> I don't believe that there's any experience of consciousness distinct from the use of language.

Not sure there's one I can communicate to you, but I'm perfectly capable of forgetting the word for something and still knowing unambiguously yet wordlessly what it is, that's an experience.

Catching a ball? Running? Experiencing emotions from wordless music? Viewing scenery? Engaging with a computer game? How are they not conscious experiences?
It would be nice to simply eliminate the advantage that uninformed posts enjoy. If you shoot from the hip, your comment is first and will be seen by a lot more people.

A forum could instead queue up comments and only display them after a half hour has passed. People who come to the article later will still be at a disadvantage but at least this would be something. On the other hand, you'd probably get a lot of duplicate remarks... which would be less than interesting.
Pants with various side pockets have been around for literally decades -- in a wide variety of styles. I even had a pair of nice looking dress slacks in the late 90s with pockets that were almost exactly like this and were for holding phones, wallets, and PDAs. I think I got them at Costco since shock the pants being so fitted made them uncomfortable to hold stuff in the other pockets.

It's a nice blog post showing why they solve a problem and how to iterate, but it's about as novel as wearing a coat to keep from getting cold. I suspect you and the blog author are unusual in that you don't know about this pretty common pant type.
The plumbing around the BX/BH-BL registers is something I'd love to look at. BX, BP, SI, and DI were the only registers available for indexable operations (think "MOV WORD PTR [BX+2], AX"), and I wonder if the genesis of this behavior sits at the register file, or further away. BX/BH-BL is the only register capable of being used for indexable operations that is also 8-bit addressable.

There is an indirect benefit to plastic bans. Countries that are the real sources of ocean plastic pollution see them, and hopefully copy them.
The idea of watching ads in order to get an education seems like the start of some dystopia nightmare. Seeing kids in school buses emblazoned with McDonalds ads is bad enough.

Can you imagine wanting to check your answers to the work you just did and having to watch a commercial to do that. Probably reach a point where they'll require camera access to track your eyes to make sure you're paying attention.
Tear Down This Statue
OOC: I'm not familiar with SPACs and reorgs/realigns. I have experience with PE in acquisitions within professional sales. But do you have any insight into how these work top-down with leadership vs. IPO/PE acquisitions? Is there much difference in the usual 2 EOQ expectation for turnaround results?
> I am very hesitant to use this when a drug can be prescribed (with knowing bad side effects) can be applied. It can seriously mess someone's life up.

This is why it's so important to understand that psychiatric treatment must be a collaborative process. The prescribing physician is only making decisions with the consent of the patient, because the patient is the one who has to choose to actually take the medication anyway.

Those decisions are made based on the patient's description of their experience of the disease. A medication can only push you in a certain direction, and when trying to find the right direction, all the clinician has to go by is what the patient says they're experiencing.

If your psychiatrist is simply telling you what your problems are, and prescribing you medications without your say in anything, then what you are receiving is not treatment. And it will, as you say, seriously mess [your] life up.
It is not clear what game Sallust is playing in his _Cataline's Conspiracy_ here. Is Caesar wisely warning against norm-breaking? Is Caesar trying to cut Cataline & co. a break? Or is Caesar warning Cicero of what he Caesar, will do in -49, and what his adopted son Octavian will do to Cicero in -43?

There may be many layers of irony here...
Selecting the Right Industrial 3D Printer
To be totally frank, the Mormons in SLC would probably view me as a corrupted, effete coastal leftist/liberal. And I would similarly have a real culture fit problem joining a company there. I'm not even remotely going to consider relocating to a place like Boise or Salt Lake City for a number of political and religious reasons. I know a number of people in the Pacific Northwest who feel similarly.
The iOS-can’t-scroll bug was killing me for about 5 months, they finally fixed recently. It’s free software and all but...oof.
Before covid-19, pretty frequently. For instance, I once noticed that the end of my shoelace broke off. If you want to prevent continued fraying, you can use a lighter to melt the end of the lace. Besides that it's a well-designed, classic looking, functional tool that I enjoy handling.

I live in New York, where smoking is more common, and I've found an abundance of social situations that become available when a stranger needs a light.
> I think I would have under-estimated

Keep in mind, the prompt specified that it was the biggest thing since bitcoin and had disruptive potential. Given that you wouldn't write that it sucks.

It also did underestimate its own performance:

> ... nor do its predicted replies tend to be relevant or even grammatically correct. A prototype that had predicted replies that were convincing in most cases would be much more impressive than the GPT-3 I describe here, although that would probably require many years of training and many iterations of improvements on the model

It essentially adopts a common convention for hype articles: A pile of breathless exaggerated hype and then a brief conclusion that suggests that the approach hardly works at the current time, at least if you're reading between the lines. :)

I think it's more surprising that it didn't stray further into fantasy. I'd be interested in seeing the author's rejected samples.
Ryanair is fairly unusual.
It's not a 'narrative', he literally is bad, and he definitely is exacerbating a physician shortage.

By "there would be a relief", I presume you mean "they would have created a relief sculpture", rather than "they would have felt emotional relief". As written the sentence is ambiguous, and right at the point where you pivot from evidence supporting the slave escape narrative to evidence contradicting the slave escape narrative, so I can't be certain my reading is correct despite it fitting much better with the following sentence.
> like a lot of autoimmune diseases.

I worked for some years in a lab testing for auto-immune conditions - we called it that - a condition. I suppose other labs might have labelled it otherwise.

Would you call cancer a disease? I wouldn't.

But I suppose this is just arguing over semantics.

A PWA app to view all EXIF data of your .jpeg or even .heic files
The decision I most regret was moving to a city without many tech jobs (Philadelphia). The difference in number of available jobs, salaries, working conditions, and even the intelligence of coworkers is kind of mind-blowing, now that I've moved back to a city with a lot of tech jobs (Seattle). The cost of living is higher here, but it's worth it.
Totally depends on the users, there is no simple yes or no. Also depends on branding, marketing, customera, monetization strategy, and more

I've worked with companies who have gone to far in either direction. It's really more involved than an online forum can provide to answer your question.

Watch the interview between JJ and Sid (from GitLab), Sid goes through a lot of their learnings, very elucidating.
Sure, during his time at Quillette, he regularly posted the full names of left-wing protestors after being told not to by the individuals. He was caught on video hanging out with a right wing group associated with AtomWaffen planning to commit violence at a local bar. He wasn't reporting at the time, and only started when an anti-facist group showed up.

This title should be updated. I clicked because I interpreted it as I could make $3k by getting the coronavirus and then traveling to Uzbekistan, like a government-funded covid party.
Problem was I lost interest half way because it lost my interest after the 2nd paragraph. For those that say it was good till the last few is really pretending to understand what it said. It really did not made much sense.
How does one build a GPT-3 instance on a home workstation?
I think my favorite use of GPT-3 so far has to be the artificially created variations on the famous Navy Seals copypasta. It's remarkably true to form and style.
They're a both a weird thing and a status symbol, because once you pay enough, they're actually really comfortable. I've got a tailored suit which is amazing to wear and not restrictive. Will most people get that experience? No :( It would be better if we used something that can be better quality on a budget.

But at least I can have fun with them.. "buttons you're not supposed to use" is basically an old meme. Button them up if you like and tell people that's the current style. See how many can you convert. That's all it is really. Or wear fun colour suits. There are options if you can afford the game.
This is an interesting thought. GPT-3 used 45TB of raw CommonCrawl data (which was filtered down to 570GB prior to training). The Internet Archive has 48PB of raw data.

We knew what scarlet fever looked like & could do for at least two thousand years before the creation of germ theory.
This is a subtle fallacy of equivocation. Payment incurred after a loss is not the same thing as worth. Human life is invaluable, but that doesn't mean we can pay infinite money for restitution. Even if we could, monetary (quantitative) compensation could never replace the qualitative value life has to you, your loves ones, etc.
For 2 - we would already have the time infra spun up via something like terraform. So we’d need to “adopt” the VPC/subnets from copilot. The actual connection details would be stored as env vars, but would need a “on create” hook to create the database for the environment.
At what point do you consider a company founded? At the moment the business is registered by the local government?
Yup.

I bought a 75” 4K TV with HDR for $750 recently. I paid that much for my first 15” LCD computer monitor.

What about patients who present a serious risk of harm to themselves and others? Should they be medicated without consent? Sometimes the only other option is indefinite confinement in a mental facility.
I did not guess that it was fake but skipped to the bottom because the article did not seem to be worth reading. It felt like the author was not moving anywhere with their words. I laughed out loud at the reveal that it was written programmatically.
I'm not a very good test case. I briefly skimmed (not expecting very much from a Bitcoin-themed article), read the end, and only then read more carefully. So my first read was brief and biased, and my second was very biased.

That said, the content of the computer-generated parts doesn't make much sense even for a Bitcoin-influenced article (what would be the point of paraphrasing your previous post in a forum on a regular basis, and how does this not get one very quickly banned?), but the grammar is far far better than previous attempts - it reads like Simple English wiki.
How do you know that they're bitcoiners and not someone training their own bot? :)
>That being the case, Chomsky should have assumed from the beginning that reports that Cambodia was brutal were probably accurate, and I assume he didn't because he has some mistaken ideological beliefs

From Chomsky's viewpoint, the drop in population had two likely causes. Cambodian atrocities, or the lingering effect from the known US atrocities/possibly still ongoing ones. When the only reports pinning it on Cambodia comes through refugee statements made to the US, Chomsky thought independent verification was necessary.

As for the rest of your post, I've made myself clear that I'm not a proponent of Leninism. That said, Marxism-Leninism never had the strong or lasting influence you claim. It was used to foster the revolution, and then pulled out for various political uses.

Any violence inherent in the ideology is shared by most revolutionary creeds. During the nineteenth century, it was assumed that any "liberal" revolution would also inevitably turn brutal as well.

And as for wanting the "left" to explain Marxism-Leninism, most of the left experience the same twelve years of propaganda on the subject as the right. I don't see this drastic difference between the sides.
As far as I understand, this kind of thinking is especially visual with Diabetes.

People have different levels of insulin sensitivity, which changes over time with thing such as diet and excercise.

Then magically one day you cross some arbitrary barrier, and you have type 2 diabetes. Crazy.

Only recently has this even been taken under scrutiny, and the phrase "pre diabetic" is used more. But it's clearly not enough.

I think the key to unlocking this is getting more people into measuring their insulin sensitivity through products like Veri[1]

> Where I worked in 2008, I noticed a lot of the Baby Boomer crowd taking a bath on their retirement funds due to, well, 2008.

How did they take a bath on their retirement funds? Did they sell everything at its lows for some reason and ignore all advice about how to save for retirement?

We’ve had 10%+ returns for a decade now, they should be fine assuming they had adequate savings before 2008.

I suspect most people never had adequate savings to begin with, and 2008 didn’t have anything to do with their problem, which is they simply never saved or earned enough money to retire at the quality of life they expect.
> I'm sure it can be influenced easily.

Maybe. Right now this reads like a glorified shopping list. It's coherent, but actually sounding human also requires a theory of mind.

E.g. I explain here why it's possible for written statements to be objectively insightful, informative, interesting, or funny, but objectively in a way that's relational to other information or beliefs. The implication being that statements are only going to seem subjectively funny or insightful (or whatever) to others who have that knowledge or those beliefs, which means that you can't reliably create those subjective experiences in a reader without having some sort of theory of mind for them.

I guess you can create content that's funny or insightful relative to that content itself, but that's not especially useful. It's entertaining at the time, but the experience is more like seeing a movie that you laugh a lot during but then leave and are kind of like what was the point? It's an empty experience because it wasn't transformative.

I definitely don't think it's impossible, but I also don't think it's a matter of just adding a couple more if-else statements.

The Manufacture of Steel Balls (1914)
I like how it's really only one kind of cookie, but you can dial up/down various facets of what it means to be a cookie, resulting in completely different treats.

One would probably learn a lot about cookie baking by dialing up variations and trying them each out.

BTW: you get really fun results when trying to make 1 cookie. I'm not sure I have a teaspoon small enough for that.
Literally flight attendants exist to help with the safety of passengers in any sort of abnormal situation. That they serve beverages is just kind of the thing they do when there's not a critical safety function.

It reads diffusive, unfocused and meandering, like a really bad writer who knows how to spell well and form proper sentences.

All these AI generated systems have the same smell so far - from the ones that create art, music, literature - a convincing imitation of a lousy practitioner.

This is fine for the background ... suspenseful music for a television show for instance or some descriptive balls-and-strikes style journalism (traffic, weather, stock market, sports scores) but these things are still a giant distance away from anyone saying "wow, that's brilliant writing".

15 years ago I think you'd have something like:

"Shares of XX rose 15% today in heavy trading"

while these days it would be:

"Following the news of the acquisition of YY, analysts revised the EPS estimates for Q4 for XX, which led to heavy trading leading to a 15% rise in the stock."

> shipping on five year old containers that everyone is afraid to update and no one remembers how to build them.

That's bad. This is not the way to do it. And honestly, this isn't the fault of Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher, or any tech. Sounds like the org is broken...
Asterisk. I meant in the long term. In the very short term, hospital can be an option, but asylums no longer exist in first-world nations.

Our treatment systems simply do not currently have an effective long-term way of handling patients that outright refuse to take their medication.

In practical terms, these days most people in that situation end up in prisons instead.

Well, the answer seems to be "back to the streets", since the guy in the video everyone seems to have seen was released without charges...
I think a large part of the problem lies in the difficulty of accurate diagnosis, coupled with people's personal experiences with misdiagnosis.

I've been misdiagnosed as bipolar in the past, and the medication regime I was put on lead to schizoid delusions and incredibly unstable emotional state that only resolved once I stopped taking the medication (under the monitoring of the psychiatrist who initially prescribed them).

My mother was also misdiagnosed as bipolar, leading to her actual condition of Borderline Personality Disorder going untreated until she attempted suicide (she died 6 months after because of complications relating to the attempt).

A friend of mine who is schizophrenic was also misdiagnosed as bipolar, because his delusions and paranoia were fairly minimal. In his case, the misdiagnosis was probably more helpful than not, as the medications were helpful in stabilising his mood.

My point here isn't that the medical establishment is bad or that doctors are stupid. It's that disorders related to mental illness are very, very difficult to diagnose and treat, even for incredibly intelligent trained professionals. Many disorders have significant overlap with other disorders. An effect whose impact is only made worse by the fact that a bunch of these disorders are highly co-morbid. Mix in the fact that the borders between healthy and unhealthy are not especially well defined, and it's easy to see where a lot of the contention comes from
Will check it out. Thank you!
In some ways, mid-winter Kabul reminds me a lot of Blade Runner. It's 9:30 pm, pitch black outside, the air is choking with dust and smog from people burning literally everything possible to stay warm. Visibility is less than a city block. You're rolling through an area with some neon lit wedding halls and suddenly there's a giant lit up billboard with 4G LTE mobile phone advertising on it next to a dozen artificial plastic fuschia/green/blue neon lit palm tree in front of a banquet hall. You drive onwards, your colleague in the passenger seat clutching their rifle between their legs, barrel resting on the floor.

Once a stock has at least 2,000 acredited shareholders or 500 unacredited shareholders (was 500 shareholders without regard to acreditation before the 2012 Jobs Act), SEC disclosure requirements apply the same as if had IPOd. Allowing/encouraging trading of the stock is going accelerate the time that that happens. Facebook aproaching the shareholder limit was one of the things that pushed them to IPO --- might as well raise some money if you have to prepare all the disclosures and follow all the accounting rules, anyway.
If you can't rebuild the docker containers... I think you're doing things wrong...

I always start from an official container base from a reputable source (Debian, Apache, nginx, Alpine)... Or I branch off one of my creations that is based on these... If I want to use someone else's work from an untrusted source, I make my own image and build pipeline for it so I'm in control.

This is my philosophy... I don't have any containers I'm afraid to rebuild... But I don't use kubernetes or rancher, just raw docker, docker compose, and ansible/terraform
My numbering was off. 4th is time. 5th adds the direction going between one universe and a variation of it, both at the same point on the time axis. I also notice in my example I start with zero dimensions. All in all, a reminder that I should exercise more self-restraint and not comment on Physics articles :D

> They use some fairly strident language to describe what it is they are not talking about. I was just curious what that was, and why.

Have a look at what happened more than a decade ago when a paper came out showing no genetic distinction between Palestinians and Jews. Any discussion of nationalities in the Middle East is a political minefield.

Also, ever since The History Channel became the Aliens and Nazis Channel, the authors are probably afraid of being very badly misquoted in some Exodus documentary. The strident language makes it nearly impossible to cherry-pick a quote for a documentary without it sounding like complete gibberish.
US airlines have largely consolidated over the last decades and new airplanes don't require as much staff as before (basically cramming an airliner full with cheap seats instead of more staff-intensive premium offerings) which means there were layoff series.
This is so true. I had a high regard for HN comments till quite recently.
