Running away is resisting arrest and doesn’t endanger the cop.

It’s shocking how you moved the goalposts from death, to conflict, to running away as justification for death.

Also, if your comparing numbers cops successfully kill around a thousand people per year and attempt to kill significantly more. Talking about number of interactions let alone guns is a meaningless number.

> A lot of stuff, even bad stuff like the inquisition, wasn't as bad as we tend to think. Against the background of what legal systems in general looked in the period, the inquisition was almost gentle.

The Inquisition, in places, was every bit as bad as it was rumored. You are correct that the inquisition was supposed to be "gentle" up until it pleased the Holy Spirit to have the heretic burned who did not change their beliefs.

----

And in some places, the program went more according to plan:

Inquisitor: Yo dude, do you believe the $CATHLOC_TRUTH

If dude say yes, dude goes free, otherwise continue.

Inquisitor: Yo, here's fifty reasons that $CATHLOC_TRUTH is true. Do you believe now?

If dude say yes, dude goes free, otherwise continue.

Inquisitor: Yo, I'm locking you up for six months to think about it.

Inquisitor: Yo dude, do you believe the $CATHLOC_TRUTH, if not you are going to burn.

If dude say yes, dude goes free, otherwise dude gets burnt.

----

So at each step of the process there is an "escape hatch" if someone is willing to renounce what they believed and submit.

---

But in Spain, it was different. The Spanish style went with the theory that the worst heretics would try to hide their heresy, and therefor agreeing with the $CATHLOC_TRUTH was actually a sign of hidden evil. So in Spain:

Inquisitor: Yo dude, you are a HERITIC!

Dude: I believe the $CATHLOC_TRUTH.

Inquisitor: That's just what a hectic would say! We are going to torture you until you say you don't really believe the $CATHLOC_TRUTH and you tell us the names of at least six of your friends and relative who are also secret heritcs. Then we will burn you. Lastly, once you are dead I'll keep all your money and lands, and then go arrest your friends/family and repeat.

----

Again, in theory, the inquisition was supposed to use only very gentle forms of torture, like waterboarding, but the actual practice in southern Spain was even worse.
I still don't see the point. If you practice a piece, you have to practice how to put which finger where, on a piano or a guitar. It's part of practicing to figure this out.

> Of course, on top of that, you also have a wide range of ways to modify how you play on a guitar.

Yeah, same with the piano. And I think, with most of all instruments.
You ignore all the dumb ideas that came before Feynman. Falsify a theory specifically. Hand waving it away with gatekeeping weak.

IMO Biology explains consciousness fine. Reinforcement of sensory data given repeat exposure leaves agency memory.

I think “higher abstraction” is such a flimsy term as to be meaningless.

Nothing is more or less abstract. It’s just the abstract it needs to be to “exist”. Humans are the abstract they need to be to exist on Earth.

This idea there’s layers of abstraction and meaning beyond what we can know literally is just a neural implant from years of having tribal elders dictating we fetishize a small set of bad ideas ad naseum, we conjure alternatives in order to escape.

Heat pump is how air conditioners work, a heat pump that heats works in reverse. There's no drilling needed, that would be geothermal.

Heat pump water heaters do save about half the cost in electricity over a conventional resistive-only water heater, and are optimal for places with basements, as they also dehumidify; or in warm climates, as they cool the air. So it's also useful for long term perishable storage like a root cellar would be, or in a laundry room. They do cost 3x as much, though.

Residential heat pumps for heating and cooling in the US is relatively new, and I've had nothing but problems with mine - so much so that I just received a full refund on the purchase price of my unit because of manufacturing "defects".

I'm glad you laid out all the misconceptions about heat pumps!

> It's going to be hard to convince folks to replace their gas water heaters with electric heat pump models that cost ~3x more and save little to no cost annually.

Heat pumps are not "3x" as expensive and the price is coming down. Heat pumps are also a lot more efficient than any other heat source! Most households in the US would save ~$500/year on the energy bill if they switched to air-source heat pumps. Source: https://www.rewiringamerica.org/policy/bringing-infrastructu... This doesn't account for business use.

So it works like solar panels and electric cars — higher up front cost that saves you money over the long term. And if the government gave up-front rebates to make the costs the same or lower than furnaces then it's a no-brainer to use heat pumps.

>I'm not sure drilling for a heat pump would work in town here, and then the operating cost would still likely be more than gas (heating is at least 75% of my annual consumption).

Air source heat pumps are where it's at — waaay easier install than using ground-source or water-source. Air-source heat pumps used to not work in colder climates but now they do and have gotten a lot more efficient. These things are really awesome, a pretty good way to slash emissions while saving money over the long term.

This assumes that humans understand the far future so well today that they can make decisions that will be effective and constructive in that context. Optionality has enormous value precisely because a lot can happen between now and then that no one can anticipate such that any decision made today will be ineffective or be actively damaging to good outcomes.

Imagine giving someone in 1920 authoritarian power to solve the problems of today, with virtually no information about the today.

Facebook is primarily a propaganda organization.

It's main objective is to influence, manipulate and subvert the user's judgment and convince them to buy something --- be it physical product or ideology. To further this objective, it has developed an incredibly detailed psychological profile of each individual user using deeply personal info willing surrendered by the user themselves.

It's skill at doing this is what it promotes to it's real paying customers --- mostly advertisers. Users are not their "customer", they are just the marks being manipulated.

Odd that "Stop using Facebook and products it owns" wasn't listed.

Lots of the people who complain about how evil the company's behavior is use the company's products frequently. Lots of criticism of Facebook is published on websites that have Facebook Like and follow buttons, and use Facebook tracking pixels.

Comparing python's C extensions to CFFI is non-trivial because they work very differently. With Python, you implement the Python API in C, but with CFFI you implement the C API in lisp.

Re: CFFI vs. built-in API

The main difference is what features you have. For example, if you need errno, you will need to do something implementation specific (I'm currently working on a wrapper for that functionality though).

Another example: ECL let's you inline C code in the middle of a lisp program. Most other implementations don't.

As far as performance goes, the actual overhead of calling C is minimal, but if you need to copy large amounts of data, that can kill performance.

There is another library called static-vectors that let's you allocate buffers that can be used natively in both lisp and C, on the implementations that allow doing so.
I can get that far; the site isn’t responding beyond the point in that capture.

Creative Writing is a mixed bag. At least at the postgraduate level, a lot of programs do, at first blush, seem to be revenue hubs first and useful training second. Those, of course, you don't want.

But there are good ones out there, and I would say the good ones are candid from the start that you're highly unlikely to write a bestseller as a new author (or ever) and they actively disabuse applicants and students of unhelpful ideas like that.

I did one recently and I'd say the quasi-apprenticeship model described in the source post is pretty accurate. The overall purpose is professional polishing - the degree acts as your calling card. The program isn't meant to teach you how to write, since admission is essentially premised on being able to write at or very close to a publishable level from the start.

My tutors have said bluntly that if you are interested in publishing commercially, editors often greatly prefer submissions from authors who have their Masters.

I understand exactly what you're saying and it's a shame you're currently being downvoted. People up in arms against opioids and in favor of all the restrictions that keep people suffering have clearly never experienced chronic pain. I don't want to downplay addiction risk, but everyone I have ever seen get addicted had it happen with severe mitigating circumstances like job loss, general financial insecurity, family history of addiction, things that made them susceptible. It was never just the pain and the painkillers. I took oxycodone for three years and never got addicted. It helped get me through the absolute worst years of my life until enough surgeries and physical therapy finally got me basically functional again. I guess I'm just lucky my doctors and insurers never gave into the pressure not to prescribe them, but I don't even know now what it would be like given the present state of legislation. My wife suffers from this tremendously on the other side, adult ADHD treated successfully and easily with Adderall, but it can't be filled out of state, can't be filled in advance.

I've worked on a project ~2y ago to rewrite the software powering the whole core business of a huge company (multi-hundreds-of-millions-a-year revenue I'd guess), the existing software being done somewhat like this, although it was a heavy client rather than web.

A guy developped software to automate his job 25y+ ago with some microsoft tech (FoxPro), somehow the whole company ended up using it and the software kept growing until it was fundamental to the business. For some reason it only ran on something like Windows 95, so they got Windows95 servers that you had to connect to remotely just to use the software. It was incredibly slow of course, and you couldn't copy-paste through the virtualisation layer, which drove everybody crazy for years.

The guy had developped that in his free time apparently (wasn't employed as a software developer), pretty good deal for the company who exploited that for decades and became a major player in the industry.

Yeah - and why the developer, exactly?

Not liable:

- The CEO that set infeasible targets and pocketed a big bonus for meeting shareholder expectations.

- The sales person that sold the project for too little money and pocketed a big bonus for bringing it in.

- The manager who allocated too few hours and got a raise for finishing the project in time.

- The designer who drew all the cute boxes on the powerpoint presentation to show how it was going to work.

- The testers who failed to find whatever the problem was.

Liable:

- The poor chap who wrote the code, worked extra unpaid hours to get it done at all within the timescale imposed, didn't have a say in how it was going to be implemented, and didn't even get so much as a thank you.

Heat pump water heaters are not the same thing as heat pumps used for home heating. Please edit your comment to make it clear you misunderstood what I was talking about.

My expectation is that an air source heat pump would not work well here, at considerably higher cost than the gas furnace when installing is included in the comparison. Air source probably not working well is why I talked about drilling (each paragraph is a topic; water heating in the first and home heating in the second...).
