> In the US, the vast majority of Americans want to own a single family home, not a condo or apartment

IMO there's 2 points to consider regarding this though:

One can't underestimate the fact it's illegal to build densely in a lot of the USA [1], so it isn't only preferences driving the market. Even if most people prefer single-family homes, and 50% want them to be "away from it all", there's reason to believe that the population that does want to live densely isn't being met with enough supply, and thus prices are still being artificially increased.

In terms of the high preference for low density, there's the unfortunate reality that the density is better in a dense context, but that's not something many people in the USA can experience. In New York, for example, ubiquitous density has meant one can live a convenient life without owning a car. An apartment in LA has all the disadvantages of an apartment, without the advantages of a dense city. That's the perception many people who do experience apartment living might have of it.

So overall, low density in the USA isn't purely preference-driven, and there's an argument to believe if more density _were_ built, preferences would change. It's worth keeping in mind.

Can you have consciousness without symbolic references to emotional states?

"I am hungry, I am thirsty, my battery pack needs recharging or I will die soon.."

It's true that wild animals communicate their internal states to others via various cues and this goes up and down the whole complexity spectrum, from ants signalling distress due to attack by other ants, up to humans sending messages to other humans in times of war... but 'consciousness' seems to imply the ability to constuct a symbolic line of communication in fairly great detail.

Here's a definition of conscious communication, perhaps at the early limit: "Here is a seed, that I took from a fruit. If you plant this seed, it will grow into a tree, from which you can harvest more fruit."

As far as I know, only humans have figured out how to transmit that degree of informatoin to others of their species, right? So we define something like that as a (fairly arbitrary) definition of 'consciousness'.
Yeah, it is pretty neat & lightweight considering nothing else has better out of the box experience to use.
More browsers need to make "tab categories" available. It really helps to organize your tab clutter by topic.
This, and it kind of bothers me that that is my first thought on the internet these days. I get enough unsolicited mail/phone calls from recruiters as it is.
I did.

I used the book How to Design Programs to learn programming in a clean and functional way. I had to find the textbook that clicked for me.
This usage aligns with using scientific principles for "building" anything: a sports team, a company.

It also matters what "scientific principles" we are talking about.

In software its more philosophy rather than hard facts. Otherwise you would not have eternal debates about Object oriented versus Functional programming, to name but one example.

The link with the physical world makes true engineering disciplines more objective.
When Is the Best Time to Ask for a Customer Review?
Right. And what will understanding consciousness even accomplish? I don't think we are really interested in consciousness but in happiness; consciousness is just a fancy term for thing we cannot ever explain. 5 minutes of silence/meditation everyday will teach you more about consciousness then all articles you will ever read.
> And meanwhile, more and more USFF PCs will roll out into second hand markets, which offer a much more compelling option than the Pi

Let's hope so!

I wouldn't mind it if the Pi hardware ended a bit like OLPC - a dead end that nonetheless stimulated the mainstream market.

But I'd kind of like to see Raspberry Pi OS survive and continue running on many compatible, affordable, and actually available alternatives.

All Quiet on the Cyber Front? Explaining Russia’s Limited Cyber Effects

I am going to state a somewhat unpopular opinion, Kubernetes in their current form are just short from unusable in complex production environment. In order to run a full Kubernetes stack, you need to get a multitude of components running, each with own name with unknown effects on the underlying system.

I have experiences with two forms of deployment: one was an on-prem installation two years ago, on which one of the 13 Java 8 applications had very large latencies when accessing Oracle DB, otherwise working fine when it was deployed on simple VM. All of those applications had been done with the same DB logic, and we couldn't find the issue on our own, so we asked third-party to debug this issue for us: they couldn't pin point the problem, even with commercial tools. Their answer was just, something is off with your Kubernetes installation and that was it.

My second, on-going experience, is my current assignment with Fortune 500 company, that uses GKE for running hundreds of nodes, after migrating from on-prem VMs. Almost every other week (99% reliability - yeah right), some part of the system just dies and leaves services unreachable or unresponsive. There is a continuous effort to solve this issues and even Google support was contacted with the answer boiling down to: shit happens, deal with it. The only solution in those situations is either to have alarms go off so that Ops can restart something, or just to wait until everything comes back up again on its own.

The whole ecosystem was a good idea that lacks proper tool and stability to provide substantial benefits over the bunch of VMs, IMO.

What the airline industry has done is amazing. Had they fixed the seats in place so they could not move at all people would be directing their ire at the airlines for the cramped conditions. Instead, they let you recline your seat one inch and, incredibly, passengers are angry at each other rather than the airlines. It is stunning, the industry created an issue and then found a way to make passengers blame each other rather than the airline.

I don't know if there is a name for this tactic but there should be if there is not.
Thanks ChatGPT for correcting my speech. But, I kind of wonder, what is wrong about this suggestion? Do you consider suggesting to ask the experts in a particular field as dismissive?

Why should it not? You’re literally breaking the content.

Vertical tabs without nesting (trees) is such a wasted opportunity. Nesting lets you close/minimise/etc a group of a related tabs, eg. all the search results you opened from a single query. I hope Brave's implementation at least lets you switch tabs using the mouse wheel, which is probably my favorite feature of the Firefox vertical tabs addons.

BTW, I was a TST user for many years, and recently switched to Sidebery, which seems to do the same and more, but is a bit more polished.

Did you feel that contacting from an HN thread gave you an edge over other candidates? Or a fast track through the interview phase?
It's, like, all in our heads, man!

But to add a little more substance - your theory is something we all learn is probably false at around two-three weeks after birth if I remember correctly. Somewhere around that time we discover object permanence, and start understanding that the rest of the world keeps existing even when we're not aware of it: it's all a real thing, not a product of our consciousness.

It's especially strange to put consciousness in charge of creating the whole world when it isn't even involved in half the stuff happening in our own bodies.

This means that our conscious experience (qualia) are the result of physical processes. Well then, what makes brains so special? Can other complex systems have qualia? Do they even have to be complex - how about a sliding scale of consciousness?

Personally I think it would be strange for the universe to have "neural chauvinism" or some sort of complexity threshold. More likely, qualia are somehow innate and pervasive in the universe. I believe the saying goes: pure physicalism necessitates panpsychism.
Depends on the binary. Compiling to the lowest common denominator is one strategy. The other is to to have the code detect what's available and only use that subset.

Ugh, I just realized that accusing people who disagree with you of being ChatGPT is going to be a thing now.

Even more important than learning how to vectorize is learning the basics of computer architecture: register, caches, pipelining, branch prediction, and superscalar execution.

One of the common interview questions I ask is computing the sum of an array of doubles. Barely 1% of applicants can even get the basics correctly such as having multiple partial sums.

Once you do the work such that your code actually allows execution to happen in parallel, then leveraging superscalar and simd happens automatically.

>Is there a reason America doesn't follow the rest of the world and ...

It's completely impossible, and this is why (the "follow the rest of the world" part). America simply cannot follow the rest of the world. If America doesn't invent something first, and someone else does it first, America *will not* adopt it, ever, no matter how much sense it makes.

What this makes me think is that consciousness is the non-autonomous part of our experience.

I'll double the sample size. I've both posted a few times and replied to ads.
