>If there's consciousness inside the VM, it's only there with respect to the homomorphic crypto key!

But the entropy of the encryption key is the degree to which the consciousness is "hidden". This entropy is still massively lower than the entropy of the matter that makes up a brain. If we have some way to demonstrate the encrypted system is computing the mind program, say, by interacting with its input/output, then we can in theory demonstrate the system is conscious. The fact that the encrypted system's operation maps to a mind program with entropy equal to the key, rather than equal to the entropy of the bits in the mind program entails that the encrypted system intrinsically encodes the mind program. If the mapping were equivalent to just mapping the states of an arbitrary system to the mind program, the entropy would be equal to the much greater bits in the program. Comparing the entropy is the key differentiator.

Deep Equilibrium Models

The only thing at fault is the cultural need to isolate fault.

We've created a society, a system far too complex for such simple attributions. You're only fooling yourself if you blame any one of those parties.

A whole system analysis and solution is the only way to make meaningful progress.
Visual gimmicks like "" (an apple character to designate Apple) are not in keeping with the text-based nature of this site, and "bois" is presumably short for "fanboys" which is flamebaity. These are markers of low-quality discussion which is a different band of the spectrum from what we want on HN.
For an intuitive understanding, try to build one in one dimension. Imagine you have a position that's drifting at a roughly constant, but noisy, rate, modeled by a normal distribution. You also have an occasional 1D GPS reading about that position. As building blocks, check out conjugate priors, specifically normal-normal [1] and the algebra of random variables, specifically the sum of normally distributed variables [2].

Briefly:

If you have a normal distribution as a prior and a normal distribution as new evidence, then applying Bayes Theorem on them results in a new normal distribution (times a constant we'll ignore). The calculation can actually be pretty simple - the mean is a weighted average, weighted by precision (precision is 1/variance), and the precision is the sum of the two precisions.

If you have two normal distributions modeling unknown variables a and b, and you know x=a+b, then you can model your knowledge of x as another normal distribution. The calculation for this one is also simple - its mean is the sum of the two means (intuitively has to be) and its variance is the sum of the two variances (I've seen several math books say it's surprising. It's very convenient though).

So you have all the pieces you need to do (new state guess = old state knowledge + noise from passage of time) and (new state knowledge = new state guess | new observation), where all the variables are normal distributions, and the new knowledge ends up being a normal distribution too, so you can use it as the old knowledge next time you get information.

The position still seems consistent to me, because I consider not censoring people to be as significant a choice as censoring them.

So to me, inaction on Facebook's part isn't a non-choice; it's a bad choice.

The thing we probably both agree with is that nobody should trust Facebook to make good decisions.

Where we part is that I think Facebook already made mistakes by hosting inflammatory garbage. I'm glad they're under public pressure to fix those mistakes.

Interesting idea, but I don’t think that’s a gamble any of the current clouds would make. The business is by nature a long game, so a few years of increased profit followed by <danger> doesn’t seem like it’d be enticing to a cloud.

Besides, it’s not really true today that clouds only employ “above average” developers. I mean hell, they employed me!

Robert Bussard tried to build a small superconducting reactor 30+ years ago. He had a company called Inesco (International Nuclear Energy Systems Company, and also Italian for igniting, per his collaborator Bruno Coppi). There used to be something about it in Bussard's Wikipedia biography but it looks like it got edited out. I don't know what eventually happened to Inesco but there is still info about it on the web.
The whole visa hopping thing works, but it’s also fairly uncertain. I know quite a few people who did that in Asia, and have heard multiple stories about immigration catching on and them being refused entry.

I personally migrated by finding a company that would sponsor me, usually switching companies after that is pretty effortless.

That's why leaf blowers should not be banned, but _outlawed_. An outlaw, in the traditional sense, is a criminal who is placed outside of the protection of the law, so that he can be killed with impunity. Similarly, anyone who sees a leaf blower in operation should be legally allowed to destroy it (without hurting the operator, of course).

I don’t understand the reasoning against modern tools under the moniker that they’re slow. If you can type out a class in a 10th the time but your ide is 40% slower (as a hypothetical impact) that is a net gain in output. In reality it’s not anywhere near a 40% slow down to use the features on computers made in the last 5 years. Anecdotal to this, I am a slowish typer (40 wpm) and because of this writing code was a long process for me. With modern tools I can produce a monstrous amount of code in a short amount of time.

A C file implies a compilation unit. For the projects I write I like to have a single compilation unit per binary (what's called a unity build). In the case of C, this doesn't bring much speed to the table, but it allows for a simpler build toolchain none the less.
I'm curious: if Apple decides not to fix this bug, does Ms. True have any recourse? It seems that in America businesses have the right to refuse service at their pleasure, except for specific forms of discrimination which are explicitly banned. Could Apple, legally, decide that fixing the bug would cost more than they expect to make from her as a customers, and simply reject her business?

Anything that accepts YAML will accept JSON.

I don't mean this in a "if you just swap the parser" way. I mean that in the "if you provide JSON to a program that expects YAML, it will parse it". JSON is a subset of YAML

So not only do you have a way of not using YAML, you can also force this decision onto most third-party services as well, and no-one will know the difference.
Doesn't really feel wrong to me. Just incredibly stupid.
RectCut for dead simple UI layouts
I would be happy if something could be done to prevent audio latency for all devices on my system from permanently increasing if I ever connect a bluetooth audio device.

On Linux, I have to restart pulseaudio after using Bluetooth audio, otherwise retroarch is unplayable.

BTW where are you getting numbers for 200ms latency being average on desktop? My understanding was that latency is typically around 40-50ms on desktop if you are using analog speakers.

I'm not sure how to explain further what I meant with my previous statement, so apologies if what follows is not satisfactory.

I was trying to convey that people that live through an event oftentimes have the benefit of localized context, over others that only read about it. In this specific example: Miss Tsing Loh had the benefit of knowing the classes described by Fussel as contemporaries - in University, in the shops, at the beach. She might have noticed subtle cues in their behaviour that make obvious to her that the book is only meant as humour, where Scott can only assume it is, which to my reading, he does plenty.
You are right, in short term, fusion has not much value. But in (very) long term, unlike fission, which no matter how incredible it is, is still only 'planetary-level tech', fusion is the first 'stellar-level tech' we've unlocked so far.

The lack of save systems on most console games back then led to the same result. I spent hours exploring the early levels of Sonic and Sonic 3D, because I was only so good and could only get so far in one play session.

This somehow led me and my friends to discover a very unintended way to reach the level select in Sonic 3D: place the cartridge in as loose as you can, and then shove it down fully on the Traveler's Tale logo. Crashes 9 times out of 10, but always worked eventually.

I'm not in agreement with that. The banners are an effect of shitty companies being shitty to their customers. They already put as many annoyances and dark patterns on their website as they can, with or without GDPR: newsletter subscriptions, opt-in as default, multiple trackers.

Those banners are merely the effect of shitty companies trying to cover their asses and being non-compliant to a law that's actually sane.

Latency on calls over cellular networks is already very high (my subjective experience). But we humans are good at working around it when it's just two people - wait for the other person to finish speaking before you speak, and the other person might have a little longer delay before hearing your response.

If there are multiple parties on the call, this breaks down, because if two people want to speak, they both start talking and don't realize it for a little while.

On video calls this also breaks down, because either video and audio get out of sync (like with zoom) or you get odd artifacts in either the video or audio as they are kept in sync.
Usually you had he option at least. Either fork up full price for unlocked phone, or take the subsidized monthly rental of phone with a locked SIM.

And while the second option does lock you into one operator for 12-24 months you still had the choice of which operator to tie yourself to, I don't think I ever saw a phone model only available on single provider.

Finally no matter which operator you chose you can still call people from other operators, even if they initially tried very hard to make this less pleasurable by allowing free texts and minutes within the operator.
I knew someone who was TA'ing a class back when they were in grad school. I heard a story about him - to get ahead of this uncertainty he gave the class three options for what to call him:

2) 'Mr. Wolfman' (his last name)

3) 'Darth Wolfman' (funny, obvious not meant to be taken seriously, option)

Guess what the class overwhelmingly voted for? :)
Don't Blame Bad Software on Developers – Blame it on Their Managers
I don't understand why anyone would pay for this, under any circumstances. You're not paying for exlusive access to the tweet, or even ownership in any meaningful context - you get a certificate of authenticity tied to a cryptographic signature. The tweet is still out there in the wild, and it's not like you can delete it or transfer it to your handle or anything like that.

I truly, genuinely have no idea who's bidding on this, or what their reasoning is. In fact, I'm not sure I understand the concept of NFTs at all. In the physical world, fine art holds its value because there is exactly one of each painting, and the human hoarding impulse nurtures a sense of reverence towards originality. However, art "sold" via NFT is still accessible and available for anyone to appreciate and download. I don't have to ask for permission from the owner to look at the art, or even go to a specific location (like a gallery for a physical piece). I can just download the art to my computer and stare at it whenever I want.

The only argument I've seen for NFTs is that many famous artworks have prints made, that are cheap and available to everyone. The original painting is expensive and owned by a single person, but anyone can have an imitation hanging on their wall. I don't know that I buy the translation of this concept to the digital world, because prints are very obviously not the actual piece (not least because they're printed and not painted). If I download an image or video, or grab a link to @jack's tweet, I have the exact same configuration of bytes that the "owner" has. In the case of a link, I'm staring at the exact same thing the "owner" is, and the fact that it's on a reputable website means I'm not looking at a fake - thus providing the same guarantee as a certificate of authenticity. Hell, there's even a cryptographic element, since the site will use TLS for encryption.

Am I missing the paradigm here? Or is this just the method by which crypto millionaires will become crypto penniless?
