It's not poor people funding Axie. It's whales, who pay poor people for the SLP tokens that their grinding earns them. It's the same economy that was once seen in World of Warcraft gold farming, but allowed to globalize and become streamlined, so that more gamer whales can connect to more people willing to work for them.

Beyond this enablement of more sophisticated coordination between those with capital and those with time, the emergence of digital collectibles might increase the aggregate amount of physical wealth, as the emergence of physical collectibles did some 30 some thousand years ago:

About file loss in Luster file system in your supercomputer system, we are 100% responsible.
We deeply apologize for causing a great deal of inconvenience due to the serious failure of the file loss.

We would like to report the background of the file disappearance, its root cause and future countermeasures as follows:

We believe that this file loss is 100% our responsibility.
We will offer compensation for users who have lost files.

[...]

Impact:
--

Target file system: /LARGE0

Deleted files: December 14, 2021 17:32 to December 16, 2021 12:43

Files that were supposed to be deleted: Files that had not been updated since 17:32 on December 3, 2021

[...]

Cause:
--

The backup script uses the find command to delete log files that are older than 10 days.

A variable name is passed to the delete process of the find command.

A new improved version of the script was applied on the system.

However, during deployment, there was a lack of consideration as the periodical script was not disabled.

The modified shell script was reloaded from the middle.

As a result, the find command containing undefined variables was executed and deleted the files.

[...]

Further measures:
--

In the future, the programs to be applied to the system will be fully verified and applied.

We will examine the extent of the impact and make improvements so that similar problems do not occur.

In addition, we will re-educate the engineers in charge of human error and risk prediction / prevention to prevent recurrence.

We will thoroughly implement the measures.

> But you could read about Big 5 personality traits, which are not nonsense being pushed for commercial reasons like MBTI.

From what I know of the Big 5, it's not very useful for explaining these kind of miscommunications. You can't explain people misunderstanding each other by saying that one is more agreeable and the other less agreeable, because the Big 5 doesn't say much of anything about why those people have those observed traits.

On the other hand, you can explain people misunderstanding each other using the MBTI by for example saying that one is Fe dominant, while the other is Te dominant, as this model posits distinct underlying cognitive processes which cause the person to literally perceive and interpret the world differently (especially in cases where the stimulus (or language) is ambiguous).
I have both an early-init.el and init.el in my .emacs. In the former I turn off package loading on startup, but also set most UI variables so menus etc are turned off before the frame is shown (stuff you might once have done with Xresources). This is also where you might do more extreme performance related tweaks (e.g. to the GC) if you really care about startup time. My init.el then does package-initialise and is mostly use-package calls.

The thing about translations is that they’re not written by the author. You can translate something and convey the same approximate meaning, but it will always be an approximation, sometimes reduced, of the original intent of the writing.

Sometimes you just can’t translate feelings well, even if an apparent direct translation exists. Swear words are a glaring example. You can translate motherf* either word for word or with a similar swear word, but it either won’t feel native or it won’t have the same connotation.

English itself is fine. I recently read “The Gradual Extinction of Softness” [1] and I was unable to translate it into my language and maintain the same feeling.

Your numbers and/or units are wrong.

Sweden's power consumption in 2020 was 172.7 TWh [0].

That's an average power supply of 19.7 GW (172.7e3 GWh / 365 / 24h).

So either you show numbers for annual consumption but have the wrong unit (TW where it should be TWh) or your numbers are absurdly high.

IIRC there was a documented ChangeSelector function that was actually not implemented, so you had to use the undocumented PrestoChangoSelector instead. Visual Basic used it to implement a direct threaded code interpreter.

Some other functions had similarly great names:

You say that like its even close to a good thing. It's unproductive, a waste of time, resources, human capital. It's also a Ponzi scheme because all payouts are made from new investors minus operational costs. Gains are illusory in aggregate.
Well, I dont know either, I've practiced kundalini yoga for a long time, and read about the subject also, in many of the lineages there are stories of the original founder of some of the different types of yogas have received the information directly as some sort of "downloads", like from a higher place of existence or being, not just through trial and error.

There is also the story of Shiva being the first yogi, which one telling can be read here: https://isha.sadhguru.org/yoga/history-of-yoga/the-first-yog... .. you know, but these are of course stories, who knows how they originated.

Still, the yogis and holy men in India were considered to be like scientists today, studying the technology of the human beings, so these stories and things passed on are not just random findings but careful studying of the inner technologies on how we operate as humans.

It's going to be interesting. Most of the copyright infringement going on is clearly of Disney's adaptations; so, for example, when a couple sold me a house in 01999 with a Pooh painting on the wall of the children's room, that was probably criminal copyright infringement of Disney's version, because the painting looked nothing like the illustrations in the books. (And I'm sure she didn't get a license from Disney to do her painting.)

This legal situation is appalling; it makes a mockery of justice and humanity.
i find the simplest way to explain pca to a general audience is to draw a ellipse of points off center and tilted in 3d space, and then draw plots for x, y and z. then center the ellipse and rotate the axes to match the major and minor axes of the ellipse and then show how it can be drawn in just x and y and that those x and y plots are far easier to interpret. done.

I don't think it's meant to be taken quite that literally. For me, it's about using vocabulary that you are comfortable with, phrases and rhythms that you use in everyday life. It's not an instruction to transcribe every sound that comes out of your mouth.

People get caught up in the gravity of writing. I've seen amazing pub storytellers churn out unreadable dross because they think they need to be "literary". It's true that there are differences in the mediums, but they're not as great as people make out. Unless it's High Art (in which case everything is up for interpretation), it's all just transferring information from my brain to yours with as little spillage as possible.

Writers "speak" to us most directly when we "hear" their "voice" as we read. And some of the most atrocious nonsense I have read is by people who claimed to have "found their voice". You don't need to look for it. You use it every day. Follow that and you will avoid writing ridiculous, ambiguous things like "diversion of the field" when you really mean "sport".

It's a transfer of wealth from those with surplus capital, who are looking to expend that capital on entertainment, to those on the brink of starvation, so yes it's a good thing.

Anything (and much more!) you can explain (justifiably) with MBTI you can explain with Big 5 because (1) the only actual empirical merit MBTI has is that a couple of its divides are strongly correlated with Big 5 traits, and (2) there is lot of research on practical implications of Big 5 traits on interpersonal interactions.

It's possible that there are some “just so” stories with no empirical basis you can build around the woo that is the MBTI dimensions that don't correlate well with validated personality measures and the unvalidated narratives constructed around both the coincidentally useful and totally invalid MBTI dimensions, but that's of equivalent value to “explanations” drawn from astrology or theory of humors.

I think you are reinforcing the authors point. That definition most certainly does not present a mental image of prose in which the best word is 'facile'. Instead it makes me think that 'facile' is almost indistinguishable from 'ignorant'.

Compare that definition to the one from Websters 1913-1928 definition:

Fac"ile (?) a. [L. facilis, prop., capable of being done or made, hence, facile, easy, fr. facere to make, do: cf. F. facile. Srr Fact, and cf. Faculty.] 1. Easy to be done or performed: not difficult; performable or attainable with little labor.

*Order . . . will render the work facile and delightful.*

Evelyn.

2. Easy to be surmounted or removed; easily conquerable; readily mastered.

*The facile gates of hell too slightly barred.*

Milton.

3. Easy of access or converse; mild; courteous; not haughty, austere, or distant; affable; complaisant.

*I meant she should be courteous, facile, sweet.*

B. Jonson.

4. Easily persuaded to good or bad; yielding; ductile to a fault; pliant; flexible.

*Since Adam, and his facile consort Eve,
Lost Paradise, deceived by me.*

Milton.

*This is treating Burns like a child, a person of so facile a disposition as not to be trusted without a keeper on the king's highway.*

Prof. Wilson.

5. Ready; quick; expert; as, he is facile in expedients; he wields a facile pen.

Which definition more accurately represents the word as it is used in prose? 'Facile' and 'delightful' go together quite well. 'Ignorant' and 'delightful' do not.
While you’re entitled to your opinion, and I have no idea how many others share your views, I disagree.

The common Web 1, 2, 3 definitions seem well defined and known enough for consensus.

Web3 though, I think is about empowering users, and if blockchain is a technology option that enables that then great. I’ve been following self sovereign identity since about 2014 and thought that would the tech but it doesn’t matter at the end of the day which tech gives people agency, control of their data, and the ability to have privacy.

The point about a mandatory web is moot if Web3 takes off with privacy by design.

"English is a good international language because it's simple, not because it's subtle, and it shows."

I can't let that pass :-)

English as an international language is not the entirety of English. The English language is enormously subtle - but people rarely (these days) learn it to the required level. Ironically, (in my view) its adoption as an international tongue is one cause of this. People learn it to a functional level, to get on in business and life, and that's the job done.
Sadly this reduced, simplified English will likely become what English is (this is already happening) . A bit of a poisoned chalice, becoming the international language.
