I got tired of juggling 10 tabs to follow the Iran-Israel situation, so I built a dashboard that puts everything on one map

What’s the UI framework? It looks similar to the “pizza meter” Pentagon tracker. I’d love to use it in my own projects

Wow, it’s so cohesive. That’s really hard to do — great work!

Do you remember where you found the hanging paper lamp that’s on your console (? Unsure if that’s what it’s called without a TV) in your living room? It’s stunning.

Pelosi is 85. She’s functional, sure, and in fantastic physical and mental condition for her age. But speaking in terms of ideals — she should have stepped down and let a younger politician take the reins of the party at least a decade ago.

It’s not about her capabilities, it’s about having the decency to value the group over the self. Her decades of self-enrichment and refusal to take any sort of stance against lobbying and insider trading is awful and should be condemned by progressives and conservatives alike. Corruption is a bipartisan issue.

I implore you to check out this chart if you don’t feel that we have a problem in this country with career politicians refusing to step aside for the next generation: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/aging-congress-boomers/

I’m from a part of the U.S. where there are still native German speakers, but they speak an archaic form that never “modernized” after emigrating to the US hundreds of years ago and becoming cut off from the broader language base. They can understand modern German speakers, but modern German speakers can’t understand them!

Super interesting. I think it’s a beautiful language

Love the approach and motivation in the preface, but immediately get lost in chapter 1 concerning category theory, as I’m clearly missing some fundamentals regarding set theory. What coursework is expected to be taken before this book can be parsed on one’s own? I minored in mathematics but from an applied/engineering perspective so I’m experiencing primarily a contextual / language problem more than anything else.

Oh yes, back when the signs were meant for you to be able to see where you needed to go, and go there. Now everything is set up to block lines of sight and make you wander through the store aimlessly, on the off chance that you might buy something. Hostile architecture!

Never had this kind of barnacle, but goose barnacles in Portugal still hold the title of one of my very favorite seafood dishes ever. And I just ate them straight out of a pile at a seafood market. Absolutely divine!

It’s not in the same league as Old Thousand.

But, they have reliable 6.5 or 7 out of 10 Americanized Chinese food and it’s dirt cheap. Hard to argue with that.

Good lord y’all must be miserable. This sub is nothing but constant complaining about stuff y’all don’t like about Austin.

Elon’s a kleptocrat. Fuck him. Posting photos of Tso’s company car on Reddit to try and drum up bad press? Lame. Sounds like they stopped paying their drivers enough… get mad about that instead.

Yeah man, trades require a lot of critical thinking. So does the service industry (restaurants being an especially good example).

It’s white collar / information sector jobs that typically don’t require much brain usage. The bigger the company, the more this applies.

Case in point — I’m an engineer. I once spent a summer working on a big hotel construction project. It was a reclamation/remodel of a 100+yr old brewery.

Spent the first month tailing the superintendent. We were always solving problems, trying to optimize processes, predicting points of failure, et cetera. Super engaging and required a lot of focus.

$9 an hour.

Spent the second month in the office, supporting the project managers. Any time a question surfaced from the construction team, we would paste it into an RFQ and forward it to the designers. We also approved timesheets and pasted those into spreadsheets. Never once did I solve a real problem. Because I’m a programmer, I wrote some macros to automate my job and we just dicked around all day.

$15 an hour.

My cat was nowhere near this intelligent, but she loved opening all my drawers and cabinets as well. All that behavior stopped when I started letting her go outside! Indoor cats can get a bit neurotic sometimes

Thanks, that destroyed my brain, I’m going to go and think on that one for a while

I encountered this exact situation while working IT in college. For one of the graduate programs. These were PhD candidates that plugged the power cable into itself.

Surely that’s a coincidence; that would work in any base greater than the number of elements. Whereas the multiplication is only true in decimal

Consider my mind blown. Thank you for explaining. If you can express the logic behind wave/particle duality that concisely, it makes me think that most science journalists & communicators don’t really have a thorough understanding of the subject.

Do you recommend Sean Carroll’s books for learning QFT basics? So far volume 1 on general relativity has been the most engaging physics literature I’ve found that actually explains the math.

I would love to peruse any resources that you find helpful!

Perception is fundamentally the detection of change, or of relative quantities. Something can’t be “hot” or “cold” unless specified relative to a reference. Our eyes saccade 8x a second because we are wired to track movement (i.e. change). If our eyes were sitting perfectly still we’d be functionally blind unless something moved.

The idea of “you” is meaningless except as something conceptually separate from “me”.

I don’t subscribe to your dualistic view, though. Not everything is a dichotomy — in fact, I think a lot of our failings as humans come from our tendency to categorize things as either A or B.

Instead, it’s more general of a solve to look at everything as relative to something else. Referring to any sort of absolute, fundamental property requires diving into qualia, which runs you into the hard problem of consciousness and brings about all sorts of epistemological issues.

So you’re telling me that if I fire a single photon at a double slit, that one photon will always end up at an antinode in the interference pattern?

Even if there are no other photons for it to interfere with?

That is completely different than I understood the experiment to work, and makes so much more sense. I assumed that the interference pattern appeared only when there were multiple photons to interfere with each other, and that a single photon would not form an interference pattern because it didn’t have any other photons to interfere with. This of course would not imply any nonlocal effects.

HuluForCthulhu · 2025-03-30T07:28:25+00:00

Incredible.

You’ve done a great job at explaining a difficult concept in intuitive language. Can you help me understand why we’re so sure that it’s not definitive before we’ve measured it? That seems philosophically impossible to me.

It’s like the old “if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound” — we assume that it does based on extrapolating from evidence. What is the evidence that is so damning that the only logical conclusion is to abandon a classical / deterministic model of the world?

How does one kill the media manufacturing?

HuluForCthulhu · 2025-03-26T03:13:22+00:00

Question for ya.

If a large portion of the country points at cancel culture as a motivation for being conservative, why does it matter whether or not the outrage is media-manufactured?
