How is this related to the 2nd point in OP's comment?

The whole Chinese room argument is based merely on a misinterpretation of computentionalist/physicalist argument.

Of course the computer or person who executes the program does not understand Chinese, they are just performing arithmetic operations, the entity understanding Chinese is the program itself, not the medium on which the program runs.
pretty good, is it sd3?
It makes sense, I agree. We'll try to adjust this
All Perl code I have ever seen, has been "write-only". Just completely unreadable and it was easier to just look at the output instead of the code when converting it to Python to get actual maintainability.
Same here. As soon as I clicked "Yes, let's get stuff done" then saw the sign up page I immediately closed it.

Simply because Foorr doesn't show me how it differs from every other to-do app out there, there's nothing trying to convince me to sign up. I'm not handing over my personal information just to find out.

> Something is lost or at least becomes ambiguous without an interpreter or a teacher or at the least, a detailed commentary

The problem with teachers or detailed commentaries, is that they may not agree with each others, or could be too narrow or even wrong: as as student looking for knowledge, you wouldn't be able to distinguish valuable interpretations from limited ones.

I think it might be judicious to look as ambiguity more as a feature than as a bug. Classical Chinese authors seems to have purposefully relied on it for example.

Noticed the same as well and it's happening over all social networks! I've seen this happening since Russia invaded Ukraine, so I assume it's cause of social media campgains and propoganda that started at the time - conflicts were dyed black and white removing all nuance, and people got off on "supporting" the side they picked
It's Apple blatantly violating the Digital Markets Act, because it thinks it is above the law (and to be fair, in the USA, it is). The EU has acknowledged this and is currently preparing a truly massive punishment for Apple. Apple, being unaccustomed to having rules apply to it, seems to be ignoring this.
DevOps has different meanings to different organizations. Just by skimming over the comments here the problem becomes obvious. For some it is basically a platform integration team that assist product teams for what they call devops, for others they confuse it as a modern sysadmin role and for others like product developers they confuse being on-call "24x7" as some kind of devops principles. It's a heavily abused term, even as we have a common industry definition which is grounded on scientific methods, all of the above examples are still common misconceptions about devops.
It was likely an inflected language at the time it was spoken, and they just left the tedious grammar bits out when writing.
You should more directly ask, why is foreign competition vital?

Preventing domestic mergers, and ensuring domestic competition exists are viable alternatives.

With viable alternatives available, when it comes to domestic telco and networking, you want domestic control. A nation is benefited by domestic ownership of its own infrastructure.

This is inline with domestic food production, manufacturing of defense products, transportation infrastructure, and on and on.

Domestic control is an aspect of sovereignty.

Now again, I want competition. The problem isn't foreign competition, it's a lack of domestic.

The Harper Conservatives worked on this, limiting spectrum auction to induce competition and so on.

I suspect someone had a pet peeve, re domestic cost of services. One thing about government, is that often politicians get into the politicking business because something pissed them off.

So I suspect someone was cheesed at costs, or customer service, and made it their thing. Sadly, it was dropped by the next government.

Another example would be the Trudeau Liberals overhauling the entire ombudsman process for banks, along with intense investigation into retail banking processes.

Prior, the ombudsman was an escalation process that ended up at a provincial ombudsman's office... jointly owned by the banks!

Again, I expect someone in the current government was cheesed at banking chicanery.

Regardless, we can get competition without foreign competitors. It just takes a government caring enough.

And it would take just as much push to drop foreign ownership requirements, as to limit spectrum, prevent mergers, etc.

Chemicals released by the gut microbiome can influence brain development, starting from birth. A review from 2015 states that the gut microbiome influences the central nervous system by "regulating brain chemistry and influencing neuro-endocrine systems associated with stress response, anxiety and memory function".[4] The gut, sometimes referred to as the "second brain", may use the same type of neural network as the CNS, suggesting why it could have a role in brain function and mental health.[5]

A failure in what sense? It's their research arm.

It feels crazy to bash down what they're doing even if it led nowhere. I'd prefer the money goes toward funding "failed research" than sit in their bank accounts.

Do you feel the same way about NASA, CERN, scientific research in general? There are many areas that receive significant funding for decades and lead nowhere by the looks of it.

I routinely turn any task I need to do more than three times into a script that automates it. I've published a couple of these, like

- This pair of scripts for starting an RDP session with a resolution matching the size of the current window (from back when I was using herbstluftwm): https://gist.github.com/YellowApple/6e6134b7493485aa3e56f255...

- This script for running Windows programs in a specified Proton-managed Wine prefix (though nowadays there are better tools for this): https://gist.github.com/YellowApple/8f91daf000153195e643e8d7...

- This script that populates ID3 tags for MP3 files I've downloaded (via youtube-dl or yt-dlp or whatever) based on their filenames and folder structure (so that I can easily play what I want from a USB stick plugged into my truck's head unit): https://gist.github.com/YellowApple/7b9cc54cf6fbc20bf79cf240...

but a lot of them I've never gotten around to uploading, and most are buried away on old machines (or backups thereof) or lost forever on employer-owned machines that got presumably wiped after I left.

This post did, however, inspire me to go back through some of those backups and look through some of those scripts. Some results after a few minutes of spelunking and reminiscing:

- A couple Perl scripts that would convert hex digits into eight-dot Braille characters (to represent a fictional country's number system, back when I was actively roleplaying on NationStates.org as a teenager)

- A trio of Perl scripts to turn CSVs into SQL insert/update/upsert statements (possibly related to the time I accidentally blew away some of a prior employer's production data; we couldn't bring down the whole DB to do a normal SQL Server restore, so instead I pulled up the CSV dumps of the relevant table (for our ETL pipeline) and used those to build the necessary inserts/updates to restore what got deleted)

- A one-liner `tr '\r' '\n' < $1 > $2` called "mac2unix" because I was trying to import a CSV into SQLite for some analysis but the sender created it on a Mac and of course the default spreadsheet app still uses lone carriage returns for linebreaks like it's nineteen-eighty-fucking-nine

- Another one-liner `exec xdg-open "$@"` called "open" (don't remember why; maybe because people kept sending me shell scripts written on Macs?)

- A whole bunch of other little scripts to populate toolbars from my herbstluftwm-using days

- A bunch of scripts to generate ZPL code to print various labels on Zebra thermal printers
Companies do what they always do. It isn't the first time a organization sees something trendy, say that they adopt it and just renames their old processes to with what is trendy and doesn't change one damn thing. It happened with agile and it is happening with DevOps. These poor performers are most likely doing ops in a traditional way they just adopted the vernacular of modern practices and claiming it doesn't work.

The core of DevOps and agile is essentially tightening the feedback loops and using the feedback to adjust to become more efficient. "Oh we are failing deploys" and not figuring out why to adjust well that isn't DevOps. Not figuring out why you don't deliver what you promise isn't agile either.

It isn't, Apple is abusing their anti-malware processes to review apps under the guise of security. When the DMA states that Apple doesn't get to have a say in these things at all. None. They can block malware, sure, but they cannot do any sort of "app review"

This isn't the first time they have done this, they've blocked a windows emulator using the same notarization process. Again, notarization is NOT meant to be app review, and again, they have abused it as such.

All that at a time when the EC is investigating them for brazenly breaking the DMA laws
I think it's more likely that while the punishment might be significant it will be more profitable to continue as long as possible violating the law or at least pushing the boundaries as much as possible instead of proactively being compliant.

After a court order they will know exactly where the limits are and tiptoe them as much as possible. If they proactively try to be "overcompliant" they might loose more money in the long run.

It's messed up to be honest. I would prefer harsher punishments, but on the other hand if companies are scared all the time it might have a chilling economic effect so there is a balance to strike as well.

a lot of cool projects here, but i will share my relatively mundane ones:

- made a tool to import all of my local music library to a spotify playlist by analysing the music itself. used a music tagging api to analyze a small section from the middle of the track to get its details. went through the effort because some of the music i had was very old and i did not keep up with updating their media tags.

- i finetuned musicgen on instrumentals of some of the music i like. i now have an interface that randomly generates a short track, which can sometimes create a nice banger. cannot publicly release due to licensing issues.

call me lazy and selfish, but i only bother doing things outside work if i am really interested in it and want to do it for myself.
> The archived technology was never touched. Years later there were multiple teams doing stuff redundant to what we did. They didn't know we ever existed and their projects will probably never be released.

> I don’t think this common, glib aphorism has to be true.

Well, as stated a few moments ago in a previous comment:

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I'd be (genuinely) curious if you had more precise inputs as to why Chinese language (pictographic) wouldn't be more expressive than Western's (alphabet-based): I think there's reasons to not be so quickly dismissive.

> The path that can be walked is not the AllPath. The word that can be said is not the AllWord.

Well, aren't you for example losing here the echo to the daiji? With all its "philosophical" significance?

> Btw, What does your regular Chinese person think about this book? I know it’s very popular in the west. Is it popular in Chinese speaking regions as well? What do people think about it?

A few isolated data points: most Chinese persons I know consider classical Chinese "old unreadable stuff" and don't seem to care much for it. But plenty of Westerners (Europe) don't care much for old Western texts either (e.g. Iliad, Plato, Bible).

I don't feel that way about the part of NASA that awarded contracts to SpaceX, but I do feel that way about the part of NASA that wastes billions on SLS (I know it's Congress's fault).

It's about efficiency. Even for research that doesn't make revenue, you can do it efficiently or inefficiently. SLS and Google X are way down on the inefficient end of the spectrum.
Basically they couldn't cross John Deere's moat.

Looking at their video[0], it seems clear the right place for this technology is mounted to existing tractors. There are good reasons why farm machinery is designed like it is: durability, crossing rough and uneven terrain, repairability, economies of size, etc.

All these sensors and monitoring systems are standard on a modern tractor or combine. For frequent close crop monitoring between drives, hyperspectral drones will probably win using a simpler software approach.

The hardware looks great for inexpensive early learning (which was probably the goal), but uncompetitive as a real product.

You can ask that question of the entire tech industry.

The answer is pretty straightforward: Because being a normal financially solvent business is not good enough. A simple technical improvement is not good enough.

I cannot even begin to imagine doing that. I cook all my meals and cooking process is like a meditation/flow experience for me (and my spouse if we are doing it together), then taking time to enjoy the meal, then a very rewarding „one-up“ after cleaning.

Weird! Particularly as searching for "homeopathic" on that page doesn't turn anything up. I guess it's one of those things where it might help and can't hurt: anyone who knows enough to know that "homeopathic" is bogus, can look at the ingredients and determine that it's actually got zinc.
Is it compassion? One of my cousins has downs, and she's something of a favourite because she's easygoing and sensible - exactly the sort of person that, if you were going to live hunter-gatherer style, would be great to have around.

I don't think you need compassion to recognize the value of non-typical people - just a lack of prejudice.
> transiency is irrelevant to autonomy

If you are allowing transient decisions for giving away a life, then transient decisions would be allowed for lesser stakes too.

Most societies are debating even something like unrestricted access to drugs. There are people who would take drugs as a conscious/long-term plan for whom the transiency distinction is irrelevant but there are also those who hate it while succumbing to it and would gladly sign a contract to stop access to consumption, if that were practically possible to enforce.

Contracts often involve trading away autonomy of a future self whether for the good or the bad. Signing such a contract is often not legally valid if the person is in a disturbed mental state.

A more common example, children are not allowed to buy alcohol or consent to a sexual relationship with an adult.

The issue being that the immediate decision of the child can be something they would reject if they have more experience and had the ability to make a more informed choice. Of course, the problem of impulsive bad decisions doesn't go away as an adult, but considerations of intrinsic freedom and the problems of giving power to a state become much bigger.

When a criminal commits a crime, a premeditated/planned action is treated more severely than an impulsive action which in turn is treated more severely than an action caused by a mental illness.

Taking one's life is a much more drastic step than drugs or signing a contract.

> not necessarily transient

Not assuming this, chronic examples don't rule out the existence of large families of cases where things can and do look better due to time and a change in circumstances.
The web is more than good enough. There's just a lot of people drinking the kool-aid and believing big tech's subtle and not so subtle messages about the web being shite. Of course the web is shite on devices from companies that compete with the web. They actively undermine it.
