Yes the difference between integral spin (bosons) and half-integral spin (fermions) particles is one of the most important facts in physics. The two types of particles behave very differently, fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle and therefore act like matter in the sense of exclusively occupying space. Bosons have no exclusion principle and behave like what we typically think of as energy, light for example. Superconductivity and superfluidity are also manifestations of bosonic behavior in collective systems.
> Most kids are 3 feet tall by age three or four. Also, why so many deaths in 2002? Very effective drugs had been widely available for a long time.

Effective HIV suppression is not cheap, and usually out of reach of developing countries or poor communities such as… pretty much all of sub-saharan africa, where the AIDS pandemic remains essentially unchecked.

According to wikipedia, as of 2016, 8 countries had more than 10% of the population infected and two of them (Swaziland / Eswatini and Lesotho) were above 25%: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Africa#/media/File...

Given mother-to-child transmission is somewhere between 15 and 45% without mitigation measures (which are unlikely to be in place in a country where a quarter of the population is infected), we're talking 5~10% of children born infected.
I would rather call this "the subtle dangers of function overloading".

One thing I like about the C (not ++) language is that it's always clear what function that is being called by looking at the function name.
In C++ you have to guess a lot of times (or look very carefully).

There is a reason TSMC is the only fab working on <='7nm' class lithography. It is hard. It also requires massive amounts of capital expenditure. And that's the case when the critical equipment is bought from a different company that's again, in a league of its own.

So even if the 'only' problem is putting the pieces together, that doesn't mean it is even possible. Look at it another way-- same thing can be said about Nuclear Fusion :D

This usage is misleading and surprisingly common because it helps to frame the problem well. To be clear, an "observer" in the quantum context is merely anything which is measuring the outcome of an event. It need not be conscious but it can be.

Having said that, I think you're actually correct to point this out! The cat will obviously have a look around inside the box and likely cause wavefunction collapse. I believe the cat is meant to be fundamentally unable to effect things though.

After all, it's mostly an interesting problem because it posits that anything that could be "alive" inside the box would be in a superposition of alive and dead which is something that's never been observed and probably can't happen due to the unstable nature of wavefunction collapse in the real world.
> intentionally strangling someone for 8+ minutes

That's just it, though. According to the coroner's report, he wasn't strangled.
> And most fresh engineering graduates know nothing about real engineering.

And that's ok, that's why they are supervised by experienced engineers, who in turn in relevant projects with some complexity answer to senior engineers.

But even then screwups might happen, and sometimes it's ok. Nevertheless, unlike the spin that is being given to this disaster, that doesn't mean accidents are desirable or sought after.

Particularly when the accident consisted of exploding the prototype that was already scheduled for flight tests.
> Humans will not make sacrifices to their way of life voluntarily

I don't think that's true at all.

Currently (speaking from the UK at least) people have been making huge sacrifices in their lives for months. Although ostensibly this has been enforced, in reality it is impossible to police and has almost entirely been done voluntarily, through persuasion, and with much popular support. These sacrifices have been far greater than using less water in showers.

> We can’t “conserve” our way out of this. We will need a breakthrough in clean energy tech.

It's no use being defeatist about this when the problem is much greater than the solution.

It's as if at the start of WWII politicians started saying, well, people won't tolerate being conscripted and having rationing, we might as well do nothing.

Incidentally, I've heard wishes for breakthroughs in clean energy tech for decades, and we've since had major advances in things like solar, wind and batteries. We can hope for more advances in the coming years but we shouldn't bank on it - we have the technology already to tackle the problem.

It isn’t true. There isn’t any shortage of renewable energy sources, there’s just a cost of switching to them (and companies and states that depends on the income from the fossil fuels that resist the change).
That's something I hadn't considered before. That's probably something that a lot of people would find valuable.

I'm not sure if this is the case.

I actually set this as an interview question for mid-weight to senior on paper front end engineers and a solid 60% couldn't do it - this was four years ago. Not being able to do this wasn't a "fail" by the way, it was more something to talk around, especially when people successfully reasoned it out without knowing the underlying API, but it did reveal a relatively shallow understanding of the browser environment.

I imagine it is significantly worse now. Do the training course at boot camps take people up from `querySelectorAll` before jumping into React? I'm not sure they do.
>There's definitely a tribal aspect

I disagree, I think it's historical context. The KKK used to infiltrate the police throughout the south. The police aided and abetted domestic terrorism against black people. There are people still living who remember this. It's not tribalism to point out that you are being targeted based on your race and being sensitive to that threat. If you want to call out tribalism, call out the group that is targeting others based on race. They are the tribal ones.

My thinking is that if you can speak for "approximately five minutes" while being strangled, then whatever you subsequently die of is not asphyxiation. I'm certainly open to being corrected on that, but yeah... it's not as if it matters.

You are aware that a shower every week or even clean water for consumption is _not_ available for 30% of "humanity": https://ourworldindata.org/water-access

I am not sure, how "I am gonna give you clean water and one shower a week" is a loosing stance with these people. Granted they are not the typical voters relevant in gerrymandering and co, but they are humans - and since we alle strive for global democracy instead of neocolonialism and imperialism and killing the poor (aren't we?), these people are a significant proportion of humanity.
A lot of people ignore the problem because they don't see a direct correlation between what they do and the damage they are doing, it's conveniently abstracted away from their sight, I don't think gamification per se would help much but in general exposure to ones consequences would.

I just try to do good.

My long game is the afterlife. Every philosophy and religion says that if you do good in this life, the next life will be better. If there is no afterlife, I will have lived a good life at least.

It's also really practical; doing good and helping people costs little and gives you the best deals and connections. It highlights the parasites in your life. It brings you closer to other generous people and pushes away the selfish ones.

Wealth is also a really odd thing - most people with wealth choose to invest it rather than enjoy it. Those who enjoy their wealth, whether it's buying a better car or a gold toilet seat, they mostly enjoy the purchase, but not the state of having the thing they bought.

Spending wealth to help others gives you more of a buyer's high, and you don't have to deal with say, the payments of the more expensive car or the guilt of having a gold toilet seat.

Wealth isn't just cash, but also energy and time. Spending my time and energy on vices feels bad. Whereas spending it to help others - teaching, mentoring, assisting, learning, blogging, these are all good life experiences, whether or not there's a return on investment.

It's tribalism to ignore the fact that others are affected by the same problem. Police rarely face serious consequences regardless of race.

The historical context may justify the tribalism in some eyes, but it may also blind those eyes to the larger problem that affects everyone.

INSTEX has done virtually nothing to weaken the sanctions regime.

The EU would have to take much stronger measures if it was really serious about preventing the US from imposing its sanctions regime on European companies.

I fail to see how they're incompatible. GP's suggestion is a way to put the impact of people's habits in front of them rather than have that information be mixed with a hundred other signals and only available from indicators somewhere in the basement. In the same way you might use a kill-a-watt or 3 to see how much your various devices and appliances are consuming in what mode.

I've "experienced" a hard drive failure on both platforms.

On AWS, I was getting pagerduty'd because the solo gateway box was down, we couldn't ssh in so after an hour of no progress with dubugging or support, we just hit the reset button and hoped for the best. Fortunately this worked and later we where told there has a disk failure.

On GCP, I didn't even know and only discovered it in the logs when I was looking for other audit reasons. Turns out your long-running google VMs are being migrated all of the time and you had no idea. They actually have a policy / SLA around it, basically saying they refresh their entire fleet of servers every 6 weeks iirc. Honestly, if AWS is not doing something like this, I'd have increased concerns about leaky security neighbors (i.e. someone who has a VM running for multiple years without software updates. Hopefully you should be protected on shared servers, but it is software afterall)

He does want things to blow up, but he vary rarely wants this thing to blow up.

If things don't blow up, they're spending too much time being careful, since the cost of being reckless at this stage of development is less than the cost of things blowing up on a regular basis.

If this thing blows up, well now that was just unfortunate. That was a not-entirely-free test article or lawn ornament and now the test failed so they can't be sure that it blowing up didn't hide another issue 10 seconds down the line. Obviously it would have been better if the person on the ground just remembered to check the whatchyamaculit before the test and prevented it from blowing up (which doesn't change the fact that it's not worth it to pay people to check every whatchyamaculit at this stage of development).

Maybe read the article before you comment?

Here's the last two paragraphs:

A thermoelectric heating system that runs on fossil fuels also compares favourably to a large cogeneration power plant, which captures the waste heat of its electricity production and distributes it to individual households for space and water heating. In a thermoelectric heating system, heat and power are produced and consumed on-site. Unlike a central cogeneration power plant, there's no need for an infrastructure to distribute heat and electricity. This saves resources and avoids energy losses during transportation, which amount to between 10 and 20% for heat distribution and between 3 and 10% (or much more in some regions) for power distribution.

A cogeneration power plant is more energy efficient (25-40%) in turning heat into electricity, meaning that in comparison a thermoelectric heating system supplies a larger share of heat and a smaller share of electricity. This is far from problematic, though, because even in Europe 80% of average household energy use goes to space and water heating.

No, actually it’s nothing like that at all.
This sounds similar to the atomic bomb project.

The hardest thing about producing the atomic bomb itself, was to determine if it was actually possible. But once it was achieved, then everyone knew it was possible. So all you had to do was throw more time and money into cracking it. And a little espionage probably didn’t hurt too.

The 5nm EUV, while it sounds cutting edge today, may just need enough time, money, and focus to achieve it.

Someone already achieved it, so we know it is possible. And SMIC may go a different route to achieve the same result, thus giving China independent Intellectual Property rights to it.
