How exactly would human cloning affect world population to any significant level? You still need someone to be pregnant for about nine months to give birth to a clone, why does it matter if they give birth to a clone or a normal child?

Or do you mean human "printing", some machine that can carry a pregnancy instead of a human doing it? I don't think there is even a glimmer of such technology on the horizon. Then again, you seem to also think that there is some imaginable chance that we'll discover interstellar travel in the next 75 years, so maybe that doesn't stop you?

Bad? Depends what version of windows you are running..
eg enterprise 11 (or even better 10 LTSC) with custom group policies + uninstall the apps you don't need, there are no ads.

btw I am on linux now, mainly because I can't tolerate the 'white-flash' bug of the chrome browser on windows (windows on 'dark contrast' mode) otherwise I would stay on 10 LTSC, linux has issues as well, eg there are times right click does not work on chrome after suspend/resume, or firefox's tooltips annoyingly pop over windows that are over firefox, or crap like you can't drag drop opened archives into gnome's file manager or the 'save as' from chrome is out of focus, seriously, I think both linux/windowze nowadays are problematic one way or other, if you ask me, probably devs rushing to deliver something for the 'show' not focusing on functionality.
I started a job in startup, c++ and qt.

Again, I'm being asked to just read and execute the code step by step to understand it.

Important parts are uncommented, I don't think there are tests.

Talked about good coding practices on my one month review to make it easier for new employees and the future of the software.

I get that reading the code is what developers should do, but why not help others and make it easier? Even I add comments so that future me can remember how it works.

I remember emitting the idea of building a tool to calculate an opinionated code quality score on irc, I got mocked. If your codebase is low quality either hire people to refactor it or rewrite it.

Bad codebase don't deserve developers in my view.

My thoughts as well. It would take a strong and perpetual trend of people raised by breeders abandoning their parent's ways, over and over again each generation, for a plateau to remain a plateau. Humanity has always solved overpopulation through violence and I just hope that our attempt at breaking that cycle won't collapse during my lifespan.

It gets into "playing god" territory without many justifiable reasons to do it. Who is responsible for a child born as a clone? What is the purpose of cloning them instead of encouraging people to have children the normal way?

Things like artificial wombs would be getting into similar territory, but unlike cloning they have justified ethical medical uses such as enabling women who can't carry a child in their own womb for any reason to still have a child.
The "start from scratch" (or as we used to call it, 'nuke from orbit') approach is the only feasible one.

It's for DJs. Daft Punk is House music, and powerful drums are an defining part of the whole genre...which is also heavily based on sampling and remixing. A live DJ can easily pair this with another song, or their own percussion/instrumental tracks, since it doesn't have any to clash with them.

Stem files are a common way to do this nowadays, but the original roots of the House genre were people sampling disco a capellas onto sampling keyboards and playing them with their own music, using TR-909 drums, keyboards like the notorious Korg M1, etc.

Perhaps.

But proving it to anyone else at all is a hell of a leap in difficulty from there.
> Patents on standards is largely how standards are financed, by company who will then recoup their research spent on that via those patents.

Thankfully those companies have a sense of fair play, and wouldn't dream of charging more than they spent on research, or of using patented standard to stifle competition for anyone not in their industry group.

It depends a bit on what the clone is made for.

If someone just wants a child identical to some other human for esthetic reasons, the ethics seem mostly ok. The biggest ethical concern here would be obtaining true consent from the person being cloned, probably.

But the typical interests in creating a clone are related to exploitation of the clone without regard to their own desires. Simple organ harvesting is a popular reason to desire a clone. More indirect forms of exploitation are also thought about, like a company creating a clone of, say, Elvis Presley to sell his image, or someone creating a clone of a dead/aging lover as an ultimate form of child grooming.
Thanks! Yeah, it's subjective, but I thought the chances of someone making the same progression (LMMS to ???) on HN were pretty high. Of course, I left out tons of context that might have helped (e.g. some people want to make music live--I do not).

Really, it might make the most sense to just find music similar to what I've made (or want to make), and then ask/research what they're using. Edit: I think that's how I originally found FL Studio and Reaper, come to think of it!
Your classification of situations by 'vast number' is wrong. Most erasures are to hide guilt.
My favorite Ed Ruscha piece: https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.119255.html
You are confusing accurate automation with intelligence. And I suspect you haven't thought too deeply about consciousness. Intelligence and consciousness are not the same, chicken have consciousness and dream.

The classic childish confusion of how vs what is also something to be wary of.

Imagine a program in a computer figuring out it is made out of instructions and bits and bytes, that's how its world works but what exactly is that program? Information? A bunch of complex logic gates? An encoding of logic according to the conscious intent of the programmer? Are programs really at the end of the day a representation of human intent?

Much in the same way, this complex piece of software that we are and our limited awareness of our world such as understanding quantum mechanics (like the program understanding bits and instructions) is just describing how things are not what we, the consciousness (not the one ones) ultimately are.

I suspect a lot of the quantum weirdness might be humans looking at the equivalent of "transistor current" , at such a low level that meaning is obscured where at a higher level things just work in bits represented by low/high volage (digital), without minding specific voltage sampling (analog). Just my unfounded speculation though.
I’ve recently had the revelation that belief in evolution seems to be negatively correlated with one’s replacement rate. Let that sink in.
Keeping a populace dumb and uneducated works pretty well.

Seems obvious. If you go from 10% of your population being elderly to 50% - you either need to spend a ton more or quality is going down.

> If going to sleep, these images get more vivid and might classify for something called hypnagogic hallucinations

Try your meditation routine while sitting in a warm shower with a visual focus. That for me gives me the same intensity as the true hypnagogic level visualizations while still having close to full mental faculties.

Some people report being able to use audio patterns as an alternative to visual patterns. I've had mixed success personally but ymmv.

I’m not sure about this specific contract, but historically speaking, Adacore has sold support contracts, and even if you stop paying, you’re still allowed to use the compiler versions you’ve paid for. Furthermore, since these compilers are all based on upstream, and all Adacore work eventually ends up upstream, there’s essentially no risk you’re going to be left stranded.
very astute and interesting point about memory. It occurs that memory is a fundamental component of the consciousness we all know and love. There would be no ability to even register "blue" without memory, there would just be moments in time where there was stimulus, each packet of info having no bearing on the last, and thus completely new and novel
> Then nothing prevents silicon from eventually also being 'conscious'.

I would agree except "nothing we know" because we still don't know how consciousness works.
I have seen lines of code projected vividly like this.

Several years ago a Facebook recruiter invited me to interview with them. It mostly went well, except I bombed the leetcode algorithm quiz.

The next day, as I expected, they sent me a polite note thanking me for interviewing but they would be moving on with other candidates.

The morning after that, I woke up and before I opened my eyes I saw the complete solution on the back of my eyelids, about 20 lines of code.

I stepped through the code mentally and thought, "Yes! This will work!"

So I ran to my computer and typed the code in to test it. Other than one bug - this was old-school JavaScript and I'd forgotten one var statement, so there was an inadvertent global - it worked perfectly.
Why do you think that collecting evidence from experiments leads to truth though? What about the process gives you certainty?

What evidence is important to making progress and what evidence is irrelevant?

What does progress in understanding an area look like? Why should we undertake it?

These are questions of philosophy, no experiments can answer them.

When I was trying to figure out something on GarageBand I ended up on YouTube looking for tutorials and was astounded to see what people are doing with GarageBand on their phone. They play the DAW itself like an instrument and build songs in realtime. It was very humbling to see.
But what is the alternative? You've said it yourself that religion plays a lesser role in people's lives, so people apparently don't feel they should optimize for a better hypothetical afterlife.

What remains are two options:

1. Optimize for the future/betterment of humanity

2. Optimize for your own happiness

Option 1 feels a bit like optimizing for something that will always be our of reach for me personally. It's almost like a reverse pyramid game where I'm doing something that only people who will live after me will benefit from. Except they won't really, as they'll be optimizing for yet farther into the future.

I'm perfectly happy optimizing to keep the planet a great place to live, but as half of a consciously childless couple I don't feel particularly inclined to make sure that there are actually descendants to enjoy this planet. I'm okay if other species inherit the earth

How can you conceive of bosons or gravity without consciousness? How can you possibly prove objective reality through the filter of subjective consciousness?
If you think quality is real then you probably saw the dharma body's reflection already. It is as real as all the ghosts we perceive with our consciousness mind knife. Gravity, light, music... are they real? Why? Because they affect the world we perceive in meaningful ways? Then why is Santa not real when it manifests itself in the holiday every year? If the idea of the spaghetti monster makes you fast every fortnight it has a real impact on you, the same way that believing earth was the center of the universe influenced the people around Galileo at the time until he proved it was a meaningless ghost.
"French tries really hard to embed everything required for pronunciation in the spelling, but because of dialects and phonetic drift that leads to some pronunciations having multiple viable spellings."

Agreed, but this often leaves native English speakers perplexed for want of understanding. For example, an English speaker would likely contend that there's little or no difference in the pronunciation of Bordeaux and, say, 'Bordo'.

Said speaker would also contend that the four-letter eaux is overkill for what could be satisfactorily replaced with just a single 'o'.

Who's name is on the patent lawsuit doesn't need to be related to who's funding the patent lawsuit.

There's a memoir Dully co-authored and published not too long after this article. There was also another article where, if memory serves me right, where he spoke about what it felt shortly after the lobotomy. Although I might be misremembering and it could also be another patient's account. Regardless, it is horrific.

Another atrocity is the reason a Freeman colluded with a controlling and abusive step-mother to lobotomize her son.

> According to Freeman's notes, Lou Dully said she feared her stepson, whom she described as defiant and savage looking. "He doesn't react either to love or to punishment," the notes say of Howard Dully. "He objects to going to bed but then sleeps well. He does a good deal of daydreaming and when asked about it he says 'I don't know.' He turns the room's lights on when there is broad sunlight outside."

As someone who has worked in pharma, this article is pretty damn ignorant. There’s a ton of funding for pharmacokinetics work. For liver and the gut, it is widely agreed that 2-D tissue culture is completely non-predictive, so the last couple of decades have been building 3-D tissue culture and nowadays, companies commercially purchase organs on a chip for both and even multi-organ systems[0]. Plenty of companies have internal teams that have built similar technology and they all have teams working hard trying to build computational models on the generated data. But small changes in molecules have huge ADMET impacts and these organs are just a subset of the organs that can impact pharmacokinetics. Plus, toxicology can tank a drug by impacts on nearly any organ, so whole animal models always still win.

The entire article just yells ignorance of what drug companies work on and what they’re investing in.

Why do you think a cat would be comparable to an SSRI?

Or do you mean "effective treatment for depression" when you say SSRI (which would be a very questionable equation in my view at least)?

The problem with that approach is a simple $500k payment does not result in a productive adult. It takes years and years of hard work and sacrifice to end up with the type of adults you want.

I'm up to like a whole two minutes now. I'm done after this, but here's some more pretty direct quotes:

"French KFOR troops refused to come to the assistance of the Serb residents of Svinjare, even though their main base is located just a few hundred meters from that village. The entire village of Svinjare—all 137 homes—were burned to the ground within viewing distance of the main French KFOR base."

"In the large town of Kosovo Polje, only a few UNMIK police and no KFOR personnel came to the assistance of the besieged Serbs, leaving a handful of local KPS officers to protect more than one hundred Serb families scattered around the city. One Serb was beaten to death, and at least one hundred Serb homes were burned, as was the main post office, the Serbian school, and the Serbian hospital."

It goes on and on and on. For anyone who knows much about the region, this is pretty close to "common knowledge". But you won't hear much about it in the Western Media - which circles back up to my original point that "Maybe the Western media has been telling us the easy/policy-confirming story instead of the real but messy one".
