Well, that's sort of my point. The current civilization is built upon the average person's intelligence. If suddenly everyone became as intelligent as a 5-year old, current civilization would probably collapse. Ditto if everyone became drastically smarter. The interesting part, however, is what would come next.

Sort the table by Renewables as a percentage of generation. There are countries with flourishing economies running with a majority of renewable power generation.

The intermittency problems for some renewables are being overcome as more solutions are invented and improved. Most new technologies have problems to overcome, so it'd be unrealistic to expect instant & perfect solutions. The speed of innovation here is impressive enough to already be delivering real world solutions which provide energy to communities and countries.

Welcome back! A lot has changed in the 30+ years you were in coma.
I agree that what you say is happening is happening, I think there was some great meta-analysis that showed that p-values were not following a distribution that was statistically possible - like on OkCupid where people that are over 5'10" round up to 6ft.

But I think the underlying reason for the push to publish things - and impactful things are easier to publish, is profit. More hireable grads, more tenured professors publishing papers.
I'm not completely convinced. The argument is due to economies of batching delivery. But restaurants can batch their own deliveries too. That line is the "inventory / order interface" and there's no universal optimal point for it, it will vary according to circumstances. Anyone who sells expensive food may choose to optimise for service, which means delivering themselves. Those who optimise for volume will eventually cut out the expensive middleman.

Adding to which, the most profitable markets are the dense cities where there are already strong incumbents, which goes to pouring in capital as a substitute for building a business organically.
I stopped using social media fairly early on but it wasn’t until recently that I started to replace that time with books. The first year I thought I’d set an easy goal of 6 books. I read 32. Once I started reading I wanted to continue reading. I’m close to 50 books so far this year and my life has been considerably more hectic than last year.

Side Note: Check out your local library and download Libby/Overdrive/Hoopla. You’ll have access to tons of books/magazines/audiobooks/movies for free. They even buy books I request on occasion!
You can test this out yourself, if you're into an endurance sport and have a heart rate monitor nearby. Even low to moderate drinking the night before a run has a significant effect on my heart rate at rest (around 5%) and during exercise (up to 10% higher).

Where moderate drinking means a glas of wine, or two, not a bottle (or two).

Years ago I saw versions of this kind of test at retailers where one of the going concerns is that people above a certain level of intelligence are eliminated not because they are likely to steal but because if they decided to steal from the company they would do so in a way that might not be as easily detected.
Your feelings are really of no consequence compared to those who were victims. If you have a personal interaction to weigh in the positive side of the scales, speak now.
How to fix bug you can't reproduce
The thing is you cannot avoid hiring people for simple jobs, as they're local, physical and cannot be outsourced.

Especially with the latest changes to contracts. The only way here is illegal work, and of course it's illegal and risky for both parties.

Women taking care of children is precisely the desired (by the political party) and expected social result of this policy.
The only forbidden optimization I could come up with is:

x = load-relaxed(a)
...
f(x)

cannot be turned into

x0 = load-relaxed(a)
...
x1 = load-relaxed(a)
f(x1)

while this would be possible with normal memory access.

so under register pressure the compiler would be required to spill something onto the stack instead of just reloading `x` from the original location.

>I'm surprised as to why PornHub haven't already launched a re-skin for regular content. They've clearly got the infrastructure and knowhow to make it work.

Why should they? Porn is where the money is - the mainstream content which is seeking refuge with them is difficult to monetize (otherwise, it would still be on Youtube making moeny) and has an audience that's already willing to move to Pornhub.

"Web Assembly Run Time" = WATT. Hmmm.
Reducing Cost in AWS
>Since Gosling never initiated legal proceedings against RMS, and since the statute of limitations for copyright is three to five years [1], the issue is moot today.

You are wrong on the law.
An ongoing violation keep such a claim alive. The statute of limitations runs from the last violation (or; when a violation was discovered last (the circuits are split here))
A derivative work would be a violation, regardless of whether if "all the code was replaced": it would still be a derived work.

So. If Gosling's claims in the video were true; and his copyright was proper; and there was not a clean-room reimplementation (by someone not having access to his source code) in GNU EMACS (if all this was true):

Then: Current GNU EMACS would /still/ be in violation of Gosling's copyright.

However, the facts are disputed as RMS' EMACS predates Goslings' in the record.

It's like you're not even a lawyer. What do you do with your time strenholme? Make money for your wuuuhhmmann and "your" kids? Who rule over you.
a "law of physics" is a human construction. There's no guarantee the physical universe matches these equations exactly or that there are even exact laws the universe follows. So a violation of a physics law is just physical evidence that disagrees with these constructions.
Could just have been

But yeah, agree that Optional is what I want here.

if let Some(m) := re.match(...)
m.group(1)...

m = re.match(...)
m.group(1) # TypeError because I haven't unwrapped the Optional

In current Python, that last line sometimes throws a runtime error.

You are confusing energy with electricity. In ex, Denmark electricity is only 17% of the energy consumption.

On a global scale wind and solar only handles 1% of all energy consumption and it's not expected to move to more than 3-4% in 2040.

And no the intermittency problem is not being overcome, not even by a long shot, as it's a physical boundaries problem not technology or optimization problem.
I started intermittent fasting, eating all my calories at home at night, and the result is no blood sugar dip or post-lunch fatigue at work.

When you add up the meal prep and time eating every week (for what are generally low quality calories), it's a tremendous time saver, in addition to the productivity boost.
Why would he even have to "admit" to this unless people apply some sort of absurd litmus test to people that says if you are a billionare of a company that wants to understand a group of people who are vehemently opposed to you by meeting with them, then you are a "bad" person?

Reading some of the other comments got me wondering, it seems most people had their IQ test when young, and were told their scores by their parents. I wonder two things, what would happen if they took that test again, would they score similarly now? And what if their parents told them a higher score then they actually did, I can imagine most parents don't want to have the you scored low conversation...
Not if you are snapshotting, this is what I do. Rsync makes this very easy and space saving.

IMHO the drowsiness has nothing to do with calories, it's the carbs and the related blood insulin spike causing drowsiness.

My hint: Experiment with a meal without or with very minimal amount of carbs (for example eat a salad with meat or something like that) - that keeps you full of energy and doesn't drive your productivity down or that is at least how it works for me.
Or, it may not!

Achi – Strategy Game
I see it's attack RMS day 17 today.

I bet Gosling doesn't even like cute young girls, but is happy with whatever women America allows him to be ruled over by (woman is the master in the USA); but all those millions don't get him a virgin young girl as brides.

Even a goat farmer in Afghanistan has such good things.
But a top guy in the USA: no way.

Remember: A man isn't a man unless he rules over others.
RMS rules over the hearts of thousands, maybe more, what does Gosling rule over? And what is it worth if it doesn't get him the traditional pleasures the Prophets knew?

> I also think (though don't have the numbers) that there are many more hobby sites now than there were in, say, 1995, because the whole web is so much bigger.

I severely doubt this. 1995-2004(?), essentially pre-myspace, was an era when many of us had a homepage as a hobby; some went into blogging as well, but still on their own site.

Compare it to the web today: everyone is posting content* on silos and a most don't event bother thinking of a website. Convenience, they say, but reality is that everyone thinks they might be able to make a living out of that hobby.

Let me quote a comment from this very site:
"It's a shame to ruin a perfectly good hobby by making it a job." - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19728367

* "content" in the context of silos is a tricky thing to be honest. When was the last time you saw real, true, honest content, without an agenda, without cat videos, without selfies, on a modern content silo? When I say modern, I mean Facebook, Twitter, Instagram; WordPress and Tumblr are different, being more like providers of websites.

Your original point was about inability to recruit developers. That is why I asked. From my experience it was never a problem for seasoned developer to get a grip on new language barring few very exotic cases. I completely understand other factors in enterprise.
The article argues the replication crisis is somehow unique to psychology, but it's not.

As the Scott Alexander essay makes clear, it also affects psychiatry and it's apparently the case that many areas of medicine have this problem. Biotech studies are also hives of replication failures.

Even AI research has had replication failures and that's based on running theoretically deterministic software on theoretically deterministic machines!

Some of this is that accurately describing studies and replicating them is hard. But some of it is that academics aren't incentivised to find the truth, but rather, to make it appear that academics know a lot of things.

I thought `UnsafeCell` is only exempt from the aliasing rules, not the memory model? I.e. the compiler can use it as it wants, if it can prove that it's not accessed in the meantime (which can be difficult without relying aliasing rules, but possible if the code is simple enough)
I don't think that this principle is directly applicable here. DNA-based inheritance is still 50/50% split and I guess DNA is most important anyway. Although, the epigenetic one (let's assume its overall contribution is <5-10%) may be split according to something similar to Pareto.
'The smell will knock you off your feet': mass mussel die-offs baffle scientists
I don't understand that the walrus has any significance with regards to the `while` loop termination. it's the nature of the evaluated expression that makes a difference, more precisely, whether it will return something that is cast to False.

In that sense, while loops over expressions always require knowledge of the expression to understand the semantic. On the other hand, something like:

while True:
with x as y:
print(y)

would not require understanding of x to understand the intent. Therefore it is not semantically equivalent to:

while x as y:
print(y)

Note that in both cases, `:=` is strictly equivalent to `as` as it is defined for `with`. That is a matter of personal preference.
wow that looks really nice.
actually we mostly do html to pdf, but maybe I can look into your project and try to add it (if there is a nice html/dom library like java has with jsoup).

basically we don't need a lot, mostly switch fonts/text sizes/images (generated barcodes, logos) and of course pdf/a-3(a/b/u) for invoice. so apis that translate the html into the layouting of pdf is the bigger problem.
It is somewhat strange that Python does not have a binary tree in the standard library. I also couldn't find any discussion on the topic either. It might be a nice contribution.

> Too much of that "focus on the effort" and you end up with a generation of bureaucrats

The best things in life typically reward effort spent with incremental results, which come with their own dopamine rush. It's something I wish I had been made to understand at a much earlier age.

Here's a short list:
- Cooking
- Playing an instrument
- Singing
- Painting
- Drawing
- Writing
- Learning (..a language, a new skill, etc)
- Developing and maintaining valuable social and romantic relationships into adulthood
- Any and all sports
- Crafting
- Raising children

The goal obviously isn't to maximize effort, it's simply to reinforce the link between effort and results and help the child understand that they can coast off their natural abilities (as we all have/do), but if they want to improve or excel in something that they enjoy then it will take real effort.

If you look at the top computer systems and networking conferences, you'll see an increasing fraction of the research is from the top Chinese universities. The best Chinese students used to go abroad for their PhD studies. In the last five years or so, this has significantly changed, and Chinese home-grown research is just as innovative as US or European research. I've no reason to believe that aerospace will be any different, except that the lead times are probably quite a bit longer.
Intermittent Fasting (ie skipping breakfast), has been gaining lots of attention latelt as a cheap and easy way to control blood sugar levels and calories (to an extent).

Personally I "skip" breakfast and lunch, eating my first meal at dinner. Late night munchies, my diet kryptonite, land in my eating period so I'm more likely to be hungry enough for proper food.

During the day that means no breakfast before work, no lunch packing, no bad cantinas, and no productivity slumps before or after meals. At night it means I can be a lot more calorie dense with my meals, and feel good about it :)
This is a great approach. And one must resist the urge to "just do it myself" because it'll take too long to explain to someone else or you want it done just right. I used to do that to, as do most software engineer turn founders.

In those cases you should take the time to write a detailed how-to document to complete the task along with a checklist of items that should individually be true/complete in order to call the task as a whole complete. Instructions/code for a human to execute.

That "system" (how to) and "control" (checklist) forms the operational basis for most companies that scale nationally and will remove a significant amount of stress and work for the founder.
Even finding photos or sorting and tagging can be such a chore nowadays. It's also a privacy nightmare if you want to store photos online. God forbid you accidentally upload/archive some photos you did not mean to or realize were in your photos folder..
If the most affordable option is “good enough” instead of bad, it makes sense there’s a narrower distribution for quality.
Interesting. I do remember people complaining about a large file in Firefox profiles, in the context of multi-user host admins wanting to be able to have it in a centrally managed location rather than replicated to every profile. I recall it being a sizable sqlite DB for Safe Browsing. I wonder what that was about, then.
IMHO open software/firmware would already be far more useful, because then you could read discs at a far lower level which greatly aids in data recovery situations; something like the optical disc version of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KryoFlux , in other words.

The hardware in a drive is very high precision but otherwise quite "mundane", as the article shows.
If in 50 years, we find out that the predictions made by our models had been wrong (either the measures we take to reduce CO2 don't lead to the results we expected, or the warming we see is outside of the expected ranges) - in the post-mortem of the models, what would we likely say had gone wrong?

This has already happened. Models developed in the 1990s didn't match what happened in the 21st century. The resulting controversy is called the pause. Why did temperatures stop rising when models said they should continue? We didn't stop putting CO2 in the atmosphere after all.

For better or worse, the controversy was resolved by scientists "correcting" the historical temperature datasets to erase the pause from the record. The data was brought into line with the theory. You can go read old news stories or articles about the pause and look at the temperature graphs in them, then compare to the current, up to date temperature graphs and see that they don't match.

If you like there's a talk here by a guy who started out as a skeptic because he kept spotting errors in studies, and became a peer-reviewed, published climate scientist. He's still a skeptic about the models used to predict the future (he says he thinks the basics of climatology are sound though):

https://www.nicholaslewis.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Lew...

That talk is quite technical but might provide some answers to how the models could be wrong. Ultimately nothing surprising: they're based on major approximations and the underlying datasets may have issues. Go read his papers for more details.
