You've got the podium here- tell us specifically what we're missing by focusing on AI/ML. I am curious.
Also lived in China for a few years, and all of this is definitely true. Quite often I would be stood in line waiting while people try and load their QR codes on WeChat with their awful internet, and then after scanning the QR code have to wait while the person confirms the payment went through. Most of the time it would've been 10x quicker to just use cash. For them it may seem convenient as they've never experienced contactless bank cards, and they don't particularly care about the other people in the queue.

One thing to remember is that Chinese banks are seriously shit. The mobile app is terrible. You need to install software just to login online. You struggle even making domestic transfers. You can't pay for anything online unless you have a credit card. And going into a bank in person has to be one of the worst experiences you can have; you'll be there for at least an hour, and most likely the person you speak to has to ask their manager at every opportunity which form to go and get for you.

Damn it sucks, so no it's no surprise things like WeChat pay are a success in China.

I have no idea to be honest, I remember with all of my bank accounts I would have to download software and use a USB dongle just to login as the OP said. I think it's partly because of how awful the security on Chinese websites is, but no idea really.

tl;dr -- private blockchains make it possible to distribute a common piece of infrastructure between businesses with competing interests. The sit between the stream of new inputs and the database.

I've built one of these types of systems (kadena.io). The key differences between a replicated DB, though let's use consul instead because it's closer to a private/permissioned blockchain (distributed) and the differences are the same, are two-fold:

#1 They are designed to run in a multi-administrative context (i.e. where you don't own all the servers). Imagine running consul where you only had direct access to 20% of the nodes. You could do it, but you'll eventually have problems as it's possible for a few misconfigured servers to slow/halt/collapse the cluster. The problem is that in multi-admin you can't directly fix the troublesome servers. The system itself needs to be robust against them -- you need BFT consensus (for this and other reasons).

#2 The killer feature of private blockchains is having a smart contract language. It allows you to write and run code that runs on my servers without me having to trust/audit your code. This is only possible because of the frankly ridiculous level of security that the system provides. It is also a fundamentally new feature. For a new language that's actually appropriate for serious work (which EVM-based langs are not) take a look at Pact on the aforementioned site.

Simply, if you want to be able to host logic and data, with the infrastructure distributed among multiple administrative units (businesses/firms) that don't completely trust each other, then you end up building a "private blockchain". You need a decentralized way to replicate new information (consensus), that is robust against bad nodes (BFT), that linearizes the new information (blockchain-like), that can execute logic on your machine written by individuals that you don't trust (smart contracts), that tracks/enforces auth at every level (PPK-Sigs everywhere!).
If it's an equilateral square pyramid, the volume would be about a quarter of a cubic kilometer. If we assume humans have an average mass of 65 kg and the same density as water, that gives us room for just under 4 billion humans.

Human biology is complex. Reducing it to simple thermodynamics completely ignores factors like metabolism, psychology and microbiome.

Eating nutrient deficient/extremely tasty sweets (or junk food) has very different effects than eating nutrient dense/bland red meat or vegetables with the same calories.

Reductionism is counterproductive in this case. You should re-read the article. It describes a number of ways where human metabolism responds to calories and/or body weight in unexpected ways (hence the biology is 'complex').

> Bits cannot suffer, they simply simulate suffering.

Individual neurons do not suffer either. Yet, if you get about 100 billion of them networked in a certain configuration you give rise to a being that can suffer. If consciousness exists, it is most likely an emergent phenomenon that cannot be understood by reductionism. Your tamagotchi analogy is not accurate in this sense, it's like asking could a person who had a brain the size of a blueberry suffer?

> It takes biological matter to suffer.

I'd argue it takes a consciousness to suffer. It need not be the same as my own.

> Many animals experience suffering in a way much closer to humans and we by and large don't even concern ourselves with their suffering. Concerning ourselves with the suffering of AI seems so much less important to me.

Many people do concern themselves with their suffering as a moral imperative. Concerning ourselves should be as, if not more important IMO. The AI hypothetically can do something animals cannot do, it can tell us that it is suffering through language

A fan.

I sleep like a baby with an extremely loud fan roaring in my face, as long as the noise is consistent. Sort of like being in an airplane.

Would you fall asleep with someone whispering in your ear? Earplugs can only reduce the intensity of sounds, but the distracting part is the detail/variation/information in them. Even in a quiet room, putting in earplugs guarantees I will stay awake listening to my own heartbeat and blood flow in excruciating detail. shudder.

A sufficiently loud drone noise, on the other hand, drowns out any of the more variable noises that would keep me awake.
That was written on my laptop. Ironically enough I type better on my phone at this point.
There are 60-75 tablespoons in a pound of coffee. Which should make 30+ cups of coffee. 2 tablespoons per cup. If you're needing substantially more than that in your Aeropress you're probably being somewhat wasteful. Possibly your grind is coarser than it needs to be.
On the bright side: every job will be a dead-end when AI is very good.
From my experience NATs and gateways are still required on GCP if you want your private subnet servers to be able to, say, yum update
Experiment and try a variety of beans. You can do this by going to a good coffee shop that has multiple beans and try a different one each day. Once you build your palate you may find you never want to go back.

Worst case you decide it's not worth the extra money and can feel smug in your decision to stick with the cheap stuff.
I didn't see anything in the article that showed that people lost weight without eating less then they burn. This is still as far as I know the only way to lose weight. What's stated in the article is that different people seem to manage to maintain doing so for longer with different strategies. They give as example people who are motivated enough to work through multiple plans and stratetegies over many years and continue to do so even when the weight loss is slow.

It makes me conclude that to sustain weight loss you simply need to be very motivated, have good discispline and great patience.

It seems they adapted strategies based on people's motivation. The girl who found logging all her meals too tedious instead adopted a more exercise strategy, etc. Nothing seems related to identifying which nutrients or foods are better processed, etc, for each individual.

I'm sure there could be genetic, social, or chemical related causes to obesity, but I'm not seeing this article say that we identified any of those. It seems to all be about simply getting your act together and sticking with it.

I suspect most people who gain back the weight lost do not do so while maintening the diet they used to lose it. The article makes it sound like so, but doesn't actually says so.
This is old. And they admitted copying content in a previous post. Plus, they seemed to publish names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of people without a clear chain of consent. And their lack of understanding how Google Sheets works, their "great content" is destroyed.

> I still tend to skip my turns and just watch the others as gamepad based aiming in shooters tends to get me really frustrated.

This is why I liked the controls in goldeneye, perfect dark and timesplitters. They had consoles in mind from the ground up so the embraced the lack of precision controls with things like auto aiming and level design (mostly flat). Every other console shooter (including all since Halo) has tried to use controllers as though they're a keyboard/mouse.

The control scheme was also modal, where you'd have to hold down a button and not move if you wanted precision aiming.
You are correct, and I think the volatility criticism was not directed to the tech or design, but to lack of trust in exchanges, unclear valuation, and emotional market participation.

Yes, I see your point that a developer could just use a stock RPi to get started, and switch up to RevPi for production use. But this guy wants your sexy case in cardboard.
Great observation! In my experience, too, there's a tradeoff between creativity and precise thinking. Namely creative people often have some inherent randomness built into their brains, and precision comes later with more effort; while always-precise thinkers are usually not the most creative. In my teams, I try to balance the two.

I went through a phase a few years ago where I'd fall asleep only to wake up a short time later with mind racing, then be up half the night and tired the next day. This went on for some months and was very annoying.

These videos cured that phase right away. I don't listen to them much anymore but they really worked. It wasn't just staying asleep that was cured, the quality of the sleep seemed much better. Still listen on occasion if having trouble getting in "sleep mode".

This is simple advice, but was effective for me after some practice. For months, I had to fall asleep listening to podcasts because my brain would be thinking about work. I just couldn't shut it off.

I decided I couldn't live that way, so I worked on breathing techniques like this. After a couple of weeks, I could finally focus on breathing long enough to fall asleep.

It depends on your risk profile. If you're using it to bypass NetFlix region controls a VPN service would be fine. If you're using it to circumvent an oppressive regime with extreme consequences you should control the hardware yourself.

What's "fully dependent"? If A going away makes B go away, I'd say that's pretty dependent. Shifting goal posts from that to "major difference" is silly, you could argue for anything that way, there are major differences even between individual people, even between individual mass produced screws, it's just a matter of resolution.

Anyway, nothing in the universe is separate from anything else in it, and even if it wasn't, and entitites (supposedly) being separate from another and "just on a machine" are apples and oranges, not opposites. This doesn't seem very thought through.

Simulated consciousness is simply not consciousness, "emergent" or not. It's simulated, simulations can be terminated, restarted, removed, etc.

You cannot take something, simulate it by implementing it entirely differently and call it equivalent. Consciousness in its true form simply cannot be experienced by a machine as it may be able to simulate it to an extent, but cannot experience it in a remotely comparable way.

Discussing consciousness in this abstract way is entirely meaningless and serves no value though - you cannot tell if something is conscious or a simulation at all to begin with. Or even conscious at all really. In the end, code is code and nothing more. Just because it simulates a neutral network doesn't make it immoral to rm -rf it more than anything else.

Say you have a pointer to the start of an array and a pointer to a certain element and you want to turn that into an index. Not super common, but not a crazy special case either. I'm not sure why the other poster thought this was a limitation on the 68000 though as subtraction is one of the few arithmetic operations you can perform on address registers. Perhaps he/she confused the limitations of the AU (address unit) with limitations on address registers? The AU is used for calculating effective addresses and all it can do is add; however, normal add and sub instructions use the ALU even when working exclusively with address registers.

There are a bunch of other operations that you can't do on address registers (or at the very least, an address register can only be used for the effective address operand). This can be inconvenient if your code needs a bunch of registers, but not very many pointers. Not a huge deal otherwise.

which is vague, abrupt and unsubstantiated -- the article makes no mention of mining in the current day. Am I the only one who finds this odd?

Animals up to rhesus monkeys which reduce their caloric intake have reduced incidence of age-related and of all-cause mortality [1], and this is conserved - at least - in rats, mice, fish, flies, worms and yeast [2]. While the fuel itself may not be expensive, there is evidence that consuming/using it is anything but. These studies are for obvious reasons difficult to conduct in humans, though I would be very surprised if they weren't under way, and time will tell.
