This is a good point. Thanks for that. :)
The article shows that the qualitative claim, that low scoring people tend to overestimate, and high scoring people tend to underestimate their ability, is nothing but a statistical obviety.

For the Dunning-Kruger effect to have psychological significance, you must quantify this, and show that they overestimate their abilities more resp. less than expected.

Regardless of how you set your expectation/null hypothesis, the absence of the effect would mean that the lowest scoring quartile would on average estimate their abilities to lie at 50% or below. It is found however that people in the lowest scoring quartile position themselves in the third or fourth quartile.

I'm not saying that this is necessarily deep or unexpected, just that the article only shows that the qualitative statement is true regardless of any psychological factors, and not that the Dunning-Kruger effect doesn't exist
Which is why he is so needed.

Pragmatism will always gravitate towards the “middle”. But the middle can never be truly found by pragmatism unless it can see either extreme.

Without Stallman, the closed software extreme has a ton of supporters (Microsoft, Apple, etc) but the free software extreme has almost none.

What Stallman does is define the free software extreme which allows the pragmatists to find a much better middle than if he wasn’t pushing that boundary.
>worker mistreatment

I haven’t worked for Musk, but I’ve heard he only hires fanatics who want to save the world. I expect that he expects things different from most employers.

>wealth hoarding

Most of his wealth isn’t in money or stocks, it’s in his companies. The money that is in stocks, well most of that’s in stock for companies that have actual assets and do actual things in the real world.

People always have power motives for doing things. But that doesn’t make them bad people. It makes them people who have objectives that require power, or perhaps power seekers who need to meet objectives (or claim they do). I trust the former far more than the latter.
This is one of those topics that practically defines "moot".

But anyway, as a non-atheist, you don't get to say what atheists think. (Also, not capitalized.)
But in some degree you can't hack the heart of Emacs and Vim as well: its too complicated.

Oh, Pacific Standard... good job, you actually managed to get me to read more than half of it before getting to "white privilege".
Meanwhile China's new upgraded Great Firewall is DDoSing many websites in the west because of the randomness of their DNS Cache Poisoning.

.... and the Amiga did all of that, and more, in 1985. The basic Amiga cost almost twice as much as a basic PC where I lived, which was why it wasn’t as popular.

But in 1985, a PC that had capabilities comparable to the Amiga cost over 10 times as much as the Amiga: you’d need specialized graphics card to get 4096 colors at once, specialized sound cards to get 4 channel 8-bit stereo sound (or 2 channel 13-bit) - hardly any were available, and even if you got them, you didn’t ha e use for them because almost no software supported them.

The o/S did good cooperative multitasking with just 512K ram. Oh, and it ran faster than a real Mac while emulating a Mac (used the same CPU, but also had a graphics accelerator that the Mac didn’t).

In 1985.

Sound blaster (8 bit sound card) and VGA (only 256 colors at once at low resolution, and no sprites) became common around 1991-1992. It took a few more years for it until hardware better than Amiga’s 1985 debut - 16 bit Soundblasters or Gravis Ultrasound; and Extended SuperVGA cards. Still no sprite or genlock features. Win 95 was finally comparable to AmigaOS, if somewhat more buggy.

Alas, commodore was horribly mismanaged - and we are left with the PC legacy.
The middle class who still have jobs currently have more money than they know what to do with! Markets are soaring and personal current accounts are full to bursting, according to central banks, as nobody has anything to spend money on. This gives me hope for a quick economic bounce-back. It's the working class and people who have lost their jobs who are seriously struggling. The middle class are fine.
Hmm. My first thought is that this is not China. We have different expectations here and ones that sometimes run counter to the conveniences US law enforcement would like to have. Whatever happens in China, my expectations are that our goverment should work differently here and Apple should as well.
Well, those are my costs, as paid by me.

I suppose my employer could have given me a raise instead of deciding to fully pay for the health insurance. The line item on my paycheck is gone now, and I didn't take a pay cut to make that happen. Actually I got a big raise at the time. 20 years ago, and even 10 years ago, getting health insurance required that I grant permission to deduct part of it from my paycheck. That's gone. Although in theory I have a high deductible now, my employer effectively cancels that by putting an equal amount into a health savings account.

My rent went to zero because I bought a house and fully paid for it. It is 3109 square feet on 0.39 acres. In other words, there is no mortgage anymore. I suppose repairs might be needed at some point.

The education is really what I paid. I attended Northeastern University and UMass Lowell long ago, which was about $17,000 per year. I have a kid in University of Central Florida now, paying $16,000 per year. I have multiple kids at Eastern Florida State College now, attending for almost nothing because tuition is paid under a dual-enrollment agreement by the local school district. Even books are covered. We just pay for a $40 parking permit and $10 per semester for wireless network access.

I spend $4k a month on groceries because I have a family of 14, I shop at Publix (a normal nice-quality supermarket), and I have a fondness for things like fish and less-typical fruit. That estimate is a couple years old, so it might be higher now.

So really I'm not feeling any inflation. Power is cheap (thanks FPL), water is cheap, I no longer have to pay a long-distance provider per-minute phone charges, and fuel is still cheap. I went from having a car loan at 7% to just buying my cars in cash. For less money, I get a car with more seats and more power. Capitalism does a really nice job of making life affordable.

Maybe I'm the inflation. I cost more, but you won't find me in the consumer price index.
The board can't be expected to know as much as the CEO, the shareholders can't be expected to know as much as the board, and so on.

As far as I'm concerned, the #1 responsibility of the CEO is to take blame for fuckups.

Yes, I consider that a higher priority than making profits. Because if the CEO is unable to make profits, then the CEO has to own the fuckup of not making profits.
Also curious about the platform you're using, because I was kind of dissuaded from using Alpaca when I learned about the good old pattern day trading rule. Are you trading with > 25k in whatever platform you use, or do you have a limited number of trades you execute to stay away from PDT?
The extra grunt is impressive. On my old 2018 MBA playing Zwift on medium quality graphics would cause the fans to howl. My new M1 MBA will run Zwift on high quality graphics, at 2-3x the frame rate, and be 70% idle. Of course, the fans are quiet because there aren’t any.

I think the OP, when saying "Preferrably on an emulator or FPGA already. Oberon did this.” meant that Oberon (second edition; the first one ran on a NS32032) ran on a FPGA (https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/pipermail/oberon/2013/006922.html, https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/ProjectOberon/PO.Comp...)
The theory is just that - a theory and a convenient one at that since it exonerates Boeing engineers.

The is no evidence supporting the theory (verification) and more interesting it is not falsifiable. It is just a narrative.

Tried sqlx a few weeks ago. I personally didn't like it. I come from a Hibernate/JVM background. Writing a data access layer with that much boilerplate isn't something I consider to be practical in today's fast paced environments.

After sqlx, I gave sqlc (https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc) a try and I found it to be much more painless than any other database solution (for PostgreSQL) for Golang.

Edit: sqlc is an inversed solution. Instead of generating SQL queries using Golang, you write annotated SQL queries and sqlc generates Golang source from them.
Source tell me that the weather in Nigeria is not completely unsuitable for solar energy, either.
I'd always figured that Settlers of Catan would be the most likely game to lead to that.
> No, capitalism is the problem.

Blanket statements like this almost never help. They readily fall in danger of presenting a moralistic or normalizing argument in debate, which require zero baseline. If you're going to debate people you need to provide an actual solution that doesn't just say, "stop what you're doing", "you're the problem", etc...

Conservation may have worked sometime in the 60's or earlier, however, economies would've stalled and our present would likely be quite different. It is possible to engineer our way out of climate change, but it will take the best minds being 100% committed to it and incentives that align to it.
They were active. Some probably didn’t care to install something else and some probably never seen the status (including close friends) because it either never showed up in their feed or because i deleted my account the next day (which was probably a bad idea)
On his right hip, it’s incredibly clear.
I was going to say something similar except for me it's a function of size and multidimensionality.

We're sitting on several PB but it's generally in two dimensions - standard analysis techniques work, we just have problem moving the data around efficiently and processing it.

I like your inclusion of velocity, I'm including that in my definition.
So, sadly, I don't contribute to really any github projects. This is a new feature to me and does go a long way to addressing my concern. Honestly, it may completely address it. Certainly sounds like it does.
Yeah, the Clintons are really more of a (dysfunctional) power couple than a dynasty.
> leveraging some of these EU protections in addition to all the copyright/DMCA stuff in the US.

I spent quite a bunch of time in Europe last year and would see quite a few search results noting something being removed under EU right to be forgotten legislation. Often I wondered wtf could have been removed. The law is probably abused for PR reasons, but like dmca, would cost a lot to fight and better to hope it stays under the radar and unpopular.

Also saw lots of blurred out stuff on google maps, but yandex is rather willing to share the sat views of prisons and other facilities ;)
> Under pressure to hit fourth-quarter sales goals while coping with widespread semiconductor shortages, Tesla decided to remove one of the two electronic control units that are normally included in the steering racks of some made-in-China Model 3 and Model Y cars, according to two employees and internal correspondence seen by CNBC.

A complete non-story, as long as it still passes safety checks. The automotive industry is always looking to save a few cents here and there - the only requirement is that it does not compromise safety.

> "So the cars in the fleet essentially becoming self-driving via software update, I think, might end up being the biggest increase in asset value of any asset class in history. We shall see."

Elon Musk, the billion dollar man with a billion promises. I'll make a few bets on this:

1. It won't happen this year. He has been incorrectly guessing it at when it will be ready for many years now.

2. If it does happen this year, it will be blocked legally until proper regulation is ready. If a self-driving car crashes, who is responsible? This needs to be answered, because if it turns out to be Tesla, things will get expensive real quick.

3. If it's not blocked legally, it will be disabled for everybody except those on a subscription service:

> Drivers can also buy a more advanced version, called Full Self-Driving, or FSD, for $12,000 or $199 a month (in the U.S.).

It won't end up being quite the value-add it's claimed to be. Whatever happened to the Tesla car that would pay for itself? So far it seems to just require even more money, for features already suggested to be free when the idea of the car was first sold.

> "If something like a chip or an ECU is not providing additional functionality, if it is truly redundant, you may be able to turn it off or leave it out. With chips and software, there's a little bit of wiggle room. I can reassign stuff here and there," he said.

Not entirely true. Whilst the infotainment system may have enough processing power to run all the safety critical tasks, you don't want it to. Crashing your infotainment is inconvenient, but a 5 second reboot is not the end of the world. Crashing your ABS, throttle control, steering control, etc, is not an option.

A lot of safety critical stuff is usually also proven with tonnes of testing (rather than formal validation) - but that testing is highly coupled to the hardware its running on. You know for example that system X will reliably poll some pin at 1k times a second, because it is the only thing running on the chip. It cannot be interrupted or delayed. The more tasks you add, the great the risk of not hitting timing targets, the larger the testing surface, the greater number of possible states it can be in, etc.
That's easy - you just have a quiet word with the owners of the company. Just like the US did with the cell phone companies to get warrantless wiretaps on 1000s of phones.

Then of course since the system is private there is no question of any political motivation and the list of banned sites is also secret as it's "commercially sensitive"
He mentioned billable rate, which might be the reason this isn't going to get fixed. If you're billing a client $250/hr for your employees' time, your incentive as a company is to maximize the time it takes to do things. Adding random 3 minute pauses to the workflow of your most expensive people would be an example of a "good thing" from a strictly financial perspective.

But then companies are seldom that aware of what's going on. Back in my Consulting Engineer days, I spent plenty of time trying to explain the simple math: "since you're billing me out at a 3.5 multiplier, it actually makes you more money to give me a raise". It never flew. So eventually I did.

Personally, I'm all in favor of big companies behaving this way. Less efficiency in other shops is a competitive advantage for mine.
And can verified.
I always assumed it was a concession to AT&T when the data plans were unlimited.

The NYT just published a hit piece on him, exactly as he predicted. Whatever faith you might still have on the NYT is misplaced. They have become nothing but a band of vengeful, dishonest crooks, bent on secreting poison and fomenting hate.

Because if I run it from the command-line, it takes 40 seconds before it has precompiled and prepared my project for use. The only way to avoid that wait on every change is to use the REPL, where I only need to wait on the first run.

Outside the REPL, every run is the first run.
> They increased collateral because if a bunch of people buy and go bust by the time settlement time hits

No that is not true, there are many people who have the money in the account to buy, the broker can lock that money so the question of buyer not paying does not arise.

So the hedge funds are free to do anything yet the little guy who has the money cannot even participate. Do you understand why people think its a rigged system?
She's drawing a distinction between an editor telling a journalist to write a negative piece, and the journalist freely writing one anyway. This is a meaningful distinction between things, but probably not how most of us would define a hit piece.

I think most of us would define a hit piece as an article intended to give a falsely negative impression by misleading the reader. This is a critical point, because some of the NYT article is negative but fair, while some of it is taking extraordinary liberties with the truth through omission and guilt-by-association, and it's the latter that makes it a hit piece. To say that Scott allowed white supremacists in his comments provided they didn't do anything too awful is a criticism based in fact, and the reader can decide how bad it is, but to imply Scott himself is a racist because he agreed with Charles Murray on a UBI is what makes it a hit piece.
Cheaper market probably
And yet, we're ahead of schedule here: https://www.brusselstimes.com/news/belgium-all-news/154717/a...

Like I said in another reply: if you're ahead of schedule when your supplier is dry, your schedule is awful. Isn't it? It makes no sense otherwise.

If we had 1 million vaccines to distribute right now, we couldn't. We have 150 "vaccination centers", all of which are converted testing centers but which makes only 10 percent or so of them full time; most of them are open a couple days a week. If you crunch down the numbers you end up very optimistically at the ability to distribute 250-350k vaccines per month... In a country roughly the same population as israel.

Edit: i don't even sort of understand why I'm getting downvoted for sharing plain numbers.
Cool because data is always cool :)

More seriously,because it would simply be impossible to run these social experiments in normal circumstances.

There are other examples; New Zealand and Australia tested a "closed border" approach, Sweden adopted a "personal responsibility" approach. Some places had curfews. The shere variety and scale of the last two years have generated enormous amounts of data, and matching data to long-term consequences will keep anthropologists busy for years.

And just might inform better choices when the next one happens.
Ever heard of typosquatting?
So whats your big improvement then? Locks are there to prevent random joes from entering your house, no one expects a lock to work against thieves that would be foolish because it never stopped em. Your argument is otherwise, you expect your “lock” to work on culprits. Also your offline scanning tech requires an update to hashes all the time, whats stopping any jury/govt from injecting hashes that aren’t CSAM, expecting governments and as an extension judiciary to operate in good faith is more foolish to assume.
Im not even talking about breaking into the scanning software, defeating the scan is as easy as not sending them as image simple.

Just like "Jacob Oracle" did on Twitter, you're gonna have to provide at least some proof of your accusation. Now this is not conclusive in any way, but the user has "Investing in #Bitcoin" listed in their Twitter biography, hinting that they have more to lose if Bitcoin loses it's price, rather than gain, so seems they don't have anything but fairness to win with this. But wouldn't be the first time someone lied on the internet.

Point still stands, proof or GTFO.
> Automatic TCO affects stack traces, which programs might rely on at runtime, requiring that browsers agree on what the right behavior should be;

Browsers don't have a say in this. They're making the decision to not be compliant with the specification, so they effectively don't support ES6.
Why wouldn't they? Is there anything specific about Apple hardware that enables iMessage to work that is missing on Android devices?
iMessage is paid for by your purchase of an Apple phone.

WhatsApp is paid for by ads that are customised by your data.
Tap and hold on a Chat in Android and it selects. A tick appears beside it. You can continue to tap on other chats to select multiple chats. A Bin icon will appear at the top to delete them.

I don't see what's so difficult about that.

[and, like a previous commenter, I never delete chats either but I sussed that out in about 2 seconds by following the standard Android convention of tapping and holding on items in a list, to make multiple selections.]

I also find it odd you condemn Telegram for its 'poor interface' when it's generally recognised as being one of the most polished of the various chat apps you list.

I've recently come to Telegram after years of using Wire and becoming frustrated with its stagnated development and user-hostile dev team. Before settling on Telegram, I also kicked the tyres on Signal and several other secure messengers and Telegram was lightyears ahead of them all, in terms of features and usability.
The article references a 9to5Mac article, which in turn references this article by Forbes, which I think should be the submission url instead.

I'm missing your point I guess. All those are equivalent?
In C an assignment has the value of the RHS, so that doesn't change anything in these examples.
The PC was still in its exponential growth phase during each of these transitions.

So the total number of computers built with 5.25" vs. 3.5" drives likely differed by at least a few orders of magnitude. Today's USB/SD-only devices outnumber all of the previous generations combined by several more orders of magnitude.

Fewer computers means fewer software releases and fewer files that warrant rescuing. I think there was just dramatically less stuff to copy.
Since this is a .net core project, I am a little puzzled as to why they didn't use the .net AES-GCM classes. It's part of .net core 3.1. There should be no reason to use AES-CBC mode in a newer application.
