I kind of hope they don't. I like the humble, democratic, FOSS spirit - it's like Dogme 95 / "Vows of Chastity".

"rules to create films based on the traditional values of story, acting, and theme, while excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology. It was supposedly created as an attempt to "take back power for the directors as artists" as opposed to the movie studio."

I had a negative initial reaction to the animation style but it hooked me in and blew me away. It had virtues far more vital than render quality. In contrast, I bailed on "Inside Out 2" and have no interest retrying. I hope more people are encouraged to create lofi meaningful movies instead of thinking it's the preserve of billion dollar studios and sweat-shop animation factories.
No, "fork" means development has separated paths from original project. Changing some relatively minor parts but otherwise keeping close to upstream would be better called a "spin", especially when most of the changes are just to the default configuration.

It's a shame that GitHub messed up this term by calling any clone of a repository a "fork".
Well, it entirely depends on how you even define free will.

Btw, Turing machines provide some inspiration for an interesting definition:

Turing (and Gödel) essentially say that you can't predict what a computer program does: you have to run it to even figure out whether it'll halt. (I think in general, even if you fix some large fixed step size n, you can't even predict whether an arbitrary program will halt after n steps or not, without essentially running it anyway.)

Humans could have free will in the same sense, that you can't predict what they are doing, without actually simulating them. And by an argument implied by Turing in his paper on the Turing test, that simulation would have the same experience as the human would have had.

(To go even further: if quantum fluctuations have an impact on human behaviour, you can't even do that simulation 100% accurately, because of the no cloning theorem.

To be more precise: I'm not saying, like Penrose, that human brains use quantum computing. My much weaker claim is that human brains are likely a chaotic system, so even a very small deviation in starting conditions can quickly lead to differences in outcome.

If you are only interested in approximate predictions, identical twins show that just getting the same DNA and approximation of the environment gets you pretty far in making good predictions. So cell level scans could be even better. But: not perfect.)
If you leave it up to programmers to choose to use AI or not, in the context of writing business software for pay, then you should not have responsibility for managing software development. Hobby projects and personal exploration, sure, but in a professional environment the management and team decide on the tools. Companies that expect their programmers to use AI should have a strategy around that, licenses, training, etc.
And that's a useful and pragmatic definition, because it's very hard to measure the other definition even just for other humans.
An 1.5 hour movie at 24 FPS has ~130k frames to render. As long as you have less machines than that the parallelization is essentially free.

I couldn't find a good timeline of all the developments in the extension space. I started first installing extensions on Firefox with their super powerful but dangerous XUL system, then they watered it down and many extensions died, then Chrome took over the internet, then extensions could just block the ads and nothing more interesting, then suddenly for Chrome, they even can't do that? I remember Google also trying to ship some tamper protection (like DRM) for web sites... I wonder how this all will end up. I also wonder why people keep installing Chrome but not Firefox, but I digress. I really think the web needs a detailed documentary on how Google played Microsoft's EEE scheme on the whole web.
I still remember a rumor that there was a kind of trend in the late 90s or so where pregnant women dyed their hair blonde thinking that will made their children have natural blond hair

Thank you for saying this. I didn't have the patience, and it's a rather subtle issue with a lot of nuance.

Tradeoffs are indeed inherent in any human effort, but actual market prices are an imperfect reflection reflection of those inherent tradeoffs, and can indeed be distorted by subsidies, externalities, etc. And often tradeoffs cannot really be reduced to a single scalar the way costs do—not everything can be traded off against everything else.

Yet that observation does not mean there aren't any real tradeoffs, or real tradeoffs that can be reduced to a single number.

Also, while this god's-eye viewpoint of the options available for collective action by humanity as a whole is important, for most of us it isn't useful tactical or even strategic information about the possible courses of action we could undertake to affect the world, much less our own lives. It's most useful if you're a billionaire, a Central Committee member, or a Civ player. For the rest of us, even Bilderbergers and the like, those subsidy-distorted costs and the failures of collective action that produce them are merely facts about the world; we cannot make them evaporate in a puff of logic by pointing out their irrationality.

so called agrivoltaics will have certain very limited applications, and putting pv panels on the many very large agricultural buildings roofs, is much easier to integrate.
A big risk with "agrivoltaics" is that they will
in fact destroy the agricultural potential of land
and then become the only source of income for the "farmers" , therby converting protected agricultural land, into purely industrial uses.
Putting solar pv over canals is a better option, it reduces evaporation, while providing a cooler operating enviroment for the panels, in places that have no real constraints with developing them further.Also resevoirs can benifit/help in the same way with floating solar pv.

It is also more efficient to refuse hospital care for those with serious medical conditions. Letting them die is probably more cost-effective.

I can come up with countless examples of how it is more cost-effective and innovative to exploit people for profit, but I am sure you already got my point.

I think here is where we will have a fundamental disagreement in world views, probably in a way that is impossible to reconcile. You think that profit-seeking can be a force that results in progress, whereas I think it is fundamentally adversarial to the public at large. Some government functions are simply incompatible with it, and elsewhere it needs to be curbed with proper regulation.
Why do you expect everyone to come away with the same message? Watching it, I thought about friendship, growth, climate change, death. Other people will see something else in it.
Sure, I think CBOR's "suggested" tags (or whatever they are) are probably useful to most people. The tradeoff is that they create pressure for implementations to support them, and that's not free. For example, bignum libraries are pretty heavyweight; they're not really the kind of thing you'd want to include in a C implementation as a dependency, especially when very few of your users will use them. Well OK, now you have a choice between:

- include it anyway, bloat your library for almost everyone, maybe consider supporting different underlying implementations, manage all these dependencies forever, also those libraries have different ways of setting precision, allocating statically or dynamically, etc, so expose that somehow

- don't include it, you're probably now incompatible with all dynamic language implementations that get bignums for free and you should note that up front

This is just one example, but it's pretty representative of Bormann's "have your cake and eat it too" design instincts where he tosses on features and doesn't consider the tradeoffs.

> One example is the tag 24 "Encoded CBOR data item" (Section 3.4.5.1), which indicates that the following byte string is encoded as CBOR. Since this string has the size in bytes, every array or map can be embedded in such tags to ensure the easy skippability.

This only works for types that aren't nested unless you significantly complicate bookkeeping during serialization (store the byte size of every compound object up front), which has the potential to seriously slow down serializing. My approach to that would be to let individual apps do that if they want (encode the size manually), because I don't think it's a common usage.

While I do like the appeal of this aesthetic, I honestly feel like putting solar panels on everything you own is a bit like growing tomatoes in your backyard.

If we as a species, were truly committed to clean energy on a civilization scale, we would go all in on nuclear, and have renewables be produced at dedicated sites, built and maintained by professionals.

Which goes against the DIY 'punk' idea of it, but I think 'punk' itself is a contradiction - the ability to live free from the constraints of society means you are using much more resources than someone who makes use of communal resources - flats, public transport, etc. The lifestyle of living in a detached house (or even a row house) is not available to everyone, on account of there not being enough resources to go around.
A key difference is that we did know how to read non-burnt scrolls before that.
> there's other parts of the spec that are basically unworkable like indefinite length values, "canonicalization", and tags, making it essentially MP [...].

I'm not sure but your wording suggests that CBOR is equally unworkable as MP because they implement the same feature set...?

But anyway, those features are not always required but useful from time to time and any complete serialization format ought to include them in some way. Canonicalization for example is an absolute requirement for cryptographic applications; you know JWT got so cursed due to JSON's lack of this property. Tag facilities are well thought out in my opinion, while specific tags are less so but implementations can choose to ignore them anyway---thankfully after the aforementioned revisions.

> The story is that Carsten Bormann wanted to create an IETF standardized MP version, the creators asked him not to (after he acted in pretty bad faith), he forked off a version, added the aforementioned ill-advised tweaks, named it after himself, and submitted it anyway.

To me it looks more like Markdown vs. CommonMark disputes; John Gruber repeatedly refused to standardize Markdown or even any subset in spite of huge needs because he somehow believes that standardization ruins simplicity. I don't really agree---simple but correct standard is possible, albeit with efforts. So people did their own standardization including CommonMark, which subtly differ from each other, but any further efforts would be inadvently blocked by Gruber. MessagePack seems no different to me.
There's no evidence that hypercomputation is anything that happens in our world, is there? I'm fairly confident of the weaker claim that there's no evidence of hypercomputation in any biological system. (Who know what spinning, charged black holes etc are doing?)

> Regardless of our Turing or Super-Turing status; is a Turing machine sufficient for consciousness to arise?

A Turing machine can in principle beat the Turing test. But so can a giant lookup table, if there's any finite time limit (however generous) placed on the test.

The 'magic' would in the implementation of the table (or the Turing machine) into something that can answer in a reasonable amount of time and be physically realised in a reasonable amount of space.

Btw, that's an argument from Scott Aaronson's https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/philos.pdf
No in practice people just ignore the spec, but that's not really what you're hoping for when writing one.
Okay, so the actual paper is here and about three months old:

The human equivalent dose of luteolin would be about 3g/day, which is a lot -- but this makes it more interesting, for although luteolin has been available as a nutritional supplement for decades, I don't think that people have normally taken it at that sort of dose. Or anywhere near that sort of dose.

Luteolin is a weak yellow dye, but there are presumably ways to formulate it for topical use so that it's colorless. In general, it's usually pretty easy to get chemicals into follicles. (As opposed to through the skin, e.g. with a nicotine patch, which is possible but more difficult.) If this stuff works, it'll be a staple of haircare and anti-aging products for decades.

It's not in that particular study, but more potent analogs appear to exist. They lack luteolin's easy off-the-shelf availability, though, and presumably the mechanism of action is the same at any rate.
Also when scaling tech/platforms this is a big factor in how many people can actually pay.

Every scaled up platforms then gets trapped into collecting/selling personal data and flooding the field with Ads (and obviously in these ad auctions the 10% can outbid the majority so Ad prices keep rising).

The surplus you see there was during Clinton, you know, a Democrat. And the huge drop during Obama was because... Bush repealed several Depression era bank regulations that led to the Global Financial Crisis.

I'd say that's the rarer approach, though. Yes, some arbitrary-code-execution strats go that far, but by far most glitches used in speedrunning are found by either creative use of game mechanics, just screwing around in the game, or by accident (there are a few general techniques that can apply, e.g. wedging something into a corner and spamming buttons is likely to result in a clip or some kind of high-speed ejection, due to the general weaknesses of physics engines). Only a few, older, very popular games get taken apart to the degree you describe. Watch a few GDQ runs, and see how many times the runner goes "we have no idea why that works, but it does".
> you have to put a lot of work in to learn how to get good results out of these systems

That certainly punctures the hype. What are LLMs good for, if the best you can hope for is to spend years learning to prompt it for unreliable results?

> What's always missing to me in these types of discussions is what this value should be at, and what the distribution should look like qualitatively (i.e. what should the ideal Lorenz curve look like).

Just looking "more uniform" would be a great starting point. The optimal distribution is left as an open question for future research.

Not having the perfect solution upfront should not block incremental improvements, which is more or less what is happening ATM. E.g. people argue we cannot have free healthcare because the proverbial "welfare queen" will also receive it.
Those plastic-foil greenhouses spreading like cancer across the landscape in Spain should be shown (especially up close, where you can better see the dirty tattered foil and the waste they produce) to people who think solar panels or wind turbines are eyesores. I would definitely support replacing those cheapo greenhouses with something more permanent involving solar panels!
Which makes the requested backdoor completely frivolous and something only criminals would need.
I think it's an interesting distinction, but it's sort of OOP's main thing to encapsulate the local (possibly mutable) state, so that using an object externally will leave the inner state correct.

I think the primary issue here is that synchronized should be the default case, with optionally lifting that very strict restriction for multi-threaded access.

Nonetheless, objects with methods that would do STM on their inner state would be a pretty cool design.
> Is there a Turing machine that can output all the free parameters of the standard model?

Sure, just hard code them.

> As well, perhaps, worth noting that because a subset of the observable universe is performing some function, then it is an assumption that there is some finite or digital mathematical function equivalent to that function; a reasonable assumption but still an assumption. Most models of the quantum universe involve continuously variable values, not digital values.

Things seem to be quantised at a low enough level.

Also: interestingly enough quantum mechanics is both completely deterministic and linear. That means even if it was continuous, you could simulate it to an arbitrary precision without errors building up chaotically.

(Figuring out how chaos, as famously observed in the weather, arises in the real world is left as an exercise to the reader. Also a note: the Copenhagen interpretation introduces non-determinism to _interpret_ quantum mechanics but that's not part of the underlying theory, and there are interpretations that have no need for this crutch.)
