Edit: okay, downvote me, but English is absurd sometimes. Imagine trying to teach a person who doesn't know English at all, from first principles, the extreme difference between a trap street and a trap house in common USA slang vernacular.
In stark contrast to those 2 examples of Notion and Figma, consider Obsidian. With its massive OSS plugin ecosystem, it approximates their combined capabilities, but has a foundation of offline-first, local markdown files.
In bash, you can use `declare -n`. E.g.

var=world
declare -n tmp="hello_$var"
tmp=value
printf '%s\n' "$hello_world" # value

I highly recommend this pattern if you want to emulate jagged 2d arrays or other nested data structures in bash for some reason.

The point of the natural gas stove ban in new construction is to stop building additional natural gas infrastructure. Building new pipes to new housing will lock us in to decades of additional natural gas use.

I expect natural gas for heating will be the long pole of greenhouse gas emissions. Eventually we'll have to disassemble what we already have. For some areas, it may make sense to do that soon.

Boston, for example, has old and leaky natural gas pipes that have been found to be leaking tons of methane into the atmosphere and causing occasional explosions. The city will probably have to invest billions of dollars into repairing its natural gas distribution pipes in the next 10-20 years, which would remain in use for 50-60 years more.

Or, they could spend a bit more money, convert everyone to induction cooktops and heat pumps, and get rid of the natural gas altogether.

There is so much they don't understand about their own product.

Their motto "dive into anything" means go deep. Yet logged out viewers are only shown a depth of one or two levels of comments, and they recently toyed with dropping the maximum depth of comments from 10 to 5 on both the redesign and old reddit. Basically, they are copying other social media comment sections because they forgot their niche and they think the other model is more successful. I expect what will happen is existing users will leave, and nobody will come from other platforms to fill the gap.

One of their most popular draws has been AMAs from public figures, and they haven't done much else in this vein.

They could be hosting written debates from well known figures. Constrain their responses in length and number, say one comment per day, max 500 words, on controversial subjects like DEI [1].

Instead they want to lock it all down (to sanitize for advertisers? Or perceived popular viewpoints?). Meanwhile the only metric they consistently report, number of upvotes, is down 48% YoY! It was 46 billion in 2021 [2] and 24 billion in 2022 [3].

But, additionally, advertisers aren't going to play for a platform that has no users.

You have to cater to them in some way shape or form or they're going to find a platform that does.

That's how reddit got popular in the first place.
Usually rivers don't count against 'landlocked'. It does seem a bit silly though, there's a ton of ship traffic on the Great Lakes and through the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic.
Universities will often let admitted students visit, sometimes overnighting with a host who is a current student, before they enroll. You can also take your kids to visit, take a tour, etc. Visits are especially helpful if your kids' choice set includes liberal arts colleges, which can have pretty unique cultures and be hard to rank (e.g., Reed College used to publicly spar with US News and was always under-ranked, St John's College is a totally unique educational model, etc.). And there a plethora of books with short blurbs explaining the character of different universities.

The truth is most college bound kids in the US go to the best state school that they get into. Maybe, for example, they choose Virginia Tech over Virginia if they are interested in engineering. But there's often not a ton of thought put into it. I'm glad you're thinking deeper about this though.

Nice website! Dunno if you're the owner but I'd add "obvious" to your list of words to scan. Nothing's more frustrating than when the author says "and obviously [not obvious thing]"

Actually this reminds me of a funny story about a math professor. He's teaching a class and is going through a proof and skips part of it, saying "I'll skip this part because it's trivial." A student comes up after class and asks about the trivial part. He tries to explain it for a few minutes, and can't quite get it, and the student has to go to her next class, so they agree to revisit the issue next class.

The next day the professor tells the student "I stayed up all night working on this and can confirm that it is indeed trivial"

Also, isn't the British Monarchy the only one Americans have had cause to take up arms against, multiple times? (To the point where we still do annual re-enactments of some of the events?)
I don't think it's something to blame Americans for. The reason the English monarchy gets so much more attention is for two main reasons (I'm not sure which is more important):

1. English language and media being more widespread than e.g. Danish

2. The commonwealth - the English monarch is also the (figure)head of the commonwealth which is another ten or so countries spread across the globe.

There are other reasons too - perhaps tourism plays a big part. If you visit London then you'll almost certainly go to Buckingham palace to see the stupid palace guards and all that pomp. Millions of people do it every year and are told the Queen/King is living right there. Especially if you're a child that puts them into an important position in your imagination.

I don't think this amount of pompous touristy bullshit surrounds any other modern monarch.

And finally, a large swath of English people either love or hate the monarch, while a large swarth of Irish also hate them, both of which fuel attention. Most other European monarchs are just sort of... there, to my understanding.
Maybe there's engineers / developers working like this. Most likely it's a reflection of company culture.

Yes… it’s also significantly cheaper than I high end gas stove?

We’re talking about appliances here, OP was comparing a high end gas stove’s output to electric. My point is that my couple hundred dollar unit can replicate many of the things OP was claiming you’d need to buy a $5,000-$10,000 gas stove for (though I am in no way suggesting that these are equivalent in functionality to each other).
The only difference I see between your perspective and gp’s is timescale of change. Gp says current conditions are product of current human nature and the bounds can shift slowly. You’re more optimistic that the change can come fast. As you point out, we’ve changed a lot in the past few thousand — a small fraction of the species history. But gp is also sound in being skeptical of expecting radical change in a single-digit number of human lifespans. So for those of us with an opportunity to respond to this thread, for better or for worse, being able to engage with “corporations” and other extant shapes of power structures may be adaptive and strategic.

They'll also arrest your staff and send them to jail for contempt of court and stealing your victims' money.

> we don't know exactly what is happening

There is another technology that produced a similarly startling mystery -- the ouja board, introduced in 1890. That one, we figured out. The messages came from the depths of the human minds attached to the technology. The answers to the three numbered questions presented in the substack article are not known to me, but, of course, the nature of the presentation inclines me to think that the answers are likely to explain more about the operation of human minds when they attempt to collaborate in teams connected by unfathomed autonomous technology than they explain about the technology itself.

First sentence says:

> The Internet and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Root cause analysis gets me this far: The Internet is a consequence of the human race. The human race loves consequences. We cannot resist the allure of the search for advantageous consequences, even though we have declining brain size and increasing need for wisdom. It looks to me as if the fight for the wheel will include several factions of humans, several species of AI, and a jumble of alliances, hybrids, coalitions, strategies, conspiracies, and standoffs amongst them. The future is going to be just like a trip to the movies today -- nothing but sequels.

This is perhaps only tangentially related, but I used to live next to castle ruins in the UK. Although they were ruins, the grounds still belonged to the crown. There was a thriving rabbit population there, and it was forbidden to hunt on royal land without permission.

So my town had a royally approved rabbit hunter --- who was also a butcher. He was the best butcher in the town.

Unrelated, but we also had a separate fruiterer, who procured fruits. I have never seen someone called a fruiterer anywhere else.

Pedantically, there is a "limited" amount of these resources right? Like "if you drill deep enough there's always more" feels incompatible with the fact that these resources are all downstream of actual geological effects.

Or is it really actually "dig deep enough and we find stuff" has almost always been true, making this distinction without a difference?

> I already asked for a proof that they are.

Whomever is making a positive claim has the burden of proof. I'm not making a positive claim, therefore I need present no proof. You are claiming LLMs are not like the human brain, therefore you must show the proof.

All I've done so far is present evidence and arguments demonstrating that your claims are not as certain as you present them to be.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but my view is that not a single country should interfere with this.

Self-determination is a critical element of sovreignity. While all the concerns and empathy for the sudanese is something I agree with, it is the responsibility and burden of all sudanese adults to self-determine their fate and the fate of their children.

Now, if some element of either side of the conflict allies itself with outside entities I have no problem with them receiving aide, whether that be military assistance ir something else.

You cannot force peace. Fighters from both sides of the conflict made a choice to abandon peace. They must want it back if it is ever to come back to them.

If any outside party decides to get involved for whatever reason, they better have a long term plan to colonize sudan.

You must understand, soldiers need to eat, sleep, get medical care, fuel and parts for their weapons and vehicles,etc... this is how lasting peace is made, when those who crave violence get their fill at the hands of those who would give up their lives to gain peace.

If you are arguing to not use Working Draft mechanisms in production environments (and you probably are), yes you have a point. Better safe than sorry, it's called a Working Draft for a reason.

But if you are arguing to not use something because Firefox (and only Firefox) does not support it, you are going to have a fun time trying to convince most webdevs to care about just 2.77% of all internet users.
> Wasn’t the military budget higher back then because of active wars?

Yes, the spending on the Apollo program is pretty close (as share of GDP) to the current military budget, not to the contemporary (1960s) military budget, which ranged from a 7.6-9.4% of GDP.

To my knowledge, soy has never been considered estrogenic because it affects levels of endogenous hormones, but because soy isoflavones directly agonize estrogen receptors.

"Isoflavones are phytoestrogens with potent estrogenic activity; genistein, daidzein and glycitein are the most active isoflavones found in soy beans. Phytoestrogens have similarity in structure with the human female hormone 17-β-estradiol, which can bind to both alpha and beta estrogen receptors, and mimic the action of estrogens on target organs"

The soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi is also used in the opening scene of Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (2013), which pairs a deep feeling of foreboding over footage of the beaches of Norfolk.

While it might appear to be an incongruous choice to open a comedy film, I note that Koyaanisqatsi, Watchmen (book and film) and Alan Partridge are all works primarily concerned with whether it is in our own nature to destroy ourselves, and whether we might deserve it.

AI experts know nothing about neuroscience so I'm not sure what you think this proves. Ask any neuroscientist if we have a precise mathematical understanding of how the brain works. You accuse others of tiresome leaps of logic, but you seemingly don't realize that there is literally no evidence supporting your claims about the brain.

I suggest rereading my detailed argument above until the following sinks in: we have no mathematical understanding of folk-psychology concepts like 'thoughts' and 'feelings', therefore I cannot claim that LLMs or any other machine learning algorithm does not contain those mathematical objects.
