The problem is that high-energy regimes can crowd out low-energy designs that actually produce better outcomes in terms of well-being.

As with food calories: either for an individual or a population group, if you don't have enough, more is very, very much better.

This is not the same as more being always better. Sometimes the same or less in a smarter implementation produces better outcomes, and sometimes it takes a regulatory shove to get there.

Societies that require everyone to have a car just to have a basic acceptable level of mobility and participation, and which expect even moderately high performers to fly multiple times a year, case in point. Huge amounts of energy deployed for marginally better outcomes.

The mistake is in observing a strong positive correlation on part of the curve, and extrapolating that to interpret it as a linear relationship.

There are parts of the world which still need a lot more deployable energy. Getting household white goods to the majorities in poorer countries, etc. The same additional amount in the hands of the top 80% or so of Western hands would be frittered away to no noticeable benefit - we could get by with a lot less.
Htmx really reminds me of CICS: load the UI, do stuff, only update the narrow part of the screen that needs to be updated -- all without writing hundreds of lines of JavaScript.
That's generally how things must work. If a bunch of companies are polluting a river with industrial waste because if they don't, they won't remain competitive and profitable with the other companies that do, the solution is to regulate that no, you can't dump your industrial waste in the river. Is that "authoritarian"?
Only 8% of people have used them in the last year. The portion of the population that have ever used psychedelics is necessarily greater than that, and given the fact that psychedelics aren't nearly as habit forming as other drugs, that number could be substantially higher.

I can't find up-to-date lifetime use rate information for psychedelics, but as of 2013 ~10% of the population had used psychedelics in their lifetime, and that was when the last-year usage was less than 4%.
Yes they can be used to make a multistage electromagnetic pulse device but room temperature superconductors wouldn't really make it that much easier. Definitely not easy enough for a non-state actor to make one.

The amount of current generated during the first stage of an EMP detonation is so high it ablates the coil away, which wouldn't happen with superconducting wires. However, it wouldn't protect it against the explosive used to generate the magnetic field, which is the biggest challenge.
With the regular magnets, you'd have to hold them in places, since otherwise they'd rotate in place and fall back down, attracted to each other.

Well, I can relate as I just got an email that Shopify changed their partner TOS today because of me.

They had demanded that I add a negative keyword "Shopify" to all of my Google ads.

I declined, because - it wasn't in our partnership agreement and I in fact DID want clients who used Shopify to find my business. (I am in the e-commerce space selling a product that works for many marketplaces including Shopify).

Just got an email today about a partnership TOS change. Now I need to put a negative keyword in any Google ad campaign they deem it necessary, despite like I said, Shopify users being great product fits for me.

I am just a little dude. What power do I have? Not really anything, the biggies get to tell me what to do. I either follow the rules of the game or get banned from the platform. Rather frustrating to say the least.
I'd say it's more like driving vs assisted driving with shouting inputs (e.g. TURN LEFT! WATCH FOR THE PEDESTRIAN! CRUISE AT 70 MPH! SLOW DOWN THERE'S ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT! USE THE SECOND RAMP TO EXIT!). The only benefit is that you don't have to hold the wheel any more, the negative being that it still only works like 90% of the time, and you end up with laryngitis.
You're even understating the case for this particular issue. I own a Shopify store, and one thing that I found out early on is that Shopify does not want you to mess with checkout. It is far and away the most limited piece of their application in terms of customization, and their help articles made it clear that it could not be changed. This app is built on top of a platform and doing something that the platform did not intend for you to be able to do.

I don't begrudge OP making some money on this product, but I'm definitely not sympathetic to this outcome.
Youtube transcripts. It only works with single-person channels at the moment, as I haven't worked on disambiguating multiple speakers. They are very messy if they are just an auto transcription from Google. Practically unusable in most cases.

So first step in the pipeline is cleaning up the transcripts for incorrectly transcribed words or sentences. Using the context of the rest of the transcript, it is able to fix the vast majority of them.
Then we add punctuation and format it with paragraphs.
Then I have another check over the whole transcript for any remaining issues.

After all of that, I have a relatively clean transcript that represents the original audio very closely. From there, I am doing things like:
1. creating question/answer pairs from the transcript
2. creating a document of additional context that fills in details about what the speaker is talking about but may not have explicitly said
3. creating a summary of the transcript identifying the main purpose
4. creating a knowledge graph from the transcript with nodes and edges
5. creating an annotated version of the transcript using that knowledge graph

I plan on putting some of this data into a vector database, and some of it will be used for fine tuning LLaMA2 models on specific tasks (like knowledge graph creation, annotation using a knowledge graph, and writing using a knowledge graph to keep track of events)

I've been thinking about how relief from the impacts of climate change will not be available for all. I was wondering if access to climate relief should be limited for people who denied climate change or supported climate change deniers. With past voting records, social media posts, etc, we should be able to figure that out for a large number of people. I think this would be very unpopular but if relief is limited how else do you decide? The only reason I became politically active 20 years ago was because of my concern about climate change and recognizing we needed leaders in place that would take appropriate action. That didn't happen in large part because of the types of people I debated against. Maybe those people shouldn't have the same access to relief as things get worse.
It's funny, when Brave the organization's politics are pretty narrow and what you'd want out of a browser: Privacy and user control.

Meanwhile Mozilla the organization boots people for politics, wants "more than deplatforming" and uses as one of their examples organizations deciding what I should see on the Internet - preferring outlets that Mozilla themselves like, naturally. They publish stuff with the gist of "did you encounter other politics on YouTube, how scary".

Meanwhile the organization spends money on getting a sneaker designer to make time-limited color themes for their browser and writes a pile of copy about how cool it is that a sneaker designer painted the browser blue.

https://imgur.com/a/ZmUzr0q

Meanwhile, Brave releases a user-customizable filtering function for their search engine so you, not someone else, can decide from what POV you see the Internet and added native vertical tabs to the browser.

One organization is blatantly political, the other just makes a good browser.

But if you want people you like to decide what I see (at least easily) on the 'net, that's good, I guess.

A lot of bootstrappers start of this way. Hell even I started out this way.

But the golden rule is, you need to move away while the sun is shining. Reinvest profits elsewhere and start a business which doesn't depend on anybody else.

You might consider me alt right, I sure wouldn’t but regardless, this has absolutely not been my experience. I’ve heard many of the alt podcasts and YouTube and movies, heck I’ve even gone on infowars...

I definitely have never had anything even remotely close to your examples. Very bold claims but also very incorrect.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Mathematical models with curated inputs & ever changing factors are not extraordinary evidence.
If this confirms, I really hope that the current limitation can be overcome. That would be brutal to actually find a ambient temperature and pressure SC only to have its usefulness for big real world applications be nerfed.

Unfortunately, the police have seized on this stereotype to try to discredit all auditors, most of whom are not looking to provoke police or anyone else, but are merely trying to assert their First Amendment rights.

In the NYPD raw footage, you can see an officer tell Mr. Reyes, post-arrest, "You wanted this." And Reyes responds, "I wanted my freedom to be taken away from me?" It's preposterous on its face. And if merely asserting a constitutionally protected right is synonymous with baiting or provoking law enforcement, what crazy world do we live in?

In other videos on his channel, it has become routine for police officers to pull public employees aside and say, "Look, he's just doing it for the views or to start a lawsuit." Essentially, they imply that he's trying to exploit some loophole of the law for personal gain.

In reality, though, like any other journalist, he's entitled to a source of income from the content he produces, and that doesn't mean he's doing anything dirty or sensational. And he's certainly not exploiting a loophole of the law. The right to do what he's doing is enshrined in the Constitution.

I don’t think it needs to be some Michael Bay crash to be significant. Let’s say that all these crashes are minor, as you state. If repairs ranged from $500 to $1,500 evenly, that is about $188 million in property damage a year. That’s not nothing. I agree that systems need to be better designed with infosec in mind.
The problem with that type of conversational exaggeration is that it leaves no more room to describe actual genocidal people and groups. How would you describe those, then? "'A person who really actually literally doesn't want me to exist'?"

I dislike Eich for the exact same reasons. But I would say something more like "I don't hate Brave, just can't use a product by someone that thinks people should be deprived of fundamental human rights just because of their sexuality or gender identity."
in my case, it would not only enforce the law, it would obey the law, be culpable for breaking the law, and would actively route out criminals, and gangs that manage to enlist.

I have a two-letter github username and I wasn't even an early adopter. I only bothered creating an account when it was clear that Github was more than a fad and a few of the projects I contributed to moved there. I tried just my initials and it worked.

Having a two-letter username is less exciting than simply a common word or name, though. Once in a while I get mentioned by accident in issues, or added to some organization. Twice I have had someone beg me to give it to them under the rationalization that it was "really cool" and I wasn't really "doing anything" with it...

EDIT: I just looked up my ID and apparently none of the first half-million people to sign up for a github account tried to brute-force the small-username space.

EDIT2: There are a few single-letter usernames with IDs in the millions, so I wonder if those are somehow "kept in reserve" by github admins and given out to friends or what's the story there.

Why did you cite an article discussing black migration from 1965 through 2000 as proof that race relations are better in the South in 2023? (And on that note, the U.S. census data shows that California's black population in 2022 is larger than it was in 2000.)

Also, the second link you does not state that "champions of diversity" are moving to less diverse places...it in fact states that positions on diversity play little to no role in where people actually live (though it does strongly inform where people prefer to live), and the general finding is that people of all races generally prefer to live with people of the same race except that Trump-supporting minorities prefer to live in White neighborhoods.

But if you ask me in general, focusing our attentions on our differences and pitting people against each other on racial boundaries isn't the way to make progress on the issue

Bush had his faults, but race relations wasn't one of them. OTOH, inflaming racial tension was the centerpiece of Trump's campaign. Just a week ago Trump lauded a singer for a video glorifying vigilantism in front of a courthouse where falsely-accused black men were lynched by vigilante mobs.

If the universe is cyclical, like has been proposed as a possible theory, then "before the Big Bang" is a perfectly reasonable phrase. Sir Roger Penrose has helped bring attention to the idea, and more recently suggested it may be incorect. It's been around for a while (proposed in the 70's maybe, I think?).

I'm disappointed by the ease at which people seem to dismiss the phrase as unreasonable. Is it being overly critical without actually knowing enough detail in the field?

None of this is any sort of explanation for "destabilizing society".

Even if nuclear fusion was perfected today it would take decades to build out and infrastructure would still be a big cost. That would take care of only electricity, not overall transportation.
If I didn't care about discoverability, I could reasonably reduce that to:

* Lock button. Hold it down to get a honk.

* Unlock button. Hold it to get the car started; if the interior temperature of the cabin is outside a set range, warm or cool it appropriately.

Make one button big and round and smooth and bright, and the other one big and square and textured and dark.
600k per month in a country where the average salary is reportedly about $8k per year (Georgia) isn't terrible, especially for such a small team. Getting in about 75 local yearly wages of recurring revenue per month is definitely worth the risk!

> Which... makes sense? Nothing worse than a colleague going for lunch and not setting afk/dnd, so a constant "bleep" notification sound.

Makes absolutely zero sense. You set yourself away, or the system sets you as away and messages come in silently. In its current state, you get ZERO messages, even if your screen is open to the Teams chat where the messages are coming in. Moving your mouse after any period when you're away makes your computer look like a VCR fast forwarding through a movie. That's stupid. AND it was added within the last 6-9 months. To save bandwidth? Probably to monitor workers.

> Common problem for Electron apps, an issue it shares with Slack, or most modern web apps in general (if I were to guess, I'd blame ReactJS for that trend with all its encapsulation)... both keep zero local state it seems and request the actual content from scratch every time you change the current view or its scope. Damn annoying.

Slack, discord, matrix clients (I use element and neochat) are a dream in comparison. I realize I'm probably in the minority but I feel those milliseconds hard and it's a tough pill to swallow when one of the most responsive electron based apps happens to be made by the same corporation...If I could use Teams chat in vscode lol...of course I'm being facetious but god damn Microsoft could use some cross-pollination right now.
