When I say "consciousness", the concept that I mean isn't reducible to other concepts. It's a concept that can only be found through introspection. And it seems like many have noticed the same concept, so we can label it with a word. But we can't define it such that someone who hasn't already noticed the concept will understand it. We can only describe it in such a way that those who already noticed it can confirm we're talking about the same thing. I think the parent's comment has done this adequately, and I don't think it's a problem that the definition is incomplete.

> I'm getting cold feet because of the money

Try this thought experiment:

Think of the best memories you have in the last 1-2 years.

Think of the best memories you had between 5-10 years ago.

I’m willing to bet that the “core” of all the memories/episodes you thought of was people and experiences. Family and great friends. Travel, parties, hobbies, whatever is your thing.

You did not think of money or things you bought. You did not think of a nice pay check.

Now, I’m not going full hippie here. Money is important, but only up to a point. If you have just enough money to do the things you like with friends and family, that’s all you need.

The job you really liked vs the high paying one is fun experiences vs pay checks/things. Pick the good experience b/c in 1 year, 2 years, 5 years you won’t remember the money.

Caveats: If you are very young 20-something and no kids or serious relationship, you should consider gunning hard for the money for a few years to build some investments that will help you, enable you, to take the pay cut when you get older and esp. when you have kids. If it turns out that you like the little suckers, future you may be eternally greatful to now you for laying down the foundation for future you to not worry that much about money and instead focus on kids, family, experiences.

> But its not like grid operators back in the control rooms are disconnecting solar farms because the grid is oversaturated. They instead tell the fossil fuel plants to reduce their burn rate.

Since we're being pedantic, as I understand it, the grid operators don't usually tell plants what to do (outside of system stress response, curtailment, etc), the grid operator shares the forecast, and when the price forecast is low, fossil fuel plants are likely tell the grid operator they'd rather shutdown than produce power at low/negative prices. For solar plants, there's no fuel cost, and there might be subsidies, so producing at a negative market price might still be positive for the generator and there's no reason to turn it off. For nuclear, fueling schedules don't really change based on use, so there's no reason to not provide optimum power outage other than for grid stability.

Grid scale storage should reduce price swings, since storage plants will tend to show up on the demand side when prices are low and the supply side when prices are high; although perhaps price swings will become bigger when prediction fails --- if storage fills up by noon you'll have a lot of excess supply until sunset; if storage empties by midnight, you may have a lot of excess demand until sunrise.
Lucid has so much Saudi money behind them that it’ll keep them afloat forever

Also, in biomedical research papers can get retracted if they can't show the subjects consented to have their samples (e.g. removed tumors) used in research even if the science itself is sound.
Technically apple-m4 is ARMv9.2a, but a quirk of LLVM defines v9.0 as requiring SVE, which is optional according to the Arm ARM and not supported by the core. ARMv8.7a is the next closest choice.

Hmm I wonder how this happened? I assume at least at one point SVE was such headline feature of 9.0 that LLVM assumed any 9.0 chip would have SVE even if it wasn't technically required?

The link doesn’t support the notion that we can’t describe why a bike is self-stable. On the contrary, it simply contradicts one popular explanation and offers another one. In fact the story is pretty easy to describe: there are oscillating forces acting on a bike that cause it to right itself. The oscillating forces just aren’t accurately described as gyroscopic, which was one of the previous proposals.

We don’t know that there is no “natural language” story and no analogies for either bikes or quanta, what we know is we have some analogies that don’t work. History is full of instances of things we had incorrect stories for, and then found better ones. We have no reason to believe that won’t happen for photons and electrons too.
> just once and it still forms a wave-like interference pattern

That's not a thing. There's no pattern to observe from a single particle.

The situation you're describing doesn't exist.

Wave behavior and interference patterns can only be observed in statistically significant collections of particle interactions. Not single interactions.
There was a Linux update that increased their power usage by about 25%, which put them over the daily power budget ; uptime dropped to 80% after that.
If you fire a single particle just once, you don’t get an interference pattern, right? You get a single impact.
I've done this a number of times -- leaving a job in order to take a lower-paying job somewhere else. Almost every time, it's been because the "somewhere else" was doing something I specifically had a great interest in, or that involved a skill I wanted to learn.

However, I have engineered my living situation in order to make doing that pain-free and easy. The main rule is: don't get used to having a high income. If you actually incorporate a high income into your life, then taking a lower wage can be very painful. If you avoid that, it's pain-free.

So what I have done is to determine what the lowest amount of income I can really take without it bothering me, then live on that amount of money. Extra pay above and beyond that gets invested/saved/etc. and I pretend that it simply doesn't exist.

Doing this gives me a large amount of mobility and freedom to choose great jobs that may not pay as much as others.
Ironically, I'm thinking about perhaps moving to the electronic warfare industry, as with the continuing war nearby and the major impact that EW and drones have on the lives and deaths of infantry defending me and my family, I feel some sense duty that this could the most valuable practical contribution I can make, bringing more impact than going to the trenches myself (which is also an option, me being in the reserves).

I feel so confused about Rivian, on one hand I hear they're experiencing issues with profitability. On the other all Amazon vehicles in my city are now rivians and I see more and more of their trucks on the roads. I only see Lucid when I'm driving around the bay area.
It would be great, actually!

It's crazy that it even got to that stage. Men like this have no respect, they seem to think women saying "no" is some sort of challenge. And then use the law to force their will regardless. Hopefully the courts will put a stop to this nonsense.
There's also a long-standing branch by a major contributor (but with some kind of complicated politics that someone else can probably better explain) which has a non-zipped non-churny on-disk format specifically to allow using version control.

Correct, by "it" I was referring specifically to the "Tools" functionality that is the subject of the linked article.

Tools DON'T generate sql queries, they generate function calls. Of course you can hack it to output sql queries, you can always hack something beyond its intended design purpose, but it's not what it's supposed to be doing.

If the price swings were frequent and steep enough, you could probably have your batteries send power back to the grid when the price gets high.

I doubt the economics work, but I'd love to live in a world where a lot of the grid's battery storage is based on backup batteries people have at their houses with the added bonus of reducing their billing costs.
i left a high paying tech job in san francisco, mostly because san francisco is a terrible place to live and i hated the constant tech culture. i took a 60% pay cut (even more when factoring in equity) and moved to a smaller city in canada. quality of life is significantly improved, and with the raises i’ve gotten over the years i’m living a very very comfortable life

If you're worried that it won't just slot into your electronics ecosystem with zero friction then it's not for you. It's for a small cadre of early adopters that will suffer the papercuts and then cajole, shame and badger an even more minute group of firmware and kernel developers into making everything work. After enough of this has gone on you'll be able to safely get aboard.

It's not pretty, or fair, but that's how it all actually works.

I guess the real question is, why have we been seeing exploding demand for GPU's rather than TPU's (or a non-Google equivalent) in the AI space?

Why has Nvidia's stock exploded, rather than some company manufacturing TPU equivalents that you'd think would be higher-performance and more cost-effective for AI?
Absolutely! This is on my bucket list of home robotics projects. A stretch goal is to get steering during a wheelie, but I think this will be extra difficult. I’m guessing a well tuned PID controller will handle counter-steering just fine, but we’ll see.
My partner does this once a week. We have an electric kids scooter. She has to drive the smaller scooter attached to her own since there is no place at school to leave a bike or a scooter.

That said genocide is categorically different than blocking websites. Slippery slope is well regarded as a fallacy.

I did mention that states can choose to go to war though. It is within reasonable realm that the US may overturn the orders of a French court when operating in their country, but it is an act of war. It is something you would do to prevent genocide, but not to allow frenchies to watch sports without paying.
Free tool to design social share previews
When I said it didn’t require a training set, I meant you wouldn’t need to design one.

I don’t understand what you mean by the comment about state-space inflation. Do you mean that the world is big, or that the number of hypotheses it considers is big, or something else?

If the world is computable, then after enough steps it should include the true hypothesis describing the world among the hypotheses it considers. And, the probability it assigns to hypotheses which make contrary predictions should go down as soon as it sees observations that contradict those other hypotheses. (Of course, “the actual world” including its place in it, probably has a rather long specification (if it even has a finite one), so that could take a while, but similar things should apply for good approximations to the actual world.)

As for “it’s possible actions”, “moving around a robot with a camera” and “sending packets on the internet” seem like they would constitute a pretty wide range of possible actions.

Though, even if you strip out the “taking actions” part, and just consider the Solomonoff induction part (with input being, maybe a feed of pairs of “something specifying a source for some information, like a web-address or a physical location and time, along with a type of measurement, such as video” and “encoding of that data”,
should get very good at predicting what will happen, if not “how to accomplish things”. Though I suppose this would involve some “choosing a dataset”.

AIXI would update its distribution over environments based on its observations even when its reward signal isn’t changing.

I was referring to HTMX 1.0.0, which was 26KB: https://bundlephobia.com/package/htmx.org@1.0.0

It's not only about bandwidth, but JS code has to be parsed and executed, which takes CPU time, which is especially affecting low end mobile devices. Compare HTMX with e.g. Ajaxial, which is only 5KB minified: https://ajaxial.unmodernweb.com

One more suggestion: use `<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@2.0.0" defer>` in `<head>` (https://htmx.org/docs/#installing).

Yes, or at least its leadership had ties to Russian security services. Yet European authorities were more than complacent with them, in a way that the SEC would rarely be especially after 6 years of red flags. I don't think German financial authorities were also Russian controlled so my point, that Europe is very pro corporate as long as the corporations are European, still stands I think even with the Russian connection in this case!

I’ve been vegan for more than 15 years, i have no children but that’s an entirely separate debate, forecasts all around the world indicate a slowdown in global birthrates this might seem good at first but is not so much, it means an increase in average age of population which means lower birthrates and less people in the productive age brackets. The earth have enough resources to feed the current population many times over but not its greed, meat is incredibly inefficient as food, only 1% to 4% of the fed calories are converted into food, that without mentioning emissions, water usage, deforestation, soil contamination and the ethical problem of enslaving torturing and killing billions of sentient creatures just for sensory pleasure.
