Generally trains do everything they can to avoid slipping. They have anti-lock breaks and traction control just like your car, and stuff your car doesn’t have, like “sanders” which pour sand onto the track just in front of the wheels.

Regardless of material, dynamic friction is always lower than static friction. So for maximum acceleration and breaking it’s important to ensure you wheels stay in “rolling” mode of interaction, and don’t slip.

> The theory goes - that if the model "understands" this scenario, then internally, it has has created something that models the real world.

But this is merely a definition of what it means to "understand" something.

For example just tabulating many input/output combinations would not follow this definition.
'Compromise' paints an idealistic picture, its often just a euphemism for 'the more powerful/entrenched party gets what they want by default, but they'll let the other side vocally express their frustration to maintain the veneer of an actual conversation.' What you're describing sounds like a top-down restructuring of the internet at large, which is a golden opportunity for any interested party to restructure it in their favor. Whoever has the means will do so, and it will not be motivated by public interest since the public are not the ones with the means. When I hear "an internet that works in support of a credible, pragmatic definition of the common good", to me that translates to "we're going to turn the surveillance up to 11 and ban encryption to combat CSAM", because that's how such projects pan out in reality
Wow, like my sibling poster, I've never seen this and it adds so much context completely changing my perspective of the original comment.
Many of the most dangerous threat actors simply don't care about getting caught. They are operated, financed and protected by nation states, and/or operate from geopolitical locations where law enforcement is lacking.
Separate accounts, with a joint accounts that we deposit money into each month for bills, mortgage payment etc. Day to day spending like groceries etc. we each spend our 'own' money and just eyeball it so that we roughly do the same amount of food shopping, fill up the car every other time etc. Larger one-off expenses we split on a case by case basis. We both have our own savings, investments and pensions saving etc, that we manage separately.

We have occasionally talked about having more joint finances, but we've been doing like this for 20 years now, and for us it is by far the simplest solution.

Someone else already mentioned Autism and ADHD, possibly a combination. Those would be my first guesses. Another one is potentially migraines. They aren't always "a bad headache" as they tend to be portrayed but can run the gamut of symptoms. From nausea, to sound/light sensitivity, to temporary blindness, or actual pain.

Definitely sounds like something you'll want to investigate with a doc, assuming you have access to one. Biggest thing is if possible, shop around until you find someone who actually seems interested in what you're experiencing and doesn't dismiss your symptoms.

Usually, "cheapest" and "best" don't go together, but if you're wanting the "most best" with the "most cheapest", Azure App Services work great for us. I don't know if it's the "cheapest", but it's mostly "set it and forget it". The integration with DevOps release pipelines also makes it a breeze to deploy. It's seamless from Visual Studio to DevOps to staging App Service to Production.
I don't see increasing demand for nuclear power as a disadvantage. We have nuclear material that can last humanity 1000s of years at least. The CO2 footprint is an issue but nuclear is much better than others. Personally, I think it's better we utilize more energy and discover new breakthroughs while society is relatively stable and functioning, because there's no guarantee that it will last. Population collapse seems imminent in more educated societies, even China and India are trending this way now. Without some level of AI assistance, humanity would likely lose a great deal of productive output.

Also, if this path to AGI does not work out, its not as though the nuclear reactors will be wasted. People will find something else to do with the energy.

That's the result of the advertising department desperately wanting to track you for their metrics.

> Each one of those is a whole new screen. On a 40”-ish monitor! It is insane, and could easily be one screen with a couple of options.

This was most likely the result of some UI designer fearing that they would scare away too many folks with choice fatigue if they put all the options on a single screen all at once.

Sadly they forgot to add a button for "I'm a technically adept user who would like a single screen with all options please" to let those of us who would not be scared away by that complexity select that version as an option.
> The earlier you sample the cursor position and update the cursor plane, the more the position is out of date once the next scanout comes around, increasing the perceived input delay.

No, the cursor position is more up-to-date than the rest of the screen because it doesn't need to wait for a GPU pipeline to finish after it's moved.

> Unless Microsoft is doing something weird, this should be extremely fast. <1ms fast.

Look, I'm saying this is what's going on. (not to scale)

... | vsync ...
... | cursor updated for frame 0 ...
... | frame 0 scanout ...
... | frame 1 ready ...
... | vsync ...
... | cursor updated for frame 1 ...
... | frame 1 scanout ...
... | frame 2 ready ...

Frames are extremely fast to render, but they arrive the frame after they were originally scheduled, because GPU pipelines are asynchronous. However, the cursor position arrives immediately because the position of the hardware layer can be synchronously updated immediately before scanout. The effect is that updates to the cursor position are (essentially) displayed 1 frame sooner than updates to the rest of the screen. If you actually try any of the tests I mentioned in my original comment you'll see this for yourself.
They look alike to me. I'm sorry that I am not you, and cannot perceive reality the same way that you do. Really open-minded of you to think like this, really.

I was trying to explain the relayed subjective experience there. The relayed subjective experience is a discontinuity occurring that's similar to waking up. The self is the thing that relays the experience to other people. You're probably right that consciousness in some expansive sense didn't go away, but that's not what I was referring to. I was referring to what it was like to be the part of my friend that relayed the story to me.

This reminds of me a funny/annoying thing I had happen to me.

A few years back, I bought a Dell laptop that was under their "workstation" line. Dell Precision 7520. The default config when ordering these was had a power-hungry nVidia GPU on a dedicated card. I customized the laptop upon ordering to remove the GPU since I wasn't going to be doing anything that needed a GPU. (I just wanted lots of ports, a nice keyboard, and a touchpad with three buttons. Thinkpad was not an option at the time for reasons.)

Unfortunately, the 7520 firmware was hardcoded with power requirements for a fully-loaded system. It came with a big 180-watt brick. I knew that the laptop wasn't going to need that much power, so I would occasionally use a 90W Dell power brick that I had laying around. I turned off the boot-time warning about an undersized power brick, reasoning that if the battery started draining while plugged in, then I would give up and switch to the bigger brick. The battery never drained.

What did happen, though, is that sometimes I would notice that certain UI things were really, really slow. I always ran a lightweight Linux desktop on the laptop, so generally the web browser was the only thing that would cause any serious CPU or memory usage. For the longest time, I just put up with the occasional slowness on big heavy drunk-with-UX-power websites.

Eventually, I got to wondering what was wrong with this laptop that made it _feel_ so much slower _sometimes_ than any other Linux system I dealt with on a daily basis. One day, after working on the couch for a bit in the morning (on battery), I went back to my desk and plugged into the AC and noticed that Slack got _very_ slow. And so did a few other things. Undock the laptop, and things were fast again. Huh, I thought. That's weird. Nothing in the kernel logs or system journal but when I happened to look at the CPU, I saw it was reporting as an 800 MHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ! Okay, that's not right!

It turns out that Dell hard-coded the firmware to throttle the CPU when a lower-than-expected wattage power brick was used. Even in configurations where that wasn't necessary or made sense. This is silly. I would have much rather had my battery start discharging if the power became an issue, than to silently throttle the CPU. (It's very common to monitor the battery! Not the CPU frequency!) (And no, the firmware warning message that I disabled didn't say that it would underclock the CPU if a lower-spec power brick was used. Just that it might lead to system instability or discharging the battery, or something to that effect.)

Anyway, there is a command you can run in Linux to force the CPU back to full speed. Once I did that, I never had any problems afterward.
For what question? What is it evidence of exactly?

E.g. It doesn’t tell you what sama had for breakfast.
My point is not that the western world doesn’t do good things. The parent commenter wanted to dismiss nuclear innovation in China as being the result of totalitarianism and oppression rather than ingenuity and innovation, which I think is a bad line of thinking.

It begs the question that if liberalism is incompatible with doing great things, then why commit to it? I don’t believe it is, but falling back on excuses like that just seeds doubt in our true competency.

Pretending like China can’t do good things because of some preconceived notion that they are evil, and failing to admit that China actually is outclassing us in many things and that we can do better, is a great way to let that world order crumble.
Apologies in advance for the slightly off-topic comment, but does anybody else find the name "Futhark" a bit.. erm... I dunno, "off-putting" for lack of a better term? What I mean is, I don't work with the language or anything, so it's never "top of mind" for me. And every time I see it show up on HN (or whatever) for some reason when I see that name something "pattern matches" and makes me think it's some eso-lang ala INTERCAL, Befunge, Malbolge, etc. It's only if I click through on the link and do some reading that I'm reminded that "Oh, this is something serious."

Probably it's just a me thing, but I'd be curious to know if anybody else experiences this with regards to Futhark.
We live in a finite world, with finite resources, and particularly finite space.

Take a look at the massive population increase especially in some countries in 50 to 100 years, even ones without huge amounts of land..population density has skyrocketed vs historical norms. It is no wonder that eventually this puts pressure on birth rates, and some of the lowest birth rates are found in places with some of the highest population densities.

Cost of living and real estate has risen, and it will be a good thing for this to reverse or slow. And some foolish leaders want to short circuit this natural correction by importing new people to compete with local citizens for real estate and resources. Not smart. It will only depress domestic birth rates further.

I left my job, thinking I can get going with freelancing, and build my saas ideas in the freetime.

Chasing new clients, writing blog content, answering to clients, networking etc.

I searched on HN and see a lot of commenting that freelancing might be a bad path if you want to have a SaaS company.

> the less syntax I have to remember, the better

Part of my point is that parenthetical languages don't actually have that much less syntax. You have to remember one of these two syntaxes:

let x = 1;
let y = 2;
do_stuff

(let
((x 1)
(y 2))
do_stuff)

Now you say that there's a lot more possible variation in the first case; it could be:

let x = 1; # Rust
var x = 1; # JS
x=1 # bash

And I point out that there's a lot of possible variation in the second case too:

(define x 1) (define x 2) do_stuff
(let (x 1) (y 2) do_stuff)
(let x 1 (let y 2 do_stuff))

There is less syntax with parens. But it's not zero syntax, and you still need to memorize it.

I was not talking about false equivalence about their economic status; I was talking about falsely equating or 'whatabout-ing' their human rights status.

And if you think that polls of life satisfaction are meaningful among a population who are forbidden to criticize their govt except in limited ways (e.g., local officials), I'd like to talk about some fantastic oceanfront land in Kansas...

Economy? Of course people are happier to have a change from abject poverty, but it is entirely based on unfair export trade practices and highly leveraged investments both official and shadow-banking. At this point both are extremely fragile as the democracies start to catch on and the over-leverage starts to work against it. Even the massively over-inflated official growth numbers have tanked. On the economy, I'd choose to be in the USA over China, no hesitation.

"Transforming entire continents"? You mean making extortionate loans to impoverished countries to build their own ports and extract resources? Again, that has limited runway as people figure out that it isn't such a good deal.

And I notice that you entirely avoided the human rights citizen security issue. Yes, the US has corporate over-harvesting of data, and govt agencies can buy and/or demand access to the data. We also have court processes. Meanwhile, China has OFFICIALLY one party, a massive and highly intrusive surveillance and censorship apparatus second to none in the world, and mobile execution vans literally seizing and executing people on the street by the tens of thousand or more, but there are no public records. Again, no contest, USA is massively qualitatively and quantitatively better.

Serious question, if you don't think so, why haven't you moved to China? I'm sure they'd welcome such an advocate.
