> Compost heaps don't include cooked food

A big part of every compost heap my family has ever kept has been the post meal plate scraps that are assuredly cooked. Probably close to 50% by volume. I am reasonably certain this is usually the case.
They aren't even kicking out all of the foreigners. He specifically wants to kick out all 'non-western' foreigners which is already a fraction of a fraction of the people who immigrate to the Netherlands. It's just red meat to racists who want to divert the problem away from things that are harder to solve to something that's easier and gets you voted in.

I imagine things will go down the same way as it did in the UK.

I have used a couple like kitten and iterm2 over the years but for the past year or so I’ve been using the stock terminal app. Just hadn’t seemed like the fancy third party ones were worth the trouble. Like tabs and other features are meaningless if you’re using tmux or something else anyway. Some of the searching and completion features are worthless when you’ve got fzf. Sometimes these special terminal features have bespoke key mappings that conflict with vim or other apps.
Hi, it seems you missed my point.

I was trying to convey a more extreme holistic situation where there simply isn't a consequence of someone sharing a nude picture of someone, people just shrugging and saying "so what? It's perfectly normal to be naked".

By breaking the underlying system of shame and embarrassment of someone being nude, there isn't anything to gain from it after that. Then there isn't a reason to even make it illegal anymore.

(Other than just not wanting your person to be pictured at all, just basic privacy, no need to put different value to different parts of the body)
Canada is not at all a crowded country, yet it has housing crisis. At least Netherlands had the foresight to create dense, urban spaces with cycling infrastructure and half decent public transit. All they need to do now is replicate this. The thing about environmental concerns is that the nos should be balanced with human quality of life, and in that lens the Dutch way really works better than many other developed countries.
It doesn't matter whether the people want it. It's only a matter of time until it happens.
It's not that kind of questioning I mean, more like, "you keep your science, I have my crystals".

To questioning the results is one thing. To reject the scientific process, or not even understanding what that it is, is another.
> they are still not made for the masses (which I suppose is to the liking of those that enjoy the fediverse)

I think more to the point, the fediverse is largely anti-commercial. You -can- advertise, but risk getting defederated if you do it in a way people disapprove of. And you -can- run a walled garden, but then what are you doing running a node that supports federation (this is one thing I'm still confused about with Threads, so I'm curious how that shakes out)?

But the reason the web exploded (at least in my mental model) was because it evolved to support commerce, which then got businesses using it and users following to buy things online which was a lot more convenient than buying things in brick and mortar stores. So if the fediverse remains anti-commercial (which is the only version I'm interested in) then it will probably never get the kind of money that Web 1/2/3 has, since every evolution has been funded by commerce, so it will probably always stay niche.

There are also legitimate usability challenges, too, though. I expect those will be solved eventually, but not soon since there's no money in it and money has always been an accelerator of technical development to the point people assume tech is fast because they're so used to the massive amounts of money being poured into tech. Even when they are solved, though, I still expect the fediverse to remain niche due to the lack of commercial opportunity (and I say that as a big fan of the fediverse - as you suppose, I think it's actually to its benefit that it to some extent undoes the Eternal September).

The worst in Europe, and since much longer than any other country in Europe.

It's common for Dutch universities to only accept international students on the condition that they (i.e. the student) manage to find housing themselves, because there have been many cases where they enrolled but just couldn't get housing anywhere. You don't see that in other countries.

And it's been this bad for more than a decade.

You don't need special language tooling support. `git add` works regardless of which language you're using; we're shedding excessive tooling here (read: disentangling it from places it shouldn't be).

"Why prefer a package manager over a library folder?" is a false dichotomy. Package managers are still responsible for managing packages—when your dependencies are checked into the repo, the package manager just operates on the packages that are already on disk instead of fetching them in a separate step and/or at the very last minute and being intertwined with the build process.

it’s awful without the taxation, but that detail extends a message they didn’t have enough sense to hold back or at least sanitize - citizens live and die for the state, it does not exist for them, and the youth aren’t special in that regard - they were just an overlooked resource that wasn’t fully squeezed yet. and why wait until adulthood?
Can you link to such a trial? I only know of gm modified new insects, to take over and die (they reproduce a lot, but their offspring dies, so other normal reproduce less).

While I worry about the recent success populism is having in Europe I too take issue with the way the politicians and their voters get presented in media. "Far right" is overused, worries about massive uncontrolled immigration played down and attributed to racism, etc. People don't just start voting populists out of thin air. They face some real issues. Ignoring those and resorting to labels will only push them further into populism and maybe some real extremist politics since there's nobody else addressing their concerns.

My understanding of exponential growth is that if a tick produces a thousand offspring every year over 7 years you would have around 1e+21 ticks.

The milky way is only 1e+18km wide.

This would suggest at present our solar system should be a massive sphere of infinitely expanding ticks dwarfing out all light, life and matter and further expanding into the cosmos and in another few years of tick exponential growth will overwhelm the milky way with tick mass, and then eventually not long after the entire universe will just become a large sphere of infinitely expanding ticks.

And apprently ticks can reproduce more than 1000 offspring and also can live more than one year so this is a conservative estimate.

Unless the big bang was tick based....something's not adding up here.

Or possibly you and the journalist dont fully appreciate how big exponential growth really is.

It does matter. Where is it? By evading this you have basically described "instinct" as something computers simply cannot have, axiomatically. That's boring.

> LLMs don’t seek any goal. It’s advanced autocomplete.

These two sentences are contradictory.

> You can’t give it a bunch of facts and a goal then expect it to figure out how to achieve said goal.

Have you used a language model lately? It sounds like you're saying things you think a LLM shouldn't be able to do as if they can't do them. Giving it a bunch of facts and a goal and expecting it to figure out how to achieve the goal is something you can do. It's not perfect, but they can be surprisingly good.

> Where’s “here”?

In general the trope of a smug liberal is a thing, but I think you made the jump to intelligence:

>>Matthijs Rooduijn, associate professor of political science at Amsterdam University, says such views are common among Wilders voters. “When you look at the electorate of the PVV in general, it consists of people who experience more difficulties to get by. They are more lonely. They feel that they are being neglected. They have tough lives basically, economically but also culturally,” he said.

Of course this trope doesn’t come from nowhere, but this is a professor of political science, who said nothing disrespectful about the intelligence of the group. I am inclined to think that the observation is based on some research findings and has some relevance.

Has me thinking about the Drake (RIP) equation, thinking about life in terms of probabilities.

Seems like the chances of finding intelligent life on a planet vs. plain ol' plants and sponges life must be markedly smaller. Humans have existed on this planet for what fraction of the whole of life on this planet?

Of course, that's from one data set — and one in fact where the jury's still out as to our longevity as a species.

Sci-fi haș me thinking that pretty much any planet with life also has intelligent life but that doesn't ring true when you look at the numbers.

We better hope we don't find sentient life around Alpha Centauri because that's very bad news for us. Let me explain.

Imagine if there were exactly 2 sentient lifeforms in our galaxy, us and 1 other. What is the probability that the other evolved around our closest star in a galaxy with 100-400 billion stars? Extremely low. So, just based on that one data point the far more likely explanation is that the galaxy is teeming with sentient life. Instead of 2 lifeforms, it's more likely in teh thousands.

So why is this bad news for us? Because we don't really see any evidence of spacefaring life anywhere. In Fermi Paradox terms, we think of certain events as "filters". To get to where we are we have survived a number of filters. Some are minor. Some are what we call "Great Filters", meaning life is highly unlikely to get passed eg the presence of phosphorus and other elements necessary for life as we know it.

So a galaxy teeming with sentient life is highly suggestive that a Great filter is ahead of us.

Consider this: many (including myself) believe that the most likely path forward for our species is in a Dyson Swarm. The ultimate problem for any civilization is energy (even resources are simply a question of energy) and living space. A Dyson Swarm solves both of these problems without requiring any theoretical or essentially magic materials. It can be built incrementally. It may also be the only viable method of producing the energy required for interstellar travel.

These stick out like a sore thumb because orbitals need to dump heat. The only way to do that in space is to radiate it away. At any likely temperature for doing this, this means outputting a lot of infrared. So a star with a massive IR signature (compared to its visible light) would be an indicator of a Dyson Swarm that you cannot hide and can be seen from massive distances, particularly if you start spreading to nearby stars. A galaxy of such constructs could be seen from millions of light years away by us.

Even at 1% of the speed of light, it would take no more than about 10 million years to fully colonize the galaxy. In terms of the 4.5 billion years it took us to get where we are this is a rounding error. We are likely to be able to build such orbitals within 1000 years, possibly within 100 years.

So, life on Alpha Centauri would mean that rare life evolved on our closest neighbor, it became sentient and hasn't gone this route but it still in the narrow window of emergence of sentience and not becoming spacefaring, all of which is incredibly unlikely when put together, or there's a Great Filter ahead of us.

This is -I think- (one of) the main reasons people voted PVV. We (the Dutch people) can't even make their own decisions! And when things fall apart (and they are: housing, inflation, too much environmentalism, declining healthcare, etc) this is exactly what we need: make decisions to fix this. But we 'can't' because of EU. This is extremely angering and fueled the rise of PVV. And don't get me wrong: I'm one of them. And no, I'm not 'far right'. I just want to fix things.
