> In "figure of speech", or conventual use, people start drinking in their 21st year, not their 22nd. In common parlance, they can vote in their 18th year, not their 19th.

That’s not the case, though. They can vote (and drink, in quite a few countries) when they are at least 18 years old, not when they are in their 18th year (who would even say that?)

People are 18 years old (meaning that 18 years passed since their date of birth) on their 18th birthday. There is no need of shoehorning 0-based indexing or anything like that.

> Most will say yes.

Most people say something stupid if you ask tricky questions, I am not sure this is a very strong argument. Have you seriously heard anybody talking about a child’s “5th year of development”, except maybe a paediatrician? We do talk about things like “3rd year of school” or “2nd year of college”, but with the expected (1-indexed) meaning.

> So perhaps it's logical to count from zero when there's no digit in the magnitude place, because you haven't achieved a full unit till you reach the need for the unit. Arguably a baby at 9 months isn't in their first year as they've experienced zero years yet!

It’s really not. To have experienced a full year, you need a year to have passed, which therefore has to be the first. I think that’s a cardinal versus ordinal confusion. The first year after an event is between the event itself and its first anniversary. I am not aware of any context in which this is not true, but obviously if you have examples I am happy to learn.

> It's unsatisfying, but solves the off by one errors, one of the two hardest problems in computer science along with caching and naming things.

Right. I know it is difficult to admit for some of us, but we are not computers and we do not work like computers (besides the fact that computers work just fine with 1-indexing). Some people would like it very much if we counted from 0, but that is not the case. It is more productive to understand how it works and why (and again cardinals and ordinals) than wishing it were different.
That makes sense. If I'm already saying I need a motor to get myself up the trail I'm pretty far from worrying about shaving weight off my bike (or off of myself for that matter).
I'll make sure to explain it a little more!

Basically, I developed a whole lot of bebop/poly, but I had some disagreements with the owner of the repo (Timothy Stiles) about direction at the later stages of development. For example, I wanted to standardize all the parsers to use a generic interface, so that they're all used in the same way, while he didn't really want to change anything. There were other features I wanted to add as well - you can see a full list in the changelog (which are the changes since diverging from upstream)
We have those rules about how homeopathic "medicine" can be labeled.

You could buy a 5.42kg steel bike with a carbon fork in 2019 https://www.bikeradar.com/news/worlds-lightest-steel-road-bi..., given that a regular steel fork is about 800g, even if the original carbon fork is 0g, you can throw in a steel fork for total 6.2kg. Disc brakes instead of rim brakes would be another 200g. Something tells me those don't sell very well though and the company had not been updating this model ever since. Looks like they've done it for publicity.
I don't think we _all_ point at cat's behavior and conclude consciousness. I think its the behaviors you describe plus we see how anatomically similar to humans they are. As someone who believes consciousness is an emergent property of the configuration of matter that makes up our bodies, particularly our brains, it seems plausible that cats have some sort of recognizable version of experience to ours (though I'm very amenable to discovering that actually they don't).

But also jellyfish has goal seeking behavior, and a most of those other characteristics you mention, and my intuition (based on the vastly different neural structure and anatomy), is that they experience probably nothing.
It depends on the target market.

There are some medicines that do actually work, but they're advertised toward the people who believe in homeopathy, so they are labeled as homeopathic.

Road Deal Clears Way to Build Giant 1.2M Panel Cheyenne Solar Farm
Recursive attribution (e.g. a profitable video used 10 seconds of a remix of a song ultimately belonging to xyz) would be fair. It should be easy for YouTube engineers to engineer profit sharing.

Say hypothetically that the song writer gets paid 100% every time their song gets played 100% in any video, why does copyright care at all? It's right to safeguard the primary creator's intellectual property to the extent of allowing them to claim share in profits, but it's strange to use copyright to restrict use.

People who oppose taking down the statue for other reasons who were in a procession shouting "you! will not! replace us!" and "jews! will not! replace us!" which are obvious "great replacement theory" tropes associated with the very white nationalists and neo-nazis who organised the rally, probably don't get to fall back on those "other reasons" without cause.

Trump was trying to equivocate, to offer support in principle, even though every single one of the people in that rally was actually in the class of people who he was supposedly condemning, and he knew it.

Quite aside from the fact that there is no ethical reason to oppose taking down confederate statues that were erected for explicitly white nationalist reasons:

Article is riddled with inaccuracies (crates are not precompiled, they're downloaded in source form and then built locally), and only barely seems comprehensible.

What database support is needed? Assuming Postgres already has the uuid type and that you can (and often should) do the actual generation of them in application code?
Worrying about UUID collisions is like worrying about being hit in the head by a meteor. Sure, its technically possible, but it happens so rarely that worrying about a collision as a performance concern is just a misunderstanding on how UUIDs work.

And, it’s so random that if you ever do see a collision you should immediately start looking for a compromised system or bug. This is basically how GitHub discovered the OpenSSL bug that had removed too much entropy from the RNG setup.
It’s not about physical distance, it’s about drag. Masssively more drag at sea level than in a thin atmosphere, way up in the sky.

The whole thing is a propaganda quagmire, with no neutral parties.

Meduza reports 60k Russian deaths as of August 2023. At the same time, the US DOD was telling the world that Ukraine had 70k KIAs and 120k wounded.[1] It seems to me that we are emerging from a Ukraine is falling and needs our help cycle and entering a Ukraine is winning cycle, and the numbers reflect that.

It is pretty interesting and scary to imagine being a citizen of a country struggling with bad information or lack thereof due to propaganda, but this is almost always the norm.

you are mistaken how English works, how punctuation works, and how context works wrt parsing and semantics. Freighting what I said with your misinterpretations is on you, not me.

what noun cluster would you use for the style guide that google uses internally? Their internal style guide is perfectly accurate. If they publish it externally, does make it no longer their internal style guide? Nope. Would it make somebody exploring the topic wish to add the clarification "oh, their internal and external style guides are one and the same"? Yes.

None of that conflicts with what I wrote, but it does conflict with what you wrote.

I'm not implying consciousness is some mythical undiscovered force. My point is: How would you know if the components that you are toying with are indeed relevant to consciousness and not some proxy or supporting structure?

The answer is: you can't know. You can reach lesser conclusions (under the effect of drug X, area Y of the brain has decreased activity, resulting in change of behavior Z), but it says nothing about that subjective experience I mentioned earlier (qualia).

I don't doubt we could brute force this into a meaningful discovery, carefully mapping each part of the brain until we figure it out completely, including qualia. We're not there yet though.

I love Le Guin's writing in general, and her version of the Tao Te Ching, but it's very misleading to call it a "translation". There's even an endnote saying as much:

> This is a rendition, not a translation. I do not know any Chinese. I could approach the text at all only because Paul Carus, in his 1898 translation of the Tao Te Ching, printed the Chinese text with each character followed by a transliteration and a translation. My gratitude to him is unending.

So is Fortnite going to come back to the iOS App Store or are we still continuing with this being all about "user choice" when in fact it is all about developers making the choice for users?

Assuming that is the case (and I highly doubt Epic spent all that time fighting Apple just to go back to the App Store), its been a month (2 months?) and we now have 2 (that I know of) examples of apps that are available on third party app stores but not on the official store (Ironically one of those apps is however available in the US App Store, but not the EU).
Of course, we learn about the American Revolution in schools, but people aren't going to remember every date they were taught in schools. The founding of Rome or the Punic Wars are also hugely important for today's world, but not everyone can place them.

The reason most US Americans probably can place the American Revolution is because I assume it's so often commememorated there. In Germany, people would be much more likely to remember the years 1933, 1949 and 1989, because of how often they're referenced.

The bit about Starcraft being a hit in Korea also misses that there was a 50+ year ban on importing Japanese culture that was loosened in late 1998 through the early 2000s, which made Korea a much more receptive market for non-Japanese game makers up through that period of time.

Add into that the different domestic cryptography requirements, and you get a lot of explanation of the uniqueness of the Korean computing landscape.
The article was originally published by The Irrawaddy - an amazing, high quality online-paper.

The Irrawaddy does detailed and ethical journalism about Burma/Myanmar, a part of the world ruled by an authoritarian regime.

There's no Irrawaddy for Venezuela, Afghanistan, or North Korea. We only see them by the shadows they leave on other countries.

But because of the hard work of The Irrawaddy, Burma/Myanmar is much more visible to English-speaking audiences - a touchy demographic in the country being covered.

The least you could do is link to the original publisher, especially when they are such an amazing group.

A relevant quote from Harold Bloom (from the introduction to Le Guin’s Collected Poems):

> Le Guin in her version certainly captures the terseness and the aesthetic sensibility of the Tao. Scholars tell me that her work is disputable, but I see nothing to dispute. Her total aspiration is meaning, and her transpositions, as she calls her versions of the text, strengthen meaning.

How true this all is, I really don’t know. Le Guin herself admits that, for the first chapter at least, ‘A satisfactory translation […] is, I believe, perfectly impossible’. I personally like the aesthetics of her version, at least.
Information leakage since they have a timestamp component. Some people may not care, but plenty of folks do. As others have said, anything security related likely should UUIDv4. UUIDv7 is basically an engineering compromise on security (they leak a timestamp) vs performance (random reads and writes to an index aren’t as performant as localized reads and writes).

Antibiotics? Please enlighten me.
Legal limit in USA is 750 watts, legal limit in UK is 250 watts. Competition on power output is illegal. I have a BBSHD which can be trivially programmed to 1500w output (likely the same as your Luna cycle without a custom controller) and it’s great. It is widely regarded that there is no enforcement of power limits, but manufacturers can’t really advertise illegal power limits for sale.

Many high power ebike enthusiasts (for example “High Voltage DIY Electric Bikes” channel on YouTube) argue that these low legal power limits actually make e-bikes less safe, as you need a good 2-3kw to actually ride with the flow of traffic. At US or worse UK power limits, you don’t get enough of a boost for that and you’re more likely to get hit from behind.

In my case 1500 watts feels like a good low range of what I would want. Luckily for work I’ve been developing my own open source brushless motor controller for a few years now, and we’re finally maturing past the self-immolation phase of motor controller design. I’m going to try to outfit my bike with it eventually. Later on I would like to make a 72 volt version (84v peak, so 100 volt parts).

> Okay well that's silly and I've not met even one panpsychist who believes this "comparable to human conscious experience" portion

You, yourself, and Philip Goff and others talk about how "we might want to treat trees differently" suggesting (correct me if I'm misunderstanding you) that cutting a tree might "hurt" the tree, or cause "pain" to the tree, which is exactly what I mean by "comparable to human conscious experience."

> This isn't true. You can literally cut a brain in half and you appear to get two separate consciousnesses in one skull.

What you're saying doesn't address what I'm saying. I did not say that, exhaustively, all changes to the brain disrupt everything. Rather, I will clarify that there exist a subset of extremely small disruptions you can make to the brain that "turn the lights off" of consciousness in humans. Among them are a fairly tiny dose of anesthetic, or not breathing for about 5 minutes.

> Sure... so why are you spending so much breath attacking the obviously weak form of the argument?

Because I'm replying to a comment that suggests we might treat trees differently (if Panpsychicism were true). I would consider a statement like that to be the first category of panpsychist.

> ... but that doesn't make the endeavor meaningless.

I didn't say the endeavor is meaningless. I'm a strong proponent of prodding anything we can about consciousness, or anything in our universe for that matter. What's "too early for my tastes" is to believe the Panpsychist hypothesis is currently the best explanation.
In BC, Canada, there is a maximum motor power limit of 500W for e-bikes. I am not sure if switching (or locking?) the e-bike to power assist level 1 would qualify.

You're kinda arguing about something else, though.

Ukraine is hitting Russian air defenses with ATACMS, successfully and repeatedly. Corresponding attempts with Iskanders and Kinzhals to target the Patriots have largely failed.

There seems to be a wide gap in capability between the two scenarios - in either the attacking missiles, the defending systems, or both. Ukraine doesn't have enough Patriots to defend everywhere, but they're dramatically more effective than the Russian equivalents where they are stationed.

If nothing else, the war has been a huge advertising boon for Western defense contractors.
