More dynamic / finer grained hooking (e.g. perhaps targeting a single thread, within a function's scope, because you're not writing a command line tool that quickly exits) is likely to require a more manual touch.
Is agency a feeling as a way to keep us sane about how we are just reacting to everything?
Short answer: absolutely not.

The whole idea actually originated in wholly mistaken idea that Newtonian mechanics implied that the universe was a big clockwork, unfathomably complex but still predetermined. This rests on the false philosophic view that Newtonian mechanics are the only form of causality (or more broadly, that the laws of physics are the only form causality.)

Free will is a type of causality emerging from a particular kind of entity. It in no way violates any other type of causality, and vice-versa. Free will can't violate physics; you can't say "I have free will, therefore I can throw this ball to 50% of light speed." It pertains to an entity with free will making a choice among certain finite possible choices at any given time.

Preventing any compromise of an X11 app from being easily escalated seems useful, and there's no usability hit for users. Developers have to update code designed in the 1990s – which I should note most of us griped about even back then – but that's not especially onerous and has multiple other benefits.

Common sense has a new meaning nowadays: it is just opposite of educated. And in that semantic space education = brainwashing. So yes, by that definition higher education (etc) leads to less common sense.
Lots and lots of serious thinkers believe free will “is just autocomplete.” Or more precisely, we don’t actually possess free will but we have a convincing-enough intuition that we have it.

It’s a compelling argument because no one seems to have any idea where free will would come from and actually when you pay close attention to your own cognition, it doesn’t feel free-willy at all.

What do you mean does the airport continue visual approaches on both runways even in an emergency?
Then you obviously understand my point as to why I don’t feel that criticism of hypocrisy by hypocrites should be taken seriously.
The problem I notice is even though we might create niche interest groups online, they're hard to translate into real life. Makes it hard to connect with others when you meet them for drinks, find a movie to watch or some other sort of entertainment.

I feel very lucky I was already out of university by the time algo-feeds became mainstream, otherwise it would be hard to chat about "latest episode of Game of Thrones". Or just generally chit-chat about "some stuff that everyone saw online".
I am having trouble parsing your reply, looks like some parts are missing. Can you rephrase?

We were talking about jupyter notebooks, which are typically used for exploratory work, and thus are executed either on local desktop under default user account, or in containers with pretty open access controls. My point was that under those circumstances, it is OK to assume any cache data is trusted.

Your reply somehow talks about secured containers and privilege escalation but I cannot figure out how is it connected to running Jupyter on local laptop, nor the threat model you are worried about.
I wish hackers used their talents to expose C-level execs of companies like this (and their partners), instead of blackmailing game developers and leaking their in-progress work.

Do something for good.
The function you pass in can keep track of how many times it’s been called, and provide different values on each call.
Looks like the ATC was being more professional here than the pilots. Threatening an emergency isn't how you do things...
> What of it?

It was an answer to this question specifically

> Which 3 vendors are you referring to? Intel, AMD, and who?

I either missed some of the other text in your post or it was added after I started to reply.

> Both official open source drivers (open-gpu-kernel-module)

This is not remotely close to being a complete graphics driver. Most of a GPU driver on Linux is in userspace and there is no official open source user space component.

> Why are you bringing up open source drivers, and what is not practical?

nouveau has never been practical for serious use due to poor performance and mediocre hardware support (as you noted). open-gpu-kernel-module is only practical when paired with a proprietary userspace driver.

Anyway, my original point in all this is that describing VA-API as an Intel vendor specific API is unfair given it has been well supported on AMD GPUs for a long time now and on nouveau it's supported as well as VDPAU (i.e. not very well as you note). I did not intend to imply that it was universal. I didn't even intend to imply that VDPAU is a vendor specific API (though as a decode-only API it's not really a complete replacement).

Intel tried to make va-api the standard for hardware encode and decode on Linux, Nvidia tried to make VDPAU the standard for hardware decode on Linux. Neither was entirely successful. By contrast, NVENC/NVDEC, AMF and the Intel Media SDK (and whatever they replaced this with) never had such ambitions.

> You don't. Testing third-party code is beyond the purview of first-party tests.

Testing third-party code is often well within the purview of first-party integration testing. Aside from validating your code, and your understanding of the documentation, these sometimes incidentally catch third-party bugs. Working around bugs until upstream fixes their code may also be within the purview of first-party code... and perhaps catching regressions even if they've supposedly been fixed.

> Otherwise, if the code is truly beyond your reach, you just have to trust that the vendor's claims are true. If you cannot establish that trust, use a different library that you can trust. Testing concerns are the least of your problems when you have no trust for the library you are using.

We unit test our code because we can't even trust ourselves - nevermind our coworkers, nevermind third party vendors. Granted, unit tests for third party libraries are often worth upstreaming, and you may trust upstream enough to delete your downstream copies of those unit tests once you do...

As a Ruby/Rails developer, time mocking is awesome. It's built right into rails or you can use Timecop and it's just as simple as adding:

or

around { |example| travel_to("2023-12-20T12:00:00Z".to_datetime) { ex.run } }

as setup hooks to your tests and it stubs all of the relevant datetime helpers for you for each test case and properly restores everything between tests.

There are things I have seen in popSci which go to the minimum possible signal delay between some sense of things in the world, and the brain being told, and the continuous model we operate as brains, which has to integrate over those inputs.

So believing that is a tenable view of things, I can believe in this model we maintain, we can assign 'agency' to actions which other parts of the model predict "are going to happen" based on mismatches between actual signal delay, "computed" delay, and synthesized interior world-view delay. Events can happen in real world time, and lag into the system. Events can lag into the system in a fully integrated manner but we can have a computed sense of their likely outcome based on our internal predicted model.

Measurement across this would be complicated. I don't know I think ML is going to be the best path, if it actually drives to some "wrong" assumptions about where delay is, and where "agency" is being inferred.

Agency in gross time, where we choose to press a button and therefore cause things to happen, and where we can choose not to press the button at the last moment, and have them not (yet) happen, is different to a sense of agency over things which are happening, and which we sense internally against our world model, distinctly from when we get input signals about them.

NACS standard is the biggest thing. It's got the best infrastructure, so it's good for consumers (lots of places to charge quickly), good for manufacturers (can sell cars with simple charging solutions), and good for Tesla (able to sell electricity at a premium).
Yes! I've experienced this a few times before, like a meta-déjà vu. It is a really uncomfortable feeling.
There seems to be a lot of potential for efficiency gains in models where a much smaller model can achieve the same results. On the other end computing hardware always gets faster and GPU size/performance has been growing exponentially for a good long while.

Local inference is quite inevitable.
If every company started doing this, their lawyers hair are going to catch fire. This is sooooo amazing and kudos to tesla for leading the way!!
well theoretically you could argue the structure of this task should have 'dual control' / multiple people should be involved in the process checking each others work. preferably even split it up people who do not know or interact with each other on a regular basis. yes it would be slower but its important to get it correct.

might as well throw in some automated poke-yoke or whatever too.

in that case there is no fault in any of the juniors or operators, the fault is in management for failing to implement infrastructure to force a critical process to have more than one control

> Derives from consciousness being actually a slow integration of diverse parallel processes.

Yes. I might rephrase to highlight possibility that consciousness is a form of recursive self-control of the relative timebases of those many parallel, and only roughly synchronized neural processes.

Modulating relative synchrony (parasynchrony) may be as important in cognition and consciousness as the number of spikes per time window.

One of the big challenges in consciousness research is the binding problem across systems.

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

Binding may be explainable by multiplexing and manipulating a set of quantal temporal offset strata spaced a few milliseconds apart from each other. Binding, attention, and even consciousness may involve a set of recursive attentional proceses that shift and shunt active neuronal subcircuits into different temporal offset tiers. A few milliseconds one way or another may be the difference between attending or ignoring a stimulus or proto-thought.

An inexact metaphor: imagine a set of adjacent radio channels swapping content to be closer or farther apart in frequency. Neighboring channels snap together if content harmonizes, giving rise to vibrant voice and music. If not, then only low level signal or noise.

The recursive modulation of thalamocorticothalamic activity across “chosen” subsets of circuits may be what Douglas Hofstadter was hinting at towards the end of Gödel, Escher, Bach (p 709; Strange Loops as the Crux of Consciousness). What I am adding is the probable CNS circuitry and the idea of temporal multiplexing—-a common theme in both analog and digital processor design and computing.
There was less automation and as far as I recall, none of us had "branches" -- everyone worked on a local trunk and everything would diverge rapidly. I wasn't working professionally at the time (I was 11-13), so I wasn't exactly up-to-date on the latest modern conveniences then either. :)

It was also much more difficult to figure out changes across multiple files with a single low-resolution (800 x 600 at the time, I think) monitor on a computer that could barely keep a few files open simultaneously.

Another big pain point was spending an hour or more downloading a patch (via dialup) only to realize that you needed other patches or files before you could actually start working on anything, or that you'd downloaded the wrong file, etc.

So there were many little inconveniences that added up to make it tremendously painful (in my memories) compared to today's experiences.

Universities don't generate their operating budget on tuition alone. They need to use a mix of grantmaking, IP commercialization, investments, Federal tuition support, broadcast licenses, and (in UMich's case) some state government support to keep the lights on.

In UMich's case, the State of Michigan only covers 3% of the entire funding for UMich. The university needs to foot the bill for the remaining 97% on their own [0].

That's where endowments come in. By trying to be savvy with the rate of return on your endowment, you can create a self sustaining budget for your institution.

Also, UMich Ann Arbor's yearly budget is $10 Billion, but their endowment (aka their piggybank) is only $17 Billion. If they raided their piggybank, they could only keep the lights on for 2 years at most.
