Very well put. Excellently stated. That's one of the concepts that many have thought about, because we all feel the effects, but aren't exactly sure how to articulate. I'm going to be thinking about that comment!

It definitely applies to software. It's why trades are a much better career option, local will never not matter in that case. The best 'star high school' welders and electricians are always going to be desirable, as no one is flying in the best in the world for every little job.

Most of us, except the best in the world among us, messed up going into software. The script completely flipped on this since I was a child in the 80s and was dreaming of becoming a programmer as I am now.
I don't know if it actually applies to a facemask with unidirectional flow (on at the top, out at the bottom). But the CO2 buildup mechanism is sometimes described as a reason for medical facemasks to be close-fitting. When you exhale into a mask with a big space, and then inhale again, you (very roughly) first inhale everything that was in the mask before inhaling new air.

The extreme example is breathing from a long skinny tube. If the volume of the tube is bigger than that of your lungs, you never inhale new air.

> How do you define what an appropriate per capita CO2 budget is?

Negotiation of elected represenatatives constraint by a total budget.

> Is it different for someone from China, India, and the US?
Yes.

> What about the difference between individuals from rural agricultural communities vs a large city?

This is something that should be respected when the country allocations are made. However the distribution in the country itself is subject to decisions in the country.

> If non-western countries have the 'right' to increase carbon emissions why don't poorer people in Western countries have the 'right' to increase their emissions?

Because countries with unequal wealth distributions shouldn't be rewarded or allowed to externalize (by taking up more CO2 budget) their societal wealth distriubtution. However in terms of allocation of the budget in the country i would find poorer people getting more a workable solution.

> What is the target level for developing economics?

Being able work afford cost due to climate change. Being able to live a live without deprivation. Such that people won't need to be prevented at gun point from fleeing into the richer countries. That be a good start.

> How does it make sense to mandate Western countries go to net-zero while all developing countries continue to dramatically increase per capita emissions?

Because the consequences otherwise are ugly. The western countries could of course invest heavily to into developing countries with the goal to direct their growth. However i am not sure collolianlist meddling will be appreciated by people in developing countries.

> Since it would be impossible to force China or India to meet the same standards the West self-imposes in this scenario, you are essentially asking Western individuals to pay a higher cost of living for NO net carbon reductions. This mandate will disproportionately affect poor people.

If the mandate will disproportionately affect poor people it was implemented badly on a inner country basis. Inside your country you can do redistribution to make it less impactfull on poor people.

> I do not see how this is a rational course of action for an individual voter or for any developed economy.

Yeah, it is a case of a tragedy of the (unmanaged) commons. I don't think that this approach is feasible but i adopt this position none the less as any compromise which i am a part of will be pulled in a direction i find preferable for all mankind according to my ethics. I choose my position to optimize the resulting compromise.
On the logic front, I'll tangentially throw out that I think the problem isn't invalid arguments, but unsound arguments, which doesn't get properly addressed in discussions of misinformation. We're all blindly talking past each other because no one agrees to the premises or on any means of verifying them.

On teacher competency, I would, on balance, trust the teachers I had growing up and the teachers I know now to handle CRT appropriately if they were teaching my children.
I agree we should do so! That said, we should discourage behavior that is absolutely guaranteed to be abusive in the future.

We can call it speculation - that doesn't mean it's wrong. Power is the play, and companies will always be leveraged for the benefit of the powerful. This seems pretty indisputable to me.
So, I'll give my point of view:

- all the employers I ever had either used Google or Microsoft suite of tools (e.g., gmail, office, etc.)

- my family uses WhatsApp, and they give a damn whether Facebook becomes Big Brother or not

sql.js is pretty hard to use as is otherwise you run out of memory really quickly. I was trying to use it as the in-memory SQL flavor for an open source data ide [0] but my naive approach of `SELECT * FROM VALUES (...), ...` would run out of memory after only a few hundred rows.

I ended up switching to https://github.com/agershun/alasql which could handle up to 80MB of data or so. (I haven't yet tested on larger datasets so I don't know the actual limits.)

I don't think this is a fundamental limitation of sql.js as the linked article proves that you can implement custom paging for sql.js. But unless you do that (which I haven't spent the time to figure out how to do) then sql.js will run out of memory very quickly.

Just something to be aware of if you're investigating it.

If there's a high-level library that makes more effective use of memory with sql.js under the hood let me know.

Unlike absurd-sql I don't need the results to be permanent. I just wanted an in-memory SQL for joining, filtering, grouping data.

They got you. Because you just contradicted yourself. Why did you do that? On top of it, you are reciting a certain political party's claims. That's a dead giveaway.

300 x 35 = $10.5B (assuming no debt or cash on the balance sheet, which I don't know about)

So makes sense back of the envelope assuming it is growing as fast as the "average" SP500 company.

Several months ago I've made a proof-of-concept of exactly what you're talking about, feel free to check it out: https://shekhirin.com/sqlite-fs/.

I recommend downloading sample DB, writing some dummy query like "SELECT BILLINGCOUNTRY, COUNT(INVOICEID) FROM INVOICE GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 2 DESC" and then pressing Execute.

I've been planning to write an extensive article about it and open sourcing the solution cleaning up the code a little bit, but still haven't got much time to do so.

It depends on what the story of the brief stint is.

Somebody might have worked on a stream of small projects, succeed at them, kept moving on. There's nothing wrong with that.

Other people might chronically run into interpersonal problems and that is a concern.

I hear you loud and clear, which is why I say that admitting that TikTok is better/unique is not enough.

You need to understand what makes it better/unique to build better alternatives that at least won't be heavily influenced by an abusive regime.

Like, sure, let's take it as a given that TikTok will become undeniably evil in 4 years. What are we doing now to prevent a grim future?

I say, look at what makes this honeymoon phase so attractive, because as long as TikTok is the only place offering these benefits, people will go there.

Yeah, but this is depression and anxiety too. Constantly having to deal with negative thoughts. In theory, just change brain chemistry slightly and you will have fewer negative thoughts and more positive. Not everyone has similar amount of doubts.

So an outsider who says "just deal with it", won't know the ratio and magnitude of negative to positive thoughts, someone else might have.

Everyone has doubts, but frequency and strength may vary.

Question, if the device is suggesting the user may be developing a stroke - what do they do? Do they go to the ER and show the docs that there’s abnormal electrical activity so imaging of the brain must be done? Without physical symptoms, I’m not sure most ERs would be prepared to deal with this…or would they? Or is it assumed symptoms would develop by the time the patient arrives to the ER?
TBH, I'm German, but a Software Engineer, so it's a mix of both.

I travel a lot for work (well, I used to) and changed all my peripherals and devices (even my shaver) to usb-c interface/charging, in some cases by hacking it in myself. It took an annoying amount of research, and Nintendo switch was the worst offender, but eventually I have one charger, and a few cables for ALL of my stuff in a tiny bag. Everything in the bag is worth about $50, and I have the same bag duplicated in my backpack, desk and trip luggage (in this one also international adapters that snap onto the charger).

One caveat is I only used macbooks for years. I was shocked when I built a Ryzen desktop and one usb-c port was standard, without thunderbolt support. So I had to begrudgingly use a to c cables there.

there are no material life improvements - only more efficient dopamine triggers. but that's not an improvement because before the 90s - guess what - they had their own triggers.

in that spirit you could add how access to more diverse pornography brought happiness to so many lonely men considering how especially a hundred years ago they were so starved they would get aroused at the sight of women's knees. poor bastards.

guess what, your mega-tittie-porn isn't really an improvement over some picture where a woman lifts her skirt you can see her ankles. it's just a fucking going round in circles what you all confuse with "improvement".

life for many people fucking sucks and most of those "improvements" only come at the expense of removing people further from any kind of meaningful spiritual fullfilment.

Well it already happens when big wildfires happen and people have dangerous air around for days. In the short term, keeping everything closed and using masks is probably enough.

It would depend on the pattern and the reason for the short stint. Also, it depends on what they want to hire you for. If they're hiring you just for a project and plan to let you go afterwards, then short stints for other projects in your past should be fine too.
The type of monitoring used was disclosed as was the "likely cause" of me being flagged. This wasn't a secretive kind of thing. Of course one can't "know" anything as it's a black-box. But it's not a stretch to see how such systems may conclude, from automated profiling, that users of privacy-centric services are more likely to be associated with fraud and hence flagged. This also represents a more general issue with the application of machine learning.

> They can't learn.

The strongest statement that might fit here is that they can't learn efficiently. Zero gradients just make learning slower (though I do agree that differentiability is something to strive for).

As a bit of an aside, in practice stochastic versions of algorithms assuming differentiability work on wide ranges of functions, and compositions of poorly behaved functions can be quite nicely.

For a couple [0] concrete examples:

(1) Throw the absolute value function into your favorite gradient/Newton's minimization routine. Blindly using differentiable techniques often works if a sub-gradient technique would work.

(2) Consider minimizing the magnitude of the smallest eigenvalue of the Jacobian matrix of your favorite function. Many of the intermediate components (e.g., trying to derive the eigenvalue with respect to matrix entries) are poorly defined, undefined, or have cusps and other nasty features. The composition is (under mild constraints) differentiable with non-zero gradients.

(3) Consider minimizing the absolute value of a step function. By using a wide difference quotient as an approximation of the derivative and feeding that into optimizers you'll still find the minimum near zero (See (1); it works similarly).

If the composite output is only constant on small regions in the input space (which holds if those neurons are modeling anything non-trivial), you can rig together something close enough to backprop to still learn efficiently.

I always try to reverse a situation to see if it makes sense, and then I ask myself: what would we think if aliens came to earth to experiment on us with untested medicine, kill us afterwards and only when it is perfectly safe on us they would apply it to themselves. I believe a large fraction of humanity would say that that is unethical and they'd have all kinds of cognitive dissonance to deal with (and associated reasons why this is different) to explain why what we do is ok.

I personally don't think it is ok, but it apparently is a necessity, at the same time if this can be stopped then that would be great.
I don't know about memories stored in DNA, but

>That would make each neuron a complicated computer

Is this not an accepted fact? Each neuron is like a tiny processor in a larger distributed like system. This is why it's impossible to build bioaccurate NNs because each neuron has ~10K connections to various other neurons.
Yes this is right. So for banking, this is what you need and that works across the board. But there is actually competition for general authentication, so for login to government services you can now often use Freja eID. It is independent from banks, and does not work for banks, but their niche seems to be authentication face-to-face, replacing the physical card, and also Covid vaccination proof etc. So there is an ecosystem and some competition, but BankID is the giant.

I mean, CrowdStrike are supposedly experts and their "proof" of Russian involvement in the DNC hack was complete bullshit[1], except "trust us, guys, we promise." Their president even had to testify in Congress to that effect admitting so.

It's more credible to reform the CH4 to H2 and pump the CO2 into a saline aquifer or maybe burn the CH4 in O2+recycled exhaust and do the same.

In that case you really can measure the CO2 being injected the same way they measure the CH4 coming out of the ground. Contrast to a forest project where you can't really measure it (are you really going to use calipers to measure how much the branches grew? do you really believe the answer) and the carbon is just a fire away from being released?

And a big part of my point is that baseline responsibility is to have 6 months of money in the bank. Those who are financiall responsible and sat on 6months money instead of getting a $1000 iphone or a instagrammable moment still paid their rent. But those who were marginally able to save that money up, but chose instead to burden themselves with one time or recurring costs? Those irresponsible people got say they couldnt pay their rent and someone else had to bear the burden for their irresponsibility in the past.

Now here's the kicker that I am really confounded by -- irresponsible people are by far the majority, and democracies are (basically) majority rules. So how can the government do anything but continue to create rules that create an optimal experience for irresponsible people, meaning the responsible ones are incentivized to being irresponsible too.
