1) It sounds from what you write that you agree, even if reluctantly so, because "there is no diff". For completeness sake, I want to clarify that I believe in something far stronger than your reluctant resignation: that the whole conscious/subconscious separation, the body/head/hormone separation, that these are all artificial and wrong categorizations. There is one you, the whole you, no part meaningfully separable from the other, not "diff"able, because the hormones are not some external force acting on The Real You (TM) but a physical manifestation of The One You (TM). If you manipulate body/head/hormones, you literally change The One You, to varying degrees depending on the intervention, obviously.

2) I disagree on 2 counts.

a) Thinking you'll get away with something is categorically different from knowing it. Nobody ever experiences this sort of assuredness and we cannot extrapolate our behavior under volatility to conditions of certainty. The closest we come to it are the most meaningless actions (like me reaching for a water bottle, "knowing" that I will touch it and lift it up), but no meaningfully large action, and certainly not a single one that involves other conscious beings is ever experienced as certain.

b) Humans are not fundamentally probability-modeling animals. When your bottle slips and shatters on the hiking trail, nobody - not a single human soul - runs Monte Carlo simulations on where those shards might end up and what that might mean for the future of humanity and "solves back" the right action. It is a complete category error to model human actions as such. Probability estimates have their (limited) place in (rare) human decisions, but even then it is not an exact fit.

This whole crystal-ball exercise is at best a lazy attempt by Lee, because it is easy and convenient to talk about the robo-human caricatures of his imagination.

By this logic, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs should have dedicated a sizeable portion of their treasury to researching manned flight, since they knew it was possible and they knew it would have significant economic and military advantages.

Which is to say, just because something is possible in theory doesn't mean we have a clear idea how to get there, and if we're waiting on research breakthroughs, more money is unlikely to significantly speed up the process.

If you buy a latte a day, buy a home espresso machine (Gaggia Classic is pretty optimal) and learn to make a latte instead. They are quite heavy duty, plenty capable of making high quality espresso at home, and it takes less time than waiting in line at your coffee shop. And no paper cups or lids.

In fact, here's my complete product list for your consideration and, no doubt, critique. Will say this: I'm 46, everyone in our house drinks coffee, I have tried a fairly wide variety of coffee preparation methods, and my daughter has been a barista at 3 places, including one far, far away. She helped source all this, and purchased another set of the exact same things when she went to college.

I'm not sure, I wonder if there are some back of the envelope estimates that could be done to see how small you could theoretically shrink that portion. At least when you make it small the materials cost is minimized!! Could make it out of exotic materials and it might still be cost effective. I wouldn't worry too much about safety once its small, there is minimal amount of harm caused by ultra cold or ultra high vacuum.

Good the see that the option exists for AMD, too. I guess AMD had no dominating market share when secure boot was introduced. So they would probably not be legally obliged to provide it? Hopefully market power of those requiring independence of Microsoft is big enough to keep it that way.

Thank you for your response.

Frankly... sorting the wheat from the cruft is a major task as there has been so much written on the subject. I would recommend that art be separately considered with respect to it's history (time/place), aesthetics (it's formal parameters) and process (how it was made).

On the subject of art history, I would recommend any art history book that places art in standard sequential order (i.e. 'canon'). Even a child's primer on the subject would be sufficient. A lot can be learned about art by simply placing it in sequential order. Only then can you see that art grew in response to the time/place of its manufacture. If you need a recommendation, then you could do no worse than 'The Art Book' (Phaidon).

More specifically, art produced pre- and post- 1900 needs different treatment as they are different things.

- For art produced pre 1900, the classic tome is 'The Story of Art' by Ernst Gombrich. He may be a bit sneered at nowadays, but he knew his stuff.

- For art produced post 1900 'The Shock of the New' by Robert Hughes is a great primer. Also 'Ways of Seeing' by John Berger is aimed at students and presents high-brow ideas in a very digestible manner.

On the subject of aesthetics, I would recommend 'Toward a Psychology of Art' by Rudolph Arnheim. He may now be considered rather old fashioned but he is one of the few thinkers on art who effectively addressed its formal attributes. He also drew, which is a plus. In the same vein there is Ruskin (Modern Painters) who really understood how an artist thinks, and was no slouch as an artist (draftsman) himself.

On color in art I would recommend Bruse MacEvoy's Handprint website. On the topic of color, he has forgotten more than most people would ever know. In my opinion, he is superior to Goethe and Johannes Itten (both art school favorites but both highly questionable). He does not always organize his thinking as well as might be hoped, but that is the nature of color: pan-dimensional and perverse. Also 'Color space and its divisions' Kuehni, R. G. (2001).

The making of art is a process, yet we only see the finished thing. This is our loss as there is much to be learned by studying this process. On the creative process much has been much written, some of it very high-brow. However, the book I would most highly recommend is rather coffee table: 'Daily Rituals: How Artists Work' by Currey, M. (2013). Nothing gives deeper insight into the mind of a creator than how they timetable their productive life.

Finally, I would recommend that art be experienced 'in situ', in front of the actual artwork. I was speaking to a student a few days ago who claimed to have seen the work of Rothko. Of course they had not, they had only seen photos of it. Nuf said.
First thing would be to figure what that special purpose could possibly be. We're not even there yet ...

Understanding existing code is a big benefit of static types as well.

I’m sure one could argue that member names should obviate the need for type annotations.

There’s also the distinct possibility that my preceding ~15 years of statically-typed software development have affected how I think about software development in some way. (wink)

But I am finding type annotations internet useful while working on a huge application that is about 2 years into adding a gradual typing system, enough so that I usually take time whenever I enter a new code area to add annotations to everything, just to understand what’s going on.

My perception is that I invest time to build understanding of the types, and then document what I’ve learned in the form of these type annotations so that future maintainers then gain a quicker understanding without having to do the initial research.

At least my non-statistically-significantly-sized team agrees.

Unfortunately I work in cryptography, and breaking our algorithms is one of the tasks that requires the least number of qubits. And that doesn't depend on having a desktop quantum computer either, but only that a single state actor anywhere has a sufficiently large quantum computer.

I'm a bit bitter that physics handed us this magical tool, and the best we managed so far is using it to invalidate decades of security research.
Totally agree. Fireworks can be wonderful. One of my fondest memories is when as a child of about 6 my father (a chemical engineer) taught my brother and me how to make gunpowder and we made fireworks. We added a bunch of other chemicals to make them burn different colours (copper sulphate for blue etc) and then set them off when it got dark. My mother was so freaked out by how dangerous it was that she made him promise never to do it again.

Yeah, people who are serious will have probably switched to / hybridized with PQC before a cryptographically relevant quantum computer is built. Unless some state agency has a secret one. So the main relevance might just be forcing everyone to switch / hybridize.

At the same time, from history it seems almost certain that, if indeed a CRQC ever gets built, a significant number of users will not have secure PQC rolled out on day 0.

>The fuss over bots makes no sense to me.

Have you been paying attention to some of the content ending up on reddit then? I've been seeing accounts in posts with no original content. They appear to index other users threads then apply some ML and post them to other similar subjects where it seems to fit. It was only when I saw one of these bots post the same content in a thread with two different user accounts that I realised this was a thing.

"But it comes from humans"

Cancer is a human cell, just coming from humans doesn't mean it can have a negative outcome if allowed to spread. Reddit is a business with costs. The business model assumes that at least some percentage of content pulled will drive ad revenue that allows the business to run servers. You can keep increasing the portion of bots to humans to the point that the business model is not sustainable. Letting "Dead Internet Theory" run wild is a great way to go out of business quickly.
