Further supports the notion that understanding the neocortex is the key to understanding intelligence.

"It is immature or silent for the first several days after formation," Prof Tonegawa said.

What's going on during those first several days? It's probably re-arranging it's model of the world to account for those new memories.

"The idea you need the cortex for memories I'm comfortable with, but the fact it's so early is a surprise."

The neocortex is constantly making predictions about the future, so it makes sense that it has some short term memory of its own to make those predictions from.
I don't think it's fair to assume an ex-employee knows the details of the software licenses or where to find them. If he knows more concrete details (like a link to the license file) I imagine he would share, but otherwise invoking NDA is a safety measure to avoid sharing potentially incorrect/outdated info.
Bug Tracking: Why It’s a Must and What Tools to Use
they added a new silent install feature in version 2.2:

"We've added a new semantic.json setting autoInstall which allows for silent install when Semantic UI is used in CLI environments, making testing more streamlined."
This is kinda terrifying. I can't put my finger on why exactly but dang.
I think this is missing the point. For me, semantic class names have lead to very maintainable websites/apps that I've been able to completely redesign without touching much of the HTML, which is usually much harder to change in larger dyanmic applications. It's also made it much easier on teams I've worked with because the designers could quickly dig into the styles to make tweaks in a central location (single source of truth) without rummaging through our entire codebase to modify appearances of things (separation of concerns).

When I first discovered csszengarden.com, I realized the point of CSS and its power. HTML was made for hypertext and semantic content structure and CSS was made for appearances. Either one could be completely replaced partially or wholly, separate of each other. Classes are like interfaces[0] which allows for HTML to remain dumb and decoupled from presentation. When the HTML and CSS are hardcoded to specific design concepts themselves, then the usefulness of CSS as in "cascading style sheets" is nearly eliminated. These concepts aren't a fad, this is good software architecture brought to you by an international consortium who's been thinking about it for decades.

It sounds like you may actually be in accord with the author. His point seems to be a reminder that, as I think you are in part saying, mathematical formalism -- and physics -- don't have answers to many fundamental questions, yet it is tempting and can even appear more "serious" to jump to conclusions, especially when jumping to another field, and act as if they do.

"Classifying consciousness as a material problem is tantamount to saying that consciousness, too, remains fundamentally unexplained."

So it appears that he's reminding us that the map is still largely blank, with only some terrain filled in.

This hits my ears almost like an echo of Plato's Apology, wherein Socrates claims that if the Delphic oracle is correct and he is indeed wiser than others, it is only because he has a better grasp of his own ignorance.

One IBM dealer not being willing/permitted to sell you OS/2 pre-loaded on anything other than a PS/2 is a very different thing to OS/2 requiring a PS/2. That you continue to conflate the twain is an error, and a repetition of a long since debunked myth.

This was written in 1995, and was far from the first debunking of this myth:

* http://www.mit.edu/activities/os2/faq/os2faq0201.html

The unwillingness of that one IBM dealer was almost certainly far more to do with the structures of the Microsoft licensing deals for pre-loaded systems than any mythical requirement of a PS/2. This came to light some years later; around the time of the US DOJ anti-trust case.

To learn how for a quarter of a century you've erroneously been ascribing things to the myth that OS/2 required a PS/2 when in fact your one IBM dealer was merely part of a larger and complex picture of licensing deals and royalty payments involving pre-loading Windows on IBM machines versus pre-loading anything else, start here:

* http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/368660.stm

* http://www.theregister.co.uk/1999/06/04/ibm_witness_the_insi...

There is a lot more to read than just those two, of course.
The equivalent of the Fed's fund in th UK is SONIA, not LIBOR. SONIA is for overnight interbank lending, and I believe is "controlled" (with the BoE pushing the rate where it wants by using its unlimited supply of funding to manipulate supply and demand) in the same way as in the US.

But these days pretty much the whole term structure of the yield curve is manipulated by central banks (see Operation Twist for instance).
> The reason we need semantics in HTML is to make the markup accessible for screen-readers

Not sure about the screen-readers but when you add a class for, say, "small", it's a bit confusing because you can't guess how it is used when looking from the CSS side. One day, you decide to represent the unimportant text as grey (bad idea) and then you need to find all instances of .small that are used for the unimportant content and change them to .grey (then you discover there already is a class named gray, oh the horror) whereas if you used .unimportant as a class name, your change would be a single line of CSS. Also, "h1 .unimportant { color: something-not-grey }" is way clearer than ".bold.big .small { color: something-not-grey }".

Owning Your Code Is Better
Arduino and Raspberry Pi are definitely two of the big learning platforms and communities. Arduino is more skewed towards the Things part and Raspberry Pi to the Internet part. For projects and "Hello world" examples you have Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/

Which actually maps pretty well to the two main developers of IoT in my experience, Electronic focused people to Arduino and Sofware focused people to Raspberry Pi.

Are we? We've been around for a fraction of the time and nearly gone extinct at least once (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory). We also have a tendency to build absurdly interconnected systems so a single failure has ripple effects, we see this in things like the late bronze age collapse where most civilizations in the Mediterranean disapeared (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Bronze_Age_collapse).

"A bit over a third of poor people (in the US) do work"

This sentence is not wrong but a casual reading of it would nearly always give the wrong impression. Herein "poor people" is defined as the people below the federal poverty limit. For one person this is around 12000 dollars.

A more common sense colloquial definition of poor is those barely scraping by based on the cost of living in their area of residence. In most of those considered poor by that broader definition someone in the household is working. Remember that not all families have both partners working.

Your perhaps too brief post would inspire people to think that most people by the common sense definition of poor are in fact unemployed which is not correct.
So semi related, been in software for 20 years and contemplated getting a Motec w e-throttle for my (road legal) race car "no f-king way" is my thought process, I've got a race engine management system but no way I'm having anything other than a cable between me and the throttle body. I love software, I love engineering, I love what an e-throttle can do for traction control. But there will always be bugs with software ...I'd trust a road car with massive engineering teams, I struggle with the thought of a smaller team and how it could possibly go wrong. I personally get where he's coming from ... I can't imagine single engineers being able to test and have foresight on the umpteen permutations of "what-if"

Looks like Coursera might have a few applicable classes. I found this: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/iot

IoT is basically the convergence of EE, software, and a bit of mechanical engineering. Since there are so many pre-made hardware platforms out there (Arduino, Pi, etc), you can get by only knowing circuit basics.

All software ships with bugs. Some of them cause real problems, and are patched in the next firmware rev. Farmers (rightfully) resent being held over a barrel in both time and money for fixes that should be part of already owning the machine. For example, if Ford discovers a flaw in their cars' ABS code that is recall-worthy, that's what happens, and Ford, not the customer, foots the bill.
It's not semantic, it is substantive. A maximally utilized SegWit block is larger than a maximally utilized current block.

I.e., if you were planning out how much disk space you needed years in advance, you would have to increase that figure non-negligibly if SegWit activates.
Envision a distribution where the median is far lower than the mean. (I think median in US is mid-50's, average is mid-70's.)

Then imagine what it takes to bring the median closer - you have to squash the curve (make it more progressive). You can either lop of the top end, shore up the low end, or do some combination of the two.

To get a sense of just how progressive the tax system could be, consider the rule of thumb that the value of money is roughly logarithmic.

Logarithmic tax systems have been designed - here's a simple one as a thought experiment. They call it the logarithmic flat tax. First, figure out your yearly revenue. Then, figure out how many times the poverty rate your income is. Then take the log of that number, and then multiply it by a certain flat constant that would be the same for everyone (to get the amount of tax revenue the united states needs for instance - for the united states, that would be around 9). The resulting number is the percentage of your gross that you should pay in taxes.

If you apply that to all individuals and businesses, then you have a progressive tax system that is basically equal in terms of how much it "hurts" for every payer (the value of money being roughly logarithmic). Hint, it's probably much lower than you are currently paying unless you are Apple or Exxon. Last I checked, Bill Gates roughly pays an appropriate amount.

There is a great short story with the unfortunate name "The man who came early". It's about a American GI who is stationed at Keflavik during the cold war and somehow gets thrown back in time to the Icelandic saga age. He wants to give people there so kind of technology that's much simpler than a smart phone and it all fails. Even something simple as gun powder doesn't get off the ground. They don't know how to get Salpeter. Even if the had the powder they would be missing so much technology to make the guns. As the main character says "you haven't the tools to make the tools to make the tools". Also resources.
This is true, in Ukraine we called imported chicken legs "Bush's drumsticks" (referring to Bush Sr.)

>If performance was valued above all else in a narrow sense, OpenGL would not be used and people would program GPUs natively.

People do program GPU natively on game consoles. However, with so many GPUs in use (at least three major manufacturers each with multiple architectures just for desktop) it's impractical to write native graphics code. It's exactly the same concern as people have for CPU programming - it would be the best to write ISA code but given the variety of available CPUs the C/C++ is the best compromise between performance and usability. All attempts to push "better" language with forced run-time costs have failed to displace it.

>Bounds checking is very cheap on CPUs, but even more so on GPUs because GPUs are more rarely bottlenecked on simple local arithmetic.

Good news. GPUs do bounds checking in hardware already. The errors people want OpenGL to find are not about out-of-bounds but mostly of "I want to draw this but instead it's drawing that, what to do?" kind, caused by the complex state and its dynamic nature.

Co-worker here, yeah, truly some pages of the site are not yet quite responsive, sorry for that, we plan to improve it in the future. On the site there are some particular templates designed to show the responsiveness or non-responsiveness, you could open them on smart phone or desktop computer to see the differences:

Semantic-UI gives more freedom for features like responsiveness, theme customization with 3000+ variables, although the default configurations are also very good.
I think documentation is the right way to handle this. Require enough documentation that 3rd party repair shops can fix the machines. Even if they can't do much with the embedded controllers, at least document the sensors and the wiring. Otherwise, these machines are completely useless without the manufacturer and their dealers.

Thanks for the link with details. As you can see, the proposed hard fork starts with a decrease to ~300k. The increase past 1mb starts in 2024... that is in 7 years.

It's not hard to see that this fails to meet the bar of a 2mb hard fork now. Luke is playing a game, basically saying: "you didn't specify exactly what year you wanted the block size increase in ;)"
Except for self driving stuff I was arguing about. We are not yet sure who will be liable for them. Also there is pretty much self driving in some agricultural machines, for use on the fields.

But seeing this topic I'd make it possible for farmers to mod their machinery, with a complete loss of warranty.

Imagine a modded component accidentally sending false or misleading data on the CAN bus, or not yielding the bus, or simply being incompatible with a component. These scenarios can cause serious troubles.

These stuff are not JS frameworks, a page reload does not undo a bad trial and error round.

Also the supporting tools are expensive not only for farmers and machine shos, but also for vendors. I remember the price tags for calibrated instruments from my time in automotive industry...

My cousin Sam[0] runs the environmental side of things at GetUp and is putting a lot of time and effort into raising awareness about the reef. They're currently fundraising[1] for a targeted campaign in 12 Liberal electorates with the aim of encouraging MPs to break their silence and listen to their constituents on the issues surrounding Adani and the GBR.

Full disclosure: GetUp is a politically partisan organisation with strong left leanings. But I think the work they're doing around these issues is rooted more in common sense than politics.

Is anyone else involved in any grassroots-level efforts to save the reef? I'd be interested to hear about them.

And the feeling of mis-features being the other company's fault was mutual. Microsoft people viewed the introduction of more UNIX-like features into MS-DOS/PC-DOS 2 as happening despite the strenuous objections of IBM, for example.

People do this. I've seen this happen in places that have nothing to do with IBM or Microsoft. Problems and misfeatures are all the fault of that group of incompetent outsiders in that company over there that we have a business deal with. It is rarely actually true, in my experience.
Corrected, thanks. I'll put it down to lack of sleep :P.

Awesome, and I missed the bit about constants.
It's added at a constant rate to the liquid entering the filter, so it builds up at a constant rate. However, this can be varied depending upon the filter backpressure. If the particulate load is high, you need to dose at a higher rate or else the filter will start to blind.

In practice this is based upon manual calculation and adjustment. In the place I worked, the filter room had two of these, each about 1.5 storeys high. It had a dedicated control room to operate, and the two operators would be continuously monitoring and adjusting the flow rates, dosing and other parameters to ensure efficient operation. When you have an unexpectedly dirty product or you muck up the calculations, the flow rates can become very low and that starts to cost serious amounts of money when it's a rate-limiting step in an industrial process.

When the filter becomes too inefficient, the backpressure excessively high, or the filter depth approaches the tank capacity, the metal filter plate is spun and this destroys the filter bed which is spun off. The coarse filter base is then reapplied to "regenerate" the filter.
