I'm not sure how much that would mean swinging from the rafters of [insert intolerant country]. The white supremacists will maybe lose their jobs or reputation, but the consequences could be much more dire in retaliation.

I think this is actually a majority of everyone working on anything remotely related to artificial intelligence post-Searle.

Only if you broaden the definition of computation to be so general it includes everything.

Keep pushing it down the road until you realize it's a pipe dream problem.

Of course it isn't, because AGI is not real.

Both WireGuard and OpenVPN

This reminds me of something I read nearly ten years ago and have tried finding since - I'm hoping somewhere here can help.

It was an article or paper about analogies being dangerous in the sciences and leading to misconceptions, even among the learned. As best as I can remember, there was an example of graduate students in physics, at either Cambridge or Oxford, who overwhelmingly had an inaccurate view of concepts in physics based on toy explanations and Nova specials etc.

This isn't what is happening though. Philosophers keep poking holes in AGI arguments, previously Strong AI, and techbros keep using a new term, each more ambiguous than the last. The hope, it seems, is to use this ambiguity to prevent pointed criticism that would prevent investment and adoption.

I don't keep up with the AI space at all, but have they become victims of trademark confusion, a la Kleenex?

He might be surprised to learn how many papers published in STEM are cargo cult science.

Nice try, FBI

I was always partial to how many universities in the UK call it "computing"

I think they actually might be trying to show that both Democrats and Republicans in New Mexico are in agreement on the issue, in an attempt to show that it is -not- political. I could be mistaken, but that's been my impression from other media in New Mexico.

There has been an increase of self-defense related shootings in New Mexico, and although the state has usually acknowledged some form of castle doctrine in your own home that isn't typically tempered by any duty to retreat. Gun violence, and crime in general, is fairly high in New Mexico, and is likely responsible for the increase of self-defense cases, but nevertheless, that state has been filing charges, or at least mulling them over in traditional self-defense instances.

Here's one from earlier this year: https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/suspect-killed-in-double-home...

I can't find the specific article I read back when this happened, but they all said something about the DA was debating on whether to file charges or not.

It may seem like Alec Baldwin may be a victim of this crackdown, and perhaps he is being used politically as a show of force in their effort to curb gun crime, but I think as the producer of this film, he would've been charged before the crackdown, and likely would faces charges in most states.

In the case of my home, as the user mentioned above, consider me radicalized. If someone breaks in, I'm shooting them. I don't have the time, nor should I be required to carry out this mental calculus about the motivations of the person in my home. If you're in my house uninvited, the onus is on the intruder not to be shot. Luckily, I live in a state that agrees with me.

The other situations are circumstantial, but if I am being accosted by someone in public, I'm drawing on them. As a pizza delivery driver in my younger years, this happened a lot more than I would have liked. No one got shot because they retreated. If they made a motion towards their waist, back, or lunged, they would have been.

In this case, I have issued a warning that this will end badly if you continue, and any further threatening act will get them shot.

If you're talking about witnessing a robbery, even of my own property, and the thief running away, then no, that is insane.

This is exactly how most confrontations end, especially if the assailant is not armed with a firearm as well - this is their most effective use. The armed victim shows the gun and they run away. It never turns into the Hollywood bloodbath opponents of firearms think that it will.

I don't know who this is true for, but I am proud of the fact that I was armed and able to protect my pregnant wife. I feel absolutely no remorse for it. I didn't enjoy it and the entire situation was unpleasant at the time.

Had the situation had been different, say I was alone and it was merely a robbery by some kid or something, sure, I would feel differently if I killed them (and I wouldn't). I just don't accept the initial premise of your statement for my experience and those I have spoken to in similar situations.

I love Kazdin, great additional suggestion. I didn't know there was a course on Coursera though, thanks for sharing!

Absolutely. It's amazing how concisely she lays it all out too. I hope people don't think I'm being sarcastic when I say that it is the perfect example of how a guide/tutorial should be written. The book could also be named the Mythical Dad-Week.

This suggestion is humorous, but absolutely true: Potty Training In 3 Days.

Before having children, I thought I was fairly empathetic and introspective, but raising a child helped me realize how superficial those traits in myself were.

I'm being completely honest when I say this book made me a better leader and project manager - having a better understanding of the motivations of others, incentivizing those looking to you for guidance based on their own goals/desires, providing those with tools they need to succeed, and taking a macro view of a problem and allowing those under me to flourish and find creative ways to solve problems that take advantage of their strengths and idiosyncrasies.

I'm in no way suggesting that you infantilize those around you, just that teaching my toddler to shit opened my eyes to the way I approached problems, and Brandi Brucks' book helped me approach things differently with great success!

Against Method. I had an incredibly rigid understanding of how to do science that was more performative, but Feyerabend opened my mind to approaching my exploratory research in a more chaotic and creative manner.

Not in trades. These students will graduate with years of experience, taking the website explanation at face value. There isn't something akin to ABET, or even FE/PE exams for these skills, but if they can count their work experience while in school here, they can become licensed tradesmen in states with work and apprenticeship requirements.

I don't think the student who who attend a trade school like this would care in the slightest that it isn't accredited. Taking them at their word that they teach five trades, offer employment at a local construction company, and set students up with an apprenticeship, these students could care less about accreditation or a degree. They'll finish with several years of experience in a trade.

I was curious if everyone was doing the lottery like Ontario - it seemed like an absolute mess and the quality was embarrassing.

The prices have dropped in the black market also. I assume a lot of dealers are buying wholesale or clearance product and reselling it in many cases. Either way, I have consistently noticed street prices being cheaper than dispensaries, and they don't include the 16-36% tax. Additionally, at least in the United States, people still seem extremely concerned with the process of having an ID scanned at the stores etc. I've watched people walk out because of it and almost -everyone- asks privacy-related questions.

I sincerely doubt that, especially considering the poor quality, legal marijuana that is available in Toronto and the distribution of dispensaries. This certainly isn't true here in the US, where it seems the only people who are buying at the dispensaries are people on vacation. Why pay $44 per ounce with a 30%+ tax when you can just call a friend?

The author has updated the article to name Parabola as the distribution preferred by the FSF.

There is nothing "technically correct" about having an opinion on how important glibc and coreutils are to the operating system and including an acknowledgment in the name. This is a normative claim that I'm not particularly interest in. I call it Linux and don't plan to change, nor do I roll my eyes into the back of my head when someone calls it GNU/Linux. Okay, I lied about the last part.

Can anyone point to where the FSF has indicated that Manjaro is its preferred distribution?

You forgot systemd.
