The issue isn't whether he's making an ass of himself, he certainly does that anytime he gets a platform to speak on regarding general topics. I think everybody knows he does that at this point. So what.

Why should I care if Musk makes a fool of himself when trying to talk about anything outside his competency? Why would I become emotionally charged about such a meaningless topic? His detractors do, they can't control themselves. It's because they now view him as someone to fight with in the forever culture war; they previously viewed him overwhelmingly as an ally, prior to the Trump years.

At issue is whether people can be rational enough to control their emotions and separate out Musk's obnoxious personality, the way he broadcasts it often, from the factual reality of his accomplishments.

The need of his detractors to strip him of all accomplishment, is plainly pathetic. It's easy to recognize both good and bad in regards to the life of a person, without lying and pretending someone like Musk is just all bad/negatives (terrible person, zero accomplishments - that's the detractor position).

They view him as a political and cultural opponent (to one degree or another). If you're their opponent, you must be entirely destroyed (not partially, entirely). Since we live in a culture of extremes in terms of politics / partisanship. Their opponents can have no good qualities, no positives, they're all nazis across the board.

George W Bush garners a lot more sympathy/ respect from the same exact people than Musk does. The guy that launched a war with Iraq that got hundreds of thousands of people killed in the following civil war, he's more likable than Musk per their views. That's the insanity we're dealing with. Because Michelle Obama likes Bush, and Ellen Degeneres likes Bush, the Clintons built a rapport with the Bush family, so golly gee he can't be all bad, tee hee, it's so cute how he paints and stuff. The same people called Bush a nazi while he was in office. It's because he's no longer viewed as part of the culture war, they called off the attack.
Try Jellyfin. It’s the same thing Plex once was but fully open source.
I’m not a doctor, but work with lots. I’m extrapolating what I see and that’s always dangerous, but there isn’t a single colleague whose primary motivation is money. Maybe someone did come in and state an earnings cap, and I’ve been left with the 5%?

Betula is a free federated self-hosted single-user bookmarking software for the independent web.
Late reply, but that is definitely "user error"; and the iPhone will exhibit the same problem if you allow any random app notifications access. There are plenty of bad actors, even on iOS. For example, even Uber Eats will target you with ads if you dare allow all permissions for notifications just to get orders tracking...

In fact, their notification system makes it complicated to just allow specific behavior and not something else. It's not better than the notification settings in typical web apps.
As a day one user of iOS, I find it funny that you complain about notification out of all things, because if there is one place where iOS is just as fucked as every other platform it's notifications...

Nowadays I have resorted to basically denying notification for everything but the few stuff where they are actually relevant...

Also, you should correctly set things up for your mother and refuse notification prompt for every website and just whitelist the few that might be usefull..
Ah yes, here come the arguments for "monitoring".

Next come regulations about having to "cooperate".

Then the question will be raised as to what happens to those rich people who don't cooperate, or middle class / poor people who, god forbid, don't agree with this plan for society. Pretty soon, you've got your jackboots and your re-education camps.
Reminds me of when the PCs on display at Sears, CompUSA, etc. would have their demo software running which didn't let you do the one thing you should do when buying a PC.. actually use it. So I used to CTRL+ALT+DEL and kill the demo software with the task manager. For the more stubborn demo software that would instantly relaunch, I'd then open msconfig, uncheck the demo software from running on startup, and reboot.

I remember the amazement and joy of other people nearby watching, who would then ask me to do it on their PC so they too could click around and play Minesweeper or Pinball :-)

Sounds so amateur now, but it's hard to remember that CTRL+ALT+DEL in the mid-90's was -- dare I say it? -- sort of a power tool that only more experienced users knew about.
Circumventing NetNanny definitely forced me to level up my computer skills. Classic.
This one is ending badly too. Uncontrolled pandemic with over a million dead, openly supporting a genocide in Palestine, endless war, near zero democratic input from people less rich than wealthy suburbanites, climate crisis, the ending of U.S. hegemony causing a hyperfixation on military control of the world. It goes on and on, and can all be traced back to a fundamentally undemocratic governance structure and economic structure.

It didn't help that prior attempts, while making their own mistakes, were facing an implacable powerful enemy that constantly set out to destroy them. Security threats generate centralization and reduced democracy in all societies.
On the flipside if all resistive load heaters came with a BTC miner they could get some additional utility from the energy.
Invest in a STM32G0 Discovery Kit for about $60. It tells you exactly what your USB-C power cube is capable of putting out.

So far I've only found one 35W Samsung cube that meet the spec of putting out 3.1V to 21V.

Most only put out one or two of the voltages of 9V, 12V, 15V or 21V. The 15W and under are usual 9V or 12V, with one being 15V. All will always default to 5V.

If you consider the consumption of energy required to make an EV versus a die cast combustion engine, you'll see the energy consumption got front loaded.
But we know those taxes don't exist right now. That would be a way to fix the problem, but it sounds like you agree that the problem exists and the burning in the thought experiment is a bad thing.
Being Data Driven: Do you use XmR charts?
This is a real problem. The good news is that if its not healthy for an individual, its not healthy for their family. A diet comprised of no fiber, no protein and high added sugar is always unhealthy. Families tend to eat similarly. Its very rare to have someone eat well and someone to eat unhealthily.

It also excludes going out to eat. That being said, if someone is concerned about their health enough to use an app like this, they SHOULD be eating at home more. They only way to know what is in your food is to make it yourself.
We explain in depth (cf. especially the cites below) why the theory and design of Cyc failed to achieve the results sought. Our system is not statistical (it is entirely causal) so it clearly cannot be derived from LLMs. While the system does support NLP applications (and tends to use construction grammar for handling syntax), those NLP applications (and construction grammar) have nothing to do with the core system itself. We explicitly reject formal logic and FOPC as the basis of our inference; as the history of the discipline and our work show, not only are these formalisms not powerful enough to achieve AGI, but the epistemology baked into them is entirely incompatible with the real world. The system does enable simulation, which is at the core of intelligence.

Our system does not require human input for bootstrapping - in fact, it explicitly rejects any use of human cognition and/or human-derived information, as the profound biases found therein cannot be removed.

The system separates knowledge creation from verification and application. Knowledge can be created via any means, including via human effort, but this is irrelevant because the system is explicitly constructed so that no human beliefs 'leak' into the knowledge. The paper lays out a very specific protocol we use to ensure that if humans help in knowledge verification this strict rejection of human inputs will not be violated.

In some cases humans may be called upon to validate knowledge, but they may only state that an atom is incorrect, not adapt it to match their thinking. If incorrect, new atoms can be created, but these must again be validated via the same process. All knowledge is proven correct independent of human judgment; if there is any ambiguity that the knowledge is correct, it must be redone until it is obviously correct.

All operations of the system are entirely unguided by humans (as they must be, but they are also provably correct and safe) - thus, it does not 'parasitize' human intelligence.

In the end, the paper does do what it says on the tin - prove that AGI has been achieved.

Amazon is also a sketchy Chinese platform now. There is no alternative. We killed local manufacturing and sustainability a long time ago.
which proves my point as monarchs do not retire
Labor fought hard for retirement and benefits. That's all slowly unravelling, so now The Economist can boldly proclaim that you shouldn't even want that retirement.

Labor also fought hard for shorter work hours and work week. I suppose The Economist would like us to work longer and more days a week so that we can really be "fulfilled," too?

Not to trip Godwin's law, but there was a "camp slogan" this reminds me of . . .
As far as my very limited understanding goes, the transputer reference is simply referring to a highly parallel message-passing system based on message queues, not actual hardware implementations.

As for lack of preemption, that's explained by the system not implementing a scheduler. The system "just" implements an executor.

An Executor is a component that handles subscriptions (e.g. to interrupts or events/messages), services (both clients and servers), timers, and QoS events (deadline missed, invalid QoS request, task died/unresponsive, etc.), which are implemented as tasks (Aerugo calls them "tasklets") and registered with the executor.

• Subscriptions are tasks that subscribe to a topic (of a message).

• Service servers are tasks that are invoked when a request from a client is received.

• Service clients are tasks that are invoked whenever a response from a server is received.

• Timers trigger when a timer expired.

• QoS events are fired when a deadline has been missed, a task died/became unresponsive, and other stuff like a QoS request couldn't be met, etc.

Aerugo supports a subset of these capabilities, namely message queues (for subscribers/clients and producers/servers), events (IRQs, h/w signals, etc.), and cyclic execution (execute the task n-times or forever).

Scheduling - i.e. the priority of things - is handled by the user or built into the Executor itself. For Aerugo the former is the case, so if you need control over priorities and order of task execution, you'd have to implement it on top of it.

Now the realtime-part isn't really affected by any of this. It still allows for weaker RT systems. RT just means there's a time constraint on executed tasks. Weaker systems have average runtime guarantees (e.g. a tasks have to finish within a limit on average, i.e. outliers are allowed). Stronger systems are stricter in the sense that tasks always have to finish within the limit. The strongest systems even enforce an exact limit (that is, tasks aren't even allowed to finish sooner - they have to take exactly a given amount of time).

Preemption is required if tasks have to be scheduled w.r.t. to different priorities, especiallyy in multi-threaded scenarios. Lack of it means that the executor will never interrupt a running task to execute tasks that take priority - at least from what I understand, which might be wrong.
It also processes over 4,000 times as many transactions: https://matthewminer.name/blog/bitcoin-energy-consumption-vs...

The fact that 0.025% of transactions use 33% of the power is not exactly a win for Bitcoin.
In my Former Soviet Country, this is a fairly common thing that (sensible) older generation intellectuals remind to Gen Y/Gen Z lefties. There was a short period of "dude, communism is quite hip" in some circles roughly a decade ago, but this seemed more like an overblown, cynical nostalgic game, because we still have Soviet era artifacts lying around everywhere.

As of today, I think Russia's idiotic invasion to Ukraine has destroyed those mind-games of a functioning society with very strong central planning. Even if it might truly include thoughtful, interesting ideas in countries that by now have a long, unbroken tradition with democracy, I guess people of the former Soviet Bloc are extra careful these days. YMMV, of course.
Sure, but the gotcha there is that we shouldn't be using resistive load heaters, they're only 100% efficient. Heat pumps are several hundred percent efficient - 300-600% in fact. Whereas resistive heaters convert electricity into heat directly, heat pumps use energy to move heat against a temperature gradient.

The idea that you can be paid to waste this power just creates economic incentives against the improvements we actually need to be making.
Absolutely.

I trained and live to work, but I spend way too much time getting permission (in one sense or another). And repeat.

My ideal "retirement" is to have enough money in the bank that I can actually apply my hard-earned skills to real problems, without the friction of cargo-culting interviewers, dysfunctional organizations, misaligned individuals, BS/evil missions, etc.

And early retirement, for me, is partly about getting use out of the skills in which I've invested, before my interests shift horrifically to playing golf, taking cruises, and bingo.
That's where creating new accounts like [name]+aliexpress2@[domain] come in handy, no?
Aliexpress seems fairly safe. And you can get some niche things. Eg, I managed to get replacement headphone ear pads for a good price. Took forever to arrive, but they were cheap enough to risk it. If I ever need a replacement part, I check Aliexpress.

Neat!

str.trim().split(" ").map(hex => String.fromCharCode("0x" + hex)).join()

Averaging over a pre-defined time period smooths out variations like this.
What a cool idea! Nice job.
That rule is great in a monoculture but fails when good-faith participants are coming from widely differing perspectives and values. If it’s not a good faith discussion, nothing helps.

But I’m not actually trying to engineer a debate ruleset, I’m mostly pointing out how people try to get away with being assholes.
You can have both. APE are generally faster and smaller.

One data point:
I used to buy stuff occasionally on AliExpress, but got sick of waiting 4-6 weeks and occasionally having stuff never even show up. Temu has been burning money to gain market share, which equated to coupons that made things cheaper than AliExpress for a time, combined with 10-day-or-less shipping. They even credited me $5 on a $10 order when they were 1 day late for shipping.

I've since noticed Temu starting to tighten their purse strings a little, as the free shipping minimum is now $20 instead of $10. AliExpress has also responded to the competition and seem to be using stateside warehousing for popular items (or some other magic) to match Temu's ~10 day shipping times, so I've gone back to AliExpress for the most part. AliExpress has a wider swath of product too owing, I presume, to their many years of additional time in the marketplace.
Exactly. This kind of thing happens to other manufacturers all the time.

If you google "ford power steering recall" for example.

I haven't poked into the source code, but usually a QoS event is fired, e.g. "deadline missed". What happens exactly in that case is very application specific.
Your comment is being burned to the ground, but I remember watching this anthropologist talk about Islamic terrorism, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlbirlSA-dc and I see parallels in the white men extremism..

The big claim to fame of string theory is that gravity falls out of the calculations, which the standard model famously failed to produce for close to 100 years now.

You seem like someone who doesn't want to shop like a billionaire! In all seriousness I 100% agree, I feel like this company is a massive house of cards that will end up like Evergrande etc. What is crazy is almost every site I visit I see a Temu ad so their ad spend is borderline insane to begin with, it growing larger is even more unbelievable.

Not a flamewar, honest question from someone that couldn't stand Word last time I used it (far over a decade ago) but actually likes Open Office (well, LibreOffice, but I still call it Open Office). I'll grant that the Excel equivalent is nowhere near feature competitive with Excel, but the Word equivalent is, in my opinion, better.

Have you tried Libre Office? I'd love to hear your opinion.
The issue with your argument is there's no real evidence that Bitcoin mining is spurring investment in renewable power plants, and quite a bit of evidence that it is deterring disinvestment in dirty power plants. Furthermore, the links you point to start out by talking about how Bitcoin miners are being paid to not mine.

It's actually rather more like "we'll rapaciously use energy to bring the grid to its utmost limits, but don't worry, if you pay us lots of money [in some cases, more than we get from our regular business!], we'll happily not use quite enough to actually cause it to buckle and fail." Sounds like an extortion racket, doesn't it?

I have (and have a Jellyfin server running on the network). IMO, it's nowhere near as polished as the 2017 version of Plex. Cover art and metadata matching is terrible. Plex seems to handle slightly "off" filenames and folder names far better.

Every so often I update jellyfin and try again, only to find it's still a worse experience than Plex.
They collect a lot of information, but make very little of it available. What is available isn't exposed in a particularly friendly way. Some of the extra data they gathered makes it into the Year in Review stats they make available at the start of the year. https://social.bdash.net.nz/@mrowe/111779120066480793 shows an example of this.
