Genuine question: What exactly do you enjoy? Twenty years go, you could do a mountain road engine braking with downshifts, getting then the perfect gear for the turn apex and coming out perfectly balanced. But cars have changed. Engine braking is a lot less effective today (different compression ratios, better mechanics). Automatics now have more gears and allow you to manually select the gear, so you can control available torque in the turn.

It seems the advantages of manual transmissions no longer exist.
Thanks for the correction. I think it would have been better for me to say that counter-intelligence operations in the country have long intentionally colored inconvenient facts as wild conjecture, regardless of their historical foundation.

- they have a really good proprietary acceleration library (accelerate)

But I don't think it would be so fast on, say, an Ampere Altra compared to a similarly priced EPYC cpu.

Obfuscation is using a clear and consistent metric instead of the one that is most convenient for marketing a product?

Volvo, the vehicle company that started out making bearings, used to make a big selling point in the 80's about their knobs, switches and buttons were good enough for people wearing gloves in the middle of the Scandinavian winters and intuitively placed for drivers to use without taking their eyes off the road. Saab were the same, but fast forward to today and the lunatics are calling the shots.

Even the flappy paddle gearboxes still have a weakness, namely they dont have a clutch peddle to dip when the traction control/esp decides to have a nightmare and ends up trying to cause accidents, where oil, ice or snow removes the grip and temporarily freewheeling is the fastest way to get the vehicle back under control before reengaging the drive system.

And these tablets like displays ruin the night vision, I actually liked the old Saab displays where you could press a button and it switched the lights off to loads of buttons and gauges for night driving.

Cars have got noticeably worse with these tablet displays.
Fun fact: I worked in the office building where they filmed the CDC scenes (spoiler: it’s not and never was the CDCs real office), was kinda cool to walk the halls and enter the clean room they used.
> Personally, I've never seen SQL unit tests/asserts demonstrate value in practice.

Do you mind expanding why? As someone currently looking for ways to integrate standard software engineering practices into (analytical) SQL code, I am curious about your reasoning.

> The vast majority of tests are simple uniqueness or non-null tests that would only catch the sloppiest mistakes

But don't they still happen? Perhaps they're not useful now, but may reveal clear problems when the original implementation is stretched in ways that weren't anticipated -- which is a common argument in favor of testing.

To add to this, I've been keeping an eye on sqlmesh and I like the distinction they make between testing [1] (asserting logic) and auditing [2] (validating expectations on the data).
Their builtin audits go beyond "not-null" and "unique", including statistical checks, for example.

I had the same idea last year. But it's difficult. To encode knowledge in CycL required intensive training, mostly in how their KB encoded very abstract concepts and "obvious" knowledge. They used to boast about how they had more philosophy PhDs than anywhere else.

It's possible that an LLM that's been trained on enough examples, and that's smart enough, could actually do this. But I'm not sure how you'd review the output to know if it's right. The LLM doesn't have to be much faster than you to overwhelm the capacity of reviewing the results.

Apple does not have a history of giving most of their data to the US government. I'd go so far as to say that they have given less than .00001% of their data to the US government and they were probably legally obligated to do so. Apple actually has a history of not bending over to the government.
I agree with your theory that the brain works this way, however, I'd qualify that the method you identify is "great" insofar as it has an effect, rather than it being necessarily good or best practice.

The cause of depression must be rooted out. Blending it in together with other stimuli is just diluting the poison, and that poison will corrupt other facets of your life. Drowning out the source of your depression is effectively the same as running away from and burying it, which can lead to self-destructive impulses that permeate the positive signals. Those impulses will leave people confused as to why they're in emotional turmoil even when engaging in things that should feel good.

Sorry if I've rained on your parade. It is good to feel good, but it is best to feel whole. That's what I want for people who suffer from depression.

I think the things that people self describe as "exercise" are rarely joyful. The name itself implies that the intent is the result and not the act itself.

But if you ask people if they like walking around a cute downtown full of little shops, or surfing, or exploring a valley looking for wildflowers, or going to a nightclub and dancing, gardening, etc., then you'll discover a world of activities that are physical and also enjoyable.

The Imperial System definitely feels far more human-oriented ... (and not just because some measurements have body parts associated (foot, handspan, etc))

Temperatures are a good example of this, and I saw a wonderful graphic/meme a few years ago I can put here in print:

---------

F - 0º 100º - pretty cold, pretty hot

C - 0º 100º- cold, dead

K - 0º 100º - dead, still dead

---------

Imperial units are not objectively "better" than Metric units

Neither are Metric units objectively "better" than Imperial units

You can definitely tell Imperial is meant for "human" or "comfort" use vs Metric's "scientific" or "precision" use, though

This is unfortunately very common. "Icky" topics in science are not likely to get funding or published in a good journal. There is a line one must toe and to step out of it, you need to be someone big first, and often the only way to get big is to walk the line for a long time.

If science is truly and completely uncensored, lots of accepted cultural norms would be completely flipped over, including things that people have long considered "settled" or treated as facts. Alas, people just want to hear what they like and the grants are allocated as such. Part of the reason lots of people are disillusioned with academia and go to the industry instead. You can have strong evidences supporting your hypothesis but the court of public opinion does not care one bit about the science. They only want someone agreeing with them.
Automatics are more fuel efficient, and govenment keeps raising the efficiency requirements. Automatics do this by having a lot of gears and changing up very aggressively. It would suck to drive a 7 or 9 speed manual (maybe truck drivers feel differently; I think 5 is optimal for a car) but automatics can manage it and squeeeze out another tenth of an MPG.

I love manual transmissions and will never buy an automatic unless forced to. I'd rather buy a used car with a manual than anything new.
We do not have a good theory of Quantum Gravity.

Until we do, all such (semi)classical calculations just demonstrate that we are in dire need of a new theory of QG.

No, an electron is not a point particle (QED with renormalization is just a preposterous hack).

No, an electron is not a black hole.

No, QM entanglement is not literally a GR wormhole (ER != EPR).

Something new is needed. We don't have it yet.
The iPhone works because it's a device you'll look at all the time while operating its touchscreen.

The car touchscreen doesn't work since you need to operate buttons without directly looking at them, purely by tactile feel.

This is not a problem touchscreens we're able to fix so far, and I don't think this will change any time soon since there's just not enough ways for a touchscreen to provide this level of tactile feedback.

It does remove any pressure from companies. Their neck is still on the line.

It adds pressure to companies because it creates a paper trail. It enables good faith companies to work with researchers as well. They can even have researchers contact each other if they are both looking into the same thing.

Companies can already rush out any product they want with no security. Lack of security is still a risk, regardless of how we address researching vulnerabilities

Hawking radiation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

"Hawking radiation reduces the mass and rotational energy of black holes and is therefore also theorized to cause black hole evaporation. Because of this, black holes that do not gain mass through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish.

For all but the smallest black holes, this would happen extremely slowly. The radiation temperature is inversely proportional to the black hole's mass, so micro black holes are predicted to be larger emitters of radiation than larger black holes and should dissipate faster per their mass."
I'm not sure if it'd be necessary/useful but it might also be interesting to leverage zero-knowledge proofs so that interested parties could verify when the contents of a disclosure were made available without actually accessing the contents until after some attempts at remediation.

Yes, except US is not trying to destroy China while China seems to be secretly dreaming of destroying the West and becoming a global authoritarian hegemon. All after the US did for them.
Exactly this! It gets even cooler in this example too because the meter for "Odi et amo" elided to "Od'et amo" directly parallels the scansion for "excrucior" (long syllable, short syllable, short syllable, long syllable). So the two concepts that start and end the poem (love+hate, and torture) are also linked by how they are pronounced. Incidentally, that linkage is also the message of the poem itself.

These two lines are basically just Catulus' being a complete show-off. And IMO, some of Ovid's work makes Catulus look like a bit of an amateur by comparison.

Classical latin poetry is like 10% being able to write down clever ideas and 90% showing off your grasp of grammar and vocabulary such that you can pose and solve incredibly difficult linguistic puzzles. I think Sanskrit is pretty similar in this respect too.

Are you deliberately ignoring vaccination? I genuinely can't tell if I'm being trolled into a conspiracy argument or not. But just in case:

The vaccines turned an extremely dangerous pandemic into a tolerable-if-still-worrisome endemic disease. This lancet paper represents a pretty good consensus belief that vaccines saved 14M lives.

> "I think really very few people truly enjoy exercise for its own sake"

I don't know how true this is. When folks talk about things like a "runners high", an activity that even at my most fit was abject misery, I have to wonder just how differently we're experiencing these things. When I was lifting heavy, I also suffered from some pretty serious delayed onset muscle soreness. I know for a fact folks have varied experiences and tolerances for that. Some people's muscles recover much more quickly from heavy exercise, reducing the overall unpleasantness associated with exercise. With all of the variables and testimony from folks I've worked out with, I have to assume a decent amount of people who exercise regularly actually enjoy the exercise itself. For me it never became more than a means to an end. It's something I know is good for mind and body, but my mind and body consistently rebel against it.
I mean, if you live in the American South during the summer, being outside works up a sweat. Physical exertion is going to leave you drenched no matter what clothing you're wearing.

And there's a difference between active "stink" and just smelling like sweat and exercise. One is worse but neither is particularly pleasant for your office-mates.
The entire reason for touchscreens weren't because touch is better than tactile, it's because different apps will have different UI needs that cannot be predicted by the phones manufacturer. Steve Jobs says as much in the original keynote.

Cars don't really have this problem because they only have one primary job, and all other functions (eg climate control) are easily predicted by the manufacturer.
1) Most job applications ever done for any professional job don't have the job applicant meeting 100% of the actual job requirements. Don't stress out about applying. The worst thing that will happen to you is you won't get the job.

2) Please do recognize that we're in a down economic period and employers can afford to be more stringent with the requirements. Your odds of getting an interview are probably lower than average.

3) That said, wasting ~15 minutes of your life to make a half-decent application for a job you really want seems worth it.
Yes. Surely "more tokens" doesn't mean "more epochs".
This is the same process I learned after too many years of unrealistic expectations and turning relationships tense by "change requisition clients" to death.

Estimate the overall project effort the best that you can, then add 20-30% for risk/scope unknowns. Then pull 30% of the total level of effort in to a small contract that covers planning, specs, UX/prototyping and perhaps a limited scope technical PoC.
I don't know why this seems so strange. Throughout history, every leading nation has done this. The US is just the most recent version. The British empire, the Romans, the Persians are just examples of the precedent. The US has just dropped language like empire and replaced with humanitarian

The paper isn't about splitting water to yield hydrogen and oxygen gas which would be useful for energy applications. It's about a new way to make radical hydrogen (1 protein plus 1 electron) which is useful for synthesizing some organic compounds. It will be helpful for synthetic chemists and will make it easier to explore hydrogen radical chemistry. It may replace some processes that currently require transition metal catalysts, especially Samarium which is a rare earth element.
I am concerned that if there is an increase in bogus CVEs, they will be taken less seriously over time and a lot of the good important work will be lost. What can we normal non security people do?
If we’re talking about clarity I think there’s some merit to the claim. It has tense markers that English lacks which buys you information in the conjugation about tense, gender and speaker. And unlike other Latin languages you aren’t able to drop the subject and just rely on the verb to convey it which forces clarity one could argue. You get the best of both worlds for clarity though the worst of both worlds for conjugation complexity and overall verboseness.

At least that’s my attempt to defend the GP’s statement.
