Can you source this?

The first paragraphs of the article give both direct quotes from people saying they had that experience, and then cites a report from British psychologists saying they'd observed this effect at scale. Did you read the article?

Are you saying that climate change is so widely accepted and feared that it's causing the rate of suicides to increase.

It risks doing exactly that:

"Studies from around the world document growing anxiety and depression, particularly among children, about climate change."

People aren't scared of climate change as actually observed, they're scared of what they're being fed by people like Greta Thunberg, who is lying about the expected scale of the impact. The fact that journalists, politicians and even a few scientists are saying this despite it being false is what the article is about.
I think there are some newer tests which only require maternal blood and can screen for some genetic conditions by filtering extra-cellular genetic material.
Not at all. The class definition syntax is very terse and you can use the mutable keyword for imperative programming.

In fact, I think F# is a better imperative language than C#, if you choose to use it that way.
I have the exact opposite experience - the microphone doesn't work, everything is incredibly slow, my SO is buying a Windows 10 licence this christmas. It's a shame, the user was just fine with Cinnamon on Debian 5 years ago, but that machine and software is no longer good enough.
Which is why after some industry experience, one learns to be cynic with the next cycle of "simple" languages.

Programming languages are software products as well, and to stay relevant they need to cover use cases that make developers "buy" them.

You are on point. Recency is a challenging problem in multiple ways for search engines. Not just limited to discovering new content, but also how does one index it? How does one balance out when you have for the same query "very new", "new", "slightly old" and "really old" results during ranking. This involves both news as well as new webpages surfacing on the web.

On top of this, we have to remember that this is a fully autonomous real time system which requires solving some of the most difficult engineering challenges at scale and at the same time being mindful of the latency and quality constraints.

At the end of the day, it's all about the final user experience that we ship. We are very much mindful of the same. We will be publishing more details about Cliqz search, on our blog https://0x65.dev/ in the coming days, so stay tuned.
America, a nation of temporarily embarrased millionaires. If you are currently poor, you just aren't working hard enough / smart enough and need to pull yourself up by your boot straps!

Anyone can get ahead, get the American dream! If you're poor, well, you must be lazy or stupid.

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.” -- Vonnegut.
Its not that simple, higher wages also mean that people spends more, that could actually be significant in places like McDonald's
To me the DCN picture looks ok, in convolution layer nodes receive input only from small area of the previous layer, in general this is true for convolution layers (kernels) and pooling layers. After that it has couple of fully connected layers where the connections go from every node to every node. Or have I misunderstood something in your comment?
"I really like how C# has evolved over the years"

I completely agree - I rather like how C# and .Net is progressing - sure there are new features every so often that take time to learn but isn't that the same for absolutely everything.
>Destroying records on torture with the permission of supervisors is not as there is no international requirement to preserve evidence of war crimes.

The act could be considered obstruction of justice making it a federal crime.
From an emergentist perspective there is nothing to explain - qualia are an illusion created by having a certain level of complexity in the stimuli fed into a brain.

Emergentism has a lot of easy outs once the initial assumption - that it is possible for the self to be an illusion of complexity - is made. If that is palatable then any niggle can be explained away as just part of the illusion.

And that initial assumption is a profoundly personal one, the only consciousness anyone has experience with is their own. Even if we share some initial spark of consciousness across humans there is pretty solid evidence that everyone has a different experience of reality (eg, synesthesia) that make arguing from qualia very hard. It is difficult to see how it isn't just a leap of faith either way. If it is possible, then it is basically certain. If it is impossible, then that is the end of it. Either way we can perfectly account for our experiences.

A humourous interpretation is maybe I'm a philosophical zombie where my consciousness is an emergent soup and you are a genuine consciousness with all sorts of special experiences. That really muddles the water over what the argument is even about; I would reasonably and rationally never be convinced that consciousness existed. All the evidence for the argument would be inaccessible to me but you couldn't exactly dismiss me as not being equal to yourself because you don't have evidence either way either.
Just 5 years ago, I would've considered 1600 Euros or the pound equivalent a month to be plenty of money. At the time, I was a student living in the UK. Some years earlier still, whilst back in my native baltic state, that kind of a monthly income would seem super comfortable.

Ask HN: CV and/or ML chicken tracking – recommendations for entry points?
In a research project at our agricultural department about a mobile chicken coop the movement of the chicken into and out of the coop is currently monitored by filming them and later manually counting the relevant movement on fast forward. This work is quite tedious.

We would like to support this task with some sort of ML computer vision contraption that effectively counts the chicken movement for us.

Camera placement and therefore in picture features are going to be constant over the visual material. Light conditions are going to vary since the coop is placed outdoors. Some chicken might be overlapping, possibly making a pure CV based solution a bit harder.

There is already a body of video footage which we could use for ML training purposes. We are going to have an UP² AI vision devkit at our disposal via another department.

I checked for pre-trained models, but it seems that chicken counting has not been done yet. At least I could not find any relevant material so far.

So I guess we would have to somehow generate annotated training material from the footage, use that to train a ML network, verify with test material, and then apply this trained model to the live video feed.

What are your recommendations on how to approach this? How best to generate the training material? Which kind of NN would be suited for the task? Any advice on the workflow and tools would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

It's like hey, maybe if it didn't represent a choice between mandatory abortions and sterilization, or not, this wouldn't be such a big deal.

But you put that on the table, and now people consider laying their life on the line, no big deal.

If push comes to shove, a forced abortion or mandatory sterilization will put anyone in the mood for some unceremonious destruction, burn victims and brain damage, no contest. No negotiations. Sane people don't knowingly acquiesce to those kinds of laws.

I don't see how it's perfectly plausible. In fact I see no reason to think it's plausible at all.

What does qualia (plural, btw) "are part of the emergent phenomenon" mean in practice? That just seems to be begging the question.

If you want to explain qualia, you have to do two things. The first is explain the nature of the experiencing entity. This means defining the precise mechanism by which subjective states are experienced by the entity instead of simply existing as objective state correlates. This in turn means explaining the nature of all of subjective experience.

The second is to explain the precise mechanism by which external inputs and internal states generate the experiences the entity has.

Most of the "Well it's obvious and there's no problem here" positions rely on the fallacy that defining a complicated-enough objective correlate - such as the detailed state of a computer with some form of introspection - solves the problem.

It doesn't. In fact it doesn't even begin to understand the problem. It's simply a statement of hope and faith with no empirical support that a complicated-enough state with enough introspection will somehow cross the border from automatic operation to sentient experience, just because it will, obviously.
I'm the opposite I'm cynic over languages simply adding more and more stuff.

The new languages are simple like original languages started out but with a different set of simple principles that have learned about from the previous generation.

Languages are just as much about they exclude, as well as what they include.
ITT: AMD apologists.

Sorry guys but Intel is still king of single core performance. But that's not a problem because I'm sure by 2050 most desktop applications and games will correctly make use of many cores, then AMD will reign
Well if you Google "conscious", the dictionary definition starts:

To the extent that America is still a representative democracy, Americans are responsible for importing workers who have limited rights and no representation (they can't vote, they can't contact law enforcement for help, etc).

These problems can be solved in other ways. A real world solution probably involves some workers getting paid less than they would like, and some businesses paying higher wages than they want to.

The least moral solution is to develop an illegal underclass and deny them human and political rights. This sort of thing is cancerous for a democracy and bears an unsettling resemblance to one of America's original sins, one which I'm sure I don't need to name directly, but which we knew was wrong from day one, and which we spent a lot of blood and treasure to abolish.
Think it's more about preventing use of older features which you don't want. Not stopping use of the new stuff.
But isn't it incredibly illegal to claim false certification? Sounds like all those products should be recalled and some companies should be getting steep fines.
I honestly can't tell if this is real or not. If it is: what the fuck.
Go is the latest example that starting simple and not adding features just doesn't work, if one wants to stay relevant on the market of programming languages.

It can and should be made illegal which is the only practical countermeasure for most things. (I.e. every electronic device manufacturer is relying on EMP disruption devices being illegal.)

In Switzerland it is usually illegal to cover public space with CCTV and one is required to post signs visible before entering a private space with CCTV. AFAIK this rule technically would and should apply to guests and video in the home. It definitely applies to businesses filming employees.

I think the big changes between .net framework and . Net Core weren't that big for a project.

And it got a lot faster.
Years ago we settled on using block device encryption for all flash storage and then destroying the headers or revoking all keys.

This satisfies the infeasibility requirement of NIST SP 800-88 without relying on flash vendors to have appropriately implemented ATA command standards like secure erase, which almost none fully do.
My favourite eco-systems are Java, .NET and C++.

C# still has a lot to go to catch up with C++, on the language level.

On the other hand, contrary to common beliefs regarding C++'s complexity, no one is able to master the complete standard library of either Java or .NET, let alone the major frameworks that also get used alongside them.

This is even worse with Chinese webshops, where products have fake CE markings. When you order from a Chinese webshop, who is really the importer? The buyer or the shop? The shop would probably claim it's the buyer, but buyers tend to be ordinary consumers who have no idea and no means to verify any of this.

They just tried to copy F# but the implementation is ridiculously verbose and heavy.
Much better if they used all those efforts to finally introduce type classes or something equivalent in F#.

Consider all emergent phenomena that you know of. Let's say: stock market prices, ant hills, biological organisms, ecosystems, etc, etc. What all these have in common, is that they are too complex to explain in terms of individual interactions, but you can point at the individual interaction. We know that financial markets are made of transactions, of that biological organisms are made of molecular interactions, but they are too complex for us to reason in such terms.

With consciousness, the emergentists are not capable of pointing at the first principle, or building block. For me, the only coherent way to be an emergentist on consciousness is to also be a panpsychist: everything is conscious to a degree, it's just a brute fact of nature (such as, let's say, the fundamental forces).

Maybe this is the case, but I would not bet on that.

Consciousness is a phonomenon unlike any other, in the sense that scientist who study it are studying it from the inside. Science is something that happens 100% within human consciousness. This is why I suspect that it is a phenomenon that is beyond the reach of science. It could even be impossible to explain. There is no reason to assume that we can solve all mysteries.

That's the basis of the model - "I do what I want, and you also do what I want."

Obviously, it fails as a universal. Freedom that operates on the basis of economic, political, or physical coercion of others isn't freedom at all.

Which would be fine in a more mature system, because the basic question in any political organisation is where to place the trade-off between individual freedom and personal responsibility to others.

The US model is all for individual freedom, but has real issues with the concept of personal responsibility to others - which it fails to solve by pretending the problem has never existed, and is irrelevant.
Do I need that specs if I just want to run the model and skip training?
Genuinely curious: given that you grew up in abject poverty, how did you end up with a great education? That to me is the crux of this whole issue at hand. Kids who grow up in real abject poverty have negligent parents, go to bad schools early on, get pulled out of school, etc., setting them up for failure beyond their reasonable ability as adults.
As an ABC who currently lives in HK but has no ties to Asia (born and raised in the US) and has no personal interest in what's happening in HK, what I observe is a global increase in pace of change affecting this generation across the entire world, with drastically different results per region / body of people based on their current economic, cultural, and political positions.

I think earthquakes are a good illustration of what's happening. Energy that builds up, friction developed between tectonic plates that gets released, either violently or smoothly, with varying levels of impact depending on the geological conditions surrounding it.

In the US, I mostly agree with the high level view that Andrew Yang ascribes (which is actually just the technocrat doom and gloom point of view) - economic changes that created waves of discontent, with an unconscious realization that problems have become too big for individuals alone to deal with, demanding escalation to the government level to solve, bringing in a feeling that we need something radically different (Trump) to handle the observed radical differences that the 21st century world is bringing in.

In Asia, the socio-economic changes that are happening are the same as the US, except instead of having the strongest economy in the world with a wealth of resources, education, a progressive history and lots of national-level experience in dealing with shocking changes, you have... exactly what you see in HK. Asian culture, stemming from confucian values, encourage and promote people to power who like to keep things the same way and discourage adaptation (harmony in society is defined as minimizing conflict which usually means not rocking the boat).

While the US (at least compared to other countries) has a system in place that can handle mistakes, has a rich history of how to handle change and how to properly push for progressive value shifts, the whole of Asia lacks all of that experience as a culture. What you have is a bunch of the older generation who are used to the old way of doing things, and see the world more similar to the godfather era rather than modern society. The rest of society has a value to not rock the boat and to care for outward harmony over bring up legitimate issues. This yields an environment where people are just not "trained for change". The actions that the current Asian political powers are taking look primitive to anyone who has lived in modern society and has observed how progressive shifts actually take place (and many have taken place over the last 5-10 years).

It will be very interesting to see how Asia adapts because modern society isn't going anywhere, it's actually speeding up and clashing more and more with how the older generation wants things to be.
But should it really have been that hard for you? Massive creds for managing to pull yourself out, but it seems unfair and petty to wish upon others the same hardship you've had.
The only cumbersome part is when you need to interop with C#. The .net event syntax is ridiculous for example.
That seems unrelated to the language of the library though.
But the .Net framework is mostly implemented C# / classes, so your F# code will always need to reference those objects from the stack which may be null etc. This is why I think MS is still building C# becuase a rewrite of .NET to pure f# is not worth it. My 2c.
It's as if the Wall Street Journal has conveniently ignored how markets work and the legal system governing them so that it could target Amazon for something that no other reseller has responsibility for.
I'm thinking along the lines of Feynman's "What I cannot create, I do not understand." If we can build machines with dreams, feelings and the like similar to human ones I imagine we'll have a better understanding of how the thing works. Bit like the difference between philosophers of old pondering how birds fly and how to define the word flying vs aircraft designers who build working aircraft and have degrees in aeronautical engineering.
