Thank you for posting that. Odd how it's so much different that most of Watts' writing. Normally I consider Watts to be in my category of "authors whose ideas are irresistible but whose writing style is tortuous" thanks to him fitting five or six metaphors and similes into every single paragraph, but that was an excellent read. I wonder if he intended it for a different audience than his usual. I wish I could get Blindsight and Echopraxia rewritten in that style.

I think the single study that supported cloth face coverings of no particular standard of performance was a mechanistic study that depends on the belief that respiratory illness spread is a direct function of the distance water droplets of an arbitrary threshold size travel from a simulated sneeze. Which, of course, is so obviously true it needs no supporting evidence.

Hopefully my explication here[0] will resolve your confusion:

I didn't say that the hypothesis of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent creator was falsifiable, I said that some of the claims made by those who believe that hypothesis (Abrahamic religions) are demonstrably false.

I then contrasted that with the simulation hypothesis, that doesn't make such claims.

This is nonsense.

Patents are filed by large technology companies as part of the cost of doing business. Pretty much after you do any research or release any project, the legal department will ask you if anything you did could be patentable and then they file a claim.

All this proves is that Haugen worked on some significant projects at Google related to filtering social media content. If anything it boosts her claim to expertise.

The headline for this post is an embarassment. "Might raise eyebrows" is the dodgiest way of raising a dodgy claim. No one is quoted as saying these patents cast any doubt on her credibility.
Yes, should have said energy. As for hundreds vs twenty, my understanding was that newer lasers than what NIF is using should be in the twenty times range, but you're right that at NIF they use hundreds of times more energy than they can deliver to the plasma.
> It doesn't to me. What she said it is:

That is mostly a nonsense statement, public health professionals and the state recommend the same things. Not all health professionals but it isn't like a vaccine would get rolled out without any health professionals recommending it.

> In 70s Ford used political pressure to speed up swine flu vaccine development and that had negative consequences.

And did public health professionals recommend against taking it then? Or was it just Ford who recommended it against every the wish of every health expert?

I don't see how her statement can be taken as anything but "Republicans are also pro vaccine now, so we need to sow divisiveness in another way!". If she truly cared about peoples health she would have taken the opportunity to unite the people and the politicians over the vaccination issue here.

The cold side is what your heat ray hits, the idea is that would be the CMWB.
The author, while making a valid description of the scientific process, is misconstruing Dr. Fauci's statement, “a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly are attacks on science.” as an assertion of authority or a claim that doubting him is doubting science when, what he said is that a lot of what appears as attacks on him are, in fact, attacks against science itself and the very scientific method the article tries to describe.

Furthermore, the political positioning of the author is completely exposed by his insistence that the question of the natural origin of SARS-Cov2 is an open question. If there is actually any evidence in favor of that, it'd be in the virus genome and easily demonstrable. In the absence of such evidence, whoever proposes this hypothesis would need to present a way to verify it and, failing that (no, a wild goose chase for an imaginary weapons lab is not a way to verify it, as invading a country because of WMDs was not a way to prove Iraq had WMDs - which they didn't).

Furthermore, when discussing Biden's “following the science,” he doesn't seem to perceive epidemiology is one science of many. Economics, Psychology, and many others are used to guide policy towards what provides what is judged the best outcome. In that, one follows the science to inform on policy decisions.

It is extremely disappointing to see such a dubious piece in the WSJ.

To humanize the victim without ascribing blame, when blame is unknown. For the same reason you wouldn't have a headline that read "Alice killed Bob with her car": even though that may technically be true, it's needlessly critical. Needless from the perspective of an editorially neutral party, like a newspaper, but not from the perspective of an activist, like this website.

That was an interesting series of events. The initial run was not warranted in hind sight. But at the time no one knew how bad it was going to get and how long everything was going to be shut down for. After that though if you did not join in then you were potentially out of toilet paper for a couple months.
Just built a system that I managed to get a 3080Ti for at MSRP. I’ve spent a lot of effort to have it be silent (and extremely cool) with just air cooling, even when it does play games.

With a 5900X (slight overclock for max boost at 5.1GHz), some lightly overclocked 64GB of DDR4 memory, two 27” 1440p displays, a phone dock, KB, mouse, web cam and condenser mic it idles at about 150W.

General productivity, like development with a few VMs spun up, and maybe watching a 1080p video in the background? Maybe 180W.

Streaming a game. So I’m capping myself at 1080p60, which does not stress the 3080Ti with all settings maxed out. Two LED light rings also on, plus an LED pendant lamp. Now we’re squarely in 350-400W land for the entire setup.

Not streaming. 1440p, capping at 120fps (displays go to 170Hz). If settings are cranked up on a very recent title and I’m GPU bound, this is where the GPU alone can actually hit 400W by itself in some scenes (usually 280-350W) and the total power consumption for the room maxes at 600-650W.

—- ——-

There’s 6 140mm PWM case fans, the CPU has two 150mm PWM fans, and the GPU has three 92mm PWM fans. Case is all steel with sound deadening foam on both side panels. In every settings it’s silent unless I’m “going for broke” at max quality for averaging 120fps, where it’ll then be a “light whirr” once it’s heat soaked, which I’ve measured at 24.8dBA at 3 feet (~92 cm). GPU peaks at 76C, GPU memory peaks at 70C, CPU is around 65C, and system memory at 35C. All air cooled.

—- ————

Here’s the thing. Come next year, it’ll be a 32-core Threadripper with 256GB of memory and a NVMe RAID 10 array for real work with Spark without constantly paying by the hour. The CPU, storage, and system memory alone will probably pull 500W under max load factoring in the displays, KB and mouse. Still will idle close to 165W though.

I actually don't disagree with your overall point when we're talking specifically about losing weight. For losing weight, it's all about limiting your consumption of calories from any source while increasing the amount of calories you burn daily.

Similarly, when I'm bulking to gain muscle mass I just eat more calories than I usually feel comfortable eating. However that doesn't mean eating a ton of chips or soda or "empty" calories from alcohol, it means tons of actual food, whether it be chicken or pad thai or chocolate milk. IMO, it's much more important to be watching what you're eating when you're putting on weight.

Personally I don't like the idea of keto because it seems really hard on your liver and kidneys, and that doesn't seem worth it at all from a health tradeoff perspective.
I suspect that most people who are willing to the simulation hypothesis seriously would be somewhat open to the idea of "God" in the very broad sense of some intelligent and powerful agent or agents that exist outside our current scientific understanding, but still not open to some specific idea of "God" in some specific organized religion like Christianity. The analogy would be some extremely specific hypothesis, like that our Universe is being simulated by a quantum computer built by Peter Shor in his basement in 1995.
I don't understand why nuclear waste is considered a significant issue. You either bury it, or leave it on site enclosed in concrete.

We bury much worse chemicals with little to no regulation right now.

There's many solutions to put nuclear waste in a stable form such as vitrification.

There's no time left, feel like screaming at the world that we are okay with putting carbon indefinitely in the air instead. Nuclear waste is such a small issue in comparison.
Yep. The memory-holing is already going strong. In another year, all those "now-deleted" links won't work anymore, and everyone will keep claiming the government never lied, and you'll be a nutter if you claim the government ever said masks don't work. You'll be banned from all forms of conversation, and labeled "alt-right."

The techno-utopia is awesome.
I've disagreed with the general global response at essentially every step. I think any reasonable person would have done better, and get the feeling that there are likely ulterior motives and disgraceful politicised actions to explain how bad the response was.

In particular, in the beginning there were very clear indications given by Taiwan and China that there was a dangerous virus spreading among the people. Yet sick Chinese people were free to spread over the world for months with no response except down-playing it. They practiced the opposite of the precautionary principle and horrendous risk management.

When politicians knowingly lie to everyone's faces and take harmful actions against the people, pushing toward a more authoritarian society at every opportunity, how can you have any trust and not wonder about conspiracies?
>"because you refuse to follow sane and frankly manageable guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

As a point of order we can't treat "manageable guidelines" as a monolith as there have been a ton of "guidelines" and rules imposed over the last three years that were dubious, farcical, or overly intrusive. Like supermarkets cordoning off the greeting card aisle because social gatherings like parties were prohibited. Or gyms being told not to play music above a certain BPM because more intense exercise could enable Covid to spread more easily [1]. Going to the beach alone can get you arrested, but standing in a crowded Costco is acceptable. And so on. There's a lot more to the resentment and outrage than people simply being upset at the inconvenience of wearing a mask.

Plenty of small business owners and restaurateurs had their livelihoods destroyed because the government went back and forth on restrictions and enforcement.

Finland with its cold winters doesn't exactly have a lot of sunlight and it knows better than to depend on Russia for energy, so at this point geographical reality is that nuclear power really seems the best option.
I was with you until degrowth, kind of.

But we could 1000x the number of nukes and not run into the power generation or waste problems. Now, with that much energy we would have far more of a growth problem far worse than today, but that's not really nuclear's "fault", that's more a downstream issue.

I have a secret suspicion renewables are popular precisely because they have scaling issues. For the certain easy-to-dunk-on degrwoth fan who has more guilt than clear thinking, the idea of renewables as a sort of self-flagellation austerity is attractive.

The problem is our society (or "Captialism"), even, pushes for growth because a feeling for austerity. Only with the feeling of abundance do we step off the gas. Things like UBI and nuclear, which they fear will lead to a spending spree and rampant new consumerism, should instead turn off the real and metaphorical cortisol that leads to these things in the first place.

The best stuff I've read about degrowth is from Nathan Tankus, who's got the necessity for needle-threading down, along with the skills to actually do the threading. I will try to find something that is not a tweat.
Really agree with that. 'Plant-based meat' is just barely an improvement on, and still very much in the same zone as 'vegetarian burger', 'vegetarian x' - what? What is it?!

Jackfruit for example makes a pretty good burger (at least, I like them, so I keep making them). The resulting burger is vegetarian, yes. But at a restaurant I'm never going to order 'vegetarian burger', just like I wouldn't order 'meat pie', it just doesn't sound at all appetising (someone's going to call me out here with 'fish pie'... sure, but that's an established dish, and you have a good idea of the fish/seafood you should expect).

'Vegetable' is slightly better in that it at least doesn't sound like 'this is the knock-off version if you have specific requirements' - 'vegetable lasagne' is sort of fair enough for example. Still not as good as being a bit more descriptive though.

Not to say that I want to teach these places to do a better job on their menus - it's a great indicator to avoid them!
Hm, but the idea (in the article as well) is that savings _are_ being used for investments and overwhelmingly so; and because of this, investment returns are going down. Does this part need further justifying? If you have a finite amount of assets and instruments where money can be invested and you have more money being invested into them, you'll have lower returns in the end. Why this is in particular I guess depends on the asset class in question - e.g. as more money goes into index funds, the prices (of shares and therefore their indices) will rise, therefore lowering overall dividend yields (relative to share price). RE prices will rise, etc.:

"Atif Mian, Ludwig Straub and Amir Sufi agree with partisans of the demographic view, such as the economists Charles Goodhart and Manoj Pradhan (whose view I have spent fair amount of space on here), that a key contributor to falling rates is higher savings. Savings chase returns, so when there are more savings and the same number of places to put them, rates of return must fall.

Mian, Straub and Sufi disagree, however, about why there are ever more savings sloshing around. It is not because the huge baby-boom generation is getting older and saving more (a trend that will change direction soon, when they are all retired). Rather, it’s because a larger and larger slice of national income is going to the top decile of earners. Because a person can only consume so much, the wealthy few tend to save much of this income rather than spend it. This pushes rates down directly, when those savings are invested, driving asset prices up and yields down; and indirectly, by sapping aggregate demand."

> Quite frankly, it's because population growth is slowing down.

I thought the article dispelled this particular myth in particular, but maybe I'm wrong?

The thing is, the argument against stacking rocks or playing music is intellectually dishonest. Other species have no qualms about modifying their environment. A crow on a tree won't shut up. A squirrel will not decide to carry a nut to a specific location in the name of sustainability. They are perfectly selfish and engaged in a war for survival. That is what species actually do, naturally.

The people who are against music and cairns in parks are not protecting any natural law. They are protecting their specific terraforming project, a park. It is driven by a purely human concept of "sustainability" and cannot possibly be something that existed in a world without humans.

Now, that is a nice terraforming project they are protecting (notice how "nice" is another human concept?) We also tend to spend a lot of energy protecting species that trigger the same neural pathways in our brains as human babies, even if the species would most likely go extinct without our intervention (pandas).

What environmentalism actually does is act as a brake on our other terraforming projects, allowing us to go on terraforming longer and not turn our environment into something inhospitable. But even that is entirely anthropocentric.

Exactly this. The human-factors-engineering take is that these should be mutually exclusive:

- a driver should be able to brake if a person falls suddenly (streets)

- a person is isolated from/ is incapable of falling suddenly into oncoming traffic (roads)

It's the same reason highways are fenced off, extended to streets and roads. A big part of the problem is America's reliance on stroads: too fast to be hospitable for non-drivers, insufficiently isolated to protect non-drivers.

The same applies for others like wind and solar. Do they really calculate all the costs? It was easy for nuclear to cook books in the past. I feel other energy sources are doing it nowadays.
