Not a mystery at all, unless you start with the premise of the "Human Exceptionalism" and as jolux rightfully points here, the publisher Discovery Institute has even a whole department called "the Center on Human Exceptionalism."

That's how they start from the false premise and come to the false confirmation of that false premise with a religious answer that it's "a mystery."

Interestingly, the editor of this particular publication writes in his article that he is aware that one doesn't have to start from such a false premise, but that they go "way beyond this":

https://mindmatters.ai/2018/07/why-mind-matters-matters/

"Consciousness, for example, is defined in the dictionary as being aware of your surroundings. A robot with environmental sensors is conscious by this definition. In our discussions, the topic of AI consciousness is way beyond this."

At least he doesn't use in that text the direct "it's a mystery" approach. But looking at the titles of the articles there where he's an editor we see:

"Possible Minds?: But What If the Minds Are Impossible?"

"New Evangelical Statement on AI is Balanced and Well-Informed "

"Why Apes Are Not Spiritual Beings"

"Things Exist That Are Unknowable"

Etc.
Yeah

Answering for GP:

1. Education (how to form solid arguments and how to view topics from multiple sides)

2. Plurifomity. By combining people from different social-economic groups. Basically an anti divide and conquer which state sponsored media have driven us towards.

3. Acceptance. Everyone picks their fruits of freedom of speech. Just because the fruits of one are the pains of others does not mean we should throw the baby away with the bath water.

4. New policy and law. The anti-vac movement indicates the necessity of new laws and policies. Perhaps vaccines should be mandatory. Perhaps we should let the anti-vaccers pay for the damages.

5. Work on the public perception of that which is embattled. In this case of anti-vac it is science as a whole.

In my opinion we should do loads and loads more of #2, but it seems everyone and everything is in its own filter bubble. We need much more social cohesion.

Way back in 2008 [1] there was a guy on reddit who said he went to China and got stem cell therapy and went from being a paraplegic to not being one. Everyone in the thread refused to believe him. They did this recently in an experimental procedure in America and suddenly, it's reality.

There's something really deep in American culture that says that all medical breakthroughs must occur in the United States or they're frauds.

This. As long as the nest boxes have fresh hay in them and you keep track of any nests (and brooding hens) in the garden, then the eggs rarely need cleaning.

We had one hen who insisted on doing her business in the nest boxes and that obviously ruined the fun. The soup was really nice though. :D
It's a simple question with a simple answer, yet it sounds curious and draws you in. The answer really shouldn't surprise you at all. In fact, you could be forgiven for reading and coming out on the other side of your reading experience asking yourself "why did I read this again?". If that is not clickbait, then what is it?
Thanks, that sounds reasonable as an explanation. The corporate setting makes sense as an extension of the "we're a family"-leadership style.

Microsoft not only saw mobile coming, Windows Mobile (CE/Pocket PC) was out years before Android and iOS and was decently popular as a smart phone OS. HTC made dozens of models under its own brand and for other manufacturers.

But if techies pull their nose up for your platform, you have a long term problem because techies are the people that produce the things that make your platform long term viable.

Techies don’t matter. The people that were making Windows viable were Microsoft themselves with Office, other major software vendors, and the dark matter developers writing bespoke software that never saw the light of day outside of internal use. There is a reason that VB6 still shows up in Stack Overflow rankings almost 20 years after MS abandoned it.

What were developers going to do? Ignore 90% of the market and wait for the year of Linux on the desktop?

IIS was used plenty for corporate Intranets and many low bandwidth sites. The dark matter developers who develop for the enterprise and go home at night and don’t post on HN or before that Slashdot are everywhere.

This is a lot of good work and thinking put in to a technical solution to something that’s not a technical problem.

The reason that software is online is a business one, not a technical one.

Software as a Service is impossible to pirate and generates continuous income rather than a single upfront fee. That’s all you really need to know to understand why there is less and less desktop software coming to the market these days.

So yeah, sure, if you were to build a piece of desktop software from a clean sheet of paper today, this is a really good guide on how to do that. But nobody is going to. Because it makes no business sense to do so.
This is a cool thing to do. I followed a slightly similar path in that my undergraduate degree did biochemistry up to 3rd year, but at the expense of third year pure math courses. (I had a kind of applied PDEs and modelling course but applied to biological problems like gene flow, disease modelling and population modelling.)

I ended up doing honours in bioinformatics, but then took a year to do third year pure math (and the honours course in lattice theory and topology). After this I ended up doing what I really wanted to, which was an MSc in pure mathematics.

I also did probably the first 1/3 of Strang's course (even though I had already done linear algebra formally in my original course). I think online math courses are a mixed bag and it could even be that it works better when you have an idea already of why you want to do it and the applications thereof. Applications need not imply applied math—you can apply mathematics to other branches of mathematics.

The more difficult thing for me is to independently find research topics and subtopics. Mentorship in mathematics is very important.
Google's Hardest Interview Questions for Software Engineers
Fairly shocking to me that Yuan Cao received literally a single glancing mention here, but he was clearly the one who actually made the pivotal discovery, and is the first author on the Nature paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature26154), and was the one named to the Nature 10 in 2018 for his discovery.

Really mind boggling that this entire piece focuses all the attention on his supervisor and almost neglects to mention him at all.

Are you selling the technology here? I honestly thought that since you are dealing with humans dealing themselves with other humans, you ought to have some of those humans specialist (sociologist, psychologist and other humans specialist) to help you help them.

I have written in what I hope will come across a humorous, but this is extremely reminiscent of the early days of the 5 Eyes where the US was trying to sell this to its close western allies as a way to replace investment in human resources going forward by buying into technology. And surely the technology side is tremendous these days, but it hasn't eliminated the need for human resources. We are dealing with human through those systems (technological or organisational).

A lot of what they say is really obvious, except if you are an incredibly toxic individual. The core problem with this is not that it won't work IMO, it's that the right people won't internalise the advice.

If you were genuinely questioning whether this advice makes a difference, I'm happy for you. You've apparently never had to see the examples of where it is not applied. I can tell you from experience that working in a team with one or more toxic leaders is like dying a slow death every day you come to work.
LawTech London Podcast: Rethinking Contracts with Richard Mabey
Ethanol is less energy-dense than 100LL, let alone JetA. This means you need to carry more of it as specific fuel consumption will go up by ~20% - 25% (estimate from the increased fuel consumption of multi-fuel car engines running on E85 (a mixture of ~85% ethanol with ~15% petrol).

Given the limited load capacity of aircraft I'd expect JetA to be the preferred route as that is actually more energy-dense than 100LL. Both ethanol as well as (something resembling) JetA can be made from renewable sources so there is no advantage either way in that respect.

That said it is not feasible to run an engine made for 100LL on JetA while conversion to ethanol in theory can be achieved without too much effort - bigger jets on a carburettor, adjusted injection mappings for fuel injection, all seals and gaskets need to be compatible with ethanol which tends to cause swelling and eventual failure in many types of synthetics.

I've converted a few motorcycle engines to run on E85 as that is a more economical fuel here in Sweden. I did the same for some smaller engines and am trying to get a chain saw to run reliably on this fuel. The big advantage here is that the exhaust fumes from E85 are far less noxious than those from petrol or syngas. The problem is that these are 2-stroke engines which depend on a fuel-oil mixture for crankcase lubrication. There are not that many suitable lubricants which mix well with E85.
There is a human looking at the photos. When you take the Eurostar you can see them sitting in a booth after the gates. If you look into the booth as you pass, you'll see a grid of photos on screen. I'm assuming they're overseeing it all rather than checking everything manually.

I noticed that these gates were quite slow ID'ing me the first couple of times I went through them but now I hardly have the time to see my face flash on the screen before the gates open. Maybe there's a human check on initial passes. Either that or their code has gotten way better or they store data that helps matching after a few uses.
At the surface he mind seem harmless, but he uses very similar tactics to Alex Jones behind the scenes. He will often make insane statements, and once he's called out on it, he pulls the "I was obviously joking, were you stupid enough to think I actually meant that" card. The issue is that his followers most definitely take him seriously, and that's exactly how he's dangerous.
Still easy to get wrong, I would say. If the lid comes of accidentally or the bottle shears when you lie on top of it, the hot water can burn you.

I don’t know what the comment to which you’ve replied said originally, but it’s true that China pays thousands of people to astroturf comments on the Internet. This fact has been established by the international press and also by the Chinese government. Furthermore, people in China aren’t stupid, and many are aware of this phenomenon as it is quite prevalent on the domestic Chinese Internet (Weibo, WeChat, etc).

Are all positive comments about China made by the “wumao army?” Of course not. Are many such comments astroturfed (Edit for clarification: speaking of the broader Internet)? Absolutely. Would it be racist to point out the existence of the large and well-funded groups paid to make such comments? I don’t think so.

Obviously, this isn’t a cudgel to be used against any pro-Chinese government comment or argument. “Wumao” is often employed as a slur. But it is 100% a real phenomenon.

It's basically a clone of the tokenizer from this python implementation https://norvig.com/lispy.html which was referenced in the introduction.

The same code has been seen in a bunch of simple/similar lisp interpreters in different languages.

To be honest I'm not sure if that was the first documented tokenizer using this simple approach, but it is definitely a common pattern for such things - and as you say it is naive at best, and buggy at worst. That said it is easy to get it working, and later fix it properly.
I think that music theory lends itself to a pace that can be dramatically increased and at the same time learnt successfully.

I don't think math works like this. I specifically decreased my pace when doing math courses that I hadn't done in undergraduate and I am glad that I took that approach. I now see any problem (given enough time) as more of a research question than just a box to tick.

A huge amount of energy is wasted distributing electricity for 10s of thousands km.
I am not sure how it can help storage though, even if you theoretically can let the electricity spin in a closed loop forever the energy density seems way too low to me.
It is clearly possible to change the direction of an objects movement without doing work on it, if you consider forces perpendicular to the direction of movement.

In other words, you can change the direction of the velocity vector without doing work, as long as the magnitude stays the same (ignoring potential energy here).

In fact, a magnetic field is unable to do work, since it always acts perpendicular to the direction of movement of the charge that it acts upon.
I get pretty irritated with intentional imprecision, as usually it's attempting to obfuscate what's actually happening. Unidirectional violence from exactly one religion should not be then generalized to a family of religions.

>> "Any" Anti PM post gets the Whatsapp admin arrested under National Security Act!

This is blatantly false. Singling out "Anti-PM" posts and demonizing only BJP (in your latter comment) is clearly biased.

Here are the instances of people being booked for "remarks" in Social media against the opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and Opposition:

[3] https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/mahesh-vikram-hegde-arrested...

There is nothing "automatic" about it. All such charges happen after off-line complaints in the police station by either party.

Rather if you would say, based on police complaints on violating Indian Penal Code, people are booked or arrested - that'll be a more reasonable statement - rather than coming out with blanket statements.

This is all pretty hyperbolic. And NO-ONE applies to you too, you are vested in the belief your candidate is a genius, especially when you pulled strings to get him in.

As long as you are thinking in absolute truths, you are missing the point imo. There is a set of good candidates for a given moment, and context, and the idea is to increase the percentage picked from that pool. The cost of missing someone from the good pool is also far smaller than picking a bad candidate.

Anecdotes of rock stars, and 10x programmers just further muddy the waters. Because those guys are the 0.1% and will be fine either way.

3.AndroChef Java Decompiler

And for selective decompilation, Smali (or) Backsmali with deodexing for system applications.

They all were plagued by different decompilation & retargeting issues of those time. I would love to see how things have changed now.

I'm sorry, but that is just not factually correct.

> With this layer, an egg cannot be invaded by bacteria after it's been laid.

They spray mineral oil, which works just as well. This layer the chicken leaves is just some oil, not magic. You do NOT need to refrigerate washed eggs in the US. You just don't.

Try it if you don't believe me. Take some eggs and leave them out for 2 months - they'll be just fine.

> washing them means you have to protect the egg yourself a lot more, otherwise salmonella and other bacteria can infect it.

See this is not factual either. Salmonella infects the eggs before they are laid, not after. That's why vaccinating the chickens works.

And as I said above, there is no additional protection needed with washed eggs.

Refrigerating eggs in the US is SOLELY to keep salmonella from multiplying inside the eggs. Despite what this article says it is NOT about washing the eggs which is simply done because they have unsightly feces on them, that's all.
