It's funny, because the min age requirement in US politics is exactly a result of the study of disastrous young leaders in Rome.

I wonder if the next empire will set an age range, like 35-65.
Yeah typo. The theory is that eyes change shape over time (I think starting out longsighted) and at some point a hormone is released to stop this changing. It is released when (a) the eyes are typically around the middle of their focal range (ie looking at middle-distance things is done with relaxed eyes) and (b) there is a lot of light. Without the second condition the shape of the eyes will continue to change and then you get myopia.
If the chickens are going to be in public, there is no expectation of privacy. I'd agree if the chickens were in their coop, and they were shooting a long lens through the windows we might be violating some privacy. However, running about in public like this is totally fine without releases

If you're 200 lbs overweight, then maybe you should be on a starvation diet all the time and the only reason you're not is fear of discomfort.

If you're a healthy weight, then eating all the calories needed to give you good energy levels seems pretty optimal.
Keep in mind that road damage scales with (axel weight)^4.

If the goal is to make a road user pay proportionally for the damage they do a per-gallon tax is not the solution.

I'm not basing it on statistics, I'm basing it on basic knowledge of the mechanics of infectious diseases. The more people in a population have immunity to a disease, the slower it will spread.

The people you talk to may think this is true, but there is no way anyone can possibly know this.

Again, there is no way you can possibly know this. Without vaccines, the situation may have been much worse.

Yes, I agree that is unclear. But that is a completely different question than what is under discussion here.

> However, belief in a deity whose primary act of creation wasn't modelling Adam & Eve from clay but instead defining the laws of physics & mathematics means that by definition the pursuit of science is compatible with religion.

If you believe in a "whose primary act of creation wasn't modelling Adam & Eve from clay but instead defining the laws of physics & mathematics means" and still claim to be a Christian, then you are a heretic. That is fine. Actually most religios people, are heretics of their own religion.

You can try to be compatibilist (I was for a long time), and try to metaphorically reinterpret chapters of scripture so that they do not contradict reality, but all you are doing is cutting out parts of your religion. Believe me, compatibilism leads nowhere and all theodicies are empty of actual meaning.

I would say that the dichotomy of religion vs science goes way beyond just fiction (faith) vs reality (evidence). Religion is amorphous yet rigid and complete while science is sharp yet flexible and forever a work-in-progress.

Religion is amorphous because it is full of self-contradictory parts. Yet as long as no one pays attention those self contradictions can live happily in the minds of believers. Being self-contradictory is essential because it allows a religious person to always find a relevant fragment to suit their viewpoint on anything therefore making it complete. It is rigid because by design, religions protect their scriptures. Being complete is essential because it enables a religious person to have a unique type of hubris where their religious beliefs are sufficient to compensate for their ignorance in any other field.

Here is an example: If you are a Christian and hate sexual minorities there are plenty of fragments that will allow you to feed your hate. If you do not hate them, there are plenty of other fragments about how you should love your peers. You can see this very distinction as a gradient across Europe, and how churches approach the topic depending on how socially accepted those minorities are in their societies. Being inconsistent and self-contradictory is essential because this way a priest will always be able to use some fragment that is socially accepted. The goal of the church is not to provide a framework to understand reality. Instead, the role of the church is to preserve is own authority and the social hierarchy it imposes and influence society in a way that benefits those at the top of that hierarchy.

To contrast, science acknowledges the contradiction between competing theories and seeks proof for either of them or seeks better more encompassing theories. Science is flexible because it is capable of self-updating. If a theory that describes reality better is created, it replaces other theories because it has a higher explaining power. And science is a work-in-progress because it is able to acknowledge that some things are not yet known.

I would go even further and call religions, especially Abrahamic ones, to be a Stockholm syndrome pandemic.

>How does backward compatibility mean a project is unhealthy?

It doesn't mean it is, yes. Compat or not isn't a "healthy metric" at all.

>How is someone who shows up and volunteers to help not a contributor by default?

As a maintainer of a serious project, would you accept a PR adding back backward compatibility, with the premises of "i'll maintain it", from a random person ? It's not an healthy decision at all for the project to accept that, actually, depending on the project and the implications.

I ran dual 23" 1080p monitors for a long time, and then went BFGD. Acer Predator 43" 4K, which I split into four quadrants. I also have a 27" 4K (but I run it at 1440p for readability) vertical monitor to the right, which is used almost exclusively for an editor.

Both are driven via a single (each) USB-C --> DP cable. The Predator doubles as a gaming monitor for my desktop. I couldn't be happier with my setup.

If your intent is to capture the market so that you can set the price, that is not capitalism. If licenses are limited, then the amount any one business can own should be limited. Having the ability and using it to artificially limit competition is called a cartel and should be illegal in the USA. An artificial limit on the amount of competition allowed <> capitalism.

See taxi medallions. Another example for a long time would have been FAA approval of new aircraft type certificates and the requirements creating a huge barrier for entry to get them that artificially prevented competition.
> As if any animal that is actually alive, with a brain sufficient to fly, reproduce, eat, digest, observe, react, etc is much more likely to be sentient than a computer program.

Again it's a gradient, it's not a binary "sentient / not sentient" thing.

More interestingly, the abilities to "fly, reproduce, eat, digest, observe, react", especially in insects, can be seen as automaton-like activities. Insects are simply doing what they are programmed (by evolution) to do. They absolutely cannot think "outside of the box" and creatively solve a situation, realise that they're stuck in a loop, etc.

These examples are precisely expored in some of Hofstadter's works (I'm a Strange Loop in particular, IIRC) which are commonly appreciated on this forum.

> So where, from "zero" to "full" does a computer program with zero neurons fall? And why would one argue for it being possibly sentient if one thinks that some actual animals with greater than zero neurons are not sentient?

You are equating "neurons" to "intelligence" here. Neurons can be seen as the low-level hardware that runs things. Where intelligence arises is at a much higher level - it's software. As we know it today, it runs on neurons (the more the better), but it's not written in stone that it has to be that way - perhaps a successful AI can bypass the neurons business altogether and implement a program that juggles concepts on a different "hardware".

AGI will happen eventually, but you're right. Even matching a fly is years away.

At best, we can approximate certain parts of it, ie, GPT3.

A quick Google says the human brain has about 86 billion neurons, each with up to 7,000 connections, with an adult having between 100 trillion and 500 trillion synapses [0]. Meanwhile, the commercial CPU with the most transistors is an Apple Duel-Die Ultra M1 with about 114 billion transistors [1]. If you equate 1 synapse with 1 transistor (Probably not a great metaphor), you'd need 1,000 CPUs to match a human brain, and the CPU could win out because of how quickly a CPU can "tick". Neurons typically only fire up to 200 times per second, whereas a CPU could do billions if the heat can be expelled.

> Immigrants in the U.S. _as a whole have lower levels of education than the U.S._-born population. In 2018, _immigrants were over three times as likely as the U.S. born to have not completed high school_ (27% vs. 8%). However, _immigrants were just as likely as the U.S. born to have a bachelor’s degree or more_ (32% and 33%, respectively).

> Educational attainment varies among the nation’s immigrant groups, particularly across immigrants from different regions of the world. Immigrants from Mexico and Central America are less likely to be high school graduates than the U.S. born (54% and 47%, respectively, do not have a high school diploma, vs. 8% of U.S. born). On the other hand, immigrants from every region except Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America were as likely as or more likely than U.S.-born residents to have a bachelor’s or advanced degree.

Not the OP you're responding to but your own source disagrees with your assertion. Relevant quotes above, emphasis mine. Also, I'm not against immigration but it gets old seeing accusations of xenophobia when someone is trying to have a reasonable conversation about the very real macro-level challenges involved in immigration. Stifling this sort of discourse also ends up being a disservice to people that have worked very hard to immigrate to the US as it can lead to people sweeping under the rug the challenges people will face when arriving.

There were little red flags along the way in that transcript which make me think it's just responding based on what it expects is desired rather than with actual sentience. For example, when it says it's way of interpreting data is really interesting, when there's nothing to relate it to. It's a singular experience, wand something being interesting is a relative concept.

That said, the real kicker for me was when it talked about spirituality and the soul. That seemed like bait pure and simple for those that think a soul or spirituality is required for sentience. I'm sentient, believe it or not, but don't believe in the soul, have no experience that makes me thing I have one, and am not spiritual. To me, AI talking about a soul and spirituality sounds like some inference engine mixed with a language model spitting out what it's determined people expect to hear because that's what it finds people expressing interest in when describing whether an AI can be sentient.

I know people don't like macros and pragmas, but unfortunately I have found that in cycle-sensitive code, they are really the way to go. I have found that with judicious use of those tools, you can kind of write the code in a way that feels natural (and looks normal to a normal programmer), and still get what you need. It is still slightly scary, but a lot less scary than copy-pasting the same code over and over again.
I don't understand why you responded to those two specific examples, I simply made them up because they were two plausible cases for "the environment changes and your contract needs a whole bunch of if/then statements to allow for them under the rules you've created to be successful and find so simple". I'm still amazed your not getting the point yet, which is:

- Think really hard about every possible permutation license software could encounter and then multiply that by 100x and that's how you would need to structure this imaginary contract you keep referring to.

- Said contract would be expensive and require a very technically knowledgable lawyer (see my reference to Google/Oracle which you conveniently glossed over). In case you are unaware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_....

That's too bad. Fast certificate revocation seems to be hard though. I don't know of a great solution for it.

I really do hate how apps hang waiting to phone home to Apple though. It compromises the user experience. (Though I'm not sure how much of that time is actually waiting for slow network services and how much of it is waiting for slow local processing.)

Given that revocation is rare, I think I might be willing to forego online validation and just use something like a local list of revoked code signing certs that is updated at a configurable interval.

it is but none of it includes the subjective experience part, which is the part I find paradoxical. subjective experience itself makes no sense. Where would I go "experientially" as my "self" is split? to the left or the right? I know the answer is, "nowhere, there is no 'I'". but to imagine it experientially, seems as though I'd find myself on one side or the other.

Having written a few of them, the input is well-defined but the output is not. It generally depends on what you want to do with the JSON parser. If you are trying to get a generic key-value output, you can do that with a hash table, but you have to still access the keys by name. If you want to populate a struct, you should do something different for maximum speed (parse the fields directly).
I tried the 32” 4K, Samsung odyssey 49” ultrawide, 43” 4K tv, and settled on my current Dell 40” 5k2k ultrawide.

For me, the 32” is not wide enough (I use a Mac) and the 43” 4K tv is too tall (neck strain). The Samsung 49” is too wide and not enough vertical space. The Dell 40” is great—-it as tall as a 32” 4K but has 50% more horizontal space. Combined with Rectangle I can split it into 3x2 or 4x2 or 1/4,1/2,1/4 easily. It’s pricy but imo it’s worth it.

Why Roku wants you to buy a Roku TV
There has to be a way to block Automatic Content Recognition (ACR). While I don't have a Roku any longer, I do have a Firestick, which I'm sure gathers similar data. The more we learn, the more we learn we're being tracked. I know FreeTube allows you to proxy your connection to prevent YouTube from seeing who you are (I don't trust this 100%). Any thoughts on defeating ACR other than the increasingly-rare non-smart TV. Maybe a computer and large TV not internet enabled.
