No slides yet, but I finally dug up the quotation I'd promised you last year: Körner, The Pleasures of Counting (1996) p.413 ch.17 "Time and chance" in a footnote (arrived at via a path starting with Enigma decodes!):

> Social Darwinism applies the Darwinian doctrine of survival of the fittest to human society. Rich social Darwinists take wealth as the best indication of fitness to survive, academic social Darwinists take intellectual achievements as the best indication and so on. They are often haunted by the fear that the unfit do not understand this and may outbreed the fit.
Debunked? That article says the election was annulled after evidence of Russian interference was provided.

Anyway Russian interference doesn't usually involve the Kremlin giving money to voters directly (unless you are a citizen of Moldova), but through people in the country willing to sell themselves to Russia. Like "Bogdan Peșchir" in the article who donated €1 million to Tiktok users who promoted Georgescu.
The notion that the judicial system in democratic countries is in any way comparable to the judicial system in the dictatorship of russia is laughable.

In democratic countries such errors with regards to forensic evidence spark news because it is so unusual. In dictatorships like russia, nobody expects forensic methods to be valid because the court verdict does not depend on evidence, it depends on your connections to the dictator.
Such allegations are unfalsifiable and have no meaningful contribution to the discussion; and is similar to alleging someone is a "Nazi" just because they have an alternative opinion.

Hey Michael, I really liked your flagged submissions crawler. Out of curiosity, how did dang punish you for doing this? :)

I reckon all relevant submissions got immediately buried?
The important distinction is the whole “hostile foreign government” thing.

None of the stated reasons for the TikTok ban matter except this one: a country who is openly hostile towards us can control what our citizens see. That alone is enough to ban it. War with china is not some far flung fantasy, it’s something both sides have been actively preparing for for a long while.

I would wager that in a modern war scenario, your ability to bend the public support of your enemy’s war effort is going to be a huge factor in the outcome. I don’t really need to explain why; it’s self-evident.

If relations with china were better, the ban would not make sense. If this was a French social network or something, a ban would not make sense. But China is a hostile nation that explicitly aims to oppose the US. It’s not worth letting them walk all over us just out of “fairness.” I don’t want to be fair to China in a future conflict, I want to win.

The real criticism we should be making, is about how relations with china got this bad in the first place. Could there have been more diplomatic treatment? Better trade deals? Agreements on IP ownership? Etc etc… that’s a discussion that would make more sense to have. But given the current relationship between the countries, the TikTok ban is literally the bare minimum we should be doing. I expect a lot more things like this to follow.

Fact Checking is really two things and it's difficult to discern at times, especially with how Facebook, Twitter, and other's moderated. Fact checking can be a legitimate search for the truth to correct inaccuracies. It can also be used to discredit and suppress ideas you disagree with. The problem is when the first strays too far into the second, and I think that is what happened. Social network moderators feel empowered, able to control with pretty much absolute power what people see. It is perfectly logical that this power could go to their heads.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Rot Economy (2023)
You’re right about youtube shoving the main river on you but recently discovered a lot of niche youtubers with very few views in my areas of interest. I just wish I had more control in what the feed returns, for example if im irked by a certain content I should be able to escape it with a click. But thats not how youtube or facebook/instagram work. Content is targeted at you behind the scenes based on an accidental encounter you had in the past with some content and there’s no way to disable that. Don’t recommend this channel/page doesn’t work because there’s an army of channels/pages that push the same content on you. This is very powerful for paid propaganda
>Another extreme, let's say the government declared that you may speak freely but only by filling out a web form routed to Dave. Great guy. I mean they haven't technically taken away your right to speak? And someone will hear what you say.

This argument touches on the more valid defense for TikTok: restricting which people can host speech is a good way to restrict content, by punishing those who tend who host certain kinds of content. Personally, I'm okay with requiring a US company control TikTok in the US for national security reasons, but I would've preferred the law go through strict scrutiny. Laws can restrict what would usually be Constitutionally protected rights as long as they have good reasons and little room for collateral damage. If what Congress has been claiming is true, this law should pass that standard.
You chime in to showcase another thing where the USA is wrong, but you oversee the point that in no way russia is comparable to this.

In the article you linked, there is a criminal investigation, an audit and a re-test of evidence in order “to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its entire catalog of records because someone manipulated DNA evidence.

In russia, there is no investigation, because they make up evidence against their political enemies all the time.

A few scattered examples of this does nothing to counterbalance the neoliberalism and outright cronyism of NYT. They are probably a big reason why you might even (wrongly) associate neoliberalism with leftist ideology.

Back in 2004 they withheld publishing the fact that the NSA had spliced themselves into every internet backbone. (RIP Qwest).

Back in 2002/2003, they drummed for war like all the good sycophants.

A few examples of them painting some of their toadies in a good light while trashing some of their enemies is hardly evidence of “leftism”.

If the NYT were even moderately leftist, they would have endorsed Bernie Sanders.
I think the point is that it's not hypocritical to support the TikTok ban, since they don't care and/or can't influence what the EU does with respect to American social media.
Magnesium supplements also help me sleep better.

I experience muscle cramps. (Not restless leg syndrome. It's complicated.)

For others, be aware that magnesium supplements come in many forms. I don't tolerate magnesium citrate, the most common over the counter option. Tummy issues. After trying a handful of options, I chose magnesium glycine; no adverse effects and reasonable price.

This is not medical advice. YMMV. Consult your doctors.
They do - and there are ways to counteract it (the usual problem is similar to damp basements compounded by the lack of air movement and humidity control).

Regarding data centers that cost 9 figures and up:

For the largest players, there’s not a ton of variation. A combination of evaporative cooling towers and chillers are used to reject heat. This is a consequence of evaporative open loop cooling being 2-3x more efficient than a closed-loop system.

There will be multiple medium-voltage electrical services, usually from different utilities or substations, with backup generators and UPSes and paralleling switchgear to handle failover between normal, emergency, and critical power sources.

There’s not a lot of variation since the two main needs of a data center are reliable electricity and the ability to remove heat from the space, and those are well-solved problems in mature engineering disciplines (ME and EE). The huge players are plopping these all across the country and repeatability/reliability is more important than tailoring the build to the local climate.

FWIW my employer has done billions of dollars of data center construction work for some of the largest tech companies (members of Mag7) and I’ve reviewed construction plans for multiple data centers.
The place where I see this really hurts goes when Clang/LLVM gets too fancy, in situations like this:

- Function A calls function B, which returns some struct S (for instance on the stack).
- B writes S by individual (small) stores.
- A wants to copy S from some place to another (e.g. store it in some other struct).
- LLVM coalesces the individual loads/stores needed to copy S, into one or a series of large operations (e.g. 128-bit SSE2 loads+stores).
- These large loads are issued while the small stores from B are still pending, and necessarily overlap them.

Boom, store-to-load forwarding failure, and a bad stall. E.g., the Zen series seem to be really bad at this (only tried up to Zen 3), but there are pretty much no out-of-order CPUs that handle this without some kind of penalty.
All I get is "Error 405 [country] users must use proxy."

Also, YouTube helps. Search for “Power Split Device” or “e-CVT”.

Regarding other hybrid tech, it’s a bit of a crapshoot. I basically use ChatGPT with search enabled to have sources, and then ask how the system works. It’s never in the marketing materials, I guess most don’t care.

And once that's done, The Sims has almost loaded.
If TikTok is truly banned on Sunday and no action is taken to stop it, the company’s value could drop significantly—perhaps by as much as 90%.

This raises an even bigger question: Who really owns TikTok? Who is the true decision-maker behind the scenes? Who is so wealthy and powerful that they’re willing to let $100 billion vanish? The answer to that question will be more obvious.
But that's not how it's pronounced in Arabic, see my other comment.

> It would be easier to squeeze Novo

Didn't Novo pretty much tell congress that the only reason why the high price for Ozempic and Wegovy is the US system of middlemen and that lowering it's prices won't necessarily benefit the patients? The CNN reporting from the hearing is pretty interesting[1]. According to Novo Nordisk when they tried lowering the prices of their insulin product, pharmacy benefit managers dropped their products out of coverage, resulting in fewer people having access to the medication overall.

It's not entirely clear that Novo Nordisk is the company that needs to be squeezed.

I can’t understand this design. You should derive the disk’s encryption key from the user’s login password. You have a small, secure program that presents a login screen on boot. It takes the password you input and uses it to unlock the disk. It passes the username and password along to the OS so that it can take you right into your account after it boots.

As long as your encryption is decent, this makes it fundamentally impossible to read the drive from a turned-off state without knowing or cracking the password.

Regarding the complexity, I believe Toyota has been ahead of the (hybrid) competition for many years, but a PHEV still has two different systems. Everything that can go bad on a pure EV (battery, electric motors, charging system) is there and even if the ICE part is simpler, it's still something that can break.

With this said, other reports of batteries going bad on old Prius, I haven't read much about them being unreliable, so it should be fine while the car is fairly new.

The “cordele GA” example surprised me. I was expecting to get a value of “null” for the airport code since I knew that city had a population of 12K and no airport within its metropolitan statistical area. It returned an airport that was close.

Having world knowledge is a godsend. I also just tried a prompt with “Alpharetta, GA” a city north of Atlanta and it returned ATL. An NLP could never do that without a lot more work.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I agree, at least partially. I think you're underestimating the "developing willpower" part, but I do think that helping people lose weight the themselves should be the solution, not chemicals.

These weight loss drugs are conditioning people to feel satisfied with less food in their stomachs, but only while they take the medication. If you don't put the same serious effort into improving your lifestyle, you're going to end up overeating again, gaining all that weight back, and probably going back on weight loss pills. Instead of solving the unhealthy dependency on food that most seriously overweight people struggle with, you're adding a dependency on medication.

Where I live, these drugs haven't even passed medical review for weight loss yet, they're purely prescribed for diabetics. That doesn't stop the illegal second hand market (taking drugs out of the hands of diabetics that are much better served with them) unfortunately.

In general, I do think weight loss drugs are better for society as a whole, as they save people from the ticking time bomb that is obesity, but I wish we could come up with a better solution.

I established a limited liability company (LLC) for a business venture initiated with friends. My objective was to ensure that all contributors received a fair share of the equity while maintaining a simplified structure for tax purposes. Additionally, I wanted to ensure that equity shares did not confer voting rights, functioning instead as profit-sharing interests. Legal counsel assisted in structuring the entity as a single-member LLC, where I am the sole owner, with profit-sharing units allocated to other contributors. This arrangement entitles contributors to a defined percentage of the company’s profits and proceeds from events such as a sale of the company.

My only regret is that I spent a lot of money on legal fees and the company ended up not being profitable so a lot of the work went to waste. But now I can re-use the structure again if I wish to create a new venture.
