We can't even simulate the dynamics of a simple atomic system in an exact way, without making assumptions. The universe is that but with many many more atoms and complicated couplings. The universe is much more powerful of a simulation than any computer can ever be. Even if you used a quantum computer you'd need as many qubits as that original primordial soup.

Our computers are not more powerful than the "computer of the Universe", they are much _much_ less powerful.
Why would we assume subjective experience can't be recreated digitally?

Inert "code" can't suffer, of course. But assuming we accept the materialistic view, what reason do we have to believe that a mind in a simulated body has any less subjective experience than a mind in a "real" body?

The beguiling promise of decentralised finance
I had the misfortune of being forced into the only good high school option in my city, a brutalist structure made in the 60s.

It was so ugly. Every time it rained, the concrete became streaked with sludge and gross lines. The few windows weren't glass, they were semi opaque plastic to save money. They put in extra small windows so they could fit in window AC units, but ran out of money, so there was neither AC nor large windows nor even screens. The stairwells all had these "artistic" gaps on the sides, 4 inches of nothing, so many kids threw shit down those and there was no reason for them, they limited the useful width of the stairs.

To top it all off, there was asbestos and lead paint everywhere, we knew we were exposed to toxins but they had no budget to repair it. They actually cut music completely for half of my years because it's less important than the other subjects, I suppose? Inner city public schools in the USA, very budget limited.

Brutalism was, in my aesthetic opinion, one of the downright ugliest movements in art history.
The issue is high level = any detectable level above zero, especially if man made and easily preventable.

I guess if the US were to ban crypto, it would go down somehow similarly. Not convinced that crypto would drop to 0 though. And the practical challenges of enforcing a crypto ban are... unique.
In fact jury selection is notorious for discarding potential jurors with intelligence, critical thinking, legal awareness, or domain expertise. Jurors reflect the part of society least qualified to be making these decisions.

Attorneys do not want thinkers, they want predictable cogs in the court machine.

There are many theories about this. I like this youtubers analysis note: contains a short sponsored ad for a game of US vs China entirely on their own.

Trying to get a bit closer:

[1] says median household income is apparently 4.8k€/month, so around 58k€/year (before tax). Average housing prices seem to be between 250k and 400k (couldn't find a good source). That would be 4.3~6.9 ratio. (edit: Quality of this estimate is probably still low.)

Personally, I believe (affordability of) average housing prices to be a very useless statistic, due to the extreme regional and local variation in housing prices (and incomes). But maybe I am wrong about that and it is a good indicator.

If you ask me, neither the prosecutor nor the defense attorney should be the ones striking jurors. I don't have a full solution to that, either, but it seems like voir dire is one way attorneys try to stack the deck, often times by excluding the most qualified jurors.

But, I agree - it must first and foremost be a jury of the accused's peers - but that doesn't mean "man on the street style average joe" necessarily.
It gives you a benefit in the real world vs a benefit in a virtual world. It's not that different especially for people who spend more time in virtual worlds than the real one.
This is natural and not a country’s decision. Cars can be mass produced. Convenient locations to live, can’t.

Yugoslav New Age Punk
This seems analogous to using an AI. We trained it, it seems to mostly do what we want it to do, but we don't entirely understand how (or what cues and confounding factors might be in play that wouldn't like if we did know about).

Do jurors respond the same way to a black-box "expert" if it's not furry?
This shows a greater dilemma: we don’t want a caste of legal experts making fundamental decisions for an individuals life, but the alternative of getting a jury consisting of the average population who lack sufficient education also doesn’t lead to an outcome one would want when on trial.

I wonder if there is a middle ground solution where the jury decides on parts of a trial independently without knowledge of other parts, e.g. only on admitting a piece of evidence.
The problem with slicing is that here in 3d we would slice with 2d plane, but when you are in 4d, should you slice with 2d plane or 3d something? (3-1=2 so 4-1=3) or is slicing always 2d plane, says who?

This is exactly why I don't put 100% trust in these apps that claim e2e encryption. It's trivial to update the app and destroy the contract if the company is willing and cooperating. You need hardware based security to make it truly impossible, like the case of unlocking and iPhone, although I honestly don't know how hardware based security could be leveraged for chat. Maybe in a similar way to how DRM works where the CPU never has access to the data and something else is drawing the pixels on the screen?

> Because people dismiss the latest lofty vision of a tech behemoth

No, the reason is because many new technologies are dismissed here not due to technical infeasibility, but because posters cannot understand the point or value proposition. When this is happening in response to technologies that many people are using and investing in as early adopters, which provides proof of some kind of value at a minimum, is generally speaking a sign of being out of touch to write it off entirely as doomed to fail, vaporware, etc, because you simply do not understand what people are investing their time and capital in.

For example this comes up continually with VR and AR and crypto, extremely rapidly growing technologies with tons of capital flooding into them. It's one thing to say we can't do something, it's another thing to see entire industries forming around you and tons of capital being allocated and saying it will all fail simply because you don't see the point.

I’m not sure this was the reasoning. None of the languages in the direct Algol heritage have any sort of parametric polymorphism, including for range bounds, so working with arrays (which were, at least in Pascal, the primary application of range types) was either constant and repetitive fighting with the compiler or unsafe escape hatches all the way. (Usually both.) I believed this was the primary motivation for the removal of ranges.

(Of course, it’s literally impossible to make polymorphic range bounds work completely, due to the undecidability of Peano arithmetic. The most convincing attempt I’ve seen that doesn’t just go full dependent types on you is ATS, and even that is not exactly the friendliest of environments.)

Another system whose evolution was explicitly guided by self-compilation speed is Chez Scheme, and it’s a fine one. Generally it seems to me that it’s a valid optimization principle, but not a global one: you can fall into an unfortunate local minimum if you start in the wrong place. ... Well, so what, it’s not like there are any infallible design principles in programming.

Many countries follow that pattern of having patients subject to physiologically unreliable personnel; others impose some limiting rules ("No, doctor, you cannot be in the panel for the examinations of medicine students on Saturday: on Monday you operate in the surgery room and you are required to rest, just like personnel in civil aviation"); nonetheless, that some goodsensical boundaries are set is not a warranty for a properly set up system - also in those territories I have seen other personnel completely untrained on basic procedures (like nurses staring at you waiting silent for a minute, or in stillness expecting something inexplicit, then shouting "SOOOO?!" bovinely).

Anyway, yes, I consider territories in which the use sleep deprived medical personnel is tolerated a strong sign of lack of civilization, when the important factor appears that some of them state "Yes we are used to it" (?! !!!) instead of, say, "We were unduly forced by understaffing" - that some of them have no idea of the difference is a huge alarm bell.
Peer groups are easier to find. Peers of a similar career level will be far more available for discussions, as well. This can be as simple as a local Discord group focused on your domain. Search for meetups about web development, JavaScript, and related topics and look for associated forums or Discords. Join them all and try them out.

I’ve been a mentor in some mentorship groups targeted at college students and recent graduates. One of the common misunderstandings is that mentors usually provide sparse but high-value direction, but we’re usually not available for frequent 1:1 tutoring or programming guidance. That needs to come from within your company or from peers working through similar problems.

Brno was a really nice place to visit, as an uncultured American :)

It was the first city I've been to that felt truly oriented around walking and public transportation instead of being swarmed by cars. And I really enjoyed the overall aesthetic of the city.
"And, I have also been reading the claims of programs going to switch to OpenGL 'any time soon' since the 2000s, with people backing out of the idea always due to 'drivers' or the like."

I really don't know what else to tell you. Like I said, GTK4 and Qt are already using it. Chrome/Electron is using it, and Firefox will have it very soon. Wayland didn't break anything here, that and improvements in the drivers were just the missing pieces to finally complete the transition. Really, developers have been trying to ditch X for an extremely long time, you just said you've been hearing them talk about it for 20 years. Well as you know it takes a long time to rebuild everything.

"I was perusing the KDE source and the only program I could find is plasma-widgets"

I can think of several: KDE Connect, KSysGuard, System Settings, Kamoso, Kongress, there are more but I can't remember all of them! And yes, the entire shell also uses QML and Qt Quick.

"I use latest released version of Gnome and it is not."

This happened in GNOME 40 so your distro may be behind. See some docs from like 6 months ago: https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-40.html#p...

"i.e. ALWAYS when using X as backend. It is the default. What else are they going to use, the PostScript backend? "

No, the image backend is probably what you would consider the default because it works everywhere and can be used for off-screen rendering. In my experience Cairo Xlib surfaces are actually pretty uncommon because client side operations are done so frequently.

0 for 2. The first-party stick with OS 10.5 gives an "IDK applications are not supported on this device" dialog; the TCL TV, with OS 10.0 and no update available, just black-screens and stays that way till I hit Home.

I'm not really sure what the point is here, if I'm honest. Why even bother releasing an SDK with such limited device support, especially pitched at hobbyists who can be assumed to have (and want to support) the widest device range of any developer segment? It's not as if I'm going to buy new hardware just to look at my calendars and other day-planning info over coffee on my kitchen TV rather than my phone...
> Its not a jury of your peers if its a jury of only the sharpest or most educated people.

I think the ‘jury of your peers’ thing is meant to be in the sense of ‘all men are created equal’. They don’t, I presume, intelligence test the defendant and if they score lowly, screen the jury to admit only dumbasses.
And the acquisitions begin. It's clear they're ready to throw big money at making this "metaverse" a thing. They're probably trying to prove to their investors that they're comitted
Isn't it the other way? We're creating artificial abundance (requiring the currency to unboundedly grow) in a system with real and artificial limits (construction capacity, labor capacity, permitting and zoning drag) that forces people into either doing something individually wise but socially stupid (turning a need into an investment) or fall off the devaluation treadmill

That's a really interesting observation!

To be fair, there's only 4 top-level comments from that same time. Given a big enough audience it's reasonable to think that this would happen from time to time.

The Roku interface is great and I would much prefer it over the likes of Apple TV.

However, Roku collects your viewing data (including by taking screenshots) and anything else it can about you (eg. the TCL Roku TVs have mics) and sell it to its valued partners.

This is all in the EULA.
The reason is that if you’re working in any realistic room people have in their house you’ll be standing or sitting or laying down.

Ah, I meant for the programmer to empathize with the user.

If you have people dedicated to those roles, they should be the ones that decide what to do by default. As such, programmers don't really need to care about the user at all (although they can)

That’s because it was socialist modernism - a utopian vision that drove support. A sort of more sustainable socialist version of the American dream. I live in such a neighborhood myself - it’s not very glamorous but it’s what living should be like in the age of environmental collapse.
Perhaps they thought they could deal with it in their own time. Instead, the world marched on.
Still risky. Any piracy of mine stopped once I had enough disposable income (and Steam etc. came along) to more conveniently buy the game. Which is an interesting commentary on the supposed lost sale for every pirate copy: when I couldn't afford it, there was no potential sale actually lost. I certainly understand budget-driven piracy though.

Anyway, if you're running pirate copies of any variety, I'd recommend a sandbox of some sort. VMware Player is free, and in my experience faster than VirtualBox. It won't passthrough a dedicated GPU though so it would only be good for older games. you'd need Workstation Pro to get that. Or a Linux distro like Proxmox that runs a bare-metal hypervisor.
Obviously. But they also have an interest in controlling how many people they run into on their trails and how long the lines are for the ski lifts at Tahoe.
You're doing God's work. I don't use nvidia drivers, but do enjoy my Arch Linux installations very much. They are always up to date, but very rarely break in practice (IME, YMMV). Thanks for everything you do.
I've used them all as well. I've found the best to be a rooted android TV box. idk if they still make them like they used to, but the Nexus player was by far the best TV box I've used after installing Kodi, adblock, and rooting.

I would love a dumb TV with one of these lil boxes again, but finding dumb TVs is hard and they're usually expensive and for commercial use from what I've found
> because five stories high gives you plenty of density, and that's doable in "pretty" styles as many European cities show.

Lol. Plenty of density is relative. It does give you more than the average density of a West coast city, which is enough to get upvotes here, though, so there is that.

> Your mention of economic constraints also sounds a bit strange to me, because there has been a lot of economic growth in the past couple centuries.

There is an order of magnitude more regulation. Or maybe an order of magnitude more paperwork?
Neither authenticity nor vulnerability are all that important (or I'd argue, even welcome) in a business context.

I mean... if you're comparing it to Linux and MacOS, then I think Windows is just about dead last for most uses. WSL is great, but it's slow and has tons of edge cases where it just breaks (like IPv6 for example). That's not to say that Windows isn't getting better for development, but if the only thing you care about is development then you'd probably be better served by a lighter-weight operating system.
It is a bit ironic that Roku, which started life as a “Netflix Box” and developed this limited development ecosystem in order to perform on cheap hardware (they always wanted to keep the price under $100) now crashes using Netflix on underpowered devices. Note: as stated above Netflix uses non-public C APIs to run their own engine.
I'm pretty sure you are mistaken. You cannot write a server in starlark. You can't even open files.
