The US would still need to outgrow its other problems if the US in general is to remain solvent. I am pretty doubtful that it can.

Even if such promises were made and indeed kept for some people at no point that I am aware of was the situation ever long term stable. AFAIK Soviet Union guaranteed dignity in retirement and planned to not have to pay for it through achiev

Organization and complaining about disorganization stem from the same source, an intolerance to disorder.

It compiles to JS, one possible read would be that TS compiles to JS which runs 10x faster due to optimizations that can be made.

My read on why Go and not AOT C# is it would be more difficult to get a C# programmers to give up idiomatic OOP in C# than it would be to get C# programmers to switch to Go. Go is being used as a forcing function to push dev cultural change

I think it's now at 1% $6.3M of $650M revenue which is a lot for a CEO failing to keep the company viable from a clearly obvious eventuality.

I don't remember where, I think the reason 25% sticks in my mind is because I usually do 20% and tend not to think about it. I did stop going to restaurants because of it but I would still go to fast food / take outs and then they

I know these things about Mars and am still unconvinced. A fully independent manufacturing pipeline is completely nuts especially at the quality and quantity levels that we are used to. Many materials are not viable except as biproducts of

I wonder if things like tipping culture will encourage people to eat at home and be more mindful about their consumption. I hate being extorted for 25% tips and then told if I can’t afford the 25% then I shouldn’t be eating out. Kind of h

Im more of the opinion that even with world wide nuclear fallout, dangerous viruses, runaway climate change and just about anything else I can think of it’ll still be safer to have colonies on Earth than on Mars. The Marian low density atmo

That works until it doesn’t. Nukes still allow for proxy wars and that’s what we’ve been having, it’s not like the conflicts will go away when you can’t use proxies because they now have nukes of their own. Trading a lower frequency of war

I don't need 512GB of RAM but the moment I do I'm certain I'll have bigger things to worry about than a $10K price tag.

They do not, conservatism is seen as serving as a governor for liberalism and without conservatism liberalism would fail faster. Neo-reactionary is anti-enlightenment where some are accelerationists and others are not. The accelerationist s

For 3D graphics I think the main issue quaternions helps with is for interpolations. Depending on your use case that may or may not be important to you.

USAID spends ~$2B p.a. on food from US farmers, I assume the presumption that without that backdoor subsidiary farms making less money will be cheaper. Though total output value is ~$200 p.a. so that’s %1, but price is set at the margin so

If the therapy had not worked would that be evidence that the therapy is not effective? If so the fact that it did work must be at least some evidence that the therapy is effective. Simple Bayes factor, you can't have one without the o

Ok, some people are crazy therefore all anecdotal data is useless? Seems like a bit of a stretch. Someone tells you the weather is nice outside do you demand to see a peer reviewed study to that effect?

Fair point, I did misread the comment as a selection bias as opposed to a 'Reductio ad absurdum' argument. Insulin and Ozempic are both bioactive peptides, which is not to say BPC157 is anywhere as strong as either of them, but it

by cjbgkagh 2y ago
I am aware of survivorship bias but for that to apply BPC157 would have to be killing people, this peptide is widely used so if it was killing people we would know due to investigations into their deaths. People usually hear about this stuf

A fair amount of anecdotal data though, it has helped me and others that I know. While the effect is pretty mild it is positive. Having a lifelong chronic condition I’m very sensitive to changes and have no discernible placebo effect. I’ve

Just run of the mill stuff, pay-to-play to such an extent that everyone in a public service department that I sell software into all have jobs with vendors lined up for after they retire. They are very open about it. Most other vendors have

I don’t know, incomplete information all round. I consider it plausible but also consider Elon to be a rather unreliable source. Part of this seems like JJ Abram's mystery box storytelling where new mysteries are opened before the old

I assume this was in response to Elons claim of finding a number of people aged 150 years old and the response that this was due to COBOL default date and how this was an example of the people doing the datamining were incompetent. Someone

Don’t they have voting CPUs? If one goes out of sync discard that result and restart it. And wouldn’t the value end up on the CPU the same if it was hardcoded or not? Perhaps there could be some verification done with hardcoded loop bounds

You’re not empathizing with them for their benefit, and you’re not punishing them by not empathizing.

This is basically what democratic strategist James Carville has been telling people. I think this is the likely outcome - if Trump does not crash and burn, which is a big if, there will be at least 12 years of a reactionary government which

I think it’s safe to say that corporations are sensitive to political costs which is both a reason to adopt DEI and a reason to abandon DEI. I wish corporations were efficient money making machines, but there is so much agency cost with man

Why would Larry want to change your behavior, or even think about you at all? Requiring such reciprocity as a prerequisite only hurts yourself making it less likely you’ll achieve change or at least the kind of changes you want.
