I think the key there (the “killer app” as it were) is shared experiences. I love co-op gaming and keep in touch with faraway friends by playing those games while Discording. It would be a game-changer (literally and figuratively) if we could game or watch something in the same AR or VR space, with some kind of persona or avatar representing ourselves, and spatially reflecting our audio/voice.

We’ve joked multiple times that whenever the “co-op Skyrim VR” of gaming comes out, we will never be heard from again lol.

Apple is SO CLOSE to this with its Vision Pro hardware, and yet so far… (no “co-op space” implementation, too expensive, too heavy on face)

Imagine seeing a live soccer match in 3D from incredible camera angles like just above the goals, but your buddy who is 3000 miles away is actually also sitting right next to you in that space, and you can see and hear each other…

It's not great for inhabitants.

September of last year 54 died in a fire because trucks couldn't get close enough to fight the fire (not to mention no fire exits, bars on windows, people couldn't escape).

This past May fourteen died in a fire. Fire department was handing out axes and told resident to bust through walls if a fire happened.

I’ve been working on this issue for a while and the conclusion I have come to is:

We’re not going to see actual movement on managing AI risk until there is the equivalent of a Hiroshima/three mile island/chernobyl from a self-improving system that has no human in the loop.

Not enough people actually believe ASI is possible and harmful, to create a movement that will stop the people who are pursuing it who don’t care or don’t believe its going to be harmful.

It would have been impossible to have a nuclear weapons ban prior to World War II because 1. Almost nobody knew about it 2. Nobody would have actually believed it could be that bad

The question you should ask is, if someone does make it, on any timeline is there any possible counter at that point?

And they wonder in random organizations and businesses that I am not willing to give all my personal details right away on first contact despite their 'utmost importance' of handling my data very securely, all this just to be informed about their product. And they seems to be offended with a "but we did it so for many years now" on my refusal and saying goodbye if they try to insist this "company policy".

Unluckily sooo many give zero or negative fáck among their potential and existing customers. This includes businesses providing medical services sending all the clien't data and medical results in clear text email and even declaring for their own convenience that "The property and copyright or other intellectual property rights in the contents of any document or images provided to you shall remain our property", for your ultrasound results. Your medical results are their property for those use their services. So they do as they plase with their data, not your data, not your concern if it is protected or not. And people go there and rate this service 4.8 on google, insane. Of course no-one really reads TOC, not even for sensitive medical services. People do not learn.
Depending on your threat model, a drill isn't even the right tool.

This will significantly complicate data recovery and render data where the drill impacts it destroyed, but it will in theory still be possible to decap/analyse platters or nand with a SEM microscope and reconstruct data off the surviving parts of the storage medium.

The cost may not be worth it even to some state actors, but such a cost is peanuts to the NSA, CIA, or any other organisation tasked with geopolitical standing. Depending on who's after you, they may even pass it to these organisations to get the data for them at cut-rate.

Only sure-fire way is to toss it in one of those big grinders data destruction companies like Iron Mountain have. They even let you watch it go in.

> If anything, they proved that shipt's algo did exactly what it was designed and reported to do, make payments more fair.

They didn't prove that. It's entirely possible the algo was skimming something off the top. It's entirely possible the algo was disproportionately rewarding some people to the detriment of others. A lot of it depends on what one thinks is "fair"... and without transparency, we can't even judge whether it is or not... which itself could be argued is unfair.

What’s the problem with magic links? If you have username/password combined with a “forgot password” feature, it’s the same as magic links with far more steps.

Also, usernames are generally a bad idea. Just use email. If they need a handle let them set it separately on their account and keep it away from auth.
> this means the ability to train 50 GPT-4 scale models every 90 days or 200 such models per year.

What it actually means is that they are training next gen models that are 50X larger.

And, considering MS and OpenAI are planning to build a $100 billion AI training computer, these 350K GPUs is just a tiny portion of what they are planning.

This isn't an overkill. This is the current plan: throw as much compute as possible and hope intelligence scales with compute.

> What exactly does ideal team work look like to you?

Certainly not something defined/constrained by the PM methodology du jour.

I can and do reach my teammates frequently just like they do with me. This doesn’t preclude the occasional meeting or even the daily stand up, as I said. But in the end I want to know what I have to work on and who I have to reach if I need help or get blocked, and more importantly, be given the focus time to do it.
If you are exploring Kannan vs scrum, you’ve already failed before you even started.

First, what you are trying to do? Is it a big ambitious multi year project or even mid size which has a lot of modules? Then first you need to assemble a core team - PM, PO, Architect, Sr Engineer - and get the core components built to some extent or laid out clearly, before trying to find a suitable development strategy. In scrum, you should be ‘only’ integrating components and not developing, just like the assembly line.
I'm a lonely computer nerd, and yet despite having made a lot of friends on the internet in my youth, I'm no longer willing to do so. The internet has gotten too weird and polarized, and quite frankly I don't like the people who share my interests. Most nerds are living in fantasy worlds, not just part-time.

The problem is one of degrees - Anyone you notice on a big site is likely posting very often - "Terminally online" is the word. The more niche you go, they are alternatively deeper into their own fantasy worlds. I haven't figured out how to arrange coincidence; Repeated coincidental meetings have long been studied to be the basis of friendship, and intentionally going to "meetups" where the attendance is common but not fixed is the best way to foster that.

Online matchmaking has been the biggest problem here - You are guaranteed a game, but you'll never run into the same people twice. Once upon a time you had localish communities form around servers that were low-ping to them, which really worked well - You were likely to run into the same people, and they were likely to be nearby but not so close that you'd have run into them anyway.

The big problem is that modern chip manufacturing is impossible without the petrochemical industry, which itself needs the petrochemical industry to operate.

The modern industrialized economy is built on industrial chemical production which stems from oil. If we lose the ability to extract or distribute oil it's going to be hard to bootstrap society.

But if that happens we're all going to die from common infections and starvation before we worry about getting YouTube back online.

Oh and quick timesaver for all the dubious people like me: they applied general statistical techniques from their gravity work to parsing the fragments of the computer we have. There’s no direct connection between the two subjects, otherwise.

EDIT: some kinda humorous scientific meta-commentary at the very bottom of the paper: they were able to get the anthropology paper based on these findings peer reviewed and published in print well before this technical paper finished peer review. If I were an Academia pen tester, this is the kind of race condition that I’d look for!

> There is nothing similar between the lives of a trans person in the Middle East or South Asia and those in the West.

I don't have first hand knowledge, but actual trans people I've heard from who have lived in both South Asia and the West and are in community with trans people on both sides of that divide do not echo that sentiment, and particularly this upthread idea, "These are not trans people like you see in the anglosphere", has been attributed to a combination of a extremely similar (but with different local names used) process of third-sexing in both South Asian and anglo cultures plus orientalism applied by anglo observers to South Asian cultures and the third-sexing going on within it.

>> Could you illustrate how any other language inspired Powershell in any way, beyond the most basic concept that it is a scripting language?

I just posted this elsewhere in the comments, but it does answer your question:

They originally based Powershell loosely on Perl and the Korn shell. In the first edition of "Powershell in Action" by Bruce Payette there is a sidenote that states:

'PowerShell uses the "at" symbol ("@") in a few places, has $_ as a default variable, and uses "&" as the function call operator. These elements lead people to say that PowerShell looks like Perl. In fact, at one point, we were using Perl as a root language, and these elements stem from the period. Later on, the syntax was changed to align more with C#, but we kept these elements because they worked well. In Perl terminology, they contributed significantly to the "whipupitude quotient" of the language.'

It also states:

'The core PowerShell language is based on the POSIX 1003.2 grammar for the Korn shell. Originally, Perl idioms were appropriated for some of the more advanced concepts such as hash tables. However, as the project progressed, it became clear that aligning PowerShell syntax with C# was more appropriate.'

Those aren't hard drives, they're solid state drives in the SATA form factor which was originally designed for hard drives. SSDs are much more compact than HDDs, so the components are usually all bunched up at one side near the connectors and the rest is just air, thus punching a hole in them at random probably won't achieve anything. Punching a hole through the PCB might not destroy the data either depending on where exactly you hit it but it would at least make it difficult to recover.

I recently had to help my father organize his medical visits.

Dealing with his healthcare providers was a bit of a pain, but it was way worse because he has stopped answering calls, primarily because of the call spam rate. I think because he owns his own business, he never fails to hand out his contact info when he is shopping, and he owns his own business (so his contact info is published by the city).

His phone provider has a feature to opt into spam filtering, his phone has another, and I downloaded a spam list filtering app for him. I disabled the ringer for numbers not in his contact list. I did similar actions to reduce spam in his text messages.

This was a good triage, but the damage is already done to his psyche. He doesn’t answer the phone anymore.
It probably doesn't make sense for FreeBSD to maintain a separate distro build for an experimental architecture that only supports a single demo board and requires lots of patches.

It is a super interesting project though. It would be great if the hardware performance overheads were reduced so much that it became a mainstream ARM target.
As someone who hoards my own old USBs and hard drives, which I don’t think hold anything particularly interesting, this idea was violent at first. But yeah, I get it lol

I agree that the explicit yield syntax is good.

To play devil's advocate though, the case of Mutex specifically has it going for it that MutexGuard is !Send, so it's a compiler error if a MutexGuard is held across an await point in a Send Future. But yes if your Future is also !Send then the compiler will allow it. In that case, your only recourse is that clippy has lints for holding Mutex and RefCell guards across await points, as long as you're running it and paying attention to it of course.

I won't deny that I'd love the challenge. However, there are some caveats:

1. AINAL, so I might say legal matters wrong for not understanding completely how the tax law works in Brazil, (Tho I do like to search about it), but I might find someone who could help you guys with it.

2. Currently, there is a law already approved (now being regulated with complementary acts) about how taxes will change in Brazil to the VAT model, this could increase/decrease taxes for a service like yours.

Besides these 2 points, we could talk via email (xunjin.coder@gmail.com) to might find a way like AWS did, creating a Brazilian subsidiary, to be able to generate NF-e in accordance for each valid Brazilian Tax Registration Number (CPF/CNPJ) and issue the invoices in BRL.

The paper [here](https://bhi.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/07-HJJuly24-AOT...) makes it clear that these researchers (whose main topic is gravitational waves) have used Bayesian analyses to estimate how likely different counts for holes present in the full calendar ring are. This is cool, but the bit about "techniques developed to analyse the ripples in spacetime" is, well, making reference to Bayesian analysis.

Go, Rust, and Elixir are probably all solid choices. Even PHP too - specifically Laravel. Ultimately it depends on the developers interests & existing knowledge.

Elixir (& the underlying Erlang) and Go certainly come with a lot of concurrency support out of box, and are well known for building websites. Though I imagine Go is usually typically treated as an API backend paired with an SPA like React.

Elixir/Phoenix offers LiveView which makes it easier to skip the API/SPA paradigm to some degree. But the higher the demand on browser interaction, the more you'll probably end up bringing in Javascript to the mix. Though you could use something like https://github.com/woutdp/live_svelte to integrate svelte & liveview.

I'm a huge fan of Elixir/Phoenix myself.
Better to encrypt your drives. Like ZFS encryption. No need to destroy the hardware in this case and you're also save from someone stealing the server.
My usage of "parallel/await" is entirely metaphorical; I was kinda going for a Javascript-esque syntax with "await Parallel" - I'm assuming most people aren't familiar with F#'s `and!`. It doesn't make sense for applicative generators to (necessarily) use the thread pool.
