Cinephile here and I cannot follow any ranking for a non popular movie and for blockbusters I can't either. I don't buy that you can have a good ranking for everyone. You should separate in different clusters. For example, Wonder woman score at Metacritic? 76. Are you kidding me?

BTW this is my shared ranking: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ojCTmnu8-uIXxnas142M...

EDIT: changed 7.6 to 76 based on the comment below.

No. Even a driving test isn't necessarily required to get a driver's license. I never took one.
No, "these same algorithms" don't "run in our brains". Our brains produce thoughts in ways that we don't even have the slightest understanding of. We have conjecture and some observations (e.g. electric signal monitors) that only scratch the surface of describing what the end result of a "thought" looks like.

The comparison of how humans think and human intellect in general with poorly understood applied computational statistics really has gone too far.

Now, if you mean to say that humans themselves have biases and "wrong" behavior, that's a different matter.
Interesting talk: "The Ultimate Game Boy Talk" at CCC https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8029-the_ultimate_game_boy_talk
Isn't the issue here that whatever government does there still will be someone protesting against it?

You know, watching the news and seeing 100k people protesting looks impressive, until you realize that you live in a country of 350M citizens and that 100k protesters is just 0.029% of total population. Add social media to the equation and it is entirely possible to organize flash mob of 100k of Game of Thrones fans demanding "EPIC BOATSEX".

So, as a politician you learn very early in your career to ignore all protests, simply because someone is always protesting against something. You wouldn't get much done if you spent most of your time talking to protesters.
I also sleep with a fan on low, and yes, it does work.

One possible mechanism is the (well-attested) phenomenon of perceptual set. Ever buy a new refrigerator? For a week or so, you'll notice the sound every time it turns on. After that, you'll never notice it again. A similar thing is going on when you notice someone saying your name at a crowded party. Your brain "tunes out" the background noise from the multiple conversations, but when your name is mentioned, you're suddenly listening to that specific conversation.

At one time I lived near busy railroad tracks. For a week or two, I was getting blasted awake several times a night. After that? Didn't even hear 'em.

What may be going on is that the fan noise raises the background sound level enough that minor, unpredictable sounds (wind, bugs hitting the window, whatever) that would normally trigger alertness are enough below the ambient sound threshold that your brain doesn't pay any attention to them.

That's a great idea. Humans have refined tastes, we're going to criticize meat for not being marbled enough, or for tasting a bit "off", or for not being quite up to par. We will purposefully reject cuts like chuck when offered the option of a strip steak instead.

Dogs wouldn't. They'd eat the strip steak and then eat the chuck and then chase down a mole, dig it out of the ground, and eat it whole. They don't have refined tastes and they are able to eat a much wider variety of meat than humans so their tastebuds didn't evolve to say "this tastes a little off, must be poison", so they'll eat almost anything.

Housecats might be a bit pickier about fresh meant but if it's processed into food, again they're not going to care. And by the time the majority of pets are eating lab grown food, who knows? Maybe the science will have advanced enough that it's palatable to humans as well.

Not that I'm particularly experienced in JS, but I'd add to this that starting out with frameworks like Mithril that have small APIs and let you right the majority of your code and logic in vanilla JS is also very beneficial when starting out.
This is naive. How will you know what product to buy?

This is naive. Advertisers aren't in the business of educating and informing the public. If they were most of them would say don't buy our product, you don't need it, it won't make you happy, the paid celebrity/model in our ad doesn't even use it, the people who make it don't even use it, because they know what's in it.

There were about 30 million bison in North America before we hunted them near extinction. Bison, especially young ones, are prey to wolves and bears. Bison weight about 1.5x cows.

There are about 100 million cows, and if about 30% of those feed pets the numbers come out similar.

There are also pigs and chickens, and depleted river fish/wild fowl populations.

Wolves/bears are heavier so the same mass of prey supports a smaller population. Still, I think we'd be in the same order of magnitude.

Edit: actually I might be an order of magnitude off, depending on the length of life. If cows live a year before slaughter, vs bison living 10 years. No idea what the real numbers are.

> Can you give an example?

Oh, no, absolutely no real life example. Note that something that huge is not something I encountered (gladly, 20 devs was the biggest team I was in). I'm trying to answer the question "in which circumstances people doing this may be right", which is my usual approach when I don't understand a behavior (provided it's not morally questionable behavior, obviously, but it's not the case here).

And I totally get what you mean with over-abstractions, many rails teams have the same problem, nowadays. I'm not advocating that, just trying to understand why it makes sense for them, and which problems they have that I don't.

So, if I had to give an hypothetical example, I would go with a chart modal on an e-commerce, like amazon. You have the list of items with their quantity, in it, quite basic, and a few devs are responsible of that part - those who manage checkout base code.

But you want your modals to look the same all over the domain, so you make an abstraction for it, made by a team who work on abstraction for the whole domain, expecting to be used in a certain way, but trying to avoid preventing devs to implement what they need.

Now, the thing with checkout is that there are a lot of legalities which vary upon countries. You have developers in those countries, so why not make them work on the specific VAT, legal mentions, or whatever that they're already used to, instead of having a team who should get all the different legal frameworks of all countries in the world? Or you can split responsibilities about those to various teams, each handling several countries, but none having to know the law of all countries. To do that, you'll probably add an API in the basic chart component and allow different teams to plug on it.

And then, there's the team handling promotional content. Most of the time, they can do with existing abstractions, but sometimes it requires new specific content, so you decide to have a team on that, since you're a giant and you deal with several promotions a day.

All those people keep editing the same feature, but none know the whole codebase for it, so they have to be pretty sure they won't break someone else part by making a change.

And now, people in all those teams keep coming in and leaving company, and you have to make sure no knowledge is lost when they leave, and that new people can make changes fast. If you split all of this in 30 files with a clear separation of public api and internals, it probably helps.

This is my best - although probably naive - guess of where an over-specified architecture may be useful for a modal.

The concrete claim by the parent is "nearly all of the racist scenarios were fabricated out of whole cloth."

Don't forget that there are gains to trade. It's not just redistributive; more people are making more stuff (aka creating wealth). The pie gets bigger. The risk is that some people's slice gets smaller, even in absolute terms.

Poor people who are still employed also gain from globalization, because their inputs become cheaper.

Above all, too high a rate of change is what causes dislocation and destroys lives, when large segments of the population are left without valuable skills.

Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB and Metacritic are owned by content distributors/creators, Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes are owned by Comcast/Time Warner, Amazon owns IMDB while CBS owns Meta-critic.

It's no coincidence the accuracy of ratings sites have deteriorated over the past few years, one of the most glaring violations of trust has been Rotten Tomatoes pre-certifying movies as "Fresh" and keeping it so despite aggregated reviews which would contradict a "Fresh" rating. And the even more troubling trend of "Sponsored" movies like Step receiving the certification.

It should come as no surprise the number of newly released Certified Fresh Films is increasing despite the quality of films at the box office decreasing
EVs being popular have little to do if they are the best cars there – the gov subsidizes the hell out of them (compared to other cars that are highly taxed to pay for the welfare state) so much so, that a Model S retails there for about the same as a $25,000 Audi (US price).

That was my point. Lisp s-expressions are used in Lisp not just because one can implement macros with them.

It's not clear to me what you mean with that. Can you give an example?

Fortunately for US-based companies, the quarterly earnings-per-share cycle creates so many decision changes within a year that a system like this wouldn't survive more than two years max. And that's about the tenure of the average employee, so it will wash out. Meanwhile, a boss will get a bonus for implementing it, and the vendor will make some cash. All is well, right?

DIY projects always get glorified like this. As if people figured out this secret trick to bypass consumer capitalism. When the whole idea of capitalism is about not having to invest a ton of effort into learning a new craft every time we want to use a new product/service. We pay companies to master that craft for us with money we earn from focusing on our own individual skills.

It'd be more accurate to sell it as a rewarding experience to do as a hobby rather than a clever cost-saving commercial solution.

If money and ROI is the primary focus then most specialized knowledge could be better utilized in other ways than simply building a product once for yourself in your spare time.

In my view, we produce enough food, that it would be considered toxic if we were forced to consume all of it. Any identifiable chemical in our food, that caused as much disease as the food itself causes, would be banned. To find consumers for the food that we do produce, it has to be formulated by scientists and psychologists to override our natural satiety responses. Some of the surplus has to be converted into fuel and burned, at an overall net energy cost.

So, in this perspective, subsidizing corn farming and drilling for natural gas, to feed cattle, in order to maintain dogs, doesn't seem any more absurd than the food system in general.

A) This sort of thing is probably not a great handbook in the first place; it looks like a committee just decided to compile a bunch of general knowledge about sabotage in a big bullet-point list.

B) Information from the 1940s is probably not terribly relevant today. It ignores modern safety systems, engineering principles, surveillance technologies, and most kinds of telecommunications. Any prospective saboteur trying to put this 'manual' to practical use will probably get caught or maybe electrocuted in short order.

I would also say that clothing is a form of communication. Certainly, it's one that you may not value, but I believe it's something that we should be aware of if we're to be effective communicators. First, there's the forms of clothing and their association with certain people and certain kinds of respect. If we see a person dressed as a pastor, that immediately affords them a certain kind of respect within a certain community. There are fights within hospitals over the role of the lab coat worn by doctors. Second, clothing is designed to enhance certain physical characteristics that afford a different kind of perception and respect. In a man's suit jacket, the button stance is designed to create a V-effect on the chest, which suggests physical power and strength similar to a V-shaped figure. The layering of colors within the clothing is designed to bring attention to the face, which we as people tend to value very highly.

Again, you may not value these things, but the vast majority of the world does. One of the things that I struggle with from fresh graduates out of technical schools is that they don't value it and it hurts them professionally because their peers and management do. That might not be right, but until one becomes the boss, it's important to understand and effectively utilize this language. I'd feel pretty stupid if I didn't reach my professional goals because I didn't value how I dress sufficiently enough. And, yes, there's a limit to how much it matters just as there are limits to all language. Though, that doesn't minimize its impact.

With respect to the article, the physics and modeling of fabric is incredibly difficult. Part of the reason that clothing manufacturing hasn't been as automated as other fields is a testament to how difficult it is. Personally, I find such models fascinating.

Okay, I get that I was arguing past you, not to your point.

> reducing the argument of understanding to: "Well X is just [a, b, c]" is a bad argument

I think when you say, "humans are just a bunch of chemical reactions and electrical signals" you're stating a hypothesis, not a fact. But we know DL et. al. is just mathematical machinery.

It may turn out that consciousness is somehow the result of mechanics (I do not believe it, but that's beside the point) or it may turn out that what we are, the "thing" that understands, is somehow beyond mechanical systems. I feel like I should clarify that when I say "understanding" I mean more than that there is some mechanism that can perform a complex mapping from inputs to outputs (example: chess playing AI doesn't "understand" chess in the sense I mean.) There is some "self" that understands, and this is directly tied to conscious subjective awareness.

In one of your other comments on the same article you say:

> As to the question of consciousness, it is yet to be well defined, with no possibility to test (because of eg Qualia) so by definition you'd never verify or not. At most you'd recognize what you perceive as consciousness based on how you perceive other entities which you believe have it.

Consciousness cannot be defined, as you say, because it has no qualities. And it cannot be scientifically studied for the same reason. However, there is a method to "detect" it in other systems, to wit: merging. Two or more conscious systems can voluntarily merge, creating a new conscious entity partaking of but greater than its members. This isn't widely discussed or even known in AI and consciousness debates, so I wanted to mention it.

The difficulty wasn't in the engine. JS itself is just as good with accepting Unicode characters as Rust, both in code and strings. The problem was with the PEG implementation. Without some sort of shorthand for Unicode families, defining programming languages that are valid in multiple real-world languages becomes a serious burden.
