Perhaps it's already here. In reference to a different thread about Japan's population decline, it is supposed there that advanced economies lead to population decline (via below replacement birthrates) and require immigration to sustain them. The problem is that those immigrants who choose to remain are that they or their decendents will eventually suffer the same below replacement birthrate. If everywhere becomes an advanced economy, then in theory, everywhere would suffer the same fate, and the great filter has won. But it's just a supposition, right.
Almost every other industry makes some kind of attempt to do exactly that because consumers want simple choices.

I just found out about Thiamine (vitamin B1) megadose therapy for Parkinson's:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3762356/

Another study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26505466/

> Conclusions: Administration of parenteral high-dose thiamine was effective in reversing PD motor and nonmotor symptoms. The clinical improvement was stable over time in all the patients. From our clinical evidence, we hypothesize that a dysfunction of thiamine-dependent metabolic processes could cause selective neural damage in the centers typically affected by this disease and might be a fundamental molecular event provoking neurodegeneration. Thiamine could have both restorative and neuroprotective action in PD.

It depends what do you call 'pretty orderly'. FRC was trading at 120$/share in January, 15$/share a week ago, and 1.5$/share on Friday after hours.

Pretty close to the Bear Stearns path if you ask me ! When Bear Stearns was bought by JPM, there wasn't an immediate collapse of everything - no contagion or anything. On the surface that is.

The underlying problems of this crisis are still there - JPM buying (or ... being forced to buy) FRC doesn't solve any of those problems. It's just buying time.

Commodore biz decisions were, to steal an expression, a Fractal of Bad Biz Design.

Even the tragically underpowered CD32 and Amiga 1200 machines would have been twice as fast for gaming if they had 64 kilobytes of extra RAM. Why? They had 2 megs, of "slow" RAM, slow because it shared bus cycles with the graphics and because CPU caches had to be turned off.

It they had just a sliver of dedicated CPU RAM, games could have put inner loops in that RAM and achieved 2 to 4 times the speed in many calculations.

You could buy expansion RAM (2 megs or 4 megs were common) which did that, but very few customers did, and almost no games took advantage.

This was at the tail end of Commodore life, but it's such an obvious example of penny wise, pound foolish decision.

If you end up concluding "the problem is most people", then you are likely missing the point. Rules need to work for everyone. Including those who are newcomers, those who don't have the time to study them, or who aren't educated enough to understand them fully. If "most people" refuse to use them, then clearly there's an underlying problem and blaming it on them simply sweeps it under the carpet.

In Norway soda-bottles where reused before, but it's many years since this practice stopped. I can not think of a single commonly used consumer glass container which is reused.

I would think a container could be reused alot more the 12-20 times though. Or is breakage during transportation and handling common enough to compress this number?

> still struggling to even feed itself.

I don't think so, especially considering the plague. The economy was already set up to feed a lot more mouths than survived the plague, and places like Florence were the destination for many of those newly wealthy. The guilds also exercised political power, behaving as organized monopolies. You would think that monopolies are bad for the economy, but they were markedly different from today's monopolies in that their internal organization foreshadowed today's systems of democracy and a strong civil society.

So, to think of this as a golden age of artisanship, and to think that the phenomenon reached even into commoners' lives, is certainly more than mere romanticizing about the past ...though I don't claim to have a good quantitative grasp of it either.

Exploration seems like a natural way for civilisation to live, but that's because exploration is needed to expand knowledge and grow more intelligent, we as a civilisation mostly became obsessed with intellect dozens generation ago, if not less, and gathering knowledge and exploring for us seems so important right now. It might be less important if important at all for species who have been intelligent for a long time and gathered orders of magnitude more knowledge than we do.

Related question is do species really need intellect at all and how much. It could be that the main purpose of intellect is to increase chances to survive, but what if civilisation already figured survival, will they even need to stay intelligent? Maybe their goal is to be happier or maybe have billion orgasms per second.

Another more obvious reason to explore the universe is lack of resources, at least Earth was mostly explored to be exploited. If resources are solved, one reason to explore less.

I come from a chess family. My dad has been an avid chess player for all his life, with a rating of around 1600. As kids we all went to the chess club, got our chess diploma's, played a few tournaments (my sister won a lot), I won a simultaneous chess game the author of the standard Dutch children's chess book in my youth gave in the shopping center near my home. But after that, I stopped. Played a few games in university who could really humiliate me on the board.

I taught my oldest son both chess and go, and when we played, I never held back, but when he was so far behind he didn't know what to do, he could turn the board around and continue play from my winning position, while I had to salvage his. That was a fun way to play. And then it stopped again.

Last year, my youngest son (now 8) suddenly wanted to join a chess club in our neighbourhood. My oldest (14) says lots of kids are playing chess at his school, though none at his level, so he started playing on chess.com. Instead of watching YouTube videos about video games, they're now watching GothamChess and other chess channels. So chess is hot again in our home. He now occasionally beats me. Making me work harder, to the point that the games between me and my dad are getting a lot closer (though I still lose most).

I can really recommend GothamChess, by the way. His videos are brilliant. Both meme-worthy, exaggerated emotions, deadpan disappointment at some moves, but also extremely educational. He analyses lots of novice games around 600 rating, which is super useful for the many new players, but also still interesting to me.

Tree-sitter grammars take more effort than textmate ones for the most basic highlighting, but provide less accurate parse trees than a compiler could use for more advanced features and highlighting. I understand what they were going for but I don't "get" the trade-off.

At least as long as the parse trees are inherently worse: Even ignoring context-dependent grammars, last time I checked tree-sitter parsers had many edge cases in which they'd accept invalid syntax but not mark the parse trees as bad, which makes them unsuitable for compiler use.

Russia has large airpower equipped with heavy guided bombs (think JDAMs), which it only has started to use seriously due to the depletion of UA's long-range anti-air defenses (old Soviet S300 systems).

The problem is that Western long-range AA systems are exorbitantly expensive (~$1 bln for a Patriot system), take very long time to produce, and the West simply doesn't have it in quantities that could replace the rapidly depleting Soviet systems. Also, those expensive AA missiles get quickly attrited by cheap Iranian drones.

This is because the Western doctrine has always been about gaining air supremacy via airforce (fighter jets + AWACS + long-range air-to-air missiles complex), which UA doesn't have, and the US seems to be reluctant to supply Ukraine with all that — as they publicly say in the fear of escalation, but more likely due to the price tag.

So if that stance doesn't change, Russia would start bombing UA with heavy 1500kg+ munitions all over the place (inflicting very serious damage), and there is really not much UA could do with that, unfortunately.

This actually seems pretty significant.

1) It gets us closer to understanding the pathology:

>> It also suggests that alpha-synuclein aggregation in spinal fluid is not a life-long trait but rather acquired as part of a disease biology process that ultimately gives rise to symptoms.

2) It gives us a higher resolution of detection.

>> αSyn-SAA can distinguish Parkinson’s from control volunteers with a stunningly robust sensitivity of 88 percent and specificity of 96 percent.

3) It shows different disease subtypes or mechanisms:

>> These results suggest that not all cases of clinical Parkinson’s symptoms are associated with the accumulation of alpha-synuclein aggregates as detected by this assay, and that LRRK2 variant carriers, in particular, may not show this pathology.

4) It gets us earlier signal:

>> This finding suggests that synuclein pathology could be detectable by this assay earlier than dopamine dysfunction is seen with DAT imaging, extending the window in which it may be possible to intervene with preventive therapies.

This is a valuable tool that will shed light on the entire disease pathology and guide further research and investigation into treatments.

> Extracting sand for glass production may also have contributed to the current global sand shortage.

The same is true for the Dutch royal family. Technically the king appoints the ministers / secretaries of state and has to sign every law before it becomes official. Practically he signs the things the elected government wants him to sign.

If he starts to take a direct political stance on things they would remove his powers. The constitution can be changed by a 2/3rd majority in parliament, a king that starts to "use" his powers would be opposed by far more than 2/3rd of parliament regardless of their political affiliations.

Here in Western Australia, the average cropped area per farm is almost 3,000 acres. From my perspective, 2,000 acres is a small-ish farm, and the 50-100 acre farms surrounding my parents' house in Scotland are comically small, heavily-subsidised gardens.

GP may be wrong about the USA as a whole, though I'm sure there are areas of the US where 2,000 acres would indeed be a small farm.

> not a single country should interfere with this

I'd rather say "a single country should not interfere with this". IF we have a "simple" internal conflict between local factions, then it should be an international community (the UN, or an agreed conference of major international and local powers) that steps in and ensures mediation. However, this happens very rarely. The reasons it happens very rarely is that major powers such as US, China, Russia, pretty much always have some opposing interests even in local conflicts. When there are no interests, conflicts just end up forgotten and nobody cares, but that's not good either.

So my take on "should the rest of the world interfere" is - yes, but only if the rest of the world does so by agreement.
