Oh good. Now the community here will bend over backwards defending him again. It's tiresome and misguided.

1. He said controversial stuff.

2. He's a representative of organizations that don't want him to say controversial stuff.

3. He got kicked around for it.

Quit defending his behavior. It's not a good look. It doesn't matter if you think he's "technically correct" (which is highly debatable, anyway).

You're enabling bad behavior if you think this should go on without any kind of blowback.

This is the tech version of "locker room talk". It's all good so long as you're on the same team, right?

I bought the book. Chapter 13 deals with 'Why Computers Can't Experience'. The author has layers and layers of theory and a very detailed discussion of the mechanics of a modern processor. But the author seems to have some fundamental inability to distinguish between layers of abstraction. That even though the fundamentals of a computer circuit are very simple, such a circuit could be used to simulate a very rich model. The author sees nowhere in the circuit where experience could happen. But the 'experience' would be within the model, not within the circuit.

Its basically a book about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_information_theory apparently

Yes, in the long run it might cost more than the nominal sticker price of bailing them out. But losing their contribution to the economy may also cost more in the long run. I don't know which is greater, but it seems reasonable that it might be as good to have a policy of intervention. Somewhat like what is done with banks & the FDIC providing both assistance in securing customer money and at the same time a very orderly unwinding of the business, often restructuring & take over by another party. That might be better than letting it crash into insolvency at full speed.

But honestly I don't know: I don't think there's an easy calculation here, and probably it's best for a country to take these things on a case by case basis. I think it's reasonable to not bail out TC, but I also think the alternative could have a rational basis as well.

This sort of thing is inevitable given the trend of weaponizing social media history. No one with any online presence can, over a long enough time scale, go without eventually posting something stupid, or something that can be construed as offensive. Especially when the line between what is acceptable humor and not shifts over time.

The media has made a lot of hay crucifying people lately. The only way to push back against that effectively does seem to be deploying their own tactics against them in this kind of mutually assured destruction.

There is a high level of hubris in penning a story dragging someone for stupid tweets made as a teenager, and not bothering to at least scrub your own timeline before publishing.
> they would have to rebuild their entire worldview around gender

I don't really understand this. When I'm talking to an adopted child, I have no trouble calling their parents their parents, even though they're objectively guardians. When I'm dining with religious folks, I have no trouble saying "Amen" or some such phrase from their religion despite me being an atheist.

Saying something you don't objectively believe out of consideration for others' feelings is normal, and it's fairly basic manners.

That artificial trachea transplant is well known in Sweden since the lead of the project who carries the bulk of the blame for the research fraud, Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, used the Karolinska Institute as his base and the scandal resulted in KI replacing the board and the president because of how they supported him in spite of evidence. Since KI is involved in awarding the Nobel Prize in medicine we were very worried in Sweden if this was evidence of a culture that would compromise that process as well.

If she would've had that on her resume over here, sheesh, that would not have looked good. Especially if she claimed that her work saved a patient's life.
I mean to be fair, he might have dug into the old tweets just as a matter of course, not necessarily to "find dirt".

Publishing them is a different story, however.

>But I assume they got the goodwill into their balance sheet by typical mismanagement:

Virtually every company will have a market value greater than their book value. So any company that buys other companies will have goodwill on their balance sheet. Google, for example, has 18 billion dollars worth from all of their various acquisitions.

Take a company like Nest for example. They had assets like patents, infrastructure, cash, accounts receivable, etc. If you add those all up and subtract their liabilities you get a book value of 100 million, as a totally made up number. Google comes along and buys them for 3.2 billion dollars. The transaction, from a book value perspective, has 3.2 billion in cash going out from Google and 100 million dollars of assets coming back. That looks like Google paid 3.2 billion for 100 million in assets, or in other words, just lost 3.1 billion dollars of value. To prevent that goodwill is added to the equation. The books have Google paying 3.2 billion dollars in cash for 100 million in assets and 3.1 billion in goodwill. Now Google paid 3.2 billion in cash for 3.2 billion in assets and it doesn't look like they lost value.
As an educated guess (I don't work, and have never worked, for Lloyds)...

Funding initiatives to move from paper to online are likely to be given priority based on metrics. These will be things like league tables, customer satisfaction surveys etc.

The question "how was your experience removing yourself as a signatory of a business account?" probably doesn't come up much in any of those, so the workflow has probably never been funded. However, parts of it may have been e.g. all business forms must be available online, or some such.

It's possible that certain actions on accounts must be received in writing (not 100% sure about that). Otherwise, this will probably get resolved at some point but likely through a cost reduction exercise rather than a workflow one.

Anyway, don't see this as some form of justification, it clearly isn't. But I have a reasonable amount of experience in how organisations like this function.
I think the author is suggesting to cross the world figuratively, not literally.

Does anyone know what's the status of Typescript support in Svelte is? This thread is understandably locked:

Still I'm curious.

Typescript and RxJS (or MobX) with Svelte as the afterthought (https://michel.codes/blogs/ui-as-an-afterthought) would be a nice combo.

Responses are out of proportion because the media hugely distorts and misleads on every single topic in service of the goal of getting more shares. They'll always try and give a view that is as interesting/outrageous/satisfying as possible, using phrasing and selective ommissions.

Then people hear those stories and relay the insinuations rather than the actual reported facts (news media is generally very good at conveying X while only literally stating Y, Vice was unusually crude and shoddy this time).

The post I am replying to is an excellent example of the end result of this game of telephone.

Very impressive. But is the network distilling mathematical knowledge, or merely extracting a long list of pattern matching rules? It seems the latter.

> If "a thing can't be null/nothing", then you've made an error in making it an optional.

I don't disagree with this, but I can point out gobs of places in AppKit where Apple has arguably 'made an error' and I can't do anything about it. Or in third-party C libraries, which hold 99% of the functionality I ultimately need, and were not designed for having nice Swift programming interfaces.

I feel like everyone saying "never force unwrap!" must be writing pure-Swift standalone functions, with no dependencies, including the operating system. The API for writing items to the Mac clipboard still documents that it can throw exceptions, which are impossible to catch in Swift!
I said that sign language has linguistic structure so it's language.

Proper language requires this structure, just making sings is not automatically language. Just the ability to signal using single atomic words, in some medium (signs, verbal, written, machine) is not a language.
The schemes I ran into as a kid used bad sectors as the proof of authenticity - literally the medium had a hole punched in it.
> “The cloud” will always have too much latency to do acceptable vr.

Perhaps but you haven't established that.

> To meet your deadline for a 120hz video frame, your signal can travel at most 1500 miles in a vacuum, closer to 1000 miles in copper/fiber.

Edge computing is a feature of some modern clouds, and certainly is intended to have much lower round trip distance than that to at least major markets, specifically to reduce latency.

Admittedly, public cloud offerings don't tend currently to have compute resource suitable for hosting VR in their edge offerings, but it's certainly something a major cloud player supporting their own gaming/VR offering could do, and for that matter a feature that it is easy enough for public cloud vendors to offer if there was sufficient demand.

He says "As for \"they\", if you are plural by nature — for instance, if you are a colonial organism or a group mind, or if you wish to be known for having multiple personalities — I will use that plural pronoun to refer to you.", which seems fair to me.

>> I wouldn't have to deal with their backwards and incapable UI.

Well, that’s, like, your opinion, man...

No, seriously, I feel the same way about Windows’ UI. I mean, did you ever use Windows 8? And Windows 10 has built-in ads by default in the UI/UX?

Windows XP SP3 was peak Windows, IMHO - the awful part about them making an abortive mess bastard child of the UI/UX in 8 was that there are millions of non-techie people who literally know how to follow one sequence of events on their computer, and that usually starts with ‘press start’.

Windows 8’s awfulness is probably what drove a lot of those people to iPads. If you’re learning a new user interface idiom anyways, and even Microsoft Office is on the iPad; why stick with Windows?
They also automatically turn on in the car wash.

Exactly, it's this simple. I also like another definition proposed here by another commenter: "the ability to experience positive and negative mental states".

I don't understand the confusion about the definition of consciousness. It's actually the one thing that is most obvious, because it's right there all the time. This is like trying to define the experience of seeing "blue" or any other qualia. It's impossible because it's subjective, but we can all agree that we each have an experience of seeing blue.
I didn't do it lightly, I haven't owned Windows machine in 17 years.

Good feedback. I agree with your first point. I think that outside of Silicon Valley we actually have a crisis of lack of access to early-stage capital for entrepreneurs (and hence the multi-decade decline in new business starts).

There are a lot of both underserved and underrepresented entrepreneurs right now and and it's a real challenge to define the area of focus.

Point is well taken about not just writing a check. I don't get into it in this specific post because the pitch is basically Typical Earnest + a focus on underrep'd founders. But Typical Earnest already includes a community, shared resources, and access to an awesome group of mentors: https://earnestcapital.com/about/
Going through 7 years worth of tweets? That seems excessive for a cursory "background check" of someones social media - which, according to the letter from the editors - was how they found them, and was "standard policy" [1].
