Emacs: Contextual Interfaces in Casual Calc
If you can't simulate your acausal bargaining partner exactly, they can exploit your cognitive limitations to make you cooperate, and then defect. (In the case of Roko's Basilisk, make you think you have to build it on pain of torture and then – once it's been built – not torture everyone who decided against building it.)

If "algorithmic similarity" were a meaningful concept, Dijkstra's programme would have got off the ground, and we wouldn't be struggling so much to analyse the behaviour of the 6-state Turing machines.

(And on the topic of time machines: if Roko's Basilisk could actually travel back in time to ensure its own creation, Skynet-style, the model of time travel implies it could just instantiate itself directly, skipping the human intermediary.)

Timeless decision theory's atemporal negotiation is a concern for small, simple intelligences with access to large computational resources that they cannot verify the results of, and the (afaict impossible) belief that they have a copy of their negotiation partner's mind. A large intelligence might choose to create such a small intelligence, and then defer to it, but absent a categorical imperative to do so, I don't see why they would.

TDT theorists model the "large computational resources" and "copy of negotiation partner's mind" as an opaque oracle, and then claim that the superintelligence will just be so super that it can do these things. But the only way I can think of to certainly get a copy of your opponent's mind without an oracle, aside from invasive physical inspection (at which point you control your opponent, and your only TDT-related concern is that this is a simulation and you might fail a purity test with unknown rules), is bounding your opponent's size and then simulating all possible minds that match your observations of your opponent's behaviour. (Symbolic reasoning can beat brute-force to an extent, but the size of the simplest symbolic reasoner places a hard limit on how far you can extend that approach.) But by Cantor's theorem, this precludes your opponent doing the same to you (even if you both have literally infinite computational power – which you don't); and it's futile anyway because if your estimate of your opponent's size is a few bits too low, the new riddle of induction renders your efforts moot.

So I don't think there are any stronger versions of basilisks, unless the universe happens to contain something like the Akashic records (and the kind from https://qntm.org/ra doesn't count).

Your "subjunctively biconditional" is my "causal", because I'm wearing my Platonist hat.

I, along with several other commenters I see, also dislike "antifragility" as a word. However, Taleb in his book does discusses at length why a new word was needed and how its definition differs from existing words like 'robust', 'resilient', etc. which have a different meaning. He even talks even the process of choosing "antifragility" which in a nutshell was just the best he could come up with.

Seeing other comments, I think 'hormesis' might be a better word to start using instead of "antifragility" which, again, is a just an awkward word that feels kind of fake when you use it.

Remove app stores completely, kill the "app" concept, and force platform providers to offer to browsers the same capabilities as apps.

As to job market, the industry is so big and ups and downs happened before a lot, I'm thinking it's not about the market but about my ability to find what I want. You're on point about bypassing automated screening systems, the question is, do you have some ideas how to do it in my case?
The same applies to refactorings unfortunately.

If you make a large but simple refactoring, like renaming a frequently-used function across a large repo, nobody is going to audit that diff and check for extra changes.

Things don't have to be this way, Google's source control systems apparently has tools that can do such refactorings for you in a centralized fashion, and one could make something like that for git.
> “…pay millions of dollars to live in what were originally brick warehouses, factories and power stations.”

Not because they are ‘beautiful’ in and of themselves. Residential living in a space designed for industry is an aesthetic of scale and human triumph over the machine.

Residential living in an open space located in a busy, high density, high value, urban setting is a statement of wealth—I have so much money I can have this much space with nothing in it. And you live in a cramped three floor brownstone walk-up? Ha! (Which would be a traditional and normative sign of wealth, short of the last detached single family house in Manhattan.)

Come on man, I know the majority of the time HN can fall into the dropbox launch "I can set that up myself easily" mindset, but this goes all the way back to the other direction. People do not need an AI to "analyse the laundry type and size to inform itself on how much detergent to use", just press a couple buttons. If this is where people's imaginations are going with AI then no wonder some people look at AI like another web3 situation.

GIF only has binary transparency. Period. Also GIF is only lossless if you don't care about file size (using multiple 0 duration frames with different palettes trick) or material is limited in palette.

From my testing VP9 videos with transparency are fine if you aren't stingy with bitrate, and in general if source material isn't CGI things will be crusty at edges anyway (e.g. greenscreen with motion blur).

Exactly - all the anti-Boeing sentiment in the comments here (while deserved) should also be directing some ire at the funding and contract structures being used for these projects (I.e. “cost-plus” contracts).

They’re just bad policy if you want the _nominal objectives_ of the project delivered on time and on budget; they have structural incentives for contractors to go over.

(It’s pretty clear that delivering the nominal objectives is not what the relevant policy-makers are actually aiming for, though. The cost overruns are the real goal for them, as it’s a kind of pork to steer regional funding)

I've spent thousands of hours writing code which is under the BSD license. Nice try trying to make the argument about me.

(I've not put anything under even the dubious GPL license in over 15 years, and never will.)

Yes, a free software license must not require people to "contribute back", or anything of the sort.

For instance, a "free for non-commercial use" license is not free. Even the people who came up with the AGPL understand this, and go to great pains to explain it.

I understand the social problem that the AGPL is trying to combat, whereby visitors are held captive by saas applications over which they have no visibility or control.

The AGPL approach is to use the power of a non-free license against the problem which makes it a cure worse than disease, and repugnant to developers of truly free software.

It's almost certainly the case that the saas problem cannot be engaged via software licensing terms, if those terms are to amount to a free software license.

I don't have a better idea, either, but that doesn't change the fact that the AGPL is a non-free license which crosses over into governing use rather than just redistribution.

Also one issue is that the AGPL doesn't actually solve anything. Visitors having the source code to my evil saas platform doesn't solve the problem that they're locked to it. It doesn't solve the problem that I can change the code at any time and they cannot. Or that I can shut it down and wipe out their data, or share it with third parties. An AGPL conforming application also need not provide visitors with any way to export their data.
Something that came into my mind while reading your comment: There is a link between the "just world fallacy" and "creating an exclusionary environment". The just world fallacy is a mis-thought to justify CoC abuse. Abusing the CoC against people is going to hit marginalized people most - if there are accusations against a person, they are more likely agreed with when the targeted person is one of the odd/weirdo people in the community.

This is how how marginalization works in practice.

I recently played the game Detroit: Become Human. The game pushed me to think about many things. I wonder if I will live to see those times? Will such times even come?
The most illuminating example is, unfortunately, in a controversial area; so please take this as descriptive rather than normative: Back in my city in America, when I heard a loud bang in the night, 4/5 of the time it was fireworks or a car backfiring, and 1/5 of the time it was gunfire. I found an expended 9mm round while walking my dog one morning. It wasn't even a particularly dangerous city, by American standards; but every year I had a 3/100k chance of being killed by gunfire; even accidentally, even while just sitting in my living room.

Here in Germany, I'm not magically immune to crime, but the base rates of gun crime are so low that I never worry about loud bangs. That comes at the cost of the freedom granted by the Second Amendment in America.

Another, slightly less salient & serious example: Germany has strict laws about public photography. Take a look at any "embarrassing pratfalls" or "annoying Karens" video reel: They may be US-weighted, but they come from all over the world--but not Germany. The lack of freedom to document the people around you on video trades off with the security of knowing you can slip on a banana peel without being known worldwide as "the banana peel guy."

It is also the normal state of the economy to not job jump because it is normally hard to get a job.

The far from equilibrium state was software jobs with 0% interest rates the last decade.

Then you have people who entered the workforce during this time believing this is how things have always been and always will be.

Surprise! That was a temporary state we are never going back to in your lifetime.

It is like when I was young, every song had to have a guitar solo. To hear a song with no guitar solo was so weird. I assumed things would always be this way. Neither the guitar solo or the 2016 software job market is ever coming back the same way it use to be.

Show HN: Create podcasts on your research now
ive built paperbrain -- a platform for exploring and creating content on research. An idea that is close to me and the idea grew from being an idea to a project. It scaled with over 50k users within 3 months of the launch and went viral across X. i loved to see the project grew as part of the buildspace nights & weekends program and helped me call myself a founder. You can now listen your favourite research papers as podcasts now that can have varying themes ranging from expert tone to funny!
Looks nice!

Open-source tool translates and dubs videos into other languages using AI
Now being from 2017 ;)
I suspect no-one has touched that file properly since then because of old scars :(

Part of the issue is there's not a lot of differentiation between most of the "project management" tools (apart from their age, which in some cases explains certain design choices), and the coupling of most of these to their PEP 517 backend doesn't help. There are backends where there is differentiation, such scikit-build, meson-python/mesonpy and enscons for wiring into pre-existing general purpose build systems (cmake, meson and scons respectively), maturin for rust, and flit-core as a bootstrapper, but given setuptools can be used without a setup.py now, I'm not clear on what some of the others provide.
The idea is about openness and collaboration

> I've found that intentionally causing abrupt (but reasonable) changes to hyperparameters in evolutionary spiking neural network simulations (I.e between each generation) results in far more robust simulations that will meet fitness criteria with less likelihood of getting stuck somewhere.

If I understand you correctly this is similar to the philosophy behind simulated annealing isn't it? The idea being that adding some peturbation can be enough to jog the evolution out of local minima and you probably want to reduce the amount of those jogs over time so it ends up converging.

> an approach which created an ideal space for things like the XZ backdoor.

That's not entirely correct. Indeed there was a part of the xz backdoor that lived in the configure script. However, that part was also included in the sources of the configure script as found in the tarball (and not in the git archive).

Thus regenerating the configure script didn't help, but regenerating the tarball did.

It's not about whether AI signals if the quality is bad or good. It's that for most people they see 'AI' and they have no idea what that actually means.

> Or they have developed a good filter for BS marketing.

Maybe. Or (maybe) yelling at the TV is a lot easier (and more visceral) than thinking "Hmm, this whole AI thing just might work out. Maybe I should treat the threat seriously this time just like my dad should have with the Chinese, robots, etc". As I said in my other reply it's generally not a good idea to outright dismiss what is even in the early stages a pretty clear potential threat to your livelihood.

> The markets can adapt also.

This can mean nearly anything and I'm not sure what you're trying to communicate in this context.

The first rule of any style guide should be "adhere to the conventions of surrounding code." So the answer to your question is it depends on what the convention in the file (and surrounding files) has already chosen. If there is only one grouping and you're adding enough imports that you have to choose between making two or three, then I would say use two because that is what the canonical & normative style guide recommends [0], but if you're working in an organization that has chosen to use goimports or has alternative guidance in its org-specific style guide then go ahead and make it three groups.

Well no, someone combining the proprietary code with the AGPL code infringes if they run that code such that it is exposed to visitors.
My experience (switching from heavy use of shell) is Python is really good at text processing and building data structure very quickly.

Python is a bit wordy for small things but it become extremely concice and reusable once things get a tiny bit larger.

Generally I find doing things in Python is straightforward whereas using shell is more of a low level puzzle game of conversions and reformats and fragility.

The puzzles in Python are higher level using better data types and containers. But also it's much easier to wrap things up into modules and reuse code in Python. And yeah Python is slow... but not compared to bash (unless you're using things like parallel, but Python isn't necessarily horrible for that either)

That's been my experience anyway.
