The article mentions Star Trek and Vulcan mind melds, which continue to be an important element of the franchise today, but misses a more obvious case: there was a lot of ESP and telekinesis motifs in the Original Series in the 60s, that were severely toned down or outright abandoned by the 90s. For example, you don't hear much about Gary Mitchel anymore, except for that one episode of Lower Decks.

Also, I think a lot of sci-fi shows had direct ESP references before mid-90s, then the trope suddenly died out.

It's very hard for that to sustain over decades without causing market distortions. I'd be interested in what is the longest run of above-market returns by any company since the 1870s.

In effect, if they accrue enough value, then they alter the average rate of return. And, since that sucks capital out of the rest of the economy, we're kind of fucked overall because companies making tinned peaches and medicine actually need capital, and a good rate of return depends on that capital.
I'm legit not seeing where that is. You say some games, or "game protocols" require client-side protection... why? Just saying it's the only way doesn't explain anything at all. You have confusingly tried to give me examples of... anticheat mechanisms that rely on the total control of some hardware. I know those exist? That's not what's in question.

Maybe your only experience developing these things is with a specific set of tools, and those tools require that? I'm sitting here trying to parse out anything that looks like a rationale and I just can't find it, just more "This is the way it is. This is the way it's done". I know that already. I am saying it doesn't have to be. You're not engaging with the question in any way, just getting upset with me for not conceding that you're right and trying to insult me about it. "I looked up your post history and I see that you argue with people here a lot". You got me I guess?

If it upsets you so much to have this argument, you probably should disengage from it, but I'm genuinely baffled by the whole thing.

The Great American Poisoning
I definitely remember a grocery store I went to years ago was going out of business. Asking the cashiers only said "nah, not happening".

But the shelves were getting bare. there was space around cans and bottles on the shelves, and there were a limited number in each row.

It definitely gave you a feeling of impending demise. That the store was sad and unhealthy, and that prosperity was limited.

also, all of this stuff also works in casinos, where every part of the design is carefully chosen.

Nonprofits have to do that if they engage in commercial activity for tax reasons. You can't just group whatever activities you want under a nonprofit and make all that money tax free. OpenAI had to split it off as a for-profit once they had a product to sell to the public. The nonprofit didn't "turn into" a for-profit, the nonprofit owns the corporation.

Mozilla has the same structure with a for-profit corporation owned by the nonprofit, which allows it to take Google's money in exchange for default search engine placement. Likewise with Wikipedia/Wikimedia, Newman's Own, and so on.

> So if you're a cis man, try to imagine you were a trans man; born female, raised a girl, expected to conform to your local female beauty norms, be expected to bear children, less body hair and muscle mass, curves in places unfamiliar to you, flirted with by men, etc.

Is it weird if I suspect that it wouldn't bother me? I'd have been raised from birth to expect those things so they wouldn't be surprising to girl-me, and the experience of having more body hair and muscle mass would be entirely foreign to me. If men flirting with me was off-putting I'd probably just assume I was gay, and I'm lucky enough to live in an environment where I don't have to buy into or perform traditional gender roles any more than I want to. It's probably easy for me to say, having never a experienced a mismatch, but any intrinsic sense of inner maleness that wasn't 'nurtured' into me ranks pretty low on the list of things that comprise my self-identity.

I remember the first time hearing a coworker was getting a PIP without knowing what it meant. I thought the description sounded awesome. “He works with his manager to find ways to get better at his job, level up his skills, and maybe get a mentor? Sign me up!”

PIP is such a bullshit term. Their “official” description sounds like a great thing that all employees could benefit from. If a company waits until the last moment to give their struggling employees the kinds of tools they should be freely offering in good faith to everyone, then they suck.

> It just seems so obvious today that you can create gates, you can create macros, you can create complex designs, and you can define the interface at every level so you can hook them up and they just work. That idea came out of Conway and the early pioneers of VLSI.

And you can see the opposite of this in many early microprocessor designs, like the (original, NMOS) 6502 and Z80. There's a lot of highly idiosyncratic designs for gates, heavily customized for the physical and electrical context that they're used in - and I won't deny that they're often very clever and space-efficient, but they were also extraordinarily time-intensive to design, and weren't reusable. It made some complex designs possible within the limitations of the time's fabrication technology, but it wasn't an approach which would have ever scaled to larger designs.

One great example of this is this bit of 6502 overflow logic:

I'm glad to hear about those internal processes, but I guess the key point of difference is that in apple's case, the measurements of the firmware are provided and verifiable externally.

Although in the end, I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, as ultimately, even with measurements of the whole stack, the platform provider if compelled to do so, can still push out a malicious firmware that fakes it's measurements.
And when you combine that with recent studies that show a correlation between autism and gender variance[1], that might provide some insight.

[1] See e.g. <https://behavioral-innovations.com/blog/exploring-the-inters...>.

Yes, but only because you can overcharge rents to people who can't afford housing. If everyone could afford housing, it wouldn't have any return.

The return on housing rents is equal to the minimum (psychological) expectation that landlords expect. It's an arbitrary vig/rake, and like all arbitrary vigs/rakes, it's around 5%. It's an expected gift for owning the house. It's a gratuity for being wealthy enough that you're never forced to buy or sell.

An aside is that this rate was set in one context by currency and convention: an English pound was 20 shillings, and a guinea was 21. So when you won an auction, you would pay the auction house in guineas, and the auction house would pay the owner of the item in pounds, giving a 4.75% share to the house. Racehorses are still sold this way, although aren't any guineas or shillings any more, it's now 1£ and 1.05£.
No, I'm saying that under the assumption of no collapse, the scenario with N machines after a long period of entanglement requires that nature "stores" (has discernible state for) information proportional to e^N bits about this region of space. The prediction is the same, the question is what does it say about how nature is constructed and how does this relate to the credence we give the theory.

Right, if this is true (possible I guess, but does sound a bit Syndrome-from-The-Incredibles), even if there's really no technical way at all to terraform Mars it's hardly the end of the world, uh, planet.

I have one of these things, and I love it so much. The sound it makes keeps changing so you can't tune it out, and it flashing while moving around requires a bit more mental awareness to actually find the button to turn it off, so it's pretty good at waking you up.

For anyone else who has one: if you double click the third (alarm) button, you can change the default 1 minute snooze. You can also press the first two buttons at the same time to test the alarm going off without sound or the right two buttons to test with sound (albeit quieter than a real alarm).

Eh, still doesn’t hold up. I really don’t think there’s many psychologists working on the posited mechanism of simple NN-like backprop learning. Aka conditioning, I guess. As Chomsky reminds us every time we let him: human children learn to understand and use language — an incredibly complex and nuanced domain, to say the least — with shockingly little data and often zero-to-none intentional instruction. We definitely employ principles and patterns that are far more complex (more “emergent”?) than linear regression.

Tho I only ever did undergrad stats, maybe ML isn’t even technically a linear regression at this point. Still, hopefully my gist is clear
