I elided a lot detail for the sake of making a simple example about power consumption.

For applications that don't need hard real-time and/or aren't very high frequency, one could set the CPU frequency governor to always run at max frequency. You're right in that this can be done at runtime without a need to disable CONFIG_CPU_FREQ.

To achieve hard real-time at high frequency (roughly >10kHz), the standard kernel and PREEMPT_RT are not sufficient. One approach is to use a microkernel that preempts the Linux kernel. RTAI and Xenomai are two frameworks that do this. Processes run through them cannot be preempted by the kernel, so deterministic timings can be much better guaranteed. It's in this case that one would disable CPU scaling (along with Intel pstates, ACPI power management, and other things I don't remember offhand) when compiling the kernel. Changes in CPU frequency can change the frequency of the time counters on the CPU, and that opens up a vector for the vanilla kernel to interfere with the timers used by the microkernel and potentially break real-time.

Now, is it true in this latter scenario that one, as I said, "needs to" disable CPU scaling entirely? Now that you've got me thinking about it, probably not. If one guarantees that the 'performance' (i.e. max freq) governor is running at boot, leaving CONFIG_CPU_FREQ enabled may be fine. (The default governor will still need to be changed to the performance one in the kernel config, though.) Setting max frequency at runtime, however, maybe not. This is probably an edge case (I haven't tested this), but if the system boots with a dynamic CPU frequency enabled, the standard kernel, which cannot access information about threads controlled by the microkernel, could scale down the CPU a real-time thread is running on and mess up the timings. Changing the frequency mode at runtime after that happens may not fix that issue.

If I were to write that again, I'd use "should" or instead of "needs to." It's much simpler to disable frequency scaling in the menuconfig while disabling everything else than it is to leave it in and worry about it afterward.

None of this changes the point about real-time and power consumption, though.

Search Inside Yourself by Chade-Meng Tan

I learned a meditation from there called Tonglen. It’s hardcore. I have only done it a few times in my life but it really made me want to help alleviate suffering from other people a lot more after doing that a few times.

The whole book is also littered with scientific studies about meditation. So it can explain things clearly to very sceptical minds, like mine ;)
While single parents continue to exist, should poverty be forcibly inflicted on them by lack of welfare state, or not?
They might become more sensitive if the alternative nets cost substantially (i.e. enough that they become sensitive) more.
I’ve burned bridges by sharing too much with people all of a sudden. Baggage dropping on others all of a sudden is overwhelming for both sides. The listening party feels overwhelmed and unable to help and recedes into ‘please get professional help’, and the speaking party recedes into guilt and shame and thinks ‘I should have never told you anything’.

It takes a relationship where things can be off loaded in more
manageable pieces. Boundaries are easier to set as well when both sides only move a few inches in each direction. If you are given too much info, you’ll just punt the football back 50 yards into ‘I can’t deal with all of this’.

With all that said, very few average people have the incentive to take on something like this. You would need an intimate relationship, but even there, even parents, best friends or SO’s can be overwhelmed.

Don’t even try this shit with coworkers. But if you must, you have to keep the topics very scoped and piecemeal. Just like project management.

I am speaking mostly from the baggage-dropping side.
It’s not very common for people to handle these sorts of situations elegantly. I disable JavaScript by default (mostly for performance, frankly), and I encounter such elegance only once or twice a year.

(For myself, I take care on my site in the few places I ever use JavaScript, and also even vary my content in feeds where it depends on JavaScript or site styles, which I’ve never noticed anyone else do. make-and-git-diff-test-harness and dark-theme-implementation are slugs of two sample articles that both vary by JavaScript and feed, I won’t drop links.)

Wow, 8 thousand lines is pretty insane. When my bashrc started to get long, I started to separate things into different files and source them. And then that got too complicated so then I made them separate executables with different directories. But then I couldn't reuse functionality as easily so then I found myself making a package manager. And now I'm moving some of that stuff _BACK_ into my bashrc (sort of). It seems there is really no end...

I think we can say that AI is conscious if we can observe its stack-trace showing it creating symbolic representations of its own processing and then processing those and using the same language for that representation as it uses for communications with humans.

In other words if we can observe a machine thinking about its own (symbolic) thinking, then I think it's conscious.

Consciousness is the ability to observe one's own mental processes and make sense of them symbolically. That is one possible definition of it.

You are right that we can't really prove that humans are conscious, because we cannot observe their thinking.

But, to prove that a machine is conscious all we need is to agree on a definition of what it means to be conscious, because machines can be easily inspected. And then find a machine that demonstrates features that fit the definition.

If we can't agree on what it means for something to be conscious then the whole question of whether some AI is or could be conscious is of course meaningless.
Buddhism to the Rescue! In particular; you may find the Tibetan Lojong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojong) practices very helpful;

1) Mind Training: The Great Collection translated by Thupten Jinpa. - A large collection of Texts.

2) Essential Mind Training: Tibetan Wisdom for Daily Life translated by Thupten Jinpa - A subset of texts from The Great Collection above.

3) Words of My Perfect Teacher: A Complete Translation of a Classic Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism by Patrul Rinpoche - Relevant instruction manual.

Empathy, Compassion, Comfort require fundamental changes to one's psyche and behaviour to be authentic and this is where the above texts are helpful. Take what makes sense to you and leave the rest.
I played StarCraft 2 (SC2). I reached Master 3, and my MMR at the time was top 3% globally.

I wouldn't say I was that good. My foundational skills were decent, but not amazing and I did poorly against cheese or in extreme late-game situations. My micro in large scale battles also sucked.

A lot of people in the community would say that Master is where the game starts, and in some ways that's very true.

This:

> Anyone in the top 5% is definitely that good, executing complex strategies with extreme precision

Is more like GM in SC2. In Master players can usually execute 90-95% perfectly if left alone, but that quickly falls apart if you have to multitask. Probably closer to 70-80% at best in real games, if that.

Also, almost everyone is copying strategies not doing anything particularly complicated. It's hard enough to just play the damn game with a simple strategy, no point in making it harder.
I can assure you I don't have much money. Never had. I'm in a lower class in my country.

That's why money isn't everything for me – because I know I can live without it. Remember – we are talking about sold a game for seven figures… I don't need seven figures.
I have to agree. Working as consultant/data analyst none of the clients I know (most of them on the paid 360 version) are anywhere near to switching.

Complexity as well as the price tag for the proxy is keeping (even is it would be just a fraction of the 360 bill) keep them from jumping. But mostly the complexity and effort for the migration.

If the were to start from scratch they would probably go for it.

Additionally most data privacy departments actually have some influence nowadays. They would not stand by if marketing were to implement this and not honoring consent.

But there will surely be black sheep.
I didn’t even realize I had bad eye sight as a kid. I still remember the first time I put on glasses (age 12) and feeling both sick and elated at how poor my eyesight had become, yet how much more I could now see.

Your brain adapts remarkably well. Can’t see people you’re approaching? Alright, don’t try - just try to see when you know they’re close enough. Can’t see the chalk board? Whatever, just move closer.

I suspect a lot of times I couldn’t see things, I didn’t even realize it too. What’s to be upset about if you can’t see it, and don’t realize you’re supposed to?

I like my glasses and being able to see, but I doubt growing up like this without glasses would have mattered all that much to me. It would be a deal breaker for driving; I can’t consider for a second driving without glasses. Otherwise I could do a lot of the things I do the most, and I could do it well.
I don't think it's a matter of not being good, just that others are that much better. It might sound similar, but it's not. You're still better than hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people.

It's like being a tech worker who earns $400k a year and saying "I don't earn that much, there's people who do what I do clearing seven figures a year, and others who were able to retire in their early 30s and don't even have to work anymore because they became so wealthy from work." Sure, it's not a lot of money compared to those people, but it is when compared to the vast majority of wage earners in any region in the world.
It's hard to say, because so much of the work of keeping a company running is so far removed from income generation or anything else.

Does cleaning the company toilets contribute to the company's growth? I mean, not really, but on the other hand if nobody ever does it then it becomes an impediment.

A lot of programming work is like that.
“ I honestly don't know if there's any solution to this at all.”

How about the law? Like GDPR? My data is mine.

Crazy how evil Google is. Just wow.

Since this runs entirely on the domain of the website, it can easily ignore your privacy rights, with Google more or less washing their hands clean of it.

Indeed, if we take blocking trackers as expression of consent, the only possible reason this exists at all is to illegally circumvent privacy preferences.

In other words, if you work for Google, you are literally working for a criminal organization.
How times have changed.

It seems the only possible option to retain privacy rights given to us by law (eg in the EU) is to disable JavaScript and cycle IPs or other fingerprinting features. None of that is realistic.

As a EU citizen, i hope that our ineffectual administration at least tries to fight this somehow. Of course, there is little hope.

People don't know how to use google search to find answers anyway.

And University libraries have had search engines since before the web existed and a part of scholarly learning was supposed to be understanding how to use them, so you could find whatever article you were looking for in the library.

I'd be happy if the kids today would get even better at using search engines.
This is not how GTM server side works. There is not a single call to Google domains from the client, when GTM server side is set up to its fullest. The config (gtm.js) will be loaded from my subdomain and not googletagmanager.com. Also gtm.js can be renamed.

That's awesome! I know a bunch of IATSE folks and they're all super cool.

It's such a unique industry, and the excitement on set is totally palpable.

> The storytelling industry fascinates me, but I would love to see user generated, interactive fiction

I'm working on exactly this now! Collaborative motion capture and environmental control with audience participation. I haven't launched publicly yet, but used to demo my progress with a live audience on Twitch. They loved it, but I think I loved it even more.

This workflow beats film by miles and opens up so many new and unique storytelling techniques that have never been explored. It's incredibly fun, too.

I bought the domain name "storyteller.io" to launch with. I should be releasing two minor tangentially-related pieces this week: Twitch TTS for audience monetization and a 3D volumetric/voxel camera that can be injected directly into games. The motion capture, face animation, and interactive world pieces should follow early next quarter. (I need more people - I'm barely getting sleep and keep missing my own deadlines.)

I've had a few people that heard my "this is the future" pitch tell me I should join YC, but I'm trying to release more stuff before the deadline. As a backup I have animated "deepfake as a service" versions of Garry Tan, Justin Kan, Alexis Ohanian, Paul Graham, Peter Thiel, and Palmer Luckey and was thinking of cold emailing them. You type something, and they say it in a video. As a service. It's stupid, but I think it'd get their attention.

I want this because I'm a storyteller that hates film. Not the creatives and the excitement, just the mundane, repeatable work. And the projects that seem out of reach for budget and practical reasons.
Likely take it apart, recycle the metals and where possible plastics, dump the rest.
In case of Google it could be (initially) quite simple. Randomly change um-Parameters, gclid-Param and the like. This would at least make marketing tracking more "interesting".

Years ago there was an extension that did that for GA and Adobe Analytics at least.

But that would only be an arms race. We (analysts and marketing agencies) would obfuscate the params we use and switch that in the server side container.
Glad to see this is available. I bought it back when. It was worth the money.
It would seem easier to identify data patterns than script content. After all, tracking is only useful if the data is consistent.
I think the solution will be for ad blockers to invest in neural nets to detect the graph of the code flow for known variants of the script. The software that detects plagiarism will be a good start.
Lambdas, Streams… Java is far from "80s style OOP" today.

It steals the best from the more avant-garde languages and builds it in coherently. That's no small task, so it takes few years.

Therefore I wouldn't call Java "cutting-edge", but "modern" easily.

I'm not convinced anyone can just work at it and get to top 95%, or even top 75%, or even top 50% at any activity. There is a ton of selecting going on that keeps people who do not have some amount of talent from even attempting to get close. I've played a decent amount of first person shooters and RTS games and I am decent but I have friends who play less and are more talented than me. Given similar practice regimens and training/feedback, I'm pretty sure they would always get higher than me in the rankings. All that to say, I don't think that simply anyone who works at it can get to the top 95% in any random activity.
I found having the brightness of the monitors turned helps alot, my monitor lux level is like 30 from 5cm away from the monitor. Plus as a kid I had glasses because the TV made my eyes water, the new LED light bulbs do the same thing as do some TV's.

Now a variety of chemicals are involved in eyesight, histidine has been shown to reduce or prevent cataracts building up in Salmon, vit K alters an enzyme which also reduces the calcium buildup in the eye, so I wonder if eyesight is purely down to diet and exercise?

That said, I don't disagree that the special effects seem impressive -- not that I'm competent to judge.

Not the guy you're responding to, but this trap question seemed like you either misunderstood their comment or are unintentionally putting words in their mouth.

Their comment explicitly subscribes to a form of ethical relativism [1], which argues that there is no universal concept of "morally right" or "morally wrong", and that morals are determined solely by the society judging them at that time.

[1] >Ethical relativism is the theory that holds that morality is relative to the norms of one's culture. That is, whether an action is right or wrong depends on the moral norms of the society in which it is practiced. The same action may be morally right in one society but be morally wrong in another. For the ethical relativist, there are no universal moral standards -- standards that can be universally applied to all peoples at all times. The only moral standards against which a society's practices can be judged are its own. If ethical relativism is correct, there can be no common framework for resolving moral disputes or for reaching agreement on ethical matters among members of different societies.

>https://www.scu.edu/ethics/ethics-resources/ethical-decision...

It is not a particularly helpful take in an ethical debate (which this whole privacy thread is) outside of making a populist argument ("if everything thinks X is morally acceptable, then it is; who are you to say it's not?").

That said, I'm not sure I'd want to make the loaded comparison of equating "taking notes of who does what in your house" to slavery. One of these things is very clearly significantly worse than the other.

Yes, you misunderstand it. Google isn't getting any more information / power than they previously did. What server side tagging does it separates the creation of tags outside of a user's browsers and into a server that is a part of your infrastructure. You can host this tagging server on Google Cloud, but you can also self host it if you choose to.

To restate what happens, a website's users send events to a first party tagging server and then that tagging server can communicate with 3rd parties.
I thought it was obvious, but I guess not.

No, you don’t do work for money. You start an open source project and get many people to run your software. You meanwhile generate as many early rewards as you can (you can even do it under multiple accounts) and when the ecosystem is up and running, you’ll be the mysterious founder, generating millions (or billions) in passive income.

Sounds familiar? It should…

Simply never move money using your first few accounts, and whoever early people you pay, have them stake your currency for a long time, and borrow against it on decentralized lending marketplaces, to avoid spooking people that the mysterious founder has moved their money.
I've heard of NVC several times here on HN, and whenever I've looked into it I've come away with the following conclusion:

This seems like something that might work if all involved were using it. But it seems like it would be ineffective and/or annoying to people who are not familiar with it or do not believe in it.

I'd be curious to hear from people who have used NVC techniques with the uninitiated. Are there situations in which it is more likely to work well? Are there tenets from NVC that work universally, regardless of the disposition of the people involved?
