There are too many little details that are too similar and our brains have gotten used to Googling. Early on I started creating text files for all these little details for all the languages I know. And now a quick search for these details is an extension of how my brain works. In other words I realized I needed to deposit these chunks of information where I know I'll need to reference them in the future. Is it "else if", "elif", "elsif" in Python, Perl, Ruby - grep or quick search my ruby.txt, ocaml.txt, etc. file. And since I live in emacs, this takes just a few characters to accomplish.

Mostly you put down what you were doing and it's not a problem.

If you're talking about tech type jobs, how detailed you can be depends. Quite a lot of tech stuff at those places is mostly not classified, it just deals with classified data. If your work is classified in itself, then they have security offices that can help you out with what you can say about it, but it's probably not going to have to be "nothing at all".

If it's really so secret that you have to pretend you weren't working there, I suppose the cover office would help you out, same as while you were working there. That's going to be a really small percentage of the total employees and contractors at those places though; very few people would have to do that.

In general you're allowed to say on a resume that you have a clearance or have done a poly. I think saying "TS/SCI" is ok, but not which SCI compartments specifically. They discourage you from polygraph details too (saying "full scope") though I've seen people do it.

The problem with looking stupid is that actually stupid people (i.e., people who do actually stupid things) are dangerous both to themselves and others. So, seeming to be stupid leads people to distance themselves from you, to avoid being caught up in expected consequences of stupid actions.

Donald Rumsfeld was both actively intelligent and very actively stupid. Staying away from him was smart.

He could have just asked the Apple droid to bring out one of each laptop in its box, and picked one without saying why he was picking that one. The whole transaction would have gone quicker. So, making himself look stupid produced a predictably suboptimal result in that case.

>We get a more elegant situation if we suppose that consciousness is a necessary side effect of creatures like us.

We are concious, so creatures like us must be concious, otherwise they're not 'like' us. This is a conceptual pit trap.

I'm sorry but I don't see this as at all elegant, it's the usual hierarchical inversion error somewhat disguised. A is a kind of B, therefore B is a kind of A. Phrased like that it's obviously false, but we see people doing this all the time. In this case the most common manifestation is conscious systems are complex systems (A is a kind of B where A=conciousness, B=complex), therefore complex systems are conscious (B is a kind of A). Therefore panpsychism.

I suppose the argument is that consciousness might be a generalised attribute of complexity, or slightly more plausibly of information processing systems, but I see no evidence for this, and frankly no reason to believe it might be true. I am very wary of these kinds of hierarchical inversion though, they must be approached an examined extremely carefully because it's a very seductive intellectual failure mode.
Everyone likes to think they're the smart person laughing at the "Faster Horses" guy in that Henry Ford quote. And I don't think the moral of that quote means what most people think it means either. But anyway...

I'm with you. I was looking for a HN comment I saw once so I could link to it. A guy was explaining how his response to "why do you use linux?" is "it gives me more control" but his response to "what would Linux let me do that windows doesn't?" and his response would be "nothing". If that person didn't already know, then there's no valid answer that actually applies to that person.

But it's flashier to have a subscription product instead of a strong commons and self-sufficiency.
Each YouTube creator can create their own custom blacklist of words[1]. That might be what is going on. Or if the account leaving the comment leaves the same comment over and over and over again (or similar ones at least) that might trip the spamfilter algorithm for that account.

I'm not going to make an account to watch this video, but YouTube comments have been broadly broken for at least a year now and I highly doubt this is a wordfilter thing. It often takes weeks for comments to display on new low-traffic videos, and sometimes they just get lost to the ether. The claimed number of comments rarely matches the number which are displayed.

On popular videos, comments with the most upvotes (often containing important info) are no longer shown at the top, even when sorting by 'top comments'. And even when they are from the uploader. YouTube uses some other esoteric criteria to decide what you should see.

What I'm trying to say is, if you're using YT comments for actual discussion or recording information then you're doing it wrong. They are there to help promote a broad feeling of engagement. It does not matter in the slightest to YT whether every visitor to the page sees the same set of comments, its irrelevant.

Doesn't this contradict the idea that Roku claims they are asking for special search results.

I'm not understanding your point here, its the Youtube app. Why is it more on Roku ?

Well this is certainly a better definition IMO, however, what does a "mindless automaton" mean? If the automaton is intelligent then it's not mindless.

> What you mean might be that you'd prefer a definition that you can use to measure objects around the world to detect consciousness?

That's not what I mean. I actually think Turing created a decent method of detecting consciousness. What I mean is that someone on this thread said the problem with consciousness is that it is not well-defined, and I happen to agree in the sense that when people talking about consciousness they are often talking about different things. Just in this one thread 2 different definitions were proposed, and the article uses a 3rd: "the feeling of being inside your head"

It filters out escape sequences on input, yes. But ncurses does generate its own escape sequences (obviously, that's how it does what it does); and so it still has to have a full internal PTY <-> what-a-terminal-emulator-would-do mapping model for what it itself has emitted to the screen, in order to be able to do "damage region" repainting correctly without e.g. suddenly making some text lose color because it jumped to a "display cell" that actually corresponds in the PTY stream to both the text and some SGR escape codes.
from what i remember, it’s up to 6 stories in some parts of the country. i think it’s other aspects of the zoning and/or building code that tends to limit it to 3 stories—often podium style, with a concrete bunker foundation for cars with 3 stick-built stories on top.

for the record, i dislike this style because it reserves the most valuable square footage—the ground floor—to cars. the cars should go underground, allowing the ground floor to be used for human purposes—ideally mixed use, even just publicly accessible studio space for creatives.

I look at this as an opportunity for beginners to get started. Makecode does a good job for kids. But at some point all the current languages require you to install something or get an IDE going. Having the ability to do everything in the browser with little setup on an inexpensive Chromebook can go a long way for a beginner.
> Dumb question here, but is it as simple as starting your question with "how" or "what" rather than "does"? The former invite explanation and the later looks for a yes/no.

Yes, this is the 101 of basic interviewing in journalism. Inexperienced reporters often ask too many "does" questions and are puzzled afterwards as to why the interviewee didn't talk much.

"Does" is also used when the journalist aims or pushes for a straightforward, yes-or-no answer. For example to interfere to a politician who is trying to avoid direct answers by trolling the interviewer with some off-topic agenda.

Well if COVID didn't exist, I would have invited everyone we knew to a large baptism party, but given that we can't do that and are basically resolved to socializing in our homes, we can only invite one family over at a time. Thus, we have to prioritize, and frankly, the ones we believe are most likely to turn into friends get priority.
Goto probably doesn't have much of a place in structured programming, but I think there are potential applications for it in more finite domains.

Though I never finished it, years ago I was working on a language specifically designed for voice activated devices, interactive fiction games, and so on. I wasn't happy writing Alexa skills using languages like JavaScript because such languages have more features and complexity than are ever used for a voice interface. So I worked on a lexer-parser for a language I invented that was very minimal.

These were the features of the language:

- No syntactical scoping. You have to be explicit about the "data set" you are using.

- Close to being more like an "assembly" language, every line being a command with parameters, but is human readable and declarative, and supports expressions.

- Control flow is done not only through the equivalent of a "goto", but something like "goto chapter" and "goto section".

- There is no syntactical concept of loops. Loops are effectively performed using gotos and conditions.

- Lines beginning with whitespace are interpreted as text or speech to be rendered.

For the purpose of what I wanted to do, this allowed me to focus more on the user experience and less on fitting my ideas into languages designed to support algorithms, OOP, and so on. The simplicity of using gotos meant less conceptual overhead; everything could be done with just if-else, goto, math operators, and negation.

I imagine goto may also be a good way to introduce young kids to the concept of programming, though I suppose that could backfire if they get too used to writing unstructured programs.

I suspect we can only handle a finite (and quite small) number of meaningful connections. The modern age has grown the number of available options from just those people within walking distance, i.e. at most a few thousand, to everyone within range of your car and your internet connection. That's billions of people, far too great a number for us to deal with.

Yet here we are, talking through the magic of the internet, but we're destined to remain strangers to one another. So although the discussion may be interesting, in the end we are not actually making new friends.
It's deeply ironic that git, a free distributed VCS, should be so completely pwned by a proprietary centralized service. (And beyond ironic that so many FOSS projects rely on it, especially after it was acquired by Microsoft. Blows my mind every time I think about it.)
This is pretty clear to me too. We survive on stored energy borrowed from the past. Energy and growth are basically finite. We do need to cut down.

I failed a technical interview at a large financial institution and I'm sure the interviewers thought I was stupid.

Everything else about the company was great, but all my enthusiasm died when I saw into the engineering side of the business.

I have to chuckle because Google's entire existance has been based on advertising revenue so if you don't like ad supported "Fremium" or "discounted" services, this really is a moot discussion.
This is really totally false.

Youtube TV - Apple is not taking 30% - that's a lie basically as an example. Most of these major players (Youtube TV etc) you can sign up just on a regular website. Apple only takes a cut of these subscriptions IF you use their platform to enable them.

If you do use them, the % is only 15% after 1 year.

Either way - the outcome is I as a user have good access to lots of good content, no crap ads, no advertising buttons I don't want and more. So it's a win for me.

I'd really like Roku to be transparent in terms of what they are asking for from Youtube. In the past, they refused to support encoding Youtube TV was using etc.

Post-secondary education, regardless of the specific major a student chooses, does provide a significant benefit to society: especially in the early years, it teaches students how to think critically. Perhaps this skill could be taught earlier during secondary education, but at least in the U.S., it is not. And this skill is incredibly important for becoming an informed member of the electorate who can separate truth from bullshit.
It would be nice if every Indian managed to get vaccinated. And it's easy to get distracted by the observation that 290 million is smaller than a billion.
