I'm honestly curious about a thing, that might sound not so in-topic, but that is, actually: HN is supposed to be a technically sound community, however when someone post about some trendy neoliberals-related topics a certain part of the community instead of remain technical start to be partisan, sometimes at fanatic levels.

The in-topic part is for instance about p.v.: if you think a global electricity grid as a solution you dream something that seems to be logic, if you are a manager but is a totally crazy idea because we are not AT ALL a global community. Even if some neoliberals call themselves World Government [1] the reality is that we are various States with different interests and NOTHING at a certain scale can work simply because of that, any other thing aside.

Not only: the idea that we have the production capacity, substitution included, to build and run such monster is another dream, with the same realism of those who say "hey, I produce 130% of my consumption from p.v.". It's an old classic of those who "try and fix on the go", who typically create hyper-big disasters and survive thanks to those who do not work as them. If the entire world take this path such a big fail will not be solved by anyone.

Mycardis also happens from getting COVID-19, and the data shows it is more likely to happen and be more severe from an infection with Covid-19 than from the vaccine.

If you understand how the vaccine works, this makes sense, the vaccine simulates an infection with Covid-19, but gives your body the upper edge as the virus is not produced in it's full form and can't reproduce.

It's now believed the immune response is responsible for Mycardis, and that for COVID-19 infections the occurrence and effects are stronger because COVID-19 infects heart cells, and causes a stronger immune response than the vaccine.

When evaluating the vaccine you need to compare it against the risks of unvaccinated Covid-19 infections. In your lifetime you'll get one or the other, but if you look at all the known data, there's much more risks in an unvaccinated Covid-19 infection than the vaccines. That doesn't mean the vaccines are zero risk, but they seem the the right trade off if you consider the odds.

Edit: Also, only the lipid nanoparticle coating is unique to the mRNA vaccines, that means any side-effect caused by the vaccine is also caused by COVID, unless it's a result of the nanoparticle coating. From what I could find, it appears that only the allergic reaction is caused by the lipids, and the other known side-effects are all common with COVID as well and due to the body's immune response or the virus protein itself. And if you were curious, COVID also replicates using RNA, so both the vaccines and Covid also infect your cells with RNA.

Sure, the equations themselves lead to the same place.

But this is only true if they are the right equations.

If you look at an existing phenomenon that maybe relativity doesn't describe well enough, and find some modification to these equations that explains it better; and then you go and check that indeed this new model explains all known observations better - you have a pretty solid new theory. You can then expand this theory into the early universe and see what consequences it would have for the inflation model.

However, if you start from the big bang and want to modify Einstein's equations, what will guide you to a better model? Most likely you will use your intuition on how the universe must have begun - but then, chances are, your modified laws will predict entirely the wrong thing about the current universe; or, you can add terms to the existing equations that have no influence in the current universe, but then, by Occam's razor, your theory should just be discarded since it explains all observable phenomena equally well, but is more complex.

The oceans used to seem really big to us too, but each rising tide wasn’t destined to continue rising—the tides turned out to be cyclical, even though we couldn’t imagine anything but gods or magic to be powerful enough to cause the change. Perhaps we’re in a similar trough of understanding here?

Does it make sense to look at producing a power hungry product and selling it as a way to sidestep all the bureaucracy and monopolies in the public utility space?

Or perhaps it would make more sense to colocate with someone already producing such a product and selling them electricity so that you don't actually have to deal with making the product yourself?

I'm thinking aluminum, hydrogen, synthetic hydrocarbons, etc.

I'm completely uninformed, correct me if this is a stupid idea.
How can you force everyone to update their software (in some cases overhaul) to a new system that isn't fully built yet?

Big Tech has been behaving like this for a while now. It's clear that they only care about their own interests (partly $$$, partly ideological), not yours.
I didn't say it was their fault. I just said they're ignorant and lazy... which stands. I drive amongst them every day, and have for decades.

I didn't notice this auto-revving behavior, however. I was driving a Ford in England, so maybe they don't have this "feature."
In regards to (2), names of necessary things on the ecosystem

If you are an an electric deregulated market:

- Utility commission (PUC, etc.). They will typically have a lot of sway in your day to day.

- Retail Electric Providers: companies that operate as hedge funds and try to buy from you cheaply and sell to customers on a spread

- Aggregators: aggregate customers that purchase energy as a bloc

- Transmission & Distribution: the wires folks

- Power market: your area will vary, but this is an open market where you can sell. Typically you'll sell forward or futures contracts of a sort. There is often a day-ahead market and a real time market as well to help plug any gaps. A power provider that can spin up quickly does well here. Someone with a bunch of airplane turbines can also help here when supply > demand if they wire their turbines up (turbine = generators, backwards). There is a lot of creative financial focus in this space since the returns are more apparent than in power generation
Thanks! Yes, inversions will be there in the near future.

No, it's correct to say that cattle don't contribute to climate change, but clearly I haven't managed to explain it properly.

Let's try with an analogy.

You have a lake, that has an inflow (river) and an outflow (river and/or solar evaporation). They are in equilibrium, and the lake has existed for thousands of years, never overflowing, never drying out.

Then you build a factory/farm that takes some water out of the lake.

If the amount of water is sufficiently small, the ecosystem can adapt (e.g. less outflow and/or evaporation).

But if the amount of water you take out is over that "adaptable" threshold, then the lake WILL eventually dry out.

Blaming the outflowing river is non-sensical; it didn't contribute anything to the drying of the lake, the entire fault lies with the factory. Note that the amount of water the factory takes is irrelevant (as long as it's over the "adaptable" threshold); the lake will dry regardless, the amount only influences when, not if.

river->natural CO2 + methane cycle, lake->climate, factory->fossil fuels, less outflow->plants growing more because of extra CO2, lake drying->climate change (could work the other way as well, lake overflowing...)

I estimate the FB app is ~3 MLoC of Objective-C++.

I wrote Pascal programs as a kid that were 10KLoC.

LoC is a terrible metric because it's not the size that matters, but how it's used. Smaller that does more is more secure, less buggy, and more nimble inherently.

Edit:
A small amount of code can be unique, powerful, and took a great deal of art and skill to arrive at.
You sound very knowledgable about this, so I guess I'm mostly addressing any readers of this thread when I recommend Lost in Math as a prerequisite for making that judgement. Of the four I mentioned, it's the most personal / autobiographical / reflective.

She's obvious pissed off, and that should be taken into account when evaluating her assertions. Woit is way more pissed off, and probably the better mathematician. Smolin seems like, sad and resigned more than angry, but he also got a great gig wither Perimeter (which he might still hold?), which has to soften the blow.

Frankly my layman's knowledge of all this is badly dated, because after decades of avid interest going back to childhood I got so dispirited about it I've kind of stopped paying attention outside of a few bright spots (Deutsch/Marletto have my rapt attention).

So I don't doubt you that lots of people reject Stringworld now maybe even to the point of that being a fairly mainstream view, but 10 or 20 years ago that was a CLM at best and usually tenure-track suicide, and there's a whole generation of people who did in fact operate under the dictates of something that could, with a little poetic license, be called a "cabal". Dismantling the scientific method to admit the Landscape was, at least to an avid outsider, dogma not long ago.

I'm enheartened to hear that people are starting to try new stuff again, but it's not difficult for me to have sympathy for people who just kinda gave up.

No opinion on Mac vs. Windows, other than to say that you shouldn’t buy something you hate.

I’d question the “huge battery” of the Windows laptop, though. My understanding is that the MacBook Pros have the largest battery the FAA allows on US airplanes. So it seems unlikely the Windows laptop has a bigger battery. Given the Mac’s excellent battery management and low power consumption, you’re likely to get better battery life from the Mac.

I feel like this has something to do with whether the identity of the thing is central to the story or incidental.

"On my last vacation I went to the beach to work on my tan." vs "on my last vacation I went to a beach to work on my tan". "The beach" feels like I went to a specific beach on purpose (or that there was only one), while "a beach" feels like I just picked one at random.

"On my way here I stopped at the store to get an apple" vs "On my way here I stopped at a store to get an apple". Similarly, "the store" implies intentionality/singularity, while "a store" implies I happened upon it.

It's not "going to complete waste" any more than if you download the MS Office suite and let the installer sit on your computer without installing it because you don't have a license key. Which... nobody cares.

You're licensing the processor capacity. You're not paying for the actual piece of silicon, you're paying your fair share of the R&D and fab investment that went into it. You want to use more, you pay more. The same as software.

The amount of silicon in the chip is, what, a small fraction of the amount of silicon in a single grain of sand? A whole processor is tens of grams of material total. The cardboard boxes a standalone chip comes in probably weigh more. I wouldn't get worried about "waste" here.

That “language model” and the keyboard itself would also adapt to your own writing patterns. As you’d type, the hit areas of the letters would dynamically change to adapt based on the previously typed letters and your typing history. For example, if, when typing a word, you consistently would hit between two keys when only one made sense, it would increase the hit area of the key you meant to hit and decrease the other.
> Macro is literally no better than astrology

Pop economics is notoriously bad. But if the popular version of a science were its judgement, physics and climatology fare little better.

Concepts like unemployment, production and risk premiums were macroeconomic inventions. Would you prefer nobody thought or talked about credit crises, the relationship between mortgage rates and housing prices or business cycles? Because before 19th-century macroeconomic theorizing, concepts like inflation were colloquial [1].

Macroeconomics does work though. Central banks do a pretty good job of tuning the knobs that steer GDP or inflation towards the direction where they want it to go. You just have to recognize that these aren't and can't replace structural reform.
1. Depends on where you live. In the Houston area, it’s any power generation from 0 to 10MW for connecting to Centerpoint. You can generate (solar) from your home. As you approach larger numbers (like say 20 - 30 kilowatts) is going to require special design because you’ll push the limits of a single meter. The cheapest and easiest way to get started is to just offset your home usage with solar.

2. There is a tariff for interconnection, and you need anti islanding. Inspections are backlogged by 6-12 months in the area. You’ll need an electrician to draw up the plans for submission to Centerpoint.

3. Even though Texas’s power market is famously “unregulated”, it’s still very regulated. I recommend starting here: https://www.ercot.com/services/training/courses/details?name...

"The one that his a lot of people is WHERE <value> NOT IN (<set>) where <set> contains a NULL. Because NOT IN unrolls to “<value> <> <s1> AND <value> <> <s2> AND … AND <value> <> <sx>” any NULL values in the set makes one predicate NULL which makes the whole expression NULL even if one or more of the other values match."

Sorry, but this is FALSE.

"Even if one of the other values match" will make that particular INequality test FALSE and one FALSE conjunct will make the entire conjunction FALSE, even in 3VL.
> The Romans killed Archimedes

Yes, but not because of his science. In fact, his science was the reason the Roman commander gave specific instructions that he was to be spared. He wasn't spared because of his inability to follow instructions from an invading soldier while he was trying to work out a problem.
What about people driving while high (or the people they hit if they have an accident)? What about people who become addicted to drugs like heroin? What about people who OD on heroin?

I suppose you could argue that none of these people were injured or killed by the drugs--they were injured or killed by someone misusing the drugs.

But that same argument works guns too. Good luck trying to find some convincing way to distinguish the two.
