Aren’t passkeys intrinsically resistant to those attacks? With hardware security keys, the private key remains on the device, never crosses the network, and is cryptographically bound to the site being authenticated.
They absolutely let you withdraw earnings. I place around 20 wagers a day. Pinnacle and Circa are used as measures of what the market is actually pricing in. You can devig lines to arrive at event likelihoods. From there you can line shop such that your expected value is positive over the long run.
It’s not that hard to look at lines at Pinnacle and Circa and make estimates about the fair value of a wager. Open accounts at every book and line shop and maximize expected value.
Also you are ignoring platforms like Novig which are like the polymarket for sports betting.
It's not super clear to me how this interacts with data. If I have am using ADLS to store delta tables, and I cannot pull prod to my local can I still use this? Is there a point if I can just look at delta log to switch between past versions?
Same. I just bought a t480 off eBay a week ago while I already have a m2 pro MBP with 32gb RAM. I don’t know what compelled me but it’s just so cozy. By all measures the Mac is superior. Thinkpads are like the vinyl records of laptops.
Existence is a funny term in Buddhism. The end goal of development stage practice is the recognition that the deity is inseparable from one’s self because the nature of any given deity is equal to our own in an absolute sense. After all, everything is empty of inherent existence and are all self arisen manifestations from a primordial ground of being, hence no you and no I as separate.
So some people do see them as external things to ask things of but others see them as mind created and used as supports for meditation to realize our own true nature. Depends on lineage and teacher.
Science consists of predictions based on measurements of our perception as mediated by our senses or tools that augment them. Dualism (or idealism for that matter) doesn't require religious beliefs. You can arrive at them analytically. Science is great for explaining the conventional reality of things as they appear though. But until I read a convincing explanation for consciousness and subjective experience that doesn't reduce to "neural correlates" I can't get on board with physicalism.
The fact that we're not all unconscious automatons that just evolved from one long cause-effect chain stemming from the big bang to now continues to bewilder me. "Mind" may play an "of the gaps" game here but it's the only reasonable explanation that currently makes some semblance of sense to me.
So currently I agree with the religious on your last point. Machines or AI cannot be conscious. Maybe if they were infused with some sort of biological material though I would say maybe. If our subjective experience is a localization of a thing called "consciousness" and certain forms (humans, animals) localize it to produce a sense of self then why not.
Funnily enough I actually had a conversation with ChatGPT about this and we concluded that conscious decision making / free will is basically a higher order Markov process.
Because life is intrinsically frustrating and everything is impermanent including the satisfaction you derive from material gains. The only way to escape is to stop seeking happiness externally.
Seems like a failure on behalf of management to get so dependent on a single resource vs distributing work more evenly. All eggs in one basket and all that.
The bandaid had to be ripped at some point. They should have added resource over time though to take pieces bit by bit.
A lot of people quick to try to reduce consciousness to what we can observe about brain functions.
While this explains what happens in the brain as things happen it doesn’t explain why it is like something to be you which is the core of the hard problem of consciousness.
The thought experiment of a philosophical zombie that has all of the same cause-effect reactions to externalities as myself seems to require that it isn’t pure information processing giving rise to consciousness.
I quite like the idea of certain panpsychism arguments that consciousness is itself a thing existing on a continuum inherent across the universe. At a certain point, “what it’s like” to be a certain thing becomes difficult to demarcate. And from the moment of the Big Bang the particles necessary for the construction of conscious beings expanded outward in one giant entanglement. The particles that make us up are the same as everything else in existence however it feels like something to be a person, a deer, possibly a plant, etc.
