Totally agree. For me the most important metric is to what extent a person has made use of the opportunities available to them. I would hire a passionate and engaged community college grad who has hobbies before someone who went to a "top" school but only has grades to show for it.
Also, I would expect the government can crack passwords more cheaply than hiring normal commercial cloud compute.

Everything from negotiating good prices, to having their own or reserved cloud so the cost is having the ability to do it more than actually doing each crack, to asking an ally for help.

Would be kinda shocking if they pay the sticker price for this stuff.
The way to "fix" meat consumption is to ensure that the externalities are accounted for in their cost (which currently isn't). In fact, this applies to _everything_, not just red meat.

Meat that has less externalities will surely be cheaper then - such as chicken/poultry, and even fish or insect proteins.

The fact that the paid cost of red meat for a consumer is not reflective of their true cost is the meat of the issue to me.
Your second citation simply says that someone made a breakthrough discovery that the particles could be identified in some subjects. It doesn’t conclude that they “can’t be flushed out”

Your third citation is a weird ranty blog about everything from anarcho-capitalism anti-vaccine rants that is more angry than informative, but it’s somewhat beside the point: We are making laws to reduce microplastics deliberately introduced to products. Asking the entire world to stop using plastics immediately isn’t a real option. Individual action does have a significant effect, as the highest numbers of microplastic/nanoplastic particles are found directly inside of plastic containers like plastic water bottles. Several orders of magnitude higher than your government-provided tap water.

Oh, the great old anti-imperialism and victimhood of r-country. This story flies much better with people not exposed to russian language and prevalence of ethnic slur in it.
I suppose what they are saying is smaller parts of the microplastics were apparently breaking off and entering the brain as nano-sized, none of the samples fed were nano-sized.
If I recall, there was a Wired article about this problem.

Original European settlers brought over domesticated hogs during colonization. I believe to raise and to hunt. They eventually were abandoned or got out and starting breeding with wild hogs.

> Physical control becomes so valuable that the country tears itself apart to get at the money.

The article, however, does not have any concrete thoughts on how exactly the gold is connected to the current round of fighting. Other analyses suggest that it was inevitable anyway since (i) the agreed-upon scheme of transition of power to the civilian government did not entail any actual transition of power to the civilian government (the scheme must have been implemented by the military, which does not want to relinquish power) and (ii) the proposed scheme to combine two military factions into a single one was unworkable. Given that RSF already seems to control the gold-producing region, there is no self-evident resource-based reason for it to try and capture the capital.

These are descended from laptops and 20 years ago laptops had already perfected the engineering for a two-year target lifetime.

The further back you go, portables were still mainly business machines not expected to be affordable to most students, and businesses really didn't want to send their people out with more than a two-year-old laptop or wearing a suit much older either.

I literally lived in an apartment, in an area with lots of apartments, so I know not everyone in LA lives in a house with a backyard. I wasn’t even a student, it was just too expensive to rent a house even on a tech salary.

We looked at lots of places around LA before renting in Westwood, lots of apartments. The apartment came with a parking spot, we owned a car.

Now, ya, there were lots of SFHs, just that not everyone or even nearly everyone was living in an SFH.

With voice to speech and predictive text I can write text on my tiny mobile keyboard pretty fast with good enough accuracy for correspondence type messages.

I can do this from anywhere on Earth and I won't have to bring a heavy laptop. Every pound I can cut helps when I have to travel.

I think people's issue is less with the race swap, even in a docudrama, but more the defense of it as being more genuinely correct race for the role. That's just intentionally misleading as as you say an ideology decision.

There would probably be very little hubbub, if they wouldn't have said anything or said with all factors considered we picked who we thought would be the best actress for the role because we're presenting a historical drama not history lesson.

At the end of the day there is no bad press as they say. People are talking about it which means people are going to watch it. So maybe this was a well calculated free media campaign.
Usually you can't realistically vote the dictator out long before they invade somebody. For example Łukaszenko in Belarus made it impossible to vote him out in 90s already. Putin in early 00s.

Russians and Belarusians made their mistakes back then. Now it's just a consequence of not fighting for their democracy strongly enough when it was still possible.

This is the thing that kills democracy - it is taken away from you very slowly, step by step, and at any given moment it looks like it's not a big deal. And then when it's a big deal - you realize it doesn't matter what people think. You can't change anything.

In my country (Poland) the fight is still going on, but I'm not optimistic.
Second stage (Starship) has always had different engines (both in quantity and construction; some are vacuum Raptors) than Super Heavy. Lunar Starship is itself a variant of the regular second stage; it'll need the cargo elevator, for example, which is shown in NASA's announcement graphics.

> for the terminal descent of Starship, a few tens of meters before we touch down on the lunar surface, we actually use a high-thrust RCS system, so that we don't impinge on the surface of the Moon with the high-thrust Raptor engines. ... uses the same methane and oxygen propellants as Raptor.

I don't think you correctly calculate bandwidth in this case. You assume 1 bit per neuron per tick, but time when it fires within the tick also matters, and that information is missing from multipliers.

Also, there's no reason to use data from optical nerves as input, as it is already precompressed. You should be counting optical receptors instead (120 000 000).

Especially given the average prognosis of technological progress north of a certain point is dystopia.

Except in this case on a societal level you average the guesses and they come out as "dystopia" but the underlying distribution contains plenty of wildly inaccurate guesses of "eutopia".

In the stores fish and meat are different aisles.

And the discussion is about carbon footprint, not veganism.
The jacket is preventing heat loss via convection. You literally can't prevent heat loss from radiation. By the zeroth law, an object with specific temperature is at thermal equilibrium with photonic heat bath at the same temperature. If you look at the interface between them, whether there's CO2 there or a black body doesn't matter, because you could replace it with photonic heat bath. The comparison to greenhouse (convection) and to jacket (again, thermal convection / conduction) is misleading exactly because it evokes the wrong intuition.

The better comparison is to a black hole. Literally nothing can escape it - not even light - so it is much worse than CO2. Yet it still has a temperature, and it still emits radiation according to its temperature. You cannot absorb more than black body.

The "better than air at absorbing" isn't an arbitrary statement. It comes from extra degrees of freedom in the gas that can absorb the heat. And the difference in absorbing thermal heat between any two systems MUST be a result of their temperature difference, because they must be at equilibrium if they have the same temperature.

If any two systems of the same temperature had a difference in energy emitted by radiation between them, that would violate the second law, and you would create temperature differences between them (heat would flow) and extract work from the temperature difference without needing a colder reservoir.

On the contrary this war is Putin's multiyear bet on Russia's useful idiots in the West.

US Republicans overwhelmingly supported US military aid to Ukraine in the beginning of the war. However Tucker Carlson and other populists spend the next 12 months lowering that support to less than 40%.

The only reason Russia started this war is because they believed their useful idiots in the West will save them. They are yet to be proved wrong.

Based on my limited/high-level understanding of the SMSWB and TxtNet projects, your assessment sounds about right to me.

Re: UX for Awala-compatible apps, I totally agree it's going to be difficult for people who are used to standard Internet apps, like web browsers. In fact, I'd say it's going to be even more challenging for people in those regions where they do have smartphones/PCs but have never had any connection to the Internet.

In both cases, I believe the solution is to totally rethink the common UX patterns we employ in networked apps, where the lack of connectivity would be treated as an exceptional event that the user has to sort out.[1]

This is top of mind for me and I'm actively working on a partnership with other organisations in this field to produce a guide for UX designers. I'm hoping we get to announce it and get to work on it in the coming weeks!

None. Serde is strongly, strictly typed: you have to specify what type you want to decode to. It’s nothing like Python’s Pickle protocol.

See, for example, https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/blob/484fcab0686dfd18c7e29b6c1..., where it (in a type-inferency way) says “parse as Config”.

The optimization is done in the JDK implementation (math shortcut) and then further taken advantage of by the JIT (inlining and constant folding).

How is this done?

The implementation of a `Spliterator` that is used internally by `IntStream.rangeClosed` overrides the `estimateSize` method to return `((long) upTo) - from + last`, and the `characteristics` method to return, among others, the `Spliterator.SIZED` characteristic. That characteristic indicates that `estimateSize` can be trusted to be exact, and when present, `estimateSize` will be used as a shortcut in the implementation of `Stream.count`, which can be seen in `ReduceOps.makeRefCounting`.
Yep, it's the `(wrap (wrap operative))` which stands out as strange. Thank you for the evaluator - factoring as a call which only acts on operatives makes it clear.

The inner call I expected was more like:

($cond (operative? c)
(apply c (cdr o) e)
(applicative? c)
(apply (unwrap c) (eval-list (cdr o) e) e)
(error "bad times"))

where that would only convert an applicative into an operative once. Interesting that you haven't come across a use for the multiple reduction on arguments.

The difficulty I have with the multiple wrap model is you don't know how many times to evaluate the arguments until you have evaluated the car of the list (I think your eval is missing an evaluation on the head of the list, probably at the let binding, as otherwise ((lambda (x) x) 42) fails).

- If the car of the list is an operative, call it on the arguments. Simple.

- If the car of the list is a applicative (wrap operative), eval the arguments, call it on the result.

Those extend easily to eval the head of the list first, once, and then test what sort of function it is. However given a function which evaluates the arguments N times (via N wraps over an operative), for N > 1, it feels like the head of the list should also be evaluated N times. But it can't be, because we don't know N until we know the head of the list.

That could be made to work with semantics of continue evaluating the head of the list until a fixpoint (e.g. a self-evaluating function), and then look at the tail, but that's a significant increase in complexity over evaluating the head exactly once.

The alternative setup would be (= (wrap (wrap an-operative)) (wrap an-operative)) where N wraps have the same effect as one. You lose some syntactic expressivity - functions that actually want to evaluate the arguments multiple times would have to call eval themselves instead of writing an extra wrap - but I think you get simpler core semantics.
The vast majority of microplastics aren’t deliveberaly introduced into products, but come from breakdown of “everyday” plastics. When you wash your polyester shirts, for instance. Or when your plastic containers are “recycled”.

Your characterization of having the entire world stop using plastics “immediately” is a strawman. We had decades. The amount of plastic has only grown, while R&D into non-biodegradable alternatives doesn’t get mych funding by comparison. The suggested solution is to have governments fund a UBI with Pigovian taxes. We can’t even pass this: https://csas.earth.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/...

We the People should be angry, since we and our children will have to live with the consequences of this dysfunction and inaction, and increase in production and consumption of these things which externalize the cost, thanks to the profit motive. The list of things in that third link goes way beyond plastics. This is how our system works. Ours is an environmentallh irresponsible generstion living on an ecological credit card. The individuals are distracted from banding together to vote in governments that will pass a Pigovian Tax and Dividend on an increasing number of negative externalities. It requires a political movement, and anger is a great motivator and uniting force.

In that third link, I list all the narratives individuals are told, in order to take focus away for governments and corporations, and onto shaming individuals into performing individual action downstream of the actual problem.

You took liberty to generalize what I said.

I was referring into technical implementations and what risks are included. It requires deep undertanding how these things work. Average user does not have it. Many aspects are invisible to the end-users, like the war against malware in App Store.

The end-user knows what they want in terms of end-result. How to to get the job done with a tool (app).
They can compare end-results.

Sometimes, however not all results all there to be compared. Because, they don’t understand what kind of tools can be actually created. They are happy with the current one because they think it is the best what can be.

Or, what else the tool can do besides their advertised functionality. Which can be malicious or harmful to user in another way.

Or tools could work in a better way, but are currently hindered for monetary gain.

All this requires specialised knowledge.

So I don't want to over-fit, and exclude people with skills and potential, just because they had different circumstances than I did.)
