I've been watching a lot of bonsai YouTubers lately. The amazing thing about trees is how much abuse they will tolerate and still figure out some way to grow. You can find videos of somebody pruning all the leaf-bearing branches and half the roots off of a bonsai like it's nothing, fully expecting the tree to recover. Plants have a very flexible instruction set, something like a list of inner if-statements, which bonsai artists understand almost completely and use to dictate their growth. It seems like the default execution of this instruction set looks like "tree" when there are no particular challenges, but the plant would adapt to almost any trauma short of cutting it down to a 1ft high stump... and even then, you will find stumps growing branches.

Could you develop a bit the last part please? How does it go from "you have accumulating useless proteins in your body" to "you die"?
Is it because too many "good" proteins are turned into "bad" proteins and thus you don't have enough anymore to function properly? Is it because the "bad" proteins somehow "clog" the system? Something else?
It does. But it doesn't protect against:

Just wanted to add my two cents here. This is great advice for classical piano (or any other instrument) practice. It does not apply to Jazz Piano playing at all though, in Jazz you should avoid falling into the trap of repetition. Playing slowly and clean, yes, repetition? Not so much.

Is this true? Elephants walk very far, as a group, to mourn years later the loss of a member from their family, by returning to where it died. Why would we think humans are so special in this regard?

According to your theory, publishing would act as a 'nothing up my sleeve' validation of their model.

Since, you can check this model in the future - you can do it for yourself.

And yet, you seem to be complaining about this publication?

(I still don't agree with this as a principle - since I wouldn't now expect the future to reflect the past, and the authors make no claim to predictive powers when they are identifying that the present is unlike the past)

Agree... but fentanyl wasn’t mentioned.
Quantum physicist here. If two particles are entangled, the very value of the entangled properties does not exist locally (if it did it would be a hidden variable, with crazy consequences, but there are even cases where pre-existing values are forbidden algebraically, like for the GHZ state). Entanglement only gives us a promise of joint behaviour like "if the particles are in the Bell singlet state and we measure them with the same measurement settings, the results are going to be opposite" (notice that the promise is only about the values being opposite, not about what they will be locally). I believe that what Einstein meant by spooky action is exactly about this: that a particle seems to know which settings have been used for the measurement of the other, because if the settings are different then the promise can be broken.

Go is also not that clever, so you can often intuit fairly easily where the allocations are taking place and how to avoid them. As far as optimizing goes, it’s a lot easier to optimize away allocations in Go than in many other languages. I also think this is the right tradeoff—most code isn’t that sensitive to allocations so why make the programmer think about the 100% of the time, rather than opting into thinking about them in order to optimize the hot path?

Yeah, but pronouncing TeX "tek" is a bit of a shibboleth among mathematicians.

Never felt so much relief to hear the world "crypto" as the delivery of the message had me confused and fearing bad things.

When I spoke to the person about it turns out they'd started mining on their own hardware as a hobby and were just curious what the perf diff would be on the work computer's

I’m aware that it’s complicated. I intentionally phrased it in a way that makes it clear that the family moving in is not somehow selected from the set of families with at least one boy, but rather the observation is unrelated.

This is the distinction. I believe that the 1/3 analysis may also be incorrect for the way you phrased your question. If you had said: “we select a second ball, and only observe the first ball if the second is blue — what are the chances of it being blue?”, then the second observation controls the population. Otherwise it’s semantics over exactly what probability we are trying to define?

I think the issue with these questions is that we are asking about “probabilities” which only make sense with repeated iterations. So you always have ambiguity in the construction of the question and interpretation when asking about things that are a “one time” event like both these examples.

The conflict here is that a joke where you include the listener is automatically funnier, and a dick joke is also automatically funnier.

When multiple disparate states evolve towards the same end, you're probably looking at what's known as an attractor - a state in state-space that is a stable local maxima. If evolution is an algorithm that optimises environmental fitness then some combinations of traits will just be really good at survival and reproduction and species with nearby traits will often evolve towards that specific set of traits.

That’s true for the other forces as well! And yet after very careful study we know the electromagnetic field IS quantized, particles of light are photons, and to get them to do the right thing (exhibit interference, for example) you need a quantum mechanical framework.

So why not for gravity too?
>The trick is to find a song you like

This is really a trick. Lately It's difficult to find a song I like. Most of them became boring or let's say not motivating to learn them.

I am really puzzled about what to learn next and I do not know where to get a good advice that is "workable" in my current situation.

I play by ear and can figure out chords for compositions I like and if I can't I may search the internet for the hard parts but usually I am too lazy to do it and it's more interesting to figure it out by myself. Also because lately I see that internet versions are frequently "worse" or even wrong or too primitive ignoring all they beauty of complicated chords.

So I am pleased with what I have on the one hand. On the other hand I am stuck with question what to learn next? I never master pieces to the complete perfection because honestly I do not perform for the public and so I find it hard to motivate myself with that because who needs another moderate piano player these days when there are plenty of trained pianists available? How many chances I have to win competition with "well trained" people? And who would wish to listen unless you are "perfect"? So what is the point? I play for myself or my friends but if I wish some piece to sound better I find it difficult to achieve even though I know that I am more than capable to improve them to a much better level. So I can't reasonably motivate myself as a "performer/future performer" to sit and train for many hours. I've heard that this "many hours training" could also rise my level of understanding theory but I do not see a direct connection between those.

Perhaps I just do not see it and thus do not know how to progress and choose what to learn next to move forward? Any advice?

So do I, but titles don’t mean that you are more worthy, they are just a convention that indicates a particular thing. For example, the titles Mr., Ms., Prof., and so on. Different countries and cultures use titles differently; in some societies, such as in the US, we use the title “Dr.” for someone who has received one of several (earned, not honorary) degrees from an accredited institution. These are the MD, the PhD, and some other degrees that have a D in them, such as the EdD (Biden) and the DrPH (doc. public health)¹. This is so even though these degrees involve little more than vocational programs with two years of coursework.

The right context are things like business cards, listing people’s names on the program of a conference, or any place where you want to indicate someone as a degree holder, to lend a little formality, indicate respect, or try to impress the innocent. It is no more incumbent on you to use the title as it is to use someone’s preferred pronouns. It’s up to you. And to make an issue of it is pitiful and boorish.¹

Tesla is saving the world, but not by selling an increasing number of electric vehicles. Instead, they’ve been the largest seller of electric vehicle credits to other car manufacturers manufacturing electric vehicles [0][1]. In my honest opinion, if Teslas did not invest their efforts into self-driving vehicles (per vehicle costs for LIDAR and other technology, R&D costs, headcount, etc) their base offering for the Model 3 could actually be competitively priced with similar offerings by other car manufacturers. In addition, there would not be any deaths from people putting their faith into FSD/Autopilot (6 deaths as of this writing) [2].

In all fairness, governments should only allow these EV credits to be used by the original car manufacturer that gets them, and they should only give one EV credit per electric vehicle produced.

> What this article is saying is that trees form a polyphyletic group.

This example seems reasonable in that way because there isn't some parallel definition of "tree".

A layman, on hearing that (according to evolutionary biologists) "birds are dinosaurs" might reasonably assume that evolutionary biologists will also say that dolphins are fish. Alas, no -- "dinosuar" has a parallel phylogenetic definition that differs from the lay one, but "fish" doesn't.

Botany is a source of this sort of confusion a lot. Raspberries and strawberries and blackberries are culinary berries, but not botanical berries. (A tomato is a botanical berry, though. -EDIT, said culinary originally.)

I'm of two minds about it. If you need a word, maybe it's best to use an existing one when there's a large overlap. But then again, the closeness of many legal terms ("murder", say) to their lay definitions arguably causes more confusion when those definitions differ. With biologists "just assume their meaning is totally different to yours" is a good heuristic, and with lawyers (or mathematicians talking about "knots" and "sets") the similarity causes perhaps more difficulty.
