> If you ssh into that server or poke around on it

Just don't do any manual poking. You can't (really) do that with docker containers, and you shouldn't do it on a random server.

On a virgin server I generally do this to install my application, and I do it with a simple script (you could also use orchestration tools, but that's overkill for <10 servers) because I am even too lazy to enter five commands:

1. Add my repository

2. apt-get install my-app unattended-upgrades sshguard ...

3. config like setting the db server

4. reboot

That server will now automatically install security updates, but I need to manually tell it to install/update anything else (because I like it that way). My application, which sometimes is just a package that contains some haproxy/nginx config (if I run the server as a reverse proxy) is installed from my own repository, so I can update the way I'd update anything else on that server. You really shouldn't do anything on that server besides telling it to update (if you haven't set that to be fully automatic).

There's time-tested orchestration tools if you want to automate anything of the above. For some applications I have my build server poke a server that'll make the application on each other server update.

> I don't want to be aware of the platform differences.

I can understand that position, to a degree. But even with docker you'll be using some OS, or package manager repos, (generally) in your container.

If you use the docker repositories however, you're pretty much at the mercy of the update practices of individual packages, whereas with systems like debian you know what you're getting - which for debian is stable, but sometimes not up-to-date packages. And if you build debian-based containers, you should still be aware of this.

In any case it's really worth it to understand how dpkg/apt works and how debian packages work. It's not complicated and can be done in a day or two. You're already using them anyways.

It may also help you better understand exactly what niche docker is filling and you won't have smartasses like myself tilting their heads at you when you list something a typical linux system does (and sometimes does better) as a value proposition for docker.

Basically docker replaces and improves upon what people used to do with VM images. That's what it's competing with in the sysadmin world. It's not directly competing with debian/apt/dpkg/whatever, even though it makes some of their features redundant. It may make working with the latter more forgiving, because you can fiddle with a Dockerfile until it creates something that works, but it doesn't replace them.
One of the stranger theories of consciousness I've come across over the years is that of John Grandy. His primary hypothesis is that DNA itself is the source of consciousness. He tends to self-cite (rarely a good approach and only weakens his ideas from the perspective of an independent observer), but comparing the ideas in OP's article with Grandy's has got me thinking.

From all the Tesla autopilot videos posted online I have seen so far, it isn't hard to believe. The system needs constant driver intervention, even for simple everyday scenarios. Calling it anything more than driver assist is borderline criminal.
No, the apparent fact that the car was in Autopilot is what makes this interesting. Autopilot is touted as being effective – if not more effective than human operators – in avoiding this kind of accident.
Setting up your Work from Home environment
But then the onus is on those who sense it to point out said bullshit.
A bit off topic, but is there some consensus about what the best way to license software so that non-commercial use = MIT, commercial use = 'proprietary, please negotiate a license' is?

Like, some standardized legalese or something.
Interesting. I haven't tried running the official server, I just went by what they list on their website [1]. It says "Minimum 2GB", "Recommended 4GB". To me this suggested massive resource consumption: my server with a bunch of services including bitwarden_rs running uses just about 1GB.

The phrase 'Cloud storage' conjures distributed replicated fault tolerance within a region to provide high availability and strong durability against datacenter disasters (fire, electrical/mechanical failures etc)

and cross geographic region replication to protect against natural calamities (earthquake, tornado, floods etc).

It also conjures a managed service with object-level (volume, directory, file) metadata, versioning and strong identity access management capabilities.

rsync.net doesn't seem to do any of these and charges 0.5 cent more per GB/month. What's the secret advantage I'm not seeing?
Lift your hands from the wheel, close your eyes, drive into something and afterwards say you weren't driving. Well, you weren't.
The fact that the collection is literally a log of daily practice is very upfront. This is his daily sketchbook done in public starting from his very beginning of his journey creating art. Every single one of these was done in a day and are going to be rough ideas. To act all snooty about it is disingenuous and sounds like jealousy.
Man, everything about your service is simple and direct! Amazing.
it seems we're living at the golden age of autonomous driving development as even Uber killing a woman due to disabled emergency braking didn't make it even to the negligence (granted Uber showing poor dynamic range video recorded by what seems like a cheap cell phone camera to the sheriff in that village (Phoenix) also played the trick - that sheriff can be fooled by such a video is the major part of why it is the golden age right now). The same way with Tesla - notwithstanding me being a big fan of Musk - self-driving without 3d scene building is pure arrogance and negligence which is enabled only by general public and government not-understanding of the things - thus the golden age.
multi-touch + properly thought through nad responsive UI design was the dealbreaker.
The contention is more nuanced and forceful. It's not just that we can do a survey, and are doing them;

it's that our notions of what would be useful to look for are to significant extent conditioned on our own level of technology.

There are axioms, for sure; but we are also axiomatically limited in our imagination to that which we have had insight into with so far.

Our surveys to date have focused almost exclusively on the presumption that an advanced civilization would emit (intentionally or as a byproduct) RF in a manner we can detect in the bands it is convenient for us to examine, and focus on from reasonable first principles.

But there are as many arbitrary assumptions or allowances for our convenience or technology in our surveys as there are motivated ones. Arguably more. (I would so argue.)

Not long ago I read that fascinating blow by blow of the zero-day demonstration of using Apple device discovery exploits to own iPhones, so long as you could get close to them.

As interesting to me as the actual exploit mechanics, was the patient walk through of the state of the art of frequency hopping band-sharing error-and-conflict-tolerant protocols matter of factly surrounding in my in my house.

Were I a HAM operator patiently looking for CQ, I might well miss the massive Zoom party going on on the local Wifi. It would be "noise."

I am not making a specific argument, just saying: our own technology continues to advance so quickly at our own time scale,

that the presumption that the universe we can see is "dark" is IMO not just naive but willfully so.

There is much in basic physics we still are struggling with and/or have no plausible model for yet.

So long as that is the case, we don't even know if we're in a forest, let along a dark one.
Yeah, we aren't going to rearchitect the highway system and teach every driver the new rules so Tesla can move a couple more units with it's false autonomous driving promises. They simply need to stop hitting parked cars with bright lights flashing.
Is there a reason you think consciousness can't simply be explained as brain activity?
Not OP and not really invested. You can probably replace "exploiter" with provider. A user uses the software directly, a provider provides it to users. Amazon can be both simultaneously, they can run ES to analyze sales and find out what products of third party sellers are worth copying, and they can also offer ES as a service to other users.

That kind of difference is pretty common in non-source-related things, e.g. you can use the API for your business, but you can't resell access to the API.
you just described HTC Condor! Not the parallel part per se..

https://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/
This reads so spot on. Can you give some examples of recent artists who have had hype Manufactured for them in this manner?
For a typical HPC cluster, there is a shared filesystem with exactly the same file structures across the cluster over a high bandwidth network, which basically replaces "a clever use of fuse/sshfs and chroots" with something far better. OP's project is clearly useless in HPC setting.

On the other hand, OP's project is exactly an linux/posix version of the same as what Plan 9 was designed to do and has been doing.

I love this! I am one of the rare people who use named colors all of the time, and this will definitely get a bookmark from me!

Especially during prototyping/design, it's soooo much easier to keep your designs consistent with a named look-alike color, then switch over to brand colors with a find/replace.

For personal projects, I almost exclusively use named colors.
Kubernetes The Hard Way if you want to start from first principles and learn all about low level tools and setup. In practice you're probably going to use a cloud provider or tool to automate all of this stuff, but it's useful to understand the core infrastructure like TLS certs, etcd, etc.

Otherwise the official docs are quite good and worth starting there. I'd be wary of buying books that are more than a year or two old--the k8s space moves fast and they regularly have major updates once or twice a year. Books and docs can get a bit stale or out of date with current best practices.
It is also a quite nice tool for checking the POSIX compatibility of shell scripts. I find it very useful when working on Solaris or some other UNIX that does not use Bash by default.
For small values of "consciousness". The author writes "Consciousness is any experience, from the most mundane to the most exalted." One could call that "input". Still, the author is a serious neuroscientist, not a philosopher. He did, however, start with a Jesuit education, which biases one towards thinking that humans are special.

I personally think that trying to understand "consciousness" should be deferred in favor of trying to understand "common sense", or "how to avoid doing bad stuff in the next few seconds". Once we have a handle on that basic survival mechanism, seen in all mammals, then we might be able to address consciousness. Also, we could build robots able to keep themselves out of trouble. Biggest unsolved AI problem right now. It's the basic reason computers do stupid stuff sometimes.

Trying to understand "consciousness" without the ability to emulate basic common sense results in philosophical tail-chasing. There's a lot of that around.

I got too much of this going through Stanford CS in the mid-1980s. This was during the "expert systems" period, just about when expert systems turned out not to be that useful. The philosophers were still in charge. One exam question was "Does a rock have intention?", which gives a sense of where the faculty was coming from back then.

(The reviewer meant "adduce", not "abduce". "Abduce" is just moving your limbs outward. The muscles that power such movements are called abductors.)

The bright side of this "little" incident is, they did not have to call the police to report the incident.
No where is it advertised that autopilot handles partial lane obstructions or debris in the road, certainly better than a human.

Regardless what your opinion is on the naming, autopilot is a form of cruise control and legally and operationally requires driver attention, 100% of the time.
Luckily the research papers behind the articles are always very readable—especially in archaeology—and very easily accessed through libgen or email.

Researchers also use Twitter more and more, it’s not difficult to just skip the reporting entirely for the source in some areas!
The money supply at the bottom of the economy was disrupted. Mass unemployment disrupts the velocity of money at the bottom of the economy. The labor supply is there, the jobs that allow laborers to be paid for doing work are not. As these laborers are no longer able to buy goods from retailers that serve them, the demand evaporates. So you agree, there's not a disruption in the "supply of real goods" so we shouldn't see inflation as stimulus checks and family UBI relieve money supply issues exactly where that supply issue exists.

The quantity of money might have gone up for large companies, banks and those positioned correctly, but that's inaccessible to the majority of the American population. The majority of 2020 stimulus was delivered to private banks that prioritized their largest strictly for-profit customers. 2021 stimulus, in contrast, shifts the balance toward direct aid and city/state aid.
Tesla is going to keep selling Autopilot, and average drivers will continue to drive poorly. I suggest a low cost change to emergency procedures that improves outcomes regardless of who has command of the vehicle. Autonomous driving will continue to improve, human drivers will not.
Don't be so sure :)

> In 2019, Smith said in a video he wanted to live in a “Unabomber cabin” to escape the surveillance and censorship which he believes is especially aimed at the far right. In a post on his blog in the same year – since deleted – he described the modern world as one “where your every action is watched, if you use proprietary software and communicate only via social media services”.

Unlike MIT/Apache/BSD-style Open Source licenses, Free Software can't be relicensed by anyone but the copyright owner. It's a completely different situation.

The current problems stem from pretending that Open Source has any more of a relationship with Free Software than it does to proprietary software - an expectation that reifies (and honestly necessitates) things like "the Spirit of Open Source" in the minds of developers. The Spirit of Open Source is that you're working for massive companies who can ignore you.

The only relationship between Open Source and Free Software is the fact that Open Source code can be arbitrarily relicensed and therefore can be relicensed as Free Software as easily as it can be as proprietary software.
I tried a lot of guided meditation apps like Calm, etc. None of them - NONE of them - compare with Sam Harris' Waking Up app. To call it an "app" does not do it justice -- it is a container of content, to which he and others contribute regularly. The theme for all content is always consciousness.

If you think free will exists, listen to Sam Harris's 1 hour series of audio on the topic. It will change your mind.

I wish we taught introspection and self-examination in public schools.

I would love to use this simple setup as well. It's too bad ZFS snapshots cannot be sent and stored encrypted. I would love to use rsync.net but the idea to have my data sitting in someone else's computer in plain text feels wrong.

So instead I have to use restic, which re-implements many features of ZFS and this also feels wrong.

> Critics say the name [Autopilot] misrepresents the driver-assist system's capabilities.

I can't disagree. Autopilot in a car should mean the same as it does in "Airplane!" or "Wall-E".

> The driver of the Tesla, identified as a 22-year-old man from Lansing, was ticketed for failing to move over and driving with a suspended license.

And there's the actual problem. You can blame Tesla all you want, but you'll have a hard time proving that the brand/model/features of car this person chose to drove has anything to do with the crash.
Smallest unit of bitcoin is satoshi, which is 0.00000001 bitcoin. Everyone can earn that. And yes, you have to work to earn it, but it won't lose value like regular money. Which means that the value of their work doesn't vanish.

So I don't agree, and I will use the car analogy again - old cars are not "supported" in any way and yet many people keep them going. There's serious engineering effort to make the parts, to write new software, to improve existing firmware etc.
By your logic, that's also "wasted" effort since the manufacturer chooses to abandon cars after just few years, so why would you keep them going.

I feel the same way about computers - like, who gives a damn what apple thinks. I have a laptop that is still going because people keep making it compatible. That's a good thing, not a bad thing.
What's with that 60 second "processing cookie" stuff?
I have only used `git-absorb`, but one difference from reading the article is that it does its own analysis of your previous commits to choose what each line should `fixup`. Because of this, `git-absorb` can only fix up commits up to a specified base (10 commits earlier by default) when you use it.
Why? Seems like the perfect term. It's stolen from aerospace where pilots still not to be aware when autopilot is engaged.

It's my gut feeling that your preference yields an equivalent amount of ugly N+1.
I don't think you're missing anything. Tononi made a formula related to how complicated a system is, and claimed that its measures consciousness. And what are you supposed to say to that, when no one can agree on what the word "consciousness" means, but people are still so attached to the word?

Yes, I believe so. It doesn't have to be in the same league from the very beginning. iPads are very powerful, not every average user needs that and considering the fragmented market of android tablets, there really isn't a real alternative to iOS or Android.

Yeah, once you get past ad hoc applications, one common way to set this up is to setup a cluster/batch scheduler. This lets your jobs be run on an available node. You don't get the same chroot/fuse filesystem voodoo, but once you have a cluster, then an NFS mount for applications is a common setup.
