I've thought about putting something together on protocols and systems design for years now. I've found that the protocols-first approach to system design, analysis, construction, maintenance, and sustainment has worked really well for me, and is probably the most valuable tool I have as an engineer. I would love to see it formalized and taught.

These giant trucks are entirely absurd. I, a truck customer, want a small practical pickup. Nil exist, unless you buy older used models (eg a 90s ranger or toyota pickup) or (subjectively) less practical models for actually hauling cargo. I also want electric. The market is regearing towards electric trucks, but they are also obscene! Rivian has a completely rad e truck, but its so expensive its unobtainable for us common folk. Im excited for https://www.canoo.com/pickup/. The xbus https://electricbrands.de/en/myxbus/ is amazing, but not coming to the US last i checked. Id love it if we had constraints that added impedance to having MASSIVE vehicles just for vanity.
FWIW my very expensive 2017 iMac has the same behavior. CPU pegged 24/7 by "mds" and "mdworker_shared". Just opening Activity Manager right now, I see about 20 mdworker_shared processes, each claiming ~11% CPU. I think disabling Spotlight get this under control, but then again, I like and use Spotlight. Surely Apple is capable of writing software that doesn't need to run full blast constantly.
Lol it's still the same people where ever they move around to within China, that number doesn't change and you don't magically get more people if they move into a city.

This has absolutely zero to do with the demographics crash, you are talking about migration patterns.

It's lovely of you to suggest that I'm "too far gone". That me, or people like me, might actually be the issue here. I suppose it's one of your only options at this point? What are you going to do? Actually defend the "legally discussed" content at the heart of this conversation?

I certainly believe that racist and homophobic content has absolutely zero value, and the people that produce it are diminishing their own self-worth. I believe spending your finite existence to disparage others for things they can't control is not a worthy use of time.

If that is the definition of too far gone, then I'm happy to be here.

There is also the other important thing: the "search engine" in elasticsearch is just "searching the content of documents", not more.

It won't show you which one is "best" (for a given value of "best"), just one that looks most similar to the input.

Trying to index anything that can contain any trace of SEO would be doomed to failure, it also won't tell you which of the sites got linked the most, and million other things other web search engines do to give good results.

In "just put a documents in DB and search them" it is barely enough to look thru corporate knowledge database and it still won't get nuances like "this page is linked from 20 other pages, maybe it should be higher?"

I don't believe that humanity has suffered for millions of years. From what I've read, life before agriculture was decent. The trouble really seemed to begin with agriculture, land, and people ownership.

Population explosion also began with agriculture, since more offspring meant more people to work your lands. Hunter-gatherers breastfed longer (so more years between ability to become pregnant again). Plus they were relatively mobile, so more having more children was not a practical goal.

Many of the diseases and other problems we have now are related to population increases in small areas (bad sanitation, etc.).
> Night lights do add a bit of security, but insects such as moths rely on natural darkness and moonlight to navigate.

We can have a bit of compromise, at least if we had dark sky compliant lights there would be a lot less of an issue. Where I live the streetlights seem to intentionally point upward and it's frustrating that this isn't a priority even when refiting them with LEDs (at least here they put in warm lights instead of cool ones like where I used to live).

I'd rather just see it pour into the Pacific Northwest (PNW). This is driven by personal reasons (hello from Oregon!) but also I think its an easier outgrowth for the region since a plane to Silicon Valley is much faster to arrive (its nonstop 1 hr 30 minutes from most major airports in the PNW). I also have observed that Oregon and Washington share cultural similarities to California that make it easier to integrate the ecosystems.

Plus, same time zone, for the most part.
This makes sense in ZFC.

ZFC is a material set theory and is the most common set theory (and foundation).

It's different in a Structural Set Theory.

Michael Shulman: "Comparing material and structural set theories"

is really nice.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.05204

"In material set theories, the elements of a set X have an independent identity, apart from being collected together as the elements of X. Frequently, they are also
sets themselves.
These are also called “membership-based” set theories.

In structural set theories, the elements of a set X have no identity independentof X, and in particular are not sets themselves; they are merely abstract “elements”
with which we build mathematical structures.
I also think it's notable that somehow DNA "encoding" our minds for mind-inheritance is ruled out using the channel capacity theorem.

Shouldn't this same kind of argument rule out the transferral of minds from one moment to the next, unless minds do not actually arise from our bodies? In other words, does this criticism by Lee commit to mind-body dualism?

While you make a really good point, California contributes roughly the same as it takes from the Federal government. So if it were a sovereign state, it would be paying out basically the same thing to the rest of the US as it takes in from selling them things.

In other words, in this particular case, it's a wash.

His “alternative explanation” is a red herring and mud slinging. “Globalism” refers to an economic structure featuring free trade and free movement of labor across borders. It's parallel to the terms "socialism" and "capitalism."

Many conservative oppose globalism, in particular nationalist and social conservatives. Especially now that, in both the UK and the US, Wall Street/Canary Wharf has aligned itself with socially liberal/economically neoliberal pro-immigration parties.

Obviously the free market types (both conservative and liberal) want to deflect any criticism of these trends. And unfortunately, any criticism of Wall Street/Canary Wharf will draw out some anti-semites. Which is why it's been Labour that's had the problem with anti-semitism: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-politics-labour-a....

But it’s frankly gross to use that to shield globalization as an economic and political trend from criticism.
This is in general true. If people figure out that you're good at something, especially if it's something they don't want to do, then you'll be inundated with tasks involving that something. This can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how much you enjoy that something.

> There's no good reason to expect to be able to protect any given area from a missile attack.

The defense systems in the linked-to article are meant to intercept and destroy missiles far enough away that even if they explode at that point they do not cause damage to the target.

One THADD hit its target at 147 km altitude, says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_De... .

Try NUKEMAP again, with a 147 km altitude (use "Advanced options", select Airburst settings of "burst height", and enter 147 with "km" in the pulldown menu. You won't even see the 1psi over-pressure damage at that height.)

I can't think of any water system in California that imports significant amounts of water. I guess people are trying to count Colorado River water as imported? Perhaps they are unaware that river passes through California.
I have also heard the suggestion that 666 is an obvious number to pick if you use Roman numerals, being every letter (less than M) once in descending order: DCLXVI. (But why exclude M?)

(Trivia: what is the biggest number that is an English word when written as a Roman numeral?)
On the other hand, we can't rely on state attourneys to protect the rights of minorities. Many would, but they can just as easily not enforce such a law. In fact, because disabled people are a small voting block, elected state attourneys really are not incentivised to do so. (This is why we need rights in a democracy - protecting minority interests that a government representing majority interests is not incentivised to care about).

In general, giving government more power without strong guardrails about how it's used it isn't very effective at making people's lives better.

You could imagine ways to make the private right of action work. Perhaps penalties and remedies for frivolous lawsuits like anti-SLAPP statutes.

Doesn’t most of that apply to Germany and the EU?

I think that people forget that US States are States in a Union. The Federal Government is there to regulate commerce and provide for common defense, even if it gained some extra responsibilities post-New Deal. US states have their own laws, executive, market policies, constitutions, and all; they are not just departments of the federal government. So California<->Germany seems like the only fair comparison, just as it wouldn’t make sense to compare the United States to Germany, but the EU as a whole.

What is "real"?

The ancients may have understood negative numbers, but IIRC the concept of zero (additive identity) wasn't understood until Arabic Numbers / Algebra. So "zero" isn't real, at least not to the Romans or Greeks.

Once Algebra is invented, we learn that not only is "zero" a useful concept (additive identity), but so is "one" (multiplicative identity). More importantly, the inverse of multiplication can be defined as "blah times number == 1". IIRC, the Greeks somehow understood this concept before the invention of Algebra, but its easier to see once you have Algebra.

Once we have those, its not too difficult to extend into irrational numbers, such as sqrt(2). The Greeks almost discovered it, but were too stubborn. There's a lot of discussion in Greek Mathematics over sqrt(2)... they're so so close but they were too much of a fanboy of integers / rational numbers to actually reach the concept.

Once we understand sqrt(2), its not too difficult to extend the principle to sqrt(-1) or sqrt(-2), reaching the concept of "i".

-----------

sqrt(-1) occurs in "real" voltages / currents all the time today in Electrical Engineering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor). Its as "real" as any other number. IE: We can truly measure real-world objects (ie: the voltage going through your power-lines) and assign them a value of "i", and use that to predict what happens to the electricity as it flows through your equipment and/or house.

So all of these things are "real" numbers, that describe truly physical real-world objects. Its just an unfortunate naming convention of "Real" vs "Imaginary" vs "Rational" vs "Irrational", which comes down to history / order of discoveries, rather than usefulness.
> I would love to see Excel but with a scratch/snap-like interface for authoring formulas.

Long/complex Excel formulae should usually be broken into smaller chunks, with intermediate results stored in separate cells. For example, if you're calculating two numbers, and then calculating their ratio, it would be better to use three formulae instead of one. That way:

1. Each formula is shorter.

2. Each formula has a single purpose which can be understood.

3. The outputs of the intermediate steps in the calculation are obvious.

This applies also to complex nested IF() statements. Instead of calculating all the conditions inside the IF(), calculate them outside, and then reference the TRUE/FALSE cell values in your IF statement. When you need to debug why you're not getting the result you want, you can easily look at the intermediate calculations all at once, without needing to step through the calculation and check it in the order of calculation.

My comment doesn’t apply if you’re asking about videos for which the language is German. I assume you meant geographically based content regions for English videos.

Just checking that you are using a mobile (android or iOS) version of the app. I may be totally wrong (I’m basically making this up based on intuition), but I wouldn’t be surprised if the internet site version of TikTok doesn’t support the same level of input to the algorithm. There is fine tuning to your interaction data that the mobile app supports (I’m sure that it bases decisions on how long you watch videos (regardless of whether you like or follow), and I think it might even base decisions of what sections of videos make you stop watching)).

I hit it off right away with the mobile version. Off the bat: there were lots of half-nude women, gym rat videos, and other generic social content for my region. Within the hour, I was getting mostly finely curated comedy clips from standup comedians I liked (and not from others I didn’t like). It’s really amazing how well the algorithm works.
