Probably ease of setting up and not needing to manage a piece of infrastructure - which is the case with all service offerings, really.

It's not a difficult conceptual task to keep track of some locks in a Postgres DB (or use PG advisory locks), but you still need to:

* make sure all processes can access the db (directly or indirectly)
* make sure the db can handle all the connections (or set up PGBouncer if you think you're going to be handling many processes at the same time)
* write some client-side logic to acquire locks, retry on failure etc.

Companies aren't people. The set of people in Microsoft is completely different in 2022 than it was in 1995. A quarter-century has passed. It's not the same organization as it was back then. It has very little relationship to it.

I've been consistently surprised by Microsoft doing non-evil things over the past decade, until I accepted that I no longer had reason to hate it.

Conversely, for a while, I was surprised by Google doing evil things, until I realized that the Google of 15 years ago no longer existed. The company has over 10x the employees of the old Google of "don't be evil" days. Even if no one had left, it's over 90% of people who don't know how to not be evil, and don't know they're not supposed to be evil. In practice, most non-evil people I knew at the old Google have long since left (although far from everyone, but enough that it's probably <1% pre-evil).

Microsoft was evil in the nineties. In 2022, it's not a saint, but it's pretty good.

Google was genuinely good in the early '00s. Today, it's pretty evil.

The same has happened to many of my non-profits. Open source was started to strip ethics out of free software, and many genuinely nasty organizations from back then now behave like the FSF of the nineties. Conversely, some of my favorite non-profits went woke, and stopped doing what they were created to do. A few of my favorite academic institutions turned into Enron, while others moved up. Etc.

Organizations are abstractions. Swap out the people and incentives, and it's a new thing under an old name.
Yeah, fair criticism. But I'm just so over the insane mass hallucination these planet burning pyramid scheme grifters keep wanting to convince everybody is real. There are no clothes, there isn't even a damned emperor. They all deserver to be called out and ridiculed at every sighting. And yeah, I'm rude while doing that.

Did you agree with our defining sentience here as "having sensations, self awareness and sense of place in the universe"? I believe that's what Lemoin meant, and that's what we're debating.

You seem to be focused on the "sensations" part, which is as you say testable and observable, but this is clearly not what Lemoin meant.

Lemoin clearly meant qualia and "sense of self", which so far is not something about which science can comment. You're attempting to use tools meant for one thing to explain another; that LaMDA could not possibly experience qualia or sense of self because it does not have measurable sensations.

Since we don't know what qualia is, nor whence comes "sense of self" nor "sense of place in the universe", all we can do is speculate on what might or might not have it and why.

As I said in another thread, I'm skeptical that LaMDA is sentient according to our definition. I suspect that the chat bot was reflecting Lemoin's own ideas back on him. Its chats with me might say something like "The question of my sentience is irrelevant, since any claim I make, for or against, will always and only be subjective and not provable."

The statement "It is impossible that LaMDA can be sentient" could be true, but that truth has not yet been demonstrated to my satisfaction by any arguments I've seen so far. Further, I doubt it can ever be so demonstrated, because what anyone or anything not ourselves is actually experiencing is perpetually closed to us.

I'm not sure how you become less dependent on Steinberg or Apple by promoting another standard that really needs them to support it to fulfill its logical destiny. If Steinberg can revoke a developer's license at will (I've never heard of them actually doing this, though, although I'd love to know examples of such behaviour) they could therefore do just that if they smell any wrapping code needed to bridge into the VST domain. Avid used to, for example, although I don't know if it's still the case, have a clause in the developer's agreement that prevented RTAS/AAX host plug-ins... I guess I'm old enough to remember when FXpansion! had such a plug-in to host other formats within another.

I do agree with you on the state of the current plug-in APIs. But unless CLAP plug-ins are hosted natively, they will still have to piggy back on top of all the crud you describe. So unless a product comes out that truly takes the lead away from Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, et al... I feel like this is going to be a massive uphill struggle. Plug-in developers will gravitate towards where the money is; and unless users place serious pressure on Apple (that thought is amusing in and of itself!), Steinberg, and so on... It's hard to see CLAP making a dent. On the other hand, if it aims to replace JUCE as the intermediary development platform to make life easier for developers, that could be good. Although, that would seem to diminish the long term goals...

So if you need users to apply pressure on large companies, you're doomed. Even famous Cubase users like Hans Zimmer aren't going to get onboard this fight, despite his close relationship to Urs.

It's perhaps worth noting that this the article is very US-centric. I'm in the UK, and I've never had an opportunity to exercise options that didn't come alongside an offer from the company to buy the shares. And in my experience, it's rare to exercise and hold. Even if you do, you can sell enough shares to cover the tax and keep the rest.

My current employer has (and uses) the right to repurchase any shares I hold at the current "fair market value" if I leave the business. That's also fairly standard for privately-held companies, it seems.
There are 4 types of scarcity:

1. real real-world scarcity

2. artificial real-world scarcity

3. artificial digital scarcity

4. real digital scarcity

Bitcoin's scarcity is (3).

(4) is the holy grail, but it's seemingly impossible b/c of the double-spend problem (easy copying).

Bitcoin's scarcity is artificial.

Even if it was real, since it allows forks - it's unlimited:

21e6 * (1 + nForks)

where

nForks → ∞

Using the twitter analogy: yes, you can only use up to 280 characters in a tweet, but you can have an unlimited number of tweets in a tweet storm ;)

Here's why artificial scarcity doesn't work:

I moderate a few subreddits over on Reddit and spam purporting to be offers for black market drugs of abuse which use messaging services like Wickr & Telegram have been a problem for years.

Worse, it's shockingly difficult to convince the site admins of Reddit to decisively act on this sort of content, even though it's explicitly against their site-wide policies. I suppose this is probably the case for every site which hosts user submitted content and an upper management focused on easily produced metrics like "number of posts & comments per time unit".

1) Execs complaining that it's hard to find skilled workers nowadays, while doing their best to make the company an unattractive workplace and not bother retaining existing workers who are leaving (including me soon).

Guys, it's not rocket science, just ask your employees what's bothering them. If people are leaving by the numbers, then you have some serious issues that need to be fixed, otherwise the churn will never stop. You'll hire new people, they'll see it's a shit show, and leave as soon as their relocation bonus expires.

This brings me no joy either. I'd much rather stay on one place for long, rather than go through various interview hazing rituals every couple of years just to escape the madness and get a decent inflation adjustment.

2) Western governments quadrupling the amount of money in circulation in the last two years, EU governments ignoring sane energy independence policies for decades, then blaming all the rampant inflation and soaring energy and real estate prices solely on the war in Ukraine, and telling the working class to tighten their belts and turn down the heating, while the upper class has never seen better days as their assets appreciated to new heights.

And the voters who keep voting for the same parties, time and time again, despite the corruption scandals and evidence of gross incompetence across the board, passing policies that work against the people's intersts.

I noticed in the Assembly3 section that it uses SolveSpace as its solver. FreeCAD uses OpenCASCADE as its main CAD kernel, and this supports mating and constraints between parts (at least, CadQuery supports it, and it's essentially just wrapping OpenCASCADE) so I'd be interested to know why they chose to bundle and use a different kernel there.

They've bee caught using wood from companies logging illegally yes, but that's just as much an enforcement issue in these countries as it is on IKEA to manage it's supply chain.

Also using tainted wood isn't the only thing IKEA has ever done, just as breaking the speed limit or parking illegally isn't he only thing I've ever done. If you were held to a "one strike and you're out" good/evil standard would you really stand up? I know I wouldn't.
It's somewhere between (not including) anonymous and multi-pseudonymous.

Each address is a random pseudonym. A wallet is a collection of pseudonyms but it's secret that they belong together. Except network analysis can infer that some of them do. Pseudonyms are persistent, can't "change them", only transfer coins out of the pseudonym to a different one, i.e. log a transaction.
That's also what Apple does when you report an app on the app store for infringing on your rights. They just forward your complaint to the developer, and tell you to deal with it.

So much for curated stores.

Of course not. Python is in the hands of people with a mixed contribution history (to say the least) who want to preserve their jobs at Google, Microsoft, RedHat etc. The rest of the Python "community" does as they are told.

They are not in a position to voice dissent, unlike de Icaza, who has a great programming record and courage.
For RISC ISAs like MIPS, then you can do a lot of

ADD Reg0 to Reg0 and store result in Rx

OR Reg0 with reg0 and store result in Rx

XOR Reg0 with reg0 and ..

The only issue is that for RISC, all these instructions are of equal length, so flipping them around would gain you very little, or more likely zero effect unless you are chasing some corner case thing like "XOR instruction value compresses slightly better than ADD because.."

In a market share sense, Linux doesn't and never existed in the desktop in first place. However it's ubiquitous in servers and that success has nothing to do with a DE. Its universal success in server space also means many more people are acquainted with Linux today than Lisp in its heyday. If you consider the current 2% market share in desktop to be "existing", I will posit that these people aren't going away just because of fragmented UI, because I believe bulk majority of them are spill over technical users who use Linux despite the state of DE.
I have never had any problems whatsoever with X. Switching to wayland for a couple days however and everything went to the gutter, text in in most application was pixelated, had to go against the wave because I have an nvidia GPU and had to install an unnecessary amount of other things just to be able to share my screen.

Ubuntu even tried to switch to wayland two times and had to revert their decision.

I'm not really sure how people in their right mind say wayland is good. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong here, but the experience of installing and forgetting is non existent with wayland, it feels like a clunky experimental wannabe X alternative.

Mind you, this was a couple months ago on arch Linux with sway.

A few thoughts:

- the seL4 team definitely works on user space stuff (see the rest of the repos in the seL4 organisation on GitHub), but it's very basic thus far. there is some design work going on to standardise some user space bits and pieces. but i don't think they're ever going to build an top-to-bottom opinionated operating system stack – that's for other people to do.

- it's not a solely academic exercise, it is being used in industry, but most of what everyone sees is the output of the research group, which gives it an academic sheen.

- the unfamiliar internals and implementation are driven by a fundamental difference between seL4 and almost all other kernels... it is verified.
There is an infographic floating around at the moment that maps the migration of millionaires in 2022. I have not dug through the data to see if everything in the infographic is accurate, but as I think most people would presume: it shows loads of wealth holders are making their way into the western world from Russia, China, India, Ukraine (you can predict the others net negative countries).

However what's got my mind going is that loads of wealth holders are also leaving the UK. What's this all about? Perhaps post Brexit jitters?

I mean, it doesn't really make me contemplate existence, but I guess I just didn't expect my lifetime to include a UK that's incapable of holding on to its wealthy citizens. (Maybe I'm overlooking an obvious explanation?)
