I had to make an academic poster in PowerPoint and it was the single worst experience of my academic career. The program just didn't work. I got a ways into it, saved and closed my work, and opened it the next day. Upon opening, no longer could i zoom or scroll or really do anything without the view freezing. I could see the scrollwheel on the side moving but nothing on screen would change. It would stay permanently in this state until i closed it out or (thank God) entered and exited presentation mode, which took seconds to load every time.

Eventually it's crass refusal to do anything even mildly useful taught me the exact set of eggshells to walk on to have a somewhat usable program but the damn thing just wouldn't work. I tried everything, including uninstalling and reinstalling the entire office suite. Nothing changed. My poster was not complicated and my laptop was school issued and more than capable of running a single PowerPoint slide.

I know this is a post of a man's passing. The PowerPoint he built worked. I remember PowerPoint as a usable and fun slide making tool that was usually the highlight of relatively tedious school projects. To see the bug ridden landfill of "BI" "features" it is now is sad. I genuinely spent a day trying to download an old version that wasn't running 3 "ai" processes in the background. It was a simply disgusting experience and i will never use it again.

Oh I think it could have all sorts of use cases. For example:

Let's say you need to buy a gift for a friend. If your LLM assistant is trained on all the WhatsApp chats you've had with that friend, it would understand your relationship well and would be able to recommend something accordingly

Or it could also just speed up the time taken to reply to messages by suggesting responses and therefore having you type less

Most small batteries are sent to landfills, whether they have lithium or nickel. EV batteries and nickel car batteries are easier to recycle because there is an auto shop involved to collect and send the battery to a recycler. If you replace your NiMH 12V battery yourself (rather than having it done in the shop), you might be tempted to just throw it away in your garbage can also (even though you shouldn’t) simply because you have no idea how to get it to a recycler. You are unlikely to change the big battery in your Tesla on your own, so that isn’t a problem.

Battery recycling is really just a logistics problem.

It is very likely that plays were performed by traveling minstrels who had knowledge based on Ancient Greek and Roman mythology, as those stories would've been known and passed down, such as portraying Alexander the Great, Odyssey, and the Trojan Wars.

I did LAN parties in the early '90s when a bunch of BBS nerds would show up at a local pizza joint cradling Mac LCs, IIsi's, and Powerbooks, bust out some PhoneNet connectors and play some intense Bolo [0] or Spaceward Ho [1] games. Later, Spectre [2], Marathon [3]

Maybe someone would demo some app they were working on in MPW or Think C, or demo a funny postage stamp-sized quicktime (new video format) of an exploding whale or dumb Dan Quayle quotes.

I'm a mechanical engineer, product designer and technical leader that has designed many products, some of which have been implanted in people and are in the Smithsonian, etc. I know screws can come out, that's why they make loctite.

What I'm saying to you is to make sure something is an actual problem before saying it is. In this case, the fact that the screws are used as self tapping, the screws themselves create the threads, likely combats this. Like a nylock nut.

This isn't what I would do for say, a surgical robotics system, but that's not what this is.

If given the choice of having the design as is, or making it more expensive, more difficult to assemble, and less accessible. I'd choose it as it is.

There are always tradeoffs. I believe the designer made the right ones here.

Before saying they didn't, maybe build one.
One of the secrets to NYC style pizza is flour that’s not only super high in gluten (14%+) but also bromated. All Trumps flour is commonly used since it’s so stretchy and manageable and creates great pizza dough. Of course the issue being that bromated flour may be a carcinogen and is banned in many countries.

If you’re making at home in a home oven my best tip is use diastatic malt powder in your dough. Use the highest glutton you can get and go for moisture of 70%. Pizza steel obviously. And cold ferment for at least 2 days.
Heating with gas doesn’t cost more to use (at least now), and doesn’t require the insulation either.

Thermal heat from gas is cheap, even when gas is expensive. Gas has a LOT of btus. Furnaces are also far simpler to make and maintain than heat pumps, which is why they are still so popular.

Boilers can go either way.
This is almost certainly incorrect, unless it’s using a very stretched definition of “hft” and using microseconds to mean 99th% <1ms instead of say <5us (reasonably competitive software range depending on your trade).

They might be forwarding non latency sensitive client/internal orders through a system written in erlang, or using erlang for an orchestration layer, but they’re not competing with other hft traders in one.

Anecdote about how badly ABS ages: I have a 30+ year old car and all the parts on it are fine EXCEPT everything made from ABS.

After this long inside a car (little UV exposure I'm guessing, but lots of heat exposure) the strength of 1 to 2 mm thick ABS is "empty egg shell" strength. Really really brittle.
Sorry if I'm not expressing myself well -- I was trying to draw a comparison between seatbelt laws (which, when introduced, were broadly griped about by drivers) and stronger licensing requirements (which, if introduced, will no doubt similarly be griped about).

I don't think there's a good (fair) way to devise a test for whether people will be risk seeking, in the same way that seatbelt laws can't stop scofflaws from not wearing their seatbelts. Instead, the purpose of these kinds of laws/regulations is to change the cultural "baseline" around safe behavior: wearing a seatbelt is the law, and most people do it by default now. Similarly, instituting a more intensive licensing regime (where people have to demonstrate not just driving ability but proficiency in safe driving) can change the cultural baseline around how drivers behave on our streets, our highways, etc.

In other words: let's keep licensing people, but make getting a drivers' license "intense" the way it is in much of Europe, rather than taking it for granted as a part of being an American adolescent. I think that can go a long way in terms of encouraging a more serious treatment of the responsibility that comes with driving, and which is currently lacking on American roads.

(And of course we should induce behavior away from driving to begin with, reconfigure our cities to favor pedestrians and cyclists, fund mass transit, etc.)
obviously not putting the carbon in the air in the first place is the best solution, and carbon removal has the real potential to take away electricity that could be used for other productive purposes.

but clean energy isn't entirely fungible, and if you've got a context where it's abundant then it can make sense to use it for carbon removal. we just need to be careful that the carbon removal projects are only getting built in places where the energy would otherwise be wasted.

> So the only question we need to ask is if it’s easier to cut emissions or sequester them.

I can think of another. How do we get everyone to do the answer to your question?

I think it’s fine to identify what’s most efficient in a political vacuum, so long as we then address how we actually convince people to do it (lower consumption & emissions).
Was the targeting of Twitter, FB, and YouTube hitting broadly across ideologies and groups?

Twitter files released tons of raw emails by gov agency staff with lists of profiles and it was pretty clear whom the executive/federal gov and Twitter's own staff had a hard on for.

Its possible it's merely a result of the current administration being in power and yes the risk to everyone is very apparent, but the people fighting the hardest against censorship vs those pushing hardcore social media moderation and top down wrongthink regulation has long had an obvious political divisions in America and here in Canada... For the past decade.

The UK and other EU countries is probably more "equally censor everything influential groups don't like" though so the divide is not universal.
While I agree about the thermodynamic argument -- you can't extract CO2 from the atmosphere without using significantly more energy than you released by burning fossil fuels -- there's an argument to be made that not all kWh are equal. If you can extract CO2 from the atmosphere close to the equator at noon on a sunny day, you're going to be able to do that pretty cheaply.

Making gasoline for cars from renewable energy isn't going to happen. The end to end efficiency of that process (Hydrolysis, CO2 capture, Fischer Tropf) would likely measure in the single digit percentages. Charging a car battery (especially from local solar) can be over 90% efficient.

When you include the very low tank to wheels efficiency of an ICE vehicle, the overall efficiency is even worse.

Your best bet is you want long term distribution is probably to try to get included in fdroid default repositories. Yes, this takes open source your app but it is probably good if you don't want to jump through Google's hoops.

Android is better than ever and as of Android 12, neostore (fdroid frontend) can finally update apps on its own.

> Of course, the assets in question are all crypto.

With the caveat that there is progress made towards bringing real world assets on-chain. Already, stable coins fall in this category – they're crypto assets which are backed 1:1 by real fiat currency. So you can trade them premissionlessly on-chain as with all crypto, but they can be redeemed by the issuer for real currency (like USD). One example of an issuer who is fully audited is Circle, they issue USDC across numerous blockchains.

It is also expected that other real world assets, such as government bonds (and their yield), will soon be brought on-chain. I believe the Maker protocol is spearheading the effort to bring US treasuries on-chain.
>> The short terse answers yielding very little substantive information

> Bill Bryson did one on the history of science which is well spoken of, but I haven't read it

Thanks! I will take a look. I am interested in learning more about the history of science and how people got past erroneous theories.

>> I think I have been quite clear
>Fraid not. What is your alternative to evolution, specifically? Please reply without using ad homs.

It's not about "my" alternative. Saying that something isn't scientific doesn't require me to come up with alternatives. For example someone could talk about spontaneous generation, and if I questioned it, coming up with a bunch of just-so stories about how spontaneous generation could be working, isn't doing science. It's just a narrative, same as Marxism or Freudian psychology etc.

If someone said "well what's YOUR alternative to Freudian analysis" that wouldn't require someone to come up with a whole other theoretical framework (e.g. behavioral psychology) in order to criticize Freud or Darwin or Marx etc.

> You pointed out that the cursorial hypothesis had problems, and you were right. You said nothing about the other 3 hypotheses.

All these just-so stories are problematic. The biggest problem is that they are just that -- stories. They are not testable. And if you debunk one, someone can just come up with 800 other ones.

It's a bit like the criticism people have of string theory not being testable. You could say "well, what's YOUR alternative to string theory?" But that is beside the point. Same with multiverse theory explaining fine-tuning etc.

And by the way, I don't see much difference between postulating a multiverse with no evidence, or theism, to explain fine-tuning. And similarly, if atheists believe we are living in a simulation, I don't see much difference between that and theism. In short, we just don't know, and most of these alternative theories seem to just reflect a psychological bias (e.g. towards an idea that we can explain everything using a small set of mechanisms that we have already discovered). It's similar to hidden variable theories favored by proponents of determinism, or interpretations of quantum mechanics that preserve causation or locality etc.

Scientists, for instance, are now increasingly finding evidence that the future might influence the past. Bem's psychological experiments were just the beginning (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4706048/). And now we have this: https://www.vice.com/en/article/epvgjm/a-growing-number-of-s...

In all these cases, you may have a preconceived notion (e.g. in Darwinism) that biases what you could believe was the case. And in Darwinism, your notion is that all speciation comes about through random mutation and natural selection, so in every case you comfort yourself with stories of how it could have happened.

Anyway, my whole point is that concocting just-so stories is not a valid scientific approach to figuring out how things work.

We're talking about ordinary people here. Their data is valuable to them because it's their pictures of their grandkids and their draft of the Great American Novel and their recipe collection. They're not backing it up themselves, they don't even know how.

But it's also their copy of all their bank statements that include their routing number, which nobody who is physically in their house is going to use against them but is a serious fraud risk if it can be accessed remotely on some cloud.

No, you very specifically wrote about "lawmakers" being the ones who are "trying to ban 3rd party cookies", not about Chrome.

"If that's true isn't topics just google's mechanism to continue the kind of tracking that *lawmakers* are trying to ban by banning 3rd party cookies?"

If you really didn't think you were talking about lawmakers but about big tech (seems like an odd mistake), you could at least have replied right away that you had no idea of why I was bringing laws up. Would have saved us both some time.
Ha, the controller-ports comment reminded me of a project I built that used the Atari's joystick port to sample audio. You could increase the A/D sampling rate of the joystick port to 8kHz, so with a simple transistor circuit you could plug an audio jack into something and sample it (with the program I typed in from whatever magazine it was, probably Antic).

Of course with only 32ish K available, you weren't sampling much. I think I probably still have the first one I captured: "White Horse" by Laid Back. Now there's a timestamp.

BTW, one of the drawings I converted from the Atari wound up in the documentation for a multi-million-dollar manufacturing system sold by Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) in the '90s.
