Launch agents and daemons didn't even show up there. It was more for the user themselves to register programs they wanted to auto open.

However that feature became a bit stale since macOS started reopening all apps anyway.

I know that problem for a thankfully long gone Java internal application, and well... I went with running old stuff in `debian/eol` Docker containers [1]. Turns out you actually can use Docker as a sort of extremely lightweight VM service.

Your work is spectacular. In particular that first link is striking. Unfortunately your series loses me with how it introduces the build system first rather than tools. That is not a trivial shell script or toolchain for me, and certainly is too much for someone looking for a Word replacement. Looking at further pages, it becomes less Markdown and more a home-grown formatting system that has Markdown as a subset.

That said, ConTeXt looks great for my purposes! So much more is done out-of-the-box, the documentation is well-laid out, and I can see looking at its main pages how I could set up formatting for a style guide myself, unlike LaTeX. Thank you.
Not only can't you do standards-conformant closed addressing hash map implementations of std::unordered_map I don't think you can do cuckoo- or robin-hood-hashing either. It's just so restrictive.

Unordered maps are also annoying for a completely different reason: You generally want your program to run in a reproducible way and unordered maps will undermine that goal again and again in subtle ways you will discover too late. std::map doesn't scratch that itch because you have to provide an ordering function when 99% of the time insertion ordering would be just fine. I wrote about this at https://blog.toit.io/hash-maps-that-dont-hate-you-1a96150b49...
I think it’s important to note that the article isn’t saying that if you build a brain-like thing, it can’t be conscious. It’s arguing that if you simulate a brain-like thing purely in software it can’t be conscious. I’m not saying one argument has more merit than the other (not that anyone is going to be able to prove anything is conscious either way).

Really?

[Edit: it’s a very big claim to make, and intuitively I want to say it’s unlikely, but maybe it depends on what you think qualifies as a “social network?”]
Orkut had an excellent user interface: public scrap books where you could leave messages for each other that anyone can see, no word limits, no voting, no infinite scroll, no AI systems trying to "maximize engagement", etc.

Modern social networks, save hacker news, looks over-engineered.

It is difficult to find the right balance between over and under engineering, however Orkut could have used a couple of features: strict moderation and threaded conversations, but that was it.

Can you elaborate on this? Society has inertia, history has inertia, how is this "nobody mantains status quo" work?
It is but there needs to be a way for the user to keep full control of the system they own of they choose to have it.

And enterprises already have a way to turn this override off so I don't really understand their beef here.

The Poles I'm refering to were killed in Germany and the stones commemorating them exist. My comment is saying that the article is not mentioning them.

There are stones like this in Poland commemorating Jews, e.g. former German city of Breslau, nowadays Wrocław. I believe the resistance came from the fact that Poles were not organizers of those killings/deportations and it was expected to be misunderstood by people unfamiliar with history (e.g. stone commemorating murdered Jews in a city that was formerly German but nowadays Polish, or Jews murdered in Poland by Germans).

Important to mention: there were killings (not supported by the state) of Jews and systemic antisemitism (clearly supported by the state) in Poland conducted and organized by Polish people before and during the war (this was, though, not supported by the state at that time), but incomparable in scale.

So now there are two artificial intelligences...
Consciousness can be infinitely explored and described, but it can't really be defined through naturalistic science. A definition is created from the end of something. We can identify the length, breadth, horsepower and coolant capacity of a car, because all those things end somewhere. We can't consciously perceive an end to consciousness, as we'd be dead and the people who have lost consciousness are "dead" or "asleep". A definition is a tool for consciousness to use, not something it is subject to. Yet we all know what the word means and what we're talking about when it's discussed.

We can map out consciousness and explore it's internal productions. We can think about how we think about consciousness and examine scientific damage to consciousness-related structures like the brain. We could ultimately know what it Means to be conscious, given enough time, defined or not.

>Why? Starting with this assumption and searching for reasons it might be true is clear motivated reasoning.

The idea that you can get consciousness from natural materialism has been disproven many times. You can't get "ought from is" from materialism or define consciousness from nature or technology. So what is "clear" about it?

The metaphor of the most advanced technology of the time as the mechanism of the brain/mind/consciousness has been done to death. People used to posit that we were automatons with pistons inside our skull. So what is the "motivated reasoning"?

The idea that human consciousness IS the technology of the day, is a basic metaphorical tool with no correlates to material reality. People used to suppose we were automatons with pistons inside our skull.

It encourages people to think only like programmers, or mechanics, or engineers and cuts them off from asking any real questions. What they believe about a topic, or what it means. Which ultimately leaves them open to following the opinionated dictates of whoever is guiding the discussion. Even for the smartest physicists, engineers and technologists; the hunches, the ideas, the gambles they put their career on, are theologically and philosophically informed. People believe their career choices, their pet physical theory is right, their programming language is right, which is not based on a naturally formed consciousness.

It is better to talk about this than not, and the disengagement with philosophy leads people to parroting the same millennia-old ideas some dead philosopher figured out and now people are repeating blindly and getting the same predictable results without knowing so. If a philosopher only needed to be insightful, he would have half the job. It's dangerous to go without.

It's not a balance. There must be a way to override it.

I really don't want Apple to decide what I can have on my computer like they do with iOS. It'll be more secure but also a lot less free and functional.
So, I'm not sure I get the "embarrassingly simple" part.

As in here is a file some_txt.txt, how do I convert it to a .wav ?

As in: what do I type in my shell to convert some_txt.txt to some_txt.wav

That would be something that would deserve the moniker "embarrassingly simple" in my book.
I agree, it was a double negative.
It’s a pity we are not at a level where open(-like) phones are a thing. I have been looking from time to time for one that pretty much works out of the box, but all the stories are not painting a pretty picture.

What’s the showstopper into bringing an open phone to a general audience? (Aka open box, turn on, type in credentials and done.)

In the meantime I hope my ancient iPhone keeps working.
@antognini, have you seen this computation argument elsewhere? I came up with basically the same thing when I used to think about consciousness but this is the first time I've read about it from a 3rd party. I also believe that it's very plausible that quantum mechanics plays a role, despite the hate this idea is getting.

Some other realizations I made:

First, physiscs-first understanding of reality is incorrect - consciousness is in a way the only thing that is real and physics is just a description of the patterns we perceive through our consciousness.

Second, my consciousness and other people's consciousness are fundamentally different concepts and need to be defined differently.

Third, the physical brain affects consciousness, obviously, and there's an argument for this happening the other way too, which would mean that laws of physics are broken in the brain. The argument is that if this wasn't true, my brain wouldn't have realized all this.
As stated somewhere else, at the end the video will go through very lossful compression and often be scaled down when used at work. I mean I'm now at my 4th webcam since the pandemic started because the other cams were: too dark, constantly zooming in and out for no reason (MS Cinema Lifecam), poor image. I now sticked with the Logitech C920 because I can manually set brightness/contrast/activate autofocus.

I think that understates how bad the current state of webcams really is. Esp. when you move around a lot while talking/there's an unusual light situation. IMHO first these core problems need to be solved (and then of course it'd be great be build upon that)
Considering it's 2022, it clearly shows that the sentiment has been against it.
I didn't know of them until after I had moved to Hamburg, where there are quite a few. My SO showed them to me and told me the background.

I was flabbergasted. Being very interested in history, having studied history at university and never before having heard of them was quite frankly disconcerting for me back then.

Since I nearly always stumble (as intended) as it is a visual pattern I now instantly recognize.

Therapy may be an answer for some people, in certain occasions. I did years of therapy with five different therpist: single, group, meditating, CBT and so on and on...

To me it was extremely easy to see what the therapist wanted me to say and say it.

Sometimes I had the impression that I had to protect the therapist from the reality that some people have really, really, really shitty lives behind thei control and their thinking is not a cognitive distortion: it's the rational response to a disastrous situation.
I'm not saying that it's too hard at all (even though servers like BIND could probably use some UX improvements), just that not everyone would approve of you running your own server for any given project. And sometimes adding/changing records on the org-wide server must be "thrown over the wall", which will be slow.

Furthermore, if you have 5 different projects that you need to work on and each of those would have their own separate DNS servers, you might find yourself in a slightly uncomfortable situation.

Most container orchestration solutions don't have that problem, because they embed their own server and provide the necessary proxying solutions so that you may connect to the cluster from outside as well.
>beyond a certain level of complexity you'll somehow automatically get consciousness

Right, that's the argument, but I don't believe this at all. Consciousness is a computation therefore all computations are conscious. That doesn't follow. In any other philosophical or scientific discourse that sort of naive conceptual inversion would be laughed out of the room. Horses are animals therefore animals are all horses. It's absurd.

Personally I think consciousness arises out of reflection on an internal model of one's own thought processes and behaviour. See Douglas Hofstadter's "I am a strange loop". I see no reason why a system like that wouldn't be tractable to computation.
You're not alone. I hated the butterfly keyboard, it was like tapping on stone.

Given HN doesnt actually notify you of upvotes, I don't think "upvote as acknowledgment" works that much anyway.

Having said that, it's true that I have a lower threshold to upvoting an insightful comment when it's a direct reply vs the general thread.

And similarly, a rude comment is left intentionally ignored; I'll admit I get a bit of satisfaction in the thought that they'll never know if they were talking by themselves or I simply didn't dignify them with a response :p
+1 for arrows. Since the edges are directed I like the option (maybe default?) to render the edges as arrows. The flows just reads better in that way.

It is a very nice tool with a lot of potential. At the moment I use tools like https://dreampuf.github.io/GraphvizOnline, knotend just adds the missing gui for editing with drag/drop and easy keyboard interaction. With arrow rendering as option and some basic way of styling (changing the background color is good enough for me, to distinguish different types of nodes) this can become my default tool for documenting flows.

The dot file import and svg/dot file/mermaid export as very useful for creating flows, including the svg/mermaid in documentation files and using the dot file for archiving / future changes.
I agree. Flying cars (and to some extent supersonic flying) are always hitting barrier called noise. Concorde had limited deployment thanks to noise limitations - was allowed to go supersonic only above oceans, but not enough range to cross Pacific.

Flying cars are running against noise barrier head-on and every proponent of flying cars will be surprised that people really does not like scream of 8 vacuum cleaners at 2am.
It's not going to work by sanctioning the person that made the invitation. I want the tone of moderating actions to not be exceedingly adversarial.

My assumption for making the decision in allowing inviters to moderate their invitees is that theoretically they have a closer report to them outside of the website, and as such the moderating activity will happen out of band (ie, a face to face discussion, a private message, etc) and if that fails, they have the latitude of operating the moderation actions, like removing the offending post.
Nobody should write programs like that. That would not pass code review in a serious LabVIEW team.

> Yeah to be fair, LabVIEW is the absolute worst graphical programming system.

That's a strong statement. I am unaware of any visual programming environment as powerful as LabVIEW. Nothing is close. LabVIEW has several features over text-base languages as well.

However, I am a strong critic of LabVIEW, but not for the reasons you list. The UX could definitely be improved, and this is something I'm looking into.

NI did embark on the LabVIEW NXG (next-generation) project but boggled it. It is tough. LabVIEW is thirty something years old. The only remaining product from the NXG endeavor is the LabVIEW NXG Web Module. There were some improvements but there could have been more. It failed due to mismanagement.
This looks really neat.

In a broad sense, sure.
As the GP said there are several stones commemorating polish victims in Berlin and other places.

In this case the stones mark the places where the victims lived.

I assume most Polish victims did not live in the territory of present day Germany.

From personal experience I recall some with "eastern" names in a town that used to have a notable polish minority but I couldn't say for sure.

Btw Can you recommend places to visit to learn more about their stories and history (besides the former sites of the concentration camps)?
Checkout Greg Egan, "Permutation city". He basically takes this idea and runs with it, to great effect. I'm not sure if it's a reductio ad absurdum, or what, but it's very cool.

Exactly, replace the 'room' with a volume the size of a large planet. Have each symbol represent an atom in a brain. If you like, replace the person manipulating the symbols with a vast army manipulating the symbols according to the laws of physics and chemistry. The Chinese room argument simply reduces to an argument against materialism.
Possibly the general audience isn't interested in the benefits of an open phone. I remember a HN comment where a phone manufacturer said making relationships with suppliers was almost impossible without a decent sized market segment.
I use an Xbox aswell, since my TV has an open security hole that the manufacturer refuses to patch, and because it sends unspecified data and fetches updates over an unencrypted connection.

Mind you, the Xbox does just as much snooping, but at least the Xbox fetches updates over encrypted channels and doesn't let anyone on the same network have root access to the TV's linux installation.
>"wave function collapse" is essentially defined as uncomputable.

Maybe uncomputable using a macbook pro or classical computer, yes (I accept this for the sake of argument)... But that doesn't make it "not a computation" fundamentally.

In other words, it's not super clear and obvious that quantum mechanics is not fundamentally computational. We are trying to build quantum computers which take advantage of some interesting quantum effects, after all. I suspect that if/when we get those quantum computers to do useful things, we will still describe what they are doing as "performing computations", even if Bell's theorem rules out hidden variables with the locality assumption.

> inherent unpredictability

Note also that the presence of randomness does not necessarily preclude something from being computational in nature.
Call me cynical, but I read

Sorry, but if you're launching yet another social network, you're gonna have to do better than 'people are mean.'
Poles living in Germany are usually working migrants, not a minority that has lived there since centuries (like Germans in Poland). It's hard to compare those situations.
Could you jot down a few lines explaining how?
Confused! What is the Orkut history for those not in the know? Why isn't the social network there on that page, rather than an opt-in landing page for some future thing?
One of the reasons their buttons suck is: effectively running the microswiches out of spec. D2f-01f requires min 5V with micro loads[0]. There would be a tiny spark during switching and over time that would prevent a perfect contact, the higher voltage helps penetrate through. Omron has factories in different countries, e.g. Japan and China - with the China switches "known to be not as good as the original ones". Of course the mice feature the China versions too.

In other words - your best bet is still replacing the switches to ensure longer life... I wonder if Logitech would ever consider stepping the voltage via capacitor charge pump to prevent double clicks.

The OS is just not ready at all, many apps are missing. Many things dont work or simply suck like the camera, and also the hardware is very slow and very out of date compared to maistream.
I think in general Open hardware is a very distant thing, and not very well invested in, as manufactures don't see any positives for them in it.

The best daily driveable "open"(as in OS and Kernel) and privacy focused experience would be with a Google Pixel and CalyxOS / GrapheneOS.

be aware, you might face issues with SafetyNet, other than that its perfect.
Haha yes it’s clearly a GTO position by one of Solana’s supporters.
Can you elaborate further? I am not familiar with the field, but their benchmarks here seem to show quality similar to Google: https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models/wiki/Quality-Bench...

The only trick I can see being played is that Google was benchmarked on September 2020, so likely has already improved and they don't want to show that. Is CommonVoice a better standard to use when comparing these tools?
Yes, the invitation model is borrowed from lobste.rs but penalizing the chain of people which resulted in a specific user joining the instance will never happen. The main reason being that it would be very difficult to model this behaviour using the ActivityPub vocabulary that the website is built on top of.
> Seems like a journalist is conscious if they do it, but it can’t possible be consciousness if LaMDA does it.

That the output is the same proves nothing. The journalist has a subjective experience of themselves doing it, they "see" their thoughts. Like an AI can paint with red by using values without the experience of seeing the red.
Half of which is their petroleum exports. There is another half. Sorry to be such a stickler, but Samsung is enabling Putin. They wouldn’t do the same for Kim Jong-un. It’s insulting they’re helping Putin.
Plus, LaTeX is very compatible with using Git for version control, even more so if you can come up with some way (an intermediary script, a git extension, or pure discipline) to ensure that Git sees every sentence as a different line.
