> dangerous behavior should be hard to reach and inconvenient to use

I understand your point, but to me that is exactly the case. It requires the extra "mut" (harder to reach) and is inconvenient to use (more compiler errors).

My point is; Rust gives you the choice. If you need mutability due to performance, or something like that, you can have it (at the cost of simplicity and convenience).

Also, "dangerous behavior" is not allowed, in this example threads sharing mutable and immutable reference to the same object.

Why not? The obvious difference is that an adults nervous system is developed while an infant's is still developing.

"Early life stress may have a lasting impact on the developmental programming of the dopamine (DA) system implicated in psychosis." [1]

I highly recommend Gabor Maté's book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" for a deeper discussion of how various types of pre- and postnatal stress impact a person's proclivity towards addictive behavior and ADHD.

But even for adults extreme and overwhelming stressful experiences can cause long-lasting and even multigenerational psychological consequences through epigenetic mechanisms.

I've found that envy is proportional to our own insecurity, self doubt, unhappiness with our own lives, etc.

The more confident, self assured, and happy I became with my own life, the more the envy went away. The more I became happy for that person's success. Also I've found that there more I know and like a person, the less envy I felt.

I have the first generation (2015) of macbook 12 and while is not very powerful it is enough for programming (jvm, idea, vagrant) and standard browser/office usage. Seeing that I will need to replace it soon and that a macbook is no longer an option, I think a surface pro 7 will be the replacement. The point you mention re. lap usage, though, is my main concern.
A safe starting point - I generally assume Reneweconomy.com.au is wrong about everything substantive until it has been reported by someone else. And in this case their insight into the details German energy grid is going to be extremely limited.

That being said, brown coal is a completely different beast from black coal. Gas also has a lot of fundamental differences. If it makes sense to split wind and solar, it makes sense to split brown and black coal.

A key detail; brown coal is not going to appear as an export. If you shut down a brown coal power plant, less coal will be mined. If you shut down a black coal power plant, maybe the coal is still mined and then exported.

i'm aware that immutable datastructures are implementable in plenty of languages, that's not the point of my argument.

top comment claim is that clojure's approach to identity and value-semantics is somehow superseded and invalidated by rust's ownership and borrow checker, which is just too much koolaid. example i gave illustrates that given rust's default tools somebody will either have to deal with unnecessary low level errors (has nothing to do with high-level business logic of "i need this array to have new data") or will find a way to write incorrect code. none of that will happen given clojure's default tools.
It's the economy of scale. Nuclear costs are do to limited production of plants and the strictness of regulations. The costs could be lowered significantly if plants were built at scale. As is almost every plant is one of kind in the west where as China they are cheap because they just crank out the same design that has all the engineering and construction all figured already which is the bulk of construction costs.

"Roof knew George Zimmerman, who killed Martin, was the real victim, but he wanted statistics to prove what he felt in his gut."

Martin was a 6ft tall lean-addled thug with a history of violence and theft who ambushed Zimmerman and was bashing his head into a concrete pavement. Zimmerman feared for his life and was forced to defend himself with lethal force. Those are the facts that can be gathered from Martin's autopsy, his text messages, school records, the court records and Zimmerman's original video testimony to the police. What happened to Martin was tragic but he chose it. What happened to Zimmerman was an utter disgrace.

This is hard to believe. I'm paying more than that for a household of 1. For 3 ppl, the typical comparison platforms quote EUR 900 p.a. as the cheapest option (3,500kWh estimate).

The average price in Germany is close to 30ct per kWh, plus some kind of fixed base fee...

Agreed ; but the fact that people notice the pattern and are either amused or disappointed by it, to me is telling that maybe they're doing something wrong about it.

Google isn't a startup and tends to shutdown services that are popular but on which they can't find a correct business model (e.g. Reader or Inbox) without much warning, actual replacement options, or open sourcing solutions for self hosting.

Since they're so large, that creates a discrepancy between the stability you would expect from an established company, and the "kill your babies" culture they clearly have.

Past behaviour predicts future behaviour, and so people start to notice that and lose trust, which is a problem when you start asking for significant investments from your customers (e.g. Stadia or Nest).

But you have to realize there are so many things are going on you might not be aware of eg. relations, background, even luck!

Instead, try to exploit your recognition of their success and ask/learn about their story. That will help you a lot too.

When you think that way: they went through a path instead of you so you can now explore their story and get their experience much faster.

And don't forget: when there are 10 competitors with virtually the same skills and performance its still only one who wins the contest with the prize and goes away with all the chicks. The others seem to be unsuccessful from a bird view, but in reality there might be not much difference in value.

I absolutely haven't gotten that feeling from the mechanical keyboard community.

They seem pretty accepting of anything, and are often more concerned with finding the right keyboard for what you want. There are jokes and memes that go around, but not many people have issues with any kinds of switches.

Some people really prefer the tactile feel, and others really want the super high activation forces. It's a tradeoff, and there are more options now than ever.

I have a split ortholinear keyboard with Kailh blue 50cN activation force "clicky" switches, a BDN9 macro pad with Cherry MX White (80cN "clicky" switches), a planck with cherry MX brown 55cN quiet "tactile" switches, and an aging das-keyboard 4 ultimate that I replaced the stock greetech switches with MOD L Linear switches with a 45cN activation weight.

I have to say that I thought the lighter activation would be nice, but it was actually MORE stressful for my hands because even though I wouldn't normally accidentally activate the switch by resting my hands, if I moved too quickly or kind of let my fingers relax it would press down enough sometimes to type accidentally, leading to me kind of "hovering" my fingers above the keys all the time. I also missed the tactile feel that I was getting used to on other boards to avoid having to "bottom out" the keys for the most part.

I'm not going to say it's worse for everyone, but for me I greatly prefer 50-70cN activation force for typing, and I really like the "heavy" feel of the cherry MX White switches for my macro pad. You may like the lighter force switches. In that case you may want to go for linear switches as they tend to have smaller activation weights. Take a look at the Kalih silver or copper switches, or the cherry MX speed silver if you can find them. They are about as light as mechanical switches come.
Sure, that is true, you can sometimes see the difference in two 8-bits-per-channel colors. But, it takes both time and more than one pair of photoreceptive cell in your eyes to see that difference. There’s a tradeoff between color resolution and spatial resolution. Your spatial resolution at the sensitivity of seeing the difference in 8-bit colors is way lower that 150 megapixels.

BTW, 24 bit colors that are carefully done, paying proper attention to color space and gamma, have been specifically designed to be at the JND (just-noticeable difference) with a 1-bit change in value. If you can always and reliably see the difference between any pair of 24 bit colors that are only 1 bit different, then you have abnormally good color vision. It’s statistically unlikely for that to be true, but some people do have it.

> 1. Most neural network architectures have fewer "neurons" than 10^5. Maybe the word you are looking for is "parameters"

That's a fair point, I shouldn't have said "typically." But some of the larger models probably have that many linear filters.

> 2. A neuron in the brain and a neuron in a neural network are totally different things.

There are certainly disanalogies between biological neurons and neurons in a vanilla feed-forward network, but A) there are analogies as well and B) a lot of interesting work is being done to make deep learning models stdp compatible.

At any rate, I think it's a reasonable claim that an insect brain has representational power closer to a SOTA ANN than it does to a human brain (though I welcome anyone here who knows about biologically plausible deep learning and/or insect brains to prove me wrong)
Three of these methods are effectively, "My life is probably better than theirs anyway," and two are, "It wasn't a fair fight anyway."

This might work on a surface level, but you're just plastering over the problem, not rising above it.
I agree, but I was trying to simplify for someone who said "they have a rudimentary understanding". There's many distinctions to make: on the right there's paleoconservatives, neo conservatives, right-leaning libertarians, nationalists, right-leaning populists, fascists, and classical liberals. On the left there are social liberals, democratic socialists, left-leaning populists, left-leaning libertarians, socialists, anarchists, and neoliberals. What I see overall is a coalition of anarchists and neoconservatives to pressure neoliberals and libertarians to deplatform all groups on the right besides the neoconservatives.

I don't think it has anything to do with developer efficiency. My impression is that client-side development is seen by developers as sort of an unimportant throwaway specialization. Nobody cares about it or bothers to learn any of it even to be able to produce something of quality. First thing people stumble upon is the thing they decide to learn, which almost always means popular javascript framework of the month or whatever. Progressive enhancement, UX, accessibility are all unreachable expert level things to them. I guess my point is there are simply almost no skilled client-side developers available for hire for large organizations to be able to do well on this.

> if (some) animals don't feel pain, then how do they know to avoid dangerous behaviours? What is the mechanism that keeps them from, say, jumping into the fire?

This is exactly why the robot analogy originally raised by Hendrikto is so powerful. Robots/neural nets/etc illustrate that it is possible for an agent to avoid dangerous behaviours without being motivated by feelings.

I agree that this doesn't prove that insects don't have feelings - it shows that an agent doesn't need to be conscious to exhibit these sorts of behaviours.

Where I disagree is your claim that it has no bearing at all on the argument. It does bear on the argument, because it presents an alternative hypothesis that doesn't involve attributing mental life to insects. Very (very) roughly speaking the alternative is something like "an insect brain is a neural network, which, while not created by conscious designer, was chiseled by evolution to respond to stimuli in such a way that dangerous behaviours are avoided - in much the same way that an atari-playing artificial neural network trained by reinforcement learning avoids dangerous behaviours that will end the game - and just like the ANN playing atari, no consciousness is required - just the right model parameters. And similarly, no conscious designer ever explicitly told the neural network what to do. The programmer just set up the right incentives, in the same way that nature set up the right incentives for the insect."

I can see the arguments on both sides, but I think the "insects are kinda like robots" hypothesis is more plausible because an insect brain has a more similar number of model parameters to a deep q learning network than it does to a human brain.
