> The thing is, basic algebra notation has two major advantages over ad-hoc operators in some Haskell library: (1) it is widely taught and understood and extremely widely applicable, and (2) each operator has a standard name that is widely explained.

> In contrast, most Haskell notation I've seen is either an ad-hoc invention for some library, or it is an ASCII version of notation in a niche domain like category theory.

But that's my point! When it was introduced, none of the symbology of school algebra satisfied condition (1) or (2); it was ad hoc (perhaps supported by some reasoning—as Reade's for the equal sign being two parallel lines, "than which no two things are more equal"—or perhaps not), and was found fully as abstruse and obfuscatory as you find symbolic operators in Haskell. Even Arabic numerals were thought a device for lies and deception, compared to good honest Roman numerals, when first introduced.) If we hadn't adopted those operators anyway, then we'd still be writing out all our equations in words as Tartaglia did, and our mathematics would be the poorer for it; had we stopped our notation earlier, we would still, as in pre-Arabic numeral times, send our children to special advanced schools to learn multiplication. New notation when first introduced is confusing and strange, but, once made commonplace, enables new thought, so that what was a niche domain becomes commonplace.

(For that matter, I'd disagree about (2). For example, there is a symbol called the vinculum that is used for many purposes in mathematics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinculum_(symbol)). Probably almost everyone has used that symbol for one of its meanings, but I'd argue that very likely almost no-one knows its name.)
Is it weird that I prefer the "before" shots in the video? The updated textures remind me of some much-worse first-person puzzle games I've attempted since Portal. Big turn-off. Wish they could have kept the original look with the updated visuals (whatever those are—I couldn't really tell, mostly just noticed the uglier textures).

Here's an example of effective startup PR that was followed by rapid growth (August 7 2019). Note how they get the tone just right: a big challenge, a dedicated leader, working around the clock:

In the three months since launching, it's turned over up to $200 million in daily volumes, allegedly KYC-ed 10,000 clients, and conducted its own token offering. It's perhaps little surprise, then, that CEO Sam Bankman-Fried answers the phone at 1:00 a.m. local time, still chained to his desk."

It's pretty easily explained, they think it's cool to say they are nonbinary, or pansexual, or genderfluid, or something along those lines. One popular/alpha kid says it and soon their entire clique gloms on. Adding to the allure for teens is that some adults find this shocking. They are not really committing to anything, and they know it. They're doing it for social karma. Teens have done this kind of thing forever.
> The idea of "men and women need to be segregated in certain places (particularly when nude) and must dress differently' is likely the cause of how prevalent transgender people have become.

Have you ever been a parent? Because males and females are different, and the sexual pressures on them are immensely different too, for both social and physical reasons. Similarly, sexual risk (to anyone, but especially children) is incredibly lopsided and comes almost entirely from males.

If you ignore sexual differences in other children you will let your children be mistreated, if you ignore sexual differences in adults you will get them molested.

> It was always an unsustainable system that was only allowed to flourish because a powerful minority wanted it to.

Pretty much all women know and are cautious, if not fearful, of male violence. They fought for women's sex-based rights because of obvious need. This isn't men putting women in purdah, these are protections they've achieved for themselves. Most men can see the extra work women have to do for safety reasons. The need for women's spaces is far from a minority opinion.

> Like are you a boy that relates primarily to women? Well you either endure being separated from them for a ton of meaningful developmental activities or you become transgender.

If you truly empathized with women you'd realized that your size and strength and biology makes you a risk that another woman wouldn't be and you'd socialize with women in mixed-sex areas and activities where your presence wasn't an undue burden.

> I think there are plenty of people who would be fine with their biological sex if it didn't come with so much societal baggage.

It's the physical baggage people are wrongly trying to ignore.
Yep, you can't rush good science. Neuralink will just be another company on the trash heap of failed ideas at the rate they're going right now.
Some years ago, I followed a YouTuber who did exactly this and it turned out he had no end of reliability issues with the bearings, wheels, and frame because it turns out pedal-powered trikes just aren't built for the significantly higher speeds and weight of a motor-powered trike, especially when used for multi-mile trips as a daily commuter.

Range was not great either, due to the extra weight of the wooden box he made to hold everything but the rest probably applies to many lower-end two-wheeled bikes too.

I suspect this is the reason that most higher-end electric bikes more closely resemble electric motorcycles than bikes, in terms of wheel size and frame build.

Coal kills 25 people per TWh generated (vs 0.03 for Nuclear - somewhere between wind and solar). Coal deaths translate to about 5 Chernobyl's per year (assuming the UNSCEAR 4000 deaths number) in the United States alone. Unlike nuclear power, coal is also responsible for spreading nuclear waste around the countryside because coal contains uranium and thorium that's concentrated in the ash left over after it's burned. [1]

[edit] > Fly ash uranium sometimes leaches into the soil and water surrounding a coal plant, affecting cropland and, in turn, food. People living within a "stack shadow"—the area within a half- to one-mile (0.8- to 1.6-kilometer) radius of a coal plant's smokestacks—might then ingest small amounts of radiation. Fly ash is also disposed of in landfills and abandoned mines and quarries, posing a potential risk to people living around those areas. [1]

Waste from nuclear plants is nice and contained in neat little bundles that are monitored, safe and if you're worried, can be put into Yucca Mountain.

[edit] btw, Yucca Mountain is conveniently located next to the Nevada Test Site, where the US tested many nuclear weapons, mostly underground, from 1957 to 1992. NTS contains some of the most radioactive land areas in the world. So at least you can be confident knowing you're putting the new spicy rocks in with the rest of them. [2]

However, nuclear waste is very much a non-issue.

Seems like an interesting idea, I wouldn't be surprised if someone was working on it already.

On the other hand, if everything is generated procedurally, nothing really is. Save for few parasocial interactions, for most players it would feel.. empty. No Man's Sky is a great example of procedural emptiness. Yes, the worlds are generated fully, you can land anywhere and explore the whole planet one by one, but why would you. Save for some hand-designed structures the worlds are just uninteresting, see one part of it and you've seen all. Same thing would probably happen with AIs. As soon as player knows none of it has human touch in it, that it was generated all algoritmically, it loses a part of its soul, not to be too poetic.

The use I'd love for it would be fully interactable tutorials. Just came back to a game after half a year? Just ask the tutorialGPT to tell me the controls and outline the story and we're set. Who was that guy? What does this item do? Can't imagine the AI would have too much of a problem with answering those questions, if given the game script.

For those of you on long breaks or have been unemployed for a 6+ months, what do you do with all your spare time? I resigned from my position in Jan 2022 and have been developing a computer game in C++ as a way to level up my programming skill and release it as an (eventually) paid product. The process has been very satisfying and I am learning a lot. I keep to a 9-5, Monday-Friday schedule and treat it like a job.

I have a some life events coming up next year so I have started to turn the gears on my network and contacts but I am pretty much only interested in consulting and contract jobs that can be worked remotely. Right now, I primarily see it as a means to raise some cash, so I can make the occasional splurge purchase. I have honestly thought of doing DoorDash.

Someone in the thread talked about the importance of a runway and I totally agree. I spent 6 years doing a STEM PhD and about 6 years working in industry on okay but not great salaries and even at that rate I have a runway of about 10+ years of savings before I run out of money (living frugal).

After my last job I think I promised myself to never just take a job because I am offered or out of prestige - I am turning mid-30's and I feel like I can't waste anymore time just doing time - i.e. waging for a paycheck without a higher purpose.

This causes tension with my partner and probably my future father-inlaw doesn't like me but long term I intend to be my own boss and run my own company. Especially since the pandemic I feel increasingly the urge and need to be the master of my own destiny - especially with regards to income.

> There's no need for convoluted explanations.

I don't see how it's at all convoluted. If anything, it's too reductive.

Taboos, traditions, etc., don't need to exist because of a reason that's explicit. Sometimes, they do, but that doesn't explain the taboos that don't make obvious sense. A taboo can be more or less a form of "cultural neuron" that doesn't have an explicit purpose but incidentally changes the balance of the system towards something that society at a given time may benefit from without even knowing it. A religion featuring more ornate hats than others may have more true believers, or perhaps the other way around for all we know. If that's at least plausible, if not true, that wouldn't necessarily mean a reverend at one point decided to declare a certain kind of hat wearing because of the "good of the church."

The inverse can also be true. Take for instance the taboo of sexism. Makes sense, right? Given modern western principles, why should culture allow for discrimination based on sex? On the other hand, there's evidence that many women, regardless of their political positions, actually appreciate men who are "benevolently sexist." It's a phenomenon compelling enough that even Psychology Today, a publication heavily biased against anything unflattering to women, has reported on it more than once. By making sexism a taboo, and far more taboo as of late, society has raised the bar for just how confident a man has to be to attract a woman. We really don't need a study to demonstrate that, on average, women are attracted to confidence. An effect of making sexism taboo is it changes the signal to noise ratio, allowing women to better identify which men they'll actually be attracted to. Maybe there were some people arguing against sexism with this in mind, but I imagine they are an extreme minority. Most anti-sexists probably weren't thinking along those lines.

At least that taboo makes some reasonable sense in isolation, and even the fashion of religious garb can be made sense of, but what about a taboo that makes no sense? What about merely making a mouth-noise that comes out sounding like "shit?"

It makes little explicit sense that saying the word "shit" be a faux pas. You can say poop, doodie, scat, dung, and even crap, but shit is considered a curse word. It's really pretty stupid.

Except I would argue that having any form of taboo can have a positive effect, even if it barely makes sense. By having cultural limits of any kind, it puts the society on the same page and creates a mindset where individuals try to at least maintain some level of basic class as a mindset. Personally, I like saying the word shit, but adding virtually any variable to a chaotic system can have effects that weren't explicitly predicted.

And nuclear waste getting out (which has to my knowledge never happened and caused harm) is also a result of crappy engineering practice and isn't a property of nuclear power. The risk of such is similarly a 2nd or third order consequence of a nuclear power plant's existence, alongside orthagonal circumstances.

It's more like you can't actually read but you've seen a lot of media about cars that contain text saying they have a thing called a "width" around the 1.7-2m mark and usually aren't round numbers. So when someone asks you how wide a 2011[1] Ford Focus is[2], you say "1,769mm" and look confident. Syntactically right and by any probabilistic model, pretty good and plausible.

[1] and if you ask for 2012, it tells you "I'm sorry, but I am not able to browse the internet to provide you with the specific dimensions of the 2012 Ford Focus."

[2] according to Google results, it's 1823 mm to 1842 mm.

That seems to be correct. My understanding (IANAL) of Schrems II is that the problem exists when a EU datacenter is under the direct or indirect control of a US company. Indirect in this case meaning operated by a EU company that is the subsidiary of a US company, as is the case with AWS, Google and Microsoft.

Since the EU datacenters seem to be operated by EU companies and the US company is merely a sibling subsidiary of Ensoxx, which itself is also an EU company, this should provide sufficient isolation to prevent interference from US agencies short of direct sabotage or espionage (since the EU staff is not in the chain of command of the US company).

So for a definitive answer you probably want your lawyers to talk to Hetzner's lawyers but at face value this is at least miles ahead of any US-based cloud provider, which in all honesty is still the default solution for most EU-based companies despite this ruling.

It might be less efficient for the few consumers who do want custom colors, but it is by far more efficient for the rest of consumers and the company to limit their color choices. Their manufacturing processes aren't set up to do very small runs of specific colors, and for those premium brands that do offer custom colors, the further away from the standard offering you go, the more you pay. Custom colors on some of the premium brands can easily run into the thousands of dollars, largely because they're doing effectively what I suggested -- doing a custom paint job towards the end or after assembly.

Not to mention that even supporting the pipeline of being able to order custom colors, with all the logistics that entails after manufacture, might not be something the manufacturers want to support.

Outside of that DPC model others mention, it's very difficult for doctors to do.

And while most people think of going to a doctor's office - family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, or OB/GYN - as what doctors do, they're actually a minority of doctors, and OB/GYN's do a lot of their work in the hospital. Some of us - I'm an anesthesiologist, but also radiologists, pathologists, critical care doctors, and so forth - don't have a clinic at all. Nobody's going to pay me a monthly or yearly fee, and establishing a billing relationship that doesn't involve insurance would be a real nightmare.

Hazard: The rim strip on the tires can be misaligned, causing the tube to pop and damage the tire. Additionally, the tires with a ribbed sidewall can unexpectedly go flat, risking serious injuries from loss of control and/or crash.

This is something a beginner can repair. This is normal stuff for those who ride bikes and don't go to a shop for little repairs. Replacing a tube (and fixing it with a small vulcanizing kit) is biking 101, and there they're not even expecting you to repair that. Just check how to replace the tube of a wheel in a youtube video and while at it, check if your strip needs alignment. Tyres often go flat but you normally feel that something is off because it feels "smeary".

The warning is just for those who are not the slightest bit technically inclined and don't feel like doing any of this. To avoid lawsuits.

I bet in the Netherlands any 10 year old kid could check if your wagon is affected and if it is, align the strip.
