Because when the time for performance reviews comes around, you want to be able to have information to fill in your self-evaluation. It can be difficult to remember what you accomplished 3 months ago, especially if you have writing anxiety or are habitually inclined to lack confidence in yourself. If you hand in an empty self-evaluation, it can lead to you getting fired. This is a pretty big threat to peace-of-mind, so its worth putting some effort into avoiding it.

> And, even within a town, it's not unusual for streets to change name a couple times in the course of a few miles.

You say that as if it was a bad thing. This idea that a "street" is a line on the map, and whether there is actually asphalt at that spot is yet to be defined -- this is a very strange idea to me. If I get to the right street, I expect to be able to follow it until I get to the correct address. Streets with gaps in them don't work so well for this.

Yes, if the city is laid out in a rectangular grid, that has its advantags, too. But I just want to point out a different way to look at things.

I disagree that parents are passive objects here - it's them who are subjects. They are the camp's customers, and they make decision to choose one camp over another depending on which one has this security and which one doesn't, and they are able to communicate their opinion to the camp's administration.

It's all in the parent's hands, as it should be.

It’s not so much about false conclusions as it is enabling tribalism by helping people avoid opposing viewpoints. It’s certainly a trap I’ve fallen into myself a few times: commenting on the general topic without reading the article and arguing against the usual counterpoint instead of the one that was actually made.

I haven’t come to any firm conclusions on this matter, so I certainly wouldn’t recommend banning or removing summaries yet. I did, however, want to point out a potential downside of them that I hadn’t seen anyone talking about, so that can inform people’s future decisions to write and post such things.
I don't get why we give this so much attention. The authors are clearly kidding, mentally ill, or have a purpose beyond my understanding (this can't be the easiest way to launder money).
If your ideas don't require all that much money then they are easy and obvious. Again, if the "barrier to entry" (to such ideas) is that low then that's not a sustainable business model. Unless. You are confident your "competition" isn't really trying to compete either.

Sustainable means to stay in business. If you're not trying to fend off competition; if you're not trying to grow/expand; then you are waiting to die. Death =/= sustainable.
I might also suggest putting up pictures somewhere that you can use as a conversation piece. I know I like hearing people talk about their DIY projects.
Yeah. To some degree you've replaced the getting published lottery with the getting people to discover your book lottery (though, even with publishers, that lottery always existed). But I'm not convinced that's necessarily a bad thing because authors arguably have more control over the latter. Amazon certainly isn't the only way people discover new authors.

And, truth be told, a lot of publishers today don't do a huge amount of author service, e.g. marketing/PR/etc. especially if they're not a specialty publisher with a built-in readership and channels.

There is still some prestige associated with being published by a known brand. Although one sometimes wonders how much of that incremental prestige is really warranted.
I can agree with your point about the satisfaction, but the other effects of recognition are long lasting; in the long run the "investments" in building up reputation pay off in various ways that make your life and relationships with others easier.

In the long run, a strong reputation (caused by this recongition) generally gives you more influence, flexibility and autonomy; and it's well-researched that those factors improve job satisfaction.
> which are IMO an underrated method of punishing boring play

On the other hand, most games with time limits these days, the time limits drive me away. They can be done well, but IMHO its rare and typically I prefer boring gameplay to being artificially limited by a timer. To me, timers are less fun and an overly long combat slog. Having said that, you can create less artificial-feeling timers, which I'm largely ok with (for example, an NPC buddy's health bar is essentially a timer, although NPC buddies have their own problems).
It was interesting to read how you did a spiking eural network in PyTorch, but it seems your neurons' states are coupled continuously in time, whereas in the brain, it would be the opposite, ie. the spike timing carries information and not the state values.

No.

Not better, more targeted poisons. Just stop poisoning and killing.

Why is it the words of the poisoners are always so positive and optimistic, telling a beneficial tale of forward looking improvement.

The words have been the same since the poisoning started in the 20th century through generation after generation of new better less dangerous poisons.

Your message is this “oh no we’re no working on bad poisons, we’re fixing it, we’re making the good new poisons, the ones that will fix things!”. It’s so easy to see through.

I see through it... it’s just making new poisons to kill things. And the sales and justifications go on and on.

Stop it. Stop selling stories of why your poison is a good poison.
A lot of this advice is unrealistic.

What did you think was anti-Amazon in this article? That Amazon has its own agenda as a publisher? Of course they do.

> brain simply memorizes an awful lot which must work by a different mechanism besides backprop because backprop cannot do one-shot learning

If you look through a neuroscience textbook section on memory systems, it's commonly suggested that the hippocampus does the one shot learning and transfers that over time to the cortex. This is backed up by clinical case studies.

> The brain basically outsources the problem of tunneling through large discontinuities, to cultural/individual trial-and-error and episodic memory

That seems like a good strategy. It also reminds me of AlphaGo's Monte Carlo search + neural network training setup. Since the search is non differential, you do lots of simulations and apply a differentiable DL model to the results to approximate a possibly discontinuous landscape
Having used both, Coq proof terms aren't Agda proof terms. Coq provides neither "real" dependent pattern matching nor edit-time tactics. Long-term, the vision in Agda would be to support metaprogramming closer to what you do in FP languages. But even now, there are domains where Agda is competitive (tho they seem to be in mechanizing mathematical theories, as in, things designed by mathematicians to be compact). To prove software correct, you'll likely end up with with proofs you'll want to automate.

Regarding compatibility: neither Coq nor Agda used to have much of it; nowadays Coq is maintained together with a large set of community projects, and code is much more stable. Still tons to do.

I guess you weren't a Blizzard fan as you're omitting Diablo, Diablo 2, Warcraft, Warcraft 2. You're even not mentioning Dune 2, the godfather of RTS. Warcraft was arguably better than C&C.

I don't see Wolf3D on your list, nor Doom / Doom 2. Single-player wise these were state of the art. You could also play co-op via LPT1. Also, Quake 2 + Lithium mod was my first and most remembering online FPS. Although team-play wise, it is the HL mod Counter-Strike.

Last time I checked, Amazon was essentially forcing you to sell your 1000 page years of work e-book for $9.99 or less, taking "only" 35% of the price sale (used to be 30% a couple of years ago).

If you want to sell it above $10, then their commission becomes 70%!

Also, if your ebook is not exclusive to Amazon, then you don't get access to important marketing tools (KDP program) like free promotions, which are essential to build up social proof and get initial reviews.

Without a prior audience and without those tools your ebook is dead on arrival.

If this is not a horrific monopoly and flat ou author extortion, then I don't know what is. $9.99 is just too low, many books are worth more than that.

Also, they will send emails to your readers suggesting ebooks from competing authors. I think the Amazon stranglehold on authors is preventing a lot of books from even being written, as the authors know that they won't be able to make a living ou of them.

For technical and instructional books, self-publishing is a much better option, with organic marketing done via blogging. You can sell the ebook for say $49, get the whole price sale and the customer email.

>If I get to the right street, I expect to be able to follow it until I get to the correct address.

Assuming you're on the street in the correct town, sure.

Continuity is actually one of the things that was fixed as part of the whole E911 system in the US. Before that, you would sometimes have streets that, for example, would have two segments that weren't actually connected in the middle. Or you'd have a single named road with a T shape or some other layout that meant you couldn't just follow it from one end to the other.

You also, as someone else mentioned, used to have houses with rural route numbers (I grew up on one) that didn't have a street address at all. In our case, our town address didn't even correspond to where we were located because it was the adjacent town that did the RR deliveries.
Nobody specifically but it's not the wrong goal. Remember that "zombie companies" that don't make sense anymore but the state won't let die is a typical sign of a sclerotic Communist economy. At some point the existence of a company has to be a means not an end, so what is the end? Shareholder value. Because that's what ultimately means a company had positive return on investment and that is the closest signal we have to "doing something useful".

But, again, Commodore refused to market it is a "serious" computer (while the platform may have arguably been superior to the IBM PC.)

I wouldn't call them 'bizarre', just different.
You already mentioned the ordering thing. What's also quite different is that in Europe street numbers are usually consecutive while in the US you usually use the top digits for the block number and the bottom digit for the number in the block. That's why you barely see street numbers over 2 digits in Europe while they're usually 4 digits even for small streets in the US.

I guess the American system has its advantages when you split up properties. In Europe you sometimes end up with numbers like 12A, 12B etc. that way.

Same with neonics, we sprayed too much and the insect populations shrunk too much and will not revive quickly since the poison is still in plants and soil.

The obvious thing is that industries work for profit and have no sympathy with insects or the health of individuals and that we are unable to regulate industries in a proper way.
