We May Be on the Brink of Finding the Real Planet Nine
There's no point in starting over from scratch if you can't explain how things would go differently. And if you can explain how things would go differently, it's worth considering whether that could be a patch on the existing system, instead of paying the cost to rebuild from scratch and possibly introduce a new set of problems.

I suspect many who advocate for burn-it-all-down utopianism are not interested in solving problems for their own sake. It's the same impulse that inspires engineers to rewrite perfectly good software just because they don't like some aesthetic details of the code.

That's fine if you do it on your own time. Go ahead, create a small-scale utopia and see if it works as well as predicted. Even if it fails, it can serve as a valuable data point for the rest of us.
It’s lucky when you can get the sign right on the first-order effects. Predicting 2nd order effects accurately enough to price them is economic voodoo.
Yes, especially since the study looked at professions on death certificates (likely to be last profession). There are many better ways to do this.

Studies like this that are obviously flawed to anyone with a modicum of actual scientific/stats knowledge being called "landmark" studies really casts doubt on peer review. Sad to see this behavior yet again from researchers in the Alzheimer's field. How many more billions of donations must be wasted by "scientists" that don't understand basic statistics before something changes?

Based on a quick googling, apparently the original paper is "One kitchen is all you need" by Sister Eudocia, Isabelle DeVerneil, and Jane Hildebrandt, published in Modern Hospital vol. 79 issue 3, pages 120-122, 1952. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12992940/
Interesting. OK. I have ADHD and I don't feel anything resembling a "high." If anything, I feel normal and relaxed on stimulants. But it also makes me able to focus and work hard, and I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I have professionally or personally without it. Not just my job, but my marriage too was falling apart prior to getting on medication. What you wrote in the original post could have been written by an ADHD person, in which case I would recommend staying on medication.

Idk, it's complicated. I think a lot of the moral handwringing about stimulant use is misguided and it shouldn't be stigmatized. But I'm somewhat biased in that stimulants literally saved my life, after I had been avoiding medication for years prior based on the stigma. I for sure have ADHD though.

Have you talked to a psychiatrist? You may have a serious mental condition that needs treatment, even if it isn't ADHD treated by amphetamine salts. Modafinil, maybe.

For mechanical parts cars are very good. For electronics not so much. It seems like you could repair a chip with an electron microscope and other similar tools - but I've never heard of anyone trying. I have heard of taking the case off to look at the inside of chips (for processes larger than current 3nm); but not repairing issues and putting it back into service.

Electronic parts tend to go out of production. If nobody makes the failed chip anymore what can you do to repair it? If you can get the correct chip we can put the software back on it (well good luck getting that, but it is possible), but all too often parts are not available at any price.
It’s the opposite. Vinfast hired JLR to design their cars. This guy works for JLR and blew the whistle on Vinfast’s leadership not caring about the safety of VF6 and VF7.
how about sanitization or ridicule of discussion regarding, 'secrets' that are common public knowledge.

i think that goes a long way toward fostering conspiracies.
I mean, I’m worried about the general loosening of regulations. But this situation sounds like it was discovered in 2022 and then the outbreak happened in 2024.

Edit: just to be explicit, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that cost-cutting or whatever resulted in fewer inspections, which resulted in less discovery of issues. But since the issue actually was discovered… I dunno, it seems more like a decision making problem, if a health issue is known about for two years without any action taken. Maybe there’s some other way to blame budget cuts there… I don’t see it though.
That's kind of how you do it in go. Either:

1. Bubble up error (as is/wrapped/different error.
2. Handle error & have a (possibly complex) new code path.

There's also the panic/recover that sometimes is misused to emulate exceptions.
So, one high-performance, high-power, general-purpose processor to handle the foreground task, and a bunch of low-power processors for background tasks.

Looks like ARM got it right with its big.LITTLE architecture. :)
Probably a better approach than the futile attempt to excise all routers with backdoors or bugs would be to continue the ongoing efforts to make network security router agnostic.
Don't forget "Auth0". I've definitely talked to devs who were confused about the difference between Auth0 and OAuth.

> so much of what students actually pick up is how to function in a peer group and society at large

It teaches students how to function in an unnatural, dysfunctional, often toxic environment and as adults many have to spend years unlearning the bad habits they picked up. It also takes many years to learn as adults they shouldn't put up with the kind of bad treatment from bosses and peers that they had no way to distance themselves from in school.
> The H1B visa is explicitly a dual intent visa. ... Becoming a permanent resident is explicitly allowed under the H1B visa.

I am aware that this is allowed. However, the DOL describes the program like this: [1]

> The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States.

So I understand why people would be confused or upset when nonimmigrant aliens with temporary employment authorization end up immigrating.

I also agree that allocating a limited number of residencies by country of birth is pretty bizarre. There are some countries where the whole population could get a green card in a single year (if they were all eligible), but people born in Mexico and India have a 20 year backlog in some categories. Some sort of population or land area factor should apply. The impacted countries may want to consider strategic division to improve their US immigration backlogs ;P and they could gain more votes in the UN General Assembly, too.

I did read the summary and see what you saw, but that still leads me to believe the headline of the article is clickbait and that the authors don't understand that action signalling doesn't require the same bandwidth as information processing, but even then it's way more than 10b/s.

Look at a backhoe. It has a few levers and a couple pedals. EXTREMELY simple interface. Each lever and pedal is basically 1 bit for engage/disengage, but the operator has to process orders of magnitude more sensory info to operate it properly. You could use an arduino to control a backhoe, but you'd need quite a powerful computer to know what to tell the arduino to do. This shouldn't surprise anyone. Knowing how to use the tool well is always far more complicated than simply knowing how the tool operates.
He's almost certainly talking about amphetamines.
I think the discussion on serial vs parallel processing is incomplete in the linked paper, and is one reason I think the 10 bits/s bottleneck is an incomplete or misinterpreted result. Here’s a review with sources on serial processing, https://journalofcognition.org/articles/10.5334/joc.185

> Cognitive psychology has mainly focused on structural and functional limitations of cognitive processes when facing multitasking requirements. Structural limitations assume strict serial processing for at least one processing stage, while functional limitations assume flexible, parallel processing only limited by the number of available resources. Human movement science, on the other hand, emphasizes the plasticity of cognition and training possibilities. As both approaches have provided ample empirical evidence for their views but have predominantly worked in isolation, this example clearly illustrates the need for a more integrative approach to multitasking. A challenge for the contemporary research on multitasking is to bring together the issues of structure, flexibility, and plasticity in human multitasking, offering a new integrative theoretical framework that accounts for this fundamental aspect of human behaviour.

From one of the papers cited by the above reference (Hommel 2020),

> A closer look reveals that the questions being asked in dual-task research are not particularly interesting or realistic, and the answers being given lack mechanistic detail. In fact, present theorizing can be considered mere empirical generalization, which has led to merely labeling processing bottlenecks rather than describing how they operate and how they actually produce the bottleneck.

So, while I applaud the authors on generating buzz and discussion, I think their promising work will benefit from more serious consideration of the underlying neurophysiology.

I used to make third party scan tools. My advice is don't drive a BMW farther from a dealer than you will pay a tow back. Not that they are unreliable cars, but that our tools were far better than our competitors at BMW and I wouldn't give them a passing grade. (BMW writes their own tools). Of course I left that job in 15 years ago, maybe things have changed.

For other makes of cars third party scan tools work pretty well at diagnostics.

Much like "perfect attendance" rewards in schools, I don't think this approach is very fair to people with chronic illness. Their condition is not their fault. These expenditures aren't really discretionary. And yet, under such a plan, they'll still be spending on health care while their peers get $4000 bonuses. To a large extent this also applies to people with kids, or even to older people. All that "scrutinizing and controlling medical expenditure" is a great deal for the young and childless and fully able, at the expense of every other demographic. It's almost anti-insurance, in a way. Instead of insulating people against catastrophic expenses for things beyond their control (the basic purpose of any insurance and the thing the current system fails at) it would force even more people into medical bankruptcy.

That doesn't sound like an excellent solution to me. Maybe some variant of it could work - I do like the part about eliminating the "use it or lose it" aspect of current HSAs - but as stated it sounds pretty unfair. "This will force a cultural change" has rarely worked out that way in practice. IMX it usually leads to a worse culture where all pretense of collaboration is abandoned in favor of chasing loopholes and bogus metrics, and more often than not that's intentional.
> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Show me in the text where Congress has the power to make that distinction.

I think there’s a good free trade argument to block a service from a country that blocks all other similar services from our country and the world generally, but I don’t see an a speech argument for doing so.

If there’s a speech argument to be made, I think Facebook, YouTube, Twitter et al. should have blocked accounts from the PRC to prevent CCP officials from using it to spread their own propaganda in the West whilst not being able to freely and legally operate and do business in the PRC’s jurisdiction, but I don’t think Congress actually has the power to compel them to stop being gutless on this issue.

The court isn't tasked with doing what right. Who defines what's "right"?

The court is tasked with judging based on the laws at hand. If those laws are flawed or wrong but legal, it's upon congress to change the laws rather than the courts to decide right or wrong.

The court should be focused on legal or illegal. This is how the separation of powers work in the US.

When laws are "broken" we should be looking at congress.

>government disaster experts say bunkers aren't necessary. A Federal Emergency Management Agency 100-page guide on responding to a nuclear detonation focuses on having the public get inside and stay inside

>despite warnings they don't work

The first quote is a terrible misinterpretation of underlying reality, and the article headline commits an even worse sin of outright lying.

Given the mechanics of nuclear effects and especially fallout, of course bunkers work. They absolutely do provide protection and do so better than any improvised alternative except living way outside of any blast or fallout zone.

As for the government's statements about measures to take, they're given as a practical piece of advice for millions of people who couldn't afford a fallout bunker or have no space for one. It's the best the government can recommend knowing how few have the means for their own personal, specialized shelter.

However if you could buy one and install it, then it would absolutely help and in no way could you say that it doesn't provide protection. The government isn't saying that either. The headline editor at NPR is either an idiot or lazy.

It's actually worse. Not only does insurance function as a clerk, but it acts as a clerk whose job is to find ways to not pay. This means that medical offices also hire clerks, whose job is to jump through all the hoops that insurance comes up with so that the medical office gets paid. You could make things much more efficient by getting rid of clerks on both sides. (I mean, you'd still need some clerks. Far fewer, though.)
