KDE is great, would like to use it full time, unfortunately I find it kind of buggy and not polished for my use case. Two blockers I stumbled upon last time I used it.

I use the app that is not showing proper app icon but instead generic icon, found some bug/discussion somewhere, basically KDE developers won't workaround when app has bad metadata despite every other DE doing it.

Sometimes notifications don't pop up when app receiving notifications is opened, only when it's minimized in system tray, also works fine in every other DE I used.
This is also a large part of why the US is as powerful as it is. Through a quirk of history and geography, it found itself with enormous amounts of highly productive land, crammed with resources and thousands of miles and oceans away from conflicts which decimated others.

For all the high-minded aspirations of the early Americans, their grand experiment would not have worked so well if they'd annexed Greenland.

>The subset of R that can be identified is countable, because language is countable

Define "identified" in mathematically precise terms without using circular reasoning - and there is the flaw in this line of claims. You will find such definitions miss common uses of real numbers in the same way no finite set of axioms catch all true statements about integers. You will maybe get a nice consistent math subset of the reals with measure zero, but it will not cover all the cases you want it to. Thanks Godel

For example, using your "proof" of "because language is countable" would imply there can be no infinity, yet we use it all the time. Time, for example, may be a physical continuum, so a finite interval of time contains infinitely many time steps, and if your math cannot even represent physical reality then it's a pretty weak system.

>You know they're out there, but they will never be usable the way numbers you can actually describe are

Plenty of formal computational systems are capable of using the same set of numbers I can describe.

You're conflating being able to list every number in use one at a time, and operating on sets of numbers, like computation has done almost since day 1 using interval arithmetic.

>they can't be used in computations

Interval arithmetic, formal proof system - both capable of using all the numbers as sets that I can use - well beyond (Lebesgue) measure zero.

And to be pedantic, even countable numbers have infinite measure for certain measures :)

These are great technical articles, really amazing level of detail + clarity. I wish the author editorialized a little more, and judged/explained how optimized the game is. His Elden Ring article explained why the game had microstutter and low fps (from memory, it was redrawing some frame buffers too often and didn't have low poly models for distant objects), but it was buried halfway through a textbook's worth of information.
>The article mentions they are injecting a http header

It does, but if you read carefully you'll see there's no source saying that's how that's being implemented. It's all speculation on the author's part. In fact, one of the sources linked (wired.com) says the opposite, claiming that it's "based on a user’s IP address", which wouldn't require any HTTP header injection.
My pet theory is that it's no coincidence the self-driving-car investment craze started the same time the baby-boom generation started to enter "grandpa can't drive himself anymore" territory.

In other words, I suspect it's not fueled by a technology trend, but by trying to capture a potential customer trend.

> we should discuss whether something is "able to be realized".

Cool story.

Are you about to say "well what if we can realize the way to realize it" when I point out none of the industrial work is done, none of the process work is done, none of the factories are built, none of the laws are drafted, none of the money is raised, none of the functionaries are settled, and none of the customers are online?

If you can't point to things that already exist, then what you're talking about isn't going to be ready in time.

I have been pretty clear that I am not going to be convinced by "could be." It's not clear why people insist on continuing to try.
I can't remember who said it but I remember reading a quote one time to the effect that the man who invented a new form of energy for the world without also inventing a new heat sink would be history's greatest monster. Not sure I agree, but does give one pause if prone to pessimism as I am.

Regardless of the context, the main takeaway is that, as always, don't put in your notice with your old job until you actually have a new job.
That was my independent takeaway from the article. And requesting an appeal with the verbiage "you cannot possibly be this dense" is a poor way to treat people, especially when the author admits it was the AI banning, not a person, so it wasn't a front line person being dense in the first place.

> There is a clear path to getting unbanned from Twitter, but the author refuses to take it. Shame.

I disagree on the latter part, Twitter would be better without these egotistical people on it in the first place.
Being banned from Twitter may end up being a blessing in disguise. I don't think open air micro-blogging brings out the best in people.
"Some major tax deductions like the mortgage deduction are per person as well"

This doesn't sound right.

"so the overall rate is higher for one person then two splitting."

That depends if that one person is the higher or lower earner. This statement really only works if you have two unequal salaries. Since it's progressive, you're only paying the higher taxes on the amount that is over the threshold.
Definitely. This is a huge reason most of the single remote workers I know haven't moved out to the country.

> the PP will always result in the decision to not do something, because you can never be 100% nothing bad will result.

It's worse than that; the precautionary principle will tell you that you can't do [whatever it is], because there might be risks, and it will also tell you that you can't refrain from doing [whatever it is], because there might be risks to that too. It is completely logically incoherent, an intellectual embarrassment.

The only thing that determines what the precautionary principle will tell you to do is what question you choose to ask.
I think you missed the point of the new restrictions. Stopping those practices that are harmful to users is a good thing. Ending endless spying, aka corporate surveillance, that can be a good thing. When Apple made their changes, Apple conceptually blocked any new facebook app that spys on you, because you can't install it. If there's a future facebook store that has the only facebook app (because facebook won't agree to that more limited apple ad/surveillance world capability), you'd have freedom to install that app because of european rules described here - but you wouldn't necessarily be better off by having more spying.

I think once you sign a contract with one of these providers you’re basically signing away the rights to your personal information. GDPR wont protect you from state actors trying to spy on the people, but it will allow you to ask a company to delete all personal information about you. The problem is that doing so will effectively end the service for you. If all mobile carriers start enforcing predatory contracts then I don’t know if GDPR will be very effective here.

Something additional will be required to stop this tracking. As it stands right now some European countries have started forcing ISPs to save logs, that’s actually worse. We must make sure that it’s well understood that the public does not want these policies. The public must also deny any party their vote if fixing this is not in their agenda. Politicians are getting away with slowly eroding our freedoms without many people noticing or speaking about it, that has to change. We need to let them know that they have zero support from us if they decide to continue in this trajectory.

>All the numbers we can use are computable

That's not true :)

A nice example is Chaitin's constant [1], which I can use in proof and books and define and on and on....

And it's explicitly and most definitely NOT computable :)

There are lots of numbers in lots of areas of mathematics, even symbolic mathematics that are not computable in the sense you want them to be computable. Chaitin's constant is the tip of a very big iceberg.

You're using circular logic by claiming the only numbers I can are are the computable ones then claiming all numbers I can use are computable. That's not true. It's a circular argument.

That got me thinking. The reason I moved to test-first (or test-early) is I've coded myself into a corner with respect to tests, that is, I wrote code that was super-hard to test.

>1. The downside of private sector investments is that they will only invest in projects with the most lucrative returns, which comes at the cost of serving further and smaller communities, more decentralized communities, and other less-profitable sectors, which are in the broader long-term interests of the whole society to maintain (despite being unprofitable).

I dispute your assertion that those things are the broader long term interests of the whole society. Their unprofitability is factual undeniable evidence that they are in fact unwanted "services" who are having resources poured in to them not due to their own merits but due to political decisions unrelated to their merits.

I want to be very clear here, because there are many people who seem to be under the misconception that profitability is something bad.

It is not.

Profitability is literally a measure of how much value a given thing is providing to society. There is a 1 to 1 relationship between profitability and societal and individual benefit.

When you say "Public services don't need to be profitable" or express similar ideas, what you are actually saying is "Public services don't need to provide societal benefit".

Previous documents ive written with word i would do things like tight layouts on images, maybe with anchors, but that's a recipe for things moving around.

When i came to compile my chapters to a final document i used master document-subdocument to pull everything together. I only had a few issues with blank pages being added when exporting to pdf and that was due to my use of page breaks and section breaks.
Or you can make rules about living on public transportation and enforce them with responders who will offer them a more comfortable place to sleep.
no, fossil fuels aren't a new form of energy. The implication would be that a new form of energy would just be used with all the other forms of energy, it may also have been a new cheap form of energy in the quote, implying that we would take a cheap form of energy and overuse it so that the world burned faster.

> The WHO comically mishandled Covid. It took them months to declare a health emergency despite because they didn’t want to upset China.

The WHO declared COVID-19 a PHEIC on 30 January 2020 [0], about a month after it arouse original attention in international media by very late 2019 [1] [2] [3]

> The WHO was so China centric that Bruce Aylward was outright ignoring questions if they contained the word “Taiwan.”

The very same would have happened if any WHO official was asked something in relation to Palestine [4]. Which, just like Taiwan, is not a sovereign nation recognizes by the UN because certain other UN members are actively denying these territories that recognition.

That's why WHO, and UN officials in general will act like certain places don't even exist; Their mere mention of these territories, like sovereign states, can be interpreted as the UN, giving them, at least unofficial, recognition.

> China lied about the nature of the pandemic, lied about the severity, gave fake statistics and information, and the WHO never questioned or looked further into any of it.

I'd be really interested what your alleged timeline for events looks like. By late 2019 China was publicly admitting investigating a SARS like outbreak. When do you locate the actual outbreak start? Months earlier?

That's the only way the WHO could have taken "months" to declare it a PHEIC, yet any public awareness about any of this only existed by late 2019.

I’m no expert, but my understanding is that most residential systems don’t run at variable speeds. In effect, the AC is either on or off. And that’s what makes an oversized system a poor choice: there no way to slow it down.

One exception is Carrier’s Infinity system, which is variable speed. It’s relatively more expensive, still not all that expensive, and may be overkill if you don’t have multiple zones, which it can also handle. Also, you’re stuck with Carrier’s matching thermostats. But it may be a good choice if you’re looking for flexibility.

This has already happened at a higher multiplier.

An Apple Watch has more processing power than a Cray 2, but it uses a rechargeable battery instead of a 150kW power supply.

The problem is that cycles expand to fill the space available, so another 1000X drop in efficiency would mean new kinds of applications rather than being limited to affordable super computing.

While individual computers are far more powerful and use far less energy, the power consumed by computing on Earth as a whole is far higher than it was. (Not even counting energy vampires like crypto.)

There's no reason to assume that trend would stop. Displays could easily have much higher resolutions (possibly holographic), IOT could be truly ubiquitous, AI could be in everything, entertainment could be social, interactive, and immersive, and so on.
