> Is it the redshift receding into infinite wavelengths?

On further thought, things redshifting away into the blackness just denote the edge of the visible universe, don't they? Since that's where light has trouble ever catching up with us, instead of being carried away by the expansion. So this isn't quite related to the universe being infinite or not.
So far as I know three suicides are popularly thought to be connected to KiwiFarms. The only one I've looked into at all, the suicide of the emulator developer "near", seems pretty flimsy to me.

For one, the KiwiFarms thread on near, prior to his suicide, is pretty tame. There aren't that many comments and the comments that are there aren't so bad - at worst they accuse Near of pedophilia because he likes/defends drawn illustrations of child pornography. Near's real identity is not known so the thread doesn't even stalk him or intrude into his real life.

Near emailed KiwiFarms farms asking for the thread to be removed and said he would commit suicide if it wasn't but would pay if the thread was removed. The site owner was researching whether it would be legal to accept money when Near pupportedly killed himself - 12 hours after the initial exchange.

It's also not clear that any suicide actually took place. As I mentioned, no real identity is known so there is also no real official confirmation. All of the "confirmation" that appears to exist is an anonymous person on Twitter who is acting on behalf of someone who talked to the Japanese police - and apparently the police confirmed the suicide. A thread on KiwiFarms investigates the idea that Near faked his suicide, showing that Japan's vital statistics, a government page that reports, among other things, the deaths of foreigners in Japan has no corresponding record for Near's death. The KiwiFarms thread also points out that Near had threatened (or maybe pretended to, can't remember) to commit suicide before. There is additional evidence that thread reviews that I've forgotten.

I haven't looked into the other two suicides - but from everything I have seen much of what is said of KiwiFarms is overblown. It's true they use racist slurs and say mean things - but the idea that they are some murderous swatting suicide cult seems vastly overblown to me.
> The baseload myth again. Can we please just stop it?

We'll stop it the moment it stops being reality.

> Yes we need overcapacity or storage,

Yes, yes we do. And I've yet to see anyone calculate how much we need of that overcapacity.

When there's no sun, the base load of solar is zero. When there's no wind, the base load of wind is zero.

Worse than that is that it's not an either/or situation. It's not an "either 100% or 0%". It's any value in between. If your wind farm is generating just 20%, it's almost as bad as 0%.

So, you need to have overcapacity for solar (to compensate for no wind). And and overcapacity for wind (to compensate for no solar). And an overcapacity of batteries to compensate for both.

And literally no one is talking about this, and just brushes this aside with "yeah no it's fine".

> This summer France had 40%-100% (the numbers differ I saw 40% in writing but 100% on a French TV channel) of their nuclear power plants down due to heat and mainteance.

Key word: maintenance. This is something you can plan well beforehand (unlike the drops in wind and solar).

Will there be screwups in planning? Yes. Nuclear reactors being down due to heat is not too dissimilar to a hypothetical 10GW battery storage melting from the same heat

> > - neither solar nor wind can be load-following

> Yes and neither can nuclear in any economically feasible way.

I don't think you understand what load following means

> it is much cheaper to build double the amount of renewables than to use nuclear running on some fraction of it's capacity.

Double amount compared to what? Compared to what we have now or compared to the number required to cover all our rising energy needs?

> On back roads, the impatience probably has something to do with "they don't need to be here"

The classic country lanes in the UK are 1.5 cars wide at most. Far too narrow to overtake a cyclist without their help and good visibility (which you typically do not have). I am trying to go from a village to a town to buy some groceries, and instead of doing a comfortable 40 up the hill, I'm doing 5. Because three cyclists are in the way and have no interest in allowing anyone to get past. These will not be the last set I encounter. Turns out the Saturday I have off to go food shopping etc is when all the cyclists like to go out and enjoy themselves.

Side note: Horses have a similar impact, but always ensure people are blocked for the minimal amount of time possible. Similar with walkers. Cyclists rarely do anything at all to allow people past in my experience.

Anyway, I don't get angry or aggressive. But it is frustrating especially when the cyclists using these roads are not local and act like the cars who have to use them to get around in their local area are the baddies.
> 10 years ago you would have bought a family van.

Fellow European here, we don't have kids but we were thinking at maybe getting a second dog, which made me look for a possible car replacement (we now have a 15+ year-old small hatchback). After some searching and calculating I found out that the "usefulness" of cars for my purported task (to transport two dogs in the back) can be summarized like this (in decreasing order): vans -> station wagons/estates -> SUVs/CUVs.

Unfortunately vans are on their out, I can't really understand the reason why (the VW Sharan will cease production this year, Ford C-Max ceased production back in 2019 etc), station wagons are also not feeling good, almost every car company is betting the house on SUVs/CUVs, which is a trend I don't like at all, because you get to pay more money for less utility.
While I generally agree with your sentiment, I think the health insurance example is not a good one. There are several factors that are wrong with it, for one people with insurance have advantages over people without, so you are creating a system where your access to healthcare depends on how much you earn. Secondly, it essentially creates an artifical market for insurances with pretty much guaranteed customers, the insurances don't even need to offer that much over the state system because it's cheaper anyway. If you want have the universal health care not be as loaded, simply raise income/wealth/other taxes and use that funding to prop up health care. That's a much fairer solution.
I'd rather argue the opposite since XOR gates in hardware with more than 2 inputs also implement sum-modulo-2. Therefore I'd prefer the exactly-1-of-N-inputs-is-true (N > 1) function to be named differently.
It's not analogous because a middle aged man doing a workout in a supermarket is using the space in a way it's not supposed to be used. Riding a bicycle on a road is how you're supposed to use the road. This is where your analogy fails.

Your problem seems to be entitlement, not impatience btw. You feel entitled to feel people should use the road your way. That realization might help you fixing the issue.

When science does not serve people, and merely the interests of those with capital, it is natural that some people will want to reject it. Though, ideally we can find a middle ground.

I guess there are many causes for anti-science sentiment, but interestingly, part of it comes from being "too objective". Positivism often fails at trying find truth that's useful/empowering to individual people, even if it is good at mastering nature/growing economies.

We're seeing history repeat itself. Overabundance of positivist rationality at the cost of human subjectivity is precisely what the Counter-Enlightenment and Romantics were reacting to. It's also what sociologists such as Max Weber spoke about, and Marx, and especially the philosophers of the Frankfurt School (e.g. Adorno, Horkheimer, and Marcuse).

Let's hope we can find a new Romanticism, to come to value the subjective in addition to the objective as a society, to create science like literature that's actually empowering to people. Otherwise, radical rejections of objective truth—e.g. the Flat Earth movement, fascism—are natural, albeit deluded responses, as has been seen historically.

Could you elaborate on the quirks regarding stateful apps?
I have used it, and like it. But! It is no easier than a class based CSS framework. Instead of guess the classname you play guess the element name. And by attaching style to elements 1-1 you can end up with something less semantic than using a regular CSS framework or a utility based CSS framework.

I've seen that too. But all praise capitalism, the market provides. There's also a new towing company here that reflects the, shall we say, shifting dynamic between residents and motorists.

A neighbour called them when a so-and-so parked so closely to our entrance that I couldn't get the bike trailer out. The towing company took a few photos, towed, and sent the so-and-so an invoice for €600, which he eventually paid, but not without telling my neighbour what he thought.

€600 is steep. They must expect to pay for court cases fairly often. Makes sense, parking like that was very rare 20 years ago.

>Argentina is the poster child for what happens when a country's leaders insist on "a strong currency" above all else. In Argentina's case, by pegging to the US dollar.

Nonsense. Argentina's currency was only pegged to the dollar for about a decade. What killed the currency and caused endless devaluations was and is poor fiscal and monetary policy before, during, and after the peg.

> It's really very strange how awful a lot of cutlery is in terms of ergonomics

We've got the Amefa Newton[1] cutlery which I think is a good example of design over practicality. It's excellent quality,8mm forged 18/10 stainless steel, and a beautifully simplistic design which feels like it will [unfortunately] last for ever.

Having used it regularly, I'm sure they called it Newton because it continually reminds you of gravity each and every time you use it. They are so badly balanced, particularly the knives, having far too much weight in the handle. It's not too much of a problem using then, for they do work very well, but when clearing the table it's not uncommon for some pieces to fall off the plate handle first.

i am sorry you had that experience and that you chose to be by yourself instead. i can get where you are coming from. i left my home country for similar reasons. but i never gave up on community. along the way i met wonderful people and i realized that i can find a community by contributing to one.

community is not a fiction promoted by modern society. quite the contrary. community was always quite important throughout history. in fact the idea that we don't need community is a modern fiction. sure, some individuals may feel comfortable to live as hermits, and maybe you are one of them, but then you'd certainly be a rare exception, because most people can't go through life without having friends and a welcoming community around them.

Yes, OR-tools has a lot of solvers. The solver I talked about is the CP-SAT solver. It's described (https://www.minizinc.org/challenge2022/description_or-tools_... ) as:

"""
CP-SAT is a discrete optimization solver built on top of a SAT engine. It is available within the OR-Tools open-source repository (website: https://developers.google.com/optimization, github repository: https://github.com/google/or-tools). It has won multiple gold medals at the MiniZinc challenge (https://www.minizinc.org/challenge.html) since its debut in 2017.

The CP-SAT solver is architectured around five components:
The base layer is a clause learning SAT solver.
Above the SAT layer sits a Constraint Programming (CP) module with Boolean, integer and interval variables, and standard integer, scheduling and routing constraints.
Alongside the CP solver, a simplex provides a global linear relaxation. Its integration with the CP and SAT layers enable the CP-SAT solver to solve MIP problems with the same techniques as (commercial) MIP solvers: relaxation, cuts, heuristics and duality based techniques.
Both the CP and MIP modules rely on a unified protobuf representation of the model that can serve as a file format, as well as an intermediate representation of the model during all phases of the solve (input format, presolved model, LNS fragment).
On top, the search layer implements a robust information-sharing portfolio of specialized workers that offers both good and fast solutions, and superior optimality proving capabilities.

This work was presented at the CPAIOR 2020 masterclass. The recording is available on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmy1ddn4cyw).

Ah, fair enough, that makes sense. You're right, if we posit that ABS is purely to prevent slipping, that would imply that it always goes for maximum braking.

> I don’t see how higher CoG would be a factor there.

Could be that the "additional logic" (whether we call it ABS or something else) aims to keep certain values (such as longitudinal or lateral acceleration) within bounds (thus releasing brake pressure when approaching those bounds), and those bounds are tighter with higher CoG.

I think in this thread we are not discussing people who ride bikes on trails, but people who use them on public roads to get from point A to B, e.g. home to work and back again. I don't care how many cars you have parked in your garage. If you take the bike one day a year, then you're doing better in terms of the environment than someone who does it zero times a year.

Also bicycles are vehicles, by any definition.

This is exactly what taxation, regulation, laws, and the like are designed to solve (and what Nash spent a lot of effort studying [0]).

Buying and using a car is a great example of a "finite non-cooperative game". Everyone's self-interest in not dying drives them to make decisions that increase the chance of dying for everyone else. Everyone against everyone. Individual gains result in an aggregate loss for the whole population (everyone drives increasingly larger cars, dangerous to more and more people, i.e. cyclists, pedestrians, other cars, etc.)

The fact that the US government simply just allowed a cave-man-esque non-coop game to take hold is the most shocking aspect of all this, particularly when there is an entire field dedicated to studying this kind of phenomenon.

As someone who doesn't live in the US, how did it get like this? In my own country, higher taxes for larger vehicles and smaller roads luckily exist.

I disagree with the other comments that mention taxation as a solution, as that's just, obviously, egregiously, an awful tragedy of the commons.

I agree that there are times when you don't need absolute accuracy. I have plastic calipers myself for crappy jobs. But I don't say that they're accurate to 0.1mm because they're not.

> Also, no, 50C is not a very conservative range for that purpose, that would be ±5C around the steady 20C temperature inside the average house.

That is true until you realize many people keep their tools in the garage or in a cellar or an attic, where the temperature can go anywhere between -20C and +45C. Then you measure a small nut or screw as often used in, exactly, home appliances, and between the thermal coefficient, slop, bad geometry, and an inaccurate digital potentiometer you arrive at 4.8mm instead of 4.1mm and you order a 5mm replacement for your 4mm screw and have to wait another week or two after you figure that out. I've had this exact story happen to me in the past, and my tools were stored in, as you say, "±5C around the steady 20C temperature inside the average house" and not out of plastic - just still not accurate enough.

Is a much more worrying link that should be obligatory when he comes up.

Curtis is heavily linked to the "Living Marxism" crowd, who started as the journal of the "Revolutionary Communist Party" in the UK which mutated into "Spiked" the extreme right-wing libertarian clique that pop up everywhere in the UK press. And appear to be some kind of personality cult around a guy who co-wites some of the documentaries.

> George Monbiot has elicited an admission from the managing editor of Spiked Online that they have received $300,000 in funding from the Charles Koch Foundation,[11] a fact not declared on their website.[12] He has accused Furedi of overseeing extreme right-wing libertarian campaigns "against gun control, against banning tobacco advertising and child pornography, and in favour of global warming, human cloning and freedom for corporations". Monbiot also accuses him of leading entryism of ex-RCPers into "key roles in the formal infrastructure of public communication used by the science and medical establishment", to pursue an agenda in favour of genetic engineering.[13] The journalist Nick Cohen has described the RCP as a "weird cult"[14] whose Leninist discipline, disruptive behaviour and selfish publicity-seeking have remained unaltered during the various tactical shifts in the face it presents to the wider world.[15]

It's a variant of "with great power comes great responsibility". The driver has taken non-trivial training to get their drives license[1], as they're in command of a vehicle which can inflict great damage to others easily. Thus there is a significant asymmetry between the driver and the pedestrian.

If a pedestrian suddenly steps out right in front of your car in broad daylight, in an area where it's not reasonable to expect them to (ie no crosswalk, not next to a school etc), then, as long as you weren't speeding or using your mobile phone, you'd most likely be fine.
However if the pedestrian had for example been acting erratically just before, then the police might argue you should have taken more care.

Note that the paragraph I quoted applies to anyone venturing in traffic, including pedestrians. However, given the mentioned asymmetry, it usually falls down to the driver to be the more responsible party.
