You say the machine wouldn't have sensations. Yet a cat and a human also are just complex machines. Maybe being a sufficiently complex machine is all that is needed to have sensations.

And if we could imagine for example that an ant or a fly actually experiences things, if it too has some sort of degree of what we as humans have when we see or hear things, maybe there actually already are machines that "see" and "experience" things.

The difference might just be that we as humans have the extra layer of meta observation that allows us to reason about our experience in the context of the world and turn us into an active participant in that experience while an ant or a neural network are mostly just passive observers even though they too make decisions and process information.

Actually, I recall articles which mention certain brands would look for nearby unsecured networks. All of that goes out the window if vendors start provisioning SIMs and use the cellular network.

I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have some code for looking for undersecured networks capable of being exploited to derive credentials, though at least then you'd have grounds to sue under CFAA.

My point is not that "pure math is ok" since it will eventually become practical. My point is that its not a vacuous waste of time as the OP suggests. Exploring a math problem for fun is not like sitting on your couch and twiddling your thumbs.

Yes, sitting on a couch arguably has value to someone as leisure, but its pretty clear that studying puzzles and exploring the possibilities of rigorous logical thought also happens to be valuable.

This is why we pay and award people to think about these problems rather than sit on couches.
I quite like nico: https://github.com/ftsf/nico

It's got similar functions to PICO-8, but instead of lua you write it in Nim, and instead of an integrated editor, you use whatever editor you want.

Perhaps most of all though, the author also wrote some pretty cool games with it, which are also open source, so it's proven tech and you can learn from them.
It's a YC company, they get special treatment, e.g. spot on the frontend. Of course they would post. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html (in the "Can I post a job ad" section). Given the hundreds of YC companies I wonder more why there aren't ads all the time.
No, I can't imagine someone trying to sell the idea that anyone can design and build a bridge.

But a website is not a bridge – the stakes are low, and yes, for many basic use cases, Squarespace suffices as the intermediate that enables "anyone" to build a website.

Actually, revisiting the bridge idea – for a sufficiently small creek, yes, anyone can design and build a bridge (simply chop a tree and fell it across). So I guess the question becomes – what kind of bridge are you asking for? A bridge designed to support large volumes of cars absolutely requires specialists, and those specialists should feel no fear from the companies that sell plywood to toss onto creeks.
It’s all kind of obvious when you stop and think about it. Humans as a species used to get far more sunlight.

Is it a coincidence when you consider a disease from a nocturnal animal was able to jump over?

Humans have become more nocturnal in the sense that while we don’t sleep during the day, we often fear going outside. This has consequences.

Now a step too far on the cynicism side might be to point out how coincidental it is that a bunch of racists came to power across the globe and not too long after a pandemic happens that seems to disproportionately target people who can’t absorb vitamin D very well.

I've watched non-programmers get into the use of software tools for their jobs. From what I can tell, the main factor driving success is making the tools accessible, to the point where they don't have to be requested. This lowers the emotional barrier to entry. Folks don't have to justify it, and can use it for tasks that might even seem too trivial to discuss.

I believe part of the success of Excel was simply that it was installed on every computer. Engineering students learned Matlab because it was "free" for their use thanks to generous site licenses. In fact, Matlab was an early no-code tool in a sense, allowing students to do calculations without learning FORTRAN.

In my own workplace, a handful of people have gotten into using Python for trivial tasks because nobody could tell them No. They could even try it at home if they felt that it wasn't going to be approved at work.
So, during Thatcher's administration then. Did she push any significant legislation or expend any political capital to pare down fossil fuel use at all? Militaries are some of the biggest fossil fuel consuming organizations, did she cut the UK's military budget or push for cuts to NATO or the U.S. military?

Politicians are always happy to say one thing while doing another, a few examples of rhetorical opposition to climate change do not demonstrate that there was actual political will to do anything about it.

> A carbon tax has to be an approximation, and there are significant judgement calls on what the total carbon burden of a given product or service might be.

Sorry, could you explain more? I always assumed a carbon tax meant an extraction tax on any fossil fuel. For example, taxing companies per barrel of crude, per ton of natgas or coal they take out of the ground. Since practically all carbon emissions involve the use of a fossil fuel somewhere in the chain, wouldn't this capture the carbon output of any product or service?
50% deficient doesn't mean 50% have too much. It's not a hair-thin line you are balancing. There is a wide band of acceptable values.
Who buys an iphone because of the included $0.50 plug and earbuds? Those products are mostly just straight e-waste at this point.

I don't see how people paying 1 grand from Apple are upset at not having $0.50 power brick. If it's a problem, you can get a USB A/USB C Amazon Basics dual bricks + braided lightning cable that will last forever and is objectively better quality.
I really hate arguments about how much electricity wireless phone charging wastes because it makes people feel like they’re doing something when in fact they aren’t. Charging a cell phone every day for a year consumes about 1-2 kWh per phone. The average American household consumes 10,399 kWh per year, meaning that a typical smart phone consumes one 5000th, (0.02%) of a typical home’s electricity (excl. natural gas) budget. With wireless charging being 60-75% efficient, the literal worst case scenario is that you go from 2kWh to 3kWh. While that’s not nothing, it is damn close to nothing compared to HVAC or commuting, some of which involve burning more fossil fuels above and beyond the 10,399 kWh figure above. And I fear that burning out consumers on changes that will literally save maybe 1lb of CO2 per year (avg. of 0.99lbs per kWh in the US) might exhaust their will to make more meaningful changes that would have a larger impact.

Heck, just not upgrading your phone every 2 years would have a bigger impact, since most of a phone’s emissions happen during production. Apple themselves say that each iPhone 12 will produce 70kg (154lb) of CO2 during its lifetime, 83% of that during production and only 14% during use.
At best, it's hyperbole. It's certainly not "highly erroneous." The most useful websites, with the largest user bases, will also have the largest developer bases, and change the most frequently. That's just kinda how the internet is. Consider - if a tool like this had been written 20 years ago, are there any websites it would still work on today? What about 15 years ago? You're not wrong that some of the smaller websites might take longer to change than the larger ones, but the calling the notion that most websites change over time "entirely erroneous" is just silly.

If driving an electric car becomes less expensive relative to driving a gasoline car, people buy electric cars. If heating with electric heat pumps becomes less expensive relative to heating with oil, people install heat pumps. If generating electricity from wind or nuclear becomes less expensive than generating electricity from coal, people build new power plants accordingly.

Which part of the problem doesn't this solve?
A lot of people felt Facebook should do more to proactively stop people from scraping and aggregating data from their site after the CA debacle. Which is what they are doing here, and you are labeling “absolutely preposterous”.

Which way is it? Should they let people do whatever they want with their accounts as you suggest, and risk a repeat of the CA fiasco? Or try to proactively stop it like they are now?
That's often people's assumption, that at some level of complexity, qualia just show up. But we don't actually have a clue why that might be the case, or how it happens, or why a pile of atoms banging against their neighbors should be considered a larger whole which thus has complexity and therefore consciousness.

People think qualia must just show up this way because if you're committed to materialism, it seems there's no other option. But that's not an argument, it's just faith in materialism.

And it's not true that there are no options besides simple materialism and crazy woo. E.g. it's possible that all matter has some level of conscious experience; you can believe that without believing anything contrary to physics. There are all sorts of possibilities being explored by people who grapple with these questions, instead of just assuming an answer.

1) I and almost all my (even distant) family live in Iran.

2) I don’t know. I know there is a minority (again no idea how big) that really likes Trump because they really hate the Islamic regime, but these people tend to be poor (? Again not that sure) and have little grasp of economics or international politics.

3) The current sanctions have brought extreme hardships on us Iranians. From my own selfish viewpoint, I am hoping for much lighter sanctions from the potential Biden presidency. I would, however, prefer the harsh sanctions to the IR ever having nuclear bombs. (Not that I can see them being effective at preventing the bombs.) I am also not poor; I think a high-pressure strategy that results in a mass revolution by the poor can be to their medium term advantage (such a revolution would, of course, hurt the middle/upper classes a lot). But such a revolution might very well be impossible by the modern technology and the centralization of power. So to summarize, I think effective sanctions will be worth the hardships they cause, but ineffective sanctions not. The current hard sanctions seem ineffective to me unless they are made much more stringent (which might not be possible) or are paired with military interventions.

This really depends on where you are. For example, I live in Canada. In the winter, I only see the sun a few minutes a day. I start the workday in the dark and finish it after the sun has set. If I see the sun, I'm most likely while I'm in my car driving from my house to the grocery store during the weekend.

Keep in mind that sun exposure through a glass window will not be enough to trigger the production of vitamin D.

Unless I ate enough fish to make me sick, I'll get vitamin D deficiency. I have a lot of friends and family who are on prescribed vitamin D supplements, which are huge doses you take once a week or month.
Hey as a happy user of vendure was gonna come here and ask for this.

Please do it guys! I don't mind helping out!
The actual title of the thing you linked to:

Vitamin D Deficiency: Consequence or Cause of Obesity?

As someone who dropped several dress sizes by improving my nutritional status with zero intent to slim down, I am of the opinion that obesity is caused by eating empty calories. You keep eating and eating because you aren't getting enough nutritional value. Your constant hunger subsides if you actually eat nutritious foods that actually meet your nutrient needs.

I used this theory to also help one of my sons drop several sizes without doing anything else. He had really gotten quite large and it was negatively impacting his back issue. His brother told me "It's because he sucks down chocolate pop tarts all day." so my response to that was "Let's get you some good quality dark chocolate. You are likely craving the actual chocolate for some reason and chocolate pop tarts don't have all that much." He slimmed down dramatically after that and it was the only thing we did different.
If you really think that’s an issue, pasting could be disabled for that input field. Would that make you happier?

It hasn’t been an issue for me, since repo names aren’t usually super long and onerous to type.

Maybe we need to shift focus to lowering the cost of False positive? The industry is willing to skip ton of great candidates that fail the "audition", just to avoid false positives. Otherwise great people and employees are ruled out, just because they can't reflect their true value at work in a stressed 1-2 hours interview. Cheaper false positive hiring may ease the pressure on the companies side to let them in. Having said that, because of stress, questions on interview should be 50%-60% difficult since the interviewee is not at 100%.
I think it goes both ways. If Hitler or <your favorite historical bad guy> had spent their time playing chess instead of <bad things>, we would've been better off collectively. Also, who says I'm smart enough to contribute to cancer research?

> It's not the quality of the research, it's the quality of the journalism

It's not only that. At some point you realise that even science with all its safeguards is not indifferent to the dominant, accepted belief systems. People simply align with a group and will blindly repeat anything, even self-contradictory statements, as long as it's expected by their peers. It's quite uncanny when you notice it for the first time.
The previous articles I read about Vitamin D & Covid (mentioned in German and Swiss news, not sure about the location of the cases) were related to critical cases in hospitals.

Meaning that if the conditions are right (e.g. area having a high virus density, long exposure to low levels, whatever...) you might anyway "catch COVID", but if your vitamin D level is OK then you might be less likely to end up in an hospital or even in intensive care (because by having good vitamin D levels your body can apparently fight better against the virus).
I think that none of the stats showed an absolute confirmation of this data.

Therefore, in my opinion, your sentence/question is a huge misunderstanding, but of course I might be wrong :)
I would imagine being in a hospital bed for days without sunlight because you're sick with covid could result in a reduction of vitamin D.
A work sample test set that is restricted to material relevant for the job you are doing? Only writing code on a laptop text editor?

I'm guessing that when you say "checkmate" above that it's more like go than chess?

In chess you have literally no legal moves, but in go a good player just knows that it's hopeless to continue, and it's rude to keep going.

I passed the phone interview for an Amazon position a few years back and when the hiring person told me that before the next interview I'd have to come up with stories for 14 principles (I thought it was 14 not 12?) I thought in my head "This is a cult" and then politely told the hiring manager no thanks.

If i can’t believe the media on politics, can you please explain to me why i should believe them on climate?
Sure, there might be some niche corner case where it actually pencils out better. But that's not really helpful when assessing the impact of this on a global scale. There's some other scenario that's the opposite that cancels the benefit out.

And as far as heating is concerned, heat pumps are more efficient, and most electricity—when turned into resistive heat—is less efficient than burning the fuel directly.

So the only case where it would be a benefit is if your heat is fuel-based, but your power is renewable, and this condition lasts most of the year.
I can absolutely code if necessary. It was honestly more of the "look" and display of the data that was I looking for more of the shortcut for. I have a computer science degree. I am a little rusty as I work in IT now but should be able to bulldoze through it. I recently downloaded a lot of the data breach info and wanted to sort it in a database and create my own search engine similar to sites like "weleakinfo" and what not for my house. It seemed like a fun project and good opportunity to learn something new. I figured there was some type of platform/framework that was common for that opposed to coding everything from scratch. Just curious though. Thank you for the reply.
>The company I work for follows several practices Google and Spotify follow, even though they don't make sense for us.

So your company is cargo culting "thought leadership" from Google, you can see it's a poor fit and you're still there because...? Let me guess, the money?

As with the 996 stuff, if you're not happy to work in those conditions then don't.
My 2 cents: Get rid of stars and then have each reviewer submit something positive about the product as well as something negative as nothing is ever perfect. Eventually people will figure out the reviewers writing "it works too good!" or "it has no problems!" as negatives are fake. Even if the bots manage to get around the automatic detection (i.e. IP + activity tracking) they'll still be submitting negatives which will hopefully balance out their positives and incline the user to examine each argument instead of being subconsciously manipulated by the 10/10s and 5 stars.
Go was considered to be difficult for computers because of the high branching factor compared to chess. DeepMind still beat the best humans there pretty comfortably, with similar amounts of training to what allowed it to compete with the best engines in chess and shogi.

I'd expect AlphaZero to hammer the best humans given a similar amount of training (~100,000 2017 TPU-hours) in this shogi variant, so no increased training time at all by that metric. Maybe a more meaningful metric is how closely it approaches perfect play, but we don't have a good way to measure that.
With one notable detail: Its much easier to stream data through the GPU than it is through an FPGA.

That's an interesting assertion. FPGAs are better at moving data from one place to another than any other general-purpose device I can think of.

How many GPUs have Xilinx GTx-class transceivers, for instance? A GPU with JESD204B/C connectivity would be an extremely interesting piece of hardware.
Cars, when driving, have speed that is a continuous, seamless "whole". Therefore, the driver, engine, and wheels have nothing to do with speed because they are parts? Or, the driver must be connected to the wheels via magickal electromagnetic fields?

It is meaningless even to say.
