I have a first person experience of the world. You probably do too. Everything that I know, including all of the science I have learned, all of the books I have read, all the music I have listed too, all of the people I loved and even this post that you wrote and me replying to it exist for me purely within my first person experience of reality.

My subjective experience of reality is the only thing I have direct knowledge of. Everything else I must doubt. If you think about it, I am sure you will come to the same conclusion.

My paycheck says that I am a scientific researcher, and I have a deep appreciation for science. It provides me with models that go all the way from the subatomic world to societies, that expose regularities in reality, that allow me to understand how many things fit together, and to make predictions. But these are the things that are "just words" or, better yet, symbols. My conscious experience is the thing that I DO KNOW. Maybe it's all a dream. Maybe I'm a brain in a jar. Maybe I was created one nanosecond ago, and I am just a random fluctuation in some process and all of my memories are part of that.

And yet, and yet, the most fundamental phenomena of them all, the thing that I have experience of, is not predicted by any of the scientific models. There is no reason why a bunch of atoms should "become conscious" once their interactions are complex enough. There is no way to build a scientific instrument that measures consciousness. Sure, you can build a scientific instrument that detects brain states that we assume to be correlated with consciousness, but this is just crude analogy. Firstly we can never be sure, and secondly we don't know where the boundaries of the phenomenon are. Is a star conscious? Is the universe? Are the individual cells in your body? How do you know? How could you tell?

That is the mystery. I find that the people who deny the mystery have something equivalent to a religious belief, and that they are not necessarily aware of it . Believing that matter -> ??? -> consciousness is not so different from believing in creationism. A comforting story that makes reality seem intelligible, but that has no basis other than one's wishful thinking and group think. It certainly has nothing to do with science or rationality, at least so far.

I have a Focal Clear, Schiit Lyr 3, Schiit Bifrost 2 and I can not tell the difference between Tidal and Apple Music. There are tests online which people regularly post on Head-Fi and Reddit which also shows that almost all people can't distinguish lossless from high quality lossy encodes.

No it won't.

As Apple describes in their guide for Apple Music they have, "dynamic range that’s superior to red book CD audio" because they transcode from the high-bit masters.

a lot people on hacker news believed if you throw enough money into something like China is doing with semi industry that somehow you can get your fab into a leading fab.

you can't just build something with off the shelves equipment. if that's the case then China big fund in 2014 (before trade war, China already pouring money into semi industry) already bearing fruits but SMIC have to poach TSMC engineers to get them into 14nm.

leading foundry like TSMC pour in a lot of money into R&D with their partners. TSMC's ecosystem along is unrivaled. there is also the trust issue. TSMC's main and only business is making chip for their customers unlike Samsung which is a Conglomerate.

what the author said about Apple is true(move away from Samsung's supply chain). that's why Apple is now a core customer of TSMC.

edit: i recall a interview with Morris Chang by a Chinese reporter. she bring up the question about the Chinese big fund. she say if Chinese govrt throw its weight behind the semi industry. it will over take TSMC. Chang said you can't buy "experiences" it will take time for Chinese fab to learn all the mistakes and gain the know-hows. there's a lot going into the production than simply buying semi equipment and somehow magically you can get to the yield level that'll be profitable. Intel's 10nm yield problem is the example of that. sorry, English is not my first language.

I'm no expert at all on neuroscience, but when I recently got the opportunity to read a transcript of the lecture titled The Value of Science by Richard Feynman, it filled me with awe and reverence. I can't but share a sizable quote from the same.

https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/1575/1/Science.pdf

“For instance, the scientific article may say, 'The radioactive phosphorus content of the cerebrum of the rat decreases to one- half in a period of two weeks.' Now what does that mean? It means that phosphorus that is in the brain of a rat—and also in mine, and yours—is not the same phosphorus as it was two weeks ago. It means the atoms that are in the brain are being replaced: the ones that were there before have gone away. So what is this mind of ours: what are these atoms with consciousness? Last week's potatoes! They now can remember what was going on in my mind a year ago—a mind which has long ago been replaced. To note that the thing I call my individuality is only a pattern or dance, that is what it means when one discovers how long it takes for the atoms of the brain to be replaced by other atoms. The atoms come into my brain, dance a dance, and then go out—there are always new atoms, but always doing the same dance, remembering what the dance was yesterday.”

It's a single paper. It responsibly limits itself to a manageable conclusion and responsibly points out where there are still open questions.

Can you point out where in the paper the authors leap to "let's regulate" as you put it? There seems to be one small section about regulation, but it doesn't exactly advocate for it: it describes how their pricing research could be used in regulation. It describes challenges in regulating. But it responsibly avoids making moral/policy claims.

You can, but do you remember the times on the Internet when that was the case? I vaguely remember cents per thousands of ad clicks, which would make most websites financially unviable.

I do, and the amount of money webmasters made back then was much better.

Some of the sites I ran got $10-$15 CPM. Ad campaigns targeted to my sites' niches could be up to $25 CPM.

Ever since Google introduced AdWords and its race to the bottom, content-heavy web sites are lucky to get 10¢ CPM.

But since the new kids on the block have never experienced a profitable web without tracking, they don't know any better and think it didn't exist.

I think your parent was referring to the cost of storing a 2-byte string length instead of a 1-byte terminator. In the 1970s and 1980s, 2 bytes would likely be the minimum storage needed for the length of a general purpose string implementation. Although there were some language environments (e.g. Pascal) that had counted strings with a max length of 255.

it's the same end result though - whether they don't have the ad inventory to make use of hyper-detailed tracking, or they're just not very good at turning the tracking into targeting, then either way performing the hyper-detailed tracking is a waste of money and they can make more money by spending less on tracking me.
I'm wondering how hard it would be to reverse-engineer the FLoC algorithm that assigns ids based on browsing history.. could one just have a bunch of headless browsers randomly visit sites, and compute the FLoC ids periodically to see what types of sites end up producing which ids?
This seems important since being assigned a group ID that includes a bunch of people might not be so bad, but (as the article suggests) if its well known which web sites are included in the group, that's a more disturbing story

It's been a while, but yes, that does ring a bell.

Ok, so you have a "Zombie" that has all the behaviors and physiological processes associated with access, but no qualia.

In principle, we might learn everything there is to know about access and still have no insight into qualia. Have I summarized that correctly?

Assuming so, my position with respect to "why study neural correlates" is:

1. Access (whatever that is), is still interesting and worth studying, if only to find out what it actually is, and even if it's "just" working memory or attention.

2. At the very least, we will have succeeded in distinguishing access from phenomenology. Our common human understanding of (phenomenal) consciousness will have advanced insofar as we will understand it to exclude access and all its second-order effects.

3. It remains to be proven that there is something more to explain than "just" the physiology and intentionality of brain processes with respect to access. If there is, Chalmers might be right. If not, the point goes to Dennett -- and think about the implications!
Children have massive potentials for dollar return. Not least because you can't buy the type of care your child might give you in old age for any price. But also because if they succeed, then you have access to their networks, which can also be worth quite a lot.

You won't be able to calculate a precise number, but the saying "It's not what you know, it's who you know" shows the dollar price of networks is very high.

Our entire society has been flooded with low effort high (short term) reward entertainment activities.

Psychology has been weaponized to optimize addictive behavior loops. Instead of going outside and talking to people being the norm, now people have to make a concerted effort to pull themselves away from their psychologically addictive pocket sized happy fun device, convince others to do the same, and then arrange a time to go out.

Socializing is messy, painful, and difficult. But for the majority of human civilization, there weren't very many alternatives for entertainment!
I think this is due to at least 2 factors:

1) The success of movements for gender equality actually make the excesses of those movements hard to critique.

2) Treating a problem as a choice. The problem is having a home that is relatively clean with 3 healthy and enjoyable meals a day for 2 adults and children. Having one adult focus on income earning while another focuses on household management is a solution many families find works for them. There are others. 2 career focused adults with a nanny is an option if those careers have enough earning power. Some immigrant families here in Canada will have the entire extended family live in a single (large) residence. The grandparents do childcare and household maintenance while all the adults work.

Most media seem to treat family arrangement as people dictating their political philosophy onto those less powerful when in reality the vast majority are managing trade-offs in time, finances, lifestyle, and career.

3) The increasing tendency to optimize society for the upper end of the wealth distribution. When a woman becomes a fortune 500 CEO, supreme court judge, or in any other way reaches the upper echelon of society this is treated as a victory for women as a identity class, even though such victories have no material benefit to the 99% of women who lead normal lives near the median.

Ideally, society optimizes for the median while allowing outliers to path to success. But that requires a level of nuance and flexibility that doesn't seem to have much place in public life.
I think the part where it's a "scam" that people are falling for is entirely subjective. People who relate to the idea of digital ownership don't feel ripped off, and I think there are plenty of people involved in NFTs without grandiose expectations. But you're right anything that involved high stakes sums of money will disproportionately reward sharks and ruthlessness, this includes finance and politics as well. There is perhaps little room for idealists. With NFTs and Crypto and anything else, you can take what you like, it's a freedom that we have.

There is something wrong with the argument that women need to think of raising kids and staying home as ambitious as anything anyone does including those working 16 hours/day jobs and building a career that rewards proportionally, ie. lawyers at top firms, surgeons etc.

Incidentally this is orthogonal to if men raise the kids or women.

You can’t equate the two. The stigma is not entirely irrational. Raising kids is the default thing humans do, graduating at the top of your law school and becoming a partner at Cravath, Swaine & Moore is not.

I wish the evergreen browsers would ease back on the pace of releases. Most sites and apps can’t use bleeding edge features in production anyway for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is low quality of implementation, for example if a feature is supported in theory but the rendering looks awful in one or more major browsers when it’s used in practice. Another is inconsistent implementation across browsers that need to be supported. Both of these areas have suffered noticeably in the modern era of rolling updates and the dubious concept of “living standards”. With the increasing significance of the web as an application platform and not just a medium for content delivery, developers need stability and clear specifications or the quality and longevity of their own products will inevitably suffer.

Ticketmaster acts as a flak shield for the venues and artists.

Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, had operating income of $325M on $11.5B in revenue in 2019[1]. That’s less than 3% margin.

Most of the “Ticketmaster Tax” is going to the artist or venue, who get to offload any displeasure onto a convenient third party for a small fee.

Perhaps the alien look you are getting is because you are in a financial situation where you can afford to take 2-4 years off of work while also being able to afford to live in the Bay Area. I don't think it's a fair assumption that every sleep-deprived working new parent wants to be working.
I always thought that for a project this size, a 6 week release cycle was already super aggressive. We came from pretty much annual releases back in the IE days, so it made a huge difference to go to rapid releases. Does trimming another 2 weeks off really make a big difference to how quickly features arrive? I feel kind of sceptical that it's a meaningful difference. I would also guess a risk is that with less time on the pre-stable channels for testing, there might actually be more bugs and issues as a result. I'd be interested to hear the arguments in favour, which the blog post doesn't seem to go in to any real detail about.
I don't know if there's an ideal age to have kids, but 18 has always seemed way too young to me. I know a lot of people who had kids at that age who, while they love their kids, deeply regret not waiting.

You also make it sound like starting a business from home in your early 20's with kids is somehow more feasible than working a stable job. That doesn't really make sense, especially when you just talked about 90% of startups failing.
It's not clear what you're asking for exactly, but the solution is obvious: give whatever it is that you want to provide to EVERYONE, regardless of their gender, and whether or not they actually have children. Special treatment for everyone.
