Neat use of these is the "fast multipole method" for stimulating galaxies.

If you want to compute the gravitational force on a given star exactly you need to figure out the forces from all other stars and add them up. This will be n^2 and slow. But turns out you can get a good approximation by dividing up space with a kd tree and using the average force from each cell to represent the stars underneath it in the tree. This gets you to nlogn

Love that you do this. I have a few enterprise projects that do exactly the same thing (minus the embed in one, just scp and untar). Can’t beat the simplicity.

The G forces are pretty minimal. Also, replica controllers are permitted. You can play with a lefty controller that swaps AB and D-pad for instance.
I’m pretty sure they did this for thermals. It’s a really
common issue to resolve thermal throttling by changing your power cable from left to the right side so the power from energy draw doesn’t cause heat to dissipate internally.
The communists in Norway, like Russia, benefit enormously from pumping oil out of the ground, which goes to the government. In Norway's case, it's 20% of the GDP. Probably much more today with all the oil price increases.

You're definitely not going to power all of NYC by rooftop solar, but also look at the size of the warehouse roofs (empty, no solar) in NJ just across the river, and out on long island. And Staten island. Etc.

Empty land is not necessarily a requirement.

Parking lot per-row shade structures that integrate PV panels on top are also a thing now, and there are sure a shitload of parking lots in NJ and out on long island.

> if sufficiently threatened europe could summon enough political will to require libya to do its bidding through threat of sanctions and adverse action against it, worst case, military force to set up a cooperative libyan puppet regime.

This sounds like ⓐ a plausible reason for the Libyan government to refuse any such project; ⓑ a good reason for the Spanish and French to ally with the Libyan government (puppet or otherwise) against the Germans and Italians, or the Germans and Spanish to ally with them against the Italians and French, or whatever; ⓒ unstable after a few decades, when Europe's own military forces are no longer overwhelmingly larger than Libya's.

(Don't think ⓒ can happen in Libya? The Eight-Nation Alliance didn't think it could happen in China either.)

> The sooner we show some humility and realize that we’re the problem

Why do people just love to hate on their own existence? How many extinction events have there been that just wiped out the vast majority of species far before humans even existed?

If earth is to flourish, grow and continue it's trend of supporting ever more complex forms of life - it will be humans that can make that happen. In the absence of humans, earth is just awaiting another mass extinction event (maybe even _with_ humans, but certainly no other species on earth has had the capacity to maybe stop one of these events from happening)

Humans are freaking incredible, miracles that boggles the mind to consider how we even exist. I'm not sure why we pretend otherwise.
Isn't that a bit extreme? Sure we don't have "the answer" but saying that the amount of things we know about how our brain works, from behavioral rhings how can our perception system can he tricked, biases in our cognition modes, the mechanism of memory and how it fails ... down to more low leven things about how the neuronal tissue works, neuroplasticity, the effects of brain injury on cognition (my favourite is when patients subjected to corpus callosotomy probably function as two independent brains and yet the individual cannot tell from inside, it doesn't "feel" like two people).

There is tons and tons of research. As with all of science there is tons of crap among the good work. As with all of science, it requires a lot of work to understand the state of the art and build upon it.

Dismissing all of that says more about you than about our scientific understanding. Yes, we humans do prefer simple explanation that fit in our heads and that are easier to achieve. That's why so many people find more compelling to believe in conspiracy theories of various kinds: they offer a clear cut, simple and total explaination instead of the messy and partial understanding of a real, ongoing rational and scientific enquiry.

After all We do prefer explainations that "make sense". On a first glance, what's wrong with that? Isn't science also trying to figure out what "makes sense"?

There are plenty of examples where our intuitions clash with reality and in some case we ended up accepting that (e.g. most people can accept that we're living on a giant sphere even if it doesn't feel so), in some other cases we kinda-sorta accept it (quantum physics) and it other cases we flat out refuse to (questions around consciousness)
Reading your comment. I had "PC LOAD LETTER" jump to mind.

There is a simple reason it isn't cost effective. A split achieved with litigation is necessarily a split of the assets left after the cost of said litigation.

Even a horribly unfair split without litigation often leaves you with more than "winning" litigation!

The is tied to the old question, "Would you accept a million dollars knowing that your worst enemy will get 2 million?" If you're so inclined to cut off your nose to spite your face as to turn down the million, maybe litigation makes sense to you. But it doesn't to me!
I doubt many Amazon goods from those sellers legitimately adhere to local standards. For example, I outright refuse to purchase silicone for food use from Amazon.
Maybe, we'll see. The Chinese Communist Party doesn't seem to agree with you, even though the capacity factor of PV in the PRC is absolutely abysmal.

The figures I've seen suggest that the capex cost of a coal power plant — which is basically a nuclear power plant without the nuclear reactor — is high enough to be uncompetitive with PV in most of the world now, even if the coal were free. So I'm skeptical that GE or CGN has found a way to make their nuclear power plants as cheap as PV, except in, like, Manchuria or Svalbard or something.

On the flip side, I'm an extravert, but I have stopped considering anything but 100% remote work. I get my energy from others, but that doesn't mean we have to share the same physical space. I used to spend 2 hours a day in a crappy commute, and for an extravert, that sucks. Now I get to spend that time around people I enjoy.
And what's wrong with New Zealand?
It just occurred to me that when they’re talking about a “rational angle” they might be talking about a slope that can be specified rationally.

If you have a repeating three-dimensional crystal lattice, and a ray of light that is following an irrational slope, then it is guaranteed to intersect one of the cell units or vertices in that lattice.

If it did not intersect any nodes, then you would be able to express that slope rationally just by counting the number of vertical nodes over the number of horizontal nodes!

I’m assuming an infinite lattice here. For finite ones an irrational slope could still “sneak through”
To late! I had the sense to download the prenup app first.
This was a helpful clarification, thanks. This paper is definitely on my reading list. Ahead of it for now is that book version of the Church-Turing hypothesis paper. I believe it's called The Annotated Turing. Supposed to be a great for self-learners like me who don't necessarily read a lot of science papers directly. Might pick it up tomorrow actually.

Turing was a remarkable person. So ahead of his time, sometimes I half-seriously wonder if he was a time traveller doing what he could with 40s and 50s technology...

Outside a few tiny movements, the Anabaptists were the first to object to infant baptism. Infant baptism was universal in the Catholic church, from the fifth century through the sixteenth, and even the Protestant Reformers adopted the practice. The Anabaptists were the Reformation's Reformers, and were named (by both Catholics and Protestants) after their most distinct and objectionable practice, that of insisting on adult baptism. (In fact, "Anabaptist" means re-baptizer -- they were named that in criticism by those who saw universal infant baptism as valid. This alone tells you something of the world they lived in -- a world that saw adult baptism mainly as "re" because infant baptism for everyone could safely be assumed.)

A lot of distinctive Anabaptist beliefs have gotten mainstreamed over the centuries, and what they were once best known for is now much more widely practiced. But the name sticks for historical reasons and the group still exists. You can read a summary of beliefs here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleitheim_Confession In the modern mileu, I would say what is most unusual and distinctive about them is pacifism.

after reading the comments I found another thing that is unexpected but related, he has been trying to write a program beating Tetris since high school, from initial python to AI. He was competitive on math(ranked in top 30 nationally at HMMT at 9th grade), so his missing out tier1 school(e.g. MIT) disappointed me a bit, but it's what it is.
On the other hand I had a MIT PhD colleague who graduated 11 years ago and is a senior software engineer just like the rest of other colleges' graduates. I guess school does not define everything(no offense).
I do believe this is the bes explanation.
On GPT-3's large number addition, a little prompt engineering goes a long ways. Separating large numbers into three digit chunks is helpful for its input encoding (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#bpes), and giving it a few examples of other correct large sums will make the correct answer the most likely continuation of the input.

For example, I was able to get 2/3 nine digit sums correct (the third one was off by exactly 1000, which is interesting) by using this prompt:

Here are some examples of adding large numbers:
606 468 720 + 217 363 426 = 823 832 146
930 867 960 + 477 524 122 = 1 408 392 082
823 165 449 + 493 959 765 = 1 317 125 214

And then posing the actual problem as a new line formatted the same up to the equals.
all those things you described are a non issue if you use AWS Api gateway and Lambda. I'm struggling to understand why acknowledging these things is so much of a cognitive load for you.

In addition you can use Pulumi, Terraform, CDK but you could just do it from the web console and then generate those.

I don't know for me these are not enough of a pain for me to move off AWS.

Depends on your definition of nothing. Cheaper than America, obviously (which country isn’t for medical care?). It’s pricier than Vietnam, where I spent $500 for 2 nights of hospital stay in a private wing for a super bad fever.
Exactly - it varies person to person and company to company.

Personally I'm changing my lifestyle to have a small urban apartment in the city close to work, shops and services; and a house close to the beach around 1 hr by car / 1.5hrs by train away. I plan to move back and forth around once a week.

For me this ticks a lot of boxes and I'm happy to overcome the hassles involved. I can see it becoming a more popular lifestyle. I couldn't do the 'fully remote' move to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
Given all of the factors involved to manufacture the capacity the author is talking about (we'll ignore labor & land costs to install), wouldn't it be better to put that into cheaper/safer/smaller nuclear power? It already runs 24/7 with no CO2.
Sounds like virtual commingling. Better, but not much.

Not really. The author proposes that hydrocarbons are in fact a reasonable transport / storage mechanism. That's the bulk of the meat here.

> "Terraform Industries’ synthetic natural gas process is not particularly complicated or difficult to achieve. We intended to make it easy to scale and deploy. If Europe had enough solar power deployed, even at current European solar prices, we could synthesize desperately needed natural gas at lower cost than transoceanic liquefied natural gas (LNG) importation, which is the next best option."

Also, low solar costs are in fact a reason to just build out where demand is, rather than do a lot of transporting. Actually, that's covered in the article. In the first few paragraphs.

> "On the chart above, the US south west receives around 5.2 kWh/kWp, while notoriously dreary England receives only 3.2 kWh/kWp. Does this mean that Britain should import solar power from north Africa? Not quite.

> "At 30% cost reduction and three years per doubling of production rate, Britain’s cost will match Los Angeles’ in less than six years. There are a few parts of the world, particularly at extreme northern latitudes, where solar power is truly painful, but they are few and their population is low, compared to the billions who live in generally sunny-enough locations. When their local cost of solar falls to the point where synthetic atmospheric CO2-derived hydrocarbons are cheaper than importing it from (probably) the Middle East, demand will increase substantially. "

There are arguments to be made for both. Some crimes, even if virtual, can stain or corrupt the perpetrator in ways inimical to society. There are plenty of examples of people who fantasised or role played abhorrent behaviour and went on to perpetrate it in real life, so there is a real danger.

For example we tolerate computer games with virtual killing, but don’t tolerate virtual rape games. Even with virtual killing there are limits. Should we tolerate nazi death camp torturer simulation games?
“ walking around the business park on foot” <- you nailed it, looking back at my career, the 1-1 time I got with managers or my co-workers walking together and informally talking things out is what made a lot of things efficient. It’s impossible to do this over Zoom. It’s just awkward.
Totally agree. But while I know mpv’s default setup is not quite what most people would like, where it truly shines is also configurability.

Out of the box, the picture quality is already better than basically any one-click install other than mpc + madVR, and the default subtitle rendering is great for anything that makes use of SSA subs, but if you’re the type that wants to customize everything and use custom shaders and stuff, you can tweak pretty much every little detail [1].

And you can write your own UI for it pretty easily with Lua or JavaScript. If you give “Custom mpv OSC” a search, you’ll probably be able to find something that suits you a bit more [2]. The scripting support in general is great too. There are loads of really useful third-party features that I wish things like Plex would support, like selecting subtitles based on filters [3].

Also worth looking into is “mpc-qt” if you’re a big fan of MPC and want something that feels a bit more like it out of the box. It’s a cross-platform mpv-based player that mimics a lot of the look and functionality of mpc [4]. The screenshots on the GitHub page are of the dark-mode feature, but it does have a near-on 1:1 replica of the classic mpc interface too.

"Little more effective than a placebo" conflicts with the large number of patients who claim SSRIs have been a life-changing treatment for them.

That statement only makes sense if tested against placebos. A lot of folk on placebos make identical claims.

The notion that it's not much better than a placebo is partially true. Short term; placebos and SSRI's aren't that dramatically different. Also, for unknown reasons, the effectiveness of SSRI's is diminishing somewhat (not due to tolerance - diminishing in results given to new patients). This makes it all a bit muddled.

If you pop out a much further distance though - placebos lose their effeciveness faster than SSRI's (and some people on both never lose effectiveness).

The SSRI's are definitely doing something, often something useful. Maybe for some people they are the long-term solution. I'm generally as suspicious of over-generalization in any direction. People are all different so blanket statements aren't likely the most correct.

Something I've heard a lot of clinicians repeat (though I don't know where the statement originates) is something to the effect of: "If you have someone who is terrible depressed - get them on SSRI's because you can't help them if they're dead; and then begin the work of addressing the issues that lead to the depressive states."

Again - a bit of a blanket statement - but probably the best general course of action. Start with staving off the immediate threat, then see if you can work on a solution that doesn't involve medication forever. If you can't you can't and shouldn't get hung up on that, but if you can, you probably should.
"merely"? Getting funding is absolutely crucial. Hiring the right people is also crucial. Turning them into a team is crucial. Keeping them focused on the goal and enthusiastic about it is crucial. All this requires a great deal of skill.

You think it is easy? Try it yourself. Maybe start a small business.

Heck, it's mid-summer. Try creating and running a lemonade stand at a profit. It's a lot harder than you may think it is.
This is partly the reason they fired him. There is no well defined scale of sentience. While trying to create that scale, using email/chat history of all Googlers they found Managers acting the most robotic and efficient while handling well known trained for situations, but totally unimaginative, bordering on mindless when handling untrained for situations. This put the managers at the bottom end of the sentience scale.
As you can imagine, if you aren't a manager atleast, the study was shelved and the team reassigned to improving lock screen notifications or whatever. But as soon as Blake's post went viral people started asking what happened with the sentience scale work? Those conversations had to be stopped.
That's not what I heard at all.

Climate control ideology grows right out of "climate change doesn't care about you*". This happens precisely because people like yourself wield "climate change" politically, and thus give power to groups that pretend to care about your concerns.

Ecologies are important discussions, science is an important argument, and weaponizing climate change is basic ideology at work (same as all pseudo protectionist politics).

> Indeed, but this is not so much about them not taking care of themselves, it's that your food is poison.

I really don't think this is the case. A ton of people in my family (and friend of the family) sphere eat well. Home cooked, good vegetables, maybe too many carbs, quality meats. But far too many of them are overweight or obese. You know what they do wrong? They eat too much.

I can't see it as anything other than a cultural misunderstanding of portion sizes and body weights learned over time. You notice it subtly in comments people make about how "small" some people look, or how "little" they eat. Yet, the person being commented on is probably 6' tall, 180lbs, and just ate a 1000 calorie dinner.
