>>> My theory is that all animals have extensive defense mechanisms to prevent motor entrainment to external stimuli, since that would make one very vulnerable. Therefore, they only exhibit entrainment during ritualized mating, etc.

Wow, seems very reasonable! It made mi think about it in a bit different way: as other animals are thought as "following instinct" and "closer to nature" maybe this inhibition systems are way more advanced in humans than in other animals. It would make explaining dance harder, but would fit great to big literary topos "men vs nature".

Is it completely your theory or was it inspired by something that you could recommend?
The optimizers are much stronger nowadays. They rewrite the program, so that the resulting assembly might have nothing to do with the code you wrote.

Especially if undefined behavior is invalid. Decades ago you did not need to care about undefined behavior. You write a + b, and you know the compiler emits an ADD instruction for +, and that ADD of x86 does not distinguish between signed and unsigned instructions, and you get the same result for signed and unsigned numbers, regardless of overflow. But nowadays the optimizer comes, says, wait, signed overflow is undefined, I will optimize the entire function away.

I'd second that: work in a large company or a startup (if that interests you) in London for a couple of years to learn the ropes and build your career.

There is a significant qualitative difference between ideologues (left or right) and, to use Graham's terminology, 'accidental moderates' or the 'intentional' ones.

Ideologues assume that there is a single version / source of the truth whether it is a religious text, or a secular one (Marx, Hayek, etc). 'Intentional moderates' are not monist (as are idealogues), but to the contrary triangulate. If anything, intentional moderates reject the notion that there is an objective position.

Accidental moderates - idealised - are actually just being reasonable and weighing different considerations, thus arriving at a considered position.

Intentional moderates may not necessarily be cowards. To take an exampe: most people are ignorant of economics and so their position on, say, the interest rate is not an informed one.

Intentional moderates use a centrist heuristic in the belief that the reasonable answer is somewhere between the two extremes. There is nothing wrong with this; one cannot expect voters to be experts or even well informed on all the posible issues of government.
Juggling.

Good for low-level general fitness, balance, coordination, timing, and forming the ice at parties. No upper limit as to accomplishments, but plenty of low hanging fruit.

There are probably 1000 tricks/patterns you can do with just three balls, ranging from easy to professional skill required.

Practising the right thing for five minutes, three times a day, you can become a capable juggler in a couple of weeks, and a decent, impressive juggler in 6 to 12 months, depending on your general coordination. But if you've done a lot of bouldering you can probably learn to juggle three in an afternoon, and get to some interesting patterns in a couple of days.
Yes, it would be possible. Consciousness is emergent, independent of the substratum on which it occurs.

And on the breakthrough technology question: of course we could discover a unknown technology that will instantly solve everything without even having to honor the inertia of the slow but hard to steer forces that make up climate change. And while I really hope this would happen, I'd rather have more realistic scenarios in the meantime.

Suppose we invent free energy. How long will it take for that technology to replace everything on the planet? How much emissions will this distribution of technology produce? Even with fairytale-style-technology overcoming the inertia of the ongoing processes will be anything but easy.
I thought it was because beer was generally sterile but water (in any permanent human settlement) rapidly became infected with all sorts of deadly diseases? So if you drank (admittedly weaker, 1-2%) beer all the time you had a much better chance of surviving because you wouldn't die of disease. China and East Asia missed this since they got into (boiled) tea instead.

> Whereas an accidental moderate's opinions will be scattered over a broad range, but will, like those of the intentional moderate, average to about 50.

I think this describes my own political opinion to a tee. I agree with some stuff on the left, some stuff on the right and the moderate/centrist opinion on some others, and it probably equals out as centrist.

Still, I'm not sure I'd say this is a rare thing by any means. Indeed, I suspect a large percentage (maybe even majority) of the population has beliefs from all sides/corners of the political spectrum.

It's just that the current voting system in places like the US and UK encourages everyone to band with 'one side or the other', and groups a bunch of people/groups that likely disagree in many cases together as one party.

Plus given most people's mixtures of said beliefs are different to others, your average politician/party ends up having to appeal to a certain 'tribe' in order to get elected, since the percentage of people who 100% agree with a certain mix of beliefs is too small to get anyone a majority.
In our current political system the accidental moderate seems left out. How do they choose the right candidate when the campaign system is wholly based on ideology? Sure, accidental moderates may have great opinions, but how does one put those in action in the current political climate within a political framework. They would seem to be best living outside the system, with no label defining the political affiliation or ideology, while the moderate is free to be wooed by the right or left choice of any given election.
I don't think we miss that. We're just paying attention to what that revolution cost us.

Part of the problem is the "winner takes all" dynamic of the computing sector. I'd be fine with simplified interface for children and elderly existing side by side with a properly deep interface for adults in full capacity. But currently, the market can only sustain one of these - and it chooses the one that can support more users, despite the total loss of utility this causes.

Porting an example I use in topics about accessibility: consider Braille. Everyone can learn to read Braille, but blind people can't learn to read regular, printed characters. But we don't try to replace print with Braille, because it would be ridiculously debilitating to the vast majority of the planet's population. We instead opt to run two interfaces side by side - we print both regular and Braille books.
> You can see this with the Republicans who turned into Democrats once the Republicans shifted far enough right that there were no more Rockefeller Republicans and Bill Clinton ran as a Democrat. If you're an accidental moderate, you run the risk of involuntarily changing party affiliation.

I think this is interesting because it's been exactly the opposite for me and many of the people I know. At some point over the past ten or fifteen years, the Democrats switched their focus to the point that we've unintentionally found ourselves being Republican now. I.e. the midwest Trump vote.
OoO execution, virtual memory, simd, virtualization, microcoding, caches, and other features that are claimed to exist to propagate the illusion of a pdp11 they all predate or are contemporary with the creation of C.

Yes, I think many people would say that GPT-2 is not an important contribution to science, and that it rather is the latest focus of industry and lay press hype for machine learning and neural networks. The latest trend, if you will.

Personally, I struggle to see what new thing we learned from GPT-2. Did we learn something about the physical world? About how human minds work? About how language works? It's a language model after all. All we learned is that throwing a large dataset to a hard problem can produce results that are difficult to evaluate.

"Science" means "knowledge". If we haven't learned anything new from GPT-2 then it hasn't contributed to science. It's impressive, like a jetliner is impressive, or an aircraft carrier is impressive, but it's not increasing our body of knowledge about the world and ourselves.

Jamming is not as useful as a targeted attack, so this still seems like a defect in the WiFi spec.

For example, an attacker may wish to keep their network working while disrupting others (there is an example of Marriott hotels doing this linked elsewhere in the comments here).
I'm not convinced there are any intentional moderates. Isn't this just one big straw man? Noticeable lack of specifics, not even historical figures. Honestly it comes off like "I met a guy, didn't like him, I think this is why".

I think there's definitely something to the idea, but I wouldn't carve up the world into These People and Those People. If anything, we're more like calico cats and we all exhibit both behaviors simultaneously. Yes, I think the Overton windows "centers" some of our views, but I can't consciously tell you which ones without thinking about it first.
https://github.com/metacraft-labs/py2nim_deprecated/ sorry, the other repo is part of github.com/metacraft-labs/languist/ now: a more expanded tool which also tries to support ruby etc : (however its also on pause for now) https://metacraft-labs.github.io/fast-rubocop/ruby-kaigi-201...

to be honest: the py2nim original tool was used for some initial transpiling experiments, but i am not sure how much of it ended in the actual codebase, the tech surely has more potential if developed
High DPI support in WinForms is a dogs dinner and it didn't arrive until well after VB6 was dead.
Same. I just find it boring, and all the 'find exercise you like' advice doesn't help as it would be something with even less return on time investment (e.g. group sports). I also wish I could just throw money at it, get augmented or something so I don't have to do it at all. I like doing things with my brain, and for me no sport seems like a novel experience worth spending time on.

That said I still exercise consistently. Basically, since it seems rational: you get more time in return that you spend doing exercise (presumably returns diminish at some point, but that seems to be true for 'reasonable' amount of exercise)?

I'm also treating this as a 'quantified self' project, and collecting/visualising data makes it a bit more enjoyable.

I write a bit more about it here: https://beepb00p.xyz/tags.html#exercise

- Delve more into Python, with emphasis on ML part.

- Pick up some JS, enough to build steady UIs

- Read 20 books during the year.

- Take at least 15 days trip preferably out of country, or in the remote parts locally. Planning to do this at least twice in the year ;)

- Spend more time with the family, take kids out more.
That's awesome, thanks. I'll have a look when I'm next at my mum's house. They've probably got all kinds of rubbish on them, but should definitely have some of my HyperCard creations
Interesting. I alternate periods of good diet to periods of less healthy diet. I have been sleeping less than 6h a day fir for most of my adult life. 6h of sleep for me are ideal. But when I do regular relaxations (20 min) I can easily sleep 4.5h with no problems.

I had periods in the past when I sleep less 3 hours for 5 days and end up "recovering" with a 9h sleep during the weekend. I was not at my best though.

I never noticed any particular patterns between my weight and my sleep.

In the last month though lack of sleep and more carbs seem to start generating joint pains (hopefully it is just temporary).
I was. I remember. I've had the BSOD. But Win95 is not synonymous with it for me.

You can "improve" at "reading books"
1 - Learn fast reading
2 - get classical/sf/hf/polar/etc culture
Most of the books i read gives better knowledge about something (history for example) or makes me more able to handle complex reasoning (philosophical, analytics, etc)
You can definitively improve at reading or read to improve yourself.
I think there is no passion where you cannot improve. And there is always a way to measure it.

Anyway, I find your approach of 'hobbie' a bit strange. I feel like hobbies are something that closely relates to 'you'. I mean, if you like sport, you can go to dance, mma, shooting, trail, basket, hand, etc. Possibilities are endless.
If you like intellectual activities it can goes from video games to engaging in neww studies (physics, neuroscience, etc).
You can go in artistics things like painting/sculpting/photography/street art/...
You can go on blacksmithing/woodturning/jewelery/etc

I think the best question to find your hobbies are: "what do i want to become ? what time do i have?". I know someone who's struggeling with an urge to find something to do after his work an who finds him unable to engage in any activity because he is not driven by wanting to do something for a purpose but just to have an activity. Having commitment for something you do just to makes your life less empty is really hard. It's easier to find hobbies if you have a goal.

I don'y know if it makes any sense to you or even if it's revelant, sorry if it's not the case.

EDIT: just posted on HN : https://idiallo.com/blog/im-bored-what-do-i-do
I pay for a subscription on one news site.

I read dozens of sites, but I’m not going to allow being tracked if I can help it. I also don’t much care whether these sites survive or not, and I absolutely wouldn’t care if they disappeared because people behaved like me (answering no to tracking and/or using ad blockers).

My thinking is that if everyone blocked tracking ads, then money would return to dumb ads (that now aren’t worth anything because of tracking/targeted ads). So I hope that’s the future. If it isn’t then I guess the less optimistic future is that half of all “free” content online disappears while the rest is concentrated in silos like Facebook and YouTube that can ensure eyes on ads. I think both futures are better than the status quo.
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure these are the older Mac disks that aren't compatible with regular floppy drives
I once felt the same way. And maybe in the future I will come around to that way of thinking again.

The problem is not money, per se in my view. I'm coming to believe now though that humans have a baseline of social health in the same way that there is a baseline of physical health - and that baseline health is rather reasonable and flexible. Money correlates somewhat with social health.

If someone heart pounds and they get dizzy whenever they stand up, then something is clearly wrong and they should see a doctor. Normally healthy humans should be able to stand and walk around at least.

Likewise, if someone cannot afford (their society's equivalent of) a pint of beer with friends, it means that something has gone wrong: being able to socialize with friends is the baseline, however socializing is defined in that society. A person unable to afford to socialize is a socially ill person.

There is absolutely nothing morally wrong with being poor just as there is nothing morally wrong with being ill. But it is not baseline. Moving the baseline expectation from "pint of beer" to "playing musical instruments" or "telling entertaining tales" or "making costumes" or "listening warmly" will still mean that some people will still be unable to afford to socialize.

Thanks for linking! There seem to be similarities, but looking (very) briefly at the DolphinScheduler these are the potential differences:

- number of contributors :D

- titanoboa can process even a potentially cyclic graph

- in titanoboa you can write step functions directly in high level programming languages such as clojure and java (so not just bash or python) and deploy them directly during runtime

- the clustering setup in titanoboa is master-less

- titanoboa does not have such direct integration with Spark as it employs some map-reduce patterns internally

But all-in-all I have to say that DolphinScheduler seems quite nice! Also would have to compcomplement it on the nice documentation (again, just briefly skimming through it).

>I'm not convinced there are any intentional moderates.

Well, I know tons of those. People in journalism, and other high profile public related posts, are often such. They don't want to offend any side, and reap the benefits of both. Some politicians are also like that. I know people in media personally who have more extreme positions in private talks, but their public opinions are carefully calculated to advance their career.

>Noticeable lack of specifics, not even historical figures. Honestly it comes off like "I met a guy, didn't like him, I think this is why"

Why do people on HN think everything is a big science paper? The post is observations about society, from someone who has lived in one for 5+ decades and paid some attention. It's not some sociology paper or nation-wide poll results. It's like people can't think without polls and figures, or have relegated their opinions to the "experts" and their stats...
Before the existence of the recipe, skilled practitioners had their own folklore, built from decades or centuries of trial and error and experience. Now, anybody can simply copy a recipe and inherit that experience, no matter how skilled.

It takes skill and/or time and effort to discover a recipe in a field like baking, where the desired chemical reactions are fragile and easy to disrupt. The message of the post is: don't try and discover recipes in difficult fields like baking, unless you know what you're doing.
> OP: In the 20th century, a lot of very smart people were Marxists — just no one who was smart about the subjects Marxism involves.

In 40 years, the USSR, whose economy was about the size of Brazil's in 1917, and who waged a civil war and repelled two waves of invasions (the first of which included an invasion by the USA after WWI) - this country under Stalin had enormous economic growth, to where it could repel an invasion by continental Europe, then launch the first satellite, man on space, moon probe and whatnot. For a country that Lenin considered to be in a holding action waiting for revolution in the west. I find that impressive.

The western anti-Marxists went through an array of nonsense in the 20th century - "The End of History", the idea that Keynesian or monetarist or whatever remedies would smooth out the business cycle.

Marx predicted worsening economic crises like in 2000 or 2008, with accompanying unemployment, overproduction and a falling of profits. Lenin predicted an unquenchable and self-destructive drive for imperialism.
Isn't it possible that by posing a question that supposes the post you're questioning redefines something, you've created a case of the negative type of redefinition you're implying is happening?

I absolutely think that site owners and visitors should not be allowed to enter an agreement where content is provided based on selling PII of the visitor. The reason is simple: the visitor can’t be properly made aware of what they are actually paying. So it should simply be banned. Yes, at the expense of maybe a majority of content online disappearing. And yes at the expense of people who can’t afford to pay for content in cash being denied it entirely.
