The ability of a person (regardless of age) to manage their physiological or psychological limitations, against their capacity to do good or great things, is demonstrative of their ability to handle more complex situations in an executive or creative context, and is capably reflected in their demeanor on both video and audio interview calls. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

Why Navy Aircraft Carriers Can’t Help Ukraine
> Yetish describes a typical evening with the Tsimane: After spending the day working on various tasks, a group comes together around a fire while food is cooked. They share a meal, then linger by the fire in the dark. Children and mothers gradually move away to sleep, while others stay awake, talking and telling stories.

> And so Yetish suggests that ancient humans may have traded some hours of sleep for sharing information and culture around a dwindling fire. “You’ve suddenly made these darkness hours quite productive,” he says. Our ancestors may have compressed their sleep into a shorter period because they had more important things to do in the evenings than rest.

My vote is definitely for the boredom theory. I know when I stay up reading or coding or doodling every night it's not because I'm freaked out about bears or lions getting into my house (although I obviously should be) it's because my brain still needs to dive into something interesting after a long day of mundane tasks.

I also think there could be a connection to The Beginning was the End if anyone gets that creepy reference. Psychotic sleep deprived primates creating an insane society and destroying the earth. I could get behind that too.

Anyway this was a fun informative read to wake up to. Even though I probably should have just slept in an extra 20 minutes.
In what sense? Because on its face this seems so reductionist as to be harmful.

Common courtesy was a bad way to describe it. "Prevent a state actor from using their authority to push their personal beliefs (in this case about transgenderism) onto children and single out minorities for disparate and inferior treatment" would be the part the ACLU is opposing. Not the lack of "courtesy"
I ran into a similar one a few times from the same team that kept doing things in their scripts like

Thanks for the insight. It seems to match my understanding

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't typically interact with the host directly when using core data structures. If you were to rewrite those for instance in terms of lists (like you'd probably do in a Scheme) I don't think that that change would be visible to the user from pure Clojure code. And similarly for the standard library. Then host to host you could re-implement them with whatever data structures you want.

This would in principle make adding and then maintaining a new host significantly easier

As for the types, are you speaking about how numbers are Longs/Doubles, and arrays are Java Arrays? And that matches what Java uses - so things work smoother (except when you get a BigInt..)？ I get what you say about changing that host to host improves the coupling - but you loose the ability to share libraries which is a shame - hence why you say `dialect`. I guess if you write a Clojurefoo for a new host that normally uses Ints and Floats then it's a design choice if you want it to match the Host or to match Java. If Java is close enough I can see it making sense to create a compatibility layer and have users deal with whatever friction ensues..

From my own limited experience, host interop is super important and a huge part of why I used Clojure. Calling out to Java libraries saves me zillions of hours of coding. But the actual interop code is also not a huge fraction of the code I write. If it were a bit more complex on a different host b/c I needed to fiddle with some typeas I don't think this would be a deal breaker. On the other hand, not having access to all of Clojure's libraries would be a disaster

I wish I knew this stuff a bit more thoroughly to discuss it more concretely :)
I read something similar about THC (weed) and mangos. The fruit either accelerated or enhanced the drug effect.
Not about randomness - but about curve fitting. It is actually very difficult to verify non-linear effects -- or maybe I should say the opposite. The statistical tools we use to identify non-linearities are prone to be very noisy, so even in the subset of data including the no-variation responses I am quite skeptical that downward increase is real, or just due to variance in the tails of the data.

So a common social science finding is `* graded effects` where you might not by default expect them, and that is the main headline of the paper. I think plateau effects are reasonable in many situations, https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2020/12/14/segmented-regre..., but the noisy data itself often won't be able to clearly differentiate between different curve shapes.
Yes. Very expensive as I said.
While open source under Apache, Zulip is still centralized and single-server. It can make sense for internal communication e.g. in a company but for a public open source project like Gnome, a federated protocol like Matrix makes a lot more sense. Namely, outsiders can join the chat without registering accounts to a server used by the Gnome project. It absolves them of having to take or outsource responsibility for the security of everyone joining in.

I find it quite reasonable to pick IRC and Matrix as the two contenders. If there would have been a third, XMPP.

While interesting, such stories tell us nothing about our sleep needs. Sleep is a primordial thing. Even some basic creatures like jellyfish "sleep" on a daily cycle. So what our ancestors did around the campfire 10,000 years ago is irrelevant. Our sleep needs evolved long long before we harnessed fire. A few thousands years isn't enough time to make much of an evolutionary difference to something that began before we walked upright, even before we walked on land.

The single eight-hour, 1/3 of the day paradigm is a modern construct. In all likelihood our best sleep pattern involves multiple stints. Just ask anyone in a hot country about the advantages of siesta.

What is not so lucky for short people is how our modern society rewards tall people with more wealth. S&P 500 CEO’s have an average height of 6ft, compared to the average height of 5ft10in in the US. Also, 30 percent of SP500 CEO’s are 6ft2in or taller, compared to only 3.9 percent of the rest of the US population.

These things matter across the board, not just in the top tier management positions. Each inch of height adds $789 of average yearly salary, which makes a huge difference between a 5ft5 in person compared to someone who is 6ft tall. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/naija-fashion/2...

Lending USD to USG is zero additional risk. If one wants to hedge against the risks you mention, then one has to invest in non-USG, or even non-US, assets. But for everyone living in the US, USD will continue to be quite relevant. And given the low purchase limits on series I bonds, they will only ever form a portion of someone's assets.
Pretty cool for me. I was looking to use the kindle for a dashboard for some metrics. I really want it to start up and "just work" and not have to mess with the browser every time.

I like the idea of framing an eInk display on the wall, but don't want to buy one when I have unused Kindles.

> I say that humanity needs more long–term projects, not more short–term consumerism.

Right. If this is so crystal clear then you'd not have any problems finding people who'd put up their own money instead of extorting them.

Crystal clear + you'd have to convince a bunch 90 year olds it should not be too hard...then everybody is happy. Even scammers have the decency to convince old people to give them their money as opposed to extorting them under the threat of violence .

For sure when I am 90 I'd do everything in my power to avoid being sucked into paying for stuff that I'll never get to see or use. Old people are not jailed for tax evasion, even today...so I guess unless something changes if I get to that ripe age it would be the same.
Yeah, they would be far better off just guessing under 60 every time...

I made myself a scripting language called Calcit http://calcit-lang.org/ , features persistent data function, macros, higher-order functions, and also compiles to JavaScript. Now I use it as a replacement for ClojureScript since I make Calcit compile to JavaScript in ES6 module, which works seamlessly with Vite!

If anyone feel interested, please give a try.

One thing to notice is Calcit is using indentation-based syntax while supporting macros. It's strange, but it works really well.

That cannot be capitalism’s fault, because the city government is elected. Every adult gets one vote, no matter how much money they have. Every person has as much right as every other to try to convince the elected members of that government to take the correct course of action. If your city government is unfairly favoring one segment of the city’s population over another then you should elect a better one. Not all cities are as badly run as San Francisco. It can be done.
In fact I was quite careful with my words to use development because I did not feel that park described the situation. The plot is a quarter acre with it's own electrical and water connections that is in fact owned by my parents. I was somewhat circumspect, but I'll just use the actual name of the neighborhood - it is Canyon Lake Mobile Home Estates in Canyon Lake, TX. Up to a few years ago, it was a rural backwater on "the wrong side of the lake" and does not actually feature lake access or much chance of a view. For the last few years (predating the pandemic, but the pandemic seems like an accelerant) it has, like much of Texas, seen significant in-migration, probably exacerbated by its proximity to Austin. All that said, I still find it ridiculous that they don't allow people to live in travel trailers.

One interesting thing is that even nominal Treasuries are yielding above CDs at the moment but the difference is more like 20 bps or so.

Speaking from the UK I have to say that is insane. Like all animals, humans included, cats belong outdoors and to deprive them of their natural rhythms is cruel.

>It's about how politicians and the media co-opt her as the main spokesperson when she doesn't want that role.

While this is what I said. The big difference is that last part about how she didnt want that role. Sorry but if you travel the world and make the effort to speak. You WANT that. If you don't want to be something, you sit at home and watch tv. She wanted to be there, she took the role and is now upset about the consequences.

>She's one of the "white, Northern Europeans concerned less about the present than the future." Why focus on her instead of "activists from around the world for whom climate change was real, pressing and immediate"?

Yes I understand this and agree. The reality is that using her as a political tool blew up in their face. Now they are dealing with the consequences.

>As the article points out "In her early teens, Thunberg became sick. She ceased eating and talking. Activism, both Thunberg and her parents have said, was her salvation."

"My child has mental illness issues, you know what she needs? Not a doctor! She needs to be mocked and abused by political ideologues."

That sounds like abuse to me. Her parents are minimum 99% at fault here.

>Thunberg, now 19, is being driven by a different message: Listen to the most vulnerable — and help them build the fair future they demand.

The actual political issue of climate change is irrelevant here. There are tons of climate activists around. As I mentioned, Greta's fame isn't from her allies. She is famous because she's an easy sock puppet or perhaps a fallacious strawman of climate change. Greta had the 2 political sides just waiting for mental health to come up but you can't be the first to bring it up. Which as far as I can tell neither side ever pulled the trigger.

There's also a rule, length of wikipedia article == length of fame. She will be famous for a very long time.

Greta as now an adult has really 1 option or bet. She could sit back and hope climate change is a legitimate issue that blows up in the next few years. Al Gore predicted Florida would be under water in 2014. Perhaps next year that comes suddenly. Millions dead, major cities destroyed. Greta can then make videos about the humanitarian crisis and raise money to help them. While also pushing to do more for climate change. However, until that happens... she gets the status quo which she dislikes.

The alternative bet that would return her privacy? The reality is that she's famous because of anti-climate change ideologues. So she needs to break that. Sure bet she'll be very famous for another month or 2 but then she'll be nothing and can go about living her life. Come out against climate change. Say she was abused, she says climate change disinformation got her. That in the last time she investigated and research climate change and it's completely fake.

She'll be very popular for a tiny period of time and then go away and have her privacy back.

Why would it be irrelevant? Even the paucity of availability isn't really a problem - the big winners here are server users in data centers, not desktops or laptops.

If running a specially optimized function set on part of your fleet reduces utilization, that's direct cost savings you realize. If the AMD is then widening that support base, you're deeply favoring expanding usage while you scale up.

Here’s a story from work, but which I think matches your idea closely. Some people were pitching a remote inspection app idea. One person is on-site completing the inspection and the subject matter expert guides them through the process. Somebody said, “you mean like whatsapp? We’re also doing that with Whatsapp.”

I think there’s a point where a technology like videocalling is so flexible that it cancels out the need for simple addons. If someone says “Mom, can you show me how to make your chocolate chip recipe?” the lowest friction way isn’t going to be to download an app and sign up.

However, on the social aspect, maybe there’s room for your idea as a asynchronous recipe site where friends all make the same recipe each day and compare their dishes and discuss how it tasted? Think book-clubs and wordle?
