there's not much evidence that most humans would ever discover the concept of fractional arithmetic by themselves.

this is a generic mathematics class with young children who by themselves are not likely to walk or even stumble into fractional arithmetic by themselves.

there's also no evidence that teaching people complex sophisticated stuff before they have grasped basic concepts enhances their curiosity or learning experience in general.

now, if you are homeschooling a child or somehow in a 1 on 1 (or at least, working with a very small teacher:student ratio), then perhaps a more freeform exploration of fractional arithmetic might be a wonderful thing.

doing so with a general class of kids? i strongly suspect you're wrong. they won't even understand that there is an anomaly, because they don't even understand the basic concepts that make it an anomaly. why shouldn't adding two fractions (never seen those before!) result in different answers? in fact, why is 2/3 different from 2/6 anyway? and so on.

this is not about shutting down curiosity IMO. it's about nurturing the basic concepts so that curiosity can grow amidst them in the (near) future.

> So are you saying polarization makes it easier for people to vote?

No, I'm saying that the description that polarization was absent is wrong.

I'm also saying alignment of the axis of differentiation between the major parties in a two-party system and the salient divides in society makes it easier for people to make meaningful choices, and feel they are doing so, by voting.

When there are sharp polarizing social/political divides, as there were over many issues in the 1950s, and they are not reflected in the divides between the parties (as they often weren't in the 1950s), then the government cannot represent the people because the people cannot express their preferences on important issues by voting.

> pluralism doesn't state there is no way to "find truth"

To the contrary, that is literally what pluralism as a philosophical concept says. You can read up on Isaiah Berlin's "value pluralism" [1], for example.

> These ethical arguments, however genuine they may be, are not equal however

On what basis? Again, the entire premise of pluralism provides no method for comparison.

> this is, in fact, extremely intuitive

Many would disagree. You might enjoy reading [2], which explains just how hard it is for citizens to understand it, from the point of view of an economics professor.

> and there is an American ethical framework

Except there isn't, that's the point. For example, Republicans and Democrats obviously believe in deeply divergent ethical frameworks. And there's far more diversity beyond that. Plus there's no way to say that any American ethical framework would even be right -- what if it were wrong and needed correction?

Same. I miss the days of the chronological feed. Facebook's algorithms seem to choose a handful of people and groups I'm connected to and constantly show me their content and nothing else. It's always illuminating when I look someone up after wondering what happened to them only to see that they've been keeping up with Facebook, but I just don't see any of their posts.
That is a really annoying issue I have with YouTube.

I occasionally watch some of the Joe Rogan podcast videos when he has a guest I'm interested in. I swear, as soon as I watch one JRE video, I am suddenly inundated with suggestions for videos with really click-baity and highly politicized topics.

I've actually gotten to the point where I actively avoid videos that I want to watch because I know what kind of a response YouTube will have. Either that or I open them in incognito mode. It's a shame. I wish I could just explicitly define my interests rather than YT trying to guess what I want to watch.

Something seems severely wrong, either on Cloudflare's side, or on the way to the cloudflare edge that the test is measuring against. It's a shame as the UI gives you lots of information on just one page, especially like the jitter measurement which most speedtests don't seem to do anymore.

> Logistics companies rely on huge amounts of optimization and problem-solving.

Having worked at the largest tech based Logistics company in India, I can say, we did rely on optimization and problem-solving, but none of them involved AI, they were mathematical models and not black box.
It would be interesting to actually see how Anycast is finding the Cloudflare edge location, and how the traffic is getting routed.
Isn't this because Netflix (fast.com) has better peering agreements with most ISPs while Cloudflare relies more on their own infrastructure?

This connection doesn't mean shit compared to someone you see face to face and share experiences with.
Yet this watered down form of connection seems to have replaced the latter, which I think is the fundamental social problem of the internet.
Just a detail about language and meaning. I think you may have meant to say:

>"if it was up to me, all of the senior members of the CCP would be tried for crimes against humanity."<

thereby leaving punishment to depend on the determination of criminal activity,

instead of

dcolkitt>"if it was up to me, all of the senior members of the CCP would be tried and executed for crimes against humanity. "*

The form you used describes a sort of "Judge Roy Bean" justice, whereby you assume them guilty of crimes. But if you do assume them guilty, why a trial? Simplify your language to the more succinct:

>"if it was up to me, the senior members of the CCP would be executed. "
I think that's a really interesting question, but I think the answer is orthogonal to your dichotomy. In my experience, very successful projects depend on the great managers that know who to listen to in each different situation, and they know how people will react in each situation.

One of the best examples of this is Dave Lewis, who lead the design of the F-4 Phantom II, one of the most successful fighter aircraft of all time. He directed the structural design team to design for 80% of the required ultimate load, because he knew that everyone was conservative in their numbers; then the design was tested. The structure ended up lighter than comparable aircraft, and the Phantom II had phenomenal performance.

It also helps if the managers are good at making predictions of their own; Tetlock has written two great books about this, including: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superforecasting:_The_Art_and_...
Then you spot other books at a similar price and maybe something that directly interests you, and your assumptions change.
Like the idea here, but think it would be more useful and exciting to have a better readable format.
> I’m actually surprised they are now allowed to have the same CEO for Corporation and Foundation.

You're spreading misinformation. AFAIK Mitchell Baker is still the chair of the Foundation, but the Foundation's equivalent of a CEO is Executive Director Mark Surman.
I have a number of PDP11's (that escaped nuclear obliteration) and have the skills to keep your nuclear plant running until 2050 [0]. The instruction set is really worth studying to this day, and the fact it has both pre and post-increment/decrement surely informed the design of C (and its predecessors). So orthogonal a single instruction could replicate itself through memory:-

MOV (-PC),(-PC)

As the instruction counter (PC, AKA R7) auto-incremented on each instruction, that instruction first decrements the PC (so it points back to the current instruction) and then copies the contents of the memory location (i.e. the current instruction) to the next lower memory address. And since the PC has now been decremented twice, the operation can repeat until it hits somewhere without any physical RAM (as PDP-11's have a bus signal to tell them whether the addressed memory exists or not).

Also easy to program in octal; knowing that MOV is 01MRMR, addressing mode M is 4 for pre-decrement and R is the register number, no-one even needed an assembler to write that instruction as:-

014747

The ultra-regular ISA made it easy to learn and remember bootstraps, it'd just take a few passes along the toggle switches to key in a loader. It became rather easier with boot ROMs and serial terminals, e.g. on the LSI-11 just typing '173000G' was enough to bring up the system (back then I got to code a boot loader for 5" disk drives, 2 different 8" disk driver and a user interface with a prompt into 256 words of ROM).

Those were the days, my friend.

Funnily enough I booted one of the PDP's a few days ago and it wasn't even hard to remember op-codes learnt 40+ years ago.

Everybody who uses Facebook should spend about ten minutes on it. Catch up with the important things friends are doing and leave.

Unfortunately, this behavior is not in Facebook's best interest. For them, it's Facebook now, Facebook later, Facebook as far as the eye can see. Everything is Facebook.

There is a premise to this article that needs to be called out and expunged. I have come to the sad conclusion that Facebook is a company that should not exist. It's laying waste to huge sections of the economy that used to provide valuable, informative content, it's in a battle to suck your entire day away from you with streaming and other services, and it's premise is in direct contradiction to how we know societies evolve. You can't start with "how do we fix it" and end up anywhere good.

They're not dummies. There might be a lot of happy-talk, echo chamber discussions happening inside the company, but they know the score. That's why they're picking political winners and losers. I imagine there's a ton of money heading out to both parties to provide cover over the next few election cycles.

I think looking back, if we manage to navigate our way through this period, it's going to be viewed as a very sad and dark time, much like the dark ages. I sincerely hope I am completely wrong about all of this.
Yeah, I decided to roll mine out too (here's an example - https://blog.sideprojectors.com).

> The giant touch screen panel in a Tesla is the main reason I would never get one.

For me, the interesting part about owing a Tesla is the realization of just how badly designed traditional cars are. Dedicated tactile controls are better in an automotive context for fiddling while driving, and the Model 3 implements almost everything necessary while driving as physical controls.

The two things that I fiddle with while driving that don't have physical controls are the stereo and windshield wipers. The stereo has a physical volume and tracking controls, I don't think a physical interface for any other part of the stereo would be much better than the touch screen. Windshield wipers should have a physical interface, in the Model 3's auto mode is great 99% of the time but when it isn't it's too hard to manually adjust and when you need to adjust wipers is precisely the wrong time to be fiddling.
Super interesting, thanks. Have you considered limiting the amount of votes a user can cast per hour or day or week? I guess they would get more on the reflective side if they're dealing with something perceived as a limited resource, making vote itself that higher signal.
> "Initially, Microsoft operating systems did support SLAAC but not RDNSS, Android did not want to support DHCPv6. That meant that you couldn’t support these two operating systems on the same subnet."

This is incorrect. You can run SLAAC (with or without RDNSS) and stateless DHCPv6 on the same subnet.

Even more, running DHCPv6 correctly actually requires sending RAs with the O or M bit set, so you're almost doing SLAAC anyway (setting M disables SLAAC, O does not.)

Sensible (= stateless) DHCPv6 is an addition to SLAAC/RDNSS to allow pushing additional config. It is not a replacement.
I'd just suggest the data scientist was optimizing the wrong metrics. People might behave that way, but having frequent political arguments is a reason people stop using Facebook entirely. It's definitely one of the more common reason people unfollow friends.

Very high levels of engagement seems to be a negative indicator for social sites. You don't want your users staying up to 2AM having arguments on your platform.

Twitter would have to recognize, an in kind contribution to any candidate running against the President.

"The value of an in-kind contribution—the usual and normal charge—counts against the contribution limit as a gift of money does. Additionally, like any other contribution, in-kind contributions count against the contributor’s limit for the next election, unless they are otherwise designated."

> Like what though?

Like more articles about people/events/places/traditions that many Norwegians consider to be notable.

I don't know if you're intentionally being difficult, but the post you originally replied to had links to an article and some previous discussion about pages on female scientists coming under more scrutiny than pages about male scientists.

I just used Norwegians as an example of a cultural group. Replace it with female, African American, latinx, trans, etc. and you can see how if more people from those groups are a part of the site, then there will be more articles about people/events/places/traditions that are notable to those cultural groups.
Because those editors will more likely recognize such articles as being notable to a non-trivial amount of people, whilst your average white guy might think it's something trivial just because they've never heard of it and "don't see what the big deal is".
> Strictly speaking, Facebook is a public company that exists only to serve its shareholder's interests.

That's a very US-centric interpretation, which fits because Facebook is a US company.

But it's still reductive to the issue considering how Facebook's reach is also far and wide outside the US.

In that context, it's not really that much of an unsolvable dilemma, it only appears as such when the notion of "shareholder gains above all else" is considered some kind of "holy grail thu shall never challenge".
> I never understood what people mean by being "more productive" with vim. As a developer I don't edit text - I reason about architectures, algorithms, and data flow. Actual typing is the smallest part of the job and I don't get paid by lines of code anyway...

Vim isn't about reducing typing so much as reducing repetition. With most IDEs having built-in and automatic pretty printing today (and a larger overall adoption of automated and semi-automated linters) a lot of the repetition has indeed vanished for coding. Though there are still plenty of coding jobs out there that involve far too much copypasta, boiler-plate construction (where generators don't quite suffice or worse are not allowed), or turn out to have a lot more "data jockeying" [0]. Those are places where vim comes in handy. (VSCode's multiple cursor support can do a lot of that with a simpler brain model, but every now and then I still want the power of a good vim macro expansion repeated globally through a document.)

[0] For example: Take this hand-written in Notepad by an intern administrative assistant list of IDs copy and pasted from the front-end (full of random whitespace and weird notes), transform it into the right JSON document to curl back to your back-end API, then transform it again into a T-SQL query so you can verify for the manager breathing down your neck by way of the Access front end they are familiar with that the back-end still functions as deployed and made the necessary DB changes. (Presume this example is entirely hypothetical.)
I live in a city, so mostly from dumpsters. Tons of recoverable food is thrown out every day. Way, way more than I can figure out what to do it.

I've also gotten more into fasting and eating less, but so far, no involuntary fasting has occurred.

I've also become more social, so sometimes others share their food with me, even in these difficult times. Yes, they bought it with money, and fed the eco-shaver, but I think it's still less than if I'd done it myself.

Occasionally, I go to restaurants towards closing time, and ask if they have any leftovers they are throwing away.

A great book on all this I read on this is called "The Scavengers' Manifesto". I learned a lot from meeting others on the street and looking through the trash.

I've done a bit of foraging when in wilder areas, and I've seen places where people grow most of their food themselves, in small communities. I think this is the future.

That's perhaps the greatest power of the corporation: it allows people to do shitty things without any specific person being at fault.

Executives have a "duty" to increase "shareholder value". It's not that they necessarily wanted to do X, but their hands were tied because the "data" clearly showed that X was best for shareholders. Plus, if X was so bad, it's really the government's fault for not making it explicitly illegal.

Shareholders aren't individuals either, they're mostly mutual funds, pension funds, ETFs, etc... that makes algorithmic investment decisions. They didn't ask for X, but the funds they invested in will react to not getting X.

Stores sell commodity items all the time. There are a large range of products that are identical in price amongst all of the stores today.

This even exists to an extent today with video games with Steam allowing you to purchase gift copies and sell them to others as a later time. Humble Bundle also allows games to be bought and sold to an extent. If you search there are lots of sites out there that sell Steam keys too. Steam doesn't just compete on price, they offer unique features such as their community features, existing userbase, and easy to use item markets as well. There are ways existing merchants entice you to buy commodity products today even if they have to sell them at the same price as other stores.

This model will likely be more fair to the content creator as they will likely get a larger portion of the profits, thought this is completely up in the air.

An interesting use case for selling modern digital commodities are things like $SOCKS (https://unisocks.exchange/) and Saint Fame (https://www.saintfame.com/). The price is dictated by the market itself instead of individual sellers.
> Compared to the CCP, it's fairly benign

It would take a book-length treatment to evaluate that sentence, but I don't think it's justified. We've been VERY active, around the whole world, since WWII. China's only started to look past their immediate neighbors recently.

I guess 'benign' can do a lot of work for you if you think we're the protagonists of history.

By that definition, it would be hard to separate out anything a computer does which isn't AI, which is I think not very useful.

AI "gets a bad rap" because it is past its hype peak. The number of people realizing that slapping an AI sticker on your product is largely BS and doesn't impress any more is growing, and AI isn't magic to everybody that can solve every problem. It's the same overhype cycle which happens with just about everything.
