There's a fake ass "goals" system. I was supposed to save my company $500k off of our massive cloud budget. I ended up cutting $1,000,000 by optimizing services and deleting old junk, also wrote some automation that saved us ~$250k. Still ended up receiving a "meets expectations". We aren't supposed to know but managers are told that nobody is allowed an "exceeds expectations" review otherwise it would disrupt the bonus / incentive situation which is tilting toward rock-bottom.
Both things - that the number of patents measures innovation, and that they serve to stifle it, can be true at the same time. Under a fixed patent regime, the more innovation there is, the more individual patents are necessary to stifle it. Of course, if we allow the patent regime to vary, then if it changes to make patents easier to acquire then that means less innovation.

However, it's true that this property - of being a valid measure, but interventions to change it having the opposite effect on the inferred variable - is a very unfortunate one in a metric.

> Do you really not know, or think it's debatable, that how people subjectively view themselves is influenced by their mental state / feelings / emotions?

I'm talking about looking at yourself over a period of time, and not just on any given day. You can look at yourself in the mirror every day for months or years, over the course of many different mental states / feelings / emotions.

Moreover, the fit of your clothes is pretty good objective measure. If your pants start falling down, you can be pretty sure that your stomach has become smaller. (This is actually one of the few annoying aspects of getting into shape, having to buy new clothes.)
It's made a lot of Lifenthusiasts happy, and that's not nothing I suppose.

It has also taught a lot of people a little something about the likelihood of emergence of complex behavior from very simple iterated rules.

And maybe you could say that several of the larger collaborative Life projects that have happened recently have been very good examples of non-political international co-operation, in a world that these days seems like it could use a few reminders that such things are still possible.
> Japanese has a lot of compound words of Chinese origin, where two or more kanji appear as a set.

In the original Chinese language, a "word" mostly consists of a single character. Interestingly, many of the compound words commonly seen in modern Chinese were in fact coined by the Japanese scholars during their attempts to translate western writings around the 19th century and were later "imported" back into Chinese language. Interestingly, the two examples in the article, "art" (美术) and "science" (科学) are both of Japanese origin, though one can still tell whoever coined the terms chose the individual characters due to their meaning being relevant to the concepts the words are describing.
Even in K-12 reading is hugely important. Grades 2-3 are the transition point where students go from learning to read, to reading to learn. Every year past that point where a student is deficient in reading, causes them to fall behind their peers.
This is the part I don't understand. You're saying that the interval from when the DRAM first receives a read request to when it sends the data back over the channel is about 10ns, at least in fancy gaming RAM. Ok, fine. Where is the other 10-20 ns of latency coming from? Why can't the CPU begin using the data as soon as it arrives? I guess some time is needed to move the data from the memory controller to the actual CPU core. But it seems to me (far from an expert) that this shouldn't take a full 10-20 ns. Or am I mistaken?
Is it the same people? It seems like the current Supreme Court is very much against decisions like the weird farmer one and likely to roll such things back.
The comment they were responding to never claimed it was "specific" to capitalism, so that's a moot point.
There's conjugation but it's on different axes.

One unusual feature is that Japanese verbs conjugate on politeness/formality.

There's also te- forms, past forms, imperative, "I can verb" form, "I want verb" form, "I must verb" form, causative, etc, etc.

The low number of irregular verbs is a blessing though.

A feline can make a precise jump between two points and be utterly unable to explain how it computed the force signals to send to its legs to make the jump. It probably doesn't even know force or muscles. Formal training isn't everything.
Perhaps the people who think it's goofy may have actually put some thought behind their statements and have good reasons? For example, I find the oath as written to be effectively impossible to implement- it's very lofty sounding, but depends greatly on the nature of "honesty":

"I shall participate in none but honest enterprises"

Who defines honesty in this context? What if two engineers disagree in their interpretation and come to different conclusions? The statements in this are so vague as to simply not be implementable in any sort of self-consistent way. Signing a vacuous unimplementable statement isn't integrity, it's mindless follower behavior.

Many of us act with integrity without signing oaths of loyalty.
I wouldn't really say that's untranslatable though. I feel like you could pretty easily translate something like "you are poop" into any language and explain that in the English phrase, adding "the" is modern cultural slang that means it's "the best" instead.

Or you skip all the context and just say it means "you're great", very easy translation.

> for a backup of important documents it's good

You likely know, but iCloud is not a full backup; it’s a synchronization mechanism. That helps in cases of device loss, but not in all scenarios where a backup helps.

If you have a backup, you can restore past versions of files that you accidentally modified or deleted. iCloud will happily copy such changes and deletions to the iCloud copy of your data and to other devices linked to that copy, likely before you even notice you want to go back to an older version.

To get ‘real’ backups, Apple has Time Machine.

Dropbox, depending on your plan, allows you to restore older versions of files for 30, 180, or 365 days (https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-older-versio...)

MacOS has a ‘Versions’ feature that in theory is similar (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh40710/mac), but isn’t supported by all applications.

The first point I had was that

> Even though much of the actual conflict here is a reaction to males demanding to use female spaces. Any sexism against actual women in this context is disregarded and discarded.

is not true. Being trans of any sort is under attack from the right, see: recent laws in Florida. Calling other people unnuanced while saying this is silly.

My second point is that arguing specific controversial details is a losing battle. Like any group, the left has differences in opinion. I don't want the battles to be infighting about details while we're losing the war.

I have some complicated opinions on this but I'm not going to say them here because that's not going to help anything.

I say this only to clear up the misconception that the left is unnanced in general. Sticking to easy slogans is what works best in hostile online flame threads and if that's all you're looking at I can see why it could come off that way. But if you talk to someone in a friendly noncombattative way I think they will be more likely to share more subtle takes. That's all.
Anecdotally speaking, my spouse is from China and she thinks it was easier for her to learn Japanese than English despite learning English from a young age and not having any formal Japanese education until college by which point she was already fairly conversational in Japanese from having watched variety shows and anime. We met while I was studying Japanese at college so I have a pretty good idea of where her Japanese ability stands.

Another anecdote, a Chinese friend of mine from college just passed the N1 with a perfect score. His Japanese education consists of a few classes in college, anime, and video games. He says although he thinks his English is more fluent due to him living in the States, Japanese was easier for him to learn.

Point being? I think it’s subjective.

Kudos to the Quanta Magazine writer and staff, such a well written article for layman understanding.

This make me wonder on the connection between 2, 3 and 4 dimensions, and Hamilton found out the hard that you need 4 numbering system or quaternion, in order to properly represent 3 dimensions [1].

This article hinting a direct connection between two and four dimensions, and the interplays between the two but not 3 dimensions and it seems to me that the 3 dimensions exist only as a curious transition.

Recently someone come up with the equivalent of complex number analytic signal (an indispensable tool in modern engineering) in the quartenion space and called it quaternion embedding, or probably the better name should be quaternion analytic signal [2].

It is great to see the synergy between Topology and Group Theory as the article mentioned in solving some of the the former's list of problems and their new found solutions. It looks like the topology group is rapidly cleaning their house as the article aptly put it, and at this rate (after 30 years of winter hiatus) we will probably see the results spilled over to the applied math fields for examples physics and engineering applications.

Yes, a children's fable about the hypocrisy of economic revolutionaries and governmental incompetence is truly analogous to social relations in a specific industry in modern day America. Astounding. One would be praising with faint damnation by saying at least you didn't namedrop 1984.

> In contrast, the Quine definition of ordered pairs, defined in definition df-op, is type level. That is, <. x , y >. has the same type as x and y

How is that not a problem? The type of a set needs to be higher than its elements to prevent the construction of a set containing itself. If a tuple is the same type as an elements, then can't you construct a tuple that contains itself as its first element, i.e. "x.0 = x" is a stratified formula so x exists.
I like in Ada's type system in that I can do constraints such as "type Positive is Integer range 1 .. Integer'Last;" to give me a number that I know must always be in the positive range of an integer, and it's easily readable in plain text.

From what I have read, trying to do something like "type Element is Integer range 100 .. 1000;" in rust requires something along the lines of

struct BoundedU16<const MIN: u16, const MAX: u16>(u16);
impl<const MIN: u16, const MAX: u16> BoundedU16<MIN, MAX> {
pub const fn new(value: u16) -> Result<Self, BoundError> {
if value >= MIN && value <= MAX {
Ok(Self(value))
} else {
Err(BoundError(value, MIN, MAX))
}
}
}
I think they meant there is only one syllable per character.
Yeah, planets are puddles.

It's also easy to forget the brown-dwarf-hot body inside the Moon (and the star-hot one beneath our feet). Thanks to the rock insulators between us and them, and our universal heat sink. A disassembled Moon exposing mantle material... even with T^4 blackbody energy scaling, a bolide rain a year later very won't be a problem for humans. Comparing lunar mantle with Sun, say 6x cooler, 390x closer, and say <10x angular smaller - 390^2 beats 6^4, leaving what, a new 100x "Sun"?
Every point in the sky is on a possible orbit (or on infinite orbits?), so you are not really reducing the problem space.

Our planets' orbit do tend to be somehow aligned, so you could make the (possibly wrong) assumption that the 9th planet is also somehow aligned. This might reduce the search space by 50%+.... but even then you'd still be several orders of magnitude off by the precision needed to go looking for it.

Portuguese has something like 50 different verb endings, Wikipedia tells me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_conjugation

In reality few people use half of these, I would think

My favorite bit is that "to be" is two different verbs entirely in Portuguese, "ser" and "estar". Both Italian and Spanish also have this distinction, but in my (admittedly limited) experience with those languages, neither really makes the distinction as clear as it is in Portuguese
I was listening to Brad Gerstners podcast in which they were talking about Teslas per mile insurance cost being many multiples of “normal cars” and how that affected the chances of robo-taxis in the near future.

I don't speak Spanish so can't judge your translation, but I know that "you're great" and "you're the shit" feel different. The simplification drops a lot of implicit information and social signaling.

It's that emotional and cultural baggage layered on top of words that's hard to translate.

So for example in USA you can call someone "a benedict arnold". As an immigrant this means nothing to me. People tell me it means "bad". I understand the words, but there's no impact behind them because I lack the cultural background.
