Agree.

The problem you describe is the inverse of the common testing problem you see with microservices (a dependent service changed without kicking off downstream tests against the new version). I'd take your version any day... It's easier for me to make tests faster and/or correctly identify which should run on a change if they're all in one repo as opposed to making network calls to each other across a service boundary. Also, clearly always better to run superfluous tests than to skip necessary tests.

Yes, this happens to me too. I can get maybe a maximum 15-20 minutes of increased cognitive performance after ingestion. Once that is over I become lethargic and afterwards a bit irate since my concentration dips.

It bothers me that people like Warren Buffet can go along their day ingesting copious amounts of coke normal and sweets and still be a functional productive human being.

It was a viral post from a few weeks back. From what I remember the main cost increase was because of gas prices.
This isn't an rspec problem, it's a Factories-for-ActiveRecord problem.

The two main options to mitigate are:

- just work with in-memory objects (FactoryBot using build or build_stubbed, or just MyModel.new) and stub/mock finders as needed,

- or there's this thing people like to hate that was introduced in Rails 1 called test fixtures, which allow you to prepopulate the database with some initial data and then your test just runs in a transaction and rolls back.

The best suggestion I've heard recently (though I can't recall where to give credit) for managing complexity w/ fixtures is to write an extremely minimal fixture set aiming for 2 instances per model with minimal data required to be valid, and then customize it as part of your test. For a blog example, that means you have two Posts in your fixtures and would write a test around drafts by updating one of them to draft status (be it state, toggle, or publication date) and then test your query, or controller, or whatever. This keeps the data churn inside each test minimal, while keeping the out-of-scope data minimal as well -- if there's only 2 blog posts, all your tests can assume there will be one you care about and one you don't, which is useful for testing filtering/search/visibility/authorization/etc while remaining pretty consistent.
Indeed, but it's been steadily deliberately undermined as the idea that a government has no responsibility to it's citizens except to keep the line going up and trickle down economics took root. It's easy to see how pension funds play into this. They are a tool that ties up millions of people's future and savings into the stock market, providing the financial sector with a huge number of retail investors who can be made to hold the bag for financial crashes. Under this angle, it is not at all surprising that they would end up investing into incredibly risky ventures.

Sorry for the paranoia but ever since I'v found out you cannot delete accounts from HackerNews I tend not to reveal too much personal info.

You are asserting that it's not conscious, as if it was self evident, just like Searle does for his chinese room.

However I've yet to see any argument on why it can't be conscious.
We simply don't know what produces the subjective phenomenon of consciousness.
A "zombie" is by definition indistinguishable from a conscious "non-zombie", therefore the only ethical thing to do is to err on the side of caution and assume consciousness where conscious behaviour is shown.

The immitation game is a lot more about philosophy than actual tests.

To quote directly from turings paper:

>>>
The Argument from Consciousness

This argument is very well expressed in Professor Jefferson's Lister Oration for 1949, from which I quote. “Not until a machine can write a sonnet or compose a concerto because of thoughts and emotions felt, and not by the chance fall of symbols, could we agree that machine equals brain—that is, not only write it but know that it had written it. No mechanism could feel (and not merely artificially signal, an easy contrivance) pleasure at its successes, grief when its valves fuse, be warmed by flattery, be made miserable by its mistakes, be charmed by sex, be angry or depressed when it cannot get what it wants.”

This argument appears to be a denial of the validity of our test. According to the most extreme form of this view the only way by which one could be sure that a machine thinks is to be the machine and to feel oneself thinking. One could then describe these feelings to the world, but of course no one would be justified in taking any notice. Likewise according to this view the only way to know that a man thinks is to be that particular man. It is in fact the solipsist point of view. It may be the most logical view to hold but it makes communication of ideas difficult. A is liable to believe ‘A thinks but B does not’ whilst B believes ‘B thinks but A does not’. Instead of arguing continually over this point it is usual to have the polite convention that everyone thinks.

Raymond Chen's post on UUID sort orders has been indispensable to me at various points: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20190426-00/?p=10...

It's fun to note that the worst possible UUID sort order in existence isn't Microsoft's fault but Sun's. They missed the "unsigned" catch to those integers in the struct and Java sorts UUIDs as signed integers. (Which is why sometimes you'll notice in for instance Android apps Guids get sorted such that that 8000... < FFFF... < 0000... < 7FFF...)
I never had a 6100 (honestly never even had a Mac pre-OSX), but I'm getting a massive amount of nostalgia poisoning from just the website. For most of the 90s, probably into the 2000s for a bit, finding a "fan page" like this was like striking gold. I feel like the equivalent today is some mix of finding a well-written Wiki page and a well-moderated subreddit on some topic or product you are interested in, but the personal touch on pages like this is somehow cooler.

It makes me feel somewhat good to read this page and realize how charming I still find it.
A mixture of carpooling, WFH, biking and walking, switching to fuel-efficient vehicles, less recreational driving, plus public transportation where it's available. I'm not saying any one of these will work for everyone, but when gas gets expensive enough you'll see all of these come into play.
If you blame Christianity, what about all of Constantine's other major changes?

It's the Economy, Steve. In particular, if you discourage commerce, you're playing with fire in an empire with such an extension.

I'm no fan of Christianity, but the claim that it was central to the fall always comes off as somewhat lazy.

I thought I'd added enough nuance. The three aspects I mentioned are not trivial and can be connected directly. In fact, it's not something that just occured to me, there's abundant literature on them and are considered most probable causes by a lot of scolars.
Damn. I had no idea things were so bad in SF. I was there a few weeks ago to visit friends and my rental car window got smashed and 15k+ in electronics and jewelry were stolen. I chalked it up to just being a big city. There’s plenty of crime where I live so I didn’t think much of it. Maybe it really is extra bad in the Bay Area…

There was also constant solicitation for petitions of all sorts. Nobody I spoke with seemed to have a coherent plan beyond raising taxes. I was chastised by a woman in a $2MM house for not having solar panels on my property in Georgia like she has. In my head I’m shouting “I can’t afford that shit!”

Perhaps the Bay Area residents should study up on taxation and economics before passing half baked legislation.
A Short List of Hard Questions: How We Killed Arcus
The time to invest in future is when the cost of resources was cheap. We should have built high-speed rail, lots of metro lines and expanded the Amtrak network.

What did we do instead? Occupied countries with nothing to show for it, engaged in futile trade wars and allowed financial speculation in everything we produce.
Now we just need to define "consider" and "meaningful".
Biden has blocked oil contracts in the US but supported other countries to produce oil, it is very clear the democratic parties plan. There is no reason for oil prices to be this high. It's clearly by design.
The solution to that is reforming the educational and licensing system, not putting finance people in charge.

> prioritizing new features every sprint and constantly pushing housekeeping, bugsquashing, and system improvements will result in a broken collection of microservices just as quickly as it resulted in a broken monolith.

Now, HTF do you convince a C-Level of this truth? Seems like there is never any time for any sort of housekeeping until the house is literally on fire and the whole world is looking at our smoke pillar.

Even then, they'll usually be like "Ok, take 2 weeks to fix all our architecture problems and then get back to work on new features!". As SOON as the fire is doused, they want to move on rather than cleaning and removing the flammable material and the flame that keep starting the fire.
I'd assume it ends up being that once the company owns all of them it can assign vets to whichever office needs "coverage", jack prices, and raise salary somewhat, too.

To be fair to the companies, they do usually work to "maximize vet time" where they hire or outsource the other stuff the office does so the vet is spending most of their time vetting instead of paperwork and office work.
LLVM was started far after the 6100 and, afaik, didn't move to an Apple backed project until 2005[0].

Apple did have "fat" binaries during the classic Mac OS transition, and interestingly enough, so did NeXT. The implementations were very different, however, and OS X eventually got the NeXT implementation.

I think that's just an extra step in your argument about intrinsic value. Now you have to analyze why the price of energy is $10/hour. That transaction is just another thing determined by a market where there isn't actually intrinsic value that sets the price, but another buyer. You can analyze this series of transactions forever, but you won't ever arrive at a point where the intrinsic value of something is what sets a price directly.

Note: I completely agree with you on the concept of an equilibrium price being a real thing, I just don't think equilibrium is determined by intrinsic value.
Wow, RTG was killed by Sidekiq requiring Redis 4. Not the first company killed by the upgrade treadmill I'm sure. People should be on the lookout for projects like Sidekiq that force upgrades, and push back on them and/or volunteer to help make it backward-compatible and/or hard-fork it if the devs won't agree to it.

Here's how that works:

1. You see an announcement. "Foobar 2.0 requires Bazz 4.x"

2. You make a friendly suggestion that they not break backward compatibility with Bazz 3.x

3. If that fails, you volunteer to maintain backward compat yourself.

4. If they reject your patches, you hard fork Foobar and try to kill the original project, as they are clearly not good open-source citizens and must be replaced.

So your statement was this:

> There must be something "turing complete-ish" about neural nets. As in although the primitive element of a human neuron is complex, you can achieve identical computational power with a much simpler model.

So the assertion is, that you can achieve identical computational power to a neuron with a much simpler model.

That is a leap of faith. There is insufficient evidence to conclude this. If you said "I believe there might be" or "it's possible that" I would not have taken issue with it, but there is a very high burden of evidence to assert this belief. Without that evidence you are operating on faith.

Until we can successfully reproduce something approximating human intelligence, or until we can postulate a credible mechanism by which human intelligence arises, it's a very very big leap to assume we understand anything about what is or isn't required to produce it.

> complexity isn't indicative of efficiency ... But we don't know whether the entire structure is efficient.

We don't know the complexity is efficient, and we don't know whether it's required. What we do know for a fact is that a human brain is capable of producing human intelligence. We don't have evidence that any other system is in fact able to produce human-like intelligence.

> But it is not evidence supporting the thesis that the brain being inefficient is a leap of faith.

I don't have to produce evidence that it's a leap of faith. You made a claim that is not supported by evidence. You have to provide evidence for your claim, or else it is defacto a leap of faith.

> The feeling has been rationalized. I explained the logic, it is now backed up. The criterion here is not absolutist. The criterion is just stating whether or not such a scenario is likely. IS it a leap of faith or is it not? I've sufficiently proved that the brain being inefficient is clearly NOT a leap of faith.

Yeah but you can rationalize just about anything. I could provide a rational argument for why God exists. It's still a leap of faith to believe in God.

You have a rationalization, but it falls far short of being any kind of rigorous proof.

> Easy we have many ML models that already beat humans at certain tasks.. Those models use much less neurons then the entire brain itself and follows a much simpler model. See spam filters. It shows that a simpler model is already possible for certain aspects of intelligence.

All ML models prove is that we have been capable of producing machines that are capable of pattern recognition. It's a massive leap of faith to generalize this result to assert the belief that neurons in general can be modeled at a much lower level of complexity. It may be the case, but there is insufficient evidence to conclude that. It's just your belief based on gut instinct, and the fact that you've talked yourself into it.
It's not as simple as hiriing vets. It's having techs to support the vets. Minimum, you need two techs to support a vet, ideally three. Many states require techs to be licensed and have at least AA degrees, so you're paying for an additional 2-3 educated people plus the vet.

Of course, the "ideal" rarely happens, the point is, with every vet you add, issues of juggling staff, scheduling, and turnover skyrocket

This. Both sides of the political spectrum are somewhat correct in their "arguments", but for the wrong reasons. Gas and water (re: the water issues rampant throughout the southwest USA) are two heavily subsidized utilities that the public hasn't been able to either a) feel the impact of, nor b) understand the true extend of the subsidization. Thus when supply-side issues overwhelm the subsidies, they are mad.
