I think that “people shaped wall” is largely defined by that subsidization problem already mentioned elsewhere. If people were paid a non-subsidized wage I think that “silicon-based” automation would begin to take even more of a substantial amount of manual labor. But that “silicon-based” piece is a constraint that wasn’t part of my original point, so it seems you’re levying that for your own, different argument.

I’m only using the words you mentioned. You brought up service jobs, although you may have been using the term somewhat sloppily. Your explanation seems to bolster the point though. People will “put up with” a soulless job if it’s a means to an end. People don’t simply “put up” with a job that is inherently fulfilling. Circling back to the original point, AI forcing people into drudgery is probably not to the benefit of society, especially if there isn’t high pay.
I love the cover. Nice mix.

Pointers are a bit more abstract than that. Since each program has a virtual address space, and said address space is made up of memory pages, even raw pointers need to be translated to the physical address via TLBs. In that sense, indices into arrays are more like pointers than the other way around.
If they’re being found as sponsored search results through a Google search, then the comparison is apt - both Google and Twitter are being paid directly to promote these things.

If it’s being found through organic search results, that then takes us down the road of wanting Google to censor things, and what is the arbiter of that stuff, which is a much more complex topic, and not comparable to Twitter getting paid to promote it.

I don’t know which it is, and I don’t want that in my search history, so I’m not going to do that particular bit of research for myself

“I just want to be clear that we’ve definitely not actually found life. We’ve found likely precursors everywhere, habitable bodies everywhere, have plausible theories on how to go from precursors to bootstrapping, and see life in every corner of the planet we have explored. But just to be clear we haven’t actually found life anywhere else yet.”

Yeah, we know. So what then was the point of your post?

I wrote test firmware for a very early spread spectrum transceiver that used something close to Viterbi encoding. It consumed 220mA in receive mode and 60-120mA in transmit mode. I was told some of that was the RF amps and ADC but a lot of it was the decoder.
This is something I really strongly agree with. There is no justifiable reason why we should be buying vehicles that are so much bigger than in previous years. Pedestrian fatalities are up big time in the U.S., and it’s largely thought that the reason is bigger cars with more lethal designs. Bigger cars also require more parking space and a larger amount of fuel/electricity. Smaller vehicles are a win all around. In the rare occasion where people need a large vehicle, we should aim to find ways to encourage them to rent one temporarily, rather than haul a huge vehicle around for the 99% of trips that don’t require one.
In the US, this would work out to taxing the shipping industry. This would in turn raise the price of goods. In short, it is unlikely to ever happen
I agree. Having Threads federated will make it much easier for individuals to pick Mastodon as they won't miss out on the network effects of a larger network. They can still follow their friends and be followed. I find it very unlikely that the number of people who sign up for Threads rather than Mastodon is is higher than the number of people that will be "able to" use other services because they can follow and be followed by the large community on Threads. It seems that if Threads is federated than every Threads user is a win for the Fediverse and every non-threads user is a big win for the Fediverse. The only "lose" case is someone joining threads that would have otherwise joined something else.
I think there's a big difference between serving an ad for it and searching for it. Isn't that what's at issue?

AI inpainting has been around for a while and it's not going away. This has been trivially possible with opens source software on decade old consumer hardware for about a year now, much older hardware if you're patient. I just don't see what sort of governance can be realistically put in place to police the creation of such media, and we already have laws against disseminating it.
Well yeah, you have also to quantify the number AI-enabled jobs created, and what happened to the displaced workers.

The least capable workers are going to be displaced first and we need to find a way for them to make ends meet. I do not expect the newly-created AI-driven jobs are going to be compatible with their skills. As one industry after another is disrupted, it may prove too difficult for unskilled workers to have to constantly learn new skills, as they jump from one sinking ship to another. This is the present course we are on. There is also the possibility that superintelligence will render wide swathes of the workforce instantly obsolete. If that happens governments will simply have to take drastic action, so things won't be left to the market. But finding a job will only be one of our worries in that case.

With measured change in C02 the past 60 years[0], how can we expect the system to behave the same? In my lifetime I will breathe air with C02 levels of 480ppm. Throw in the high sea temperatures [1][2] if you would like some bonus content.

Idk what it means for us on the ground. 90% of the doomerisms haven't gone anywhere - but this is worth keeping an eye on. Who knows, maybe in 3 more generations we'll hit 800ppm C02 and experience cognitive decline[3] before we have to worry about the climate system getting funky :)

Not necessarily. There are a lot of stupid ‘compact’ SUVs out there which are big on the outside and small on the inside, and inefficient for no reason. Things like the Nissan Juke. Those things should be taxed to oblivion, so people stop buying them.
I am too - I think it’s the moon plus Jupiter that is extremely unique and makes complex life possible

I also think it’s a lot of pressure if it’s only us, so it’s easier to imagine we’re one of billions.

Honestly, honestly think it’s just us. Maybe not in the entire universe but in our local cluster.
Have you actually looked at the median occupancy of an SUV? I’ll bet it’s the same as every other passenger car: one.

There’s a difference of what they can do and what they actually do most of the time in practice.

It’s not that it’s active shunning, things just evolved here into two systems (RCS and iMessage) and a lowest common denominator (SMS) they both fall back to automatically.

So there is VERY little friction. You can message anyone easily without downloading anything, though the experience varies.

So the idea of downloading an additional app for certain people is kind of odd.

If you live somewhere everyone uses WeChat, you download that once when you setup your phone and you’re done. If everyone uses a mix then you’re used to swapping between apps.

Im not the OP but I’d chime in: first and foremost it’s on the resume.

Of course im not bashing event sourcing altogether but right now resume boosting seems to be the driving force to apply it everywhere.

And this comes from my experience at my current workplace. Event sourcing has brought so much unnecesary complexity to a an older system and it’s not even implemented properly. The engineers who took the initiative padded their resumes then went on to greener pastures while leaving a giant mess behind.

>Even risks that appear to have negligible or even zero fitness value, like extreme sports, have netted many people valuable sponsorships or YouTube fame and fortune.

You do realize you contradict yourself here, right?

You’ve essentially said “This activity that amasses stays and resources has negligible fitness value.”

That only makes sense if you think status and resources don’t impact fitness/survivability. You might be confusing inherent value with signaling value. Driving a Ferrari doesn’t give me any additional inherent fitness. But it does serve as a potential signal for status, which can confer added fitness in practice. Signals can be wrong, of course, while still giving an advantage.

>>> Since ... 2016, the population of Shenzhen has grown by over 2 million people, the metro system has added over one hundred kilometers of track, and dozens of new stations have been opened. The city’s taxi and bus fleets were converted from gas to electric. The entirety of Huaqiangbei Road - the center of the electronic market district - has been torn up and replaced with a pedestrian boulevard.

Holy crap. As a Brit we have recently spent 100 billion and twice that time to fail to build a railway between two cities, London still runs almost all petrol bus and taxis and ...

As we have (hopefully) an election coming soon and might see some change I would be interested in why the UK - who about 150 years ago woukd have growth stats very similar to that - has got well, meh.

The usual suspects for such terrible performance are

- much lower starting point. It's easier to setup mobile phone masts than replace the POTS.

- too much regulation (from safety to public consultations that allow NIMBYism to slow things down)

- we are not growing - if the number of people buying mobile phones in year X is twice the number of people who already have a phone, then you can see a different market than if everyone keeps their phone for one extra year. Does something else play out for cities, streets and factories?

- just money coming in. The UK is having serious lack of growth and presumably shenzen is not.

I agree it’s an open question, but I think it’s highly likely with lots of circumstantial evidence that life is an evolutionary emergent phenomenon where inorganic material reactions create life. We already know that’s the case in highly controlled environments. We don’t yet have confidence about the exact mechanism on Earth but based on those experiments it’s likely (& generally currently accepted as the most likely mechanism AFAIK) that the boundary layer of volcanoes (probably underwater) + some crucial initial elements being available causes life to form “spontaneously”. Given the elements required and their overall availability in the universe, it’s also highly likely these conditions reproduce quite readily & life is generally quite abundant. Similarly, significant levels of intelligence within animals seems like quite a common occurrence as well (great and lesser apes, elephants, octopuses, dolphins, wolves etc). Whether or not intelligence + physiological evolution + social evolution to take advantage of that intelligence to build things cooperatively is a huge unknown of course although I think it’s inevitable. On the other hand, how long life sticks around on a planet once it forms is an open question - it’s not clear if a life ecosystem that’s stable for billions of years is likely and I suspect there’s probably a small amount of filtering that happens where planets become inhospitable rather “quickly” and can’t support life for multiple billions of years (e.g. there were probably several events in our history where it could have collapsed).

Our type of society is probably much much rarer because you need access to mineral and energy deposits to go through each technological phase. For example, because of all the mining we’ve done, if humanity were to disappear it’s highly likely the Earth would not sustain another technological society because all the “easy to get to” deposits of crucial metals & things like oil are gone and there’s no way to bootstrap a technological society (it’s possible other kinds of resources could be developed to build other kinds of technology so who knows).

I think based on our existing body of knowledge, life is likely extremely plentiful throughout the universe at one point in time or another. Some form of intelligent life is highly likely wherever we find any life that manages to stick around through bilions of years. A highly technological adept species of life though is highly likely an extreme rarity and a planet gets one shot at developing it. Whether any manages to escape their home planet remains an open question that likely only we will manage to answer over the next thousands of years if we make it that far.
