I want to add a fact about which the author was not aware.

While as he says, after Tiger Lake Intel has deprecated VP2INTERSECT, then they have changed their mind and they have added it again in the server CPU Granite Rapids, which will be launched in a few months.

Moreover, the ISA of Granite Rapids is considered to be AVX10.1 and all its instructions, including VP2INTERSECT, will be a mandatory part of the ISA of all future Intel CPUs from 2026 on.

Therefore it is good that AMD has achieved an excellent implementation of VP2INTERSECT, which they will be able to carry into their future designs.

It remains to be seen whether the Intel Granite Rapids implementation of VP2INTERSECT is also good.
> A redo of this mission would cost Boeing half a billion dollars, easy.

I imagine so indeed, not in the least because all Atlas V launch vehicles are already assigned to missions. The booster for another non-operational flight would thus have to come from either their operational missions, or they'd have to pay someone else to give up their scheduled Atlas V payload. If they fail to buy someone else's Atlas V, they'd have to integrate Starliner onto a new (i.e. non-Atlas V) human-rated launch vehicle, or they would fail to deliver the contracted 6 operational missions.
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm sad I cannot see how the world will be in 100, 200 or 500 years from today.

I wish people invented a reliable cryogenesis machine, so that I can go to sleep, come back after a century, live for 5-10years, and go back to sleep. Repeat the cycle.

I don't care about living a long life, it only burdens the body and mind. I want to see fast paced changes happening in front of my eyes. Evolution takes millions of years, technological advances takes century. Being awake for that long only makes you miserable, because of all the shit happening in life. Let's admit that life is for the most part a shitty deal, with some moments of excitement.
Yes, it works really well in my experience. Although I mostly use it for technical information and justifying some decisions. But you can totally ask modern LLMs to "summarise this in ArgDown format" and they'll do the right thing.
See, blaming private companies for the consequences of government-granted monopolies is exactly the kind of thing I don't understand. The government is handing out permission to price gouge. On purpose!

Seems justified. In any workplace I think you'd face a stern talking to or lose your job for this.
Products like this make me pretty cynical about VCs’ ability to evaluate novel technical products. Any ML engineer who spent 5 minutes understanding would have rejected the pitch.
> the pads can be retuned to different scales suggesting a complete break from any kind of equal temperament octaves.

I was kind of curious about this since in the medieval era, equal temperament wasn't used very much. But it just allows retuning to major/minor and modes in equal temperament, as far as I can tell. Would be an excellent device for medieval music if it could be tuned to meantone, Pythagorean and so on!
You should see what they can do with mice/rats nowadays:

-- Immunity to prion diseasy by epigenetically silencing the prion gene,

-- Cure (almost) all cancers

-- life long HIV AIDS immunity with 1 vaccination (based on a modified virus)

-- Extend life by a factor 2 (if I'm not mistaking)

-- Make them light up in the dark with a human ear growing on their back (this one is decades old already).

And all of the above is without considering the AGI singularity.

Human immunity is really not that far away. Depending on how AGI will respond to us we will soon either be wiped out or be immortal IMO.

Yup we have a dehumidifier running constantly that drains into the sump pit. The basement still has a basement smell even though it's all brand new drywall, fresh paint, etc. The dehumidifier keeps the humidity around 40%, otherwise it would be approaching 75-80%
It was overpriced and didn’t have a lot of software.

That's not how I remember it at all. Apple XServers cost about the same as the competition and the XServer RAID was a bargain compared to similar hardware offerings at the time. And although I never used the software, based on the demos I saw from their sales team, it looked really nice and I never heard anybody complain about it. The aversion wasn't price or software, it was just that people didn't really trust Apple support and service.
It's a pointless intermediary when you have the bots directly there on your last remaining server though.

These semantic games are obfuscating the real issue here; tying the definition of "self hosting" to the "If the bombs drop and civilization is over and me, and my home lab are the only survivors" scenario is less useful than a two handed pit saw to a sole survivor.

I appreciate your assist to what I consider to be fragmede's "foot in keyboard" moment of poor definition, I suspect we're all better served with a better definition.
> (assuming healthy)

Moments ago, I, too, used to think this way, but then I glanced around at the comments here, and I realize that even if immortal, we'd still have to suffer each other, and that simply just can't go on forever.
There's an issue open for this on the WebDriver BiDi issue tracker.

We started with WebSockets because that supports more use cases (e.g. automating a remote device such as a mobile browser) and because building on the existing infrastructure makes specification easier.

It's also true that there are reasons to prefer other transports such as unix domain sockets when you have the browser and the client on the same machine. So my guess is that we're quite likely to add support for this to the specification (although of course there may be concerns I haven't considered that get raised during discussions).

I think, most people who want to be immortal are actually motivated by either the fear of death, or the desire to travel far and experience life in the future. But these are distinct motivations.

Immortality itself does not compute. It just does not make sense. You are a product of your time. So if you end up 10000 years in the future, what is going to happen? It wouldn't be good if you were still you, a 2000 millennium person. So lets say you managed to evolve entirely to become a 10000 millennium human (if that's even a thing). Then, you're not really you anymore. There is no discernible continuity. So in effect it's like you died and were reborn multiple times over. "Immortality" only really makes sense over smaller timescales on the order of centuries, at most.

I can tell you, I have relatives who were alive before WWII and although they are alive, they are not part of the present. They are not fascinated by AI, they are not on Instagram or TikTok, they are not really partaking in the present, but mostly reminiscing the life they used to have in their childhood and early adulthood.
That seems very anti-worker.
I've done (sorta) similar by using syncthing on an old android phone.

It's worked pretty well. of course it just syncs a folder between my devices, but seeing as my desktop and laptop both have to be on, and my desktop is offline, when i was out... i couldn't really sync properly.

so i got the middleman, my old samsung phone, to sync to. it can be turned on all the time, connected to my wifi at home and make sure i always have a place to sync my data to, regardless of what computer i'm using.
I had understood that there was some kind of Brythonic language attested in the Scottish Borders.

Cumbric? At least until the victory of Anglo-Saxon languages there three or four centuries after the Roman withdrawal.

So yeah, not quite (modern) Scots Gaelic but part of the same family of languages. And not at all recently, but potentially hundreds and hundreds of years of language contact in domestic and community use in some parts, as early Scots was first forming out of a continuum of Northumbrian English dialects.

Selling a house in Denmark requires the seller to acquire a “condition report” from a certified inspector. The report is valid for 6 months and costs around $1000. This also ties into the optional “owner transfer insurance” which covers serious defects / building code violations undetectable by the inspectors. The insurance lasts 5 years and costs $2000-$5000
Those numbers are very inaccurate.

But in general, yes - VCs give something and it costs something, like almost everything else in life and certainly in business. It's your job as an entrepreneur to decide if that money is "worth it". Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. In the end, just like borrowing money, it's a tool that you have to decide on as an entrepreneur. It's a big decision, maybe one of the biggest at first, but one of many thousands of decisions you have to make every day.
Not sure why this was downvoted, but I agree.

It is easy to see why an individual would choose life over death, if one has the means for a comfortable life. A second order question would then be: would the society value your life over their own? Even as we speak, many thousands are dying of preventable causes, including man made starvation. There is no way immortality will be accessible to all, and will only increase inequality.

I'll happily change my mind if we can fix world hunger and homelessness before conquering death.

That's even worse hyperbole.

Anyway, yes, Congress inevitably does always manage to pass a budget. There are sometime delays, the consequence of which is exaggerated to put pressure on the other side to give up ground in the negotiations, but at the end of the day it's just politics and people carry on.
I think many might not be aware of Starliner's sordid history. It has failed essentially every qualification test in various ways. Their pad abort test (where you simulate a launch abort while on the launch pad) resulted in only 2 of the 3 parachutes deploying in beyond optimal conditions. NASA considered that such a resounding success that they let them completely skip the far more challenging in-flight abort test. Their first automated mission to the ISS completely failed and did not make it to the station. NASA finally required a redo from Boeing and their second one did make it to the ISS, but only after experiencing widespread leaks and thruster failures literally identical to the ones that have now left these astronauts stranded.

If SpaceX or another company had remotely similar results, they would never have been greenlit. For instance in spite of a flawless pad abort test, NASA required SpaceX also carry out an in-flight abort. And that's completely reasonable - you don't simply skip tests, even with optimal performance. Skipping tests following suboptimal performance is simply unjustifiable. And so I think we're largely looking at another Challenger type disaster caused by a disconnect between management (and likely political appointees) versus engineering staff, rather than inherent risk. But this is not a vessel that should have ever had a single human anywhere near it, and so their official comments (and even actions) on the situation are going to be heavily biased due to their own behaviors.

> Irrational stinginess is a strange problem to have, akin to complaining about being too beautiful.

Just to add another anecdotal data point: I kinda have that problem, most likely out of growing up through family financial difficulties.

I did amass a significant amount of money out of caution, should anything bad happen. I had way more money than I was indebted for, and a nice enough paycheck.

And... Something bad happened. I won't go into the details (I don't really want to share) but my house was on the line and I had to spend pretty much all of my savings to save the house and many years of work and sacrifices.

Now I'm in debt again, but thankfully only by less than ten thousand euros over the balance in my bank account, so it's pretty reasonable and manageable.

Still, I feel vulnerable and it's not at all a nice position to be in.

So yeah, "irrational stinginess" isn't that bad after all. Somebody else in my position would have either lost the house or gone back into living paycheck to paycheck (or both).

So just because some articles paint it as a not-optimal condition, don't assume it's automatically "bad".
This article reads like they intentionally left out any details.

Boeing did largely design build the orbiter, which is the reusable spacecraft that's commonly referred to as the space shuttle, although it was only a part of the entire space shuttle program. Both disasters though were not the fault of the orbiter but caused by failures of the boosters and tank, neither of which were built by Boeing, but these projects are supposed to be designed holistically and so I'd say all the companies involved in that project share responsibility for the shortcomings of the design.

Having lived in both NZ and AU I would suggest AU has more opportunities if you are looking to find a local job. Must check work visa conditions re: age, qualifications, duration, etc.
You would need to be a lot more specific. This is a big planet. Have you travelled a bit before? Are you comfortable with not speaking the local language? How do you feel about Asia? Are you comfortable with being a visible minority? With benevolent racism? With living in an enclave with other well-off people? Is bike infrastructure important to you? How much bureaucracy are you willing to deal with? Do you want a high income or a low cost of living? Do you want something familiar or completely different? Can you handle extremely hot summers? Long and dark winters? What kind of nature are you looking for? Do you want something a little new, or a Big Adventure? What kind of work do you want to do there?

Think about what you want, and narrow it down from there.
I'm sure, like anything, there is incentive and opportunity to manipulate the numbers. but I don't think it would be easy to do without being found out. Police precincts do a lot of paperwork and behind any statistics, they are going to need the paperwork for individual cases to back up the numbers they submit. and if they are going to under report, they will need to destroy a lot of paperwork. but my intuition is that while leadership may want to under report crime, cops will usually want to report as much as possible to prove that they are busy and necessary. so the balance likely gets us acceptably accurate numbers.
Not an optometrist myself, so please excuse if I'm using all the wrong words here.

I do agree that the hyperbole often seem in the media ("the most important decision", etc.) is quite ridiculous. That being said, keep in mind the assumptions you make when thinking long-term.

For example, I've had it argued to me that that homosexual individuals shouldn't be allowed civil unions, as doing so would lead to the bankruptcy of the federal government. The "long-term thinking" here was that allowing unions between homosexual individuals would, at some future point, lead to allowing unions between polygamous groups*, which would then lead to people joining in unions for tax purposes, which would then lead to a disruptive loss of income for the government.

A few hundred years ago people would punish the sick and sometimes throw them into wells, making the rest of the village sick. I wondered if violence could be modeled as a plague. Once you're exposed, you're starting to catch it. Imagine that being violent to violent people spreads this disease.

That resonates with what you said - if we could absorb violence and not pass it on we can contain it. Unfortunately, the western world handles violence with more violence, which is the same as throwing a sick person into the village well.

> So I save.. and eventually I will be able to buy time.

I'm in the same boat, however lately I've been realizing that the time you can buy at 40 or 50 is not the same quality of the time you can have at 20 or 30.

I'm still saving anyway (again, same boat) but as soon as I get some wiggle room (money-wise) I'm going to restructure/rebalance my priorities around that concept.

Nothing makes you put time in the right frame except for realizing all the time you wasted.
Depending on the phone, if the phone has a USB-C, you could definitely turn it into a NAS with an external disk caddy and an ethernet connection (usb-c port extenders do that).

I do think our brain as a somehow fix structure / existential path that would struggle to make sense over multiple centuries[0]. Beside reminiscing times gone, there's also the absurdity of cycles and "forgettance", where stupid things come over and over[1], which is not pleasant.

[0] if you don't just go insane because your memory capacity is reached and you just can't organize new ideas without losing others or causing damage.

[1] that said this might be due to equal demographic waves, but in the case of immortal population, young ones would be less and less large % wise.
You're confusing anger with shock.
Alphago didn't have human feedback, but it did learn from humans before surpassing them. Specifically, it had a network to 'suggest good moves' that was trained on predicting moves from pro level human games.

The entire point of alpha zero was to eliminate this human influence, and go with pure reinforcement learning (i.e. zero human influence).
Depends on the type of immortality. If we can fight typical aging processes, then a big part of the problem you state would go away.
Old brains don't learn and think as fast as young ones do, this has purely to do with ageing and cell/dna defects over time.
Old people are not hyped by AI and new tech, because most of them don't understand them and i think this has much to do with the reason stated.

Not to say there is not a possible psychological problem for us when living forever, it just cannot be researched right now because, you know, we tend to die.

That's not even close to how laws get passed. If what you say were true, then why don't we have many laws the vast majority of Americans want and have laws most Americans oppose?
