You make me doubt myself. I can't imagine stuff with the closed eyes, but when I read book I kind of can imagine stuff somewhat.
Is it aphantasia or not? Matter of degree?
Every time a parent asks me for suggestions (and they do.. a lot!) on "how can I stay in touch with my kid but not give him/her a smartphone", I suggest they switch to Apple ecosystem and get some cheap second-hand iPhone for the parent(s), and an second-hand Apple Watch 4 (or later) that has LTE and GPS. With this they can add an e-sim to the watch with unlimited minutes, and they can stay in touch with their kids 24/7, track their location, etc. Just remember to ALWAYS charge the watch when the kids get home.

I also suggest that they lock-down the settings of the kids' watch (the customisation/locking-down is very good) just add a few contacts (papa, mama, sis/bro) and that's it. Nobody else can call them, and they cannot call anyone else (except emergency services).

I know the processor architectures, but there are things in play like:

- some phones can read from the screen framebuffer, some are write only

I've read something like 7 egan books now but my math isn't good enough to know if they're any of the four you described via metric tensor (cause the wiki page on it went over my head). Surely not Incandescence? Maybe Schild's Ladder? Curious which ones you mean, a list of names is fine if you don't want to spoil anyone.

> ... it becomes a problem when the child can't regulate their usage.

That's now every child. Also, that was very much an intentionally designed effect -- it's no secret. Let that sink in.
Your 10 year old is up against multi billion dollar companies who control the very tools you want to use to curb her addiction? (No, she is... We all are.)
Many little number make big number. Mhmmm.
Regular dumb phones were useful then and are still useful, just for coordinating. Smartphone is a superset of a GameBoy Advance now. Literally kids in my school were emulating GBA on their iPhones. There are in-betweens nowadays like a smartphone with parental controls.
For everyone's sake, I hope you're right.
"My kids are fine." ... "Your mileage may vary."

It almost certainly does. People are wildly different in their susceptibility to alcohol, gambling etc. We should expect the same wild variability when it comes to social networks.
You can get pretty far with an understanding of biochemical reaction cycles, genetic theory, and protein molecular interactions.
I really wanted do take that course. I had taken the OS course where you build an OS from scratch, so this seemed like the next thing to do. The OS course was for 20 points, but the heterogeneous programming course was only 10 points. People said it was way more work than 10 points though and I ended up dropping it because I couldn't justify spending that much time on it when I had other courses to take and a thesis to write.

Here is the OS course: https://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/ifi/IN4000/index-eng...

I implemented an expectiminimax player without the neutral state optimization that you described 2 days ago: https://keshav.is/coding/pt3

It seems like even a naive search of the game tree in the browser produces a fairly strong computer opponent to a human player. It would be interesting to see if this optimization produces a better computer player to standard expectiminimax as I implemented here: https://github.com/keshavsaharia/pt3/blob/master/src/minimax...
Brexit is one of the biggest "shock" events to have happened in recent history, but little really changed in the short term for Britain. An average brit who wasn't in the import/export business probably didn't notice anything the day of, or the day after Brexit.

It's been slow, and one can argue, visible now in the long term "in the graphs". Recovery from COVID was slow. There's a creeping cost-of-living crisis, productivity has been stagnant, investment low, etc. Some might attribute this at least in part to Brexit, some may not, but the truth is, wether Brexit played a role or not, this is how it would surface— slowly, and in the charts.
> spending a lot is not the same as having large number of machinery produced

You’ve made a series of wrong, uncited claims. This is another one. (And the last one I’m responding to. You are not arguing in good faith.)

You called out electric motors. By mass and production volume, China is outstripped by Allied production.

> cheap energy is cool but Russia too has cheap energy

Much less than America production-wise. We’re counting volumes and mass, right?

> like India going to the moon at cost that would be considered pocket change in the USA

You really keep picking terrible examples to spitball on.

The SSLV’s launch cost per kg is over 3x Falcon 9’s [1][2]. American access to space is orders of magnitude cheaper and more extensive than India, Russia and China’s combined, despite massively higher labour costs and design requirements.

That said, India actually got to the Moon. Can’t say as much about Russia [3].

The solution is complete zero trust and distrusting the network in organizations. You should treat the internal network as external -- hostile. Google does this. They were the first ones to widely adopt zero trust with BeyondCorp and there has not been a Google internal organizational breach since Aurora (which made them adopt BeyondCorp, what they call zero trust).

You have completely managed endpoints, strong hardening of the endpoint and complete inventorization of all the resources in the organization. You have certificates installed onto each device. You have an ACL engine that determines whether a user should get access to a particular resource. You can use deterministic lists and also incorporate heuristics to detect anomalies (working hours, etc). All Google internal apps are internet-facing. You can open them, get redirected to the SSO portal. Come and do try to get in. You will not.

Many of these security problems are solved. You just need to implement the solutions.
This analysis found that legal online speech made up most of the removed content from posts on Facebook and YouTube in France, Germany, and Sweden.

Of the deleted comments examined across platforms and countries, between 87.5% and 99.7%, depending on the sample, were legally permissible.
Millionaires is an understatement. These were extremely rich women born into wealth who basically spend their lives dressing fancy and traveling the world. Unless you’re very close to them and in their group chats you would have no chance of knowing what they’re really like behind closed doors.
"The charts you link to show game sales that lag way behind the xbox. For example Skyrim sold 2.6 million in 2011 on the xbox and only a million on the ps3."

As you write later, Skyrim sucked on PS3 (like other multiplatform games like Bayonetta). It is not strange that it sold much less since it was a much worser game on the PS3.
I'm still as confused. Where do people even find those? Are you sure you are not intentionally misinterpreting information? Because it does seem so.

> I really think society needs to wake up to the toxicity of technology much like we did cigarettes.

That's why I'm pretty wary of some other comments along the lines of "you just need to teach your children to think of phones as tools and regulate their screen time". I feel that's like telling kids "You just need to keep it to 3 or 4 cigarettes a day."

Sure, some kids may do OK with this (I happen to think they're really in the minority), but social media is fundamentally designed to addict people. That is literally the goal of social media companies. So I'm just a bit dubious that kids, especially young kids e.g. in middle school, have the ability to regulate that.

Then all of the fracking fields that are already permitted would be fired back up and there would be low-skill/no-skill workers making 6-figure salaries again in the fields in the Dakota's.

I agree, I discovered Ubuntu around 2003/2004 when they were giving out free CDs to anyone that requested them. Once I discovered that Ubuntu was based on Debian, I started using Debian and wouldn't look back. Even if you need something that only Ubuntu provides, you can get the .deb package for it and install it yourself. I prefer relying on Debian stable if I need to maintain anything for more than a year or two (and am realistic that software usually fails fast, or hangs around for a long time). It's possible that my knowledge is dated at this point, but I always preferred working with the Debian filesystem and tools more than Red Hat/Fedora's filesystem and tools (rpm and yum). Apt and apt-get somehow "clicked" with me more than Red Hat's tools, and I even took multiple classes on Red Hat administration and general usage (although do far less administration in comparison to software development than I used to do in the early 2000's to mid-2010's).
Doing math on Matific is great (or similar activities). It's the exposure to Social Media that is the cesspool of the internet, where the kids are open to receive messages from anyone and everyone, and have the algorithm showing them every garbage under the sun.

People forget that the purpose of Social Media is to spend more and more time. "User Engagement" is the key.

The West is the moat. Ukraine’s war production is almost entirely in the West.

People said similar things about the cloud: shrink your IT staff!

That's my "prediction", anyway...
nVidia built this bubble by playing dirty on many fronts.

Their Windows drivers are a black box which doesn't conform to many of the standards, or behave the way they see fit, esp. about memory management and data transfers. GameWorks library actively sabotaged AMD cards (not unlike Intel's infamous compiler saga). Many nVidia optimized games either ran on completely unoptimized or outright AMD/ATI hostile code-paths. e.g.: GTA3 ran silky smooth on an nVidia Geforce MX400 (bottom of the barrel card) while thrice powerful ATI cards stuttered. Only a handful of studios (kudos to Valve) optimized engines for both and showed that a "paltry" 9600XT can do HDR@60FPS.

On Datacenter front, they actively undermined OpenCL and other engine by aritifically performance-capping them (you can use only one DMA controller in Tesla cards, which actually have three DMA engines), slowing down memory transfers and removing ability to stream in/out of the card. They "supported" versions of OpenCL, but made it impossible to compile on their hardware, except OpenCL 1.1.

On driver front, they have a signed firmware mechanism, and they provide a seriously limited firmware to nouveau just to enable their hardware. You can't use any advanced features of their cards, because the full-capability firmware refuses to work with nouveau. Also, they re not opening their kernel module. Secret sauce is moving to firmware, leaving an open interfacing module. CUDA, GL and everything is closed source.

On the other hand, they actively said that "The docs of the cards are in the open. We neither help, nor sabotage nouveau driver project. They're free", while cooking a limited firmware for these guys.

They bought Mellanox, the sole infiniband supplier to vertically integrate. Wonder how they will cripple the IB stack with licenses and such now.

They're the Microsoft of hardware world. They're greedy, and don't hesitate to make dirty moves to dominate the market. Because of what they did, I neither respect nor like them.
You’re going to have to eliminate first past the post for that to work. Both parties are essentially coallitions. Christian nationalists and big business, and their apologists on one side, and everyone else on the other.
A large part seems to also be the insane first past the post voting system. A presidential vote, as I understand it, is only counted against a single candidate (unlike preferential voting for example). This makes the risk of a third candidate much greater and really funnels the system into just two real candidates.

E.g. glyphosate causing cancer. Or that eating "natural" is going to make you more healthy. Or that BS factoid:

> And as a society, we see the highest cancer rates for parts of the body that accumulate toxin exposure

Or that nonsense about:

> When an animal is in its natural environment, the natural state of that organism is health.

It basically means that the dipshit author has seen animals only on the Discovery Channel.

The whole screed is basically a naturalistic fallacy with "scary" factoids mixed in.

You can look at other screeds from this author, like "Ozempic Makes You Fatter" to see the full inanity.

Any theories if this is beginning of the end of Dollar, and thus US?

This dollar=oil relationship has been used as the argument for US dominance for a long time. Or, used to explain how the US maintains dominance. And consequently, this is also used as the boogie man in many theories about a US collapse.

So doom scenario would be Saudi, Russia, China forming some new Oil market that does not use US Dollars.
Consider what those who aren't glued to the phone are actually missing out on. More than ever, kids are choosing not to go out and spend time with friends, instead doomscrolling, binge-watch tv and chat on instagram or whatever. That's not a bristling social life, but it does behave as a surrogate for one.

When kids hang outside of school, as was always the case, they usually live nearby. Notwithstanding that dumbphones and managed social media use are options, unless you think teens are all monsters (which would not be solved by phones anyway), it's not a lord of the flies situation of shunning people without phones.

I think there's a culture of inactive shut ins and we're acting like this should be cause for FOMO. I expect kids would be happier if they actually physically see some friends more regularly anyway.
Games like The Last of Us have been really big hits. For certain types of games presentation really matter.

Yeah I agree. I read the short story after having seen the movie and I thought the language/time stuff was clearly different. That's also why they changed the cause of the daughter's death from a climbing accident to an illness, because it wouldn't make sense for her to be killed by mountain climbing if her mother could have seen it coming.

Hah yea I quickly discovered that matnat[1] study points weren't like other study points. Felt like we had to do 2-5x the work compared to the students I knew going to other faculties. But in general the courses were very rewarding I feel.

Oil consumption is higher than it has ever been. Coal and gas consumption as well. Looking at new car sales to the richest class of people is probably not telling all. Oil is a great energy source. If it's not used by commuters, it will be used for other things.
Sure, I agree. Animals don't wear clothes either!

That said, sometimes you might want to take a chance and not wait for the results of an experiment to be known. ChatGPT calls this a "temporal dilemma".
My dad works in aerospace. In no field or world does anyone actually check every little part.

You create a process, you test that process so that you understand its limits, and then you make sure to follow that process.

Now I don't know if 3D printing rocket parts actually works and I have my doubts but this startup is currently testing the process and they will figure out its limits. That's the whole point of R&D.
Companies can always site next to an existing power plant. Valuing existing assets more highly can certainly help with filling the construction pipeline.

>Prophecy is a form of time travel, in which information moves from the future to the past.

No, it isn't. You're thinking in a modern framework for which only physics and information are involved, but mythology presupposes metaphysics. Prophecy is not simply looking into the future, it's being aware of divine will. The information from prophecy doesn't come from the future, but the past, because the future it describes has already been predetermined.

Look at the common motif in mythology of the king/god whose child is destined to kill them. The prophecy in these myths are always set in general terms - a set of conditions that will be met, not specific information from the future but information about the future. At no point does information travel back in time.

>How in the world did you think it made sense to respond to this:

>>time travel also features really prominently in traditional mythology and the message there is always that the timeline can never be altered by any means.

>(...) Why not read the comment before you respond to it?

I did read it. I disagree with you that anything in mythology counts as time travel by any definition that would make sense to a modern science fiction reader, unless you stretch the term to near meaninglessness. Again, it isn't a matter of the future being fixed, but of information about the future not coming from the future.

"What does the US give up not protecting the rest of the world?"

A whole constellation of mostly rich allies and friends, many of which may be forced to join some hostile power, in the same way that Czechoslovakia was forced by Stalin to abandon the Marshall Plan (1946) and later absorbed into the Soviet Bloc outright (1948).

Aren't you happy to have countries like Italy, Germany and Japan as friends? Was it better or cheaper for an average American taxpayer when they were geopolitical adversaries? I doubt that.

It's always a question of value. I'm supporting two cycling medias because i value their content even if i can (somewhat) find it somewhere else. If I'm not mistaken, in the past, the Economist even saw their subscribers numbers increase even after a price increase.

I think in order for parents to do this, they must themselves use their phones as tools and not entertainment.

Kids are great at spotting hypocrisy, and if parents are seen zombie-scrolling through Instagram for hours, and then they tell their kids not to zombie-scroll because it's bad for you, well the kids will know their parents are totally full of shit.

It's impossible for parents who are themselves addicted to smartphones to tell their kids not to be addicted to smartphones. The parents need to cure their own addiction first.
