"But I’ve found it remarkably difficult to convince my mind that it exist anywhere other than my head. I don’t think this difficulty is based on biology. I think it’s just conditioning. But damn, it’s hard."

It really is hard. I just know the conscious effort of meditating and centering my consciousness in the center of my body (above the belly button) as opposed to my head, really helps my focus and mental abilities and general wellbeing. And everytime I use my mobile .. it helps me if I do it afterwards, to not get lost again. I wonder if the jogis would have advanced much, if they would have had a mobile close to them ..
The German Heise publishing house continues to publish the Byte/PCW-sort-of-like magazine "c't". Useful for keeping any German language skills alive if you're into that.

> long practice of mass debt relief called a jubilee

The concept has long heritage. In reality, very few actual debt forgivenesses are documented.

Note, too, that in a Malthusian economy, debt has a tendency to be wealth transferring: the capital capacity of the system is limited. In a growing economy, that need not be the case.

> permanence of debt is an illusion created by our current political and economical system

We continuously poof debt. It’s called bankruptcy.
A thing with Out-of-Body-Experiences is that if you were able to shift outside of your body, then why would you still be constrained to the body of the earth?

If you were able to roam around free of physics, then certainly you would leave not only your human body, but you would have to take account of the earth moving around the sun as well (at breakneck speed, mind you). You'd probably be either a few kilometers inside our planet or up in the air, and then in space, in practically no time.

So, call me unconvinced about OBE's. It's most likely just your mind playing tricks on you.
> it describes me SO WELL that its scary.

There are only 16 types. While that's a few more than zodiac signs, does it seem likely that 16 categories would describe people in a specific enough way to be falsifiable? I see them as 16 categories with overwhelmingly positively biased descriptions, making people prone to seeing themself in the category description.

I'm not saying the underlying axes are completely wrong, but if you read the 4 descriptions which are one letter off of your MBTI type, do at least 2 of them also resonate with you?

The gyroscopic effect is negligible on a bicycle and it isn’t even what provides stability to it (it’s mostly the front fork and steering geometry). It’s more noticeable on a motorbike at highway speeds, but it still doesn’t act on it in an entirely desirable way.

Nobody designs async things anymore, because they are much harder to validate, partly because there is no async equivalent of all the tooling used to validate synchronous logic. The final product might be better, but if it takes 3 years longer to ship because validation is harder, there is no room for it in the market. (Because the synchronous competitor has already shipped their next version on a better process node by the time you get yours out.)

In a few cases ChatGPT responds to a prompt (e.g. "To be or not to be") by returning a specific text word-for-word. More often (e.g. "Johnstown flood, 1889") it returns with information, but the specific wording will vary from one occasion to the next. In some cases (e.g. "Miriam Yevick") it doesn't return anything, though the topic was (most likely) in the training corpus. When the prompt is the beginning of a line or a sentence in a famous text, ChatGPT always identifies the text. When the prompt is a phrase that is syntactically coherent, ChatGPT generally identifies the text, but may not properly locate the phrase within the text. When the prompt cuts across syntactic boundaries, ChatGPT almost never identifies the text. But when told it is from a "well-known speech" it is able to do so. ChatGPT's response to these prompts is similar to associative memory in humans, possibly on a holographic model.
I wouldn’t be so sure that what they’re describing isn’t really the same as your “visualization”. I can’t truly see anything in my mind’s eye, same as you and others in this thread, but I can abstractly visualize it, again same as you describe for rotating a die, and I can place that abstract visualization in the 3D space I see before my (open) eyes.

I think it’s more likely that others describe this abstract visualization as “seeing” although they don’t really see it, as opposed to them really seeing it as if it were real. As you say, it’s difficult to describe. It’s like a memory of having seen something, and people might describe that as really seeing (because it’s like a memory of really seeing), but in fact it’s not.

Anyone who can’t control their balance on the fulcrum of a kart tire — under their own muscle power — trying to go fast on one of these boards is outright reckless.
Things actually end up not that different in the I/O department. Yeah, there are only 20 lanes going direct to the CPU but the northbridge has the bandwidth to hang another true 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes off it (before running into contention). At this point you are still an honest 4 lanes short but half the lanes are 4x faster so things like your GPU or high speed NIC don't need to eat 16 lanes each in the first place. The story repeats on memory where, yeah, you don't have 4 memory channels anymore... but the actual memory bandwidth is significantly higher and the total capacity is about the same.

I've got a 13900k NAS build with 14 NVMe drives in it and 25G network connectivity. If you do W680 for the motherboard instead of the typical boards you get to keep the ECC too. Saved me thousands compared to getting equivalent I/O and total CPU performance with a server board. Reminded me a lot of when I got a 1650v3 prior really, "oh, it's kind of just consumer stuff but fully loaded", but ran a lot faster (of course).

The hardest part is finding a board which breaks out the things out into ports instead of trying to figure out how to cram 2 extra cheap "gaming" nics, wi-fi, 50 USB ports, or other useless things in statically instead.
Not to invalidate what you're saying, but surely every country has it's problems? While the problems you sight are significant, if this has been the case for a while, would they have been resolved if all the money had not been invested into renewables?

It sounds like culturally, those problems would still exist today i.e. due to corruption, but at least you have the renewables in place, as opposed to not have them.

I feel like you're looking for an ideal version that doesn't exist in reality.

That article is riddled with basic errors. Steady-state economies can exist with debt—it’s how ancient non-imperial economies worked. Debt jubilees aren’t the only way to erase debt—we use bankruptcy, which is more targeted and continuous.

I am not Portuguese but live here for some years now. It surprises me often how happy Portuguese can be with minor details that work while there are so many much more serious problems.

For example: some years ago several people mentioned the roads of Portugal were the best of Europe. I had a hard time believing because many local roads were worse than I remember from most countries. After the 3rd person or so I started wondering and looked it up. Turned out this was only for highways, which Portugal has only a few and build with EU money. Plus Portugal was actually only second, the Dutch highways were the best. Something I suspect at that time was not really frontpage news in the Netherlands. Until today many local roads are very bad.
Warfarin is one of the most well known scientifically, but as a practitioner you may not know this because hospitals and insurers are scared to acknowledge the ongoing rate of preventable bad outcomes caused by not accounting for variances in metabolism.

That is to say, if we were to actually start assessing patients’ ability to metabolize warfarin we’d have to confront the fact that a huge number of bad clinical outcomes in the recent past stemmed from not doing this.

Many people arrive at the same idea/perception, be it through meditation and/or with the help of psychedelics.

I think it was Terrence McKenna who described the brain as an antenna that tunes in to a certain band of the universal consciousness, and that's what we consider to be the thoughts of an individual.

More or less same idea, slightly different way of phrasing it.

I believe some buddhist practitioners also have a similar way of thinking.

Once the birth rate for a particular year is set, you can’t exactly go back in time and change it. So you don’t need to be a trained demographer to see that we are on a crashing trajectory.

Beyond that, perhaps the models do assume that future birth rates don’t wildly depart from historical ranges. Seems a reasonable assumption to me.

But sure we could somehow get artificial wombs and an interest in using them, if that’s what you’re suggesting. Seems unlikely though.

It's a shame to see so many comments engaged in this kind of pseudoscience. There's no evidence that consciousness is anything other than a state arising from the physical processes in our bodies. I'm open minded to hypothesis that are potentially testable, but people keep just repeating the implausible.

I also hate that I keep reading that consciousness, or anything else, is a universe "hack" which is several levels of stupid. From the language level, you cannot apply that word to a non engineered system with no purpose because it implies subverting the purpose.

>It does not mean we should not pursue fission. But I'm a pro-technology guy. I can't easily understand how 80 years ago we got to the point of harnessing a source of energy ten million times more dense than fossil fuels, and then we collectively decide to just give it up. And I don't buy any of the arguments of the anti-technology crowd: it's too expensive, it's too dangerous,

I sympathise with your sentiment here, but consider this - we have invented technology that can create electricity when placed in sunlight. Once the device is created, the electricity is free.

We can generate hydrogen from this free electricity to make the power predictable, and when consumed hydrogen releases not only energy but also clean water. The devices are already so cheap that people are putting them on their personal homes, to the tune of several TWh of additional yearly capacity. More than several nuclear reactors annually in fact.

Is it really likely that anything can happen to Nuclear that makes it able to compete with that?

Also, consider that the main risk comes from humans, who are immune to the Moores Law period in any case.
> Assuming we develop (apparently) conscious minds on our current trajectory, there will be opportunities to run experiments in parallel, have real controls, and AGI researchers will, hypothetically, be able to self-introspect all the way down to the most basic level.

The most miraculous thing to me is being thrown into the world as an individual, and I think this idea of a tapped consciousness is meant to reconcile with that. There's the perspective also that it's entirely illusory like the self, but that's not satisfying by itself. Life in other things seems abstracted away, like machines running on electricity, but being me, right now, you can't help but ask things like "why am I in this body and reduced to an individual? How is it that I can experience this, and presumably, others can too?". It's crazy.

No, but how many C++ programmers could actually understand its spec? How many people who own an Intel processor could actually understand its manual? How many people who live in your country could actually understand its tax code? Could you, off the top of your head, explain where the bank where you hold your primary bank account keeps its assets, and how likely this particular combination of assets is likely to lead to a bankruptcy, when compared with other banks? How many people could actually understand the relevant financial statements that answer this question? Same goes for retirement funds and their investment portfolios, insurance policies, election laws, or even phone / internet contracts.

If you think that all systems need (or even should) be understandable before being widely deployed, I'd argue crypto is still simpler than what we already have.
Interesting. Another potential spectrum could be people wired more for concrete vs abstract

I thought one of the main reasons for the iPhone's popularity in the USA was the unlimited data with AT&T.

see https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2007/06/26AT-T-and-Apple-Anno...

[update: added following text about AT&T's subsequent iPhone marketing]

from https://www.dallasnews.com/business/technology/2017/09/12/10...:

"Analysts wondered if Apple could live up to the hype. They cautioned that only the wealthy or the tech-obsessed might cough up the cash. Only 15 percent or less of phone users said in a 2007 survey by Jupiter Research that they were willing to pay $100 or more for a phone.

Jobs said he aimed to get just 1 percent of the market by 2008.

AT&T threw its backing behind the iPhone again a year later. It decided to subsidize the iPhone 3G — the second generation of the phone — to boost retail sales and ultimately add more wireless customers. It began paying Apple about $300 per device, according to analysts' estimates, to lower the cost for customers. It charged $199 for the iPhone 3G, a sharp price cut from the first phone.

More than 1 million of the phones sold in the first weekend. By January 2008, the iPhone had become AT&T's most popular smartphone, leading to an uptick in wireless customers for the legacy telecom as landlines began to decline."

Ask HN: Why no user-side filters in messaging apps?
This literally just occurred to me today after deleting and marking as spam the 999999999999999th fundraising text message from some political candidate. Email has had killfiles for decades. Yet Apple provides no way for users to, say, automatically delete anything on iMessage with the string "actblue." Neither, as far as I can discern, do other major messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc.

Is this some kind of technical barrier? (I imagine it could be done client-side, so encryption isn't an issue.) Or an explainable product decision?
