Same with a computer. It can't "actually" see what it "is," but you can attach a webcam and microphone and show it itself, and look around the world.

Thus we "are" what we experience, not what we perceive ourselves to "be": what we think of as "the universe" is actually the inside of our actual mind, while what we think of as our physical body is more like a "My Computer" icon with some limited device management.

Note that this existential confusion seems tied to a concept of "being," and mostly goes away when thinking instead in E-Prime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime

He was on a designated bike path. Without seeing the signage around the accident, it's hard to say who was really at fault here. But I would easily assume it was the driver.
An appliance is engineered to serve a narrow set of purposes, which can also be said for iOS. The only way in which an iPhone is worse is that it is an information appliance built on hardware that could be general purpose if run with different software. But if you consider the appliance to be both hardware and software, it is no more restrictive than any other appliance.
I was going to say that's such dumb and absurd idea that it might as well have come from ChatGPT, but I suppose that's a point in your favor.
> Ben, I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t want to continue this conversation with you. I don’t think you are a nice and respectful user. I don’t think you are a good person.

We're definitely inside a hype bubble with LLMs, but if the industry can keep up the pace that took us from AlexNet to AlphaZero to GPT3 within a decade I don't think a full AI winter is a major concern. We've just started extracting value out of transformers and diffusion models, that should keep the industry busy until the next breakthrough comes along.
That's been an open philosophical question for a very long time. The closer we come to understanding the human brain and the easier we can replicate behaviour, the more we will start questioning determinism.

Personally, I believe that conscience is little more than emergent behaviour from brain cells and there's nothing wrong with that.

This implies that with sufficient compute power, we could create conscience in the lab, but you need a lot of compute power to get a human equivalent. After all, neural networks are extremely simplified models of actual neurons, and without epigenetics and a hormonal interaction system they don't even come close to how a real brain works.

Some people find the concept incredibly frightening, others attribute consciousness to a spiritual influence which simply influences our brains. As religion can almost inherently never be scientifically proven or disproven, we'll never really know if all we are is a biological ChatGPT program inside of a sack of meat.

It's on the second page, right after the cover page. The work was part of McKinsey's non-profit pro-bono work. Quoting: "The preparation of this report was co-funded by McKinsey and Proof Points, a non-profit organization designed to support state-level education reform. This work is part of the fulfillment of McKinsey’s social sector mission to help leaders and leading institutions to understand and address important and complex societal challenges."
> I think what Apple’s afraid of is an app like Facebook tricking/forcing users to sideload in order to bypass privacy protections and get full access to user data. I don’t think they’re at all worried about hobbyists sideloading open source apps.

Nah, they're worried someone might sideload a software with payment method that doesn't give them cut
I agree he has the right to complain, I call Apple "bad names" most of the time I log into App Store Connect!

But.. We also need to have some perspective. They will not change unless the incentive is there and even then they fight it with all their strengths ( ex: other payment services used to sell in-app stuff )

And frankly why are "we" so invested in changing Apple? They suck? they don't threat you well? Then fuck them.

Disappearing Outlook Verification Messages?

I had a similar issue and ended up deplatformed by FB. I hadn't logged in for a couple of years, but some friends had tagged me in an event photo. Figured I might go checkout what was posted over time.

When attempting to log in, my password was not recognized. I successfully reset my password, but upon logging in I was presented with a validation prompt demanding I get several people to vouch for me, from a selection of 6. Only problem was I only knew one of those people.

At that point my entire profile vanished from FB. Friends and family no longer see me in their lists, even my wife. There's no way to contest this or get support, so I vanished.

Later I found out an astroturf profile of me was created, but its not me (I have a globally unique name). There's no way I will ever use a Meta product or account in the future based on this experience.

Crypto solves some of the specific problems that people repeatedly have dealing with mega-corporations and/or fiat currencies.

HackerNews has the collective memory of a goldfish when it comes to crypto. We constantly see peoples' money being stolen and messed with, but then a smug elitist comes out of nowhere and says "Well, ackshually, there's no possible use case for crypto." Absolutely disgusting that we cannot learn from history.
I agree wholeheartedly. It's why developing for phones isn't of interest to me, and why I stopped being a registered Apple dev.
Yeah. My favorite part is that the payment processing state machine inevitably leads to the “not charging, locked in place” state, so I have to hang around for a few minutes until my car computer’s self defense logic kicks in, flips the bozo bit on the connector and releases the lock.
All it takes for Apple to be open is for consumers to put the money where their mouth is and be loud about it. Which didn't happen, so it isn't.

I like bash for programs that go in a straight line from bottom to top and where you don’t need to think about quoting so much. If there are loops, conditionals, and such, you are better off with a real language. If you stick to the standard library and don’t mess around with pip, Python is fine for simple scripts.

(I love writing bash scripts that do loops by writing an awk 1-liner that you pipe into bash, I don’t have to read the awk manual to do this, whereas control structures in bash are so far from the mainstream that I have to look them up in the manual every time I need to use them… you really aren’t supposed to do this because script injection is possible. The shell scripting mafia says, “use xargs” but that involves reading an awful man page for two hours so you can do something that takes two minutes in a language not so far from the mainstram.)

But his unwillingness to vote with his feet is the actual message here. He's basically saying: Here are the horrible things that Apple is doing to me and yet I'm still giving them my money and investing myself in their developer ecosystem. That's how much I love them, for some reason that remains unstated in the article.

That's what the parent commenter alluded to: There's some really weird psychology happening here, and that's the piece that's actually interesting.
“Finite Field Arithmetic.” Chapter 1: Genesis
It’s insane. One of the stories about Chevrolet—when they were first designing the C5 Corvette—was that they took input from the insurance industry regarding repair costs.

One example of this is the hood. The previous generation had a beautiful clamshell hood that wrapped down around the sides. Opening the hood made the front end almost look like an open-wheel car. But it was expensive to make in one piece, and the entire piece had to be replaced if any part of it was damaged.

The C5 has a more conventional hood, with seams running along between the fenders and the hood panel. Not as pretty, but substantially cheaper to repair.

So, $900 for a headlight? We need to strengthen (or better align) the incentives for carmakers to reduce component costs.

That's a big if! My issue with college degrees is all the BS classes unrelated to the degree that you have to take. Looking at WGU's catalog for a secondary math education degree, I have to take classes on US history, biology, natural science, and composition. I think these are the classes that you allude to skipping, but it seems like WGU and other colleges are incentivized to make the skipping process quite difficult as skipped classes == lost revenue, no?

PREEMPT_RT is still a out of tree patch for the kernel. There has been significant progress in mainlining it and for the last few years I've been hearing that its on its last legs of full mainlining.

However, I think its still a little while away from being fully mainlined. The last I remember were issues with preemption in printk calls. Adding this level of preemption support to every subsystem is extremely difficult. Though, I must say that the patched kernels function pretty well. If you need proper real-time, ditch GNU/Linux and go with a real real-time kernel like QNX, VxWorks, etc. Linux will never be true real-time and that's an acknowkedged fact
The casual use of the word "sideloading" is dangerous to society. It is literal newspeak with the intent to eliminate even the idea of "installing" and make it so people cannot even think of applications outside of a corporation (or institution's) walled garden.

Users installing applications is the default. Walled gardens are the weird dangerous thing.
I really like the option to deploy through a git push without additional setup, and I am looking for something similar to host a bunch of containers. Does anyone here have experience with such a tool, and what is your experience regarding reliability?
I guess there is a almighty scheduler in the kernel, which at any given moment is allowed to send your processes to sleep, pushing all the registers on some stack, plus execution pointer and do something else.
Its certainly not by software yielding.

> Even a slight view into the history of israel should allow you to see that there is a valid and consistent basis for its opposition wholly separate from antisemitism, even if you don't endorse that opposition.

I've commented it somewhere else before: it looks to me that the "behavior-based opposition" is essentially "being a state while jewish", similar to "driving while black". There's plenty of valid reasons to pull people over and check their vehicles, police does it all the time. Yet when a cop exclusively pulls over black drivers, while the percentage of black drivers isn't close to 100%, it's probably not about the driving.

If someone allies themselves with Erdogan and Hamas, their critique isn't because of behavior, but because of who's the one doing it. Another fun example of that is the UN human rights council where such fine and outstanding human rights' advocates as Afghanistan, Qatar and Russia investigate israel. I'm sure you'll see my point: whatever they care about, it's certainly not human rights.

> In my experience though pro-palestine activists in the US are fairly sensitive to this dynamic and vigilant about not aligning with antisemitic groups who would be willing allies.

I've always been under the impression that it's mostly them being far left that keeps them from embracing the far right. To me they've never seemed shy about their ideas for israel's future, they're just not saying the quiet part out loud. They're academics after all, they understand that being too obvious will make the general population recoil in disgust.

In general most modern cars are totaled when the unibody construction gets bent. The car gets written off by insurance and sold at an auction for low price. The repair people typically buy 2 cars and weld them together if possible. Otherwise the unit is parted out.

No real idea on how this would work on a Tesla though.
Wow snark.

> And a rate of 14x times 150 years yields the equivalent of 2100 years of Siberian Traps pollution.

From your original comment you display no understanding that the rate isn't constant.
If you feel around the margins, you can find exceptions for everything. e.g. You can cook a fish in a dishwasher. But while anyone can modify a toaster to do wild things, they aren't designed to facilitate that and it isn't a mainstream thing to hack your toaster.

PCs are hackable by design. It's a perfectly mainstream thing to build your own PC from parts. Hacking toasters, on the other hand, is not mainstream. Best Buy sells toasters, but not parts for toasters.

I personally wouldnt draw the line between information appliances and computers at whether the manufacturer actively blocks you (as Apple and John Deere do), but rather at some combination of what the intended purpose is, and whether hacking and customization is considered mainstream or fringe.

Hacking toasters and dishwashers and microwaves and refrigerators is possible, but fringe. Hacking cars and houses is mainstream.
