The thread starts with question: "Have you experienced a moment when most of your nation supports an unjust invasion, and many openly and proudly dream of genocide?" As a response to "judgement is inherently immature". That latter also seem to think that "principled is same as judgement".

Both of these refer to ongoing situation.

> I am interested in solving the long-term problem of preventing the next genocide.

How so? You feel we don't have huge amount of data about past genocides and desperately need new data from this one, before we can make judgements and decisions in an ongoing situation?

Why the limit of "must end up without judgement else you are immature"?
Your metabolism goes UP under fasting. Not down.

And everybody is different.

2500 is average male adult. That does not mean that he, or anybody else, actually uses 2500 calories per day.

Typically people can burn up to around 39 calories per kilogram of weight. Which means the bigger you are the more you burn.

90kg man, with an active lifestyle, would could need around 3900 calories to just maintain his body weight.

If he was a very large person who is overweight then 150 kg is not going to be very abnormal. I know plenty of guys that weigh like that don't look like fat blobs. They are just really big. Big frames, very tall, etc.

In that case then needing to consume 5500-6000 calories to maintain weight is not unreasonable. It is high, but not outside the expected range.
Geopop videos on youtube were my introduction, and are definitely the quickest way to get the gist. Then I started reading his books.

Accidental Superpower is his first, from 2014, and is the best overall introduction. It doesn't just look at current events; he applies his approach to pretty much all the great civilizations of world history, starting with ancient Egypt. Well worth reading for that alone, it's amazing. Also covers modern day, and while it's a bit out of date now, the broad strokes haven't changed. This book includes a prediction that Russia would invade the rest of Ukraine right about now. If you read just one, make it this one.

The next two books are entirely focused on present day.

Absent Superpower from 2016 has two parts. The first is probably more information than you want about the shale revolution in the US, but he keeps it interesting. Then he writes about individual countries, with more of an energy focus. This one's obviously most relevant to the tech we're discussing here, which could change everything if it scales up soon enough.

Now I'm partway through Disunited Nations, from 2020. This also goes country by country, and of course is the most up-to-date so far. He starts out with several chapters on China, and goes into more detail than the previous book on their situation, which is incredibly grim. Now I'm starting the next chapter, on Japan.

His next book comes out in June. I think he mentioned in a video that he focuses more on the outlook for various industries.

Genuinely and speaking in the kindest way: I think what you consider culture has aged out. Youth culture does exist, but has simply changed in a way that no longer appeals to your definition of culture. It’s also covered in the news, see: the Astroworld crowd crush. There’s new terminology (bussin, deadass, bet, etc.), new aesthetics (cottagecore), and new music consumption (the rise of kpop). And my knowledge is likely a older now (the teenagers I know are aging out into college).

> We have a future should we choose it.

As in the old Tonto/Lone Ranger joke, who do you mean by "we"?

The Ukranian crisis reminds us that a particular disease of power is that it collapses to "I". It is possible that the man with the power decides there should be no future for you.

Who do you have in mind here?
Arguably he's always been fairly out of touch. He fucked over the twins who hired him to build ConnectU - with the primary mechanism of growth of exclusivity via tapping into the social networks of each university requiring a university email to signup - Mark knowing full well, stating as much, that there don't need to be two platforms, and so purposefully leading on the twins that he was working on ConnectU while he instead of trying to launch TheFacebook beforehand; first-to-market advantage with sociopathy and a total lack of ethics.

Ethically, morally, emotionally (empathy) - he's been pretty out of touch this whole time, not understanding the full breadth of consequences of his actions, and therefore not caring.
I think it's natural for older people to react with dismay when confronted with a younger person's pessimism about the future, but to say that it is failure of obligation or responsibility is seriously misunderstanding, even willfully, the kids thoughts on this. The situation is, in fact, quite reversed! Consider a child who is more pessimistic about the future than their parent at the same age, why is that? You could hand-wave it away, as people tend to do here, and say its a problem of education, or they have been brainwashed, but no one seems to consider just how much intellectual autonomy or rationality you are denying the kid to have, you are choosing to simply deny flat out any basis for the kids pessimism.

You could also conclude that, in fact, the world is worse for the kid then it was for the parent, which I believe is occams razor here, and what else is that but the failure of the generations before? You can blame the apps, but you made the apps (quite literally around here); you could blame the schools, but who was responsible for the character of education in a country but the voting generations of the past? But instead, everyone would rather just doubt children, or say they are lazy!

We inherit the world we are born into, yes, but there is no sense or ground to the world, it is flying blind. Older people are saddened by deep pessimism of younger people, because deep down, it is nothing more than an indictment of the world they have left the kids, and it hurts to reckon with that, so this thought rarely passes into consciousness, happy to be deflected onto presumptions about the kid's responsibility.

It's sad to not have a shared future between generations, but like in the article, we need to take seriously the irreality of the Future. At the end of the day, kids do not like your future, the future you have left for them. The trajectory of the world as it stands.

To me, it is heartening that kids, maybe not yet with a sense of agency, manifest profound pessimism, because it is correctly identifying a problem in the grandest, most existential sense: the narrative of history we have been operating on for a long time. Profound pessimism is a seed that can grow into powerful critiques about the most unsaid and damaging assumptions of our time.

If you are so angry that kids would dare question the longevity of the world they find themselves in, you are saying something more about yourself. You take it personally, because deep down you know they have inherited, in part, your own failures.

Thanks for posting. We watched the retrospective as a family with breakfast today.
One reason is because although the short-run price elasticity of demand for fuel is almost zero, the long-run is not.

i.e. if fuel prices stay high for months, consumers keep filling up their cars, keep buying the same fuel-inefficient cars they always have, keep making the same number of trips

If prices stay high for years, consumers start looking for other transport options, start buying more fuel-efficient (or electric) cars, etc.

Also: when oil companies make outsize profits during normal times, you get people with pitchforks calling for heads which is bad PR; and you get certain stripes of politicians calling for price controls etc.
Multi-process in node.js web serving is doable but operationally more of a pain. The cluster module will let you spawn a bunch of processes all sharing the same listening port, but sharing caches, connection pools, etc become much more difficult. If some aspect is particularly CPU-bound you can use web workers, but for run-of-the-mill web requests I'm not sure it's worth it.
The American president lives like a Roman emperor surrounded by his Praetorian guard. It seems kinda sad for a democracy.
I have. But at that job we got the ML system to a very solid state where it simply became a matter of maintenance. That didn’t require a whole lot of time, which meant people started looking for other ways to use ML, unsuccessfully, to justify keeping themselves around.
Biden has clearly taken a hit for these high energy prices. Here's my sincere hope: that people start to realize this is nothing more than unjustifiable, opportunistic greed by oil companies that would be no different in any other administration.

Just like with foreign policy, there's absolutely zero difference between the US political parties here. None.

The conversation we should have as a consequence of this is why are we giving away natural resources to allow private companies to make massive profits paying the government just a token for the privilege?

The US (and every other country) should have a model like Norway where they get the lion's share of the profits from resource extraction.

As an example of how far we are from this, look no further than the case of Steven Donziger. He is an American lawyer who helped Ecuador obtain a $9.5 billion judgement against Chevron for the massive pollution Chevron caused in Ecuador. As a result of this, Chevron found a friendly US judge to appoint a private oil law firm to criminally prosecute Donziger for fraud (in the US). He has been disabarred in New York for his "extravagant" pursuit of Chevron and charged with criminal contempt. Donziger had a bail set of $800,000 for a misdemeanour contempt charge and spent over two years in home detention.

I bring this up as a stark example of just how beholden the US government is to corporate interests.

It will be worth it for people who have their own corps and can defer income across years. But will be really hard for a “normie” making $100k to afford a $1M home even with this. Or I suppose impossible given that underwriting requirements won’t let their debt/income ration pass on a $900k mortgage.

So it may be impossible for an honest person to meet this. Maybe if someone does this right before getting married and then they have a wealthy spouse who can help pay the note.

The monthly p&i on a $900k loan is about $5k at 5%/30 years. So a $100k income can’t make that without some additional income sources.
Note that most of the graphs show drastically worse mental health situations for girls vs boys. Which accords with my experience as a parent. It's just awful out there for young teen girls, and a horrible experience parenting one.

That said, I'd submit that what social media on the phone is for girls... video games are for boys. All encompassing, immersive, 24/7 focus stealer.

And Zuckerberg wants to make this markedly worse on both fronts.

We need a 'Butlerian Jihad' against this crap. And I say this as a person who came of Internet-age spending all my waking hours on MUDs & MOOs in the 90s. We need to resist the "metaverse" (the commercial weaponization of the "virtual") with all our strength.

The error is the space before the asterisk. The original intention was to delete the contents of the folder /path/to/delete/. Instead, the asterisk enumerates files in the current directory and they get deleted
This was taught to me in my first linux admin job.

I was running commands manually to interact with files and databases, but was quickly shown that even just writing all the commands out, one by one gives room personally review and get a peer review, and also helps with typos. I could ask a colleague "I'm about to run all these commands on the DB, do you see any problem with this?". It also reduces the blame if things go wrong if it managed to pass approval by two engineers.

While I'm thinking back, another little tip I was told was to always put a "#" in front of any command I paste into a terminal. This stops accidentally copying a carriage return and executing the command.
All my personal domains are .net. I prefer it to .com, as I think it rolls off the tongue better. I also think it sounds a bit more neutral than .com which always sounds to me like it should be a business and a few of my domains are just personal projects or non-commercial.

This is distant past for me, but I'll clarify two things: everyone that I encountered seemed quite sharp - it was a strong and interesting group. Next, my experience was personally unpleasant and parts of it still stick with me, but it was not horror-level. I also recognize it's a gigantic company, and chalk my day up to a bad match and statistical flukes.

When I left the building that day, due to the late start and shifted schedule, the office was basically empty. I made it a few blocks on my walk back to the hotel when a thunderstorm rolled in. Lacking a phone and the option to return to the building to find a person, I ran. Didn't make it. I actually had forgotten about this part until I reflected back on it this morning. It was a fitting end.

That's fair enough actually.
Besides recursively deleting /path/to/delete/ the command also deletes all (non hidden) content of the current directory (note the * at the end of the line). I assume the correct command would be /path/to/delete/*.
Once we get used to doing same thing multiple times a day, it doesn't matter if the log shows that we're about to take a destructive action, we'll still do it.
Only thing that is foolproof is to not take the destructive action because people make mistake, it's human nature. I don't know how this can be implemented, may be encrypt the files, take a backup in some other location (which may not be allowed).

Multiple reviewers here didn't catch the mistake

A plane that:
- is outmaneuvered by any legacy fighter in the sky
- carries less useful load than any legacy fighter in the sky
- is underpowered
- has a useless, unfixable gun
- cannot fly high and fast because it starts peeling off its precious radar-absorbent coating
- cannot be refueled by a truck that has been sitting in the sun, due to cooling issues
- cannot be reliably be operated in hot & dusty environments due to risks of premature engine damage
- cannot be flown by pilots below a certain weight (70+ kg, a problem for women) due to the risk of terminal, neck-snapping damage when ejecting
- relies on an unwieldy, buggy maintenance prediction software that has already be re-written from scratch once, and, by the looks of it, will have to be re-written again
- that has a service life of about 1/4 of the original requirement
- has an operational availability of less than 60%
- [..] (the list goes on an on..)

cannot, objectively, be called a pretty good plane. No. At best, it can be considered a pretty good cash cow for Lockheed and its shareholders. A bottomless pit being endlessly re-filled with dollars in exchange of empty promises.

Where it did succeed, however, is in being an excellent Trojan Horse. With all the unattainable promises it made, it lured in a few European countries, that, once it was clear the costs would sky-rocket, where in too deep to pull out. And all the cash that was wasted in the process was not used to fund/develop a competitor.

Oh. And Lockheed got lots of valuable, free knowhow in the process, in exchange of construction promises that never materialized, because, you know, top-secret developments, leak risks of sensitive technologies, etc.. So win-win for them again.

Whoever implemented the surveillance of children should burn in hell. Since that probably doesn't exist the next prison with strong similarities should be chosen. You teach them that this kind of 24/7 surveillance is normal and I think they have enough problems with peer pressure through social media. You also teach a zero trust behavior. That can be good in a context and it can be really bad if it becomes learned cynicism.

I could understand it until age 10 perhaps but at some point you want your kids to be independent. If they aren't bots by that age.

It wasn't the first horror film my children saw (they watched Jaws, Alien, and Stranger Things) but the most terrifying and traumatic experience they've seen was the shipwreck scene in the Black Stallion.

Coincidence both Bambi and the Black Stallion were written during or in the immediate aftermath of world wars?
rm -rf /path/to/delete/ *

Note the space between the last / and the *

This will recursively remove the directory /path/to/delete and remove every file/directory that matches * in the current directory where 'rm' is being run.

When what was most likely meant was:

rm -rf /path/to/delete/*

Note the lack of a space between the last / and . This will remove all files that match that reside in the /path/to/delete/ directory.

I’m led to believe from my experience that social media and anxiety are two dark stars in a system spiraling into collapse. Social media causes anxiety; and anxiety increases social media use because we’ve been conditioned to dissociate negative thoughts by looking down into our screens. Engaging in one initiates a self perpetuating loop.

When I have no stress (on rare occasions I’m able to detach from my problems), my desire to use my phone at all is non-existent. So I think you are right that’s it’s difficult to attribute causality when kids are constantly under stress.

If he experienced any of these relatively common life activities (and many more out there I'm sure) they are more difficult economically than they were 60 years ago.

Obviously it's a matter of degrees and I'm sure he wouldn't trade places with his counterpart in Yemen...but to argue that life hasn't changed for him in 60 years as an American seems a bit wrong.

It seems like all these programs are geared toward driving up home equity. So anything that would decrease home prices isn’t making it through.

Similar to student loans where the problem is super high costs. But instead of addressing that, there’s short term things like zero interest student loans and forgiveness. And I think those will drive prices up more.
