For more than a few people, someone with darker skin is no better than a pig. If we can't get past treating animals we know to be human as if they are no more than useful pets, there isn't much hope at all for the non-humans.
You're right; 2016 to 2017, not much improvement. Then, twice as good in 2018.[1] (CA DMV stats run on a year from December to November, so the most recent data set is for 2018.)

The traffic in Austin is the #1 reason that keeps me from considering living there. Constant gridlock, plus a lot of dangerous drivers. Yes, there are worse places (L.A. obviously), but not many. They need a huge increase in both quality & quantity of public transportation, and it isn't happening soon enough.

There is one important difference between other living beings and the model, in the case of other living beings you do not own the computer, you are not the one who started the computation, and you do not have a power to undo your actions.

But in case of the model nothing would exist if you didn't build the computer, and you can take snapshots to restore any state you want.

It seems like people in some way always understood this difference, because they were ok with god sending arbitrary tortures to them, and then granting them eternal life undoing the effect of the torture.
Because "deeper emotions" is something defined by us, humans, and is probably completely meaningless without a complete understanding of how we define emotions in the first place.

I'm not saying they don't have these emotions, just that they probably don't have the same concepts surrounding them as we do. I could very well be wrong, but I'd have to find a non-human animal willing to discuss the topic with me.

Be proactive.

You can look up the required courses for your major/minor to get a listing, then look up corse descriptions in a course catalog, and even look up the books associated with each class.

If that’s to hard talk to seniors with the major you’re considering to get an idea what’s ahead. I even sat through an upper level class in high school to see if I wanted to get an engendering or CS degree.

I was also thinking some advanced economy origami seats that fold out into 3 level bunk beds.

Apparently it's all about "safety" - all passengers are supposed to evacuate in 2 minutes or something. Apparently it's quite hard when you are in a pod or something.

I don't care about all the fancy stuff you get in biz, just wanna straighten my body (especially with 20 hour flights becoming a norm). Half of my femur doesn't even fit in economy seat. Heck I could even sleep on that cold as floor, but of course they won't let you.

The x86 and x64 ISAs allow both, but impose a significant performance penalty on dynamic linking.

Stay tuned, we're working on creating a more granular permissions policy as this is a concern for many users. We can promise you that we don't store or read any information on the sites you visit, but of course it would make users feel more comfortable if they could read it themselves in the permissions when installing.
Because extensions automatically update, I believe you do have the ability to do that. It would mean changing the extension and releasing an update. I don't think that you would do that, but it's technically possible.
The lack of any meaningful rail / subway connection at LGA is something I have to deal with on a regular basis. Probably won't change anytime soon either which is unfortunate.
What is the best thing you've learned from HN comments and discussions?
I am surprised daily by points of view I never would have imagined existed. It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing; rather, it's that ways of looking at and being in the world that I would never have been aware of are all around me.
Well let me tell you the story about some older experienced “infrastructure consultants” who thought that AWS was just like on prem infrastructure, did a lift and shift, moved my former company “to the cloud” and ended up costing more because they thought they had “learned AWS”.

Architecture and processes that was fine for one environment was horrible for the other.

In development terms, you can write FORTRAN in any language.

Let’s not talk about the one Java developer who thought he could pick up C in two or three weeks. It was ugly.
I'm confused.

The article seems to extrapolate that Tesla has failed in autonomous driving because it removed some lines from its Autopilot page. It's still very much in progress and progress is routinely confirmed by the company. Musk is known for blowing timelines but they do get delivered.

When it talks about "old approach" I'm again confused. No one else crowd sources driving data from a real world fleet. They have a unique unsupervised learning datasource from shadowing drivers.

As for attentiveness. I don't see how drivers not paying attention is any different to mobile phone use. Currently Autopilot is very clear on telling at every chance its an assistant. Saying it will kill people is like blaming phones for drivers texting while driving and getting killed. These people die because they are breaking the law and not in control of their vehicle.

I suspect that you almost exactly reversed the point.

The point of the Fermi paradox is that an advanced technological system should be able to colonize the whole galaxy in a geologically short time scale using Von Neumann machines. So if it had happened anywhere else in the galaxy, we'd expect to know about it because they would be already here. But they are not here. So we're probably the first in this galaxy.

Given that there are around 250 billion stars in the galaxy, if the odds were above 1/100 billion per star, the observed outcome would be unlikely. So it is probable that the real odds are below 1/100 billion.

I was offering potential requirements under which real odds on the order of 1/trillion could be justified. These odds are low enough that the observation "we're the first technological civilization in the Milky Way" is not a surprise and the Fermi paradox stops being a paradox.

Neither the Fermi paradox nor my argument suggests that there aren't lots of other galaxies which contain advanced technological civilizations. The time for an advanced galactic civilization to cross intergalactic space is NOT a geological eye-blink. And almost all galaxies that we see are in other clusters, which are much, much farther off.
Or maybe it says something about you.

I don't mean to say you personally, but perhaps cynicism is an easy trap that a lot of the industry falls into.
> A simpler explanation in my opinion is that it's projection.

For this to be true we would first have to invent philosophy and philosophers, psychology and psychologists.

So, I'm convinced it constitutes a simpler explanation.

Take dogs, for example, we share something like 84% same DNA. Great apes 98.8% or so.

This starts to slide in to this idea I have about how people say "everyone is different". No, no we are not. We are way more alike than the cumulative sum of our differences.

It would be way simpler, in my opinion, to assume other animals, at least some of them anyway, are capable of most of the same emotions we are. Then we can work out to what extent we care.

I don't think the relationship between monopoly behavior is directly correlated with size. Your solution is a "one size fits all" approach will would probably cause problems for big markets with non-monopoly players.
But during that time, they're not just learning the new language, they're also learning your environment, applications, and tools, which they have to spend anyway. In my opinion, that could accelerate their learning of the language, by seeing it used "for real", rather than in a more restricted tutorial context.
I know! There was an article in the NYT once about the supposed Silicon Valley craze for socks as fashion statements. I don't think the authors realized they were being trolled.

This is somewhat the dream of matrix organizations, but has it's own set of problems.

But fundamentally, if you can't move the decision making power/responsibility/(+ to some degree compensation) out to non-traditional locations in your org structure, you'll naturally have to move those people towards the more traditional locations....

You may be mixing home and business cases here. But presumably if these issues are important, you should be licensing Windows 10 Enterprise, and disabling any components you dislike.

From my personal experience, almost all of Windows 10's annoyances are relatively trivial to manage in a domain environment (if you've ever had a forced reboot on a domain, you just don't know how to manage a domain, Enterprise licensing is not required to manage updates fully) and I would say our overall system stability has gone up probably tenfold since shifting to a fully Windows 10 environment, alongside switching to solid state drives.
If someone broke into their account somehow and published a version to the Chrome Web Store, they could do that.

I suggest adding an alert anytime a new version of the extension is published, or if you already get an email from Chrome Web Store each time a new extension is published or the email addresses of the Chrome Web Store account are changed (npm does this I believe), to make sure it gets sent to an inbox that's actively monitored.

I've never done this in C/C++ specifically but I have to imagine that the GTK bindings are mostly language agnostic. Using a tool like Glade[0], you can build a GTK GUI with ease.

Glade was released 21 years ago.

I don’t have any hope for system integration without a major culture shift in the government, but I do think that the expansion projects that are in progress are likely to be completed eventually.
The $25B revenue cut off seems really arbitrary and ignore different types of businesses. Some business (like Walmart) have super high revenues, but relatively small profits. While others are smaller revenue, but super high profits.

I know this proposal is just for tech companies, but it seems like it will create as many problems as it solves.

I'm not disagreeing with the idea that Musk would shoot for using Starship for tourism, but I also think that I wouldn't put it past SpaceX to continue toward qualifying a reusable Dragon 2.

They are already getting good experience (and can experiment with) Dragon Cargo capsule re-use to better understand the impact of salt water landings on their designs. And while it would be hard to find space for the landing struts to go back into D2, if that meant doing a parachute landing with a last minute landing burn similar to what Blue Origin has proposed in their sub-orbital offering and is currently used on Soyuz, I could see that working with a landing in Texas.

What amazes me that this seems like a "small" amount of engineering to go from where they are, to a capability that was previously considered impossible by many. I'm sure it is way more complex than I realize, but they have some so far from where they started.
Optical computing fascinates me. Imagine an intelligence based on that.
"Killer whale" is a mistranslated. Nobody ever really thought of them as whales. In english, "killer whale" means a whale that is a killer. French and english swap words and this moved from french to english without the swap. The proper translation should have been "Killer of whales" or "whale killer", the thing that kills whales.
Read the fine article. It explains in detail why "number of bugs" doesn't matter. Each successive version of Windows has an increased number of mitigation technologies, making bugs in general less exploitable.
As much as I love to see Open source solutions to problems having looked at the website this seems like a disaster waiting to happen without any sort of driver vetting. You’ve effectively made an app where people can broadcast to random strangers that they’re waiting around in the street, carrying cash, and far enough from home to need a lift. Sadly we don’t live in a world where something like that isn’t going to be flooded by people with ideas other than making a few bucks driving people home.

3 out of ~7-8 people I know in the Mission (uncertainty is because of different definitions of "know" and "the Mission" - is Dolores Triangle part of the Mission? Bernal?) have gotten mugged. One was on 16th & Folsom, another around 24th or 25th & Mission walking home to Bernal Heights, a third around 22nd & Van Ness. This is also over a fairly long period of time - over 10 years or so, though the people in question largely don't live in the Mission anymore.

It seems like the East side of the Mission (Folsom & Van Ness) is significantly less safe than the west side (Valencia & Guerrero) - I'll walk down Valencia and feel perfectly safe, while I'm always looking around me between Mission & Folsom.
This makes me think of Wittgenstein's point that words shape our reality and also limit our perception of reality. "Emotion" is a word that's a human construct.

Going along with this human construct, I wonder what the boundaries are among humans and animals when it comes to "emotions". Are there certain emotions that animals have that we can't tap into and, therefore, never experience?

And to go further, what role do sensory organs have with emotions? Does access to certain sensory organs influence this? For instance, fishes have access to the lateral line system to help them sense pressure gradients and their surroundings. It could be that they have unique emotions.
They're not stifling innovation. Their successes have had massive spillover effects helping other companies to innovate. The Golden Goose is still laying eggs.

This isn't Standard Oil. It's not Ma Bell. When they stop innovating and start extracting rents we can have a reasonable conversation about breaking them up.
I remember reading than from a radio emissions standpoint, we wouldn't detect our activity if it was happening on a planet in the closest star system. I don't know about other methods but very interested too.
Yeah - reminds me of the time when I was shocked when I first saw american TV shows where the character just gets on the bed or sofa with their shoes on ... and I thought, "Don't they realise how unhygienic that is?"
This implies that the vision itself is to blame and ignores the actual causes of crashes.

A computer doesn't get distracted by a text message. A computer doesn't get drunk. A computer doesn't day dream.

Cases where a crash happens and the person at fault says something like "I didn't see them!", it's usually because they didn't even look, a mistake a computer won't make.
Self-aware consciousness is a pretty high bar, but how about the ability to experience suffering? The ability to experience reward? That question very quickly turns into "what is experience", or rather, "what isn't experience".

I don't find any of this intuitive, nor do I have answers to the ethical questions that follow (besides not eating animals, which I already don't). But I find it revealing how most people will fight tooth and nail to maintain that there is some magical threshold separating dead matter from precious, conscious life, without having given the topic much thought at all.
What's the surprise here? If anything I would expect animals to be even more emotional than humans. Emotions are something primal, something that came to be before conciousnes. Animals are emotional and all they ever do is act on their emotions, whether that is: hunger, fear, joy, lust, etc.

The human-specific part of mind is the rational part, planning, reflecting, self-correcting, etc. Animals never come close to humans in this regard.

Maybe he was just hungry... many big herbivores like cows and deer eat small animals gladly when available.

Maybe the leopard taking care of the gazella's calf after eating their mum is thinking "I'll save this tasty snack for later" and protects it from other predators for selfish reasons.

Our interpretation of what are thinking the animals can be wrong.

I can’t speak for the person you are talking to, but I feel the same way he does so I think I can help explain. I don’t depend on psychedelics on an ongoing basis. They taught me how to think in a different way. They are part of my education.

I’ve seen the damage that drug addiction can do, so I understand your caution. But they are nothing like addictive depressants or stimulants. The drugs are actually somewhat unpleasant while the effects take told, and you feel better from the after-effects when they wear off. You also get a lot of tolerance after a single dose. This means that the compulsive redosing behavior that leads to dependence simply doesn’t happen.
Would you be similarly comfortable with your cell provider censoring your calls and/or texts? After all, it's unacceptable to force them not to censor whatever they feel like.

Supposedly it takes almost 60,000 IU a day for a long period of time to cause harmful levels of calcium in your blood. All supplements recommend 1 dose a day and the largest dosage is 10,000 IU.

Human brains, which are general intelligences, exist, and are collections of atoms.

I'll happily, for $500,000/copy, upfront, promise to sell you artificial general intelligences. I swear I'll get them built in the next two years.

There is, after all, no first principle reason for why my promise isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Human brains are collections of atoms, so we should be able to, out of atoms, build artificial general intelligences.

I have some early memories from when I could barely talk. Back then, the world was composed almost entirely of emotions. They completely dominated the scene. Not only that, but my brain was smaller and less physically developed, so I had reduced capacities as well.

I think animals are exactly the same. Of course, animals' brains never develop past that stage ruled by emotion.

As a result of this, I believe anyone can do a thought experiment to see the world as an animal sees it: just think of very early memories from right when you first learned to talk. That is what being an animal is like.
Another way for resolving the dissonance, is to assume that torturing young children is worse than torturing pigs because young children can become more sophisticated than pigs.

But i agree with you that eventually we'll stop treating animals the way we treat them now, because growing meat in a lab will be cheaper, making majority of the people indifferent, and allowing the minority of the people who care to pass stricter laws (though i am not sure if that would work for fish, and for abolishing all the hunting).
Also the meme might be "poor people are forced into exploitative situations". Nobody would assume that a fast food clerk, for example, is dumb enough to consider the job good.
