I see it as part of a general trend whereby Apple are locking down macOS and making it more akin to iOS.

Think System Integrity Protection (SIP), the read-only system volume introduced in Catalina, etc.

All good for security and your typical macOS user. That these changes are also frustrating for hackers is just a side-effect they are willing to accept.

It's less of a "do not have internal monologue" as experience them differently to those who have a stream of consciousness. Personally, I experience consciousness internally as a bunch of concepts and ideas, rather than actual verbose language. It doesn't proclude the generation of ideas or so on, and I definitely don't struggle with speaking.
Welcome to Android.
Things are starting to look pretty scary in Germany with the CDU coming out and defending their decision on this. The fascists have gained enough political control that the major conservative party is now starting to depend on their votes in parliament. There's a pertinent quote that made the rounds in german media yesterday:

"Den größten Erfolg erzielten wir in Thüringen. Dort sind wir heute wirklich die ausschlaggebende Partei. [...] Die Parteien in Thüringen, die bisher die Regierung bildeten, vermögen ohne unsere Mitwirkung keine Majorität aufzubringen." A. Hitler, 02.02.1930
Do you have practical experience rewriting those kind of legacy systems ?

Because my personnal intuition would be that trying to do both a revamp of the process, as well as performing the technical migration is the actual recipe for disaster.

I would do the migration while remaining a close as possible to the original system (removing the obvious unused functions), and only then start transforming the business process.
This shouldn't be here. But it's very entertaining right now. See this twitter post by Ramelow himself: https://twitter.com/bodoramelow/status/1225184119916826624 or Angela Merkel who literally said the election should be reverted. We have the bestest democracy :D

I’m not convinced that would work. If the problem is the quality of the review it seems like the reviewers need more vetting, not less. I could see the HN version devolving into a lot of wasted effort responding. It would be even worse if it was allowed to be anonymous.

If it wasn’t anonymous and the reviewers were vetted with respect to the field they were commenting on, it might work

> This alienates the productivity seeker, because not many people who are not productive currently can imagine becoming innately productive people. So in turn they seek help from people who are not "innately productive", and instead have recently developed some kind of conscious system to deal with productivity. Which is a fragile approach.

But isn't it the only approach if you want to find that custom tuned productivity system that is right for yourself? Trial and error, listening to young people who might not have "gotten it" but might have discovered one missing nugget that will get you over your next personal threshold? Isn't a more fragile approach to look at a persons age and say "I'm older than x so I have nothing to learn from this young one with their silly conscious system".

> Lot's of ways - just look at the job pages of Cancer institutes/hospitals, Universities and research institutes or biotech/pharma companies.

I'd be slightly weary of putting "pharma companies" in the same list, or at least not without the following warning:

Pharma companies are still companies. That means: research will be often killed because it's not in the company's financial interest to pursue it further: if your drug is better but the market for it is small, your drug won't make it. It is not unheard for a company's plan for cancer to be "we'll wait until someone else does it and then we'll buy them".

Pharma companies still fund their own research, and they are still putting out new, more effective drugs in the market. They probably pay better, too. But if you're making a career change because you're idealistic about "making the world a better place", a pharma company might not be the best move.
The points were good, especially the one about writing a lot of code then wasting time trying to find the bug. I've actually seen people work like that and it drives me nuts.

> We're getting to the point where there really has to be a financial incentive to do a peer review

IMHO, a free book is an insulting and scientists shouldn't accept to do this work for commercial publishers for free to begin with.

I know many people feel it's their responsibility to provide "services to the community" which is great, but it's ridiculous that commercial publishers get to profit from this when they proceed to claim ownership of academic work and hide it from the public behind a paywall.

If they want to make money off research, fine. But reviewing costs time and money. Academic publishing may well turn out to be not so profitable anymore if reviewers have to be paid. Maybe then we can finally move to university-hosted open-access publishing.
Thanks, that was very interesting. I must read up more on this. Frankly I had never imagined such a radical approach.

I never had any intention of unschooling my children. I would have home schooled them essentially. I would have tried to reach minimums on a curriculum but I would have tried to use more of my own material and a more play oriented approach.

I also likely would have wanted my kids to occasionally attend school just for the socializing aspect and getting accustomed to the rules and rigidity of the school system, simply because it cannot be avoided later in life.

However the link you provided gives food for thought. I had not expected such a radial approach to work. Or at least I don't think it necessarily works in general. I think it depends a lot on parents.

A play oriented type of education is hard. It requires creativity and work on part of the parent.

If I compare my kids with many others e.g, many think that they do well in school because we are very serious about school work. We are not. The main difference as I see it is that we engage the curiosity and creativity of the children more. When my kids ask a question about something. They tend to get quite a long and detailed answer. I also try to make it somewhat entertaining. Not always easy. I try to find fun analogies related to things I know they like.

Far too many parents have the attitude of: "Oh don't worry about that," "that is for grown ups dear," "that is too complicated for a child to understand" etc. I don't think I have ever told my kids that something is too difficult for them so don't even ask. I always try to give some kind of answer to every question. Of course you have to point out that it is a simplification, and as they get older you can give a better explanation.

We also try to push the envelope more. We care more about what is fun than what is age appropriate. Our kids always had building toys and board games way ahead of their age. We did not care about that. It was more important if they enjoyed it. If we had e.g. a too advanced board game with a theme they liked, we just simplified the rules. When they grasped simple rules, we expanded the rules.

Massachusetts: A Right to Repair Law Is Closer Than Ever

Frankly, I don't get that outrage. In Germany democracy is in a strange state, for many years, since 2005, two biggest parties formed "grand coalition", so, in practice, in Germany there was no opposition. Imagine Democrats and Republicans forming together government in US.

From my understanding opposition is something very important in democratic system, it servers as a controller of the ruling party and put on it some pressure to do actually something useful.

In addition opposition is something natural, people tend not to agree on everything and should have right to express that, also through democratic system mechanisms.

Since there was no opposition in Germany, it has been created, this was a natural process. The fact that AfD has raised as main opposition force simply tells that ruling parties simply missed something people are afraid of or need. Pointing out failures of the ruling party is the role of the opposition and that happens in Germany now.

Someone might not like AfD (I don't), but it appears it attracted some people, if someone plans to ignore them, this is not a good idea.

Not that long ago someone decided that it is not a problem to ignore humiliated people who came back home from battle fields of I World War straight into poverty, however there was a certain Austrian painter, who managed to attract them very skillfully. The rest of the history is well known.
Look at people's faces: They all look the same, because the AI has interpolated them to be the same. Especially the male faces with moustaches.

An absolutely fair point. I don't actually have much of a bone to pick with anything that's written. It's a decent post.
Men who are ambitious and want to work a lot don't refer to work as "work like a dog". That is expression used by people who are resentful. Even you used that expression to make women working sound undesirable.

And of course, "plenty of men" is massively different then "all men". There are still many men who have jobs they don't like, bosses that hate or who mistreat them and more hours and stress in work that they would like. Other men having jobs they like changes nothing on that.
I'll often just forget my phone in my home office, sometimes for an entire weekend. I've had people ask me if I was unhappy with them because they called and I didn't get back with them immediately.

https://obsproject.com/ is win/linux/mac and really good for this because you have a lot of options for compositing what you want to record e.g. include front-facing camera and mic which can be very revealing about body-language, facial expression and erm.. muttered expletives.

If we were working with a friend and saw the extremes of body-language we sometimes display obliviously when things are not going well, we would instantly recognise them as a cry for help and step in. When alone, we are liable to just dig a deeper hole.

It's unclear what the correct "starting" versions for what are. Specifically, as I've posted in a separate post, there were already more "digital" "restoration" works, and whatever we see on youtube is most probably already processed by somebody and some computers and algorithms, more than once.

And it's most probable that the previous kinds of processing were with bad tools or with some other deficiencies.

The proper path would indeed be somebody hi-res scanning frame by frame, all grain and scratches kept, each frame more than once with different lighting etc, and then starting from there and comparing the "restoration" results, always with the original(s).

Just as an example, a lot of techniques for removing grain remove the existing information. The different lighting scans allow a lot of advanced algorithms to restore what our eyes could discern from the real film but most of the processes remove etc.
Land filling is bad in the context of throwaway consumer goods that are only used once such as a plastic bag or air tight plastic wrapping. There is also the aspect of expensive appliances breaking that are not repairable. They will have to be sent to the landfill early.

If I show you a picture and ask you if its a dog or a cat, you can answer the question, but you can't tell me why. You can make up a story to justify why it's a dog or a cat, but if someone tries to implement the procedure you give, it won't work. If it did, we could do computer vision by implementing your justification.

I can only guess that one has a more verbal or visual imagination depending on his/her development, and it would be interesting if we knew more about the genomic factors taking place in the development of the stream of consciousness. Depending on the context I also have both verbal and visual streams of consciousness. A funny thing is that my verbal mental streams are far more fluid in English, which is not my fully native language, than in Italian. When I write in Italian my imagination is much more visual and less descriptive.
I assume it goes fine in most states. That is not the point. The point is that you simply don't get these stories from other developed countries. While in the US there are stories about election irregularities almost every election.

I saw a documentary about Cory Booker running for Mayor in New Jersey. That was epic in how screwed up it was. I was quite shocked that elections could be so corrupt in a modern democracy.

> The vast majority of electoral voting in the US works basically as intended. Most polling places don’t have long lines except perhaps right when they open because people lined up ahead of time.

Areas with minorities seems to quite frequently have it. Voter suppression is done quite widely in the US judging by reports, statistics and observations.

And lets not forget machine politics. Listen to Richard Ojeda of West Virginia tell how corrupt the whole political process was there. I mean he got physically attacked because he was going up against the establishment.

Of course it does not mean every place in the US is like that. But the frequency of extreme cases points to larger underlying problems.

The problem IMHO is that Americans are so used to this and think it is like that everywhere so they don't see the problem. I have many American friends at home and many tell the same stories about how so many things from home got normalized that they did not realize how screwed up it was until they lived outside the US for an extended period. Unless you lived in different countries you cannot view your own country through an objective lens.
