I've used Beeper for about a year with Facebook, Signal, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and iMessage. Instagram signs me out once a month or so for security suspicions, but I just reconfirm my account with 2FA. Other than that, no issues.

The course is free and funded by Open Philanthropy.

It's not taught by James solely, but there's weekly discussion groups on readings chosen by a mix of alums from OpenAI and Oxford's Future Of Humanity Institute.

What a shame, especially that the dome reflector was damaged too. I remember visiting in person and being awestruck by the sheer size and engineering skill needed to make this. Plus it provides needed tourism revenue for PR; I hope it's not abandoned.

My favorite quote from the article; "start off your book with a statement such as, 'None of the data in this book matters.' "

We got similar news at Cornell today, with professors being advised to go online asap but will be forced to in early April which is also when students will be sent home. The problem here is that most upperclassmen live off-campus and can't be forced to disperse. Furthermore, many students are from NYC where they'll visit during spring break and then come back to Ithaca. The atmosphere on campus is very nonchalant; most are more upset by cancelled events than the possibility of encountering the virus.

And 60+ years later their guess is semi-confirmed by this study; if humans want to be in space for a long time they'll need artificial gravity to avoid most of the harms mentioned in the article. Amazing that 90% of his genes returned to normal expression. I wonder how long humans can withstand microgravity before that number drops severely, or if it's a gradual decline...

Does this violate any of the Google or Apple's Play Store TOS? People are calling for the government to step in but a quicker move would be to remove them from the app store; at least if there's a violation.

I was in one of Hopcroft's courses (an author of this book) for a while and if this book is on brand with his style and fields of study, it's super theory heavy. You won't write a line of code; you would not be useful to a company hoping to apply data science in the world.
