Definitely agree that the dev experience is better with a library, particularly for lightweight and low-volume tasks (Hatchet is also moving in the same direction, we'll be releasing library-only mode this month). And I really like the transactional safety built into DBOS!

My concern is as you start to see higher volume, more workers, or load patterns that don't correspond to your primary API. At that point, a dedicated database and service to orchestrate tasks starts to become more necessary.

> Self-identification on the basis of race is not objective.

It correlates extremely closely with objective measures like percentage of genetic ancestry from a given continent or historical population, so close in fact that for statistical purposes, it is justified to regard these two as virtually identical.

> Races do not exist, it is a scientific fact.

I’ll happily use different term like “ancestral group” if you like it more, but the (scientific) truth of the matter is that it’s just splitting hairs. I know that in recent years activists worked hard to obfuscate and misinform people on these topics, so I will happily accommodate you.
Everyone forgets people have been doing quantum computing research for decades.

It absolutely is a hoax, because a number of companies are doing shady things like:

- Selling products based on AI capabilities that do not yet and/or will never exist in the product

- Adding "AI" to the name of product lines with very little core functionality based on AI

- Rebranding non-generative algorithms as AI (e.g., SQL queries and if statements == AI)

- Changing the name and/or domain name of the company to imply AI capability

I look at companies with heavy trend-based advertising like C3.ai, who changed their name from a previous trend (C3.IoT), and then IBM that rode marketing waves related to Watson/Watson Health, IBM Blockchain, and now AI, and these are companies who are part of the disingenous "hoax" companies.

Races are also based on objective criteria: physical characteristics, which convey information about ancestry and genetics.

None of these are even the interesting points. Arguing about whether you or I are a BB is meaningless.

What I want to know is this: will BBs exist in the immeasurably far future? If they will exist, how fast could they possibly think, how long could they last, and what is the limit on their intelligence? Could they comprehend their own existence from first principles? In the short instants that they exist, would they realize how short their life expectancy is?

>Two - based on well-accepted science - is that it is MUCH more likely for you to be a boltzmann brain than not.

We're not each individual BBs (and you're not a lonely BB imagining the rest of us). It's closer to the truth that our entire universe is one big BB that just blipped into existence one moment billions of years ago. If we accept the concept of a Boltzmann Brain at all, then it must be that some configurations of one where parts of the brain are disconnected from each other and each spawns and intelligence... or even just unintelligent matter/machinery. Scale that up to a few billion light years wide, and that's us.

The fourth comment down, and this is sorted by date not relevance, is almost isomorphic to this thread. I believe you didn't intend to start a "race war" (that's Dan's term, not mine), but the big subtext of HN's norms is being responsible not just for your intentions but for the effect your comment has on the thread.

It is not at all established that there are meaningful, coherent IQ differences between "races", and the process of hashing that out on this thread will be an attractive (and tedious) nuisance that will attract awful comments --- for instance, like one suggesting "brain size" differences between races are explanatory.

Nope. It's not better for known uninformed traders. If you mix them in with informed traders, market makers must widen spreads.

This is very obvious in institutional FX. Pure "retail" flow will get quoted much tighter spreads by banks and market makwrs than you'll see on any ECN. Yes, it can get skweded against predictable flow, but a true "noise" trader won't be affected by that and will definitely be better off with tailored liquidity.
Ranking individual things as more or less diverse than other things is a gross abuse of the concept of diversity anyway. But yeah cataloging the set languages spoken in the US is likely impossible in any meaningful way.

> they don’t do as well as the modal group of white Americans, so as the composition changes, and the whites become less of a statistically dominating factor

How do poor whites compare to the rest of white people, as well as other races in their socio-economic strata? I suspect test scores corelate more strongly with household income and wealth than with race. However, in America, income/wealth and race are also correlated, which may make one an inadvertent proxy for the other.

This also surprises me. The weather app on my iphone has been atrocious with local same-day forecasts lately. It will say that the forecast for noon is sunny when it is 11:50 and dumping rain. It sometimes gets the overall idea that warmer or colder weather is coming sometime soon but it’s off by up to 2 days. I haven’t bothered to look for better sources, but it might be worth doing some research and comparison.

Yeah... But since the device is not doing anything meaningful, there's no way to tell if it actually is computing anything, rather than being a very expensive and very complicated random number generator. Because you don't need a quantum computer to generate a stream of meaningless numbers, a machine being capable of generating a stream of meaningless numbers doesn't demonstrate whether it's computing quantumly.

> But it is. Tyrants round up women and children and execute them.

That's just a difference in methods.

> People talk as if insurance companies should spend unlimited resources on every person.

You're right that US healthcare is a total mess (that's a much bigger area for discussion) but that doesn't mean that it's therefore okay for insurance companies to deliberately trade people for profits. That's literally what they do. Seriously, they could choose to make less profit, or pay lower salaries, and treat patients proportionally better. (And of course, as we all know from the reporting in the past week, UnitedHealth is the worst of all in the US for treatment denials.)

I totally agree; but that wasn't the argument I was making.

It's worth noting just how extreme the levels of crime against humanity committed by the Japanese were.

The Germans (and Swiss...) for the most part imprisoned / shot PoWs.

The Japanese used PoWs for chemical and biological weapon testing and vivisection, and they would find the most depraved ways to draw out mass torture of PoWs.

For example, they would do things like put US soldiers into baskets so small PoWs could not move at all inside them, load them into unventilated railroad boxcars with no water, then load them into ships, sail out to sea, and drop them overboard into shark-infested waters.

Then there's the Nanjing Massacre where in a matter of days Japanese soldiers slaughtered something like 300,000 Chinese civilians at a rate of around 7,000 civilians a day. That was just one of the more than a dozen massacres. It's widely believed that Japan slaughtered more civilians than the Germans.

The sheer level of depravity is astounding. And what's especially disturbing are the lengths conservatives in the Japanese government have gone to over the last several decades to rewrite history and erase these atrocities, while pushing harder and harder against the restrictions on their armed forces.

> Over a sufficiently long time, random fluctuations could cause particles to spontaneously form literally any structure of any degree of complexity, including a functioning human brain

Can anyone explain this bit to me? The formation of biological brains was a multi-billion year climb against entropy. How would a brain form spontaneously without those random fluctuations tearing the constituent components apart?

I’m having trouble understanding the logic here. Random fluctuations don’t imply that any order from those fluctuations can be preserved. The higher order features like brains are path dependent on something resisting those random fluctuations to allow something stable to form, whether that’s an atomic particle, cell, organ, or organism.

I'm sure they can find outsiders happy to review code contributions. Any decently-run OSS project would already do this, after all, so it wouldn't be hard to just contact them and find a person already active in that organization willing to do the review and communicate back to the prison, assuming it's a project that really would like some extra full-time help for the next ~50-75 years (not all might, but some definitely would).

What other "more pressing matters" could there be anyway? Making license plates? This guy is smart and experienced with software development. It would be a waste for him to do something as mundane as making license plates or digging ditches (I don't even think they use prisoners for that these days).

> On premise in my opinion needs a dedicated team managing hardware and leverage solutions to provide that as VM's/Containers/etc to teams.

You're assuming that "On premise" equates to "inside our building, in racks we've installed, using power and networking we have to manage." You're correct if that's the case for your business, but my argument is based around the idea that you can use _managed_ hosting providers of physical hardware that'll be either next door to you, in the same city, or close to your users (i.e, you're a business in Germany but your customer base is in London, so you host the servers using a London based provider.)

The idea that you have to manage hardware is greatly diminished when you consider the availability of managed providers that are dirt cheap.
