I mean "simulated" in the same sense as how computational machines can simulate any other computational machine, as in you can define some arbitrary state and arbitrary rules and with such a machine apply those rules to the state to change it.

I say that because of that's what I best understand the neocortex doing (it does that and probably something more). If you buy in what the Numenta people are talking about, then certain neurons in your neocortex configure themselves to be able to predict their inputs better, so they start to form a model of their input. In aggregate, these neurons probably start to learn multiple sequential models of their input.

My guess it that these models in the brain interact with each other. I think some of the larger models that the brain models is us (individually), the environment we find ourselves in, our mind, how we relate to it, the 3D space that we find ourselves in, and such.

This is a simulation to explain what is going on "out there" (the physical world) so that the physical organism can successfully navigate "out there".

This simulated world, body, and such, is what is "real" to us.
> But it is not the same question

This is debatable. If you subscribe to the idea that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon, then it makes sense as an avenue to the answer.
> Where are you getting the idea that personal footprints have to be reduced to zero or less? That assumption only holds if there are no carbon sinks.

This is not really correct thinking, because you need to account for both sinks and sources of carbon. For instance, you could emit methane locally enough to, say, intensify a forest fire or dissolve methane clathrates. Then a forest somewhere else absorbs the original weight in carbon dioxide. This is net zero emissions for you, but certainly causes more warming. The best way to think of it is as a system with sources, sinks, and feedbacks.

But really, the biggest adjustment to your life to reduce carbon emissions is to get involved in politics. Everyone reducing to net zero at home would make a tiny dent in the problem. The big users are transportation and concrete and metals.

Who here is originally from the U.S. but migrated to another country since remote jobs became commonplace?

I've got a great remote job for a U.S. company and about $60k available for a downpayment; I'd love to be able to buy a place abroad (and hopefully obtain residency/citizenship).

Unfortunately, places like Italy or Spain seem to require foreign nationals to have much more initial cash and prevent mortgage loans for more than 50/60% of the purchase price. I can afford a decent mortgage, but I just don't have a lot of liquid cash at the moment.

Has anyone here done anything like that?

They do prohibit developers from breaking down the costs like that. This is the guideline they would cite you for:

> 3.1.3 The following apps may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase. Apps in this section cannot, within the app, encourage users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase.

Yes, it should be illegal for them to prevent you from breaking the cost down, but they have historically interpreted this statement that way.

From a self-taught programmer's perspective, you mostly write concurrent code to speed-up io. Writing code with callbacks gives me the illusion of linearity. I know it's prone to errors but for simple tasks it's good enough. That's the reason for nodejs's popularity I think.

CSP is a brilliant concept, but it was a bit hard for me to wrap my head around without diving into graduate level computer science topics. This is not Go's fault, concurrency itself is complicated.

Whenever I try to write concurrent code with go, I resort back to using locks, waitgroups etc. I couldn't make the switch from thinking linearly to concurrently yet.

I might be downvoted again :), but actor based languages seem much more suitable for concurrency for me.

Again, I'm out of programming for a while, the last I coded it was a pain to do network requests concurrently in Rust due to needing intrusive libraries. Python was hard because the whole syntax changed a couple of times, you had to find the right documentation with the right version etc. Go was surprisingly easy, but as I usually plan the program as I write it, trying to write non-trivial concurrent code always results in me getting unexpected behaviour or panics.

The usual material you find on concurrency and parallelism teaches you locks/semaphores using Java, these are easier to wrap your head around. The last I checked material on CSP was limited to graduate level computer science books and articles.

I originally got into Go, because I thought it is memory safe, the code I write will be bulletproof etc. Then I understood that the achilles heel of Go (or any procedural-at-heart programming language) was dynamic memory allocation paired with concurrency.

This is my view as a self-taught programmer having no formal training in computer science. YMMV
Sounds like someone just discovered the App Store (and eShop, etc.) business model for the first time.
Nuance matters here. Vaccines do prevent the spread, it's just not 100%. Are you a Bayesian? If so, using the prior of "vaccines are pretty effective at preventing spread" was reasonable until new data came in - this was a brand new technique in a novel virus.

Further, the environment changed due to mutations - the fair question is "how effective was the vaccine at preventing the spread of the origin virus?"

If they were to take more, and somehow do it in a way where you wouldn't notice it by the time you've left the store, your can still take legal action and the bank can revert the transaction.

One benefit is discoverability. I coded a ton of Ruby/rails back in the day and it was nice to be able to jump into a repl and see what methods were on an object. Also, you could often find the source of the method through the repl.

I think a lot of these debates come down to repl development versus ide development. I’ve done a lot of both, but many complaints come down to people on one side not understanding the way the other side works.

What about the price to become a Playstation, Nintendo, or Xbox developer?

---- Sony ----

https://www.retroreversing.com/official-playStation-devkit

> Perhaps the most ingenious move on Sony’s part was its decision to use the PC as a development platform, enabling it to call on the skills of huge number of developers. Licensees now receive a pair of full-length ISA cards that plug into a normal PC. These two cards contain the entire PlayStation chipset, as well as extra RAM and some logic to enable them to talk to the PC. ‘lt’s great having the system inside the PC,’ reckons Peter Molyneux. ‘With most bulky console development systems it sometimes feels like you’re surrounded by NASA control.’

> Such technology doesn’t come cheap, though. PlayStation developers need to cough up £ 12,000 for the full system (which Sony is adamant it doesn’t make money on), although all subsequent software tools and hardware upgrades are free.

---- Nintendo ----

> Registering for the portal and downloading the tools is completely free.
Also, if you plan to release a digital only title, you can use the IARC system to retrieve the age rating for no fee, which will allow you to publish in all the participating countries.
All that is left is the cost of acquiring development hardware: you will find more information on this inside the portal.

https://developer.nintendo.com/home/development-for-nintendo...

> On 3/25/2021, the only Nintendo platform for which new development is possible will be Nintendo Switch.

> Development for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will only be possible for those who have already purchased development hardware.
Those who do not have development hardware will not be able to develop.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/nintendo-switch-dev-kit...

> At the Game Creators Conference 2017 in Osaka, Japan, Nintendo announced that Switch development kits would only cost 50,000 yen, or roughly $450.

> To put things in perspective, a PlayStation 3 development kit ran for $20,000 at launch.

---- Microsoft ----

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/regist...

> Individual accounts cost approximately $19 USD, and company accounts cost approximately $99 USD (the exact amounts may vary depending on your country or region). This is a one-time registration fee and no renewal is required.

The point of this is that as a game device, the iPhone is in line with other developer programs and in some cases (Sony, looking at you) quite a bit less expensive.
That's a rather dismissive attitude. Internet personalities and their fans have gone to war before, and you could dismiss those just as easily as just about "gaming" or "PC hardware" or similar.

Perhaps it was because the method they were infected? I do not think it will represent common way of getting infected that most likely was via aerosol.
> monopoly over the iPhone
> Apple could charge 85% overhead and there would be nothing developers could do about it.

That's exactly right! Then fewer and poorer apps would be built on iOS, and users would notice, and they would migrate to other platforms. This has happened plenty of times before. Yes, Apple has a monopoly over the iPhone - it's an Apple product. Just like Sony have a monopoly over the PS5, and Samsung has a monopoly over the WF45R6300AV Front Load Washing Machine.

The only fair resolution would be to allow Apple to do whatever it wants with Apple devices. If everyone at Apple collectively lost their minds tomorrow, they would have every right to pull all apps from the App Store completely. They could shut down the platform. It's literally theirs in every sense of the word. They built it. They own it. They operate it. Just because people are concerned doesn't make socializing iPhones or the App Store in any way reasonable.

If your answer to "how can anything be conscious" is "it just can, if the system meets these requirements", then obviously, that's the only answer and you may as well move on to "what are we conscious of?"

At this point, I'm not willing to regard consciousness as something like gravity or the weak force, though I concede that it could turn out that way.
Great explanation. Do you know of any resources where I can learn more about this? I find it really interesting.
No, but the real point is that the power to weight ratios of hobby BLDCs have absolutely gone crazy over the past 2 decades. Lots of work put into their power efficiency to maximize flight time on batteries.
It's not "fine for me". I in fact do all of those other things that you're suggesting.

And neither am I "banking on technology". There's no hedge, I'm just as fucked as you are.

My original claim, which I stand by, is that individual action (in the sense of "just do fewer things") is trifling in the face of this. That's the only claim I'm making.

I've explained why, and you're coming back with bullshit about my culture. Mate, it's not my 'culture' to eat food and put the heating on in my house, everyone does it in every country in the world.

My argument is that we solve this politically and via collective action in things like basic research and development and not by joining support groups to tell each other about how many light switches we've turned off today.

I think this is the beauty of Ruby. The core philosophy of Ruby is that it was designed to make "1.day.ago" possible. That's why DHH fell in love with it and used it to build Rails. You can't do that with many other languages.

"1.day.ago" is not really a piece of code, it's a sensibly named shortcut to existing code that already solves easy problems. It's is not designed to be built upon; not all code has to be designed that way.

For example:

// How to get last day of month?

// Javascript

var month = 0; // January

var d = new Date(2008, month + 1, 0);

console.log(d.toString()); // last day in January

// monkey patching in ActiveSupport

Date.today.end_of_month

This is the definition of a great DSL. It abstracts away easy problems so you don't have to solve them hundreds of times and allows you to focus on the more unique problems of a domain.

Monkey patching is a powerful tool and just like any powerful tool it should be used carefully. Random monkey patching everywhere is bad, just like polluting the global namespace in javascript is bad. But used well and you can create extremely expressive, powerful, and concise coding experiences. Isn't that the goal of any DSL?
How can that can even be of some one else's business?
