that I'm afraid may be beyond me.
TL;DR: I plan and it helps me.

When I'm working in IC mode:

- I plan for the next day at the end of the day (org-mode).

- If I'm working on planned tasks (programming, demoing, documentation, etc.) I tick checkboxes. These tasks are usually small enough to do in 1-2 hours.

- I also tick checkboxes for must do things e.g. when on call.

I'm sceptical about planning and working on a bunch of things without putting them down.
Giving addicts drug money instead of providing for their needs is the peak of inhumanity.

Not sure what you think a drug addicts needs are, because usually at the top of the list is "drugs".

There other services provided en-masse for homeless people with addiction problems but you can't force them to take advantage of them.

The "free-money" isn't about treating the root cause of the recipients addiction the hope is to address a symptom and prevent people with addiction problems from committing crimes to fuel their habits.
i don't understand, or at least it does not make sense, how IQ is cringe but other human innate attributes such as height or strength are not. bragging about one's bench press is accepted but not IQ?
At the sametime I think you may be overvaluing new answers and the importance of reiterating known answers in a method the user asking the question understands.

For example, there is no intrinsic value in something new. If I take a new solution to a problem, lock it in a box, then it has zero value. It is not improving anyway.

Now, if I take a solution and present it to you in a manner that you can understand, that has an inherent value to the end user.

By this analogy attempting to say that LLMs are useless because they only know what already exists is far to harsh of measure because the vast volume of human output is rehashing what we already know.

Did you read the article?

> Musk seemed to confirm that Irwin's departure was caused by the What Is a Woman? incident. When asked if the events were related, Musk replied, "director related"—seemingly a typo for "directly related."
> It is something believed without any evidentiary basis which enables rationally weighing

But that's exactly true of either position you take. Imagine I'm arguing that aliens probably exist and you're arguing they probably don't. There is no such thing as a belief based on evidence in this case; we only have logical reasoning and assumptions and beliefs.

> Depends what you mean by “set its own goals”, I could certainly see an argument that the natural intepretation is impossible in a universe fully governed by physical laws, whether the intelligence is artificial or not.

This feels like moving the goal posts... all it needs to be able to do is make decisions that are dangerous to humanity. I felt that definition was obvious. All it needs to do do is mimic an oil executive, because, as you say, human intent is also an existential risk. Imagine an oil executive that could get the upper hand in all possible negotiations and desired to make the entire global economy subservient to the needs of oil production.

> delaying superhuman AI could increase existential risk.

Oh, yeah I totally agree that we can't truly know one way or the other. But it kind of feels like deciding to invent and deploy nuclear bombs as a deterrent to war. Did it end war? Absolutely not. Many would argue it didn't even that specific war. We are of course fortunate that nuclear war has not yet destroyed civilization, but a) there's still time, b) we aren't necessarily better off than if we had no nukes, and c) not all risks are equal - AI could be more dangerous.

> as it would require that every resource that could advance superhuman AI

Actually, you're right. I was definitely overstating our progress and didn't think through that argument clearly. But maybe it would be safer if we were devoting all global resources toward a coordinated AGI alignment and development effort...
This same nonsense logic would apply to the police, firemen and nurses too. Are the firemen out there discouraging sprinkler systems because they want to keep their jobs?

Even if we were looking at this from an utterly cynical, purely financial viewpoint, the people paid to help the homeless are effectively property managers and they benefit from housing the homeless, not letting them sleep on the street.
They will collapse as fast as they have risen. I don't see how 3rd world economies will survive without the westerm middle class. I guess just slaughter each other as humanity always did with excess populace.

APIs that make any developer an AI engineer
We're a startup at the MVP stage offering vector databases and our own in house + better version of langchain as a hosted API service to allow any developer to build AI into products. For our MVP, we make sure your vector DB is always in sync with your data source, and offer you endpoints to 1) extract data from, 2) summarize, 3) auto suggest text, 4) perform semantic search, and 5) generative QnA on your data. Of course, you could mix and match these functionalities to meet your use case. (eg, summarize content + using the summarization to semantically search for relevant items, extract data from text + auto suggesting text based on the data, qna based on data or documents)

We focus on helping startups that couldn't otherwise figure out how to piece together and optimize AI tools on the market gain an unfair advantage over their competitors. We also help reduce costs by caching LLMS results. Would love some feedback, thanks for making to the end!

There are many solutions in old hand-tool woodworking that were elegant back then, and are still more relevant today than spinning a tool at 20k RPM.

Example: when removing waste with a chisel for joinery, going cross-grain allows popping large chunks with ease, rather than route them to dust. And it's a lot of fun!

Power tools do have a use for repeatability and mass-production, which may be useful in the Notre Dame build, but I find the carpenters' approach more honorable.
Affordability is a factor, but also one of several. Affordability, among other issues, certainly would lead some couples to decide to have fewer children than they otherwise might (1 instead of 2, or 2 instead of 3).

Besides affordability, more recent generations focusing more on career, quality of life, freedom, overall thrill- and experience-seeking, has led people to make lifestyle choices that do not involve children, as children can be a hindrance to some of those lifestyle choices. Because of those choices, many of these same people simply don't value children [of their own] as much and thus have fewer or none at all. Career aspirations, increasing wealth/income, and keeping a majority control over one's time and obligations has become more important than accepting the stresses and challenges of raising one's own family, even when considering the special kind of joy that also arises from pursuing that endeavor.

Adding onto that, say what you will about organized religions, but the increasing level of secularism is perhaps also a factor in leading to a declining birthrate, as most organized religions tend to "bake in" a kind of enthusiasm and social "nudging" to have more children.
None of this is going to meaningfully impact C/C++ software. If it comes to pass at all, it'll be used at the margins to replace more C code with Rust.
> at any point exactly those variables have addresses

That doesn't sound like it lets me increment any stack address I want and store into the resulting pointer.

And are return values still on the same stack? I probably should have said I meant the traditional kind of C stack.
You completely lost me at the sum types part. Humanity needs sum types... so that we can generate offensively denormalized RDBMS schemas? Echos of OOP-mania.

However, I strongly agree about "pointless portability". 'Django' would be perfect if it just focused on Postgres. Cut the call stack in half and add more power+perf. Point SQLite users to SQLAlchemy, and forget about the others.
Has that observably worked for Citizendium or lobste.rs, which have tried exactly that for years, though? Have they been widely recognized as superior to Wikipedia and Hacker News? Have they in fact been widely recognized?

If your answer is that Wikipedia and Hacker News still get the recognition and haven't collapsed, then I suggest that there are already examples to learn from that the same idea for Stack Exchange won't work.
I remember seeing that the model can get confused if you give it too much context.

This is irrelevant to the fact that they claim expertise as to why the iPhone is less secure.

They aren’t just claiming it’s because of this one exploit or some exploit stats - they are making the claim that it’s because it’s not open source.

Since they knew this all along, we can conclude that they have poor judgment.

I know a lot of this discussion focuses on the Bay Area, but I live in central LA and the situation is totally out of control here as well. Needles, human feces, trash everywhere, people sleeping in front of storefronts.

Walking around parts of LA at night feels like you're in a neo-noir dystopian film. It's literally ghastly.
I was downtown for 5 minutes around 19th and Market the other day, waiting at a truck for some halal food, and saw both the notorious screaming woman (who releases a bloodcurdling scream every 30 seconds or so that can be heard for blocks around) and a woman who had painted herself in her own feces.

At every major intersection near me there are 1 to 5 heroin addicts asking for money from cars passing by on a daily basis. Go drive down Delaware Ave. Drive up Aramingo. Drive up Market. Drive up University Ave. Drive up Girard. You'll see them on every major street, right now. I'm a few blocks away form the Girard L stop and another methadone clinic. In either direction on Girard, I'll see not only half a dozen wandering addicts at any given time, but a group of 20-30 at Girard and Front is there basically all day every day, another dozen hang out by the clinic at 8th, there's usually more intermittently around the health clinic on Girard. To get to these gathering points, they naturally walk through other residential areas. I find the occasional addict passed out on bench-like structures throughout my neighborhood on a regular basis.

I walked with some friends to dinner last night (about a 10 minute walk on Girard and in Nolibs) and we saw multiple heroin addicts and someone especially eccentric camping outside the restaurant we went to. I consider multiple addicts and insane people on any short walk through any major thoroughfare to be a pervasive problem.
Completely! I'm not trying to disparage the progress that's being made.

This is a great start, I just wanted to make it clear that there's a long way to go :)

> I think you're severely overestimating the abilities of this "AI" and underestimating the abilities of the human mind here :-)

"This AI" seems perfectly capable of resulting of extending the kind of economic immiseration that has already affected many blue collar jobs into many types of white collar work (ironically enough, the kind of work those blue collar workers were told to pick up).

Past this iteration of AI, who knows if the advances will peter out, but it's foolish to assume things will be fine because other things were adapted to in the past. That's kinda like assuming you won't die before having kids because none of your ancestors did.
> If Wikipedia operated its own currency, it could reward helpful contributions and make vandalism costly (you'd lose 10-50% of your currency if you were found to have vandalized a page, etc.)

Who decides what "vandalized" means or how helpful any given contribution is and why wouldn't such a system be gamed if money is involved? This seems like a great way to turn Wikipedia completely toxic since now there's a potential financial incentive to engaging in bad faith. Even on Reddit - where Karma is not exchangeable for money - this is a problem[1].

To be honest, I don't remember what the service was. It could well have been SkyCache. I do remember them having 45Mbps of throughput over multicast, which at the time was faster than our entire international bandwidth we had. For what it was, it was a pretty amazing service.

It wasn't until later that we upgraded our international link to be a T-3 that was still cheaper than the E-1 links we had inside the country.
