Unfortunately, I circulate in woke bubbles where accurate medical information is actively contradicted, rewritten, and suppressed, so it's difficult for me to come by. I read it in a book, by authors with proven credentials, a good track record, and the book is replete with accurate yet suppressed information. I seldom bother searching for more of the same while I live in this backwater, because none of the search results or websites I find will deviate from the establishment narratives.

> Outside of the visual cortex there isn't any evidence that brains work anything like GPT-4 or neural nets.

Are you sure? If you had to pick a number what would you pick?

I have never built a useful neural network myself so I can't speak confidently, but I've read enough McCullough & Pitts, Cybernetics, Minsky, et cetera, to have the knowledge that there's a direct connection between a multitude of lab experiments done in the early 1900's to quantify the behavior of neurons in various animals, and then develop the principle ideas of ANNs from those findings.

Of course, there are hundreds, if not thousands or more of "components" in the brain, and I'm not sure how many of those components we have digital analogs for. But I feel like GPT-4 makes me think we've crossed the 10% threshold.

I respect using that stuff for a while (my amp is about 12 years old but I'm upgrading this year).

Stick with what you have if it sounds good to you, but I do feel the need to point out two things:
There have been significant improvements in room correction DSP algorithms particularly in the last decade. You don't need to ditch your amp to add these, there are DSP boxes you can put in the preamp stage. These will improve sound quality considerably. Audyssey, Dirac, and Anthem ARC are common names; there are others.

And there are a huge abundance of speakers in the mid range $200-$600 that are absolutely fantastic; it's a pretty wide market segment. There's plenty of old options too, but... it's not hard to find a new set of speakers capable of great sound at a decent price these days. I don't know what exactly Speakerbits was implying, but it's not true now.
I agree with your criticism and should have called out Malaysia's multiculturalism instead of going with the (wrong) implication expressed by where I asked that question; that in Malaysia ethnicity = nationality.

FWIW, my experience of Malaysia, admittedly as very much an outsider, is that it is multiple ethnicities living together, rather than a society bound by a set of shared values so I would assume the primary lens of politics is still ethnicity. Are various ethnicities vying for dominance, or are people vying for specific ideals? When "Indian, Chinese and Bumi" look at each other do they first experience "us" or do they first experience "them?"

America is dealing with these problems and it would be charitable to say that America is a values first country, although I think America is doing better than most. My experience is that Malaysia is probably doing the best in Asia.

> There isn't typically "founding father" hero worship and the same ideological cohesion as in the United States

That touches on the fundamental idea I am trying to convey (the one I am conveying much much much more poorly than the article I linked).

Are people deifying a "founding father" or are they deifying the ideals for which they stood? Do they engage with their history (of having founding fathers and what they did) or their values (influenced by and reasoned about by their founding fathers).

> I've met many minorities in China that would be confused and maybe offended if you suggested they weren't Chinese

Are they experiencing being Chinese through sharing the Chinese history, or are they being Chinese through sharing Chinese values? Could black people go to China and share those values and experiencing being Chinese or does the fact that black people do not share Chinese history make them ineligible to be Chinese?

Airlines very much do optimize for the traveler but not for the occasional traveler. The experience is optimized for the person who travels all the time and is loyal to a specific brand.

Having top status with an airline changes everything you get greeted by name. Complimentary upgrades are showered upon you. Even if you don't get upgraded on a flight it's guaranteed that the head purser knows where you're sitting on that flight. I've been on an full international flight we're the only seat I could get was some cheap one in the back and before take off the head purser came by and introduced themselves offered me complimentary drinks asked if I needed anything and if I did to ring them at any time. Everyone around me looked at me like they had no idea what was going on.

Top tier status also usually conveys dedicated support numbers where the wait times are either non-existent or in the minutes. When airlines staff see your status their attitude changes. Sometimes the airport personnel don't seem to care like in one instance they had closed the door to the jet bridge but not to the airplane and they wouldn't let me board. A call to the 800 number resulted in a call to the person within about 45 seconds and the jet bridge door was opened up again.

Maybe this isn't the answer you're looking for but the more money you spend the better your experience is this is generally the case with anything. Because if you only fly occasionally and you're searching out the cheapest fares regardless of airlines you have no loyalty to them therefore why would they have any loyalty to you?

You can take a shortcut, because NYC is several large grids stitched together. If your isochron line doesn't cross a border between two grids its just a diamond instead of a circle. If it does cross the border between two grids, then you just have to figure out where along the border the "diamond" of one grid system meets the tilted diamond of the other. But you don't need a general purpose road network analysis tool to do it. It may even be tractable analytically.
> Europe will be stuck with a clunky CCS plug when the US has a lighter and easier to use plug

It isn't clunky. That's a bizarre claim to make and plainly not based on any practical experience with the CCS type 2 combo plug.

Europe has simply done EV infrastructure better than the US. The European EV market is bigger. The European charging networks are better, faster, and growing every month.

Feebly attempting to argue otherwise is childish. The proof is in the field and internet theorizing doesn't change that.

> In the US our 120 volt household wiring really limits appliances.

Wot, you mean like how Tesla chargers are 400 volt which limits 800+ volt EVs from charging at their maximum kilowatts? Plenty of CCS chargers already support 800 volt cars. It will take a number of years for Tesla to roll out upgrades to get all their chargers up to spec.
Kind of problematic as GM and Ford are now committing to the Tesla plug

The OP-1 is certainly a pleasure to look at. I'd love to have one too, based at least partly on looks, but thinking more pragmatically, I don't think I'd really get the price tag's worth out of it as a music instrument, given its workflow. Make sure to look at other options - there's so many these days, including software-only solutions, and you'll find plenty of videos and forum discussions about this. Personally, I really really like my dirtywave M8. (You might've also seen it on RMR's youtube).

> I wonder if the AI can simply pretend to be a human

It's possible.

In general the AI would need to know everyone on a really deep level, and of course be seriously adaptable to feedback. I don't know how well this would work across all of human personal-preference decision trees.

> I used to be amazed at multi-touch screens but now I simply don't think twice.

As a person who fidgets I have been perpetually annoyed by so many touch interfaces (and general 'gesture' shortcuts). And multi-touch is such a problem when using my work laptop (especially with lab gloves on, but in general) - Ctrl-Z is a frequent friend. Maybe adaptive AI will make it better. Google feedback forms certainly haven't helped, and software designers seem to not want users to be able to personalize these design decisions.

Firstly, the moon is pretty hostile: Radiation. No water. No oxygen.

To survive the moon and then survive the oxygen rich atmosphere, the organism would need to be built like a tank. So it's replication rate will be very very low.

Then it's also possible that some creature on earth may prey upon the new arrival and keep it in check.

Secondly: Asteroid impacts on the moon regularly send moon debris into our atmosphere and some of it even survives reentry.
> On the original topic: my circadian rhythm wants to run either 30 or 32 hours.

In my teens and early 20s I had the same. It was fine most of the time, and then I'd crash and miss a day or two. Then I started taking midday naps, whether or not I feel like I need them. Well, it started out that I'd fall asleep in 2:00 lectures, and I noticed that it was some of my best sleep. Weirdly, napping a little (5-30min) during the day helps me sleep at night. When I miss it, it can be impossible to get to sleep -- right around bedtime I suddenly go from normal to buzzy and if I try to force it I just wake up more.

Giving it away has now haunted me. Father passed away two years ago and a bunch of computing equipment he bought for me had been donated years before he had passed when it was worth very little. Now in this post covid era all of those things are 'vintage' and super expensive. I have tracked down some of the original equipment through the people I originally gave it to but it has not really been possible to get those things back. Yes I was a mild hoarder aspiring minimalist before but now I have become a full on hoarder. I desperately do extreme organizing in places like my basement to be able to contain so much of the stuff I have. I don't really know how to reconcile this fear of losing something for good.

> Christopher Hitchens was right: Kissinger was a war criminal so I tend to regard this kind of verbatim report as reflecting two criminally minded geniuses shooting the breeze together.

Perhaps, but the trade arrangements made at that meeting have essentially been policy for every Administration since. That's very interesting. What to make of that? Why have no U.S. Presidents (except, maybe, maybe in rhetoric, Trump) wanted something different? The point is that Kissinger figured out something very important, and got it done, and it's lasted half a century. Policy momentum is a fascinating thing, and how to arrange for it.

Another question I have is why Mao's intense hostility to the Soviets. Yes, Kruschev's Secret Speech was the cause of their schism, but why did all the premiers who followed Kruschev fail to right things with the Chinese? And why did Kruschev not find a way to smooth things with Mao? "Look, that Speech is not an attack on you, it's just me shoring up support in the USSR by attacking Stalin, and that works because Stalin made himself so feared, m'kay?" And why wouldn't that work, as long as the Speech stayed Secret and even if not, as long as it stayed out of the public eye in China? Well, ok, Kruschev couldn't keep it that secret, but still, the premiers that followed him could have denounced that speech and made things ok with China. But this hostility survived Mao's death, even when Deng Xiaoping essentially (but not overtly) accepted Kruschev's position against personality cults! Why? Only now, maybe, the Russians are finally repairing that schism.

Really, TFA is extremely interesting.

And yes, it's clear that to some degree Mao and Kissinger were playing roles, being flattering and saying things they probably didn't really mean.

And then there's Mao's quip about Americans not being "awakened". Who knows what he meant, but Kissinger either did or pretended. Mao might have meant something very pedestrian, or perhaps something sinister, or perhaps something very good -- it'd be good to know.

I agree with you but I don't think it's a financial thing but a psychological/maturity thing.

Yeah. The Mongols were on a summer vacation, the Persian Empire wasn't invading ancient Greece, they were just sightseeing, the Vikings (Scandinavian not central european IMO) were just doing some exuberant boating, the Hans just wanted to sojourn in the Jungles of Vietnam, the Ottomans were just misguided proseletyzers, the Rus were just bored from Winter, etc. The Japanese in WWII were just looking for some iron and oil.

If you have a large empire, chances are there was large scale conquest involved. Likely all "civilizations" involved small scale conquest of tribes.

So the academics are all in arms about Diamond writing a pretty engaging nonfiction book that accessibly integrated a half-dozen historical / political theories into an interesting integrated theory. Was it perfect? Hell no, no way it was. Is there roots of truth in it? There has to be. More than anything, reading the book was thought provoking, because all history taught in schools is basically a bunch of personalities/leaders and battles, and almost no investigation of other factors outside of the human events.

What's also bizarre is reading various modern historical analyses of the Mongol invasions as "eh, they weren't that bad". Like... what?

I'm fully willing to admit European empire building was flagrantly unacceptable from the lens of the modern conception of universal human rights. But that Euros were some especially brutal oppressors/conquerors compared to the whole of human history? Come on. I mean... the Mongols. AND they almost conquered Europe.

> Kissinger was a war criminal so I tend to regard this kind of verbatim report as reflecting two criminally minded geniuses shooting the breeze together.

Of course he was / they were. But guilt v. innocence is too crude a distinction to say anything meaningful about history. There's a lot going on that that distinction can't account for. In the end, they're all guilty, and we're all guilty, and only a childish craving to see oneself as innocent and project all badness onto others imagines otherwise.

p.s. This is not a criticism. I enjoyed your comment.
It's still a long way from a preliminary lab study result in mice to a demonstrably therapeutic treatment in humans - and much further still to an FDA approved, economically-viable, mass manufactured, widely available pharmaceutical.

>What do you do when incompetence would be unbelievable in scope and malice would be unbelievably incompetent.

Given that incompetence is more harmful than malice, you stay pessimistic, and still blame incompetence. Simply because, if you're pessimistic, the worst that can happen tells you that you were right.

A malicious but competent person will cause damage to a few, when it's desirable for him. While an incompetent but non-malicious person will cause damage to everyone, including himself, at random intervals, regardless of his own desires.
