This is so sad but true. In my experience, most doctors learn approximately nothing after graduating medical school. The miracle of AI will be that it will replace these useless people.

What makes you think people are “miserable?” East Asia has the lowest percentage of people who say they desire to emigrate elsewhere out of anywhere in the world: https://news.gallup.com/poll/468218/nearly-900-million-world.... Just 4%, versus 15% in North America.

If there are differences in outcomes between demographic groups some groups, like the SCOTUS, assume malice unless proven otherwise. See disparate impact or Griggs vs. Duke Power. Obviously the writers of the MCAT worked very hard to ensure Asians would get higher scores than any other group on them. The US is a country built in Asian supremacy.
I hate that this shift is being driven almost entirely by profit motives, but I also wonder if this is such a bad thing. I love my doctor; she's been my doctor for 25 years. However, I sometimes wonder what real value she provides. All she ever does is send me to a specialist. Couldn't a PA or NP do the same thing?
No, this is about solving problems ... that is, getting correct solutions.

Glad to see some support for this unpopular take.

Being particular with my words here: women are way more dangerous than men. Men are just more conspicuously violent.

Of the Bad Girls, the stats never reflect the ones who coerce or bully others into suicide over an extended period of time. The trouble they go to in order to completely dismantle others' social networks, start smear campaigns and discredit others. They build trust through mimicry and infiltrate social circles for later exploitation. They use proxies, gossip and misattribution to collect and act on intelligence, sometimes years after the fact. They'll piece together false damsel-in-distress stories based on fragments of others' domestic violence accounts. When confronted, it's histrionics and misdirection. This degree of spycraft starts at puberty, and they spend the rest of their development refining their technique to better cover their tracks. Usually, they stop short of killing others outright, but perhaps abuse pushes them over that line. All of this (and poisoning) is a way to render others vulnerable and torture them, sometimes to suicide, other times to "accidental" or incidental death.

There's also the lies. I can always see through men, but fuck me I hate interviewing women. They do not break even when I can prove they're lying. Men will get psychotically defensive, but women will play offense with diversionary tactics intended to turn pursuers against each other.

It's how the few of them that go bad rack up these insane kill counts with Munchausen-by-proxy campaigns. It's the same with fraud too. Men get greedy and embezzle millions at once; women will drain an account so slowly over so much time, the statute of limitations will have expired for most of it. They operate in plain sight because men don't think they're even capable of villainy (probably Narcissism or some Oedipal hangup), but they'll leverage every predatory behavior in the animal kingdom against you if sufficiently motivated.

Anyone that beats their wife is a fool. Never antagonize a woman. They have it in them to be the deadliest of nature's creatures. No other organism (except prisoners) plays the long game so masterfully. They will deliver death unto you as a dish served cold, with a little extra seasoning, and with a smile.

It's not as if one additional atom added to a structure turns it from "unconscious" to "conscious".

There must be a sliding scale, where at some point, somehow, these structures exhibit tiny bits of consciousness. Think a patient under general anesthesia who is woken up ever so slightly.

As the systems become more complex, they become "more conscious". This would be similar to you being extremely groggy versus awake and fully alert.

That's what I mean by not binary on/off.

There is no sudden switch that gets flipped and then, bang, self-aware being.
That would still raise a lot of questions right? Who hired the babysitter and what kind of vetting did they do? How did the fire start, was it due to poor maintenance and who was responsible for that? Why did none of the automated fire safety equipment work and who manufactured and installed that? Etc etc. it’s pretty pointless to just blame one person in the chain and call it a day
if harmful/harmless were the real test, the government would ban alcohol. But that’s not the real reason. Just like drug laws everywhere, it’s more about controlling a certain demographic of the population (i.e. poor people)

The fact that people in singapore still equate marijuana use to “harmful” “mind altering” “bad drugs” becomes more and more ridiculous as it gets legalized elsewhere. We’ll see what happens with thailand. As if for some reason asians can’t be allowed marijuana while it’s fine for white people.
If we were serious about crimes against civilians, much certainly so but we all know this is just a big farce to make revenge look defensible

If a technical term has the effect of framing a specific viewpoint, then it's perhaps not a very good technical term. I'm not actually convinced that it is a technical term, but even if it is, that's ultimately just an argument from authority.
They say 8x power generation compared to the same panel on the ground, due to cloud etc...

But they have to expend the energy to put this in orbit, then use the panel to convert sunlight to electricity, then convert that to microwaves, beam that through the atmosphere, then convert that back into electricity.

There are losses at each step.

This smells like you're going to struggle to make a net power gain, let alone make a profit. But they're definitely smarter than me and I'm sure they've run the numbers.
So you choose ad hominem instead of discussing the point ?
I don't think there's a person I've asked who prefers the modern web over the way it was 10 years ago. All we've done is create a bunch of busywork that results in a cushion class of yes-men who are paid to protect the oligarchs from the peons they control. The specific kind of user you're talking about unfortunately includes these people.

If we stop navel-gazing at our salaries for a second, we should take a look at what developers who make a real difference do. I'm not talking about people who build stuff that leeches off consumer credit cards. I'm talking about TimBL, Matt Mullenweg, Bjarne Stroustrup, John Resig, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds. They do things on principle, on values, and are self-confident enough not to care about chasing status. They're people who look at a world full of problems and want to actually help by sharing their ideas.

Those people generally build open, self-hosted solutions. They want to empower people, freeing us from the modern versions of AT&T and IBM. They make stuff that can run on a Pi or an old Celeron. Their stuff is standards-compliant, open, clean, simple, and user-auditable, so that it can be trusted and contributed to.

React was developed by Facebook, an app that steals your own family members' valuable time. Angular was developed by Google, and app that drains your own wallet. If you want to emulate their outcomes, by all means use their technologies. If you want to make a difference in the world, observe those who are making a difference and emulate them.
> I noticed that, unlike with the other speakers, instead of the music sounding like it was playing louder, it became increasingly absorbing as it wrapped around my shoulders and hugged me. When playing a live concert track while closing my eyes, it got hard to tell that I wasn’t actually at a concert.

Our ears don't really 'hear' loud volumes. We hear low volume differently due to varying sensitivities at low levels. At high levels we're actually mapping distortion to our sense of 'loud'. Often car stereos blasting will be distorted on purpose for the sake of seeming louder. Some popular music even includes lots of intentional distortion to make it seem like you're in a club with a loud system.

I've always preferred low distortion and coloration. My litmus test, much like unconscious foot-tapping, is how long I will listen to music as foreground entertainment without doing anything else, not feel tired, and keep wanting to listen to more.

I grew up in a household of hifi heads to the point we didn't buy a house for a very long time because of an expensive stereo hobby. Eventually both my father and sister each started their own (somewhat competing) hifi brands. I never got quite as caught up in it, though I always appreciated it and never liked listening to bad systems elsewhere. These days it's fairly easy to get very good in-ear monitors and a good DAC/headphone amp that will get you there for not too much money. I even enjoy the Foxtex RP-series planar-magnetic headphones which are only ~200 on my LG G8 phone with low noise quad-DAC.
LastPass got taken down because they allowed a developer to work remote from their home on their own personal PC. That PC had an unpatched vulnerability within the version of Plex that the user was running.

Some hackers got into their machine on a basic hack, and then hung around long enough to poke around and find the Plex vulnerability.

They were able to inject their own code into the vulnerable Plex, and then ran a basic keylogger in the background without their knowing.

At that point, they watched the user type in their LastPass admin credentials, and at that point they had the keys to the kingdom because LastPass didn’t have better auth protection.

Many layers of the onion failed here which added up to a Swiss cheese effect. The hacks were very elementary, and nothing compared to something like Stuxnet or the NSO hacks.

It sounds like the IPD adjustment or the lens doesn’t agree with your eyes. That was actually my very first experience with the HTC Vive pro. I would get headaches and nausea within 15 min. I was only able to fix it with hardware mods which had some trade offs. Unfortunately, I am not aware of hardware fixes for any other models

The good news is that the new generation of VR headsets starting with the quest pro and Apple reality should fix your problem. The quest 3 might fix it too if it has better IPD config. The downside is that they are a lot more expensive than the entry level quest 2 with prices from two years ago
So what exactly needs to be built with individual atoms to make something become self-aware?

I highly doubt that this has to do specifically with the structure of the brain. While I believe that animals such as dogs, lions, etc are conscious, and they have brains, they are not all exactly the same.

So there is something more to it than that.

That's why I'm curious if machines can be conscious. We need to determine what that "thing" is, that arrangement or information density or electrical activity or whatever it is that causes it to arise. Then we would know whether it is possible outside of the physical structure of a brain.

I actually asked this to one of the AI systems the other day. I found its answer interesting:

> I think that consciousness is not a property of matter, but a property of information. I think that consciousness is the result of a complex and dynamic process of information processing, representation, and communication. I think that consciousness is a spectrum, not a threshold. I think that consciousness is not a quality, but a quantity.
Physician lobbies are notorious for not actually aligning with physicians' interests and, rather, being in the pockets of the hospital industry. The AMA is the worst for this. Most physicians feel that they do not have a voice anymore.
I'm not sure how they could have assisted with anything, they basically have no medical supplies[1][2][3][4]. And before you bring it up, no medical supplies aren't covered by the embargo, they get a special exemption since the 90s.

On topic - I think if someone put up a Nazi statue in the neighborhood, the community’s response would be a little more direct. The homeowner might be too busy repainting his brickwork and replacing all the windows to try putting up the statue a second time.
Interesting. Makes me think whether REM (as there is a lot of brain activity in that stage) evolved as something that would make our memories stronger perhaps?

Which reminds me of an old "good news/bad news" joke:

An indian chief called his tribe together for an urgent meeting:

Chief: "Winter's coming early and our hunting has not been good. I have both bad news and good news. Which do you want to hear first?

Voice in the Tribe: "Give us the bad news, Chief; then the good news will cheer us up!"

Chief: "The winter will be long and harsh. Because we have so little meat we will have to eat buffalo dung to survive."

Voice in the Tribe: "That's pretty bad, Chief! What's the good news?

Chief: "We have lots of buffalo dung!"
A statistic showing a lack of desire to emigrate can't be equated to a happiness rating, given how political belief and other biases can be equal or greater factors.

You would replace the Fastly CDN with Storj, correct? Your link mentions 1500TB of Fastly traffic, which would cost $12k with Storj. Not sure if this is related to parent's 3TB/day number, but I went with that when I estimated the $8k.

I think the best cloud solution might be something like Storj + Fastly or Cloudflare end-to-end. But I'm really curious how much could be chopped off if you tried to solve this on-prem.

It's possible to bring something like `ccache` into your system's Nix sandbox. However, that change in the sandbox means all your packages have different hashes and you lose the ability to pull from upstream caches. The result would be rebuilding every single package when trying to update your system. Not a fun time.

The preferred way to do this is to override `stdenv` with `ccacheStdenv` on the individual packages that would actually benefit from the compile-time caching. Such as for large packages that you already have overrides for, or for nightly packages that get updated extremely frequently and don't have the chance to be cached upstream (such as firefox-nightly). The NixOS Wiki has a pretty good article on this: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/CCache

I personally use this for any packages I override in an overlay to reduce build times significantly.
and this is the first flare of it for you?

The word "induction" frames a very specific viewpoint for a mathematician that's different from the specific viewpoint of an electrician. Your argument falls apart if you consider that people can have different viewpoints.

No, the paper framed the issue as if such distinction exists. I didn’t agree with that and I don’t see why you would accuse me of that.

> that the east does things a little differently

Give the history a look and you'll know why.

Unlike in Europe where people choose to unite and live largely peacefully after many conflicts (2 world wars got people fed up especially quickly), Asian countries landed themselves in a different situation, and reasonably suspicious towards "outsiders". What makes things even worse is that due to how many of these countries are governed (dictatorships, monarchies, monoparties and fake democracies), the recent movement of globalization is less effective in terms of bringing enough benefits to their citizens to allow them to brainwash their old world views out of their head voluntarily.

Plus, many of these Asian countries don't have enough market ability to support the development of such Internet product domestically. As a result, if you just fully open up your Internet, the majority of the benefit from the action will then be absorbed by some companies located half an earth away while continue to deplete the market demand for homegrown alternatives. This is the situation where when you fully obey the international treaties, you lose.

So, all and all, it's not "the east (just) does things a little differently" ("argh, these uncivilized barbarians" probably follows). Some delicate and sophisticated calculation is involved there.
