In that interpretation the article basically says "you can't precisely optimize function F in domain X with by optimizing function F' in domain Y, when cardinality of Y < cardinality of X".

Well, obviously! That is basically the definition of cardinality!
The vast majority of people don’t internalize statistics at all. They go by experiences. So someone they are close to going from healthy and then suddenly falling ill and dying would be what gets people to pay attention. My 82 year old diabetic grandmother who had a quadruple bypass surgery said “if I die I die, and I’ll follow the rules and wear a mask if they tell me to”, this is a died in the wool Democrat of a woman.

The only thing she has seen personally was her ex-husband dying alone in the old folks home because visitation was disallowed. He didn’t get COVID, he died of loneliness, as far as she could tell. So she’s going out to social engagements because she thinks the cure is worse than the disease.

Exactly -- and who knows how invasive these programs are. We have no idea how they work because the companies keep the code private. They could be using the microphone, video camera, keystrokes, mouse movements etc, to feed some dubious pseudoscientific code to predict "cheating" and we're entirely reliant on their claims of robustness of it all--that troubles me.

Without science, all you have is superstition. Also, science lets you extract what wisdom there is in a tradition/ritual instead of throwing the whole baby out with the bathwater.

For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#Classification_and_ef....

Without science, you don't know if it's the slow breathing, the lead-infused tonic, or the oil pulling that's working.

The "Indian bodies of knowledge" get passed through the scrutiny of experimentation and end up living on in practices like slow breathing and mindfulness while we leave harmful superstitions behind like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samskara_(ayurvedic). What's the problem?
The ones I remember most were for stammering/stuttering. It was a mix of breathing from the bottom of your chest, strong posture with shoulders up & a little back, not forcing your ribs up, but feeling them move out horizontally.

The biggest part for becoming a confident public speaker was the psychological side (aside from all the usual stuff about slowing down mentally). Becoming conscious of breathing for just a few seconds before starting works wonders, as does carefully timing awkward to produce sounds/syllables on different parts of the breathing downstroke.

I've been doing this for 30yrs (i wrote 20 initially ... forgot i'm old :) now, slow breathing is the norm at the desk & before speaking to an audience/hosting meetings etc I still have to follow the same steps every time otherwise I start tripping over my tongue.
Worth noting that ESR has spent a huge amount of time on the perfect svn-to-git transition tool.
There's this sorta humorous saying that goes around. Paraphrasing it here:

"We always have about two minutes to live, but breathing resets the clock."
It is remarkable that all of the foreign actors working to affect the election all seem to be working the same way. I happen to agree that this outcome would be worse for us, but it's interesting that none of them think that the alternative could benefit them.

Iran, for example, had a deal that was overturned. Why would they want more of the person who overturned it?

My guess would be that it in general creates dissension among us and general mis-government that provides them opportunities, including reducing our influence with others. But isn't there one of them that might prefer a change?
I forgot about the storage, but the "better camera capabilities" are pretty minor. I watched reviews of both.
Yes and the severity and the true cause of the symptoms is still not set in stone, so you're confused because correlation does not imply causation.

I'm not citing it as a substitute, rather I'm saying that it isn't something you can entirely discount either. And we know for a fact that a lot of published "scientific" studies turn out to be not reproducible too, but people will continue to believe them for a long time regardless.
> The only permanent home of Liberty is in the individual and families.

I agree. It has been unfortunate to see the attacks on individuality when it's the best way to view each other. Group identity has a long history of being evil and rationalizing inhuman or even dehumanizing treatment of out-groups. Liberty being associated with the individual, not a collective, is the peaceful path I believe.

The grand irony of concepts like intersectionality is that when you slice a person enough ways, you end up with an individual. But that leap just hasn't been made it seems and I assume because there is power to be gained by forming and controlling a collective through the seduction of victimhood and grievance.
I'd say that's primarily because those load balancers (assuming some like a Network Load Balancer in AWS for example) are not integrated in the k8s network stack. Cloud load balancers are absolutely an important part of delivering network traffic to your cluster, but the ingress controllers have to "know" a bit more about cluster network topology to serve the purpose they serve. That is, taking incoming traffic from node(s) at a common port and sending it on to a particular service in the cluster.

Projecting from GM Sierra production in a year, and a comment elsewhere that the Edition 1 reserve was one year's production, this could be as many as 200 thousand Hummer EV Edition 1, each at $112K per.

To put this in perspective, there are perhaps 171,670 homeless families in America, according to https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homeless....

That means each person who reserved an Edition 1 could have bought a $30k car instead and the rest of the money could have bought a house for a homeless, resulting in no homeless families in our country. We need to get our priorities straight.

I am all for EVs, but we need them mandated as the norm, not luxury status symbols that cost as much as a house. When they are mandated and gas models aren't sold then manufacturers will make cheaper models to meet the market's demand.

There's a growing sentiment that degrees are the same; it's certainly not the prevailing view.

One part, in my view, is the exceptionally temporary nature of a certificate. A degree typically teaches things that are fairly static.

If you're a biologist, I would expect 90% of the things you learned in college to still be true, or mostly true, when you retire. A certificate, on the other hand, validates that you know this particular thing well, until the next version comes out. Depending on what "thing" is, and when the last version was released, it could be less than a year. So even if I accept that the certificate does mean you know this system really really well, it doesn't mean that's true for very long.

They're also an external validation of your skills, so people who aren't confident in their skills will often mention their certificate when they feel their skills are being challenged. I think this creates a bias in how we view certificate holders. I've noticed the same thing with people who have degrees from prestigious institutions. I've got a bad taste in my mouth from MIT because most of the people who went to MIT and I'm aware that they went to MIT like to bring it up when they don't feel confident. That's not to say everyone who went to MIT is like that; the rest just don't feel the need to constantly mention it, so I don't even know.

They're typically multiple choice as well, which are much easier to fake understanding on. "Which network architecture accommodates X best?" is probably going to be easier to answer than "You have a network with X servers that need Y bandwidth, etc, etc, explain what network architecture you would choose, and why."

And lastly, I think there's a certain sense of derision for certificates for things created in our lifetime. Things that came before us have a sense of tradition that gives them a sense of legitimacy. Of course your accountant needs a degree, they've always had degrees. New things don't have that, so you have to justify why a certification is necessary, and most don't meet the bar. Everyone managed to use GitHub just fine without a certification.
> If, instead of covid, it were a plague with 50% death rate... I doubt people would be having as much "lockdown fatigue" since they would literally see the bodies piling up in their communities.

In a way, I doubt it. Our society takes deliberate steps to hide the sick from public view. That's good in a lot of ways, but one problem is that most people don't get to see the effects that Covid had.

I have enough nurses in my family to know that this is a serious disease.
I wonder if the historians from 100 years ahead, when analyzing this period of time, will not wonder why the society did not react on time for those evident signs of democracy degradation.

As today I use the present to understand better the past, and why we had multiple civil and world wars, and how is that former rich societies supported corrupted politics that ruled against them.

"Disappointment · Section VIII, at the end of the Complaint, is entitled “Request for Relief”. It doesn’t even fill one of the 64 pages... Maybe this is a symptom of me not being an antitrust lawyer, but I’d have hoped for some specific, creative ideas on how to accomplish these good things."

Also not a lawyer, but I listen to enough law podcasts to make a wild guess: if the lawyers ask for specific structural relief, they constrain what the judge is allowed to do. For example, let's assume they ask for Google to be broken up... If they can't build a case strong enough for that to happen, they get no relief and they wasted the case. Or if they don't ask for Google to be broken up, but they make a strong enough case that a judge could decide that's appropriate, it doesn't matter; plaintiff asked for something else, therefore plaintiff believes that something else makes them whole, therefore that's all the judge can and should do to resolve the case. Remember, the whole point of courts is to keep society humming along by exploring how people have been wronged and righting that wrong, and the plaintiff telling you something rights their wrong is a good primary source.

Asking for "Structural relief as needed to cure any anticompetitive harm" leaves it in the judge's court and grants the saddle-point of maximum potential for disruption to Google and maximum potential for some positive outcome.

a) it's cheaper

While I can squint and say that iPhones are probably a luxury item, and hence worthy of higher taxes, these exorbitant taxes extend to laptops as well. I'm again not talking about Macbooks, just a cheap ASUS I might need for work or study. This I think is indeed counterproductive, considering that bulk of India's GDP comes from the services industry.

Enabling the populace to acquire computing resources cheaply will help if the powers that be want to establish a knowledge economy.
To the op:

People here (and, I wouldn't be surprised, elsewhere) are missing the point that I think you are trying to make. And partly as a result you're getting downvoted by the idiot brigade.

To the rest of you:

It's not so much to do with disinformation, which is a separate conversation entirely. It's specifically to do with institutions that we rely on reporting to us more or less "fair and balanced" factual information distorting things by not reporting on everything that is happening within that subject, choosing to only focus on a part of the whole picture that promotes their agenda[1] in a positive light, completely ignoring the other pieces that intertwine that bring about a more "Well, it isn't so black and white" perspective. They are using weak and pathetic framing devices that I'll get into later.

When you start to pick up on this to the degree where you can predict and see how things will unfold, there is little reason for you to actually believe any of the published information. So this isn't just about lizards, it's also about far more basic things that occur day in day out.

And this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. The language that is used is carefully chosen to force you to agree with certain assumptions so that the rest of the piece makes sense, when really, it's nothing more than shitposting by some Opinion section columnist. These assumptions once again come from a place so blatantly obvious to have an agenda[1] that when you start to pick up on it, there is no reason for you to take anything they say anymore as having basis in reality.

That's how trust in media and reporting institutions erodes from people who know how to tell apart what's fact and what's propaganda. And once those people are off your platform, things just go downhill from there.

So, it's much more sinister than the lizards. And focusing on the lizards is just you being naive.

> There may be an objective reason why the ACLU doesn't support armed demonstrations

They flatly do not believe that firearm ownership is an individual right, rather that it is a collective right. This used to be plainly displayed on their website, but I'm having troubles finding it now, and perhaps that narrative has been challenged internally as certain chapters of the ACLU (Nevada comes to mind) have begun recognizing it as an individual right.

Moreover, arms rights challenges that could spur ACLU action haven't ever really come to fruition, such as a ban on arms sales to individuals on the no-fly list for example.

Dude. Hold my beer.

In Argentina, pre pandemic there were people that actually went shopping to Miami, because getting anything Apple - be it an iPhone or a laptop - was cheaper that way.

The iPhone 12 is not for sale here, but let's use the iPhone 11 as an example. In the only "official" store I could find it [0], the price is 184.299 pesos (yes, 184 thousand). If you check the "official" US dolar rate [1] it is around 80 pesos.

But hear me out: The country has so little reserves, that officially buying dollars is limited to 200 dollars per person per month. If you buy something using your credit card outside of the country - be it online or in person - this limit does not apply, but in both cases you have "extra" taxes to pay (Buying or spending dollars is called "dolar turista"). the final rate for this is around 137 pesos (again, [1])

Let's use 140 as the CC rate, for rounding. Considering the same iPhone 11 is around 630 dollars in Amazon, the price in "dolar turista" is 88.060 pesos.

that still leave us around one hundred thousand pesos left to the current street price of the phone. considering I can currently get tickets to Los Angeles [2] for around 60K pesos, that more or less gives me ample room for having a short US holiday when getting the phone (Supposing I can get the VISA to enter the country ;) ).

BTW the reason for this phone to be so expensive is that there's a black market rate for the US dollar (Called the "blue" dollar) and it's rate is currently around 180 pesos. Using this rate, plus the normal taxes and stuff when importing things, we get close to the street price.

> The most concerning part of their experiment was how it distorted their own perceptions and judgment. They’d feel like they had arrived at great epiphanies or accomplished something impressive after solving trivial or obvious problems. They were convinced that their LSD days were full of breakthroughs and leaps forward, when in reality the drug was just making even small tasks feel like great victories. We politely hinted that they should stop when they struggled to keep up in meetings and conversations.

This sounds like extremely distorted cognitive behavior, when microdosing is "supposed to be" done at sub-perceptual levels (suggesting they weren't actually microdosing). Can you give some specific examples of the "great epiphanies", "making even small tasks feel like great victories", "they struggled to keep up in meetings and conversations" that you observed?

> But you have to try and explain the magic.

You don't always have to. Vernor Vinge explains it as, you are allowed one central conceit which frees you to deeply explore some core theme. That single wild assumption has the interesting property of being both inconsequential to the themes you wish to explore and the single thing that makes it all work. A lot of good hard science fiction has this property: there is internal consistency and broad agreement with real world physics but with at most a single unexamined wild assumption from which the consistently handled deviations flow from. The Zones in his Zones of thought or the Bobbles in Across Real-time are examples of this principle applied for excellent effect. Orthogonal by Egan is an interesting one when viewed in this lens, what with it being physically unrealistic but mathematically driven.

A lot of would be hard scifi authors, in the hopes of increased realism, mistakenly add too much unnecessary detail to the detriment of their story or core big idea. On the other hand, if you manage your central conceit well, you might sometimes be able to enlist the imagination of your readers (some of whom will have more technical expertise in the relevant area) to fill in the blanks.

Yes, but the same is true of literally every common disease.
I think is a good example of how the narrative around EV's is shifting.

When Tesla first started to gain traction people talked about them like they were a company that wanted to save the world. People talked about EVs like driving one was an altruistic endeavor for the future of mankind.

Now if someone as, like you said, individualistically isolationist as an EV Hummer can sellout then that's a sign the narrative around EV are changing as they become more mainstream.
