I would add, as an aside, that the article does go well with the photo of Koch showing his slide deck to the Dalai Lama, as though to pay some kind of metaphysical penance for being a scientist. I feel like the encounter with the Dalai Lama has become a bit of a trope among the darlings of American academia. I remember seeing a lecture with Paul Eckman in which he seemed to brag about the number of hours he had logged with the Dalai Lama, not to be outdone in the breadth of his perspectives.

Consciousness is not so much a scientific problem than a political one. As far as science is concerned, "consciousness" is a word, and is vaguely defined. Therefore this discussion is more relevant about its implications in legal and political matters such as animal rights and abortion.
> Stallman has been a 'creep' for decades is all I keep hearing from people in these threads. So why is it that all his victims from decades of his 'creepy' behaviour do not come forward and LEGALLY take action against him?

Forgetting Stallman for a second - This is a weak argument. There are many reasons not to step forward with public accusations of someone; even more reasons not to take legal action; and even more reasons if that person is famous and has significant public credit.

Also, indeed, after a person casts the first stone at someone, others are quick to follow - but that doesn't mean they don't have a good reason to cast a stone; it's just an aspect of human group/mass psychology.
That for some reason disregard Ockham's wise words...
The fact you can easily make yet another To Do list app isn't very useful. If you can't easily make a very simple app then something is seriously wrong with the framework.

A much more useful question is whether or not a framework makes it easier (or faster, or better, or something) to write a complex app. In the case of Svelte, all the hard stuff (eg state management, sync'ing data from APIs, etc) is outside of the scope framework. That make Svelte much smaller and simpler, but it makes writing a complex app harder (because you need to glue some other libraries together yourself; the framework isn't doing it for you).
Which is AFAIK true in my jurisdiction. While he could be prosecuted for child abuse (if the victim is minor), but not for sexual assault or rape, as that requires mens rea, which is not here if the victim presented herself as 'entirely willing'.
The author seems to be saying that people who say they have worked hard deserve their privileges (of wealth or influence or both). I think the author hasn't thought it through enough. Virtually everybody believes they deserve what they have. Usually they believe they deserve more (and often they are angry that they don't have it). It doesn't matter how much they have or what they did to get it.

The rest is just justification. It's often not hard work that's the justification. Does the offspring of a rich parent "deserve" their parent's wealth? It will be a rare potential recipient that doesn't believe this.

Maybe "hard work" is a common justification, but I think it's probably the justification that is common in the author's circle. Saying, "You don't work hard compared to X" is such a terrible argument because the very next thing the person will say is, "But my work is more valuable". And if you say, "But your work is not as valuable as X" it will be rebuffed with, "But my work is more rare and therefore deserving of greater recognition". Or... You can go on forever.

The point is that people believe that they deserve what they have, even if they have orders of magnitude more than other people. People who are relatively well off still generally believe that they are worth more than what they receive. That's just how people are. You are not ever going to convince the average person otherwise because it is important to their self image.

How many times do you hear people expressing outrage or dismay that "at the very least I should have X", when in fact it's just an arbitrary line in the sand.

I even catch myself thinking that way. I'm a senior software developer with 30 years of experience. I should be able to afford a house and 2 cars and to raise a family with kids and have occasional vacations in exotic places. If I happen to go out to dinner and spend $250 on a single meal once in a while, I shouldn't have to think about whether I can afford it. I'm a senior developer with 30 years of experience for goodness sake. The world is pretty freaking broken if I can't have at least that!

Right?

And there hundreds (?)... thousands (?)... Well, I don't know, but probably more than I can count... people who will be looking to find some food tonight. Any food. It doesn't matter what. Probably they can't write computer programs. So I guess they don't deserve the food as much as me.... Is that what I'm saying?

But I'll tell you what. That line of reasoning isn't going to fool me! I refuse to feel bad for what I have, because I worked hard for it. I deserve it.

And that's the whole thing in a nutshell.

Yes, most of the time this might work, but it also might not. With Zapmarks you know exactly what you're getting because if the keyword doesn't match, it doesn't work. One example would be my Google Drive example, I have multiple accounts and deep link to each of them using their own keyword (drive, drive2, drivepersonal, etc) I know if I type that keyword, I will get right there.

With suggested results, you might get to the main Drive account but then will have to go through a series of steps to "switch accounts" to whatever account you're looking to access.

This is one of the big differences. Thanks for checking us out!
I'm not saying that it should be illegal to delete anything you want. What I'm saying is that doing so is tantamount to deleting history.

It doesn't matter what was the initial purpose of the internet. What matters is what it has become. The internet is a worldwide (and potentially interplanetary) interconnected public place. You can restrict information all you want but the reality is such that if something went public it's public forever. Every piece of information will be preserved somewhere in the network for as long as the internet exists. It's the reality we leave in.

> What does this even mean?

All of history before the internet is fuzzy. It was easily rewritten by anyone who controlled narrative and sources of information so the actual events or different view points are lost to the history. And as you dig farther into history the fuzzier it becomes. As I said above as long as the internet exists we can obtain different views on events and decide what is most likely happend, what was the reason it happend the way it did, etc. The internet gave us much more different sources of information to preserve history. That's why I said the real history begun with the mass adoption of the internet.
> - Ubuntu failed (I hear a community is still continuing with the SW, but not sure whether it runs on any phone HW)

Yes, it's a community effort and yes it does run on actual hardware.[0][1] A Nexus 5 is probably most stable. All the devices that were originally launched by companies in cooperation with Canonical, are also still supported. In addition, AFAIR Ubuntu touch should run on any android devices that Halium[2] supports (the purpose of Halium is for projects like KDE Mobile, Ubuntu Touch, PureOS (?) etc. to share the code needed for "normal" (GNU) Linux to run on Android devices).

>When my brother died, I was too shattered to write his obituary. There is little record of his 29 years of life; it simply vanished. When I type “Yush Gupta,” Google autofills “Yush Gupta death,” a brutal reminder that even on the internet, a space where nothing is forgotten, Yush is a mirage, slowly disappearing.

Something tells me that the author of this article wouldn't exactly be thrilled to come across her brother's posts on lookism or reddit. She should be grateful that she can't find anything.
So let me see if I get your definition of assault right:

It doesn't depend at all on alleged attacker's intentions or actions, it doesn't depend on alleged victim's actions, only thing that matters is if the alleged victim did it for one motivation (wanted it) or other (didn't want it, was forced to do it by some external factor).

I would say that any reasonable person disagrees with such definition.
Wow, this is really an interesting read! Now I want Star Trek told from the perspective of the Borg :D
It's a narrative device.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely look to improve on that. It's a hard concept to convey in text. Most people don't get it until they are shown, that's why we did the video, but we'll look at other ways to help people "get it" when they first visit our site. Thanks!
I do similar work (arguably a bit more intensive) on my 2016 MBP with the lowest specs possible (8gb ram, 2ghz cpu) and it's surprisingly silent most if not all the time.

I have around 5-6 windows with 10-15 tabs each within them as well some ssh tunnels and some other applications open (I do heavy front/backend with docker builds through ssh as well as ML work through ssh)

Is that surprising? As if a just born baby cannot have consciousness because it doesn't know a language yet.

Makes me think of mindfulness, the practice of putting consciousness first by trying to disallow thoughts while experiencing the present, proves it all to me. We think too much.

That's because "define" is undefined. For most of science (including neuroscience) consciousness would have to be defined in quantifiable, preferably testable terms. Most people (including philosophers) use qualitative or subjective definitions of it.
Yep, but Zapmarks is browser-agnostic which is a main feature.
> I'm sorry, but this isn't a prerequisite for working in the software industry. You are not allowed to vilify someone over having an opinion about gender, just like you shouldn't fire someone for having a different opinion on it than you.

Oh yes you are allowed to vilify someone for bullying LGBT folks. People who do this are literally attacking other people over who they are and what they cannot change. Just imagine it would be about the color of their skin. Gender identity or sexual/dating preferences are the same thing.

The IT industry must grow up and accept people who are not white, cis alpha males.

> For users who have a fixed TDP budget, there's a substantial difference.

I really, really don't see how. Both TDPs have very little connection to how much power the chips actually pulls at full load. 105 to 140 isn't useful in any way. If it was 107, sure, but 140 is 1/3rd higher than "spec" (I write "spec" because TDP isn't supposed to tell you what the highest power draw possible is if your cooling can dissipate more than the TDP in the first place, people just somehow seem to use it that way).

If you have a fixed TDP cooler, all you have to do is put that cooler on CPUs and see which ones will be faster. No looking at the specs required. If you have a fixed power consumption budget, but a better cooler, all you have to do is downclock until the CPU stays within that budget and then compare performance. Again, spec wasn't useful.

[I'm one of the Microsoft Research people who worked on this]

We did consider adding StackOverflow questions. Some of our queries in the CodeSearchNet challenge do actually come from StackOverflow (via StaQC [1]). It's certainly interesting to see how all other SO data can be useful for this task. Thanks for the suggestion!

The reason we didn't try this at this point:

Many people in research have tried working with SO data. In my experience I have observed an interesting problem with the data: it's deduplicated! This is great for users but bad for machine learning, since the data looks "sparse" (roughly, each concept appears once). Sparsity is an obstacle, since it's hard for most existing machine learning methods to generalize from sparse data. In contrast, in natural language there are (e.g.) multiple articles describing the same event more or less.

I know a kid who aspires to be this, he is 27. Used to be in charge of a fraternity and now has a podcast about 'hustling'. He doesn't write code, design interfaces, write copy, or have a track record of building anything. He is literally a hype man for his podcast and the startup he works for. He tells everyone 'his CEO is like a modern day Tesla' but that is FAR from the truth. He is smart sure but I've met smarter people on HN and no one here would ever claim to be 'a modern day Tesla'. I don't even think Elon is that bold. They have a 'streaming platform with lower latency'.
I read the main article which took some time to reach the conclusion a small footprint was the main point.

So I googled, found the Svelte homepage, and I'm still none the wiser as to why it might be an easy intro to web development.

Honestly, if Svelte is as easy as you suggest to get your head around, somebody needs to work on the presentation of that.

That said, i don't think "chair" is scientifically defined, because nobody does science of chairs. Consciousness on the other hand appears to be the subject of both scientific and philosophical investigation, therefore a common definition is desirable. What usually happens is the discussion derails around which definition to use.
I really like your idea of working from the joke backwards, because I think it illustrates both of our points clearly.

On one hand, writing that into plain language would take forever. By the time I'm done, I would have probably written a small book on algebra. Here, the use of jargon is definitely precise. If you wanted to present this in a topology conference, where it might be important that the number of dimensions of the space is infinite, it would be probably a good start.

On the other hand, thousands of people use git everyday without understanding a single word of this description. But if I say instead "git is a distributed version-control system for tracking changes in source code during software development", my clarity has now skyrocketed. I definitely lost a lot of precision, but my readers will still be able to replicate my results.

That's not to say that there is no necessary jargon - my own definition uses "distributed version-control", which is absolutely key for understanding what's going on.

That's another difference. With Zapmarks, there is no "most of the time". If you type a keyword you have set up, and hit enter, you will get exactly to where you wanted to be 100% of the time. Once you've got the keywords baked into your brain, accessing them from everywhere is very handy!

Ask HN: Good weekend project ideas to learn modern C++?
There was a paper on HN some years ago that in my mind settled the old question whether humans share a universal grammer to process language. The gist was that a visual image is parsed the same way as language is, with noun phrases and verb phrases combined into complex structures. It is convenient for linguists to claim that consciousness requires language. I suspect consciousness is a form of seeing and visualising oneself. Maybe a way of planning ahead by trying different solutions in the mind without doing them in the physical world.

Yes, it's probably true vice versa too like many things.
The writer touched on this point when she mentioned him analysing the physical world and her analysing social structures. It seemed that he approached this as merely a technical problem he needed to fix rather than analysing the underlying structures.

I’m into speculation here, but perhaps he lacked the intellectual breadth to consider other angles to what was going on. I find that technically successful people often think that complex social issues can be reduced to and solved as technical problems. That in my opinion misses huge amounts of complexity and nuance.

I don’t think it is correct to say he critically appraised the situation, at least sufficiently. Would we think the same if eg a black person sees that white people were more successful professionally and therefore resolved to whiten their skin? Would we all just say “sure, that’s what you’ve got to do!” and not wonder why they need to in the first place? Where should the change come from?

Of course, that said many people feel to need to conform to a situation while wanting it to be different. It’s messy. Height is a particularly odd case as it’s on the border of being an unchangeable physical characteristic. Maybe the real reason he wasn’t taken seriously was because of his race but he knew he couldn’t change that?
> People who give their firm everything they have generally get rewarded for it.

The first job I got out of college, there was a sea of Solution Architects. They all worked around 60 hours a week, if not more. If a boss said jump, they would always ask how high. If a boss told them they needed to take a red-eye tonight, they always did it. Yet every time I went into the main office, the group was entirely different.

That's an example of a group of people who drank the Kool aid, who were "generally" supposed to be rewarded.
