And you're missing the fact that what the current generations in power are doing is not sustainable in the sense that regardless of what young generations do right now, they DEFINITELY won't be having the lifestyle that we're

You use the words "illusion" and "being free", so I feel comfortable putting the issue into terms where those words also have similar connotations: I commit a crime if I buy heroin instead of acknowledging my issues and

The end of your message is so much worse than whatever you imagine young people to be doing. "Good luck", really? Condescending much? Also you're pretty damn wrong about those young people: they're way more active than y

That's true. In the absence of nuclear that's going to be the case. That is, until you can't afford to buy the gas anyway. It would have been more to-the-point and sincere of them to discuss ways to mess with people so that t

I'm a "former young man" too. There is no age to be acting well or badly with regards to this debate, and there isn't even an absolute metric for how well or badly one does when it comes to the issue. But I know I don&#x

This is a false dichotomy. You could very well get your drivers license and have the ability to drive a car but not own one, for example. Reducing your consumption doesn't mean accepting something that prevents you from functioning at

I know they really need to ensure that they can buy their fourth house, but this sort of stuff is revealing just how much disconnect there is between those who push for oil and the coming generation: “What’s our message going forward?” Mr.

Everyone likes to be upset about something here! I did not suggest it, I'm merely stating the truth. You CAN do that, therefore the point of the person I was replying to isn't the one they were trying to make, which allowed me to

Death is always close. You can always throw yourself under a train, or a car can hit you while crossing the road. Heart attack. Robbery. Whatever it is. Keeping some distance between you and a designed act to end yourself comfortably is hel

The freeing bit in that is the sense of agency and control. We are very very attached to those things because in the construction blueprints of our minds we anchor a sense of self and a sense of happiness unconditionally with control and ag

I hadn't realized just how differently people with even the most visually noticeable disabilities were treated in the first half of the 20th century. Much more recent times have seen some pretty cool content related to wheelchair sport

I remember being told to watch out for side effects when switching from an SSRI (Trintellix) to a RIMA (Manerix), which is essentially a de-fanged MAOI. Younger psychiatrist kept pushing for the brand-new SSRI, I kept pushing back. Never me

There's a likely future for someone boarding self-driving equipment: higher-quality (of car, traffic conditions, wait, etc) depending on price. And public transit with dedicated/prioritized lanes (by law).

It makes sense, thanks. I guess I hadn't really thought about the fact that having a program written isn't having a program that is mathematically verified (as we likely all know, this is a particularly costly procedure and can ha

I think I can see it: they write the software without having a clear proof (that, say, it is mathematically inconsistent and will crash). Then they execute it for long enough for its self-test phase(s) to be reasonably validated (with all t

I finished the book last night. It's not a long read in terms of pages, but in the first half particularly it took me quite a few stops to ponder about what had been laid in few sentences. Greg Egan is awesome. (Sort-of SPOILERS undern

I could imagine that if for example the x axis is our normal time, the y axis would be timelines. That is, you would move to an entirely different configuration of the world for the given space coordinates and the same value of time on the

If a large group happens to have enough issues that it's a constant social debate, and that large group happens to be PAID to be in the group (as opposed to doing something without a reward, or being born into a condition), it's a

Even in the classical world we measure that pool table by interacting with it. If I stand next to the table and see it, it's because light hit it and then hit my eyes - but I've absorbed whatever light might have gone on its cours

Your assessment seems fair to me. Computers and humans aren't in a fight to win at something, they can just reinforce the lacks of the other. What might happen is that we gradually engineer a smaller and smaller comparative gap between

It's quite valid. I think the biggest hurdle is noticing that when you mess up hard with git the hurdles are affecting everyone down the line, possibly irreversibly. If you mess up with mercurial, the hurdles are affecting YOU locally

Mercurial is great at an org with lots of junior devs, because people really have to try hard to mess things up compared to git. It's very bad if you want to attract people who feel comfortable with git alone (despite the fact that the

Notably for this there's autojump[0], z[1] and fasd[2]. More work than an efficient script for sure, but more fancy options around it all. Autojump works pretty well with zsh (and before that with fish) for me. [0] https://g

Not to mention that from 1800 to 1930 the world population doubled (1 billion to 2 billion, passing the 1.5 mark just around 1900). While this pales in comparison with the 6 billion humans added since, that's a significant change - par

But your comparison (and fear) only holds if you believe that in 2020 we could see alchemy exist without being outright debunked. This is what I'm saying is different in the world of 2020 vs even just 110 years ago (phrenology). Gender
