No, you're correct: it being China is the main reason. And it's a sufficient reason for banning it in my mind: cyber warfare is real warfare. It is understood that the government is spying on users of social media (one of several reasons I don't use any either). It's embarrassing for them to admit it, and it undermines any other arguments they could try to make about it, though. If you are claiming a moral high ground, you can't just openly admit you're as bad as the other guy.
Interesting. I did the same within just my team. We used Confluence to publish those, describing accomplishments of every IC. This initiative was started to appreciate the work of the team, so I still was concerned if anyone were reading those reports apart from my team, but I never had a question from the Steering Committee "what all of these peeps doing there?" since I started.

Question: what the format you have used (number of words)? Kind of a release notes? Was anyone actually reading those?

Transhumanism applies to basic everyday things like glasses, crutches, chairs, cars, etc. Some have even suggested (with basis) that sharable ideas can be a form of transhumanism.

I'm curious what the authors' true position is. They talk about the ideal being a "natural state". How "natural" are we talking about? No medicine? No farm equipment? No language? Just a bunch of primates grunting at each other ineffectively?

Maybe I should be more critical of how technology is evolving our species, but attacking transhumanism as an idea is reminiscent of the luddites.
That's really awesome, thank you!

I agree about the programming models not being parallel by default, and that's one of the things that I specifically rail against in most of my comments. MATLAB/Octave is a good introduction to what parallel programming could be. Also the endless doubling down on large caches, because the multicore design I have in mind would mostly eliminate cache and use that die area for cores and local memories.

I think we're slightly talking past each other here though. The CPU I want to build would have around 10-256 cores on 90s tech. So the same transistors holding 1 Pentium Pro would allow for 1-2 orders of magnitude more MIPS or RISC-V cores and local memories. The design is so simple that I think that's why it was missed by the big fabs.

Today there's little demand for 1000+ cores, but that's partly because nobody can see what they could do. But we can't design the thing, because the status quo has us all working pedal to the metal in first gear to make rent. It's a chicken and egg problem that has a lower likelihood of being solved as time goes on. Which is why I think we're on the wrong timeline, because if the system worked then actual innovation would become more accessible over time.
> They are just expensive to build, expensive to maintain and go out of date fast enough that they're practically ephemeral.

I agree with this if you're using drag-and-drop diagramming tools. Diagrams-as-code is a potential solution IMO: https://www.ilograph.com/blog/posts/its-time-to-drop-drag-an...
I believe that one of the big things that diagrams help with is maintaining state while having a conversation. You don't have to keep track of so many things in your head and it works in a similar way to the "tell ’em what you’re gonna tell ’em, tell ’em, and then tell ’em what you’ve told ’em" style of presenting--your audience gets to see up front what journey you are taking them on.

There's a great book by Abby Covert about diagrams in general: "Stuck? Diagrams help."[1]

From a learning perspective, having multimodal[2] options, such as a mix of visual (diagrams), reading, and videos/audio can really help with onboarding. Different people learn better with different methods, and different methods work better in different contexts, for example I personally hate sitting at my desk watching a video, but enjoy doing so on my phone while commuting.

Now that you mention it, I'm really curious if it could correct it's steering enough to stay in the lane with a deflated tire
Can anyone help clarify what license this is released under? The original was AGPL if the rewrite is permissively licensed that would be pretty cool.
I've been using it for a few years and am a happy customer. However - what deleteme does is remove you from "Spokeo"-type websites, it will do nothing to protect you against the issue in this article, which is people buying your data from the credit bureaus.
Huh? Cruise were given street permits long ago.
If the KPI is not an objective number (for instance, profit ratio or absolute revenue or Lifetime Value per Customer for x vertical) available on a dashboard I think it is not useful.

You can set up OKRs like improving customer experience and, at the end of the day, someone will declare that they have been accomplished or not based on their preference of employees or mood. That is functionally the same as saying this bonus is optional and we might give it to you if we feel like it.

It is a pity because well chosen KPIs that employees try to optimize for can make a company work great. But they need to be _very_ well chosen. This, like economics indicators, often requires creativity and technical knowledge.

It'll always be more expensive to extract carbon from the atmosphere, but if it produces a valuable byproduct and the power to run the process is very cheap (excess solar) it might still pencil out.
I'm curious if anyone has stories about making this work in the long run.

It seems like such a natural division of labor that it appears everywhere. But I also feel like I've never seen a company explicitly optimize processes around it.

So I'm curious to hear any battle stories.
> Four very powerful billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen—are creating a world where “nothing is true and all is spectacle.”

Where is this from? The quote marks make it sound like something one of them may have said or at least that is a well known quote, but the only references turned up by searching are this article.

> These four men have long been regarded as technologically progressive heroes, but [not any more]

This seems to be what's upset the author (a professor, what a shock). When they were progressive heros, no problem. Once they start doing things like publicly doubting the wisdom of the emeritus set, they become a Fab Four of autocrats who are single-handedly responsible for "post-truth reality".

This article seems to have no real value or merit, it's just the progressive media/academic class doing a hit job on anyone it regards as an ideological traitor. It routinely descends into LLM-style gibberish hallucination, like when the author claims that interplanetary colonization is "an existential risk to the world in political, economic, and, perhaps most fundamentally, moral terms". Yep, Mars colonies are immoral.

Really, who cares what some random self-proclaimed educator thinks? Just one of these four guys have done more for progress than the author and everyone like him ever will.

> State corporate or other business activity taxes can apply, if even a single employee is working in a state. In effect, if an employer did not previously have a recognized office in a state, but one employee starts working from there, this can trigger entirely new registration requirements and tax liabilities. It may be necessary to register with the secretary of state and relevant tax authorities, provide a registered agent address, and pay corporate and business activity taxes, sales taxes and employment taxes, including employee withholding. There are often state and local licenses and business permits as well.

I use Mozilla's Container Tabs extension for most of this. Unless you specifically want to keep settings/extensions/etc in specific, separate profiles, they're a good in-between solution. In my case, having a single FF instance is desirable as I would juggle between too many profiles which would need similar extensions for completely switching profiles and windows to be a good experience.
> What's the real threat of TikTok to the US?

It's the same threat that Hollywood and Jazz music had to the USSR and the same threat that Facebook and Reddit has to the CCP.
I assume that this primarily benefits games and not any deep learning right? The most attractive aspect of Mac M1 is the huge memory boost. Might not be great for training due to the inability to distribute across multiple cards, but it makes for a great inference engine for stable diffusion, llama, and other large models.
A: Funneling data from its users directly to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). Corps in China have a special relationship with the government, unlike the US. A CCP party member accompanies the CEO and is present for major decisions. Often, company policies are dictated by the government and handed down by the party member assigned to the company. The CCP has access to the data that companies collect, which includes all the data generated by American citizens. This does not only include the video content, but location information and any other kinds of device fingerprinting they can come up with.

B: TikTok has different algorithms for different countries, the algorithm in China is tuned to show young people science, technology, and inspirational content, which was dictated by the CCP. The US algorithm shows young people anything that will keep them "engaged", which usually includes ragebait and all kinds of unhealthy things.

When I worked at a hedge fund being introduced to Python after years of working in spreadsheets was a revelation. ChatGPT/Copilot have dramatically reduced the cost of switching to the IDE for bankers/investors/consultants who make up Microsoft 365's core user base.

Surprising that Microsoft would give users this gateway drug, but I suppose the reasoning is that you can keep your users by making Excel a quasi-IDE.
So now you want to know for how long it can keep accelerating.

That one is a good question to ask. If the rate of change can be sustained is not. And by the way, linearly extrapolating the current rate of change into the future, like you did on your original comment is equality useless.

But yes, this one comment has a useful model. By the way, you can look how much rare earth elements are actually needed, how much mining them can grow, how much space are there for the panels, and how much the panel price can theoretically fall. I don't think anything I say will convince you, so yeah, go look, because your comment shows a lack of awareness of any of those factors.

But of course, it won't keep the exponential growth for 30 years. That would make the PV output orders of magnitude larger than our current energy consumption. If nothing yields by them, it will stop for lack of demand. Demanding it to keep going for that long is completely unreasonable.
> The issue here is that you're rejecting a clear explanation of your externalities.

No, the issue here is Jobs making a legitimate point in the most emotionally manipulative way he could think of.
No, not as such. But it would entail that they could actually advocate at all for something, rather than just spewing unknowing language trajectories for some people to anthropomorphize.
Yeah, thanks. We only support GitHub Actions because of the authentication model it offer with JWTs. We're planning on expanding to support other forges, and eventually local publishing, too.

In the meantime, you could use a GitHub action to clone your repository from another forge and publish it, if you wanted to.
Here's a good Q&A as well as links to some good reads there: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1168131/how-to-measure-s...

KPIs (as a target) are undoubtedly good for something that's directly benefit the company (with the caveat of long or short period), and the task is static. This is good for 40 years ago where factory worker are a thing, which nowadays, those good KPIs are mostly replaced with machine specifications.

What those people's complaining about the KPIs are for knowledge tasks, usually software development, where it's full of uncertainty and almost impossible to estimate (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadter's_law). If you can't estimate the work, how can you make targets? You can only measure it and hope that the measurement can help for future estimation.

People aren't taught VBA in school, as far as I know, and that was already there.
Nice tips.

I would add: embrace tab containers (https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/utiliser-conteneurs-firefo...), especially if you love chrome profiles.

They do half of what profiles do: they isolate cache, cookies, sessions, etc. But they do so in a very light manner and fast manner. The UI is better too. So for things that don't need getting different settings or extensions and so on, containers are the way to go.
> This pretty much lines up with what meditation has done for me. However, the pursuit of "states" can be a trap in of itself.

Interesting, after a certain point you get diminishing returns and once you've eliminated or solved the things conflicting you, then staying in a meditative state becomes an illusory trap to avoid life and living.

I knew a guy who did just that. Would spend hours meditating to the point where he avoided living. It seemed to be more like avoidance rather than being able to enjoy the gift of living without the troubles that come with it which meditation solves.

Great blog post from Vectara's Tallat and Talip: explaining the various approaches to vector search.
The music industry wasn't just handing out blanket streaming rights until Spotify showed up. All the other services of the era sucked -- their libraries were patchy and music streaming looked very much like TV streaming is today where every show lives under a different provider. It took freaking Apple to convince the music industry to allow single track sales and thats why we were in that state until the mid 2010's when Spotify came in and started to clean house.

The music industry was not looking to break the stranglehold they had on CD sales. Someone had to come in with a 'shoot first ask questions later' attitude to get to where we are today.

Uber and Lyft did what they did for the same reason -- the (oftentimes mafia-backed) taxi cartels had a monopoly on pricing and taxi medallions and the only realistic way to break that was to operate illegally.

I think you will find that the law (and copyright) to be extremely overrated. Copyright, in particular, should not exist in its current form, especially with digital data that is not bound by the laws of physics or physicality, to say nothing of the various entities which have carved out most of the royalties that an artist can make for themselves.
In my case it lead to secretly accumulating anxiety until it blew up in my face after 35. I believe OP is similar.

Sticking to the process of struggle has its own benefits, but it also may make you wake up one day and realize it was 10 years of struggling nowhere while everyone around enjoyed life and achieved at least the same. Worst case is when you’re 50+ at that realization.

Maybe gym is not a good target for my criticism, as it changes the chemistry in a positive way. But I doubt that psychological struggle does any good, unless you’re regularly seeing a therapist or have a great self-reflection ability.
I think the concept of "Remove yourself from all major data broker websites for 1 year." is what worries me, like do they just resubmit your info once you stop paying?

In Hinduism, meditation is not just a calming practice, but an actual movement toward God. And in the tradition I follow, it is also not for beginners. Basic discipline — the following of the Yamas (restraints of non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, etc.) — is recommended first.
> What's your take on the article's take that they feel this plausible hypothesis is challenged by their study?

In short, I'm not convinced that they have the right data. They're using numbers that are relatively easy to come by or compute (e.g., current L2 speaker estimates), and it's not at all clear that this is the right set of numbers to use (see all of the comments here complaining that fusional complexity being used as a proxy for grammatical complexity).

Calling something idiotic without details is an empty objection.

Calling two of the most powerful thought experiments in philosophy of mind and consciousness idiotic without details is less than empty, it's ridiculous.

My objection has nothing to do with "links". I am objecting to the method of acting as if there haven't been hundreds and hundreds of years of work on this subject. That's not an empty objection. It's pointing out that the method is wrong. Which is a substantive point. It doesn't have to be followed up with my own naive theory on the subject to be so.
I'd extend this to anyone on friendly terms with them, so both major political parties, PGA, etc. These are their supporters enabling all of their behavior.
Of course. I'm not asserting otherwise. I'm also not disagreeing with the underlying point. What I'm disagreeing with is engaging in highly manipulative emotional language -- which isn't even technically correct -- to make it.
