... or circumstances now select for "high agency" humans, and those humans propagate.

Not sure why we think normal evolution wouldn't just route around such problems.

Everyone, every last one of us, does this every single day, all day, and only occasionally do we deviate to check ourselves, and often then it's to save face.

A Nobel prize was given for related research to Daniel Kahneman.

If you think it doesn't apply to you, you're definitely wrong.

If that happens, the spacecraft will turn off all non-essential systems to conserve power and remain in flight.

Uhhhhhh...

I guess they mean "in operation"? Not sure how it could do anything but remain in flight.

I'm surprised you've not heard of the author (Sean Baxter). He's pretty well known among people who are interested in c++ standards proposals.

He single handedly wrote his own C++ front-end and then proceeded to implement a butt load of extensions which other members of the committees poo-pood as being to hard to implement in the compiler.

Every couple of weeks he implements something new. He's a real joy to follow.

The weather was unusually mild for the season, and Kelly thought he might even have time to “bag” a second Munro,

I really hate when people use very uncommon terms without defining them. (or sometimes even people's names)

It's not that I couldn't make a guess based on context, but it's distracting, and I feel like my eyes must have skipped over something and I often keep going back over the text to see what I must have missed reading.

I imagine this is sometimes caused by sloppy editing, especially when they refer to a last name of a person who has yet to be introduced in the article, but I think sometimes it's a deliberate choice and I object.

I wonder if cheapish EVTOL travel might make a difference here. I.e. if CEOs effective travel time is reduced, does that affect headquarter location selection.

Do you ever talk to yourself silently? How fast do you read?

Jinx.

Have you considered explicitly using weed or shrooms as an on-ramp to exercising this ability? You could devote some time and slowly build up your ability.

Just as you can learn to wiggle your toes independently, or play the piano, or learn a new language, which require wiring new pathways, it's possible to learn to wire new pathways to non-motor areas of your brain. But it likely requires the same amount of effort.

I believe that developing the ability to mentally visualize more vividly is the explicit goal of some certain kinds of meditation. If you're interested you might look into "fire kasina".

But how would we know though right? I mean without having an A/B comparison.

Sure it didn't stop the destruction, but I don't think that was ever in the cards. But it might have helped by some amount even if small. 1%? 2%? 6%?

If it reduced destruction by 2%, would that have made the campaign worth it?

I think there's a chance it did do some good in that it was in enough awareness to end up somewhere on a foreign policy agenda higher than it might have otherwise been, and thus policies might have been negotiated in trade agreements, treaties, company due diligence source tracing, etc.

* Try talking to ChatGPT via the voice interface. * Spend time listening to yourself either directly or via recording. Repeat words and sentences which don't quite sound right. Train your ear to attend to the difference between what you say and how it is/would be said by others.

Can you really not imagine how a nation state could get valuable intelligence by having an intimate knowledge of how a large portion of another nation states population is thinking?

non-political is political. Do you imagine that there aren't people making political TikToks? Or that non-political themes don't affect politics? Or that bubble control doesn't affect politics?

Which city, and how long has that been the case? There's likely quite a bit of backed up demand. Typically when supply doesn't meet demand, the price goes up, the supply responds, and only after that does the price level off (or come down).

Think you can find any of those discussions? I'd be curious to read/browse.

I've always thought describing "whataboutism" as a logical fallacy as misunderstanding the broader picture.

I don't think that most people who use "whataboutism" are actually arguing that the "whatabout" logically negates the adversary, but rather politically negates the adversary. I.e. "you might be right about my behavior, but why should I pay the cost of changing if you don't yourself change".

If it's approached as a political argument rather than a logical one, or rather that the politics are acknowledged, then it's easier to get around it and return to the logic part: e.g. "You're right that there are things I do that might need to change, and I'm willing to talk about that. I'd like to address this first."

There are also reasons to address both things at once as admitting fault early results in ceding bargaining power to the adversary when there's not trust that they'll be as honest in their own assessment once you've been honest with your own.

Perhaps you should.

A few things things:

- causation is difficult to establish

- symptoms can sometimes themselves be a proximal cause

- treatment of symptoms is one way to determine causation

IMO "Read the docs" is not a reasonable response to "what is it?"

Typically someone wants to know the most basic question before devoting time to diving into the docs.

They need to cut down the length of that 18 minute video. It takes them way too long to get to the point. Should be like 5 min max.

Yes. Even in Canada they already have something similar with their carbon taxes. IIRC, tax is collected all year and returned at the end based on income rather than consumption.

Not sure if it would technically be considered a negative tax, but the effect is similar.

Step 1: Calculate the effect on local utility rates.

Step 2: Create a new tax which brings in 150% revenue of the calculated effect which applies progressively on power users one standard deviation above the mean

Step 3: Apply a negative tax on everyone using less > 1 standard deviation above the mean. Either preserve the excess revenue, or put it into infrastructure.

Step 4: recalculate every year and adjust rates accordingly.

... they named the software... "vim"

Really?! Come-on.

If it doesn’t answer a specific question you’re currently asking, cover philosophical knowledge, or entertain you, then don’t read it.

I think that's covered under "entertain you".

When might we see this in consumer VR? I'm surprised we don't already but I was suspecting it was a computation constraint.

Does this relieve the computation constraint enough to run on Quest 2/3?

Is there something else that would prevent binocular use?

It could be that the energy required to break the hydrogen bond from random collisions is higher than the theoretical minimum because the angle of a typical collision "wastes" energy in imparting vibration or rotation of the water molecule rather than just imparting "escape velocity".

Just a wild guess though. Haven't yet read the article.

Half of the side effects are also the side effects of abating depressions.

It's theorized that the suicide risk from most anti-depressants are from transitioning from so depressed that you have no motivation to do anything, to having enough motivation, but still feeling the related pain from depression.

Likewise with weight-gain. For many depressed people they have a suppression of appetite, and relieving the depression causes return of appetite.

AFAIK, neither the sexual side effects nor the withdraw symptoms are generally considered to be long term much less permanent.

where as in North American they are predominantly company specific...

Why do you think that? I'm fairly certain this is incorrect.

AFAIK, North American unions are not generally company specific. They are trade specific in most cases, and in the case of auto-workers it's mostly the UWA.

Heres a video on what they're talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L24GzTaOll0

The claim is because you can represent many more fractions without irrational numbers.
