There was definitely a large and vocal part of the community that wanted that, but I think early on there was a lot of tension between Scala being "better Java" and "Haskell for the JVM", and that probably hindered a lot of adoption.
My guess is it would conserve entropy/processing on Earth to match the increased cost.

But there's a difference between "screaming into the void", like broadcasting radio waves, that presumably have 0 effects, and other things.
OK, most of us are average by definition, what's your point again?
And - I think if it can replace my average ass it will sooner than you imagine be able to solve Linux Kernel bugs. I just don't see a huge difference in the computation required between CRUD and Kernel development: It's just statistics for the machine.

Regardless of new worthiness it's logical to focus more on negative things.

Negatives are problems to be solved, if enough people care maybe they will be solved too. Whereas positives don't need solving (though can still be good to think about to avoid throwing out the baby with the bathwater when addressing a negative.

Of course not all negatives can be solved themselves. If it's "X was killed due to Y" then of course X is dead so nothing more can be done for X but maybe we can prevent issue Y killing someone else Z in the future.
I'm neither a mathematician nor a physicist, so I'm not nearly informed enough to elaborate on the subject properly, but I would note that the axiom of choice is not proven, and while you can mathematically divide a continuum into infinitesimally small sets, you cannot do the same to physical matter. From my understanding, many of the contradictions between classical and quantum physics arise at this boundary between the discrete and the continuous, where classical physics generally assumes continuity while quantum physics is constructed around discrete quantization mostly independent of time.

Again, I'm not a physicist, but I think it's telling that the validity of continuum mechanics [0] depends on a model and multiple assumptions. I have no trouble agreeing with your original statement, "with enough marbles, the discrete distribution behaves like a continuous distribution," when speaking mathematically, but mathematics by its nature is an idealized model of the world - I'm not willing to accept that it's objectively representative of physical reality. The discussion we're having here is one of metaphysics, so it feels a bit like the height of hubris to use mathematics as the tool for describing objective reality, because metaphysically, we cannot say that mathematics is anything other than a tool we've constructed for approximating the model of the world as we understand it. Considering the subject of this post is about retrocausality, we're already throwing out some pretty wild ideas, so I think it's a bit hubristic to dismiss them by citing a branch of mathematics that assumes the existence of countably infinite sets [1].

Now in 2023 I'd strongly think twice before investing heavily in Java. For the vast majority of use cases where Java is utilized Go ends up being a better choice w/ cleaner codebases, static binaries (none of this JDK/JRE deployment mess), and phenomenal performance. Not to mention proper interop with native (C/C++) code without JNI funny business.
It's such a shame, because 15 years ago, Mac OS X made a great version of Unix for the masses. As a former academic, the marriage of Mac and Unix was a big part of what attracted me to the platform. Now Apple is flushing that all down the toilet, instead giving us an oversized overpriced locked down iPhone with a keyboard.
Intuitively… we can’t even do science without a notion of time that advances. How can we make observations without there being a concept of “something happened previously”?

I think this is embedded in science itself.

Spaceship Warlock! Thank you for reminding me of this title. Sometimes I think about it but couldn’t remember the name.

It’s hard to explain today why it felt so advanced in 1991. The fact that it ran from CD on the expensive, exotic Macintosh II while other games were low-res and loaded from floppies on MS-DOS or Amiga was a big factor.

The bottom line is that you need a way to get the repressed emotions out. Sounds like you have a way that works for you. This article is basically telling you to not seek help because you have a way of dealing with your problems today.
Have you ever heard of the book Core Java for the Impatient?
When you've done that, is it all of a sudden super-simple? You've had to incorporate all the same complexity into your model. If you sent it back to a spreadsheet user, don't you think they would say the same thing, just backwards?: "I had to reverse engineer a number of technical data processes in R that took days merely to understand the principles..."
I’m not advocating for killer robots, but wouldn’t we get the killer robots in our kitchens 10 years after the military gets them?
To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Certainly, there is merit in practical calculations when we are all this close to the ground where it all seems either flat or at least geo-centric.

But... the movements of the other planets in our solar system were really strange to model in geo-centric models. In short, each of the other planets should rotate around an imaginary axis to compensate for their changing positions in the sky.

Of course, all this is talk about in the context of our solar system. As for us being the center of the universe, well, the same argument holds for any other point in the universe. So, I think it's less likely than me winning the lottery in the next five minutes :)
Yeah, it's very much a game of "well, other people fit this profile, but also tend to watch this other thing, we should recommend that, as it will probably hook this person as well. With any luck, they'll be grateful that we introduced them!"
you're correct. In stats/thermo class there's a commonly taught "what's the probability of all the molecules of air in a room spontaneously moving to <extremely small location>". The problem is that shoving all those molecules into a tiny location woudl increase the pressure tremendously, sending all the particles in directions that would eventually return to a uniform distribution.

IIUC my professor right the probability is non zero but is practically impossible for a large number of incompressible spheres.
ELO is based off who you win and lose against. The rate of illegal moves has nothing to do with ELO.
There are many types of therapy (CBT, DBT, etc.) where the focus is absolutely not on "just talking" or "just letting it out." Therapy can give you a structured toolbox of exactly those "healthy ways" to deal with emotions and emotional stress, and you can work them out and learn how to put them into practice, with an expert alongside you helping and coaching. It is a catalyst to learning those healthy mindset techniques instead of spending time yourself figuring everything out heuristically.

(good) Therapists are emotional intelligence coaches, they are NOT "shoulders to cry on," quite the opposite in fact.

I worked with a therapist doing CBT for a while, and have recently been working with a career coach. Neither of them ever let me "ramble" or "just let it out" with anything. They stop me and force me to unpack and separate the emotions from the thoughts from the reactions, and logically think through what is happening and how I can react in a more healthy way.

Well we're pretty confident that calculators work and do so in a fairly deterministic manner.

ChatGPT tends to be extremely incoherent and often provides answers which directly disagree with what it previously said (at least on some topics*). My fear is that while you right in theory we'll have spend huge amounts of brain power and time to discern whether what it's saying is total BS or not. And I really don't know how could I even do that if I wasn't particularly knowledgeable on the topic.

If it could provide citations or some context on why did it decide to answer in the way it did it might be not so bad.

Fairly straightforward areas like software engineering are not that bad I guess.. but it's answers any even mildly complex questions on history, anthropology or related fields where there are often no clear and straightforward answer just seem absolutely awful. Just tweaking the input a bit without actually changing the core of the question can results in something that completely contradicts to what it just said before.

Don't use non-standard channels. You're making it worse for everyone.
But that "the less it's needed, the better" is still an incredibly fuzzy standard. Your "it's not needed more" point is going to be different than your neighbor's, and so what's the framework for deciding which point to use?

"I think it's already doing about the right amount" is just an opinion, much weaker than the first sort of at-first-apparently "principle"-based "by attempting to reign in human behavior, you only further any divides that separate us" pontification. You just think it's already reined in enough. But you aren't calling for much rollback of what it's doing - instead, you're saying there are even other areas where it isn't sufficient.

Here's an inverted example for the speech one: there's a lot of complaining and teeth-gnashing about "cancel culture" but... all the outrage that gets people canceled is completely free speech.

> I was saying this tongue in cheek, but are you suggesting we should place more limits on free speech because it can be used to get ahead? That's 1984 thought policing.

There was probably a misunderstanding there, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" colloquially refers to far more than just speech as I understand it. And e.g. restricting access to schools or jobs is not gonna make the restricted ones stronger. Just make them suffer.

In addition, pay attention the modalit(ies) of the therapist. If you've tried a few therapists and haven't found one that clicked, try one that emphasizes a different modality.

As an example: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) vs. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) vs. Freudian Psychotherapy vs. Ketamine Therapy vs. [insert whatever modality you'd like]
In a well defined system, a probabiltiy of zero by definition means an event is impossible.
Few missing details that are crucial to usage within an organization:

1. what is the type of service instrumentation needed to capture the data? Wonder why this is needed when typically the data is already captured in an APM log? The instrumentation might add performance and security concerns.

2. what is the sampling logic to capture the traffic? It might compromise the fidelity of the test data and give a false sense of test accuracy.

3. what is the duration of data capture? Is it a week's or month's or quarterly data? Meeting 90% coverage on a week's production sample data will provide a false metric.

4. can it faithfully handle data privacy and customer anonymization? This is critical for API's dealing with PCI and other sensitive data.

If time were symmetric, wouldn't that mean instead of causality (future is influenced by the past) and retrocausality (past is influenced by the future), there is no preference and in effect no causality at all? A&B are necessarily connected, but none of them is the cause of the other.
This is 'What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole' all over again. Just because something happens in Quantum Physics doesn't mean humans can influence their pasts.
Yes, I've seen this a lot over the years.

Also, putting code inside a do ... while( false ) loop purely so you can use break as a sneaky goto to avoid deeply nested conditionals while technically adhering to the single return rule.

I think when you're starting to use control statements in bizarre ways like that, it's a good indication that maybe that's a case where breaking the "rules" is the best thing.

Maybe it goes something like this: AIUI the act of pulling money out of the banks will crash them, one by one. Along the way the government will continue to print to try to backstop it and restore confidence. The act of this just speeds up the demise. The money will get centralized to the GSIBs. But they have the same problem.
I tend to think the American IPA fascination is an over-correction from too many decades fascination with pale lagers (the Budweiser/Bud Light dominance) and APAs.

I'm sorry you had bad luck finding the local craft breweries specializing in things other than IPAs, but they certainly exist in the US. I know that I appreciate how much Belgian influence happened in my city's craft brewing scene at a critical juncture. There are breweries here specializing in sours from years before it was a more national fad. Their only mistake not having a big enough distribution to get the most profit advantage from more recent trends or be that well known outside of the city.
Actually thinking back... I think my first experience having the reaction to mosquitoes was vacationing in Denmark at 15, and at 14 I had burst appendecitis with moderately progressed peritonitis that required extensive laparotomy with a hefty antibiotic course to prevent progression to fullblown sepsis. The infection even flared up weeks later(or it was a new infection) and I had to do another course on a different antibiotic this time. It was around 15 that my mental health really started to deteriorate too.

The one mentioned earlier was at age 20 due to severe pneumonia. And my mental health took yet another nosedive after that as well.

The appendix interacts with the gut microbiome and the immune system, which interact with eachother, and both have been linked to mental illness in various ways.

I always felt like all these things were somehow connected but I could never quite nail it down. I asked my GP once but she gave me a look that could only mean "who do you think I am, Greg House?" And very little concrete came of it.

The allergies might be the "signal" that helps give weight to this theory beyond my fool's hope that it can all be cured with a fecal transplant or something.
My CV that does not fit (24 year old hacker CV)
Your question would be answered by seeking help to see if it is right for you and for a common sense therapist to reject you if you’re doing fine. Sadly that is unlikely given incentives and the need to keep practicing.

They are great arguments but just feels generalizing something many don’t even do to begin with.
"I don't understand why you buy eggs at seven cents a piece in Malta and sell them for five cents."
"I do it to make a profit."
"But how can you make a profit? You lose two cents an egg."
"But I make a profit of three and a quarter cents an egg by selling them at four and a quarter cents an egg to the people in Malta I buy them from for seven cents an egg. Of course, I don't make the profit. The syndicate makes the profit. And everybody has a share."
Yossarian felt he was beginning to understand. "And the people you sell the eggs to at four and a quarter cents a piece make a profit of two and three quarter cents a piece when they sell them back to you at seven cents a piece. Is that right? Why don't you sell the eggs directly to you and eliminate the people you buy them from?"
"Because I am the people I buy them from," Milo explained. "I make a profit of three and a quarter cents a piece when I sell them to me and a profit of two and three quarter cents apiece when I buy them back from me. That's a total profit of six cents an egg. I lose only two cents an egg when I sell them to the mess halls at five cents apiece, and that's how I can make a profit buying eggs for seven cents apiece and selling them for five cents apiece. I pay only one cent a piece at the hen when I buy them in Sicily."
"In Malta," Yossarian corrected. "You buy your eggs in Malta, not Sicily."
Milo chortled proudly. "I don't buy eggs from Malta," he confessed... "I buy them in Sicily at one cent apiece and transfer them to Malta secretly at four and a half cents apiece in order to get the price of eggs up to seven cents when people come to Malta looking for them."
I think this was an issue that was really only an issue for specific geographic areas, but also an easy bandwagon to jump on and look like you're "fighting the good fight". It was an actual problem in one area from my childhood, but never saw it anywhere else.

Otherwise, fully and wholeheartedly agree that it's now a global issue and is indeed real. Welcome to the "global community" we were always told was going to be such an advancement for society.

I take it you don’t play video games either. Spelunky was a pretty popular Indy game back in the day. Named after, you guessed it, spelunking. I first learned the word from “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego” back in the 90s. I had to ask my parents what it meant.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. In particular what "knowledge of the news" is.

What I'm getting at is that the premise that news is mostly negative seems to pretty clearly dictate that we would be better off without most news. Yet this seems to contradict a pretty wildly held belief that getting rid of news is troubling.
Probably the bigger difference is ability to premove online
At a glance, it might be OK that way, and I would give it the gold star. It's just unintuitive to make the leap to "apply a cost to the total length of the path" as a way of expressing preferences among distinct categories of path.

Implementation of the categories as completely independent paths falls out of the clarified problem definition directly. It's really in nailing the specification that the problem is hard, i.e., even with GPT we're still programming.
