>While strong AI might be one path to achieving AGI, there is no scientific consensus on methods for determining whether machines possess strong AI attributes such as consciousness

Maybe we should employ the methods we use to ascertain that fellow human beings are conscious entities with subjective experience?

Also, consciousness probably optional for intelligence:

We moved overseas (military) and our son wasn't going to be able to keep up with his state-side peers so we homeschooled him through Oak Meadows, with my mom, a recently retired math prof, handling his math education. Oak Meadows was solid. An actual teacher reviewed work and tests with him. This was in a remote outpost many timezones from the US, before the pandemic. 10/10 would do it again. But we also shopped really hard, like, for years.

I'm currently trying to get through a InfoSec questionnaire for a large company, one of their requirements has been that we purchase over $1m of cyber limit.

2. Have a physical premises.
3. Don't use API keys.

It is critical for optimal human health that we eat large quantities of meat.

Food is not fungible. Proteins are not fungible. Fats are not fungible.

There are dozens of chemically and metabolically significant differences between what you get when you eat vegetables vs fruits vs bugs vs chicken vs beef. Protein uptake ratios, SFA/MUFA/PUFA ratios, indigestible protein (chitin etc.) ratios, etc.

It is, quite simply, not feasible to maintain the standard of health and vitality that I personally require while eating vegetables (or bugs).

> Is meat addictive like sugar?

No, it's addictive like water.

> Are meat and sugar so overwhelmingly pleasurable to us

Sugar is pleasurable because it's an unnatural hyperstimulus that we aren't well-adapted for. Meat is pleasurable because it's one of the most nutritious possible foods for humans (perhaps second only to milk). It's not a hyperstimulus at all; your body is accurately reflecting its nutritional value.

These are the kinds of things that annoy me in relation to celebrities. For instance, Taylor Swift/Kanye could raise this issue and probably single-handedly cause enough upset to have this changed/removed.

In terms of the government using it for ransom, well, the other side should absolutely say they'll shutdown government if these privacy overreaches are not removed. Put the pressure back on and vocalise the absurdity of the situation. But hey, it's not a wild guess to say both sides are really in support of the measure and use the 'ransom' as an excuse to pass it.
Humans eat bugs for a very long time, and are doing that right now. Read a bit about bugs in native Central African and South American cuisines.

No; the computational cost of storing and navigating hashes will eventually exceed the cost of just running it locally. Even assuming that most of the work is done server side, the power (and latency) cost of making a POST request would probably exceed most basic calculations. My intuition says this would fail on a lot of levels.

One immediate problem is that you have to map the complexity space of an infinite number of inputs and outputs to even meaningfully store a signature of the computation. The complexity of the input is probably larger than the output, in most cases. That makes "searching" for a solution almost pointless out of the gate.
> It's because it ensures everyone can use the same web and gives the user agent as much power as possible to act on the user's behalf.

Those aren't the principles underlying HTML, and I doubt Tim Berners-Lee was thinking about that at all when he designed HTML. Instead, he was trying to design a format which could be read by both machines and humans, which is why "semantic" HTML elements were introduced. In the end, LLMs were what allowed machines to understand web pages, not semantic HTML elements.

If we do want to make this about accessibility, anyone who has worked with screen readers knows that semantic HTML has failed on that front too. Screen readers rarely understand fancy elements. Instead we often have to create obscene DOM structures to get the reader to say something reasonable, which is at complete odds with the ideals of the semantic web.
If you look at the example of the Suez canal, where some 700 species from the Red Sea have now colonized the eastern Mediterranean, the idea of directly connecting the Pacific and the Caribbean sounds like an environmental disaster. Not to mention the difference in sea level - there would be a lot of water flowing west to east before that balanced out, and raising the sea level in the Caribbean does not seem likely to make anyone happy.

What I meant is to add both the clockwise and counter-clockwise variant of same gesture. Rotations are another matter, $1 unistroke can be made to be either sensitive or insensitive to gesture rotation, depending what you want. Often you'd want to discern "7" from "L".

Uni-stroke is much more elegant input method than multi-stroke. You can react to user's gesture as soon as they lift the mouse button (or stylus or finger), without introducing some arbitrary delay. Users can learn and become very fast at using gestures. Multi-stroke on the other hand requires coordination of each stroke with previous ones and to me it doesn't justify its complexity. I admit I have preference the software where users adapt and become proficient, while many products with wider audience need to be more accessible towards beginners. Different strokes...
This is what code reviews are for.

> It’s amazing to me that as a society we’re so attached to animal protein that we’d rather farm bugs than just eat vegetables.

Hold up, are you suggesting consumers want to buy processed grasshopper-protein over of processed vegetable-protein because they're so very emotionally attached to it coming from a squirming insect?

That seems like quite an unnecessary reach.

Surely a much simpler answer is that those options are simply not the same when it comes to culinary-science and/or manufacturing requirements.

Later in the article, it says that they might give up their bid, which sounds to me like they had contracts that needed fulfillment with expensive penalties. Probably made the bid to hedge their bets, and are working right now to renegotiate penalties to account for unforeseen circumstances.
> How can you not see the difference here?

Each of the 2 groups wants to inconvenience the other group. You’re free to argue “positive action” (whatever that means) or make one group out as worse than the other though. I just happen to think that both are equally right/wrong (which is to say not at all).

> I can't help but see this as an extremely entitled position that is requiring other people to go out of their way to accommodate your desires

Oh, so like when a WFH person says, “I don’t want to ever come into the office”? They’re making anyone whose desires include not working with remote workers accommodate their desires.

Again, I can’t state this plainly enough: Nobody is right and nobody is wrong here.

We’re talking about groups of people with different preferences and unfortunately these preferences are at odds. Two of these groups include:

• People who would like to work in an office only with people who are also in that office – no remote work.

• People who strongly prefer remote work.

It is a question of which group does the company choose to upset. Of course there are other groups involved as well, but you get the idea. Somebody is going to be upset to some degree.

If they choose to upset the pro-office people, they are not wrong! If they choose to upset the WFH people, they are also not wrong! If they choose to upset everyone they are not wrong!
It would not work.

The locks are like a ship elevator. If they weren't there the inland waterway would drain and there wouldn't be water to float on anymore.
No, voids are normal in these types of simulations and are observed in real world observations as well. Some dark energy alternatives actually looked at the effect of voids on our observations, but could not sufficiently explain the observed acceleration.
They might be "cheating" with methods that significantly degrade quality.
Yeah this was the only good thing about zelle...once you got money...you had it.

The canal is significantly higher than the ocean. The French tried and failed to dig a canal straight through and the eventual solution was to use locks to raise the ships on each side and then lower on the other side.

I'm not sure why they can't just pump ocean water up into the canal. Perhaps it's just too much water to be feasible.
Regular Mint and POP are Ubuntu based so if Canonical goes away tomorrow or more realistically bought by some big hostile company, what could you use? From the big distros run by foundations only Debian is truly community driven and OpenSUSE is independent but backed by a company. Fedora is owned by RH and can start doing the same bullshit as Ubuntu any day if they wish so. Arch and NixOS are community distros but both are kinda niche.
This is silly and reductive. You make different design for manufacturing choices at different steps of product development and volume.

In some cases, you may luck out and find that a widely available dev board is actually a really good match for your needs, in which case, run with it. You'll cut out a lot of NRE and get your product in customers hands faster. Once you've shown that you can sell in volume, do a DFM pass for V2 to minimize cost. OP probably fits this case, as all they need is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, depending on their eventual power solution.

If you find that you're taking a dev board and soldering a lot of extra components to it, then I agree, you want to move to a custom PCB before doing any real volume. But you still might make a dozen first cuts with this and a 3d printed case to see how some product beta testers respond.
React is not a framework.

It is a fancy HTML templating library first and foremost and you should use it when you need HTML templates, which means you that can use as little or as much of it as you want.

No left wing? The US has essentially become socialist.
> Which is a better use of 50k? To give one adult one extra year, or the same money to reduce child mortality for a hundred strangers in a different country?

Better for whom? Morals are always subjective to your point of view. While points of view of different people sometimes, and even quite often, align with each other enough so that we can talk about shared morals between them, they don't necessary do this all the time. Especially in a scenario of allocation of limited resources.

In the end the only thing that really matters, though, is the point of view of the person who owns these 50k, and nobody else's.
Here is that terrible confusion: “Is that a price or a name? Ah, a name”
You call an accountant and find out. I pay 30$ per month, someone in another country may pay $300-3000+ per month. It also greatly depends on your revenue and other factors.

In terms of relevant quantities and relevant markets (e.g. not Atom or gaming laptops), Intel CPUs have only been "shipping" with those extensions for around 2.5 years, not 4.

It also entrenches the Big Tech. Because what FAANG and big banks can pay, no startup or small company can afford.

Roe v. Wade is a typical originalist example because they came up with first and third trimester lines for regulating a medical procedure that the authors of the document they were interpreting did not know existed.

A much older example is the authority of the supreme court to interpret the constitution. It's actually a self-assigned power that built up over the first fifty or so years of the United States' history as they grew bolder in challenging the legality of laws. It is not conferred in the constitution.
It's really not what I want to be doing on a vacation. The bargain is a hotel discount in exchange for a sales pitch. Sounded ok when I booked the vacation. Really annoying when it was preventing me from getting to the next fun thing.

Would you want to spend 2-3 hours of a 3-day vacation negotiating a new car price? If no, then maybe you also don't want to spend 3 hours saying, "No, thank you" to a very nice timeshare salesperson and you should spend it at the beach, in front of slot machines, or getting drunk instead.

Not all of your time is the same.
All of these "beef is bad for the environment" articles are written by vegan activists, seventh day adventists, or other extremist groups who have a political agenda against meat.

The amount of methane emissions from all beef agriculture today is within a factor of like 3 of the natural methane emissions from American bison prior to colonization of the Americas.

All of these analyses completely ignore the base rate of methane emissions in the absence of cattle, whether from preexisting natural ruminants, from e.g. the fungal decomposition of plant matter that would have occurred on grasslands anyway, or from "meat substitutes".

Even if the methane emission was 10x the absurdly inflated figures that anti-meat extremists try to claim, it would still be overwhelmingly worth it for me to consume it for the health benefits. It would be better for society to spend Manhattan-Project-plus-NASA levels of our GDP on methane catalysis/capture technology, if it were actually necessary, than to stop eating ruminant meat.

The sycophancy bias is part of OpenAI's alignment, its not necessarily an inherit property of LLMs. Even the "default" personalities of some llama models are far less agreeable in a chat format.

I mostly agree with you, but there are a couple other bullet points I like to throw in the mix:

- Length extension attacks. I think all of the SHA-3 candidates did the right thing here, and we would never accept a new cryptographic hash function that didn't do the right thing here, but SHA-2 gets a pass for legacy reasons. That's understandable, but we need to replace it eventually.

- Kind of niche, but BLAKE3 supports incremental verification, i.e. checking the hash of a file while you stream it rather learning whether it was valid at the end of the stream. https://github.com/oconnor663/bao. That's useful if you know the hash of a file but you don't necessarily trust the service that's storing it.
