This always used to be my thought as well. Consciousness and intelligence had a clear hierarchy in my mind. Slowly though I am not so sure anymore. Watching plants grow in their own time frame in the documentary "the private life of plants", reading about the communication networks of trees in "The Hidden Life of Trees" and having observed nature a lot; this hierarchy starts to fade.

There is a big connection between consciousness and morality. Killing a family of bears to safe a human child would be seen as a moral think to do. We explain this to ourselves by using levels of consciousness. It is okay to kill, enslave etc. a species with a lower level of consciousness for the benefit of one with a higher level. And humans have the highest levels of consciousness.
I believe this is an illusion or even a coping mechanisms for admitting that we find our own species more important.
Think of it this way; what if there existed an alien race, superior in intellect and consciousness. Would we be okay with it enslaved us? Would we kill one of our own if it meant saving one of them. I think not. I think the connection between consciousness and morality would disappear.

When connecting consciousness with morality, admitting consciousness to a life form becomes subjective and a costly dilemma.
I think that by just admitting that we prefer the survival of our own kind it would be easier to see rich world of many possible consciousness entities in this world. Be it humans, insects, trees or even interconnected systems of species.
None of the censorship people complain about on Twitter is to do with enforcing politeness or decorum, it's all censorship of specific information or opinions regardless of how politely phrased. And that lack of fixed rules is part of the problem. Trying to paint this as "conservatives hate politeness" is just dishonesty.
What is a "founder" these days in this context?. The term seems to not mean someone founding a company, but i guess not a vc? Not an angel, ceo... someone with experience building a business?

> ...nature is famous for calling it quits once something works well enough...

Great, so we're just bags of meat sashaying around with loads of technical debt baggage via the slapdash coding delivered by nature in a multi-billion year project. The ongoing result of always picking good and cheap over fast.
I've made peace with the fact that rewrites are almost a necessity, however well you do it the first time. Currently I'm rewriting a well-designed and written piece of code, which just was abstracted in a way that couldn't support new business requirements.

I've embraced this approach in personal projects too, and don't suffer from analysis paralysis or gumption traps as much as I used to.

Solution Evaluation and Validation
This area is primarily concerned with evaluating and validating proposed, in-progress, and implemented solutions prior to, during, and after the project life cycle. Many tasks in this knowledge area occur near the end of the project life cycle. The task of business analysts in this area is to define, measure, and analyze solution performance data. Following that, they must evaluate solution and enterprise limitations.
How does one use this on modern browers? If I paste it into the Firefox address bar, it interprets it as a search. I can get it to work by stripping off the "javascript:" prefix and pasting it into the console instead, but only on the site itself; if I try it on a different site the request is blocked by browser security measures. Is there any way to get this to work?

As far as I'm aware Pantone has always tried to claim copyright over their set of colours, despite this being an extremely questionable interpretation of copyright law.

There have been web-based colour scheme designers who had to remove Pantone colour support from their applications after getting a nastygram from Pantone.

It would be interesting if someone took Pantone to court on this and called BS on their legal claims.

My answer tried to be as generic as possible and leave out the "real world" and implementation details in general. There are fundamental limitations to what you can express in four sentences...

Compilation is "just" an intermediate step between code and using it in an interpreter. The interpreter can be pure hardware, mix of hardware and software, or you can do it on paper yourself (given time). These are implementation "details". Also, to me code is not a synomym with software, since I'm not referring to programmability, only to the transformation aspect. Programmability is an implementation detail. You may perform a transformation with hardware only, as mentioned above. The hardware itself could be described with code, e.g. in Verilog language. Manufacturing a silicon chip based on Verilog code is also an implementation detail.

In fact your CPU/PC is hardware and it is making transformation from input data to output data. In this case, besides the other input data, like keyboard input and files on disk, you may consider the binary code as part of the input data. This is where the confusion starts to happen. This is an implementation detail and should not be confused with the general notion of utility we want to have. Code is "only" the means to an end. We want to do stuff with the machine. We want to transform input data to output data, since that is essentially what we are after. For the goal of getting stuff done, data and code are separate things.

When saying "data is interpreted by code", it is partially correct. First of all data carries meaning, as in meaning for people (the data user). Data is encoded to some format (which is also data, but implementation data) and you could say that this encoding is "interpreted". However, the encoding is "just" an implementation detail which depends on the machine you are trying to use for the transformation. When the computer paints pixels on your monitor, it transfers data bits through display driver, through HDMI protocol (for example), to monitor itself. There are plenty of "interpreters" on that path. On the screen the pixels could represent the letter "A" and that could carry meaning for you (depending on the other stuff on the screen). This is why I stated that data is information about things. Encoded data is an implementation detail and varies between implementations, but the "true" data is essential and implementation independent. It carries meaning and utility value. Essential data is not interpreted by code. The user (a person) interpretes the essential data.

Code is data for the compiler. The compiler transforms source code (input data) to object code (output data). Code is data also for the interpreter. Algorithm contains all the essential information about the data transformations to be performed, and code in form of programming language text, is an implementation of that algorithm in the specific programming language. Algorithm is programming language independent. It's fair to say that by code I mean the algorithm. But also an algorithm must be presented in some form or another, so its code. :)

> Folks have been building sqlite3 for WASM since as far back as 2012

for *the web*, not for WASM. SQLite was initially compiled to simple javascript, then to asm.js when it appeared, then to WASM when it replaced asm.js :)

The sql.js project is older than the idea of WASM itself. And I like to think it contributed to showing the potential of compiling native code to the browser, and in the creation of the WASM standard.
Earthsea is great. Ursula also wrote a lot of amazing science fiction: left hand of darkness, the dispossessed, the lathe of heaven, the word for world is forest etc. All are worth reading.
The smaller markets make this really really fun. Take Thailand for example. It has real enforced lèse majesté laws. So content illegal there would also be illegal by anyone outside if it is shown there.

Now add rest of the countries with similar laws like Germany and you are in for either very gated communities or extreme moderation.
> Sure you're not

Defrost, now assuming there did not exist an interpretation that makes that original comment sensible - and really, I can think of one (it is vague and does not matter now) -, now consider the several possible reasons one may say instances of what you call «silly things», starting from a very personal sense of humour to very possible, "very personal other states". Automation being just a very limited sector in the realm of possibilities. Now see the image of somebody calling a "bot" somebody else who may, in an important range of cases, struggling for their own reasons - a few of them also common to all of us, unless for example some Benjamin Button's syndrome had you born fully adult.

I myself had been called "a bot" in this pages for having written very, very valid, I grant you, pieces of data and instances of reasoning that some in the public could not understand and dismissed. Even the style I used for this post I can already tell you will trigger a "must be a bot" in some readers. Very "avoidable" responses.

Take the seconds required to make a list of why people may «say[] silly things», and see why it is not a good idea to call them a bot. If you really cannot figure out some trivial possibilities, I may mention some among us that could create Operating Systems and yet "struggled".

Edit (an addition):

Paradoxically, if you could not understand, in some "Voight-Kampff test" scenario, why it would be offensive to call a bot e.g. some "Nietzsche" behind the curtains, guess who the Bayesian needle would incline to suspect as a bot.
I read the beginning of infinity a few years ago. Super interesting. What did you think of it?

I go the exact opposite way these days, I buy 3 drives from 3 different brands and run them in a ZFS raidz. This reduces the risk of all the drives failing at the same time (which can happen with any batch of disks) but also makes it easier to determine which physical drive needs replacing when you have a failed disk in a NAS (since each disk is unique).

Not really, since the other poster was saying Elon would be axing things like moderation. I'm saying essentially it doesn't matter if he does or doesn't, because it barely exists at all anyways.

The Gulf War comes to mind.
From Wikipedia:

> Coalition bombing raids destroyed Iraqi civilian infrastructure. 11 of Iraq's 20 major power stations and 119 substations were totally destroyed, while a further six major power stations were damaged.[49][50] At the end of the war, electricity production was at four percent of its pre-war levels. Bombs destroyed the utility of all major dams, most major pumping stations, and many sewage treatment plants, telecommunications equipment, port facilities, oil refineries and distribution, railroads and bridges were also destroyed.

"Simple", then "apt upgrade" and "reboot" inside the same statement makes me believe that you're thinking small, like "my own server with my own self-written PHP application". Which is not wrong, but that's not how tech scales.

How would you apply that procedure to 1,000s of servers, in the right order, to prevent downtime? How much would it take?

Won't it be far better to create a new container image, run all the testing on it, and deliver it everywhere with the already-existing upgrade procedure for your cluster?
Sure, but if the data lives on my property then they need to get a judge to sign off on probable cause and show me the warrant. Then at least I am aware of what is happening and can challenge it in court, or go public, if it is unjustified.

When the data lives with Apple or Google, they can just secretly take it, even in bulk. The NSA wire taps on Google and others were a real thing that actually happened. No pesky constitutional protections in the way for the data you freely give to corporations.
This is most likely a joke that got lost in translation because there has poor communication by top leadership.

Eh, I think you can get various axes on a biological sex spectrum even if you consider the the definition of biological sex: if someone has male gonads and XY chromosomes but has undergone sex reassignment surgery and is undergoing estrogen hormone replacement theory, would you still classify them strictly biologically male if they don't meet two of the four generally used criteria for sex? And in the case you don't believe that all those criteria should be used for determining biological sex, then that's another thing people need to agree on. I think characterizing biological sex as a spectrum can be a useful way of thinking it, but I think people end up dragging the culture war debate into it.

All Saints Day is quite a widespread holiday, at least in Europe. I found the date pretty curious as well.
Honestly, if what they though Twitter was before was fine to advertise on, despite the lack of actual coherent moderation; then we are all blessed by the lack of those advertisers.

And if that makes Elon panic, then we are blessed doubly in that way as well, because he might either actually do something useful to make it a nicer place to be; or he might burn it to the ground.

Both are ideal in my personal opinion.
Ursula Le Guin has a gift for punchy prose. I've also read The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness by her and her ability to come up with truly novel, unique storyline and views of the world is incredible.

The biggest Issue is that error handling is completely broken in POSIX shell scripting (including Bash). Even errexit doesn't work as any normal language would implement it (One could say it is broken by design).

So if you don't care about error cases everything is fine, but if you do, it gets ugly really fast. And that is the reason why other languages are probably be better suited if you want to write something bigger that 10 lines.

However, I have to admit, I don't follow that advice myself...
> Another, however, is that openssl is uniquely poor quite separately from the language it happens to be implemented in.

There are well-known, proven solutions to the memory management problems that affect OpenSSL (a C library) in a regular basis, and there are languages that implement those solutions. Among them, Rust, Ada and others.

I think it's incredibly responsible that they take governance seriously at a small organization like this. It'd be easy to take donations in some informal or crowdfunded way but going down the route of registering as a charity and having proper accounting and paperwork in place goes a long way to make sure people can be certain that their money is used well. In particular if the people running it ever change.
No shame in that, I say.

I've completely lost any interest in reading fiction, because it's almost always a letdown. Good ideas with poor writing. Good writing with poor endings. The disappointments go on and on, and that's hours wasted. I've tried my friends' suggestions, best-of lists... the stories are consistently lame, except for the handful of masterpieces like Dune.

On the other hand, I'll gladly curl up with a nice comp sci or math book, and that'll be enriching, challenging, and time well spent.

Ask HN: Best way to learn modern Physics?
I've recently become interested in modern Physics. I want to understand quantum mechanics, space-time, quantum gravity, and what we understand about the nature of reality. I have a decent mathematical background (PhD in CS) but almost no Physics knowledge. I took a few Physics classes in college, but all I did was memorize a few equations and pattern-match them to problem in the exams. I remember nothing.

I could go the traditional route and work through standard Physics books, e.g. something like the Feynman lectures. But if I want to arrive at modern Physics, is it even a good idea to spend many months working through "Newtonian" stuff that may not be relevant? How much of the standard Physics curriculum (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, etc) is a prerequisite for understanding modern Physics? You can see I'm quite clueless.

How do I best go about this? Do you have any resource you would recommend?

EDIT: I took a look at SICM [0] because it has a CS angle which I thought may help, but it's above my level. I don't understand what many of the Physics terms means and I don't have the intuition to follow the explanations.

Just to be clear, btw, the analysis I did was very intentionally done around cops who themselves had used BWC recently, mostly within 24. You can review the data, charts and methodologies here:

Some of the descriptions are incomplete, but the charts address your point.

Also, you still haven't shown any information about why you believe the non-use of BWC is rare, so I'm going to assume you hold some deep biases that have prevented you from sharing those.

You can have both of best worlds using BLUF: bottom line up front. I didn't read the code because it's too early to debug someone else's code, but here's an example:

These endpoints break REST conventions and will be harder to understand and maintain.

The convention is that GET /resources will list them, and POST /resources will create anew one. You can also use a path parameter to identify a resource you want to find with GET /resources/<id> or delete with DELETE /resources/<id>.

I find it useful for two reasons:

- maybe you parse the first paragraph and you have enough context to act, so you skip the second

- or you parse the first paragraph and form the big picture in your mind, and that will make it easier to dive into the details
