I mean, if you are unable to explain something as entry-level as Descartes' "cogito", its limits and what that entails, why it engender dualism, i'd rather not listening to you talking about consiousness. You don't have to read Chalmels (you should, but you don't HAVE to)(Btw i'm more of an illusionist myself, i don't suscribe to Chalmels thesis), but not knowing the classics is disqualifying.

I think also part of the problem is English semantics. The terms fact, myth, theory, evidence, research, etc., get thrown around everywhere when it comes to epistemology and peer discussion. They have different meanings in different contexts. People don't always speak with maximum precision. Take GP's comments of the form "Fact checkers said X". This is a hard stance. It also completely contradicts my experience. It would have been softened with "I remember fact checkers saying X" because that opens the door to the possibility their experience does not reflect the whole. A unique reality tunnel. But saying "X happened" opens the door for argumentative replies from anyone with a different experience.

I'm guilty of this, many people do it, maybe even most people. It's easy to lapse into the subconscious mentality that your experience reflects universal experience.

You can tell it's so because of the way it is.
If people really want to fix this, they'll go back to creating independent web sites... Social media lures people in, takes a significant part of real money generated from creators, and then slowly tightens rules to protect it's own interests and profit while forsaking creators and that includes gradual suppression of promotional equality for creators.

The whole scheme to make creators pay to run ads is a failed ideology if creator content is the very thing that platforms depend on to succeed.

This is why I always edit/record to files I can re-use/re-distribute rather than using native record options on platform-specific apps.

The notes sheet in Fig. 10 of your blog page are obviously related to the session 512 (mentioned in the notes and also visibly marked 512 on the back side).

According to the outlined status for the beginning of the session 512, it's stern away from/off Sun, without SKU, without TM, without panorama, with RT.

That is, the RT (Roentgen telescope) is on. So possibly the contents of the session 512 is relating to the reception of RT imaging data.

In your response to your last paragraph:

It’s a slippery slope and some fortune-telling to assume that Facebook and Twitter will not let you post based off potential incorrect facts. If anything, a caution or warning label regarding facts should offer the reader extra information. As MikeTheGreat has aptly highlighted, science is a self correcting paradigm that seeks to prove itself wrong. Old facts, tried and tested overtime, may seldom update but new and not well tested facts may evolve in due time.

Also, the claim that fact checkers are wrong more than they are right is a non-sequiter. Because the prevailing truth at the time of fact checking is the most accurate based off the current body of evidence. And as stated in my point above, our understanding of the truth crystallizes over time.

Police in the US shoot dogs so often, an expert calls it an “epidemic” (2016)
I like type keys for exhaustive matching. I find it helpful to use the key to describe state, for example, then perform (or not perform) an action or show a component based on that state. To me it's idiomatic in that it expresses the different states and intent well - it allows people unfamiliar with the code to step in and read literally what the code is meant to do. I realize it's possible to get idiomatic results in other ways but I'm specifically drawn to how predictable and exhaustive it is. It removes a lot of guessing and unknown states.

I also like that in business logic or in presentation layers, wherever you go, various states are still consistently and clearly described. You end up with fairly cohesive types of functions which expect to do fairly specific things to specific shapes of data. To me this is a lot easier to manage than larger functions which do more based on a lot of conditions. The debugging experience is dramatically improved. Instead of debugging inside of if statements, you get to go upstream and check why something was assigned the wrong key in the first place.

One real-world example is search results in an app I maintain. The result types can either be "loading" (I know it'll exist but I don't have a response yet), "partial" (I got a response but some of the data could be missing or stale), or "complete" (this has all of the data I could ask for and I know it's fresh).

When a result is loading I don't want to render the final component which contains a lot of business logic that's dependent on a complete response from the server - shoving it in there and using a lot of conditions to avoid implementing that logic would create a complex component with very high surface area for bugs. Instead I keep a skeleton component which indicates that it's loading. It's actually the base for the partial and complete components, so I don't need to maintain it all that separately. Next, when a response is 'complete enough' (potentially stale or missing certain attributes) I render the partial component with slightly different logic and fields from the complete component. For a perfect result, I want to use its corresponding "complete" component.

So there's sort of a progressive enhancement happening that's very clearly described by the type keys and components, and I find it lets the code 'self-document' to a great degree. In terms of performance, I also know the UI will be re-rendering based on new data streaming in anyway, so rendering smaller and less complex components each time can actually be faster than relying on one big one.

Please, someone explain why this is a bad idea! I love to learn and I'm not married to this approach at all - I'm self taught and have tons of bad ideas.
This is probably the best ending the Linux community could have hoped for; however, I'm dismayed that SCO burnt itself in flames, it was actually a very good operating system; not GNU/Linux-good, but very good back in the days. I understand they lost a lot of business to Linux (so did Microsoft etc.) and that's how the system works; but they were "stuck" because they couldn't open it as it held files with various copyrights (AT&T, Novel, etc.) whom wouldn't have agreed to this. What could/should have they done instead? Well, I can't think of anything as most of the commercial unix vendors are gone now (Irix, Solaris, Tru64, etc.).

I would presume the ideal super weapon would be a lethal airborne virus that only you had the vaccination for. It would decimate your enemy but leave all their infrastructure intact.

It wouldn't be too expensive to achieve. You would just need to find an existing virus and conduct gain of function research to make it more transmissible and more lethal.

> when it comes to actually improving the life of non-elite, all the elite-led societies (all of the current and past societies) seem to fail for some reason

They haven't failed, it has been exactly the opposite. Which is of course why the global immigration magnet is so incredibly strong toward those nations.

Those societies, the more affluent democratic ones you refer to, have been hyper progressive and prosperous for the average person since the WW2 era.

A middle class person since ~1950-1960 in Austria, Germany, France, Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, the US, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand (and numerous others) - have largely led quite comfortable lives compared to what it was like in the past. Life has gotten better in most every regard if you're in those nations vs pre WW2.

You can even watch this progress happen in rapid fashion, in eg the Baltics or the former Czechoslovakia, as they're quickly joining the more affluent tier post Soviet rule. The same is true in South Korea, China, Taiwan in terms of non-elite progress. The progress by the non-elites in those nations has been breathtaking over a very short period of time (30-40 years).

The trial area seems constrained because in case something goes wrong they still have to dispatch a human. That doesn't really scale.

This is exactly how it’s been for me at Microsoft on occasion, except (since I’m in consulting services now) it’s mostly about customer requests and sales team expectations. The pandemic made it exponentially worse in some ways (Eternal September in video calls, dealing with dozens more people who lacked the ability to work effectively without meetings, and a dollop of uncertainty), but being fully remote made it a lot more bearable: I switch off my PC and I’m done for the day. No commute, no taking extra micromanagement calls in the car, people started being _civil_ about my availability and stopped expecting instant replies.

> What are some of the more evidence-based (?) (early literacy,) reading curricula? OTOH: LETRS, Heggerty, PAL

Looks like there are only 21 search results for: "LETRS" "Fundation" "Heggerty":
https://www.google.com/search?q="LETRS"+"fundation"+"heggert...

What is the name for this category of curricula?

Perhaps the US Department of Education or similar could compare early reading programs in a wiki[pedia] page, according to criteria to include measures of evidence-basedness? Just like https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/data/ has "aggregate data for each institution [&] Includes information on institutional characteristics, enrollment, student aid, costs, and student outcomes."

From YouTube, it looks like there are cool hand motions for Heggerty.
> Right now in parts of the US we have hospitals and ICUs that are at higher occupancy than they have been at any time during the pandemic, despite the fact that saimple, safe, cheap and relatively unobtrusive measures that can prevent this have been widely available for months.

I presume you're referring to the fact that we had plenty of time to push back against climate change, but year over year have refused to make progress. Perhaps you're also upset about the lack of true leadership towards that goal?

Much the same leadership / system has been incompotent and negligent over the last 18 months.Agreed, you're correct, if we had able and willing leaders more people might assimilate, else yes there's plenty of reason for doubt and lack of compliance.

It's easy and normalized to blame the powerless. But we proles would be wise to resist that convenience and being to hold the powerful accountable. The current status quo isn't working.

Bulletproof Law Firm Lead Generation Strategies
Sonic boom noise/damage is a very real thing, and the engines on Concord were VERY loud compared to modern high bypass turbofans even when not operating supersonic. Flying the Concord subsonically doesn't make much sense; the range was tailored to cross the Atlantic at supersonic speeds (4,400 mi range. 3,600 mi trip. Don't forget that it needs to reserve 30 minutes of fuel, in addition to the nearest alternate). If you slow it down over land it gets less efficient so you really can't get too much farther than the coasts unless you stop to refuel. But then you've just got a low capacity, loud, expensive to operate subsonic plane.

The reality is that the Concord was very good at one thing, getting across the North Atlantic at speed. But it was much worse for almost anything else since it lacked the range for longer crossings (it had about half the range of a 747), and wasn't a good option for subsonic overland travel, and consumed more fuel per passenger per mile.
If we want to take this into a more concrete and measurable realm, every programming language is going to get converted into the same machine code before it is run, so it is quite untrue that there is any idea that "cannot be expressed" in one programming language but can be expressed in another. It may be more or less convenient to do but nothing like the strong Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for human languages.
For the majority of people it is doable if you start gathering enough data (from all sources you can) to link devices and browsers that one person owns. Not easy for the average person but with the size of some of these behemoths... 100% possible.
