This is an hypothesis. Of course, it is obvious that a lot of what human/animals are and do can be explained or described by physical processes. But there is the "hard problem of consciousness", to which no one has a satisfying answer.

I feel sarcasm in your last paragraph, but it feels rather dishonest, in the sense that you voluntarily use rather crude and ridiculous formulations, as if it was the only alternative. But there is some arrogance in thinking that we, smart as we are, finally got the final answer about one of the hardest questions in philosophy and metaphysics. Materialism is not proven: it is a basic methodological assumption of modern science - meaning that we do not have the tools to either prove or disprove it. Newton, Gödel and lots of other renowed scientists are knowed to have opposed materialism. Let's accept that the question is open.

On this topic, I always recommend reading the report of the Galileo Commission, which is a manifesto by a wide range of scientists and philosophers to reduce the stigma associated with even questioning this fundamental dogma.

I just assume all science communication is bad. (I think we are at that point)

Instead I keep a corral of trusted communicators on X. Since I’ve vetted them I can trust their takes a bit more.

Edit: since people seem to be interested. As a practical example, when that latest high temp super conductor news came out I immediately had two or three different deep dives on my feed with balanced takes and solid explanations.
Thanks! That rules them out completely

I'm not disagreeing with you, and I don't think you're contradicting me either. The dosage is usally the culprit.

However, some things are more addictive than others, and some people are more prone to being addicted to different types of substances.

It's simple as that, but it doesn't always make it easy. YMMV.
Dive is incredible, it saved my butt numerous times and taught me a lot about layers. It's so good that Docker Desktop emulated its functionality.
It seems kind of obvious that CGI can’t be ‘slow’ in modern terms.

We were serving hundreds of hits per second on 200MHz web servers in the late 90s. Everything is _so much faster_ now that surely the performance must be acceptable nowadays?
There’s other great TUI terminal tools like dive here [0], lazydocker and dry come to mind.

And some in the docker category as well:

My threads feed started OK at launch but now is a wasteland of pointless rage bait and r/antiwork style content. I'm sure it's popular but it's not what I want to read.

On X I get mostly informative ML and robotics content. Of course it took some curation and liberal use of the "Mute Words" feature to get there. But I just don't think that content is there on Threads.

My go-to example of why I don't like what's happening on Threads is Jeff Bezos's last post: https://www.threads.net/@jeffbezos/post/CyFInFjrRxs/?igshid=... The replies are an absolute cesspool. Everything people used to accuse Twitter of being and more.
The amount of force created when something hits the ground at terminal velocity depends on its mass, which varies with the cube of its size (with additional effects because it's not a cube or sphere). The amount of cross-sectional area over which this force is exerted varies with the square of its size. So when a small object hits the ground, that's a lot less force per cross sectional area than when a large object hits the ground. You'd expect the iPhone to take proportionately less damage than a person even not considering that it also has a smaller terminal velocity.

The difference is during a regular meeting, the skin is uncut. The skin is a major protection against diseases and the body has a bunch of mechanisms at its regular openings (nose, ears, etc) to protect you.

When you cut through someones skin, you bypass one of the major first lines of defense. Therefor surgeons reduce the risks, for a similar reason why clean their tools before use.
I think it is more than just a negotiation tactic. Spending controls drive prioritization within socialized health systems. You cant spend "whatever it takes" for each person.
> Do you think companies randomly decide merge? Do you think antitrust investigations are random? The SEC flips a coin every morning?

Of course not. But the people that can actually gain from such knowledge presumably aren’t able to use it to make decisions on whether to buy or sell stock. That’s the opposite of the position casinos are in.

I’ll just echo the original comment you replied to in this chain:

iOS has “Attention Aware” features but these features don’t account for atypical use cases like when I’m running some persistent app that needs foreground use (like a firmware update on an IoT device) that I can’t be bothered to stare at.
Apache’s mod_fastcgi’s last commit was 2 weeks ago:

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/

It’s a fork of what you linked (and was more popular afaik back when fastcgi was state of the art, and apache was the undisputed champion of web servers).

These days, nginx has more market share than apache, and its fastcgi module is one of the more recently updated ones in its source tree (5 months vs multiple years):

https://github.com/nginx/nginx/tree/master/src/http/modules

If I was going to build an embedded web server, I’d start with nostd rust, probably with though axum + tokio, since thats already memory safe-ish.

If I needed fastcgi for some reason (dynamically loadable endpoints, or os-level isolation), there are at least four implementations of fastcgi for it. No idea if any are decent though.
Heh, poke bowls are already $20 where I live. Maybe we should make them $30 or $40 and save the fish.

I think your frustration is reasonable. The telcos are favoring major marketing companies by unreasonably imposing big biz requirements on small biz and indy devs (through platforms like Twillo)

That bad UX is being supplied by The Campaign Registry org.

I do recall Twillo performing TCR's tasks in the beginning (applications, registration, etc) but only until TCR was spun up. It's all on TCR now.

That’s a good analogy for my point, because just having a lottery ticket isn’t extraordinary even though all of the tickets are unique.

If somebody claims they are holding a winning lottery ticket and will sell it to me for a 50% discount because they are leaving the country in two hours and don’t have time to cash it out, that’s an extraordinary claim and I would need extraordinary evidence to take the deal.

If someone says their name is Mark Wu, it’s like saying they are holding a non-winning lottery ticket with serial number 12345654321. It’s at best a curiosity.
The Open Internet Is Dead; Long Live the Open Internet
I had pretty much forgotten most of those things had existed. I see someone has sneakily added ActivityPub to the end of the list on wikipedia in 2021, retroactively giving them a success.

I assume there are pockets of existence for these things but for the most part the only time the majority of people encounter anything under the semantic web umbrella is where it has influenced html. It's a tomato is a fruit or vegetable thing, it is technically fruit but to most people it is effectively a vegetable.

There are a lot of pilots “waiting in the wings” at smaller carriers, currently being paid peanuts, to get nice cushy jobs at major carriers with union protections who won’t mind having their voice recorded and stored for 24 hours while on the job behind the yokes.

Wait. What? The instruction pointer incremented as an LFSR and not a binary counter to save on transistors? That is the craziest thing I've heard. But also kind of awesome. Digital designers of the ancient era were masters of the crazy-awesome.
We won't need 100% effectiveness and 100% compliance. If they only work at 10% effectiveness, then over a network of thousands, they will measurably save lives.

Studies have shown they work (such as https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33483277/), despite the 'ah, yes but only [insert unsupported caveat here]' of some.
What do you mean? The cerebellum is closer to the spinal cord than the rest of the brains. And there's no learning happening anywhere but the brain, vertebrates don't have distributed central nervous system like octopuses do. The only thing vertebrate limbs can do on their own are certain hardcoded reflex actions.
If I could afford a career change it I'd be soooo tempted. The idea of being on the ground floor of implementing K on edge computing / "IoT" for construction automation is really interesting.
A startup is a business, not a product. If you really created nine separate legal entities and file taxes separately for all nine, so be it, I guess this is nine startups. That seems like a bizarrely inefficient way to work, though. One startup that creates nine products makes more sense to me.

Gatekeeping is strong here.

Most apps do not need to be made by 10x developers who code in assembly.
I have Face ID enabled etc, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying. If I’m alone at home with the door locked, there is an infinitesimally small chance of any security issue that would render my device compromised. So realistically, I’m accounting for my own sanity + convenience here.
Another important candidate are shark fins. Not only are sharks of many kinds endangered, cutting of their fins and tossing the still living shark back in the ocean is especially cruel and wasteful.

But considering that most fish species are endangered and basically all of them are contaminated by plastic, there is good reason to avoid seafood altogether. Unless perhaps if you know that it has been fished sustainably from a local stable population. Which still wouldn't change the issues with the plastic.
How typical of PWAs that even a demonstration site, which should demonstrate the best that PWAs can be, has a glaring UX bug on iOS.

Namely: if you swipe from the sides of the screen to go back/forward, you get a duplicate animation. If you swipe back from B to A, once the native (interactive) slide animation finishes, the page then jumps back to B and then does another (noninteractive) slide animation to A.

Fixing this would be as simple as disabling the page's slide animation, but whoever made this site didn't notice or didn't bother.

Apple does have some blame here. Disabling the page's slide animation wouldn't be a perfect solution since it wouldn't distinguish slide gestures from other ways to go back/forward (which ideally would still show an animation), like using the browser's back/forward buttons if accessing the site in a browser rather than as an app, or using a keyboard shortcut with an external keyboard. I don't think it's possible to easily detect which kind of gesture triggered navigation (in order to conditionally show the animation).

Another option would be to disable the native slide gesture entirely in favor of a fully JS-based one. In the past it wasn't even possible to disable it, but that has been fixed for years now [1]. However, it's hard to exactly replicate the native behavior.

Ideally there would be a more purpose-built interface to detect and customize the native swipe gesture.

I can't. But could most people name Jeff, even in tech? I bet people in finance certainly know (and closely watch) the CEOs of these companies.

I did reword my comment though, because I don't agree Jeff is a "celebrity" as much as a "public" CEO.
Yes? If I claim my name is Tudor, many people will just believe me outright without checking my papers or anything - a non-extraordinar claim doesn't require extraordinary evidence. If I claim I am the Pope, people will want more evidence than my saying so.
You’re not wrong. But at this point Apple has buried EVERYTHING inside the share sheet.

Adding bookmarks, finding on the page, printing, triggering extension actions/scripts… it’s a junk drawer.

It’s not hard to explain to users at least. It certainly could’ve been much worse. Not high praise but it is what it is.
The remains went into orbit around the sun, as I understand, not a crash landing into the moon.
The main verb you are using here, "consume", means very different things when applied to humans and when applied to computers.

It's similar to how "an airplane flies like a bird". It does indeed fly, but it does not flap its wings.
lol, point taken, but your metaphor fell apart in the end.
The Case Against [unowned self]
The segment of people buying an SE want a compact, reliable phone and an affordable entry point into Apple's ecosystem (which includes iMessage, AirPods, Apple Watch, Mac, etc).

They are not obsessing about refresh rates of the displays nor does it really matter that much for their use-cases.

Even the latest and greatest iPhone 15 only has a 60hz display and it's totally fine (as sales, customer satisfaction, and reviews indicate).
How can you possibly have learned about this 3 minutes ago lol it's been the most significant political event in the world for months.
>What makes them attractive for companies?

We use Nvidia enterprise cards in our workstations.

The cost vs. a 4090 is irrelevant. We only care that our software is supported and that the amount of VRAM is sufficient.

I cannot emphasize enough how unimportant the ~$4,000 cost difference is when the workstation it is in costs double that, the engineer using it costs more than that each week, and the software running on it is tens of thousands of dollars per seat.

We have a three-year desktop refresh cycle so over three years once you total up all of the expenses for everything-- from the per-square-foot rent for the office to the software license costs to the salary of the engineer the price difference is not worth even thinking about.

edit: conversely, if there is anything that causes an issue, like the consumer version of the card not being supported by application we use, even if it is only unsupported because the vendor didn't bother testing it, and that leads to a back-and-forth with support while diagnosing a problem, that $4,000 becomes very relevant because you end up wishing you spent double that to avoid the distraction.
Very nice.

This clearly takes a lot of inspiration from LingQ, but fixes some of LingQ's more glaring challenges such as letting you use a real dictionary, instead of relying on definitions that were crowdsourced from other learners using the app. (And therefore full of quality problems an inaccuracies.) On the other hand, it sounds like some nice features aren't implemented yet, or maybe not even planned, so maybe LingQ is still a good option if you don't want to hassle with self-hosting a webapp or hunting down your own resources, and don't mind paying the subscription fee.

All in all, though, it looks very promising!
You’re correct. However I think they only get to use their app, maybe they also get a short tour.

Either way they’re under NDA so they won’t talk about it if they want to keep their developer account. They can say they went to one of the workshops and that’s basically it.

# Market caps:

The sum of the market cap of the first group of companies is ~2.068T USD, while the sum of the second group is ~2.270T.

And of course the CEO of Tesla is(?) allegedly the richest man in the world, which is one of the reasons why people know him. And I honestly don't remember the name of the CEO of Amazon since Jeff Bezos stepped down.
They might include that because they are hiring some people straight out of highschool.

Are you familiar with Language Reactor or Migaku? I think there are a couple others too. They're all implemented as browser extensions, but that works out pretty well because most content that's useful for language learning gets accessed through a browser these days, anyway.

Announcing LangChain v0.1.0
I've just discovered array/ matrix languages, and especially J. It's so a pleasure to use it. I struggle since a long time to use python or r for their mixed scalar/array style. K/J/apl are so clean and well designed in this regard.

For instance: Eratosthene's sieve to get all prime under 100 :
"
(-.] * /])2}.i.100
"
Another great property of J is his natural language like structure :

without =: -.

multiplied_by =: */

upto =: 4 : 'x}.i.1+y'

Sieve_100 =:
(2 upto 100) without (2 upto 100) multiplied_by (2 upto 100)
This describes pretty much every country on the planet right now.

I think the real distinction is that terrorists are non-state actors who use violence (bad). States are legally allowed to use violence (necessary).

But the common parlance of terrorist usually means "US designated terrorist" which really means "group we refuse to bargain with".

The Taliban were a terrorist group, now they are a government. The Iraqi army was a legitimate army, then many became ISIS, a terrorist group.
He lists two times. The initial reveal when Apple let some of the press use it, and after 17.2 was released when Apple let some of the press try spatial videos captured on their own phones.

That’s all Apple has let the press have, at least publicly. I’m sure they’ll be getting their review units soon. But right now those two times are all we have discussions from.

How would unionizing help stop a company from setting up an offshore subsidiary? It may prevent layoffs in the short term - but even with big3 auto manufacturers it hasn’t prevented a move in manufacturing to Mexico and Canada.

I think the solution here has to come from the federal government to explicitly increase sw development employment in the US. Just like we find ourselves in a bad place with scaling chip manufacturing, we will find ourselves hamstrung in sw dev.

I doubt unions can help here - except maybe pressure the government (and that too works mostly on democrats if at all).
Since crypto has crashed so much and most of these are borderline useless for AI/ML, there's not likely to be too much of an issue. The MSRP is already massively marked up.
> Why do you want to respect any wishes of people who believe in imaginary things?

I respect human beings regardless of their beliefs. Having "right thought" be the basis upon which you dole out respect doesn't sound particularly rational to me.

I'd actually argue that refusing to respect people due to differing beliefs is the root cause of much of the suffering we so often attribute to "a belief in the imaginary."
I don't know the specifics of these two CEOs, but those were two very different eras financially in the tech sector. To nail all of it on just a CEO's door feels reductive, at best.

>But tech hiring over the fourth quarter led to a small net growth in IT jobs for 2023. There were 21,300 IT jobs added in the quarter, a positive signal for increased tech hiring going into 2024, Janco said.

Hopefully, the uptick in hiring trend continues and things improve in 2024. The tech jobs market is indeed, pretty bad right now.
Animals like newborn deer fawns are born knowing how to walk, follow their mothers around, and run away from danger, although their legs are weak at first. So this makes me wonder if having to learn object permanence is just one more example of human babies being underdeveloped compared to those of other species of animals.

I want to note that this is also true for “managed” languages like Java and Python.

However, because these languages have a far heavier runtime than the “systems” languages, it is usually possible to trace them at the runtime level rather than the syscall level, and doing that will typically give a better experience.
