Really? A sufficiently advanced computer is a perfect P-zombie to me. This is the Chinese Room problem restated. A computer is capable of behaving as a conscious actor without any concept of knowledge or qualia as we would recognize it. But again this gets into a faith-based discussion. To me a sufficiently complex computer doesn't suddenly cross a "consciousness threshold" of complexity, but if to you it does there's no problem, which we could call "camp 3" in this discussion.
People in developing countries aren't using Windows either. It's Linux on a cheap/second hand machine.
Blocks of steel don't have nervous systems of any kind, let alone complex brains. Hell, they aren't even alive at all: they lack the underlying physiology for a nervous system to sense and control in the first place.

Seems like a bit of a hint for why we're conscious and they're not.
I'd go with a variation on 2:

2a) I am not like a block of steel, but I know why ("evolution")

In the same way that a camera takes pictures while a block of steel doesn't because someone designed it that way, we are conscious because evolution designed us that way. Conscious people survive better than those knocked unconscious.

Wow, great info. Thanks!
V8 compiles JavaScript into machine code, which is then executed. It is an inherently unsafe business to be in, while Rust might make it more safe it will never make it safe. Better to put that effort into better sandboxing, as that is the weakest link.
A vast majority of people who believe that consciousness is an emergent property would also say that a sufficiently advanced computer is exactly as conscious as you or I. At least when I believed that human consciousness was an emergent property I believed that an advanced robot would be totally conscious.
Might. But most of them are open source with healthy competition. With Nomad, the ecosystem is much smaller(basically one company), and can always be closed under a paywall (e.g. terraform enterprise)
I don't have it, because it's not my argument, it's their argument, and it's clearly making you emotional so I think it's better to stop it here.
If you had more context, its easy to read between the lines. Witchcraft is considered a serious issue to people from regions they want migrants from.

I don't program Java, but I have implemented and used similar things for C#.

Reflection is indeed used there, but not to serialize. It's only used once per type, to generate code.

C# has multiple ways to generate code in runtime. One is Reflection.Emit, allows to manually generate bytecode instructions + metadata. For instance, one can build new types in runtime. A typical pattern is implementing manually-written abstract class or interface with generated types: this way the manually-written code can call into runtime generated one.

Another method is System.Linq.Expressions. This one allows to generate code (no new types though, just functions) from expression trees, and provides API to build and transform these expression trees.

Regardless on the method, the generated code is no different from manually written code. JIT compiler can even inline things across, when generated code calls manually written one, or vice versa.
> Your comment is a perfect example of what’s wrong with “The German Way” of thinking about innovation.

I feel your comment is misguided and frankly clueless.

Research into point-to-point logistics has been a thing for the past decade thanks to developments in drones. One of their main markets is actually under-developed regions where investing in infrastructure is outright impossible. Another important market is actually automating parts of the logistics chain and removing people from the process.

What this newspiece shows is the last decade or so of research coming to fruition. It's incomprehensible how you're criticizing autonomous drones as being "maintaining the past" but presenting tech from the 1960s that has virtually no commercial viability or practical use as being "the future".
Screws have to be sourced. Stored. Present at repair site, etc.

That I can understand.

But the thing about broken tabs is that only some form of double-sided adhesive or drilling a hole and socket for a screw to replace the tab actually works sufficiently well.

So yeah, not a fan.
I just wish klog would go die in a fire, I'm so confused at why logging is so terrible in Go.
I'd like to understand more about SEO and micro influencers. Do you write or share much on this topic or have advice?
You may be missing my point. If no one believes in the country’s existence, including the people who live in the land that the country is purported to encompass, then it doesn’t exist. Nations aren’t tangible physical objects. They exist in the collective human imagination. Yes. Your passport is just a notebook if no one believes in the country it is supposed to be for.
It should've been, and it can be. There's nothing official or special about Helm, just don't use it.
I've been trying to think about whether this is good enough for me to move to Vivaldi. I wish they offered a direct plan where I'd pay per month to use a browser with no ads, no telemetry, etc. The incentives would be aligned and there'd be no weaselry with them loading up new releases with bookmarks populated with their sponsors or whatever, and me deleting them.
It is a function that works against you because you are the suspect. Your device just checks you.

This isn't a result of Apple doing stupid stuff again, but a result of extremely bad legislation from officials that aren't capable to efficiently protect people or in this case children against abuse.
I'll take a look at it when they do, thanks.
Don't know about Windows but on Linux I spawn an X session with a virtual framebuffer and arbitrary resolution, spawn a browser there pointed at URL and make a screenshot.
I think the show is a metaphor of how cruel we can be in society, in the show they'd do handshake deals with each other but they're still not sure they can trust each other, in this capitalistic/neo-liberalist world we also want things on paper with signatures to make sure whatever deal we're doing the other party doesn't screw us over, but still a lot of people do try to take maximum advantage, even if it means ruin (in the show: death) for the other side.

Plenty of K8s operators written in Java. Sure, it's not not underpinning K8s itself, but tbh, what language K8s is written in doesn't really matter, so long as it works.
Just to be clear, there are Java libraries which do thinks better in a less problematic way, just the facilities shipped in the standard library are IMHO inadequate.

So what's the problem? Nobody forces him to follow the convention. Do you believe he really is concerned by the fact most of the people do? I would even speculate there possibly is a niche distro (now I'm also curious, whoever knows such - please mention) which manages the apps the Windows way entirely.
thank you for your feedbacks

Once again, calling it "teams" is false equivalence and is low-IQ nonsense

Public servants MUST BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD than private citizens, even relatives of politicians.

I'm sorry you refuse to accept such an uncontroversial tenet, but it's not about teams, it's basic civic morality.
But then you are like a block of steel, you are deterministically governed by the laws of physics. Any block of matter arranged just so is conscious in that framing, which differs from the religious framing.
While I'm no astrophysiyst I don't think it's a matter of 'their sun was there last week, look, this week it's not' and nor do I think an artist's impression of something orbiting nothing adds any more, nay, indeed adds nothing, to the written description.
They are padded for aligned access, so on amd64 Option<u64> will be 16 bytes.[0] However, the unused discriminant values are counted as niches for enums wrapping that, so Option<Option<u64>> is still 16 bytes (for example).

> In Germany? These will hit the same problems as improving existing infrastructure.*

Germany already has outstanding roadway and railway infrastructure. DB, the parent company of DB Schenker, operates their ICEs in Germany and across Europe as well, and the only reason they can go at speeds up to 300km/h is the fact that they did all the right things putting together their highspeed rail network.

I suggest you take a look to the amount of work, both technical and political, that is required to get a single railway line out of the paper and into the real world. This is something that in some cases requires even diplomatic work.
I don't personally write much about it. There are many resources available though. The SEO ones are particularly easy to google.
If you are going to demand a precise, non-handwavey answer to the hard problem, then you must first give the hard problem in a precise, non-handwavey way, or at the very least prove in a precise, non-handwavey way that there even is such a thing as the hard problem. As far as I've seen nobody has really done this, it's always just "what breathes fire into the equations?" "what is it like to be a bat?" "I just feel it in my bones that there's something missing"... P-zombies are an attempt, except that "p-zombies are conceivable" is to be taken as axiomatic without any further explanation.
> Any block of matter arranged just so is conscious in that framing, which differs from the religious framing.

That is literally the secular materialist view of consciousness, yes.
So first there was the fictional Harry Dresden, the only wizard who advertised in the phone book. And now this.

Again and again, reality is stranger than fiction. We wouldn't want it any different.
That sounds reasonable? I wouldn’t mind my tax dollars going towards retaining this wizard in the last years of his life. He’s spent 23 years performing, we can deal with him taking a break these last few years.
I don't really know Vivaldi. They mention that they do not track you, but do they make some effort to avoid being tracked by others?

For example: firefox reduces the timestamp precision on your mouse events to prevent fingerprinting

Does Vivaldi do something similar?
It used to be, circa 2009-2015, for me and mine.

But not so anymore. Yes you pay. Yes the price is fair for what's on offer. No, it's not quality, and not the general direction I'm interested in, at all. Not in hardware, not in software.
Ill-informed opinion:

I asked a colleague from the magical land of Canadia whether I should take a flight to London from Edmonton or Calgary after travelling through the Canadian Rockies. She said Edmonton was shit, so Calgary.

As of 2019, Calgary was a kind of US-style car block city, except with nothing to do. Certainly not for tourists. I hope Edmonton isn't really worse, because zzzzz. I was interviewed by the local TV news when I tried to visit a tall building, which was closed.

They do have a lovely park stretching along the river though. I think it'd be a pretty decent place to live if you had a bunch of friends to hang out with. And maybe loads of money too? That helps.
The description of the living maps reminds me of the movie Prospero's Books - a wild adaptation of The Tempest.

I know we're just sharing anecdotes, but I dropped Ubuntu during the "Megalomaniacal Shuttleworth" days, and I still don't accept his vision for Ubuntu.

If you remember the earliest builds, they included a video of Nelson Mandela explaining ubuntu and implied it as a light, legally unencumbered OS for the world. I was helping build labs in East Africa at the time, and it was a fantastic choice for running scientific operations because of its relative UI cohesion and simplicity over Debian while allowing access to its vast repositories and package groups.

I kind of lost all faith when the power trips started happening across the GNOME Foundation and elsewhere and moved to less divisively ambitious distros that were more responsive to their users.

I've never had issues installing or using Linux on hardware I picked, but I understand the struggles of working around non-spec and proprietary chipsets without drivers. I don't use non-free drivers in most cases, so having hardware that doesn't struggle with them is paramount.
Yes, you should persist the raw user input. Why would my non-html gui app show some escaped html?
I’m not sure if we have a misunderstanding here. I am not at all criticizing autonomous drones. I’m all for them.

I was criticizing OPs lack of enthusiasm for them. He/She is comparing faster Internet and better bicycle roads to a highly innovative idea of drone logistics.
1500 net, so about 2200 brutto is not that bad for Latvia, although on the low side.

It really depends on job quality as well.

Considering how frugal you are, you have plenty of time to find a better gig.

Pure local companies are not going to pay much better though (and Latvian state and local government gigs are even less).

So one option is to move to one of the outsourcing companies or even better to a smaller company dealing with western clients.
The government of my country passed a law requiring all companies to provide some documentation yearly under the threat of giant fines for noncompliance. Unfortunately the first year it was due was last year, and that complicated things so as governments do they opened up their pockets and paid bug for this upload form.

My friend attempted to submit his and when he tried to download the paperwork that needs filing he discovered that not only was it very slow but they basically threw a webserver at a Windows PC’s C drive and turned indexes on and proxied it into a subfolder. So he could browse the entire computer and similarly could access the private data of every employer and their employees in the country. He wrote a few emails to relevant places and by the next day the entire thing was offline. I believe they never put it back up, and I know for sure they delayed applying the law by an entire year, maybe through some emergency decrees or idk. They didn’t really publicise it outside of saying that it’s been delayed. You now have to submit it in person.
Article suggests that this situation might happen in Poland too. I'm from Poland and I know it's definitely happening here. Before covid I got a raise, almost maximum what a senior developer could earn in my region, I thought it was verly lucky for me. Now it's becoming hard to hire junior developer for that price and 1/3 of my company quit recently because they got offers for twice more money and for less demanding work.
That's the problem and exactly why I say I don't think it can't be explained via a vague feeling. I've never seen someone who says there is a hard problem of consciousness adequately explain to someone why there isn't. The poster is now making what seem more like appeals to emotion throughout the thread now: "are you saying that sufficiently complicated blocks of matter are conscious?" and the like. This is what always happens.

While I personally believe there is a problem, I cannot explain why, and for a long time I didn't think there was a problem
The problem with the Chinese Room formulation is there are arguments against the near term possibility of autonomous vehicles that go "It's the same as AGI." In other words, a "Chinese Room" driver is not good enough.

What the Chinese Room may really be telling us is that machine consciousness might be as far from us as usable ML was to 1970's AI researchers, or at least much farther than we think. And, on top of that, if and when it does appear, it won't look human. It won't even look like an animal because it isn't one.
PBS was a bad example, as I thought it was more similar to NPR. NPR is not a perfect example, but was founded through an act of Congress and is operated by public institutions.

BBC is probably a better example. I'm thinking of domestic media.
Great comment, especially liked what you had to say on sales channels.

You mentioned companies working to port Wordpress apps to Shopify. Do you know of any resources for learning more about that niche? Seems like it could be a fairly lucrative and low-friction pipeline for a solo dev trying to bootstrap.
Exactly.

If I was hiring for a tech position and had to choose between an engineer with a few years of experience and strong analytical skills proven through coding & system design interviews, and a person who prides themselves on 10 years as a CTO at a company I've never heard of and two book authorships, I'd strongly lean towards the former.
Check out Chapter 11 of The Hidden Spring by Mark Solms.

In it he identifies subjective experience, for example perceiving the colour red, as an observational perspective.

He reminds us that we can also experience vision objectively, with the right lab equipment, e.g. by listening to spike trains travelling from the retina down the optic nerve.

Say we do the latter. We can then legitimately ask what the same process looks like from the point of view of the system/subject/patient. Answer, vivid red.

So spike trains and redness are differing valid perspectives on the same underlying physical process, namely vision. One doesn't arise from the other; they are both products of vision.
Like I said, the mapping from tags to forms is available and you can serialize that as well, if you wish. Using a tag is useful, as it makes for a compact serialization when creating many closures of the same function. With regards to security, you would want to attach an authentication tag that you can verify prior to deserialization. Common Cold comes with an example of a Hunchentoot handler that compresses and encrypts the serialized continuation representations.
Sometimes that's true but I've found as soon as I need packages things get complex. I don't find F# that hard scripting wise; at times found it easier than some other languages especially when I need to import libraries into my script. Instead of needing to install a system wide pip package, set up a project with Maven/Gradle, etc around the script, etc. With F# and the like you just do something like:

#r "nuget: FSharp.Data"

And it pulls that third party package into your script context. Its kind of empowering when I can just copy and paste script text to my colleague (e.g. email/slack) and all they need to do is copy/paste the text into a single text file and it just works third party packages included with a vanilla .NET 5+ installation. Just run 'dotnet fsi scriptFile.fsx`. Auto-complete picks up all the new types as well.

Documentation seems pretty straightforward to me: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tools/fsharp-...
Nothing about K8s forces you to use Helm or istio etc.
It does pose questions about impartiality, especially for any form of statistical analysis. It just sadly is the reality of getting funding for certain studies.
But none of those things are true. He’s not a court jester, he’s nobody’s brother, he’s doing it regardless of pay, and the amount he was paid for it was by all measures a paltry sum. It doesn’t look like a problem because it isn’t one.
Threads like this kill all hope I have of making a real living if I stay in the tech industry, because I'm stuck in a hole where I need therapy for my social anxiety, ADHD, and depression to maintain the work, but can't afford it due to my wages and can't get my foot in the door anywhere offering the pay and insurance to cover that therapy, which keeps my job prospects dire and leaves me without the ability to afford school. And now that I'm in my mid-30s, that door is about closed forever. Even just 60-75k/yr would be life-changing for me, much less the 300-400k/yr people in this thread are throwing around.

I've dedicated my entire life to this industry and working for startups has left me with nothing to show for it except for drowning in mental health issues from the abuse suffered at the hands of terrible clients and bosses and my lack of any kind of support network, something I struggle build at my level of anxiety and don't get from family. At what point do I throw in the towel and just take some shitty minimum wage job?

> It's likely this goes against the Charter […]

How is it against the Charter†? Airlines, to take one example, are federally regulated: so if there's a new regulation that says to fly you have to have been vaccinated, how is that stepping on provincial jurisdiction?

A list of federally-regulated industries:

> Further, you get nothing back for complying.

How about reducing the probability of using up an ICU bed by a substantial margin? In many places (in CA and US), out of 100 ICU beds often >95 are taken up by the non-vaccinated. In some places 100% of new admissions are the unvaccinated:

* https://www.660citynews.com/2021/09/23/alberta-covid-icu-adm...

* https://globalnews.ca/news/8215655/alberta-coronavirus-updat...

Yes, you can still get COVID after vaccination, but not dying seems to me to be not "nothing".

And it's not like other illness have stopped: the unvaccinated are using beds that could also be needed for people who've had (e..g) heart attacks.
Chiang avoid fighting the Japanese because of his calculation allies will fight the Japanese in China. And his real war is with Communist. Chiang is a cunning politician.
Yes, exactly my thoughts, the problem is that devops generally are used to Python/Go and in my company though they don't make it mandatory, they recommend Go. Also, they have a repulsive reaction to everything .NET and JVM :).
Exactly like the registry since application virtualization was introduced for MSIX packages and WinRT/UWP, and the application manifests introduced previously in Windows XP.
Agreed, I somewhat address this in my follow on comment. In my mind rejecting the hard problem is the same as accepting the "consciousness is an illusion" answer to the problem. But I can see the point of view that views the entire conversation as a category error.
