There was a lesswrong thread warning people about Leverage (a 100% literal Bay Area Scientology-like therapy cult, as opposed to the general LW community which is just a self-organized kind-of-a-sex-cult). I thought it was notable because it's written as if actually having an emotion or trying to look like it believed anything would be a deadly sin.

I visited Lake George at the end of 2021 and the Howard Johnson restaurant was a tourist attraction, for some reason. Bummer to see it die.
>Background: It looks likely that far-right secretaries of state and governors will be elected in 2022 and in position to disrupt the 2024 presidential election. I hope this is unlikely but given the power they wield it also is "possible".

I mean, plenty of people drive dangerously anyway. I'd rather most people brake abruptly than drive 20mph above or below the flow of traffic, weave dangerously, pass on the shoulder, run red lights, fall asleep, drive drunk, etc. If they get in a car that's merely "too cautious", that's a pretty big net win for society.
Rationalism is an important term in exactly the field they are supposed to be interested in. And they're using it in more or less the opposite of its conventional sense.

I guess it could be just really perverse usage, but I figure it's more like 'objectivism', or 'scientology', words that sound big and impressive to people who are either dumb, or just not very well informed.

You can't really change a term like rationalism, since it's really one of the biggest terms in philosophy, and philosophers are the kind of people who get upset when people use stuff like 'begging the question' wrong, which everybody does. So even if the 'rationalists' ended up having loads of great insights despite their inauspicious start, it would almost certainly never change the meaning of the word.
> Central bankers created a gigantic misallocation of resources - as they have always done since the dawn of time.

Lmao, we came out of a once-in-a-century pandemic with nothing more than a couple scratches and minor inflation and you find a way to complain? The real misallocation would have been seeing profitable, healthy businesses die in the months following March 2020 - has everyone just forgotten the mass panic until the Fed stepped in? A couple overconfident hedge funds and bad SPACs who have already been brought back down to earth is a very small price to pay (I paid very little since I did not invest in meme stonks).

Do yourself a favor and sell that car before it’s worthless. You won’t be doing a favor to the person buying it though.
Why not just apply a gradually increasing natural gas tax across the state? Wouldn't that have a similar effect to a ban-for-future construction, provide consumers with choices, and generate revenue?
I guess I am in the 1%. My company has a great environment but the pay is much lower than FAANG. So I both am applying elsewhere but can also recommend it.
If it bothers you that Scott was the first person you saw raise that, you can ignore that part. However, I work at a biotech and regularly consult with scientists and doctors about COVID treatments, and several of them mentioned that possibility as being a potential explanation some time ago.

Is it really important for you to be "right" here? I am not attempting to misreprent medical opinion, just give an insight into their current thinking.
Or, ya know, an older car that's got fewer bugs than features. Alas, my spouse won't go for a car that actually works reliabily.
One argument I can think of is that PoS gives the power over the currency to the wealthiest users. On the other hand, any financial system is controlled pretty much by the wealthiest, even (and especially) Bitcoin, as you can buy more computing power with your wealth. Not to mention pump and dump schemes you have access to with more wealth.

So yea, PoS is the way to go, at least wrecking the environment is not incentivized as much.
It’s based on the C65 prototypes (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_65) from 1990/1991. Not sure about “modern”, the modern keyboard layout was arguably established by the IBM Enhanced Keyboard (https://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_Enhanced_Keyboard) introduced in 1985/1986, so roughly at the same time the now-retro C128 and the Amiga were introduced (who had vaguely similar keyboards).
I second the book rec, I thought it would be fairly predictable and lame, but it turned out to be completely awesome.
From the original article they're responding to:

> This is still just a possibility. Maybe I’m over-focusing too hard on a couple positive results and this will all turn out to be nothing. Or who knows, maybe ivermectin does work against COVID a little - although it would have to be very little, fading to not at all in temperate worm-free countries. But this theory feels right to me.

> It feels right to me because it’s the most troll-ish possible solution. Everybody was wrong!

Actually, if it does pan out, score 1 for the conspiracy theorists. If you actually asked them by what mechanism they thought Ivermectin worked, they really had only two answers, and "alleviating strain on your immune system by killing parasites you didn't know you had" was one of them, from very early on.
You also left out part of the story.

Gore wanted to selectively recount. Recount this county, but not that one. The Supreme Court shot that down 7-2. The SC also ruled, 5-4, that Florida couldn't keep recounting forever - that, in fact, they had run out of time to do so. (Imagine if in 2021, on January 6, states were still recounting and not ready to report results, and you can see the problem.)
What point are you trying to make? That I'm misrepresenting the usage of Ivermectin by cherry picking facts? Wouldn't you be inclined to show I'm wrong then instead of just imply I'm misleading people?

Here you can find a long list of countries that use it nationwide as recommended at the national level (which is why I used countries to begin with) https://ivmstatus.com/
> Instead of defund the police let’s fund public safety solutions that don’t involve law enforcement.

This is literally what "defund the police" meant, just that the unfortunate naming caused people to do that thing where you read the headline and not the body. The initial push for "defund police" was to remove their responsibility for mental health calls and things of that nature and send specially-trained personnel to deal with that who had training to de-escalate and help those folks, without needing guns and such.
You do have to wonder about a company where the CEO says one thing about FSD to the public, and one of their executives involved daily on the regulatory side tells the regulators, in writing, something wildly different.
developing software doesn't work like that, and the companies that do develop software like that are technologically stagnant.
quoting Alan Kay from https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~susan/475/AlanKay.html

"the late 1960s, Jean Sammet was able to track down and chronicle about 3,000 programming languages that were extant then"
That one was already reported to the tracker :)

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32670

(To be clear, I’m not saying that there’s no issues that aren’t in the tracker yet. But there are a bunch of them that are. More will absolutely be found as time goes on, that’s just how these things are.)
the thing about Rust's ownership model is that a reference is not ownership, it's 'borrowing', and should be treated as such. But - and here's the kicker - the borrow happens as long as that reference is stored, not just when it's accessed i.e. dereferenced. This makes a number of data structures and patterns difficult and impossible to implement as you can't keep track of references to anything. You can't really make an opaque handle, for example, that can do operations through a stored reference. You have to store some ID or something and then when you want to do operations you need to pass the original container to the function anyway - so what's the point of even having reference types at that point?

IMHO Rust's lifetime analysis should consider borrows only at the point of dereference, not just whenever you encounter an & symbol. They already do that with raw pointers - you can have as many pointers as you want but you only need to mark `unsafe` if you actually dereference one. So at least someone on the team knows how to make that work functionally.
I’m pretty confident that the comment you’re replying to was intended to be ironic.
>I feel that the cruise control is to strict in keeping a particular speed in hilly areas, and I live and work in hilly areas.

This is always an issue with underpowered ICE vehicles and cruise control, less-so with the 7 or 8 gear transmission, but still. They don't have enough power to maintain velocity, so constantly shifting, speed up, slow down...
I have a Volkswagen BEV(an e-Up) and it absolutely has a water pump - it pumps coolant around the charger.
This is an advertisement, I was hoping it would be about cartography. I don't mind plugging your product at the end but "Why are maps so hard to make?" is never answered.

> creating and collaborating a map today is not much easier than it was in the 90s

Yes, yes it is. It is MUCH easier. This product looks nice but there's no insight here.
I believe that ads, micro-transactions and mandatory connectivity are the root of evil both in gaming and social media. They create the platform where the most profitable business model is one based on manipulating a user. The loot boxes is an ugly but also a very specific method of exploitation. If it is banned, others will come up.

Legislating the online entertainment could be based on experience from gambling, tobacco, and alcohol. The harm caused by those industries was limited by licenses and taxes. A tax on online entertainment based on a few traits that enable dark patterns. It should be high enough to make them less profitable than the old-style games meant to be played single-player and offline. It would stifle the innovation, but the innovation about how to squeeze more engagement and money is not of value to the society.
Except when it suddenly turns into incoming traffic. Don’t believe stats from Tesla.
Are they profitable in the context of uniform standard accounting practice?
The relevant observation here is that you, and most schoolchildren, and most prime ministers, have a capacity for self-awareness and a sense of shame.
This article was a bit long-winded, but it makes a very fair point and I don't understand why it was flagged.
How likely is it that one takes an anonymous benchmark published by a noname researcher seriously?
The article states that architects have reviewed and found it to be surprisingly well built. They made some reinforcements. Definitely not a “have to come down” situation according to experts
The older I get, the more doctors I see, the less each doctor individually does, the more evident that the rapacious copay of my job-provided health insurance will drive me to less health care, perhaps obviating the need for any health care at all, though my executor will be left holding the bag of paying off outstanding bills.
Seven factors to make meetings better
>The internet back and forth on this topic is interesting because I find it completely removed from how Uber drivers feel. Speaking from an American perspective, I take Uber and Lyft pretty frequently and I ask every single driver I ride with how they feel and almost unaminously they say they prefer being contract because they can just take rides whenever they please.

It's similar to the role of tips in the US. According to everyone on Reddit, tips are evil and a way for restaurants to get away with underpaying servers. Everyone says this ... except the actual servers themselves, who prefer the current system because they end up making more than they would from a straight salary.
From what I've read, natural gas power plants have much higher efficiency than point of use. Powerplants try to squeeze every last drop of energy out of the inputs and their byproducts, whereas a home stove just lets energy and byproducts into the atmosphere.
Love the notes. But Why Note taking is an important aspect of reading ? I would like to know. If you have already assimilated the information, do we need notes. Is it for others to read or oneself ?
"once you learn the quirks"

I had to laugh at this statement - imagine if I had to tell to a patient that he had to learn the quirks of his defib - so it "might" randomly just restart your heart at inopportune times but just hold on while it happens :).
Doctors were discussing the idea in Grand Rounds at UCSF a couple years ago. I can't find the recording right now.
For sure, but that means their profit is definitely below 40M$.
I'm not sure the lawsuit has much merit. OVH's datacenter designs are custom, widely described by themselves, and on their terms. You sign up for their services based on what they provide, they didn't promise much, and when their SLA was broken they paid up.

That's how they remain so low cost, they skimp on everything they can, like Ryanair.

If i can draw an analogy, it'd be like buying food from a food truck selling very cheap seafood, which follows all relevant regulations, but has a booklet describing how that seafood takes a week to get to them, and you get sick. Yes, they should do their job better, but nobody can act surprised.
The main advantage is: mittelstands are going for a zone that VC's actively avoid, that has tremendous underutilized potential.

Logically, which is easier: trying to earn 10 million a year in revenue, or 1 million? We can simplify that even more: which is easier, trying to earn 1 million or $100,000? Trying to earn $100,000 or $10,000 a year?

At every level, for every step down, the answer is: much, much easier. Given two numbers for revenue, the smaller one is easier to achieve, every time. As a rough approximation, for each comparison given above, one value is about 10x easier to achieve than the other.

The problem is that VC's exclude, and filter out, the easiest class of money to make, that in the $1-$10 million range.

But there's always been a follow up question here which I've thought a lot about: which is easier - going from $0 to $100 million in revenue, or going from $1 million to $100 million?

The easy rebuttal to "the $1 million business may not be able to go to $100 million" is "then they can pivot and still be far ahead of the person or team starting from $0." They already know how to run a business, how to do idea validation, how to be ramen profitable - they've done all that. It's going to be easier. They've done it before. Yet right now no one targets them as the safest bet, as in fact where the smart money should go.

So a mittelstand, by one treating these smaller amounts of worthy of pursuit (amounts which are also easier to achieve), and two leaving the door open to going beyond those amounts when the time comes, might even be able to outcompete many VC's, over time.
3D UMG Widgets for VR and PC in Unreal Engine 4
Absolutely, my second sentence says how that could change.

I would have thought that it's fairly self-explanatory that anti-spam measures utilize the strongest signals. If sender domain becomes that, it will get more weight.

So if in the future email providers could reject both SPF-less domains and DKIM-unsigned letters, IP's would definitely become less relevant. So, get people to deploy those things.
> I think a lot of Rust users would argue they don’t even care much about performance. They just enjoy all of the correctness guarantees the compiler can enforce

Aren't these correctness guarantees only for performance related factors though? (allocation/memory and concurrency). The rest of your program would be just as correct in any other language.
Rust cannot copy what Go does without compromising on various language design goals. What Go does is good, but what’s good for Go isn’t always what’s good for Rust. That goes the other way too :)

Rust did try to have something closer to Go before 1.0, but it led to so many issues it was removed. Those issues aren’t a problem for Go.
My path to Rust async sanity was using lots of Rc. Though at times when I'm using lots of Rc, I question why I'm not just using a GC language.

I really like Go as a language and you can approximate a lot of its development style by just using channels similarly in your own code. I frequently employ crossbeam channels to that effect.

It just makes sense. SpaceX is far, far ahead of Boing. And one thing that is really driving that is that the Atlas 5 is sold out.

Further Starliner flights would require human rating of the Vulcan vehicle. ULA does not want to pay for that. Boeing doesn't want to pay that unless they know they have a steady stream of Starliner missions and that is not a sure thing.
I think the use of "rationalism" follows modern philosophy trends and isn't a reinvention. They are "actually" empiricists as opposed to rationalists, yes, but most of those rationalist ideas[0] moved to continental philosophy and are now part of the modern rationalists' enemies, humanities people who read French theory.

"Rationalism" descends from analytic philosophy/logical positivism/scientific method types, so they're into experiments now. This is good, because their main program of logical positivism doesn't actually work, so it's kind of a problem that they're still trying to do it.

Like you're in any position to chide me?

It's a common South African insult, in fact I've heard classmates say it to one another in early high school for dating girls in late middle school. It's a word, people sometimes say it. There's a context. It wasn't a formal accusation. One in thousands of comments, you actually expect perfection from Musk and police?

Let me tell you as someone who has pulled off exactly that in 28 conflicts, as if they were 28 chess matches, I haven't fucked up this whole time. It's fucking impossible in the long term. Narrowest odds imaginable. That's not fucking up at all, much harder than merely winning 28 times in a row, which is already staggering. You have to let us fuck up sometimes, let it go. Someday I'll fuck up. Especially due to manipulation eg a racketeer as a last resort, when arrest was imminent, angled his back to get injured by police, in order to get a lighter sentence by countering the guilt of crime with an accusation of police brutality (SFPD police didn't fall for it, not even close).

The bad guys want us to fuck up, it's not easy to foil them every single time. Saying this is possible implies strict inferiority on the part of the bad guys.

And if you expect perfection from the police, you ought to tell them that next time you call them to come vindicate you. So they know you might yourself accuse them of brutalizing your victimizer.
My parents-in-law own a late-model VW. It’s not my car, but I drive it regularly when we visit. Despite limited use, in the last year or so I’ve had 3 phantom braking incidents - one with my son in the car that almost resulted in an actual collision with another vehicle.

I hate this car so much. I cannot believe that VW thinks this junk technology is a good idea and I will never, ever buy a VW.

With the emergence of dark grocery stores, there will be major opportunity in the space of personalized nutrition. Shoppers will be more connected with a mobile app when it comes to their grocery store experience, and those apps have the potential to steer you toward an optimal diet that saves money and improves health.

I strongly believe personalized nutrition and shopping experiences will have major impact on non communicable diseases.
Of course, (unlike some commenters in this thread) the air travel industry thankfully had the good sense to look at autopilot on balance rather than fixating on a single fatal accident (or in the case of Tesla's Autopilot, the mere possibility of a fatal accident). The salient question isn't whether or not an autopilot allows for any fatalities, but rather whether or not it reduces fatalities relative to manual piloting/driving.
It absolutely does. Also that was an "if, then potentially" sentence about reputation tracking in the future.

In your case, it's likely that your volume and sending patterns aren't consistent and trustworthy enough to keep track of your domain and IP reputation.

You have to understand that they get millions of letters from new domains each day, sent from compromised Wordpress blogs and the alike. If you want to be deliverable, you have to be consistent and not suspicious.

Or, more likely, there's some other mistake in your configuration somewhere.

I could have specified but at the professional level and high end in homes, electric basically means induction nowadays, for cooktops.

In a professional kitchen an all electric setup would be:

- induction cooktops

- electric oven, usually a combi

- electric fryers

- electric water circulators

And then they'll often add a small charcoal burning grill to the setup for grilling (I know, not electric but works with no gas hookup).
Luxembourgish online dictionary (LOD) now available for Mac
Cool idea but very low "wife approval factor". Just do the box fan + MERV 13 air filter if you want something decent for <$50.
LOD is the Luxembourgish Online Dictionary, it is available on lod.lu. The purpose of this project is to package the definitions from LOD into a dictionary file compatible with Dictionary.app on MacOS, thus enabling the user to right-click with a mouse or to force tap with a trackpad on any word in Luxembourgish in most of the apps and get a direct access to its definition.
The problem with this point of view is that each contributor to climate change, by itself, is not especially significant. So if we dismiss each individually as being insignificant, we end up doing nothing about any of them. That’s my perception anyway, if you know of the big, highest priority climate change contributor that should be focused on before the smaller things, please let me know!
