In the past Chrome has played fast and loose with standards and features, which was fine for them since Firefox and friends needed to adopt them lest they widen the "Only works on Chrom(e/ium)" gap.

I wonder how removing a feature might go, however. The answer is "probably well because Chrome has overwhelming market share", but I do wonder if, between AMP and "no URLs" and no 3rd party cookies, if there's room for a small but growing "it just works how I'd expect it to on Firefox" contingent to spring up...

Naomi Klein on Milton Friedman: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/ma...

Friedman and the "Chicago Boys" advised Augusto Pinochet in Chile and used his dicatorial powers to ram through changes into the Chilean economy. I don't think Friedman is someone to admire.
By illusion I just mean there isn't really a physical pain (sub atomic elements don't feel pain) but our brains still act as if we experience pain from the perspective of a self. From this perspective the self is a real thing, you are a conscious human, not a collection of atoms - you matter more than your matter.

Let me try this another way... Imagine an identical universe with one difference - no one is conscious. If I decide to kill in this hypothetical universe is it wrong? And even if you say yes, is it equally as wrong as in a universe with conscious beings? This is the explanation for consciousness and why the illusion is important.

We think we're aware of our senses and in control of our actions, but we know we're not. We know what we consciously obverse is different from the input we get from our sensory organs - which is the reason things like optical illusions exist. We also know that we subconsciously make our decisions a fraction of second before we're consciously aware of them. In my opinion this all points towards consciousness being an illusion, rather than an actual awareness of self.

I don't see much wrong, or how this would be cheating. They produced a winning entry, it should be on the organizer to ensure that their test data set isn't trivially findable. It would be like testing a digit recognizer on the MNIST data set and being surprised when someone just hashes it. A real solution isn't to force opensourcing it is to get better metrics. Maybe add a random component like a GAN to generate potential test data, and see if anything classifies that correctly. In the real world when the metric becomes the target it ceases to be a good metric. So test what you want to test and not just some existing data set.

Edit: I didn't see that the test data was given. See the first reply to this comment.
That’s because you’re forgetting older technologies. DB9, DB25, and VGA were all trapezoidal.
This depends on the machine! But for a given machine, the logo should be oriented the same way for all cables, at least.
After like 2-3 months, every micro I've ever had has required me to stretch the cable in some way (i.e., place the phone on top of the cable) in order for it to make contact. Never had this problem with USB C.
The problem is time and experience, two things you cannot give to a software mind. Humans are inherently social and our brains are developed over socializing time. Our brains are shaped by fetal, post-natal, and childhood socialization and experience. The craziest edge cases of human childhood show: if you grow up without socialization, in isolation/solitude, your brain will be vastly underdeveloped and you will have very serious personality deformation.

So no, I don't think it's possible to create a simulated brain that behaves similarly as a human, as the biological medium is in a constant state of dissolution, repair, evolution, and adaptation. This is how we learn, get stressed, get tired, get certain emotions...it's a whole new layer of programming you'd need to perfect beyond just replicating a brain at one moment in time.

A brain in silico would be apples:oranges different than a biological brain.

People greatly underestimate how rapidly expertise can become ramshackle as one moves away from the small areas where that expertise is actively exercised and tested. Few would ask a "Doctor" of medieval literature for cancer treatment. But people are surprised by first-tier business school students having middle-school misconceptions about Earth's seasons. Or by first-tier astronomy graduate students pervasively getting wrong a five-year old's "what color is the Sun ball?" (with half-ish of the few exceptions having learned it studying astronomy education, common misconceptions in, rather than from their own, atypically extensive and successful). Or by many first-tier medical school graduate students having no idea how big cells are.

Similarly, many people underestimate how badly science education is working. But that's a longer story. But has a speculative corollary, that most everyone is underestimating how awesome science education could be. It's sort of the inverse of the swiss-cheese model of reliable system failure. Holes of success are so unlikely to line up, that the light of understanding currently never makes it very far into the cheese.
In industrial automation there are mainly 2 standard protocols, which can obtain easily: DeviceNet and CANopen.

Your choice of excerpts is very teasing, but I haven't had a chance to read any of the in depth content. Would you consider one of the sub-sections? That said, I suppose they did work for me... So maybe you know what you're doing!
Any feedback is appreciated on this and what went wrong. I'd like to know how they can do better.
"nothing but causal relationships" is indeed all you'd need, provided they go the materialist way, i.e. that consciousness comes from specific arrangements of neurons. I don't think that makes sense, as nobody can give the slightest hint of a theory that would make that work. The reverse theory, that consciousness is primary, makes more sense to me. In that theory, the causality works the other way, and digital replicas will not have consciousness, they will be a mirror of what consciousness looks like when seen through our senses.
You can easily work part time even with a full course load, and ramp up to full time or more during summers. It’s what I did.
Considering their service offering I understand it, but they don't have pricing I'd consider hobbyist-friendly. So building a skunkswork project out of your pocket is prohibitively expensive. Having said that it's one of the few places that gives you enough control over your device and network to let you stand up origami infrastructure where you build a system that builds some systems that have a kubernetes cluster that hosts your app.

This is very backwards. In science, the evidence for a claim is precisely how hard you tried to disprove it. This doesn't mean that you're wrong, of course, but it's a massive problem.

I was born in 1980, and do remember our family having a credit account at the local grocery store. This was in Helsinki, Finland.

I think our account number was 14? Simple enough for a child to remember.

Around age 9 I was using the account on my own to buy food after school. I'd state the account number, and the cashier would write the credit down with a pen into a special notepad they kept under the cash register.

> you start with a baby brain and let it grow up

You can grow biological brain structures from stem cell. It's called Brain Organoids and Neural Organoids, that may one day be used in machines and may one day have consciousness properties. Interview about this with Lex Fridman (MIT Artificial Intelligence teacher) and Paola Arlotta (Harvard brain neuroscientist): https://lexfridman.com/paola-arlotta/

> We don’t think of a few cells as having consciousness, but somehow the broader collection does.

This is called "emergent property" (see "Emergence" in Wikipedia), that is a sub-area of Complex Systems theory. There's a theory that states it may be possible that consciousness may appear as an emergent property from a high complex, dynamical and evolutionary AI system.

> imagine an incredibly-detailed computer simulation

Some paradigms to approach AGI (Artificial General Intelligence / Superintelligence) are: 1. Simulate the brain in low level details; 2. Simulate the functioning of higher level structures of the brain (cortical columns, visual cortex, hippocampus...); 3. Create artificial neurons (that can be used to neural networks, deep learning, etc.); 4. Simulating simple brains and nervous systems (e.g jellyfish, insects, C.elegans connectome project, etc) to understand how intelligence works; 5. Simulating the behavior of the brain ("cognitive architectures"); 6. Creating en evolutionary system that could converge to brain-like funcionality.

You weren't going to marry her, and you wanted her to abandon her career goals to follow you? Why would someone hurt their career to stay with someone who won't commit to them? You want a servant not a partner, and most people aren't looking to downgrade themselves to servant

You don't have an experience. You might think you do, but I see no scientific reason to believe you.

What you might have is an algorithm in your brain telling you that there is a self experiencing the world. But in reality you're just a collection of sub atomic particles.

Edit: Why should I take your claim of conscious experience any more seriously than my computer's who's screen is currently reading: "I AM CONSCIOUS" from a notepad?

Is the only difference that I told the computer to say it, where as you are told by your genetics to say and think it?

> Analytics in general does nothing to help the users of your site

I find this really interesting, and am amazed that more sites and services don't surface some of their analytics data to users. Look at the success of yearly "wrap up" campaigns (disclosure: I work for a company with one of the most famous versions of that mechanic, but don't work on it).

You'll get users opting into some data and tracking if there's some tangible benefit to them on the other end. It seems like people love learning about their usage of products, and there's a lot of data that people would be happy to share if they got some benefit too.

For example, I know Google tracks when I click a link in a SERP - but now that they surface the "you've visited this X times, last time on Y", I'd happily opt into that data collection because of the pseudo-utility/interest factor of it.
So don't take a loan for room and board? This is obviously from the perspective of someone who is actively working and presumably not homeless.
This essay is a bit weird because it systematically avoids talking about the reason people (rationally, I might add) avoid hard problems: they are risky. Yes the rewards are great, but so too is the risk of failure.

I, personally, have seen people pursue this strategy, flame out, and get fired for it.

I work to provide stability for my family. I don't take risks unless I get an explicit request from management to do so, and thus someone else to take responsibility. The whole idea that employees should be dynamic and "ask for forgiveness, not permission" is truly perverse in a capitalist context: your employer wants you to take the risks, but they definitely will take the benefits if you succeed. If you fail, hey, its your fault.

Doing risky stuff is fine but I don't do it unless I've got backing from management.

Does this change allow for the server to refrain from having to do RPCs to the browser to get additional feature information to figure out what quirks the vended page / JS needs to be compatible with?

That sounds more like "Well, it's not as bad as PS2 connector at least."

People who say such things seem to think that abstraction and reduction to components inherently carry a moral valence. They don't. People think that if you think of love as a chemical reaction it must mean that you think it has no value. I think that it only shows their narrowminded arrogance in thinking that chemical reactions can have no value. One man's modus ponens is another man's modus tollens and all that.

We all take on different points of view depending on what's most useful at the time, and what patterns of thought come naturally to us. If you're a specific type of person, it's useful and natural to think of people as a system to be optimized. And if you love the people you're modeling, what you're optimizing for is their happiness and dignity. But some people can't conceive of this being the case. They see someone saying sciency words about mushy feelingy topics and pattern-match to the first supervillain they can think of. "People are just atoms, I guess that means I can blow you all up! Mwahahahaha!" Perhaps the people who wrote that supervillain never studied refraction and realized that it made rainbows more beautiful, not less. But probably they just didn't care. They needed a flimsy excuse to justify the awesome fight scenes they wanted to write. And that's all the reader was looking for too, It doesn't take much to let someone suspend their disbelief.
People don't just "ignore their responsibilities" out of malice. Generally people "ignore their responsibilities" either because they are pressured into it, or because they are lead to believe it is the right thing to do in that situation.

Either is unacceptable, of course, but the boots on the ground are rarely to blame.

> Nobody is worried that concepts like time, charge, momentum, etc. will be discovered to be a silly, unfounded idea

While not overly worried, I have to confess that I'm at least somewhat worried. And somewhat convinced that our present conceptions of theses things will one "day" be turned on their head, in a way that might also seriously affect our everyday conceptions of them.

I would support adding a couple of properties to most if not all our established models; notably 1: known unknowns, and 2: unknown unknowns. It would seem a healthy antidote to the hubris that runs rampant among scientists, at least before they discover the ubiquity of these two properties (they usually do around the 50 year mark).
Just as a thought exercise. Try to imagine a universe in which it was impossible to define conserved quantities.
