It's many orders of magnitude larger than 40 watts * 5 seconds. :)

I have a running bet with some friends that one of the following is true:

(1) The brain is somehow leveraging quantum computing to achieve polynomial or square root acceleration on combinatorial search and optimization problems.

(2) P=NP and there exist polynomial time classical algorithms for these problems.

(3) The naturalistic hypothesis fails and intelligence is somehow "supernatural" and does things that cannot be described or modeled within the confines of physical space-time.

I cannot think of any alternative that can possibly explain how the brain can do what it does on ~40 watts. Everything we have learned to date argues that intelligence and cognition involves a whole lot of massive combinatorial problems that can't possibly be performed classically on so little power.
Plastics also seem to be sponges for toxic materials like PCBs. Even if the plastic turned out to be harmless, it could still be the gun for some pretty nasty bullets.

>There's no more "you" in youtube. The main content feed is high production costs and celebrities, not random clever people.

The main feed by definition doesn't comprise most of the content on Youtube. I'm following close to 500 channels and many if not most of them are not celebrity channels with high production costs, but just someone with a camera and maybe some editing skills.

People need to get over this hipster delusion that quality of production is inversely correlated to quality of content. There's plenty of horrible content on Youtube with low production value from random people (take a look at reaction videos,) and plenty of good content both poorly and well produced.

Any operating system that plans to stop supporting the hardware on devices worth hundreds of dollars (sometimes more) after a mere two to three years is deplorable in my book. I really dislike the iOS experience and its lack of customization, and I find the disposable upgrade cycle of Android phones incredibly wasteful.

Meanwhile, I'm happily running Fedora on a 2011 MBP with the latest security updates. I can't wait until Linux phones reach the level of support and security of laptops and desktops.

> Other uses include squeezing in some "bare-metal" hyper-optimized (by V8) JavaScript into your Python projects, say as a stepping-stone to a full node.js port.

So we resort to having a double GC where one GC is present in Python and another one is in V8 which by reading this "use-case" sounds pretty strange for "bare-metal" applications which begs the question: Why?

There's a reason the deno project switched from Go to Rust to eliminate this problem and I don't see why using this library with Python + V8 for this type of use-case would make any sense.

The harm doesn't start when the proof of harm is found.

Every new thing that has never been seen before has no proof that it does harm until we catch it in the act. Once in a while someone invents nerve agents and kills themselves in the process giving us instant feedback, , but we had whole generations licking radium paint and putting lead in their wine to sweeten it. Cigarettes? No proof of harm even though the harm was obvious.

A stiff sentence: redacting Julian Assange from the record
I think your response comes across as unnecessarily presumptuous and sarcastic. I did read Zinsser (that was a uncharitable blow -- names are misspelled all the time). However just because I have read him does not mean I have assimilated his style or prescriptions, and even if I have, I wouldn't necessarily apply them uniformly in all of my writing.

I will admit I am expressing a subjective preference, not an objective indictment of Zinsser (I did get some value out of the first few chapters). Perhaps this dissenting opinion didn't need to be expressed because in retrospect no value was added because I didn't provide specifics myself (though I could -- I'm happy to make the case). And it's possible that I'm being unfair to the work. So in light of that, I withdraw my statement. But I still don't appreciate your sarcasm.
...These experimental compounds—as well as the steps taken to produce them—were written up in small, peer-reviewed science journals and more or less forgotten, until the underworld began to repurpose these articles as recipes for recreational drugs.

That’s not entirely true. There’s a long and enduring tradition of religious and recreational use of drugs in India (cannabis, charas, opium, datura). It was the British who applied their misguided Victorian morality on indigenous use.
> perpetual, ever-recurring loop of mental chatter, difficult emotions and body sensations

I find this interesting to read because I don't know what such a loop feels like - "blank" is the most common content of my "mental chatter" and "blank" is the emotion I feel most often - only rarely anything else, mostly just when provoked by emotional music, or during times of high stress.

Edit: I guess the "mental chatter" part is simply because I don't think in words, only impressions or concepts, maybe that is why I don't know this sensation...

While I have a vested interest in email[0], all the data suggests it is going strong and will continue to do so. Marketers get better ROI on campaigns over email[1]. Email is used by around 90% of people in the US[2]. SMTP is still protocol available to all and helps prevent walled gardens. Email provides a snapshot of a conversation and lends itself towards archival. Any formal business comms are over email, and I don't see Slack et al replacing that. I think informal comms are switching more away from email though, which is a niche that chat does well with.

I don't see a chat program ever replacing email however. Instead, I see deeper integrations. Email, chat, sms, all working together. I think, eventually, all wanted communications will reach the right people over their preferred channels with data retrievable from any of the channels. Hopefully this can be done with open standards.

> The problem is that many cities simply can't 'grow up' because they weren't designed to do so in the first place.

Pretty much every single city with skyscrapers stands in contradiction to this premise.

No city in history, except those entirely planned ones in China recently, was originally designed to grow upwards. I think you have created a false dichotomy.

Any city can build skyscrapers.

The problems in Seattle and California are neighbors and government, not some ur-plan that makes skyscrapers impossible. Look at the giant ugly salesforce building, for example.

Even ugly, I’d love to see a few dozen more built there.

I'd prefer that you not put words in my mouth when it's such an important concern. I didn't come close to suggesting that news == critical political theory.

Media literacy is actually the opposite of just consuming a lot of news. There is absolutely a skillset that must be developed and exercised which allows an individual to see patterns and tune their BS detector. News - even FOX "news", contextualized - is all necessary and loaded with information. It just isn't the information Rupert Murdoch and pals consciously engineer.

One thing, like you said, accept yourself as your are, do not compare with people on HN, on Linkedin, wherever. There will always be people better then you, the reasons are in genes, nurture, connections, luck. There are lots of people who are less smarter than you as well - will you advise them to keep comparing themselves with yourself? Or rather work with what they have?

Ease your anxiety, find joy in self-development, do not just push yourself harder. You cannot replace your genes, focus on being better then yourself a year ago, not someone else.

Another thing, 10 years of experience - you may be around 30+. It's time to take care more about your physical and mental health, start a family, reflect. You may become more efficient if you start doing diverse activities: build connections, create, write, connect to your emotions. You may regret in future that you spent so many hours on consuming technical literature.

Critical for you is to create rather than consume - you may see it after many years of book reading. In the end, you will have a lot of knowledge in your head, but not much to show the world. You will have a lot of wide knowledge, but will lack the depth. So pick a topic, do not go deep into research - start building naive stuff, then read more, improve, write about it. Any topic you are passionate about.

> 2) Don't get annoyed at my significant other for wasting my time.

I mean, if your SO or anyone that you care about is talking with/to you and you could ever possibly think it's a waste of your time no matter what it is that they are saying, then I think you may need to re-evaluate a few things in the new year.

I know where it is you are coming from here, as I also had the same thought process for a long time. Honestly, you just have to find the right kinda people to be around. If you have siblings or parents, you know how it is that everything that you manage to talk about is interesting in some way and how you both know when it's not. Like, during a TV show/movie you really like, even the 'dull' parts are interesting and you are super pumped that they explored the world of the film/show just a bit more. How you want to learn everything there is to know about Star Wars, Marvel, Python 2.7, etc? Even how a Wookie sneezes or Thor shaves?

Yeah, people that you like to be around that much, those are the people to become romantically involved with. Don't become romantically involved with people that 'waste your time' when they tell you about their issues and problems.

Google and Facebook have been afraid of the risk of regulators for years before the news started calling them the bad guys. Fear has never been a good advisor.

The news have been picked on (lack of) privacy for a few years now. On a side it has helped people to see what happens with their data. But on the other side the campaign against Google and Facebook had gone far beyond the reality of the time. Until the accusations made during this "hate campaign" became the new reality.

As people started to lose trust and "hate" picked up, the news kept going on their crusade picturing Google and Facebook as public enemy number one.

The public believed in the new public image of Google pictured by the newspapers.

As a few years ago as today, every time something bad can be written, the newspapers are going ahead and selectively pick information to write pieces of news with a click-bate title on how bad Google is. That surely gets clicks, and clicks bring page views, and page views bring revenues from advertisers.

The narrative has been clearly the 'Don't Be Evil' company is 'evil'. Google again did the wrong thing: https://gizmodo.com/google-removes-nearly-all-mentions-of-do...

Clearly the most concerned people have been the activist-kind of employees that Google has.

So now the company was attacked not only from the outside but also from the inside.

That made the the company even more reactive. Instead of ignoring the press and reinforce their unique culture, they decided to look at how they could avoid being pictured as the bad guys. But that made their accuser stronger.

There are a few other things that were going in the world and inside Google but I think that this is the biggest driver that turned Google in the hated company that is today.

It became a self fulfilling prophecy. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/31/google-veterans-the-company-...

We've been conditioned to think of inflation as the rising cost of toilet paper and gasoline. But not in other things like stocks, bonds, rents and real estate. In theory the last two are part of orthodox inflation but they are heavily gamed. We've also been conditioned to think in terms of rates but not integrated over time.

You're missing a key component of how dividends tend to work. If a stock it trading at $102 and they announce a $2 dividend, the stock almost immediately drops to $2. If you buy/reinvest that $2 back into the stock, effectively nothing has changed.

I'm inclined to disagree with your assessment. Transcription is to polyphonic pitch detection what machine translation is to OCR. We are okay at the latter, which is what folks like Celemony make their living in. We still suck terribly at the former.

It's not so much someone cutting pot with dangerous drugs. In the past when you bought from someone, even regularly, there'd be that infrequent time where the guy's supplier didn't come through so the quality or amount was less than the time before.

With pot shops, they print out the THC content on every label so you can buy a consistent product at a regular price every time.
People always predict the future from the past, but there are different ways to define a pattern.

Many people think that since the US stock market returned 8-10% for the last ~30 years, then it will for the next 30. This has worried me for a long time for various reasons, but nobody seems interested in my reasons.

However, a new way of looking at things occurred to me recently. In the early 80s, 30 year treasury bonds were ~10%, and with hindsight, stocks were very good buys too. If you bought either one and held until now, you would have made a pretty similar amount. So, if the future resembles the past, maybe what we should expect is that the stock market return for the next 30 years will be the same as the interest on a 30 year treasury today. Nominal, not inflation adjusted, which means ~2.3% is the best case scenario, and civilization collapses if inflation returns. Also, since dividends are about 2% and inflation is not zero, that means after tax returns for non-retirement funds are going to be essentially nothing.
