>Vaclav Havel - The Power of the Powerless

I read that book during 2020. It should be obligatory reading for anyone who appreciates Orwell's 1984, and provides a concise, first-hand account of how humans manufacture and sustain the systems of their own oppression.

One of the most fascinating insights was that those at the top of the power system are not the most free, as you might think, but rather the most constrained. Those at the very bottom are the only ones free to act exactly as they wish (hence the title).

There is also insightful discussion whether dissidents should act within or without the system, and raises the point that "the system" itself provides powerful tools that anyone can wield (eg, a CoC).
Any reason you aren't reporting it to the police?
> There's still a strong culture in the US that fetishizes punishment. A

No, you just don't understand the civilization you were born into.

It's not a fetish... it's the point. If government promises to punish transgressors, then individuals will refrain from vigilante justice. This punishment is done, because our monkey morality demands it.

There are a few secondary goals. We also seek to sequester the offender away from society, so they can't do more injury. We hope (mostly in vain) that public acknowledgement of the punishment acts as a deterrent.

> They don't care how many innocent people get caught up in it

Can't speak for anyone else, but I care about that. It's mostly easy policy fixes too. If prosecutors were barred from using plea bargaining (we don't have to ban it absolutely, limit it to 1% of the cases they see per calendar year), some large chunk of the wrongly-convicted would avoid that fate. Absolutely demolish bail bonding as an industry. Hell, if you really want to fix stuff...

Prohibit eyewitness testimony in court, including but especially confessions (they can be useful as investigative leads, but aren't evidence of anything except some really perverse human psychology).

Who am I supposed to talk to to get the policy fixes implemented?

Maybe it's not the attitude problem you think it is.

To me, language and culture have intrinsic value. I also feel very attached to my cultural heritage because I'm descended from holocaust survivors. I don't want to simply sit back and watch as the culture and language disappear, and I want to provide an entrypoint for people like me who are interested but perhaps have a little less time on their hands, or who struggle with learning languages.

I'm planning soon to start releasing some videos where I read some of the old stories in English! There's not enough of it out there. It's important to me to preserve it, and the best way to preserve culture and language is to disseminate it.

Rinse aid is a detergent that helps remove the residue other detergents or minerals in the water might leave on dishes after washing. It's not needed for hand washing, where mechanical scrubbing & a rinse with clean water performs the same task.

Dishwasher detergent is a surfactant, but is not a soap. All soaps are detergents, not all detergents are soaps. Soaps form insoluble precipitates when used with "hard" water, dishwasher detergents don't do that. They're not good to touch directly (rather harsh on the skin, they'll remove all the oil) but since they don't form those precipitates they work in a wider variety of conditions than soaps do. They also tend to include some other components, like bleach. That helps them clean better without needing mechanical scrubbing, which dishwashers don't do.

Assembly has a lot of boilerplate, and every other language is an abstraction that gets a language-machine to write it for us.

> The same movies are shown in Scandinavian cinemas

Maybe it's better now but Scandinavia has had their moments of censorship keeping those "same movies" out of theaters. Sweden banned The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Mad Max, and even ET (for ages under 11). Norway banned Ichi the Killer, I Spit on Your Grave, and A Serbian Film.

If you look at 2018-2019 circulars for your supermarket (you can usually find archives online for big chains) and compare them to today, it's easy to see that prices did increase ~30%, but not 100% like it "feels like" they increased.

30% is a lot! But it is what the CPI numbers imply for food, and it's more accurate than "feels like." or "these few things went up 100% so everything went up 100%."

Feelings are important, but they are not the reality, and they don't imply a government conspiracy.

Sort of, but isn't the focus on prompts a bit myopic? The huge difference between earlier GPTs and ChatGPT was RLHF, which not only makes it better at following prompts, but also enforces a lot of hidden dogma. It certainly influences how ChatGPT talks about climate change or AI risks, for example.

> The inferior product here is Apple's iMessage.

Yet ya'll want them to open up iMessage for Android users. Sure sure sure sure sure.

> Instead, Apple has chosen not to update iMessage because the poor experience they are creating for their own users makes their users believe that messaging on iPhone is superior to Android.

Again, if you knew anything of the reason people "look down on you for having green bubbles" it's not about SMS, but about not having the extra goodies that people enjoy with iMessage when communicating with you.

> you just have to look at any other messaging app like Telegram that runs circles around iMessage.

Then whats the problem? Don't want to use iMessage then start your chats with your friends on Telegram, it's available on all platforms including iOS.

Oh yeah nobody wants to use Telegram even though it apparently "runs circles around iMessage"

> If Apple actually cared about this "ecosystem", they should just stop supporting SMS messaging all together, and have it so iMessage users can only communicate with other iMessage users.

So nothing changes other than to send an SMS to non iMessage users they change to a different app? That is absurb and a terrible UX.
Microsoft claims that Cobalt has a much lower power consumption than any other Arm CPUs that they have used.

Presumably this means that Cobalt has a much lower power consumption than the current Ampere CPUs used by Azure.

Most of the power consumption reduction for a given performance may have come from using a more recent TSMC process, together with a more recent Arm Neoverse core, but perhaps there might be also some other innovation in the MS design.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not aware of a tool that can allow you to organize papers in such a way. There might be, not sure. Also, if I understood you correctly, the tool would work in a way that would enable you to visualize the historical narrative leading to the latest paper. What would be really interesting, if not only could you manually organize papers in such a way, but have the software automate this process to delineate the most relevant papers.

> And yet unlike renewables nuclear (and coal and gas etc.) are very close to that. And nuclear routinely runs close to its capacity, predictably.

Sure. Apples to oranges; they're not the same thing. Theoretical perfect-day max generation isn't how you provision solar/wind, that'd be stupid; the folks building out Germany's renewable efforts aren't stupid.

If you need a certain baseline of a certain renewable, you overprovision (and trade capacity with other areas and generation methods). Given the cost of new solar/wind capacity these days, that still makes perfect economic sense. Any long-term renewables plan is going to include energy storage and peaker plants of some kind to ensure a reliable grid on a national/continental scale.

>> Is your therapist a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist?

Yes. Clinical psychologist.

>> That would be an instant disqualification of an ADHD diagnosis.

You could be right. That's what most literature says. However, there's some talking about ADHD developing in adulthood. I cannot say whether to trust or not; surely there's very little such literature.

I have been shouted upon by my wife at peak volume for hours at a stretch, about once every two days, for years, with her usually beating herself badly along the way, sometimes threatening with knives, and so on and on.

As I wrote in another comment here, I started facing these symptoms around 2011 and distinctly in 2012, when I was 35 years of age. Prior to that, I have always been a star performer, during childhood and at work, with no such symptoms to the best of my understanding.

>> ... but have you ever investigated (C)PTSD? If can mimic many ADHD symptoms.

My therapist did mention that to me and told me to read about it. I read about it on Wikipedia, but do not know enough myself to say either way. I'll talk to the therapist again on my next visit.
Yeah I'm pretty sure Z3 can do all the examples easily. Nice simple interface though!
Literally (literally literally, not figuratively literally) every time I see the word "demoscene" after not seeing it for a few days, I think it's the name of a geologic age, like pleistocene.
No, it wouldn't, because PPI rate of change isn't a leading indicator of CPI rate of change, and, anyhow, PPI inflation has recently been unusually elevated compared to CPI inflation, so if it indicates anything (doubtful) its a more normal relationship between CPI inflation and PPI inflation, not what direction CPI inflation is heading.
> don't compare your experience to the neurotypical one

I can't help myself from doing this, but I am not sure if I truly should want to stop making such a comparison. I find it leaves me feeling like I am inferior or sub-human. I have ADHD, and so what? ADHD can make things more challenging, but not impossible (within the realms of reason).

Depends on who you are and how needed you are. And while everyone is replaceable, it is not true that everyone is replaceable within a week, or even a month.
Oh I mean that makes perfect sense. You're agreeing with me. Caffeine and sugar give you dopamine. Of course those with low serotonin are likely to have low dopamine - being depressed makes you not want to do stuff. And I can also understand why being depressed would make you want comfort consumables more than being only low dopamine.

We went with something similar to that at one point. Our problem was we had only a few dozen ms to render thousands of recurring events. Most customers didn’t look more than a few weeks ahead (though we rendered them out decades). Using your approach would have taken too long to calculate intersections — it was our initial approach actually — but just making a simple query and rendering actual events was much faster.

Optimization is the ruination of all elegance.

As far as I know iMessage is available also outside US. If iMessage was 100% the cause it would be the same outside US as well.

So I think that 'Blue Bubble Bullying' in US is because iPhone is more popular there - not other way around.

It is an organization, by definition. It's a unit of government.

This organization has revenue (budgeted to it).

If they perform poorly, the budget might be lowered next year. More correctly, if they are perceived to perform poorly, their budget drops. But they were in control of the mechanisms by which their performance is perceived.

> These people need consequences.

If you put people (individually or as a group) into an unpleasant circumstance, and demand performance from them at odds with the unpleasantness of the circumstance, you run into a problem. You're no longer able to insist they experience consequences for failure. When you attempt that, if they're allowed to quit, they just quit. And I know you weren't suggesting we press them into slavery.

Consequences only work when they have no leverage.

1. Many of those economic events were due to many factors, deflation not being one of them

2. Nearly all of them were relatively minor and recovered on their own

3. Now make a list of all the economic disasters that have happened under fiat money / central bank / pro-inflation policies.

Ideally the economy oscillates between periods of low inflation and low deflation. This would reflect natural business cycles.
