Is the NYC Mayor General also ranked choice? Vote splitting is less impactful with ranked choice.

Still, it would be nice to see what a democratic socialist executive can do with NYC.

Nah, it's just new and improved: with Wings! (to stay in the right place all night long)

Clarke's Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

When the environment is energetic enough, the electromagnetic force and the weak force unify into the electroweak force. The weak interaction controls radioactive decay.

We can control electromagnetic force "at scale", IMO. It's not freely, but we have networks of electromagnetic systems that span continents.

If we could control the weak force at the same scale... I'm not sure what wonders we might unlock. At the very least, I imagine we could "clean" instead of just "contain" radioactive waste, at least low-level stuff.

When we figure out how to manipulate elctro-weak at scale, it will be magic.

Electro-mag is pretty crazy already, I agree. The ICP can't even figure out how they work.

Not every error bar represents a Gaussian, if for no other reason that most error bars aren't symmetric.

The error bars for small sample size relative to population size are Gaussian.

Error due to a non-representative sample can have a variety of shapes, but their distribution might also be unknown. We do frequently, almost implicitly, assume unknown distributions to be Gaussian, but we should recognize that's not necessarily a true fact about the universe.

It's a very non-representative, very small sample. The error bars in the statistical inference to the whole population includes both "very common" and "one-in-a-million".

Honestly, since I found Lemmy, I mostly ignore (or don't even see) Reddit news. Rarely it still shows up when I search things, but I just view those without logging in and don't vote / comment.

When I started it was more of a walk (2.0 mph; 30 minutes), but it still wore me out.

Now, I do a 7min mile on Wednesdays, try to get my 5k @ 2% incline down to 28 minutes on Satruday (did ~32 minutes yesterday), and try to get a 10k in under the "club limit" of 1hr on the treadmill on Sunday (did 6.15 mi. in 1:02:00 [2 minute cooldown] today).

It's the best way to get my recommended weekly cardio I've found.

Don't kill the part of you that's cringe, kill the part that cringes.

Same... and my back no longer hurts after I started running. The back pain actually went away before the weight did.

I think my Reddit account still exists, but I haven't logged in since 3rd party apps stopped working. It took me a bit to find Lemmy, and I'm still not on it was frequently as I was on Reddit.

I deleted my Twitter account when they announced they would be training grok on my tweets. I hadn't logged into it since Elmu mass-banned a bunch of journalists for retweeting the "Elon's Jet" account. I decided Mastodon was more likely to not get between me and the journalists I wanted to see microblogs from.

I'm not hardcore. I an still well-entrenched in the Google ecosystem (primarily YT). I still have a Facebook account, and occasionally login to un-tag myself. I use Amazon Pay / Paypal whenever I can, tho I at least stopped paying for Prime when they decided to start putting ads in Prime Video stuff.

He doesn't upload frequently, and it's usually nice info for an Arkansan. :)

 

The hosting provider I'm using makes ATM 9 much easier, but I'm still trying to decide what to install for my "holiday" Minecraft server. My friend group tends to play a lot between Halloween and New Years, but then we get busy with other things.

Which of these will have enough, but not too much, content. All of us have played modded before, though it's a mixed bag which mods we each know.

If there's a different pack that I should be looking at, I'm down. I think these were picked because they have the new EIO.
