> "The stated goal of Aadhaar is noble, of giving every individual an identity, ..."

[Semi-offtopic] Just my favorite pet peeve: Identity cannot be given - it's an inherent, innate property of the individual. Or a group. So, as I get it, Aadhaar is not an identity, it's a credential ("ID" is not a great term). Government (or anyone else other than oneself) doesn't give anyone an identity, they merely authenticate your identity and issue or certify a credential.

Language is a mess, and that's why I felt important to leave this comment - just to put my two cents against all the confusion that already exist out there. I recently saw a joke that says "auth" is short for "it's either authentication or authorization but I don't remember the difference right now" and it seems so relevant :-)

And, yes, I believe the term "identity provider" is a perversion of nature - a blatant attempt at what should be called "identity theft" (instead of what the industry calls "identity theft").
When the seller's agent tells you they have another offer, and this is a lie, will your AI be able to figure that out?
Steal can be bent without failing. I believe 80/20 has less flex than a similar sized pipe? But when it gets bent you’re done. So there will be situations where steel is a better choice.
Why is it a good idea for a GUI library to behave like a framework-of-all-things, from basic data structures, OpenGL library, XML library, Javascript engine etc.? CopperSpice does this, and it seems so does Qt and probably this new LS-CS fork of CopperSpice.
> Regarding messing with T-cells I wonder how evolution came up with the current number of mitochondria per cell.

Cells can increase their number of mitochondria in response to things (mitochondrial biogenesis). I don't know anything about how that works out in the immune system, but have read about it related to fat cells and exercise.

This was also my first thought, and it seems like "giving them extra batteries" accomplishes the same outcome

> there’s no need for Jira, Salesforce, Notion, or Facebook to be open source

This is orthogonal to what I said. Which of these companies strongly rely on their core code being proprietary? In other words, which of these companies would perish if they adopted open source? In any case, at least Meta has a strong open source presence.

> The only ones that use open source have a business reason to do so, usually because they make tools that depend on widespread adoption.

The reason you noted is just one of many reasons for open sourcing software. Other reasons include the belief that open source is good for the world and for hiring developers too. This goodness usually comes back in kind. Not everything in this world is about immediate corporate greed, but with your mentality, you will never understand it.
The Linux foundation is one of the few open-source organizations that actually has significant money behind it (Mozilla is the only other one I can think of). PyPI moves hundreds of petabytes of data per year and a lot of orgs are simply not prepared to scale to that size. Without Fastly's support, the PSF wouldn't be prepared, either.

So it's more than a little annoying to see that resource wasted. Setuptools is one of the most downloaded packages, largely due to issues with the design of Pip. Numpy by my estimate accounts for over 10% of download volume by itself (it's both very popular and very large), and ships basically an entire development environment (including multiple test suites and patches for Setuptools) for both C and FORTRAN extensions, along with many megabytes of advanced math libraries, to clients who mostly don't need any of that. Most packages could be considerably smaller if the standards supported LZMA compression (which is already in the Python standard library). The metadata formats are awkward, both wasting space and failing to prevent downloads of package versions doomed to fail installation.
Acknowledging it is a children’s book…

I take significantly bigger issue with the lack of societal change from having magic. Way too much of wizard society was “Muggles + occasional party tricks”. When you can conjure food, water, automatons, etc from nothing, nature of living would change completely.

You can brew luck? I would be mainlining that stuff every day. Time travel is given to children? Why is there a train when there are a dozen different ways of magicking yourself around the world?

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality touched on these inconsistencies.
Took a welding class recently, it wasn’t that hard to get something pretty strong that could be ground and painted to look nice.

> Part of my job as a father is helping her develop her intellectual stance on "hearsay".

And what stance will you set with them to avoid discussing sexual orientation (or religion) when they report that their friend Austin has two moms? Or when their other friend Keesha says that two moms being together is wrong and God will send them to burn in hell?

> And I am heterosexual, so that is the sort of environment she is exposed to.

Which is my point. You are exposing your child to sexual and gender concepts - you're just limiting the exposure the ones you feel are normal.

> Typically this happens at around puberty, at least that is how it worked for basically everyone I know, myself included.

Gender identity in particular has nothing to do with physical sexual maturity. It happens much earlier in life. And putting off any talks about gender identity until puberty starts means that the child in question will have changes forced upon their body that they may not want to live with at that point in time, even if they chose to remain their gender assigned to them at birth.

General preferences in attraction also start to manifest much earlier than 13; I remember knowing that I liked girls back in first grade.

> It's also important that the information comes at a proper age.

What age is proper to start teaching, say, math at? If a child can not comprehend geometry, is it too early to teach them how to count?

Acknowledging that women can like women and men can like men and sometimes people aren't attracted to either one and all of those are OK and normal, that's something that can be done quite early in life. So can the acknowledgement that someone can be born a girl and grow up as a boy and that too is OK. Neither requires any discussion of the mechanics of sex, nor do they require sexual, physical, or mental maturity.

> Right now it has to match my definition of who she is, because she can't meaningfully make any choices on her own. She can't even choose what brand of baby formula I give her[...]

My rationale is aimed at more than your child's years as a baby. They won't be a baby for long, and if you're determined to bury your (and by extension their) head in the sand until they're 13 is going to do them no favors.

Thankfully, your child is young enough that you have time to think about it.
> What is the other meaning of fork?

The older, still in use today meaning is what happened when Oracle bought MySQL and ruined it. People forked it and now we have MariaDB. Basically, it means a fork in the code base and now there are two separate projects.

Guys, this is so cool! I am strongly in favor of anything that cuts out rent-seeking middlemen.

Every time someone mentions real estate to me, I immediately think back with intense resentment to the thousands upon thousands of dollars I paid brokers just to unlock crappy studio apartments for me in Boston. I was just out of school and barely had any money, but I was still paying a huge premium over the cost of rent for ~nothing. So annoying.

I chose to reply to this comment because OP said:

> These conversations usually turn into philosophical or religious arguments around life.

I feel this is an absurd argument, as I listed, there are plenty of reasons to push back on this outside the purview of philosophy or religion. For instance, my mention of the predatory history of some medical interventions.

And

> My opinion is that suicide is completely valid and should not be stigmatized or illegal.

OP said “completely valid” and I would argue in reality everyone has a “line”, and I was using extreme examples to illuminate that we all have this line and it is more productive to discuss where it lies than to assume we hold the only rationale position.

It worked because you started to draw your line.

Namely, your “not advocating for” advertisement, which I think is in opposition to the OPs “completely valid and not stigmatized” position.

> Are you unswayed by the people with multiple failed attempts that eventually succeed?

I’m open to hearing these. Do you have any resources?

I only use regular Gemini and the main feature I care about is absolutely terrible: summarizing YouTube videos. I'll ask for a breakdown or analysis of the video, and it'll give me a very high level overview. If I ask for timestamps or key points, it begins to hallucinate and make stuff up. It's incredibly disappointing that such a huge company with effectively unlimited access to both money and intellectual resources can't seem to implement a video analysis feature that doesn't suck. Part of me wonders if they're legitimately this incompetent or if they're deliberately not implementing good analysis features because it could eat into their views and advertisement opportunities.

That's where we disagree: I think we understand them quite well. Well enough that there's no open questions leading us to believe there must be something else. Fields alone describe all of modern physics. As such, there's no indication that there's something more fundamental than fields.

Contrast this with atoms: there are things atoms alone cannot explain, like the Zeeman and Stark effects. There must be something more fundamental going on. (Spoiler: It's fields.)

More of a ridiculous market. But ultimately as an agent, you get hired to work with mostly irrational actors (sellers and buyers).

As someone who is very interested in AI and taught myself how to code (I don’t know any other real estate people who know anything about code), I think it’s going to be incredible hard to uproot the brokerage industry.

It’s challenging to get buy in from many different types of old school, fragmented actors in the space. I’d love to see someone prove this can be done, but I think it’s a challenge, so best of luck. Curious to follow along.

I think proptech needs real professionals who have been in the trenches to be involved because there’s just too much nuance in the industry outsiders have no idea about.

a) When you draft an offer, the contingencies are fairly standard w/r/t mortgage, inspection, title, insurance, etc. Realtors use standard language here to cover these on the offer form, we use the California Association of Realtors Residential Purchase Agreement form, which is the standard offer form.

It also seems that the 80-110 numbers for the English longbow may be a low estimates. Bows and skeletons were recovered from Henry VIII's flagship, which sank in 1545. Mary Rose longbows had draw weights estimated between 110 to 180 lb. Similarly, it has been estimated that to penetrate an armour from the first half of the sixteenth century, a draw weight of about 110 to 130 lb was needed.

This makes anecdotal sense to me. 70-80 lbs is a common draw weighed for modern compound hunting bows routinely used by people with comparatively little training. I shoot about 75 lbs with no more training than going to a range once a month and am a 6ft male with no weight training.

Given the historical accounts of the required training and dedication required for the English longbow, I expect 110 could be on the lower end.

Guinness world records has contemporary archers shooting longbows up to 200lbs, although without precision.

The biggest contribution my realtor made was good negotiation, but even that cannot be confirmed. Why? Because I never spoke to the sellers directly. For all I know, I was their only offer and they were just holding off to see if anything else would come through.

When I sell my current home, the realtor commission would be around $20,000. That's $20,000 cash equity that is taken out of my hands.
