> iCloud is an option. However, I'm unlikely to choose it because Backblaze or similar costs $5/mo instead of $10/mo for the amount of storage I need

Note: Backblaze charges a fairly hefty $0.02/gb to download, I believe, so restoring your 1TB backup will actually cost you $20.

But my bigger point is, people are moving to cloud storage for other reasons (i.e. syncing devices, optimizing local storage) and they're getting pretty good offsite backup along with that "for free". iCloud is nicely priced if you're actually interested in cloud syncing. At 2TB it's even the same storage price as Backblaze, which is amazing, because it's a full-on intelligent syncing service that doesn't charge for data transfer either.

I'll also note that intelligent purging is completely optional. There's a checkbox to turn it off for documents and/or media (separately). But if like most people you have fairly reliable internet, it's a real benefit. It makes it feasible to put your whole photo library in the cloud (mine is >1TB) and have it all immediately accessible without having to splurge on massive local storage.
I don't think that is a fair statement. Often writers of emulators have to take low level shortcuts because the alternative is emulating the physical hardware in software - which is extremely slow. A "bug" implies that a behavior is unintended or undesired where as sometimes these kinds of emulator facets are deliberately implemented for the sake of simplifying the emulator design or just being about to use modern hardware to offload some of the processing (like a hypervisor would) rather than having to emulate every single transistor in a now defunct chipset.

Im no longer so sure, that battery driven electric cars are the future. Electric cars are- but i would bet right now on fuel cells. They have all the bons- less energy conversion steps (methan, ethanol or hydrogen beeing used), a better conversion rate and energy density.

Hypercentralization is an intrinsic part of it. The VC money for operating at a loss is only available because VC's dream of hypercentralization.

Of course, there's a specific use case for the EV. The same dealer also had $76,000 Corvettes on the floor: like the EV they're maybe costing more and offer less utility.

> Abstract. In recent years, deep artificial neural networks (including recurrent ones) have won numerous contests in pattern recognition and machine learning. This historical survey compactly summarises relevant work, much of it from the previous millennium. Shallow and deep learners are distinguished by the depth of their credit assignment paths, which are chains of possibly learnable, causal links between actions and effects. I review deep supervised learning (also recapitulating the history of backpropagation), unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning & evolutionary computation, and indirect search for short programs encoding deep and large networks.

The standard OCaml native compile toolchain supports Reason: http://jbuilder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html?highl...

You can write in Reason syntax and deploy native binaries with Docker: https://medium.com/@bobbypriambodo/lightweight-ocaml-docker-...

JS and native differences will probable be resolved just like with any other language that supports both: packages for common code, with specialised packages targeting specific platforms and having dependencies on the common packages.
The youth of the language should be a reasonable predictor of that difference, alone.

It may indeed turn out that the way Rust's learning curve is front-loaded will prevent it from breaking into the mainstream, but that's a separate issue from developers deciding it's unsuitable for work after they learn it.

In my experience middle of the range second-hand cars have either been driven hard or were unreliable and thus for sale. Of course, it depends greatly how much driving you are planning on and the sorts of conditions.

I have had the best experiences buying new and keeping the car for 10+ years. Of course, I do a lot of research to discover the sorts of problems that are common for the models that I am interested in. I find Japanese mid-sized cars the best for my purposes, specifically Toyota. Buy the most basic model with the least amount of fancy electronics. And avoid CVT like the plague.

I think this depends heavily on the driver too..

- Location and conditions in which car is driven. In a city? or bumpy roads? Near the sea?

- Driving style. Heavy footed? Drives slowly? Could make them more prone to certain types of accidents that have different costs associated with them.

- Mileage. Does this person only drive 10km a week? Or is it a lot further?

- Weight even. How much of the vehicles capacity or weight load do they use? How often?

> The claim that 30% of incidents are caused by speeding are also questionable.

The statistics actually say that they're "speeding related", not caused by speeding. Also, they conflate alcohol related crashes with speeding related crashes.

If you exclude alcohol related crashes, and crashes where someone was driving too fast for conditions, it drops to around 5% to 10%. According to the Virginia Crash Facts document from 2015[1], "speed too fast" was cited as a factor in 7.74% of fatal crashes (page 35 of the pdf document). West Virginia [2] has a similar percentage for "exceeding speed limit" (8.24%)

Inherently? No, but it does come with potential for negative externalities.

If you consider that work passion to be a moral virtue and this comes through in your discussions with others, that contributes to pushing society towards a culture of being overworked.

If you try to overtly filter for passion within hiring at a company then that encourages bullshitting and reduces the efficiency of managing employees. You'll be trying to give "passion" benefits to a bunch of secret mercenaries.

If you're non-business inclined and passionate then this can lead to capturing far less of the value that you generate than you otherwise could. This is effectively charity to the business owning class. If you're working for $80k when a few extra conversations—or even just sentences—over the years could have put you at $150k, then that's effectively a yearly donation of $70k to the people in the world who need it the least. Even if you don't care for that money for yourself because you're too busy having fun working to spend it, then that's an awful lot of good you could have done for others that you're failing to do.

What's more with this one is that it also hurts your colleagues by acting as a salary anchor which again, results in a greater share of the value being generated going to the owning class.

Your point is a good one. I’ve never worked anywhere where the gains from equity had any kind of significance. From public companies it was indistinguishable from cash since its value never grew significantly and/or went down. From startups they all ended up worth zero.

I could see equity being a great motivator if it was less of a lottery. I’m happy to do good work for good compensation and that often includes stock. But I’ve never considered myself “motivated as if an owner” of my employer.

If you look at the history of the past 2000 years, things are pretty good. There always will be droughts, floods, dystopian political situations. Granted that there are many global problems and some are very difficult to solve. However, each person's future is a result of making their circumstances the best that can be, then focus on their immediate family / friends and work outwards. You don't solve global problems if you can't even get your home-front sorted.

In the greater scheme of things, money is not the issue. Being optimistic and making a difference on your own patch through smart and focused effort is the start. If every person takes that approach then many large scale problems become a lot smaller.

Consciousness is supernatural and metaphysical by virtue of it existing outside the natural and physical world. This is true even if we could prove that some formations of matter correlated or even had a one-to-one relationship to consciousness. It's easy to see that the experience of, say, reading this post exists nowhere in this physical universe. In fact, consciousness is the only supernatural phenomenon that we know of, and we even have first-hand, moment-to-moment proof of it.
The available alternatives when trying to encourage people to abide by community standards aren't particularly appealing.

On surface streets (streets within city limits where the speed limit ranges from 15 mph to 40 mph), I have the same experience, but on highways/motorways, I don't find it relaxing at all because everyone is passing me at relatively high speed differentials.

> One can easily notice that most folks seem to treat the speed limit as a minimum speed rather than a maximum speed.

That's because the speed limit doesn't match actual traffic speeds. On highways/motorways, traffic typically will freely flow at speeds ranging from 75 to 85 mph (120 to 140 km/h). Posting a speed limit of 55 to 65 mph (90 to 110 km/h) will result in traffic treating those numbers as a minimum acceptable speed.

In fact, in the state of Virginia (in the USA), they have signs posted on their interstate highways that state that commercial vehicles may not use the left most lane if being operated below the posted speed limit (65 or 70 mph).
Consciousness connects the symbols with real world, it’s the awareness by understanding abstract concepts and maintaining some model of reality. Without that you wouldn’t be more conscious than a thermometer.

There are, broadly speaking two types of meetings.

The first one is where someone presents a slidedeck or does a demo. In this case, the minutes can be rather short, as in "Bob presented a summary of last quarter's sales, see attached slidedeck", maybe plus a summary of the Q&A if there was one. It's not strictly necessary to have minutes in this case, but they are also very cheap to produce.

The second type of meeting is any form of discussion. You absolutely need to do minutes for these to document your arguments and decisions. Everything else is unprofessional.
Unless you pour them into a glass.
Dicts never had an iteration order, though. If you relied on dicts iterating in order, you were kind of asking for it.
I was thinking in a naturalist way, it's just that the hypothesis seems naive to me. As I read it, it says more than simply "minds are products of brains": it says that certain characteristics of our subjective conscious experience must have "implementations" that mirror those characteristics quite directly.

I suppose computer analogies are cliché, but consider virtual memory: it gives the illusion of a huge contiguous memory space, when in reality the machine has nothing of the sort. Our brains are much more complex than computers and I suspect extrapolating between "abstraction levels" will be even more risky there.

I also don't see why "Integrated Information Theory" with its "formal calculus" is really required for the methodology of studying patterns of neural activity and trying to match them with self-reported states of consciousness.
