I found the article very interesting and thought provoking. Some points from it -

> We see the world not as it is, but as it’s useful for us to do so.

> A computer that plays chess is actually playing chess. But a computer simulation of a weather system does not generate actual weather. Weather is substrate-dependent.

> This is why I tend toward the substrate-dependent view. This imperative for self-organization and self-preservation in living systems goes all the way down: Every cell within a body maintains its own existence just as the body as a whole does. What’s more, unlike in a computer where you have this sharp distinction between hardware and software — between substrate and what “runs on” that substrate — in life, there isn’t such a sharp divide. Where does the mind-ware stop and the wetware start? There isn’t a clear answer. These, for me, are positive reasons to think that the substrate matters; a system that instantiates conscious experiences might have to be a system that cares about its persistence all the way down into its mechanisms, without some arbitrary cutoff. No, I can’t demonstrate that for certain. But it’s one interesting way in which living systems are different from computers, and it’s a way which helps me understand consciousness as it’s expressed in living systems.

> I think the situation we’re much more likely to find ourselves in is living in a world where artificial systems can give the extremely compelling impression that they are conscious, even when they are not. Or where we just have no way of knowing, but the systems will strongly try to convince us that they are.

IMO, it always reads decently, but I never know what is missing and what parts are accurate.

Yea, looks like they're reselling webflow built websites, nothing really to see here. My first web development job was working for an agency that charged $500 setup fee + $49/mo there after. Nothing revolutionary about this.
I feel that automatic/smart-contract-enforced resale royalties are a killer feature, and make me think NFTs actually have legs. Actually perpetual.
Thank you, that's very helpful. I've found the cepl videos instructive in a simlar area https://www.youtube.com/user/CBaggers/videos

I hadn't appreciated that level of thread isolation was possible in SBCL, but of course it makes sense. Presumably you had some kind of instrumentation to let you know if a stray syscall had slipped in?
On the other hand, though, part of the reason for this is just math.

For a VC, missing out on a "unicorn of unicorns" investment can have dire consequences. IIRC at one point YC said that the vast majority of their value was from just AirBnB, Dropbox and Stripe (may have changed since I remember reading this).

But VCs exist in companies that fail all the time for a myriad of reasons. So putting in 10 million in a company that turns out to be a scam is probably not that big of a deal for most sizable VCs.

With that level of asymmetry it's not surprising that FOMO is the driving force here.

Pretty damn awesome. Three suggestions:

1) Make the voice-over English. Yes, I know. But English is the lingua franca*, for better or worse.

2) The tech demo is great, but maybe have the demo be a nice place, instead of graffiti-filled basement?

3) Change the text to "Preview" vs. "Example 1"

My point isn't really how many stocks offer dividends, but more that the price of the stock isn't really connected to the size dividend at all. Companies can and do change the amount of the dividend without your approval, and many stocks don't offer dividends at all, and no one sees a stock not offering a dividend as a demerit on its desirability or value. Except for people who buy the companies on Dividend Kings list, no one is evaluating the value of stocks purely on the expected future dividend returns. For the most part, the dividend is sort of a "bonus" and the real return you hope to get from the stock is in the form of appreciation.
I agree with everything you said here.

However, you have to consider that Common Lisp itself is quite different from other dynamically typed languages.

I find that, after the initial adjustment period with the language (which is significant, I admit), it's surprisingly hard to write messy code in CL, certainly harder than in Python or Ruby. At the very least, the temptation to do so is lower, because there are fewer obstacles to expressing sophisticated ideas succinctly.

And no, I am not talking about the ability to define your own macros and create DSLs. I think it has to do with the extensive selection of tools for creating short-lived local bindings, the huge selection of tools for flow control, and the strict distinction between dynamic and lexical variables.

There's just something about it that sets it apart from other dynamically-typed languages, even without the gradual typing aspect and even without the speed difference. Navigating a source codebase in Python without strict type annotations is like navigating in the dark in a swamp. I don't have the same issues in Common Lisp for the most part.

Maybe this has more to do with undisciplined programmers self-selecting out of CL than it has to do with any aspect of CL itself.

And on top of the excellent and unique language design, you have:

* A powerful CFFI

* An official specification

* The "REPL-driven" development style (if you want it)

* Several well-maintained implementations that generate high-performance machine code

* The unique condition system

* Literally decades of backward compatibility

* A core of stable, well-designed packages, including bindings to a lot of "foundational" libraries

* Macros if you really do want to invent your own syntax or DSL

Probably the only big downside is that the developer ecosystem is still focused around Emacs. That too is changing gradually but steadily, with Slyblime (SLY/SLYNK ported to Sublime Text), Slimv and Vlime (Vim ports of SLIME/SWANK), the free version of LispWorks for light-duty stuff, and at least one Jupyter kernel.

Also, Roswell (like Rbenv or Pyenv) and Qlot or CLPM (like Bundler or Pipenv) help create a "project-local" dev experience that's similar to how things are done in other language ecosystems.

And of course there is Quicklisp itself, which is a rock solid piece of software, and fast too!

Python and Ruby have their own merits, for sure, and there are plenty of things I have in Python that I wish I had in CL. But it really doesn't seem right to compare them, CL seems like a totally different category of language.
For something that feels decent enough to share the minimum for myself is three weeks. Functional and verification testing is really important, and then deployment testing after that. These take time.

I look at the experiences of Phil Strahl and I find it really interesting to see from year to year how his experiences with Ludum Dare have changed and what he has learned. It does seem like familiarity with tools is really important.

I like his joke in his Ludum Dare 45 post mortem about how his game launches, testing over, passed.

Getting older I know that having enough sleep is really important for having a beautiful day the next day. I'm not sure how compatible getting enough sleep is with a 48 hour hard limit. Looking after physical health and mental well-being seems really important at this stage in my life. I'm glad that people can get enjoyment out of participating in Ludum Dare and I know everyone's experience will be different because everyone is different. I wish generally people felt less stressed because some of the limits we place on ourselves are optional.

I think you misunderstood the point of all that spending. The goal was to keep things operating as they where not to somehow increase equality.

Most people got a trivial amount of cash just enough to limp through the worst of it often much worse than they started. Anyone that kept their job where basically forced to save as restaurants etc shut down. That’s what boosted the stock market, a giant influx of cash from regular people.

PostHog | Multiple Roles | Remote | Full Time | https://posthog.com

We're an open source platform for product analytics that took off after a launch HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22376732). Our mission is to increase the number of successful products in the world. We've raised nearly $30M since that post under 2 years ago, and have around 15K developers in our community.

There are two key roles open at the moment:

* A developer who likes to speak to customers. We are getting swamped dealing with inbound demand and are growing revenue by 50% month over month. I need our very first customer success manager - to help get customers what they need, and to ensure they're deployed and configured. This isn't a support ticket role, it's about making sure our customers, who are usually very technical, are successful, including (inbound) sales. We could see this fitting an ex-founder really well, but we're open. Our vision for customer success is a strong focus on tooling, documentation and automation, not on building a huge team. Above everything, you need to be proactive, smart, able to help solve technical problems, empathetic and someone that enjoys building relationships.

* A developer who loves writing - especially tutorial type content, and could own this for us. We've got lots of docs that detail what the product does, but we want to focus on explaining how to build a more successful product, and how PostHog can help achieve those. You might be writing about how to use our SDKs one day, or how to improve activation rates another. Bonus points for a data engineering background.

What it's like:

* Fast and direct!
* Focus is on written and asynchronous communication.
* Autonomous. You choose your quest. Small team structure to enable this.
* Transparent - almost all our work is open source, public handbook, public compensation, internally shared board meetings and investment updates before they happen.

Love it when a program could simply work, but chooses to fail because it doesn't like my life choices.
i have a bit of a reputation for doing this, and a few personal relationships with business leaders who have tapped me for these kind of projects. in the end its kind of dysfunctional every time because various people in the org own the relevant responsibilties already and you are basically micromanaging them against their will as a prelude to termination or reorganization.

its not like the solutions are usually that hard to figure out, it's always a problem with people and their incentives ultimately.

the fixer role is basically to give confidence to the CEO that disempowering certain people is safe and there's a path out.
Nobody likes a flukeeper.

They literally said "flus and colds" why do you have to suggest this person's experience isn't what they say it is.

Have you had the flu before? Do you know what it is?

Do you know how absolutely fucking annoying it is to be gaslit when you know you've had the flu and no it wasn't just a bad fucking cold?
Ozy is the problem of their investors, assuming they all are sophisticated (e.g., like Goldman Sachs) and not mom & pop. Professionals at Goldman and the other investors chose Ozy; does it negatively impact their careers?

But a serious issue for the public is whether a culture exists that normalizes this behavior. Someone here said Ozy didn't realize they crossed a line, but did they actually cross a line, by the norms of that culture? Their board defended them. If the story hadn't reached the ears of a NYT journalist, wouldn't Ozy's investors, board, business partners all have accepted it? Fraud is economically very inefficient (resources aren't directed to the most efficient use, but to the most deceitful - not a recipe for economic growth), and breeds other criminality.

Finally, didn't YouTube cut them off after that? Wouldn't that have been a major blow to their business? Maybe that's why Goldman Sachs pulled out.

That's true, but it doesn't mean that the simulation doesn't have desired effects in the real world. The simulation will not make you wet, but it will keep you dry if you use its predictions and take your umbrella with you.

If consciousness is related to assessment of predictions and their effect on the organism, then those predictions can be assessed by living "through" them in the real or simulated world and there are significant advantages in doing this in simulation.
How can you reject the take-home interview if no feedback is given, when feedback follows doing the take-home?

Basically, you'd have to be informed that the company has a habit of not giving feedback on take-homes.

But then, if they always or almost always give these take homes, and you plan to refuse it, then you might as well not apply there.

If you only plan to refuse it if you will be rejected, then you need a crystal ball to predict the future.

Or else you're saying that this particular interviewing practice is a complete deal-breaker, which seems irrational. Sometimes good companies to work for do some odd things in interviewing. There is a fair bit of subjectivity in what is weird in interviewing, too.

I find it interesting that you're talking about ways to coerce people to vaccinate when the discussion here is how you deal with people who are known to have survived a COVID infection and thus have natural immunity. You seem to be conflating the immunologically naive with vaccine naive. Why? What is your intention?

Over 43 million Americans have already tested positive for COVID. I don't believe there's an official count of the number of people who have tested positive for antibodies, but speaking to your comment about cost, an antibody test is under $50.

https://www.labcorp.com/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/individ...

> Labcorp will bill the cost of the COVID-19 antibody test directly to your health plan if you are insured, or if you are uninsured, Labcorp will bill the appropriate government program. The cost of the test is $42.13 and is based on rates established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In the event that your health plan, or applicable government program does not cover the cost of the test, you may receive an invoice from Labcorp for up to $42.13.

Nothing you wrote addresses the scientific evidence, which is that people with natural immunity have protection that is not inferior to that provided by vaccines. In fact, the evidence increasingly shows that their protection is far superior.

Why can't you just leave the tens of millions of Americans who already have a confirmed history of COVID recovery alone? Why do you feel they need to be coerced by the government and their employers to receive a vaccine when the science shows they have higher levels of protection?

The point is that your keys never reside on a general-purpose, internet-connected computer. It greatly reduces the attack surface.

As for SPoF -- hardware wallets are initialized with a seed phrase. You can make as many copies of the seed phrase as you like. You don't even need to load them onto a new device if yours is lost or stolen; the phrase alone is sufficient to re-derive the keys on any computer (although you will sacrifice some security if you decide to recover that way).
Neither. My opinion is that it is a real problem, but the cause is not 'adversaries' but 'workplace injuries'.

A better name than 'Havana Syndrome' would be 'Spook Syndrome'. There is something that those "diplomatic staff" (CIA, etc) are doing, or have had done to them, that is causing their injuries.

Some previous 'Syndromes' and their causes: Agent Orange cancers and child deformities caused by Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War; 'Gulf Syndrome' caused by the anti-nerve-agent antidotes given to Gulf War soldiers.

Social media companies can censor whoever or whatever they want to. What I have a problem with is when government is indirectly influencing these decisions due to threats of regulation (e.g being lectured in a congressional hearing), direct collaboration (e.g Psaki announcing that the executive branch is directly telling FB which posts to take down), or a revolving door (e.g a former Dem operative who is now employed by FB deciding to censor the Hunter Biden story).

I am strongly in favor of social media companies voluntarily censoring hate speech. But the roundabout way that 1A is being bypassed is concerning.
