I would still like a backplane like this with a bunch of USB3/thunderbolt ports with lots of power available. I’m so tired of USB cables and hubs. It would be nice for our computers to be more like modular synthesizers.
I’m not sure this makes sense. Lots of phenomena — including those possessed by biological organisms — exist without there being any evolutionary imperative for their existence. For your argument to work, would you not have to demonstrate that consciousness is necessarily more like, say, animal fur than possessing mass or heat.

> no-one who cares about food ever does

That's a bit universal for what's simply your opinion.
> Your skills and experience are what get you ahead truly

In my experience are most people who get promotions and most money, the ones who talk the most bullshit and shout the loudest. Especially people who just keep talking for talking sake and use a lot of abbreviations and tech terms, thus sounding like they know everything to management while in reality suck at everything, are quite common. One of my ‘colleagues’ in a company I consult for at the moment, is the head devops, he talks so much that I think he has some undiagnosed issue; he puts kubernetes ‘words’ (control plane, sidecar, compute mesh, bla bla) into every sentence even if we are not talking about devops at all. Then when he actually needs make a docker file, he fires up chatgpt and spends hours testing and finishing it. It’s his job ffs. And he got promoted over the other guy who I barely see and who actually does the work. They are 2 guys on the devops team so neither is supposed to be managing only or anything. It’s just one current example but all the companies I visit have a bunch of these and they are often more ‘respected’ than the skill and experience people, money wise. It is a reason why I made my own company and come in as a tech consultant instead; no use for this crap in my life; if they don’t pay my yearly inflation/market corrections, I just drop them. Clients enough.
I’d argue that once those situational factors have created a criminal, it’s an irreversible process — you have someone who has been irrevocably transformed into a problem.

To reduce crime those situational factors need to be fixed before the criminal is created.

“Say you changed out fluorescents to LED light bulbs, that’s a capital improvement. You’re not replacing lightbulbs, you’re enhancing”.
That's the basis for the claim that lightbulb changes are CapEx.

This is an improvement though. A rack is usually 10-20kW @ equinix, that's well within reach for redoing larger areas of lighting. They also bill for overuse. Great, they improved the building to make more money.

The other claimed scandal on that front is that they wouldn't change one light bulb at a time, but rather turn it into a larger project and then do it. This doesn't sound like a bad idea either. Avoid tiny maintenances, rather re

I wouldn't be surprised if their battery claims have a similar underlying issue, freeing up space in a similar way that lights free up power.

I don't see how this shouldn't classify as an improvement or proper management.

I see Julia and eventually Mojo gaining more adoption than anything else, this without taking into account that finally JIT efforts have started to be taken more seriously by the community after PyPy feeling quixotic for so many years.

There are also the JIT GPU efforts from Intel and NVIDIA into their APIs.

Personally I would like to see more Java and .NET love, however dynamic languages loved by the research community is where the game is at, also the reasoning behind Mojo, after the Swift for Tensorflow failure.

Naturally kudos to the Arraymancer effort, the more the better.

The wasteful step is to order more food than you will eat. Someone not finishing their meal is what I don't recognise. If someone has a small appetite I am used to them enquiring about portion size and arranging to split dishes with others rather than expect to bag up an excess. There are always people keen to get their hands on anything going spare anyway.

I only see it happen if someone falls ill, is called away or there was an error in the order e.g. you manage to order four entire chickens instead of four portions.

Let's get Polygon out, because they are not a base-layer blockchain.

> a similar number of transactions to ethereum (or more), with lower fees.

Are we talking about the base currency (Wei) or the dollar-equivalent amount? If Wei, the only way that the transaction fees can be lower is if the chain has a different set of costs for the operations.

If you are talking about the dollar-equivalent amount, then yes, transactions are going to be "more expensive". But even then, it is not related to the consensus algorithm and just the "price of the base token".

> This idea that you are owed reciprocity for publishing free software is about as logically sound as expecting compensation from someone when you give them a gift.

Ironically this happened because the community was using the BSD license instead of the GPL, when the former allows someone to fork the code under a different license.

If the big cloud providers wanted to stick it to them, they would create their own fork of the code under the GPL and make substantial contributions to it so that one becomes the main one.

You keep making comments about this, as if Redis was build from scratch by the company that is now making it closed source.

They bought an open source project, and now that the original founder has stepped away they're trying to squeeze it for all they can.

The "big corps" that you claim are using it to "pirate software in a legal way" (a) have been contributing to the formerly open source redis project, and (b) are now specifically forking it to keep maintaining it as open source.
I feel like you’re missing the point? Once the temperature has risen it’ll already be too late, it doesn’t really matter if you then reduce carbon emissions after that point because all kinds of drastic non-reversible effects will have taken place.

> I think our brains are machines for predicting what happens next.

Technologist thinks that humans are machines (breaking news)

> Therefore, a large brain makes sense because it can simulate the world more precisely and make better predictions.

Whence consciousness?

> One mistake of this simulation is that the brain simulates us as a conscious agent who can make their own decisions and act in the world.

A mistake? Like a random mutation (consciousness) which just persisted because there was no evolutionary pressure to get rid of it?

Or did it persist in everyone? Maybe half of humanity is conscious while the other half is not? They operate exactly the same except the conscious half wastes some kilojoules fretting over awareness.

A machine doesn’t need to simulate being aware of decision-making. That’s cruft. Wasted cycles.

Maybe you’re reasoning backwards from the human-centric idea that “making decisions” requires awareness. But then you incoherently assert that humans are machines, and machines don’t need consciousness to make decisions.

> Maybe evolution set up this illusion on purpose so that we don't get depressed and kill ourselves.

So (if I am understanding correctly), consciousness was a random mutation of a complex organism. Of course someone can be conscious and not feel like they have free will. Like they are just along for the ride. But this is “depressing” somehow.[1] So now a free will illusion mutation has to occur in order to protect the machine from self-killing.

Seems convoluted.

[1] But why? 80% of the HN philosophers seem fine with it.
But the argument is that the grandparent comment is making is that you should build your application on the ethereum network, eth is the “oil” of this machine, and the more people who use it the higher the value of eth is.

So if I make a game, or an uber for dog walkers, or a global shipping service, or some SaaS app on the ethereum blockchain, then my customers will have to pay more or less (or my costs will be higher or lower) depending on how active the network is.

That makes no sense. Day to day price and gas fee fluctuations make it hard to long term plan. Just saying that if you want price stability use a stablecoin doesn’t address that issue because we are not building the app on the blockchain of the stablecoin. There isn’t an eth stable coin that is always 1 blip to 1 eth exchange rate.
What's wrong with creating a function that does those things? It would be less surprising to people new to the library, would be self-documenting by having a name and an easily inspected declaration with named arguments, and it would be idiomatic JS. You could also have variants that are purely functional and return a new value or ones that mutate in place that you could use depending on your needs.

I'd say it's the other way around: The British norm of eating everything on your plate was traditionally to avoid food waste.

And even though supermarket food is incredibly cheap these days, the norm is maintained by parents who want their children to eat their vegetables.

So Brits rarely see one another asking for to-go boxes even though many restaurants will offer them for free.

If the stakes of the arcade game were so high that people wanted to have its logic running on the base-layer - e.g, high prizes for winners, or the possibility of using power ups obtained in other games - then the price to play would have to depend on the network activity.

But because these games don't, it should be totally fine to delegate this application to a layer-2 system like a roll-up or a payment channel.

> no amount of money will induce somebody to die

Not true; people have committed suicide due to financial losses that they believe have destroyed their life and made it not worth living. If any FTX customers ended up killing themselves over this (I saw a post somewhere upthread claiming that was true, though I haven't verified that), isn't that just as bad? Certainly the intent is different in the case of a murderer vs. someone who incidentally drives someone to suicide by stealing their life savings. But the end result is still the same.

Regardless of that, I'm not sure how I feel about the idea that a person would value their own life at infinite dollars. Certainly I don't want to die, but would I expect or want an unbounded amount of money to be spent in order to keep me alive? No, I don't think so; that feels selfish and would undoubtedly harm others.

And people will do some funny things to help their family, including working a job where eventual death due to a job-related accident or illness is inevitable. While that's not the same as someone agreeing to be killed in exchange for money, it seems relevant. And hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there were quite a few (financially desperate) people in the world who would agree to be murdered in exchange for their family being financially taken care of for the rest of their lives.

> non-violent criminal [...] violent criminals

I really dislike this bucketing. It ignores quite a spectrum of crime: punching someone in the face at a bar is not the same as stabbing someone who survives is not the same as shooting someone who dies. And violent crimes-of-passion are not the same as cold, calculated, planned violence.

I'm just not convinced that a violent crime is automatically worse than a non-violent one.

And the terms themselves are somewhat arbitrary. I would consider it incredibly violent to deprive someone of their savings and livelihood.
I might want to know why the hole on the left flange needs such insane tolerance though.

I could see that happening, in the mid-1990s me, my brother and my grandma were still spending a day or two every autumn trying to get rid of those damn Colorado bugs, this was all happening in my grandma's potato field in an Eastern-European country.

No pesticides/insecticides or anything of the sorts, just going from potato plant to potato plant, bucket in one hand, and "hitting" those damn things with a snap of your fingers so that they'd land directly in said bucket. Surprisingly I now miss those simpler times, so I guess I should give my thanks to the CIA for making it happen.
Not sure what you're trying to assert here, though. You bring up selective enforcement, but then describe a lack of competence in solving murders. I suppose both things can be happening, but they are not the same thing.

You don't need to prove that it's above average. You need to prove that they'd still have killed themselves if SBF hadn't defrauded them.

(Well, really, the opposite: you need to prove that their suicide was a direct result of SBF's fraud. And I don't think that's an impossible -- or even difficult -- bar to reach, here.)
Can you give a few examples? I was of the impression that the idea was that there is an evolutionary explanation to everything, be it known or not. With biological organisms i mean.
The solution is simple:

1) There are standards for being a journalist and practicing journalism. If you fail to reach the height of that bar, you can't self-declare yourself something you're not. Or as I like to say, "If your pet barks, do you still call it a cat?"

If their peers don't call them out, the rest of us should [1].

2) Along the same lines, stop allowing editorial to be passed off as news / journalism. There seems to be a false belief that everything that comes from a journalist's mouth, pen or KB is "journalism", and that at no time do their obvious biases make that content editorial.

Again, if their peers don't call them out, the rest of us should [1].

[1] But do note, even on the "objective" HN I was down voted for stating the obvious. Sheepfulness is real.
Because you perceive the galaxy as being on a railroad? Why? Doesn’t Stan look railroaded the way he drives to work, eats lunch, drives home, mows the lawn? Maybe the galaxy, like us,[1] experiences itself as doing things with volition. Which might seem weird given the sheer scale and timespan of a galaxy. But:

> Assuming that the galactic mind works in and through electromagnetic fields, then its thoughts and perceptions must be very slow
indeed, by our standards. The radius of the Milky Way is about 50,000
light years, so it would take at least this length of time for the galactic
centre to perceive what is happening at the periphery, and as long
again for it to act on star systems at the edge.

Instead of having a consciousness that has to wait 50,000 years for some input, it makes more sense for a consciousness to experience time on a scale where input happen in (say) 100ms consciouss-perceived time or so. So what looks like 500,000 years for us is a second to a galaxy.

[1] The HN philosophers can argue about free will or not but here only the feeling of having it is relevant
> if it actually exists

It seems likely that it exists, because why would we discuss it? (Occam's razor) Also consciousness has an effect on physics for the same reason.
The cops were even worse before. The crime wave of the 80s and 90s was way worse than what we have now and that was just the continuation . We’ve always had this problem.

None of what you say is happenening in this case. Unless by "entitled folks" you mean Redis Inc.

The community has been doing the heavy lifting over the years and Redis Inc has been trying to reap the benefits off of that by providing the software as a service. Which the community was fine with. Turns out other companies with deeper pockets for infrastructure can do the same. Now Redis Inc is trying to save their broken by design business model by changing the license. This casts a whole lot of doubt on the future utility and licensing of the Redis project. And this is what the community balks at.
While I agree that climate change is an awful disaster, I think humans are way more valuable than you give us credit for. Can beauty exist without someone capable of experiencing it?
They want to make ludicrous profits on the software others have built for them.

There's nothing wrong with making money and being profitable. But they have to justify investments taken with greed. This license change is motivated by greed, not by "making money" fairly.
> Lots of phenomena — including those possessed by biological organisms — exist without there being any evolutionary imperative for their existence.

There are certainly many things, such as the specific patterning of a moth's camouflage, where a certain amount of chance is involved, and there are Gould's "spandrels" - features that exist, not for themselves, but because constraints on what is possible require them - but anything significant that makes no sense in terms of evolution would be a matter of the greatest significance in biology.

But this is beside the point here, as there is no difficulty (except perhaps self-imposed ones) in seeing the utility of consciousness.
