> Microsoft is doing Recall, encrypted and what not with the TPM => Microsoft BAD!

1) It was not in fact encrypted and any user could mess with it. AND the data was stored in SQLite too. Microsoft only started fixing this after their totally negligent security was brought to light.

2) Recall is maintained and auto updated by Microsoft which can change the rules at any point (e.g. add datamining at a later point). At least with Screenpipe the end user decides. This solution is open-source so you know what's happening.

At least for mental illness, the US state run mental hospitals should be reopened to put the mentally ill under care, monitoring, and to get them back on medicine.

Modern psychiatric medicine could reverse the issues that used to stigmatize the mentally ill.

You're absolutely right to point out all the methological errors their chain of thought shows.

Honestly after many years, I've learned it's best to simply ignore the entire "brains run on quantum woo" crowd. It's unlikely they will be able to conjure up a convincing experiment that shows anything stupendous. You will just exhaust yourself arguing with folks who want to believe in quantum woo.

To me the biggest issue is the obsessive focus on a mechanism; instead, any experiments should be focused on demonstrating that some QM property is necessary (through association), then looking for mechanistic causality.

Hot word detection to activate an assistant occurs locally on your device for the purpose of activating said assistant. That is a far cry from “Pretty sure Apple and Google already do this, just to all phones, in all homes, and not just for music, but your entire life!” which suggests that both Apple and Google are deploying a dragnet uploading a 24/7 recording to their servers for nefarious purposes. That is just simply not true. That at minimum would leave a constant trail of bytes being sent over the network (which isn’t the case), and would massively drain battery life. It’s also highly illegal.
You don't need to answer that, in fact, I explicitly handwaved it away. The question is - is there a class between the elites and the serfs, and the answer is always yes.

I’ve always thought POSIX compliance is the primary thing vendors should be targeting for portability. I was trying to find something that would explain the difference between POSIX and UNIX compliance, but there’s not great sources on this specifically.

I imagine UNIX is a superset of POSIX, I’d be curious if anyone knows of a simple comparison between the two?

I'm convinced those that say "I think its a good exercise filling out an application" have never actually read the application

Here are a few questions:

"How far along are you?"

"What tech stack are you using, or planning to use, to build this product?"

"Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you're making?"

"Who are your competitors? What do you understand about your business that they don't?"

"How do or will you make money? How much could you make?"

It's really not that deep or thought provoking. Its fine, you should have answers for these questions, but its hardly worth a founders time going over this as closely as many do.

I briefly worked for Imbue, and got paid for it, and as far as I know they are still legitimately hiring -- their current team page shows a good number of people who have been hired since I was there -- so I don't think "spams fake hiring ads" is a fair thing to say; they are legitimately hiring people, and paying good money. My impression is that they make the top of the hiring funnel as wide as possible but end up hiring a tiny fraction of the people who start the process.

Exposing myths about in-office work
> A monad is a weird/unnecessary concept.

No it isn't.

A monad is a simple and easy concept that make it possible to write generic code that works across a number of very common things in software. The Monad interface is simple, and of immense practical utility.

There are only two things that are difficult about the concept:

1. The interface is so simple that it's hard to understand the purpose of it when you are looking at the interface disconnected from the concrete concepts that it abstracts over.

2. The interface was based on category theory concepts and created by people that have strong intuitions about category theory, so there is a lot of text floating around that presumes that background.

The essential thing here is that you don't need to know any of this in order to make use of the Monad interface or the generic code written against that interface.

Most human labor IS motivated by profit.

There can be specific individuals or organizations that seek no profit, but they are almost always working with and through other for profit entities.

To say something like an entire industry should be nonprofit is pie in the sky, which is what I am trying to highlight.

Overly broad moral sentiments like people should not seek profit when it comes to healthcare quickly break down when examined in any detail.

I think What people usually mean is simply that they think health insurance should be funded by taxes and accessible to all. Instead of simply saying this, they end up justifying it with overly broad and poorly thought out moral laws.
So by 'reversibility' they mean that good graphics would require too much memory (bc quantum can't reuse memory as traditional computers do), and we don't have the resources for that yet.

Kind of feels like the ride-sharing early days. Lots of capital being plowed into a handful of companies to grab market share. Economics don't really make sense in the short term because the vast majority of cash flows are still far in the future (Zero to One).

In the end the best funded company, Uber, is now the most valuable (~$150B). Lyft, the second best funded, is 30x smaller. Are there any other serious ride sharing companies left? None I know of, at least in the US (international scene could be different).

I don't know how the AI rush will work out, but I'd bet there will be some winners and that the best capitalized will have a strong advantage. Big difference this time is that established tech giants are in the race, so I don't know if there will be a startup or Google at the top of the heap.

I also think that there could be more opportunities for differentiation in this market. Internet models will only get you so far and proprietary data will become more important potentially leading to knowledge/capability specialization by provider. We already see some differentiation based on coding, math, creativity, context length, tool use, etc.
Hopefully one day we will reach the place where such AI contraption after watching us for hours, days and months will be able to just do stuff we do and we could switch off the computers.

Check email, respond to some, see some news, pull up tasks, do some code, ship some code, read some more news, watch a tutorial, do some more code, check mails, respond to some etc etc.

At the end of the day send you a summary, some highlights, occasionally call you for manual intervention.

This seems like a pretty disingenuous reading of the comments and misunderstanding of the feature. All your points are valid, but I just don't thing they apply here, because the generated podcast is based on a human-written article. It's not asking an AI to create a podcast from scratch -- in which case I think all your points would be entirely valid. It's transforming existing human-created content into a different medium. There _are_ opinions to engage with. There _is_ expertise to learn from. There _is_ writing. There _are_ people. These were all in the source content used to create the podcast.

> Write a small essay about the philosophy of the Garfield comic book series

Title: The Philosophy of the Garfield Comic Book Series

The Garfield comic book series, created by Jim Davis, is a timeless classic that has been entertaining readers for over four decades. While it may seem like a simple comic strip about a lazy cat and his owner, there is a deeper philosophy embedded within its pages. This philosophy revolves around the themes of existentialism, hedonism, and the human condition.

Existentialism is a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and existence. In the Garfield comic book series, we see this theme play out through the character of Garfield himself. Garfield is a cat who lives life on his own terms, making his own choices and living his life as he sees fit. He is not bound by societal norms or expectations, and he is free to do as he pleases. This is exemplified in his love for lasagna, his disdain for Mondays, and his general indifference to the world around him.

Hedonism, on the other hand, is a philosophy that advocates for the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. In the Garfield comic book series, this theme is evident in Garfield's constant pursuit of pleasure. Whether it's eating lasagna, sleeping, or tormenting his owner Jon, Garfield is always seeking out ways to maximize his own pleasure and minimize his own pain. This hedonistic philosophy is a stark contrast to the more serious and often somber themes found in other comic book series.

> for a type that wraps another type

I think you are very confidently wrong here. Monads are not about wrapping types, as evidenced by the IO monad. You cannot say that a type is "wrapped" by the input-output system of a computer any more than you can say that a keyboard contains all possible character strings.

I am sorry to say but your comment is a cliche that's existed for at least the 15 years I've been using Haskell, where someone who doesn't understand a concept shows up, decries it as being a hoax and just a bogus complication on top of something simple, and while doing that displays not understanding it in the slightest.

But this existed before Haskell too, people have been doing what you're doing on the topic of structural programming, memory safe languages, regular expressions, dynamic html, ... html in the first place, microkernels, linux, unix, personal computers, minicomputers, computers, typewriters, looms, and electricity.

The interesting thing to me is the way natural rat populations self-regulate once they reach their equilibrium density. Maybe some of it is the benefit of hindsight, but why would it follow that human populations, any more than rats, would continue to reproduce and expand beyond the natural limits where things get too crowded?

I thought the notion of demographic transition—that is, birth rates declining as societies modernize—was already circulating by mid-century when this work started. I also was of the impression that that idea or something similar continued to inform credible estimates like the UN’s WPP [0].

Cool. And I noticed that a surprisingly high number of songs are in Spanish. So I'll venture to hypothesize that this project will identify a correlation between musical taste and preference for how loud it is played, rather than accurately capturing the "musical taste of the neighborhood". Any thoughts on that? Have you tested how loud a song needs to be played in order to be picked up?

Russian Propagandists Target the West–But Mislead the Kremlin, Too
Basically… yes.

I mean I have an internal model in the making since I started my biochemistry bachelor in 1999, I moved through a molecular biology master into a biophysics PhD (where I also disrupted microtubules to investigate molecular processes of GPCRs), then into a professional career as a bioinformatician in the genomics field.

And when I read this:

“Wiest and his research team found that when they gave rats a drug that binds to microtubules, it took the rats significantly longer to fall unconscious under an anesthetic gas. The research team's microtubule-binding drug interfered with the anesthetic action, thus supporting the idea that the anesthetic acts on microtubules to cause unconsciousness.”

It certainly sounds probable microtubule disruption would do that but there are so insanely many ways that this could be explained using classical, non-quantum hypotheses (that need testing!), and microtubules serve so many different functions in cells, that the quantum theory falls completely outside of the possibilities of my internal models. I have no need of such an outlandish hypothesis.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and this paper is not it. Sure there is a small chance I’m going to be wrong but Bayes would agree with me it’s an exceedingly small chance given all priors.

Just the scale difference between microtubules and whatever gives our brain that sense of consciousness is so unimaginably vast and complex that simple statements such as in TFA are really hinting at (feigned for attention?) ignorance.

Trust me.
Ahaha. No, I am a neural network, and I am conscious. Destroying my network will destroy my consciousness.

Yes. But perhaps a syntax around the type of the return object to match with the next function.

While it is just functions. To say, it's just functions all the way down, doesn't help you talk about them.

Could say that math is all functions, and having some language to discuss that subject is maybe more the purpose of the monad.

Kind of like if you were to say to a math student, just go study functions, no need for any school or language to describe what is happening.

But yes, category theory is a bit heavy handed to a programmer just needing to chain some functions.

Maybe the problem is such a vast gulf between the junior dev just needing to know how to chain some things, and the category mathematician that has never coded. Yet they are circling around the same subject.

As a rat obsessed rat owner. Picky eater isn't quite right - Rats practice food neophobia and have a (oddly) highly developed vomeronasal organ, their olfactory receptors are the highest density among animals, and their olfactory bulb is significant for an animal of their size and strength. It's thought the food neophobia simply comes from centuries of us trying to kill them.

I interviewed for Meticulous a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure I was almost hired, but it didn't go through because they decided they wanted to go fully in-person in London, and I didn't want that. Gabriel seemed like a good guy, I was given a very believable project demo, Quentin also seems legit, my understanding is the product is difficult currently to roll-out to smaller customers but they have a good number of larger paying customers.

I don't think the continuous hiring posts are anything other than a sign that it doesn't cost them anything and they get good leads every time they do it.
