So your point is that there is a chance that soem microscopic parts in the Bible contain good lessons? I agree, some children stories also have good lesions.

The fact that religion survived or spread does not prove what you imply it proves, it was an useful tool for the powerful to keep the poor in check like

1 Bible says to pay your taxes

2 Bible says that is OK to be poor because you will be rewarded later

3 Bible says that violence is bad so do not attack your lord and try to make justice on Earth, you will get your justice in the next realm.

And so on, a very good tool to manipulate people.
Nice find!

> "Apple APU. The Model 7811 B Arithmetic Processor Unit is intended to increase the execution speed of Applesoft II programs and the number of math functions available. The system employs an AMD9511 APU and plugs into one of the Apple expansion slots. The CCSoft interpreter is loaded from the diskette provided, and the system is ready to, go. The CCSoft interpreter is identical to Applesoft, except that CCSoft sends arithmetic functions to the APU for fast execution.

If you can't learn any information from "shortage" then that's your problem. Most people can.

> Agreed. The nature of lag would ensure that price could not react in a timely manner to such an extreme event. Eventually correction could take place, but a shortage would ensue for a period of time.

Even after the prices correct, it would still be a shortage.

Digging out of that pit of missing units would take orders of magnitude longer than the price adjustments.

> jets, trinkets

You could easily get a trinket at trivial cost if you wanted it, so it's not a shortage.

For jets, we need to consider the utility of them and the production cost. You can't get one, but having one is not important to you, and the price is not being inflated by supply problems. So it's not a shortage (For individuals, at least. Airlines or countries can experience a jet shortage.)

> What on earth does "supply and demand being prevented" mean? You cannot prevent supply and demand. It's not a thing that can be manipulated, it's just the observation of humans (and sometimes animals!) interacting with each other in the face of scarcity.

The stuff you said earlier about government intervention, lotteries, etc.
Human genetic diversity doesn’t map on to American conceptions of race. Africa has among the highest levels of genetic and phenotypic variation of any region, for example. If anything, the reverse is true: clinging to 19th century pseudoscience and its bogus racial categories is an impediment to scientific understanding of biological reality.

Actually I’ve been reading about data for a couple of years now and evidently with this new technology, they can raise this lettuce is what they’re talking about first. They can raise this stuff so cheap, and I’ve been reading about it talking about putting it in and lettuce and mass medicate everybody, like they do with fluoride in the water. I mean, who could control the dose? If you’re if you eat a lot of lettuce, you’re gonna get a lot of mRNA if you don’t eat any won’t get any.

Free advertising on Haker News. 10 bucks net profit without any grows is also profitable. Getting to the main page of HN was worth open sourcing what had no potential anyway.

This is my reasoning, I'm not the creator of this.
I don't think that's as strong an argument as you're presenting it. If anything can exist, and if randomness can exist, it's simpler for a Boltzmann Brain to exist than for our actual universe to exist. The exact laws of physics that the Brain has imagined don't actually matter and they don't have to match the physics in the universe that created the Brain. (It doesn't have to be a literal human brain.)

TIL that researchers are working on edible vaccines.

> Edible vaccines are genetically modified crops that contain antigens for specific diseases. Edible vaccines offer many benefits over traditional vaccines, due to their lower manufacturing cost and a lack of negative side effects. However, there are limitations as edible vaccines are still new and developing. Further research will need to be done before they are ready for widespread human consumption. Edible vaccines are currently being developed for measles, cholera, foot and mouth disease, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.

This goes back to WWII. USA solves problems with manufacturing and money. Europeans relatively lack both, so they solve problems with their brains.
I think in the same way that the Congressional Budget Office is generally regarded as pretty neutral and trustworthy, and makes forecasts about legislation proposed by both parties in a way that is generally credible, perhaps we need an intelligence branch whose remit is just to gather info and do analysis on issues of geopolitical and security importance -- and _not_ to execute on any particular administration goals, support or undermine foreign governments, detain or transport prisoners, etc.

Retrospectively, it's easier to answer "Were they right in predicting X, about which more information has now come to light?" than to evaluate "Were they effective in pursuing administration goal Y with the information reasonably accessible at the time?" which involves a lot of messy counterfactuals.
What I like to ask about consciousness is to identify the step in the chain of organisms or matters where we jump from not having consciousness to having one.
>they do not find "insecure" servers to break into. They simply brute-force and exploit known bugs on popular services.

What exactly is the difference?
Ah maybe this is a case of my misusing the word "side effect". What I might have said instead is that the generation of ketones is coincidental with the effects of the diet. I'm hypothesizing that the microbiome mediates the changes, ketones or not.
Don't forget "food which will cause you to be susceptible to remote control via 5G networks"...
I had a funny thought when Anthropic was still a new startup. I was browsing their careers page and noticed:

1. They state upfront the salary expectations for all their positions
2. The salaries offered are quite high

and I immediately decided this was probably the company to bet on, just by virtue of them probably being able to attract and retain the best talent, and thus engineer the best product.

I contrasted it with so many startups I've seen and worked at that try their damnedest to underpay everyone, thus their engineers were mediocre and their product was built like trash.
Oh, I totally get that! The "AI style" that's becoming so ubiquitous looks awful to me (and tends to correlate with low quality writing as well). However, I think that's a problem of poor stylistic choice, rather than a problem inherent to AI.

The images from the article are what I had in mind. They're quite pleasing. The JetBrains blog is another example of AI hero images done well:

Streak | Remote Only | Staff Frontend Engineer

Streak (www.streak.com) is a CRM built on Gmail. We’re a *remote-first* team of 35 people across North America. We’re growing and very profitable, and we have customers that love our product. We’re currently in the goldilocks zone of having product market fit with real revenue but also a really flat hierarchy where you can ship fast.

We want to accelerate product delivery (there’s so much to build!) so we’re looking to bring on high agency and experienced frontend engineers to work on high impact product features / frontend infrastructure. We’re building a small, focused, high performing frontend engineering team that works directly with the CEO leading the product. To help build this great team, we offer incredibly competitive compensation (based on Bay Area bands) and some interesting benefits(https://www.streak.com/careers#benefits). We want you to do the best work of your career here, so you should expect high autonomy and ownership.

Lastly, we believe the traditional interview process isn’t well correlated with an engineers’ ability to ship product. Instead, our interview process mimics what it’s actually like to work here. It’s highly asynchronous, favors writing and involves building something useful. We think this will give you a really good insight into our team and company and of course lets us assess if you’ll thrive here.
Actually, its not tinfoil if its already been proven they have a history of this.

> that view is shit.

Do tell. I also have strong views about free will, but opposing views are worth more than an offhand dismissal.
Yeah, it looks wrong to me too. It claims to be GPLv3 and the "use cases" explainer looks like it's trying to clarify what GPLv3 means, but the requirements described under the use cases are not part of GPLv3.

The 1st one is fine. The 2nd one says you would need to open source your modifications, but that would only be true if you also distributed your version rather than just using it on the server side. The 3rd adds three conditions. The first and third are again only true if you are redistributing the software. The second is an attribution clause that is not part of GPLv3, and the page to me definitely reads like it's explaining the license but not actually a license itself. GPLv3 does allow adding in similar conditions, but probably not those: I'm not sure requiring a link to the original project is ok.

AGPLv3 would be a much closer match to what the author appears to intend. It allows adding the attribution requirements that the author wants; see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html section 7: "You may...supplement the terms...: (b) Requiring preservation of...author attribution..."

(IANAL, and every time I claim anything about licenses I get at least one detail wrong.)
Neat, are you able to handle threads/responses well even if the responder is not from gmail? I worked on a toy project and put together a library for myself over time that was harder to do then I expected due to the various email nuances: http://fraind.email, I noted what I think would make a reasonable email library/offering to simplify this here: http://fraind.email/augmAIl, the top ones were:
1. make it so you don't have to give every AI Agent access to your entire inbox, route only specific info to them for their specialty
2. easily track what they've done and "read"
3. easily transform email into the standard chat thread
4. add whitelists/blacklists/etc. to not respond to or send to the AI assistant

I think there's a lot to do in this space, I'll check out your code!
Congratulations on your game, and thanks for making the source available!

Then jkl; would make more sense, since it wouldn't require moving one's right hand from the home keys on a QWERTY keyboard. If I'm going to shift right anyway U for up, H for left, J for down, and K for right makes more sense (like arrow keys).
I have a fancy microwave that degrades my fancy bluetooth headset but not others. Did replacing the wifi card work? I'm wondering if I need to switch up my expensive microwave, or expensive headphone, because replacing bluetooth dongle (with another generic one with same chipset) hasn't resolved issue.
A user was having a really bizarre problem: They could log in when they were sitting down in a seat in front of the keyboard, but when they were standing in front of the keyboard, their password didn't work! The problem happened every time, so they called for support, who finally figured it out after watching them demonstrate the problem many times:

It turned out that some joker had rearranged the numbers keys on the keyboard, so they were ordered "0123456789" instead of "1234567890". And the user's password had a digit in it. When the user was sitting down comfortably in front of the keyboard, they looked at the screen while they touch-typed their password, and were able to log in. But when they were standing in front of the computer, they looked at the keyboard and pressed the numbers they saw, which were wrong!

Your statements are true, but please present this information with nuance. Yes you have an increased risk of cancer, but it's a small percentage and not a guarantee. Untreated bowel disease is guaranteed to have side effects, horrible QoL, and a much higher risk of cancer than medications.

Prednisone is the one exception though, unless life is completely unlivable or you have a significant chance of death (typically from perforation) I would avoid it.

Experienced software engineer (6+ years) and ML lead (2+ years) with a strong background in developing and deploying machine learning models, particularly in audio technology. I have led projects at a VC-funded startup, implemented scalable ML deployments, and contributed significantly to open source. My work spans various roles, including founding ML Engineer/ML Lead at okio Inc., Research Engineer at sea.ai, and Co-Founder/CTO of zackplan.com.
I hold a Master’s degree in Software Engineering and Internet Computing from TU Vienna. Currently looking for opportunities to leverage my expertise in machine learning and software development to create impactful technology solutions.
I think they mean that a bag of tobacco doesn’t make the room smell like an ashtray, but a bag of weed is excessively pungent even when wrapped and stashed.
So they should wait until after the food supply becomes contaminated, then study the problem for a few years and only then pass a law to regulate it?
I mean, banks, brokerages, credit cards all have asked for such information, and I don't trust them to not leak it (intentionally or not).

It's not KYC I mind as much as having to give them a residential address. I don't want that leaked across the internet. I hate giving out a residential address. The government can have it, I don't care so much about that, but private companies don't need to know where I sleep to know who I am.

What if some random sentence I say on the internet becomes the subject of a death threat? What if a startup I found becomes hated by a small group of armed individuals? I'm not a billionaire and don't have the $ for 24/7 security. I really don't anyone to be able to just look up where I sleep.

Social security number and some kind of ID number (license, passport) should really be more than enough for KYC purposes.

There's no right or wrong about it, only the march of history. Those who oppose it are having to come up with more and more contrived excuses. TFA talks specifically how the audience loves AI art if they don't know it's AI generated. It's mostly the carbon artists who seem outraged that it's now possible for somebody with a vision but not the skills to produce art that they can't compete with. And a few in the audience that really hate AI generated art seem to just want for there to be a meat bag with feelings involved, but not silicon beyond 90s level of Photoshop. It's not even a question of quality here, but a question of degree.
I didn’t like this article at all. Maybe I am missing something, but the thesis seems just too shallow, borderline pseudoscientific.

The main argument is “fine-tuning”: the fact that global constants in the universe are in an optimal state for existence of complex matter and, by extension, humanity. For me, the simplest explanation is the anthropic principle, or survivorship bias. If the constants weren’t optimal, we wouldn’t be able to make this observation.

The article barely touches this obvious explanation, and uses weak “multi-universe” theory. And refutes this strawman in a weird, in my opinion demagogic way (see for yourself).

Also: this line of thinking doesn’t refute creationism! The only argument against creationism was made against omnibenevolent god, so creationism was also strawmanned.

I regret that this article has gained so much attention on HN.
