I'll try, but you may need to give a more detailed question…

The fact that my experience is the only one I can experience, makes it special to me; at the same time, by default, unless and until given reason to the contrary, I project onto everyone else the same mind that I myself have.

I don't currently share ninjanomnom's opinion, but I used to: they wrote "I've never thought I was special" — as a child neither did I, but over the years I have learned this is not correct, and that I'm weird in a lot of ways. I don't experience so much disgust as others seem to, with the exception of violent horror where my disgust reaction is vastly stronger than that of society at large. I do have an extreme disinterest in spending money that means I can't even imagine regularly spending as much as €750/month combined on all the things that aren't rent/mortgage repayments. Conservatism was an alien concept until I learned about Chesterton's Fence. Back in the late 90s, I was one of about 4 kids in a school of 1000 who preferred to do maths homework than to have the afternoon off to watch the World Cup (and at that point I didn't even realise that made me weird, I thought everyone else was weird for watching it).

As a kid, I projected my thought process onto other humans, and (thanks to a teenage fling with Wicca) natural phenomena. Yes, this was an error on my part; my mum remained a believer in the supernatural for her whole life, told me she was disappointed when my (older) brother stopped believing, and I overheard her saying much the same to my partner about me when she realised I'd stopped believing.

It may well also be an error to project any kind of mind-model onto LLMs. We don't know for sure yet, because we don't know what it would take for an information processor to have qualia. (Why do I have qualia? My brain is a bag of cells sending electrochemical signals to each other). That said, I'd say there's value to interacting with them as if it were truly "like us": as they are trained on human interactions, I believe you get the most out of them by talking to them in the same way you'd talk to a human, regardless of what is or isn't going on inside.

But even though I can reason that I'm special (or at least that I'm weird), if I'm not actively thinking about it, I still default to projecting onto other humans and certain animals.
I’m glad people find value in patterns like these, but I’m so sick of them. Plain Ruby code is so much easier to debug, which is all that matters in the long run. The senior engineer who introduced the thing like this inevitably leaves and nobody cares to learn some bespoke abstraction enough to keep using it.

I’m sure this is great and solves real problems for OP and friends. I just ask that you think twice about it before forcing it on coworkers. Please, this poor soul can’t take it anymore.
A fixed weight but not angle means the force varies. Cut the cable and acceleration would therefore also vary with that angle along the track.

Springs make a lot of sense from an installation perspective and can be easily tuned to match the specific door design, but if I was working from scratch on a DIY project I would prefer to use a counterweight if there was somewhere it fit.
I agree with your interpretation. There is something there to be learned for sure, but I’m doubtful whatever that thing is will be a breakthrough in machine learning or optimization, nor that it will come by applying the tools of analysis. The idea of “emergence” is interesting although vague and bordering on unscientific. Maybe complexity theory, graph theory, and information theory might provide some insights. But in the end, I would guess those insights impact will be limited to tricks that can be used to engineer marginally better architectures or marginally faster training methods.
Helium project https://www.helium.com/lorawan IIRC it had a lorawan component and a 5G component. You had to buy their bridge/gateway and connect them to the internet. Then you got paid on (mined) something resembling check-ins from LoRa devices, multiplied by how 'underserved' that area was.

Then of course people were creating hacked clients that were capturing like 99% of the Helium coin or whatever it was.

Honestly, I'm not even sure it is a bad idea and they may have resolved some of the concerns by now. It seems like a good way to incentivize people to deploy and maintain the gateways.
> That's not a very different argument from saying people will steal merchandise and sell it on the corner because consumers prefer to pay less and not walk the aisles.

Do you not think that's true? Why do people steal merchandise and sell it on the corner?

You see an almost identical argument all the time wrt cigarette taxes - even though cigarette buyers have inelastic demand, there's a limit to how high you can raise the taxes, because eventually everyone will be buying smuggled cigarettes.
This paper (2012) seems to sum it up, though it assumes familiarity with trends in physics up to the origins of the standard model c. 1970:

It points to string theory having no predictive capabilities due to multiple-universe issues, we just happened to have evolved in a universe where the (randomly selected) parameters allow for element formation and life:

> "Thus, there is no point in trying to understand the world order: the mass hierarchies, the smallness of the cosmological constant, the absence of the fourth generation, you name it. Nor such attempts will be meaningful in the future. All this is an environmental coincidence. Just take it as is and live happily ever after. This is nothing else than the anthropic principle in its extreme realization, with a religious (or philosophical, if you put it milder) flavor."

> "Indeed, even if this is true, we will never know. All “extra” universes are causally disconnected from our, so there is no physical way to confirm their existence of non-existence in experiment. So, this part of the landscape paradigm is the act of belief in today’s string theory, not supported by any evidence, and not to be supported by evidence in the future."
Not your parent poster. I know libre everything is an important cause to fight for but I didn't want to beta-test new products so I bought a refurbished HP 15s about two years ago. Full AMD configuration (I was specifically looking for that) and the CPU (5500U) is surprisingly fast. I have put 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD with high durability value and just recently provisioned the machine with Manjaro + XFCE. Works amazingly quickly and everything was fine out of the box (used my Airpods Max as well).

Apart from me not liking XFCE (and X11 in general) and that I'll re-provision it with KDE instead, I am very happy with the result. This laptop puts my iMac Pro to shame.

I don't get where the stopping point is. When does using your resources to gain more resources start to become immoral? You concede that the nameless workers ought to be capturing some economic power, which acknowledges that it's a basic human right to accrue economic power. What you won't seem to entertain is the possibility that an investor is fairly accruing economic power by using his existing economic power to fuel another profitable enterprise. If you keep repeating that process, your capital compounds, but there's no principled reason to say that any step in that process involved extractive / exploitative gains.
what I need is a way for any arbitrary team member (not just the sales people that have a PipeDrive account) to be able to BCC PipeDrive/Okapi and get that email linked to the deal. think of some engineering questions being answered directly by hardcore scientists that don't normally have anything to do with sales. I want them to simply BCC and internal address at our domain which forwards to Okapi or PipeDrive. then the person in charge of PipeDrive can attribute those emails to the right deals if the system can't figure it out automatically from previous correspondence)
Similarly, Google purchased reCaptcha and ended up harnessing the stream of human interaction into that to, among other things, classify all of their Street View content (e.g. select the stop lights/bridges/license plates/etc).

Sounds like Canon is really bad in supporting driver changes in subsequent OS releases. I recall diagnosing the same issue with a colleagues Mac over 10 years ago. She updated the OS and the printer she bought with the computer 3 OS'es ago stopped working. Turns out something with how Printers were handled changed and Canon refused to release updated drivers for a discontinued machine. I recall that some third party hobbyist had developed a method to make the printer work but it took hours to try and get it working until we just gave up....also her dog accidentally yanked on the printer cord and it went flying off the table. That was also motivation to stop trying. I am more inclined to blame Canon than Apple here.

I think everyone has a list of inventions that are so great that a patent is a fair way for society to reward the inventor. Alas, the personal lists are often much shorter than the patent offices' lists.

Fine point which has nothing to do with my comment.
> One of the fixes this release is untrainable SIGKILLs programs for illegal memory accesses, which is a perfectly boring and sensible security practice

The signal raised for page faults should be (and actually was, before 14.4) SIGSEGV, and not SIGKILL. This behaviour is even defined by POSIX.

There is no reason why this should change, specially not in the final release instead of in the public betas and early access releases (where the change was not present).

Nobody is saying Apple doesn’t make mistakes but you don’t have to be an especially knowledgeable follower of the online media world to know that sites live and die by social media clicks driving ad revenue, and recycling a few tweets and Reddit posts into an article is one way to provide the constant churn of attention-grabbing posts which sites like Twitter demand.

IMO, what needs to happen is that half-assed mobile GPUs need to stop including their own MMU, and use a standard IO-MMU.
Buffett has earned economic power by proving he uses it efficiently. He clearly has a good sense of where to put money such that it creates disproportionate value for society at large, where 'good' here means better than millions of others attempting the same. His investments encourage and empower companies to think in longer terms. He has pledged to give it all to charity and has already made good on a record breaking 50B of that pledge. He's not a great foil to use for criticizing capitalism.

>There should exist no single person with the amount of economic power that Buffett has

Why not, then? From a consequentialist utilitarian perspective, we seem to be much better off with Buffett being allowed to do what he wants with his money. From a deontological rights perspective, we reach the same conclusion.

Should anyone be allowed the political power of a US president or senator or mayor?

>contracts are based on laws and capital writes the laws

This seems to lack substance. If I agree to do task X in exchange for reward Y, enforced by the law saying I have to honor what I agree to, and you think I should be getting Y+Z, is your issue really that the law was written by capital? AFAIK, most contract law restricts what I'm allowed to give away and guarantees that I get a minimum in return. Is there a particular law governing contracts that, if removed, would move things in the direction you prefer? Because otherwise I'd think you'd be quite happy with the 'you can't trade your basic rights away, you can't sell yourself into slavery, you must make at least minimum wage, etc.' that we've already got (and that you allege capital is resposible for) and seeking an additional 'you must capture at least 75% of the value you create' or something. Unless you're fundamentally opposed to contracts in general?

Thanks for your feedback. Out of curiosity, when you say "plain Ruby code" what do you mean, exactly? Presumably you're still making use of _some_ patterns that you think are Ok.
The problem with that is that it creates an incentive to hoard real estate for the purpose of wealth preservation, which can have major detrimental effects. Even using stocks for this purpose may cause or exacerbate problems, such as asset bubbles.

Why is it preferable for people to hoard land than money? Land is a tangible and productive asset; if I had to choose between the two, I'd rather that it be efficiently allocated than that money were. Only those people who desperately need land, in order to make productive use of it, should have any financial incentive to own it.
exactly right.
Also, some companies[1] have been caught being naughty and installing CA certs which allowed third parties to MiTM local connections. This was a major issue and, at least in my case, what drived many to pin certs at the time.

It'd be great if there were something similar for TV and movies. The streaming landscape is too damn fragmented these days with confusing exclusivity deals, libraries shrinking, and prices rising.
Your point is a salient one. It would be useful if we could provide guarantees/bounds on generalization, or representation power, or understand how brittle a model is to shifts in the data distributions. Are these questions of the kind that are answered in part by the authors? I haven’t read the manuscript, but the title doesn’t indicate this is the aim of the research, but it indicates an eye to something much broader and vague (“learning”).

> The ice-cream business also makes up a significant chunk of Unilever’s carbon footprint, with in-store freezers accounting for 10% of the company’s overall greenhouse-gas emissions.

It's amazing to think that such a large company could have 10% of their carbon footprint from just one small brand. Of course, spinning it off doesn't actually improve the total carbon footprint; it just takes it off Unilever's balance sheet, so to speak (and allows an executive to claim credit for the environmental 'win'.

This is one reason high income/wealth disparity is corrosive to society. I suspect many executives have "let them eat cake" thoughts even if they don't voice them when it comes to layoffs. Being laid off when you have millions in the bank would just mean free time to perfect your short game and it's hard to understand the stress layoffs cause people who depend on regular paycheques for food and shelter.

In theory direct connections between all devices on the internet. In practice, everything's still going to be behind a firewall. But it's still an improvement over NAT, and hopefully we'll eventually get universally adopted protocols for applications to open ports.

I've been using IPv6 more recently, and one nice thing as a developer is being able to use the same IP address for local connections and internet connections. Simplifies managing TLS certs for example, since the IP address used by Let's Encrypt is the same one I'm connecting to while developing.

Attio is great. I think it's among the best new entrants.

So far, the main difference is that Okapi can be even simpler than Attio if you'd like it to be. There are no mandatory built-in objects, and no enrichments/automations/etc that you can't disable. You can KISS your sales process as much as you like.
