No, it is really not.

You left out the "accelerate forward" bit. That changes your reference frame. Without changing your reference frame, you don't get FTL to turn into time travel.

If you have FTL but on a time scale determined by one reference frame, then as I pointed out in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37012594, no causality issues exist. You need FTL in 2 reference frames to create a closed time-like loop.

There are extremely few people whose software transformed my life as much as Vim did. I know people would say that Vim is just an editor, but to me it rekindled the spark by giving me the direction I was looking for in this limitless world of computers. The fact that something can be so damn powerful and precise under the hood while coming across as just a blank screen with a blinking cursor changed the way I thought about software. I know this community took you for granted sometimes, but I couldn't be more thankful for this incredible piece of technology and the way you used it to give back even more to the community. Thank you, Bram.
I use the app xSearch, which lets you use custom search engines with Safari. Once you turn on override mode inside of xSearch, it works perfect. I agree that it’s unfortunate, but for the time being anyone who’s going out of their way to pay for Kagi is someone who will go out of their way to install an app like xSearch. Hopefully we see some improvements from Apple with this
I think sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup, is even worse than alcohol, tobacco, crack, and heroin.
It’s actually you who are making the distinction. The article doesn’t mention whether or not the filmed people were “in public” or whether they were only “publicly observable” (whatever that means). One of the videos I know for a fact occurred in a shopping mall, which is private property that is open to the public. I assume this means “publicly observable” in your definition.

But in either case, in regards to your original comment, how did you determine these people were "in public" instead of "publicly observable"?

Okay.

"Define a set of portable, modular, runtime-independent, and WebAssembly-native APIs which can be used by WebAssembly code to interact with the outside world. These APIs preserve the essential sandboxed nature of WebAssembly through a Capability-based API design."

That's the first goal.

Everything you've just mentioned is relevant to people implementing the spec, given its wide scope and nature. It is not reducible complexity.

It is not a drop-in replacement for POSIX (i.e. it is not "a standard for 50 functions"); it goes beyond that, and aims to provide a secure and modular way to interact with the system where capabilities can be delegated or reduced.

LibreOffice and MS Office are quite similar. Unless you're a VBA programmer, you will get used to it very quickly. In fact, you can even change the UI to be similar to MS Office' ribbons:

https://hexus.net/tech/news/software/127301-libreoffice-62-n...

But there also lies the rub, because MS Office' ribbon mechanism has, in my experience, reduced typical users' proficiency with the application, and they are less likely to be aware of more advanced functionality.

Yes, Intel had pointless restraints on pin counts; the 8008 processor was barely allowed 18 pins. So the 8080 designers were lucky that they got all the way to 40 pins. Federico Faggin has ranted about this in a few places.

As far as applications of the bus, multiprocessing was a big motivation. Intel had big plans with their Multibus. Intel had more plans for coprocessors as well. They introduced the 8089 I/O coprocessor to provide mainframe-style channel I/O, but it wasn't very popular.
Demand is outstripping supply because the government prohibits high density housing from being built in existing low density areas and imposes rules that make new construction more expensive.

> A large portion of the supply is being held by investors like landlords which restricts the supply.

Because they expect the value tomorrow will be higher than the value today, because they expect demand to increase over time while the government continues to inhibit new construction. Stop inhibiting new construction and they'll want to sell now before the price comes down. (Which will make the price come down sooner.)

The incentive to not rent existing units is also a predictable consequence of things like rent control and laws that make it hard to evict non-paying tenants. Don't increase the risk of providing a thing and expect that to lower the price.

I'm not sure if that's a quip or a serious point but that is because Stephen Hawking in old age lost that capacity, not because he principally lacked it.

As a long-time ham, I can attest to the problems with interference. In my experience, worldwide military radar systems and shortwave broadcasters have been the worst problems in the past.

This new system incorporates digital modulation techniques that generate square waves. Such square waves contain harmonic overtones that will reach far outside the assigned frequencies at levels that will cause interference (as is apparent from the FCC applicant's system description). Hams use digital modulation methods, too, but at power levels and bandwidths that tend to keep the problems under control.

Also, I am not quite sure why the FCC seems to have such global authority here - hams across the planet (especially in the highly financialized northern hemisphere) will have to deal with this, not just Americans. I expect this will also have to pass muster with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) before it has a chance to operate globally.

The need for this system has such limited public benefit that it's hard to justify how such inherently scarce open RF spectrum should be allocated to already wealthy financial institutions for private profit-seeking ventures that produce virtually nothing of public value. I understand why they want it, but this should be a hard NO as I see it right now.
Good hypotheses both! “We’ve never been able to pin something this size before” covers a lot of wiggle room. So to speak.

(FWIW I’m thrilled about the possibility of a rtrp drop this year, and I have to assume 'pera is as well. But this video doesn’t look just like flux pinning we’ve seen before. It’s visibly a little different in a way that wants explanation. I wouldn’t come out the gate calling it a hoax, but I’d feel better about not doing that if the basis for skepticism were at least acknowledged.)

Not the parent poster, but they could have added uncharted Oort cloud object collisions, extra-solar system objects, quasar/interstellar jets, nuclear war, runaway climate change, mega volcano/caldera eruptions, bio-engineered runaway viruses, and probably a few other potentially life ending events for humanity that would bring that 'billion' number down by several orders of magnitude for likelihood of our extinction.
Being fundamentally incapable of feeling content, relaxed, and at ease for more than about three seconds is certainly not the most debilitating thing that could happen to you, and it can make you dogged and tireless, but it’s also not the normal human condition.

It’s a cruel paradox. A constant background of quiet anxiety, permanent absence of satisfaction, risk taking behavior combined with gripping fear of failure, and a perpetual quest for more can be a great adaptation in an unstable and insecure environment. However, it’s not exactly a blessing.

Yep, at the end of the day what prevents tyranny from taking over everywhere is the fact that the ruling class has to live in the same world and use the same economy as everyone else. You see this dynamic up and down the government. Big business needs to be able to access machines that don't have all this locked-down crap. I'm not super-worried about the copyright lobby's fervent wish to make it impossible to use a general purpose machine. They're going to eventually run right up against corporate America's full-throated embrace of open source.

Sure, ordinary people already are heavily spied on and restricted. But the machines doing the spying and restricting have to run their own OSes as well. The inverse of the 'who watches the watchers' problem.

Perhaps they measured the temperature of the espresso shot post extraction, in the cup (or more formal receptacle!), where it would be cooler than the water meeting the ground coffee.

Also, a Gaggia Classic (as an example - they don’t specify which model they use) does not have a PID. Temperature of the espresso leaving the group head drops during the extraction.
And honestly, the separation has a lot of utility. Companies like Raytheon or Lockheed might as well be DOD entities, but by having this layer of public private separation you are able to not only firewall sensitive technologies from certain forms of inquiry if they were held in the public government, but also have the opportunity to profit off these public investments through the stock of the private company.

Making changes on your own property impacts other people's property. There isn't a conspiracy to prevent people from accumulating water. They want to prevent idiots from flooding their neighbors or completely cutting them off from water.

These types of laws formed when companies actually abused water rights and completely shut off access to anyone further downstream from them. Imagine a series of farms along a river. Then a mining company come along and sets up operation closer to the source. Since mining is very water intensive, they divert the river for their own uses cutting off access to the farms which used to depend on it. That's supposed to just be okay?

>There isn't a testable definition of GI [...]

This to me is the fundamental issue in discussions and debates about LLMs. Despite assertions by some psychologists (who themselves are practitioners of perhaps the fuzziest of "sciences"), intelligence is an entirely nebulous concept. Everyone means something different when they use the word. I can think of no better illustration of the problem than the authors of the "Sparks of AGI" paper resorting to a definition of intelligence presented in the Wall Street Journal of all places. That the WSJ definition was part of an editorial defending the Bell Curve is just the cherry on top.
That's not what the GP is saying. The claim is that the inability to answer about culture isn't a sign of a lack of intelligence.
I agree that it's a big change in the economics of getting art (e.g. a single game dev can now plausibly get assets this way), but I'm not sure that it's a change in the "cognitive" process of creation. This is in response to the original comment that suggests that novel combinations are interesting.

The machine is clearly good at realizing novel combinations, but I think that has more to do with the lack of interest of human artists in rendering these combinations, rather than the lack of ability.

I am also of the opinion that a human realization would produce better art. A machine might literally depict the bear in a pool, but a human could imagine a logically consistent context for that to be happening and decorate the pool with details like the leaderboard of the Teddy Bear Olympics and have reporters and spectators that are other stuffed animals. There might be a rivalry in progress. The distinguishing feature for me so far has been that human art is a snapshot of a much more sophisticated simulation that draws from the experience of having lived, felt things like fear, tension, joy directly, rather than having to approximate the aspects that give new art its electric nature indirectly as the machines do.

I'm sure a machine will be able to do that someday, but most of my experience with Dall-E 2 has been for the background to be vague, blurry, and weirdly unintentionally surreal. The prompt itself is maybe rendered accurately 95% of the time.
I believe most of the issues with broken link behaviour results from the lack of higher-level methods to override the default link behaviour.

An example: I don't really want to add a click event listener to a link to make it display in a modal (or whatever). Because this event is too low-level and now my listener needs to check modifier keys. What I really want is to somehow tell the browser "if the current window URL is about to change via this anchor element, call this function instead". The user is still free to open their links in new windows or tabs and my code will not be triggered for those cases.

A CSS example: I don't really want to set cursor images for every element and pseudo-class. I'm forced to list every element that uses the cursor I'm overriding. What I really want is to tell the browser "use this custom cursor image wherever you were going to use the default (hand/wait/resize/etc) cursor". My code would then be future-proofed for new elements/UI.

Sometimes I feel that certain browser APIs suffer from the XY problem.
I once boarded a small 8 seater plane in Alaska and joked with the pilot if there would be an air-hostess serving drinks. He said no but he said he won't weigh my luggage before it is put in the card.

A lot of LLM criticism is like that joke. People seem to complain too much about LLM not being what they want it to be without realizing that they are indeed much better than what we could have built 20 years ago.

If LLMs can be proven to add economic value that is good enough. They are in themselves useful with all their limitations. If they are profitable people will invest more in them and over time we will have better understanding of AGI and other aspects of intelligence.

> This seems like a mathematical trick -- pretending like perfectly smooth functions exist in reality -- which is then extrapolated from in bizarre and unilluminating ways.

Given that it is common to make certain claims about the model of NM (e.g. determinism and reversibility) a mathematical trick that demonstrates this is not true is a valid refutation of claims about the model.

You can use NM to model other physically impossible systems (such as objects with arbitrarily high rigidity or arbitrarily low friction), but they are not internal contradictions within the NM model, so are less valid for criticism of NM.
I vaguely remember that you used to be able to host a website, share files etc from broadband routers. Maybe that was only with rooted/flashed ones. Makes a lot more sense than hosting a site from a phone.
The problem, as always is about the definitions and the power associated with controlling those definitions. Does a fine wine count as food? What about an imported fruit? If the US made it illegal to profit on food I think we'd see rapid regulatory capture that supported some of the worst agri-business behemoths. (e.g. what happens to the local farmers that I prefer to support? They probably need a bigger profit margin than they have already, and can't even hope to compete at scale)

I agree with your intent here, but the devil is in the details.
"The team also developed button-size capacitors with different ratios of cement to carbon black but found that while adding more carbon black (above 10 percent by volume) to the mixture increased its storage capacity, this came at the cost of the cement’s structural integrity. And for the use cases that Ulm and colleagues have in mind, the structural strength of the cement is essential."

From this it seems that below a certain amount of carbon black being used, the structural strength is not affected.

Vincent (John Travolta):
How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.

Jules(Samuel L Jackson):
I don't eat dog either.

Vincent (John Travolta):
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

Jules(Samuel L Jackson):
I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Vincent (John Travolta):
Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
