>That's obviously not exclusively true. Otherwise the sole purpose of the editor would be pure ideological shifts.

That wasn't the argument I've made. I didn't say every edit suggestion was based on ideological shifts. I said that (actually, merely summed up the author's experience) they discovered a tendency for editors to also (keyword: also) make suggestions that not only result in ideological shifts, but have an ideology/ethics and not "how best to serve the text" or aesthetics as the underlying drive.

And some those corrections can even coincide with a "better expression" edit.

To make the claim perfectly clear:

(1) editors make mainly "better expression" edits

(2) they also make a certain class of ideology/ethics edits. Some of them they make them explicitly with ideology in mind (e.g. they find situation X, that is acceptable to a French sensibility as yucky because of their culture), and other times unconsciously as mere not understanding the point of the text (but again, not because it doesn't have one, but because of conceptions rooted in their culture about what is included, not some "universal" needs of the text).

(3) they make enough of the latter that the writer can see a pattern - also shared/expressed by other writers of the same culture as him (different to the editor's culture)

(4) many people reading about those, can't even understand that the latter kind of edits are of that kind, not only because the change might be suble subtle and they can't understand what's at stake, but also because they share the same ethics/ideology (in short: culture) with the editor.
> But maybe it was cheaper than installing cables on land?

Way, way cheaper. Trenching or tunneling on the one hand, mostly just steaming forward whilst paying out cable on the other. The cable itself is more expensive for submarine use though, so there would be a point where cost crosses over.

Always caution someone who wants to follow in this research:

When somebody promotes a fast algorithm there is often a catch. In this case the issue is numerical stability. There is a theorem that states that any algorithm for n-by-n matrix-matrix multiplication that is componentwise forward stable (as good as it gets in this situation) much necessarily use n^3 scalar multiplications.
The authors will therefore waste their time if they carry out their plans and try to optimize for stability.
The standard algorithm has the nice property and no faster algorithm can have this property.
The question of fast matrix multiplication was raised recently on mathoverflow.net, see
https://mathoverflow.net/q/421304/110176
and the answers given there.
Great list.

Perhaps a stupid question - does that Wikipedia number include photos? If not, what kind of overhead does that add?
Current nuclear power runs the risk of a trillion dollar nuclear meltdown. This is something that solar and wind plants don't need to bother thinking about or mitigating, which makes the engineering vastly simpler.

And as we get better at working with molten salt engineering it probably makes more sense to apply it to solving the solar baseload problem and not nuclear:

Well, to criticize something people start (and, often, end) on concrete examples they've seen it in practice. And for "compile time code generation" C++ templates are an example they'd be familiar with (perhaps the canonical one, as more people know C++ than Lisp).

Yes, with a powerful union you can restrict entry so there are fewer workers. The workers who are allowed in get a better deal. The people who are kept out by the union suffer and the consumers suffer through lower production and higher prices.

That's surprising. I can understand mixing up memories; for example, remembering something you did but confusing the location of where it took place with that of another memory which took place in a different but similar location - But to actually recall doing something you've never done in a place that you've never been to seems like a whole different level.

I have a visual memory and so I always assumed that other people also relied on visual imaginary to recall past events. Now I'm wondering how can someone possibly recall any past event if they can't visualize it happening. Is the past just words and sentences that pop into your mind? How can you verify the authenticity of a memory from mere words? How can you be fully confident in your own memories if you can't scrutinize them from different angles in various levels of detail?
With STAR, it's harder to understand the affect of your vote.

RCV means: "I'd like this candidate, but if he can't win, I'll take this candidate instead." (And so on down the list of candidates.) Most people understand the concept of runoff elections. And, it's very very obvious that adding second and third choice candidates will never make your first choice less likely to win (on your individual ballot).

Under STAR, the effect of your ratings are less clear.
Also sounds like symptoms of boredom :P

Honestly I’ve been longing for a linear workday. Before kids, and before the pandemic, I used to work 9-6 and I had the most fantastic work life balance. Distance running, rock climbing, etc.

Now I have “flexible” work hours, and it’s all cramming in whatever I can late at night so that I can accommodate the schedule of kids’ daycare. If we didn’t have flex hours, one of my wife or I would have no choice but to quit to manage the kids, and we’d have less income but probably be happier. But since we have the choice it’s all too tempting to keep burning the candle at both ends and the middle.
> US has attacked numerous sovereign countries, and we did nothing against them and even helped them. Numerous european/nato countries have solders occupying sovereign countries even today (even my shitty small one has soldiers in syria now), and noone cares about those countries, those people and those agressors (well.. us, agressors).

> Why are we acting differently now? I mean.. I know.. "it's ok when we do it", but atleast stop with the bullshit about sovereing states and lives, because we didn't care when we did the occupations and we still don't care while we're occupying those countries now.

Again, what on earth does any of this have to do with anything?

> yes, and iraq has weapons of mass destruction.

Iraq is what it looks like when the US decides they're going to invade and manufactures an excuse. The WMD claim was bullshit, everyone at the time knew it was bullshit, anyone whose opinion was worth anything was calling them out on their bullshit. That's not evidence that the core claims about Kosovo (which are disputed by, at most, a handful of cranks) were false, it's evidence of the opposite; if the reason that even people critical of the US invasion agreed that the ethnic cleansing was happening is because of some all-powerful propaganda conspiracy, how come that all-powerful propaganda conspiracy wasn't deployed to the same effect for the invasion of Iraq?

I agree - the twitter thread didn't really have any details. How many EVs are we talking about? I searched around a bit but couldn't find any other details.

The interesting thing to me is the whole idea that these battery packs (whether in an EV or as power wall or as a utility level reserve) can catch on fire if they get wet enough and that leads to the right kind of corrosion. It seems like this has implications for how power walls and utility reserve banks are protected from flooding.
The trick is going to be doing this cheaply. The cost gap with renewables is close 2 orders of magnitude already and actually widening. Reducing the safety cost is nice of course. Which is what this does. But is it enough? I don't think so.

There are a lot of hidden cost with nuclear. One of them is security. You say micro reactor, I say dirty bomb waiting to happen. Nuclear reactors of any kind need expensive security. The most cost effective way to do that is to locate them in a handful of places that are easy to keep secured. So, the notion of distributing tens, or hundreds, of thousands of micro reactors all over the place kind of goes against that. It would be a security nightmare. From a cost point of view this is disastrous. And it only takes 1 incident for this whole industry to grind to a halt and get bogged down in lengthy and expensive security related bureaucracy and hassle.

So, the more like scenario is that they start replacing conventional reactors as a somewhat cheaper alternative. Instead of hosting 1 or 2 of those, we'll have dozens/hundreds of them on a single site. But that site will still be a nuclear plant with all the security and safety procedures that come with those. And those won't be free. So, it will make building those sites more cost effective than they are right now. But it will still be expensive.

It's very hard to compete with wind, solar, and batteries on cost. They need very little security and you can just install them wherever. Like in your house. There are now consumer grade products that allow you to more or less go off grid. It's cheap enough that people are starting to do this to reduce their overall cost. And cost keeps on dropping. Cheaper panels, cheaper batteries, less exotic materials, easier mass production, etc.

I had one of these and wore it every day. Interestingly, one day I wore it to work and my co worker said it was a favorite amongst terrorists. He said that Bin Laden, himself, sports one. I thought he was joking, but later that afternoon, I did some quick research online. He was not lying. Apparently, it is a favorite because it is extremely cheap and easily modifiable to set off remote bombs.

What is “CYA aspect” ?
Mainly, the reason why Bash's "set -e" doesn't do what you expected is this.

set -e comes from the POSIX shell language, descended from the Bourne Shell.

The examples you're using use obscure Bash features. For instance let turns an arithmetic result into a termination status, where 0 is fail (opposite to the POSIX convention and all).

set -e works to the extent that your commands have a sane termination status, which they generally do if they are standard built-ins or well-behaved utilities.

One Bash feature improves the effectiveness of set -e (or exit status testing in general). In a command pipe:

a | b | .. | z

the termination status is obtained from z. That's standard. If z indicates success, the pipeline is successful no matter how a through y terminate. Bash has a "pipefail" option to help with this.

> 1 - Children under 13 are way, way different than a 16 year old. They both do 'stupid' things, of course. Middle school age children are probably most susceptible to about everything.

"Stupidity" is, in most cases, inexperience. By withholding their ability to experience the Internet until their teens, your children be worse off than less intelligent teens with years more experience in navigating the web. They'll likely ending up repeating the same mistakes at 13 that they're cohorts learned from at 5. All you're doing is delaying the inevitable.

> 2 - Kids don't need the internet to become responsible adults. We have thousands of years of examples proving as much. I think it is perfectly reasonable to raise kids with heavily restricted internet, or no internet at all if the parents so choose.

That's become less true as more institutions and information sources move online. Sure, parents have the right to heavily restrict what information their kids learn in their homes. That's what the religiously fanatical do when they homeschool their kids. But the outcome of that is often one where children lack the ability to be self-sufficient adults at the appropriate age. Hiding what people on the Internet do or say won't save your kids, only stifle them.
It's an odd point but I believe they referring to energy density of fission vs fossil.
True story: I was once almost kicked out of BYU for attempting to sneak into one of the tunnels under the campus.

A couple of years later, a professor actually invited me through the door I had tried to enter. It turned out that what was inside was a gymnasium-sized physics lab that was directly under one of the larger quads on campus. The major feature of which was a particle accelerator. That fact might have been known among the physics majors, I don't know, but it certainly was not common knowledge among the student body at large.

There was another "secret" door on campus, this one into the hill that the Honors Department main building sat on. That door led to the nuclear reactor. Nobody ever tried to get in there.

For a private, mostly undergraduate university, it had a surprisingly active nuclear physics research group.
Meh. I read about neural networking in the 1990s, and it has been around as a concept from the 1940s.

in 1943, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts created a computational model for neural networks. One approach focused on biological processes while the other focused on the application of neural networks to artificial intelligence.

The author stated that a 3 sentence passage would not be comprehensible 20 years ago, but not true. Anyone could understand what they were saying from the context.

Code that writes code, which he is essentially talking about, heck, I wrote one when I was a freshman back in 1980. Because code that writes code is what it all boils down to. Using fancy words might get someone a job promotion for using the current buzzwords, but that's just buzzwords.

Color me not impressed.
I like casio, I like the idea of a workmans watch, few complications, reasonable price, tough as nails. For most a phone covers their timekeeping needs, which is fair, but a watch is far more convent.(if you think about it the right way a phone is basically a pocket watch... now I want a smart phone in a pocket watch form factor)

To that end I picked up a dw-5600 square g-shock a few years ago. I gave it a bit of thought and went with the battery model over the solar model(they are almost the same price) because as far as I can tell the solar model still has a battery in it but the battery is considered non replaceable, I would rather just replace the battery every seven years. I picked up an adapter for a one piece nylon strap(sometimes called a nato or zulu strap, there might be a difference but I can't tell what it is) mainly because I like the nylon straps more than the resin ones.

So far it has been a good serviceable watch, I shall now do it a disservice and enumerate what I don't like about it.

1. the buttons are too small, especially "adjust" which on this model is inset further.

2. the strap lugs are very small(16 mm), this necessitate some sort of adapter if you want a solid nylon strap(usually 24 mm).
It is still in beta.
Policy or not, intent was clearly declared. Not vague statements, but specific actions including a direct callout to the secretary of HHS to initiate the rescheduling review.

Obviously we can only wait to see what comes next, but I'm not sure what more you'd want? The review process has to occur, so there's no additional "policy" to be had at the moment. Obviously there's a possibility that rescheduling doesn't happen as a result of that review, but that hardly seems likely given the current political and social climate around marijuana.

Seemed like a pretty straight-forward way to communicate "and this is step 2, which is a work in progress".

Anyone remember the Clipper Chip[1]? CBDC's are literally that but for finance.

Being able to see who is sending money to whom is incredible valuable (even without the ability to manipulate that money, which is worth even more) - remember how much the US intelligence community values metadata.

Sure, the US government has a large amount of insight into financial transactions now, but there's a difference between "a lot" and "literally all of it".

People here seem quite comfortable with the idea of giving their own government the Clipper Chip for finance - are they so quick to forget the lessons of history?

This is a great way to express support for Ukraine. It is also aimed initially at foreign IT businesses.
A much better, earlier, overview of the extent of the aims and opportunities are found at "Government green lights e-residency in Ukraine" [0]

""During a full-scale war, it is very important to attract additional funds to the budget and support the country's economy. The e-resident status will allow foreigners to register a business in a few clicks, develop it remotely and pay taxes in Ukraine on favorable terms (5% of income, 15% of the amount, which exceeds the limit)", said the minister.

According to Fedorov, the Ministry of Digitization team is already working on the development of a web version and a mobile application using digital signature cloud technologies. This will allow entrepreneurs to register or open a bank account quickly and conveniently, through a browser or smartphone, without papers and complex bureaucratic procedures"

Really interesting question. I'm answering from the perspective of a civilization ending or resetting event, rather than say, a disaster like a hurricane.

Wikipedia to start. But IMO that's not good enough as it's not very discoverable, but makes a great 'for further reading.'

Definitely world history content. Lack of written record is probably one of the most frustrating aspects when studying past civilizations.

Definitely books and such on planting, crop rotations, problems, etc.

Books on maths, physics, geography, biology, chemistry, etc. Probably at least 101 level.

Once I covered those bases, I'd probably fill the rest with video, music, and photo content, though I'm not sure yet of what or how much

Bear in mind that if you plan to recharge from the grid when the power is on, that's just going to exacerbate the problem of gas shortages.

In California or Texas you could recharge with solar, but in Europe, solar during winter is basically useless. I'm at 54N and in June my system generates 1400kWh, in December if I get 90kWh I'll be lucky.
