In support of the requirement for high-fidelity (atom-for-atom) modeling is the notion that an evolved computer would converge toward behaviors that supervene on specifics of the host environment. If porting a binary to another CPU architecture is tough, how easy will it be to port a mind to a simulated simple physics? How many edge cases will it have to get right to even run at all? If brains are hacks designed over millions of generations to surf overlapping fitness functions, it makes sense they'd find implementation (real physics) dependent optimizations that compound in ways which fall apart in toy physics. That's not to say we can't add cool peripherals.

ps even with atom-for-atom modeling, how do you know the behavior doesn't depend on relations which are not computable? If physics ranges over the reals, some of those edge cases might be hard to find with a simulator.
Recent work in philosophy has called into question the notion that the mind/cognition/identity is entirely independent from the body.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/embodied-cognition/

Personally I think Western culture in particular has neglected the physical aspects of existence. The idea that our bodies are simply vessels for our minds seems more the result of cultural neglect than anything.
The solution for the credit card problem would be hard but there are plenty of situation where the solution is not that inconceivable.

One way that it may work is if there is way you can trace any transaction good enough so that you can't use the credit card number without revealing yourself.

Another example would be if I'm gay. This information can be used to really hurt me in the past but not so much these days. Sure I can hide this information to prevent people to hurt me but I rather to fix the issue of the need of hiding it in the first people.

I would imagine if people can hide being gay perfectly there wouldn't be that much acceptance today.
At some point you have to question people that choose to work at Amazon who have other options. At the very least.
In this particular case, no, as the image wouldn't be being sent into the PC to render in its framebuffer; but rather the PC would just be drawing an empty window, and reporting the geometry of that window to the monitor. The monitor, with two HDMI leads plugged in, would be responsible for compositing the inputs together, according to the geometry the PC reported, but all internal to itself.
It sounds like an implicit admission that it can deliver superior performance but is expected to be too expensive for large scale applications like electric vehicles.

I prefer that over the hubris of press releases that say a battery recently demonstrated in the lab could change the whole world in 5-10 years.
It is quite different. They are Amazon’s own fleet of workers, competing to get work assigned to them by Amazon.
Hi I'm a developer advocate in the container engineering org at AWS. I think there are a few misunderstandings here that I may be able to explain better.

First Bottlerocket is not Amazon Linux 2, it is its own minimal operating system, with most components built from the ground up in Rust. This is totally different than the Amazon Linux 2 you may be familiar with (and most other operating systems for that matter). Bottlerocket is optimized for running containers with high security isolation. The host OS is extremely minimal, it does not come with bash, an interpreter, ssh, or anything beyond the system basics needed to run containers. In fact it uses an immutable root filesystem. You aren't intended to run or install things directly on the host at all.

Everything that is installed and runs on Bottlerocket runs as containers, which are kept isolated from each other and the host with best practice security features such as SELinux. For example you can connect to a container on the host via AWS Systems Manager, or you can optionally enable a container that lets you connect to it via SSH. Once again the thing you are connecting to is the container on the host though, not directly to the host.

For this initial release of Bottlerocket we are focusing on providing image variants that are prepackaged with the requirements to serve as underlying container hosts for an ECS or EKS cluster. However we also intend Bottlerocket to eventually be something that anyone can use, anywhere, even outside of AWS, if they wanted to benefit from the secure by default, container first design of Bottlerocket.

You can read more about the security features of Bottlerocket here: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/blob/develop...

OP’s point was that while the title is technically correct, it’s a bit clickbaity
That is a valid point, but honestly, avoiding (learning) TypeScript as a modern day JavaScript developer is a mistake.

I know it is annoying that there is a breach into the purity of the JavaScript language by a different actor. But let us face it: TS is useful, it is the right tool for the job and it is not niche. It complements JavaScript and solves problems JavaScript is structurally unable to solve. It helps and improves the JavaScript language. It helps millions of developers with static typing backgrounds to accept and deal with the imperfections of JavaScript.

In my primary language - C# - there is tons of influx of functional programming nowadays (sourced via F# and OCaml). I could fight against it but I do not. I embrace change and adapt. Take the Linux Kernel: After three decades of C code they are talking/merging support for Rust. Why: it is the right thing and it is a good complement for their C tooling.

When you watch TV shows from the SD era that has been scanned into HD from film, you can sometimes see this. For example Seinfeld.

Occasionally things will be slightly out of focus, but it wasn’t apparent on a SD CRT so they shot the scene. On an HD screen you can see it and it’s kind of distracting.
A movie set in Africa is racist for having a majority black cast? That’s just having an accurate cast demographic; It would be racist to have a cast representative of the US population (ie. a majority white cast).

How so? I mean, obviously it's impossible to make a decent educated guess since basically the entirety of most peoples' interactions with computers stems from the near-monopoly Microsoft had on personal computing in the 90s. But I'm still curious to know what you predict would be different if MS didn't strike their deal with IBM.
What if we find that the gut, which has 100 million nerve cells, also plays a part in the emergent property of mind?

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/09/your-gut-directly-co...

"In a petri dish, enteroendocrine cells reached out to vagal neurons and formed synaptic connections with each other. The cells even gushed out glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in smell and taste, which the vagal neurons picked up on within 100 milliseconds—faster than an eyeblink."
2020 Typescript has very few non-idiomatic JS constructs left, most of which are left only for compatibility reasons with really old TS code, have deprecation markers or strict flag errors around their usage, and generally are frowned upon, with one odd exception that proves the rule.

Almost all of them come from the early days of module development as ES2015 and ES2015 modules were finalized. Most of them resemble idiomatic JS of their time. There's an old import and export syntax that idiomatically looks and acts more like CommonJS (aka most older npm packages). That's been deprecated since 1.x and I believe an error or warning since 2.x.

The "namespace" thing you are probably recalling is about the only surviving piece of that legacy, as the exception that proves the rule. It got renamed to "module" to at least sound more JS than C#, and while the syntax is still not entirely idiomatic, the concept that it has always wrapped and been mere syntactic sugar for is a classic (thankfully on life support more than not) pattern: the IIFE [Immediately Invoked Function Expression] module pattern.
Phonetic alphabet is more a radio convention than a navigational convention, and is also used by terrestrial radio users (ie military). Alfa/bravo/charlie was adopted as a NATO standard in the 1950’s; during WWII the US and U.K. used the able/baker/charley phonetic alphabet. And I think aviation adopted the NATO standard before maritime radio.
I doubt it’s a conspiracy or organized comment ring.

The popular narrative around unions is one of the employees versus their employer, but ultimately even the business’ customers or adjacent businesses end up paying some of the price.

For an example that will probably hit home for many HN users, try asking your trade show team about dealing with unions. The restrictions imposed by unions on trade show attendees are unreal. We had to spend extra to use tool-free fasteners and pre-wire our booths to avoid trigger union regulations that only union employees could use certain tools and do certain wiring jobs on the trade show floor. The union even sent someone to watch us to ensure we weren’t using forbidden tools or wiring one year. If we did, they would send us a bill.

Unions have their place, but it’s dishonest to suggest that anyone skeptical of union efforts doesn’t have valid reasons to oppose them.

From Vector Spaces to Periodic Functions
The argument feels like it started from a pre-existing conclusion (not liking/knowing TS) and retrofitting a reason (supposed fragmentation).

The reality is that NPM is already a fragmentation mess. There are many libraries that break because of things like poorly tested `module` field in package.json and/or .mjs support. There are libraries that break with different versions of node, or different package managers, or different OSes, libraries that only work with webpack and/or babel (and/or react/vue/[insert framework here]). There are libraries that break with random transitive pins because who tests that every permutation within a semver range is actually following semver correctly. There are libraries with broken CI because it's in "maintenance mode" for years but the travis setup is stuck 5 major versions of Node behind. There are abandoned libraries, libraries that drop support for browsers on minor bumps, and libraries with hostile maintainers. There are libraries written in clojurescript and nim and reason. There are libraries written with other type systems (e.g. flow)

Maybe the author feels left out for not knowing typescript, but honestly, it's kinda becoming a requirement in the industry these days. I might understand being reluctant to learn C++ and its toolchain for a one-off fix in some Node-GYP thing, but being able to understand typescript is something that one could reasonably expect a senior level frontend person to be able to handle nowadays.
...and I’d opt for the spatial resolution, completing the trifecta!

Thankfully, we can just have all three :)
OK. Then I guess we're on the same page.
don't know why you're getting downvoted.

this is part of history and one of the many reasons unions have failed in the UK. and they're still failing having lower number of members every single year.

I'm going to assume that's because it has twice the raytracing power so it's with all the eyecandy turned up (Until I see something that says otherwise).

Shader Studies: Matrix Effect
Agreed. Until that is sorted, all this is just a weird little dance we do to distract from the fact the room is on fire...
interestingly many of us feel that there's a huge gap between the past and now. But how many of us can actually verbalize what will change in the rendering of pictures in, say 3 years.

For example, I can clearly see that ray tracing produces better results. But it's a bit harder to tell how better it is, to find the words that describes how better it is. Of course, one can say that, for example, photon tracing is more physically accurate. But still, what words can we use to describe how real (or not real) a still image is ("more realistic" doesn't count :-))
> because of years of regulation to make it more fair and to weed out exploitation

Actually it's because of years of union-organising, putting pressure on companies and governments to implement these measures. Without unions, we would have none of these improved work conditions and protections.

In theory, a sharp enough crop body and a 300mm lens could do it. But yes, you really do need a good lens.
Good thoughts all around.

I will say that I am excited about 8k video for computational photography. I am studying computer vision for robotics and it is quite clear to me that a simple spherical lens with a very high resolution sensor would be a very good imaging system for a real world robot.

I recently got a Panasonic GH5 and it shoots 18 megapixel “6k” 30fps video, encoded in h265 (important for higher res). I am experimenting with photogrammetry using this photo mode. The initial results are very promising. In four minutes I took a scan of a short street block in Oakland, and after processing the photogrammetry solution I have a very good dense 3D full color map of the street. The model has holes but I am slowly learning how to plan a photogrammetry capture. Currently computation takes hours but I am seeing more and more research on ways that machine learning can improve compute times and data density.

See how low the visual acuity is on 5.6k spherical video here: https://youtu.be/nASvIYq3VkE

However all this is to say that very high resolution sensors are a very good thing for robotics.
Amazon Linux 2 is an AWS-optimized Linux distribution but it's a full distribution you're used to — RPM-based, generally compatible with RHEL/Centos, etc. — and that has the usual benefits and costs. You can customize it as much as any other Linux distribution but you're taking on the corresponding level of effort to secure and operate it. If all you run are containers, that's overhead for things you're not really using and it also means that you're going to be slower to update things like the kernel and system libraries since there's more to test and backwards compatibility is a big concern.
Wouldn't work. Employers would simply not list the requirement but hire upon the criteria anyway.
Very good point. A lot of the bad code I have seen doesn't ship _because_ it is bad. It can't even get through the testing phase because it is full of crashes type thing. Whereas good code usually has a good design that results in _less_ code and development speeds up as you go on. So the end of the project feels like putting cherries on top of a cake instead of trying to balance cherries on stilts.

I don’t know why this is even controversial. American style unions are bad for business, plain and simple. And Amazon is legally required to put the interests of its investors first. Amazon is going to be doing whatever it can to discourage unionization, that’s just what’s going to happen, and I find it hard to blame them.
> The core of a union is bad for workers that excel

SAG-AFTRA represents both movie stars and B-list actors you've only ever seen in infomercials.

> Unions are great for low-performing workers that get guaranteed raises and can't be fired for complete and utter incompetence.

SAG-AFTRA represents every American movie star, the same movie stars that can command multi-million dollar contracts with their own terms with the help of the union.

But type classes solve the modification problem. (Even tough no language that I know of solves the recompilation.)
You can see on Nvidias product page they are calculating based on a 125W processor. My 3700X is 65W so I'll have enough room for a 3070 easily on a 600W PSU.
That's because our operating systems treat user input as a soft real time problem when actually it should be a hard real time problem. That's why your window manager sometimes can be unresponsive. I've used a hard real time OS for a desktop for some years and the difference with consumer stuff was extreme. You get used to the computer instantly doing what you tell it to do. None of these half second or longer delays between command and result. It's like magic.
The issue was also opened in a very positive and respectful way, which sets the tone for the whole discussion.

From my own experience, if I've been away from a project for a while sometimes there's this snowball of guilt that just keeps building up, and if there's people saying "hey what the hell?" it just adds to it. Understanding that and making sure there's no implied accusation can go a long way to getting someone to break their silence.
