Any advice you get here will at most be useful for those people who are occasionally suffering from low energy during the normal course of life.

You, as you yourself stated, are having a total burnout. You need professional help. Try looking for different kinds of help if the waiting list is too long for what you need the most. Some kind of group therapy perhaps, somebody who is helping people build up strength after Long Covid perhaps. Consider moving back to be with your family or another group of people who will be supportive.

If doing a masters and having a 30 hours job at the same time has brought you to a burnout (triggered perhaps by some other events in your life). Then you can't recover while you keep on doing those two. Something will have to go (the job, or the study) while you recover. That is a very difficult thing to face and accept, but once the body and the mind has a breakdown after prolonged stress, there is no other way to recover. Any advice you get to get you back on your feet in two weeks is for the normal "pushed yourself a bit too much for a few months or a year" cases.

Why is reduction-to-panpsychism sufficient to banish consciousness as computation?

Maybe every brick has consciousness, what matters to humans is whether it's a consciousness that we can communicate with. We don't care about consciousnesses with orthogonal arrows of time, or consciousnesses with nothing to say or no way to say it in our universe. We're after a compatible kind of consciousness.

It seems to me that the requirement that consciousness itself be a physical phenomenon is too strong. It's just that in order for us to notice, it must have physical I/O.
I've noticed that when I'm tired mentally, closing my eyes for a while even if I don't sleep makes me feel better. I wonder if that's related by letting that part of the brain power down for a bit?
Well, that's a sixth axiom to your system - now you've added a consciousness that has vastly more power than all the others.

My point was that we can't find out anything about the phsycial world by just discussing it. We each have to experience it ourselves using our own senses. We can of course later discuss to devise new ways of understanding what the world is and how it works, but even then, we need to put any theories we come up with to the test to check if they actually hold up.
i had to abandon my review issue of Lumina because the constant refocusing every time i moved my head was far too distracting for work. could you please give us an option to turn that off?
It's one of the worst Linux desktop programs I use daily. It gets scaling a bit wrong so all the icons look blurry, scrolling in chats regularly breaks (scroll wheel just does nothing but is fine in all other programs), and the one time I tried to video call in it it crashed. Discord's client is much better.
YesI have plenty of decency. I take it you don’t own a business nor work in management. And probably think rules don’t apply to you. You might want to reread the thread, otherwise i think your reading comprehension is low. My original comment was in response to a comment mentioning more than a single worker, but thanks for playing.
The triviality argument seems to be an informal proof by contradiction.

(1) Suppose there exists a program `conciousness.exe` whose computation is conscious.

(2) A block of iron is not conscious.

(3) There exists a (presumably time-dependent) function which maps the microscopic states of the block of iron to the states of the computation of `conciousness.exe.`

(4) This mapping makes the block of iron is conscious.

(5) Statement (4) is a contradiction with (1). Therefore there is no program whose computation is conscious.

I think the flaw is clearly in (4). The existence of a function decoding the state transitions of iron into `conciousness.exe` does not imply that the iron is conscious. No definition of what makes an object conscious was provided to justify such a claim.

I would say that a decoding function which maps states of the block of iron to states of `conciousness.exe` is conscious if executed (by Alice, by a computer, or in any other way). In the same way, a decoding function which mapped the states of the block of iron to states of a sieve of Eratosthenes is a prime number finder.
We do water catchment in a lot of rural Hawaii too, but I've never seen a gutter system that couldn't keep up with tropical storm rains and needed steps to slow it down. We get 200+ inches of rain per year in Hilo so it comes down in buckets quite frequently.
Adding support for the Rust language to the Linux kernel
I started looking at stuff like this and you know what stopped my search?

We started buying watermelon.

Get a watermelon, cut it in wedges and put it in a container in the fridge.

Then when it's dessert time, or time for a snack, or you're just hot and parched... pull out the container, get a fork or two and... bliss.

I don't know how healthy it works out to be, ...and I still might unpause my search.
Sure. Significant brain drain might be an understatement — I don't think there are any excellent developers left here (if there were any at all). Anyone half worth their salt either moves to Russia where there was a decent IT sector up until the recent events, or wins a green card/marriage lottery and leaves for the West. FWIW I'm not leaving because I didn't want to live in Russia even before the war started (and even less so now), and I'm not good enough to emigrate to the West.
“Conscious realism makes a bold claim: consciousness, not spacetime and its objects, is fundamental reality and is properly described as a network of conscious agents.31 To earn its keep, conscious realism must do serious work ahead. It must ground a theory of quantum gravity, explain the emergence of our spacetime interface and its objects, explain the appearance of Darwinian evolution within that interface, and explain the evolutionary emergence of human psychology.”

This isn't it however: the BBC/ABC work destabilising the Sukharno communist government and their complicity in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of leftists in the subsequent Coup is remarkably well documented.

Remember Menzies in Australia tried to ban the communist party by legislation and lost a referendum in 1951 on this issue (it passed in 3? states I think, but didn't obtain the supermajority necessary)

My consciousness doesn't seem to disappear when I fall asleep, only my awareness of my bodies sensations. I often go to sleep reading, and the thoughts I'm having about the book I'm reading will continue for quite some time, even after my eyes close. I know this because I often startle myself awake by dropping my book. I also have similar experiences as I wake up, my consciousness slowly starts to incorporate my sensations of reality with the thought process that is continuously going in my head.
> both answers involve you "agreeing" with a principle about the supreme court

Yes, that's exactly the problem! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was a limitation of how the options were worded.

> so it's kind of weird if you don't agree with either of the principles given.

In fact, I think for one of the questions I found myself agreeing with both of the principles given, since they didn't seem to be in conflict. I can't remember how I resolved that conflict.

> It’s a conscious decision making process that is self-inflicted.

I doubt very many people make a deliberate conscious decision to gain excessive amounts of weight, especially if they're dieting. You can argue that people should be making a conscious decision to navigate the labyrinth of data, misinformation, scammers, etc to try to learn what they actually need to do to lose weight successfully but I think most people just eat what they like best from what's available when they feel like eating and are more often than not surprised at the weight they gain. Even animals in research labs on strictly controlled diets who have had the same food intake and lifestyle for decades have been unexpectedly gaining weight.

I think it's safe to say that there's a lot more going on with weight gain than lazy people making a conscious decision to be fat and a lot more involved in losing that weight. Anyone can starve themselves, but loosing weight while staying healthy isn't always so simple. Changing a person's habits and lifestyles aren't always simple either. If medications can help, people should absolutely use them.
> Yet people see to be claiming that LaMDA does just this, and is therefore not conscious.

One of the things that I found challenging about the quiz was that some answers were offering opinions about what should be allowed (whether the government should or should not stop a behavior) but others were offering opinions about what is good (is it 'acceptable' or 'outrageous').

I might find it outrageous, for example, that an important media organization behave in some fashion while also believing that it would be very wrong and bad for those of us who find the behavior outrageous to be permitted to use force (or force of law) to stop it.

For several of the questions, I struggled to pick an answer for reasons like you describe, as well -- for example, I might agree that SCOTUS should/should not act in a given case, but maybe I don't agree with the specific principle named.
This is a total nothingburger. If malware has enough access to steal passwords from your browser's memory, then there's no way to stop it from getting them.
I’m sorry to barge in on the conversation, but I also had the same thought.

However, I believe there is nothing axiomatic about the existence of consciousness: not only is consciousness not “one localized thing” but “a collection of delocalized features”, but there is nothing trivial about it, and I doubt very much that everyone in the room would agree on a single definition of it without getting into semantic quabbles.

Axioms tend to be much simpler.
That's conflating consciousness with free will. I didn't see anyone in this discussion make the claim that consciousness necessarily implies free will. These are conceptually separate phenomena. It is at that point that the claim "consciousness is an illusion" requires further explanation to avoid the trap of circular reasoning.

AbortController Is Your Friend
disclaimer: I manage a HackerOne program.

> After having been denied a bug bounty for reporting a vulnerability directly, and often spent frustrating amounts of time just trying to get a response even from major companies, I've basically given up completely on bug bounty programs, and will likely go for full disclosure in the future (with a note to the corresponding security team for awareness).

I personally believe that if a bug bounty program denies your report / closes it out as N/A or out-of-scope, you should be able to disclose it. The whole point of bug bounty is practically "legal extortion". The buy-in is that you're getting security details in exchange for payment. If you're not paid, the information shouldn't be used or worthy of payment. The security issue's severity should command a level of payment. If it fails to command this, surely the company doesn't think it's valuable, right?

> I've basically given up completely on bug bounty programs, and will likely go for full disclosure in the future (with a note to the corresponding security team for awareness).

I think you should still report to bounty programs, at least ones with "HackerOne managed" badges on them, because at least HackerOne will try to reproduce the issue / triage it. If you want you can go full disclosure, but believe it or not, smaller companies with people like me at the helm are more than happy to pay out bounties. We may not have big company budgets, but we really do take things seriously, and we enjoy rewarding people who find interesting problems.

For the record, emails to security@ company are practically inundated with false positive "bug bounty" reports from researchers who have very low signal. HackerOne/Bugcrowd are often just better ticket management systems, because when you get 10 of the same report about something that isn't a security problem a day, real issues slip through the cracks. HackerOne's triage team is very good at identifying an exceptional issue and raising it up to us, which was often difficult pre-H1 via security@ emails. Also, more and more, GDPR data deletion requests get flooded to privacy@ and security@. When this happens, the security inbox looks more like GDPR/low hanging fruit zone than an actual "important security issue that needs attention immediately" zone.

I had a similar idea. In addition to caching and detecting if it has been unexpectedly changed, there are other benefits:

- The end user could have the option to enable/disable caching, and to clear the cache. Further configuration is also possible, e.g. to enable same-origin caching only.

- The end user could have the option to replace resources with their own regardless of where the files come from; there is one table keyed by hash and the value is the file to use instead, which might or might not be the same file (so the hash does not necessarily need to match the file that is being used instead).

- Features specific to the browser to make it more efficient could also be used when the user configures replacement of resources, e.g. if it can somehow implement jQuery in native code, or uses a different font format which is more efficient on the computer that it is running on.

- If archived copies of parts of web sites are being made, it can efficiently check if it already has some file which is being used in such a way.

However, requiring a hash probably should not be made mandatory.

How much UNIX do you think powers your beloved XCode implementation based on AppKit and Objective-C?

Android uses the Linux kernel, nothing on the userspace is UNIX. Tomorrow it can use Fuchsia's Zircon and no one will notice.

I cannot find any reference to Objective-C, Swift, UI Kit, CoreData, Metal, OpenGL ES,... on POSIX standard specification.

I really enjoyed the few minutes I spent with it, and I've got it bookmarked for the next time I want to visualize a large number of tasks and requirements! Your described use case of "project tasks dependencies" particularly struck a note in my head.

Anecdote: part of the initial hook in playing with knotend (i.e. fun) was trying to infer the key mappings. I didn't end up checking out the demo.

Regarding the larger picture of "diagrams for stuff", my own take is that it's a realm that one tool can't cover all use-cases. As an exercise, I started listing some of the broad use-cases and my go-to tools for them...

- simple (simplistic often) for presentations - where refined tweaking is key (Lucid chart, previously Inkscape)

- large, autogenerated - "I'll trace the flow, it just needs to be sane" (graphviz)

- structured customized, small/medium flow charts (yed/plantULM in the past, next time probably mermaid)

- gantt charts or other task dependency trees... these are like the "project task dependencies" you wrote of, but with a time aspect added in... (I don't make these much...) It seems like tools are likely to do gantt or flow charts well, but not both.

- nested text lists (not really a flow chart, but a common way of organizing my thoughts)

- flat lists (not really a flow chart), how I often dump large lists of todo tasks for projects. (I like using google sheets for this; I just wish I could drag and drop rows)

Having bumbled my way through listing all of that: I was going to ask if you think knotend is still on the path to being a general-purpose flow-chart editor... but then realized you specifically talk about "graph editor", and I have not formed opinions on that topic. So I don't have a question here really ;)
Leetcode is programming.

It's not sprint planning, 1 on 1s, backlog grooming, jira tickets, slack support, gathering requirements, making estimates, negotiating features with management, responding to alerts, or the million other things you get sucked into as a nominal "software engineer".

But it's definitely programming.

It's a specific style of working, not entirely unlike TDD, with a specific theme of problems which aligns well with the content of undergraduate algorithms and data structures courses.

Is there a degree of pattern matching and rote memorization? Most certainly!

And does pattern matching and rote memorization play a significant part in real world programming? Definitely! If there's not as much memorization happening it's because the art of copy and pasting from stackoverflow supplants the need.

And presented with wishing to learn the content of a university course, what's one rather effective technique to achieve it? To do exercises, a lot of them, and when you're stuck look at how other people solved them.

That's all leetcode is.

Perhaps others think that undergrad course in algorithms and data structures is useless material but I do not. I think it makes you a better programmer.

Why not?

You have a page with a piece of JavaScript on it. Every 30 seconds it pings back "What's the status of request 12345678?" and updates a div.

If Domino's can display "your order has been handed to Steve for delivery", then a taxi service can say "Tom is stuck on the 405."
Just an addition for non tech users. You should NOT hold your own keys, if you are not up to the task. Consider an exchange with a good record instead and within your "legal region". My recommendation would be Kraken or if you are based in Germany bitcoin.de. Both do not have a single incident which was major and have been doing it for years.

The risk that you loose you coins because you are not able to secure your system is higher, then keeping them on an exchange.

Using a hardware wallet is also a risk. You can loose it, forget your pin or store your backup pass phrase in an unsave / unstable location. For example in a excel sheet or WhatsApp text message to yourself.
The book covers how quality (subjective experience) arises from quantity (# of neurons)? Could you point me to a section please? I'm super intrigued.

Your product looks intriguing, does it support Linux at all?

One concern I have to a "smart camera" as a Linux user is that I won't get the simple plug and play experience I've come to expect from Logitech's products, as there's often a required software component/driver to get some or all of the devices functionality.

I know I represent a small part of the market, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.
> But! If a single observer can correctly determine that the bar of iron is conscious, we must conclude that the bar of iron is conscious for everybody, because consciousness is observer independent. If true, honest-to-God consciousness is just a matter of running consciousness.exe, we have indeed found someone who has correctly observed that the bar of iron is running consciousness.exe and we must conclude that the bar of iron really is conscious.

This is just the library of babel.

Yes, you can find a book that represents any calculation.

No, you cannot use the books in the library to replace any Turing machine. You need the full knowledge of an entire computation, including every input and output over its entire lifetime, before you can actually find the book that represents it.

The books are not computing, and neither is that arbitrarily-interpreted bar of iron.
I've always learned:

Both IPFS and onchain. Most of AB stuff is onchain, as is CryptoPunks, most stuff on tezos is hosted elsewhere, and there's a great service that popped up that stores your art in case the chain or service folds. That's the type of new useful business in the space.
From experience managing a program, one of the benefits of HackerOne is that we can actually pay more researchers. It's surprisingly annoying to pay researchers via direct wire and other means. HackerOne is, legitimately, an amazing international payment system for this kind of thing.
I would argue that the flaw is in 5: the block of iron at this stage is not the same as it was when statement 2 was made.

Other example:

1. Ice is a solid

2. There exists a “sun” function that maps the atoms of ice into the atoms of water.

3. Water is a liquid

4. Statement (3) contradicts statement (1).
Refusing to hire people for choosing to work in an industry you consider immoral is fine. Many companies do so already only the industries they discriminate against are subclasses of pharmaceutical retail sales or aggressive asset acquisition.

If you think crypto is a massive scam and immoral, why would you want to hire people from there?
