This is the basic problem of sentience though, right? Lots of people suspect it is something like wind or rain, but we haven't gotten the physics or biology down yet.

When philosophers separate the world into 'high probability guess work' and 'logically provable laws,' pretty much all of experimental science gets put in the former bucket.

I think the level of precision in describing behavior can't be it. If we assume human minds are by definition sentient, we can imagine all sorts of hypotheticals -- plug a brain into a virtual reality with very constrained choices, and you'll I guess be able to construct a situation in which it behaves very predictably. Do it from birth, and we've chipped away at your 'lifetime' objection. I think we'll have trouble getting the ethics board to approve this one.

After not trying Thunderbird since the '90s (when I dismissed it with prejudice for having no way to export, and thus copy between computers, all the filters you'd set up), I was forced to after discovering the unusably defective shitshow that is Outlook today.

I was pleasantly surprised by the experience of installing and configuring Thunderbird on two new computers I bought for my parents. Pretty much seamless, and I kept waiting for it to fail it furiously downloaded all 15,000+ messages in each of their AOL In-boxes. Nope. It worked fine, unlike Outlook and whatever the atrocious POS client Microsoft is including with Windows these days.
If it were adults your theory may hold, but not for children.

Evolutionarily we have even higher desire to protect our young(so does most of animal kingdom).

The instinct to protect young children is stronger than desire to protect self - the trait is easily strongly selected under evolutionary pressure.
It all started going a very wrong way when animal health insurance became a thing.

I've always had vets peddle weird stuff but that was a real eye opener.
Other take: north of a dozen "good guys with guns" didn't do jack-shit.

Other other take: military bases have very strict gun control, far in excess of the civilian world, despite hopefully being far more reliable, stable, and law-abiding than the general population. It makes them more vulnerable in certain rare cases, but they judge it to make them far safer in general, so the rules stick.

Other other other take: pro-gun people and pro-gun organizations sure are eager to keep gun-toting randos way the hell away from themselves, most of the time. Super weird behavior if they think more guns make them safer. See also: most courthouses even in red states, et c.

When it actually matters, it's pretty clear what is regarded by basically everyone as making a place safer: fewer guns. It's only when people are talking a big game that they absolutely aren't willing to back up, that they claim to believe the opposite is true.
I don't know which one is faster, but I know that one is not correct (squared approach).
The idea is that you write one set of fixtures for the whole app that you then use in all tests. You'd have a valid company and a valid user in your fixtures, but that's fine because you probably want to test both the company and user models. In the user model tests, you can ignore the existence of the company fixtures, and vice versa.

Since the inserts only happen once for the whole test suite, the marginal cost of adding more fixtures is minimal, so it makes sense to just make the fixtures as complete as possible.
Tangentially here is my wishlist for a phone os:

- Displays text on screen

- Responds to touch input for navigating a contact list and call functions

- Initiates and terminates calls

- Operates the handsfree speaker

- Shows battery status

- Basic text input

- Provides gsm connectivity, no internet, no bluetooth

- Its a dumb os doing nothing more than the above - nada, nil.

I am not being sarcastic, but i would install such an “os” on spare smartphones in a heartbeat. It would save on battery, reduce waste and enhance my privacy. I am not knowledgeable on the topic otherwise i’d do it myself. Hopefully someone with experience can make it happen.

> and doing so by decreasing existing gas and oil production.

We produce more barrels of oil today than in the previous administration. Granted, it's a marginal amount more on a daily basis, but it's still more, and by quite a bit over the year. We have actually seen nothing but upticks in oil production in the US since the Obama admin. Not because the Obama admin encouraged it, but because the world price of a barrel of oil became high enough to warrant exploiting harder to reach and extract oil deposits.

Ideally they shouldn't care. I was giving an example of why consumers would choose to go to a corp clinic over independent - they simply don't know it's corporate owned.

They are many signs, but when you start asking this question, you are very likely already burning out.

I have a few burnout coworkers around me, the signs I've observed:
- complaints about the system/process/workload,
- always busy but no fruitful deliverables,
- memory loss/slow reaction,
- bad tempered, easy to become anger when hearing about different opinions,
- worse immunity but not taking sick leave.
Well, people that got in early and got out about 6m ago (or now, still) might have made good money. Attributing it to a deep understanding of the technology is almost certainly wrong; attributing it to a certain street-smart understanding of bubbles, marketing, and hype might be correct. Though I'm inclined to just call it luck.
Yes, it's expected that first responders may do things that are generally dangerous but they're not on kamikaze missions, it's completely normal for them to back out when they believe their own life is in danger.

This is not any different for any first responder. Firefighters will run right back out of your house if they think it's required to save their own lives.
Wouldn't the second one also potentially be incorrect due to overflow?
If I happened to be on the jury for a case assessing the murder of an Uvalde police officer by an Uvalde school parent I would not vote "Guilty" under any circumstance.

Realistically, I think what this situation means is that the police, at least in Uvalde, need to be disbanded and reformed and serious steps need to be taken to ensure their failure is not repeated. I think such serious steps include charging the cowardly officers with murder. Future Uvalde officers should know it is more dangerous to refuse to face the school shooter - and one path for that is if they know they will get the death penalty for being complicit in the mass murder of children if they just cower outside while the massacre happens.
I do the same. Cheap 4K TV (HDR, 60Hz) gives you much more screen estate. 43 inch is big enough to keep the DPI scaling on 125%. I am very happy with this setup
A great many years ago (early 2000s) I tried to get a number of computers to play a simple melody in harmony using PC speaker beeps.

To try to keep them in sync I used broadcast Ethernet packets.

It worked. Sort of. Then fell out of sync. They were generally on time (thanks to the sync) but had enough difference to be easily noticeable and kind of annoying.

Not unlike a first school band recital.

It was fun. Half the project was getting the speakers to beep because that’s a Win16 function I was calling from a Win32 context and I had to thunk into it.
I’ve hands on done these roll ups in mass (a ton of tiny M&A deals) and I would not characterize the physicians that way at all. They are generally fairly savvy small business owners and they always saw their practice as a retirement/nest egg. They also tend to burn out on all the insane regulations/insurance/employer/etc hoops they have to jump through and as a small business they tend not to have negotiating power or the scale to leverage shared services. These are the primary benefits of the roll up along with jacking up prices as much as possible obviously.

Like many physicians these days, they see benefits of just being a W2 employee. It’s also a demographic wave, there’s a lot of near retirement folks that are winding down and these PE firms are providing liquidity for their practice. For the consumer though, it’s probably not a good thing at all
> Maybe it would be worth spending some mental cycles thinking about the impacts this will have and how we design these systems.

Regardless if the bot is actually sentient, a portion of the population may _believe_ the bot is sentient.

If in practice the bot reflects back to each user their own views but perhaps more extreme, then this could be a terrible recipe for reinforcing and amplifying negative and socially destructive thinking -- equivalent to social media bubbles on steroids.

This can occur even without explicit bad actors trying to tip the scales toward a specific outcome. This kind of AI bot as-is has the potential to bring out the very worst in at least some percentage of the population.

> PA level is constantly high because of drinking Diet Coke

I'd probably question if this is even possible in a healthy individual. You probably eat a lot of phenylalanine regularly. My intuition is that you'd really have to go out of your way and actively want to give yourself brain damage to even achieve this.

Given this: https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/high-phenylalanine-foods... which shows chicken breast has 2190mg and your average can of diet coke has around 104 mg https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1617863/, I think that probably holds.

EDIT: That link probably underscores that the warning label on your coke can is purely for the benefit of Phenylketoneurics, not you. A steak & 2 egg breakfast with a latte would land you with far more phenylalanine than you could sanely consume purely through coke. You'd likely be sick from the caffeine sooner than the phenylalanine.
Like a lesser degree of manslaughter. If they prevented people from entering that could have saved lives.
The question kind of becomes whether you're willing and able to get authorisation to move to the US, specifically to an area where $130k is below the definition of "low income" and requires five roommates even then, because employers will CoL adjust below 100k even within the US when you move cities.

edit: SFHUD's low income definition for a 4 person family is $149,100 now
19 cops (in the hallway alone; more outside!) with rifles, armor, and complete control of the scene against one shooter is not a "kamikaze mission".

If you write math heavy code, probably a lot more than if you're writing web apps. Depends on what kind of software you write.
Same history here, but to be honest, a good day with Mac OS 7/8/9 was literally defined by having no forced reboots due to a crash. Especially somewhat heavy multitasking with Photoshop, BBEdit, Netscape and Eudora usually lead to a system crash once every few hours. You can tell the seasoned Mac user by them having seconds enabled on the menu bar clock, so they can see whether the machine is still doing anything :)

With later hardware and software, especially G3/G4 with Mac OS 9.x, the machine crashed less often, but usually still did at least a few times per week.
An antiquated notion of a profession is some "job" that has a primary responsibility to the public: nurse, doctor, lawyer, police officer, firefighter, etc.

You should not go into a profession that entails personal risk if that prevents you from meeting your obligations to the public. I surely wouldn't call actually following the department's policy and training in response this event superhuman in any way, though pretending it is serves to absolve those who failed in their duty.
I remember that. There used to be all kinds of warnings about possibly damaging your drive and what not, that, retrospectively, were mostly overblown. But I guess the computer magazines of the time (almost my only source for this stuff back then) didn't want any liability in the rare case when.

I also fondly remember one program that made the drive's red access LED pulsate really softly on and off. Not only was I blown away that the drive can do that (I didn't know what pulse width modulation was back then), LEDs were still somewhat new enough at the time that I might not have seen a softly pulsating one before. It was really pretty.
