It would be easier to record than upload. Since upload requires at least a decode steps. Given the fleeting nature of existence how does one confirm the decoding? This also requires we create a simulated brain, which seems more difficult and resource intensive than forming a new biological brain remotely connected to your nervous system inputs.

Recording all inputs in real time and play them back across a blank nervous system will create an active copy. The inputs can be saved so they can be played back later in case of clone failure. As long as the inputs are record until the moment of death, the copy will be you minus the death so you wouldn’t be aware you’re a copy. Attach it to fresh body and off you go.

Failure mode would take your literal lifetime to reform your consciousness but what’s a couple decades to an immortal.

We already have the program to create new brains. It’s in our DNA. A true senior developer knows better than to try and replicate black box code that’s been executing fine. We don’t even understand consciousness enough to pretend we’re going to add new features so why waste the effort creating a parallel system of a black box.

Scheduled reboots of a black box system is common practice. Why pretend we’re capable of skipping steps.

And you’re obsessed with giant cocks. This is very interesting. A therapist could write a book on you.

Hating an operating system such that someone wouldn’t use it in exchange for a million dollars is quite the flex.

Congratulations! You’ve leveled up in the game of life.

C should show some overflow corruption of the problem graphic.

“Media attention” doesn’t appear on your quote nor the entitreity of that Wikipedia article.

The other two are merely your personal interpretation of how you split the phrase “professed refusal”

Professed can as easily be satisfied by going on a piracy forum and declaring your allegiance to the movement.

Refusal is what piracy is. The act of ignoring copyright law, is the refusal.

“I do not agree with copyright law and will not be restricted by it” – This statement satisfies “professed refusal”

I do not have to petition my senator.

I don’t have to stand on a street corner with a sign.

I will take it further and claim that you or anyone else adding arbitrary rules to how one must practice civil disobedience is antithetical to civil disobedience.

Did you even bother to consult a dictionary before you wrote up this silly gatekeeping nonsense?

There is nothing in the definition of civil disobedience that says it needs to be public.

There is nothing that say we have to openly challenge the authorities.

There is nothing that says we have to get the medias attention.

Where does this expectation come from?

I did not commission these works.

They created their art without a contract between them and I.

Their ability to recover their cost is not my responsibility.

Their right to obtain a profit is capitalist nonsense.

The force of government injecting a contract doesn’t create a moral obligation.

So where does this moral obligation come from?

Is there some religious text indicating the divinity of copyright?

The concept was created from nothing.

Plex with Apple TVs. This requires a lot of transcoding but I have dedicated hardware.

I’ve tried many alternatives over many years but they all eventually annoy me. I’ve been doing this long enough to know eventually something better than Plex will come along but that day has yet to come.

I don’t have any streaming services. They are all terrible and I prefer to put that money towards more hardware, mostly hard drives since my library is of the data hoarding style, ever increasing.

My setup is entirely automated via various watch lists.

IMDb watch lists and Plex watchlists as well as various lists setup to retrieve based on cast / director involvement that feed into Radarr and Sonarr allow titles to be added from my phone.

The added benefit of a my automation setup is that I can lose a hard drive and the system will self heal.

Takes one to know one!

I am going to assume every downvote on your accurate fact based statement is from men who refer to women as females.

Real men know how terrible those betas treat women.

Ok, he was distributing.

That’s not a the same as a torrent.

In the end he got three weeks. 5 million downloads, three weeks.

They control us with fear. You spread the fear.

Fuck copyright and anyone that supports it.

Show me someone who has been criminally charged for sharing copyright content without a profit motive.

Piracy isn’t a crime, it’s a civil concern.

Agreed.

Also, HTML is only meant to be read by a browser’s interpreter which has no problem keeping track of variable names.

Article ends with “I’m not a performance expert at all, but I do like systems and enjoy thinking about their holistic behavior.”

That’s the only take away. Author isn’t a subject matter expert but is going flap on about it anyway.

You would be wrong.

I’ve read the article a couple times now trying to understand why this resonates so hard with some people.

I have tried to bring up what I feel are valid points and the responses are not engaging with what I’ve discussed but acting like I lack the ability to understand.

I get that attacking me is easier than addressing my points; I have the social skills of a software engineer after all.

I like code because there is no arguing. It’s just math.

People on other hand are caught up in emotions and ego, creating anecdotes to fit their biases.

I can’t fix the tangled mess of the human mind, but I can fix the crazy spaghetti code those type of people create.

You at not point attempt to refute any of my points.

You want to feel attacked, nothing I can do about that.

I wasn’t dismissing you but I will now.

Whoever is “protecting” Tim should be replaced by Tim.

Tim doesn’t want to code, that’s fine. Not everyone is cut out to be an individual contributor.

But he is not a senior developer, he is a team lead or a team mentor. He has the wrong title.

You feel dismissed, I say classified.

IT experience is not equivalent to software developer experience.

Machine learning and running high performance are hand in hand.

But machine learning is not software engineering, it tool usage. It’s not the same job title.

I do know why you are taking this comment personally since it wasn’t even directed at you but the other responses.

That was a common sentiment on the hacker news discussion on this story.

I don’t disagree.

Ok, so you’re not a software engineer. That’s good to know.

I did not say it has to be kpi on whatever other jargon you want to throw at it.

Software engineers slogan is: enough time and motivation .

Except when it comes to evaluating ourselves then it’s just not possible.

How can that be?

The bullshit excuses we tell ourselves is how we’ve ended up with ridiculous interview cycles with take home test.

That’s quite a lengthy response for the time between my post and your write up.

Not sure if you’re a bot or just used one to form your thoughts.

Did my best with #3 but I continue to suspect most of the people in these fediverses are very young and therefore inexperienced.

I’ve stated an opinion that aligns with what I’ve read in the hacker news discussion and the responses are aggressive.

Cargo cult is strong here. No discussions will form while the ditto heads carry the majority.

Tim should be fired for insubordinate and his lead should be fired for protecting him.

I get that every shit developer thinks they a Tim or aspires to be one but Tim is a lazy developer doing the fun parts without producing.

Everyone here is assuming Tim is something because you’ve told he is by the lead.

It’s troubling.

I literally said what evidence could be collected.

its hilarious how we spend our careers developing complex algorithms, reducing concepts into math and then delude ourselves into thinking the only algorithm that cannot be written is one that evaluates our own performance.

A beaurocart? Just going to make shit up about me to fit your head cannon?

I never said any of the shit you claimed.

I understand the justification.

I am not convinced.

There is zero evidence that the team performs better or worse since at no point did Tim stop being Tim. There is no base line.

If Tim had tried to pick up some points and the result was the rest of the team stumbling, that would be one thing. Tim didn’t, he kept doing his own thing because his team lead is afraid of Tim.

Tim should be fired.

This is too simplistic in the opposite direction.

What is with the team that Tim is only pairing.

Are they constantly hiring? Are the hires bad?

If Tim unable to transfer his knowledge, basically holding their hand, making bad hires look worth keeping…he’s actually hurting the company.

If Tim is not increasing their solo performance then something is wrong.

Remember Digg? It’s like that except it’s mostly bots.

No. UDP is at the packet level. Interception is a different layer.

To use to today’s language, UDP yeets the packets at you as fast as it can generate them.

It doesn’t care if you catch any of them.

Don’t yeet the baby.
