Zeihan never shows "just" data. Otherwise he would show PRC has significantly more navigable rivers kms and better port capacity than US. Instead he'll talk US being blessed with more rivers, and deeper coasts for ports. When geopolitics makes US look bad, he'll cherry pick the geo, or the politics to make competitors look worse.

Per the graphs, you're falling for unsubstantiated (borderline retarded) Zeihan visualization/narrative, this time by scaling to 2000 baseline and annotating Zeihan TM wild claims. PRC debt is ~2900% of 2000 baseline, GDP (and per capita) is ~1500% of 2000 baseline. All the graph is reflecting is PRC has built 2-3x debt in 20 years during it's most explosive and condensed development phase where urbanization (and home ownership) increased from 30-65%, i.e no country has been abel to modernize this fast. EVER. For reference, 2020 PRC national debt was ~55% (+20% in 10 years) of GDP vs US was ~140% (+40% in 10 years), total aggregate debt (the #s Zeihan is meming about) PRC ~270% vs US ~800% in 2020.

I don't know what the money "printed" graph data comes from, but PRC covid stimulus/money printing so far retraint vs US 13T. There's reason global economists was hoping PRC would spam the money printing brrrt button to uplift global economy. Meanwhile PRC Q1 inflation rate was ~1%, lowest amoung major economies. Again, that's not remotely reflective of actual Argentina ponzi economy, to the point of being diametrically opposite.

Also this is USD used for reserve, it's USD PRC hoovered up from massive trade surpluses in the first place. PRC exports has increased so spectacularly in the past few years (export value grew from 2.5T in 2019 to 3.6T in 2022). PRC exports grew as much in last 4 years (~1T) as it did in decade between 2008-2018 (1.4T-2.4T). So she's holding a lot of dollars, even if she wants to hold less. Hence trying to increase rmb settlement. In the meantime globe is still shovelling money at PRC, the problem isn't getting it, it's getting rid of it.
This will give you the regrowth but the teeth will look like shark teeth. That might cause some odd looks and be careful not to bite your tongue. You’ll only be able to do that once!

Has anyone achieved it that didn't already have the overwhelming majority of their cars in LHD?
Yeah, I get that, hence the 'to me'.. but the flavour is SO distinct, and nasty.

Where coriander is concerned I on occasion get that soapy taste, but like once a decade and it weirds me out, otherwise it just tastes like it should :)

It doesn't look that bad, honestly.
Most people over the age of 30 or so can’t see the difference. We didn’t grow up with high frame rates and our brains didn’t train on them. It’s entirely possible they have no idea this is a thing.

I’ve seen some videos where different people try out gaming trials on different Hz’s and it seems like older gamers don’t get nearly as much performance improvement from high frame rates that younger players do. They’re also much less likely to be able to tell which is which in a blind trial.
Yes, I do that, but some of these new headlights are so bright it's only somewhat effective.

In some cases it's people who have installed aftermarket super-bright lights, most of which don't comply with DOT regulations in the slightest but they are still allowed to be sold "for off-road use only."

But often enough it seems to be new cars with the stock headlights from the manufacturer.
They have provided funds to rewing the A-10s to extend their lives, but the Air Force has slow rolled that and done everything they can to retire them. Just like they've done time and again throughout the lifetime of the A-10.
I might be completely off kilter here (please tell me if that's the case!), but what makes sense to me is to think about "how much entropy is left", as in "how much can entropy still increase between the current state and the highest entropy state". That flips the meaning to describe what you're talking about, and feels very intuitive to me.
Well, how does people survive in jungles?
How to transfer taxpayer money to your friends:

1. Start by having an official State/County/City forcibly takes money from taxpayer.

2. Lawyer Golf Buddy of said ^ official mentions his yacht isn't new anymore.

3. Said official hires golf buddy to do the legal stuff for some frivolous lawsuit, billing at a discount rate of $750/hour. Good frivolous lawsuits are ones that get the constituents excited yet are completely hopeless.

4. Lawyer golf buddy attempts to milk the hopeless court case as long as possible, as he gets paid no matter what happens.

5. Buy new yacht. Invite government official over after he retires.

Dunno. I identify with parts of the rant... but it is still a rant.
Once you have an intuition, you just write the parser yourself.

I'm not a fan of parser generators. I find them restrictive. It is also notable most mainstream languages do not use tools like YACC, they have "handmade" parsers and compilers.

This may seem like I'm suggesting pie-in-the-sky approach from the ground up for something that may never need such control. Could be. But I don't feel like learning YACC is easier than learning how to parse anything in general. I think YACC and so on are holding people back from truly expressing themselves with custom languages, and after all that was the whole point of them writing a language or wasn't it?
Yes, I knew about sendfile() but I wasnt't aware of any web server using that (though I know Kafka uses it).

Then I found out Apache supports it via the EnableSendfile directive. Nice.

>This directive controls whether httpd may use the sendfile support from the kernel to transmit file contents to the client. By default, when the handling of a request requires no access to the data within a file -- for example, when delivering a static file -- Apache httpd uses sendfile to deliver the file contents without ever reading the file if the OS supports it.

Oil spills, fracking and nuclear drama seem far more ruinous than shading an otherwise-inhospitable biome on track to get even hotter. Or putting up fans, or building dams.

Your point goes overlooked too often! We're destroying all ecosystems under the status quo.
Btw, CMake has the [FindThreads][1] module to automatically link with `-lpthread`/`-pthread` in a platform-agnostic way.

Even after this change in glibc, you may still need to use FindThreads to handle [HP-UX][2] (some of which still run [Itanium][3]!!!).

The article is not about anything related to Moneyball. That writeup would have been about how to hire people to help your org despite them being overlooked by everyone else. I was looking forward to that . . . then I read the article.

It's actually about management by metrics. The kind of Taylorite misapplication of story points that is standard in the industry even though it's repeatedly shown to clearly not work.
Correlation is not causation and is meaningless for extrapolations. The only thing it provides is interesting data to discover the causality through further study.

But I guess you're too far gone into narcissism to understand how dumb this has gotten.
My point on liability isn't about your personal tolerance for risk and confidence in your own work on a n=1 scale, it's about whether or not you would be comfortable doing that work for thousands of other people with the understanding that a very minor fuck up results in somebody being dead.

To be clear, I'm with you on the idea that all drugs should be legal. I don't believe in scheduling drugs to determine sentencing. I do believe in scheduling drugs according to the odds that Joe Schmoe will bungle the usage of them, in an attempt to steer people who aren't doing a an appropriate amount of research toward largely physiologically safe/well understood options.
I cannot say in the US, but AFAIK in Europe you need to change headlights (or modify them) to have a license plate (for an imported car), i.e. while having the steering wheel on the "wrong" side is allowed, headlights need to be conforming to the local standard or it won't pass the inspection.

Some recent cars have easy ways to modify the beams, but most need some specialized intervention or, in the worst cases, even replacement.
IIRC European cars are required to handle this gracefully.

Some newer cars (at least 2016-ish onwards, potentially before this) adjust automatically based on GPS location from the navigation system.
One of the key contributions of addressograph technology in its early days was to reduce credit card fraud.

Card owners would deny that they dined—-whereas merchants notoriously would add charges to cards even if patrons never visited their stores.

There are lots of layers and history in this part of fintech fraud cycle.

Comes the addressograph POS imprinter where it would take a “copy” of your card numbers and have you sign it!

Aside, credit card history and evolution using is just amazing.
I tried using the new OpenAI function call API for "code editing", and ran some benchmarks.
Surprisingly, function calls seem to work worse than simple plain text approaches based on markdown code blocks.
I figured others working on AI coding tools might find these learnings interesting or useful, so I wrote up some notes.
Normally we care not about entropy but changes in entropy or entropy measured in comparison to a reference distribution, so you can just take the negative of that difference.

I enjoy the taste of Diet Coke. Regular coke feels too sweet to me now. Coke Zero and Diet Pepsi is weird. I hate sugar alcohols. I dislike most foods with fake sugars. But Diet Coke for some reason is just addictive.
It’s not the same thing but you can currently buy novamin and nano hydroxyapatite based pastes which help to remineralize enamel (they do not regrown teeth completely).

On the note of dental hygiene I recommend, in addition to the standard stuff:

1. Rising your mouth with water immediately after eating. If you’re at a restaurant just drink some water, swish rigorously for 15 seconds and swallow.

2. Flossing regularly soon after eating. Couple with a water flosser if possible.
Isn't that the opposite? That is, bypassing user space, not kernel space?
A&M (later A&M Intl to sound more sophisticated) made some interesting equipment from its various divisions. Their Multigraph division long made duplicators for secretaries etc. They also introduced an office copier that sorta functioned like what Xerox came up with but minus the Xerographic process (sorta like a hybrid spirit duplicator on steroids). Like this one in this vintage ad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274448810068. A&M's Varityper division produced some really innovative cold-type products and they were probably 3rd among the big names of the day CompuGraphic, Linotype (LinoTronic) with their Comp/Edit series of electro-mechanical typesetting gear. There was also AM Jacquard division which sold a word processing/editing setup that was seen to complement their typesetting division. I never saw one of those in person, primarily I was trained on the Varityper CompEdit and later digital version. Desktop publishing ended its existence as management didn't know how to integrate those systems into desktop publishing. Typesetting used to be an independent task, one would enter the text into a composition system where it could be edited and manipulated for page, letter, word, and character spacing depending upon the medium of output. DP combined all those functions and allowed you to WYSIWYG it before even printing it out. Linotype survived a little while longer with their system the Linotronic because they knew that essentially if they made a "printer" aka the imagesetter that outputs the films necessary for plate making they could eke out an existence (they're now owned by their longtime rival Monotype!).

I can still see in my head how to compose a line in the CompEdit, perhaps it was like a pseudo comp language in that you could specify line length, drop-cap, leading, tracking, kerning, etc all via commands. I guess the equivalent of WordPerfect's codes but with maximum strength.

That, and please 'fix struct packing'. For a moment I considered, 'oh just pass a struct around as the logical tuple of this data instead' and then I remembered they don't have to conform to any particular signature.

extern void foo(size_t dim, char a[dim]);
struct vecStr {size_t dim; char a[dim];};
// Not guaranteed ABI compatibility with above
extern void foo(struct vecStr);

It would be really nice if, formally, structs mostly happened to work as expected (if ordered reasonably, behave as packed/smallest) and if there were language, not just some compiler, supported prefix attributes that enforced either packed (smallest), fastest, or if some other methods are needed later those. Possibly manually specifying a target alignment.

Also at this point far too much code depends on signed integers as the default, but it would be nice if for added clarity stdint.h and similar had complimentary sintX_t equivalents to uintX_t even though sint8_t would just be a syntax alias for int8_t (preferably the reverse).
Your positioning could be tightened. Revise your tagline to state your product differentiation. Why shouldn't I use an established product like Notion, Coda, or Obsidian? Don't make users think. If they have to, they'll go with the status quo, not you. I also picked up the lawyer vibe and I think you should lean right into it. You could say Script: the text editor for lawyers, then explain how your UX support lawyers. Don't worry that the market is smaller. It is plenty big, you can expand it, and you can't beat the incumbents at the beginning anyway. Pick a battle you can win.

Finally, I think you need to better explain how your product supports DEI, which is mentioned in the second half of the page. You should probably just remove that section; it muddies the message.
The reverse works for many other people. NEVER prescribe a "one-size-fits-all" policy or perspective for psychological methodologies.
Very surprising indeed, the endgame must be to eventually replace driver and passengers with the upcoming Tesla Bot.

Remote controlled through VR they would allow the user to live vicariously without risk of injury when doing things outside of the comfort zone.

But if you want another data point about how other people feel about it... me and my relatives can't stand the taste of Coca Cola with sugar/syrup in it. Coke Zero tastes much better. It's aspartame.

Well, that’s one way for a BDFL to instantly kill a language’s chances of widespread industrial adoption.

FWIW, the reasons for a foundation have absolutely nothing to do with what the main development branch is called… they have everything to do with what happens when your BFDL hits himself with a bus.

Not my area of expertise, but in the video at least, they indicate that black holes have very high entropy. So if we imagine gravity eventually pulling all those planetary systems together into some number of black holes, isn't gravity indeed pulling the system towards a high entropy state?

The video actually directly addresses the gas cloud question, saying basically that a gas cloud is actually a highly improbable distribution of matter, whereas the eventual planetary system is much more probable. The claim being, that trend towards expected state is entropy increasing.
> for people who lack a full set of adult teeth due to congenital factors (anodontia)

I've got this, and 1% of people have this. I'd have to imagine that most of them would have obliterated the spot where they could grow these hypothetical new teeth by getting implants, though. So, I'd even think that it's really a treatment for children.

When I was a small child, it was already absolutely certain that I wasn't ever going to get my lateral incisors.
In theory, a new first-class slice type could only provide a “checked” interface, meaning that accesses through it would only succeed if in bounds.

In practice, C doesn’t have great idioms for error handling, and so a proposal here would also probably need to explain how the slice type would either reuse existing idioms or introduce a new idiom (like Rust’s use of sum types). That makes the scope much larger, which in turn might explain any hesitancy from the C WGs to accept something like this (although I’m not actually aware of any).
They certainly do know how to make right-hand drive cars. They have just decided it is no longer worth the effort for them to produce versions for the model S and X. Maybe because those models don’t sell in China? Presumably they do still sell right-hand drive model 3 and Y in the UK.

I wonder how teeth regrowth would work? Our adult teeth don't "push out" like it seems, but our body "grows out and around" the adult teeth formed from early age (maybe even birth? I'm no expert). You can look up pictures of baby skulls where the adult teeth are visible deep in the bone; a baby's adult teeth are formed already, and located in the bone around the lower nose area, some almost on the side of the nose; the baby will grow into them.

I am glad they did this work, but I don't think it gets at what's behind the joke about British teeth.

For me, the exemplar is the Austin Powers jokes about his teeth. It's not that the average Brit has fewer teeth than the average American. It's that a person who American would expect, for reasons of class and style, to have an engineered smile (very white, very even teeth) instead had a perfectly natural one. Even the movie suggested that the stereotype was somewhat outdated. But to the extent we still have the stereotype, it's about upper- and upper-middle-class use of orthodontia and whitening. Plus the distinctive American emphasis on the big smile, which to a lot of non-Americans can seem mildly deranged.
Have you seen your enamel improve using those? I've used a Sensodyne one for a year with zero results and switched back. My dentist seemed unsurprised by those results, so the effect is probably miniscule in general if there's any at all.
I thought about this sort of thing as a reddit replacement. Browser extension that creates a forum on any arbitrary page. Backend is just nntp so pick your own server.

Can't work on it because of corporate ip ownership and all that nonsense. It's a pretty trivial idea though, pretty much anyone could implement it if you don't bother writing a bespoke news client.
> I would rather third world countries be exploited by the US, since it would mean my country projects its power to those regions.

I'm sure Chinese citizen could have said exactly the same.

> My stable, democratic country.

And follow it by his own set of nice sounding (to him) words. Everybody is a good person with good intentions in their own judgement.

Besides, US is not really a democratic country. You don't get a democracy if you just split one party system into two halves that play cooperative hot potato game with who's the current face of the power. What laws US lives by are dictated solely by the wealthy and both halves serve them equally efficiently at the tremendous cost to society and environment. China does pretty much the same only it didn't come up yet with the idea of having mock fights every few years to improve the stability of power.

> China is about to collapse because it’s in a demographic tailspin. What happens to these initiatives — and those countries that depend on them - is a huge open question and risk.

When a lender collapses it's usually very good news for the debtor.

> Why does it matter?

Why does what matter, morality??

> We are talking about the fact that ethicists are dangerous because they use non-local moral frameworks

Dangerous? This discussion sounds a lot like the trial of Socrates. Would you put ethicists to death for "corrupting the youth"?

> Why doesn't matter if local morality of any given society is moral or immoral when judged in a framework of some other culture?

This sounds like anything-goes relativism. I've been trying to avoid invoking Godwin's law...

Anyway, societies change. They evolve. You apparently only want pollsters, but pollsters only reflect current opinion. Is it wrong for moral views to change?
