> Right now religion is most common among people who just haven't been exposed to secular explanations for things

Yet some people remain religious – or sometimes even become religious – despite having been extensively "exposed to secular explanations for things". How do you explain that?
Too many orgs conflate communication and collaboration. The heavy handed push for “Collaboration” always seems to stem from folks with anxiety around feeling left out, and leadership who is equally disconnected. E.g. “I’m hearing you’re not being very collaborative, spend more time bringing others along!” When really the problem is lack of communication and transparency creates fear/uncertainty/doubt. With that said, communication and coordination are the foundations for collaboration. Some orgs address those well, most don’t; too often it falls on the right interpersonal dynamics to create the environment for meaningful collaboration where 1+1=3.

So many videos are just reaction videos, or doing trends which are the same concept (e.g. a dance, or challenge) just by different people. There's so much reptition, lots of creators that keep doing the same shtick because that's what gets them views. But it's so much worse than something like youtube where it's something that has to be condensed into a few seconds so it's all very superficial.

You can tell by their twitter that their actions don't match their stated stance. They've become a woke social justice organization like many other institutions, repeating mantras such as: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1269413639464849409
What time controls do you play? Cheating is much more prevalent in rapid than blitz, with correspondence probably being the worst of all. It's unlucky for people who don't like speed chess.

The only solution to this problem I'm aware of is developing/becoming a part of a community of people you trust. Of course, that's hard and comes with plenty of limitations.

Lastly, please don't get your expectations up. This is a hugely unsolved problem on lichess and the history of its and chesscom's efforts do not inspire confidence. I noticed this repo has no updates in the past three years, during which lichess has maintained its reputation of having tons of cheaters. Chesscom has a team and probably more tools (proprietary, larger company, etc.) but the best case scenario still involves cheaters getting several games in, wasting your time along the way.

There are plenty of cases where the Err alternatives of Result doesn't actually represent an error, just a case to be handled differently. For example the binary search function (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.bi...) returns an index of the insertion position when the search fails. That's not usually an error to be surfaced.

I find that this distinction is basically the application vs library distinction in the article. Application developers tend to "just want to bubble up a string" whereas library developers tend not to.
Another advantage of triangle grids: they work great for spherical maps, whether that sphere's mesh derives from a tetrahedron or octahedron or icosahedron. You'd need some fancier logic for movements around the edges of the "sphere's" base mesh, but once that's solved you're golden.
Apparently that's also how much you have to pay to get a device that won't choke on their website.
That’s a good point. That said I wasn’t convinced by the 1% argument. Europe needs all power it can scramble for the next 2 coming winters.
And 30 nuclear reactors are still offline in France. Of the 28 still available, 5 are partially down. Many of these reactors are out of order because of technical issues (mostly unexpected corrosion).

France is still paying MWh at far higher price than Germany now (see https://www.eex.com/en/market-data/power/futures#%7B%22snipp...). This may change with Russia closing the Nord Stream 1 but you can't say nuclear energy is the solution.

USA centric answer here: In flyover country, in most cities ride share has been life changing for people that would be stuck using overpriced local taxis (in smaller 80K-150K person cities taxi rates are confiscatory and service is often VERY limited) or terrible public transportation. Terrible meaning, a $2 bus ride that takes three and a half hours (of which 2 hours is sitting in the elemets) out of their day vs. ride share taking 10 minutes and $15.

Honestly, I'm not sure where the idea came from that outside some of the largest cities, public transport or taxis even were viable options. Now there's uber/lyft everywhere, because there's always someone with a car who would like to make some money.

> You state that "we should use the best models available", therefore we should use monkeys for research.

unless you want to test drugs' safety on the actual best model available, they are the second best model available.

> that monkeys are available in the first place!

they are not available as in nature, they are bred to be available.

we're not going to some rain forest to capture them in the wild.

we could do the same with humans, in fact Nazis did it and it worked remarkably well, ethics issues aside.

Anyway, only a few thousands monkeys are used in trials and most of them in non lethal (they do not risk to die) trials, for a short period of time.

Most of the animals used are not primates.

Even assuming researches and pharmaceutical companies are evil and have the worst intentions, monkeys are the most expensive option and it takes a lot of times to breed them, a true evil entity wouldn't waste all that money and time, when a rat gestation time is 21 days and they mature in a few weeks.
Why is a modern economy at odds with a deeply religious populace? Wouldn't that depend on the religion?

A completely Mormon world would still believe the earth is round, enabling GPS and intercontinental travel. Bad for alcoholic beverage sales, but are those part of the definition of a modern economy?

I find stars so interesting, and I think the author’s point is spot on about the subtlety of the social network dopamine aspects in play. The emphasis on stars and getting more for one’s projects (not that the author is doing this) makes me feel so out of touch, and it feels like influencer-culture permeating software development. Where does marketing stop and influencing begin? Are stars the goal?

For instance, look at the how-to articles for getting more stars: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+get+more+stars+on+git...
The answer for the war is coal and this is exactly what Germany is doing. It is simpler and cheaper to run the existing coal plants at the full capacity or even increase it than try to maintain the nuclear plants long past the original design lifespan and that were planned to be stopped for years.

In retrospect it would be better if Germany did not decide to shutdown the nuclear, but presently this is a rational decision.
Yeah so you have people doing primary business work[1] doing the work of support people[1].

[1] Primary business, the shit the makes the money.
[2] Support, shit that is done only to support #1.
I hear you and I'd like to think that.

For numerous reasons, it seems that there's an "is-ought" disconnect here, as is often the case.

Business tends to be exceedingly spooked by risk, especially long-tail unconstrained risk. And copyright litigation presents an excellent example of same.

There are also other concerns. In an era of physical print and shrinking "news holes", the actual textual content of newspapers tended to shrink, perhaps establishing a tradition of no longer printing speeches verbatim. With the attention economy of the Web, the risk of sending readers off-site is a concern I've heard voiced many times both in print and public discussions and privately amongst people I know in the press. It's quite unfortunate, but real.

The case of US Government documents, in which there is no copyright concern is especially inexcusable. I'd agree with you strongly there.

Increasingly when I find such an opinion piece, regardless of the publication, I look for the source document and try to read it first. (I don't always follow through, but it is if nothing else an aspirational goal.)
I see a lot of comments about the general topic, but none on the actual tool, which appears to have no (public-facing) updates in about three years. Presumably it could be a tool that incrementally improves over time with the explosion of data lichess has, but surely there would be a single commit since 2019. Do we know that this is what's actually running on lichess's backend today?

Isn't this the role of the figure caption? At least, every paper I've ever written has fully captioned figures and duplicating that in "alt-text" seems completely pointless.

Mapy.cz is great and my go-to app for outdoors mapping and tracking hikes and bike rides. It's worse than Google Maps for search and listing, but that's fine.

A good user experience doesn’t pardon Uber’s excessive corruption.

> Uber didn’t even start out cheaper than taxis.

When Uber came to my city about a decade ago all rides were free to the passenger. So much cheaper than a taxi.
People are free to take up whatever cause they deem is worthy. I just hope some will take a pause and appreciate the absurdity of drinking milk and consuming meat AND opposing use of animals in medical research.

I have flown with Air France recently. They certainly do serve a lot of meat and cheese.

Per my two earlier comments [1], I would phrase it as an issue of biological systems optimizing soley for fitness, while (human-designed) computers are also heavily optimized for intelligibility, modularity, and ease of reasoning about. This makes it much easier to isolate and experiment with the subsystems and gain an understand, in contrast to biological systems, which will constantly bleed state across the entire system.

No. It is not standard to build an illegal enterprise and then treat the fines as a cost of doing business.
> In India it may be different, but in the US it continues to be extremely reliable.

This is a hint at the main thing we need to remember: Uber replaced a terrible taxi situation in San Francisco. Every city is not like San Francisco. Every country is not like the US. Based on various comments here from people outside the US, some places already had functioning taxi systems, with reasonable prices, clean cars, and good drivers. Why is it ok that Uber got to flaunt regulations in those places as well?
Definitely, random time is adding no correlation where it would count. Move time is an easily captured psychometric observation, the clever bit is that it’s intermingled with automated chess analysis.

Feels like there could be a lot of surprising inferences to think about here … just a few quick thoughts - how long does someone pause after a blunder, how does one react to unpredictable moves. Can definitely imagine AI being of significant utility here.
My understanding is that that was not about his actual play, but instead about his rapid rise in rating.

Well… if you can’t immediately taste a bitter almond after reading the above, I’m afraid you’re part of the 40%. (Assuming you have had almonds before)
The problem with nuclear is simply that it is irrelevant to the current situation. Won’t add enough energy to the grid, won’t solve the problem of gas demand at all, so it really doesn’t matter if Germany was right or wrong about it.
insane...so you need at minimum upper 3 digits.

i got anxiety from reading it. it almost seems like at the very top, its lonely and dehumanizing when every whim challenge is met leading to time scarcity.

i think the sweet spot is $270MM. 250MM generating 3~5% a year, 20MM in cash. you can buy everything but wouldnt spend it on this watch (you shouldnt)

which means this watch is for ppl with 800MM minimum.

That's great, but how does that justify Uber's poor behavior in places like Miami?
For many, many people, their sense experience has included some interactions with what they perceive to be the supernatural.

If yours hasn't, then obviously that isn't pertinent for you personally, but it seems wise to me to admit that others have their own experience and their own interpretation of those experiences (often not easily falsified).

A good example is Philip K. Dick's experience of apparently hallucinating a pink beam of light telling him his son needed medical care. He took the kid to the hospital, and found his child had a hernia, IIRC.

could that be coincidence, or his drug-addled subconscious picking up on some subtle behavioral cues from his kid? Yep.

Could it have been something beyond human ken? Also possible.

Can we confirm or falsify either of those possibilities? I don't see how.
Apple's Tracker Detect app for Android was designed to be inferior to the AirTag detection in Find My for iOS because Tracker Detect does not scan for AirTags automatically. Instead, Android users must manually open the Tracker Detect app and tap "Scan" every time.

Tracker Detect's lack of automatic scanning is not due to anything about the Android platform, since AirGuard exists as a free and open source Android app that scans for AirTags, Tiles, and other potential Bluetooth tracking devices in the background without needing user interaction.

AirGuard: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

In addition to automatic scanning, AirGuard has maps showing where and when each tracking device was detected. AirGuard also allows Android users to (manually) make AirTags emit a sound through the app as soon as they are detected, while Tracker Detect forces the user to wait 10 minutes after AirTag detection.
I've had ride hailing drivers cancel fairs or mark the trip completed on me before showing up. I suppose I've had worse taxi experiences overall, though.
its interesting how many conservative court opinions cite punching bag nations as the touchstone of their argument. Saddam, who was fully backed as a democratic ruler by the US, Castro or raul, who were openly and routinely supported by Cubans before and after the revolution as well.

from the opinion: " Even if citizens of such nations are allowed to check a box on a ballot, they possess only a hollow right." smacks dangerously close to highlighting the gerrymandering, ID requirement and voter purging of the two party US system.
>this is dangerously close to saying you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide.

Yes, philosophically it's different because when the police say it (nothing to hide), they are trying to violate our civil rights through trickery or whatnot. In this context, it's the citizens making sure the government actors (police) are doing what they are legally required / allowed to do. The government run by the people shouldn't be hiding anything from the people, unless it's absolutely necessary. How can a country run democratically if the voters are in the dark and can't find out what's going on?
Not at all, feedback is very welcome!
Related to this, there's a really good talk by the founder of lichess that includes an overview of the cheating problem, and the techniques they use to detect and manage it.

I was never diagnosed with fluoroquinolone toxicity. Doctors don't really acknowledge it. The best you'd be able to do is a muscle biopsy, if you were able to convince.

With my heart we have echocardiograms from before and after the antibiotics and it went from normal with good parameters to abnormal with questionable parameters. Things like E/A reversal, a large increase in deceleration time, and a significant decrease in mitral valve bloodflow velocities. These are tell-tale signs that your heart is starting to struggle that usually aren't seen until like middle aged diabetics or later on for non-diabetics. But I'm 32, and previously above average fitness.

Likewise the food sensitivity reactions are mostly diagnosis by symptoms. I've had a mild elevation in tryptase during a reaction but everything else has largely been normal.

I used to take supplements but they never really seemed to do much. When I took things I needed because of malnutrition there were improvements but that was about it. Subjectively I would say I felt more energetic while on B complex and L-Carnitine but I eventually developed a sensitivity to those medications, as I do with anything I continually intake, because my immune system's mechanism of tolerance has been disrupted by the antibiotics (and maybe something genetic who knows).
perhaps the worry is that if Europe collapses, we may discover some of the members actually align with Putin? That's the nature of democracy, all it takes is a candidate (which we usually label as "populist") to leverage the resentment of the hardship endured because of being anti-putin.
The biggest concern is that when things go wrong with nuclear, they really go wrong.
