Article author here - lots of interesting perspectives, I can't respond to them all, but I think this comment and the issues of bias induced by asymmetric application of trust (or vitriol) is important to consider.

Some other interesting points on probability etc. - happy to discuss further. Perhaps a call sometime? We're of course open to feedback & civil discourse, and I've always admired the ycombinator crowd. I thought of applying to start a phage therapy company, but investors required a patent, which requires disclosing the tech to the whole world, and the tech can be used to make extremely dangerous viruses capable of killing people, so I folded on that venture.

Anyways, I appreciate all of you entrepreneurs and smart people & your efforts to make the world better with disruptive innovations. I'm here - feel free to email me at alex.washburne@joinselva.com if you want to discuss anything further, and if possible perhaps a call with many people present and organized questions could be a way to engage in productive discourse? I'm flexible!
you can't prove something just by assuming it that would be trivial, if we can build or convince ourselves how to build a wormhole or a time machine then we can believe in Real numbers
Well I guess I'm not a part of that "we", and I suspect quite a lot of people of Irish descent wouldn't be a part of it either. As another comment has pointed out, Great Britain does exclude Northern Ireland, and official language refers to it as "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" [1]. People will generally specify Northern Ireland, and I've pretty much never heard anyone say, I don't know, "I'm going to Belfast, it'll be nice to hang out in Britain".

Do British people normalize referring to the entire thing as just Britain? Yeah, probably. But the colonizer will always try to normalize erasing you and replacing your language with their own.

MacOS (which is what it's called now, OS X name got retired) will annoy you, changes annoy people, but if you buy an Apple product it'll actually work for quite a few years. Not 15, unless you're unusual, they're not supported that long. If you want your software or hardware accessories to be supported forever, they won't be. If you have really opinionated positions on how something will function forever, you'll be disappointed.

But out of the box it works. Hard crashes are very rare. User hostile things like forced updates don't happen.

The worst things are much much less likely to happen than with hardware that runs Windows, and if something happens the tech support at Apple stores is pretty good. If you want a good Windows machine you have to do extensive research to figure out how not to get crap, and you still end up wrong sometimes. If your grandma wants a computer, you can just tell her to go to an Apple store and get whatever she wants and it'll work.

"Puberty blockers" are the same class - and same effects as - the chemicals used to castrate gay people and pedophiles, including Alan Turing. Something the UK has since officially apologized for. I wonder if there are more apologies to come.
Yeah, the whole thing where the drug manufacturer pays for your copay is a bit infuriating in how it sets up such horrific incentives in terms of price-to-insurance. Tecfidera was just dimethyl fumarate, which you can buy in gallon quantities for pretty cheap.

That is why it is more expensive in the US. The patient rarely pays for it, so the insurance companies make it comically expensive and then the insurance pays for it up to a deductable and then the MANUFACTURER pays the copay for you. It's really, really stupid incentives.

Literally with Tecfidera I would burn through my annual deductible so fast that I didn't have to pay for any other medical procedures after the first three months of a year. But out of pocket it was free because of these incentive plans. It was freaking dimethyl furmarate, and I'll grant them manufacturing and formulary costs, and trial costs, but clearly there's more than just that going on.

But yes, Ocrevus and Kesimpta (both are monoclonal antibodies that reduce B-cells, and leave you immunosupressed -- I got 5 covid vaccine boosters, two rounds of monoclonal antibodies to boost my immune system, and still got COVID last month) are as far as I am aware the state of the art for drugs.

Personally I think the idea of somehow treating an underlying EB infection while also doing other treatments is the most actually encouraging news I heard out of MS research since Ocrevus.

In any case, FWIW I did more research on that site and it does actually list "spouse" as excluded. Since other people may also have rather panicked after hearing about this I have copied it below wholesale.

Excessive demand cost threshold

2022 cost threshold (under the temporary public policy)

$120,285 over 5 years (or $24,057 per year)

This is an amount that we use to decide if the cost of your condition places an excessive demand on Canada’s health and social services.

In June 2018, the Government of Canada announced changes to the excessive demand policy. Under the new policy, the cost threshold amount is increased. The new amount is now three times the Canadian average cost for health and social services. We’ll update this amount every year, based on the latest Canadian average.

Exceptions

Medical inadmissibility rules for excessive demand reasons don’t apply to:

* refugees and their dependants

* protected persons

* certain people being sponsored by their family, such as dependant children, spouses and common-law partners
Are you working from home or in a workplace? Available options are much more limited with the latter.
Autoimmune disorders are usually caused when a hidden genetic susceptibility combines with an environmental trigger to create antibodies that are cross-reactive with yourself. The greater the chemical diversity in your environment, the more genetic susceptibilities will be triggered. The greater the difference between the modern and historical chemical environments, the less effective evolution will have been at making sure those susceptibilities didn't make it to you. Exposure to thousands of diverse, evolutionary novel, otherwise-harmless chemicals is the worst-case scenario for autoimmunity.

Or the two things are different.
When I was in grad school, I was doing some legal consulting on the side. A big part of one of the projects (a high nine-figure case) involved a bunch of Excel work. My boss wanted me at the trial with a laptop, Excel, and all the data just in case the other side revealed any errors in my results. He told me about other cases that were lost due to minor errors that, upon further review, had no meaningful impact on the analysis.

I did not believe Excel was the right tool for the job. As you might expect, I had high levels of stress until they announced a settlement right before the trial was set to begin. I later realized that I should have done everything elsewhere to confirm that my Excel results were correct.

Not saying truly transgender people don't exist but the huge explosion in numbers since it became socially acceptable means that either there's "something in the water" which is increasing the number of transgender people around, or a lot of vulnerable young people approaching and going through puberty and feeling confused and different are convincing themselves they're transgender [because it's all over the news], where back in my day they'd be fretting that they might be gay.

I think the danger is in the fact that, for someone at that vulnerable age, convincing yourself you're transgender can lead to you undergoing life-changing, physical alteration to your body, where convincing yourself you must be gay might have lead to a few embarrassing memories, in later life.

You have some good points here but I think you may be missing the middle link - sugar is bad (and can be proven in the short term) but my personal theory is that one of the contributing factors to alzheimers (not necessarily the sole cause) is a yet to be identified autoimmune disorder. And overconsumption of sugar (and also lack of proper prebiotic fibers) will greatly mess up peoples immune systems through the gut bacteria pathway.
For such cases, I've taken to starting the BBC World Service stream on my phone's speaker at low volume. Just loud enough to be a presence but at or below the threshold where I can easily make out the words.

Without really paying attention to the news/program, it seems to "short circuit" my attention or whatever's going on in my mind, enough that I usually drift off within a few minutes.

Anecdote, but with a success of 1 (person).

P.S. I used to find the idea of sleeping with the TV or radio on counterproductive, and I still wouldn't do it at normal volume, but this hack has worked to let me doze off when that's not happening on its own. My normal and long-standing bedtime routine is usually to read for a few minutes until tiredness overtakes me.

P.P.S. I should mention that I also have white noise playing in the bedroom, due to intermittent neighborhood noise issues. Perhaps the BBC stream would be too distracting without the white noise's presence.

Slightly higher real latency? Are you talking about asynchronous CPUs like the GreenArrays GA144? Or saying that if you're running off the internal RC oscillator the clock speed will vary because the supply voltage varies depending on memory access patterns? Or by "slightly higher real latency" do you mean that an instruction will take 2 clock cycles instead of 1 or 3 cycles instead of 2? I don't think any of those are true on things like the ATMega328 AVR8 mentioned above or the Padauk PMS150C. Maybe you mean something else?

Bitbanging protocols with tight timing requirements using cycle-accurate code is still a thing people routinely do on small microcontrollers, and it wouldn't work if instruction timing was as unpredictable as you're saying.

Nevertheless, I agree that removing data-dependent branches is a better way to close timing leaks.

It's hard for me to reconcile statements like these with the reports of ill-equipped forces since the beginning of this recent conflict last winter.

I'd still disagree. Want to share an image? Put it in ~/www/. Want to share a video? Put it in ~/www. Want to share some music? Put the .mp3 in ~/www. This core idea, that you can share files simply by using a file system, makes many of these extremely complex tools that require containerization due to their rapidly changing deps... overkill. An impediment to the actual goal of just showing people things. There's almost nothing simpler than using your mouse to drag a file into a folder or $ cp etc etc.

As for hosting your own Matrix homeserver, sure, that's such a heavy and over-complex protocol that changes rapidly and uses libs that change even faster.

Or even better, don't use protocols that are so unstable you can't run them natively.

See below for the full quote from the canadian website, but CAD$24,057 per year is the canadian cost threshold so yeah, it'd be just barely disallowed. The $120k number you may be thinking of is a five-year average.

Underrated comment..
>Because one country you have a say in and the others you don't?

Yeah but what's the point of your activism? Is it to tick off a box and say that you did "something"? Or is it to improve the world by some metric (ie. microplastic pollution)? If it's the latter, then it's pretty obvious that you should devote your effort into the highest impact projects regardless of whether it's righteous or not (ie. even if it means picking up "the tab of the externalized costs from all these companies selling single-use packaging").

>Why should any other country mandate a switch if even wealthy countries don't bother?

They shouldn't because I never made such a proposal. My original comment mentioned "investing in better waste management systems in developing countries".

> Simula doesn’t even run Windows, which would be a nice consolation for being stuck on x86.

I think the only issue with getting it to run Windows would be Windows lack of support for stereoscopic displays (for its OS GUI). If someone in the community really wants it and can figure that out, maybe Windows can still run in the unit.

This is assuming that there's support for installing whatever Linux distro one wants. If that's true, installing Windows should also be doable, I would think.
