Personal observation.

Steven Weinberg made his career as an accomplished disciple of orthodox quantum theoretical physics, making it to the top of the physics/social food chain via hard work developing quantum field theory and getting acknowledged as one of the fathers of Standard Model. But all this without really "rocking the boat" of quantum theory. For a long time he believed quantum theory is fine and was not interested in the deeper questions about it.

He eventually came around and realized and acknowledged that quantum theory has serious systemic problems of arbitrariness/internal consistency related to dichotomy unitary evolution/measurement, to dismay of some self-assured fanboys of QT orthodoxy. This gets him to the Feynman/Schwinger level, as in "did lots of great work, inspired lots of people, and realized the standard narratives have serious problems and wasn't afraid to say it and go his own way".

His last textbook Lectures on Quantum Mechanics is one of the few extraordinarily notable textbooks on quantum theory that came out in last decades. If you want to get deeper into QT after you get through the standard superficial and hand-wavy college course, this is a very good and concise book.

Father Ted is as mentioned by the article (and the Irish Catholic source it links), something that really could only have been made when it was, in the middle of collapse of the Catholic church as an influential establishment in Ireland. 15 years earlier it would have been criticised for making light of church authority and condemned for it. 15 years later, and we'd be right in the midst of revelations about priests abusing kids and the church covering it up and nuns running industrial schools that neglected children to the point of death. The author recognises this in a tweet that's quoted but no longer available as his Twitter was banned due to a crusade of trans harrassment.

I found it interesting, then remembered that in every single case (except maybe TypeScript) the new language is simpler only as long as you follow the tutorials closely. (Usually a mess of missing IDE support, missing documentation, big undocumented boilerplates etc).

That said, a number of those languages are interesting and great even of they aren't as simple as the tutorials make them look.
it seems there's a general distrust that has grown over the years possibly due to faulty dialog between the two camps, and a ton of broken promises over the years. for some, once you loose their trust it's nearly impossible to get back. but this is speculation from general observation.
Also those symptoms look very similar to stress, anxiety and depression. Which I think are to be expected after contracting a pandemic level virus and being forced to isolate. I would like to see results after treating or controlling for those conditions.

Pretty much all passports do have a chip you can read using NFC. The data on the chip is signed using a CSCA (Country Signer Certificate Authority), so you can validate the data. On most documents you can also perform a challenge-response protocol to determine the chip is authentic and not a copy (you can read the public key but not the private key).

There are free smartphone apps available for both Android and iOS that let you read and verify the chip.
> There are reasons why the rest of Christianity had to split off from compromised Church half a millennia ago.

You seem to be ignoring the parts that split with the Roman Catholics long before Protestantism was dreamed up (in the case of the Oriental Orthodox and Church of the East, more than 1000 years before.)
The effect largely goes away if the frequency exceeds 4 kHz, as even the quickest saccades would see a blur rather than a flicker. putting the flicker above 20 kHz would be ideal, because that way it is well beyond both visual range and even any noise generated by the circuit would be inaudible. The real question is why higher frequencies aren't used for driving LEDs. They have very low cycling latency, so it's a no-brainer.

No. It's a "enough is enough" comment.

It looks so unsecure. It will be much better if Apple will lock your house and car instead, so you will just ask Apple to unlock your house. If you violate Apple rules, e.g. by storing inappropriate content in your house, they will just ban you, so your city will be a much better place to live.

Er, QED?
For anyone new to Debian: it's a Linux-based operating system distribution, available at various levels of support for multiple computer architectures:

https://wiki.debian.org/SupportedArchitectures

Debian includes an extensive set of packages -- including communication and office tools -- that can be installed at the command-line or by using a desktop UI. This includes dependency management, so that installing (or removing) a package will also pull in (or can clear out) required and related packages.

https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

The Debian distribution does not include any telemetry or tracking (although some packages within it may do), and it has a social contract to remain 100% free and to provide source code for almost all components (some non-free packages are available in cases where the authors are not willing or able to provide them openly):

https://www.debian.org/social_contract

I've probably misrepresented a few details there, but I think it's a marvel of the modern technical world, up there with the Internet Archive, and the Linux kernel.

That's not to say it's perfect - but the nice thing is that anyone can improve it at no financial cost (and in return, they get to experience that many people benefit from reduced costs - time, frictional, and economic).

I disagree with you on most of this. Looking at the all cause mortality graphs for the US is pretty sobering, and comparing to the relatively much more flat all cause mortality graph for australia is all the reason i need to be pro lockdown. It seems pretty clear that lockdowns work, and also that governments dont want to be locked down any longer than necessary- because it is bad for the economy. But hospitals being over capacity like in the UK or india is also pretty bad, and i see healthcare as being one of the pillars of civilisation.

I do see some 'cleanliness theatre', but the thing about r values is that little things help a lot. Washing hands regularly, wearing a mask. I havnt a cold in 18 months, which is pretty unheard of for me, because everyone is taking a bit more care. If only covid were 'only' as contagious as the cold, we probably would have beaten it already.
I don't consider myself a conspiracy theory type of guy but I can see why people are quoting Revelation 13:16 more and more as e-payments and e-id becomes harder to avoid.
The Importance of Being on Usenet
"The Internet, right from the very start, has always been a medium of communication. Almost as soon as there were networks to connect computers, programmers began to figure out ways to transmit information between them. Take Usenet, for instance. Usenet was an early Internet discussion platform, a system akin to modern day message boards. And for a lot of early Internet adopters, it was a platform for conversations that spanned the globe and their preferred method of contact with like-minded spirits.

Which is why two Usenet threads, posted exactly two months apart in 1991, laid the groundwork for some seismic changes in the world of the Internet."
It works pretty well for me to just include <name of town> in my search query if I want local results.
This assumes that the existing system is already a perfectly ordered meritocracy. Affirmative action supporters are coming at it from a different hypothesis: that 20 of the applicants pass the objective proficiency bar, and now people will apply subjective criteria like "culture fit", who has "leadership potential", etc, and this is where bias creeps in. Somehow the qualified candidates from certain groups don't make the cut as often you'd statistically expect (if you also do not believe in group differences).

If this is the starting position, then it is mathematically possible for affirmative action to deliver more equitable outcomes without lowering the objective bar.

So yes, affirmative action produces suboptimal results if you believe the world is already perfectly fair, and the "losers" weren't as qualified, due to differences between groups in preferences or abilities. Alternatively, affirmative action provides a slight correction to an unfair world, if you believe that all groups are equally capable, and differences in outcomes indicate how much bias is left to overturn.

This is the first time I've been totally prevented from reading something on Reddit by the pop-up, it used to let me through eventually!

Why can it not be meaningfully solved right now, technically? Do we need AGI to solve easy to use self-hosted apps? I don't think so. I think the blockers are more economic than technical. Which is why in fact the field is heading the other way, towards the universal cloud and thin clients.

> Since most of our CVE type problems are usually programming mistakes nowadays, the lack of review could contribute to an increase in programming fault type bugs which aren't forbidden by the safer memory model.

That's an odd statement. What CVEs aren't due to programming mistakes? I'm not sure if the majority of CVEs for the Linux kernel come down to memory safety, though I would not be surprised, but certainly a huge number are.

> without a clear and obvious benefit beyond promises that can only truly be fully fulfilled with a whole kernel written in Rust.

That's not true, really. You don't need a completely safe kernel to have an improvement to safety. If every device driver were memory safe tomorrow we'd be better off.

That said, I think this will be an interesting, possibly losing, battle. The Linux Kernel is extremely monolithic, it has a lack of testing and code review, decades of dug-in investments, and a strong history of not prioritizing security or even considering it to be a legitimate goal. Fixing that seems like it will itself take decades, whereas the current approach really feels like it's trying to get it done ASAP.

If they can do it, cool. As a Linux user I'll possibly benefit. I'm curious to see how it plays out.
I recommend reading Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire. It is an elaborate attempt to figure out the reasons behind the collapse. According to the author Chernobyl played a major role.

Here in good old Europe you either produce a valid ID to obtain one (renewals) or you need testimony of two person with valid ID (i.e. theft) or two parents (traditional birth) or one parent ID and a certificate of birth, but the one signed by the hospital, not the birth registration certificate from the government (single parent birth) or a valid visa and a valid foreign ID (immigration)

Seems to cover about all cases and pin your identity to previously verified identities recursively
In some more advanced countries, they do this exact thing (or in other cases, a barcode with a serial number that is used to double-check to a government-controlled database). Does not stop bribing government officials to make a genuine fake ID of course, but it significantly raises the bar of faking it.

> Is that not effectively a life sentence without the possibility of parole?

The claim was that he would be sentenced to life or hundreds od years based on the charges and the amount in controversy. I was pointing out that while the second option may be at least theoretically possible, the first was not.

(Are the two practically equivalent? Sure, but the claim was that the charges would support either sentence, not that it would support a sentence materially ewut to life in prison.)

> You're trying to argue that he might not experience every horror every day - just some of them, depending on the day?

I’m pointing out that depending on which rumored horrors you consider, they might never occur in reality at all (rumor and fact arr different things), and even the ones that are factual horrors might never occur to the vast majority of prisoners, and even ones that are more common might never impact a particular prisoner and, yes, even the ones that happen to impact a particular prisoner often don’t do so daily, so the claim that he would be subjected to every rumored horror of US prisons every day of his sentence relies on so many levels of hyberbole as to be beyond absurd.

If panspermia is true, I think it’s most likely life evolved on a planet orbiting a star. It just seems to me that the energy availability and chances of having liquid water are more conducive.

That planet then was destroyed or fragments broken off, scattering life enriched matter into star forming nebulae. This seeded more planets, which then broke up scattering more life enriched matter. After several cycles of this you’d end up with life, or at least sophisticated organic molecule enriched matter all over the galaxy.

As much as I agree with the overall premise that a GPA is harder to focus on than test prep, I disagree that poor families can afford test prep. Blowing away $1000+ so your child (who is not a star student) can potentially get a better SAT score is not going to be something that a poor family considers to be possible.

Anecdotally, I write this comment from the couch of a poor family. My girlfriend’s parents (who I am visiting) live on welfare in a 1 bedroom apartment (hence the couch we are sleeping on). They have a 15-year-old son who could potentially benefit from test prep. He’d also benefit more immediately from a haircut, new clothes, and a therapist. If the parents had $1000, they’d probably buy all of that instead, or lottery tickets.

Extra anecdotally, I also have a 15-year-old stepsister, who has a rich mom. She has new clothes, a nice haircut, and antidepressants. Soon she’ll have a car for when she’s 16 and most likely will revive some SAT prep. I have noticed (or at least have theorized) that because my girlfriend’s family cannot afford these things for their children, her young brother in a state of arrested development. His lack of luxury is causing him to miss certain life milestones. His maturity is stunted (even for a 15-year-old boy) and he would not be a good candidate for test prep.
