I saw a clip from the Big Bang Theory the other day, where it was mentioned that there are no knots in 4 dimensions and higher. I wondered why this is so and found this elegant "proof":

The screen is identical, though, which is awesome— I was rocking an iPhone 5S and was able to buy for dirt cheap someone's cracked-screen SE and swap the screen over.

I fully intend for my next device to be an iPhone 8 so that I can eventually pull the same thing with an upgrade to the SE 2.
> The fact that we (or rather I) have an experience of reality as opposed to not having one is evidence that we are not simply biological machines.

That's exactly what a sufficiently advanced biological machine might claim. It may even believe it.

If we could make an exact molecular copy of Jackie Chan, would that copy be able to speak Chinese even though it has no experience of actually speaking Chinese?
Even when the world ran on the gold standard not all value was actually backed by anything - now we're not even close. You can pick a stick up off the ground and whittle it into a boat - you have, by doing so[1], made the dollar worth slightly more since, for all the dollars in existence, there are now more goods to purchase. Inflation is spurred to increase over time for a variety of reasons - but asset accrual is not one - in actuality all the houses people own are constantly depreciating while the land they're built on continues to gain value from age - they gain value from the increased shortage of supply - and they gain value from the constantly increasing cost of building houses (labour and materials - the material increase mostly also due to labour).

There are some incredibly complex feedback loops in the economy - especially in the housing market - but inflation isn't the issue for most first home buyers. Inflation does, however, hit people with savings harder - every dollar you have in a savings account is slowly losing value. That, however, is quite intended since savings accounts are poor tools for economic growth (banks can leverage the value for loans but there are more efficient investment methods - and that leaves us with all our eggs in one basket which might be a quite irresponsible bank that's pumping out subprime mortgages).

People are working, unemployment has been falling like a stone since 2017. That money is going to go somewhere (and for most that is not 'the bank'). It's going to get spent or put into investments. We're going to continue to see strong commodity prices (and most of these have been rising into the headwind of a stronger dollar) until unemployment creeps up, or real wages falls too far behind inflation rate. I think the increased commodity supply that would normally rebalance pricing before demand does is going to be delayed. Why? Though interest rates are low, loans aren't going into commodity capital projects (because risk and returns ratios don't look good to lenders when compared to inflation rate? not sure).
It could indeed do that highly unlikely and globally catastrophic thing, or it could be mitigated substantially by the amount of time and resources that "bunch of banks" have now that this has been going on for some weeks.

Ever since Taleb wrote about "Black Swan events", it feels like people are falling over themselves to identify the next one at every opportunity, and when (through random chance) some group or person gets it right, it's going to be paraded about as some kind of indication of their sage wisdom.

Contrary to the last line, this seems to me very different from "for Python what TypeScript made for Javascript".

Typescript is an extension of Javascript; any legal Javascript program is a legal Typescript program; Typescript adds notation for specifying types, and various other things. Its syntax is about as similar to that of plain ol' Javascript as it could be given the extensions it adds.

This thing you have here doesn't look at all like a backward-compatible extension of Python. It's full of {} meaning something unrelated to sets or dictionaries, and [] meaning something unrelated to lists or indexing, and ! introducing ... shell syntax or something?, and some suffix-asterisk notation meaning I don't know what.

None of that means it's bad (though it looks very much not to my taste). But if this is to Python as TypeScript is to Javascript, then I think it needs a lot of explanation of how.

(Also, is this ... just a bunch of pseudocode you wrote down and would like some day to have something that interprets? Or code that is actually understood by something you've written? Or code conforming to a spec you've written but not made an implementation of? Or what?)

Or just don't use iCloud photos since the local device scanning for CSAM is limited to the Photos app and only scans prior to upload to iCloud photo library which is easy to turn off.

It's also not too difficult to have your unencrypted photos synced to Google Photos, Dropbox, One Drive or another provider as an alternative. They will scan your photos in the cloud which people on this site seem to have a vastly strong preference for. If you don't trust any of those then you're probably already using NextCloud or something like it.
You actually have that option now. I don't the specifics (how you do it) but I believe you can choose from two tracks: the traditional "update to iOS15" and "stay on 14 but get security updates". It's new this year though, so who knows how it will work in practice

If you substitute "spreadsheet" for "Excel" than i agree. But i have tried everything possible to avoid Excel as every iteration just brings new problems instead of fixes. I used Clarisworks years after it was EOL and now am trying very hard to convert to Libreworks. Admittedly i can't completely escape Excel yet, but i am hopeful and it's getting to the point where the bugs in Libreworks are no worse the bugs in Excel. If not for all the Legacy Excel sheets i have, i'd be off it completely.
I've seen grackles in Austin, Texas, USA do something similar around one of their own that had flown into a window and was badly stunned. It did seem to prevent any feral cats or other predators from being tempted to come by, and the noise might have been an attempt to wake up the stunned one (who wasn't there when we came back from lunch, so I assume survived).
That's the sort of thing that buys a LOT of good will for me.

This smells like a straw man. From the article:

> it is important to understand exactly what it is meant by "a calorie is a calorie." The most common meaning is that is it impossible for two isocaloric diets to lead to different weight loss.

I think that is hyperbolic - I've never heard that all isocaloric diets are guaranteed to result in the exact same weightloss. The point of "a calorie is a calorie" is that you need to reduce calories to lose weight.

From the chart in the article, going from a 10% carb diet to a 50% carb diet (which is a huge change) only results in a effective caloric difference of ~130. It is _much_ simpler and more effective to just skip a 100 cal snack than it is to cut all carbs out of your diet.
The two large scale events involved a) known problematic design with a lot bad process (Chernobyl, the RBMK, and especially the condition into which the overall system was put before start of the event, would have failed a safety inspection under then-current Soviet rules) b) a plant where owners ignored multiple reports about dangers of tsunami capable of overcoming the defenses, and ultimately failed to contain due to loss of power to run the pumps (especially since all reactors scammed in the area). Again, failing requirements to keep running safely.
Yes. I've removed the word "recommendations" from the title because there are too many cases of negative mentions being treated as recommendations.

Not a criticism! Sentiment analysis seems to remain an unsolved problem.

We don’t build enough - density levels are extremely low compared to much of the world. Most US cities have a small downtown dense area and are surrounded by single family homes. Even the Bay Area is something like 80% single family zoned.

NYC on the other hand is a good example of what you’re talking about - it’s expensive to live there and pretty dense already. But Tokyo for example had 150k housing starts on a recent year, which is more than LA, NYC, Boston, and Houston combined (source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/what-h...) - amp link to get around paywall.

I think there’s tons of evidence that we just don’t build enough myself. In bangkok, another market, they’re throwing up more new tall buildings every year than almost the entire USA does.

The USA can't declare a party to be a "terrorist organization" solely on the basis of their political platform. It requires, at the very least, explicit incitement to terrorism. German law allows a party to be banned e.g. because it advocates replacing the Basic Law (via free and fair elections!), with no violence in the picture at all.

> My recollection was that internals of A/UX emulation were reused to enable the PowerPC transition from Motorola

No, pretty sure this wasn't the case. The RISC LC group used a custom emulator and nanokernel which is not at all similar to A/UX. The RLC couldn't even run A/UX, which was why Apple talked about porting it to OSF/1 for the new Power Macs (which, of course, never happened).
The data seems to imply that remote work is letting high paid workers move from the coasts to smaller cities, not rural towns. The persistent low prices of houses in rural America certainly backs this up. Meanwhile home prices in small cities are skyrocketing.

> Like what? Many amenities and services have been moving to the at-home or online model for decades - arcades, movies, shopping, car buying, telehealth, etc. It seems there should be less reliance on physical amenities now than in the past.

My parents town’s nearest major store is a Walmart 45 minutes away. There is a significant difference between “we need less amenities now” and “we need no amenities”. Committing to an hour and a half drive for anything Amazon can’t deliver is sub ideal.

Or their manufacturing was so imprecise that they had to make more than two holes to (most of the time) get at least two that were in the right-enough place and where the screw would actually “grip” the plastic.

I expect, though, that the first batch used all holes and that this was a matter of using excess inventory with too many holes after realizing that they could do with fewer ones.
The War on Drugs picked up steam well after crime started rising. Violent crime tripled (288,460 to 738,820) between 1960 and 1960 and population only increased by ~20 million. It then doubled again by 1980. The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act was passed in 1970, and the DEA was created in '73. Drug raids really picked up in the mid 70s. The drug war really became what we know today with the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984.

There isn't broad consensus on what causes crime rates to soar from roughly 1960 to 1992.

Interesting news indeed! I very much wonder what it means long term in terms of Licenses. I would imagine much better future if Clickhouse would become Foundation driven process which gives good protection from license change (through I'm biased here) - Currently Clickhouse fully under Apache 2.0 license may look too good to be true compared to where many successful VC funded projects took licenses of their projects (think Elastc, MongoDB, Redis)

In any case though I expect a lot of growth in Clickhouse community now and investment both engineering and most importantly Marketing - I think Clickhouse technology has a lot more adoption potential than it currently has

> Docker Swarm was created basically to scratch that itch, but it still hasn't really taken off. I'm hopeful it does one day.

It never will, that ship sailed a long time ago. Docker the company is struggling to survive after making wrong bets multiple times. The "enterprise" part, including Swarm, was sold off to Mirantis after years of neglect, and got some much needed investment and big fixes. Nonetheless, Docker Swarm is basically abandonware with terrible reputation without a viable future.

It does give me confidence.

There were three periods in the COVID-19 response. The initial response was limited, because people were still unsure whether the virus was a serious threat. Then, in March 2020, we saw determined efforts to stop the virus that were unprecedented in speed and scale. People were playing it safe, because it was obvious that the threat was serious, but nobody knew how serious it would be. Around May 2020, it became clear that the threat was not that serious after all. The focus then switched to the cost-effectiveness of the response from various points of the view.

The worst case for COVID-19 was maybe 1% of the population dead, 10% with serious long-term health consequences, a global depression, and a handful of coups, revolutions, and civil wars. It would have been bad, but only on the level we should expect a few times in a century anyway. It was serious enough to warrant a large-scale response but not serious enough to mobilize the entire society.
The solutions are political not technical. Housing needs to be something that isn't used primarily to make money. Cooperatives, Vienna-style PPPs, and a society where if your house price doesn't constantly increase you can afford to retire.
'Hands-off' specialists (oncology, immunology etc.) need as much training and practice as a surgeon does. Internal medicine especially so, since they're the hospital's backbone. You break them, you break everyone else. The difference is in the education period: if you're in a 'hands-on' specialty, your level will be very dependent on the quality of your program. For more theoretical specialties, you are the main determinant of your final level. Anesthesiologist here, FWIW.

No discussion of the 3D screensavers in NT is completely w/o recalling the Customer who called re: their server being slow. The technician we sent to look at it couldn't find any performance indicators amiss when he ran Perfmon on the server's console. The Customer was shocked at how well the server was running while the technician checked it out.

Shortly after he'd left the site the Customer called complaining that the server was "running slow" again. We paged the technician to turn back. He checked it again and still found nothing wrong. It was mysteriously fast again, too. That observation set the wheels in motion for an eventual diagnosis.

Apparently this happened enough that there was KB article published on it: https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_KB_Arch...
This is really interesting observation. Much like the author, I also dropped out partway through a degree to do startups. Boy was I surprised when I (US citizen) was stopped by Canadian immigration and asked to show my degree when I was arriving in Vancouver, BC for a meeting. This was in 1998. I later finished my degree thanks to Apple's then generous at the time support. I feel that I valued the education more as an older adult, but I also wish I had just completed my degree earlier, as it was a lot of work completing a degree and working full-time.
woah woah calm down... I wasn't trying to insult anyone.

"I wanted to build a fun, cool project." Is a perfectly valid answer.

I think there is value in people critiquing methods and designs for various systems. If I were building some new project I would want my peers to give me honest critique and constructive probing. I make mistakes all the time and would never learn from those mistakes if others didn't point them out to me.

> "liabd 1 hour ago [–] This is awesome and will enable a whole suite of apps to be build on top of it. Great work"

So even in this thread people are discussing adding this service as a dependency to their own applications. I think if you are building a project for yourself for fun that is one thing... but If you advertise it for public use, criticism is perfectly valid, and should be expected.
I'm not sure I understand why you think Chromium is supposed to be community driven. Chromium is an open-source project that has a lot of Google and non-Google contributors (for example, Microsoft), but all of the main decision-makers are working on Chromium on behalf of their companies, and the majority of decision-makers are employed by Google.
Most religious texts don’t admit a consistent reading, so the degree to which live-and-let-live applies depends almost entirely on interpretation and culture, and very little on what the text actually says.

For example, most real-world Christians and Muslims are highly tolerant of unbelievers in their everyday lives, but that is not what their books say.
I think it's quite important to distinguish between 'legal' and 'ethical'. What Alexandra is doing is illegal and ethical. If we don't view those two as separate it becomes way too easy to excuse unethical behaviour on the basis of 'just obeying the law'
