> Most problems I solve today are not good fits for static types.

This would seem to involve a widespread misconception about what static types are really about. Languages that "don't have static types" are not inherently more flexible than languages that do expose them; one can always translate a "dynamic" program structure to a statically-typed language in a way that preserves arbitrary flexibility in refactoring, prototyping and the like. Many languages even provide a standard `Dynamic` type for this very purpose.

Middleboxes can still do that, assuming they have a valid SSL certificate. But that obviously makes it a -trusted- middlebox, not say, your ISPs middlebox.
Where do dollars come from? Many observers say that the Federal Bureau of Engraving and Printing manufactures them. These manufactured dollars are then distributed to banks and through banks to other firms and to the public. They are manufactured in the quantities necessary for efficient settlement of loans and other financial instruments. In particular, attention is paid to current goals for purchase of "Treasury" notes. These instruments are also manufactured by the USA government.

Obviously, an individual human can't operate like this. The USA government can, and has for decades. Remember the Gospels' admonition to "render unto Caesar."
So glad I live in a country with sane labor laws. We have mandated 4 weeks vacation, most places have 5 weeks. The law actually says that the employee is mandated to take 4 weeks vacation and the employer is mandated to make sure the employee takes their vacation. It's possible to "transfer" vacation days from one year to the next, but most people take their vacation every year. Looking forward to July off.

There are true risk sharing models that do not involve interest. For example, I want to start a business, instead of taking a interest-bearing loan, I have someone invest in my business in return for equity. This way, risk is shared by both (or more) of us. If the business fails, we both lost effort and money and time. If it succeeds, we both profit.

With lending money, there's usually a collateral involved. If the borrower defaults, then the lender simply comes after his property, taking more than what was originally lent, purely by the passing of time (which accrues interest).

When you read about student loans for instance, especially higher loans for people who go into law or med schools, how even after those people are employed and making good money, their outstanding amounts barely budge (or even accrue) even after a while. This is unjust, unfair, unethical, and exploitative.

> Would you then call Zoom out as somehow evil for shutting down accounts that broadcast child porn live?

Yes? Obviously? They should report the account-holder to the police - or, if the police refuse to do their jobs, to armed vigilantees - for arrest and prosecution (repectively lynching); if such people want to broadcast video evidence of their crimes, lets make sure to deliver their Darwin award ASAP.

> So then it's impossible to hold a "no censorship at all" position, at least not without being a hypocrite.

I'm a hypocrite about plenty of things, but this isn't one of them.

Edit: to be a bit more explicit, laws against posession (rather than production) of child sexual abuse material are a mechanism to protect child molestors by making it dangerous to posess evidence of their crimes. (And also a mechanism to attack fine upstanding file-sharing websites by uploading such material and then reporting them to the FBI or equivalent.)
Well, authoritarian regimes wouldn't be first to shut this down. Western corporations will, because of illegal content sharing, no enforceable DMCA, and all this
Their budget is only about $100k per employee. Considering how many cops are making $200k+, that's actually a lot lower than I would expect.

In terms of both cops and $ per capita (or per square mile), LAPD is actually a lot leaner than most big city police departments (maybe partially offset by presence of CHP/LASD in certain domains)

LAPD: $325 per resident per year

Chicago PD: $667 per resident per year

NYPD: $714 per resident per year

It will likely cause massive inflation but it may not cause much of an increase in CPI. I think economists ought to redefine inflation. CPI is not the same as inflation. CPI metrics have been thoroughly gamed decades ago and they're essentially meaningless.

Almost all of the monetary inflation these days shows up in the markets as inflated asset prices and does not show up in the CPI.

If you believe that bare sustenance of the working class is the only thing that matters, you could argue that this distinction is not significant... But growing wealth inequality is causing concentration of political power, distorting markets, regulating small businesses out of existence, creating useless corporate jobs, driving up rents, eroding privacy rights, eroding democracy, eroding freedom of speech, creating division (Milton Friedman even warned us about this in the 70s), encouraging unethical business practices (surveillance capitalism)... I think we're well beyond the point where we can sweep these problems under the carpet. They have become existential problems for society and they are caused by wealth inequality brought about by asset price inflation and accompanying stock buybacks (often paid for using interest-free printed credit from banks).

We live in a feudal society - But unfortunately for the plutocrats, they cannot use god's will as an excuse to justify their current position in society... The more time passes, the more people become aware of systematic cronyism, the more untenable the plutocrats' positions will be.
> Too much is made of the idea of 'objective facts' and 'subjective experience'. It causes so much linguistic confusion.

I disagree on this point. When we think of matter, in terms of physics or chemistry, we think of matter as having certain qualities, such as mass, volume, velocity, etc. However subjective experience doesn’t seem, at least on the surface, to share those qualities.

Can the existence of subjective experience be explained using only the qualities currently associated with matter, as understood in today’s physics? It doesn’t seem so.

So it seems to me that the fact that subjective experience exists is a hint that our current models are incomplete and need revising.

How exactly do they need revising? No idea whatsoever.
They made a facial recognition tool available to law enforcement and in the marketing it says "requires no machine learning expertise to use" then I think it's fair to look at any value of the threshold parameter they make available. Especially a parameter that, by changing it, will give you the answer you want more often.

I'm deeply troubled by the text I've seen here implying this threshold is some accuracy percentage or positive predictive value percentage. Unless God is working behind the scenes at AWS they can't make any claim about the accuracy of the model on an as yet unseen population of images.

That's even before getting to the more esoteric map vs territory concerns like identical twins, altered images, adversarial makeup and masks, etc.

As long as we're ranting about stupid form design.

Dear everyone: Denmark does NOT have states. Literally dozens of times have I encountered a form that absolutely requires that I input something in the state field before they will ship my stuff. A sufficiently motivated individual could traverse the major landmasses of Denmark by bicycle in about a day[0], we don't need no damn states.

I usually put in "NULL" for state, and hope something breaks.

What if people all over the world could teleport to your living room and write rude things on the walls if they felt like it? Preventing them would be censorship too. Nobody is consistently against censorship in the broad sense you use the term. You'd have to be against all boundaries, and all territory. Nobody is like that, if only because they believe in their own.

Totally agreed. The thing I think contributes most to this impression is how local voice is recorded at all times on the client, and then replayed at a higher speed to the other participants if the connection drops briefly. This enables others to hear what was said, without having to listen to the speech at the original pace, which would result in a delay. Genuis!

Thanks for the pointers! Not original commenter, but familiar with the literature a bit. One thing that confused me reading your article is that you are criticizing one, fairly narrow way Ericsson has defined deliberate practice.

But in Hambrick, Campitelli, and Macnamara's volume on expertise, they do a good job showing that he has not been consistent with definitions (e.g. 3 definitions: must have, sometimes must have, doesn't require a teacher).

Not a problem for your post, but I was pretty confused about what you were calling deliberate practice until reading this response.
The problems solved by static analysis are not the big problems, and when it's useful to solve some of them solving them in a less-than-complete way is good enough. (Even languages like Java implicitly align with this by allowing runtime reflection with strings.* )

You might just have to try it in order to get it. Write 10k lines, reflect on what your pain points were. I recommend giving Common Lisp a spin, its popular free implementation SBCL even has rudimentary and incomplete "static" analysis ('compile is a function available at runtime) useful for catching typos or telling you your types are off or telling you that with a bit of type hinting in places it could make your code compile to much faster assembly instructions (and you can immediately verify by calling the built-in function 'disassemble). After that you might understand a bit, even if you still don't like it. Meanwhile multi-million line projects exist regardless.

* And to continue a bit more with the article's vein of static analysis going beyond static types, there are many cases where we'd like to specify a function precondition which is too complex to prove holds in the real program. We don't lament, though. And if it's important, we check it at runtime. It's risky business after all running code without checks just because some external source approved it -- the external source could have made a mistake, or unexpected runtime conditions (many coming from the nature of programs having to run on physical hardware) could happen.
Just say "our company policy does not allow using Zoom due to security concerns", then suggest an alternative that you prefer.
Sure.

core.fsmonitor is set to our custom fsmonitor (this causes issues with submodules, at least on 2.24)

core.untrackedCache true

We use index version 4

And a slight hack: our wrapper sets GIT_FORCE_UNTRACKED_CACHE = 1. This forces `git status` to write the untracked cache if it notices a difference. I was too lazy to add a patch to configure that.
To add a bit of context for anyone interested, there are some interesting reasons why switched capacitor circuits are powerful in integrated CMOS design. In terms of matching, the choice between resistors and capacitors is due to size and matching. Large values of resistance require large resistors or can be implemented with smaller capacitors, switches, and a clock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor#The_switche...). Resistance values which would be prohibitively large to get with a resistor in modern processes can be achieved with switched capacitors. Additionally (and more importantly), capacitors can have better matching due to their geometries. If we want a gain of 10 on-chip, switched capacitor circuits are very well suited. Switched capacitor circuits obviously can't be used everywhere (need a clock, not continuous time), but they provide some good advantages.

Considering a resistor as a sheet with a length and width, increasing the length or decreasing the width will increase the resistance. A large resistance means a long and thin material. For a capacitor, we just care about the overall area of the plates and normally use squares. There are variations to the dimensions generated for both of these shapes. The long, thin resistor is more sensitive to these absolute changes in its width and thus the best matching is reduced. The absolute values of both resistors and capacitors are poor, but the matching of capacitors can be as good as 0.1% (enough for 10-bits of accuracy). http://ims.unipv.it/Courses/download/AIC/Layout03.pdf

There are a few switched-capacitor ICs, though they're more for boutique applications at this point. https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data...

> while effective and life changing is a band aid that the medical industry can make money on

This is a really dangerous comment.

Yes, it's true that, for some, weight loss is all that's needed.

There are people who need CPAP and no sort of 'lung capacity' and musculature exercises will help. A former coworker even had central sleep apnea. Exercise that.

Exercise helps with everything, but it doesn't mean one will be cured and stop needing CPAP. CPAP isn't that profitable even, considering how long the machines last and that supplies can be found elsewhere, so there's little incentive for medical providers to push them. In fact, in some countries, you'd be hard pressed to find insurers providing CPAP machines, as they are expensive.

The only ROI they might have is with less future hospitalizations due to serious conditions. Untreated sleep apnea can massively increase the chances of heart attacks, strokes and many other conditions.
