>Worrying about how long exactly it takes for $irresponsible_person to make it slightly worse by reducing the barrier to access even further is, in my opinion, missing the point

I disagree with the idea that putting restrictions in place shouldn't be done because 'the problem exists'. The problem exists but that doesn't mean measures can't be taken to keep it manageable. I don't think the majority of people are in your intended demographic of wanting to stop the problem. Most just want to prevent exacerbating the problem.

This is good advice if we ignore the headline completely.

If you want to see what I mean, record yourself talking sometime, a few minutes is fine. Make a transcript, and read that. Ideally, if there's someone around who can do the favor, have that someone edit the errors in transcription and punctuation first, so that part isn't conflated.

It's not going to look anything like good conversational writing.

The flip side is that someone setting out to "write like they speak" will instead succeed in writing in a conversational style, if anything. When that's good is another question.

Shouldn't the logic here be the reverse? If we want to censor Kiwifarms, we should justify it as heinously evil and an active threat to people's lives or something. Many articles claim they are, but at least according to other posters here end up being a case of circular citations with little in the way of actual examples of Kiwifarms content that'd convince people that maybe it's enough of a pile of garbage to toss out of society.

I know it's definitely not a pleasant place - a friend recently dug out some posts from there on what archives he managed to find, and said it was basically a sneer club site. But a sneer club in a small godforsaken corner of the net is pretty far from actively harassing people to suicide.

I keep seeing these 'JAMstack' sites are the new hot thing when a static wordpress site is enough and easier to update than 'JAMstack' sites, in reality these sites are just glorified HTML under a CDN.

I don't see the benefit of JAMstack when you can just place a static WP site under a CDN like Cloudflare and have all the benefits of WP and a CMS to edit content.

At least with Cloudflare they are more than just a CDN, others like Netlify and Vercel seem to be both over engineered and overpriced for what they do.

No, it wasn't. The straw purchase was, and Rittenhouse's friend got in trouble for making it. That, in turn, lead to him testifying against Rittenhouse as part of a plea agreement. Rittenhouse didn't actually take possession of the gun until he was 18 and did not face any charges related to the purchase of the gun, which he had destroyed after trial to avoid it becoming a symbol.

There was also a separate charge against Rittenhouse for carrying it that was dismissed at the very end of the trial due to a confusingly-worded law. But Rittenhouse wasn't carrying anything that counted as a short-barreled rifle. The judge ruled that the law did not apply to what Rittenhouse did, since the prosecutor did not allege any facts that the jury could have agreed with that would have made him guilty. The prosecutor was apparently going by the caption of the law (which says something about guns held by someone under 18) but that has no legal effect and the judge admonished him for trying to pull a fast one again.

This was covered right before it went to the jury as I recall, if you want to look up videos of how it went down at trial.

I think the problem is that too many critics have a voice. There’s a cadre of dedicated naysayers for every new piece of technology that comes out that creates too much noise to get too excited about. Couple this with technology being used for environmental destruction, racist pursuits and job displacement and you have a generation that’s too jaded to get excited.

> Now, how expensive - and how big - would an equivalent solar array be? Don't forget maintenance costs, including technicians.

For an easy point of comparison, there actually is an 18MW solar array under development in western Australia as part of phase 0 of the Yuri project [0] (the goal of that project is to produce hydrogen for ammonia production via electrolysis instead of steam methane reforming). This is apparently around 23 hectares (57 acres), at a cost of A$24-33m in capital expenditures, and A$0.5-1.5m in annual operating expenses [1].

For comparison, let's suppose diesel is A$2 / liter. 26,000 liters a day, for 365 days a year, is A$19 million, every year, just for fuel costs. Wait, you might argue, fuel prices are inflated this year. Okay, historically it might have been closer to A$1/L, for about A$10 million per year. Breakeven is therefore somewhere in the ballpark of 2-4 years, which is absurdly low for a project of this scale.

[1] Page 28-29 of https://arena.gov.au/assets/2020/11/engie-yara-renewable-hyd... -- capex estimate is A$70m. If you remove the capex of building the H2 plant, you're left with A$33 million. If you just consider the PV component (34% of the overall capex estimate), then you get A$24m.
> If I was forced to have an audience for ten years I’d just be saying crazy shit all the time.

There is an alternative. Just blog without an audience. Don't keep any web server logs (or don't look at them). Delete the analytics.

The fact that someone theoretically could be reading my blog is enough motivation to write something understandable (rather than just scrawling some gibberish in a notebook), but whether that audience actually exists or not doesn't matter to me.

There's no inherent need to write regularly if you feel you have nothing new to say, is there?
When I was learning origami, before the internet was available, the few books I could find beyond basic ones in English were all entirely in Japanese. You can get very far with just the diagrams even for complicated geometries, though it takes a good amount of trial and error and effort.

It's not, I think, quite what you mean, but when you refer to "strange affectations" of writers (nicely put) I was reminded of this:

"Words resemble fish in that some specialist ones can survive only in a kind of reef, where their curious shapes and usages are protected from the hurly-burly of the open sea. ‘Rumpus’ and ‘fracas’ are found only in certain newspapers (in much the same way that ‘beverages’ are found only in certain menus). They are never used in normal conversation." - Terry Pratchett, 'The Truth'

> Powering cargo planes seems like a niche market that would be suitable

FTA: Most designs aim to produce a beam kilometers wide so that any spacecraft, plane, person, or bird that strays into it only receives a tiny—hopefully harmless—portion of the 2-gigawatt transmission

2 GW on a _single_ km² is 2kW per m², about twice what solar power provides. “Kilometers wide” could easily mean 10km², or 200W/m².

⇒ it will be difficult to get the power density to power an airplane, even if it’s only for flying at height.

Also extremely expensive. Going from Poland to Switzerland is 2-3 times cheaper by car than by train (counting 2 adult pax), and I drive a hungry car and am counting current gas prices. I thought trains were supposed to be super-efficient or something.

It also takes much more time even in the perfect case. And since trains are frequently delayed, and trains of different companies don't wait for each other, sometimes you sleep in front of the railway station (the police will expell you from the building if you sleep there, and they close it for the night...).

I really like trains - I mean the physical thing itself. I also like the concept of train travel in theory. But I fucking hate everything about trains in actual reality.

I tried to go carless for 2 years, but it's impossible even at the place with supposedly best public transit infrastructure of the world. It's kinda doable if you have a lot of time to waste, don't need to be somewhere on time, have a lot of money to spare, don't travel a lot and only travel between major cities or inside a small region. It was okay-ish when I was a student. Any other case, like 2 working adults with no time to spare trying to visit family and then go back to work - impossible.
The most successful writers in the world do not do this, and many who do are not successful. Writing has to be much more precise than speech. Speech has tone, cadence, and body language. Writing does not, so you need to be articulate to get the the desired message and intent across and most importantly avoid confusion. And it has to be interesting enough for the reader to hopefully not give up too soon. This is much harder than speech.

Isn't that a bit like saying that there is no such thing as Asians? Both are still used for admissions it seems.

I don't think WASPs have any influence on the admissions policy at Harvard and I have seen no evidence that they are over-represented there. Others have pointed out who are. I could go on about US history, immigration, and WASPs but its better to be brief. I think they lost their power. That better fits the data than the theory that WASPs control Harvard and despite being racist and anti-semitic seem to prefer every racial group but their own. It's really just a racist trope at this point that untalented, privileged, and elitist WASPs are the villain.
Not an optics expert, what kind of problems can a multitude of more ordinary lenses and software techniques solve? I know there are astronomy cameras that are basically Canon SLR:s with off the shelf lenses. And the signal can be recorded and the resulting bitstreams can be combined in software.

I would assume for example surveys work well for a lot of cheap optics+cameras, but for large magnification or faint objects you need one big mirror or lens?

“What actually happens in an experiment with electrons is kind of interesting. Since photons are massless they are easy to excite if they have long wavelength and hence low energy. Whenever an electron gets accelerated many "soft" (i.e., long wavelength) photons get emitted. But if the acceleration is weak, the photons have such long wavelength that they provide little information concerning which path, and interference is possible.

It is the same with gravitons. Except the probability of emitting a "hard" graviton (with short enough wavelength to distinguish the paths) is far, far smaller than for photons, and therefore gravitational decoherence is extremely weak.”

To be picky, Linux 0.02 was late 1991, I don't think that it supported anything between 1989 and 1991, and even later, until 1.0 in 1994, you couldn't do much in Linux.

Still, 2026-1994 is 32 years, and I would gladly settle for mobile device support 1/3 of that (ten years).
Three core mediums that transfer human knowledge:

- spoken words (live events, political speeches, etc)

- recorded words

- written words (blogs, books, papers)

Spoken words have the highest activation energy. Hence, the value that we expect is very very high. There is commitment of time.

Recorded words are speeches, discussions, lectures. Lower than listening something live.

Written words have the highest volume in today’s society. Also the lowest activation energy for the writer.

If written words are not edited, thought through, the increasing volume adds to the noise rather than a better signal.

I didn't say exactly that degree holders benefit from EU membership. Although they are more likely to want to move abroad than non-degree holders the numbers of Brits who do so are just overwhelmingly trivial. It's just not a factor in Brexit either way; freedom of movement was always more of a theoretical issue for wealthy Brits and a practical one for those in the trades due to competition from the east.

There were actually lots of economic arguments for leaving the EU, that's one of the primary themes I remember about the debates. EU being overly regulation happy, unconcerned with growth, protectionist, etc. But I noticed that this is a common pattern with the pro-EU people. They don't say, "I disagree with argument X" they aren't aware the arguments existed at all.

Discrimination is an interesting thing, look hard enough and you'll find it whether or not it exists.

An alternate explanation for what they are finding in that paper: The creators of the test favor questions whose response correlates well with how the person scores overall. A question that low-scoring people are more likely to get right is a bad question.

What the researchers should have done is looked at racial differences in answering questions given the same overall score. Of course, that won't find discrimination so they're not going to publish it.
