I agree with what you said, but I don't think it invalidates the usefulness of "mental model" thinking. I like that you used the word "tacit," because I think that's exactly what somebody like Charlie Munger would point out: when dealing with complex issues, people often rely on their tacit knowledge and, because of their own limitations and biases, miss some of the most fundamental and obvious aspects of their problem. An example he uses is the introduction of New Coke: Munger describes a number of extremely basic biological and psychological concepts that could have predicted the failure of New Coke, things that are part of every 100-level course in those subjects, and yet the executives at Coke still managed to completely fail to integrate that knowledge into their decision-making. I'm not all on the hype train, but I do think the idea of applying a broad set of concepts to complex problems can be really, really useful, and sometimes will produce better results than relying on your tacit knowledge. There are of course problems where this is not true, and knowing the difference is important. Mental model thinking will probably not generate the next big breakthrough in some highly technical field like math or physics, for example. But that doesn't mean it has no value.
“Arbitrary” doesn’t mean “uniformly random”. Even though the lines are blurred, there is still a strong correlation between being considered part of a particular racial classification in the US and having certain genes.
Not the original poster but remember hearing something very similar over a decade ago, and I haven't forgotten the statement:

"If the Americans are determined to interfere [in a confrontation over Taiwan] we will be determined to respond,” said Gen Zhu, who is also a professor at China's National Defence University.

"We will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of the cities east of Xian."

I agree with much of your excellent argument. I aim to strengthen it.

It's very expensive to fittingly defend any conceptions of //real// and //knowledge// in my experience. It's hard to put into words, but I take representations (including what may seem as menial as mental models) made explicit to at least sometimes be necessary though insufficient (and not epiphenomenal) for being a good thinking thing like us. I am worried that some circles do not appreciate the anti-codificationist intuitions about virtue (of a practice) that you are speaking about. At the very least, some rails, footholds, rules-of-thumb, and oversimplified models can provide an accelerated ladder for us, and that may continue even for experts in at least some cases. Without denying the radical value of immersive experience in developing tacit knowledge (nor the necessity of fast emotion for slow cognition), I think there's plenty of room to debate about even the value of crutch-models, compressions, explicitly exploring, story-telling, and codifying instrumental reasoning for even the virtuoso (including with other virtuosos).
there is llbuild...

https://github.com/apple/swift-llbuild

llbuild is a set of libraries for building build systems. Unlike most build system projects which focus on the syntax for describing the build, llbuild is designed around a reusable, flexible, and scalable general purpose build engine capable of solving many "build system"-like problems. The project also includes additional libraries on top of that engine which provide support for constructing bespoke build systems (like swift build) or for building from Ninja manifests.
Do you have a source that confirms LingQ filed the motion?

It seems like the most likely explanation, but I haven’t been able to find much more context here outside of the update to sourceforge.
Oh definitely. Russia’s threat of gas embargoes, even if never stated, is very scary for a lot of countries.
Hi, thanks for sharing. This resonates.

What kind of books did you write?
I like to write using pen and paper. It may be slower, but I tend to recollect the content much better instead of typed notes.
I suppose it's not so easy to rectify the names we find in computing. It's a highly abstract field and also relatively young. It's really hard to come up with names for concepts which don't actually exist yet. We ended up with terse jargon at best and generic, sometimes incorrect names at worst. I think Scheme is the language with the cleanest symbol names and even in that language we find aggravating abbreviations such as the true and false symbols, all the different equality procedures and other historical Lisp jargon.

In science and medicine people seem to just make up new words using latin or greek roots. Things are often named after the people who discovered them. It's very inconsistent. Any attempts to fix it by introducing better names inevitably results in the new generation having to know all of the names. Some professors will even quiz students on obscure names nobody cares about anymore.

I wonder how mathematicians, physicists and engineers come up with names...
Perfect example of how not proactively making an algorithm anti-racist can yield results that end up being racist. If you train a machine learning algorithm on photos with predominantly white faces, your algorithm is going to think people with lighter skin are more important thank people with darker skin.
Sure, but re-linking was the big factor, or god forbid you touched a header file that was used in 400 code units -- or your ccache corrupted itself, or you changed your compiler flags (which would force ccache to recompile everything anyway).

As much as I don't like programming golang, they did get compilation right. And Scons/ninja/automake/cmake issues just went away.
See lojban, essentially first-order logic that you can speak.
The things you spend time doing will become the things you do: What you're good at doing, what you have a habit of doing.

So be intentional to spend time doing things you actually want to focus on, or become good at, or have as habits.

I suspect this advice, like most advice from the old to the young, is difficult to really understand or follow from the perspective of the young.
> Winning the rhetorical war on HCQ

You said there's "no evidence". I said you were wrong, and apparently could muster better information than you could. That's not rhetoric, that's logic and evidence.
The EPA quote clearly implies that for the US it is > 50%.

The realclimate article says: "the rise in atmospheric CO2 is entirely caused by fossil fuel burning and deforestation". So then the question is what is the ratio between those two sources. Quote here says ~10% of total is from tropical deforestation:

https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/deforestation/

So ballpark figure is 90% from fossil fuels? The exact number doesn't matter for the basic argument of the paper though, as long as it is the vast majority of the source.
Open Source Initiative (Wikipedia)
Apple doesn't allow porn apps and provides no way to side load. That's 1.3 billion people who are effectively being censored. And before you say you can still watch videos there are apps that do things videos don't. 3D games, real VR, etc... Apple has a whole list of things you aren't allowed to have in apps.
> In my opinion mainstream software will be abstracted away to the point where you are working on defining and refining requirements. And will likely look very different.

In some sense, the same thing could have been said 50 years ago, and the prediction came true. Compare what a typical programmer writes on a typical day, then and now, to the instructions that the machine executes as a result, then and now. I'm with Dijkstra [0] (HN thread [1]), in thinking that we'll always need something more formal (simpler) than natural language to express computation, even if it's only to ask things in a way SkyNet will respond to nicely.

So was all this BLM virtue signalling by Twitter Inc. all for nothing? Since they have a biased algorithm failing to detect non-white faces and preferring to select lighter faces in the same picture? Oh dear.

Companies pointing fingers at 'the system' should really use a mirror and ask themselves if they are really the baddies, since there's always three fingers point back at you. Looks like it was really an empty gesture after all.

WeChat is the 'do everything' app that's essential for the Chinese. No WeChat, no Chinese customer. Looks like Apple is going to lose its Chinese market completely. Without that big market, Apple's future is on pretty shaky ground. (The Chinese market alone is as big as the whole of the West.)

That's the law of unintended consequences.
Except that the higher up you get with your needs, regular person needs, where instead of constructing universes from subatomic particles you place pre-fab buildings, the less ambiguity matters. If I want, say, a window that adheres to the standards of the system and don't want to fuck about with fiddly shit that only programmers care about, the amount of acceptable ambiguity in the directive should be much higher.

Because, for one thing, if my cognitive requirement is transformed from a thousand directives to one higher order directive, I suddenly have energy and time for clarifying dialogue and exploration of presented options.

Like...right now I can google "email program" and be recommended an email program to download where I just click a button and suddenly I have a new email program installed. And that's even with google trying to organize literally everything being said online and being constantly bombarded by blogspammers and other malicious actors. It should not be horrifying to anyone to desire being able to program computers that way too.
Knowing the owners of Twitter I hope they completely shut down the service while they fix this.

HN doesn't like talking about race or numerous other "controversial" topics. This story is already flagged off the front page.
I'm always amused and simultaneously annoyed by those ads about Raspberry Pi "killers" that are X amount faster or whatever, but they never get around to pointing out the price factor. They nearly always start at double the price. I'd only expect them to outperform the Raspberry Pi if they are double the price.

The Raspberry Pi is what it is, and is in every way brilliant for it. If you want X amount faster, you pay for that. That's not a Raspberry Pi killer. It's a different category altogether. Those SBCs cost more, and therefore you get more. If you need that, Raspberry Pi isn't what you need. But if you are within the group that Raspberry Pi caters to, it's hard to find better.

It's like saying the new electric Harley Davidson motorcycle is an e-bike killer. Of course it's faster and more powerful and has more this and that more features. It costs more. It's just not the same thing.

PS: The new Rpi 4 with lots of RAM is certainly getting there. I actually use one as my desktop even though I have far more powerful equipment in my studio.

> The Commerce Department operates as a proxy for Congress.

That's how the government works. Congress writes the laws and the executive branch executes the laws... That doesn't make the executive branch part of the legislative branch.

"In the United States, the Department of Commerce is an executive department of the federal government concerned with promoting economic growth. This organization's main purpose is to create jobs, promote economic growth, encourage sustainable development and _block harmful trade practices of other nations_[1]". The department of commerce is literally a part of the executive branch. Of course they operate with the support of Congress, they are implementing the laws that Congress writes. That's how the government works. I don't know what point you're trying to make.

Sure, it's extremely frustrating to have someone come in and throw the baby out with the bathwater (wait is that a "mental model"?) and apply a bunch of surface pattern matching to a problem on which you have genuine expertise.

On the other hand, we don't always have the deep expertise necessary to find optimal solutions to any given problem. Sometimes lateral thinking is useful, and I see no problem with having a bunch of established patterns that you can use as different lenses to approach difficult problems.

The other thing is that these high-level models serve as an aid to communication. Of course this is risky since "the map is not the territory" (sorry couldn't resist), but as an expert the first thing you must realize is that the vast majority of people (even smart ones) will never understand your area of expertise to a tenth of the depth you do. These mental models can give a shortcut to understanding in a more general way than ad-hoc metaphors; it won't be perfect but it's better in most cases than a complete failure to be understood.

Just curious why you suggest emoticons are glyphs insufficient for the communication of intelligence re emotions. They seem an almost incredibly insightful development in orthography.

Sensationalized article. The real story looks like all of TSMCs 5nm capacity for 2020 is booked by Apple, not all 5nm for all time. That said, TSMC is the world leader in process these days, and cimoetion between customers has been fierce to book it. But if there was any serious risk AMD could be shut out for all time from 5nm you would have heard about that at their last investor call, not from an enthusiast website.

I don’t believe survivorship bias applies... yet. Even though I do have a bachelors degree (not computer science) I barely graduated high school. Even still I am doing well as a senior developer having surpassed many of my peers. Yet many of the strongest developers I have worked with personally are also self taught. I believe that once I take my peers into consideration there is a frequent reproducible pattern.

It becomes survivorship bias when I become more specific and speak to what works versus what does not, particularly in contrast to common faulty social expectations.

Again, there is no "duty" here. The Senate is not subservient to the executive branch. This "norm" has been invented out of thin air.
I love the idea but it is of limited use to me right now:

How do I know this metric is any good?

What does “attractiveness” mean and what desired outcomes does it correlate to?

For example HN is ugly (sorry for the candor!) but it’s a plus - it’s a statement about what you write being most important and also by not changing the ui it’s lovely to use. Now compare that to Reddit which might come though as a prettier site at first glance but bitching about the Reddit ui and then someone mentioning old.reddit and friends is a trope: lots of people hate the Reddit ui. So on some metric that matters to me HN wins.

Finally - if I score X how do I actually improve the score?
> HN doesn't like talking about race or numerous other "controversial" topics.

There was plenty of discussions on HN when GitHub was renaming master/slave terminology [0] and when other open source projects were doing the same. Essentially they break the HN guidelines when they 'like' if it is a company / person they 'like'.

On the other hand, when a topic attacks their 'narrative' or attacks their side of the argument from someone they don't like, they downvote, flag and censor and make sure it is never seen. Even if it is factual and has evidence.

They might not be allowed to. Taiwan would forbid it.

Also, tsmc has loads of clients. Apple doesn’t want to sell to them. So they shut them down?? It’s a mess.
I’m not surprised that if you use accessories that aren’t vetted to work with a particular system, that the system may get damaged over time in a way that isn’t an intentional “self destructing” design. At the time that I’m writing this, the HN title is an editorialized “iPhone 5 through 8 and some iPads self-destruct w non-MFi cables and chargers” when the ifixit link says “How [do] I test the Tristar?”

If you take your car to a mechanic and get repairs with generic third party parts and the car isn’t as efficient or reliable as the same model car that was taken to the dealer mechanic doing repairs with parts officially approved by the car maker, would you be surprised?

If you were Apple and wanted to guarantee a minimum level of quality and safety, doesn’t the MFi program make sense? I’ve never thought of MFi certification as a ploy to charge more just because they can. Such a program lets you buy (MFi certified) Anker lightning cables for a lot less than a similar cable made by Apple.
I know what you mean. My handwriting was always awful, even during school/university. But I think it pays off to actually take a few minutes a day to try to improve it.

Life's short. Don't spend it in debt to banks. Paying off your debts is life changing. Imagine heading into the 2008 recession with a paid off house and car, and an emergency fund that will pay at least 6 months of expenses. Financial worries are one of the top 3 things couples argue about. Be different.

Don't sabotage yourself by not taking care of your body. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. You can live without them, and you'll be much healthier. Avoid excess sugar. If its not a desert, it should not be high in sugar. Work out. Take walks. Hike. By the time you're 50, you'll notice that people who have not taken care of themselves are no longer able to work mentally demanding jobs.

Pay attention to stress. It's the big killer. It will kill your ability to think, and your ability to have meaningful relationships. And, eventually, it will kill you. If you're getting stressed, find a different way, a different job - change whatever you have to.

Well engineers and physicists can get around the naming issue by being very verbose. If an idea requires concepts from 5 different words to properly express then usually the whole 5 word phrase becomes the accepted nomenclature. The exceptions are usually when the preexisting words contain really different alternate meanings.
