> Again, you can just not get married! Or do some kind of poly/open/whatever relationship if that's your thing. Or be asexual. Or be so undesirable that nobody wants to nestle down with you and saddle you with a family. Or just find some sort of ethical way of getting what you need from sex workers. (That last one may be tricky)

IMO any of those can be tricky. Relationships in general are, at any part of the spectrum, including a lack of them.

Poly/open/casual/whatever isn't easy unless your partner (or potential partners) also wants to be in one of those. Leaving an existing relationship for one of those probably isn't easy (unless it's meaningless), and can be anything but if one is already married with kids. Non-exclusive relationships may also need to deal with potential feelings of jealousy etc. in a different way than exclusive ones, and again, it's not down to just oneself.

One probably doesn't really choose to be asexual either, and I'd wager that trying to make such a choice is generally unhealthy. And if you actually are asexual but want an otherwise romantic relationship, finding one (where both are satisfied) is probably harder than it would be more conventionally.

Most people (or all of us?) have mutually conflicting desires and needs for their relationships. That makes relationships tricky in general. It's probably even more so for someone who's less comfortable socially or with themselves than you would seem to be.

I don't think it's always even possible, psychologically or emotionally, for everyone to solve those conflicting needs and desires in a satisfying way.

It sounds quite cynical to see marriage or long-term relationships largely as a burden, and seeing the possibilities can be an antidote for that for some people. But trying to make it out as everything being possible and choices that you can just make feels a bit like it can trivialize the difficulty of actually doing it.
Yes, I wasn't trying to say that someone at your age and position can't appreciate it, but that people learn more about themselves and what they actually value as they age and gain experience, so on average younger people will know themselves less than older people, so younger people are more likely (in my opinion) to think some things matter more to them than they actually do.

Is there any key revocation or rotation mechanism for passkeys? Like if somehow my private key leaks, can I revoke it so it can’t be used to login? Or do I have to log into every site and revoke my old key and add a new one?
"Everyone gotta have ID because what if there is voter fraud"...even if it eliminates the right to vote for some people.

how does having an ID eliminate the right to vote?

"Everyone gotta carry REAL ID because what if some people are illegal"...even if the delay in getting REAL ID causes legal people to lose their jobs.

how about fixing the delay then?

these seem non-problems to me. at least they are non-problems here.
an ID or a passport is required from the age of 16, and you can apply for it early enough. passports are issued even from birth. there should never be a situation where you don't have an ID unless you forget to renew it. and even then, if there is real urgency and you can't wait a few weeks, you can get a temporary ID. so noone is going to loose their job over this, and noone is prevented from voting.

Knuth has only so many productive years left on this planet and he wants to spend them all on TAOCP (and a few other projects). He had given up email by the 90s and he is incredibly disciplined on what he devotes his time to. If you want to get in touch, send him an actual letter. Last I checked, he reads paper mail once a quarter or so. He's also an utter perfectionist in his own work, in a way that few people ever achieve.

So he's curious enough to try ChatGPT. But then he's smart enough to walk away.

> MMT claims there are no limits.

No, it doesn’t.

The central claim of MMT with regard to fiscal policy is that the only real constraints on government spending balance are those resulting from the monetary impacts of, e.g., the net creation/destruction of money.

That is very different from “there are no limits”.
Yes I did have two treatments. After the first treatment I really liked it and I thought I had my life back. All my debilitating symptoms were gone. Weeks after the second treatment I noticed that my depression and trauma is not gone. It just made me not constantly aware of it, if that makes sense. I was not clinically dissociated as well, just dissociated from the things that caused my suffering. I didn’t think that was a healthy way of living, so I stopped getting treatments.
Luckily I found forms of treatments to actually heal after that. I’m incredibly glad I did.

Ketamine didn’t heal me, my perspective just changed, which can be valuable though.
The era is not the same. Our scribing in the margins is significantly less valuable than that of medieval scholars, because our mediums for recording, storing, archiving, and sharing information are significantly less restricted.

The levels of waste produced in the modern era are unimaginably higher than then, as well, so our responsibilities are completely different.
This is very familiar. Just last week, we had the following:

Most of our test pipeline was broken, due to a long series of weird events, in which the uninstall phase of the previous version of one of our apps, on our CI computer was stuck, and on another CI computer somehow the CI user gitconfig file was somehow corrupted and this failed another test which tested our git interface. We're not sure why all this happened. Also we have started using nugets (I don't like them but the guy who's in charge of the CI wants to use them). And something was completely broken with the permissions on the internal nuget server we use. We're still not sure what. But IT took 2 weeks to sort it out.

Our team is very small. It's only one guy who deals with the CI and he does it part time. I used to do it, and then we had another excellent new guy who took it upon itself and really built amazing and mostly stable pipelines for all our products all by himself. But he left several months ago and management didn't hire a replacement. So now our CI pipeline is sometimes broken for days without anyone noticing.

My apologies, I will attempt to clarify. Consider the example of cash with the quoted text above.

Since institutions lie with impunity, I am taking it upon myself to call out edititorializing lies like the clearly untrue text. Basically the media and fact checkers are asleep at the wheel and not holding institutions accountable.. so that responsibility now falls to the citizenry.

Or did you mean that its not an attempt to lie, it's an outright lie?

What nonsense. The right to own guns by citizens is what is being attacked.
Here is Claude+'s[1] response (note that's "Claude Plus", not just plain "Claude"). It mentioned hash code. I don't know Java, so can't comment on its accuracy.. but here it is, for what it's worth...

In Java, strings are represented by the String class. Under the hood, strings are represented by char arrays.

When a string is created in Java, it is stored in the heap memory. For example:

```java
String s = "Hello";
```

This will create a char array like this:

`['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']`

And the String s will point to this array.

The String class is immutable, meaning the char array cannot be changed once created. So when you do:

```java
s = s + " World";
```

This will actually create a new char array:

`['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']`

And s will now point to this new array. The old array will eventually be garbage collected.

Under the hood, String uses a char[] value field to store the characters. For example:

```java
public final class String {
private final char value[];
}
```

The array is marked final, meaning it cannot be changed after initialization. This is how String achieves immutability.

For small strings, the value array points to a char[s.length] array in the String object itself. For larger strings, value points to a separate char[] on the heap. This cutoff is determined by the MIN_VALUE_SIZE which is currently 15 characters.

The String class also has a hash field which caches the hash code for fast lookups in hash tables. There is also a serialVersionUID used for serialization.

Other details:

- String is backed by char, using UTF-16 encoding.
- String pool is used to reuse similar strings and save memory.
- Substring creates a new backing char array and shares it with the original string.
- String is Comparable and has compareTo(), startsWith(), endsWith(), etc methods.
- Escape sequences can be used in String literals, e.g. "\n" is newline.
- Much more! Strings have many useful methods in the Java API.

Hope this helps provide lots of technical details on the internal representation of strings in Java! Let me know if you have any other questions.

> But many of the solutions to these problems are already ruled out in the USA. And that's precisely because the US has attempted to carry on slavery by other means. If you look carefully, you can see that the American obsession with punishing the poor or the sick almost always derives from fear of a racialized underclass.

I looked extremely carefully, and observed no such thing. I think you are quite obsessed about race, which is why you are trying to make everything about it. Regular people hate being threatened by aggressive, erratic hobos, no matter what their race is. Last time a crazy vagrant threatened to "fuck me up" for daring to wait for a bus at a bus stop, he happened to be white, and this did not make me feel any more safe or tolerant.

> Thus it's impossible to make a public space welcoming, because you-know-who will benefit. It's impossible to make public health good, because you-know-who will benefit.

Europe makes public space welcoming by aggressively removing and prosecuting vagrants for panhandling, public intoxication, simple drug possession (very much enforced throughout huge swaths of Europe), and disorderly conduct. Europe is much less tolerant about hobos in general, and is on hair-trigger when they're violent. This is also one of the reasons why more regular people use public transit there, because people behaving erratically are promptly physically removed. Ordnung muss sein.

Edit: Reading further, it's clearly about the written form used:

> [I]t is unlikely that Harriot hit upon binary notation simply because he was using weights in a power-of-2 ratio, something that was a well-established practice at the time. Equally if not more important was the fact that he recorded the measurements made with these weights in a
power-of-2 ratio too. For when recording the weights of the
various part-ounce measures, Harriot used a rudimentary form of positional notation, in which for every position he put down either the full place value or 0, depending on whether or not the weight in question had been used.

My original comment:

I'm a little unclear, as the article mentions "binary numeration" several times. Am I to understand that the Harriot is the first written evidence of binary in a modern form, that is, using arabic numerals like we do today? (example we'd write four as: 100) Other commenters are noting that base 2 has been known for far longer than the last 500 years.
Where do you rank the general idea of recreation on this scale? Should we be spending 16 hours a day on improving the world? No time off ever? Should we take amphetamines and maybe get by with 4 hours of sleep instead of 8 so that each day brings 4 more hours of bettering the world to the table?
very classic response to facts. not a single comment you made has actually addressed any points stated, and you declared yourself the winner. just like you keep owning those libs on a daily basis i'm sure.

> For those who don't know India has been on the receiving end of US sanctions for a variety of reasons.

According to wikipedia[0] there‘s only ever been two sanctions against India by the US. A short lived one from 98-99 because of a nuclear ban and a much longer one from 92-2011 related to the space program/missile development.

A quick search didn‘t turn up any current US sanctions either. Were there more sanctions or are you referring to these two?

Yup. Thats another thing I've noticed. When I think of the phrase "a man never steps into the same river twice," I feel that way A LOT when it comes to reading good books. That was maybe the biggest reason I stopped highlighting in them, I want to come to it fresh.
I think we've become increasingly anti-human. Everything must be monetized and transactional including basic interactions. We argue that everything has a cost instead of growing the pie.

To be human is to be connected in our shared humanity. Instead we build walls or worse, fail by default design to build 'connections' between us and prefer to insulate and isolate ourselves in socio-economic psychological safety.
I ended up studying European Eels a lot recently and my mind was blown by how prolific they are, and how culturally and historically important they are, and yet how little we know about them. My favourite one is that we’ve known they reproduce in the Sargasso Sea since the early 20th century, due to finding larvae there, but their breeding has never been observed in the wild, and up until February THIS YEAR, an adult European Eel had never been observed to be arriving at the sea. This has now been achieved with satellite tagging https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-19248-8

Funny that you are not being asked to provide evidence for your extreme claim- everyone just upvotes because it makes them feel better about their life choices again.
Can you find a new PCP? One that may not be a good family doctor but can coordinate care.

You are probably already doing it, but I have heard that it is really important to have advocate when patient can't organize themselves. If you can, go to appointments, take notes, and ask lots of questions. Push on uncertainty until get tests and answers. Try and solve separate problems, like Ativan dependency, so can focus on the big one and she feels better. One question I had is what does the treatment for raising sodium too quickly look like and is it worth doing even if the MRI was negative.

Also, I vaguely remember reading about group of doctors that solve medical mysteries. I found an article, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/health/patients-medical-m..., but not sure one I read.

Somewhat related, a few years ago when the first spacex manned capsule was launched, I gave an audible gasp when I saw they used touch screens, rocket launch is a very vibrating environment. I bet the touch screens were unusable during liftoff. However those spacex touchscreens did have one redeeming feature I would like to see on car touch screens.

> Either way you use somebody's money to cheat your competition.

That's the principle of investment.

The difference between using money to improve productivity, or make the product more appealing to the consumer, or whatnot, and price-dumping, is that investing is supposed to generate long-term returns, which can benefit the company or consumers. Price dumping, on the other hand, doesn't generate future returns. It generates costs that the consumer will have to repay later.

In the first situation, consumers may benefit from that competition. In the second situation, they inevitably end up losing.
I think that may be a legacy of the Reagan era when the horrible inefficiency of government was roundly panned and there was a huge push to outsource everything to contractors and non-profits for the sake of “efficiency.”

I'm not going to argue that building more housing will not help the situation, but I think it would also be worth looking at some of the underlying reasons for the lack of available housing.

I would bet my bottom dollar that the proportion of residences that are not used as a primary residence is higher today than it was 30 years ago.

A few reasons that this would be the case in my opinion:

- A second home (holiday home, pied-à-terre, land-banked, etc) used to cost you money, but with capital gains as they have been for the past few decades now makes you money - so naturally more people will take advantage if they have the means to.

- Investing in housing has advantages that other types of investments don't (residential mortgage rates are lower than rates for business loans, leveraging, tax advantages, etc).

- Short term renting is now incredibly convenient and lucrative.

I think any government that is seriously interested in addressing the housing crisis should start by determining how much of the housing stock is not used as a primary residence.

Sure, build more housing, but there are some simple regulatory changes that could improve the situation with little effort in my opinion.
