We can explain circulation in terms of physics. We can't explain consciousness in terms of physics. Even a cursory search will turn up scores of interesting articles about physics and the new science of consciousness as the next frontier. Another cursory search will turn up several very interesting quotes from famous and highly regarded physicists on the subject such as these:

“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.”

― Nikola Tesla

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as a derivative of consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing postulates consciousness.

-- Max Planck

I heard an interesting discussion once when it was said that the Catholic church allowed science to proceed as long as it stay out of the "spirit" realm and explored the material realm and we have been stuck in that mode ever since.
But that only defines human needs, and not whether a specific app is a need and/or whether it’s just a nice to have.

I could make the best new social network, which addresses a need, but hardly anyone really needs another social network.

So how do I distinguish between a need or a nice to have within this context?
Murder is generally bad, but making it generally impossible doesn't seem like a realistic goal though. IMO a slightly more approachable problem is the militarization of local police forces.
Colleges should not be churning out "programmers" with skills in one language. Trade schools would be better for that.

In college I learned theory and algorithms, and was exposed to half a dozen programming languages at least. I mastered none of them, that wasn't the point.

I'm thinking that the problem is is that it is much harder to develop drugs that only kill cancers very efficiently and don't harm the rest of the body than to tweak viruses that just have to keep the person alive long enough to spread the virus.
I actually thought the Question Time after the riots was the only time I’d ever seen that programme produce a useful debate.

It’s in the nature of the BBC that you’re not going to get opinionated independent research on issues which are political, they report directly relevant factual information, and then they report when someone else does follow up research, for instance this film produced by BBC Newsnight and the Guardian, based on research by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation:

I don't know, if you're fundamentally in the business of selling things, making it easy for customers to at least show you a clear intent to buy, and even better, backing that commitment with actual money, seems like a bit of a no brainer in many (most?) cases.

I appreciate supply may be the constraint rather than sales, but even more reason to lock in the sale now as best you can, as opposed to letting the customer go elsewhere in the meantime.

By the time your supply chain issues ease, sales then may become the constraint again (because people have moved on, the season has changed... whatever).

I don't discount your points about the time and effort required, but it doesn't seem clear cut to me that it's not worth doing.
Given the massive gap between what people should have for retirement and the little they actually save, they probably need that money for necessities. That's what most people using reverse mortgages use it for today.
I have literally seen an article before that said prodromal(pre/early onset) schizophrenia leads to Marijuana use, and I remember wondering at the time how they knew which way the causation went.

I'm also not sure if it's journalists wanting to push one narrative over the other, or just a lack of understanding.
I haven't done the math and I'm certainly not an expert, but my lay understanding is that the number of constellations is much more limited by spectrum frequency availability, rather than the space constraints in LEO.

That is, if we had an very large number of companies wanting to create satellite internet constellations, we would run out of useful EM spectrum before we would run out of LEO orbits.

I'm not positive about that, though!

That was the feeling a few months ago. But in the last 2 months, we have used zoom and other applications with very little drop outs. I have various TV stations running for hours at a time at high resolutions, and at the most there is a freeze frame for a split second once or twice every few hours.
Frankly, I have had more issues with all the other internet connections we still maintain, than with Starlink. (Zoom was always dropping out with the others.)
For example we have: (Slow) high speed DSL, (slow) high speed lte.
In all those the internet download speeds are very variable, start fast (5-12) dropping to 0.5-1 and going up and down over time.
Starlink maintains over 20 down, going up sometimes to over 30.
We are in the countryside in Canada, so true high speed doesn't exist. For now, Starlink is the most dependable high speed option. (What will happen when more subscribers will join all on the one satellite?)
If we hadn't already heavily invested in Jenkins (with a setup that's mostly portable between providers) that would be very interesting.
Yes, brush cutting, probably till the end of August or so. I have never logged bigger trees, and I would rather not do this either, for ethical reasons. (My logic: it feels sort-of OK to take care of trees already planted -- even though this is also part of the intensive forest management industry, and it helps to create monocultures --, but let's try to preserve as much of the older forests as we can.)

I'm in Eastern/Northern Europe, so the tree planting season ended here in July. There will be a tiny amount of planting work in the autumn as well, though.

For those interested, I watched and liked this documentary about tree planting in Canada (where it appears to be a huge industry). It's from the early 2010s, so I'm not sure about the money part -- my gut feeling says that maybe the "huge money days" are getting over for this industry. But, who knows. I have modest needs, so I do say that a skilled tree planter still makes good money, even in my (poor) country. Here's the 1-hour movie "78 days":

This was a great read. The history of human cognition is obviously fascinating and there is a lot written on subject for me to devour which is great. But what about his thoughts on hypnosis?

I guess it is not as sexy a topic as the history of the mind but his ideas about it are really intriguing. Been a year since I read the book, but hypnosis as painted in the book changes in form with peoples ideas about what hypnosis is, pretty much everything that people say about it is culturally determined and yet it still is real. People will themselves into into filling out these cultural forms where they are in a totally different cognitive state when in the right social context and most people just think of it as a party trick.
Read good books, but do so away from the computer; get used to running small-medium chunks of code in your head. I don't want to recommend any in particular because different styles of thinking and writing appeal to different people, but I suggest avoid the ones that emphasize speed or simplicity in the title.

Also, read lots of scientific papers. You'll learn all kinds of interesting stuff, but you'll also need to think about how you would implement their process if a scientist asked you for programming help. Nowadays many papers also come with access to their methods and/or a Github repository.

Because it's so common, you should learn some basic statistics in order to be able to better read things in context, even if you decide to use external tools or libraries to do statistics. I found 'Data Analysis with Open Source Tools' by Philipp Janert (O'Reilly) a great resource: it's language-agnostic, grounded in real-world practices, and assumes you want to solve problems using statistics (and other mathematical analysis tools) rather than treating the math as an end in itself. He includes much valuable context on how and why statistical concepts have evolved, and when you should stick with convention or experiment playfully. Most importantly, he enjoys math and does a good job of communicating his enthusiasm to the reader.

> I wore a sword at the time and no one had an issue with it.

Carrying a sword is, to the best of my internet research, perfectly legal in DC. Switchblades and concealable knives are right out (as well as it retroactively becoming illegal to carry the sword if they can demonstrate an intent to use it to harm someone.) Carrying a firearm is pretty tricky (and forbidden in federal buildings or in the middle of demonstrations).

That is, a sword is treated as a prop and a gun/switchblade/brass knuckles etc. are treated as weapons.
It's going to be difficult to have more evidence that someone else wrote it when a logged in user account she admits to using wrote it. I didn't do it, but yes, that is my account. The message seems consistent with ideology she seems to have.

Your understanding is correct. 1Password requires a key in addition to the master password. And finally, 1Password can have 2FA for itself, which is stored on my Authy. These are reasons why I am comfortable storing my 2FA codes on it.

So some guy trolled his political opponents on Twitter and got a kick out of all the outraged responses he was getting.

If there's an insight here, then probably: don't use Twitter; or, if you do use Twitter, don't follow people who troll their political opponents for fun; or, if you do follow such people, don't reply or you might end up egging them on.
But it's not like you need to downvote. If you can't be bothered to figure out why you're downvoting, maybe you just shouldn't.
>Secondly "insurrection" is only really used (in my experience and from what I've seen in history) when talking about actual attempts to overthrow said authority.

This explains it to me, but is why I disagree with the insurrection label. If armed people really wanted to "kill/hang" politicians and marched into the capitol with the intent to overthrow the government, I (and imo most people) would assume they'd use their weapons/be way more aggressive. You don't go for an insurrection, weapon in hand, and the worse that can be seen is someone having a selfie in Kamala's (?) office/people getting stomped. IMO if you can argue whether someone died from that protest, then it wasn't an insurrection, or else there would be no doubt about it.

Tldr; as far as I've seen there was not enough violence to show that they were going for an insurrection. At most it's a protest that escalated (as a lot of protests do, see BLM), which doesn't warrant the outrage it's getting.
Because they were fabricating sales numbers, channel stuffing, misreporting expenses...Autonomy was a fraud, the numbers weren't real, the CFO is already doing time.
> I'm guessing the person you're replying to doesn't do their full time job for free and just accepts donations from their employers, either.

Eh, this is a false dichotomy of one can either be charitable or transactional in the entirety of the interactions in their lives.

In other words, your guess happens to be correct (gainful employment is not a mathematical rarity after all) but still provides no counterargument.

OPs claim was expecting anything with value without transacting something back was entitlement. My counterargument was that there exists charity and non-transactionality in many contexts.

The condition of anything requiring non-trivial capital is also wrong. We often pool tax money to render capital and services for things we don’t have direct, personal use of. And I am not saying this is necessarily charity, after all it is an obligation, but most folks don’t go after the particular line items of how their money is spent.
This reminds me of some articles that came out when the states sued the tobacco companies in the 1990s. Many asked why the US federal government did not sue as well, and the answer turned out to be that smoking is good for the federal government finances. It tends to kill people quickly (heart attack) just after they retire and start collecting social security.
The process of getting from nice to have to need is called marketing.
Using the rasterized fonts is very much an edge case these days. I'd also note that back when I used to manage this on University systems (in the days before dvips would automatically call mf to generate needed fonts), it was often the case that at lower resolutions (<600dpi), the CM code often ran into errors from the necessary mode_def parameters. Xerox printers were especially troublesome because they used a "write white" strategy for printing. A "write black" printer (e.g., the classic HP LaserJet), marked the page by using a laser to charge the parts of the page that should get toner. A "write white" printer charged the whole page, then used the laser to remove the charge from the parts of the page that should not get toner. On a "write black" printer, a pixel was a little bit bigger than its claimed size. On a "write white" printer", a pixel was a little bit smaller than its claimed size.

I was supporting Xerox 8700 laser printers at the time and the settings for a write white printer inevitably caused errors for many characters until I was generating at least a .600gf file. I have vague recollections of the same issue coming up occasionally even when I was printing to a 1200dpi Compaq.

Internet Outage Appears to Have Knocked Down Amazon and Dozens of Other Sites
Tesla’s P/E is a function of stockholders inflating the stock price. The allegation here (by my limited understanding) is that Autonomy lied about how much revenue the business was actually generating. It’s not illegal to have your stock price inflated because of demand for the stock, but it is illegal to lie in your financial statements.
AFAIK it was good old fashioned accounting fraud. Losses booked as marketing expenses, lifetime revenue of contracts booked immediately, bundling overpriced software with underpriced hardware to change the revenue mix to get better valuation multiples. The fact that such blatant fraud could be missed for so long is an indictment of everyone involved.

If we want to cure more cancers, we will eventually have to target drugs at the level of individual patient. Traditional animal models aren't going to work there. If medical ethicists in the US insist on requiring animal models into the indefinite future, cancer patients will have no options besides travelling to a foreign country to get their cancer treated.
I don't think that there is any particular similarity between YHL's "fictions" and Jaynes' "metaphors".

"Fictions" are a set of cultural ideas that are mutually agreed up by members of a community, and concern things that are either evidently false, or at best, not provable in any real sense.

"Metaphors" are ways of understand the world by noting (and using) similarities between things that are otherwise dissimilar.

"Maybe they let you declare some subgraph as 'dynamic' to avoid static optimizations?" What you just described is Tensorflow Eager and why it has some performance issues (but more flexibility!). XLA makes some pretty strong assumptions and I don't think that should change. Tensorflow's ability to automatically generate good automatically parallelized production code stems from the restrictions it has imposed. So I wouldn't even try for a "one true AD to rule them all" since making things more flexible will reduce the amount of compiler optimizations that can be automatically performed.

To get the more flexible form, you really would want to do it in a way that uses a full programming language's IR as its target. I think trying to use a fully dynamic programming language IR directly (Python, R, etc.) directly would be pretty insane because it would be hard to enforce rules and get performance. So some language that has a front end over an optimizing compiler (LLVM) would probably make the most sense. Zygote and Diffractor uses Julia's IR, but there are other ways to do this as well. Enzyme (https://github.com/wsmoses/Enzyme.jl) uses the LLVM IR directly for doing source-to-source translations. Using some dialect of LLVM (provided by MLIR) might be an interesting place to write a more ML-focused flexible AD system. Swift for Tensorflow used the Swift IR. This mindset starts to show why those tools were chosen.
Engineers encase the cables in rubber or plastic, which degrades over time. Or steel pipes which rust over time. there are things we can do about this, but they just add time. When you only have a little bit of cable odds are it lasts, when you have thousands of km odds are there will be constant problems.

Are you really going to switch to another party which is even further from your own position on several issues which are at least as critical just so that you can get some representation (from a fringe party with little actual influence) on an item further down the list?

Any party you choose is going to vote against you interests in some area, abusing your endorsement to back policies you disagree with. The ability to switch to another party which represents you even less apart from one "pet issue" which might not be your highest priority doesn't change that.

If you were exploring how a new CPU works would you assume any fields were generated by the obvious input power provided by a plug leading to the wall or would you start with the hypothesis that despite having an obvious way to conduct electricity and connection to a source of same it was likely the result of a heretofore unknown field of low energy particles that have somehow not be discovered by physicists despite centuries of looking.

If you gave someone who understood electricity but not computation a CPU they wouldn't be able to explain how it works. That wouldn't provide a good reason to say that computation must be the result of something other than electricity.
