I’m not sure I understand why you think this would take 10’s of thousands of years to yield benefit. The most important benefit is shielding the planet surface from solar radiation and cosmic rays. This would be immediately beneficial to anyone living on the surface and would be essential in any terraforming effort of any duration, long or short. There are proposals that terraform mars in the span of a few generations (orbital solar powered large lasers evaporating the iron oxide and melting the ice for instance). But even without terraforming making the surface less hostile has immediate benefits.
That's two separate rides, not two people doing the same ride. At least as I understand it. "Riding together" implies to me some kind of interaction, such as drafting or conversation.
I wasn't able to block the obnoxious anime girl on the right side with ublock. I've never had that before. Does anyone know how to find a way around that?

Twitter pissed off their advertisers by pulling back content moderation. That is their biggest problem in terms of cash flow.
This is linear algebra for undergraduate math majors, but if you just want an basic understanding of the topic with a focus on computational applications, Poole's "Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction" is probably more suitable as it's heavy on applications, such as Markov chains, error-correcting codes, spatiel orientation in robotics, GPS calculations, etc.

Bread is a great invention and a staple for many across the world. People have grown better at the process of developing grass into ever more productive wheat crops, transforming the inedible into something people find comfort in. But yes, there’s also an element of bread and circuses. Technology is not enough. It is not orthogonal to happiness, as you point out, but having the best bread doesn’t fundamentally make the course of humanity better. That begins and ends with what we individually and collectively choose: technology merely enhances our will.

> Boomers have quite simply been the biggest beneficiary of a “massive wealth transfer,” wrote the BofA team led by Ohsung Kwon, echoing Dalio’s observation that trillions of wealth flowed from the public to the private sector thanks to government policy since the 1980s, when boomers were in their prime working years.

The article doesn’t say what these policies were.
How does a company not make any money for 20 years that sounds insane
I'm not sure that Axler's book is great as a first LA book. I would go with something more traditional like Strang.

Although I really didn't feel like I "got" LA until I learned algebra (via Artin). By itself LA feels very "cookbook-y", like just a random set of unrelated things. Whereas in the context of algebra it really makes a lot more sense.
> This "runaway" feedback loop is one of the main reasons why global warming should be avoided, in my opinion.

The Earth has had a 4,000-7,000 ppm CO2 concentration in the atmosphere before and it hasn't led to Venusification. We've only gone from ~250 to ~420 ppm so far, so we're a long way off, and hopefully we'll stop before we dump another 20+ "industrial revolution units" of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Of course long before then we melt Antarctica and the Earth's climate looks a lot different, but it won't be Venus.
but existence influences choices

so technological progress in itself, regardless of its use, is a consideration
> the problems I described happen everytime anyone without vision, charisma, passion, technical skills, and willpower is put in charge. So why the focus on product managers? It’s because of this tendency to wanting people with a product manager title in charge of software product development.

That a Product Manager may seem "in charge," of development is incidental to the role, and not the purpose of it. The role exists to discover features and scale them to customer demand. Managing means "to extract value from," and a lot falls into place when that lands.

It's funny to think of the Stranger Things guy (David Harbour, had to look it up to place a name to face) on a dating app but good for them.

In my opinion people put too much pressure on dating apps, I've thought them of a way to just meet people you may not come across in day-to-day and who knows what will happen. Have a pretty long-term close friend I met on a dating app, we were never romantically involved but am happy we met.
I use NewPipe on my phone, SmartTubeNext on my Android TV, and uBlock+FF inside of a container without being logged in on my laptop.

I was at a friend's house yesterday and they showed me a video on YouTube. I couldn't believe how many ads there were. It was unwatchable. Not sure how people don't pay for premium or block ads. What a miserable experience.
> They fail to incorporate “potential loss of lives and livelihoods on immense scale and fundamental transformation and destruction of our natural environment.”

That's not a failure. It's either incompetence or it's intentional. Both are unacceptable. And yet there there are companies, think tanks and individuals lining up to trumpet the narrative.

I agree with other comments that it can be easy to conflate the actual person on the other side of text with the imagined person. But, there are also other possibilities to consider too. I am speaking generally here, not assuming we know the background of that once sentence.

Overall, a person's identity is not so clear cut as we like to think. Whether in text or in person, people are often performing and wearing some kind of mask rather than exposing their "true" selves. (And, one might ponder whether a true self really exists separate from these layered behaviors.) For one reason or another, some folks may have more modes than others or switch more easily by different nuances of context.

A romantic idealist might think of a text-first relationship as somehow meeting the true person. They might even believe that they've found a soul-mate and invest in ideas like "beauty is the person inside". That they are more advanced and would not judge a book by its cover. But to meet in real life, they eventually will discover how they respond to the outsides too. The face, the voice, the body, the pheromones, the posture and mannerisms. Finding incompatibilities at this level can create a strong cognitive dissonance.

But also, people sometimes compartmentalize aspects of their personality and behavior. They might be dedicated to their real-life relationship but almost put on an alternate ego as an escape. They behave like a different person in this other (possibly secret) mode. Someone meeting this alt-person could be in for a rough ride if they do not understand that it will always be a background "fun" mode for the other party, not something they would prioritize or allow to supplant their primary lifestyle.

And finally, some might find control or security in an alternative context. Whether virtual chat or just some other space compartmentalized from real life, they may find it easier to escape boundaries of their primary social personality. They might bypass shyness or anxiety or repression expected by their social circle. But in a crossover setting, they might involuntarily shut down, to the bewilderment of someone who knew them in their escapist space.
I think there's reverted or diminishing returns.. a 400MHz svga was generational, now a prosumer pocket supercalculator quickly goes meh, very odd to observe
Because PA time is cheaper to the provider than MD time. Give it a few years and a trip to the doctor's office will mean using a touch screen a-la-mcdonalds to describe your symptoms and then the first-line medication pops out of a drawer.

I'm pretty jaded with our (US) healthcare system. As long as you stay on the happy path it's fine, but if you stray from that, good luck. Over the last few years I was given antibiotics for a gut infection, a lung infection, and currently a sinus infection. None were improved by antibiotics, but no doctor was willing to do a culture to see what the infection was before prescribing antibiotics because that's the happy path (most infectious are bacterial). I think it might be a systemic fungal infection (I've also had bouts of what I think is thrush), but that possibility is immediately rejected without investigation because 'only immunocompromised people get fungal infections'. Similar for SSRIs. Asked the shrink why SSRIs versus something else - 'got to start somewhere'. Asked them why one SSRI over another, same answer.

Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks is fine if the cost of being wrong is just the list time of needing to recompile your code. It's 100% not ok when being wrong means fucking up your tendons or making you suicidal.
If you are sitting in a air condition office in Germany operating

In a war, if you are anywhere near the frontline physical strength
is of vital importance.

In the most basic form, can you pick up a fallen soldier and carry
that soldier out of harm's way?

However, I know many women who are far stronger than me, and
would be more useful in the frontline than me.

Gender is not the only factor.
I think this is a bit backward in that the reason they're having to force it and facing resistance in the first place is that they've burned a ton of goodwill over the years through increasing ads, refusing to fix their DMCA process and letting their AI run rampant banning and demonetizing people at random with almost no way of actually talking to a human.

It's also kind of interesting to see people acting like it's entitled for people to be mad that the service that drove most other early competitors out by showing unsustainably low ads is now bait and switching by showing increasingly more ads. There's a reason there are more smaller competitors starting to pop up as YouTube has burned through leftover goodwill.
I like Sagan, but he didn’t make these rules for a post truth world, unfortunately. There were certainly well funded lies in his day, but right now we are seeing massive investment, easily rivalling a large tech corporation or a Disney media empire, in to creating “news” orgs who’s specific goal is to lie, muddy waters, sow discord, and otherwise mislead the public, and who are seen as independent bodies of verification.

It’s much more difficult now to find real facts, which is actually insane given that real facts should be available with the click of a button these days.
This article has good advice for logical thinking, but just one nit pick:

> having just lost both of his parents, he reflects on the all too human allure of promises of supernatural reunions in the afterlife, reminding us that falling for such fictions doesn’t make us stupid or bad people, but simply means that we need to equip ourselves with the right tools against them.

I feel like grouping all religion in with psychics and con artists is a bit extreme. Sure, it's impossible by contradiction for all tenets of all religions to be simultaneously true.

But... there were, are, and will yet be many intelligent people of different religions that, for various empirically-unprovable reasons, feel there is a God - even if they know at an intellectual level that their current church or belief system isn't entirely consistent or correct.

It's important to respect their religious liberty even if you disagree. Many people (including on this very forum) have had spiritual experiences that seem to confirm the existence of a God at a visceral level. It's hard to explain unless you've had a spiritual experience, but they can include moments of emotional connection to deceased loved ones, "gut feelings" that helped you do something important or avoid something bad, or unexpected and unusual ideas or thoughts (in my case, sometimes even programming related) that aid in overcoming life's obstacles, just to name a few.

If I were an advertiser on YouTube I would be very wary of YouTube's efforts on this. I wouldn't want to be paying YouTube for ad views of people who find advertising so annoying that they make such an effort to block it.

Best case scenario, frustrated ex-adblock-users will ignore my ads by muting them or looking away, so I'm paying the same price for less value, sometimes as low as zero. Worst case scenario, these users will actively despise my brand and avoid it altogether because they will associate it to their disdain for YouTube ads, so I'm paying for negative value.
I am surprised I haven’t seen angular listed here.

I would pick flutter / istio / booternetes / helm
These services have had years to set up privacy-preserving micropayment systems. Instead they want your PI and a monthly fee, all the while using network effects to create defacto monopolies.

It's entirely possible that "everyone" did know it before then. However, the patent system runs (mostly) on printed stuff that proves it.

I could spontaneously combust tomorrow, but I don’t build my life around that. Interacting with people has a risk associated with it. For women, this risk is much higher. For men, now with things like #metoo, the risk has been raised.
If you are out talking with a woman and get weird/bad vibes, politely excuse yourself and stop interacting with them. Don’t dig a deeper hole.
The majority of woman will let you know if they are not interested. Poor social skills does not excuse behavior which makes someone feel unsafe.
BP's entire existence is based on burning fossil fuels, and they're responsible for one of the worst oil-based environmental disasters of the past 20 years. I think it's very fair to assume that any mention of being "green" by them specifically is complete lip service.

I suspect it’ll be like Twitch where they tried hard for a while and then stopped because of the diminishing returns. YouTube will probably shake out everyone who doesn’t really understand tech and then find they are spending the same amount for less gains. And then the situation will stabilize again.
Yep, hence the "tradwife" trend that Gen Z started.
I just had a voice chat with chatgpt about the Android permission system that aborted with "sorry, I'm having issues right now" and when I checked the transcript, the next sentence would have been "To request a dangerous permission, you'd use the requestPermissions method" which it deemed too spicy.

I don’t understand.
Public transit is not a viable solution. Requires riders to give up far too much autonomy. Covid shows us this unambiguously. We did not require people to mask up inside their own vehicles, while we did require them to wear masks inside public transportation. There were no serious efforts to require vaccination for driving a personal vehicle, but there were serious efforts to require vaccination to ride public transport. I'm permitted to carry a firearm inside my own vehicle, but this is often forbidden on public transit.

A personal vehicle also provides you with a relatively robust protective exoskeleton, while with public transport you are much more vulnerable. Even worse, one encounters the the more frightening elements of society when riding public transportation at a much higher rate. When you combine this loss of autonomy with the increased dangers of riding public transport, it's to many Americans that private vehicles are a vastly superior mode of transportation.
Reminds me of DJT stuffing his caterer for his wedding — “but you will be able to tell potential clients that you catered my wedding!” — which was no help at all when she had to pay bills for the food and staff.
I’d suggest the book Life Ascending. It talks about how certain major jumps in complexity occurs. It directly addresses the “bumping in the ocean” you mention — according to the book the likely explanation was these initial reactions occurred in local environments around certain types of thermal vents that were constrained by small geologic features. Interesting read.
I can't really say. I'll describe some of the things I observed: they had incredibly good people skills with both customers and coworkers, they had the ability to ask incisive questions, and make good decisions with imperfect information, they context switched smoothly, they were well organized, and they made people excited about what they were working on. They also worked longer hours than anyone I know of at the company.

This sounds like a combination of charisma, leadership, and drive, which makes sense as a pretty rare set of qualities for one person to have.

... And reading that, I think I left out that they were super nice, and everybody liked them.

They might lose significant Chrome market share.

Chrome is also a "free" product. I could reverse your logic and ask why they shouldn't inject their ads into the HTML you downloaded from somewhere, from first principles?
Outside, on Mars.

So we have to assume we will maintain the ability for human Mars travel in ten thousand years, that anyone can read English or whatever in ten thousand years, and that the supporting religion didn’t lose any of its wars.

To put this in perspective our first evidence of any human agriculture was 12,000 years ago.
Everything Samsung I ever owned was a piece of shit, going back to a 2002 era DVD player whose firmware failed a week after it went out of warranty, booting up to a frozen screen full of garbage pixels.

I doubt YouTube is going for zero. I suspect they only took action recently because ad blockers have become very common.
> respect their religious liberty even if you disagree

Believe and do whatever you want with respect to religion, so long as it doesn't extend to telling me what I can or cannot do because of your beliefs.

You and others have my full support for religious liberty up until that line (overwhelmingly in the form of "yeah, whatever; I literally could not care less what you believe or do").
For several reasons. First, taxes builds the foundation of a productive society. Without them we would all be less productive. Second, taxes makes sure we provide for people who are not able to provide their basic needs for themselves, this is a moral obligation (in my opinion).
Nobody using the site is a pure money sink. Every video watched, in what order, on what topics, is data contributed to the machine. The fact that you’re blocking ads is even useful information.
Such is my reading comprehension on Saturday lol
No TV channel that I've watched has stopped a few minutes into a program and asked me if I was still watching requiring interaction for the content to continue playing. Ever.

Here's my defense of ad-blocking: Autonomy.
If we're going through the hassle of micropayments and other unnecessary beggar stuff, when why rely on some big company to take a cut of the money? Just setup a bank account and host your videos on a simple web hoster. If you're not willing to learn how to use wordpress then don't complain about youtube putting ads.
> If the org requires that my teams handle interaction, now I'm hiring people with mixed skillsets in one org, which inevitably waters down the engineering side.

Why on earth would being able to handle interactions “water down” engineering? They’re two perpendicular skillsets. We’re not in Hollywood, engineers don’t have to be autistic

Why do you ask? Because it would cause them more harm than benefit. They have thousands of people working on that and this is the conclusion they got so far.

I never used youtube without adblock and won't ever use it. I hope they block adblocks so it become so annoying that better options start to appear again.
Where did twitch stop? Unless you do more and more custom shenanigans, uBlock origin has not blocked twitch ads for a long long time, and the ads are extremely repetitive.
