The part that I don't get about this is it rests on the narrative that such drastic societal collapse has happened on a grand scale. While small civilizations here and there have collapsed and political orders have gone away and been replaced by others at no point do we see humans descend into mass anarchy only to have to rebuild civilization.

Many doomsayers point to the fall of Rome as a supposed example of a major power falling and descending people into some kind of 'dark age'. There are two problems with this.

Firstly, the Romans didn't feel like they had actually fallen. As far as the people of the empire were concerned they were Roman even after the old roman imperial system went away. Instead of one exact 'date' of the fall of the empire, the empire slowly faded, and didn't really completely end until 1354 AD. By some people's imaginings, it still hasn't ended (namely the Hapsburgs who still claim to be the Holy Roman Emperor).

Secondly, the dark ages as we imagine it didn't exist. The dark ages were not a time of sudden societal collapse. Rather they were a time of major growth. Lots of things happened during the 'dark ages'. Lots of discoveries made. Lots of voyages undertaken. Lots of empires arose and fell (but the people didn't really notice much).

The idea that suddenly everything we know is going to go away and we're all going to have to huddle inside is, in my opinion, not founded in reality. It's sure fun to LARP though.
I haven't had a TV in years, but if I had to get a large display for some reason I'd go for a dedicated large monitor + a set top box or some media centre appliance to actually play the media/tune in to TV. You pay a lot more (I was looking at a Dell 55" monitor for around $5k AUD, where an equivalent size TV is $1K from a name brand manufacturer), but IMHO it's worth it.

Or maybe skip straight to an LED projector, I hear those are nice.

Shouldn’t this also be an indicator of intelligence? It seems often underrepresented.
By what definition of "insurrection" was that not an insurrection?
(although in practice it's suspected to be either aleph-1, which is what the Continuum Hypothesis states, or aleph-2)

There are some arguments that it's "really" much larger, as in greater than aleph-n for any finite n. See https://risingentropy.com/the-continuum-hypothesis-is-false/ (incidentally an excellent blog if you're interested in these sorts of things).
The Mayan calendar also doesn't predict the world would end in 2012.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon#Maya_reference...

There is just one inscription predicting that a particular god would do something (that's not clearly understood) at that time. Charles Mann suggested that it could be just as plausible to interpret the "investiture" when this god comes to Earth as a kind of party or celebration, and not a cataclysm.
I understand they original researchers didn't even validate their models by running them forward from, say, 1600 or 1800. They didn't even try it.
Plenty of ODEs are stable in forward time, but unstable in reverse time. Just because you can run some equations in reverse doesn't mean that the result is relevant.
That’s reasonable advice for growth stage companies aiming for huge user bases.

I work at an Alexa top10k, and our database server is quite small and sits at about 10% load most of the time.

You can grow huge with vertical scaling. Not all the way to “household name” size, but still truly huge. Servers with tens of tb of ram are available by the hour.
The public suffix list is an abomination --- a useful, pragmatic, largely successful abomination, but an abomination nevertheless. The PSL centralizes and makes static a database that should be dynamic and distributed. It's a throwback to the bad old pre-DNS internet where everyone would copy around /etc/hosts files and rely on ad hoc human updating to keep host->address mapping up to date.

The information in the public suffix list belongs in DNS.
She is just an incredible human being. Somehow I doubt that free spirits like herself are compatible with any of the former or existing Governments though.
You can't field-update software which has to pass a hardware-enforced integrity check. This is by design, and is very much a feature (for further reading, look into anti-tamper).

In general, military (electronic) gear is designed to be difficult to repair because repair and reverse-engineer are pretty similar. One radio being out is a small problem. The radio system's crypto being compromised because it was captured and reversed is a big Problem.
Maybe by setting the gyroscope to directional pad and lowering the sensitivity? There are a few ways you could do it, those things likely the most customizable controller ever made.
I haven't read the full paper but there is certainly some new/exciting developments i'm seeing just from scanning. The “Invariant Point Attention" which is described as a novel, geometry-aware and equivariant attention operation is pretty huge.

Something along these lines was speculated to be to be used by Fabian Fuchs [0] soon after the original CASP competition. Basically, it's a huge win for the geometric deep learning people, and indicates an exciting direction for mainstream academia to move in.

I would hope this is blocked simply due to the reduction in competition. Number one player should not be buying anyone.

OTOH my impression was that GloFo stopped short of EUV due to the cost, not that they couldn't do it. Intel might be able to fix that, but I think they're probably going the way of IBM.

Strange that magnesium deficiency doesn’t get mentioned..

Magnesium Status and Stress: The Vicious Circle Concept Revisited

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/12/3672

“ In healthy adults, magnesium sits inside the NMDA receptors, preventing them from being triggered by weak signals that may stimulate your nerve cells unnecessarily. When your magnesium levels are low, fewer NMDA receptors are blocked. This means they are prone to being stimulated more often than necessary.”

> people are still going to be trash even with their actual identity out in the open

This is what shocked the hell out of me as older Gen X and Boomers got into Facebook.

I remember one instance I saw where there was quite a lot of nastiness regarding a series of fights that broke out on a cruise ship off of Australia. Someone involved in it posted a video that his father then shared on Facebook. Then some dude starts posting all these vile racist comments (apparently anti-Lebanese racism is a big problem there) under it. REAL NAME. Basically calling a whole ethnic group criminals on the page of someone whose own son was quite possibly in danger.

I got... curious. I clicked on Racist Dude's profile. Sure enough everything was set to public. He had pictures of his kids. Their names too. Then I got more curious. Less than 5 minutes on Google and I knew what extracurricular activities they were involved in and when they were likely to be there. I felt a little sick at how easy it was to -- can you even call it doxxing when it all hanging out like that?? Anyway, I kept my mouth shut, logged out, tuned out, dropped out.

I still wonder what Racist Dude's best case scenario was there. Even if his vile opinions were 100% true... congratulations on insulting a large family of criminals while exposing everything about yourself?? It boggles the mind. Don't ever try to steelman the ravings of a psychopath.

To me, apps that end up simply being translators for JSON conversion are poorly built or feature poor.

There is only so much you can do with moving data around.

Also, my approach to web app development is to put everything in a domain module, where the interface objects are pure language level objects.
I’m not a fan of monarchy but Queen Máxima sounds very nerdy.
Oh right, the controller has a gyro as well - something which for some reason Valve completely failed to advertise. You can use it both to aim and as a kind of spatial D-Pad (among a lot of other options).
You basically summarized my entire thoughts on climate change.
And it took over a thousand years for a city larger than Rome to appear again anywhere in the world. Sometimes things just crash and nothing replaces it.
I am a huge fan of Nassim Taleb and his book Fooled By Randomness really impacted the way I look at a lot of doom and gloom scenarios. His notion of fat tailed events/tail risks along with survivors confirmation bias is a central theme of many of the risks he describes.

So as an example, if in October 2019 someone said a virus outbreak that could be largely prevented would be lead cause of over 100k deaths over climate change, you would be laughed at. Yet here we are. The largest hidden risk is often what is right in front of our eyes that we don’t acknowledge as a risk.

For example if there is a >9 magnitude earthquake due to San Andreas fault, I have zero doubt California has any preparedness and if will even be able to airlift millions of people even though everyone knows it’s a ticking time bomb.
Strange how such a long article about imperialism in the middle east does not mention the Ottoman empire even once. An empire that genocided 300,000-900,000 Greeks a mere 56 years before Said's book was published [1]. Surely it played a large role in the West's perception of the Orient, which is what the field of Orientalism purports to study.

It's telling that the cover of his book [2] is The Snake Charmer painting, instead of, for example, The Slave Market [3], by the same artist, showing a very different relationship of the West with the Orient, than the one portrayed by Said.

But meat is a primary food source for humans.

I went through the whole cowspiracy, went vegetarian for 2-3 years thing and I commend it, but it's pretty hard to get enough protein without being starving and vegetarian cooking takes way longer.

Idealy, you'd like to think that we can all just quit meat, but IMO it's for poeple who can afford the time and money to do so.
They explicitly say the storage is not upgradable, and it's absolutely not surprising given the form factor.
That's not true. They don't send data in _regions_ your client can't see/hear, but if an enemy is for example close to a corner or on the other side of a door, you can have a wallhack see that as the client is still receiving it.

Thanks to latency & the realities of the internet, the server has to bias towards sending data the client can't strictly see/hear at that exact moment, but potentially _could_ see if they move. Which is enough to give a wallhacker a meaningful advantage still.

But what you can't do anymore is see where all the enemies are going at the start of the round and run to the weaker part of the map or whatever. So reduced effectiveness, but still a thing.
>Sounds like it was a team failure. The PR people should have advertised Stockdale's qualities more and let him be himself

Paradox publishes many grand strategy games that focus upon different eras and regions. These programs appear to convert the game save files between different titles so people can play megacampaigns. I don't know what this actually looks like since it's the first time I've heard of it, but it sounds like an interesting concept.

What I was interested to see discussed here which I have not seen is the relative merits of this and other similar products (yes, there are several!).

GPD Win
Aya Neo
Smach-z

The first two have actually shipped units. I own the first gen Win (underpowered, quality issues but an amazing first effort), and am awaiting my Neo.

Neo seems more powerful but bulkier and more expensive. I have great faith in Valve to produce hardware to last. The latest Gen GPD'S are looking great!

Any thoughts?

Fixed that for you. There might be young readers here who haven't verified their ages.
It is interesting to note that all the replies (so far) are for web based applications. We seem to have given up on the desktop.
> would be lead cause of over 100k deaths over climate change

What does that even mean?
Wow.

70 deaths in these countries just from flooding seems like... a lot in the year 2021

The coalition for better ads?
https://www.betterads.org/standards/

Google is now blocking ads for all Chrome users for sites that have shown ads that are considered bad.
Of course there's a bunch of companies doing rules lawyering to squeak by and they haven't been adding new bad experiences like they should. It does seem like something an online petition would help with though, as the non-CMA members of the coalition would then have more data to throw around about how users view these annoying ad experiences.
Yes, those are all problems with destructors, but they are well understood. However, in a language I am currently creating, calling a destructor on a partial object is impossible because the object is created in "one" step. In other words, constructors themselves don't have access to the object in a partially created state.

It does make things much easier.
But, GloFo isnt competitive as is - their best process is a "12nm" process they licensed from Samsung 5 years ago. The only way this makes sense to me is if they are getting such a good deal on their assets that its cheaper to buy them and modernize their plants with Intel's technology than to build new plants of their own.
The key word is 'pretty close'. Firstly, if what I read is correct, it only impacted the mediterranean basin, whereas bronze age civilizations existed in China, India, and the Americas as well.

As the article you linked points out, Egyptian and Greek civilizations were affected, but apparently there were other strong civilizations that were doing exceedingly well at the time at the expense of Egypt and Greece.

That's my point. Certainly, from any one perspective, societies can collapse, but that's just a localized problem. Never have we seen humanity suddenly thrust wholesale into some fantastical dark age.
Consider that in other scenarios where a disability is claimed. Some people abuse it (therapy animals on planes ie) while some people genuinely need special accommodations. There are those who will always say someone is abusing the system and demand they prove it; kind of reminds me of speeders who demand to see the radar.
> Today's counterstrike game has weapon skins and knifes that go for pretty extreme real world dollars.

I don't know about TF2, but for CSGO weapon skins & knives (and all drops) never come from gameplay wins. So there's no motivation at all to cheat for any monetary-related reason. Botting was a thing to farm for drops, but those literally just joined a server and spun in place to avoid being AFK kicked - that's it.

So CSGO cheating is purely about the human interaction components (eg, feeling good about winning, taking pleasure in making people angry, the thrill of getting away with it, etc...)
It's not about how many events, but how many years. We can say that climate change would be expected to cause these weather events, but weather isn't climate until it's observed for much longer than we have so far.

There's no doubt climate change can and will produce these effects, so the best articles will just say that A) these events are extreme, and B) we will see many more of them until they become the new normal.
>The key thing for us has been to silo these arguments off from the rest of the relationship.

I think this is an ability that not everyone possesses.

For me and my (now ex-) wife our relationship comprised every waking moment of our existence. It was impossible to silo the fact that I said horrible things to her, and her to me. Sure these things made us each feel better at the time, but at what cost? The relationship, apparently.

Since then we've (while co-parenting a child) come to appreciate the value of separating our emotions from the issue(s) at hand. With it we've been able to successfully navigate extremely thorny issues that might otherwise compromise the well-being of our son were he to pick up on the fact that we've been sidelined by our own shit as opposed to looking out for his best interests and conducting ourselves accordingly.

On the one hand, they should have known better than to use netflix communication channels to talk negatively about work/bosses.

On the other hand, it's a REALLY bad look for Netflix to fire employees for chatting negatively about their boss in private messages. The whole "we're radically transparent" sounds like a horrible excuse for someone's ego getting bruised. I guarantee there are hundreds if not thousands of private chats on their slack with employees complaining about coworkers.

I presume they're now combing through every private chat and terminating any employee who said something negative about a coworker? No?
Like ISPs saying their mergers won't reduce competition because they stay out of each-other's territories.

Define failure
I got a government job about 10 years ago by simply showing up to work every day, even though I didn't yet formally work there. It was incredibly awkward, but I'd just find people to have coffee with each day. Many of them would ask, 'So...I'm sorry to ask, but do you work here?' and I would just hit them with brutal honesty: 'No, but I would like to.' After about 5 weeks of this, a department head had a vacancy and I naturally came to mind and was offered the job. I'm not typing this out as life advice for anyone, but more as a case study that supports the argument that showing up can be an extremely effective way of producing results.

slightly offtopic, but something that bugs me about OTA broadcast DTV is the program guide. (I'm in Australia which uses DVB-T, other standards may differ). The guide is so slow to load, regardless of the TV set. It also seems to require the TV to scan each channel to pickup that channel's guide data so you're left with gaps in the guide data until the TV has scanned each channel. It seems like a missed opportunity. If we're going digital, why can't guide data be instantly available for all channels?
