>> Edit: My comment is basically asking what saying "the mind is a Turing machine" really means.

The article clarifies that "the mind is a Turing machine" is not what the Classic Computational Theory of Mind claims. See section 3 "The classical computational theory of mind":

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computational-mind/#ClaCo...

To summarise, the article suggests that, while: "It is common to describe CCTM as embodying “the computer metaphor”. This description is doubly misleading." (first because nobody claims that the mind is a computer and second because the comparison to Turing machines is not a metaphor).

The article concludes that: "CCTM claims that mental activity is “Turing-style computation” [snipped for relevance]".

In short, nobody really claims that the mind is a computer, a digital computer, a Turing machine, a metaphorical Turing machine, etc etc. The idea, if I'm not misrepresenting it myself, is that the mind can think like Turing machines can compute.

I have had one defective switch on AMX. But nothing like that on 2 AMX 2S that I bought more than a year ago (one for office, one for home). I think they improved something with AMX S2 switches.
I think angular with zones will slowly start to fade away as the community moves more towards onPush components, with components hooks to trigger change detection. There is an ngrx proposal for a component that would handle this all nicely, but it's still only a proposal.
I wonder how much of this is korean culture and how much of it is samsung. A friend of mine interned at waymo and took a full time offer. I had lunch with her, and I said another friend of mine at Waymo is getting bored, and she hushed me and said I shouldn't say that because it's bad to talk about your employer this way. Keep in mind my friend is still finishing school, and we were 1000s of miles away from Waymo office. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

Shopify made a change to their API that was easily measurable on who it would affect, but didn't email us. Refused to grant us a temporary exemption (they would do it for $2000/m they said). The end result? They've sunk my business. I've replaced shopify now by writing my own but it's too late. My customers have all gone to my competitors and we're looking at pivoting.

It certainly should be. You can make it much more precise with the tracking mechanisms that browsers like Firefox are blocking now (tracking pixels, 3rd party cookies). It's the difference between having a snapshot in time available to a specific site vs. a whole history across the internet.

Facebook can't show you customized ads if all it can recognize is that it's you. It already knows who you are, you told it by logging in, now it needs to know everything you're doing everywhere else so it can connect all those dots to you. This can't work if all it can say is "this is definitely voidmain0001 from their home computer but I know nothing else about them". The only way is to share that tracking between companies which is more difficult and still more limited in scope than 3rd party cookies.

I know you are voidmain0001 here and can read all your comments. But if I have no idea who you are on amazon.com so I can sell you your favorite tech in my ads then the usefulness of this information is limited.

Just as a rule of thumb, if those mechanisms weren't adding to the precision then nobody would have invested so much in constantly developing them.

P.S. The site above keeps failing half way for me. "Computer says no" type of thing.
> Personally, I don't think I've ever used Wikipedia to learn about an OSS project.

I think I might be part of the silent majority that actually does -- I often use Wikipedia to learn about the origin story of an OSS project. (not random tiny OSS projects, but more established ones)

Project websites don't tell you stuff like the original author, key people, context, adjacent categories of software, the history, the original problem that it was trying to solve, the drama (fights, competitors, disagreements between folks involved), and evolution of the project over time. The Wikipedia article often does.

This type of intelligence is invaluable when evaluating projects/products. If you're not wiki'ing your OSS project, you'd have to google and wade through mailing lists and piece together the story from blogposts, tweets, etc.

Here are some examples:

Human exceptionalism seems to have a lot of cognitive inertia behind it, regardless of how educated we are. What do you do when first contact is made? There are a lot of mental hurdles to overcome trying to answer this question.

>a lot of what we consider to be unstructured interfaces are actually structured

But only IF you know the structure otherwise it's effectively unstructured. The issue with structured interfaces is that the barrier to entry is high and the discoverability of how to do things is low. That works if you are able to force people to use it but fails when you depend on people organically wanting to join.

We really like PR in this field. We call making a copy of a file "piracy", as in piracy on the high seas. We call adding a password to an Excel spreadsheet a "bomb", as in a device designed for leveling entire cities and brutally murdering everyone nearby. We call adding restrictions to books and films "digital rights", kind of like the "bill of rights" that protects our country's core values.

The prosecutors and industries that coined these terms are very clever. For the petty crimes that they describe, they can turn the outrage up to eleven by comparing the most minor transgression to murder. In the case of DRM, the industry managed to convince people to buy new TVs, monitors, video cards, and cables... to protect their rights? Their right to be turned upside down and have the coins and bills shaken out of their pants, I guess.
I would love to read more about this case study on how an API change by a business service sinks a business.
> Shopify made a change to their API that was easily measurable on who it would affect

What was the change?
For most published libraries every old version is always available and upgrading is never mandatory. For SaaS APIs the constraints of the business means that very few businesses (Stripe being the notable exception) want to support more than a handful of versions at a time, which results in versions regularly reaching end-of-life and completely disappearing. In this world, upgrading to newer APIs is mandatory and fairly frequent.

The result is that API version handles need to prioritize different information. Libraries need a format that makes it easy to ballpark the size of changes between arbitrary not-strictly-sequential versions. SaaS APIs need a form that makes it easy to infer support windows and end-of-life status.
Makes sense. The software needs to access that code for the spreadsheet to work, so if it was encrypted for example, then the spreadsheet would be unusable unless you know the password
It has to be complicated so they can justify the expense. If it were as simple as it needed to be, even execs would wonder where the money is being spent; and they don't even use the app!
Looks like you've just ripped off snapshooter.io tbh.
Not unsurprising, though obvious caveat about correlation and causation. I wouldn't be surprised if pollution is correlated with other things like low quality of life, poverty, etc. All of these probably interact to create an environment that leads to poor mental health.

It doesn't really matters where he came from. We spend too much time thinking about who/where/when instead why/how. Perhaps a flare of royalty adds weight to the narrative.

It's used in other languages too, but how easy it is to apply to another JS engine depends on its implementation.

This seems like a plan to benefit already existing oligarchs by propagandizing workers to move to cheaper places so the workers can accept less pay. Nothing here about the "intellectual property" aspects that probably are the key underlying reason for Silicon Valley's ultimate triumph. Shouldn't this advocate for state laws that prohibit no-compete contracts, and like California, do away with those weird "your home projects belong to us" laws? Also, what about health care? I've been contracting for about 3 years in Denver, and it varies immensely, from a strange combination of unaffordable and shitty, to decent. The "decent" package was from a California body shop - I can only conclude that CA standards are being applied uniformly to that job shop's employees because it's too much work to do otherwise, and that I benefitted from CA laws in CO. I would hazard a guess that midwest states like Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma that didn't expand Medicare don't require the better plans.
Turing machines don't have to be deterministic. You can have non deterministic Turing machines, and probabilistic Turing machines.

Or rather,

There's actually established notation in music theory for this[0]. Because it IS a super convenient way to look at notes. Doing otherwise would be akin to using Roman numerals for calculus.

From personal experience, I worked with this notation a little bit. I spent a lot more time getting the hang of traditional notation. Not only is integer notation intuitive immediately, but number combinations like {0,4,7,12} become memorable very quickly and yes when I look at it (even if I saw it outside of musical context!), I would know it's a major chord.

That is, personally, I learned about the traditional notations (because you can't learn music theory and avoid those, or miss out on most of the material :) ). But that took me deliberate effort. On the other hand I wrote some python classes for converting between notes and chords and traditional notation and integer notation, seeing the patterns in those numbers required no effort at all, it's right there. The traditional notation has of course the same patterns, but they are obscured by layers of translation.

I think integer notation could be used a lot more, especially when teaching music theory. But traditional notation is also useful, partly because many people know it, partly because integer notation is less suitable for certain instruments.

The government already funds education in inner cities. It has nothing to do with education funding. It has to do with personal priorities. What social programs do you propose?

Also has nothing to do with race. There are different cultural issues that afflict every community across America and the world.
Luck. You need both the opportunity, and the know-how to be successful. The next Einstein won't do anything if his family can't afford an education.
I probably wouldn't go around discrediting a large group of extremely knowledgeable devs with extensive experience. My opinion is generally, if I see something a ton of people have spent countless hours building and I think it's stupid, I should atleast think about why.

Angular uses parens to bind to existing element classes, so if you use an html element, and it has a src field, you want to pass a string just do the normal src="string" you want to pass something from javascript [src]="variable". Boom, you just learned the biggest part of angular template syntax, congrats. This allows for using any existing element, or newly developed elements, web components, without worry about clashing, (jsx class...).

I do agree they went a little to heavy with OOP thinking, it's a weird balance between the functional reactive pushed by rxjs, and a more classic OOP line of thinking. I believe Angular will move more towards a functional way of developing as the team is coming off of the rendering refactor, ivy, and the community is working on the functional reactive component.

Okay, I guess it's fair to say society is not willing to pay for more artists and visionaries. If we all spent $200 of our income a month buying music and art from local artists (and I don't mean buying beer at a club, I mean actually giving them that money), and it had the same priority as paying for gas or mortgage payments, there would be millions of new artist jobs. But people generally aren't doing that.

People are willing to pay for gas. They're willing to pay people to drill the wells and design and build the refineries. They're paying people to lay the pipe. They're paying business people to say, "Keeping track of all that data is hard and expensive, let's build a web app to manage that, lower our costs and become the best oil and gas company on the market."

So CRUD apps get built. Some of them are useless. Some save companies millions and millions of dollars. But on average I'm willing to assume businesses come out ahead with this whole "in house software" trend. Because I've personally built smaller pieces of CRUD software in house that has saved Nicole and Monica in accounting from weeks of dull spreadsheet work.

Of course, responsibility for actual products gets lost when you go through eight layers of management. Lots of people are pretending to work because it's enough to fool the VP who might come strolling by. But on average it must be working to some extent because I can buy gas and my car runs.

I'm not defending it, but just to educate you: "easily free" is as far from the truth as it could be. The reality is:

Spend hours picking photos and putting together a profile. Now for each person you have sex with, imagine you spent another 5 hours swiping, yet another 5 hours getting maybe 20 conversations going, which turn into 5 actual first dates (budget 5 hours each for prep, transportation, cancelling and rescheduling, etc.), assume 3 of them have zero chemistry, the other 2 are cool but the chances that someone will sleep with you on a first date is very rare, you go on a second date with them both but again no sex this time just for practical reasons (it's a weeknight, they work early, it takes an hour to get home), it fizzles out with one (no third date), the second one has a vacation planned, but three weeks later you finally have a third date and sleep together.

Mission accomplished. Probably a total investment of 40-60 hours across 2 months. And this assumes you even live in an urban area in the first place where there are 10,000's of people your age to swipe through. You still call that "easily free"?

Contrary to what you might think, dating apps are not full of girls looking for a quick first-date hookup. Sure, they're out there, but it's extremely rare that you'll a) find one at all, b) that she wants to hook up with you, c) that you actually meet and it actually happens. Just the reality of things.

By the way, this is also why the narrative of dating apps killing relationships is false. By the time you've put in 60 hours finding someone you're compatible with, you hope to god you can keep going out with them, instead of going back to square one and doing it all over again. Dating apps are work.
Secret courts are a thing. Supposedly, they’re just used for NSLs though.
I spend a lot of time in an IDE at work. I spend a lot of time in vi at work and at home. I have the keyboard shortcuts for those apps, and a few more apps I use all the time, down. But I think if I had to memorize the keyboard shortcuts for every single app I use, I'd have a fit. Sometimes it is just better to use a mouse. Sometimes it's just nice to sit back and click around (web browser).
> Does GDP matter if a large segment of the population is miserable? Samsung's ability to compete internationally is important but I'd rank that as a second to the health and happiness of it's populace.

GDP is what enables society to provide health and happiness to its populace. The problem with Bangladesh, for example, is not income distribution. It's top-line GDP. In Korea, according to the OECD, average household disposable income is $21,000 per year, versus $45,000 per year for the United States: http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/united-states. Korea isn't so rich that more even distribution of income without top line GDP growth would be a panacea. (And it's also worth pointing out that measures to distribute income more evenly will generally reduce GDP.)

- It's the least common dominator to chat with anyone with a Phone (if you have a smartphone, you can go MMS group chat).

- I am not giving another company personal data (Facebook, Google, etc.)

Ideally, I would prefer to run my own server for a chat program (i.e. Matrix, Nextcloud Chat), then I know where the traffic is coming to and from, and I have a lot of confidence that personal data isn't being leaked.

My second option would probably be Signal, as they seem to do to great lengths to avoid collecting data on you. However, trying to convince family/friends to use either is an uphill battle (a great deal of my family goes "why don't you just get an iPhone?"). So the pragmatist in me just uses MMS for group chat.
Totally agreed. I'm naive to much around Ag/Husbandry. If that's what farmers do, that is a concern. From a microbiology point of view, the concept that "washing out" the drug before slaughter improves anything is flawed.
