> There is this extreme, and I would argue unscientific bias towards treating the mind as something that's recreatable in a digital system probably because it enables this science-fiction speculation and dreams of immortality of people living in the cloud.

I would argue differently: perhaps your point of view that's unscientific (or at least I don't see any scientific path to concluding mind emulation is impossible!).

Say there are complex processes going inside each neuronal cell. It should not be impossible to simulate those as well with arbitrary fidelity.

I think what is practically questionable is mind uploading -- we don't know if reading all this information is feasible, and it should be even more remote that reading it non-destructively would be possible. If it is feasible, then there's the question of cost.

I don't see why with a large enough computer we couldn't emulate a mind (or any other existing system). It is possible a quantum computer may be necessary, but there's still little evidence of entangled processes in the brain (indeed we strongly expect no large-scale entanglement due to high temperatures).

I think it's quite radical, and difficult to understand, the possibility of mind emulation and its impact in our society. The rights of the individuals, all the possibilities like making copies, backups, modifications, pausing a simulation, running an emulated mind faster than real minds, expanding memory, and much more. This goes all completely outside usual human experience (live out your consciousness, with occasional pauses in sleep and sedation, until you die and it stops). I predict it'll take very long until we come to gripes with all consequences of it.

It should be noted almost certainly Agent-AGI (AGI that acts like a person) will come before trying to emulate exactly a human mind. AGI has its own very interesting ethical questions. I think the main point we need to start taking in is that those beings will be conscious like us, thus we need to give them rights, take care with their experience, make sure they aren't exploited (by say simulating many AGI-individuals in terrible conditions). Again there is much outside of human experience, because they will have much more freedom. An AGI doesn't necessarily need to feel pain. Any real system might be able to override pain signals if convenient (something we can't do); but still, if it has motivators, I think it will be able to "suffer" (when things it cares about go bad).

One of the ways we will tackle this questions is through fiction. It's been ongoing, from what I know at least since William Gibson's Neuromancer there have been simulated minds (and robots existed long before, although they are not always treated as equals, or the possibility of different cognitive natures is explored).
Nice, thank you! Yeah that was my point, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, etc. I felt like the rape hypothetical was too hyperbolic to be good faith.

You did a way better job with this than I did, thanks again.
> used car sales are through the roof

There doesn't seem to be data supporting this assertion in the US. Used car sales were slightly up in June 2020 vs. June 2019, but May was flat and April and March were way, way down.

If your random pages are a, b and c but my pages are d, e and f or even a, b and d then it’s still easy to fingerprint us.

Extensions like this might work if they visited the same sites all other users visit. Otherwise you’re just adding even more unique information for the trackers.

I've had two cats die from FIP.

Rather than breathing problems, it expressed itself as a wasting disease. (non-effusive FIP)

The cats (wanted to) ate practically 24/7, their hunger being unable to be satisfied. Terrible diarrhea, leading to liver failure and death over the course of a week from first apparent symptoms.

One of the cats became so jaundiced that her eyes and skin were almost a florescent yellow before her death. The other experienced such radical muscle atrophy in his hinds after just two weeks of symptoms that he became immobile. He shortly after suffered a stroke or similar such anomaly and died a few days after becoming immobile. He still had a voracious appetite -- even after becoming immobile.

It's a brutal and devastating disease for felines. It's also easily transmissible between neighborhood cats.

It's a horrible diagnosis to hear from a vet -- it harbors very little hope for the patient. The only silver lining is the usual quickness of the death. I'm sorry that you and your pets had to go through it.
Now we're talking. I could get a list of prices vs ratings.

I haven't had a "bad" experience, but I've had some better than others.

Does Canada have the same issues with policing that the US has?
>If you could drop your tax rate by 50%, but had to pay back $80-100k for college, would you take it?

Well you answered the question already yourself. In the end, I want to live in clean cities with safe sidewalks, and a responsible and community oriented populace.
My impression from my conversations with police in Ontario is that predictive policing is a force for good. If it's not the fruit of any poison tree, I'm all for it.

But $29M/year I isn’t that much. Especially as they’re located in San Francisco and have about 200 employees (pretty sure not all are there). That gives you $145k per employee. That’s roughly enough to cover salaries, assuming no other cost to run the business.

If a large group happens to have enough issues that it's a constant social debate, and that large group happens to be PAID to be in the group (as opposed to doing something without a reward, or being born into a condition), it's a very different kind of expectation one should be talking about.

Furthermore, if that group is one of the only groups of people supposed to enforce what a society codified as its morals and ethics, there's a strong argument to be made to have a much, much lower threshold for the sample sizes needed to view problematic acts as unacceptable.

Trying to compare countries is an interesting remark.. how about this article, which will give a response to your "bad apples" rhethoric?[0]

The article is about Canada, so I guess if we set our gold standard to the US then everywhere in the world is a dreamland. How about if we compare it to the Netherlands or Norway though? Since arguably a lot of Canadian policies, the political compass, and the culture are at the very least in-between the US and those other developed nations.

Finally, striving for improvements in a system as a proportion of how badly everyone does when the enforcement of moral and social norms is pretty rarely negotiable for the majority of a population, seems to me like we're extending the benefit of the doubt to a privileged subset of a population that hasn't proven a satisfying-enough track record to deserve such gratitude.

This is a privacy nightmare, having a camera you don't control on your glasses.

> Americans expect college campuses to be like resorts

You say that but the typical dorm room offers no privacy or air conditioning, and the showers and bathrooms are shared. They're similar in nature to SROs which the US pretty much abolished anywhere else, but way more expensive.

And then universities have the audacity to demand that students live in them freshman year, even though living off campus would be cheaper.

Japan has a related IRL version[1]. In this case it's mostly lonely women, strangely enough, who go to 'host' clubs where young men feign interest in them, and will give them more time if the jane pays more. At first blush it seems ridiculous, but there you have it. As you point out, these subjects on certain level believe they have a kind of romantic relationship with these young men.

Obviously Japan is also known for hostess clubs where men pay for attention as well as regular old Soapland stuff.

John Carmack has mentioned on Twitter that he spent a lot of time trying to make the frame release rate more consistent even with purpose-built VR hardware. I think game programmers found it easier to go with the gsync/freesync method of doing a vsync whenever the frame is ready instead of trying to hit a deadline.

> most of the time if one assertion fails, rest of the code is useless anyway

You either don't write tests or you're already writing them in the right way (sounds like the later). I've seen my fair share of what I would consider compound tests that have multiple asserts in tests that would crash execution of that test even though 3 lines down in that same test is a completely different bit of state being tested. This is hopefully less of an issue in unit tests but my gosh I've seen it way too much in integration tests.

It can get worse still when one of these initial assertions starts failing, a lazy dev goes in to address the problem, finds that one assertion isn't an issue worth addressing for now, labels the whole test as a KnownIssue and moves on leaving us at risk for the other issues covered in the later asserts to break without warning at a later point in time! (only seen this twice luckily)
Twenty years ago I wondered why WM didn't dedicate a section in their store to computers and put Best Buy out of business.
Or for that matter, any competitor of theirs. Sure, they must have thought about who shops in their stores, but if the prices are good enough, the BMW's will show up. Right?
>Stop demanding a formal degree for jobs, allow anyone who can do the job to do it, and much/some of these problems will go away.

It's a symptom of people needing more jobs than are available - if there's a massive labour shortage these unnecessary requirements will evaporate overnight, and if people stop needing to work to survive these unnecessary requirements will evaporate overnight.

As Groß correctly states in his post, the bug was in how clobberize models that instruction. It’s not that this is a bug in CSE, since this analysis is shared by (many) other passes.

It’s sort of also a bug in the IR design. The fact that opcodes have modes has always caused bugs. It’s too easy to forget about that when modeling.

But that structure - separation of modeling and CSE - is designed to make the whole thing easier to reason about despite the underlying semantics being quite nasty.

It’s weird to say that JSC team clearly wouldn’t try to prove this right by lifting the semantics out or what have you. What makes you say that?

You say that

> The regulations make it clear that the President alone determines 'whether a transaction threatens national security.'

HOWEVER, I maintain that this authority can only be exercised under certain restrictions. For instance, if the President were to declare that all social media companies that "fact check" his statements threatened national security that would be a violation of the first amendment (free speech). As such, the courts would be responsible for overturning his declaration.

Similarly, if the President were to just declare ByteDance to be a threat to national security without even having a reason for doing so, I maintain it would violate the requirement to engage in due process. He doesn't need to have a GOOD reason, but it can't be "because I feel like it" or "because they said mean things about me".

I'm not clear on whether the right to due process is inapplicable because ByteDance voluntarily chose not to undergo the review.
I've experimented with RxDB in a side project of mine, a spaced-repetition web app that is designed to be usable offline, with background sync between clients. The offline-first requirement meant using something like IndexedDB to store state client-side, which is where RxDB comes in.

Overall I like the library. It makes the hard task of interacting with IndexedDB a lot more pleasant. The GraphQL support is also a nice touch. Coupled with something like Hasura, it took me like a day to get sync working.

My one criticism with RxDB specifically is that the documentation around writing queries can be a bit hit-or-miss.
Staying abreast with tech stack is one thing and staying abreast with practices is one thing. Stacks will come and go, all it matters is your fundamentals, skills, practices that you work on day in and out. If that's good then stacks are just a matter of tools. If you keep on changing just for the matter of stacks, then you might be left behind on growing vertically on a particular niche.
[Not op] There are a few reasons, but two big ones are being directly supporting the creator (YT requires you use memberships which are flat-rate and not user-adjustable) and getting perks for pledging (like Discord access, access to pre-release work, etc).
I didn’t specify normal culture, but I would include media portrayals of normal as included in dangerous and would encourage people to find normality through ancient cultural traditions and religions, not media.

Although Puritan culture is certainly not enhanced by media much at all, if anything the exact opposite.

https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Exposure%20Draft%20Bill.... From a quick read, FB/Google are largely correct. There are lots of places where the draft is extremely vague (e.g. it doesn't really define what kinds of content sharing it covers), and Facebook is going by the broadest possible interpretation.
Given the extraordinary valuations being handed out right now in public markets to companies like Fiverr ($4.4b), Square ($74b), Etsy ($16b), Shopify ($136b), and so on, Patreon should just go public. Investors apparently can't get enough. Even persistently disregarded Overstock recently went up 2,000% in just five months, hitting their highest levels in 18 years of being public. Patreon can just say: cloud! remote! ecommerce! payments! and they'll get a sweet $10 billion dotcom bubble-style valuation. Wait a few days after the IPO, announce a stock split, and drop some more shares on the public's head, your stock will double. Tell them the follow-on is to expand your remoteness and cloudiness.

For the first time in two decades it often makes a lot more sense to be publicly traded for funding purposes than private. The public market hasn't been this ravenous for money losing tech'ish stocks since 1999-2000. If you're Patreon, it has to be a serious consideration to take advantage of the unhinged mania in the air. (Obviously with the understanding that Patreon may have other reasons for remaining private; although that can't last forever though, and when you're on a series E it's getting that time).
There's a whole genre of virtual girlfriend apps. It's almost mainstream in Japan. The next thing is augmented reality virtual girlfriends.

This one is scary to me, as a motorcycle rider. The other one that’s not fun: some motorcycles have two separate headlights on the front (low and high beams) and can be wired so that both can be on at once. What are you looking at? A car that’s really far away or a motorcycle that’s really close?

Please watch out for motorcyclists. The blindness people have for us is astonishing. And terrifying.
Wow. Just blown away by the density of useful info in this article.
> Europeans are utterly unable to create new global enterprises at the rate of America and China,

Having a homogeneous, single-language, single market of 350 million, and 1.4 billion people, respectively, is an enormous competitive advantage that Europe cannot replicate, without doing away with sovereignty and brainwashing ~80% of its population.

And despite all that, the quality of life of the average European is pretty good.
Ive been wondering whether this was possible and/or feasible. We don’t know if the “brain in the vat” would alter their original personality, which is very likely having that it has to live in foreign artificial environment.
The mind itself could become depressive and unwilling to tick because why would it? Just so it exists while not really existing phisically?
One thing we can get out of it, out of curiosity is how it may affect people's perception of the news and whether the absence of algorithmic trending may result in less click-bait and inflammatory headlines in the news. I won't hold my breath, but I am curious to see if there is any perceptible change.
It wasn't magic, it just starved everything else whenever you waved the mouse around. In this respect it was no different from Mac System 7, even though the design wasn't the same.
I believe this question has been addressed and clarified as limiting the moderation of content to the news organisations' own Facebook pages only, not a general ability to moderate discussion of their articles posted elsewhere by private citizens.
