> Seriously?

Yes. Communism's key attributes are that it is classless, stateless, and moneyless.

> Who takes all the resources and allocates them "according to each person's need" then?

We'd need to know more about how post-scarcity is achieved in order to answer that question. Star Trek says the replicator is responsible, although that seems unlikely outside of the imagined Star Trek universe. Based on what we can see today, I'd guess robots. But this is all speculative as we don't really know what post-scarcity truly looks like, or if it is achievable at all.

> Communism predates the idea of post scarcity by a hundred years or more AFAIK.

Are you referring to what is oft referred to as primitive communism?

Although I find it hard to believe that humans have ever not thought about post-scarcity. It seems like the first thought/dream anyone would have when first faced with scarcity constraints.
If you like at the skills of each class then it's pretty obvious that wizards, rangers, halflings, elves, dwarves, and orcs are modeled after Gandalf, Aragorn, the hobbits, etc.

Gandalf calls Aragorn the world's best hunter, and Aragorn literally listens to the earth (in the pursuit of Merry and Pippin) like the Ranger class skill. If D&D isn't based on LOTR, weird that so many of the classes are 1:1.

Then look at the way Dragons in D&D affect their environment (e.g. the weather changes as you get near a dragon's den) and it's even more obvious that D&D is based off LOTR. Not to mention the assault on Minas Tirith beginning with a change in weather due to the power of Sauron (or the way Saruman changes the weather on Caradhras). Or look at the mechanics of being frightened, that's pretty much the core class trait of the Nazgul.

Reading LOTR after reading through the Player's Manual makes it extremely obvious where each of the class skills came from - the came from events in LOTR.
It's astonishing to me that people do not see the correlation between AI and as you call it "bureaucratic collective action".

I have considered corporations, nation states, etc as forms of artificial intelligence that long predates computers. Just because the intelligence is collective doesn't make it less artificial. and just because the "code" that makes up these collective intelligences are written as laws and governance documents doesn't change the fact that it is an agent that can make "decisions".

I suppose it is hard for people to feel a connection with a group or org as intelligence opposed to an personified "individual" like ChatGPT. Kind of like how it is hard to see an anthill as an organism when we are so much more related to the ant. However just because its hard for us to relate to an anthill, it doesn't make it any less of an organism that behaves like an individual.

In order to advance AI, it is imperative to study and understand how our current "super intelligences" of nation-states and mega-corporations behave and how they interact with others and govern themselves.
Relatedly, I once saw someone realize that the sound they played at the end of their build was running synchronously so they were blocking themselves from a faster feedback loop and reporting unusually long builds in their profiling. Properly backgrounding the sound fixed their issues.
Time to get a new TPM. Any TPM worth their salt should be doing everything in their power to catalog and mitigate those risks, and communicate them upwards. Lack of communication in both directions and adversarial conversations with engineers is a whole parade of red flags.

That said, Gantt charts absolutely have their place alongside Agile. Our budget and goals are set yearly so inevitably there’s going to be milestones and work back dates to meet, as well as cross-team/org dependencies to track.

> We absolutely learned something since the 90s that was beneficial.

Yes, software engineering has evolved, but to attribute its successes to the methodology used is like attributing higher cancer survival rates to better hospital management. In reality, it's due to the availability of better drugs, more understanding, and a lot of R&D, and it has 0 to do with management. Same with software engineering: we use better tooling, libraries, hardware is more commodified, and a lot of things we don't have to do ourselves. All things that have nothing to do with the methodology.

> So it seems that the actual lesson from the Agile manifest was only learned by the people who don't claim to practice it.

No methodology/manifest and no amount of management can compete with smart, qualified adult people being invested in their craft, and having autonomy and ownership on what they are building. The projects that succeeded are projects having those people, regardless of the methodology. In a way, people succeeded despite Agile, not because of it.

Counter-point: People complain a lot about leg-room on airplanes. They say they'll pay more for leg room. However, it's very well known (empirically) that they won't pay. People want the cheapest seat - period.

Leg room is very transparent. Consumers can't be fooled. People may want nice things, but they won't pay for it.

Mr. Beast is just giving people what they empirically want.

The structure is rotten BECAUSE him and trump and all of these other clowns are making these "jokes" that aren't really "jokes" because he has to make excuses after making them.

I haven't dug deeper, but the claim that the von Neumann approach is optimal does not seem intuitively correct. It seems like you could squeeze a tiny bit more entropy from it -- basically, if you reject two pairs in a row, the nature of that rejection tells you something.

And here is the Claude 3.5 response when given the entire text of the main article and the HN comment you had so much fun with:

——

This comment brings a neuroscientific perspective to the philosophical discussion of consciousness unity presented in the main article. Let's break down the key points and analyze them:

1. Baseline disunity: The commenter suggests that disunity should be considered the default state for sensory and perceptual processes. This aligns with the article's proposition that unity might be the exception rather than the rule in everyday experience.

2. Limited bandwidth: The idea that we don't have enough cognitive bandwidth to bind more than a few streams of consciousness at once supports the article's argument against constant, complete unity of consciousness.

3. Minsky's Society of Minds: This reference to Marvin Minsky's work reinforces the idea of multiple, semi-independent cognitive processes, which is consistent with the article's suggestion of disunity or partial unity.

4. Unity in motor output: The commenter makes an interesting point about the necessity of unity in motor actions for survival. This suggests that while sensory inputs may be disjointed, there must be some level of integration for effective action.

5. Cortico-thalamic-cortical recursions: The idea that our inner narrative is driven by these neural cycles provides a potential mechanism for the partial unification of consciousness, which aligns with the article's speculation about degrees of partial, imperfect unity.

6. James Joyce and Finnegans Wake: This artistic example raises an intriguing question about the possibility of parallel processing in what appears to be a serial format (writing), challenging our understanding of conscious unity in creative processes.

The neuroscientific perspective offered here largely supports and extends the philosophical arguments presented in the main article. It provides a biological basis for understanding why consciousness might often be disunified or only partially unified, and suggests that full unification might be a special case related to specific cognitive demands or motor outputs.

This comment enriches the discussion by bridging the gap between philosophical speculation and neuroscientific understanding, offering a more complete picture of consciousness that encompasses both phenomenological experience and underlying neural mechanisms.

My mom was a German / English technical translator in the US. At one point she said those Germans need to decide, English or German. I guess the French from time to time make French words for those with English roots.

Though the German word for cell phone, “handy” is pretty great.
Not as much as you'd think. D&D's conception of elves, dwarves, and halflings was straight out of Tolkien, and...that was very nearly it as far as really unique elements (barring a few monster names and specific magic items, out of hundreds). Those three races are highly visible but kinda superficial. The Howard/Burroughs/Vance/Moorcock/etc. style of swords-and-sorcery/murderhoboism is a lot more deeply baked in.
I dont think "doing nothing" is enough - the mind, at least mine, will often wander into ugly places if left truly alone. What I think is needed is a conscious & repeated effort of sustaining attention away from past or future and back to here & now

I politely don’t understand this. It’s taught in cryptography 101 that breaking ecc is just solving the discrete logarithm problem and there’s a ton of online articles about how to break ecc if you’ve solved the discrete logarithm problem (not that anyone has).
I'm thinking of writing a commit hook to make sure that every commit has the following metadata in trailers:

known) or upstream URI and branch
targeted for integration (prompting
if necessary)

- commit type and optional tracker ID

When a commit has these metadata already, leave it.

Well, a time-traveling computer can solve problems of an entirely different (much larger and a strict superset) category than the ones a quantum computer can.

You don't even need to travel far. A second or so is enough to break all cryptography, even the post-quantum one.

I've done a lot of advanced research in this domain. It is far more difficult than people expect for a few reasons.

The biggest issue is that the basic data model for population behavior is a sparse metastable graph with many non-linearities. How to even represent these types of data models at scale is a set of open problem in computer science. Using existing "big data" platforms is completely intractable, they are incapable of expressing what is needed. These data models also tend to be quite large, 10s of PB at a bare minimum.

You cannot use population aggregates like census data. Doing so produces poor models that don't ground truth in practice for reasons that are generally understood. It requires having distinct behavioral models of every entity in the simulation i.e. a basic behavioral profile of every person. It is very difficult to get entity data sufficient to produce a usable model. Think privileged telemetry from mobile carrier backbones at country scales (which is a lot of data -- this can get into petabytes per day for large countries).

Current AI tech is famously bad at these types of problems. There is an entire set of open problems here around machine learning and analytic algorithms that you would need to research and develop. There is negligible literature around it. You can't just throw tensorflow or LLMs at the problem.

This is all doable in principle, it is just extremely difficult technically. I will say that if you can demonstrably address all of the practical and theoretical computer science problems at scale, gaining access to the required data becomes much less of a problem.
> We live with the dangerous aspects of cars as the utility they provide is so high. The same will prove true of AI.

Growing salad greens is probably one of the best things one can do for themselves. Why spend $5 for a pound of salad greens when you can buy 2-3lbs of seeds for that price?

What worries me is that in many industries (health & education particularly) there doesn't seem to be any actual limit to admin demand.

Like; admin demands increase until the system barely functions and compliance is just barely possible.

BUT administrators would always like more data, controls and process.

So one possible outcome of AI is that computers magically pick up our admin burdens, freeing us to do our jobs in peace.

The _other_ possible outcome is that AI increases our capacity for admin and therefore generates way more admin.

A particular risk is where AI generates asymmetric leverage for administrators.

An example of this would be admin requiring lengthy forms to do such-and-such. If a human administrator no longer needs to spend their time validating or checking the forms, there's less pushback on making the forms longer or producing even more of them.

People are pretty good at understanding English in Norway. But the only factor that introduces English into the conversation is when someone does not speak Norwegian. In my experience.

I'd say the viewers are YouTube's quatloos.

Advertisers and people seeking behavior modification out of populations are YouTube's customers. MrBeast understands this. The MrBeast goal is to get and stay #1 at whatever YouTube wants, for the purpose of being #1 at whatever YouTube wants. That purpose can be any number of things, MrBeast doesn't care. It's purpose-agnostic.
Incredibly dumb argument.
Technological advancements like the Internet, Google Search, YouTube, Social Media, Smartphones have benefitted the masses -- the poorest person in Bangladesh have the same access to these technologies as the President of US or a Billionaire.

ChatGPT is literally available to everyone, but yet it takes an incredible amount of brainwashing to claim these technologies are not to the benefit of the people. These are also claims made by highly privileged, highly paid, entitled coastal elites.

Reads like a "How to PM" and "Extreme Ownership" rolled into 1 doc.

The one area that I'm wondering a bit on is the statement that you need to be working on multiple 'videos' aka projects at 1 time and if your not then your a FAILURE... so whose priority list is "prio" when, lets say, you are working on 5-10 projects? And they all have prios/emergencies etc.... Interesting expectation setting here. And concludes with a rather harsh statement too with the "failed as a MrBeast employee that day"...

For reference:
Work on multiple videos EVERYDAY
Please do not come in and only work on one video during a workday.
That’s how you fall behind on future videos and create a nasty cycle that i’m
trying to stop. If you drop everything and go all in on a video for 3 days then that’s
3 days your other videos will fall behind and eventually you’ll have to drop other
videos to focus on those videos and it will snowball into you can’t do anything but
focus on what’s right in front of you because you murdered any lead time you
had. If you ever only work on one video during a day, you failed as a MrBeast
employee that day

This is the most likely scenario.

Thanks for this pointer -- I had read a Knuth paper ages ago that talked about this, but I couldn't remember the term of find the paper again, and this led me directly to [1] which led me back to [2]

Their content-addressing hash would seem critical, but the "combineUnordered" hash they use just adds each byte. The API is clear that this is only as good as possible, and I'm not sure I would rely on it for data used for security investigations. I suspect they'll come up with something like an arbitrary but fixed order over keys that would improve hash quality.

More generally, while I can maybe understand what they're doing, it's hard to imagine how to QA it in a way that's convincing to customers without a lot of data/compute/coverage analysis.
It was rhetorical. And telling you that the answer is not to assume the worst without reading what they are doing is not a personal attack.
