> Even if we can have that kind of AI, it's not a given that it will mean any of the things that the Church Of Singularity types think it will mean.

Sure, but that's because the features that the Singularity relies on are different from the kind of strong AI that Lakoff, et al., argue that we might not be able to have.

The Singularity is more about hybrid intelligence -- artificial systems that interact with human intelligence to radically transform human society and interactions. Strong AI -- in the sense of artificial systems that viewed independently are indistinguishable in behavior from human intelligence -- is neither necessary nor sufficient for the Singularity, its nearly a complete irrelevancy. In fact, strong AI itself provides by definition nothing that having humans in the first place doesn't provide, the only relevance it has is that there is kind of an intuitive argument that a likely side effect of the research necessary to get to strong AI would be learning a lot more about how human intelligence works and how external influences can interact with it, but you don't need to actually get to strong AI to get that effect.
For me personally that contrast in Vice's reporting hits pretty much my personal taste. Either give me something deep & unique or some weird & fluffy stuff. But then again I consider 4chan as one of the most amazing places on the web. It has this raw, unfiltered inside-out perspective on human life that is a one of a kind.
I doubt Metro can keep the money. There is an escheatment law whereby unclaimed money will need to be turned over to the state. It is a big hassle to them IMHO.
My apartment complex does something similar. Rent can only be paid online, and paying via Visa, MasterCard, Amex, etc costs $45. Discover costs $55. Even eCheck costs $1.95. Yes, this is on top of the cost of rent. So a $1400 rent becomes $1445 if I pay by credit card, leading to an extra $540 per year for the privilege of paying rent. They don't accept cash or check in person, so you have no choice but to pay the fees.

I really liked to play with this. Being able to create "music" without knowing anything about it.

Thought I'd share my tune with you guys and perhaps the person who made this sees it and finds it funny.

Neither of those are "Americanisms". They are just ignorant.
No thanks.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have an agreement or you shouldn't make it as solid as you can. Obviously, you should do this. I'm saying that's not enough. The perfect agreement means very little if the agreement is with someone untrustworthy.

Trustworthiness is often harder to judge than you might think because untrustworthiness and charisma seem to intersect pretty heavily to me. That leads to the unfortunate situation that assholes are likable. Boo hoo.
I liked it very much. This works well for individuals whose reading speed exceeds their speed of comprehension. For example, I tend to read way to fast for my own good and need something to pace me (only for technical texts, not fiction). This works very well. It allows me to focus on one thing at a time.
How about a game where you rape women?

I hacked together a markdown editor with previews. To allow the user to change how an image was displayed they could put space separated options in the alt text values of the syntax.

eg. ![Cute-Cat aside max500px](/path/to/img.jpg)

Aside & max500px were then picked up the CSS using the images alt attribute as the selectors.

It was a terrible hack but it worked.
>Tainted by its misogyny and embrace of consumption as a way of life, gamer culture isn’t worth saving.

Any article on 'gaming' that plays around with the word 'misogyny' in the first 10 lines is usually an article I don't like to read. But that is a whole 'nother story.

>But to define oneself by media consumption is not just unhealthy, it’s vacuous.

>But to define oneself by X consumption is not just unhealthy, it’s vacuous.

Don't we all define oneself by what we consume?

We consume food which shapes (defines) our bodies. We lift weights so we can shape, mold, sculpt and define our own bodies as we please. Is it unhealthy to label yourself a fashionista because you have a keen interest in fashion (consume fashion media), have a blog about it and love to buy new clothing?
In the example with 5 nodes and a split, it is my understanding that the two nodes can't elect a leader.

While the candidate in the smaller split receives votes from a majority of the split, there is no true majority, so no leader. The cluster is configured with the total number of nodes.

What could happen is that an already elected leader continues to think it's the leader for a while while the rest fo the cluster elects a new leader. The split leader will however fail to commit its log, and throw them away once it rejoins.

Another important detail that's missing is that node only votes once pere term, and only for a node that has an equal or higher term than itself. It will never vote twice or vote for an outdated node.

Changing the configuration is in fact handled in a special way at the end of the raft paper in a way that avoids split-brain.

[edit] Oh, the 2-node split was in fact already the leader, so it does exactly what I described. Dur...
Thanks. Oftentimes could relate, even being a 30-something male. ;-) Coming from a literature background and learned some things on the way, it sometimes feels strange.

But the moment, I was able to contribute to a open-source project I was thrilled.
That's why here we have tickets on our cards, not money. The drawback being that a ticket for one city or zone can't be used in another one. And of course, every city's ticket bundles have different sizes, just like hot dogs and buns packages.
The correct way to do that is to charge a deposit for a new card. That's how London's Oyster cards work, although it's a scam in other ways (to get the "deposit" back, you need a proof of address, i.e. if you're a tourist, you can't get the deposit back (except on some specific tube stations)).
You can do it for MTA Bus service.

If you are a regular commuter, but don't ride enough to make the unlimited card work, there's an EasyPay MetroCard[1]. It refills automatically via credit card (and you get the 5% bonus) so you never have to use the machines.

I find it suspicious that a scandal involving some blogger's personal sex life, and $10/mo Patreon sponsorships, is the source of the outrage. There is a lot of money floating around in game journalism, but "gamers" seem only outraged about small amounts of money going to women and anyone Redditors think is a "social justice warrior", seemingly especially when the people are fairly obscure and make nearly no money. How much sense does it make to target game-journalism corruption by starting with the people not getting a piece of the large corporate marketing budgets that are floating around?

It would be a more interesting exposé if people focused on actual corruption going on in the review/journalism scene. Things like EA's early-access review policies that unofficially hinge access to future titles on what scores a magazine gives. Or the large mount of money going to certain widely watched podcasts without disclosure. There was an exposé of that issue ~2 months ago (written by gaming journalists, no less) but barely anyone cared: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-07-16-blurred-lines-a... Or the kind of wining-and-dining, travel reimbursements, etc. that goes on around E3 and other trade shows.

I think it's mostly a culture war that is about game journalism pretty secondarily. Nobody cares about Ubisoft wining-and-dining a writer from The Escapist at E3, because that doesn't play into any preexisting culture war, and none of Ubisoft/Escapist/E3 are seen as "outsiders" to gaming culture.
RS is great. My wife runs a fashion blog and it's the best affiliate platform out there right now. It makes monetizing your links a cinch.

However, I have had problems with performance. I think they are just struggling to keep up with the growing scale. Resolving redirects through bit.ly to rstyle to finally the product can be very slow at times. And their image widgets are also pretty slow. I think they need to improve their CDNs. And iOS app is pretty buggy.

Theoretically, yes, but most people don't. Most big transit agencies with passes like this have calculated unused values from transit cards as part of their budgets.

I feel exactly the same way, I login, I play wow for sometimes 5 hours a week, maybe 15, I play, I challenge myself, I do my best, I try to be as non-toxic as I can and then I get out... but now I'm a misogynistic mass consumer with no soul and no culture who should feel bad.

I really hated this too, so I wrote an app a few years ago for this, to tell you exactly how much to put on your card no matter how much you have on it. [Inserts shameless plug for Metroptimizer.] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/metroptimizer-2/id649185762?....
> Think abut what you're saying. Proof that behavior cannot be predicted would require proof of a negative. Proof of a negative, or (the same thing) an evidentiary burden requiring evidence of absence, is a logical error. So this is a non-starter.

Yes, I know. That was the point of the comment in response to the parent's statement: "[human behavior] is mathematically proven to be unpredictable." But thank you for the lecture.

> Yes, true, but until those observations lead to a falsifiable theory of human behavior, it's not science.

There are plenty of theories. They are typically considered theories on motivation and behavior rather than behavior itself. It's a notable difference, but a sensible distinction. Many of these theories are falsifiable, and in fact have been falsified (e.g., expectations-based models, for example). But they are typically piecemeal, as the complexity of human motivation and behavior currently requires. If the key requirement to be considered "science" is for The One Great Unified Theory, then I agree that it will never be considered a science in my lifetime.

You seem to think psychology is all observation with no attempt at explanation, much less construction of logical theories supporting those explanations. That is not the case in my little fiefdom (though I have no doubt it is true in some disciplines, or acceptable in some journals). Much work has gone into proposing, testing, and refining many theories on motivation and behavior (e.g., reinforcement theory, goal-setting theory, social-cognitive theory or workplace behavior, job design theory, motivated action theory, etc.).

It's not perfect, and it's got a long way to go, but it's also come a long way. Yet it's hardly just observing the stars and making claims, and it's certainly shown utility in helping design systems to influence behavior.

But there, I've said my piece. I've usually got the discipline to stay out this pet topic for the HN crowd.
Its insulting. Especially the first few spoonfed sentences. Why not at the very least have the continue button come up instantly.

Can you please elaborate further here because I'm just not getting this comparison. The difference between the iPhone and other smartphones at the time had everything to do with how well Apple pulled off the display and touch abilities. The literally only thing different with this over other devices right now is that it is round, and LG has one coming very soon that is also round.

I take issue with this thesis on multiple levels, and your reply is addressing something entirely different.

This article has no content. Apparently journalism today is spewing sentences that on the surface look that they make sense, to enrage people. You need to get them angry before they had enough time to think about what they just read and realize there's nothing there. When they do get angry, they share and spread and bring pageviews and ad-dolars.

Mission accomplished, congratulations. Your news outlet just got a bit richer.

The world just got a bit worse.
I would not say that. But lets you are right. Do you know the infrastructure is involved in supporting 14% of people in the US drinking alcohol?

Pot smokers confuse... "I have one time tried smoking pot" with "14% of america consumes alcohol". It is not the same thing, but you use it as if it is. That is the lie... they knowingly or through lack of braincells from smoking pot get this point intentionally wrong.
That wasn't my experience. I just went to a ticket desk and they not only gave me my deposit back but also the remaining balance on not one but two cards. Wasn't a hassle at all.

No thanks.
You shouldn't feel guilty for playing games, but if your sense of identity consists entirely of the fact that you play games, you should maybe address that. If you're identifying yourself as "A Gamer", then you're seriously telling me that you have no characteristics which are more defining to your sense of self, to your personality, to you as a human being, than the fact that you play video games? That's messed up, and people who do it are messed up.

It is, I believe, a growing recognition of that messed-up-edness that's leading to the rise of articles about the "death of the gamer", because normal human beings (like yourself) who may have previously said "oh, I like to play video games; I guess that makes me a gamer" are now saying "oh no actually these people are all horrible and I like to play games but I am not like them; please do not get confused!".

I think "consumed" would be most appropriate.
The MTA is no doubt using the same software or maybe even the same system as the NYPD for facial recognition.

Reusing cards, or buying cards for anything other than cash, is basically like an automated license plate scanner.

Use cash, and switch cards regularly. Never give them your name or bank card to associate with their unknown record in the facial biometrics database.

I would be unsurprised to learn that this is used to get people to reuse cards in an effort to persist a unique identifier for facial matching, as the video data can be correlated with swipe logs.
Do you have a github repo for these?
As the colors are purely for aesthetic purposes, this shouldn't be too much of an issue. As long as it is pleasing to the eye for them!
Weak.

You can just buy a $20 card, pay $21, get the bonus, and then add on the remainder of the next closest $2.50 block, in a second transaction, by using the "Other Amounts" option, which permits any amount greater than $1 (including change, as in $1.99). If you can't fathom the math for this, while thinking on your feet, too bad for you.

And yeah, this takes longer, and people waiting behind you might be impatient. But this is New York, so everyone else can go fuck themselves.
You consume food; how many times has somebody asked you to tell them about yourself and you say, "Well, I like to eat food...I'd say I do it at least three times a day, maybe four if I get a bit hungry at night? I'm a big fan of lunch but I've really been exploring some new territory in breakfast lately and I've been getting to some pretty crazy stuff. I'll tell you, it's pretty wild".

Oh, you don't do that? So maybe it's possible to consume something on a regular basis without letting it define your personality.
This is why I'm so glad we can now use our contactless credit cards on the tube in London.
Poor Security Culture? Time for TEA
At the Homebrew Robotics Club we had a number of sessions on 'localization', which was as you might expect figuring out where you were in a room. Carpet was a real pain. One of my robots (wheeled) had excellent sensors and no wheel slip but I discovered that the 'weave' of the carpet would bias the whole robot to travel slightly sideways to the direction of travel, it was so annoying. I put 'pingers' in my lab, basically synchronized sources of sound and tried to do triangulation based on arrival time with limited success, the camera should be able to do much better than that. Especially if there are already 2 or three distinctive features (lights, doorways etc).

"Gamer culture" is no longer one thing and people make lots of different kinds of games, targeted to many different audiences with different values and interests.

Gamer culture has never been concretely defined, and the phenomenon you're describing is hardly new. The advances that easily accessible development tools and digital distribution have given us, however, has made this much easier.

One backlash that triggers is from people who feel a need to defend "gamer" as some kind of turf being invaded, with community norms that can't be violated (people who make "casual games", "games about queerness", or any range of other things outside a norm of hardcore+fun are "not real gamers"). Some people observing the turf-defenders of "gamerness" conclude those people are unsavory, and take this as an indication that gamer culture is unsavory.

I believe you're misrepresenting the views that you outline.

The question of who is a "real gamer" and who isn't, is a red herring. What people are most likely trying to say is that the people who play smartphone games occasionally, and the people who are heavily invested in gaming as a hobby, have an extensive knowledge of its history and many genres, who consume gaming media, are two different demographics. Despite both ostensibly playing games, they are different. To present them as equivalent is a falsehood.

Thus, people who play "games about queerness" are also different from the hardcore AAA gamer demographic. This is why "gamer culture" is not a monolith, it has many subcultures.

The ugly stuff happens when the different sides clash into each other ideologically, with lots of gratuitous and often childish flame warring ensuing in the process.

Ultimately, what you're doing is overloading the term "gamer". Your jab at 4chan also demonstrates that you don't really understand their culture all too much, either. There's toxic people everywhere, and your desire to strive away even from the term "game" and to target it to "technologists" and "interactive art fans" leads to me believe that you're either developing in genres like visual novels and interactive fiction, where again, the demographics and even core theses are radically different from AAA games, or you're partly pretentious.
