Because systemctl status is called by monitoring tool. It's a habit, yes. If monitoring shows the service is down, no point to manually use systemctl, and syslog with ps become best friends. And sometimes date command as well. PIs don't have hardware clocks and wrong date may lead to errors that look mysterious.
Let’s play a language game where we use language in a representative way. Specifically the language can only represent parts of sense-impressions.

Where is consciousness in one of my sense-impressions? Tell me a procedure that will allow me to locate the thing you want to call “consciousness” in one of my sense-impressions.

Maybe OP wants to ask,
“What are sense impressions made of?”. But that’s incoherent in this language game because sense impressions are themselves not objects in sense impressions.
What's the best action a Celcius account holder can do to mitigate risk? I am thinking of taking out a loan with them to at least withdraw out some cash at their expense.
This seems like a bit of a misrepresentative title. It's been well known for a long time that stress during pregnancy (high cortisol levels particularly) has a negative effect on the child's mental health throughout their whole life. Labeling this as epigenetic trauma feels like stretching the definition in a motte and bailey kind of way.

Terrible siding but in the appropriate climates, as long as it isn’t rotted, you can stucco over it. Smaller sections that have failed or rotted can be cut out and patched prior to attaching substrate for the stucco.
Easy: if congress bans all crypto tomorrow, you can trivially check which websites accept crypto, and then send them a letter to not do that.

If they don’t comply, you tell the registrar/host/ISP to shut them down, then they don’t have a website anymore.

The point is that at some point real people, subject to laws and regulations, will have to touch the thing you’re buying. If you’re buying a sandwich, it doesn’t matter the guy making the sandwich accepts crypto if the government can put them in jail for doing so.

That’s exactly how I rigged up building our MSIs at Tailscale.
One does not require true random number generation to perform SGD. And once trained, most neural networks in-use today are completely deterministic. So no.

You are also making a baseless assertion that consciousness requires randomness of any kind, let alone quantum-based true random number generation.
When Google collects data about me, I’m relatively certain what I’d going to happen to that data — it gets folded into a bazillion models and is used to sell me shit. When Samsung collects data about me, I have absolutely no clue what happens next with that data. It’s not necessarily better or worse, but it’s a very different bit of privacy calculus you need to work through.
The real work is facing your own fears. How? A lot of work. Meditation can help but you need a good teacher. Find people who are obsessed with and in the pursuit of “obtaining” enlightenment and I found people who know their inner thoughts and feelings at a deep and intimate level. I found people who want to be happy but ultimately need to find what is “getting in the way” of enlightenment. The irony though is that there is nothing in the way of enlightenment and “it” is already there but that’s a separate topic.

People do and can get to the bottom of what is ultimately is driving them in their own humanity.

You can go in circles trying different spiritual practices. You can have earth shattering changes with plant medicine too. You can do dream work with dream yoga too (google Andrew holecek). The rabbit hole is long and wide.
I would not swear by ayahuascha. All of life is ceremony. It might help in the short term but what you are seeking is an active thing and high effort thing until it becomes effortless. To be curious about your pain, fear and anxiety. Even to see the beauty in them. To have humility. To listen. To surrender it all.

There is no magic pill though. I’ve tried many things. I’m not the same person. You can change. There is a way out but the way out is not what you might think it is. The way out is the way through.
MCM!!! I never actually played it but heard great things about it and MCM 2.

Something very similar is claimed by Dr Mike Israetel. Specifically: after a prolonged period of a calorie deficit spontaneous activity (non-exercise active thermogenesis, NEAT) like walking around decreases, which accounts for a decent chunk of calories. On top of that the accumulated fatigue makes it difficult to train at high enough intensities to maximize muscle sparing. The end result is less weight loss, and less of that being fat.

His recommendation is that fat loss phases are kept at 6-12 weeks with a few weeks of maintenance to dump both physical and psychological fatigue and to resensitize for the next day loss phase.

So "decreased metabolism" is bunk, but as a model[1] it does a decent job of suggesting the correct action to take. Assuming calories are in fact under control: you're definitely right that a lot of people have essentially no idea how much they're eating.

[1][eta: after enough time on a deficit, or just a great enough deficit, calorie expenditure spontaneously decreases without much recourse other than going back to calorie balance for a while]

When I bought in to usb-c I was pretty excited about this, but man to get a dongle to do all of that you listed and working as expected was like a couple hundred dollars, or you roll the dice with the no name brands. Eventually that laptop died and I went back to a macbook that had all the ports I needed on the dongle already built in, and life has been somewhat simpler.
In 2020 businesses were expecting a collapse in demand and possibly years before a working vaccine. The current administration chose to “go big” on stimulus in 2021 and accept the risk of inflation rather than under react like 2008-2009 and have the country slog through years of high unemployment.
You point more generally to the gradual total disappearance of skilled jobs that almost anyone can do with sufficient (substantial) training. These are jobs that are both amenable to automation and most profitable to automate.

In a few decades, we will be left with skilled jobs that only people with certain innate abilities can perform (after substantial training), and menial jobs that anyone can do with very little training.
I think we should coin (ha!) a new term - 'crypto scheme', a mainly speculative scheme based on artificially created digital scarcity created with block chain technology and promoted using narrative against current fiat-based monetary and banking system. It shares similarities with Ponzi scheme in functional sense but enough difference to warrant a new category on its own and doesn't quite fall under the legal definition of 'Ponzi' scheme.
> And since evolution hates inefficiency, that means it must have a purpose.

Evolution doesn't hate or love anything, and everything evolved does not have a purpose. Evolution is a theoretical framework developed by humans to describe some things that happen in the world they observe, not a guiding force or a god.

It's honestly kind of amazing that you appear to have ascribed consciousness to evolution in an argument for the human uniqueness of consciousness.
At $500 you're approaching the price point of low end mirrorless cameras, which will probably have higher quality than a small, old smartphone camera.
Why would you be discouraged by knowing that, under a reasonable assumption, that someone read your comment? Isn't that kind of the whole point of contributing? To have people read your content?

Potatoes are the fourth most important food crop in the world. There are many kinds of food made with potatoes. For example, we often eat shredded potatoes, potato chips, mashed potato chips and other foods. Potatoes have a good sense of satiety after eating, and are the most complete vitamin content of all food crops. Do you know how potatoes are transformed into deep fried frozen fries? What's the secret to McDonald's fries?
I disagree about where the burden of proof lies. If we start off firstly with the assumption that humans have consciousness, and secondly the decently supported claim that animals exhibit what to us appears to be consciousness on a spectrum, and thirdly that we don't exactly know how or why consciousness exists, then the conclusion that seems obvious to me is that we cannot rule out that it could emerge in a network similar to that in human and animal brains. To me the best explanation we have now is that consciousness is an emergent property of a brain. And since a brain is neurons firing, as far as we've been able to determine, then there's no particular reason why certain types of networks can't have the same emergent properties.

Animals doing labour while suffering != animals doing labour while not suffering.

I think you should read again what I wrote and consider if you're being illogical towards what I wrote. The all or nothing thought of yours, isn't a gotcha (if perfectionism isn't obtainable) and it doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge the best universe while striving towards one of the least total suffering possible for us while being able to enjoy life.

It's a stellar book. One of the most astute things I've read.

I also agree with you on finding the right therapist, and also on taking the work seriously. It's like a running coach or a personal trainer: they can point you in the right direction, but they can't work out for you.

And for youniverse, one way I've found it useful to look at therapy and meditation as self-instrumentation. As you've already started to do, you need to pay attention to correlations and unexpected reactions. At first you will notice these things with a fair bit of delay and thought. But with time, you can gradually become aware of the reaction in the moment. Once you've gotten there, you can begin the debugging work. Often that's just giving yourself a different experience in the moment. E.g., you'll feel the anxiety spike, recognize it as trauma-related, and then take a few deep breaths and consciously relax. In the same way your body learned when it wasn't safe, it will gradually re-learn when it is safe.

For me it's also been helpful to build a pretty chill life for myself so that anxiety stands out against the baseline. For me that means things like living in a quiet place, going to bed early enough that I don't need an alarm clock, and strictly limiting intense media and video games. When I was your age my life was pretty intense and anxiety-making not because I had to, but because that was familiar to me. If I was a bit frantic all the time, it was much easier to ignore trauma reactions! [taps temple in I'm-so-smart gesture]
As the old saying goes, if all of us are responsible, none of us are individually responsible/ legally liable, right?

I think the real problem is pretending that the phrase “what it feels like to be something” is going to act like a key in my dict of feelings.

A: You know, the feeling of what it is like to be something.

B: sits quietly, looks at ceiling Right, yeah, that feeling.

From a different angle, if OP wants to define “consciousness” as some feeling it sounds like he’s basically done. He’s labeled one of his feelings with the word “consciousness”. I’m not sure what point of contention remains.

Why would a random generator be important for a neutral network?

Furthermore, not all sources of noise/randomness arise from quantum measurement (the only part of QM which can be interpreted to have randomness at all). Classical chaotic systems are also random if you were unable to measure the initial conditions to cosmic precision.

In fact, it's unclear at the moment how QM can actually give rise to randomness. In principle, in QM a perfectly isolated system of any complexity would behave entirely linearly with no randomness or even any chaos involved.
Great. Even more stuff we can blame on our parents.

At some point, more people should take responsibility for the hand that they are given and run with those cards.

At the best, we now have more ammo as parents to deal with trauma so we don't pass it off to the offspring.
I’d talk to a lawyer. Probably could file an emergency injunction to release your holdings. I assume the large holders are already doing this. They haven’t filed for bankruptcy so it seems something a judge would grant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories_of_co...

"If true, the theory has major implications for efforts to design consciousness into artificial intelligence machines;[30] current microprocessor technology is designed to transmit information linearly along electrical channels, and more general electromagnetic effects are seen as a nuisance and damped out; if this theory is right, however, this is directly counterproductive to creating an artificially conscious computer, which on some versions of the theory would instead have electromagnetic fields that synchronized its outputs—or in the original version of the theory would have spatially patterned electromagnetic fields"
I guess that a unigram language model trained with few words should be considered conscious in some way too.
Real currency swaps or whatevs are complicated enough, funny money swaps feel like they're beyond the people running them.
The argument presented that a hot bar of iron would qualify as conscious if consciousness is computation also concludes that a hot bar of iron qualifies as a computer.

Do you believe that a hot bar of iron is a computer? If your answer is no, then it seems like the argument presented here should be not be at all convincing.
Seems like the perfect case for firecracker esque VzM where it’s run in isolation.
Also, from a system of things that only exists with respect to participants will, we can hack it into a system of things with objective physical existence by presupposing a fictitious all-knowing never-lying arbitrator who will is physical law. In other words, we can invent god as a useful linguistic fiction to rig into being the aspects of my system you've criticized as impossible to construct.

This is crazy-subjective, but my personal experience/philosophy is that mental health is the degree to which we make decisions in our own best interest, incorporating our values, without harming others. So altruism would firmly count towards that if we believe in it.

The scarce commodity, maybe the only one more scarce than time, is the short-term-finite capacity to do difficult things. Discipline/willpower/etc. is (unlike time) renewable, but grow a new forest renewable, not write on the other side of the paper renewable.

Big picture it’s time that has to be budgeted. But in the small: improving our lives, being better custodians of our resources, relationships, and reputation, is hard work. You have to find the high leverage stuff.

As an example, I’m just way more effective if I keep my place tip-top. If I let it get to be a mess, it’s friction on getting out of bed. So I try to tidy up and wash dishes even after a long workday. But if I work too long, not happening. I have to actively budget it.

That’s just an anecdote/example, but we all have the stuff we know we ought to be doing and aren’t: bin-packing the highest leverage stuff before saying “fuck it I’m ordering a pizza and a six pack” is the unglamorous work of striving for a better life.

Its the cause-and-effect here that's important.

Three Arrow Capital lost hundreds-of-millions of UST during the Lunacoin / UST implosion a month ago. The fallout of that is still being felt. Celsius was related to Three Arrow Capital somehow. Etc. etc.

Honestly, I'm not yet sure how or why BTC is moving with them. But I don't think BTC is the source of this turbulence. I think a whole lot of shitcoins (Luna/UST in particular) was the first peg to fall. There's a direct link of Luna/UST to Three Arrow Capital, and a link from 3AC to Celsius.

The link then extends to stETH, which extends to ETH, which is then correlated to BTC.

This feels really good.

If I may suggest a feature, It'd be great to have probability estimations of each of the node, and then the leaf nodes (last node in a stream of dependencies) would have its probability computed as the multiplication of all parents.

This would make it obvious when something is not gonna happen :)

And it would make it easy to detect which part of the chain with a low probability kills the entire chain :)

We’re in total agreement, I’m just measuring my words by habit.
Yes that's a fair call. I don't really have an opinion in the matter as I am not interested in using this tool, but your question is a fair one.
From my experience, generally programmers in Russia are less conservative and more pro-West than the general population (especially those working for Western companies), I don't see anything ethical about firing them. In their statement, Intel said "We are working to support all of our employees through this difficult situation, including our 1,200 employees in Russia" because they understand those people have nothing to do with Putin. From what I gathered, most companies stop operations because, first, paying salary and selling has become difficult due to sanctions, and, second, it's bad PR for them if they keep working in Russia when everyone else left. So it doesn't look to me that it's about ethics, just a business decision.

> That I am having a subjective experience is undeniable.

If you wanted to go about proving (even to yourself) that you are not, say, an extremely advanced ML algorithm running on a system that provided synthetic inputs in the form of your senses, how would you go about it?

Further, how would you go about proving to someone who doubted your subjective experience was real if they doubted it? Say, if they believed they were having a dream or hallucination, or they believed you were incapable of consciousness? (people actually sometimes have to do those things)

To me, if it were "undeniable" these would be much easier things to do.
Similarly, we also have a hard time defining intelligence. I often ask people how they would define intelligence, and I get wildly different answers. The common understanding of these words is very fuzzy.
