  • Maybe subcultures?

    I’d say, e.g. Maggie Thatcher, plus many other women I’ve worked with in positions of power in govt or civil service seem to me to have (or fake?) similar behaviors to men in the same positions.

    Its very possible that the business leaders thing is just a selection effect. Those traits exist in some men and some women and those people are likely to select into those roles. But then I think these subcultures may reward and reinforce traits in the long run.

    It’d be interesting to hear the experience of say women in traditionally male dominated roles like the army. Or men who work in the traditionally female dominated roles roles like nursing or childcare.

    There must be some twin-studies on this type of thing.




  • I don’t think magic is objective; I think it is in the eye of the beholder.

    If the audience don’t understand it, or can be distracted from seeing the truth of it, it’s magic or a miracle or whatever to them. And the magician - if they know what they’re doing - can wield power over the rubes.

    So before you understand - say, magnetism - better, lodestones can be seen as magical or heaven-sent.

    There’ll be physical phenomena today like ‘spooky action at a distance’ or something where even quite learned observers might not 100% know the laws of physics. Some exploit of that can appear as magical until the laws are figured out and well communicated.

    If it turns out that the underlying laws are stochastic rather than deterministic, then there’s always going to be some grey areas i think.


  • I’ve experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.

    I’d suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.

    How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.

    Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.









  • We do that but also:

    • decide we cant afford 20k for a waterfall car
    • buy an off the shelf skateboard, that has a 10k per year oracle subscription
    • saw it in two
    • glue on a broom handle so it at least looks like the scooter in agile step 2.
    • mark the project as done.

    Then spend 15k fudging the ‘benefits realisation’ to make it look like a the users were really happy with car that only had two wheels and no engine.
