Turing mind: Turing machine as a mathematical model of a mind instead of a body
I always thought of a turing machine as a model of a body and it always makes me depressed to think of myself as just a body

but recently I come up with this idea to think of a turing machine as a model of a mind, I still not convinced that I am not just a body
because I've seen many bodies doing extra ordinary things but my mind is very boring and it can't do anything interesting

but a Turing mind is able to do extra ordinary things

the definition of a Turing mind is the same as a [Turing machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine#Formal_definition) with following differences

* tape is time
* symbols are videos ( your visual and auditory field, in the future we can have video formats that can play smell, taste and touch )
* state is your working memory
* transition function is your [free] will ( transition function could be mutable )

some philosophers have argued that we're just a body and mind is an illusion but in this view we're just a mind and body is an illusion.

a Turing mind is capable of doing all of sci-fi stuff we've seen in movies

* we need a computer scientist to tell us that if a mutable transition function could make a difference
* and a physicist to come up with a physical model of this mathematical model

let me know what you think

yes, i disagreed that there was 'no causal relationship', but rather that there was significant, abundant evidence for the link (rather than 'scientific consensus', which is too politically loaded).
That's an old repo, I originally started it as open source but it's not open source anymore. I'm making it mobile first and doing the web version (the mockup video on the landing page) after the mobile version. The mobile version is coming along well, you can follow my Twitter or sign up your email address on the landing page for updates.
I suppose it's true most people here (not me) is part of the 1% but man it seems strange no one questions this.
The point was to kill header bidding altogether forcing people onto google's exchange. Or some portion of the time, facebook's exchange.

Basically Google and Facebook wanted to create a walled garden where you're more or less forced to bid on their ad exchanges. Since they control the ad exchange they can front-run everyone and bid using insider info.

By eliminating all other competitors Google and FB can basically collude to split the pie.

By valuing it. Apple's annual revenue is more than the entire government budget of Saudi Arabia. That's a pretty meaningless comparison, but certainly gives an idea of the scale. There's asymmetry in security, but only one side is trying right now.
Wasn't suggesting that one make a career of Java, but rather apply the knowledge learned in using a statically-typed, compiled language with OO and functional bits. Hopefully advancing to using languages with type-inference as one progresses.
Yeah, I think he went much further with the whole ape thing in the short story which had the other problematic issues as well. He was kind of just crippled in the game which made sense as a lot of his self image was based on his physical strength as an army officer.
> Researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk warn that “Facebook reads accelerometer data all the time. If you don't allow Facebook access to your location, the app can still infer your exact location only by grouping you with users matching the same vibration pattern that your phone accelerometer records.”

Really weaselly phrasing here. Seems designed to persuade you that FB is actually doing this.

Forbes is indeed barely readable clickbait garbage and has been for many years.
Interesting how this peer review argument comes out selectively and not when something like Surgisphere happens and their bogus findings are immediately passed off as the ultimate truth.

I see that towards the end of your comment that you're inferring the page has issues with the statistical calculations. Here's the easy solution to get past that and get us talking about what matters: disregard whatever problems you have with the page and look at the actual studies. I think it's absolutely preposterous that people are disregarding life saving research based on which web site serves as a vehicle to get them to it. Read through a few of the studies as I have, and let's have a conversation around the most promising.

Its not that certs are inherently bad [although they are easy to game and tend not to be very related to job skills], its that they are highly correlated with not knowing anything.

People who know stuff have no need to gets certs so don't, even though they could easily pass the test. The end result is the only people who get certs are the people who have nothing better to put on their resume, which typically are bad hires.

I suspectcthe main reason cssip is worth anything to anybody is you have to have at least 4 years experience to take it, and having 4 years is definitely worth something.

In my view if a prosecutor, judge or cop breaks intentionally or knowingly break the rules, it should be treated as a very serious crime and they should be punished harshly. These people are trusted by society with enormous power over people's lives and their behavior should have the highest integrity. Once people have doubts about the legal system, a civilized society can't really work properly.

A vast majority of the workers in the legal system are doing their job with honesty. It should also be in their interest to get rid of corrupt people.
FWIW, you can trivially pirate music from an iTunes library [1] with an external hard drive or USB stick or, in fact, an iPod mounted as an external drive. You could also play music from an iPod that was plugged in, IIRC, which should have been enough for the recording studio/karaoke use case. But you couldn't just copy music from an iPod to your own library, indeed (I doubt the music industry would've gone along with that for very long, either).

[1] except DRM'd music, such as music purchased on the iTunes Store between its debut in 2003 and 2009.

I don’t believe you.

Landfills rapidly filling with last year’s “innovation“ and people getting increasingly dissatisfied with their jobs, because they lost touch with the actual product they are allegedly working on, should be an indication on a larger scale…

Apart from all those wonders of petrol-chemistry, like fast-fashion: Short smartphone cycles with minuscule improvements; Uber and food delivery services offering nothing, but minor convenience in exchange for a race to the bottom in worker exploitation (very genius. such innovation.); e-scooter sharing services disposing LiPo batteries in every larger city’s water bodies; X as a service; everyone having advice for sale; every fart commercially exploited…

Sorry, I really don’t believe you, if you tell me you haven’t noticed the economy getting high on its own supply. C’mon, whole sectors are “content creation” and engagement manufacturing for the sake of selling ads, or creating yet another f2p mobile game optimized for getting the kidz addicted.

I mean, just turn off adblock and see for yourself. Someone made all that shit!
> Why a new agency? This is already very much within the FBI’s jurisdiction.

Based on an estimate of the design of organizations: Sometimes you expand an existing function within an organization, sometimes you add a sub-organzation (e.g., a division), sometimes you create a new organization. Which, when, and why? Standard CEO fare. A couple basic considerations off the top of my head:

Organizations have priorities. As one example, the story (I can't promise perfect details here) is that the US Air Force has always had the priority of pilots - it's run by pilots, they are glorified - strategic bombers and air superiority (air-to-air) fighter planes. Tasked also with providing close air support for ground soldiers, drones for surveillance, and orbital operations, they don't quite get around to those needs: They want bombers and air superiority fighters, flown by pilots, so that's what gets attention, that's what they invest in researching, developing, and buying - F-35's, B-21's, etc. (name a high-price uber-tech platform they've built for close air support, surveillance, or space). For close air support, they insist the F-35 will do it well enough as a secondary function, and want to cut other options - 'well enough' is not the language of priority. It's a constant battle to get them to deliver on these other needs. Partly for that reason, the Marines provide their own air support and the Army has helicopters - they have different priorities than the Air Force - and the US created a separate Space Force.

Organizations also have competencies, which affects the expertise of leaders, the acquired deep organizational knowledge, the asset investments, the organizational structure, and the culture - systems engineers have a different culture than movie actors. If the people in the executive meeting know storage but not networking, you can imagine the results for the networking function. Consider recruiting, training, mentoring, and promotion for networking personnel. Just consider office locations, which will be near the storage talent and facilities, but not near the Internet exchange and networking talent hotbed.

The FBI's priority has been terrorism. Catching domestic terrorists seems much different than investigating cybercrime. The FBI leaders have little expertise in the latter; the entire organization is built around the former. The agent training and skills needed for cybercrime and terrorism seem completely different, the assets needed seem completely different (field offices versus high-performance, highly secure computing centers). I would guess the culture would be very different, with cybercrime placing a very high priority on intellectual ability seated in a room, not interpersonal skill (interviews, etc.), tactical decisions, and physical action around the world. My impression is that a different agency, or at least a major FBI division that reports directly to the top, is needed.
My ethical code says yes. Perhaps you feel differently.

If I live next to you and I discover that I can see a member of your family when they are getting undressed, are you suggesting it would be ethical to repeated watch or even record them in the nude? What if I shared those recording with others? Do you still feel that is ethical behavior?
If I understand the point you’re trying to make - I appreciate it, but I wonder if you might be talking past each other.

Just to be clear, consensus is intentionally very different from a simple majority system - the way that most of the historical racist systems have perpetuated.

It’s certainly not impossible for these things to exist in a consensus based environment, but it’s a different beast.
Usually sending just "help" and no other data is preferred. Don't send screenshots, don't make use of the ingame reporting tools (pressing F11), don't send steps to replicate.
I can understand the hate behind null-safe operators, but why properties? Why is bad to have an ability to "upgrade" a member variable into a property, without breaking any existing contracts? I really hate that I need to resort to using setters and getters in Java because those are bad for searchability.

I have literally hundreds of ideas.

As an experiment I put them on a website for anyone to see and "steal": https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/e4132d5a44014b2aad81d815...

I'm not saying those are all great, profitable ideas.

I'm saying that they are doable by a competent programmer and unique enough. Certainly not "done a zillion times by others".
> Just to be clear, consensus is intentionally very different from a simple majority system

Ok call it a consensus then. We as a society, want to make laws, that prevent certain communities from enacting a "consensus" to kick out certain races from where they live.
> We have all sorts of laws that "control how entire populations should live" - they can't steal; they have to drive on the proper side of the road, not too fast, and stop in certain places; they can only put their trash out on certain days of the week.

Every one of these has immediate consequences. How many laws exist that are about consequences in the mid to far future? Immediate consequences are obvious, but far future consequences are highly debatable especially considering we don't know what tech will exist in the future.

> complete nonsense if you think for a moment, it's really about aggression to confound the 'enemy'. You've made your fellow citizens, other human beings, into enemies.

Why not put the responsibilities on corporations? They're the ones doing the most pollution on almost every scale. People just buy/use what is available. Individual action isn't even needed, only corporate action, and they seem to be the ones pushing for political changes the most.

It should be a battle fought at the large corporation levels, and if they just remove services and provide new ones, there's nothing the average person can do. Instead we see them funding political movements that would result in corporations having more control over the individual at the population scale. Meanwhile they have virtually zero accountability from government. My point here, is that it shouldn't matter what people believe. Maybe scientists should push for corporations to change, and for government to hold them accountable for things they have already done. This would have nothing to do with believing the science.

We all judge by what we see. Obviously that's never the whole truth -- that much has always been true. So I never claimed to have the whole truth of the situation; of course I don't, it would be hugely naive for me to claim otherwise.

My general stance basically is "don't look at what's written, look at what people can do and get away with it because that's exactly what most people will do".

I'd like to add, the police get called for things that aren't law enforcement related. But we don't have alternatives, do we. And that is unfortunate.

That said, from the swell of defund the police, there have been refernces to establish other groups aside the police (e.g., for someone having a psychological / mental health episode).

I address this when I say that rights are that which is claimed, by force if necessary. That’s what keeps the entire nation intact, folks and institutions, and legal systems are just an extension of the threat of force, and the system has now bent back on itself like an ouroboros. Rights are never given. They are taken from those who would deny them us. It’s an affirmative claim about your belief system in society to say you believe in inalienable rights. It’s patriotic to believe in this common goal, in my opinion.
My 5-odd side side projects over the last decade have mostly been tools I've built for myself, that I thought other people might also find useful (and a bit for developing new skills, and fun). Though I thought it might be nice to get a few dollars for ongoing work/support, but in most of my cases, the options to monetize are too complicated to bother with - in my case wanting corporate users to pay some amount, while being free for personal users. The time involved in setting this up isn't worth the likely (lack of) return.

Honestly, even listing in an app store is a pretty big barrier (bureaucracy-wise) these days for a side-project - on one project I probably spent more time jumping through these hoops than on developing a MVP.

Yes, I agree with all these points. I wasn't trying to suggest that access to knowledgeable teachers isn't necessarily, but giving second-best options to those for whom that's not an option.
As far as books go, we used "Real Analysis" by Carothers for analysis in undergrad at Caltech and it's one of only two math textbooks (the other being Dummit and Foote for algebra) that I go out of my way to recommend, particularly for self study. It's probably not a sufficient book if you're pursuing a Ph.D. or anything, but I would definitely not start out with Rudin (too little hand-holding, you'll die), and Carothers was amazing.
Having more options to share medical records would be helpful as well (with patients consent obviously). Legacy attitude stating that all medical information should be kept super private is irrational and to me looks like a cargo cult.

Kotlin is still way ahead of Java with IMO essential features like:

- Explicit null

- Extension methods

- Getters/setters which use property syntax

- == instead of Object.equals confusion

Also Kotlin's this-scoping and delegated properties, while they take a while to get used to, can be incredibly useful. They make it possible for to write typesafe DSLs like kotlin-html.

Moreover, Kotlin is usually very easy to integrate with existing Java projects. Setting up Kotlin in Gradle is just adding a plugin, and Kotlin automatically imports and exports java code. And it runs on the JVM so it will support most platforms that also support Java. And one of the top Java IDEs and contributors (JetBrains) maintains and prioritizes Kotlin.
>If HR is infact the reason why this doesn't happen then HR is hamstringing the rest of the company.

Yes, exactly.

The thing is you then have to hire a competent HR member to do all this. Believe it or not, the HR industry is actually even more mercenary than the software developer industry.

If you want a good HR employee, it costs money.

All in all it adds up to a "high investment, high reward", approach to hiring and retaining employees. Highly paid HR, highly paid employees, all as pre-requisites to a "good faith" market indexed pay raise.

But for many, many companies, this HR model doesn't make sense, or else management has decided not to implement it.

Covid disinformation is undeniably harmful and contributes absolutely nothing. Social media networks choosing to pull down harmful misinformation is entirely consistent with not only how they operate but how society operates as a whole.
