When I hit the motivation plateau like you’re describing, simply going for a walk or going to the gym pulls me out of it rather quickly. By the time I’m done, I come back and am motivated to work on high-impact things. I’ve found that moving my body and taking a break from dicking around online, or doing low-quality “productive” tasks with little consequence is the key there.

You appear to be saying a HOMOsexual focused organization is being HOMOphobic by wanting to focus only on HOMOsexuals.

But no, I'm not apologizing. I can't see anything wrong with any subgroup wanting to focus their attention more-directly on themselves. Do Indigenous people not have the right to their own organizations since the popularization of the BIPoC acronym?

Take the already most costly way of generating electricity and make it both less efficient (due to the cold side being warmer) and entail higher initial investment costs.

I don't agree with the assertion that "[Rust, C, etc.] are not general purpose languages but instead DSLs for algorithms". This is one of those "profound" statements that I simply find nonsensical, as if the semantics themselves somehow made a point.

Conversely, I see Objective-S as just a batteries-included, insanely high level declarative language. How is that any less of a DSL, per the creator's logic?

Plus, saying that your language is the "first [real] general purpose language" is a bit smug.

PFAS components do end up in the atmosphere from the manufacturing process, which is how it precipitates (droplets nucleate around the airborne particles).

Same story with any particulate emissions, like soot, dust, tires, etc.
It's most certainly not, since for every kW of installed renewables another kW of gas capacity must be installed to compensate for intermittency.

That said, no reason why the original deal can't be extended to renewables, seems perfectly fair. It's to everyone's benefit that all methods of power generation be held accountable for all their costs.
It depends on whether the beginner has the mindset of "oh well I'm stuck, guess I'll do a different project/cut scope/ask for help" or has the mindset of "oh well I'm stuck, guess I'm not cut out to do projects"
I'm a bit sad you can't navigate through the photos with arrow keys on the keyboard.

There is also no way to interact with the 3 year buttons with keyboard (1941, 1956, 2020) because when using tab, the buttons are completely skipped.

Lastly, when I click an external link (eg. the link to Chris Arvin's website [0] and then click Back in my browser, I'm back at the homepage and not on the map I had previously selected. This is because the selected map does not change the URL and therefore loads nothing in the browser's navigation history.

All in all, this makes this website unusuable for people with certain disabilities, because it always requires a mouse to use the website.

Germany's dependency on gas is more related to heating in the winter. It's relevant for electricity, but more as an in between solution after the phase out of nuclear and coal. But without gas, almost all of the population is screwed in the winter. France uses electricity for heating also, but considering they imported more electricity this year than they exported, they will also likely be in a world of hurt in the winter.

For me, that's the strange thing about all of the narratives being pushed with the crisis, especially noticeable with nuclear -- any decision made 15-20 years ago would be somehow problematic right now, so wishing things were done differently leads to nowhere.

What I wish this would lead to is a massive push to ditch fossil fuels, and those who think renewables are the solution should do that, the same with nuclear. I can freeze and suffer for some time, as long as there's a plan to improve things.

What's clear is that things will change forever pretty soon.

This is relatively well known [1]. ROS normally go away after sleeping, and this one of the reasons we need sleep.

But. If you are past a certain threshold, ROS can do so much damage that it starts to affect cellular ATP production, leading to a tissue hypoxia. When this happens, it leads to onset of an acquired mitochondrial dysfunction. This is a pathological state that is characterized by a lingering fatigue as its main hallmark sign. Such fatigue does not go away after sleeping.

But usually it is not like 0 or 1. A person may have something in between and live without even knowing it, thinking that it's all just mental or age-related.

Can renewables realistically cover (near) 100% of our day and night energy needs in the next 20 years? Gates book suggested no and if so thats why the comparison is apt.

I think those are separate phenomena. There are plenty of essentially input filters in your brain which are very far from consciousness. For example point and edge detection in vision can be exactly mapped to individual neurons and there wouldn’t be any consciousness involved in that process.

The brain seems to be organized into layers. The bottom layers are simple things which turn raw input into a higher more useful abstraction like transforming visual signals into “this is a line”. Abstractions get piled together in the lower levels which are generally well understood and the very top levels being consciousness which isn’t understood at all. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if consciousness had many components with many locations.

American researchers finally mapped hundreds of the earliest cases. An early proponent of the lab-leak theory was involved, but then had to admit recognizing that "clustering is very, very specifically in the parts of the market" where they now know people were selling wildlife, such as raccoon dogs, that are susceptible to infection with the coronavirus.

https://apnews.com/article/covid-science-health-china-pandem...

That's multiple clusters in stalls at the market. Even with cases with no known link to the market, still "There was this extraordinary pattern where the highest density of cases was both extremely near to and very centered on this market."

Also, there's the fact that two different strains appeared in humans. Besides the existence of multiple strains, they were also different enough that the virologist (in this ABC article) says it proves that mutation had to have already been ongoing in animal populations, "and it's mutated amongst them before it jumped to humans."
So that's why ed(1) is the standard text editor. Anything more usable is a dangerous extravagance! :)
Since it will be practically impossible to remove PFAs from the planet's surface and atmosphere short of hoping it will all eventually wash out and gets buried in sediments (but will it, ever?), when so much is at stake at our very existential foundations, I believe we should forego the immediate wide-scale application of novel compounds unless they have plausibly be shown to be safe. Yes, that can prove to be very difficult but somehow I feel having one less formula for making anti-stick pans or, historically, having to use a slightly more expensive antiknock agent are small prices to pay if it keeps the air and the water free from chemicals that cause troubles for decades if not centuries for uncounted numbers of people and animals.

There's always some risk left no matter the rigor of testing. Shouldn't keep us from doing our best.

I'm not sure how you have constructed your argument here.

My understanding is that the European Union has had 2 options:

a) pay dictators for non-renewables, or

b) switch to renewables and not pay dictators.

It is a fact that European countries have been slow to adopt renewables, and have continued to pay dictators for access to fossil fuels. Due to the situation with Ukraine, this has now been shown to be an untenable position.

The remaining option is for West European countries to adopt renewables as rapidly as possible. This is now not (just) for moral reasons, but rather it has now become a national security imperative.
It's not the parties, it's the people. In Washington state some environmental groups fought against a revenue-neutral carbon reduction plan because it didn't give them a slush fund. A couple years later they got an initiative which involved teaching carbon and sending them the money -- surprise, voted down too. Been six years IIRC since we could have had a tax on carbon.
oh, if it's as you wrote it is, imho, a pretty stupid law.

Running BGP with 4-byte ASN's is well supported by all major vendors by now. The issue is policies that use ASN:XXXXX communities which is 2-byte:2-byte.

There is an RFC to extend this to 4-byte for the ASN part but that is not widely supported yet.

https://community.cisco.com/t5/routing/how-to-set-up-in-the-...

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5668/

For small enterprises/end users (that might not define their own communities at all) this is usually not a problem but for larger networks or ISP's you end up with a compromise where you are truncating the 6-digit ASN or using a private ASN, neither of which are desirable. Arin let's you request a 2-byte ASN and if they have one in inventory (they usually do) you can get it.

> Someone thought that setting up a permanent factory in the body for spike proteins

That is absolutely not the case.

mRNA has a very limited lifespan in the body. It does not become a "permanent factory".
The pixels are classical mechanical, as opposed to LEDs (electrical) or other solid state devices.

The particles in a pixel could deform/burst or clamp together over time, as they move around.
Both scenarios lead to decreased contrast.

The less they move the longer the screen will last. I've no experience with the manufacture of those displays but I reason with physics.
I love this comment. It gets to a fundamental question of what the role is for, what the value is, and what investors think they are paying for when they hire one.

In my experience the CEO does three things uniquely that other roles don't:

1. They are the ultimate authority in tradeoffs between internal interests;
2. they are the interface between ownership and the company; and
3. they are the driver of strategic change.

When the whole company is aligned and rolling downhill with product-market fit around a single offering, those functions aren't as necessary. It just works. When you start branching out, you need a final referee that can determine the exchange rate between the desires of internal kingdoms.

But it's the second and third functions that IMO drive the executive compensation bubble. Our economy is kind of hourglass-shaped, with an economy of wealthy asset owners barely joined to an economy of consumers. The thing that is supposed to tie everything together is that the value of the assets owned in one of the bulbs is tied to DCFs of the money circulating in the other bulb. The CEO is at the narrow opening between the bulbs, mediating between the investors in the equity-class-relationships economy and the actual operating business in the actual-humans-buying-things economy.

There has always been a "strategic" layer that insists upon its own inevitability, the BCG/Bain mindset that says that things can't just run on autopilot and someone needs to be looking Towards The Future. For any given company there's going to be someone out there who has an investment thesis for how that company could make more money with some changes, using whatever that decade's version of the Cash Cows/Dogs/Stars matrix is.

What's different (IMO) is the massive amount of inflation we had only amongst the asset owners, that hasn't until recently been matched by inflation in consumer sectors. Valuations have gone up simply because there is so much money to invest, and investors have been given basically two options: keep your money in cash because equity is over-valued, or believe someone with a thesis of how a company with a NPV of $300M can actually be worth $1B with a few changes. The CEO's job is to prevent the uninflated DCF from fully decoupling from the inflated company valuation.

So we get all sorts of businesses that are doing fine for what they are, but not doing fine enough to justify their new valuation. At a macro level it's driven by QE2 and other Fed schemes, but for this one particular company it's an intriguing and reasonable idea. Now the investors put the CEO to work implementing the thesis that will will justify the valuation premium. I think that's the driver behind a lot of the exec comp and the flailing about.
The thrust being so sensitive you have no control, and then when you have enough speed, you have no power. It's literally unplayable.
None other than peer reviews and habit. All our passphrases are something like “exampledatabasepassword” whereas in reality they are long tokens.

Yes, 20 years in the modern world is far too long given that the pace of change is dramatically faster than it was when 20 years seems reasonable. It would motivate patent holders in their efforts to get the most from a patent, as many sit far too comfortably bidding their time which defeats the public good purpose behind patents
> Police themselves? Police themselves? I don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about.

Nobody thinks judges should police themselves. The question is how to do the policing in a way that respects separation of powers. Federal judges are subject to impeachment. They can be prosecuted in the same way as any other public official. Assigning the power to ethics committees staffed by unelected bureaucrats creates a whole host of separation of powers problems.

You ever consider you may be burnt out?
Sorry to hear. I think you're doing the right thing in trying to see if you can cope with lower stimulation gradually. Try lower stimulation hobbies, reading novels, going for long walks etc. Maybe you'll find that you can somewhat recondition yourself gradually. There really is a great joy in enjoying simple pleasures without distraction. Don't fret if you can't get there quickly or have a different baseline too, there's nothing wrong with being a certain way but, speaking from personal experience and general life experience, many of us seem addicted to things to one degree or another these days. Not least things involving screens.

Since you mentioned the word depressed, it can't do any harm to talk to a mental health professional too if you're concerned in any way about your emotional state. It may or may not be needed but that could also be a factor.

I will check that out, but one point: I don’t see the Nazi atrocities as good comparables. Those examples are people doing horrible things to other people. In the current instances of people at major corporations poisoning the air, water, and land, they are doing horrible things to themselves, their loved ones, their descendants. It is like a slow motion mass suicide. I feel like it is significantly more difficult to explain, as it can’t be rationalized as crimes being done to some demonized group that isn’t seen as deserving of protection. How can self-harm (and harm to your own loved ones) be moralized in the same manner that Nazis felt their acts to be moral?

Anything can be hacked, but the thousands of instances are behind different server and network configurations. These instances typically contain anonymous users with nothing but social media posts.

Data poisoning is when someone adds small changes to a training dataset to cause any model trained on those data to misbehave. An effective heuristic approach involves generating adversarial examples instead. The authors show degradations in model accuracy that are worse than random chance performance.

Not in the same way, but they're fundamentally different technologies. The Internet is fundamentally a communications technology; blockchain is fundamentally a financial technology.

The (very-)early Internet was largely used to distribute scientific papers. Once it hit the mainstream, it was used to setup fan pages for bands, chat with people across the globe, share experiences with esoteric hobbies, and basically do things like Hacker News but at scale.

If you look at other financial technologies like the joint-stock corporation or the stock market, they absolutely were used primarily for scams. Read up on the history of the stock market c. 1850-1860, particularly financiers like Jay Gould; it was absolutely crazy, with scams, panics, market corners, and bankruptcies far worse than anything in the crypto space now. Same with the joint stock corporation, which was first developed so that you could colonize and exterminate the natives without any one person having legal liability for that. (Well, that and so when a ship's crew never came home, nobody was liable.)

> Technological civilization arouse because our ancestors living in "small agrarian communities" were tired of living in a nightmare in which their children died like flies and the starved to death periodically every time the climate farted.

This is what Daniel Quinn calls "living in the hands of the gods". We are not really fit to do anything else. Humans have survived for hundreds of thousands of years living off what the land provides them in its natural course. Civilization will probably not make it much past ten thousand years, if that.

So tell me again which is the bigger nightmare: living and dying according to the whims of nature, being one small part in a society that adapts and harmonizes to nature; or the death of billions, and the extermination of considerable amounts of other life, all because we wanted to rule in place of the gods and never learned not to shit where we eat.
