I feel exactly the same. And it is obvious to myself, but I have realized that I must let other people know this, since many people are much less stringent in handling certainty, confidence etc. A gross oversimplification: some people seem to throw confident statements of facts around just to see what sticks.

Regarding introversion and fear of social consequences, I am definitely introverted but have been told that I speak my opinion too much sometimes, so I cannot agree that introversion is related to fear of making statements other may object to. In my case at least.
Im talking about the early days when there wasnt a "game list" where you could see the maps hosted by actual players. So the list only showed maps open at a moment.

Last time I tried SC2 arcade there was a list o hundreds of maps with zero players inside and you had to pray that some other players wanted to play the same map as you. So you would have to coordinate by a forum or friendlist to even play a game. So arcade was an empty desert.

Killing the "currently open games list" was such a antipattern... does SC2 have it now?

Taxes for rich are never any significant contribution to economy, not for places we talk about. They please poorer voters though, some sort of schaden freude that keeps the focus away from corruption, inefficiencies and massive structural problems in economies and lack of will or skill to tackle them by politicians (and lets be honest, 4-year election cycle ain't enough to fix big problems anywhere even for the best ones, especially if next voted government wipes it clean).

But what taxing rich accomplishes is that all those investors and high flying managers who are very smart and well educated in tax systems avoid such place as much as they can. Thats why Depardieu run off to Russia from France and its draconic system. And so did many others, ie to Switzerland, one of most famous is Alain Delon. And thousands of other, less known or unknown yet rich names.

It may be un-intuitive for unaware, but really don't punish your wealthy too much, they can leave almost anywhere and they often do to protect their wealth. Punish them just enough that masses are happy and rich don't leave. Its a fine balance that is unique for each nation and changes over time.

I don't have simple easy recipe for this, nobody has. But seeing a lot how rich actually think and behave, simple knee-jerk reactions almost never achieve intended effects down the line, state fights uphill battle with often smarter and better equipped folks.
I don't disagree, but when I'm playing the campaign or custom maps, I'm not too worried about skill expression and micromanaging these brain-dead units is not all that fun.

Put another way, I think one of the author’s arguments is “what if we’re pouring more and more effort into research in an area, because our primary abstraction is wrong?” That would make it harder and harder to continue to roll the ball up an increasingly steep hill. And I think in some fields, they may be right. It’s akin to how in math some problems are very difficult in Cartesian coordinates but trivial in polar coordinates. For instance, it seems to me that the existence of the “wave-particle duality” in physics and our inability to explain quantum-scale phenomena in a way that makes intuitive or logical sense to people is the canary in the coal mine that we took a wrong turn a while back. That’s not to say it’s true in every field, but that’s one that has stood out to me for a while.

I think another cause could be bureaucratic. From what I understand, several hundred years ago, research was funded by rich patrons who wanted some credit in relation to discoveries. Nowadays there is a giant, lurking, centrally planned grant machine that distributes money to researchers. And as we know from economics, central planning becomes increasingly untenable as the system becomes larger. Results get worse as the complexity skyrockets.

Additionally, if we are going to blame the “burden of knowledge” in any capacity, we have to acknowledge the abysmal education system (in the US). An anecdote which I will never forget is, in 6th grade we had a student who had recently immigrated from India. By his own telling, he was an average student there. But compared to native students, he was light years ahead in math. We learned multiplication in third grade, division in fourth grade, long division and fractions in fifth grade, or something like that. He had learned multiplication in first grade, and all of division in second grade. While our smartest students in sixth grade were grappling with pre algebra, he was bored in classes with the eighth grade algebra students. Our education system has, since experiencing that, seemed to me deeply flawed; there really is no reason an efficient and effective public education system should take 12+ years to be able to have a child ready for college and then another 4+ in college to have them ready to contribute to an isolated field.
Doesn't it seem weird that she was proud of the picture when interviewed in a neutral
context (Wired), but wanted it removed (not very strongly might I add) when interviewed by documentarians making a film with the express purpose of trying to get her picture removed? In the movie quote she even alludes to the title of the film: "Let's commit to losing me". It basically sounds like she gave them the soundbite they wanted.

I love coriander. I didn't like it when I first encountered it and if pressed would have probably adopted any negative description of it.
I doubt I would have described it as soap-like[herbalessence] or stink buggy without being "primed" though.
I don't know where you get your stink bugs from, maybe stink bugs vary around the world[daftpunk]?

I'm not disputing the genetic thing here, by the way. It's just interesting in general and in how knowledge of the fact changes how people talk about taste[sense].

When people like the flavour, they can generally just do so. You can say "I like coriander" without justification, but "I hate coriander" is a statement that requires justification (apparently).

Wikipedia's explanation tells me that the flavour of coriander is actually -- chemically -- like soap in some sense, it's just that there's a genetic variation that determines if you like that or not. Citation needed, of course.

Maybe the flavour of coriander is actually like soap. And the people who like coriander are simply the people who like soap? Anyone who denies the similarity between the two is lying because they don't want to be seen as a soap-muncher.

Soap-muncher.

[herbalessence] Which soap anyway? As I'm sure you know, most "soap" today isn't what people called "soap" decades ago. Maybe some people even have coriander scented soap.

[daftpunk] All the stink bugs I know live along the eastern coast of Australia.

[sense] Taste here means both what food tastes like and general having of preferences with or without reasoning.

To that point, there was a recent article here (that, sadly went mostly unnoticed), about Polish scientists finding novel applicability of gold particles of a certain shape in cancer treatment ...

Spain has special tax regime applicable to high qualified workers (in any region) and nomads (in some regions currently) who haven’t been tax resident in Spain for last 5 years (ie relocated recently). It’s 24% flat (under 600k per year) IRPF tax for 5 years.

Also, capital gains outside of Spain sourced income are not taxed in Spain.

Social security contributions are paid in full same as usual tax residents.

Tax treaty doesn’t apply for such tax residents though and it complicates taxes in general.

In a lot of environments, you can at least choose to restrict what networks can be used to manage equipment; sometimes this is forced on you because the equipment only has a single port it will use for management or must be set to be managed over a single VLAN. Even when it's not forced, you may want to restrict management access as a security measure. If you can't reach a piece of equipment with restricted management access over your management-enabled network or networks, for instance because a fiber link in the middle has failed, you can't manage it (well, remotely, you can usually go there physically to reset or reconfigure it).

You can cross-connect your out of band network to an in-band version of it (give it a VLAN tag, carry it across your regular infrastructure as a backup to its dedicated OOB links, have each location connect the VLAN to the dedicated OOB switches), but this gets increasingly complex as your OOB network itself gets complex (and you still need redundant OOB switches). As part of the complexity, this increases the chances an in-band failure affects your OOB network. For instance, if your OOB network is routed (because it's large), and you use your in-band routers as backup routing to the dedicated OOB routers, and you have an issue where the in-band routers start exporting a zillion routes to everyone they talk to (hi Rogers), you could crash your OOB network routers from the route flood. Oops. You can also do things like mis-configure switches and cross over VLANs, so that the VLAN'd version of your OOB network is suddenly being flooded with another VLAN's traffic.

They seed and download their own works on bittorrent, then send "scare emails" demanding payment to any ISP with IPs they connect to for forwarding to the customer. A nontrivial number of confused or scared customers pay.

There are more indirect ways, but that is certainly the direct way they financially profit.
I use the system Ruby and don't have to worry too much about rbenv and rvm. 2.7 and even 3.0 is well supported. That's what I also did with Perl, except when I used MacOS which was a pain because of modules that used C libraries like LibXML. On Linux we can also use containers without worrying about speed penalty. There are sufficient solutions and okay tooling. Ruby's also got not one but two JIT compilers right now.
It's a complex issue. When so many "skilled workers" move to your neighborhood that your rent doubles and that you can't afford to do grocery shopping in your neighborhood, it makes sense to be angry.

The US top 1% are number 1, the US bottom 10% have it worse than most or even almost all people from western Europe.
I agree with you on that one; I am still in favour of the EU and one of the last countries I would want to live is the US (it's a nice country (parts of it) to vacation in though), but yes, the EU has issues (in my opinion) that would be good and positive for 'the people' IF there would be an abundance of money coming from somewhere (there isn't); a) language (let's ffs speak english everywhere; I'm dutch, i speak dutch, german, french, portuguese and spanish, but it's just easier to have english as the first language, as as the common high value business language in the world) b) regulatory; small companies should be exempt from regulations and that should change per milestone the company reaches c) make it easy, cheap and attractive to start a company; as point b), start getting annoying when it grows beyond certain milestones, but not too annoying so it will leave d) make taxation so that it's attractive to invest in here e) boost our electronics, military and space faring research/development/manufacturing across the board; that brings jobs, money, investment and innovation.

But it's hard to balance with culture and liveability; I would never live in the US for fear of dropping from the few top % by some accident getting into extreme poverty. Here i'm not really scared of that (and i've been there in the distant past).

You enhance the stored elements to also be the nodes of a doubly linked list. The overhead is rarely critical in practice. It can be made more efficient if the hash map doesn’t need to support deletion.
I agree that forming your identity as either extroverted or introverted is a bad idea, but using extraversion/introversion as tools for understanding tendencies in your mind is very beneficial.

Yeah, I'm sure the average French working class citizen suffered a lot from loosing Dépardieu to Russia, let them play you the world's smallest violin for that tragic loss.

Pretty sure the French citizen cares way more about retaining and attracting the likes of Datadog, Airbus and Renault who actually create skilled well paying jobs, than a entitled fat cats like Dépardieu who don't create any jobs.

What? All of EU software engineers want to work in the US but we cannot.
Agreed on cellular, but life is not a picture, rather a movie… what works at a stage starts attracting people, and eventually you let the wrong people in. A bit like the hype curve. These wrong people start poisoning internal processes and culture, seeking to cash out. And then the model blows up.

I remember being offered the option of a day out of the OR teaching anesthesiology residents so I could attend a tutorial conducted by UVA medical librarians to teach us researcher/academics how to do our own Medline searches.

This was around 1994-95.

What a waste. Totally confusing, frustrating, and boring. After an hour or so I wished I'd just stayed in the OR.

Never did conduct my own Medline searches, BTW: why not let paid experts like the librarians do it rather than waste my time to get a much inferior result?
Current LLMs are lacking introspection, plausibility checking, consulting external sources, and belief updating in the presence of new evidence. All of these you'd need to replace human teachers and it's not clear that the next token prediction paradigm can ever emulate these features reliably. So "outperforming teachers", while not impossible, is a very optimistic expectation as it requires more than mere improvement on existing methodology.
I guess it’s about having some short-term tax revenue from younger foreigners to help the state deal with an aging population. Since nomads eventually move away, the state does not include them in any pension system.
We won't give a fuck about your robots.txt, but do obey ours.
I agree with you but I will also add that the “new world” is much more geared towards turning those immigrants into actual Americans, Canadians, and Australians than the EU is turning the nomads into Europeans.

But that’s just one more contributing factor to what you described.

On multiple occasions the text I drafted was passed into state and twice federal law, in red states and blue. I’ve also guided staffers, when they were dealing with a new field which I was familiar with, on how to sort the nutters from the informed but powerless. (They’re good at identifying those who can organise a constituency, informed or not.)

I was trying to figure out how you can be more effective. Not fight you.

> observations, and references stand on their own and are testable, when following rational methods

By classic rhetorical methods, you left unchallenged my inequivalence claim in respect of the use of violence by the Stasi and our present governments. Herego, I win by default. (Obviously not how conversation works. But at least more precedents than “rational norms,” which is not standard rhetoric.)

Also, “it is not exaggerated, and by definition cannot be hyperbole” is argument by tautology. Hyperbole means exaggerated. You say it isn’t hyperbole because it isn’t exaggerated. You say it isn’t exaggerated because…well, that’s never argued.

You called out argument ad absurdum, too, though I’m not sure you know what that means—neither of us used it, correctly or not, except in misinformation.

> Since you did not follow rational norms nor provide specific examples one can only assume you are referring to the entirety of my initial post as being exaggerated

…did you use this tone in your letters? “Rational norms” are not conventional English.

On a stylistic level, you used the word “rational” in almost every sentence. That’s fine. But it puts your writing into a specific corner of the internet better known for flat Earthers than reasoned policy.

Good luck. I’m signing off this thread.
Do you have a metric to support that theory? It’s good for the European story for that to be true, but hard to quantify.

Okay, I can't defend that because in reality I'm talking purely from my subjective experience. I will say that in my experience it isn't close at all. However, I will also say that a lot of the things that chatgpt gets wrong for me, wikipedia just won't contain at all, but then chatgpt seeming confident when it's wrong is basically the whole problem.
In the US, I could believe that from what I've seen in the shops when visiting as a tourist.

In the UK (where I grew up) and Germany (where I live), you should be able to get the recommended 5-a-day for less than £/€ 2 per day if you need to keep costs down, and £/€ 8/day if you're being lazy and getting fairly fancy stuff.

Sure, the income here is lower than in the USA, but even at the higher end that's not so much as to make that "significant".

Okay. So, in your original comment are you asserting that teachers are mostly telling students to believe propositions without giving any epistemic justification for those propositions?
