>Indeed, for the social aspect, everyone is already fully aware it's not needed, and that they can have fun socializations without it, because of their childhoods.

Sure... you can also learn everything a Stanford class teaches online. You can find alternatives for the networking aspects, etc. Still... universities tend to be how people do this. You can bodybuild without a gym. Indomitable willpower & a DIY ethic are admirable, but "hacks" are still the way 90% of people get the job done.

I think you are downplaying how hard it is to be social, in various contexts. Alcohol can be used to dull pain. This definitely does occur frequently, especially once substance abuse is the pattern.

This does not negate the earlier comment about lubricating social interactions. That's generally the starting point for alcohol use. Flirting in high school. Being socially adventurous in college. Getting intimate with coworkers.

Substance mediated mind alteration is not new. It's not just escapism or "opium for the masses." There are many real reasons people use mind altering substances. Escapism & "opium for the masses," is, however, usually the mode when/once we're talking about addiction.

If you look at why alcoholics drink, and why high schoolers drink.... the reasons are just different.

I don't know. I haven't used hooks much, but while you might consider it pure-functional in a way within a component that uses (a single) hook, I think using multiple hooks and having everything integrated is certainly not pure-functional.

It's easy to test right? Can you replace calls/expressions with their result-value? If no, it's not pure-functional.

At the time it was neccesary otherwise British involvement in slavery would not have ended.

What would have made it much better was additional compensation to those enslaved.

What was a good outcome for society, other than the obvious end of slavery of course, was the relatively vast amount of money freed up to reinvest in other massive capital projects, rail, canals, free colonies (no prisoner labour | slaves) for agriculture, wool, timber, etc.

What was a poor outcome for broader society was that ownership of and direct benefits from all these new projects were largely concentrated in a small group of former slaveholders.

Such is the ebb and flow of reality which rarely examples purely black and white expressions of some particular notion of absolute right.

I don't think that is in any way a realistic example.

But let's turn it around: consider a codebase where every type is aliases for every use. Any function that returns an int has it packed in its own type, and if you want to use that type somewhere else, you have to add a new method to turn it into that other type.

Every function returns multiple values, but in slightly different containers. Each container is unpacked slightly differently, has a slightly different memory layout.

Why would the above be easier than a codebase that always uses int and returns tuples?

I mean, waiting for someone to pump my gas in Oregon is ridiculous. I'm already subsidizing the guy's paycheck, and it's a complete waste of my time to wait for him to handle six other people. I'm not inclined to tip. The reason I tipped the kid at the 76 in Wilsonville was because he was the first human being I saw in recent memory who gave a shit about his job. It doesn't take much, but it's vanishingly rare. I think that's what tipping was supposed to be for originally.
Groups have responsibility.

Consider the opposing argument - groups have no responsibility for anything.

Does that seem like a reasonable position?

Consider an expansion of the argument - are there still situations in which one group consistently discriminates against and abuses another?

Can't get it work yet. LIGO took decades to get to work. Progress is being made though.
But (and this is my electronics engineer mind still trying to wrap my head around this) - when you pressurize a vessel made from composites, the tensile strength helps keep it all together, which is trivially intuitive.

When the same vessel sees an exterior pressure, wouldn't basically the full force have to be borne by the epoxy, making, say, knitting yarn as effective a material for holding the thing together as carbon fiber?

(I assume there's some flaw in the above reasoning...)

As for the observed absolutism, I mostly agree - my one nitpick would be that from what I've seen, it is a much more challenging material to monitor, the vessels tend to fail catastrophically rather than gracefully, and, well, let's just say that there were a couple of seemingly bold design choices being made by the OceanGate team, choices which weren't validated through sufficient testing afterwards.

That would be my main criticism, based solely on news reports: That OceanGate appeared to think 'move fast and break things' was an appropriate design philosophy when the stakes were people's lives.

A simple (as such things go...) action like doing numerous unmanned test cycles on a Titan sub to rated depth would have shown what challenges were still unsolved. Instead they basically did the test cycles on manned dives. That was, uh, bolder still.

And this particular metric is not a percentage increase in comfort or speed of operations, on the modern phones it can be above/below usability threshold. For example I have a droid phone with a width of 74 mm. But I can't reach with my thumb to the opposite side of the screen, and seems that making phone narrower by 5-6 mm would just about solve this. Thankfully droid OS doesn't require me to do this, but on the other hand I read that in iOS this is a key, most important gesture - "back". And UI button for this operation is in the most unreachable spot on iOS, in the top left corner usually. So users practically forced to do a gesture which is hard to do on a bigger phone.
Up until 1945, Asian Americans were held in concentration camps after being stripped of all their property. Affirmative action made sense in 1971. Things change. Now it’s just discriminating against another group that’s historically been the victim of white supremacy. A crabs in a bucket situation.

And how do we make any sense of these racist laws when there’s more and more mixed race kids applying to college anyway? Our first “black” President is half white. Our first “black” Vice President is half-Asian. If this chicanery went on for a couple more generations, every kid’s gonna be like Liz Warren, looking for any trace of victim in their DNA…

Race is a social construct. These remnants of apartheid are completely illogical. The rules are made up and don’t matter. There is only one objective race: the human race. It’s about time we started deconstructing it if you ask me.

Sinophobia is getting extremely out of hand at the moment. We need to condemn systemic racism against Asian people and reject the model minority myth, before we repeat some of the ugliest chapters of US history… both parties are way too eager for war in Greater China.

> legal, educated, and controlled access to drugs reduces the burden on society.

I think it does make sense from an anti-drugs point of view. Imagine a parent whose child wants to take football as a sport. You have three choices:

1. "Sure, whatever, have fun". Cheap in the short run, but expensive in the long run due to medical bills and likelihood of traumatic head injury.

2. "Okay, but only with protective equipment". Cheaper in the long run, but still requires an investment in protective measures.

3. "No, too dangerous. Do something else". Even cheaper, no investment required.

Of course this is a simplification, but I think it illustrates the point: that society would rather have no drugs at all than investing in safe and controlled access.
> The real reason is because they want equity - equal outcome for all. That means penalizing the overachievers and redistributing the outcomes they deserve to the underachievers.

I think you should assume most people act in good faith and are just trying to be nice to people they care about, but because human systems are, like humans themselves, complex and flawed, this can create more harm than good.

There has, as far as I can tell never been a "them". Furthermore, assuming such a "them" exists tends to lead to all sorts of bad behavior.

Related talk at the Long Now: "Drinking for 10,000 Years: Intoxication and Civilization" [1]

Edward Slingerland’s latest research is a deep dive into the alcohol-soaked origins of civilization — and the evolutionary roots of humanity’s appetite for intoxication. “Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization” elegantly cuts through the tangle of urban legends that surround our notions of intoxication to provide a rigorous, scientifically-grounded explanation for our love of alcohol. Drawing on evidence from archaeology, history, cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology, social psychology, literature, and genetics, Slingerland shows that our taste for chemical intoxicants is not an evolutionary mistake, as we are so often told. In fact, intoxication helps solve a number of distinctively human challenges: enhancing creativity, alleviating stress, building trust, and pulling off the miracle of getting fiercely tribal primates to cooperate with strangers.

First time I have been there was in 2005, last in 2019, and in my opinion it has steadily declined over the years. These huge otaku and tourist stores are boring. And if you have set your hopes too high, then yes, you will be disappointed, but you didn't so you may not be.

All is not lost however. The "electric town" market is still there (or at least it was in 2019). Smaller than it once was, but you are still going to see a mess of electronic components, radios, etc... You will also find small computer hardware shops, including those selling keyboards, which is great since keyboards are something worth trying before you buy.

"Creepy" Akihabara (the 18+ stuff) is also worth seeing, just for the WTF aspect (or more, I won't judge). Go to the upper or underground floors for maximum effect. They usually don't show you this in mainstream video games, for obvious reasons. Maid cafes however are probably exactly like they they are depicted in video games and anime, and personally, I don't find them that exciting, not even that creepy.

Another thing that is lesser known is that there is a nice little shrine right next to the Akibahara we are all familiar with.

I'm still not convinced by this argument. All human-generated art is also a result of the artist's experiences, and is strongly influenced by other art they have consumed. So why should GenAI not be allowed to blend the work of other artists?

If you want to argue that we should fundamentally treat machine- and human-generated works differently, that's fine -- but it's a different argument from "looking at a bunch of art and then synthesising ideas is bad," because that's exactly what many (most?) human artists do.
You don't think like that when drunk, in fact very opposite of it. Those few hours are enough for some desperate enough to go for it repeatedly, with real risks of fucking up their lives permanently. Same for all other addictive drugs.

People are not rational, that's just a very thin layer on top of emotions dictating most of our lives. Some almost don't have them, some are more rational (me too). But its important to recognize these aspects of us, and be at peace with them, easier to work with them like that.
> AI can make education almost zero cost in the future.

This is still an open question. LLMs will certainly help to improve teaching. But education is more than teaching. And LLMs have at best a mediocre track record of being correct. So if you are lucky you are taught something correct by an LLM.

Going to university to meet other people with which you can learn together by helping, criticizing, or correcting each other is extremely valuable. That cannot be replicated by an LLM at home. Even the experience of just moving to another city, leaving home is a part of education.

Education will always cost time and hard work. Because oneself has to change to become educated.

> unless we have a new C++ front made in zig

Writing a C++ compiler is several order of magnitude more complicated than writing a C, Java, Go or Zig compiler. There's a very good reason there are only 3 in existence despite how ubiquitous C++ is (and even then, it takes years for them to keep up with the latest standards). C++'s grammar is type 0, there's isn't even an EBNF definition of it because it's pratically impossible to write a complete one. Clang only succeeded thanks to massive investments from the biggest players in the industry, and GCC/MSVC simply grew alongside the language. All other C++ compilers died a horrible death a long time ago.
Yes, and that's cheap compared to loss of life. You may even want to destroy several of them to get a better statistical base. Essentially they are a consumable in this design.
Fortunately for you those of us in power, telecomunications, healthcare etc don't have that luxury.

If I learn something new in the morning, very often I still remember it in the afternoon, even though I haven't been to sleep yet.

Neuroscientists/psychologists/etc believe [0] humans have four tiers of memory: sensory memory (stores what you are experiencing right now, lasts for less than a second); working memory (lasts up to 30 seconds); intermediate-term memory (lasts 2-3 hours); long-term memory (anything from 30 minutes ago until the end of your life).

We don't need to sleep to form new long-term memories – if at dinner time you can still remember what you ate for breakfast (I usually can if I think about it), that's your long-term memory at work. What we need sleep for, is pruning our long-term memory – each night the brain basically runs a compression process, deciding which long-term memories to keep and which to throw away (forget), and how much detail to keep for each memory.

Regarding your juggling example – most neuroscientists believe that the brain stores different types of memories differently. How to perform a task is a procedural memory, and new or improved motor skills such as juggling are a particular form of procedural memory. How the brain processes them is likely quite different from how it processes episodic memories (events of your life) or semantic memories (facts, general knowledge, etc). Sleep may play a somewhat different role for each different memory type, so what's true for learning juggling may not be true for learning facts.

No, I was replying to a person saying how Germany has expensive electricity (because Luddites, I guess opposing nuclear). It's not the case because it's an apples to oranges comparison, and I used France as a counter example for nuclear.

There's a lot of misinformation on the cost of the "Energiewende", I routinely see the same people throwing around numbers of 300 billion, 400 billion, 500 billion etc. 500 is the most common one, but it's baseless. I believe it was an estimate on what it might be in 2025 or something, but it has no relation to reality. In the end, whatever the correct amount may be, the result is not only not criminal, it is amazing. A whole new industry was kickstarted, that resulted in deployment of terawatts of renewables capacity worldwide to date. It almost singlehandedly killed deployment of new fossil fuel plants in many countries of the world and is now starting to retire existing fossil fuel plants. And it's still growing exponentially, we will realistically see 1TW per year deployment very soon. The IEA makes estimates on future deployment and it's a joke at this point because every year their updated estimates for 2030 are shattered. I cannot imagine a more successful policy if your goal is to decarbonize the world.

My point about Macron is not that his policies are wrong or that he is dishonest, I actually don't have a real problem with french nuclear, old or new. The point was that he is involved at all, and that's because the EDF cannot proceed without the government, it cannot really fund them on its own (hence, their prices are not real). You say they should've built new ones 10 years ago, but that's exactly my point. If they'd done that when they should've, the price now would not be 20c per kWh today, but a lot more than that. Now the price is "low" but at the cost of the infrastructure running on fumes.

Why can't AI do the same: copyrighted code -> spec -> generated code.

... and then execute copyrighted code -> trace resulting values -> tests for new code.

AI could do clean room reimplementation of any code to beef up the training set. It can also make sure the new code is different from the old code at ngram-level, so even by chance it should not look the same.

Would that hold up in court? Is it copyright laundering?
