Both are relevant. This is supposed to be a drop in replacement for std::unordered_map whereas the other implementations break from the std API contract in various ways (either by not supporting certain operations, or not providing the same runtime complexity for certain operations).

So you'd expect the performance to fall in between std implementations and the others, with folly/absl/etc essentially serving as an upper bound on the possible gains.

They're not letting customers withdraw limited amounts. They're not letting customers pay to avoid liquidations using frozen assets. You cannot pay collateral using CEL anymore. They're allowing adding collateral to add liquidations, but make a note to review their terms of service, probably hinting at the part that says customers are unsecured creditors and it becomes their money on bankruptcy. Super shady.

The last AMA before the withdrawal freeze was really pushing hard on the idea celsius is in great shape and being attacked by paid FUD'ers with an agenda. It's over for them. Even if they get the funds back, they've broken trust and everyone will withdraw. The only communication you can get will be written by lawyers until bankruptcy proceedings start.

I have one of the earlier mid range 4k Samsungs. About two years in they gave it an update that added a Lote of bloatware, some of their own TV streaming channels full of Samsung ads. And for a bit I had Adguard home on my router and Samsung endpoints where the biggest thing blocked by far, and it was the only Samsung device in he house.

Now I have the internet disabled on it and just use an Xbox for smart stuff, will probably get an Apple TV next time they upgrade it.

I can understand that fear.

I find for myself (& others that share these issues) that recognizing ways you may have been affected is liberating.

An analogy is having a broken hand your whole life without knowing it. You wonder why you can’t do what the other kids can do. But by noticing it, you have the option to give yourself the additional care, adaptation, and kindness that can help you create a happy & successful life.

The holders of the governance token had to vote on whether to seize the funds. Something being "decentralized" is different from something lacking any means whatsoever to evolve.

Some of these DAOs are really dumb, and at the end of the day there is a team just asking for "straw poll" in a very real sense of the community before taking unilateral action, but there is no reason to invoke that here: the contract might simply be delegated to another contract on chain that allows an on chain vote to update the code to another version.

To me the damning thing here is that they have a 1% quorum and it was barely met and it seems like a large amount of that 1% might have been one large holder and so much like how democracy is certainly decentralized and yet in some countries (such as mine) no one votes and it gets awkward how decisions are made, that's also the state of decentralized organizations :(.
So are there any real things one can consciously do to make progress in this area?

As someone in their mid twenties, I am aware of _some_ past traumas that effect me but I have no clue how to make peace with them. It's been a few years already and I barely see any natural progress. Makes it hard when these experiences are quite actively blocked by our brains. :(

These 'ticks' are quite automatic and it is hard to deal with in the moment at least for me. Sometimes I'll get random anxiety from a conversation with someone when my brain matches some pattern with the trauma. Very annoying!

I've had dreams that enlightened me to certain things. So that's interesting.

Meditation? Psychedelics? Cognitive behavioral therapy? I know some people swear by ayahuasca. Anyone got any thoughts?
That's a lot of correlation and no causation.
Considering that everything in the universe is the product of some computation, I would consider it a reasonable default assumption that whatever we mean by “consciousness” emerges from computation.

That this idea “intuitively feels weird” or “intuitively feels wrong”, and that we love to think we are special and have a unique place in the universe, is probably a more serious bias.

It is probably just a difference in semantics but for me, it seems like consciousness is the only thing that is assuredly not an illusion.

We don't need new word.

We already have words like "pump and dump" or "irrational asset bubble" or "high yield fraud" that accurately describe what's going on.

By understanding the kind of financial fraud that is (or many be) actually occurring and calling it out correctly, we can more effectively put a stop to them.

In fact, although there are many different kinds of crypto scams, very few are new. Most have been run many times before in a variety of different ways and have well-defined names.

Only one way to get better, keep at it. Eventually you’ll learn it, who cares if it takes you longer than what you would consider normal. It would be a shame if you gave up just because it is hard. It’s a worthwhile challenge.

Try not to be in a rush too much, and just spend some time on a particular class of problems that you’re struggling with. Watch videos, look at the solution and try to understand it. Sketch out the given solution on paper if you need to. Implement the solution a couple times until you can do it without looking, perhaps in different ways.

If you just get in a habit of practicing (and do without stressing yourself) and you’re patient, you’ll get there. At first it will seem like you’re not moving anywhere but eventually the work will pay off and you’ll have gained a cool skill, and probably improve your thinking skills in general.

I’ve long since decided that “consciousness” is a system of epicycles that are necessary to make the Sun rotate around the precocious apes. It’s pre-Copernican.

This problem just goes away, everything divides through if we measure performance on tasks.

Consciousness is only a mystery in the sense that people studying it are committed to the idea that they’re “different” to dolphins in some deep way.

I’ve got nothing against spirituality, if people believe in a soul that’s fine by me, but eloquent speakers on spirituality don’t distract from their message with attempts to quantify it.
I don’t understand these discussions, but maybe it’s because I’m a Christian (and Catholic).

Lamda is not conscious, because it’s not a human.

Consciousness is a gift from God to humans (and not even to animals). Robots are not conscious, they are just programmed to act like so.

Once your philosophy stop including God and you go purely materialistic, I guess you end up with nonsense like “is lamda conscious” (or even more ridiculous “roko basilisk” - “is AI going to torture us for eternity if we don’t praise it enough?”.)
The author confuses the "computational theory of consciousness" with consciousness arising in computers. They are not the same. Consciousness not being computational does not mean that consciousness can't arise in computers.
I just watched a video today that I think may help a bit https://youtu.be/hIJdFxYlEKE.

Besides the advice he gives in that video, I’d highly suggest trying out Anki if you haven’t. Memory is related to how often you encounter something and with code interview type topics you rarely actually encounter those on a daily basis so it is hard to actually memorize it “naturally”.

But using something like Anki allows you to choose what you want to remember.
I started with dynamic languages, ruby is my favorite, and I use it everywhere where it’s suitable. As I observe, over years static languages getting abit more dynamic or less explicit (as they can), and dynamic languages getting some support for type checking. I guess having both in one language would be a best thing. So when code gets larger or I want to be more confident in some part I can add type validation (it could be a code that run as shared library, or communication between modules)

I also think that parameter strong typing and splitting code into service helps to design better, more clear messaging between components. Having done that for some time we can train ourselves to always pay attention to it, and it will help up to build larger code bases in a maintainable way. (I think larger code bases are more efficient from “time spent” point of view)

I often see people do same mistake: they trying very hard not to repeat themselves, and the highly reusable functions become very dangerous piece to refactor. I would rather have code copied in different modules, unless it’s very general thing that never change like array sorting or date formatting

You talk like you have never heard of Planned Obsolescence. But it has been in business school textbooks since probably before you were born.

Whirlpool refrigerators have a "light control" circuit board to make the dome light come on slowly when the door opens. It has two resistors carefully underspecified to fail after warranty end, requiring a $150 replacement board. (Lots of pics online.) Good for them, bad for us. A $2 transformer and diode would last forever.

Whirlpool washing machines have a Motor Control Unit board carefully designed so parts on it literally explode shortly after warranty end, requiring a $300 replacement. (Lots of pics with exploded parts online.) There is of course no need for the parts to explode, and commercial washers from the same manufacturer do not share this failure mode.

There is literally no legitimate reason why moisture on the bottom surface of an optical mouse should possibly have any effect on its operation or longevity.
Storage is actually not that expensive in enterprise settings. One of the schools around where I lived ran some kind of google education enterprise solution (they rebranded it to something else now but it’s the same thing) and for something like $5/mo/person (probably more now) the institution had several hundred TB of common storage and each person had an additional hundred GB, along with a complete IT package with a LMS, enterprise level fleet deployment and management systems, etc.

Yeah licensing cost was a significant line item in the IT budget but not as much as you’d think. I mean, think about it, a 1k student school will have pay probably 100k to google (staff costs money too and price has probably gone up since I last looked at it), which is the salary+benefits of like 1 and a half IT guys. You’ll need way more than that for 1k students, plus enterprise internet, servers, hardware maintenance, laptops for everybody, etc. So if you add everything up it’s a small part of the IT budget to achieve this.

Good thoughts. It can be hard to “scale” this kind of conscientiousness. You might try to get them to use an app that shows multiple widths at once. A regression test suite to catch obvious problems in certain ranges can also help and some engineers would enjoy writing them.

> This is the same kind of nonsense that leads people to search for some kind of magical "quantum" thing in the brain that makes the special mystical consciousness effect, because of some vague intuition that it can't come from the normal high-level behaviour of neurons.

It's this very behavior that I call consciousness-of-the-gaps. It shifts the unexplainableness of consciousness into the unexplainableness[1] of quantum mechanics. If the public did have a comprehensive understanding of quantum mechanics, consciousness would be rebased upon another unexplainable phenomenon and the process would repeat.

1. In this case, it aligns more with the public's perception of how quantum mechanics works rather than the rigorous physics version, but that misinterpretation only strengthens the argument.
Quantum is the go to pearl for everyone who doesn't like the idea that consciousness is not simply a result of a deterministic but very complex system of physics. Unfortunately there has never been any evidence that anything in the brain exhibits any sort of quantum computing or logic or otherwise.

Thus, the burned of proof is in fact on the the claim that you cannot get their through computation, because deterministic physics processes are all that we have observed in the brain, thus the default assumption must be that all the properties of the brain are also deterministic.

Do you have any attested sources that suggest soldiers farmed out their curses to slaves? Did it ever occur to you that certain things in the classical world had to be transacted in person? Do you somehow have reason to believe that curses, magic, religion rites were farmed out?
