It's unfair to compare the single event on January 6th with every BLM protest, or every state's implementation of lockdown and the resulting clashes, etc. I'm appalled by January 6th because the representative for my district accepted his win in the November elections, went to D.C., and then voted to throw out all votes for my state as being dubious. The riot, building-storming, and literal lynch mob were the natural outcomes of months of cynical choices by politicians to control the government in spite of democratic elections. It's not a thing to let slide.

Don't make me play the tiresome fallacy pointing game... I'm not making any definite predictions. It might or might not come. What I'm doing is expressing the doubt in anyone's ability to see through higher order effects, and especially in the goodwill of these people.

OpenAI's charter [1], for example, is so insanely naive and idealistic, and at the same time doesn't seem to be just an empty marketing piece (they expressed the same ideas for many years). Whoever wrote this thing is clearly either has absolutely no clue on how the society functions, or is trying to hide malicious intentions behind the bullshit. In either case, I have a really hard time believing that someone who wrote this can make useful predictions.

Why not? Each project has a unique blend of acceptable risks and non-functional requirements. I promise you, you'd hate C++ if you had to write each project, safety critical or not, according to the least common denominator feature set for safety critical domains.
The reason I don't use the world exponential, is that superlinear growth in a product is generally not exponential.

It is usually at best quadratic because there is some kind of network effect at play - the number of edges in a complete graph with `n` vertices is `n(n-1)/2`.

The point is that the value of your product to your users should increase with the number of users OR the marginal cost to you of maintaining the product should decrease with the number of users.

"Superlinear" captures that more effectively than "exponential".
I’m a big fan of MySQL, but this is something you can do with ProxySQL [0] already. While connection pooling isn’t quite as drastic of a need as with Postgres, the other benefits ProxySQL gives you (aforementioned R/W split, dynamic query rewrites and blocking, query cache, HA failover and LB…) makes it a no-brainer.

> The rest of stuff is the same level of pathetic. Eastern Germans complaining they didn't get access to white privilege, that they deserve by birthright, for almost forty years is sure tragic.

What does "white privilege" have to do with anything in post-WWII Europe?

Are you really going down that route? Germany (both western and eastern) had been levelled to ground during WWII, with many german civilians killed. Wanna talk about their "white privileges"? You wanna talk about the "white privilege" of my grandfather who spent five years in a prison in germany during WWII or the "white privilege" of all the countries in Europe who were living under the dictature of nazi germany?

Wanna talk about the "white privilege" of the tens of thousands of US soldiers who died to free Europe?

Maybe you wanna talk too about the "jewish privilege" during WWII too?

EDIT: oh... apparently you're russian or you live in Russia. So you're defending the USSR and you're not commenting on the invasion of Ukraine. Makes sense now.
I disagree. I think No Fly Lists absolutely need the highest scrutiny, but I don’t know that there’s a good argument for individual airlines to not be allowed to restrict who flies with them, especially given the last few years of nutcases fighting and opening emergency doors and whatever else.

At least in Western countries, being barred from one carrier is largely irrelevant to one’s ability to travel, that it’s hard to see a good argument for not allowing it.

Google, at least, is vastly more pervasive for most people.
Im not parent. I have not yet come to a conclusion on risk but it is hard to imagine what can really be done about AI proliferation that isn't draconian and problematic for society. IF AI was 100% going to be catastrophic and everyone was in agreement, maybe it could be done. However, if Covid was any indication society is just not capable of cooperation.

Do you believe AI is a species level threat? What would you suggest we (gov't/society/etc) do about it?

Not necessarily. It could also be code for "We can't write a check big enough to lead your round". E.g. a seed fund who writes $1m checks isn't going to lead a $5m round. The VC would be putting themselves out of a job if they wrote a $5m check when they told their LPs their fund target was $1m checks.
I think there is a deep misunderstanding here.

Safari can demand such a large price due to the value of their traffic. Size and demographic factors of mobile Safari users really dominates here.

Firefox would probably be worth less than 1/10th of the $400m stated here if Google wasn't constantly looking for ways to 'support' them. It is an open secret that Google actively makes decisions affecting Firefox based on how they believe regulators will view those decisions re: Chrome monopolistic behavior. I have heard direct first-hand accounts of meetings specifically about how to make sure Firefox remains somewhat relevant in the market to counter any regulators that may come knocking. The cash injection is one major factor to make sure they stick around as an 'alternative'
Then why ever gather the data? The truth table of this is:

You can reject my premise, but it is sound. If self driving cars only ever killed people that jumped in front of them deliberately, that's a resounding success, that means they never accidentally kill anyone. So if self driving cars swerve more efficiently to avoid hitting suicides but are worse at stopping at a crosswalk for children, thats an abysmal failure, they accidentally kill people more than humans do. Your take - that any amount of decrease in death is sufficient - is excessively reductionist because it doesn't actually measure how much safer the car is than a human driver. For it to be a reliable measure we have to accept the premise that the same proportion of pedestrian deaths will be due to deliberate action or negligence of the pedestrian, an unfounded premise, much more absurd than mine, and one that ignores the ruthlessness with which machines execute their instructions. Your hint attempting to emotionally sensationalize your argument does nothing to make it more convincing.

This helps confirm my theory that all reindeer have some type of light emission from their nose and Rudolph was the result of a mutation that moved the light emission to visible spectrum.

This would suggest all reindeeer emit UV light form their nose which they use to communicate with one another.
And the first version was pretty rough. It was only a couple of sentences long, and included a bizarre, irrelevant tangent ("a modern embellishment"). It's no surprise that every part of that has long since been replaced.

"What about, I don’t know, not stepping in front of buses? It certainly has a commandment (thou shalt not step in front of buses). It has notions of sin (stepping in front of buses) and virtue (not doing that). It has its rituals (looking both ways before you cross the street), its priests demanding obedience (crossing-guards), and its holy places (crosswalks). It promises blessings on the virtuous, but also terrible vengeance on the wicked (if you step in front of a bus, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth)."

For anyone looking for a Mac equivalent, there's GoToFile[0].

As far as I've seen, this is the only app for Mac that doesn't just reuse Spotlight search (which I find to be terrible). I looked for exactly this type of app for years before finding it, and when I did, it didn't seem real with the old-fashioned website and zero mentions on sites like HN. But I can assure that it works great and it's maintained. I just wish the author would promote it better so it gets more attention and isn't so hard to find.

You're looking at it backwards. White people get an automatic advantage because they're white. Any advantages given to minorities are an attempt to balance the game.
Nobody is choosing to kill anybody, we are talking about ideal scenarios, you should quit trying to moralize the discussion to impune those you disagree with. Address the points they're making rather than harping on the fact that they don't agree with yours.
Translating that abstract into English:

> The reindeer is the only mammal with a color-shifting retroreflector behind the retina and the only ruminant with a lichen-dominated diet. These puzzling traits coexist with eye fluid that transmit up to 60% of ultraviolet (UV) light, enough to excite the cones responsible for color vision. It is unclear why any day-active circum-Arctic mammal would benefit from UV visual sensitivity, but it could improve detection of UV-absorbing lichens against a background of UV-reflecting snows, especially during the extended twilight hours of winter. To explore this idea and advance our understanding of reindeer visual ecology, we recorded the reflectance spectra of several ground-growing, shrubby lichens in the diets of reindeer living in Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.

Ruminant (i.e.: animals that ruminate) is one word I didn't know in English yet but has no simpler synonym: the thing that cows do where they eat their food multiple times. Apparently reindeer are ruminants.

Lichen is another word that I didn't know other than from Minecraft. The actual definition is this (Merriam Webster): "any of numerous complex plantlike organisms made up of an alga or a cyanobacterium and a fungus growing in symbiotic association on a solid surface (such as on a rock or the bark of trees)".

Now, if someone could shed (UV?) light on why the paper's title is chosen the way it is (how is this useful to anyone? When you get this as search result, how're you gonna tell whether this is relevant to what you're looking for? Why not use the title that the HN submission¹ used?), I'd be rather interested

¹ "Reindeer can see UV light" at the time of writing
> I'd rather be taken seriously for my merits

Me too. The reality is that people don't always take my merits seriously.

I'm male though. Females have it much worse. I have heard lots of horror stories (both behind their back in "locker room talk" and directly from them) where their actual merits are effectively ignored and all focus is on their body. It's insane.

My original comment is above, as many replies indicate, I did not include the context, which is:

That sounds like a bit > zero maintenance, relative to other types that you can either just soak with water or stick in the dishwasher.
This is good as a survey, but can be easily simplified.
1) Get a duxtop induction portable burner. Around $100-$120.
2) Get a flat bottomed carbon steel wok ($40-$50)
3) Get a carbon steel 8" and 10" frying pan $20 & $30.
4) Get some good sauce pans (Like about $34 Cuisinart), and stock pot

No cast iron - it just takes too long to heat and to cool.

That is really all. Nothing fancy. Turn on the duxtop, it gets hot. To the same temp each time. Turn it off. There is no heat. If you use carbon steel the cooking stops almost immediately.

The need for expensive, fancy pans goes away because the heat is so consistent, reliable and fast. I have tried many ways to stir fry with both gas and electric and they just can't do it. Stir frying with an induction burner and carbon steel wok is a breeze and fun and just works.

As for non-stick. Want to cook eggs that don't stick? Heat the carbon steel until it just starts to smoke. Then add oil and let it smoke a little for 10 or 15 seconds. Done. Add the eggs, no stick.

If you have to cook for twenty people a single duxtop will not work, but then, just get a second one. In my experience that is all there is to it.
Anecdata: I tell a relative that climate is going to get hotter and more variable and that said relative should be concerned that an unaffordable electricity bill may be in the cards (Houston anyone?). Relative's response: the governing authorities won't let that happen. Me: <internally sighing and filled with despair>
Wait, I didn't know Everything can full search text ? is it like search preview in macOS ?
Amen to that and thank you for the response.

I do not really mean to criticize anybody myself. My venting is more about GNU advocates criticizing others, campaigning against collaboration, or trying to lay claim to vast swaths of software they did not write. Although I am very pro-Open Source, it also bothers me when too much abuse is heaped on commercial vendors that do contribute lots of code ( even code I don’t love ). At least, I prefer the complaining stayed technical.

Thank you again for your contributions. I hope I continue to enjoy your choices. Good luck either way.
>French people always get criticized for not understanding foreigners' broken French. It is not out of malice. It is because it actually is very hard to understand broken French.

Is it that difficult? I can understand broken French just fine as a non native speaker. For French people it looks as if it's impossible, but I don't buy it.

>People weren't correcting you to mock you. They wanted to understand and probably help you.

Judging from how indifferent and unhelpful retail workers, waiters, and such were, even when you speak perfect French or even when speaking in English in case they understand it, I doubt that's the case.

This is mistaken; Google has been paying to be the default in Firefox since long before Chrome popularized the idea of merging the URL bar and search bar (which, thankfully, you can still turn off in Firefox; I'd prefer not to render my URL bar useless for searching my history).
Yeah that's one way. Often I add a space and another word.

Yes, it's very broad and yes, you have many 1:1 conversations.

Not being racist to anybody would be a way to reduce racism against non-whites.
Something less annoying to opt into web features would really be an improvement. Perhaps some "upgrade icon" next to that https lock icon? This already is the place were we take away the permission when we accidentally allowed some we did not want, and the "upgrade" would be somewhat parseable as all three of "upgrade to local(ish) installation", "upgrade to more site features" (push) and "allow more data upload" (location). All implicitly connected to the hostname.
It is possible it is racism but it is likely to be measurement error, sampling error, and/or specification error, assuming you have not ruled those out.

I would want to understand the differences in who it would kill. If not pulling the lever, 70 of those are suicides, and if pulling it only 10 are, you're actually killing more people by pulling the lever, and potentially subjecting unwilling participants to continued suffering.

But my main point is that it is a machine pulling the lever or not. Once you deploy such a machine we are all subject to it's cold calculation. We should go the extra mile to make sure the world we live in winds up being better and not just assume less deaths = better outcome.
People have always been luddites in the sense that they want technology used for their benefit, not against them.
