> Saying rocks are conscious is a poor summary

> The whole thing is a continuum and everything is made of matter, so there's a little bit of potential consciousness in all matter

I disagree that my summary is "poor"–because some panpsychists do say that rocks are actually conscious individuals, as opposed to merely containing "a little bit of potential consciousness". The IEP article I linked contains this quote from the early 20th century Anglo-German philosopher F. C. S. Schiller (not to be confused with the much more famous 18th century German philosopher Schiller): "A stone, no doubt, does not apprehend us as spiritual beings… But does this amount to saying that it does not apprehend us at all, and takes no note whatever of our existence? Not at all; it is aware of us and affected by us on the plane on which its own existence is passed… It faithfully exercises all the physical functions, and influences us by so doing. It gravitates and resists pressure, and obstructs…vibrations, and so forth, and makes itself respected as such a body. And it treats us as if of a like nature with itself, on the level of its understanding…"

Of course, panpsychism has never been a single theory, it is a family of related theories, and so not every panpsychist would agree with that quote from Schiller–but I don't believe his view on rocks is unique to him either.

> If Walmart is going to put a product on its shelf[...]

Because if walmart marks it up too high I can get the same thing from target or the local shop or from amazon or from tons of other places. So they are under competitive pressure to keep their markup low enough they don't chase customers away.

> Why is Apple not allowed to do the same for their “virtual shelf” (aka App Store)?

It is enraging because there is no competitive pressure on them. If the fees are too high, unlike with walmart, what are you going to do? There's nothing you can do. If walmart starts charging $100 for a bar of soap I can get for $1 at target, I'm going to target. If apple raises their cut to 200%, there's nothing you can do.

> Who decides what’s fair?

Ideally, a competitive free market. But apple does not allow that.

This reminds me of two (that I'm aware of, there may be more) street names in Munich that appear to be named after places but are actually named after people named after places: Passauerstraße (named after the leader of a peasant uprising rather than the city Passau) and Dessauerstraße (named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_I,_Prince_of_Anhalt-De... rather than the city Dessau) - the only clue being that streets named after places, e.g. Aachener Straße, are written with a space in the name (or rather should be, but lots of people already get this rule wrong), while streets named after people are written as one word or with dashes. Needless to say, the likelihood of these street names being spelled wrong is even higher, including in a very prominent (and expensive to fix) place: an illuminated street sign in a tunnel https://www.merkur.de/lokales/muenchen/sendling-westpark-ort... - it's hard to see in the photo, but the letters are made of individual LEDs, so correcting the mistake would basically require building a new sign.

RFC 6838 is clear about the `text` top-level type [1]:

> The "text" top-level type is intended for sending material that is principally textual in form. [...] Beyond plain text, there are many formats for representing what might be known as "rich text". An interesting characteristic of many such representations is that they are to some extent readable even without the software that interprets them. It is useful to distinguish them, at the highest level, from such unreadable data as images, audio, or text represented in an unreadable form.

In comparison, if `text/*` should be used for any format that encodes something in a text format as Crockford wanted, then you can put every file format into `text/*` with base64 encoding in principle. Limiting `text/*` to the data that is textual in nature avoids this issue by setting a reasonable expectation [2]. It is even possible to register `text/vnd.foobar+json` if you want, because a structured syntax suffix `+json` doesn't affect the top-level type. But JSON in general doesn't guarantee any textual data even after processing.

[1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6838#section-4.2.1

[2] Therefore `text/rtf` is possible when it doesn't embed any additional object, otherwise `application/rtf` should be used. It is debatable whether a source code is a text or not however, especially when it can be executed in place. The transition from `application/javascript` to `text/javascript` [3] is one example.

BYD’s success is in no small part due to substantial government subsidies.

We’re not talking about relatively small tax or CO2 incentives, but rather large upfront interest free loans with questionable expectations of repayment.

This meant that BYD could leapfrog the growth stage and invest directly into new large automated factories before even having found market fit.

I expect they’ll do well in smaller countries, but larger western countries with existing domestic car makers will impose large tarrifs to neutralise their unfair advantage.

For a very simple reason: developers don't want to support multiple backends for their app, and end users don't want to install two different windowing systems to support different apps that made different choices.

The situation on Linux is already pretty bad w.r.t. having to install multiple big frameworks, with some apps assuming Gnome and others KDE. Imagine GTK chose to move to Wayland, but Qt chose to stick to X - you would probably end up with 4 different combos on many systems to support all expectations.

I doubt the main commenter, meant it that way, why is there any need to bash them ?

It’s a political issue, well criticised and commented on, that governments intentionally game metrics like inflation, etc to look good on paper for incumbent presidents and heads of state.

Also, the inflation rate is a very inconsistent number, different regions of the US has different rent price increases, different cost of labour increases, different product prices for a lot of goods. How can the nation be entirely ruled by one common inflation rate.

All statistics like this which have to target so many regions, environments, and scenarios, always have to make decisions, that sacrifice some scenario or the other, where the “score” is a very poor indicator

This applies not just to inflation, but other metrics like gdp per capita, employment rate, etc.

There is no need for that condescending tone, especially when the author is talking about their increased cost of living, which prolly hurt their purchasing power.
> I guess an obvious objection is "why?"

Because coming up with criteria for determining what is and isn't conscious, and justifying the particular criterion you choose (as opposed to all the alternatives) is hard. Faced with the difficulty of that problem, the two simplest solutions are the extremes of panpsychism (everything is conscious) and eliminativism (nothing is conscious)–since for both the "criterion of consciousness" is maximally simple. One might even argue that, by the principle of parsimony, that ceteris paribus we ought to prefer the simpler theory, we should prefer the simpler theories of panpsychism and eliminativism to the more complex theories of "some things are conscious but other things aren't", unless some good reason can be identified for us doing so.

> in some physics-defying way that we can't yet comprehend

How is panpsychism "physics-defying"? Mainstream physics doesn't deal in "consciousness", so theories such as "leptons and quarks are conscious individuals" doesn't contradict mainstream physics. Well, it quite possibly would contradict the von Neumann-Wigner interpretation of QM, but I don't think many would consider that "mainstream"

I'm very sorry to hear this. Switching from C# to most things is painful, because of an uncloseable rift with its tooling, features and standard library. In particular with Ruby, that HN insists on loving to its own detriment, which is by far one of the worst offenders - it is slow, brittle and stuck in the past, just like you described.

Some developers will claim "it's a preference" or mistakenly assume it can be compared side by side with other back-end stack. This just stems from critical gap in required software engineering knowledge - Ruby does not and cannot compete with other stacks. I tend to be critical of Go, but I would pick it every time over Ruby if the circumstances would not let me use something better.

(seriously, friends don't let friends deploy new projects in Ruby, use C# or Kotlin or any other compiled language that strikes your fancy)
These tools are simply not useful. I have been saying this right from the beginning.
You are actually making the case that ADHD doesn't exist or is pretty meaningless.

There is no scientific basis for it, it was a bunch of criteria that were arbitrarily chosen to create a term called "ADHD" so that they can prescribe meds.

You just have to ask the question as to why we can't give meds to everyone when 25% of college students report using them. Why can't we give meds to someone addicted to social media as a fix?

Everything is premised on it being a neurodevelopmental brain defect from birth...so that meds can be effective. But there is no basis for this.

You might as well just give anyone who doesn't get good marks at school or doesn't perform at work meds. In fact people want to do this.

There are rarely 1 conventional reactors on a site, although there are a few examples to the contrary. The largest sites have 6-8 reactors. Typically there are 2-4, which facilitates load management during outages.

The good news from the security prospective is that SMRs will likely be similarly concentrated, just with greater numbers of reactors. They are highly unlikely to be sprinkled about willy nilly, despite the thinking of some. Siting is a major problem with all power generation and particularly with nuclear: getting a site approved is a major accomplishment involving no end of costly wheeling and dealing over many years.

Although there are use cases, often championed as killer applications for SMR, such as very remote, undeveloped locations, I expect that for every 1 such isolated reactor actually deployed, 100 will be lined up in rows and columns at major reactor sites.

"Most of the criticism, even in these comments seems to boil down to not liking the guy because he's smart or because his big ideas are incomprehensible"

No, most of the criticism comes from the fact, that he has a super high ego, thinking he is always the smartest person in the room, making him treat others badly. See the comments from people working for him. And his big ideas - well, he claims he found the holy grail of physics, the theory of everything. And he wrote a bestseller for the masses. But actual physicists are not convinced because his model is simply worse at predicting data of experiments, than other models (which do not claim to be theories of everything). And he reacts poorly to this criticism.

So yes, he is smart and a interesting character. But maybe not one who solved the theory of everything. Because if he really would have - then the results would speak for itself. So I am not ruling out that his approach can one day lead towards it (not my area of expertize) - but apparently he is not there, but claims he is.

Yeah, that is why in my code i don't bother with Wayland and just stick with X11 :-P (though things largely work on Wayland via XWayland, aside from a few things like some code i wrote that resets the mouse cursor position manually to allow for scrolling/panning/rotating without being limited by where the cursor is - well, under Wayland this limitation will exist, but it is a minor one).
Yeah, I'm wondering about that as well. Did this exact design take 12 months previously? Or did a 30ft-wide BWR vessel take 12 months? That would be a pretty significant difference.

I did a small amount of nuclear-grade welding myself and it was always one hour of welding, one or more days of testing. So if they could replace many small passes with one all-the-way-through pass, that would vastly decrease production time. But even then, testing a weld that spans the length or circumference of a vessel is still going to take a very long time. Since they don't mention any massive, profound, fundamental improvements in post-weld testing methods, I'm guessing they just left that out of their "24hr" claim, which makes it very misleading.
It started as part of the modern.ie project, which would distribute Windows VMs to the primarily Mac using web developers at the time so they could test against Internet Explorer, countering the trend of just telling people to switch to Chrome if they complained about broken functionality.
