Anarchism has an actual political meaning, with lots of literature.

Terrorism isn't a consistent ideological position. People don't openly advocate for what they self describe as terrorist states, terrorist literature and philosophy, terrorist thinkers and political party. There's no terrorist bookstore, but here in SF I can go down to Haight St and find an anarchist bookstore ...

On the other hand I think terrorist is an appropriate description for a Timothy McVeigh or a Kaczynski. I would say those are more violent than most 19th-20th century political anarchists.
populations differ in how well they can handle booze. this has been known since Roman times; various authors wrote how the Germans were more prone to alcoholism than Latins, an ethnic difference that persists to this day.

native americans have it particularly bad, and have for centuries. colonist traders exploited it for profit, missionaries tried to stamp it out, Indian leaders often campaigned to keep rum out of their territories, etc.
Evolution prepared us for nomadic life, not this life. Do take a look at "The Old Way." How children are in a nomadic tribe; and our experience of what children are like is way, way different. They're better company, more mature, more useful, and vastly "better behaved" because they're not struggling constantly to compensate for weird raising conditions.
> in China, I don't think they can just declare eminent domain over someone's business

Beijing can absolutely just seize a business. Disappearing leadership [1], installing Party Board members [2], promoting Party management members (a requirement for any business of consequence [3]) and simply taking assets are commonplace in China.

Eminent domain doesn’t really exist because the legal system is subservient to the Party [4]. If the CCP wants something, it takes it; it doesn’t need court permission.

And Google developed LaMDA model (superior to chatGPT) a lot of time before OpenAI, additionally without their research into transformers and publishing results, OpenAI would probably not even have ChatGPT now/yet.
Yep! These days we just trust influencers... at least they've got some skin in the game (as in their reputation).
Causing trouble could just be vandalism or wanton destruction of property. Terrorism requires more than just destruction of property[0].

Related: You can use the Fossil bug tracker as a generic SQLite table. You can modify the interface for any type of input. While you can edit the schema if you want to use it as a traditional SQL database, I've found it easiest to treat one of the text columns as JSON and do queries on that.

The advantages: You get a web interface for free (using CGI) if you want one, it's distributed and version controls your database automatically. You can view reports graphically, at the command line, or from any other app that read an SQLite database. And in terms of stability, since Fossil is developed by the SQLite project, you can be confident that it'll be maintained for the rest of your life.

The terrible twos (2-4 yrs) is a challenge as your little monster(s) learn civilized behavior. Then all is good until they become rebellious teenagers glued to their phone and think you know nothing. At long last they will go off to college (or the military) and eventually return as adults. Finally they will have kids of their own and you will be laughing at them and enjoying your grandkids who you can send home when you need a break. PS Looking back this will all have happened in the blink of an eye.

Epigenetics is not fringe science - you inherit the methylation patterns from your parents' genes. Two people with the same genes can (in principle) have very different methylation patterns & thus differences in gene expression that result in changes in behaviour.

I am an experienced "industry professional" C++ programmer and I tried ChatGPT and Stackoverflow and found it impressing and entertaining, but I don't know how these two platforms would be helpful for my work. I never use them.

When I need to solve a problem I must read the (API's) docs and I must understand it. It would be dangerous and buggy if I would copy 'n paste code from somewhere. I don't think it would even work.

I also can learn from high quality examples by following it and understanding the details. But Stackoverflow is full of questions that feel like someone was too lazy or does not have the skills to read the manual.

But maybe these platforms are good for learning? I am not sure if ChatGPT and SO are good tools to learn to program. Maybe people learn more when they take the time to find a solution by themselves.
There's probably a sampling bias for SO that means higher quality than the average code from GitHub (what it was trained on).

> What happened to agree to disagree?

I’ll agree to disagree with you about how best we spend our tax dollars. I’ll agree to disagree with you about the right strategy to tackle climate change. I’ll agree to disagree with you about what infrastructure projects we prioritize or how we distribute foreign aid.

What I won’t “agree to disagree” about is that LGBTQ people deserve not to be discriminated against. I won’t agree to disagree about whether trans people should be accepted for who they are or if we should follow the broad scientific consensus on how to help people with gender dysohoria feel comfortable as themselves.

An agreement to disagree is, ultimately, a reinforcement and protection of the status quo and when the status quo is deeply cruel to certain people in our country, I have no need or desire to pretend that we’re having a mere policy disagreement.

> Why does every feature of every living thing have to have an evolutionary explanation?

This phrasing implies the premise is true, which I don't agree with, so I am going to tackle 3 related questions:

- Why does /any phenomenon/ require explanation?

Because we are curious, and want to know how and why things do what they do. Answers lead to more questions, to more answers, in a loop of learning

- Why do all biological phenomena need an evolutionary explanation?

Because outside of artificial selection, natural selection is the only causal mechanism (outside of pure chance). Mitosis, Miosis, and Mutation are the building blocks.

But much of that boils down to, "why is x the way it is? Because chance". which is not very interesting, which leads to...

- Why does bee sting suicide in particular warrant an explanation?

Because under a naive understanding of evolution, it is a paradox. Also, there was a time when proto-hymenoptera were not eusocial, so how did they become eusocial? Those are really interesting problems to look at.

You are right in pointing out that pop-sci evolutionary handwavy explanations are a problem. But I don't think that is common in the broad science in biology.
We missed an opportunity when we didn’t call it “cerfing the net”
I've had the same reaction to that word, until I actually looked it up and it's more about you care about something so much you're willing to suffer for it. Soo... a little different than the colloquial version. I still dislike it and think it's overused, but am now slightly more comfortable if people describe me as "passionate".
It's not an issue of the template that you use or the CTAs that you include. These emails are always useless noise. I don't need a welcome message from the CEO or check-ins to solicit feedback.

I specifically dislike it when they sent emails persistently with content along the line of "Maybe you have not seen my previous email?"

The second reason that I do a report-spam is when google cannot automatically unsubscribe and a browser tab opens and I should type an email address and confirm.

I read the article and didn’t feel it was adequately addressed.
Oh yeah I totally agree, I don’t know how to define personal data (and I didn’t mean to presume to state one), especially whenever it involves someone else, and I think you might be right about whether the property concept is useful. I also think it’s really problematic to aim for the ability to revoke information we’ve chosen to share publicly. This concept piece doesn’t quite say that explicitly, it says you should be able revoke access to your vault, and that there should be information that can only be accessed through the vault (not copied), so effectively adds up to enough control to make private information that was previously shared. Some people are getting the idea that information that has been made public (even by themselves) should be revocable. We’ve never had that ability in history before, and information that’s “public” falls outside the bounds of this paper (because public information can be legally copied). Still, it’s an interesting debate and I think we’re going to see these paradoxes start to resolve with better and better reasoning. I’m glad it’s being debated even if there’s no solution yet.
Sure. So enough wood to keep that room warm 12 hours a day for a month suddenly became enough wood to keep that room warm 24 hours a day for two weeks. The family that happened to put in a months supply two weeks before the storm started only had enough for one week of full time fires, and that ran out days ago. (The suburban european houses with a fireplace I know are more likely to burn it a few hours each day, which makes their month of wood worth only a few days of full reliance).

Oh yes. Holidays are super exhausting now, but the kid is worth it. I also find work to be intellectually stimulating and relaxing, so not doing it is sort of taxing. I’m really lucky in this regard, having it the other way would be much worse.

Pointing at flaws in Western journalism is a red herring. Using it as a whataboutist talking point is a favorite these days of dictatorships and their apologists.

No, it's not 'the question' whether it's easier or harder to spot the 'lies' of Western journalism. That has no bearing whatsoever on the obvious, cut and dry reason for the underreporting of covid deaths in China.

But it is worth pointing out that, unlike the "news" propaganda organs of dictatorships, Western journalism is in no sense a monolith that speaks with one voice. Not even mainstream media in the US speaks with one voice (because yes, Fox is the MSM too). So while it may require a bit more sophistication to pick out truths, it is at least not a one-sided distortion of history in favor of the rulers.
A 1GbE switch with 8 ports needs to be built with 8Gb throughput (Alice talks to Bob at 1GbE AND Bob talks to Alice at 1GbE, and all such combinations).

A 1GbE WiFi signal only needs to have 1GbE throughput.

What home users need is a 10GbE hub. 10GbE connections between devices but really only one at a time.

Switches are overbuilt for home user purposes. I don't think anyone will notice that Alice takes up the channel and that Bob has to wait his turn.

In fact, that's how WiFi works and most people don't even notice.

That paper also seems to heavily qualify the findings, implying that environmental factors may dominate genetic ones (or may not, the point is that we don't know):

However, these loci explain only a small proportion of the genetic variance. The “missing heritability” may be explained by other genetic mechanisms and gene*environment interactions

Certain types of companies in Sweden are actually legally obligated to put profits before shareholders (Sweden considers co-ops and commandites not-for-profits though). Even in those, there is a lot of freedom of movement in how to conduct the business (assuming they do not codify that too in their charter).
I have no children, but I wonder if my father felt the way you do.

We never wanted for anything, and he was always present, but my father kept us busy away from him as kids. Now that we’re grown up he doesn’t understand why we don’t want to spend much time with him, but always make time for our mother, stepfather and grandparents. There’s love, but the closeness just isn’t there.

It never felt like my father wanted to spend time with us or if he did it was time limited and on his terms. I think it irreparably damaged our relationship. He seemed more interested when we were teenagers, but teenagers generally aren’t that interested in hanging out with their parents.

I'm guessing it depends on the situation, but at what point does all of that become more work than just writing the tests and code yourself? Is it worth the "investment" to learn how to teach ChatGPT coding? Or will ChatGPT2 come out in six months, based on a different algorithm, and you'll back to square one teaching it over again?

Personally, I find writing new code easier than editting existing code, regardless of how it's written. I'd much rather have an AI that scans the code I write and searches for bugs

Writing code is easy, finding bugs is hard, and it's the finding of bugs that I'd like to see automated.

Wonder not passion.
More notifications increased satisfaction by a small amount as well - when dissatisfied users like me deleted our accounts because of them. Technically, overall satisfaction increased by removing us from the survey population.
Eh, not quite. There is an important distinction here in how it actually works.

The Bitcoin chain difficulty is essentially the number of random lottery tickets ‘issued’ for a given block (size of hash space hashes will be generated in).

The first miner to get a winning lottery ticket wins the block rewards. (Each hash being a ‘ticket’). The space is typically insanely large, think 10’s of trillions.

Sometimes that happens really fast, sometimes it takes a long time. The difficulty (number of tickets) adjusts at periodic intervals to keep the average winning frequency at around 5 minutes based on the current quantity of hashing, but the actual win rate varies a lot.

So cutting actual hash power in half (by taking half of miners off line) gives any single miner remaining twice the odds of getting a block reward. But it will likely take twice as long hashing, and the blocks will mine about half the speed of usual (think 10 mins avg instead of 5), unless the difficulty resets.
It's small, fast, and doesn't have a GIL lock, so concurrent executions are trivial.
That's old hat. It's called package on package. Used in phones for many years.
The Arctic Convoys: Inside the Second World War’s Gruelling Polar Naval Campaign
It isn't one business though, it is/was ~40% of the hashrate, spread across the entire country, run by who knows how many operations. We're talking about tens of thousands of computers and hundreds of megawatts of power.

It is one thing to take it over and shut it down, but a whole another thing to keep it running. It isn't like the people running it will just suddenly want to work for a new (hostile) boss. Like I said before, this stuff isn't trivial to run. You don't just plug a box in and call it good.

Personally, I have no interest in cruise ships. I get seasick pretty easily and they seem somewhat unsanitary. But $300,000 for 144 months works out to ≈$2,083/month. If you consider cruise ships to be a luxury, and that cruise ship has good enough internet for work, that's really not a bad deal.

This sounds about right.

It may also help you to find related areas to study. I was throwing rocket optimization problems at ChatGPT and it was horrible, but I think it was finding some related code from vehicle navigation optimization problems which I found interesting.

It does reasonably well at simple kinds of symbol manipulation and might be able to replace matlab/mathematica at some point, but the problem is that you always have to double-check the results. I'm not sure it is really that much better than just knowing your way around wikipedia (which has its own accuracy issues, but for straightforward things it is usually pretty good).
Ensure that we don't get pointless notifications that exist only to increase engagement and have these on by default. Take advantage of feelings of fomo. You ever actually go turn off notifications? They have obscure names and there's tons of them in some apps. I don't want to waste time and energy fighting back apps constantly. Healthy defaults to start with

2. What if the Curse Line goes bankrupt ? He looses the balance ?

3. Taxes, will be liable for taxes, and what about working while in another Country ? In many places that is illegal.

4. Medical ? That could be an issue too.

> Agreed 100% and framing it as vandalism feels like a disservice from the reporting.

The difference between vandalism and domestic terrorism, in this case, is intent. Since the reporters don't know the intent, calling it domestic terrorism would be speculation, which we need less of in reporting. Sticking to the facts is important.
