Engineers deal with ambiguity all the time. They do so in a logical and systematic fashion using statistics and probability. Noise is an unfortunate fact of life.

>provides by far the cheapest, easiest calories for your body to digest

I mean metabolically cheap and easy. Your body expends the least energy digesting fat (2-3%, or 2-3 calories worth of energy for every 100 fat calories you consume), and the most digesting protein (>20%). Add to that the fact that fat has more than twice the calories per gram that carbohydrate and protein do, and it's little wonder why so many people fail with keto.

* An Apple executive said recently that they want to release a huge upgrade every year. They don't want to hold back.[0]

* M1 used A14. M2 used A15 (even though A16 was already out). This seems to suggest that Apple wants to make use of every A series iteration. The A series gets a new gen every year.

* It seems to make sense business-wise that the base M will at least get upgraded once a year. It isn't too much more effort since the iPhone funds most of the development. The base M chip goes into the following: Macbook Air 13", Macbook Air 15"(expected to come out in a few months), iPad Pro 13", iPad Pro 11", iMac, Mac Mini, iPad Air. It's valuable to update these devices once a year.

* We weren't in "normal" years. Covid, supply chain issues, work from home, gigantic demand followed by demand collapse like contributed to delays.

I like your comment because it could be expressed by someone on the far right as much as the far left.

It's not about wind pressure. It's that the door when properly closed becomes an integral, load-bearing part of the car's structure. In the event of a crash or rollover, an incompletely-closed door makes the car much weaker and less protective of the occupants.

We could have completely replaced coal power with nuclear if it wasn't for Greenpeace.
One thing I’ve learned is that unless the option absolutely disappears, people usually won’t search for alternatives when something goes to absolute shit. They’ll just complain and accept it.

It’s more likely that roads will be widened and traffic will grow to meet that supply than it is that cars start to go away. Cars only go away when governments announce near immediate bans.
I think it falls in that category of stuff meant for kids but not dumbed down for kids.

This tends to be the absolute best content for young readers, because we all feel like we're hanging with the adults. Even better, with the funny and/or smart adults. It tends to elevate young people because that's when we're most desperate to be older/cooler/smarter/funnier.

Despite this being a huge part of a lot of people's lives, it always felt like you were in a club. You could get away with stealing jokes and delivering them at school without anyone catching on. You could copy the style of art from an issue and nobody was the wiser (I won an art contest in 6th grade with something very close to a MAD artist I no longer recall).

I don't know what the modern equivalent is. What's the barely-above-ground cultural lynchpin that sneaks a few kids into the late night comedy club now?

I hate to break it to you, but sociopaths run far more than the downtown of our most valuable cities...
the Port of Seattle claimed that the shortfall of available gates could cause damages “in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars over the expected life of this project.”

That’s a pretty big range of damages, spending $78M (which probably means $100M by the time it’s done) to fix something that could only cost $50M in lost damages over the 30 (?) year lifespan of the project doesn’t seem like a good return on investment. It’s not like the gates are completely unusable, they just need to be used by smaller planes. How much would it cost to make those 4 gates completely unusable over what is sure to be a multi year construction project?
Have you tried the operator? https://www.keycloak.org/operator/advanced-configuration
As the article mentions, SF needs to do some large-scale rezoning to avoid a gutted downtown.

The city's approach to drug use probably doesn't help, but the pandemic-motivated downturn in foot traffic is the most obvious culprit.

San Francisco is the gold rush town. everyone comes to strike it rich. That includes the mentally ill, addicts, and unsheltered.

It's a crazy city isn't it. Please be kind. if everyone wants something and SF is the open place you go to get it, well it's a clusterfuck of people as is the reality of a clusterfuck of people.

My friend told me once, about USA that of course it's a massive shit show. We put it on the front door that we want everyone, and so we have to deal with... everyone. All races, religions, idealogies oh dear. and then people say how lovely Sweden is. i mean it is lovely, but it's a little easier to be lovely when everyone looks acts and believes all the same things in all the same ways.

I just don't want you to trash SF like it should be something for you to extract what you want from it. if you have bad things to say about SF, give us your energy to represent change. if you're doing that from Texas because "well fuck taxes" than you're just a transaction. and you're mean.

This is getting very far from where the original question came from. When talking to a layman one would say division is always multiplication by the inverse. There are nuances involved that a lay person simply can’t appreciate or understand. Had I known you knew about the extended complex numbers I would have answered differently. The extended complex numbers are not a ring, not a group, not an algebra, and so…is it really division then?

In math often times the answer we give depends on the knowledge of the person asking the question. For instance we tell calculus 1 students 1/x is not continuous as a function from R-{0} to R. Of course in the standard induced topology it is a continuous function but explaining this to calculus 1 students would be very difficult.

Well, let me give you a specific example (just one of many): his dismissal of Thomas Aquinas' proofs for God's existence (at the start of chapter 3), isn't even good for an undergraduate; if he submitted that as an essay in a philosophy 101 course, I doubt he'd get good marks. He doesn't bother to understand what Aquinas meant by the terms he uses in his arguments; he shows zero awareness of the historical context, that Aquinas is relying on a specific set of philosophical theories (scholastic Aristotelianism), and it is impossible to properly understand his arguments without first understanding that theoretical background. It appears Dawkins has never read any of the secondary literature (not even a first year textbook!), he is just dismissing these arguments based on a plain English reading of their words. He identifies Aquinas' fifth proof with Paley's argument from design, completely ignoring the (rather standard) position that they are rather different arguments based on quite different assumptions (an Aristotelian theory of causation versus a mechanistic/Cartesian/Humean one)

Personally, I'm sceptical than any of Aquinas' arguments actually work. Maybe, if you accept his philosophical assumptions (about the nature of causation, etc), they succeed – but that leaves us with the equally difficult task of proving those assumptions. So, I think Dawkins may well be right in his conclusion, that Aquinas' arguments fail – but the reasoning he uses to reach that conclusion shows he has zero idea what he is talking about.

To make an analogy – imagine an anti-creationist book written by someone with a very poor knowledge of the science of evolution, and their understanding of it is riddled with errors and misunderstandings, and Dawkins was asked to review it – while he'd of course agree with the book's conclusion, he'd find its contents an embarrassment – much of The God Delusion is the same thing.

Compare Dawkins to someone like the Australian philosopher of religion Graham Oppy. Oppy is, like Dawkins, an atheist. Unlike Dawkins, when he criticises theists' arguments, he actually knows what he is talking about, and doesn't make the kind of juvenile mistakes that Dawkins makes. Unlike Dawkins, he's read all the secondary literature on the topic, and has made significant contributions to that literature. Due to this, many theist philosophers of religion actually have a lot of respect for Oppy, even though they (of course) disagree with his conclusions–among philosophers of religion (whether theist or atheist), Dawkins is mostly viewed as an example of what happens when an expert in one field decides to write a book in a completely unrelated one, and their valuable contributions to the former field are no guarantee their attempt to contribute to the later will be of any value at all.
Not being familiar at all with the situation in SF these days, is this really the reason for closure?

I've noticed a pattern of using whatever convenient trendy excuse (crime in SF) for leadership to avoid stating the real reason that might cause them to be accountable for a bad decision (perhaps a low grossing store due to poor location market-fit analysis). I'm quite skeptical now when reading these trendy rationalizations.

> But it’s not so simple to just “program the memory logic”.

But, it is. The application domain here is fairly trivial, but the logic is both simple and highly general.

> but what would be required to achieve increasingly complex behaviors?

Basically, three things on top of this:

(1) more input adaptors to map external data into language, and

(2) a bigger context space to process more current & retrieved data simultaneously, and

(3) more output adaptors to map intentions expressed in language to substantive action.

But the basic memory/recall system seems fairly robust and general, as does the basic interaction system.
No such thing as $35 Hakko. There are crap $35 Hakko clones, they are BAD. Anything that uses 900 series tip is bad and should be avoided.

It doesn't matter what society thinks. Free speech is self-evident, as natural as breathing—it needs no philosophical justification. Society may try to deny it, but in doing so they deny what it means to be human
If it is true that a college degree can pay for itself in a few years after graduation, then the amount of demand for college degrees would rise (it's a no brainer to do it right?).

But the production of college degrees is somewhat limited by the availability of positions, and is not infinite. Therefore, if demand rises but not the supply, the cost _must_ rise to match. Therefore, after some time, the cost of a college degree slowly grows to match the potential future value of having that degree (fuelled by free debt).

I think at some point in the last couple years, the cost of a college degree has, on average, grown to almost match the future value in earnings accounting for the debt repayment.
Do you have a rough idea of how much they're worth? I'm curious if something similar to so-called "bottle bills"[0] could fix that.

That corner is well known as one of the worst in the city. The first time I ever saw someone OD in person was directly across the street - dude was slumped over in the classic fentanyl lean when I went in, and by the time I came out there was another homeless man yelling at people asking for narcan. Bunch of dealers (who I assume sold it to him) standing right by his body too, looking super nonchalant. Pretty surreal experience.
I think your torque wrench example gets to the point of what I was trying to get at. My torque wrenches are Matco, as are my 'good' sockets. And I have a nice set of Mitutoyo calipers in my box for when I need the precision.

But for an awful lot of the regular work, it's Harbor Freight magnets, HF welding blankets and soapstone, HF clamps, HF grinders. You learn what works best for your dollar, and very often, it's erring not on the side of the more expensive stuff.
I think Reagan was an absolute disaster responsible for a lot of our problems today, but this isn’t one of them. Mental institutions of Reagan’s era were a humanitarian nightmare. But, I am not sure there is a humane solution to serious mental illness. It requires the attention and care that probably only immediate family members are capable of providing, while simultaneously requiring medical treatment and security that only mental institutions are capable of providing.

The problem we are having today is we’ve excused criminal behavior due to mental illness. I agree prison probably is inappropriate in most cases, but so is just letting them back on the street.
You can start with a little DIY $40 JBC handle + C245 tip + panel controller, add $20 24V/8AA supply and you are good to go.

Aftermarket head units should have two power inputs - one for standby, and one that only gets power when "accessory power" is on. Every car I've owned I've been able to wire it up so that works, then it only turns fully on when the car is on.

I avoid very new cars like the plague though, so not sure how different they are.

It makes me anxious thinking about all the bullshit in new cars - touch screens, coded parts, 4G connections with GPS tracking, etc etc.

Agree on the complexities. 'Viability' has to be conceived more widely than just a technical sense. Fission a good example, as you suggest. A dead duck in most of the world. As is wide-scale decarbonisation! We know that (a) it is technically feasible, and (b) it is politically infeasible. So decarbonisation is actually not viable, despite appearing technically possible from a narrow perspective.

This also makes commercail fusion very unlikely to happen in this civilisational iteration. It requires large advanced economies with highly functional and specialised supply chains. These conditions won't exist once climate refugees sweep the world in their billions, and wars break out everywhere. If, indeed, given Russia/Ukraine, and the joint determination of China & the US to go to war, we even last that long.

I've noticed if I give chat GPT an algorithm it gives me consistent results when it shows it's work but if I ask it not to show it's work and just give me the answer. It consistently gives me incorrect answers even when I ask it to follow an algorithm that I gave it.

I suppose this is similar to humans and probably why my school teachers always told me to show my work, but I'm curious if this has been documented and if there are any explanations for why it works this way with LLMs.
