> One aspect of entropy that I always find counterintuitive is that unlike mass, charge, etc. it is not a physical quantity.

Those physical quantities might be intuitive, but as a physicist Brian Greene once wrote, no one really knows what mass is. We only know that mass bends space-time curve, hence gravity.

I don't particularly care about the nurse being mentioned or the details. I'm far more concerned about the fact that nobody seems to be interested in talking about or making regulatory/process/culture changes at this hospital and/or others to ensure that it can't happen again. It's too easy to make individual nurses responsible for deaths when the actual cause is in the processes that allowed it to happen. I'm not seeing this kind of investigation. Where's the FAA/NTSB equivalent for healthcare?

> But if you look deeper than that averaging it stops making sense to me. It's a completely different world.

I think you're less confused than you think you are!

As I posted elsewhere, it helps to think of entropy as a quantity that actually depends on how much you know about the system in question.

Typically when you calculate the entropy of a system at temperature X, that means all you know is that you stuck a thermometer in it and measured X. You don't know anything more than the average temperature. It could be in any state consistent with that temperature.

If you know more about the system, it has less entropy. If you know it down to the exact microstate, it has zero entropy.
I provided a proxy service[0] to do the oauth handling. It gives you a permanent token that let's you access your up to date oauth tokens, of course with the caveat that you have to trust me. This is not really a scalable solution.

You vastly overestimate the amount of western help to Ukraine. Sure there is some equipment that reached the front but that is mostly handheld weapons (anti tank or short range anti air). These types of weapons usually do not win was but increase amount of attrition to the opposing side.

Russia's "victories" are extremely small and came at a great cost. They cannot win the war by having these type of battles with these losses. It is just not sustainable. Whatever metric you use.

Their plan was to topple the government and expectation was that most Ukrainian army will surrender due to fear of mighty Russian army. Once that failed they have entered into a conflict they cannot win conventionally and that will cause them massive damage for little to no gains. Whole operation in the north of the country is exactly the model how this war is going for Russia.

And the worst thing for Russia is that they are still not "all out". They are not mobilizing hundreds of thousands of conscripts from previous years so it's likely that soon they will be outnumbered on the battlefield. Once Ukraine brings up their reservists and new volunteer units to the battlefield it is to be expected that the tide turns against Russia.

Ukraine right now is trading time and small villages for attrition against Russian forces. It is working very well. Similar game plan was used to great success around Kyiv, Sumy and Chernihiv.
I wrote more in response to an adjacent reply, but your analogy is missing the point.

The work featured in those publications does indeed showcase the best “NBA players” and is better than quite a lot of other work at large.

But it simply doesn’t aim to speak at all about the “players” of the NFL, NHL, FIFA, Starcraft, etc.

And that’s exactly what the analysis in this article reveals.

Writers in the literary genre critique and share literary works in journals for readers who enjoy that style.

Meanwhile, other journals do exactly the same thing for their own styles-of-focus, and lots of writers and readers stride across all of them.

Housing legislation is something that few politicians have been talking about in the last decade. We have spent a lot more time talking about healthcare, and student debt, but not the number one financial factor which is housing. You really can’t leave it alone with legislation every 20 something years, you sort of have to keep evaluating and reevaluating it. Otherwise while we let the current systems in place fester, what you get is side effects that we simply can’t address until decades later (e.g Canada banning foreign buyers, ok great, the damage has already been done).

Many of the investor class had the first mover advantage where they simply bought a house before everyone else and can now leverage those gains into more investment/rental income property. Couple that with foreign investment. Couple that with home equity and margin loans. Couple that with the private sector collecting houses. Couple that with mortgage fraud where people don’t pay investor taxes and continuously buy homes as a first time home owner. Couple that with with all kinds of things. I know a home owner that owns multiple homes, stopped paying taxes on one and had a tax lien discharge. They go on to sell that other home at profit and pay off the IRS. They never took the hit on their first home in any way. Multiple ownership is a problem, period.

We finally end up to where we are today and the only powerful entity that modulates this is the Fed, but not a single politician is taking up the battle over the fact that the multiple home ownership is killing our society at the moment.
Those are good thoughts - the issue with 'escrow' however remains complicated - it generally implies some kind of authoritative clearing of a contract by some kind of 3rd party. If 2 people are arbitrarily entering into a contract, then I'm not sure how much 'true escrow' can really be had.
Dude, incredible work. I've only discovered CL in the last couple of months and everything I learn and discover brings me so much joy after being solidly disillusioned with programming after a decade-ish career.

No. "Globalist" is an established anti-semitic slur, it derives from the "Global Elites" of the anti-semitic New World Order conspiracy.

While "Globalist" specifically has become much more prominent over the last 20 years, but Jews being the secret globalists is not new, even Hitler referring to Jews as “international elements” who “conduct their business everywhere,” posing a threat to all people who are “bounded to their soil, to the Fatherland.”.

I suspect you could implement this as a Haskell DSL.

The discussion part where you are not allowed (from Terraform lang) to create behavior dependent on the actual values of "Unknown" values (to prevent an ambiguous / non-deterministic plan), reminds of Applicatives vs Monads a bit.

(Sketchy potentially non-100% true illustration ahead)

For example, if you write a command-line parsing library using a Monad, then the set of command-line options is not an upfront fixed set easy to list with --help, but can change depending on previous command line options (here the command line parsing can peek into the upfront "Unknown" values, the options used and their values, to generate even more options).

While if you write it using Applicative, then peeking into the actual values is not possible, you can't create branching behaviour.

And this is the political dimension of systemd. One they keep using to shape the ecosystem to their preference.

> If I'm to design some piece of software that requires something,

See that's the point. It doesn't _require_ a merged /usr to work. The benefit of the merged /usr here is that this guarantees to potentially overwrite/extend "all" binaries, not "only" those in a split-/usr. The latter doesn't mean it doesn't work. It just means that they only overwrite one place, not all potential places something exists.
> Systemd has this problem

How does systemd have a problem? Systemd doesn't care about having a read-only rootfs at all, except that it supports it and now ships a little tool that's useful if you happen to use them. Fedora and Ubuntu doesn't ship a read-only rootfs(1).

(1) Well, Fedora Silverblue is an experimental Fedora-variant that uses a read only rootfs. But that point still stands.
“Folder navigation is the main way that personal computer users retrieve their own files.”

Maybe in 2010, but is that true now? Is that true of younger users? I personally use find all my files through search (Alfred on macOS). And I know many others who do too.

“Folder structures were found to be shallow (files were retrieved from mean depth of 2.86 folders)”

Again I don’t know if this is still true. When you have to manually click through each folder, then shallow structures make sense. But when you can search into all directories at once, then this starts becoming less of a constraint. And instead you gain the benefits of deep structures without the negatives (I.e. cd’ing through 10 folders).

I went to the Netherlands recently and COVID was almost a non-issue. No masks, crowded cities. Their society still seems to be intact, without having to enforce this level of draconian ridiculousness.

It was disillusioning. This late in the pandemic, when everyone that wants a vaccine has received one, I really do think we are overreacting. Let's return to life as normal, keeping the positive developments like work from home around.
> "code is law" ... Why is software treated as something to be outsourced to a private sector company?

Don't worry, many governments effectively outsource legislation to commercial lobbying bodies who feed draft and proposals to parliamentarians.

Prominent example: The American Legislative Exchange Council, which even formalizes this practice.

Why can't we have "civil programmers" who contribute to an ever growing body of public code just as the legislative process contributes to an ever growing body of laws. This body of civil programmers (terrible name but hey) could also work hand in hand with the open source community, letting stakeholders (citizens) contribute too.
Not the previous commenter but there will certainly be a reckoning whenever knowledge that social media is harmful reaches a critical enough mass.

It's odd that they're still insisting on cleaning surfaces, although it's been long concluded by e.g. the CDC (is it a settled science?) that infections from surfaces are very unlikely. But I guess if they're going for zero covid, then any little chance need to be reduced.

“In from three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being.” - Marvin Minsky in 1970s.

GPT-3 is very far from the science fictional sentient AIs. It is merely a tool AI and using large language models such as GPT-3 will likely emerge as new kind of programming. It's a skill in itself, as GPT-3 can easily go off the rails if not kept in check by a human mind providing examples and instructions on what outputs it should generate. There's already a term for that: prompt engineering.

Society survived very massive changes - development of agriculture, industrialisation, emergence of information economy and was better off from these changes. If the Artificial General Intelligence eventually gets developed the world will adapt and benefit. Yes, things will change and some people will become unemployable, such as hunter-gatherers and farmers of the old times. But consider the big picture: the human society had adapted to some massive paradigm changes in its history and is likely to so in the future.
I am a former film post production professional. Resolve is the thing I recommend to people nowadays. It's free plan is still permissive enough to get really professional looking results and the color processing and quality is as good as it gets. And it runs in Linux as well (the original color grading consoles this was developed for were running Linux).

Of course the main issue with that recommendation is that Davinci Resolve is geared towards professionals. That means the tool can do much more things than any amateur will ever need or understand. If you invest a little time to understand the basics and don't tend to click random things without knowing what they do, this should not be any issue at all. Resolve has a very clear workflow and you can always skip the parts you don't need (e.g. color correction, audio mixing).

The real advantage here is that if you learn it, there is no ceiling to how professional your results can get in terms of post production. But don't forget the golden rule:

Shit in, Shit out

Post production is great, but recording images and audio in a good way makes or breaks quality.

> You could change insurers- not everyone has this kind of tracking

As far as I know, all of the company insurances require pretty strict documentation of when who was working (or not) because the difference between "I fell of my office chair during my free time" and "I fell of my chair while working" is financially significant for them. I did check the major ones because I also thought it's irritating - and I mean I'm legally an employee, too, so this directly affects me - but I couldn't find a better offer.

I fully agree with you that their risk aversion shouldn't force me to change my behavior, but then again, I have to accept this level of bullshit from pretty much every large supplier, because my company is too small for them to take me seriously.

...but maybe you don't need to go as far as Haskell. Any language with generics could work, like Java. (Or well, void pointers or anonymous interfaces..). Just make sure the user-written plan code doesn't get any meaningful info about the unknown values, only able to pass it around.
Good news, the barrier between government <-> corporations <-> ONGs is growing thinner and thinner, with the same people moving between those and working in the same agenda. Many political decisions that shape the countries have been delegated to big corporations so that nobody has to take political heat for those decisions. It's better if politicians have to actually change the law and deal with the responsibility if they want to change the country.
> You already have them: freedom not to sign a contract with such an employer.

When that employer is the only major one around, there is no such thing as a truly free choice.

There's a reason why meatpackers, Amazon or Walmart like to set up shop preferably in areas with high unemployment and why unionization attempts have been so fraught with failures - these companies exploit that the US social safety net is pretty much broken, and when your survival depends on that crap job you're not gonna complain too much.

A truly free labor market is one where everyone can choose to not work without losing their home as a result... only then, employers are forced to provide actually competitive working conditions (wages, workplace safety, equipment, break times).
It's strange article, so I posted here to seek out what's the problem. If they search for non-index column it's very likely to do table scan.
Most of the weapons provided aren't sufficient to retake territory. The only reason why Ukraine regained the north of Kiev is because Russia packed up and left.

Ukraine has primarily been getting short-range defensive weapons and some drones. You need armor and artillery to mount effective offensives. It's clear so far that while Ukraine can put up a stiff resistance, they aren't as capable of doing the required combined arms assaults that they need to push Russia out.
