Climate delay discourse is different but closely related to conspiracy theory, which has an excellent popular treatment in 'the conspiracy theory handbook': https://www.climatechangecommunication.org/wp-content/upload.... Although the term handbook suggests a long and boring tome, it's actually a very accessible and informative article.

One of the authors, John Cook, is known not only as a climate scientist but a cognitive psychologist working on the subject of 'the psychology of denial'.

His inoculation theory has become very relevant also in the pandemic, and provides a solid frame for action: rather than debunk the myths of people who have fallen for conspiracy frames, we should 'prebunk' the public to make them more aware of and resilient to misinformation and 'conspiricist' thinking.

One reasons debunking isn't as effective is because convinced conspiracy thinkers have a trait called immunity to evidence. Any attempt at debunking will be interpreted by them as a strategy of the nefarious powers to further their conspiracy, and thus immediately rejected and attacked. Through this attack, the conspiracy theory gains more power. Any debunking will actually strengthen the false beliefs of convinced conspiracy theorists, which is why it is pointless or even harmful to argue with them. This is why they will say 'you are lost' or 'a sheep' and just not engage any further on evidence, which they will say is planted or something to that effect.

Conspiracies are, of course, just a subset of the denial & delay discourse, but perhaps inoculation also works against other forms of climate action sabotage.
Even the largest companies are dependent on maintaining their reputations as organizations which uphold their ends of any agreements. A company which no one will contract with might as well not exist. They're not going to just turn outlaw and repudiate their liability as determined by a fair arbitration process; that would be tantamount to corporate suicide.
Stock Chromium (which Brave mostly is, UI wise) is snappier, and has things like tab groups which are amazing. I don't remember the last time Firefox introduced a new UI thing that made the browser nicer to use. Containers, probably? The browsing experience on a mostly stock Chromium doesn't differ much from Firefox apart from containers vs. separate profiles, tab groups and sheer speed.

Edge and Vivaldi have a ton of actually novel UI innovations built in. Microsoft's doing a lot of menus as floating panels that can be pinned, which turns the menu into a sidebar. Very normie-friendly but powerful. They also have vertical tabs and can hide the titlebar if they are in use. If they weren't a privacy disaster, they'd probably be just the best browser on the market.

Vivaldi goes more the tweaker way, their tab strip is an inhouse custom implementation and they have settings for just about everything. They have three different tab group setups alone, can slap tabs on any edge of the window you want or do away with them entirely, etc.

I think mobile is where the bigger differences are: Mobile Chromium browsers have tab groups, and tab groups are just as awesome on mobile. They're also clearly snappier than mobile Firefox IME. Stock Chrome falls behind because it doesn't have any adblocking ability on mobile and no extension support. Most forks do, with varying degrees of power.

> Does Brave still do that ad replacement thing?

Replacement is a bit of a wrong word, in that it implies putting their own ads in place of the normal, usually evil ones. Brave has, separately, a traditional ad blocker (built into the browser instead of being an extension, so it doesn't get nerfed by Manifest v3, and can do CNAME uncloaking like uBO on Firefox can) and an ad delivery system that shows ads from a local catalogue as the background in new tab pages and as toaster popups. Both can be toggled off (and the popups are off by default) and their frequency adjusted by the user.

If you turn the ad stuff off, it's close to being a stock Chromium with a bunch of tinfoil and a standalone sync infrastructure.
This makes me scared to speak up in a country I love.
Your argument is wrong or miscommunicated. The AI itself can figure only some of the halting problem results, not all, plus it can make a mistake. It is not an oracle.

Recursive neural networks are not necessarily halting when executed in arbitrary precision arithmetic.
This looks interesting. Will check it out.
The problem with this mentality is that is impossible to create a zero emissions grid with just batteries. You'll find that long-duration energy storage is necessary. Except this can only be solved via hydrogen energy storage. So even EVs will just be hydrogen powered cars in a lot of respects.

Compared to fuel cell cars, especially plug-in fuel cell cars, EVs are the unavoidable loser. They'll be more expensive, heavier, and generally will have shorter ranges while failing to produce a real efficiency advantages.

Natural climate changes are actually much faster and larger in magnitude. A recent example is the younger dryas, where temps went down about 5°C in decades and a thousand years later did the reverse.

Further back in time we don't have the resolution to see such small spikes like what we have now.
Making a few EV is easy, making many is hard.

The Japanese have largely closed their eyes to any problem and pretend EV don't exist.

VW among the Europeans is the only one that seriously has invested in battery capacity and supply chain. BMW has not even switched to creating dedicated EV platforms yet. Daimler is a huge company that has very high aspirations for profitability and they are partially unwilling to that kill their cash cows.

Hyundai is fine and they will be a good in the market.d I mean several, all electric car makers in China that make quite nice cars. I’ve ridden in several where I was like, whoa, what is this car?

Nio is small yet and they are selling only premium cars and they are really design for cities in China more then anything esle.

> I personally will be quite surprised if Tesla can outlive the hype it’s gotten from first adopters

If at this point your are still talking about first adopters you have missed what is happening.

The idea that Tesla would go bankrupt is crazy, they literally have years long waiting list for some of their products. Yes, of course they will not have 100% market share. The point is, Tesla is far ahead right now in terms of how many BEV they produce. They are expanding really fast and they are doing really well on margin. They are well ahead of going down the supply chain, making their own cells and even their own battery factories.

Tesla has proven to be very porfitable making only EVs, non of the other non-startup companies have done that. In fact they do everything they can to not share that information.
My understanding is that if the tick was only a vector between two humans (for instance, malaria isn't a zoonosis, because the mosquito is just transmitting the disease between humans), then it would not be a zoonosis. But in most cases with Lyme disease, the tick is actually transmitting the disease from another animal to a human, therefore it is indeed a zoonosis.[1]

To be specific, it is Javascript based desktop application platform. Each finished app ships its own version of Chrome which affects the size and arguably adds quite a lot of overhead. It also makes developing cross-platform desktop applications much more accessible, thus making it easier for more developers to make slow, unoptimized applications. Overall it has become a meme for bulky, slow desktop apps with Visual Studio Code being the notable exception.
That doesn't make it any less false; this is simply a rhetoric of who started it: the current state is still politicized tribalism.
The whole point of statistics is dealing with those variable phenomena in psychology. Variability is the starting assumption. IMO, we need to find new methods of discovering non-variable and reproducibe phenomena. I like the theory that goals are relatively constant while means (behavior) are variable. The problem is to discover the goals.
Interesting and insightful information. I wouldn't think $1000/ hour as lot from consultant PoV. The billable hours are only small part of the hours compared to time put in other related work, in this case activities like screening, adverts, keeping fit, healthcare, accessories, photo-shoots adverts etc. At the same time the sense I get from your post is few hundred/hour as mid range and not high end, maybe it is my lack of knowledge of how this works, but to me it feels like even that is expensive/high-end for most people out there.

I am surprised that saturation can happen in 2 weeks. Unless I am completely clueless about this, that is probably maybe 20-25 appointments (having more than sex 3-4 times a day especially professionally(she seemed to do most of the work) must be incredibility exhausting ). Even if more was possible I can't manage to schedule more than 3 external work meetings a day that is not video conference, scheduling definitely must be more challenging than that here.

It seems pretty small pool if saturated after only 20-25? Perhaps the screening process or narrow advertising ability ( only few platforms allow/ expensive) limiting the reach or competition is pretty heavy at this price point perhaps.

What you are describing regarding race is they find putting race a filtering criteria helps keep screening easier (Somewhat analogous to companies only hiring from tier-1 universities etc ). Better screening leads to better results in hiring rather than arbitrary criteria, I can attest to this in hiring, perhaps it applies here as well but it usually cheaper /easier to implement criteria than screen candidates better for companies. If institutional resources don't do it well, independent workers can hardly be expected to do better. I don't think anything is wrong in sex workers applying race or any type of criteria, it is risky and vulnerable business without any legal or social support, they have to err on the side of caution if they can.

I am not sure there has been exploration of the emotional stress and challenges for the client too. Imagine being rejected often(race or not) even when you are ready to pay for sex on top being unable to attract partners normally that would be quite hard to accept for anyone.

Also the amount of personal information clients are expected to share and references they need to have (while I understand why it is being asked) is pretty steep. There are so many vectors this information may leak from and could damage your life/marriage, lead to arrests etc. That has got to be stressful too.. I would be totally paranoid towards sharing any PII, I guess a good chunk of rich men in the valley would also hesitate on that.

The George Carlin bit [1] about euphemisms comes to mind. While not quite in the lens of marketing hyperbole it captures really well what it means to dilute the language. The result is a loss of meaning and expressive power. If everything is something, nothing is.

"The problem with selecting significant results from a broader literature is that significance alone, p < .05, does not provide sufficient information about true versus false discoveries. It also does not tell us how replicable a result is."

Yet, in other fields the standard for discovery is p=0.0000003.
You're not allowed though.

One of the counter intuitive functions of code reviews is to keep the code quality just around average.

If someone experienced tries to fix things, his fix will look bad to the inexperienced because it's different from what they already know, so they will push back very strongly.

Unless you have an iron will, an iron fist, and an official title within the organization, it's near impossible to fix things.
Tesla will be a series competitor in that segment when they strategically decide to play in that segment.

The cheap Tesla are cheaper then much of the competition. And Tesla are produced at higher rates from single lines then literally any other EVs.

It simply doesn't make sense for them to go into compact segment yet. They are still growing 50% a year just on Model 3/Y and Cybertruck has gigantic potential. They simply don't have the batteries or chips to grow more. Why introduce more models if you are limited by the supply chain?

Once Tesla actually launches a compact it will be coming to all China, Europe and the US being manufactured in each place with their own battery production located near by.
This doesn't make it any smaller, though.

When you concentrate so much power in one place, everyone who craves power will go after it, so its subjugation was inevitable. That's one of the reasons why centralization is bad - and this is completely orthogonal to capitalism and other economic modes. Strong centralized government without capitalism gets you authoritarian (if you're lucky) or totalitarian (if you're not) socialism.

No, I would not say that there exists something in common between those. Cardinality is an emergent property of a set, but that doesn't mean that cardinality exists on its own.

Did Plato ever make the argument that because his Shapes have corners, edges and angles, that therefore corners, edges and angles exist in the same way as the Shapes? I don't recall if he ever described Shapes in those terms.

From the context of the other comments I assumed something like painting walls (buildings), not "art".
Prebunking and making people innoculated against misinformation would also lessen (if done correctly) the impact of legitimate political influencing, product advertising, fashion, entertainment and government propaganda in general.

"Don't believe the hype" is a dangerous message when those with power operate with hype.

And so instead of actual innoculation what is done is a kind of "believe our hype, don't believe theirs and don't try to work it out yourselves". This ends up with the political situation in the USA of polarised groups pointing at the other side and saying "they are brainwashed"
Might be a strange question to ask, but do you "get" anything out of reading non-fiction? Like, is there a substantive benefit you gained from reading these books?
Your analogy completely breaks down when you, again, fly past the empathetic and pragmatic part of "how things actually are" to "how I think things should be".

Again, people aren't educated about the risks of bringing a tech item into their daily lives, you are taught since a kid to be aware and cautious of strangers. The ignorance is ingrained because our daily/life education hasn't caught up to the reality. Diminishing that reality to fit into your worldview filled with judgment helps nothing, doesn't help to educate anyone and doesn't help the issue at hand.

You're basically soap-boxing, it's quite exhausting to be honest.

Your observation here really, I think, solves your own problem.

We shouldn't think of there being a universal quantifier (ie., a universal "Exists") -- but a variety of ones depending on the domain.

We can construct these domains by enumerating objects which share (eg.,) a property. So there is the physical domain of spatio-temporal objects, fictional domain of fictional objects, etc.

The question of whether something exists then becomes a "thin" one: does the relevant quantifier apply? In this sense most things exist -- and this to me feels kinda obviously correct.

Debates are mostly confusions over the domain: are mathematical objects in the physical domain? NO. And no one thinks they are. '2' has no spatio-temporal properties.

If we just drop the idea of a privileged quantifier, everything becomes much clearer.

There is no "really real", or "really exists!". There are just enumerable domains of objects of which we can form claims.

We don't know exactly of course, but I wouldn't be surprised, if Apple doesn't even save costs with their own chips vs. buying from Intel/AMD. In any case, they wouldn't be able to reach that compute power in a laptop of that size at all without the new chips.

Why would you need to allow any attribute you don’t know? The ‘trick’ which has been known since the turn of the century is to have a whitelist of things to allow and block everything else.

So you allow img tags with the attributes you know and drop everything else.

And if it’s useful to have a prepared list of safe tags, why would that need to be provided by the browser?

> It's not trivial to write a sanitizer that both works and it's useful

While I would disagree with this claim, if it is true it is even more reason to not set this in stone by building it into browsers and instead provide a basic external library that makes the policy decisions that are useful to you.

And of course this is what is going to happen anyway, because you can’t count on this always being available, so you need to include a library that provides this functionality in JavaScript if the browser doesn’t. Which is trivial because this doesn’t involve anything JavaScript doesn’t have access to.

Dear friends,

In this web page listing the main functions that can be defined in λ-calculus

http://jwodder.freeshell.org/lambda.html

one can guess the importance of this formalism as the "holy seed" of all programming languages, but one can be put off by its "esoteric" character. And then nothing is said about the implementation and everything has to be developed and reduced by hand. Good luck.

In this page (eternally under construction)

http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdawalks/?view=lambdacode5

I try to approach the λ-calculus in a "more modern" way, in the LISP/SCHEME parenthesis/prefixed notation, using of course lambdatalk, my iconoclastic implementation without closures, but also, opposite, lambdacode, an implementation with closures likely to arouse the interest of the orthodox.

We can see first of all that the differences are minimal most of the time.
And we see how the absence of closures is easily compensated by a judicious combination of partial applications and IIFEs.

So there is a life outside of closures, lexical context and free variables, and in this life there are certainly no more "free variables" but the text becomes free of "quotation marks" and it becomes possible to write "novels" made of thousands of words in the air and portions of code waking up on demand, where writing {+ 1 2} is displayed 3 without any more complication than that.

It seemed to me that this could be of interest, both theoretically and practically.
But I must have taken the wrong road...

Here's another one I had today: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=maan+leo&ia=web

Maan Leo is a Dutch author. DDG gives me a few bad results about Maan Leo, a few bullshit links about horoscopes ("Make a Leo man chase you"), and finally the Wikipedia page for Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

The Google search gives me results about, well, Maan Leo (in spite of using Indonesian search by the way – this GeoIP stuff Google does is so annoying). For this particular term, DDG is basically useless.

The Brave search results also seem a lot better by the way. Certainly loads better than DDG.
As a person learning Chinese, I find it super frustrating that Chinese brand names are only mentioned in Pinyin, and to make it worse, without tones. With tones, it would have been xuántiě, which makes it possible to properly pronounce without extra context. In Chinese characters it's 玄铁 in simplified and 玄鐵 in traditional script. The meaning is "reddish-black iron". I'm curious if it should be taken literally or if it's a cultural reference of some sort.
