This isn't a reflection on humanity, but rather on the culture we live in. There are countries where people value higher quality media. They have better education, higher equality, more accountability in government and business, more diverse media ownership (not hard), etc. They are not perfect - that's not the point.

Point is, there are many, many factors we can improve on before throwing in the towel. I really dislike seeing people blame the population for watching media that uses every psychological trick to blast bombastic propaganda and bullshit into people's brains from birth; it's truly victim blaming.
The problem is that the risk is still paying off. The coal plants continue to run, and it's not that easy getting the political support to shut them down before the economics make it happen anyway.

Yep. And the highly-rated people will be the ones who act the most arrogantly, and they will be paid $650-1.8M-3.7M+ USD/year. They will be big fish in small pods but not as smart, clever, or as irreplaceable as they believe themselves to be. But they will shoot down everyone else's ideas, be disinterested in learning anything new, refuse meetings, take credit for others' work, and tell other people what to do and how to do it.
Maybe both your brother and father expect the influencers whom they trust to not break their trust. Which should be a decent expectation. Not everyone has the time and energy to dig after primary sources of truth, sometimes multiple sources of truth, read, comprehend and summarize what happened. They rather depend on someone to distill the whole thing for them.

> help to explain seemingly unrelated differences among groups of individuals

I always try to be sceptical of explaining behaviours by certain traits of people because it feels like sooner or later you’re gonna assume things about people which are moreso leaning on the trait than on the person and I think that’s a slippery slope.

I wonder if other people feel like this too sometimes and how they deal with it

This is actually a really good analogy because it does illustrate that it's not a completely crazy ask—people do trust Troy Hunt to run such a site. But OP should be much more understanding of how dangerous the concept is and offer options to resolve concerns (Troy allows downloading the passwords list to check locally), especially while they're not Troy Hunt-level famous and still are trying to build up trust.

Most cars I’ve seen still have the regular old three buttons on the visor and those work just fine even with a myQ enabled opener.

The myQ car integration just enables things like auto-open and close based on the car’s location.

For those saying just use ratgdo - unless something has changed recently, it’s not as feature complete as myQ. For instance, myQ lets you add time-bound guest access.

Also, after the price increases, ratgdo is half the price of the entire opener.

The last COVID stimulus package added from 1 to 4% to inflation, but that was transitory. The wider rise was largely due to other factors such as supply chain disruptions from the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The latter significantly raised oil prices worldwide which in turn raised costs for all kinds of things.

Here's an article that covers a lot of the factors [1].

Some animals are quite memetic. Cats in particular have a tendency to try to mimic animal they were raised with. The stories you hear today are "cat think they're a dog" because they pant (for fun, not because of a malady) or chase after their tails (that's how they learned to play probably), but the stories i've heard in a _very_ rural area were more about cat behaving like gooses, cow and even goats (a story about a cat playing headbut with baby goat, which worked until the goat grew and wanted to keep playing :/).

I think this memetic ability (which is a trait we consider human, even though it's not) and the fact that a lot of animals initially fail the mirror test could be starting point if this idea.

As I get older, the nuances of linguistic meaning of words and the personal variation of the linguistic deconstruction across political viewpoints, sometimes individual, is becoming apparent.

"Freedom" for example in the political sphere ultimately comes down to what aspects of opposed politics you want to oppress. Like the actual fictional meaning of libertarianism, it really is defined as the freedom to do what you want, but regulate anything that people may do to you.

So much of rhetoric is linguistically clarified by gender swapping to reveal sexist double standards, or appending "white" to key words to make the racist undercurrent component more apparent.

I know this is incendiary, but for example in huge amounts of right wing rhetoric like something as basic as "I'm voting for America", a classic vapid pseudo patriotic statement that somehow marks a divide between parties, if you translate it to "white America" on the right vs "multicultural America" on the left, all of a sudden the organizing emotional undercurrents become clear.

Obviously loaded rhetoric exists on the left. Oh course my opinion is that it is far more pervasive on the right however.

Such is the media universality we exist in, the assault of media advertising, we often aren't even aware of the loaded meanings.

So let organizing linguistic phrasings, which becomes psychological worldviews, are compounded with deeply complex and layered visual and audio aspects: stalwart conservative white man with authoritative voice., for example. A picture is worth a thousand words after all.

I find Trump's often smorgasborg of word political salad instructive often because such ramblings are actually a mass deconstruction of right wing rhetoric. It removes the framing and just goes to the loaded words

My grandad worked on a computerized press in this era. He primarily printed short-run text books for southern Ontario universities. Whatever markup they used had a syntax that allowed emboldening and italicization, but you had to specify the end of the formatting (obviously). Professors never would, and the first run of a book would always be all bold and italic. The profs would get mad, and tell him “the computer should JUST KNOW.”
I disagree. Most SMD components are perfectly fine to solder by hand. Using a good soldering station with a knife cartridge makes the job much easier. Same with a microscope, but I home I use a headband with magnifying glasses. It does of course take some more practice than through hole components and in many cases it's easier to solder them in an oven, but then you need solder paste and preferably a stencil.

The only types where I'd reach for a heat gun are packages like TO-252 and TO-263 where the backside is soldered directly to a pad on the PCB, but for hobbyist purposes I think even that could be doable with a powerful iron and a large tip.
This is in concept a great point and may actually be what’s happening but as you allude to with “should” in “Which should be a decent expectation.” sadly that isn’t the case anymore, when a good chunk of listened to influencers are more driven by the money and/or power (where basically money is just an abstracted form of power) conveying what really happened is less of a concern to them, at times they tend to not even look at primary sources either (depending on which influencers we’re talking about here).

Yeah if we did something like this for real, we should make a more realistic estimate of how much of a return the plant owners are really likely to get, instead of just arbitrarily multiplying their investment by two.

But while coal is declining, it's still spewing large amounts of CO2 and probably will for some time yet. It's doing better in areas outside the US, where it doesn't have to compete with such cheap natural gas.

We could also apply this plan to natural gas, which is doing better economically, accounts for a lot of CO2, and has a warming impact as bad as coal if you take methane leaks into account. I wonder what the cost per ton CO2e would be for that.

It actually would! There are a handful of base-10 arbitrary precision arithmetic implementations in the preprocessor[1], and modern continuation-passing style macro metaprogramming[2] makes it straightforward to write a function like factorial once you get the syntax and semantics down.

Libraries like Boost.Preprocessor can’t be taken as an example of “cutting edge” preprocessor metaprogramming. It set a very low bar, and IMO has stifled a lot of developer creativity.

I do personally know several people who got ripped off by crypto scams.

Neat stuff! I'm guessing the "Programmable Spaces" piece here: https://spatialpixel.com/programmable-spaces/ is using the same IDE as the one demonstrated here: https://spatialpixel.com/natural-language-ide/, only with some kind of AR? If so, are the p5 sketches generated realtime? That would be seriously impressive.
A) love to see some serious philosophy on hacker news! Well argued, and impressively interdisciplinary. Of course, this also means I’ve just gotta nitpick.

B) The analytic mindset (worldview, even) rears its head yet again, with the same old “I’ll ask a question, list the possible answers, and select the best one” paradigm as always. It’s an understandable urge of course, but when it comes to philosophy it’s often applied to questions we should not feel quite so confident about our answers to.

More specifically: the idea that worldviews exist as a thing is, IMHO, what the Churchlands (famous philosophy of mind duo in their 90s) would pejoratively call a “folk psychology” concept, a category that also includes Free Will, True Belief, Conscious Awareness, and other things that we feel like should exist but don’t really have a scientific way to phrase, much less prove the existence of.

In this case, what makes it so obvious that worldviews exist in a “high dimensional space” that’s not simply the vector space representing each persons entire cognitive apparatus? You can construct models for this like you can construct models for anything, but the article talks like there really is an underlying structure that we just need to find, both for Personality and Worldview. This quickly leads us astray; rather than starting with political/philosophical/sociological goals and constructing one or more models accordingly, shes seemingly trying to build an argumentative decision tree and arrive at an ultimate conclusion. And it’s not that I don’t like her approach therein, I just don’t think that conclusion exists.

This brings me to the most provocative part of the essay, the discussion (and quick dismissal) of postmodernism. Sure, some artists and Foucaultians can be read as having embraced the “there’s no true reality, all knowledge is derived only from power” thesis discussed here, but I think that’s mostly done for rhetorical and/or political effect. I prefer the “Standpoint Theory”/“Feminist Epistemolgy” phrasing: as imperfect cognitive apparatuses, we are all necessarily and inherently biased. This isn’t to say that we should abandon the (folk?) concept of “truth”, because it’s obviously insanely useful on an instrumental level, and hard to imagine a world-without on a metaphysical one; rather, it’s just to say that we should be realistically humble therein.

*TL;DR:* there is no such thing as worldview or personality to discover, only to engineer. This essay is a great start on that, but seemingly too ambitious in scope.

C) this quote made me throw up in my mouth a lil:

the old vicissitudes of hard work, discovery, improvement, and fecundity.

Let’s abandon some vicissitudes, y'all. Tradition for its own sake is how you get vague synonyms for “good” lumped in with “fecundity”!
Environmentally, converting coal to natural gas isn't that much of a win. Take methane leaks into account and it might even be worse.

It'd be interesting to see the cost per ton CO2e of paying to shut down gas plants as well.

If someone says he votes for "America" why should we assume it's "White America" or "Multicultural America" unless we want to introduce a divide and fuel hate.

In the 1970s and 1980s when someone said he "voted for America" that affirmation was taken at face value, no one asked "which America" and no one assumed that there is more than one American.

I am not an American, so please correct me if I am wrong.
Yes, I experience this exactly. In solitude I can sit and work on a challenging task for 12 hours or more, falling asleep with my laptop and picking up where I left off upon waking. I’m so into it I forget to eat and shower.

I remember hearing a story about a guitarist who was trying to play his scales as fast as possible, and an observer described it as the guitarist being so focused “he forgot to breathe”. That resonates with me.

But if I’m sitting around in the evening with the family, I can’t achieve anything like this level of focus. I’ve come to think of it like an airplane or rocket. It uses most of its energy to get off the ground, but once in motion high above the earth, it can stay in motion using a fraction of that energy.

Being around other people who might interrupt is like launching a rocket, and 3 minutes into the flight we have to land because someone wants a snack.

Sometimes when I try to think about something challenging in these circumstances, in a matter of 20 minutes I feel exhausted to the point it’s hard to keep my eyes open, as if I’ve tried to launch a rocket every 2 minutes and have no fuel left, even though I haven’t gone anywhere.

Pixel aperture ratio has increased drastically since the early displays. This drops current density for a given amount of light output, and there's a nonlinear relationship between current density and segregation so that helps a ton.

Deuterium helps make more light per unit current, improves current density, improves lifetime.

Microlensing of your customers will accept narrower viewing angle, improves brightness and lifetime in the same way.
What other people think shapes our reality, more so than the other way around. Because of that, the primary sources are barely relevant.

This makes the "reality" of today the collective minds of the people in our society. We're all on stage together and there are no rules.

> Does anyone know where this idea that animals can't distinguish between different species comes from?

Not explaining this penguin case, but imprinting [0] is a known phenomenon when a young bird or mammal fixates on something other than its own parent and then follows it arounds.

I've seen analogous behaviour first hand while working at a raptor conservation centre. The classic case is when someone finds a baby owl out of its nest, looks after it for a few days, and only then brings it to the centre to be looked after properly. Such youngsters have an entirely different response to humans than wild birds, as they associate humans with food and protection. As they grow up, these birds retain juvenile 'feed-me' vocalisations well into adulthood when people are around. It's not obvious whether they think they are little people or what, but they are certainly affected psychologically. If an injured baby bird is brought in as soon as it is found, the staff feed it while draped in towels or similar so that the little one doesn't associate food with people, and can be safely released.

Young raptors who are being intentionally reared (e.g. as breeding birds from critically endangered populations) can become very fixated on individual human handlers. They will be relatively sociable with their main caregiver, and fearful / indifferent / aggressive toward people they don't know.
