Sure, but if you separate the carbon from the oxygen and return the oxygen to the atmosphere you reverse the process and you’re back to, simply, having to deal with roughly the same mass of fuel as you originally burned. Which is obviously a tractable problem since you burned it in the first place.

If we had a good way to make synthetic gasoline from energy + carbon, we could have a totally carbon neutral fuel cycle where we use nuclear power to extract carbon from the air and produce synthetic gasoline.

Nice list, like it. Let me add my favorite: Wet air is actually lighter than dry air.

Consider an ideal gas. H₂O is lighter than both N₂ and O₂. Now water replaces some of the oxygen and nitrogen ...

> ‘productive' in some superficial corporate sense

While you didn’t use the word, the exemplar “social” activities involve more productivity in the general sense of the word, than doom scrolling on social media does. There is space in our lives for both.

> holier than thou silencing tactic of thinking we can't criticize culture just because we're also part of perpetuating

That is not what I meant. You implied that people should not want a certain aspect of relaxation, while enjoying the same aspect yourself. This is akin to rich people saying “money doesn’t buy you happiness” while enjoying the outcome of having money. There are nuances, but the appeal is flawed nonetheless.
The closest thing to the "indoor tree-climbing gym" that I can think of might be the City Museum in St. Louis.

Oracle introduced RDBMS in 1979 based off Codd's paper in 1969. Mainframes were all flat file not object-relational, but you could finagle them to be sort of that. Object-Relational didn't come into play until the 90s.

The main issue with object relational as the "main" database is its hard to run reports on. Reports (for biz) is half the reason the system exists. I'm not saying ORDBMS don't have a place, but RDBMS is much better suited for real-time data analysis / reports. I think ORDBMS is popular because it's easy for non-database people (who don't know 3rd normal form or SQL) to store stuff in.

We can. It's called pay directly for the services you use. It is a time-honored system where you give providers money in exchange for goods and services. In response, their incentive is to keep you happy and healthy and prosperous so you can continue to give them money.
The use of "God" in that statement refers to an objective source. While I'm not a fan of the phrase, it clearly means an absolute truth. No bibles necessary.
Another study that doesn't adjust for lifestyle differences. Did they consider that the mice who fasted may have already been eating healthy, getting exercise, and avoiding alcohol? These things could also improve memory, and of course the article doesn't mention it anywhere.

Great job, scientists. "It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends upon their not understanding it."
Not surprisingly, this is related to the observer effect of Quantum Mechanics.
Why not? They could have kernel accommodation for one feature, and user-land leakage for another.

Also, for some features you need both kernel and userland cooperation. Just think of eg fuse or io_uring or mmap that are in the public kernel. You can surely imagine that Google might brew up similar features.

(I used to work at Google. But I didn't have any special insider knowledge about their kernel stuff. Which is good, so I can't violate any lingering NDAs here with my speculation..)

The senior execs are the ones who set up the incentive systems there. They are the ones who are richly paid to provide oversight. So either this is exactly what they want or they're hopelessly incompetent.

And yes, I think we should change the incentives. We should change them such that executives face direct personal punishment for negligent or intentional harm. We should have learned that lesson during the 2008 financial crisis, but instead nobody did time. The worst that happened was that some very rich people were forced to give back a modest percentage of their gains.
Not an expert, but from reading studies I suspect that the specifics like which meal to skip can vary by person. Which makes sense since we all have unique physiology. Eg, some people are natural night owls vs morning people. There’s plenty about the body we don’t fully understand, but executing discipline to follow a generally-healthy eating regiment likely has both direct physical benefits and benefits from a sense of control and well-being.

There seems to be a lot of pseudo-science around intermittent fasting.

In particular I've heard people say things like "You can take black coffee", or "You can have sugar-free lemonade with no calories", or "As long as you don't consume more than 5 calories (or some other small number) your body remains in a fasted state".

Yet I've heard in reality you can basically only consume water and nothing else during your fast in order to not break the fasted state.
I love that one, what this taught me is that infinite sums are fundamentally different from finite sums, and that when operations performed on the finite are generalized to work with the infinite, there are often ambiguities and subtleties about how to perform that generalization.

We wish to use the same familiar notation with the infinite that we do with the finite, but we must keep in mind that while they do share similarities, they are not the same operation. The way certain ambiguities are resolved in order to extend the finite to the infinite can lead to counterintuitive results and absurdities that may not even be apparent at first.

For me, seeing how one approach to generalizing infinite sums yields the -1/12 result, and how that result actually has some relevance in physics is quite profound and insightful and I am happy that you reminded me of it.
Eh, sorry. We probably could have, but you just gave me all these great ideas.

A bunch of models I've seen suggest that from 2016 onwards negative polarisation means that it's turnout of each side's base, not independents, that's deciding elections now.

However the resulting wobbling isn't much different in practice outcome-wise so far because turnout tends to depend on level of outrage which depends on how long the other side's been in power, it's had much more significant of an effect on how elections need to be fought.

(much information about this can be found by googling 'negative partisanship' or 'rachel bitecofer' +/- the word 'model', I'm not including specific links because which outlets/articles/etc. will be preferable to a given reader will likely vary so providing a guide to finding a range to select from seems more useful than my trying to select on others' behalf)

Jobs with real output often have radically different schedules than the typical 5 day office schedule (for better or worse). No one worries that nurses do 3 x 13hrs a week or whatever since there is a very concrete exchange of hourly pay and hours worked. I know a pilot who works like 1 day a week.

Salaried office work may not always be BS but is at least somewhat unclear in terms of output and varies by individual. So if anyone tries to go below our current 5 day 40hr Schelling point there will be all kinds of issues from jealousy, competition etc. Its a social thing not a productivity thing, but that doesn’t make it any less real. We saw how only something like Covid could force attitude changes on full time remote work.

Curious as to what you mean by "dynamically writing code"
I'd imagine drivers for lots of custom hardware that will never leave the datacenters.
Intel compares the performance to a Nios II/e (it's 4x faster!), but at 6 cycles/instruction, no multiplier, one bit per clock shifter (IOW: no barrel shifter), the II/e is about the worst little CPU you can imagine.

It will be interesting to see how it compares against the VexRiscv, an open source RISC-V CPU that's quite popular in the FPGA world with excellent performance (at ~1 Dhrystone MIPS/MHz it's roughly double that of the Nios V) for a very little resources.

An incomprehensible decision is to make the Nios V only support uncompressed 32-bit instructions. This is a CPU that will live inside an FPGA and that will often be paired with a single FPGA block RAM to store instructions and data. By not including 16-bit compressed instructions, they'll add some 30% bloat to the code.

A major negative of Intel's offering is that the Nios V is only available for the Pro version of Intel's Quartus toolchain.

The biggest benefit of the Nios V is that its debugger logic will seamlessly integrate with Intel FPGA's virtual JTAG infrastructure. This means that, as long as you stay within Intel's development ecosystem, embedded SW debugging should be a breeze. With other CPUs, there are additional hoops to make that work. (I wrote about that here: https://tomverbeure.github.io/2021/07/18/VexRiscv-OpenOCD-an...)
There has been at least one rigorous (if small) trial of intermittent fasting in humans which found no significant benefit: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

Although not significant, the numerical data on the side of intermittent fasting certainly didn't seem to show a signal for harm, and maybe for benefit, so if you could figure out how to do this in a low-cost way, it would be interesting to randomize a larger group. (Still implies a small effect size.)
Zuck is desperate to be regulated: he asks for Congress to step in every time he’s asked.

Regulation would be awesome for Facebook: not only would it be a fig leaf for all their social problems (“hey, it’s not our problem anymore”), it would also stifle any potential competitors out of their market. The costs of regulation are regressive: much more easily absorbed by BigCos than any startup.
See Congress every day. Do as your told, not as you see, works on nation state level too, meaning it doesn’t work.
That sounds interesting. Do you have any tips or guides to get started, or is it more like “just stop eating”? I have never fasted for more than some hours before.
It's the culture of the workplace. If it was a good culture, 5 days a week would be enjoyable. Most work places are shit holes though.

I upvoted it.
The schema is basically just static typing for your data.

So the same pros and cons as for static vs dynamic typing in programming languages apply.

(As an interesting aside, I used to work with a system that had relations as in-memory datastructures. They were very pleasant to work with compared to eg Python dicts, because no single one key was privileged, like you have to do with a dict.)
If this technology was made safe, effective, in patient control, and relatively non-intrusive, would you consider it?

> Good thing that everyone's getting depressed!

> [snip] nor is depression a bad thing on the whole.

> The causes for depression are well known, so why are we trying to electrocute our brain into not acting in it's own best interests?

While I agree with the sentiment that this study isn't a great study, these three remarks and the tone of your comment make it clear you have zero personal experience with depression. I hope you never experience it- it's hell. No amount of descriptive imagery or keen adjectives can ever convey what it actually feels like, so I understand how people who've never been in its jaws can be so dismissive. After all, just like it's hard to tell that stuffed inside a ballerina's blood-filled shoes are cramped, broken, _aching_ feet, it's hard to wrap your head around pain that isn't readily seen, much less try to empathize with the person feeling it. So I get it. I understand why you're so dismissive.

The only way I can think of to describe depression is to describe suicidal ideation: when you have a moment, go to your garage, get a hammer, and smash your thumb with it. Not a pleasant thought, right? I'd be willing to bet that if you were to legitimately try, you'd find it almost impossible; the instinct for self preservation is one of the most basic, powerful instincts. Now, imagine a situation where you're in so much pain that this instinct is completely overwhelmed and you actively try to kill yourself to stop it, a situation where you cannot believe you'll ever be able to be happy again, a situation that feels truly hopeless.
That's depression. While suicidal ideation is one of the extremes, depression is something that drives a person to that point.

In all honesty, I sincerely hope neither you nor your loved ones ever have to face such despair. "That they experienced loss is not a gain, and that they experienced pain is not a victory."

It's possible to express a negative view about a technology without diminishing the struggles of the people it's intended to help. A little kindness goes a long way.

The way I'd heard the paint comment was along the lines that "Gabriel's Horn can hold only a finite quantity of paint, but requires an infinite quantity of paint to cover the surface".

> You can't really compare foundry vtt who displays jpegs in a browser with Talespire who offers a 3d environment. It's like comparing a car to a plane.

Really, you can't compare Foundry which has rules support and rulesets for lots of games with TaleSpire where any rule support is off in the distance. Its like comparing a plane to a half-scale wind-tunnel mockup without engines or controls. Most tabletop gridded rules systems are 2d, so a 2d display covers the parts that aren't theater of the mind quite well; it's the rules support that makes or breaks a VTT.

My point is that Facebook likes are simply a manifestation of a ubiquitous social characteristic.

We all get likes. Sometimes they're called upvotes. Sometimes they're called replies. Sometimes they're cumulatively seen as our status in the social pecking order.

Uh, what? It doesn't make any sense to (correctly) refer to this as "why" at first and then conclude that it must be "how"? Just stick with "why".
The hypothetical "most people" in this statement would be dreadfully, dreadfully wrong if they think it would all turn out fine. They are vastly under estimating how much the modern world, in literally almost any aspect you can imagine, is reliant on fossil fuels.
Are you sure they are requiring copyright assignment? I recently had my project included under the contribution model where I retain the copyright.

I can speak to this a little bit, as I've been running a game in Talespire for a couple months now. It's very good! Still in early access, so there's a lot of stuff that's still a little rough around the edges or features that are planned but not out yet, but even so, I'm happily running a game that I can craft beautiful settings in that my player's seem to enjoy.

Remarkably, it's probably more reliable in terms of performance and stability than Roll20.

Even though it can be a little more work sometimes building in 3D instead of 2D, 1.) you'd be surprised how quickly you can put stuff together once you get a little practice under your belt and 2.) there's already a ton of great builds out there, and the developer's have made it SUPER easy to import stuff (literally just copy and paste for "slabs" of content, or you can share entire boards with a URL). Plus, being in 3D makes it a lot easier to handle things like flying, verticality in map design, and just generally living in a 3D world in a way that I haven't found with most VTTs

We have all that. My point is that both doing everything on a computer, and being in your own home are basically distraction machines.
