PRC agriculture has absolute food security in terms of domestic calorie production and was net fertilizer exporter via coal gasification in 2010s but turn importer after coal crack down due to green initiatives. Coal back on menu due to recent geopolitics that prioritize energy/good security
PRC can feed herself with domestic inputs worst case scenario. With surplus if she moves to mechanical farming - current 200m farm household basically make job programs with lots of farmers pursuing cash crop instead of efficient calories.

Finally discussion on import dependency is really dog whistle for what happens if US tries to cut off PRC SLOCs in which case it's really a discussion on resource security not autarky. And reality is US is as vulnerable as PRC now - we are in era of advanced rocketry where 150 blown up refineries sets US energy and agriculture into stone age, highly automated ag especially vulnerable. In a peer war where homeland critical infra is being degraded, US can feed population as much as PRC, which is to say not at all. All that shale and blessed farm land means nothing if you can't process what you extract. Blocking shipping is just down the logistics chain than hitting production facilities themselves. The entire fortress america narrative collapsed once US adversaries like PRC gained global strike and now US is vulnerable like everyone else.

These are all effective modalities in the right contexts. If you don't adopt a materialist metaphysics, it's easier to understand them, but it takes some time, effort and faith to gain access to the insight necessary to do that. Reiki is particularly easy to understand if you have a meditation practice—it's basically guided Vipassana from that perspective.

Another version that doesn't require endorsing esoteric practices is just acknowledging the effects of confession and things like faith healing, the "born again" phenomenon, etc. Here you see people reaching sustained ecstatic states through entirely mainstream Western practices.

Regardless, research does seem to show that methodology contributes very little to the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention. This is basically true in my experience. The most effective therapists have cultivated a certain quality of presence. If you want to look at it in a materialist frame, you could say they have a calm nervous system, which allows the clients nervous system to entrain to calmness and reinterpret challenging psychological material in an environment of held safety, similar to being held by a securely attached mother as a child.

Little about healing will be truly understood at the 'New York
Times pop psych article level' of understanding until Western psychology fully integrates the insights of the great wisdom traditions, psychedelic medicine traditions, etc. This is currently happening very quickly and most advanced practitioners in the wild are well past the Overton Window.

Unfortunately this shouldn't be surprising: especially in this time of purse strings tightening and every Enshittification-powered company trying to grind out the last bits of "value" out of their hostage base, companies are bound to take measures to enforce their moats.

Migrating to services where the data is free and not captive was always the only long-term solution.

Next up: rather than inventing technical solutions to work around walled gardens, we need serious legislative efforts to mandate data freedom. It should be possible to export 100% of one's data stored in a service like Twitter or Reddit in a reasonably-parseable format (a tarball of JSON as one possible example, or maybe a SQLite database, or whatever is appropriate) and import it to a new service. Data moats must end, or we'll be doing this same stupid dance every few years when the next MySpaceBookTokDit enshittifies and takes everyone's social data with it.

This population in Belgium and Spain seems to have died out:

"Earlier EEMH (10 tested in total), on the other hand, did not seem to be ancestral to any present-day population, nor did they form any cohesive group in and of themselves, each representing either completely distinct genetic lineages, admixture between major lineages, or have highly divergent ancestry. Because of these, the study also concluded that, beginning roughly 37,000 years ago, EEMH descended from a single founder population and were reproductively isolated from the rest of the world. The study reported that an Aurignacian individual from Grottes de Goyet, Belgium, has more genetic affinities to the Magdalenian inhabitants of Cueva de El Mirón, Spain, than to more or less contemporaneous Eastern European Gravettians.[15]"

The population in Spain apparently had music, as this flute is dated to 40k years ago:

In a word, nope. There was another fellow in the dorm, Renee, who was a genius, too. He was brown.

Again with the drugs. Drugs destroy your mind, they are irrelevant to what I'm talking about. I know of no drugs that will turn you into a genius.

A little story about Hal. Hal rarely bothered to ever go to class. He'd pick up the textbook at the end of the semester, flip through it, and would ace the exam. Again and again and again. He did not know this material beforehand. It was just effortless to him. Renee, too.

Me, and most everyone else, had to work very hard all through the semester to have a hope of passing the final.

No, environment doesn't create geniuses. They are born that way.
50% intelligible is not infinitely better than 0% intelligible. In fact it could be that you're completely misled into believing something that's not true at all. Whereas if you are aware you understand 0% you're not jumping to these wild conclusions as confidently.
I used this theme for awhile but I kept running into visual bugs that caused certain applications to not render at all, and as a recent parent I just decided that tinkering with desktop / window manager constantly just wasn't worth it anymore.

She did Parlimentary (Parli), which is an incredibly abridged format in which you only learn the topic of debate 20 minutes before the round, and it changes every round. It's in literally no way comparable to Policy, where you are debating the same thing all year, and put in literally tens or hundreds of hours of preparation.

She's talking about a format she has no clue about, because it's just a right-wing rage-bait article. There have been a bunch since NDT finals, and everyone who knows about that round knows exactly why these *particular* people are so mad...
What do you mean reversed? The NES already assigned letters right-to-left: B A!

Controllers typically used sets of A-B(-C) X-Y(-Z) face buttons, A/B intuitively meaning ok/back however they were laid out, usually in straight or angled rows assigned left-to-right (e.g. Sega) or right-to-left (e.g. Nintendo). The angled layouts are the modern Xbox and Nintendo layouts (which Nintendo used since forever and Xbox I guess inherited from their Windows CE involvement with Sega).

But Sony came up with the symbols instead, so Japanese devs followed the maru/batsu metaphor with circle/X, whereas early western games used X/triangle until they switched to X/circle, and those became official regional layouts until the PS5 switched Japan to X/circle.
The details matter, beyond the "safe and effective!" catchphrase.

From the provost's introduction to Feynman:

> The chairman suggested that an annual salary of $3,000 was a bit too low for a distinguished faculty member, and recommended that Professor Feynman’s salary be increased $900. The dean, in an act of unusual generosity and with complete disregard for the solvency of the university, crossed out the $900 and made it an even $1,000.

Using the BLS CPI inflation calculator to convert from 1945 to 2023 dollars gives an annual salary of ~$67.5k. Pretty good bargain for a "distinguished faculty member".

However, considering that the USD was pegged to gold at $35/troy ounce, $4k in 1945 was worth 114.29 troy ounces of gold. This is $224k at the time of writing. Much more fitting for a "distinguished faculty member". :^)

Musl also includes res_send() etc., which can be used for MX records, and e.g. Qmail did use that back then. Here's the commit adding TCP support to those functions in Musl.

AOL was the specific case we ran into that at the time (ca. 2000) returned either MX or A records (can't remember which caused the problem) that required more than 512 bytes.

First of all: lies, damn lies and statistics. Even if we had hard raw data on a census of a population, we are going to interpret the causes differently. Because there never is one answer to a sociological issue. Truth also doesn't determine the best course of action for any given society either.

Tame example: say that we know that objectively 100% of the time that browsing Facebook leads to depression. Okay... what do we do with this? Do we force facebook to change, maybe even ban it from a country? do we strongly regulate people using Facebook? Maybe only regulate minors? How does that information affect Instagram or any other Meta product? One "truth" doesn't answer these questions.

Second of all: debate is ultimately communication, and communication is about being able to express your own thoughts, often while trying to appeal to other person's thoughts. These core factors of society are important no matter the topic. It should also ideally teach one to consider multiple points of view and make for a more well rounded understanding on comlpex issues, but well... here's the article talking about modern debate.

My take is this.

There is a very simple way to write a breadth-first webcrawler that works in stages and saves the frontier in an ordinary text file, this kind of webcrawler can be implemented in almost any programming language, particularly shell. That is, you write a script that loops over the urls in the frontier, fetches them, then writes new urls it find in the next frontier, you can use sort, uniq and such to manage the frontier.

That simple breadth first webcrawler has the big advantage that it does not get stuck in web traps (say a calendar that has a button to go the next year which could easily scan up to the year 9595, if man is still alive). Or rather, after a certain number of passes (maybe N=10-15] all the real URLs have been crawled and the remaining URLs are web traps.

In a language like Java it is tempting to write a much more complex crawl manager that has the potential to crawl faster with threads but takes more care to not crash target sites, get caught in web traps, etc. The first web crawler I wrote (1999) had a highly complex crawl control system, future web crawlers I wrote got simpler and simpler because the simple breadth first crawler works very well for small projects.

I assume that how an Nvidia GPU works on a laptop depends a lot on the laptop.

On a Lenovo gaming laptop, I have lost two days until finding how to configure Linux on it against Nvidia Optimus, but after that it has worked fine.

On the other hand, on several Dell Precision laptops with Nvidia GPUs (sold with Ubuntu, but I have wiped their Ubuntu and I have installed another Linux distribution from scratch) the Nvidia GPUs have worked perfectly, out of the box, without any effort.

I have not tried Wayland, but I have used 3 monitors for many years, with various Nvidia GPUs and without any problems. The configuration of multiple monitors with the NVIDIA X Server Settings program is much simpler than in Linux systems with AMD or Intel GPUs.

Because almost every new Linux kernel version breaks the out-of-tree device drivers, it is unavoidable that some time must pass until NVIDIA releases a compatible driver version, though that might change soon, when their new open-source kernel module will be integrated in the kernel sources.

Nevertheless, the NVIDIA driver has always supported the latest long-term kernel, so if you update only between long-term versions there are no problems with incompatible NVIDIA drivers.
How about using non-break spaces in filenames? It worked when I last tried it (https://boston.conman.org/2018/02/28.2).
To be fair one of the issues with AMD and ML is they have been pretending it works for years now, when nothing actually works.

Calling that out publicly is probably needed at this point, or they will keep putting AI in their earnings reports without anyone actually being able to train a model on an AMD chip.
Exports only help if new services support imports.

And some of those wouldn't be particularly helpful; @tags would lose a lot of meaning as you migrate, especially if others on the destination platform already have that handle.
This is essentially the Birthday paradox. You need a quadratically better false match rate to deduplicate than to authenticate.

Yeah their desktop-software on Linux is clearly the same stuff they had in 2004, right down to the Qt 3.1 version it's built with and the gamma ramp editor.

> Oh, and accept a very high idle power draw if you choose not to go with Windows.

Power management worked exactly identically to Windows with every nVidia card I've ever seen on Linux.

> a laptop

I think this is the actual salient issue here. Firmware quality varies wildly on laptops, not just for stuff like this, but even much more... basic things. Intel AX2xx wifi cards cause crashes and freezes in both Windows and Linux when used in some laptops (Thinkpads, namely), but are perfectly fine and dandy in others, or on desktops.

I suspect firmware quality correlates strongly with how much the OEM decided to write, which is to say, it gets worse with every line of code added by the OEM. I think that's why Thinkpads, HPs, Dells etc. are so notorious for their shitty firmware and trashy ECs, while practical no-names have none of these problems, simply because they're more or less just sticking the Intel (or AMD) reference platform in a box - and suddenly it "just works".
