Thanks for your response, going to play around with your API in the next few days. This sounds like its exactly what we've been looking for.
Off the top of my head I can't think of a single example of any actors that come across as an "off-brand" version of someone else. What are some of the examples you have in mind?
Scoping module references has been a pain point in ruby since 1.0. Glad to see the community producing some solutions to the issue.

Curious to see how Namespace will work in practice with all the metaprogramming that's so common in popular Ruby libraries. I can also see this enabling applications to use multiple versions of the same library or module, for better or worse.
Two other data points: I had the note 9, and the button wasn't customizable (you could disable the app and tweak some other things to keep the button from doing anything, but you couldn't remap it, that was new in the note 10.) And having upgraded to the S24 ultra... there's no button any more, just power + volume. (As shipped, the power button does some bixby nonsense, but it's a couple of clicks to make it do power again, and camera on double-click, like it did on all of the previous models.)
Recognizing someone has everything to do with hours of exposure. Which is why people are better at picking their mother out of a crowd rather than a random person who they were shown a picture of once.

I'm beginning to wonder if you've ever considered your interactions with other people, or if you're just making this up as you go along.
We also seen and heard things like Naryshkin's astonishment and Joseph Prigozhin's phone discussion, and other things since then, which may suggest that elites don't really see a good short-term alternative to what they keep doing.

No man rules alone, but Joseph Stalin kept updating the closest circle for decades, and recent changes in federal government show that some thought previously unassailable can suddenly move with noticeable reductions of abilities.

The problem isn't cannabis, the problem is how it's dosed and flavored. Edibles are too strong, and taste too delicious.

> but give 100 random people a super strong edible, a few will have a break from reality

Give 100 random people 10-20 shots in a short period of time, and they will also have a break from reality.

The difference is that hard alcohol has a very clearly identifiable taste and causes stomach discomfort: If a child mistakes a glass of whiskey for a glass of apple juice, they aren't going to chug it.

In contrast, cannabis gummies (which I eat plenty of,) taste wonderful, and are often too strong.

When I made my own brownies, I would only have intense experiences if I ate a lot. In contrast, what appears to be a "normal" bite of a chocolate bar, or a handful of gummies, can end up being like an LSD trip.
Much of the forced and child labor used in solar panel production, mining, and transport, as with everything else in China's production systems, goes completely unacknowledged and unaccounted for in these navel gazing expeditions.

With all those corners cut to mass produce cheap materials like batteries and solar panels and computers and so forth, China is able to undercut production that utilizes ethical and sustainable production. I don't think you can look at China's production "costs" as legitimate data, and the problem doesn't seem to be one that anyone outside of China will ever fix. The extent of the influence the rest of the world has over the problem lies entirely in our ability to not do business with China.

When you look at all the savings you get when buying electronics and solar panels and infrastructure related products coming out of China, you're getting a human suffering discount. I don't think it's a good thing to include those numbers when considering long term things like fossil fuel dependencies and so forth - let's not bake in the human suffering discounts and at least try to price in human rights and humane labor practices.

It turns out a lot of things are way more expensive when factory workers and shippers and everyone in a supply chain get paid fair wages and work fair hours.

This isn't to say anything in favor of fossil fuels, I just think the immediate plight of China's factory workers might be an important factor relevant to the actual costs in play.
I am not worried. History likes to rhyme and I think China will do a switcheroo on Russia and align itself with the West for the purpose of dismantling Russia's military and industry, just like the Soviet Union switched sides from being an ally of Germany in 1939 to working with the Western Allies on breaking Germany's neck. The West will make some concessions, but they will be seen as worth the price of breaking Russia up.
> This is the norm for many languages. For example, French is prescribed by…

Prescribed to who? Is it typical for French speakers to consult Académie Française before using slang, or inventing a portmanteau, or using other colloquialisms? I doubt many French people care much about the opinions of Académie Française, unless they’re actually trying to enforce the authority they believe themselves to have in some way.

The authority these institutions claim to have is almost always based on the same set of delusions. Some people care about this sort of formalism and will hold them in high esteem. Most people won’t care about their work, or will (I would say rightfully) see an institution like this as attempting to usurp authority over their language. Because a language doesn’t belong to any institution, it belongs to the speakers of that language, who are free to (and typically do) use it in whatever way they feel conveys what they’re trying to communicate.

The only time I’ve ever seen a language authority being widely valued by its community of speakers is where use of the language itself becomes a political issue, like when a mostly dead language is being revived, or when one camp strongly values the use of a language as part of their identity because some opposing camp has a different language.
I personally don't get it. You can start on GCP today, without being tied to GCP much at all. It isn't even expensive to do so. Is there something I'm missing here?

Cloud Functions are just a http handler with no hard dependencies on GCP.

Cloud Tasks are just a handler and the tasks just hit your Cloud Functions.

Cloud SQL is just postgres.

You connect your github with actions that CI/CD auto deploy to the above.

If you do it that way, you're pretty much dependency free and can move anywhere else if you need to.

Potential benefits of car paint: Cooler cabins, emission reductions
I honestly don't really care. I don't use it much. I'm far more likely to bring a (paper) notebook with directions, and that's been working well for me with overview maps beforehand. Yes, it's exercising mental stuff I hadn't used in a while, but it's been worth the effort and occasional "... wait, where am I?" to regain those skills, I think.

I've considered pretty hard picking up a standalone TomTom unit to have newer maps on - the car's maps are a decade old and this is at least occasionally a problem finding newer subdivisions, but I can get close to where I need to be and follow my hand-written directions the rest of the way.

New cars are... a problem. I don't want (rather, "won't buy") a "connected car" sort of thing unless I can disable the cell modem entirely before I leave the lot. I do not want a cell phone on wheels, and this is unfortunately what the automakers seem to have decided to ship, complete with "Buggy? Don't worry, we'll patch it later!"

I'm probably good for about a decade on the current fleet before this becomes a pressing issue, and at that point, hopefully either the absurdity will have subsided, or I'll just do my own work on older vehicles or an EV conversion on some classic chassis. Toyota, at least, seems to have a path for "Seriously, turn off the cell modem..." and a few other cars have a fuse you can pull to kill the cell modem and a few other things. I don't mind if I kill Bluetooth, as long as there's an aux-in I can hook something up to (even if that's a little standalone BT receiver as I have in the car now).

(Also not a physicist). GR works and has been tested experimentally on a large scale, but it doesn't always work on a small scale. QM works, has been tested experimentally on a small scale, but it doesn't always work on a large scale.

They just give different predictions in some very small or very large cases. Obviously they can't both be right: if one theory predicts A and the other theory predicts B then we can just do the experiment and one of them will turn out to be wrong. Unfortunately, they only differ in extreme circumstances that are hard to recreate, and we were not able to perform an experiment that will tell us which is right (or how to tweak them to make them compatible with each other).

Fun fact: There is a thing called a cosmological constant problem. It's the disagreement between the observed values of the cosmological constant (using GR) and a theoretical value suggested by QM. The observed value is... 10**120 times smaller than QM predicts it should be [1]. Now this is what I call a fundamental incongruence :).

[1] This is also called "probably the worst theoretical prediction in the history of physics".

SyslabCC: Suzhou-Tongyuan 's proprietary Julia AOT compiler
As one of the beta testers, let me just say that I really like this device. It's very different than a kindle, kobo or reMarkable in that the refresh rate really makes a big difference. When I show this device to people, I show them how quickly zooming in on a PDF is. It's way faster and more responsive than any e-ink screen and it's way less addicting than the typical laptop, phone or tablet.

I'm attempting to make this device my main driver over the next few months and while the ecosystem isn't exactly mature yet, most android apps just work out of the box and I've found myself doing a lot more reading, either through an e-reading app (Lithium), PDF reader or Instapaper. I have X, Primal, Telegram and many other apps installed, but I don't go to them nearly as much. The device really is a lot more human centered and it makes for a much more intentional device.

Saying that some law or principle works in one context, so it can probably work here or that some country did X so we can do it too doesn't really account for many of the nuances.

Solar panels aren't equally effective everywhere on Earth and some countries or parts of countries are just in different places on Earth. They're also not equally effective in all kinds of weather and some places just have worse weather.

You would need a huge oversupply to be able to reliably redirect energy to areas that are underproducing through long distance high voltage transfer lines, which are not perfectly efficient and lose energy along the way.

What if night time comes, as it tends to? What if a huge weather event blankets a lot of the country for a day or a few days? What if a volcano erupts somewhere and darkens the sky for a while?

Batteries, you say! Batteries have their limits too, and they were even worse 25 years ago.

Solar panels and batteries weren't simply about reducing costs and increasing supply, they were also about performance, how much land you need, where the land would be, managing adverse events, handling dips, efficiencies, creating jobs, projected innovations (where are we relative to where we can be), etc.

In another context, if you send food to poor countries that can't produce as much of their own food and the population starts increasing far beyond the resources of the land, you have a country that's even more dependent than it was before and risk terrible famine if a supply chain breaks down.

If the government had artificially pushed for the production of massive amounts of solar panels and batteries, it could make too many people dependent on something less reliable. When the government funding dries up for it, much of the demand and jobs can dry up too if the demand isn't naturally coming from the market.

You could also make the argument that if we had pushed so hard for crappy solar panels back then, it could have failed and soured interest in it even a few decades later. This could apply in the political sphere or even among the population who have memories of being stuck with crappy panels and all the problems they experienced. So if you really believe in and want solar panels to succeed, being too extreme about it too early can potentially be worse rather than better regardless of these cost principles.

The question has to be asked if something is truly effective altruism when assessed across the full cycle and span of the problem. I don't even know the full cycle or span of the problem, these are just outside observations. It's probably even more complicated than this.
As an intermediate step to electric, I don't know why we couldn't have gotten by with smaller, less powerful engines. Our huge vehicles are so wasteful. Simply putting vehicles (across the board) on a massive diet in a short span of time would have made a huge reduction in fossil fuel use for transportation.
> there are plenty of actions that are fundamentally impossible to undo, such as sending an email.

That's just a lack of imagination. Gmail and others allow undoing a misclicked send no problem. In cases it doesn't matter to the user if the action in practice doesn't happen exactly immediately, delaying it a bit while instantly providing feedback in the UI gets you the best of both worlds.

Even if it wasn't the case that PV's could have replaced fossil fuels back then because they weren't advanced enough nuclear was more than capable of doing so and readily available. Indeed investing in various different types of reactors might very well have produced a similar curve of progress and finding ways to make them less dangerous and requiring less regulation all of which would have sped up deployment and reduced the cost.

We will never know, we just know now that its cheaper to do solar and power storage than nuclear.
