I mean, my tendon in my knee can "react" to "negative stimuli" when a doctor strikes it with a rubber hammer.

I guess the question is about how these words are being used, and whether they're referring to automatic biological reflexes or something like a conscious experience, sentience, or sapience, depending on how you use the terms.
Apple is on N3 in risk production. AMD is releasing N5 chips in a handful of months. The only reason that AMD hasn't been on N5 for a year is that a new Intel competitor has a monopoly on the node. Not exactly a point in Intel's favor.

And I'll believe that they're off of their node formally known as 10nm when I see it. It's been close to ten years straight that Intel has been slipping their public deadlines for bringing a new node up.

So, yeah, for a company that used to be a full node ahead of everyone, there's some serious stagnation going on.
Hylomorphism. One of the most useful mental tools I've ever acquired.
I don't think that's gonna happen at any time. And if it does, we have an AI that is as smart as a human, so we will all be out of our jobs.

Because, a>b could also mean a should become 6. So you need to understand the intent to decide what you should do. In that sense, it's not even prolog, it's "worse" (read: harder to achieve).
I don't really see anything wrong with that statement. why should i value my material possessions less than the life of some crook i don't even know?
The point is MOST people don't care. And most of them avoid the carnage because they think it's gross, not because they care.

I'll grant most people would prefer less suffering to more, but most importantly, they don't care enough to do anything about it.

Vegetarians+ just wish there were a silent cohort to back them up.
I disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion. And also to try and change the situation democratically.

someone taught me that the answer is always 'no' when someone asks me for something, and if they ask twice then to consider yes.

but you're saying 'yes' to things for self, and not others. that's the difference.
I don't grok the real difference between the positive and negative rights example. Do these lead to different policy decisions? I'd like to know.
Does an arduino have sentience? It can certainly sense stuff via its gpio pins. As for "feelings", I don't know, would having a state machine that transitions between "happy" and "sad" based on gpio inputs count?
Isn't algae better at that! Why isn't anybody looking that direction?
I always use Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is the likeliest. It's one of the foundations of how I think. I often see people spinning off with increasingly improbable theories as to why something happened, and I try to explain this principle, but it's surprisingly difficult to teach. It's a sort of circuit breaker that helps you think straight.

I also use "assume good intent." This is similar to Hanlon’s Razor referenced elsewhere in this thread, it's a bit simpler though. Most people are trying their best. The modern world is extremely complicated. The result of "assume good intent" is that you have a bit more patience and empathy when working with others.
> A threat of violence is not violence, a weapon is not violence, and an unstable person is not violence, and even violence doesn't justify killing unless that violence was life threatening.

> If you're going to kill someone in self defense, you'd better have very convincing evidence or other means to show that they were in fact about to kill you.

I don't understand this at all. A mentally unstable person shouting threats and approaching me with a deadly weapon is 150% enough evidence that my life is in danger. I can't see any other possible rationalization.

It is a complete failure of the state to make someone scared of defending themselves against legitimate threats.
You are trying to argue by analogy without providing any basis for why the analogy is valid.

(In math, that would be like saying that a homomorphism exists because you feel like it should)
OTOH, given how all consumer electronics contain complex microcontrollers running some RTOS and usually a buffered RTC, would it be inconceivable to have some periodic check running there, and after 2 years of time, changing some voltage on some path to ever so slightly higher, spinning some fan just a little bit slower, doing other weird pwm stuff, and have it cooked? Who would ever know with obfuscated firmware, deeply embedded and encrypted?

I'd say it would be less complicated to implement than the stuff which caused Diesel-Gate.

Even something small as jumping spiders can be quite smart. They certainly deserve some respect. And live boiling is common for crustaceans. Terrible practice, sentient or not.
That's parked in a driveway, not at a gas station -- my question was trying to get at whether the gas station thing was literal or just a colorful way of emphasizing just how quick they can operate.
Ranching is horrible for wildlife. The cows eat everything the deer, elk, and antelope eat, and the fences prevent natural migration. I hate hunting ranched land. It's straight up ruined.

Yeah, at a workplace makes more sense than a gas station. Even if you can be in and out in under a minute, you might as well go somewhere someone has left their car for hours most likely. (All my friends who've had cats stolen I can think of had them stolen when parked at home.)
I'm fine with an ereader that is just an ereader, and optimized to be an ereader.
It actually is possible to have decoupled allocation in a memory safe way. We have an open proposal for this in [0], for Vale. TL;DR: Have some bits in the malloc header which instruct the language on which deallocator function to use.

I've never used Odin, so I don't know whether/how they'd keep it safe.

> Octopus entered English from scientific Latin. In which the Greek plural was not used

The Latin (nominative) plural is octōpodēs, the Greek (nominative non-neuter) plural is ὀκτώποδες. Almost identical. octopi is not used in Latin, it only appears to occur in English texts.

Most Romance languages get their primary word for "octopus" from an alternative Latin word for it, polypus (plural polypī), which comes from Greek πολύπους (plural πολύποδα). polypus is also an alternative word for octopus in English, albeit it is rather archaic. The English plural polypi cannot be accused of being a hypercorrection, but (for octopuses) polypuses is much more common. polypus is also medical terminology for a type of blood clot, and the polypi plural is often preferred when the word is used in that medical sense.

The usual Dutch word for "octopus", octopus, is pluralised by the standard Dutch rules, octopussen. English appears to be the only language in which this hypercorrect pseudo-Latin plural has any popularity.

This depends on where the debt is.

If it's in the codebase for a single project, then sure, you can do some refactoring while you work, add more tests, etc. It's not too big of a time sink if you do a little at a time, and you can do it all by yourself.

But if the tech debt is in the architecture, or the API spec, or the authentication layer, or in some other area that impacts how services owned by multiple teams communicate? Now you need coordination with other teams to fix the debt. Everyone else has their own jobs to do, and if leadership doesn't make fixing tech debt a priority, other work will always take precedence.
> the more technically apt they are, the less they believe in it

your network seem to be opposite of general population, where less technically apt less believe (economists, news people, etc.)

i suspect it has more to do with political leaning, i.e. more center-conformist less believe, outside center more believe
I'm not sold. I live on a so-called road, it's comprised of a single lane of paved dirt that stretches on for 3/4ths of a mile. On top of that, the very first line is just utterly comical:

> If we want to build towns that are financially productive, we need to identify and eliminate stroads.

You're missing the point on why they're made. They're built to facilitate expansion in confined areas. I'd argue that it's more dangerous and less financially productive to have a street there, and incredibly more dangerous to put a road there. So, what's the solution?
What about octopus as both singular and plural?
I think that was kinda what the whole Cliqz brouhaha[0] was about?

Mozilla's marketing team, for the, oh, ca. 10 billionth time, decided it was high times to once again foist something on Firefox users that none them wanted, needed, or asked for. To the surprise of Mozilla Marketing (but no-one else) it did not go too well.

Tokyo used to have a lot of trash cans and removed them after a terrorist attack. I think everyone would prefer to have the trash cans. It absolutely sucks to carry around your trash for hours, and not everyone does it.

People do litter here, but there's an army of old people that clean the streets... like this article is suggesting.
"Can you explain what you mean by 'political type' to make sure everyone's on the same page?" might have been more appropriate here :P
Its easy to misinterpret your comment, but many people find the same sentiment elsewhere. When lyft (and maybe uber?) were subsidizing most rides, so you could get a ride for ridiculously cheap. For close to a year I took a lyft to and from work because it was cheaper than taking the bus. Same with moviepass - I was going to theatres and VCs were paying for it.

If you live outside of SF and aren't really concerned with tech/etc, there are definitely situations where the average person can directly benefit from VC funding and not feel bad about it.
Calling this "Software Defined Silicon" instead of what it is - rent-seeking - is audacious...
I disagree with Ford's principle of "not logging failures". The key is to log _in_detail_ ... the setup, the materials used, the failure, and most importantly, how and why it failed.

If someone else wants to try, they can see that if they try the _exact_ same way they will end up with failure. But they can -- and should be encouraged to -- try with changes to the variables.
I wonder what some people are thinking when they give their product or company a name that makes it hard to find in an internet search.

Do they not see it coming? Or do they not care?

People can be excused for that type of name in the early era of the internet, but if you do it today... I just don't understand.

The foremost in my mind is the Go programming language. Several people refer to it as Golang because of it's poor name.
Is the American pronunciation of “processes” (as in, rhymes with bees) also a hypercorrection?
I recently started using this to automate my homefolder, and it has been a real lifesaver. I use it to ensure that all of my various custom scripts and configs work across different machine types (mac, windows, linux), architectures (arm and intel), and usernames (work-enforced and other). Nothing has come close in terms of capability for me. Thanks to the author!
If Australia can figure out how to export the energy, the centre might be a great place to build giant solar farms.
I realize they are being cheeky but the ironic thing is "ignorance of N languages" is one of the primary drivers of linguistic cross-pollenation and drift. Taking loanwords, shoehorning them into your phonology, writing, and grammar is just how these things work.
I disagree. So long as we don’t torture them I see no problem in consuming other creatures. “One bad day” is a good guideline for how animals should be harvested for food.

So long as they aren’t in physical pain during their life, I don’t think animals really care or even understand their situation. For instance, a bunch of cattle don’t wonder about how their lives would be better if they were free range. They just live in the moment with no concept of “a better life” or “freedom”. We project our feelings on them which they don’t have the ability to reason about.

Physically hurting them during their short lives is wrong because they do feel physical pain. We shouldn’t scare them. But they wouldn’t even exist if they weren’t made for food.
And we make a lot of them go through hell for their whole lifespan.

Anytime I leave the city and spend a few days getting around by car I’m amazed at just how completely exhausting it is to go shopping or run errands in suburbia. I am not sure why exactly, after all I’m just sitting there, but I think all the stop-and-go and waiting 10 minutes at lights trying to get across a stroad intersection to a shop I can see the whole time is a big contributor.
Must be. There have been some examples of people in Scandinavia building a house inside a dome!

The dome provides a greenhouse enviro and then, inside that, they build regular old rectangular houses: https://www.loveproperty.com/gallerylist/66379/this-family-l...
This was a fair comparison - the same exact thing was true of Hughes and Rockefeller.

But your argument is actually my argument. The past 50 years wealth inequality has grown, and we are now starting to see liquidity issues where for their particular stock. But if we let this trend continue, sometime in the next 100 years, if they intend to sell and use their wealth for some utility, it will have a either have a liquidity effect on the entire market, or/and have substantial wage inflation as a result.

They're running locally. Stallman has a pretty good essay[0] on this, where he calls out SaaSS (Service As A Software Substitute) because the majority of SaaSes are perfectly capable of being self-hosted, operated peer-to-peer, or locally stored. Obviously that doesn't make money though, so people draft up a price and offer convenient liability to business users (like "Free Lifetime Support for just $999 more a month!"), which leads to the present shitshow that we're living in.

> However, since they're quite clearly a load of intentional misrepresentation and false equivalences, they don't wash with a critical outside observer.

You haven't been able to refute them though. I noticed you quietly ignored my first refutation.

> Excuse me, no, as with the previous misrepresentation of countervailing positions, once again you don't get to decide what someone else's argument is. This coercive attitude is consistent, but it doesn't hold any water.

Spare the theatrics. If there was any logic or evidence put forward to argue that sustainable populations would result in more classist oppression or disparity, then fine. But just stating that as though it supports your position doesn't work. It's a non sequitur even if we ignore that you claimed it was inherently classist "since it requires government management" (which is false).

> There's no proposal to eliminate governments and ruling classes, so ignoring the realities is facile. The outcome of a downward trajectory is literally killing people,

Wrong
A lobster being boiled behaves the same way a cow or dog or human behaves when being boiled. Seems strange to make the cutoff for acceptable treatment based around a wishy-washy ill-defined notion of "Can this thing that is very different than me feel pain? I promise I am not biased by the fact that I have vertebrae."

Coming from gendered languages, most Hispanics either don’t know about Latinx at all and the ones that do, most of them think it’s inappropriate. It is a bit strange to try to remove gender from a word for people who mostly speak a gendered language. It seems mostly to be a virtue signaling thing among a rather small almost exclusively American, english as first language subculture.

Another article that may be useful:

> Americans do not understand the difference between a road and a street.

[...]

> The value of a road is in the speed and efficiency that it provides for movement between places. Anything that is done that reduces the speed and efficiency of a road devalues that road. If we want to maximize the value of a road, we eliminate anything that reduces the speed and efficiency of travel.

> The value of a street comes from its ability to support land use patterns that create capturable value. The street with the highest value is the one that creates the greatest amount of tax revenue with the least amount of public expense over multiple life cycles. If we want to maximize the value of a street, we design it in such a way that it supports an adjacent development pattern that is financially resilient, architecturally timeless and socially enduring.

[...]

> In the United States, we’ve built a 45 mile per hour world for ourselves. It is truly the worst of all possible approaches. Our neighborhoods are filled with STROADS (a street/road hybrid) that spread investment out horizontally, making it extremely difficult to capture the amount of value necessary for the public to sustain the transportation systems that serve them.

I don't mind criticism, as long as it's constructive and not for the sake of bringing down someone.

I can't really answer you clearly without knowing what definition of sentience you expect to be correct. Especially as I've already noted most people think of sentience as sapience, which it isn't.

Trees respond to both negative and positive stimuli, and relay that information to other plants around them, exchanging information about them. They take both reactive and proactive stances in regards to both negative and positive stimuli - which may be sentience.
It's nice when you have a bunch of discrete events that you want any number of clients to work on without interfering with each other. Think of it as a fire-and-forget pub-sub. You can always have a worker dumping the queue into a database for later if you want to. It's a bit cantankerous but once you get it running it can handle messages at an impressive scale. It isn't a magic bullet to replace databases, and you can actually add schemas to the data you put in it (and it's generally agreed to be a good idea to do so; it's on our wish list because it would save us from duplicating the schema on the consumer and producer ends.)
It gets more "free" once you have the zero-latency loads introduced in Zen 2 and the load can be speculatively replaced with a register move if the store is close and obvious enough

This has been my experience. I gave into learning Ruby and how things can be written several different ways. Even when tools like Rubocop and the like are used it still can result in a codebase that is very difficult to use.
