My use case had to do with migrating a physical machine to a virtualized one, in this case migrating the whole array over (with its controller) was less risk fraught (and notably faster) than creating a new drive, and copying. It also creates an isolation layer between windows and my files.

Sometime in the next couple years I'll likely migrate it to a vhdx, but this was quick and easy to setup.

Apple statement on tax payments
Indeed! But then again, I think the genre boundary between cyberpunk and fairy tale was always permeable. In Count Zero, evolved AIs posses people like vodoo deities. In Serial Experiments Lain, dead people live on as ghosts in cyberspace. While Snow Crash plays it for laughs, the idea that Ancient Sumerian gods live on as latent patterns in our brains (ready to override and erase our consciousness if the right word is spoken) is pretty Lovecraftian too.

Maybe one of the purest exponents of this "Lovecraft-via-cyberpunk" aesthetic is Nick Land; his early works are very influenced by 1980s cyberpunk science fiction, and (as far as I can make out from his rather opaque writing) his main thesis is that the combination of AI and Capitalism will evolve into an entity literally beyond human understanding, which will get rid of us all as it goes on to pursue its own inscrutable goals...

I hereby directly challenge your subjectivity and qualia. It is most absolutely not an empirical fact.

Most ICOs are playing off these things, trying to avoid the SEC, and in turn, hurting investors by giving them a bad deal. Tezos, for example, calls their investors donors, giving them donations. This is disgusting.

We (see profile) are doing the right thing by issuing an unregulated security. With privacy tech this will not be a problem for investors, and we absorb the risk along with the other risky things we do. Our contingency system will allow the platform to continue even if we have an accident or fail our opsec and are outed.

I do not quite get this article saying that ICOs are riskier when they issue shares or equivalents. Investors are at a better position if they own part of the underlying company instead of a token that could simply be replaced. Nothing stops Filecoin or the other storage companies, for instance, from pegging the value of the token very low, or outright issuing new tokens or just accepting ETH/BTC/XMR like they should.

Well done to the author. I always found working on more obscure systems to be a lot more entertaining as a hobby and I'd definitely recommend it -- you'll almost never run into the issue of another researcher coming out with something first. Most security researchers seem to shy away from embedded VR due to an unjustified fear of obscure assembly languages and hardware (or perhaps they just realize there's no money in it...), but isn't nearly as hard as anyone thinks.

I expect to see drastically more work into IoT devices once tooling and knowledge sharing gets better. A lot of the articles right now begin and end with binwalk. Great tool but that's just the start.

The only hard part of embedded work is that it's really, really difficult to collaborate with anyone as VR is always filled with incredible drama and the talent pool of individuals willing to work on this (for free) with the prerequisite knowledge is almost non-existent.

Good luck. And thanks for not coming out with another media campaign first and interesting research second.

Yeah! I did some reading and apparently binocular depth perception is the least important kind, and only works out to about six feet anyway; past that there's not enough parallax between your eyes to get any useful info. Judging distance by an object's surroundings is the most common way of doing it even for people with normal vision.

I agree it's worth looking more closely at the relationship between objectivity and subjectivity, especially the mapping from the 'nearest' objective structure we know to various aspects of subjectivity. I think this could be a decent route to finding a brain structure tightly related to conscious experience.

However, my suspicion is that the experience itself will remain not amenable to conceptual analysis—that it will remain fundamentally incapable of systematizing. For instance what would the mathematical description of the experience of a fever chill look like? (Hint: the definition there requires that you don't take a reductive approach to this: it's not asking about a mechanism which produces or is responsible for the experience, it refers to the experience itself.)

That said, I think it would be very valuable to understand better what the limits of our conceptual faculty are: as impressive as cognition is relative to other things we and other animals are able to do, we're being unduly anthropocentric in assuming it to be boundless in capability. More recently I've come to consider concepts as almost like another sense: they are symbolic patterns consistently formed when we are exposed to certain stimuli (like our experience of smells consistently reappearing when exposed to similar molecules). Our conceptual faculty augments the pure pattern-correspondence of our more primitive senses in that the patterns can be associated with other internal patterns, and in that we can generate new patterns purely from existing patterns (using logical and analogical processes), which at some future time may be usefully associated with some never-encountered external stimulus.

Finding the limits to our conceptual faculty is almost synonymous with find its 'structure', which I think would have clear benefits.
Check screenshots above. There is a block having 4-columns layout. Each column there a) is flexible and b) uses min-content constraint. So widths of columns are unknown upfront - determined by actual content in grid cells.

That last part (use of actual content) is what you cannot reproduce using % units in principle.
There is a non-insignificant amount of work to take a paper from submission to publication. It's hard to determine the exact value / cost of that work, but article publication fees
(and subscription fees!) is one way that work is paid for. So while I am sympathetic to your argument, one could then say that "rich" researchers should (based on an arbitrarily chosen morality) pay for open access, and the "poor" ones should go to low APC, subscription journals... I am not sure I like this argument either.

Now, researchers are slowly getting new tools where that cost is accounted for in other ways. I.e. The Winnower, biorxiv, etc. Whether one day one of those, or a future invention will replace academic journals, only time will tell.

What's hard about a VM? You can download an entire VM complete with OS and all relevant dev tools and have zero leakage of viruses or workspaces into your normal client. It's a great way to encapsulate your development for a specific task.

I use a Win10 VM in my Win7 machine for almost all of my dev work. It stays on an SSD and completely keeps all that outlook, Microsoft SQL, Visual Studio, IIS, NAV, CRM crap from destroying what is normally a fast machine for gaming. I also host it on a separate IP so I can RDP into it from my crappy work laptop (which becomes nothing more than a thin client) and have remote access (from say my phone wireless hotspot if wifi is unavailable) and I've got all my work stuff exactly as I left the house.

Recently, I put together a XP VM with Visual Studio 2003, 2005, and 2008 for supporting and upgrading an old .NET 1.1 project for a client. There's no way I was going to try and get that crap running on my 64-bit computer.

Last thing I want is FL Studio (and all my related audio tools), Photoshop (and all related graphics tools), and Visual Studio (across over a decade of versions) all on the same machine destroying each other. You can't even get multiple versions of Java to run on the same machine these days.. Ugh.

I'd say this works 9/10 times - or more, but sometimes it would be nice (or important) - to really hand the exact namespace off to a different person/org.

This was a solved problem with domain names - but with the de-facto standard of github and projects being "in the namespace of a user" (if they don't create a separate org for this purpose they could then hand off without losing their username) it's a problem again.

And Go is notoriously bad for this. Had this problem a while ago where one library author just changed his name from uppercase first letter to all lowercase. On a case sensitive filesystem this actually breaks imports :(

You can't outsource understanding how the law works. You should get a lawyer to draft your agreements, but you need to tell them what you want those agreements to say. The lawyer will explain some of the considerations to you, but at the end of the day, you have to make the decisions --- which means you need to understand things.
Scott Aaronson wrote a great paper arguing around what you mentioned[1]. He tackles the issue of why a waterfall does not simulate a universe if we transform the waterfall in an appropriate way. He argues that the waterfall would indeed simulate a universe, if and only if the transformation function is of polynomial complexity. However! He argues that it is more likely such a transformation is if exponential complexity, or of an even higher order, and thus the waterfall does not simulate a universe. A polynomial transformation function to turn a grain of sand into a universe existing seems like quite a strong assumption.

I strongly suspect that I can dramatically affect or entirely 'turn off' your experience of qualia through purely physical means, so I think your objection is much more to do with your skepticism that mathematical or computational processes can generate physical processes than anything to do with qualia.

Of course, you only have to have a virtual object thrown at your head in VR to discover that your brain will mistake computational processes for physical ones rather easily.
I've never understood what their lead in batteries really is. Isn't it well known that Panasonic manufacturers and supplies battery cells to Tesla?

> It's debatable whether these girls are one girl or two girls, from a personality / sense-of-self perspective.

No it's not. They have externally distinguishable personalities, and they refer to themselves as separate people. I don't see any reason not to take their word for it.

And even if they were one and a half people, I don't see the issue as long as all one-and-a-half of them are into it. And if they're not, it's not as if having conflicted feelings about someone is alien to normal human experience. It would certainly be an odd situation, but hardly insurmountable.
I have a 4 year old, and I let her have some limited video time. I am familiar with most of the videos mentioned, but this is the first time I have heard of violent version.

I pre-screen what she can watch, and I limit it to about 20 minutes max. YouTube is not on the list, but I will occasionally play music videos as she likes to sing.

Amazon has a number of kids based learning shows Creative Galaxy, Tumble Leaf, and Luna. I wish they would expand out to more seasons as these have been very well thought out. I have not found any issues with these.

The real solution in my opinion is to screen stuff before you let you kids watch it. Leaving a screen open to a site like YouTube is asking for trouble as your not sure what is going to be suggested in the sidebar that they might click on.

OTOH, a commercial company can sever links with foreign government agency buying their services at any time. Doing the same with US government agency is not that easy, as we know on NSA example.

If my understanding is right, a bijective function won't change the entropy of the strings it acts on.

It's not a terrible marketing idea, in that 'all news is good news, even bad news' kinda way. But in a, I dunno, human way, it's horrific.

The value of a currency as either a store of value or as a medium of exchange is directly proportionate to ability of the entity that uses the such currency to beat whoever does not like this currency into pulp on a global scale (aircraft carriers, ICBMs, nuclear submarines, US Marines, etc) or police, judiciary, prosecutors on a local, state and federal level in case Punk Joe decides to rob aunt Suzi on her way from a bingo hall.

That's why GBP was very valuable when Britain was the big dog on a block, US dollar is highly valued now and currency of Venezuela is in a toilet.

Decentralized nature of the crypto-currency is something that will destroy its value as there would be no one to beat the living shit out of the Punk Joe on a behalf of Aunt Suzi or US Navy showing up next door.

Where I do think we would see block chain applied is international settlements between central banks. Imagine, if you will, that all money flows between all countries in the aggregate would be visible and validatable by all central banks. Considering that we are rapidly approaching the end of the anonymity of inter-country banking it seems that those book-to-book transactions would gain a lot of additional legitimacy if Egypt CB could verify that the money moved from Sweden did not come from Israel CB if Egypt's position is not to accept Israeli' money.

They might still have a lead in battery tech.

For instance, suppose Chevy needs to go through this retooling at some point in the future and set back production at that point.

A set back is not proof that they don't have a lead in battery tech.

However, it should be asked: what is the nature of the lead? What is superior about the batteries? How does this lead manifest?
