I'm quite certain that the current scientific understanding is that we don't know how consciousness works at all. This is exactly the kind of landscape where one might expect big surprises. Think about how useless our intuitions p

Good. Market incentives are not always unethical. If anything, we should strive to build an economy where market incentives align with moral objectives. I welcome a world where artificial meat is practical.

Why do people think that the cruel behaviour of other creatures should give humans any pass in their own cruel behaviour? People don't seem to apply this logic when it comes to rape and murder (both very common in the animal kingdom) b

We can't decide because we don't have a machine that objectively measures consciousness. But it's safer to err on the side of mercy than to accidentally create hell on Earth.

No contradictions here. You don't even have to go to the animal realm. There are some humans who are capable of empathy towards some people but happily inflict pain on other people. This however should not be an argument for the rest o

Something tells me Google wouldn't be so gentle had he been a white male talking in a similar tone about women, blacks or muslims.

Interesting, thanks! What is an "affiliate ID injector" in this context?

How much do they offer you if I'm not too blunt?

Honestly, I have the opposite problem since I fully internalized how little I get compensated compared to people higher up in the org chain.

I agree with all this. I view this case as collateral damage from their lax policies.

I'm not saying that YouTube employees are not aware of the kidnapping, most of them probably are. I'm saying that most of them — including those who can do something about it — are probably not aware that this ad got through their

I'm not trying to defend Google here but could it be the case that they're simply not aware of the issue, or rather the issue didn't reach the appropriate people within the organisation who can get these ads removed? I don&#x

How do these synthetic assets implement tracking the original asset price? Are the assets still subject to the swings of the general crypto industry (e.g. BTC crashing pulls sGOOG down as well even though Google's real stock appreciate

The harm in being incorrect is that more and more people will use the past incorrect statements as grounds to dismiss future potentially correct statements.

This sounds a lot more difficult than using Zig where you just need to find the right build flag. Maybe it's easy once you already know which exact packages to get for each platform, where to put them and how to tell clang about them.

Not raising obvious problems with the process sounds just as dysfunctional as the pairing idea that created the situation in the first place.

Compile time hit meaning it's difficult to get the types right or something else?

> Your answer still focuses on something that happens to YOU. If that happens to another person, and they claim it occurred, you are implying that experience wouldn't hold weight to you. From this, I must conclude you believe it is

I have an idea: how about a spirit telling me a piece of information that I have no way of knowing myself? It can be a specific prediction of the future, location of an undiscovered artefact, or simply a sentence written on a piece of paper

There is somewhat of a dissonance that I detect from trip reports like this. On one hand, authors acknowledge that the whole trip might be just the result of their brain acting weird. But on the other hand, they start emphasizing how real t

One experiment I'd like to see is the following: if people take Ayahuasca in a non-Amazonian setting do they also get in touch with Pachamama and friends? In other words, how much is priming responsible for the types of experience one

It is not my intention here to cast judgement on people belonging to either side of the political spectrum. Just wanted to make sure that no double standards are applied in OP's hiring practises.

Would you also have zero issue with a talented person who felt passionately about gun rights, free-speech or banning abortion?

I agree that their behaviour hurts their career prospects. But I'm not sure if they agree. Many might think that the public at large is on their side and what they did looks good from the outside. This might be objectively false, but t

I'm looking at this now, thanks! Should have Google'd before typing.

What I would really like to see is a statically typed language on top of the Erlang VM (dialyzer was not amazing last time I checked it, which was admittedly years ago).

Why can't &3 work? Rob says 3 does not have a type and that's a problem. Would it be possible to change the Go compiler such that 3 has a type? (I'm guessing no, at least not easily, otherwise he'd be suggesting it,

I see, thanks. So I assume you work for an agency and they let you build this SaaS product on the side. Pretty nice of them as some companies have rather draconic stipulations with regards to intellectual property produced while being emplo
