Oh yes, I forgot about Lucretia, that was actually the only other one I know about. That makes two I guess.
Situational awareness requires extrapolation to the alarming side of plausible in order to prepare for it.

Perhaps the core prediction here is that AI will reach the capability of an AI engineer in just three years. If true, we might consider that to be the functional singularity, in the sense that extrapolations past that point have little relevant basis.

The problem is not info or misinfo but scarcity of attention.

Herbert Simon in 1971 - In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the Attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of Attention and a need to allocate that Attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.

The current global attention allocation system is biased towards the biggest attentions craving characters on the planet And those who can buy the most ads.

Everyone lies on interviews. Especially interviewers.
I am a little baffled by the idea that job satisfaction is comparative. Three days a week to do what one wants and needs to do is life enhancing for me, even if everyone else has it and retention is a function of happiness.

I mean, we don't need to act obtuse here in the name of pedantry. Commenter was clearly referring to occasional use for on-label indication.

"They are making 5nm chips but what about yields" Shouldn't that be for China to worry about ?

I mean ,if CCP is willing to subsidize 20 % yield rate , we should be happy that they are burning cash .

Funny thing is that I don't see the same energy and concern for Samsung's 40% yields on EUV nodes.

That seems a reasonable assumption.
Reminds me of my first time reading the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook when I was just getting into the live sound field. Read it again a year later after a lot of time in the trenches and the things that were gibberish at first now made complete sense.

To the OP, if you find something interesting but it's above your head dig in and you'll learn. Otherwise just smile and nod. I'm by no means a software engineer though I can (and do) write code to get various jobs done. Lots of stuff here is interesting to me but lots also is of no interest and/or way above my pay grade. I'm happy to be surrounded by stuff that has the potential to challenge me to grow.
This is like the supposed health benefits of drinking red wine. I don’t know if it’s true or not but it’s fun to find out.
The Cybershot is a point-and-shoot digital camera, not a phone. Though Android does still use the DCIM folder, that whole basic structure, for compatibility with things that are looking for photos on drives, SD cards, etc. I think Sony phones even still use the DSC filename prefix for their photos.

100% - React has won the FrontEnd wars. Anything else is great to love and to use in a hobby project, but if it's for a business, React is the one FrontEnd tech you can be confident people will still be using heavily in ten years.

Just compare the npm trends of react and $coolthing, then look at the number or active committers and the maintainer succession planning.
Your point seems to be that massive changes are required to achieve wings. I’m saying that’s not impossible and an acceptable modification to whoever wants to do this to themselves. As long as you can maintain the brain as is, I don’t see there being a problem with radically modifying the rest of the body.

Argentavis magnificens had a wingspan of around 24ft and weighed around 72 kgs or a 160lbs which is close to what an average human weighs.

If you compare growth rates to other mammals like elephants, I doubt a change like that would take much more than 5-10 years.

Honest question: do we need to believe one or the other ?

Or can we get away with "it depends" or "it works on some subjects and not on others"
What about the gamble that the whole thing is a scam from the beginning? If they are going to fight tooth and nail to never payout anyway its all insanity.

Also how could insurance ever be a "for profit" business? That could never work. Profit means straight up planning scam right from the beginning, hoping that a big enough payout triggers business failure and you dont have to pay out anyone, yippee free and clear rug pull
1. "Bad stuff" meaning what?

2. There's no such thing as increasing "the effect" of such a nonspecific chemical as nitrogen oxide. There's tons of effects, and it increases some of them. Also, can the active ingredient get into mitochondria?
> Does this trigger the FDIC to step in? Was Synapse FDIC insured or just the underlying banks?

Wouldn’t FDIC insurance only cover $250K in each bank account if the bank went under? In this case it’s the service people used to put money (or the service the service used) into those accounts that’s gone bust with poor or no record of where people’s money has gone.

> Or is synapse "shadow banking" gone wrong?

Yes! Remembering where and how much customer money has gone is regulated banking 101

Yes, if your galaxy is embedded in an infinite series of infinitely thin spherical shells of the appropriate positive and negative masses spaced infinitely close together, then you can make the rotation curve be anything you want it to be without adding any overall net mass.

Yeah where's that link? That sounds fun.
Yes, exactly. Or if you don't have a pi handy maybe a couple of docker images to marry SIMH and MAME talking to each other.
Through a mutual acquaintance, I met someone who did a little work for on the OTOF gene therapy and it really is remarkable stuff.

My wife and I had our embryos screened by Orchid Health since we have a related genetic condition: a pathogenic mutation in GJB-2. Amazingly, Decibel Therapeutics has has one of these in R&D and the OTOF success gives us hope. We have a few embryos that are affected and the more that can grow up healthy the more chances we'll have at children.

The technology itself is unbelievably futuristic: involving using a virus to deliver a repaired gene into existing cells.

This form of non-syndromic hearing loss may well be repaired two generations from now. An interesting thing is if you follow along with the literature, some Chinese labs report success with these gene therapies in kids on the cusp of teen age. That's remarkable. It will give a lot of people today the chance to have healthy kids in the future even if they were unfortunate enough to carry the genes today.

Personally, the fact that I can practically hold a whole genome sequence of our embryos on my computer means the future is here. Last time, I posted a few links for everyone interested in the subject https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40312242
Were you taking authentic or internet genetics from China/India?

Ive gone through a decent amount of generics over the years, from several sources, and even though the label is the same, they almost all act differently on me. Some give me a flushed red face. Some cause a dull headache. Some don't cause anything negative thank God. They all work though.

I think the Indian/Chinese ones are laced with garbage and what I feel depends on what else was in there.
That was a surprise.

But it is written like it is bad, but I see nothing wrong with what Coca Cola did here. It was "de-cocainized coca leaves" after all.

It’s almost certainly still good enough since it’s unlikely to be biased in ways that matter. Most hand shuffling methods have nasty biases as well.

For standard riffle shuffling, there is often a bias in pulling from the pile opposite from the last pulled card (so alternating pairs of left and right). The model saying “7 shuffles is sufficient” as people like to quote presumes you pull from a pile only proportional to the size of the pile (so you get many fewer alternating runs).
Game development is a lot more than programming. If someone is just making projects on their own, it really doesn't matter much if the code is "good" or not. You just gotta have a game that works.

If you want to get hired as programmer in AAA game development, then your job role starts to become more specialized as you move up, but that's true in a lot of environments. And jobs for AAA game development are admittedly competitive, so the more value your bring, the more likely you are to be hired. Sometimes that means being an uber elite coding ninja, but it also might mean that you are able to wear a lot of different hats, including skills that aren't programming.

Anyway, I just want to say that jumping "in with minimal programming experience and try to muddle their way through by watching tutorial videos and stuff" is awesome, actually, especially if your end goal is making games itself. Just do it!
It is being used off label all over the place for heart conditions. That’s why i take it. The on label use is actually pretty annoying for the first few months.
Given the opportunity, people will do anything else than have more than 2 children, which is the requirement to increase the population. There’s just better stuff to do than spend multiple years taking care of the baby. Any argument other than “for the greater good” won’t sound reasonable to educated population. Talking to my friends, especially women who already have a child, they keep mentioning the opportunity loss when you go through pregnancy and birth (career, vacations, personal growth and etc.). You can call it selfish, but it’s the reality and nobody wants to fall behind. Everything you mentioned is great, and I support it, but I doubt it’ll convince young people to sacrifice at the very minimum 6 years of their life (pregnancy + first year).
Bluesky doesn't even need to exist if being "open" means that every network will merge into the same Eternal September rather than remain something unique and independent.
agree, this is definitely describing something that is little talked about but very central to economics.

there is a book by the Gangs of New York author called Sucker's Progress: An Informal History of Gambling in America (1938). The relation between insurance and gambling used to be even more blurry. Even the terminology. The word "Policy" for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbers_game

Even the mathematical foundations of insurance (probability) derived from the study of gambling. The famous Bayesian statistics are described by Bayes based on the concept of pebbles coming out of a bag.

i feel that we do not discuss economics / gambling / insurance in detail because it is emotionally difficult.

"well but the house always wins in gambling"

and in insurance? how often does the house lose?
Does it need to be, though? You can survey healthy but senior populations about their habits, and then over the following years track what happens.

If medical records were public, the answers could even be in those for any medicines that are prescription based. You could then make statements like "A% of patients who took drug B within C years did/didn't develop disease D".
Best answered by asking the OP their position on lame jest Vs pompous arrogance I guess.

Might also ask their position on taking advice from those that cannot follow it.
Ignorance is the natural human state, and no one should feel ashamed of it. Everyone is ignorant of more things than they are not ignorant of.

Often feeling dumb/not understanding is just a product of not having the prerequisites for something. Basically all ideas and fields are accessible to people of modest intelligence with sufficient effort (and ability to pick one thing and stick with it). The ones that are not fill with charlatans. It can be boring to pay attention to technical details. There is no moral superiority in doing so.

When I've taught people who thought themselves to be dumb, I found that the negative self talk about being dumb was often rooted in either a feeling of guilt/badness or obligation, and the label of dumb solved the unhealthy feeling: "I'm just dumb, nothing I can do". This is even more pronounced in cases where there is some resource the person needs that they don't have, where trying harder causes worse performance, or where they feel obligated to because they think like their preferred activity is less valuable/lower status.

Realistically, it is necessary to pick how to spend your time, and math and programming without compensation are frankly a waste of time (if you are not enjoying it, finding fulfillment). As Satre said, we are condemned to be free - to chose what we specialize in, and what we skip, with no one to give us the correct choice.

If there are N things you could do, every time you do something, there are N-1 things you are not doing in that moment, which are way more than you will ever do.

I relate to the feeling. For me 'ex falso quod libet' - the idea mixing up truth and falsity once with collapse the foundation of everything I know is worse than any scary movie. The fear I'll forget faster than I learn, or that I'll never really understand. The yearning to understand the world, to know and not doubt.

If you are able to see some highly technical post you don't understand and then sleep soundly, you far wiser than I.
LLMs lower the bar for being correct.

You don't need to scrape sites if you dictate your truth.

Therefore read some psychology papers about how people create their realities. Then make stuff up; what gets believed is going to be mostly correct in your audience's reality, which should feed back into your model. The cost of getting stuff wrong is profit if you exploit it. Let your audience filter do it for you, and who are you to dictate what's correct for someone else anyway? Make it sound catchy and convincing for a variety of tastes. Generate a few short video creators with different personas like Street Fighter characters from yesteryear that viewers can project themselves on to.
Don't worry, I caught your innuendo.
Imagine we could, with the snap of a finger, come up with an AI tutor that is objectively better than human TAs. Better as in: between 2 groups of 10,000 students, those with AI tutors do better on perfomance metrics 95% of the time than those students with human tutors. Would you be opposed to replacing human tutors then?

If your answer is yes, (in some flavor of "protecting and helping the jobs of those who teach), I would argue your ethics are focused on the wrong group. Teaching is for students to learn, not for teachers to have jobs.

We don't have said technology yet, but it's reasonable to think we can get close. If there's a good chance to improve how well students can learn, I don't think "teachers don't appreciate it" is a good reason not to do it.
There are still a lot of companies using Angular and Vue. Especially some big institutions that started using AngularJS (pre-"Angular") years before React was really popular.
At some point they're going to realise that they need to make cluster of LLM AI's all trained in specialities.

Then they will pass "thoughts" to each other, back and forth to self check and verify before outputting.

It'll be called something like LPM (Large Philosopher Model). It'll end up chewing up more compute and power than the bloody blockchain, but It'll be really impressive and scare the crap out of Turing testers.
Peace of mind isn’t the reason. It’s leaving family stuff because you care about them.
Sounds like Signed Exact English, which is disliked both for the context around it and for being more awkward than a natural sign language (e.g I think it doesn’t take advantage of using positions in space for grammar, it only uses the hand shapes and movements?)

I don’t know of any language agnostic phonetic sign used as a first language for children: that sounds about as hard as making them learn through writing instead of talking.
I felt that way for the first year or two when I was first learning to code on here

A lot of the stuff written here deploys in-jokes, memes, jargon/shibboleths of various tech subcultures:

1. (Coastal) startups. Joining a YC startup and being surrounded by startup folks probably was the biggest factor in helping me to understand stuff here. At my first job, I picked up a broad mix of SV tribal knowledge, technical skills, stuff about finance & investing, Agile and scrum and kanban and standups, stats knowledge, + the cool-kid tech products used by this subculture ("what? you got paid with paychex? uhm. never heard of it. here we use gusto") -- it was essentially an immersion course in 70% of the stuff you see on the front page of this site

2. Free-software types. When I taught myself to code, I just stuck with Linux since I couldn't afford a macbook back then. I participated in various open source projects and learned emacs, which made a lot more stuff on here understandable (like I started understanding acronyms like rms and esr, trivia about weird Linux/Unix shit I've had to debug like pulseaudio and systemd and CUPS, secret longstanding wars among various factions within this subculture)

3. Academics. I went back to school and started doing research, and spent time learning about the weird CS-theory stuff that I find beautiful like abstract interpretation and programming language theory and functional programming. My research area is far away from that stuff, but having some awareness of it helps me recognize the topics when they pop up here

Also, keep in mind that the content on this site also tends to reflect specific technologies and practices that are common within these cultures. There's a definite skew towards web and data oriented tech, so it makes sense that as a game dev, much of it wouldn't be comprehensible since you don't have context for it.

It's also easy to forget if you mostly just get your tech news from this site, but most developers tend to work on Windows targeting Windows-oriented stacks (i.e. Azure, on-prem Windows servers, ASP.NET Core, Power BI, SQL Server, etc) rather than macbooks -- so I suspect much of what you see on the front page of this site that is tech related is foreign to most developers. In any case, I wouldn't feel too bad, and certainly not dumb for it
This is the part that people complain about, in that it can access RAM and other devices and communicate with the network, without the user's OS being able to be aware of it, I think.
I implemented this for GPUs back in college and you’re right, it’s really good for parallelism. This shuffle is also great if you want to do a completely unbiased shuffle with real cards. Fischer-Yates is impractical to do with a real deck of cards.
And any time the object of your study is also a treatment for ED it gets extra hard. ;-)
Semi-related, I was doing some reading about different cottage industries from antiquity and the feudal era and was wondering if a feudal-era simulator existed that included cottage industries as part of its core mechanics. I ended up finding that Manor Lords game later on which features this exact mechanic!

It's pretty amazing how much labor was done by women that was crucial to society. Beer, medicine, weaving, braiding, bowstringing, raising livestock, etc.

Last thing, there is a anecdote by Richard Feynman I think where he is in a room with his friend's wife who is crocheting. He explains to her that topologically, the knot she is making can be made six other ways. She goes "yes, the such-and-such and such-and-such knot. Do you crochet?". It's interesting how much knowledge humans were about to collect about the world before the scientific method.

There is a book "1000 Years of Women's work" that is on my reading list now but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Literally the second line of the page I linked to - sometimes I really need to learn to read.
No one understands everything here. When it comes to software development, everyone I know says they're only really knowledgeable about what they work on. Most other areas, they'll have at best some passing knowledge of. It's like how doctors become specialists in just one part of the human body. There's maybe 5 people in the world are are a qualified dermatologist, endocrinologist, neurologist, and cardiologist at the same time. It's the same thing with engineers.
What Tivo did was different to "Tivoization", Tivo allowed you to install the modified GPLed software (Linux), but then prevented the proprietary software that ran on top of Linux from running on modified Linux versions. What Tivo did is allowed by both GPLv2 and GPLv3 and "Tivoization" is banned by both GPLv2 and GPLv3.

Obviously: for a start, since there’s no genetic test for eugenicism, you’d have to wait and eliminate them as adults. They may have already reproduced by then, but there’s also no clear mechanism for inheritance so we don’t even know if that is a problem. If they adopted children do we consider those kids to have inherited it?
There’s nothing moral. It’s gambling either way.

The only confusion comes from people who bend over backwards to convince themselves they aren’t gambling because of weird “it’s a sin” morals that leak into their mind.

Betting against a company by shorting has no different moral component than betting on a company by investing. Either way you aren’t doing work and are taking risk to get a higher return.

Insurance products have different risk curves but they are still gambling. Someone can buy a ton of garbage houses, buy bunch of insurance, and just hope they burn down for the payout.
There’s a sudden market for a new flavor of bullshit, and brand-new bullshit providers have sprung up to fill the vacuum. But all the exec-webinar/thought-leader/hypetrain/pr stuff is a sideshow from people building actual value.
