Boy, this modern obsession with IQ is no less intense than old Indian obsession with purity. The fact that IQ can't be measured or even defined any better than purity does not take the force away.

Fortunately, IQ based society looks less evil than prurity based. At least your place in society is not strictly fixed by your birth.
Yes, I know, proscriptive rules of language w/ grammer etc. are, fundamentally, wrong in so far as they attempt to describe a single unchanging standard that should always be adhered to. Language is fluid and always has been, and grammar is less about being "correct" and more about "that's how it's been done for a bunch of decades".

So I'm alright with word usage changing, I just don't like the forms it takes on when it's adopted en masse by content farmers or anyone else generating click-baity titles. This style of use for "genius" is relatively new. A time line of ngram probabilities through to 2019 [1] show almost no usage while a google search [2] with more recent results shows plenty, mostly in the vein of SEO optimized headlines/titles etc.

The Gundam meme is an over-simplification; Tomino is moralistic but he's far too weird to just have a normal moral like that. Typical Tomino morals are like "all old people are evil, including myself", "we should have a matriarchy", and whatever Brain Powerd was about.
There is good shame and bad shame. If you murder someone, then you should rightly feel shame. If you are gay, then you should not feel shame. Shame can work both ways.

> In the marketplace, only results matter and companies that deliver them displace those that don’t. In this case, result mean profit or at least conversions.

Were this the unalterable truth, mom and pop shops wouldn't exist. Companies who invest profits back into themselves would not exist. Public companies who pay living wages wouldn't exist.

But they all do.

Which means there's more to the formula; and that formula can include things like respecting their users.
No, I don't think that assholes are a new phenomenon, and I agree that rude and entitled behavior has always existed. However, societal norms and expectations regarding how to handle such situations may have evolved over time. In the past, confrontation might have been more common.

The debt limit adjustment is to allow the treasury to borrow enough to cover payments already approved by congress. It is meretricious to object to that: if you don't think the money should be spent you should not have approved the spending in the first place.
No worries. Though I should have been a bit more precise in my original statement.

Branch banking was almost universally forbidden in the US from the start of the country, then over the course of the 20th century, most restrictions were gradually lifted. That process was essentially completed in the 1990s.

The anti-branch-banking restrictions were (mostly) done at the state level; so it's hard to generalise over the whole union.

That's misleading. GOP employed their usual tactic of being completely fine with defaulting, and used split congress to force the cuts they wanted through.

>McConnell said that Republicans would not block a short-term increase of the debt limit until December, as long as Democrats met certain conditions.

It would be nice if both parties were unhappy! However it's very clear which party owns power when it comes to the debt ceiling here, and the other bearing the potential burden of causing financial ruin.
It's part of the original vision. One day they'll go through a Musk moment and rebrand to "AI".

I got my PhD studying band structure of high-tc superconductors (experimentalist, ARPES). These Cu d-d interactions right at the fermi energy give me huge hope. Feels very familiar to other superconductors (re: all the cuprates). (Note: I specifically worked in a lab that was measuring a lot of the d-wave character / gap-energies of various superconductors)

All in all, I'm now much more bullish on LK-99 being real superconductivity after seeing multiple different labs compute similar band structures. The video of multiple directions of magnet showing some levitation also inspires a lot of hope.

That’s not unsurprising when it comes to a lot of research. The bench scientists I know often struggle with yield rates and labs have special knowledge about their particular set up when it comes to getting stuff to work.

Even in robotics (my area), if you are watching a video of a robot doing something cool, there’s often a bunch of times they ran the same demo and it didn’t work for some (often largely irrelevant to the main idea) reason. I also remember, in an undergrad analog circuits class, we had to build an amplifier on a breadboard with certain performance specs (e.g., a fairly high cut off frequency, etc.). This ended up being fairly difficult due to the tolerances in the components to which we had access and breadboard parasitics. I recall getting a non-trivial performance boost by swapping out a dozen 2n2222’s until we found “a good one.” The gray beard professor laughed and said that’s an expected part of our practical education.

I don't know why anyone should be concerned about anything here, unless you want immediate confirmation.

It's a process. Scientists will try to replicate and try to simulate and try to reason theoretically. They are bound to make mistakes but all of this can be critiqued and iterated on.

Again, there's no problem unless you need immediate confirmation or you think chasing this idea is a waste of time.

I do but do you have any idea how many of the bloody things I have to add?

I have lots of customers with VMware - the vCentres each have a CA.

... all their switches, routers, other stuff ... a lot of stuff.

Each one is secure, or at least I decide if it is - I know where it is and I keep its firmware up to date. I communicate with each device over https and I know all is good.

Where this nonsense goes wrong is that a browser programmer thinks that they know better than me and impose their policy on me, with no recourse.

My tenon saw does not tell me how to use it. If I bark my knuckles or cut off my fingers that is my fault. My browser (maintained by fucking children) thinks it knows best for me.

I suggest that the cool kids have a major rethink about who knows what's best in quite a few scenarios that they never even considered and basically grow up. That's what I had to do, back in the day and is pretty much what all adults will eventually confess to because that is what growing up means.

Apologies--still working on everything (which is why I didn't post the URL).

But here's a technical description:

1. Imagine we build a platform abstraction layer on top of the typical nodes of a datacenter: web servers, database storage, etc.

2. We also create a remoted UI layer on the platform that renders on browser clients as HTML/JavaScript. Think of it like X Windows but higher-level and rendered on a browser.

3. Now we build a VM that can execute byte code and runs on the platform layer. We can now create programs that run entirely on the server/datacenter, but can render UI on the client. From the program's perspective, it thinks it has full control over a machine, but the platform layer takes care of remoting as appropriate.

4. Also, we have abstractions for shared memory, so that multiple programs can share data, even if they happen to be running on different nodes. Multiple programs, each potentially run by different users, can collaborate.

Effectively, all programs think that they are running on a single, giant, global computer.

Happy to answer questions if this is at all interesting.
> government debt is fine as long as it’s used to fund expenses that have an roi greater than the debt servicing costs

Most federal spending is on things that will have no monetary return. A very large proportion is on age-related spending (healthcare and social security).

Running up debt to pay for education makes a certain amount of sense. Running up debt to pay for the lifestyles of those who will never have to service that debt seems unjust.
No, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, which is Up the Hill from Berkeley. They're run by the same underlying organization but are distinct (yet overlapping in many ways). LBL evolved out of the UC Berkeley Rad Lab, run by Earnest O. Lawrence (same name as the current lab). They do non-classified research.

There is also Lawrence Livermore National Lab, which is nearby, but in Livermore. They do classified research in addition to non-classified. I suppose it's one of the two places they simulate nuclear weapons... errr, run large scale multi-physics combustion codes for stockpile stewardship.
We'd have to exclude them, otherwise it just raises the question of how the machine was installed originally. And if that was done using some complicated automated setup, the cost and complexity of the setup draws the result down. Assume the storage has some unknown content.

This ongoing research saga pretty much the most excited I’ve been about anything since before Covid. It feels like the science equivalent of watching your favorite sports team on an epic rise towards winning a world championship.

Even if this turns out to flop, I hope history remembers the original authors favorably. They really did find something that by all accounts could plausibly be a room temp superconductor. And of course this seems to have turned over quite a stone. Peripheral research as a result of this will likely continue for years, even if superconductivity is disproven.
Think of a teenager done with their growth spurt. Beyond that point, people stop measuring growth everyday.
Genuinely curious, what amortized costs would cost you 2X the electric rate? A fast charger with install is about $2K on the expensive end which is a ROI of 40K miles or so for a Sedan EV. Besides that, what else would make your electric cost from 0.23 to 0.46?! I pay around 0.17 a kWH and that's final cost. As in bill/Kwh used.
I don't agree. Germany for example is pretty shameless beyond the shame border in USA. To give you a few maybe extreme examples (which does not apply to all people in Germany and not all this examples are sexual): Mixed saunas, swinger clubs, open relationships, no shame on being naked in designated nudity areas, topless DJs, a naked women is not a big skandal etc.

Yet Germany does not have the drug problems which Oregon has.

USA has a big shame problem (just look at IG) in sense of nudity and nipples (which is spreading around the globe thanks to US tech) yet you say shame is devalued in USA.

I think I just debunked your theory (sorry for that) but it's not shame.
That’s pedantic. No one means literal instant charging, just figuratively.

We've never been this low in a graph before, at least in modern history: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/birt...

What happens when we hit 10 births per 1000 people?

South Korea has it even worse:

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/KOR/south-korea/birth-...

They are bottoming at 6.

You never know what happens until it does. Hopefully productivity increases along with redistribution away from just the capital that provides those increases will help, or perhaps we will get in a big war or pandemic and the problem will sort itself through excess deaths.
> The industry eats the cost, not the FDIC, which funds it through industry taxes.

One problem is that FDIC does an insufficient job at charging banks of different riskiness different premiums.

Privately organised deposit insurance without an (implicit or explicit) government backstop would avoid that problem.

> You can be a boring bank and most likely mint profit for yourself for eternity, while also being seen as a positive actor in your city!

Banks caring about individual cities is a weird Americanism. Mostly stemming from their long standing bans on branch banking.

Minting profits for eternity is nice, but having money right now is also nice. A company can use their 'cost of capital' metric to make a rational decision between the two.

> The only people who aren't satisfied with such a set up are the same "Gotta grift everyone" silicon valley style assholes who think an economy is an idle game and they have to have the highest number because they are smartest and bestest.

Leave the ad-hominem at the door, please.

Managers have a fiduciary duty to the owners of the company. For most companies, and especially most banks, that means they have a duty to make money for the shareholders. (Shareholders can have other goals that they can task management with; making money is just the default.)

If managers shirk their fiduciary, shareholders can sue them. And that includes when they are shirking making the right trade-off between long term profits and short term profits:

Use your cost of capital to calculate the present value of future cash flows. Choose the path that has the largest present value.

If interest rates are high enough, it _is_ economic rational to chop down the entire forest for wood today, instead of harvesting it sustainable.

Btw, most banks do 'gamble'. They just differ in how much they gamble and on what.
