neltnerb 21 hours ago [-] “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” reply Kinrany 20 hours ago [-] I don't find this proverb convincing. The best time may be only marginally better than the actual second best time. It's main value is that it's a personal Schelling point (see also [1]) for doing the thing. "Now" is not a good Schelling point because it's the same as "in a minute" or "in an hour". [1]: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Kbm6QnJv9dgWsPHQP/schelling-fences-on-slippery-slopes

coronavirus epidemic? don't worry, hackernews is on the case brigandish 9 hours ago [-] We all seem to be talking about guesstimates and data we can't be sure of, but I see little talk of what we can do. If this were a tech problem - a big problem that seemed insurmountable - I would break it down into chunks as best I could, look at all the parts of the chain, and ask myself which I could be most effective in tackling first. Treat it like a sprint. Which part of the chain would that be? With the caveat I'm not a domain expert, obviously, I'd go for the lack of testing kits - what makes testing for something like this so hard and so hard at scale? Maybe it isn't and it's the supply of kits. Is this not something that is also "fixable"? There's a lot of intelligent and capable people on this forum, why not throw some pasta at the wall?

google chrome is going to hide full urls. why? let's head over to hn to find out cletus 1 hour ago [–] "SJW" is a pejorative at this point because the key part isn't about the ideas being expressed but the motivations behind advocating those views. It implies that despite outward appearances it's all rather self-serving, a form of getting validation and superficial virtue signaling. So when you see major rewrites, major redesigns and controversial changes in popular products you'll often find an agenda behind it. Someone making a name for themselves, getting promoted, trying to become a "thought leader" [1] and so on. But this self-serving motivation is always wrapped up in a much purer rationalization. These people tend to be the weeds in any organization. Left unchecked they'll grow to the point of pushing out everything else. They need to be pulled out roots and all. Some will be doing this knowingly to "get ahead". Others are simply lying to themselves. And these are often the worst. So whenever you see anything about "protecting users", be skeptical. Look for the SJWs pulling on the strings. [1]: As an aside, pretty much anyone who posts to LinkedIn should forever be excluded from a leadership position of any kind. That's my handy tip for the day.

Yup. That's me. I hate lovely band-aid code. I love perfection. I'm Michelangelo - but that by definition makes me a loner. I love staring at my code and contemplate on it's beauty just like the result of the code working. I'm perfect at one-man projects. I hate processes, standups, scrums and all that team playing bullshit. I love customers and bosses who are trusting and freedom giving. I love beers, steaks, good food and team gatherings - and i love people whom i am "working" with - but everyone knows i am working on something that is NOT "let get this poo poo done quickly and push this out of the door by next friday". That's not me. Although I'm the one my boss comes to with "i don't know how but can you do something about it tomorrow"? I'm good and super sharp focusing and delivering on my own. If i need help - I'll ask. I'm all for skunkworks. I debug my code myself, using techniques i polished myself over the years and I'll end up with lightbulb that will last 100 yrs. Not the one that cost $3 and requires full replacement after 3.5 weeks of light usage. I try not to buy stuff made in China. I love stuff made in Europe or Japan. So, don't push guys like me into your "processes" and "change managements" wasting pipeline bullshit. I won't fit. I speak at conferences. I do evil harmless things. I violate countless stupid compliance rules. I take risks no one knows about. I don't follow rules, and pretty much skip reading them when i can. I do my best to deliver masterpieces. One piece at a time. Downvote me.

xwolfi 5 hours ago [–] This cancel culture thing where a few negative cancels all the good you could have done is really weird. Voltaire is racist, Washington had slaves, this or that twiteroo said 10 years ago some kind of sorry thing, McAfee killed and frauded. Look it's all kinda true and all kinda irrelevant. People are more than the 10% of the time they sinned. I sure have sinned, and I sure hope you'll still find me valuable as a human.

alexandriao posted:I want whatever drugs this guy is (not) taking halfjoking 17 hours ago [–] Yeah I agree I'm worrying too much - it's basically ruining my life. I don't want to sign a lease for an apartment because I think I'm fleeing the country or losing my job. So I admit it. I am paranoid about the US government - but I have reason to given the Snowden leaks and how they treat Assange. So let's say they are pure evil, and wanted to do aerosols... well maybe they tried that already, but the chemtrails didn't work out. Maybe Chemtrails were too inefficient as a delivery mechanism. How would they ensure 100% coverage? When they are manufacturing billions of doses to deploy in planes, how would they justify the cost? How would they get it delivered to citizens of other countries? How would they hide what they're doing from everyone given the huge amount of manufacturing needed? The only way to insert a biological backdoor is to hide it in plain sight. To make it a vaccine that everyone, worldwide, including those already infected with the virus absolutely needs. reply

also, wrt the security thing, making bug-free hardware is orders of magnitude harder than making bug-free software that does the same thing, and making patching difficult/impossible isn't exactly good for security. and there have been recentish high profile cases of os writers having to scurry round putting in software workarounds for hardware security flaws

i'd say there's like three main reasons hw is less visibly buggy than sw: 1) a poo poo-ton more effort put into verification, since once you make it you're stuck with it 2) interfaces are generally low-level, which are easier to specify and test 3) firmware/drivers can work around bugs, and not expose features which are irrevocably broken (this happens a ton, just not generally in public) if everything moves to hw then 2 is gone, 3 is looking dubious and any project manager is going to look at 1 and think "hmm maybe we could do this in software and ship two years sooner"

javajosh 9 minutes ago | parent | next [–] >credible allegations I truly wish that allegations of any and every sort were considered not credible by the general public. Domestic abuse is a real problem, but false allegation of domestic abuse is a real problem, too. Indeed, if a person wants to harm another without lifting a finger, the simplest thing to do is claim "He hurt me" or "I'm afraid of him" and you'll get every cop, judge, attorney, a legion of your friends, and family, maybe some of his too, on your side. Because to even doubt a woman's allegation is to condone violence against women, making you no better than an abuser yourself. This isn't against women. How many of us, given such an arbitrary and powerful weapon, would have the character not to use it, especially against someone we hate for personal reasons? "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," and yet here we are, giving scorned women the literal power of life and death over the object of their rage. That the accused does not have recourse, neither in a court of law nor in public opinion, goes without question. The solution is not to lament the lack of self-restraint, but to take this unfair power away. Accusation is not guilt, and we need to stop assuming that every accusation is credible. malwarebytess 22 minutes ago | prev | next [–] His ex-wife posted on the forum. Basically she pursued 3,500/mo alimony and about 90,000 cash, and won a judgement in court. Lowtax apparently had a weak moment and decided the best way out of that was suicide. Can't say I blame him. Dude was broke, deep in addiction, lost everything, became public pariah, and now was financially hosed forever. Courts are wildly imbalanced against men.

ol musky is killing monkeys in his brain implant experiments. hn is on the case radu_floricica 53 minutes ago | prev | next [–] Even assuming what they're reporting is true (which having read IIAOPSW's comment above now seems rather unlikely) I don't see the situation as terrible. "15 of 23 monkeys died" is in itself meaningless. We don't know how long they intended to keep them alive anyways - a reasonable protocol in this kind of studies is "have procedure, observe for X weeks, then have an autopsy to take a closer look at what actually happened". TBH, that's pretty much what I expect they do - I wouldn't want that in my head without them actually looking at brains under a microscope to check for unexpected side effects. They're also using monkeys - which yes, look cute, but are not primates. If I'd hear chimps, for example, I'd expect them to be implanted long term, and be much more careful and sparing with autopsies. Also most of the issues in the article don't directly touch neuralink technology but generic brain surgery stuff like infection. So worst case scenario they should improve their procedures, but there it doesn't say anything there's inherently bad about the tech. And on a second reading of the article I realize I can't really get much cold info out of it. It reads a lot like somebody got gossip over a few beers and posted on social media and a reporter took it from there. throwaway_4ever 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] Trolley problem. I wish most Neuralink detractors would even attempt to understand the problem scope, trade-off, and everything that's at stake here in our lifetimes. "Elon Musk wants more $" is such a brain-dead take. The reasoning behind Neuralink is explained here: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html#part4 TL;DR Some of the smartest people in the world consider AGI an existential threat and Neuralink is the leading hedge that instead of competing against AGI in futility, we augment ourselves to become the AGI instead.
