Uk CS PhD: spend one year figuring out what you are doing, 1/1.5 years doing research. 1 year writing up. Thats the summary I've gotten from several faculty.

On top of that, you have to go do a few postdocs if you want to do academia.(maybe a good thing, but not necessary in hot areas in the US for PhDs from highly ranked schools)

There's a reason the UK is trying to go over to centers for doctoral training and 5 year PhDs. Yes, in those and the US system, you spend 2 years taking classes. But in that time you are also getting spun up and then doing research.
I used to as well, but my mail just has too much junk in it for it to feel like a workspace.

Seeing ads just makes it feel icky to me, or a random newsletter, and the spam folder that builds forever and sometimes leaks into my inbox (which always makes it feel like I’ve been infiltrated in some way).

Rally.video | Engineering Positions | Toronto, CA | Remote | Full Time

Video calls are generally very exhausting. After being on a 20 person Zoom call, we decided to build Rally. Rally is a video application that makes it easy to hop between breakout conversations. Users can see and hear other conversations around them, as if they were in a shared space.

Rally feels like a real party or gathering, as opposed to feeling like a meeting. Instead of being stuck in a giant gallery view or siloed into breakout rooms, you are free to switch between tables and rooms as you like. Instead of everyone being on mute, you can choose to vibe off of the audible laughter and chatter from neighbouring tables in the room. You can also create private tables for more personal conversations and take the stage to present to everyone around you.

We launched on HN as part of YC’s newest cohort, and have been focused on organizations using us for happy hours, networking, virtual cafeteria’s and more. Our vision for Rally is to be the one solution where online interactions are more social. This could mean sidebar conversations during a presentation, matching you to the perfect person to network with, or just having a virtual cafeteria for serendipitous conversations.

We hare recruiting for two main engineering roles, and would be interested in speaking to people who would like to be operations interns. See our roles here:

I spend about a hundred a month on OnlyFans. There are some performers I really enjoy and I’m glad to support their work.

I’ve been single for ten years after an engagement ended in her attempted suicide. OnlyFans is a controlled, safe form of sexual interaction for me that doesn’t risk a relationship going horribly wrong again.

I also pay a cuddlist to cuddle with me twice a month.

Also, OnlyFans seems like a more ethical way to consume porn than going through a tube site where you don’t know if the upload was consensual or if it was produced by an exploitative studio or whatever.

I make more than enough to cover my living expenses, be debt free and still save half my income. This is a small discretionary expense for me.

Few aircraft have "receive only" radios, most have full Transceivers.

For redundancy they have multiple Transceivers, and most military radios cover both VHF and UHF.

For safety and redundancy the pilots can receive and transmit on any of their multiple radios just by (selecting the appropriate frequency) and pressing the appropriate Receive/Transmit selector buttons.

Many military aircraft also have secure (spread-spectrum) transceivers as separate units.

Many aircraft that fly over water also have VHF Marine radios fitted.

As an example of the kinds of things that AI does when you don't know what you're doing: classifying black people as criminals because your law enforcement system polices black neighbourhoods more heavily, is more likely to arrest black people and is more likely to convict black people, and all your training data came from sampling populations in jails.

This is an important argument that people miss. Cost increases in health care for government systems are managed at the government level, not at the level of individual companies. That's a pretty desirable situation for companies. Not only do companies make targets of themselves when they downgrade coverage, but the overall compensation is also less transparent to the worker when insurance is tied to the workplace. You get rid of all that stuff in a single payer system.

> Except that a VM hasn't lived through any events in its life (since it's not alive and doesn't experience anything anyway),

It has certainly processed events during its lifetime and accumulated data about them (~= experience that a person might get from living through events). There wouldn't be ethical issues with destroying it, but there would be the downside of losing that data; however, migrating it doesn't have that problem.

> The person to whom it would arguably matter most is the person getting destroyed or killed. What comfort is it to them that some clone of their lives on?

Personally I would have no problem with myself or anybody I know going through such a process. Partly because I would consider the result the same person, but partly because I think more broadly that the difference between "I live on" and "a clone of me lives on" is unimportant.

For example, suppose I went through a teleporter but due to some mishap the body at the sending end were not destroyed, so there were two copies of me. If this happened and were detected immediately, both copies of me would freely volunteer to kill themselves in favor of keeping the other one. From my perspective (as either of the copies), the only thing lost would be the memories I made since teleporting, but losing a few minutes' worth of memories is not a big deal and something that happens all the time. Beyond that, the other copy is still "me", so there's nothing to offend my desire for self-preservation. If on the other hand the situation lasted much longer before being detected, so I gained more unique memories, or if it was only a few minutes but I just happened to have some kind of eureka moment in that time, I might be more ambivalent.

Ideally there would be some way to merge the memories of the two copies into one person. In that case, I would be interested in intentionally making short-term forks of myself on a regular basis, to be merged later (say, after a few hours), so that I could effectively do multiple things at the same time.

Sorry, I thought when you said missing piece in your previous message, that you meant the missing piece of what makes monads unique (arguing from a place of knowledge about “no THIS is what makes monads important”), rather than the missing piece of the explanation. Either way, hopefully the posts I wrote and linked are written assuming nothing more than the basic Haskell syntax, so if you’re curious about the rest of the explanation, hopefully it’s clearer there. If it’s not clear there, I’d appreciate any feedback.
> that's why Twitch streamers such as Pokimane and Amouranth have words like "boyfriend" and "husband" banned from their chats

I think it is actually much more likely that they have those things banned, because misogynists individuals, such as yourself, constantly bring that narrative up to attack them over that, and make accusations similar to the ones that you just did.

It is kind of similar to how when a women talks on voice chat in a video game, will get stupid comments about them being a woman on the internet.

Sure, it might not be a big deal when it happens the first couple times, but when it happens every single day of their life, it gets old.

Accusations and harassment, such as what you just did, belongs in a similar category of low level attacks, that don't seem like a big deal in a vacuum, but can actually get pretty annoying when hundreds of harassers message you about it, every single day of your life.
> Also AFAIA the only real difference between Onlyfans and Patreon is that one allows adult content. I am having a hard time understanding why someone would be against one and not the other unless the reason was due to some ingrained prudishness. Is there any difference between the two that I am missing?

Yeah, I guess I should've been more clear.

I don't think that the only difference between the two is that Onlyfans merely "allows adult content." Onlyfans is specifically aimed towards monetizing parasocial behavior (why you buy private messaging rights[1], etc.). Patreon is a way meant to support creators. I sub on Patreon to several creators, but there was no parasocial element: I didn't pretend to be someone's friend and no one sold me on that.

Yes, but the primary identifier is IP address. The detailed profiles built with fingerprinting and other data are attached to the small set of IP addresses a person uses over the course of her lifetime. Most internet users have limited choice when it comes to internet access. A user cannot change her IP address with the same ease as she can change her software fingerprints. If a company is trying to sell online ad services, then having a database of browser fingerprints purportedly representing real people is not very valuable unless the company can link those fingerprints to real physical locations.
It seems to me the appeal of the expensive colleges is at least partly that you get to hang out with other rich kids, making connections that can benefit you later financially.

It's like Donald Trump's golf-club you pay lot mostly for the chance of being part of the club
Yep, the same thing happens in both public and private sectors. As a company gets older and bigger, there's a strong tendency for it to accumulate the kind of semi-parasitic costs you mention, get worse at changing things due to bureaucratic ossification, develop more intricate internal politics, and so on. And then there's simple regression toward the mean: a company that becomes successful due to unusually good luck and leadership will probably not have unusually good luck in the future; on average they will have average luck, which will cause them to go downhill. Entropy reigns eternal!

... And yet, things we buy from private companies tend to get cheaper and better over time. It's weird, isn't it? I think the big difference here is that private companies are not immortal monopolies, but government agencies are. Sears was the Amazon of its day, and gradually became less impressive -- but we weren't screwed, because now Amazon is the Amazon of its day, and in time we'll find out what upstages Amazon. In contrast, the government of New York used to be unusually good at building subways -- but now it can barely maintain what it already has, and people living in NYC are just stuck with it, because there's no realistic mechanism for the department in question to be replaced with a more competent one.

I'm increasingly convinced that solving this category of problem is one of the most important unsolved political questions, and it's tragically under-explored.

>You're really talking about (at best) a new instantiation of the identical consciousness in a new body. That's not the original consciousness moving, that's a new (identical) consciousness coming to life.

This is making a lot of assumptions about how consciousness works. If I make a copy of a book the story doesn't move, but it is now in two places. If I destroy the original book the story isn't lost. I think experience might be more like that. Multiple copies of the same information system will all only have one subjective experience.

Yes if you run two versions they will diverge and the question is much more complicated. But if there is one moment of copy/destruction or you're scanning and then simulating/rebuilding a frozen brain, then there's no point in time where a consciousness doesn't have a future version.
> There are bad apples in every large group.

Stop that. One, "Letting a demonstration be judged by its most violent participants but not judging a police force by its most violent cops is the language of the oppressor."

two, let's recall a Chris Rock joke you can hear in https://twitter.com/Baldilocks__/status/1266055148788494336 for example.

"Bad apple? That’s a lovely name for murderer. That almost sounds nice. I’ve had a bad apple. It was tart, but it didn’t choke me out. Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. I know being a cop is hard. I know that shit’s dangerous. I know it is, okay? But some jobs can’t have bad apples."

"Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like … pilots. Ya know, American Airlines can’t be like, 'Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains. Please bear with us.'"

====

And this is not as much a joke as it sounds -- how many times have we found out the murderers have a long list of past complaints? The problem is the system doesn't exclude the "few bad apples" because it's not a few bad apples, it's a systemic problem.
