I'd be interested to hear any advice you might have on understanding the papers. Particularly, how do you understand the "priors" that specify goals/preferences/set-points in active inference?
> Though, I don't see how it goes against the point of motherfuckingwebsite? The point of motherfuckingwebsite was to keep it accessible and fast, which the third site certainly does.

No, I don't think that was the point. The point of the original was that all the extra stuff the "best" version added to improve the orignial is unnecessary in the first place. For example, from the original:

"You thought you needed media queries to be responsive, but no. Responsive means that it responds to whatever motherfucking screensize it's viewed on. This site doesn't care if you're on an iMac or a motherfucking Tamagotchi."

From the "best"

"Every asshole that visits this website can use it without any problem well, kind of"
"It's accessible, so everyone can enjoy it but not everyone can read this - this text is Ant-Accessible"
"It doesn't use a single media query well, not really"

All of the above seems to be explicitly against the aesthetic of the original. The original was 6Kb, while the "Best" is 600% larger, and really doesn't have much more content wise. Certainly not 600% more. And what do you get with all that bloat? Nothing that makes the site more accessible or easier to read than the first. Everything about this "best" is worse than the first and second.

This has got to be parody or else it makes no sense.

> The JS is for the inverted view button, and some text that shifts through colors. I wish more sites had a dark mode.)

If more sites focused on just content the way motherfucking website advocates, it would be easy to style it however you please. It shouldn't be the website's job to adjust itself to your preferred reading conditions. It should give you the content, and then you can decide on fonts and colors. Opera does this right, with a mode that will strip out the stylesheet and replace it with your own, so you can invert any website you like. The problem is, it doesn't work well on sites that get too fancy with JS and CSS.
Ugh, they always try to pull this trick too.

Joking about it doesn't make it any less ridiculous that the builder couldn't turn off whatever analytics addiction they have for the single site that is literally about not including extra stuff. If they had rendered the entire page in React and downloaded 3 MB of web fonts, sticking <!-- yes, I know --> in a comment wouldn't make me less annoyed at them.

How hard can it be to commit to the bit for one single page?

Then they can go back to their blog or whatever and load whatever extra stuff they want.
Components aren’t a well defined thing. Most people mean “React class” when they say component. React apps are much more than components. Some components have their own state, some don’t, some touch global state, routing and data fetching are often not components.

“Component” web apps are by no means simple.
I want to know how BA gets away with their ridiculous fuel surcharges.

Qantas does not have a "near monopoly". There's plenty of alternatives.

However, Qantas is the preferred carrier for businesses though, so their tickets during the morning around 8 AM and early evening tend to be fairly expensive, as they are the most popular flights for business travelers.

I think brutalist web design would be different. These design elements like hyperlink styles, colours... these are not so much a representation of the cconstruction materials. They just feel like arbitrary design choices that through the power of ‘default’ become ubiquitous and so damn played out that they are offensive to the eye imho.

The construction of websites these days would be revealed in visible responsive columns. Visible cookies... Visible scripts, indented into the page, modular html5 tags...

Sticky nav bars are brutalist I think. Don’t they just feel brutalist? It’s the blocky additional toolbar vibe, it feels like a utilitarian UI choice.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that the OP’s idea of brutalism feels a little lazy. It feels more anti-design then true to brutalism. The brutalist buildings in my city don’t feel like textfiles. They feel raw, geometric and useful.. kind of like the fan of my old PC tower...

If nothing else, then for the sake of my eyes please just change your colours a bit and go to google fonts and switch it up. This isn’t Morse code.

Also, there is no way a brutalist architect would put their profile picture at the base of their building.
Systemd-timers are awesome
I think membership of the Qantas club has a lot to do with this, and the fact that it's a Oneworld membership. See my comment in this thread about doing MEL-CBR; I was doing that weekly, got Platinum, and am I loyal to Qantas? Sure as shit I am, I can buy an economy ticket to see my family back in the UK and get access to the international First Class lounges.

Also the fact is that the Business lounge at CBR is practically an extension of the office from 5-7pm. Everyone you know is there.
Eternal is, of course, a very strong word, but I raise you POSIX, X11, and win32.
An example below of admittedly last resort option :

Idea Title: Anaesthetise boys and remove from cave.

Idea Description:
The boys would be anaesthetised, intubated (tube down throat to protect airway) placed in waterproof bag and pulled from cave by diver. Portable battery operated ventilators can ventilate a sedated patient for well more than 3 hours required to extract them. Ideally a long acting sedative/anaesthetic could be used and readministered at the rest spots on the route out. This idea would be a last resort for boys who were unable to use scuba equipment.

My level of expertise:
While I am a doctor I am not trained in anaesthetics and have forgotten everything I learned in a PADI diving course 25 years ago.

Gaps in my knowledge:
1 I don’t know what equipment would be required to ensure stabilisation of an endotracheal tube in a patient being dragged through a cave. E.g. If the endotracheal tube leaked or came out of the trachea, then 1. The patient would no longer be ventilated and would die within minutes, and 2. The thick plastic bag they are held within would begin to inflate making them difficult to manoeuvre and potentially trapping them in narrow crevasses.
2. Susceptibility of battery operated ventilators to minor water infiltration is an unknown.
3. Availability of large thick waterproof vinyl dry-bag required to protect the patient.

It's hardly like the Thai's are using buckets to drain the cave, they'll already have the highest capacity pumps they can find.

A pump for pumping rocket fuel into a rocket is very different to the kind of pump you'd use to pump out a cave. For a start, rocket fuel isn't filled with grit and other bits.
I cannot fathom this as a publicity stunt. Instead it strikes me as kick-ass can-do attitude of the best kind.

> Crowd review and voting

We haven't even "solved" internet comments yet, so applying this to any real life critical situation seems weird. Why crowd? People doing actual engineering do this process inside companies all the time: collecting requirements, processing ideas, evaluating solutions.

I feel like the last thing you want to replace them with is a vague internet crowd. See YouTube comments under a random "I made this thing" video for reasons why...
For me though, if you are going to make a site all about how hardcore your design style is... So hardcore that you can’t be bothered to at least choose some less painful colours and typography. Then I want to open your code and get a hardcore hacker vibe like it was made with a punch card or something.
The battle between OAuth 1.0a, 2.0, and OIDC is really long and drawn out and doesn't seem to have a clear winner which I think is hurting everyone (though of course some companies are winning because they can support everything and offer that as value).

I sure do wish people would just standardize on OIDC...
They really do feel like that old Apple magic from when you first got an iPod.

I ordered them when they came out and figured I’d return/sell them if I didn’t like them. I had normal corded headphones, wasn’t sure I’d really care.

Given how long it took for them to fix supply issues that was a good decision.

But they really changed the way I do everything. They’re so small in their case that I can just carry it with me all the time, so I never have to worry about if I left my headphones somewhere. I always have some on me. By and large they sound better than my old headphones (comfortable/decent sounding $20 model, so no big surprise) but they’re so incredibly convenient.

I don’t remember the last thing I could give an unqualified recommendation to other than AirPods. Android users don’t get some of the benefits of easy pairing, and of course your ears have to fit the things... but they’re fantastic.
Hell if they make it...

I'm praying for them.
How does the lower wage person not have the same choice? Working 40 hours pays $25,000, working 80 hours pays $50,000. Why should a person not have this choice?

Maybe it’s five? I just know that sometimes I wear them nonstop starting from when I come back from lunch and they die a bit before I leave; if I haven’t taken a break and charged them for a few minutes.

I’ve also had them since launch and use them basically every single day at work. Maybe those ridiculously tiny batteries have worn down a little bit.
These are kids so weak I’m not even sure they are allowed to eat solid food yet and some of them don’t know how to swim.

A trained Thai Navy Seal died on the route. If these kids have to swim for it the betting odds are they all drown.

No one has any idea on what to do. That’s why nothing’s been done.

Thanks for the catch.

I wonder if this is part of the reason why I can't really tell the difference in the dark mode pictures, at least without zooming in all the way. I guess the colors from subpixel antialiasing would be less noticable when overlayed or transitioning from dark to light rather than from light to dark?

> the tricks they use with colours don't actually work with people like me who are red green colour blind.

Oh crud, this never occurred to me. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I remind myself that red/green doesn't work for everyone, I still find myself forgetting about it all the time.
But that’s the free ones you get with the NHS.

I know from when my grandfather went through this stuff a few years ago capabilities varied widely. Everything from an electronic “ear tube” that does nothing but make things louder up too much fancier things with digital processing to help you hear voices. It all depended on how much money you had to spend/how good your insurance was. Sounded like it was common for people to get the low-end models and only something for one ear to try and save money.
As much as I want to share your cynicism, I doubt this keeps anyone on a given website for more than a few extra seconds.
Japan is listed lower than the United States, and even New Zealand, so I can't really tell how valid this information is.

Besides EU, Canadian and US companies you might want to consider Singapore and Hong Kong. Especially in Singapore, people speak English well and both have ( to the best of my knowledge ) reasonable employment visa policies, specifically to draw outside talent.

So your idea is that the people at the site, with the most information on the conditions, should ignore what they know and carry out the wishes of internet commenters who have no direct information about what's happening.

And further, the people with the most at stake.. whos full attention is on accomplishing it safely... should instead use ideas from people with no real attachment to its success, and no real consequences to its failure, who came up with an idea on a whim.

I think it's a waste of time to build anything like you suggest. The experts on the ground, with all of the information at their hands about current conditions, who's full attention is on this issue... can handle it without the internets help. The people on the ground aren't dummies either. Maybe instead work on trusting that they really do want to help, and they're doing the best work they can considering the resources and conditions they are working under.
Dask is already this! They have a dataframe replacement, a numpy array replacement, and some lower level primitives like dask.delayed too. Plus, the nice thing is that it's already being used with large amounts of data, and the warts (which were plentiful two years ago) are rapidly reducing.

I mean it’s a slightly better idea than the alternative, which is force weak kids who can’t even eat solid food because of starvation, many who can’t even swim, to try and swim through it. If that’s what happens the odds that even one of them make it aren’t very good.

Whatever the solution is doesn’t have to be perfect. Since the alternative is almost certain death, anything that gets even a few of them through part of the cave is better than nothing.

And if kept under pressure and combined with constant pumping it might last just long enough to get them out. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough to get them part way or to make sure they don’t all drown.

"This form is the one and only place to submit content requests."

A brilliant move on what would have been a huge issue of people harassing them on TV Shows requests.

A to the point, this is what to do, there is nothing else page customer support people can very quickly point people to!

And every now and again they can set interns with nothing to do to analyse the data and see if it has value.

Wing Inflatables is a partner for SpaceX. This is pretty smart as they had expertise in flotation devices. The general assumption that SpaceX was designing and manufacturing these out of SpaceX spacecraft material was wrong. In fact, they were probably en route via Elon's private jet around the time he started tweeting about them.

No comment on why people like to use it, but I know why they like to learn it: it's a new programming paradigm, as you said. It broadens the way you think about code.
I’ve just bitten the bullet and replace them every 6 months. I think there’s a flaw that let the outside grill get pushed in and making the whole thing quieter.

>In context, we're not talking about a big business, because the market is a small number of people with special needs. It seems quite inappropriate to compare them to "most of the world".

I think we're talking about very different things. To directly address your comment: When you say the market is a small number, you are correct: The market is workers living outside the US who happen to be American. Foreign workers of pretty much every other country do not deal with this. It's a market very targeted to Americans.

And its smallness makes it expensive.

But when I said how your comment about paying for tax prep was a very American outlook, I was referring to the reality that so many in the US rely either on tax software or pay a company to do their taxes. This is a practice alien (AFAIK) to most countries - they have much simpler tax codes and rarely do they need to make special payments for tax prep. Having to pay a tax prep company because you happen to be American is effectively a tax on being an American. For many outside the US, saying "It's not a big deal - just pay a tax company to handle it" is like me telling a typical American "It's not a big deal. Just pay a company $500 annually to do the paperwork that gives you the right to own a pet" - it's a crazy notion. It's easy to dismiss it as "Less than 10% of your tax burden - what's the big deal?"

Just a few days ago I was reading a story of a Canadian/American dual citizen. She was born to American parents, but as a kid her parents migrated to Canada - she had lived most of her life in Canada, and had no real relations in the US. The old tax law was that she is not considered a US citizen unless she actively declares herself as one after she turns 18. That law changed recently (I think under Obama) to treat her like all other Americans for tax purposes. Suddenly she had to deal with filing paperwork, and getting taxed on certain retirement/investment benefits (that are tax free in Canada but not in the US - think stuff like Roth IRA in the US), etc.

When I was in school, I knew many foreign grad students - it can take 5-8 years to get a PhD - and if you're young and married, there's a good chance you'll have a kid or two during your stay at school. Some of them returned to their home countries (contractual obligations, etc). I don't know if their kids will eventually move to the US and claim citizenship, but they will have the burden of dealing with US taxes wherever they live in the world - whether they earn a good amount of money or not.

Finally, getting back to your original comment:

The interesting thing I learned about birds is that they have more efficient brains, pound for pound, than mammals. It's not just about brain-size-to-total-mass ratio, it's also an absolute how-much-processing-power-does-this-brain-mass-get-me ratio. This almost assuredly would have been driven by the constraints demanded by the need for flight. Crows can use tools just like primates, with far, far smaller absolute brain weights.

Large companies actually enforce this fairly well.

For instance, there is software on employees' computers which will hard shutdown the computer after a couple warnings. Companies which offer transport for employees have curtailed bus service from last departure at 12am to last departure at around 9pm.

It is implemented in a fairly interesting way though. Before the new regulation, the overtime policies were calculated on a weekly basis. Now it is done on monthly basis. I think this is done to allow you to 'burst' above the 52h limit in some weeks while staying in compliance on monthly basis.

Note that companies will deduct an hour a day for breaks whether you use it or not. So even a 52h week can mean 52+5=57/5=11.4h per day. So 5 straight nearly 12h days is technically not considered overtime.
