Exhausting if not exhaustive.

I think everybody has their own history. I get into discussions about race IRL all the time but never online. (If race gets talked about online where I see it is secondary to the ‘war on woke’ —- BLM only matters because a BLM critic got ‘canceled’.) Lately a friend of my son fell under the spell of a notorious ‘black pill theorist’ which got me looking at the current manosphere on YouTube.

My understanding is that the ‘pickup artist’ phenomenon burned out around around 2013 or so, I am LMFAO the there is a woman who sells dating advice that includes pickup lines out of mystery’s book. I have not seen a woman get into a fight with a PUA in 2022 but all the other manospherists think they are grifters. (E.g. exploit lonely men, not exploit women.).

‘Friendzone’ is a popular word today, other ones aren’t. A genre of reaction videos to TikTok videos got big recently, trends are evolving on a week to week basis. My take is that YouTubers who think ‘life sucks’ are resonating with people because of the effects of the pandemic, but I also think they don’t have insight into it.

Everybody else has their own story. The method of discourse used in this blog post fills pages but never proves anything. (Is that the point of so-called rationalism?)
Nothing in the above negates what you said - Russia wants to expand beyond its borders, and create a buffer with Western Europe - and given population and hydrocarbon based economy, it’s now or never…
I wasn't implying that Covid is harmless, only that vaccinating children against it should be a choice given the data on risks/benefits we currently have.

#2 and #3 are very difficult in Java when working with frameworks like Spring. Spring obscures much of its internal mechanisms, and it takes a long time to build the knowledge needed to understand all of the nuances in it (and to even debug it). Jonathan Blow's arguments against frameworks in general apply strongly to the Spring Framework.

#1 is usually solved by using strongly typed languages, like Java or plenty of others
I think the formulation "this algorithm is in PSPACE" is very inappropriate in this case. Every "sane" algorithm is in PSPACE, e.g. adding two numbers.

Either prove, that the problem is PSPACE-complete (any PSPACE problem can be converted into it), or just say that your algorithm takes exponential time in polynomial space.
The reason the happiness from a Lamborghini doesn't last, and the thinking behind experiences generally being superior than possessions has some roots in hedonic adaptation.

Basically a tendency for people "to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes."

>Hmm I used to work for a nootropics startup, and a couple of the guys were working on something like this. That was many years ago. But I wonder if you're them, or connected.

No link, but you got me curious. Can you share the name of the startup?

>Basically, I have tried so many different things that I have too many ratings to fill out on the second step.

You can try filling only the ones for which you had a unusual response, it should give you interesting results!

It's always hard to rate something complex in one dimension, but as you said it can already be a pain :) The scale is supposed to be your confidence that the substance had a positive effect (zero meaning no or negative effect).

whose problem is that? its not the seller's problem. be a seller then. if you don't want to sell plagiarized goods then don't sell plagiarized goods. there's plenty of buyers.

I don't really understand this buyer centric side of things on behalf of ...all buyers... ? are you debating a big purchase?
They also found that pre-delta (when a lot of the US was getting their primary series) vaccine immunity was more protective against hospitalization with alpha or whatever it was at the time in the US

I’m not sure if there is a good study that can distinguish the change point as due to waning immunity from the vaccines or if it’s because of vaccine escape, or if infection-mediated immunity from delta is just better…

The data I’ve seen from omicron suggest that a primary vaccine series offers about equal protection as infection with delta, FWIW

Why is that a surprise? I still have my old childhood 15” CRT and in fact still regularly use it to play old games consoles.

The picture looks as good as the day I bought it so why would I throw it away?
Yes, I was a bit hasty with undetected. The situation is complex.

I have a site which has sensors that go off for various reasons. I add heartbeats to detect this. Now I have a site with sensors that may go off for a number of reasons, and an alert panel telling me they are off all the time.

As the alerts aren't actionable (ie, I expect sensor Y to go off every day in the winter around midnight and come back again when it warms up) I add a filter to ignore the alert from it around midnight.

I now have to make sure I handle all the other edge cases - how long is it safe to have this sensor off? 50% of the sensors off? Every third sensor off? What if there is a really cold/hot snap lasting through the day or several days?

All of these questions are edge cases, and they require complexity to solve them. Complexity means bugs. The most common bug by far is that situation X was detected by the sensor, but didn't make its way to us for edge cases.
> Why did you vouch for it before actually reading it?

I felt I'd read enough of the piece to trust the author's intentions. I liked her "consilience" example, and liked the overview she gave of where she was going. I've finished reading it now, and continue to feel confident that it is a solid piece worthy of discussion.

> Discussion isn't inherently virtuous.

I may disagree with this, but it depends on how literally we interpret "inherently". I certainly agree that not all discussions are productive, and some can cause more harm than good. But I also believe that understanding is between parties who disagree is practically impossible without discussion. I think the inherent virtue of discussion is that when it stops things often get worse.

I'm fairly strongly on the "mistake theory" side of conflict. I think that most people share common meta-goals, but have different strategies for how to get there. I think with more information sharing, conflict can be avoided. The alternative is "conflict theory", where the goals themselves are simply incompatible. I'm hoping this is not the case in the US, as I think that leads to literal civil war.

> Things are mostly flagged for a reason.

I agree. I think "Some small subset of flagged stories are worthy of discussion" is compatible with "Most flagged stories deserve to be flagged".

I commonly flag about 5-10 new stories a day, mostly outright spam. I probably vouch for about 1-2 stories per day that I feel have been wrongly (or unnecessarily) flagged. Of these, some drop off quietly for lack of attention, some are reflagged and disappear, some turn into flamewars, and some generate interesting discussion. I'm sure this story is not "spam", and I'm doing my best to put/keep this one in the category of "interesting discussion". I think this one is (barely) in the last category, and there are some scattered small productive discussions going on.

I feel like most people think this story is making a claim that it is not. As I see it, the main claim is that adverse reactions to the vaccine are likely to be underreported. I think this is true. The author believes that as a healthy young woman, the risk of the vaccine to her is greater than the benefit. I'm not sure if she's right here, but I do believe there certainly could be a cutoff age where this could be true.

Some people think that publicly acknowledging this possibility needs to be avoided, because it lends credence to "anti-vaxxers". Possibly true, but I think they are already set in their ways. I'm more concerned that the government bodies (and "Science" as a whole) may be unnecessarily burning their credibility for future events by trying to bend the truth to better fit their desired outcome of having everyone take the vaccine. I think they are well intentioned, but don't think the "noble lie" is a good long term strategy. I'd hoped for more discussion on that level, but at least there is some.
This is how I tell people to use Confluence. There’s no hope of ever having the general set of all articles organized in a way that makes sense so just try to make the article searchable. If it’s about an error, make sure the error message is in there. If it’s about configuration of a feature make sure the feature name and “configuration” is in the title. Also make sure to write a paragraph describing what the article is about and different times someone might need it.

It’s like internal white hat SEO

The thing is that KVL and KCL hold, and KVL and KCL hold for both electrons and water. You just have to not think too deeply about what motivates the electrons to move. Current is indeed the mean velocity of carriers through some area, and voltage is mmm... well it's related to the electric field. It's just not exactly fluid pressure even though it behaves as such.

The right way to think about this if you _really_ care is a bit like the way that RF engineers think about dielectric resonators. The metal motivates the fields to be guided along pairs of conductors by the motion of charge carriers within. A metal will respond in a particular way to fields, which results in new fields, and so on and so forth in a way that results in the fields propagating along in a particular way.

A propagating pulse is a bit hard to think about but you can imagine some field configuration that results in the electrons in the metal slipping a bit, and those electrons move in a way that results in new fields which contain the new wavefront of the pulse. The electrons don't keep moving -- they move on average the distance of the mean free path and give their energy to the lattice as heat. This is why the drift velocity is just a meaningless number. The fields propagate at around c and the conductors guide them.
> But I’m not at all sure that the people who do cross it are any less self-respecting.

I get that. It's just that their idea of what's "respectable" and mine differ. That's not to say either of us are right or wrong, but I stand by my version of respect and self-respect amongst the people I chose to spend timer with and I will judge them and the people they cheat with accordingly. If they've got a circle of friends who share their views, they won't give a flying fuck about my judgement of them.

In my view, and amongst my friends, cheating is a demonstration of untrustworthiness. The same as stealing. It doesn't matter to me if you've stolen from me or from someone else, if I know you've stolen at all, I know I can't trust you not to steal from me or my friends. If you're happy to fuck around with someone else's wife or girlfriend, you'll probably be happy to do the same with mine if it suits you. We will not be friends. You will, at very best, become an acquaintance that I do not trust.

> If someone cheats on you and you never find out, does it mean anything?

Yeah. It means they lie to you and are untrustworthy, just you don't know about it yet. Maybe you'll never find out about that specific instance of cheating, but you still have someone you should have been able to trust who'll break that trust and lie to you in your life, and these attitudes will eventually reveal that, even if you never find out she fucked the best man at your wedding (or whatever). Thats what I meant when I said "I don't need that sort of complication or grief in my life."

(I will add though, that this was not nearly as strongly a developed outlook on life in my 20s, and I will cut some slack for "kids being kids", but if you're still fucking around on your girlfriend/wife in your 40's, you will be judged harshly and very firmly moved from "a friend" to "an untrustworthy acquaintance that I probably need to warn other actual friends about" in my life.)

> The “neutralizing vaccine” angle has spread like wildfire in the past couple of weeks as the anti-vax influencers pivoted to using that angle.

President Biden and other key officials have said that if you get vaccinated you won't get COVID. Here's just one example from an AP fact check. This was not from when the vaccines were just out, either. He was saying this less than 6 months ago.

I am surprised that Matthieu did not address this question head-on:

> This brings me to a critical issue: the side effects of meditation. One could argue that a strategy consisting of closing one’s eyes when facing conflicts, in escaping from problems rather than solving them, is perhaps a suboptimal strategy.

In Dzogchen meditation (which is his main practice), one does not close one's eyes or always sit in a special posture. It is engaged with real life. There is no "escaping" of any sort whatsoever. Thoughts arise as they normally do; it is only the method of dealing with them that differs (both from our usual habits and from other approaches like mindfulness as it is normally understood).
You can’t even see that on Ebay. The purchase history is only two years (which really annoys me).

Oh, this is neat. The user is constructing a predicate "A and B and C and ...", where each new "and" is added by clicking into a folder.

If you add OR with ctrl+click, and perhaps some sort of NOT, the user can now construct arbitrary predicates using only the tags and familiar folder point-and-click operations.

All the companies making tivoed devices with walled gardens on BSD/MIT-basis would absolutely love it, if the worldwide group of enthusiasts would finally come together to eliminate most of their in-house software development costs by delivering the perfect free solution, that only needs some branding, marketing and lock-in applied.

Sarcasm aside, I agree, that lots of software could feel more "finished"/refined. I'm trying to think, which of the xkcd comics fits the best here...
When I look into these CVEs and see "use after free", I know immediately it is not a problem in modern code.

Digital Ocean has S3, VPC, Compute, managed databases, some apis.

you're moving the goalpoast.

if you can't tell what's good and what's plagiarized, the only safe assumption is that everything's plagiarized and stay away from it, both as seller and buyer.

> Newtonian insistence on ensuring that any statement is testable by observation ... undoubtedly cuts out the crap, it also seems to cut out almost everything else as well.

Wow, there's a little thought-grenade for the "that's not falsifiable" crowd...I had to read his source article to really (well, and very basically) appreciate what he was getting at.

I do agree with this idea; once you are that insistent on testable stuff, once you see it as _the_ hammer for every nai...err, problem, you are basically the stubborn hermetic hold-out as far as the broader conceptual space is concerned.

Alder seems to aim more at the social space, but I think it's a bigger problem than his dinner-party-style example would indicate.

It may even be important for people like that to define for themselves how and when the imagination is useful...

(There is also a broader question about sets of psychological tooling which would be pretty fascinating to reconcile with this kind of thought model. I can think of at least a few groups of people who would have a pretty good counter to an argument like this, especially one with a winner-takes-universe feel to it)

I didn't know about the `!` operator, that's so cool. Thanks for sharing your whole approach. My dream search engine had 3 levels, you just added a 4th.

1) I'm feeling lucky (I will use `!` for now, but will look at setting up something like yours)

2) Search within bookmarks

3) Search within preferred domains (ideally the list is autogenerated from roots of bookmarks, but would like to explicitly include/exclude)

4) "Rest of the internet"

2-4 could be shown in one page, it would just affect the ordering.

Side note: A quick fix your issue with names messing up things like where the wild things are – check for a single quote mark at the beginning and treat that like `"Where the wild things are" !`. So, `"where the wild things are` would trigger the feeling lucky result.

Right. If you search for "database" instead of sqlite it will only show up if you happened to use that word in the notes. If you're searching notes from years ago you might not remember the exact keyword you need. You need a search engine with a powerful enough synonym/grammatical similarity capability.

It's a bad argument, it implicitly assumes you know only severe COVID-19 can lead to death. You cannot say this study proved lower incidence of all cause death. You would have to extrapolate via some model of disease transmission. Once you get to that point you ought to get more imaginative than vaccine vaccine vaccine. It's a slick argument though, very "these aren't the droids you are looking for"
Same here. I have been trying to understand this practice for years and have never succeeded. Maybe someday it will click.
I think he did address it:

"True meditation, however, is not just taking a break. It is not simply closing one’s eyes to the problem for a while. Meditation goes to the root of the problem. You need to become aware of the destructive aspect of compulsive attachment and all of the conflictive mental states that you mentioned. "
many cases, I can't because it relies solely on the ad model. But paying for it really isn't the point, the whole point is advertising isn't semi benign like it was in broadcast TV / Newspapers of old. There is now massive incentive to essentially to target individuals specifically by gathering as much data about them and who they know and are influenced by and trying to predict / influence behavior. We have already seen when used for political advertising, it's been done for social engineering and influence the outcomes of elections in a way that is quite insidious. Weirdly, other than a minority, not many are worried about it because it is invisible. Mandate something to people, and there's a lot of yelling and screaming, but if you can do this without people feeling like they have been targeted, no problem!
