41,812,300 | comment | steveBK123 | 2024-10-11T18:54:25 | null | I think the EU project is partially trying to thread the needle of maintaining ethnostates without the nationalism. That is, maintain the culture/language/food without the periodic bouts of war/etc.<p>Neat idea, but is quite a challenge.<p>The US in general is different from even an imaginary future federal EU in that, as some say, "America is an idea". I know people who can trace their "American Heritage" back to pilgrims/boats, and others who naturalized in the last decade. No one aside from true nutcases really gives much thought to the difference. There is no legal distinction aside from naturalized citizens being unable to be President, is about it.<p>Most people I know have lived in multiple states, sometimes across completely different regions. People don't derive any strong identity to the state they were born or spent the most time in. Most people I know would just identify by the current state they live in.<p>There are of course regional differences, but you can move from one region to another and mostly drive the same car, eat the same food, wear the same clothes, buy the same products, shop the same stores, etc. This is a feature or bug depending on your perspective. I think we are sort of like a cultural Borg.<p>The plus side is the US quickly adapts and/or adopts aspects of the culture & cuisine of each wave of immigrants over time. You can get pho in random strip malls nowhere near a big city, and we'll adopt any holiday if it means more drinking, like say Cinco de Mayo. | null | null | 41,811,003 | 41,799,016 | null | null | null | null |

The paper the video is based on is highly flawed.<p>That paper has a few major problems but these are the biggest:<p>1) The authors didn't control for body mass. The Hadza and Bolivians burned 52kcal per kg of body weight. Americans burned only 38kcal per kg of body weight. That is: the active groups burned significantly more calories than the inactive groups, on a pound-for-pound basis.<p>2) The active groups were defined as such because they walked ~12km per day. This is significant because the human body is exceptionally efficient at walking. It is certainly true that over a comparable span of time, you will burn less calories walking than you would running, or lifting weights.<p>GLP-1's are miracle drugs and people should take them if they at are high risk for obesity-related diseases.<p>But diet and exercise certainly do aid weight loss, and will have fewer negative side effects than a GLP-1 drug.<p><a href="https://www.germanjournalsportsmedicine.com/archive/archive-2018/heft-1/editorial-fat-in-spite-of-exercise-an-alleged-paradigm-change-results-from-calculation-mistakes/" rel="nofollow">https://www.germanjournalsportsmedicine.com/archive/archive-...</a> | null | null | 41,811,926 | 41,811,263 | null | null | null | null |

41,812,315 | comment | i2infinity | 2024-10-11T18:55:39 | null | Just ranting here - The psychological disconnect between a remote operator and passengers in a robotaxi needs more research though. Remote operator might have less empathy and responsibility towards passengers possibly causing moral disengagement. The remote driver might never face the real-world aftermath of their actions, which can reduce their sense of remorse or responsibility. There could be complex legal dilemmas too (especially if operator is from a different country)<p>But this has definitely been researched a lot in the field of military drone operators who can make life altering decisions from thousands of miles away. | null | null | 41,807,195 | 41,805,706 | null | null | null | null |

41,812,321 | comment | austin-cheney | 2024-10-11T18:56:00 | null | If you want to implement this yourself just realize that email is a text format. HTTP (2616) is actually based on RFC822 for format. That is important because receiving email requires a full understanding of the routing mechanisms defined in 821 and successive documents. Sending, though, just requires that you get 822 right because sending an email message only requires writing the contents correctly over a socket and DNS. Knowing that is how spammers can blast out millions of emails at almost no cost, because you don’t have to be an email server or client to send emails. | null | null | 41,809,181 | 41,809,181 | null | null | null | null |

It's a sort of cognitive opportunity cost. You have to consciously think about food (instead of something useful) forever, because your body's instincts are telling you to do the wrong thing and you need your rational mind to overrule it.<p>So for the rest of your life, every day, until you die you must decide to stop and expend effort making that decision instead of thinking about work, family, politics, or writing a new bit of code that will change the world. Most human beings can do it for a while, but not forever. The only way to do it forever is to get your body chemistry on your side and reduce that cognitive load. | null | null | 41,812,170 | 41,811,263 | null | [

Certainly there could be some long term issues that we're not aware of yet, but it's not likely that there are significant issues that affect a large percentage of users after 30 years that didn't affect the small sample of users that have been using it for 20 years or the massive number of users that have been using it for 10. | null | null | 41,811,539 | 41,811,263 | null | [

41,812,356 | comment | btilly | 2024-10-11T18:59:21 | null | This strongly depends on what you mean by "theory of knowledge".<p>If you mean the practical importance of self-honesty, and a historical awareness of how easily we slip into self-delusion, then I agree. See, for instance, <a href="https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm" rel="nofollow">https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm</a> for a very famous speech on exactly this topic. A lot of Feynman's writing touches on the same issue.<p>If you mean the musings of philosophers on epistemology, then I emphatically disagree. The philosophers in question generally have failed to demonstrate that they understand science. And when they venture into science, they generally fail to live up to the ideals that they proclaim that scientists should follow. As an example I direct you to the sight of Karl Popper arguing to the end of his days that quantum mechanics cannot be a correct scientific theory. An opinion that began because a probabilistic theory cannot in principle be falsified.<p>In fact QM is a scientific theory, and it stands as an example falsifying Popper's criterion for science!<p>I find it very ironic that Feynman is so disliked by philosophers for having been honest about how irrelevant they are to science. And philosophers in turn have failed to recognize Feynman's explanations of how to do science as a key topic that should be included in any proper philosophy of science. | null | null | 41,811,555 | 41,808,127 | null | null | null | null |

The utility behind our conversation [generally] rests on those rules!<p>An LLM is very good at <i>recovering</i> rules, but being good at pattern recognition is not the same thing as being good at <i>unambiguously following</i> rules in the appropriate context.<p>edit: Natural language is far from an efficient/sufficient/necessary intermediate representation for doing math, just ask any general-purpose computer. Sometimes, it's worth "putting rules in stone," and it seems unreasonable to believe that there is always an unambiguous rule for this that you can mechanically recover from a corpus of language use. | null | null | 41,808,683 | 41,808,683 | null | null | null | null |
