Who says that Q&A in Psychological Research doesn't involve "Experiments, measures, validity, reliability, testing, falasification, hypotheses, properties and their degrees...."

?

Where are you coming from? Your responses don't sound very scientific. You don't sound like you're even aware of the different research methods within neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Your responses sound like someone who wants to be perceived as supporting a scientific approach, but doesn't understand how to actually do these things.

This is why I quized you and gave you the chance to respond about your issues with Q&A in psychological research. You just came back with surface level platitudes. which doesn't lend much confidence to the ideathat you have anything other prejudice.

Go talk to a neuroscientist, a cognitive psychologist, you need to catch up and quick if you want to speak on these topics.

There are some good paragraphs here but this is mostly overwrought. The piece buries what I think the essential truth of the series is: most of the mature relationship and political context Andor pulls in is just texture and good storytelling.

What Andor does well is make the various cartoony facets of the Star Wars universe seem real. The "Empire" in Andor isn't just evil in the abstract, it's evil in a familiar way. Andor grapples directly with genocide as a real thing, it tries to render the banality of that evil on screen, and then you realize that Lucas portrayed genocide on an even grander scale in the first movie and it was hard to even notice it for what it was? ANH's genocide was literally a Bond villain trope.

But that doesn't make Andor coherently political; it just makes it more grounded. The blasters in Andor are the first in any Star Wars IP that seemed lethal; the TIE fighter that buzzes pseudo-Trotsky and pseudo-Lenin on Aldhani actually felt dangerous; the economy of the mining world seemed like it produced something other than pod races and cantinas; Cassian actually might hook up with people, &c &c &c. It's just decent storytelling. Like, this is one of the very few bits of Star Wars IP where it's clear that goal #1 was "make a good movie".

The rest of Star Wars has been utterly cursed with fan service since the first showing of ANH.

So anyways this review has me when it uses Andor to shine a light on just how stupid the rest of Star Wars is, and loses me when it tries to draw extra meaning out of Andor itself.

Andor is good, by the way, definitely watch it.

"Loves freedom" isn't as clear of a maximum of utility as it's sometimes made out to be. Again, the association with those of high reactance strong.

I'm fully aware that there will be attempts to naturalize "freedom loving." That's the interesting thing about psychology and I suppose in this case sociology, particulars are often universalized into a neurosis. It's funny how this pattern holds.

Luna was great. The character being straightforward, with not much emotional intelligence at all adds a lot to the atmosphere. He is a traumatised soldier with only a few people to care for, not a gun slinging comedic hero like most of his counterparts in the franchise. Him being still likeable and interesting, and those few small steps he took towards taking part in a rebellion was the best aspect of the season.
If everything is managed by the package manager, there is a database of files that are installed, and assuming the package manager works correctly it shouldn't create any problems. I use installations made 10 years ago and they are perfectly fine!

Different is for software that is not installed by the package manager, that in Linux is typically installed in /usr/local (if we talk about stuff that is compiled, or installed by another package manager such as pip or npm) or to /opt (for proprietary applications distributed as a binary).

It looks like an interesting programming language (and the support for multiprocessing looks exciting). However I haven't heard of it used in any large projects that I'm aware of. Some of the packages that would be useful for the projects I might want to work on are years of date, although that could just be selection bias. (But, gtk bindings? Am I missing something?)

Is it more of a research language as opposed to a "making applications" developer language? Can someone provide a little background?
> The Einstein of this generation, the Nicolaus Copernicus of the 21st century

I don't recall either of those individuals being CEOs, billionaires, or owning a big company at all.

I'm not seeing much sense in the rest of this post either. The concept of attributing everything Facebook does to Zuckerberg is flawed in the first place. Most big social media corporations to the same, including Google (which has copied many of the same things, e.g. Tiktok with Youtube Shorts) or even Reddit. I would say that this likely has nothing to do with Zuckerberg's personality and more to do with social media trying to maximize the user's attention on the website, and therefore congregating all the features of other websites for themselves.

If anything, I'd say Facebook is going off the beaten road by investing into this "metaverse", which to me (and most people I've talked to) seems like a waste of time and money, but they're trying to do something with it anyways.

> I think a major pro of browsers serving content in a limited markup language ..... is that a variety of applications can realistically work with rendering them.

I couldn't help but think of Gemini[0,1] and the number of applications already built for it[2] precisely because of the limited language. Gemini is an exciting space for lovers of a safer and lightweight internet.

It becomes clear that when rendering (and feature-bloat) are reduced, development begins to thrive. The Lagrange browser[3] is a great example of rendering not being an issue which gives developers time to build a great browser. For anyone curious, check it out to see what I mean: portable versions are available on Windows and Linux (appImage).

I have to admit that textual-markdown (OP) has me feeling the same way. I've been using command line browsers (on/off) for decades (since DOS). I don't know if I've ever seen a text-based browser look so beautiful. Wish the author the motivation and passion to keep this project going. I think it has great potential.

No, it isn’t. The current state of affairs in England (even Scotland and Wales have different regulations) only causes misery and an immense waste of resources on housing. Or do you think Germans or Frenchmen spend 3 months a year doing house viewings?
Nowhere in the civilised world you can evict a family that doesn’t have rent arrears and nowhere in the civilised world you have a homelessness problem comparable to the English (maybe San Francisco being the exception).

People are not any different from transformer models in this regard even if they are well-intentioned. Every time there is a physics or finance thread on HN, a lot of well meaning software engineers transformer out absolute nonsense with all of the same "confident, language that signals an intelligent author, completely wrong" qualities that we see in these AIs.
That's also about how much you give to others. I find that if I am at my 'normal' energy level I receive few reciprocal invitations. But if I deliberately give off 'high-energy' it's like people have found a button which they can press to have fun, and I receive nothing but invitations. The thing is, it's generally not fun for me to be high-energy.

Unfortunately managers rarely have incentives to do it. Why invest in being more objective if it lowers the perceived value of your successes? Your bullshitting peer that isn't doing this will get promoted instead of you.

It can also be hard to even understand what are you sacrificing and why.

our oldest (15) didnt get a phone until about 13. Middle (10) has an apple watch for the phone function, 7 year old doesnt have a phone. They all have macbooks, ipads, etc.

our internet goes on for them at 6am, turns off at 7am. They have to be dressed, ready for school, brushed teeth etc, before they start at 6am. I have never had to wake my kids up for school in their lives.

They get internet again at night from 7:30-8:30 once all their work is done (reading a chapter in a book, math one grade level higher, foreign language, music). They function as a team so they all need to be done before any of them can start doing electronics.

When I was a kid (12-17) I was addicted to one of the first online graphical role playing games in the country (80s PLATO system - avatar). My dad was a CS professor so I had easy access to the network terminals. He would never have one in our house as he had phd students drop out as a result of being addicted to the game. He constantly reminded me it was better to write the game than to be addicted to the games.

https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/11/game-124-avatar-1979...

At some point I just outgrew them and I periodically try to play them, but they are so shallow compared to real life I cant get addicted again.

I think as long as kids have plenty of "real life" activities that they love, they will be able to enjoy the internet in moderation.

The kids that really struggle are the ones whose parents dont help them to cultivate real world passions and success so they just spend all their free time online.

> Binance did $40 billion in volume in the last 24 hours.

> Even if their effective fee is only 1/100 of a percent that's $4 million.

It's not.

The reason? They "traded" fictitious currencies whose "value" is pure speculation and nonsense. Their fees are also denominated in these fictitious currencies.

However, neither the offices they rent nor the people they employ have any interest in these, because rent and salaries are paid in something that actually has value: the dollar.

Now, where does the actual money come from is a good question, but I'm too lazy to read their SEC filing.

Seems like less regulation and less government leads to greater efficiency. The rich get richer often because of government loopholes. Carried interest is a simple one but in the 77,000+ pages of the tax code the rich have the resources to use lawyers and accountants to avoid paying taxes. Anyone getting a W2 has very limited wiggle room on avoiding the tax bite.

Yes. If the input is bounded in a narrow range compared to the length if the input, it seems like it should actually be a bit slower than normal, since the first few passes may do nothing and the later passes will need to be run on more of the input than normal. We're using it for arrays of doubles that have fairly small exponents though, and this causes us to have lots of empty buckets in the first pass, and it performs well enough.

They way I overcame that is by realizing that working out is essential to my mental health. I wanted to level up my baseline of overall well-being so that my worst days are not that bad. Which means I can bounce quickly from setbacks. Where in the past I'd have recurring periods where find myself spiraling downwards.

Working out keeps me sharp at work which is cognitivly demanding and requires high levels of creativety and problem solving. From that angle, I take it seriously as core part of my day and my identity.

Overtime I started to enjoy doing hard thing in and of itself. Which is changing my life beyond what I could imagine.

> The blasters in Andor are the first in any Star Wars IP that seemed lethal

Andor did a good job with it, but I'd credit The Mandalorian for pioneering that. Much of it thanks to the audio FX and sound editing—it made the blaster bolts seem a lot more like real, physical, violent and dangerous things than the "pew pew!" of most of the rest.

If we need to resort to demand shaping (read: turning off the power) then the cost of that needs to be accounted for. If you only run your smelters, chemical industries, etc. for part of the year then the cost of those commodities, and by extension every product using those commodities, gets more expensive. Increasing the cost of steel by 30% because we can't power our arc furnaces all year round is a massive cost that isn't captured when you just look at levelized cost of generation.

While solid advice, working out everyday can lead to overtraining. Happened to me and it’s not fun. Doing some yoga every day: yes. Heavy squats: no, please no.
Not even close. That rich person had servants, could go on lengthy vacations, etc. and most likely they had substantial passive income.

The key thing to understand is the difference in how precarious those situations are: that affluent suburbanite has some shiny things but their cash flow is much higher than their wealth. A TV in every room is a rounding error on the $11k/year each of those new cars costs on average, and over the course of someone’s working life that kind of thing makes a huge difference in net worth.

The American healthcare system factors into this significantly: if your income depends on showing up to work daily, all of that can go away with a single health incident which leaves you unable to work. A truly rich person is considerably more likely to be able to ride something like that out.

Similarly, retirement is a source of stress for many Americans. Having given mortgage processors and car companies millions of dollars over your life won’t help you much then.
