Oo this is cool. What simulated elements are present/planned so far? Is there like a mini economy and things like actor preferences implemented? I checked out the devblog and although aspects like 3D rendering are interesting, I'm more interested in the simulation details and mechanics.
I don’t agree at all, I don’t see any extra DOM due to React across many apps nor any fundamental reason why it’d cause it.
Indeed baryogenesis is one example of baryon number violation, another is Hawking radiation - baryons forming stars and finally ending as massless radiation.

In both these examples conditions are completely extreme - what might be the missing factor for human attempts to directly observe it: in room temperature water.

I would rather expect it e.g. in the centers of some neutron stars - especially those thousands times brighter than possible with standard explanations, like: https://www.space.com/bizare-object-10-times-brighter-than-s...

While electric charge is ultimately conserved due to Gauss law, there is no Gauss law for baryon number.
Unix’s philosophy is more of what you’d call ‘guidelines’, and is not universally applicable — not all problems can be decomposed nicely, and IPC just gives you a badly debuggable hodgepodge of added accidental complexity. It’s good for trivial tools like ls, cat, etc, but something more complex is likely better off as a monolith.

Nobody knows what parts of society and culture create more mental illness. Some people will tell you they have the cure for the problems with our culture, but I disagree with most that proclaim to have the answer.

You don't even have the answer, you're just listing the effects and stating they are bad and that we should not have them. No shit, the problem is what to change and what the effect will be.
Nationally (for the USofA),

About 53 percent of the sheltered homeless had formal labor market earnings in the year they were observed as homeless, and the authors’ find that 40.4 percent of the unsheltered population had at least some formal employment in the year they were observed as homeless.

( any year twixt 2011 – 2018 )

This finding contrasts with stereotypes of people experiencing homelessness as too lazy to work or incapable of doing so.

Of course this is just pedantry, but if you wanted to compare different places on Earth then the difference between civil midnight and solar midnight can be a lot more than one hour. China has a single time zone, for example, so solar noon in China can be anywhere between 11:27 and 15:10 (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/china/one-time-zone.html).

It doesn't have to be work, but instead of word hobby I would use word passion. For me its various sports and activities mostly in the mountains and backpacking around the world. This keeps me sane and cca happy.

My father worked an extra year so he could buy his lifelong dream - Harley Davidson. Few years later, he is still very much into it, found new friends and community he enjoys being part of, going out on various adventures.

Hobby for me is something I like doing sometimes. Passion is something that defines at least part of me, think about it a lot in my free time, train for it etc. If you have proper passion(s), retirement means just more time for them. Like say rock climbing.

The idea of having free time to finally travel around the world in slow pace, or climb rock whenever I want sounds like paradise.

I understand what the poster is trying to suggest but it's still not normalizing the right things.

Children with "bigger brains" perform better because they've matured faster and have better executive control than their peers.

That's why you can strongly correlate childhood academic performance on birth month. The ones that do better don't have "larger" brains as adults.

If you take people with equal economic opportunities and the same social advantages, you cannot stratify that population based on brain mass and correlate it with anything meaningful.

Besides, if this was true then, say the staff at MIT would be NBA sized giants working their big brains and little persons would all have severe cognitive impairments. None of this is the case.

Even on strict IQ, which is what these people like to use, it still doesn't work. The highest IQ scorers are normal sized, normal shaped people. They aren't walking around with giant deformed skulls

The logical implications of the hypothesis simply don't exist and every study I've seen that tries to demonstrate it gets criticized as actually just showing a proxy measurement for things like nutrition, age, economic status, etc

It's also why the phenomena only appears in large population studies. Taller people, on average, grew up with more advantages and access to resources which is why they're taller. As a population, they will do better then their disadvantaged peers. Duh.
I think the mainstream take is that black or white hat hinges on responsible disclosure?

thank you for a thorough reply, but extrapolating from anecdotal hypothetical search that wasn't even tried seems pretty comical. My counter-anecdote (which I've actually tried) is that Google works for most of my searches. I have no love or affiliation with them, so without anything more than anecdotes there's is not much to pontificate about, so I'm pretty amazed these walls of text about googles demise (purely based on "feelings") pop up every time.
FIRE is about financial independence, aka freedom to work on whatever you want. It'd be nonsensical not to strive for financial independence.

I'm not FIRE but took most of the last year to work on projects that I enjoy. There's absolutely no comparison to working for oneself vs. working for a boss for a paycheck. The former has me loving life and my work, the latter will have my questioning my career choice and the system we live in.

Probably in 10 years we'll have something resembling a UBI in most major western countries, so finally everyone will have the freedom to work on what they enjoy instead of selling their soul for a paycheck.

There's not much at the moment really, the idea is that all citizens have their own state and decide what they want to do themselves.

For example, all of them have hunger state, have jobs assigned to them, a house etc.

So a single citizen will always go back where it lives everyday instead of a random house, it will try to go near its home to buy groceries. I've decided that they don't have money as I found it too hard to calibrate, but there is still "real" items like bread being exchanged.

I may be fretting over capitalism, but I think I do so with justification. I can’t say which system would be better, but I see the one destroying the planet and creating an arbitrary system of haves and have nots where two of the largest factors in whether you have a comfortable life are who your parents are and where your born - it’s a crapshoot.

> All the excess you cite is a result of this (albeit flawed) capitalist system we live with.

My original point was responding to the bemoaning that we don’t have enough resources for everyone. Well we do, they just get wasted. We’d still have those resources or at least the ability to create them under any other system.

> I suspect it’s not so much a matter of being poor, but allowing the possibility of being poor.

> If you do not have the freedom to fail, then you also have less opportunity to succeed.

Interesting hypothesis. I have a counter-hypothesis: it is not good if people can die due to poor choices. It's not good if they can get so poor they can't escape and improve their lives. It's not good if wealth is concentrated, because this leads to worse quality of life for most people. On the contrary: you have to give people an opportunity to improve if you want them to improve, and the only way to do this is to support them so they aren't destined to stay poor.

All of these observations seem to be both obvious and historically grounded. Do you have any counter-arguments beyond your initial hypothesis?

> So, what happens when social security fails and nobody had retirement income? That’s the kind of problem that small scale poverty helps avoid. Otherwise we have a communal tendency to kick the can down the road until the problem becomes insurmountable.

Then why are there so many more poor people in the US compared to the EU? Shouldn't the US need a smaller amount of poverty for their system to function well? Why does reality not seem to line up with your hypothesis?
interesting theory but a google search for etymology of hop or Hopfen is not conclusive and possible etymological threads do not lead to anything related to "jumping" or to hop / hüpfen.
Exceptional things rarely happen without some outlier conviction involved. Most things happening due to outlier convictions are just that, follies that lead nowhere. But when the stars align and there's both great ability involved and a genuine gap to fill that would have remained undiscovered workout the outlier conviction, something like SQLite happens.

Two weeks ago we were at a local lake where lots of people go to swim. There was some commotion suddenly, with lots of people shouting around. Apparently someone disappeared. Then fire trucks showed up, divers jumped in the lake, the police blocked of a part of the lake, ambulances arrived.

The next day we read in the local paper that a 26 year old man had drowned. Apparently he was a poor swimmer. They found him at the bottom of the lake, just 30m from the shore.

The only way to prevent tragedies like this is to make sure every kid learns to swim.

Without getting too much into the details of a personal experience in San Francisco (decades ago), I can say that a person can act extremely crazy and threatening, have a history of serious mental illness and it was effectively impossible to get the police to intervene until the person became violent or made threats that make coherent sense. I am not a lawyer, or an expert on mental illness, but everyone in this situation thought the person was really scary and threatening, just not in a way where they said something like "I am going to attack you". Ultimately a few days later that person did assault a stranger and got taken into medical care. But we couldn't get the police to do anything before that point.

I don't blame the police, they followed the law. But in a case like that, where a person seemed very dangerous (and ultimately was), had a history of severe mental illness, was off their meds.. it seems like you need a way to intervene before the ill person does something dangerous.
The cost of capital is part of the cost of buying.

The reason mortgage "looks" cheap, when only counting cashflow, is that they haven't considered the cost of capital.

If you add up all costs of a mortgage - including cost of capital (as well as maintenance etc) - it isn't cheaper than renting, and on average, i reckon it would be slightly more expensive, and at best it's neutral.

Back in the day human populations very absolutely tiny, supposedly being reduced to 10-30k as late as 75k years ago.

I would expect opportunities for any meaningful innovation to be very limited at such low densities. Anything “invented” would likely stay within your group and be lost in a few generations. Then it would have to be rediscovered several times until it caught on amongst a larger population.
It’s $300 USD / year for a business plan at wordpress.com. They shouldn’t have unstaffed chat an an email response time measured in days, which I’ve recently experienced.

I would say the sites I’ve dealt with are using <$50 / year of compute. The $250 extra is considered ok because it’s viewed as paying to have something backed by, and supported by, a commercial organization.

If there’s zero support, which seems to be a general trend lately, why not self host for a fraction of the cost? At least that way I’d have the access needed to fix my own problems.
Were you trying to make yoghurt without starting with yoghurt? All you need is a little bit of yoghurt and the bacteria will multiply and sour the milk. Same thing for kefir, fil milk and plant based yoghurts.

Mozzarella is made with a sort of perpetual stew at the farm or milk factory, instead of adding a bacterial culture directly to milk like most cheeses.

In the Netherlands you can find dairy farms everywhere, and some of those have a shop with some range of milk or milk products, usually what they themselves prefer the most. They know how it works, so they can replicate it and it becomes no problem.

Hard to say if positive outcomes for the average person in Australia started to decline before or after meth increased.

From my anecdotal (but significant observations), there's a coroally with people taking up hard drugs in townships where our youth have no observable pathways to a content adult life. It's my hypothesis people are giving up before they've started.

Edit: not to say other regional townships are worse or better, just haven't spent a significant enough time to observe it.
I think it's less about ability to retire early, more about realization that being forced to sell one's life and freedom to an employer is not only miserable, but completely unnecessary for society to function (eg. with a UBI society would carry on just fine, and likely accelerate automation).

The older generation didn't grow up with technology so perhaps it's not as obvious to them.

I started watching this documentary. First 5 minutes is mind-blowing, stating that they found deliberate burials in these inaccessible caves.

Thereafter, it's just speculation. "We can imagine h. naledi has fire since other early humans did". They start a small fire in the cave to show what it may have looked like. Plenty of animations of what the scientists imagine may have happened there. Speculation how most societies have some kind of religious or spiritual leader so h. naledi, perhaps, definitely had one too.

The dark spots which were definitely maybe fire were also there.

Even for popular science it felt very flakey.
