Like sutterbomb said, focus isn't exactly the consciousness we're talking about here. Although clearly if your name hadn't entered your consciousness you wouldn't have noticed it :)

The question of focus is pretty interesting to me, though. It seems that we are consciousness that gets to "decide" where to put our attention. There are a ton of things that can attract our attention, all through the mechanisms created by the consciousness, namely the five physical senses, our thoughts, and feelings.
You are defining a new type of science.

Much financial good advice here. Let me give you some life advice.

Cut the sugar. I presume you are American and your entire culture pretty much made you a sugar addict so this will be hard but do it. Your health depends on it. Yes, all diet advice is suspect but this is not: stop eating anything with refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup in it. With much less money than that you can already afford to hire a chef if you don't like cooking/baking.

Slow down. Destress. Learn to enjoy for real a fresh, local strawberry. Enjoy every bite. Grab a book, read on the beach at sunset. These things won't take a lot of time but now you can afford that little time and you don't need to stress on your next mortage payment, job etc so you can really enjoy these moments.
I was not, I am now blush. You're right of course.

Ask HN: Twitter perma-banned my popular bot for a false reason
I run the bot @BitmexRekt that posts liquidations (when traders lose everything) on the Bitmex exchange.

It's mildly popular on Twitter with 45k+ followers, and even got mentioned on Nouriel vs Arthur Hayes debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlZukhN_C6c (~2:50 minute mark).

Yesterday the bot was permabanned by Twitter, and Twitter is accusing me of "impersonation" which is obvious to anyone that has seen the profile that it is clearly not impersonating anyone. However Twitter is sticking to their guns and insists that the bot, which has been running for more than 3 years, is an impersonator.

Is there no way of getting a real person from Twitter to review this?

I wrote a bit more in detail here: https://github.com/LittleLightLittleFire/REKT/issues/7

Something like 60% of cancers are due to genetics - you inherit a faulty gene or a spontaneous mutation gives you one.

How much of the empirical cognitive science and neuroscience research have you read? Graziano (discussed in my reference [1]) SPECIFICALLY addresses how and why our brains generate the primordial and weird experiences you mention.

We know lots of ways our brains generate weird experiences, some built in (like dreams) and some produced by special context (any number of illusions). Why should consciousness have some special status?

probably they did that, then Roy Fielding came in, unplugged their router and wouldn't let them back on the internet til they stopped polluting their resources with metadata
Dickens had a fascination with poverty and its effects, but he did not have a fascination with wealth and its technical details. For him a wealthy person was someone who could, on a whim, help out a poor child or go on a merry adventure.
Metrics with hard numbers are always too precise to be useful. Even the well-meaning will micromanage based off the difference of a 5 or 6 on a scale of 50.

I find the key is metric obfuscation. Instead of "1023 likes", color code the post. A deep crimson for the most downvoted and a sky blue for the most upvoted on a site. The specific value is so useless anyway.
Simple Habits to Improve Your Critical Thinking
The C++ standard definition of a data race excludes races of atomics; http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n429... section 1.10.23, page 14 near the bottom:

"The execution of a program contains a data race if it contains two ... ,at least one of which is not atomic, and ..."

I don't know if it matters at all, but after hearing the news, I still fired up VLC to watch a few videos because I feel you guys have built up enough credibility and credit that such an extraordinary claim would require extraordinary evidence (which I wasn't seeing) and if there was a problem, your team would fix it ASAP.

Please keep up the awesome work, VLC is a treasure.
Hmm, interesting idea but I’m in embedded C. So that’s something I’d rather not do but I like the idea.

>> Being able to test your code out in the real world and dark launch a feature gives Tesla a ridiculous advantage.

> Is the comment I'm responding to.

And that dark launching includes sending the latest neural net builds to the fleet to safely shadow test the changes, collecting millions of hours of real-world telemetry and rapidly iterating without end users even needing to pick their nose. You either intentionally or through ignorance reduced OP's statement to being an OTA ECU update that you "could literally put that together with scraps in my garage".

But feel free to keep shifting the goal posts.

The understanding that "captured carbon" is mostly just another word for "wood" is sadly rare.
It depends on context. It's true that many CPUs provide atomicity for aligned accesses of the machine word size. However, the C/C++11 standard defines data races to be undefined behavior, so a data race in a C program still matters.
The amount of data and precision of web searches has grown enormously since the internet became active.

So, I would imagine everyone becomes more powerful over time.

What food would you expect to see instead? I also see lots of sandwiches and (in Silicon Valley) salad. Though I wish there were more healthy options, I also have to admit that some of the time when there are healthy options (veggie sticks), I choose to eat the less healthy stuff that's available.

You've actually stumbled upon the central premise of this discovery.

If you finely divide a magnet into tiny magnets and suspend the particles in a liquid, you get... a normal ferrofluid. It's magnetic in the presence of an external field, but will lose its magnetization once that field is removed. This is because permanent magnetism (i.e. ferromagnetism) is a bulk property.

Every atom has a magnetic moment, but they are normally randomly aligned and thus the macroscopic field cancels out.
It's only when these moments are aligned that a macroscopic magnetic field arises. Permanent magnets have the requisite crystalline structure for this to happen. As you chop it up, this macroscopic organization is destroyed.

If you get into the details, what they've done is to use the surface tension of the oil-in-water to "jam" an outer layer of magnetic particles and prevent them from rotating, thus preserving their magnetic alignment. This, in turn, is apparently enough to keep the free-floating, unjammed particles inside the droplet aligned as well, thus turning the entire droplet into a magnet. Pretty interesting, because without the membrane, none of the ferrofluid is magnetic, but with the membrane, all of it is.
It's not really easy to compare value of Tesla autopilot IP with mobileye.

Tesla AP is a highly integrated, custom product, that works only with Tesla cars.

I found an app called Mubert which seems close to what I want, but as with all of these generative/AI music things, they seem to carefully avoid giving straight information about price and the licence for using the music on videos.

Its also the kettle calling itself black. The kettle, the calling, the self, that's all G..Nature..Universe, whatever you wanna call it. You cannot be sure you are anything in this universe. Even a sentence like "I think therefore I am" requires short term memory. The universe could have just created you at this very moment. Its all subject to corruption, subterfuge, and undecidability. Big woop, you find out that the brain is connecting to your thinking, that still doesn't explain why you, why the universe, why the brain, and why the thinking.
Reasons the Facebook FTC Settlement is a joke
There is no neuroscience paper you can cite that can make anyone in this thread say "oh, so THAT'S why 'red' looks red!"

In this case, you're begging the question by saying "our brains." Why is there a 'we' at all? Why is there subjective experience? I don't expect to find the answer in a Hacker News thread, but I think waving off the question the way you do is ridiculous. We've had some of our best people on it for millennia for a reason!

I believe wooden building of the sort described in the article can be a solution to climate change, in the normally understood usage of the word solution, if combined with a time machine.
I can understand your fellow debater getting frustrated here. Whilst at times you each seemed to be confused about what the other is asserting (i.e., international flights vs domestic flights), at other times you are asserting things that are generally known to be incorrect.

Complementary alcohol - as a standard offering - is not normally offered to basic economy passengers on domestic flights in the U.S., and hasn't been for at least a couple of decades.

That said, some airlines offer it as a promotion on some flights [1], which may be why you have experienced it. But it's not a norm that any coach passenger could expect on any domestic flight, the way it used to be in the earlier days of commercial air travel.

The video you shared of hot towels being handed out in economy on a domestic U.S. flight was a one-off promotional event. It's also not the norm.

Like I said, I get that the two of you were talking about different things and were sometimes confused about what the other was talking about. But you did inflame things by asserting/suggesting things that aren't really the case.

You can study consciousness, but not scientifically. The "trick" is that, though you can't make a scientific instrument to detect or measure consciousness, you do have one "instrument" to use: your own consciousness. For example, two people can "merge" and experience themselves as one.
I don't think I understand the number I got from this; after putting in my info, it says that if a company put in my demographic info and got a result, it "would be me 39% of the time". Shouldn't that fraction be 1/n for some positive integer n? Are certain people with the same demographic info more likely to be returned than others? Or does the data service give close but not exact matches some percentage of the time? What am I missing?
I don't know. As I said, in case of events it is understandable (small events can't afford catering and it is probably overkill).

But I am more curious about culture as well. Pizza is very ubiquitous, and from my experience people prefer it even when they can easily choose something else to eat. Of course, many people just like pizza, but it is sort of a no-brainer to order pizza if team stays late, although it is simple to order something else.

edit: bad grammar :\

Spheres of Influence Amongst People
I asked the director of a local tissue archive here in Australia. Their specimens go back decades. The regulatory minimum is 10 years for many tissues (more for paediatrics, and indefinitely for clinically significant rarities in molecular genetics) but in practice they hold longer than they have to.

Even if there's no demand for wood, the trees should still be harvested because they can be pyrolized to produce fuel gas/oil and biochar. About 50% of the carbon can be converted to biochar, which is both a valuable soil amendment and a way to long-term sequester carbon such that it can't be easily extracted. And the carbon released by burning the remainder would have been released to the atmosphere away as the trees decayed, so it's better it does something useful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochar
Something I’m trying to get better at is to be more intentional about everything e.g. I think I’ve come to the realization that I’ve wasted a lot of time and spent time doing things I shouldn’t be doing because I allowed myself to “drift” in ways that don’t help me at all.

I do not have a family or kids, but anything that helps families be more intentional with how they spend time with each other is a really good thing. I know growing up that was far from the case for me.
> The video linked is just one person in the industry. I'm sure you could find 100 videos on seductive advertising to get people to spend money on other stuff. I'm not sure your point here.

One of many. This isn't about advertising. It's about triggering a basic randomized rewards impulse and exploiting it for money.

It's essentially a Dark Pattern that is used to drain your wallet. Except that Dark Pattern reinforces gambling addiction.

That said, I do think marketing as is, is a horribly unethical psychology/social research at best. So your point, further reinforces my view.

I'm not saying it's not useful, but so were Mengele's cliffnotes.
Love all your points. We have photos of most of the highest rated dishes, especially for delivery!

We also have a walking feature that allows you to see the highest ranked dishes around you. You can also go into a restaurant and see the best dishes at those restaurants.

We're not there with value just yet :(

We definitely want to focus on blowing up NYC. Is there a neighborhood or a couple of restaurants you would like us to add into the database?
That's one recession's worth of data, barely a trend. However if you have a look at all the other indicators that have been around for over 100 years, alarm bells are ringing left right and centre...
So your theory is that slightly wealthy people do not have insurance policies?
The type and nature don’t seem like mattering, either. How does external observation of behavior shed any light on a phenomenon only perceptible through internal experience?

Can you cite a source for this argument? I’d be interested in better understanding it, but your presentation of it has thus far not aided this goal.
Not what you're asking for, but I think you should take a look at band-in-a-box (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-in-a-Box).

When I studied music this was very interesting to me. A lot of music composition is fill-in-the-blanks / formulaic, and this generates melodies and countermelodies / accompaniment following a common (user selected) chord progression, that sounds correct and would probably pass as an assignment from an undergraduate music composition student.

There's no AI as far as I know, but if there was a Turing test for music, this would pass.

Coupled with a bit of arrangement and an original melody it can be quite nice.
This comment is full of many inaccuracies. Leaked hashed passwords still pose a risk to users on their other accounts that may use the same password. Hashing passwords prevents internal abuse and makes your site a much less juicy target (in addition to making leaks less disastrous). It also makes timing attacks far less feasible by enabling reasonable constant time comparison of the hashed password.
(1) I'm with him on her technical composition of a story being hard to tease apart (in a good way) but not so sure about them seeming unusually real or true. Structure and purpose of the novels' parts, the flow from incident to incident and scene to scene, is smooth and natural (more or less), plot, I dunno. Probably a personal thing.

(2) seems wrong to me, if by "literary" he means "broadly recognized as part of the 'Western Canon'" and not "recent works self-consciously written as literary fiction". Most read aloud really well, in my experience.

(3) Ugh.

(4) Austen's among the widest-read of the "canon", and not especially challenging (probably not an unrelated fact). This comparison is a real stretch. He couldn't think of someone better to use as an example? Huh.

(5) IDK about using it to illustrate this particular point, but yeah, basically.

If you struggle with Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility (I do—I find them too smug in a "gee look at me, the author, writing such clever things" way, though I think that's what people like about them so it must just be a me problem) try Persuasion. It's short and apparently Austen didn't get a chance to do her usual "punch-up" edit before she died, which probably explains why it comes off (to me) as less full of itself than the others and a much more agreeable read.

Emma seems to be her parody of herself, as best I can figure. I enjoyed it. Longer. Desperately wants to be a tragedy. (spoiler?) Isn't. Probably it shouldn't be, I mean she's Jane Austen and I'm just some asshole. Oh well, still good.

Haven't read Mansfield, which I understand is very well regarded, or her juvenilia. Tried Northanger but seemed pointless without a better-annotated copy, which I'll probably get around to acquiring and reading some day.
We currently deep link into other apps. You find a highly reviewed dish and then choose your preferred delivery platform (i.e. GrubHub).

We plan to build out full delivery services eventually, but we would use DoorDash to take care of the backend and logistics, so we would not be the ones actually delivering (that would be DoorDash).

Group orders is tough, and we haven't figured out how to crack that just yet :(

I’ll go a step farther and point out that it’s troubling that we feel like we need these sorts of tools to survive at home today. It seems to be a symptom of an ever increasing level of complexity in every facet of modern life.
Sooo where does one put their life savings in this scenario? I for sure am not going to follow conventional financial advice and do nothing and watch my net worth drop 50%+.
I upvoted you for adding some perspective often lacking. However you are still kind of wrong. You are right that humans will continue to live and survive.

But our civilization as we know it may very well collapse. Yes some sort of civilization will continue to exist. But this will be on par with the dark ages: not a complete destruction of human civilization but an enormous regression.

We will most likely loose a lot of our technological know-how and abilities. Events like this don't simply cause a gradual decline in standards of living. Rather they tend to cause massive outbreaks of wars, unrest, migrations, refugees, destruction etc.

Climate change in the bronze age caused nearly all major bronze age civilizations to collapse. But with this collapse we had major migration of people, wars, invasions, collapse of trade and many more things. What followed was large population declines as well as losing the ability to write and maintain organized rule, construct buildings etc.

Did all humans disappear? Of course not, that is why civilization reappeared again eventually at a later time. The same will likely happen with us. But how long will the dark ages last?

In many ways our resilience is weaker than theirs. Our trade networks are far more extensive and important than the ancient ones. What happens e.g. if the middle east, Africa and South America are turned into turmoil and we can no longer get resources extracted from either of those places?

Our economies may suffer a lot too, causing the breakout of widespread riots and unrest, overthrow of governments. If modern trade breaks down, there will be widespread famines even in the west, because many countries simply are not self sufficient. And if they are, their food production depends on a large number of imports. If they don't get hold of artificial fertilizer, fuel etc food production will collapse.

This is what we saw after the fall or Rome. Economies became far more regionalized/local. In a collapsing world economy, countries will become significantly poorer if forced to rely exclusively on local production of most essential things.
that is what everyone is basically saying...
This is certainly not what Dobbs had in mind.
Ha but when a number is uniformly "random", and the context is lost, as in it's just a bunch of bits floating around in storage, what argument is there?

Ok maybe you could catch me attempting to decrypt it, and be like "gotcha, that was in fact a secret!" But I'd reckon it would be more effective to simply wait until you finish decrypting the data, and simply take it from you.

If there are going to be laws around this, it's sure to be very pathological, and scary.
We don't have (effective) recession indicators that are 100s of years old. We're not even sure that the ones that are 25 years old still hold up in the modern day. So no, there's no alarm bells ringing "left, right, and centre." It is very possible that no recession occurs in the next few years.
