And I don't even mean racism - say your potential candidate is older with kids (assuming you're younger) would you pass them because they cannot go out drinking with you after work (a.k.a social circle)?

That said, I agree that you want to work with people you get along with, but it has to be at work. Social circle is the issue for me.
> similar power envelope

Power envelopes are reported in very misleading ways by companies, in practice it is not even close. The way they report stuff is having their cake and eat it too: the benchmarks results assume boosting their frequencies above the base one, while the "power envelopes" advertised are on the base frequency. It becomes quite apparent when you run them on battery, where M1/2s continue performing the same as plugged in, and amd/intel laptops underperform, while also not even lasting as much as apple's on battery.

Is there a reason that forwarding is the path chosen for this rather than setting gmail as your MX?
A lot of young people (in particular) are understandably despondent at the state of the world. Saddled with student debt, fearing medical debt and having no hope of being able to afford housing in the current market. Some of these people understandably are hoping for some 2008-like crash as a kind of reset. It's their only hope other than winning the lottery.

It isn't coming.

There is now a confluence of interests to make sure that never happens. It's an alliance of homeowners and investment funds. Homeowners have a tendencey to become NIMBYs to protect their house values. For some this is now generational wealth they're creating. These presence of institutional investment funds are just adding to this to create a permanent renter class.

Some markets are soft but we don't have a vast amount of unqualified buyers. Nor do we have massive unemployment. These are really the only things that could drive a sharp fall.

This is the natural outcome of a capitalist organization of the economy. Every aspect of your life has become or is becoming financialized as the need for ever-increasing profits are going to extract every last dollar from you. Debt is quite literally built into your existence.
Correct.

One of my clients is a construction firm specializing with churches. It is not infrequent for them to be communicating about a project with a church - often to a role account (e.g. info@church.org), which is step 1 towards being filed as spam - where the role account is shared with a dozen or more people. The building manager will check the email on Mon, Wed and Fri and every other day there will be a number of well-intentioned volunteers at least one of which will click on the spam button dooming my client's email into the abyss. Weeks later we find the church has gone with a different contractor, as they "could never get a response" from my client.

We will go so far as to donate a new IT/Cloud system to the church (small $$ compared with the project) just to ensure reliable communication. But then they think we are just trying to buy them.

Now my client has a blacklisted domain/mail server IP, and bids they send out are rejected as spam by the providers to other churches.

Makes no difference if we are hosting the mail server or if it is a 3rd party mail service. As soon as a customer is sold, we try and move them off email into a web-application framework for ongoing legitimate communication. Again a lot of resistance.

I wouldn't count on it. I work for John Deere, and am often in discussions about some part going out of production. Sometimes we guess how many we need for the next X years and buy that many, othertimes we rewrite software for a new part. Care to guess how many boards can sit in a warehouse for many years and still have good capacitors.

I can't tell you how many years, but there is always someone in these discussions who points out with pride that we still tractors from the 1950 in use by customers who demand replacement parts for anything that breaks.
I wonder what Borges would think of ChatGPT, especially given his "The Library of Babel".
It hinges on the "expect" in how "much do you expect to pay?".

You can think of it like "expected value", where you're doing a comparison. Those meals are $8 each. If someone says they'll give you $80 for a set, this would be a profitable endeavor. On average, you'd expect to spend $66.67 (8.33*8) to get a collection.

If you think of it like "setting expectations", it's not so good. If a mafia boss told you he was expecting you to get all four toys for his daughter, you're not going to place an order for nine meals and walk in there with 71% confidence. I might show up with 59 of them, which is the p99.9999 value.
Though I lack personal experience with a historical approach to studying mathematics, a starting point could be the reading list by St. John's College as part of the materials the faculty uses to teach mathematics to their undergraduates: https://www.sjc.edu/academic-programs/undergraduate/subjects...

Readings include Archimedes's "On the Equilibrium of Planes" and "On Floating Bodies" and Nicomachus's "Arithmetic." However, I've heard of some mixed reviews on the effectiveness of learning math [1] [2] via reading historical texts at St. John's, versus more traditional approaches today in good mathematics programs.

A bit separately but as a related idea, I've spoken to a couple people who said they preferred older mathematics books from the 1900s to the 1960s for their studies over modern books. I personally prefer modern books with recent editions that are well-recommended, as they usually have good visualizations of ideas and shouldn't frequently have errors (due to their reputation). If you're studying as a hobby, though, the most effective mathematics book, assuming it's reasonably reputable and heard-of, is the one that interests you enough to stick with it for consistent study in the long-term.

You can have a one line regex that validates email that are correct according to RFC. However, most popular email services don't care about that. A lot of "valid" (as in active emails on email service like Gmail) are not "RFC valid", some "RFC valid" emails are not valid to many email services and MTAs.

Realistically, trying to validate email if you aren't in the business of providing an email service is a fool's errand that doesn't bring much to the table.
> While this is true, it's not a very strong statement. Physicists extend models all the time into domains where we can't directly test them.

Sure but it's not every day that we extend models into a domain (near the singularity) where we know our model must eventually break down somehow. So I think you'll see why I'm a bit sceptical about your claim that

> the collapsing matter that formed the hole hits the singularity and is destroyed

I don't even know what "destroyed" is supposed to mean. Is the claim that the matter simply disappears from the spacetime, with all its conserved quantum numbers and other conserved quantities?

As for:

> The singularity theorems of GR guarantee that the key features of that model, the singularity and the collapsing matter getting destroyed in it, must be true as long as the collapsing matter has the equation of state of ordinary matter.

Do they? The Singularity Theorems assume the existence of a trapped surface. Last I checked[0] (I didn't check deeply, though) the mathematical results on when trapped surfaces arise are very few and far between. Is there a clear proof that in realistic models of black hole formation we must have a trapped surface eventually?

[0]: This was in 2020 when the Nobel committee dubiously claimed that Penrose's Singularity Theorems prove that black hole formation and singularities "are a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity".
This is certainly a troll thread, but have there been ANY experiments in the past few decades that push back against the big bang? Seems like it was hard to accept by many in the beginning but that the evidence is so overwhelming at this point. As someone who isn't a scientist and just listens to a lot of cosmology podcasts, even when they explore crazy theories I haven't heard of anything of an alternate theory in modern cosmology.

Moves like this will be another illustration of the international export of domestic cultural pathologies of the US, onto the wider world. That different countries have different ideas on what we mean by race and equity will be overwhelmed by the US version of 'what is', derived as it is from the unique conditions of race relations in that country. This is the real power of the US - the stealth insertion of society changing values, through the near total monopoly of the information technology infrastructure.

I don't think he was saying it is good that "unfit" children die in mines, that would be a pretty horrific assertion.

I think he is just wondering why we don't consider the impact of immigration on genetic diversity. If we have nations that have huge immigrant populations and nations that have huge numbers migrating away from them it would have an interesting impact on genetic diversity. There are a range of traits that influence whether someone would migrate from a place or stay where they were born. I don't think pondering the effects of that requires a psychiatrist.

Yes I gathered, but in reality there's not an infinite number all produced in equal quantities. I'm curious how much it might change how many meals you'd need to buy if it was a limited production run, and even whether the total number of participants would make much difference (clearly it must make some - if only 1000 of each toy were produced and 1000 customers took part, surely very few would have been lucky enough to get all 4 toy types at all, as on average they could have only received 4).

The author is economically illiterate, and fails to consider the cost of diesel fuel on distribution networks. Doesn't even mention the word 'fuel' or 'diesel' once, despite fuel being an integral part of the supply chain and a huge influence on prices.
Yes good hard numbers. The problem is many still consider it a shortage because they think that hoarding their starter home when they've moved on to home 2, and 3, and so on means a shortage still. The hoarding has in fact led to a shortage of homes available to buy. Why would they sell the accumulated properties when they are ramping up in value significantly each year, and only recently took a almost insignificant claw-back. If they all just continue the seller's strike, they can hold on to the value. We need to increase the holding cost of vacant properties significantly I believe to make a dent in actual affordability.

In the US interest payments are tax deductible (it’s a bit complicated because there are cliffs and limits involved) which lessens this.

For me personally I max out the SALT deduction which is barely less than the standard deduction, so most interest payments would be “discounted” by my highest marginal tax rate, which is a lot. Basically you end up with a 30-50% discount on mortgage interest in some cases

Still, I think it's pretty sad that "results don't conform to our ideological results" equates to "it must be a bad metric, let's shut it down!"

It’s curious the talk of low light suburbs. Not sure how I feel about them.

Does this infer that someone not associated with an ART AI, take a published output of an AI then render it with their own tools and then claim copyright on their "handmade" artwork that was uncopyrightable as an AI output?
surprising would work for me.
The value of "art" goes down with the number of people able to create it. If it takes someone a week of training and a days work to create a Mona Lisa replica with glowing teeth, then that's worthless art, even if it does look better than the original. Makes for a great publicity stunt for the museum to put something like that up, and there's only one person who can be the first to do it. So in other words, there cannot be a large number of people able to do that. Therefore this time it's art that has some worth, the next time someone does it its worthless.
Hashcash was originally proposed to add some form of cost to sending email. Something similar could be a great way to get mail from legitimate people through. Spam wouldn't scale but the average person would only pay in a bit of CPU time/cost.

For example if I the moderator check the site once a day, and someone posts 5 minutes after I leave, would the law say it's ok for the content to remain up another 23 hours because no moderative choice occurred? Is there now a legal requirement to ensure you moderate fast enough?

No. Almost all dictatorships in South America ended less than 10 years after Carter left office. "Backing them" is something that Thatcher and Reagan did for Pinochet but not Carter.
