As I have gotten older, one of the things I have come to understand is that the people who are leading figures in fields of human effort are just wired differently. We might describe them as "devoting" their entire lives to those fields, but "devoting" isn't the right word. It's not that they "work harder" or "put in more hours," it's that they experience every thing in their lives through the prism of their "chosen" field. They can't help but think of physics or art or design when they encounter any thing. It's not rational or intentional exactly (though they certainly aren't trying to change themselves) - it's about being oriented towards something in a pure way. Even the idea of "choosing" a field is deceptive, because there is some level of natural inclination that's required to be influential at a high level.

What I mean is that I think people are barking up the wrong tree when they talk about "working towards being the best." We can all work harder, and I think we should all consider doing so, but no amount of working harder will let you see every experience as a lesson in physics. Those kinds of holistic engagement in a subject come from someplace other than exercises of self control and are, I think, probably pretty harmful to the overall well being of the person involved.

I'm happy that I can put work down at the end of the day, and the people in my life are happy that I can too.
Has it always been that way?

I seem to remember RationalWiki (or perhaps some other similar site?) as an occasionally snarky but generally high-quality wiki on rationality, fallacies, science vs. pseudoscience, the logical or other mistakes in arguments that have been given for quackery, etc.

Nowadays it seems like a lot of the content is just about bashing people who have expressed less-than-greatly argued opinions, with some kind of a special target drawn on conservatives.

I mean, you can also do that and not be wrong, but that's entirely different than (mostly) dispassionately documenting things, even if while doing the latter you'd be somewhat poignant.

Either the content seemed to have a different tone ~10 years ago, or I remember wrong.

All Mazdas running the Connect system (for which AIO is built for) are compatible with the official Auto/CarPlay kit. So it should work :)
I explored building exactly that but turns out there’s no money in it. Most people want the narrative with the facts, if not more so.
We're already very much in a theoretical territory, but: Given small size, how do you detect a swarm? Hovering cubes would be ignorable noise to radars. At f22 flight speeds, you can't exactly manoeuver around them.

If you knew where the plane is headed, the question could become: can you create a wide enough curtain ahead of time that can home in on the incoming plane? Chasing is not needed that way.
There are 2 tests (a few months apart) needed to calibrate vitamin D dose. One could even go through the Coimbra protocol induction (though they don't have MS) to find the optimal amount for them.
Scrubbing a mission can be viewed as just as valuable. Even a 'mission kill' would far exceed the value of the drone.
Maybe less the Kim Kardashian of VR and more the Ray Kurzweil of VR? I’ve had similar experiences, he’s been talking about this stuff for 25 years but he’s more like a philosopher or creative thinker/talker type of person. AFAIK his main achievements are getting speaking engagements and writing the occasional article, but he’s often presented as some sort of VR pioneer or some sort of big deal in the world of VR, which I’m pretty sure he is not.

From the article, this is a proposal, not an extant policy.
Because we need a human up there, flying around, controlling the missiles. Moving the human closer to the battlefield for a more up-to-date viewpoint is quite important.
For me tech is the plan B and I've never truly gone after plan A. Sometimes I regret that but on the whole I think a well executed plan B makes way more sense than attempting plan A.

If you're successful enough with plan B you can FIRE and then more easily go after plan A, potentially multiple plan As.
I don't know about the UK, but in the USA, many pilots come from the military.

In the USA, if you want to learn to fly for free, rather than with "enormous debts", it's simple.

All you do is go thru the US Air Force Academy. They take black, white, male, female. They will train you for "free". Yes it requires a service commitment but it's by-and-large a meritocracy.

In the USA you're not entitled to pilot training merely for the sake of "diversity". Pay your dues, earn your way.

I had a cousin who did it. He flew jets for the US Air Force for years. He then became a commercial pilot.
Their business plan is $30 a month, so I'm tempted to say each paying user is definitely not worth $1000.

Given their revenues of 142M and 1.2M paid users, that's an average a tad below $120 a year per user, which would actually be less than their cheapest plan. That doesn't add up, it smells of free trials counted as paid users.
Ah, that makes sense, thank you!
All true. The problem is that Waters is not a credible source for this information. He read it somewhere else, hopefully in a reputable source, but didn't cite the source in his article. In my opinion, that's not trustworthy behavior.

You’re missing the point. If there’s a news source that you occasionally read then it’s far more cost effective for you to just buy the paper at the stand for 50¢ the few times you want it. Same with magazines. If you read every newspaper then getting lower cost and delivery in return for the paper getting consistent revenue is a good deal for both parties.

If you get your news like most people, via link aggregators like HN, Reddit Facebook, Twitter then you get linked to dozens of publications that all want a $5/mo. commitment which is untenable.
Hey, great questions:
- We do support markdown as you're typing (they're turned into the appropriate element as you type). Currently, pasting markdown has some bugs, but we definitely intend to fix those soon.
- Right now, you export a single note as a PDF. I figure you're asking, "can I export all my notes and take them with me". The answer to that is currently no, but we fully intend to support that. And if you need that in the meantime, we'll definitely do a one-time export for you.
- Yes, you can create checkboxes in markdown, and we also have simple checklists ala Google Keep as objects. However, we don't have complex todo features such as due dates, assignees, dependencies, etc.
> and research output

(1) Which has no impact on student learning (what nominally is what the undergrads are there for)

(2) And where there's a lot more academic malpractice at the elites. Most people don't get to be an MIT professor without cheating at least a little bit to get that extra edge.

Quality of faculty, which IS important, is identical until you get into really lower tiers.

> the academic quality of the average student

Indeed. So the question is to you want to segregate or integrate? Would the world be better off with all the smart kids and rich kids at one institution, and everyone else at another, or with everyone together? Remember at universities, kids can take different classes, so a freshman can take grad-level courses if they're so inclined.

Elite schools give you elite brand stamps and elite networks coming out. That's their key value-add. And it's totally worth it.

> class sizes

Ummm... No. Student:faculty ratios, usually. But a 4:1 faculty ratio with a 1:1 teaching load versus an 8:1 faculty ratio with a 2:2 teaching load leads to the same class size.

For the most part, elite schools don't have the best teaching. The best teaching happens at the more teaching-focused schools, unsurprisingly (which isn't the same as "small liberal arts..." which are mostly horrible).

> and more

... and again, no.

Here is the study:

It would take roughly an hour per day of exposure to 25% of the skin in summer midday sun to get 5000IU (depending on skin type and UV index).

The article seems to be conflating correlation with causation.
If the F22 turns around and aborts mission that's mission accomplished for the drone operator. The question is how many drones you need to deny figher aircraft from any given area, and how that cost compares to operating your own airforce
Its so strange that people are not making the connection between this and killer robots.

I don't think perfectly fair contributions are that relevant honestly because the US constitutes roughly 2/3rds of total spending contribution towards NATO and that's before acknowledging the value of their military assets like their Navy, Airforce, and Navy (but in the sky). When discussing America's contributions to the world and the benefits of its military there's no reason to not include NATO's role in maintaining regional stability as a US military accomplishment.

If you knew exactly where the plane is headed then, yeah, the drones might work.
Yes. HTML is a terrible platform for applications. It provides basically nothing and I am continually surprised that it doesn’t seem to be a major focus for improvement like JS and CSS.

I don’t need more types of semantic rectangle, I need actual real UI controls that are efficiently rendered and accessible by default, so I don’t have to build everything from scratch.

The fact that there’s no built-in element for things like dropdown menus is mind boggling to me. That’s GUI component #0; menus have existed for as long as GUIs have!

I feel that Houdini may eventually solve CSS’ shortcomings for application UI layout, but being stuck with HTML is like trying to build an aeroplane with sticks and mud.

So I would switch but not to AI/ML.
Most of the work in AI/ML is not training models , but the infra around (getting the data, scrubbing the data, securing the data, etc). So most of the work is regular software engineering.

Also, most of the simple DS tasks, will be automated by AutoML.

If I were you I would learn golang or Rust. You can join a data engineering group or any company that is moving to cloud native architecture.
Thanks for your input. I think a valuable thing that can be added to the conversation is a rough evaluation of how long vitamin D takes to leave the body.

It's easy for us to look at a bottle and control how much we're putting in, the tricky part is managing that we're only putting in enough to compensate for what has been used or lost since the last dosage. If people were given a vague idea of the Vitamin D "burn rate", and what factors might increase or decrease that number, I believe your and Dr. Boone's points may be significantly better received by others.
Yes, an AI fighter, stripped of all life support amenities, seats, cockpits etc could easily end up like a missile, with 3-4 wings, all the same with all needed control surfaces, and a similar tail. It would have no preferred up/down and all wings would have lift/control capabilities.
Fuel based, air burning engines would have more endurance than rockets that carry oxidizer and fuel. Such a plane would be ramjet/rocket capable, for part of the envelope, in case it went above the atmosphere for a short period = satellite shoot-down?
Currently, you can't, but great suggestion! My background is in Machine Learning and I'd love to have that myself. What would be your preferred way to get math notation into notes? What do you think about a LaTeX formula inserter like http://mathquill.com/

Its not about Huang. Its the structure of the markets and companies that makes this an obvious anti-trust problem.
They are an, arguably, prettier Jira.
Comms infrastructure is often greenfield in emerging-markets so there’s no legacy systems getting in the way, and the companies doing the deployment have the incentive to deploy the then-latest-and-greatest. But in 20-30 years’ time they’ll be having the same problems we have :)

Another issue is a lack of the kind of regulations (or their enforcement) that comms companies really dislike: things like regs about how to correctly bury cables and land-use rights or how to share overhead cable line poles - and most importantly: minimum service requirements. It’s easy to focus your entire org on a flashy new FTTP set-up in one single rich urban city when you’re not legally required to also keep a 75+ year-old unprofitable rural copper system running.

(No, I’m not a libertarian - and I’m happy to pay more for my service with the understanding that I’m subsidising a system that keeps isolated and vulnerable people connected.)

Certain types of corruption at the local level also play a part - which ordinarily would lead to worse outcomes overall, but in my case, at least, I’d love it if the suits that run BT’s OpenReach could be bribed to stop propping up copper :/
If I were building an AI commanded aircraft I would have it use every G the airframe could handle. No pilot means fewer maneuvering limitations and an increased chance of victory.

An intermediate step could be an AI-assisted aircraft. It might be better at setting up shots, and still work within the physical limitations of the human inside.

Something not mentioned is an AI powered plane's ability to more-rapidly change from positive to negative G's (not sure if this is technically called jerk or not). A human has a really tough time making that transition.

Despite the praise, I don’t see much of value. This is taxonomic in nature, giving you some loose categories to decompose sources of stress and emotional debt, but tons of research has been done in these areas, and this survey is a bit contrived with not very much data in the scheme of things.

None of that is a big deal really, but what bugs me is nothing in the document offers concrete strategy or tactics to resolve emotional debt or burnout. Advice like “be self-aware” and “go for a walk” and “get enough sleep” is terrible because everyone is already trying all that and burnout hits you specifically when circumstances prevent you from adequately “just” doing them.

It’s empty non-advice, very similar to saying “eat right & exercise” to a depressed person.

It reminds me a bit of this discussion of severe life events as a major explainer of most depression,

https://grasshoppermouse.github.io/2018/12/16/seven-reasons-...

It’s the same with burnout.

You can torture out “shadow” reasons all you want, but it’s really deflecting from the big obvious fact that un-live-with-able circumstances are un-live-with-able and you need to actually fix and remove traumatic circumstances. You should not talk about or endorse “being resilient” to them, because it’s just victim blaming “you need to take care of yourself” dressed up in pseudotheory.

Honestly I see more harm than good in analysis like this. Especially in terms of letting corporations and HR departments deflect and ignore fixing toxic work environments rampant with major burnout stressors, by supplying braindead platitudes like “go for a walk” or “be self-aware” and even worse saying, “look our leaders are doing it, so they’re not asking you to do something they themselves aren’t doing.”
Macro assessments of "the economy" play some role in expectations, but the economy is not comprehensible as a monolith. The predictive value of assessments of the "economy" on any one specific business are basically useless.

Rather, individual businesses are evaluated on their own individual trajectories, physics, prospects, and teams. Many of these have done well in COVID times and have stories aimed at convincing investors that improved performance will continue- independent of, or in inverse relation to larger negative macro assessments.

I haven't read these S1s but am sure this is the case here.

There are also technical- financial technical, not technical technical- reasons that make one moment better than another for seeking capital, and now is "good" for certain kinds of companies. It is also lifesaving for others- like Kabbage being bought by Amex a couple weeks ago. Their business (I believe) has basically been destroyed by the pandemic so Amex was able to get a good deal.

You should just read the S1s. The stories they tell are in fairly straightforward language, amidst a lot of transparency and compliance gobbledegook. But if you know a little about the companies you can probably arrive at an opinion about their narratives.

Cheers.
Yeah it seems like we have two very different views of what government should do, you want to live in a society where what you can spend your money on is heavily restricted, the government has strong powers to restrict what newspapers can publish, and the government decides what types of science are approved, biased, and pseudoscience.

That government seems closer to something like China, where I prefer a less authoritarian government where individuals have more control over what they can say, and spend money on. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

We learned in WWII that flak works just fine by exploding close to aircraft, which is much easier than directly hitting them. The same applies to drones.

You can have a wall of evenly spaced drones with explosives. When an aircraft passes all adjacent drones explode, the shockwave damaging the aircraft.

Not really - considering the massive premium a lot of "remote" tech stocks are getting I'm surprised that Slack ($WORK) is basically going nowhere.

Asana is closer to Slack than other cloud stocks imo, and given Slack's mediocre performance could easily see the same thing happen with Asana.

Before adding supplemental vitamin D, first ensure nutrient sufficiency and that all RDAs are being met (with just food). For example, low magnesium impairs vitamin D conversion and is a more common problem. Further, hGH/IGF-1 also pushes for conversion of vitamin D. Insufficient potassium, insulin resistance, and some other things clip hGH/IGF-1.

In some cases, fixing diet and sleep (ZMA for males) normalizes vitamin D. After other steps are taken, then add some amount of D3 if necessary. It's been said it's better gotten from red light (one of those special lamps/light) on the skin, as the body is able to regulate/limit absorption.

Either way, some supplementation is likely to be needed with age. Response of the skin to sunlight declines over time, especially due to rising cortisol.
Yes but Docker achieved their goal of making it annoying as hell to not user DockerHub. Because you can run your own private repo just fine but what you want is a transparent proxy (like apt-catcher) that will let you pretend you’re using DH but actually pulling from either the cache or your private repos. All the pieces are there with private repos and “pullthrough” proxies they’re just not well integrated, seemingly on purpose.

RedHat’s patches to Docker make this possible but Docker has refused to upstream it.

> He seemed to think that a real human in a real plane against the same plane with AI, would draw upon human resources to feel G at 600 knots etc and exceed the ability of the AI to draw on those resources - being an unfeeling machine.

I don't think he's saying that at all. On the contrary, he's saying the opposite, explaining the advantages an AI has in these areas. For example,

> Even proficient aviators have to use a percentage of their concentration (i.e. situation awareness) on not over-performing or under-performing the aircraft. AI could easily track this task and would most likely never bleed airspeed or altitude excessively, preserving vital potential and kinetic energy while also fine-tuning lift vector placement on the other aircraft to continue the fight if required.
It is never too old to transition and 36 is not old. Have a growth mindset. Don't listen to anyone who says it is too old to switch. You have one life to live, do what makes you happy.

Here is one advice, check that you want to move to AI/ML for the right reasons, not because it is the next cool thing.

One strategy: Take some of the courses in ML, for example Andrew Ng's course on ML and Deep learning. If you enjoy the course, next find a real project to do and see if you truly enjoy it. If you do enjoy it then switch, otherwise Java programming is always there. I have found real ML is a lot different from Andrew Ng's course for example, pretty much like doing algorithms in class is different from real world programming.
Corollary: Rebuke people in your company/community who respond to beginner questions with "RTFM"-like anger.
