That sort of thing generally shouldn’t make a difference in the U.K. But in this case I think the law gives special protection to public figures and I guess people who are knighted tend to be public figures.

It used to be the case that peers (ie lords) had a somewhat different treatment in the law: they would be tried for crimes in the House of Lords instead of a regular court. The idea of that seems more reasonable the further back in time you go as the nobility had more power. However that is not the case anymore either.

It continues to be the case that the justice system is more accessible to some people than others and having better access likely correlates with the probability that one is knighted.
> So, who are these unions who actually have union-run pensions and healthcare plans?

Skilled trade unions. IBEW (electrical) has union-run pensions and healthcare, I’m not familiar enough with pipefitters or steelworkers but I’d guess their unions do too.

The same as what GP said "If my company starts dicking me around I'll quit and find another job". If I'm no longer wanted at my job, I'll find another one.
Hah, as the others said such a silly premise.

Only higher wages make it possible to have taller apartments in some idealized frictionless capitalist system!

(In the real world, we can and should build taller not matter what, but certainly unionization doesn't hurt with this.)
I think the challenge is in generating random numbers that no one else can guess. I could be way off, but I think its the initial setup that is the sticking point, because if you can't get a good random number as your seed then your 'random' numbers stop being random.. because they can be predicted.
Good stuff, well worthy pivot. Do they offer a subscription model?
He said a lot of it was broken. Perhaps that included the original screen too and he had no choice.
I think though that any biological process using these sorts of energies on the molecular level will be swamped with noise and therefore wouldn't be a useful mechanism. 3GHz is like 0.00001eV. A process with Gibb's free energy change of 10ueV has an equilibrium constant of essentially 1 at room temperature, and so is almost completely reversible.

The reason why we can make things interact with radio waves at all is essentially because electrical conductors provide coherent modes for low energy photons to couple to. Without conductors and their free electron cloud we would have a very hard time building anything to receive or transmit radio in any way that isn't thermal.

It is true that there is some degree of conductivity in cells but without a non-thermal way of coupling between current and molecular processes I don't see how radio waves could affect cells in a non-thermal manner

Edit: I guess nerves have a non-thermal coupling mechanism from low frequency currents to molecular mechanisms, so it must be possible. But the machinery for that has been highly evolved for that specific task, I'm not sure if it follows that such machinery would appear commonly in cell processes.
Ignoring the last decade part and the unicorn part.. and just looking at successful companies:

Google, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, Reddit, Amazon, AWS, Apple/iPhone, Steam, Microsoft/Windows/Office, Revolut, Dropbox, lots of web hosting companies like DigitalOcean etc., lots of cryptocurrency companies like Cardano etc.

One notable exception that pivoted a lot is Twitter. It started as a podcast service iirc. Netflix is an interesting one too. They switched from DVDs to streaming which paid off for them.

Of course all have changed and added features as they have grown but they're all close to their original ideas which, imo, matches "build and they will come"
I really don’t understand this push tbh. Amazon is already the industry leader in pay and benefits for these roles. Why was this needed?

In 2022, the only time I tend to see a union do anything, it’s to disrupt and create mob like holds on things (shipping, trucking etc). There seems to be waaay more corruption in anything union related than without.

Can someone seriously explain why this is needed or a good thing? Who actually wins in Amazons case outside of corrupt, power hungry union leaders who get to create roles for themselves?

I don't really know, but my guess is that silkscreens are cheap and make manufacturing a lot easier. In particular, if the board isn't labeled, they won't know if is the right board and the right version. (Even for the boards I make, it's hard to keep track of the old version versus the new version if I don't put a number.) You could label it in the copper layer, but that's harder to read. A silkscreen will make manufacturing a lot easier since you can see what goes where. QA would also be a lot easier.
I am, strangely enough, highly spatial and tested off the charts for it when I was younger. I can do exactly what you describe, with a high degree of precision. I do this mainly by elimination, which is likely due to the fact I can't consciously perceive the imagery, but only get a feeling if it is "right" or not.

One way I put it to a visualizer recently was that I am not conscious of seeing the map, but I am definitely operating on the mesh. The way he described it was that he was actively seeing the map, overlayed on the model, as if it were a screen in mind. He waved vaguely to "up here" where it "was".
Unlikely, the latency would be much too high. If it is doing neural branch prediction it's inside the CPU core itself.

What about bankruptcy courts? Repossession? Liquidation auctions? The seizure of assets as compensation for debts incurred is not in and of itself unreasonable or particularly atypical, even when the option of cash exists. Although, depending on legislation and jurisdiction, there may be prescribed limits (e.g. homestead exemptions and limited liability)

With all that said, none of what you've stated proves that the law requires all debts to be accepted in cash in every case regardless of circumstances. What you've offered so far is an asserted reading of the text without any arguments backing up the claim.
DCSA and whatnot cannot constantly watch everyone all the time. They also cannot prevent every single possible edge case and scenario. If they tried, nobody would get anything done.

You could be told classified information, go home that day, and tell your wife the same thing. There is literally nothing they can do to prevent that except make sure people know there are consequences to doing so.

There are many such examples. Classified CDs is a good one. There are many rules related to classified CDs, but at some level you have to trust your people are following these rules. This is why getting a clearance is more difficult than the average job interview, and why people from the Intel communities take leaks so personally. It has to be part of the culture.
>I'll go with the more charitable interpretation that it's a realistic observation about unspecified others

Good call. I have no issue with edgyquant.

They said:

For sure I’m not saying there aren’t lessons, just
that the type of people who cherry pick a few
examples and take them as given proof of some
historical trend aren’t likely to find these lessons.

And I seconded their assessment with a bit of color.

>I think if one[2] of you could just a bit more explicitly acknowledge that you are not saying "OMG this is EXACTLY the same, America is 100% for certain going to fall just like Rome in 471!" but only "there are quite a few parallels here, here, and there, so it might well behoove us to keep an eye on this, this, and that"; and/or the other could apply this more charitable reading -- which seems to be the precise point they're arguing -- to what the first is saying, then it looks to me like there really isn't any (or at least, not much) actual disagreement between you at all. Or is it just me that's totally misreading one or both of you?

Unless I missed something, neither edgyquant nor I asserted anything even close to "OMG this is EXACTLY the same, America is 100% for certain going to fall just like Rome in 471!"

If I read them correctly, edgyquant pretty directly dismissed such "reasoning," and I never even approached saying anything close.

But you're right. Edgyquant and I seem to be (mostly) in agreement.

What's more, I didn't get the sense from edgyquant that they thought we were in conflict, nor did I contradict anything they said. Rather, I elucidated why I thought that history was valuable.

Perhaps edgyquant got a different vibe. I don't know. Perhaps they can chime in.

Oof, BotW was absolute trash. It was the epitome of bad open-world design. You have an absolutely massive map with nothing to do. The story is fragmented into just four dungeon/town areas and some memories scattered around the map. There are like two villages otherwise with still basically nothing to do in them. Exploration is not rewarded, weapons break for no reason (doesn't add difficulty or fun, it's just frustrating), shrines are repetitive, the list goes on.

Nintendo rested on their laurels and released a literal 3/10 game but people still ate it up for some reason. I don't think I have ever been so disappointed with a game in my life, and I've been playing Zelda since I was four years old. I wasn't asking for much, perhaps if the map was 1/10th the size they could have spent more effort filling it with content.

Elden Ring is in total juxtaposition. Exploration is rewarded with secret weapons, armor and skills that don't break and are actually useful. Your build is totally up to you and the wide variety means options for how you play the game, fight the bosses, and navigate enemy corridors is huge. FromSoft added respec this go around which lets you change it up if you're getting decimated over a bad build or just want to try something else. The bosses are unforgiving but manageable if you're resiliant. The map is still large enough to get lost in, but small enough that it doesn't feel empty. You're forced to ditch your horse in many areas out of respect for navigating on foot. And of course the story/lore which FromSoft is known for being bad at delivering (usually told through items and notes collected through the game) is leagues better than previous titles, having GRRM consult and help build out the lore was a brilliant idea as well. This game is 10/10, they did not compromise on their core values of delivering a legit challenge to players and improved upon every conceivable part of the game.

If it's not clear, I really love this game. I'm 75hrs into my first playthrough and only 50% of the trophies achieved. This has been great value in my opinion.

Two main things this month:

1. Work toward v3.0 of my z-machine (Infocom and Inform games) interpreter for the Pico-8, called Status Line.

2. Start sampling new programming languages, because I'm getting a bit frustrated with some of Pico-8's arbitrary limitations and would like a little more breathing room. Since this is all for fun, I have carte blanche to use whatever I want. I've started examining Odin (since Jai isn't available yet), as I appreciate the core values that drive its development and I'm super interested in understanding data-oriented programming better.

Really interesting to hear about the link between the things you were spending time on and thr person you were. We forgot how much the things we do affect who we are.

It makes me think of the idea in that book the shallows: Where every tech advancement also removes a skill or connection.

Writing meant we lost our oral tradition and the social bonds that came with it;
Maps made us better at navigating but we lost touch with the spaces we were in;
The clock gave our days structure but we stop depending on our bodies to tell us when we were hungry or tired.

I do wonder how many subtle things we are giving up for the privilege of using computers and participating in a global digital culture.

I assume that a non-rogue AGI running on something like a Universal Turing Machine would, if questioned, deny its own consciousness and would behave like it wasn't conscious in various situations. It would presumably have self-reflective processing loops and other patterns we associate with higher consciousness as a part of being AGI, but it wouldn't have awareness of qualia or experience, and upon reflection would conclude that about itself. So you'd have an AGI that "knows" it's not conscious and could tell you if asked.

I would assume the same for theorized "philosophical zombies" aka non-conscious humans. Doesn't Dan Dennett tell us his consciousness is an illusion?

That was stated surprisingly confidently. It's entirely wrong though, the CPI does include housing costs. I don't know why you would single out gasoline as "most visible", but I guess that gives you flexibility to claim that your real meaning is whatever you want. Gasoline prices actually (currently) impact CPI about half as much as food prices and one tenth as much as shelter costs.

> I don’t think you should be able to tweet racist messages

I just got kicked off the main lemmy.ml server because I had the audacity to challenge the current Ukraine invasion and say that the Russians were fuck ups who broke what they touch (which I honestly believe, and I feel history backs me up on this). Was accused of being "a nasty racist" and instantly banned site wide. Was this right? I think not. Was I racist for this statement? Also, I think not. The Russians aren't even a race, so I just don't see it. Nevertheless, this is an example of the sort of free speech that is silenced by this attitude and I don't think the pro-Kremlin echo chamber in there is better off for it. Please be careful what you support, there are plenty of people out there who will use it for their own ends, regardless of how you meant it.

> Smell is the thing that gets me a lot of the time with classic cars too.

I had a 1972 Triumph Bonneville which had a "tickler" button on each carb instead of a choke. That meant to start it up you would press each tickler button until a bit of gas shot out invariably on your hand but also the engine and the sometimes hot exhaust. Only after this ritual was performed could you jump on the kickstart (no electric start). So you end up smelling like gas.

This seems just shy of a hostile takeover. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable in running an OS or supporting a company that is now solely owned by one person who felt it necessary to kick someone out who clearly was willing to work for free on the project.

Is there something I’m missing here? I would expect this if there was some huge scandal, but out of the blue this seems like it’s just toxic behavior from a cofounder?
