That is the erroneous conclusion. "Qualia", whatever they are, fits squarely into physicalism and there exists literally no evidence that anything more is required. The paper I linked is proof that qualia can be accounted for within science as it exists. Again, you're asserting a god of the gaps.

People report perceiving phenomenal experience in the same way that they report seeing water breaking pencils: https://scienceathomekids.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG...

That doesn't mean that water actually breaks pencils. The meaning of any observation is always interpreted within a consistent body of knowledge. The problem is that people really want to take the perception of their experience as a direct observation of reality that doesn't need to go through that interpretation step, and that's simply incorrect.

> If your dyson spheres were optimized enough, could absorb all known spectrums and recycle them.

A really cool outcome of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics is that what you suggest is impossible. The dyson sphere can be as amazing as you want, using every single trickery permitted by physics, but at some point it will enter thermal equilibrium with its host start (or pipe that heat somewhere else where you would still be able to see its thermal radiation). Inherently, if they are optimized to be good absorbers, they will have to also be thermal emitters. There is no such thing as "recycle all spectrum".

Tangentially related to the fact that a "perfectly black body", i.e. a perfect absorber, is also the perfect emitter of thermal radiation of its own.
> People can be wrong about factual things, which can be verified. Otherwise it’s a difference of opinions.

This attitude is exactly what [neurotypical] people generally mean when they say "[some] autistic people can't acknowledge when they're wrong".

Not that autistic people are so convinced of their own rightness that they stare at the compiler saying "my code is flawless, the compiler must be bugged" because there is literally no circumstance in which they will ever update their worldview. But that when it comes to cases where [multiple] people suggest that the question they asked or the tone they asked it in might have been suboptimal for the situation, they are likely to rationalise it as just unverifiable opinion or status games which can't be learned from (but nevertheless, the difference of opinion probably results from misreading by the other party)

> The root of our issues in the US is the selling out the lower classes’s potential by the government and industry to offshoring, thus reducing their economic power.

I don't think this argument holds. The US was the theatre or major class struggle long before the neoliberal offshoring waves. Popular riots and massacres by the local authorities is nothing new, see for example the battle of Blair Mountain in 1921: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain

More to the point, the GDP/capita in the USA has kept growing over the years despite offshoring. The fact that some parts of the population struggle to feed themselves is due to conscious wealth-capturing schemes from the rich and government-friendly corporations. Or as Warren Buffet once put it, "Actually, there’s been class warfare going on for the last 20 years, and my class has won".

When the people realize how duped they've been with empty promises and scapegoats, they are bound to loose their shit and be at someone's throat.

I think I see what you're saying now. I guess time will tell, but I don't think the alternative you pose will get rid of the so-called "mine field." So I still stand by what I said: complaining about too many panics is like complaining about too many bugs. I think a different complaint, i.e., "Rust doesn't give enough visibility and control with respect to panics," is a different story entirely and is valid. (Although I don't particularly suffer from its absence.) With that said, it would be cool to have the level of control you're talking about, but it's not clear to me the extra language complexity required for it is worth it. But hard to say at just a conceptual level.

Kinda nitpicky. Sure ADTs are a pattern in Typescript rather than a first-class entity, but they're an extremely well-supported pattern, exhaustiveness checking and all.

type ADT =
| { case : 'a', a : Number }
| { case : 'b', b : string }

function f (c : ADT) {
switch(c.case) {
case 'a' : return c.a
case 'b' : return Number.parseInt(c.b)

// case 'c' : return 0 // compile error

// case 'b' : return c.a // also compile error
}
}
Yes, they should have just elevated the Do Not Track flag to legal status. If the flag is on, tracking cookies forbidden. Easy. It would have solved the cookie banner problem entirely.

> Your brain compresses (normalises?) repetition in memories

No.. I think this phenomena is related to the fact that our brain is indeed a prediction machine. When a prediction is wrong (i.e we encounter something surprising/unexpected), our brain updates it's prediction based on reality (exactly like training a "predict next word" language/sequence model like GPT-3).

As we get older, with more and more life experience, we don't get surprised so often (been there, done that - know how it's going to turn out), so our brain makes less and less prediction mistakes and therefore prediction-failure memory updates.

Of course we have multiple types of memory - short term vs long term, etc, so these prediction-failure updates are only part of the picture, but I think this is still the core reason why "the years fly by" when you're just doing more of the same. If you want to lay down more memories then novelty should help, but it's really surprise you'd want to maximize... no good being novel if you can already anticipate/predict how it's going to go.
To those criticizing the title, how would you improve it? Dependencies do the heavy lifting , but that's true even for a hello-world. It seems obvious enough that I wouldn't see a reason to clarify.

The issue with banning speech for being "offensive" or "hateful" is that the definitions of those things and especially who can break the law without being prosecuted for it are largely determined by what is politically convenient. One government might decide that calling for a boycott of Israel is hate speech, while another might decide that calling for an end to refugee acceptance is hate speech. I prefer that myself and my ideological opponents are allowed to speak freely without concern for who's in power at the moment or what group is the current societal scapegoat. If you don't believe in freedom of speech for people you despise you don't believe in it at all.

This is a great idea. I'm already a big fan and user of Pluto for detecting API changes during upgrades. I see this requires something you call a "bundle spec". Are there plans to make GoNoGo a bit more "magic" like Pluto's `detect-helm` subcommand? That would be ideal, i.e. just point it at your Kubernetes context and it tells you if it's safe to upgrade addons.

The author has not even attempted to paraphrase or summarize the manager's response, so this is also guess-work on your part.

Conversely, if I ask a colleague, however smart, a question but their response is "first I need a 10min infodump on things many of which I should already be aware of", I'm just going to say "nevermind then, thanks" and go ask the colleague who can communicate in a more focused and proactive way. (It's not a very charitable reading of the author's position either. I'd prefer to believe both were acting in good faith but with completely misaligned goals.)

I don't hate nosql. I nothing it. I do not have any knowledge or skillset that includes it. I am most definitely naive towards any strengths and capabilities it may have over an SQL database.

I also have no reason to learn it at this time, an SQL database wins uncontested whenever I need to store data.

If I was to start a new project I wouldn't pick that moment to learn a new programming language. Same thing, different part of the stack

Honestly what it'd take would be the next WordPress or whatever using nosql by default. Make it need learning

The Fed's inflation target is 2%.
It's a different world view I think. In Europe with our more socialist history, we view government regulations mainly as a protection of civil rights. Whereas in the US it seems to be viewed more as a kerbing of freedom.

He has a particularly weak reebuttal of Ranked Voting:

> Moreover, it is not guaranteed to facilitate viable third parties; this has not happened in Australia, for example, where it is the rule.

Australia has a Conservative colalition of two parties, Liberal and National with similar but unaligned goals, and a nominally Left (for some value of Left but not Copmmunist and not the trade union party it once was) Party in Labor.

That's three majors.

Australia also has (largely thanks to RC) a number of independants and small parties that also have a voice both the upper and lower houses (of the various States, and in the Federal Government).

The need to negotiate with small players to build numbers to pass desired policy is a major factor in avoiding the kind of extreme polarisation seen within the central north american region.
I didn’t write that I agreed with said presentation, but it was interesting, and a good take away is that if you have such a scorching hot loop that iterates over megabytes of data, a compiler may not be sufficient even in low-level languages. (Think of video codecs). And the other side, routine optimizations done on cold paths may not be as worthy (the bash line was me exaggerating the effect - but just think of any Python deployment, they are basically that, slow code calling into optimized libs in C and Fortran)

I feel like the article isn't actually directly addressing its title. It could be stronger with some situations to when you were wrong, with examples of how that was swiftly resolved, as you mentioned in the intro paragraph.

At the moment it feels like it takes for granted that you're good at resolving situations where you're objectively wrong, so it's only addressing situations where there was a difference of opinions.

I'm not implying that you're bad at the former, of course. However, it's entirely possible for people to have trouble engaging you when there's a difference of opinion and for you not to be able to acknowledge when you're objectively wrong - i.e. that all of the issues you've identified in the article are happening, but that the title quote is still actually true.

This is a technical discussion we're talking about. In technical discussions, I don't want to faff around with euphemisms, circumlocutions, or fancy pronouns. It's hard enough to be clear in technical discourse, even if you aren't carrying those burdens.

I expect people to speak directly, even if on the face of it their utterances might seem rude if spoken in a social context. If a colleague goes in with both fists and feet in a technical discussion, and wins, that doesn't mean they're no longer my friend - it just means I was wrong, and I learned something. Drawing blood in a technical discussion is just part of the life of a technician.

I'm not sure there's a transient inflation camp to go back to - the cornerstone there was the idea that inflation could correct without big impacts on capital market, real economy, or fed policy. All of those ships have sailed. The upshot is it should be possible to discuss when inflation will slow down without being a denialist.
