> Some examples of papers that have zero value are papers testing hypotheses nobody is interested about

I broadly agree with you, but this point is probably mistaken in an illuminating way. The path to breakthrough science sometimes passes through uninteresting work. Few scientists were interested in natural selection before Darwin and his contemporary. There are many other examples.
A piece of plastic cut to that shape from a flexible chopping board or plastic milk jug works well too.
>Humans existed a long time before proper technology development, and those humans were just as intelligent as modern ones. The ability to create technology is not a requirement for higher intelligence.

Is that actually true? In cases of feral or severely neglected children who lack any exposure to human language, isn't there an impediment that prevents them learning more complex language later in life that exceeds anything that could be attributed to reduced brain development due to nutrition?

World wide hasn't intelligence been increasing, and while part of that is due to better nutrition, another part is due to better childhood conditions to enable intelligence? Exposures to the technology of language, written language, and similar at a young age seem to lead to an increased capacity for intelligence later in life.
Supreme thank you!

Honestly a good espresso machine. Obviously it's not the best of the best, I'm not a coffee snob/expert, but spending $800 on a mid-tier breville espresso machine is miles ahead of the $100 espresso machine I tried a couple years ago. It's just so much more convenient to be able to make a decent tasting hot or iced latte at home vs. going to get one.

Maybe some day I will really get into espresso and get $3000 machines and $1000 grinders, but who knows.
Yeah there's strategies to help ease a bad pull at the slot machine, but it's still a slot machine. Remember the 2008 crash? Lots of people got rich in the lead-up to that, and the people who paid for their gains were the people who had to cash out their chips during the following decade for whatever reason. The people running the market won, as they always will.

Trend last few years is PRC closing gap and approaching parity in indicators like GDP (already exceeded by PPP), % of global gdp / trade, science and innovation indexes, value chain upgrades etc. Even PRC military development and diplomacy is sufficient to get countries hedge / not commit to US alignment, which was unthinkable 10+ years ago. IMO US will find it difficult to maintain relative "lead" when, in the words of state department, "China is the only country with the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to seriously challenge" US order. That said, I think US has headroom via dictating economic and geopolitics within her relatively wealthy bloc and grow at the expense of others.

>It is unknown whether the CCP can survive any meaningful slowdown in growth and whether much of the growth of the last 10-15 years (enormous empty cities) was substantive or useful at all.

Western fixation with PRC real estate waste as proxy indicator of China (econ) collapse is particularly stupid. It's like suggesting US who spends ~20% of GDP on healthcare (approximately PRC real estate) with suboptimal result is spinning development wheels. Same with PRC wasting a few trillion in suboptimal real estate when significant (majority) resources being invested to bring up other (above) indictators that has substantively contributed more to PRC "comprehensive national power". Like US isn't initiating unprecented PRC containment policies because of a bunch of empty of housing units.

Convincing the electorate of most things is just a matter of marketing, for better or worse. You’d be surprised how many former PR and marketing execs now work in DC think tanks and as lobbyists and political consultants.

Coca Cola has made and kept its fortune by successfully associating a syrup that is bad for you with Pure Happiness.

Marketing, media exposure, and subliminal messaging both turned Americans completely against weed from the 70s-2000s and then also now completely in support of weed legalization in the past decade.

Similarly, as we’re seeing play out today, the right has found success marketing the “danger” of drag queens to turn political opinion against the LGBTQ community, which itself gained overwhelmingly acceptance in the face of once-overwhelming disapproval by powerful self-determination and taking control of how they were portrayed in the media.

The same forces that convince people en masse to buy a certain brand can just as easily be used to affect how we view any political issue.
• Instant pot with air fryer hat ($150) is now the primary use I have for my kitchen. I rarely buy processed food, and I rarely use a stove. Microcontrollers on pots, man.

• Decent running shoes ($180). My entire wellbeing is better thanks to them.
Look at the most recent republican immigration bill - it was basically canada's or australia's immigration system. The electorate very much wants to keep skilled, legal immigration going.

I'd extend a bit more sympathy to farmers. When they purchased the land, they were also purchasing bundled water rights; land without the related water rights would have been a fraction of the price. And the property, inheritance, etc taxes they pay on the value of the land are assessed at a price that includes those rights. And all of a sudden when those rights become much more valuable, people want to take it from them?

It's a bitter pill to swallow, particularly when the farmer (not without reason) sees it as an attack on their way of life.

This theory is wrong and it is easy to see why. Rates of homelessness are not correlated with "life choices" or "events" at all. Mental illness rates don't vary much geographically and they don't correlate with homelessness. Same with drug abuse and disease. However housing costs are very strongly correlated with homelessness.

Great book on the subject: https://homelessnesshousingproblem.com/

Edit: prospective reply guys need to explain why W. Virginia, the place with by far the biggest drug abuse problem, also has the least homelessness.

My Identity Is Worth $5.21
I had my identity stolen via the Equfax Data breach in 2017. Pursuant to https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement I got my Settlement Fund check today.
My check number was nearly 1.1 million, so there are at least that many checks being distributed.

A measly $5.21. I'm disgusted.

Fortunately I had my credit locked so nothing bad happened.

If you don't have your credit locked I would do it right away. All 3 bureaus.

It’s probably somewhere in the middle. When YOLO became popular a decade ago, most millennials were already in their mid-twenties, and the way I see it, new internet slang always “belongs” to the youth, and that was Gen Z at that time.
What is the path to profitability you see? They pretty much have to gut rehab the building to add kitchens and bathrooms, in an economy where loans are pretty expensive. Is that competitive with people selling existing move-in ready housing stock in a down market? Do you want to be the first person to sign a contract in one of these conversions? (Not to mention the usual "new construction" taxes that are seller-paid on existing housing, but buyer-paid on new construction.)

I think everyone is incentivized to sit on what they have now and offer cheap leases. I also think that cities are incentivized to bring workers back to the office. Like in NYC, we spent billions of dollars on a new commuter railroad terminal that opens this year, and upgrades to run more trains per hour during rush hour. I don't think the state is going to step in and offer free money to make more housing.

All in all I love the idea of converting offices to housing. Working from home is great, and affording your own home is even better. But, I don't think the economy wants either of them :/

Scarcity drives prices up. If we keep the housing supply lower than it needs to be, landlords can continue to excuse raising prices on their X*mortgage < rent condos, apartments and *plexes.
You like it? I've been considering it. Any reservations?
Theoretically, sure. In reality, people have invested a lot of money in housing and want to preserve that investment. I recall a time in Seattle where the mayor and city council proposed removing most of the zoning restrictions in the city. Within weeks course was reversed[1]. Personally, I think it was a good proposal, but it's hard to convince homeowners to give an inch. While I think that's bad for society, I can't blame people for looking out for one of their largest investments.

> I can very well get to define what art means to me.

Never meant to say otherwise.

> Process is actually very easy to infer if the art is made by a human, since the emotions that are being conveyed by the humans behind the screen are displayed directly on screen.

I couldn't disagree more, unless you have some method, some mechanism I know not of you are only guessing. It is good guessing because humans are more alike than not but still only guessing.

Often not even the artist himself knows the process.

I have grown to abhor legislation, if you want to aggress the users of AI tools then do it yourself without the help of the state.
My understanding is this farmer was paid to grow food, not buy it from another farmer.

The expectation was this farmer would grow new calories (increasing the supply of food for the region).

You may argue there is a fixed number of crypto released and thus not fair, but allocating that money towards the open market instead of toward hardware and energy company has an impact on the crypto's value.
Right. Just what we needed, more product differentiation in RAM. Like Intel's 22 versions of the same basic CPU. 10% faster! 2x cache! ...

This is only true if your plan supports deferrals, right?

Had after-tax deferrals available through a Fidelity plan at an employer once, it was great being able to roll that over into an IRA. Hopefully I'll have it again soon - it's an underrated perk for sure.
I think the concern was if someone had released the fluff for a adventure or class or something under the OGL, then if you went and did a conversion of that for 2E and wanted to release it you'd have to do it under the OGL, but presumably you'd also want to use content from the PF 2E rulebook which would require you to use its open license, which would be a problem if that wasn't OGL. It's basically like the problem with GPL-incompatible open source licenses.
the modern industrial diet seems to have caused an obesity epidemic everywhere it's been introduced in the last half century

this is one of the major reasons for the slowing of the growth in life expectancy laudan mentions here, and even its reversal in places

people who eat weird diets for some ideological reason that rule out eating food made in factories (raw-food vegans, carnivores, extreme-low-fat people) seem to be exempt

but even lab animals are getting obese, despite never picking up the phone to order pizza

it's not clear what's going on but it's probably not sugar, fat, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, protein, outgassing from household furnishings, advertising, lack of willpower, hormones in meat, pesticides, or transgenic grains. my guess is that it's one or more food additives generally regarded as safe that was almost unknown 50 years ago and is now almost universal

unfortunately there are hundreds of candidates

it's certainly true that 75 years ago the picture was very different, and this is not a defense of the kind of culinary romanticism laudan rightly scorns in this piece, but it's a different reason that today you might reasonably opt for old, slow, unprocessed food
My RPi is just a torrent box and media server. I use SMB to drop .torrent files downloaded from my Windows desktop directly to a directory on the Pi, and Transmission immediately starts downloading it.

My router forwards port 22 to it as well, so I can SSH to it remotely and then tunnel VNC connections to my desktop through it. It's exceptionally rare for me to do this, but it HAS come in handy before.
The people adjudicating disputes at card companies are akin to content moderators hired by social media companies, they aren't experts and do not spend much time reading up on the dispute. The decisions are more or less random, with a heavy bias towards the customer.
I'm going to cheat because I actually bought this in late 2021, but: my own ski equipment and a weekday season pass. I used to go maybe two or three times a year with rented equipment, which was a whole production that required extra hours to go rent and return it, and I had to plan ahead. Now I can just decide last minute to head up to the mountain for the day, so last year I went about 15 times, on track for 15-20 times this year. It's great exercise and tons of fun.
Slightly OT, but when you edit code in the REPL this way using conditions/restarts, how do you avoid getting your code out of sync with the REPL's state? It seems with a long-running REPL, you eventually run into:

- Out of order execution means we don't know what order our code should be run in to achieve the current state

- If we run some code in the REPL and never save it in a file, then our state is also out of sync

- Finally, if we redefine some code, there's no way the state can be in sync with the code if started from the beginning

How do Common Lispers typically deal with these issues for a REPL that's been running for days or weeks, short of just saving the image and never turning it off?
Those kinds of contracts should simply be illegal.

It may not be the case that deliberate and intentional actions alone could have wiped out the natives but it seems pretty clear that there were a lot of deliberate and intentional actions both to kill them and take their land (Trail of Tears, Spanish conquests in South America). Those actions just wouldn't have been as successful without the diseases.

I had a conversation with Matt Rogers at a tradeshow a long time back. The thing that stuck with me was that despite his experience at Apple, experience building the iPod, iPad and iPhone and direct relationships with the same factories as he'd worked with at Apple, he wasn't able to get the same results at Nest.

Japan's real limitation here is primarily that they're relatively small (1/3 the size of US/EU), and their most "aligned" neighbors (Korea, Taiwan, Phillippines) don't like them very much. It's not like you could reasonably fit many more people on the islands as it is.

US wealth distribution is much flatter than European. The GDP/capita ratio between Mississippi and Connecticut is less than 1:2, while for Germany to Hungary it's more like 1:4.

In a similar vein, years ago I decided to upgrade my soldering iron and it made soldering so much less of a pain that I ended up getting way more into electronics, simply because I didn't have to force myself through the normal frustration to getting a simple thing done. My takeaway in general was that once you're sure you're into something, upgrading your tools can really smooth the edges which can feed back into you doing it more.

If you eat a lot of rice, a rice cooker is a must. My wife and I used to eat rice meals once or twice every week, and the dead simplicity of pouring in the rice, adding the water, and pushing a button and having perfect rice 15 minutes later is just such a time and effort saver.

As the median home price in Seattle is $761k, I imagine the market is very dependent on the good times rolling. The good times are currently not rolling: Lots of layoffs in tech, with the future uncertain. No real surprise.
Yeah, the thing I always say about the people who complain about tech workers and gentrification in a place like San Francisco is like, look, if you can't figure out how to gain from an influx of wealthy, highly-educated, low-criminality, nerdy tech workers, then that's really on you. What a gift! Any city would be lucky to have that "problem." You have to actively work to make that a negative (by, say, refusing to allow almost any new housing for literally decades).

The consequences of that decision are fairly obvious and straightforward and they've by now been explained to everybody 50 times, but this is the path these cities choose anyway! It's their choice and it's what they keep choosing.

Cities like San Francisco have said clearly, firmly, and repeatedly: "we would rather suffer a housing crisis than allow the city to change too rapidly." At this point what else can you say in response?

I think the switching occured much less frequently, with the lake drawing down and drying in between.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Cahuilla#History

The lake existed in several stages over the last 2,000 years, periodically drying and refilling and eventually disappearing sometime after 1580. Between 1905 and 1907, due to an engineering accident, the Salton Sea formed in parts of the lower basin of Lake Cahuilla. Were it not for human intervention, the sea might have grown to the size of prehistoric Lake Cahuilla.
I only recently learned it's painless(?) to make oat milk with one of those; I got one of these (https://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Milker-Kitchen-Wooden-mortar/dp...) but realistically I think any deep container and then straining out the oat pulp with a normal sieve would be just as effective. I haven't tried it with alternative milks (soy, rice, almond) because I'm happy enough with oat milk and it is incredibly inexpensive
Do $150 products count? If so: an air fryer. It really cut this household's "stove time" and electricity consumption down. They're more versatile than one may think at first glance. It's worth spending a little bit extra for one with decent capacity (e.g. 5 litres / 1.5 kg).

This reminds me vaguely of the Sega Dreamcast controllers.

It doesn’t represent `{ x: 0, y: 1 }’, but I can’t remember if that was the case because of the physical joystick, which was then remapped in software, or some other case, though I assume that’s why.[1][2]
