Caveat: I am not an expert, happy to be corrected on any of this.

The thing to understand is that amplitudes are not actually just probabilities. For a single qubit, they are a pair of complex numbers a and b such that |a|^2+|b|^2=1. If you force a and b to be positive real numbers, then they really can be thought of as (square roots of) probabilities, and knowing one determines the other. However, since they can be complex, there are actually three real degrees of freedom, not one.

On the face of it, it’s not really clear what this buys you since measurement does force these complex numbers into their plain old, squared-norm probability. The interesting part is that there are quantum computational operations which only make sense in the complex world; there’s no way to realize them in the vanilla “probabilistic computing” world (that is, where all amplitudes are positive real).

Where things really start to get interesting is with “entanglement” of qubits, where now you have complex linear combinations of all possible n-bit states (where again the squared-norms must sum to 1). If you think of these linear combinations as elements of C^{2^n}, then quantum gates can be thought of as matrices acting on this space. Again, the “secret sauce” here is when you have gates that don’t come from classical computation (permutation matrices) or even probabilistic computation (real matrices with positive coefficients).
I feel bad for the guy who got ostracized by you and your entire friend group because he occasionally did speed and admitted to it. I understand your situation but I also think at some point you need to be able to stand on your own two feet without taking such drastic measures. Strength is both being able to walk away and then to say no in the face of temptation.

I say this as someone who abused drugs when I was younger and came from an extremely abusive family environment.
There is a subreddit about this: r/RedditAlternatives. Trouble is, most of them end up being dominated by the alt-right/hate mobs.

Interesting that you want something that is specifically not just a reddit knock off. I actually think that a Reddit knock off focussed on discussion (say, like hacker news, but with subreddits) would do well.
What does that have to do with anything? Do you suggest you can transport electricity in oil pipelines?

Are the just reformulating the principles of evolution in digital terms, and essentially not providing any new insights at all?

Yes, intelligence has been created by evolution. That doesn't imply that any system that is subject to evolutionary forces will lead to the creation of intelligence (and not within a reasonable timeframe, either). The challenge is to create a system that is capable of evolving intelligence.

Afaik some biologists even think that the evolution of intelligence was rather unlikely and would not necessarily happen again under the same circumstances as on earth.
I'm a bit surprised by this...

There are only a finite number of people who commit crimes like this, and if you can find them at any point after they have committed one or more crimes, you ought to be able to arrest them.

It therefore doesn't really matter the size of the crime - it still enables an arrest of someone who might be involved in large numbers of crimes both big and small, but that you couldn't arrest before for lack of evidence they are involved in crime.

In many cases smaller crimes will be less well concealed too (hiding stuff costs money, paying more middlemen costs money, not worth it for smaller crimes)
Also had to do the same. The method of disabling it, while not immediately obvious, didn't seem intentionally user-hostile. However, the idea of modifying any part of a user's desktop without their explicit input is troubling to say the least.
Honestly, this blog post is incredibly, incredibly bad advice (well intentioned) but still really bad. The average organisation doesn't operate this way.

If you make yourself disposable you are far far more likely to be disposed of then promoted in 9 out of 10 companies.

I would even go as far and as cynical to say that if the documentation you create is so good you will just be replaced with by cheaper staff, outsourced or freelancers/contractors.

edit: honestly, the worst advice i have ever read on HN in like 10 years. you relationship with your employer is based on leverage, if you make yourself too disposable you are skewing the balance of power against yourself.

fwiw i am always a happy to provide basic docs and support to team members but i'm not going to document or automate myself out of a job. i've seen it happen too many times.

This comment doesn't deserve to be downvoted. I came to this thread holding this exact view. The ensuing discussion changed my mind. It's honestly asked and respectfully answered, the stuff this community is made of.
Yes, let a userbase that is dominated by american, white, middle-class people determine what is time well spent. I'm sure that's gonna be applicable to everyone in the world.

> Infinite scroll is a dark pattern in the way it gives you something your addicted brain wants, and therefore you think you might want, but it's actually just a way for them to get more money.

Dark patterns are particular UI patterns that are of a certain objective type regardless of whether or not the user is an addict.

Infinite scroll is not in the list.

Slot machines are addictive and are designed to get people to play as much and as long as possible, but they assiduously avoid dark patterns because people will avoid machines that pull that sort of bullshit and choose ones that don't.
People use Office and Adobe products. Sometimes you need a lot of functionality in your application which goes beyond simple swipe UIs.
This seems far from clear. Just because a system is capable of turing complete computation does not imply that a generic state of the system will typically eventually produce intelligence or even something which is sophisticated in some sense.

As a trivial example, consider a variation of Conway's game of life which, in addition to black and white cells, also has green cells, where any cell next to one or more green cells will be a green cell in the next time step. A generic state in such a variation will have at least one green cell, and therefore all parts of it will eventually be green, and so no useful long running computation will be done, certainly none which takes where the green cells are into account. But, such a system would still be turing complete, because one could start in a state in which there are no green cells, and in those states you just have Conway's game of life.

That trivial example works as an existence proof, but even for less extreme cases it isn't clear.
Consider ordinary conway's game of life. To paraphrase a question from Alex Flint on Alignment Forum (https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/3SG4WbNPoP8fsuZgs/agenc... ) Suppose we have some 10^50 by 10^50 square where an agent is supposed to be implemented, and this 10^50 by 10^50 square is at the top left corner of a, say, 10^100 by 10^100 square, where the rest of the square is initialized randomly, is it even possible for the agent to be such that it has a high chance of successfully influencing the large scale state of the rest of the 10^100 by 10^100 region in the way that is desired? It isn't clear. It isn't clear that a structure can withstand the interactions with a surrounding chaotic region. Perhaps some systems are such that they do allow Turing-complete computation, and are such that typical states result in complex behavior, but are also such that all really structured behavior is always very "fragile", and can only continue in a structured way if what interacts with it is in a small set of possible interactions.

To be capable of Turing complete computation, is not, I think, sufficient for "life" (a self-maintaining thing) to arise from typical/generic states, even when under the assumption that typical/generic states lead to continually complex behavior (to exclude the spreading green cells case)

Also, I don't think we can confidently say that the Plank time is "the universal frame rate". Better to refer to Bremermann's limit and the Margolus–Levitin theorem , though these bounds depend on the amount of energy available. (10^33 operations per second per joule, where the energy is the average energy of the system doing the computation)

"Scientists can't explain mechanism behind neurological representational drift" allows for individuals that understand the terminology to skip reading the article.

That's not a good headline, i'm not a journalist -- but the concept of withholding information crucial to the story while using hyperbole in a generic enough way to still be factually accurate to attract both experts and laymen alike to read an article (and more importantly to generate ad-revenue, who cares about readership!?) is the definition of clickbait.

Here's my own rule of thumb : If I have to read an article to understand the broad premise, the headline failed it's job journalistically; even if it gets all the hits and ad revenue in the world.

This was some comfort years ago, but these days, the vast majority of reddit users are mobile and new-reddit, whose UX's favor more meme/video mindless scrolling and throwaway comments. So while the old reddit experience is there in looks it feels more hollow nowadays. You go into a common interest subreddit and where 8 years ago you might have found interesting discussions now it's all memes, inspiration photos, etc.
> towards understanding natural intelligence, a prerequisite for creating an artificial one.

I've thought about this before, and I'm not convinced it's really prerequisite. Naturally developed intelligence in my mind may actually be highly constrained and inefficient because it was limited to what was biologically feasible. i.e. There may be simpler ways of achieving comparable results. Natural intelligence does however have the benefit of being an actual working model, but deciphering the blackbox may be just as hard as developing a working theory from first principles.

> actually, it's "Scientists have a bad day at work."

I have read/watched quite a few occasions where scientists (mostly physicists) show child like excitement describing a newly encountered phenomenon that they can't fit in the current model. My grasp of contemporary physics is next to nothing but my guess is the scientists get excited because it opens up an unchartered path. It's an opportunity to expand the envelop of knowledge.

> I mean, you're basically arguing against property taxes.

Not really. You’re saying it is no issue that tax goes up proportionally to house value, I’m saying it is much more onerous than, say, your income tax increasing with income.

Also, if the end objective is “pay tax to local government and make it so that wealthier people pay more”, there are tons of ways of doing it without this anti-feature. Slice of income tax, tax depending on property size (not price) etc.
I believe that the missing point there is the expectation that those stocks will _eventually_ pay dividends.
I consider Tesla's $10,000 surcharge (that may reset when you sell the used car) to be quite scammy as well. I doubt I'll ever own a self-driving car, because I will never pay that kind of premium for full self driving. Either on an hourly basis or up front. Frankly, it seems cheaper just not have a car and to hail a cab/uber/lyft whenever I need one.

If cars driving themselves will asymptotically approach say 90%, 95% or 99% or situations it can handle, then the car that also handles the last few situations will be very attractive. That's the car that can drive me home from the bar, or that a blind person can own. The 90-99% cars are still for able bodied people with licenses.

At some price point, it will always be a lot cheaper to add humans than it is to make the cars "self driving". And the last % I'm almost certain will never be cheap enough for autonomy.

They can. But it would be very expensive to replace more than 20 years of domain experience.
Wait no, that can't be true. Finite state machines are only as powerful as regular expressions; you need pushdown automata even for programming languages, surely you can't model natural language with finite state machines? (maybe an infinite number of them, but I'm doubtful even on that - I'd have to review the theory to be sure though)

This puts Nebula in a relatively small group of what I would call true self-hosted overlay networks (by the definition of "self-hosted" I subscribe to). Kudos for that.

What drew my attention was the remote IP address in

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/slackhq/nebula/master/remo...

No idea why that is there.

Anyway, while I would not necessarily choose to run Nebula myself (I prefer smaller overlay networks, for example), it is certainly an exception to the pattern I see in so many other "self-hosted" peer-to-peer projects. I apologise if the comment I submitted implied otherwise.

Note I never suggested innernet "runs on Nebula". The words I used were "innernet relies on Nebula." Of course, that, too, is incorrect. The blog post was just comparing innernet to Nebula. My bad! I am just too cynical about peer-to-peer projects since so many fall into the same patterns I dislike; hence I skimmed where I should have read more closely.

Technically, yes. However, if the certificate is used with With HAproxy or any other solution that provides a stapled OCSP response from some kind of cache (e.g. as a file updated by cron), it is possible to avoid the outage completely by fetching the fresh OCSP response every day, and not updating the on-disk copy if it says "bad". This way, the old but still valid copy is served to customers while the system takes the necessary steps to renew the certificate.

When multiple regions are actually needed to work together to support a function as a network, then this shows up in the lesion and injury data also. There's also a lot of data from surgeries to address severe seizures.

There's some difficulties, such as if the brainstem is also involved in a function, then it's hard to tell because when the brainstem is damaged you're usually too dead to test the function. But I think if you started studying the brain without any prejudices about localization of function, you'd still end up finding a huge amount of it.
