And I was too. But I wasn't taken out of that hell by the lifestyle coaches, I was taken out of that hell when "good" (knowledgeable and empathetic and available) doctors, who do exist, brought their actual knowledge and experience to my problem. After about 20 excruciating years.

The point is, you don't know if you have a small cut or a fracture. While the bandaid can help the lesser problem, you're going to have a very bad time if you let people advise you to just put bandaids on your fracture.

I'm not saying people shouldn't apply at all general tips, but people need to realize that it should mandatorily come with "and go seek professional help if your suffering is increasing or if it is hard to bear, no matter how long it takes". It should be encouraged, because people who are suffering from various kinds of issues like depression or bpd are likely already not wanting to go due to both psychological factors (anhedonia, anxiety disorders about what they'll find or how their finances affect them, self-abandonment) AND the state of their lives.

High-functioning depression? well there can be a degree of delusion to operate well enough ("It's not that bad" until you flip out). Or not functioning at all? then your income is likely lower than if you were feeling well, thus the financial stress and lack of access to convenient solutions for medical support. And then you just read people saying how they went from couch to being a CEO because they wake up at 5 every day and drink lots of water.. well cool for you, but if you were lucky that it wasn't a fracture that doesn't change the lack of diagnosis of MY thing!
As we are part of the simulation, the code could include routines that make us perceive the simulation as accurate.
It doesn't have to be competitive, it has to be regulated. If coal plants and CO2 emissions heavy processes aren't viable once the cost of sequestering the carbon is charged to the people emitting the carbon, then they should give way to processes that do (or be expensive enough that they're only used when necessary)

We can't solve the crisis by trying our best not to disturb the status quo, things are going to get shaken up a bit.
> Currently, creating this time-and-money saving automation requires a corps of programmers to hand-type and hand-test the endless lines of underlying code

Automated testing wasn’t a rare new thing in 2018. And automating writing of code is...where we got languages higher level than handcoded raw machine code from.

The idea that automation was new to impacting programming in 2018 is launghable. Automation, though, while it chnages the nature of work, also tends to increase output of, and thus demand for, human work, until some other constraint is reached. Automating software development is why it waa different in 2018 than, say, 1955—and also why there is so much higher pay in the field.
As well as concentration camps.
I'm not sure if they would or not. I'm sure they employ security researchers. What I don't know is, if Intel was the first to discover a vulnerability of this size and knew that mitigation would impact performance, whether they would have tried to cover it up. I expect that they would have disclosed the vulnerability as soon as they had a mitigation option.

But Intel wasn't the first to discover the Spectre (and Meltdown), and therefore they were stuck with the disadvantage of having to respond to outsiders discovering a vulnerability, rather than being able to get out in front of it, which is what AMD is doing right now. The end result is the same with both brands: you have to disable speculative execution and take a hit to secure your computer, and I don't think either company should be telling customers not to worry. But AMD has the messaging advantage.
Do ISPs actually do any of this? Does any ISP ever do any of this? I don't think so. Also, no one knows what was the particular thing that pissed off Cloudflare, because it's a black box.

I'll say it again: centralizing the internet around a single company is a terrible idea. Especially so when said company terminates TLS and thus has access to unencrypted traffic.
But what exactly is authoritarian about this? It's not like this is the only truth?
There are no counterpoints because every turing complete simulation can't be made significantly more efficient. Any improvement would contradict the fact complexity classes classes strictly contain but aren't equal to each other. The most efficient way to run a universal turing machine on general input is to just run it.

That's in the abstract, it's 2GJ/ton of carbon. So, it's roughly 1/20 of the energy generated by burning the carbon at the first place.
Germany is hilariously behind other EU nations in regards to internet access and connection speed. After plans for FTTH got scrapped in 1983 (!!) Germany is still using copper telephone lines for the vast majority of its internet users.

While fiber is slowing being deployed there are still voices that oppose it because it's "too expensive". There are still entire industry areas connected over a single 50/10 MBit DSL connection. A company I applied to a few years ago was very proud to tell me that they had just had upgraded their connection from 3/0.3 MBit to 16/1 MBit. This company had 70 employees at that time and was located at the outskirts of a city with >300.000 citizens.

Without it, when your connection gets hung, you lose that session on a remote server and practically you can't get something done through unreliable connections like on a phone without session resurrection.

And if you had several panes open and want to continue working later, are people just resetting its state everytime they leave the remote terminal?

You only need several lines of config or use byobu to get it to work that way.

TL;DR: eating 1 kg of phosphogypsum each day yields 36 mSv/year. Conclusion: very very far from life-threatening ; nobody is going to die or get cancer because of this.

Oh God. This is Fukushima radioactive waters all again. I'm pissed: global warming is serious, and nuclear is our best bet. We dont need this fear-mongering non sense.

Anyway, let's get to the facts and see how radioactive and dangerous this thing actually is. Methodologie from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose, section "Source of radioactivity".

Here is the data:

1. Central Florida phosphogypsum averages 26 pCi/g radium
2. Radium: 10**-7 Sv/Bq

This gives: 26 pCi/g radium * 3.7 * 10**10 Bq/Ci * 10**-7 Sv/Bq (radium) = 0.100 mSv per Kg of phosphogypsum
So, if someone eats 1 kg of phosphogypsum per day, that would be 0.100 * 365 = 36 mSv/year.

Background dose is 5-10 mSv/year, a plane pilot or X-Ray machine operator gets around 25-50 mSv/year, an astronaut something like 500 mSv/year.

So, eating 365 kg per year will yield a higher than background dose, but nothing dangerous. I mean, it's probably dangerous to eat so much of this chemical stuff, but not because of radioactivity.

The FT isn't. The Telegraph certainly is, although it pretends so very hard not to be.
I don't think Bostrom is getting the sample space right in his original argument. One base reality versus potentially many simulated realities isn't the relevant measure.

First, you have to consider all possible realities. We at least assume, if we're in a base reality, we're in one where at least one civilization developed after about 13 billion years or so and it has the ability to run computational simulations, though not even close to simulating a sentient animal brain. We can at least eliminate base realities where that never happens in trying to figure out which we're in.

What about past that? Assuming we're in base reality, how many futures result in becoming able to simulate sentient brains? How many possible presents contain other civilizations? How many time slices of our universe, if it is a base reality, contain more simulated observer moments than non-simulated?

How do you even begin to answer that? It isn't nearly as simple as Bostrom is making it seem. If some base reality civilization gains the ability to simulate but only has the computational capacity to try and trick Rick Sanchez into giving up the secret to making an interdimensional portal, that is several hours worth of one animal's observer moments versus however many some large number I don't know how to express worth of animal observer moments in base reality. There may need to be far, far more simulations than just "more than one" before the relative mass of simulated observer moments gets anywhere near the mass of real observer moments.
It's not that simple. You're falling prey to a common misrepresentation of EU regulations. They were all initially very complex, sometimes looking almost absurd, because they were comprised and based on the bilaterial treaties and regulations of 28 member states. The EU then gradually simplified the regulation over the years.

You'd think that simple combinatorics would make people understand the benefits of this procedure, but unfortunately journalists always picked on the initial complexity of the rules. Especially during the 80s this was a "low hanging fruit" for writing another fun article.

In other words, pick any 28 random countries from the world and write an article that explains all of their import & export regulations, food safety standards, etc. You'll see what you get...
The effects are irreversible. Once the permafrost began to thaw, and that started back in the 80’s, it’s been game over. The permafrost is releasing massive amounts of CO2, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide, in about 10 years the earth itself will be releasing as much greenhouse gasses as humans release.

The entirety of the Paris agreement has been a joke, cap warming? You can’t cap the warming, you need to put the earth into a stable situation to cap the warming, but that’s not possible. The earth’s climate has a number of positive feedback loops running, positive feedback loops don’t stop until either they run out of “fuel” in this case it would be greenhouse gases as the fuel, but with the permafrost thawing it will continue to thaw and release greenhouse gases, causing more warming, causing more gases to be released.

The other way to stop a positive feedback loop is a disruptive event. The climate positive feedback loop is massive so the disruptive event would also need to be massive, like a large meteor hitting the earth, or a super volcano erupting, of course both of those events would kill most life on earth, but it would stop global warming.

All we can do is witness what we’ve set into motion. What I think will happen is that through the acidification of the oceans the phytoplankton population will crash. Phytoplankton is the basis for the entire marine ecosystem, when that population crash happens, the entirety of the marine food chain will collapse quickly. 40% of the world’s population relies on the ocean as their primary source of protein.

Few people understand why they should eliminate those words. In fiction, the writer should be invisible unless they are a narrator. If you are a narrator, do it well, but if you are writing in the third person or omniscient view, don't "break the fourth wall" with editorial words that beg the question of whose judgment the word expresses. Hence the advice to strip out adverbs and re-write sentences that use words with the "-ly" suffix. Each one is a passive, begged question. If there is no person and character with intent associated with the adverb, strip it.

The advice to eliminate superfluous words is not a recipe, it's a joke that is a variation on, if you want to be a good writer, only write the good stuff, or don't publish the bad stuff. Worshipping great writers won't make you a better writer any more than doing a cargo dance will get supplies dropped from the sky. If you want to write, have a story to tell, the rest is editing.

This makes me furious. The employees and directors all go about their lives elsewhere with nary a scratch despite causing such a disaster. This is the problem with capitalism. Privatize profits, socialize losses. The only solution is to force companies to put up bonds or insurance sufficient to ensure this kind of devastation is properly paid for by private parties.

> The UK has similar average broadband speeds compared to e.g. Germany.

German here, please don't use us as a basis to judge Europe!

Our broadband is atrocious, dating back to a decision of then-Chancellor Kohl in the 80s - public antenna-broadcast TV was "too left wing" (=in reality, too critical of his Conservative government), so he scrapped the fibre rollout plan of his predecessor and directed all the funding to cable TV networks where private programs could be aired.

And our mobile networks are atrocious because our red-green government in the early '00s was pressured by Conservatives to obtain a surplus budget ("Schwarze Null") so they extracted 50 billion € in license fees from the operators - money that they subsequently lacked building out the network. And a couple years past that, Merkel's Conservatives gained power - her most infamous line is "Das Internet ist Neuland" (Internet is a new area) in 2013 (!).

I wish I was joking about all of this, we're a goddamn laughing stock. Hopefully we get rid of this bunch in September.

That's how responsibility is shifted always to the next person or institution.

You make your life simple by saying "Cloudflare makes that decision." Cloudflare says "We are merely offering a service here! You don't have to use it, if you think it's wrong." And ISPs say (or should say): "We are here to sell Internet access, not to watch what everyone on the Internet." and may by law not be allowed to look into the traffic.

In the end the user suffers and is discriminated against and no one wants to be responsible.

I would take the position, that each person, who uses Cloudflare, has to live with being responsible for whatever Cloudflare imposes upon users / visitors. The mass of people using Cloudflare services makes the difference. Each person using it adds a little bit to it. It is a collective responsibility.

I've always found it interesting that the 6502 was little endian given that members of the team that designed it worked on the 6800 before, and that was big-endian. I keep meaning to comb through Chuck Peddle / Bill Mensch interviews to see if they comment on what led them to go little endian on the 6502.

EDIT, found it in this forum post on 6502.org http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6369&start=0

"I used to be a big-endian fan until I finally figured out why the 6502 designers switched to little-endian: it let them start the addition of an index to an address on the LSB before the MSB was read, whereas if you read the MSB first you need to wait for the LSB addition before you know if you need to add a carry to it."
This is a really good question, and a bit deeper than it first appears. So here is some semi-educated spitballing (I'm a chemist, but thermodynamics was a while ago):

1. Immediately after ignition, you have a low-volume, high-pressure, high-temperature amount of gas. Sequestration does not aim to turn CO2 back to this exact same state, but only a high-ish, average-temperature state.

2. Combustion often evolves more molecules of gas (look at the formula for the combustion of octane, and remember that water after combustion will be a gas). This increases the pressure, but is not something that needs to be reversed during sequestration.

3. Carbon dioxide isn't bad, but having too much in the atmosphere is. Sequestration doesn't aim to completely reverse the reaction in the first place, it just aims to remove it from the atmosphere so that it can't act as a greenhouse gas.

A bird that was very common when I was a boy is dying now. Why doesn't it just move a few km northwards, to where the temperature is right for it? It doesn't because it needs craggy islands in a shallow sea and the right temperature range.

A lot of species can move, but that doesn't mean that there are many suitable new locations. What we have now has been optimised for the current geography and climate over a long, long time. Shifting all the locations 100km isn't likely to produce as many geography/climate matches.

You could create your own class, then instantiate it, and what you got was different from creating an instance of an object.
