When taught rooted in a mystical spiritual tradition, yoga and meditation are enormously important ingredients in quieting the influence of the ego.

It's not about how good you look doing Downward Dog. It's about taking a break from the incessant mind-chatter, and getting a chance to experience the present moment, whether through movement or stillness.
What is more impactful about data science than web dev? I can tell you as someone who spent years coding C++, it's not 'better' or more impactful. My brother was into AI and got out because he didn't find it was impactful. AI sounds so cool on paper and documentaries, but at it's core it's just statistics and coding put together.
Your first comment was effectively "Everyone knows this person is a fraud and no one is willing to stand up and put a stop to it".

Your second comment was effectively "Well I don't know they are a fraud and I'm not going to be the one who upsets people by trying to put a stop to it".

I don't say this as a criticism of you. I say this a defense of the people you are criticizing. Stopping people like this takes a lot of work and often some personal risk. Most of us aren't willing to do it despite us pretending otherwise.
Social media (especially short-form ones like Twitter and TikTok) is just a natural evolution of media trends that were already present in society. TV replacing radio/text and tabloid newspapers are just two examples off the top of my head. If Twitter/Facebook/TikTok weren't there, other alternatives would've been there to fill the void.
> There is a recovery path for damaged and destroyed money, highly dependent on the serial number (which is why 50% of the note is typically requested)

No, >50% of the same bill or proof of destruction of the remainder is requested not because of serial number dependency (you can have that much without the serial number), but because with either of those, you can be sure that the same bill isn't replaced twice, or replaced but still usable.
For the record, the Model 3 does have physical volume/playback controls on the steering wheel, but I do agree with the OP's greater point about not hiding important functionality behind context menus.

I've had the displeasure of working on a lot of OCI migrations from AWS over the past few months. Unless your needs are very basic (compute, network, storage), you are going to hit a lot of sharp edges and managing your own solutions.

Our products are built around Postgres/Elastic as the backend. On AWS we make heavy use of EKS, ALB, S3, CloudFront, managed Elasticsearch, Postgres RDS, managed Redis, etc.

On Oracle, we have to build and manage our own Postgres, Redis, Elastic, etc.

The only real managed solution Oracle has is Kubernetes, which apparently isn't even roadmapped to automatically cull nodes that enter into a Not Ready state.

I was generally OK with the Oracle migrations. I understand them from the money perspective why the executive decision was made.

The general uselessness of Oracle support when things do go wrong is going to bite us hard.

I nearly lost my shit last week when I had to explain how their own yum repositories work to their support rep on the Zoom call. TL;DR, whenever they come under heavy load from, say, three VMs in the same VCN all installing the same package set at the same time as part of an Ansible playbook, their yum/identity servers start throttling connections and handing out 401 errors. In the end I just put a retry loop on the yum portion of the playbooks, they eventually get enough of the RPMs.

I spent 10 hours last Saturday leading the troubleshooting effort with their network team for what I quickly identified as a region wide issue between OCI Mumbai and AWS us-east-1. There was a router somewhere in the path between the two data centers that was just dropping packets when the MTU needed to exceed 1478. It wasn't Oracle's fault, per se, but the process of getting their team to recognize and understand the issue was frustrating. I needed to get them to understand it so that they could then file a complaint upstream. BTW, if last Saturday your assets in AP-Mumbai-1 went dark on DataDog or you were unable to pull containers from Docker Hub for about 15 hours, this is why.

I don't know, maybe we're too small to get useful support, we're only spending $200k/month on OCI.
I think you've pretty much said why there is nothing to "fix" upstream here. zsh comp was expecting mkdir.

If I'd use a completely unrelated program (e.g. tar) and told zsh completion to handle it as if it were mkdir, nobody would be surprised if things misbehaves spectacularly.
> Misinformation is information that is incorrect.

No, misinformation is true information that is misleading (as to some other topic), morally wrong, etc.

If it is not true, then it is “not” information. It is “dis”-information.

(From Fluoride pdf)

Update: E.g. Consider the statement: “According to the FBI, African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019.” That is information. It is knowledge which is conveyed / stored / etc. Some people use that fact to argue that AAs are inherently violent people. In the context of such an argument, the fact is potentially misleading / misinformation. The premise is true, but not the conclusion.

An example of disinformation would be to say: “According to the FBI, African-Americans accounted for 85.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019.” That’s not true. That’s “not” information.

All of this may be true, but it leads to the question: if not science, what do you recommend instead?

Not being a virologist or epidemiologist, I have to listen to somebody. Are you saying I'd actually be better off listening to Art Bell and Joe Rogan than official sources like Fauci? If so, that's an extraordinary claim if there ever was one.

As long as vaccination comes with no strings attached, i have no problem with recommending it.

Each individual should be allowed to make an informed decision about taking the vaccine and the booster shots.

Just the same way as we have done with seasonal influenza all these years.
No, because there's some margin of people who won't be convinced no matter what. If you've failed to persuade that 2% (or whatever the floor might be) then there's no need to discuss further--those 2% are inconsequential. But if you're at double-digit percentages you can be sure that you're not near the floor.

Moreover, it's not just about the media's coverage of COVID or the moon landing, but about their overall credibility during the prior decade. For example, the media has reliably and brazenly lied and mislead on racial justice protests from ~2014 through 2020, which almost certainly affects its credibility on other issues (e.g., covid). Of course, the same applies to the academy and other institutions.
Moderna was American and accepted US funding, so it wasn’t a total loss. Though the article certainly overstates it a bit.

Pfizer/BioNTech and AZ were significant beneficiaries of state funding outside of the US, tho.

What do you mean by "etc."? Do you have another example?
I have a pretty good idea that lisp would fit into how I like to develop software.

The biggest thing that I'm looking towards lisp for is interactive programming. Python is currently my primary language, and I heavily test/prototype things in the REPL as I'm programming or dropping into one for debugging.

Additionally, I like the things you get with a complied language but have zero interest in going deep (I know them and have used them, but not professionally) with the standard C derivatives of C, C++, obj-C, and Java. I'm also pretty tired of many of the gotchas in python with its bolted-on-type system and is essentially a wrapper around C. I love the libraries and functionality, but the amount of boilerplate and testing needed to produce reliable code has burnt me out on it.

I'd probably go with Swift and SwiftUI if it weren't Apple only and still limited in what it can be practically used for, such as building deployable web services with it.

The other thing that has always lingered in my mind is the promise of DSLs/functional programming/etc. or other abstractions that never lived up to their potential ergonomically in other languages. I'd start using them but almost immediately run into edge cases that required workarounds to get working. After a while, I would abandon them entirely because the workaround added up to not being cleaner overall or leading to lower readability and maintainability.

Like function composition, I'd love to have functions that are generic work loops/data pipelines that I pass in different data and business logic/conditionals to. Still, in python, it's challenging to do that cleanly/maintainable. Or even some of the basic stuff Ruby does with metaprogramming that ends up being a nightmare to attempt in python. Even javascript does better with functional programming than python or any C derivatives.

So I have a fair sense of why I'm leaning towards lisp. I'm more interested in jumping in and using it for practical things. For example, I want to write a web API that uses SQLite. How do I prototype and test that using lisp? Kind of a “working programmer’s guide to getting going with common lisp.”

Oh, I'm also currently an independent software developer, so I don't need to worry about external constraints.

I will read On Lisp first, though! I just read the preface, and it directly addresses several of my desired outcomes.
Been pretending I'm dead to linkedin for years and feeling pretty good about it, for anecdata.

You actually have a very good point, I think I'm going to end up buying a cheaper digital camera and

Something around 5 to 600, but I still love the idea film. Film. The idea of making something where you don't know exactly how it's going to turn out until a week later, you can't just do a reshoot instantly because you didn't get the shot you wanted.

So with that spirit, I would like to be able to get my film developed in scanned for cheap.
You are correct. In fact, pre-AS1, Flash Actions were a dramatically different VM. If you wanted to store a property on an object you had to use slash paths. "../hero:gun/bullet" would go up one clip, look for something called hero, look for a gun on the hero, and then a bullet in the gun.

Macromedia beat Actions into something that could vaguely-resemble an ECMA-262 3ed language runtime if you squinted hard enough. However, all of the old warts still remain, probably because otherwise you couldn't upgrade from Flash 4 and compile to newer SWF versions. Thus, Actions, ActionScript, and ActionScript 2.0 all compile to the same VM. The only difference in semantics come if you compile to a newer or older Flash Player version.

AS3 is an entirely different VM that actually was designed to serve as the runtime for the 4th edition of ECMAScript, which never actually came out because web developers thought it was way too complicated. However, the only features that never actually made it into modern JS are namespaces, interfaces, and prototype-free classes. Everything else did eventually make it back into ES5 or ES6, albeit in dramatically different ways[0] sometimes.

[0] For example, when you declare a `class` in modern JavaScript, you are actually invoking syntactic sugar (mostly) for declaring a constructor function, setting the prototype to an instance of the parent, and then populating methods on the prototype. This is also how AS2 did it, too.

In ES4, they instead decided to completely junk prototypes in favor of Java-style inheritance. When you declare a class, you're creating an actual Class with a vtable and everything. It's instances actually get copies of their methods with `this` properly bound, which you can shove directly into `addEventListener` and `removeEventListener` and expect to work.
That's similar to my own thought. An update that affects controls for safety-relevant features - and defrost certainly qualifies - should require prior approval just like a physical update to each year's model would. This update should never have reached cars on the road.
Farmer here. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that the New Yorker is my first place to look for breaking truck news.
i was so excited for the holiday update this year but it completely ruined my model y driving experience. had one of my UI designers presented to me an interface mockup including multiple black icons on a black background, i would have made them present these designs to the entire company so that they could be laughed at and mocked by everyone. such design sins are so bad they must be confronted with public ridicule and shaming.
Both fallacies apply, as do many others. It is a mistake to believe only one fallacy applies in a given situation.
Are things "improving every decade" at a "vast rate"? What exactly is improving? Doesn't that depend on one's values as to what counts as "better"? Do you mean technological progress, economic progress, social progress?

Perceptions of progress seem to depend a lot on (a) where in the world you are, (b) what things you value, (c) whether you choose to optimistically focus on the positive developments (from the viewpoint of your own values) or pessimistically focus on the negative.

Even if we agree that certain forms of progress are occurring, do those various forms of progress necessarily entail scientific progress? I think, the only form of progress which necessarily entails scientific progress is technological progress – but even for that, some scientific fields have much greater technological relevance than others, continuing technological progress requires continuing scientific progress in technologically-relevant fields, yet is compatible with going backwards in areas of science which lack direct technological application.

This doesn't seem at all plausible. I can't think of a country I have been to in the world that didn't have Sega arcade machines. I'd be shocked if simply manufacturing and selling the machines wasn't more lucrative.
That is not true.

For many people towing their boat to the launch it will work excellently.

Towing trailer full of junk to the disposal, same thing. Also pulling the wood chipper to the dump. Heavy, but not going far.

Picking up lumber in town, just fine. Excellent for picking up steel for the shop.

It would be more accurate to claim it will do poorly in cross country towing. For the towing I do, it would be just fine.

1/3 the range when towing is still a 100 miles.

Catholicism endorses a peculiar idea of social justice founded on commutative justice, viz. paying the pre-determined "just" or "fair" price as opposed to whatever most efficient price might be set by the market - far more strongly than it might endorse property rights. Property rights are really only acknowledged to the extent that they might tend to preserve a rigid, authoritarian social order.

There is, by and large, no appreciation in Latin America for the actual long-term benefits of property rights, such as, for instance, letting average people obtain formal title over the land that they might currently be holding/homesteading informally in a kind of adverse possession. Of course the lack of this acknowlegdement leads to all sorts of power imbalances, and predictable tensions as some try to push back without addressing the actual underlying issues.
Ah, so while there were ice sheets on every continent during these glaciations, there are actually quite a lot of places where sedimentary rocks survived the glaciations - perhaps as much as a fifth of the area of the continents (back-of-the-envelope, given that there is about a fifth as much preserved sedimentary rock per unit time prior to the end of the unconformity).

Generally a lot of these regions where rocks from the "missing" interval are well-preserved are at the margins of the (paleo)continents. This is for two reasons, as far as we can tell: (1) erosion by continental icesheets is more hit-or-miss near the margins; "hit" if you're in an outlet ice stream, but "miss" if you're not, since marginal ice tends to be "cold-based" and generally not very erosive at the margins outside of the outlet ice streams; (2) the paleo-continental margins are where all the tectonic activity was at the time -- and while tectonic uplift won't help any, tectonic subsidence can help a lot if it makes a basin subside below sea level (which will protect against erosion).
People are multifaceted beings. Social media AI automatically exploits any and all of our failings in the name of engagement. Traditional media used to do that before to some extent but the current situation is unprecedented in its reach and efficiency - custom tailored to individuals.

Technology is supposed to compensate for our failings, not exaggerate them to the extreme.
The title and start of the article make it sound like it was a complete mystery that was solved now.

However when continuing to read the article it appears that there were competing theories to explain it, and the new research has bolstered evidence for one of the two main theories.

Am I correct in assuming that the latter is a more accurate assessment of the subject?
Nice! sounds pretty cool.
how "smart" is a contract that will delivers good to non-existent entities. How "smart" is a contract that is actually a piece of code that's riddled with footguns? Calling these things "smart" contracts was the joke of the century.
But why do all these companies have to be in america? One often hears about companies hiring remotely, but hardly ever establishing remotely.
> The thing is that there are enough frontends using this smart contract where you can simply chose 'WETH to ETH' and you'll get the right transaction. For whatever reason this person thought it'd be a great idea to interact with the smart contract directly.

Getting out of the supposed user-opacity of legalese to something that was safe and reasonable for a non-elite-priesthood users to understand, trust, and interact with directly without an intermediary was, I thought, the whole allure of smart contracts over using the old-fashioned dumb kind to manage transactions and business relations.
Thanks! Price guide $76,800 seems surprisingly reasonable when compared to $70,000 for a mid-range Tesla 3.
I think most of the science back then was really bad, we just don't talk about it, which is exactly the parent post's point.
Joe Rogan and Dr. Robert Malone podcast. is it misinformation? Dr. Malone certainly have the credentials that none of us have and yet he is censored. is science only one voice? whoever express different opinions should be censored even if that person have the credentials to speak on the matter?

Notable blurb from the report itself ---

"However, whilst this approach [content removal] may be effective and essential for illegal content (eg hate speech, terrorist content, child sexual abuse material) there is little evidence to support the effectiveness of this approach for scientific misinformation, and approaches to addressing the amplification of misinformation may be more effective. In addition, demonstrating a causal link between online misinformation and offline harm is difficult to achieve [25, 26], and there is a risk that content removal may cause more harm than good by driving misinformation content (and people who may act upon it) towards harder-to-address corners of the internet27."

I'm happy that this point has been raised in this report. Lot of understandable hand-wringing and fear about online misinformation about over COVID, but it was never clear to me that online misinformation is a variable that explains differences in vaccination rates across countries, or to what extent it affects an individual's decision not to vaccinate. Turns out that this is hard to measure.

The CDC messaging was really bad and problematic on several counts right from the get go. Its not like the US is incapable of messaging about the link between individual behaviour and societal good in the long term (for instance, there were initial protracted battles, but we eventually agreed largely on condoms and HIV, or smoking and lung cancer risk) or in the short term (as in the lifestyle sacrifices that WWII engendered for wartime production). I wonder what went right in those situations (if they did go right) that went wrong in the messaging this time around.

Over and above the masking, some observations --

1. Transmission risk, I think, was never the primary end-point of vaccine development, but rather, to prevent hospitalization. But the messaging from CDC and others on the vaccine implied that transmission would keep declining with increasing vaccination rates, which turned out to be true only to a limited extent.

2. The early messaging was that this would be one wave of infections, and that one round of vaccination would end it all. This was tough to defend given what happened with the flu. I understand that telling people that "Well, the vaccine may not give long-lasting immunity and still leave you susceptible" is not going to promote vaccination, but perhaps emphasizing that vaccine-immunity is controlled and safe than an infection that might hit all organs, would have been a better way out?
Actually it can tow 4500kg. Not sure about why you’re commenting this.
I consider the Tesla UI quite functional.
How about designing cars with visibility behind them?

I notice the kids don’t see hazards (pedestrians) as well on the car with a backup camera as they do in the car that requires you to physically turn around.

The original backup camera was on the Prius because it had a huge blind spot, this fix should have been to th blind spot, not the degraded function of a fisheye lense and a driver facing forward.
