My understanding is that the reason why the multiverse hypothesis (Everett interpretation) is popular with physicists is it simplifies the equations without losing predictive power. They actually have to add terms for the Copenhagen interpretation. I admittedly don't know the math well, but I think suggesting that it satisfies psychological needs is not generally accurate -- if anything, I think the average person finds the idea uncomfortable. Rather, it has legitimate explanatory and predictive power.
You could lose the entire world's lithium mines in the corner of one of hundreds of large-scale iron ore mines. Lithium ponds are also currently about 500 times smaller than the world's table salt ponds. Really, it's incredibly small and eliminates the demand for much more destructive oil and gas exploration.
Solar is already so prevalent on Oahu that they have grid frequency excursions that would be unimaginable on the mainland.

Once grid-scale energy storage gets cheaper Hawaii will have one of the cleanest energy grids on Earth. Until then they have to complement their solar production with peaker turbines that typically burn diesel.
No, he believes that one of these three things is true:

1. "The fraction of human-level civilizations that reach a posthuman stage (that is, one capable of running high-fidelity ancestor simulations) is very close to zero", or

2. "The fraction of posthuman civilizations that are interested in running simulations of their evolutionary history, or variations thereof, is very close to zero", or

3. "The fraction of all people with our kind of experiences that are living in a simulation is very close to one."

Do you disagree?

The US already is by far the country with the most weapon per capita. And probably the least country susceptible of being invaded.

I don't doubt that estimations are useful, but you don't necessarily need to provide an estimation. Why not just say, "I'll need to look into the impact of that change and I can get back to you".
What are you gaining by introducing an opportunity for your head math to be wrong? You can still keep the conversation velocity by committing to providing an estimate later, especially a more accurate one. You might be making a careless error because you're doing the math during a meeting.
These are really good points, and mirror my experience - though we are opposite - I'm definitely not into fine dining.

I didn't get point 1 til years later, after more reading. I'd tried uber fancy restaurants a few times, and each time left disappointed and really almost feeling cheated. Odd flavors (to me), small portions, a lot of art on the plate. I never really judged it based on anything but the value and taste, and if you do that, you'll likely be disappointed as I was.

I guess I realized I'm just a simple guy who likes common foods, but hey, we're all different.
I do think this shows some of the inconsistency of NATO / EU policy goals wrt to Ukraine. They don’t want to admit Ukraine into NATO or the EU, but promising not to admit them is a non-starter?

To be sure Russia is the clear aggressor here and their political ambitions are no more sensible.

It seems to me like the clear sensible political solution here is for all sides to guarantee the security and neutrality of Ukraine (make it the Switzerland of Eurasia), and for Donetsk and Crimea to remain part of Ukraine as autonomous regions - a la Sud Tirol in Italy.

Good story.

One thing to remember or value when you go to these places is that you're not largely paying for the food. You're paying for 4-5x the people per diner than any normal restaurant -- you're paying for their time to pore over the ingredients more carefully than you would yourself, their time to learn about and explain it to you, their time to come up with amusing and interesting ways to prepare it, their time to wait on you like a sultan and never fail to bore your palate.

Not saying that it's worth it for everyone or that it's even completely justified as they think it is (every artist thinks that any excessive amount they spend on some esoterica is "worth it"), but that's really where your $ are going. Maybe that's the way to think about it -- you're paying for art.

And being one of the few diners who the cost of paying for people's livelihoods is spread over (especially if those people have student loans to pay for) -- that is expensive.

They failed in much the same manner being the incompetence of their management.

In Chernobyl's case, it was inadequate training of their staff for a test procedure (including various side effects that this test procedure might cause) and some overrides of safety systems (in gross violation of existing regulations).

In Fukushima Daiichi's case, it was management ignoring the very real risk of tsunamis, even in the face of plenty of evidence that the station was vulnerable to such (a handful of other stations around the world had been damaged by tsunamis in the preceding dozen or so years, and only fared much better because of more redundancies in their emergency systems).

The An-2 Colt is a fabric covered flying machine that is at home muscling through the sky at very low altitudes and slow airspeed. This translates into a small radar cross-section for its size, one that is hard to spot by fighters using their radars in look-down-shoot-down mode. Flying at low altitude means traditional surface-to-air missile systems will have a very hard time of detecting and engaging these aircraft as they plot along south, hugging the terrain.

The servers at these kinds of places really are career professionals, and it shows.

Turns out when you really care about something and do it for a long time under the tutelage of experts, you can get literally 10 or 100 times better at, say, serving someone water without being noticed.

They are also, in my experience, just as excited as you are. These people love their work, or they wouldn't be there; they get so happy when people love the food they're serving, and they're always ready to gush with you about how good it is. Very fun interactions.

I haven't had the pleasure of eating at a Michelin star restaurant (yet, I fully intend to at some point) but I have eaten at places that could probably get at least one star if they were located in a city where Michelin gave them out.

It is truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. It's obvious that so much thought and care goes into everything that you can't even really compare it to a regular "nice" restaurant. It's an entirely different class of dining, and this article conveyed it perfectly. Made me want to prioritize getting to an actual Michelin star restaurant.
> It's not that it has to be 'better' than the best $12 bbq joint you've ever been to, just different.

Well said!

Also, don't be the guy who goes in on a mission to dunk on the expensive restaurant. That's about as cool as the person who watches a popular TV show just so they can smugly complain about it. Just don't.
Probably due to concerns about changing the size of many structs that include time_t values, which could cause a lot of bugs in C code and similar where the size had been assumed. Moving to unsigned types doesn't change the storage requirements.
Thanks for the link; very interesting. From that interview, the general seems to like the idea but also notes seemingly impossile obstacles to it ("PB" is retired U.S. General Philip Breedlove):

PB: I am actually a proponent of it [a no-fly zone]. But let me now tell you why it will probably not happen, because the reality of a no-fly zone is, it is an act of war. There are a lot of people who don’t understand no-fly zones. You don’t just say, “That’s a no fly zone.” You have to enforce a no-fly zone, which means you have to be willing to use force against those who break the no-fly zone. The second thing, which nobody understands, is if you put a no-fly zone in the eastern part of Ukraine, for instance, and we’re going to fly coalition or NATO aircraft into that no-fly zone, then we have to take out all the weapons that can fire into our no-fly zone and cause harm to our aircraft. So that means bombing enemy radars and missile systems on the other side of the border. And you know what that means, right? That is tantamount to war. So if we’re going to declare a no-fly zone, we have to take down the enemy’s capability to fire into and affect our no-fly zone. And few understand that. And that’s why, if you talk about a no-fly zone, it is a very sober decision because many in the world would interpret it as an act of war.

FP: Yet, in spite of all of that, you said you would actually support the idea of a no-fly zone?

PB: Are we going to sit and watch while a world power invades and destroys and subjugates a sovereign nation? Are we just going to watch? I mean, a friend recently said, “This is like biblical times, and the whole Colosseum is watching the lions and the Christians, and they’re pulling for the Christians, but they just watch.” So the question is, is the West going to tolerate Russia doing this to Ukraine? What if the Russians do what they did in eastern Syria and they drop barrel bombs and make rubble of cities and terrorize citizens and force them on the road and make them refugees across Europe? Where is the line that Russia crosses in its inhumanity such that the rest of the world reacts?
As a fallback solution, you could always encode the URL with base64.
Async functions are conceptually quite similar to ES6 generator functions. In an ES6 generator every `yield` expression is a point where the function can be paused and later resumed. With an async function it is an `await`. The difference between a generator and an async function is that whereas the caller manually resumes generators by calling (`next`) on the generator, async functions are automatically resumed when they yield a promise that is resolved.

Making a function support being paused and resumed requires changes in how the function is run and the data that is maintained while it is executing. In addition to behaving differently than sync functions when they execute, the results are also handled differently. Async functions always return a promise - whether they `return` a literal value, return another promise or throw an exception.

Due to these differences, it makes sense that the special nature of async functions and generators must be declared up-front, with the `async` keyword or `*` for generators. It would be possible to design the language such that the function type was determined by looking at whether it contains `yield` or `await` keywords. Python does this with generator functions. However this makes an important aspect of behavior less explicit.

If you want to make restaurant visits special just make them rare. Michelin restaurants are for people further down that particular hedonistic treadmill than me.

It really is remarkable how many mistakes like this happen. One I've seen a lot is not knowing how percentages work, particular when it comes to changes between them. Going from 10% of something up to 15% is not a 5% increase--it's a 50% increase.

> The last thing is how the servers know when to be present without hovering or interrupting too often or too infrequently.

Exactly. You can often tell the step up from good to great by whether the servers are intentionally making a show of their presence vs. when you don't notice them other than when you want to.

At one place which should have known better my date and I ended up playing a game of "try to touch the wine bottle before the sommelier would make it to the table" as they insisted on making an annoying show of serving that at first was disruptive rather than helpful, and so we turned to passive aggressive rebellion... But that was funny once - it made me reluctant to go there on dates again.

Conversely at some of the best places I've eaten the serving staff are like ninjas and you hardly even notice your napkin is dirty before it has magically been replaced.

(I've had memorable interactions with servers who knew when to be noticed, so it's not about never being heard or seen, but about understanding when it adds to the experience and when it would interrupt)
That is not quite what raghavtoshniwal meant now is it?

The key word is "compounding", surely.

For example, I think young children need a few good ways to be taught about managing and understanding very large numbers, about combinational explosion, precision and estimation; essential in today's world.

I think kids from about seven or eight should be taught things about tree structures (decision trees, classification trees, parts diagram enclosures) but also about fractals -- about measuring coastlines, etc.; perhaps even show them Cantor's Comb.

They could be shown the liquid-nitrogen potato experiment to help them understand power series in future.

I feel 2020 taught us that young people need to be taught about the rice-on-chessboard problem, about the Small World experiment, etc.

There are good few kid-friendly ways to teach concepts like this which compound in building understanding that current adults do not have.

Kids in the UK are already taught some quite innovative ways to estimate, multiply and divide; maths has changed a bit since I was a kid. But there's a long way to go.
