WASI – WebAssembly System Interface with Wasmtime
I think the part that makes it genuine is that he was comically self aware of himself and his craziness. Even when he was pushing the boundaries just for the sake of it and to make a caricature / character out of himself, he did it in a way that made me think that he didn't really pretend to not be doing it for his ego.

It's like 4 levels of thinking somehow merged in his actions: 1) be normal and look at the crazy people, 2) be a crazy person, 3) be a crazy person and be aware of your craziness, 4) be a crazy person, be aware of it and let others know that you're aware of it. It feels like one of those thought spirals I go into if I have weed. It's right on the boundary of crazy but probably also (in his case) inside the realm of genius.
Indeed, very cool. I kept thinking that with an Arduino he probably could have build a first prototype with first building a custom circuit. Just nitpicking.
It's great that the representatives from the company sent him the relevant parts of the schematic to help him connect his arm to the interface board. Products aren't often built with accessibility with mind and seeing DIY projects like this inspire better solutions for these groups.

I think the approach you take comes down to your individual characteristics - personality and circumstances - how meek you are, how much you voice your opinion, whether you can risk speaking out or conversely can’t/won’t risk losing or disrupting the steady income stream. In the past i’ve been both of these enployees at different times mostly due to different levels of self confidence and frustration with the company.

But the point about “know where you work before you open your mouth” is wise I think.

Most people consider the likelihood of things actually happening. It is not likely that MI6 are listening to my phone or any of my friend's phones, and even if they were the worst that happens is they hear my boring conversations. So for 99.999% of people the benefit is essentially zero, and the cost is moderately high (having to put your phone in a box all the time).

Consider other things that have a similar cost/benefit ratio that are more obviously mad:

* I could install a 3 metre high wall with razor wire around my house in case the police try to attack me for some reason.

* I could walk everywhere wearing a bicycle helmet in case I fall over.

* I could never use stairs. Only use lifts - they're much safer!

Hopefully it's obvious why those are mad.
China Quarantines Cash to Sanitize Old Bank Notes from Virus
I use https://www.bookfinder.com to search for paper books. Sometimes I dropship them to a scan-service and for 20-30 USD I could get a decent PDF scan of the book.

This has worked very well for older books too. Prices are much better than amazon and you save a book from the landfill.
The fact that only 3 deaths have occurred outside of China (and the vast majority in Wuhan is an important metric in assessing how the virus spreads and how effective or not containment policies have been. There are many, many Chinese people who live outside of China, and emphasizing that the virus is heavily contained in the country of its origin is pretty relevant to anyone who hasn’t visited China recently.

When I got bored with Oxygen Not Included, I switched it into sandbox mode, and played around with the paint brush tools, creating and cooking and freezing different materials, like a KidPix-like radioactive chemistry set, mixing together and juxtapositioning and melting and freezing all the different kinds of solids, liquids, gasses, lava, oil, water, ice, the hard vacuum of space, etc, to see how they all react with each other.

Here's a video Pawsome Gaming made of Sandbox mode, but I went a bit crazier with dangerous combinations of water and lava and other weird materials:

I've found Joy to be a really interesting and useful notation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_(programming_language)
http://joypy.osdn.io/notebooks/index.html

The syntax is enormously simple (the only keywords and '[' and ']' for
quotes), the semantics are elegant, and implementation is trivial[0] It
seems to me to combine the best aspects of Forth and Lisp.

In working with Joy, I've come to suspect that elaborate syntax, and the
parsing thereof, is a kind of MacGuffin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin

> ... a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or
event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters,
but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself.

Also as a layman, my understanding is that simply having only "interesting" results skews the conclusions that can be drawn by meta-analyses. When you look at a bunch of studies and try to learn something from them, you need the inconclusive and negative ones to be included, in order to learn valid things.

By omitting inconclusive or negative results from publication, the whole of science is misled.
https://factoryidle.com/ is another similar game but it's browser based for those who aren't on a platform supported by Factorio.

I agree with much of your observations about the degradation of civilization, but your understanding is flawed. Going back to some caricature of the Victorian area, where everyone is forced by rigid constraints into the same cookie cutter mold, isn't the solution to society's problems, it's the cause of it.

You posted this comment some time ago:

> "My good people, how can I break the endless cycle of mindless mechanical labour that has become the software business and become the consummate professional I've always wanted to be?"

That's a very good question! The question is, what do you think "professionalism" is, exactly? Everyone being forced into bondage-and-discipline compliance? Like the Schutzstaffel officers who patrol this site to quickly and effectively suppress opinions contrary to the group-think, via vigorous use of the ban hammer, resulting in people continually making throwaway accounts and even pushing them from honest commentary toward purposeful trolling, due to their incessantly growing contempt of a society that oppresses their thoughts and opinions and ideas about living? More oppression, more forced compliance to somebody's arbitrary 1950s ideals, is that the answer to solving all of this chaos, you think?

Defining a loss function comes to mind. Checkout JAX[1] or Autograd[2]. As this is essentially a different programming paradigm there are a ton of opportunities, but it is fresh enough such that there is little to no history of software engineering differentiable programs.

It's a little hard to tell what your argument is. You seem to be saying that some people negotiate agreements piecemeal rather than by laying all of their demands on the table at once, which is true, and that this necessarily disadvantages one of the participants in the agreement, which doesn't seem plausible. But I am at a loss to discover either a more plausible meaning in your comment or any way in which this discussion is relevant to the question of whether salary negotiation is zero-sum, negative-sum, or positive-sum.

Twin studies on personality factors[1] find that genetic heritability explains 40-50% of the cross-sectional variance in adults, while the impact of family environment is non-significant. All of those factors you listed show a nearly identical genetic pre-disposition as IQ itself.
