> if you really imagine that Conway's game of life and the unknowable future of that game is analogous to the phenomenon of subjective experience

No. Convay's Game of Life does not include all the physical rules that govern the physical world. The actual rules are much, much more complex, but even they can be condensed to a single equation:

http://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2013/01/04/the-worl...

Conway's game is just a minuscule subset of those, but it is, just like the fractal formulas are, completely enough to demonstrate that the emerging properties are never "intuitive" by looking at the rules themselves, and that for the outcomes of most of the rules there are no "shortcuts" -- you have to calculate all the steps, not skipping anything.

So I see your claim of "uniqueness" of your "subjective experience" nothing more than a claim that you are unable or not willing to accept that the given rules can produce such emerging properties (and additionally being confused by that property of the rule's application being undecidable for any interesting set of rules and outcomes). As I see it, it's completely obvious, from many examples I've given which show that the emerging properties produced by the application of much more minimal rules were absolutely beyond what people were able to accept. But the "non-intuitive" emerging properties do exist, and the property of undecidability effectively guarantees that nobody can predict them in advance, or imagine an easy "shortcut" to some outcome, and also that you can't claim what you claim (that the outcome you "experience" is impossible) and remain intellectually honest, now after you were made aware of how the emerging properties actually work and what are the properties of most of the applications of the rules. More precisely, to remain intellectually honest, you must admit that the emerging properties you consider "unique" can be the result of the given rules. Your only consistent claim can then be "even if they can, I don't like to think about them as such." Nothing more.

On the other side, we can, once we calculate enough, be certain that the application of the rules is enough for any property we observe in any such experiment. Which is what we did with all the simple examples I've demonstrated. But like I've said, there's no shortcut for many steps (for some subsets we do have some, like Newton's laws for exactly two bodies, but see what happens with three already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem -- "Unlike two-body problems, no closed-form solution exists for all sets of initial conditions, and numerical methods are generally required" meaning, again, you have to do all the calculation steps to know what is going to happen), so you not being able to find one shortcut exactly where you'd like is also completely normal and trivial, and can not support any claim. It's the property of how the rules work.
How do you spend $25'000 on bottled water? Where I'm from it costs 16.5 cents per liter. That includes a 2 cent tax for recycling the PET Bottle.

$25'000 is more than you need in several lifetimes.

But then again, tab water here is excellent and also cool. So I don't see a reason why I should transport bottled water. It is much more convenient and cheaper.
Is your difficult senior colleague assigning work to you? Perhaps in a way that clashes with the priorities set by your manager? If that's the case you should deflect his assignments by saying "more than happy to help, but I need to prioritise this with my manager before working on it." Then discuss relative priorities with you manager. No need for finger pointing or blame storming, and no need to make it personal. Frame the conversation as being all about sorting out competing priorities. If your manager has got a clue he'll see that your senior colleague is introducing dysfunction.

A few years ago I worked in an office where people had kept refilling filter jugs for years, and I just started using the tap because the filter was too slow and annoying. Took a few weeks and everyone had stopped using the filter - all it took was seeing someone else drink water from the tap, and gradually people would do the same I did and drink from the tap when the jug was empty and realize it tasted perfectly fine. Probably better than the filter, frankly - I don't want to think about how rarely that filter was replaced and the jug washed.

Point being that while some places do have awful tap water, a lot of people just drink bottled or filtered water because they see people drink bottled or filtered water and copy that without even stopping to consider if their tap water is good enough or not.

What is interesting is to see effect size. For example, exercise would produce huge effect in blood content that transports oxygen and relatively small effect on brain-derived neurotrophic factor. For humans BDNF measures in 39 nanogramms per millilitre [1] - it is highly dissolved. I seriously doubt that masspectrometry can handle this.

Historically, the Royal Air Force used to go around recruitment fairs with a bunch of (analog) machines designed to test the hand/eye coordination of possible trainees -- use a couple of geared wheels to keep the dot on the moving target, for example.

They gave up on this about a decade ago, because the average applicant for an air cadet slot now had better reflexes and hand-eye coordination than second world war fighter aces. (They might fail on the physical fitness requirement, but the average kid today is insanely good at keeping the gunsights on the target using a joystick compared to the average kid in the 1940s.)

I used to live on Poland and suffer from depressive disorders, my country has free universal healthcare but it didn't improve my depression and most docs felt as if they don't care and don't know what to do but since I've moved to states, bought private insecure and now undergoing treatment, my situation has vastly improved. People here seem to care more than they did back in home.

I don't like free healthcare because it often time can't even cover the minimum of what people need.

Many people who knew better went to Private Doctors even when we had free healthcare because they don't trust free healthcare and attitude of those healthcare provider. You end up wasting a lot of time in such system.
A little more forgiving hitboxes would already help a lot. There is a lot of "I barely touched him" in there. But playing it some more, and getting it bit farther in the game, I'm already really enjoying what there is.

I think there is an easy solution: More expensive (like USD 1) foldable cups, that are expensive enough that people will actually re-use them.

In Sweden we have a model I like a lot, which is a modern, foldable version of a traditional saami drinking vissel called "kåsa": https://www.dentakit.com/foldingcup.html

They are often sold in hiking / outdoor shops etc. I'm sure someone could create a nice version suitable for take-away coffee.

Considering how many developer-focussed apps were written for macOS first/only because of the massive adoption of macbooks by developers after the rise of iOS apps, this is an extremely narrow perspective.

The appeal of Darling isn't bringing macOS to Linux, the appeal is breaking down the walls put up by shortsighted developers who decided not to bother porting the apps they developed for macOS over to a different platform because "every developer I know uses macOS".

Linux users who would want something like Darling aren't aspiring to be macOS users, they are Linux users who want/need to use software written by macOS users who didn't put in the effort to port their software.

It still is garbage, only some people demanded more resources to be spent on making the items so they can be claimed reusable.

In order to follow the movement I would need to carry a backpack of some sort, all the time and all places, or be ready to pay up. I would need to use probably more plastic bags than today, just to prevent spills and contamination from the coffee cups and straws. Gone would be freedom to change plans, leave home with no bags to carry, everything would become pre-planned. All of that for what outcome? Efforts of western countries focusing on cups and straws are a charade with no measurable impact; meanwhile some countries in Asia dump their waste into oceans by tons each minute. Our effort and resources would be better spent helping those countries improve faster, not trying to fix our 0.000001 % share. Most bang for the buck it’s called.
Others, like myself, have done already enough tinkering during our university days and now rather focus on get stuff done.

That's not necessarily how composition and creation works after you master your tools. In fact often the faster a song is completed the better it is as it's about capturing the original idea as purely as possible. Did you ever have a dream you wish you could remember? It's a bit like this. The composition and production are fully formed in an instant and it is a race against the shortcomings of the human memory/mind to capture them as quickly as possible.

FWIW I used to produce music, also professionally for a time (including one major label release), and what I described above was always the holy grail that I was chasing. Quality deteriorates the further you get from the initial energy of the spark. Also I don't mean to say the above is the only way to create. The same artist likes to spend months listening to records to get inspiration the perfect sound for each instrument for other projects (which is ironically closer to the derivative works you described).

The longer you are in the industry, the more you realize that things repeat and the only thing that matters is getting some market share and growing your business. This can happen in a number of ways - perhaps a beautiful UI, network effects, lower costs, or a new technology platform (web) that shakes up existing markets. So it happens all the time, you just need to find the right angle to best the incumbents.

Look at all these products that have nearly identical features (with only some distinction).

The key is to think about the features that would make your product unique and to analyze whether there is people who will prefer your product (at your price point) to all the other options.

I'd love to bring something innovative to the market but it really isn't necessary. A lot of people focus on things that a lot of other people don't care about or like. So it's easy to get a decent market share with basically already existing products that just provide some "buy-worthy" features.

Of course competition can be harder here but on the other hand you don't have to put that much effort into building something completely new (which will give others the opportunity to improve upon your great idea).

It's also easier to analyze an already existing market.
Having a grab bag of algorithms did not make an idea. I suspect the author thought more of responding to user's intentions not software doing whatever it wills.

That's a bad advice.

What this will do is to allow the existing communication pattern to be accepted as a norm and it will be extremely difficult to change in the future. Instead, with a little explicit pushback the OP can express his confusion/dismay at other dude's behavior, set the boundaries and nip this in the bud. Literally, just interrupt him mid-sentence and say - Listen, something's been bothering me. I really don't understand why you are talking down to me. I don't like it and I find it inappropriate.

But as others have said, you clearly have a communication problem, because you both think the other one is an idiot :)

See 1. Let's say some family members take great offense from one member being gay. They feel victimized. Poor them. Because they are delusional. They are no victim. If they, e.g., excommunicate the gay, the gay person is a victim of a non-punishable offense in my opinion. Not the other way around.
