I am especially disgusted by the German leaders. Especially Robert Habeck. To think I could have voted for him. Even Macron who is as Machiavellian as they come didn't put his full support behind Israel.

Both sides have extremists who resort to terrorism, but ultimately, the Palestinians are still the victims, and the Israelis do hold the power and therefore the responsibility to put an end to the conflict. There is sort of this weird cogni

They are nothing more than pimps grooming naive teenage girls into selling their bodies.

Because smart moral people don't let themselves be used for evil and smart people also have options to work elsewhere. The guy knew he was going to get fired and he did not care because he was already determined not to work for an evil

There's politics and then there's writing code that some Israeli fascist might directly plug into a system that will decide which apartment complex to bomb next.

Both sides have resorted to terrorism. In fact that seems to be the modus operandi for both sides. What Israel does every day is also terrorism. The random bombings on civilians, the targeted bombings on key entities (doctors, journalists,

Some comments on this publication: Their approach is to train a learned downsampler of the boundary and initial conditions, and pass it through a learned coarse-grained "simulator", but the output is only a specified target proper

The way I read this article it's an old guard of elite trying to warn you about the new guard of elite. The Guardian is bitter that real news does now flow through mainstream publications like theirs anymore, and they and their ilk are

I don't get the repeated attempted public lynching of Elon Musk. What did he do so wrong to become so hated by some of the other US elites? Is it simple envy? What's so special about him that draws such negative attention? I am no

I disagree completely. Once you commit to a very well understood market like consumer vehicles, your growth potential is going to be much more grounded in reality, which means TSLA goes down, which means Tesla has less to work with. Secon

Reading this, it occurred to me that a good conscience is like a high intellect, a gift which only a minority possesses. Most contemporaries of Orwell surely convinced themselves that the way they were behaving was perfectly moral and upsta

I did not read the article. I skimmed over the Chinese section. I am not Chinese nor do I ever intend to live in China. I skimmed over the Russian and Turkish sections for similiar reasons. I was expecting there to be a section about censor

I cannot relate to this Michael. When I am in a relationship I have tunnel vision. Prettiest girl in the world could come up to me and I would walk right past her to go spend time with the girl of my obsession. Ironically I feel as though t

Honestly I hate this new trend of AI/ML papers not even describing the model anymore. They used a graph neural network model called M3Gnet. It's mentioned in the APPENDIX.

Have you considered being a product owner instead of an individual contributor?

I find it suspicious that they would use user engagement and retention and none of the normal benchmarks to test their model.

Something they don't tell you about Germany: there's loads of corruption that is so normalized that nobody even recognizes it as such. Siemens is one of the big pushers of gas technology in Germany. One of the excuses they use is

Interesting anecdote. But I don't envy Fenyman. I would rather be like the guys I know you can just sit down and get to work conscientiously without any such intrusive thoughts whatsoever. Those guys have a superpower they don't a

I don't think the "weird nerd" who is obsessed with the truth ever existed. Is the lamentation that academics today are less objective, and presumably the tech and finance workers would have been more objective? I don't

Just guessing but maybe heat pumps have a lower max power rating, so that you'd need better insulation to reach a desired temperature during colder days.

The point is not to get the socialized housing yourself. The point is that the private market rent prices go down, which is objectively true of Vienna.

by goethes_kind 3y ago
Governments should just build a bunch of socialized housing and rent it at a rent just high enough to offset the expenditure (i.e. way below private market value). That would put downward pressure on rents. That is what Vienna did and they

"Season battery storage" sounds very wrong to me. Maybe he is talking about some kind of flow battery where you can just add more tanks of electrolyte. But we don't have that yet.

I was talking about carbon neutral synthetic kerosene which is a step beyond green hydrogen in the power-to-gas pipeline.

by goethes_kind 3y ago
Maybe I am naive, but let's say that using liquid hydrogen instead of synthetic kerosene would use 1/3 of the input energy. OK. To me, it seems way more feasible to triple the amount of input energy capacity (build more solar, win

Stealing money and fraud are very serious crimes, because they have the power to completely destroy a person's life, just as much as a punch or a kick can, in fact much more.

Every industry is trying to claim that every other industry is THE worrying source of GHG emissions. And every individual points out at the activities of others as being more polluting. It is all a bit self-serving.

Technical companies tend to be more modestly valued than consumer oriented companies. Why? Maybe part of it is because of the inflation of tech stocks. Maybe because if you are providing a new service or product for a highly technical mark

I was thinking about this recently. What is your definition of meaningful work? I am myself also not a fan of consumerism. But is not most of our economy essentially spinning the hamster wheel of consumerism, in one way or another? Think ab
