That's because Zhang Yiming is a big fan of American free market. Now they're mocking him because the free market he loves is not tolerating him. Gotta admit it's pretty funny.

I think HN wants something like this to succeed and compete with firefox and chrome but I can't help but think that's never going to happen.

Every competitor aims for dominance. Engineers should be paid more, telling them not to accept money from firms from authoritarian governments is laughable. You should be encouraging western firms to be competitive not blaming China for bei

This is good for silicon engineers and tech industry in general. This will make the entire sector more competitive. Unfortunately HN can't see that and would rather have silicon engineers be paid lower wages than to have them go to Chi

Ya but clicking that doesn't even work. And I rarely go on Twitter so I don't know why they would do it intentionally.

"We've got about 400 people in this room.... Imagine if dinner was carted into this room, and four people got half the food. The night would end in violence," Anand Giridharadas told IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed at a public event h

What do you think about the claim that non profits like Bill's are only designated such to get favorable tax policies and are actually profit driven investment vehicles? http://sfonline.barnard.edu/navigating-neoliberal

Apologies. That's just what I thought of when the comparison with indigenous was brought up. But that's not the only reason it's a bad comparison. When Manhattan was purchased there was no market. Chinese are buying things at

For wealthy people churches are for socializing. For developing countries churches can provide health care, food assistance and such.

Why does Twitter often fail to load when I open a thread and if I refresh it works. Does Twitter use us-fail-1?

But I don't think he's suggesting he's reporting his experience with Britons. I'm pretty sure they evade the bad parts of empire in their education. Just like the Civil Rights Movement is sanitized in US.

I guess it matters to people who want to bring colonialism back to Africa, Lebanon or Hong Kong. I think HN is pretty down with the last one so I don't know what you're talking about.

I think he was being charitable. Not wanting to offend anyone. He ended like this So for British teachers wondering how to teach the subject, it is important to cite various perspectives, including, crucially, the perspectives of the coloni

I think this is because churches provide services that governments in developing countries cannot. People there are more likely to be religious because churches provide value to them.

> Didn't we do this to the indigenous people here once ourselves? Not until they invade and slaughter everyone here. And no that's probably not going to happen. Hilarious that people think this way though.

I don't know about balance but the person that embodied every human virtue renounced his citizenship and he lived happier than his peers, lacked nothing and stood taller than kings. We can't all be Diogenes but he's something

Can you share the notes you took while debugging? What was being sent, which dll or exe was doing it?

To people who think the point of fashion is to imitate people with higher status, fashion loses its value if your name carries status for you.

It does sound crazy but that's mainly because it'd be crazy for mainstream Chinese opinions to be discussed in English. Maybe r/china.

Ya but other people not having the choice to side load apps makes the app economy better. Seems reasonable.

He has such an account because he wants to remain anonymous because views such as his are such that people like you would censor and ostracize him. Such is the hypocrisy of one who cries for freedom and free speech.

If he thinks GPT-3 is a simple consciousness then any language model would be a simple consciousness. That doesn't make intuitive sense.

by haecceity 6y ago
It's OK to be open to that idea as long as you are open to various definitions of consciousness.

by haecceity 6y ago
As for consciousness, I am open to the idea that a worm with 302 neurons is conscious, so I am open to the idea that GPT-3 with 175 billion parameters is conscious too. I would expect any consciousness to be far simpler than ours, but much
