It depends on your goal. If all you care about is getting stuff done? I'd agree with your position.

But when that's all I care about, I don't ask that question. To me, the question of "consciousness" matters in, and only in, scenarios where the inner world matters, which is why I use that for my definition of "consciousness":

1. If I uploaded my brain, would that be a fork of my consciousness that would survive the death of my physical body? Tautologically only if it's "conscious".

2. Are the AI we make and use suffering a fate worse than the actual slaves in the Caribbean who invented the term "zombie" out of a fear that their masters would force them to keep working after death? Only if they're "conscious", and even then possibly not (suffering is an extra question to be asked once consciousness is determined).

I'd kinda like to get my brain uploaded, but there's no point if it's not a continuation of my consciousness.

I'd like to use a super-smart AI to solve my problems, but not if doing so involves creating minds that exist only for a few seconds before being destroyed.
Is there a RIF.ai model yet? That alone would be worth a few hundred Billion.

I agree the seller tools have become shockingly unusable. I’ve resorted to using the mobile app just to keep track of orders.

Did we read the same article?

I saw no mentions of volatile aromatics(aka the flavor and aroma compounds) and how they isolated them in different strains. I saw no mention of what genetic markers are tied to specific flavor profiles.

I did see a lot about disease and pest resistance. My glib comment is how the title seems to have fuckall to do with flavor (which, again, is affected predominantly by the terroir, or more specifically the mineral/chemical uptake of plants in a similar region) as the article is just run of the mill “people in a commercial industry and doing science to understand their product, isn’t that neat?” content.
It's not the same. You expect that the other team will score with so many possessions remaining.

And when they do, they will be able to capitalize on the information gained from your 2 point attempt.

In terms of expected value, 2 point conversion attempts are roughly par with extra points, though with so few scoring events in the game you would expect large variance.

So outside of scenarios where it is pure upside (1 point doesn't matter without many more scoring events) teams will opt for the lower variance outcome. This matches practice pretty well IME.

Hey now, Google is going to use these technologies to fire their own employees to save costs for the next quarterly earnings call!

Of course building products for actual users is no longer a “thing”, but think of the stock price.
The legal definition of bribery though is:

> Bribery refers to the offering, giving, soliciting, or receiving of any item of value as a means of influencing the actions of an individual holding a public or legal duty.

Scientific journals are not public institutions (though maybe they should be) so their editors aren't holding public duty. Legal duty also seems a stretch, though maybe possible depending on how the editor's contracts are worded. I suspect they don't say very much detail on job responsibilities though.

So immoral, and stuff many companies and institutions consequently have policies against, but doesn't seem illegal.
> The nose wheel of a Boeing 757 ... operated by Delta Air Lines popped off and rolled away as the plane was lining up for takeoff...

Sounds like Delta's maintenance folks need to re-take Lug Nuts 101. The last Boeing 757 was built almost 20 years ago - so any "the factory failed to build it right" theories probably won't fly.
Thanks for your addition. I understand that you do not need a permit, but you do need to make clear that the camera is needed for some security reason. I think that many people who buy a doorbell camera are not doing that for a security reason and probably do not have a good security reason, but just install it because it is handy, for example, to talk with people delivery goods or answer strangers ringing the bell without having to leave the living room.
This isn't really true.

You get lots of people living on boats because housing is expensive (like my mother and stepdad).

You do get plenty of "crusty" boat people, but generally they keep themselves to themselves.

Maybe this is because people on boats are often in public and accessible places, where people will quickly complain.
You can't tell if there's a port or not, e.g. http://2001:db8::1:8080/. Is that 2001:db8::1 or 2001:db8::1:8080?
What else can we do with the Web Audio API?
Leave it to hackernews to somehow find a way to badmouth Tesla for actually having a fantastic bug bounty program, and taking security seriously enough to sponsor multiple pwn2own events and other security challenges.
Face it, Tesla has some of the best security practices in the industry, straight up.
> I have seen no evidence that all 2-point conversions aren't equally likely to succeed

Pass plays are less likely to convert than run plays. The conversion rates aren't even equal between teams.

We're in a strange situation.

Microsoft is "back" and "doing better" -- everyone agrees. There is some basis for this perception. From a developer's or enthusiast's perspective, it has done some things to build goodwill, like developing VSCode and WSL. From an investor's perspective it has made some good acquisitions, like those of GitHub and OpenAI.

But from a customer's perspective, its software is the worst it's ever been. Windows is full of ads. Office is bloated. Everybody says Teams is especially bad.

So when people "root" for a company, and say it's "doing well", like a sports team, what do they mean? Are they talking from the perspective of an investor? Of an employee? Of a customer?

I worry sometimes that we put on our investor hats and cheer on companies for increasing their stock prices, when it's at the expense of customers, and we are ourselves those customers.
The issue is that a coach going for 2 in the first quarter and lose because of it will look very bad and the media will always look at those and ask why you didn’t go for easy 1. Coaches aren’t gonna put their job on the line to look cute

Hate is a strong emotion, seemingly irrational, but you cannot eradicate it without finding its source. Sit with the hate, define it, trace it to understand where it stems from, and you might learn why do you feel such a strong emotion for a programming language, and, more importantly, you might learn about yourself.

There is no deprogramming hate without understanding it first.
Being able to remotely disable the heating on freezing days in this person's car is probably more than enough justification, etc.
> Which means the theory that it will do it simply because of the "selection pressure" is empirically wrong.

Again, this is not true. We have empirical evidence that life on Earth began as soon as it could. And the universe doesn't spontaneously do things as you're wishing it to do to support your argument.

> Let's say a huge asteroid sterilized Earth 100 years ago. What could the life do to outcompete that?

That doesn't negate anything. Entropy increases over time. Given the various conditions available in the universe, its processes follow that directive relevant to their conditions.
> ...the Bucs would eventually lose because Coach Todd Bowles forgot to use his final timeout.

Is this intended to be tongue-in-cheek? Reading such a statement (which logically implies that "if Todd Bowles had used his final timeout, the Bucs would have won") in a post about how other people's reasoning is insufficiently rigorous is off-putting.

All those sites you mention work with IPv4 just fine. When you shut off IPv4 in favour of IPv6 you shut off access to probably 70% of the Internet. Let's see what happens when you don't enable IPv6? Oh nothing... that's right, the Internet will remain working just fine. There's very little incentive to support IPv6 when all that is required to connect to the Internet is IPv4. Which comes to the fundamental issue with the deployment and transition with IPv6, it will always remain a second class citizen until we no longer need to rely on IPv4.
Coffee brewed a few degrees of temperature apart tastes fairly different to me. I get annoyed by people who say the difference in taste must be in your imagination. It's like color blind people saying you must be imagining the difference in red and green colors.
> undermines the whole life lesson about the power of counter culture

The big 'life lesson' you learn if you study counterculture is that pretty much every big counterculture figure was a 'trustafarian' or from - at the very least - a tidy upper-ish middle class family.
Strictly speaking, temporal logic does not so much 'depart' from FOL. It's a modality, hence like other modal logics it can be viewed as a restriction of full FOL (where the domain of discourse can be seen as some notion of 'possible worlds') with some desirable properties such as better computational tractability.
That's pretty much how most of these methods work. It just doesn't work very well because good models have a reasonable probability of generating lots of different texts. So you don't get very different numbers on AI and Human generated texts. After all the models are trained to learn the probability distribution of exactly Human text.
It means we as a society value the wrong things. The planet is simultaneously on fire and underwater and we’re wasting literal and figurative energy on useless cryptographic puzzles and misleading auto-corrects, all in the name of getting rich fast(er). Hey, as long as the line goes up, right?

Related: Any parents out there, a fantastic way to show kids not to put their fingers in doors is to put a carrot in there, close the door so it breaks, and (at the right emotional level for your kid) show shock and horror that this happened. The demo seems to convey it better than telling/informing them of this danger.
I think you'd have to provide that out-of-distribution data in the prompt of course - it's not clear these models have built large world models of facts like some of the larger LLMS need to, they are figuring out how things move. Most of the time people have pearly whites to show in the dataset, and there are no videos of Washington's mouth, so I would expect that to be the default unless prompted with a detailed description of the dentures you are looking for.
Allegedly, it depends if the card can clock down the memory. My 7900 XTX still goes to ~100W when I have two 1440p monitors at high refresh rate, purely based on how many pixels it pushes.

Likely the latter. It's a failure of the state that has people in custody that these things happen with such regularity that there are jokes about it and that those perpetrating it and those enabling it are not dealt with. Guards all the way up to the warden of the prison have a responsibility towards the inmates.
They changed something recently, now I'm no longer able to browse Github using their web based file viewer for both individual files and directories using my SeaMonkey 2.53.18.1[0], released just 9 days ago.

How are the course sells going?
In what way does this shift the responsibility, specifically?

The responsibility here is clearly still on Boeing. But when it comes to public communication, no one trusts Boeing right now, so it makes sense to highlight the involvement of a governing body that is not Boeing.

I realize there are major issues with the FAA/Boeing dynamic right now, but if the Alaska Airlines CEO instead said “We’re following Boeing’s lead in this matter”, I don’t think that would be an improvement.
> It was true on my demographic at that time.

Haha. It's true of webdev now, but I irrationally rejected that advice as hard as I could. Made job search more difficult. But, ever since I learned C, I felt that, if I can't "low level" program, I'd rather not program at all. >:]

Inb4 C is a high level programming language.

And it paid off: I now work with like-minded nerds and tech I'm passionate about. (As opposed to anything web-related, which gives me some kind of ineffable dysphoria for a multitude of reasons, some scrutable and some not.)
If the right decision isn't obvious to everyone in the room, including the least experienced person in the room, you don't have enough data to make the decision. You should break, get thr data, and regroup when you have the data to make thr proper decisions.

Data driven decisions.
> Maybe you do, I don't. Especially not for a vehicle that can kill me (or others).

I will jump on that bandwagon the day there is a remote, no physical access needed exploit that can intervene on brakes, steer or accelerator in a connected car. Until that happens, I will keep my opinion that advantages are bigger than disadvantages.
> Maybe DTF and LIKE need to be orthogonal options

This is why I really liked the idea mentioned in the article where you swipe up to indicate like/date and down to indicate primarily sexual interest.

I strongly suspect many humans would be better off with more clarity up front in such things.
Now do it the other way around - write a complex project using MicroPython while being conscious about memory allocations, because mark-and-sweep GC takes 200ms (6 frames at 30 FPS budget) to go through 8MB of SPI PSRAM. It's a nightmare that makes you cry for C :)
I've never used my phone for an archive.is link until your comment; I just clicked on the one above your comment on my phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max with yesterday's iOS 17.3 update).

What I got is vertical ads in the upper right and left hand columns and an ad below the article text, each of the three changing on their own to new ads after 15-20 seconds.

As I scrolled down to read the story, new ads appeared; at no time was any of the text obscured.

I never got a CAPTCHA.

"Bug out bags" make way more sense if you live in an area where there's volcanic activity. Nobody is going to fuck around going to some deposit box, and no employer in their right mind is going to keep staff working in a disaster zone. Besides, good luck coaxing people to stay in an area where they might get burnt or suffocated.
> This program patches Explorer in order to accomplish its enhancements, and apparently one of its patches went awry

The fact this is possible is the clowniest thing! Why would a major system component allow "extensions" to run without a sandbox and modify its code?
They could have mandated stronger security. Wouldn't even 2FA have avoided this issue? Or even some even stronger measures like enforcing use of hardware security keys.
Yes and no. I mean, just because something gets indexed doesn't mean Google values it and is willing to expose its customers to it.

The consistent problem with SEO is that most SEOs don't understand Google's business model. They don't understand Google is going to best serve its customers (i.e., those doing the search). SEOs (and their clients) need to understand that getting Google to index a turd isn't going to change the fact that the content and the experience i'ts wrapped in is still a turd. Google is not interested in pointing its customers to turds.
Yup, its up there with the hack that turned turn hard drives into microphones: it sounds super scary until you see the practical limitations in action. They need access to your screen before even attempting to, slowly, build up a picture of your hand hovering over the phone. Its like watching them screem at the hard drives in order to get a faint peep out of the microphone.
This isn't capitalism, it's human nature.
Brilliant name, if you think about it. If they ever decided to start doing shady shit, they'd have a perfect legal shield. No one would be able to convincingly argue in court that they were being duplicitous.
"Especially not for a vehicle that can kill me (or others)."

I wonder how the conversation would change if it were a plane and not a car. Seems like both Tesla and Boeing are having similar quality control issues.

"I personally would not use the products my company sells for anything important."

I feel like most products today are not meant to be important. Most seem to be about convenience with the design thought of "if it breaks they can just do it manually", even if that's not always applicable. Or people forget how to do it on thier own like without blind spot detectors or backup cameras.

Imagine a hack that randomly disables blind spot detectors or freezes/replays backup cam footage? A whole generation would have severe issues because they trust it.
There's a bunch of different PKI-style schemes, most of which don't require trusting a single central authority. I thought KeyBase's approach struck a good balance between authentication strength & ease of use, maybe something like that could be a good fit.

The incentive would be for online platforms, especially social media, to remain a place people want to be and can have some measure of trust in, rather than be overrun by deepfake-style content.
Euler's wikipedia page has one of the most casually jawdropping sentences I've ever read about a human being: "Euler's work averages 800 pages a year from 1725 to 1783. He also wrote over 4500 letters and hundreds of manuscripts. It has been estimated that Leonard Euler was the author of a quarter of the combined output in mathematics, physics, mechanics, astronomy, and navigation in the 18th century."

A quarter of all the output in so many fields. For a whole century. When you think about everyone else who was contributing to science at that time. It's just completely staggering.

Interesting. I’ve tried macOS and OpenBSD and they both require using ping6 to ping IPv6 addresses. I wonder if FreeBSD changed this recently or if it was always that way. Regardless, macOS is the elephant in the room here as it’s a lot more popular than any of the (other) BSD’s.

No, it's not tongue-in-cheek but it's oversimplifying the situation. The Bucs might have been able to win if they had used their last timeout. It sounds like the coaching staff were morons and couldn't count to 3. However, they were given an extra timeout due to an unusual situation, and it seems that the coaches were either unaware of the extra timeout or forgot about it.

> That's a lot of money and time to spend on supporting someone else's bug-riddled software. You can't test literally all software that exists before you release a security patch.

Microsoft has been pushing telemetry for how long? I would think they would have a good idea of what to test so that p99 their software works for their customers.

But it depends on the severity of the security issue fixed. If it's a big deal, you push it and let telemetry dictate your future hotfixes. If it's not a big deal, you do your internal testing, then push it through external testing, and see what telemetry picks up (hey!)

> Just imagine testing every single solitary Windows application that exists, or has every existed, just to see if one of them crashes due to intentionally doing the wrong thing. What are they supposed to do, fix the 3rd party software? Delay fixing the security hole?

Microsoft made its business on "where do you want to go today?" Not "you're holding it wrong"

If windows and the 3rd party software worked before a windows update and doesn't after the windows update, that's Microsoft's problem because it reduces acceptance of updates. One way forward is to fingerprint the broken application and not do the update if it's active, another way is to prevent it from running after the update. Either of those allow unaffected users to get the update and get on with their life. Once the application is identified, Microsoft can work with them to update their software to do things right, and then figure out how to get users updated.

I've been a user of desktops where the OS developer clearly doesn't care about continuity for users, and Windows feels more and more like that. It's not pleasant, and if I can't be assured what works today will work tomorrow, that leads to delaying updates which is bad for business.

No, you don't need a licence to pilot a boat on most inland waters in the UK (there may be exceptions on busy commercial stretches).

It would not be complicated to get a boat, assuming you have the money. You basically need to buy a boat, pay for the relevant licences, make sure the boat has the correct safety certificate, and off you go.

You cannot just stop and tie up anywhere. You either need some private land where you will keep the boat, or you need to make sure you don't violate the rules of the public areas. There is a concept of "continuous cruising", which means you need to move on every 14 days (I think).

Anyway, not complicated, but requires a bit of homework. Easiest if you can find a mentor who is already boating in the UK to help you out.
