Is that why China is building factories here and sending their IP? No doubt there are innovators in China (or were until they had a free thought) but sticking to status quo has been chinas standard.
I look forward to modernized nations reaching out to similar nations for better production. China is a mogulized dictatorship (ill agree there is some garbage in all western countries too) that is heading for a governmental breakdown ...as opposed to housing or stocks in the US and other western places. Government shutdown in the US is charades ... I wouldnt know how to describe it in china terms.

> p=0.05 is a filter for "worth trying to replicate"

Yes, I think that is an excellent way to put it.

> The crisis in science is largely that people confuse "publishable" with "probably true".

I would put it slightly differently: people conflate "published in a top-tier peer-reviewed journal" with "true beyond reasonable dispute". They also conflate "not published in a top-tier peer-reviewed journal" with "almost certainly false."

But I think we're in substantial agreement here.
The science clearly says FTL is possible: Einstein himself postulated wormholes (known now as Einstein-Rosen bridges), and warp drive has been proven to be possible (though not too practical yet) by Miguel Alcubierre and Sonny White.
That's complete nonsense, though obviously not 100% (I'm no sommelier) I could definitely identify some grapes blind (and then implicitly could tell you if it's red or white). And a master sommelier... well they can do that and then some.

If I wasn't sure of the grape, sure I might not confidently say if it's red or white. Because other than visually that isn't really as big a deal as it naïvely seems? Wine doesn't taste 'red' or 'white' it has different flavours and some grapes are red and others are white, but that's really only a visual difference.

(Ok fine some flavours or textures are so much more common in one vs the other that it might allow a solid guess of the colour even if you had no idea of the grape - 'minerally' or 'bready'/'yeasty' tasting/smelling is probably white; very tannic is probably red. But I think my point stands, it's pretty meaningless, and certainty will come from identifying something more specific, and then knowing what colour that is, to satisfy the naïve hater that thinks that's the most important trait.)

Writing is not moving a pen across paper but learning to wield language. It's been decades since I wrote anything more than a few scribbles using a pen. It's slow. It's clumsy. My hands cramp up. It's literally painful. I don't miss it, at all. Useless skill as far as I'm concerned. I grew up in the seventies and eighties so that was just the way things were done. But that's nearly 40-50 years ago. Doing that right now is backwards.

Why teach people how to mess up their hands and wrists and then not teach then how to use a keyboard properly? Most writing that still matters gets done with those. It's faster, more efficient. A lot easier to produce lots of text. Which is actually a key thing when you are learning to write: you need to write a lot. Having tools tell you when you are getting your grammar and spelling wrong is super helpful. Having a teacher with a red pen is slow and inefficient. Fast feedback loops are great for learning. Getting corrected while you are writing is much better than days/weeks later when your poor overworked teacher gets around to dealing with your writing.

In the same way, I use a kindle. Actual paper books are a relic of the past. I read more than before I had ebook readers. It's so much better. Why limit yourself to books that fit in the tiny little backpack of a kid when you can the whole world of books and the internet at your finger tips? School books are dreadful. You get locked into whatever the school and published deems successful. Some schools get that right but a lot of them just fall for the mediocre drivel that the education publishers shovel out.

Modern schools should embrace technology, AI, and prepare kids for this century; not the last one.

Okay, let's assume China accidentally released COVID from that wuhan lab, and we have ironclad proof.

How do you stop China from producing and leaking COVID 2.0? If China says "How dare you slander our good name and insinuate our scientific endeavors are done in any way that isn't safe", how do you stop them? We can "pressure" them all we want, China has made it clear that they are not afraid to be an antagonist of the US, they intend to be a threat to the US militarily within a decade or so, and we are already sanctioning them on the important stuff.

What other levers can we pull?

COVID started in China, and whether it happened in a wet market or a lab, poor processes are to blame. Unless we are willing to start shooting, we can not force China to tighten up such processes. I think they probably want to on their own, since COVID has not been fun for them, but we can't force China to change sovereign reality any more than they can force us to sell them AI chips.

The only workable solution is to assume there WILL be future pandemics, and be prepared for them, with a stockpile of PPE and teams ready to respond quickly. Obama had both of these setup, but Trump killed them and sold off the PPE before COVID hit the radar.

Smooth and identifiable already (plus the deepfake video which is just crazy). Everyone can wring their hands about copyright and authenticity and royalties, but I am excited by the opportunity for creators to use AI to create new things.

>While our current models seem nearly perfect and therefore nearly complete

Huh? Where did you get this idea? Our physics is clearly nowhere near complete. Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are at odds, which is why physicists have been looking for a unified theory for ages. Each one only works at certain scales, and not at the other end, so obviously something's wrong with them. The whole "dark matter" thing looks like BS too, and alternate theories like MOND don't require it. There's nothing complete at all about our understanding of physics.
Especially now.

And it’s not even that much better than just showing this information to either side of the notch, or somewhere below it (in other words, what they used to do since the notch was introduced).

I see the DI maybe once or twice a day, if that, for a second or two.

Again, it’s fine as an alternative, but it’s not the selling point they and DI apologists are making it to be.
That response seems a bit nonsensical... yeah they made the commitment and set a date. And then they stuck to it.

I think there’s also wildly overestimating the value of elite schools for undergrad - in undergrad you’re so far from the “state of the art” that you’d probably get about the same level of education at those schools than you would at any good (for example) European public university/US state university with a decent CS department - of which there are many and they're neither as expensive nor as selective.

Elite schools only really matter for their reputation and for research (which is done at the grad level, not in undergrad).
Except no one will want to ship an encoder/decoder for performance (network & CPU) as well as requiring JS. It would take of images to break even on the cost of shipping the WASM—so these things would never get adopted.

Nah, the "camps" around here are a bunch of tents where people just want to be left alone. The only violence happens to other homeless people, so it's "contained" in a way. The best part is that the city keeps throwing away everything these people physically own, so they have no hope of improving their situation and ever escaping homelessness, and all the social workers struggle to keep in touch with the homeless community because they keep being jerked around and screwed with for no benefit.

Tell me, if you are homeless, where are you supposed to go when the sun goes down? As far as I can tell, it is a crime to not be in a bed you have paid for. Why have we made it a crime to be alive?

This is fundamentally the problem.

To expand / clarify slightly: REM sleep is absolutely essential to "higher animals". It is not, though, "deep sleep" in the sense that "long slow delta wave" sleep is often called "deep sleep", and the "NREM" stages of sleep tend to be "deeper" (in the sense of physiology 'slower' / harder to awaken) than REM sleep.

This Wikipedia article could use some editing, at least for clarity, but is certainly a solid enough reference and starting point for further reading (for anyone interested): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_cycle

Apnea is incredibly stressful on the body / mind. Disruption before REACHING REM sleep (one of the reasons REM may be referred to as "deep sleep" in non-technical language) is among the worst of the effects. Since most of a single cycle is NOT REM sleep but rather stages occurring before REM, REM is a phase most often prevented by episodes of apnea. But, the physiological stress also relates to disruption of other phases as well.

Besides sometimes profound effects on cognitive function varying over days and weeks depending on the severity / frequency of "apneic events", the stresses that accumulate over time tend to cause cardiovascular problems, especially.

As usual, sites like Cleveland Clinic's and Mayo Clinic's etc. give good info (short of the more technical scientific review articles you can search for on PubMed, for example). Cleveland Clinic's seems quite good to me (perhaps a bit better in clarity regarding phases of sleep than the Wikipedia article, as well):

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8718-sleep-ap...

Edit: you wrote "long deep REM cycles" - that's a reasonable phrasing and would also 'frame' effects overall. So, if it's unclear from my writing (ha, write after I 'dinged' a Wikipedia article), there is no conflict (depending on exactly how one reads these messages, of course) between my message and the parent. To clarify, it was not my intention to come off that way (but I see that certain emphases might suggest that, apologies if it reads that way to some!)
One way to look at is that the more people who can figure out how to make money in a crisis without adding to said crisis, the less severe the crisis becomes. If someone can price distressed corporate bonds better, they will bid higher, and bagholders of companies that actually have decent prospects (but are hurt by market anomalies in crisis situations) can then lose less money, compared to the alternative.

As an analogy, imagine that your home is wrecked in a hurricane, but a scraps dealer is able to offer money for what's left. If there's only one scraps dealer around, they will absolutely rip you off and pay you just enough that you'd be livid and kicking but still aren't motivated to find a way to sell the scraps yourself. But if there are two scraps dealers competing for the wreckage, it'd be easier for you to get a market deal.

Scraps dealers improve their profitability by finding better ways to sell the scraps, so in a competitive environment, you could indirectly benefit from their experience. You make them sound like terrible people by saying they "make money off a disaster", but objectively their existence is a net benefit to the situation. One thing that can make this argument break down is that scraps companies
may rely a lot on information asymmetry and price gouging, but that is actually less of problem for financial transactions that can be systematically electronified, where there's a lot of regulation and said regulation is more easily enforced.

Making markets efficient is a very abstract concept that people makes people feel disconnected from the benefits. But in this abstract way, it does contribute to the economy.

Not enough smart people thinking like Jane Street (or any large trading company with a track record of managing risk), but still performing financial activities, is arguably what causes financial crises to begin with. Think people buying into schemes based on returns that are too good to be true, bundling bad mortgages without modeling it properly, or banks not taking clients' money seriously.

Figuring out(or not) difficult questions does make me happy I think. Or let's say I enjoy the focus but hate the eventual frustration.
Not to trivialize or dismiss the undeniable tragedy of your lived experience, but--yes, there is a neurological, and therefore chemical, component to trauma-induced depression.

> If you get exposed to a lot of glucocorticoids, you're more at risk now for depression. You can see this epidemiologically: you get people, and statistically, before their first major depressive episode something awful stressful occurs. Have one of those first depressive episodes, due to some stressful event, you come out the other side eventually. You are no more at risk for depression than anybody else. Along comes a second major stressor, and you fall into depression, come out the other end, no more at risk than anyone else for depression. Somewhere around the fourth or fifth stress-induced depression, something happens and things start cycling on their own there and you no longer need a major stressor to cause you to get depressed like that. That's when the clocks are off and running. That's the transition.[0]

Will your life ever have meaning again? Probably not, no. Not the meaning it had before those three very important people were taken from you.

What's the point of going on trips you can't share photos of with them? At least, that's how I've been thinking about my losses.

I'm just a stranger on the internet, but if you told me life had lost its meaning I would believe you, and you would be right.
