This is too dismissive, I think you are reading too much into words like "release".

Learning to love yourself and to let go of things gives you a new perspective. A new perspective leads to new thinking and new experiences, and we all know our brains are plastic and are constantly changing.

You are the fool, not he.
As a CS professor, I have to create lots of exercises for my students so I keep my brain occupied with these kind of things, trying to simplify my examples on each iteration. I find that it is very hard but very gratifying to simplify things. Also, much easier to explain to students.

Also, when I come across algorithms such as the Sieve of Erathostenes which was discussed recently here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15408506), I do them to keep my skills and reasoning up to date..

Other times, I do some project euler problems, etc.. In even other times, if a blog post is interesting I try to implement the algorithms or examples there. For instance, there was quite recently a discussion about the little book of Operating Systems, and I've built the bootloader example and learned a little bit more about 2nd stage bootloaders and NASM Assembler.. Things like that..

I find that it is more efficient to learn lots of small things and join them with what you already know previously in your brain, than trying to learn bigger things..

I'm learning more and more about this by talking to my wife's doctors, and you're right in the sense that there are some forms of depression that can be cured, but sadly not all.

I'm broadly generalizing here, but depression caused by a physical condition (e.g. an autoimmune deficiency) can typically be cured by attacking the underlying cause, but depression caused by a psychiatric condition is much harder to "cure" in the traditional sense and instead can be managed via modern pharmaceuticals. Now, those drugs come with some strings attached, but if they help a patient get out of the bed and function in the morning (as they do with my wife) then that's a net positive, but we're realistic about the fact this is likely a life-long battle that will require constant work to stay on top of.
> "Let"? Given the limited intelligence of other Earth species, I'm unsure how else operating systems would've been developed.

I suspect that you missed fhood's joke, or else I missed yours.

(It is not unreasonable to suppose that another path to the existence of operating systems would be the, perhaps human-guided, evolution of progressively less primitive programs. I am not sure that I'd want to use the result, but it's at least a conceiveable way for history to have developed.)
I am interested in this position.

> So are you saying consciousness doesn't exist (Chinese room argument)

Interesting interpretation.... It's amazing how meta that problem gets. I'd like to point out, however, that you're casually bandying about the term "consciousness" as if it's a well-defined term. The main benefit of Searle's use of "understanding" is that it's a narrow facet of what humans consider when we hear "consciousness", it's universal, and it's extremely difficult to define in "realism" terms. Perhaps you would make more headway if you considered defining "consciousness" in narrower terms?

Of course, that entire thought experiment fails if you don't consider the experience of "understanding" to be meaningful. I don't have any strong sentimentality towards the concept; I don't see any reason we couldn't achieve Strong AI in the sense that Searle argued against (and the parent poster appears to argue for).

Any browser crash is a bug and should never happen for any input. If browser is smart enough to run separate process for different pages, this is little annoyance indeed. I remember when crashed page caused entire browser to crash and often lose open tabs. That wasn't little annoyance. Also some clever guy might figure out how to exploit this crash, I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'm not the clever one :)

I agree... I feel like advanced games will always need guidance to alter the game such that they AI don't reach some local maxima through an exploit.

This happens all the time when making games for humans and is evident by how many balancing patches are made to new, highly competitive games (such as any Blizzard title).

The next logical step would be for another, impartial AI to observe the games and changing the rules and parameters intelligently as they evolve to guide the player AI toward the actual goal.

So, I'll just dive sideways right into a religious/philosophical thought based on the simulation discussion I've been having all over the place:

A universe-sized simulation built for a purpose, which requires simulated intelligence to carry out that purpose, would almost certainly include a God intelligence to alter parameters and induce suffering/hardship to direct the simulated intelligence toward that purpose.

I have launched some micro-saas products for B2B to give you some background for me. Here is what I typicality have in place for a private beta: 1) Intercom for easy communication in-app 2) Google Analytics for general page tracking 3) Amplitude for tracking granular user actions 4) Rollbar for tracking errors when users don't report issues (you would be surprised how often users don't communicate small or even larger issues to you) 5) I make sure I have some basic self-help tools in the app for betas such as password resets, etc. That is it for basic tools I've used for SaaS betas. As for the private beta itself, I always try to schedule some in-person meets, or virtual screenshares once a week or every few weeks to get a list of issues, wants, etc. that each user has about the product, I then compile all of that feedback into Waffle or Trello so I can get a count of which issues are the most pressing or most requested. As for the funnel, I am not entirely sure what you mean, but as users give me feedback and as I work through their issues / updates I try to position the conversation as if we fix X, Y, and Z or add X, Y, and Z will you pay us (whatever amount) for the subscription. It's good to get them to commit to the next step even if its 6 months out. Also, yes it is completely okay if you take invoices vs. having an automated system. They should understand where you are at since you are not officially launched and be empathetic to that, if not, they are probably not the best fit for the beta. The biggest expectation is they are their to provide you with valuable feedback so you can make this the perfect tool for them an any future customer that looks like them. Hope that answers all of your questions.
>The author is just trying to prove that C++ modules cannot be like Java or Python modules, which apparently some people don't get.

I don't think he trys that and i don't think it's true. The committee doesn't want to that, but I don't see why it would be possible by extending the language.

Introducte a module - keyword, that works pretty much like a namespace keyword. Force the file name and path to match the name a la java. Introduce a mechanism a la "using namespace" that does import the namespace (like #include header.h) of the module and tells the build system what to build. Neither needs to become the other to do this if we forbid preprocessor commands and if constexprs around that. Allow attributes to specify visibility.

Of course it's going to be a way more complicated, but i can't see how it would be impossible.

I think c++ devs just don't want that.
Now we know what the "B" in B-tree stands for! ;)

I don't really get how this is relevant. I do wish he'd stop saying it's okay to fire me because of my experience of gender though.

Oh wait, was your point that Trump being from "another culture" and someone with many accusations of sexual assault (some under oath and not contested) is an example of how multi-culturalism is responsible for rape?

If so, say so and I'll respond to that.

I don't see as the US as being monsters, just that it seems very very important to you.

I spent a couple of years in the air cadets (youth version of the air force) and I fired rifles there. I can see reasons for it in the military. You're right it is very much a skill and a very important one in human history to be able hit a target.

Archery does something similar but I don't see people collecting hundreds of bows and arrows.

But literally I've never known someone who owns a handgun, or been in a house where there is one. Let alone automatic rifles.

I'm not saying that it's wrong or right just foreign.

> One interesting outcome of this type of AI is that no one knows what the robot's thinking

This is true -- however it's much easier to inspect the contents of an AI's thoughts/consciousness, since you can pause, rewind, disassemble, and reassemble it at will (unlike the human brain and our current pesky ethical experiment requirements).

So I think there's reason to believe that we could learn about our own consciousness through analyzing conscious AIs, particularly if they are implementations/emulations of the human brain architecture. (e.g. see the Blue Brain project that's simulating the mouse hippocampus).

Run an S-bahn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-train) through the tunnel for 10x the throughput of humans for a given tunneling cost. Cars are a profoundly inefficient use of space in a dense area.

The only way an auto tunnel network would solve traffic is by charging a sufficiently-high toll to match supply with demand. Otherwise, in an area dense enough that traffic congestion is a problem, induced demand will lead to congestion:

Yes, my friend uses ansible to store his work-pc configuration. After upgrade/replacement he just installs git, ansible and his private key and then rest of the the setup is done by ansible from playbook in his private config repo.

In my mind, though, the biggest reason I used ansible was it's simple push-through-ssh nature. I knew that if there are some maintanance tasks I would have to do by sshing from my machine to some server, I could as well create and run an ansible playbook against it. This was espacially useful for configuring ephemeral boxes spawned on i.e. openstack where I know it will have ssh running and that is it.
Whatever the reason might be for us remembering, my point still stands that by retelling the story we make it so that disrespecting others and their belief was indeed the right thing to do for him to be remembered, that is what lead to his goal being reached.

If the same thing happened but the story wasn't passed on, then it would not have been the right path to reach his goal.

For a modern reference, that is why I'm a strong supporter of not propagating the names of people committing things like mass killings for glory, like we've seen quite a few times.

In the same way pain can indicate something is wrong with our body, depression indicates something is wrong with our psyche. Lifestyle changes have helped me, but reasoning about the pain, trying to release it to God, and getting my life right have also helped. An older Catholic told me mental illness increased dramatically when people stopped going to confession regularly. Looking back, a lot of my depression came from guilt, and still does. Ignoring and rationalizing the guilt by believing free will did not exist did not help, it just made me unable to accept responsibility and fix the problems in my life.
Breakthrough Could Cleanse Soil, Sediment and Water Pollution
Months after the whole Pocket thing, they destroyed the Firefox on Android homepage to replace it with 60% "Recommended by Pocket" articles. I'm not sure how they determine what's recommended for me, but it seems an awful lot like sending browser history to this company. And even if not, I'm not interested in this bullshit, I just want my bookmarks homescreen (with HN and some other sites I check regularly). Oh and the WebExtension thing which breaks every single reason I'd use Firefox over Chrome. All extensions that do not exist for Chrome because Firefox' model was more powerful, can no longer exist in the new Firefox.

It's terrible decision after terrible decision. In another HN thread someone called it intentional decisions by someone wishing Mozilla harm. I don't think there's bad intentions, but I can see why it seems like it.

I've seen mentioned the "streaming" package as an example of this: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/streaming

"streaming" provides a Stream type which is parameterized by a Functor. The main module in the package provides very general functions which work for any functor and often involve natural transformations and functor compositions and sums. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/streaming-0.1.4.5/docs/St...

The "Streaming.Prelude" instantiates the functor with a pair type and provides the more concrete API that one would expect from a streaming library. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/streaming-0.1.4.5/docs/St...
There's an interesting question about whether developing the ability to actually plot an AI apocalypse in a non-obvious way requires it to acquire a lot of very obviously dangerous experience first to understand the intermediate goals and skills. The evolution of killer AI gets slowed down by orders of magnitude if every AI that "learns" to lie, self replicate, threaten or harm humans gets switched off and erased.

(Of course that doesn't stop AI - or even pretty dumb automated systems - from being accidentally dangerous or malevolent human actors intentionally training killer AI)

2017 SaaS Benchmarks
Here's what I think would be needed to largely chunk those weird squares into the garbage bin:

- Comfort: It has to be comfortable for a lot of people to use the device for an extended time. Lets say 4 hours. Current Gen VR gets uncomfortable around 20-30 minutes. That isn't too big a bridge to cross.

- Resolution: Current Gen VR isn't suitable for looking at a lot of text for a long time due to the PPD (Pixels per degree). I've tried the Plimax 4K, and it felt very close, to the degree that I think that the Plimax 8K Pro (Which uses native 8K resolution unlike the standard 9k) could very well be there.

- Text input: This could be tricky because its not something being demanded by games at all. A very easy to imagine solution would be tracked fingers + a tracked physical keyboard. Current finger tracking is juusssst about good enough for this, but not quite. I think this is only really critical for VR coding and text processing, social and general UI use is going to lean on voice as much as possible because it fits into the VR paradigm much better.

I get it, a tree that has had a limb artificially removed is ugly - in my eyes at least. Even trees that are managed can look rough around the edges, whereas the natural shape of trees can be absolutely beautiful. I've tried to tame some large trees that I am stewarding, and to be honest they'd probably look better cut right back to the ground. Thin limb cuts you can get away with, but a severed fat limb looks pretty dreadful.
