Honestly I feel like an idiot living in a country that pretends free trade is still a thing while other countries are building healthy productive industries with state interventionism. In 20 years half of europe will be industrially dead, y

That's on point. I've witnessed a similar transition within a company, and every time they tell you "automate X" and you ask "Define X", you get a wrong answer. Even basic calculations are often done incorrectl

Well, he's not the only one living on a moving vehicle. Tons of homeless people get bus passes and ride around all day and night. A train ride is less bumpy, sure, but it's effectively the same. Although what probably happens is t

Hey, now that we proved that permanent attrition wars are a "viable" option that won't kick in a full scale war, we can start more! Think of all the profits! In fact under the threat of a full blown nuclear war, we can bring

sudo hyperfocus-like-I'm-a-sophomore-again Sorry but 10 years of effort and no software trick helped me stop procrastinating, except pulling the cables off the router or going to a library.

That's an interesting article. I'm aware of this sort of radiative cooling, but usually convection and conduction, along with evaporative cooling will be much, much more important than radiative cooling. I'd like to see so

I'm guessing he just froze water when the temperature dropped below zero at night, and everything else is nonsense.

It would be nice to mention at least an estimate of the reserve size and it's viability.

I recently became part of this statistic after my lifestyle changed. I went from having a job that involved some walking around to 100% computer work, commuting with a car instead of public transport and not having time to cook. The worst t

I wholeheartedly agree. I used to visit my grandpa's village every year (somewhere in europe) surrounded by beautiful mountains. The nature was accessible by everyone - warranted they'd do a 2 hour drive on rough road, get a hikin

I wouldn't expect google to mess this up but then again someone probably calculated value produced vs project cost and tossed this one at the bottom of the pile 10 times already. 66/100k people (0.066%, close to the definition for

How about this scenario: In 20 years, this treatment is standard, but there's a catch: it's bundled with a wider behavioral modification treatment protocol, whereby they first reduce the cravings for drugs and alcohol, then they s

This sort of pathology is not present on all court systems. In many countries the prosecutor is not judged on "performance" metrics like conviction rate but on merit as judged by his senior peers. Objectively the job of the pr

This, alongside just-in-time printing, is why I've not bought a single book from amazon in my entire life. Do society a favour and support a smaller, independent bookstore.

You make the assumption that consumers want what they buy, consumers will just buy what's in front of them. In places dominated by big supermarket chains consumers have a lot less choice than it seems, as marginal costs for shopping

>How do you determine the threshold I think most people will agree the threshold to be in the few millions. Some will argue for 5 and few for 50, but nobody can produce $1B of value. Take control of it, sure, but produce, no.

Most doctors will be able to turn around, pick the corresponding textbook from their library and show you where they learned something. Or point you to an actual clinical case they had to handle. If they had to, somehow.

WebMD lists facts. ChatGPT will output things that sound plausible. It's like comparing a medical textbook with the town lunatic. Not the same.

Well, I would, but there's not that many of us. By 'us' meaning people who are willing and able to leave emotional attachments out of the fact-seeking process.

Thank you for posting this. I wanted to read a reasonable voice for a while, and I couldn't find anything. Search engines, traditional and LLM-based (ie ChatGPT) will actively censor all dissident voices, and it's just so tiring b

A 90fps 8k UHD 10-bit movie that's 3 hours long is 120TB uncompressed. You might think that's too much, muh compression algorithms etc, but we have consumer devices that can use this kind of storage, and no economic means of trans

Very true, and not just about privacy. Cynicism is flourishing in our societies for two reasons: -It's supported by those in a position of power, as a cynic is someone who stops trying to counter them, often successfully. -It enab

What's more concerning is the development of new types of weapons. Similar to WW1 I think many security consultants and leaders will slip into a mindset that these advanced weapons will mean winning wars fast and cheap. Which will not
