> 2. Most of the brain's computation is not involved in cognition. That may be true. We don't really know

I think that's largely known, depending of course on how you define "cognition".

Huge tracts (I don't have numbers) of the cortex are dedicated to things like vision, motor control, etc... Those aren't "cognition" as generally understood, and there are many stroke victims out there who can testify (like, actually "testify", in the sense of using their brain to explain it to you) to the fact that they can no longer see, or move their left side, etc... Their "cognition" is not impaired.

It gets fuzzier with things like speech and recognition, which also have dedicated real estate but are, kinda, "para-cognition" tasks.

Really, yes: you can have a "thinking" engine with a tiny fraction of the computation power of the human brain. I think most folks agree with that. The broader question is that with so limited an I/O structure: what is there for it to think about?

I've been watching mosh for years, but I kept running into some sort of environment/locale issue that was getting in the way. Finally, a couple months ago I got "Linux (Beta)" available for my Chromebook and switched to using it rather than a Chrome SSH plugin to login to my work computers.

I started up mosh and it's been glorious! I used to have to reconnect every time my chromebook went to sleep for any length of time, but now I've had a single session open for ~6 weeks.

It has a nice banner when it loses connectivity, so I immediately know there are network/VPN issues. I don't love the "Control-^" escape key, because it interferes with "Last buffer" in vi, but otherwise it's worked flawlessly.

A decade or so ago I pointed a client at mosh, he had a rural property with satellite Internet and he managed a bunch of other peoples computers. He was overjoyed with mosh!

I watched most of the event over the past few days. Mostly fluff. However, there were some actual interesting things uncovered, like decades old iis software runnning and logs that clearly showed some sort of network activity on and around election day.

I find it hard to believe there's nothing when politicians are trying so hard to stop any audit and sites like Twitter are banning any discussion of election fraud. You dont censor when you are correct. You censor when you have something to hide.

I also find it hilarious that the left laughs at this when the majority of leftist activists sites run on shitty outdated wordpress installations cobbled together with random scripts.
Saw brakes. Both Bosch (outside the US) and SawStop have technology where a current in the blade can detect the resistance of something that isn't wood and throw a brake before the blade can damage your hand. The Bosch one doesn't even break the blade, though the SawStop one does. The patents are still snarling it up, but it'll happen eventually.

Also, accuracy and precision on smaller/cheaper tools. I have a "jobsite table saw", which is a thoroughly budget one by comparison to a big ol' cabinet saw. And being a smaller saw has a lot of problems, but one that stopped being a problem is a rack-and-pinion fence even on fairly cheap (~$300) table saws that provides really, really solid accuracy.

HTML and HTTP are open standards, but they're not the metaverse. The "metaverse" is supposed to be an open standard for interoperable 3D game worlds.

You could build a 3D game world inside of a browser, and people have been doing that since the 90s. We've had multiple different open and proprietary technologies that allow this: VRML, Java applets, 3D Groove SX/GX, Shockwave 3D, Flash Stage3D, WebGL, and WebGPU. However, most game worlds built this way are less like "websites but in 3D" and more like Facebook. Yes, Facebook uses HTML, but it's not part of "the web" - most of it's content requires a login and can't be scraped or searched by external sites.

An actual "metaverse built on the open web" would be possible; in the same way that comment sections, trackbacks, Gravatar, and so on made blogging into a shared space decades ago. You would need standards for a whole bunch of problems unique to 3D game worlds, including presence, chat, avatars, asset inventories, and so on. All of these would have to also be integrated with existing content-management systems (WordPress, Drupal, etc), which would also have to serve up a viewer application that actually handled our "web metaverse" thing (in the same way that browsers don't need to know about comment sections, they just need to know how to submit a form). That in and of itself has significant UX problems: maybe, you go on one particular metaverse site, and suddenly you have entirely different player movement from the last site you were on, because it loaded a different viewer.
Hi WORMS_EAT_WORMS

Great questions!

1) For the US-> There are approximately 1 million strokes every year. Stroke is the #1 cause of disability

2) Good point. We are starting with a system that can be work at night time + whenever the users feel most vulnerable. There are many patients who who through periods of increased risk (i.e. after a 1st stroke, after a transient ischemic attack).

3)Stroke recognition is one of the biggest pain points in bringing stroke victims to treatment. Strokes that happen during sleep (commonly referred to also as wake up strokes) are practically impossible to detect based on symptoms. There is not pain associated with it (like in a heart attack).

4) We have heard crazy stories from patients and caregivers about how different their outcome would have been had they been alerted a couple of hours earlier. Our vision is to help everyone go to the hospital in under 1h. Our first target is to enable everyone to go to the hospital within 4h which is currently the time window for tpa d (clot busting medication). What's the current status? -> only 4% nationwide get tpa because they arrive too late.

If you know when the stroke started and its more than 5h past that -> no tpa.

If you don't know when the stroke started -> no tpa.

At least in the embedded space, this is definitely not true. The norm is approaching more and more features for less.
I don’t see the explanation here.

You seem to be restating your position a few times in more words - I.e. that examples of resistance to foreign opposition are not relevant, and that guns wouldn’t be relevant in then scenarios you can imagine.

Can you try condensing the actual argument into a short paragraph?

It’s not clear what scenario you are imagining in which the weapons wouldn’t help. How about just outlining the scenario you are thinking about clearly?

This is assuming there's no weight sharing.

Some of those weights presumably go to reproducing highly-conserved features, like the kinetics of particular ion channels. These are "tied" via the genome, in the sense that there's one KCNC1 gene, but millions of neurons express the ion channel it encodes.

On the other hand, this model is also missing all sorts of other interactions: hormones and other neuromodulators, ephaptic coupling, etc.

It's so complicated I would venture that no one even has a reasonable guesstimate of how close we are, beyond "Not very."

This claims that the $5M is not on the table right now.

This claims that it is.

Scope process/machine access though IS a weird fit in an automated environment for the reasons I laid out. You either come up with a broad scope that covers everything the job/process/machine could ever need to do or access (and then hope there is no exploit or bug that results in it accessing more), or build something like a token system that lets you get/scope access or permission in the context of the work it is doing on behalf of someone else. Which requires investment, but fits what should really be happening better. That is more of the ‘zero trust’ model, but certainly not all of it.

> Your examples of loan, licence etc are not like 99% of interactions, and those can be handled as special cases like before

With regards to loans, it is possible for state governments to establish regional public land loan offices to issue equity loans in reference to the production and replacement cost of existent tangible personal property fixed or held on site without monitoring all of the purchases of movable personal property by the borrower to determine credit-worthiness. The borrower just has to prove there is some tangible artifact of personal property which exists, which the loan office can auction if the debt goes bad or write off if the artifact is destroyed.

We just have to mandate the loan offices don't do something stupid, like issue loans against the excess value of real estate attributable land scarcity and resell mortgages to private investors which will resell derivatives, to avoid generating a real estate bubble and the accumulation of $100+ trillion in derivatives. Additionally we'd probably need to replace many regressive taxes with distributive land taxes to ensure that households and cooperatives had cheaper access to land in order to obtain a deed or long term lease granting the security for spatially fixed personal property necessary to qualify for such loans.
Domestic flying in Japan (on the non-discount airlines) is still great. Published regular prices (not based on number of seats left), virtually no security, no ID required, liquids allowed. No problem checking in 20 minutes before the flight, and since the prices are regular, no problem to call 30 minutes before a flight because you're running late, and change to the next flight. If you're nice, probably no problem to flat-out miss a flight and get put on the next one.

Even someone who does "the whole job" is still generally a cog in the machine, as few jobs are in themselves extremely important in the global scheme of things. Indeed t here have been plenty of forgettable prime ministers and presidents. The question is just how much diversity of tasks it takes to feel engaged, and how much scope of responsibility it takes to feel like what you're doing matters.

The exception would be someone like a subsistence farmer. But hell I'd rather work in a factory.
I think “software is eating the world” has evolved into “software is eating barriers to entry.” All these fintech startups are entering a market that software already penetrated years ago--but those first gen tools are clunky, or have so much so much bureaucracy that it’s not cost efficient to work with them. What's interesting about these dev-first fintechs (Stripe, now Lithic) is that they can grow the overall market demand by stripping all that away (and not just extract market share from the first gen software companies).

I think none of his claims about the cause are the real one. It's more like: Uber undercut taxis by using VC money to try to buy market share, which worked, but now they have to raise prices and less people want to use it (plus there was a demand shock caused by covid). See this with Airbnb too. They're no longer cheaper than a hotel in many cases and the experience has declined for a variety of reasons.
I used to think that Uber eats meant that an Uber would be dispatched to pick up my food for me, which lined up with it being more expensive than other available options. This struck me as super wasteful and simultaneously dodgy, so I never used it initially, and have never had a reason to use it even after discovering it is actually a different model.

I don't have an answer to this, but I am curious to whether startups get treated differently than large corps given how quickly they can change.

I work for a startup that is vastly different than the one I joined a year ago and it shows in the turnover and I don't blame people for leaving over it. There are just two people left on my team from a year ago. I doubt that much has changed in my prior job in the government.
> The sad irony is that if HN is anything to go by, SQLite is super trendy now.

If you look at the recent StackOverflow survey, the majority of the developers only have around 5 years of professional experience in the industry.

SQL has been around since the 1970s and is still around in force for reason. There's a good chance a lot of developers, especially the enormous number on the front end, do not have experience with SQL or are just getting into back-end work where they are exposed to it.

There have been a lot of SQLite articles recently, as well as node.js libraries to query SQL. I have a hunch this may be why.

My current beef with Image Capture is that in either Big Sur or Catalina (can't remember which), they defaulted to converting HEIC to JPG, rather than preserving the original format, and moved the checkbox that let you know it's doing that to a menu you have to hunt for. If an image downloader is doing conversions, it should be more transparent about it.

This opinion is comparable to saying: "Depression is not real, everybody gets sad sometimes" or "ADHD is not real everybody gets distracted sometimes".

Just because some attribute exists in normal doses in most people, does not mean that it can exist in debilitating doses in a minority.

Of course, a big difference between imposter syndrome and the aforementioned illnesses is that imposter syndrome is not in the DSM-5. But if you look at the history of the DSM-5, you will notice that adding a new illness is a very slow and politicized process. And a large number of psychologists are treating it a bit to seriously for it to be just a "humble brag".

That doesnt mean everybody talking about their imposter syndrome would really classify as having it. Similarly people who checked webmd and now believe that they have cancer, also do not necessarily have cancer. That still doesnt mean that every cancer-sufferer is a fraud.
The advice is to not just willy-nilly just pull in the latest patch releases just because it's "supposed" to work. Regularly testing and updgrading at _least_ your core dependencies should be part of the day job of any competent team. If you have too many dependencies to have capacity to do this on an ongoing basis - maybe you just have too many dependencies. Excuses don't make the problem go away.

Just assuming you can upgrade something from 3.20.1 over 3.20.0 because it just happened to release 9 hours ago is a recipe for disaster. Pin your version to 3.20.0 - regularly review your dependencies, upgrade and test - THEN roll it out system wide. Don't just assume something is going to work and roll it out to everyone without checking because some arbitrary versioning scheme says it should.

Be thoughtful. Methodical. Consistent.
