> And so far, this body of knowledge suggests strongly that we can't trust our perception of consciousness.

But perception is a part of conscious experience. We don't perceive consciousness independent of things in the world. They go hand in hand. So we know about the world because we have conscious experiences of perceiving the world.

What Dennett and others are trying to argue is that only the qualities of perception which are objective exist, even though those qualities are accompanied by the subjective qualities. So we know the shape of an object by color and feel. If you abstract the shape out and argue the colors and feels aren't real, then what status does our knowledge of the abstract shape have?

Yup. Telegram Desktop[1] and the web client[2] are separate projects.
The desktop client is still quite heavy on resources on Linux, and needs a restart every now and then.

So, how to improve Electron?

Does it use a new instance for every app, or it loads the engine once and reuses some of it for every instance?
ie. can Electron be made to work like a system shared library, similar to GTK/Qt ?
I haven't used roam, but the screenshots made me wonder if there might be some overlap with TiddlyWiki, "a unique non-linear notebook for capturing, organising and sharing complex information."

TiddlyWiki can be as simple as a single HTML file, but can also work with a server.

There are also quite a few extensions, including TiddlyMap[1], which adds concept mapping.

How is the economy a huge problem? As long as there is water, shelter and food, you probably will be fine? I think it is a good thing it gets scaled back, that globalism is taking a good hit, that people are focusing on their own communities again.
The idea that economy always has to grow was a silly idea to begin with. I learned in this crisis, I don't need to buy shit I don't need and also never will again.

I am living in Northern Europe btw, so perhaps my perspective is a bit different.
I used to photograph large-pieces for a local gallery. I wouldn't even attempt such a job for $50 + $20/piece.

Photographing large canvasses, color-balancing, processing, & etc. Is not a quick process and requires both patience, experience, and a decent camera/lens/lighting setup.

I've seen artists list their canvasses on websites using iphone photos, and that does nothing to advertise their work.

How would you allow the harmless strain to spread without also spreading the deadly strain? If you relax or reverse social distancing, wouldn't the deadly strain also have a chance to spread widely again? It seems like you'd need to manually administer this strain to millions of people, or have very carefully administered 'contagion parties' where everyone is pre-screened for the deadly strain, while everyone else keeps social distancing.

And as a former Googler who did hundreds of interviews there, let me tell you you're wrong. It wasn't bias free even years ago, and Google has gone much more hard-core SJW since then. It's still much better than at most companies, and the article we're discussing is so wrong about the way executives are hired. But Google isn't some paragon of freedom from bias, far from it.

Ignore yourself. The system surrounding you is not unbiased and never was. Here are some things I'm aware of that happened at Google/other comparable tech firms:

1. Recruiters tracked the quality of interviewers (as judged by candidate and hiring committee feedback) and assign the best interviewers to women/minorities.

2. Sourcers could get much higher bonuses if they recruited women.

3. Comp can end up artificially higher for women, which obviously is a form of recruiting. At Microsoft managers were given bonus pots that could only be allocated to women.

4. Women who failed phone screens were presented for on-site interviews anyway in the hope that they could somehow make up for it. Men were dropped immediately.

5. Women are targeted with specialist recruiting teams, fought over to a dramatically higher extent than men.

6. Men are sometimes just excluded from recruiting events completely, e.g. "Code Jam to IO for Women".

And you seem to have chosen to ignore flashing red alarms like recruiters filing lawsuits with copies of emails where they were told to stop recruiting white men.

BTW, don't look at the firing process. Unlike hiring+promotion, engineers don't control that, HR does (PeopleOps or whatever it's called now). It's an open secret that at Google it's nearly impossible to get fired if you're a female engineer, even if your performance is terrible and your team hates you. At worst they'll start moving you around.

What is flawed there? The point of the article is to show that CuPy very often does not accelerate NumPy, especially on consumer-grade hardware. This is something that most users of NumPy/CuPy do not know, and they are led by the docs to think it does.

The reason for that is that CuPy is poorly implemented. And CuPy is poorly implemented because it is constrained by what NumPy does, which, in turn, does stuff that is OK on the CPU, and often translates poorly to the GPU.
This is not a proposal for a live attenuated vaccine.

These numbers on the death rate are not mine, but what has been reported in the scientific literature. Probably the best numbers come from South Korea where they have done a pretty good job of tracking down everyone infected. There the fatality rate is around 1.8%.

Even if the true death rate is 0.6% that still means the deaths of nearly 50 million people worldwide.

How to Get in Some Extra Cash While You Are Stuck at Home
What do you believe is going to happen if you visit a less-than-trustworthy site? For a drive-by exploit to work (assuming there is one, just because a site is "shady" it doesn't mean it will be 100% sure that it will try to infect your computer with something) it will need to make a TON of assumptions about your setup and chances are (here again the probability that security types ignore) you wont be affected.

And really those issues should be solved at the browser level not the OS level level that affects every single application that runs on it. And AFAIK they already are.

I do not want my compiler or game or renderer or whatever else to certainly become slower just because someone may visit a site that may have an infected ad that may match an exploit their browser may have and may manage to extract some information that may be useful for whoever wrote the exploit (assuming they even manage to get that info back).

Also a cryptominer will only work for as long as you have the site open, of all the things that could go wrong, this is the most benign one.

I just sent your article to my contacts at the White House, Department of Defense, DARPA and a couple of other acronym agencies. I sent this to Director level people (or just under) at those agencies.

So, I don't care about ham radio at all, but I can imagine that if you do something for fun that it's grating to have people ask you over and over again "What is it good for?" What is anything good for? What is flying kites good for? What are walks on the beach, or sunsets good for, or any of the other purposeless activities that people engage in?

It's fun to do something that nobody has done before. Even though I don't care about the actual goal, it's interesting to read about what the obstacles are, and how people overcame them.

How is that inefficient? If anything preparing major cities to be ground zero for crisis makes sense. Major cities have way more people from way more places, so it makes sense they would be the ones hardest hit by famine/disease/terrorism/etc.
> It seems like you'd need to manually administer this strain to millions of people.

Yes, but this doesn't seem too hard. Just have some infected people spit in a cup, and mix it into large vats of raspberry jam and people can then just spread it on their toast on one morning.

If we wait for the long term we will all get infected and we will all be broke. We need to think differently.

I am not arguing that we should infect people on purpose. If people chose to become infected on their own by hanging out with those infected with an attenuated strain then that is a very different legal question.

Personally I think the result would be the regulatory agency would just rush the use through based on the epidemiology data gathered in the search for the attenuated strain.

It's not just about fighting the last war, though. It's also about having competent leadership that's able to adapt to a new reality, quickly discover which of their current heuristics are wrong, and then reason from first principles about what needs to be done for a good outcome in the current situation.

There has been a spectacular difference in various nations' performance during this crisis. As a Scandinavian I'm a bit skewed in my judgement, but I'm especially in awe at Denmark and Norway's actions, given their lack of recent history with infectious disease:

Quickly discover from external evidence what the new reality is, that it's much worse than anything seen during the lifetimes of current leaders, that it requires extreme measures normally only deployed during times of war, and then use science-based leadership and a broad array of expertise to choose what measures to apply. Then apply them with vigor and competently deal with the fallout.

This is not trivial - crucially, it requires that the central leadership avoids dogmatic and heuristic reasoning adapted to conditions that no longer apply. Because even if you have such top leadership, there will be leaders on the second tier of this hierarchy that are not used to reasoning on a war footing. They will act or give advice that's normally sound, but counterproductive in the new and extreme reality. Top leadership needs to catch onto this fast, and strike down or disregard advice that's not applicable to the crisis at hand.

You can see these phenomena in a plethora of fields. Scientists grasping for N=100,000 double-blind randomized peer-reviewed studies for a novel phenomenon, rather than make the best educated guess from reasoning and available evidence. National leadership trying to solve a health-induced economic crisis by printing money and nothing else. Politicians infighting and posturing by old routine, as if the enemy army isn't already banging down the gates. Reasoning by analogy, let's do the same as we do in a bad flu season. Blame the other party, has always worked before.

Or a subtle insidious variant that's currently responsible for Sweden's problems: let the experts handle it, and dictate public policy without regard for what happens outside of their field of expertise. Turns out an expert in a narrow field with an IQ of 120 and a track record of success is a very dangerous leader. They often aren't aware of their blind spots.

Because the attenuate virus we are looking for would be one that can spread naturally. Of course humans might choose to help it along once it is found by say hanging out with an infected person. Lots of options here
I didn't get that from the article at all. There was no "that's because..." or "you need to do this to make it fast..." in the article. Instead, it's "clojure is faster without additional work". While that's super neat and thank you for showing this, bashing python because the library doesn't automatically do that and then hiding behind this silly argument isn't that enlightening.
That's a bit like saying "Just got a monitor. What's good to look at on it?" ;-)

The lack of coordination and mixed messages have been a problem. Trump has publicly said governors should be fending for themselves, and has also been "punishing" states with governors he doesn't like by not taking their calls. States have no reason to trust the federal government to properly help them, and the federal government has shown no capacity or willingness to do anything but release funds.

I don't presume to know what that depends on, but wherever you go, in my experience, there seems to be a mix of job opportunities that are diploma-centric and skill-centric. What's more, the people I'm interested working with are generally in the latter category. So it's somewhat ironic, but the whole me-not-having-a-top-school-diploma thing works to my advantage by inadvertantly pinpointing the interesting opportunities.
> What is /flawed/ there?

You're comparing float32 vs float64 computation. I don't need to tell you how much slower DGEMM is vs SGEMM esp. on the GPU (you mention this in the post yourself!).

Numpy does this for precision reasons, and CuPy simply follows its behavior. This is precisely why I noted that the float32 version runs 3x faster on the CPU.

> The reason for that is that CuPy is poorly implemented.

It's a cheap shot to call something 'poorly implemented' when you don't understand what you're benchmarking.

Not arguing that we shouldn't have anticipated this more, but to be fair the "next big things" that we were prepared for, you might not have noticed.

For instance I'm sure there are tons of serious terrorist threats that the government has prevented, but when one acctually happens, everyone complains how the government doesn't know what to do about terrorists. I'm definitely not saying they shouldnt have prevented it....just be aware of the bias.

What's wrong with having dual core?
“ all major cities must prepare to be ground zero” is the more efficient route because they are in the best position to determine what they can do and what nuances exist for their particular place.

You want a strong team of experts (epidemic experts, medial, logistical) at the federal level advising everyone what they should be doing (and perhaps making some federal funding available) and then the city and state responsible for implementing.

Otherwise you get a bureaucratic mess beholden to particular politics (eg WHO). The current version of the CDC is a good plan structurally, just poorly implemented.
I'm not an expert on these things, but I like to try to break down things into simpler concepts.

I fear that in the reasoning like in the article, many things remain unclear or nontransparent.

Maybe there is an error in picking misleading metrics and running with them?

As an example, what if you were selling a product, and you were giving people unlimited credit to buy from you. Like you suppose everybody could buy a new iPhone on credit, that never needs to be paid back.

I can imagine iPhones selling like hotcakes in that scenario.

Now the question is, in that scenario, would Apple be doing great? They'd be selling a lot of iPhones, after all. And in the books, they would have the claim to a lot of money from the people who bought on credit.

Realistically, though, they might not be doing so great, because most of their customers would end up unable to actually pay back the credit.

Maybe something similar tends to happen on a larger scale, when the article says "a weak dollar is good for the economy" - it's just that "people" (in other countries) got access to free money to buy. Whether those sales turn out to be really good ones will only become clear in the long run. Money (dollars) is just debt, so "a weak dollar" may just mean it is cheap to borrow, a ka buy stuff for almost free.

I don't know what the best metric for understanding such a situation, but it seems to me simply calculating in dollar values is rather misleading. It is a much more complicated question involving the ability of debtors to actually pay what they owe.
In the past few decades, there's been a broad movement to stop using unnecessarily gender-specific language in male-dominated fields. "Guys" is an interesting one because many people really do use it in a gender neutral sense. But for a significant number of speakers, the word does have a clear gender restriction. To these people, greeting a room with "Hey guys" sounds about the same as "Hey boys". You can imagine how this greeting would grate a little if you were not a man.

It is not really about people getting offended. The only people who really seem to get offended are the people who insist on using "guys" in spite of a polite request not to.

Language diversity tends to get overlooked quite easily. Remember that just because "guys" is gender neutral in your dialect doesn't necessarily mean that it has this feature for all English speakers across the world. You can't assume as much shared linguistic and cultural background in a programming language Slack channel as you can when you greet your friends at a bar.
