The linked Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) wikipage only provides a hard-to-read Youtube video or software download as sources. Here's a link to the 16-question quiz from aphantasia.com (JS required): https://aphantasia.com/quiz/

I'll add a YMMV, as aphantasia.com adds the following caveats: "...it can be hard to classify the vividness of a mental image on a scale from 1-5 when you have nothing to use as a reference point. It is difficult to rank your vividness of mental imagery when you can’t know how strongly other people visualize. The test asks you to compare the vision in your head with how you know it looks in real life in order to reconcile this somewhat: is the scenario you are being asked to visualize equally vivid to its real world counterpart, a little less vivid, or not vivid at all/non-existent?

Further, any test that relies on self-reporting will always be subject to some bias due to the fact that you are more likely to subconsciously (or consciously) choose answers that will give you the result that you want. "
While reading your first two sentences I just imagined it on the detail level of xkcd comics.

Then when reading your question about the viewpoint the details increased and saw the stream from the perspective from a top of a building. The man did not wear any clothes. I could not tell the material of the store front because it's just as it were roughly sketched. When thinking about the man in the store a scene from little britain [1] comes to my mind.

edit: actually when thinking about it most images in my head are mashups of memories. Like I am sure the street I imagined comes from either a tv show or some language learning materials that where used to introduce vocabulary related to shopping or urban life.
I'd imagine the processing power required to detect whether or not a video feed contains a cat doesn't jive well with sharing a CPU with something presumably-realtime-sensitive like driving a motor to open a door.
Specifically this part from the linked profile:

"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software."
Totally agree with you about the whole conference.

This new API is additive and not a breaking change, much like React's addition of hooks.
Not sure where the negative reaction is coming from for this comment. It's a perfect analogy. You can swap Republican and Democrat in every place if you'd like; the problem is the same. It's presented as if we have a predicate like "PARTISAN believes X" and another predicate like "OTHER_PARTISAN estimates that for all PARTISAN P, (P believes X)".

But it's not as clean as this. Because of the messiness of natural language -- which goes double for political language -- there's no guaranteed equality between the two Xs.

Ah this was so surprising to me as well. It was mind blowing suddenly realizing how powerful other people's visual imagination is.

Allow me to contribute to the sample size:

I probably have aphantasia. It requires a lot of effort to imagine simple, basic visual details when thinking of something. I am terrible at describing faces of people I see every day, let alone strangers.

But when I do see someone I know, I usually recognize them instantly, even if their face changed a bit (facial hair change, long time no see etc).

I also am great with names. Once I get to know someone, I'll probably remember their name for a very long time (decades). I can remember the full name of most of my friends from 15 years ago. But other than that, my memory is really bad.

I do have one odd thing that I've always wondered. Most women's faces look like the same to me. In movies, I have a hard time knowing which women they are talking about (and it takes some time to associate a name to a face). Yet, I have no such problem with men.

Possibly related, I am attracted to men, which could explain why I can easily differentiate each men, but most women look the same for me.

Anyone with similar experiences?

A related subject to this is auditory "visualization" and I wonder if that could be a way to study it some more:

1. Get a group of test subjects who can all read music as a baseline

2. Get them to self-assess on how well they can "hear" imagined notes.

3. Give them a pitch test to see how well their "internally heard" note matches a pitch?

The hypothesis being that those with perfect pitch have a really great internal "ear".

IMO, at this point you're not paying so much for the pi, but rather for the community and accessories. It's the entire environment that makes the pi useful; not just the hardware.

(I speak as someone who sucks at programming and doesn't spend a 1/100th of the time learning the latest as I used too as a teen. So having the community around to help with my latest project that I need something more than a microcontroller for, is immensely worthwhile. Obviously those who don't need these types of spillovers would probably be better served with other hardware.)

I imagine the man walking right to left from the other side of the street, the scene was black & white like an old movie and the man was dressed accordingly, hat included, the shop front made of wood panels.

Teaching robots what humans want
These are all good ideas, but the ferocity of change worries me. And I'm the sort of person who thinks climate change is the single biggest policy issue facing our country (and all the other countries) and and spending big $ personally to reduce my impact.

My fear is that we take a big sledgehammer to the fossil fuel industry and infrastructure, and in so doing also take a big sledgehammer to our entire economy. So big in fact that we face a generational backlash against de-carbonizing.

It takes time to make big shifts like this. People can't switch from fossil-dependent careers to renewable-dependent careers in a week, or even a year. We have to ramp up the renewable infrastructure at the same pace we wind down the legacy infrastructure, and in a way that doesn't bankrupt entire towns and even states.

Maybe it's not possible to tackle this without great pain to a lot of people. Maybe if we had a 'Pearl Harbor' type event that galvanized a super majority of americans into action and sacrifice...

I'm pessimistic that we'll have that moment, that we'll change that many minds, or that we'll have the fortitude and resolve to do what must be done.

But I'm glad Inslee is doing what he's doing, and working through the policies we'd need to get there, not just talking about doing "something".

Very specifically, if a site has applied editorial discretion like a publisher does, it is then liable for what is said. If it just reposts content provided by others, it has a safe harbor.

Personally, I suspect an analogy along the lines of... if my brain has a GPU to process what I actually see with my eyes, then the conjured images in my minds-eye are just my brain leveraging that GPU for processing other thoughts or memories. As a consequence, I get a sensation similar to "seeing" when I think. Perhaps people with aphantasia can't input their own thoughts into their GPU?

Abuse scandals erode user trust in the product which is bad because growth over everything seems to be the name of the game. Worse for publicly traded companies as it could impact dollars. Not so much anymore as the news cycles are so short that the impact on the stock only lasts a couple days before bots buy up the dip.

“Perception is reality” was an internal slogan at the time. So if users (at the time) believed it was evil maybe they leave or maybe a possible new users chooses not to sign up.

The other thing too is employees abusing such a tool with other employees. When you use super you assume the user id of the user of your choice. That’s pretty dangerous and there are way better ways of helping a user fix an account issue than signing in as them. If employees can’t trust each other not to snoop then how can users trust the company not to snoop? It had to be addressed internally at the time of the intern that was creeping on someone and that’s when things started getting locked down and more auditing applied. But I think it boils down to PR. If you run a company online trust is everything. I’m sure this crowd understands that nothing online is secure but Facebook was built for the masses and they need to have that blind trust that they’re personal lives are private.
They see the URL I’m requesting. It’s trivial for them to request that same content.

I've found that it is much harder to trust people on the internet now.
This raises a question about co-founder responsibility and subterfuge though. I think in terms of ability, an 'A player' can probably easily tell the level of ability of another 'A player' that works in the same domain as them, but if you're thinking of bringing on a co-founder because you can handle the technical aspects, but need a business-person, can you as a talented specialist judge how good someone is at something completely un-related? I think there is potential hubris there.

One "downside" of AWS is we've rolled a lot of custom solutions like this, at significant time/expense, only to have them be made obsolete by eventual native feature support. So we get left with a mixture of legacy systems using the custom solution and newer ones using native support and it makes things more complicated. It's actually a good problem to have in many ways, and basically unavoidable in many circumstances, but an interesting dynamic nonetheless. Reminds me of interstellar wait calculation[0] - do we defer dependent features until there's native support, or forge ahead knowing there's a likelihood of being 'overtaken'?

> I think we really just disagree on the definition of the word "able".

In one sense, "X% able," means "if you held a gun to their heads, X% end up pulling it off." My wife can code and debug. There's no way in hell she'd ever do it for a job. However, if she was in a real life instance of "Saw" and she had to debug something to save my life, I'd like to think she'd at least try.

In a practical survey sense in the western world, it means, "X% of the people you can get to participate." It's nonsense to talk about it in the 1st sense, unless you happen to be a totalitarian dictator with lackeys who would hold a gun to the subject's heads.

That's kind of an odd parallel to draw.

It's an apt parallel. Not all programmers have the inclination to do assembly. However, you can still do an experiment on the population who will. Does the sub-population of subjects you can get affect things? Maybe, but I don't think it makes too much of a difference here.
To nitpick a little, Clojure maps are hash array mapped tries and vectors are trees with a highish radix and some push/shift optimization. As you said, they are collections with value semantics which is pretty great.
GoFundMe plants flag over Folau as Australia reacts to page being pulled
This isn't about ego depletion, but about his mistakes on priming (which also failed to replicate), Kahneman writes:

"""
My position when I wrote “Thinking, Fast and Slow” was that if a large body of evidence published in reputable journals supports an initially implausible conclusion, then scientific norms require us to believe that conclusion. Implausibility is not sufficient to justify disbelief, and belief in well-supported scientific conclusions is not optional. This position still seems reasonable to me – it is why I think people should believe in climate change. But the argument only holds when all relevant results are published.

I knew, of course, that the results of priming studies were based on small samples, that the effect sizes were perhaps implausibly large, and that no single study was conclusive on its own. What impressed me was the unanimity and coherence of the results reported by many laboratories. I concluded that priming effects are easy for skilled experimenters to induce, and that they are robust. However, I now understand that my reasoning was flawed and that I should have known better. Unanimity of underpowered studies provides compelling evidence for the existence of a severe file-drawer problem (and/or p-hacking). The argument is inescapable: Studies that are underpowered for the detection of plausible effects must occasionally return non-significant results even when the research hypothesis is true – the absence of these results is evidence that something is amiss in the published record. Furthermore, the existence of a substantial file-drawer effect undermines the two main tools that psychologists use to accumulate evidence for a broad hypotheses: meta-analysis and conceptual replication. Clearly, the experimental evidence for the ideas I presented in that chapter was significantly weaker than I believed when I wrote it. This was simply an error: I knew all I needed to know to moderate my enthusiasm for the surprising and elegant findings that I cited, but I did not think it through. When questions were later raised about the robustness of priming results I hoped that the authors of this research would rally to bolster their case by stronger evidence, but this did not happen.

As I've said, 100k puts you in the 12% bracket for company income. If you were receiving the salary as an employee, you'd give 35% of that. Employer would have a cost of ~200k. If your services are charged through your company, the cost is 100k for the employer, and you keep 88% when cashing out.
