I really like this idea!

You can find it in all sorts of places. Here's one in video games: there are a lot of League of Legends videos by a channel called "Skill Capped" that each claim to have "one neat rule" or "5 mistakes to watch out for" to help you get better at the game. The only problem? The "one rule" is something like "don't do this thing unless you know that there's an 80% chance that it'll work" - and that's the hard part, that the video does nothing to help with.

I think that this is another flavor of "insight porn" where the video portrays itself as boiling down something hard into a simple insight - yet that insight is tautological, not useful, and/or skips the hard part.
These holes are from an organism - there are known holes of similar theme that have known inhabitants.
I don't want to sound dismissive, but saying "a game will have a lot of things going for it" to me sounds like about average. I mean it can still work out, but it does raise a flag.

Well, I wouldn't mind to see that ad, if it's done tastefully. It's just, I would also think that you are not capable to run a real ad campaign, which in turn would make me loose trust in your business. If you can't run ads, what else is running wrong in your shop? Thus then never consider your product at all, ever.

Even this question should be done anonymously, IMHO, now you just publicly announced that you don't know what you are doing in terms of PR and marketing for your cool product.

This resembles a meeting I had in the past. The manager said we all had to work a little harder because the company was doing bad. He suggested to stay an extra hour every day.

He then concluded with "Oh yeah, and Li is going to take over my tasks for the next 2 weeks, because I'll be on holiday".

Interestingly after reading a bit of the Wikipedia article on that event the Earth apparently missed experiencing another solar storm of equivalent strength in 2012[1] by just a number of days.

Estimates in the linked article expect had it been facing Earth at the time the recovery would have taken 4-10 years.

That's not what it means. Look at subreddits like /r/historyporn or /r/earthporn. These do not mean porn in any kind of derogatory sense. It literally means nothing more specific than "lots of content that people like". It really does not carry a derogatory connotation, or at least it is most widely used in positive ways
>When I’m consuming non-fiction content, I try to write down specific experiments I can try that put the things I “learned” into practice.

Could you turn this into a social network where people cooperate to do these experiments? It could be used to figure out which ideas are helpful and it could be used to help people when they are stuck implementing an idea.
So it's at best disingenuos or ignorant, merely not necessarily both.

It's certainly not official, so please don't take all the choices MiniRust makes as being anyone's opinion but mine -- but we're working towards having something official like it. :)
This is an interesting angle on essentially the same problem. Can a set of theorems about the prime numbers lead another group of people to the RSA encryption, for example?

Considering that Clifford Cocks invented a similar system 4 years before Rivest, Shamir and Adleman (and even before Diffie and Hellman published their cryptosystem), the answer seems to be "yes". On the other hand, that 4 year difference means that people have to be ready for the idea, i.e., work on their "problem sets".
I chatted with him at the Dayton Hamvention way back when his first book came out. He had his bike there at the time, along with his girlfriend.
Heart of his argument is this, with which I absolutely agree:

"The moral is the need for cryptographic agility. It’s not enough to implement a single standard; it’s vital that our systems be able to easily swap in new algorithms when required. We’ve learned the hard way how algorithms can get so entrenched in systems that it can take many years to update them: in the transition from DES to AES, and the transition from MD4 and MD5 to SHA, SHA-1, and then SHA-3."

Although, personally, I am more supportive of the OpenVPN model (many standards to choose from, including older algos, maybe too much choice) compared to the Wireguard model (one set of well thought of defaults, no choice), one has to ask -- aren't they both wrong? Isn't the correct model high flexibility, while relentlessly deprecating and removing older standards, and, maybe, a clear nudge towards sensible default choices ("X recommends the following algos in 2022...").

Obviously crypto is super hard. But the 'problem of agility' seems like a software engineering problem not a hard crypto theoretical or implementation issue.
> C was invented in 1972 and became one of the most widely used languages in the world with "the compiler is the specification" - and there were many different compiler implementations too.

> I think Rust will do just fine,

Not based on the example you gave - using the behaviour of a single C compiler as a specification for the language implemented by that fairly easy due to how small C is. Rust is very much larger than C.

> and the compiler error message is (IMO) the best of any language, making adhoc exploration possible.

> Can you imagine trying to explore C from ad-hoc alone based on its compiler errors?!

Not much different from Rust: Gcc and clang C compiler errors are exceptionally good, and I miss them terribly when programming in some other language (like C++, or Javascript).
Is that bad? Surely we can manage with fewer than 8 billion people. A gradual reduction should be welcomed.
>This country was founded on the principle of separation of church and state. It's not a Christian country. It's a country that happens to have Christians living in it.

I never made the claim it was a Christian country. Yes there is separation of Church and State, but it was founded on Christian principles, and it is a fact our individual rights are legally guaranteed because by belief in God, not government or people.

>On secular morality preachers.

It's just news to me they exist. I have nothing against that.

>I don't think you have a good grasp on morality. Or on religion. Nothing about the interpretation of the Bible is set in stone. Etc.

I totally disagree. The Bible may have many stories, and some concepts may be difficult or "mysterious" to grasp, but there is nothing ambiguous about the actual commandments, and no room for interpretation. That's like saying it's ok for a State Attorney or judge to not disagree with certain laws but not others because they see things differently. They end up getting reprimanded, suspended, or their license revoked. Try telling a cop you have a different interpretation for speeding laws.

>Re: persecution of Jews and enslavement of Blacks.

The civil war was fought precisely because the declaration of independence states things like "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." And the South, driven by greed (not Christian beliefs), were unwilling to see a particular race as equal. Calling yourself a Christian doesn't mean you are a Christian, practicing it's teachings. It's like an American saying they don't believe in the Constitution or its laws; they're American in name only.

I don't think you've ever read the Christian portion of the Bible. You will only find God condemning people who treat others that way. There is literally no room for a different conclusion.

Re: Jewish persecution: Nazis made it legal to severely mistreat Jews. When rights and ethics aren't set in stone, moral standards can be bent that much.

Or give you a sequence of very short, non-critical tasks for a year before they decide they can trust you again. Speaking from experience.
I would be very suspicious around claims from people trying to sell you solar panels. There are a lot of incentives in the US such as tax credits. This is good but a lot of people in green energy industry include that into calculations, which is fine except its under the assumption that the incentive will persist. Even Tesla shows you "net effective" price of their car by calculating the gas savings (e.g. Model 3 purchase price is 47k but they "potential savings" price is 38k which include potential incentives and gas savings of $8,600)

There are other gotchas like PACE loans being senior to your mortgage. So if you get a PACE loan, the loan is transferred to the person buying the home and is senior to your mortgage.

I'm also suspicious around the maintenance and longevity claims. For instance, from my experience, the energy efficient light bulbs do not live up to to their claims. I changed about half of my lightbulbs within three years and they supposedly have a 20+ year lifespan. It's fine that they don't have a crazy lifespan, but it just shows the industry is okay with outright false claims.

Overall I think the industry is so juiced by incentives and manipulated by regulations that it attracts shady players.
And yet there is housing crisis almosy everywhere, prob govs will have to force people to move out from the big cities
I think the next big theme right now is energy. From generation to storage to consumption were going to rethink how we deal with it. Right now our pricing model is broken due to government regulation but I think the coming energy crisis will push utilities to use spot rate metering like Texas has already started in places.
Spot rate metering will finally make iot (formally known as the internet of shit) actually make sense as many of appliances can store energy while it’s cheap and dispense while it’s expensive (fridge, ac, water heater, even house heat). This will really help level load the grid and allow us to do more with existing capacity

I wouldn’t get too excited for decentralized energy.

More energy sources means more power lines all over the place.

YouTube audio is optimized for bit rate, not quality (128K MP3). You will get better results with a higher-bitrate MP3 (320K would be good), better still with an uncompressed format like FLAC or WAV.
Fuel tax will definitely be replaced with some other form of car tax, at least in most of Europe. I don't see any way around that.

But I don't quite see how free countryside electricity would mean expensive electricity in cities? Large scale wind and solar will decrease grid prices too, and most people live in cities anyway so the people dropping off grid doesn't seem like an issue for electricity transfer costs. Plus off-grid won't happen anywhere with a real winter, so most of Europe is excluded already.
yes, of the groups left, center, and right, it means those left of center, regardless of party

currently the Democratic party best represents "center" for a number of reasons, not the least of which is because their platform better represents most Americans (but not the ones on the right or left) than that of another major parry platform
The point that governments and money are superstitions and that people need to "grow emotionally and take responsibility" rather than believing in such things?

No, I'm pretty sure I got the point there.

I agree, government is just a bunch of individuals, and collectively we empower them to take action on our behalf, and they achieve things that without such cooperation would be hard to impossible. I don't believe the poster I replied to would concur, in fact a brief glance down their posting history shows this person believes governments should not exist.

>I can't see B1 or lactate on any of the blood test results

There is a more widespread test similar to lactate called bicarbonate blood test. It allows you to determine the overall blood acidity level, so you will be able to capture the acidosis/alkalosis of any nature, not only caused by lactate.

It is best to perform the test at the very same moment when the shortness of breath is being experienced.
So you are actually paid 4.2x (24*7/40) for oncall weeks? That sounds way too good to be true.
That can work but unfortunately it's not very reliable. Sometimes it just takes a lot of motivation to keep going, especially if the task is cumbersome from the start.
> The understanding of the specification may be different years later, but this applies even to the paintings and the works of fiction.

That's an interesting parallel. But for it to be equivalent, I think it would have to be to the method of creating those paintings/works of fiction. Instead of passing down the Mona Lisa, you're passing painstakingly detailed instructions detailing how to make the Mona Lisa.
Or maybe the real answer is spaced repetition because that is how we learn. It would be interesting to try a work week that was say 3 10s on MWF and the other days off. Logistically it would suck but I'm curious about what our productivity would be.

> and your domestic usage is mostly in appliances which convert back down to DC immediately behind the plug socket (most of us have this) then at some point we're going to start wanting to power our homes like houseboats or camper vans.

Most of these appliances use low voltage which travels poorly over long distances. Your car, camper van, and boat all use ultra-thick cables to move 12 volts. This is quite uneconomical for anything larger than a small studio apartment. (Copper isn't cheap.)

Furthermore, note that I said "12 volts," which is what cars and capers use. (Not sure about boats.) Some DC appliances need 5 volts, some need 20... They'll all need converters.

So how are both of those problems solved? You'll probably send 100-200 volts, DC, though the wall! The big question is, does this really simplify anything? The big advantage with AC is that it's super-easy to change voltage with a simple transformer. What do we gain by going DC in the walls? Are there any real advantages in simplifying voltage conversion at appliances? Is it worth the added complexity of a whole-house AC-DC converter; or the complexity of a DC grid?

I agree that population control mostly solves our environmental issues.

But I don't trust humans to make such collective sacrifices willingly. We're just too lazy, stupid, and selfish.

I think the more likely outcome is that reality will control our population for us, via drought, famine, war, and epidemic.

"Epiphanic rush" is such a accurate but bittersweet term for this. It must be so ingrained in human psychology from the days of shamans, prophets and sages.
In the case of Dall-E, isn't a hack for that to design _another_ ML system that looks at the training data 'descriptions' and infer a correct prompt strcture for the desired result. so the human uses this secondary system as a 'guide' to constructing prompts to navigate them towards the result (image) they want?
"Get lucky" is solid advice, but you've also got to give luck something to work with. I think your overnight success started a long time ago, at least as far back as when you showed your manager you weren't a bozo.
We could get the government to fund the experiments with research dollars, and build institutions around the country where people run these experiments with young people eager to learn and apply science and get experience with such things. Then the results could be published first in science journals for the other institutions, and then the best ones written up in popular book form for the masses to consume.

Ironically said in a self-help audio course itself.

I feel like a lot of that content seems to mention similar, either in a slight moment of self-awareness that their content will likely j just be that or perhaps in a slightly deluded way to try and suggest that this course / book is somehow different.

Content creators make a lot of money and have nice careers selling all this stuff, even streamers, how many of them would actually spend hours watching someone else's stream a day? Most of them wouldn't go near that stuff, but they happily stream for hours a day have thousands of people watch them and consume the content then cash that check.

It's a great life for the creator, not so much the consumer.

The same is with productivity YouTubers or self help authors, it's a create business to be in, but really your just selling out the other person.

It was not lost on me, when a popular self development podcast host, a few years ago talked about how they set up there twitter and social accounts to post via a third party app, because they absolutely must not see the timeline or engage in it in any way. These people are happy to use to tools out there to profit and capture other peoples attention, but guard there own so tightly because they know how important it is. That is likely a better lesson than anything they where actually 'tweeting' about.
