>It’s a real time visualisation. There is no loss of fidelity in time.

Unless you're going to spend multiple lifetimes watching it in "real time," there is unavoidable loss of fidelity here.

I don't mean fidelity in rate-of-time, but in duration-of-time. The total time available limits the duration fidelity, just as our eyeballs and screens limit the size fidelity.

Again it's less obvious (hence this confusion), but it's no less unavoidable.

>Noticing the important distortion in size is legitimate. It’s not really a criticism by the way. It’s simply... misleading.

Extrapolating real-time events into long stretches of time is also demonstrably misleading to humans. See: the history of scientific discoveries in geology.

Your point about "legitimacy" is right on. In data visualization the goal is finding the most useful (least misleading) transform of the data, not raw fidelity.

It's just that, for the purposes of lifetime collision probability estimation, rate-of-time fidelity is more misleading than duration-of-time fidelity (since you can't have both!).

>the fact these objects orbit a long time when considering collisions

Bingo. The "scariness" comes from (where else?) the collision probability, and our estimate thereof.

>The two don’t cancel out at all mathematically in any meaningful way.

I don't claim perfect cancellation with nothing left, just that it "tends" to cancel out (ie it pushes in the opposite direction), and that this factor was being ignored.
Saying they’re absolutely nothing like meat in form or nutritional value doesn’t make sense to me - the Whopper and Impossible Whopper are basically the same item. An impossible patty has very similar fat/protein content to a beef (80/20) patty but with more carbohydrates (beef having none).

Impossible patties seem a legitimate meat substitute for those who choose to purchase them.
Why fudge when you can just buy a mcdonalds as an investment and make clean money on top of it? Or real estate and hire the services of a property manager?
It's basic analog computing. However the 4-bit resolution is incredibly limiting. It's also not free since there will still be a setup and hold time you need to reach. Probably more power efficient but not free.
I can understand some random person listening to rage-bait media nutjobs and falling for something so clearly absurd, but it's genuinely depressing to see GOP congressmen and officials falling for it. Either they are fools who don't do even the most basic fact checking before publicly foaming at the mouth about nonsense, or they know full well that what they're saying is a lie and they are cool with lying to republican voters whenever it's politically convenient for them.

Either way, it's not a good sign for America or the voters who are either fine with being straight up lied to and manipulated or have made the choice to elect people who clearly have no business whatsoever being in a position of authority.

We really need to demand more from elected officials and party leaders. I don't think most people want idiots and liars in charge, but if there's zero accountability when they show themselves for what they are what else can we expect?
Subsidizing energy use during an energy shortage is good for winning elections, but counterproductive.
One could say the same about many conditions or qualities one might be born with, in fact many deaf people don’t consider their inability to hear as an impairment. There is a rich deaf culture and entire schools dedicated to deaf students.

However, that’s where you have to meet reality where it is, not where you want it to be. Mental illness typically begins not with the condition but when that condition impairs the individuals ability to operate within the parameters of the society they are a member of. When the condition impairs their ability to meet their own definition of success or happiness.

My son was not happy with the way other kids treated him, it hurt me to see him hurt. My son was not happy in school, he thought the teacher was mean and didn’t like him because she wouldn’t give him enough time to finish his school work, and would force him to switch tasks with the rest of the class. My son was not happy that his older sister often didn’t want to play with him.

Was my son doing something wrong?

He just wanted to play, he wanted to run the fastest, bounce the ball the most, just go crazy. But sometimes the other kids wanted a break, sometimes they wanted rules to the game, sometimes they wanted him to stop. He could get so worked up he couldn’t just “stop”.

In school he understood all the material, it was easy for him, he could read better than most of his peers, critical thinking tasks were easy for him. However, focus and time management were completely out of his grasp. The teacher wasn’t mean, she just had more material to teach him, they had to move in to the next topic.

When he would get excited, that excitement would become intensity, that intensity would alienate him from his peers and sometimes from his older sister. His biggest advocate and ardent defender would want space away from him.

Maybe the paradigm is flawed, but sometimes a train without brakes is just a train without brakes.
> runs into all the usual issues with planned economies.

Oh, and the war in Ukraine does not show the glaring weakness of 'Unplanned economy' and just choosing the cheapest supplier?

Subsidies and incentives do not a planned economy make.

Folks in the west seem to have taken the failure of hofhly corrupt planning system of USSR as an indication that they dont need to do any thinking or planning at all.
I’ve been reading a lot of Dr. Jason Fung’s work, which is based on this theory. Anecdotally, I very much concur that weight gain is ultimately a function of something hormonal, and likely related to insulin. Running on a calorie deficit has led to little or no weight loss for me, but a diet free of processed foods and intermittent fasting has been so far successful.

That said, this theory also often attempts to challenge the calorie consumption vs energy expenditure model entirely. I think it’s a bit reductionist to rely solely on calories burned vs calories eaten (or perhaps differently stated, I think the BMR model is over broadly applied and misses how complex your body’s metabolism is), but at the same time, one aspect of a less processed diet is how, after being weaned from the processed foods, it leads one to have fewer cravings, higher energy levels, and less hunger naturally.

So the model of calorie reduction (and conversely, overeating) still seems to have some applicability, it’s just that it’s probably wrong to tackle it with “eat fewer calories” as your first and primary goal. IMO, it’s more effective to flip that around.

Eat as much whole, unprocessed food as you like without counting calories, and your hormones will adjust your appetite and energy levels such that you will inherently eat fewer calories, crave less junk food, and have more energy. The end effect of a calorie deficit is probably similar, but one is sustainable hormonally, and the other is (imo) not.

One other way of stating it - instead of viewing obesity as an effect of overeating, perhaps we could view overeating as an effect of obesity.
Except ADHD is not even a fictional illness because it’s not an illness at all, it’s a disorder, it’s right there in the name.

To be the devils advocate, there have been plenty of researchers and psychotherapists in the recent decades lamenting ADHD as too broad a diagnosis, and it has indeed been scrutinized on multiple occasions as a convenient way to sell prescriptions.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and nerve pain, I’d take ADHD and depression over nerve pain any day, they’re not even in the same camp, and clearly not even in the same camp as cancer.

Does he answer the question “why qualia, of any kind, ever?”

> Dennett most certainly tackles the "hard problem", by convincingly arguing the problem is ill-defined and not a real problem.

No, like everyone else he admits defeat before it and tries to define it away. Whatever the relationship between qualia and physical reality, we experience them (I do. Dennett might not, haha) which requires some explanation. Once you have that everything else is easy, but there’s no reason for there to be an experience at all.

The article is worth a read. It's well written and has a few puns. Much better than most bland news articles.
Because the West in general is ideologically cohesive and generally follows a country which, alone, is a sole superpower.

China is never going to be able to outproduce the ~billion people in the west economically, and will never be able to have an overwhelming military edge over NATO sufficient to set up and for at least a decade enforce its own version of the liberal international order. The US was able to do so because, once the USSR fell, it was able to do things like invade Iraq and Afghanistan and play a hand in destroying Syria and Libya. Unless China gets such overwhelming advantage militarily, it's not going to be able to overpower NATO outside of Asia, and as a result won't be able to dictate an international order.
Google doesn’t hire an ordinary dev for one specific job, they allow internal transfers and other teams expect you to meet the bar for your title. They do more useless protobuf schlepping by hand than they should, but I’d be surprised if any job were 100% that and 0% algorithms.

Why do you call this a group? Why don't you say "one of our engineers did this"? I read the linked article [1] and that seems to be the accurate situation: not a group of people including one engineer, not one engineer at a time on a rotation, but literally one person. In what way is that a group?

I wonder whether anybody has developed a CLI browser that also has a JavaScript engine. I've seen plenty of TUIs that have modals, text line inputs, etc. You could probably get pretty far so that at least you can support more of the Web. At least to start with just using an engine to allow JavaScript to have control over HTML elements would be a start that would solve many of the issues with text browsers.
I wonder what it is that drives the human desire for meat. Meat substitutes seem to be trying to solve the environmental issues by taking advantage of that inbuilt natural desire, albeit imperfectly.

To me, David Chalmer is really overrated as a philosopher and so are his ideas about consciousness.

Essentially everything is an example of emergence and this is no different. Yes we absolutely do need to have words like "chair" as a level of abstraction. Yes we do need the word "consciousness" to talk about this quality/ability humans have which is so hard to describe but encompasses self awareness and experience (both also emergent).

Underlying all these emergent phenomenon is always what Chalmers brushes off as easy. What he'd probably describe as the world of matter/energy and quantum physics.

Here's a variation of a common thought experiment: Remove every atom from a person's brain, one by one until they are clinically dead. Somewhere along the way to death, that person is going to be right on the cusp of being a conscious human being. It wouldn't be a single moment. There would be a long period of removing atoms where observers could have endless debates about when the lights go out. Think of some very gradually going colorblind. Just like a gradient of color blindness, there would be a gradient of consciousness. From normal levels, to octopus levels (not literally), to newborn baby levels, bug level, etc until death.

This makes it clear to me that consciousness truly is emergent from matter/energy. There's no magic behind it, just mystery because we don't understand it.
So for example, laws around nuclear has changed so that the owners are now liable for any damages in case of a major accident.
This is total BS.

The fossil fuel industry has been sabotaging nuclear power for 60 years because, untill recently, it was the only threat to their profits.

I'm in the same boat. The fact is, you won't know for sure, ever. After insurance, the team and vibe are way more important to me than anything else. So I went on blind and Glassdoor to find optimal wlb, cross referenced with companies that have hiring freezes, and just started applying.

That sort of thinking is why the national debt is where it is.
Another fresh example:

I have Visa card with Euro (I know, strange combination) issued by Serbian bank.

I'm in Armenia right now, and street rate for Euro is 390-394 DAM per Euro (no commission).

My last transaction with this card is 5300 AMD / (13.65 + 0.14) Euro = 386.86... (Don't ask why this bank shows one transaction as two, it is something like sum at block correction at charge?). I can not withdraw cash in ATM in Armenia from this card at all, transactions are simply cancelled, so I can not say, which rate it is for ATM. But in Serbia I've payed 0.5% for cash withdrawal.
In the case of Free Pascal, may I remind you that there is a fully featured IDE called Lazarus…

That’s cool, but if you already use Neovim for other things, there’s a Free Pascal Language Server Protocol (LSP) server for it too [1]. You’ll many of the same features that Lazarus has, like code completion, diagnostics, etc. In fact, it’s the same LSP that’s available for VS Code [2] and it uses Lazarus as a backend.

Too much is being made about how hard Neovim is to configure; if you’re new to it or to Lua, just use LSP Zero [3] that takes care of all of the details of installing LSP, linters, etc.

“…during a legislative hearing last month in Tennessee, two Republican state lawmakers discussed the ‘growing crisis’ of public schools providing litter boxes for children who identify as cats, and claimed it’s happening across the state.”

How did it happen that a substantial section of the American public is so entirely divorced from their community’s reality that they could believe for a second that public schools in Tennessee(!) are doing this?

Wannabe politicians presumably have been tempted by outrageous lies forever, but to be effective they require an audience already primed to believe anything, preferably with no connection to everyday issues like what American public schools are actually like. Who are these people? Retirees that spend too much time on social media?
>>You want nuclear power. They support renewables. That's why you call them insane.

Nuclear and renewables are not mutually exclusive. The Swedish green party rejects nuclear. The parent commenter hasn't expressed a rejection of renewables.

Anyway, one can perceive a rejection of a particular energy source as "insane", especially if they are a green party who claim the rise in CO2 levels is the world's most pressing crisis.
In general at least the US hardly users power at night. Most power is to handle the heart during day in the summer which is when solar is most effective.

There's a lot to be said in favor of gridded designs. Not only do they default to a clean look, they bias you towards static sizing, which means spending effort on the defaults.

80x25 grids with monospaced characters are pretty arbitrary of course. But you can use grids on top of other systems, it just gets more fiddly.

edit: From the paper’s abstract:
”The rapid thermal modulation method to yield highly active electrochemical interfaces only during fast charging has important potential to realize both stability and fast charging of next-generation materials, including anodes like silicon and lithium metal.”
I guess "better luck next time" applies here.

As long as you can calculate a metric of importance for each of your rows, Postgres search rank seems to work plenty fine - we use Postgres FTS to power many of our search efforts and are replacing elasticsearch implementations because they’re harder to manage and no one seems to notice any quality differences. We just merely use a product of the importance metric and the ts_rank and that seems to do the trick.
Writing code means that your impact can be directly measured. Others can see quality, volume, and impact. If you stop writing code then you can't be measured. If your impact is measured by others, and you aren't bound by a team... then you can just float to where the wind is blowing. It's comparatively easy to surf in this manner.
You realize exactly the same argument hits nuclear, right? Current commercial reactors cannot be scaled to power the world, since there isn't enough sufficiently cheap uranium. Breeders or radical new uranium sources are needed, and neither have proof at scale.
Since you edited your comment while I was replying, I didn’t get to address your second paragraph.

You’re right, normies don’t run the world. Be different, be you, don’t let others tell you what to like or what not to like. I have told my children this and they know they have my unconditional support and acceptance. But don’t expect acceptance from everyone, our society is not so enlightened. Especially not children. Kids want to be liked, they want to be loved, they want the acceptance of their peers and those that they admire or look up to. Children can also be cruel to one another, not intentionally, they often have a lack of matured empathy. You have to be able to choose your battles.

At GitLab, we have a clearly defined organizational structure. Within that stucture, we have Product Groups[0] which are groups of people aligned around a specific category. The name "Single-Engineer Groups" reflects that this single engineer owns the category which they're focusing on.
