have you tried midnightcommand?
I also think that there are specific exercises that can make you a lot more creative. I wrote about this once from the perspective of songwriting. Instead of trying to write a good song, why not try to write the worst song ever? The silliest song ever? The stupidest song ever? Doing these things challenges you to change your frame, change your perspective. That's what inspires creativity.

Chris Rock had a great quote in an interview:

"You keep notes. You look for the recurring. What’s not going away? Boy, this police-brutality thing — it seems to be lingering. What’s going to happen here? You don’t even have the joke, you just say, “Okay, what’s the new angle that makes me not sound like a preacher?” Forget being a comedian, just act like a reporter. What’s the question that hasn’t been asked? How come white kids don’t get shot? Have you ever watched television and seen some white kid get shot by accident?

> And out of that comes comedy.

Comes humor. You laughed right away. I just asked a question that no one had ever asked."

Steve Jobs:

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.

Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."

No it's exactly like complaining that there is no good music being made today because the average new song isn't as good as the best song from the 80s.

My complaint is that in most cases people are comparing average Science Fiction to the best of Classical Literature, but this tells you nothing about the best of Science Fiction.

Sure the average Science Fiction novel isn't as good as the best classical literature. But that's not the implication of the original comment. The implication is that Science Fiction is inferior--it's meant for entertainment, not capable of holding up to serious literature. Science Fiction is merely enjoyable, not sublime.
The brain is a tricky thing. Even seeing this video I'm sure that the "left moving ripple" progress bar still seems faster to us.

MIT and IBM are names they already had. But nobody owned edu. or com. – so why does somebody own space.? Why were we in a position where a private equity firm tried to buy org. for over a billion dollars, and nearly succeeded‽

As an aside, I learned something recently. The US actually has the most progressive income tax system for a developed nation. Shockingly so, compared with the flat and regressive tax systems in countries like Sweden. There they basically have two income tax brackets -- everything over the basic deduction gets a flat ~35% tax up to about $60,000 equivalent. There's also an additional bracket for incomes above that point. Plus a flat VAT charged on most purchases. I suppose whether spending is progressive or regressive to economic equality is far more important than whether the tax system is.
In general this is a an argument that users shouldn't be given a choice because "you" know better than some/many users. So "who" knows enough to force an option on everyone because some users might not understand this choice between having Facebook track information about them or not?

Would you argue that increasingly targeted advertisement is enough of a net good that the choice to avoid it should be gone?
Kurt Vonnegut, it seems, saw this coming 60 years ago.
Pets.com is a bad example because nobody would name a traditional store "Pets". But a TLD like "Google.com" is clearly representing a brand and not just a particular set of servers.

As a parent of white and asian children, this type of thing does cause visceral concern for me. Are public programs that benefit my children going to be cancelled because they tend to include disproportionately more children from our group than other groups? Will I be forced to go private to get the teaching I need for my children?

At the same time, I also recognize that there is scant evidence that gifted and advanced learning programs are beneficial. Selection bias is extremely hard to control and is the driving factor behind most deltas in education statistics. Are the kids coming out of the program better equipped because of the program? Or were the better equipped kids selected into the program? I'm inclined to guess that typically it's more of the former than the latter.

So for now I'm delaying judgment on these moves. We will be watching carefully to see whether the quality of the teaching slips when our gifted programs are cancelled. If that happens, and if I believe we can get better teaching elsewhere, we will go private and it will be fine. But my guess is that the gifted program is really not that important and we will be fine continuing without it.
Note that "sexual abuse" does not equal "rape". It would certainly be an insult if one were to compare it to rape, but that's no the case.
I agree. I couldn't work out how to add people - no import from Google or Facebook or whatever. While I do believe in release early, these guys may have blown it only because of how much attention they have (or had).

Really? I would argue that switching to what amounts to commodity hardware with custom bios in a custom case is a move away from vertical integration.

Now, you could say that Apple didn't fab it's own PPC chips, but the x86 mac hardware is sure a lot more similar to everyone else's hardware than mac hardware has ever been before, and it's probably saving Apple rather a lot of money.

Of course, you could also argue that this trend is reversing, with the Apple platform now being driven by ARM devices that are far more, uh, custom. but you kind of have to do that right now, because the market for cellphone chipsets/motherboard layouts isn't as mature as the market for desktop/laptop chipsets and motherboard layouts.

I'm just pointing out, Apple is perfectly happy to use commodity stuff, when they think that commodity stuff is better/cheaper.

What good is chatting to the media if they will go, edit the interview and show whatever they want that fits their own agenda? I don't know if this is a problem in Canada but it certainly is in my country and I know that it is an issue in the US.

Personally, I can understand why the public figures would not want to talk to the media. However, I don't understand why they aren't finding new ways to communicate more directly with the public.
Brilliant, thanks. Jing Tea looks like a winner, I'll give them a try and let you know. :)
Perhaps this is a case where the phrase "Tis easier to ask forgiveness than permission" applies?
It's interesting that Wolfram makes a quick foray into computer science to bash type systems. (I think he couldn't be more wrong)

"To resolve this, Russell introduced what is often viewed as his most original contribution to mathematical logic: his theory of types—which in essence tries to distinguish between sets, sets of sets, etc. by considering them to be of different “types”, and then restricts how they can be combined. I must say that I consider types to be something of a hack. And indeed I have always felt that the related idea of “data types” has very much served to hold up the long-term development of programming languages. (Mathematica, for example, gets great flexibility precisely from avoiding the use of types.)"
I believe the .com domain was originally for the US, so the US government has jurisdiction regardless of where the owner of the domain lives.

.ly domains were being seized by their government even though the domains were being operated by American companies.
Are you from a maths background? I'm not and having played with Haskell a little the syntax is a real turn-off for me. For me Lisp is a lot more readable.

Paradigm shift? I don't know, I've been writing desktop software in JavaScript for years now, it has its place but it also has big disadvantages yet, especially with accesibility stuff, which comes free if you use the stuff your OS offers for free.
I think the logic is, if you want $1M and you've only been able to raise $500k, it's better to say your 66% committed vs. 50% committed. You can always over subscribe, which is what you would want to do. Oversubscribing is also a positive signal.

We used this strategy and it seemed to work fine.
> Author doesn't seem to know what a wire frame is. And doesn't seem to have any concept of how UI/UX should be done.

Don't be harsh. We all have different ideas of what wireframes are.

> Wireframes are typically used for determining how much of each screen something will take up. After that you move to a Mock up.

I guess web design is a bit different from the more app design field I'm used to, where wireframe is more of an interaction tool used to describe non-visual user experience and flow while the visual toolkit/guide does what the web wireframe would otherwise (not just layout, but everything else visual also). Mockup is mostly used in the early concept and planning stages before design begins in earnest. You move up from wireframe and visual guides to...prototypes.

Lots of things. Namely, they can't prove that you are even able to.
> Which is my whole damn point: naturalness is irrelevant.

I disagree. Man-made phenomena can all be fought and reversed (so it's worth trying), but not all natural ones can (so it can be worth trying to fight them, but one must also know when to give up).

This started with the statement "Social inequality without serving a conscious purpose", which implies (or at least that's how I interpreted it) that social inequality is some man-made phenomenon, and we'd all be equal if not for some evil overlords "keeping us down". I disagree with this theory.
It is truly not fun being that guy: http://randsinrepose.com/archives/a-toxic-paradox/

This is especially true if you're in an organization as large and bureaucratic as IBM and not in a senior position. I think you overestimate how much influence you can really have on upper management. True story when I worked there as a GDF lead, talking to a senior manager.

Me: "Hey, I think I found an error in the formula we use to calculate one of the GDF metrics. This is creating garbage data."
SM: "Oh wow, you're right."

Later.

SM: "Actually, we made the formula that way on purpose. It's OK."
Me: "What? How? Why?"
SM: "It's OK, don't worry about it."

What am I supposed to do then? Escalate to a VP? On a regular basis? I did. A senior manager got in touch with my manager and delivered the message that I need to get in line. I quote: "No more complaining." Depending on the environment where you're working, it's not easy to be the devil's advocate. It's usually not easy in the first place. In certain environments, it's almost impossible, you might as well have not even joined.

edit clarification: GDF was IBM's attempt to create its own version of the Six Sigma program.

Science is a human process. Trusting the science means trusting humans. Research performed by humans has many opportunities for biases to slip in. There's no one monitoring or auditing raw data collection for example - whether that is measured observations in scientific research or survey data in social research. Most students also have poor statistical knowledge and make numerous mistakes in drawing their conclusion, and some even misstate their findings in more deliberate ways (like p hacking). Then there's the ecosystem around the people performing the science. Journals with poor review processes, magazines that publish headlines that lack the intended nuance/context, and so forth.

The calls to "trust the science" also often extend beyond what the scientific material states. For instance, the science might tell us that the coronavirus poses a particular level of risk in terms of mortality. But deciding whether or not to react to that risk with heavy measures is still a human decision that crosses value systems, economic considerations, moral considerations, etc. Still, somehow you see people in social media or news media attaching the "science" label to their opinion on what must be done, even though that final consideration is an opinion or judgment call.
What does it add on top of youtube-dl then? Different naming?
FairEmail is also quite nice.
Idk if this is true. Ok what if you don’t. Also things like medical bankruptcy are way too common.
Of course not.

But you mention causation. You have to treat your employees well if you want to be successful. It is necessary, but not sufficient.
Right—that's, effectively, the difference between "cultural meta-ethics" and "moral relativism." What I'm saying is that, on an individual level, ethics is a problem that will be completely solved by neuropsychology: once we find out our particular utility function, we just have obey it optimally. Thus, Ethics as a field of endeavor should drop that kind of individual-level moral quandary, and focus on inter-societal quandaries, since that's what we'll really need to figure out—how to handle, and interact with, societies that have different utility functions than our own (including the ones we end up creating ourselves using genetic engineering, AI, and so forth.)
I would say US are far more authoritarian state with over 1% of male population in prisons.
Authoritarianism is okay as long as its in the guise of an MBA.
Maybe we need a special place where we can discuss highly unpopular and 'heretical' ideas that strongly contradict perceived wisdom or popular opinion. Any ideas?

I doubt it. This is new AMD with ridiculous prices when they face no competition. I'd say it's more likely to expect $6k than $2.5k.
I'm sorry but as an engineer there is no way aqeduct is from 1670, it looks mid 1800s (and definitely no earlier than 1800).

Edit: Google shows canal du midi is indeed from 1670 but this aqeduct section is later, completed in 1858 (the order was decreed by Napoleon himself according to wiki)
I maintain that an overly progressive tax merely protects the rich because their wealth is largely in assets. Increase the income tax to 80% on Zuckerberg and he is just as wealthy tomorrow as he is today (well the general stock market might dip and that would hit him, but not benefit the government). He can liquidate his assets as needed in friendlier tax haven countries.

I guess I am a polar radical, because I tend to favor more aggressive marxism (seize assets/property) OR the opposite - a low income tax so that it is easier for new entrants to join the wealthy and it isn't just the same rich elite protected by income taxes forever.

I agree with your stance on Messenger, yet I have found Cyanogen's Privacy Guard more than satisfying to limit Messenger's "spying" powers.

Outside of the US(?) I don't think that this has got much chance of taking off. The legal / data privacy ramifications of support knowing a customer's fb profile and all the information contained therein are something I find quite difficult to quantify.
Yeah, but I was thinking at people with non standard accents, there a large number of people outside US that make Youtube videos and their accent is tricking the AI and the automatic subs will contain random words. The AI will have a big bias against non US creators or even US people with an accent that is not popular in the Google training data.
There are plenty of things I'd go to a doctor for even if they had 90% less medical training.

Get prescriptions to variously mostly safe drugs anti depressants/weight loss drugs/blood pressure medicine, dandruff shampoo.

Refill any prescription.

Those two items are probably 80% of the reason anyone I know goes to a doctor.

Now for surgeons.

It's true that you want someone with a lot of experience for surgery but there are still ways to get more highly trained surgeons. Throw out undergrad requirements for med school, if the average career for a fully trained surgeon in 16 years we've just increased the supply by ~25%.

Allow surgeons from other countries to come practice in the U.S. without completing a full residency. We could easily suck up the worlds surgeons because we pay so much more.

Open up/pay for more residency spots.

Salaries in law are famously bimodal: https://www.biglawinvestor.com/bimodal-salary-distribution-c...

Law is a very status-conscious industry (even more than software) and so most of that oversupply of law graduates are not "in the club". They get paid relatively low wages and have to fight with each other for peanuts.

Some much smaller fraction of law graduates from top schools or who otherwise have the right connections get paid extremely high salaries because they are only competing with each other.
Would be nice to have more details on how they constructed their models, and how they captured variance between each model seed. Otherwise this is just fluff, like "cool story bro".
You mean, using server-sent events for things that are not events but data, one row at a time?

Of course that'd be slow, but that's equivalent to sending one websocket frame for each row, or one file per row over HTTP multipart. Hardly talks to the speed of either protocol.
Touché. That's the best argument I've heard yet. Tsunamis too I guess. Everything that killed the Dinos we humans can protect against easier than living on mars?

You don't need to know anything about how the web works. The second set of cards they show you doesn't have ANY of the original cards, so there's a 100% chance that the card you chose will have been "removed".

For the user it does not matter how many cores are on a die.

For the user it matters what is included in a package.
The new Ice Lake Server package (77.5 mm x 56.5 mm) has finally reached about the same size as the Epyc package (75.4 mm x 58.5 mm), because now Intel offers for the first time 8 memory channels, like its competitors have offered for many years.

So in packages of the same size, Intel has 40 cores, while AMD offers 64 cores. Moreover Intel requires an extra package for the I/O controller, while AMD includes it in the CPU package.

So for general-purpose users, AMD offers much more in the same space.

On the other hand, Ice Lake Server has twice the number of FMA units, so it has as many floating-point multipliers as 80 AMD cores. This advantage is diminished by the fact that the clock frequency for heavy AVX-512 instructions is only 80% of the nominal frequency, but it can still give an advantage to Ice Lake Server for the programs that can use AVX-512.
