Pre-AC being ubiquitous (or being invented), the way for people to cool off in summer was to have airflow. Insulation was a more of a cold climate thing, as keeping the heat in / cold out was more intuitive when burning wood or coal: thermal boundaries were more 'needed' when there was snow outside.

Having thermal boundaries in your structure didn't make sense when it was as hot inside (due to lack of AC) as it was outside, and it has only been in recent years that people clued into that fact. But unfortunately there's a large stock of housing around that was built pre-clue in.

Even now there are people who insist that houses need to "breathe", i.e., have holes / be drafty. They do not:

Buildings need to be as air tight as possible, and be ventilated through mechanical means so that stale air is vented out and fresh air is brought in after being filtered and tempered (via an ERV).

No, you don't develop any dependence like that. You just go back to the absolutely disfunctional state you were in before when you stop taking them.

> Building fighter jets is cheaper in low-PPP countries, but only partially.

Even that holds only true if all other things are equal. But low PPP countries are strongly correlated with less industrialization, less educated workforce etc. That's why most (low-PPP) countries, even large ones, don't produce their own jets - it's cheaper to buy them.

> Most of that is in trade currency, so no PPP adjustment.

It's non-trivial to make that cut. I'd say things PPP for stuff like food doesn't count, but PPP for even rather basic industrial products already does.

I think it's similar to how there's a lot of scooter drivers in SEA, but less elsewhere. Yes, climate is a factor, but I'd say so is culture. I think it's a lot more socially acceptable in Japan to drive a smaller vehicle than it is in the US. Kei car is also a policy, which makes these cars more attractive economically. And I think that for the same cultural reason, a similar policy in the US wouldn't work.
The EU has no legal power to legislate on issues of national security under the treaties.

Article 4 of the Treaty on European Union states that "competences not conferred upon the Union in the Treaties remain with the Member States" and "[i]n particular, national security remains the sole responsibility of each Member State".

Article 2(2) of the GDPR states that "This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data [] in the course of an activity which falls outside the scope of Union law".

Article 3(3) of the LED includes similar text (with the word "Directive" replacing the word "Regulation").

mmWave doesn't cross walls very well, what's the point if you have to install infrastructure inside buildings anyway? Plus, indeed, companies really prefer to have their own stuff, also because of reliability (what if the 5G carrier has a problem?

Stock market: investors like that companies are correcting for the over-hiring that peaked in 2021 - lower costs & higher productivity.

Aka, really sunny just as suggested.

Cooling at night requires batteries, but their cost is offset by how cheap they are to charge with excess solar resulting in positive feedback loops.

Further, AC needs to work far less hard at night as you avoid solar gain through windows etc, fewer devices are on reducing heat gain, outside temperature drop further reducing heat gain while also increasing AC efficiency.

I am curious, do we have any evidence that AI is adhering to robots.txt and isn’t ignoring it since they are not technically crawling in the traditional sense?

Yup. I love Go but they didn’t get types right. The level of abstraction is too low, and embedding and iota never feel quite right.

Rust got the basics right. Pattern matching, no nulls, traits, sum types, and the sugar around try with the ?-notation is also great.

Despite it all, this is not a dealbreaker, and Go shines for striking a great balance of a sensical language. But I always cringe a little inside when fanboys defend even the most awkward and annoying aspects of Go.

> without conspiracy loonies

The term "conspiracy theory" was invented by the CIA after Kennedy's head exploded shortly after he started to move to withdraw from Vietnam.

It was later used on people who didn't buy the Iraq WMD story.

It was used on people who suspected mass government spying before Snowden proved them right.

Recently it was used for people who thought a US funded biolab experimenting with making bat coronaviruses miles from the epicenter of a coronavirus outbreak was suspicious.

You can try to censor untrue things but censoring "conspiracy loonies" means sticking to the mainstream narratives, for that you can go on Reddit and watch CNN.

I should note that studies have demonstrated that bacteria who have been modified not to be able to consume lactose will develop mutations that allow them to consume lactose again much more quickly than would be expected given the number of bacteria, the rate of random mutations and the size of the genome. It has been hypothesized that there is a cellular mechanism to control which portions of DNA are easily mutable, possibly through a combination of chromatin structure, epigenetic modification and changes to the local chemical environment via metabolism.

This mechanism might exist in a scaled up form in humans.
> Why must the Israeli State be in Palestine?

A great question, but not very relevant anymore. Let's set aside for a minute whether Israel should have been founded in that land in 1948 - it was founded there, and it's been 75 years. There are 9 million Israelis (or 7 million Jews if you want to break it down that way) that live there now. I was born here, my father was born here, my son was born here. Do I have less connection to the land, right now, than the million Gazans who are under the age of 18 and have never lived here? More importantly, what do you propose? That all 7 million Jews in Israel be relocated somewhere else? Where? Who would pay for moving an entire country elsewhere?

As for the question itself of why the Israeli state should be in Palestine, like I said, while I think it's relevant, it is a good question. Personally, I would've chosen to locate it elsewhere, but then I don't really care about religion or sentimentality "for the land" or anything like that. Practically, I don't think Jews really had another place to go - remember, most of the Jews of Israel were either fleeing Europe before the Holocaust, or were the survivors of the Holocaust, or were ethnically cleansed from surrounding Arab countries. It's not like they had anywhere else to go.

That said, I do question your premise:

> Approximately zero Israelis have a connection to Israel that wasn't created by immigration, invasion, and conquer in the last 100 years.

This is very wrong. For one thing, you're ignoring the 20% of Israelis that are Arabs/Palestinians, but I'll assume you meant the Jewish ones. There has been continuous Jewish habitation of Palestine for literally 2,000, since the Jews were forced out. If you look at the demographic history of Palestine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palesti...), you can see that roughly 100 years ago, 10% of the inhabitants of Palestine were Jewish. And IIRC, all of them got there by completely legal immigration, not "invasion" or "conquest".
You might be tired, but there's tons of value for enterprises to only use one end-all tool. It's not personal you know.
So... Derek Jarman had a studio in one of the old warehouses alongside the thames before it became the yupified, soulless nonsence it is now. I was an artist but also modelled frequently for other artists and art schools (not unusual for a young artist).

DJ was in the process of producing Caravaggio, and I heard through a freind that DJ was looking for models not shy about being 'au naturel' in front of the camera. The shoot required that I dance naked, together with many other guys, at night around a large fire, located in an empty lot next to his studio.

I know that his Caravagio movie was in production (or development) and being openly discussed at the time and this was part of my motivation behind accepting the (unpaid) gig. However, from my single viewing of the movie, I cannot recal seeing any such scene.

There are plenty of similar scenes in his movie Sebastian, but the dates don't work out. It's concievable that he was just shooting one of his off the cuf experimental works... who knows.

The shoot itself was a bit chaotic. Most of the other guys there were gay and up for a party..., Very frisky. As a young straight lad, I was a bit freaked out, but Derik himself was a complete gentleman, and also very protective of me. Needless to say I did not return. However, I maintain very fond memories of DJ. He had a wiked sence if humour and was evidently a man a great humanity.

I do recal towards the end of the evening seeing him cry. Maybe it was because of the stress of the shoot, or maybe because of health issues (he was diagnosed HIV+ around that time but my memory of the dates is fuzzy).

He was part of a London that no longer exists... Punk, alternative, pre-yuppy. Much missed.

> If the measurement choices are not aligned, the outcomes are also random

Just to be a bit pedantic, as it can otherwise lead to some confusion: the measurement outcomes are always random.

If the particles are entangled, then it is the correlations that are not random.

Norway is the only country in the world that is filthy rich in natural resources that has somehow prevented it from fucking them up politically.

There is a big qualitative jump when one can arrange and play with UI without writing a single line of code, even if the user's decisions about component placement are recorded in a declarative file.
Intuitively the output space is much smaller than the latent space. So during training, you need the higher precision so that the latent space converges. But during inference, you just need to be precise enough that your much smaller output space does.
This is about crawling for training data by the look of things. Not sure if the CHatGPT browsing mode uses a different user-agent but most of the entries in that list look like crawlers.
These types of policy decisions are perfect for Freakonomic types. You really need to look at lots of data to make direct and indirect consequences of these policies.

Humans are not rational (As we know), behavior cannot always easily be predictable.
That's the reason why I chose to focus on Go instead of Rust after immersing myself in it for a while.

Rust invites you to aim for brevity and crafting smart solutions whenever you can. Don't get me wrong, sometimes this leads to beautiful code. It can be super satisfying to write. But there is only so much fun in reading yet another 10-step iterator method chain which works due some arcane edge case in the middle of it.

I vastly prefer reading dumb and obvious Go code. It's just easier to understand and to work with.

The point I was trying to make is that much more people need to drive in NYC and can't use the alternatives. Sure, I'm all for it - but the problems and solutions are of much different magnitude from anywhere in the Netherlands.

People in the Netherlands made it hard to drive through their cities, which led to more people not driving. In NYC it's going to lead less people driving too, but still a massive clusterfuck on the roads that will be only worse if the solution of the Netherlands is implemented there.
I immediately thought of that too. But also other influences on these reactions might be interesting to look at. From stress levels to metabolic issues including unbalanced supply with nutrients, infections, injuries. How do you remember your last exhausting argument or traumatic experience...

This is a great observation and think it isn't very well described when talking about the Peter Principal. My Dad retired as a Colonel and required a LOT of political skills. He said he wasn't really interested in the politics of being a flag grade officer and thought he was too old to learn them. Me, on the other hand, never progressed past small unit command. And never even got to the point where politics were a major part of my job. In my unit we were all just trying to not get killed and find opportunities to use the logistics training we received.

The Java concurrency package is the only way to get your multi-core CPU to share memory atomically without going "Arrays of 64 byte atomic Structures" with C.

And then you are in segmentation fault hell.

Sun had to rewrite the entire JVM in 2003 with a new memory model, later adopted in C++11 (and still the current C++ memory model) which failed for C++ because this model only works well if you have a VM with GC.

C# is just a plain Java copy after Microsoft got sued for J++ in 1998.

All other languages have problems with concurrency and threads that make them unsuitable for anything really.

So again, Java is the ONLY language/VM you can use on the server and on the client you still want a combination of C(++) and Java for performance + ease of use (avoid segmentation fault hell that no person should suffer).

If you saw bad Java code then that is not the fault of Java.
