I would say that this is what sets apart "classical art" and "modern art".

"Classical art" is a technical feat that produces emotions in you through its execution, through the beauty of the "art piece" itself. Beatles' songs were closer to "classical art"; I want to hear "Yesterday" because of its melody.

"Modern art" is an otherwise uninteresting material piece with a large bunch of metainfo attached: the author's personality and connections, the stories behind its creation / exhibition / resale, being in the circle of those who know about this particular piece or author, a practical joke or an ironic reference that the art piece or its metainfo comprises, etc. This metainfo is what produces the emotions, not the object which formally is the "art piece". Ringo's gallery items are firmly in the "modern art" category.
The whole "what about at night?!" line has been trotted incessantly out here, slashdot, hackaday, reddit, etc like people in the utility industry aren't aware. A huge amount of electrical load happens during the day that doesn't happen in the dead of the night, which is why many utilities offer nighttime cheaper rates.

That hasn't stopped utilities from deploying wind and solar for 40% of their new generation over the last year or two, while shutting down coal plants left and right. For half a decade it's been considered settled fact that solar and wind are cheapest and the way forward. So, maybe this isn't as big a deal as you think it is.

Attention long ago shifted toward planning the grid to accommodate that, and also on grid-scale storage projects. Pumped hydro has been used extensively in the UK for decades because every time the BBC finished a program, everyone watching TV would fire up their electric kettle at the same time. There are several pumped hydro installations in Canada and the US as well.

Most EVs can schedule charging cycles and numerous utilities provide special rates for customers who agree to some level of utility control on their charging similar to how utilities provide discounts to people who let them tweak their AC thermostat; you can still override it, in most cases. In Australia, going back several decades, there was a grid load reduction signal system that worked by generating a harmonic that load reduction switches would look for.

An increasing number of EVs are set up to be able to backfeed power into the grid, and the idea is that they could do so on request from the utility.

Lots of utilities offer off-peak billing incentives. Imagine a world where your fridge does most of its cooling during the day, and "rides" through the night, etc.

EV charging stations are starting to come with their own local battery systems because DC fast charging, particularly at 800V, is enough power that it can be difficult to get enough electrical service and in some locations the station sits unused for a fair period of time.

Add in the fact that lithium ion battery prices continue to plunge following expected rules about production costs, as well as other technologies maturing; there's an iron salt based flow battery that looks really promising, made of very cheap and extremely prevalent materials (salt, iron, and water mostly) and scales fairly well.

Describing systemd as "product tying" is ridiculous. The product is the OS distribution. Even in the heady days of a dozen of diverging Unix vendors, nobody was pitching their user-pluggable init system. What's next, coreutils and busybox are illegal, because I don't want my `cp` and `mv` from the same vendor?
Poor baby! Thank you for taking such good care of her into her old age.
It's quite simple: there IS a "tangible, quantifiable advantage to doing so". The problem is that you imply "...to the person writing the code". That's where your confusion lies.

I am getting huge value from the people who built stuff before me. When I build stuff I can (hopefully) make the world better in the future. That's a "tangible, quantifiable advantage" to doing open source. It's just not an advantage to me personally. But lift your gaze an inch off the ground and you'll see we don't need to be ego centric sociopaths. We can build together. For the species. Everyone wins.
How many ways I hate your comment? let me count the ways.

1. Somebody comes with a potentially awesome idea, you have a gut feeling it's risky, and start looking for confirmations of your gut feeling. Way to #hit on somebody else's initiative.

2. "The virus" (we all know we aren't talking about tuberculosis here) is airborne, which means it'll float around. If there are shadows it's not "over", it what scenario it would even mean anything for shadows to be game over? An instantaneous flash once?

3. An alternative is not an argument. Hepa filters work, and I completely agree that we should be using them a lot more but:

3.1 We aren't using them a lot more, so for some reason they don't fix the problem, so alternate solutions are very welcome

3.2 There's room for more than one took in a toolkit, for reasons too obvious to get into.

----------------

Now why am I taking the time to write a comment 5x the length of yours? Because you're merely doing in a somewhat more obvious and inexperienced way what society has been doing for... at least a couple dozen years. Anything new is risky, we should carefully study side effects and only when it's clear there aren't any we're allowed to move forward. This is especially true for medical tech, but it's part of a larger disease that's in the same constellation with NIMBY, regulatory capture and taxi medallions being worth a million.

Covid made it obvious that a lot of emperors didn't wear clothes. We could have had mRNA vaccines quite a bit earlier - and I'm sure the companies involved would have been perfectly happy to make money from them. But no, there had to be a pandemic for regulatory agencies to even consider approving such new tech.

We could have had WFH ten years ago, the tech was here. It took barely weeks for IT departments and worflows to adapt. But no, managers had to negotiate in the strictest terms for even one day a week of WFH, because it's Something That Is Not Done.

And you have a gut feeling that it's risky tech, and I get triggered.

The use of the word "prosocial" in the abstract is very confusing to me. They seem to be using it to describe actions which sound good but result in much worse real-world outcomes, right?
Okay! It's been reworked with all of this new information, so it knows what words are possible. And I also had it output what it would consider to be the worst-case scoring and it matches the adversarial's scoring! Here's what I get now:

I recognized this need in myself a few years ago and created a website to expose me to new experiences and ideas: locserendipity.com

Right now I am reading a book I discovered through the site, The Evolution of Prime Intellect (using the Wikipedia randomizer at https://www.locserendipity.com/WikiRand.html). I also find films this way (https://www.locserendipity.com/Film.html). It’s definitely an escape from algorithmic and social news feeds and the like.

As someone who has done both on multiple occasions and not come out of the experiences suffering any less, I can say that these are by no means the panacea they're often held out to be. It's fantastic that these options seem to be very helpful to many, but I feel that MDMA and Ketamine - as well as Psilocybin - are suggested with far too much confidence on the outcome.

Just like with humans, exercise is a major factor in health. Outdoor cats generally get way more.

Another factor for this observation (that I also made) could be genetics - generally "pure-bred" (aka more likely to suffer from disease linked to genetic factors) are more likely to be strictly-indoors while outdoor cats are more often "mongrels".
I upvoted the parent, and I would add another important step, namely:

- Compare: read similar papers (such as papers trying to solve the same problem both before and after the current paper) to get a sense of the whole space and range of methods tried to date. Also, look what later papers say about the paper under scrutiny.

Finally, reflect on how the various papers found in the 'Gather' phase related to each other: do they refine each other, refute, supersede etc.?

> This would force insurers to negotiate with hospitals to treat these patients rather than incur the liability.

The ROI here functionally never makes sense for the insurer to do this, unless clients are paying enough to offset the cost of paying all unidentified people.

> You are in no way guaranteed to be treated.

Are you saying that this is the case today, or that this is how it would be. Because I agree with you. Despite laws that require doctors to treat you that exist today (to prevent this exact scenario), no one ever holds a gun to anyone's head. There's no need for violence. Professional (and in general civil) consequences are enough to enforce this.

> She's clearly coercing you.

Coercion requires force or threat. From me shooting you is the same as the harm from me starving you, so the threat is the same. A grandmother being upset isn't a threat, and certainly not the same level of threat, not is it force. So perhaps let's ask a different question: is choice freely given when your life is threatened?

> Doing what "people like" isn't the same as being ethical.

Utilitarians would disagree with you.

The root problem with how you approach the world is that you see any government force as worse than all force by everyone else. Like given how your approach contacts, if I coerced you to sign yourself into slavery, that's acceptable, since it meets your definition of "strictly voluntary, at-will, consensual".

If you believe government is the worse bad and nothing else can be as bad, sure that's a viewpoint. But it fails when you have other powerful organizations that hold the same power over an individual as a government does.

Imagine for a moment another extreme example where the government has a total use of force monopoly, and I have a monopoly on the water supply. You say that is unethical for the government to act against me, and also unethical for individuals to act against me, no matter what. This is true even if I use that Monopoly to enslave people or commit genocide, because I'm doing it without violence, only coercion. If that's your ethics, something's broken.

And pragmatically it's also stupid: people will lose faith in a government that fails to protect them. So a government that fails to protect its citizenship effectively will quickly cease to exist (the people with guns will desert to protect their families and tada: a new government). So once you accept that democracy is ethically good (and really even if you don't), the ethics are irrelevant. Governments must keep people happy or they will quickly cease to exist. And I subscribe to the idea that the purpose of a system is what it does. Governments try to make their citizens happy. If they don't, they'll be replaced by one which does, because that's what the people want. Your job is then to convince me, and everyone else's that sacrificing my safety is worth a government that is in your view more ethical.

Of course but in China you'll never see the (almost mandatory) "we're just as bad, if not worse" comment whenever an issue of national security comes up.

I also note that China blocks all foreign social media from their markets whilst running some of the most invasive apps (e.g TikTok) in ours.

That was mostly feature expansion. I meant improvement of existing workflows. Maybe high DPI would count. I didn't have high DPI monitor back then, but those who did maybe were pleased.

Fixing a bug in shell script, even if 30 times, is still much easier than downloading, understanding modifying and compiling and deploying 4000 files and 1.6 million lines of systemd C code. There is an obvious cost/benefit factor here.

If systemd fixed just init and basic service management in correct and minimalistic way, maybe fixing its C code here and there by power users would be rational. Not with the ever-expanding pile of prototype-level software we got. I'm not reading that code, not even for money.

Texting and voice calls (and voice mails) are the only skills our parents know. I've tried teaching them FaceTime, WhatsApp, some cooperative social games. Nope, too late.

Once our parents pass, I probably won't even have a normal phone plan. The only other calls I get are telemarketers. Maybe switch to prepaid. For emergency services, and all these services using texts for 2FA.
Yea, but it works cross platform and on mobile. With the ability to carry voice connections from one to the other. Or even switch from wifi to mobile data without dropping. Even view people sharing their screen from mobile. For large teams and businesses I haven’t used anything better yet and we’ve gone through a lot over the years. Also Teams has met some strict Infosec reqs we need for mobile.

Pretty much. Programming is just reading and typing, reading and typing. So it makes some sense to just start out by reading and typing code you wish you could write.
Only one instrument the MIRI needs active cooling. Rest is all passive cooling. It has a closed loop cooling system so it will not run out of refrigerant. Once it runs out of fuel it will eventually drift out the L2 point and might lose orientation. They feel they can stretch the mission up to 20 years with the saved fuel. There is a port for refueling the craft in the future but the technology needs to built.

> But it also introduced big nasty software full of bugs

If a bug happens in this code, everything is affected, everyone screams at the same time, it is obvious there is a bug, and once its fixed, its fixed everywhere and for every service.

If there is a bug in one of the old init scripts, it may go unnoticed for several years, until suddenly someone needs service Bar depend on Service Foo, but Bar cannot figure out the state of Foo correctly, and good luck to whoever has to solve this: unless the combination of services is a popular one, whoever has this problem, is likely the first to encounter this, there is no general outcry because nothing else is affected by it. A fix may not be forthcoming because the behavior may not even be considered a bug (the maintainers of Foo and Bar may simply disagree how some service state is to be communicated), and usually someone has to trawl through a pile of sh scripts (because backward compatible all the way to the 90s it has to be!) and implements a fix, which then gets destroyed by an update when the guy who fixed it is on holiday.

As someone who has been that exact guy, I have to say sorry but no, I don't want to do this any more.
