I enjoyed this. My “newish” system is very similar, but I go long periods without writing in my notebook, even though I keep it in my pocket everyday.

My pen of choice is the space pen, also with a clip that lasts very well. The ink isn’t the best, but the clip and click action make it very good for a pocket notebook.
The mortality rate isn’t really the problem with covid, it’s the way it overwhelms the hospitals, as has been demonstrated over and over again. Anyone who thinks the measures have been overblown has simply not talked to anyone who works in healthcare for the past two years.

On top of that cancel culture is barely a real thing, it’s really more like “consequence culture”, something that has always existed.

This may be a more controversial opinion, but I believe limiting hate speech is a good thing. I think you can make concrete rules around it, so I don’t buy the arguments that it will lead to a slippery slope of more speech being blocked.
Less that the tables have turned, and more that you define “progressive” using 20th century standards, not 21st century. Society caught up to you, and that’s good enough for you.

There's no point in fighting linguistic drift. Language changes to be more imprecise over time as laymen pick up terminology and use it in a broader sense than initially defined.
I'm not aware of any tools; I converted this document by hand in a few hours. GIF is a popular standard with cultural value, which is why I would do this; I wouldn't do it for any random obscure document. The IETF RFC website has links to HTML and PDF versions, but...

For most standards documents, the HTML and PDF versions look just like the plain text version, adding little or no value (e.g. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt ; https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1321.html ; https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/pdfrfc/rfc1321.txt.pdf ).

The only standard I am aware of with a decently formatted version is DEFLATE ( https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt ; https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1951.pdf ).
The gamification was a factor but also the person really enjoyed having their photos viewed by a lot of people.

A Resnet is not conscious, but one could argue that an RL agent, by some definitions of consciousness, is conscious.

If the measure of consciousness is the ability to have a subjective experience, then that requires that the object has an internal state that is modified, thus the same experience in different agents results in different modifications, ergo, it is subjective.

If a requirement for conscious experience is the capacity for self reference, then Hofstadter has already argued that that can be achieved with very simple rules of inference and natural numbers.

An RL agent that can plan ahead and take into consideration its own internal state could be argued to be conscious, by even stricter means that require that the agent is aware of its own existence.

To me, it looks as if humanity is trying to find ways to argue that it is anything but meatware. But I guess accepting that we are just computational units implies that agency is not a thing, and humanity isn't ready for this conversation.

“I thought that as I went on I’d learn about it and be like, ‘Okay, this makes sense. I understand why there’s value in this,’ and every day I am renewed with the sense that this is the stupidest fucking thing on the planet.”

I feel like the subtitle of the article is a better title than the actual one. There are tons of other internet related money driven hobbies besides crypto and sports betting. People trying to create then next wordle, angry birds, etc.

Probably the most pertinent part. In my view NFTs are today's version of the victorian tulip bubble - little inherent value, reproducible, driven by sentiment alone.
If one considers oneself entirely unsure about what properties consciousness has, maybe one shouldn't be trying to refute twitter posts that hypothesis certain things might be conscious. Maybe one should do the more principled Bayesian thing and just allow oneself to be uncertain proportional to the amount you don't know.

If the article stuck to “we don't have any good reasons to believe that neural nets are conscious,” I wouldn't have had this objection. Either you get to say you know some properties about consciousness that allow you to coherently argue that some things are or are not, or you don't claim that and then you don't get to make that argument. The article wants to have its cake and eat it too, making a strong stance about what their model says while also claiming to neither have nor hope to have a model.

I do actually think there are useful things you can say about what is and isn't conscious, but my comments here aren't really about that, they are about this annoying argument style where you attack things from whether they conform to social norms, rather than the merits of the position.
FWIW, there is a very interesting book called _Influencer_, by Patterson, Grenny, Maxfield, McMillan, and Switzler. It says to change things there are 6 areas to work on, which it presents in a 2x3 chart with 2 headings across the top: Movitation and Ability, and 3 down the left side: Personal, Social, and Structural. Then in that chart, the rows say:

1 make the undesirable desirable
2 surpass your limits
3 harness peer pressure
4 find strength in numbers
5 design rewards and demand accountability
6 change the environment

Then it tells interesting stories and gives suggestions for doing each of those. Like one about a restaurant staffed by former felons, and the rules they have to make it work. Or about eliminating a bad disease in Africa (guinea worm?). Really an interesting read.

Edit: I'm not sure though whether to classify with the advertising/marketing books that aim to show how to manipulate people. They present good things i think, and one becomes enthusastic in reading. But there is the whole consideration of what is really in the best interest of individuals and us all, and do we choose it based on maturity and understanding, or are manipulated, and is the manipulation ever a good thing. Too tired to say better about that at the moment. :) (and late to the discussion anyway, nor do I remember now if they discuss that in the book. ~"use it for good not evil...")

I think the book is mentioned in wikipedia also.

There’s been a push in recent years to teach the non-tech public that reusing passwords is bad, in part because if there is a leak in one service it’s easy to try the same somewhere else. Easy enough to relate to.

I wish the messaging would include email addresses as well. It’s easy for everyone to use different passwords nowadays with deep integrations everywhere. But generated email addresses still require a lot of extra steps for most users.

To change this has to first become a mainstream concern.

Today there is iCloud email forwarding.
But it’s still new and not as convenient to use outside of iOS.

Also I have no idea about the longevity of that service. Wouldn’t trust it as recovery mail for important accounts

Unfortunately, funding is often tied to playing into it a little. It's unfortunate, and a good balance must be found, but that's how it is. You see it in academia as more and more AI institutes pop up and AI master's degree programs are offered.

This is no new phenomenon, though. You can read up on why Dynamic Programming and Linear Programming got called like that. Because "programming" was hot then, but optimization wasn't. And "dynamic" is a cool sounding word. That's all.

Anyone who needs funding (whether in academia, in a startup, as a job seeker, or a promotion-seeker) needs to sell themselves. And some terms work, and those who are willing to use them will win. Again, a reasonable compromise must be found, but just like in sales, simply being a very honest vacuum cleaner salesman won't be a good strategy.

One watch out for me, is containers that use musl libc, like Alpine. There's nothing inherently wrong with musl libc, but it does get a lot less real-world use, so your chances of seeing something odd are higher. Perhaps less so now that Alpine has more broad use, but I have specifically seen issues with java.
> the effect if it were to crash our health care system

The effects that we did see when it crashed the Italian, New York, UK, Iranian, Russian, etc. health care systems. Wherever sars-cov2 got away on the population, the results were absolutely devastating to the healthcare system. Blows me away that there are people who forget seeing bodies piling up like cordwood during the worst weeks of this pandemic.

He called it the Arabian Gulf, while we usually call it the Persian Gulf. (Maybe that is why.) As sea level rose, people would be forced out of ancestral villages to places other people already lived in.
Another problem of dams is the accumulation of heavy metals and other toxic sludge behind the dam itself (usually washes downstream in minimal quantities) and the deoxigenation of the watershed due to lack of flow.
It’s up to the person proposing a new term like “slightly conscious” to define what that means. Without that I can say no neural nets aren’t blubbery muffins and it’s just as valid as any other argument.

Quite simply I don’t agree or disagree because the guy failed to clearly communicate.
One thing to add: saying "as the cloud expands its impact expands" just might not be accurate when looking at businesses moving inefficiently run on-prem workloads onto it. I'm no economist, but what a thing displaces matters. The industry estimates I've read about say it's far more efficient than the way things were done, but I don't know if I trust those given their origin. I would love to read good critical content here (anyone have links?) but this isn't it.
My favorite piece of GIF trivia is that in the original spec, GIF animations would play once and only once. Netscape used the Application Extension block to add number of loops or loop indefinitely. An Application Extension requires an application identifier. So basically every animated GIF ever made has the string `NETSCAPE2.0` in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Animated_GIF

That makes a lot of sense. And it is not just about simplifying, it is also the general disdain against taxes that facilitates tax breaks for the rich.
Can one argue that humans are even conscious? Doesn't consciousness require some form of free-will?
> We don't need to it to scale to infinity. It's a weird objection.

Is it? The proposition was that folks should have a growth mindset about consumption. Yet we're already reaching the limits of long term sustainably. I'm not advocating to stop trying to do better. Rather that we shouldn't assume we can indefinitely.

> The truth is, humanity can continue to be more productive and efficient for millions more years. We can do more with less like we've been doing for centuries.

Have we really been doing more with less for so long? Or have we just learned to extract more and more nonrenewable resources more quickly than ever before?

For example if your lifetime worth of waste had to remain in your own yard then how would it compare to those from past generations?

I didn’t keep her on my side of the bed because we noticed I slept much more deeply than my wife did. However, my wife was still waking up well rested despite being relatively alert with the infant, breast feeding ad libitum. I’ve heard that this is a problem with women who have to go back to work though as the bottle feeding and such preps the child for day care. Our daughter got the majority of her calories from breast milk the first year and we were fortunate to have the luxury of being a single income family. Obviously this would be much more complicated with a two income earner situation.

I'm shocked. I have the same mindset. For example, if I need to predict how technologies can potentially evolve, I visualize them in different planes based on the history of technologies, such as centralization/decentralization cycles, compute networks growing, and the shift to centralization. Also, I visualize how some technologists like Kubernetes go into decentralization (like this is some of primitive form of life, where Datacenters/Bigdata some sort of prebiotic soup for the first vertebrates (Edge Computing devices)). And decentralized solutions such as blockchain are superimposed on this infrastructure. In my head, it looks like a huge visual picture with different levels of abstraction. It constantly evolves

I see how human sins are the drivers of technology development
What about this is state propaganda? Turla/Snake is very real, the fact that they attacked several agencies like the german foreign ministry and others is very real, as well as that all of the connections shown in this article do exist and can be verified by doing some googling.
I don't always express myself clearly, but I meant that in a more holistic sense. If you were to construct a Venn diagram of remove vs stay in the case of many of the dams in the Columbia river basin, it's hard to objectively weigh the costs and benefits without a perspective. Within that perspective is an implicit number of assumptions that fashion a bias.

The problem is the Columbia is immensely powerful, and as such it's impact on our society or environment with or without the dam create such a incomprehensible web of dependencies that it predicting the outcome would be akin to seeing the future. You can't.

The Elwha is an amazing story, but that dam was in disuse long before it was dismantled. The case for removing it was one-sided.

Frankly, I don't want a connected car. I don't want a massive infotainment screen. I want actual knobs and buttons. I guess one day I won't have much of an option - buy a new car with all sorts of regulatory mandates like autobraking, or (re)build my own. I wish I never sold my 89 caprice.

From playing around with it, it's pretty obvious this is an extremely trainable task. I was able to double my performance within a few seconds, and I got a really strong feeling that I could become even better with training.

I think we can all agree that we don't know. The point isn't that the statement's probably correct or presumptively correct - it's that the original tweet wasn't intended as a statement of fact in the first place. "Accurate science communication" can't mean that researchers are required to formulate all their hypotheses in secret where nobody in the media might hear them.
In some more "rational"-oriented circles, the Chinese Room argument is seen as obviously wrong, outdated and mysticistic, for example see Dan Dennett.

The Chinese Room would need to be so enormous, and it would work so slowly, that it's not a good intuitive analogy. It also introduces a homunculus actor that reads, interprets and understands the instructions, which muddles the analogy and focuses our attention to the conscious quality of the person following the instructions.

I don't know, Compose is fantastic as well. The way the runtime, foundation, and UI libraries are layered make it a breeze to extend, and the layout system is the only sane one I've used. Overall Compose is a paradigm shift that is too-often compared to React, Flutter or SwiftUI by those who haven't written code using it.
In a tribe of people who tend to do illegal things, or are perceived that way, especially by those employed by three letter acronym agencies, I don't want to be among the few who are using their real name.
Seeing that reminds me of one of the projects I want to do: the "World's Worst x86 Decoder". The basic idea is you toss most of the x86 manual, and just consider all of the prefixes as part of the opcode, so you say that x86 has (numbers are top of head, may be inaccurate) N opcodes, where N = 256 * 4 opcode maps * 4 group 1 prefix possibilities * 7 group 2 prefix * 2 group 3 * 2 group 4 * {REX/VEX/EVEX prefix counting is hard to do). It's the "world's worst" decoder, because not only does it not try to actually give a human-readable name for the opcode, it is also going to give patently wrong results for cases where "we packed 8 different instructions into this opcode, because they each take a memory argument, so the other R field in the ModR/M byte chooses a different instruction".
Another building issue is the disingenuous blurred use of concepts like AI to describe things that clearly aren't or don't need to be AI...

I wonder if the early AI hype now might negatively affect crossing the chasm for future generations of AI that will be much more be the real deal.
> Do you have the option to decline or ignore an update?

Yes, but it's not very practical. You'll get nagged on every drive until you give in, and if you get too far out of date, connected services will stop working. For a comparison point, it is more practical than it is on Windows 10, but not by much.
