On the Google campus there are at least two wifi networks available, one regular one that provides good connectivity, and one that provides degraded connectivity simulating a 2G cellphone connection. Of course one can simulate this easily w

Can you elaborate on the vice part? My mental image of Japan in that period is pretty conformist. Which kind of vice was rampant?

Is dopamine fasting really a thing? Sounds very dubious to me, dopamine gets a bad rap but it's actually a very essential chemical in the brain for all kinds of things. Maybe what is meant by the term is more 'digital detox'

I think people were pretty blown away by the mRNA vaccines for example.

The end of history has not been reached. Just because we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean fertility trends won't reverse in certain places at some point. Governments have by no means exhausted their means to effect such a cha

Not sure if this is what the parent was talking about, but the risk equation changes significantly for real estate that you own to live in it, both because of government incentives and because you can always derive value from the asset thro

It's a neat idea, but take the second photo in the article for example: The guy gawking (well who knows, but it could be construed that way) at the women doesn't even have his face visible. Yet just from the clothing and context,

Not really, you can do it with a cable tether and a counterweight. I think Zubrins Mars Direct called for such a setup.

The fraction of science that can ever be applied to engineering is vanishingly small though. How will you ever get to that kind of standard for things like astrophysics, particle physics, mathematics, most of biology? Do you really think th

Call me a sheep, but if your distrust of other people runs so deep that you can't trust any source of scientific knowledge, from within or without academia, I feel a great sadness for you. Some scepticism is always needed but this seem

I was thinking more along the lines of automated discovery of such heuristics.

What I want to know is if it is possible to do the opposite: extract novel, useful and human-understandable heuristics from a chess engine?

Hm the main content of a scientists life in my experience is really not measured by mainstream media appearances. And if anything, he is probably more known now than before [0], so even in the sense of crude 'celebrity status', he

Reminds me a bit of Kim Stanley Robinson. He is really from a previous generation of authors, but still publishing.

Does civilian space program and the ASAT capability live in the same organization in Russia? Seems like those are two quite different things, and I'm not sure the obsolescence of Soyuz bothers strategic weapon operators so much.

Ugh I must have been half asleep when writing the original comment (toddler woke up at 4am). I mistook your comment for a knee-jerk libertarian reaction, but what you propose does make a lot of sense. I stand corrected.

It depends on the alternative you are suggesting. No taxes? A bureaucracy so vast that can handle all imaginable edge cases? Individual discretion of the tax assessor? I think all these could fix this particular problem but might lead to wo

It's possible for a policy to result in an net positive even if it entails some individual negative examples.

What I am saying you could hack the power to torque factor to be so high you don't really have to exert very much force at all.

The pedaling aspect is also not really what matters, because you can in principle reduce the load factor so much that the pedals also just become a fancy throttle, no?

Maybe it also depends on the field. In computational neuroscience, which is a much smaller field than molecular biology or genetics, it is quite common to cite foundational papers in cutting edge papers. One such paper I just pulled up has

They measure the total distortion over the baseline, so in that sense it's a single pixel. But I think measurements from several interferometers can be combined to give some very limited spatial resolution.
