You quoted evidence without providing any, and conflate evidence with belief. That also doesn't really add anything to the conversation.

The smart money says 'there is no afterlife, so use what you've got'. If you - or anybody else - is so sure that an afterlife exists then it would be nice to present some actual proof and absent that to admit that you're making it up or that it's hearsay.

From an engineering perspective, I don't think it's fair to say something CAN be a bad fit and yet a good choice? At least not without acknowledging it was the best choice available, and therefore not likely actually a bad fit?

In that scenario, it's literally the best possible fit.

That you don't have any viable better alternative at hand may be further evidence of that? (and I don't mean from a standards basis 'well, it's locked into financial rules now, so gov't intervention'). I mean, what else was going to work considering all the factors involved? What else could work better, considering the factors involved?

JavaCard is in fact so widely used and implemented (SIM cards, bank cards, health cards, passports, etc.) that it probably has literally 10's of billions of devices manufactured using it (3.5bln claimed as of 2010 - https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/javase/j...), in essentially every high value target rich environment niche you can think of, and at extremely low costs. Literally sub-cent per-item.

And with very high environmental stresses (like debit cards getting sat on, left in hot cars, run over, dropped in puddles, jammed into random dirty readers over and over again, etc.), those devices keep working.

And everyone from random countries gov'ts to random financial firms to telcos have managed to implement what they need in it without too much difficulty, and a minimum number of security issues. Which is frankly astonishing if you've ever dealt with folks like that.

So love or hate Java, or JavaCard from a stylistic perspective - any perceived complexity for implementing a Java VM in hardware has had no practical economic effect, or slowed down implementation meaningfully.

It's fit for purpose.

Probably also ugly and feels gross using them sometimes, but a lot of fit for purpose stuff is until you've experienced the alternatives. Hopefully you never have to fix a sewage lift station pump, or clear a clogged sewer line, or clean out a transmission after it's burned out.

Each of these has literally hundreds of years of specialized knowledge and expertise behind their often boring looking facades. They're all amazingly complex if you learn about them. And they're all better than throwing sewage in the street, or carrying everything on horseback. And they're beautiful in their own way when you appreciate why they are how they are.

Even if they're not shiny and flashy, there is beauty in them, because they work well.

And they're still amazing engineering marvels, necessary for our lives as we know them and based on the actual engineering principals involved and the problem domain.
there is also Turing complete which is pretty similar.

At this point I don’t know what could change your mind. Your response to any criticism of the FDA or any proposed fix is to say that we need to make the FDA more competent, as if that’s not what people have been trying to do since the FDA was created. Unless you provide details about what would be different from what we’re already doing, you’re just arguing for the status quo.

It’s as if I were pointing out the uselessness of most TSA screening and someone replied that the solution is to make the TSA more competent.

I’d change my mind if there were more examples of harmful drugs in Europe or Canada that the FDA blocked in the US. The thalidomide scandal was over 60 years ago and caused around 4,000 deaths and 6,000 birth defects. You’d need a dozen thalidomide scandals to equal the FDA’s delays in approving beta blockers.

> To achieve an ergonomic posture [0], you have to be looking straight forward (or close to that) while your elbows are low and bent at an obtuse angle.

Curious: what about reading and writing posture? Traditionally, we look downward when reading and writing at a desk, rather than straight forward. Is that also non-ergonomic? I know that books can be supported up by a stand, but is there something for writing?

Well to be honest, our company hired a bright kid out of Waterloo who couldn't find work in Canada for over a year ( Nanotechnologies ). Or at least work that paid more than their minimum wage. Super sharp and is doing great in Material Sciences. If a kid like that can't find work in Toronto, Ontario, I have no idea what the hell is going on up there.
If the person is mentally able to make that decision for them selfs, then why not?
As you touched on, the major problem with Jira is actually that it does so much nobody (roughly) knows how to use it.

You get 3 levels if you include Epic (Epic > Task > Subtask).

You can set up a sprint/kanban board filter to cover multiple projects, so this does actualy gives you multiple projects per sprint.

I do agree that it's slow and doesn't update itself to reflect changes.

The two groups of people who hate Jira the most are (1) those who can't get it to work how they want it to and (2) those who have to deal with someone else's mad/broken custom workflow.
Lidos went out of fashion globally sometime around WW2 anyway.

And actually Boole is only dealing with two distinguishable states. Any two distinguishable physical states can be used to define binary 1 and 0. But in general, any N distinguishable states can be used to form an algebra. N=2 is just the simplest, most elegant, and what most real computers are based on. I've heard rumors that an N=3 computer exists, aka 'ternary' (EDITed) but I have my doubts. On the math side you can turn the integers into a discreet N-part thing with modulus.
Oh, RedMine. That’s the project management system I used back in 2006 to run my first StartUp. Along a well working integration with SVN (if ppl remember what SVN is).
Posture is very important. What’s also important is not trusting a chiropractor, like this article (previously) stated: chiropractic is a quack medicine[1] that ranges somewhere between harmless (but falsely advertised) massage and dangerous, sometimes fatal, spinal manipulation[2].

I fail to see how a minor choice such as what character to use as path separator has to do with being state of the art.

https://www.os2museum.com/wp/why-does-windows-really-use-bac... does a deep dive into the reasons for the choice, which seems more to do with backwards compatibility with DOS 1.0.

Win95 wasn't built on a base that had security in mind. And when the Win95 feature set was created, the world wide web wasn't in that list. TCP/IP wasn't either iirc. Dialup access was the main onramp to the internet. MSN was supposed to be Microsoft's main way to get users on to the internet (to fight against AOL).

If you don't have internet access, where is your malware coming from?

Floppies? No wifi to attack your printers.

Much easier to deal with a strange poisonous floppy the few times that you are given one than the 24/7 defenses needed when your box is ON the internet.

Well, Win95 was hobbled with the MSDOS base which was mainly concerned with CP/M familiarity when first designed. That's why Microsoft was working on windowsNT.

There's an intriguing line in this article that I wish were explored further: what is the role of increasing liability and insurance costs in the withdrawal from public amenities?
Yeah, this is why I call this the bargaining stage. Acceptance will come later.
What do you mean with "by giving the drugs to detain patients"? Is that a typo? I don't see how companies holding on to terminally-ill patients makes the trial results look more favourable. Are you suggesting that companies might not release the bodies of the patients that died during the trial?
100% yes. I usually think of / describe that aspect of UBI (theoretically) as "the job all other jobs have to compete with."

Like - there's a floor on how shitty a job can be, if no job is a valid alternative.
Can someone explain to me what's so fundamentally bad with this proposal?

My understanding is that websites can essentially confirm whether the user is likely to be a human because he/she accesses the website from a certified device.

Won't this mean there is less need for Captchas, logins and pay walls?
The doc also mentions that this will remove the need for some use-cases of fingerprinting.

I imagine from a user perspective this will be an improvement.

That's a PEACETIME budget. If UK feels threatened they will make military spending a priority, and in such case they can easily throw like $500b on weapons. And they have an advantage, because they have a lot of military production happening right there in UK, so they can just nationalize the factories and have the weapons delivered at manufacturing cost, without any markup.

So far there's no way an international corporation could win a war against a country. Give it a hundred more years though, and things might change.
"With so few concurrent civilizations, and such large distances, it is little surprise that the SETI project has not found that alien signal. Our nearest neighbor is 4 light years away, and there are under 100 stars within 50 light years, the total of the project's existence."

That doesn't change Enrico Fermi's calculations on how long it might take an alien civilization to colonize the galaxy (max 100 million years). Or spam every solar system with Von Neumann probes. Or build giant radio emitters and send them out to various parts of the galaxy to ensure coverage. As long as there's a decent chance other alien civilizations have emerged before our own in the Milky Way, there is a paradox until we know why they aren't detectable.

Or seeing Type 3 civilizations in other galaxies.

But that linked paper does mention near the end:

> At the same time, the drop in global poverty after 1995 is the largest observed, despite the low correlation with GDP per capita. This implies a “lost opportunity”, for even faster poverty reduction could have been achieved if measures had been taken to contain increasing within-country income inequality

Which I feel this is the topic at hand.

Income inequality clearly impacts both local and global poverty.

Production efficiency also has a positive impact, you can produce and serve more people for cheaper. Yes, but that implies the efficacy of production benefits people equally, otherwise there are "lost opportunity" in poverty reduction.

This is what the "outrage" is here. It doesn't seem like AI support benefits the merchants or the workers, but exclusively the executives and shareholders.

And this is the challenge that face AI. At face value, it's great technology, that could help everyone, but will it benefit everyone equally, or will there be losers here?

If we want AI to be more positively received, that question needs to be addressed seriously.
I'd certainly prefer it to be the case that I have free will. However me having free will is neither not compatible with my current understanding of physics, nor is free will something that I've noticed having when I carefully consider my experiences.

Free will or not, I don't see how I can change my belief system in such a way to exclude the possibility that I'm a brain in a vat, so in that sense I don't see how I can ever 100% believe my experiences match reality short of attempting to tautologically define my experiences as what reality is.

Since you claim have free will, I'd be interested in how you experience the sensation of freely choosing a movie or song title and where exactly your free will comes into play within those sensations, and of how your sensations of the task differ from mine.

I don't think you can pick and choose the plans per user? We're currently using the security features of GitLab Ultimate and as far as I've understood it, that's $99/month/user for every user you need on your GitLab license.
That's not a viable option. Sequestration be must permanent and not subject to forest fires (in the case of trees) or decomposition.
Sure, but I'm not really a believer that any government will have the political power to restructure the economy. At least nothing would actually change unless states utterly collapsed and there's loss of life.

I don't think AI is going to replace everything either. It will be a cheap knockoff replacement for a lot of decent low paying middle class jobs, enough to do real damage, but not catastrophic. We will be forced to adapt like we always do and the wealth disparity continues to widens like it has been.

I guess if anything, we'll make life so efficient that people will start to question if we need our life to be so efficient. There comes a point when you start having diminishing returns on all that efficiency. We'll still have the same problems we always do, with bad relationship breakups, or addiction, or whatever. AI will never fix those things.

So in my mind, the logical conclusion is just a march toward mediocrity and feeling handcuffed to whatever situation you were born into.
This is how this actually works:

1. Put product in bag

2. At the checkout, suddenly remember that you have to label it yourself

3. Go back to the fruit and veg section

4. Try to find the 2 to 4 digit number that denotes said product

5. Wait your turn to use one of the two scales, more usually the single functioning one

6. Realise you've forgotten the number and go find it again

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as required.

8. Print label and return to checkout

It is the antithesis of neat, and just because they don't want to install scales at the checkout.

Of course after a few years they actually got scales at the checkout, probably because all checkout systems had them and they were no longer and option, but now the cheap and barely functioning self-checkout systems have no (functioning) scales, so back to self-labeling hell.
While you can't explicitly allocate a process to E cores, I wonder if you'd be able to make a program which floods high QoS processes to saturate E cores until they are full and then launch the desired application into a P core
The real issue is they don't want to pay their workers a proper wage. This is why they offshore or overly rely on automation.
How is this decentralized? The website says direct communication between app and server node. Decentralized would be peer to peer.
I used to think this way too. Now I recognize I was naive. It's a gradual decline, and once you get to the point that you are no longer providing any value, it's probably too late to take yourself out.
That's because the European powers got obliterated in WW2 and US secured the top position, making their previous in-fighting for European and global dominance (which caused WWI and WW2) moot. Not only they couldn't even attempt to secure more power, they even lost what remained of their colonial "empires" around that time.

Post-WW2, the US as the new top dog going to grab its global spoils, went on to fight, directly (Korea, Vietnam, all the way to the modern invasions) and indirectly fuel all kinds of peripheral wars, and if the USSR was in better status and had a firmer grip globally, a major war could have been on the cards too, it came close at several times, like the Bay of Pigs. But they folded by themselves (plus there was this "mutual assured destruction thing").

So, it's more like senile people in some elderly hospice bragging how peaceful they are that they don't get into bar fights anymore - when neither their age and health, nor the conditions they're now in would make any sense for them to do so.

>...but then the network engineers showed up in force and ruined it all.

I've never met a single network engineer who had anything good to say about any of the cloud networking environments. I have met a bunch of network engineers who were told by management "go recreate our data center network in the 'cloud'. We're moving everything there over the next 18 months. No, we aren't going to re-factor any of our apps in the process."

That's why all these kludges exist in AWS and other public cloud environments.
Not referring to Shopify specifically, it's surprising to see startups who are able to increase their operational capacity with their existing workforce by using AI... and instead of instantly having freely trained and ready to go employees to grow the business, instead work to shrink their workforce, instead of putting them to work on the new problems their eventual disruptors will solve.

Automation has always been a scary threat for losing jobs for the last 30-40 years. While LLM might be different, there's almost certainly even more in the next 5-10 years we haven't imagined yet.
Just because we can’t imagine the jobs that would exist in an AI future doesn’t mean they won’t be there. And there are many ways this thing plays out where we don’t get a world of cheap AI abundance where the AI provides without limit. If nothing else the copyright maffia will do its best to prevent that future from occurring.
Unrelated but thought to follow up. When I grew up, in the 70s - 80s, I have fond memories of going to the public indoor swimming pool where I lived in a suburb to Stockholm. The smell of chlorinated water, the sounds of kids playing echoing on the tiled walls, sweating the sauna afterwards. Above all, a strict hygiene regime. No underwear in shower, sauna or pool. Just swim pants in the pool, naked in the sauna.

Somehow, this has changed. Kids don't give a shit and swim with their underwear underneath their swimpants. I don't know what the staff are doing but seems they have lost control. I am disgusted and will not visit public pools anymore. I wonder if this is a more global trend.
Probably from a more prestigious university or family background, which can cause some of that prestige to “rub off” and can assist in fund raising.

In startups this phenomenon takes the form of hires, board members, or advisors with all the right names in their CV (Stanford, Google, etc.) brought in to pump up the company’s prestige points in the eyes of potential investors.

The external stakeholders in the FDA are extremely motivated to get approval quickly. If this is a resource problem then the case for increasing the budget is clear.
The only habit you need are the regular strength exercises, especially for the stability of the back muscles.

A socialized economy does not need to come with the death of democracy. The idea that communism can only be achieved if power rests on workers through something else than legislative elections is poison.
I'm not conflating anything, and never mentioned a summary. I don't know if you're using a specialized application to view this site or something, but in a regular browser there's no summary. There's only the title, and this one neglects to say what the thing is.
Well, for a start, it's safe to assume you're not a woman or a minority. And even if you're a young healthy white male, your quality of life would be significantly worse in the 1820s. Not only would you lose access to a lot of the everyday conveniences of life today, you're also far more likely to die a young and painful death from any number of disease.

It's worth noting that there are a handful (like less than 10) vineyards in Europe have escaped infestation so far and thus have their original rootstock:

https://www.decanter.com/features/phylloxera-the-great-escap...

This includes 2 Pinot Noirs in France, 1 Tinta Barroca used to make Port in Portugal, 1 Sangiovese from Italy, 1 Monastrell from Spain, and 4 Nerello Mascalese from Sicily.

There used to be 3 Pinot Noirs in France but one succumbed in 2004 and the Monastrell in Spain is verging on succumbing.

There are also vineyards that have been planted with European rootstock since the infestination of the continent. These include vineyards in Portugal, Sicily, California, Chile, and Australia where soil conditions prevent the bugs from getting to the roots.
Exactly my question as well? Its like saying Tabasco the sweetest honey in the market!
About 320 trees per square mile in continental US.

10^9 trees.
Area of continental US is 3,119,884 square miles.
10^9 / 3,119,884 = 320.5 trees per square mile.

Throw in Alaska which has an area of 665,400 square miles were at about 264 trees per square mile. Get Canada to help out -- that about halves the number.

Let's see. Plant 10,000 per day.

10^9 / (365 * 10000) = 274 years.

OK that's seems a bit unreasonable.
For them to do that, they would need to release a free but extremely limited version of GPT-3, that is downloadable but much better than all the other free LLMs like Llama 2.

Then they can justify increasing the price of either GPT-4 (with more features) or directly in GPT-4.5.

Otherwise they cannot compete against Meta in the race to zero.
I wish.

A client of mine decided to ditch Jira last year. Now what they do is use a much simpler system but with a ton of manual wrangling going on constantly. Lots of duplication across boards, most tickets are in the wrong state, nobody knows who's supposed to be handling any given task. I'm mostly trying to stay away from it.

Your theory works if there are only developers, and they are all competent. Throw the usual mix non-dev staff into the mix along with the and it's a mess.
