> Anyway, cells can hold (super) primitive models of the world and maintain internal balance in the face of anticipated events.

I'm not even a cocktail biologist, but my understanding is cells effectively operate via a web of complex chemical reactions, so the notion of a cell holding primitive models might be analogous to the way a CPU executes an assembly instruction: not because it "thinks" but because the way it's wired it's (nearly - barring solar radiation, I suppose, which incidentally also goes for cells) inevitable that it will react to a stimulus in a predefined way (even though the way cells react to stimuli is far more advanced than a CPU).

In a similar way, "anticipating events" could involve an analogue to computer memory: the processes that have run so far have lead to certain state being saved to memory that will now influence how the system reacts to stimuli in a way that's different from how it reacted before (e.g. sum a value with the value stored in a register).
Ah ok. Last time I used straight it still blocked input on straight-update-all, didn’t realize they changed this.
Being a hybrid planned/market economy, CCP still has much of a say in what businesses prosper & which do not. China has very little in the way of a consumer sector, quite the opposite of the US consumerism. This means there's very little for consumers to spend their money on versus a US consumer.

China's savings rate as a result of these pressures hovers around 50%, compared to the low 4% in US / 10% in UK / 20% in Germany & Northern EU countries.

Saving such a high % of income means more money is available in the banking system to be lent out to businesses for investment. So China has an export driven market in which they sell goods to the world, and then re-invest it to build more capacity to build more exports to..
Seems to suggest that the system doesn’t know what checks should be done independently of the work that is recorded. Is there no QA plan at that level of detail?

yes! Especially since The Office and Brooklyn Nine-Nine both made the cut, and are very related shows.

(The Office finale is one of my favorite finales ever. While both are great, I'd probably say P&R beats Brooklyn Nine-Nine, though neither is on the level of The Office.)

I've watched the whole thing with great attention.

There's some thoughts about "modernism" drawn from other books that the author cites that are worth exploring if you have an interest in history/anthropology. Somewhere in the middle the author's own theory starts protruding through.

I'll save everyone the 66 minutes: at the end of the video the author claims the CIA conclusively proved you can travel to the spirit world. This is really all you need to know.

I would rate this as a crock of shit, go read the books if you're interested in the topic, but skip the video.
Amazon built AWS to serve the book store and then rented it out to others. The Tesla analogy would be for them to sell their car parts/IP to other companies or build other peoples products in their factories.

My favourite is people dubbing Jordan Peterson over command and Conquer [0]. It is quite funny.

There isn't much mystery to Peterson, he didn't became famous for his academic credentials and nobody cares much for psychology anyway. And I think the message is pretty simple, or it was the last time I checked, in broad strokes it is just a call for people to keep doing what they're doing.

But the important part here is there is enormous demand for public intellectuals who (1) have something nice to say about white men and (2) have something nice to say about capitalism. The economists say nice things about capitalism, I suppose, but they tend to be boring. Which brings me to my other point... Peterson's style.

Peterson has a similar style to Trump's for similar reasons. Average people don't seem to follow or be persuaded by logical arguments. If the plan is to communicate with them, the effective approach is a weird kind of strobe-ing emotions at them. It is easy to laugh at, but it is also effective so it keeps cropping up.

You should understand, that of those 488 currently in DR, only a small fraction will ever be actually executed. It's practically the same as life term. I hope you are not against that either? The "endless insecurity" is actually deliberate, because people (majority) will actually oppose the abolition of capital punishment.

Tangentially, how should a country (read US) deal with terrorists (in the strictest possible sense of the word) who planned and carried out significantly impactful attacks against their citizens?

Its probably not being downvoted for that reason. Rather because you're just being plain wrong here.
Why would they do that? Each of those industries is potentially worth many billions. As a car company they are doing just fine. The issue with Tesla is not creating more demand, which is fine, but more production capacity to meet it.

How can you hate a technology with a passion? Sure, EVs provide some issues today but genuinely curious how someone with any hint of intellectual curiosity can ‘hate’ a technology.

Perhaps the hate the culture or the messaging around the technology right now, but ‘hating EVs with a passion’ seems weird.

> Sarphatikade

Yeah that demo was somewhat legendary back then. But how you figured he did the demo? Because although I met Sloot, he never demo'd it to me and I never saw a live demo (not on video either; why are there no videos; Pieper took the machine somewhere once); his friend said he did demo it to him and he also told him, over time, how it worked, more or less. I remember him saying all the time that Sloot (and now this guy) talked about infinite compression like it was the most trivial thing in the world so I don't suppose they actually thought that was any secret.

What I find very strange about the Pieper part (who I also met through a company (client) he advised with that investor vehicle he had of which I don't think any companies made it) is not that he fell for it; unlike what others say, he didn't appear very clever to me, at least not in anything tech, maybe business, although... He seemed like a blaaskaak when I met him; arrogant as hell and not much substance, but maybe that was his spiel for the ceo of the company he invested in. Anyway; what I find strange is not he fell for it but that his Philips tech colleagues, who saw the 'invention' multiple times, didn't have the same feel as you and Krop? And then warned him and said 'you must be insane to believe this boss' , or something. Not like Dutch people would hold back even if he was the boss.
Where AI sports judging needs to happen fast is refereeing at the NBA and NFL level. Referees ruin games. Fans are turned off and always skeptical. If an AI can ref a game better, it'd be instant success for the leagues - not to mention getting rid of the unions who protect poorly performing referees.

MLB is weird because everything needed to ref a baseball game does not need any advanced AI. MLB simply refuses to let robots ref games.

I wish JS libraries would stop using default exports. They are not ergonomic as soon as you want to export one more thing in your package, which includes types, so all but the most trivial package requires multiple exports.

Just use a sensibly named export, you were going to write a "how to use" code snippet for the top of your readme anyway.

Also means that all of the code snippets your users send you will be immediately sensible, even without them having to include their import statements (assuming they don't use "as" renaming, which only makes sense when there's conflicts anyway)
"Yes and no. Putin could rationally expect no direct western intervention or even the level of support we have given. We did nothing when the Russians invaded Ukraine in 2014, and we did nothing when they invaded Georgia."

This still sounds like a huge gamble with very high stakes. Ukraine received a lot of Western weapons between 2014-2022, and it was those weapons like Javelin that helped stop the original Russian armored onslaught.

International politics does not reliably work on the principle "actor X hasn't done Y before, so actor X won't do Y now". There may be thresholds that, once reached, change the entire situation.

To look at a historical example, the Allies did nothing when Hitler re-occupied the Ruhr, they did nothing when he annexed Austria, they allowed him to take Sudetenland and later they did nothing when he annexed the rest of Bohemia and Moravia. But with Poland, the threshold was crossed once and for all.

For an intro. I think the old stories have too many anachronisms for modern readers. There are too many meanings in the phrasing that the readers of the time would already know.

> "Kindness, intelligence, and humor" are not only not required, but often seen as weakness. There's some merit to thinking that way because when things get tough those traits aren't going to help you very much.

Actually, those traits will get you much further than brute force and ignorance. Humans are social. Treating your social group well will generally get you a lot further than not. (Other social groups is a debateable issue. But if you want to survive winter then you'll want everyone pulling together and supporting each other.)

People used to jut throw tables everywhere for no reason, like a superstition or something. I remember one day a colleague was stuck because the page he was working on would take over a minute to render in Netscape but about two seconds to render in Internet Explorer. I took a look at the page and somehow he had tables nested twelve levels deep doing absolutely nothing. I deleted all but two of the tables, the layout looked the same but now both browsers rendered the page in under a second.

This is why X.ai exists.

Also; self-driving cars are just robots on wheels.... that utilize extreme edge "tech" - in the form of advanced machine learning, computer vision, artificial.... problem solving, and generally the associated compute solutions required to engineer a robot that can store enough energy on itself for useful human travel, let alone making the whole damn thing safe, let ALONE making the whole damn thing marketable

Now. What other CAR company does any of that, to any degree?

The "anti-Musk" virtue signal is by far the most annoying one on either side of a stupid arbitrary peanut gallery.

Anyone thinking Elon Musk is anything short of an incredibly intelligent, talented, skilled, and tenacious entrepreneur and - dare I say - engineer - we have the fortune to see in our era. He is controversial but ignore the noise. The actual ground truth is extremely, extremely impressive.

Think all that has happened since just the iPhone with all of his companies, and why, and how. Perhaps that would inform a better opinion than whatever the news cyclists have suggested your way this week.
I learnt to control my phobia over time, luckily I live somewhere where there's nothing dangerous or large, so I can leave them be.

But I don't think I could handle any of the bigger ones in the wild still, like tarantulas, or the absolutely massive Orb spider I saw in Africa once, ugh..

There is zero evidence for existence of physical matter/materialism.

The only thing we know for sure that exists is consciousness.

What type of AI? AGI? Textual based AI? Computer vision AI? What kind of bubble - the kind that has happened before in the history of AI…a slow evolution of progress just like now with fits and bumps but always progressing over time. It will never fit a business or persons agenda but it will always get better.
You're absolutely right and it was a hard learned lesson for me with Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, and F#. I tried all four based on the hype and it kept hurting that I didn't know Java or C#. People would tell me that it wasn't relevant, but then I'd need to do something pretty basic like File I/O and in some cases there wasn't a whole lot out there as it assumed you knew the underlying platform and could just call the method from there. I read books on all of them and tried numerous times to build an app. I finally figured out I'd need to start with Java or C# first and then make the pivot, but frankly...those languages aren't for me and have too much boiler plate. F# too had a problem where there were several well praised books out there, but nearly all of them centered around making the shift from C# to F# or code architecture and practically nothing like the 100 intro to Python books, which is what I really needed. OCaml also has a platform issue, but it's that it mainly only runs on Unix and it also doesn't have what seemed like a great out of the box experience (e.g. https://ocaml.org/docs/file-manipulation).

" only a small fraction will ever be actually executed"

How can you know? It is entirely possible that a change in policy will result in all of them hanging within a month. Once you are condemned to death, the only thing between you and the gallows is policy that can be unilaterally changed by whoever decides to carry out the executions or not. The court has spoken, you won't be sentenced again. You are a dead person walking and someone in the executive branch can always decide to let you actually hang. An election of a politician who wants to look tough on crime may result in precisely that.

Tangentially, more than half of the world abolished the death penalty even though terrorism does not spare them. Spain lets Basque butchers live behind bars, so does France with its jihadists.

This post is in relation to the Tesla warning that its rate of expansion will be “notably lower” this year and the recent price cuts they've made to keep sales going.

In relation to that, "building better cars" means building cars that sell more - either having the characteristics/features that people want and are willing to pay for or making them cheaper.
Indeed - more specifically https://bydeurope.com/byd-europe

After over 20 years of development, BYD has grown from a brand that has never been known in Europe to a compelling new energy vehicle industry leader. Thanks to the efforts of the European branch, BYD's pure electric buses have already been sold in more than 20 countries and in over 100 major European cities including Amsterdam (the Netherlands), London (the UK), Ankara (Turkey), Madrid (Spain), and Turin (Italy).

Besides that, BYD has one electric bus factory in Europe which is located in Komarom, Hungary.

Ask HN: Inverse of Imposter Syndrome?
You've heard about imposter syndrome, but what do you call it when one does work that they believe is very high quality and perhaps even important, but it isn't accepted by the mainstream or the influencers and powers that be in a given space?

Eg, one believe they deserve to be in "the club" and perhaps even an authority in the club, but the club doesn't even seem to want to acknowledge their existence?

And of course, all interactions they have with the club seem to confirm an existing bias that they want nothing to do with them (which is probably false).

I'm all but certain it's not called arrogant-prick-who-seeks-validation syndrome. Curious if this has a title or if anyone has had this experience before, perhaps in school, professionally, or even as an open source contributor.

PS: And of course, in no way whatsoever is this referring to something I've personally dealt with :)
