Sure, but then we're back to knowing nothing about it. I think what many people find compelling about the simulation argument is that it claims that we can just follow forward our laws of physics and see that we are more likely than not living in a simulation, but I think that's not true

Highly relevant if you want to work on ML systems. Despite how much OpenAI dominates the press there are actually many, many teams building useful and interesting things.
Nice, but it is planned to be operational in next 10 years. While we(NATO) need a useful deterrent in place in Europe in next ~6 years tops. If people of EU truly believe people have rights not to be enslaved, killed, have a right to govern themselves in a democratic way, more money and effort has to be invested in mass manufacturing of currently and previously available weapons. Such as artillery shells (preferably smart, with rocket assist, but dumb too). Also systems using drones and manpads (the latter are being manufactured in Poland for example, but in two orders of magnitude too low a volume).
The sizes match, but I’ve never heard someone use the North America to refer to the US. Someone else replied to the comment with “we also have a dessert almost as large as North America as well”.
>People don't want low end housing built in their neighborhoods.

The problem with this reasoning is that housing has gotten so expensive in many cities that anything that costs less than $750,000 can be considered "low end".

Polls show that most people want more housing built. The problem is homeowners don't want it built in their neighborhood. Everyone wants to pass the buck to somewhere else.

That's why it's no longer possible for residential zoning to be determined on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. States have to step up and come up with minimum zoning that reflects the state's larger interests rather than letting every block fight to "preserve" a historic gas station etc.
I recently tried to access someone at github.

A page ( https://github.com/pricing , I am a verified teacher, what happens if I already subscribed to co-pilot ) clearly tells me to contact support. I've decided it's simply impossible to contact anyone at github, every attempt just leads to an automated reply and my post being closed. I'm not sure there is anyone there. I tried posting ont he help forum, where I (of course) never got a reply.

This has made me make sure nothing I care about is only on github -- as I don't expect to any recieve any help if I have any other problems in future. I should of course be careful anyway, but when you hit these problems you realise quite how hard it is to contact any modern large company.

I don’t think my daughter socializing with other children is a “shitbox of a time wasting experience.”

She enjoys it and learns a lot just being around older children. Probably more importantly, so far it seems she’s on the path to being an extrovert when my wife and I are both introverts that aren’t great at social situations. I think that will probably put her further ahead in life than learning to read or do math a year early.

Also, she only gets to be 2 once.
I hear he feels trapped, being a parent, and a responsible adult can do that to you.

However, I raised two children, spent hours reading to them every night, feeding them at 1 am so that they would sleep in until 7 am. But there were four glorious hours every night between putting them to bed, and going to sleep myself. During that time I developed side projects, read, and enjoyed myself. I suggest the author try to relish the time he does have, rather then feeling trapped.

I didn't miss anything. Your entire criticism so far hinges on my usage of silence as the answer.

Alright. I'll modify the function only slightly.

return "I don't want to talk about this."

Replace that with a list of some different answers and `random.choice(answers)` if you like. Now you got a machine that gives "satisfactory and sustained" answers, only it always says No.

Aka. the exact same situation as with complete silence, only now we dotted the i's and crossed the t's.

And since the human is able to refuse to give any answers as well, it makes the entire test pointless, as again the interrogator cannot base his decision on anything but guesswork.

The point of the "silence-thought-experiment" isn't to satisfy Turings paper to the letter. The point is to showcase a flaw in the methodology it presents.
Several of them use multiple as-independent-as-possible detection methods. The most common are ground stations in a grid that measure high energy particles passing through, and then correlate them in time, followed by ultra fast (in terms of data acquisition - eg
20M samples/s) telescopes pointed at the atmosphere (not the sky), which can see the slight trace of fluorescence light left behind by the air shower from up to tens of kilometers away.

What's common to all of the detection methods I know of is the atmosphere. Back at Pierre Auger Observatory, we used a combination of LIDAR scans and weather balloons to constantly monitor it. The atmosphere is basically a calorimeter for these detectors.

The fluorescence detectors (FD) are generally considered the most direct measurement of both primary particle energy because the fluorescence mechanism is relatively simple (somebody is bound to criticize me for saying that), with a proportionality whose constant can be measured in the lab[1]. But there's still models and simulations that go into it. And these fluorescence telescopes can only be operated in moonless nights, so have a duty cycle of only about 10%.

Eg. Auger combines FD with surface detectors (SD) to use simultaneously measured events to calibrate the more indirect energy measurement of the SD and thus make use of their near 100% duty cycle.

[1] Other methods have been tried to measure this fluorescence yield. It's primarily done in the lab: https://arxiv.org/abs/1210.1319
For something completely different: my own masters thesis from a long time ago was an attempt to determine this yield indirectly because we know from detailed bottom up simulations that air shower shape is near universal given primary and energy. If we knew the event geometry (direction) well enough, we could use the ratio of Cherenkov to fluorescence light along the recorded track and fit our longitudinal shower size model using the fluorescence yield as the free parameter. In hindsight that was a lot of fun. I would enjoy that type of work a great deal more today, now that I feel that have less to prove. :)

Edit: formatting
The focus on the wealth side of it is pointless and misplaced. Housing prices are driven by demand, which comes from immigration. There is nothing you can do no the supply side, because the demand is limitless. Cut of all the immigration and foreign buying, and the problem will fix itself in a hurry.
I'm not talking about technological restrictions; I'm well aware of the pixel counts and color depth of modern displays. They do not get rid of the design constraints of trying to make a usable interface with very high information density on a small screen.

A game like Unciv can't take the usual mobile UI cop-out of just hiding all the complexity behind a hamburger menu. It needs a large number of individually recognizable UI elements that are all significantly smaller than a thumbprint, because there are several pieces of information that need to be conveyed about each map tile the user can interact with. So a lot of the UI needs to be composed of icons or graphics designed under similar constraints. (And no, the fundamental design constraints and goals of icons are not the same as the file format limitations of early Windows .ICO files.)

Mobile games like Genshin Impact have comparatively little game state information and fewer discrete indicators that needs to be on-screen, so they can go all-out on the scenery and decorative visual effects. Unciv on a phone at its most zoomed-in has about as much physical screen area per map tile as Civ 5 on a laptop at its most zoomed-out; at normal playable zoom levels their respective UIs are working with very different amounts of screen real estate.
> I would love to hear of other low(er) barrier-to-entry ways to use LaTeX, because it’s a pretty steep commitment for someone who isn’t a professional writer.

I have been working on and off on a fork of LaTeX with real-time feedback: you can see the document and error messages rendered and updated live. It also supports SyncTeX (going from a source line to the corresponding output and vice-versa).

I added vim support recently, you can see it in action there: https://github.com/let-def/texpresso.vim
There is also emacs support in the main repo (https://github.com/let-def/texpresso). That's all quite experimental, but I hope to do a first release next year. It should work on most unix, I test with Linux and macOS.
Taking an Internet Walk
In my opinion Reddit has a content problem in the same way 24 hour news does. Simply put, there's not enough content to put up constantly so it's supplemented with repeating memes, reposts, and drama.
A language usage doesn't correlates with quality.

I wish people would stop spamming that quote on discussions here on this site as shallow dismissal everytime someone posts their critique.
Haw can a government prevent you from starting a build and finishing it over time? I'm genuinely curious. Here in Poland it has been a very popular method of building a home. I myself used it and it took me 7 years from start to finish (ceramic blocks and concrete construction).

Also the same about an unfinished house. How about finishing one "floor", moving in and then finishing the rest?
I'm having real trouble with this text. The author's pompous ego makes it hard to take any of this seriously, which, at least, he does admit. But still, the style on this piece makes me wonder if it's a professional deformation of sorts - talking about one's lack of fulfillment while throwing in pointless metaphors and buzzwords, hyping up his genius. If this is meant to be a piece the reader should connect to - how will they do that when the post is half-confessional, half-promotional? Many people could connect to the idea that daily chores waste their precious time on this planet, but when he tries to sell himself as the equivalent of a rock star... Not to mention that broadcasting one's complete lack of preparation for parental roles is baffling to me. This isn't a feel-good post about learning to be a better parent, it's a post about living up to a bare minimum of standards while also peddling his services.
Maybe a stupid question, but how are equations handled in the parsing of a paper? Are local runable LLM capable of proposing model equations like programming code? I have seen that GPT4 can, so just wondering if equations are "treated" like normal computer code. My Zotero papers are equations heavy.

Zotero has been mentioned in this thread a few times, and it has this feature. The browser extension has both "with a snapshot" and "without" options (the snapshot being your local copy), and you can choose the default and also choose for each page if you want to.

Many of the technical and science stuff is still pretty good. Not like it used to be, but it's a recurring theme, when the Internet expanded, UseNet also became rubbish, "infested by AOL'ers and spam" was the complaint in 1996.
I think it's because the expansion of the universe is happening faster than the speed of light. So the light from the far regions can never reach us.

The universe could well be infinite, but the Hubble volume is pretty much finite...

If it was only dust, it alone would not explain the darkness due to re-emission of light (as other commenters pointed out).

There have been multiple in my life, but one that stands out to me was actually when I was only about two years old. My grandfather had a bad heart attack and wasn’t expected to live more than a few weeks; my family moved across the country for him to spend his last days with his children. A year later, he had (unexpectedly) recovered. My mother and grandparents wanted to move back to where I am now, but had no way to do so - no vehicle, no money and no job waiting for them back here.

My grandmother prayed for God to provide a way for them to get back home. The next morning she received a letter informing them that their bid on a Corps of Engineers contract to maintain a park had been accepted. They’d be paid quarterly, and the first check was enclosed. It was enough to buy a truck, a camp trailer to live in, and make the move.

No one had submitted a bid - no one was even familiar with the process or the position. I would be the first to propose that someone in the family bid on their behalf, but they later learned that the bid had both my grandparents’ signatures on it. My grandfather was in the hospital when the bid was submitted, and my grandmother maintained that she’d never seen the paper before getting a check in the mail for the rest of her life.

FontForge embeds a Python interpreter [0], which lets you write Python scripts that start with `#!/usr/bin/fontforge` and just `chmod +x` and plainly execute them later on. That said I've only ever personally used it for basic reproducible manipulation of existing fonts with small issues with individual glyphs I wanted to fix, so your mileage may vary depending on requirements.

Where exactly is "Zürich, Switherland"?
I think that maybe brings in a question of if you should assume a piece of information say the existence of this 't' is uncorrelated with being simulated or not. If not than I think it can be shown that it's probability of being part of a simulation is just equal to the fraction of information in the universe that's dedicated to simulations which I think most people would imagine is less than 50% given the knowledge that that space has a max information capacity. I do admit that you might think information associated with consciousness is more common in simulations than out, but idk, also maybe not. Personally I find the particular set of facts I'm presented with to not seem particularly simulated. My life isn't particularly interesting and I think most information in the kinda of limited resolution simulation you're imagining should have unusually high value of some kind.

We've had many more events within an order of magnitude of these events' measured/reconstructed primary energy. The spectrum is a power law. While theoretically something completely different could be happening in the atmosphere of you add 2-10x the energy, there's really no indication thereof. Auger also has high energy event detected by multiple detection methods, not just the "standard" water-cherenkov or scintillator ground stations.
I recently purchased a Synology with 2 disks in raid 1 to backup all my Google Drive, all my Google Photos files continuously.

No one is safe against account issue, or as it seems to be the case in the help thread, pure data loss. Just back things up and rely on cloud for flexibility rather than storage.

SIAM Math Modeling (Free EBooks)
In my field, ArXiv has about the same level of credibility as Wikipedia or random journal articles from the International Journal of Sciency Science, i.e. trust, but verify. Among non-peer-reviewed documents, they rank below things like DoE or NASA reports and tend to not be cited.

There are preprints of articles since then published (which have the same credibility as the peer-reviewed article), articles form mates (which are obviously great), and the rest, which might be interesting but not a solid source on its own.

It seems to be working as intended, to be fair. ArXiv has precious little ways of improving the accuracy of the preprints.

> Regional acts like California's absolutely insane Proposition 13 (enacted by the people themselves) massively distort markets and act as giant ladder pulling mechanisms against future generations.

This is too simplistic, in order to criticize Prop 13 it is important to understand why it came to be.

Not everyone can live in the same house, so there's always going to be winners (who get to live there) and losers (who want to but can't). Who should laws favor? Who should the law kick to the curb (methaphorically, or sometimes literally)?

One argument is that the richest person should always win and whoever can't keep up on the wealth race, is out.

But that argument doesn't sit well with a lot of society, turns out. If there's a big IPO in town and we suddenly have a few hundred new gazillionaires around, should they be able to kick out all the middle class people that called that neighborhood home for decades?

If you call Prop 13 a "giant ladder pulling mechanisms against future generations" (and you're not entirely wrong), it is important to realize that the lack of something like Prop 13 is equally a giant ladder pulling mechanisms against current residents.

Should the richest newcomer always win? Maybe? But it's not clear cut, so it's a complex issue.
