I think you're reading the ruling correctly, but the judge's understanding of the constitution would also imply that state courts would not be able to limit the Legislature's "system of workers’ compensation" (because the state constitution is what delegates power to the courts). I don't think this makes sense.

Isn't Japan a counterexample? While government was essential for establishing the initial feasibility and cultural proof of concept, private competitors grew so much more successful than JNR rail that 30 years ago they decided to privatize the entire rail system. Since then, there has been unabated upgrades and additions of lines and regular train car improvements. The only major inefficiencies and decline has been in remote extremely low ridership areas.

The trains are still pretty affordable, and everyone uses them.
Maybe, but so far there is no World government and every nation should deal with their own corruption(or cease to exist) - Venezuelans, Russians and Afganis are RESPONSIBLE for their own problems and if the most of Afganis want Taliban rule(and have accepted them peacefully) or if the most of Russians want mafia state, then it is not up to others to correct them - maybe just bar them off and let them enjoy what they dream of. At least US has done one sensible thing, that they are leaving Afganistan - even if that does not look good - they did everything by the book what other empires did by not allowing to form nationalistic states based on ethnicity, like it happened in Europe 100 years ago(all in the name if current mantra of keeping all borders as they are). Maybe divided Afganistan would have chance to develop their own way, but now it is Pakistani expansion of taliban/paki(for those unaware, paki means pure) ideology.

Navalny is not speaking for all Russians, even if he is on the same path as Nelson Mandela. Besides, there is slight problem, that even Navalny does not comprehend as a naturally chauvinistic and also naturally imperialisticly minded Russian, who thinks about keeping as much as possible remnants of Russian empire - corruption free Russia can't exist in current borders - actually, a corruption free Russia is oxymoron, because Chechnya without corrupted Russia would not be part of Russia - they exist there, because Putin is giving them support and money. And if Chechnya is let to go, then borders of Russia will shrink very quickly to what was Muscovite state. That would be a catastrophe to Russians and that is why most of Russians intuitively does not agree to what Navalny is offering. Russians want Tzar - not eradication of corruption and possibly destruction of Russia and erasing of Russian identity.

I feel like the author dismisses the other explanation too easily. I might be wrong, but I don't really know if it's "educated whites" more than just "educated people" who yes, unfortunately skew white. If there is evidence educated POC also take this stand then I suppose I stand corrected. For example, a lot of "woke stuff" I hear or see from activists or sociology educated creators on youtube or twitter are people of color.

A very controversial analogy I can give which I hope is not in misunderstood is analogous in degree is child sexual abuse. I forget where I read it but because children are innocent, they don't often feel hurt from the initial abuse. However, from growing and becoming aware what had happened does the nature of the abuse become apparent to them after which the trauma begins to become real. Hopefully in this case it is clear that "not being aware x is bad" is not a sufficient argument for "x is not really bad." I feel like on some level that is well below this analogy in terms of severity and mere obliviousness to the overall connotation of what might be happening (as we're talking about adults who are merely oblivious to facts of history or power relations in society) lie acts or systems of racial discrimination. For example, perhaps a black person trying to get financing to buy a home in the 60s wasn't aware of redlining and instead might merely interpret it as being how things are. It does not mean that that obliviousness meant it was okay and that such harm crept into other areas that were more apparent and directly felt (like lower rates of wealth for blacks, and thus more exposure to crime and neglect in communities). The average poor person of color would be cognizant of the more apparent ills of ghettos while not really being aware (and thus offended) by the deeper structural causes of the more apparent ills.

Another example, a new refrain amongst some activist is that urban highways are a legacy of racism. This is a true fact if you look at the history, urban highways often demolished poor parts of a city and divided the remaining poor neighborhoods from well-off neighborhoods, intensifying segregation and its ills. If you ask an average poor person if they think urban highways are a source of ills for them today, they'd probably say no even though it is a fact that it was. Even for someone without a car who is more likely to be a victim of road fatality (poor POC are more likely to be victims of pedestrian fatality from car drivers) they may know life is harder for them in general without a car but they simply are unaware of it being a system of power (car culture) that has a lot of roots in history and isn't merely the state of nature.

Anyway, while I feel like it is good for academics to be tempered by the groups they want to understand (that's fair and should be a key consideration, of course), people really should not discount sociologists and their research, especially as not all of them are white and some do in fact experience said systems of power they critique and have in addition tools and knowledge of history to put said analysis in context.
Oof. I completely agree that one week per iteration isn’t good. Thanks for pointing this out — I need to write up something about how to be effective.

1 week is fine for a production training run. But that’s after you’ve locked in your hyperparams on small prototypes. Small prototypes should take no more than two days to give results. If your prototype absolutely must be a large model, you should have many (perhaps even a dozen) attempts training simultaneously.

It’s hard to imagine someone spending an entire week waiting to see whether their latest tweak worked, then tweaking again and waiting another week…

I had models like that, but they were exploratory side projects, not my primary research focus. It’s stuff you try for fun, not for work. That way a week is “whatever” if it doesn’t work out.

But when you’re hunting for a result, no way. Prototype results are measured in “N completed runs per day”. Which means you should have multiple runs going at all times.

It gets tricky to manage, but… I don’t know. Either you’re right and I got incredibly lucky, or determined programmers can do the same thing I did. I’m not that smart.

It's just hygiene theater to make people feel better. 95% of time when I see masks in a situation that isn't particularly risky (outdoors), it's not an N95. People do it because it makes them feel safer and to virtue signal.

What's bizarre is that it's rare for public health officials to care, either. It makes me think they're actually very effective (which I doubt with delta), they want to people to feel safe to keep the economy running, or they're worried about how much more contagious it could get facing a real obstacle.

As for the hard lockdown, I think we're past the point of that being a theoretical option. Looking to Australia, it's still spreading. There's a level of contagiousness where the minimum amount of interaction is still to much to stop the spread. We'll see what happens in New Zealand.

You're right about the national scale for everywhere other than Singapore. There are just too many people too spread out to actually enforce it. Borders are too porous, and enough people are onboard with letting it spread that this option isn't practically or politically viable.
We have a better way of handling that these days:

The fight isn't the issue I referenced, not fully. A statute cannot change the constitution and alter voting requirements of the legislature. That is what this attempted. As you mentioned, a different threshold is required in order to pass an amendment or a statute.

The author wanted the benefits of an amendment but to pass it by meeting the requirements for a statute.
The NSA's mandate concerns sigint, so that's what they do. Other entities (eg the PCLOB and federal courts) can constrain it, and the NSA constrains itself proactively to avoid embarrassments. The current result is a tradeoff between surveillance/security and privacy: NSA policy is that they can listen to foreign suspects' conversations, including if Americans are on the call. Metadata is collected on calls two "hops" from a suspect. Whether it's the right tradeoff is an interesting debate.
Forests that don’t burn down in regular fires don’t sequester carbon long term either. Trees die and slowly rot on the forest floor, releasing their carbon back into the atmosphere.

Fossil fuels come from accidents of evolution. When plants first evolved lignin there was nothing around that could decompose it and so it built up in large layers, later to be converted into fossil fuels under pressure. Now there are fungi which can decompose lignin and so there will never be a natural build-up of lignin again.

Our best bet is to grow trees to sequester carbon and then cut them down and use the wood for durable goods such as houses and furniture. If we can take care of this wood to prevent it from rotting or burning then it’ll sequester carbon for a long time. We’ll have to find ways to cut out fossil fuels from the wood supply chain though.

It is nice to see acknowledgement that there was any activity at all in Peru prior to the Incas. Who knows, those earlier people, probably already speaking Quechua, might even have built this or that monumental structure, too, instead of waiting around for the Incas to come along and build everything, last-minute, just in time for the Spaniards to find.

The browser does have all of our data. It’s our window to brain of humanity. Our neural connection if you will. There is a reason why Google wants to dominate it - you can’t judge quality of search results without knowing how much engagement users have with a site. That data is key and a precious piece of each user many are clamoring for. A tool for thought would only work if the algorithm for it is controllable by the user, not a shadow entity people have no control over. Facebook has been an example of a stuart of our browser - deciding what is suggested, puppeteering all content. You can package your data and plug GPT 4 into it on each future keystroke, but an important question to answer is why? Will this tool be an agent of the user or a wind blowing them in whatever direction the writers decide.
I’m not sure what your point is. My point is that the existing system can’t even handle the current load and the author is proposing to add even more load at scale without addressing our power infrastructure.

A lot of that dead wood is sitting on a hillside* with approximately 45 degree slope, more than 300 feet from the nearest fire/logging road. It's possible to harvest it, but the cost/reward ratio is not very good, and the wood is likely not high quality at this point. There's also just a tremendous amount of it.

If you nerd out and interact with other people, you can't ever get away from politics. Even stating to others in public here on HN that you wish to "get away from politics" is itself a (hypocritical) political action.

"There are financial incentives to sell vaccines" might be a conspiracy theory, but anyone not considering this reality a factor is delusional. I don't think they're selling us snake oil and scaring us into getting it, but there is definitely a motive beyond (but probably including) public health and that is to recoup the cost of development of the vaccine, at the very least.

> It escapes me how anyone can consider it for long-term carbon storage/offsetting

Because, the occasional fire notwithstanding, it's not ephemeral. The canonical idea here is taking stripped land like farms, which has had all the carbon removed and burned off into the atmosphere, and replacing it (over a century or two) with a mature forest where very large amounts of carbon is stored in biomass. Yes, it burns sometimes. But over time forests house vastly more carbon than farms. So planting them is a win.

The ding against forest sequestration isn't fires, it's that they just don't work fast enough. It's not enough to scrub all the CO2 out of the air by 2221 AD, we need it done now.
Okay, fair enough. But a major difference is that flu deaths are much more heavily burdened on the the young, whereas Covid is on the very elderly. The death of a 6 month old from flu results in approximately 20 times more QALY loss than an 85 year old.

Let me approach it from another angle. Pre-vaccine, it appears that Covid roughly doubled everyone's all-cause mortality.[1] Like it killed 30 year olds at a much lower rate than 90 year olds, but 30 year olds have a much lower baseline mortality to begin with. This isn't an exact relationship, but approximately about double mortality across the board. (Even interestingly enough men's excess Covid death rate is about in line with their general mortality vis-a-vis women.)

The vaccine appears to reduce the mortality risk of circulating Covid by about a factor of 100X. There's very little reason to believe that it substantially shifts the relative mortality burden between groups. So, post-vaccine Covid increases all-cause mortality broadly by about 1%. That translates into less than 1 month of lost life expectancy.[2]

They returned because the state overrode the local requirements. Nothing to do with having their shit together.

They're uncomfortable.

The mask gets in the way when getting a haircut.

It depends on the definition of fairness, which is what I’m trying to argue for. Practically speaking, heavy correlation and casual relationships are similarly problematic. If you correlate enough of the variables, you can limit your pool to a very particular group of people. And if your group of people is 99% of race/gender/age, then is that practically any different from doing a direct filter?

The usual definitions of fairness actually have the strong constraint that the response (Y=f(X)) is independent of the fairness variables (f(X|Z) is the same for all fairness values of Z). So, concretely, if Z is gender, then you have the same insurance outcome regardless of gender. In this definition, the setting I described is unfair, since the correlation on education will bias the model to predict in a way that is correlated with race.

The only practical way to satisfy such a strong definition is to do a correction on the data, which is a pretty straightforward optimization problem if you formalize the constraints. And yeah, usually you lose predictive power in doing so.

For the record, the strong definition makes sense often times (to me). You wouldn’t want health insurance using your DNA as a predictor, likely, even if genetics are very predictive in that domain.
If your solution requires every person on earth to obey you it's not much of a solution, and "everyone didn't obey" is an excuse to why your non solution predictably did not work.
How do all these Google employees leave and then immediately announce competing startups? Is it because they live in California? Most job agreements specifically disallow this in a non-compete. I don't agree with the practice of non-competes, but I thought pretty much all companies had them.
> Black is the common term used to identify the look of a very dark skinned person.

This defines Black without using genetics. I think that you're saying that other people are defining Black as a race wrongly because they aren't defining Black in terms of ancestry/genetics. I would suggest that maybe that means you shouldn't try to define Black as a genetic group because you're reusing a racial categorization which does not map to genetic categorizations.
"Getting away from politics" is commonly understood as shorthand for "entering a place with minimal/insignificant/infinitesimal politics". Similarly, you might describe yourself as getting "away from the humidity" even if you've moved from a coast to a desert (keeping in mind that even in a desert, the humidity is always nonzero).
