that's the kind of attitude that forces women to reject her own children just so that she can find a new partner. sure, as long as dating only involves paying for the shared dinner whenever you spend time together, that doesn't create an obligation to do more, but as soon as you start supporting your partner beyond that, you have to accept that some of that support goes to the children.

> That, I’m afraid, is because ASCII was based not on modern computer keyboards but on the shifted positions of a Remington No. 2 mechanical typewriter – whose shifted layout was the closest compromise we could find as a standard at the time, I imagine.

According to Wikipedia¹, American typewriters were pretty consistent with keyboard layout until the IBM Selectric electric typewriter. Apparently "small" characters (like apostrophe, double-quote, underscore, and hyphen) should be typed with less pressure to avoid damaging the platen, and IBM decided the Selectric could be simpler if those symbols were grouped on dedicated keys instead of sharing keys with "high pressure" symbols, so they shuffled the symbols around a bit, resulting in a layout that would look very familiar to a modern PC user.

Because IBM electric typewriters were so widely used (at least in English speaking countries), any computer company that wanted to sell to businesses wanted a Selectric-style layout, including the IBM PC.

Meanwhile, in other countries where typewriters in general weren't so popular or useful, the earliest computers had ASCII-style punctuation layout for simplicity, and later computers didn't have any pressing need to change, so they stuck with it. Japanese keyboards, for example, are still ASCII-style to this day.

I don't generally tell people why I never wanted children, but when I see the "people are just more hedonistic now than ever in history" type explanation, I do feel that I can at least add my two cents, so-to-speak.

When I was seven years old, I realized that there was no god, and that when I died, I'd simply be gone forever; my consciousness extinguished as though it had never existed, and that nothing mattered. I'd learn much later that this could be called experiencing the death of god and becoming a nihilist; pretty rough stuff for a kid in grade school. And it meant life was just a long slog of work, and if you're lucky maybe a bit of vacation once in awhile. But that was basically the plan they wanted for you - grow up, work, have kids to repeat the cycle, and die. I never could get much enthusiasm for any of it, and I could never imagine having to explain this existence to a child; I don't have any of the happy stories regarding loving gods and an afterlife that seem to get most people through.

You'll find that religion correlates fairly highly with fertility, though I don't think there's any easy, slam-dunk causal factor that explains why people don't want to have children. Still, it makes sense to me that they have declined together.
> Because if they could start churning out a dozen or a hundred a week within a short period of time, why does the standing arsenal really matter?

Possessing an overwhelming amount of retaliatory force and the combined ability and willingness to deliver it immediately in the face of an enemy's first strike serves a useful purpose for deterrence. "Mutually assured destruction" means that both sides are prevented from attacking, because the other side can respond in kind. It's irrational for either side to attack, since everybody would just die. (and yes, MAD comes with its own problems)

The ability to build a bunch of bombs in the future is entirely unrelated. I mean, who cares?

From a MAD game theoretic perspective that makes a lot of sense. To avoid non-essential use of nukes, only give policymakers the option of launching everything. Then they will only launch in extreme circumstances. Hopefully only circumstances where there are already missiles inbound.

This avoids the possibility of gradual nuclear escalation, which can be more easily miscalibrated.
Bespoke hardware for text handling isn't a thing these days but would have been in the 60's and 70's. A table layout that can be easily decoded in hardware simplifies the necessary circuitry for responding to control characters or converting binary numbers to/from decimal when the microprocessor hadn't been invented yet.

I read a theory that this is part of the reason why people are migrating to metro areas. Metro areas are more likely to have industries for both spouses careers as opposed to just one. Enabling fully remote for remote eligible roles makes it possible for couples to migrate to areas that only support one of their in-person careers.

Eh. When the set "journalists" contains all the people who work for the likes of 24 hour cable news networks and the National Enquirer it's not obvious this is even the case. But the bigger point is that you don't select sources at random from the entire population of Twitter users, you select the ones you've observed have a track record of getting it right.

Lots of good stuff here:

"The general interest in automobilism and the magnitude of the new
industry are well exemplified in the fine show now being given in
this city at Madison Square Garden. In many respects the fourth
show far surpasses its predecessors, and there are many indications
which go to prove that the interest shown by the public is not fugitive
and ephemeral, but deep-seated and permanent. The bicycle
now seems to have been a craze, though we cannot personally understand
why people have dropped it so generally as a means of exercise;
but the automobile appears to meet many human wants and
necessities, and we can see no reason why its ability to fill them
should not make it a lasting and enormous industrial success.

"We find encouragement also in the large display of electric vehicles. Out
of 250 in the show, nearly 50 are of the electric class, and barely a
dozen are steam, while gasoline claims about 175... A great deal has been said
about the inadequacy of the storage battery for such work, but these
statistics are more or less of a vindication for it."

While I'm unsure when it comes to training the models....I'd bet a LLM or even a computer vision model is more energy efficient compared to the average human.

AI training varies for the model size and how many parameters and the dataset, but compare that few months of energy usage to produce a model, compared to the energy usage needed to raise a human to do the same task.

Now keep in mind that unless the human spscilises or is some protege, it is domain restricted. Humans don't know how to do multi modality yet, the best we have is basically getting another human to do that.

Well of course, it's nothing indeed -- they're simply passing through the audio as it was originally mastered, as they're meant to.

All your equipment is doing it right, assuming it's all configured correctly. And I assume it's not that the Roku "doesn't do much better", but does it exactly and precisely the same.

If you have an issue, it's presumably with the mastering standards, not with any of your equipment. Which is a whole other conversation around relative decibel levels in mixing, but it has nothing to do with technology.

2. Add/edit questions
3. Publish a quiz.
4. Leaderboards.

> Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to Russia that the US is attacking NK and not just nuking Kamchatka?

I guess that depends on current relations between the two countries and assumes there wouldn't be a breakdown of communications when launches are detected.

> Can the trajectory of an ICBM be inferred by the height of it’s arc?

From the book I mentioned in another comment, Russia has very flawed satellite systems for tracking nuclear launches. There is a lot of focus on the fact that you don't have much time in the event of an imminent nuclear strike so I don't think there is much calculations being done if the missile is (generally) coming towards your homeland.

You were overselling it a bit, going so far as to assume a plugin existed for it when it didn't. It gave a bit of a fanboy aura to the comment.

I like Kodi too, I've been using it since the XBMP days on modded Xboxes and still do for certain things, but eventually I needed something more flexible and something that worked over the internet. Being able to share my movies with my grandma or my next door neighbors wasn't really achievable with Kodi.
I don't think that's the case. Instead, it's just that the "let's tax the rich people more!!" idea is ill-founded to begin with, and the easiest way to show that is to point out that if instead of just taking some percentage more, you took everything they have, it still wouldn't solve the problem, not by a longshot.

I’ve worked with organizations that employ people whose physical or mental condition makes it difficult to obtain/maintain a typical job. In all likelihood the type of work performed (stuffing event participant packets) was a net negative in a small view of value. The folks there seemed pretty happy to do what they did in a supportive setting with other folks who had similar life circumstances. That leads me to believe that there were larger value-concepts at play than what a cash amount can enumerate.

The value that any person can create is principally limited by imagination, not the free market. The wonderful thing about a moderately regulated free market is that the imagination of more people can be used to engage the value creation inherent in every person.

Is it real consideration that anyone could consider to be worth "all the IP that you happen to be able to see while on this tour", or is it real consideration that Xerox thought was worth "an opportunity to see how we run the best tech lab of our generation"?

Don't forget that Apple presumably got paid $1M dollars out of the deal in addition to the tour. I'm having a hard time seeing the argument that the right to pay Apple for some of their shares in 1979 was perceived as being worth any of Xerox PARC's IP, much less "as much as you can carry in your head".

(None of which is to say that Apple was wrong to copy what they could, morally or legally. I just find the argument that these shares are evidence that it was an above-board trade that Xerox was on board with to be very weird.)

Enough people use CSVs (and have limited, small-scale use-cases) that I'd be willing to bet "less frequently" means never for at least 1% of people who use CSVs.

I don't know whether the chance of no problems is worth the increased difficulty of problems that do occur - considering that balance feels a bit silly because if you're aware there could be a problem in a context where you could choose between commas and unit separators, you could just add validation or escaping.

I on the other hand had the best experiences flying 10-12h flights with both delta and United.
United has served me the best foods out of us airlines (butter chicken, perfect food to let it sit in a warm tray, NOT PASTA everyone else. If someone from the food dept of flights reads this, stop it with the disgusting pasta on flights).

And delta has always been very easy for me, flight attendants are pleasant and any time I’ve been delayed they have automatically found me a flight without me having to actually call them out. The app is nice, WiFi works, seats are good. The main con is that their hub is Atlanta and that airport is a rats nest.

I feel the same way. I don't have the patience to see the next move. however I've noticed that I do quite well in Othello by intuitive moves, beating people who strategise and think deeply about their next move. it's frustrating for them when I declare that I just picked the move that felt right! intuition has its place in games, there is certainly some form of intelligence there, but in chess it probably only works when you have a mind like Fischer or Carlsen.

I don't think any of Blackout/All Clear, Ancillary Justice, Three-Body Problem, A Memory Called Empire or A Desolation Called Peace live up to Hugo standards (and I didn't read The Calculating Stars because I didn't think The Lady Astronaut of Mars did either). Looking at the post-2009 shortlists I think at least Anathem, Ninefox Gambit (and, frankly, both its sequels), The Goblin Emperor and Too Like the Lightning (even if the series ended poorly) were Hugo-winner-quality and The Dervish House was borderline (I appreciate that that that's two for 2015).

> considering that balance feels a bit silly because if you're aware there could be a problem in a context where you could choose between commas and record separators, you could just add validation or escaping.

As soon as you have validation or escaping, having a record separator character loses its entire purpose. The existence of the character is predicated on the idea that you don't have to do that, and that idea is false.

That's why the character is never used. It's a conceptual mistake that was accidentally enshrined in a series of encoding standards that had enough free space to accommodate it.
The arguments against deep sea mining are piling up, but so are the dollars in favor of it. I personally can’t think of anything more predictably disastrous to already threatened ecosystems than allowing such an industry to spawn. Regulatory authority will be vague and/or contested, monitoring and enforcement will be difficult and expensive, and labor conditions are likely match that of land-based mining operations. In other words, it’s a seriously bad idea. Sadly, anyone who stands to be harmed has little influence to leverage…if ecological protection ranked on any congressional priority list, plastics would not be occupying Texas-sized garbage patches, not to mention the internal organs of every creature on the food chain.
