In Europe, the middle and upper middle class taxes itself to pay for “free” education.

In the US, families making up to $250,000–which would be in the top tax bracket in nearly every European country—conceive of themselves as proletariat that deserve both rock-bottom taxes that haven’t been increased since Reagan, as well as free stuff from the government, at the same time.

Opium wars didn't even involve America though. I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume it is intentional for any specific reason.
It seems that you are thinking that perceptions lead
to experience, and then nothing else.

My view is that perceptions lead to internal processing
that in turn is itself perceived by our cognition, in
addition to the original perceptions

By this definition, which I don't necessarily disagree with, wouldn't a single level of reflection/introspection have to qualify as consciousness?

If we decide that a simple light sensor isn't "conscious" because it's a pure input/output machine with no machinery that could reasonably be described as "internal processing", then what about a Roomba?
It has already been explained to you numerous times that the above is false. Who do you imagine you will fool this time?
too bad it loads 3 trackers and puts all your personal data into salesforce. i think governments shouldn't be allowed to share personal data like this with corporations--e.g., software/servers should have to be on-prem.

This whole site is a CJ and hypocrisy. We’re all on our devices, made my minors in third world countries, using electricity powered by non renewable resources.

My original post was criticizing our blind trust in this research in a complex system that we understand very little of. Rather than changing our ways governments would rather gamble on fucking up the earth all together. Ands… criticizing this, let the tribes of YC means we believe in tree spirits…

>Russia needs to be completely humiliated, economically and geopolitically.

That worked pretty well after WW1 with Germany. Maybe it will work even better this time.
I believe the difference is that during a Dunkelflaute, peaker plants might have to generate a large amount of or the majority of electricity, whereas today, peaker plants are build to only generate relatively small amount of power at the margin.

So, we'd have to build a large number of peaker plants, which are really expensive in that they have to amortize their costs over a small amount of uptime.

The liver itself might be simple but the complexity is in the enzyme pathways. The marker of "elevated liver enzymes" doesn't tell us much.

Taking a step back, there is only one organ I will admit we understand better than the brain, the heart. It's the only organ where we know enough to replace it with a mechanical counterpart. We don't know enough to make it last a long time, but it's enough to prolong someone's life in a meaningful way.
>In the near future, we will see some cores that don't support 32bit arm code at all.

We already do. Lots of them. Every iPhone since the iPhone 8. M1 and M2 Macs. ThunderX in server farms, Cortex-X2 and Cortex-A510 cores in your high end 2022 Android phones (Galaxy S22, Xiaomi 12 etc). The Cortex-A710 cores in those phones do still run 32 bit code if needed.

ARM has said all new applications processor cores from 2023 will drop 32 bit support.

I remember I was big into Modula-2 as well in the '90s. I started out with BASIC and then moved onto Modula-2 before fixating on C and C++. I think I really only picked it up because I found a free compiler (I don't remember which) and great tutorials (from Coronado, who later had C++ tutorials as well).

A great language that really got me thinking in a more structured fashion about programming.
Generally, your kids won't want your stuff. I've had a few friends who've had to deal with parents who left a lifetime of crap for their children to deal with, and it seems kinder to get rid of as much of it as you can before you die.

Of course, there are always a few exceptions in the form of sentimentally- or actually-valuable objects that your children have expressed a specific interest in.

The article is not a sociological or psychological treatise, but if you put some credence at all into what is partly (but not exclusively) anecdotal evidence, it makes the case that for many (probably the majority) who find themselves in infantry combat, it is worse than they feared or imagined. If it is protracted (and a figure of ~200 days is given), essentially all the survivors are traumatized, often profoundly.

During the 82-day battle of Okinawa, I believe American lieutenants were in combat on average less than two weeks before being killed or becoming a casualty through traumatic injury (and it was worse for the Japanese troops), which cannot be passed off as long periods of boredom. The article is specifically about front-line experience, which (it is claimed, plausibly) is very different than even that of rear-echelon troops, and commingling the two does a disservice to the former.

I feel fairly confident in saying that watching a horror movie is nothing like any of it.

I am currently taking depression medication. Have been taking it for the last five years. It may or may not be helping me. I did try to taper it off with help from a doctor, but I literally became crazed from withdrawal. I went back to the same dosage as before.

At this point, I’m afraid I’m stuck with the medication and I’ll have no way of getting off it. Who knows what it is doing to my brain chemistry?
SF author (and marine biologist) Peter Watts described something very much like this, only more advanced, in his book Maelstrom (2001):

"Achilles Desjardins had always found smart gels a bit creepy. People thought of them as brains in boxes, but they weren't. They didn't have the parts. Forget about the neocortex or the cerebellum—these things had nothing. No hypothalamus, no pineal gland, no sheathing of mammal over reptile over fish. No instincts. No desires. Just a porridge of cultured neurons, really: four-digit IQs that didn't give a rat's ass whether they even lived or died. Somehow they learned through operant conditioning, although they lacked the capacity either to enjoy reward or suffer punishment. Their pathways formed and dissolved with all the colorless indifference of water shaping a river delta."

Much of his work, including Maelstrom, is freely available on his own website:https://rifters.com/real/shorts.htm

equifax is still around after leaking enough information to steal the identities of half of america?
Reading through the comments I get the sense that there's something missing in our attempts to link "qualia" to hardware/wetware. My brain is made of neurons but "I" am not my neurons in and of themselves. There seems to be an emergent system of collective behaviour and responses to inputs that I call me. If a madman were to perform an experiment, successively scooping out teaspons of brain matter from my skull, I would start out being "me", but at some point, I would no longer be me (or perhaps anyone at all in the sense of being a conscious human). So while the hardware/wetware is a requirement, the conscious being "me" that I feel that I am, seems to be an emergent property of the organisation and dare I say "training" (tuning?) of this hardware.

So, if "I" am defined at an emergent level above the mere hardware, then there must be way of describing/defining the model of me. Intuitively, we build models of each other, especially people we know well. What is that model beyond an expectation/predictive model of behaviour based on possible inputs?

I feel that's where the gold is.

Full disclosure: I am just a fascinated bystander to this discussion. If this comment has elicited eye-rolls from those more familiar with the state of play, my apologies.

I'm being pretty pessimistic here, I admit. At the same time though, documenting this stuff is a fragile task. I mostly oppose to the monetary incentive side of it, which creates unfair power dynamics between photographer who used to be a day trader for two decades and someone less-fortunate. Maybe other people are less sensitive to that, it's just my two cents.

> It’s so weird to read this and then consider that some people do/did see this as the standard of being ‘not poor’.

It's all relative. Both of my parents were working full-time and also addicts, which made the money pretty tight. There were definitely weeks where we lived paycheck-to-paycheck. Again though, none of this is to throw a personal pity party. My larger disagreement comes down to his methods.
It’s easy to say that if you lack the Chinese perspective. They point to the opium wars as the reason they failed to industrialize at the same time as other nations. And that they are still digging out of that hole to this day. With this perspective in mind, the motive to continue pushing fentanyl is clear. In the relentless Chinese narrative about their “5000 years of continuous culture”, 160 years is a blink of an eye to settle the score.

You imagine there is no plan because you do not know about the plans.

It would be stupid to build storage there is not renewable generating capacity to charge. When there is such capacity, they will then build out storage. In the meantime the correct place to spend is on generation. Which, in fact, is what they are doing.
Thanks, this is reassuring.
Well, clearly the 3% of people who get addicted on exposure should sit it out and just live in pain but for me that helped me recover quickly.

Fortunately for me, my doctors and nurses weren't obsessive ideologues and worked with me on a pain management program that involved opiates.

Can you imagine having to sit in that bloody bed unable to move unless you hit the button to call the nurse all while in mind blowing pain? I'll pass! You can keep your sanctimonious doctors giving you lectures. I'll keep my professionals. Big ups for the folks at Zuck SF Gen.

California has had rolling outages for years and in 2020 they had a blackout that impacted hundreds of thousands of residents during a heatwave. The failure occurred a bit after dusk when solar stopped producing and other states didn't have as much power to send to California to make up he difference. All the information is in the link below. California's energy policy looks a lot like Germany's which is to heavily weight your grid towards renewables, call yourself green, and then prey your neighbors produce enough energy to keep your grid stable. All the information is in the link below. The governor of California enacted a state of emergency concerning power shortages and narrowly averted another grid failure last month, so I wouldn't say that their reliability is anywhere close to acceptable.

I think the error is in your thinking of where the problem is. If you use screen or tmux inside a terminal what you are doing is relying on a window manager. If you are not using a terminal multiplexer and living in a single terminal you are just unproductive. Look for a window manager that fits your needs and graphical/ textual web browsers are no longer a defining limitation.

That said, there are a lot of people who have gotten off track on this including both the teams developing web browsers and those developing terminals.

There are few psychologists who deride medication just because they can’t prescribe it. In fact, it’s largely the other way around - psychiatrists look down upon psychologists and often decide their work.
Hey there, I'm an engineer at The Browser Company (who makes Arc).

It's critical to our eng, design & product processes.

We switched from another tool because the other tool was painfully slow. It was a night & day difference. It's been about a year now since we've fully committed to Linear. I'm very glad we have!

We use their cycles feature heavily. We ship our app weekly, and our product development process is split into three 2-week cycles that form a "milestone". We model that work accordingly in Linear.

We also use their "Projects" feature quite heavily. We'll often have folks working across a few projects a time. This feature helps my ADHD brain understand what the most important thing across any number of ongoing projects is, and then focus on accomplishing that.

Personally, the best feature for me is the speed of the app. That, alongside the keyboard shortcuts, make it pretty hard to give up.

Another thing I particularly like about Linear (aside from speed, product polish & wonderful design) is how you can opt-in to using it more. If you just want to use it as an issue tracker for teams, that works great! It's how we started. But you can also grow into the product more as you harden your processes or figure out what works best for you.

tl;dr — I can't imagine ever using another tool to help build products besides Linear.
Thanks for the link. I don’t read the news so it’s the first time I’m seeing it. I didn’t see anything in there that alluded to people not currently in debt getting anything which matches what I had read in the past when this policy first surfaced.

Not having dedicated overflow checking instructions doesn't mean that you can't check overflows. You can.

There is no problem because checking overflows doesn't in practice cause significant overhead, especially in the kinds of superscalar CPUs that are in mobile devices and laptops and PCs and servers these days. Most of the time those wide OoO CPUs are looking in vain for more parallelism. Adding a few overflow-checking instructions just gives them something to do with execution slots they otherwise often can't use.

If there is a actual problem -- which needs to be PROVEN not just hand-waved -- then analyse it in the real world, document it, propose an ISA extension that would actually make things better in real-world applications, not just some hand-picked tiny loop or function.
> It was decided decades ago in a referendum that Sweden should move away from nuclear power

A 1980 referendum where the three options were

1. Decommission the nuclear power, as soon as it is socio-economically feasible.

2. Decommission the nuclear power, as soon as it is socio-economically feasible. Work on reducing electricity use (by e.g. stopping new homes from being built with electric heating), invest in renewable power, and nationalize power generation to be able to control its future.

3. Decommission the nuclear power within 10 years.

So, it's no wonder that "Decommission the nuclear power" won that referendum. Anyone who brings up this referendum as a reason to decommission nuclear power 40 years later is being disingenuous.
But that's the point. I have no willpower. I just don't need it for opiates. And it's quite clear that the effect varies for people. Some people experience addiction and others don't.

I'm glad the present system doesn't have holier than thou doctors sitting around lecturing you while your vision whites out in pain. And you know what? I'm glad that there are medical staff out there intelligent enough to be aware of this for physical pain.

The mental guys haven't quite figured it out yet - mostly because their studies don't replicate so they have very little knowledge.
This whole story is just disgraceful.

And while there are definitely understandable concerns about interviewing a basically imprisoned population, 1. the fact that only a handful of prisoners opted to speak while the rest declined shows that they did have at least some degree of choice, and 2. the viewer can balance what the documentary presents against the circumstances in which it was created.

Considering the actual content of the documentary it’s hard to see how else this story could be told.

Finally, I thought we were past the whole “only people of a community can make stories about that community” thing. It would be one thing if someone with a similar background had stayed in the facility for a year and also made an equivalent story. Arguably they should get higher weight. But no one else did. This story is not displacing anyone else. In its absence all we have is a vacuum.

He believes that consciousness cannot be reduced to atomic level phenomena. That kind of discussion is only about his so-called easy problem. To him, there is something beyond that. I refer to that "something" as magic because I believe there isn't anything beyond matter/energy to describe all examples of emergence, including consciousness.

Going to my original comment's example of removing atoms from a brain, the number of atoms, which atoms, and interactions between the atoms is the mystery.

Also — I’m saying this as a former vegan — I have developed so many food allergies that I literally cannot be vegan anymore (the vast, vast majority of my food allergies are plants). And yes I carry an epi-pen, they can kill me, etc. If I ate plants only, I would die.
