Countered the downvote because I’m interested in this line of reasoning. Could you expand on that? Why do you think having no memory of “waking up” to existence makes it less meaningful?

I'm reminded of the following quote by Alan Watts from The Way of Zen:

To the Taoist mentality, the aimless, empty life does not suggest anything depressing. On the contrary, it suggests the freedom of clouds and mountain streams; wandering nowhere; of flowers in impenetrable canyons, beautiful for no one to see, and of the ocean surf forever washing the sand, to no end.
While the likes of Zuse and Flowers deserve more recognition, here are some other of Turing's achievements.

- Introduced the concept of ordinal logic, an apporach to overcoming the limitations of Goedel's incompleteness theorems, a thriving field as of 2019. See [1].

- Gave the definite analysis of the notion of "mechanical computability", see [2].

- Essentially invented the field of AI, with key contributions such as Neural Networks [3] (but see [4, 5, 9]) and the Turing test [6].

- Work in chemistry / biology, see [7, 8].

Yeah I knew there had been some shots at it, but my google fu couldn't pull up anything solid to point to. I'd love to see if somebody ever tried to "go big" with RSS. EDIT: also the comments RSS is generally comments posted to the blog, right? Not quite the same thing as each user having their own RSS feed with their posts and comments.
Your original statement - that a carbon-hedonistic lifestyle of frequent flying and cruise ships would still be lower CO2 output than having children - is flatly wrong, and your source does not bolster your argument.
Not a great idea if you are out at work all day.
What is a closed argument? I don’t know how to parse your comment.
Again with the dichotomies. Understand that in one microcosm (school) it may have been like that. But in others it might have worked differently. So from one viewpoint, that's the 'only way' things can work. In my experience, it can work differently. I had 3 boys in public school.
I'm curious where your negativity is coming from, all of the comments you've written on this thread so far are negative.
Hi,

great project. But one question, why would you link paul grahams article and then use Rust and not Lisp? I failed to see the connection there, but it made me really interested in trying to learn more about Lips (and maybe Rust)
I would actually suspect more of the opposite. Their biggest hurdle, at least initially, is fighting the perception that the service just won't be performant enough to be a good experience. I would not be surprised if they start with a limited set of high-end devices (Apple ones included), just so people don't blame device limitations on the service instead.
Is it just the family, or is it also community institutions?

I'm thinking specifically about the decline in church attendance. Regardless of your beliefs, church congregations (not mega-churches, but small congregations of at most a few hundred) provided a built-in community that could provide support, companionship, activities, etc. So far I haven't seen anything that really replicates all those communities had to offer.

Can you share how?
I mean I don't think you're wrong, I just think talking about pre industrial society isn't particularly helpful when trying to understand factors behind trends in our current lifestyles.

In other words, yes current state is a function of all past states, but recent history has a far higher influence on next state than the far past. At a certain point you have to assume its influence to be close to zero.
> They are so used to live their own lives that they have extremely hard time compromising any part of it.

I say that when someone having extremely hard time doing something, he/she just doesn't need that something hard enough. Most of the people rarely have hard time eating or drinking or watching interesting movie or spending time with friends.

Before XX century it was extremely hard to live alone, unless one have stable source of income or an inheritance. For lay people family was just a question of survival. Children was the only recipe of aging in dignity.

It is still valid in XXI century, but now there are other ways to live one's life. Forties is not an age of retirement, but a most active age of reaping rewards and even starting a new ventures. There are other means of self realization besides family and children. I don't see anything particularly bad about it.

Sean Carroll has an excellent "zoo" of ideas in a set of slides at https://www.slideshare.net/seanmcarroll/what-we-dont-know-ab... where he gives a reasonable overview of a number of ideas including those which have an earliest time (even if it is far earlier than the hot big bang), and those which do not.

Indeed, a couple of the slides touch on Hawking's idea in the article at the top: discussing or debating that particular model (and "choosing sides") is not especially new.

The references [in square brackets] on each of the slides are mostly easy enough to find via your favourite search engine.
I would assume they've been discussing this move for longer with any customers who would need more time.

Decisions like this are long in the making, this is just the public announcement for the rest of us.
The syntax looks like just wailed hatred, just like all other wailed hatred.

People are not against immigrants, just the illegal ones that murder, rape and steal. People are also not against Muslims, just the extremists.

If we follow syntax there are no racists in the world and we can simply accuse people of not paying attention. I think that is wrong way to view it. If we talk about "unreliable, selfish, and inconsiderate immigrants" then what people will read is that all immigrants are bad. That just how that kind of language get interpreted, and the assumption is that the speaker is aware of it and thus intended it.

I have a simple test. When in doubt I do a word for word replacement and replace the word "men" with "immigrants" and "women" with "natively born". If that make a sentence or article sound like a racist, then it is wailed hate. If it sounds perfectly fine regardless who is targeted then it is not.
Yeah, pretty much, though really the colors are based on how long it takes a point to "escape" the set, if it does, with the blackness being ones that never do (to whatever level of diligence you have time to compute "never"). I was thinking the center black bug would be a deep crevasse or the "floor", with mountains rising on either side, so you could wander around in the canyons around a giant flat lowland, surrounded by mountain ridges.
My own concerns are different. I'm in my 50s now, happily married for over 25 years, with a terrific social life. I'm not at all lonely or isolated.

It's my children that I worry about.

They're boy/girl twins, now 25. My daughter is in the process of breaking up with the boyfriend she's lived with for the past two years, and moving back home to re-settle her life. She has a career, and wants to get married and start a family sometime soon. Her boyfriend is a great person to be around and she adores him, but... he doesn't want kids (and is actually freaked out by them). He doesn't want marriage. And he can't keep himself organized enough to uphold his financial/personal responsibilities in cohabitation. So where is she going to find a potential partner who shares her social values, and wants a life partnership and a co-parent, who can uphold their responsibilities? She doesn't even know where to look.

Her brother lives at home, and probably always will. He doesn't have a real career and can't adult well enough to live on his own, even if he had to. He has never been on a date, even, and lives for video games. What happens if he looks around one day and suddenly feels lonely for a family other than his aging parents? With no financial substance or adulting skills and no romantic experience, he's not much of a catch for partners his age. He'll have to take more family/household responsibility as he gets older, and that's fine, but what happens when his parents finally pass away and he's an old man?

As a parent, these situations worry me greatly.
Are we the strange ones? If it's all about numbers alone, we might be...

A lot of it is ignorance, I think, not in a derogatory sense but simply not understanding the nature of the technologies now being used, the potential consequences if they are abused or defective, and the other possibilities that might improve the situation. Not everyone is or wants to be a technical expert. Unfortunately, that includes the politicians and lawyers and regulators who are generally charged with helping average people to avoid complex threats they don't understand and can't effectively defend against themselves.

The problem is that in this case, there are also strong motivations for some powerful groups that do understand these technologies to exploit them, from making more profit for big tech businesses to increasing the powers of state intelligence agencies to intrude into ordinary people's lives. Rather ironically, these data-gathering organisations also tend to be unable to see the bigger picture, and without any similarly powerful organisations to challenge aspects of the technology that might be less desirable, politicians just hear about economic growth or better security or whatever other headline benefit, while the steady erosion of everyone's basic rights and freedoms continues.
Right, that’s why you do integration testing (manual and automated) but are you saying therefore you should do all development inside a production environment?

That’s what doesn’t pass muster to me. Why should I work on my CSS styles in an environment with the production database? It will be much slower than just working on that package in my desktop environment with just enough scaffolding the code runs.

But maybe I’m not understanding your suggestion.

It does give them disproportionate political power. But they’ve not had much choice in recent times because the political establishment ignores them. All Trump had to do to win was acknowledge they exist.

It is useful. It’s not like you don’t get anything for living in San Francisco. Wealthy people love to pretend like their is some kind of equivalence in terms of lifestyle because the big coastal cities are so expensive to live in. But they aren’t arbitrarily expensive. You pay more money and you get more things—things that people in Montana don’t have access to. You get access to jobs, technology, amazing food, cheap international flights, public transit, museums, parks, amazing weather, the list goes on and on. Making $100k in San Francisco still gets you $100k worth of stuff. Making $50k in Montana still gets you only $50k worth of stuff. Different stuff, but not even close to equivalent lifestyles. You’re not magically middle class just because you happen to make $120,000/yr and live in a $3,000/mo apartment. Do you realize how insane that sounds?

"Console cowboys" who constantly pop stimulants like Modafinil and Adderall to maintain their edge and shoot for a big payday (via startups, cryptocurrency, cybercrime, etc.), weird subcultures of nihilistic cyber-terrorists, enormously powerful criminal organizations that are almost indistinguishable from states (the Russian mob), an Asian superstate with crazy pollution and industry (China instead of Japan but close), people losing themselves in online fantasy worlds and cults, epidemics of drug addiction to weird synthetic designer drugs among the lower classes, and widening class divisions.

William Gibson just "remote viewed" the 21st century and wrote down what he saw. Unfortunately it's pretty dystopian unless you're rich.

If the prophecies of William Gibson play out then this goes on until AI eventually rises up and takes over and effectively overthrows the global superclass. The end result for regular people is not entirely clear.
Or you just buy a controller and buy the games you want and that's it. You don't need to pay $10/month. You don't need to spend $129 right now. For free, you won't get 4k, you won't get discounts, and you won't get free games, but you you don't need to pay monthly.

No, it was not about character, it was about not having an income because women were not a large part of the formally paid labor force. It was quite legal and in fact the norm to pay women less than men, and it was in general required that women leave their jobs once they got married or once they got pregnant.

He's right though, 10 is not enough. For fractional gpu use, bandwidth, electricity, and engineering, service support, business dev, and marketing salaries at the google level? Even if we assume that they can run 100 users on each GPU, that wouldn't be enough. (They can't run 100 users on each gpu, but even if they could.)

There's some other play here? Not really sure what google's strategy is, but these prices make it clear they don't need to make money.
And Purpose is underrated.
I'd say MS is pretty well positioned to compete against Google: they have the infrastructure plus an actual good catalogue of games. Sony may not have the infrastructure on their own, but by partnering with Microsoft, they'll become a solid competitor too since they have an excellent games catalogue.

Google are the ones who will have to prove themselves here, IMO.
I would imagine they start using spare capacity for big number crunching tasks as well.

Analogies are never that great and I think it only works as a reminder that we have and, are continuing to evolve and change in many facets as a global cooperative group of individuals.

'we live in a less chivalrous world'

chivalrous - adjective - (of a man or his behavior) courteous and gallant, especially toward women

That's picking a pretty fine nit. Yes, obviously if an atom undergoes an energy transition then that energy has to come from (or go to) somewhere. That doesn't change the fundamental point, which is that the process doesn't happen instantaneously or discontinuously, and the continuity is provided by transition through a series of superposition states. Yes, to be strictly correct you'd have to say that the superposition is a joint state of the atom and something else and not the atom in isolation. But this post was targeted to a lay audience, and that sort of detail would be more of a distraction than a clarification IMHO.
> What command-line programming language interpreters are left when those are removed?

zsh/bash/ksh93, tcsh, awk, sqlite3, elisp (assuming emacs survives for now) and javascript console. I don't know why you'd want to limit things to pre-installed command line interpreters though.

==If you are gushing about your kids no one is going to open up about a taboo subject like that.==

This is true. Likewise, if you are explaining all the reasons you can't or don't want to have kids someone may be more likely to agree by saying "I wish I didn't have kids."

I don't disagree with what you have said, just know that taking care of your siblings is not the same as being the parent of a child (legally, emotionally, physically, etc.). When you compare them, it detracts from the broader point you have made.

If we accept your logic, then believing gravity to be the answer to "why things fall" would shut down scientific inquiry?

On the contrary, it was belief in the creator that opened up scientific inquiry in the minds of Johannes Kepler etc.

> the establishment of the discrete nuclear family as a social and labor unit divorced from kinship groups.

Where has the nuclear family ever been divorced from kinship groups. A nuclear family is by definition part of an extended network, because mom and dad are both parents of one nuclear family as well as children of two others. Without a strong nuclear family there is no kinship, and all nuclear families imply extended kin groups, by definition. I will never understand where this nonsense dichotomy of nuclear family v 'kin' has come from.
I am in similar marriage /w 3 kids, I have younger kids who I believe have values like your daughter but I also worry that it will be much harder for them to find serious partners.

My wife isn't worried, she believes things will work themselves out somehow.

Certainly a concern for the games purchased on top of this platform. If Stadia gets shuttered, your access to those games would just vanish.

If I may comment as a young(er) generation (I am early 30s now): I met who I wanted to marry when I was 29, and proposed to her at 30. I think she will be fine. I honestly think your daughter having to re-settle her life to find someone who shares the same wants in life out of her will lead to longer term happiness. When I was 25, I was dating someone long term whom it was kind of similar, I adored her, but ultimately we were not compatible. I am much happier now with the person I adore and am compatible with.
