I have dealt with people on a large spectrum of literacy -- it is true that many people have little practical knowledge of even major international events, but a simple measure misses an important point. People care about those events to vastly different degrees; people know about those events to vastly different degrees; and then people know and care about parts of real history, in skewed and incomplete ways, as an inevitable part of the human condition.

by example -- I knew about ancient greeks partly due to interest in classics as a young intellectual.. most people at that age did not know any details of ancient greeks. But I did not care very much about military history, so even if I knew it, I didnt factor it into relevant thinking. Next, wrt middle ages history of Ottoman slave society, fluxes in military rule in North Africa, or endless tribal and cultural clashes in eastern Europe.. I just did not know many of those things, to this day. Maybe I might care, but I had literally not heard of certain things (like Mongols in Poland, or Napolean imprisoning a sitting Pope, or Vikings in Turkey) and did not know they existed, even as as active learner.

So to sum up, people may know a little bit, but do not care, therefore do not apply it to reasoning. Even people who do have greater capacity for details, may not know, due to incomplete learning and local teaching of history. Last, wikipedia really is a remarkable thing in our time.

I wonder if carving out individual experiences would prevent users from displaying their use of said entertainment to create social status. So I’m coming at it wondering if people value the status that their form of entertainment provides more than the experience itself. On the other hand, maybe we’ll continue to just observe the death of the “main stream” as we all slip into our own niche communities, each with its own complex system of status signifiers?

This stuff really leaves me pretty puzzled. I’m a culture guy, English grad. Art is not supposed to behave like this!!!

> That's why I mention that in my grandparents generation, even low-income families could afford solid quality furniture. Today it is a privilege limited to those who hit major IPOs.

Then go to an antique store. They restore old, expensive pieces, the same way people in the past would pass down heirloom furniture and the same way most poorer folks would buy their furniture. You're just not going to be able to get new, solid wooden furniture as cheap as you did even 80 years ago and this has nothing to do with the "good old days before progress for the sake of progress". There's exponentially more people in the world now, correspondingly less wood, and greater awareness about how to sustainably forest. Modern cabinetry is done with PPE to keep the woodworker safe and shops are ventilated and vacuumed to keep the area clean.

None of this has to do with the "good old days before progress for the sake of progress". The ideology itself is tautological; instead of exploring what the problem is, it purports itself to be the solution to all problems. Good cabinetry is still available in the market at expensive prices but there are reasons why solid wooden furniture has become more expensive. These reasons are immaterial in the face of "good old days before progress for the sake of progress", even though PPE and occupational safety has been some of the gains made through this "progress for the sake of progress."

Ah, more appeals to theory. They're programs with a low ceiling on the number of steps and possible codepaths. They barely even have loops half the time. Estimating isn't that hard in practice.

Yes, Peng Shuai came out to say she was fine, with no explanation for the months of disappearance. She recanted her allegations, again with no detail or explanation as to why she made them against a prominent party official or how exactly her plain words were supposedly misunderstood.

Noodles & Company did the restaurant version of this a few years (... 5ish? 6?) ago. Went from a sensible serving of good and healthy-ish (for a "fast casual" chain restaurant) food for a surprisingly reasonable price, to a heaping mountain of bad food at roughly the same price. I assume some MBA ran some numbers and decided ruining it would make more money.
It would be great if this had a CLI tool, so that it could be used as an alternative to yt-dlp. Or a web frontend as an alternative to Invidious, which breaks more often than not.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Google issues a C&D, or just inevitably breaks it, especially if it uses undocumented APIs.
It sounds like they're trying to build a device with a distribution of ions in velocity space which is very far from the equilibrium Gaussian-type distribution ('Maxwellian'). This is difficult because there will be about a million collisions for every fusion reaction that happens, and collisions tend to redistribute velocities toward the equilibrium. Collisions between unlike particles (different species of ions, or ions vs electrons) will also cause diffusion in physical space. This could cause ions to leave the chamber much more quickly.
Some people just don't want to develop into an adult or be responsible parents. You can call this a development issue, but at some point it is also a problem of partner selection. If your partner has no interest in resolving their issues to your satisfaction, you are in for a rocky relationship continually dragging them Kicking and Screaming into something they do not want.

At some point, your partners development issue becomes your own partner selection and compatibility problem.
Yeah, my experience is limited mostly to web dev, via OpenResty, and game dev, via love2d.

The Lua libraries in these areas are very well maintained.

That said 90% of the time libraries ship as a single lua file and it’s often better to copy and paste it into your project. I have a modified version of lume I like to use floating around :)

This spartan approach to libraries is a strength of Lua.

What does tangible value even mean? Something has value if someone somewhere is willing to pay for it. It's as simple as that.

Say you could buy an NFT for $1 that is currently valued on the market at $1000 (say, other similar NFTs from the same set have traded recently at that price). Would you not buy it because it has "no tangible value"? Or would you buy it and flip it to make $999. I know what I would do.

Good investments aren't about what you like or think have "value", it's about what other people like.

In DeFi to take out a loan of $100 you need to have collateral worth $200 or more. If the value of the collateral ever goes below $200 then it is immediately autosold. Moreover the collateral has to be on the blockchain as well, so concrete assets like houses cannot be used for this purpose.

The main issue with insurance is actually assessment. All smart contracts do is replace execution, which was never a hassle to begin with.

One of the reasons rail trails are fairly popular is because it preserves the railroad right-of-way for potential future use. Even if the rails are removed and pavement put down, it's far cheaper to pull the pavement up and re-lay rails if you need the line in future (like for light-rail or commuter service) rather than to have to re-acquire the right of way again or build an entirely new line. The term is "railbanking." [0]

Some questions:

1) Who do you think started this violence? Did Ukraine invade Russia or did Russia invade Ukraine?

2) Who do you pull for when one person attacks another? The bully or the victim?

To me, these two questions and their answers determine my sympathies. You were lied to about Iraq and you are right to mistrust the US government, but the world media is not the US government. If you see reports from multiple news sources about mass graves and such, you should believe them.

It's 90% a project coordination problem, I think. Blender's efforts started early with a foundation being created shortly after it made it first open source release. It took from 2002 to 2006 for the first movie project from the foundation, and those projects were necessary as a spearheading effort to clean up the core featureset. It took roughly another decade of those projects and gradual efforts to revise the UX before the public perception switch flipped from "Blender sucks" to "Blender's awesome." At that point it snowballed and the project is now swimming in resources. But there was always a clear point of contact in the middle steps that helped make the best use of the resources that were there.

GIMP doesn't have a foundation to talk to, other than GNOME, which actually makes it harder to engage with because it means you have an institution in the way that fights ICs. GNOME is infamously bad at outreach efforts for its top level applications. What seems to define GNOME, at least in the past decade, is that the thing actually being developed is the libraries, while the existing apps are just being shepherded down the road to keep up. And as long as that's the case, the apps will be undermaintained because the foundation will gravitate towards a "don't touch that" policy for everything that isn't a library feature. GIMP has changed very little as a result.

Like, just look at the state of GIMP's developer information. It's a dumpsite. Nobody is in a marketing role or cleaning up documentation. There is development activity, but the bulk of communication about it comes from third party sources who aren't touching the code.

Usually rail trails are deliberately constructed and maintained however. Although the degree to which this is done varies. And it's also not uncommon for some section of a rail trail to have been worked on and other sections are in the plans for someday--whether because of money or local opposition.

ADDED: And as noted elsewhere the railroad or its successors in ownership often still own the right-of-way--however unlikely it would be to revert a popular rail trail to rail use.

Why do you think he's doing neuralink eh? Wake up sheeple!
I had a major crash and burn a year or so into my 40s. According to my post-collapse thereapist this was a really predictable thing among single, male academics, and not all that uncommon amongst other academics entering their 40s as well as non-academics of the same age. The blind rushing forward for the sake of not much more than blindly rushing forward tends to start to get frayed at the edges due to a number of things, not the least of which is the inevitable ravages of age starting to invade your psyche. I got out of the funk via self-administered cognitive therapy. You just have to keep asking yourself questions about why you're anxious, afraid, upset, etc. about various things, find reasonable answers, and keep telling yourself those answers until you've changed how you internalize and react to such things. Staying busy with things you enjoy - i.e. typically NOT work - also helps given how busy hands and attendant busy minds have less time to attack themselves. Such phrases as "don't worry, be happy", "live for the day", "gain the wisdom to know what you can and can't change", etc. have become hoary, cringeworthy cliches, but like all cliches they do contain a kernel of substance. We live in accelerated times where we're in a mad rush to get somewhere, although we typically don't have a really good idea just where. The last stop on the train route is the same for everybody. Those who reach the end are differentiated by how much they enjoyed the ride, and if you're not enjoying the ride you really, really need to ask that mirror why and get some honest answers.
I don't think this is a modern phenomenon. Certainly it was the younger generation that was against the war in Vietnam. It would be interesting to see polls from the Korean War and World War I. My guess is that we'd see a similar split between young and older generations.
While I tend to agree, reading through the various nuclear close calls as far as I can tell, there were far more on the Russian side than the American one, and while American nuclear incidents tended to be headed off with everyone following orders and working within established systems, Russian ones usually involve one guy literally refusing an order. It's hard to know how accurate all of this is, but it does imply deterrent through incompetence. The concern is not limited to intentional nuclear strikes, every time Russian forces get put on alert the threat of an accident grows. Putin likely knows this, and NATO is also very wary of it.
The advent of edge GPT-3 would be a huge change for robotics as well. It has been proven that augmenting robots with a language model for planning gives a leap in abilities. Maybe they could even enter any kitchen and make a sandwich (sudo make me a sandwich task).

> Gen Z is also more diverse and broadly anti-American (or “anti-imperialist”) so they’re less willing to blindly support US foreign policy and feel less connected to European conflicts than previous generations.

I don't think it's accurate to say they're "broadly anti-American" because they're "more diverse." The increased diversity in the younger generation is due to Hispanic and Asian immigrants and their kids.[1] First and second generation immigrants are equally or more patriotic than native born Americans, and are significantly less likely to say they are “ashamed” of any aspect of America: https://www.cato.org/publications/immigration-research-polic....

All else being equal, immigration-driven population change is driving down "anti-American" sentiment. Indeed, the only political group where a majority say they’re “ashamed to be American,” progressives, is also amongst the whitest: https://hiddentribes.us/profiles.

I think what you see amongst immigrants is a less ideological view of foreign policy. They have often seen first hand that American has done a lot of harmful things abroad. At the same time, they compartmentalize that because they don't view foreign policy in terms of "good and evil." They may also feel less ownership of America's role and status as world "lawgiver."

I also think immigrants are more cynical than Americans. I'd describe my dad and myself as "pro America," but neither of us care about Ukraine. (And frankly I see no connection between being pro-American and supporting Ukraine.) As immigrants from Bangladesh we don't have idealistic notions about sovereignty and human rights. “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” (It drives my Daughter of the American Revolution wife nuts when we say "some countries' fate is to be a buffer state.")

And of course "immigrants" are not homogenous but rather from a wide range of different countries that have various idiosyncratic positions on foreign policy. Some of the most rabidly patriotic people I know are kids of Vietnamese immigrants. Meanwhile in India and Bangladesh, there is a historical affinity with Russia from the Soviet times.

The white population share will decrease from 85% to 47%, with almost all of the delta due to Hispanics, and to a lesser extent Asians.
