Rustaceans are called that for a reason, and that usually involves some level of PTSD from multithreaded C++ security audits or worse. Pick your poison.
As we see now, consciousness is probably a lot more fuzzy than we had predicted. We now have robot appendages for amputees that interface more and more closely with the natural brain. Even from this cyborg point of view, the patients don't seem to think so much about it other than simply "OMG, thank you".
The question of where "soul" exists is older than science, and not really something I could add anything to.
Reposting to HN is different though. What gave me the original feeling of FDD rather than full spectrum research is all of the things that don't get reposted or show up on news. I am sure that people are still doing that research, it just doesn't "have a hat on", as one of my professors would say.
On the other hand, if there is enough interest, I could start live-coding Rust or similar. I would love to do something to support building the Rust community, but I don't want to keep talking to an empty room again and again.
Still working on the OpenAI plumbing though, so still a ways before I get to play with all the different research agents available.
Second game, AlphaGo looked obviously strong throughout.
So the probabilities are maybe not entirely wrong.
For reference I am 4k rating, somewhat below darkforest(1d amateur) and so very very far from 9dan pros that AlphaGo is beating. Usually, pro matches are hard to understand but the excellent commentary and abundant community analysis helps greatly.
Startups usually don't have much time or budget for testing, so we're improving the core technology to bring issue visibility to more businesses.
We manage writing tests/scenarios and customers get alerts, a dashboard, and optionally a public service-status page.
If the article is meant to be a persuasive essay then it may be good to at least acknowledge that dissent exists, particularly when that dissenting opinion designed or heavily influenced the current system.
"the commission says that its main objective was to give Latinos and Native Americans the ability to elect representatives of their choice"
even the article acknowledges the partisan nature of districting, but instead of recognizing that openly the author chooses to begin with the thesis "PARTISAN gerrymandering is an offense to democracy." Partisan gerrymandering was a founding principle of our democracy. By definition, as long as districts exist in elections, they will be partisan.

except for that one time
Seconds have been independent of solar time for quite a while.
"All total functions are recursively enumerable"
2. Read (a lot) of anything you find interesting
3. English grammar = memorization. We inherit grammar points from Old German, Old French, and Latin. The result is that native speakers mix and match grammar rules and it sounds weird when using a certain rule in a place where it logically should be OK.
It sounds like most of these problems can be solved with bulk exposure to the language. I know, easier said than done.
Also for the grammar, it would be good to have structured learning rather than just listening/reading to random things. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/v... seems to be a decent resource, and British grammar is 99.99% same as American.
If you fundamentally understand what problem you are solving beyond simply the technology then you can answer questions like "what feature should be developed first?" or "how should we organize our data for the customer?"
You can definitely build a career out of being "just a programmer" and that is what I have done. However being a "clueless developer" is limiting and very successful people tend to have a mix of both code and industry knowledge.
