Very cool!

Interesting to read this. You're focussing on very similar things to me. Getting the basics in place is important. I've been working on morning routine at the moment too.

One thing I've found to help me (with a lot of trial and error) is some home automation stuff to help "enforce" my routine.

I've had lights that fade up in the morning for many years, simulating a "sunrise", but I recently updated this so that it automatically turns the heating up at the same time when my "sunrise" starts. Sounds crazy, but automatically turning the heat up to the maximum in my bedroom forces me to get up (because it would be too uncomfortable to stay in bed) and has been really effective!

I also recently setup some very bright LED panels that also switch on in the morning and flood the bedroom with light, and finally, the thing I'm most pleased about is that I automatically disable the (smart) light switch next to my bed so that I can't turn all the bright lights off and go back to sleep. I have to actually leave my bedroom for the switch to start working again.

> Just knowing I have my fix dates and times to do certain things is really satisfying. I'm not sure how to describe it. But it feels relieving.

I can completely relate to this. Using daily checklists gives me this "relief" feeling. Without all this effort, I just drift from day to day and I never do the same things at the same time, ever! I find I need a lot of external systems/routines to be able to rely on myself to do the right things.

Interesting that you do your paperwork in the morning. This is a big problem for me. Maybe I should try that...

This has been my experience. I'm pretty happy with more processed lab meat. Burgers, chicken nuggets, etc.

If the texture/experience of chicken breast or a filet mignon can be perfected though, then we're talking about mass adoption on a global scale.

I do wonder if this means a potential end to cooking methods like BBQ. The skeleton of the animal plays a huge role in that cooking environment, I wonder if we can replicate it as well?

And here I am waiting around for a runtime to get the memo that the denominator on cost:benefit is going up, and for them to convince libraries to use to stop watching and waiting and act on it, for the changes to stabilize and then for my coworkers and I to get off our duffs and upgrade to that version of the code.

These pipelines can be pretty deep and fairly long if you're not writing systems code.

You can definitely see the incoming/outgoing messages in the DevTools! Since it's a WebSocket connection, you must have the DevTools open and reload the page. Filter for the WebSocket network activity (you can quickly do this by selecting "WS"), and you'll find the WebSocket connection. Clicking on it and selecting the "Messages" sub-tab will let you see the live list of binary messages sent and received by the connection. Not too meaningful though, unfortunately.

> I feel like the elephant in the room is C++.

I don't think it's an elephant given how well trod the topic is. Linux maintainers want to avoid political fights about which subset of C++ the kernel uses, this is a struggle in large companies with top-down structures and would be a nightmare in something as collective as the kernel. Greg and Linus don't seem shy about occasionally saying "yes, it'd be nice if C has [C++ feature], oh well" but still want to maintain the current set of tradeoffs.

If supporting means driving a tank in Berlin and bombing an hospital, yes, most probably you will go to jail.

Well, I started trusting the sources of medical information less since they quickly moved from “masks don’t help common people” to “everyone should wear a mask” in a heartbeat even though we had a dozen of epidemics and a couple pandemics before so surely that sounds like something that should a settled issue (saying we don’t know and it heavily depends on the infection would also count as a good answer).
Well, regulatory details have been complex for years and capable companies with smaller compliance/legal teams found a way to do it.

My sense is it's more about the window shifting enough that it's palatable enough for a Stripe product team to stake their professional rep on now. "If Twitter and Square are doing it..."

To an extent, I wonder what the impact of the SEC ruling for BlockFi (crypto exchange) did to clarify the regs for larger companies like Stripe.
To what extent are prices driven by first-time buyers? I would expect it's mostly people who experienced the extreme home-price appreciation of the last 10 years, trading with each other.
I'd say a good search engine should try to deliver the results the user is looking for. Simple as that. It probably can never be perfect, as the search engine can only guess what the user is looking for. But it can try to do its best.

There is no rule that it should rank sites by page rank or number of keywords or whatever.

If I don't want to see "Russian Disinformation", I probably won't search for it to begin with. On the other hand, maybe I want to see what all the fuss is about - then why should the search engine stand in my way?

It’s interesting that one implicitly assumes that there’s an AND between the arguments. Assuming an OR would remove the apparent inconsistency. :)

>The costs of letting disinformation flow freely

As I said, "one can always find a reason why this thing is worse than this other thing, and one is therefore justified in doing whatever it is one wanted to do anyway." Simply slap a "disinformation" label on it.

I hope you are similarly motivated by these airy principles when the next government employs these same tactics to do things you do not agree with, but I rather suspect you will not be.
> if it was about misinformation than surely they would want to down-rank all misinformation equally - if they had capability to do so in the first place

They don't have that capability. DuckDuckGo also doesn't have the capability to surface only correct JS code when I search for a programming concept. There isn't a binary here, all manual upranking and downranking of any content is always playing whack-a-mole, none of it is systemic or equally applied -- that's why it's manual and not automatic.

DuckDuckGo tries to strike a balance between manually downranking misinformation that is obviously wrong, while being careful about downranking in less clear-cut situations. It is justifiable to critique them in whether or not they've done a good job of that, and it is definitely justifiable to ask about why they don't apply the same standards to certain other propaganda sources. But that's not how I originally read your comment: "The problem discussed here is not of search quality bias nature, but of political bias nature which should not have a place in a general web search engine."

There's a big difference between saying that a specific search engine isn't doing a good job of stamping out all misinformation, or that it's being very selective about which misinformation it cares about, and saying that political content should be immune from ranking systems.

> This is at the same level of absurdity from a search engine user perspective as would downranking sites because their tld is .net or because they are in italian language.

You know that most search engines downrank non-English-language sources for you if you're located in America, right? They try to return results in languages that you're likely to be able to read.

And search engines don't base rankings off of tlds because that would be trivial for adversaries to take advantage of by switching to upranked tlds. It's not at all comparable to deciding to downrank a news source.

Evolution doesn’t prioritise efficiency, in fact. Evolution prioritises the basics for survival and is highly resistant to change. Change happens only when the environment changes and survival is at stake. That’s when the traits that helps in survival become dominant - because anything without it gets killed.

Which episode of Huberman did he discuss this on?
"unbiased" doesn't mean "unfiltered".

What else can a filter be aside from a bias? Clearly, I'd want a search engine that's biased against spam and generally against "automatically generated" content.

It's hard for people to wrap their heads around how many search judgements are inherently editorial decisions - and how much of this is OK. One factor is that mainstream American news, from Hearst to the NY Times spent a long indoctrinating people on the claim that their position in the political spectrum was "balanced" where everything else was "extreme".

One actually useful thing a search engine could do is allow it's users to see it's biases and even configure their particular preferred filters - within reason. Could be a selling point.
> if battery tech improves enough, I think there's a compelling case to be made that the spike energy is better sent there than to mining rigs.

I don't exactly disagree - with better storage tech, we could put the energy to more immediate uses. But why postpone improving the economics of renewables until we have better battery tech (which has an unknown timeline)?
Ugh.. that's none of their damn business? If a person needs help they can reach out and you can make remove any barriers preventing them but having your mental disorder identified against your will sounds horrific. Ends don't justify means!

Yes, and it's definitely impressive, and I know this might seem like moving the goalposts, but the market cap of Beacon is very small compared to ETH Mainnet. More importantly, it's not _the_ ETH blockchain. Beacon may be working so well because PoS is optional. The people participating in Beacon have bought into PoS on a conceptual level and are working to make it work. When you're incentivized to, you can ignore the pretty fundamental design problems of PoS.

Once ETH tries to get everyone into PoS, that's where I think problems start.

If ETH weren't so established right now through the NFT marketplace, I might suspect you'd see a jump to other blockchains, like Bitcoin, that are still on PoW. Since it is established, I worry that people will try to make it work for a few years, but it ultimately won't work, and ETH Mainnet will either be forced to revert to PoW or lose popularity to another fork.
Scarce goods being expensive isn't discriminatory. Even if it were, the most direct way to address it would be to just give money to people who lack it, or offer a means-tested discount.

"Poor people" already drive less than higher income people, are more likely to depend on public transportation and suffer the consequences of living near polluted highways. They will disproportionately benefit from anti-congestion policies like tolling highway lanes.

It's not clear to me what you're annoyed about exactly. The way I see it, there are a few options:

You're getting annoyed that people are confusing the map with the territory [1]. Multidimensional arrays with certain properties can be used to represent tensors, but aren't tensors. In the same way a diagram of torus isn't a topological space, or a multiplication table isn't a group, or a matrix is not a linear map. Isomorphic but not literally the thing.

Or you're annoyed that people forget an array representing a tensor needs to satisfy some transformation law and can't just be any big array with some numbers in it.

Or maybe you're a fan of basis-free linear algebra!

Which one is it?

The fast track on 101 is such a scam. The old HOV lanes were free during off-peak hours. Fast track is 5 AM to 8 PM. You'll see a few miles of bumbper to bumper traffic around Palo Alto while the fast track lanes are empty in the afternoon.
I remember that, because I worked on the MS FoxPro team at the time and report printing was crashing for a lot of users, but not all of them. Took forever to finally pin it down because, as parent comment points out, the culprit could have long left the building by the time the crash happens. Stupid driver sets the FPU to say "math errors like divide-by-zero are software's problem now, not mine" without telling software. IIRC (and this was over 20 years ago), operations had to be wrapped in/with the one line of code that flipped it back.

But here's the thing: it wasn't just HP, it was a lot of print drivers. I suspected that there was some printer driver boilerplate out there, possibly even published by MS, that included this bug.

(And, wow, did I swerve sharply into the off-topic lane for story time. Sorry.)

We have had these same transponders in the Los Angeles area for years and years but I do not think they do this with the number - I always thought it seemed odd that there was almost no accountability to cheating the system.

Also - does the CHP even have time to enforce this? At least where I live they are plenty busy with more pressing matters. But maybe on the Peninsula they have more time.

As someone who grewup in the Bay Area and now lives in Los Angeles I thought it was funny when she talked about how to tell the invaders (based on how they say either "101" or "the 101"). The better test for this (in my opinion) is if someone says they live / work in "the valley" or the peninsula. If someone says "the 101" that just means they are from socal vs somewhere else. It always cracks me up when someone tries to humblebrag by saying "oh me? I live in The Valley" because the OG locals are internally rolling their eyes.

In my opinion, the real solution to this isn't to stuff as much driver assistance safety tech into all cars. It's to shift our society to not need cars for basic life necessities.

There are plenty of people who absolutely are not skilled at driving. They never will be. But they have to own a car to live in our society - thus, here we are.

This video here does a better job of discussing what was so special about Saab during its best years, much more than just the look of the car or the aerodynamics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY-xA2w7JHQ

Saab was once a huge source of technological innovation.

That said, I think some modern cars both look cool and unique and offer a lot of great features and properties. The driving dynamics of even the most bare and basic economy cars and SUVs drive today is absurdly good when compared against some of the best cars on the road 20 years ago.
