>> But somehow much of the world pretends not to notice and only does whatever is convenient at the moment (buy Russian oil/gas, do business in Russia, stay "neutral", etc). I find it incredibly depressing, I thought that surely in the 2020s our civilization would have progressed further.

> I haven't the slightest idea what point you're trying to make

This human was criticizing other humans for "pretending", but they themselves are pretending (well, technically something more like engaging in ~hallucination, Naive Realism based cognition, Meme Magic, etc). They desire and recommend that others (the members of their various outgroups I suspect, purely coincidentally) think better, but if one was to ask them to do the same, they would assert that that is a false accusation / invalid request (because their thinking "is" without substantial flaw, ~"thinking perfectly is stupid, why are you suggesting it lol", not realizing that no such suggestion was made).

~All humans behave this way (I dare you to respond, so a demonstration can be made that proves my point (though it would be fairly pointless outside of having fun, at least at this point in time)), due to the conditioning we receive from birth, and every single day of our lives, all without our realization.

I was kinda making a joke, but it is a joke in at least two ways.

Disagree, if you read my parent comment in this thread, I talk about the research going on in cancer to account for evolutionary pressure, and the conclusion they arrived at is nowhere near "do nothing".

It is instead a change in treatment protocols to aim for less aggressive treatment, the clinic in questions motto is for the patients to die from something other than their cancer by having them on a protocol that has them live permanently with their cancer under the thesis that aggressrive attempts at eradication risk a stronger variant resurging.

Obviously it's not applicabale for all types of cancer which is why it's research, and why I'm not telling anyone that evolutionary pressure is a concern here, but am simply asking the question to learn if there are similar concerns between cancer and hiv disease treatments.

That’s because Chinese cities are bigger than US counties let alone individual cities.

If you look at the list of most dense “cities proper” [1] China doesn’t even make the list because all of their cities include huge swathes of rural land. Beijing for example is over 6,000 square miles while NYC is only 300 sq mi and the city of LA is only 470 sq mi.

The US has dozens of counties with more than a million people [2] and most are much smaller than Beijing or other Chinese cities. The only city that is comparable to an American one is Hong Kong, the rest are much bigger.

A few times I've had to push juniors into new languages by having them do something very simple in a system that was written in a language they haven't learned, and the result was they found it easier than expected.

At least for juniors, I'm pretty sure the problem for a lot of them is they remember how much effort went into learning their first programming language and are assuming the second one will be just as much effort. They haven't realized how much of that effort went into general concepts that do translate to other languages, making it easier to learn more.

I think this is different, because you could include tool use in the branches. E.g.

2. For each version of the question, write python code to do the work.

3. Look at all the outputs, write an answer
This is basically what humans do with frameworks that help organize our thoughts and ensure a more methodical and complete way to think through an issue.
Internet is decentralized as in - it's divided into multiple autonomous systems under local control of the owners. Your examples are most likely about some github repo or a steam app blocked, but the thing is - that's not Internet, that's corporations that apply strict rules to their content. This is a completely different story.
They aren't fungible, but even for a high-end 512GB SSD, $200 is rip-off pricing. In fact, a top-end SSD range won't even offer 512 sizes because aside from not really being worth it, transfer-rate performance is lower with smaller chips.
We have some of these in the UK tax system, some of which are being resolved (or at least improved) but many which aren't.

Currently, if you have a child, you're entitled to a cash payment called child benefit. For a first child it's worth £26 per week and then any subsequent children you'd get £15.90 per week. However, you only get this if the highest earner's income is below £50,000. Between £50k and £60k, it's on a sliding scale, so at £55k you get 50%, £57.5k you get 25%, etc.

Side effects of this are that if you have two earners both on £49999, you get the full amount, and one earner on £60000 you get nothing. It means there's a crazily high effective marginal rate on people. If you put money into your pension, it can bring you down below the threshold again, so many people (if they can afford to) will do this.

From next month, they're changing the threshold to £60-80k over which it drops off, which is a big improvement, but the marginal tax rate effect is still there.
If you work out the loss function next token prediction, next 2 token prediction or next n token prediction, you will find they are identical. So it's equally correct to say the model is trained to find the most probable unlimited continuation. Saying "it only predicts the next token" is not untrue but easily leads to wrong conclusions.
I wonder if open (unducted) fans (if they catch on) like the CFM RISE will reverse this trend.

Banks can and will block transfers that they believe are fraudulent. They specifically train their customer facing employees to stop customers when they feel like the customer is being scammed. And people have been demanding that banks do even more to help prevent fraud.

When DFW was built Congress passed the Wright Amendment which kneecapped Dallas Love Field (DAL) to only serve domestic and immediately adjacent state travel. Personally I prefer DAL but I can see how DFW would have potentially withered on the vine if it hadn't been passed. I'm happy its finally expired though and now DAL can offer international flights.

Although now that there's a Whataburger at DFW one big argument for me for DAL is a bit less strong. When the Silver Line finally gets built, I imagine almost all my air travel will go to DFW.

Database vendors are very natural customers, because they're distributed systems for whom correctness and uptime are paramount. But they're far from our only customers! We have tons of people who are doing exactly what you describe -- running a client-server architecture or a collection of microservices that need to be fault-tolerant.

One of our theses is that the vast majority of real world "distributed systems developers" would never describe themselves that way and don't read the same blogs that all the database people do. Nonetheless, these people are writing distributed systems, and share the pain that we've all experienced. One of the most important tasks ahead of us is precisely to reach this vast "distributed systems dark matter" and explain to them how it is that we can help their day-to-day jobs.
This may come as a surprise to you but I have "religious" faith because of evidence, not lack thereof. As to how it operates on a day to day basis in my life, I have faith in God just as I have faith in my wife: it is a relationship founded upon experience and knowledge. Certainly the objection would be that that is entirely subjective, but that is where objective arguments can then be laid out in addition to my "experience" of God in my life: philosophical arguments for God, historical arguments for God's actions in time and space, etc. I am a convert and came from a non-religious background, most often seeking reasons to not convert, FWIW.
DCA and IAD have their work-load shared due to regulatory action:

> The Perimeter Rule is a federal regulation established in 1966 when jet aircraft began operating at Reagan National. The initial Perimeter Rule limited non-stop service to/from Reagan National to 650 statute miles, with some exceptions for previously existing service. By the mid-1980s, Congress had expanded Reagan National non-stop service to 1,250 statute miles (49 U.S. Code § 49109). Ultimately, Reagan National serves primarily as a "short-haul" airport while Washington Dulles International Airport serves as the region's "long-haul" growth airport.

> Congress must propose and approve federal legislation to allow the U.S. Department of Transportation to issue "beyond-perimeter" exemptions which allows an airline to operate non-stop service to cities outside the perimeter. As a result of recent federal exemptions, non-stop service is now offered between Reagan National and the following cities: Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, San Juan, Seattle and Portland, Ore.

Or was that an ironic reply?
I'm pretty sure that ASML doesn't treat people as fungible so it shouldn't be too hard to describe the relevant immigration carveouts.
Eh. As someone who used to travel a lot living 50 miles from the airport was a bit of an inconvenience but certainly one I could live with. Just took a bit longer to get to the airport. I wouldn't have wanted to live next to it.

> as well as support for strict land use regulations.

Perhaps superficially, but no, not necessarily. A large part of the NIMBYism seen in places like SF is opposition to projects that do conform to land use regulation. The entire "by-right" movement is that, if the proposed project is legal (it meets zoning, codes, etc.), then it should be permitted to build. NIMBYs opposed that.

YIMBYs mostly aren't opposed to land use regulations, either. (Wanting to change the zoning of an area, or changes the specifics of the regulations is not "against land use regulations", or treating them any less strictly.)

> there are other humans to choose from

It seems you've got your tech coloured glasses on again. Yeah, sure, you'll have 100 programmers lined up down the street. Comes with the high salary territory. But not so much in other industries. Try hiring for something like a cook. You are taking the first person that comes along, no questions asked. If you don't, you'll have nobody. And, indeed, cooking in particular attracts a lot of immigrants, not to mention many people looking to escape construction.

And who can blame them? Who wants to suffer the brutally cold Canadian winter hammering nails when you can thrill people with your culinary treats from a warm kitchen? I'm sure at some price point people would be compelled to switch over to construction – everyone has a price – but home buyers by and large aren't willing to pay that much. In fact, they endlessly complain they are already paying too much.

> I have no experience or education in the field

If you can build a house you can gain said education and experience. Still, kind of an obtuse example given the legal encumberments. It's not lack of education or experience that keeps you from becoming a lawyer – it is the supply management system. Not unlike why you aren't becoming a dairy farmer in Canada, even though I'm quite sure you could manage milking a cow just fine, you just legally can't do it without jumping through tremendous hurdles intended to keep you out so that those on the inside can maintain an artificially high income.
The idea is that 15 years is the oldest a roof should be due to the wear and tear that it gets from the harsh Florida environment. I should also mention that this timeframe can differ for different roofing materials (metal, tile generally have longer lifespans than shingles).

> Someone literate in English would also need a dictionary just as much to read academic, esoteric, or old words from a museum.

This is plainly untrue; if you go to a museum and they're displaying an astrolabe, you can read the word "astrolabe" despite the fact that you've never learned it. In Japanese and Chinese, this is not true,† and the text describing the exhibit must separately inform you of how the word is pronounced.

Similarly, if you look over your Chinese medical record, it will be full of unfamiliar characters that you need to look up by shape if you want to read them. An English speaker may not know what a biopsy is, but they won't have trouble reading the word.

† It might be true; I have not looked into "astrolabe" specifically. But for various premodern devices, it is not true.
> In every case, companies vastly want to just pay, because? Well, because they plan to re-offend.

That's one possible reason. Other reasons are a one time payment extinguishes the conflict, whereas a reporting arrangement prolongs the conflict. There's likely to be disagreements over reporting and such.
I've been left out of family and friend group chats for not having an iPhone.

Mostly I would find this helpful during refactoring where it’s normal to move some code out in to a specific function. It would also be helpful for loops, if/else, validation, try/catch since you could copy the boilerplate and paste it over the code block in one move.
What's untenable about it? The busy airport has been there longer than most people have been alive. People who live in the suburbs knew what they were getting into.
> O'Hare airport sits some 40km outside Chicago.

It's more like 25km (15 miles) to the city center and 4km (2.5 miles) to the city limits, although technically O'hare is within the City of Chicago. There's a strip of City land between the eastern edge of the airport that cuts through the suburb of Rosemont to connect to the Oriole Park neighborhood (although that might be Edison Park), on the far Northwestern edge of the city.

40km will get you to the far south side of the city, for which there's Midway.
> Most NIMBY difficulties stem from the asymmetric nature of the costs and benefits of a new project: a new apartment building, for instance, will benefit a city overall (slightly lowering housing costs and slightly increasing the size of the city’s labor market), but those benefits are diffuse. The costs, on the other hand – traffic, parking, construction disruption – will be borne almost entirely by the surrounding residents, who will thus rationally oppose it.

I have always wondered why we don't structure payments of some form to balance out the local costs of infrastructure etc. NIMBY is rational with the economics as they are; but would you really be as opposed to a local power plant if energy costs for the area near the plant were subsidized by some percentage? Balance out the local costs with a local benefit.
It's interestingly reminiscent of the Apple antitrust suit. In both cases, competition does exist, but they've bundled and tied purchases together in ways that may contravene the law.

Bulma worked for me, I could create a web site with forms and not exactly pretty design, but not a complete eye-sore and it worked both on mobile and on desktop. Just a page-reload web site with separate pages and a Python backend with some kind of python library where you write HTML in Python syntax.
