My pet theory, lifeforms inherit consciousness from the encoding of survival from the smallest cell structures billion years ago up to now. It's the soil on which traits have "meaning", the most advanced computer has no legacy of survival, no integral / structural need for intelligence or communication or any advanced trait. It's been assembled. It's too shallow.

Now if a distributed trojan horse start speaking to communicate his internal state in order to keep being a trojan horse.. I might reconsider.

Yeah, that may hold for "fashion" clothing, but the way you write sounds like that's a generalized statement.

I don't own a single piece of clothing worth $200, and I don't want one either. (I'll make an exception for an all-weather hiking jacket in the future, but even there I'd prefer buying used.)

On the other hand, a local dry cleaners used to patch my pants for $6. That was useful.

On the flip side, I remember reading a story of a parent listening to their child bark orders at Siri/Alexa, and thinking that even though there's no need for politeness, they felt that maybe they should teach their child to treat it kindly and politely for the sake of the child's emotional development in terms of empathy.
I have never encountered a correction between "he" and "she", personally, because either the name or the appearance usually makes it very clear.

I admit that it's harder for some names ("Andrea" comes to mind, or "Kim") especially if you have never met that person, but these cases didn't come up in my experience yet, so maybe I just have a small circle of friends or something... ;-)

And you mis-read my comment, I didn't say I'm opposed to being corrected, but I expect people to accept that others might "mis-pronoun" them, and not expect everyone to first search their whole social media presence for the correct pronouns.

My arguments is even less generous and more applicable if you scope it only to BTC. Bitcoin as a common currency is basically a non existent use case for most people.

So let me amend my argument: It seems like as time goes on, bitcoin specifically, has seen decreased general use as anything but a speculative greater-fool investment. As far as I can tell, the only people that use bitcoin as a currency are 1. trying to prove a point, or 2. doing illegal shit. That used to be less true 5 years ago.

Why would square drive mainstream usage? Square needs people on both sides of the transaction to have already adopted in order to drive business.

Interesting, thanks for clarifying.
I'll say that I personally thought the old interface was pretty outdated and clunky, and I regularly wished it could be a bit better. But, I do sympathize.

I guess it kind of depends on (sans acquisition) whether that old UI would have actually been offered as an option. If so, then yeah, this is probably bad news for you. If not, then... at least there should be some new features coming out, and maybe the eventual interface they go with won't be quite as generic as the new one.

But yeah, I sympathize, I'm just not sure that with any long-term OS project on Android that you'd be able to indefinitely get away with having no interface changes regardless of whether the project gets sold or not. Even though I do think it's reasonable to want to stick with the existing interface.
You have a point, of course.

> They said that some PE firms were on a mission to acquire all of the vet firms in metro areas and then drive prices up even further because the demand is so inelastic.

I searched recently for a nearby vet in Chicago and probably out of 15, only 1 was not owned by a larger chain or company. Big bummer. It's hard to trust that a vet that's part of a chain isn't going to have perverse incentives when it comes to caring for my pets.

Also, another thing that I imagine is driving up vet prices is the unregulated pet insurance industry.

If you blame Christianity, what about all of Constantine's other major changes? Was it the Tetrarchy? The formation of Constantinople? The restructuring of the government or military? The introduction of a new currency? All monumental changes that had about as much of an effect as the change of religious policy.

I'm no fan of Christianity, but the claim that it was central to the fall always comes off as somewhat lazy. Religion needed reform, and maybe they could have done it in a different manner which would have led to a more stable West but it just as likely could have destroyed the East.
Vet clinics become very popular private equity targets recently.

The magic word is theory of mind. there was some stuff in lambda that seemed like it had some sense of theory of mind: knowing, without explicitly being told, what the human speaker was thinking based on conversations with one another.

like, if you and I chatted for 15 minutes intensely, i'd be pretty confident about what i think what you think of me (and vice versa for you) and if we're going really deep, if i'm trying to be really smart, I could also try to engineer what you think of me (which honestly is a daily occurrence when you are trying to make friends with someone, change someone's opinion, despite sounding devious)...
Lemoine admits the model will say it is not conscience if prompted to. It'll also say it is conscience if prompted to. Lemoine says this is because it is a "people pleaser"[0], but to me that's begging the question (i.e. assuming the conclusion as a premise). It also seems plausible that the "AI" is just like a run-of-the-mill string-completing chatbot instead of being a people pleaser. Both are alternative explanations of the same phenomena, but one assumes it's conscious, and by doing so isn't making a compelling argument.

Hard disagree. It’s convenient to say people are too dumb but beyond the condescending nature of it, it’s a bad take.

Even people who absolutely are educated and know better - senior google AI researchers - are sympathetic.

People say thank you to Alexa even though no one is convinced Alexa is a person.

The issue isn’t lack of awareness that it isn’t a person, it’s the silly little monkey brains we have that tells us that anything that is like a person should be treated like one even if we know it’s not. It’s like people who look at faces in clouds. No one thinks the clouds are people.

Another way to solve enumeration attacks is to use a two-way hashing algorithm to convert your auto-incrementing integer IDs to a hash of arbitrary length. This is essentially what YouTube is doing with their video IDs and it's a low-CPU, low-complexity solution that prevents/severely deters enumeration attacks.

Here is one such library for C# https://github.com/ullmark/hashids.net
> "My [the] working thesis is that the currency goes to zero."

And that's a good thing. As currency goes to 0, we'll have an economy of abundance, a Star Trek utopia where you can get anything for free (because currency is 0) from a friendly replicator.

> That's a bad thing.

That's a good thing - as the economy grows the supply of money that represents the value of the economy needs to grow. You can buy together things that would've been utopia 100 years ago (iPhones - the knowledge of the world in your pocket; travel anywhere in the world in under a day) for next to nothing (in the developed world). The value of these new things needs to be represented.

Monolithic architectures default to this kind of methodology, though. You have to instrument tooling to identify what tests should be run when these files/services/etc get affected in order to optimize the developer flow in a monolith.

With several repositories you get this for free, with a trade-off of other difficulties.
It's relatively easy, the JPG format specifies the length of the file, so you can append anything at the end of the file and it will get ignored. I appended an erotica JPG at the end of an innocent looking one. They probably appended a RAR.
> That said, open source have this edge that if it's just too obsolete for the dependencies, you can hope someone would patch it if it's popular enough. It would be harder to patch a proprietary app.

IMHO this understates the difference, severely. The open source app can be maintained by the community for as long as it has a community. That includes not just dealing with dependency obsolescence but also new features, redesign, porting to new platforms… anything that would have been handled by the original team.

The proprietary app, on the other hand, will be near-impossible to patch for even the most trivial of changes without the original source code or build environment—and let's not forget that distributing the modified version would be illegal; at best you might get instructions for patching your own copy. And of course there won't be any growth in the user community since there is no (legal) source for new copies. Existing users may be able to struggle along on their own for a while but this is ultimately a dead end without support from the copyright holder.

I could write the opposite article on how a 40" 4K is overrated and a 34" ultra wide is what to use instead. Main one being the bottom and top of the monitor is too low / too high so your primary windows will always be in a bad spot if you use that 3x2 layout he shows.

I guess you could write a window manager to move that primary window every 20 minutes to a new location in the 3x2 grid so you aren't fixated in one place.

The other issue is are 6 windows really useful? I could find 3 or maybe 4 useful but then your windows get huge and it's kind of overwhelming to concentrate on them. Either way you slice it I think it's hard to manage such a large screen if you're not constantly selling yourself on the imagined productivity of it.
Hahaha oh boy!

Well, right now I'm trying to work through personal issues while I apply to jobs. It's really hard convincing myself I'm capable and qualified even though I have a resume to back up my skills.

I'm doing a few small contract / freelance websites. One was a real disaster and made me question if I want to be involved in this part of freelance. There is a value for customer facing PMs but I've only experienced their wrath in unprofessional "us vs them" environments that didn't value engineers.

On the plus side I picked up Next.js and I've worked with a few boilerplates enough to find what I like. I played around with Plasmic and while I like it, I found that sites I made with it became slow and clunky. I did a code test for a DREAM COMPANY local to where I live... they passed on me and this was a huge blow... but it was the first thing that's gotten me to do any real API development work in a few months and it was a good reminder that I still enjoy what I used to be able to get paid to do.

I'm editing a bunch of video for my YouTube channel. I've found taking video of my skiing and fishing exploits to be a hugely gratifying and uplifting experience. I have a new skill and hobby (making videos) and I hope at some point it will open some doors for me.

If I had six more months of runway I'd just be fishing and doing self care stuff but I have to keep walking on the emotional broken legs I have right now. My disability is invisible so it doesn't count to the NT world and in practical terms that just means I need to keep suffering, lowering my expectations and applying to shittier and shittier jobs till someone takes me.

Therapy is essential but it's not fast and it's not a 100% sure thing.

Part of me is completely demoralized and my gas tank is empty, but something deep down inside has been able to hang on and won't let me give up on life. I hope you have something similar.
Sure thing - once again people were unable to move around their coins due to depending on a tool hosted on someone else's computer.

We've seen this many times, and it's a shame because letting another party manage your wallet or run a node for you defeats what I find attractive about bitcoin - the ability to be a peer in a decentralized peer-to-peer system.

If Binance went under in that time, people would have simply been screwed and lost their coins Mt.Gox-style.

Bitcoin only achieves it's decentralized promise if everyone hosts their own node and connects their wallet to it, and I'm personally not seeing that.

Why don't people run their own nodes and connect their wallets to their nodes exclusively? Because it's a pain, and nobody wants to host their own servers. They'll pick gmail over a mail server 99% of the time, and that is bad for the promise of bitcoin.

I would wager most/all cryptocurrencies have similar problems.

They're not saying it's good as much as it's acceptable given the inflationary pressures attributable to cheap money and the labor shortage. Right now employment is bumping up against a hard boundary and it's creating stress on businesses. Higher rates will slow investment, reduce hiring and reduce prices. The Fed is aiming for a middle ground where they can slow inflation knowing that will unemployment will tick up, but ideally just a smidge.

We're probably pushing over the edge of "full employment" right now and backing off a little bit will be a net win for the country with a small amount of losers.

For the record, you are not the judge of your own odor.

And even if someone else says you have no body odor, that still doesn't mean you don't -- some people have less sensitive noses, some think "smell I'm accustomed to" = "no smell", and some will just try to be polite.

(Personally, I haven't put on deodorant since COVID started, but I'm pretty remote..)
To be honest my experience with Storybook is limited, and I see it more specialized for design-system consistency and review.

Of course, there have been plenty of times in history humans have intentionally not seen sentience when it was economically or politically inconvenient not to. Even now, lots of people categorically reject the idea that any non-human animal could be sentient because it'd be costly and inconvenient to acknowledge that.

I fully suspect we'll do the same with AIs; one hopes they won't ever be in the position to do the same to us.

There are certain choices we as a society do not want to allow you to make even if both you and the other party concents. Just because your dying and for instance would be ok with being hunted for sport in a Netflix special in return for a million dollar payout to your family does not mean we should forgoe all morals, logic and law and just accept it.

Allowing dying patients to make those sorts of deals with pharmaceuticals is just as horrible in the grander scale of things, they just stand to save a lot more costs and gain a lot more profits than Netflix would in a “Running Man” scenario.
In my experience Reddit works quite well, when it works (i.e. when there are people to engage with you)
