Less is definitely more. There really could be a stronger culture of moderation like there is with alcohol (one glass of wine / beer with dinner crowd). I almost gave up on cannabis until I started aiming to just barely hit the threshold of feeling it and eventually learned how to consistently land on the perfect mild buzz.

It's way easier for me to stick to moderate use and take breaks with cannabis than it is with alcohol. Dialing in dosages with edibles is a bigger learning curve though because the feedback is so delayed. I prefer smoking for this reason as well as the shorter duration of effects.

I'm using such tiny amounts, it can't be any worse for the lungs than exercising outside in a city full of car exhaust and tire particles. Or so I tell myself, ha.
I have spent most of my life with the US involved in a variety of ... "not very clear cut things" and we'll leave it at that.

It also feels like some things have shifted and there actually is a lot more clarity lately.
At least redirect (some of) govt subsidies for fossils towards renewables to build faster?
That is equally terrible comparison. It is the first new reactor in US in 30 plus years , the experience and expertise is simply not there to do it cheaply and on time .

France , India and some other countries regularly builds reactors and they don’t cost anywhere close to the cost GA had
This... our understanding of biology is way too primitive to have a meaningful mechanistic understanding of what is healthy, and what is not. Most of the nutrition advice is based on simple observational correlations that are assuming a cause and effect that just isn't there. People with high cholesterol also tend to have more cardiovascular disease, but it turns out eating cholesterol and fat doesn't actually increase risk of cardiovascular disease. People who eat a lot of fish tend to have better health outcomes, but it turns out taking fish oil does not reproduce those outcomes, and so on and so on.

Scientific nutrition is mostly just "scientism" - an irrational overconfidence bordering on a religious faith in unfounded assumptions based on observational studies, without admitting what we don't know.

I think it is reasonable to avoid trying to make decisions about diet based on this stuff, but I think ideas like the paleo diet or evolutionary nutrition make a lot of sense- eat diets similar to those that humans have eaten safely for a long time, as those are what we are likely adapted to. Interestingly though this itself is massively diverse: there are hunter gatherer societies with almost every diet composition imaginable: from artic diets that are high protein and fat but nearly zero carb, to cultures like the kitavans whose diet is very high carb and low protein. Our metabolism is very adaptable and any diet that is mostly fresh nutrient dense foods from plant and/or animal sources is probably about equally healthy.

Ironically, the stress of worrying constantly about if your food is optimally healthy, is probably more harmful to your health than anything typically considered unhealthy.

We have a very good expert in Spain

He have this old web : https://viasromanas.net/ with very good maps and this one https://www.traianvs.net/

[Traslate to english from wikipedia]
Isaac Moreno Gallo (1958- )1 is a Spanish engineer, historian and communicator.

Isaac Moreno is a Public Works technical engineer and graduate in Geography and History. He works in the Spanish Ministry of Development. He has carried out various projects to identify and study Roman infrastructure, especially Roman roads and hydraulic infrastructure. He has worked for various public administrations as a specialist in Roman engineering and carried out research on ancient technique, ancient topographical instruments and other facets related to this engineering.2

He has written several specialized books and participated, as a presenter, in television programs on Roman engineering. He maintains a YouTube channel where he publishes informative videos of his research.

If you want to see more he have this documentary serie in full english. Called "Roman enginering"

https://youtu.be/MNU40dq5B0U?si=wbpfZa5MVG5O0oMQ

For me he is one of the greatest experts in Roman engineering in the world.
> For Chinese projects we can assume that the price tag also doesn't match the actual costs (similar to French nuclear projects) due to heavy government subsidies.

Why would China subsidize a $5 billion reactor in Pakistan? That's not their MO with the Belt and Road initiative - China prefers to inflate sticker prices and loan more money to the buyer, building more economic influence.

The project certainly benefits from the economies of scale thanks to all the reactors China builds, but it hardly helps to conflate that with actual subsidies.

My arugment is basically nature vs nurture. Is the lack of will power learned or inherited.

The complex socioeconomic environmemt does play a huge role imo, the other indefensible option is the racist one. Which one is yours?
but what do you do if you don't have the key? unless it's implanted (which, https://dangerousthings.com/), I don't know that I won't lose it somehow.

I am this way as well. People do not realized that the cannibinol (CB1, CB2) receptors can be overly sensitive in some people. Haveing a lot of ATP and GTP will tend to do this since ATP and GTP sensitize all the g protein coupled receptors.

While I agree with some of your points about corporate data practices and the potential for technology to deskill labor, I'm not sure I see the direct connection with Clippy. Clippy, as limited as it was, seems like a poor example of these larger concerns.

Furthermore, saying "techies really lose perspective" comes across as dismissive and judgmental. It's important to remember that people are drawn to technology for various reasons, and many are deeply concerned about the ethical implications of what they build. Painting an entire group as lacking awareness isn't helpful or accurate.

If we want to have a productive conversation about the impact of technology, we need to avoid generalizations and engage with each other respectfully, even when we disagree.
That cost and time is less about nuclear and more about this being bespoke one-off for US with little recent experience in building new reactors.

It is like saying designing and building a single new car is costing few millions and taking years when a Corolla is 20,000 and you drive off the plot today .
Paged Out! is a free, experimental (one article == one page) technical magazine about programming (especially programming tricks!), hacking, security hacking, retro computers, modern computers, electronics, demoscene and other similar topics.

It's made by the community for the community - the project was created by Gynvael Coldwind with multiple folks helping. And it's not-for-profit (though it is managed by a company – see the bottom of this page) - this means that the issues will always be free to download, share and print.

Which is why most installations have more than one reactor on site.

Scalable Detection of Salient Entities in News Articles
The article says they are buying the time. New lines are slow to build, so while they are being built, it is possible to squeeze more from the existing lines.
It does not go for all British papers at all. Not even all of the nationals.

Probably most of the tabloids though.

The Guardian, The Observer, the FT, the Independent, and some of the significant regionals (Manchester Evening News, Brighton Argus, Oxford Mail, the Scotsman, the Belfast Telegraph etc.) have much better reputations.

I doubt there is a news publication in the world that has escaped having a toxic newsroom at least at some point.

Okay. And? I still think it's not in your best interest to do that, but I'm just some guy on the internet and you can do whatever you want. I also recommend that you don't smoke cigarettes, but I'm not going to lose sleep if you tell me you're going to do that, too.

I'm not like so many who seem to have to rationalize their choice of Linux or other free software by pretending it's actually technically better than the proprietary for-profit stuff. It's not about that.

Linux could get 10% of the battery life of Windows, have zero games, no Netflix/whatever support, and be slow as hell--I'd still choose it over proprietary options out of principle.

I want to own my computer. I don't want my computer to spy on me. Microsoft is literally adversarial to its users (Apple and Google are, too, but Apple at least has slightly different incentives that might make them less bad). Why would I invite that negativity into my life? Life is hard enough without trying to fight against a trillion dollar company for my privacy when I don't have to. It's that simple for me: I'm not inviting a Trojan horse in. But, people act like I'm some tinfoil hat nutjob. I think everyone else is crazy for sacrificing their privacy for "but Windows has a game I like".

Apologies for the preaching, but I don't know how to explain my point of view without it sounding like that!

Not quite what you are describing, but you can prevent any specific executable from ever running by configuring a "debugger" for it in Image File Execution options (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options). You add a key with the executable name and then add a "debugger" value, then point that debugger at C:\Windows\system32\systray.exe. Every time the named executable tries to launch, Windows will try to "debug" it with systray, which immediately exits so the program never actually runs. After uninstalling OneDrive this can be set to prevent OneDriveSetup.exe from ever running for example.
What would have happened if the medic didn't notice and the patient died? Would you have got the blame for ignoring it, or management for creating a situation where you had no choice but to ignore some alarms because of false positives, or the manufacturer, or would it have been swept under the rug as "the patient was having heart failure and unfortunately even our state-of-the-art medical care couldn't save him"?

All of those sound superficially plausible to me, although I have my ideas on which are more likely... Would you even do an, um, incident post mortem for something like that or would it just be a statistic?
Whereas "today 'popularizers _tend to_ promote psycheledics as a way of self-discovery..." (instead of some collectivist utopia as if this has always been the norm ). I don't buy it.
My father was in South America in the early 80's taking ayahuasca guided by Chamans way before it was mainstream. And it has always been a means of self-discovery for them (and much more). There is nothing modern and individualistic about this approach as depicted by the author.
If you have a better source of energy then build it. If it's better than the other ones will cease to exist. The "mental model" is entirely immaterial to the "market reality."
Clearly InDesign is used for print design. DTP is print design. Madness to imply it is not.

And both print and graphic designers use vector art pretty extensively. Large amounts of print/printed work is done with scalable designs for really obvious reasons.

Photoshop is not generally the final tool for a print designer; it is likely not often the final tool for a graphic designer. Things have moved on a lot.
This kind of project reminded me of the homework we had to do in uni for the "formal methods for real-time systems" course. We had to use UPPAAL [1] to verify the stability of a transportation belt with some machines doing things with some delays and other stuff.
As far as I remember UPPAAL provides also some python libraries, that can be used to make automated tests.
It would be interesting to see how Hay Day scenarios could be implemented in UPPAAL and test different approaches.
Anyway, very nice project, the article is really well written as well.

As an amateur game engine developer, I morosely reflect my hobby seems to actually consist of endlessly chasing things that were broken by environment updates (OS, libraries, compiler, etc.) That is, most of the time I sit down to code I actually spend nuking and reinstalling things that (I thought) were previously working.

Your comment makes me feel a little better that this is not merely some personal failing of focus, but happens in a professional setting too.
I think you have to split it into a page per image and then upload each page separately. That's how I've been doing it.
Feynman confused pedagogical skill with expertise in a given field. He insisted that experts could explain things. No, that's what a teacher does. Feynman was good at both and apparently had no one to challenge him on his claim that they were the same.

It's possible to be a great teacher without being an expert on given subject matter. And it's possible to have the most expertise but be inscrutable.

In the case of this quote, Feynman wasn't talking about expertise at all, but about explaining a thing with enough relevant details to be understood. Without those, a layman would not understand either.

Seriously, it drives me absolutely out of my mind. I tell everybody who listen, "Remember your users aren't software engineers who are always connected over fast reliable pipes, and program accordingly" but it's a hard problem. No PM ever wants to hear that you're spending time optimizing for no/low internet scenarios.

I've gotten burned by that "isn't really downloaded" thing a few times before too, to the point where I don't trust apps to download anymore. I just adb push files from my laptop to my phone before I go. Can't always do that though, but I try to.
Then if you are successful one day you can cry on social media about your large surprise bills.

Normally I would agree with you, but fail2ban is a Python routine which forks processes based on outcomes from log parsing via regex. There’s so many ways that can go wrong…and has gone wrong, from one or two experiences I’ve had in the past.

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be part of the server. In exactly the same way that some protocol clients have waits between retries to avoid artificial rate limiting from the server.

YouTube doesn’t care if we actually watch ads but they have a limited ability to completely lie to advertisers (the real customers for everything now) about what is happening, despite all the self reporting.

It’s tempting to just let them all spin in circles whIke me and my eyeballs leave the room. Let YouTube rabbit hole itself with unlooked for autoplays wasting their bandwidth and wasting advertising budget from megacorp. Self reporting on the total effectiveness of advertising and marketing departments everywhere will gradually hollow out budgets for everything else and then humanity returns to the Stone Age, problem solved! :bitter weepy laughter:

Due to uptick in ad harassment and general user hostility I mostly quit using it many years ago. The last use case was the long format streams of rain, static, lofi etc. but those chill vibes are now interrupted with super obnoxious commercials that are 20% louder, and sometimes literally including screams or bangs that are intended to be attention grabbing.

The internet is closer and closer to unusable these days.
I was referring to the comment above that one.

I think so, you have to pull in the customer and let them know you planning on using the adobe product and since adobe demands they have full access to the customer’s proprietary media they will have to agree to that as well. How that happens I’m not sure? Have them buy an adobe license for you to use? I guess at that point you need lawyers or their full permission to hand over their ideas to Adobe, otherwise you’re gonna be libel if it leaks/gets copied/etc

I don't see why "moronic" was needed there. Also Risc-V has profiles that group multiple extensions together for specific use cases. For example RVA23[0] which requires 64 bit and vector extension among many others. Operating systems like android can (and most likely will) specify that they only support certain profiles.[1] Lastly, ARM is also fragmented between Armv8 and Armv7 which android developers are still supporting.

>RISC-V not only isn’t that on a technical level but is fighting some serious fragmentation.

Do you have any evidence to support this? Seems like RVA23 will be the first majorly supported extension. All the "high performance CPUs" right now are just dev kits, so I don't see how there can be fragmentation in a market that does not yet even exist.

I've used them all, Mac OS most begrudgingly as needed for cross platform building and testing/support, Linux is alright (and obviously more powerful than Windows) but... just because I have programmer-level troubleshooting skills and computer knowledge, doesn't mean I want / have the energy to use the full force of that all the time for every random thing that could be solved with a simple dialog box and/or sane default. (I understand that opensource OSes don't have paid devs responsible for all this, but it is what is when I download it and try it out.)

It's true that I'm most familiar with Windows; given free choice, why would someone use an OS they dislike more? I personally think Mac OS is more user-hostile (it's a whole lifestyle and worldview they really want to sell you!) but it's comparable.

What I actually want isn't Linux or Mac OS, but a Windows-like OS that isn't so goddamn user hostile and doing stupid shit like always-listening Cortana or this Recall feature or whatever they feel trumps what the user actually wants. If there were a "Windows but actually a user-first product and not a data collection vehicle" I bet it would utterly crush in the marketplace (inasmuch as there is a viable market for OSes).
Not to mention that most of the power provided by modern PSUs come from the 12V rails. The 3.3 and 5V rails are almost vestigial at this point, no hardware actually runs directly at those voltages, so removing them would not have any negative effect.

Alcohol is definitely bad for anxiety in the long run if you are using frequently (even in small amounts). It does a real number on your GABAergic system.
As an exercise, pretend you’re a 16th century lord, or just a very theatrical person, and raise your arm with a drooping hand, then gently touch your chest with your fingers splayed and wrist at an angle. Your two fingers in the middle naturally touch first, and stay together once you lay down the whole hand, exactly like in the portraits. It’s not a straining position.

I’m also surprised the paper (?) doesn’t go into simple behavioural explanations for this.
