The fine-tuned universe is not a scientific concept though. The only hypothesis at a high level is that the constants or initial conditions of our only observable universe could have been different. However we have no data or reason to believe this is the case. We have no other universes to observe. We have no statistics about the distribution of possible constants. There are no experiments we could run.

Even the headline of this article smells bad, right? Typical as opposed to what? When I see an albino squirrel, I know that it is atypical. I have seen thousands of squirrels, and other mammals, and I have good reason to believe that an all-white squirrel with red eyes is out of the ordinary. I can calculate how many of them there are out of the population and get a ratio to operationalize my definition of "atypical". I can learn more about genetics and biology and melanin and understand an underlying cause for the condition and make predictions about albino-ness in other animals that is falsifiable through further investigation.

In this case though we just have an untestable mathematical model for 'possible universes' (whatever that means) that puts our universe near the top of some abstract bell curve. I understand that smart people made it and that it is very technical and fancy, but I also know that it is made outside of the scientific process becuase I know that we have never observed another universe, we don't have an understanding of how universes are made, we don't know what the possible bounds are for the constants of nature (because they are...constant...). So I consider this to be like a very technical art project.

The argument that god created the universe is also a fine tuning argument, but no one seems to give that one much credence.

> I'm not an English native speaker myself

So your posts don't really give this away to me, except for the dropped "have"/"has" that GP pointed out (I've seen this a lot from people who learned English as a second language, though I'm not confident enough to guess what your first language is). But it does give me two additional ideas that from a quick scroll downwards I don't think others have suggested: Language or culture.

Language is unlikely but I do want to mention it as a possibility because I have a concrete example in English speakers learning Japanese: Implied subject. It's a common point of confusion with beginners that usually doesn't get a whole lot of explanation, other than "you have to infer it from the context" [0]. Maybe something similar is going on here, a piece of context that would be made more explicit in your first language that we usually skip or just imply in English?

Culture is a possibility because I've seen it mentioned on here many times in the past, and I'm guessing if English isn't your first language and English speakers are confusing, you probably grew up in a (slightly?) different culture than you work in now, in addition to the language difference. I don't have good examples here, but what I remember is people talking about how people from some countries are very direct and in other countries that comes off as rude, and in the opposite direction the people trying to be polite sound like they're trying to avoid direct answers and it's hard to get them to say what they mean. That second one kind-of sounds like what you're describing here.

And the relevant transactions and approvals get recorded in other media for even longer periods in auditable forms.

A slack exchange saying, "Hey, would you approve this expense?" "Sure" isn't a problem. It's the lack of formal follow ups in an auditable medium that is.
Example: "I'm sorry to say this but" ...

Means you acknowledge the hurt saying something will cause but you still need to say it. because it needs to be said.

It's not just dereferencing invalid */& that's illegal in Rust, but constructing and dereferencing valid &/&mut in ways that don't respect tree-shaped mutability.

I've put together a playground at https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio.... "Object graph" architectures are common in C++ and sometimes necessary in Rust when building GUI applications or emulators. Rust's pointer aliasing rules invalidate otherwise-correct code, placing roadblocks in the way of writing correct code. And there's so much creation of &mut (which invalidates aliasing pointers for the duration of the &mut, and invalidates sibling &mut and all pointers constructed from them), that's so implicit I don't know what's legal and what's not by auditing code. (Box<T> used to also invalidate aliasing pointers, but this may be changed. The current plan for enabling self-reference is Pin<&mut T>, but the exact semantics for how and when putting a &mut T in a wrapper struct makes it not invalidate self-reference and incoming pointers, is still not specified.)

I've heard statements that addr_of_mut! is an interim API, and the situation may be improved with &raw and unsafe-deref syntax (https://faultlore.com/blah/fix-rust-pointers/). But I expect a production systems language to be an improvement upon C/C++'s usability in their strongest domains out of the box (much like how Send/Sync as marker types not creating UB beyond C++ makes threading more tractable, and enums are superior to std::variant). Instead today's Rust pointer rules redefines swathes of C and C++'s use cases and design patterns as undefined behavior, and the alternative approaches are ugly to express in safe code (Cell/RefCell), and easy to get wrong and tricky and ugly to get right in unsafe code (see my playground), with the promise that they were trying to make programming easier and are trying to create a suitable replacement someday down the line (7 years and counting after Rust 1.0).

It reminds me of C++'s long-running object lifetime saga (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/lifetime, https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp_questions/comments/dfglt2), but I've never had to deal with this mess directly, unlike Rust object graphs.

Few employers will give anything but vague reasons for not hiring -- "Not a good fit" or "We went with another candidate." Partly to avoid confrontation, and partly to avoid discrimination lawsuits. A couple of places I worked in a hiring capacity had seminars run by employment lawyers to tell us what we can and cannot say during an interview and afterwards. The lawyers will advise not saying anything critical of the candidate.

You can sometimes get more honest feedback if you go through a recruiter, but even then you probably won't get much.

Unless you have an inside contact probably best to move on.

The UK has requested that she be extradited. They refused. The first time ever the US has refused a UK extradition.

She has stated that she will not return on her own free will to face a prison sentence for this accident.

She had diplomatic immunity so clearly the US aren't going to send her back. And if you were her you wouldn't go back to go to prison. This is basically a show trial.

Saudi Arabia also has a legal system in which people were actually punished for the Killing. Plus his family was given lots of money as blood money.

Many more people died at modi's hands than MBS. There is no comparison.
> nonpolitical context

Humans talking to each other in a business setting (I'm assuming nobody in this thread is talking about casual conversations that happen outside of work) is inherently political. You are either positioning or being a passive onlooker. If a conversation is only filled with the latter then nothing can possibly get accomplished (which, to be fair, is not an uncommon outcome for a meeting).

> The greatest fallacy is assuming to know what people are actually thinking, without them saying it

Assuming everything people say is what they think seems to be an even greater fallacy, but I am going to choose not to turn it into a superlative.

If I sense lack of clarity and focus in your question, I will tend to provide extra context with my answer just to make sure you are not about to make a mistake.

If I sense you come with a very pointed, clear, relevant question or request, and I have a history of clear communication with you, I can trust a short/tight answer is enough.

But I agree with you on one thing, all things being equal, people who think and speak more clearly tend to also write (code, documentation, emails) clearly.

"Explore" is different than "colonize". Musk has been adamant that we "have" to colonize mars for "the survival of our species", meanwhile DART just proved that deflecting a meteor is a valid strategy, and we are all still choking on our own burned dinosaurs, a thing he seems to have no interest in fixing despite owning a damn solar panel company.
If you're a current Twitter employee and you dislike Musk, do no quit. Job market is super-tight and recession is coming like a freight train.

It doesn't matter how good you are, even if you find another job in today's market, you will have to take a haircut.
Forgiveness in the Bible is formalized as a cancelled debt: the act of forgiveness is when you decide to eat the cost of a debt owed (Matthew 18:21-35). I think forgiveness is mostly misunderstood by our society. It has several implications:

1. Forgiveness does not equate to trust or even reconciliation. If I lent you $1000 and you never paid me back, I might forgive your debt but will be much less inclined to trust you with my money in the future.

2. Forgiveness absolutely does not necessitate repentance of the perpetrator. In the Bible forgiveness is a necessity regardless of the situation because the Bible treats the inability of a Christian to forgive the ultimate hypocrisy (Matthew 6:14-15).

3. Wronging another person (or yourself - this might be far more common) does tangible harm to them. This harm is analogous to a financial debt owed. This debt is on the cosmic books so to speak: it's very real and must be dealt with either by forgiveness or retributive justice (or a combination of the two). Restorative justice is important but can't fix the original debt.

4. An apology no matter how sincere can't undo the debt either, it is usually impossible to make it right (unlike a financial debt which can be repaid). Society misses this at its own peril: forgiveness trumps apologies every time, this is the nature of wrongdoing. If anything we downplay how hard it is to make things right! As if a few well chosen words and humiliation could undo Will Smith's Slap? It can't work because it doesn't go back in time and change history to make the thing not happen!

5. Repentance makes it easier to forgive (it enables the victim and the perpetrator to meet in the middle), but it's always going to be hard to tell if repentance is genuine. See point 2.

I make music, and for that small communities like mastodon just don't work. In order to be heard and to grow a following, you need to be able to just be heard by a wide variety of people-- That visibility is exactly what sites now sell (nefariously and deceptively) as a commodity that often doesn't return the investment...

Paying to be viewed and heard (ads) is not cost effective for most artists.. It's almost always a scam, and it makes life as a musician even more impossible than it was prior to the Internet. You're better off now buying a billboard by the highway instead of trying to share free music on social media.

I think it's insane how limitedly people view the Internet, and how often it's only viewed only from one personal perspective at a time... Designers think from their personal perspective and that's it, there is only one success path and post format imposed on millions of people with these platforms.

This is Elon's problem right now too. He is trying to work out issues that suit his perspective, to the disappointment and dismay of many who those decisions will stump.

What the Internet needs is a community that separates big industry from independent creators (and that also does not charge people who are not making a profit to function), and also separates advertising from organic content They'd also need to police that heavily, just as much as illicit and negative content... That's the only social solution that will work moving forward. All these social platforms, like the metaverse seem to think that they can just build yet another shopping mall full of ads and then people will want to hang out there, and that won't work. Sites like facebook and Twitter were originally successful because they were free and equal for visibility, but as they try to tweak that, the same sites fall apart and fail. People are growing wise to the sites that begin the free to paid shopping mall conversion model.

People now want social sites and apps that help them to make money in simple and direct ways, and apps that free them from needing desk jobs, not sites that want to trap them into watching ads and spending money on big business products and services and scams like Crypto and NFTs. The app makers that don't get that will languish with weak user bases, and they will burn a lot of money in the process.
