It is the same for kanji for me. I usually don't actively know something by seeing it and reaching for it, I just see it enough times that one day I "feel" the answer first. I never go "Oh yes, that's the kanji for cat, this is definitely correct". My brain goes "CAT!", and then I just have to assume this is the kanji for cat. Almost like there's a disconnect between active recall and knowledge stored from repetition.

Who Cares if You Listen (music/art)
It has been happening here in Romania for more than a decade now, our previous president even called them out as “the smart guys from the power industry” (where “smart” was used in a derogatory way), of course that nothing came out of it all.

There were also a couple of curious deaths happening in the industry (the head of our State-owned hydro company, who died in his late 30s, the local boss of a power utility, who just threw himself from his balcony), but nothing came out of that, either.

Most probably part of the huge proceeds end up in the accounts connected to our intelligence agencies (the heirs of the former Securitate, which have split into several agencies after 1990).

At 42% capacity factor of 2,600MW, 24 hours and 365 days in a year, that's 9,600,000 MWh in a year. At a 30 year lifespan, the capital expenditure is $330M/year, for an average cost of $34/MWh. This is basically unbelievably cheap for offshore wind, and if you would tel someone 10 years ago this price, they probably wouldn't believe you.

Wind typically has very low operations and maintenance costs compared to the CapEx, but even at 20%, the cost is still less than $45/MWh, which is incredibly cheap. Of course this doesn't factor in the time value of money, but to see raw numbers like this for offshore wind, which historically has been quite a bit more expensive, is a bit shocking to me.

Colonialism succeeded for several centuries largely because the invading powers had better weapons than the defending nations. The nations that most rapidly adopted the technologies of the colonial powers (ex: Japan) suffered the least from the deprivations of colonialism.

As far as why technological development boomed in Europe, that's not really a story of political ideology, sociocultural norms, or anything like that. For example, the invention of the blast furnance by German ironworkers c. 1300, was probably a key event. Add in the importation of gunpowder from China, and you had the world's most powerful weapons, such as ship-borne cannons.

A lot of history is just blind chance, as well. Manifest destiny claims about the inevitability of history and superior civilizational strategy aren't very interesting, other than as social propaganda aimed at justifying more expansionist warfare.
My uninformed take for what it's worth.

Let's assume your projections are right and cannibalism is unavoidable like you say. You will never sell any of this technology. There is no need for it until there is a nuclear winter, so nobody will buy before it happens. After it happens nobody will buy anything. The only thing that could invest in something like this is government, but no government will commit political suicide by funding machine-assisted cannibalism.

Sounds like the same technology could be used to kill animals in a more ethical way. Perhaps you could market it as an ethical cow killing machine or something? Then you might even be able to continue secretly pursuing the cannibalism tech agenda, making sure the cow-killers can be easily repurposed into man-killers.

Anyways it sounds like you are an aspiring Bond villain, so I wish you good luck fighting spies and superheroes. When you inevitably trap one in one of these capsules don't turn around until they are 100% dead! Thats how they get you!

That’s just a different problem we can’t solve, either.
you'd have to do your research - the law that allowed 100 shareholders order up a special general meeting every days was I'm sure only a NZ thing (and I think I remembering the conservative govt of time changing the law to protect their mates from this loophole). In this case we had to buy min 100 shares each which was about ~NZ$100 at the time - so that's about a $10k investment - we all sent proxies to the organisers - that $100 was worth a lot less by the time we were done, I don't think I ever bothered cashing it up
The data showing the difference between percentage of college graduates and noncollege graduates who believe they have long COVID seems to point to a placebo effect. I don't see why college grads and non-college grads would have any reason to be affected differently by a virus.

Those all physically limit any signal. Starlink already communicates with the ground, just depends on reading phone signal from noise at that altitude.

you were making an ontological claim, which simply doesn't hold true in any practical or reasonable sense, in any and all domains.

then, i put forth a separate observation (perhaps too tersely and obliquely) that biology is the most brutal (ultra-objective, yet ultra-complex) and so the least reasonable domain to be employed in pursuing your line of reasoning (which is wholly subjective and cultural).

biology isn't subject to human reasoning, emotion, or culture, which is where ontological arguments like yours squarely reside.

If we're going to talk about liability, that makes nuclear look better compared to fossil fuels not worse, as nuclear disasters are so rare and deaths from something like coal are extremely common.

Why is nuclear, middle-of-the-pack in terms of safety, worth singling out? The only thing I can think of is the human preference for people to die gradually in subtle hard to attribute ways than for a far smaller amount of people to die in dramatic nuclear meltdowns.
Good advice, but there's a complementary aspect to consider: are the jobs you fail to get actually a good match for your skills and experience? Do potential employers look for what you think they are looking for? Your resumes and job applications could be misaligned, not only unappealing.

For example, a company looking for a rather senior sysadmin might care for familiarity with highly specific tools and cloud platforms more than for the ability to keep a whole company's applications running.
Greg Egan is an extreme example of math in hard sci-fi. https://www.gregegan.net/ORTHOGONAL/ORTHOGONAL.html

72 Letters by Ted Chiang is a great short story with a well-developed premise. Maybe not people's typical idea of hard sci-fi, but as a fan of the genre I really enjoyed it. One of his stories became the movie Arrival.

Peter Watts is another author whose work I really enjoy. The slideshow you linked reminds me of a fictional presentation he used to have on his website on vampire biology. Can't find it though.
If spending was the issue, the doubling of social welfare spending's share of GDP would have provided such a massive amount of resources to these programs that a 1.3 percent drop in relative spending wouldn't lead to the dire outcomes this article references.

And if you call the Tories reducing spending by 1.3 percent of GDP, what do you call a doubling of spending as a share of GDP? The Big Picture here is massive spending growth over the long run, that totally eclipses this minute drop.

>>Once you allow for inflation, there is a growing underspend in care

Wrong. The UK has seen significant per capita GDP growth, after accounting for inflation.

So rising social spending as a percentage of GDP means rapidly rising inflation-adjusted spending per capita.
Great insulation? Wood has 5-10x the R value per inch of concrete, and wood framing tends to be mostly void space that can be filled with even better insulation. Concrete has thermal mass, which is not a real substitute for insulation.

That's not a contradiction though. Yes, there is broad popular support for renewables and until earlier this year gas probably also had a better reputation than it deserved, compared to coal.

But culturally, especially in the Ruhr region, coal has the benefit of nostalgia whereas nuclear has always been scary. Of course nowadays most "coal" is actually lignite and there is some resistance against lignite mining destroying large swathes of the landscape whereas the industrial architecture of "black coal" mining has become a national heritage. But lignite is still benefitting from some of that "black coal" nostalgia.

It's probably worth adding that these perceptions not only vary by region but also by socioeconomics and politics.

From what I've seen, the ODROID handhelds (Advance, Super) prices remained relatively constant due to brands like Anbernic typically having better build quality.

Personally, I've tried both the ODROID Go Advance and the Anbernic equivalent RG351M. The build quality and controls on the Anbernic are definitely better. However, I ultimately stuck with the ODROID as it was cheap enough not to worry about damaging or losing.

There is obviously another option that people don't want to point out - start buying Russian gas again. The idea they're resisting to sell it is wrong. There's a whole pipeline lying idle ready to go the moment sanctions are lifted.

People are acting like this is a natural crisis. It's not, it's an artificial one created by political choices. This will lead to political extremism as voters realize they are freezing or bankrupted because politicians like "standing with Ukraine" more than they like their own citizens. Not every politician will be like that. Some will say, we send weapons and it's not our war anyway. Citizens first, foreigners second. And suddenly that will be mainstream politics.

Exactly, just like always before: only interconnects through oceans work because otherwise one government is entrusting its fate to another. In the best case that ends with countries paying tax to other countries' governments, in the worst case that ends in war.
> I feel like we have all the tools on the theory side and we just have to put them to use in real systems.

I'm glad that this process does happen (if slowly) in mainstream language design. IMH (and casual) opinion, up through the 80s mainstream programming languages were super ad hoc, but (again, IMHO) from the late 90s formalisms from computer science started to filter into the mainstream. I think this is in part because of the crisis of crappy code and a flood of new developers (before computers were so important, code quality was often not that important) so there was more impetus for "steering away from the bad path".

So for example CLU seemed like a purely academic (and restrictive) project to me back in the 80s, but ultimately spurred a lot of currently mainstream concepts like iterators and strong type systems. It just took 30 years (as did Liskov's well-deserved Turing). Lisp was scorned for its GC, anonymous lambda functions, dynamic type system, huge standard library and many other things, many of which are now table stakes today, 50 years later.

By the way, again IMHO, we lose something when language evolution increases guard rails. The Lisp environments of the 70s and 80s allowed lots of people to manufacture a rope and then hang themselves. But for others they were enormously powerful (e.g. I wrote the base of Cyc, a "blank sheet" reimplementation, in just a few weeks). The Smalltalk environment was like that too: infinitely malleable, designed for people who wanted to explore, and powerful enough to easily kill your machine. Nowadays languages with great expressiveness (e.g. C++, especially if you act as if its long ago "parent", C, doesn't exist) draw complaints that it's "too complicated" and "too hard".

> My pet theory: Something has always existed. There was no beginning. No origin. No first cause. No t=0. No start. It's always been there. What was before that? That. And that. And that. Always that.

Your pet theory is the view of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and the Roman Catholic Church. The mistake that people make (you can even see it in this thread), is that they start with some preconceived conception of God, with all it's baggage, and then they attempt argue for, or against, this concept.

The more productive approach is to recognize and acknowledge the necessary existence of a base reality. Then you simply assign the English word 'God' as a reference pointer to this base reality.

const God = (the one base reality that exists necessarily)
To echo other comments about "culture" here, I'd like to give you an example of how cultural alignment helps with certain things.

For years and years I've had this horrible experience interviewing. Go all the way to the final round of on-site interviews (the panelists, day-long, etc.) then get rejected and nobody will tell me why. It's awful, beyond disheartening, and expensive in that it forces me to waste 60+ hours per company for absolutely nothing in return.

So this time around when I started looking for a new employer, I took a slightly different approach. Just like you I'm applying only for jobs that I'm qualified for, but instead of agreeing to just any interview with any company I could get even a modicum of attention from, I changed my way of thinking to "I want to LIKE where I work and the people I work with, and I want to do something more than make some Ivy-league rich kid even richer; I want to have a positive impact on people's daily lives somehow."

That led me to refocus the kinds of firms I was interviewing with. Instead of fintech, devops, or some other silicon-valley elitist crap, I paid special attention to small/mid-sized employers, particularly those who work with charities, non-profits, the poor, unemployed, or the government.

I took some other interviews with the other kinds of aforementioned places, and instead of just sucking it up and desperately suffering an insane interview process as usual, I screened them this time around. I asked recruiters and hiring managers what their interview process was like, and in several cases I ended up telling them I wasn't interested and refused to suffer their insanity. I went so far as to tell one guy his process was elitist bullshit and I had more sane options elsewhere, so why would I bother with them?

Probably not the smartest move, but I was pissed off. Haha :-)

In the end I wound up getting an offer from a government contractor (US) for $40k a year more than I'm making now. Health benefits are roughly equivalent, the retirement plan is better, I get to do the kind of day-to-day work I enjoy (I don't get to do this where I'm at now) and best of all I get to build/improve systems that help people and their families. And that means a hell of a lot more than grinding a job I hate all so some fortune 500 exec can get his next massive bonus while i'm drastically underpaid vs. market rate.

Another little tidbit I've personally noticed is that every job I've ever been hired for had an ex-military person in the hiring process, or as the hiring manager (or their manager). Every single one. I come from a military family (US Navy), though I never served myself (my loss). So my next job hunt I'm going to look for opportunities/industries with ex-military people involved specifically, and I'd be surprised if my luck didn't improve.
