The Pythagoreans believed that soul (greek: "psyche") was different from conscious sensation. Philolaus, for instance, wrote that the interaction of soul and body produced feeling. Soul referred to the immaterial nature of eternal reality — immaterial and eternal in the sense of mathematics. For instance, spheres and triangles are never perfectly instantiated in the material world, yet they are very real.

This I find fascinating — that perhaps a certain soulful software needs to interact with material phenomena in order to create feeling. I don't know that I believe it, but it is a sensible reason to believe that consciousness is not pervasive.
802.1x is trivially proxied anyway, unless you don't reconnect when the link is lost. So an attacker with physical access is going to be able to inspect your packets regardless.
Exactly. What people don't understand about self publishing is that it is a complex business. You can do it yourself, but then you're becoming a publisher, instead of an author. Unless this is your goal, it is better to try to use a standard publisher if possible.
You realise that cancer kills many many times the number of people that die from corona, but we still continue to "sacrifice" those people just to have a functioning society, make profits and also just for fun, by producing cigarettes etc. How can you be part of such a society?

Excellent reference. I see that Aaronson is pointing to articles more than ten years old, so the lack of progress goes on longer than the five years I mentioned.
In a fair world this would be true. You shouldn't get reward without risk. But because the monetary system is broken, this bet is asymmetrical and you are guaranteed to get rich.
I mean, I could totally see some sort of unrelated class action suit against Tesla on the grounds of false advertising, but I'm skeptical Tesla is going to end up as a co-defendant if the charge is one random dude driving recklessly.

If anyone else was wondering what percent of drivers in the US have a suspended license it's 2.59% [1]. Which honestly surprised me because it seems lower than I was expecting.

Fun fact: North Dakota has the most drivers with a suspended license at 7.75% and is followed by Ohio at 5.62% [2].

Well put! But I do think there are people who are uniquely skilled at seeing things align around them and using it to their advantage, and that can take place is any context, not just professional success.
One way to approach this would be to use QEMU binary translation, but it would probably ruin any performance benefits.
The difference there is you're not violating some TOS or EULA by replacing parts on your classic car, and when you change your oil (do OS updates) there's no chance of suddenly your transmission refusing to allow you to shift gears until you perform more heroics and disable the artificial limitations.

Very few non-classic and/or popular cars receive massive aftermarket support for all parts - often the aftermarket supports parts that are in common with a lot of vehicles or are vehicle-agnostic (such as belts, etc), and in some cases you're plain SOL (try replacing an airbag on a 1993 Dodge Caravan, for example - all you can find are OEM used ones pulled from junkers).

I think your comparison would be more apt if, say, Ford disabled all vehicles that were 10 years + 1 day old. While Apple isn't disabling your OS, they leave you exposed without security patches, etc... - making it approximately the same.

I'll turn the question around: What aspect of your consciousness is not an experience? What aspect of your experience is not a part of consciousness?
Worth mentioning the obvious: Herculaneum is a tiny village close to Naples buried by the same Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompei.

What makes it interesting is that it is much better preserved than Pompei (although it is smaller).

Fun fact: a big part of the restoration funding in Herculaneum came from David Packard, the "P" in HP computers.
No no, I disagree, these are very different things.

The matter I am made of is nothing special - everything has same kind of matter so I am bound to have some of it. But the consciousness I have is very special - top shelf in all of biology.

Say bacteria are conscious. Here is how special this is: the number of bacteria on earth is estimated to be "five million trillion trillion". And there are ~7 billion humans. So the chance that I randomly end up as human, instead of bacteria is ~ 0.0000000000000000000001. And that is disregarding all other creatures.

Are you asking if a Record Company would sue someone on the Internet for copyright infringement? They are rather famous for doing so, and more than that, for asking for extremely large settlements. Sometimes calculating the "damages" in completely ridiculous ways like multiplying every view by $50,000.

Don't forget what happened to cdrom.com. Literally sued out of existence because they allowed people to upload their own music to the cloud. They couldn't even share it, it was just uploaded to the cloud. Business completely destroyed.

There appear to be a lot of options, but as mentioned in the article, most of them are syndication partners of others; and mostly of Bing.

Google and Bing rank and present in very similar ways. The has has been little radical innovation in search in many years. AI improves auto-suggest and all sorts of things but those things often reinforce pathways. Oveall though we have to accept their major lens on the world. To break out of such straitjackets we will have innovations that free up users from those.

Why us now?

1) We don't track AND we don't pass any data to Google or Microsoft, nor anyone else for that matter.

2) You will get very different alternative results from Mojeek. Sometimes these can better and often not so good. But why use just one search engine? I use eight regularly, easily set-up in FF.

Why us later? Watch this space.
ggplot2.

The 10X was not just that it made it easier and faster to make exceptionally beautiful plots. Rather it was that it made me realize for the first time that software was, fundamentally, about an implementation of ideas. That the underlying idea, together with how well it's communicated through the API design and documentation, really matters. Reading Wilkinson's description of the grammar of graphics, and then seeing that translated to a code library... That was amazing. It defined what I think software is, as someone who was new to the world coming from an engineering background where coding was just an easy way to do linear algebra.
What would they need a firewall for? They have full control over the entire environment. They can (and should) just filter host-side.
RoadGoat Launches Cities API to Give Apps Access to Pivotal Location Content
New York, February 4, 2021 – RoadGoat, the beloved travel planning site, is excited to announce the release of a suite of data products that syncs web and mobile products with inspiring context about towns, cities, neighborhoods, regions, and countries.

“A place is so much more than a name,” said Kurosh Hashemi, CEO of RoadGoat. “Just like people, places are unique in appearance and personality. We are here to help apps and websites convey that sense of place. What we are doing to contextualize localities and regions is akin to what APIs for Google Places, Foursquare, and Yelp have done with restaurants and venues.”

Other businesses can now access and utilize RoadGoat’s clean, hierarchical data on millions of locations. This provides basic content such as hand-picked photos and geodata plus abstract details including budget and safety indicators, user ratings, and 'known for' tags such as ‘foodie’ and ‘LGBT-friendly’ — all highly accurate and available through the Cities API.

“We know that the future of tech is mobile and location-centric. That’s why we introduced the Cities API,” said Hashemi. Whether a developer is building products for social media, in-vehicle guidance, weather, transportation, or virtually anything else, our API equips their sites with richer context about places that will engage users on a deeper level, increasing their consumer base. “Our customers are very excited about how this transforms their products. For example, hotel booking sites can now share more about the areas surrounding each hotel so potential customers feel more confident in their selection, and as a result are more likely to book directly on the site.”

Is there a good podcast or Youtube video for starters? Highly sceptic of the idea and therefore intrigued.
You actually raise a great point here. When the autopilot system in an aircraft fails, as was the case in Air France 447, government authorities step in. They ground every aircraft with that equipment, conduct investigations, ask other countries to also look at the data to see if they come to the same conclusions, and ultimately hold the manufacture responsible for failing to meet airworthiness standards. Pilots are generally _not_ found at fault for equipment failures unless it is something part of the pre-flight checklist.
Zoom Hit with Restraining Order in Its Own Trademark Suit
I don't really care what most people think. If I chose my beliefs based solely on what most people thought, I would be guilty of committing the bandwagon fallacy. So don't hide behind "most people". What do you think about this issue?

My own personal view is this: The Geneva convention forbids the killing and torture of non-combatants. The Geneva convention exists for a reason: without it, war would be more brutal and kill many more innocent people. Sure, it's easier to destroy the enemy if you don't worry too much about civilian casualties. But if both sides reason that way, the advantage to each cancels out, and the net outcome is just more civilian deaths.

It's cheap to say "oh it's a trolley problem" when we're talking about killing some innocent people thousands of miles away in order to take out an enemy general. Imagine if the civilians killed by each drone strike were all Americans. Want to kill that enemy commander? It'll cost you 5 American lives. Same logic from a trolley problem standpoint, but I expect you'd get some very different results on your poll.
K3d: K3s in Docker for local development on Kubernetes
Before we can ask intelligent, falsifiable questions about consciousness we need a rigorous definition of what consciousness is. Personally I think the word is a vague term and that a rigorous definition is impossible. Therefore, if my hypothesis is true, we can not not scientifically investigate "consciousness" any more than we can scientifically investigate "divinity" or "spookiness." If you disagree with my hypothesis then I challenge you to define the term in a non-circular, objective way. My hypothesis is that consciousness is not an objective thing. It is merely an experience of the mind, thus it is an amorphous amalgam of feeling, memory, sensation, thought, embodiment.
It's amazing that the storage capacity has advanced so much. It's been largely keeping up the Moore's Law. Putting a dozen of these in an array and we're in petabyte territory. Wonder whether the 64-bit file systems are coming up a cliff in 10 years?
> Correct they can't. Managed switches without qos set up can't prioritise traffic either.

> If your switch is dropping packets, you don't have enough bandwidth.

this isn't true, there exist more bottlenecks than just bandwidth, e.g. try sending 10 byte packets instead of 1500 byte packets and watch as your switch starts dropping due to CPU exhaustion

> Ultimately it comes down to how big your buffers are whether your packet gets through or not

not really, traffic prioritisation is about deciding which packets you drop when hitting your limits (or close to), not making sure that you never drop anything

obviously if you're never hitting any bottlenecks: the prioritisation does nothing
Not for decades now.

Sure, a basic private aircraft wing-leveler or heading keeping system will fly you into a mountain, but the autopilots in passenger airlines can take off, fly a complete course, and land the plane.

They're monitored by trained professionals with thousands of paid hours and hundreds of hours of training, of course.
Agreed... and it makes you wonder why Google held back on this.
> "lightsalmon" is more descriptive to me than "#FFA07A" or "rgb(255, 160, 122)"

I must admit though that I haven't mastered identifying hue by number just yet (though if I do, it will be even better as Saturation and Lightness/Luminosity are much easier to reason about).
I think if you were to send the raw frames sure, but wouldn't they just send the delta of the frames (only areas which changed) -- with some sort of compression algorithm and parameters like VNC does?
Music copyrights are a minefield, even for old music, because it is often performed and rearranged, both of which would restart the copyright clock. And even if your church pays for performance licenses, it may not apply to when Google redistributes that performance. There is not a simple solution to the problem, even if there are 'mistakes' in the performance.

Mistakes only make it more impossible of a problem to solve, because 2 notes could be the difference between a public domain work, and a rearrangement done last week. Did the performers make a mistake on the two notes that differentiate the works, or a different place? It's simply not possible to tell from the audio.
I've always been curious about why wealthy(ish) individuals in free societies don't want to have (more) children.

Theoretically one would expect the opposite. Subjectively, I see individuals that would prefer to go on vacation then have children, but that is a false dichotomy- thinking that having children would reduce your quality of life or your ability to do fun things.
I have no doubt that lots of organisms are conscious, maybe even earthworms. And I certainly believe that I am!

My only point is that in the popular articles I've seen on consciousness, that discuss IIT, I have not, over many years, seen any description of a test of the theory, or even a statement of how it could be tested.
A powerful reminder of why I quit my philosophy degree after a year, thank you.
I imagine my consciousness as a communion of all my cells... a central decision-making council, if you like.

If my cells are in conflict or disagreement about what action to take (which I presume they often are), my consciousness resolves this by taking a decision.

As such, I find it likely that this sense and experience of consciousness is shared by all, or almost all, multi-cellular organisms on the same evolutionary tree of life.

Regardless of you opinion, autopilot kills people, because its not possible to suddenly take over from an automoua car that decided to kill you, in 50ms. We have mountains of evidence on reaction time
Will it "require" the cloud or you otherwise retain remote control over it, like Cricut or Glowforge?

If so, that is a complete dealbreaker for me. I'd assume that is also the case for others as well.
This is a bit past me, I wouldn't define "reacts to light" as conscious. In that case my Roomba would be said to be conscious. To me it seems that one is either fully conscious (your definition of meta conscious) or isn't conscious. Otherwise I don't even see what this "consciousness is everywhere" statement would accomplish.
This is something I've come to learn as I get older. I used to beat myself up over all the stuff I thought I should be doing with my spare time but didn't. Then I realized - if I'm not doing it and I don't feel motivated to do it, then it's probably not actually that important to me.

I make decent money. A lot less than all the FAANG engineers here, but still probably double the national average. I can't afford a house in the major city I live in and not sure I ever will but I'm comfortable and just trying to enjoy my life at this point.
Did you see how Twitch handles copyright issues? They're latest solution is to make it easier for streamers to mass delete all their saved streams ("VODs") to not get DMCA strikes. Compared to Twitch Youtube seem much more competent and professional.

I wonder how they would know that?
It's Not a Scam
The author of TFA disagrees with you: "Most importantly, though, IIT is a scientific theory, unlike panpsychism."
How about a single neuron? After all, a single neuron is far more complex than a worm—just like a company is far less complex than the people who compose it.
OK, so it's not a true hologram -- you cannot rotate it in multiple different ways to see what's on the other side, how does it look from the bottom, etc.

It's a sequence of frames encoded by viewing angles respective to the print surface. This printer lets you make your own lenticular cards, except they're smooth in texture.

EDIT: thanks for expanding my understanding of what holograms are :)
This is my usual trick for staying productive during remote jobs. Unfortunately didn't help much for the pandemic, lol

Trick I'm using for my current job is that I carved out a part of my living room dedicated to work, so that my brain can associate that particular desk with getting things done despite associating the rest of my apartment with chores and slacking. Took awhile to adjust, but it seems to be working out.
120 TB drives compared to 4-8-12-ish TB drives. I'm wondering if there is a chance of ever completing operations targeting the entire disk (be it an initial RAID build, resilver, restore or full backup) without hitting a speed bump.
Awesome to see this on the front-page, guys. Nice!

- if you monetize partly by collecting referral fees, do you plan to stay vendor-agnostic? how?

- over time, as products change via acquisition, updates, etc, how can you keep the various metrics, fees, features organized and up-to-date? This seems like immense work to me
I am a non-materialist and I think consciousness is not a thing. So there's that position too. What do humans, mammals and earthworms have in common that AI or robots do not (as yet?) I would not say it is consciousness (because my position is there is really no such thing) but rather they have in common the fact that they are alive and subject to the Darwinian replication program and guided by common mental processes like, thought, emotion, memory, proprioception, sensation.

By non-materialist I mean I do not see matter as distinct from information. I believe the only thing that exists is information. What is information? It is structure and meaning and pattern and potential. Information is entwined with entropy.
Well, remember, we can't even rigorously define something like "life". Doesn't mean we can't scientifically investigate it.
I feel like it's also ok for critical tasks if you're willing to accept that it isn't perfect. If all you have is a grainy photo, you'll only be able to make guesses yourself; why not have a superhuman guess too? (Because the people putting it to use would be morons about it, I know, let me dream)

I lived near Calafell for many years. I visited this site a few times, including once as part of a school trip. It does a good job at making what you have read in a textbook come to life, even for an area where ancient ruins are common. The article mentions Tarragona. Definitely visit Tarragona if you want to see very well conserved and documented ruins of a large Roman city.

Here's the thing that gets me: Docker Compose and Docker Swarm can offer declarative infrastructure and only take up under 50MB of resident memory.

I need 2GB minimum for a K8s master node, 2GB minimum for monitoring, and then 700MB minimum for each worker node[1].

I just can't justify running K8s for a blog when there are less expensive and complex offerings out there.
