I can't help but think about the Memristor[0] and the symmetry on which it its theoretization was based on:

> Chua in his 1971 paper identified a theoretical symmetry between the non-linear resistor (voltage vs. current), non-linear capacitor (voltage vs. charge), and non-linear inductor (magnetic flux linkage vs. current). From this symmetry he inferred the characteristics of a fourth fundamental non-linear circuit element, linking magnetic flux and charge, which he called the memristor. In contrast to a linear (or non-linear) resistor the memristor has a dynamic relationship between current and voltage including a memory of past voltages or currents. Other scientists had proposed dynamic memory resistors such as the memistor of Bernard Widrow, but Chua introduced a mathematical generality.

How amazing would it be to identify a quirk allowing us to manipulate gravity using flux and charge! I'm probably misunderstanding this as I'm not even grasping the fields these concepts involve, but, one can dream.

The biggest issue is that the Algerian people did not support the tests.

As for the agreement with the Algerian government, it was signed during wartime. Allowing the tests was a condition without which France would have killed more people.

> because naked propaganda spam gets downvoted by the users

This is simply not true, although I suppose it depends on the definition of naked. Here's some random examples - although like anything, whether it qualifies as propaganda depends on one's beliefs:

- When the previous US president wanted to pull out of Syria, or at least scale down the activities there, a bunch of headlines to the effect of "[President's name] abandons the kurds, leaving them to die" were written, and went straight to the top of Reddit. (This is a classic war propaganda technique where there's always an excuse as to why you can't end a certain war, while failing to account for the negative effects of continuing wars, or the facts that many of these "problems" only exist because of previous foreign policy blunders and doubling down on those blunders simply doesn't help)

- Without going down the COVID rabbithole too much, there would routinely be articles that either (a) spread Chinese-state-originated propaganda videos of stuff like "man randomly collapses in the middle of the street", (b) articles that would credulously take China's metrics at face values, (c) scientific publications that immediately denied the possibility of non-naturalistic origins of the virus, (d) articles intended to shame those who don't believe in masking as an intervention, etc

- (This is a fun one since many won't agree) Many articles raced to the top which made just completely wrong statements about the portfolios of firms like Melvin Capital and basically depicted the WSB gamestop fiasco as a classic david vs goliath narrative, instead of the reality which was for a brief period of time it was a real short squeeze and then almost immediately became a classic bubble/pump and dump scenario that had no connection to fundamental asset valuation. (To be clear, in a short squeeze stock prices can easily be pushed past the "intrinsic value", but so long as there's still a squeeze it is not irrational to buy the asset. However, once it's no longer actually a short squeeze and is now just a normal bull-run / bubble, an article selling the david v goliath narrative is now propaganda)

- Here's a headline that's #2 on /r/politics, which I just visited to find the first headline that counts as propaganda in my book: "Conservatives Are Furious Biden Delivered a Non-Insane Presidential Speech" (regardless of what you feel about the speech or conservatives, it should be trivially obvious that they are not furious about a "non-insane" speech)

- Any of the dozens of articles about the "Capitol Hill Insurrection" which grossly exaggerated what occurred as an attempted coup instead of the reality which was a bunch of (largely deluded) self-styled patriots who changed and prayed and took stupid selfies inside the capitol building (note: me saying that it was grossly exaggerated is not the same as saying that there was no wrongdoing, etc)

---

I do think it is true though that "articles which are clearly propaganda to the average user" i.e. one thats go against the status quo of a cite will be downvoted. But propaganda in the other direction won't because they will never think of it as propaganda

Untrue, a significant amount, perhaps even most of it, is exported to China to feed pigs. 73% of Brazilian soybean exports go to China, I wasn't able to find figures on domestic vs export consumption with a cursory search.

Doesn't really undermine your point, except that if you want to save Brazilian rainforest by reducing meat consumption, you'll need to take it up with the Chinese.
Deplatforming is not censorship.

It is declining to sell someone a megaphone.

In particular: it is declining to assist in the amplification of targeted and tuned disinformation.

Our society has very few tools against weaponized big data.

Declining to amplify disinformation is one that is actually effective and easy.
By that logic, we should have given up on the idea of cell phones in the late 20th century[1]. FWIW Motorola released the first commercial mobile phone in 1983.

Several of their, and their subsidiaries, have found to have servers operating out of IP ranges generally assigned to China's APT teams and so on. (Several times. Like this one: [0]).

It's worth noting that the reason given for adding them to the list of companies is to prevent the Military/Civilian fusion that is taken as normal when doing business with China. It does not stop them operating in the US - only investment.

But the explanation is just general relativity... I mean, what does it matter if some other ad hoc theory can explain it too? In my book, if GR explains it that’s the end of it. Sure there may still be a ton of stuff that requires explanation and where dark matter may be a possible explanation, but what can be attributed to GR shall not be attributed to some ad hoc fudge factor.

This has been my impression for a while. I won't be surprised if dark matter stops being necessary for galaxy rotation curves but sticks around to explain the CMB spectrum.
Class D fire extinguishers can be used to put out metal fires. They are expensive however and not all fire departments have access to them.

I very, very much like the idea of DuckDB, but have had many headaches with what I would consider "low-medium" amounts of log data (400 million rows, 180GB+, after stripping out any un-needed text) which works without issue using SQLite, btw, other than the expected slowness of row-oriented storage on the column-aggregate queries that I needed.

I have tried many different ways of importing the data with no luck. Usually it turned into a memory issue. This was irrespective of how I tried to import, whether it was in batches through a script, or using the built-in import functionality, or breaking the data into chunks prior to import, or anything else I tried. I occasionally keep trying to find a way, because I like the idea and features of DuckDB so much.

Of note, MonetDB slurped it right in without issue, but I would much rather use something not so "heavy" like DuckDB.

Also, regarding SQLite, I have DBs with billions of rows that work flawlessly, though not as fast as postgres.

The game theory with the EIP1559 changes is that there will be ample space in blocks to put in transactions, and there will (roughly, under normal circumstances) be just enough transactions in the pool to fill each block. So the miner only has the options of either (A) filling the block with transactions to earn tips or (B) chose to be hostile and generate an empty block, just to have the next miner put the most profitable transactions in the followup block.

Strictly speaking, that's the case all over the world.

The beginning of the year used to be the Spring Equinox, which was March 1st. Somewhere along the line we jumped forward two months and the year started on January 1st, therefore making misnomers of the 7th (septem-ber), 8th (octo-ber), 9th (novem-ber), and 10th month (decem-ber) of the year. January should be the 11th month, and February should be the 12th month, which is why the leap day is on February 29th or the 'last' day of the leap year.

Even the date of the Spring Equinox got out of whack, March 21st instead of March 1st, when the Julian Calendar was changed to the Gregorian Calendar, and we jumped forward by enough days to 'fix' the Calendar. In reality, we should have just added sufficient 'leap days' to keep the Spring Equinox in its rightful place.

Sure, nobody sat down 50 years ago and said this is how we want things to happen, but each individual part was created and the direct interactions are intentional.

For example insurance pays for procedures not the process of doctors filling out insurance forms. That’s by design and ends up having horrifying implications for the healthcare system as doctors often spend more time dealing with insurance than the patient actually needing treatment.

A superhuman intelligence would, basically by definition, have no problem understanding why an evolved being enjoys foods which it specifically co-domesticated itself with. After all, I understand that that, and I'm not superhumanly intelligent, also by definition.

I said co-domesticated and I mean it: a substantial number of humans of European and Nilotic descent have a mutation which makes them able to digest raw milk well into adulthood. I have to rely on the cultural technology of fermenting milk with lactobacillus, sadly.

More severe then a foreign backed coup? I don't disagree that raising term limits is sketchy, but the punishment seems far more worthy of condemnation.
Nope, and simply I don't believe that matters. If you have a meeting with 100 people that doesn't mean you shouldn't talk just because you organized it. Everyone has a voice and an opportunity to state their ideas and concerns.

Sure, OpenGL can be implemented on top of the native efficient APIs.

The biggest problem with OpenGL is the state. It severely affects CPU usage and limits parallelism options. The second problem is poor handling of buffers.

It hardly matters, anyway. Vulkan, D3D 12 and Metal are very similar and almost always used indirectly through a game engine that can take advantage of them.
Always ask for the billing and procedure codes, also known as DGN, ICD10, and CPT/HPCPS

I disputed essentially every bill after my first child was born. Magically, every one was reduced by a substantial amount.

There were literally made up charges they admitted to billing everybody for, but can waive if somebody's insurance doesn't cover it.

No idea how they get away with this stuff. Every hospital in America must have some very good lawyers on staff.
The US government basically claims jurisdiction over the entire global financial system. There are philosophical problems with this stance, but simultaneously the government seems to be trying to lock its own citizens out of that system.

The strategy here, if there is one, baffles me. There seems to be a real cost to taking on US customers. This is just one small facet of a crazy problem.

Do people in America seriously consider it an acceptable trade-off when "Binance blocks U.S. residents from its website"? This just looks like own goal after own goal.
The market for mobile communication was well established. In the mid 80s, car phones were already popular for rich executives and other people who needed to be accessible on the go, and it was the late 90s when flip phones started becoming accessible for middle class. In 2004, polyphonic ringtones raked in $4 billion in sales.

Bitcoin was released in 2009. By that metric, we should be far past the car phone stage by no, but we're still trying to figure out who needs this thing.
"give me money because I have a moral claim to it" is so antithetical to the idea of Ethereum that I support eip 1559 purely on the basis of this terrible argument against it.
That's the wrong paragraph to cite. The parts relevant to Cooperstock's (and similar) work is this:

> Although filled with controversy, the studies of the galactic rotation via general relativity [16,17,18] reach the same basic conclusion of the present paper. Namely, the dragging effect of a gravitomagnetic component (time-space component of the metric) explains the flat rotation curve at large distances, without the recourse to dark matter. The main problem with the general relativistic models is the very limited number of exact solutions of the Einstein field equations [...]

> The calculated motion in the general relativistic approach corresponds to the free-fall of test particles in the assumed metric, without consistently considering the effect of the large galactic mass density distribution on the metric. Actually, this is the same objection that can be made to the classical approach [...]

> Fluid models, as used in the present paper, consider the mean motion of particles in the Vlasov-like collective gravitational field. The gravitoelectromagnetic weak field approximation to general relativity, used in the present paper, leads to a tractable self-consistent solution of the galactic rotation problem.

Yes, I believe, so. One could learn by an injection nothing that couldn't be learned by a hydra.

Or maybe a more complex nervous system could learn something on top of learned by a hydra? I mean all those ancient physiological mechanism are mostly intact in our bodies, they work and body relies on them and uses them. Why not to get more than a simple hydra?

Most modern progressives would not consider Lasch to be a progressive. In the current era, his arguments would be far closer to a typical populist than a typical progressive.

Some even consider him a conservative, of sorts:

https://kirkcenter.org/reviews/christopher-lasch-conservativ...

I'll take a look at the book you mention, but I wouldn't write Lasch off as a progressive (or conservative) if you've never read any of his books, particularly his last one.

Finally, Lasch had no problems with capitalism per se, but with the way modern capitalists (unlike prior capitalists) have for the most part abandoned cultural and community responsibilities, beyond throwing out a few percent of their income into some foundation. Particularly in the last half of his life, he was a capitalist, having dropped any support for socialism in the 1960s.
