> I always find it interesting how knowledge makes it hard to comprehend the difficulties other people have.

Once the mind had bootstrapped itself to a concept, it is very hard to empathize with your past self unless you took cares to document the difficulties while still in the confused state, articulating as much detail and as many fallacies encountered as possible.

I always liken it to Wittgenstein's analogy -- don't throw away the ladder after having climbed up upon it!

Slavery is not competitive, so you can compete by continuing to not do it. (There are countries with near slavery like the UAE.)

Oil is a bad metaphor. Those "dry" wells are only worth it once the price of oil goes up, that's what they're waiting for.

Food doesn't seem to have anything similar. If you could make more profitable food _right now_, there's nothing stopping you, no reason to wait.
That's pretty much the idea, that governments have a monopoly on the use of force. The last 80 years have been unusually peaceful by historical standards. My guess is that the crumbling of governments will lead to more human deaths.

I love these sorts of of things. I was fortunate enough to have this fact mentioned in my stats book in undergrad, and later when I was in Dublin and touring the Guinness brewery, they had a small exhibit on Gosset (although Gossett was actually based out of their brewery in England). Another fun fact that I learned in organic chemistry was that Alexander Borodin (the Russian composer who composed "In the Steppes of Central Asia" and "Prince Igor") was only a composer in his spare time and was actually professionally an organic chemist who was the co-discoverer of the aldol reaction

I think part of the trick is that LLMs actually do a lot of impressive "intelligent" thinking /but it happens during training/.

So if you leave the training time annd expensive out, it looks like it's a lot cheaper to produce intelligence than it really is.
What DIY batteries? Have you considered the new sodium/aluminum battery type? I am wondering if that battery could be easy to DIY because sodium and aluminum are cheap and available.
"Sales and Services" in this context presumably include things like transportation, housing, and dining, often covered by the same funding sources as tuition and fees, that represent a significant portion of a student's total cost.

For example, the cheapest on-campus meal plan at UC Berkeley is $6,260 per academic year[1] for 12 dining hall meals a week plus a $600/semester in credit for other food[2], and

($6,260 - $1,200)/(8 * 4 weeks) = $158.13/week

for 1.7 meals a day seems steep for dorm food, especially if we also assume $600/semester is sufficient to cover the remaining 9 meals, given that

$1,200/(8 * 4 * 9 meals) = $4.17/meal.

On an annualized academic year basis, this is

$6,260 - $4.17 * 8 * 4 * 7 * 3 = $3,457.76

less than the cost of the meal plan.

And while dining out in Berkeley at $4/meal is unrealistic, living on $100/week of groceries as a non-student is not[3], so $3,000/year seems like a reasonable figure for the net food cost of an on-campus UC Berkeley academic year.

I think the problem the Muslim world faces is that it is too often summarized by such aspects. It’s a diverse civilization with a rich history and complexities like any other. We hardly associate all of Western or Christian civilization with pedophile priests, Timothy McVeigh and Mormon cults.

One must also remember the west was hardly a Utopia for LGBT rights until a decade or two ago and to this day huge swaths of the US are filled with evangelical fanatics.

Sometimes having someone else regulate you can be helpful, because it leads to distribution of blame and you don't want to be responsible for doing the thing regulations make you do.

I’m probably being really slow but I couldn’t really work out what the pictures are actually showing. I see a bunch of yellow cables and some with steel sheathing - I’m not really sure what I’m looking at? Are all those cables laid together or are these photos of just one actual cable that has been fully pulled up and coiled?

>> perhaps AI is less like industrial automation (which substitutes for labour) and more like assembly line machinery (which complements labour)

These are really rather similar from a bird's eye view. In the second case, you complement labor and increase the productivity of an individual worker. However, in relative terms, you reduce the number of workers employed and/or increase the amount of capital used. This marginally decreases wages and increases returns to capital.

Once the dust settles - the famous "long run" - you've increased the size of the economy by increasing productivity. This results in a slightly higher wage and a relatively even higher increase in the capital rate of return, thus increasing inequality.

But then - in the even longer run - the capital stock grows faster than population, so you get the opposite trend. Capital becomes relatively more plentiful, favoring more capital-intensive production functions. This helps wages on the teeter totter.

I think the most obvious changes are going to be the increases in the relative wages (and social prestige) of jobs that are neither low-skilled nor AI-augmentable, i.e. the "stuff AI isn't good at" and might never be. An illustrative edge case might be masseur/masseuse.
Odd. Today I was on a Meet with my girlfriend and her audio kept dropping to silence when she would put the phone down and walk around the kitchen. If she spoke loudly enough it would cut back in. As if it was waiting to recognize voice versus ambient noise.

We use Meet a lot, and I'd never noticed that happening before and wondered if it was due to some setting.
> Interestingly it took until 1961 for the E61 group head to appear.

Espresso machines with group heads are ubiquitous (at least in Australia), I don't know of any cafe here that makes espresso without an espresso machine of group head design.

Now I'm curious what cafes and coffee shops commonly used to make espresso before the innovation of the group head. Maybe they didn't serve espresso and only did drip/filter coffee instead?

> > Like a ridiculously long knife with a slightly curved blade, rounded tip, and blunt edge.

Perhaps! The blade is not tall/wide like a spatula, and the handle is oriented like a knife would be, not a spatula, but... it could be!

> > Or a serrated knife with [a blade] that curves back on itself.

> If the end can also be used as a fork, then that's a cheese knife.

Maybe! I've seen a lot of cheese knives over the years but this one is unlike any I've ever seen.

My guess is that it's for hollowing something out. If so, it'd be for something that's hard to get into but isn't super tough. Like... maybe scraping all the seeds out of a squash or something.

The blade is straight for maybe 4-5" then does a ~80 degree bend to the right and then curves back around to make a full circle back to the blade, making a roughly 2" circle of metal. I'm writing this from memory, so could be off a bit.

... it's basically bent to be a question mark.

It's really not that bad, you drain the extra water in a strainer or something, and the residual water that's left mostly gets absorbed into the rice.

Many people are in horrible situations and don't get depressed though. For instance, being bombed in WW2 apparently made British people happier. Not that they are ever very happy, being British.

(Also, every person who ever lived before modernity kind of had a shitty life. Often very literally. Usually horses are involved.)
I've found this is one case where LLMs are very helpful.
The Strong Towns project cherry picks data to push a biased narrative. If looming insolvency of many American municipalities was a serious problem, then we would see that reflected in their bond yields and bond insurance rates. That isn't happening. Some cities in economically depressed areas will go bankrupt but nationwide the vast majority will muddle through and patch their infrastructure well enough to keep it working.

Some people just love catastrophizing.

In a former life I taught some intro stat courses from this book. It’s a good book for an intro course for people who aren’t going on to further stat classes, although I think for a current class I’d want something that acknowledges how statistics and computers have gotten all tied up with each other. (I don’t have any recommendations - it’s not my job to know this any more.)
I am describing the line of reasoning which connects "these photos have Imperial measurements" to "the United States is orchestrating the press release".

The keto people don't seem to talk to the microbiome people though.

Keto cuts out things that are bad for the microbiome, but the things it keeps are bad (red meat -> excessive protein and TMAO), and it doesn't feed the bacteria enough (fiber, etc).

Also, keto dieting advice is pretty universal but different people have very different microbiomes, lactose tolerance, etc.

I feel like OP unfortunately mostly misses the point of Gosset's work and the t-test, in the usual way of people taught the contemporary bastardization of Gosset/Fisher/Pearson/Neyman as NHST. The important thing isn't that it lets you calculate some _p_-value; the important thing is that it is a framework for decision-making, where you can trade off your false-positive and your false-negative rates to make the economically rational decision: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00031305.2018.1...

In this case, because it is a well-understood problem with the rates of bad batches easily established from the brewery's records of testing & drinking, it lets the brewery decide on how many 'off' batches it wants to risk in exchange for saving the cost of a certain number of test-samples. You decide you want to risk 1 bad batch in 100 for a false negative while rejecting 1 good batch in 20, then you need _n_ samples etc. And this directly translates better measurements (by lowering variance, eg. by blocking) into money: the lower the variance, the fewer samples you need to achieve any given tradeoff, thereby saving the brewery money on scrapped material or testing. The smaller the better, hence Student's inability to use asymptotics or approximations: they might be off by orders of magnitude. (He would even try to do _n_ = 2 tests!)

Or they might be trying to tightly optimize alcohol content, to avoid taxation for passing high-alcohol content thresholds, but also avoid going too low to disappoint their customers, so Student would explicitly calculate out scenarios, for example:

> Thus, Gosset concluded, “In order to get the accuracy we require [that is, 10 to 1 odds with 0.5 accuracy], we must, therefore, take the mean of [at least] four determinations.” The Guinness Board cheered. The Apprentice Brewer found an economical way to assess the behavior of population parameters, using very small samples.

(If you're thinking this sounds like a very subjective-Bayesian decision-theory thing to write, you are right, although Student would have rejected that, like most statisticians, and emphasized that he was dealing with populations with known base rates, and so nothing Bayesian was necessary; it was just a frequentist decision-theory approach.)

So I often read on here that tech is just making things better and cheaper. We’re surrounded by praises for progress. It might be true that tech is important to making things accessible for all however, we seem to have more tech than ever yet the prices of everything are skyrocketing.

So what’s the cause? Corruption ? Climate change ?

Is it a misapplication of technology at a scale where we’ve damaged soil and the climate so food is just too hard to produce ? A combination of everything perhaps ?

This is social media bias. Homeownership rates in the US are fine except in a few coastal areas, but those areas are where all the influencers and journalists live.

Also, the US is extremely not in a recession and currently has the strongest economic performance in decades or ever. (Yes, for young people. And for poorer people most of all.) It was of course in a recession in 2008 and in 2020.

But, /other English speaking countries are in recessions/, and their housing crises are worse than ours. Part of what's happening is that you're picking those posts up because they're in English and not realizing they're in London.

I'm a bit torn on this when it comes to browsers.

We recently had a user email us that our app stopped working for them. After we dug into it it was because their Chromebook was last updated in 2021 and didn't have Object.hasOwn (which a third-party library uses) and it's not even included in most common polyfills either. We fixed it, because I hate these sorts of compatibility issues.

Nevertheless, I left a bit concerned that they hadn't updated their Chrome in 3 years. Software decays much quicker than hardware in a real way, especially with the never ending list of security vulnerabilities found every year. Theres definitely a case to be made that forcing software upgrades is good for the end user too.
