Most people do not wire money, they transfer money through some other mechanism that has fraud protection.

For example, if you buy something on eBay and the seller sends you a brick packed in a cardboard box instead, you dispute the charge on PayPal and most likely get your money back. Or suppose that some pissed off hotel clerk decides to charge your credit card for made-up damages during your stay in a hotel.

My experience is that it’s not hard to get your money back. This is why actual scams tend to involve some step where you convert money into something else—since a wire transfer or ACH transfer can be reversed or at least traced, you have scams where the patsy has to turn transfers into cash or gift cards.
Thanks, I'll have a look. But yeah I'll need a newer cam for sure.

The problem is that most of my lenses are 'screwdriver' models so if I upgrade I need to take one of the higher end models which can still drive this. This feature was removed on all the lower end ones over time.

I received the Pinephone Keyboard a little more than a week ago. Ordered it because I thought it would revive my motivation to use the Pinephone, because it would turn it into a cool mini linux laptop.

However, since receiving it, I wasn't able to get it working. According to the community the pins don't always make a connection to the phone and you have to shim it, while risking to break something. The keyboard charges the phone and all the required drivers are installed, but typing just wont work.

Overall I still really like the idea of the Pinephone. But since receiving it in 2020 and recently receiving the keyboard I had to spend 90% of the time using it for debugging, fixing, reinstalling OS after breaking upgrades etc. and am now at a point where I just don't care about this device anymore. Because during the 10% when I can actually use it, it is just way to slow.

I of course knew what I was getting into and know that it's still in a dev phase.

My favourite OS to use is DanctNIX with SXMO, btw.
This is from necroware, one of the most competent retrocomputing channels on YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCKU5nwSWYXa3xfXGBlKyvdw

In one of his videos he designed and installed a voltage regulator module to upgrade a socket 7 motherboard and let it support faster CPUs [1]... plus countless excellent repairs in his other videos. Absolutely a gem.

I’m busy doing EMDR therapy. Can’t recommend it enough.
As a side comment however, Roger Penrose has this argument about some kind of quantum effects from microtubules in cells
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose#Consciousness
(but to go as far as to say that this might be the reason in the end why consciousness is not a computation is still a whole debate however, and his theory is far from making a consensus I am afraid)

Thanks. That's crazy. I was already out of the country for 2 years before the period they are claiming that I owed taxes (and I was even paying taxes while I was gone)!

I guess this is going to be a fun battle, sigh.

A counterargument might be that consciousness is an inherent side effect of all the stuff that goes on in the brain. And while yes, the brain does some computation, that is by no means a complete description of all the brain does and is. So computation of any sort will not necessarily produce the side effect if you just do enough of it. Rather it's a side effect of the way the brain works, which is not the way a barrel full of pocket calculators, or a Macbook, or a bunch of rocks in the sand works.
Judging by his correspondence and his novels, I'd guess his singing would have made even the Sex Pistols blush.

One thing I wonder about is can the popular apps be made legally in an open source way, do you have to get the companies to make a Linux app for PP/PPP. This is with regard to get mass adoption.
I didn't claim they are. But they can. And without transparency, I have very little inclination to trust. I find it plausible that they'd scan for keywords and phone home when they get hits -- advertising businesses are not known for their scruples and fb has not distinguished itself in that regard. Once that machinery is in place, it's ripe for abuse. I don't claim any proof it's happening, but it would be naive to blindly trust that it isn't.
With a lot of marketing flow builders I’ve noticed that some if the older software has workflows that go right to left, whereas newer tools go from top to bottom.

I’m not sure if anyone’s testing the UX of these or whether designers are just following convention from other tools, however.
On one hand you don’t have to be algorithm-smart to handle many real world challenges, since software engineering nowadays is mostly business, architecture, product, not math.

On the other - you can and should learn some fundamental CS ideas and algorithms until it’s in your fingers, otherwise you’ll find yourself often missing crucial details and making not optimal decisions in your work.

You don’t have to be a genious to learn most of it. It’s a matter of time, practice and perseverance usually. Not many people i know who get these things quickly and naturally.
Internal reference system that wasn't wrapped up in the emotion of trauma? When I read that, it sounds like someone who became further desensitized to what happened.

I'm sure you're more functional now, but know that being more functional doesn't equate to actually having healed anything. It can just mean the person learned to cope better.

In fact, the initial stages of healing from childhood trauma are expected to be less functional, less productive, and yes, more depressive, because for the first time in the person's life, they're feeling, in a compassionate way, what they've been pushing down all their lives, because they had no one safe to go to, and often there's a lot to unpack. It definitely is tiring and often just exhausting.
But it's the only way. Because without feeling you can't heal.

Also, childhood trauma doesn't create "pathologies" it creates coping mechanisms which any healthy person would develop in the same circumstances, which need to be understood, and which will subside on their own without the need for behavioral approaches (aka symptom fixing) like CBT.

We are all humans, so we can't keep saying "what works for me may not work for others", at the core we do have many things in common, we all have feelings, we all have similar needs. And we all get traumatized in similar ways. So while there might be some differences, at the end of the day, some things will work for everyone, and those things are the ones that relate to the things we ALL have in common.

The reason it became so ingrained in psychology the mentality of "what works for you may not work for others" is because we've been in the equivalent of the middle ages of psychology for trauma treatment.

I don't understand what's going on. Can anyone explain, for those of us who are not familiar with Solana/Solend?
I believe the argument is that you can create a more-complex mapping over a course of time, say 1 second. For that 1 second, the mapping shows that the iron bar is conscious. Regardless of what happens after that 1 second, shouldn't the iron bar be considered conscious for that 1 second? If 1 second is not long enough a time to be considered conscious, how long do you need?

If you look into the world of visual effects software, there's a lot of node graphs and it quickly becomes apparent where they fall into place.

Horizontal is for data flow based graphs where nodes pass specific data blocks to each other. This is the norm in shader editors, Maya's node graph, blender geometry nodes, Unity shader graph, Unreal blueprints etc...

Vertical is for pass the world or step based graphs. Each node represents a step, and nodes mutate a combined state that gets passed down. Nuke, Houdini and Katana are like this

the vertical graph has a lot of familiarity with people because it's like a Todo list of steps.

Horizontal graphs are better for data flow because they can have tons of labels that run vertically and get connected to each other.

In some cases you even have hybrid graphs. Where data processing runs horizontally that feed into steps which run vertically. You'll see this in Pixar's Presto, and Unity's Visual Effects graph.
This is how Neo4j clustering works, FWIW. Client gets a “bookmark” - basically an index into the RAFT log - and can opt to include that when querying secondaries, who will block.

I imagine variations of this are quite common, vector clocks as distributed barriers.
"The theory that consciousness is nothing but running the right kind of computer program is wrong. Computation alone is insufficient to produce consciousness."

This is your opinion. Not fact.

"So if we accept that qualia exists (which, after all, seems intuitively sensible), we are burdened with the apparently impossible task of explaining how consciousness can be generated by physical processes. This is the crux of the “hard problem of consciousness.”"

No reason we can't explain qualia with some component or aspect of the brain matter - perhaps just the neocortex doing work on itself. It is not really known at this point but no reason to think it cannot be known. The brain is extremely complex.

"Consciousness is observer independent"

Well yes you have a brain and it doesn't require other people's brains to function.

" If we decide that a machine is not a computer simply because it ever makes any errors, we will have to conclude that there are no computers at all in the real world. And if computers don’t exist, then consciousness cannot be computation."

This is straight up doodoo.

We made a bot with like a few dozen neurons simulating a human brain play some games far better than any humans ever will be able to. What makes you think an entire brain of these neurons is not capable of something as uncomplicated by comparison as your so-called "qualia".

At the core of this argument is like 'hey i don't want to believe that a simulation could produce the same thing I experience personally, so let me add an essays worth of sophistry to convince you to feel the same way' it's like religious or something. It is inherently unscientific.
Let’s keep it going - This thread is close to solving whether success is due entirely to luck or entirely to hard work!
Proving a negative is not always possible, but the irreducible randomness in quantum measurement or "wave function collapse" is essentially defined as uncomputable.

You can of course simulate quantum randomness using an RNG or some such but the essential inherent unpredictability can't be simulated like that.

To be clear, I'm not trying to argue that quantum randomness is a component of consciousness!

Regards consciousness and computation, though, it's always seemed suspicious to me that we can't reliably specify 'qualia' like "what it's like to feel wet" or "what it's like to hear a trumpet" except either in terms of a physical description (e.g. the waveform of the trumpet note) that misses out the experiential component or in terms of "samples" - i.e. references to other 'qualia': "sounds like a french horn but less round" or whatever.

I'd have thought being able to adequately specify something was a necessary step in reducing it to computation. We've been using language for thousands of years though, and as far as I'm aware precisely specifying experiences in this way is still an unsolved problem.
In this case the problem with GDPR is not how it's written but how it's enforced (or rather, how little it's enforced). Most of the cookie popups that appear while browsing are already blatant violations of the law, but the violators get away with them because the relevant authorities are overwhelmed/underfunded/dysfunctional.

>If they asked anyone with atleast a minimal technical knowledge, they'd get a lot better solutions.

This sentence implies that: (1) Nobody with even minimal technical knowledge was consulted when writing GDPR. (2) The problem of websites tracking their users can be solved through technical means. (3) One or more of the solutions are so trivial anyone with minimal technical knowledge could come up with them.

I disagree with all of the above assertions.
It’s lower width (and height) because the screen is smaller. Remember that in CSS, px is not a physical screen pixel. It’s actually defined in the spec as an angular size[1]. In practice users might adjust their display preferences to suit their eyes. I would not recommend trying to compensate for physical display size, and instead let the user and the browser handle that.

Resolution can be targeted with other media queries, which should be useful for other high-resolution devices. And separate from this you should target touchscreens with a `pointer: coarse` query.

This is exactly why you should not think in terms of mobile, tablet, desktop, but instead in terms of features of the output media.

Your choice for the word "blame" is telling? Blame would not be the word I'd use in this case. It's understanding. Understanding that people have traumas. Traumas percolate through the generations.

Without elaborating too much - both in my wife's and my family their traumas are for a large part World War II related. Active fighting, hunger, uncertainty, refugeeship, absence - it's all reflected in our (grand-)parents generation and thus in our genes and upbringing. We have our own traumas that I'm unable to reflect on yet. That's why I feel an extra sadness when watching Ukrainian children. Traumas live on for ages.

Thing that comes to mind: We have local cultures celebrating battles with Spain 400+ years ago. Humans are a hardy bunch. I don't think it's biological after many generations, but culture is an important part of humanity.
Samsung's approach to security is writing a memory mapper for the camera app which can map any memory region to userspace and is by default world accessible. I'm not expecting anything.
The iron bar argument is terrible for exactly the reason you say. The atoms in the iron bar would have to evolve following the rules of a Turing machine and they won't. So you'd have to define a mapping which varies over time. There's nothing stopping us doing that but I can do the same with a pumpkin and my brain. Therefore I'm not conscious. Sad!
cycle.travel is the best, thanks (also here :) ) for making it!
My FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[0], completely separates content from presentation. There are a handful of ConTeXt-based "themes"[1] that act as starting points for understanding the magic incantations of mapping XHTML into TeX. The XHTML is produced by converting Markdown documents. Producing a PDF file from TeX rarely messes up when exporting and the output is pleasing.[3] Mind you, TeX isn't all that user-friendly, so having the power/correctness of TeX with the "simplicity" of GUI-based word processors would be amazing.

Ukraine using starlink begs to differ
I have a Pine64 board from an ancient Kickstarter. Some parts of it like video decoding have never worked. There was at one point something vaguely in the shape of a driver that was supposed to support it appeared in an undocumented zip file but I never managed to get it to work. Requests for specs so the community could write their own driver fell on deaf ears. I decided never to buy another Pine product again, and I have not regretted that decision.
To be fair, float point equality is often a red flag and often deserves a double-take (even if the result is, yes, it's correct).

A comment like "exact equality is deliberate here and valid because XYX and important for meeting performance requirements ABC" would help, unless it's a major part of the system, in which case the colleague should know that already.

And on their part, a check in with you for "hey, I don't understand why this equality is valid" would be better than assuming it's wrong and changing it.
I have read the whole thing. My point is I’m taking the narrow conclusion and not the broader conclusion, if I have to spell it out to you.

Please continue not responding to the rest of my points.
+1 We need the Singularity to make sense of the mess known as PDF.

But realistically, might this bring on the SkyNet attack if we abuse AI so?
Computation does not have anything essential to it that makes it different from other "atoms jumping around" other than it produces outputs that we find interesting.

There's no reason to expect an adder circuit to be aware that it's adding numbers. There's no reason to expect an implementation of AlphaGo to know that it's playing Go. This should be extendable without limitation.

There's no reason to expect that a certain type of circuit produces consciousness unless of you have a model of consciousness that allows for certain properties to cause it. But there's no such model.

The only thing there is is our brains. You just think that since the brain is doing computations and the brain is conscious, therefore consciousness is a computation.
Replacing it.

Kind of a weird question though. Just because I question the efficacy of an approach doesn't mean I have a better one. Maybe the wood simply can't be fixed in place.
Almost all of that is referring to 2020 and no longer the case.

> if SNI is not needed, than the ip address is neccesarily unique

I think your are confused about what SNI does. SNI is not part of the request, and it does not indicate to the server which website is being requested (this is the HTTP Host header, still in use as a pseudo-header in HTTP/2 and HTTP/3).

SNI is part of the response from the server back to the client. The idea is that if an attacker somehow poisoned your DNS to point the domain of one legitimate site (for example, paypal.com) to another (let's say pastebin.org) - your browser would notice the mismatch and refuse to load the page or send any potentially sensitive data to the server.

Furthermore - there is no need for it to be sent in the clear. Cloudflare in particular has thrown their weight behind a proposal/protocol extension called ESNI (Encrypted SNI), in an effort that truly turned around my opinion of the company.
Bertrand Russell made this point about Descartes’ “cogito ergo sum”, stating it would more correctly be something like “there are thoughts”.
It seems to me that when you have the ability to decide what is shown and how it is shown or framed, it is pretty easy from there to get people to fall into their respective positions and have them propagate and reinforce the narrative themselves. Like how social media relies on user generated content, I wouldn't be surprised if modern propaganda efforts are so successful because they get those that are propagandized to reinforce the narrative and its framing, like people making their own thought prisons. Even opposition nowadays is content in working within the established framework of narratives instead of questioning its validity.
> Now, if consciousness were a consequence of pure computation, it would be possible to write a clever computer program (let’s call it consciousness.exe) that, when executed on a big enough computer, produces a conscious being.

This is pretty much the premise of the treatise by the great Australian philosopher Greg Egan, called "Permutation city". It really blew my mind back in the 90's when i first read it. Actually I think I read the short story "Dust" first. High a.f. after reading that.

> But perhaps new biology is not enough. Roger Penrose has argued that an explanation of consciousness does not simply require new biology, but new physics as well. I have to confess that as far-fetched an idea as it is, I am somewhat partial to the idea.

Cool. Me too.

Elon recently in an interview with Tim Dodd, said: "At SpaceX, we make the impossible late". In hindsight, nothing is impossible but before SpaceX did any of the routine things they do now, everyone said it was impossible: private company getting to orbit; landing rockets back on earth (let alone on a floating ship in the middle of the ocean); etc.

So if history is any lesson, when SpaceX makes a claim, one has to pay real good attention to details and question all their own assumptions hard because these guys have made impossible possible time and again.
