> a lot of people too cheerfully declare that Einstein was wrong about quantum mechanics.

Einstein Podolsky and Rosen put down the scientific and theoretical foundation for testing enganglement in Quantum Mechanics.

Treating it like just a horse race where Einstein was "wrong" is missing the contribution they made by designing the experiment (refined by Bell and tested by Aspect).

What is interesting is that Bohr was "correct" but his contribution is mostly a bunch of untestable philosophical nonsense.

The better contribution to science here is Einstein even though nature decided that his hunch was wrong.

And there's a lesson in here somewhere about human nature and how we value people who just make lucky guesses that pay out and we call people who change their mind after more information comes in "flip-floppers".

It’s a fair point but how many engines have been through such an aggressive optimisation and upgrade program? Arguably a bigger brother of Merlin going through the same process should be more efficient.
Exactly. I moved some workloads to AMD, but with Graviton2 out now I’m going straight to it where I can.

You’re correct that the recent uptick is unprecedented, but given that the other graph (shared by Nobel prize winning economist) shows no stable relationship between M2 and inflation, why does it matter? He might be wrong and you might be right, but that graph alone doesn’t tell that story.
I like how it avoids the tired cliché of calling them best practices.
Downsides aside, won't inflation help exports and keep USD-denominated trade attractive?

It's not like we're the only economy suffering. We might be doing the best of the whole lot.
You are crazy if you think Tesla margins are different than other automakers.

They do the exact same thing, and building cars is the worst business there is.

Good idea Larry.
Convinced me that PI is in fact wrong.

I had thought myself sometimes why there was always 2PI everywhere and how PI was half a circle (instead of a whole).
I was always eventually convinced by the PIr^2 = area function that PI must be correct. Also a lot of people thought about it for a long time right?

The example that many other surface area functions have 1/2 in them convinces me that the function should be 1/2 TAU * r^2.

Good luck convincing the rest of us degenerates.
I don't think "async-first" is really all it's cracked up to be. It's great for concurrent I/O (webservers). Not great for writing run-of-the-mill sysadmin scripts like rotating log files, doing file backups, etc. Now instead of just knowing that your cron job is doing something one at a time, suddenly you have all these async things happening and you look at your process table and there's 40 node.js processes trying to compress every log file in the system all at once.

And if you don't want it to do that then you have to start managing the concurrency yourself. I've never had to manage concurrency in a shell script beyond just making sure my crons don't run over each other if they take too long.
It's not created money. We didn't just print this money. The money is printed on collateral, that is private industry traded assets for US dollars.

This graph also completely ignores that the US dollar is the de facto reserve currency of the world, so dividing dollars by US population is fairly meaningless in 2021.

> More beautiful than the stars and galaxies they're blotting out?

Very much yes!

Stars and galaxies are. They are as they always[0] were, and always will be. Blobs of fusing hydrogen very far away. As beautiful as they may be if we could see them better, from where we are, they're just points of light.

(Also, wait a few seconds, the satellites will pass, and you're back to watching the stars behind.)

A constellation of satellites in the sky is also just a bunch of points of light. But it's more than that. It means something. Humans have put it there. Those satellites serve a purpose, and their appearance on the night sky reminds us of the great discoveries and feats of engineering that were necessary to put them there. They're a testament to the ingenuity and potential of mankind, and the promise that one day, our descendants will travel among them.

That's what I see when I see a satellite passing overhead.

> it's like someone admiring the engineering of a cloverleaf exchange running over a buried river

Sure, it's exactly that. A cloverleaf exchange is interesting. It's not something that just happens, and its shape is not random. A river is boring. Also full of insects that try to feast on your blood.

I'm totally serious, by the way. Ever since a kid, I've found nature boring. This actually changed for me in my adulthood - my interest in biology sparked when I realized that life is just molecular nanotechnology that wasn't designed by humans, but could still be eventually understood and controlled.

The lend-lease act was after Stalingrad. And Stalingrad was as much as a founding battle as Boridino (Moscova for French) was against Napoleon. I think the war was won there, and after that it was just a matter of time and Hitler not having the atomic bomb. Without the lend-lease, going on an offensive war would have been harder, but the Soviet tanks were better than their german counterparts (the king tiger was too expensive to produce compared to the IS-2, and while the IS-2M was not really tested in battle, it probably could have faced the king, and the Luftwaffe was tied down trying to capitulate the British.

To me, the Africa campain - pre-torch - and the Stalingrad battle (plus the frontline stabilizing in the East) was enough as long a Japan did not enter the war.

And the British as well as the colonies forces were fundamental at holding Africa, so its not really "USSR won alone", it was more that the US not officially entering the war would not have a huge impact on the final result.

Also the passive resistance and the new management methods, pitting dissociated teams against each other was becoming a serious hindrance on innovation and lost time, as well as flawed design (think USSR quality in the 80s). I think this is inherent to this "natural strength/intuition/cleverness/[insert 'quality' here]" propaganda so used by the far right. If you're taught/led to believe "you're failing because of the jews/tzigans/communists" , when those are not here to take the blame, it become harder on your brain to justify your failures.

Very new Xeon at 3.5GHz. 5.75gbps.

Kernel Wireguard is almost 3gbps.

But Wireguard is mostly held back by the slow crypto implementation, which is CPU-bound.

DPDK only needs dedicated cores for the poll mode drivers, and these days the Intel and mellanox NICs can be run in interrupt mode.
When someone is in the top 3 richest men in the world? Most of the reasons for considering self-diagnosis valid fall apart.

He doesnt lack access for a diagnosis, he can afford to see the doctor.

He doesnt have to worry about any stigma - he's always been "that quirky executive figure" obsessed with buying the title of "Founder".

Unless he wants to fight our world's pathologizing of Autism? And even then, he has the means to do so better with an official diagnosis. The rest of us have to worry about being shoved in a corner, with bosses assuming we're incapable of contributing to a team, and thus any work at a meaningfully profitable scale.

So... Elon doing a self-diagnosis? Feels like it misunderstands the premise.

Then again, we might be misreading his "coming out" moment.
I have no idea how families that earn less than $100k are saving enough money for healthcare expenses / loss of income in their years between 50 and 65 (or whatever age Medicare will start at in the future).

Unless you have a cushy government job with those benefits or a high paying white collar job, those years are the most likely for you to lose income due to age, health reasons, etc and any new job you get probably won’t have any benefits, or decent ones.

The irony is that incongito looks the most distinct of anything because of that.

You'd think there'd be a plugin that gathers some common tracking cookies, and swaps them around with other users. So the adtech firms see a tangled mess of location/IP/interest data.

If the randomization is log enough, the cookies pollute the data while hopefully remaining "conventionally looking" enough that they won't be discarded outright.

The argument is the same well-hashed "Sweden is a counterexample" with mathematical window dressing. Bonus points for chopping the Sweden dataset before the big spike in Swedish cases even though the paper was published after the spike and is still being held up as a flagship example half a year after that.

Like the other anti-lockdown papers I've spot checked, I'm not impressed.

Assuming "itch.io" doesn't advertise sexual content in its entry in the Epic Games Store, what's the difference between it having discoverable sexual content after you download and install it, and Reddit in the Apple Store have the exact same thing? Turning on or off content controls and lying about age (which every single teen knows how to do) are beside the point. The point is whether Apple has any moral high ground whatsoever in pointing out that sexual content is indirectly available in the Epic Games Store.

The way I see it, wealthy people have: more ability to evade being caught and they can operate on a scale that exceeds capacity of ordinary police. Their risks are also somewhat diminished because they have some way to persevere and something to fall on, even with a hefty fine. I imagine that there are people parking in illegal places every time because the fine is marginal to them.

All I'm saying is that the way I see it, there's no correlation between wealth and affinity to crime.

I completely agree with your original comments about lazy writing by the OP. But these all seem besides the point.

Our bodies and minds go through all sorts of states, some cognitively introspectable, some not.

"Happiness", whatever it may be, is what it is and need not conform to your presumptions. That's the point of studying it. Nothing about its fluctuations or the way these are felt by an individual are a problem per se with the research. It just means it's hard to do, and we may not know a whole bunch about it.
Yeah, originally it did work on Firefox, but since migrating to manifest v3 and adding the tab grouping feature (API not available in Firefox), it is unfortunately no longer compatible. If I can in the future I'll definitely try to make something available for Firefox users.

It’s remarkable how similar this is to the argument that an acupuncturist will make is. The modern pharmaceutical industry in many instances has the same issues by the way. Lots of drugs that have questionable efficacy at best.
M2 is a measure of the money supply. There are different measures of the money supply, which roughly speaking are M0 (cash), M1 (M0+current accounts), M2 (M1+savings accounts) and M3 (M2+money market instruments). The fact that they have divided M2 by the population seems a little strange, but basically the graphic shows the amount of "money" (cash+current accounts) per person over a time period in the US.
> Maybe setting a high bar to new edits is not a bad idea.

I agree about this. If you're worried that your edit might get reverted, the trick is to argue for it on the talk page first, wait for any objections to be raised there, then if no one objects, make the edit marking it as "per talk". At that point, it will be very hard for them to just revert, and if they do so without addressing your comments they're breaking Wikipedia policy themselves.

I really don't get bookmarks. You'll spend and endless amount of time categorizing stuff that you then can't find again in them.

Close your tabs. Type keywords you remember to find things from browsing history.

It's like using Gmail search vs a folder structure and 'filing' things.

Like this one dude I know who'd have organized bookmarks. He wants to watch something on Netflix. The structure goes something like this Top level->Media->Streaming Services->Paid->Netflix (also has Prime Video in there). I just type 'n' into my location bar and hit enter because my browser has learned that if something starts with n I usually go to Netflix.
I don't see how you could get a prior over this without some really dubious assumptions. Plus, it's not what GGP described.

from what I know, Flutter is still unusable on iOS because they haven't found a way to fix the extremely janky first load (after install, after upgrade, after reboot) animations.

This problem appeared more than a year ago when Flutter made the switch from OpenGL to Metal on iOS.

FWIW, I'd assume that's "directory entry", the (file name,inode number) pair that's used to associate names of files in a directory with the data structures (inodes) describing those files. Not sure how you'd end with many gigabytes of them though, they're usually on the order of length-of-name + 8-24 bytes IIRC, so that would be around tens of millions of files?
I’m dubious of the papers.

The Lancet paper uses data only up to 1st May 2020, so really not much.

One uses the Imperial College model, which, after looking at the published source code, I am near certain is gibberish. My biases aside, peer review showed that it is very sensitive to input parameters, which is incidentally what the linked paper says about lockdown effects, so hard to take seriously IMHO.

Another says that after subtracting the effect of minor restrictions, the major restrictions had no measurable effect. But surely harsher restrictions are only brought in when rates are going up a lot, so maybe these two effects cancel out? Everyone, except Australia and NZ, avoid harsh lockdowns as much as they can.

Meanwhile, in the UK “2nd lockdown”, which was quite light, the overall R coef for Covid dropped below 1, but remained above 1 for the “British variant”, clearly showing that had the lockdown continued as it was, it would not be effective. Also there are just so many conspicuous timings with new cases peaking 1-2 weeks after harsher lockdowns are introduced, I think it’s hard to dismiss out of hand. Yeah, it’s technically possible that the causality isn’t there but I struggle to believe that.

People usually underestimate how difficult it is to do experiments, especially when you want to get quantitatively consistent results. Physics experiments sound easier than human experiments, but if you really do it and be serious with the numbers, you will find even high school physics experiments are really hard. For example, try to confirm F=ma, or measure local gravity to the third digit.

That's just it, does IQ denote ability to rationally think? Can you be highly irrational and also have a high IQ, because if so then I'd argue that the 130 IQ person would struggle more than the 100 IQ person if the latter were better able to think rationally.

We might assume that IQ translates directly to ability to reason through a problem, but that may not be the case. An 8 lane highway is useless if you're riding a skateboard.
