> It's so much easier just to select, drag and drop graphical elements instead of spending time learning a specific markup language and typing everything out

You state this like a fact. A GUI might be your personal preference but markup is preferred by many. It takes me an order of magnitude longer to learn where all the buttons are than it does to internalize markdown syntax from a few good examples. In a GUI you spend time futzing around with visual details, In a markup chart you spend time building and communicating a coherent mental model. The difference in output quality is apparent to me.

There's an analogy to programming: sure we have visual programming tools but who uses them? they break down when things get mildly complex. A markup driven charting tool lets me edit in the comfort of my chosen IDE, check it into source control to collaborate, renders live instead of checking in an image artifact, and has clearly-defined semantics (ie not just a pile of incoherent boxes and arrows). IMO, it's superior in every way except fine-grained control of the layout (which is a fine tradeoff for me - I want my readers to focus on content - consistency is more valuable than styling). If your purpose is communicating complex ideas (not making a pretty picture) markup-based charts have some distinct advantages that you just can't get from a point-and-click interface.
I vaguely remember somebody figuring out from photoshop activation IDs how many sales adobe was making and trading options around their earnings report with that information.

I don’t remember the details, so maybe it was something else and not photoshop/adobe.
Yikes. Has the metaphor really fallen that far out of favor? I guess kids don't really need to sneak into R-rated movies any more.
On re-reading your post several hours after my first response, there are a couple of things that now seem clearer to me.

The first is the question of "existing absent qualia": is this a reference to the p-zombie argument, which claims to show the metaphysical possibility of entities that are physically identical to us but which do not have qualia? I (and many others) reject this argument by rejecting the inference from conceivability to possibility, on account of it depending on a question-begging definition of conceivability.

If you do accept the zombie argument, then you are, ipso facto, accepting the metaphysical possibility of some things having qualia and other, otherwise identical things not having them - which would introduce a boundary into your panpsychic hypothesis that mirrors the one you are trying to use to reject emergent physicalism.

Secondly, you are misconstruing Occam's razor here: it is not a claim that constrains what sort of conclusion it is acceptable to argue for; it is, instead, an argument about what constitutes an acceptable set of premises. Both Occam's razor and logic in general accept that one can validly argue for a conclusion for which there is no other evidence than the evidence for your premises in conjunction with the argument you are making. To reject this would be to reject deductive and inductive reasoning!

Nevertheless, your argument does attempt to show that emergent physicalism would be predicated on a premise for which you say there is no evidence: the assumption that there are some things that are not conscious. This is mistaken, however: it simply does not take a position on that question, as its universe of discourse is limited to things with consciousness. Its conclusion almost certainly would have the corollary that many things are not conscious, but, as we have seen in the previous paragraph, there is nothing wrong in that, and an emergent-physicalist hypothesis would not be refuted even if there were no independent evidence for non-conscious entities (which is a claim that I have already disputed, in the final section of my previous reply.) To falsify the hypothesis on this basis, you would have to rule out there being anything without consciousness.
This feels a bit premature to me.

I'm not convinced that the vaccines are 100% bad but they were a novel technology and I'm not sure we're far enough along to judge them objectively yet.

Regardless of how good they are, they were definitely over-sold.
I figured there'd be a Nobel Prize for the mRNA vaccines. This is deserved and the further impacts of this are going to be felt for decades.

Some background: for many years, the flu vaccine has had what's called the "egg problem". The vaccine is cultivated in chicken eggs in a sterile environment. The US government pays billions every year to maintain these production lines. It takes about 4-5 months to go from choosing what flu strainsa are likely to be prevalent to there being a vaccine. The production line can't scale up quickly either.

Also, people who are allergic eggs can't generally take the flu vaccine. That's why they ask you.

For decades the US government has funded research to get away from this system and that resulted in the mRNA vaccine. It doesn't require chicken eggs to produce and the lead time for producing a vaccine goes to almost immediate. we saw this with Covid where the candidate vaccines were produced in days. This fed into conspiracy theories about it being unsafe because it was rushed but it was nothing more than the culmination of decades of research where fast vaccine turnaround was the entire point.

In future years we'll see mRNA vaccines turned to diseases that have thus far we've been unable to produce vaccines for.

The reality is that unless you have a specific niche. Most wont made it or will be acquired by Big Tech. It is much easier to earn money in "Bits" and then invest into "Atoms" than the other way around.

In the US, Chick-fil-A is a fast food chain that closes 100% of their locations on Sundays. And I think that's wonderful for exactly the reasons you're describing.
The Why is "Å" !== "Å" !== "Å"? section still strikes me as wrong.

I think we need to recognize that sometimes (often?) innovators are "kinda kooky" sometimes. In a different field, folks are surprised that a guy trying to send rockets to Mars is kinda kooky sometimes.
In Android/Google land, notifications have self declared categories.

But at first, the app must ask you for notification permission to send any notification in the first place.

You can then turn on/off the self declared notification categories at the Android level but apps can be dicks and either not use the categories or misuse them.
It’s not invalid because a string is a string. You didn’t invent a new type.
That was my first thought, too: "can this generate power with brackish water? Because, if so, there's a banger of a one-two shot with that previous article about desalinating water for drinking, and then hooking up the outflow to something that can generate power with it. That would be a pretty badass little home resource installation."
No argument given for why having a slower algorithm to generate random ids is more secure.

If the algorithm is too fast it means you can detect when some other part of the system is having a significant impact on how the key is returned. Eg checking a database to see if a user exists and returning their key versus getting null back and generating a new key. That difference can be used to determine if a user exists. You want your key gen process to be slow enough that it's a significant part of the process, which makes timing attacks hard.
Yep, likewise. I'm using emacsclient as $EDITOR too and it works well.
My eInk triton display from _two decades_ ago did around 10 fps. On paper kaleido has more contrast but it is barely noticeable and still crappy overall.

There has been no large improvement in eInk for years.

And I dont remember any eInk display that took 30 seconds for a refresh, except maybe the large scale (advertisement) ones.
"In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is."

There's more to designing a useful language than is found in Pierce's book. The Go design team had some very specific things they were trying to do, and they did pretty well at doing them, and they produced a language that some people have found to be useful for writing some kinds of software. I'm going to guess that they had a lot more experience at actually writing software than Pierce did. So maybe you shouldn't automatically assume that Pierce is the final word, and that anyone who decides different has to be wrong.
We somehow have more programming jobs now than ever. Those kids learning programming with LLMs may not end up writing code by hand but they will still be building stuff with computers.
That doesn't fix the info leak though, you're still leaking approximately when the account was created. Knowing whether an account was created in 2003 or 2023 is a pretty significant amount of information even if you just know that it was created some time between June 2003 and August 2003.

I mean it's certainly an improvement over telling everyone the millisecond the account was created, but if account creation times are to be considered non-public info, I would probably just not include any version of it in public facing user IDs. And if you do consider approximate account creation times to be public (such as HN, where anyone can see that my account was created July 1, 2015), then adding some fuzz to the timestamp seems to be a good way to avoid certain cryptographic issues.
At this point, anyone still "asking for information" knows full well where to find it. It's not March 2020 any more.

"Actual data from US prisons" took me about 20 seconds to find a reputable source for (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37736396), likely less time than your comment asking for it took to type.
The covid vaccines are the trendy thing to talk about with lay people, not the underlying thing the award is for.
I think that would vary from person to person to be honest.

How long? It started months ago.

That's the fundamental reason why there was such a falling out between Stack Overflow executives and the moderators.

People will say it was just the way they handled the interactions, which was part of it, but I don't believe there was any way to do it in a way that the users wouldn't hate.

Because the basic task for Stack Overflow IS to replace the users answering the questions with AI. They don't have a choice. Because now they are already competing with ChatGPT etc. doing exactly that.

It's true that taking away human answers from Stack Overflow will make it impossible for AI to answer many of those types of questions. But it will still retain fundamental knowledge and skills from other sources. And can be trained on its own debugging experiences as it gets deployed for building software. So although that presents a challenge, it's not insurmountable at all.
Is there some reason new versions of UUID keep appearing? It seems like the desired properties are never quite achieved so new ones appear later. Is there a table with UUID version across the top and characteristics down the side, so I can see the differences and pick one that fits my needs? That might also help to explain why there are so many variants.

US$10 a month is EXPENSIVE for just searching, it might make sense if it was bundled with other ‘buzzwords’ like encrypted 2TB storage, etc., in the meantime, meta search engines are the way to go for generic stuff.
Several of the replies to this comment are disappointing. They provide no evidence that they know anything about the commenter, their situation, or parenting, and yet they feel qualified to jump to the conclusion that the commenter is to blame for this situation.

Why not be more respectful? Parenting is hard. Maybe ask some polite, open-ended questions before jumping in as yet another judgmental stranger from the internet with zero skin in the game.
Yeah, what would you define as "lots of money"? Here in the midwest, I'd say that >$50k/year would be making more than my entire family combined, so it seems like all software developers do make lots of money to me.

There was a massive boom in property prices just after 1999 though, which I'd argue was far more significant to the difference you cite.

Looking at: https://www.propertyinvestmentproject.co.uk/property-statist...

The average price in Q4 1999 was £75k, the average price in Q3 2007 was £184k, the average price in Q3 2022 was £273k (the last two are the peaks), the average price in 2023 has already started to dip. So, in 8 years prices went up 145%, and in the following 15 years prices went up 48%.

I bought in the latter half of that first spike I mentioned, and anecdotally, while I was looking but still unable to afford anything (ultimately, it was only possible when my bank changed their rules and afford 4x salary rather than 3x), prices in the area I was looking rose 50% in the 6 months prior to buying my house. In the years since then, its value has only increased by a little over 50%.

Looking further back, the previous peak was in 1989 at £62k. 10 years earlier in 1979 the average price was £19k, a rise of 226%.

So, this isn't a recent phenomena, what's recent is that people are more vocal in complaining that they can't afford to get on the property ladder. My point is that it's always been tough, but if people who can't afford now keep saving then in a few years they'll find their savings and wage increases will let them catch up with the house price plateau.

I think the only difference we've seen so far is that the last plateau wasn't very flat, and after an initial drop, prices have continued to increase but slower than inflation.
Not only the taste of meat is affected:

And the nutritional value of animal products may be affected, too:

I live in South America. The lard I buy here from local peasants, who 'breed' an old pig race, has a liquid fraction, even in the fridge. This indicates to a high amount of unsaturated fatty acids. The industrial lard is completely solid at that temperature.
No, it's not what I said. Keep the car out in the country.

I wrote safe mobility options for all, so active modes of transportation are a viable alternative to the car. That applies both to the city and the country.

To make walking and biking safe, the implementation will be largely low-tech. Trees, bollards.

It's not EVs (high tech) that will trigger the transformation to curb pollution. It will be people choosing to walk and bike iso choosing to the drive.
Definitely, though not as polished or stable as the CLI spec at the moment--the CLI code all sits in one package and calls into the others. The logic to execute a run is all shown in cmd/run.go, but I agree an example might help illustrate what is possible there.
The problems you describe are what Elixir solves out of the box simply by being based on Erlang, including caching and pushing real-time data to dashboards. It’s also easy to learn coming from Python and Ruby.

Sure, for many places it doesn't really matter, but if your URLs or user ids can be seen/scraped by others, you might expose some commercially interesting information to competitors.

And the indexing argument isn't really compelling, is it? You lose very little by sticking to fully random UUIDs.
Much like how most replies that start with "So ..." are strawmen. :)

I'm more concerned that it's written in C#.
Their setup looks remarkably similar to my PhD work [0][1] (that included a PoC and simulation). We didn't do power generation, but there was significant electrical activity (nanoamps and millivolts per pore). If I remember right, even at the time there was ongoing research to use porous films to generate power from saltwater, but the ongoing issue was biofouling. Turns out it's really easy to clog a pore that is nanometer-scale.

I'm sorry it came out this way to you. I guess when we risk talking about things we don't understand we risk making a fool out of ourselves, but in any case how else can we evolve?

What I tried to convey what I understood from the ideas Donald Hoffman expressed in a couple of podcasts I listened to (currently in the process of reading his book).

All this debate is more in the realm of philosophy in my opinion, which of course doesn't exempt anyone the burden of proof and consistency, but I don't think the scientific method itself is useful here, since we are talking about fundamentals that precede the scientific method itself (for instance, the question "can apply the scientific method to everything we perceive, including our subjective experience?"). It might pass as mysticism or pseudoscience, hell even Hoffman sounds like that a lot, but I don't think I am qualified to question his insights and dismiss them as academic wankery.

Cultural Fit: Company Culture Is a Crucial Factor for Job Seekers
EltaMD has a sunblock which uses zinc oxide thats been milled to extremely fine particle which block UV light but are transparent in the visible range. They also use a super high quality carrier cream so it feels nice, like a light face moisturizer.

Zinc oxide doesn’t give that chemical feeling, doesn’t stain clothes/etc, doesn't poison the environment, and is also more effective at blocking broad spectrum UV than the oxybenzones/etc.
There is a very large difference not being able to produce clothes and not finding clothing that happens to be preserved.

Currently the guesses are 40,000 to 3 million years ago.

These people in this article are just as intelligent as modern humans.
Why? You can just use DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS + dnssec + ECH + TLSv1.3 and then you should have a unblockable website(outside of IP address bans).
You’re going to need a deeper expert to go much further than this, but it’s basically a mapping of the sensory inputs to pleasurable responses. Many of which are hard coded into the brain’s design. Like sugar.

Drugs are probably better suited to mess with these than surgeons.

I think you’re asking though if something is intrinsically pleasurable to an organism. The answer is no. But all life has generally evolved to sensibly reward useful things and discourage bad things. So most brains are designed to interpret specific inputs as pleasurable. It’s not inconceivable that with advanced technology we could design an organism that experienced pleasure from whatever sensory inputs.
I don't disagree with most of what you said but (and I might be misremembering) but the "grew way to quickly" doesn't hold up.

When I was in school I learned the number "1.3m people" and that was the early/mid 90s, now it's 1.5m. So unless you start counting a more widespread urbanization of the adjacent towns.. the math doesn't seem to work out.

I do agree that it feels a lot worse than 20 years ago.

Programming is a skill like being able to type or write. Knowing WHAT to write, and HOW to analyse what is written in a critical way to find truths has always been more important. With AI it is fundamental and should be taught in infant school.
Critical appraisal should be more important than imagination (or at least hand in hand with it).
This isn't the first AI hype cycle. In the 1980s, Japan's "Fifth Generation Project" was going to create AI software, and thereby ensure Japanese dominance of computing for the foreseeable future. That was, IIRC, Prolog-based (or at least in that style). That... didn't work out.

Before that, there was the AI hype of the 1960s. That was Lisp-based. That failed into the AI winter.

So, yeah. The dream of AI has been around long before 2002. Of course, the definition of "AI language" when the article was written probably does not match the current one...

(Or were you complaining that 2002 was too late for "I've heard that AI is the way to do things"?)
It was a bit of hyperbole. However Cisco is very often mentioned in the context of found exploits if you look for example on The Register or similar IT news and subjectively even more than any other brand.
