I choose atheism when 16 and rediscovered religion at 35. How? whats the difference between a religion and believing in atheism, psychology, social science? in this sense i overcame atheism and started looking at the interesting concepts of religions, introduced geografically and sequentially in time. naturally i decided to dig deeper in my cultures religion at hand instead of idealising the grass is greener far away. my conclusion is that sciences and religions is just a approach to understand and model the world. it would be stupid to ignore the knowledge embeeded in both and there are wrong conclusions embedded that are not easy to identify in both. maybe it seems easier to identify them with! science but still social "science" nowadays seems to me not much more like a new cult trying new approaches challenging thousand year old cults and knowledge embedded in their religion. Like a kid who challenges the parents. In the end it's a natural selection process that will decide what knowledge / models survive through time. Isn't it a beautiful creation process. No need to condemn either approach. The Bible teaches, you shouldnt use gods name in vain. Exodus 20:7. Isnt it true for science, too?
This is really interesting and many of the comments here go into the utility of this, however, verify that you aren't recording somebody else without their consent, in many places it is illegal to record to conversations without the other party's consent.

I only ran across this problem years ago when, due to a serious potential workplace issue I suggested somebody basically "wear a wire" and record their workday to catch some HR problems. We found out that the state this was occurring in had a two-party consent law and violating it was not a great idea.

We're somewhat limited by what version of clap is available in our internal monorepo. We try to keep things reasonably up-to-date though, so I'm sure we'll upgrade at some point.

I believe we actually only use clap for some side binaries, not for the main sl executable. We have a custom parser for that (https://github.com/facebook/sapling/tree/main/eden/scm/lib/c...), to match the preexisting hg parse behavior. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with clap or why we didn't go with clap in the first place to say what we would need to use clap for the main binary.

>But if the economy as a whole is growing, then it is possible for some of that growth to land in Bitcoin such that everyone with Bitcoin is better off than before, and nobody is worse

Not true. Value gain=Revenue-Costs. Revenue for Bitcoin as a whole is 0. Costs are positive. Therefore it is negative sum.

Compare with Coca cola stock. Revenue>Cost. So it is positive sum.

Notice that there is no "cosmological constant" term. The rest of the universe gaining or losing value has no bearing on a specific stock or crypto

Monads in Haskell:

Monads in Haskell are a simple, but powerful, abstraction mechanism. The purpose of a monad is to provide a way to abstract away some of the details of the underlying computation. Monads are a part of the functional programming paradigm, which is based on functions and values, rather than on objects and messages.

Monads are a general mechanism for defining new control structures. The basic idea is that the programmer can define a type that encapsulates a computation together with a set of operations that can be used to sequence, condition and iterate those computations.

In Haskell, monads are used for structuring effectful computations. A pure computation is one that has no side effects, that is, the result of a pure computation is the same regardless of the context in which it is executed. A side effect is an action that can happen during the computation, and can affect the result. For example, a side effect might be an I/O operation, such as reading or writing

I got interested in Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC) while following a rabbit hole of trying to understand the population admixture of Indians. It is a truly fascinating civilisation. Here are some titbits that I found really interesting.

At it peak it was a spread over a truly gigantic geographical space. However the city architectures followed nearly same blue print. Which points to the existence of some kind of central planning.

It is known as a faceless civilisation because there wasn't an obviously kingly figure. No royal burials, no palaces, no extravagant houses etc., Of course there were rich and poor people but overall it seemed to be an egalitarian culture. Most houses are more or less uniformly well built.

The cities were divided into two sections; one part showing signs of more wealth than the other, suggesting ruling class of some sort. But again, it wasn't as if there was a king or as such.

There is no sign of war, destruction or violence. No weapons, no signs of burning/pillage etc.,

They traded with contemporary civilisations, predominantly with Mesopotamia.

Unfortunately you can't use Sapling with Mercurial repositories. There are too many differences at this point.

This does not use hg-git under the hood. Sapling's internal structure differs from Mercurial in substantial ways, and we've built some cleaner layering that allowed us to shim Git in under our storage layer. This also means that we read and write directly to the git repo, instead of duplicating and importing all the data like hg-git did. This has some nice benefits, like the hashes you see in the output are actually Git hashes.
>The truth is, no one knows because there is no reliable evidence that Hoover was gay.

>The Soviet KGB began spreading disinformation about J Edgar Hoover's sexual proclivities in the 1960s. These included claims that Hoover was a gay cross-dresser. The fact is that in the well-regarded history book, The Sword And The Shield - The Mitrokhin Archive And The Secret History Of The KGB, authors Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin, point out that like the CIA, the FBI was a major target of KGB disinformation operations and that, until his death in 1972, many of these measures were directed against J Edgar Hoover.

Hello, I'm a moron! I once got myself trapped, alone, in a canyon, at night, with no gear, and couldn't get out. It was dumb luck that I didn't go deeper down in the canyon; I was just close enough to the top-out that I had 1 bar of signal sometimes. I was able to text and call emergency services and send my lat/lon. Finally a local sheriff was able to find me. He threw me down some tiny poly cordage, and I was able to claw my way up a crack. If I hadn't had that bit of cell signal, I could have been stranded for days (or forever?), or drowned in a flash flood. In that moment, I don't care how much it costs me, I'm going to take any emergency service option I can get. I don't have an iPhone, but I would consider getting one now.

Aside from that, I live in upstate NY, and probably 85% of the land around here has no cell service. If you can't make it to someone's house who has a land line, this is probably the best option to get ahold of emergency services.
I tried that 'buy from a man on the street' thing a couple of times. Young, wasn't spending much anyway. I was fairly experienced at spotting the easy problems. Both times I bought someone else's well-hidden problem. One lasted a year, one a month. Friends, then dealers (with a warranty).

That depends , if they took a principled position that, say trans rights groups were censoring notable science re: gender and sexuality and donated to FIRE - an organization that is specifically devoted to maintaining the academy as a place of inquiry, but incidentally opposes social justice missions, that seems like it could be in keeping with Wikipedia's wider mission and legitimate.

However, I'd feel like sponsoring the Ben Shapiro superpac would be obviously over the line - not because they're "conservative" or "against social justice", but because the way in which it opposes "social justice" is not an incidental aspect of protecting freedom of information.

Similarly, funding the pre-2015 ACLU could have a similar argument made - even though they had a liberal bent well before the Harvard amicus brief.

Unfortunately we can't really talk too much about that at this point. I can say a lot of effort has gone in on the server side to optimize commit throughput though.

One example we mention in the blog post is that when you push, it doesn't actually need to be a fast-foward push (using Git terminology) to succeed. Our server can rebase the commit on top of the destination bookmark for you (with some limitations, like not merging file contents). This allows many people to push, and not have to race to rebase. Then we have substantial optimizations around the critical section of final-rebase-then-move-branch-forward, which yields pretty good throughput.

No there is also something bad about rejecting less quantifiable forms of charity as well. Movements grow out of communities and through solidarity and you build neither by mailing a check across the world and considering your obligation met.

I do think it's good to optimize money spent for these things much of the time but it's also just inhuman to have no place, or respect, for forms of charity that are based on, form and reinforce human connection.
And yet Effective Altruism in itself is not technology focused. There's no evidence that list of people (many philosophers) think tech will solve everything.
> The example of a community theater highlights another issue I have with effective altruism. It effectively encourages you to only donate to things you can make a quantifiable case for.

Then you will be delighted/horrified to find out that the effective altruism community doesn't feel the need to make quantifiable justifications for how they spend their own donations, as evidenced by this $20k grant they gave someone to learn to ride a bike and think about AI[1].

That's about 3853 to 4090 mosquito nets' worth of donations, using GiveWell's numbers for the Against Malaria Foundation[2].

It's really the same as the US (other than our states and cities acting more like corporations), it comes down to who gets dispatched: if it's the government you're fine, but oftentimes if you're near a resort, it comes down to whether dispatch thinks the resort staff, a government agency, or a volunteer group is better suited for the rescue. If it's the resort, you might've agreed to give them the legal right to claw back costs.

It's not like the chemicals causing dropping sperm count are doing only that.

We have dropping testosterone levels, outrageous obesity levels, anxiety, depression, autism, other gender and sexuality abnormalities, cancer, auto immune diseases, cognitive problems, etc.

We figured out that we shouldn't put lead in paint & gasoline, that we shouldn't put asbestos in our houses, shouldn't handle mercury with our hands. But there are thousands of petrochemicals coming into contact with our bodies every day now, and surely some of them are endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, cause reproductive health issues, etc. Yes it's a crisis.
I've seen stats that showed a significant increase in the number of callouts without major injuries in a period around 20 years ago, which correlated with mobile phones becoming popular. Suddenly it was easy for someone to call rescue services when they're stuck, where previously they would have had to make a plan. And maybe it also increased the number of people going out into the mountains now that they had an easy way to call for help.

But overall, the rescue services managed easily. The growth was slow enough over a couple of years, that it's easy enough to scale up the number of volunteers as needed. In my experience, when you get more callouts, more people are eager to volunteer. No-one wants to spend regular time doing training when there aren't any callouts.
I don't know what you think you've demonstrated here: I can't find a single reference to the FBI in that second article you've linked.

I also don't buy the premise: the existence of any individual action by the FBI doesn't indicate a shift in their partisan tendencies. The original article goes to great pains to demonstrate this, e.g. with Hoover's begrudging support for civil rights violation prosecutions.

In other words, you're overextending yourself. Nobody has claimed that the New Yorker isn't okay with institutional authority (what would that even mean?). The only claim is that they haven't demonstrated any particular inconsistency regarding the FBI.
This take on EA notion replaces it with a straw man.

Essentially EA tells not "let's save as many lives as possible" but "let's improve the world according to our values as much as possible". And values might differ among the people.

In your example with cure for relative working with only X probability Vs definitely curing stranger on the other side of the world there should be value X for which you will prefer to cure the stranger. Whether it 10% , 1% or maybe 0.01% I will not blame you. But it worth to know your values like value of your family member life over the stranger's life to act accordingly.

Dive into EA activities starts with exploring your values. How do you value lives of animals in comparison to lives of people? Do you prefer improving people well being now or reducing existential risks like wars and epidemies? EA literally made a tool to estimate one's values and promote this tool on the front page.

Good points. Personally, a lot of the appeal of open source is not so much about having free stuff, it's more about being able to learn from others. I learned a ton from the various engines Id Software released back in the day, but have no expectation that they maintain them.

If it comes to stuff I actually want to _use_, I avoid projects backed by a single or a few companies - like Sapling. So from that angle, I'm not particularly impressed either.
Chrome can actually bypass HSTS if you enter the super secret code in the security warning screen. The code is changed regularly though, you'll have to check chromium source code to get the current bypass code. (e.g. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/tags/1... )

Very useful for testing but don't make a habit to use it on some random websites.
A lot of work on software development is done by the paid staff. And Wikipedia - and also accompanying projects like Commons, Wikidata, Wiktionary, Wikisource, etc. - are complex pieces of software with long list of features requested by users. Even if it weren't so, running site of this magnitude requires an operations team that can not be volunteer. So, pretending that the hosting bill is the only (or the main) expense that goes into running Wikipedia is silly.
Every company is fucked up in a different way, even though they have many similarities.
