I don't think so. The point being that we can't tell whether we're having a "constant experience" or not, and we can't tell from that whether or not there's any time or no time, or punctuated time, nor can we for that matter tell whether consciousness requires any notion of time.

It's all pure speculation because we have no way of assessing it outside of our own frame of reference. E.g. I see you in another answer saying that "the fact is that all kinds of state changes happen", but we don't know if any state changes ever happen.

We have no way of telling a dynamic universe apart from a static one where we're all just suspended in a single unchanging moment.

We can choose to handwave a lot of this away ordinarily because as long as the experience is reasonably consistent it makes sense to assume it is objectively real, because we have nothing better. It doesn't matter if the world didn't exist a second ago when e.g. considering whether gravity work, because it appears as if it did.

But when trying to determine the nature of consciousness we run headlong into the fact our observation of consciousness is direct only in the case of ourself, and even then heavily limited. We have no direct measure that puts us in a position to prove consciousness even in other people. We can show that within our perceived world we can measure brain activity that correlates to though, but not whether that reflects merely the operation of an automata, or the existence of consciousness, or if there is a distinction at all.

As such, it's meaningless to suggest we have a way of saying much about the limitations of consciousness at all.

I've been wondering if an llm might be tuned to recognize insightful explanations that are accessible and powerful, to then help train one for creating such. Trying for an AI tutor that's less like drilling textbook bogosity and superficiality, and more like tutoring by that rare someone known for their outlier-deep understanding of a field. Even if an llm only manages to serve as a delivery mechanism for human curated insights, having a deployment story of very widespread impact might help motivate a novel-y broad contribution and curation effort.

Ideally AI and goal line technology should solve this. If the computer knows where the ball and all the players are at all time, then checking if the ball crosses the line or if anybody was offside leading up to the goal should be instant.
That's a bit harsh. It sounds a bit more like they are doing an experiment, roughly, and semi joking around. Like, 'look at all tye crazy things I did to this'.

I'm not sure were at the point of ai personhood where we start worrying about the computers feelings. By that logic server farms would be as bad as factory farms
Wrong interpretation. Others already pointed out the volume of items stolen but it I don't think that statistic points out who perpetrated the original crime. It makes sense, only a handful of individuals would be the ones break the train, anyone else around would certainly jump in the action.

Mounting an ext4 Linux USB drive on macOS in 2024
The article doesn't describe exactly how these work... I could see 2 potential designs:

Design 1:

A high thermal mass piece of porous material, which air flows in and out through the same holes. As air is exhaled, the material warms up. As air is inhaled, the material gives collected heat to the incoming air.

Design 2:

As above, but there are two sets of paths through the material. The paths are in a checkerboard pattern so there is good thermal conductivity between them. One set is for incoming fresh air and the other for used air. One way valves ensure air travels in the correct direction through each hole.

Design 1 is great for keeping both heat and moisture (air will be pre humidified on the way in). However, it has the downside that all of the air in the tubes will be re-inhaled in each breath. Effectively your lung capacity will be reduced by the volume of the mask.

Design 2 is more mechanically complex, gives you very dry air to breathe in, and will be prone to clogging with condensation, but has the advantage that you aren't rebreathing any CO2 laden air. And just 2% breathed back in causes "complaints of drowsiness and poor air"[1]

Where I can download those fonts from without installing Zed?
Exactly. I don't think I ever bought any software expecting to get updates for free. Bug fixes, if they break original functionality, yes, but not new versions that contain new features.

Getting updates and new features has traditionally been a perk of renting, and being able to continually use that software anyway you see fit 50 years down the road, on an ancient computer or in a VM is a perk of buying. Both have their merits.

I often see "free upgrades" thrown on top as bonus for buyers, especially by new software developers that really want to sell their software. I'd argue the customer's decision is not swayed by much either way free upgrades, but devs are putting a huge burden on themselves. What if sales go down for a year? You may prefer to explore making some other software instead, but now you have an obligation to offer free support to customers that bought your software 5+ years ago. That wouldn't work in any other industry. Try calling a plumber or an electrician that worked on your house 5 years later and ask them to fix problems for free... see how happy they will be to oblige :-)

This device looks very interesting as it's one step closer to Palm/Blackberry style devices with the keyboard. The design is pretty unique, it looks like a more squarish screen than what the e-ink phones usually have. I wonder if they might ever give Unihertz a call about collaborating on a keyboard phone.

I just bought the Onyx Boox Palma which is a phone-size backlit e-ink tablet (no keyboard, no SIM).

I think people would be surprised at how good the web browsing experience is on e-ink these days. The only thing that suffers a bit are dark color images. I've had many e-readers in the past and the slow refresh used to make general browsing impossible. Now, screens have multiple refresh rate settings, so using a higher one for the web browser app makes it much more usable.

I quite like Penrose-Hameroff's theory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGbgDf4HCHU

My best summary of it: consciousness is primal, every bit of matter has perspective, every interaction has experience, the body you're 'occupying' is having a particularly complex and long-lived experience.

As for your question of why this one, well, someone's got to be having this one. As for why not another, there's no saying 'you' won't have another 'after' this experience ends, but if 'you' had them in a perfectly undifferentiated way that'd be a different experience again, and as stated, someone's got to be having this one.

I have no opinion about measures to take or not, but what can be said is that this access to the markets was bought with industrial espionage, technology theft and questionable cooperation practices (cases where some company basically just changed owners overnight and kept all the workers and machines and so on).

All this was of course known, but knowingly or not, the Chinese played the westerners weakness perfectly: greed.
> Not really. It depends on the quality of the measure and any underlying assumptions. If the target is knowing who is the fastest then a simple stopwatch (measure) is 100% aligned with the target. So the measure becoming the target is completely fine.

I get your point but with this case the measure is the target, so at no point does the "measurement become the target", it's aligned from the start. But then again, this is only true if your measure is of people performing the task you actually care about. If you want to know the fastest person and you measure over 100m you may end up with Bolt, which is great if you need "the fastest over 100m in a sprinting setup" but not if you need the fastest over a full marathon.

In general, it's an extremely good first approximation - many measures result in poor targets, and care needs to be taken when turning a measure into a target. Even then it usually becomes a worse measure.

> The faulty assumption here was that the only way to hand in a rat's tail is by killing them.

More than that, it's an assumption that an increase in rat tails equals a decrease in live rats. Even if you kill a rat to get a rat tail, that doesn't necessarily hold true. It rewards those that breed 5 rats, release 4 and hand in the tail of 1. Killed rats would have still been a bad target. The true target was fewer live rats. Dead rats can be a reasonable measure, but as a target it has very risky outcomes.
It's my experience based on coding in Elixir, Julia and JS. Particularly for Elixir suggestion is getting worse and worse. I spent a lot of time to re-re-refine and re-ask a question. Buggy code.

As the article points out, Peterson's use of words does more to position himself as a pompous elite than to contend with them in some intellectual sense. It's also nonsense to say that no one repeats old conventional wisdom anymore. It's pervasive in everything from our fiction to other public speakers to kitschy little home decorations or memes on social media. Peterson doesn't differentiate himself by having the "bravery" to say cliches - this doesn't even make sense as a premise, they have to be pervasive to strike us as cliches. He differentiates himself through targeting culture war issues to build a rabid fanbase and using any press he can get to build a cult of personality, and plays a little bit of intellectual defense through the plausible deniability of obscurantism. That last bit is most of what the article is trying to say (though it really does do so in a way that is a bit hypocritically long-winded)

Some projects have varying licenses to extend their open source product beyond a bare bones system. Some companies pick "open core" license models which lock enterprise features behind a paywall.

For example a collaborative software text editor might require connections to a central database for synchronising the various users. The code to handle these connections might not be available, or at least heavily restricted through licensing from using in a business environment.

The SaaS company makes money by providing the infrastructure to allow users to actually collaborate with others. Until then it's simply a stand alone desktop text editor.

Alternatively the company may offer basic collaborative features which only support one 3rd party auth provider and synchronise via the public internet.

A customer might want on-prem networking only and Active Directory auth, and will pay for these features.

Probably even coincidental.

They're in no position to tell which one worked, or if only multiple changes worked, together only, but not individually, or even just random chance.

> Jordan Peterson is re-introducing some very true, but old ideas

The problem is that these "very true" ideas have gone out of fashion for a reason: they don't scale. It might all be well and good to say "be civilized or I'll kick the shit out of you" when you're trying to sort out a neighbourhood dispute; but when you scale them up to, say, foreign policy, you're just courting armageddon. Our world is getting bigger and bigger, trying to fit it into old ideological boxes is only going to generate more misplaced (literal) crusades.

The really good and true methodologies actually scale properly in every direction, but they're harder to dumb down.
> I do not see the selling point of BLIS-specific APIs

BLAS/CBLAS assumes your matrices are column-major/row-major. BLIS uses general stride instead (both columns and rows are parameterized by stride) which makes it more flexible on matrix storage and makes it easier to implement tensor contractions in higher dimensions.

This necessitates a different API.
