Yes there is that issue. If someone posts something, and you post the one and only correct answer 12 hours later, it is highly likely nobody will notice.

But it does suit my attention span, so I don't even mind missing upvotes if I'm able to answer something a bit late for the party. Upvotes just mean that something I've said might be worth looking back on just in case there are replies to reply to. If I get an upvote for something I said more than 12 hours ago, I will at least notice that and get a chance to reply to it. Without that, they're lost, too. I just hope the OP notices whatever it was I tried to add, and move on. I'm not the center of what OP was presenting. Unlike Reddit, where everyone is competing to be that center.

It's why I always upvote anything resembling a good thread. Sometimes its the only hope of noticing if a comment got any traction.

There probably is no way to solve it for everyone. But at least here it doesn't automatically devolve into a meme or fire storm of utter hatred. When that is the norm, I know I'm not among peer and search for a different site.

And I say all that knowing that nearly nobody will notice. ;p
You indeed don't get Monad for free, we're in agreement.

To pick a use case dear to Rust, it's definitely the best way to e.g. write data structures that are parameterized over say Rc, Arc, or some Gc.

Again, I say "the best" with pedagogy and productivity in mind: the error messages are better and intent clearer with this mechanism over the associated type alternatives.

Dependency Management Best Practices
Over the past years I have started increasingly using paper for thinking - reading and writing. I have come to appreciate (fetishize?) the quality of wellmade paper products, the tactility and focus of them, even constraints like the higher demand on my memory or slowness of a paper dictionary in the long run have benefits. The computer is more practical and efficient but maybe often in the way fast food is. What am I doing on hackernews?

Yeah, I think your comment adds some interesting ideas.

Following the original chess comparisons, we could also say that new players will learn more and faster when given some models of what are good and bad moves, than if they need to learn from scratch with nothing else. Eventually they will outgrow that and their knowledge will exceed what can fit into a "mental model", but models are not useless. But still with chess, there's also the so called Kotov syndrome, which is "a situation when a player thinks very hard for a long time in a complicated position but does not find a clear path, then, running low on time, quickly makes a poor move, often a blunder". Overthinking, getting too deep into a certain path, can also be a problem. Intelligent people sometimes make obvious mistakes due to getting lost on deep thoughts. And this is a problem related to deep knowledge, not just models. Nothing is foolproof.

What I think is productive here is to distinguish between different types of models: if a model can help you acknowledge certain problems or patterns, that can be pretty useful; but if it tries to be the all-encompassing explanation to something, then it's probably wrong and might lead you the wrong way more often than not, constraining your vision instead of expanding it. You need experience to make good decisions, not just be given a model, but experience is also not enough or not always there, and models can help fill some of those gaps too.

Lawyer here. Your best bet is a friend's recommendation, backed up with at least there not being anything negative about them in terms of reviews online. Not every one of us pushes for positive reviews from clients, though, and for the most part you have to to get one, so don't make not having any reviews a dealbreaker. Also make sure they haven't been sanctioned, you can search your state's disciplinary records -- its all public.

If its for an issue that is niche, you should see if they have published in the area in question. Gives you a decent indication of their standing in that field.

Mathematicians are happy to make up names from words with little or no comprehensible connection to the concept, such as Ring, Field, Magma, Group.

Maybe I was mixing up names in my head, but I remember from 5~10 years back an Open[Something] (thought it was OpenCL) that in theory could transparently handle multithreaded code across single/dual/quad[0] core or GPGPU (either nvidia or AMD).

This is what I had in mind when I wrote "if Intel had given it good OpenCL support". Again, maybe I'm mixing things up in my head since my career never took me down that lane to write massively paralell code (though I am a user of it, indirectly, through deep learning frameworks).

You can think of life itself as future prediction. Living things predict that certain activities (photosynthesis, feeding) will generate energy so we do that. We predict that we better be here or avoid being there so we can keep predicting instead of being damaged and disappear. So we use that energy to move. And so on.

Actually, it will give some feedback... but will it give any VALUABLE feedback ? I mean: how is it better than any website scoring by Google, Yahoo and so ? How is "AI" better than some UI/UX human research and thinking ?

It looks like everybody is more or more tired of all the websites looking the same because of the "bootstrap"/"material" design. Your tool will only score any website against the tiring majority, so in fact I'm really not sure that it's such a good idea.

I think that a better - but really far more difficult - task would be to different and usable. But you can't achieve this only with "AI" on website: you need to add also some kind of graphic art knowledge and UX principles. Example: instead of considering a color scheme against what is used all over the place (hint: default bootstrap or default material), you should check color scheme against paintings or photographies, and score better what is "beautiful" AND original. Maybe you could add for example some link to kulers and that kind or color scheme design tool. THAT would make it a VALUABLE tool, because it would help the website to stand out and be usable...

Just my 2 cents
Wow.

I don't have the time for a more specific reply, but please understand that the epistemic uncertainty related to anthropology, evolutionary biology and psychology ought to be always high. This is very different from physical/natural sciences where a single experiment can often determine to very low epistemic uncertainty (or at least with bounded model error) some working model. This evidence may exist (say with uncontroversial genetic evidence and uncontroversial say neural models), but for most discussions in those fields it's usually not available (and would be very costly).

This is why you have to take it as an ongoing discussion and everything as a hypothesis. You can't say "Human language evolved to argue, not to make better decisions", or any similar assertions, with almost any certainty. It's a point of an ongoing conversation. The hypotheses themselves don't always lend themselves to formalization the same way as the natural sciences. Of course any science strives for as much precision as possible though! Simply in practice anthropological and psychological phenomena are even harder or impossible to formalize in the sense of mathematical precision, at least non-trivial observations; the little I understand of those fields they go to great lengths to reduce and communicate uncertainty (this includes History as well, where it seems a core concept of the canonical research methodology[1]).

Because part of the reason we develop those theories and those fields in those places is to better understand ourselves and put them to practical use, particularly in practical use (when thinking about thinking, or how to interact with people, etc.) this uncertainty shouldn't be forgotten -- more as an inspiration than strict guidelines for human behavior.

I took me a while to understand this, and the subtle differences between the different fields of study!

[1] In history research, I believe you rarely hear "Such and such happened..." (unless there's overwhelming evidence), and more likely hear "According to [e.g. some Greek historian] in [such account], such and such happened...", historical records are understood to be unreliable.

Yea, except direct democracy leads to government scope creep, if you want that, move to Europe and get nannied.

I don’t see us anywhere near a failed experiment and until anyone can make that case strongly, changing our fundamental structure is off the table. 3rd highest GDP per capita, most innovative country by far, extremely high tourism rate, most diverse country in multiple ways, consistently expanding healthcare / best cancer treatment the world / most innovative drug research, hugely successful progressive social movements, most philanthropic, cities that give the highest amounts of social welfare in per capita terms, you can go on.

Of course you can point out many bad things, but that doesn’t invalidate that it’s not failing, just that it’s not perfect - and to be honest, much of the failures to me look like local ones, not Federal ones. Take Chicago for example.

We need diversity of governance so we can find out what rule of law works best in the long run. Let Europe experiment with more direct democracy. Look at Singapore, Rwanda for the other side. Let the experiments run so long as they don’t trample on basic human rights. America is flawed, but for the same reason Google Chrome shouldn’t win out the browser wars, Representative Democracy should stay, it matches up well on the stats I care about, and it tends not to trample on freedoms nearly as much (something something three lions and a zebra).

My guess is that the ruling class of the US has been spoiled by the China's governance model and now wants the same here. They see USA v2 as one huge corporation: it's simply more efficient when the growth phase is over. Fed invests into the big corps to consolidate power. Some folks in the ruling class didn't like the idea and left the US to New Zealand and other places.

I'd also add that 25th and 75th year of every century are turning points: the sudden influx of ideas and highly capable people stirs the pot and pushes the progress forward. We're approaching the end of the age started in 1925: opportunities depleted, morale is low, cynical people extracting whatever valuable is left. 2025 is supposed to unlock new ideas and opportunities that'll set the trajectory for the next century.

This article does a good job of listing some of the common counter-arguments:

"1) Mass migration would create mass poverty. A popular one is that everyone from South America and Africa would move to the U.S., which would, in turn, become a poor country.

2) No developed nation would be able to afford the new demand for their welfare programs. How would they keep a quality health system or unemployment protection program in place?

3) Terrorism.

4) The receiving countries would risk losing their national culture."

But then it doesn't seem to address any of them! It just points people to an Amazon link to buy a book on the subject. Frankly, seems like pretty thin content marketing for this website.

Netgear isn't (wasn't?) really low-end though. At least not priced as such. One would think they'd be making enough without having to resort to such tactics.

You're right Ubiquiti did it though and I believe their devices are priced even higher. (Edit: note the post next to mine says you can opt out of this.)

I agree replacing the stock firmware with an open-source aftermarket one like OpenWRT is the way to go but there's still the moral dilemma of supporting such practices with your wallet.

I was also thinking if this could be an attempt to thwart the second-hand market for their devices? Is the binding to the online account permanent, or maybe it requires unbinding the previous account first?
As the article mentions, the name was already in decline well before Glitter was a factor. It just belongs to a certain tradition of English names that are slowly disappearing. Some of them disappear because they now sound pompous (like Harold), some because they sound too “vulgar” (which imho is the case for Gary). A lot of names survived only thanks to rigid traditions (“firstborn will have the grandparent’s name”) that have been slowly dismantled for a couple of generations.

If you really want to talk “infamous” names, you should pick the two classic examples: Adolf and Benito.
