Computation is rarely the problem.

It's all about sensors and actuators.

One of the best college projects ever was to make a "drink pouring machine". You have a half-dozen bottles of various alcohols and other liquids, a circular table, and a glass. Now, pour a martini. Now, pour a gimlet. etc.

What a nightmare! The liquids have different viscosities and consequent pour rates. And shutoff is rarely clean. And don't rotate too fast or you will mess up your glass position. It goes on ... and on ... and on.

Everyone who did that project came out ... changed.
Yes, this is something that I wish more employers recognized. Applying to jobs can be quite time-consuming, especially once you start to get multiple interview requests. That said, some applications are also time-consuming and can take hours to complete, especially if they require custom documents that explain how your qualifications satisfy the requirements or how your career/research goals fit into the context of the position. I feel like those kind of writing prompts would be better later in the process, perhaps during the interview stage, rather than upfront during the application stage.
I didn't know, that a question for "any definitive scientific research results" "doesn't make any sense".

A program running in a computer doesn't perceive anything at all. Why we do is the hard problem.
WSL2 does give you the real Linux kernel, if you want to have Windows with the real-deal Linux kernel. You’ll miss some things inherent to using a VM, but that’s probably the same for any comparable solution.

That said, I’m certainly not trying to convince anyone to use Windows. By all means, run Linux as your desktop if you want to. I do.
In the context of HN where (apparently) a little over half of the audience is in the US, the state is pretty relevant. (I say as a Canadian.)
So forget about the feed. Really, who cares about that stuff?

I am not an apologist for LinkedIn but I got my last three jobs through recruiters that found me that way and think it is an awesome tool, for free.
By contrast, Strawson is so enthralled with the primacy of experience that he can easily dismiss the demonstrable facts that literally everything his experience is telling him is a fiction (the world is not classical, there is no continuity of self, that our perceptions reflect evolutionary fitness and not truth, etc., etc.), and yet still maintain that experience itself must somehow be an exception. Pretty absurd indeed.
The Office was utopian compared to real-life Corporate America.

The kind of mean-spirited pettiness that drives actual post-2000 capitalism, and it gets worse the higher you go, is so depressing and repugnant that it can't be put on TV.

Also, characters with no redeeming qualities are considered bad writing. But most coprorate executives are people with no redeeming qualities. You can't put them in fiction; unlike a well-written villain, they'll suck everything into a hole. Even Bill Lumbergh on Office Space had his charms.
My favorite riff on these is when the poster is headed to an interview but saves a dog along the way, and the dog turns out to be the interviewer.
I always hear this argument but I’ve never seen it be dangerous in my day to day. We deal with defaults all the time in programming and it’s generally fine

It sure felt a lot bigger than it does now.
Nothing like the fear of poverty and homelessness to bring people together, I guess.
Interestingly, I started following a few tech people on LI who create interesting content (no cringe) and use it similarly as Twitter, but without the 280 char limit. As a result, my LI feed is now probably more interesting than FB feed. (To be clear: It doesn't say much good about LI itself; rather the bar going really low due to FB becoming a deserted place and ads machine / self-promotion factory.)
> When in the history of mankind have the censors ever been the good guys?

It's not called censorship when it is the right and reasonable thing to do. In many cases, it is simply decision making done collectively by society. For example, we don't tend to allow blatantly religious proselytizing in public schools by teachers. Is that censorship? Maybe? Is it controversial? Not really.

Education is actually a good example -- as decisions are constantly made in terms of what is and is not made available to students. It's easy to find decisions that are blatantly wrong -- for example, banning "A Big Mooncake for Little Star," which is a book about a little kid eating a cake. (But there are other choices that are obviously correct, such as banning books in school libraries that are blatantly misleading.

Whether something is considered censorship is often a matter of perspective.
you can also combine them.
Just imagine a world where LinkedIn didn’t exist. Countless other companies could’ve formed to build something far better. But because of network effects we get stuck with whatever horrible design won because they were first and scaled up.
Sadly there really is not much.

You can email me at <my username>@gmail.com

Would love to collaborate to develop some ideas and build some prototypes to try them out!

The hardest (or saddest) part of being on LinkedIn is not seeing cringe posts by half-strangers but seeing how people you know well in real life change their behaviour or tone drastically on LinkedIn.
Alternate app stores, like F-Droid, trigger no "dire warnings" when used.

Wicked! What’s your goto when things are ambiguous? I find myself defaulting to stuff I learned from my parents when I was young. Not because I believe I was raised perfectly or in the One True Way, but because I don’t know what to do and that’s the pattern I default to. Any ideas??

I’d dig getting get of patterns and parenting in the moment, but it’s very hard (for me).
I haven't used Youtube Premium myself, but I've heard many reports of both ads and promotional crap that gets through to premium users.

I'm also pretty sure that data collection is still on, meaning that you'll get tracked and ads elsewhere (such as on Google.com) based on tracking your youtube premium behavior.
It would help with scale if practically every well equipped gym and veterinarian had one. Also, a large supply of used machines will eventually exist so even poorer locations can afford one.

This might have some interesting industrial applications as well (checking composites for defects, food packaging, etc). There might be some other applications that are currently unknown as MRI machines are too expensive (eg: checking beams in bridges).
Isn’t it the case that when you’re an undergraduate you do the grunt work and collect and process all the base data, and the risk is actually on the side of the supervisor?
> Because subjective awareness is not a perception, they're two entirely different kinds of of concepts.

Not under eliminative materialism.

> You could convince me both the needle and the pain are illusionary, but not that my experience is.

The ineffability of the experience of the pain is the qualia that needs explanation, the rest are all compatible with mechanistic explanations. It is the ineffable quality that disappears under any serious scrutiny.

Edit: if you want to understand how eliminativism can work scientifically, I suggested reading this paper:

The attention schema theory: a mechanistic account of subjective awareness, http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00...

An analogy for tech nerds would be how the illusion of multitasking on a single CPU machine arises from imperceptibly fast context switching. Something similar happens in that theory, where our perceptual faculties are constantly switching between perceptual signals from our internal representation of the world, and the perceptual signals from our senses.
> Why would the majority of gems have anything at all to do with Rails or need it to work as advertised?

That's what your often hear from "Rails skeptics". According to them people don't even know what is Rails and what is Ruby, and that because of this, gems either have Active Support as explicit dependency, or use Active Support extensions without knowing it and then don't work outside of Rails.
I read through this quickly, it looks like pretty good advice and in plain language. I'm happy to see this actually and would like to see more broadly accepted "best practices" on how to design systems with ML as a component - there are always lots of guidelines about how to train models and whatnot, but far less authoritative stuff on how to effectively make an ML model part of a bigger piece of software, which is often way more complex
Personally I don't think 15% is that unfair for businesses that make $1 million or less per year which is what Apple charges[0]. If I had a business making $500,000 / year and most of that revenue was through organic sales through the app store's search I would be wildly happy about that and also send yearly gifts of appreciation to Steve Jobs' family. Note to readers: I don't own any Apple products or do mobile app development but I used to be involved with selling courses on certain platforms that take a 50% cut.

But, if you were really unhappy about it then the solution is kind of easy on paper. If every developer pulled their apps from the app store in unison and suffered a short term loss then Apple's sales commission would drop to $0 and they would announce a cut in rates probably within 48 hours -- no regulation or competition needed. This strategy works for any marketplace.

At this point we are all just living in The Wire all the time.

So many of our institutions have been corrupted from the inside by the more ruthless nature of careerism that’s taken over the modern world. Bond rating agencies endorse junk debt, doctors say opiates aren’t addictive any more, epidemiologists say the politics of your protest determine if it’s safe during a pandemic, elite educational institutions tell you going into crippling debt will be good for you.

Literally every institution, including ones supposed to serve the public, is rotting from the inside out from people bullshitting to keep their job or get promoted.

I am a radiologist.

FDG PET/CT is not used to stage intracranial metastases due to background brain activity significantly reducing sensitivity. You’re likely only detecting lesions 1cm or greater in the brain, or ones which demonstrate low metabolic activity and appear dark.

MRI is much more sensitive and specific and is the standard of care for staging in my practice and as per the NCCN clinical guidelines. I haven’t been to any institution or heard of one where PET is used for staging of brain metastases.

Not sure where this is coming from.

I think it's interesting how they justify giving 1 million of the donation proceeds to the Organisers but then decide that the rest just doesn't make the cut.

USB-C I don't have much a of view on but I absolutely think it's the role of government to address the "Apple tax". After safety the main purposes of regulation should be the elimination of rent seeking behavior and I can think of few better examples then Apple.
>Sure you have a choice--most obvious is Android and in fact that is what most people use. I really don't understand how you can call Apple a monopoly unless you call all vertical integration such

And what's wrong with more choice?

Because it's about defining the market. To me the market is iOS apps. Not Android apps. I can't get Android apps on iOS nor vice versa. The EU has ruled similarly when using anti-trust against Google: "Google's app store dominance is not constrained by Apple's App Store, which is only available on iOS devices." [0] It's about barrier of entry. "Android device users face switching costs when switching to Apple devices, such as losing their apps, data and contacts, and having to learn how to use a new operating system". A monopoly in California wouldn't be considered okay because you can always move to Florida.

And if you wanna bring up that car analogy, no car manufacturer has monopoly power. Using the term the way the FTC uses it: "a firm with significant and durable market power" [1], not an actual monopoly. You can't really say that Apple, the most valuable company in the world, isn't.

US anti-trust has ruled against vertical integration before when it has harmed competition in the "Hollywood Antitrust Case of 1948". Even if you say Apple isn't a monopoly, movie studios were an oligopoly like we have now with Google and Apple.

LinkedIn would be so much better if it was just a web interface for your resume and a rolodex for your networking contacts. Like basically all other "social" sites, the feed is what makes the site awful and turns it into a "how can I promote myself" cringe-fest. Get rid of the feed (and messaging, and job board, and notifications, and news) and it would be great.
Even Kindle (Amazon) does not do this.
This has been the case for me for a long time.

I’ve had a similar experience but heard back from the Founder that many of the invites from before January 8th didn’t go through, and that he manually approves a new batch every few weeks now
On a personal basis--and leaving aside the marketing benefits that companies see--it's basically a self-updating Rolodex. I selectively accept invites, haven't updated my sparse resume in over a decade, and use it to check where people are or what their titles are.

Why would anyone want to be around billionaires?
Performance reviews are garbage. They are not needed. They exist as a way for the capital-owning class to remind workers that they are seen as subhuman and will be thrown back on the streets the minute they are no longer seen by their masters as productive.

If someone needs to be fired, you don't need to put them through a humiliating process. Explain what happened and why, give them a decent severance and a good reference, and say goodbye.

PIPs are a way for executives to externalize costs of firing unto the team (which has to deal with wrecked morale, an overtaxed manager, etc.) while claiming they "saved money on severance" by firing or force-quitting people for free.

In the case of average performers, reviews are harmful because they prevent a person from being able to reinvent themselves.

In the case of high performers, they are not really needed because they should know in other ways than being told, "You're a 4.3 and will stay a 4.3 as long as you don't annoy me", every year.

And for managers, they consume an inordinate amount of time and make people unhappy. No one wins but the highest of the higher-ups who profit by pitting working people against each other.

> What is notable about qualia is that it is possible to have them at all. An illusion is definitionally a qualia. You cannot have an illusion without qualia existing.

I think that's incorrect, as it relies on a definition of "illusion" that begs the question on the existence of a subject, just like Descartes. Define illusion as "a perception that directly entails a false conclusion", and there is no subject needed.

> I think he wants it to be possible that you can somehow experience things in a non-mysterious way, and this this non-mysterious experience explains the mysterious experience stuff. I think he's wrong.

No, what he's saying is that there is no "you" to experience anything, there are only scattered but correlated thoughts that are stitched together in a way that produces a false conclusion that there is a "you".
Nice concept but there’s a few areas this can be refined to keep the difficulty the same while making the game much more charitable to players.

1. Given you have triangular blocks and diagonal movements, the board should probably be angled too instead of rectangular. Maybe experiment with having a tapered bottom to the screen.

2. In Tetris ever piece can connect with every other piece to form a new block. This isn’t true here. You have some blocks that are squares (orientated with a flat bottom). Some that are squares by diamond orientated (ie rotates 45 degrees). Some that are entirely diagonal. This means that a lot of the pieces do not work together. You’re also effectively creating 8 different orientations to match rather than 4 while still only allowing shapes to rotate in 4 different orientations. So you need to spend a lot more time deciding upon what pieces are available. I don’t think having more pieces is the solution here either because you just reduce the likelihood of a piece you need from dropping.

The controls work surprisingly well on mobile though the drop button is a little too
Easy to accidentally hit. But that’s nit picking because it’s a pretty decent experience otherwise.
Interested to hear more about those dystopian pilates classes. And to think, I was shelling out my hard-earned money when I could have just been popping pills for the same effect.
The former's inherent namespacing is exactly why I prefer it. You know exactly where each method came from (it's a method that exists in a `some_array` instance namespace); inversely, I have no idea where `has_my_thing(foo)` comes from or what all it can be used for if it's just sitting in the global namespace.

Very often, when I'm learning new code, there's one line I'll write over an over in console bindings:

> some_object.methods

It provides a super-easy way to learn what methods are actually relevant to `some_object` without having to pour over every method available in the global namespace and figure out whether `some_object` is a valid argument to each. You can also apply set logic like `some_object.methods - {}.methods` to return only the methods available on `some_object` that AREN'T on typical objects, which is a very, very, very powerful learning/exploration tool.

For example,

irb(main):003:0> PaypalService.methods - Service.methods
=> [:create_prepay_invoice, :build_client, :capture_invoice_funds, :get_order_info, :get_plan_price]

Side note: you can also call `.source_location` on any method to see exactly what file/line it's defined in (even in core ruby/rails methods). There's a lot of other inspection methods available to learn more about objects and what you can do with them, which IMO is a benefit over your latter example.
I really was once in a meeting where a homeless guy had his face against the window peering in from the outside. While we were discussing what, if anything to do about it, someone recognized the homeless guy as our corporate lawyer. In fact, he wasn't homeless at all, just disheveled. We went outside and brought him in as he was supposed to be attending this meeting.
