That looks painful, I really hope people don't rely on their car braking for them, ever.. I have a friend who I avoid riding with at all costs, he sees rain but doesn't let go off the pedal. His car disengages the throttle when it detects the tires losing traction. He legit stomps his foot down and waits for the car to decide his speed on turns(we all have tried talking to him without siccess). This is what we are headed towards. People expecting certain automatic functions once they get used to them. These are heavy vehicles moving at fast speeds. Please build your own FSD roads if you wanna 'drive' in the future.

>So it doesn't really matter who can push code to what repo. It only matters who can organise the majority of computational power.

No, the economic majority[1] also matters. If the miners decided to hardfork bitcoin and double their mining rewards, and the non-mining users did not support this change, their fork would fail because nobody would accept their coins. This is exactly what happened to the segwit2x fork[2], which was arguably less contentious than doubling mining rewards.

We'll probably never know, unfortunately.

Tesla has delivered for New York what was contracted in terms of jobs and the factory is used for making solar panels. If they hadn't, they would have had to pay a penalty.
I guess the piece of the puzzle that I am missing is how does the change go from repo to prod. Do the miners need to pull the latest code from GitHub?
I was talking more about solar and wind installations, as well as battery tech and the low power consumption of modern tools.

20-30 years ago, if you wanted a stable ~3KW supply, you needed a generator and diesel/petrol. Lights, computers, power tools consumed an immense amount of power compared to today.

Now you can have one turbine and several solar panels coupled with a battery bank and you have the same supply of electricity without burning anything. It can power your whole house and everything you own for decades.

I'm a fan of decentralized energy production, though.

> #2 and #3 are about old-school types.

There absolutely are approaches to this that don't fall foul of my complaints, but when you say 'old-school types' I think you're talking about Java and non inferred types.

I was including other more modern languages in my criticism. Scala for example ends up with pretty hairy types very quickly for higher level code. So much so that they made the documentation system lie about the types to make it easier to understand.

And most currently popular languages don't give you runtime access to types and allow you to treat them as first class.

The languages that allow you to deal with types with the same language you write code in are not remotely mainstream. So unless by 'old school' you include all mainstream languages then I disagree.

On the contrary, church managed charities are often among the more effective when ranked by global impact then measured as funds put to use versus overhead.

For instance:

"For every cent donated to ADRA Indonesia, 87% is used for programs that benefit children, families and the community 5% will be used for administration and 8% will be used again for fundraising. We always strive to keep overhead costs low and use the funds collected fully for those in need."

I would think, given how popular bitcoin is, every single change that goes into the code is reviewed by hundreds or thousands of developers. Malicious code will most likely be caught, and then someone can just fork it at that point and everyone who cares about their BTC investment will switch over to the new chain.

Edit: To your point, physical disabilities are meaningful, but hawking is in large part known for his difficulties communicating not being rude. Etiquette still applies to the written word for example.

Anyway, you can’t speak without interrupting the speaker, but you can gesture. Similarly, people don’t constantly walk around repeating I am angry/sad/happy/etc. Etiquette is a constant framework and channel of communication where spoken language is for specifics. The words you say can be less important than the volume, timing, etc of how you say them. Grunts may work assuming they fit in with social conventions.

The grammar of etiquette is similarly important. Prisoners may fight each other, but the vast majority of the time their doing something else. Fail to communicate well, and it may just get you killed.

PS: Though I may be overusing the etiquette as language analogy, it’s a very close fit.
I used to be the same way. While I generally scoff at "natural"-sounding cures, tea tree oil (sometimes called melaleuca oil) shampoos have literally cured my problem. I don't know the mechanics of it, but it works extremely well. If you feel like trying it, make sure you get one that is really strong smelling (not a bad thing, the smell is pleasant). I use Paul Mitchell, but others have worked for me too...just not the really cheap ones that barely smell like it.
Psychological tactics used to make people buy more
Bitcoin is set up such that there is no auto-updating feature. Any change to Bitcoin must be accepted manually by all participants.

But there's still a question of "how many people actually review the changelog before updating?" It's a very small number, but that might be okay. If a bad actor pushes malicious code through, all you need is one person to raise the alarm.

In general, Bitcoin is very well reviewed. I don't think it would be easy for a bad actor (even a good actor who is being compelled in secret by a state actor) to push through malicious code. But it's hard to be certain exactly how robust Bitcoin is to this type of thing.

The culture of Bitcoin is highly resistant to changes in the core code. Even optimizations are increasingly scrutinized. Attempts to influence the core devs ("psyops") are also likely to fall flat, simply because the core devs have gone to great lengths to ensure that there is a lot of red tape to making changes, and that larger changes take years to get through with hundreds of eyes of review.
The hard-problem of consciousness might be the most ironic problem of all, because it may be that consciousness is the only thing that exists.

I suppose you’d get the hard-problem of matter if that was the case? Or wouldn’t you? It seems that idealism doesn’t run into the same problem. It’s easy to see how matter could simply be simulated in consciousness (we feel that every day). Especially if individual consciousnesses are simply child processes of a parent consciousness. But it’s harder to see how consciousness comes from matter.

> Sure you can leave the windows open, but that defeats the purpose. Modern home needs to be ventilated three times a day, that means opening all the windows in the morning, when you get home in the afternoon and before going to bed. How many people will remember to do that?

I don't really understand your objection. in a leaky old style building without an effective moisture/thermal barrier, you don't get to choose whether ventilation is happening; it always is. with modern sealing, you can open the windows if you prefer fresh air, or you can enjoy much more efficient AC/heat if you don't. why couldn't you live in a modern home and just leave the windows open? it's easy to get a good draft going in any multifloor building with windows.
Web development is an example. Fast iteration is the thing that I like. I have so far associated fast iteration with dynamic languages, and it is certainly the case that my experience is that most fast iteration systems are dynamic.

But maybe that simply reflects a concern of the relevant communities. If strongly typed language systems start adding fast iteration approaches to things and are able to achieve a similar level of quick iteration then that will definitely address one of the things I dislike about them. I haven't coded significant amounts of haskell since 2000, but back then what you could do interactively was very restricted.

At the end of the day, the compiler is doing a bunch more stuff in strongly typed languages. It's like taking a bunch of your verification infrastructure and saying 'these must run before you're allowed to see the result of what you wrote'. It will necessarily be slower, although with work maybe it won't be so much slower that it matters.

> things to do

Wouldn't defining those things be both more difficult and more important than the decision-making process itself? For example-- if you choose the list of options by intuition, how do you know it's not full of aliases? To borrow from the old joke: flipping a coin to decide whether to listen to "country or western?"
I'd like to understand this perspective. The predictions I've seen, even for a worse case scenario, would result in huge levels of sea rise inundating coastal areas, large parts of the Earth becoming uninhabitable for humans, massive ocean die offs, climate-change induced wars, etc.

This would quite obviously result in death and misery for billions (again, this is the worst case scenario), but I haven't seen any evidence that the Earth will become fundamentally uninhabitable a la Venus.

So it would be a disaster in any sense of the word, but I don't see how it would become a humanity-ending event. I'd like to understand why people think otherwise.
There are multiple competing full clients.
I remember a conversation with one of my friend where I expressed my dislike for E. Musk and used it as a reason as to why I would never buy a Tesla ( if I could afford it, one can dream :) ). His answer was simply "Do you think the CEO of Ford, Renault, etc. is more likeable?" and I think it is a really good point. We see them less in the media and they probably don't go on strange Twitter rant, but CEO of other car manufacturer are probably not any better then E. Musk when it comes to worker right and all.

Now, I still consider Tesla to be a luxury car, and not a green car. And if you want to be green, buying a second-hand car is often gonna be better than a brand new one, even if electric.

Those rules too exhibit cross-language conceptual shear. For example, English doesn't really have an equivalent of Latin's subjunctive mood, and our clause boundary system is way weaker. We use punctuation marks in a way that the Romans didn't (they used punctuation words in a much more systematic way than we do). Greek has a separate grammatical number for pairs of things as opposed to our singular and plural. Those rules, in addition to the individual words (perhaps) bespeak a different way of conceptualizing the world.

> My expectation is that actively selecting for work not being the most important thing in someones life is an arbitrage that is under utilised and will create a much more sustainable company in the medium to long term.

Well, let's make sure to be specific about what we mean by those "for whom work is not the most important things in their lives." There are those for whom that's the case now, but who put in the work previously to attain the level of competence they need to do the job well. Then there are those who never reached competence because they never put in the work to attain it.

My guess is that you'll have difficulty attracting and retaining the former over the latter. Perhaps one assumption that's helpful to voice (and feel free to disagree with me here) is that most of folks in the former camp are going to have multiple offers and even a high FAANG/startup salary already -- that's because plenty of companies are fine screening for folks who want that and find sustainable work hours (== "work not being the most important thing in their lives") a key part of reducing burnout and the attendant organizational replacement costs. They just want the competence part.

And so that will leave the latter category. What I can say having interviewed hundreds of candidates (many as a hiring manager) at growth stage firms is -- it's hard to even recruit what you're willing to pay for, let alone getting more than what you pay for. Buying a lemon is expensive; you still pay the recruiting costs (either time or money) and you pay the opportunity costs to try and make a not so great candidate do good work. It's like trying to squeeze blood from a stone. It's a real seller's market for talent right now. I heartily encourage you to try and prove me wrong, and if you do, more power to you. But if you run into issues, perhaps consider a couple of the things I've pointed out.

There's no harm in trying to buy a lunch for less than the lowest median price, or for free. But you shouldn't be surprised if it's not possible. At a certain point, you'll probably get hungry enough that you'll realize that such a desire is penny-wise, pound foolish. The reality is that you need to pay market price for your lunch in order to eat.

Since we're talking about consciousness right now - doesn't that mean it must have at least some impact on the physical world for our physical selves to even know about it? Just from that, I don't see how it's conceivable something could be physically identical if it lacks consciousness.
That is just another piece of metadata. But it does not help either. Now you know you get an array of strings. But you still don't know what is inside of the strings.

Help: Looking for Covid Positive People to Test Natural Treatment for Taste Loss
Have you or some you know lost their taste due to COVID? I've been working on a miracle berry product and there is a possibility it could help return taste to COVID patients. It has been used at the Miami Cancer Institute to help their chemotherapy patients, so it is not unreasonable to assume that it could be used to improve the quality of life for people who have lost their sense of taste due to COVID.

“Blocking users who block ads is no different to blocking users who don't have a premium account.”

I get what you mean: either side of the protocol can do what it wants. Also that the publisher has to cover costs via ads or some kind of payment for content, if they aren’t compensated otherwise (separate business on the side; donations).

But your wording was too broad, as it equates (“no different”) blocking content in browsers, which is allowed by design of web standards for accessibility and any reason the user wishes, and blocking via a server side subscription paywall.
