*according to our small little local window of observations of the universe.

The universe is thought to be either infinite or 46 billion light years across. Our passive observations don't give us a whole lot to work with, they just give us a view of 14 billion light years.

It's easy to make interpolation/extrapolations. Harder to know the impact of conscious life, the extent of it, and how anisotropic the universe might really be.

Intelligent life may one day create artificial stars or is already doing so. The evolution of the universe can be highly affected by a Type 5 civilization. Let's not be so certain about these astrophysical phenomena..

The effect of conscious intelligence is so great, we might have to rewrite some of the laws of cosmology. After all, when a human being with a death star can simply change the angle of the beam to destroy one planet instead of another, clearly the impetus is that weakly energetic states (state of the brain) are extremely potent in the evolution of the universe.

Normally we think that the magnitude of energy is what matters. However, when it comes to conscious entities, it is the structure that matters. This potency of structure throws a wrench in just using total energy as a measure of the effect that an object can cause. Brains use hardly any energy and yet cause absurdly strong effects that we still don't know the full extent of.

One peculiarity about quantum mechanics is that even the lowest energy particles still require the universe to compute their paths and wavefunctions. This has commonly been a target of ways to verify if we are living in a simulation - looking for screen door effects in the interference patterns of extremely low energy particles.

One hypothesis was that perhaps the universe attempts to save computation on low energy particles. We did not find any screen door phenomena though. So the current stance is that the universe provides full fidelity wavefunctions to particles independent of the magnitude of their energy. A low energy particle or system can have a wavefunction of seemingly limitless quantum complexity.

Cosmology currently revolves around magnitude of energy, not the butterfly effect or intelligence. Expect this to change as we further our understanding.
I'd say the main argument for using microk8s over minikube is that Canonical supports it, assuming that's a relevant concern.

The issue for both microk8s and minikube is how to actually build the containers in the first place. With Docker Desktop or the Docker Engine on Linux, you can use "docker build" to build them. Without that, you need to install a separate tool to do the build (buildah/podman/generating tarballs by hand?) and then push it into a suitable registry or import it into Kubernetes.
Since you seem to be confident using political labels, could you clarify what you think "left" ideologies are?

For the record, calling these policies "left" or "right" is silly as authoritarianism isn't inherently one or the other. But whether China even qualifies as "leftist" is extremely debatable even if it was already quite authoritarian under Mao.

See I think this attitude is unhelpful. Free speech may well be being weaponised. That doesn’t mean that either a) the person bringing it up thinks it must be curtailed or b) that there might not be something other than curtailment we could do to tackle it.

It’s like even pointing out the problem makes you a heretic to the free speech absolutist creed.

Machine Learning engineer with a PhD in Maths. I specialise in NLP, but always happy to tackle new ML challenges. I have experience in taking ML products from ideation all the way through to deploying to production. I'm also happy to get my hands dirty writing Python server side code. I am a UK national, but currently based in Austria. Remote preferred.

I haven't used basic cruise control in years. It's actually convenient not to have to pay attention to the speed but I find, on roads with even moderate traffic, it comes at the cost of prioritizing maintaining a constant speed rather than flowing with traffic and generally staying in a lane.
I think it's PFM. I'm not seeing anything in the simulator that lets you add a CRT type of display.

[Edit] Yeah, this is the case. If you view the page source, there's some custom JS drawing "NET" to a canvas. It's hard coded to pull from specific wires when they cross certain voltage thresholds in the simulation.

[Edit2] The implementation is also very buggy. The CRT simulation is just looping through X&Y completely decoupled from the circuit sim. Simple operations like stopping and running the sim while changing simulation speed will cause it to get off.

If you are "aware" you might know that 99% of nuclear waste is low-level (contaminated hospital waste, rags, paper) or intermediate-level (cladding, concrete or chemicals from decommissioned reactors that are irradiated). These will never go critical. Even high-level radioactive waste doesn't go critical because the hot parts are either (a) valuable and get reprocessed into new fuel or (b) have short half lives and decay within a few month in the spent fuel pool of the power plants before being shipped away.
Under which ranking?

Like, it would be surprising if China (1.1bn people) wasn't doing reasonably well (though most of their growth has occurred since they started publishing in English language journals).

Singapore has one university, right? That, along with the 8mn driven people they have along with former english colonialism would seem to be germane to my points above.

Do we need a platform like Medium, but with great support for Math and Code?
I've been working on a Type Theory and Haskell book using leanpub, as well as using Medium for sharing insights around similar topics as well as some light Category Theory, and got frustrated by the lack of a platform that works well for code and math articles.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a niche, STEM-focused platform that provided similar "writing without distraction" as well as very nice reading and discovery experience as Medium, but with full math support via latex, better code highlighting, potentially better diagrams (for Category theory etc)?

We just wanted to pick the brain of the community as we have a small team that's interested in building such a platform -- so any feedback would be invaluable. Thanks a lot!
A certain dossier?
Well put. I wonder if conservatives would have better purchase framing this as more of a 14th amendment thing (private bar owners throwing out customers whose "kind they don't want around here") rather than a 1st amendment thing.
I have been infatuated with Crystal since I first saw the 1.0 release posted here in the spring.

Your questions point out the obvious shortcomings of Crystal currently. While it is easy to find libraries, they are few and their support is questionable. Not to do anything with the language itself or the ability of community, just the nature of a new and small ecosystem.

The team is small but I take solace in the fact that they have been at this for a very long time now (2011).

Once nicety that helps the ecosystem is the easy of interoperability with C-libraries. Many shards are simple wrappers around an already established C library.
Tech moves so fast, I can’t think of a termination event that couldn’t be solved with 1M years of exponential growth.

Even with the Big Freeze or Big Crunch of the universe, there’s at least some hope that some currently unknown science, energy source, etc. might be accessible to us in 1M years that could delay or reduce the severity of the event.

But, let’s say there’s a an event that will somehow destroy our entire solar system in 500 years, that would certainly divide people into two camps: one hell bent on escaping the solar system at all costs and another determined to enjoy every last moment before extinction.
Earlonne Woods Made a Podcast–and It Won Him His Freedom (2019)
I'm actually curious about how the math is supposed to work out in the long term. When I first started renting in Toronto, I was paying something to the tune of $400/mo in rent. I had calculated that at a >$700/mo burn rate, even a relatively modest 200k piggy bank w/ a 6~7% ROI would be able to carry me had I decided to go full-on FIRE.

But fast forward two decades, that's not what rent there costs anymore. Sharing a crappy 2 bedroom there nowadays would set you back at least $1000/mo. Everything else has similarly doubled in price. So to make the math work out, the principal would have had to have grown at least as much, but if you're drawing out your investment gains, it won't really grow nearly as much as it needs to in order to keep up, would it? For someone retiring in their 30s, the savings need to survive at least a few more doublings of CoL.

And this is just cold math, ignoring the human factor. In the US, there's also the question of health insurance (deductibles alone for a chronic condition can take a big chunk out of a 18k/yr budget).

Also, something I think young people don't fully appreciate is that people change as they age. Sometimes that means desires to pursue more costly activities, or starting to want certain types of material things. Maybe you want a dog after all. I've read about a few cases of FIRE relationships souring precisely because of this.

The "move to a foreign country" thing is also something I'm curious about. It gets thrown around as a sort of ultimate magical spell to save money, but at least in my experience (I have dual citizenship and a US green card), it's not exactly straightforward to permanently immigrate to another country, especially if you're not working. Language barrier can also be an issue, especially if you left all your social circles behind (again, from first-hand experience)
> But to pretend that there are only a few copies of this book we can borrow is asinine.

Is it really "borrowing" under the reforms you propose? And to take your argument a step further, why should there be a due date? If your borrowing a book doesn't prevent anyone else from borrowing it, then why should you need to "return" it at an appointed time? Boiled down, your proposal is really just a license to read the book, paid for by the library.

I actually don't mind maintaining the artificial scarcity and pretending that digital assets are like physical assets, because: (1) it's no worse than the system we have in place now with physical books; (2) it doesn't require us to entirely revamp copyright law; and (3) it allows libraries to make the argument that once they buy a digital asset outright, they can "lend" it just as they do with physical books, under a set of principles commonly called Controlled Digital Lending. This is a better option than the status quo, where libraries have to pay highly marked up licensing fees for ebooks.
That sounds really sad to me.

>I am curious how normalising pain may positively benefit a developing child

I feel like this is a story we were handed in prior generations (for context, I am 45) where people (specifically men) need to be "tough" but I don't think anyone really defined what that meant or why.
> As he explained, that means the rider would either need a 5% larger battery to get the same distance, or experience a 5% shorter range compared to the same bike with chain drive.

That's a weird way to specify efficiency of assisted e-bike, because battery->motor efficiency doesn't change, but pedals->motor efficiency drops significantly. I wonder which one they mean.

This article about the history of Greco-Roman Palmyra recently posted here [0] shows that Palmyra citizens made their living as caravan traders ferrying goods from India and China to the Roman empire across the Syrian desert.

It's likely that part of their success in doing so was by having effective alliances with Bedouin tribes of the region.

>"Palmyra’s role in all this was to help get the merchandise over the eight hundred miles that separated the cities and ports of Syria from the Persian Gulf and the sea route, by crossing the Syrian desert to the welcoming banks of the Euphrates and the fertile Persian territory; this was the annual adventure of the large caravans. The bartering and the palavers with tribal chiefs and the bribing of the Roman and Persian customs officers were done in Greek and Aramaic, the international languages of business."

So this "taxation" likely has a history going back over 2,000 years and would be a known feature of trading relations, not very different from paying a fee to use the Suez canal today.

The amount of coping is strong in this post.
That's not entirely true, there are situations where they do disengage automatically (e.g. due to missing/conflicting sensor information). By the nature of the thing it is a) rare and b) the pilots have more time to react because it won't be a "you're going to hit a truck in 1 second" situation unless something went badly wrong before. But there is still some risk to the handover situation making it more likely pilots misinterpret the current state of the plane or do not realize which automatic support is still active (not just autopilot, also other avionics support (e.g. if I remember correctly one aspect around the Air France 447 crash is that the pilot likely did not realize that the plane had disengaged support systems that would keep him inside a safe flight envelope in normal circumstances).

Garmin can easily last a week or two.
It obviously depends on your location/line-of-sight/etc., but if you're appropriately located, a cheap antenna + network tuner like HDHomeRun or Tablo can provide the 'live streaming' of local channels to a variety of streaming devices, and some models do DVR as well.

There's also the HTPC or NAS-based recording option as well, but that's a bit more involved.

Don't remember if it was Windows 8 or 10, but I had an issue that I would say was at least in that magnitude when I for one reason or another temporarily needed a bare-metal Windows install a few years ago.

The actual install went fine and everything worked reasonably well during that part. However, when booting up the system for the first time after install, Windows realized that my USB controller was a USB 3 controller and asked me to provide drivers. Windows then helpfully disabled the controller, the one where I had my keyboard and mouse hooked up, for me until I had installed said drivers. I had to dig out an old PS/2 keyboard out of the closet and navigate without mouse to install the drivers.

Workers didn't "win". It's just that the conditions for workers are MUCH better now than they used to be in the past. So unions are able to do less for workers. That doesn't they're obsolete, just that the line for the decision for "are they worth it in _this_ situation" has moved.

The Frito Lay workers issue is a prime example of "in _this_ situation" mentioned above. Some places are greatly benefited by unions, some are/would not, some are gray areas. And, to a large extent, there's a personal opinion component to it, too.
My problem with this is that we have little proof that people are any good at this sort of task (i.e. monitoring something without intervening for really long stretches of time).

So if data show that people keep failing at it we have to take a look and decide that it's not a good system, not that the people are at fault.

China on the Cusp of a 'Profound Transformation'
The definition of "authoritarian ideas" has recently inflated to meaninglessness. Depending on who you talk to, authoritarian includes basically anything that isn't total anarchy. Whenever the government puts any constraint at all on what you can do or can't do, there's someone who disagrees and will (now) call it authoritarian overreach. The word is so overused now, it's getting hard to take it seriously. That and "tyranny". Whenever the government does anything you don't like anymore, it's tyranny. These words which used to describe significant problems have been watered down and are now being used to describe mask mandates and high taxes.
Maneuvering around congested streets I agree is a judgement call that humans and computers can get wrong. Not hitting stationary objects doesn't take a supercomputer to solve it.
Ask yourself: Is someone a white supremacist simply because he thinks his country ought to defend its borders? That every citizen ought to be given the same opportunities but not be guaranteed the same outcomes? That true racism is the belief that some races are incapable without special help? That true racism is in discriminating against the Asians, Jews, and everyone else who studied hard to do well on their SATs? That all people are of equal dignity? That people ought to be judged by the content of their character and not according to the color of their skin?

What if a Black man thinks these things? Is that Black man a white supremacist?

If this sounds ridiculous to you, that means there's hope. The label "white supremacist" is used to smear and excommunicate anyone who believes in these fundamentally American values that are opposed to the foreign influences attempting to destroy American culture and ideals. It's false 99.99% of the time it's used.
