So there's a bit of a weird fact about public libraries, which is that it probably wasn't on the normal internet (Internet1) but was in fact on Internet2 (see [1]).

Internet2 is used by hospitals, among other things, and as such has higher robustness requirements than Internet1. The pandemic created much higher demand for bandwidth from hospitals, forcing Internet2 providers to scramble to keep up in areas. As such, blocking high-bandwidth sites which are clearly lower priority than medical traffic might have actually been a reasonable move.

Regarding common disease vectors in insects, what is going on with ticks in the eastern US? 20 years ago I could go hiking in thousands of acres of pristine national forest and catch maybe one or two a year. Now I catch one or two per hike from local trails, picnicking, or even from the turf at a soccer game.
Yeah. I draw the line at magnetic monopoles, which are hypothetical (and it's not looking good for GUTs at the moment), but they are infinitely less bullshit than tachyons and such.

Wormholes and reactionless propulsion are too much for me. It's a cute idea, but I don't believe wormholes exist outside homework problems for students of GR.
This reminds me of an exercise I'll never forget from my Math Methods course: finding the derivative of arcsin(x).

It seems almost impossible because, just looking at it, there seems to be nothing you can do to simplify it. Then, out of sheer nothing-else-to-do-ism, you take the sin() of it and realize sin(arcsin(x)) = x. Take the derivative of both sides, apply chain rule and draw a right triangle and you have the answer.

Like the words the author uses for the integral, it's all valuable technique.
Which would be true, if Weimar germany was some sort of free speech heaven, which is what led to nazi germany. But it wasn't, and it didn't. The proof is literally right in your comment. One of the countries that had such unrestricted freedom of speech (the USA) was fighting the nazis, not being part of them. Weimar Germany had many more restrictions on speech than the USA had back then.

You might want to take a step back and consider that free speech had nothing to do with the holocaust. At most, it is a great way to justify censorship and pretend that restricting speech is somehow antifascist while also feeling morally superior, but it has no basis on reality.

Also, it is pretty ironic to say that the USA's policy is bad because they never had to see remanents of a holocaust... which is certainly a hot take.
Millions of dollars of product (e.g. gross revenue) is a statement about scale and impact, not personal profit.

I learned more from this type definition than anything I’ve ever read about TypeScript’s type system before:

a extends Zero ? b :
a extends Suc<infer n> ? Suc<apply<add, [n, b]>> :

never : never

When I was younger I routinely worked late nights (I’d work normal business hours, then go grab a subway and come back to the office and work until 10-12. I enjoy working alone at night, and I wasn’t using that free time productively, so I figured why not. It did help my career trajectory significantly.

As I’ve gotten older and have better uses for my time I find myself working a ~40hr week and checking out. Occasionally if I have a challenging problem that requires deep focus I’ll log on at night, but only because I like the satisfaction of “the grind” every now and then.

> The private sector basically can’t give IQ tests

False.

> but can give work-related skill tests that are extremely similar IQ tests.

Legally, the conditions in which the private sector can give work-related skills tests that are extremely similar to IQ tests are when they fulfill the exact same requirements with regard to those tests that they would need to fill with regard to IQ tests to be able to legally give them; if they are functionally very similar, the circumstances in which they will satisfy those conditions will also be very similar.

The fact that the case establishing the rule on disparate impact discrimination involved (among other hiring practices) the use of IQ testing doesn’t mean that the disparate impact rule applies differently to IQ testing than to other “extremely similar” tests.
So you’re saying we can expect batteries to scale?

It seems the government and schools keep trying to parent kids for some reason.

Alright, you want kids to have racially equal-ish academic progress? Make it the parents' problem.

I don't mean that parents should tutor their kids but rather pressure them and expect them to be #1. Unless your kid is mentally challenged then it is the parents' expectation and lack of discipline and parenting skills that is the problem.

Even facing racist teachers and kids a child can come out on top and prove them wrong. It is not a school teachers's job to discipline a child, morivate them or teach them perseverance. It is also not their job to reward and celebrate a child's achievements.

How then can you make parents do a good job at parenting when it comes to academics? Most people care about money so reward parents of academically performing kids with tax credits. This way you won't raise taxes or add fees but especially for poor parents having an extra grand or two on their tax refund is huge motivator. And if it really is the kids fault then they get the same amount of tax burden as usual.

And what if they get abusive? Well they'll get abusive anyways if they are so terrible anyways.and you can say that abour teachers and standardized tests as well.

Due to local zoning laws, my little shed can't be more than 10m2. The floorplan is 3.7m by 2.7m, give or take 20cm for studs, insulation and walls. As you can see from the image above, it's a little snug.

Why not cut back on general aviation flights first? My naive solution (granted I know little about ATC) would be to give commercial flights priority over GA flights if ATC is overloaded. No 8-seat business jet is more economically important than a 200-seat airliner. Say nothing of recreational piston-engine flights. At the very least slap a $5000 surcharge on every GA takeoff or something.
There are quite a lot of Indians with dedicated teaching setup teaching from their homes -- to American kids -- mostly Math and Science. The good ones are in hot demand and are difficult to get and/or are very costly (against the average Indian tuition fees).

My wife set up a tutor from our hometown (a north-eastern corner of India) and I did a Zoom setup complete with a separate camera mount that streams my kid's table (where she writes) (we are in Bangalore). The teacher on the other end is earning much better than the local counterpart for an hour a day, five days a week. And we have a good teacher to work with. In fact, a few other teachers have approached us by now.

The recent Pandemic has taught everyone that it is indeed possible to learn from anywhere in the world and stay anywhere (almost). A few families had had their kids enrolled in schools (USA, UK, Australia) which were (I think) meant and started for home-schooled kids, and those that do not want to be in physical classes, etc. but accelerated for everyone during the Pandemic. So, an Indian kid might just be sitting at her home learning from teachers across the globe speaking native languages - English, French, and what not.

The purple glasses they wear are didymium. Photographers use a less intense version of that material as a "red enhancer filter." The spectra of the glasses ( https://www.colby.edu/chemistry/CH332/laboratory/didym-spec.... ) have a very low transmission from 572 nm to 585 nm. That's a yellowish color. The sodium vapor lights (those yellow street lights) are 589 nm. For photography, if you block the yellow out of a muddy brownish-red you get a more vibrant red. For glass blowers, the yellow flame around the glass is the sodium in the material ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test - look at the sodium line). By blocking that yellow light, a glass blower is able to more clearly see through the flame to glass.

> She’s one of about 650 scientific glassblowers in the U.S., one of only a dozen or so women in the field, and one of even fewer third-generation scientific glassblowers. Running Arizona State University’s Glassblowing Facility as a one-woman operation, she’s carrying on a long but unheralded tradition that goes back to the makers of Galileo’s thermometer and Thomas Edison’s light bulb.

It's entertainment. People don't want to just look at the results for 10 seconds. What would they do with the next 29 minutes 50 seconds? They want to watch people and hear them talk, make jokes, work on setting up the experiment, etc. Same reason Mythbusters isn't 30 seconds per myth.

Sure. It was kept under conditions where if it was exposed to atmosphere it would immediately auto ignite and explode, obliterating about 10% of the chemical plant.

Explosion was the desirable alternative because the products of combustion were far less harmful.

When you hear stories from controllers both in the US and other nations about the constant pressure to cut corners and operate with fewer people I think you do need an organization to advocate for them.

Look at that midair in Europe (euro control) where one overnight controller was managing a giant chunk of airspace and was task saturated. Then afterwards all this scandal on how the contracting facility was cooking the books around staffing levels to look like things were on the up and up.

CA state elected lawmakers clearly wanted the utility companies to be the face of this policy which they created. As can be seen in this thread, a significant portion of those reading about this have a standing grudge against PG&E et. al.; it's not like their public image can get any lower, and by absorbing whatever public ire arises during the socialization and rollout of this policy, they provide some degree of cover/insulation between the public and the same CA state elected lawmakers who actually imposed the policy, and who just happen to regulate them.

CA voters asked for this kind of class warfare cast into the ever more intrusive laws that rule their everyday lives in ever increasing detail. The only problem is that unfortunately, even if you leave CA, wherever CA leads, most states eventually follow, because of both the "CA voter diaspora" phenomenon and CA shifting the Overton Window in directions that other state bureaucracies can only wait and dream of.

And I've not even commented on the practical "implementation details" you've raised related to the amount of personal information being disclosed to a debatably trustworthy/secure intermediary, and the definitional ambiguity between a "household" and the tax-filing entities that comprise it. I agree with all the points/objections you've raised and could probably think of quite a few more, but it's all moot: this policy is already the law of the land.

Although correlated, high math skills aren't a great proxy to the desired analytical skills you'd want. It is easily gamed with rote memorization if this test was discovered by an applicant pre-interview, as they would just prep for it (in which case, it ceases to be a good metric).

> Then you increase UBI.

That doesn't solve the problem I described. It makes it worse. See below.

> If the problem is a society does not have enough means to produce the basics like food/housing/energy, then that is a different discussion. But I am under the impression most developed countries can and do make enough of these things to keep their populations sheltered and fed.

Most developed countries are that way now, but that's without UBI. If UBI were widely available, wealth creation would decrease, because much, if not most, wealth creation in any country is done by people who have to create wealth in order to earn a living. UBI means people no longer have to create wealth to earn a living--at least, that's what the sales pitch will be, and failure to achieve that in the short term will create huge political pressure to increase UBI until it appears to achieve it. But any such achievement can only be temporary.

Now if we were to use advancing technology to make the necessities of life cheaper, that would indeed be progress--but it would be progress not by giving people handouts, but by making the necessities of life cheap enough that nobody needs a handout to get them.

I've probably spent at least an hour a day working in Stable Diffusion and Automatic1111 since January or so. At this point I'd call it my hobby, as instead of playing video games I'm plowing time into this. And I'm definitely seeing marked improvements in my style and what I'm looking for. I'll often start with a shotgun approach and make 64-128 pictures with a basic prompt of what I'm looking for. Sometimes there's a shape and basic composition that makes me gasp it's so much better than the others. So I'll feed that into img2img or inpainting, iterate on it, tweak settings that I just sort of have an intuitive feel for what turning the knobs does, and while away for an hour or two to make it exactly what I want. There's definitely a "dreamy fantasy art style" I'm a big fan of that would have cost me an absolute fortune to commission even one image a year ago. I can't match what is coming from the top artists on Artstation (I tried a few weeks back which was humbling, some astounding work). But it's good enough that my D&D buddies are entertained and amazed that I went through and made each one of their characters.

Our DM, being someone who has released creative works, was reticent and less gung-ho on AI for awhile until he decided to start playing with the AI tools (Midjourney in his case) for a new custom campaign he's running. He's suddenly able to develop novel NPC tokens for every important character we meet, the monsters are high resolution and the convenience of using Midjourney in Discord (which he already uses to coordinate our online D&D games) has been a huge boon and enhancement to how much fun and immersive our games are. A year ago this would have cost literally tens of thousands of dollars. He's a published fantasy author so prompting aka describing a scene comes naturally to him. It's been a lot of fun seeing what he's coming up with.

I'm really loving the spark of creativity I've been finding in myself where the turnaround on the old tools was too long for me to not get frustrated and give up, and to see it amongst my friends, even the ones who were initially skeptical.
