> They are saying an evolutionary process that produces intelligent life is more complicated ("has more moving parts") than the intelligent life forms thus produced. How could this not be true?

because we don't know enough about evolutionary processes nor intelligent life to make statements like that, and "more complicated" is completely ill-defined.

how do we know that evolution isn't simply a few basic rules, a lot of randomness and a lot of time?
When I think of where we are as a civilization and a culture, few things are more perfect an example than the idea of competing to profit off of making meditation "sticky".

It's a weird ball of everything you need to know about us as a species right now.
Your food weight sounds low. High fat food may give you 2,000 kcal a pound; while carbs and protein half that. A 60-something might need 3,000 a 25-mile day; closer to 5,000 for a college student. Its OK to hike a week at calorie deficit. But that could weaken or injure you stretched out to months.
Does the study you linked have a section on gays? In any case, I was responding to your general claims along the lines of "gay people have to deal with this connotation all the time", not specifically about the educated gays.

I'm aware that some (many? most?) gay people live in monogamic relationships, but overall it seems likely to me that it is easier and more common to have sex for gay people. Simply because of biological incentives (no risk of getting pregnant, higher sex drive).
Would you consider WSL for DOS a good enough approximation of the reverse process?

Which was one of the issues with defined benefit plans. They were structured around long employee tenure. Move around every few years and you basically got no pension most of the time.

I personally think it's unfortunate that most people won't have defined benefit plans any longer. (I'm glad I'll have one from a long-ago 10+ year job whenever I decide to start collecting.) But it's hard to get away from the tenure requirements unless you make the system portable and then you're basically creating a shadow social security system.
It's not doing a very good job.
i woudnt exactly say its a DOS, it would be an ^ample^ collection of URLs provided to any skype user that requested it. If somescript scrapes every instance of that list everytime it shows up in a conversation, there had better be a limit to the bandwidth expended
In slovenia, we have very complicated formulas to determine the cost of heating in multi-apartment buildings, and the costs are calculated by the usage of your radiators (we have energy counters for heat in every apartment), and you add/subtract the some reduced values of your neighbors meter (the ones you share your walls with), and the things are averaged out a bit.

Basically, even if you turn all the radiators off in your apartment, you still pay around 50% or even more (if you share most of the walls) of the average heating bill.
The edit on the page is not the best. I agree!.
Mainly, if your recording is unnatural (like that one) the edit is also unnatural. However, the tool works better in an interview podcast. I would strongly recommend to just upload a sample, and you would see a big difference.

Regarding if ML would be indistinguishable from humanly edit. Hard to tell. I think it will be like self-driving cars in the future. 98% edits good 2% bad edits.
Nice job - having shown that P is the same as NP factorial will allow us to solve a lot of really hard problems!
This is very cool but I'm a bit confused by what the depths represent - is it minimum depth you need to get down to before you start seeing the animal, is it the average depth that animal lives at?

I've seen Giant Pacific Octopus diving around 20m, but this visualization lists them at 770m.

Still very cool, and I love how it is searchable in plain text (eg. I can ctrl + f and type octopus and it takes me directly to the correct depth)
Since the not-on result is 'undefined', a devilish implementer could return 1 for the off case, just to screw with people.

(How could this work in theory? Maybe the computer has a separate watchdog controller board which allows the computer to be turned on and off remotely, and that controller acts as a proxy for the API request.)

There was a time when a Swing application felt heavyweight, but today, it feels extremely lightweight (including JVM startup).

Sure, in the same way that copyright still applies to NES roms. That doesn't really stop anyone from copying them and calling Nintendo sill for asking $40 for one.
If history is any indication the answer to both of those were "they were wrong" and "caused severe financial issues to the company, if it didn't bankrupt them entirely"
One thing I also find interesting are when people think the rules change when they really don’t.

For instance, Green energy is the future yes, but it’ll take generations. So people assume the rules change faster than reality.
OK now I need to go down the rabbit hole of why other mammals don't get the bends. Here goes my evening.
Is there a way do calculate this in Excel without using a Monte Carlo simulation?
The 2000 and 2008 blowups were pretty bad but back then there were still things that could be done like running deficits or lowering interest rates. We now have huge deficits and almost zero interest already during the boom. What can the Fed or government do during the next downturn? I don’t see them having any tools left to reinflate the bubble.
what do you drive?
Rope with hook. You can even use that when visiting friends.
This assert doesn't work like you think it does. If the computer is off is_computer_on is undefined, so if this is called when the computer is already off it could return a nonzero value, thus resolving to true even though the computer is already off.
Not enough people seem aware that you can remove Edge using winget and be done with it.
Honestly, given it's limitations (4GB Max Filesize & no journaling) FAT32 should not be used for anything aside from low capacity removable storage (or a purpose which is not frequently read from/written to).

If you're sharing a library between Windows and Linux, NTFS should be your way forward, especially given the improved native R/W NTFS (NTFS3) driver that is present in newer Linux kernels (5.15+). exFAT is a marked improvement over FAT32 (no realworld filesize limit) but NTFS will probably be the least painful choice longer term (given the journaling capability).
Biased media coverage makes everyone angrier
LinkedIn breaks because of too many tracking cookies
At the beginning of an article you told an outright lie. Later you equivocate.

The idea that a lie stops being a lie because of the number of words you say later is obviously absurd.

As I have pointed out this is a motte and Bailey fallacy.

Also, it’s still a completely misleading statement. The change to ‘similar to’ doesn’t make it true. It still isn’t true, only now you have some wiggle room to claim it’s not a lie.

You are still trying to misleading people into thinking that NFTs confer ownership of the media.
This brings back memories. My professor (many years ago now) had us use JEdit when learning Java because it lets us inspect objects at runtime. Obviously not 'industry standard', but very instrumental in learning about data structures and debugging. So happy to see software like this still being maintained.

> The things that grow over time aren't part of the OS, they are user data

Unfortunately, that's not entirely true, at least for Windows. OS updates and other files are regularly stored in folders that aren't always trivial to put into a different partition. Not that this is enough of a reason to make this abomination your main install, but...
its a reference to the Modern Lovers song "Pablo Picasso" (I think)
I was going to write a comment about how rewriting both kernel and userspace from scratch simultaneously is a lot of work, and how projects like Android showed you can use Linux kernel and design completely different UX without X11, command line, Gnome, Qt, etc.

But then I clicked around and saw they did exactly the same thing, ported the SkyOS UI to a linux kernel: https://web.archive.org/web/20131207083241/http://skyos.org/... . Sadly, this did not help.
These companies still have no clue how to make profits. I wouldn’t call that “thriving”. They are still riding a huge investment bubble.
Stadia has been great for me. I just love it.
Then why is the reasoning in the linked email given as

> Another significant change in this release is that it was pointed out
that there were error messages in Linux suggesting users to update x86
CPU microcode. Since such microcode is non-Free Software, such messages
don't belong in GNU Linux-libre.

That reads very much as "we don't want to encourage users to consider updating microcode". Your argument also seems unlikely since distros ship the microcode as an extra package that gets picked up by the kernel, so clearly the ability to not upload microcode if the user doesn't provide it is there. (It makes sense that is that way and a different situation than the drivers your link discusses, since the device runs without a microcode update, whereas peripherals that need blobs often won't run at all without them)
I have a 2019 Toyota Hilux (called Tacoma's in the US) and it doesn't have any knobs or buttons at all.

Honestly I’m looking forward the most to the SteamDeck. I think it’s going to fulfill a niche that’s never been properly addressed before and I think the same way the iPhone exploded apps, the SteamDeck will drive a Cambrian explosion for games.

When you have a very stable hardware system where the specifications are well-known, it removes some of the friction involved in software development.

Gaming PC’s for the most part are more of a liability than an asset to game development, owing to the constantly need to upgrade, driven by faster and faster CPU’s. It removes the incentive to design better software.
Things like pill bottles have large diameter caps for people with dexterity problems

On a related note, if you have problems opening prescription bottles, let your pharmacist know. If the cap is put on upside down, it's much easier to open. It's no longer child-resistant, but there's a wide gripping area, and the cap top is threaded to screw into the inside of the bottle.

A lot of people don't know this.

Also, if you take a liquid medicine, every pharmacy I've visited can add flavoring to it for free, right there in the store. Things like grape or lime or bubblegum. It's supposed to help children take their medicine, but there's no reason life has to be artificially hard for adults.
> Nothing more, nothing less.

Nothing.
Clearly not. If an artist with an on-chain reputation such as Beeple creates a digital artwork and mints it on-chain and continues to do so over time and that artist's work becomes sought after, the reputation and history and story of that work being created and minted and transferred is as good as any other form of provenance.

What makes the iTunes MP3 marketplace valuable? What makes the Amazon Kindle text file marketplace valuable? Is there something about the virtual nature of NFTs that gets to you in a way that these intangible marketplaces don't? Why does itunes and Kindle not bother you? Because they have an army of lawyers to enforce copyrights and license agreements behind them? Does the convention and reputation-based open source nature of Web3 disturb you?
It's pretty simple really. You just seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an NFT actually is. It is simply a single issue token. The current implementation is nearly 100% for art purposes, in that they are tokens that point to cloud storage. As a developer I can create whatever services I want, based off of a determined, finite collection of single issue tokens. The token can do whatever the developer of the token wants it to do, and grant access to whatever services they want it to have access.

If I was to implement this with traditional web infrastructure, it would increase the scope of my project by likely 2-3 times. I am a single developer, and yeah I may have like a decade of experience at this point, but utilizing this instead of integrating traditional payment and authentication services, as well as traditional database services, dramatically decreases the scope of my project. Seriously, it would probably not be a feasible project for me alone if I stuck to traditional infra. It is empowering me, as a solo developer, to create something unique that I hope people find some enjoyment out of.

Let me be very straightforward here - I have spent the past 4 months working full time creating interactive generative art, that I 100% absolutely never would do so, unless there are economic incentives. This is an independent venture, I'm running it as my first business venture outside of the traditional corporate world, and I want to create something unique. I am planning on charging a very fair price for mint, basically only enough that if my full collection is minted and I do nothing else, then I would extend the amount of time I have until I have to go back to the corporate grind from about 6 months from now to about a year. I'm not creating a collection and charging like $500 per piece, I am targetting like $20.

Just because there is a ton of hype in the technology and people are making get quick rich schemes left and right with really low effort collections, please don't rule out the tech entirely.
Not enough people seems to be aware that even if you remove Edge, Microsoft will force you to open certain web links in their own browser, even going as far as to prevent Mozilla/Firefox for brute-force solving the problem.
Non anti-aliased fonts... That alone makes it non-atractive.
Attempting to hijack your brain's reward centers as a way to succeed with a meditation app is kind of tone-deaf. At the same time I don't think it would be successful either - does anyone really care about building a fictional garden? The whole things strikes me as doing the wrong thing and probably failing at it too.

They should have leaned more into the journaling / gratitude /overall mental health aspect - at least that's kind of a differentiating feature.

For Finland. Even if they are unionized, the unions only set the minimum rates and very reasonably inflation raises. Ofc, there is some perks negotiated, but these really aren't too major things.

With IT the actual wages are much higher than union rates, and employers will have hard time to find anyone outside fresh graduates at those rates.

And this system has broken down this year, so things might go different.
Most rational people argue that NFTs are a bubble/mania. Your argument that it's not because people are throwing wild amounts of money at them does nothing to convince us otherwise.
This reminds me of a story I read growing up. I can't find the reference now, though I'm pretty sure I read it in an old copy of "1000 and 1 Arabian Nights".

The way it went, there was a poor man who lived above a restaurant who subsisted primarily on rice. He discovered that by eating by his open window, the smells drifting up from the food cooking below would add flavor to his meager meals. When the restaurant owner discovered this, he became angry and demanded payment from the poor man who naturally refused. The restaurant owner pulled the poor man before a local magistrate demanding that the magistrate force the man to pay. After thinking for a while, the magistrate asked if the poor man had any money, which he did. The magistrate then directs the poor man to jingle the money and said that the payment for the smell of the restaurant owner's food was the sound of money.

I can't retell it nearly as well as the original, which is probably online somewhere but not anywhere I know about ... :(
Those are some great trail name stories! I've got a few...

- Challenger - He gave it to himself as he was involved with the Challenger mission

- Dos egg rolls - Just egg rolls to us, but he was trying to save money and just ordered those, which was about the same price as our huge meals

- U-Haul - was seen carrying their boxes from the post office as part of his resupply.

I should say marketing expenses minus advertising - There's a base price you must spend on marketing, eg. tesla.com could be seen as a marketing expense since it's the final selling point before someone puts down a reservation fee, along with the obvious "every car needs the T emblems which cost $0.90 per car".

My point is that Tesla can achieve the same revenue levels without necessitating a 4x increase in marketing spend.
Cool. But how would be to run both OS-es on the same time?
I don't mean to be flip, but I tend to check out white Teslas while driving by on the highway for rear panel gaps. White paint makes it especially obvious.

I'd sy 80-90% are fine, but 1 in 10 or the gaps are so bad you can see the asymmetric gaps from 30+ ft away, most often
Model Ys anecdotally. I even see what looks like added seals around sides of the rear hatch sometimes.
Probably best to use a subdirectory, and probably even better to loop mount ext4 on a file instead of using ntfs directly.

Lagrange is the best of the Gemini clients right now, if you are looking for a GUI app. It launches in a fraction of a second, which is blissful compared to launching a full-fat web browser, and you get the lean, clean pages that Gemini offers, with no need for extensions and adblockers, javascript or fancy frame-based pages.. Although Lagrange does handle multimedia well, it is focussed on making plain unicode text look beautiful.
"Therefore, it's well within the realm of plausibility that the actual behavior of the universe is governed by uncomputable functions..."

It's also well within the realm of plausibility that the behavior of the universe is governed by invisible, intangible unicorns. :-)

If you can provide an example of something in the universe actually computing an theoretically uncomputable function, then there is a gigantic problem somewhere and everyone is going to have to do some re-thinking. If.
Whether certain behaviors in the universe are uncomputable or not is irrelevant. If we classify "humans" as intelligent and assume no spooky immaterial aspects of consciousness, you already have an existence proof that intelligence is computable.
> It only becomes so if you can show that something computes them.

By definition nothing will ever compute an uncomputable function. That’s completely irrelevant to what I wrote.
This reminds me of the linotype machine's [0] invention. Many had tried to invent a similar machine and failed, the inventor went into it without knowing about the other failed attempts and used a completely different and novel technique than other attempts and managed to make it work.

Define "understand."

I think you may be confusing automated processing with communicable abstracted insight.

If this isn't obvious consider the difference between producing an AI that can play chess, producing an AI that learns to play chess, and producing a research program that produces an AI that can play chess and summarises all the resulting developments and insights.

I remember being ‘caught’ developing for Metrowerks (anyone remember that?) using jEdit. They smirked.

I used jEdit to do all my coding (mostly C/C++ in those days) from the late 90s until finally going Jetbrains just a couple of years ago.

I still use it regularly when I just want to edit a file or use the jdiff plugin without starting a project and all the other speed bumps that IDEs put in your way.
