Synanon was just one insane phase of a weird American self-help/productivity/management religion which seems to have started with José Silva and his UltraMind ESP System, almost immediately reached its final form through William Penn Partick and Leadership Dynamics/Holiday Magic, then after Synanon becoming basically the entire 70s with est etc., next during the 80s the self-help book boom and the rise of pop management theory then lasting throughout the 90s, and the TED talk culture now.

If Synanon hadn't tanked, they'd be controlling half of the country by now. Jordan Peterson looks like a Synanon revival from what I hear about him.
Concurring on the rarity of bit rot. I have kept and verified checksums for years, over many terabytes of data, and have never observed bit rot.

Of course I’ve been using btrfs RAID1, so perhaps bit rot has been silently corrected.

And the Replication crisis continues... [1]

Seems like the big secret is small initial sample sizes. For example, the original three Macbeth studies: 60, 27, 32. Later tried with N=153, 148, 266, 210, etc. and surprise surprise...

Another example, the "Power posing will make you act bolder" study, originally with only N=42. Later tried with N=200 by researchers at the Univirsity of Zurich, and the effect disappeared.

And the list goes on [2]

Agree. I saw her live in '79 at the Coliseum in Portland. Backed up by Jaco and Pat Metheny, both of whom performed separate solos that featured them playing against loops recorded in the moment.

Similiar to Dovydas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsOCQFRWUng

She released a live album in 1980 that featured some of these performances. I think there's video on youtube of the Santa Barbara shows.

For me, FZ's Black Napkins guitar solo, live at the Palladium in 1977, ranks as one of his best. It's included in his movie "Baby Snakes." Watermelon in Easter Hay is another that makes you put the pen down and listen.

The sqlite3 database used in redo was just something I threw together in the first few minutes. sqlite was always massive overkill for the problem space, but because it never caused any problems, it's been hard to justify working on it. I'd like to port redo from python to C, though, and then the relative size of depending on a whole database will matter a lot more.
It will use `execvp` (which automatically reads the PATH variable, no shell required) if you use features that require it (like `before_exec` which runs a block of code between `fork` and `exec), but it generally prefers `posix_spawnp` (Which also uses PATH). The relevant code is here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/7d3b9b1640611c52eb949....

All of this is of course Unix specific, on Windows it uses `CreateProcess`.
Perhaps because I live in hope...

The main reason WASM and whatnot might make it easier is that instead of depending on thousands of Javascript libraries the way that so many modern web apps do perhaps a more controlled environment might include a better set of standard libraries and controls.

Also Javascript has evolved at a lightning pace which is remarkable but also makes any complex tooling for it tricky. 10 years ago jquery was the main thing, today React,Vue,Angular and so many other things are front end tools of choice.

But all that may be totally wishful thinking.
I honestly think you didn't understand the article. Let me summarize what I got out of it - we can agree to disagree about the quality of the prose.

In the late 60s, as the early political struggles of the the baby boomers were coming into full flower, Stewart Brand published a series of books about how to build back-to-the-land communes. While they were high quality productions and somewhat influential, they were written based on some mushy political ideologies that have since been discredited. In the present day Brand, now an old man, has realized some of his mistakes and half-heartedly distanced himself from the premises of the "Whole Earth Catalogue". Instead of a sort of pseudo-intellectual hippy libertarianism, he now identifies with the thinking of people like Steven Pinker, another baby boomer, who has written extensively about how despite the obvious growing problems of the early 21st century, everything is actually fine. The author closes by musing on the damage the boomer generation has caused.

The paragraph at the end is not a random addition - it's the point of the article. The point is: Brand had it wrong in the 60s and he has it wrong today. His calls to retreat from politics and build utopian communes in the 60s reflect his panglossian attitude now; in both cases, he washes his hands of the hard work of actually building and surviving the real world.

Also - if you're not familiar with Anna Wiener, I think her best work is the essay "Uncanny Valley": https://nplusonemag.com/issue-25/on-the-fringe/uncanny-valle...
Intel cores have had eight EU ports since Haswell. Zen has a split pipeline, so it's not comparable. Zen has ten units, some µops use multiple EUs (e.g. AGU and ALU).

The Aarey vs. Mumbai Metro Issue
Thanks for the feedback!

You're right that the default settings are pretty skewed towards simple meals. We need to make these options more prominent I think, but if you click the 3-dot menu next to a meal's title, you can change the allowed prep-time and desired "meal complexity".

The meal complexity has a huge impact on what recipes are available, and if you bump a couple meals up to moderate or complex, you'll get a lot more variety. Let me know if that improves things at all for you (I think a lot of the more interesting vegetarian/vegan dishes probably fall under a higher complexity setting).

> In aggregate, oil consumption may drop, but it doesn't account for the possibility that fossil fuel consumption (natural gas, coal) in the energy mix of power generation will rise to meet the increased electricity demands from charging electric cars at home and workplaces.

That's a relevant distinction for climate change, not if you're an oil company, or Russia and OPEC. Pre-tax oil prices are liable to trend lower -- and give countries an opportunity to raise fuel taxes without causing significant consumer harm, reducing oil demand even further.

And the capacity increase is poised to come from mostly non-fossil sources anyway. Expanding coal is preposterous -- solar is already cheaper and the only people who don't hate it for five different reasons are coal mining companies. Natural gas might be expanded somewhat, but even there solar is cheaper, and anyway natural gas releases less carbon per KWh than oil (much less coal) even before accounting for the greater efficiency of electric vehicles.

> At least, until we completely figure out an efficient way to harness renewable energy like solar inside (swappable) batteries.

Electric cars already do this. The batteries hold more charge than the average daily commute, so all that's required is to charge the vehicle during daylight hours.
I believe you have it right.
Odds that all changes are improvements in 10 changes is: (.95)^10
Odds that at least one change is not improvement is:

This seems like a familiar issue I've run into with workstations I've used in the past running Xeons. Not sure how NTOSKRNL handles scheduling of parallel tasks. I'd venture a guess and say it's hybrid (M:N threads), where multiple userland application threads are mapped to some "virtual processor" in kernelmode. That leads to priority inversion between the userland and kernelmode threads, which could explain why Windows benchmarks are terrible when dealing with multiple physical cores.

I’d definitely include the food lab in such a list but I think it likely resonates with the tech/science crowd a bit more than say the general public. Kenji is really thorough and at times scientific in his explanations. I could see it being off putting to someone who just wants to know what works or doesn’t.

In a similar case of you recalling him mentioning the food lab, I believe it was his mentioning of the podcast “Cooking Issues” that made me a subscriber.

No, the best you can do is a find a recent review article.

Only rarely will you find direct replications in the case of medical and social research though, so as a heuristic you can just assume the evidence for everything is weak.

Also, this reminds me of that paper where they "discovered" that if you spray fart smell in a room that people are more disgusted by the thought of a guy rubbing "his bare genitals along the kitten’s body". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562923/
Totally disagree with you. What you're describing is a code monkey, in which case it's a commodity and a race to the bottom.

A "freelancer" that charges top rates will give you all that you say the client should have come up with: they'll sit down with the client, understand where they're coming from and why they're building what they're building, and come up with a complete solution, not just code.

As a freelancer you'll also land much better clients with that approach.
Don't forget: "Disaster Area was a plutonium rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones and was generally regarded as not only the loudest rock band in the Galaxy, but also as being the loudest noise of any kind at all. Regular concert goers judged that the best sound balance was usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles away from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves played their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stayed in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet."[0]

On a more serious note, I did see a band once that I later found out were infamous for their loud gigs. While most in the audience had gone prepared with earplugs, I had none, and for their "finale" (which incidentally didn't feature the band actually on stage presumably because it had become too loud even for them) I had to go outside of the main room and keep my hands over my ears. Even now I sometimes worry that night might have permanently damaged my hearing. The stupid things some people do when they are younger.

I didn't say "observables are not asynchronous", I was referring to the comment "interactions between components are asynchronous" which to me sounds like "event emission and propagation". Propagation is often synchronous when using RxJS 6 which uses by default the recursive scheduler, and with xstream, which is similar. For instance, event emissions along the chain a$.map (f).filter(g).take(10) are synchronous. But I suppose the confusion here is what people mean with "asynchronous". To me it means a set of computations that are allowed to happen sparsely, with other computations potentially happening in between. A lot of people assume that callback-driven code in JS is necessarily async (and maybe that's what you meant with the use of the word), but it's common in the JS reactive programming community to recognize that callbacks can also be executed synchronously, for instance array.forEach(cb) is synchronous although it's callback-based and as such could have been asynchronous through the same cb API.
I’m two years into working from home on my startup, and it’s definitely one of the challenges. I have a co-founder and one full time employee, one in Boston and the other in Chicago.

As for how I cope- I live in Los Angeles and make use of my surroundings. I take walks every day when I need a break. I go grocery shopping. I cook. I break my day up so it’s not just constant business.

I also got a second dog that was a puppy (8 weeks old) and have been raising and training her. Helps to have some activity around the house, and she naturally makes me take breaks throughout the day.

Either way, starting a company is a lonely business. Finding ways to embrace the loneliness and work with it helps a bunch.

That article was written many months/years before Cycle-React interop was built. I still maintain some of those positions because of Redux, but when you take React without Redux, it's just a rendering library, and as such could be theoretically used with Cycle.js. Now that React has good APIs like Context, ForwardRef, and function components, the interop with Cycle.js is easy and well done.

For graphs and data, this published paper[1] is referenced by the book mentioned in the article. I quote the book below[2], which has only slightly more detail than the article (I bought the book hoping to see more data, a waste)

Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice. Antoine Lutz, Lawrence L. Greischar, Nancy B. Rawlings, Matthieu Ricard, and Richard J. Davidson

[2] (from the book)

"Gamma, the very fastest brain wave, occurs when differing brain regions fire in harmony, like moments of insight when different elements of a mental puzzle “click” together… In the yogis, gamma oscillations are a far more prominent feature of their brain activity than in other people… on average the yogis had twenty-five times greater amplitude gamma oscillations during baseline compared to the control group.

"No brain lab had ever before seen gamma oscillations that persist for minutes rather than split seconds, are so strong, and are in synchrony across widespread regions of the brain.

I remember "studies," as well. But I remember the evolution of the supplemental room in American houses going

Library → Study → Den → Play room → Computer room → Home office

Though play room was sometimes a different space entirely, like in an attic. Den → Computer room came naturally because the computer enthusiasts were often men, for whom the den was intended.

What's even more disappointing is that Zen 2 doesn't include support for new techs like the upcoming DDR5 & PCIe 5.0 which seems are going to be supported in Zen 4

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13578/naples-rome-milan-zen-4...

IC: AMD has already committed that Milan, the next generation after Rome, will have the same socket as Rome. Can you make the same commitment with Zen 4 that was shown on the roadmap slides?

MP: We’re certainly committed to that socket continuity through Milan, and we haven’t commented beyond that. Obviously at some point the industry transitions to PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 which will necessitate a socket change.

IC: So one might assume that an intercept might occur with Zen 4?

MP: No comment (!)
> I do aggree that it's pretty high bar in this case though - it's changing the flow, not just improving it.

My whole point is that this is not an improvement, it's actually a worse way to enter a simple datastructure into the computer. It's even worse than using the already established UI paradigm of programs like Paint. Picking a tool and dragging out a box is faster, because you don't have to learn the visual language of how to draw these widgets.

It does look cool, because it makes the computer appear smart, but it's just not a good interface for actual use.
OpenMP Reaches into the Parallel Universe of GPUs
"Oh the places you'll go" :-)

Assuming this chip doesn't trip all over itself moving things around, it will be an astonishing amount of computer power in a reasonably sized package. This is for me, the only reason to work at an internet giant; because they will build a tricked out motherboard with two sockets and up to 8TB of RAM and with say a petabyte of attached non-volatile storage available, field solvers, CFD apps, EM analysis would just melt away. Whether it is designing a rocket engine, or folding a protein, or annealing a semiconductor on the quantum level. So often these programs use approximations to allow them to run in finite time, and now more and more of the approximations are replaced with exact numerical solutions making the models more and more accurate.

Five years from now when people are throwing out these machines to replace them with Zen3 or Zen4 machines, I'm going to be super glad to get one and play with it.
" the incentives are skewed, "

Indeed they are. Did you click on the article? Were you presented with ads? (I will assume you didn't click any).

If so, it served its purpose. If not, you offer no value to the New Yorker.

Of course, you could give publishers money in exchange for content on a monthly basis, thereby incentivizing them to continue to produce stuff you think is worth the money.
In times of Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, and (to a lesser extent) Benjamin Franklin one person could learn a significant portion of total scientific knowledge. That's no longer the case. There could be no more deep generalists.
I think you’re reading too much into it... the candy desk is always a republican because it is on the republican side of the chamber. Perhaps democrats just wanted to be able to grab candy on their side of the chamber. Or they wanted different candy than the one that the republican member had selected for the desk.

Either way, it’s candy, who cares? We’re talking about a workplace candy drawer.

Where I live, if you call 311 after 5pm you get routed to the 911 operator.

I called 311 at 2am once, and had to give the address to the 911 operator because she had no data at all. This was from an AT&T phone, so it's a miracle I got through at all.

(AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are all 1-bar for the 50,000 people near where I live, and they constantly complain about it on the neighborhood web sites. Only Sprint has a good signal, and that's because of old Nextel gub'mint contract towers.)
