The behavior of multi-component systems are not necessarily reducible to behavior of individual components. But then again, this is also true for systems made out of humans (like societies) - yet we still consider humans sentient, and not societies.

As far as the difference being that of "computation", how do you define that, if not as a series of physical state changes in response to external inputs?
I predict Matt Damon's career will suffer greatly in the next couple years. Being the face of that crypto.com ad that played 5(?) times during the super bowl and regularly thereafter in prime time slots. I think many Baby Boomers invested last winter based on these ads and will forever associate Matt Damon with a scam that cost them dearly.
It seems like the easiest way to get there is to just sell the smartphone and use the money to buy a (possibly used) dumbphone.
In some sense, yes. By knowing yourself, you gain a fairly complete knowledge of one's own capabilities in various situations, and how one will feel in certain circumstances.

On the other hand, it is not a knowledge of precision. You cannot predict exactly what thoughts you will have in the future or what ideas you will have before you have them.
Yep. This happened to us. After the dog was prescribed something (bravecto) she didn't really need, which had big risks we didn't know about, so much so that the FDA issued guidance about seizure risks. She had a seizure 48 hours after we gave it to her, and was dead within 72 hours. We paid like $3k in emergency vet care before they did any work, and she died within 30 minutes of them starting on her. 2 year old collie. Edit: just looked it up and the vet in question is owned by JAB.

Sorry to vent. Still makes me so angry and depressed. None of the vets wanted to entertain the fact that it was the drug, despite mountains of evidence. It doesn't feel like there's a culture of learning, just one of deflecting fault. I hate to be one of those "I've done my own research" types, but with animal care you really are on your own. This happened a few months ago, really miss that dog.
North Carolina is interesting. I view the 'free energy!' marketing ploy for BEVs as a marketing gambit which will end once people are on the hook. I'm not sure this is as simple as being a 'Republican', it's more about societal symmetry around energy availability, cost and usage.

Electricity isn't free to create and pollution is created elsewhere than the vehicle tailpipe. We are currently in a very irrational period of history where people are being seduced with the idea energy is 'free'. It isn't.

2/3 of the US immigration system isn't foreign STEM grads. Not even remotely close. What part of what I said are you actually trying to disagree with?

I was very clearly speaking about the overall US immigration system and how it's structured.

Foreign STEM grads quite obviously fall into the higher income, higher education, higher skill grouping that (per my prior reference) Canada and Australia prefer to focus the majority of their immigration on (whereas the US does not focus its immigration in such a manner).
> Well, NodeJS is the default for service-side JS. Node > Deno.

Are you aware that Deno is very new? I wouldn't say that Ryan Dahl got left behind because everyone hasn't switched to Node yet. There is a large amount of interest in Deno, exemplified by how frequently Deno projects make it to the front page of HN.

> React is the main driver for JS not some server-side BS.

Haha. Just because you hate JS doesn't change reality.

> The classic scripting arg. JS is a poor choice for scripting and hence, not used for it that much anymore.

This statement doesn't make sense. It never was very popular as a Bash replacement, if that's what you're meaning. And otherwise, it is the only option for browser interactivity. So it doesn't make sense what you're saying.

Socially, there's an expectation that all other considerations are disregarded when children are involved. But you really can't save anyone if you're dead anyway. People want to think that heroes will die trying, but those heroes also want to go home to their own children. There's really no black-and-white line here, it's a big grey area.
GitLab team member here. Sid addressed GitLab's use of Go in a comment on a previous discussion of this article from last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31687289

He wrote: "We're moving the 20% of the app consuming 80% of the compute to Go."

His comment also highlights another benefit of the way our core services are structured: reusability.
> Gas stations can install non-free EV charging stations right now, and it will actually increase their non-gas business since EV charging takes longer, so the customer is incentivised to shop the convenience store to stretch their legs

But those apartment dwellers probably won't do that if there's a nearby restaurant with free EV charging stations, which appear to be exactly what this bill is outlawing.

To me, this bill seems to designed to make the plan you outlined more likely to actually work for gas station owners.
This assumes you (for any size of "you") can exceed the amount lobbyists will pay.

Chickens are beautiful creatures worthy of at the least the respect we give to household pets. The unimaginable horror we put billions of them through on an ongoing basis, while dissonantly admiring their charm and brilliance, is a sobering realization.
Super interesting and over my head but to oversimplif: automation and old financial “tools” (mortgages, index funds) good but (excessively?) “innovative financial instruments” is a bridge too far.

Still hard for people not deep in it — me — to see clearly that crypto doesn’t contain the seeds of a better index fund or a cheaper mortgage.
Dear, oh dear. Some of these chickens look like, er, deer.

Nice work.
Yes, they do have very clear personalities. We had one who was very curious about people, just very interested in following you and seeing what you do. It's probably food related motivation, but more than simply seeking a handout as most of them do. You could really see the gears turning in there.
>> And Republicans secretly want big government, again big and small where it suits their and their donors’ interests

The Democrats want to increase spending (services) and the Republicans want to increase control.

Rather than "left" and "right" I once drew a 2D graph and placed a bunch of political parties (ideologies) on it. I don't recall what the axis were unfortunately. All I remember is that anarchy was in the lower left and totalitarian state was the upper right. It turns out the parties don't pull us back and forth left-right, one pulls us UP and the other to (on my graph) the right. Since what they want is not actually opposite, this seems to be pulling us ever more toward the totalitarian state in the far upper right.

What happens if the value collapses bellow the point where it's profitable to mine it then? Wouldn't this only reinforce the collapse as miners flee the system?

I wonder if anyone on HN could tell us how well optimised the code is on these? I imagine the simulations are complicated enough without someone going in and adding some performance optimisation.

Did you read the article?

Didn’t seem like rage bait. It seemed like they laid out the context of this discussion with the rise of employee surveillance.

Do we have to wait for a startup to exist with this product before we can say it’s a bad idea?
Ahh yes. The two male companionship choices. Single, or married to a woman annoyed with his hobbies.
I don't think this follows. If premature optimization is the root of all evil, essentially, we're saying "for all evil, there exists a premature optimization which leads to it." If evil, then sourced in a premature optimization.

Even if we parse his "But..." as saying, "there exists some premature optimization which is not the root of an evil" (ignoring probably valid quibbles about whether the optimizations he's talking about truly are premature), this doesn't contradict the original statement.

In fact, "the root of all evil" seems to be an expression which invites us to commit the fallacy of denying the antecedent -- if premature optimization, then evil, in this case -- because it is almost always used to indicate that the first thing is bad.

Interesting! I'm wondering since you have programmed in PHP, what has been your experience with that? I assume you would be using web frameworks like Laravel or Symfony or equivalent. Does Rails still beat those like it did Java and <Foo>JS?
Yeah, and most leach into the wine. It's less of an issue with wine glasses since the wine is not in them very long, but decanters are a cause for concern. Tbh, I refuse to use crystal glass at all. Cheaper stuff is simply safer.
This is great! I see you've open-sourced some stuff, is there something I can use to train and generate these voices on my computer? I'd love a short tutorial somewhere of "you have an MP3 of your voice, here's how to generate more".
> At some point if/when this course of action becomes untenable due to recession/unemployment/too high interest rates given amount of debt in economy, and Fed reverses course (which they did much earlier last tightening cycle in 2018 when markets tanked), those two assets should rise again.

Right now unemployment is under 4%. The Fed has a lot of leeway to raise rates before what they are doing affects employment, and I'm not sure at all that they will allow unemployment to get too high, if they can help it.
I'm not sure that I would classify humans in the final stages of dementia as being (fully) sentient. I have had the extremely sad experience of helping to care for two different grandparents with late stage memory loss, and while they had moments of lucidity, they had many periods where they were acting almost entirely randomly, or doing nothing at all, barely or not even perceiving the world around them. I struggled a lot to find signs of the person I had deeply loved in them, and there were many times when I can't say I found any signs of a full consciousness in them at all, as troubling as that was.

To be very clear, this came after many years of milder forms of dementia, where their sentience could not in any way have been in question, even when forgetting who I was or where they were or other such things. But the disease can progress to a stage where it's not clear what, if anything, they understand of the world or themselves anymore.

I can't speak for anterograde amnesia as I have no experience with that disease.
Supply of pretty much everything is above pre-pandemic levels. Just that demand is even higher.

>Somewhere, off in the distance, a coal or gas-fired generator is producing a significant majority portion of that electric energy

For every car that is produced, two things are true:

(1) It takes fossil fuels to make and deliver them.
(2) It takes fossil fuels to run them.

For every internal combustion engine car produced in 2022, both (1) and (2) will true for the entire life of the vehicle, which in the US is around 12 years.

For every electric car, only (1) is guaranteed to be true for the life of the car. (2) is a choice, one that we can change in the 12 years that vehicle in on the road.
They also won't do it if there's public transit, but that's already been defunded.

The part where he talks about the quality of benchmarking tools reminded me, a library I think worth mentioning for the .NET crowd is BenchmarkdotNet. Not only can it tell you time for a given test to run (after doing warmups to try and mitigate various problems with running tests cold), it also has options to see how the GC performed, at every generation level. Is this code getting to later generations, or is it staying ephemeral which is cheaper to use and destroy? Or can you avoid heap allocations entirely?

Edit: Oh and I should mention if you want the method level tracking on a run similar to some of his screenshots, if you pay for a Resharper license that comes with dotTrace I believe which gives you that sort of tracking.

My grandparents town in the south used to have a vibrant down town with local everything. Then walmart came and wiped out all the stores, then farms became ever less practical financially, all the kids moved away, then the local restaurants closed. Now there's a few streets of closed businesses and a few restaurants hanging on. This is why all those people from the small towns feel the apocalypse is on them, there is no viable financial path for people there anymore, and they have to support politicians who say only they can fix it, but end up hurting them even more. This same thing happened to my great grandparent's farmland and small town in a town 500 miles away.
eh, the names of computer programmers don't really leak. We know a lot of programmers because of open source, but who was on the team that released each version of the Microsoft Office Suite...? If they have a blog sure, but otherwise, who knows.
Careful with taking that number at face value. For the longest time the EV market was an upper-class market, so first adopters most likely were people who are wealthy enough to have their own home and thus the option to install their own chargers, particularly as the charging networks weren't really in place yet 10 years ago.

But over time that % is bound to shift heavily as EVs become more affordable, the charging networks become more dense, and more people, who don't own their own property, get into the market.

This will very likely increase demand for "not at home" charging, particularly considering how in many urban places people already struggle with finding a place to park, let alone one with a charger.
lol, why buy them out? They made money for decades. It's alright to hang up a successful business after a good run imo.
Just did this, rewrote a deployed cli from Python[1] to Go[2]. It delivered on all the expectations. Less CPU & RAM usage, less dependence on system stuff like openssl, more diverse platform support.

That setup sounds workable, but dual screens is almost non-negotiable for me because it allows entire sets of primary/secondary windows to be mixed and matched on the fly just by changing spaces (I use macOS primarily as well). It's very powerful, because it cuts the overhead of window management down to almost nothing without adding any key shortcuts or gestures beyond what I'd be using anyway.

For snap functionality on the rare occasion it's needed, I use Moom because it's probably the most unobtrusive of those types of utilities. No Aero Snap to unintentionally activate or draw spurious rectangles and no extra key shortcuts, just a little bubble that pops up when hovering over the green traffic light. macOS also has very similar snapping functionality built in so when working on a stock configuration system I'm still mostly at home.
I identified your comment as what is was, then proceeded to explain exactly why it was that. Any "hyper aggression" your reading is your in your own mind and I assure you I would have responded the same way face to face with pretty much anyone.

Frankly it wasn't a good faith argument. Even if you somehow didn't know that one of the core issues with Guantanamo was that people were being held indefinitely without trial, a 30 second Google would've told you that, and a couple minutes of research would have told you that it was established specifically to avoid the need for a trial or anything resembling due process.

In other words the idea that Guantanamo Bay detainees "likely" got something resembling a trial is horseshit.
Capitalism kind of does become "not capitalism" when a small cartel of individuals uses these public safety rules to arbitrarily cap the number of professionals who can be certified. At that point, you have something approaching mercantilism. Rules can be good for markets, but in the medical industry in the US they are far past that point.

I haven't checked, but I assume that today there are more rules and regulations on doctors in the US than there were on the entire Soviet economy. Some of those rules are good, but most of them are in place because a hospital system or a medical association lobbied to put them in place so that they could keep barriers to entry high.
Avoid the Death Spiral of Bullshit
In my case, the choice is made for me (I write Apple native, so Swift, it is...).

I have found that his advice on using profilers was very important. I thought I knew where it would be slow, but the profiler usually stuck its tongue out at me and laughed.

When I ran a C++ shop, optimization was a black art. Things like keeping code and pipelines in low-level caches could have 100X impact on performance, so we would do things like optimize to avoid breaking cache. This often resulted in things like copying and pasting lines of code to run sequentially, instead of in a loop, or as a subroutine/method.

It's difficult. There's usually some "low-hanging fruit" that will give awesome speedups, then, it gets difficult.

>$1,500/hr is pretty crazy regardless of your field.

So that's $3 million/year assuming someone takes pretty much normal US vacations and holidays. And bills 8 hours/day which certainly no lawyer does unless they're working insane hours. So maybe cut that in half. (And leaving aside that you almost certainly can't book a full schedule.)

Is $1.5 million/year still a lot of money? Sure. It's also not out of the realm of even non-executive compensation in places like Silicon Valley or even the medical field. And, in practice, most people doing this even those who command the highest sums, are probably doing this much less than 1,000 hours/year. Those who do earn the highest amounts are doing it, like lawyers and consultancies, by billing out associates who earn a lot less than their billable rate.
Generally people with knowledge of shady stuff have a financial incentive not to speak out.
I don't get why people get so sour about NFTs. If you don't like them, then don't participate - just like the thousands of other things people do for fun or profit that you don't participate in.

because you can shove me in an MRI and see that my brain does stuff even when I'm not answering API requests.

People need to stop confusing machines doing useful work with consciousness. You're conscious not because you answer questions or because of the content or origin of your answer, you are conscious because there is an 'I', a self, that experiences that process. Lambda literally is a web server that fetches data from a funny database called a neural net, when it isn't doing that, it's not doing anything. It has as much neurological activity as a rock.

Consciousness or sentience is not a measure of intellect or of capacity to answer questions, it's a measure of perception and awareness. If it wasn't, Eliza the handprogrammed if/then chatbot from the 60s would be more conscious than a cat, which I doubt is the case.
Have to agree here. I own a Tesla and would certainly not expect the state to provide free charging.
Sure, if you want to build and maintain your own parking lot on your taxed land that is cool. Street parking should endeavor to be at least cost-neutral though, and free just means that taxpayers are subsidizing it.
Again things vary from state to state, but in CA, I couldn't give my foster children Tylenol without a doctor's orders, and all psychotropic medication was due to referrals by county appointed psychologists.

Also, being prescribed medication does not change the payment. There is an additional payment for children with certain specific diagnoses, but that is only loosely related to medication; a child with a generalized anxiety disorder, for example, would not qualify for extra payments, but might be prescribed anti-anxiety medication.

Also, w.r.t. the one-in-three statistic, the most common side effect of prenatal exposure to methamphetamine is ADHD, and if you send an elementary-school aged boy with ADHD symptoms to public school, you are likely to have medication recommended.

> The statistics on child abuse in foster care are alarming as well.

I'm not going to say there aren't abusive foster parents (because obviously there are), but it is probably hard to measure the level of abuse. I lost count of the number of (unsubstantiated) allegations made against me, and I can assure you I didn't abuse any of my children (foster or otherwise).
>The Democrats want to increase spending (services) and the Republicans want to increase control.

I don't think this really captures it at all. At this point the median Democratic and Republican seems to want low grade autocracy to enforce their vision of what is right on everybody. (I chose the word median carefully, not everyone believes this way, but it also isn't an extremest view, something like what somebody right in the middle of the party acts like)
