Observing my own brain for a second, it seems like one of the risks of reading a lot of history is you can get the impression that we’re much more wise about how to deal with geopolitics than we are, because you are necessarily reading something that benefits from hindsight. I think people try and get at, what were people thinking at the time (there’s a whole exhibit in the world war 2 museum about the decision to enter the war) but that feels emotionally obfuscated by the fact that most of what you’re reading is post-hoc analysis.

But like 50 years from now, everything that’s going on will seem really clear.
Fair point on 1, although I personally view that as extrapolation from an incomplete theory. But perhaps I have not read enough of the evidence for that bound.

I think you underestimate the complexity of systems with more than a handful of interacting particles. Yes, you can extrapolate with what we have but I think the answers you get are likely to be totally wrong outside of a very controlled regime. People simulating large scale interaction have to make a lot of simplifying assumptions, which need to be tuned to the problem at hand to be effective. Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is poorly understood.
That's a good point. It's amazing what a $44 billion propaganda platform and a quarter billion in cash can buy you.

Fortunately there are still a lot of alternatives. Don't think they can keep papering over it for 4 or even 2 years.

Attended an elementary school in Canada in the 80's. There was a shop trailer that went from school to school. It had all the wood working tools like band saw, or drill press. My parents still have some of the items I made in it.

Perhaps it's dumb but I'm a bit skittish about being obvious when i'm looking at features of a competitor worth hundreds of millions. (I think a stake in treatwell went for 180 million a good while ago.)

Couldn't they just set the operating system's default SCALE instead?
I'm not sure how much value this has.

Ultimately a human still labels the samples, and it is this labelling that is the most likely point of fraud. I.e. I label this sample as X, but it is really Y.

This is how the slightly smarter people commit fraud of their Western blots etc. (The even more stupid fraudsters do crude cut-and-paste photoshop jobs).
It's not any more surreal than the extreme shift in the other direction we had before. If anything, what you are experiencing now is just the expecte (over)correction to that.
> I would bet on geothermal over nuclear in a second for future electricity generation.

I don't understand that though; geothermal power is on paper much more low-tech, safer, cheaper, and deployable everywhere compared to nuclear. Why didn't it become the default way to generate power?

Or is deep drilling in fact more difficult or expensive than nuclear fission?
Thank you very much! Once i have an easily shared demo I definitely will!
"The same fun" but also likely orders of magnitude more efforts (and headaches).

> real question is if Amazon developers low noise drones will the people than allow them, or are they completely anti-drone

Who in the article seems anti-drone? They all seemed to go out of their way to hedge complaints.

Amazon shouldn’t have located a depot, which necessitates low flying and presumably lots of noisy acceleration, in a residential neighbourhood. They ought to have done what they did in the other examples: base out of residential-adjacent industrial areas.
They think the UN is a world government, with the authority to exercise military, judicial, and economic power over the United States.

You have a view and it informs your rhetoric. I hope it's not a disservice to you to suggest this is standpoint where essentially 'we' know all about the universe and everything in it. Details? We'll flesh those out as we go along but basically the game is over - in the grand scheme of things. Put another way, the view here is that Hoyle's Black Cloud (the story where a vast mass of gases has condensed into a thinking being totally eclipsing human mental capabilities) is just like us but has just gone much further than we have gone on a well-beaten philosophical path. This is not the place for further discourse but I don't buy it.
If government has access to all those fields the data isn't private.

Your argument makes me think we really SHOULD make all government data public. Then people would have an incentive to not let governments have so much of their private data.

Belarusian protests were doing well until putin brought his own riot police to help.
I've been subject to Wing flyovers, when they first started it was bad, really bad. Like giant mosquitos you could hear clearly from half a mile away. On one particularly bad afternoon we got 6 (highly invasive) flyovers directly over us in less than 30 minutes while working in the garden. I would get "drone tinnitus" , the high pitch noise was very noticeable but would fade out to the border of perception on each flight such that after so much exposure I would begin to hear drones when there were none. It was awful. We considered selling the house and wondered if there would even be anywhere safe to move to.

It's better now for 3 reasons:

1) I think they have newer models that are quieter so more distant deliveries can't be heard.

2) they altered delivery path such that they don't fly directly back over a house reducing the double tap you would get being on the flight path.

And most importantly:

3) I don't think they do much business anymore, they reduced their offerings and I think they hardly do any deliveries. good riddance.
I know they aren't the most competent, but I expected to have someone competent advising them.
You're missing that those 80% are not the same people every year. The IRS definitely doesn't keep a database of who is married or not, nor are they scouring every counties database for changes. I'm not sure where you're getting the "they will just send you a letter" part.
Or it would make us look for ways to have government do fewer things.

I moved schools in the middle of 7th grade, and my new school made a big deal about "grandfathering" me in to letting me take both Home Ec and Shop the semester I moved, because ordinarily they wouldn't let someone take both. They were both easily the most valuable classes I ended up taking, as far as my daily life goes.

Yes, they use superposition of the most "classical" quantum states (coherent states). These are called (Schrödinger) cat states, since his thought experiment was about a quantum superposition of a very classical object (a cat): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_state
There was a Tiktok trend where (typically) women were shocked to discover the (typically) men in their lives thought about the Roman Empire as much as they do, often on a daily basis. The question is why.

To me, it comes down to Rome not being the oldest or even the necessarily the largest or longest-surviving empire. It's that it's the most well-documented ancient civilization. Sites like Pompeii and Heculaneum provide a time capsule into ordinary existence that is often missing from ancient accounts that typically talk about kings, emperors, wars and so forth. In addition, we have a ton of texts from that time, including the direct writings of the likes of Julius Caesar.

Rome continued to influence European history beyond the fall of Constantinopole up until the 19th century through the Holy Roman Empire.

But the impact is still felt today. Classics such as Marcus Aurelius have arguably been co-opted into the alt-right pipeline.

There's also interesting psychology at play here. People like to imagine themselves in such a world. Where in the real world they might be just an average working Joe, people rarely imagine themselves as being peasants or slaves or a grunt in the army despite those being the majority of people.

I find that last point needs highlighting because there is an effort to reshape our current society, driven by real yet misplaced legitimate anger. Human ego being what it is, nobody acknolwedges the statistical likelihood that if you're suffering or oppressed in the current organization of society, you're probably going to be oppressed or otherwise suffer in a new society, particularly one built around an autocrat.

But when the central organizing principle becomes cruelty, perhaps aspiring to being a Brownshirt is the goal.
At least in Europe, building transmission lines is a much longer process than building solar. Partially because of the complexity of acquiring land from a large number of owners, but more importantly because of NIMBYs that do everything to oppose new transmission lines that might disrupt the landscape. And some of the NIMBYs own the land you need to build the transmission line. Building a 1000km high capacity transmission line is a multi-decade project in this part of the world
In some parts, due to cost of supply and taxation. Demand for energy is higher than ever.
Trucks running on gasoline is a very small fraction of the climate crisis. Manufacture, maintenance, and scrappage of trucks/drones/whatever delivery device you choose (along with generating the power needed to run them) dwarfs tailpipe emissions.
> One good aspect they didn't push is that this is ideal for electro farming. We have hyper effective electric moisture traps now and electro nitrogen fixing- combine that and this can remove one need for driving trucks through.

Could you tell us more about this? I remember seeing a user comment a few years ago discussing the prospect of dumping excess electricity into nitrogen production but I had assumed it wasn't feasible. Does this technology really exist?
What's the right balance on perfect-is-the-enemy-of-the-good here?

On the one hand, centralization makes a potentially low-interest or high-expense experience more viable. On the other hand, equity.

When is it appropriate to trade some equity for an experience that would otherwise be unfeasible in a every-school-does-it-themselves cause everyone's budget cutting?
Completely agreed. Distance will impose substantial challenges, but the good thing is that that's really the "only" big challenge there is. I think many people have this mental model where the Moon is easy and Mars is hard, perhaps because we've already set foot on the Moon and so clearly it can't be that bad.

But if somehow both of these bodies were orbiting around Earth, Mars would be just orders of magnitude more straight forward than Mars, and I think it's relatively likely we'd already have permanent outposts, if not colonies, there. So the mental model of it being viewed as a stepping stone is somewhat misleading. The Moon is hard!

And also I don't think the distance will be that bad. We've already had 374 day ISS stays which is far longer than any possible transit to Mars (though nowhere near as long as a late-stage mission abort would entail) and the overall effects of such a stay were not markedly different than significantly shorter stays on the ISS. So it seems very unlikely that even a late stage emergency abort would be fatal.
Molten Salt reactors are designs from the 60s-70s and afaik no one ever built on commercially. No one was willing to take a gamble on building a new design when we had working reactors already and approval for those was already difficult enough.
> The development of Firefox costs around half a billion $ per year.

Are you sure that USD 500 million goes into the development of Firefox each year?
Or does it go to funding of questionable Mozilla Foundation projects?

Admittedly, I have not checked the numbers recently but last I looked into it I got the impression that Firefox development was an embarrassingly small amount of what Mozilla spends their money on.

"I would bet on geothermal over nuclear in a second for future electricity generation. Its so much more promising, has a tech curve, and has far more innovation and advanced tech adoption."

I'm glad that you are so bullish on a technology that still has very little to show for itself.

It should also be noted that the economics of geothermal installs also are the same ones as drilling for oil and gas -- so the cheaper drilling gets, the cheaper access to competitive resources.

Majority of electrical power - solar + nuclear is our best energy shot. Heating probably go with heat pump for 90% of the market.

That said - all of the above approach (including geothermal) - it shouldn't be this insipid argument of Geothermal vs Nuclear.

I had not, but TIL about xenon poisoning and that it was a major contributing factor in the Chernobyl accident (the tl;dr is they did a test where they reduced the fission rate; there was a buildup of Xenon 135 because of that, which caused the reaction to not start back up as fast as the operators thought it should. They removed the control rods almost completely, and when the Xenon stopped doing its thing they had a runaway reaction on their hands.
<< Doesn't look like you understand that allowing the promotion of Nazism will do exactly that, promote Nazism.

You don't have to promote, but it would help if you did not actively suppress, which ties back my original point about being able to actually track what is going on. That is the problem with some people. They really do think they can control what and how people think. No. Scratch that. They really think they can influence how they will think.

<< Not really my problem, as there are laws in place where I'm from.

There are laws here too, but lately some were rather hellbent on going around them by 'partnering'.
> People aren't having kids because of stagnant real wages and soaring home prices.

That's proably a non-insiginficant factor but unlikely to be the only one. Poorer people have never had problems reproducing in any society.

I think media exposure plays a much bigger part. Not porn exactly, but anything that glorifies a "free" lifestyle over settling down.
Apple was really far behind in the LLM race. And now they have to come up with a solution that will work on 3 billion devices, across every country, and with the level of control/polish/mistake-free that we come to expect from Apple products.

It's not easy for them.

As an AAPL holder, my biggest worry is that by the time they come up with something decent, it won't matter because no one will use it. Everyone will use ChatGPT or whatever is the best. I'm a believer that LLMs make iOS less important because the LLM app could potentially replace a huge portion of iOS functionality, including many apps that you'd pay for.

> War financing is incredibly complex and even more so when your only source is some paper notes from several hundred years ago. Whether you believe that or not basically boils down to how you want to see it.

Perhaps so. But you're the one who made the initial claim so confidently and definitively. To now say "it's complex and based only on a few notes, and depends on how you want to see it" is basically the same as saying "my original claim was my spin on it, which I was asking everyone to take as accurate".
It’s not a conspiracy, more like a force of nature.

There’s a way to make a buck? Somebody will do it.

It hurts other people? Doesn’t matter, still going to do it.

It’s overall a net harm to society, but the costs aren’t borne by the business making the profit? Still going to do it.
I guess I just don't see much value in using enums at all. My most memorable experience with them is when our production system went down because a third-party service added a value to an enum.
It is quite expensive, the heating reserves are finite and when you look closely at the details there are a lot of challenges. It isn't quite as easy as putting a pipe in the planet and pumping heat up (even though that is how it is portrayed).
Because there is no real demand, barely any benefit, but many problems it would bring.

First it would need a new standard which decouples the domain-part from it's DNS and allow senders to find their target-server independent of the domain-part. Which means, there has to be someone who maintains a list of all valid decoupled mail-addresses. This would be a goldmine for spam. And you would need to adapt all software using mail, to support it. This could take a decade or longer to execute.

Second, this solution has to work even when the domain itself doesn't exist anymore, has to be synced with the official mail-server, which also means any new domain-owners mail-servers. You basically wouldn't have full control over your own systems anymore on the user-part, and have an additional external liability which could harm you service.

And third: Domains and usernames are valuable property, unlike phone numbers. There is serious money in this game, and regular lawsuits over who has the right to own a name. And this would poison the system and open door for abuse and even more lawsuits.

At the end, the little benefit is uncomparable to the problems it would bring.

Anecdotally, I've heard the term "doomscrolling" being used by a reasonable number of different people in different circles to refer to passively consuming "bitesize" content (e.g. social media, short text posts or short videos) for extended periods of time, regardless of content.

If you look at the definitions on Urban Dictionary[1], the ones from 2020/2021 are in the same vein as what you've described and what Wikipedia says, but more recent 2024/2025 definitions generalise the concept and lose the "negative news" element.

Always fascinating how language evolves and how quickly the meaning of words can change.

I guess the difference is horses and cars travel on roads. You can choose to stay away from roads if you wish , meaning you are not subject to the noise.

Unfortunately drones can fly anywhere, and so there is no choice in having to hear the noise pollution.
Musk and his ilk of neoreactionary groyper tech-feudalists definitely have a master plan. The Heritage Foundation definitely has a master plan (they published it and everything.) I don't know if I credit Trump with the stability of character to have a "master plan" beyond whatever satisfies his ego in the moment, but it does kind of seem like he isn't really entirely in charge.
Is it super rare to not feel hunger? I only feel hunger if I've had something sugary. Artificial sweeteners really confuse my body too. My proxy for hunger is tiredness or irritability which is my signal to eat. On a number of occasions had my body go into a panic with heart racing and sweating when I've forgotten and I'll get something quick like an orange juice or chocolate bar or anything that's around. Even while this is happening, I'll just think right I should eat something like it's no big deal. One time though my vision was starting to fade to black when I realized what was happening, I was able to vocalize asking someone to bring me some juice or pop. It's very rare that I'll have any of these moments as I tend to eat out of routine or simply as something to do when I have time to pass.

Why not just use CSS-in-JS at this point? With functions and if statements, you now have two full Turing-complete programming languages in the browser.

Why? If the problem is JS bundle parse time, couldn't you just have a special kind of <script> tag that opts out of compilation and runs in interpreted mode only, and stick your layout JS in there? Having two entirely separate languages seems like such a waste of effort both on the platform side, and on the web developer side having to learn so many things.

4. The results can still be valid if there’s a lot of random noise in the sample. There are about 10,000 voters here. If 9,000 vote at random and 1,000 watch the films and vote on merit, there’s about a 2% chance of getting a different result than if all 10,000 watched and voted on merit.
