1000 years is a stretch. Most of it occurred during the Abbasid Caliphate, which promulgated a school of Islamic scholarship and practice that supported and even promoted the development of worldly knowledge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbasid_Caliphate#Islamic_Gold...

Importantly, this school of Islam accepted or at least was tolerant of the idea that God controlled the world indirectly through what we now call natural laws. It's in this age that you saw the theological state financially support philosophy, the collection of foreign philosophic works into libraries, and their study and extension.

But an anti-intellectualist school very quickly rose to dominate the landscape, both the scholarship and lay practice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incoherence_of_the_Philoso... Subsequently, the preservation and advancement of philosophy was a mere echo of the earlier, short-lived era and occurred at the periphery of Islamic power rather than at its center as in the Abbasid Caliphate.

The same conflicts played out in Christianity, but fortunately orthodox (small-o) Christianity adopted a natural laws perspective. It's worth pointing out that there was never really a Dark Age in Europe. Rather, the political upheaval merely disrupted Europe's collective memory and severed its rich connections to the rest of Eurasia and Africa. Philosophical and scientific advancements proceeded, but without the benefit of well-understood context about the sources of received knowledge, and with a much diminished inflow of novel advancements.

FWIW, I hesitate to refer to the rise of the school which rejected natural laws as "anti-intellectualism". The school has its own internally consistent logic, and I understand why it would be appealing. You can see the appeal by recognizing the similarity with similar movements in Christianity. I don't think it's a coincidence that what we would call anti-intellectualism in the Christian world also coincides with, e.g., iconoclasm, another point of divergence between orthodox scholarship in Islam and Christianity. There's an appealing intellectual purity in reducing everything to a singular axiom that effectively says everything is as God wills it to be and that attempts to systematize his will is (like iconography) an intermediation and a rejection of his agency and presence. But that manner of viewing the world is not hospitable to the nurture of scientific rationalism, which is largely how we understand intellectualism today.

Note that I'm not trying to make the claim that Christianity is somehow better or more logical than Islam. As non-orthodox Christian denominations (i.e. the ones which, among other things, lean to biblical literalism) are happy to point out, the pro-intellectual characteristics of orthodox Christianity owe more to its inheritance from Greek and other sources largely orthogonal to the foundational doctrines of Christianity. In other words, orthodox Christianity was more hospitable to science despite itself. Islam shared many of the same influences, it just rejected them where orthodox Christianity syncretized them.
Surveying teens is hard. They don't take surveys seriously. My favourite teen survey result is one where 99% of respondents who reported having a false limb were joking[1] (sadly no link to the survey itself).

Anything that's reported based on a survey of teenagers should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Isn't the answer to "Why do they cluster on diagonals?" Really mundane? The answer of course being: horizontal and vertical lines are forbidden because all non-diagonal neighbours of an odd number are even. Then your mind focuses on all the runs because that is what the human brain does.
Sounds like a great solution. Have you written about this in any detail?
That's not the reason for it. Rather, there's a very high premium put on having third-level education in Ireland as it was historically one of the ways to get out of poverty, even if that meant emigrating elsewhere. We could do with more people actually doing vocational courses on the German model, but owing to shifts in our economy, that's not as popular as it once was.

Also, education in Ireland isn't quite free. Sure, it's inexpensive compared to, say, the US, but the important thing is that access to third-level institutions is radically egalitarian, practically to a fault, owing to how entrance into third-level education works, based on a points score from your top six subjects in your final second-level exams.

Would you say that not getting the degree was justified, since getting a degree is 50% the display of having the intellect to the subject and 50% the display of having the diligence, persistence and discipline to finish something, which is one of the most important traits in the professional world.

Cambly (YC W14) is hiring a lead iOS engineer to transform language learning
I'm reminded of the old comment at the bottom of the man page for 'su', where rms argues for why the implementation is deliberately less secure:

"Sometimes a few of the users try to hold total power over all the rest. For example, in 1984, a few users at the MIT AI lab decided to seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and keep- ing it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup and give power back to the users by patching the kernel, but I wouldn't know how to do that in Unix.)

However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual su mechanism, once someone learns the root password who sympathizes with the ordinary users, he can tell the rest. The "wheel group" feature would make this impossible, and thus cement the power of the rulers.

I'm on the side of the masses, not that of the rulers. If you are used to supporting the bosses and sysadmins in whatever they do, you might find this idea strange at first."

This argument frustrates me more than somewhat, especially if it is what Uber's engineers were thinking when they removed the last safeguard that could have avoided this fatal accident.

There is a reason for there being such a thing as a crash-test dummy, and for crash tests being done in elaborate facilities that simulate crashes. It is because testing how a vehicle handles a crash in live (literally) situations is both ineffective and unethical.

The purpose of the system under test is to drive safely. If the simple safety override was triggered, then that was probably a failure of the autonomous driving system. Any case where it was not could be identified afterwards, by analysis.

Furthermore, when you have a complex system controlling potentially dangerous machinery, it is a sound engineering principle to include simple 'censors' to catch the rare corner cases that are a feature of complex systems, no matter how carefully designed and thoroughly tested. Nuclear systems have a number of independent safety systems that can scram the reactor, each in response to a single specific condition. Disabling them for a test is what happened at Chernobyl.
Yeah, but I find it's true. I think that's why the first born tends to be, at least historically, the most important child. Because parents spend the most focused attention on them.

If it feels better though, as the youngest of three children, I find I was allowed to wander a bit more, and that has actually proved useful.
Just to elaborate on my earlier point:

As I said elsewhere in the thread, I don't particularly condone the requirement of modern society to care about superficial things. I find Stallman gross, and it's distracting, but I'll still listen.

However, what I care about more than Stallman is the causes he supposedly stands for. And Stallman hurts those causes because we're not in this fantasy world where almost nobody cares about appearances and those that don't "don't matter". 99+% of people care about form and appearances. Stallman hurts the cause with the current vibes he gives off, and the tone he takes.

I want to stress this point: There's always a lot of people in these threads who pop up, feeling superior that they "don't care" about Stallman's vibes. Good for you. But your inability to understand why it matters across people who aren't you is a failure, not a success.

Case in point: In Japan Prime Minister Abe wanted to change the constitution to allow Japan to engage in external conflicts if allies were in danger. The emperor of Japan suddenly said, "I'm old, you know. I think I want to retire, but there is no constitutional law that will allow me to abdicate. Please write this law ASAP". Prime Minister Abe does not have resources to do both constitutional changes at the same time...

The emperor of Japan is really awesome.

Basically user's time invested. They know how to use the current software "I NEED Photoshop to do my job!!!".

Even if some other software has the same or even slightly better abilities at a lower cost, the overall cost of switching is much greater. Especially if someone else is paying for the tools.

Until some software appear that make user's competition more efficient and they are forced to learn new ways to not get out competed.

Then the cycle starts all over again.

I don't see the point. RMS directs the organization and establises the policy it follows.

That would be like a printing press janitor feeling entitled to censor what he feels a newspaper should not publish.

First off, note that hook turns are a bike thing, not a car thing — trying to imagine it with cars isn’t going to make any sense. They rely on the fact that bikes are small enough that they can fit in the space in front of the stopped opposite-direction cars (which might be a crosswalk, bike box, etc). You just go stop there, turn your bike so it’s pointing the right direction, and wait for the green.

They work even better with dedicated bike infrastructure as depicted in the diagram about half way through this article: https://www.vox.com/2015/8/12/9139771/protected-intersection...

Even with the red herring about the safety overrides being a black box, yes, it would be satisfactory - see my other post. Not only would the triggering of the safety override generally indicate a failure of the autonomous system, the use of failsafe overrides to catch corner cases should be a feature of the final system.

If Uber could demonstrate, through the analysis of a statistically significant number of events, that its system was actually safer without the car manufacturer's override (e.g. if all the events were false positives), then it would be appropriate to disable it at that time. That's how you do it.
When I first heard about growth hacking back in the day, as distinct from typical marketing, it was defined as engineering the product itself to propagate to new users. The “classic” example at the time was building social features into programs - Eg, spotify’s social integration.

Thing is, to the best of my knowledge, it (a) never really grew to anything beyond social integration, and (b) was soon expanded in scope to just mean “all marketing by people who wish they were in Silicon Valley,” and subsequently to “all marketing.”

But it had a real definition behind it at some point.

I hate these people. The pessimist in me thinks it's the emergent behavior of universities convincing people they have to have a college education to be successful, which turns out millions of MBA's, who then descend on society, looking for untapped profit to optimize.
