I guess it's an answer to Jensen Huang? He certainly has reasons to oversell AI, but he was talking about teaching kids at school programming - which never made sense IMO. Even if you want everyone of them to become professional programmers, better give more hours to math and sciences.

As of AGI, if it comes, everyone apart from the owner class is equally doomed, so you are not missing anything if you learn profession you like, including if it is programming.
I'm not sure I agree. a lot of twitch, YouTube, onlyfans, and more is built on parasocial relationships. Those people are people though. They can't be online all the time, they'll grow and change over time, and they might not be exactly perfect.

AI girlfriends by contrast don't have those issues and can "work" for far less.

Besides if we're willing to move the goalposts a bit and look beyond romance, there are a lot of lonely people who are already in the market for someone to talk to.
I agree. But this is just out of curiosity, what about jobs that don't have repetitive tasks and don't feel like coding, after you've spent enough time on coding. For example, business manager.

I dont like the saying, "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"

It's not really possible. If 2 people are in a room and 1 is a physics expert and the other is chemistry. Who is essentially "smarter?"

What if 1 person is a psychology expert and the other is a motorcycle maintenance expert? How about US army firearm ballistics expert and fine art expert?

Essentially the 'judgement' on who is smarter is far too subjective. Instead, you should work towards always proving you're not the smartest person in the room. Talk to people to find out things that you dont know about and perhaps you are Einstein in your field, there's always someone who knows a great deal about other subjects.
Presumably lawyers can figure that out. That's what they were hired for in the first place.
> And I agree with you that younger generations, probably at large due to social media, are not patient enough to get rich by saving.

Speaking as someone in a younger generation, there's a sense that with the climate sword of Damocles dangling overhead and countless people stressing the already fraying hair, perhaps we may not have sufficient time to accumulate any sort of wealth by saving. Perhaps this is just a lack of patience in our generation, but I think it's quite possible there are bigger factors at play.
By only allowing it to be on the PATH when you’re in a specific folder (eg. The binary only ever lives in project/bin, not $user/.shared/bin) and by making the binary filename have a prefix (eg. project-git) so you can’t possibly invoke it when expecting to call a normal cli command (eg git).

Since cargo manages these installs, both would be trivial for it to do; just inconvenient for cli app authors.
almost the same as being the most arrogant and full of shit one :)
Maybe add to the headline when it’s not in mice, much less work.
Good luck! They have some really great tutorials on how to get started with BQ and geospatial data. One other nuance of BigQuery that doesn't seem to apply to many other tools in this space is that you can enable partitioning on your tables in addition to clustering on the geometry (Geography in BQ) column.

I'm guessing the headline came from this snippet:

> When the researchers tested this strategy with a mouse virus called Nodamura, they did it with mutant mice lacking T and B cells. With one vaccine injection, they found the mice were protected from a lethal dose of the unmodified virus for at least 90 days. Note that some studies show nine mouse days are roughly equivalent to one human year.

So assuming you can extrapolate to human timescales, it would be booster every 10 years. I also doubt it will be effective that long. Would have been nice for them to mention how long normal vaccines remain effective in mice.

Yes, simply because the risk of addiction is higher with sport betting than handbags.

You could easily rephrase this as "It's just entertainment. Is blowing $100 on heroin really any worse than $500 on a designer handbag?" to illustrate the absurd case where this is obviously true.

When you put your data on a third party host, you can basically kiss it goodbye -- "trusting" that host means you have to trust every single employee in it.

For the peace of mind, I'd even pay more -- but it's significantly cheaper in the long run to self host since those 'cheap shared-resource' virtual servers are always oversold.

But to each his own.
I call it "Wake building" basically building a business in the wake of a new giant. Amazon was building AWS for itself and for businesses like it. It was inventing cloud services, and it was always going to be complex and expensive. The rest of the industry didn't seem particular bothered to go run behind them, so we did. It was a fine enough strategy I think, the only people I really ever felt I needed to be careful of were Linode and Joyent, so I kept a sharp eye on them, but otherwise yeah, no much to do but listen to how SMB devs didn't want to consume AWS services and build them in a way they did. These days it seems like Matthew and Michelle over at cloudflare have picked that mission up and are doing an amazing job at it, so kudos to that team for sure! :)
Let me also share my weird bug. Back then, I was connecting my CRT TV via an S-Video cable to my PC's video card, as a secondary monitor. I noticed one day that the GPU fan is spinning slowly, even when the computer is turned off, or even weirder, when unplugged! So, the investigation began, and I concluded that when I connect the TV, the fan gets spinning.

No issues while working whatsoever, just this little quirk.

To me, the headline makes too strong of a claim to be backed up by such a weak statement - "some studies," "roughly equivalent," etc. Some studies show lots of things which you'd do well not to base any actions on.
Frankly I think for long term hoarding BQ is hard to beat. The storage costs are pretty reasonable and you never pay for compute until you actually run a query, so if you're mostly just hoarding, well, you're probably going to save a lot of time, money, and effort in the long run.
There are other adventure games but without such established names behind them. So hardly anyone knows about them.

The explanation could be a combination of experience, details, survivor bias and true scottman.

That is with experience you can select something on the ocean far away that you can track (kelp, etc), with experience and focus to accurately track it and take into account its own movement. Then the method is obviously only promoted by those who successfully survived using it, as the potential nay-sayers who used it and failed are no longer there to give a counter-point. Finally, those who did not use it successfully are probably characterized as "not good navigators", in circular logic.
Well, it's in mice first of all. And it has nothing to do with the mRNA vaccines that are popular right now. Here's how it works in layman's terms:

The "vaccine" is really a dose of a mutant virus that is the same as the virus you are supposedly infected with, with one key difference: this mutant virus is unable to fight off your body's immune system. But, like the original virus, it still triggers your immune system (to make RNAi). So, the vaccine (the mutant virus), replicates in your body and infects you, as the original virus is infecting you. Your immune system responds (the RNAi), doubly so, since it is seeing not only the original virus but also the mutant virus, and this double-size (not really double but the idea is..."more", "stronger") immune response is enough to knock out the original virus

There's so much gray area because some people desperately wants porn banned than abuses and harms punished, and clarifying gray areas all the way removes side effects on purely generative porn.

Personally I think head-swap porns should be handled with defamation logic than general anti-porn laws. I find it more likely that I would be disgusted by deepfake porn of mine if I were to become such public figure that warrants it, than appreciating it, but it feels weirder that local police would be deciding whether am I to like it or not.

Of all the things to be upset about here, this should be low on the list.

Microsoft Office documents haven't been proprietary for a long time. The formats are publicly-documented and Microsoft maintains open-source libraries that read/write them.

They're all XML-based and unobfuscated (beyond their convoluted design).

There are also many FOSS applications, including LibreOffice, that are perfectly fine as replacements for Microsoft Office.

Proprietary formats are a problem, but not with Microsoft Office anymore.

So we dont know anything about his math/theorem generation process. By his own admission he saw visions of math/theorem god, which is a BS claim since god doesn't exist. So "god whispered theorems in my sleep" is just a proxy for "I coped it from someone". Many of his so called theorems are false (by Hardy's own admission). Lot of progress in math depends on the "process", not just the end result. But he shares nothing about the process.
On HN it has been fascinating to watch the rise of "line go up" financial vehicles. It seems that the appetite for such things as NFTs, shitcoins, meme stocks, etc is nearly insatiable.

This article nails down some things about this phenomenon - at least concretely identifying the demographics - but it doesn't really give any satisfying answers or propose any solutions.

We've made it so easy for people with addictive personalities to click "gamble" that it's unsurprising to see it on the rise. With stuff like crypto we've normalized - even glamorized - the behaviors. Gambling is "useless" in an economic sense - it doesn't create any real value, it only provides "entertainment."

The problem is that not every gambler is going to be entertained, especially if they light a bunch of money on fire and suffer real negative economic consequences. It seems like we should be doing something to mitigate this...

It’s not really, though, is it? It’s similar to things like death threats: creating a picture of someone getting killed is not illegal, but using it in a coercitive way very much is. It’s not a completely different thing just because it involves boobs. Harm is not done when the file is created, it’s done when it is spread maliciously to bully someone, and that’s where prosecution should be focused.

The fact that a representation of a thing itself is illegal is quite backwards and ought to be at least seriously debated more seriously than in the moral panic we have now. Otherwise, we’re back to punishing people for their creations, whether that would be ideas, writings, paintings, or digital files, just because some people do not like it.
Yeah I was about to post that. The TLDR is that it's similar but that's more of a coincidence than a causative relationship. The one thing I knew was that the railway gauges in the UK were not standardized for some time meaning the supposed roman chariot cause wasn't true.
I was aware, but not how far they have come already, thanks for heads up.
The whole process in the UK has been hugely simplified by the combination of no fault divorce, and separating the ending of the marriage from the financial and child cases. That is what makes the online process work so easily.

It means if you do not have a lot of assets you can settle financial things between you informally, or you can make an agreement and ask the court to make it binding. We did not have much in the way of assets and I (the higher earner) was going to take care of the child I just gave her a some money when she moved out and we left it at that. NO case over who the child would live with either (as it was pretty obvious).

I've found that you only suffer from this mental frustration / burnout when you are writing software under time pressure and you have a boss. It's not true for hobby projects where you can take your time, lovingly sand and polish your project. Leisurely iron out every compiler warning. Run static analysis over and over finding every last imperfection. When I wrote software for a living, I was just fighting frustrating tools and barely churning out crap as fast as I could. Now, I'm making beautiful artwork. And the best part is I don't release any of it, so there's also zero pressure from users.
I would note that I think the above is a rather minority opinion - while parameterized queries are great for reuse simply using them to guard against SQL injection is still an excellent use of them. If your query is reusable then go for it, but most complex queries tend not to be reusable if they involve optional inputs.
For me, the right concept would be that rather than pay every website I want to go to $10, $20 or even $50 / month for the at most 3 articles that I would read that I would have an add on in my browser that would pay a fraction of a penny to each website I visit.

Then it would be up to me. Do I want to put $10/month into browsing the internet without paywalls? Sure, fine, then I get an ad or two but I would have access.

Add a little more, fewer ads, better experience.

Then at the end of each month, the wallet extension empties and is split evenly among the websites I visited.

This would probably not work for high cost high bandwidth streaming sites like netflix, but for all of these piddly new sites that would bolster their income dramatically and allow them to stop fiddling with the stupid paywalls and trying to force every person who visits their site to pay them money to read their mostly poorly written and generally completely worthless text while being bombarded with ads and auto playing news videos about today's latest tragic political intrigue.
That is a very cool setup!

My org would never allow that as we're in a highly regulated and security conscious space.

Totally agree about the BQ costs. The free tier is great and I think pretty generous, but if you're not very careful with enforcing table creation only with partitioning and clustering as much as possible, and don't enforce some training for devs on how to deal with columnar DB's if they're not familiar, the bills can get pretty crazy quickly.
It's basically a really well implemented Newtonian physics based platformer in a deterministic universe on a time loop that resets (22 minutes), so the loop is basically figure out how to get some place and then execute it (i.e. you could decide you want to de-orbit the moon into its planet, practice it, and get it right). Timing also matters as the celestial bodies orbit around and some of them fall apart.

So maybe it's less frustrating if considered like "a Mario level that's supposed to be difficult"

I think you'd have to be a bit of an expert to understand these results, just because of words like 'intelligence', that could mean anything, really, and I think accounting for 20% of the 50% heritability of intelligence is not exactly blowing the question out of the water.

All the same, I guess I am out of date (in 2017, they were getting 1% - perhaps in 2030, they will be up to 50%? Or back down to 2%?)

In general, I don't think there's any problem with saying some traits we call intelligence are heritable and that has a genetic component. I'm less sympathetic to the idea that intelligence is a simple scalar (the Q in IQ) or a quantity that should be used to prejudge candidates for given technical or social tasks. I mean, if somebody is good, does it matter that they are dumb as hell? I certainly would rather a talented dumbass than a useless genius as a coworker.

mRNA vaccines aren't really modifying genes or changing expression in the way CRISPR or RNAi can.

Given the reaction to even the most basic deployment of a new technique, I doubt there will be mass adoption of more complex technique that alter gene expression any time soon.

However, these tools are too powerful to ignore. The most likely outcome is that these tools will be approved to cure rare diseases (CRISPR is already approved for sickle cell for example). A few decades of use will help ease anxiety about their use and safety.
oh, that makes sense. it just means the packaging hasn't been taken as far as it can go. once a project is set up for packaging using something like `cargo`, that means it will be that much easier for someone (anyone) to take it one step further and package it in higher-level package managers like `apt` or `dnf` on top. or `snap` or `flatpak`. or a nix/arch recipe.
>You could ruin someones life quite easily with deep fakes, but not with your lewd poetry or sketches. So it seems reasonable to me to ban these with a blanket ban.
