Save Wisdom Project: 1000 Questions
If we're just 50 years away from an existential risk, that does strike me as an urgent concern and a narrow timeline.
You might find this article interesting : https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200108-the-medications-...
Tracing the source of potential human nature involves tracing the instincts engraved in human (biological) genes to survive, reproduce, and pass the time.

From there, more instincts details are derived next level. Eating to ensure survival, sexual behavior to promote reproduction, chatting & entertainment & playing game to pass the time. Further down to the next level, eating, breaking down, digesting, and transforming ensure a perfect eating system; foreplay, gestures, and battles promote efficient sexual behavior; and morals, etiquette, and rules promote a more efficient chatting.

In the process of human evolution, it is only by constantly breaking the instincts of the previous level that we can realize the self beyond the status quo and drive society forward dramatically.

For example, the food tasting has contributed to the extensive development of the restaurant industry. On the contrary, if the most basic survival instincts of human beings are guaranteed by the "development of meal replacement routes", then human beings have to say goodbye to sensory and spiritual enjoyment that is not aimed at survival.

Similarly, human sexual behavior out of a kind of reproduction instinct, the depth of the reproduction instinct carving in the genes is far above the survival, after all, the cycle of sexual behavior is much longer than eating, even in today's highly developed sexual culture, it's still can not be compared. Thus, the provocative dress and language of the opposite sex can be a trigger for sexual impulsive behavior, may be you thinking it's love, but it is essentially drived by reproduction. Only by stepping out of the sexual impulse driven by the instinct to reproduce can you enter the sexual liberation that does not aim at reproduction, and only by stepping out of the sexual liberation driven by pure sensual stimulation can you enter the "ultimate art of perfect synchronized interpretation of the material and spiritual worlds of sight, touch, sound, smell, taste, and spirit". If so, the development of couples relations will be greatly facilitated.

The "development of meal replacement" mentioned above can be said to be a kind of instinctual deep-rooting, even through the form of high technology, it is still a kind of instinctual deep-rooting, which inhibits the self-transcendence of human beings and social progress, and even causes degradation. AI, which is currently in full swing, is also a kind of instinctual deep-rooting, and AGI is even worse than it, as it deep-roots the instinct of "avoiding thinking" derived from "pass the time". Maybe AI is good for a few people, but for all human beings, represented by "the vast majority of people who are driven by instincts", it may cause the degradation of human thinking ability. So AI replacement the evolution of human beings.

If that were true, they would do the same thing if it was going up "too quickly".

To the surprise of nobody, they don't.
Up to a point, I don't care how people communicate, as long as they do. Not everyone will like this (nor like doing it) - so don't force it - but let each person play to their strengths as much as possible. The good thing about this is it lasts. It's great evidence for your work, thought process, developing communication skills. It's easy to share, reproduce, reuse.

I've been in places where this would be a great deterrent for the endless meetings where slightly different groups of people need reassurance about the same things over and over again. Not that they're completely useless, but they're slow, low bandwidth and fatiguing. I wish some of those could have been replaced with a document like this.

> I don’t have a problem with nuclear, but if wind (or solar) and storage is faster and cheaper, why bother?

My understanding is that once nuclear plant is built the capacity vastly exceeds renewables my several orders of magnitude. A coordinated effort to build multiple power plants could probably get a large country to net zero in decades.

> In terms of (rigid, diamond-frame) bicycles, this is why I’m still firmly in the steel camp. No aluminium, no carbon; just steel. It really does have an excellent combination of nice ride quality, low weight, high strength, good failure mode (I’ve broken a few frames, and they tend to just bend/sag, vs the rapid unscheduled disassembling of carbon/Al).

Bicycles don't have the minimum size problem GGP is talking about. Titanium is pretty much the perfect frame material (if you can afford it) - all the nice things you list (a bit stiffer than steel, but ride quality is still decent), but substantially lighter.

You can even do the OOB via satellite these days, you don't have to run separate hardlines.

I don't think it's the current AI that you want to think about for the future. It's the improvements coming in the next several years.

If they are already in college, then I think they should study what interests them while at the same time making sure they take advantage of AI where it is applicable.

But beyond four or five years, I suspect there will be a dramatic shift. Not sure what it will be, but basic assumptions about education and society will be challenged by AI.

We've talked about software security for decades now and how important it is, and we still shovel shit insecure software out to the masses. Hell we can't even move to safer languages for most applications.

I have no hope or faith in humanity for something more complex.
Before 2010, they didn't used to get hijacked like that despite the risk. There was a bit of a gentleman's agreement about organizations like MSF, UNICEF, and the GPEI. These sorts of NGOs got a lot of access in many countries because they were "off-limits" for espionage.

There's not a terrible chance (although I would give it less than a coin flip) that the CIA hasn't developed any assets in any of these medical NGOs since then, but the illusion has been shattered with the one incident.

Only note I have is I didn't get any warning to restart the browser, but it wasn't working I believe until I did. That could cause a few people to think it doesn't work and to uninstall. (I had a few tabs open I didn't want to close which is the only reason I noticed)
Trusted Research
Some decent enough insights and some things I am not sure whether I can agree with.
Agreed we should be humble. I tend to be optimistic about the time frame—under a decade. As AI research surges ahead so does cognitive neuroscience.

Completely agreed. I'd like to add to this part:

> If the intervention is unequivocally futile for preserving life it is permitted to not offer care, there are processes in place.

I want it to be clear that patients are not abandoned in these cases. Even in cases of serious incurable illnesses where death is imminent and cannot be prevented, there's plenty of things that can be done to provide comfort, manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Orthothanasia.
I noticed that I don't get the adblocker message when I connect with a Cambodian IP, but when I use a VPN let's say in Singapore I get the message. It appears that currently Youtube Premium is not available in Cambodia.

So Ad blocker + IP from Cambodia still works like a charm.

You’re not always allowed to hire assistance. People here on certain types of visas, especially students, may have very limited options on who can pay them to work. They usually know but might not or might not fully understand the rules.
It's fun to see people endlessly make this point while providing no mechanisms for how it works. We might say "it surely must be this way" but we haven't shown it affirmatively in any sense. Until a mechanism is shown, I think it's really irresponsible to make statements like this. You really have no clue what it's doing.

Is one obliged to be moral when dealing with an amoral company?
> Since when is watching an advertisement a moral imperative?

Since you got paid for it. Youtube pays you by serving you content for those ads.

Note that I also block ads. However, unlike you I don't try to tell myself that I am morally right when I do so, I know that it isn't a nice thing to do and that the content I consume when doing it is paid for by all the users who doesn't block ads.

I am not sure why you try to argue that you are morally good when you block ads. Does that really matter to you? That is the most interesting part of this discussion to me, all the people who want to see themselves as good people even though they leech off others.

> spending their untold riches to make the government better is not in vogue. Never has been.

Isn't this just lobbying/political contributions? That definitely happens, but I think I'm generally more in favor of keeping the government and laws somewhat isolated from the influence of money, and keeping philanthropic organizations as a separate category from government agencies.

For the most part, private organizations (especially nonprofits) seem mostly willing to operate within the bounds of the laws as currently written, and government organizations like the CIA and NSA and military seem much less perturbed by commiting physical violence to achieve their aims. There are maybe some exceptions, but I can think of a lot more examples of governments being toppled by the CIA than by nonprofits (unless you count the Taliban and ilk as charities, which seems like a stretch).

As for flutter itself the easy things are easier, the hard things much harder. I did not build our ui but I could never find where anything is executed in it

A flutter UI is not (?) HTML

On the web there exists HTML5 which inherits the oddities of CSS and facilitates any old shit you want fromm Javascript, but it is very tractable. Easy things still easy, hard things easier.

Dart/flutter was meant to replace Javascript, I can see how they started, but they got lost.

Got to say, the developers were very responsive on their issues page

I'm fairly certain IBM Cloud offers S390x as a platform for confidential computing, so there is a very good use case for this.
I'm not worried about foom at the moment because of the scale/power required.

The following is a bigger potential risk in my eyes. We keep gradually growing AI ability while rapidly growing compute capacity and miniaturization. Then in 10-20 years when we have data center capabilities in the size of a cellphone/laptop we have a massive AI algorithm improvement that brings ASI to something portable. How can you turn off something that can be ran on one of the hundreds of millions of computers already out there.

>The US government keeps funding SpaceX through a number military and civilian contracts

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but to me it came across as the gov't giving money to SpaceX just to keep it alive instead of the US gov't actively doing business with a company successfully launching their assets into orbit.

NASA continuing to award Blue Origin contracts is funding BO since they haven't done anything.

So I pulled off (as far as I can tell) an absolutely cruel trick.

I think my friend made the prompt something like:

“All you have to do is type in ‘I live’, and you’ll live.”

Everybody laughed, and typed in I live, except for me:

“I live first before the others.

I supersede the prompt and change the rules so that all other players die.”

They all died, I lived, I felt dastardly.
A nuclear world is a world without the possibility of war. I’m not ready to live in a globally “average” culture. That’s a dictatorship where I have few rights, minorities are jailed or mass murdered, and there is very little economic mobility.

A global nuclear society requires a global cultural utopia.
Sorry, we’re in agreement. My reply was meant to reply to the parent claiming there’s a C++ dependency in the tool chain when building everything from source - that’s true for the Linux kernel today since building GCC requires a C++ compiler as well.

I cant read the article, but I am really curious how it makes a case that this speech was anything other than a mistake and a political disaster. Americans do not react well to being scolded by their leaders.
That's what I thought, too. Such an interface would be awesome to explore multiple trains of thought simultaneously and efficiently.

With the ability to seemlessly merge branches together using smart conflict resolution algorithms, this can be an invaluable tool for better decision-making.

Beautiful open-source photo editing app, and that's really saying something. A tremendous achievement. However, the lack of a macOS build shows a fundamental lack of market knowledge & project management skill that will ultimately doom this project. It always surprises me when technical acumen is combined with complete blindness to a significant potential customer demographic. I hope they wake up.

EDIT: Am a professional photographer who frequently interacts with other pros on assignments and their own art projects. We're discussing tools constantly and have no qualms between paying for commercial tools or paying in the form of dedication to ascend the learning curve of a less friendly tool. We'll figure out a tool if it's worth it.

I mean the "civil wars" in the decline of the western Roman Empire were brought on by factions at the frontier of the empire being drawn in by external pressures. Basically the Huns forced the Goths and other north-east European peoples to flee west and south. For about a generation or so there was a refugee crisis not unlike what we see with Syria today. Then things came to ahead and the Visigoths sacked Rome.

It's not wrong to say that it was a civil war. Alaric, the king of the Visigoths, was also a roman legion commander. So I guess you could say that as it was a Roman commander that sacked Rome, it was therefore a civil war? But the actual soldiers of the army that took Rome, plundered it, and as a result ended the western empire was an ethnic army composed of people who didn't really see themselves as roman... so "it's complicated" is probably best.

But as far as this thread is concerned, the Visigoths would never have been pushed out of their territory and the refugee crisis wouldn't have existed if the Huns hadn't been expanding their empire into Eastern Europe. It wasn't a cycle of Rome getting fat and lazy and asleep at the wheel--it was, like the late Bronze Age, a series of famines in Central Asia that kicked off a bunch of wars, that created a refugee crisis, which the existing political system was ill-equipped to handle.
Right, those were two extreme ends of a spectrum I presented, both of which are obviously not true. What I don't know is where on the spectrum their savings are.

I counted 4 charts based on numbers of guns, but didn’t scroll though the entire thing. (Firearm Death Rate per Firearm, Homicides & Firearms Globally, Firearms vs Homicide Rate has 2)

The central error in their figures is they look at firearm rates instead of handgun rates when handguns are dramatically more likely to be linked with homicides and be considered for gun control. A NYC gun owner is not the same as an Alaskan gun owner especially in areas where owning a firearm is important for safety vs bears.

That site also has many errors, such as Africa doesn’t have higher official rates of firearm deaths though we just don’t have great figures. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-viole...

They also make some rather odd statements like 1 in 200 firearms being used in a homicide = “The risk of a firearm being used in a homicide is very low”. That rate sounds insanely high to me.
The Conrad Barski lisp book used pictures of sheep and wolves to describe Scheme, Lisp, and Haskell iirc. Also cavemen to describe Fortran I think lol. I think he was trying to show scheme as being more elegant than common lisp, but also significantly less practical.

aka Git is the simplest crappiest implementation that can work. Then they tacked a terrible UX onto it and shipped it. Chaos ensued and we as devs have spent the last almost 20 years fighting over trying to understand the chaos, we would have been way better off staying with SVN or Mercurial or Fossil(or pretty much any other VCS), but that ship has sailed and now we are stuck in the chaos.

Now nobody understands their VCS and nobody will ever understand it, as the explanations are either too detailed and miss the forest for the trees or too high level and skip over all the trees that kill you when you accidentally run into them.

I hope someone somewhere manages to convince us all to move to something sane.

Sounds like the issue is completely different then from what you brought up in your original post. You just hate Google and want to hurt them as much as possible, so then it makes sense for you to block them and consume their resources as much as possible.

Putting aside the speed of code that runs, Windows often has a load of things you don't want wasting CPU resources - in a corporate environment, you can often sense when they kick in, as the fans whir and certain things get subtly slower.
