>Is there any form of non linear diagramming you can do on a 2D canvas that can deliver your point better than text?

I could write a JavaScript program just for you, that drew blinking animated sparkly text in a canvas which said "WATCH THE VIDEO I POSTED", but there would still be no point to that, since you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Because if you actually watched the video, you would realize that Viewpoint is all about text. Nobody claimed it was "better than text", or that it was trying to get rid of text. You'd know that if you had watched the video. But you don't know that, so I can conclude that me simply writing text was not enough to get you to watch the video.

>I have an idea about what that would look like and how that would work in terms of maintaining programmer productivity.

That's very nice. And do you know how much that's worth? Nothing. Not only are ideas worthless without an implementation, but also ideas that you haven't even bothered to write down without implementing are worth even less, because they're a waste of everyone's time, and not tempered by reality or experience or empirical testing or iterative design and development or stakeholder requirements or user feedback.

What point is there to telling me that you have an idea about something you haven't implemented, or even written down, or drawn a picture of? Or did you forget to provide a link to your own dissertation, a video, and a runnable demo?

It's much better for you to spend your precious time doing difficult tedious things like writing down and implementing and testing your brilliant ideas yourself, instead of having so much fun talking about how great it would be if only you wrote it down for other people to read, payed somebody on Fiverr to draw a picture of your idea for you, or found some out-of-work but highly skilled programming with nothing better to do, who was willing to pair up with a starry-eyed "idea guy", and work night and day for free, on your sincere verbal promise of equity and exposure, implementing your grandiose but unwritten ideas, in the hopes that you don't get angry at them for not precisely interpreting and efficiently engineering your brilliant vision correctly, or suddenly change your mind once you see what they actually implemented that did not perfectly live up to your idealistic expectations and nebulous handwaving.

Good luck with that! Let me know when it ships.

Correct. Mold will grow where there is food for it to grow, like bread. It will divide and grow exponentially, up to a point. That fact of exponents where they seem slow at first and then really rocket away? That's why mold seems to just appear overnight.

The thing is so wide that light needs to travel 140,000 years (!) to get from one side to the other. That’s just so hard to wrap my head around. I never even really considered that our own galaxy is 100,000 light years across.

Think of all the human history that occurred over 100,000 years — that’s how long it takes for light to go from one side of the Milky Way to another.

Im not an expert on quantum computers but I'm not aware of any applications in the embedded space.

Generally quantum computers are good for three things

* factoring numbers (and other highly related order-finding problems). RIP RSA, but not that applicable outside of crypto.

* unstructured search (brute forcing a problem in only O(sqrt(n)) gueses instead of an average of n/2 gueses). Certainly useful...but its not a big enough speedup to be earth shattering.

* simulating various quantum systems (so scientists can do experiments easier). Probably by far the most useful/practical application in the near/medium term.

There's not a whole lot else they are good for (that we know of, yet)

New hypothesis argues the universe simulates itself into existence
My point was more along the lines of the code bloat that comes from essentially emulating a web browser on system, when in reality you can write much faster code in C/C++ or even C#/Java. But, GUI design for applications can be a nightmare, with QT on the one hand versus fragmented Cocoa/Windows Whatever in C#.

I think Electron was the webdev community's response to this, and we really haven't gotten one on the app/systems developer side besides QT.

Or to rephrase, using Electron to "emulate" a web browser is cross-platform from the perspective of the electron user, while most other gui-ing solutions in C/C++, are not necessarily cross-platform, and therefore this leads to different set of challenges.

How about this reduced thought experiment:

The skateboarding teenager sees a nike bonfire and an adidas bonfire. The nike ads associate enhanced skateboarding with throwing money in the nike bonfire.

How much money should the teenager throw in the fires?

If throwing $50 in the nike fire motivates him to achieve his dreams, then surely it's worth it. How does he know that will happen though? What if after burning the money, he is disappointed by his lack of supernatural enhancement and gives up skateboarding? What if he misses out on the valuable lesson of motivating yourself without burning money first?

What if after burning $50, he achieves minor success and then tries burning $1000? Should he burn additional money monthly or weekly?

How will he know if burning the money actually helped him or if he would have been better off keeping the money?

Any ad can try to associate intangible positive benefits with an arbitrary action, but it doesn't mean there is truly a causation. If you could create causation between arbitrary actions and intangible positive benefits with an ad, wouldn't it be much better to make the action something more productive than burning money?

Agreed. I find it difficult to even ask for a deeper understanding of evolution without first explaining yes, I know basically how DNA works; yes, I understand natural selection; no, I'm not a young-earth creationist. I have a solid grasp of basic biology and genetics and I'd just like to comprehend how randomness can lead to such incredible complexity of organisms within billion-year timescales (and not, say, million-trillion-trillion year timescales).

I feel as though it's simply Occam's Razor to assume that evolutionary complexity is the result of randomness because I know of no better explanation. Is there a self-reinforcing process at play? (Natural selection partially counts as reinforcing, I just feel like randomness is still the engine that powers it).
> you were claiming the source of tax code complexity was from "desire to reward specific behaviors", which it (still) isn't.

Of course it is. The whole point I'm making is that the end result of a system isn't what people asked for at the beginning. It's a result of countless small decisions made by (often) countless people with a wide variety of motivations. The definition of "income" is subjective. Short of a physics simulation, humans are always part of the "inherent domain complexity".

Google tries to filter out misinformation in these categories. The problem is they don't trust forums, smaller sites or keyword match well. So the results become auth content only which only matches the query in the vaguest sense. This pattern continues if you change words.

I absolutely love the gist of the article: interpreting quantitative research is something most of us are fundamentally illiterate on.

That's definitely how I feel about it at least. Others might feel differently.

That said, how does one actual build skills in this area. It feels like the author is able to do this here because it's a research paper in an area they have knowledge in.

How does one build up a general ability to critically evaluate numbers in a case like this? Does one have to know how to go look up formulas?

I recall an article from some time ago where authors released a paper about chocolate and health benefits or something similar but they intentionally gamed the numbers to find something that correlated. The press ate it up before the authors revealed the truth.

How does one go about becoming more literate in evaluating those kinds of papers and conclusions?

I'm willing to put in the time to read carefully and calculate. I just wish I knew what skills to acquire.
Let's go one step higher, keeping track of the state by a state machine. When designing/coding with the correctness on mind, I try to stay focused, and not think of edge cases.

But I do feel time is a limited resource and want to add more value per hour spent working. Maybe, this is more the case of if it can be automated then automate it.

Of course. But how does the doctor know about my problem if I don't ask about it?

There are a lot of people with treatable conditions who have no idea that it's (1) a medical condition and/or (2) now treatable.

These ads will cause some of these people to go get treatment. That's undeniably good. How big that effect is, or if it's outweighed by bad effects, I can't say, of course.

Water pressure (like PSI) and how it relates to water flow (like GPM).

Unfortunately, The Selfish Gene leaves it an open question of how the brain developed its capacity to represent and model the world, which is the very notion of intelligence.

From the book:

> The evolution of the capacity to simulate seems to have culminated in subjective consciousness. Why this should have happened is, to me, the most profound mystery facing modern biology. There is no reason to suppose that electronic computers are conscious when they simulate, although we have to admit that in the future they may become so. Perhaps consciousness arises when the brain's simulation of the world becomes so complete that it must include a model of itself.
You misunderstand. I watched it. I'm talking about information delivered in a serial format. A linear and ordered ingestion of information. I'm not talking about text per se, but the property of text that makes all programs follow a linear order of execution. Viewpoint is anything but.

Viewpoint is all over the place. It's basically a 2D canvas with no order. Sure it has text but that text is used more like a random label with random coordinates. There's no linear process of instructions delivered or ingested. What you see is basically a reactive canvas with arbitrary coordinates.

The universe we live in has a linear one dimensional property that follows the arrow of time. Viewpoint fails to represent this concept symbolically. The process of time, the process of execution. However you choose to represent this concept, all programming languages must have some sort of way of representing time as a spacial dimension. For text it is left to right, top to bottom reading order, for viewpoint it does not exist.

What's more all the symbols can be destroyed as text is just an abstraction over a pixel drawing interface. The axioms (pixels) of this interface are too low level. But this is just a minor flaw.

The main flaw I see with Viewpoint is that it's not clear how computation can be modeled with these pixels. How do you represent logic? Or, and, nor, xor? Is viewpoint Turing complete?

Time is an intrinsic part of logic, a programming must be able to represent logic and time by using only spacial dimensions.
