What makes sense to me is that consciousness is not an emergent property but a core of all things, with the additional property that is replicative/additive. That is smaller consciousness's can form larger consciousness's.

As to what it is, or why it exists at all, I don't think there will ever be answer to that. It just is.

Its definitely a strange thought, but it seems more likely to me than neurons or whatever other brain matter somehow produce consciousness out of thin air as soon as they some level of composition.

Pure materialism also seems very ill defined to me. The physical world is after all only observable/detectable/can be studied upon, through conscious experience. At best we can say what is real is what is universally agreed upon by all observing conscious agents. If hypothetically there were only two of us, and I said "There is no ball in front of us" and you said "There is", then what is the meaning of physical true/reality?

You can say lets use a detector. But then again, if I experienced the detector as saying false and you said its true, what do we do?

It seems unavoidable that reality is a part of conscious experience, and not the other way around.

I think there is a good question here but what even is a "DevOps" founder founding? Maybe a platform of tools to help facilitate devops, or a consultant? Not sure if that is the question.

Yeah, I noticed while writing Typescript that it was suggesting `String` above `string`. In Javascript and Typescript, there are almost no situations where `String` is the correct thing to use, so this choice surprised me.

I tried it out today, and in all fairness it is a very attractive and pleasant-to-use editor, but it felt like it was missing a lot of the little details. Things like suggestion order, or being able to open terminals side-by-side, or showing quickly where all the type errors are in my project or even a single file.

The collaboration tools sounds really neat, but unless I can convince colleagues to use it with me, I don't have anyone to collaborate with! For that, the little details are hugely important.

That said, it looks and feels wonderful, it's a very elegant tool.

> Do you expect people the entire world over to have a Rolodex of fairytales that used to be told in your country?

Well no, I don't expect that of most people. I do however expect those who claim to refute an idea to show slightly less than complete and utter ignorance of the idea they claim to refute.

I wouldn't trust a fool who tried to tell me water wasn't wet because sand in the desert is made of silicon. Likewise I won't trust someone who can't turn on a computer to tell me why my code is broken.

> So?

Well, it's basically the same as above - I can tell you are quite sure of yourself. However I can't reach the same level of surety about anything you say about souls, since you clearly don't even have a basic understanding of the concept. You may even be right, but I prefer to form my opinions from a place of knowledge rather than ignorance (no matter how aggressively confident that ignorance is).

I was just trying to help you make your point somewhat intelligible to other people who dislike arguments from ignorance.

> A new version of Safari shipped 17 times in the last 28 month

> Yes, not as frequent as monthly releases, but Apple shipped 7 Safari updates on iOS in 2023.

That's a very recent change: prior to 2022 Apple had far fewer updates to Safari on both macOS and iOS - and still witholds Safari updates from older iOS versions - for example, there was only 1 macOS Safari update per year between 2008 and 2015, and only 2 updates per year from 2015 to 2022; while things were just as sparse on iOS.

> Is iOS going to be sending data to apple on each app installed even people sideloaded it?

What Apple is implementing isn't sideloading at all -- it's enabling third-party app stores that will track everything the same way Apple's store does, and using Apple's newly provided APIs.
So I’ve got to ask, is malicious compliance a real actionable legal theory or is it just something that has been written about but never prosecuted?

It reads like one of those buzzwords that doesn’t actually mean anything useful in a the context of a court of law, at least as a prosecutable offense, but gets talked about like it does, because the statement itself reads like an oxymoron. You’re either compliant with the law or you’re not, and malicious is subjective. Am I off base by saying that? What am I missing?
Starting is easy. I don't think the parent you replied to was talking about that procedural part of it. The parent is weighing working for someone or starting a newco.

Also it's a completely different ballgame when you build a company that has employees versus an app.

We don't know what path the parent was talking about or what their business would be. We don't know their financial position.

Regardless, it's hard to build a successful business. Especially on your first attempt.
Ah so their new tactic is to try to scare everyone into not using the new things they’re forced to enable. Guess that’s all that’s left.

Would you prefer that the manufacturer lets it fly while it is not safe like the Mad Dog? That’s exactly what gliders go through, every 3000 hours they get a complete check of the structure, if it can’t be repaired or are too expensive to repair, they get scrapped… I don’t know why do you think it’s a hot take when that’s standard practice.

Nope, not at all. This is enabling third-party app stores. Nothing like sideloading at all.

As a tangent, I have this same complaint about how regex are perceived, except the situation is even worse. At least SQL is actually designed, standardized and somewhat readable. In comparison the familiar regex syntax has been organically brewing, from simple kleene star to the impenetrable linenoise it is today, with no rhyme or reason. I know there has been some movement to create new regex languages[1] but like PRQL they are very niche.

Which is more or less the easiest part of the game to learn, and one which pretty much anybody will have down after one or maybe two games.

It's a clever little idea to share on Twitter but in practice I think it would make the board slower to read for advanced players, because so many pieces look similar.
You've argued that ugliness is a solution while the problem that needs to be solved is ugliness. You can't have it both ways, either it's a solution, then don't call it ugly as hell, or it's ugly, then not a solution (or it is but that means you ignore that ugliness is the problem)

I really enjoy the chiclet keyboard on my T14s g2.

> Though Neu was criminally charged by former District Attorney George Gascón in 2016 with 17 criminal counts, these charges were dropped after the Sheriff’s Office allegedly destroyed evidence in the case; in one instance, an investigator’s laptop was smashed with a hammer, purportedly due to a virus.

Was the virus the kind that infects your brain, makes you delirious, and start smashing things with a hammer? /s

But seriously, if someone cost the tax payers $280,000, why should you re-hire them? The allegations here are so disturbing. If any other kind of employee did anything half as bad, they would be fired without a second thought, whether they were convicted or not, whether they were in a union or not. I can't think of a single other union or industry where employees have this much power to remain on the job.
The marble question is good. For most purposes I'd say the bimetallic strip (one connected to an actuator at least) is more intelligent than a marble. Studying dynamics of internal properties of the termostat is more fruitful than of the marble that is easy to describe as an unchanging object.

Taken to the logical conclusion, we are all just rolling downwards to a minimum energy state just like the marble.

I don't think intelligence is an intrinsic, let alone binary, property of an object or a system.

ah! Good catch. I missed that the alternative terms were opt-in.

If you are a new business starting after this goes into effect, are you presented with the choice of business terms?
Of course you can. But you have to distribute it through Apple's App Store, using the existing terms which aren't going away. Then there's no core technology fee.

Today, we are releasing an updated GPT-4 Turbo preview model, gpt-4-0125-preview. This model completes tasks like code generation more thoroughly than the previous preview model and is intended to reduce cases of “laziness” where the model doesn’t complete a task.

The new GPT-4 Turbo is intended to reduce laziness. I'm updating aider's existing laziness benchmark now.

EDIT: Preliminary results are up.

Overall,
the new `gpt-4-0125-preview` model does worse on the lazy coding benchmark

It’s really not. And a rather ironic choice of words given that mild autism can sometimes make one emphatically logical and “ordered” in how they think. This makes it harder to grasp weird, squishy concepts like language and emotion. So it’s common for autistic children to have language delay and difficulty picking up on social cues.

The more random, disorderly brain of the “typical” person is simply more predisposed to navigating the society made for “typical” persons.

> The definition of disability is impairing one or more major life function.

A supplemental framing I've heard is that most of the obstacles that disabled people have to work around are obstacles that society can remove. If all of those obstacles were removed, then the disabled person would be enabled, because that person would be able to live, shop, work, and travel just as other "abled" people can. For example, in the case of people who need wheelchairs, removing the physical obstacles would include designing sidewalks with ramps, buildings with elevators, public buses with wheelchair lifts, and home staircases which can support wheelchair lifts. There are also social obstacles, such as social and employment stigma against people with wheelchairs. Some possible interventions might not be socially or economically realistic everywhere, but perfect doesn't have to be the enemy of better.

For deaf people, restoring hearing using gene therapy removes one obstacle.
Restoring hearing with digital devices (that the user can find support for if the manufacturer goes out of business) removes an obstacle. Another (partially collective) intervention would be adding closed captions (and possibly sign language interpreting) to as many videos as possible.

> So. If they have that culture, is it bad for them to celebrate that they can share in it with their children?

Perhaps "celebrate" is more like "be relieved" that the children will temporarily lack a distraction - spoken language from neighbors, should hearing restoration methods become widespread - from learning to communicate with the deaf parents. Well, that's too strong of an assumption for me to make: a better assumption would be that the deaf parents are relieved that their born-deaf children will be more likely to understand their parents' experiences. Consider immigrants whose biological children don't become fluent in their respective parents' first language. It's not as if immigrants would prevent their children from learning the predominant language of the city they settled down in. Likewise, I find it unlikely that a deaf parent would actively impede a non-deaf child from learning spoken language.
Tbh my mom doesn't even understand how to install an app from the app store. And she comes running for everything that she is not used to.

However I do not think it is Apple's responsibility or right to be the guardian here.

A simple example is, I go to the fridge because I am hungry.

Sure, there are deeper reasons for my voice is what it is, but thats something else entirely.
