> If the rules were changed so that speech was regulated by the government, then the rules could also be changed to fight spam.

Yes, but there are very valid reasons to curtail speech at a private level that don’t make sense at a national level like curating content, creating unique social spaces, topical content, etc.

Constraints make things interesting sometimes. Like Twitter’s original character limit, or Google Shorts clip length, or HN’s moderation policies. They restricted speech in order to create a unique experience that people liked. My freedom to post pop culture gossip is restricted on HN and I’m OK with it.

With bottom-up free speech rules, you can create this interesting landscape of private content.

With top-down free speech rules, a government can’t react quickly enough to accommodate all of these entrepreneurial reasons for privately restricting speech.

If I want to create a positive social network where every post has to have a positive sentiment analysis as determined by an AI, then why do you need to have the ability to share your negative thoughts on my private platform that I pay for? You already have the ability to do that in a public square, or on your own private website.

What does society gain by forcing me to accept all legal speech on my private site? It sounds like a recipe for stifling innovation.

I would try them. They probably have side effects, they did for me. But the side effects are definitely not worse than that pit in the stomach. At least for me. Exercise has also been effective at ameliorating some of my anxiety/depression.
I only do lightweight coding on my personal machine. I don't need a powerful machine. And coding is the only thing I use a computer for.

I've been running Linux on my old Dell laptop for like 8 years. I've upgraded its internals over the years, so it still runs well. However, it's getting long in the tooth and I was thinking about changing it.

(My employer provides beefier machines for work).

Thought about buying a Mac because I've used it occasionally before and I like the UI and display; here's what happened:

2019: I should probably get a Mac

2020 March: Covid-19! Better limit frivolous purchases.

2020 end: Ooooh! Those M1 Macs seem cool. Because it's a new processor, let me wait a few months to learn about long term issues with early adopters.

And thank God I didn't buy the earlier Intel Macs!

2021 March: they might launch Pro models with bigger screens. Let me wait for that, because I'm used to atleast 14".

2021 December: Macbook Pro is more expensive than I thought. Let me wait a few months to learn about long term issues with early adopters.

2022 February: The Pro models are expensive and an overkill for my purposes. I should just get the Air.

2022 March: a new redesign of Air is expected to come out later this year. Wait for that, unless I want my device to be obsolete sooner.

It'll probably be the end of this year when the redesigned Air comes out. And then I'm again going to wait a few months to know from early adopters if there are any long term issues with the new Air.

I realised I'm in an analysis-paralysis situation and this could go on forever.

I settled for a ThinkPad E14 Ryzen 5 (Linux). Costs half the price of a 512/16 Air here in India.

If the new Air turns out to be irresistible, then I might get that and maybe sell the ThinkPad.
Being interested in many disciplines can be an invaluable asset in life. Treasure your knowledge, and nurture it every day. Here are a few fields and strategies for tapping into your interests, and creating results that make the most of them:

1/ Postmodern philosophy: (re)consider the possibility of pursuing advanced studies in postmodern philosophy, because that is one of the fields where all your bits of knowledge can coagulate and be put at good use. There are academic institutions that can accommodate part-time schedules, or where most teachings are offered in time of the year that facilitate part-time learners;

2/ (Visual) Arts: An art practice can benefit greatly from a solid theoretical foundation of the subject-matter that it tries to address. I am not speaking of arts pursued for the sake of them. I am referring to contemporary art engaging with some of the most pressing socio-political challenges our societies face.

Set aside the fields above, all other fields can benefit from some non-zero degree of interdisciplinarity, but are hardly all encompassing and would leave part of interests less leveraged then others.

I salute you and wish you well.
At least it's refreshing that their government admits they've been scheming.
Yes, I was being precise. “Moderate” is relative to “the prevalent ideology” (although it’s not conventionally thought of as a single ideology, hence my phrasing). The point is that the definition isn’t an ideological matter.

Economic growth is not only driven by the use of new resources but by the increasingly efficient use of existing resources. The real problem is stated in Jevon's paradox[1], that demand is increasing faster than supply, regardless of efficiency, which points the the real real problem, which is that the population is increasing too quickly (though it may slow down and become stable).

Provide females around the world access to education, birth control, and opportunity in the job market and this problem will fix itself. To do that, however, would mean allowing the kind of discourse that Twitter is inclined suppress and many of its more vocal users would call "racist" i.e. being able to criticise cultures that don't give females these opportunities.

And we're back to Twitter and free speech.

According to the COSC standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSC), a mechanical watch is allowed to have a deviation of -4/+6 seconds per day, while a quartz watch has to have ±0.07 seconds per day. So a mechanical watch can be two orders of magnitude "worse" than an electronic one and still call itself an officially certified Swiss watch. But I'm sure that manufacturers of $30k watches hold themselves to higher standards - not that someone who buys a $30k watch nowadays really uses it to tell the time, but still...
Whenever we try to define consciousness, we get into useless quasi-philosophical discussions like this. Philosophers don't know what consciousness is and neither does anyone else.

Working with your definition, you've basically just described backpropagation in sufficiently deep neural nets. A feature of Artificial Neural Nets, which, as you say, probably oversimplifies brain functions.

"The underlying language within which the consciousness exists may have a very minimal grounding in some physical reality."

Your usage of physical reality is interesting. Is this the "free will is real" ala true randomness exists argument again? Hope we aren't moving backwards into the arms of religion here.

I stopped reading when it starts explaining what's memory management.

In contrast I found the explanation written by the original author an engaging read: https://dirtypipe.cm4all.com/
Why? I don't change my reply based on the author. I reply to a statement to the best of my knowledge regardless of the author behind it.

And I learned already a lot in this thread after the explanations unfolded.

The initial statement sounded exactly like the armchair "experts" one so often encounters. Actually this was for a long time the first time that there is a person with substantial experience in the problem space behind such a statement.

Why release a statement about what's either an intelligence op (if it's a hack) or a CFAA violation (as reading someone's email on their laptop probably is)? And you can't say finding someone's abandoned laptop is just finders keepers, everything on earth is a CFAA violation. It's nice and open ended like that.

There is automated moderation of Twitter, Youtube, etc, that aggressively blocks or downweights such comments, so it is not surprising that you don't find it. Go and make a Twitter account and start spewing racial hatred, and see what happens. Do you remember all the anti-semitic crap in the Youtube comments from a few years ago (all the triple parentheses etc) that are now mostly gone thanks to AI moderation? The comments section is now actually alright. So your argument is based on the incorrect premise that the sanitized nature of these online spaces is organic. It is actually heavily engineered.

> Mechanically, what would take place?

You would likely get three things:

- Informal networks of political extremists with a recruitment platform of global reach. Similar to r/genzedong in extremism, but far worse. Think ISIS, The Base.

- A tool that authoritarian regimes can use to exercise influence over open societies via coordinated misinformation and sowing division. This centralized effort to divide Western societies via coordinated social media manipulation is already being done.

- A society overtaken by conspiracy theories, with unpredictable consequences. Empirically, sunlight isn't the best disinfectant.

I make these claims by observing the local gradient and extrapolating.

The world is competitive. As long as you can blend in your diverse interests so that you have an advantage over your competitors, you will be well rewarded for your breadth of knowledge.

However, if a team consisting of an expert in each of your disciplines would outperform you, then you have to consider whether you’re mixing your disciplines creatively enough to have an edge.

One powerful mix is the ability to have breadth of knowledge as you mention but also the ability to dive deep into one specific problem when needed.

In my experience, people with wide breadth of knowledge were only taken seriously if they had an equally deep knowledge in one of the specific fields. This demonstrates they can go deep if needed.

I could make a Bill O'Reilly tide chart that marks its columns with

If you find something that works for you that lets you create artifacts of your interests, go for it! You never know what people will latch on to.

I also have a lot of unrelated interests and ideas for projects I lack the depth to get off the ground.

The real breakthrough for me occurred while I was using Minecraft to practice improvisational comedy on YouTube and realized that I can take any infeasible idea that would never happen like "What if I gave a $40k speech to Goldman Sachs?" and added "... in Minecraft?" to it.

I made a lot of videos people didn't get for about a decade, and now I quit my day job as a LAMP dev and make most of my living off tips from viewers.

Best of luck!

Claiming that law is applicable in this case is an absurd stretch. The statute says:

> with intent to place another person in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of the other person's immediate family, by means of an electronic communication device

No reasonable person would even get a hint of that from this tweet. It is a criticism of the government's delivery of a program and the alleged misuse of public funds, a classic example of speech that serves the public interest. The idea of a government contractor claiming cyber harassment because someone pointed out their lucrative remuneration is farcical.

Forget about all the topics you mentioned and study philosophy. It encompasses all of them so in a way you're studying multiple disciplines, ie. have your cake and eat it too. Second, philosophy can go wherever you want it to go, where as in the other fields you mentioned there is a high level of dogmatic norms that you have to stick to if you want to be published or rise to any sort of prominence. Third, social sciences, economics and the like are fields that want to do empirical science and copy physics, but fail at it miserably.

Often a Noble prize in economics detracts from the world instead of adding to it.

I miss the community. I miss many of the elegant aspects of Smalltalk. Maybe, since it’s release 10, and I’ve journeyed elsewhere for 10 years, I should give Pharo a spin. Any pointers for ye olde VisualWorks guru to get up to speed again?

> For this new generation, privacy is necessary,

Why is this always a given? Yes, privacy is good, but honestly, I find what I'm looking for in the first few links about 99% of the time with Google, because of the lack of privacy. They have 20 years of search history on me, including maps searches. They know where I live and where I go and what I like and what I buy, and they can read all my email.

And I get better search results because of it.

If I search for [haircut], I get the cheap places near me, because Google knows I'm cheap when it comes to haircuts, because they've seen where I've gone before. To get that on an anonymous search engine, I'd have to search for [cheap haircut near $home_address], so now I've had to type extra words and I've given up my privacy anyway, just with extra effort.

I'm not the biggest fan of Google knowing that much about me, but I also know it gets me great results, and that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make (and lots of other people are too).
Make sure to condense your learning in some sort of PKM system [1]. I think having many interests is a strength many people don’t have. The risk of this trait, though, is to have all your entry points to these newly-found subjects scattered and unconnected, leaving you with a sense of not understanding any of these subjects.

Right, “moderate” refers to ideology, but that doesn’t mean the meaning of the word is ideologically determined as you’ve variously claimed.

Absolutely, but this supports my point against yours.

> That's exactly what ideology is, "implicit context".

Yes, correct. Again, this is all compatible with my points.

Ask HN: How does Apple do UX research?
It seems that the tech community accepts certain dogma in releasing products "MVP, agile, user-centered design, user studies, etc".

Yet if these principles are being followed, why does the industry keep pumping low quality products, while Apple is the opposite?

Apple's secrecy does not help. The few articles on google were either outdated (Job's legacy) or blog with opinions and speculations.

What are they doing right that most tech companies miss? Or is it not design, but a distinctive leadership and strategy that works?
