> The infalling person has no way of knowing, locally, that they have crossed the horizon

Is there such a thing as "the" event horizon? Suppose Alice and Bob are both free falling into a block hole, but Alice is a little bit further in than Bob. Alice sends a message photon straight back out of the gravity well once per second by her pocket watch. There is a distant observer, Dana. Dana believes the event horizon to lie at a certain radius, and as Alice approaches that radius, she appears to Dana to slow down and to redshift so that Dana does not see Alice cross the horizon. However, there is a particular second, N, on Alice's pocket watch which marks the final messenger photon that can get back out to Dana; all messages > N are trapped.

Now, if Bob is right behind Alice, falling into the black hole, isn't it possible that he can observe Alice's (N+1)st photon? That photon need not escape the black hole all the way out to Dana in order for Bob to see it, since he's falling toward it. Therefore, doesn't Bob disagree with Dana about where the event horizon is? Alice hasn't crossed it yet as of N+1 as far as Bob can see.

I guess my bigger point/question is, if you decide to fall into a black hole, won't its horizon recede before your eyes as you approach?
You think all of their customers were fully on board with having funds commingled? Not even one that honestly thought they were legit?
My most immediate though as I started reading this was... AI is like cancer.

It's not one thing, it's many things, and anything that we believe will replace our brain power, or be put in charge of something large enough to be dangerous. At the same time ML, DL, and LLMs et al are all in use around us and some have been for years and decades. Whether it's simple use of Linear Regression, Principal Components, Nearest Neighbors, SVM, Random Forests, LS-TM, or now Transformers and Stable Diffusion it will find its way into hundreds and then thousands of products and tools used by many millions of people. It will hide in plane sight, until eventually something really bad happens, something that makes people fear it more than the quarterly profits it generates.

I'm not really an AI fear monger. I don't feel like it's the biggest threat we currently face. It's a tool like internal combustion, antibiotics, debt based currencies, or nuclear power. I don't think we had a good idea how any of them would ultimately create challenges and require regulation or even create dangerous stability. I doubt we do with AI either even though we've had decades of books, movies, and video games warning us of various possibilities.

We won't cure it, but maybe we can tame it. Will it be the garbage it generates, some other tools it lets us create, growth too fast for most people to cope, a band-aid that masks real solutions, I don't know... and I don't think anyone does.
> These InteractionHandlers are just objects satisfying a specific TypeScript interface. They’re not coupled to React or hooks or anything like that, which feels quite freeing, honestly. There’s no worrying about stale closures or dependencies or hooks rules - it really is just TypeScript.

This is a great example of "fighting the framework". React + SVG got them from nothing to a working product. But then they had to rewrite completely to solve problems in the product because the framework no longer fit the product. I've seen this so many times.

But it's hard for people to believe when they start out and choose the "perfect" framework for their product:

"you will eventually have to rewrite your entire product because that's easier than fighting the framework to make it do what you need"

"no, we won't, this $framework is flexible enough to do whatever we need"

"OK, good luck"

2 years later:

"we're rewriting the product completely because $framework wouldn't let us do $thing"

Not that I'm advocating for not using frameworks, just for people to realise that eventually (almost) everyone fights the framework and rewrites. And the more the framework does, the earlier the fight begins.

> We don’t have a direct democracy where the public can vote on every policy, we elect representatives to make the decisions.

Which is optimal, because in a direct democracy, you get unelected de-facto leaders with zero transparency or accountability - it's simply impossible for a country of any nontrivial size to vote on every relevant issue (or draft bills through a purely democratic process), and so you'll get social media influencers and celebrities and political groups instead that sway the thoughts of millions of people, but without all of the constraints that elected leaders have.

> Smarter people have better outcomes in almost every domain of activity

I see a fundamental conflict between (likely political) camps here; one of the most prominent and valid concerns against AI is that it's going to focus disproportionately large amount of power to a fewer number of people. This violates the very assumption of democracy itself. It might be a bit more efficient but remember that the strength of democracy is not known as its short-term efficiency but its resilience by avoiding a single point of failure. And that failure includes all the social discontent and instability coming from inequal distribution of wealth and power. This is not a new thing; we've already learned this from blood long time ago and I don't think it's necessary to repeat the history. I don't want to be a doomsayer, but at least I guess it's reasonable to say that we need to prepare some sort of rail guard to avoid this kind of obvious bad outcome.

It’s not a VR headset, it is a computer with its own OS and M2 processor. I don’t think that VR or AR was mentioned a single time in the Apple event. They say this is the first device for spatial computing and that this is equivalent to the first Mac as far as changing OS UI goes.

This will be another part of the Apple system along with Macs, iPhones, iPads, etc. You will never be able to use this as just a monitor equivalent for any other OS.

inference is easy, but training is hard

That's often true for classification models (like image recognition), but it the generation models (SD, Llama and GPT-4) everyone is excited about use a lot of compute for inference.
Passkeys still involve storing a secret, which I think is fundamentally what all security/authentication is built around. Passkey eliminates a lot of the issues with passwords (transmitting the plain text to the app, password reuse, simple passwords).

If you've been using a password manager with randomly generated passwords you've already addressed some of these issues so the benefits of using passkeys over passwords is reduced.
> Likewise, for much larger more complex projects some of the benefits you can get out of GraphQL can warrant the use of it. But there is a massive gap in the middle where it just seems unnecessary.

You're sure that in 1923, space was "something we would never reach"? That's about ten years before a German guy starts his work on liquid rocket fuel technology, work that will (via a Nazi terror weapon) go on to result in the US manned space programme.

If you said 1823 maybe I could sympathise, in 1823 they don't have everything together, they don't know about the Noble gases or dozens of other elements, they thought atoms were indivisible (hence the name), they don't have the First Network (the Universal Postal Union, yes, in 1823 you could not write a letter in say, Edinburgh, write an address in Berlin, and just post it, that idea hadn't been invented yet).

But by 1923 they're in a much better place. Their atomic model is still wrong but it's like the model you're probably picturing in your head, the one where electrons are little whizzy balls orbiting a nucleus. Wrong, but not wrong enough to cause big problems for everyday purposes. Kurt Gödel hasn't come up with his clever trick yet, but the problem is right there and people are thinking about it.

You say the videos are objects but I don't see evidence of objects. Just because you see a shape doesn't mean you saw an object. Did you know shadows can move faster than the speed of light? Because you see a shadow isn't a thing, it's just our mental model of events, and there are no limits on that model. We have plenty of ways to make a shape seem to move much faster than we can make an object move.
I haven't ever decided to fall into a black hole so I'm not speaking from experience, but I think Bob would only see Alice's (N+1)st photon after he himself has crossed the event horizon.

Tsiolkovsky developed his rocket equation in 1903 and in 1928 he published The Will of Universe dedicated to space colonisation. He clearly new it’s within reach of human mind.

Jules Verne published From the Earth to the Moon and given that his works are some early examples of science fiction and not a pure fantasy, one could say even Verne envisioned space travels as possible.

You're saying it's crazy where you are. It's crazy where I am. The easier dimension of figuring how the value proposition gets from where we are to where it makes sense is that getting framing done could be very expensive, and this Home Depot kit would presumably take less labor, time, or expertise.

The other dimension is that different things make sense in different places because of how intensively the land is used. When I lived a half mile from the beach in San Diego, people on tiny lots had incredible gardens and sitting areas in their small outdoor spaces. You would almost never see such nice gardens and sitting areas in places where the lots are larger, even at houses owned by much richer places (or by people with more free time, if you prefer.)

If you have a large, low-value lot, mobile homes and broken down cars are understandable things to have in the yard. But you won't see them in expensive places. And you won't see nice campers and luxury cars parked in the yard either. Using outdoor space in high-cost areas is like raising bonsai trees: it looks ridiculous how fussy it is, but it also produces a pretty impressive outcome.

What if they include weapons, specifically guns, in their assessment?
I think one of the most effective strategies of conspiracy theory content relates to exactly this point. You bypass the examination of evidence, and entertain theories that would take evidence as given. I remember a video my stepdad saw about Aliens On The Moon, supposedly there to harvest H3, that, instead of asking whether it was true, asked "what do they want?", and "what are they intending to do?" And there was a part about a grainy picture of the moon, with a narrator suggesting looked like there was a cannon-style weapon, asserting that "experts believe" it is aimed at Earth, implying that it's to keep Earth from challenging them for the precious H3.

Just like that, you are pulled into a story, with all kinds of psychological threads. You run before you're able to walk, essentially, and you get people caught up running, and you can backdoor the presumption that the underlying premise was indeed established.

So, I completely agree at there's such a peculiar note being struck by this implied premise.
Why of course. The coolest monkeys are the ones with the biggest bombs and fastest jets, right. Not the ones who have a knowledge of love so intimate they wrote an entire book just about sex positions. Of course, the aliens that can expend Jupiter's worth of energy to travel at lightspeed are impressed by the monkeys with the fastest planes, not the ones who claim they found a peace so profound it encompasses the universe.

I think the super advanced aliens aren't showing themselves because we're letting a bunch of auto-fellating monkeys run the planet
Something I learned recently: the phrasing "QR Code" is a trademark of a company called Denso Wave, who invented them. While the method of producing and reading QR codes is free for all, (Denso Wave waived their rights to the patents) they still protect their trademark. This has lead many Japanese companies that use QR codes, to call them publicly something else, such as "2D codes", in fear of getting sued.

> Is there such a thing as "the" event horizon?

Yes. It's a global feature of the spacetime geometry. It's not observer dependent.

> if Bob is right behind Alice, falling into the black hole, isn't it possible that he can observe Alice's (N+1)st photon?

If he himself crosses the horizon, yes, he will see Alice's N+1st photon after he has crossed the horizon. But not until then.

> doesn't Bob disagree with Dana about where the event horizon is?

No. See above.

> if you decide to fall into a black hole, won't its horizon recede before your eyes as you approach?

There are optical effects due to light rays traveling tangentially, not radially, that (if we imagine the horizon as a light-emitting surface, which it actually isn't) could make this seem to happen, but this would be an optical illusion; you would still fall through the horizon regardless of what appearances your eyes were seeing.
I guess I should clarify. It’s arbitrary in that the restrictions are policy-based, not limitations of the underlying technology. There’s no technical reason iOS couldn’t have swap, it’s not available because trade off decisions were made to enable use cases on much more limited devices.
