For a bunch of topics in math broadly, this is a nice book, with an emphasis on intuition rather than thorough proofs(hence a compact and readable book) : All the Mathematics You Missed

There's of course Roger Penrose's "The road to reality" which has a completely different emphasis (more focused on fundamental physics and therefore introduces a lot of the math used there) but is also very interesting to read. This however, is a real time -- will take some effort to go through, but probably worth it :-)

At my first job, our lab worked closely with the local TRIGA research reactor, and I did write and run some Java code that analyzed data collected in it. The Java license has always prohibited its use in nuclear reactors, but I figured a little offline analysis would be OK. The results didn't influence the use of radiation in any way.

ImageMagick is old enough and I used it regularly back in the day, but I think (it's been 20 years) most of the data I got was just raw numbers so there probably wouldn't have been much call for it.

I was also working on some (non-nuclear) image processing algorithms at the time, so it's quite likely I ran 'convert' on my laptop while inside the reactor building.

If by "modern society" you mean colonizing the American South-West and California, you are probably right. Those places are deserts and semi-deserts and should have been left sparsely populated, but a combination of corruption, American exceptionalism gave us this.

Thus said, there are plenty of places around the Mediterranean which have always been pretty warm in the summer, and where there is a convention of closing down between noon and 4 PM, but spreading the work-day longer during the evening and the early morning (think 8-12 4-8 instead of 9-5). So I strongly suspect that there is much about this that is a matter of culture and habit.

(Not to mention that your use of modern is pretty wrong historically, since AC is a contemporary invention, definitely not modern, but I'm digressing...)

It's very much "not all Japanese".

Of course it does. Nearly everyone today is time poor. Let's say your time costs $40/hour. A "free" open source app that takes three hours to set up costs $120 and if it takes an average of an hour a month to maintain it costs $40/month. This assumes you are an IT person or have that skill set. If you are not most FOSS is unusable or would take orders of magnitude more time to use.

The reason for poor UX in FOSS is because UX is often more work than the core of the software and is almost entirely the sort of work that is the least fun. For the most part only commercial software has good UX because programmers have to be paid to do the miserable iterative nit picky polishing work required to achieve it.

That last paragraph is an interesting perspective, thank you.
Let’s walk together through a typical city neighbourhood street today. As we converse, let’s raise our voices to drown out the hum of air conditioners jutting out from windows or affixed to cement pads beside buildings.

Some old stores have doors that once had a transom window overhead. In older times, the transom windows were opened on a warm day, and hot air in the room would rise, and then be blows out of the building through the transom window.

Today, we close them windows up, creating a box that superheats in the sun. So we stick air conditioners in the old transom windows, and they blow hot air into the street like jet engines.

As we walk past these, we must duck. The hot air will eventually rise, but as it erupts from the air conditioner, turbulence brings the heat down to our level, making a hot day even hotter for those walking past.

Air conditioning has always been the proposition that “I’m cooling myself at somebody else’s expense.”
The other factor to preventing heat stroke is humidity. Dry heat can be okay, but if it's also too humid, you can't sweat the heat off. (this is a slight oversimplification) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature#Wet-bulb_...
This is one of the other jobs of a notary: not vouching for identity, but rather signing off on a document stating that a collection of associated objects are what is described in the document.

Such a document has the same sort of purpose as a certificate of authenticity you'd get from an appraiser; but you use a notary in cases where the thing doesn't need authentication to be valuable, instead being a liquid asset with a clear market value. The notary doesn't write down such a value, or even know it; they just sign off on a description of the item, knowing that the value can later be readily determined from the description by any interested party.

Of course, to make this work, you need the notary to sign off on the contents of the collection right before you secure the collection into storage. Otherwise, you could just make arbitrary alterations to the contents yourself. For this reason—and because notaries don't usually like getting dragged all around town to vouch for things—usually a bank will retain the services of notary of their own, and offer it to safe-deposit-box users as an option. If a notary is used to vouch for the contents on first deposit, then a notary must be used on all further deposits/withdrawals to "retain the chain of custody." This turns the safe deposit box into a managed safe-deposit service.
Completely agree. I'm an information security consultant and my organization has been getting into cloud security more and more over the past few years. Fundamentally there's not a big difference in cloud vs on-premise security, the risks are the same and the technology is more or less the same so the steps you take are more or less the same... with that one huge caveat.

Far too often I see clients who move their development and operations teams to the cloud but not their network or IAM/GRC teams. And they expect that because AWS (et al) is the cloud, it's just the DevOps people who need access and they can handle it all. So now you have developers and system administrators doing networking, firewalls, IAM, etc.

There's a big difference between enterprise cloud environments and developer-friendly cloud environments.

aha .jpg. Been many a system fall foul to buffer overflows in attachments. Blackberry had one system (NT) doing all attachment processing and that fell foul of .jpg issues in the same vain.

Thing is, once a flaw is found in some library or another, those updates and changes don't always get propergated across to all devices, be they a router, fax machine, scanner, printer etc etc. Many of which get deemed - it works, never touched again once setup. That is even presuming that the manufacturer updates and releases new firmware in the first place.

Remember, many bits of kit list what open source libraries etc they use and versions, yet are often slow or artificially obsoleted via support being dropped. So they end up remaining vulnerable to what will be an exploit. This makes them easy to identify thanks to their open source statement and list of what they use and with that, fall foul to script-kiddy style attacks for want of a better way of phrasing it.

The argument is not simply about "withholding" these technologies, but (as the article title explicitly says) restricting them to the rich.

Do the researchers have a methodology to keep these separate in their analyses?

Here's a simple example-- what would keep the researchers from counting "Samy is our hero" as an example of lightning speed message syncronization of social media users? If the answer is that a third party told them it wasn't that, their methodology seems quite brittle and subject to error.

Especially considering that today's manipulation is vastly more sophisticated, insidious, and weaponized.

Measuring Progress Toward AGI Is Hard
My personal choice would be Clojure. I learned Racket and Common Lisp but haven't used them build something production-grade yet. I don't even know how to properly build, deploy and monitor a Racket server yet.

Racket is good but the toolchain and libraries are far behind Clojure. Especially Cider and Cursive are so great, and for libraries, there are a lot of solid ones like Ring/Compojure, interesting things like Duct, Pathom, Fulcro.

Common Lisp is also good, SBCL/Slime is solid, but it has its own idioms, a multiple paradigm Lisp-2 and feels pretty different from Scheme and Clojure. I found single-paradigm languages like Clojure and Scheme are sufficient to do most things already.

Java-world-wise, you don't have to deal with Java most of the time if you don't want to. There are plenty of Clojure libraries which of course follow Clojure idioms.
Sorta anecdotal but I live in Phoenix, AZ and in the summer time it is regular 110f+ during the day and close to, if not still above 100f at night. Opening windows doesn't help.

Most of our electric bill in the summer goes to the AC unit(s). Some people have evap/swap coolers but those only go so far, and stop working during monsoons cause it's already too humid.

> In the signaling model, subsidizing everyone’s schooling to improve our jobs is like urging everyone to stand up at a concert to improve our views.

It seems that model doesn't even attempt to pretend anymore that our society gives equal opportunity to everyone? Now only the rich shall have the opportunity to signal? That's why I didn't want to go into the actual proposals in that critique... at best they seem to ignore all the complexity of the actual world we live in. Kinda reminded me of someone who just discovered Libertarianism and now thinks governments are totally unnecessary.

If his argument would be "we should reduce signaling", I'd totally love for that to be possible. But I'm not sure it actually is, when taking all the game-theoretic aspects of the real world into account. Maybe all he wants is to reset the out of control spiral of signaling for now? But if the only way we can do so is also a 0.1%er-capitalists wet dream, then I've little hope for the future. Signaling will always exist and be necessary as long as there is a competitive job market, and I don't see society working without.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respond. I like the first observation, since it highlights how narrow the allowed path for effective signaling is. Just finishing the material isn't enough, you have to be accepted into the school through official ways. Some observations are kind of weak, though. Especially the second, since it boils down to many people preferring short term gratification over long term success. Students will cheer even if tests are standardized and those canceled classes thus will lead to worse grades => failure at signaling.
Yes and no... The only valid answer anyone with a law degree and experience could ever give you when dealing with a bank is "you're on your own with anything that could conceivably happen even if it's not in the document you sign".

Otherwise you will never assume the conditions can change without prior notice (none that they can prove anyway, signature on receipt is too cumbersome for the bank it seems), that the risk you're taking comes from the bank, that the bank can drill the safe and take everything inside, or that the bank can take your stuff "by mistake", no notice, and get to keep it. It's common sense. The courts disagree. They see all this as perfectly legal because it is. That's what lobbies buy you.

> Banks typically argue - and courts have in many cases agreed - that customers are bound by the bank’s most-current terms, even if they leased their box years or even decades earlier.

> And the scant protections offered by state laws are often simply ignored

If you want to see how ridiculous it sounds when applied to another industry with slightly shallower pockets imagine this: after paying all your premiums for insurance the insurance company changes the conditions to say "covers 0% of the damage" then steals your car and keeps it.
Amusingly, air conditioning created the problem that air conditioning solves.

Prior to widespread air conditioning, men wore lightweight suits, shorts, and hats in the summer. It was commonplace to have two sets of business attire, one for cool months, another for the summer.

Air conditioning is what made it possible to wear a navy blue wool “power suit” in August, and once that happened, summer clothing stopped appearing at work and became specialized for causal wear to semi-formal activities.

If we want suits without air conditioning, we could theoretically rediscover summer-weight clothing again. But I’m not holding my breath.
Right, because Sony doesn't already make almost any imaginable electronic device, many of which were introduced to the market for the first time by Sony. And it's not that good way to check anyway, I might realistically buy the device depending on the price and post-release real-user reviews, but no way I'm gonna fund it for Sony.
>serverless systems don't cost you money when you(r customers) don't use them

All the horror stories I see surrounding huge surprise Lambda bills always bring me back to this point. If I have to pay $5/mo for a server I only use for two hours once every few months, that's something that should go on Lambda. If it's something that I'm using constantly, all day every day, a server will be cheaper.

If I only use my car once every few weeks, Uber makes a lot of sense. If I use it every day back and forth to work and the grocery store, Uber's gonna be a lot more expensive.

Lambda is for small tasks that don't execute often. And using it right can save startups gobsmackingly large amounts of money.

> There is a duty of care

Attorney here! (Not legal advice -- consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction).

In order to prevail in a negligence case, you have to establish duty of care in your complaint. You can't simply declare it exists and expect a court to accept it without question.

That said, I generally agree with the rest of your comment. You can always tell how much entities are really looking out for your interest by reading their limitations-of-liability clauses. Wise consumers should purchase insurance to cover the gap.
Thanks, this was a great writeup with lots of benchmarks.
That problem is already solved though by the FDA (and clinicaltrials.gov). Once you submit your documents to the trusted authority you can't modify them without it being super obvious.
I think there's two types of work-induced burnout. "White collar" burnout is generally self-inflicted, and to me less about working oneself to exhaustion and more about working any amount of hours on something that you subconsciously believe is fundamentally misaligned with your core principles/true self. My hypothesis on why this seems to be happening at higher rates is because without a focus on raising a family and/or participation in organized religion, our careers/workplace have become the "things" that we now try to put all this meaning behind, and what was once separated from our "life" (e.g. work/life balance) has become our life, and the psychological burden of being forced to be 100% emotionally invested/devoted to our work has consequences.

"Blue collar" burnout, to me, is the archetypal fast food worker making minimum wage working paycheck to paycheck, who not only has to deal with financial insecurity that comes with the job but the physical (actual manual "work") and psychological (rude customers) burdens that come with those types of jobs.
On Vancouver island, there is a generally worry about losing jobs related to natural resources. The conservationists want to replace those jobs with tourism, and it’s actually working, but then you have to say no to all the money ‘just sitting there’ after the tourism jobs are created.

Interestingly, clear cuts mimic natural disturbance types (particularly in some of the historically fire maintained ecosystems). It's not quite as cut and dry as clear-cut logging is bad. That said, we're pulling far too much wood out of our landscape here in BC, faster than it's able to replenish that's for sure.
Actually this is due to the slightly "clickbaity" tile... If you had read the article you would easily find it is about:

To be clear: what I've described is not a "fix" – it's an unalloyed improvement. I use this configuration uniformly across all keyboards: control and ESC on the home row FTW.

Also, take your angry generalizations about TouchBar users elsewhere. Aside from the ESC key loss I'm fine with the TouchBar, and know quite a few competent touch-typist developers who really like it as well. It is very divisive, but please leave off characterizing others' preferences according to your own frustration.

And I really do understand your frustration with the keyboards. They're just not great, and the reliability problems are a disaster. The only silver lining is that there's pretty reliable info that Apple is switching back to scissor mechanism keyboards for its laptops this year. Doesn't help the rest of us stuck with the "bad" years keyboards, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
