It's quite interesting. They have proxy legal systems in these countries: the unions. Since the union "strikes" are not the same as traditional strikes that I know of, they can sustain the strike much longer.

Rather than strikes where workers don't work and don't get paid (and must be compensated from union dues), these strikes involve the majority of workers continuing to work and just shunning one or two companies across all aspects of society.

The proxy legal system comes up when the de jure system nominates the proxy system into a position of authority. In Sweden, irrespective of who nominally decides a car will have plates, the real gatekeeper is PostNord and its workers. The government and non-union-worker citizens are sort of an irrelevant bunch.

So the proxy legal system is the union that serves PostNord members. Interesting. In the US, I imagine this would be rapidly subverted by a crime lord who would extract surplus by simply holding Tesla hostage until they pay up some large personal bounty and then some increased benefits to workers. Hoffa and friends.

The reporting doesn't hint at anything like that in Sweden and crime lords are rarely international so that's interesting to see.
At this point, I honestly just hope the standoff continues because I want to see how many moves each side has. This is really interesting to watch as somebody who isn't affected by it directly.

Government workers deciding not to provide services to specific entities or people they are in dispute with is a bridge that I can only assume should have some pretty serious consequences.

Partly that. Also they tend to push parts farther - temperature range, probably also radiation hardness, maybe some other things. When you need a part with a milspec temperature range, you really want to get a part with that range, not a part with a smaller range with a forged label.
Because you could defeat your enemy if you sabotaged their components! Say you were selling op-amps or oscillators you knew were going to be used in warfare. You could burn in an "easter egg" where they shut down if they received a particular RF pulse (or drifted wildly if they didn't receive some covert 'keep working' message). It would be a disaster.
Because when you under deliver on a government contract they can throw your ass into jail faster than you can say "Quidditch".
Determined: Life Without Free Will by Robert Sapolsky. He's a Stanford biologist/neuroscientist. You may have come across lectures from his class on Human Behavioral Biology which is on Youtube for free and highly recommended. The book basically lays out his argument that our actions are entirely the result of a deterministic combination of our genes, chemicals during fetal development, epigenetic factors during childhood and adolescence, brain trauma, diet, sleep, recent stress exposure, etc. Much of it motivated by his work as an expert witness in criminal trials, and concluding with his take on the "now what?" question on the moral/ethical implications of deciding that we don't really have as much (or any) control over our actions as we like to imagine.

It’s interesting because free speech has become very expensive speech for Musk.
The rise in price really just means that people think they can cash out even higher. If it was already overvalued, it would still jump because people expect stocks to pump during layoffs.

We should stop acting like this reflects a large increase in the inherent value of Spotify, it's just another speculative market. Tech is particularly bad for this.
Question to my fellow Scandinavians friends (Hi! from France) :

In this matter, the union agreement is more or less what we call a "convention collective" in France ?
> “44.2 million people lived in households that had difficulty getting enough food to feed everyone in 2022”

That line comes from a report[0] produced by an entity that as of last check had an annual revenue of $6.6T.

They're probably in a better position to address food insecurity than Elon Musk, whose entire net worth, if you could liquidate it at that phantom price of $245B, would pay for one year's food budget for each of those 44.2 million people before running out.

Rockbox was definitely life-changing software for me. I was so proud when I first managed to get it installed, at the age of 10 if that. I got a Sansa Clip Plus for about $25, an affordable price, even at that age, and Rockbox made it talk. Similar devices directly aimed at the blind marked are more expensive at least by an order of magnitude. It has served me well for years, up until 2016 or so, when I finally bit the bullet and switched over to listening on a smartphone full time. I definitely have very fond memories of generating audiobooks on my computer with text-to-speech software to play them later on the Sansa, though.
Piracy of 100 in 1 cartidges for Game Boy was a thing along with Adibas bootleg. Memory was limited and the games are simple because of it. I had a 1 in 4 with space invaders and that was a comparatively shitty game but a hit on Atari (minimum viable product, worse than asteroids). So what killed Atari was extremely low quality, plain and simple.

You may have a point on price control, because I saw no main titles, and I remeber more recently the Mame community held back on (highly priced) arcade titles to not compete with sales. But you present a false dichotomy because quality control is marketing.

Could have gone higher. Worth it in copper savings alone. IIRC the cars use AC motors. It needs to go through inverters anyway so there is some flexibility in how high you can go.

Bird vocalizations are variable and with only so much space within which they can vary not all sounds can be identified even with close study of the spectrogram. Plus there are plenty of birds which mimic the calls of other birds very accurately. If you're taking away context clues from location it is not surprising that it would not work super well.
I like manifold.markets. The discussions under some markets can become quite stimulating. Lots of smart people there, though mostly dominated by very specific demographics.
Very much agree.

I would like to ask you a serious question: do you not think it is extremely weird that so many people will at least sometimes[1] agree that "democracy" is essentially fake, but then at other times take quite literally the opposite stance...praising it, defending it, singing its virtues, etc? Granted, it is theoretically possible that each individual is 100% consistent at all times, and I am simply observing people who are on different sides of the argument, but now and then I'll check into someone's post history and find evidence that pretty soundly rules that out (subjectivity noted).

A standard response to this is something along the lines of "Oh, that's people just being X (dumb, etc)", but I do not believe that is an even remotely accurate description of what is really going on. But for even more irony: on one hand, most people tend to think democracy, governance, and all the things downstream of it (ie: their literal experience here on Earth) is a very big deal (the passionate debate over what exactly the events of January 6 "were" is a prime example), yet it is almost impossible to get anyone to engage in a highly serious conversation about just what the fuck is going on here on Planet Earth, 2023. It is as if there is some sort of a yet to be discovered phenomenon in play.

Do you think I might be crazy? I very often genuinely feel like I am living in The Truman Show.

> That said, I am surprised by the results - in my mental model of how things work this does not add up. Rust assembly is ~50 instructions, roughly ~30 of them being vector (SIMD) instructions and the rest of ~20 instructions being the superset of (only) 6 instructions used in C++ assembly. I cannot see how those 6 instructions, even with the branch mispredict cost of ~15 cycles, can run ~2.5x slower than the pretty much convoluted version of the SIMD popcnt.

> I cannot see how those 6 instructions, even with the branch mispredict cost of ~15 cycles, can run ~2.5x slower than the pretty much convoluted version of the SIMD popcnt.

I fleshed out the benchmarks a bit, to compare `popcnt` itself and a no-op baseline: https://quick-bench.com/q/Bb36LyruJ1r8pzm8o_hjckU-xcI

The quick-bench tool gives some nice assembly-level timing information[1] but I couldn't get it to work with my janky inline-copy-paste-assembly, and I blew past my curiosity time budget for this. You seem pretty experienced and I'd love to know more about this, so maybe if you know how to get the "popcnt_rs" extern assembly function to be inlined in the quick-bench link below we could take a look in more detail?

> I've heard that the beer made then, maybe especially for consumption by peasants, had a low ABV by today's standards. High alcohol beer is a waste of grain if the goal is a slightly-more-antiseptic-than-water beverage.

You might want to reread what I wrote, yes it was only like 2 percent. The problem is, how anti-septic is 2% beer? It is not. It doesn't really help in any meaningful way.

If you want stable beer that you can transport over longer distances you want higher alcohol concentration but then again higher alcohol concentration isn't exactly great for keeping people hydrated.

The best thing I read this year was "The Last Lion", a three-volume biography of Winston Churchill.

I don't know that I would recommend it to most people, it's a hell of a lot of words to read about one guy: volume 1 alone is 850 pages in hardcover, covering 1874-1932. The writer (William Manchester) is also very fond of his subject, so those who consider Churchill a villain (or even a deeply flawed hero) will likely not care for it.

But man, could Manchester write. This is history as literature. He's especially good at long, dramatic, paragraphs that build to a crescendo over hundreds of words and close with a flourish.

The last volume was finished by another author after Manchester died, so it isn't as good.

> the postal service in question is private and works like a private company, though the states of Sweden and Denmark fully owns it.

A "private company" that is fully owned by the government is private company in name only; hence my calling it a pseudo-government agency. Especially for a legally-privileged function that is serving postal mail.
Yes, so if he sells regularly and is in charge of decisions that affect the price - what difference does your justification make?
It's not surprising at all.

To begin with, most streaming services don't have sufficient content to justify its existence. We've been paying for Netflix non-stop probably since 2015 but the rest are a joke. Outside of Netflix, in the last 5 years at home we've enjoyed maybe 5 shows/movies per year in all the other services combined.

Then they all do crap like not streaming 4K HDR movies when the movie is available in that format. All new movies for close to a decade have been released in that format since day one.

But even outside of streaming subscriptions they fuck with enthusiasts that want to pay for movies.

Stuff like iTunes not allowing you to watch the content you've paid for when moving to another country.

Physical media is also not free of guilt. I have probably over a hundred 4K Blurays and I stopped buying those because Amazon US won't ship them to my country anymore. Local Amazon sells the same discs sometimes at 2x the price. Also plenty of manufacturers have stopped producing 4K HDR players.

It's extremely frustrating.

Prompt injection allows 3rd-party text which the user may not have validated to give LLMs malicious instructions against the wishes of the user. The name "prompt injection" often confuses people, but it is a much broader category of attack than jailbreaking or prompt leaking.

> the "personal AI assistant" is the best example, since prompt injection means that any time an LLM has access to both private data and untrusted inputs (like emails it has to summarize) there is a risk of something going wrong: https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/2/prompt-injection-explai...

Simon's article here is a really good resource for understanding more about prompt injection (and his other writing on the topic is similarly quite good). I would highly recommend giving it a read, it does a great job of outlining some of the potential risks.
Healthcare seems like one of those services where demand can never be satiated. By 1900's standards, mostly everyone in advanced economies and a significant population in other areas has amazing healthcare. But the goalposts have moved and now we expect a lot more. So we think our current healthcare service is poor.

As such, government funded healthcare will always run into tough political constraints - whether to spend 100,000$ to extend 82yo grandma's life by 6 months? whether to spend 250,000$ to improve organs (eg. knees) of a 79yo grandpa? No easy answers there. And let's not even bring in the declining working populations of the developed countries, who actually pay for all of this.

Beer is boiled, which destroys most pathogens you might worry about. You could boil plain water and be safe, but that wasn't understood until later, see pasteurization.

A vessel inoculated with yeast and other brewing microorganisms will make it harder for other microorganisms to take root. They'll be outcompeted by the large existing population. So a barrel of beer will tend to stay healthier than a barrel of water.

If someone drank say, 100oz of 2% abv beer over the course of the day, that's equivalent to 2.5 pints of 5% beer - hardly enough to get shitfaced.

Edit in response to your edit: density was lower but technology to manage density was less sophisticated as well. Providing clean water to a large population is a hard problem that people have had to solve lots of ways, and brewing is one of the solutions. Later, an infected city water pump led to the invention of modern epidemiology.
You should ask ChatGPT the following: "explain "lords and peasants""

It's a bit long to reproduce here but the gist of it is that lords had rights and privileges that peasants (serfs) didn't.

Those privileges were not based on merit (e.g. you started a successful business and made lots of money) but on bloodline or being given the lord title by monarchy.

Musk made this comment in the context old blue checkmark regime at twitter where Twitter was the monarchy (i.e. the king) bestowing status of a lord (blue checkmark) not based on objective merit but based completely on whims of Twitter. And everyone else was a peasant: no blue checkmark and no way of escaping the status of a peasant other than hoping the King (Twitter) will bestow that status onto you.

In capitalistic society some people have more money than others. What makes capitalistic society different than feudal society is that everyone has the same right under law (even if that's not perfectly implemented) and you're not forever bound to low status in society. You can go from a peasant to a lord.

I don't understand cryptography, and I don't understand the particulars of the concerns that people have with GnuPG. I do know I've used it maybe once, and it wasn't straightforward.

You wrote: "I would humbly propose that before you go telling everyone to stop using gpg, implement something that works, builds, and that doesn't break after 6 months or so."

Keybase did some stuff and got tons of users. It even had a command-line client. It was all open source, too. Is there any reason that the crypto old guard hasn't just shamelessly copied Keybase? The most important being: its CLI (the design, not necessarily the implementation) and the overall "shape" of the project organization/structure. Why hasn't gpg been "uplifted" into a Keybase-shaped "shell" for people to interact with? I.e. at both the tool level and at the collaborative project level?

RMS came from the AI lab working on Lisp machines. Despite this, he recognized that a UNIX-shaped project was the correct vehicle for his vision, given its growing popularity. Why haven't the GPG folks given up on trying force people to do things their traditional way and attached their cart to a horse that has legs?

> show ads based on preferences and never reveal or sell those preferences to a third party

That's not how modern ad markets work. Those preferences are indeed revealed to third parties, specifically ad exchanges and DSPs, as part of the bidstream data.

Now, you say, those bidstream data contain no PII! Except that de-anonymizing those data is absolutely key to targeting, and is widely practiced.

Recently in the news: "Patternz", an Israeli spy-tech company, for years hoovered up and stored all the bidstream data across 87 ad exchanges and SSPs including Google, Yahoo, MoPub, AdColony, and OpenX, de-anonymized them, and claims to have profiles on billions of users including their location history, home address, interests, information about 'people nearby', 'co-workers' and 'family members'.
