"...The trick is that they're not promoting an ideology/cultural value domestically; they're bowing to local influence everywhere, including domestically."

I think that this is the main issue. It is my opinion that this problem stems from the business and finance minded dogma of pushing efficiency, regardless of the long-term damage done to a brand/product/service, simply because in the short term it is _cheaper_ to do so. The long term damage is traded for short term gains.... kicking the bucket down the road if you will but doing long term damage to the business or institution overall.

In this particular context, lets take the example of Disney cutting/splicing/editing certain scenes from their films and shows in order to gain release approval in China. Instead of having one film product with a certain edit in the US, then another for China, then another for India, and so on, it is just _cheaper_ to have a single version edit of the film to release "everywhere". So in order to do this Disney has to appease a variety of censors and overview boards and make all changes in order to make a single film product where every governmental review board is happy. The pros is that you have a single version of the film thus making overall production costs cheaper. However the main con is that you may have specific ideological influence added to the product where it should or shouldn't be, or the tone or message of the film product might fundamentally change which breaks the premise/lesson, or the story is watered down essentially making the product meaningless, or the entertainment product might not be entertaining! The only real benefit in this case is that Disney still gets to release the film in as many markets as possible (thus meeting the rule of numbers for possible profit) but the customer starts to feel less connected to the brand so they start to lose interest and eventually abandon it. There are better examples of course. This is just one.

Indole-3-Propionic Acid (IPA) is one of the strongest antioxidants in the body and is a critical marker of a healthy gut microbiome. IPA plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy gut.

It [1] strengthens the tight cellular junctions of the intestinal wall and [2] acts as a potent neuroprotective agent that inhibits beta-amyloid fibril formation, important for brain health. The bacteria Clostridium Sporogenes produce IPA from the amino acid tryptophan.

[1] can help with sensitivities to dairy, gluten, eggs, and soy, and feeling unwell after most meals, related to food particles “leaking” through the intestinal cell wall and triggering an immune response. IPA helps prevent that leakage.

IPA production depends on the health of the gut microbiome. Including fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt, miso, fermented pickles, and fermented bean curd several times per week may benefit the gut microbiome and increase IPA production.

Adequate fiber in the diet is also important for maintaining a healthy gut. Examples of fiber-rich foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and sprouted beans and legumes. Refer to the fiber recommendation in the client’s report for a full list of fiber-rich foods. The fiber in these items is a food source for specific bacteria in your gut, and it assists in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).

As bacteria in the gut ferment dietary fiber, short-chain fatty acids are produced. Short-chain fatty acids, like butyrate, are important for a variety of health processes including immune function, digestive health, and weight maintenance.

To support IPA levels, Ixcela recommends consuming sprouted seeds (e.g., chickpeas, mung beans, and black beans) at least 3 times per week. Sprouts can often be found in the produce section of the grocery store.

Avoiding foods that are detrimental to the gut is important for maintaining optimal IPA levels. Foods to avoid include refined carbohydrates, simple sugars, and omega-6 oils (vegetable or nut oils).

Here's a quote:

> The story of Substack, the company, is interesting and, of course, meaningful to its investors. But the shift in power toward individual writers and direct payments has broader implications. And my informal survey of Substack writers found that most are fond of the company and plan to stick around for now — but not out of the sense of loyalty, shared mission or deep identification that used to run through media companies.

`git reset` is analogous to filesystem restore from backup.

Note that the analogy to filesystems is not exact. The point is that you can understand higher-level operations in terms of lower level ones / gain insight into higher level operations from knowledge of the lower level concepts. As opposed to the cognitive burden of incomprehensible magic, where every time you get in trouble you've no idea what to do.

Toolchains Adventures - Q2 2022
Remember back in the day when we used to use the word "algorithm", instead of "AI"?
The Turing test was never about sentience. It is as wikipedia puts it a "test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human"

I think Turing would have sensibly recognised that sentience is a bit vaguely defined.
I think it's a spectrum. When adjusting to local culture in a more colloquial manner, e.g., like what McDonald's and KFC do with their food in places like China, I think that is fine. However, when it comes to supporting and enabling ideology and policies that directly conflict with the values of the country that company is headquartered in and actually most of the developed world, then I think it's a national security issue. Because then, customers in the host country and the company itself are directly funding the conflicting ideology.

People not liking to eat cheese or beef or rice porridge is different than human rights issues. In general, I am not a fan of pushing or maintaining an ideology over another when it comes to economic and other such policies, but when it comes to human rights violations, I don't think that's something that should be bowed to.
Ｉ think this may also be a good way to separate libraries from application code, by considering the library as another actor instead of a direct function call. We are allowed to panic within the same abstraction layer (application or in a library), but panic should not cause another application using it to abort, there should be a way to let the application recover from it and decide whether to cancel the operation or do other actions. If the mutable states are not shared and execution can be recorded, we can just restart the library after abort and resume to the previous state.
> The only people that care that {some company} is censored in China are distinctly people outside of China.

That's how censorship works. The people inside the bubble don't know, by design, what information has been omitted, and therefore can't care.

The Chinese Room argument was literally an argument against mechanism / computationalism (ie that your mind is just a really complex neural network.)

So no, "by the same reasoning" humans cannot be considered non sentient.

In fact the original paper is not talking about sentience at all, but intelligence (these are different things.)

And the argument it isn't about declaring something sentient or non-sentient, it simply states that responding with expected outputs to a given input is not proof of sentience or intelligence.

It basically says you have to use some other method to determine if something is intelligent and has "understanding."

You should read up on this a lot more, it's fascinating, and you've got a very incorrect understanding of it.

Who says BTC isn't used for payments? Many porn sites ONLY allow you to pay with crypto, including PornHub[1], and they're keeping the lights on somehow. It's being used by the Ukrainian military to pay their suppliers while the banking system is offline[2]. It's being used for remittances. I had to pay my rent with it once. Also VPNs, etc. There's far more global economic activity conducted in BTC than in gold.

It all depends where you look. In some niches, BTC is used a lot. In some niches it isn't used by anyone (hi HN!) But it's a big world out there, and if you look outside your bubble it's not hard to find people using it.

Re: the last paragraph, BTC did indeed crumple under load for a long time around ~2016, and transaction fees were very high as a result. But lightning network has appeared since then and fees are back down to reasonable levels, well under $1. Those were serious growing pains, but we made it through just fine.

One of my close friends got a merit scholarship that covered 50% of her tuition at a top-2 school for her undergrad concentration.

Another got 50% merit, 50% student loans, and qualified for a Pell grant. But this was almost 10 years ago, no idea if the norms have changed.

But these were people in maybe the top decile of their top 1000 high schools. If you factor that in as a prior (which wouldn’t be uncommon for a well to do family), I think the odds of a good merit scholarship improve.

The insiders buy on the way up, and dump on the retail investors before things come crashing back down (who are drawn in by the reports of how much money is being made on Wall St. Not all of them execute flawlessly on this of course, but the bulk of who ends up losing out in this situation won't be those professionals, but rather the retail investors, or those who experienced higher costs on the way up in their 401k's and other retirement accounts and will be selling them at lower prices as they enter retirement (or otherwise will be experiencing likely a few years of sub-optimal growth). A major issue here is that while normally those approaching retirement are advised to diversify from equities into a fairly sizeable portion of fixed income, ultimately, many moved away from this strategy over the last few years due to the Fed's bond buying program, which ultimately drove up the price of bonds as well, keeping yields low, so the usual ability to see at least some growth without taking on the risk associated with equity markets wasn't nearly as available as it has been in the past. Those who didn't adjust, meanwhile, are taking major hits, as their bond holdings have seen value plummet amid the Fed backing off of the bond buying program, and are stuck between selling at a loss or holding low yielding bonds.

As for the managers of those mutual funds...well, most of those funds don't have them anymore, since the Vanguard revolution initiated by Jack Bogle, as the bulk of the industry is passive mutual funds, which simply track their associated index. They're cheap (in terms of expense ratio), but offer nobody steering the ship to react in the face of turbulence...always a trade off to bear in mind.
