When I was a kid I liked to muse about relationships like these. Since I was a kid I imagined that there might have been a god that created the universe, and imagined that they were a bored kid like me perhaps making it as a school assignment.

So what if the god had turned the pi or e knobs to a rational number (presumably in a god’s universe knobs can be turned to precise irrational values). Would it have made our lives easier or harder (probably easier…?). Or what about the apparent size of earth/moon/sun when viewed from earth? It’s a great clue, but perhaps we would have known more about astronomy if that coincidence had not existed? (We would have missed out on that fabulous Connie Willis story though).

Maybe all those weird cosmological QM oddities and (literally obscure) imbalances needing mysterious dark matter are just due to bugs in a kid’s rushed assignment and actually don’t make sense?

But the irrationals…they led to the most musing.
> Truman’s demand for Japan’s unconditional surrender to end the war was indefensible.

I don't think that Japan deserved any sort of mercy after what they did in the 30's and 40's to China and the surrounding area, not to mention provoking war with the United States.

Thank you - I've edited the title to reflect this.
Given the radical changes that a carbon neutral and eco-friendly modern civilisation would require, reducing that to technical problems in each field is really not helpful. By and large we know how a sustainable society could work, we are simply unable to implement it at the right scale. I wouldn't call that "solved".
There's no reason to get so one sided about this subject and no reason to attack each other over it.

Some people are going to accept modular replacement parts and others will advocate for repairing the part.

Apple's approach and the approach of Louis Rossman are completely different and both have their own merits.

Like I mentioned in another comment this Right to Repair article is marketing from Apple and doesn't warrant any name calling and disapproving language being thrown back and forth.
Civilians did not do that
Video games are slapped together because deadlines must be hit. The most popular titles can cost >$100 million to produce so there is huge pressure to get it out the door. Customers expect cutting edge graphics which contributes to production budget bloat (so does marketing). A lot of PC games are console first and ported over. The new console generation (PS5) means more VRAM is available so games expand to fill it. Just like how Blu-ray was a large increase over DVD capacity. Later 50GB was a ceiling commonly bumped up against. Once 50GB was exceeded why not have a 100GB install size since you’ve blown past the Blu-ray limit anyway?
They’re getting hit on both ends of the broadband market. Nobody who cares about speeds and feeds is going with Comcast if fiber is available. And an increasing number of those who don’t care about speeds and feeds are dropping home internet completely and just relying on mobile.

I’m so fed up with doctors it’s not even funny.

I’ve had positive test showing nerve damage. Doctor messages me saying all my tests were fine. I message them in the portal pointing out one of tests showing insufficient sweating means small fiber neuropathy. They confirm I am correct. Then, I have to tell them what meds to prescribe, that the dosage is too small. It was like pulling nails.

I have seen physicians at top facilities in the US. Some are better some are there for prestige and paycheck.

We need to collect symptoms using words and visual representation, not everyone will know what tingling feels like. I welcome AI.

Also, if you search an illness and look for support groups you will quickly find handful of “recommended” physicians in a country.

The whole of the puzzles of cosmology actually all might be obvious if we had a few different fundamental theorems. But because we hit on some that almost work, and then build upon them a hole edifice of mathematics that is internally consistent and almost fits the universe we keep beating on it, not realizing that backing up a little and then driving forward again at a slightly different angle might yield a simpler, and even more consistent and explanatory system.
I'm thankful that this fun read was NOT a YouTube video - this way I don't have to sit through ads!
If you're swapping a dwpd.
This isn't like Netflix where a cheaper, inferior plan was introduced. They're taking the current ad-free service introducing ads to it.

You're going to have to pay an additional $3/mo for no ads along with your existing $15/mo (Prime), $139/yr (Prime) or $8.99 (Prime Video only) plans.

This doesn't look like subsidizing to me. To me it looks more like "pay us more because we can do whatever we want".

Here[1] is a detailed, thoughtful article demonstrating specifically that many outlets — including the NYT — make extremely significant errors increasingly often, using a recent major mistake as an example.

And not only do they generally not publish retractions, but nobody reads retractions. Willingly erring in specific, predictable ways repeatedly and then occasionally issuing retractions is a great way to manipulate the perception of readers, which is one of their goals.

Almost everything they write is fiction: they only report facts in the approximate area of the truth that support their preferred frame. This combination of omission and slight of hand is enough to craft stories that are, in the final analysis, completely false.

You call it a war, I'm not sure YouTube thinks of it that way.

YouTube revenue was 29.2 billion dollars in 2022. On the other side you have a couple guys complaining about Reddit users.

Sure, a few tech-savy folk install ad-blockers, and Google keeps the space dynamic enough to avoid it getting serious traction. But it's less a "war" and more of a minor irritation.

Winning isn't making ad-blocking go away, winning is 29.2 billion $. The entitled user base will do the rest.
That's a good way of describing it. Another issue is they've locked a whole lot of useful (practically required these days) features behind requiring an enterprise account - the trouble is that "enterprise" isn't just paying a whole lot more (if only). Enterprise involves getting involved in Salesforce style opaque fixed priced annual paid upfront contracts etc. It's just not a cloud provider any more at that point - you know the whole elastic thing the cloud was supposed to do.
A fabricated re-telling of the past, given that we didn't start using GPUs for this type of compute until the turn of the millenium.
There is a great video from Level 1 Techs where he explains why he started making KVMs and why it is an extremely hard problem. (Edit: I can't seem to find the video now, it might have been on another channel, but I'll keep looking)

The TLDR is that manufactures don't follow specs as closely as you'd think, and as a KVM you have to handle the bugs of thousands of different manufactures for both upstream and downstream devices.
Since 2018-2019, many of the really big Kubernetes users ditched Ingress for custom controllers and CRDs that allowed for more flexible configuration.
This is completely false, there is a 'why' and it's that people needed to permit taking square roots of negative numbers to find (real!) roots of cubic polynomials. I don't think this book needs to digress into that, sure.

> We find no evidence that anyone within the Truman administration undertook a formal legal analysis of the attack options in 1945.

I mean… they’d already firebombed a lot of cities to similar effect. Japanese and German. We may wish they’d considered the morality or legality more thoughtfully in all cases, but it’s not an aberration that they went with “meh, kill them all” in the case of the A-bombs. The tool was (notably! Especially in hindsight) different, but the effect was similar to what they’d achieved in prior cases.
The big one with the N100 is it either comes from random sellers on AliExpress, or you get something like the ASRock ITX motherboard with one on. Those motherboards alone cost the same price as an eBay system with an 6500t.

If the goal is to go with something familiar, which is why this thread was even considering the N100, then going with a system from a known supplier might be even better.

The power might not be such an issue -- while the 6500t is a 35w part, it idles quite low, it would really depend on the system it is in; I wonder how different the power draw at idle would be.
There is a thing that we all by convention understand: additional compensation. It is frequently tied to performance. Once given and cleared into a bank account it cannot be taken back.

We call this a bonus.

A loan, which must be paid back might be called a squirrel on mars but here on earth we don’t call it a bonus.

A “benefit”? Maybe. Health insurance may retroactively renege on their promised coverage. 401ks are frequently embezzled. When these things happen it’s usually a pitiful, or illegal act worthy of derision. Like a predatory loan.

You know what, I don’t think this is a benefit either. Let’s just call it a squirrel.

The article argued that the bomb dropped on Hiroshima isn't really a military necessity.

NextJS again!

I keep changing my mind. Part of me wants to use old school tech. But I do like the DX of Next.

NextJS tends to make sites that need JS on the front end. And probably bigger bundles than an old school MVC job. I will take that hit though for some of the positives of working in React and productivity and modernness and community of great work around React.
Great work, still feels impossible to program though! ;)

Alan Wake is a great game but I consider Alan Wake 2 to be much better, but I also enjoyed Control more than Alan Wake and enjoyed all aspects of Quantum Break. Where you fall on those games will probably most affect how much you enjoy Remedy's latest.

How much you enjoy unorthodox multimedia narrative story telling, psychological and cosmic horror meta-narrative weirdness, how much you accept being confused from design jankiness in certain spots as part of the experience, stuff like that will decide how much you enjoy this game. Personally, its only real flaw is mystery solving can be a little too handholdy and bruteforce-able.
> I'm also pretty surprised that people think email metadata from government is legitimate open data. Do you think it should be public how many times you have emailed government and gotten a response, and to which departments? I don't.

In Sweden, when you contact the government by web form or mail, they warn you that every communication is by law part of the public record (metadata and contents), and you should not include anything sensitive that you do not want divulged.

>men and women lie differently. Men are more likely to say they got no matches on a dating site and complain whereas women are more likely to keep quiet of they get few to no matches and exaggerate the number they do get.

There's no Tinder-specific data, but it's been very well reported that the rate of matches between men and women on older dating sites was drastic, at least 1:2. So I don't think it's really a "lie" when men say they get no dates. I'm sure with the Tinder age that gap has only widened.

You also need to keep in mind that people complain in different places. You're likely not going to find a woman complaining about lack of matches on Hacker News, for example.

>Maybe ratios of unsuccessful attempts are roughly evenly distributed and the difference can be explained solely by the fact that men must ask and make the first move in most cultures whereas women don't have to.

It's possible, but I hear this is even a problem on sites where the woman is expected to make the first move. There's just some element of pickiness men lack compared to women. Be it due to quantity of choice or the bar to meet or whatnot.
The text repeats it a lot. Maybe more than it should. Also GatewayClasses. It’s nitpicky, but I’m trying to understand OP’s comment.
I am not talking about self-reported preferences but the statistical analysis of the observable experiences men and women have on dating apps. I find the former to not be consistent with the latter, and I find the latter more trustworthy.

I have learned a lot about this in the zoo with my daughter. Adults become extremely uncomfortable when the children find the human-like behavior of apes funny. Adults just want to go away. To me it seems that our animal nature is too much for most people to psychologically accept.

That is why I completely avoid that evo-psych discussion in general and here in particular. Dating app popularity can be easily observed and we don't need to go into that discussion at all.

metaphysics
/ˌmɛtəˈfɪzɪks/
noun
the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.

First principles? Like logical/mathematical axioms? Sprinkle abstraction. Identity? f(x) = x ?

Time? Space? Spacetime? Minkowsky space?

On a fuzzy-match that sounds ludicrously similar to the sort of stuff the formal sciences concern themselves with. Almost as if the distinction between science and philosophy is non-existence given the demarcation problem.

They did. They ran at a huge deficit for a very long time while expanding.

But this seems to be the play book for all VC funded web apps. Facebook and MySpace did the same. In fact, you can argue that moving towards profitability too soon and too fast is what killed MySpace. But that argument only works if you are willing to see the growth phase as something other than predatory pricing.

I think your comment is a sobering input to the whole startup discussion.

Light sabers are magic[1], Mr. Underseacables. As the GM notes, "It's magic. I ain't gotta explain s#!t."

[1] Inconsistent magic, at that. The greatest concentration of energy for a light saber in the films is Queer God Gym penetrating approximately 1m thickness of, let's say iron, at a rate somewhere around a meter a minute. If the cutting element is indeed using temperature to do this, it's flash-broiling everything in a sixty meter radius. On the other hand, you have the piss-poor penetration of Kylo's original red saber, which doesn't penetrate more than a few inches into wood or flesh. Screw it. Lightsabers are fun.

Develop interests of your own and go beyond public intellectuals. Don't let all your information get recommended to you, only some of it. Reach out for the rest yourself. Books are very efficient at conveying information, so read some to get a lay of the land before going deep.

Also, consider that there is more to know than you have time to learn, so be selective. Are you going to act on it? Is it going to give you pleasure?

The nuclear bombs are entirely orthogobal to the bombing of H & N.

What many seem to have forgotten is that H&N were cities already on a kill list.

Prior to the atomic bombs being dropped the US had already carpet bombed 72 other cities, including Tokyo, and they had a list of future targets to destroy.

H&N were picked off that list as they were essentially untouched at that point and were "clean ground" to test the field use of two different bomb designs after the "lab test" at Trinity.

The argument is whether a policy of total warfare | destruction was neccesary, the carpet bombing of cities to date was much more cost effective (at that point in the war) than the use of limited extremely expensive atomic weapons.

The neccessity to use bombs developed to counter possible German atomic weapons on a rapidly dwindling Japan now that Germany had been defeated was a kind of military necessity .. the window for live field testing was rapidly closing given the approach of Russians from the north and relative lack of untouched targets.

That aside, the bald unpleasant fact of the time is simple; had H&N not been atom bombed they would have been firebombed .. with very similar levels of death and follow on disease.
