You nailed it.

This is a reported piece, so the description could be completely off the mark. But the quote from the neuroscientist is

> “What it tells me,” says Christof Koch, a neuroscientist at the Allen Institute who specializes in consciousness, “is that … you can get dissociation between cognition and consciousness.”

which is a wild overintepreretation.

Gerstmann syndrome is the same kind of deficit where you have preserved consciousness and severe impairments in one very specific cognitive domain. Aphasia is a more common version of a focal neurological deficit which is equally analogous.

This whole article is just pop science nonsense (although it's entirely possible the underlying research has merit; it's not easy to tell based on an article about it).
> The system is so fast that the notifications arrive to areas beyond the epicenter before the seismic waves themselves, giving people and devices precious seconds to prepare

TBF, even Twitter is a "notification system fast enough to arrive in areas before the seismic wave". There's been numerous reports of twitter users seeing tweets about an earthquake before experiencing the shock wave.

Building a system that can do that reliably is an engineering feat but we're talking on the order of 10s of seconds, not milliseconds.
It's free grid internet or what?
Back in the 70s spy satellites used film cameras and used to return the film in re-entry capsules. There’s a _really_ good (fictional) move called Ice Station Zebra about a retrieval mission in the arctic that goes wrong.

Retrieving the satellite allows you to safely recover the film, and re-equip the satellite with new film and propellant. The latter is important because it’s useful for spy satellites to be able to change their orbits frequently to observe new targets or evade tracking.

Also bear in mind some spy satellites are huge and incredibly costly. The Hubble Space Telescope is based on a spy satellite series.
Approximately everyone goes to the non-free Debian installers, and upgrades to the "unstable" version immediately for anything they care about having current. I have not encountered anything supported in Ubuntu but not in Debian unstable. Ubuntu stuff mostly comes from Debian unstable, but with added weird.
Through wall designs, like you see in cheap motels, require an opening in the wall.

Mini-spits have an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected by two hoses. The indoor unit basically screws to the wall. You do need a hole through the wall for the hoses but that's it. As a result they are cheap to and quick to install. They are also very efficient.
Well, to accept the “tech is racist” narrative you would need to do the mental gymnastics required to believe that Jews, South Asians and East Asians are all white. Similar to the mental contortions that Harvard uses to justify its racist admissions policies.
> Even if those people are calling for a coup d'etat to change the democracy into a dictatorship and place this leader at the top?

If they are calling for violence, I support govt censorship only of the violent speech and only if each case is considered individually.
The other thread we had about this stated that arbitrary math is possible, but slow as heck (40 times slower or so). You can either tell it to operate on two encrypted items ("multiply value 2 and 4 from the data") or give either operand as-is ("add 5 to value 3 in the data").

So general-purpose, apparently. Just slow.
Do you use Terraform? I'm just wondering because I interact with AWS 90% (possibly more) via Terraform. I rarely use the AWS Console and have never looked at Cloudformation or eksctl. I wonder if that's gonna make the certification more difficult for me...
Neither did I said that, rather that WebSphere does provide the tooling to create such sandboxes, provided one goes through the effort to create the application architecture in a way that those features at put it use.

It doesn't do magic if the users don't bother to use the tools put at their disposal.

This isn't sandboxing at click of button.
Hot topic, but your comment has some good points I'll try to add my experience to.

> I'm for removing barriers to anyone being able to be interested, educated, and encouraged to do the things they want to do. And we should work to make it easier for people to be identified as having skills and talent in whatever field they choose.

From my POV, as a white male, this relates to a misconception of what many "diversity" programs actually aim for: pushing underprivileged and disadvantaged people into positions from where they have better chances to even come in contact with their true interests and talents. The same goes for role modelling, which is not to be underestimated in the context of "do the things they want to do". If you are black or female, but 90% of an "industry" (whatever that is, just take a group of people representing the part of society which does $thing) is white and male, could you see yourself in this industry? I know this is an extremely controversial question, especially in discussions between white males. But from what I learned from underrepresented people during the years is that role models and identification plays a HUGE part in "making a free choice".

> Every field and industry and job will reflect the demographics of who is interested in doing that job, the pipeline of people who seek to become educated and qualified for it, and the proportions of who succeeds at showing their skills.

I would not follow this as straight as you have. The demographics in tech (and other fields, of course) could also show that once a majority is settled (here: white male), they tend to attract and recruit people who are like-minded and similar to themselves.

Example US: "Among chief executives of S.&P. 1500 firms, for each woman, there are four men named John, Robert, William or James", https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/03/upshot/fewer-women-run-bi...

Example DE: "The surnames Thomas and Andreas make up a share of 7%, more than the total shares of women", https://www.manager-magazin.de/politik/artikel/weniger-fraue...

I know what you mean, and for a long time I was in the same boat, looking for barriers like money and availability of time that might block minorities from entering higher education and the higher workforce. But the problems are of structural nature and they can only be solved by acknowledging that the main barriers are not forms, interest and intelligence, but identification, perspective and connections.
If you bought stock in these companies and didn't sell out at any time, do you really think you're competing with traders?
I started with my eyes closed and heard nothing but noise. With eyes open I caught a glimpse of the brainstorm label and started to hear that and only that. No green needle, as much as I tried to make it flip, it did not.
Reminds me of an interesting thing I noticed, a few times the compiler has been able to make a tighter inner loop simply by adding an `assert!` on the array length before the loop. I guess the compiler considers the specific error message that will be printed to be a side effect, so the assert moves that check to before the loop instead of at some point during the loop.

I bought a segway mini years ago, only to find out you had to download an app before you could ride it.

Same with with a DJI mavic quadcopter.. you could not just turn it on and fly it with the included RC remote controller - it would just say "see app" or some nonsense.

both got sent back. Seemed a little silly at the moment (I just got this cool new thing -- cave.. cave..) but I'm way better off.

(turns out the mavic sends details of EVERYTHING to lots of sites willy-nilly)
Naturally it’s not necessarily representative of the country as a whole, but isn’t Berlin famous for having dog poop on every street?

A company run by the same guy as Dangerous Things is Vivokey, who are hoping to have (among other things) payment capabilities supported by Visa/Mastercard on on upcoming implant, the Apex. That should allow them to be updated with new details so they won't expire permanently: https://www.vivokey.com/apex

I have a beta version that can do crypto operations such as PGP decrypting/signing and generating OTP entirely on the implant.
I have one of those Tacx trainers where you just put your bike in. It's a hassle. You need to use their own quick release to hold the bike in place. The cord with the gear shifter (which sets the resistance) is always somewhere where it's annoying the rider and the shifting control itself doesn't fit on all handle bars. It's also really noisy.

I have been tempted very often to just buy one of these ready to use training bikes because of the frustration of: put some yoga mat cut-outs underneath the Tacx to suppress the vibration of the spinning weight, get the bike from the cellar, exchange the quick release, store the old one somewhere where it's not getting lost, put the bike in place by its rear wheel, place the front wheel in a fixed position, get a fan to put in front of the bike trainer, mount the gear shifter, which clumsily hangs on the handle bar because my handle bar is too big. (It's a standard road bike handlebar)

Did I mention this thing was really loud?

I'm also sometimes worried about the fixed pressure on my carbon frame but I think that's actually unreasonable.
That he could identity people, without being aware of it.

Basically, if there were faces inside a number, the EEG showed that his brain recognized the faces, but he did not know there were faces, instead he couldn't understand what he was seeing.

So the hypothesis conclusion from this is, recognizing someone's face happens separately from consciousness.

Basically, the experiment appears to show that your brain can recognize faces, without letting your conscience know about it. So you can't tell the face is there, but other part of your brain can.
> When I buy a car, I do not leave a 1 star review stating "This car is not a motorcycle; extremely disappointed."

That's a bad analogy. A better one would be it's like you bought a car, (an open-source operating system) and this one accessory supplier is selling you what are really motorcycle parts, but just about fit the car barely, (a less-than-great proprietary driver when you explicitly are on an open system).
Additionally, they are extremely secretive and absolutely refuse to answer any sort of questions or allow you to modify the parts you purchased from them to fit better by implementing various forms of DRM.

You can just not buy those parts and indeed that's what many users are doing.

This is separate from raising concerns about this somewhat dodgy parts manufacturer potentially acquiring another manufacturer, specifically one that does require a lot of cooperation with others by its very nature.

> Nvidia is very clear that they only support their proprietary driver, and they deliver on that.

It's more complex than that. They seem to actively implement features to make it purposely more difficult to develop an independent open-source driver. This is rather different than just being passively indifferent to open-source. Moreover their proprietary driver can be less than seller too, so am not so sure they "deliver" even on that.

Therefore we, Linux users, can refuse to support a company that only supports their (lacking) proprietary driver and certainly we are within our rights to raise concerns about its purchase of ARM given its actively hostile approach to open-source.
I know, I love it. It's there, but it's so bad that it's not keeping me from the eBooks for any appreciable amount of time, the actual intent behind the device.
The people who view it would like to think that. But one can certainly make the case that it's not mentally healthy, and as such is indeed symptomatic of mental illness.

I replied to "...it cannot establish a causation. To do that you need random assignment at the very least."
That means, IMHO, that you can't only distribute generated Assembly code instead of your original C or whatever. Because while technically "source code" (not a binary!), it is not the form in which development actually takes place.
I use a couple of music stands to set optimal angle and height for my laptop and keyboard, but this is a good idea. Should be able to make it :)

The fabric shade would be trickier to make. I use a small pop up tent though. It unfolds by throwing into air and keeps mosquitoes out. :)
> The public are acutely aware of the predicament that governments have created

What predicament? The gov't didn't create covid.

> especially if a regulator says 'sure its totally safe'

To my knowledge (and I did work in this area) no regulator will ever declare a drug 'totally safe'.

> most will be very skeptical of a vaccine that's been rushed through like this

Yeah well, you're speaking for a rather large population whose minds you don't know so please don't. Also covid is dangerous so people may be skeptical but still take it.
I'm getting an increasingly bad taste from rust. In spite of the hype 9 out of 10 rust programs I download end up with a panic in my first 10 minutes of using them.

Javascript is a memory safe language yet there is plenty of broken code written it it.

Memory safety is a critical step forward but its wasted if it's paired with an ecosystem that thinks memory safety means that software doesn't need to be correct or is so fixated on reimplementing things for "memory safety" that understanding the problem domain and actually making things that work falls by the wayside.
Got one of them as well and I don’t think I ever used the keyboard.
It's also on Android.
This custom job is for the true early adopters, who accept that eventuality. There are implants that already have the capability to be updated with new payment details, but it requires the cooperation of the payment card industry to initially provision them under their supervision.
If he's using such a training bike with the intent of using a service such as Zwift, I'd expect the author to already have a decent road bike and that the training bike is more of bad weather, winter and easy access to fitness workouts without having to deal with traffic.

But even if he doesn't have a bike yet, he most likely would ride a road bike and you don't that for bucks.

I agree though, riding bikes is extremely underrated, no matter where you live.

The prototype design of Kindle has an eeirly Star Trek feel to it:

In particular, the shape and labels of those buttons on the sides make it look like LCARS interface with physical parts.
Kobo hardware was/is really good, I bought Kindles for my mum (the amazon store experience is easier for her) and Kobo's for myself and the Auro One was a fabulous piece of hardware.
I believe that's the intent of the clause. It's pretty clever.
Maybe a tablet maker will one day add a second, e-ink screen to the back of the tablet and run the Kindle app on it.
> you can't sell your product if you don't have any competition

What he meant was that competitors indicate there's a market.

It's unlikely that he meant that having competitors for competitors sake was useful in itself.

An interesting example is Airbnb vs. the existing "legit" homestay sharing companies.

The older companies proved there was a market, but Airbnb grew quickly without the older competitors being top of mind. And in fact, Airbnb actually illegally competed with hotels, not sharing homestays.
Perhaps it’s “done”. Overdoing products is a massive problem these days.
> Land mass, like capital accumulation, is a zero-sum game.

False.

Mountain top can help reclaim land from sea without disappearing the mountain.

Capital accumulation isn't a zero sum game. Who did Robinson Crusoe steal from?
That's called blindsight.

In the published article they say that there is no evidence of blindsight. There is whole paragraph named: "No Evidence of Implicit Knowledge Found with Discrimination Tasks."

How the pandemic has clogged the global economy with paper currency
If that was the first-gen device, sure. But in comparison to older models, Kindle keeps regressing UX-wise. Before my Paperwhite, I owned the old keyboard version with no touchscreen, and it was much more useful as a device - it was easier to take notes, and it even made sense to use the built-in browser.

(Not that touchscreens are bad per se, but the responsiveness of the screens/whole OS on Paperwhite is bad.)
There is actually competition to the Kindle, although you often wouldn't know it, reading "mainstream" US-centric forums such as HN.

Kobo offers a complete ecosystem similar to the Kindle, with bookstore, devices and syncing. There are a number of regional players as well in this space.

Then, of course, there are all the device makers that simply expect you to bring your own content.
At least in the company I work for, the understanding is that we have to make available the source code that corresponds to0 the binaries that we are distributing.

So, if I am distributing Linux 2.0.12, I have to also make the source code of Linux 2.0.12 available to my customers. The sources for Linux 5 (or Linux 2.0.13) are not useful.
I liked the keyboard kindle, it was the best. Touch really sucks and it's makes one constantly anxious of not touching the wrong spot on the screen. Having dedicated buttons for actions makes it more predictable

How small are your hands? Thumb on one side, pinky/ring on the other.
Yes, there's definitely a bit of survivorship bias going on here. The lesson isn't to compete with yourself, or ignore all of your advisors, or trying to pivot your business model after a crash etc etc. There are plenty of businesses who have failed doing all these things. I suspect that Jeff Bezos had a vision, and these are more side effects rather than the reason for its success.

Google would only require 2 things. If a site has a paywallz and if the user whitelisted it. I have black listed most paywall sites manually on my Google feed. So they are obviously capable and already doing the latter.

On March 1 2009, the S&P500 was $773.

On January 1 1997, the S&P500 was $773.

During the same time, bonds sold off too. Everything did.

If you were dollar cost averaging into the market for 12 years, you could find yourself below where you started. That's a pretty demoralizing situation.

I think being aware of market conditions and reallocating as you see fit is just part of being a responsible adult. Maybe sometimes you do want to hold VTI, but also it's not unreasonable to bet on Elon.

I'm not saying everyone has to be highly leveraged and aggressive, but I think you're putting a tremendous amount of faith in the markets and intentionally looking the other way.
> That raises a huge red flag in my mind over its safety.

The Childhood Immunization Act of 1986 indemnifies all vaccine makers in the United States and requires a $0.75 Federal Excise Tax per dose that the government uses to indemnify vaccine manufacturers. Also, any such lawsuits can only be filed in The US Court of Federal Claims, an administrative court. No features of common litigation like discovery, expert witnesses, etc.
The idea that those professions are lower-paid because they are mostly female is pretty strange. It would require a vast and secret conspiracy. The scandal would dwarf the secret Silicon Valley agreement (involving Apple, Google, Adobe, Intel) by many orders of magnitude.

You can make a reasonable argument that the causation goes the other way, with men giving higher priority to money when choosing a career. This makes sense, because a male's career has a huge impact on dating success.
But we don't live in that world. Someone that name drops their company name is more credible that some random blogger that works at a hardware store
Exactly this. This also explains why most modern software has so atrocious UX, and why companies can get away producing hardware that can barely lift its own software. It's because non-tech-savvy consumers don't have a point of reference and a mental model to express what's wrong, and also don't have a choice other than to suck it up, or not have a device at all.
Interesting how in the middle of the 80's they were still talking about malls as something novel :)

Malls made town centers decay, sometimes even disappear. Towns definitely lost their uniqueness as pretty much every mall is the same.

I love the internet and how it allows anyone to do almost anything without leaving home... but at the same time, I hope that spaces where people go to physically interact do not ever disappear (at least while we're confined to a physical, biological body, that is).

Having some competition is awesome, even if they are more advanced.

They will help to build awareness of the need, and some users will not like their approach - possibly liking your more.

Keep going! :D
I think the FOSS community cares a lot about the freedom of the end-user, not so much about the freedom of original creators. That is, the freedom of everyone to become a creator, not the freedom of one particular creator to control their creation or profit from it in some way. This applies both to the GPL camp, which cares about the end-user of the binary; as well as the BSD/MIT camp, which cares about the end-user of the source.

Hence, their dislike of any kind of licenses which impose restrictions on consumers of the code/binary.

I'm not saying I agree, just presenting what I believe is the thinking behind this kind of policing.
To be fair in terms of the cyberpunk future this is one of the problems built into the setting in fiction. Upgrades, firmware versions and planned obsolescence.
