> The "feeling of experiencing" is just a perception.

That's exactly the phenomenon we're trying to explain. You've just said "feeling is just feeling".

The question is - why is there someone experiencing a feeling. A machine or algorithm can be self-referential. Is there some magical "amount of recursion" that suddenly results in consciousness? That seems strange to me.
some bad news for you: Darwin does not apply in this case. given a problem and enough time, mother nature will solve it. given a problem people can probably solve it in less time by actually you know designing the solution.

one could argue that a lean company may actually have lower costs and will probably have comparable output.
"We know the answer to why uniform radiation propagates due to an inverse square law."

This is an answer to a "how" question rephrased (incorrectly) as an answer to a "why" question.

First, the "inverse square law" isn't a law in the colloquial sense (like a maximum speed limit law) where the universe is forced to obey it. Instead, "law" is just a conventional phrase indicating what the consensus among scientists is regarding certain observations.

So it's really an answer to the question of "how does [our current observations of how] radiation propagate?": "according to the inverse square law".

Future observations of radiation propagation might run completely contrary to those we've had up to now, and it is scientific explanations that will have to be modified to accommodate those observations.

But the inverse square law does not explain why radiation has been observed to propagate in this way.

For such an answer you'd have to resort to a much grander explanation of the universe, involving all sorts of other theories involving many other observations, back to the big bang, which is not yet fully understood and may never be (even if we assume that the big bang theory itself won't be replaced by some other origin theory in the future, and not to mention what happened "before" the big bang, which may be even more impenetrable still).

But even were there to be some comprehensive "theory of everything" (in the larger sense), that doesn't mean the why of it has been explained, as there'll still be open questions like: "why something rather than nothing?" or "why this universe and not another?"

"But," some may object, "I just wanted to know why radiation propagates as it does, not why there's something instead of nothing." Well, I'm afraid that science can't answer your little question without answering the big questions. Religion or philosophy might, but they're also seen as unsatisfactory to many, so such why questions might never be answerable to everyone's satisfaction.

Harder questions, like those about consciousness, are even less likely to be satisfactorily answered, as touching them immediately lands one in to the morass of assumptions, definitions, points of view, and perspectives.

Half the time people are completely speaking past each other because they've never agreed on or even stated what their definitions or assumptions are, so are going off about two or more completely different things. Consciousness itself is notoriously difficult to define, so when two or more people are talking about something that they "know it when they see it," they're bound to talk past each other half the time, whether they agree or disagree.

Some philosophers are better at setting the ground rules and making their fundamental assumptions and defintions explicit, but they're usually pretty balkanized, and you'll find plenty of other philosophers disagreeing with their assumptions and definitions.

I personally see little hope of this thorny problem ever being resolved to everyone's satisfaction, but there'll surely be plenty of arguing about it until the end of time.
If you're script blocking, hcaptcha also only requires one reload of the page as opposed to two for Google (enabling Google then enabling Gstatic)
This is really cool! It doesn’t have much of a use case for me I don’t think, but regardless I find it super awesome. Nice work!
I've worked remotely for a long time. Availability is basically the only thing I've found can't be compromised on. In fact, I've found being more available is the easiest way to be recognized. It's particularly important with a distributed team across timezones.

I think it's a fair trade-off. I get my work done on my schedule, then help people get there's done when they need me - even if that's not "core hours". The benefit is no one cares if I spend sometime during the day running errands, getting lunch, or exercising - as long as I can respond to them in a reasonable amount of time.
Generally speaking, once a fund reaches the level outperformance of ARK, they underperform the market. Only time will tell if she was just lucky or actually had any kind of edge. It's usually the former.

I have a 40 hour contract.

I could reduce my hours official and getting the percentage amount less.

I try to reach 40h.

I cat follow your argument? Should u just start stealing because no one is controlling me?

There should always be something to clean up, automate, make nicer or learning about something business relate (can be Technologie).

We have headcounts or we had no more budget for one person more. So I would prefer this headcount to be filled with someone good and working 40h because if you work 20 I could try to get someone else additional doing the other 20.

Is is so much different in all other companies or why is this brought up so often?
I used to work in a busy downtown area of the east bay and we used to get a lot of the loud bike with loud stereo rolling through. What other possible motivation could there be for such a thing than wanting the attention? South Park hit the nail on the head with their loud motorcycle episode.

As for the cameras, I’ll echo the sentiments of a sibling comment. You don’t want them. I lived in AZ in the mid 00’s when these things were everywhere. They mostly serve to disrupt the natural flow of traffic and caused people to make dangerous sudden stops when they should have proceeded through a yellow lights. Also, many are operated by third parties who take a cut and charge a fee to run them. If they fail to produce enough revenue they become a financial liability to the city, which will either monkey with signal time to increase ticket revenue or simply remove the camera.
Not only do cloud services offer better compute capabilities (and GPUs/TPUs etc), but they offer easier reproduciblity and sharing. Even when I hack on stuff myself, Colab is quick and easy to set up, no worrying about Docker or virtualenvs.
I hope you are recovering well.

Honestly not sure what your point is. Are you saying that for someone who is infected that the probability of not giving it to others around you is not very high?

The gist of what I'm saying is that even if you think that your chances of dying, or even inconvenience, from the virus is extremely low, your ability to control its spread to others is also pretty low. Meaning that you can become a vector to someone who is at high risk. So people going to corona-parties thinking only about the impact on themselves is reckless and selfish.

you will always need security - so anything cyber will do.

AI as a term is heavily and inappropriately used, but there is no doubt this field is solid. it just happens that everyone try to leverage it as a buzzword.

anything scientific is pretty secure as well. data science, analyitics, statistics, etc. some remarkably interesting (most must be boring jobs imo although I like the field in general)

and of course there's automation - he who controls automation controls the world. or at least and usually highly capable to generate passive income.

then there are semi-cs jobs, the computer part without the science, such as art although many design, graphics, gaming, etc. roles are pretty technical. entertainment industry ain't going no where that's for sure.
I don’t know enough about this fund to agree or disagree, but I will say that this “selling to take profits” idea mentioned in the article really rubs me the wrong way: in my experience that’s not something people interested in long term plays do.
The world is so unfair to billionaires.

look man. i get it. you want ease of use, the same reason you have "browser sync" capability enabled when you only use your laptop to surf internet. I get it.
I have successfully trained my family, over 5 years now to use keepass. they keep one file on their phone, all changes to their logins go into that file and often that file gets dumped to a secure backup. it works.
I get the whole excitement about centralized passwords, quick one click logins, zip zip and all but the sad fact is, it takes 2 seconds to copy paste from keepassdroid which is on github if you are concerned about "random developer". without internet access, whats the best this app developer can do? delete files? oh my.

the multi user support is fine but 90 of users have just a bunch of email logins they need to keep rotating. you shouldnt carry your important credentials like bank codes and stuff on live anyways so whats the big deal if you have to remember to rotate a file every 3 months or so? or is that a big deal and being too lazy want to subject yourself to hacks and bugs that will leak data? good luck to you
Its pretty straightforward as a software engineer to find another gig within the company. But aerospace engineers are going to have a harder time of it. Alphabet has been winding down aerospace projects pretty consistently over the last several years.
Always disgusting to see every kind of major building in (Western?) cities smeared by graffiti etc, be it in use (and under constant cleaning) or disused (ghost stations...). There's zero appreciation of the building itself, the expenses for its construction/upkeep or the possibility of putting it into use again, preserving the structure and materials in the best way possible. It's what I always notice first about this type of documentation, it's quite disappointing.
I'm very sincerely sorry for your loss :(

The book Love and Death by Forest Church was VERY helpful to me and I recommend it highly. It's written by a pastor who was terminally ill, but it isn't focused on religion (although it's a factor).

I lost my mom as a teenager and I'm 43 now so have some perspective on death, but I don't know your pain as it's yours. Here are the things I'm telling myself in case any of it is useful?...

I am thankful for the time I did have. I know that I will lose everything I love in this world when either I die or they die (best case). This means my capacity for loss and love are perfectly symmetrical, so I face loss with gratitude. I do not throw a tantrum that I didn't get more, as I am grateful to have had that love at all.

I know humanity at its best functions like one organism, and that organism deploys love to fill voids of sadness (as is happening in this comment section). If I look I find that in other areas of life as well, my friends, family and community at their best react to loss by loving each other more. Along those lines I work hard to have no unfinished business with anyone. The people I love know it because I have those awkward talks with them where I make sure they know it. At any moment I am able to face my own death or the death of others with peace. I don't have to be perfect in this regard, just my best.

I do not honor those that are lost with sadness. I honor them with celebration as that's what they want and deserve. Their life and my love for them was vibrant and beautiful and I must remember it for all of that. When I think back on good times with those that are gone and smile or even laugh I know their energy wherever it is, is alive.

I wish you the best on your journey.

It's unfortunate that the Apple cult has enough power on YC to downvoted anything that's not positive towards it. Sad that only pro-Apple opinions are allowed here.
Obviously it would be a bad idea to say that you're here "to work" because the implication is that you're doing local work of some sort. If you're not going to a conference, having business meetings, etc. and were mostly going to be vacationing with a little email or other remote work on the side I assume you would get a tourist visa. There is certainly no indication on the US site that you're not allowed to spend any time working remotely. The idea that someone would be allowed to enter the country for meetings and conferences but isn't allowed to spend a morning doing email simply doesn't make sense.

And US citizens have visa-free travel to Schengen which allows for either tourist or business activities.
You must rest and disconnect, or you're not being as productive and creative as you think you are.

lol. are you serious? most people give the choice between no/little work and a lot if work will go with no work.
A few million isn't enough to do those things, though.
It's speculation, marketing, and size (as you suggest). Ambiguous words like "innovation" help them build a lot of FOMO for their holdings.
We don't need to "convince" any of them. The nice part about a democracy is that if enough people decide that this is important, we can elect politicians who already support it, then they can make laws which corporations and lobbyists have to follow.
In this specific instance, the author gave a written exemption to literally everyone, in public -- specifically to allow them to self-host and modify it

that may be the case, but that makes it a custum exemption that is not vetted by lawyers. for my personal use that my be ok, but for my company it is not, no matter how small my company is, i just can't take the risk. not only the risk getting sued, which indeed may be minimal, if non-existant, but also the risk that any of my current or worse future business partners, investors or clients have less trust in an unvetted license than me.

and from a client perspective, i do not want to deal with a business that doesn't take licensing seriously.

the difference between a big company ignoring licenses and me is, that a big business can afford to deal with getting caught, but if i am wrong, i am ruined.
IBM J9 has something called the JIT server. My understanding that JIT is done is one process and then provided as a service to clients (other processes)

Never used it though, so no idea how it works in practice.
Saved me a click
Their response on twitter [1]:

"The recaptcha, when it shows up (in rare situations), is sandboxed so that it doesn't send any data to Google. We are also in the process of replacing it with hcaptcha."

Not sure what possible sandboxing they could be referring to - if they load the captcha in an iframe from a different origin then it is true that Google's javascript can't access things on the Protonmail origin, but the concern seems to be that your data is sent to Google (which is still happening even with sandboxing, their tweet cannot be correct), not that Google's recaptcha javascript would have done something malicious on the Protonmail origin (which seems unlikely).

In any case, at least they're moving to hcaptcha.

I don't think it's irrelevant. If the current population is on board with adopting a more equitable relationship with the other cultures bthat were here first, then that stands a better chance at succeeding.
I like this. My workflow is: grab a screenshot, drop it into Adobe XD or Photoshop and fumble around in those tools for 30-45 minutes until I get, roughly, what I'm after.

I just tested out NextUX and was able to re-organize a page in about 5 minutes. Impressive!

Congrats on the launch!
The irony that I'm reading this on Substack is not lost on me.
So what are we actually looking at with some of these? Other than convincing looking fakes, heavily deformed offspring that resemble a bit of both species?
Even as recent as 5 years ago I liked the idea of a captchas. I still understand the purpose behind them but recently I've started getting really annoyed by them(whether that be reCaptcha or hcaptcha or anything else). They are just everywhere and it gets incredibly tedious to have to solve one every odd click or so. And it gets even worse if you use a vpn or tunnel or god forbid tor: there's no way to solve them there AT ALL. Which is the sad part: despite the tons of innovation in ML, captchas seem to rely on recursion of hardcoded rules which pile up indefinitely the moment you step outside your "start your computer and open up a browser" behavior. Kind of sad considering the abundance of information browsers pass on with each request.
I removed all recruiters and similar, leaving only people I know and (mostly) other engineers... And even then I basically only check the notifications anyhow.

So I consider myself fortunate; by not taking LinkedIn that seriously, I've avoided a lot of... awkwardness, to put it nicely.
You also forgot negative gearing. Investment losses can only be adjusted in the us on sale. In Australia real estate losses via negative can even offset income. I know folks who have a field day with this!
Ironically I can't even read this due to the login wall.

I hate the social media aspect of LinkedIn so much. I don't want to validate you , I don't think physical appearance was any role in the hiring process, but LinkedIn keeps telling me to upload a picture.

It's still the best way to find a job, but I try to avoid the social aspects.

I second that. personally I really got into XR. I wanted WebXR specifically but it just isn't there just yet. maybe next year! for now I'm with Unity.

but generally anything WebSomethingSomething is a good starting point!
nope. someone being able and willing to do “insane” things for a bigger piece of the pie should not make this the norm. should people that are one paycheck away from

That really sounds like the ideal schedule to me.
like so much in our economy, healthcare suffers from the same poor market dynamics as the labor market. being tied to full employment is only one of its ills (it need not necessarily be universal, but rather universally affordable). the healthcare market is extractive and collusive rather than competitive and fair. we must fix those things first, largely through political pressure and policy changes (like tax reform and eliminating distortive subsidies). otherwise, it remains extractive and collusive and wealth keeps funneling to the same poor allocators of capital and away from working folks who are collectively good allocators of capital (via ‘wisdom of crowds’). good capital allocation instills competition, drives down prices, and incentivizes real innovation (vs. the financial/legal kind).

ubi would do something similar. it could never be big enough to change systemic issues, so would result in a funneling of the distributed wealth back to the capital holders, with no structural change other than inflation and rents going up.

so there’s no magic bullet. we need to make thousands of policy changes, all aimed at making markets fair and competitive foremost.
Recently, study results were in the press (e.g. https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/pisa-studie-lesen-fakten...) according to which the young have more and more trouble distinguishing between facts and opinions. And everyone and their dog seems to have an opinion on everything, whether they understand any of the subject matter or not (people even seem to resent it when you have relevant qualifications and point them out). So it's no surprise that there are random votes.
Yes, being possible and being performant are two very different things.

What I intended to convey in my previous comment was that using strategies like pre-compilation (eg. Spring EL) it is possible to get good performance even for dynamic logic not known at runtime.

So I was curious what was so dynamic about this use case that JVM performance drops down to pythonesque level.

I don't want to speculate - maybe there is something that JVM is unable to optimize; maybe it is something weird happening in the library; or maybe python has gotten really better in recent past or this use case was able to benefit from some python lib with native bindings.
> Superstar engineer only works a couple hours per day?

Replace the superstar with someone working "normal" hours but in a time zone offset by >= 5 hours to your own. You seem to be saying that cooperation with such people cannot work. But that is simply not true, many companies do make it work.

Is it always easy? No. But it can work very well.
Oh, no. That would be reasonable. If he used Telegram saved messages, that'd be actually funny.
While I agree that the wake-up feature you described is not available from Apple directly, I bet there's a 3rd party app out there that does what you're asking.

I use the Apple alarm now and when if I go to sleep with my watch on, it will gently buzz on my wrist and get more forceful until I turn it off. The sensors to track sleep are all on the device, but Apple doesn't seem to have any interest in building a "sleep cycle" tracker at this time for whatever reason.

A cursory search turns up the "Sleep Cycle" app[0] with a ton of reviews and even an "Editors Choice" award. Maybe Apple is holding their horses until they 100% nail the implementation, but if you can live with 90% in the meantime, it would probably be worth it to you if this is a thing you're really wanting in your morning routine.

Read the original report carefully. The wording is important, and as usual, it's not making any direct assertions. Someone says "we have intelligence suggesting.." or "there are reports from sources...". Both of those statements can be 100% true: someone does have a report that says such and such thing. But nowhere does anyone make hard claims about the veracity of those reports, or even the reliability of unnamed source.

It's a leak, purposely calculated to suggest something is true without every committing to making it verifiable.
> Time travel makes Causality impossible

No, it makes the idea that causal sequence and temporal sequence are identical and that the former mapped against the latter can’t have cycles impossible.

Making causality more complex than we'd like to think it is isn't making it impossible.
They can arrive out of order so you still have to deal with rewinding an re'simulating' the whole sequence of moves since the skipped packet then dealing with resolving the client vs server when they disagree.
