Let's suppose that 1 million new governments are founded, and violence still can be enforced only by the existing ones. The new governments will be in charge of ids, signatures, property ownership and reputation. Governments of Rust programmers, or Python programmers, or football players, or pool players, or truck drivers will be created.

When a citizen of Rust programmers social graph uploads code, he can prove his citizenship via his id. We may not even know his name, but he can prove his citizenship. He can sign his code via his signature, even pull request in other projects. He can prove his ownership of an IT company, as it's CEO, the stock shares and what not. And he will be tied to a reputation system, so when a supply attack happens, his reputation will be tainted. Other citizens of Rust's social graph, will be able to single out the id of the developer, and future code from him will be rejected, as well as code from non-citizens.

Speaking of supply chains, how about the king of supply chains of products and physical goods? By transferring products around, in a more trustworthy way, by random people tied to reputation, Amazon may get a little bit of competition ain't it?

> It is the lens to apply to any system.

I can point to countless instances where it fails to adequately guide investigation in biology.

Occam's razor leads to premature simplification. When the space is vast, dynamical, and unknown, it's absolutely not a tool.

Do you think, for instance, that V(D)J recombination satisfied Occam's razor when we asked ourselves how adaptive immunity worked, or how some forms of diseases such as SCID manifested?

There is a metric ton of pure serendipity in the study of biology. We're drawing new connections between systems all the time. This is just a new data point.
This is not a charitable reading. Nobody is asking for a perfect solution; it is reasonable to demonstrate some prior consideration for the ways in which most solutions are dangerously imperfect.

Printing color, especially on photo paper, would be one reason for going inkjet, otherwise I agree with you. That said, after many years with laser printers I bought about 7 years ago an Epson wp4515 (now out of production I believe) which still works like a charm; no external software is needed and it is 100% compatible with Linux.
Not sure if their newer models are that good though.
Privacy policies on most websites mean jack when they can be changed at any time for any reason, imo.

Not to mention the pattern nowadays is: offer a free service, pay a little lip service to privacy concerns, then the enshittification train comes rolling down the tracks a few years/ months later.

Not saying this site is going to go down that path but IMO giving the benefit of the doubt with regard to privacy on the internet is bad practice for 2024.
Given what HP is saying about how they want the printer business to operate, I think it's too risky to buy any HP printer at all.

> who can’t even articulate the difference between man and woman

Can you articulate that difference? Personally, I'd expect a more complete definition from a kid today than I would from a conservative adult. For example, my dad might refer to DNA when explaining the difference between a man and a woman, and he would also confidently say he's a man (I mean, he is my dad), but since he's never had a DNA test, how can he be sure? It's obviously about more than DNA. My mom might say a woman is someone who can have children, but what about women who cannot have children, are they not women? Etc.

Also, Tether would try to save face, by honoring USDT redemption at 1$ as long as they can, which drains their reserves. So if they aren't able to do it anymore, it means that they don't have anything left, and USDT is now worthless.

These things are highly non-linear and bank runs can kill a bank in no time (and tether is functionally a bank).

I did the same and I treat Haskell as a rite of passage. At this point it's cliche to say that Haskell makes you a better programmer in other languages, but it's true. You really immerse yourself in Haskell for a few years, and you become a better programmer even when you aren't writing Haskell. I'm referring to universal things like "making invalid states unrepresentable" or "preferring to parse than to validate" or "functional core imperative shell" that can work well and lead to cleaner code in any language.

(The actual reason I left Haskell was because I switched my employer. Choosing an employer is IMO a bit more important than choosing the language to code in.)
Oh hm, thank you. Is testing rolling release as well? I would like something more stable than one-week-old packages, true.

> where large portions of the population regularly travel 100's, perhaps 1000's of miles for Holidays

Pilgrimage for 'holy-days' was moderately common in the Christian middle ages, and would frequently involve journeys of more than 100 miles (e.g. the Pilgrims Way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilgrims'_Way from Winchester to Canterbury) and be undertaken by a good cross section of society including commoners (see the Canterbury Tales). Less commonly, but still not unknown, a pilgrimage might involve journeys from England to Rome (maybe 1000 miles) or Jerusalem (more than 2500 miles, e.g. Margery Kempe).

> The implied probability of Trump beating Clinton a few days before was around 20%.

Unclear if you think this is incorrect?

Obviously it happened, but most reasonable prediction methodologies put it between 20 and 30%. Notably 538 and Superforecasters (via The Good Judgement Project at the time) both had it in that range (as did prediction markets). There were some outliers - in particular some newspaper(?) had a statistical methodology that gave Clinton a 95%+ chance. In a two horse race that is obviously wrong!

I was working in the forecasting field at the time, and that seemed about right. It was an unlikely but not impossible outcome.
Great article on the WARC file format. I really appreciate the efforts of the ArchiveIt team in developing and maintaining such a crucial tool for web archiving.

I'm trying to understand why the WARC format was made the way it is. Can someone explain the main reasons behind its design? Specifically, I'm curious about:

- Why not use a regular folder and file system with separate metadata files? It seems simpler and more user-friendly.

- Why not use SQLite?
I wonder what other stuff is being unwittingly transferred during standard blood transfusions. I've seen some interesting research about the "signalling" power of blood from both older and younger donors, with the "young blood" causing a slow down of senescence in cells, and the "old blood" causing a speed-up in senescence. Any time you take biological material out of other human beings and put them in a different body, it seems like you are introducing a lot more uncertainty and risk than when you inject a person with a comparatively "simple" small-molecule drug.

The 30 minute podcast boils down to the concept of a rent ratio (cost to buy house / house to rent house for a year).

> I was interviewing Mark Zandi, who’s an economist who’s been looking at housing for many, many years. And he said, right now, with current interest rates, he thinks the break even point is about 18. If you can find a rent ratio of 18 or lower, it will often make sense to buy.

> Now, spoiler alert, you’re not going to find a rent ratio of 18 in just about any housing market in the country because housing is so expensive right now. And that’s part of the reason why, for so many people, it really does make sense to rent right now.

Essentially, buy if { cost of buy }/(18*12) < { cost to rent/month }, otherwise rent.

> According to data from the National Association of Realtors, the median price for an existing home — one that's already standing, not new construction — was $387,600 as of November 2023. - bankrate

For the average US home price of $387,600, the recommendation would be to buy if the rent is more than $1794/month.
How Surveillance Is Changing Our Most Intimate Relationships
I understand the point you're trying to make with this (social media will definitely abuse the additional knowledge/opportunities they get by having compulsory credit card info), but chargebacks are actually a pretty effective incentive against this. Given that chargeback fees are ~$20-$100 per incidence, you'd only need 5% or less of users calling out the social media site's false charge for that company to be netting a loss.

I would relish the opportunity to cost Facebook $20 because they gave back a couple cents less than they should have.
I would never recommend this methodology to a friend or a family member. Drivers are vindictive, violent people and the risk is too high to be worth it.

Still, I appreciate the people who do it.

Can’t you make a definitive diagnosis from an autopsy. Could be that multiple diseases lead to the same findings in the autopsy.

While someone is alive a diagnosis of Alzheimers is more of a diagnosis of elimination. There are several drugs that can be used to slow the progression and I assume that those have a role to play in solidifying the diagnosis.
PredictIt and friends were fun when:

- money was cheap (low interest rates)

- bets were short-term

Otherwise, the profit-share demolished gains as a de-facto trading fee. Plus you could only make money on a few hundred at a time. I did some of the cheap bets that were mispriced but also some more obvious ones. A few multiples on the money, but it was too unwieldy to play it. The politics ones are easy. People like to bet on the outcome they'd like to occur rather than the one they think will occur.

I understand, though. I find it hard to bet against Arsenal. Just seems like a miserable way to live.

I think you're misunderstanding slightly the utility function of the logical device here.

It's not so much that we cannot analyze a complex system using this criterion, it's moreso a tool that allows us to identify a logically tenable pathway for investigating a specific element of reality.

For example, a poster above noted that I was misapplying the razor because he went one level below where I was analyzing. He's not necessarily incorrect, and neither am I.

You interrogate reality at multiple levels of magnification, which is why you don't need to know how genes specifically work to know that they work and make predictions based on their prevalence, for example.
That's the protocol for the computer, similar to oauth.

Better non car infrastructure would be nice in the USA… I think the two main reasons it isn’t really happening are relatively low population density, and an unfortunate cultural aversion that sees public transit as “low class.” Most dense/big cities in the USA do have fairly decent public transit and are livable car free.

You can try it with Sourcegraph Cody. https://sourcegraph.com/cody

And instructions on how to change the provider to use Ollama w/ whatever model you want:

Install and run Ollama
- Put ollama in your $PATH. E.g. ln -s ./ollama /usr/local/bin/ollama.

- Download Code Llama 70b: ollama pull codellama:70b

- Update Cody's VS Code settings to use the unstable-ollama autocomplete provider.

- Confirm Cody uses Ollama by looking at the Cody output channel or the autocomplete trace view (in the command palette).

- Update the cody settings to use "codellama:70b" as the ollama model

> """This product does not meet California air cleaner regulation requirements, and cannot be shipped to California"""

From your description, it sounds like you are referring to a product that is advertised as an air purifier in spite of not offering any assurance that it actually purified air at all.

California has set a low bar on what can actually be claimed to be an air purifier and sold as such. Your example product failed to meet that bar. Therefore, it cannot be commercialized based on claims that it has not backed up.

Sounds to me like society is working. Snake oil is not excusable in this day and age.

Do a Cmd+F for "stupid" on this very post. It may not be the prevailing sentiment, but it certainly occurs here. Maybe just a very vocal minority.

Predict it has something like an $800 maximum. That's simply too small to get a PhD to quit his day job and start trading on prediction markets for a living. Until the market capitalization can attract experts, it will not reflect the opinions of experts. This seems to be a bureaucratic restriction. Why aren't the big exchanges creating order books for these markets?

Only for random access. The compiler will hoist bounds checks out of more regularly-accessed loops (when the inlining is right).

In fact, given that the top safe result was very close to the top unsafe result (especially considering the standard deviation), it looks like you need to write truly exceptional code to feel the cost of the random-access bounds checks. So it doesn't seem wild at all that the default is to give everyone safety at the expense of a performance cost that will only be felt by very few (and who can then enable unsafe code if they feel they need that last extra boost).

>I wonder if other companies that want to fight unionization should do similar: hire top performers and pay them well :)

I mean this also applies to the rest of Walmart, or at least it did

In high schoool and college (98 through early 00s) at age 16 I initially worked at a local grocery store chain that was unionized making minimum wage. They went out on strike for a month and came back to just a ten cent raise. Not long after that I went to work at Walmart making about 40% more, with a 10% discount on anything I wanted to buy in the store

Working conditions between the two were not much different, both were pretty transparent on scheduling, job duties, and the like

Now, I'm pretty left wing and I support the right to organize without any restriction, but I probably would've voted against a union if the UFCW had come to my Walmart store asking for signatures based on my prior experience with them

Does that mean unions have a place? Absolutely. We would not have the meager protections we have today without unions, and they serve a deterrent against employers running amok, but yeah treating your employees somewhat decently is plenty to keep them at bay
