My experience has been completely the opposite. Julia has been frustrating to work with. Most of the time I’m just waiting for precompilation of the packages.

It’s unbelievable that the Julia core devs still haven’t addressed it. It is not fun by any means. Not even tolerable.

I think the Ship of Theseus is a related philosophical thought experiment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

Even without your previous experience, you are literally not the same cells that you were a few years ago. As such, to achieve the same kind of continuity of consciousness and become fully digital, I think one would have to gradually replace their brain.
>The ability to digitize and aggregate the data, and maybe even subject it to some kinds of AI, might result in massive improvement in therapy.

But do we need new therapies? CBT, mindfulness, etc - there are a lot of therapies that work VERY WELL. Especially (and this is anecdotal, from friends), combined with things like replacing alcohol with marijuana, reducing or eliminating caffeine, eating well (avoiding sugar / white bread and other carbs), and getting regular exercise.

But we live in a sick society, where the above are often untenable.

Therapy? That's 1:1, time intensive, and insurance abhors it if a pill can do the job.

Marijuana? Illegal, or expensive and over regulated when legal.

Exercise? Hard to do if you have long hours and a long commute.

Healthy food? Expensive, sometimes hard to cook. (I looked at an Indian recipe book for vegetarian ideas and many of the things I love, like palak paneer, are very labor intensive).

But put someone on antidepressants or other pills that are covered by insurance or purchased in generic? That's a simple solution, so it's what's used, even as patients suffer HORRIFIC symptoms going off these meds when they do not work.

Imagine mustering the courage to ask for help, being given a pill that does not, and makes you have trouble doing the work that gets you insurance.

And then not to mention the therapists themselves - having to find the right one, and that's if you just don't mesh and don't have a very bad experience.

I'd argue a lot of what we call "depression" or "anxiety" are actually quite normal responses to a sick system in desperate need of change and people are often "nudged" by the system to do the "wrong" thing then punished for following the path laid out for them.
It has been my experience that people from some countries share compensation info with their peers from the same country, and people from some other countries don’t share it at all. And some are in the middle: tell friends, don’t tell coworkers.

Seems like the first set of countries should have a negotiating advantage. Not sure if it does but it ought to.

So, I think that norm already exists, but not among all groups.
Yeah I realize most people are moving to get a raise, I'm trying to remind people that one day you'll be old and you'll be grateful to keep your rate.
The difference is that Twitter ostensibly believes the NY Post was posting misinformation to Twitter. They're not disabling an unrelated service just because they don't like the Post's politics. You can disagree with Twitter's take of course, but I don't think the analogy holds.
> Corporations are legal people

That is incorrect. Under some contexts and situations, they are treated and considered the same as people. This is not the same thing. IBM isn't sent a ballot to vote, it is not a "legal person".
I sort of agree, although there are certainly quite a few Julia users who do use it for performance.
On the other hand I much prefer Julia to Python/Numpy/Pandas regardless of speed.
Sorta makes me think that UBS is working on pure financials and not factoring in the actual things depressing Chicago house prices:

- Political and state-level financial stability risk (the entire state is a stock market hiccup away from bankruptcy)

- Catastrophic and increasing murder rate, which is only getting worse (not to mention other less-fatal crime)

- Deteriorating public schools driving wealthy families out, or at least to suburbs

I don't think Chicago is (yet) lined up to be a new Detroit, but there are real reasons to undervalue Chicago house prices right now...

Indeed, it should be good practice for any journalist to download copies of online material they are reporting about (not just video, but anything), for the case that they are being deleted or altered. In the old world, you had a piece of paper or a document that you could store somewhere. An URL is not a way of storing the content, it can always disappear.

> UK gov destroyed the paperwork

You're right. I quoted the parent but it's an important distinction.

> Because both sets of people were treated exactly the same by the system. I.e. inhumanely.

The destroying of paperwork was incompetence rather than inhumanity. The removal of illegal migrants is also not inhuman: it is lawful and reasonable - if you enter a country illegally, you may be kicked out.
In context, particularly given the reference I made to Typed Racket, it should be abundantly clear that I'm referring to the lack of static typing there.

That being said, I think you'll find truly untyped languages hard to come by. Other than assembly, Forth (similar to assembly in many ways), and esolangs such as Befunge (also quite similar to assembly), languages that see widespread use always check types eventually. Checking types eventually is table stakes. Checking types at compile time, before what you wrote has a chance to explode on you in an unpredictable manner when that one branch for an edge case finally gets taken after a few days of uptime, that's the truly desirable feature that not all languages manage to provide.
Ok, so the story about how they obtained the laptop is sketchy. Fine.

What about the actual contents of the laptop? The emails, text messages, photos, and videos?

Nobody from the Biden camp has come out and denied the authenticity of the emails or the text messages that have been published. Why not?

In fact, you have one of Hunter Biden's former business associates who has come out and confirmed the authenticity of some of the materials.
And then you have thought pop in to your head to send your manager an email calling them a fuckhead so your phone makes it happen.
I employ a simple version of the bullet journaling method. I maintain an index at the beginning of the book where I add topics and the page numbers that I have information about it on. Still not ctrl-f speed of course, but I am not flipping through my notebook trying to find the right page. For your situation, I'll probably right down the job reference on the page of the day, and then add a `Job References` entry in the index and add the current page number beside it. At the end of each year, I'll digitize everything important for archival purposes (usually very little), and move over ongoing collections (like book list), to the next notebook.
Another valid use-case is to use the hardware acceleration with your native video player. AFAIK, mpv uses youtube-dl under the hood to play youtube videos. For a long time the video acceleration in browsers wasn't very good for Linux users, so we used players like mpv instead to watch high resolution content.

> I haven't yet really tried to commit to one of these Roam-like tools (is there a word for a note-taking tool where every bullet is a nested note, and they can link to each other?)

This is not a "Roam-like tool" by that description. Notes are basically markdown. A bullet might contain a link to a different note, or you could link to several in a bullet or paragraph, or you could link to none, but using bullets doesn't implicitly create nested notes any more than it normally creates separate nested documents in Markdown.

The additional logic seems more built around the directory structure than bullets.

> I worry that, if I used this, instead of a 2-3 big pages on Topic X, I'd have 50 little notes on Topic X, which, yes, I can find through backlinks, but I would not have felt like I had synthesized.

I haven't used Dendron, just barely installed it and poked around, but it seems like the combination of markdown documents and a heirarchical organization alongside a link graph makes it more straightforward to maintain large bodies of maintained/synthesized content rather than small bits of linked content that are easy to navigate but hard to pull together (which tools that focus on linking between small documents as the main structure do seem to encourage.)
> The NYPost (or basically any news outlet and their readers) became dependent on Twitter on their own choice (or on their own laziness),

I'm curious what exactly you think they could have done to not end up here. I'm not aware of Twitter even offering a paid service that they could use, and network effects mean that failing to publish on Twitter just means that fewer people will see your stuff.
> How could you upload just your brain and be the same person? Need your whole body, surely?. This overlaps with Transporter problem from Star Trek and the Prestige, it's not you who lives in there, just a copy.

I don't think it would be a problem if it isn't the same you or if the old you dies. Linear continuity is rooted in our biology, and this would be something entirely new that requires new ways of thinking about it.

Reconstituting memories and information would be a game changer. Imagine manipulating them! Making them more efficient encodings, removing inaccuracies, etc. (There's a lot of potential for bad here too.) Cloning memories, merging them...

If you're extremely concerned about not being the same person, maybe consciousness can expand to fill a vacuum? I'm not particularly concerned, but there might be ways of dealing with the issue.

This is all so sci-fi that it probably makes the researchers laugh and shake their heads.

I think it's like a language family thing. If your familiar with a C-language (or more accurately, AGOL style) then looking at other C-languages isn't as alien to you. While looking at a LISP family language, it's a different language branch and so you have to learn some new ways of thinking, which can be disorienting.

Ex french & english vs french & indonesian. English and french can recognize words from each other and kind of see some similar grammar rules (the medicine vs. la médecine) while with indonesian those moments are not as frequent.

In Toronto mortgages don't work this way. Fixed rate mortgages are typically 5 year terms. After the term is up they'll have to get the higher interest rate.
This is true, but the deleterious effects are fairly significant.
Youtube-dl had some good notes in their README about legitimate uses and an explanation about how they tried to avoid adding sites that specialized in infringing content, but they really did themselves a legal disservice by explicitly using copyrighted music video content as tests. That will not help their argument at all. Youtube-dl absolutely has important and completely legal uses, reporting being among them, but the law doesn't care whether it CAN be used for legal purposes. The law only cares if the tool was "primarily designed" or "marketed" or "has only limited non-infringing purpose."

On the other hand, I'm no lawyer, but I think there's a (possibly bad) argument that youtube-dl does not violate 17 USC §§1201(a)(2)(a) because it does not circumvent any technological measures to control access to any content. The video is transferred entirely in the clear to any anonymous users that request it. Youtube-dl makes no false claims or breaks no cryptography or encryption. What measure is in place that is being circumvented?

… or you might have been lucky with getting minimal side effects.

Double blinded placebo controls are critical to clinical trials so you shouldn’t be disappointed one way or the other. Even if you are in the control group you’ll have the opportunity to get the vaccine after you’ve helped prove its efficacy and safety.
Not OP but from the reports I have read, people who have been given placebos will be informed if the actual vaccine is found be really effective. This is for ethical concerns (in the sense that it would be unethical to not vaccinate people who have got a placebo if the real vaccine is really effective)
Neal Stephenson wrote a science fiction novel "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell" that came out in 2019 whose plot is about the uploading of people into computer systems. It covers a range of ideas and possibilities with plot lines outside and inside of the computer system. Highly recommended if you are interested in thinking about this topic in more detail. Also a pretty fun read. I still have the last bit of the book to finish.

Price-to-rent and price-to-income ratios are useful metrics in diagnosing if a price rise is a true 'bubble' in the sense of misdirected investment. If the price to own is rising much faster than rentthe assumption is that excess capital is being directed into the market, rather than price rises driven purely by demand for housing. During the Great Bubble of the early 2000s, downpayments shrank and credit quality dropped as riskier and riskier (and blatantly fraudulent) credit practices were employed to prop up the market.
OK interesting, I guess the question is if "use" requires running (not just parsing) arbitrary code? I guess if it's like Python's "import", it does.

Changing the grammar could still be considered static parsing, as long as the change doesn't depend on the values of variables at runtime, e.g. your argv array or something.

I recall Larry Wall saying that Perl 5 was at times confused about the language it was parsing, and the goal was to fix that in Perl 6. I don't have a lot of experience with it, but yeah that claim could be wrong, or at least un-nuanced.
Imo... people should be able to download stuff for free if they’re able to see it for free. The “you can see it but you must watch an ad” model is weird and leads to unenforceable/wacky situations like this

> With respect, I'll defer to the career sociologists and psychologists on the topic, much as I'd defer to the risk management PhD on the topic of risk management.

This isn't a good heuristic, without some way of judging the entire field. Would you defer to expert career scientologists about E-meters? Would it help if they published papers on the topic and held conferences and you picked only the best-cited ones from that process? Why not?

I think the relevant question is: If they were completely wrong about how the world actually works, would this have had any negative consequences for them?

This would lead you to some degree of skepticism of risk management professionals, too. If the risks are small and frequent (like estimating how many car crashes per month) then you can trust that people & methods that are badly wrong will have been weeded out. But when the risks are of rare events (like, say, housing market crashes, or nuclear war) then professionals can pass an entire career without being tested against reality. So you should be wary that the most prominent voices are chosen for reasons other than actually predicting the risk.

And career sociologists, of course, aren't heavily rewarded for accurate predictions.

Okay. That doesn't mean a whole lot at the moment.

The ISPs that allow you to even access Twitter at all are quite deliberately not regulated to this extent, so there's a lot of work to do before we can say that Twitter, of all things, is somehow a public utility without First Amendment rights.

Are the +/- values the distribution of the data rather than the margin of error. So on average the cookie group was still better.

I'd be very surprised if this were true. My iPhone 11 goes head-to-head with my mid-range mirrorless camera setup in most shooting conditions. Modern phone cameras are surprisingly good, really.
> It is beyond insanity and even a crash won't bring it back to reality.

You don't appreciate the power of "crashes" or multi year "slow bleeds". Ultimately housing prices always recovered to their inflation adjusted average, Robert Shiller wrote a lot on this topic. Both from being undervalued and from being overvalued. The only thing that's always unclear is the path.

Note that this implies two exists from the situation, or a combination: CPI will go much higher or nominal housing prices will go much lower. 1970s saw the first variant, 1930s and late 2000s saw the second variant.

Also, if you want to see true insanity compare Chinese big city apartment prices to salaries and CNY interest rates. That is true insanity. No other country comes even close to what's going on there (maybe 1980s Japan? I suppose it's close). It has a lot to do with chinese people having strong conviction in government's support of the market, kinda like the US equity market is now widely believed to be completely supported by whatever means will necessary. Time will tell how much such self-fulfilling illusions last.
