Hmmm

It is indeed an intriguing topic to consider. I hear something like my own voice both when I am thinking throughout the day and when I am writing, such as right now I hear my “imaginary voice” speaking what I’m typing out.

The idea of ones own voice is hard to describe. I perceive it as similar to what my voice sounds like, but from heard from within, almost like you’ve rolled off a bunch of the high-end. Imaginary voice is much more consistent in volume and tone for me too than speaking, much less emotional, almost no variety in pitch.

I wouldn’t say I think in full-sentence monologues all day, but I guess I think in fragments of sentences? It’s one of those things that is hard to look back and remember doing and explain how you did it, kind of like breathing. It’s just automatic.

I wonder if some of the “no monologue” people aren’t much different from the rest of us, but they just didn’t articulate their process the same way. I can kind of identify with the concept map thing, so I could probably answer differently depending on mood or how I felt when I read the survey.

Worth pointing out that running Kafka is itself no small thing. So now you've added BI and also Kafka, which itself requires a bundle of services to operate. And you have to keep BI and Kafka in sync with all your various other data stores' schemas, and with each other.

Which all gets back to the point of the OP.

I have the exact same experience. It may even, unintentionally, be the _reason_ I don't listen to Pop music. It's generally not even a whole song - usually not even the chorus. I'll get a 2-4 second loop in my head of some insignificant section of a crappy song for 2 or 3 whole days.

Like you, it will sometimes start when I'm sleeping. I won't remember much of the dream, but the song is still there, echoing as it was in whatever setting my dream took place.
For me it can be "auditory" in the same way that I can "see" pictures of things I'm thinking of inside my head. My understanding is when you're visualizing something in your head -- say, your partner's face -- the visual cortex is activated as if you are actually seeing it. The same goes for my thoughts.

Not every thought is actually.... auralized? auditorialized? ...though. There's some sort of default mode that I operate in most of the day. I don't have to "hear" every single thought I have, I'm able to take in information and perform common actions without hearing thoughts. But, as soon as I go into "conscious" mode, nearly everything becomes sounded out internally. For instance, when programming, I'm constantly having a real internal conversation along the lines of, "Okay, so if this value is Y here, but then this transformation happens, then..." And yes, this occurs in my voice, or at least how my voice sounds to me when I speak. (Sometimes, when I'm really in the flow of it, I'll even start unintentionally voicing it out loud.) I actually like this, because it forces my thoughts to slow down -- when I'm really thinking through a hard problem, I have no choice but to think at the speed of my monologue. It's like built-in rubber-duck debugging.

Having said all of this, we know that thoughts can be expressed differently in different people because deaf individuals (who were born deaf) certainly do not have an ongoing auditory inner monologue.

I mean, at the end of the day, a thought is just a pattern of firing neurons, so what precise neurons are involved is going to impact how you experience that thought.

Sometimes it feels more like Memento
Not only that but my inner voice can do impressions: I can have "it" do accents or imitate specific people whose voice I know well.

Also sometimes (albeit rarely) a thought might actually make me smile or even laugh out loud a little out of surprise with no external input so to speak.

Quite weird, come to think of it... do others do this too?
Completely due to bundling. My last employer was using Slack until MS basically told them they could have Teams for free as part of the O365 subscription.

Forgery is criminal regardless of private or official document is concerned. Even in a military setting, forgery of business-related documents are illegal.

> A little more liability for destructive behavior would be great for most people.

Why not full rights, full liability? Replace imprisonment and death by temporary and permanent suspension of company (including re-establishment of a sequel organisation out of a subset of stakeholders) respectively; and voila.
There are many business environments where copying the data is effectively intractable so you need to run all of your data model operations in a single instance. More data models have this property with each passing year, largely because copying data is very slow and very expensive.

This is not a big deal if your system is designed for it, sophisticated database engines have good control mechanisms for ensuring that heavy reporting or analytical jobs minimally impact concurrent operational workload.
You know that got me thinking, biking rules vary far more than for cars.

Depending on your location, pedestrian traffic, streets, street traffic, etc. It might be best for you to be on the sidewalk. Or maybe you should instead be on the road since the road is only 25mph and there's pedestrians on the sidewalk. Maybe there's a bike lane, maybe there isn't. Maybe a town has a law saying you HAVE to bike on the road.

Are you allowed to cut through parking lots? Is it a dirt road? Can everyone's bikes handle dirt roads? What if it just rained, cars can still cross a wet dirt road, but I'd rather take a different route if possible on a bike.

That's not including the terrain challenges (which google seems to incorporate). I'd far rather take a route that takes an extra 5 minutes and is basically level vs a route that saves time but requires you to go down and uphill. Heck even wind conditions change can change the "optimal route" in some cases.
US negligence law encourages physicians to follow "the medical standard of care." This means doing what they are taught in medical school shields MDs from liability until the standard of care changes. The law discourages MDs from deviating from "standard" practice because doing so removes the "standard of care" liability shield.

The software developers are not protected by the "standard of care" shield. The software developers, like just about every other profession are held to a higher standard than MDs, namely "ordinary care" or "reasonable care".

Is a software company taking reasonable care to avoid harm when it builds a software feature that secretly encourages doctors to issue dangerous prescriptions? I don't know -- doesn't sound like it to me. Though there are probably a few plaintiff's attorneys willing to find out how a jury thinks about it.

Is the appeal brief considered a reliable source?

https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-2nd-circuit/186

"The district court found by a preponderance of the evidence that Ulbricht commissioned at least five murders in the course of protecting Silk Road's anonymity, a finding that Ulbricht does not challenge in this appeal. Ulbricht discussed those anticipated murders callously and casually in his journal and in his communications with the purported assassin Redandwhite."

"Ulbricht does not mention his orders for the commission of those murders until his reply brief. Even there, he does not argue that the district court erred in concluding that he deliberately commissioned those murders; rather, he claims instead only that the murders did not support a life sentence because they did not actually take place."

"But in evaluating Ulbricht's character and dangerousness, the most relevant points are that he wanted the murders to be committed, he paid for them, and he believed that they had been carried out. The fact that his hired assassin may have defrauded him does not reflect positively on Ulbricht's character. Commissioning the murders significantly justified the life sentence."
Because people don't want to think.
I do this almost all day every day. With practice you can actually do edits pitch shifts rearrangements, etc.
I dream up movies and songs and all sorts of rich fantasies in my head, and I do this constantly. As a consequence of this, I never get bored as I've got an incredible imagination to lean on.

I think about movies I want to make, startups I want to create, the change I want to put into the world. New songs on my commute, goals I want to accomplish, what I could do with time travel. I'm always working on the structures of my different dream worlds, modifying the rules and the characters, exploring how they interact. The languages they speak, and the rules of the magic and science systems that form the bounds of their existence.

I have never once in my life been bored. Not once. I can sit in an empty room and just daydream.

If I play music or walk or run, this imaginative power is supercharged and becomes a transcendent experience. It's why I love running and headphones. I haven't taken drugs, but I imagine it's something like that. It's a pure, unfettered deluge of dopamine. I can also walk in circuits and circles around my house doing this and can waste hours in fantasy. Entire weekends can be "wasted" this way.

I think this is a source of my ADHD. I've got instant dopamine fixes from my raw imagination and it's incredibly hard to do anything else as I can always give myself something better to do by just daydreaming.

As an aside, the dreams that I have when I sleep are almost like movies. They have intricate (but often nonsensical) plots, and I'm seldom even involved.

The main thing I want to do with my life is to create tools so I can get this out of my head and out into the world.

I wonder how many other people daydream like this and have a vibrant inner creativity?

Things like Maxwell[0] help a lot with the getting stuff into Kafka from the DB, but I agree with your point entirely. Kafka is not something I’d recommend unless you’ve got a team dedicated to maintaining it. Thankfully Confluent is rising up to fill that need and reasonably priced. Confluent also has an offering for streaming binlogs into Kafka too.

I want to be clear: I don't care, and I doubt Facebook cares.

But legally, I think this code was stolen. Facebook owns the copyright to the source code, so copying and distributing is theft in the same way that copying and distributing database contents is theft.

"Is it Apple Maps bad?" --Gavin Belson, Silicon Valley

They had no place to go but up. That first version was absolutely embarrassing. I'm honestly surprised they were allowed to make it this far. To this day, I still do not use Apple Maps. As much as they try to get me to use it with all of the iOS embedding they've done, I still won't use it.
I've already said this a couple other places but I really wanted to say: "This is amazing and it would be hilarious if you wrote a CNoEvil vs. BOURNEGOL head to head article".

May I also suggest your company to look into the opposite, basically extremely bright lights. I'm picturing one bulb that can go extremely bright in the morning for things like SAD, and then adjust throughout the day.

You may think extremely bright SAD lights is already readily available, but there's anecdotal evidence to suggest they are insufficient

Perhaps, and not in the direction you think.

We don't need the Senate to be the House. We already have the House for that.

If you think that the Senate is the problem, that more House-like behavior is what we need, then what it says about you is that you don't understand the point behind the American system of government. The point was to not have too much direct democracy. If you don't understand why that was the point, yes, that says something about you.
You will obviously notice any aquifer while drilling on the way down. And there may indeed well be water very deep down. But from what I understand, they are not connected with more surface level, and any diffusion of material takes a very long time. Keep in mind the pressure at those depths. Water is obviously lighter than rock, and if it had a way to go up, it would have.

When switching from film to digital, we took a lot of steps back and are slowly catching up to quality. I guess around the 2010s, theaters started switching to digital projection, which I believe started with 1K (similar to 1080), then 2K, with a small amount of theaters showing 4K projection. Most high-quality 35mm film is equivalent to 4K resolution. Unfortunately, a lot of movies were shot and mastered at 2K or less, like Mad Max fury road, so there's no point of having them at 4K because the information was never there. With old 35mm, it was probably scanned for dvd or vhs at some point, but studios are going back and scanning movies to 4K with great results. Megapixels aside (an irrelevant number btw), dynamic range was pretty bad compared to film in the early days of digital, but it's starting to get there. The revenant was shot on digital and looks amazing.

Once you start watching on streaming though, you're losing so much to compression. Even with 4K HDR blu-ray, you're only getting 10 bits of color compared to 12 bits with DCP (digital projection).
I'd argue it is. Nobody's claiming that Facebook has caused direct or serious harm here; they've just broken the rules that we put in place to ensure people who do want to do nasty things with your data can't do it. That's very analogous to speeding, which by itself harms nobody but is part of a regulatory system to minimize car accidents.
Brains are so weird! When I get deep into thought sometimes my internal monologue doesn't turn off but it sort of spinlocks by repeating bits of songs that are tangentially related to whatever it is that I'm thinking of abstractly. I have a sense in general that there are two parts of my brain that are semi-independent.

I play time-attack puzzle games; and some of my best times have been while I'm listening to an audiobook, music or deep in thought about some emotional problem. It feels like I actually perform both tasks better if I'm doing them simultaneously because my "vague processing" isn't interrupted by my "sharp processing" and vice versa.

I'm working on a PhD in cognitive science. Something that I think relates to this is the idea of Emboddied Cognition [0], and in particular off-line emboddied cognition, where you use sensorimotor mechanisms in your body while thinking, even if you're not actually interacting with the environment. In this case it would be your brain activating the same audio processing areas you use when sound enters your ear, even though you're generating the sounds inside your head while thinking.

Why is TPU support important to openAI? They run their code on Microsoft servers.
Only a tiny percentage of people use colab for deep learning.
Also, if you search PyTorch tpu you can find details of preliminary support from Google.

PyTorch will make their engineers and scientists a decent amount more productive. I don't see how that's unintelligent at all.

Very interesting. I am not sure that I am one or the other.

My thoughts form in a soup of cognition. Then if I pay attention become words, or smeeld, sounds, tastes....

Related: I play guitar in two rock bands. I have to reach a state in my mind between attention and inattention to do well. For example if I count beats I loose my rhythm. But if I stop paying attention I loose... So I need to be in a intermediate state.
You're overlooking the strong reasons why OpenAI might want everyone on the same page. (Code reuse, accumulation of expertise, specialization of infrastructure, ...).
The final straw that got me to ditch android was Google sending me push notifications asking me to review places I've been to, via maps.

If you want reviews, pay secret shoppers. And if you want me to use your app, don't make it painfully obvious you're spying on exactly where I go and when to do what.
fwiw, I appreciated it. I just wrote this in a separate forum:

While I'm sure this is mostly not-that-likely, I totally agree that a discussion about the vulnerability of such systems would be intriguing. What kind of cyberpunk future are we developing as a check against the inevitability of some billionaire's less-than-wholesome private interstellar armament? I'm sure such a discussion may provide a modicum of comfort to Johnny Depp's ex-wives, at least.

How about starting offering refund for the Windows tax for Linux users on any purchased hardware? Lenovo are disgusting in refusing to refund the Windows tax. One of the worst companies to deal with in this regard.

Waze would always route me through a spiderweb of neighborhood streets to save me a couple minutes of commute time back when I used to use it, but the main reason I switched is that I prefer the design of Apple Maps, and it works "good enough". Google Maps and Waze don't really feel like they fit into the iOS design guidelines, and the overhead of loading all that sponsored content within them just makes them feel sluggish while Apple Maps is always buttery smooth and keeps most of its interface out of your way when you're not using it.
I'll bet you $20 that GPT-3 will be in Pytorch.

My point is that we probably won't be seeing more awesome projects from OpenAI written in Tensorflow. And that's unfortunate. Memory saving gradients were particularly helpful.
i have been using Apple Maps exclusively for the past year (in Los Angeles and Denver/Boulder areas) with no issue/problems. Google Maps is cluttered with an ugly phantasmagoria of adverts and after a while of not needing to use it, i just deleted it from all my devices. The only feature i find myself wanting that Google Maps has that Apple Maps lacks is an "offline maps" feature.
USB interconnecting will bring in noisy ground loops that will have musicians and recording engineers pulling out their hair.

I just switched to a bus-powered USB-C (Arrow) audio interface and have picked up a nasty ground loop/dirty power noise problem in the process. Current setup is a MacBook with the Arrow directly plugged in, and MacBook powered by a second thunderbolt 3 connection to an OWC Tb3 dock, and I am assuming if I power the Mac with its dedicated power supply the noise issue will go away, but if it doesn’t... well, I don’t know what else I could do to fix it.

In the past I’ve solved all similar issues by using a powered USB hub between the problem devices and laptop.
But I’d argue Monoliths don’t have anything inherent to them which makes reporting easier. A proper BI setup requires a lot of hard work no matter how the backend services are built.
