MAD is a scenario, not the only or most likely. There are a million and one scenarios where you have some kind of nuclear conflict and it stays regional. And actually this part is a massive problem for the US since we don’t have a viable tactical nuclear arsenal.

Our strategic options are limited and the US wouldn’t be able to respond tit-for-tat if, say, the Russians started using smaller weapons in a battlefield situation, our only option is to either do nothing, or level a city and escalate the conflict.

I rarely see a good independent blog.

Honestly the barrier to entry for a blog is very low and the benefit isn’t very high unless you spam it with ads, so who is exactly taking the time to make a blog?

Depends on what Mac you get, but 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD with support for four 4k displays is pretty easy with the current MacBook Pro. It might be more expensive than your garden variety Windows laptop, or maybe not if you find one of the great deals that are frequently offered by B&H Photo or Adorama.

No spy software will be installed, and the latest version of macOS is making it harder and harder for people to create malware that can easily infect Macs.
I would say it’s more rational than crypto as the tech companies investors and commercial real estate investors have a significant degree of overlap. Crypto was little more than digital tulip mania.
Maybe, but there was also bipartisan legislation to crush the rail strike, simultaneous dismantling of pandemic protections on the state and national levels, the removal of the child tax credit, and so on and so forth.
It does not improve the "look" since now everything looks like an image and I accidentally navigate to a bunch of lame websites.

I think it's possible that we shouldn't be patient with some ideas.

Eg. American political discourse has gone so crazy that people can openly support fascism and it's acceptable. I don't think it ought to be.
I don't think it's really a matter of having more people working on this stuff. For everyone who craves better ergonomics for the "easy" stuff, there's someone who demands ever more advanced features. It's not possible to keep both camps happy, even when there's immense financial investment. This is exactly my experience doing this work for ~5 years.
But that’s the point. You get a bunch of competing opinions in one spot and writing a reddit comment doesn’t require maintaining a blog so you get a greater diversity of opinions.
I think most university students are not actually interested in research. They are interested in computing, and they do find some of the experimental nature in the field interesting, but I think (and this exposes my personal bias) most people are more interested in telling a computer to do something than understanding how to make it do it efficiently.

I think folks get degrees in CS because university degrees are a path to a decent salary, and it’s a subject they like.
It seems that only me commenting this thread knows LWT. A really cool program for learning every kind of languages... with lots of resources if configured properly.
It is a package for setting a Localhost server and feed with whatever texts will want from, e.g. Latin, Greek, German, Hebrew, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Japanese, Chinese, you name it!
It has lots of resources like exporting to anki flashcards, controlling your learning pace, converting to html format, etc... etc...

https://sourceforge.net/projects/learning-with-texts/

Apart from that, there are a few good tutos on the internet about how to use it. But, the official documentation on the website is just enough...
I wish the owner would open-source it. But, even though it is an amazing free program...

Another program (in reality, a Lisp machine I use to learn Languages is the might Emacs). It has org mode and you can also use bash scripts, GNU/Linux commands for learning and manipulating stuff, including languages, all inside the beast, and so on, and so forth...
(neo)vim are also good friends for learning languages and not just programming...

Hey, maybe the next time an illegal war gets started, the president _will_ get indicted. And the war crimes of the US Army might get prosecuted too.

But acts as commander in chief relate to job functions of the presidency. Acts as a businessman or candidate do not. There's rather a difference there.
Depends on which model you get and how you configure it. You can easily get up to 96GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD, if that's what you really want. It's damn bloody expensive to do that, but the possibility is there.

So, you can't legitimately say that the memory is always low and the disk is always small. That's just a configuration thing. If you don't configure it right, then I don't hold out much sympathy for you.
Once it lifts above the water there's no lateral resistance, so it's not going to make way abeam or beating, just downwind. Having said all that, I think WIG is a factor in the CFD sims of Sailrocket 2, just not anything like the primary lifting force.
Yes the nomenclature is a bit confusing but I believe toit is the SDK/platform/firmware(?), toitlang is the language, and jaguar is the CLI tool used to bundle/deploy it all onto a device.

As far as I can tell, the combination of all three of the above is the equivalent to tasmota + tasmotizer + berry?

I guess what I am asking for is how does developing on the ESP32 when using toitlang + toit SDK compare to issuing commands against Tasmota using berry?
In the past year the difference between the low and the high for Bitcoin was about 100%, i.e. if you bought at the low and sold at the high your $50 turned into $100 and if you did the opposite your $50 turned into $25. This is the variation over the last year, not the last day, and only if you picked the worst (or best) to days to transact. In the past seven days the net change was <1%. This is more variation than US dollars have but it's not unreasonable when you're only holding small amounts -- as you would when using it as a currency.

You use it as a currency because you can't email someone dollar bills and digital payment processors charge higher fees. Because you want to buy something that isn't tied to your name, or don't want everything you buy tied to your name. Because you want to write a piece of code that lets people buy and sell directly without relying on a mercurial third party that can steal anyone's money or close their account without recourse. And if you want to, to pay your phone bill.

> You’ve just made speculation small scale and complicated.

Actually buying investment securities with a $50 cryptocurrency gain was a joke. You could do it in theory but what you're really going to do is not buy anymore Bitcoin until you've spent the $100 worth instead of buying $50 more after you'd spent the original $50. The point is that the volatility generally evens out. It doesn't really matter if you replenish your Bitcoin wallet after 5 days one time and 10 days another if it averages out.

Moreover, the more people use it, the less volatile the price is. It's understandable that people don't immediately use this to buy groceries, but if they use it to buy digital subscriptions or build distributed systems or what have you, the more people use it for those things the less volatility there is. And then at some point people may start using it to buy groceries.

>I eat well (at home and at restaurants), I travel, I have great technology / toys. And at 44 I have a 7 figure net worth.

You clearly don't have kids. and/or a spouse that depends on your income. The former drains your money very quickly, especially if you need services like daycare (if your spouse isn't a full time parent... so we're back to one income to support a family of 3+) or perhaps invest in private school. I wouldn't call either of those "overspending" depending on the area. And nowadays you may need to invest in a 529 for that kid's college...

It's already hard raising a kid badly. Raising one well is expensive.

>A $500K house with 20% down

how are you saving 100k on a 100k salary, on top of other savings for rainy days? do you just save for 5-10 years by throwing 20% into a savings account, on top of rent/utilities and other stuff?

Even then, the hard part is getting approved for the sale. The market right now is just absurd. Even if you can comfortably pay mortgage you may be outbid by some family or other person who simply buys the house in cash. You really can't keep up.

So you're saying that P(A) is almost independent of B, as in

P( A ) ≈ P( A | B ) ≈ P( A | ¬B )

?

I suppose my argument is that if someone is using priors that are either a hard 1 or a hard 0, they've removed themselves from the ability to use Bayesian logic at all in any situation where data points in the opposite direction of their priors.

While you can still call it "Bayesian" if you insert a prior of 0, I think such an argument is a direct contradiction of the purpose of using Bayesian logic.

In other words, I would argue that P( ¬A | B ) ≈ 0. Refusual to admit a prior greater than a hard 0 is not compatible with Bayesian logic. Prior probabilities of exactly 0 should be seens as outside of the valid domain within Bayesian logic under most circustances.
I am also 46 and can not do much of anything physical with my hands anymore, such as sand, paint, use a screwdriver, etc. Years ago I switched to an ergonomic keyboard (Kinesis Advantage 2) and a vertical mouse. Neither bother me at all, I can type and use the mouse just fine all day. Unsure if the two are related. Does the pain I feel from sanding indicate I'd feel similar pain with a non ergonomic setup? Not sure. But I am glad I made the switch, just in case.
> It is a poorly and erratically manufactured product done in inconsistent environments. As we learn more about our bodies, we will regularly discover things that should be fixed or optimized.

This is a poor model for understanding the human body.

The body is a massively high dimensional chemical and physical system where there is no objective function that will maximize performance in all possible environments. Every new environment will have new challenges and a new objective function to maximize. The common denominator that reflects our last global optimum is our genetics and epigenetics, which has some randomness but is not at all erratic.

Most bodily processes are some kind of trade-off. You can have faster metabolism but you will age quicker. You can have a strong type I immune defense against infection but you will be more prone to autoimmunity. You can have greater anabolism and become stronger but that will compete with catabolic pathways and increase the risk of cancer. Nothing is free.

Medication is the same way. For people with a moderate or serious condition, any downsides are worth it, but there are always side effects. No bodily system exists in isolation.
That was a fun read. Do you think you'd have figured it out without a debugger on the target?
I don't have much to say, because I am at a loss for words. I like to think of myself as an "out of the box" thinker, but if someone had asked me if this was possible before reading this, I would have said it isn't.

It can be meaningful but it depends on how they've been using that time. If they stayed at one company working on one project on a specific feature for 40 years straight, they may be a world class grandmaster in a very specific area which is only relevant for like 5% of all projects but have narrow experience and be incapable of providing advice on most coding topics that affect 95% of projects.
Yeah but we need to be carefully about separating toxic addictive patterns from just plain ol’ effective ones. Think about the classical newspaper format: they present many partial stories on the front page, hoping to catch your eye with one you care about. Social media still needs to be effective media, IMO

> I don't even know why I'd live in Toronto, it's just become a bad deal now. Doesn't matter who you are.

For a lot of Canadians/Torontonians (everyone I know), family and friend bonds keep them there.

Canada is not an easy country to hop around. The next metropolitan city over is an expensive flight, and heaven forbid one of those sides includes Pearson Airport.. Canadians are culturally less flighty than Americans in my experience. And the options to move to are quite limited (again, in comparison to the USA)

Future revenues are discounted to present value using a discount rate that increases as interest rates increase. This is called a discount cash flow model. Initiatively this makes sense because if a future dollar was the same as a today dollar you could just invest today's dollars in treasuries and have more in the future.
Inflation as long as it’s predictable doesn’t really matter, since the future cash flows just get bigger with more inflation. However real interest rates do affect the discount rate; higher interest rates relative to inflation discourage investment since you could just put the money in a bank instead of taking risk. That means inflation does have an effect, since higher inflation is historically more volatile which raises risk thus real interest rates. That’s all assuming a free market without government price fixing interest rates.
Yeah, this is what I was referencing

It sounds like you are putting too much pressure on yourself. You don’t have to write everything down. Just writing something, anything at all, no matter what it is, is great. That’s something to be proud of.

I find it very helpful to slow down, breathe, and regain connection to my body.

And you can stop whenever you want. Journaling is something you do for yourself — it shouldn’t feel like a chore.

I’m going to echo here what Roguelazer has already mentioned and add to it the business benefit: you will eventually not want people only making $1 payments.

A $10 account credit is probably the minimum you should consider in today’s environment. That’s plenty, and it’s not too much for low usage accounts.
Two sail planes on a tether should be able to do it. How the pilots are going to get good at it without getting killed is probably a bigger problem than constructing it.

Most of it is completely unneeded, to be honest.

The chances of another 9/11 happening are basically zero because of two factors: 1) better cockpit security, and 2) 9/11 happening.

Before 9/11, a hijacking meant you were going to be late for dinner. If everyone cooperated, it would basically just be an inconvenience. Since 9/11, a hijacking means you are going to die. Turns out near-certain death is quite a good motivator for getting people to fight hijackers.

Similarly, before 9/11 cockpit access was pretty lax. You weren't supposed to have other people in the cockpit, but it happened all the time. The door was there more to stop people from wandering in than keeping anyone out. Since 9/11 that door stays shut with very few exceptions - and it is now strong enough that breaking through the door is practically impossible. A pilot is never willingly going to open that door to a hijacker - see the "near-certain death" above.

This would still apply even without any passenger screening at the airport. You can't really do anything once you get on board the airplane, so why even bother bringing anything on board?

Maybe those traits you give the Canadian populace are there for some reasons you have yet to learn about.

Anyway, no population in this world have ever changed any of their traits because some random douche said they should, quite the contrary.
It lists its features there - I think the minimalism is part of the point :). AFAICT it’s a microblogging platform that ties the concept of a “hot” post to a pretty little flower that grows bigger as people contribute. I don’t see support for forum stuff so I think it’s just that, with a friends list.

In my professional opinion, I think it’s cute. If I had the social energy to send a ton of “hey download this app!” texts, it could be a good way to stimulate some conversation
> How is it like insurance?

It pays until you die instead of paying until you run out of savings. The risk it's insuring against is that you live longer than the average person and outlive your savings.

The private insurance companies that offer this type of insurance call it an annuity.

> Also, I think because people feel an existential threat - some people rely on that money to survive.

Nah, the more sensible of the reform proposals are the ones that convert it into a fixed payment for everyone. Those proposals are still every hard to pass because some people would get more than they do now and some would get less, and the people who would get less are the more affluent people with no existential risk, but they would still fight it.

> And because, after seeing that deduction every two weeks for their entire lives, they want their payout.

The program started by making payouts to people who never paid in. Their money is already gone, given to their own parents.
I don’t know much here either way but I can’t help but wonder if they’re not missing some nuance on the meaning of new permits. I would like to see it as new units constructed.

>Why on earth would a single person buy a 490k house?

I'm in California, so that's pretty much the bare minimum. Maybe if I go way out to the high desert area (we're talking 70+ miles from downtown LA), I see more 300-400k houses for 2 bed/bath. In my area (which is still pretty far from Downtown) it's 600k minimum.
Mitigations can have very large effects on system stability, I ran into this with my old Haswell system. Mitigations on allowed, I believe, 100Mhz higher at lower voltage - but it may have been 200Mhz. These settings were tested over many months, completely stable, and mitigations off with the same setting wouldn't even allow booting. Huge effect relative to anything else, basically like adding an extra 0.1V vcore.
Only if you choose to use it like that. I commit every minor detail in Fossil, even little things like "added TODO comment".

Why do you say that? What is "effective" media?
Isn't that more like a VNC type thing where the server renders the bitmaps and sends them to the client?

That's not really the same as a native Android app or a Javascript web app or a ios app being able to share the same libraries while having bespoke UIs. If anything X encourages the use of the same UI across different devices, which is the opposite of the way real users ended up using apps (with different interfaces for desktop, tablet, mobile, and watch).
