There's a theory out there that since your intestines have 'taste buds' for sugar, that eating artificial sweetener ends up increasing your body's ability to scavenge sugars from your digestive tract.

It's one of the working theories for a causative link between obesity and consumption of diet soda. Which is usually swamped by the correlative link between the two.
Yeah, Sprite Zero is the sugar-free diet version.
I primarily disagree with "You are a machine. Computers are machines.", but the other points are all based on "You are a machine. Computers are machines." being a true statement so really i disagree with everything.

That human beings are machines is something that needs to be proven, it can't simply be taken for granted.
I've had a concept in mind for this exact scenario that I'm reasonably certain will work, I've just never taken the time to fully implement it.

No need to bond interfaces or apply the same IP to both interfaces. Let them both acquire different IP addresses in the same subnet. Linux will start announcing its ARP replies on the ethernet path since it has a better path metric. Thus the return path for both the wifi IP and the ethernet IP will become the ethernet link. Any existing connections that were traveling over the wifi link will just move onto the ethernet link automatically.

The only difficulty is new connections. Since the ethernet path has the better metric, new connections will establish with the ethernet link's IP address. But the routing table can be adjusted to instead make the wifi link's IP address the default for both the wifi and the ethernet links. Then new connections will always use the wifi IP, and will migrate over to the wifi link when the ethernet link disappears.

This should work as long as your wifi link always remains up whether or not you're in the dock.
The New York Times did an article on this: https://nyti.ms/3mFPBue

American energy production has only inched up because executives fear that oil and gas prices won’t stay high.
That's an interesting point and I agree to an extend, but sometimes I do look for mentions of a particular feature or use case, and in those cases a review that covers those points are more useful.

So unless the review cater to me personally by covering those points, I usually prefer a more detailed review (or a large number of reviews/discussions by Googling in the hope that someone covers those points).

Sure there is progress in neuroscience, researchers understand more about the mechanism of the brain all the time. But there have arguably been very little progress on the hard problem of consciousness. Feel like those things are getting conflated in this comment.
The literal text of their training and the perspectives of the people who train them and work with them have very little todo with each other. Furthermore, behavior like this is fairly consistent across departments.

There is also a well-documented history of police coming up with convenient excuses to do whatever the hell benefits them most (see also: bodycam "malfunctions"). Don't want to get involved in a dangerous situation? Whoops, I forgot my radio! Whoops, we don't have the right gear! Guess we can't get involved for more than an hour!

I agree if the failure is actually a mistake. The developer in this scenario included the gesture on purpose. Pretty clearly shows they don't have the best judgement imo.

even if something is sentient, it seems like intelligence doesn't have to come hand in hand. it's certainly possible to imagine a being that can recognize the concept of self but sucks at any attributes of "intelligence" (long term planning, modeling external phenomena, etc.)
If people try to use their cars less for long in the US, they’re going to need to walk/bike or use public transit.

They’re going to get real mad when they do and find out what it’s like because none of us (in aggregate) seem to care enough to make sure public transit funded. And city/suburb design often makes walking/biking impractical/dangerous/impossible.

they probably won't be fired either because their union will sue and probably win if so

they won't all be put on desk duty because the local govt cannot afford to hire replacement better-cops while also paying all of the worse-cops to sit at a desk

Maybe the standard of driving in the UK is several orders of magnitude better than it is in the US.

I've driven a Tesla with Autopilot, and it simply didn't feel safe to let it do its thing, and it gave up as soon as it saw anything it didn't like, like maybe a junction or a vehicle changing lanes.

Historically the middle class in the past is the modern rich of today. It consisted of the bourgeoisie and the well educated elite who still had to work for their living (i.e. business owners, lawyers etc.) it wasn’t much more than a few percent pf the total population. Prior to the 20th century describing any person earning an ‘average’ income as middle class wouldn’t make much sense.
YMMV. I LOVED the taste of those (used to get the green tea flavor). I have now switched to an "infusions" variety [0]. Has a better taste (I mix with water) than chocolate in water, and is very refreshing after you let it sit for about a min after shaking.

The median US household income is around 60k. The average consumer in the US cannot afford an EV as well as the cost to maintain one. Not to mention the very limited charging options available for travel.

Yeah, I guess there's no reason this really needs lootbox, it just ties it to a known-exploitive quantity. Actually "our AI model is so advanced, your AI companion is totally unique and takes up many gigabytes, we'll have to delete it if you don't keep paying" seems like it would have enough of an appearance of plausibility to trick some people.

What about the US being large requires one to frequently traverse it? Europe is large. And people don't frequently drive from one end of Spain to the other. And when they do, they have 200+mph trains to do it relatively quickly and cheaply.
Frankly that not too atypical to regular chartist's talk. Draw some lines on some charts and make up a whole story. To give the cryptoists some credit, there's no fundamentals in cryptos so they have to use the only other tools available aka tea leaves.

I think a human brain is quite a bit different from any other pile of meat. But a computer running an AI versus the computer running TurboTax is the same thing. They're running through the same set of instructions, swapping the same bits of data in and out of memory.
The strong and static type system makes refactoring and iteration pace extremely predictable in Rust. And it's often quick to do as well.

With dynamic languages you can pretend you're done in an hour and then endure a lot of production bugs. That's not being more productive than Rust. That's playing pretend that a complexity doesn't exist.
To me, an adversarial, long Turing test in the form of a Signal (or similar) conversation is the gold standard for proving sentience. If I can send text, photos, audio, and videos off to a real person (who I don't know) and an AI agent, and not be able to tell who is who based solely off their responses, then the AI is sentient. End of story.

The existence of consciousness in other beings (humans included) is fundamentally unfalsifiable. If it can convincingly act sentient, it is sentient, because we have no other metric we can sensibly use to guage sentience with.

I believe that most discourse about machine sentience is very prone to becoming wrapped up in useless semantics. An argument over definitions of words is not a productive argument. I have yet to come across a single irrefutable reason I shouldn't believe that a Turing-test-passing robot wouldn't be sentient.
Long trips with no traffic in warm weather (but not so warm as to require a lot of AC) are more efficient for an ICE vehicle per mile than the average trip. OP probably lucked into the right conditions
The two driving forces for higher costs are subsidization of demand (gov't assistance + insurance, all of which have some pass-through effect on raising the cost of services), and artificial restriction of supply (it's hard to create a hospital/vet service/hire non-US doctors). Most market-driven healthcare approaches have been handicapped by one (or usually both) of those factors still being in play.

> That's so 1980s.

Yep, we’ve had about 50 years now of a Supreme Court shifting further and further to the right, slowly eroding every government check on corporate malfeasance and rent extraction, including antitrust law. The result has been a slow-motion train wreck, and it’s not clear that anything can be done about it for at least a generation.
A handful of years ago, we had to euthanize our (very old) cat. The plan was to have an at-home come in, but his conditioned worsened, and the service couldn't accommodate us, so I ended up going to an emergency clinic. Initially, it was a bit impersonal, but I was touched by the vet who, when administering the drugs, started crying right along with me.
It took me many years but a great thing you can do for yourself is quit all soda.
It would be the researchers working on the original network, setting biases, seeing what data works, who were exposed to the "real deal".
We have models that we've constructed from observations. They may be decent for some specific purposes, such as those that you describe, but their broad usefulness in understanding how it all works isn't much. The real problems are on the deeper layers of the abstraction hierarchy.
Can we crank out more gasoline?
They may have attended training that generally suggests that approach, but police are not legally required to put themselves in harms way.
Looks pretty straightforward to me https://gist.github.com/fwenzel/622519

If nothing changes for the customer, then why is it a bad thing? Why should consumer care who owns the clinic?

I think this is a bigger issue among emergency clinics. There used to be a few private emergency clinics in my area, but they are, to my knowledge, gone, and replaced by larger corporate operations.

> That's precisely the problem. If engineers were a dime a dozen, then Rails could be a great choice.

If engineers are hard to find then isn't using a framework that maximises developer productivity the way to go? Rails definitely falls into that category.

Related, we recently advertised for Rails and React engineers. We had about the same number of applicants for each position but the Rails engineer quality was in general higher than the React engineer quality.
> They do pretty well discerning between the real and imaginary.

I would say the exact opposite. It’s the parents guiding them as they age as well as maturity that breaks those emotional connections.

How many adults save their childhood teddy bear through adulthood due to emotional connection? Adults who have spouses and pets and children still have an emotional connection to some cotton (even if they know it’s not living).

A child given lambda is probably going to be really engrossed even if it knows it’s a computer.
It's capitalism not politics - or at least not all politics.

High gas prices are great if you own a few oil refineries. Or if you have shorted the market in an expectation of a recession. Or if you own Tesla.
I found out that when I stop drinking Diet Coke, I get depression symptoms. (Reproduced three times now).

It must have something to do with the aspartame in it. When I take DLPA pills (a breakdown product of aspartame), the depression goes away quite fast. Drinking a can or two of Diet Coke also does the trick.
I am squarely in the camp that believes real sentience is not possible anytime soon given the current limits of computation and tech.

My biggest takeaway from this is that emotion gets the best of us when we’re dealing with anything that remotely resemblance sentience. It’s not unlike me thanking Alexa for helping me with small things like turning on my lights, because I would feel bad otherwise.

That's not true. The FDA's definition:

The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor, which is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof.

Yeah, the _best_ attempt at devils advocate I could give them would be that it should be secret just how crappy they are at following their own training/guidance. That's basically complete bullshit though, that's no reason for secrecy.

You really don't understand economics.

> What makes you think it's fair for you to stop working when other people are working their asses off to feed you, give you shelter, etc ?

Where did I say that? If I save money—the result of my labor—and then live off of that, it's not a crime (this is literally the basis for the concept of retirement) or a threat to anyone (they get compensated for their current labor with the proceeds of my past labor). Assuming that it is a threat in some esoteric way, to be honest, is a bit disturbing.

> I'm not going to discuss conspiracy theory-driven paranoia

It's not paranoia, it's awareness. Paranoia implies I think it's going to happen, while awareness implies that I think it could. I don't think the government is actively out to get me—I'm relatively harmless—but I can certainly foresee people like me being sought out if the circumstances necessitate it (in the eyes of the authority).

Markets can work fine with inelastic demand if there is adequate information, freedom of choice and proper regulations.
What is your definition of "desire"?

Note that if said definition is implicitly circular with the definition of "sentience", then we're not even one step closer to understanding anything.
I had the luck of getting to interact with Simon a little at my first real programmer job at Eventbrite. You would never know meeting him that he was one of the creators of Django, (and TIL querySelector!). He was infectiously curious and excited about programming in a way that bubbled over to most people he interacted with. He would also enthusiastically engage with what you were working on, even the beginner project I had at the time. I don't know him well, but my impression was not just of a great programmer, but a great colleague and an authentically positive person.

Congrats on twenty years!
Thanks for that! As interested as I am in this subject, I hadn't heard of this "DescarTest" before :-)

Really cool, thank you. This is the standard way of animating in most engines, right? I'm wondering if there are other techniques that save on sampling the data. Bones form a hierarchy and when the spine bone moves it affects the movement of all the other limbs, but I'm not sure if that's more or less expensive.

Excellent questions. It was a there-and-back trip, so every foot of elevation lost was also re-climbed (about 100 feet overall - the midwest is pretty flat).

This car has Audi's "energy recuperation system", which is actually a "mild hybrid" system but you'll never see those words on the website or Monroney or any advertising - "mild hybrid" has a terrible public reputation despite the fact that it works (but doesn't have much of an effect on the EPA test cycle). Almost every single Audi (and Volvo) sold in the US has this system. It is also the base model, so the tires and wheels are the base 18-inchers which weigh a LOT less than the 20+ inch wheels that everyone loves (and kill fuel economy). The transmission gear ratios are perfectly matched for the speeds I choose. I use high-quality gasoline from Costco, etc.

Go read other people on Audiworld or other forums. I'm not an outlier. These modern turbo engines are great for highway cruising, but drink fuel like it's free if you want "spirited driving".
We can speak of the "Fall of Detroit" even though Detroit continues to exist and hasn't disappeared, but it is certainly no longer in its heyday.
So js framework separates the render function which renders html and the client-side only part (count event) for you. This akin to what I said earlier. The same missing piece here is effect (e.g. http) that actually transfer state from client to sever and persist to storage. The business logic for client-only is not going to be exactly business logic for behind-the-wall rules. Some may be shared but that's not really significant; it's going to be things like optimistic ui.

vdom keeps being mentioned, but it doesn't matter here because it's implementation detail, other frameworks will do it differently.

I don't see it's ended up being different than js as yet another backend language with a separate js for volatile state on ui.

Most of this occurred close 100 hundreds years later after the fall of Rome when the Eastern Roman Empire tried to reconquer Italy the inhabitants of which had really noticed that the empire had fallen in 476. And anyway the population of Rome hadn’t been close to a million for hundreds of years, it had been declining for centuries.
