Yup, I was also partially inspired by him when coming up with this approach. Definitely the only "productivity guru" who had a mild impact on my workflow.

I recently read a paper [1] by the author of asymetric numerical systems fame, Jarek Duda, which I found a fun dive into what I realized was Bohmian mechanics. It was chuck full of typos and hand waiving, but it was pretty approachable as a short dive through how one might get from basic mechanics of ellipsoid potentials to standard model particles. It posits a view of maximum entropy among all potential paths in space-time in a Lagrangian framework determines physics. Fun to think about, but I'm not sure if anyone has explored enough to see if it really can get to some of the tricky corners of phenomenology.

> Praying Medic misunderstands Bush v Gore. SCOTUS took the extraordinary step in that ruling of declaring the circumstances so unique that the case should not be cited as common-law precedent. Anyone citing it has to explain why the Court should disregard SCOTUS's own guidance not to cite it. Even if they do, its particulars don't generally apply to the cases the Trump campaign is bringing

Bush v Gore isn't intended to apply in the cases the Trump campaign is bringing. It will apply to cases brought against state legislatures by Democrats. However, those cases will be too late to change anything.

> Imposing martial law would simply be the death of American democracy, not some master chess move.

But, blue states and cities are already under martial law, and most Americans can see it. The Insurrection act will end up invoked, like it has been in the past.

> We'd just be another nation where a tyrant tried military force to keep his power illegitimately. Sowing doubt in the legitimate process to justify a power grab is right out of the playbook.

Yet, conservatives see it the other way, where a dictator tried fraud, sedition and treason to seize power illegitimately. Doubt in the legitimate process started the moment election observers were ordered to leave, when counting was stopped the night of Nov. 3rd.

Its only a conspiracy theory until proven. I'm not telling you what should happen, I'm telling you to prepare yourself, because this will happen.
Clojure is oriented towards functional programming, hence no loops, but because it's also a thin abstraction over the JVM, it doesn't provide tail-call elimination, so you can't write traditional functional code the way you would in SML or Scheme. Instead, you have to use the clumsy "recur" construct to work around the JVM's limitations.

It's also less consistent than proper Lisps. For example, it's possible to produce a Java OverflowException using Clojure math operators. Some operations will gracefully upgrade to bignums, but others don't.
Not all registrars include a free domain forwarding, that's the primary motivation for the service.

It is chaotic, I'll give you that. This is a direct reflection of the chaotic state of the Common Lisp community and of all the hard work that is going to be required to bring it to a state of dignity.

I am actively working on bringing about this change, and although I am already fairly effective despite the constant and increasingly blatant sabotage and almost total lack of funding, I would be quite a bit more effective with at least some minimal funding.

You've never heard of identity theft? Or did you ask the same question after Equifax was hacked? I'm not sure I can take that question seriously.

As for ID or no ID, it seems odd that demanding ID, still ends up with all of these airbnb horror stories, yes? Thing is, VRBO checks out landlords more stringently than airbnb, and also charges slightly more.

ID doesn't give control, although I suppose it gives the illusion of it.

With IFERROR, you can just do IFERROR(A2+B2,0)

Information Compression – Why the wrong thing happens
Borat reference?
I agree this is how it was originally defined 15 years ago. But I feel sometime more recently (5-7?) it morphed into the idea that the price of renewables sets a cap on the price of extraction. So rather than the price of oil exploding, demand for it at its regular price point would fall. Now does a year of pandemic slowdown indicate an overarching trend? The article tries to make that point, but crises always bring out the prognosticators.

In mainland europe you just needed to fill a form, after a month you would have your money back.
That's nonsense. A CEO cannot be a jack-of-all-trades and has to lead a large organization and direct many people to do things that they, themselves, cannot do.

And scaling back, a manager of a cross-functional team is at a similar disadvantage. I work in a field where we mix ME, EE, CS/Software Engineering, IT/Ops, and other fields. A team could consist of people from all disciplines. Hell, right now I am learning the basics of astrodynamics so I can write the software related to it, the lead is an AE and can't code to save their life. They're still an effective leader.

In a previous team, the lead could not manage a Linux server, but still had sysadmins in the team. Did that make them an inherently bad leader? No, they deferred to the expertise of those team members. Like a good leader.
Its a little complicated when it comes to impact factors and sub-discipline journals.
In my field, specialized journals on developmental psychology, highly respected journals have an impact factor around 4 or 5, like "Child Development" Psychology journals with impact factors around 2 to 3 are kind of the journals you publish in after trying others first, or if you just have a little study that needs publishing, but the results were not that interesting, or if there are some more serious issues in the design, but still worth publishing, etc. In the past I automatically suspected any journal with an impact factor less than 1 or 2 as being trash, but, it has recently come to my attention that there are highly respected journals with really low impact factors, just because it publishes on a highly specialized subfield, and thus don't get cited as frequently. So all in all, as an outsider, it can be a bit difficult.

One possible way is to refer to SJR rankings by discipline: https://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=2801

but this still fails for the extra specialized journals.

Another possibility is to look at what authors are publishing in the journal. Are they from major research Universities? etc.

But for a general rule of thumb: any journal with an impact over 2 is a legitimate journal, and any journal with an impact of 6 or more is a very solid journal, 9 up are considered top tier, 14 up are elite tiered.

Well, climbing Mt. Everest is also "just moving your arms and legs". But I'm not up to that task!

It's certainly possible in principle, but whether it's possible in practice is part of the challenge. You need enough people that understand the details of the proof, and know how to turn that into a formally verified proof. Such proofs can also become slow, so to keep things practical, you also need to take speed into account.

There won't always be low hanging fruit or a reliable rate of breakthroughs. Peak oil doesn't mean all possible supply on Earth. But rather the point at which one must spend so much energy to extract and develop a barrel of crude that it's net negative, or even just less optimal than alternatives.

Physics has hard limits and the rate of crude accumulating naturally is far below extraction. Besides the oceans have enough acidity and mercury already, they certainly don't need more.

Edit: there not they're
You’re just repeating Tyler Cowen’s libertarian fallacy of assuming the quality of government is constant. A far more interesting question would be testing that belief, which could then lead to you learning which countries do better and why.
> We have a crazy system where people purchase “long-leases” for their flats, you don’t own the flat, your just renting it for a long period of time

Who owns the flats then? A lease of 99 years with rent I would assume easily covers the outright cost of the flat. Seems crazy to me that this system continues to function.
> Peer review is the process by which that judgment is made.

Not if you are yourself a scientist.

Peer review is a social method of establishing the validity of research, but it's not the only method. Another would be collaboration between well-credentialed investigators. Yet another is having the backing of a large-scale professional firm or institution.

Peer review is lauded by people who either (A) don't know anything about research, or (B) do research without stellar credentials or the imprimatur of a large institution. Its chief proponents are the publications and conferences themselves, whose entire business model depends upon a perception of the elevated status of peer review.

Plenty of fictitious and fraudulent claims have been validated by peer review. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scholarly_publishing_s...

If you want to review the research, read it yourself and evaluate the methodology.

I'd like it if the trend became to write business books as a collection of essays rather than around a single topic. I'm sort of imagining Paul Graham's essays bound into a book or something similar. That way it's not unnecessarily verbose, but still long enough to warrant putting into a book.

No, under the original orders, factories were always going to reopen with social distancing as as soon as practical once appropriate health measures were put into place (filters, fans, etc). Musk's antics actually delayed the reopening of factories in California because health officials hadn't contemplated that a billionaire would care so little about his workers or ad PR that he would try to force his workers back into a factory without even attempting the bare minimum to protect their health.

Chruches are only open because the highest court in the land, the surpreme court, overruled the Gov of Cali executive branches restrictions.

Churches have been reopened for indoor services (with limited capacity) since May. The SCOTUS didn't rule on the CA case for the second time until a week ago. Notably, you are ignoring the first time SCOTUS ruled on CA church restrictions, when it upheld the restrictions on indoor services earlier during the lockdowns.

Amazon is from Seattle and Bezos owns the WaPo. It's not conservative.

I do not claim that Amazon or its CEO are conservative. But the overwhelming majority of Amazon's CA employees, it's warehouse workers and delivery drivers,are conservative and live in areas of CA that still have conservative supermajorities.

Simply put, Corona restrictions can easily be viewed as being ideologically based and also be viewed as having been weaponized against opposing political groups in California to hurt them, and its very concerning to see.

Yes, in the same way that HTML5 can be seen as a supercomputer. Notably, conservative governors have issued the same restrictions in red states, which is overwhelming evidence that these restrictions are not ideologically motivated.

I think we both agree that the new restrictions are problematic. You, for ideological reasons, and me, because they're clearly not based on any sort of scientific or empirical evidence. (There is absolutely no reason for subjecting counties like SLO or the OC to the same restrictions as LA County, which has one of the highest spread rates in the world.)
Using terms liberally without defining them, adding numerous items to the browser's history which affects the Back button without it being obvious to the user (due to the way the widgets work), drawing conclusions from data rather than just pointing out correlations, among other issues.
I'm not sure you understood the point I was making, which is that you can't get a loan/mortgage from "bitcoin", you have to go to a separate entity that can offer you a loan/mortgage using bitcoin to mediate the transaction. A "bitcoin bank", if you will. The labor requirements are going to be similar either way.
Absolutely, modern NN architectures have been inspired by biological ones- despite their massive differences.

Even in cases like attention, the modern version (that actually works in GPT-3, AlphaFold2, etc), has little in common with both the english word and what we think of as attention. Its a formula with two matmuls and a softmax: softmax(AB)C. In particular, it doesn't necessarily look anywhere at all- just a weighted sum of the inputs. Nothing like the hard attention used by the human visual cortex.
Its not even that different from a convolution where you allow the weights to be a function of the input.

So the inspiration might have come from humans, but the actual architectures have largely come from pure trial and error, with limited, difficult to explain intuition on what tends to work.
Python and Node both have highly fragmented ecosystems, low quality packages, poor tooling and neither are statically typed, capable of multi-threading in a meaningful way and other then their niches (data science for Python and client-side web for JS) are worse at everything than JVM or CLR.

I understand their attraction, they are "simple" and "easy" languages. But they are not boring. If anything they create a ton of distinctly un-boring problems like build chains, packaging, framework of the week is no longer supported (or has a new incompatible version).

Engineers may like these for whatever reasons, especially before they have tried the higher quality tooling provided by real boring tech but inevitably they lead to projects that either run behind time because of technical issues not related to business problems and/or rot after development is paused and are hard to resuscitate and maintain afterwards.

Also NoSQL doesn't "scale" better than SQL. NoSQL stores can scale better in certain data access patterns but if your data model is inherently relational and you implement it on top of NoSQL all you have done is reinvented a relational store in your application model and likely crippled integrity, scalability and performance in one fell swoop.

I keep trying to imagine a way that a website could inform a user "only these certificates are valid for me", but with a trusted MITM, it just doesn't seem like it's possible.

Whatever content or data the website included, the MITM can just alter it accordingly. Short of a browser knowing what Certificates are allowed for what websites (and the trusted MITM not modifying THAT content) there just isn't a simple way to know that your connection is being monitored or modified.

Short of quantum encryption, is there any simple way to detect such an attack once the user trusts the MITM's CA?
So, what's the better business model for a low-level piece of infrastructure like Docker?
That US oil self sufficiency means that it will get out of the Middle East is a key part of Peter Zeihan’s Disunited Nations. His premise is that the US will disengage from the world no matter who won the election and that will have far reaching ramifications for the world.

A major reason of the ability for the US to do this is energy self sufficiency.

Generally speaking, US fire-safety regulations tend to be more stringent than in other countries. In particular, there is generally a requirement for two independent exit routes whereas many European regulations may permit only one, and the US tends to require wider fire stairwells. Evacuation in US fire-safety stairwells is likely to be quicker and less likely to interfere with firemen access (who have to move in the opposite direction from evacuating residents) to afflicted floors.

In all fairness, examples and context usually would push them out past magazine length. (It's also true that, based on the complaints here about things like recipe embellishments, I'm probably more tolerant than some.)

That said, many/most are padded out. In general, you can't publish a book unless it's 250 pages or so. The economics for publishers apparently just don't work out. Fairly or not, a lot of people at least subconsciously buy by the pound. They're not going to pay $20 for a 50 page book in general.
