I think a good approach would be for people to build things that exhibit consciousness according to whatever their model is and claim "this is conscious". Then let people debate whether it is or not.

I was pretty skeptical about a lot of the negative press about China for a long time. Then the Chinese colonial takeover over Hong Kong went from soft to hard in 2019, during which they leveraged organize crime to try to quell dissent.

This made it very clear to me that organized crime is a wing of the Chinese government.

"In Switzerland, my vote goes into a ballot box, guarded by people from different parties. They are counted by citizens from different parties, with many people in the same room. "

I very much agree to your point, that laypersons need to be able to understand the system. At least the basic concept. No dark magic.

>how many minutes will pass before you are arrested?

What a perfectly timed question: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/14/world/asia/china-internet.... So, you probably won't get arrested, but you'll definitely get demonetised. Maybe even banned on Weibo.

Now compare this with something more atypical: four years in prison for talking back to a police officer, https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/1567515298479149057.

Note, however, that we're talking about two different things: I was talking about the culture of "keeping to themselves", which, when applied on a larger scale, goes directly against transparency, and that's what we see in China. What you're talking is mostly about how media works. Sure, in the West you can say whatever you want and nobody cares - precisely because nobody cares what you say ("majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts", https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-poli...).

>in Taiwan you would not be arrested just for holding up a sign

Indeed, it's been over 30 years now since the end of White Terror (~20 thousands killed, ~140 thousands imprisoned).

>Meanwhile, what has the Chinese government done to publicly apologise for the crime of Tiananmen, to commemorate its victims and punish its perpetrators?

The prime minister responsible for it spent the rest of his life in house arrest. I'd say both countries handled it much better than how it's traditionally done in the West.

Still, I'm not buying it - "it" being the difference in public awareness of Tiananmen and Gwangju massacre being caused by governments apologising. But I don't have anything better than "gut feeling" at the moment.

The funny thing is, that approach used to be from Samsung or Google: bring in a shiny looking, but immature and still kinda useless feature and try to make it decent in the next iterations. Like always on display, the foldables, pen support on the Note series, or project Soli on the Pixel 4 etc.

Apple used to wait for a good implementation to jump on the bandwagon.

Fascinating story. Thanks for sharing.

> Ray’s mother asked the Lodge to give him antidepressants. But to the Lodge psychiatrists the premise of this form of treatment – to be cured without insight into what had gone wrong – seemed superficial and cheap. Drugs “might bring about some symptomatic relief”, Ross, Ray’s psychiatrist, acknowledged, “but it isn’t going to be anything solid in which he can say, ‘Hey, I’m a better man. I can tolerate feelings.’”

I remember a HN comment from trained pharmacist (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32103546) that argues the same thing: “I promise you that no drug that you can take can make any permanent changes to edit your mind”

Ray looked at two different stories about his illness, the psychoanalytic and the neurobiological, but both "failed him". I would say that the psychoanalytic story has a better chance of explaining his case, but for some reason he wasn't receptive to it.

Relatedly, the chemical imbalance theory of depression was disproved in a popular study published two months ago. Here is a good summary: https://youtu.be/TZhgvr2rbwE. But SSRI are still effective, at least in reducing symptoms. We basically don't understand why and how they work.

How good are we at explaining large ML model outputs?

My understanding is not very good?

And that is with us having a very deep understanding of the hardware, software, algorithms, and mathematics involved.

Now let’s suppose that you run your ML model on a computer and you get bad results.

Two experts show up. One says that you have a faulty memory chip and that they can fix what is wrong with the memory chip and then the model should work.

The other says that because of the training data the model was exposed to, some of the weights are bad, and by providing focused new data for the model to train with, they can adjust those weights so the model produces better output.

While you are deciding, these two then get into a big fight each accusing the other of being a charlatan.

My guess: in C++ it's templated and header-only, which means optimized hash table code gets generated for the types you use it for, and you don't pay for it in binary size when you don't use it. In C you get stuff like qsort which is a single symbol in the libc binary, to which you have to pass a comparison function as a pointer, which is awkward and slow because it isn't inlined (unless you do link-time optimization, do people really?).

It's relevant, at least.

The single point of failure was a bad implementation detail of a bad feature, and that feature mostly existed because of how all-or-nothing the "aircraft type" training is.
This isn't just "I can set it to something else if I go out of my way", this is "systems provide well-documented and standardized methods for setting this parameter to something else, and there are some widely used programs using precisely this feature." It's not common but that's exactly what default parameters are for: uncommon-yet-valid use cases. Yet you seem to treat your opinion that this is an implicit contract as somehow sufficient for establishing that it's a contract, despite what I just mentioned indicating otherwise. What contract can you point to that mandates argv[0] be set to the program name?

> i.e., the contract line is fundamentally separate from the appropriate-in-people’s-judgment line.

You nailed it, and ultimately, I'm glad you shared this fallacy/concept.

Re-thinking my reaction, I don't think the line-drawing fallacy is constructive here and maybe in general.

Here's what happened,

1. The original comment said "Denying part of compensation after the fact is bad (sic) look."

2. Then the follow-up asked for a "standard" for what duration of time needs to pass for the decision to be regarded "bad" despite being contractually allowed.

3. Then you said "The claim [in #1] isn't wrong just because there's no universal precise line."

IMO, #2's a constructive question to ask because the answers add information about someone's position and furthers debate. The judicial system uses this all the time with "reasonable-ness" standards by specifying a fuzzy line or a "reasonable person would know it when they see it". And if #1 were to say "I don't know how many days make it good/bad," then it's not compelling reasoning and more opinion-based -- which is fine, but not very compelling because it's so vague.

It seems like a lower order fallacy to use in a debate.

Other countries manage to built nuclear plants on time and on budget. China and South Korea are managing it.

In the west, nuclear plants were more affordable when built at scale. It's not just reactors that are costly, specialty parts like steam generators and turbines are cheaper to produce in runs of 40 instead of 4. It's not so much the blueprint that makes a plant cheap. It's building two dozen of the same blueprint.

> Gun ownership is baked into our founding documentation

Not in the way that NRA nor gun rights activists think nor claim.

1. The Founding Fathers were devoted to the militia.[1]

2. The amendment’s primary justification was to prevent the United States from needing a standing army.[1]

3. The authors of the Bill of Rights were not concerned with an “individual” or “personal” right to bear arms.[1]

4. The Founding Fathers were very concerned about who should, or should not, be armed.[1]

Anyone wishing for a return to an original meaning of the Second Amendment — where no one was a professional soldier, but everyone would be required to participate in the militia — would find themselves far from the political mainstream.[1]

If you want to make an argument about founding documents and classical interpretation, that's fine, but then we're going to be required to adopt the Framers' intent (which is undeniable as summarized above when examining the minutes of the Constitutional Congresses), and ignore and remove any subsequently introduced individual right to bear arms,[2] and gun owners will be required to join the National Guard. I am all for it.

And I'm not sure why in this ruling "tradition" is given so much weight. There was no tradition of personal rights to arms until well, well after the turn of the 20th Century, so the NRA was very late to invent this tradition.[2] If 1968 is not old enough for tradition, then how is it that 1950 is? Is the 13th Amendment in jeopardy of being a violation of the somehow new legal supremacy of tradition?

I'd add that it would be pointless to try to hide a fair number of them, given that they approach the size of school buses (no joke — the now-retired KH-9 was nicknamed "Big Bird" for good reason) and can be imaged on relatively consumer-ready optics. Some Russians made a nice stink a few years ago by using (IIRC) laser illumination to make some relatively high-res shots of American recce sats.

The interesting aspects of them have to do with how far off-axis they can function. This was the major consequence of loss of the Morison leak of the KH-11 shots of a Soviet carrier to Jane's Defense Weekly — the image revealed how far off-axis it could image and some clues to how it processed imagery.

What scares me is that some leading AI researchers hold this view (that consciousness in general is nothing special) and it makes them come across as unempathetic, as if all conscious beings---meat or AI---are simply computers and in turn pain is just some kind of computation and therefore that it's silly to even discuss taking precautions to prevent any kind of AI suffering.
Then your argument is with the GP about whether we need nuclear power plants.
There is the notion of panpsychism: that consciousness defined in the basic sense is extant everywhere, all the time, in many varied forms and scopes. By the definitions above, awareness would be restricted to those systems which could reasonably be considered "cognitive", and sentience would belong only to those who can conceptualize "cogito ergo sum".
