Sorry, I still don’t buy it. How often do you really have a set of features that all need to interact directly with every other feature in a well-designed system, other than for small N like, say, an MVC triangle?

Very often, a combination of better software design and standardisation can reduce the actual complexity of an implementation below the apparent complexity. For example, suppose you have a system where N components can produce a certain type of data and another M components can then consume that data. This might appear to be a system with N×M connections between components. However, these components don’t necessarily need to be directly glued together in the implementation. If you define a standard, canonical representation for this type of data, you only need each supplier to convert into that format and each consumer to convert from it, and now you have an N+M glue problem instead of the apparently N×M problem you started with.

I believe I get your point now, hopefully you will understand mine.

Looking from the outside, from the practical (economical) point of view the value/meaning of a unit does not depend on whether it is conscious or not - it just does the same job. Somebody probably can replace me with a future version of GPT3 once and not even my mom will notice (as she lives in a different country and my job also is writing e-mails).

Looking from the outside, from the moral, empathetic and spiritual points of view (although devotees of some cults will argue), and from my own actual view all lives are absolutely equally valuable and meaningful. I really feel and see this way, not because this is a moral or religious law.

I don't judge anybody based on anything, let alone on how mindful their are. I even go further and believe no criminal is actually a wicked person - they just feel and act the ways they do because they are not mindful about how bad (and conditioned) their actions are and how they could avoid them. In many cases this even is a scientific fact.

Looking from the inside, however, I indeed believe I enjoy more value out of my life if I am more awake, conscious for longer and more frequent periods of time. Simply saying it's not worth to pay for ticket and go to a cinema if you are deadly tired and will most probably fall asleep there anyway. One night on a vacation I got terribly drunk. The next morning we went to a museum and that was a waste because I could barely stand on my feet fighting drowsiness - there could be no paintings on the walls and I would not notice. The day passed as if there were no such day, I've got nothing but the next number on the calendar.

Do you understand what I mean? It absolutely isn't my goal to argue the hell out of us or convince you people with ADHD (like myself) are worthless, I only keep writing to make sure what I wrote is understood correctly (not necessarily agreed with).
One like this seems readymade for the pi.

Communal Computing’s Many Problems
The Scientific Case for P!=NP (2014)
I participated in the arbitration swarm against IndieGoGo for tortious interference after they shut down and refunded a campaign after it had completed successfully. The details of the matter aren't public but the mechanics are.

In order to participate, consumers pay a one-time fee capped at $250 and they pick up the rest. "The rest" includes the balance of the arbitration fees ($1500). Companies used to ignore this and leave people in arbitration limbo but California changed their laws a couple years back and if the company fails to pay, it automatically goes into arbitration and they have to pay after.

More importantly, $1500 each isn't the big cost. The more expensive part is they have to individually respond and work them through the process. If you have 100 or 1000, the billable hours - or even just corp legal team's hours - start racking up quickly and it ties up and slows down all other matters.

And none of this considers the consequences of the arbitrations. Win or lose the first few, people can iterate and shift the outcome over time.

So yes, it becomes a legal DDOS.. and Amazon dealing with 75k of them is a staggering number and still only a fraction of what they could have faced.

No matter which party you pick in India, there is political dynasty. Personally I don’t see that as a problem if collective experience benefits the country.

With congress, the problem is much deeper. You have one family at the helm of affairs that has practically “zero” collective experience running any kind of ministry or a state or whatever in last 30 years (since Rajeev Gandhi died in 1991).

All they have is brand “Gandhi” using which they want to use to control the country but not being directly accountable for it.
We had something similar in the Pacific Northwest of the US last month. It’s not uncommon for us to see a few days per summer in the 97-102 (36-39C) range but it will always be in the 50-60 (10-15C)range at night.

It’s rarer that we see 2 straight days. We had over a week, the humidity was high, and it wasn’t cooling off at night. I think our county had 40+ deaths they attributed to the heat. It’s absolutely miserable.

> I believe that making sex work illegal and driving it back underground is not helping that conversation.

I never indicated either of these would be solutions. I don't believe elevating sex work to a pedestal in the cultural consciousness is right or ethical. That is primarily what I am taking issue with. It can be lucrative but the toll on young women, often very young women, can be great. It's a damaging profession both to its consumers and to its creators.

Banning it will not stop it. What we need is to have a frank discussion about what it entails and stop the trend of fetishizing or glorifying it as a desirable career. It is by and large ugly and violent.
Why Cuba couldn’t control the internet
It seems you're intentionally misunderstanding me.

Let me try again: Mr X invents the lightbulb, then kills his wife. I'm not saying Mr X invention of the lightbulb excuses him for having commited murder; I'm saying that the ligthbulb is a good invention despite the person who invented it and that other people can keep using it (while the inventor rots in jail).

This is an intentionally silly example because nobody sane will cancel a useful invention because of where it came from, but when we're talking about social policies they are often inextricably tainted by who proposed them and embraced them.

You're free to say "I don't care about this subtle point you're making because I'm so concerned about this freak depriving people of human rights that we don't have time to talk about this crap you're talking about". Fair enough. What I don't accept is that you're insinuating that I'm defending this kind of behaviour just because I'm making point you're not interested in.

Thee wouldn't be a demise, it would just be a different kind of society. Males are expendable for most of society, in earlier centuries, they would die from warfare, diseases, working in high risk professions and so on. The current society we are in where we expect or desire pair bonding for life with an exclusive mate is rather new and unstable. Lost of women would be quite fine with a harem like system where they share a high quality mate with other women and now that women earn on par with men they are not limited by the male's resources being shared between children by other women.

"Module system" has many meanings. In functional languages, it has much more flexible semantics than just namespacing and data hiding declarations, so perhaps C3 means it has this sort of module system.

I find that despite my national background, there are tons of people in my country whose ideas and principles I don't share, and lots of people from other countries/cultures that I would team up with anytime.

Drawing a line primarily along cultural lines means ignoring or downplaying all of the other lines that other people might find similarly important or more so.

Why would I bias my decisions about people over other people just because they grew up within a few hundred kilometres of me? Why would I prefer helping a bunch of deadbeats from my own country over a bunch of promising bright people from halfway across the world? Because they'll stand up for me in return?

Because it's always one team against another? Fuck teams. There are my immediate friends, and outside of that I'll fight only for principles, not arbitrary teams. Everyone's a different person in their own right. Everyone deserves to be treated as who they are, not where they're from. (Cue Backstreet Boys.)

> Sex is inherently primal, bestial, even brutal in nature.

for ducks, yes.

For primates, it varies.

> rewire millions of years of evolutionary drive and wrap it up in a cute discrete transaction

I don't think one can safely make that assertion. in Humans, sex is mostly cultural. Its not like we all return to the place of our birth to spawn, or spread our gametes in sync with the moon. We have huge amounts of control over how, when, where and what rules are applied to sex. It is common to have life partners, but in practice the average life span of a sexual relationship varies from hours to many years

I suspect that you are seeing it through the lens of second hand middle class Victorian dogma. (like I do.)

We (I say we, middle class class british) are taught that a good woman is one that is faithful and obedient. A good man however is heroic, and beats women off with a stick. Other cultures are not like that. Indeed Georgian England was not like that, especially in the upper and mercantile classes. (just look at the shit that happened in Vauxhall gardens.)

But to answer your implied point, that selling one's body has always been seen as the lowest of the low. I don't think thats the case. Even in america a top quality brothel was held in higher esteem than dockers, Gong farmers or indeed peasants.
Yes, that sounds about right. "public opinion" is constructed, covid showed that pretty nicely.
> entanglement makes no sense as an optimization.

Of course, which is why the universe doesn’t typically calculate full entanglement; hence entanglement doesn’t really show up on the macro scale.

Only when you do experiments on a handful of particles, and come up with an observable that depends on their behavior (interferometry, etc), the simulation has to scramble to come up with a coherent history that agrees with your measurement, in a lazily evaluated way. The larger scale the experiments are on entangled particles, the harder the simulation has to work to make it all happen and make sense. :-)

One could say that decoherence is the universe’s way of preventing us from stealing its compute power too much.
Oh, same with recent Slovak governments, they say one thing at home and another toward EU. But it is only populism as usual that the EU could eventually work out. So far.
I have a friend who works with the DoE and this squares with what I've heard. Nuclear/DoE tends to go above and beyond even other sensitive fields.

It would not surprise me in the slightest to hear that contingency plans prioritized preventing material from falling into the wrong hands over basically all forms of collateral damage. I'm sure the NMCs are well aware they'd be hellfire missile'd before letting a nuke slip away, if those were the only choices.

The fact that NASA was defunded on the whim of the president is a strong indication that no, that money couldn't be spent much better on public research and space exploration because that money never got there. Obama's policies set NASA back a lot.

That money would be spent regardless, so why does it matter that Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson are doing it rather than any random person?

Your "bubble" is either extremists or jerks or your perception is warped. I've literally never met a person who doesn't think we should control immigration. The culture war is being fought on small edge cases like DACA, not "open borders".

I've met people who definitely would believe someone saying "we need to protect American culture" was thinly veiled code for "we need to protect white culture, and not just from immigrants". And I've met people who do mean that and are racist/antisemitic and not in the "deep south". And I've also met people who said the same words but without the racist underlying beliefs, so it's not really so simple.

> The real failure is to not have dealt with the Syrian crisis

Most migrants weren't Syrians, btw. But more importantly, I wish to remind you that when this mass migration was inflicted on Europe, the Left was very much in favor of this shitshow. There was no "dealing with the Syrian crisis" then (whatever anyone means by that). Nor was there any acknowledgement that the majority of migrants weren't fleeing Syrians. Syrians should have been helped on the ground in Syria, but only a few states seemed to promote that approach (Poland comes to mind).

All of this should suggest that the mass migration was weaponized.

Parts of states do not simply arrange independence referendums without approval from the central government. This would be “cracked down” in every single country on earth.

Scotland doesn’t arrange an IndyRef without getting a nod from London.

It is pretty common for universities to impose a 50-59.9% indirect cost (that they take in addition to the requested funding by the researchers). I've had grants where the university refused to offer a few thousands dollars of free equipment use as support in the grant (which is something required for funding) on a multi million grant. That's because universities are badly managed, they bleed money with tuition to compete with other universities, pay indecent salaries to administratives (and sometimes researchers) many universities pay millions to their basketball coach.
