Regardless of the process, if the aim of the IPCC's messaging is to change behaviour, its efforts are misdirected.

IPCC talks about the plight of the planet, by describing opaque physics and biodynamics processes, as if ordinary people will join the dots, make quantitative scientific appraisals, and selflessly decide to make sacrifices to save the planet.

Most people don't think about the whole planet, or thermodynamics, or the future of humanity. They think about their hip pockets, themselves, and raising kids on a budget.

Renewables are cheaper!

Save money heating and cooling your house with solar energy!

Drive an electric car and save money on fuel and services!

Those are the messages IPCC should be putting out. Everybody loves a bargain. The promise of renewables, once we get over the develop and build cost humps, is infinite bargains. Sell that vista. It's easier than selling science.
Godel's incompleteness theorems apply to pure mathematics, so even without having any idea how our brains work, we still know for sure that they apply to our brains as well. Even if our brains were able to solve the halting problem, they would still not escape the Incompleteness theorems.

And note that it is not that hard, at least in principle, to construct a system that can detect its own incompleteness.

As far as we know today, the most likely theory is that our brains are Turing-equivalent computers. There is no other known model of computation, and no scientific argument that would show our vrains/thought processes can't be computers
(that is not to say we have proven either of these, they are just the most likely statements, like P!=NP).

You've been using HN primarily for political battle. We ban accounts that do that (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), regardless of which politics they're battling for. It's against the site rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and destroys what HN is supposed to exist for, which is curious conversation on a wide range of topics.

> Perhaps if we were able to understand the brain's inner workings, we could see that 'the experience of red' is precisely 'these 3 neurons firing ever 0.0112 seconds at an intensity of X while receiving 0.001 micrograms of serotonin' (completely made up, obviously).

Even if we knew that a person saw red when such and such neurons fired, the neurons firing would still just be a material correlate. It would be in no way equivalent to or explain anything about the sensation itself.
Even stock poor spec PS4 wasnt as bad as media would led you to believe. It runs at 30 fps with occasional drops to 20 fps and seldom/very rare 15fps, MUCH better than past critically acclaimed games like Control which shipped garbage running at literal _10 fps_. Ps4 will also crash on you once every ~5 hours, probably not fixed memory leaks. Still game saves often so its not a problem, more of an annoyance. Other than that its smooth sailing.

Interesting points and good to hear them. But I have to say it seems to me a bit like whataboutism - let the poor guys go, they aren't so bad and we should all now strive for peace. In Europe if you riot at a football (soccer) game you'll get charges, on a no fly list, on a watchlist, possibly banned from certain cities during contentious games for the coming decade. I don't know how the US handles similar cases, but would you not want a response to those guys? I can storm the house of government and then travel home because it might radicalise my social circle if I face consequences? Sorry but that's just absurd and if you think this logic through I can't see how anyone can come to this conclusion: radicals of any colour should not face consequences for being part of violent acts because it might radicalise them further.

What seems quite obvious from an outside perspective is that these folks just aren't used to seeing consequences. They cheer on when 'the other side' faces them, say protestors at a BLM protest get brutalised by police, even if the individual ones that get beaten/arrested/... did nothing wrong. But they have never experienced what it's like if the state objects to what they are doing. Now they see some rather measured responses and immediately cry foul. And I'd stress measured response as - again looking from the outside with no stake in this fight - the images are so strikingly different. For instance I haven't seen any images of police violence from the capitol attack - total difference to BLM protests where the most vivid images were usually an army of policemen in riot gear and batons advancing towards the protestors. At the capitol it seems the only time police was violent was to prevent entry to the building, which the protestors were trying/ultimately succeeded to enter.

This was a quite well nuanced statement of affairs. They could have stopped at simply confirming they are not working with Parler, but they have gone much further.

I am sure they will cop a lot of flak for sharing this view though.

One of the paragraphs that resounded the most with me was:

>In terms of the eagerness by some to call for mass deplatforming and universal cancellations, it is becoming increasingly easy to demonize anyone who has different beliefs with no recognition of the actual effects and impact this can have on society. Vicious attack campaigns can be readily manufactured, online or offline, to promote a false public consensus. Without smarter discernment outside of a mob-based judgement of instant convenience, the decisions we make now may ultimately be utilized to reduce liberties that many take for granted. Until these freedoms and voices have been taken away, most will not realize the extent of what could be lost.
Theranos went on for nearly a decade before it crashed and burned. There was plenty of time.

DOJ hasn’t stopped taking on major cases and if anything the WSJ journalist who was critical in uncovering the lies and wrote the book on Theranos could have had even more time to poke around.

Plus most importantly the VCs would be putting on a lot more pressure to see something real, something they could use ASAP.

So I could see this have the complete opposite pressure you imagine.

Did Facebook "radically changed the world for the better"?

Did Google, for that matter? Is the control it has amassed, and its imperial impact of business and ideas (and the web itself) a net positive to a good search engine and a OK email service (both of which have gotten worse over time)?
You've been posting tons of political flamewar comments to HN, some of which have been egregious. I'm replying here because it's your most recent comment, not because it's the worst of what you've been doing on this site.

We ban accounts that use HN primarily for political battle, regardless of which politics they're battling for. We have to, because otherwise this site won't survive for its intended purpose, which is intellectual curiosity.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stop doing this, we'd appreciate it.
> Hunger and homelessness are still very real problems there.

I totally agree with you there. Here in Germany, most homeless people could not even start to work because you need a legal residence to get a bank account (getting paid in cash or via check is illegal in Germany), so they cannot accept the Arbeitslosengeld (Hartz IV).

There are some initiatives in larger cities though where they provide shelters so that homeless people can have a legal postal address to get back on their feet.
In the US? Protected classes. This is the idea that some discrimination is so pervasive and damaging that it needs protection from the law, despite the fact that that directly conflicts with the idea that businesses should be able to be run as the owner likes. The harm of the latter is small compared to the harm of allowing the former, so the argument goes (and which I agree with, not that that matters to the answer).

If I decide my soup shop won't serve you because you ask a question or put your money on the counter instead of handing it to me, no problem, questions askers are not a protected class. You can trivially go to the restaurant next door and get served. If I decide I won't serve soup to anyone in a same sex relationship, someone of Jewish descent, women, or whatever, then there are legal protections in place that prohibit me from doing that.

I am not a lawyer, but this goes back before you were born. There was the civil Rights act of 1866 which banned discrimination due to race or color. The Civil Rights act of 1964 added sex, national origin, religion. In 1967 age discrimination was added, and in '73 disability. ADA was introduced in 1990, and that was expanded further in 2008. So now, for example, a business is required to make reasonable accommodations for a disability. But they don't have to hire you if you scream obscenities, or wear yellow shirts, or I dunno, are vocally planning to murder a politician or destroy a Government. None of those are protected classes. No requirement to do business with them or to hire them, or to keep them in your employ.

i am sure that represents a segment of america... that was what people were told to come to grips w/ in 2016, that we had abandoned rural america and how we "got" trump because of it. i don't buy that narrative now. i've felt i've bent over backwards to try to listen and in the end we've just moved further over.

but looking at my small window in the midwest, it's not about economic desperation. most have actually voted against their own ideals economically. it's a perceived cultural war on "conservative" ideals from the "evil" liberal machine. i don't know what the solution is to bridge that divide.

There are two failure modes of this strategy.

1. New information comes to light, the stock crashes, and you realize you were wrong and the stock is a dog. You no longer want to own it at the strike price. Oops. You effectively bought it above your updated estimate of its worth.

2. The stock keeps rising and rising, you collect the option premium but you could have made a lot more money if you just bought the damn thing outright.

These are more subtle failures than the usual "Oh my God, I blew up my account!" but they're real.

It's perfectly fine to keep doing what you're doing if you're comfortable with this risk. There is no strategy without a downside.
The first rule of trading: never get married to a position.

So how exactly does the whale profit in the attack described in the article?

If you're a whale, sure you can make brokers squirm by throwing your money around to buy a ton of options, forcing said brokers to bid up the underlying price hedging their short calls.

But then (as the whale), while the price is high you'd want to close some part of your position and realize gains. This means you sell the underlying at the inflated price, and then re-buy it at the lower price by exercising your call options? Is that the strategy?
They are probably vile in sum too. The human being is truly a wretched creature. A few, I imagine, might come out barely positive in a total accounting of deeds and intentions. But I am skeptical even of that.

I do not mean that some cannot be better than others. The professional managerial class is certainly more disgusting than most. But maybe only in perception because their knowledge and cunning allow them to do evil more widely. The average man is relatively restrained in his misdeeds not primarily by his superior character but by his inferior ability and the humbler sphere in which he can exercise his wickedness.

Disclaimer: Clearly biased, I am from Montreal.

> That’s part of why I think that if any city in Canada has the potential to actually develop a Bay Area grade startup scene (smaller, sure, but actually the real thing), it’s clearly Montreal

I would have to agree with the conclusion of this article, Montreal has:

(i) 5 universities very close to each other(i.e. 10 to 20 minutes walk from each other) + Great public transport

(ii) Lots of government subsidies for startups, on municipal, provincial and federal levels

(iii) Small tech companies and startups can afford rent downtown (or in the mile-end), where other tech companies and universities are located. (I also have a 1200sf apt downtown for 1/6th the price of SF)

(iiii) It's an amazing market where to fail quickly. Quebec is some sort of small scale self-sufficient society where you can experiment before scaling. And outsiders tend not to look at failures in the Quebec startup scene

(iiiii) It's surprisingly easy to get funding from the massive government investment funds(IQ, CDPQ, BDC), and they have been focusing more on the startup scene lately.

(iiiiii) The french Canadian "culture" tends to be bolder and more dynamic than what you would expect in the rest of Canada. Can't hurt the ecosystem if you're expected to move fast and fail quick

(iiiiiii) Move to MTL already, we want more startups!

Arguably, they just needed (much) more time to optimize the game for underpowered, older consoles.

Not sure that really qualifies as "even better"...

"Even better, there is no microphone", is about the only "even better" scenario than the signal lines being broken. A powered down active component is only "almost as good" at best.
It's a difference of cultures. Canadian culture traditionally focuses less on making a lot of noise, standing out from the crowd, etc. Canadians are almost infamous for politeness, especially compared to Americans.

Now, couple this with the ease at which Canadian engineers can get jobs in the US and the picture emerges, bright and clear. Any Canadian with a lot of ambition may be alienated by the relaxed culture in Canada and subsequently move to the US, further reinforcing the cultural divide.

On the other hand, Canadians (and even Americans) who are disillusioned with what they may see as an excessive ambition and a relentless focus on "growth hacking" might opt to live in Canada, also reinforcing the cultural divide.
You can't make trolley problem tradeoffs when there's enough uncertainty involved in all the steps.

Older medicine is filled with supposed cures to issues that cause issues down the road. We also have countless medical trials that show no positive effects on the disease it's trying to cure, and outright ill effects (both short term and long term).

If we _did_ have visibility and a good understanding of the effects of stuff, you would think that Covid, of all things, would push at least some people more down this argument you are making.

But basically everyone involved (including many many people who had extreme incentives to push a vaccine through) stuck to the trial discussions.

I do understand the "Extenuating circumstances" argument. But this sort of massive generality reeks of Dunning-Krueger.

> how does one go about and build a profitable and steady company with good talent without getting yanked into this cycle?

One approach might be to build a business by cleverly leveraging the value of competitively paid software engineers. You can accomplish quite a lot through focused effort. You shouldn't need fifty ICs to develop a profitable product.

Paying professionals doesn't have to come from absurdly oversized VC rounds. Sometimes it comes from steady, profitable, sustainable growth.

> *Note, I am perfectly on board with paying competitive salaries, my point is that given the heavy market distortion because of all the VC money, that "competitive salary" isn't actually an accurate descriptor.

You're right. It isn't. We should ignore the VC funded companies, and talk instead about the big players: FAANGs. That is the new definition of a competitive salary. I suspect you'll find it dwarfs that of many VC-fuelled startups.
It sounds like we understand it the same way, with different words.

We don't understand yet, in any formal sense, what consciousness and subjective experience are. It may turn out that they are fundamentally different than mathematics and computation, but the vast majority of scientists believe today that they are not.

The most common belief is that consciousness is simply the self-introspection of a sufficiently powerful computer that can form models of other agents. That is, this computer is able to infer what other agents may do using a model of their inner state, such as beliefs about the world and desires; then, if it applies the same model to itself, it comes up with a similar image of an agent which it calls its own consciousness. Qualia and such are then just illusions, theoretical properties of these models, not fundemantal properties of this world (somewhat equivalent to saying that in fact we are all philosophical zombies, no one has any qualia).

I am not claiming that we know for a fact this is true. But we also don't know anything that can conclusively disprove these hypotheses for now, certainly not something as simple as the idea of qualia.
It's not as much "the command line", but being able to talk to your computer using a human-like language, instead of pointing with your finger like a baby or a monkey.

Do you know any computer/user interface that is based on writing what you want to do? (instead of selecting it from a small list of possibilities) The only one that I know is the "primitive" command line.

The current administration:

The new administration may be reversing all of the above.
OK, so you'd rather have a big, high gain, low output impedance amplifier enabled and driven with the audio waveform but the signal line gated... than the device unpowered and the signal line connected to ground via the ESD protection path in the package. K.

I'd have a decent chance at recovering the audio in the former case, but nil in the latter..

For instance, if it's gated with a FET, and then hooked up to a SOC ADC pin that's multiplexed with other functions, one could use those other functions to provide biasing opening the FET.

If it's gated with something better-- e.g. an actual relay-- the audio waveform may still be recoverable: it's very, very large in magnitude compared to how it is with the device unpowered, and will be consuming variable amounts of power with the audio waveform. You might be able to recover the signal by measuring power nets AC coupled with lots of gain.
I buy the option at strike 100 from you, and hedge it. Underlying goes up, I sell some, it then goes down, I buy some, I've enough made money on the hedge to cover your premium. Price goes back to 100.

You did nothing in the meantime, so you collected the premium on the expired option.

Note this system isn't closed, we have not accounted for where the money came from. The market makers in the underlying are out the amount of the hedge gains.
