Closing one's eyes can be very helpful for becoming conscious of subtle things, especially for those who, like me, are hyperliterate screen fiends.

Sitting with good posture in a dark room also really helps. An isolation tank is good too, I have heard. But none are necessary. Just good tools when applied properly.

And sometimes it's best to go for a walk, think it through, or sit for a while. Other times it's best to act without hesitation.A big part of the skill is knowing when to do what. That's my take.
This reminds me a quine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing)
People will find ways around the 55%, I don’t see all the European founders at YC giving away 55% of their companies so there are loopholes, might as well just be straight forward about a fair taxation rate. 55% of a company is too much.
No it didn't, you'll notice I had very precise descriptors in each comment. I'm glad you accept that your perspective that Western colonials were uniquely bad is blatantly false.

Yes, there are many punitive barriers attached to SNAP, WIC, and SSI. You do exaggerate though.

> THEN, a year later, you will have to go through a detailed re-certification process, which requires scheduling an appointment for a phone call, making that phone call at a certain time, holding on the phone for an hour before being hung up on, re-scheduling that appointment, and so on, until eventually you MAY then be required to receive a mailing at an address that you have to respond to.

Sounds like the kind of shit they do for sure.

However, it's not the same thing as a time limit.
:-) Now I just need to write that same message, to 330M + 450M other people in the USA and the EU :-/

(If you share with others this different way of writing, maybe we could split 330M+450M / 2. But maybe you live elsewhere)
You do get into delineation problems when you investigate the conceptual notion of space, as well as overlapping concepts, but I don't really see this as a problem. The world as it is, and the world as we conceptualize it is not the same thing. Our conceptual view of the world does not play by the same rules as the things in themselves.

Anyway, given a google maps view of the entire world, completely unstructured, Where's Waldo? You get exactly the same problem you had with arch/aarch64/dts, except now you don't even have a hierarchy to go on. He could be in Tokyo among 13.5 million people, he could be in Siberia, he could be on a boat on the ocean. Heck, he could be in a mine underground. He could be on the International Space Station.
This could be an interesting competitor to Mux (https://mux.com/)

>Germany and Japan have adapted to the post-World-War-2 international order. They aren't completely nonexistent, but German Nazi groups and Japanese imperialist groups certainly have not dominated the post-war political scene, and democracy seems pretty firmly entrenched in both those countries.

Germany and Japan no longer romanticize and idolize revolutionary violence and nationalism, whereas the US very much still does in the mythology that its built around gun culture and the Founding Fathers - in no small part because the US suffered relatively little for its part in World War 2, and never actually learned the lessons the rest of the world did.
It seems quite clear to me that human brains are not actually doing much symbolic logic. What symbolic logic we do do has been bolted on using other faculties.

I agree. But my interest is in engineering something that works, not necessarily in creating an exact replica of the human brain. That's why my interest falls into the domain of symbolic / sub-symbolic integration - because it strikes me as a faster path to more usable computer intelligence.

I have no problem believing that a sufficiently large ANN, with the right training and inference algorithms, could achieve AGI. My problem is that A. right now achieving that seems very out of reach to me (but I could be wrong) and B. it seems unnecessary to me to remain wedded to the idea of 100% (or even 90% or 80% etc.) fidelity with our biological brains. After all, if we want something just like a human brain, we just need a man, a woman, and 9 months of time.

Anyway, I think it's OK to think of engineering in "short cuts" by using things we know computers are good at, and things we already know how to do, and trying to combine them with ANN's in such a way as to make something useful. Will it ever yield AGI? I have no way of knowing. And even if it does, would that approach actually be faster than a pure ANN approach? Again, I don't know. But for now, I spend my time on symbolic/sub-symbolic integration nonetheless.

I think the problem is that reasoning about our own minds is incredible tough.

Yes, definitely.

Two thoughts:

1. GP makes me wonder whether the FreeBSD definition of LTS is less than people expect.

2. Maybe to properly admin a modern FreeBSD box the admin is supposed to be making the underlying system version easily replaceable. i.e. Make the actual OS files changing have no effect upon hosted system/application stability.
It's like the Lord of the Rings.... the power of the ring (greed in the system) is too powerful for most (companies) to bare. The world needs more Frodos.

Your comment only makes sense if the telegram was run by a government monopoly, since fiat currency is a government monopoly, and then if people were advocating for the government to close its telegram monopoly, then yes, those people could be said to be forcing telephones on people.
Yes I built it, and I hope people like it. It still has a lot of stuff on the roadmap and supports thins like website embeds that I use on my personal site https://anthonys.space and a lot of formatting options for posts, including Pro users able to post really long content.

Still lots to do and lots on the roadmap but suggestions and feedback are helpful.

Oh another key thing is the site is built using a single Javascript block, no trackers and no ads anywhere. Clean as it can be.
You've reinvented LINQ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
it would be pretty embarrassing (or relieving?) if it eventually turned out there was nothing special about human intelligence, just that we crossed some threshold of neurons and other brain bits to ("a few quadrillion parameters") to convincingly fool ourselves that we are self aware, have agency, and do anything "intelligent" (other than some fancy stuff that looks like the physics/biology equivalent of state of the art ML).

I am a proponent of using a working theory that intelligence is an emergent property and we can in principle create new intelligences in a lab (or ML warehouse) if we provide the proper conditions, but that finding and maintaining those conditions is extremely hard. Some state of the art research today aims to integrate recognition capbilities (image recognititon and object detection/tracking on video, voice extraction from audio, text) with advanced generative models for language and behavior, as well as realtime rendering systems that can create realistic humans.

if we combine those we can make a bot that appears fully interactive, passes all turing tests, convinces typical person it's another person... and still has nothing inside researchers would call "artificial intelligence". It might even solve science problems that we can't without having any spark of creativity or agency. Or maybe when we make a bot with all those properties, some uncanny valley is crossed and out pops something that has objective AGI?

As the wise robot once said, "if you can't tell the difference, does it really matter?". We should forge ahead with building datacenter-scale brains and feed them with data and algorithms, while also maintaining a cadre of research scientists who are attuned to the ethical challenges of doing so, an ops team trained to recognize the early signs of sentience, and an exec team with humanity.
Not still a good analogy, but radiation can be seen as a consequence of vacuum not being empty from the perspective of an electric field (it has a very low permittivity, but it is not zero, so it is not empty of that property) even though it is empty of mass. If your water pipes are a bit porous and the medium on which your water pipes are was not air, but a very dense fluid, radiation emanating from the porous pipes would travel at the speed of sound through the medium, and could be detected without particles of water actually travelling through the dense fluid that constitutes the medium where your hydraulic circuit is submerged.
Um, more like Twitter and FB had a baby and removed the ads and tracking.
They have messages about an issue having been identified and a fix being in progress while the status bar still says “no downtime recorded on this day”.
I've been toying with porting a tiny subset of Unix to the Raspberry Pico ever since I bought a pair of these cute little buggers. But memory at 264KB remains an issue. How easy is it to wire up SPI to some external RAM chips maybe on a breadboard?
Problem is it makes the apps / integrations useless. I use google drive primarily from my ipad and encrypted files would mean I can't just "save to files" and have it drop in to google drive.
Correct. But this specifically solves the problem at hand. Rather than storing an entire image, video, etc. on the blockchain, you store a concise representation of that content. The collision-resistance property of a cryptographic hash ensures that the probability of finding two differing NFTs which hash to the same value is negligible. You would include the link in the token as well, but if the link ever rots, you have some way of proving what the original link pointed to.

"Am I right that the image doesn't actually contain the code, as in encode it, but rather has a blurred, stylized version of the code?"

AIUI that's correct. The code is in the picture, not in the binary representation of the image. The code generates a particular encoding of the picture, but the code is visible in the image regardless of that (and even if you have a printed version of the image).
I don't think relying on kernel extensions on Mac is a good idea. It takes a lot to get it working and I suspect it will be brittle.

I've had a hard enough time in the past with out of tree drivers on Linux. I can't imagine what it's like with an OS vendor as hostile to the concept as Apple is.
What’s the best way to use generic compute to create an Serverless functions equivalent? I feel that's the best case for this sort of compute here - well, that and build jobs, heh.

If you're getting the "do it by hand" answer, you're asking in the wrong places.

Ansible, SaltStack, all the devops automation stuff is available and can certainly handle "freebsd-update fetch; freebsd-update install; reboot".
It is for all intents and purposes a copy of the Mac layout. Which shouldn't be surprising given who founded NeXT.
Well, it's currently embattled in a domestic dispute and is hiding under some clothes in the basement.

I don't have a great reason for keeping it to be honest. It's probably a dash of the memories it triggers when I look at it, a dash of respect for its ability to have survived multiple moves and 20+ years of not getting thrown away, and a dash of not being an inconvenience to keep around.

It came in handy a few years ago when I was testing the coax cables/attic antenna network I ran in the house. Much easier to carry around than the 50" lcd mounted on the wall.

I would like you to meet stackoverflow.

When I was learning to code in the late 90s early 2000s people seemed much nicer and more patient then than they do now… I try to avoid asking questions on SO because of the negativity there.
Did you try "pkg install bash"?
This is maybe similar to some Jewish equivalents to mediation. The focus is ultimately on better action (the concept of commandments places an emphasis on doing over having the correct mindset or beliefs). These forms of meditation range from contemplative (of the characteristics of G-d, mystical concepts, etc.) to self improving (e.g. going out alone in nature and just saying to G-d whatever comes to mind, or visualizing what one learned to engage again in the topic, for understanding or building virtues). Jewish prayer and study can also be meditative, and can be either communal or secluded, verbalized or silent. [0] [1]

There are certainly parallels in other Western traditions, particularly in Sufism [2] [3]. Personally, I think that the most effective form would be the one closest to a person's tradition; ideally, meditation is a practice that's embedded in a wider setting (of legends, language, ideas).

> If you have things to sell and you have the copyright or license to sell these things

then you don't need to sell NFTs, you need a government that issues those licenses and protects your copyright by maintaining a (very expensive) judicial system and a PayPal account

> are you of the belief that anything in the NFT format (a set of software methods with a getImage() method) is a scam?

since there is no way yo verify in the chain the validity of the proposal, you have to assume that it is not valid.

it's simply logic

if someone says to you "see? I'm the author because I have this document that certifies I made it" then you can simply give the guy your money and buy the item

he will give to you a signed piece of paper that says 'this is copy #N of the series XXX made by AUTHOR'S NAME' in exchange

done

what does the NFT add to the process, except the (scammy) prospect of being a remunerative investment?

would you buy the same item if there was no 'get rich quick' label attached to it?
The premise isn't that someone with a lot of money can't buy up all the existing participants in a given market. It's that if they do, new competitors will keep appearing. Which we see happening.

The question is, how does that turn out? The theory says people should keep creating dating products to make Match buy, because it costs less to do than they have to pay. That doesn't mean it happens instantaneously. It doesn't mean they can't buy some of them. But it's an evolutionary process. They buy the ones they can buy, until one shows up they can't. Maybe because there are too many of them. Maybe one gets too big too fast. Maybe the owners are some stubborn purists who refuse to sell. It hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.

Apparently Facebook is getting into the dating game. They already have the network effect and Match doesn't have the money to buy them. Facebook sucks, but now where's your monopoly?
There's a known upper bound for the error on each pair delta caused by the finite number of bits. So that gives upper and lower bounds for the error on the sum of the deltas. Add enough bits to your representation to account for that error. I think that's an additional log N + 1 bits where N is the sequence length. Then if the sum comes out to zero that must be the correct answer (probably impossible unless the two sequences contain the same values).
650 km in 1 hour (in diameter), aka 325 km/hr, aka about 1/4 the speed of sound. So yes that's basically the explosion.
> Maybe I've got a few blind spots there, but didn't Napoleon took power by a military coup against a nominal democracy

Coup yes, military kind of ( based on his military successes, but it wasn't executed by troops), against a nominal democracy - not at all.

However the Napoleonic Code Civil and the many reforms he enacted in France ( administrative, educative) which were also spread, alongside the revolutionary ideals, abroad wherever he conquered, significantly impacted Europe. It's generally accepted that the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars ushered the new era of nationalism, liberalism and political thinking ( including Marxism, because Karl Marx was inspired by the French Revolution and this type of event figured prominently in his thinking).

Pinning it all on Napoleon would be falling for the Great Man fallacy, but he certainly contributed a lot.
That seems like a counterproductive decision on the part of Quicklisp. There's a reason that a distinction between warnings and errors exists, and making that decision across an entire package repository seems like a mistake to me.

That kind of backfired, though, as it ensure that encryption received protection under the 2nd Amendment… I'm not sure they want to risk formalizing a "right to bear crypto-miners". Though really you can't stop anyone from owning or operating a crypto-miner without infringing various other rights.
It likely is under that threshold.

Also it doesn't matter. Cloud vs vps/colo/rented bare metal basically comes down to surplus of cash vs surplus of tech talent.

Any small tech focused company is gonna have more of the latter then the former, and in that situation, cloud doesn't make sense when ansible, k8s, and the like exists.
Just a heads up it's "reminded me", not "remembered me". When we're reminded of something, we then remember it.

I see ESL users trip on this one a lot.
my understanding is that most nix/guix users don't compile (most) packages themselves but download them from a binary cache. why not would be for obvious security reasons but at least on the guix side there's a subcommand to compare build hashes from various mirrors you trust: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-chall...

You are describing an extreme cooling effect. If the Tonga eruption produced merely a mild cooling effect, it could contribute to the energy balance. Buying another year of frozen permafrost sounds ok to me.
That's what happens when a product gets big and you have to start worrying about how terrorists, pedophiles, and mass copyright crime is being committed on the platform. Hosts like Google have been held legally responsible for the content they host and have acted accordingly.

It's hard to answer this question - good in what way exactly? I'm on a 16" M1 MBP, compile times are a lot faster than my intel machine but still pretty slow if I'm being honest - I know this is a focus point for Swift 6. A lot of the developer tooling has improved recently as well making the whole experience pretty pleasant.

My hope of seeing video of the actual eruption and/or the associated lightning storm is slowly dwindling. :/
They don't delete flagged content. I have had stuff be flagged and locked and then a while later it gets unblocked. There are much easier ways to prune inactive accounts than to pretend to copyright flag them.
I would not say that meditation is about eliminating thoughts from the mind. That might not even be possible. It is more about setting intentions and sticking to them.

For example, I might have some thoughts that are rooted in a specific desire. Perhaps I feel an urge to see what's new on Hacker News. I already did that 15 minutes ago, but so what. I'm thinking about what a great feeling it was last time I found something cool on this site. So I stop what I'm doing, navigate to Hacker News and proceed to waste 45 minutes reading through comment threads.

Of course, there's another option. I could simply ignore the desire and do something else- like whatever it is I had otherwise planned to do with that time. But this is not so easy. Chances are, I will succumb to the desire and then rationalize to myself that this is, in fact, how I planned to spend my evening the whole time.

With meditation, we practice by setting an unusual and specific intention, such as monitoring the breath. That way, if you notice yourself doing anything other than that, such as walking around, planning your weekend or replaying some event in your mind, you know that you are not doing what you intended to be doing. By returning to what you originally intended to do, you strengthen your ability to behave in an intentional manner, rather than being powerlessly yanked around by whatever idea happens to pop into your head at any given moment.

I'm not sure whether meditating for very long periods of time is healthy. But most of us struggle greatly to do it for even 10 minutes. That's because 10 minutes is longer than our attention span: even if we firmly resolve to pay attention to something for that long, we inevitably get distracted by something else within a minute or two, and completely forget what we were supposed to be doing in the first place. Don't you think that's troubling?
I would love to self-host this. Are there plans to release it outside of this service?
