Simulating a mind is not the same as simulating mind processes.

I doubt that you can create a mind that's similar to a human mind without the relevant elements that are took for granted when we think of a human being: senses, perception, pain, pleasure, fear, volition... a body! and the real-time feedback loop that connects us to our environment and our peers.

The same could be said about animals' minds. That's why it's still impossible to make even a mosquito brain. It's a question of texture. Making a decision for a human involves a complex cloud of subsystems working in unstable equilibrium, more of a boiling cauldron than an algorithmic checklist. When you're scared, you're not just thinking that somethind is dangerous and rather avoid it, you are feeling something very uncomfortable and you want to stop it.

What if you want to advance in creating some kind of simpler mind now when you still haven't the means to build a complete organism? That's an interesting problem. Would immersing programs in a virtual world be useful? Or would it be better to make robots face the real world directly? I believe that you need, as a minimum, a system that integrates sight with hearing and touching sensors, and some kind of incentive system.

After some results, maybe using machine learning, the emergent organization could be applied as a building block to more complex robots. Meanwhile, trying to teach machines some human capabilities will not lead to generalized IA, but to more of the same we have now, that it's very useful, just not quite qualifies for the label.

Good list.

Their observations bring to mind the benefits of watching people program on YouTube or video where you learn a style of working you may not even have considered.

However there is one other issue that is not on the list: because a notebook is meant to be read or shared, I always feel like my work is public and feel less inclined to play around and just take a look at things. When I do “transfer” my work to a notebook, it’s only surprising or interesting things that suppress the discovery process.
I haven't dug into it myself, but Netflix makes something called Polynote that is supposed to add some awareness of the sequence of the cells to combat this
But why CPI-U, why not CPI-W, or the more useful C-CPI-U. How do seasonal adjustments change the picture? What investments are those 25-34 year olds making in 401k, mortgage, stocks/bonds so that when they're in the 35+ bracket, and how might those compare? What does class mobility look like for the bottom 25%? How happy are the respective cohorts? How many hours/wk are those people working to get that purchasing power?

The huffpo anecdata-based story is "just so", but comparing a single quarter, for a single age-group, based on a single metric known to have short comings, and presenting it without context as "the reality", tickles my "just so" meter, from the other side of the spectrum.

I was recently reading an essay (can't find it this second) about how some religious ceremonies actually introduced helpful randomness.

For example, if you hunt to the east and find good game, you'd keep hunting to the east. Eventually you'd kill everything over there or get them to move, and your hunting would get worse. The optimal approach might be to randomize the direction you hunt, so that game doesn't learn where you're hunting.

The society couldn't say WHY the ceremony was good, but long term if they kept applying the ceremony they'd have better outcomes than societies that didn't.

Sometimes superstition is just that ... but I'd also bet there are unintuitive/surprising benefits behind a lot of it.
I don't see any of those videos actually demonstrating Spot Mini walking successfully. Some comments suggest that the motors are not strong enough, or the body is too heavy.
It's not implausible, it's been in the mainstream news a lot the past year.
So I’m on the fence I like the social aspects of open offices but I find them highly disruptive to work.

But one observation I have made is that open offices force me to bring work home. I can sometimes accomplish more coding in one night at home than in 1 week in an open office. One time I kept a log of every 6 mins at work and found that <40% of the time was actually spent coding in an open office vs 95% working at home and communicating over slack (I don‘t think I need to tell anyone here one 8 hour coding session is not equivalent to eight 1 hour sessions).

I think do not disturb private desks with open office hot desks or an open office with telecommuting is ideal.
What Prevayler got you was the ACID guarantees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID

So if you didn't need persistence, you certainly didn't need it. Ditto if data integrity wasn't important.

It would also have made distribution much easier. Since each mutation was already serialized to disk before execution, you could also send it over the wire to read-only replicas and hot spares for the master.
It’s less than half a billion dollars investment to maximize the output from in excess of $15 Billion worth of human capital.
Give it a few years, very soon software development may just as well become a blue collar trade with teams of line cooks supporting one chef.
I think the latest research indicates that glial cells are about as numerous as neurons (the article says something to this effect as well), so the joke would update to "we only use half of our brains".
I'd buy it -but only for short-term use to sneakernet shit I already had backed up reliably somewhere else.

of course, where we run into problems is that btrfs is meant to be the reliable backup. Oops.
Maybe it's because more people HAVE to be health-conscious or else they'll become obese. From what I've read, peer groups matter a lot [1] and this research would suggest most peer groups are more overweight than they used to be.

Honestly I'm kind of baffled by (what I assume) is the moderation teams' stance on downvotes. I see so many seemingly reasonable comments with "edit: why am I being downvoted into oblivion". I'm not saying the site is ruined, but I can easily ask: how is that productive?

The whole point of having a downvote system is to correct people towards more productive behavior, no? If people don't know what they said wrong, how can they fix it?

If the the user can't figure out why they're being punished, and someone like me who has been on this site for a long time and is also going "why on earth did that get downvoted", then what purpose does it serve other than as a public flogging device?

Then again, considering that the site design hasn't changed to even have a up-vote button that works on mobile, I'm not exactly holding my breath that anything here could ever change.
There's very, very cheap food now that's also low-effort and craving-satisfying and/or inducing. All sorts of crappy low- or zero-prep food has gotten both cheaper and better at being hard to resist. Meanwhile, sedentary entertainment has gotten much better and also very cheap.
This is the right idea, but let's not stop there. Why not also tax privately registered vehicles to some degree by their mass?

I also like the idea of making fines for moving violations somewhat proportional to vehicle mass. The danger posed to others by a 150 lb moped pales in comparison to that of a 4500 lb pickup truck. At least in the U.S., a ticket for speeding 50% over the limit through a residential neighborhood is the same for both, for example. Neither is OK, but considering the disparity in the potential for damage and injury to others, imposing equal fines is insane.
It would be preferable that rail be used for transportation and it's unfortunate that trucking in particular gets subsidized.

However, I don't think your argument justifies that American policy prejudice towards cars and suburbs. Suburbs involve more roads - trucks may the force that mainly consumes roads but of course the higher the road-to-people ratio is, the more those roads are going to be consumed by those trucks. Which is to say, of course cars and trucks both go to the far suburbs and the nowhere's villes around the country and of course these trips are part of maintaining these places.

Moreover, if we moved to more rail transit, the little towns would be more in trouble because rail tends to require larger loads and so would raise the price of goods in far suburban malls and such.
I look at it the other way around. They're probably talented enough to make it past probation, so their leaving was them deciding to leave, rather than not making it. That is, any investment you make in them, giving them slack to get up to speed in a codebase, you'll lose because they don't stick around.
I think the reason people wonder is that Lattner was at Apple for more than 10 years, so 2.5 years DOES look short.

First of all thanks for your honesty here. Sometimes the hardest part is just reaching out.

Many of the challenges you've experienced I've also experienced. I've found that a vacation to a 2nd or 3rd world country for at least 2-3 weeks will help me reset. I think it's a combination of going somewhere I've never been and being able to see people less fortunate who seemingly are happy with much less than what we have here.

Death is incredibly difficult for me to accept..and trying to pretend like I'm fine when Im mourning a loss its near impossible. People tend to be understanding to a point but healing is personal and everyone deals with loss differently.

I've found that helping others is also incredibly rewarding and useful to reconnect when life has pulled the rug out from other me. No matter what I'm going through there is always someone going through something even more challenging. Even if all I can do is listen to them and share their experience.
Sometimes that's all any of us need - someone to empathize with our situation.

Finally I add one more thing I've found. I tend to try and avoid pain and have struggled with addiction in the past. Fortunately my last bout of severe depression I used the previous experience and decided to run the Camino de Santiago. I ran the 500+ mile trail from France to the coast of Spain and in a lot of physical discomfort. Most people walk this over the course of a month - I would love to have a chance to do this again with more time. Absolutely life changing and you will make friends from all over the world. Highly recommend trying something uncomfortable -- its an incredible to be able to feel physical pain and yet still be grateful!

I hope you find peace and grow from this!

I have no knowledge about previous stories being flagged.

I do have experience in aviation safety and know the article linked to is irresponsibly speculative. I also have first hand experience in unexpectedly losing a loved one, and know how painful such baseless speculation can be.
That feels pretty legit to me. I don't remember reading that, but when I drive a car and I've got more than 2 lanes to choose from, I usually end up in the middle. The right lane always has people merging, either to enter or exit, or trucks lumbering along at 45. The left lane always has someone wanting to do 90 in a 55. Middle is the smoothest, from a traffic flow perspective.

On a motorcycle it's all about riding between the left-most and its neighbor. More cars expect you there because most motorcycles ride there, so they make more room. The next lane-line is a death trap, from cars in the second lane moving over for a motorcyclist over there.
Does anybody know more about how this happens? As a fellow dropout, I've sometimes wanted to go back for a master's, but there's no way I'm spending n years getting a bachelor's first.
If the interpreter state contains large variables checkpointing might not be viable (eg I have dataframes that are 100s of GB/large fractions of total available memory, reading/writing from hard drive all the time would be relatively slow. If you can save deltas I guess it wouldn't be too space inefficient but I imagine still slow).

At the same time, I do like the idea of an append only notebook where you can:

1. Only run cells in sequential order

2. Only edit cells that are below the most recently ran cell.

Thankfully you can enforce it through code practice and the notebook is relatively guaranteed to be "run all"-able. You will need to refactor it after the initial dirty run, but at least it's easy to reason about.
I like the site - though the list of rooms took a while to load (~10 seconds - I don't know if that is normal)
Moreover we don't have to cram all the silicon and batteries into the glasses themselves. Some of it, especially an extended battery pack, wifi and storage hardware, can be stored in a small, lightweight, slim-profile backpack that's wired to the AR glasses. Probably the rendering silicon too if the short-distance bandwidth between backpack and glasses doesn't induce too much lag.

Wearing small backpacks and fanny packs while urban adventuring is not uncommon. AR companies could just bootstrap off that already existing "infrastructure" with small backs that can still carry stuff, but with AR tech also inside them.
Which cruise line did you go on? I've stopped going on Carnival because the food is worse than it was 10 years ago. This video was Royal Caribbean, which I think is still great!
>You can't read any thread that touches on filesystems without the ZFS zealots coming out.

Agreed 100%. That's particularly annoying to us desktop users. It took me years to figure out that no, FreeBSD aside, it doesn't bring anything to the table outside of enterprise storage use cases. At least it doesn't bring anything that's worth the hassles (I don't have to export ntfs filesystems before using them on another computer; same for ext4 -and then there's performance).
I've played with prototypes of this by calling fork on IPython to take snapshots of interpreter state https://github.com/thomasballinger/rlundo/blob/master/readme... but if you can't serialize state fully, rerunning from the top (bpython's approach) can work, or rerunning as a dependency dag shows is necessary (my current employer Observable's approach) works nicely.

Good to see someone working on this. Jira is awful but they have a strong enterprise hold with a bazillion switches.

It’s slow as hell and even the simplest things in their UX takes multiple clicks. Like resolving a ticket should be as simple as dragging it to done column but JIRA makes brings an additional popup for resolution type. Annoying UX like that.

Definitely a big opportunity to make a dent here.

Feedback: don’t use Atlassian JIRA’s screenshot on the main repo page. Have a screenshot of the UI you’ve actually built.
If people are wondering about cases that can cause this - a common one (for me) is a mis-spelled variable name. If you go back and change it, the old one is still there and if you make the same mistake twice you will have code that runs but doesn't work. It's then really not obvious why it doesn't work.
I think it largely has to do with not being as active. We have a lot more desk jobs now than we had in the past. In the past people didn't have to go to the gym to not be overweight, they burned it all off when they were going throughout their day.
If you can power through it then you've never been in a burnout situation. Burnouts build up over months, if not years to the point you are no longer able to function.

It's not that hard to avoid them if you remain aware of how your environment impacts how you feel and don't just walk around ignoring an environment that puts you in a constant negative state.

Anyway, I do agree that it's an overused term. Some people just need a holiday, a change of job or a different romantic partner and they'll be fine in a short amount of time.

It is also possible to use current sensing to measure torque.

ODrive + brushless + encoder (~150€ per axis) can provide current measurements, though you may need to create some PID loop.

If the brushless solution is still too expensive. You can use 775 brushed motors + encoder + BTS 7960 driver + (optional gearbox) (They have current sensing by using additional resistance (Edit:and RC filter) ) (10€-50€ per axis from china). Although that's not powerful enough for jumping robots.

I always wondered whether the 7-day cruises were stocked only once at the beginning, or restocked mid-way at ports.

Mostly that the server scripts were run on Rhino and accessed APIs written in Java that would be difficult to port to a standard environment. The client scripts ran against a GWT-based runtime, and so had some API oddities they had to deal with too.
So yes, 5G will be slower then a wired but it will be much much cheaper to cover wider swaths of area because 5G doesnt need to dig up the ground to every house to install. For places where it is very difficult for broadband to reach, 5G speeds can be a suitable option.

So, like a "surgical team"? Fred Brooks proposed that 45 years ago, and I still don't see any evidence that anyone is moving in that direction.

Everyone I know says that all programmers and managers need to read TMMM, but any time I've brought up any part of that book other than Brooks's Law, I've been immediately shot down. According to every coworker and manager I've had, this book is a classic of the field -- yet apparently has all of one useful sentence between its covers.

The trick to burnout is don't believe it exists. I stopped believing I'm actually burned out, and I've experienced much less burnout by simply not giving into it. Perseverance. But actually it does exist and it can take a strong hold sometimes, but you shouldn't feel yourself "becoming" or easing into burnout. If you are, you're giving into it, letting it take you. Persist until it's an unavoidable thing, then discuss with therapist if needed. Take the advice from others about physical activity and whatnot.
Jupyter Notebook/Jupyter Lab has replaced IPython as the notebook front end.

I suspect 90%+ of Python Notebook work is done in Jupyter/Jupyter Lab (or things built on it like Google Collab/Kaggle Kernels).

traditional notebook GUIs of Matlab and Mathematica, something we used in the 90s and 2000s. From my feeling, they were more robust, could handle large data better

I've done 10s of terabyte analysis on Jupyter (Spark backend) and I personally know people doing petabyte work on it so this seems doubtful.

I think the numbers are likely exaggerated to the point of being almost useless. It all depends on how BMI is measured. If it's not measured, the number are useless. The website says:

> There are a number of ways to measure body fat. Some are well suited to the doctor’s office, such as calculating a person’s BMI.

That seems to suggest a simple calculation given height and weight. That is not a proper way to measure BMI. BMI must be measured. Otherwise it simply is not a reflection of anything but an inaccurate calculation that doesn't apply to most people and overestimates the number of overweight and obese people. Yes there are a lot of overweight and obese people, but exaggerating the numbers by using inaccurate formulas and pretending like the numbers were measured instead of calculated doesn't do anyone any good.

Nah, not bye karm at all. I realize that's how devops is supposed to work. It's just that I've never seen it work that way IRL.

I suspect that the ideal of devops is only practical in very small companies. Past a certain scale, social factors become at least as important as technical ones in deciding how responsibilities will be divided. It's hard to feel confident about that having never seen "bonafide devops" even being attempted anywhere but on paper, though.

MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL, introduced with a microcode update a while back.
Ahh, I mis-read the meaning. However, the size of the tank of Helium would make this kit very expensive (if even possible) to ship. The more practical solution would be to have a working relationship with a company like AirGas or similar company so that the kit would include the payment for the tank of helium that could be picked up at a location near/local to them.

This would still make it a very practical kit and a good idea. It took several hours of looking online for local locations to purchase our gas, so including the pre-paid coupon would be a big plus. Especially for groups that might do this one time only.
