Currency conversion is different but I'm not sure if it is necessarily worse with PayPal, although I haven't compared that as closely (I think credit cards often don't give great currency conversion rates either in addition to the foreign transaction fee). I sometimes make USD transactions outside the US (GOG, some donations) and for this PayPal doesn't charge me anything (not sure about the other side) while credit cards do (there are some that don't, but those have other issues for me). I'm not certain I've tried Bandcamp payments without a PayPal account, possibly there isn't a fee there since PayPal still processes the payments. I think I have made credit card payments to Canadian companies that accept USD without being charged the fee but I'm not sure if Canada is exempt or if the payment processor manages things so it doesn't apply.

It used to be completely rediculous how much PayPal would charge for conversion at the time of a transaction, but recently (I think in response to a lawsuit) it is only somewhat unreasonable (probably the 4% you mention). You can still get a better rate if you have funds in PayPal and do the conversion first and pay in the correct currency. However, then you risk a lengthy pain if PayPal decides to close your account randomly or block your access to it.

A ski lift that breaks legs one day per thousand would never be acceptable. Risk imposed on you by someone else or a machine operated by someone else is not at all like a risk imposed on yourself by you personally skiing with your own legs off the mountain, into an unmechanized tree.

IMO there is a huge difference between something that brings mechanical force to you (robot, ski lift) vs you bringing mechanical force onto something else (crash into rock/tree while skiing).

8 million deaths annually from air pollution is pretty well supported by a number of methodologically sound studies, with anthropogenic air pollution being responsible for more than half of all air pollution deaths [0].

We let the US nuclear construction industry die, so it's pretty expensive to rebuild a workforce with the skills to build new nuclear plants, and that has contributed to the cost of nuclear power rising above some other power sources [1], but that's only because the cost of CO2 pollution isn't accounted for, which is a massive subsidy for fossil fuel power producers.

I appreciate the analysis! This is definitely interesting to see laid out.

You're right, it was definitely hyperbolic to say it's been posted monthly on a continuous basis dating back that far. As you've pointed out, it would have been more accurate to say it was first posted 14 years ago and has been posted (close to) monthly for the last few years.

If governments aren't going to ban or replace these "agreements" with standardised terms and conditions, then they should mandate that the app or website has to check that the user has read the entire text before they can continue.

Suitable methods would be requiring the user to read the whole document out loud (checked by a locally running AI), or to click on the first word in each sentence (starting over from the beginning if they miss one), and/or to pass a multiple choice test at the end (with the set of possible answers A/B tested to ensure that they can't be guessed better than random chance).
There's a lot of nuance here.

It looks like the machine’s bishop was capturing the kid’s queen. Humans usually do that in one motion, bumping the bishop into the queen. Most of the machine’s moves also are one motion, but its captures take two: 1) ensure that the destination square is clear, then 2) move the attacking piece.

For all of typical games and most of this game, there’s a rhythm of alternating motions between players. After the machine’s first motion here, the kid absentmindedly continued the rhythm and made his next move, which was to capture the attacking bishop at its destination. The machine, naive to the anomaly, continued ensuring that the destination square was empty.
Also, chew some xylitol gum after, or just regularly.

They love showing off prototypes, but given that 85% of their military is engaged in Ukraine and doesn’t look like they’re going to be able to replace their losses for about a decade, this is just stupid

Their most modern MBT isn’t usable at the frontline and couldn’t even make it through the latest parade in front of the Kremlin. Their most sophisticated jets are lobbing dumb fire missiles in indirect fire mode. Their tanks universally compete in turret throwing competitions upon contact with 1970s handheld AT technology.

It’s fair to say that it was western and Russian overestimation of Russian capabilities and Russian underestimation of Ukrainian ability and Western willingness to respond that caused this war.

If Putin had adequately understood that Russias Military would be humiliated and shown as outdated and ineffective by his move, he’d not done it.

So maybe we should stop the breathless coverage of supposed Russian wunderwaffen

Just guessing here but “right sized” might be relative to historic temperatures and don’t take into account the extremes?

In Arizona 117 is common enough that you’d expect the AC to handle it with no problem but Texas it probably isn’t that common (guessing). Think the hottest it got since I’ve lived there was 122. People also commonly don’t cool their houses too low because it gets expensive, my sister used to have a McMansion and their AC bill was a lot (something like $400/month) and they were only cooling to around 78 or so.

Fusion is generally touted by many as an energy "Holy Grail." Indeed, it appears to have similar qualities, being both perpetually elusive and miraculous, able to solve all mankind's problems. Media reporting tends to discuss the benefits of fusion with misleading and false statements and no discussion of fusion’s negative attributes. The financial and practical perspective of fusion based power is missing. I've written a post about this here: https://lvenneri.com/blog/ConFusion. I cover fusion's issues compared to fission. In particular: far worse neutron and gamma damage, 10x more demanding heat transfer, parasitic power draws, 50-100x larger radiological waste volume, higher financial and nuclear accident risk compared to new new micro reactors, higher cost by any metric, similar or worse proliferation characteristics, etc. My aim was to add a dissenting perspective on the practicality of near-term fusion energy systems.

Columbia University has a dual-degree program with Juilliard, I can put you in touch with a few of my friends who did that (with a CS degree on the Columbia side)
I believe this is the correct approach and I do a similar thing where I work. A pair programming challenge should be enough to identify a good fit candidate - being able to discuss how they are thinking through a problem, answering questions they have to elaborate on the problem, seeing how they debug, and how they search are very useful!

Russia has been operating big ones for decades just fine. The US had a few excellent and beautiful prototype ones (EBR-2 and FFTF), but Clinton shut them down. France built 2 big ones, the first (Phenix) was great and the 2nd (4x larger, SuperPhenix) had various non-nuclear problems and shut down with a poor overall history. China and India both have small ones running fine and big ones under construction.

Many Breeder type reactors also exhibit natural safety characteristics, where they can both shut down and remove afterglow heat with no external power or user intervention at all. This is because of low-pressure coolants like liquid metal or molten salt. They can handle loss of heat sink, loss of flow, and tranisent overpower (e.g. rod widthdrawal) without the control rods going in. Normal water cooled reactors could not survive such events without melting.

So there's a strong argument to be made that while regular reactors are very safe, breeder reactors can be even safer.

Is it normal in chess to break fingers of an opponent who breaks rules? I think not. If it was not a robot but a human being he would be considered guilty. Yeah, boy broke chess rules, and what? He probably should be punished by losing chess points or something, but not by the means of breaking fingers. But the human who broke fingers of his opponent would be disqualified from chess for a life and would face charges. It is robot, it cannot be guilty, so someone else is. Who is? His creators? Or organizers of the event? Or parents of the kid who allowed him to go to face the robot? Some adults are guilty, not the boy.

The near-perfect vacuum of space actually makes it quite bad at absorbing heat, that's why anything we put up there, like space stations and satellites need huge radiators to keep everything cool enough to actually operate.

While thermal pollution in Earths atmosphere is a very real and relevant issue with energy generation and all kinds of other human activities; A whole bunch of French fission nuclear reactors are regularly shut/throttled down during summer heat waves due to lack of appropriate cooling.

The combination of these factors sometimes makes me wonder if the game Oxygen Not Included is a crude simulation of what we are doing to this planet. There the biggest end-game problem is the asteroid colony overheating due to creating a whole bunch of extra heat inside of it from using up fossil fuels, yet lacking any good way to actually vent all these massive amounts of extra heat from the little biosphere.
I don't think this works for cigarettes, actually, because even if the taste is extreme the craving is still there. I know people who can't be around certain cigarettes when lit even years after they quit because it's their preferred brand or something.

Deadspin blew up the tropes and traditions of old-school sports media, changing the industry by challenging the accepted narrative and aggressively pursuing stories that gave readers a peak behind the curtain at the sports elite.

Eh, agree that most of sports "journalism" is closer to PR than news, but my recollection of deadspin was that it was basically a gossip rag written by bro-y edgelords with a mean/vindictive streak.

Speaking of journalism, kinda hard to trust a news site that doesn't know the difference between "peak" and "peek"...

Once officialdom realizes there is a divorce in progress, they become much, much, much less inclined to take sides.

I do not use to see who are the authors of the paper I read. If I consider some guy is talented in my field, I use to read every paper he has wrote.

Yes, it's getting worse, but somehow no one can beat their very low bar. I always start with Brave or DDG, and a high percentage of the time I need to resort to `!g`.

Recently, I couldn't remember the domain name for the web game, https://plurality.fun. Searching "plurality game" in DDG, Brave, and even Bing, the results are quite bad¹. However, the site I wanted was the #1 result on Google.

I've been using alternative search engines like DDG since ~2015, and I'm quite disappointed at the lack of innovation so far. It feels like a $20 bill on the sidewalk, so I assume I'm missing some reason why they all suck, but for the life of me I don't have an explanation.

¹To be fair, the site I wanted is pretty crappy, and not necessarily what everyone wants with those search terms. Nevertheless, it was #14 on Brave's search, where 3 of the top 5 results are links to the same academic paper, "When are plurality rule voting games dominance-solvable?" on three separate domains.

I think this is a healthy and productive career path. If you can identify when a dead codebase is about to become fertile, and how to clear the debris to support new development, you can make a lot of money, have a lot of fun, gain a lot of respect, receive a lot of autonomy.

> Wrong, because Asians overindex relative to their proportion of the population in higher education institutions which don't use affirmative action.

Asian applicants also overindex relative to their portion of the population at higher institutions that do use affirmative action. This doesn't tell you anything!

And Asian applicants overindex more significantly at Chapel Hill than at Berkeley, relative to the state and local population, which is important, because both schools are mandated to accept around 80-90% in state students.

(And of course it's actually not clear that Asians overindex at UC Berkeley. The bay area is ~30% Asian, which is similar to Berkeley's demographics)

> You cannot show that whites are disfavored when the percentage of whites at these schools is equal to or higher than schools which do not use affirmative action. That is basic science 101: you cannot show an effect exists when your stats show the opposite.

Yes, you can, because as you yourself just said, the important thing is the acceptances relative to the candidate pool, and the candidate pool at these schools doesn't have a large number of Asians. You're (wrongly) relying on the base rate fallacy, which leads to an unsound and invalid conclusion.

And this makes sense, in areas where Asian students make up the plurality of qualified applicants, the schools will discriminate against them. But in areas where white students make up not just the plurality, but the majority of qualified applicants, schools will instead discriminate against white students. In all cases the goal is to reduce the most populous group and increase the least populous ones.

> Your own stats show it doesn't impact white students at those schools.

Only if you continue to commit the base rate fallacy.

> Berkeley is banned from using affirmative action or considering race in admissions in any way. Please get your facts straight instead of lying.

Yes, now, but you keep complaining about how it used to!

> California, the most liberal state in the nation, rejected affirmative action by a 15 point margin at the ballot box. I have to question the legitimacy of your polling data here if it claims 62% support AA.

Compare to recent measures in Colorado and Washington, which were basically 50/50. Politics is more complicated

> You enforce views which discriminate against Asians and which do not discriminate against whites

Again, this is simply untrue. White students are affected by such policies. As I've now demonstrated three or four times.

> and you do so with a tone of moral superiority.

Moral superiority meaning, what, exactly? That I disagree with you about a particular ethical question?

The issue when you say let’s build X00 new LWR is just cost vs benefit. Something like 5 Trillion in additional nuclear subsidies might slow down climate change a low single digit percentage over the next 30 years. This relates not just to the high cost of nuclear but also the delay between deciding to build nuclear and actually getting low carbon energy from a nuclear reactor.

Spend 1/4th that on solar or wind subsidies and you get vastly more carbon free energy sooner without any concerns for politically inconvenient disasters. 1 nuclear reactor can be quite safe, but 500 of them is 500 times the risk. Even a largely non issue Fukushima style disaster is still a major political and economic issue.

Fission is quite useful, and I hope it continues to provide largely carbon free energy into the future. It’s just not a great use of the resources required to make a real difference.

The outlook for Fusion over the next few decades doesn’t look very good, but it’s also received vastly less investment. It’s IMO a low odds but low cost bet that might pay off but probably won’t.
Overhyped Apple Silicon: Arm vs. x86 Is Irrelevant – 2021
I'm in a similar climate and have an oversized unit on the roof of a condominium building . Perfect for us would have been a 1.5 ton unit but the installer put in a 2.5 ton and told us it would be fine. Reality is...

The temperature rises and the AC kicks on. The plenum chamber in the AC unit, which is near the roof and is hot is flushed out to the condo interior. So we get a blast of hot dry air, followed by a blast of cold dry air for a brief period. The large unit quickly cools the condo and then switches off. So on a hot day the unit is cycling all day. This still happens on the hottest days of summer [in contrast, perfect would be a unit that, in the hottest weather, turns on and runs all day, barely keeping up]. To boot, this raises the electrical bill and stresses the AC unit.

So don't get a unit that is too big. Go to the trouble to have the unit sized properly.

The dehumidifier sounds great but it will decrease reliability and be one more thing to fail. It might be worth trying. Definitely don't use it with an oversized system - use it with an undersized system!
