First up, it'll help me to verify your position regarding a correlation between high-IQ and autism symptoms.

In my searching I found this 2018 tweet that indicates you accept it: https://twitter.com/gwern/status/1011605899469783042

Do you still stand by that position?

That aside, to correct the record:

- Yes, of course I know about the hygiene hypothesis and have done for decades, since well before I developed an interest in the field. And yes, I've heard about these kinds of theories about myopia. But, setting aside that plausible alternative hypotheses are easily found, what I was asking for something less hand-wavy than "probably" to explain away the finding.

- I haven't claimed, and have never believed, that there is a negative correlation between IQ/cognitive ability and physiological health. A positive correlation within the normal range of both is to be expected, and is central to my understanding and experimentation.

- I find the study and other article I shared moderately useful, not because of anything they prove - of course they don't conclusively prove anything - but for what they suggest, and for they way they align with what we see in nature: that extreme specialisation on one dimension is generally related to or co-existent with weaknesses or impairments in other dimensions.

Such a specialisation is unlikely to enhance overall life outcomes or evolutionary fitness, which is exactly what we see in society, where other aptitudes like social skills, leadership abilities and physical/physiological qualities are vitally important.

For what it's worth, I note in your writings, your mentions of the effects on IQ of lead and iodine, both of which are very much part of my understanding of the topic, so it seems we're not completely out of sync.

I think the 5G fight is symbolic in the sense of losing face. From the article:” as noted in this (paywalled) Financial Times article:

As an icebreaker, [telecommunication operators] were asked if they thought the Chinese could eavesdrop through “backdoors” in Huawei equipment. Every single hand went up. One of the bankers then asked, for balance, if they thought the US could access communications through key Cisco equipment. “All the hands went straight back up without hesitation””

> I don't know, I feel like Node.js has a fairly full-featured and useful standard library?

IMO not really. We have many Java and JS projects where I work, I can't find a single Java project that has bigger dependencies than even our smallest JS project, or even an empty "create react app". One of our Java projects is 200k+ lines and still has smaller dependencies than create react app or a empty project created with angular cli.

In JS, it's normal to pull in 500+ libraries and this is only because the standard library is so lacking. Our Java projects, even massive ones, pull in less than 100.

In Java you also have Guava and Apache Commons. Those cover about 95% of data structure needs for a project not covered by the JVM. JS has nothing comparable.

People lament about how "big" the JVM is, but you trade complexity of the VM for complexity of your own app. In practice Java projects are smaller and use less space and memory because your dependencies aren't using 10 different libraries to pad whitespace.

This also makes it much easier to mentally transition between Java projects. If they were built in the last decade, they're probably using the standard library, Guava/Commons, hibernate, and some HTTP interface. I can move between Java projects at work no problem, but if it's Node or front-end 90% of the time I'm going to spend a few days learning a new framework to get anything done.

Small standard libraries are very harmful to the ecosystem. I hope to God they do it right with Deno, batteries included like Python and Java

Garageband benefitted from many features of Apple's professional 'Logic' DAW. In/around 2005-6 they released a series of sample disks called 'Garageband Jam Paks'. Each included GBs of samples, 'Apple loops' and dozens of software instruments (several excellent). There are 2 disks for Symphonic inst's alone. Few if any soundfonts could compete. And that was 15 years ago (!)

On the negative side, GB didn't support MIDI-out. It was hobbled, like the budget version of Logic. But, then, there's always Logic (now at 1/5 of the price).

> ...or what you personally learned in college

I went to a bad No-Name University for undergraduate and then Top Tier University for phd school, so I have an unusually representative view here.

I do agree that, for CS, the no-name university was... bad. Fortunately, I realized this early and did a lot of self-study. I probably learned more reading taocp and going through MIT open courseware courses in the library during the evenings than I learned in my actual undergraduate courses.

The mathematics courses, even at No Name, definitely provided me with a better education than I could have ever gotten on my own. I'm pretty bad at math, it was my worst subject in high school. So I double-majored in it during undergraduate. This dovetails with your advice to use university as a time to learn things you already tried and failed to learn on your own, or which you otherwise know will be difficult to learn on your own.

The CS education that undergraduates get at Top Tier University is far better than what I got, even though I worked through that Top Tier University's online courseware/lecture notes/exercises during undergraduate on my own.

My hot take: college is always worth it, but only if you intentionally invest in "leveling-up" past your previous potential.

That will happen almost by default at Top Tier unless you're a genius (...but you'll pay a lot for it). But not if you're going to university at No Name. So, in that case, students should definitely a) minor or even double-major in something they're not good at, and b) heavily supplement their CS courses during evenings/weekends.

Also, this is all highly specific to very self-motivated learners -- the sort for whom "self-taught" is a reasonable route. I'm one of those people. Over time, I've realized that we're a very small minority. Our perceptions of what others are capable of learning on their own, and prescriptions for how others should learn, are typically quite warped. Most people probably do need something like a 4 year college degree to become a competent programmer.

I think your post is a good way to split up some of the ideas in the article.

I really think #2 is a good point, but I get frustrated at many arguments for #1. People are emotional beings and will seek out fights, but that doesn't mean all fights are arbitrary. People that talk too long about the Culture War on a meta level, without ever considering specifics and painting it all as pointlessly arbitrary, strike me like "both sides are the same"-type centrists, lacking any interesting positions or even understanding, and are just focused on feeling superior to both sides.

Maybe the issue is I see concerns that we can address bigotry in media and harassment in other environments as the core of the "Culture War", and the worst instances of "cancel culture"[0] as weird outliers to it that can be fixed, but some others think of the worst instances of cancel culture as what the Culture War is about, and the saner conversations are weird unimportant outliers. But as long as we're taking the hundred-foot view of talking vaguely about "Culture War" and treating it as arbitrary arguments, we're not going to realize we're not even talking about the same thing, and it's just posturing around how we already felt about the phrase.

[0] When I refer to the worst instances of cancel culture, I'm not referring to cases of celebrities just not getting renewed after publicly being bigots, but the cases where the backlash gets personal and mismatched for the issue. ContraPoint's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjMPJVmXxV8 talks about the sort of thing I'm referring to.

> salaries for people who know kdb+

If you are suggestingn that kdb+ salaries are extremely high, like I often read here, I disagree. I did some research in this area, and despite the rumors, found lots of kbd+ jobs posted with very mediocre salaries. It seems unlikely that such jobs would been filled if salaries are as high as people have suggested on HN.

For example, here's a senior kbd+ deb job in Manhattan (high cost of living) that pays 165-185,000/year. I make almost that much as a senior dev in a low cost of living area. I'd expect to make at least $250,000/year in NYC or California.
Looks neat but would be great if you expanded internationally. We're in the Philippines and going to South Korea in a couple of months and there's no options in either country.
> crafting software

That’s an optimistic assessment of what Epic does.
> Absolutely nothing you learn in a college education you can't learn yourself for free on the internet.

This is categorically false. Face-to-face time with an expert is incredibly valuable and incredibly expensive outside of an academic setting. In fairness, you have to show some initiative in college to get quality face-to-face time with a professor, but it still takes a lot less motivation than self-studying a complex subject for a nontrivial amount of time.

Which brings me to my second point. There's an enormous amount of free stuff you could learn from. But actually doing it is a completely different matter and the overwhelming majority will fail. For instance, the bulk of a university-level education in pure mathematics is over a century old, and free resources are easy to find. With stackexchange, you can even get expert feedback on your work! Yet most people who try (who are already a very self-selected sample) do not in fact succeed in teaching themselves undergraduate level mathematics. Even Ph.D. students taking a few years off for whatever reason find it highly (but not impossibly) difficult to do any significant amount of self-study for a prolonged period of time. And these are precisely the people who are training to become independent researchers!
Miscarriage probability is higher than people who never see the statistics guessed, even for the people with the best age and other conditions(>10%).

Also it is said early occult miscarriage rate is 40%. It's early because less than 1 week, it's occult because we don't realize it, no sign of pregnancy, so we can't observe it most of the time.

The book I'm currently reading(The Vital Question) said that miscarriage rate is high because zygote dies in case of inefficient mitonuclear match, filtering the bad fits.

A lot of it does depend on the organization you're working with, as some are more dysfunctional than others when it comes to setting up best practices and build for their physicians. Others actually listen to their clinical users and tailor the system for them.

Hm, so they would like podcasts to be considered fake news or at least cancelable. As their opening example of problems they cite a podcast which they claim committed plagiarism because the host rehashed her own series of articles on a topic. Is copying from yourself plagiarism? I can see why the fans are skeptical on this claim.

Then they mention the same podcast (I guess they don't have too many examples) failed to cite three sources.

Failed to cite their sources? I wish they would cite their sources but failure to cite puts them in the same bucket as articles published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Atlantic Monthly, etc etc etc, pretty much ALL news media fails to cite their sources. That annoys me. But saying podcasts are bad for not citing sources while not saying anything about major print media is absurd.

one of the reasons i gave up on DEs and now run only a tiling WM setup on a releaseless distro were the weirdly subtle changes and/or bugs associated with new releases, often changing GNOME in some form or fashion. KDE may fare better here, i am not sure.

in effect i have what i think you want, which is a way to bootstrap a new desktop/laptop based on a script (read: from a flash drive with minimal setup). however it is not as clean as what i see Nix offers. but, i don't have to worry about some "release" completely goofying up my setup. so it is nicely stable and deterministic to that extent.

I’ve recently experienced two hospitals’ EMR systems (one using Epic, the other Cerner) from the patient’s perspective. Integrating/accessing my data from external systems (in my case Apple Health) is roughly equivalent–the important things are (mostly) there like test results, procedures, medications, etc; they just do some things differently that are annoying:

* The Cerner hospital will duplicate medications for a single visit. It also classifies a bunch of vital signs as lab test results, so things like blood pressure don’t get merged in with other sources of data.

* The Epic system seems to use more recent/complex FHIR structures, so occasionally there’ll be more info in the raw data (this is more a knock on Apple Health though).

The Epic system has a big advantage with MyChart though. It’s their app and website for accessing your records at various hospitals. Through the app you can get push notifications of test results and schedule procedures. The latter was nice as I’d get roughly 15-30 minutes of advance notice before having a procedure done. The discharge instructions being made available in the app is also very helpful. Finally, being able to browse the raw clinical notes through the website, and request a dump of all of my data is appreciated.
File descriptors are held in type int in most APIs, which is only 32 bits wide even in 64-bit systems.
My favorite so far, honestly, are the old military systems, CoPath and CHCS, with a terminal interface running on OpenVMS. They have are lightening fast to use for anyone who is actually in the business of getting things done (new users are sad for a couple weeks, but experienced hands are fast. Lots of keyboard shortcuts) and easy to pull data from when it comes to research.

You... might want to talk to women who lived through that time. Who got to suffer through major assholery during the 60's, where really, a woman's role was to shut the fuck up and provide sex. Who could be excluded from jobs just because they were women until 1968. Who until 1972 just magically couldn't become CEO of a large company. Who until 1974 couldn't get a credit without a man co-signing. Who until 1978 could be fired for being pregnant.

It's almost like some of us still remember, and that's why we bring drama when some people would like to sweep all that under the rug - and ideally wind the clock back while being at it.
As a semantic architect, this is not my experience. In fact, I see very few large graphs in the wild. The problem is, unsurprisingly, that describing data is difficult. Relating your own conceptualization of a domain to anothers is frustrating and time consuming. It will always be easier to create a bespoke model. So, people just don't do it.
As for OBO, there are many interesting comments here. The OBO ontologies all utilize BFO as an upper-level and in this regard they are united. But otherwise, their quality and utility varies tremendously.
I still believe in this work and hope that one day everyone will think about their data as being longer-lived and more important than the software that generated it.
One trick might be to just put a 10% higher price within the app, and lower off app. Consumers will think it's a mistake and spread the word. You can also send them an email telling them that they get a discount if they subscribe now.

On the other hand, some people prefer to pay within app. I don't trust many subscription services to be responsible with my credit card information, but Apple/Google have proven to have consumer protection. So you should probably do both.
1. A secure environment. You must authorize access to libraries like the file system or network interface. By preventing access by default you can write systems automation that is arbitrary computation resident in memory not intentionally leaking outside the computer.

2. Management sanity. Deno is written in TypeScript, so it doesn't need something like @types/node to interface with TypeScript the way Node does. This is rarely problematic, but when it does come up its painful. For example in Node the http response type is http.incomingMessage. The port number of the originating server is in there at response.socket.server.port, but @types/node currently thinks response.socket is typed to net.socket which doesn't have a server property and so you get a compile error.

3. Distribution sanity. If you download the @angular/cli framework from NPM it is, at this time, 250 NPM dependencies and 26.6mb for just the CLI interface. The full framework is closer to 90mb and 1140 NPM dependencies. That is insanity. The Node binary plus installer for Windows is only 18.6mb. Deno wants to solve this by wrapping a project into a single archive for package distribution. Hopefully, that will result in smaller packages where dependencies are fewer and intentional instead of the nonsense of stuff like NPM or Maven.

4. ES Modules are a very nice way to manage and organize code. I am using them now with a large Node project I am writing without Node's silly conventions for ES modules. In Node ES modules are experimental and there are virtually no dependencies available that are exclusively using ES modules and feature a TypeScript types library in Node, so if you go down that path you must be dedicated.
