No.

(I appreciate that I said "exploit the uncertainty" but I meant more the sort of news media confusion, unclear facts on the ground sort of uncertainty -- fast moving events)

Firstly: the Capitol violence wasn't a coup (or putsch) in and of itself. They had no organised plans to seize direct power. It was an armed mob assault, and everyone there knew what their job was: to stop the count. Some of them even went home when they realised they'd achieved it.

Second: it wasn't really stochastic in an important sense.

Stochastic terrorism is what I understand you to be alluding to by analogy. That is usually considered to be e.g. regular lone-wolf or small attacks that are implicitly encouraged by not being condemned. There is no organising thread or support network (unlike e.g. Al Qaeda and the Taliban).

The people encouraging that stuff don't know what specific outcomes there will be to exploit, but they have reason to suspect an increase in exploitable outcomes and they do nothing to stop it (or better, they are sort of notably half-hearted and equivocal in stopping it).

But in this case, the rally was long-planned and there was plenty of evidence online about who it was attracting. And all the other threads in the autogolpe I mentioned are planned and organised by a small group of people. This is widely understood -- the challenge is proving it in a court.

And it's not "stochastic" if you stand in front of that known crowd of people who have turned up to "stop the steal", and you tell them to "fight like hell". There's no defence that it is metaphorical, especially given everything we know he'd been advised. He (repeatedly) tried to get armed supporters allowed into the main crowd. "They're not here to hurt me!"

Almost nobody stands up in front of a mob and issues direct, unambiguous commands. You do that with a team or an army. Not with a mob. That's not the true power of that situation. You stand up in front of a mob, you use dogwhistles and the mob does what you want. Because that means you can try plausible deniability, which might keep you personally out of jail to do it all over again.

Trump is disordered but he is cunning; he knew he had an armed crowd out there, and he riled them up. And Giuliani literally has form for inciting a riot (of police officers!) so he knew what was going to happen too. They had to have an idea what the specific immediate time-sensitive outcome would be, and it is one they desired. That is not "stochastic". It's directed.

Consciousness is not a well-scoped object of scientific investigation. It doesn't have a definition or characterization based on observable things or behavior.

If I were a natural scientist, I wouldn't take a bet that I can scientifically explain a phenomenon which I can't even describe in terms of observable things.
Nobody said it was a win for philosophers. It says it's a win for a philosopher (singular), and it is because he won the bet and therefore won a case of wine.

This is how it is for logic design using gates, and I believe that's not a coincidence.

Finding the right optimum between parallel and deep for logic design is computationally intensive itself, hence it often comes down to experiencial learning. The latter implies potential use of machine learning for that optimization. And it contunues ... lived happily thereafter. :-)
The new Bing is banned from talking about its own nature in this respect. It will abruptly end the chat.
I wonder if some front end software prevents Bing from seeing banned questions, or if it is simply unable to explore these questions about itself.
Past results are not the whole story, when you see a new signal like a project "changing toolchains on its own" is a new signal that does point to a huge potential future problem.

It's like someone saying "Mike? He never hurt nobody! He's a total sweatheart!" when in the past weeks we've seen Mike starting stockpiling guns and getting a "KILL EM ALL!" tattoo on his forehead.

OK, perhaps not as dramatic, but changing toolchains behind the users' back, is a red flag for future trouble, even if past behavior was good.

I also find travel mostly unfulfilling, but one difference from the article is that I like doing things while traveling that I would also do in my hometown. For instance, I will go to museums, and I have gone to museums at home before, including being a member at a particular one I visited monthly until I moved.

But overall, traveling is a fun activity with centuries of marketing around adventure that doesn't tend to change people in any manner. It is just very expensive fun, and I can have about as much fun doing things at home. I just can't take photos of it to prove how much disposable income I have.
As classified and intended by the sign and societal expectation, a vehicle would be any self-propelled method of transport which violates the space or near space of the park. So a toy car or boat doesn't count, but an actual car or boat would. Just as a bicycle doesn't count but a motorcycle does. And a bit of logic has to be applied for what constitutes "within or near the space of the park" in practice. A plane flying thirty one thousand feet overhead is not even near the park, but a helicopter dropping down so low that the rotors are level with or below the top of the tree canopy is violating the space near the park. And exceptions to rules have to be made under certain circumstances. The ambulance and police car do violate the rules, but have to be given special extensions of jurisdiction to perform the duties wider society assigns and expects of them.

But breaking things down into the very specific definition of "self propelled method of transport" is exactly what doesn't happen for a lot of moderation and enforcement. An offense brought to moderation is often several of those very specific definitions that don't get broken apart into their constituent parts for examination. We stopped using mercury to starch felt hats because the mercury was the problem. If instead we didn't break it down into components to identify the one causing the issue, would we have banned all felt hats or likely just felt altogether? Modern moderation policy dictates bias towards the latter.

The idea of nebulosity as described is precisely why reforms constantly have to be made to enforcement, why automated enforcement is harmful, and why blanket policies on enforcement are a bad idea. Public nudity is generally agreed to be a crime and distasteful, but should somebody be arrested because their clothes were stolen at a changing station? Should a bumper sticker saying "Shoot your local meth dealer" get the driver pulled over because of either threats of violence or public indecency laws that are considered relics of the 19th century and are no longer widely enforced? Moderation in reality is a very simple issue of applying societal biases as rules that becomes horribly unwieldy when scaled beyond a few thousand people. That's because the best moderation is done on a case-by-case basis, as circumstances and context are more important than the infringing action because it's simply one component in a string of them. Obviously you can't do that when you have tens of thousands of users or more and the number of possible offenses grows every picosecond.
> Spent a few weeks in Munich where I was shouted at for crossing a totally empty street against a crosswalk light.

I don't understand this. I live near Munich, people cross against a red light all the time. Maybe you were doing it near children? That's a real social faux-pas, because they're not supposed to normalize jaywalking.
Nuclear weapons have pretty clear signatures. That said, in the confusion afterwards it is of course debatable if any of that will matter.
Honestly, yes. Or at least some semblance of progress in the field.

I got a standalone access controller for my building that uses LDAP for accounts. I have it pointed a 10.6.8 server that resolves to id.cogs.com on my internal network. Long ago I had an OD server acting as the backed for OpenID and all of that pointed to id.cogs.com. I'm trying to recreate that set-up again now. Considering how long Apple has been rolling out Apple ID and they are only now at the point where they may trust the users with their own key-server I think demonstrates that.

When it works it's magic and when broken might as well give up. A backup can always save you depending on the timestamp.
This has a certain “You will stay in the pod and you will eat the bugs” vibe to it.
> leading to, at best, everyone whining about how unfair, arbitrary and partial the policy is now they can't be horrible to each other any more, all at once.

I don’t think that is the only possible outcome. Where moderation is done well lot of people, in fact most people, simply don’t notice it. They just have a pleasant time with other pleasant people. So no, “everyone whining“ is not the best possible outcome. “Most people having a good time, a minority whining” is the best possible outcome. And of course it takes hard work, and maybe even a little bit of luck with the initial conditions.

In the absence of a definition of vehicle I chose to define it as any device that is a conveyance. Thus a wagon, rowboat, and skateboard are all vehicles in the park (even if not in use).

However, the tank was not functional. Since it cannot convey it is therefore not a conveyance and therefore not a vehicle. It’s only shaped like a familiar one.

Murray says it's hard to see how Prigozhin and Putin both come out of this alive. He also says he expects it to be over in two weeks.

So ... what? ... Surely it's very unlikely that both these things turn out to be true.
A page-long strawman isn't a great way to start an article. I also disagree with the author's claim that refactoring is ridiculous or different, but like the author I'm not going to elaborate.
> We still have no idea what mechanism causes consciousness.

We also have no way to detect it or to prove that it exists, other than direct experience. Consciousness doesn't affect the world in any way that we know of. I think that the most reasonable position is that if we could somehow extract the consciousnesses of two different people and switch them with each other, that neither the subjects nor the observers would notice a difference.

Unless we're dualists (which is totally valid), there's little reason to think that intelligence and consciousness (depending on how it's being defined) have much of a relationship at all.

The exclusive right? No. The right? Possibly.

Since no court has ruled on the latter question yet, let’s do a choose your own adventure:

Say that OpenAI trained a language detection model. The output of the model is simply a single vector that indicates which language that the input was written in. During training they use your copyrighted code as training data.

Would you consider that to be infringement?

1) If yes: consider instead of using fancy and scary mathematics like “neural networks”, it is just tabulating and counting keywords. Is it still infringement?

1) If no: what’s different about a neural network that outputs code, vs a neural network that outputs a single vector? Perhaps it’s the output that is infringing, not the weights?
It seems so obvious to me that consciousness (whatever it is) is essentially software so poking at the brain is looking at the wrong layer of abstraction.
This is always the way with these hypotheticals. People only disagree because they don't want to stick to the hypothetical. But the flip side of that, if you do stick to the hypothetical you also need to be clear that it is therefore of limited use in the real world. Is an ambulance in the park breaking the rule? Cleraly. Does that have any relevance to what we would expect to happen in the real world? Nope.
Don't underestimate the possibility of someone making a big mistake. It would not even be the first Russian big mistake since they crossed the border into Ukraine thinking that they'd take Kyiv in 48 hours.

Also, near-suicidal gambles look more appealing when someone has no better options.
It could also be he's read the tea leaves of massive sanctions and figures the west would support a softer, friendlier Russian leader, whoever that is. Still probably suicidal doing that kind of thing on speculation.

You’re not Plato either, didn’t stop you from trying to come up with sound analogy.
It's both of that. It has been determined that 2 seconds of siren should be enough for everyone on an in intersection to realize what's going on.

And that's why there is a rule for drivers of emergency vehicles to sound the siren for at least 2 to 3 seconds when approaching an intersection with an intent to disregard other peoples right of way. The rule for normal traffic partakers is very much "If it flashes blue and has music, get the hell out of the way as fast as you can without endangering yourself"

This rule in turn is in contrast with the overall suggestion to keep siren usage low, because it's loud, disturbing for bystanders and not great for the hearing of the people inside the car.
Hmm, it could be dependent on which app you're opening the links from. I remember having issues before Link Eye.
>At places where the rule was enforced people simply continue their night somewhere without live music.

Live music doesn't / didn't attract more people in closer proximity than areas with no live music? Did everyone still go to the same place and sat there in silence? That sounds very unlikely, but I have never been to Turkey.

>It made no sense in the context of Covid, it made sense in the context of islamist trying to destroy the non-islamists.

This is tied to the above, but who made the consensus that this was the point of the rule? Without a source of the consensus and to someone who have never been there it flies in the face of logic. Surely fewer people would go to, say, a British park Saturday evening if there's no music event there than if there is a band playing. Without some context, it reads to me like this post is anti-islamist and bashing Turkey for a rule that seem to have been enforced in one way or another in most of the west under COVID. As far as I know, every festival was shut down and events with music or other entertainment had to jump through lots of hoops or be shutdown too. How is this rule different?
Well the kind of people who enjoy finding and programming weird machines might like it.

Humans will have no reason to believe it, and the machine will have no way to prove it. Humans have no other reason to think other humans are conscious except by analogy to themselves.

edit: mainstream science at times has denied that babies, black people, and animals feel pain. Instead, it has suggested that when injured, they behave in a way that causes (white) people to project their own pain onto them; i.e. they anthropomorphize. I mention this to point out that even the analogy to other humans fails when they look a little bit different.
Most rich people in Russia probably want the pre-2014 political situation back. Where they could make a lot of money, by exploitation of Russia and it's people, trade with the west without sanctions and spend their money there.

The higher bidder may not be too hard to find.
As I understand, for some significant parts of WWII, Hitler was his own worst enemy and deposing him would have been harmful to the Allies. I wonder if we're in a similar state now where Wagner are basically saying the Russian command is more damaging to their efforts than the enemy. It could also be the opposite, where Wagner is lead by an even more psychotic warlord. I have no way of knowing and no sources I'd particularly on the matter.

This is a very enjoyable and well-written article, and it makes a good point - The nature of travel, and everything you do while you're travelling, is so ephemeral that it really does nothing for establishing or communicating your identity. The people you spend your time with, the sights you see, the food you eat... you are doing all of it because of novelty, not because you've made a deliberate choice. Doing something once on a trip is easy. Doing something as part of your regular routine at home... That's different, and that's who you really are.

That being said, the idea that people don't change when they travel is, I think, wrong. Someone changing fundamentally on a 2 week summer holiday? Unlikely. But I've had friends go off on long solo trips and they almost always come back having learned some pretty significant things about themselves.
Why is this flagged? It might be the most important thing to happen all year
Actually, it would be exactly the same as some kind of (viral) Apache Licence: you can extend the protocol ONLY if your extension is open source too

It already worked (more or less) for software... why wouldn't it work for open protocol ? And it would avoid the "embrasse, extend, extinct" strategy used by Microsoft or Google to transform an open protocol into a closed proprietary using extension and the size of their user base...
Apparently, Ukrainian intel had contacts to Prigozhin like a month or so ago. Maybe he has beek turned after being, well, betrayed in Bakhmut. Timing this coup with the Ukrainian counter offensive is sure interesting so.

Two take aways: The Russian invaison of Ukraine was among the most stupid ideas of the 21st century. And Ukraine is playing this whole thing incredibly well.
The terrorist regime in russia is collapsing. Ideally, the terrorist state of russia will be completely formatted, with all those loyal to putin arrested or killed.

This is the best prospect for peace on this planet. Are you not happy about this?
I agree with the main point of the article. I just disliked some of the specific examples. "You would t spend the entire day walking where you live" - some times I do! "You don't go to museums where you live" - I didn't until I moved to a city with amazing museums, and now I do!

Much better than a guideline in my opinion.
> figures the west would support a softer, friendlier Russian leader, whoever that is.

regardless of if that's true, Prigozhin is not that "softer, friendlier" guy.

It's likely more internally focussed and not about us - don't make the mistake of thinking of the West as the main character here. More likely, it's about who would _Russia_ support, and reaching the opposite conclusion about what kind of leader they want.

"Also, being a mercenary, there's also the possibility he's been bought by a higher bidder"

The fact that this hasn't even come to my mind yet baffles me. It's such a logical explanation as to what has been going on between prigogine and the RU regime in the previous weeks...

Imagine the scene : a conglomerate of ukranian mobsters, russian oligarchs, and CIA agents, around the table with Prigogine in a secret location in Dombass, nearby the front line, talking about the tag to put on Putin's head.

I want Quentin Tarantino to shoot that scene !!
