Conversely fMRI data shows that apparently conscious action is preceded by significant activation of the relevant regions of the brain before areas associated with consciousness are engaged.

We see supporting behaviour with experiments in split brain patients.

So it's wholly unclear, IMO, that the experience of being conscious is necessary for complex planning and action.
> I think the implicit argument here is that "capitalism" means "rule by those who own capital."

what "rule" ? - capitalism doesn't set out to "rule" by anyone, it's been a system of owning capital (to put it very simply / abbreviated) for as long as I've known it. I would call myself a "capitalist" (in that i ascribe to it, used it to pull myself out of poverty) but i do not believe in anyone having "rule" over me, especially not my employers. As a sound bite: "freer the markets, freer the people".

> Hence a lack of unemployed people, which would hurt the captains of industry, _would_ be a failure under that definition of "capitalism."

Ok, I could argue "maybe not", but why would we be arguing under that definition of capitalism? Is it not the same as "well my definition of capitalism is that everyone gets ponies and candies, so if you have rotted teeth, that's a failure of capitalism, under that definition."

I'm saying this in jest but for a real reason, why would we "just pick a definition of capitalism and argue why it fails" ?

> If by "capitalism" we merely mean things like a market economy with property rights, then the question would be what to call a system that has this but where workers, rather than captains of industry, have more power?

Capitalism. I'll assume by "power" you mean things like bargaining power for salary negotiations, benefits, etc, which is what unions do.. then yes, by definition, the seller (union) has capital (labour) that the buyer (whatever boogeyman you want) will have to negotiate for. The alternatives are to take it by force, which goes both ways, and ends in eternal conflict or a ruling power (this time real "rule" not phoney "he gave me a job" rule.)

> Whatever we want to call _that_ system, it doesn't currently exist, and we've seen that any moves in that direction are very strongly resisted

I strongly resist the rise in milk prices as well. It's a natural thing to resist having to pay more for the same services, because one seems to be losing something for no reason.. that's not to say it's a bad thing. Milk is expensive, people have real needs.

The only way to supress the complaining is by 1. convincing people that's what they really want, or 2. beating / forcibly supressing that. CCP for example, does both, by attributing anything to nationalism and/or xenophobia - because it works and keeps the populace not demanding more power from the government.

> (c.f. return to office policies driven by captains of industry freaking out).

I would fathom that it's less "captains of industry wanting to enslave the common people like you and I" and more "commercial real-estate no longer has as much of a purpose and people do not want to be left holding the bag"
I worked in this space for years. There are some colleges and majors that are a wash and a very few that are net negative, but the majority are net positive and the best are typically net positive several million in lifetime earnings even counting the hole you dig paying tuition and fees.

Huawei to start demanding 5g royalties from Apple, Samsung - from 2021:

It’s based on the fact that their reported returns are so absurdly far on the long-tail of being an outlier as to suggest there is more to it than “they’re just good.” I don’t know for sure—but it’s close enough that I’d bet a lot of my own 7-figure net worth on it.

Also, I only know of WSB from articles I’ve read: your implication is rude and uncharitable at best.
Regarding the Eidophor and possible similar technology in WWII, it may have been that there was still something missing to make rapidly spinning mirrors (like in laser printers, etc.) a viable option.

Staying "in the flow" is difficult, but build time is clearly not the unique or maybe even the most important factor.

Good tooling should be expected to not break the flow, but from my experience, interruptions and meetings are far worse.
> culture that teaches the value of community

I don't disagree, but you need to be very careful how you define community. A community that is defined by who is included nearly always cannot escape an implicit declaration of who is excluded, and a community which includes everybody is no community at all. When you have an in-group and an out-group, you sow the early seeds of conflict and discord.

> Isn't this the basis for the family unit?

No, this is the basis for the tribe, with similar concerns about intertribal conflict. Modern societies enjoy such peace and improved quality-of-life outcomes precisely because the state largely subsumes these tribes, and where the state is unsuccessful at doing so (e.g. religious affiliation), has at least succeeded in eliminating much of the worst of intertribal conflict within the state's sphere of control.
Thanks for sharing the 'discussion' I started.

Last year in October GitHub did the same and it was quickly reverted. I really hope this will happen again.

Having a chronological timeline is very useful and that feed is al great source of news interesting projects and people to follow. It's by far my favorite daily feed and I'm very sad that GitHub is trying to remove it.

Here is an aggregate of all the topics that are created in reaction to the update

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/66226

Here on HN there must be someone from GitHub who is reading along, I'm curious if they can help us get the previous feed back as an option.
It also has a recent history of racial discrimination targeting minorities as a result of false accusations of child abuse, so it's worth making sure there isn't an overcorrection particularly in a society where people sometimes still attribute random individuals together based on perceived ethnic origin.

Western democracy has been successfully subverted by capital, and they know it. Now the screw-tightening begins.
I'm sure there's some juicy details behind the curtains, but people are too professional to air it publicly. Here's some fun but baseless theories:

1) Typical big-company guy fails to adapt to startup life. A year ago, Flexport's tech team was 400 people. That's minuscule compared to what Dave's used to at Amazon. He came in, insisted on a bunch of unnecessary hiring, bloated the tech team with deadwood, internal kingdoms and politics, and a "move slow and don't break anything" mentality. Founder got fed up and showed him the door, though presumably they were gracious enough to let him hit his 1-year cliff

2) Almost-CEO-of-Amazon tries to build the next Amazon. Makes a bunch of wildly risky investments into random moonshots, because he doesn't want to settle for a single-digit-billion company. Founder is initially taken in by bigshot's vision. But after 1 year of minimal progress and changing market conditions, founder tells CEO to get back to basics and focus on freight logistics. CEO decides that's not sexy enough for him. Waits for his 1-year cliff, then resigns

Exited to hear more wild theories from others.

jq is great. I don't know how many times I've had to explain to engineers the invalid numeric literal error means your json is bad. no really, don't trust me, copy it into the ide. it's not jq. your message is malformed.

Strangely, I also have ECMA-404 and RFC8259 open in other tabs. mostly annoyance with the occasional flashes of anger over number formats and duplicate keys.
Again: The state's claim is to legitimacy. A capricious exercise would be an abrogation of legitimacy.

Using force outside prescribed circumstances, beyond necessity, or to serve perverted ends (e.g., benefiting a specific politician, bureaucrat, or political supporter or special interest) would be a capricious use.

Again, read Weber's definition, and I strongly recommend listening to David Runciman's explanation. I came across it long after coming to a similar conclusion myself, he addresses virtually all my own understandings and concerns especially clearly.
The last time I visited Amsterdam, I was surprised by how old a lot of the riders were.

That said, when I am pushing 80 years old and if I have health issues, I can imagine that I would want an e-trike. That sort of vehicle solves for the issues of stamina and balance.

I don't know that I would ever consider traveling on a micro mobility device to be something I "have" to do. If I ever get to the point that I really can't do it regardless of equipment, I imagine I would feel a sense of loss.
If that's the video I'm thinking of, it's referencing Finland, where people bike all year because the bicycle infrastructure is well maintained.

Try driving in -20 on unmaintained roads, and you'll find the same thing as your current statement about biking. The temperature is largely unrelated to the infrastructure's useability
I'd also point out that even if you accepted the Chinese room thought experiment it doesn't apply.

Modern AI systems have tons of non-deterministic input. They have cameras and they will do completely different things if a photon hits one pixel vs another. This is an input that has true quantum randomness and the computer will have a completely different response based on this true quantum randomness. Modern AI systems are absolutely not deterministic which is required for the Chinese room thought experiment. Non-determinism may apply to a black box computer without real world input but as soon as you add non-determinism which modern real world AI systems absolutely do have you break any comparison to the Chinese room thought experiment.

So the entire "herp derp it's like a catapult" is wrong straight off the bat. Modern AI systems act based on non-deterministic input and since non-determinism propagates and makes the output of the entire system non-deterministic you better have a better explanation than "It's deterministic" to explain why a computer can't be conscious.

> From 50,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago there were no capitalists, no kings, no slave owners.

Citation needed. Humans have been anatomically modern since 100k BC, including the brain. There is no reason to think there haven't been kings or slaves in that time, just that there is no history about them.
> Worker exploitation is a core principle of capitalism

you can choose not to work. you just have to figure out how to get food and shelter on your own though.

you can go into the woods, hunt and fish, and build your own shelter. as long as you're not breaking laws, you'll be fine.

If work was owed to the state (or syndicate), then you have no choice (by being part of the state) - so which one is slavery and exploitation?

I am just glad Microsoft embraced open source and is even willing to open source some of their old tools. I fully understand... Sometimes people leave undesirable comments (swear words and curses for whoever breaks it, and so on...) so I appreciate anything you guys do. One of my secret hopes is someday I come on HN to find out that some if not all of Visual Basic 6 has been open sourced, that way I can always install it without having to sail the seven seas (an option I don't bother with anymore...) or trying to figure out where my old license key even went.

Quick question if you don't mind answering: Does Microsoft have a team that is devoted to just that full time? I'm assuming it would be your team, but is that essentially all or most of what your team works on?

Edit to suggest why; Like a hammer, the tool he seems to be working on has a handle and just as you need a hole in a hammer head to stick the handle in this tool needs a hole for a handle and the clip could be an early step in that process.

I never bought into the narrative that somehow the wily Prussians 'tricked' the poor French into declaring war on them.

Yes the Ems Dispatch was editorialised - but at that point France had already decided they would declare war if Prussia didn't agree to their demands.

I'm not entirely sure what other options Prussia had at this point, accept to humiliate themselves further by accepting all French demands (that no Hohenzollern would ever be permitted to be a candidate on the Spanish throne for the rest of time).

Unfortunately, not all services describable as utilities are in fact regulated as utilities. There are many who still consider water, gas, electricity, and sewerage as luxuries, let alone comms and data. Some in political office.

Otherwise, you're generally arguing in agreement with my fundamental point, or ignoring the fact that many individuals and/or businesses (and many businesses, as sole proprietorships, are individuals) lack the time, knowledge, and/or capabilities to sufficiently diversify their service provision relationships. Or, as I've mentioned several times already, many mid-sized and larger firms. Particularly as the underlying technological landscape is constantly shifting and* is operated by those who'd much prefer to create lock-in.

Funny how have things have progressed. We went from using HTML + CSS for simple presentation of information, to enriching with small amounts of client side scripting, to plug-and-play sandboxed applications with Flash/Java. Then we realised those were a terrible idea, Flash and Java Applets died, so we started treating JavaScript as a compilation target to mount behemoth abstractions enabling a native application-like experience. When browsers collapsed under the weight of all that crap, WASM was born by necessity. And so we're back to applets.

As a sibling commenter mentioned - if a HSM dumps its memory where it contains private key material, that’s a spectacularly bad HSM, which MS wouldn’t have been able to fix the race condition of.

Reading that MS were able to fix the crashing system’s race condition that included the key, it’s likely to have been a long-lived intermediate key for which the private key was held in memory (with a HSM backed root key for chain of trust validation, assuming MS aren’t completely stupid).

The challenge is the sheer scale these servers operate in terms of crypto-OPS… it would melt most dedicated HSMs.

It's why the "hallucination" concern is IMO not a helpful way for people to conceive of the remaining challenges. These things aren't meant to be search engines, search engines already exist, and I don't understand the utility of using the model itself as a search engine (I do understand having the model search for you and summarise what it finds, like an integrated assistant). The model is better conceived of as the part that does the thinking, and to work on knowledge that you want to be reliable you have to have that knowledge accessible to the model in some other format. We know how to store information, generally. What is interesting and useful about this model is not their ability to off-the-cuff recall facts without access to any resources, that's a party trick in humans and AI. What is interesting about them is their ability to be given a piece of information, understand it, and use that information for logical reasoning. That provides the ability to answer questions about the information, use the information in conjunction with other information, etc. That is new for a natural language interface, and it has really interesting implications for what we can build with it.
