The risk/reward makes it seem absurdly unlikely that Apple actually did this.

1. Approving scam apps hurts Apple.

2. Approving scam apps in order to screw with a competitor hurts Apple, and would need a widespread conspiracy within the company to do it successfully.

3. There is plenty of money to be made in attacking Apple either directly through a settlement, or indirectly.
I don't really know what to tell you here other than that that is incorrect. Not all asset managers are macro experts, you're right. But all asset managers that make market-relevant macro trades sure are.

The kinds of people you would have to influence to move these markets are phd macro economists working for central banks, and portfolio managers at places like Pimco. These kinds of people are not reading Dalio's books and thinking "oh man, never thought about these debt cycles before, better go short treasuries".
Yep they have minds, and they use them.

> With Mypy, you get all the benefits of high-level dynamic typing for rapid experimentation, and all the benefits of rigorous type checking...

Except that most typed languages are far faster than python. Retrofitting existing python projects with types makes sense for reliability, but starting a new project with python and types makes less sense, imo.
As long as you're not interacting with the outside world, what does the computational speed of your substrate matter? Your in-universe clock runs at the same speed you do.
Yeah, it does require you to think about it. But magit has really quick and easy diffing and blame so it can make it significantly easier. In practice I rarely have to think very hard before knowing which commit to fixup.
Plan 9 is still plenty alive and kicking. My profile has all the links you need to get started. I recommend 9front for pc hardware and either 9front or Millers pi image (based on vanilla plan 9) which supports the pi wifi.

cpu/rcpu does the remote cpu session which can act like an ssh in a way. Plan 9 doesnt do "remote" control but instead imports/exports resources directly. Everything is done through 9p. Very zen OS.

> I'd just like to point out that specific issue you linked to happens on Windows too

The poster of the question explicitly states that this behavior does not happen on Windows using the same hardware. And indeed, Windows doesn't cache as aggressively as Linux does (which is one of several reasons why Linux tends to have better disk performance and less risk of disk fragmentation), so no, by design, this issue is more pronounced on Linux.

The actual reason why Windows users are told to explicitly eject instead of just yanking the device is because there are various background processes that might be writing to the device (particularly relevant if you're using SpeedBoost or whatever it's called), not because of file copy progress bars being entirely unaware of the OS' caching mechanisms.
I find the "individual atoms are conscious" to be kind of dopey, but I do like the idea that consciousness is a sort of gradient.

I would describe consciousness as the ability for an information processing system to model the world around it, and importantly, said information processing system's place in it.

As I sit here, my model of the world around me is humming along nicely. I believe I am quite conscious. My dog is sitting here beside me (awake) seems to be experiencing consciousness. My other sleeping dog is not conscious - perhaps it is dreaming, but that's not really modelling the world around it. And as we move down the scale, I become less and less convinced that various creatures are conscious. Birds? Sure. Fish? Maybe. Ants? Hmm. Bacteria? No.

At the lowest level, creatures that simply respond to stimuli are not conscious. But there's a lot of wiggle room between a bacterium and me. Right before I wake up in the morning, my model isn't really working. I would say at that point I'm not conscious. But within a few seconds, the model is running and I understand my place in it. That isn't an on/off situation. It's a gradient that I quickly pass through; becoming ever more conscious along the way.

And every night (or if I get a deteriorating neuronal disease and my neurons start to die off), the whole thing plays in reverse. My consciousness dwindles down to nothingness.
There's no paradox here. When a lottery is drawn, someone has to win it and be left with the question "what are the odds?". Well, the odds that there will be a lottery winner in a position to ask that question is 1.

I would be curious to see how the author would respond to this fairly detailed criticism of his book: [1] One excerpt from this amazon review goes "If you are impressed by statistics, blips on fMRI screens, taking correlations as proof of causality and meta-analysis as equal to replication, then you might like this book. If you are interested in what wild speculations parapsychologists are coming up with these days, then this is the book for you. If you are looking for evidence that psi is explained by quantum physics, you'll be disappointed."

> I support this.

What makes you think it’s true?

Apple has been sued for all kinds of spurious claims over the years. How do you know this isn’t another?

His claims seem very weak - they hinge on the idea that checking for scams and checking for functionality are directly connected.

There is no reason they should be.
I rewatched the whole thing last year. It’s one of the few shows that I can really rewatch the whole thing start to finish. I like the series more as it goes on.

IMDB ratings seem to agree with your sentiment (7ish out of 10 opposed to the 8ish of earlier seasons). But watching through the series start to finish I didn’t notice any drop in how much enjoyment I derived from the show. I definitely don’t think it will taint your memory.

And as another sibling post said, the send-off episode always tugs at my heart.

I’d recommend finishing the series if you enjoyed the earlier seasons.

Whether one shares Christof Koch's views on consciousness, panpsychism and or agrees or disagrees with the other postulates he makes in this essay - and there's a great deal to argue about - one would have to conclude that this is a remarkable piece of writing.

Koch not only writes from a position of possessing great knowledge of the subject but also he does so in a most coherent and lucid manner. Moreovr, he simultaneously conveying his own convictions with ease, eloquence and finesse.

Koch's analysis is certainly the most comprehensive of any short analysis of this subject material I've read, it was also the most understandable and enjoyable.

Now we have to deal with examining and getting approval for umpteen oddball custom software licenses instead of just the standard FOSS ones and, yeah, that is a problem. The pain of dealing with licenses was part of what drove adoption of FOSS in the first place.

The original spirit of open source was scratching an itch and sharing your code in hopes others found it useful. The current squabbles are about large for-profit corporations trying to extract money from other large for-profit corporations, so let's call these new licenses what they are: proprietary licenses with source availability.
Materialists see information as deriving (resulting) from a spatial - temporal - state distribution of matter or energy. Informational people see information as giving rise (causing) to matter and energy. I subscribe to the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis more or less and am sympathetic to Cyclic Conformal Cosmology. Thus cause and effect are reversed.

Lumens per watt is the curse of bureaucratic/industrial mandated lighting. Problem is people hate lighting with low CRI, people also hate dim blue light. But you can't put a number on hate like you can lumens per watt.

Efficiency regulations for residential fluorescent lighting delayed adoption by probably 25 years. Because regulations mandated lamps with terrible CRI.

I'm not sure how free will would work, even in theory. If the universe is completely deterministic then of course there isn't freedom of will in that. If it is random, then that still wouldn't be freedom because it would still be out of our control.

I can't think of a way that it could work without invoking the metaphysical.
Is this a, uh, thing that's going around?

I'm a physics undergrad who published, and the idea of boson field(s) being the source of all physics has been really top of mind. Maybe it's just a consequence of Higg's being discovered finally.

What is feeling? It's an expectation of reward following some action and situation you are faced with. Feeling is dependent on the content, the "game" the agent is playing. It represents a way to evaluate good and bad actions in order to maximise reward. Thus, even though feeling is generated in the brain, it is not about neurons firing. Having a life, something to win or to lose will automatically be the source of feeling, the brain itself is just a component.
For the crossover Simpsons episode:

“A show out of ideas teams up with a show out of episodes”.

Pure gold. Even if the newer Simpsons episodes are (imho) grade-A garbage, it’s strangely comforting that the writers are self-aware and self-deprecating enough to come up and stick with this.
Can this be used for building a convergent, dockable phone? What I mean is - if I have, say, a Pine Phone, can I build a dock with its own CPU and RAM, so that when I dock the phone, I get the extra horsepower from the dock, but without the dock, everything still works, albeit a little slower?
Could be. Could also be that they see her take responsibility and move forward with it. It would likely be in a less visible role, but it will give her the opportunity to make genuine amends.

For a lot of people they really want this story to be "ha ha the left turns on itself". And the left sure does. They're damned good at it. People love to punish, and when the real offenders are largely immune to punishment, they'll take it out extra hard on those they can get their hands on.

But there are ways for it to end. She's putting herself up prominently and demonstrating what a genuine apology looks like. She's not hedging, excusing, or turning it around. She's accepting that an apology is more than just saying that you're sorry. Which means that people get a chance to accept the apology.

Something we don't get a lot of practice in. So maybe we'll fail at it. That wouldn't be surprising. But it has to start somewhere, and maybe it'll start with her.

> There is not a single claim made in this book which does not have a reference to a proper peer-reviewed paper attached to it,

I'm skeptical of this claim in general, there's a lot of research that either isn't reliable, biased or gets twisted to support a claim. Then this i think becomes pop science, low quality sounds realistic to me kind of things. When you have to emphasize "based on science" my bs sensor goes off.

Idk if anyone else feels that way, I feel like have to approach a lot claims skeptically in fields I don't know enough about.

Ok, this title is straight up ridiculous.

"In early 2017, a doctor at the Louis Pasteur Center for Medical Research, in Kyoto, saw a television segment about the BakeryScan. He realized that cancer cells, under a microscope, looked kind of like bread. He contacted brain, and the company agreed to begin developing a version of BakeryScan for pathologists."

There, saved you a (paywalled) click. a consulting company which gained attention through their program "BakeryScan" got hired to develop something for pathologists.
Life balance and having purpose are key to everything. I use an acronum "pvsgeer" for purpose/vision/strategy/goals/empowerment/execution/review/revise/report/repeat (or a subset of that, depending), to help keep myself on track and know why I am doing things.

I don't recommend going without healthy amounts of sleep or pushing oneself beyond healthy capacity. Yes, we grow by stretching and pushing, that's not quite what I mean. I have CFS now and one of my top few ideas as to the cause was pushing too hard for years without enough sleep (seems like many famous people got less sleep, so I was determined; but the cause of CFS is really still unknown).

If motivation is really the issue, there are other HN threads with that in their title. (at least on duckduckgo one can do a title search for a site, I believe.)

And sometimes ... I have had to learn the hard rule that we have to be patient, we just can't do all that we want to do in the timeframe we want (hence the prioritization by purpose etc, per above). But I believe life does not end at death and we can continue to learn, grow, and progress, which helps tremendously for me to not worry about the things I can't do right now.

All the best to you!

Saying everything is conscious is exactly like saying nothing is conscious. To make distinctions, you need differences.

The confusion people experience around consciousness amounts to a language problem. We want nouns to refer to things, but nouns can equally refer to activities. What happens to your consciousness when you die? What happens to your breathing when you die? What happens to the speed when the car stops? If consciousness is an activity, then it can come and go, like sleeping can subside and be replaced by eating. The sleeping hasn't gone anywhere, there's nothing to go and nowhere for it to go to.

I've read this article before and it sounds like the author is motivated by some sort of weird culture war. For instance:

Xenophon (Xen. Lac. 2.12-14) disagrees and argues that these relationships were not sexual. Xenophon has the benefit of proximity (writing 500 years before Plutarch), but at the same time openly admits that it was widely believed that these relationships were sexual, and Xenophon is expressly writing in defense of Spartan customs. Even if Xenophon is correct about the ideal nature of these relationships, we have to assume he wouldn’t tell us about occasions where that ideal was broken.

Well, if Xenophon is wrting in defense of Sparta and Plutarch is writing after 500 years, we should at the very least consider the two sources equally unreliable, rather than pick a side.

It's a great idea to dispell the myths, modern and ancient, that surround the Spartans, but I think this is going all the way to the other end and it ends up with an also distorted image of ancient Sparta (Lacaedemon).

I think it's more access to quality healthcare. No longer do you have to have as many kids as possible to be sure you'll get over the hill of the childhood mortality rate. Our healthcare system has made losing a child closer to losing a spouse rather than a simple fact of life like it once was.

Education is just a proxy for access to services like that.

Excellent point, and one that many fail to grasp.

Indeed, I’ve always suspected your observation may be the best definition of ‘life’ we currently have; namely, living systems are composed of parts that are more complex than the whole.

It’s a hard concept to articulate.

But, as you obviously know, the principle is obvious.. it doesn’t stop with the neuron; I would suspect the neurons membrane or its organelles are more ‘complex’ than the neuron itself.

This is one of those things that I wish type systems could just do for us. The pattern of every single class in Java being an an interface with an InterfaceImpl is exhausting.

Having to fight the type system just for testing seems silly. Just have every class's public bits define an interface and the class's name in code always refer to the interface.

Then testers can just implement ClassName with no fanfare and you stop having to write "test-friendly" classes.
