> semantic versioning allows "1.2.3alpha"

Perhaps I missed it, but I thought [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) required a “-“ between the patch number and a prerelease identifier since at least version 1.0.0 (with 1.0.0-beta allowing a “.” instead of a “-“), no?

I was disappointed that the article didn't elaborate on this possibility. The possibility of a Convention of States [0] looms closer than many realize [1]. Only 34 states are needed call the Convention. Although only 19 have officially voted in favor so far, it's believed that the potential number may be higher if slightly different but equivalent provisions are counted. Given a charismatic enough President whose party controls most of the statehouses, getting over the 34 vote threshold is not impossible. Depending on your political leanings, the possibility could be either thrilling or dire. [2]

> What will most likely happen is that the prices of pork will go up in Cali

That assumes:

* either pork production for CA takes place only inside CA or in other states they have two levels of pork production

* if the latter, this further requires that pork producers are happy maintaining two levels of production

* it also requires that no or few other states follow CA lead on requirements

> Regulation simply equals increased prices

Regulation is often (not always, but often) about bring externalities into the actual cost. So the full picture of the result of regulation needs to include:

* what were the externalities now being priced?

* where was the cost of the externalities previously experienced (e.g. poor communities dealing with runoff and waste from pork production)

* what was the full cost of the externalities before regulation bought some of them into the actual price?

* what are the remaining externalities after the regulation
Shit, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon.

No, according to the spec, the hyphen is mandatory: "A pre-release version MAY be denoted by appending a hyphen and a series of dot separated identifiers immediately following the patch version."
Why is cold a commodity? Isn't the vast vast majority of the universe extremely cold?
Irrelevant. For anything classified aka serious, you start with these assumptions. If it's not classified, then it's basically about as confidential as a business process is.

> So it's not a negligible amount of money, but it costs less than my combined streaming services. Cutting it by 20% would allow me to afford... another streaming service? A couple of days' groceries?

Your math comes out similar to what I remember from the utility bill (which I currently don't have handy, so I won't provide exact calculation). It's not life-changing, but it's not nothing. A couple days of groceries worth of money we could use for arbitrary discretionary spending, at a cost of... pretty much nothing, I don't consider this habit to take noticeable effort over keeping the shower running. And with several more such "little to no effort saves you a Netflix subscription" habits, this adds up. You can probably ignore $100-$150 / month saved off utility bills and incidental costs when on a tech-equivalent salary, but many people wouldn't.

(And yes, we mind the opportunity costs too.)

> I know from experience being forced to shower with a mostly-clogged drain for a couple of days there's no way my shower head is filling the tub even over my ankles before the shower is done (5-10 minutes).

That's an interesting data point. I may have exaggerated with "several tubs", though my actual shower, left on for the entire duration and with drain plugged, would fill a tub[0] to the level where, were I to lie down, the water would spill out[1]. We may have different sizes of the tub/showering compartments, and possibly different pressure levels and flow rates. Eyeballing it now, the bathroom faucet gives some 10-12 liters per minute, maybe a bit more; this is cut down to some 8 liters per minute when going through the shower head in default setting.

> And I guess we're just blessed with plentiful water on the US East Coast, because I've lived in several states on this coast for my entire life and I'd never even heard of "Navy Shower" until college, and only then as a reference to... the Navy! Or sometimes we hear about Californians being asked to do so when a drought hits.

I never heard it called this way until 'stavros mentioned it today! For me, it was always known as the "mom asking 'why are you wasting water in the shower?' shower" :). We don't need to do it, it just feels unnecessarily wasteful if we don't (and it makes noticeable difference in the bills for households on median salary or below).

[0] - The 32' x 60' like here: https://www.thespruce.com/bathtub-sizes-reference-guide-1821..., which is similar to "standard bathtub" of 70x170cm where I live.

[1] - I admit I got confused by my intuition. A "standard bathtub" similar to [0] will hold over 200 liters of water, which is of course way more than the shower head would provide over the duration of my shower. When I wrote about filling bath tubs, I thought intuitively about the volume past which you can't lie down without it spilling out.
This kinda makes sense really, its a pain though.

Those blue screens occurred in dramatically less complex and better understood software, too.

I'm not saying we don't understand how FSD works, or the underlying technology. It's not a complete black box. I believe there was even a proof recently showing that these things are essentially massive decision trees and they can be deterministically unravelled.

But this is otherwise totally negligent from where I'm standing.
If there is a strong enough popular support for taking more extreme actions, then there should be strong enough support to change the constitution the normal way.

For people who want the constitution changed, thats the dilemma they have to deal with. If they don't have enough support to do it the regular way, then maybe the more silly and extreme solutions aren't justified either.
I was recently struck by this tidbit about Cormac McCarthy:

> As a child, McCarthy saw no value in school, preferring to pursue his own interests. He described a moment when his teacher asked the class about their hobbies. McCarthy answered eagerly, as he later said, "I was the only one with any hobbies and I had every hobby there was ... name anything, no matter how esoteric. I could have given everyone a hobby and still had 40 or 50 to take home."[15]

That’s the same thing. The quality decreases when the automated trash can beat the system.
One wonders if the effect you're describing isn't the reason that self-directed entrepreneurship seems to be on a sharp decline in the developed world. Believe the media, let alone the internet, and one would imagine we have 8 year olds building nuclear reactors and curing cancer, in their basements. So how can this hare brained scheme you have ever possibly work? Surely somebody else would have done it by now.
We need more exploits of these co-processors running in the wild. This stuff is done in the name of security but is incredibly insecure by nature.

The full first tweet is “(THREAD) Evidence that enriched refined grains promotes obesity. A major overlooked factor in the 1980s obesity epidemic.” At the bottom of the thread are links to the author’s website, presumably with more information.

There are certainly other factors in the obesity epidemic — endocrine disruptors, fake foods, PUFA, etc — but maybe the fortification of flour is a major factor?

I posted the other day about my friend’s tragic experience with Arizona’s involuntary mental health industry [0]. Tl/dr: My friend is diagnosed as chronically disabled. The doctors think she must take anti-psychotics for the rest of her life. I have videos proving she was actually fine 2 weeks before she ran out of alcohol. After maybe ~3 years of forced tranquilizers (“anti-psychotics”), she figured out for herself that she’s a poor methylator who can’t turn the provitamin folic acid into something usable. She said using a methylated form of Vitamin B-9 (L-Methyfolate) was like flipping a switch from “depressed” to “not-depressed”. (This has been forgotten. Now they just keep her on the tranquilizers without the vitamin.)

> The first AGI is (some) amount of time away.

you jump in the air at high noon. the sun is (some) distance away, and for some time, you're getting closer to it.

if we make an ai that's able to make a better ai than we are, then it does stand to reason that it'll kick off exponential growth for some time, but it'll reach limits just like anything. those limits may fall short of magicing/smarting away the obstacles to colonizing space.

and we'll reach limits too. it might be that the amount of time between now and when we make a sufficient ai is more time than we have.

I would hope you wouldn't threaten that and just ask for more money. If your end goal is to do that, then hopefully you'll be security conscious enough to do so and say... hm, have no idea how that got there. Me personally... I'd release it to the public and watch as the corporation suffers until the next one where they'll be glad to pay more.
Except there is nothing but idealism behind the idea that this is true.

Indeed, we have AGI already, they are called humans, and the progress we see in the development of AI is not exponentially explosive. The only exponential growth we've seen (which is necessarily logarithmic growth after some inflection point, actually) is Moore's Law.
whenever that happens, try going to "example.com" in your browser. that will almost always trigger the captive portal.

Also, make sure your router dns settings aren't interfering with the captive portal itself (they hijack your dns and redirect you when they haven't had you login before).
Yeah, I'm a whisky nerd, and the uninitiated trying to buy me whisky is almost always disappointing. Usually it'll be something from the grocery store, which has a chance of being ok, but has no chance of being novel, while simultaneously for the buyer feeling like it's pretty expensive.

I've told folks that want to buy me something to go into a specialty shop and ask for recommendations there. If they want to excite the folks working there, taking a photo of my collection will let them know my taste, and they'll get excited about doing recommendations (since they'll almost certainly also be whisky nerds).

This is probably the best bet for folks really determined to get something for $thing-nerds.
And who will be programming the AI?
Terrorism works to... what? Sell xray machines? Decrease tourism? Convince Lithuanians to quit interfering in Kentucky? Fund the security industrial complex?

I thought of that, but later in life I saw how most kids were ok with other kind of "nerds" as long as they were sociable and not ugky.

I remember of a kid who was nerdier than me, but he didn't fit into the usual nerdy social anxiety and he also did boxing as a hobby so he was ok.

I concluded that it was not really about interest.

It's worse. They're not bored. They're very much enjoying the politicking.

Hmm. If Apple were easier to develop on I'd consider buying their M chip laptops for that reason alone.

You posited that workers are interchangeable cogs, but shitty jobs are a dime a dozen as well.
Your frame of reference is based on existing implementations, but existing implementations are by definition ones which have not solved your concerns. You are looking at AR from the lens of today's optics, rather than looking at where technology is going to lead us. Will you use AR if it's light and comfortable enough? I mean, even the giant bricks of laptops and cell phones initially had users, and eventually as they got smaller they gained even more users.

You can already see the advancement of AR software by holding up your iphone and trying out the various AR features that overlay things in the real world and can even use the depth sensor to occlude your hand. Or try out Google maps AR view which literally does a video game style overlay of the path you need to take over the actual world. Maybe you don't like these things, but I think they are objectively cool, and right now only held back by a lack of hardware to make it convenient to do AR in every day scenearios (lightweight glasses or goggles). But, Apple is working on that, and so is Meta, and since technology advances by Moore's law it's only a matter of time before the glasses get light enough and comfortable enough that we don't have to hold up our phones awkwardly in front of our faces to do AR.

Things that AR can accomplish:

1) Overlaying peoples' names so I don't have to remember so many names. Not a problem for many people but some people have a hard time remembering names.
2) Always there real world overlay of directions so you don't have to keep pulling out your phone.
3) AR games and entertainment
4) No need for giant physical 2 dimensional information displays in the real world. Once AR gets sufficiently clear and high enough resolution there is literally no need for physical displays... only virtual ones. The whole point of physical displays since inception is to show information, sometimes 3D information, on a 2D surface. We've been trying to make them smaller and smaller ever since... what better size than no size at all.
4) The whole point of any digital display is to augment our eyes with information. The ultimate display is one that is right in front of your eyes. AR is the next logical step for digital displays.
To attack. To hurt. To cause fear. To degrade a perceived enemy's sense of safety, order, civility, etc. To destroy social fabric. To cause maximum damage to that from which the terrorist feels alienated.

Real life isn't a Tom Clancy novel, and many terrorists are not agents of transnational militant organizations with specific and articulated geopolitical aims.

For many terrorists, the terror is the goal.

You can yell and scream and plead that we shouldn't be afraid. And look: I'm not here to disagree. Not at all. I'm just here to tell you that if your appeals started to work, future terrorists would switch to different tactics. And also that terrorists are likely choosing the tactics they are precisely because they think you're wrong about your ability to get the vast majority of people to not be afraid.

Again, no solutions here. But ignoring the fundamental goal of terrorism and mass violence probably isn't a good starting point.
