My thoughts on this after working with a lot of Founder‘s both in technical and more traditional businesses is that you definitely can but it’s rare and it’s important to get a team around you I will keep making progress and are also motivated I’m moving forward.

No matter what for sales and marketing you’re going to at least have to pretend that what you’ve created is valuable and meaningful Dash so if you can find someone who can help you communicate that maybe eventually you’ll be able to convince yourself it’s about more than money.

I also wouldn’t be down on yourself and think that the only thing you can do is building software Dash there are many other things that you can quickly learn to do and will benefit from the mindset and skills that you’ve learned as a software developer.
Would it not surprised you if you learned that the program you wrote in C++ and compiled to machine code would produce "subjective" feelings in the CPU when executed?
I don't need it. I install games by clicking on the provided .sh installer, then click on their desktop icon to start them (or find the app using shortcuts) and all of this is seamless on Ubuntu.

This is also how we used to install and play games on Windows, before the Steam era.

To respond to your edit, I don't quite understand what you're getting at. It's quite well understood how the brain represents touch - all the sensory neurons in your skin send information to a brain region which maintains a spacial representation of your body.

Your brain isn't sensitive to touch because it's inside your skull, so that touch information wouldn't do a whole lot for you. There's no reason in principal a brain couldn't have pressure sensitive neurons inside of itself or on its surface.
2: the word ‘antisemite’ was popularised by German trade unionist and pamphleteer Wilhelm Marr who wanted to have a fancier, and thus more acceptable, scientific name for Judenhass (‘Jew hate’). The word has only ever been used to refer to anti-Jewish racism.

The word ‘Semite’ is a product of the abhorrent ‘race science’ of the time in Europe that purported to divide up peoples according to pseudo-scientific fashion of the time. It is only now used in the field of linguistics where eg. Arabic and Hebrew are both Semitic languages. This has nothing to do with antisemitism.

This is also why we write it as one word rather than hyphenated with a capital S.
I mean, the brain isn't sensitive to touch because it doesn't contain the kind of mechanoreceptors that our nervous system uses to detect that kind of stimulus, which seems like a perfectly sufficient explanation here.

> Vichy did represent French sentiment at the beginning.

No, not really. The Vichy regime was the dictatorship puppet regime imposed onto the remaining french territory after the third republic was dissolved, and enacted policies imposed by Nazi germany such as rounding up Jews to hand them over to them. It grossly misrepresents the french sentiment of the time to even suggest that France suddenly had a change in heart and decided to not only accept Nazi Germany as it's political and ideological compass but also jump enthusiastically and head-on onto the Holocaust to the point of eclipsing even Franco's Spain.

Imagine a stripe colored in white which after at some point transitions gradually into black. Let's also say that when it's white it's 100% white and when it's black it's 100% black.

It's hard to say when it started transitioning and when it ended, but if you your probe points are far enough from the transition you can say a transition actually occurred.

I did RTFA but it kind of reads like FUD. Cheaper solar is bad because we don't have enough battery capacity? Huh. Guess I am too dumb to get it.

I've been thinking a lot about getting a house recently. So far my plan is to cover as much roof area as possible with solar panels for both hot water and electricity. It's not going to be cheap. Unless the EU helps with some subsidies. That's my only hope because I know for a fact the Bulgarian government would rather "invest" in more coal.
Following your logic: 'French girls were fully permitted to go out but there was just a process to follow - presence of a chaperon.'

Seriously, just open Wikipedia and read about different countries e.g.: In the United States, paternity testing is fully legal, and fathers may test their children without the consent or knowledge of the mother. Paternity testing take-home kits are readily available for purchase, though their results are not admissible in court and are for personal knowledge only.
There are schools that are much more oriented (or have programs that are much more oriented) towards people who are working or are otherwise not attending school full time. I'm not sure I can really fault the average undergrad program for orienting things towards the 95% case situation. (Some schools are also much more commuter-oriented than others are.)
Full Self-Driving, that's an outright lie. They are not even remotely close to full self-driving let alone to charge money for it today.

The things that happen when a program execute are all emergent behavior, but it's behavior that is well understood and we know everything about how it emerges.

It's all just that, a "behavior". Things that move. Signals propagate across wires. Pixels light up. All the is well understood.

Consciousness is nothing like that.

Purely materialist explanations, you mean? Platonic dualism, as advocated by folks like Max Tegmark, isn't non-physicalist. And it needn't be dualist even — if the world is made of math and the materials emerge by implication.

Conversely, I don't even have a bachelor's degree in CS, and I haven't suffered at all because of it. I got a job offer before graduating, and decided my time was better spent earning money than learning stuff I would probably never have any use for.

Rather than focusing on degrees, I think it's a lot more important to focus on learning, however you don't know what's important to learn until you actually start working on real problems.

Pretty tangential, but since you mentioned poker I do wonder if the big players are using the data from their players as input to a machine learning model.

It seems like incredibly well labelled data since you know every action taken, and the outcome.
I don't think it's hard to extrapolate from current conditions. Corporations are currently quite powerful - they control the main lever of politics, which is money. They are already using those levers to bend governments to their will, and utilizing pet governments to produce favorable tax conditions in certain countries to reduce their contribution to others. Eventually, there will be small governments that are almost entirely puppet states of large corporations. Eventually those corporate states will grow and consolidate and you'll live in a world where corporations have as much or more power than some small legitimate countries, then some medium ones, then eventually some large ones, and finally more power than anyone else.

Corporations like amazon and google might not be self-perpetuating due to the entropy concentration inherent in companies that get that large but imagine if you had a organization of that size controlled by an AI officer team. It'll happen, just a matter of how long it takes.
My impression is that most countries either withhold taxes correctly, or send you a bill at the year end without you having to file, unless if you have a complex setup like owning a business.
We badly need legislation to force the IRS to send every taxpayer a bill which they can pay.

They certainly have enough information from employers, banks, estimated payments from contractors, etc. Otherwise, how would they decide who to audit? How would they know to mail you an adjusted return for a past year?

It feels completely ridiculous that we need to calculate these things ourselves, only to be bugged by the agency for entering the wrong numbers. Just tell us what you think the bill is, and let us make a counter-claim if we think you're wrong!

But this has been true for years, decades. I'm not holding my breath.
misunderstanding goto is cargo cult programming.

I really hate that show, but along those lines I have sometimes wondered if when we are studying theoretical mathematics, are we actually discovering principals about how the universe works, or are we really mapping principals of how the brain processes information without realizing it.

Yes, having government involved always creates inflation. It's no coincidence that the two areas with most government involvement, education and health care, are the things that have outpaced every other measure of inflation significantly.
Possibky zero. Your body produces plenty of sugars even if you don’t eat any, because your brain and other parts need them to function. What’s unclear to me is how much sugar cancers need to thrive and if the baseline your body naturally produces isn’t already above that line.
This solution isn’t ignored because it’s boring, but because it isn’t rigorous enough. If consciousness just is an emergent property of the function of neural cells, define function, define neural cells? What is the lowest level of complexity of each that allows consciousness? Why only neural cells, that is if it is only neural cells at all?

By the anthropic principle it is a given that consciousness arises from the function of neural cells, but that isn’t a satisfying answer because it doesn’t actually answer anything.
IQ has never been linked to intelligence, considered there is no agreed upon definition for intelligence.

You had the choice because all the processes that determine your actions happened in your brain, which is a part of you: you are not a puppet controlled from outside.

What is your conception of free will? Is it just "randomness"?

If your actions are not determined by your thoughts and desires .. then they would just be completely random. How is that "free" will?

One of the things I want to do before I die is to acquire an authentic knowledge of classical Indian philosophy (particularly the monistic idealistic strands of thought in it) and the modern scientific account of reality, and evaluate for myself how their claims fare against that of the other.

I don't understand why more Indians and particularly Hindus are not doing this. This looks to me like a thrilling intellectual and even spiritual adventure, and one of the few things that are truly worth doing in life.
Or, most people’s subjective experience provides constant overwhelming evidence of the contrary.
It depends on your utility function, of course. Will flying to the moon or climbing a mountain bring you closer to the things you value?

The urge is a bug if it doesn't match the things you value. The urge is not a bug if it matches the things you value.

With some fat margin for uncertainty around 'matching the things you value' because that's hard to quantify.

Utility functions can have 'axiomatic values' in them. Not everything you value is deduced from underlying principles.

We are still not sure, but probably your decisions aren't real.
This is not true at all. The rule of law, within the confines of the judicial system, does NOT define truth. The system weighs evidence and determines whether the preponderance of evidence indicates guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Someone could murder someone, but due to lack of evidence they are found “not guilty”. But that’s not the same as “the truth is this person did not commit murder”. It’s simply a finding that the state didn’t prove its case.
I don't find it that difficult, in fact yours is just as much of a belief as the one of the people you subtly criticize. You believe that the standard model and gravity (or whatever unknown theory that can have some experimental evidence to generalize both) are enough to model the behavior of human beings/animal as an "emergent" phenomena, even though there is no direct evidence for that. Even worse actually, there is no mathematical model.
Opportunity cost? You can also price the risk of ruin by increments towards the risk of ruin, and what you would pay in exchange for mitigating the risk to that extent.

> But facts are only facts if they correspond with that to which they refer, oftentimes other objects, so when you include facts, ultimately it boils down to external objects.

Only if ontological questions are legitimate questions about the world and not simply practical decisions about language. I, and many others, remain unconvinced.
In fairness, survivorship bias would apply to your anecdote - quite literally.
That's right. Things that we agree on being named the same we call 'real'.

Imagine this, say what everyone perceives as the color red I perceive it as what everyone else perceives as yellow. But since I have been taught the name of the colors by these people, I will end up matching the names of the colors although I am perceiving something very different.

This needs to be considered in debates on whether animals have consciousness, do they have an "I". The dominant popular belief is that they aren't. My question is, devoid of a common communication language how would you find out. Only thing we have is their observable external behavior. If that is consistent with the 'consciousness' hypothesis, then that's all we can say. In that case we have about as much evidence of presence of consciousness that a fellow human incapable of communicating with us in language as much as another animal say a dolphin. In both the cases its a hypothesis that explains externally observable behavior.

Till we find a way to listen into one's internal monologue this is pretty much all we can do.

I like Feynman's example of the 'inside of a brick' no one has seen that with an unaided human eye. Before other forms of sensing the 'inside' came along (X-ray, ultrasound, ...) it was just a hypothesis that fit observable experience. No one would have actually seen the inside of a brick. When you break it open, its no longer the 'inside'. That there is no 'inside' and that a new surface is formed by the be the act of breaking the brick could have been a plausible alternative hypothesis. Existence of an 'inside' is just a simpler hypothesis.

Thank you. This is the kind of information I come for on HN.
All things are separate until you dive as deep as we are now into physics, dividing things until you reach a universal field of 1. Then the model breaks and now we are trying to figure out what to do about that. Good news is we were prepared for the model to break. Consciousness is relative to the level of abstraction, as above so below. Observing the universe affects the universe.

Consciousness has sensors all the way down to atoms and yet we can have supremely evil people and supremely good and everything in between. Nature and nurture, we have philosophy to help us now that physics and stuck when everything divides down to the same one, we learn that killing your neighbor is like killing yourself. Some people kill their neighbor or themselves, others grow a community garden.

If you kill you neighbor you also kill your true self, all beings are of the the same consciousness, the goal is to individuate, to view the universe in new and novel ways, to teach others of the things you manage to bring back on your journey so that it manifests and propagates in this universe! We are not meant to observe we are meant to create!

That said our creations must follow the trinity of love, freedom, and truth otherwise the creations quickly devolve into implements of oppression to control the literal minds of the masses.
that's not accurate at all. look at the misleading medical information definition from Google

"Misleading content related to harmful health practices: Misleading health or medical content that promotes or encourages others to engage in practices that may lead to serious physical or emotional harm to individuals, or serious public health harm."

not only do they use the term misleading to define the term misleading, they clearly state any information that could cause serious public health harm is misleading. when people are screaming about vaccine misinformation they are often talking about discussing side effects of the vaccine, which causes hesitancy and therefore harm. if pressed for an example, they will pick up an absurd claim like 5g caused covid, but not the typical claims that the covid vaccine has reportedly killed thousands and injuries many more than that.

the labels disinformation, misinformation, misleading, potentially harmful are very orwellian, as many can take them to mean false information, but in fact these labels can be placed on perfectly true statements that are simply dissenting.
Yes, scatters it back out — that light does not enter the pupil or contribute to what that person sees (save probably a vanishingly small amount that is re-scattered in the cornea, which is totally de minimus).
This boring explanation is in the framework of classical physics. Quantum physics is very different. In QM, physical objects don't have definite states until observed. Any observation requires an observer. So, we have that states are relative to observers. But what is observer? It is our consciousness in the first place.
What you describe is only half the process, they don't know about your expenses and deductions, which is where most of the work is when preparing the tax return. Do you file your own taxes and do you itemize? It's not something I want the government to do for me.
