There's also awareness of the basilisk...

I searched for "Hey Google" and got this in response:

  Hey! I'm here and ready to help. What’s on your mind today? Whether you need to look up information, plan a trip, or get things done, just let me know!

> We paged for every single 500.

Assuming the existence of some kind of network (with zero guarantee of 100% reliability), how does this work in practice? Is each 500 treated as an event that needs investigation, even if the result of that would end up as 'a router dropped something from an internal buffer but the transaction as a whole was re-tried by a parent so the service itself recovered'?

> A website that sells merchandise was hacked

This is the least surprising thing I've read all year

> It's merchandise for Kash Patel

And this is one of the most

Really upping the stakes of "It works on my machine" with an escalation to "It works on multiple of my machines".

Steady on, I'd say it's at least a fancy CRUD app.

As long as the ground doesn't dip halfway across...

How about a Mastodon, Lamb of God take with Floods of Triton:

  Heap data upon this modern age
  All human drivers now phased away
  A lidar's glow, the soft wheel's echo
  Autonomous force of code remains
  
  We are last of the before rides
  Now hear the robot cars rise
  Hum into eternity
  Remember this, all roadways lead to the fleet

Ignoring things like whether the Rust that was output could be deemed qualitatively good, whether the resulting line count is appropriate, how much the codebase was ready or primed for this kind of exercise going in, and so on, is it fair to say that a 622 line artefact created up front is a relatively small cost for a potential increase in consistency or quality of output when the output is ~1M LoC? It seems like there's a multiplicative power here given how much output there is. Or is that missing a lot of nuance?

I'd also be interested generally in how much tacit knowledge was needed to come up with these rules and how much iteration on this file was needed, for example how many of the rules here came from a failure case hit as part of iterating on the translation.

Interestingly, the entire line gets formatted once it reaches seven digits, +lines and -lines both, so I guess the -lines is just interpreted as a dash. But your eight digit string doesn't. Perhaps it's not interesting, though I've never really given it a second thought before.

I'm not sure if it's just the leading '+' or if there are other factors for phone number detection on iOS, but on mobile the line count changes are underlined and I can tap it to start a call, which, if it is because of the diff size, is something I find pretty amusing.

It does, right? It's going to be a hard one for me to to sample to put on my personal coffee shop tier list though...

Semantics, but are there really random coffee shops in Antarctica? I assumed no, though a quick search suggests a place called Coffeehouse at McMurdo Station, some at South Pole Station, and then assorted local station cafeterias. Even so. I guess I'd still vote yes though, so...

Perhaps a quick visit to https://german.millermanschool.com could sort this out

Great timing, I was having trouble not getting to sleep and this looks like it will help.

So you can’t be discriminated against if you’re less than 40, but that seems somewhat discriminatory (maybe you wanted to be), but that means that you are being discriminated against, but that’s meant to be forbidden.

I sense a paradox.

It's a tube and it's directly connected, for efficiency. Feel free to fill in the rest of the story.

> custom 3d visualization of that information floating in front of him.

Eh, what a waste. Can't we just stimulate the optic nerve? Or better yet, whatever region of the brain is responsible for me being able to 'see' anything? And perhaps we can finally get smell-o-vision too.

I'm getting Mimikyu vibes from it.

Things can always be worse. It could be PHP, for example.

> doesn't let you remove coins from someones wallet it allows you to change which transaction history is considered the real one

Potato potahto.

“You’ve got it all wrong officer, I wasn’t talking money from his wallet, I was changing history such that the money was transferred to my wallet instead.”

If Advent of Code has taught me anything it’s that interval ranges can be really useful for this kind of thing. I mean at least twice in ten years. We just need to figure out how to coordinate individuals attempts to make it storage efficient.

Not with that attitude it won’t

99% of gamblers quit before they win big. In this case, really big. I am going to be the 1%. Or should that be the 1.9e-71%.

They didn't cause the peril, but knowing that their choice is possibility, if I don't make a decision to protect myself now their decisions may then be the cause of my continued not-survival.

Choosing red is choosing to survive knowing that there will always be people who choose blue, potentially an amount that would mean you don't survive if you didn't take explicit action against it.

No mention of Snakebird in the comments. So here it is.

I'd say it's either an action-adventure game with some mystery, or a mystery game with some action-adventure, depending on the player.

I'm not sure I'd agree that people in groups 1 and 2 aren't worth engaging with.

The interesting bit to do for both cases is look at the 'they talk like a human' and 'are obviously somehow special' parts, separate the ideas of language, intelligence (memory, fluidity, abstract reasoning), _aliveness_ (as a biological process) and finally ideas about metacognition and theory of mind, and see whether their idea of consciousness as a super-bundle of the above (which is how I assume a lot of default ideas about consciousness are) actually sticks, or whether it falls apart when beings can have a subset of those properties but not all.

Also, I nominate myself to be in the 'People who have thought about it and are becoming more doubtful that I myself am conscious, and the question might be moot.' group.
