> My dream self will now reliably recognize this and voice frustration at being stuck in a dream, unable to practice.

If you recognize you're actually dreaming, though, is this a lucid dream?

I've only had a couple lucid dreams in my life, and I thought they were some of the most awesome things I've ever experienced. Real life holodeck!
+1 to this. As a long time cannabis user who is quite skeptical of many of the purported health benefits, this is one I’m not at all skeptical about. It’s actually just the other side of the coin of the degraded short/mid term memory that is a well known downside of habitual cannabis use. But as someone with frequent, vivid nightmares when I’m sober, I can attest that cannabis effectively blocks my ability to remember most dreams - which again is a mixed bag, as I enjoy recalling happy or neutral dream, but when I’m stressed being able to basically opt out of vivid nightmares is a huge boon.

Interesting to see the other side of the pirate radio story. Pirate radio has been romanticized as anti-corporate, but it’s clear that many of these stations were businesses that were only interested in avoiding regulation and licensing.

> In 2018 the FCC carried out four raids across the United States with levied fines totalling $161,844. From 1998 until 2017 the FCC made 2,187 visits and 148 raids on pirate stations across the country. There were Notices of Apparent Liability fines and illegal broadcasting fines totalling $ 4,701,558 (an average $425). Many of these fines remained uncollected despite the authorities in attempt to collect and court challenges.

If the average fine was $425 and many of them weren’t even being collected, I can see why people would take the risk.

I have spent so much time in Canada and it is just unbelievable watching the country go more and more insane.

What I have read about the Harms act is so bat shit crazy that it is hard to believe it can be real. Then looking at polling on support of the bill it seems like that is what Canadians want.

I actually didn't know there are buildings that say "no whites allowed". How incredibly disturbing. All while electing a leader with multiple pictures in black face.

Yes. I think in the US politics "blob" eg. the sanctions against Huawei are still seen as enormously succesful in the sense that they did huge economic damage on the company without China being able to retribute directly. However today Huawei mass-produces a modern high-end phone and if you open that phone, none of the components inside are produced by western companies, everything is Chinese. That is really remarkable. And it is not going to stop with a phone.
This guy probably made atleast 100 million. Can we just call it retiring
How does AI help in solving the issues you brought over in your post?

> a declining population, a younger generation, that does not want to reproduce, neither working off the available work. We need a solution for that.

And what do you reckon is the reason for that? "Kids these days are lazy and only want to have fun", or something to that extent?
Or is that because the cost of living has skyrocketed, the future is uncertain and people are afraid of the planet becoming more and more inhospitable for humans in the following decades or even years?

Maybe people do not want to work despite the job availability because those jobs offer piss poor conditions and no security? If not for all these reasons, why would people act so differently than in the past?

Once you put your precious A"I" in the equation, what do you get out of it? Even less job security, more leverage for bad employers to threaten workers with the magic wand of "you'll get substituted", and arguably way shittier quality of products all around (cases in point: A"I" customer service that fails to be satisfactory in resolving customer issues or become a huge nuisance to deal with, or A"I" "art" in articles and blogs that' so easy to spot that you could arguably be better off with no illustrations at all).

> So we need systems, that learns human knowledge, refines it, makes it better and takes over all of the work.
First off, who is "we"? And secondly, once it "takes over all of the work" (whatever that means), what are people going to do? Do you really think we'll get some utopian fantasy like UBI?

> And for programmers: is sitting not the new cig smoking and drinking alcohol for early death?

The root cause is psychological, but it's manifested itself in physical changes. She's hyper-sensitive to certain sounds for example, which causes her to not be able to fall asleep, or to abruptly wake up. Mostly low frequency sounds, so hard to block.

> You avoid the problem where the compression library in the std library is the one that experienced programmers tell all the noobs that they should never use.

This is not inevitable. In the .NET world we have great compressors in the standard library. Zip and gzip aren't going anywhere. I totally disagree with the idea that we would have been better off without those compressors in the standard library.

Thats linear scaling [1] so its still scaling quadratically. Ax^2 + Bx is a quadratic, after all!

(Also, shouldn't the first order approx should neglect wind speed as a function of height?)

[1] actually worse. From Wiki entry for "Wind Gradient"

"Although the power law exponent approximation is convenient, it has no theoretical basis.[18] When the temperature profile is adiabatic, the wind speed should vary logarithmically with height,[19] Measurements over open terrain in 1961 showed good agreement with the logarithmic fit up to 100 m or so, with near constant average wind speed up through 1000 m.[20]"
The American constitution prohibits torture [1] so no one should be getting tortured by the government anywhere in the world. Of course, you could get around this by redefining what constitutes torture and getting a pliant attorney to sign off and away you go.

Data rights are not embedded in the constitution and so the US is currently in the process of creating a patchwork of (mostly state driven) legislation to define how user data can be treated. Hopefully, the Federal government will step in at some point and create some consistency and clarity with rules that are both practical and efficacious.

I think it’s a fair assumption that you cant trust memories of dreams. Heck, you can’t even trust memories of eyewitnesses very much. We are all doing a -lot- of active inference and post hoc reconstruction all the time. We just don’t notice the gaps because 1. We are good at it and are often right and 2. People rarely call you out on mistakes even if they’re obvious, because it’s impolite or they are not sure either.

Shouldn't this apply even more strongly to faces versus hands? AI seems to have a significantly easier time with those.

Having lived in Romania during communism, I was shocked in disbelief when I read that the VCR's original purpose was recording and not playing. Having a video here at those times was more prised here than having a car (which you couldn't drive much anyway on 20 liters of gas a month which was the amount one was entitled to buy after waiting innumerable hours in the queue at petrol stations). And to record what, 2 hours of TV per day that only showed Great Leader's achievements?

Playing western movies was the whole purpose and beat by far any other form of entertainment. So imagine my surprise when discovering people were using these wonderful devices primarily to record stuff...
That sounds at least somewhat helpful. Honestly, a gradient for some of this stuff would be nice. Explain to me like I'm: "five", "a high schooler", "a college grad (not CS/ML/Eng)", "a CS/Eng not ML".

My experience is that whilst it's not perfect, modern models can create images with text that is correct, relatively often.

As a test I just tried ChatGPT with the prompt :-

Hi ChatGPT can you give me a picture of a banner that says "Hacker news"

And the resultant image does indeed have that text on it. Where I've seen this approach fall down, is where the text is long and/or complex or the words are uncommon.

so while there's some way to go, things are definitely improving here.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Then we get into the territory of the Mandela effect and false memories and suggestibility, and the idea that memories in general are fabrications, or guesses, to explain the facts (including neurological facts like sensations and emotions?) with a narrative, and - yeah, we can't process the world without imposing theories on it: for instance the raw physical world has no definite boundaries between objects, those are just ideas to organize it with.

What is PMF ?
Luggage. Airlines make quite a bit hauling cargo on passenger flights so they are essentially subsidizing seats as long as people don’t check bags and charging inflated prices when they do.

Convenience especially in terms of number of flights. This gets into a bunch of economic and logistical issues, but airlines are happy to abandon less profitable areas. While regulators want regular service even if the demand isn’t quite there

Service. The minimum number of attendants is based on safety, airlines would happily cut those workers.

Safety.

I find this perspective very in tune with my own experiences. Tests don't mean your code behaves correctly from an outside perspective - just that it behaves like you meant it to. I've caught plenty of issues in code review that had perfectly reasonable tests validating the developers bad assumptions.
We've investigated ketamine treatment, which does indeed sound very interesting. However very few clinics here that offer it, though it seems to have improved recently. Definitely will follow up on this.
> pretty much every service will still work with desktop bankid or the physical device (säkerhetsdosa) your bank gives you

When I applied for citizenship for my kids, it did not work for me to sign the form that my wife filled in.

I got a letter a few days ago saying Swedbank was going to stop using paper for pension information and switch to digital. The site they gave only supports Mobil BankID. (They say they will add BankID på fil at some point.)

I have tried to order things online which only support Mobil BankID, not BankID på fil.

> if it's just Android it will most likely work just fine.

That is a technical workaround to what requires a political solution. As BankID cranks up the security level, they are likely to prohibit alternative solutions unless required to by law, in the name of security, but also because it's easier.

> I can certainly say you picked the wrong country

Oh? Which country is better?

What surprised me is the willingness to let a US company become the gatekeeper to daily life. The government should demand more oversight and more restrictions on what Google and Apple are allowed to do, as a matter of sovereignty, as both countries have proven averse to following EU regulations.

I like Bank-Id and Swish too. I want to use them. I don't like the ToS I am required to agree to in order to use them, and I think the government could and should fix that.

The ultimate limit on # of Starship launches may be from water pollution in the upper atmosphere.

Each Starship launches produces about 600 tons of water (either in the exhaust, or from oxidation of hydrogen in the exhaust). Let's ballpark this and say half is ejected in or above the stratosphere (any ejected above the atmosphere quickly returns to the atmosphere.)

The Feb. 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai injected an estimated 146 million tons of water into the stratosphere. So, under the ballpark assumption this would be equivalent to half a million Starship launches. Beyond that (if even that is acceptable, as the water stays up there for several years) materials in space might have to be obtained from space sources, not by launch from Earth.

EDIT: why was this downvoted?
ICBMs aren't uniformly randomly distributed across the globe, though. You would only need to cover a few selected orbital inclinations, corresponding to the latitude of the launch sites (albeit with a large number of RAs, but probably nothing more than what SpaceX already does for Starlink).

The calculus is even better for the most-probable launch scenario, over-the-pole, since all the high-inclination interceptor orbits will converge in the same region as the ICBMs.

For SBLMs the calculus is theoretically a bit less favorable, but most of Russia's SSNs will be in the Arctic Ocean anyway to avoid USN attack submarines.
Kneading, even with a mechanical dough kneader, isn’t extraction.

macOS supports running as a paravirtualised guest OS (officially, on an apple-hardware host also running macOS). If there is to be a "next gen" of hackintoshing, I think it'd be based on a cut-down linux host acting as a shim between the real hardware and the paravirt interface.

If she's sensitive to sound and light, what has she tried to address that? Like blackout curtains?

I understand the struggle though which is why I asked so many questions, because all of these things have factored into my quest for better sleep. The psychological stuff is hard.

"legitimately better than a regular 4K TV broadcast by enabling hardcore fans to feel much closer to the action" sounds like it offers something new.

People who are sports enthusiasts have a proven willingness to drop thousands of dollars on large screen televisions, streaming services like NFL Red Zone, or thousand dollar Superbowl tickets, so the potential for sales is there.
digital TV never worked as well as analog. in my opinion, the switch should have never been justified until it could be qualitatively proven that digital > analog. by "greater than" / better I mean not interrupting the viewing experience, especially the audio. This test would be done using stock antennae within reasonable distance from the transmitter. or even better, actually ask users which they prefer: UHF analog or digital. don't switch until 2/3 or more prefer digital. I've never consistently watched DTV, because inevitably a disruption will come and block the audio for about 1.5s, and completely freeze the video. It's simply a waste of time.

> For organization 10, the plane is goood, for organization 11, the plane is bad...

that's probably because for 11, there will be more results (say 10k), and optimizer decided that it is faster to scan already sorted index with filter, than sort 10k rows.

Logic of optimizer is usually reasonable, my problem with it is that it relies on cost config parameters, which I think by default are inadequate for modern servers, it is not clear how to set it correctly, and actual optimizer rules are not documented, but one need to look at PgSQL code to understand them.

>I think the idea is to starve the Chinese on AI advances, but there isn't much point spending a fortune training such models when you can have an insider leak it to you for much less money.

But why is this a good idea? You're saying it as if it's obviously a good idea. Why not cut off the entire food supply from some impoverished nation in Africa? Is that justified? What justifies stopping AI advances or blocking technological progress in China?

Seems like the main justification is that we can't accept China surpassing us. That's not a moral excuse, it's a petty one.

Nah, Congress keeps shipbuilding alive like any other too big to fail shit show, making the navy buy and maintain ships they don't want and at exorbitant costs because the ships are flawed from day 1.

All the Jones Act has done is increase shipping costs in the country as every shipper is forced to use trucks and rail freight instead. It impacts everything, even the costs to build homes because heavy bulk goods more or less end up on trucks over long distances.
