Reading this I wished for a lot more meat. It ties itself to the Palestine/Israel conflict pretty early on. It's largely a footnote but it makes its presence felt in a narrative that didn't need it.

But then it never really makes an effort to explain the how. Something about a shadow dragon master who was attempting to live a life away from its base impulse to do evil. Ok, but give me more on how D&D specifically set up challenging situations that in the end saved your life.

I understand this is just someone's blog but I was really hoping to read something meaty here. Instead I got some vague indications of the life-saving potential of D&D without clear explanation. The writer is also a GM, so they should know how to tell a story.
and the implied answer is that such a platform does not and would not exist.

I'm surprised he didn't mention lex Friedman or Joe rogan. The people I admire on YouTube still continue to resonate with me. If anyone is looking for 'leftist Jordan Peterson' I suggestion Gabor mate, he's a much more holistic and less authoritarian, and continues to inspire me.

This was one of my complaints in college. You're taught a ton of things from a position of authority, but you never get a full explanation of how those things were discovered of how you could prove them yourself.

I think it would be cool if we taught kids how things work along with how they can prove it for themselves. Currently the only field which encourages you to prove things for yourself is maths, and proofs aren't even given that much importance.

Even with softer topics like history, I think it should be essential to include context explaining how we know these things to be true. On what evidence are these beliefs based on? What is the level of epistemic uncertainty of the information we're being given?

And the platforms that were free and distributed, i.e. torrents became illegal. Youtube started with a ton of illegal stuff (and still contains tons of illegal stuff, but mostly in languages/regions that "don't matter").

Internet speeds are maturing, and maybe it is time to try again a self-hosted or distributed model. The hard part is to put ads in it, because ad-supported is traditionally the best medium for videos. However most video creators are already having sponsorship deals
Your can individually toggle pre- mid- and Post-Roll ads. Your can even set suggested spots within the video for the mid-roll ads, but that doesn't really control how many will actually be played.

This applies to videos with no copyrighted content. If you use any excerpts or music that someone else claims, anything might happen to your video regarding ads.
TFA is old enough that the "HTML5" here means "as opposed to Flash".
I mean you can literally plug a regular pair of headphones into a microphone port instead of a speaker port, then yell into them, and it'll record your voice.

But yes the Google buds are Bluetooth and use separate microphones to send recorded audio back to the device for voice calls, etc.
Simple, because most of the people wants to have the cake and eat it.
Unfortunately, in terms of Kubernetes this is written pretty clearly about what it’s doing and how it interacts with other parts.
Instead of thinking about tech stack think about the problem you want solved. Most devs think about tech stack first and so all they do is read from a database and struggle to put text on screen. Then once that climb that mountain their product looks identical to everything else and is limited to putting text on screen at considerably inflated expense.
They can still crash to the ground, but the main factor I care more about is not burning the working class along the way. All the higher class CEO firings tended to come with mass layoffs, if not the company shutting down. So the hard worker who was hoping for a promotion was not only denied but let go because of decisions beyond their control.

Something like a wage floor means that success benefits all workers who can then rise up there or in future ventures. And if it crashes the employees benefitted somewhat from the peak as opposed to today where even an inflation based raised isn't guaranteed. That can also be done with minimum wage laws, but this is a way to keep the hyper successful in check without necessarily impacting smaller business who can legitimately only offer the bare minimum.

The point wasn't that they're wrong, but instead that they are arbitrary. You could create a mathematical system with entirely different axioms than what we explore typically, and it would only be different in how usefully it maps onto real world concepts.
TFA agrees with you, and explains why experts can disappoint.
I read this and thought surely the center of gravity still has to pass over the bar. But right you are, the center of gravity can pass below the bar since it's just the average point of the mass. Cool!

The issue is that the content (format/pacing/etc.) is made to show ads which pretty much makes 'premium' a weird thing.
Just wanted to add two things: 1) the so-called mad cows disease is also caused by prions - that's why it is so scary, 2) cannibalism, or any other loop in the food chain, causes retention and amplification of such diseases in a population.
This is a very confused argument.

Historians know that they can't take written sources at face value. For them, Caesar's account of the Gallic Wars is just another piece of evidence, not a Definite Proof of Everything That Was.

Caesar is not considered an infallible authority, but that has no bearing on the general consensus that Gallic Wars actually took place.
I wonder whether not being a Hilbert space has any awkward implications for geometry. I guess we have to chuck out the Polarization identity, which probably has implications for parallelograms, though I'm not sure quite what. anyway, thanks for the rec!
I hope it does well. I always wonder how well these things work in practice rather than theory. In theory borrowing things should be cost effective.
Maybe worth pointing out that there are countless other weird Universes where "Pi" retains its standard value.

This is the domain of differential geometry where the relation of circumference and radius holds only in the limit of infinitesimally small.

By all accounts our own Universe is of such a deformed-in-the-large but Euclidean-in-the-small variety. At least for as far we understand geometry in the quantum realm.

Agreed. Bruce Schneier allocated a chapter in his last book, .A hacker's mind':

"Venture capital itself is not a hack. The hack is when unprofitable companies use VC funding to ignore the dynamics of the market economy. We don’t want some central planner to decide which businesses should remain operational and which should close down. But this is exactly what happens when venture capital firms become involved. The injection of VC money means that companies don’t need to compete with each other in the traditional manner, or worry about the normal laws of supply and demand. They can do what would normally be crazy things—give away their products, pay extravagant salaries, sustain enormous financial losses, provide a service that actually harms people—because of that external funding source. It’s basically central planning by elite investors, something that would be called communism if the government did it."

OkCupid was full of weirdos, though. Source: I was one of them.

Tinder hit on to a psychological hack that allowed normal people to use it. It's something to do with plausible deniability. Setting up a real dating profile signals that you know what you want but implies that you are lonely/unhappy. Tinder gives that vibe of "I'm just swiping, look at all these losers, I'm just having fun". So normies went on it too.
Arguably having a more efficient video codec lowers the financial burden on those types of sites, tough probably not enough. Going a bit further, I'm also not just thinking of content aggregation "tube" sites but such advances could allow content creators to self host video in their own websites, just like we do with images on a blog post for the last 25 years. But of curse, hosting your own site is a bit out of fashion nowadays :(
> Reviewers have been pretty questionable of late with a few obvious gaffes, but Starfield was the last straw for me. A wall on 10s for reviews, but the game is a clear 6, maybe 7 on a good day.

Pretty much all reviewers I follow were giving Starfield reviews explicitly mentioning how boring it is how it feels obsolete for 2023.

So which "reviewers" are you quoting and why aren't you reading the ones that match your taste in games?

And how the heck are random people in the internet more trustable to you, there's thousands of people that lost their shit because Starfield didn't get perfect 10/10 scores.

There's nothing organic about Eric Weinstein or Lex Fridman.

Do we know how this was done before? Let’s say you are a hit broadcast network, and you have these new hit shows called Friends and Family Matters. What’s your plan as a broadcast company now?

Should the TV company organically wait to see what kind of TV shows audiences want to see? Or should they create 10 shows that copy Friends and Family Matters, each targeting a different demo (you know, like black people, or women).

So, if you want to build a loose network of content creators, with your fulcrum being like a Rogan for the general demographic, with a contrived character like a Friedman being the “nerd”. So the loop here is you cast a wide net with Rogan, then niche them down to your Jocko’s, Friedman’s, etc.

Rogan doesn’t disclose when he does Ad drops anymore either. So he’s a really bad actor at this point.

Like yeah Joe, you just talked about McDonalds for 10 minutes for free again on an episode with 10 million listeners huh? Oh, talking about the latest movie in theaters again? As if that’s not a 5 minute ‘hey McDonald’s, we can leave this 7 minutes in about how your Coca Cola tastes better than regular Coca Cola, or we can just edit it out. I’m sorry? Did we say edit out? What we meant was, how about like 30 million for 6 month campaign? No? Okay, see ya. No, we never recorded anything about McDonald’s soda tasting better.

Putting humans on the moon in the first place was mostly just grandstanding. Manned space exploration in general is mostly just entertainment.

Indeed, and I believe refusing to acknowledge that fact is actively harming not just spaceflight but manned spaceflight. We're spending tens of billions of dollars trying to set up for some bullshit useless moon base when we could be setting boots on Mars just to prove we can. If we're gonna waste money let's waste it pushing the boundaries.

You can have both a hypermedia API and a data (JSON) API. Your hypermedia API is a lot more lightweight and flexible as it's tied to your web app. The HTMX authors talk about that topic in their book: https://hypermedia.systems/json-data-apis/

"These two different types of APIs have different strengths and needs, so it makes sense to use both. The hypermedia approach can be used for your web application, allowing you to specialize the API for the “shape” of your application. The Data API approach can be used for other, non-hypermedia clients like mobile, integration partners, etc.

Note that by splitting these two APIs apart, you reduce the pressure to constantly change a general Data API to address application needs. Your Data API can focus on remaining stable and reliable, rather than requiring a new version with every added feature."

This is apt, you tend to read books and the first read is great, subsequent release ends up being the same context as previous book but without substance. The best is probably being able to self reflect and think for yourself, being mindful of your thoughts, thought process and things that affects it.

> This was one of my complaints in college. You're taught a ton of things from a position of authority, but you never get a full explanation of how those things were discovered of how you could prove them yourself.

Could you give some example of what would you like to prove, from your college curriculum?
This is exactly why the appeal to authority is such a useful heuristic: when it comes to physics, I trust the man who teaches the engineers that car companies employ to make cars - because I can see cars work every day, so at the end of the chain there must exist a person who has fundamental insights about how the world works.

So while I can't prove something is right by appeal to authority, it's a very practical way for me to swift though the unbounded mass of claims and information that I couldn't possibly verify or prove in my lifetime, not even to a 19th century level of scientific knowledge.

For example, I saw an onion cell once at a school microscope, but I have never seen a bacteria. So as far as I can independently prove, I live in times before the germ theory of disease - but that doesn't mean I shouldn't trust my doctor when he recommends vaccines and antibiotics. The entire antivaxx movement is just an attempt to challenge the medical authority by people who are not intellectually equipped to verify the scientific claims.

Those two are pretty big as far as specific examples go, definitely worth writing about
What is most off here is the analysis. The idea is that either someone is totally right about everything they assert because of extreme caution and care, or they are terribly wrong and flawed in a way that makes all of their ideas poison. But most intellectuals are in between there in a way this piece almost describes.

Take this specific example of Peter Zeihan. He dares to get out of his areas of expertise and gets somethings wrong and some things very wrong. But much of his core analysis is extremely relevant and useful. He tends to start from population demographics and the raw material sources of industrial supply chains. There is a lot of interesting stuff there and much of what Peter Zeihan points out is quite right and well ahead of the curve. For example, he was talking about Chinese demographic shrinkage well before it started to make major economic and political impacts.

So the idea here is that because Peter Zeihan tries to go as far as he can with what he has and ends up in the weeds much of the time that all of his work can be dismissed as foolish wandering about in the weeds. But that is false. The core issues of demographics and industrial supply chain roots remain and have very large impacts that are not particularly well hidden from careful examination. This implies that the real challenge is not deciding if a public intellectual is truly great or disgracefully fallen, but rather defining which points they make are solid and where it is that their reasoning falls off.

I came across whole episodes of British TV on there this very week that were uploaded 12 years ago. I know they have a strict "no humans involved, ever" system going, but the programme name was in the title and the video was one of those ones inset into a fake background and the audio was original. I find it amazing that no one (or rather nothing) with a ban button has noticed that for so long.

If they actually cared even a microgram and they couldn't even get an intern to do a days' work searching for TV show titles, there'd be enough failed Reddit moderators out there who they could recruit who would gleefully do the job for free. Not that I would want them to - it's bad enough when only bring reactive to often-spurious complaints - but it's such a completely perfect lack of interest that it must be very deliberate.
Interesting, so it seems micropython 1.9.4 targets Python 3.4. Not that one'd use the calculator for any common Python development, but it's a shame since most Python libraries target at least Python 3.6.
