Having recently been swept into a youtube loop on this subject, not much seems to have been learned since this article was published.

It's fascinating just how vast the gap is. There is seemingly no theory of consciousness that has any testable hypotheses. It's quite engaging to hear some of our most public intellectuals talk about what to make of that.

Imagination is pretty much the only thing that fills that void today.

Some of my favorite speakers on the topic have been Dennett, Hoffman, Tononi and Penrose.

Just look at some of the contributors on the playlist below! And they know almost as little as I do. It's a fun and mindbending topic.

Yes. It’s faster. I’m a scientist who authors papers and needs to read an enormous number of them. My ability to easily search and access dozens of papers per day is what makes my job possible. The purpose of the scientific publishing industry is to support that activity and the general dissemination of knowledge. The fact that a random website in Eastern Europe is able to simplify that task is a good thing, and reflects negatively on the existing publishing industry. (As the author of some of those papers publishers are charging to access, I can assure you that the scientists involved don’t mind that people are bypassing journals and their terrible web UX in order to read and cite scientific work.) The fact that my University already pays for all these journals and it’s still more efficient to access them via Sci-Hub only makes the publishing industry look worse, since it means they’re not accomplishing their core purpose, the one that’s supposed to justify their continued existence in this world.
So, does this mean that the outcome was, Airbus reviewed the situation and the data, and made no changes or corrections to the system?

Even still, home prices have risen the fastest in Auckland.
Dining out is also a very localized industry, so this hits highly-productive areas within countries even more. Of course, the other side of the coin is that highly-productive areas are also constrained by real estate costs, regardless of prevailing wages. More rural areas don't have that factor, so people can afford to dine out more and still pay their cooks quite well.

> In other words, even if it were possible to map out the exact pattern of brain waves that give rise to a person’s momentary complex of awareness, that mapping would only explain the physical correlate of these experiences, but it wouldn’t be them.

This is where Nagel is wrong. Mental activities don't map directly to brain functions, but this doesn't at all mean that they are not part of the physical world.

https://www.quantamagazine.org/mental-phenomena-dont-map-int...

Computers have mental activities too, simple ones, but we are not tapping into a different realm to make that happen.

Would be cool though, because both computers and brains are constrained by that pesky thermodynamics. Scratch that. They are defined by it. In fact you don't even need computers or brains for lifelike behavior. Any system responding to a stochastic driving signal can be interpreted as computing. Making a predictive model of the environment equals to using available energy efficiently.

Dot syntax is used when accessing a function/property on a value, :: is used when accessing a function/property on a module or type. I think it's great having this visual distinction, especially given that you can call the same function in either style:

let x = Foo::new();

x.bar();
Foo::bar(x);

If everyone's wage goes up, the economy is probably running hotter and there is more growth. Don't forget the macro side if things!

A lot of well-credentialed people will say "bu- but the 1970s", but the fact of the matter is the wage share of income could also change, and rather than knee-capping unions to control inflation, we could have done price controls (as was done in the 1950s), profit controls (which would limit dividends and buy backs, not reinvestment to boost supply) or other such things.

But competitors are already in the same boat. Demand for business is high.

I really think that some of this is about class solidarity among business owners (especially small business owners). I say this as a political centrist, too.

There are a bunch of reasons why wages are "sticky" (i.e. they don't go up--or down--when you'd expect that to be the rational decision in an efficient market), and this is probably one of them.

Also, there are ways to seek out higher efficiency. Hire at higher wage but expect and prepare for higher productivity. Operate the business for longer hours to make the most of money paid for rent, etc. Unfortunately, I think small businesses where I live (in southeast Virginia) are much worse at this than larger businesses.

CEOs and business owners are often not the same thing.

The CEO is someone that is hired by the owners, to run the company.

Of course, making the right abstractions and library / module / crate boundaries is still very much important to incremental build performance. For 'very large' Rust projects, setting up remote build execution can be hard, but a few of the original Bazel folks at Google are trying to make that easier for folks with EngFlow https://www.engflow.com/
If bread costs more than I would like, it's not a shortage of bread, it's just the bread being more expensive than I would like it to be. Exactly the same thing about labor. There are many people looking for a new job, and if you make it known that you pay more than they have now, some of them will run to you.

I have seen software companies making a similar mistake. Of course, the salaries there are way above the minimum wage, but still the same logic. They complain: "We wanted to start this new project, but we can't find developers; we have been posting job announcements online for five years already!" I look at the job announcement, it offers about 2/3 of the market salary. "Have you tried offering more?" Blank stares. I guess, how could that possibly be relevant?

Maybe the problem is that the employers see employees as "the ones who obey", which is generally true... except for the job interviews. There, you cannot simply give orders and expect them to be obeyed. The candidate will only take the offer if they like the proposed deal. Also, for the ones who accept, you can gradually make the deal worse, by increasing the workload and keeping salary the same regardless of inflation... until the surprising moment when the employee decides to walk away, because they got a better deal somewhere else.
Weird logic. You think Germany is not gonna profit massively - both monetarily as well as otherwise - already?
Who was stereotyping?
Then they'll build it and create the jobs somewhere else.
That sounds like a good thing that human labor is properly valued.
How and why is Facebook controlling my background tabs?
The mobile facebook website does something quite creepy. After you click on a link that takes you to a new website in a new tab, if you click on another link from Facebook, it is somehow able to close the last opened tab and open a new one.

The usage model that facebook seems to be enforcing is that you read the article that you clicked on, and then come back to Facebook so that they can figure out how much time you spent there. You can't open multiple links in the background and read them at leisure.

They are able to close the background page even when you navigate to some other link from the opened tab! The URL has no special facebook specific crud. How are they able to close background tabs in Chrome like this?
It's not just amortized supply and demand.

We ask, why don't workers go on general strikes? Well small businesses refusing to even try raising wages and prices amounts to a capital general strike.

Employers and employees simply have radically different market power, and that is as fundamental a fact in all economies remotely like ours as any econ 101 supply and demand.
I’m saying we only know when behavior is anticompetitive, in the sense that someone undoubtedly acted in a way that violates US antitrust laws, when it’s ruled as such in court. You can have an opinion for if some act is anticompetitive behavior, but you can’t allude to that as fact or create a ”reasonable working definition” when such criteria is already writ in law.
Maybe one of those miscalculations is not paying workers enough to keep them hired.
Nowhere near as moving a story but, back when my spouse used a Windows laptop, every night she'd logout from Windows and the little signature Windows sign out tune would play, and then she'd call our two dogs to their crates for the night. Over time, our two dogs, upon hearing the Windows log off sound, would immediately jump up and go to their crates.

I bought her a Mac, and the Windows sound ritual ceased.

A couple of years later, I found a youtube video compilation of every Windows signature sound and I played it. Despite it being the middle of the afternoon, the moment that specific log out tune played, the two dogs leapt up and went to their crates.
metaphorically. I assume no geese were killed in that comment
To shed some lights on why power sliding is so unreliable, doing so requires to be familiar the surface on which you’re attempting it. Being familiar with it means that you basically failed to and fell down multiples times before getting it right, which already requires a good skill level.

And you cannot assume that power sliding on a surface will be similar to another one that looked the same because a slight change of humidity, dust or grease may totally change the outcome and transform the slide into a hang up that will throw you at the floor pretty hard.

So if you combine a really thin margin of error with the inability to confidently execute it on new surfaces, it makes powersliding a pretty unreliable way of braking unless it’s an emergency, in which case jumping off the board is much easier.

Meanwhile, you can power slide at will in the skate park because you know the surface by heart, and it’s easy to get it consistent by how many times you just rode it.
Fundamentally, until we get to see the full text of the document and find out definitively where it lies on the scale from 'some batshit activists wrote a manifesto' to 'this has now been adopted as mandatory departmental policy' I'm going to treat it as "rumour, plausible, all else unknown".
I had a daily Starbucks habit before the pandemic. During the pandemic I just made pourover coffee at home with some half & half, and even now, eighteen months later and I'm doing more out in the world again, I only get Starbucks about once or twice a month.

It's not like it's hard to make okay coffee, it was mainly part of me being out and about.
Our pumps are so old many are still using wooden screws and run on 25 cycle power. Think how much water we could pull out if the system was upgraded? New Orleans is more prepared to survive than any other city with a few hundred miles of it, including mega cities like Houston.

Presume any phone you own has malware in it, and adjust your behavior accordingly. This means putting the phone in a Faraday sleeve when not using it, so it can't communicate with a C2, putting black nail varnish on the camera, keeping the phone in another room when having a sensitive conversation, etc

For doing the crimes, use a desktop PC with a TailsOS flash drive and communicate with XMPP with OTR preferably with Intel Management Engine neutered and removed. Do Not use a smartphone or dumbphone for criminal dealings.
That might be the only solution you can think of, but that does not make it the only possibility. What you are really saying is you don't think New Orleans is worth saving. New Orleans infrastructure consists of far more than just levees. Our pumping system is currently rated to remove 1 inch of rain the first hour and 1/2 inch each additional hour. We can remove this much rain with wooden screw pumps that still run on 25 cycle power. Upgrading or adding to the pumps in New Orleans to handle more water makes far more sense than giving up on what I believe is the most special city in America.

You say that nobody want to hear your hot take on abandoning New Orleans, a city with one of the most important ports in the country, yet I hear this proposed constantly (and upvoted) by people that have almost no specialized knowledge of infrastructure. It is armchair nihilism and imo not helpful at all. The army corps of engineers thinks differently. Agencies like the CPRA are working to restore land on the coast. There are ways to mitigate the damage, to reduce the risk and protect the city. Yes it is expensive. No it is not cheaper than losing our ports, our people, our culture.

Soon enough, if we don't invest in NOLA, you will likely be right, but I doubt it will be because there was no other option. It will be because we as a country made a huge mistake and failed to act.

The truth is, a lot of America does not care about people or cities in the south. New Orleans gets a bit more attention because tourists had a good time on Bourbon once, but overall it is treated as an oddity and not an essential piece of the both the economic and cultural fabric of America. There are people down here that feel the same way about California with its earthquakes and wild fires and I make similar arguments when arguing with them. Speaking of which, NYC fared far worse against the remnants of a storm we took head on. Should we abandon it or improve it? Hell no we should not give up on NYC, nor SF with it's earthquakes, or LA with it's water shortages, or Baltimore with its crime, or Detroit with its collapse of industry and definitely not New Orleans.
Youtube was like 10 people at the time, so it's not ridiculous given they had the rest of Google's infrastructure to fall back on. Still wasn't sufficient, though :)
I wonder if she heard about the Stationary Universe Model of Peter Ostermann [1]. He argues along similar lines reagarding the inference of dark energy from the supernovae data.

Just a reminder to people like me: if you chose to read the comments on a post like this, you got what was coming to you.
The shift usually was to newer, smaller, more underground I guess companies with the best up and coming skaters. Skate mags/vids were a big part of this. There was always a sense of transition and growth, esp for street as people did more aggressive things.

So yes, there was a commercial aspect to it, but from a marketing sense, it was driven by being iconoclastic, being super in tune with where the industry was heading and style/trends/tricks/skaters was heading.

Being a rebel is chucking away societal norms, and I do feel that was how most skaters felt back then… you were definitely in a bubble.
With the amount of legal fees and payroll spent on getting permission to put it up, I think they’ll eventually hit that mark.
> To begin to have UBI you'd have to increase taxes substantially

These would be far less of a burden than the implied taxes arising due to existing means-tested welfare. The incentive distorting effect from that sort of means-testing is extremely high, and the whole point of the UBI/NIT is to dispense with that.
Yes, that's basically true.

I don't see small business owners as morally superior to workers. We're all just humans.

(And yes, starting a small business where you are able to leverage a bunch of other people's labor is still the most reliable way to become a millionaire in the US.... well, besides buying a decent house a few decades ago in California and becoming a NIMBY.)
The software could be pretty simple. Hook a button up to GPIO, write a bash wrapper around one of the command line VoIP clients, write a little program to call the script when the button gets pressed, autorun that one on boot.
I honestly don't understand the need some people seem to have to reach for an extra-physical domain for the mind to exist in. It seems to me quite obvious that the human nervous system is necessary and sufficient to create subjective experience in humans.

We don't have such doubts about any other organ. For instance if someone's pancreas is damaged or needs to be removed, we accept readily that this person will no longer be able to produce insulin by themselves anymore. We don't search for some alternate metaphysical explanation for blood sugar regulation.

It's similarly easy to observe A/B tests vis a vis the brain's role in consciousness.
Not the person you're replying to but my advice would be to first make sure you know what type of skating you're going to be doing, because city skating/freeskating has different needs to fitness skating.

If you're looking at freeskates then you can't really go wrong with FRs, Rollerblade's RB series or maybe some Powerslide skates. Just check how wide your feet are because they can fit very differently, even within the same brand the RB skates are quite wide and Twister Edge skates are narrow.

Ideally try them on and get a feel for what's most comfortable for you, you can swap out the frames and wheels for something better later on, and usually the liner too.
If people raise objections, that suggests that they are having issues with understanding. I know I've been confused by it before, and I usually feel compelled to use modifiers to distinguish between 'literally millions' and 'actually, no-exaggeration, literally millions' when I want to be understood.

That doesn't necessarily mean we're moving in the wrong direction. Language evolves to satisfy speakers' criteria, so it will gradually improve median utility. But any change is going to have cost, and confusion could be the price we pay for progress.

Alternately, you can imagine a situation where 1% of the population derives a huge amount of utility from a word, while 99% only get a small benefit from another definition. Improvements to the median in that scenario can have negative consequences in aggregate. Or you can see that this particular usage has been confusing people for a hundred years, and the cost of change may outweigh any potential benefit.

I think the position that natural language will just take care of itself is just a touch hand-wavey. Human interests and linguistic-evolutionary movement are often coaligned, but sometimes diverge- the same as with human interests and economic growth.
