We had a debate at office about this. We had a lot of trouble untangling perception (or awareness) from qualia (which is basically a thing as experienced by a person). For example, a cat may be aware of its reflection in the mirror, and may eventually map points on the mirror to points on its own body, but is there something inside the cats brain that is doing the observing? Or is it just a computing device that operates on a continuous input-processing-output loop that learns from previous loops?
Very nice!

To anyone wanting to break out of that "locked-in" and boxy style of playing both scales and chords, I suggest listening to how Allan Holdsworth approaches arrangement.

His books/instructionals are amazing. Completely changes your perspective on how to build chords and how to play scales over them.
Writing Verilog in the editor of choice then calling make and pushing to Jenkins sounds amazing. Could you elaborate further on the methods and best practices to develop FPGA without Vivado IDE?(As your story indicate that there are many people can do this in the industry.) I'd like to know more about the setup.
Right now https://github.com/maps4print/azul is looking the most promising.
I believe Hameroff is on the right track, but the track can be extended much further.

Every cell (and every bacteria) is a conscious, intelligent being. Nothing else is conscious. Our sense of "I" comes from a single cell in our body, getting inputs from other cells. We are products of the self-modification of cells. We need to find a way to talk with our cells - they will tell us a lot about physics and life.

Whether the cell consciousness is due to quantum effects or not is of secondary importance at this stage IMO.
A minor has no flat notes, but when selected, shows b3, b6, and b7. I must not understand what you mean by 'flat note of a scale'.
I have seen many floppies, but you don't seem to know how the Apple ][ encodes bytes on the floppy because of the Disk 2 limitations. See my remark about the $D5 $AA $96 marker, and if you want to learn more, look up "6 and 2 encoding".
Also, here is a page with the tooling this stack provides:

This set of tooling is much more powerful than what I’ve seen deployed in large python environments.

BHCS has static and dynamic analysis out of the box, automatic penetration testing, hardware-assited, os level sandboxing and privilege whitelisting.

The framework provides performant and hardened process management, and hardened json and sql processing out of the box.

Do you have anything to back up that he was joking besides the backtracking statements he made years after the original video and only after getting massive amounts of negative backlash about it?

If making a several-minute-long homophobic rant 'as a joke' (a joke so funny that he apparently didn't want the public to see it because the video was unlisted), in a way that is entirely indistinguishable from actually hating gay people, is somehow not 'strong evidence' of being homophobic then I have no idea what is.

My question was normative, I suppose another way to rephrase it is "Do you want to live in a world where only people with the correct opinions can make jokes and enjoy the benefit of the doubt? If not, why are you enforcing social norms you don't endorse?"

The choice isn't automatic: abritinthebay apparently does endorse a hostile interpretation of any speech by people who "hold opinions that have been demonstratably wrong for 40+ years" and "made a concious choice to be a bigot", which I believe makes both comedy and nuance impossible, but at least they're honest about it.
Auth0 Glitch Allows Attackers to Launch Phishing Attacks
Sounds to me like something that falls into the half-joking category. It's of the form, hate to say it but $BAD_THING would be worth it if it would get rid of the president/congress/etc. where you can make $BAD_THING arbitrarily bad until it's pretty outrageous and is obviously not meant to be taken seriously.

No worries, it's an easy mistake to make. The formatting options on HN are pretty meager: two leading spaces (not four like Markdown) for block code, asterisks for emphasis. So it's natural that people try to make do with what's available.

I don't mind, I get a lot of upvotes for posting those mobile friendly quotes. Just call me the Quote Fixer Bot. ;-)

Markdown recognizes the > quote convention and puts the text in a <blockquote> so it can be styled, typically indented a bit with a vertical bar on the left. I wish HN did that too!

A convention that is often used for quotes here is to both use the > and italicize them, like this:

> *You can quote me on this.*

which renders as:

> You can quote me on this.

This is especially useful when you are interspersing quotes with your own text, as grzm did above. I can't make up my mind which I like better for longer multi-paragraph quotes: the italics make it look more like a quote, but I find long stretches of italic text harder to read.

Many small programs simply doesn't scale to the modern web when just the baggage associated with spinning up processes will kill you at any reasonable load.

That’s not a technical problem.

It’s a market problem, I nicknamed the “pay or pray dilemma of free software”.

To solve your problem you either:

Pay someone to build a solution on top of Google’s interfaces (Drive API/Chrome extension etc.)

- or -

Pray for Google to provide desired functionality. (Or alternatively for some indi developer to provide said functionality for no rational reason other than their own interest in the problem).

The odds of success are not evenly distributed between the two options.
> This is, I imagine, part of the reason why so many developers left single-platform development for web development. At least, that's my reaction.

Spot on. You even gave an example of this: VSCode. If Microsoft is doing it, you can bet loads of other people are.
That's a strawman.

I would just like to point out that while totally unintentional, you just rattled off only left-wing sites. You absolutely need to make sure that, when listing off examples, you are being neutral in these examples. Even if you are a neutral third party, it may not look that way to people if you only list off certain news sources.

Being neutral is critical to being trusted in a situation a site with responsibility like this. I want to see you succeed -- not get labeled as "attacking" one or the other side.
I'll look into this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

FWIW, most computers today have builtin non deterministic hardware rng. They do bot seem qualitatively different from computers lacking them.
I'm not disagreeing, but on the Ubuntu MATE computer I'm using now, for graphical apps at least, I have only have apps using GTK+ — including partial users like Firefox —, Qt and wxWidgets (plus mpv, which doesn't seem to have any dialogs anyway). Qt and wxWidgets adapt to GTK+ conventions when used with GTK, or use parts of GTK+, like open/save dialogs, so everything, or nearly so, that I use is Cancel/OK.

I think GNOME started intentionally copying MacOS starting with the GTK+ 2 days.

Out of curiosity, I just installed Blender, which uses its own custom toolkit. The only dialogs I could find were open and save, and it has the open/save actions on top and cancel below. (That's actually what unstyled(?) Qt apps' open/save dialogs do too, as I've just seen in KeepassXC installed as a Snap.) That's one way to not take sides here ;-)
Clutching at straws.
Why not take the train?
You're hitting me with the tough questions, appreciate that they're all in good faith :)

- I enjoyed blogging about IH, but it was also quite time-consuming, and not that many people found it interesting relative to the other stories we feature on the site. So it was just a tradeoff on what's the most effective way to spend my time. That said, I do have a "product page" for Indie Hackers where I will occasionally share what's going on: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/indie-hackers. You can find similar pages for other companies or create one of your own here: https://www.indiehackers.com/products

- Pushing for signups was an experiment that I'm happy to have reverted. Appreciate the feedback I got about it from multiple sources.

- Channing and I spend lots of time on the forum. We do a lot of moderation, emailing people individually, encouraging and suggesting posts, and making comments ourselves. Much of this work is invisible. But I do think that as the forum continues to grow (which it hasn't stopped doing), we'll become a bit harder to find, like two needles in an ever-expanding haystack.

- I'd like to move waaaay faster. It's tough. I do feel slow, especially during the last couple of months. (Lesson learned: say no to giving talks, say no to most meetings, respond to fewer emails.) There's also just a ton of work involved in running all the different parts of IH. There's a lot to prioritize, including numerous issues at any given time where a solid case could be made that "this is the most important thing." We're hiring a couple of engineers, so in the long run this should improve.

- Aware of speed issues. Will improve over time. Again, one of the many things to juggle prioritizing. MLK once said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." I'd like to think the arc of Indie Hackers' development is long, but it bends toward a better, faster site.

Thanks for the feedback!
The Economist has a habit of using the phrase "militia-cum-party": https://www.google.com/search?q=economist+%22militia+cum+par...
> Economics is such a tragedy, because on the one hand it's so elegant and satisfying, but on the other it seems sufficiently incomplete to be considered broken.

The study of economics is as much a framework for asking questions as it is for answering them. National-level economic systems are inherently to complicated to do meaningful experiments on, so we don't get to use the tools we normally do to find our way. Economics isn't broken, but the view of economics as a sister to physics is.
I think everyone can learn from "Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon."

I love this fact very much. Jargon is necessary when publishing scientific papers or presenting technical material. When it comes to marketing, the moment there is jargon - I smell bullshit (even if it isn't). Honest, truthful marketing is so much more valuable and impactful. Reminds of the stark difference between how Steve Jobs spoke and how Satya Nadella speaks. Every time I hear Satya, I feel like I am listening to a pre-recorded HR blessed robot.
When he talks about Verilog, he is referring to the language used for development and implementation. We're talking about a different part of the chain, something akin to the compiler, make, cmake and alike.

Of course, there's some dynamic between the tool chain and the language itself. For example, it doesn't matter if the language has the coolest feature if the compiler does not support it, and the toolchain will help you manage more complex code safely.

That's just PR. But real projects need sound technical motivations for making such a move.
I think the riddle is in the language.

When someone talks of oceans they don't question if it is just a bunch of quarks. The information processing system is intelligible to us because we live in a universe of consequence. Perception, awareness, and qualia seem to be all possible from neural activity.
Yes, but those are explicitly invokable random functions, and not random fluctuations built into the entire functionality of the CPU.

In all seriousness, the comedian Gallagher started me on the path. He would point out a lot of flaws in our language, society, a lot of odd things, but the bit of wisdom that rung in my ears:

A full exploration of that question is its own education.

Got a few questions for you:

1. Why not bookmark the interviews page instead of the homepage?

2. Would it be helpful to you if the interviews/podcasts were more prominently linked from the homepage, or is it only sufficient if they are the primary focus of the homepage?

3. If you don't mind sharing, what do you do? Specifically, I'm curious about whether or not you're a founder, what stage you're at, and what you hope to gain from a site like Indie Hackers.
I think there's nothing in self-awareness beyond specifically structured information processing, and such processing is self-awareness. But this position is hard to argue for or against, so I'll leave it at that.

You learn to question the published truth, and get down to the bare, hard facts of reality, which often doesn't match. And you learn to try things, and how to iterate if things don't work, in a relatively low stakes environment.

It's definitely a legitimate question - not everybody knows that AWS needs some silly header, nor why. OpenBSD people will be the first to call out unnecessary/outlandish requests unless you can back it up with a good reason outright.

I appreciate the fact that httpd doesn't attempt to be the end-all server for everybody - its primarily a lightweight way to run things like the BGPd looking glass, other tools, a simple website, or something via fastcgi. The term they use often when denying pull requests is 'Featuritis', which Apache & Nginx suffer from.
> But my point here is that people look at Christians and get caught up in the question of who are good people, which is really a secondary concern in Christian theology.

I think "secondary concern" is a stretch. The entire religion is centered around the notion of sin; without sin, justification (and therefore Christ) is unnecessary.

Regardless, the important point is that:

> how a Christian should behave and how people get to heaven are two separate questions

I.e., regardless of whether goodness is a secondary concern in Christian theology, it is not a secondary concern in Christian culture.

Which is significant because you are explicitly asking for:

>> appreciation and celebration of a culture and people.

and in response to a thread rooted with claims about the goodness of Christians.
The cliff notes of the study are provided in the article:

In this study, “Experimental Evidence for Tipping Points in Social Convention,” coauthored by Joshua Becker, Ph.D., Devon Brackbill, Ph.D., and Andrea Baronchelli, Ph.D., 10 groups of 20 participants each were given a financial incentive to agree on a linguistic norm. Once a norm had been established, a group of confederates — a coalition of activists that varied in size — then pushed for a change to the norm.

When a minority group pushing change was below 25% of the total group, its efforts failed. But when the committed minority reached 25%, there was an abrupt change in the group dynamic, and very quickly the majority of the population adopted the new norm. In one trial, a single person accounted for the difference between success and failure.

Though I'm quite curious why they call this a study in "large scale social change" and not just peer pressure? I have no idea how to possibly design an experiment for "large scale social change" but if I was going to create an experiment for peer pressure this seems to be just about exactly what I would do. Though even there it might be a bit sketchy. Mercenaries don't tend to be particularly loyal to the country they're fighting for, and 'providing a financial incentive to agree on a linguistic norm' is creating linguistic mercenaries.

Another issue that I hope they are being forthright about is "majority." If 25% of the population is made up of confederates are they describing a majority as 50% of the total (confederate + subjects) population? If that's the case then it undermines its own conclusion as it only means that 1/3rd of the subjects actually changed their view. This is something that should be obvious, but just the phrasing makes me wonder and the study itself is paywalled so I can't check.
Consciousness has no qualities so it can't be studied scientifically. Chalmers is doing the next best thing: investigating precisely what "gray-matter activity" engenders a noticeable change in qualia.

I want to point out that it is possible for two conscious systems to merge and share consciousness. It is a very intimate process, so you don't hear a lot about it, even at places like Science of Consciousness conference, but it's one way to approach the study of consciousness.

Amazing documentary, it is surprising what people did in the past and how far they experimented with everything to achieve clever results. Thanks for sharing this fascinating and thought provoking video.
You can do that by overclocking everything and turning off error correction codes. This doesn’t seem like a powerful argument in favour of randomness or non-determination.
I think the more salient point here is that React-the-ecosystem is just the JavaScript ecosystem. There were very few packages mentioned that are strictly only useful with React.
Why did they also wrap them in new syntax and abstraction?

Why not just build the ecosystem to do that and still have it all be “C”?

Why not some fixes to the standard and update then old but useful code, and work on better compilers?

This is what’s been confusing me for a while

If you can write safe enough C for the core of an interpreted language, why not abstract that into tools and patterns that generate better, safer C and learn how to do that over the last 30 years

Instead of JS and dozens of flavors, Python, ruby, lua...

DRY right?

My suspicion is “vanity projects generate a sense of novelty that’s easier to sell.”

But if the OS and bulk of the stack are “C inside anyway” why the extra nonsense?
How would you write it, out of curiosity?

'The Fall of the Human Intellect'

Can I ask question first about "immorally" to be sure I understand you correctly?

There are few different kind of morality in circulation, so I need to know about what morality we are talking.

Liberal morale is used at the West: every person life costs infinity, so we cannot exchange life of a person to save another person or even infinity of persons.

However, at war or in military, Liberal morale can't be used, because Liberal morale forbids to send soldiers to protect civilians: life of a soldier has same cost as lives of all civilians in the country. So every military in the world uses Utilitarian morale, where each life has a cost. In most countries, order of life cost is: our politics > our commandment > our civilians > other civilians > our soldiers > enemies, and goal is to minimize loses. In some countries order can be different, e.g. religious leaders can send civilians to kill other civilians or civilians can be used to protect soldiers (e.g. famous speech of V.V. Putin: «We will put our soldier behind their (Ukrainian) mothers and children. Not in front but behind. Will they shoot at them? At their own mothers and children?» https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoQXvPsBBn8 ), and so on.

So my question is: to which kind of morality you are referring when you are talking about "immorality"?
The Producers. I have wondered if that film might be a bit too edgy for mainstream audiences today. On the other hand, it had a good Broadway run long after the film, so people would probably be fine for the most part.

You're absolutely right, we all have inherent biases and my goal with Quod is to create an environment where anyone can contribute regardless of political affiliation. Some of the problems with other fact checking sites is that they have small editorial panels, so bias can be an issue.

Ideally, if Quod succeeds, my personal politics would not impact the site in any way whatsoever. Most of the initial reports on Quod were my own (since nobody else is going to report them) and I did try to grab a fairly equal amount of posts from the left and right.

Anyway your feedback is appreciated and I agree that as an operator of the service I should try to act as a neutral party and I will keep that in mind going forward.
