> most people don't borrow a strong sense of identity from their jobs

Part of middle-class striver religion is that recognition for your labor is the only way to have an identity (or a "worth," both metaphorically and literally.) What you are in that worldview is exactly what the people who can pay think you are.

His point is backwards. You want to switch to hydrogen if you want to avoid future crises. Batteries just create the same situation.
I agree that population looks likely to shrink, especially across much of Europe and Asia; in reality even without that, population growth tends to look rather more like a logistic function than an exponential anyway which makes the analogy a bit silly.

I don't think this necessarily means we will see economic degrowth though. A common mistake is to equate economic growth with the use of more natural resources or a greater population. Neither of these are needed for economic growth to occur - a lot of it is really driven by finding ways to use less natural or labour resources to achieve the same end, meaning more of that end can be achieved for the same cost. I'm far from convinced we're at the plateau of human ingenuity and our ability to drive efficientcy improvements in everything we do.
Lovely app! Thanks.

Is this "All Things Devours" or a different game? I'm very interested in trying it.
The benefits from past progress do not imply all future progress will be similarly beneficial. Our culture takes it as axiomatic that more efficiency is good. But its not clear to me that it is. The principle goal of society should be the betterment of the lives of people. Yes, efficiency has historically been a driver of widespread prosperity, but it's not obvious that there isn't a local maximum past which increased efficiency harms the average person. We may already be on the other side of the critical point.

How the benefits from increased efficiency are distributed matter to how much progress benefits average people. Historically, efficiency increases from technology were driven by innovation that brought a decrease in the costs of transactions. This saw an explosion of the space of viable economic activity and with it new classes of jobs and a widespread growth in prosperity. But crucially, the need for human labor kept pace with the expansion of wealth creation. This largely avoided the creation of a new distribution problem. But this time is in fact different. The expanding impact of AI on our economy will create a serious distribution problem as wealth creation becomes more and more decoupled from human labor. It is extremely narrow-minded to ignore this problem. It is not something that will just work itself out.

Agreed. Recently we’ve seen some multi-million/billionaires called out specifically for saying horrific things about their workers striking and it’s great. When you hoard so much wealth I honestly don’t know how it could be argued you should have privacy. We should have public accounting of their goings on, they’re sometimes more influential than our presidents.

Yep!

> However mathematical interfaces are less user friendly and less intuitive, especially for someone not familiar with mathematical interfaces.

Actually I think it's less useful for people who are very familiar with the mathematical techniques as well.

Pure math also specializes things by domain. Certainly experienced mathematicians are capable of seeing the generalism underneath the specialization and are able to re-derive it, but to make progress they mostly don't do that, they build on top of the specific "interface".
This is the mostly the same kind of partnership as Tesla and Panasonic and people never stopped saying Panasonic is actually making the cells. The actual cell technology is Panasonic and the partnership is about manufacturing.

For Toyota to build up its own end to end manufacturing of battery cells is something quite different.

Its doable, as Tesla has shown, but its not easy. Specially with a new technology.
The stats come from the DOJ. The reason not to deploy regional slurs is because they beg for unproductive threads challenging and refining the claims. For instance: it is simply not the case that Chicago is meaningfully the "capital of corruption". It has more absolute public corruption cases, but does not lead relative to its population (you see similar things with the "most dangerous city" stuff).

I'm not saying you shouldn't have pointed out public corruption in Chicago. I'm just saying you should be more careful with the words you pick.

(As is probably obvious, I'm a lifelong Chicagoan).

If you're serious about eliminating traffic fatalities, outlaw seat belts and airbags, then install a 6-inch steel spike in the center of every steering wheel. The few people who still dare to drive will be far too cautious to cause an accident.

That is, of course, about as ridiculous as A Modest Proposal. Still, over the years it's caused me to repeatedly notice that no matter how hard society complains about something (e.g., traffic fatalities), we keep implicitly deciding that some lifestyles are worth sacrificing lives to preserve.

You can have the right conclusion for all the wrong reasons, or the wrong conclusion for all the right reasons. It's really the reasoning that matters more than the conclusion which, certainly in this case, seems coincidentally similar more than anything else.
There has been no evidence of this, not to mention people just get cars with even bigger batteries. It is likely to always be an expensive replacement problem.
Maybe for modern hybrids. For my 2005 Hybrid, the engine is an Atkinson cycle engine and that is where most of the efficiency gains come from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AZ_engine#2AZ-FXE “The large valve overlap leads to a reduction in cylinder charge and reduced torque and power output, but efficiency is increased. This combination makes the 2AZ-FXE suitable for use only in hybrid vehicles, where peak torque and power demands can be met by the electric motor and battery.”

So the hybrid battery is used for acceleration. Note that my Hybrid battery is a 200V 50Wh Nickel metal hydride battery - Note I think Toyota Hybrids didn’t start using Lithium batteries until late 2010’s).

When town driving it doesn’t seem to me that the regenerative braking makes much difference: It is very noticeable that the engine is in use during acceleration from a dead-stop. Certainly regeneration is insignificant on hills because the
Still, pumping water from 230 m is not that expensive energy wise compared to other approaches.

Best case scenario, pumping 1 kg of water 230 meters costs 2.3kJ.

Elsewhere in this thread it was mentioned that typical desalination approaches need 10-15kJ/kg.
Recycled water is usually considered non-potable, so while it can be reused it's usually not available for drinking water and needs separate pipes.

Could anyone share an advice or resources where to start with learning to read mathematical notations?
Yes, there is a reason: “The lack of bite marks on the dinosaur skeleton, the position of the mammal atop the dinosaur, and the grasping and biting actions of the mammal, collectively signal that the mammal was preying on the weakened dinosaur when the two were suddenly entombed by a volcanic debris flow,”
Yes, the two extremes are captured by the common metrics of "species richness" which is the pure "how many unique species are there", and "species evenness", which depends on how evenly distributed the species are. A community in which 99% of individuals are species A and the remaining 1% are from species B-G is exactly as species rich as a community in which there are equal numbers of individuals of each species, but it is much less even (and therefore, under one extreme of diversity, less diverse). In different contexts and for different ecological questions, these two different versions of diversity can matter more or less, and there are metrics which take both into account, but this is a fully generalized solution which shows you relative diversity along the entire spectrum from "all I care about is richness" to "all I care about is evenness".

-edit- by the way, since it may not be obvious to everyone, the reason why an ecologist might care bout evenness is because extremely rare species are often not very important to the wider community. From an ecological function perspective, there is very little difference between my above example of the 99%/1% community and a community that is 100% species A. So an community with two, equally populous species might have more functional diversity than a community with one very abundant species and several more, very rare species.

Legalized drug sales and prostitution among adults have _fewer_ victims but that doesn't mean no victims. Legalization is better but it isn't a panacea.

> Such as the movie "Hostel". I never understood why that is OK, why the music industry has pushed gangsta rap etc. for decades, but then something like Cuties out of France which actually critiques the hypersexualization of teenage girls that is taking place, causes an uproar, while the industries doing the hypersexualization are now an accepted part of our liberal "freedom of speech".

AFAIK, everyone involved in the production of "Hostel" was a legal adult.

The girls who were the main characters in "Cuties" were not legal adults, nor anywhere close. I don't even think they were teenagers. From the clip I saw, it wasn't a _critique_ of hypersexualization so much as LITERAL HYPERSEXUALIZATION. There may have been an ironic plot around it saying "this is bad mmm'kay" but that doesn't excuse using children to engage in sexualized behavior.

There's an important conversation to be had about US culture and violence versus sex and language (South Park parodied this well), but "Cuties" is a horrible example because it used actual children to engage in actual sexual objectification.

Siri speech recognition is consistently terrible compared to the alternatives, in my experience. Google and Microsoft have much better speech recognition technology.

Whisper is phenomenal by comparison Siri and arguably even what Google and Microsoft use, and no, there is nothing that stops Whisper from being used in real time. I can run real-time Whisper on my iPhone using the Hello Transcribe app, but the last time I tried it, the app itself was too flawed to recommend besides as a demo of real-time transcription.

I am looking forward to trying out the new transcription model that Apple is bringing to iOS 17.

> Theoretically, about 0.86 kWh of energy is needed to desalinate 1 m3 of salt water (34 500 ppm). This is equivalent to 3 kJ kg-1. The present day desalination plants use 5 to 26 times as much as this theoretical minimum depending on the type of process used.

That translates to about 3.25 watt-hours/gallon as the theoretical limit, if my math is correct.

Sank uu. Before I watch that video I want to say that people, even smart and educated ones, don't understand the exponential function. It applies to everything, including evolution, including the poor, the working class and the ways humans merge with tech and nature. Some people just consciously decide to opt out ... and many of those opt in again, once the solution are convenient enough.

Too much progress has been lost because the top kept the lower 50% below their potential.

And even though the bottom 50 % know very well who is responsible for the state of the planet, the supply chains of the top 13 %, there is no anger and no hate. Most of them will go nuts in terms of productivity, if you give them UBI. If I think of the German-[insert any eastern country], there is not a single person who will sit on their ass and do nothing. And they won't go all self-sufficient and all that jazz, absolutely not. They will join the markets and increase the margins of all the investors. It took me a long time to understand why so many people misinterpreted the potential of the working class. They are proud about what they do, they gladly help and grow anyone's wealth, as long as you give them what they need to thrive. The ROI would be super freaking hot. Don't take my word for it.

Exactly. It’s not like we’re saying people in medicine shouldn’t make good money. I’m glad doctors are paid well for example. What we don’t like is lack of price transparency and needlessly expensive medications.

This has to stop and I love that there has been progress on this recently. But we need much much more
In an ideal world you would not need to tip at all. The 30 percent premium you pay would include proper compensation for the driver and in the rare case the driver exceeded your expectations you would give them a tip post transaction.

The absurd situation we have now is companies refuse to properly compensate their workers and force patrons to compensate them illegally under the table.

Worse, it is explicitly compensation as you are almost always asked to "tip" in advance before knowing anything about the quality of the food or the timeliness of the delivery.

Same can be said for political correctness or autogynephilia or meta attraction.

They are terms used as an implication for right wing conspiracy theories but also do in part describe undeniable real behaviours and dogmas on the left.

Some leftists do think black people should be excused to violate whites, trans people should be excused to violate cis people, etc.

Nietzsche's view of Jewish morality as a vindictive passive aggressive reaction to impotence towards Roman oppression is accurate. It obviously does not describe all of the Jewish faith but it's very hard to hypothesize a different reason for "giving the other face" being their moral reaction towards violence. This critique is at the heart of the Black Panther movement (according to Huey P Newton's intentions).

Just like autogynephilia is used as a reason to deny trans people of transitioning treatment. Yes it is a true phenomenon, there are many self described autogynephiles claiming that is their sexual experience, doesn't mean trans people should be denied their autonomy for it.
