The lead author of this study, Linda M. Seymour, worked with Jackson on reference 29, on the mortar of the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, which is referenced repeatedly and the samples from which form a significant part of the hypothesis.

That study: https://ceramics.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jace.18...

Story on that study: https://als.lbl.gov/unexpected-transformations-reinforce-rom...

Jackson is quoted, if briefly, by Science's article on the new paper. https://www.science.org/content/article/scientists-may-have-...

Jackson's work is focused on pyroclastic volcanism. Seymour's work has focused on Roman water infrastructure.

Maybe substitute "physicalistic" (as opposed to computational) for "mechanistic". I think there is something to the idea that physical layout could be tuned to use various waves (electromagnetic, fluid pressure, etc) for signaling. So it may not all be axons and dendrites, it might also work like a big capacitor / resonator, transmitting macro information through every worthwhile sidechannel. Who's to say all those side-channels are known to current science?
I'm continuing to work on a finance-related platform discovery tool: https://www.swiftsalary.com/platforms

When you find a platform you're interested in, you can easily learn more about it, read user reviews, and evaluate it on your own.

I'm hoping this tool will make it easier for people around the world to improve their financial situation.

To add to your great points, if OP ever decides to immigrate elsewhere (not even talking about the US specifically, but pretty much anywhere outside of the EU), attempting it without a college degree can range somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible. Yes, even for high-earning fields like software development.

Unless there are strong reasons not to do college, I would recommend to not skip it.

Disclaimer: I am talking about OP's situation specifically. I am not trying to make a general "everyone should go to college unless they have a strong reason not to" statement, because I don't agree with it myself.
Yes, he is an ethnic Russian who happens to be an Estonian national. "Russian" does not refer to the nationality, it is an ethnicity. There are vast amounts of Russian nationals who are not Russian.

In Estonia these people are referred to as Russians too, because that is what they are and what they identify as.
Agree. Heat pumps are likely the most efficient way to heat/cool something we'll ever have.

But that's besides the point. The question was whether mining is becoming more efficient, not whether mining can deliver secondary purposes as efficiently as other technology that's specifically designed for those purposes.

I agree with the spirit of what you're saying but you go too far, ironically asserting without any supporting logic that the intelligence of homo sapiens has remained static for the last 2,000 years. But I suppose the disagreement hinges on what is meant by intelligence.

Here's a thought experiment: if you removed all technology (tools, writing, vast stores of knowledge) from a human child and raised them in this vacuum, would they be more or less intelligent? Would they understand their place in the solar system and the structure of the cosmos? Would they know how to protect themselves from sickness (germ theory)? Would their vocabulary and ability to express themselves be less or more?

Of course these questions don't have definitive answers and you can play the game the other way, arguing that modern humans would die in a couple weeks if transported back to caveman times.

But it's a poor model to view intelligence as some static property independent of technology, environment, gene mutation, sexual selection and all the other strings in the web of existence.
> if you don't know how to make Roman concrete, don't assume anything

That's not useful guidance for doing research at all. It's similar to some 19th-century physicists/philosophers saying 'if you can't see atoms, you can't possibly know anything about them or whether they even exist'. We also can't make supernovae or supermassive black holes, yet we can still try to learn about them through a combination of available data and educated 'assumptions' (ie theories).

What this research has done is replace one theory with another, and that theory might be replaced by another one later, that's just how science works.
While processed foods consumption correlates with diseases, it's likely because food that's processed outside of your house typically includes ingredients (or preparation method) that either make it last longer or taste better at the expense of your health.

But that doesn't mean that processing is always harmful. Frozen fish is considered "processed", but freezing also kills parasites.

What is this nonsense
Only if you take out the rebar. Concrete is porous, water penetrates to the rebar inside, the rebar rusts and expands, cracking the concrete. But if you remove the rebar, you remove much of the tensile strength of the structure, which means you need to use way more concrete to compensate (via the sheer compressive force of its own weight).
Excellent work. Committing to working on something for 2 years and shipping is an incredible achievement at any age let alone 17. Keep at it and you'll go places!

It's still not obvious why this would be different for even vs. odd blade numbers or why changing one blade throws the others "off".

It's a common misconception that complexity is a zero-sum game.

There are gains to be made from certain design decisions and HATEOAS in my experience with multiple front end teams and multiple back end teams working in HATEOAS-land is that the HATEOAS systems were able to address ongoing systems evolution in ways that when complexity did come up, it was easier to address and manage.

I'm not here to proposition it as a silver bullet, or have quantitative data to substantiate it, but in my experience the ease of ongoing system architectural evolution in both client and server realms made up for the difference in tension between the two camps.

One example of a tension in HATEOAS is the complaint from clients that they can't hardcode links like they did before. One of the points, obviously, of HATEOAS is the ability to represent state using hypermedia[links]. One terrible thing the backend could do is make clients traverse multiple resources to get a url to perform an action elsewhere[1].

Rather than saying "tough luck, deal with it," communication workflows and architecture was adjusted so that for most workflows, the required urls were made available as a natural part of accessing resources needed to accomplish the workflow.

Does this require some work on the client to extract the link and use it for the next step in the workflow? yes. Do the other benefits make up for it? It did in my org. It might in yours. Part of being a good architect is making that decision correctly more often than not.

1. I'm being a bit loose with terminology, but I hope it helps rather than detracts from understanding.
The Antelope Valley Aquifer in California has had thousands of feet of ground water depleted growing Alfalfa. It’s part of the Mojave Desert.

There used to be artesian springs over much of it, now the ground water is over 2500 feet below ground, and starting to be widely contaminated with arsenic.

It’s pretty mind blowing, frankly. This was generally all done via wells sunk on private property.

There has been ongoing litigation to get this under control for several decades that is starting to finally result in action.

I've met plenty of Estonians who have a Russian ethnic background, however identify as Estonian, speak Estonian, and do not consider themselves Russian. Again, I think the point of what I was getting at should be clear.

And, to your point about them being called Russian in Estonia, I've heard them called "Russian speaking" more than Russian. Then, again, the Estonians I know take a pro-integration position on the matter. The "ethnic Russian" terminology is often used in pro-separatist circles to justify non-integration, or by anti-Russian Estonians.

> That looks like a perfect candidate for 3D printing and then machining the final part vs billet.

Now you need two expensive machines, not just one. Billet is not that expensive. I've seen people suggest this before and I looked on their site. They show a multi axis CNC machine making the parts. You would need exactly the same machine to post machine the 3D printed part, but now you have a second expensive and slow process to manage (the metal 3D printing). With billet a huge bar of material shows up, you slice each piece in a few minutes, mount it in your CNC and go. 3D printing feed powders have their own expensive processes they need to go through, so they probably cost much more than billet, reducing any potential cost savings on the material side. And the second expensive machine and process adds a lot of new expenses. Plus, you have to validate the product all over again instead of just selling them.

I bet the high price is mostly due to patents and lack of competition. It is probably not inherently super expensive to make, beyond the need for a high end multi axis CNC machine.
He wasn't technically wrong if you include the part where he said "unless population growth stops".

The OP then lists all the ways in which people tried to do that in authoritarian ways (without much impact) and how it happened anyway due to various factors that Ehrlich can't take credit for.

But it still happened, so "If not X then Y" can still be true even when X does and Y doesn't happen.

I also feel the degrowth stuff is just people talking past each other.

The article he links to suggest more public transport, better insulated homes and eating healthier plant based diets are examples of "degrowth" and there's no way for government to achieve these wild goals. Well, maybe they could stop subsidizing the opposite of those at the very least.

Okay, I understand this likely not what you were expecting as an answer, but this is based on my own personal experience as well as reading I did before changing my way of eating (specifically the meta-analysis of dozens of scientific papers in Gary Taubes "Why We Get Fat")

Switching to a keto diet (under 20 net carbs a day) had an immediate and lasting effect on my mental acuity, mental health, energy levels, and overall wellness. I had persistent brain-fog stemming from stress, overwork, bad health habits, and a case of Mumps which left me feeling like a shadow of my former self.

Within 36 hours of changing the way I ate, I felt like I was finally back to myself. I had my quick wit, energy to dig into problems, and a desire to move and do things instead of rest, eat, and wallow.

I'm happy to talk more about it if you're interested, but I'll keep this brief and simply say that trying a 3 day experiment where you keep net carbs (carbs minus fiber) under 20 per day may have a dramatic effect and give you the energy to begin to address other root causes.
Most people I've met that actually got jobs at top HFTs were quite curious about a lot of topics in school (and still are with extra time they have). I'm surprised your friends are so fixated on HFTs while there are so many interesting and/or fun other things to spend time on when undergrad on campus.

A lot of HFTs have their own training programs anyway for the job specific knowledge, so it is more important to build up the right base math and/or dev background than to hyper fixate on HFTs all of undergrad, even if your end career goal is to make bank.

You cannot out-smart emotional manipulation. Most people who get caught up in cults believe they are too smart to fall for a cult.

> Does the news media not "psychologically manipulate people to get them to vote or think a certain way?" By your logic, we shouldn't just ban ads, we should ban most journalism and news websites, as they are all also propaganda arms to promote different ideologies.

You introduced a straw man argument to argue against. Journalists are subject to norms, pressures, and factcheckers that ads aren’t. Politicians spend big on ads that are deliberately misleading. The oversite that exists either isn’t enforced or is incredibly weak.

One way to consider ad personalization is: should someone grow richer if they know there is trauma in your life? If your friend dies, if you and your partner miscarry, if you were fired from work. Who should be allowed to profit from these events and why?
