An order of magnitude fewer people died in the atomic bombings than did in the conventional land advance into Germany. Japan had a larger population and more mountainous terrain suitable for defense. Japan intended to expend tens of millions of its own people's lives in operation Ketsugō.

Between letting the Empire of Japan continue to exist without reform, a conventional invasion, and the atomic bombings the last option was by far the most humane.

I don't know what you're going with this line of discussion, but this over-emphasis on the atomic bombings are a common talking point among Japanese apologists and nationalists to try and depict Japan as a victim rather than an aggressor. The atomic bombings, combined, claimed fewer lives than several individual conventional strategic bombing campaigns in both Germany and Japan.

I can think of contexts, especially when n=15(if this was a statistical study on insulin response to artificial sweeteners, people would be saying the sample size is too small to draw conclusions), but I don't know if developing hypothetical scenarios is useful.

What’s Next for the Apple M2 ARM CPU
There's an episode of PBS Space Time about this, "The Speed of Light is NOT About Light" [1], which comes pretty close to making the same points you are making.

It might be useful to watch this earlier episode, "Are Space and Time an Illusion?" [2], first.

There is a later episode (or maybe a couple of them) that go into how interactions with the Higgs field make it so things with mass travel slowed than the speed of causality.

To tie back to the warp drive news, they have an episode that would be a good place to start on warp drives, "Is The Alcubierre Warp Drive Possible?" [3]. There's also "Superluminal Time Travel + Time Warp Challenge Answer" [4], and "Will Wormholes Allow Fast Interstellar Travel?" [5]. A non-warp unknown physics drive that comes up a lot also got an episode, "The EM Drive: Fact or Fantasy?" [6].

There is at least one episode covering interstellar travel without using any unknown physics, "5 REAL Possibilities for Interstellar Travel" [7].

The scope of the series is basically anything vaguely connected to astronomy, cosmology, and quantum mechanics, and the episodes are all pretty short (5-12 minutes), so it is a great thing to watch when you've got a short wait for something.

Here's the series home page [8], and their YouTube channel [9]. Also on the PBS streaming app, for those who like to get their physics on their big screen TVs.

The idea is nice but already the project excludes some types of devices. And also requires delivery of spare parts to professional repair centers. It seems like it will facilitate monopoly for authorized service centers rather than give a real right to repair.

Also since the right to repair is a closed catalog it liberates other manufacturers from providing the right.

At the end it may be a law that will do repair not easier but even harder.
In fairness, PG's statement there is correct if you consider it descriptively rather than prescriptively, for exactly the reason you outlined in your comment. As a positive statement of fact about the current ethos of science it's correct. Less so if you interpret it as a normative imperative.
Depends on what your definition and metric of success. If all academia cares about is citation count then PG makes a good argument.

I moved my company into the Landings complex (just off Rengstorff) in the early 90s (SETI was also there!). SGI and then Alza built their HQs on what was a bean field a few years later. Building 42 is where the old SGI complex was; the only remaining SGI building that still looks something like its original form is the Computer History Museum.

Yep, a lot of the valley land is contaminated thanks to semiconductor production and military use. (in the case of the wheat field next to Intel -- I remember thinking "I hope I never eat something made with that wheat!" That particular map won't display in my browser but I wouldn't be surprised if Ames/Moffet leachate perfused the area, including where the googolplex is now. I worked at Ames for a while when it was a military base and the disposition of chemicals in those days was pretty scary. Where the OSH is now (previously, and briefly Sun Headquarters) was the FMC plant making the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and their chem waste could have leaked across 101 and contaminated that area as well.

When I worked in (the city of) Santa Clara about 10 years ago I worried about the water supply because of all the former semiconductor plants. Luckily the city had a map showing the water system. The residential areas were on Hetch Hetchy water but the industrial areas were on well water. Scary! That was the only time I was willing to pay for bottled water.
good luck with it then :)

Exactly. It's definitely cognitively dissonant to say to someone, "You're wrong, let me see your facts... but I don't have facts about why you're wrong."

I think something to reiterate is that it never goes well when you tell the other person that you disagree with them. A person is not just one idea, they're made from thousands... You're merely disagreeing with one idea, and that should be made clear when you're speaking with them. Regarding the parent comment's terminology of "calling bs", that's a bit of a harsh way to put it, or approach it, if you're trying to reconcile a difference of opinion over a single idea, and not fundamentally pointing at another person and saying, "You are your one bad idea and I don't like either."
That sounds nice! It definitely seems like a better process than 5 interviews of coding + system design and a half assed behavioral thrown in, which is what I'm used to.

No they had no mental problems prior to it.

> artificial sweeteners caused the body to raise its blood sugar because the drink is perceived to be sweet

This is subtly different from the effects claimed by the study, namely that blood sugar can change simply due to the test subject believing that a drink has high sugar content.

Substances other than sugar can affect the sugar balance.

This is why dogs can die from hypoglycemic shock if they consume xylitol. Their body is fooled into thinking its sugar, and the insulin response then evacuates the actual sugar from their bloodstream.
I don't know.

When I see several total stack changes on a resume it sends me a strong signal that the person can adapt and learn.
They aren't arguing that you should simply not trust the majority at all, but that you should be willing to evaluate the majority's beliefs. There are obviously limits on this, and I think you are trying for a far too absolute interpretation of what they were saying.

The programs you mentioned and the ones that are similar all grant a degree that is the same as if you enrolled and showed up to on-campus classes. However, if you have a degree in computer science already, it doesn't really matter to recruiters if you also have a master's degree except for certain specific circumstances. Certainly Georgia Tech and UT Austin are good schools, but they are not top tier schools, so you're not going to get the name recognition benefit that you seem to be looking for anyway. If you're looking for a top job, what would help more is first getting some work experience, and then getting really good at interview questions.

This most likely comes from spending not only a long time but also a large amount of time around 'a certain type of person' more than anything.

Maybe an example is how many people reacted to those workers who delivered packages, food or pumped gas when the pandemic first set in with lock-downs in some states.

Total non expert here but your fascinating question got me thinking out loud.

Two 3D volumes in a 3D space obviously intersect to give another 3D volume, unless they're tangent. So at first glance I'd be tempted to say no, but...

Two overlapping polygons in a 2D space also define another 2D polygon. Two overlapping line segments in a 1D space define another line segment. You only get a reduced-dimension object at the intersection if they're intersecting in a higher dimensional space. Otherwise they can't intersect "at an angle".

So I'd say purely by following the pattern that it must be that two 3D spaces intersecting "at an angle" within a 4D space define a plane by their intersection.
It's possible, though I doubt it. I don't have enough evidence -- anecdotal
or otherwise -- with which to draw a conclusion.
> I was hoping to learn what the metabolic difference is.

Okay sure. But that's not what you said:

Your argument hinged on food being available and consciously choosing not to eat it. That has nothing to do with metabolism.
Sure, as long as know one knows it was obtained online. Since the degree will be no different from one earned on campus it’s general not discernible from the degree alone. That being said, there’s still a level of stigma attached to online schooling vs on-campus from some people. When I asked around about people’s opinion on this sort of thing a while back I got mixed responses. I also imagine it depends on your field. I’ve heard from people in some fields that they’d never take an online degree seriously, but it’s probably a little better for CS.

It's amazing to see how little is focused on training young kids to think independently in early education. In my own experience, even science is taught in a doctrinal way, i.e. we were told to believe what scientists thought and discovered. It seems to me that it's no different from religion--just replace God with Newton. Most students worship scientists but don't study them in details.

It's bad that when those students grow up, they believe science is the absolute truth and they're hostile to people who doubt about it. They become the new priests. And probably today's biggest "scientific doctrine" is big data-people unquestionably believe whatever data tells them without caring about nuance or bothering to think what it implies. Interestingly, it seems most of those people don't have a strong background in science while most trained scientists rarely hold the same view that science is superior and we know everything.
