Which of these are commonly accepted (or even argued by a sizable minority) to have free will in a metaphysical sense?

> Figuring out which bucket human beings fall in to is a legitimate question.

That may be true, but it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with the ill-defined notion of "free will". I'm also not familiar with anyone who views human behavior to be anything like a collapsing wave form so I'm not entirely sure this is a "legitimate" question since I'm not sure there is any evidence or support for the one side of the argument (though I'm always up for pointers to arguments about this).

It’s not like there is an excess of capacity right now, and there are only a small number of players that even offer what intel has available.
The major problem with this argument that it relies on a very important (yet questionable) assumption: the reward hypothesis, the idea that the maximization of the expected sum of a single signal variable describes the organism’s behavior (http://incompleteideas.net/rlai.cs.ualberta.ca/RLAI/rewardhy...). First we need to be careful defining what an “organism” actually is (because we are actually made out of billions of systems interacting with each other at the same time), but it is also hard to believe that all those interlocked systems move towards a single purpose of maximizing one variable, whether it be by chance or by coordination. The other problem is that the researchers might all be performing the error of defining the reward function based on our own narrow views and try to shoehorn it on other species as a process of pattern-matching. The third is that, as shown in the bacteria example, the organism and the environment are not independent from each other, and what we call “intelligent behavior” is not an inherent aspect of a creature’s “algorithm” and cannot be studied independently in isolation from the environment. (These can all be extended as a critique of evolutionism as a useful scientific theory; the problem is not that it’s wrong, but that it becomes more of a tautological statement as you bury yourself deeper into it, so its usefulness as a theory needs to be questioned.)

A bit more tangential, but the article really falls apart when the author starts talking about examples related to humans, using the careerism of current middle class society as an example (The notion of a “career” is actually pretty recent from an anthropological perspective! Those anecdotes about hierarchical milestones and pushing ourselves for career advancement has more to do with the culture and ideology of today’s world than any other weird evolutionary/neurological reason!)
Passion projects cannot be described as "loss making".

When passion projects become "loss making", then people loose their passion for it.
> Phil Spencer, who started out leading an upstart team at Microsoft for a new game console called "Xbox"

According to Wikipedia[0]:

> Spencer served as general manager of Microsoft Game Studios EMEA, working with Microsoft's European developers and studios such as Lionhead Studios and Rare until 2008

He came to be in charge of Xbox via his experience managing their internal studios. How's Lionhead doing these days btw?

> Intel's internal manufacturing operations must earn Intel's business

This is putting lots of high-level employee's future earnings on the line in a far more direct manner. It will be interesting to see if they accept this challenge, or fight it in order to accept the slow decay that will still ensure at least a longer-term personal financial gain (i.e., instead of failing in 2 years, failing slowly over 10).

> are suddenly succeeding

How are you quantifying this success? If people have "more money" but are suddenly unable to afford things they previously could (those same strawberries), wouldn't they be worse off?

> The richest today will be relatively less rich.

Isn't this just communism with extra steps? Why do you think these things have always worked out poorly, economically speaking, triggering runaway inflation and material scarcity?

My thesis is that the the threat of abject poverty is the only thing keeping much of our economy functioning. If we remove this threat, then the economy shrinks significantly and we all end up in poverty anyways.
Spray foam is very expensive and is not sustainable. Mineral wool/rockwool is also fairly popular but pricey as well.

US-40 from I-95 to Atlantic City is still very rural. When I lived in the DC area, I would take US-40 from I-95 to go the FAA's Technical Center at the Atlantic City airport because it was nicer drive and you get to see interesting sites.

Among them:

1. The Cowtown Rodeo in Woodstown, NJ with the giant cowboy statue at the cowboy supply store across the street.

2. An ancient Radio Shack store

3. Many road-side fruit and lunch stands.

4. A car repair shop with a painted stack of tires.

5. A store named 'Ted's Taxidermy' across the street from an airpark in Buena, NJ.

Pilots don't know anything about RF beyond "VHF is line-of-sight" and "use HF over the ocean." I'm inclined to listen to their (our) concerns but we don't have some special understanding of the underlying technical issues.
I would almost never recommend a beginner start with eurorack, no matter how passionate, unless you're talking about using VCV Rack or something. Physical eurorack is a money pit, and the people who own it are the first people to cop to it. Many modular systems I've seen are basically $10,000 worth of modules that add up to one well-built desktop synthesizer which you could purchase for $500-$1000.
I would say that the implication that enabling more surveillance == safety is a fallacy. It’s assumed by the people pushing these kind of things, but is not necessarily true.
In the UK; weird.

2 proofs of address, bank statements/utility bills etc; that are sent to your address with your name on.

1 form of citizenship proof such as birth certificate.

Additionally, Depending on “proof” level: notarized passport photo (by someone who is considered trustworthy, police officer, business owner, doctor) and whom is not related but whom you have known greater than 5 years.

Also additionally, parents birth certificates.

Had to do the last two to get my passport, notarized passport photo with two different people that were not family that I’d known for 5 years.
The main difference is the DNC is mildly in favor of progressive reform, but not at the cost of their piece of the capitalist pie. They will happily take credit for anything grassroots organizers bring to the point that even the corporate donors will pretend to care. Remember that, for example, the DNC's support for marriage equality started with Biden's gaffe as VP. It was already so popular that it didn't matter whether they supported it or not, so the gaffe became platform when polls didn't shift against them.

I'll take that over the GOP wanting me, at best, crushed under a boot and subservient, but I'll still vote for just about any candidate the DSA puts up locally if they ever do. I recognize the barrier function of voting for whatever barely animate ghoul the DNC triangulates on in the primary, so I'll do that until someone figures out how to get > 50% at that level with someone I'll vote for rather than a lineholder.
For non germans: The Hamburg Courts are known for their usually insane anti-free internet interpretations of law. The fact that this was won by "the good guys" in Hamburg of all cases is remarkable.

You mean like Earthships, a modern idea decades old?
https://www.earthshipglobal.com/

What I like about Earthships is they attempt a wholistic answer to the gnarly nexus of housing access, resource use, and self-sufficiency, and do it in a simple, beautiful way.

>1. 3D printed guns are crap.

Hybrid like FGC-9 can be reliable for over a thousand rounds. Non-firearm parts added in US to a printed AR or glock receiver ['firearm'] can be good for several thousand.

>Huh? Being able to produce something illegally is in no way a substitute for having a right to possess that thing legally.

Aight so how do I carry a glock for defense in Hawaii? How about carrying a glock for defense in DC after catching a felony for illegally importing a lobster? Can I drill a 3rd hill in an AR without asking daddy for permission?

>3. Some people would like to be able to conventionally practice shooting their guns, without attracting "go to jail" attention.

Aight, so tell me how I could avoid being infringed while mag dumping a lightning-link.

2A is dead, we have a patchwork of [compared to rest of world] liberal gun laws that allow you to enjoy some firearms in some situations. But it's infringed to hell, particularly if you are a 'felon' [not in the sense of a felon when constitution was written -- just walking onto a prohibited water conservation area without disturbing it is a felony in my state].

The alternative is the politics of the deed, just make it.

Sure 2A would be better than mere ability to make them. But you have to live within reality. The needle isn't moving back to free of infringement.

>but a law abiding citizen certainly will

Well 2A says keeping/bearing a gun can't be illegal. Unfortunately state and federal laws say otherwise, and judges are happy to bend over and make any excuse to infringe, particularly against felons.

I hate to see a monopoly in the gaming industry. Controlling the content will prevent any competition both in gaming consoles and in PC gaming. Forget about gaming on Linux or any new platform. Forget about sony's PlayStation and Nintendo. We are going to see the real face of Microsoft. What do you think Microsoft will do next? Buy unreal engine and unity and have control over the content and the tools to make them? We NEED open source game engines (Godot, Bevy) more than ever.

I'm not sure that these drone 'swarms' are going to have enough of a payload to take out anything significant like strong armour or heavy emplacements.

But against small units of well dug in, or hidden enemies - mortars, snipers or troops in trenches, I'm sure they'd be great. I'm thinking basically a grenade with wings that can hover, spot a target and be guided by an operator ~1km away.

Still have to fear the EMP though.
For run-time visualization, I use Chrome about://tracing it gives very good details, over a time horizon, synchronized over multilple threads/processes. Zoom into nanosecond detail or zoom out over seconds or minutes overview.

I have my own simple C++ code to generate those traces (json data), there is also an official sdk for it (Perfetto is the new shiny way)

For static code analysis, I use Doxygen, it parses the headers, can make high level module diagrams and fine grained dependency graphs. It uses Graphviz/dot for rendering the graphs.
1. I never claimed hard money was the earliest form of money. Read my original post more carefully. Gold has been used as a currency for at least 3,000 years. Likely earlier.

2. I never claimed fiat was invested 50 years ago. I stated that the global monetary system switched over from predominately hard money with fiat

> We are talking about a system that completely floundered under pressure from economic expansion (hard money) vs a system that has been presiding over the largest economic booms in history and is currently adopted by every government in the world (fiat) and your argument is "well look which is older".

It floundered because it was routinely debased and not adhered to. That was my whole point. I would also say that fiat has failed a lot. You google list of hyperinflation to get a sense of how bad it has been over time. Even today you have people living in countries in which they have to watch their wealth disintegrate every year by double digit amounts

What's so insane to me is that washers and dryers (also dishwashers) are all very simple devices. I would love for someone to just come out with "dumb" versions of these, that attack the design weaknesses of what is currently offered. Something that is designed to last, but also to be easily diagnosed and owner serviced.

Even better if they were designed to be built into existing cabinetry, so you can move with them and retrofit them into whatever home you go into.

As the author of Slipways, it warms my heart to see it mentioned randomly in a HN comment!

As an indie game developer (hard to get more indie than me, I think, since I'm doing this mostly solo), I can attest that it's never been easier to get your game on Steam or a console platform. On Steam it's mostly a matter of a $100 fee and filling a form. Consoles are a bit harder, but still dramatically more open to indie titles than say a decade ago, and all of them are possible to get on even for small developers.

I also wouldn't say that "the group of indie dev studios is dwindling". It's just a matter of the old indie studios "growing up" to become bigger enterprises, but there is tons of other people replacing them on the lowest rung, with teams of several people and true labor of love projects.
I implemented something like this in a previous life. One thing I did was to insert JPEG comments into each frame containing an encoding marker (speex, etc) and audio data. This allowed a standard consumer to see the MJPEG image as normal; but a modified client (including within a browser, using javascript) could decode the audio and video in sync and play back with sound.

Sounds like a fun project
Like I said, there will always be innovative indie games. But the AAA studios used to be important in driving artistic and systemic innovation in games, because they had the most money and visibility.

Games like: Elite 2: Frontier, Star Control 2, Heroes of Might and Magic, KOTOR 1 and 2, all had strong writing, narrative, complex and difficult systems to manage, and were innovative in their time. And none were "indie" games (though at the time, some of these games could be made by 1 or 2 people). This is a real difference. Just look at the difference in Blizzard. Warcraft 2, Starcraft, and Diablo 1 & 2 made them hugely influential and successful because of their commitment to quality. Now, they're a joke. But somehow, still one of the biggest gaming companies in the world!

It's not about defining art. It's about a push to create games that can stand up to works of literature and cinema which are considered to be important artistic achievements. I'm happy to hear that there are titles out their which are striving for that, but AAA studios aren't doing that. In fact they actively push new titles as being cutting edge while they retain or dumb down systems that were created decades ago.

Disagree hard on Fortnite. It is very shallow. The building system seems interesting but is superficial. Yes it's integral to winning the match, but its not very strategic...just like Fortnite's shooting and physics are quite cartoony and not very tactical. It is a VERY poor "shooter," but a fun "battle royale game." There is a difference these days.

Minecraft was not a AAA game, it was just purchased by a AAA studio.

Again, I'm not saying that there aren't any games that are artistic or interesting. In fact that's the opposite of what I said in my original post! I'm saying that "The Industry" (which will ALWAYS have the most market share, visibility, and resources) is not creating those games. They are not interested. And that is a sad change from what used to be.

You don't need multi-cursor selection in vim.

Vim has all the tools necessary to achieve the same end result with the same convenience. [0]

Just thinking about what crazy things I've done with macros that multi-cursor would be incapable of handling makes me chuckle.

vim doesn't need the fancy features of other editors (except for maybe LSP and tree-sitter for a more IDE-like experience).

The core problem is that you don't grok vi [1] which is fine, not everyone has time and passion for that. But please don't think for a moment that vim is inferior just because it doesn't blindly copy other editors features.

There is a much more plausible explanation, which is that they genuinely believe that more people would be saved if the security services could access messaging apps and they don't think the level of potential abuse is worth worrying about.

There's an even more plausible explanation, which is that both are true. They're aware that stopping encryption might save a few children, but they're also aware that it enables the mechanisms of the surveillance state that give them extraordinary power over the public. They want to stop child sex trafficking and they want to abuse people's privacy.

Keynes was dreaming of a world where we figured out how to solve the liquidity preference problem. I.e. tax land value and tax cash. If we did that, then we would have so much free time, that we would be spending all our time on social/cultural activities.

The inflation targeting thing was an attempt to solve the problem in a less micromanaged way. In practice you still got the usual wealth concentration cycle that everyone knows from history.

The Fed controls monetary policy, and it’s still mostly independent of the administration. Trump often seemed displeased with Fed Chair Powell. Also the bull market started before Trump’s inauguration.

I don’t think you can blame Trump for the division in the country. For exploiting it: sure. But he didn’t create it.

I think that Democrats seriously misread the temperature of the country after the 2020 election. They thought they were granted a progressive mandate when really the voters wanted stability and competence with perhaps incremental progress on certain key issues. All evidence points in this direction, starting with the 2018 midterms when a slate of moderate candidates gave them a House majority (despite all the noise about a few celebrity progressive candidates). The moderate labor Democrat Biden was the nominee over Sanders and Warren, etc.
I don't really agree. I think it is valuable to push novel and influential results into visible venues and to reward work of this kind. It is critical to understand how this introduces bias into the process and to consider this when reading a given paper, but I'm not sure that a review system that only considers experimental rigor would be desirable.
