I can only imagine what it's like living somewhere actually cold. I've got pretty bad asthma (severe enough that I'm on a maintenance med on top of the rescue inhaler) and allergies. Cold is a big trigger for my asthma, and yea, after doing the conversion 10C is about when I'd start to really notice, but I probably start seeing some effects around 15C or so. Luckily I live in a temperate area, the coldest it ever gets is about -5 or so. My other big asthma triggers are exercise and my allergens - which are all the basic boring stuff - pollen, ragweed, mold, dust, etc. So basically walking outside is like getting punched in the lungs. I started wearing N95 masks basically when I was able to get my hands on them (so, early 2021) and eventually settled on the 3M Aura actually mentioned in another post. They really do warm the air quite a bit, enough to mostly not trigger my asthma, and help a lot with the allergies too. I've also only gotten sick once in 4 years, and that was last year when I took my mom out for a mother's day meal at a packed restaurant. I really try to avoid restaurants during peak hours. Ironically strep and not COVID. So, basically, starting wearing them for one health reason, have kept wearing them for that and for several side benefits that were happy discoveries.

I have to be really careful as I have a number of other chronic conditions, including diabetes, and between them, and the meds I take for 'em, I'm usually rather fatigued and run down at the best of times. It's quasi-stable, but I've been hospitalized several times foe respiratory issues, and I'm only in my 30s, and to be frank, none of what I have exactly gets better with age.
I wrote HNResumeToJobs.com using PGVector + the OpenAI Ada embedding model which outputs a vector of size 1536. The new large model now outputs a vector of double the size 3072. I believe PGVector only supports up to 2,000 dimensions for indexing, so that will be a problem.

However, I see that they also support shortening embeddings. OpenAI says that the text-embedding-3-large w/ shortening to 1536 still outperforms the text-embedding-ada-002 model. So maybe I'll go that route first, and then hope that PGVector begins supporting vectors of size >3072.
Completely sidesteps which question?

It definitely does not answer the "hard" problem of consciousness, which is what you're alluding to and which I specifically and explicitly said it didn't answer.

Tokyo is the usual example. (Of course, it has a planned road network too.)

A thermostat is certainly intelligent.

The definition of intelligent I give is “to mitigate uncertainty.” If it does not mitigate uncertainty, it is not intelligent.

It is merely of constrained intelligence. Perhaps your expectations are too broad.

If the thermostat reacts appropriately to environmental changes then it is performing its role intelligently.

Very well put. I honestly didn't know how Apple was going to announce or implement these changes, but they are definitely not happy!
Indeed, and this article was a bit frustrating... they are skipping / seem to be oblivious to the context where the "zeroth contact with AI" likely already happened with the creation of the limited liability company, we are seeing particularly metastasized forms of which these days.

Especially since the outlines of this have been predicted more than half a century ago already, by philosophers analyzing the then still young consumer (advertising) based capitalism. With its lack of limits and growth at all costs imperative. We've even had art made about it, after the intensification of the phenomenon in the neoliberal 80s, for instance the whole cyberpunk genre.

(And while these issues that the article talks about are still somewhat speculative (at least in intensity) unless you live somewhere like Burma, we've already seen much more dire consequences of this starting to show up in resource depletion and climate change.)

(Yet they should know all that, they insist on incentives after all, right ?!)
I haven't even read it yet, but Hatherley is, in my opinion, the best architecture critic out there. Will report back with any interesting observations.
I often ask myself the same. I think one of the main reasons could be the fact that, differently from most of the devices you mentioned, a printer is not standalone device that needs firmware to work properly on a plethora of generations of OSs. Add the fact that afaik there's no universal cartridge standard, so to bring value to the table they should distribute their own cartridges globally...
Ah yes apple the shining bastion of what's best for the consumer. /s

It was something that happened to me as a child, not something I chose.

When I was an adult, I tried traveling on the cheap, as young folks do. Backpack and train passes. Hostels and couch surfing. My friends kept insisting I would fall in love with it eventually, but I never did. I'm quick to make shallow connections, but slow to make deep ones, and "shallow" and "empty" land pretty similarly for me.

I don't remember having major expenses. I had started working when I was 14 (mostly officiating sports for younger kids, which paid 4x the minimum wage in my area) and I never had expensive hobbies, so I had a little money, but it wasn't expensive to travel.

I wonder if this is a consequence of the judicial system in the US.

Not OP, but Apple tends to be a lot more straightforward in how they make their money. Their products cost more for the same technology, but in return they try their best to provide me with a good experience (to keep me buying their overpriced products). I don't blame those who go with option of Android, but I personally prefer to just pay a set, known amount of money up front.
It's not, at least not if developers opt into the new terms, which is a trapdoor decision. It's also unclear how long the old terms will remain available, and whether new companies can still sign up for them.
> It's still the riskiest pharmaceutical product the average young person will take.

That'll almost certainly be Tylenol.

That's not why the program exists. It was deemed risky for the national security of the United States to lose its ability to manufacture vaccines because twelve lay people in a jury room decide to bankrupt a drug company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vaccine_Injury_Compen...

"The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP or NVICP) was established by the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA), passed by the United States Congress in response to a threat to the vaccine supply due to a 1980s scare over the DPT vaccine. Despite the belief of most public health officials that claims of side effects were unfounded, large jury awards had been given to some plaintiffs, most DPT vaccine makers had ceased production, and officials feared the loss of herd immunity."

It doesn't really cause problems. Academic economists claim deflation is destructive, but it's a misanalysis caused by extrapolating from a tiny number of samples and ignoring all the counter evidence.

If you have a fixed monetary base and the economy grows, all that happens is that things get cheaper, which is what you'd intuitively expect if a society gets wealthier. Economists claim that this will trigger hoarding cycles but this is a strange almost pseudo-psychological claim. It doesn't happen in reality, where there are many examples of prices falling continuously over time in a sector without it causing recession within that sector.

Hello! OP here

Zack and I designed and drew a bunch of pets for our RPG game, and we built this retro-terminal app to crowdsource which pets are the most iconic.

We have included 16 pets here, but are adding more every day as we finalize our pets in Aesprite (which is super time consuming haha) from our doodles and ideas. We are ideally going to be adding two pets each day.

PS make sure you turn on sound in the UX because we are really proud of that feature and I think it's really satisfying haha.

In a political direct action context a really effective way to take over an organization from the inside is called “salting.”

I understand your sentiment, but one's experience does not need to manifest like the ones you listed to be considered hard.

You listed one career choice and agriculture is actually the easiest industry. #2 lowest failure rate in 1 year, #1 lowest after 5 and after 10 years [1]. What you thought was fucking hard is objectively not compared to every other industry from BLS data. Although I'd still say it's a startup and is thus fucking hard personally.

Starting a company is very easy. Building a successful and sustainable one is fucking hard.

I've built a few successful companies but did it while having income (both active and passive). I recommend the same for anyone's first endeavor. I also recommend having a partner or two and maybe ONLY go solo after you've built a successful business. It's not glamorous being a startup CEO and can be very lonely without partners.

50% of businesses fail by year 5

And 80% of small businesses have no employees. Most of the 50% that survive to year 5 are just paying bills and aren't self-sustaining businesses that have enterprise value and can be sold.

If you want to be a one person show, yeah that's not hard in a service business. If you are average, 50% shot to make it 5 years.

If we're talking about building something that kicks off actual profit and has employees, and outperforms the opportunity cost of working for someone else or taking an equity stake in existing business, it is most certainly fucking hard.

To the parent - if you have savings and get a partner or two - I say keep applying but go for the startup too. The best businesses in my opinion are ones that make money closer to day 1 than year X. Figure that path out. Riches in niches. Don't worry about the macro environment.

Agreed. I’d rather see “doesn’t actively recommend” or “is neutral” or something.
Well, a story can also affect my internal world, if that’s your criteria of reality, yet I doubt you consider that as real as the physical world. Basically, according to your argument, there is already no distinction between physical and mental, which is the very reason I simply say it’s all mental. The reason I don’t call it all physical is because physical usually means “out there” and not “in here”. No, everything, absolutely everything, is “in here”. There is no “out there”. I perceive reality in this way. If you touch some outside directly that is amazing magic and a contradiction to any Logic I know.

It seems kind of like you can’t really accept that this is how I understand reality. I have a tip for you: others’ views will be much clearer to you if you don’t assume they’re lying about believing them. Maybe they really do see differently to you

Two wrongs don't make a right. The thing protecting people from abusive behaviour should be the government, not a "benevolent" monopoly.
Thermostat with a servomechanism is self-aware of its state. A thermostat could be quite simply augmented to have a theory of another thermostat. Probably there are such coupled termostats.

I use intelligence mostly just as perspective of analysis to a system. E.g. Can it be seen to process information? How complicated is the transform from the information to some action? Does the processing lead to some good outcome, e.g. self-preservation of the system? Could the information processing be improved for this outcome?
You're not wrong, but unfortunately I'm hard pressed to treat Apple any differently now. Apple also uses their position on the web, desktop and mobile to set unfathomably destructive standards for modern computing. AdSense and the App Store are two sides of the same con; circular marketplaces where the players scramble and the house always wins. They both feed back into terrible UX decisions and encourage the darkest, most manipulative side of either company.

It'll be different regulation that comes for Google, but you can take solemn certainty in knowing they're up next. My biggest concern is that Microsoft won't receive enough scrutiny, but on the other hand I can barely trust them not to capsize Windows over the next decade.

Regardless, 10 years from now I hope we'll have a more competitive and vibrant future for local compute and the web. It's a shame (but not unexpected) that regulation has to draw the line.
Notarization is also optional, annoying as a user, sure, but still optional

The basics:

Good picture quality & resolution (e.g. LG panel), no (or replaceable) smart features, no forced ads / tracking, fast startup, wide variety of inputs would be bonus though the usual options are fine.

I'm less imaginative around would-be-cool features. If there was an integrated, hackable linux computer you could do many more things like photo frame, weather, (privacy respecting) smart home controls, media server, etc.
I think this is a category error. A vocational school ideally provides training in skills that can lead to direct employment in that area. A college ideally provides greater understanding of the world, though general study in many areas, combined with in-depth study in one area.
>the EU government, as well as our own, wants to eliminate encryption, VPNs or add back doors into systems to some degree.

This is a continuous concern - some sectors of the EU indeed want to do that. So far, they've been mostly unsuccessful in getting their agenda through, either because other politicians have more influence, or due to listening to public protest/complaints. Still, that's no different than other healthy democracies - the people must vote, both in national elections (EU heads of state propose the European Commission's president to the Parliament), and European elections (who elect said Parliament) in order to keep reasonable people at the helm as much as possible.
