For anyone interested, I think this is the section about stifling discussion, in his introduction to Discourse:
https://blog.codinghorror.com/civilized-discourse-constructi...

At Stack Exchange, one of the tricky things we learned about Q&A is that if your goal is to have an excellent signal to noise ratio, you must suppress discussion. Stack Exchange only supports the absolute minimum amount of discussion necessary to produce great questions and great answers. That's why answers get constantly re-ordered by votes, that's why comments have limited formatting and length and only a few display, and so forth. Almost every design decision we made was informed by our desire to push discussion down, to inhibit it in every way we could. Spare us the long-winded diatribe, just answer the damn question already.

IDK, seems like Jeff Atwood no longer has much interest in SE and presumably the site is slowly imploding.
It is true that Gerard 't Hooft, the most famous
proponent of superdeterminism is an asymptotic quantum supremacy skeptic, but I don't think superdeterminism implies no quantum supremacy. I'm a fan of superdeterminism, but I consider it to be in a pre-interpretation level of maturity, where the idea isn't even completely fleshed out. I hope that some day it can be turned into a proper interpretation like Many-Worlds and QBism, and at that point it will give all the standard predictions of QM, including the possibility of quantum supremacy.

This is a great point - “horses for courses.”

The interesting thing about our industry is that give it 10 years and your Toyota will get you and 150 of your friends from LA to NYC in 5 hours.

If you stuck with Rails and Postgres for the past 10 years, your “solution power” has probably expanded nearly 10x due to improvements in the hardware and software ecosystems. That’s just one example - pick your stack and the statement probably applies.
Wouldn't this idea support the idea that the appreciation of the yen made these industries uncompetitive in the global market? Foreign production would be more likely dealing in foreign currency, shielding them from shocks to the yen.
This is what really irritates me about moderating in general. The whole thing is an exercise in power tripping. Considering whether a decision was misguided is forbidden. You must always be dictator. Mistakes are never made.
Well, for starters:

- The moderator in question still wasn't told what they were sacked for.

- There was no warning, no attempt at allowing betterment, nothing. Established procedure was not followed.

- The moderator in question was not even informed of being let go - they noticed it incidentally while performing their duties.

- They were "terminated" on a Friday, right before a major religious holiday requiring their absence online. The "apology" partially acknowledges this in an incredibly dehumanizing way ("ship on a Friday").

> Toasters do not all "work well enough". Shout if you have a toaster that you bought less than 5 years ago, that is still working. I think they're supposed to start failing after a year or two.

> [Edit: if it's older than ten years, say how old - they made them better back in the olden daze]

> These devices are sold for ten euros/dollars, or so. You really can't do good product design to that sort of price point. People expect to have to "recycle" them.

> I bought a toaster for which you can order replacement heater elements, or a new timer. You can dismantle it and reassemble it with a normal electrician's screwdriver. The timer is clockwork. The whole thing's very steampunk.

> It cost about 8 times as much as a "disposable" toaster. I don't know if it was a good deal; I'll tell you in a few decades. But if I don't have to bother with replacing it, from my POV that will be money well-spent; I'm sick of replacing stuff that should still be working. I'm sick of "hardware" that's really made of tissue-paper. And I'm sick of furniture that's made of wood-chips.

It was the same this year, there were reports in the media questioning the efficacy of the 2019 vaccination due to mutation.

Anecdotally, there did seem to be a very large number of sick people around this year (even now, in spring) although I’m sure 99% of the cases weren’t flu proper.

They are used for intimidation primarily. If you are being interrogated by a police officer and gullible enough to believe in polygraphs then you are more likely to tell the truth.

However, I bet the effect wears off after the first interrogation because you lose that last ounce of doubt "what if it works".

Nonsense. Did you ever see an i-device get cheaper? Or a cheap car get even cheaper? There is a reason why wealth inequality has grown in recent decades, while manufacturing efficiencies increased.
It's possible to have sandboxing and convenience. Programs just need to change the apis they use.

> being harassed and not being accepted as they are

Could you elaborate?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. If it looks like a male, dresses like a male, then it's most likely a male and I'm gonna call him "he" because that's the logical thing to do. I don't think it's wrong nor there is any malicious intent for people to use these basic heuristics when determining gender considering they are going to be right 99% of the time, and it would be a big downgrade in productivity if we start wasting time debating whether someone is a he or a she while these heuristics worked for centuries and still work 99% of the time.

Otherwise, where do we draw the line? It's male and female today, how long is it going to be before someone shows up and decides that none of those apply to him and he wants to be accepted as a solar panel - should everyone accept, embrace & encourage his twisted view of reality?
I think this logic is hilarious.

Related to binning, in the 1960s a lot of small piston airplanes used automotive parts (window latches and voltage regulators on my first airplane came from the Ford supply chain) because of the greater volume there.

Voltage regulator was literally the same part. Ford specified statistical process control and sampling inspection was good enough. Cessna demanded that every voltage regulator be tested.

Solution: run the line, test the percentage of parts Ford demanded, stamp the additionally inspected parts with an additional Cessna part number. At the end of the line, if more parts were tested than Cessna needed, so what? Put 'em in a Ford box and ship 'em.

Cessna and Ford each got what they needed, far more cheaply than they could have individually.
Agreed. This is how we use the term in political science anyway. Even if an "extreme" opinion becomes majoritary, it remains just as extreme on a supposed "spectrum" of possibles. "More" than "extreme" usually takes you off-spectrum, e.g. anarchy (which is often considered beyond extreme right, at least in Europe) or "hive mind" would fit beyond extreme left ideas of collectivism (a sci-fi concept of unified minds and thinking, like colonies of ants but next level. lol.) Both are off the political spectrum though, can't describe them using the same elements.

Reality is obviously much more "blurry". Most political experts would argue (rightfully so, imho) that most "extreme" views are in fact not "left" or "right" of moderate ones; they sit in a different "plane" so to speak, a third space distinct from left/right (you'd indeed find a lot of right-ish and left-ish ideas mixed in with most "extreme" ideologies; you also find lots of moderate and extreme views in otherwise 'normal' (statistically) parties).

Left/right itself, or moderate/extreme, are also pretty poor and unsubstantial ways to define any idea or anyone, it's a poor man's shortcut to summarize a context, not ideas themselves. Most people today would sit far left of anyone in past history, for instance, while being much more individualistic at the same time.

Reality is complex. The media don't like complex (is media plural? shall I call it something else in pronoun?). Hence, theatric storytelling of the left versus the right, and/or moderates vs. extremes, iced with a general misunderstanding of statistics. I will now refrain from making any conclusion.

Audis, especially Quattros, are an expensive nuisance to maintain.

The first step of anything to do with the engine compartment is "remove front of car".

They don't optimize the layout one bit for minimizing cost/maximizing ease of maintenance. I have a friend with an RS6 that sat unused for years because it needed some cam sensor or actuator thingy serviced to idle right and pass smog, to do the job required pulling the engine due to packaging constraints. A job like that isn't just expensive, it requires finding a mechanic you actually trust to do the invasive job properly, unless you can DIY.

I'm a DIY type, and that has me firmly in the domain of mass-produced Japanese economy-sports cars. They're an absolute dream to work on. I can change the timing belt on my current car without even jacking it up off the ground let alone tearing the front of the car off, using nothing but a few hand tools.
Strange you chose something that is essentially a luxury item instead of commodity electronics that are cheaper than ever.
Note the intervention to prime a desired response to difficulty.

With active learning, it's clear that early description of the approach, its effectiveness, and that it often doesn't feel like that, improves student approval, and outcomes(IIRC).

With 'belonging interventions', priming at-risk freshman with a narrative of "everyone here struggles - you get help, work hard, and succeed" inoculates against a narrative of "I'm struggling - they made a mistake admitting me - I clearly don't belong here", flipping a feedback loop of (not)forming academic and emotional support networks and (not)seeking help, and (not)succeeding.

One fun corner of medical reform involves medical interventions that are cheap, easy, with little downside, large upside, and no disagreement that they should happen. And still often don't. Promptly getting aspirin when presenting to the ER with heart pain, I recall as an example. It's been a long-term process improvement struggle that the profession has been pursuing for decades now.

One reflection of the state of education process improvement, is that this is barely even a conversation yet. And perhaps something personalized semi-automated teaching can help with. Everyone gets an intervention 'punch list'.

For example, checking and rechecking that everyone, but especially students from no-previous-college families, has an "education is something I create for myself with help" model, instead of a "education is something the teacher does to me" model, seems something we might actually do, to great effect.
Wanted to say this as well.

Transferring money across borders has already been mostly disrupted by Tansferwise. Fees for that are about 10% of what WU charges. Granted there is still some room for improvement there since 1. Transferwise uses ACH so it takes a couple days and 2. Not everyone in poorer counties has easy access to a bank account or even a bank (with WU you can literally set up a stall on the side of the road and people can send and receive money).

I think 1 and 2 could still be solved with traditional fiat since there’s not a hard requirement that ACH needs to be used. The fees are low enough with Transferwise that it’s probably not too much of a blocker for people to pay them.
So in this metaphor, the "Extended Church-Turing Hypothesis" is the belief that there is no haybale?

What do you mean by “matching”? The bullish take is just a different take that presumably must develop answers to the points of this post to remain a viable belief option.

It actually strikes me somewhat as editorializing to place this link here with the wording you chose.

If anything in your linked discussion actually addresses the substantive points of this post, why not link to those items specifically? What would a generic link to discussion on it that’s not tied to this post’s claims be contributing? Why would it matter if that post was “bullish”? If it adds some context related to this post, what is that context?

Every time I see a multirotor carrying people, I think of the many times while building them at the beginning of the drone renaissance that I saw 4/6/8 bladed multirotors have an AP failure, a blade break, a speed controller overheat, etc etc and it fell out of the sky, literally.

More importantly, it may be that the cost of a QC implementation for an algorithm is lower, even if there’s no quantum supremacy. As an analogy, consider the case of comparing a tape computer to a RAM computer: they’re both classical, but the RAM computer is vastly faster.
Right, which is the kind of response I'd expect from a site like stack exchange.
Learning to "do it right" in a simpler setting is how we learn to apply the lesson in the real world. It's a lot more mental effort, at first, to write a program this way. But over time, the exercise pays off and you find it natural to write more readable, correct, performant, etc. code as a result. Appropriate laziness is good engineering, but subject mastery comes from avoiding laziness and intentionally practicing. The trick is to figure out how much of this intentional practice you can get away with on the job ;)
I personally know people considering a mid tier Honda Accord vs the base model 3. The numbers they have run provide similar lifetime costs, though clearly many early adopters are less price conscious. Historically, Tesla was not going to make a base model when their was more profit from manufacturing a more expensive car.

Back to that IC engine “With a mild tune” is an issue. You can get reasonable performance on a tiny hatchback with the stock 149 bhp EA888 but that’s not going to cut it on a midsized sedan. Want more performance from the same basic hardware and you will make some real sacrifices, weight, fuel economy, engine life, etc one or more things need to give.

Pretending otherwise is to suggest vast numbers of automotive designers are idiots.
I also came here to say that. This is basically free money. Although, you might have a hard time navigating around a city without modern navigation tools like Uber, Lyft and Google Maps.
