Honestly I don't find that process hard because I will not allow myself to live in a state of cognitive dissonance - conflicts in logic MUST be resolved. If there is no epistemic resolution possible, then we have nothing to say about this question with any degree of certainty. We can literally ignore all other information that claims to resolve it because we are not smart enough to actually define the problem.

For example we can make no certain conclusions on the "Hard question of consciousness." As a result there is nothing concrete about the concept of consciousness because it's not even a well defined enough question. Anyone attempting to make a claim are making it in an epistemic vacuum. So it doesn't matter who is talking about it, the state of knowledge of the concept of "consciousness" is so lacking that it doesn't even make sense to discuss.

In my view most of the persistent problems in humanity are in this class: we haven't defined measurements for the issue in question well enough to actually be able to approach a solution.

I always keep in mind that: "I'm probably wrong about my position"

Dick Fosbury died last year. I love the story of him arriving at the Olympics, as a 21 year old, with his own technique that he has developed even as he was advised against it.

He was given a blue and a white pair of spikes by Adidas, and he wore one color on each foot.

He went on to win the gold medal, and his technique went on to dominate the sport.

That sounds totally reasonable to me.
The Church requires that you've decided this needs to be organized, all you need to start praying before you go hunt for food is superstition.

The Princes Alice experiments show why superstition might be valuable (and so get preserved in a culture) if you don't have much technology to provide oversight. Children were told to perform a task and that an (invisible) Princess, Alice is watching to check they don't cheat while the adults are away. Superstitious children didn't cheat because they believed in Alice watching them. The non-superstitious children cheated, after first verifying that in fact Alice does not seem to exist (e.g. passing their hand through space supposedly occupied by the invisible princess)
We need "leadership" people in companies to aign off on decisions like how engineers need to sign off on designs. That signature needs to make them accountable for future issues.
We are heading toward times that will make the Cold War and Mutual Assured Destruction look like child's play.

Building nuclear weapons is still very difficult almost a century after their first development. By contrast, within the next 30 years (20? 10?) malicious bioweapons, AI, nanotech, flawless disinformation, and probably other threats I'm not thinking of are going to be things a high schooler with a grudge can develop, and certainly within the reach of a terror group or a hostile government even sooner.

And there won't be the obvious signs there are with nuclear -- high speed centrifuges, fissile material, etc.

We are not prepared. At. All. If we survive, a paradise of technological advancement awaits. But that's a big "if."

Lawyers use English (other languages are available) to express things which have to be very precise. They often end up being argued over in court. Software needs to be massively more precise. I am not hopeful.
Possibly true, but don't sleep on it -- I happened to be transitioning insurance when it happened, so I dragged it out for several days before ending up at the ER. They sent me home later that day, but with strict warnings about calling 911 immediately for any sign of stroke, heart attack or pulmonary embolism. Fortunately all I have to show for it is weakened vein flow in the affected leg.
First amendment loophole.

You can't legally tell someone to commit negligent homicide, but if you tell them the engineering process efficiency management program has passed mandatory quality and safety checks by an accredited third party auditor, then the law can't touch you.

Much like computer science, every problem (like how to avoid being charged for homicide) can be solved by layers of indirection.
Hibernation is great! It compresses with lzo (which should be a good bit smaller than memory size) and soon one will be able to use whatever they want from the kernel crypto apis to compress (lz4 seems to be a focus but maybe Zstd too?).

S3 and s2idle both require good bios support. Many desktops flat out won't suspend. But hibernate? To hibernate requires nothing. The kernel writes it's state as it shuts down, and a kernel when loading looks for hibernation state & loads it if found. The boot path looks normal, works normally, until a good way through the kernel initializing itself. This makes it so much more reliable & available, being not dependent on bios support, not requiring special handling.

Not losing any battery when hibernating is excellent. Just yesterday I turned on a laptop for the first time in a month, and it has a full charge & my full previous state. I love that so much.

I am curious how the kernel handles making space for the hibernation state. Having to dump main memory into some space feels like it has to create a lot of pressure. If swap is already being used, thats got to be quite the effort to hibernate. It seems like it should be failing to hibernate sometimes! Somehow though I've never hit any issues, never heard of any issues.
A logician rides an elevator.
The door opens and someone asks:

Interestingly, GPT-4 also fails to correctly solve this prompt, choosing car A each time after multiple tries for me. I tend to find that models struggle with such logic puzzles when using less common phrasing (e.g., two cars "having" a race instead of participating in one, "headstart" instead of "head-start", etc).

GPT-4 correctly solved the problem when it was reworded to: "There is a 100 mile race with two participants: car A and car B. Car A travels at 10 miles per hour but does not begin driving immediately. Car B travels at 5 miles per hour and is given a 10 hour head-start. After 10 hours, car A begins to move as well. Who wins the race?"
I guess that is true. To me, I think people in the service business, especially back of house in restaurants, have long been getting shafted in terms of pay and quality of life having to work evenings, nights, and weekends for low pay.

So prices going up means they must be getting increased pay (because the restaurant business is so low profit margin).

I do think my career stalled a bit as a result of studying these things, but that's a consequence of the same market thinking you're challenging. The people who hired me are happy they gave me the chance, and presumably like OP said, we aren't that special and there are tons of other talented people who can do this work being ignored because of an excess concern for credentialism.
You're absolutely correct, in that it's never guaranteed what the next token is.

My pushback is limited to that the theoretical maximal degenerate behavior described in either of your comments is highly improbable in practice, with a lot of givens, such as reasonable parameters, reasonable model.

> The neat thing about AWS' AZ architecture is that it's a sweet spot in the middle

What may be less of a sweet spot is AWS' pricing.
> Amazon S3 is the original cloud technology: it came out in 2006. "Objects" were popular at the time and S3 was labelled an "object store", but everyone really knows that S3 is for files. S3

Alternative theory: everyone who worked on this knew that it was not a filesystem and "object store" is a description intended to describe everything else pointed out in this post.

"Objects were really popular" is about objects as software component that combines executable code with local state. None of the original S3 examples were about "hey you can serialize live objects to this store and then deserialize them into another live process!" It was all like "hey you know how you have all those static assets for your website..." "Objects" was used in this sense in databases at the time in the phrase "binary large object" or "blob". S3 was like "hey, stuff that doesn't fit in your database, you know...objects...this is a store for them."

This is meant to describe precisely things like "listing is slow" because when S3 was designed, the launch usecases assumed an index of contents existed _somewhere else_, because, yeah, it's not a filesystem. it's an object store.
Yes, it is unequivocally wrong for us to allow desperate people to get scammed. I almost can't believe I have to say that, but I've been on the internet long enough to know better.
I think of another modern angle, in that Neura-link tech is being promoted, which is a path towards indoctrination, and ironically, the AI Safetyists that criticize unregulated AI/unregulated tech are somewhat indoctrinators themselves. I try to avoid using that term (as it suggests too much). It's more out of the question as to when a student has reached the ability to think independently, that they no longer need a basic amount of instruction to work (and self-study) in other fields.
I see the same approach to the craft when people talk about personal projects or their own startup efforts.

You seem to have taken the OP's comment very personally, and I'm sorry if you're stuck in a job that forces you to compromise your practice even when you know better. But there's also a (admittedly familiar) problem of a prolonged growth boom flooding the industry with bad engineers that produce fragile work and have poor foundational knowledge.
I hate how far Boeing has fallen. The merger with McDonnell Douglas seems to have been a disaster of leadership. I'm sure that's not the only factor, but multiple articles I've read have pointed to that as the turning point.

I'm not super familiar with the regulatory landscape in Europe, but I did find this article [1] while I was researching for this project.

I believe the EU has a similar pathway (in the EU Medical Device Regulation) for new devices relying on equivalence to a predicate, but the requirements for demonstrating equivalence are a higher bar. Joint prostheses (like the one causing cobalt poisoning in the US) are not allowed through this process in the EU.

The iPhone had a non-removable battery, which was a step backwards for consumers. And there was nothing special about it.

At the time I had an HTC TyTN 2 phone that did everything the iPhone could do and more, and had a removable battery, about the same size as the battery inside the iPhone 1. If you look at photos of the TyTN 2 battery, and the iPhone 1 battery, they are very close to the same size.

There was very little difference between those batteries. The TyTN 2 had a 1350mA hour lithium battery. The iPhone 1 had a 1400mA hour lithium battery. Practically no difference there in size or capacity.

So, no, the iPhone's battery was not a "technical marvel" any more than other phones of that era.

And in fact Apple's was a step back by being non-removable. I absolutely loved having a removable battery, because I could bring 2 or 3 with me on a long trip and never have to charge the phone. Apple was less functional in that way.
This is a testament to creativity and hard work. I'm sure their dedication will lead to great success.
First of all, I hope you don't take the feedback here personally. It's great that you tried your design skills in a risky, unconventional presentation form. With all that said, I still think this page is unusable. The colors, fonts are nice though.

Just open your site on mobile and imagine that you don't know the dataset by heart.

Can you glance at the values, can you easily compare different values? When you scroll half a screen to the right, are you completely lost? I know I am. When you select the largest or smallest item, what do you see? What if you then scroll to the other end of the spectrum? Can you read what the smallest item stands for? L1 C something? Can you change the scale so that you can improve what you see? Does scrolling up and down behave intuitively?

All in all, it's just impossible to extract useful information and context using this design. It looks great, you could post it on Behance and it will get positive feedback, but when someone actually wants to use it to discover what the data says, it's a very frustrating user experience.
Because it's something very different. I was expecting standalone numbers that would hint to the user something is wonky if they showed up in unexpected places - numbers like 255 or 2147483647.
With swap it practically never happens unless you have a catastrophic memory leak somewhere. Write endurance isn't that much of a concern with modern SSDs, I just retired an SSD which had been used as my main system and swap drive for about 5 years, and it had clocked up about 80TB of writes in that time. Its rated write endurance was 600TB, and now it's not uncommon for drives to be rated for double or quadruple that amount.
Yes, the headline uses a tortured phrase "fluid drawn during pregnancy," but this is hacker news. The technical term, present in the article, is preferred over inventing "pregnancy fluid" which sounds borderline puerile in its ignorance.

Prompts are horribly non deterministic, that's true;
However, programming through English is the perfect input mode:
if I tell the bot convert these files to this format it's the most convenient way to enter my intent and often the chat bot is even smart enough to guess what you really mean and specify what was left ambiguous. If the produced code does not exactly do what's desired one can iterate, and maybe more important: see the precise reason and deterministically resolve it.

So yes one still needs mathematical programming languages but interacting with them through natural language is a huge leap forward plus (optimistic prediction ) it will also result in a more precise usage or version of English.

This is one of the best parts about hibernation. Shutting down is saving state. Booting? The kernel starts booting as usual, entirely the same as a normal boot. It gets quite far along, has already loaded a bunch of drivers, and then it finds the hibernation state & loads that.

Where-as with most s3 and s2idle suspends, there really is a lot of system level bios support required to make things happen. Many systems just do it wrong, not to spec, or desktops often not at all. These are non-issues in hibernation.

To your point though, I did have a laptop on which the wifi would disappear every other hibernation. I'd tend to hibernate it, immediately wake it up, and hibernate again, so when I really turned it on it would be good to go. For a while I had been packing a USB wifi card because I hadn't put it together. So yeah I've seen issues. A kernel upgrade half a decade ago seemed to have fixed that, but yeah I guess it's some evidence of problems. Still, the amount of time I've spent trying to get systems to suspend has been long & sad & difficult, with little evidence of what's happening. Hibernation has been a pretty reliable & consistent tool that I feel like I can almost always rely on.
The fact that the body parts that identified the statues as females were emphasized is likely to have been much less erotic at a time when nudity was frequent and unlikely to be hidden from the others.

Emphasizing the fertility in the statues is a reason to believe that they could have been intended for use in some rituals or as good-luck charms, but it certainly would not have been a reason to censor their use by children who would have been habitually exposed to nudity, unlike today.
