I still think you might be missing the point of Pitchfork. Pitchfork is more about the cultural conversation around media than the content of that media. Take their 1.9 review of Tool's Lateralus [1], which was very positively reviewed at the time by most people who liked metal and prog rock, and has since become one of the most influential metal/prog albums. Most reviews of the album went something like: "If you don't like metal and prog rock, then you probably will hate this album, because it is a tour de force of these relatively unpopular genres. If you like metal and prog rock, then you probably will love it." Because that's pretty much all a reader needs to know.

Pitchfork's "review" does something completely different. It isn't really about Tool's music, it is about Tool's fans. The "review" is in two parts. The first part is some odd self-referential material that regular Pitchfork readers will recognize as signaling that a parody review is coming.

Then the second part is a parody review in the voice of a sixteen year old boy writing a class essay about his summer vacation for his high school English teacher. Except it isn't about his summer vacation, it is about how awesome this album released over the summer is compared to the pop and dance music that stupid girls listen to. It is intentionally parodying the most obnoxious teenage Tool fan you can think of, who thinks he is really smart and is a fan of music only intelligent people can appreciate, when in fact he is just attracted to an aesthetic at a surface level in the exact same way he criticizes of pop and dance music fans.

The review is so utterly positive about the album, but for reasons that have so little to do with the actual music. The positive review is positive for all the wrong reasons. It is not a commentary on the music, but on the fans of the music and the "I'm cool because I listen to something underground that most people would hate" attitude. It obsesses about the drummer's specialized technical equipment. It invents some ridiculous cosmic cycle that Really Good Music only comes once every 16 years, and we have been waiting for this album since Metallica released And Justice For All in 1987.

The point of the review is that if you're a fan of metal, Tool's Lateralus is a 10.0. If you don't like metal, which most people don't like, it is a 0.0. What other commentary about the music do we actually need? So they decided to use it as an opportunity to criticize the fans. It got a ton of attention and sparked a whole wave of meta-criticism about metal and if it is or isn't appropriate to criticize an artist for their fans, which is an eternal question in criticism that we are still having today.

It isn't in direct contention, I'm not certain you're reading my original message correctly. I never made any claim about difficulty though you're welcome to show that claim to me, that is your insertion. I said that serious groups do it and make their methodology available. You're welcome to reproduce these things yourself to find fault, which you clearly do.

I will say I didn't intend to debate this point. People try to solve the problem It may not be satisfactory or meet your standards, and I can't do much for your there. Sorry and good luck.

Pitchfork was the way it was before the rise of identity politics in the 2010s. They’re inconsistent but they did document a lot of music over the past decades so I can’t be too mad at them.

Hydrazine is certainly on some satellites, but by numbers of satellites launched and by mass of satellites launched hydrazine is not on a minority of them. Most satellites being launched by mass and number are now Starlink satellites which don't have hydrazine. Even then, the second largest category of satellites is smallsats and cubesats which often have no propulsion at all or use cold gas.

A lot of these queries are only valid on SQLite (or maybe not "only" but certainly not generally available across DBMS's), including cases where the author doesn't point this out. For one example filtering on aggregates is not supported by MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle or most other DBMS's.

> If you are providing whatever is defined as legal services and are not a law firm, you will have issues.

that is a big reason why we haven't integrated AI tools into our product yet. Currently our business essentially works as a free product that is the equivalent of a "stationary store" of you are filling out a blank template and it is your responsibility what happens. This has a long history of precedence since for decades people could buy these templates off the shelf and fill them out themselves.

Giving a tool to our users to answer legal questions opens a can of works like you say. We decided that the stationary store templates are a commodity and should be free (even though our competitors charge hundreds for them) so we make money providing services on top of it.
They did the same thing to the US with Solarwinds. Which, it's funny, nobody really talks about what that is. It's what they use to spy on the public. Pretty funny stuff really, ironic.
Several data centres in Toronto (including the massive facilities at 151 Front Street West where most of the internet for the province passes through) make use of the deep lake cooling loop that takes water pumped in from Lake Ontario to cool equipment before moving on to other uses. Water is pumped in from a sufficient depth such that the temperature is fairly constant year round.
I have a degree in neuroscience. 4 years of study at a top school was not even remotely enough to be considered an "expert". For that particular field, expect 10+ years of dedicated study and acquiring actual credentials, up to and including a Ph.D.

I don't think becoming an expert in neuroscience in your spare time is a realistic goal. On the other hand, learning enough to understand basic neuroscience research is feasible. Neuroanatomy would be a good place to start. Know all the brain structures, their function, and their interactions with other structures. Know what a neuron is composed of, learn the types of neurons, and the supporting cells/structures of the nervous system.

Chemistry is extremely important, including physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. From there, physics is useful (kinematics, electricity and magnetism). In fact certain brain processes can be modeled as electronic circuits. Math (Calculus, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra) comes into play at times.

I listed these subjects out of order. For context, during my degree program, we spent the first 2 full years studying chemistry, biology, physics, and math exclusively before we even learned a single thing about the brain.

Neuroscience is a very multidisciplinary field, and the wide variety of approaches to neuroscience research reflects that.

Also be wary of "neuroscience" papers that are really just psychology papers. They tend to be light on math/chemistry, and heavy on behaviorial data.

I got interested in the field in high school after reading some books by Oliver Sacks and Marvin Minsky, two prominent former neuroscience and cognitive science researchers. You might like their books too, they tend to be more accessible to the layman.

Since you're a student, why don't you look into minoring in neuroscience?

I'm sure you know much more about natural rates of mineral deposition and erosion and the potential effects of altering them than a literal industry professional with decades of experience.
The problem is that many devices instantly spill over to the secondary Pi-Hole. And rogue devices bypass the primary altogether once they begin to get blocked for a short period of time. Having a secondary without blocking nearly negates the benefit of having the primary pi-hole, for the devices that it matters for most.
Way back this was a solid way of systems management, write a collection of packages that did things and then system config would be a matter of installing a list of packages.
Are you referring to iCloud Private Relay? If so that's expected behavior for with any DNS based ad blocker. Turning on the relay proxies your connection and your local network's DNS server will not be used. Doesn't matter if it's PiHole, NextDNS, or AdGaurd.

You mentioned 10_000 perceptibly parallel tasks so I threw together a small example - what if we had 10_000_000 concurrently executed tasks instead? This takes 1.2-1.5GB of RAM to run but it can give you a good showcase that .NET ThreadPool can take a lot of punishment and this is far from the worst you could see in one enterprise codebase or another:

var tenMillionTasks = Enumerable
.Range(0, 10_000_000)
.Select(async i =>
{
// Force the yield - this way the methods will continue the execution
// in the form of scheduled continuations (work items), so that we pay
// for context switching too, similar to a more realistic scenario.
await Task.Yield();
for (var j = 10_000; j >= 0; j--)
{
// This is an okay proxy for doing some work since the
// JIT is fairly conservative and won't auto-vectorize this
// because its computation budget is prioritized on more impactful
// optimizations like inlining, CSE, devirtualization, etc.
// (this is completrly compensated by portable SIMD API)
i++;
}

return i;
});

// Scales linearly with the number of CPU cores
var results = await Task.WhenAll(tenMillionTasks);
var average = results.Average();

Console.WriteLine($"Done! The avg is {average}");

You can try it yourself if you're interested. To do so you can get an SDK from https://dot.net/download, execute 'dotnet new console', paste the code to Program.cs and then execute 'dotnet run -c Release'. This is more stressing to the runtime and is likely more fair than another comparison posts a year ago or so here on HN where that evaluated various runtimes by having the task simply wait for a period of time. Nonetheless, you can replicate that too by adding 'var delay = Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5))' before tasks variable and replacing the lambda passed to .Select with 'async _ => await delay' to see how small the task overhead is.
They should also have a video recorder on a 2 hour loop. Many difficult investigations would have been easy if the investigators could see what the instruments were showing and what the crew was doing. And even, who exactly was in the pilot's seat!
> For example, in the U.S., clean air and water have improved dramatically over the past 50 years.

In large part through exporting our staggering manufacturing demands to poorer parts of the globe such that the localized effects of pollution happen there instead.
That's not how it traditionally worked in aerospace. Commercial airliners are such a safe mode of transportation because from start to finish there are (or used to be?) very high safety standards all around. I can't speak for what's going on with Boeing currently though. Things certainly seem to have deteriorated.

My family use apps but say that they appreciate targeted ads.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but looking at GWP figures, it seems like there's nothing listed that's below CO2. Are there really no hypothetical gases to put in the air that is better than CO2 for global warming?

So you’ve switched to the party that is blocking any effort to do something about it right now? They’re also the same party blocking funding for Ukraine, with which most of the money would be going to weapon manufacturing in the US by the way, if you care about that.

I think both parties are pretty awful on immigration, it’s crazy we still have such a broken system, and that video shows something has to be done. On this everyone can agree, so the question is why isn’t it happening?
This!

They test for dementia at the hospitals. Unfortunately these tests also say "Dementia! Put them in a home!" if they simply didn't drink enough and let's face it, hospital staff just don't have the resources to ensure everyone drinks enough.

This happened to us and we luckily were aware, gave them enough to drink on our own and everything was completely fine. No dementia whatsoever.

The term sharded into multiple different terms

Strong coder who can implement an LSTM = ML Engineer

Decent coder who can implement a recent paper with scaffolding code = Applied Scientist

Acceptable coder who is good enough at math to innovate and publish = Research Scientist

Strong coder who cares about data = Data Engineer

Acceptable coder who has lots of domain knowledge = Business analyst, Data Scientist.

If you're just a Data scientist without any domain knowledge...... then you're in a precarious career position.

How do you enforce a kid disabling the parental settings by resetting their phone, and getting caught later watching porn... how do you now deal with the parent fine them the 5,000, 50,000$?

What about for kids/parent combinations where the parent isn't technically adept and just gives the kid devices to setup as is the case 99% of the time, lots of parents have their technical kids do the tech setups on devices cause they don't have the time or desire to learn to deal with it.

The issue with laws like this are that it's not going to be a rich guy getting in trouble for his rich son watching porn, it's going to be some poor kid getting his parents in trouble because the parent was busy working 3 jobs and didn't have time to screw with their kids parental controls, and end up screwed.

Other than the general physical (walking and others but need to be careful: falling and breaking bones is a significant cause of loss of quality of life) and mental (sudoku, Jeopardy, reading news from Internet, learning a new language) I would say the most important thing is to routinely be in contact with them using remote video calls. This serves two purposes: (1) Keeps them connected, mentally alert and feeling valued and (2) it will provide you a quick way to assess their condition and notice and red flags early.

This is generally true for primary production like agriculture, however, agriculture is something less than 5% of our effort, and for the majority of our economy we have the opposite effect where economies of scale enable much greater efficiency - i.e. more or better goods/services for the same amount of labor - than it could be possible with a much smaller population.
Because its bullshit, in VA they banned porn without ID, guess what 99% of sites aren't hosted in the US, so beyond pornhub you can basically get porn easily, what next google needs to also have an ID so that kids have to login to that to filter their porn searches? Oh wait, nope that wont work because search engines can also run from other countries.

The reason things like porn aren't regulated like drugs and alcohol, is because drugs and alcohol can't be consumed with a simple google search and a click to a website run somewhere else in the world.

I agree with all the points on top. The proper instrument to do this would be banks setting up a system that lets people borrow against an illiquid asset, in this case would be CNY, but it's not anything new... (and is one proposal for how to work with cryptocurrencies). That would price in the political and market risks.

---

The last one I don't agree with. This is different from the 2008 crisis in that the 2008 crisis was primarily "internal" and for the most part zero sum --- some people gained, some people lost (kind of loosely like a long-horizon pump-and-dump scheme), and at the end things revert to the original non-inflated value.

This situation is more of an encouragement of external injection _into_ the economy. Rising prices are due to external capital flowing in (and the anticipation of more to come). Even if it were to pop, things would be no worse than a hypothetical alternative timeline where there was no bubble. And that's assuming no external capital actually flowed in, that not a single person wired money into the country. Clearly this is not true, and the money coming in is still net positive. So _in aggregate_, the economy is still improved due to the injection. Again, these gains are not spread evenly, and it may be the case again that some individuals will be hurt while others reap large returns.
