It reminds me of "Password Purgatory" that Troy Hunt (of "Have I Been Pwned" fame) built. It sends real scammers to a real-looking site that basically makes them play this game until they give up and go away.

The cities and the countryside, actually. In rural areas, you may spend most of your time in your own territory, but when you encounter other people they'll probably stop and chat. (For one, when your cows get out and into your neighbor's field for the 6th time that year, you want to be on good enough terms to be able to go fetch them back...)

Suburbia is where we can have exactly what we think we want, and thereby discover that we're wrong.
Nope. Google's Pixel Buds have first party integration with a custom UI to connect them as soon as they're out of the box. So are Samsung's Galaxy Buds, and both of these use regular Bluetooth.

Yeah, I meant Virtex UltraScale+ parts. I hear that there is a small cottage industry of people overclocking Threadripper workstations for FPGA synthesis, because the memory bandwidth is actually the primary limiting factor (and the Threadrippers have the same kind of turbo capability as the gaming rigs). I assume that the "x3D" chips help a lot, but I don't know.

Z80 and PIC were pretty popular in the hobbyist embedded space before Arduino and Atmel AVR really took over in the 2000s.
I'm afraid this is an entirely fantastical objection. I don't believe we have ever had the confusion you describe, and this structure was created entirely for production use.

| 90% chance of near term "human level" AI but only a 75% chance someone tries to influence the US election with "AI driven misinformation" which for most definitions of "AI" and "misinformation" is already happening?

Yes, if 2040 is "near term". The majority view is that before 2025, the only major AI safety concerns are deepfakes, misinformation, and maybe social engineering.

But over the subsequent years, the consensus shifts to predicting widespread disruption.
The funniest story I heard about cultural differences is the clash of Irish and NL cultures.

A young Irish university student just arrived to his new apartment in NL for exchange.

Shortly after settling into his apartment, a Dutch woman knocked on his door.

She said “Hello, you must be new here. I want to let you know that we are having a party today.”

Excited about a potential party, he replied, “wow great! What time does it start? And can I bring something?”.

Dutch woman gives him a stare and raised eyebrow, “No, you are not invited. I just wanted to let you know there will be a party. If it is too loud please let us know.”

And that was how this young Irish man was introduced to the famous Dutch culture.
Helpful perspective. As a lawyer who has worked on both sides of class actions, I generally classify these cases in four categories:

-Legit cases that describe (or at least ultimately lead to finding) clear and meaningful wrongdoing. There's always some room for arguing one way or the other but ultimately there's some clarity that something meaningfully wrong happened. I think these are probably ~3-5 percent of cases filed. These cases tend to settle relatively early for high dollar figures.

-Cases of clear but unimportant wrongdoing. Technically a statute was violated, but no one was really hurt at all. These tend to settle for small $ figures. Perhaps 20% of cases.

-Important but unclear wrongdoing (evidence supports either finding; among one million documents, some look really bad, while others look very exculpatory). These stick around for a long time and ultimately earn lawyers a lot but cost the parties, on average, a lot of money to litigate. Perhaps 30% of cases.

-Complete/fabricated nonsense and/or fishing expeditions. Cost defendants a fair amount (and brutal for small defendants), but not the end of the world for big defendants. Perhaps 50% of cases.
Thank you so much for this comment.

> Nowhere do they define "AGI"

Ummm, maybe you should have looked? At the top of the very first prediction, here: https://www.metaculus.com/questions/5121/date-of-artificial-...

We will thus define "an AI system" as a single unified software system that can satisfy the following criteria, all completable by at least some humans.

Able to reliably pass a 2-hour, adversarial Turing test during which the participants can send text, images, and audio files (as is done in ordinary text messaging applications) during the course of their conversation. An 'adversarial' Turing test is one in which the human judges are instructed to ask interesting and difficult questions, designed to advantage human participants, and to successfully unmask the computer as an impostor. A single demonstration of an AI passing such a Turing test, or one that is sufficiently similar, will be sufficient for this condition, so long as the test is well-designed to the estimation of Metaculus Admins.

Has general robotic capabilities, of the type able to autonomously, when equipped with appropriate actuators and when given human-readable instructions, satisfactorily assemble a (or the equivalent of a) circa-2021 Ferrari 312 T4 1:8 scale automobile model. A single demonstration of this ability, or a sufficiently similar demonstration, will be considered sufficient.

High competency at a diverse fields of expertise, as measured by achieving at least 75% accuracy in every task and 90% mean accuracy across all tasks in the Q&A dataset developed by Dan Hendrycks et al..

Able to get top-1 strict accuracy of at least 90.0% on interview-level problems found in the APPS benchmark introduced by Dan Hendrycks, Steven Basart et al. Top-1 accuracy is distinguished, as in the paper, from top-k accuracy in which k outputs from the model are generated, and the best output is selected.

By "unified" we mean that the system is integrated enough that it can, for example, explain its reasoning on a Q&A task, or verbally report its progress and identify objects during model assembly. (This is not really meant to be an additional capability of "introspection" so much as a provision that the system not simply be cobbled together as a set of sub-systems specialized to tasks like the above, but rather a single system applicable to many problems.)

Resolution will come from any of three forms, whichever comes first: (1) direct demonstration of such a system achieving ALL of the above criteria, (2) confident credible statement by its developers that an existing system is able to satisfy these criteria, or (3) judgement by a majority vote in a special committee composed of the question author and two AI experts chosen in good faith by him, for the sole purpose of resolving this question. Resolution date will be the first date at which the system (subsequently judged to satisfy the criteria) and its capabilities are publicly described in a talk, press release, paper, or other report available to the general public.
Yeah. You know they're not tripping at work right?
I guess Docker's fuse fs on native is still too slow. I remember one of the options was filesyncing in some way, such as with rsync triggered by inotify.

"The competition doesn't really believe what they say that they do" is factual debate circumvention used only in the crudest propaganda.

This type of approach only creates stiffer reaction over the long term. Your issue will be better off when you choose to make an effort to successfully argue for it well enough that the argument can withstand robust critique.
> Joints on the wheel assemblies allow M4 to execute a walking motion. In M4's current iteration, the walking motion is mostly proof of concept. However, with anticipated advances, future M4 generations could possess the ability to effectively walk across broken terrain that a wheeled robot would struggle with.

Except that the provided demonstration isn't walking any more than using a Segway is walking.
Rust code that compiles gives you certain guarantees that C++ code that compiles does not. The question isn't is well written code in one language better than well written code in another language. The question is, do I know this code is well written? In Rust you know, in C++ you don't without jumping through a bunch of other hoops.
Exactly. The power over iMessage is in Apple’s hands. Yet Google, with their RCS push, have not made something open-source were they have less power than Apple.

RCS is controlled by Google just like iMessage.
Maybe they missed your point, but plenty of people with expertise go to college in order to get a piece of paper that allows them to work. Making it a middle-class spiritual rite of passage isn't the only way to do college right.

I'm like 90% sure this was fixed - if you'd be willing to try with a recent Zellij version, that would be great.

John Markoff wrote about this in his 2005 book "what the dormouse said". More than just psychedelic drugs but the whole connection to the 60s counter culture. I found it a pretty interesting read at the time.
Same, though a bit later, circa 2007. It's great for software developers too. It's a good quick intro to many different build systems & philosophies, and shows you how the different pieces of software connect together by standard paths and package management tools like pkgconfig. Being able to quickly dive into a new project, understand how to build it and hook other software into it, debug build problems, and make quick hack changes is extremely valuable for developers.
Yes, sure. My point is that absolute numbers don't matter and the population can plummet faster than people usually imagine.
Would be useful to add data presence/freshness monitoring to the taxonomy of tools here.

I can absolutely confirm a lot of people in SV are on drugs. It’s unfair because if you’re not on them, your output can be lower than others and suddenly you’re the problem. You get put on performance plans, go through extreme stress of losing your employment and a means to feed your family. Companies turn a blind eye because they benefit from it. It’s a shame. Sad that SV became what the Wall Street in some sense.

Edit: This was purely in the context of amphetamines (and other stimulants), not psychedelics. There are long term consequences like many pointed out, but that is exactly why I refuse to participate. I’ve mentored so many young engineers who seem to be getting pulled in with the promise of career growth based on performance and it just breaks my heart.
They haven't shown any signs of doing a competent job on the $1,800 ARM Surface Pro 9.

> My frustration with this computer wasn’t a workload thing. It didn’t start out fast and gradually slow down as I opened more things and started more processes. It was peppered with glitches and freezes from start to finish.

I’d have only Slack open, and switching between channels would still take almost three seconds (yes, I timed it on my phone). Spotify, also with nothing in the background, would take 11 seconds to open, then be frozen for another four seconds before I could finally press play. When I typed in Chrome, I often saw significant lag, which led to all kinds of typos (because my words weren’t coming out until well after I’d written them). I’d try to watch YouTube videos, and the video would freeze while the audio continued. I’d use the Surface Pen to annotate a PDF, and my strokes would either be frustratingly late or not show up at all. I’d try to open Lightroom, and it would freeze multiple times and then crash.

Looking for direct quotes, I think the sentiment is a lot less, er, Scrooge-y than the title implies:

> "How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare? [...] We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night."

Do you think it is still a good portfolio strategy for retirement ?
Since getting into weed, it's surprised me how little the anxiety-inducing effects of psychedelics are brought up. I tried smoking non-medicinal weed for the first time recently and was not prepared for the massive panic attack that I had when taking what would be considered a typical dose of THC (10mg). Psychedelics cause a very different kind of loss of control from what you get on alcohol that my mind just does not seem capable of handling.

I've probed other people about the anxiety and fear I experienced, and have since learned that it's actually a fairly common feeling that even experienced users get. However, it's just considered part of the trip and requires experience to understand how to manage it. I wish I could reach a tolerance level that would allow me to have a more reliably enjoyable psychedelic experience, because I feel like I'm missing out on something that so many others seem to get positive results from.

Problems of C, and how Zig addresses them
It does, and it does a lot more than just working with hardware.

I'm sort of oversimplifying it (and probably forgetting a piece or two), but all that's needed is MMU, some minimal network subsystem with device drivers for network cards, and some very tiny VFS - just enough to handle the initrd-like thingy (the rest would be networked storage handled at the application level). E.g. if all we're going to ever run is a single VM that has its own ideas of processes and signals, we may not really need any full-fledged process scheduling or IPC, just the bits to support kernel's own threads.
When I think, it leads to thought that is not the first, which immediately leads back to the first thought. What prevents the initial thought? What prevents it from becoming what it was not, before? Why did the thought become what it was not? How much thinking do I do for the next thought to lead back to the first? Which of those thoughts are the first thought and which of them are not?
More like abandoning it to the wolves.

>"What do I need to monitor?"

I did this stuff professionally for about a decade... the short version is, consider the nodes of the graph. Stuff breaks because the front end can't reach the back, the back can't take a message off the queue, the database stopped taking connections, etc. IE: most apps of any size or complexity have reliance on other systems or infrastructure components, and these becomes things that break, timeout, don't scale, etc. That's a good starting point.

> &:operation

If one is unfamiliar, this syntax will implicitly call `Symbol#to_proc` on `:operation` and pass that as a block to the method (it will work with any object which responds to `#to_proc` and returns an object which responds to `#call`). These lines are all equivalent:

my_array.map(&:operation)
my_array.map { |my_element| my_element.operation }
my_array.map { |my_element| :operation.to_proc.call(my_element) }

Given that, I adore the terseness in the first line, though I can understand a certain annoyance that the shorthand can cause if one doesn't know how this works.
It, too, has its issues. Especially the 'New Outlook', which is esentially the web version in an app wrapper. Like always wanting to open the web versions of Office products when you go to open attachments instead of the actual app installed on your machine.
Hi, in which context are you referring to the 'hashes'?

If you're asking about the hashes for required packages in 'Chapter 3. Packages and Patched', the hashes should match if you're downloading from the provided mirror - https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/mirrors.html#files

Downloading from these mirrors ensures that you have the exact version needed for the build, in any other cases you run the risk of the system not working as expected / documented in the book.

Green has higher luminance than blue at equivalent saturation. The values for SMS and iMessage background colors are, respectively and in sRGB, #00CC46 and #0080FF, corresponding to relative luminance values of 0.436 and 0.227 according to the WCAG 2 formula.

With white foreground text, this gives a contrast ratio of 2.15:1 for SMS and 3.79:1 for iMessage. WCAG 2.x AA level compliances requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and at least 3:1 for large text.

Rust is for sure much easier to learn than some people claim. Some parts of Rust is different but it is not very difficult. I think the ecosystem is the major problem with Rust.
"Ultimately though, if this experience isn't right for you, you can turn off this feature the first time it launches in Microsoft Edge, and then in Outlook settings at any time after that."

Wow.
There is a huge difference between the arguments I'm seeing for large groups of people disagreeing completely upon what people have control over, which very quickly devolves into what control and rules we should exert upon others. There seem to be thankfully some general ideas about consent that seem pretty obvious like for the most part people don't want to be murdered and dismembered, but the hardest part of the human species IMO is basically cat herding - how do we get collective action performed when both its strengths for evolution (ability to splinter off and form separate groups) is precisely the evolutionary biases that keeps it from achieving higher aggregate functions as a species.

It seems kind of unfathomable to me how people do not understand that privatized tyranny is still tyranny by a system that is socially reinforced - it doesn't have to be a government that does it whatsoever and the general rules of power kind of matters more for first principles than some arbitrary definition of "capitalism" or "socialism" or whatnot that may be irrelevant in another thousand years. It's always been about how to organize collective actions compatible with the context of human social development.
Cyclone is garbage collected.

Yes, Cyclone is probably the single biggest influence on Rust. No, but Rust had to introduce theoretical novelties on top of Cyclone. (Rust was very reluctant to do "research", considering its job to be productizing existing research, but it was forced to research anyway, because nothing existing worked.)
