Somewhat unrelated but I've always had this concept of documenting everyday life down to the most mundane of details (by today's standards).

Archived for a few hundred years that could be pretty interesting for future historians.

Even with how digitized everything is, there is definitely a lot of things that are undocumented (at least consistently in one place) or left out as too obvious.
No because "Brit" is never used as an ethnic slur.

I agree with that, but that's not what the comment said:

> For me the crux of it is that it's only possible for liberal western values to exist in contexts where most people have enough wealth to not have to seriously worry about their physiological- and safety-related needs.[1] And the reason we're at this level of wealth now is only because we've been unsustainably borrowing wealth from the future

Which is rather the opposite of what you're saying, particularly if "unsustainably borrowing from the future" refers to things like fossil fuels.

While your changed hypothesis matches empirical data better than the original hypothesis, I think you have to be careful in how you interpret it. Countries like Norway and the Netherlands have large amounts of fossil fuels, yet are very culturally liberal, even compared to neighbors like Germany. So it doesn't seem to be the case that the presence of natural resources turns cultures away from liberalism, though that's probably not what you meant anyway.

There's the question of the direction of causality. The comment I responded to only considers one direction, but could the other direction not be an important factor? Is it that wealthier societies develop certain kinds of cultures, or is it also that certain kinds of cultures tend to develop more wealth, even in the absence of vast locally available natural resources? For example, if we had an alternative timeline in which Saudi Arabia had no oil yet was rich, isn't it plausible that they'd also have a culture that focuses on scientific inquiry, education, and economic freedom, not because those things are a result of wealth but because they are a prerequisite for it in the absence of natural resources.

There is obviously a relationship between economy and culture, but the relationship is not one-way, and it's far from simple.
Not Microsoft, but my network's expanded significantly including to associates at Microsoft.

Mostly helped by the people I'd normally struggle to contact because they hide away in different buildings, behind different physical and digital security rules, now being much more available for video calls. Appreciate your mileage may vary but it does square with my lived experience.

I've lost some connections with people I only spoke to because we were physically situated together, but that's way outnumbered for me by those I now find more accessible.
It doesn't have to be. It could default to be compiled if used and not being compiled unless use'd. And in the rare case that a trait impl or similar in a module without importing from that module, then you could use `mod`.
Thank you for keeping this wonderful game updated!

IIRC you were also working on a D port of the engine. Did that make it into this release or is it planned for later / not at all?
Cooperation? Are you kidding me? What this is is two contrasting view points (maybe you can describe them as democratic or republican) that can't decide how to manage things and I think the only big mistake we made was shutting down in the first place because there's no way we could have possibly kept things down for more than two months in the first place. So we fucked our economy and made everyone change their behavior to try to save everyone. The problem with that logic, is that is not possible to save everyone in the first place. Stop blaming Trump because this lack of national plan that you believe is possible (which isn't and never will be) is because of all of our politicans suck and cannot agree on a plan you idiot.

> The development, however, is good news for “the Peter Thiel portion of Silicon Valley,” the former official said.

Just out of curiosity, what else comprises the Peter Thiel portion of Silicon Valley?
I think the single greatest change would be an AMT style wealth tax. Hypothetically, set to say 1%/year and owning non productive assets is highly discouraged. That acts as a release valve on endlessly escalating virtual wealth in favor of productive activity. Aka a stock with a 7% dividend sees zero change, but owning a vault of gold becomes a significant expense.

While it might seem to rob the global economy of vast wealth overnight, all physical and intellectual assets are still around. So, if anything it’s simply aligning the economy more closely with reality which should increase efficiency.

I haven't read everything, but it does contain a section about something I'm quite familiar with:

The article says "We compute the hashcode of the entire graph by hashing the multiset of WL labels. With one round, we’re just comparing the degree histogram. The more rounds we add, the more likely we are to detect a symmetry-breaker:", which is not correct.

Repeatedly re-labeling a graph by assigning a unique label to each unique neighborhood histogram, until the corresponding partition reaches a fixpoint would compute the one-dimensional Weisfeiler-Lehman refinement. But there are many non-isomorphic graphs that you cannot tell apart with this! It cannot tell apart any two regular graphs of the same size and degree, and you can easily run into those in practice.

Even if the code would repeat this process until a fixpoint is reached, instead of hoping that 10 iterations suffice, non-isomorphic graphs that result in the same WL partition means that "The more rounds we add, the more likely we are to detect a symmetry-breaker" doesn't hold.

There are also more efficient ways of computing this.

Now apart from one-dimensional WL refinement, where you compute a label from the neighborhood of individual vertices, there is also k-dimensional WL refinement, which very roughly speaking looks at all length k sequences of vertices and computes statistics for those. Here it is true that as k reaches |V| you will be able to tell apart any two non-isomorphic graphs, but only because if k=|V| you're trying all permutations! There is no fixed k that will tell apart any two graphs.

If you want to perform graph isomorphism tests in practice, I'd recommend Traces: http://pallini.di.uniroma1.it/

It combines two-dimensional WL refinement with a recursive search to tell apart all graphs, while using computational group theory algorithms to efficiently prune the search space for graphs with many symmetries. It is very efficient in practice.

It is described in https://arxiv.org/abs/0804.4881 (also linked from the website) and also has references for everything I wrote (modulo any mistakes I made while summarizing).

I'm not disagreeing, but I also don't know what you mean. I'm trying to imagine something, say for example, Sony would have to prevent users from doing on their gaming platform that would otherwise cause millions of American Playstation fans to stop using their consoles. I tried to think of a sports league analogy, but I don't think there are any foreign sports leagues that are popular enough here to make a proper analogy.
I think I may have found it on the wikipedia page for nanotechnology in fiction:

> The 1984 novel Peace on Earth by Stanislaw Lem tells about small bacteria-sized nanorobots looking as normal dust (developed by artificial intelligence placed by humans on the Moon in the era of cold warfare) that has later came to Earth and are replicating, destroying all weapons, modern technology and software, leaving living organisms (as there were no living organisms on the Moon) intact.

It's not a perfect match for your description, nor is it from the 60s, but it was the closest match I could find. Is that the book you were thinking of?

Because the PRC will cut them off if they allow this, and the USA won't if they don't. And, so, serving the interest of capital says “knuckle under to the PRC”.

This is also why Hollywood movie studios do the same thing, and all kinds of other industries.

If you have the connections to send a 33 year old without a science background to head research and engineering at the pentagon things coming true isn't a function of being smart or predicting anything but just being close to money and power.

Making things true by pulling your wallet or smartphone out of the pocket isn't exactly a good proxy for intellect.

Also ironically Taleb's most salient observation is that smart people should be very aware of the fact that the things that actually matter can't really be predicted at all.

I have a different take here: ME1 I loved, it did some incredible world-building and the reveal of the true bad guy will stick with me. However, ME2 is my favourite. It’s an appreciably smaller story, but it’s all about the characters, and they’re engaging people. The first visit to the nightclub is cracking.

ME3? Failure from start to finish. The opening scene just basically says “the last two games were completely irrelevant”. The ending is not only unsatisfying, it relies on stuff that was barely established even in the first game and not even mentioned in the others. It’s a textbook case of failing to stick the landing.

(And the less said about “choose your favourite primary colour” as an ending the better. Should have just had one ending and made it a good one.)

Premature optimization also plays a role. Everyone should start with a notepad and a pencil and move up to something more advanced once they outgrow the most basic method of note taking. It's a bit like buying a top of line DSLR when you're just starting to get into photography.
From the article:

> The power system is the primary limitation here, but it might be possible to use a solar cell to cut down on battery requirements ... with a long-range wireless link and a vision system, it’s possible to add sophisticated vision-based autonomy to tiny robots by doing the computation remotely

Since WiFi can be used to see through walls and ceilings of buildings and homes, using low-cost passive sensors, such devices can be autonomously navigated. E.g. for indoor use, knowing light source locations for charging and camouflage.

From https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235234092... (2020):

Indeed no one cares, not only in the US. When there's a protest against China, Pakistan or the ruling class of India in a major European city, there are 40 people with placards and no white people.

For BLM, during the height of the corona crisis, hundreds of thousands went on demonstrations, 99% white.

The media does a good job of pushing the correct narratives.
Is there a bit of survivorship bias in this? You hear these stories about how some big company poo-pooed some employee's idea, only for that employee to run off and turn it into the next big thing, but you never hear about all the ideas that never quite worked out.

> Seriously, once this is weaponised, discussion of politics on the internet with strangers becomes completely pointless

Quite the opposite, I suspect.

Eventually, to engage in the most persuasive conversations, the AIs will develop a real-time learning mode.

Once that is weaponised, the AIs will be on track to be in charge of running things, or at least greatly influencing how things are run.

What the AIs "think" will matter, if only because people will be listening to them.

Then it will be really important to discuss politics with the AIs.

What about effect of saving on disgusting commute time? That itself trumps everything else imho.
Agreed. Far too often in history books/podcasts/shows you see guesses as to what normal life was like, but they’re just guesses. Because no one bothered writing down exactly what the average Roman went to war wearing or how they lined up or what their tactics were, because the contemporary audience already knew. It would be considered boring and too much information. But 2000 years later, we’re still guessing what the Gallic Wars looked like, sounded like, smelled like. Because it wasn’t important enough to write down.

We still have some of these same issues today, but given the rate of change in technology, we’re talking years instead of centuries or millennia. What was the average life like for a startup employee during the Dotcom era (1995-2001)? I have no idea because I was too young to experience it and I’ve never been able to find any books or accounts of the average daily work life even 20 years ago.
Maybe just default to /24. That is a fairly sensible default and anyone who wants something different should be smart enough to specify a mask.

Workarounds / alternatives for the limitations:

1. You can link between Notes. On a note, click collaborate icon, click add people, in share options tap icon for Copy Link, and then dismiss the To: dialog with the “Copy Link” text top right. Paste that link in another note. Now they’re cross-linked like a wiki. Instead of doing all this, create/use a shortcut.

2. Use Exporter: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12

3. Protect any given note with a key. The note data is encrypted, and stored encrypted anywhere it is stored.

4. Surely changing the background is an optional feature, not a limitation? There are a ton of features Notes doesn’t have, but not having them may not be in the “limitation” category.

I've seen about 50 doctors. I have extensive first hand experience, and what you're saying is not common at all. This is in the USA, although I have many European friends with similar experiences. Universal health care doesn't cover anything but the most basic (read: ineffective) treatments.

Are you sick? Because millions of sick people disagree with you. You can't read about our experience in a book and tell us how things actually work. You have to live it.

And if you work in healthcare, well, you only see the sick people who have the time and financial resources to navigate your tyrannical bureaucracy. And you won't see any sick people with an illness you don't understand, because we learn to stop wasting our time and money with you quickly.

"Doctors do this all the time—they get patients into drug trials, order in drugs from the medical systems of other countries, acquire new-old stock batches of drugs no longer produced, etc."

No, this is not how it's mostly done correctly in practice. Most physics calculations are run at a predetermined frequency, and then the appropriate amount of iterations are done before drawing each frame (it may be zero). And then one can use the reminder of the delta to interpolate positions if needed.

I think very few games run the physics in a different thread, that sounds like asking for trouble.
