at one point, the scientific belief was a heliocentric universe. until it wasn't after enough evidence was found to disprove it. even then, it took awhile to become accepted.

there's plenty of theories out there currently that at least we only consider them theory instead of accepted because nothing better came along. so at least we are not locking people up because they do/don't believe in string theory. at some point it will either be proven wrong/right, but there's no harm in letting people play with it working towards an answer.

What's meant by heuristics is some times unclear. I wonder if by heuristics you mean a shortcut. In CS and AI our model of a shortcut is the heuristic cost functions in heuristic search algorithms like A* and its variants.

It's interesting because I've thought along the following lines. A* is a pathfinding algorithm so it's a natural choice for path planning -the process of planning a path through some environment for an autonomous agent to follow. The funny thing is, as it turns out, pathfinding can be abstracted as finding a "path" through a graph: a set of nodes connected by edges; and that's a great abstraction for general task planning - the task of achieving any arbitrary objective - so A* is also widely used for task planning.

Well, isn't path planning an almost universal ability of intelligent animals? Most animals are motile for some part of their lives and they seem to use their intelligence at the very least to navigate their environment. So is it that far-fetched to think that an ancestral ability for path planning, essentially identical to a heuristic search algorithm like A*, evolved into general intelligence? And wouldn't that mean that general intelligence can be, ultimately, modeled as some kind of heuristic search?

The answer I think is: no, and that's a dangerous way to think. A model is a model, it's not the process it models. And I think that's my fundamental disagreement with lisper, disregarding my confusion about the meaning of "kinematics".
You end up with ~$2300 more per employee, assuming they all get paid the same and there are 20 of them. Which still isn't much.

FreeBSD-outerbase: Install a remote-unlockable system with encrypted root-on-ZFS
Thats great. The "I want to do everything on my phone" folk need to be told NO at some point. A somewhat cluttered but usable desktop interface cramped fully onto a tiny phone screen will have to much nested menu options to be able to discover things. I went into this dead end more often than I should have, wasted a lot of time until I finally started wondering what the hell I was thinking. The funniest was a long side menu next to a pdf. One could add all kinds of information and pick formatting and styling. On a phone you couldn't even see the pdf. Endless sub menus. Truly hilarious. I also one time build an advanced search interface with so many options it was.. uhh... completely unusable.

* Gaza is a semi-autonomous area

* local government in Gaza is much less LGBT-friendly than Israel's government.

* Israel has no intention of changing Gaza's semi-autonomous status.

But again my question is: given the above, how would an Israeli victory, no matter how complete, improve things for LGBT Palestinians?

This does not seem to depend on BLAS/LAPACK.

Good to see LU decomposition with full pivoting being implemented here (which is missing from BLAS/LAPACK). This gives a fast, numerically stable way to compute the rank of a matrix (with a basis of the kernel and image spaces). Details: https://www.heinrichhartmann.com/posts/2021-03-08-rank-decom....

Fixing Serverless with a $5 VPS
Clickbait headline for a zoho ad. It's not clear at all how much penetration they have in Africa. It's likely unmeasurable vs Google.
It's not covered in the article, but I wonder if inflation has much to do with this. Nigerian inflation in March was 33.2%, and is still trending upward[1]. Pricing in Naira moves some inflationary risk to Zoho, right? At the same time, if US-based competitors have priced their product in a constant amount of dollars, those products are now costing several times what they cost a few years ago.

(I have no idea about inflation in the other countries mentioned in the article, it just seemed odd to not mention it at all when they were discussing Nigerian companies)

This is a script I came across for setting up a remote-unlockable FreeBSD system with Full Disk Encryption that can be unlocked over SSH.

FDE in so far as the "inner system" is concerned, one should say. The "outer system" with the initial ssh daemon is not encrypted, as it needs to be able to boot without user input.

Their readme explains the problem it solves, and how it works:

> the problem

> If a server resides on encrypted media, it's difficult to unlock it remotely after a reboot. When a fully encrypted system boots, it usually sits and waits for a passphrase to be entered long before the network is ready to allow a remote connection.

> Common solutions include virtualization, the serial console (traditional or through a DIY server), IPMI and friends, or IP-KVM hardware (expensive traditional or low-cost DIY).

> outer base solution

> This solution builds upon two previous implementations of the following idea: an unencrypted barebones system (the outer base) boots and accepts incoming SSH connections. Over SSH, the encrypted system can be unlocked. Then, FreeBSD's reboot -r command is used to reboot (more precisely: re-root the kernel) into the unlocked system (the inner base)
Yes. Thats what they’re doing. The bright line company are mostly real

Sorry, that was a bit steam of consciousness. The first point was just something I thought was interesting and surprising. Didn’t have much to do with my conclusion that locking them up seems fine.

There's a big fucking difference between people who want to regulate AI because they might become a doomsday terminator paperclip factory (the register-model-with-government-if-they-are-too-big-crowd) and the folks who want to prevent AI being used to indirectly discriminate in hiring and immigration.
I believe the idea is you replace individuals who solely manage across the board, with the idea management is really a part time job. That so many executives split their time would suggest that might very well be the case. With that in mind, there are many efficiencies imaginable beyond just the C-suite. And the employees now have ownership, so they have more of a reason to take up more responsibility than the current environment where employees are increasingly detached from their work, for good reason.
Or maybe not murder the consular corps of the other country in a different country? Against all international covenants of treating consulates as part of the nation?

Besides, this country has nukes on its own, and the largest military on its side.

It is strange to portray that there is no other way other than the so called pre emptive strikes. Guess that's what accepted as the default doctrine, if its entire existence is that of an overgrown colonial military outpost.

Really tempting price/performance, and I love the idea of getting away from questionable switch vendor OSes.

How disruptive are switch config changes? If I edit /etc/network/interfaces to add a new port, vlan, etc - does a `systemctl restart networking` (or whatever equivalent) bounce ports or halt switching for a moment while changes are applied?
I went through a generation of people saying to "Eat Healthy" and recommending various odd stuff like just eating carrots or only meat. In the end I've found that the best solution has been to stop eating. If I eat anything, I'll want to eat more. Time restriction seems to be the best option of a lot of horrible options.

Our food is just way too palatable right now. Even the fruits and veggies have been bred to be full of sugar.

32-bit CPU is not a good example because it's obsolete in a realistic sense, not by some artificial requirement. It doesn't support enough RAM not to choke when few browser tabs are opened. Perhaps sadly that modern web page requires that much RAM, but that doesn't mean it's not true.
At one former gig we pulled telemetry from devs machines and lo and behold - the biggest complainers ran the pipeline twice a week or something. At this point i am convinced surveys is the worst way to go about “measuring” productivity.

Liberals are trying to ban books too.

"Education", as you have used it, is a measure of collegiate accomplishment, not of merited learned-ness.

It correlates more with socio-economic class.

The same argument can easily be made about Democrats and their inability to repair trivial household items, or empathize with those outside of their privileged groups.

You just pick a characteristic and then label it "good" measure of [x]. Ironically the same thought process is too blame for "telling too many people to goto college"

The lack of self-agency, accountability, and ability to empathize on the left is astounding.
This is not very realistic. Just don’t buy iot stuff at that point.

Life can be ridiculous at times, and it gets even worse when you have a cheating spouse. Thanks to a friend who introduced me to a sophisticated hacker who assisted me in obtaining all secret files that my husband had been hiding for several years of our marriage. He assisted in hacking and gaining access to my cheating husband’s icloud, social media networks, call log and spy call recording, monitoring SMS text messages remotely, cell phone GPS location tracking, spying on WhatsApp Messages, gmail, and kik, and I discovered he had done me dirty. The hacker is discrete and proactive in his work; you can reach him at hackrontech @gmail com. You won’t be sorry if you give him a shot today

Why would you ever do that?

If you have the high res data you can actually compress the details which are there and then recreate them. No need to have those be recreated, when you actually have them.

Downscaling the images and then upscaling them is pure insanity when the high res images are available.

fwiw this seems to be partially in place already.

Requests for access to files, location, mic, and camera usually give me the option of allowing them all of the time or only when the app is open.

True, but Apple specifically in my case was abhorrently indifferent to the consequences and their support structure is entirely unable to help you. If you have a dedicated storage provider, you lose their single service only. With Apple, you lose everything you have attached to your account which carries a much higher risk.

I hope this doesn't come off as a shallow dismissal, because I'm sure you have good intentions and you've obviously put a lot of thought into this.

But on a gut level, it sounds like you're trying to pass off a heaping spoonful of marketing doublespeak here.

In particular, the terms "emotional support" and "trusted companion" and "compassionate" are inherently misleading when used to describe these tools. And to characterize them as such is potentially quite harmful to people facing a serious mental health crisis. Worse, you say "it isn't here to replace the irreplaceable" but when you use such terminology you are implicitly conveying the impression that these tools will do exactly that.

Drop those and similar terms from your promotional materials, please. "A preliminary step toward self-awareness" sounds infinitely more plausible.
OK. Let's assume that the rest of the C-suite combines to give that number a solid 5x multiplier. How accurate that is is left as an exercise to the reader, but be aware that the CEO is almost always the highest-paid member of a C-suite.

That would turn $116 into $580 per year. Spread out, that would be approximately $22.30 per paycheck if biweekly, or $24.16 if twice a month. All before taxes, of course. Real life-changing money for hundreds of thousands of people, right?

The point here is not that spreading the money from the C-suite to the workers is in any way a bad idea. The point is that it doesn't go nearly as far as we might like to think. We might want to adjust our policy preferences and goals to reflect reality instead of dreaming of us all dining endlessly on the the fat of the C-suite.

Oh, and here's a reference for C-suite comp at JP Morgan Chase. Reliability unknown, but if accurate it means my assumption of a 5x multiplier is overly generous: https://www1.salary.com/JPMORGAN-CHASE-and-CO-Executive-Sala...

Show HN: Glasskube – The new Kubernetes Package Manager is now in Beta
Hey there! We are excited to introduce the Beta version of Glasskube, the Open Source next generation Package Manager for Kubernetes. If you're familiar with working in a Kubernetes environment, you understand the challenges of managing third-party packages crucial for running your clusters and the applications within them. Current installation methods often lack simple package configuration, are difficult to upgrade, and don't support multi-namespace dependencies.

We're eager to get Glasskube into your hands and hear your thoughts. The best way to get started is by visiting our GitHub repository where you'll find all the information you need to dive in quickly. We're also super thankful for any feedback you can provide in the comments below.
Bad LSD is still a thing unfortunately. You can test a batch for purity now, though.

I think what Evans did actually violated set and setting, but it's possible this article is just poorly framed. He did enough LSD on his first trip in a packed club to experience depersonalization. To me a review of set and setting would've told me three of those things are a bad idea. He later then went to do a drug like Ayahuasca in a foreign country under a cultural practice he likely didn't appreciate. Again, things set and setting would tell me are likely not a good idea - at the very least that I should build up to. For the unfamiliar, I view both things he did like climbing Mt Hood and Mt Everest as an amateur with barely adequate gear.

I think he should continue to tell his stories, maybe even post them to Erowid or the Psychonaut wiki where there are similar warnings. That said, I'm not super convinced he's challenged the theory of set and setting.

That's a bastardized interpretation of what socialism is.

Socialism is defined by social ownership. The society as a whole owns production, rather than individuals or groups.

A coop is a just group that divides up ownership among all the workers, not the society/community. The division isn't necessarily even. And the workers don't necessarily have 100% ownership between them. For example, there are coops with publicly traded stock.

A coop can be, and often is, still privately owned.

If you're definition of socialism is "Workers owning means of production" (which by the way, is not and never has been the definition), then every FAANG is a socialist entity for awarding their employees shares.
It's also for live traffic.
Population density and urbanization is not equally distributed, the Eastern half of the US has a population density on par with Europe since a huge majority of Americans live there.

You are also starting from the assumption that higher population density is better for high speed rail, which is easily countered with my previous point. An argument could be made that, practically, high speed rail is really better suited to places with low population densities centered around urban areas... like the unpopulated parts of the US West.

HSR is expensive and requires high degrees of funding and coordination. In other words there has to be a strong political and cultural will behind it, so yeah, it stands to reason that the US doesn't want it since they certainly have the money to do it if they want. Maybe there is a culture around forms of transportation that is particular to the US...
Nvidia's footprint is more specific and obtuse than the other FAANG+s, so I expect they'll have an easier time with acquisition regulatory approval on the edges of their business model.

If they wanted to acquire an ML chip company, sure, but I/P/SaaS value adds will probably sail through.
The "different dimension" is the mentality and unaccountability of the police themselves, not that the average citizen is able to carry a gun. ShotSpotter is like crack to police, as it gives them an escalation pretext of "shots fired" before they even show up to a scene.

It just depends on what you use for management.

IIRC the /etc/network/interfaces does a reconfiguration that's pretty disruptive.

Things like brctl and ethtool worked on the fly without issues (note though that I mostly used Arista years ago).

It is usually non-disruptive if it gets applied as deltas. If your config tool does a teardown/recreate then that's disruptive. Within the bounds of ethernet and routing protocols (OSPF DR/DBR changes are disruptive, STP can be fun, ....).
