A decentralised, trustless future perhaps?

I'm semi-conspiratorial, semi-fatalistic about society's ability to change politics politically / non-technically. There are too many who are too apathetic (and I might even be one of them by already being semi-fatalistic) that anchor the current system in perpetuity. My conspiratorial side says this is by design, whilst my fatalistic side says it's human nature (essentially Hanlon's razor).

Revolutionary change is often a case of "it" getting (a lot) worse before it gets better, but with the inevitability of returning to the previous status quo just with different bums on the same seats. (I've previously stated my desire to write a novel based on this concept in order to try and explore the inevitability, or otherwise, of this 'revolution for nothing' and the changing priorities of individuals as their levels of power increase from zero to monarch and how that may just be a limitation of civilisation).

I would’ve focused more, got my homework done (even when I didn’t want to). I enjoyed my time in high school and college, but I was a really lousy student. Given that the primary function of school is to learn and obtain the prescribed paper, I would’ve been more dedicated to that.

I think this is the point we're actually in disagreement on: you believe that a statue is a celebration of a person in their entirety, where I believe a statue is a celebration of a person's accomplishment - their personhood becomes a symbol for that accomplishment. In my mind a statue of Churchill is a symbol of war victory over the Nazis and British stiff upper lip, a statue of Robert E Lee is a symbol of upholding slavery, etc etc. The statues we build are symbolic of the moments in history that we want to uphold culturally, not an endorsement of a famous person's total being.

Well at least people know how much weight to give your opinions.
Traditionally, two members of a genus (but of different species) make infertile offspring.

Two members of a species make fertile offspring.

-----

This isn't a "perfect" definition, but the delineation is clear in most cases. In your case, a horse and a donkey make infertile offspring (aka: a mule), and are therefore different species but the same genus.
Sorry to be a stickler, but the concept of “human-made” (anthropogenic) mass is flawed.

Humans do not make mass, they just repurpose and move around what’s already here. (The conservation of mass applies, since earth is almost a closed system.)

When humans are gone, the mass will just return to the earth where it will stay for another couple of billion years.
Simply false. For all intents and purposes, stranger to stranger crime was virtually zero before the pandemic and is virtually zero now.

> AFAIK, JSON was designed for Javascript in a web browser

It wasn't. It was _inspired_ by JS's syntax (and that of Python), but wasn't designed for it. Crockford designed it as a lightweight data exchange format that used a familiar syntax. Quoting from the json.org website itself:

> JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

JSON isn't terribly difficult to parse, nor does it require "generous amounts of memory". Shy of something like s-expressions, it's about as straightforward as you can get when it comes to structured data.

Netstrings are really useful but they encode strings, not structured data.

I'm curious, as a lifelong resident of NYC would You say there are certain sections of the city that are more or less dangerous than others? I have not lived in NYC but have lived in other metropolitan cities and found that all of them had dangerous areas.
As far as your comment on generational wealthy living out of city, I find this very interesting as it seems to indicate an anti-gentrification sort of thing that might be occurring, this is something that I have not seen or heard of in any cities other than those on the decline.
Anyways, I will take your word on the safeness of the city and at some point in my already half over life I hope I get the opportunity to visit.
How about an extension that disables video elements until you click on them ... Like how Internet Explorer treated Java applets towards the end on their days.

You could add a whitelist feature to the extension for YouTube et al.

Sure, it would be nice if websites didn't do shitty UX, but as others have said, don't visit those sites.

The other extension idea I had was one which would reference a database of sites known to use dark UX, and warn you not to click thru.

I myself run a userscript on Google that removes results from websites that I'd prefer to avoid.
The differences in effect were so intuitive I’d either already assumed them or they came to me before reading each respective outcome. Which I’d attribute to thinking a lot about what contributes to a placebo effect before reading this (which is good for my critical thinking, but bad for my capacity to benefit from good bedside manner, perceived competence, etc).

What surprised me was I hadn’t thought at all about how this systemically affects care, i.e. treatment approval for lower effectiveness relative to placebo (bad for my critical thinking!).

What wouldn’t have ever crossed my mind in a million years is the possibility that there could be some bias in favor of those social factors in the US medical system. In my experience, the people serving the most vulnerable and unable to access care have exceptionally poor bedside manner and appear exceptionally incompetent; it’s probably through no fault of their own, they’re likely overworked and seriously under-resourced. But I would have expected that to show the US as less responsive to the placebo effect, not more. (I’m assuming there are substituted placebo false positives which stand in for attentive medical care in these scenarios, which would very much line up with experiences I’ve had and many of my loved ones have had being pushed antidepressants and pain killers and such for any inconvenient medical issue.)

For FPS, see if you enjoy Doom 4. If you enjoy Doom 4 then you should be able to enjoy the whole line of Doom 1/2 - Duke Nukem 3d - Quake 1/2 - Unreal that I consider as the golden age products. Unreal has the most advanced engine and the community releases a few patches back in the day, so you might want to watch a few videos and decide which one(s) to play.

For RPG, there are a few "ages". Check out Ultima 1/2/3/4, Wizardry and Bard's Tale which I consider still fun to play despite the oldskool graphics. If you can't stomach the style or graphics, check out SSI Golden Box products. If you still can't go through any of the above, I'd suggest you try out Fallout, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter nights (Both Neverwinter nights and Baldur's Gate have an enhanced edition that you can purchase).
No, it's just that some people are not as good at quick Google searches as they think.
Call me confused, but my understanding is that pretty much everyone is currently using it as digital gold, a store of value, a powerful hedge against inflation.

Why is store-of-value not a valid use case, especially with central banks printing money so aggressively?

Who cares if it is used as currency?
It is used by millions and that's what matters.

As long as governments insist on taxing Bitcoin as property, it will never be a medium of exchange. As long as it continues to grow at 10-20x the S&P500, it will not be used as a unit of account.

So what?

It is a $1 Trillion asset class that has proven itself as a store of value over the past 12 years. It offers unique technology, game theory and network effects relative to all alternatives and it is protected by a forcefield of hashpower called Proof-of-work that is impenetrable to even nation-state level attacks.

Bitcoin is amazing. I believe it is the most remarkable innovation of the 21st century. Prove me wrong. Tell me about a superior innovation invented this century.

Can't help but notice that the "hut" is pretty much exactly 8x8 pixels in size, which is the size of a JPEG block. Makes me wonder if an unlucky bit flip in the image data could produce an image like that. Or just unlucky lossy compression.

I have no reason to believe the image original images is actually a JPEG, though the image in the article does look like a JPEG. Just an observation I couldn't help mentioning!

You're conflating the military with their civilian leadership. Civilians decide what the military is going to do; the military gets the job done. If you have a problem with the direction and costs of the military, blame the civilians in charge.
I think you're misunderstanding my point - I'm saying that eugenics was bad at the time, even before the Nazis implemented it at horrifying scale, but the scientific consensus of the time was that eugenics was a perfectly reasonable thing to work on, and therefore we should not trust the scientific consensus of the time.

If the scientists of that era said that certain humans were an inferior species to Homo sapiens, and the scientists after World War II said that's not true, we shouldn't assume that the pre-war view was pure untainted science and the post-war one was the result of overcorrecting for political/moral reasons - we should consider the possibility that the pre-war scientific consensus was tainted by political/moral views that we now rightly reject.
Tangential, I know, but my mother-in-law, who has suffered heavily from Crohn's since her younger days, last week turned 100 with fabulously flying colours; mobile, mentally fit and could easily pass as a wellpreserved 80. The Crohn's is still there, of course, but kept in reasonable medical check.

If neanderthal or denisovan genes were ancestral, you would be able to find them broadly in African genomes and some of them wouldn't carry adaptations to environments not found in Africa. Instead they reinforce (and inform) our understanding of early human populations out of Africa.

Prices only go up if the demand approaches or exceeds supply. If there is capacity in the system all is good, more jobs. This is how Franklin D. Roosevelt brought an end to the Great Depression (spending money I mean not UBI)

If the economy is running at capacity and you wanted a UBI taxes would have to increase to prevent inflation. This would end up being wealth redistribution.
Yes. The performance point boiled down to this:

> These programs do not expect large amounts of memory and many are written with the intent that they may be used to process text line-by-line

Which is only a problem if you are being very silly, don't choose NDJSON (newline-delimited JSON) and instead shove 10GB of data in a big [] array that the parser has to read in all at once. Almost every single JSON library can do NDJSON already. One of the most heavily used JSON-over-stdio applications is the Language Server Protocol, which uses JSON-RPC 2.0 and is entirely NDJSON. Same for about 15 different log-yeeting tools. Nobody has ever suggested switching LSP to plain text for performance reasons, only lower-overhead binary formats that don't throw out everything gained by having structure at all.

Large memory use by JSON is not something inherent to the encoding that plain text is somehow immune to. All sorts of CLI programs read stdin in all at once, and you don't see plain text getting slammed for exorbitant memory use.

In the context of the original post, `jc` etc, we're talking about essentially a constant sized output that's just much easier to parse, so the complaint is not relevant to those at all.

Legality aside(on both sides), you assume a media site will take an increase in ‘impressions’ on their site as negative on its own. A lot of these places just care about making it look like there’s eyeballs looking at their stuff so they can sell that ad space at a premium, not whether there actually is. Ie. The places that put these auto play videos.

My question is how much of the operations in JAX here can be done with reduced precision and can utilize training accelerators i.e. TPUs. I've noticed a lot of research coming out in physics, where everything is simulated in at least double float, being augmented with ML approaches where precision is traded for dynamic range.
This totally reads like it's written by someone who has zero actual experience with hallucinogens.

Sure, there is risk that needs managing, but it's not like it's Panadol, with an effective to lethal dose ratio of only ten, yet still available over the counter. Or statins, or numerous other pharmaceutical drugs with potential severe side effects and highly questionable benefits.

As Mr Knutt put it, you are safer handing out ecstacy than peanuts at a party, so get your risk appetite and profile in perspective, drugs are bad, most of them come from big companies in nice boxes...
I think this is looking at the wrong number. The atmosphere "cares" about emissions in absolute terms, not in terms of who or what put them there per unit of utility gained by their presence.

The fuel used in these container ships is truly nasty stuff, with marine shipping being solely responsible for double-digit percentages of certain greenhouse gases.

Just curious: have you tried infecting yourself with parasitic worms that suppress your immune system? That always sounded pretty cool…
I agree the effectiveness of placebo shouldn’t be so readily dismissed. I also think it would be good, for a lot of patients for a lot of diagnostics, to treat somatic symptoms as real. They are real, at least for the person experiencing them, but often objectively too.

Surprised this isn't higher up. Crohn's was formally named/created as its own clinical entity in 1932 and the paper shows one of its graphs (Fig 1) starting in the 1940s. I doubt 8 years was enough for awareness to get out to the entire physician community about the existence of the disease and there were probably a lot of misdiagnosed cases in its early days (since crohn's has a clinically diverse presentation).
How about telling a woman to wear a veil not to provoke erection in adolescents ? :D

It's almost guaranteed to not be caused by Yersinia exclusively. Many whole-microbiome sequencing studies have been done, and this would have come up if it were that simple. More likely, a mix of Yersinia and other species will be selected for.

It does raise novel ideas for how to work with and interpret microbiome studies. I'd like to see microbiota in fecal samples be sequenced before and after a cold test, for example. But even then, you might not see any results. It could be a metabolomic problem more than a microbiome problem, or even more likely still, both combined with an immune repertoire problem and other dysregulations.
The "intuitive" thing is largely the sum of the usability issues that open source developers typically don't have the time/resources to fix or even gather data on.

E.g., how many new users have gotten frustrated with the default setting one of your users described which doesn't allow drag-and-drop of tracks in the view? 0%? 100%? If you knew the answer and that answer motivated you to make an improvement, then that moves the software one notch away from "unintuitive" toward "intuitive."

Most open source projects probably cannot easily get the type of data needed to make these assessments with much accuracy, so they find other ways to grope toward UI improvements. Nevertheless, what non-technical users call "intuitive" is still a real thing, and they know that because they've felt the frustration of "unintuitive" UI choices eating more than their fair share of cognitive capacity.

I just read through the USB-C spec, and the closest thing it says to 20V/3A minimum is in a chart that has a footnote:

"the USB Type-C specification requires that a Source port that supports USB BC 1.2 be at a minimum capable of supplying 1.5 A and advertise USB Type-C Current @ 1.5 A in addition to supporting the USB BC 1.2 power provider termination."

Is there a more explicitly states a minimum of 20V/3A? I may be misreading the table above this (Table 2-1).

This is also the point where the author lost me. But it was because of the dismissal of the molecular evidence. That molecular evidence is very compelling and has vastly improved our knowledge of early homo. Disagreeing with what the molecular evidence means would be valid, but dismissal is a sign of ignorance.

It is even more surprising that people dismiss genetics in a age when national borders are closed based on such analyses of COVID genomes. The nextstrain resource is a great way to get an intuitive grasp of what genetics gives us. https://nextstrain.org/ncov/gisaid/global
