"climate: a new story" by charles eisenstein is a great resource on an alternative understanding to climate change then simply "CO2 bad", which he presents as a red herring to ecosystem destruction

conventional wisdom is apparently "fair weather leads to more biomass" when the reality might be "more biomass leads to fair weather" as every ecosystem acts as a chemical and energetic buffer

I think it’s useful to think in terms of what we are conscious of. Meaning, that there is a subject and an object of consciousness. For example, I’d argue that qualia is not an inherent part of consciousness, it’s merely something we are conscious of. It’s plausible that qualia are inner workings in our brain that our brain is itself perceiving, and thus is conscious of. What I think confuses people is that we are also conscious of our consciousness. That doesn’t need to mean that the subject and the object of consciousness are the same in that case: it could also mean that the “of”, i.e. the arrow between subject and object, is itself an object of consciousness. Now, it’s very plausible that this “of” arrow in general is not a simple arrow, but rather a complex graph or network. Given the complexity of the brain, there is certainly ample space for myriads of such arrow-networks. The Buddhist conception of no-self can be taken as there being no singular conscious subject. Instead, there are really just the “of” arrows, which partially form a self-recursion by partially pointing to each other, and this structure is what forms the apparent “self”.

Put slightly differently, there is no consciousness without the objects of consciousness, without the things we are consciousness of. At the time, we manifestly can’t get a grasp on the subject without making it an object of consciousness. Or rather, we would be completely unaware of it if it wasn’t also an object. From this one may conclude that what actually exists is only the “of” relation, and that the conscious subject is really just formed out of those.
You're not seeing the problem right.

As a society, we want businesses to do risky things to provide better goods/services/capabilities we did not have before.

We never previously had the capability to index and search through the entirety of human knowledge effectively before. That's a game changer. The innovation and breakthroughs that could be fueled by that capability are near infinite in potential payoff.

Yet... that system never happens, why? The answer is, profits/moneymaking usurped the original purpose of the corporation.

Apple took the 20 billion because fuck yeah, no risk, and that becomes revenue stream. Progress toward organizing and making available human knowledge? 0. Google created an offering, then degraded it intentionally to preserve profit making over usability. The serving of ads, in short, is not the subject of which you should be asking. What you should be asking is "did Apple really think that they couldn't index and make available search results"?

And even before you answer that, consider there is a heap of government and industry originated pressure to actually fundamentally degrade any project that actually does an honest to god indexing effort. By indexing I mean INDEXing. A purely reversible reflection of the net as is without any of type of policy mandated distortions like "don't surface classified material, extremist content, or other verboten material".

Answer: We cannot have nice things.

Why?

Answer: Because everyone is to afraid of what would happen if we had nice things. Me included at some points. I've lived long enough to see first hand what assholes inevitably do after getting their hands on something nice. I'd love to take a stab at a distortionless index of the web. Given three years, a sufficient pool of hardware, and a ton of determination, I could probably whip up something reasonably great.

I'd have to either keep it to myself, or have the wrath of policymakers rained down upon me for facilitating "terrorists, criminals, pirates, and sexual predators". Can't even try to reach beyond the bad to the good on the other side, because the tide of innovation lifts all boats, and there's a bunch of boats that seemingly no one wants lifted. So here we sit. A society stuck in the grip of collective push to keep ourselves ifnorant through intentional acts of informational partitioning when in reality, we have the technology to render any one person able to access the sum of human knowledge at any time.

We could literally live post scarcity in terms of info-propagation. In reality, the only ones who do, are the very corporations, painstakingly building the apparatus to only go one-way, toward them, and no one else.

And we only have ourselves to blame.
Why not use them on the operating system they already work on?
In my own opinion, if you’re arrested, have paid the standard debt to society that we all (in theory) have agreed on, and gone back into society seeking a job… forcing people to constantly deal with their old (non violent) crimes seems like extra-judicial punishment for very little benefit.

Even worse to leave that punishment to a private company.

Very bad rebuttal. You effectively just demonstrated you got stuck with MS for 30 years. You have not seen any others other than MS. You likely downplay the bad and overtly having good image of MS. My experience with multiple cloud systems CANNOT conclude Azure in the top 5. At best maybe 6th with occasionally hitting 5th or 4th depending on some specific tech metrics.
Yes that's a fair take. He has done a lot of work to show that these perceptions couldn't have evolved to see the truth or see objective reality. He has a lot of rigorous math and simulation data on this angle.

He goes further than this but has less proof so far. Says consciousness is fundamental, not physical reality, not quantum world. Says that these are projections that eminate from something more fundamental.

Compared to apl, every database is pretty bloated. but more easily understood.

A form of 80's "sql" pushed out the more elegant upgrade for "sql". aka forerunner which postgress is based on.

"SQL" was a workaround to needing a degree(s) in underlying theory/how to build hardware/software from scratch and degree in practical use application(s).

Updated/modern 70's pre-sql , non-postgres example:

Kleene[0] / de brujin[1] programming a complete database system from scratch (pawk/neovim) using ebnf/bnf in place of more modern data structures with an wasm compiled awk /python for browser use might make postgres seem like a darling. Does make for lot of academic/discussion material.

Aren't us humans almost exclusively a net negative, except for a small few? Meaning in most cases to Earth, it's best we didn't exist? We create pollution, waste, consume large amounts of resources that are only a net benefit in some cases to humans.

Now in a cosmic sense, maybe the Universe gains by having life - but who knows

I used to write browser UI code all the time, but it’s been a few years. This is the first I’ve heard of someone using pointer events.

Do you worry at all about someone’s browser not supporting them, given that Safari added support in 2020? I guess Safari 12 is hopefully no longer used in practice, with macOS Mojave users hopefully running Safari 13 or 14? It would be pretty bad if something as simple as dragging didn’t work in a production app designed for the market of web users at large.

Adding event handlers to the document during a drag is a time-honored practice, and browsers add brand-new features all the time that are intended to simplify some use case or other but have their own edge cases and gotchas, which the article says are not fully addressed. And there’s still a combination of pointer and touch events in the end result. I wonder if the “simplicity” in the sense of less code is worth the additional edge cases, less browser support, and the developer needing to understand the ins and outs and browser differences of pointer events, which are presumably less understood and documented than mouse events.
There should be some kind of test number twin of 911 that works exactly the same (without SIM, supplying E911 data), but just plays a pre-recorded message optionally with some "debug" info.

There's enough 911 calls for everyone, they're just not distributed equally.

I don't quite see how it could be a significant share of workload that would go to code. The parts you can dispatch there just are not that significant in costwaise when running a financial organization.

Furthermore, even the part that could be dispatched to code, won't. See DAO in the early days of etherium.

I wouldn't classify it as "ape shit", but the MySQL connector used to be LGPL. Now that's it's GPL any software that bundles it needs to be GPL as well. I'm guessing that Oracle has contacted some companies about commercial licensing. The alternative is to just use the MariaDB connector, which is still LGPL and is MySQL compatible.

This makes me wonder if there is research on pathways that 'cause' autism, or perhaps how we can find the 'vulnerability' which then is 'exploited' by something using those pathways.

I'm using a bunch of quotes in there because I'm not well-versed enough in medicine terminology to know what the correct wording would be (and as such I also haven't had much luck in searching PubMed or NIH for that matter).

I would imagine that much like other complex systems, there are many similar outcomes that emerge from different chain reactions, and understanding one precursor is only a small part of the first link in a rather complicated chain.

If it wasn't clear enough: your ethnicity, whether claimed or factual doesn't make your claims more or less valid.

The choice of names, however, reflects in this case a political side of a writer. Even if the cause is mere "autocorrect" I still claim the autocorrect sublimes your political views correctly, and I never claimed that you hide them. On the contrary, they can't be more obvious, inviting literal occupation: "I just hope NATO ... actually go all the way and occupies the country."

Inviting a war is a terrible position, good only for those who, ignoring all the bodies of the victims, profit from them. Long term, neither war inside own borders nor occupation resulted in the net benefit of the attacked and/or occupied nations. Any claims to the opposite stem from the specific political agenda, which I invite the readers to be aware of in discussions with political consequences.
Happened to me twice with an iPhone. Both times I triggered it when the phone was lagging for some reason (eg it got too hot and throttled down). I guess iOS doesn't track the delay between button presses properly when it's overloaded. I was able to cancel the call in time, but it's a horrifying seeing the timer go down while mashing the non-responsive stop button.
I did the exact same thing last year when I first heard of this (recurring) issue. Safety is not part of a promo packet, so who at Google cares to fix it?

I hate how Apple infantilizes the user, but at least they have vision of making a product. Not a collection of promotion producing ideas.
A test lab is a room that is completely isolated from the outside (and in a way that the RF doesn't leak outside of the premises) where you can do these kind of experiments.

Considering the amount of teams working on the Google Dialer, and the fact that they might be distributed across multiple cities / countries - this sounds very expensive.
Psychology, and specifically DBT practitioners seem to have the belief that consciousness is at odds with emotions, and that one must struggle to access their own consciousness. There is the emotional, intellectual, and ‘wise’ minds, and then you, with agency to give credence towards one or another. To be an observer of your thoughts… while this may lead to healthy outcomes, I’ve found the model disturbing. Who is that agent making that decision, and what makes it distinct and authoritative?

I was with you until "pay a fraction of a penny for a page view". Trying to push the web back into the closed pay for access model is something that leaves a bad taste in many people's mouths. I'd say it's only a positive thing if it's funding new nodes working to route around existing attempts at artificial scarcity (to drive the price to within an epsilon of zero). But given the way the legal shakedown regime works we know it won't actually play out that way.
I have been imersing myself in this subject and the gist of what I got is that consciousness collapses under the reductionist process currently employed in the scientific method.

Moreover, the very framework in which the current scientific work is done might well be just an emergent data structure used by what we understand as consciousness to navigate whatever the objective reality is in a way that is simpler and more effective than having to access quantum states and particle trajectories through senses.

That being said, I think that there is something intrinsically insufficient in language itself to describe this wholistic relationship between consciousness, qualia and the perceived world. My take is that for anything to be communicated through symbols it has to undergo a reduction process which is essential to the flow of information to occur, otherwise you would have to communicate the entire universe at once, which is just impossible. You have to reduce reality to a set of symbols for the symbols itself to make sense. That is the whole premise of language, that a word has meaning only when immersed in other words (cow represents a cow insofar it doesn't represent anything else besides a cow).

If this is true, and Gödel incompleteness Theorem is essential, then this whole talk might take us closer to representing the experience of consciousness but there might never be a unifying theory, because for that to exist, that has to be a language that represents everything without reducing it to none of its parts, a theory without postulates.

This video is not only cool from the perspective of showing what a 1981 $25,000 HP CAD workstation with Motorola 68000 was capable of -- but also for the technique of using some breakout electronics and a program on another computer to emulate a HP drive of that era:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCU4xbHFb58&t=1839s

In the future, I think it would be an awesome thing if software existed, similar to the above, but less HP-specific, such that it could emulate via different types of breakout interfaces every known floppy drive and every known hard drive...

Perhaps even more broadly, every known electronic peripheral device via a database of some sort -- although, perhaps that would be quite a stretch...

Like, one of the the real-world interfaces -- could be a generic ISA 8-bit card-like plug.

Plug this into an 8-bit ISA slot of old PC -- and with the proper software running on another machine, you can emulate a Hard Drive, a Floppy Drive, maybe even an early 8-bit sound card or CGA card...

So, something like that -- but for all interface types, and for all types of hardware.

Why?

Well, testing, debugging, fixing, restoration, etc., etc.

Also would be great for proxying and testing complex operating systems...

Incidentally, the 68000 shown in the video above doesn't say 68000 on it; it's an HP part that has HP's custom part code stamped on it; to decipher these codes the following table could be used:

Possible. But batches are relatively small. When you see a copycat appearing in the same batch of your interview (and interview was a not a direct reject, there were follow up calls).

There is a difference between “an idea” versus investment of a few months of prototyping and market research that goes into distilling an approach to a product.

You can simply multiply going salary of the professional that us doing it onto the time spent. And then get a rough estimate of the value of that IP.

When a startup goes to a VC there is inevitably a transfer of that IP to the VC. And the transfer is unidirectional, until a partner invests their capital and time.
There were massive protests, especially in NYC (i was there).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_the_Iraq_War

They didn't listen and the media aided and abetted their lies (looking at you NYT and Judith Miller). So many people knew it was bullshit and that was an acceleration of the disempowering turn the US took that's led us to where we are today (rising fascist populism, attacks on marginalized groups, govt shutdown due to a radical minority).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Miller

They knew they were lying. We knew they were lying. The media knew they were lying. And yet it all happened anyways. Nobody has ever really dug into Cheney's role in it all, but it's probably Nixonian in scope and undermining the meaning of the American image of itself.
Did anybody ask governments to “help with diet” though? It feels more like governments in their ever expanding power struggle decided diets needed to be fixed even though nobody complained about them and then decided that the ends justify any means.
