On the one hand, good on her for taking a bold stance. I don't agree with it at all, but I appreciate the conviction.

On the other hand, this makes some of her criticisms (e.g. supersymmetry being unphysical) ring a little hollow. But perhaps there's a banger paper on the way. I'll wait until there's something more substantial to chew on.

I'm not arguing for some sort of protein gruel or standard diet; my comment wasn't advocating for "only eggs", just reacting to what you share.

I am stating that it seems inarguable to me that the benefits of meaningfully reducing or even eliminating animal consumption far outweigh the negatives (note: I'm not a vegetarian). The concerns about protein completeness are real, but they have to stand in the sunlight of the full picture, and when viewed that way it doesn't appear to be some unsolveable riddle.

So I'm not arguing the point, I'm arguing against the implicit takeaway that comments like yours can appear to make: that meaningfully reducing or eliminating animals from our diets isn't a goal worth pursuing.

Sure, but no one is comparing a quarterback with a physicist or in this case a programmer. I just think that our field is developing descriptions of ourselves to over embellish what we actually do and it's not necessary. We sit behind computers, think, and write code. We're not swashbuckling, throwing stars, or grappling with opponents in the streets.
The more interesting discussion would be with what to do about that. So far I haven't seen society was able to solve that (and should it?).

E.g. Communism tried to solve the problem, but failed miserably, not only not resolving the problem, but also became a good excuse for imperialistic land capture.

The closest to the fix came the countries top of the "Social Mobility Index", what we can learn from them?

I actually used Anki cards to study LeetCode problems when preparing for interviews and it seemed to help. After doing a problem and solving it I created the card as such:

- Front of card is the entire LC problem statement

- Back is a bulleted list of the steps or key points (ie. first I notice this list is unsorted, so I would sort first, next I would do blah blah..)

- Back also contains the code solution that I might just glance through or look at a particular part of it.

Analog circuits are ones that primarily deal with the processing and manipulation of analog signals, while digital circuits are those that primarily deal with digital signals. Refer to my prior reply for the difference between analog and digital signals.

A clock is not necessary in this definition. For example a simple logic AND gate is digital and has no clock. The input is not captured or latched before being modified; nevertheless it is a digital circuit.

There is a type of criticism where the author seems to expect respect for their outsider status and anti-tribal attitude, which they see as increasing their objectivity, and this seems to liberate them to criticize viewpoints labeled "tribal" without sufficient substance.

It's the substance of a criticism that validates it, not a self-assessed position as an objective outsider.

It's Sabine Hossenfelder but I get the mistake.
Some of the best science ever done is through that lens though. Cantor's work on cardinality, relativity, bioelectric networks (more recently). Sometimes it's important to revisit the foundational priors your structures are relying on and make sure they're as sturdy as you remember/your peers are telling you.

That isn't to say that Hossenfelder's bold prediction is necessarily true. But that by double-checking the rudiments themselves, we might find _better_ rudiments.

Consider the axiom of choice. We know it can't be constructed from ZF alone, and so we just throw it in sometimes. But - ZF's axioms are constructed for practical purposes as well. While they are taken as basic principles, they have been carefully studied and analyzed to avoid inconsistencies and paradoxes. The axioms provide a stable foundation for set theory that has effectively served as the groundwork for modern mathematics. But that is a construct made from necessity for rigor - not necessity for the "true" model.

That last bit about "true" models delves into philosophy territory. But the point isn't that Hossenfelder is right or wrong. It's that studying these rudiments and finding holes in them can sometimes be the correct place to go looking for new theory.

And also, I think it's abundantly clear from her tone and choice of words that her bold "prediction" is designed to get you thinking about this stuff in that frame of mind and not something she would actually bet millions on. If I had to guess, she probably feels more akin to Knuth does on P vs NP - that if P does equal NP, it will still have no bearing in practice for other quite interesting reasons.

> the heir seeking to expropriate it

Capital owners all inherited their capital, I take it?

> Feudal pre-capitalist society did not need unemployment, but capitalist society does

The high productivity of capitalist societies plus technological advances mean that people can be unemployed without starving to death. Feudal societies did not need unemployment because everyone was working to the bones.

> the workers creating wealth have more leverage to keep more of the wealth they created

I encourage everyone to negotiate as much of their share as they can. But if the underlying thesis was true and capitalists provided no value and workers all of the value, then the world's best companies would be worker cooperatives. I see no evidence that this is the case.

> Women look for success(money) in a mate

Do you have some sources for these, or are you just typing "common knowledge" that is almost certainly coming from a massive place of societal bias against women?

Even IF I were to accept the BS that women only care about money, that doesn't excuse the part of the comment that says "complete independence and hookups that they consider 'empowering'", you can see the sneer on this commenter's face as he says that.

It literally is a neckbeard saying 'women don't want to be with me, they only want to be "empowered" by Chad or a sugar baby for Brad'

If you want to acknowledge differences, you must:
* first not make ridiculous generalizations
* second provide sources
* third not try to rug sweep the part of the sentence that gives away its motivations to avoid acknowledging your own prejudice

It's pretty dang hateful to imply women only care about money or being sluts. It's also very telling that MEN who want hookups are merely doing so because they "look for beauty and purity".

I'm honestly enraged, this is ridiculous. Straight out of the 90s shit.

Well, most governments have had 'pro-family' politics that are against teen pregnancy; but in favour of getting married and raising children.

So they don't want to lower the sex-vs-age chart for all ages, they want to add a step function to it, so it's zero at age 19 but high at age 23.

Lowering the chart for all ages was never the goal, which might be why we've never seen politicians celebrating the current state as the successful delivery of their election promises.

The problem is that it isn’t banks that provide the mortgages, but banking personnel that will be retired in 30-40 years and wants to get bonuses or promotions now.

Pension funds may have a longer time horizon and might pressure CEOs into taking a longer-term view, but there, too, it’s not “pension funds”, but “pension fund personnel” and they also get judged on (relatively) short-term investment gains.

Yes, there’s a limit. Right now it’s 4000 tokens (gpt4 has a 32k model but i don’t think it’s available yet, at least with chatgpt). Once you near the limit, chatgpt will start dropping previous messages to stay under the limit. I don’t know what their algorithm is for deciding what to drop. It could be as simple as dropping the oldest stuff. Or maybe taking a long message and replacing it with a summary. But at a certain point, the conversation becomes “lossy”.

My P1 isn't great either, largely due to the nvidia GPU consuming more power than anything else in the machine. But other lenovo laptops (with integrated GPUs, and AMD cpus) are pretty fantastic on the battery lifetime front.

That said, I think the software stack these days has more to do with it than anything. As I mentioned in another comment its entirely possible to get the power consumption of AMD laptops into the 3-4W range with a modern linux kernel, light browsing, emacs, etc. And that is largely in my case due to assuring there aren't any background tasks consuming CPU time, and running powertop --autotune, assuring inactive HW is turned off when its not being used, cpus are spending most of their time in deep sleep, etc. All stuff that the mac is basically doing out of the box (or running background tasks on low power, etc cores). While I'm getting 15+ hours out of a fairly pedestrian 65Wh battery, which is pretty amazing since the screen and assorted devices (disk, ram, etc) are probably 1-2W of the total. Now all this goes to sh*t when I start running a compiler, or other CPU intensive work, but from my experience that happens on the M1 macs as well, which can get quite toasty and kill the battery life if left building software for an hour or more. Powertop, turbostat, cpupower are all useful diagnostic tools as well as disabling stuff in the BIOS, or powering stuff off (or at least into lower power modes) via the kernel/ACPI power methods.

(presumably some of the more efficient intel might be good too if one clamps the CPU freq/etc I've just not tried one, but i'm pretty happy with a couple of their older generation i3/i5 desktop machines).

Windows used to be reasonably good, but I get the feeling the new generation (modern standby anyone?) isn't as dedicated, and hence the machine isn't forced into a S3 like mode when the lid is closed. Combined with the apparently fragmented way the OS is built means the people in charge of power mgmt can't tell the people in charge of windows defender to get bent or any other part of the platform that excessively consumes power. So that said, the P1's support linux, which means there is an option for S3 in the BIOS, flip it on, and run the windows task schduler/runon/etc features and kill anything that can wake the laptop. That should keep it from running the fans in your bag. There used to be an option in the windows power control panel to select the action for lid close too, if its still there, then set it to sleep (S3) or hibernate (S4).

Wow, ChatGPT seems to be better at rationalization than many human beings I know. When asked to find evidence supporting a position, it wrote up a fake article as if written by an actual reporter at the Guardian, and showed the fake article as evidence, in order to remain consistent with its position.

When asked about the made-up article, the reporter "couldn’t remember writing the specific piece, but the headline certainly sounded like something they would have written. It was a subject they were identified with and had a record of covering." The Guardian adds: "Worried that there may have been some mistake at our end, they asked colleagues to go back through our systems to track it down. Despite the detailed records we keep of all our content, and especially around deletions or legal issues, they could find no trace of its existence. Why? Because it had never been written."

People make stuff up all the time to rationalize their current positions and past decisions, but most human beings would find it difficult or impossible to write up and cite a fake article that can fool anyone on-the-spot. It's more than a little worrisome.
