I’m saying that many scientists would fundamentally disagree with you. I’m aware of the position that “science has explained” these things, but tend to agree with the response that this is a position with no foundation.

> I don't think there is any fundamental mystery here except the hard problem of consciousness

That’s an astronomically large mystery that is the cornerstone of our understanding of existence. It’s the context through which any of this matters.

e.g. if we’re brains in vats, all we’ve proven is that we’ve gotten really good at introspecting the simulation. This would obviously recontextualize everything we’ve discovered. I’m not saying I believe this hypotheses, but am pointing to the fact that the implications of understanding consciousness itself are enormous.

The hard problem of consciousness can’t just be swept under the rug because we have no answers. And that’s all I’m really getting at. We should acknowledge the degree to which we do not and currently cannot explain base reality.

I’m curious why you believe that understanding is somehow not intrinsically tied to consciousness, thereby making it just as mysterious as consciousness itself. It could be that we’re using different definitions.

The scientific method is predicated on a kind of pre-existing intuition about the validity of the methods and findings of science. Whatever science is, our brains seem intrinsically capable of navigating towards better and better approximations of reality. And consciousness seems to be critical to the process.

The Kelly criterion: How to size bets (2019)
You’re told when you buy a ticket to prepare for this sort of event - it’s happened before. So anyone who’s actually on their shit will have enough food, water, etc to wait for it to dry out and leave normally. They even explicitly advise bringing a bucket to turn into a makeshift toilet if something like this happens and shuts down the porta potties.

That said, I’d bet a sizable fraction of the attendees are completely unprepared or dependent on others to get them ready. Probably people will share extra supplies with them. Maybe this entire event will expose just how commercialized it’s gotten.
Not even just playoffs either, I think his rank in that three year RAPM range was fourth or something staggering, after Curry, Lebron, and I think Kawhi? My go-to RAPM site that did all the calculations was taken down so can’t currently cite the numbers
At BRC now. It sucks. Everything is flooded. The man is not going to burn. There are 2 more days of rain forecasted. My guess is Wednesday when driving will be possible.
I'm not sure how this is accessible, the drive-shaft is entirely customly designed and customly built to handle the torque. That's not even mentioning the 3D design software and laser cutting for the motor mount. This feels simple because he already has everything planned very well and it's a year long endeavour compactified into short youtube videos.
I'd throw some thin non-iron fabric on this to prevent scratches and dus settling when the furniture is in use that you can just toss into the washer-dryer when it gets dirty.
At the place I go, they make everything in a metal container and then pour it into my thermos on the counter. It's up to me to handle the lid.

Also not to get too deep into the weeds on environmentalism but you all know the line reduce/reuse/recycle? the two first Rs it seems like we as a society have decided to just overlook. I've been using the same thermos for 10 years and I guarantee that in terms of footprint my thermos is doing better than literally any disposable solution you can come up with. People are wasting SO MUCH material, time, and money trying to sustain disposability when a real solution is on the shelf at every retailer right now ready to go.
It rained a lot in e.g. 2014 but it was just before and at the start of the event. I don't think there was a time there was anywhere near 73k people already inside unable to leave expecting a couple of days of rain to come right when everyone was planned to head home. At best outlook, this is going to be one of the worst events to have gone to. I don't think it'll be a disaster but I would say it's extraordinary.
If you try to learn programming in any other language, there is always a mountain of syntax to learn. An undergraduate course in programming basically introduces one new syntax (conditional, for loops, while loops, functions...) and the concepts associated with it every week.

SICP has an extremely short description of syntax at the start, and how it is parsed. The rest of the book is about the structure and interpretation of computer programs. You just build structure by building abstraction after abstraction using the same basic syntax for everything. You interpret by referring to the parsing order. The language fades into the background - at no point are you referring to your syntax cheatsheet, it is all the same.

Instead you think about how to reason. And how to transform that reasoning into structured programs.

As of today I can send you a pull request through HN, even.

Hey, I fixed some typos, you can pull from `https://example.com/repo.git`, branch `typos`. Cheers!

There, done. I just made a pull request. Now you can just:

git pull https://example.com/repo.git typos

Sure, a web-based interface for code review (like what GitHub has) is a nice addition on top of pull requests, especially for back and forth conversation[1].

The code review part doesn't necessarily need to be web stuff. It also doesn't need to be email patches, because just because it's not web doesn't mean it has to be email. Hopefully these ActivityPub initiatives make it more obvious that this is a false dichotomy, and that pull requests and code review are different things.

Like, for example, maybe my repo is hosted in a cgit instance, but I can review (and respond to) your suggested changes from nvim, and you receive the comments through ActivityPub. Just because I don't publicly display code review comments on my website doesn't mean you can't use Forgejo on your side as usual.

[1]: Though you can leave inline comments in your repo's branch, and I can read them with `git diff` on my side, fix them, do another push, and then you'll see the fixes when you do your next pull.
In Europe firing people is not always straightforward.

There are so many people doing jackshit which make me go insane.
I guess, good for them and I'm glad I'm not a shareholder.

Management handle the most blatant cases in 6 months.
There are so many people who are not completely clueless at pretending to do something and they go undetected for their entire career.

From previous experiences, in a US startup they would be fired in 2 weeks.

The main reason to snub the Grand Canyon is that it's been very well explored, not that it's had photographs taken of it.

So, although I'm willing to snub Olympus Mons a little bit if we really have such good photos of it (I don't think we do), since that does reduce the scope of the unkown. But I would still think there's much adventure to be had there as one of the first people to explore it.

My 6s was supported for seven years or more. While what you say is true, it seems a bit overstated. When an individual is motivated, they will find one cheap if not free.
It's really only a couple of hours by car or truck, on well paved streets. Gerlach is the small town on the edge of the park, they have at least places to stage rescue/supply events.
Rain like this is rare buts it’s shut down exit like this before, this isn’t unprecedented. Even during a normal year they shut down entry/exit when sandstorms reduce visibility - often for a couple of hours every few days.
It was called a “visual derivative”.

Sounds like he is a very particular type of developer focused precisely on enabling teams in this manner.

also, I can just post the obvious here but: he may be doing work but not tracking it. I've never been perfect at creating stories for every task I get, especially retroactive ones that pop up in the middle of the week.

It must be part of the Burning Man experience, right?
I love writing code. I usually "score" on the higher end for LoC which managers like to praise me for while simultaneously saying LoC isn't everything but there aren't many good measures. Lol.
But! In my defense, I delete as much code as possible. Love deleting code. Not sure if that counts in the LoC. I see lots of others copy and pasting and leaving little bombs everywhere. I refactor, clean, delete. So.. hopefully my LoC is mostly that and not adding fluff.
Calligra Words looks nice. I trust anything KDE.
404. That’s an error.

It can be a problem if you stack several boxes.
You get told from the start that these things happen so I wouldn't be feeling too bad for those who failed to heed advice.

Nice, I didn't know about this. Thanks!
I can imagine this could probably work quite well with View Transitions.
Unfortunately, I have seen many of these types of people pass by management. The worst ones are the ones who do play political games correctly because they’re the ones who either get away with it at the very least or worse, make the talented engineers want to leave. Basically, the latter can completely destroy good teams.

Not op, but I think the gist is clear:

- useful applications don't need "gamification"

- native applications push users into addiction and ease privacy violations

Useful native mobile applications exist too.
But they are mostly not superior to PWAs.

I read OPs comment as an observation about the market and society and the conclusion is categorization by correlation (there are technical arguments too, of course).

Before I learned about that I usually dismissed Forgejo as an unimportant fork which will die off pretty quickly, but support of ForgeFed makes me seriously consider migrating from Gitea. I still believe that Gitea's org strategy is the right one in the long run, however.
>We have one client already using our finished parts of the platform. They're paying us $250 monthly.

Nice! I hope you realize that you're in a position few attain: someone paying you, and $250 at that.

I wouldn't think in terms of the "finished parts" of the platform, more users will bring insights into what's worth implementing and what's not. There's already a user who's getting enough value to pay you $250 monthly.

Please watch Gabriel Weinberg's (DuckDuckGo's founder) short videos, starting with this one (Number 10, Leaky Bucket): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5R6sKfjQJY

I also recommend his book, "Traction", in which he goes over several channels you could test to get traction.

You proved that you had someone pay. The next step is to have many pay.

How did you get your first user? How did they sign-up and how did they pay? Has someone else signed for that purchase/subscription or was it self service? Did you walk them through/onboard them? How much did it cost you? Where did they come from? How can you attract similar users (same sector, same function/role)? Is the user willing to recommend the tool to their network of peers? Does the user go to a conference/events to meet with peers (same role/function or adjacent)? Would it be interesting to target that?

I recommend David Skok's resource ' "Zero to 100" for High Growth SaaS – A workshop on how to build your Go-to-Market': https://www.forentrepreneurs.com/growth-academy-videos/

You're at step 3 (Prove it can be sold), the next step is to "Find repeatable sales motion", etc. You can watch the video and it explains the steps well.

Take a look at Jason Cohen's talk at MicroConf: "Designing the Ideal Bootstrapped Business" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otbnC2zE2rw. It's pretty good.

Feel free to send me an email if you want to talk more.
This sounds a lot like the chunking concept from learning theory.
They need to fire his manager first and then assess this guys capabilities. Maybe he is not guided enough. Maybe he is plain stupid. Full responsibility of his manager.

I spent a few minutes exploring a similar. Using the EFF wordlist (7776 words designed to be unambiguous)[1] you should be able to get down to about 100m^2 blocks (good enough for SAR), the BIP39 word list (2048) is a bit too resolution, but is a lot easier to pronounce, maybe worth some encoding shenanigans to get it to work).

For my POC, I also used a simple 1D hilbert curve. Running a simulation and plotting the words, you actually get pretty decent resolution, and it's even alphabetical by distance. Output from simple demo w/ BIP39 (math might not be correct): https://ibb.co/MnmcRFk but you can see that the word order actually make sense (although "winner" and "winter" are too phonetically similar, but still, gets the point across).

I would be glad to hear from you.
So can any vehicle that runs without software.
Appliances are only provided in as far as they are fixed. So a kitchen may have a built-in stove top and oven, but often there is just a space for a separate oven/stove combination. Basically anything that isn’t fixed doesn’t come with the apartment. This includes flooring.

You can rent furnished apartments but this usually for short term use (think a few months).

For students it’s a little different. The appliances belong to the group and are in the shared spaces. When someone moves out they only need to clear out their room. You only need to install/remove anything when it breaks and needs replacing. Not a huge problem.
It’s very lucrative for a few investors and public funds never run out.

>I was actually much more impressed by the latter skill — among other reasons it’s simply rare

Not exactly something to encourage, but it sounds like he has experience in competitive competitions, where generating code to a problem on the fly is necessary. It's not something you can't learn yourself, but rote memorization of common problems and solutions (to the point where you can mechanically type down some algorithm from memory) is the bane of my existence

Presumably it's just an overbroad filter responding to some random attack in the past. Either way: best not to pick it apart on this thread, which isn't about web filtering, but rather artificial kidneys.
Science is already very spiritual in principle. GR teaches how pure energy without shape or form on its own appears as material objects. QM teaches that all things evolve as one mysterious wave function and what we see is small local parts of it. Finally, each thing or force, no matter how big or small, is governed by the same law that the science is trying to learn. In spiritual lingo, it's the "all is in one and one is in all" concept. The above even shows the threefold nature: action (GM), perception (QM) and will (the law).

What's non spiritual, and frankly non scientific, is the religion of materialism: that all things are made of small mechanistic particles, and consciousness somehow arises from interactions of those particles. The idea of a mechanistic universe, in other words.

Intuit and H&R Block deserve to crash and die. They should not exist and should never have existed.
Limiting access to services that were previously available is certainly not progress.

In Finland it’s pretty common to go mushroom hunting. Between 1969-2006 eight people died because of mushroom poisoning. Three of them died 20-30 years after the initial poisoning due to kidney transplant issues. So at least here it’s not very common to get killed by mushrooms even though many people enjoy foraging.
this definitely sounds like a headline from the same country that blew 2.3 trillion dollars on a 20 year war in afghanistan to replace the taliban with the taliban, and yet somehow their own citizens trapped at a festival are just going to have to conserve food and water until things get better because nothing can be done. Americans posting in the comments will do backflips to insist this is the best way things are supposed to work, things arent that bad, its about personal responsibility and helping is too expensive.

as a reminder nevada has a national guard and The Chinook is a heavy-lift helicopter that is among the heaviest lifting Western helicopters. we have rescue airboats, amphibious LVTP and even airlift capabilities throughout the nevada desert at various military installations. theres absolutely no reason to "conserve food and water."

casual reminder: tickets for this event are $750 including parking. the idea that help is not on the way (even if it isnt immediately necessary) is a little ridiculous to consider. the event has the potential to cause famine, disease, dehydration and death right now. NV has chosen to make no real effort regardless. no activation or regional planning, just thoughts and prayers.

A coffee shop I go to allows you to purchase a glass to-go in store (with some silicone wrapping on the outside to not burn your hands). I quite like the idea.
Those are mountain bike specific, with mtb specific features. We are more general road/adventure riding, though you can of course use our service to plan a mountain bike ride. If you want to go to a trail system with a network of 1-5 mile trail sections, and just want to show up and link stuff together, mtb project and trailforks have a better feature set. If you want to go on a 30-40 mile mtb ride on a trail and get navigation (not dynamically linking together individual trail sections), then we work pretty well.
Making this searchable for text would be the killer feature here.
This is worse than 2014 for sure. Plus more rain is forecasted. We got here on Thursday so were aware, but did not think it would be this bad.
Are you trying to argue with me as a proxy for the linked article? I didn't write it, and I didn't say any of that stuff you seem to be responding to. I'm explaining why it wasn't seen as a paradigm shift at the time, and that its dominance evolved over time (which is hardly surprising). Hyperbolizing history is generally a bad idea.

Perhaps other people with deeper AI knowledge can weigh in here too. But at the time, there were the two things that tipped me off.

1) Cyc's reasoning fundamentally did not feel "human". Cyc was created on the premise that you could build AGI on top of formal logic inference. But after seeing how Cyc performed on real-world problems, I became convinced that formal logic is a poor model for human thought.

The biggest tell is that formal logic systems are very brittle. If there is any fact that is even slightly off, the reasoning chain fails and the system can't do anything. Humans aren't like that; when their information is slightly off, their performance degrades gracefully.

2). Imagine a graph where time/money was on the x-axis, and Cyc's performance was on the y-axis. You could roughly plot this using benchmarks like SAT scores. It was clear if you extrapolated this that Cyc was never going to hit human-level performance; the curve was going to asymptotically approach something well below human-level performance.

As a side note, if you look at the performance of LLMs, I would argue that you get the opposite result for both criteria.
