Gotcha. The argument here is that it may be that there is no classified material in the memoirs, but it doesn't matter. The publication review process can be used as an effective censorship measure in any case.

There's a thought experiment in that thread about whether or not pulling proceeds and profit is standard operating proceedure or really arbitrarity and politically applied. Do you happen to know if there are examples of this pattern and process being applied in non-politically motivated situations?
Yes, we can't falsify that a Turing machine has conscious experience, but we have no reason or explanation to suggest that it does have one.

To come back to the original claim:

> Simple: Find something that the brain does that could not, in principle, be emulated by a Turing machine or equivalent. So far we don't know of any such thing

We may not "know" of such a thing with certainty, but we have a strong candidate in consciousness.

There are two possibilities here:

One is that Turing machines are conscious (and we're monsters for what we do with them), in which case we still have an unexplained panpsychic phenomenon which we would need new science to understand.

The other is that Turing machines are not conscious, in which case there's an unexplained phenomenon in how an object like the brain can give rise to consciousness. In that case, the question of whether a Turing machine could in principle emulate consciousness depends on what the cause of consciousness is. It's certainly possible, and doesn't even seem particularly unlikely, that we find that Turing machines cannot do this, and that something other than "computation" is needed.
I don't see what's hard about the typical "unfortunately, we cannot hire everyone who expresses interest in this position..." boilerplate?
According to your link, there is a connection:

"he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into a discredited conspiracy theory that it was Ukraine and not Russia that interfered in the 2016 presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee."

And the document further continues the narrative that Trump is having outside powers interfere with the US election,

"These actions were consistent with President Trump’s previous invitations of foreign interference in United States elections."

So, it is definitely related to the overall narrative of Trump colluding with foreign powers to have them interfere.

Also weird, dems been pushing to impeach Trump for quite awhile, but this is a recent event. It looks like the Dems have been on an impeachment hunt in search of a reason. Which also makes this allegation weird. Searching for reasons to impeach also sounds contrary to law and order, which is the reason given for impeaching Trump in this document.
No, it wouldn't. The commenter's actions make no difference at all on a global scale. Zero.

That's the point: understanding that individual virtue does absolutely, totally, precisely nothing. Only collective actions count. At all.

Understanding orders of magnitude is not something that comes easily to humans but it must be understood to work on large problems.
Good question!

That "confirmation" link in no way confirms that this leak was related in any way to fracking or dumping.

I've used 4.3BSD on a VAX 11/780 - and its remarkable to me how similar the experience is, even vi startup times are close. It's weird. I guess some things only go so fast. Similarly, my OS X 10.4 (or 10.5 desktop) laptop boots only marginally slower than my OS X 10.14 laptop.
The fact that larger companies that use JIRA have to employ full time "JIRA Administrators", or worse, teams of JIRA admins, suggests that the tool is anything but lightweight.
No problem. :) I just don't want potential contributors to write off Ruma as something worth looking at, especially since with this announcement it ought to be be more relevant than ever. And having multiple independent implementations of a federated protocol is very important to proving out the specification (the Ruma author has already filed several bugs against the spec as a result of implementing it).
A few years ago I went about trying to get my laptop to boot as fast as possible. Got it down to 9 seconds from POST completion to X with Chromium running.

The only differences between the system I used for benchmarking and my regular desktop was autologin, chromium in the startup script, and the enablement of the benchmarking thing. I'll probably poke around with it tonight and see if it's any different on my new laptop. This one had a proper NVMe as opposed to the m.2 SSD in my old laptop.

My Windows desktop at work takes forever to get running. Even after you log in and the desktop is visible it's another minute until it's usable.

It helps to NOT think of a branch as a commit node, nor a chain of commits ending in that node.

A branch is a separate concept, it's not even stored in the history DB but in a different dir. See it as a label attached to a commit, since a commit can have several branches attached to it, or none. A branch will be moved across the history, while a commit will keep his place in the history.

A branch is designed to be easily created, deleted, and moved around, freely, from anywhere to anywhere.

A commit is designed to feel immutable, and unmovable, and although this is not strictly true, this is how you will mostly use it.

A chain of commits is like a rail track, it goes in one direction, each commit composing it never changing (again, conceptually), and never moving. You stack commits, you grow the track, piece by piece.

The branch is more like a flag you put somewhere on the rail track (most often at the end), to let the workers know where to put the next piece.

Picturing it that way let you best use its properties:

- branches cost nothing. They are very lightweight, unlike in SVN, you should create as many as you want.

- moving to a branch is cheap. Apart from moving the files to the working copy, it's just a matter of changing point of view on the history. Switch to branches often, it's fast.

- you can put a branch anywhere you want. You like an old commit and wanna try something new from it? Plant your flag here and start working.

- deleted a branch by mistake ? No worry, it's just a label. You can recreate it in a blink.

- this branch is so good it should be master? Sure you can. Just swap the labels. But let everyone knows :)

Etc.
Respectfully disagree. Again, I'm not suggesting SD will solve all problems. Big data is critical and will remain so. However, using a combination of SD and real data will make AI algorithms more robust than using big data alone. I do agree that the world is messy and it's hard to recreate the chaos and weirdness of the world. However, to think that at some point we won't be able to completely mimic the real world and all the variations out there is strange. Re: your example, its actually pretty easy to span millions of humans based on ethnicity, age, body mass, etc. It's just a matter of time until this problem gets solved.

The only question I'd ask is : how many phones should they sell to break even ? Cos if they actually make some profit, that's just fine. Maybe they don't aim to go to mass market. And that's why MSFT may have failed : they tried to fight on Google's ground, head to head. Of course Pine can't do that. So if they just repeat what's been done for Raspberry, that's just great enough to have a living ecosystem.

I personaly just need SMS, voice and a browser. The rest, I can live without it (or program it :-)
All of my machines are the same. From the time I plug in the power cable and hit the go button I can expect to see my desktop in around 10 seconds. It's fast enough that when I'm in discord with coworkers and need to switch OS it doesn't really affect the workflow at all.
I'm confused, does that mean the VMs can't reach the internet?
That is what every CI service in the world is. Docker doesn't intrinsically give you any privileges a shell script doesn't, but there is flexibility to really lock things down (like with gVisor). Of course, a lot of people run the Docker daemon in such a way as to give containers root access, which isn't ideal in a shared environment. There is no mandate to do such a thing, however.

I built an old-style Docker container (i.e., one that runs code like "apt-get install foo") on Github Actions successfully, so I assume Docker works fine. I haven't tried getting root on a build worker, but I imagine they mitigate that in some way. (Perhaps by having a pool of VMs and blowing it up after your build is done.)

I think what the OP is talking about is CI systems whose pipelines are declared by a series of "run this command in this container" instructions. Github Actions doesn't work that way, but you can still run containers.

You might want to check out jmp.chat ... it does SMS via XMPP and can place phone calls via SIP all on a fully free-software stack that you could modify and use independently if desired.
It's kind of ugly, but I spend a bit of time using some node scripts to orchestrate a scheduled "nightly" build of an application package that does some relatively funky stuff. See the .github/workflows and scripts/ areas... again, it's hacky. Was trying to do something that wasn't very well documented by example strictly speaking.

You can probably use another scripting language to use the github interface.

If you want Semantic web all you need to do is add rel=Data to the link tag. The browser would use that to fetch the json data for the page just as it uses link to fetch styling.

Now that I've solved this for you, anything else?
I like your "asymmetric" description. That's a good explanation.

I did one, once. I liked it initially; if my skill set isn't quite up to par, I can spend 10 hours on something they expect to only take me 5, and so I have a better opportunity to impress if I'm really interested.

On the other hand, I tend to get along very well with people, so I "interview well", and I like the on-site thing because it's time-boxed. I either get the job, or I fail, but at least it's over, and doesn't drag on indefinitely.
There are some terrible middleware implementations out there. I remember hearing about some early attempts from DirecTV at building a DVR. They were encoding everything in xml and sending it through IPC spaghetti. IME, the level of talent in the consumer electronics space is much less than, say, a big N company. You have a lot of EE turned sw guy types, or java-trained CS grads who don't understand performance. Now that the industry is slowly dying, it's losing even more talent.
But most Git UIs only show the first line of the commit message when displaying the log, so if you're searching for something specific, you're only going to see that without clicking into a commit. I want that first line to tell me whether this commit is relevant to whatever I'm looking for, and it's extremely difficult to do that in 50 characters.
Good points!

Most data is def crap lol.

I don't see few shot, one-shot or no-shot getting anywhere close to standard supervised learning for anything practical. It really doesn't make sense in production settings at all.

You have a function that you want to learn, let's say mapping between an RGB image to a segmentation map. For most applications you're never really in a situation where a production product is dealing with visual scenes/objects it has never seen before. In a factory, in smart stores, in cars, AR scenarios like I just don't see it happening. And then if this case is removed, I'm thinking, ok so when can I get good enough results from a tiny dataset? Machine Learning isn't magic, you're trying to learn a function with 100 million parameters using a dataset, I just don't see the math working out. More data provides better results, it inserts more information to create a more relevant mapping function from input to output.

Third point is great! As long as the models are somehow based on real-world scans I think a lot of good can come from this. The funny thing is, there is so much bias in networks trained today precisely because the data captured is usually small and captured from a specific area/population/setting. If you had a great synthetic data generation engine you could at least generate equal representation of gender, age groups, ethnicities, ... etc.

Overall great points!
You get a virtual machine, so you can build and run untrusted software. If you have very specific old software (for example, something that runs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), then you can install LXD inside a Multipass VM, and from LXD create a system container with Ubuntu 12.04.

While Multipass supports LTS versions of Ubuntu and recent development versions of Ubuntu, with LXD you get container images for many more versions and other distributions. See the list at https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/

> "Moved A to B" is not necessarily bad

There is always a reason why things are 1) done and 2) done in this specific way and not another. It is also relevant if this is part of a larger change and it there are external dependencies on this commit. These things must be clear from the commit message.

> you're just doing janitor work

That makes it sound like janitorial work does not require complete commit messages which is why we sometimes see useless messages. There is always a reason why something was done and this can be documented.

A bug can be documented why it happened, why it was fixed in this specific way and not some other more obvious way, and what steps has been taken not avoid it from resurfacing. The same way a clean up can describe why others paths were not taken, why the new way is considered more clean (fewer lines, lesser complexity?) and how we know it does not entail functional changes.

The git tool is rooted in email, and commit messages look a lot like it. Pretend you are describing your patch over email to someone and it will be almost trivial to write.

Semantic web tech solves a common problem. You have a database where you want to have some shared schema among many groups, and you want a way to infer facts based on first order logic. You want to be able to query multiple sources and reason about facts when taking into account multiple sources.

Whether you use semantic web tech or not that's still a common problem that doesn't always have a good plug and play solution. There's still a lot of places using jsonld format for metadata and cataloging information. You can google cooking recipes and get ratings, cook time; search for movies and see how high rated the movie is and who made it with a synopsis of the plot, all of these are product metadata powered by rdfs or jsonld metadata, a relic of the semantic web. It would be incorrect to say semantic web is dead. Any AI that can effectively use wikidata as a fact table would be jeopardy grade. There's still new tools coming out like RDFox that apply first order logic at multicore speed across huge datasets for reasoning. There is work being done to make it horizontally scalable. I think people will just go on an endless loop of getting the same pain points and creating new tools using the trending tech of the day, but even in this day and age, sometimes something like prolog or picat is what you need.
Just curious, but how long have you had that car? I have an '01 Passat that has the same design where the lights come on when the engine starts.

So you expect the person setting the policy to feel free to break it at will? That would be a terrible example, even if the head of HR set it unilaterally, which, as someone else mentioned, is unlikely.

For people who are looking for a similar setup, jmp.chat is an alternative service built on free software and a voip provider like twilio. They forward SMS over XMPP and you can make calls with any old SIP client. Its literally a bunch of ruby scripts, a very charming project. I jumped ship from twilio after they made payments without a credit card impossible for small-timers like myself.

Each individual Rust team (which govern individual aspects of Rust) got to choose where to jump to; I believe one did choose to use Matrix, but the others mostly chose Discord (because there was already a very large Rust user community there), a few chose Zulip, and one is still on IRC. If Matrix clients were more well-developed and widely-used, I believe there would be good incentive for them to transition--the Rust developers already have enough on their plate without feeling like they need to also develop their own communication protocol.
