Technology Interns in 2020: General Game Tech and Tooling-Infrastructure
It's not just the textbooks and lectures.

>Frequent in-person discussions between people with different opinions tends to make people compromise and find nuance more easily

Is there any reason to think this is the case? In my experience, in-person disagreements over 'big things' (be they politics or philosophy) either end in bitter disagreement, or what appears to be a compromise but actually isn't (because one or both parties do not wish to talk about the topic any more, before things get worse).

> However if one side of the discussion is self-censoring, then both sides will tend to develop extreme opinions without any means to tamper them.

This assumes that most disagreements are resolved when there is a difference of opinion. Personally, I rarely change my opinion after speaking to someone, and I instead change it when I do my own reading around topics. The fact is that it's awkward to ask 'what's your source for that?' in a conversation between friends. Either one or both parties don't care enough to provide a source, or it's impractical (such as at a dinner party).

To surmise, I'm questioning whether mere in-person disagreement really does tamper the essence of those extreme opinions, not merely the appearance presented to that particular conversation partner.

The opposite is certainly true today in corporate America and higher education. Making an argument for the existence of a biological basis for sex or denying that all whites are automatically racist is a no-go.

The ideas that the far left is trying to suppress are very much not conservative. It’s an assault on objectivity and rational thought.

There is a better, already-coined name for this: context collapse. Because everything is shared "globally" on social networks, we share less than in environments where we're with specific groups of people.
It doesn't have to be a valid reason. From the POV of a state that wants to micromanage the beliefs of its population, social benefits become a tool of coercion. This has happened before, the history of USSR has plenty of examples.

That's not an argument against state help & social services per se. It's an argument for being vigilant and ensuring the government serves the people more than it serves itself.

I don't think we have the right to decide who is a "chronic bad decision maker" and who is not. Does it matter? What exactly qualifies as "waste"? Do you have the right to decide what's wasteful and what's not? Ultimately that's what got us here in the first place: a welfare system that's woefully inefficient (because there's so much bureaucracy and red tape associated with using the money on the "right" things). Maybe we should just allocate a fixed national budget for social welfare, and distribute it equally to all takers. If you want to blow your $500 a month on booze.. why not? It's still good for the economy, and who knows, maybe you'll end up not blowing the money after a few months of agonizing hangover.

Of course a MIPS device is a lot more powerful than the ESP32.

I tried some games at https://tic80.com/play. Looks cool and I'm impressed by how many games there are. Two comments:

2. The keyboard controls don't always seem to register on my system (Chrome, MacOS). Or maybe it's just not obvious which keys to press. I tried playing two games, they loaded, music started, but I wasn't actually able to get to the point where I'm actually playing the game.

Please make the color themes work through the whole app. A dark sidebar is nifty and all, but when all other text boxes are stark white with black text it sort of defeats the purpose of having said color themes. I realize this is probably low-priority, but it is currently unusable for me.

Fair point. I wonder whether there are specific themes with developers at least because of the value of knowledge and trying to get as much of that out as possible. I was once told to write docs for 3 months and maybe 10% of them were actually useful but it made me think at least they got something out of it...
UMASS Amherst, an "experimental" elementary school for phycological observation. It's now no longer in operation, but for decades it was an elementary school with an upper "secret" corridor with two-way mirrors overlooking each classroom. The understanding between UMASS and Amherst was "We let you use the elementary school, we let our psych students take a look" type of thing.

Each classroom had a row of two-way mirrors about 30 feet overhead [weird architecture, nature of the beast] so even physically it was out-sight and out-mind because "nobody looks up".

> Does that make them bad employers? I would expect it to be quite logical that employers want to hire the best workers, where the 'best' is those who can process the most items.

Sure, if by "most items" you really meant "most items at a sustainable rate that won't cause long-term injury, for enough hours to qualify for benefits such as health insurance at a pay-scale sufficient to live on, on a schedule that allows taking care of non-work obligations, etc. "

Instead, businesses are optimized to hire those who can do the most for the least pay, are desperate enough to not complain about the working conditions, and burn them out without much concern over any externalities.

Particularly galling to me are the "35 hours a week is a part-time job that doesn't qualify for health benefits" (which makes it very difficult to get and keep a second job), and the "we pay in 15m increments rounded down just to make sure you aren't a full time employee" dodges.

> "Privacy is the right to be human" are both great, relatable, non-controversial, and easy to understand.

And misleading. Privacy in private interactions (personal or closed groups) is basic human right. But in public interactions (public space or open groups) the concept of privacy is much more problematic. One can argue for less accountability for social progress, another for more accountability to weed-out bad actors.

Seems to me that using word 'privacy' for both of these different concepts is source of confusion. Perhaps we should limit term 'privacy' for private interactions and use some other (like 'non-accountability') for public ones.

Seems like you're concerned about what's mostly a hypothetical when done by the state today- but probably hundreds of millions of people in the US alone are being coerced to do things they don't want to under threat of losing the exact things you're worried about. And in a lot of cases, what's one big thing mitigating that coercion? The very social safety nets you're worried about!
The ad/marketing driven economy is based on something simpler: consumers don't have any money, but corporations do. So you don't sell to consumers. You sell stuff at break even or a loss or even give it away to consumers and then sell the consumers to those who actually will pay.

The dominance of this kind of surveillance capitalist or ad-saturated model everywhere is a side effect of extreme wealth inequality and a generally demand constrained economy.
> afford used Chrysler cars

> In the 40s-60s stuff was built to last.

On the surface, I assign this to nostalgia and maybe survival bias;

Automobiles alone provide an example where, in the the 80s, Japanese manufacturers began dumping automobiles in the the U.S. market (and making cheap quality products in the U.S. in the 90s) where the base model could last 2-3x as many miles as the prior domestics (GM, Chryslers).

I also make this statement with a 25 year old refrigerator, washer, and dryer) and a 16 year old luxury import automobile with 180k miles on the original clutch (that I bought used) and have spent very little on preventative maintenance on.

*Side anecdote on cars and unwise subscription to brand loyalty. A 1989 Mazda (made in Japan) that I bought used in 2005, had more security (key encoding, immobilizer) features than two friend's 10+ year newer Chryslers that were stolen in ~2010
Google was founded on the answer on how do you deduce the value of a site based on an ecosystem of personal pages around it. (Blogs are simply what replaced personal pages later.)

> someone saying that describing software as "sexy" is sexist and contributes to women not wanting to work in tech jobs. I think you're painting a rosy picture where people are only upset at actual hate groups, and not using whatever benign words the "allies" have decided are unacceptable.

And I think _you're_ painting a picture wherein "people who are amplifying minority perspectives in order to help society be more inclusive" are in fact nefariously scheming to control a cultural narrative for...reasons?

There is certainly a line beyond which "Excessive Political Correctness" is unreasonable, unhelpful, unproductive, and disconnected from actual people's experiences. But the latter of these examples, at least, strikes me as a perfectly reasonable piece of feedback. I don't personally find the former to be offensive, but at the same time - I have no reason to disagree with the person making that claim. If they're offended by it, that is a _fact_. It's up to me whether I choose to act on that fact. Personally, I don't consider the words "idiot" or "sexy" to be important enough to insist upon using them, when others have told me that the usage hurts them.

Say that someone is intentionally misrepresenting the situation, and is trying to pressure you into stopping using a particular word even though no-one is truly hurt or impacted by it. What's the failure case if you listen to them? You stop using a word. Big whoop. What's the failure case if you _don't_ listen to them? You continue to hurt and offend people. This seems both more likely and more impactful than the other failure case - so, to me, the choice is clear.
I would be very interested in seeing some sources about "at scale" UBI corresponding to a drop in GDP.

> actually makes sense for life-and-death fields such as automotive/medical.

I cannot imagine a worse idea.

IoT devices are the richest source of hosts available for botnet operators to compromise because they are numerous and famously insecure. Today it's lightbulbs and security cameras. Tomorrow you wish it to be pacemakers and Toyotas?

We already know it is functionally impossible to write bug-free code which is also useful. We also know that attackers relentlessly probe systems until (that is a _when_, not an _if_) a weakness is found to exploit to gain control of that device. It is possible to write provably-correct code, but so far only for somewhat trivial applications.

Until this fundamental problem of software security can be solved, an air gap is the _only_ reliable thing that can protect life-critical software from external remote attack.
The whole idea is to make the downvoted comment less accessible, predicated on the idea that the readers don't want to read it. Evidence supporting that idea that they don't want to read it is the fact that they downvoted it (or rather those representatives among the readership who are able to downvote chose to do so).

Though I agree that HN is rife with examples of poor contrast. For instance, when you are looking at a submission's comments, the submission title at the top is in poor contrast.

Speed is comparatively easy for electric propulsion -- on land (Tesla) or air (here).

Range is quite another issue. A Cesna 172 has a 1,289 km range, four times the Rolls-Royce prototype, and carries more than just the piolot and fuel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_172#Specifications_(172...

For both land and air, total payload is another hard limit. Tesla achieves admirable results for a passenger vehicle by using high energy/volume and energy/mass batteries integrated into the vehicle structure itself. Battery EV trucks have had range limits of measured in single-digit kilometers. Their fuel-based counterparts exceed four digits (1,000 km). Accellerating, decellerating, and managing mass costs joules.

>“How is math manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist?”

That doesn't seem like injecting ethnic studies into math to me.

In fact, I think this is an excellent type of question. Schools should be teaching more critical thinking exactly like this, in every domain. For example, manipulation of scales, axes, statistical bias, and mathematical context are one of the key tools that people like climate change deniers use to spread their propaganda. Mathematics education should be about more than just handraulically banging out a bunch of long division. Interpretation and context are key underpinnings of mathematics.
