That's not actually equivalent. The initial version they included produces:

He's referring to consciousness, and the fact that we may all be more of passengers than drivers. The entity inside of you, experiencing everything like a highly interactive movie, is your consciousness - you. And we tend to think of this as what drives our actions, because it certainly feels it. I'm 'thinking up' these words, and then writing them down, so certainly this is me - the observing entity within this body?

But that's somewhat begging a question of free will. Did I choose these words, because I literally chose them or is it simply a product of various physical processes within the entity that I'm 'attached' to and 'observing'? And if this latter possibility is the case, then the presence of "me", the consciousness, serves absolutely no purpose beyond being a 'passenger.' And an entity with or without such a thing would behave identically. This could, for instance, include compelling descriptions of consciousness.

This is one of the main issues I have with consciousness. If you write a computer program to give you the value of a variable, add a couple of numbers, or other fundamental process then you certainly don't believe some entity suddenly poofs into existence, imagines itself doing such an action(s) of its own will, and then poofing our of existence. Yet, if one is to believe consciousness is suddenly emergent then this must become true at some point or 2, 3, or 2^100 actions, which I find no less absurd.
I recently had to fix the radio in my car for the same reason. Pioneer installed the firmware onto a cheap SD card that they have hidden inside the radio and requires disassembly to replace. Of course they don't offer the original firmware anywhere, luckily someone online has backed it up and I found the file on reddit.

It seems like the repo's primary reasons are security research on macOS.

I'm not sure what that has to do with running a Docker container. Containers support arm64; presumably you could do arm64 in both host and guest OS. (IDK if this particular image does; never used it.)
> I don't want to use LLMs for coding because I like coding. Finding a good and elegant solution to a complex problem and then translating it into an executable by way of a precise specification is, to me, much more satisfying than prompt engineering my way around some LLM until it spits out a decent answer. I find doing code reviews to be an extremely draining activity and using an LLM would mean basically doing code reviews all the time.

Exactly how I feel about it. This is why I don't find "coding with LLMs" as fun as many others seem to find it. Code reviews are draining because you start with a bunch of unknown unknowns or unproven pitfalls this code might have fallen into. And then you eliminate them on by one as you run the algorithm in your mind. It is a lot more draining than coding is because an experienced coder can take mindful steps and build something solid on a base that he trusts won't collapse. Code Review doesn't get any less draining as you get more experienced, unless you start outsourcing responsibility.
You can ask yourself how much desire for autonomy would indentured servants have after a few generations. Us humans can get used to almost everything. Presumably, simply being used to abuse and not desiring freedom just because you never had (or could even imagine) it doesn’t make being abused or lacking freedom “good”.

> I don't see why knowledge and intelligence necessarily entail that it has a desire for autonomy

I’d replace that with “knowledge, intelligence and human-like sentience”. Someone proposed to grant the tool the right humans normally have. (Humans can learn from reading any stuff under any license, so why not the tool.) Well, you’d think human-like sentience/consciousness are required for those rights, and human-like sentience/consciousness would desire the appropriate degree of autonomy.

LLM is not “anyone”, because LLM is a thing but “anyone” refers to people. If you consider LLMs people, then you should ask yourself whether they are suffering abuse from being treated the way they are by their operators.
> more than often leave low effort or just worthless threads up

to be fair, forums do this too - you're just less likely to notice because many forums would have multiple boards / forums where you would post in separate categories. very often, there would be a screenshots/picture forum.

reddit, due to how it's designed, is forced to organize everything under a single subreddit. labels help some, but it's just not the same.

This is really really awesome. The only thing is I feel like it would be heavily reliant on SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose and so breaking changes would break the entire codebase until the tool is updated since there is no 'runtime'. I'm also curious how hacky workarounds would be transpiled over to Compose, since in my experience SwiftUI can involve lots of hacks in order to get something more unconventional working properly.
No drama, I'm not in NYC but other comments have pointed out that many in NYC that use buses already face high rent and and high food costs that consume large percentages of their earnings - there are estimates of $60/month for transit which could be hard to meet when just scraping by and having family etc. to support.

Python has lambdas. What do you mean by "proper" lambdas?
Funny no one in the comments has mentioned law and order.
It seems that a common thread is that Reddit (and Redditlikes) fail when the topic is too big.

I generally use Reddit for small topics. My home town is 80,000 people embedded in a county with a total of 150,000. Our locale-based subreddit works fine (admittedly with a lot of predictable and repeated whining from certain demographics). Our moderators are rarely in sight or even detectable.
> Kinda looks like a half-assed version of what PRQL does. Like, if we’re going to have nonstandard sql, let’s just fix a whole bunch of things, not just one or two?

To be honest, this feels exactly like the kind of mistake that IPv6 made. It wasn't just "let's extend the IPv4 address space and provide an upgrade path that's as incremental as possible", it was "IPv4 has all these problems, lets solve the address space issue with a completely new address space, and while we're at it lets fix 20 other things!" Meanwhile, over a quarter century later, IPv4 shows no signs of going away any time soon.

I'd much rather have an incremental improvement that solves 90% of my pain points than to reach for some "Let's throw all the old stuff away for this new nirvana!" And I say this as someone that really likes PRQL.
2 books I consider excellent:

The thing in the article is a thermostat-zone controller system, where the tablet is part of the multi-zone controller, and there aren't really separate thermostats.

In the US, it's common that the input to each zone controller is just a open/close contact, so in the worst case you can call for heat by shorting the right wires together.

I have a smart thermostat that I use the provided app to control, but one of the reasons I went with it is that there's also an http server in the device firmware that can be used to control it (so if they totally ruin the app or turn off the server or whatever, there's a way out).
My A/C failed in the same way and with some help from youtube and a multimeter I debugged it to the same problem. Replaced it with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSU47TQ

There's a bunch of similar capacitors on Amazon (or your local hardware store). They're about the size of a soda can. I believe the "old" capacitor in your A/C can zap you if you don't ground the lines together when you pull it out, if you watch youtube videos for this repair they'll ground it with a screwdriver or other metal object.
That the people implying they were monsters were the actual monsters.
> This statement doesn't mean anything

Nope. Take it into account all facts described in my previous answer. Short version: to produce at most 17% (and now 9%) of the electricity we built reactors. We therefore now need about 10 times more reactors to have 100% nuclear-produced electricity. Then we need about twice as much to replace most of fossil fuels. Therefore 20x reactors are needed.
Known accessible uranium reserves (~130 years for the existing reactor fleet, and therefore about 6 years for the needed 20x fleet) are not sufficient to sustain this. It was not considered as a challenge as we know of a way (breeding) to close the uranium cycle, thus obtaining x100 more energy. However our numerous and very expensive attempts to industrialize breeding all failed flat ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor#Notable_reacto... ).

If it is not clear please allow me to avoid wasting my time trying to explain it more clearly.

> you are complaining that it's 94% carbon free

Nuclear is NOT carbon-free (even a 100% nuclear electricity emits, mainly due to uranium mining and enrichment), moreover it needs fossil fuel backup. I'm not complaining, just showing that your statement ("We could have had zero-carbon grid 50 years ago, in the 70’s") isn't accurate (to put it with a friendly tone).

> I am familiar enough with the difference
> This argument is a farse

No. It is not about primary/final energy ( https://ourworldindata.org/energy-definitions ). You wrote "Now millions of people will be displaced or dead by climate change and that could have been prevented" and I showed that is a farce.

> we could have nuclear powered container ships

I doubt so. Think insurance, to begin with. Civilian nuclear exists only because all nations using it neglect to insure it properly, as an exception. How exactly would such a ship be competitive if they cannot access to many (more and more nations are phasing-out nuclear) territorial waters and ports?

Moreover all existing nuclear ships are exploited by military personal (yes, even ice-breakers), that is to say in a context where the TCO is way (way!) higher than in a commercial ship.

The amount of available uranium is also a challenge: all those new reactors will deplete the reserves and lead to some crisis.

To begin with...

> if we really wanted, nuclear powered airplanes.

Source?

> You can't have solar/wind powered ships unless you are going back to sails

Nope. "solar/wind powered ships" now mainly means "electric ship".

I suppose it depends on the country. I heard the US is a somewhat unusual culture where concerns usually encoded in legislation in other countries instead battle it out in courts.
I am not sure about Canadas situation since that is where I used to order my contacts from before I got LASIK several years ago. I don’t recall having to provide a script then. But Mexico and several other European countries I’ve been to (Sweden as an example) it’s absolutely the case you can just walk into the pharmacy and grab the magnification you need with no prescription. I am actually surprised you were able to provide that many counter examples but I’ve never tried to buy contacts in the countries you’ve listed outside of Canada
You can also plan it out so it's a neater install if you do the installation now, rather than when it craps out.

My fridge stopped working last year. We called a repair technician, who swapped out the whole PCB and charged us a few hundred dollars. In retrospect, I think it was one bad relay on the board...

Next time it dies I plan to try to find the defective relay, desolder and resolder it myself. Imagine how much better it would be if there was a read out with an error code on a fridge with easily removable relays you could unplug and replace. I know it is not a priority to make these kinds of things repairable, but I wish it was.
I'm thankful my husband knows I would never allow such a system to be installed in my home.
Fastmail Outage
Fastmail is currently undergoing an outage. Their status page linked below currently shows an outage for outgoing mail but I am experiencing problems using search and downloading attachments too.

August 29, 2024 at 3:51 PM
We now believe that all of our outbound traffic is experiencing significant disruption.

We are continuing to investigate the problem.

August 29, 2024 at 3:00 PM
Fastmail maintains a number of server addresses for TLS-secured IMAP, POP, and SMTP connections intended to deal with blocked ports in a user's local network: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000279921-IMAP-POP-and-SMTP#01H8Q4K5PQ0TNBQXT458TA4083

These servers are currently experiencing an outage, i.e. the following addresses can not be reached:

imaps-proxy.fastmail.com

pops-proxy.fastmail.com

smtps-proxy.fastmail.com

We recommend users to switch to one of the regular services if they can reach them at:

IMAP: imap.fastmail.com Port 993

POP: pop.fastmail.com Port 995

SMTP: smtp.fastmail.com Port 465 (SSL) or 587 (STARTTLS)

We are investigating the issue and will work to resolve the outage as quickly as possible.

I bet that's just plain not true.
Oh yea the titles are a little off, since they're pulling off of the original comment and not the repo itself. The Laudspeaker description came from:

If you're withdrawing from a traditional (pre-tax) 401k or traditional IRA, you have to pay income tax on it. If you're withdrawing from a roth 401k or roth IRA, you don't have to pay any tax on it. If you're withdrawing from a taxable stock market account, you have to pay capital gains tax on the gains. If you're withdrawing from a bank account, you don't have to pay any tax on it (you pay tax on the interest as you get interest).

In the worst case scenario (traditional), $70k of withdrawals would be taxed the same as $70k of income. So this would be enough savings for someone who was making $70k before retirement. Probably actually better, because the person wouldn't have to save some of the withdrawals for retirement, and would get social security.
In my experience ORMs are great for simple CRUD but terrible once you do anything analytical in nature. Even stuff like account summaries often go sideways and it's better to handcraft.

For the CRUD side it's worth it I think, but yeah definitely a balancing act between the two.

Brazil has been on a path to authoritarianism, especially since the last election. Moraes, the justice issuing unilateral orders to ban accounts, censor people, and arrest them (for political speech), is drunk with power and doing the sitting government’s bidding. Twitter is right to fight morally, for free speech. But they’re also right to challenge it legally - their claim is that Moraes’s orders aren’t constitutional under Brazilian law.

The NYT wrote previously how Alexandre de Moraes is a threat to democracy in Brazil:

More seriously, fair point about the comparison to Whatsapp. But that gets at why I think this is the wrong direction to start from.

> But what's a better voting system that would have achieve the presumably optimal outcome here (the less-polarizing GOP candidate Begich getting elected)?

One I don't think gets talked about enough is approval voting. Vote for as many candidates as you like, whoever gets the most votes wins. Voting for all of them is effectively the same as voting for none of them. It also has the massive benefit for the general population that it's simple to explain. Even gives third-party candidates and moderate candidates a real chance at winning, since no one would feel like they're throwing their vote away by including them.
> platforms are … turning people thin-skinned

How do you figure?
Agreed, but locale sub-reddits are usually the fastest sustained growth forums on there and the power of the mods is exceptionally realistic.
Lambdas in Python are intentionally second class citizens in that they cannot be full blocks, only a single expression. Technically there's a workaround in that you can define a named function and then refer to it later, but that's enough of a hassle that using lambdas in method calls is much less common in Python than it is in Kotlin.

In Kotlin, much of what would normally be special syntax structures are just function calls that get passed a lambda. That's not possible with Python's single-expression lambda functions, so you get special syntax instead for things like comprehensions.

Twitter’s argument, which they’re trying to make in Brazil through the justice system, is that the orders to censor (by one Supreme Court justice) aren’t constitutional under Brazilian law. In those other cases, Twitter abided by local law as they claimed they would.
GDP is the aggregate of everyone's income, but the highest income earners have a disproportionate share by definition. The lowest tax brackets have never represented a large proportion of government revenue; they both pay lower effective rates and have less income. It's a decent proxy unless you expect that the tax rates paid by the upper middle class (e.g. the top 50% as opposed to the top 1%) have gotten dramatically out of proportion from what they used to be, but that isn't what happened.

You can find the raw data here though (Tables II: distributional series, you're looking for tab TG2b): http://gabriel-zucman.eu/usdina/

And then you can see that the highest effective income tax rate ever paid by the top 1% was 23.4% in 2001. The most current number from that table was 2019 when it was 20.3%. Whereas the highest rate from the mid-20th century period when they were alleged to have been paying such high income tax rates was 21% in 1945. In 1953, when the US had its highest marginal tax rates (92%), the effective income tax rate on the top 1% was 14%. Which is more typical for the period; 1945 was an outlier, it being the height of WWII.

The thing that has actually come down is not effective income tax rates on the top 1%, it's corporate income tax, which is a consequence of globalization. "Corporate income tax" is not a good fit for an international supply chain because tax avoidance and jurisdiction shopping is too easy if you're trying to tax something that only exists in a spreadsheet ("corporate profit") instead of something that has a definable physical location (goods, workers, real estate, etc.) So corporate tax avoidance is higher (because of transfer pricing etc.) and corporate rates are lower because it's easier for corporations to set up shop somewhere else if the somewhere else is taxing them less, which puts tax jurisdictions in competition with each other. But that's not an easy one to fix without abandoning globalization, so other taxes got raised to compensate (which brings us back to, government receipts as a percent of GDP haven't really changed).
