Ok, so you are saying a cat isn't sentient?

And yet, most would agree that a cat can feel pain, but a machine can't. I think most people would object if the Google engineer said "I think this AI is every bit as sentient as a cat." They'd still say he's crazy.

I also wonder what would happen if that particular AI actually had logic to "observe its own thought processes and integrate them back into consciousness". Would we then just spin on the semantics, such as by arguing that this isn't really "observing" and it certainly isn't "consciousness"? (how can you define words like "consciousness" without using words or concepts like "sentience", bringing us back to square one?)

So I don't think meta-cognition is the answer either.
This seems to be the story for nearly all static site generators (except for maybe Jekyll, whose drawback is it's a hassle for non-Ruby devs to properly setup a Ruby environment, especially on Windows).

I migrated from WordPress to Hugo for awhile, but eventually gave and migrated back. You can love WordPress or hate it, but it has an infinite variety of paid and free professional-quality themes. Hugo has a slew of one-person amateur projects, the best of which are half-baked clones of WordPress themes. What's worse, they tend to be poorly-maintained, and stop working whenever Hugo introduces breaking changes (which at least a few years ago, was frequent).

I appreciate all of the conceptual advantages of a static site generator versus a CMS application host. But for most users, a website tool is simply only as good as its theme ecosystem.
As someone who has chosen to get rid of my car and rely on public transport I would say the biggest problem public transport faces is quality and not cost. For people to trade in their cars connections need to be fast, frequent and a comfortable ride. This requires large investments and having high enough fares helps offset those investments. Making it free makes it harder to achieve that level of quality, so while it will sway the most price-conscious group, it would never convince the masses to take a train instead of their car.

How many news reports and articles about people making money were there about crypto?

How many tech sites were filled with people talking about how crypto was going to change the world?

How many “influencers” and celebrities were advertising crypto?

How many Super Bowl ads?

How is a person who simply wants their savings account to make more interest than inflation meant to know that all of that was a scam? It’s not like these people and companies were being charged with fraud.

Agree. There have been no breakthroughs. The projects getting funding are just different enough to be not immediately disprovable and continue to spectacularly overpromise without solving any of the real problems. Chamber embrittlement?

If you despise the violence the state used to make you and your father miserable, the consistent position would be to advocate for doing away with the state's monopoly on dictating the terms of marriage (and, consequently, divorce) in the first place.
If you also take into account the time you spend at an airport and the possible slowdown from the wind (900km/h is airspeed) while having a theoretical but technically feasible 450km/h high speed train as well as the time it takes to go to and from airports (you can put train stations downtown and near public transport) you can actually achieve parity in most situations, or near parity in others

I wanted to check this because my memory was that while he did self-sabotage in various ways, I did remember him having long enough career that was largely quite successful. So his time in Europe finished in 1993 (aged 33) with a relatively unsuccessful period at Sevilla (26 games, 5 goals) - which is as I thought. But I had NO memory of him playing four more years until 1997, and at Newell's and Boca no less! Incredible.

That said his affinity for cocaine, alcohol and partying in general undoubtedly blunted and stunted his career, which is mindblowing considering the success he had. What a player.

While a noble act, this is nearly as inefficient as using a code generator tool to convert binary data into intermediate C source. Other routes to embed binary data don't force the compiler to churn through text bloat.

It would be much better if a new keyword were introduced that could let the backend fill in the data at link time.

Dude read, I get that you think the victims deserve to lose their savings because of course the dominant financial news for the last few years with no fraud charges was clearly a scam, right?

The voyager victims were repeatedly and explicitly told that their deposits were FDIC insured - they were literally doing the “right” thing and putting their money in a safe high[er] interest rate bank, and their money was insured if the company did collapse.

Except they were being lied to the entire time, and there was no such insurance, so all their “safe” savings are now gone, while the owners of the fund are rich.

But yeah, it was clearly the victims fault.
Is that what makes him legendary?
It depends. It's definitely usually easier to get to your hotel (often by walking) in NYC from Penn than from any of the airports. Less true in Boston (though there is a suburban stop south of the city) and in DC Reagan is pretty convenient on the metro. But, generally, downtown train stations with good transit tilt towards train travel relative to airports an hour out, especially without good transit.
I have been a commuter on some big commuter lines for 15+ years and it is actually very punctual.

I have also been on trains in a bunch of different places and I never been in a place where I thought, man train travel here is better then in Switerland.

Some inner city transport is certainty better in many places.

> People are told to “invest for retirement” and to do their financial planning based on 4-8% per year growth after inflation, when the risk free rate has been 2% or less for 20 years.

You're trading risk for reward, so the standard advice of de-risking your portfolio as you approach retirement age is quite reasonable. Doesn't make much sense for a 24 year old to stick to the risk free treasury rate for 40-50 years.
They don't even decouple at high material standards of living. Recent increases to GDP produced emissions too but those new emissions were offset by reductions in emissions of existing industries.

This "decoupling" gets us basically nothing because it's not like we can just stop emissions tomorrow since GDP and emissions are "decoupled".
This advice to avoid politics by becoming a people pleaser is not a bad strategy to attain the goal, but it might come at the cost of your sanity. The only way to be not involved in politics is to totally accept the current situation and to align your goals and interests with those in power.

I don't have a problem with a study like this. Companies like match.com have this data and much more. OKCupid's founder used to share some of their insights but he sold out. I'll always welcome adding more data to the public knowledge base even if it's a silly little thing like human matchmaking.

This is actually what scares me about the artificial intelligence revolution, private companies are feeding their exclusive knowledge about humans to machine models that will then know more about us then we do. Those models are already being used to psychologically manipulate us, which after all is the specialty of these advertising companies.

Just an aside to go along with sibling comments: Pfizer's press release back in 2020 [0], the one where the "95% efficacy" statement came from, was also careful to distinguish SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. It used both terms correctly and made no claims about preventing infection. We knew this for ~2 months after that press release [1][2][3].

It was the politicians/media who conflate SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 that assumed this also meant preventing infection, and the general public had little reason to distrust them at the time. Even among people who have kept up with this, these couple of months seem to have been pretty strongly memory-holed.

Some people seem to have a strong dislike of cats, so posing with one would lend to providing a filtering effect (i.e. Just as you describe: more rejections, but the passes are better matched.)

That said I don't really buy into studying these kinds of perceptions beyond the obvious conclusions because attraction is too subjective to be studied with such simple toggles. To study it this way has the naivety of a reddit thread "LADIES WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOU INSTANTLY ATTRACTED TO A MAN".

Attraction is more than a sum of the individual parts, and the success of a relationship [interpreted as longevity] has been shown to not rely so much on choosing the perfect partner, but rather how you treat them once you have them.1

Actual advances in fusion and related energy generation tech. For example, at least one startup, Helion, is developing a way to generate electricity directly from the fusion reaction and magnetic field, instead of indirectly by heating water into steam that then turns a turbine generator. The increased efficiency from that might enable it produce net electricity. And quite frankly, it's way past time that we advanced beyond converting energy -> heat -> motion -> electricity, and shortened that cycle to energy -> electricity.
I think the major safety standard is set by the IEC (which is International); the exact safety standard is here behind a paywall: https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/494

40-50c for a device with metallic chassis.

60-70c for device with plastic chassis

(I can't be sure what the precise recommendation is as I see 40c referenced but 50c also referenced in other parts, depending on contact period etc;)

This is not really a meaningful comparison: You have your TeX compiler (pdfTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX, and the older e-TeX) that takes a document in some format and produces a PDF or DVI. In my tests (that did not include e-TeX) pdfTeX tends to be the fastest here, but sometimes you need modern fonts, so you have no choice but to use the other two.

The TeX compiler then loads a format like plain TeX (which the above commenter uses), LaTeX, or ConTeXt. The format defines what macros are available. LaTeX adds a package system, as does ConTeXt (modules) so you can import even more macros on-demand. These TeX formats differ in scope and thus speed, LaTeX tends to be a bit heavier but what really weighs it down are the myriad of packages it is usually used with.

Many TeX distributions will define aliases like pdflatex in your path such that you can preload pdfTeX with the LaTeX format, but they are not really separate compilers.
I guess the question is "is it Twitter's goal to have the appeals process work, or just exist?" If they have some dumb automation that just rejects most initial attempts, it could discourage their users to the point where they can employ a much smaller staff to handle the appeals. Especially if the sanction can be solved by the user just deleting the content.

Book Review: Facing the Dragon
Ask HN: Is 20 too late to go to college?
Basically the title. Finished my second year of college, which is a good college but not the best in the country (Top 10 college in country).

Now that I'm done with my 2nd year of undergrad, I've managed to get admission into the best college in the country (by a country mile). No transferring credits though - and I'll have just turned 20 when I join (if I join).

That's pretty much the gist of it - should I leave my Top 10 college for the Number One college? Since I'm joining at 20, will it be too late? I'll be graduating at 24 - do you think it's worth it? Will future employers look upon this switch negatively?
Which generation is that? The ones who had a much easier time affording college, houses, making a living (even just with a high school degree), etc, and just think everyone can pick themselves up by their bootstraps? Or is this just another low hanging cheap snub at millennials and gen z?

Tbh, I'm a millennial, but always thought "everyone gets a trophy" was a crock, as did many of my peers.

What's also a crock though is the world we've been left with, but that's also become just a cheap low hanging generational quib that is counterproductive. Then again, it does actually provide some sense of foresight

The relative success of one country vs another is multifactorial, mysterious, and I would have a lot to say about it, or better, to speculate about, but for now I will simply say that Scotland is a small country, therefore with a limited number of candidates for international-level football, and is losing part of their talent pool to the sport of rugby. Most of the backs and some flankers would definitely be good candidates for top-level football.

Croatia has basketball, but the talent pools for basketball and football do not overlap. Then, we are talking here about national teams. At the club level, the performance of teams from Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland is far from that of teams from the most, football-wise, prestigious countries.

> if you believe in a proposition, it entirely makes sense for you to argue for it

If someone believes in a magic soul, because philosophy, yeah they will make up whatever arguments they want to support it. Yes, that is my point. People started off with their conclusion, which is that they believe in magic, or they believe in some moral statement, and then they want to say that the universe proves them right, even though it has zero connection to the real world.

> Philosophy isn't in the business of making testable predictions

Exactly, they just want to make obfuscatory arguments that then allows them to make whatever claim that they want about anything.

And then when people try to actually test their claims, they then say that by definition their arguments can't be tested.

> You assume that philosophy is like religion.

It effectively is. Just make up a self referential, presumption that god exists, and it is basically the same as the philosophers who believe in dualism.

> just as logic or history isn't in the business of making testable predictions.

The big difference between mathmaticians, and philosophers, is that even though one could argue that some obscure mathematical theory that is never going to come up in the real world, is as equally "not real" as philosophy, is that mathematicians don't use their self referential axioms (in a situation which does not connect to the real world) to then say "And this is why the world should be switch to socialism" or "this is why you should be a vegan".

If I say that a math theory is not real because it has no connection to the real world, a mathmatician isn't going to say that they are, by definition, the experts on truth and morals, and therefore I should do what they say anyway.

If you want to say that philosophy helps a little bit with some reasoning skills, or as a way to think about things, sure whatever, fine.

But the problem is that philosophers, when they talk about meta-ethics or meta-truth, or whatever, then try to use their circular arguments to then claim that they are the experts on literally everything, because well "truth" and "ethics", by definition are everything.

I am going to say no on that. Just because you came up with some circular argument, that relates to truth, or ethics, or whatever, it does not mean that people have to listen to philosophers on basically anything.
Not that it has a better chance of changing the world, just that it has a better chance of making them some money back in a reasonable time.
