I remember looking up a paper (something I guarantee they never did...) some 5G nut linked to me, one of the studies used was trying to show that shoving a mouse in what was effectively an MRI machine did something - this is obviously totally dissimilar to a 5G signal.

The interesting thing is that some of these studies (biology p-values keep in mind, though) did show an effect of somewhat realistic microwaves. What's the catch? That doesn't mean this effect poses any risk beyond possibly existing at all.

My favorite non-screen moments outside of work are;

1) exercise, with company is the best but doing it alone sure beats going down a YouTube rabbit hole. I usually do yoga, running and swimming but am taking a break from running and swimming due to a hip injury.

2) purposeful conversations with friends and family members, just checking in on people and asking how they are doing is nice.

3) writing in my diary (I do this in my laptop so it technically is screen time), the effects of talking through my thoughts and emotions increase my self awareness and put me in a better position to take care of myself. I put my editor to full screen so I'm not distracted.
I think some servers do "chunk resets". The idea is to take chunks with little or no player activity and delete them so they'll be regenerated next time someone comes along. I think I've heard of this being done automatically (chunks that a player hasn't been to in X days will be deleted). It would lead to a discontinuous world though, with older chunks having sharp borders with newer chunks that aren't even the same biome.

I didn't even know that Manning was released from the federal supermax. When did that happen?

Edit:

> The decision, made in the last days of Obama's presidency, means that Manning can be freed May 17 [2017], seven years into a prison term that has been marked by two suicide attempts and a hunger strike aimed at obtaining sex reassignment surgery.

Looks like it was 2017. I had no idea. Is Canada going to take her?

With Go 1.16, you can embed SQL files into your Go app instead of using a multiline literal.

I actually am curious if a SQLC competitor should be written using embed + generics once generics drop in 1.18. I haven’t totally worked on what it would look like yet, but it’s an interesting idea.

Meditation. I usually do it spontaneously for 30 seconds to a few minutes at a time.

Going for walks. Can be combined with meditation.

Cleaning up the block I live on at the moment, or the space I live in. Organizing.

Sleeping. Sleeping is so underrated, yet it is the primary mode in which our bodies repair and renew, preparing us for the tasks we want to take on. It's also how health is restored.

Reading a book, or reading one page from ten different books.

Interacting with other people, in person, face-to-face, in whatever mode you feel comfortable with today's increased vigilance on personal contact.

Just put your phone down, take your keys, lock the door, and walk in a random direction, until you are too tired to keep walking, then turn back.
Given that public gatherings are currently illegal in the majority of Australia and the government are passing draconian laws every week what do you think the average Australian who disagrees with them should do?
How high up do we go though? Is it the news org that created the space for comments? The website owner who created the tools to create a space? The hosting platform who provided the space to host the website? Or the ISP who delivered those comments to the user?

If facebook is responsible, why not the ISP as well? Maybe we should accept that platforms like facebook and reddit are similar to VPS hosting companies where we delegate the legal responsibility down further to the one who used the software to create the space.

This might actually be a good thing as delegating down means a much larger group of people moderating and those people moderate as they see fit but become legally responsible for their actions.
I think he’s pointing out that cultural norms are getting out of control, and sometimes absurd. Not enough critical thinking is taking place. In it’s place is knee-jerk outrage.
Soviet spaceship TKS ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TKS_spacecraft ) was a whole orbital station module together with return capsule, developed up to mid-1980-s. It was supposed to be launched manned, and crew members - up to 3 - would have a lot of space available to them right after getting to orbit. So it could be considered as a long-range mission spacecraft; it would need to have a booster module, but that's solvable (i.e. Agena for Gemini-10 flight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agena_target_vehicle ).
Does facebook allow you to moderate comments on your own posts? I thought that was limited to company pages.
"If you can't choose wisely, choose randomly" remains my favourite discussion of this issue:

As moderns, we take it for granted that the best decisions stem from a process of empirical analysis and informed choice, with a clear goal in mind. That kind of decision-making, at least in theory, undergirds the ways that we choose political leaders, play the stock market, and select candidates for schools and jobs. It also shapes the way in which we critique the rituals and superstitions of others. But, as the Kantu’ illustrate, there are plenty of situations when random chance really is your best option. And those situations might be far more prevalent in our modern lives than we generally admit.

https://aeon.co/essays/if-you-can-t-choose-wisely-choose-ran...

Randomness, in the face of insufficient information or a poorly-scoped model for interpreting data, at least avoids the overt biases of bad decisionmaking systems.

SPARC is an amazing project. Congrats on this milestone! I am optimistic about SPARC and ARC. I'd love to hear legitimate critiques, though. I see a lot of negative comments on ITER, which is a very different situation. ITER will teach us a great deal btw, it isn't a waste of time.
Motivation behind your actions matters. If you are adding your own insights or mental explanations, I don't think that's wrong.
I am waiting on a board spin for my current VFD wall clock/rss feed (I screwed up the HV grounding) but this project is on such a different level. The project itself is cool enough that the nixie portion is just a side note, whereas every other nixie project is explicitly about using them for display. This would be cool on a 7-segment.

I thought I was being fancy by syncing to time.gov and using NIST's atomic clock, but having an independent atomic clock is awesome. Granted, it's likely not as accurate, but for a wall clock the difference won't show up for centuries. Just the best parts of hobby electronics, a nerd project that is extremely technically impressive for a result that non-hobbyiest people shrug their shoulders at.

I’m sure Infosys or TCS got a good portion of that chunk. I was mostly conveying the story, because decisions to get off mainframes aren’t always pure financial analysis… vindictive VPs are likely inhibiting IBM in other companies too.

> To visit L2 you basically need a a vehicle and rocket capable of performing a moon mission which hasn't been available since 1972.

You don't need to land on anything - and that's a quite large delta-V saving, about 5 km/s for Apollo-style missions. So you save on mass, and you can spend savings elsewhere.
Manning is not an outlier. The ACLU, and other organizations ostensibly committed to human freedom, have largely gone the same way.
The name “SWR” is derived from stale-while-revalidate, a HTTP cache invalidation strategy popularized by HTTP RFC 5861 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5861). SWR is a strategy to first return the data from cache (stale), then send the fetch request (revalidate), and finally come with the up-to-date data.
It is perfectly legal to disagree with them. You just can't say things already illegal and have been illegal for a very long time. Or publicly plan a mass illegal event.

This law just specifies who is responsible for the laws being broken.
Banning entry for a whistle blowing crime when the country where the crime happened wrote off the sentence is more important to me than her movement between progressive hero to outsider.

Calling out her crimes and placing them on the same level of rape, murder speaks to a disinformation campaign that gets unleashed but those in power.

I have no clue what her message is but why is it _so dangerous to those in power that they would try to shut her down?

>> How can a cop request information in fashion that isn't forceful? The softest, most polite question is backed by the threat of both violence and arrest.

> This is an American-centric attitude towards government and government representatives.

Of course, you're right. The US does have this unique tilt. it's not all bad, IMO, good to have some distrust of those in power.

But the real problem is decades worth of thuggish behavior by police officers. The awesome power we grant them is sought out by those who would abuse it. This is compounded by 20th century crime and violence which caused police forces to ratchet up their process for dealing with the public to treat each interaction as potentially life threatening.

So the real threat is implied by the unpredictable reaction when you describe the limits of the police officers' power. Some would recognize their bluff has been called. Yet others would double down.

I think a combination of cognitive architecture and other techniques from the symbolic era of AI are going to needed to get us to the next big step. It seems unlikely that training larger and larger models packed full of hidden layers can get all the way to AGI (or whatever you want to call the next evolution.)
> But America's history is uniquely relevant to the problems in America. Where Facebook is based and the tech industry is centered.

Sure it is. But if Facebook, Google and other American companies want to indulge their Americentric proclivities to the detriment of everyone else, they should voluntarily withdraw from the rest of the world.
You seem to be missing or ignoring much of what I'd had to say above.

50 millions live below the Federal poverty line.

47% of Americans cannot meet a $400 emergency expense.

You deny their poverty?

Your personal experience with a comparatively small cohort of Boeing engineers and employees may have been illuminating in any number of degrees. It's a poor basis on which to make assessments of national wealth, poverty, and/or inequality. And even if it were, it still knocks a rather major hole in a foundational premise of free-market economic theory.

Robust sampling and measurement methodologies exist for quite substantial reasons.

Soar is a general cognitive architecture for developing systems that exhibit intelligent behavior. Researchers all over the world, both from the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, are using Soar for a variety of tasks. It has been in use since 1983, evolving through many different versions to where it is now Soar, Version 9.

At least we don't have to join a Telegram group to get more info.
Netflix is possibly the worst example to use when describing network effects. Network effects come into place where you're in a network of people that communicate. Netflix only serves as a content delivery pipe, nothing like Facebook, Twitter or Reddit.
> which hasn't been available since 1972.

I mean, technically they were available after '72. There were a couple Saturn V's and Command/Service Modules (and at least one Lunar Module) left over (and mostly repurposed).

It would be interesting to know when the last time the hardware existed in working order that would have allowed a lunar mission.

Despite my comment below critical of Manning's contemporary politics, I agree there is no reason they should be barred from entry to Canada.
Don't attribute to conspiracy what can be adiquately explained by beurocracy.
While this article spends a lot of time talking about tech companies using “network effects” as mystification, it doesn’t really do a good job of defining or discussing network effects and seems to somewhat conflate them with platforms.

Netflix is a content company now, sure, and the House of Cards story was a lie… but the article seems like a typical business school prof’s hobbyhorse.
Nice restaurants were also a good place to go because they had good customer service habits. Any bar or places that serves alcohol has to have a bathroom.

In NYC iirc, 20 seats or more and built before 1970 or so also required it. I looked this up once after getting sick of being told there was no bathroom at places that seemed likely to be lying.
Orion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft) ) - "Capable of supporting a crew of six beyond low Earth orbit, Orion can last up to 21 days undocked". Can be used, especially with booster which can be launched by e.g. Falcon-9 Heavy, or if more mass required, by SLS (!) or Big Falcon Rocket.
Her sentence was commuted and the conviction was more than 10 years ago, so it's possible to apply for rehabilitation. Immigration is seeking to preemptively block this.
There's a long tradition of wealthy people with various delusions of having the secrets to defeat death, from Steve Jobs to Howard Hughes and beyond. The Christian tradition scoffs at that because it always fails, and exposes the fragility of even massive earthly wealth, where the Christian priority would be to reject the riches of this world in order to build wealth in the next. That doesn't seem so weird to me.
I don't want contenders to spawn like rabbits. I want the industry to coalesce around just a few contenders to maximise network effects so as to kill off C and C++ more effectively.

It wasn't a Supermax prison, fwiw. A couple of different military prisons, but not Supermax. Though it did start with almost a year of solitary confinement.
Since I first replied to your comment, people have figured out that there's more than just the 'time' (that appears at 0:23 in the video) that changes from one video to another. There are 'parameters' that get encoded in the video file name/URL's MD5 hash as well. Compare these two videos:

Original video file name: blue-a-b1-c1234-d-e1-f-g1-h1-i

which is this url: https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/hi...

Another video file name: blue-a-b3-c0555-d-e3-f-g3-h3-i

which is this url: https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/hi...

Notice the differences due to the b, e, g and h values:

- at 0:13 the video is different

- at 0:18 the video is different

- at 0:23 the displayed time is different (12:34 versus 5:55)

- at 0:35 the video is different

- at 0:39 the video is different

- at 0:42 the video is different

Okay, there are a few misunderstandings here.

That is the 1800's classical explanation of electric charge, which is not consistent with experiments, nor does it line up with magnetism, which is inherently quantum.

1. Even in your classical description, what you just described (following field lines) does not require there to be a gradient. If there is a gradient, yes, the forces will follow it. But there is still a force in a static infinite applied field, and potential energies still change as things move.

2. Diamagnetism is a quantum property, not a classical one. It exists due to the polarity of spins in an electron pair (although frankly, this explanation is weak and magnetism is one of the less understood subjects in physics). Even if a macroscopic field has a gradient, it will look like a static field at the scale of an atom, at which scale diamagnetic forces exist.
> U.S. oil firm Occidental is currently developing the largest direct-air-capture facility, to pull 1 million tonnes per year

This prompted me to look up more details, and I found another article about that company[0] which said:

> If governments around the world take climate targets seriously, models estimate that the world will need to bury as much as 10 billion tons of CO2 underground annually by 2050.

So the world needs to build about 10,000 of those facilities over the next 30 years? That seems logistically manageable, so it's probably just a question of what the running costs are for such facilities. If the main cost is the electricity, then the falling costs of renewables could be doubly important in the coming decades.

I see your point, though I'm still skeptical that it would be sustainable. At best, it would have a marginal effect on the overall fire risk, a significant effect in local fire risk, and some effect on the housing crisis (I admit having almost no understanding of the situation, but reasonably suspect it is a complicated and interwoven issue).
Well clearly in this case the person is not living their life because "that's all they can get”. Working 70 hours is a very voluntary choice in this case.
