The "machine for living" philosophy is intended to be ergonomic, but is extremely rigid and therefore as soon as there are unanticipated needs it ends up anti-ergonomic.

There is also a great tendency for modern architecture to be selected purely based on looks, which produces all kinds of strange anti-egonomic disasters. Libraries that echo. Office blocks that focus the sun onto random burning spots on the street.

Then there's the effect of anti-ornamentation on the human psyche. I seem to remember that one of the modernist car parks in Britain was demolished partly because too many people were committing suicide from it.
you are being downvoted but what you are describing is unfortunately exactly what is going on.

There is that political push to pretend everyone is exactly equal. Following that doctrine, Every difference would only be to blame on your environment.
Over the last couple years, this trend is going over well established scientific proofs. That ideology is getting very dangerous and I think we are getting into a dark age of science for those controversial subjects where political correctness and playing nice will be seen as more important than scientific proofs.

I'm mostly aphantasic: I get brief flashes of images, completely out of my control, and I can't hold onto them; images appear and disappear in a split second. After learning about aphantasia and the very surprising reality that some people can just see whatever they want in their head I started practicing. I've only gotten slightly better in about two years of practice. Best results are as I'm falling asleep, but I still cannot force an image to appear, I just try to hang on to whatever shows up, though it still doesn't last longer than a couple seconds. So this doesn't seem like something one can meaningfully improve through practice :/

Just because something is a good predictor doesn't make it scientific. There could be a third variable like wealth which needs to be controlled for, but is rarely done in those studies with few exceptions.

In those exceptions, it was generally found that wealth of parents played a much bigger role in future success than IQ.
Thank you for replying, despite my shitty abrasive attitude.

No the normies don't know anything, that's why they are buying garbage like cars without keys, "connected" door locks, and burglar alarms that some talk radio host tells them is "safe". You can't teach them, and if you have something better to sell with meritable security they won't choose it.

I don't know if you were surprised to find what you found. At any rate, you knew that this stuff is garbage as soon as you found it. And so has anyone who has attacked just about anything. From consumer junk to military toys, there is very little out there that has actually incorporated much thought to attack resistance... the only examples I can think of right now are pay television and some game consoles... really, the most frivolous things.

I think it was the late 90s when I checked into a hotel and was slightly surprised to get a magcard instead of the swiss cheese looking ving stuff I was used to. I am sure that I am not the first or only one who thought, well this is shit. The card probably only encodes a site code and an id for the individual lock. I was impressed to learn that when the next guest gets a card then mine won't work anymore. But whether we had the capacity to realize how stupid the implementation must be, we all had some reassurance in that there was at least a level of sophistication required to put me at risk there. Whether that's a shitty night clerk disclosing the password for that card writing device, or someone who took apart the lock to figure out how to throw the bolt, there was something more required than a dickhead reading the internet to do it. And for like fifteen years "it was acceptable" because nobody gave a how-to to everyone.

So what were we supposed to do when the details - not the idea - were disclosed? Not travel anymore? You did make the attack a lot easier than necessary to make your point. Explaining an overview, the idea, still carries some risk - there are so many people in the world that nobody has any novel skill and someone's bound to replicate the rest of your work - but all these details lowered the bar unreasonably.

Man, what if I had published the party trick that lets you start a toyota without any keys or fob? I know I'm not the only one and doubt I was the first. But it's not that people could lose their property, it's possible that people who would not normally have access to "that car" would do something extremely shitty with this possibly lethal weapon. Another attacker without travel experience, grown up in the usa, might not realize that in other places you can get away with car theft simply by driving east. I wouldn't have thought about this when I was young but now I sure as hell don't want anything like this on me.

At first glance it seems like there should be observable differences between the delusion hypothesis and the aphantasia hypothesis and thus they can be told apart experimentally.

It might also be possible to check with MRI which areas of the brain are active and whether there's a difference between those groups. If something known to process visual data is active in some people and not in others it would be evidence against the delusion hypothesis. In fact, some of the cited papers seem to be doing something like that.

I guess the author of this paper has a low IQ. And he probably measure his own intelligence by the level of noise he produces.
IQ is the measure of a potential, actually and it correlates with brillant minds when they really use it.
I'm going with the actual consensus across scientific which is that IQ is a valid measurement.

This article is surfing on the leftist wave of pretending that everyone is completely equal in every possible way. IQ measurements are seen as bad thing as it would lessen the theory that we are all biologically equal and that only our environment would define us.

This article is more political than scientific.

It is really sad. It really reads as if the outcome of the article was decided in advance then the article written in order to build a narrative for the conclusion

Between Fusion and OnShape, these days I pretty much use the latter exclusively, just because it works on Linux and is good enough. However, a few weeks ago I tried to find the free tier for a friend and just could not find it. I think they removed it altogether.

Node.js turns 10 in a few months. TypeScript is 6 years old. Webpack is 6 years old. React is 5 years old. Redux is 3 years old.

Front end JS and TS went through a phase of rapid change 2 to 6 years ago, but I don't think that rapid change is still happening. Certainly there are new libraries, and maintainers still like to play fast and loose with backwards compatibility, but it's not obvious that you have to keep up to date with every single new framework anymore.
anecdote time: Once I was taking IQ tests with a group of other people, one guy in that group I knew was just really an idiot.

This guy really did seem to be stupider than me in every conceivable measure. There was just no possible human endeavor that I did not feel confident in beating him and this is a pretty rare thing to notice in people for me, I can think of 4-5 people in my life I've thought this of (discounting people suffering from obvious disabilities)

Anyway we took the IQ tests, he came back when he got his result, extremely happy and announced 'I got a 100! I had no idea it was that high!'

I have a lot of respect for Taleb but I think he always overstates any conclusion. There is no doubt that IQ does not capture a hell lot of things. There is no doubt that many people will succeed in life despite flunking at IQ tests (Feynman scored mere 126 in mensa test).

The question is does IQ gives you some idea about the person's behavior in real life or not ? I think it is indisputably yes.

Despite that knowledge, it developed potentially infringing material without resolution of the IP ownership issues, and then publicized the release of that material during the pendency of this action.

Given that Plaintiff largely created the foregoing predicament, the Court is disinclined to extricate Plaintiff from a peril of its own making.

You are talking about very long term success. It is somewhat obvious that wealth you are born into should be an important factor for overall success.

I'm talking about shorter term success, like job performance.
Ah, so the body is basically overfitting the training data.
The whole section is kind of strange. First he says that he believes only technology breakthroughs can solve the climate crisis, despite the expert consensus that the technology is mostly there if the political will can be found to disruptively deploy it.

So, presumably, he thinks that mustering the political will is intractable. Then, a few paragraphs later, he admits that his preferred fix of nuclear energy is also blocked by... political constraints. Why he thinks he'll make more progress touting nuclear energy, which is wildly unpopular, instead of "green jobs", which polls well, he doesn't say.
> a set of non-evidential assumptions about their mental development

I think if you look at the best evidence we have (IQ), it does support the general idea that there are a set of "un-smart" kids. But that depends on the definition of smart. If you're a teacher of a subject in which IQ is a predictor then why not treat individuals differently?

Obviously _some_ people do believe that is what spies do. I would even venture the majority of people believe that. The people that write in these threads on HN are more in the know than most of the public, because they had some interest/curiosity about them. Most of the public lack knowledge about these institutions and have a severely distorted image of what they do.

Yup. About 15 years ago, doing search/replace on multi-hundred-MB log files and SQL database dumps.

About 3-4 years ago it stopped being nearly as performant with large files (even a couple MB).

I’ve never had a problem with either BBEdit or Textwrangler mangling files. I can believe there may have been such a bug at one point, but I must have sidestepped it - perhaps it was caught and fixed quickly.
Maybe a reasonable approach would be a short default copyright time with the option to renew it every 5-10 years for a big sum of money.

Wow.

Your comment made something click for me: I just realised that I'm losing this ability somehow.

I'm in my late twenties, and as a teenager I was very into reading novels, very dreamy and would daydream constantly about things ( real-world situations, memories, or fantastic ideas).Nowadays I barely get into fiction, pretty much all I read is either technical or essays, and it's been a while since I have a memorable dream. My memory is horrible for personal events too.

I don't know whether this development of my personality is due of barely being able to see something in my mind, or the other way around - but I just tried, and realized that I can't do it anymore. I try to visualize a car, or a landscape, and I just can't, only abstract concepts come to my mind. I'm only getting flashes of an image when trying to "see" familiar faces, like those of my family.
