1) Built a neural network for which consciousness that experiences and expresses pleasure and pain emerges from the neuron’s physical properties (in other words, not a contrived simulation), but is fundamentally different than the DNA/carbon systems upon which we are built (artificially designed and constructed versus conceived organically). If you can ask a computer whether it experiences pleasure or pain, it needs to be designed to do so without being explicitly programmed in contrived fashion.

Or:

2) Augmented: Integrate human (or primate, for instance) nervous systems with artificial intelligence such that the experience of the AI exceeds the capacity of the organic host to differentiate between conscious reality and dreaming, but is still distilled down in a way that allows the human host to have a sufficiently symbiotic interaction as it pertains to the processing of pain and pleasure with the connected AI. The feedback loops between the pain/pleasure experience of the human host would govern the wholistic experience of the connected AI, and the human would experience the conscious aspect. You might not say that the AI is conscious, but the human host would have an intimate sense of the AI being part of an overall consciousness. (Note: must prevent the development of immortality technology for nervous systems, to avoid testing the halting problem for sentient beings.)
I see a lot of resemblance in biology between myself and cats, does that mean that cats have qualia? I infer they dream from their twitches as they sleep.

How about mice? Lizards? Fish? Insects? Nematodes? At what point do qualia stop occurring? I see a more or less continuous decline in similarity. I don't see any justification for a cut-off.

I don't think data is conscious. I suspect consciousness might be a side-effect physical computation. I don't believe there's any magic to the human brain's inputs and outputs which cannot be computed, and thus display the appearance of consciousness. In fact I see the Turing test as a thought experiment more than any actual test, a way of removing the appearance of a human body from the task of evaluating an artificial intelligence as a thinking, conscious being. If it quacks like a duck, a rose by any other name, etc.

In fact I'm not entirely convinced that the Western conception of consciousness isn't a learned cultural artifact, that there aren't people who have a more expansive notion of self which includes close family, for example. Have you ever suffered watching a relative hurt themselves? Ever had false memories of injury from childhood which you found out later happened to someone else?
Trick question: No one just voted, it’s been standard practise for almost 20 years, both parties and the courts all support it or at least refuse to take even the smallest action to stop it.
uBlock Origin is not available for Safari in its original form. It only exists as a (somewhat neutered) fork that's basically dead[0].

There's a disconnect in the sense that a lot of people think that adblocking in Safari is fine, even though it is pretty objectively less capable than Firefox/Chrome in this area right now. There's no disconnect in saying that Manifest v3 is going to hurt adblockers, because the same changes in Safari also hurt adblockers, and (as of last time I checked) Chrome's proposed changes go even farther than Safari's did.

But in general, yes, you should already be avoiding Safari today if you want to use the best adblockers on the market. Safari suffers from the exact same problems, that's why I use Firefox even when I'm on a Mac -- because the adblockers and security extensions for Firefox are just a lot better.

So, a big concern which drove much of the adoption of HTTPS and other security technologies for the Internet is mass public surveillance, often justified as for "national security" purposes.

The NSA for example is known to just suck up all the traffic it can get and put it in a pile for later analysis.

Maybe your mention of "Make a bomb in chem class tomorrow" was just a joke to a close friend about how much you hate school, and maybe an analyst will realise that and move on when they see it, but civil liberties advocates think it'd be better if that analyst couldn't type "bomb" into an NSA search engine and see every mention of the word by anybody in your city in the last six weeks. I agree.

Americans tried just telling the NSA not to collect this data, but the whole point of spooks is to do this stuff, short of terminating the agency they were always going to collect this data, it's in their nature. So the practical way forward is to encrypt everything.

Any TLS connection can't be snooped. Only the participants get to see the data. The NSA isn't going to live MITM every single TLS connection so even with self-signed certificates the effect is you prevent mass surveillance.

A targeted attack will MITM you, no doubt, and so that is the reason to insist on certificates, but it's wrong to insist as you do that there's no benefit without them.

You can use a proxy, yes. The workaround I suggested to users on OS X 10.4 – 10.8 was to set up a web server with the following PHP file:

<?
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
$url = $_GET['url'];
echo file_get_contents($url);

And then edit the dashboard widget's API request url to point to:

http://theWebServer.com/thePhpFile.php?url=https://darkSkyURL

But, this required users to have access to a web server.

I very briefly considered setting up a public instance, but I'm not a professional web developer and didn't know what the implications would be, either for the overall security of my server, or in bandwidth costs, particularly if malicious users started using the "proxy" for other things. All of the client-side code is out in the open, so it also wasn't clear how I'd make an authentication scheme. I'm sure there's a way, but again, not a web developer!

An isolated fail in 2014 by one vendor, primarily due to poor support processes, is not a convincing argument to keep all digital identities in Google's possession.

There's also the risk of Google shutting down your account because you do something they don't like. This will lead to a similiar outcome and you won't have any recourse.
Far too many websites don't do this. A lot of people seem to think that my Gmail address is their's, so I end up signed up for a lot of email lists.

I'm sure Apple is good about this now, but many years ago someone had used my Gmail address for their Apple ID. I wanted to switch my Apple account to use my Gmail, but couldn't because someone else's account used it. Support told me they couldn't do anything about it. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do this first, but I just reset their password, changed the email address to something else, and reclaimed my email.
What email host are you using? Have you considered blacklisting individual email addresses?
A note on Deno and the safety of its V8 bindings:

> All of the V8 source code is distributed in the crate itself. Finally rusty_v8 attempts to be a safe interface. It's not yet 100% safe, but we're getting close. Being able to interact with a VM as complex as V8 in a safe way is quite amazing and has allowed us to discover many difficult bugs in Deno itself.

We'll also have to wait on who will be the first to have a production ready Javascript Engine written in Rust that could replace V8, if you're talking about safety.

Even with the "safe" bindings, you will still get the same C and C++ vulnerabilities found in V8 that will also be present in Deno.

Any one had any luck bying broken GPUs from eBay?
Just asking because I have seen a RX580 on Ebay that said that it works but resets when installing the drivers. This sounds to me like just like a botched install of windows or a heat sink that needs reseting. I was thinking that it could be a cheep card to try my luck on. So has any one got a gpu and fixed it or had it just work?

Delightful; especially to create words for their sound rather than their meaning, which the machine declares for whatever reasons it has at the time. It interested me that I was sometimes disappointed with the supplied definition, and sometimes strangely pleased, even though I'd no meaning in mind when I made up words. This is sublime.

Our video technology is designed to capture and reproduce what humans can see. If all humans were red-green colourblind, we would only have designed our videos to capture green-blue images, and our TVs would only output green-blue images. To us, they would look like perfect reproductions of the world.

In that world, you would be arguing there are only two colours. Yet, the image on those green-blue TVs would obviously not be an accurate reproduction if viewed by a person with normal RGB colour vision from our world.

Similarly, compared to Geordi La Forge, we are all colourblind. He can distinguish thousands of different wavelengths of light independently, and to him our current RGB videos look nothing like the reality they attempt to depict, due to all the colours they throw away.
I feel like Lua would have gotten more traction in the early days, and maybe eclipsed Python, if it wasn't so hyper-focused on being a tiny embed-able language/runtime. It was so well-designed from the very beginning.

Every new release of Python seems like it gets bigger and bigger and more and more incomprehensible. The Python 2 -> 3 transition was a (necessary?) disaster. And now we're trying, in earnest, to figure out how to get rid of the GIL. The async/await syntax is a whole other fiasco. Now we have colored functions all over the place. Python code doesn't even work with Python code. It's just an absolute mess.

Hopefully, the investments we're seeing in nuclear will help make it (politically) competitive again to fill the need for baseline power that natural gas is filling. Lower costs to build a plant would lower the activation energy needed to get plants running, non-weaponizeable fuels would help geopolitically, amd especially decreased or less dangerous nuclear waste would be politically hugely important. In the absence of a breakthrough with fusion, fission power could go a long way to cutting carbon emissions
But we have to admit, that most people will be happy enough with a Node.js with browser APIs.

The way I've sort of thought of tips, it's more like "well, they're driving X miles to/from the store to deliver my order, so the tip should maybe cover that, plus a bit more if they're friendly". But in times like this sometimes I'm ordering from a very short distance that takes a minute or two of driving, so they hardly need, say, $3 dollars tip for gas since it probably wasn't even 1/10 a gallon to get the food and deliver it.
Uh...no. A safepoint is when all threads in the JVM have blocked (which is purely cooperative, and happens during thread transitions), and, importantly, when OS threads running native code still are running, but can't return/respond to the JVM. The JVM doesn't pause those threads.

Which is the point. You can't preempt crunching those numbers if it's not within the BEAM. Which might be fine. Or it might not. Making it invisible to the user is not really a good idea when going for soft realtime properties; at least with a NIF and dirty scheduler you're being explicit about it.
I hope they name the authors of the theses that they used to achieve this. It's inconceivable to me that some dude sat down and decided how everything should be coded.

This is misleading so we need to take it out (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

> expand Patriot Act with DOJ access to your web browsing and search activity without a warrant

This sounds accurate once it's clear that it's a proposed amendment, but needs shortening. How could we shorten it? Well, "without a warrant" can turn into "warrantless". "DOJ" can probably be dropped, since whether it's DOJ or some other government branch isn't of top-level importance. And "you" or "your" can almost always be dropped from titles; that's a linkbait trope anyhow (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). Applying those edits I get:

> expand Patriot Act with warrantless access to web browsing and search activity

That's shorter but not short enough because we need to get the amendment bit in there. At this point I'd probably compress "web browsing and search activity" into a short phrase that covers both. "Web history" comes to mind. Edit: on second thought, we can just keep the title's original word, "activity"—it's always best not to introduce new words if the existing ones will do:

> expand Patriot Act with warrantless access to web activity

Now we have 22 chars before the 80 limit. We can do this:

> Amendment to expand Patriot Act with warrantless access to web activity

Can we do this?

> Proposed amendment to expand Patriot Act with warrantless access to web activity

Yes we can! 80 chars on the nose. So I'd probably go with that and then wait for users to tell me how I got it wrong.

Edit: changed the title. Submitted title was "Congress to expand Patriot Act access to browsing/search history without warrant".
1) You can see a complete list of changes here https://github.com/reasonml/reason-react/blob/a70d9e6b51ed0a... . We consider it a huge release partly because it adds some long-awaited bindings, partly because of the documentation improvements, and partly because of how community-driven the release was.

2) BuckleScript's creator works for Facebook and has both a specific focus and a long-term vision for the project, more details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWEQjvGGiTA . He also regularly blogs about ongoing improvements: https://reasonml.org/blog . Facebook Web Messenger and other products are heavily reliant on BuckleScript. I would consider that to be production-ready.

From a comment by Baeocystin:

"If you use our tools, we can kill your livelihood at any time for any reason and tough shit if you want a why"

It has always been thus with proprietary tools and platforms.

Back in 2011 I switched careers from developing software on proprietary stacks - at the time C# 4.0, Silverlight, and MS Windows - to developing on open source stacks, starting with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript.

A short time after I switched away from Silverlight, I found a bug in the open source XML library my team was using. I then submitted a PR to fix it, which was merged (with some revision :)) after a few days. The experience was a revelation after the combination of magic 8 ball and years-long wait times for non-critical bug fixes on Visual Studio.

It looks like the younger generation is busy rediscovering the vulnerability and helplessness of proprietary systems themselves.
For this sort of problem Rust's safety guarantees don't buy you all that much. If you're generating machine code and implementing a GC that's not the sort of thing that Rust's typesystem can prove correct.

That said, a rust JS runtime would be amazing just because it's easier to integrate into rust projects.
As someone who as implemented similar CC blockers before: people who forget to cancel leave after one month, leave a bad reviews which affect future growth, and make churn numbers bad. I do not want many of those people, and will both send multiple reminders that they will be charged and refund them no questions asked.

Cognitive Biases and Principles That Affect Your UX
Wow, just wow! Unfortunately I did expect your response from the HN crowd. You and I have very different ways of looking at the world.

The entitlement and privilege among software engineers in the US to have crazy high salaries and "perks" such as health insurance is exactly the reason why I will never move there. I think your last statement sums up the situation very well, but it baffles me how any decent human being would consider that to be a positive.

You may think I am crazy, but did you know that insanely high salaries of a select few is one of the reasons that directly or indirectly leads to income and wealth inequalities in the world, one of the biggest problems of our generation? While you may have excellent health care for $20/month, what about the barista at your local coffee shop? What about your disabled neighbor who got laid off for no fault of hers? How can you live with yourself while they die of cancer as they cannot afford to go to the hospital? And don't get me started on education. How that is viewed as a commodity rather than a basic human right astounds me.

I am very happy with my $60k/year job. I have more than sufficient for myself, and a decent amount to spare. I have excellent healthcare for free and independent of my job situation, and so do all my neighbors. I live in a city with no homeless, and no one desperately poor. I do engaging work for 7 hrs a day and religiously shut my computer at 4 pm, and pursue my many passions afterwards. I have 6 weeks a year of paid vacations, and travel to a handful of countries every year. I paid $50/semester to get educated at a top university, and so will my children. And I received a stipend to cover part of my living expenses. I love the fact that I do not have to worry about getting shot (as rare as that might be). I love living in a country with highly educated people all around with most having the skills of critical thinking. I love living in one of the most gender equal countries of the world (I am male). No offense to anyone, but I wouldn't trade this for a $250k/year job in the U.S. (as levels.fyi seems to suggest for my case).
I had Apple point out that I hadn’t yet added a TOS for a trivia app I was making; they’re very thorough.
Well, my main Elixir project is the backend of a web service. The input is JSON from the frontend and JSON or XML from a number of third party APIs. We process it, hit the db with select, update, insert and usually return a value. The same function with the same inputs usually returns different values because the db is stateful.

What I like of Elixir is not functional programming, it's the extensive use of pattern matching. What I like less is the convoluted syntax of GenServer with all those handle_cast/calls that obfuscate the real code. As a GenServer is usually a way to store a state, they should have had the courage of calling them objects and give them an object like syntax. After all they initially sold Elixir to developers coming from OO languages. If they had given it a Java like syntax maybe it would be 10 or 100 times as big by now.

I'm concerned about people wearing masks being targeted.

We've already seen some of that early on, but it was before masks were broadly recommended, and was tied into anti-Asian racism. This time, I'm worried that masks are rapidly becoming the visible, prominent symbol of social distancing etc; there's already active pushback against them, and attempts to enforce them, to the point of extreme violence. At some point, merely wearing them around people who do not do so, becomes an unwelcome reminder to those people, even if you're really only wearing it for safety reasons.
