It's hard to tell exactly what the article is arguing for. I don't know what the status quo on traffic control is for Mexico City.

I know some big cities have all their lights on a set schedule. Some big cities have a fully integrated system where intersections communicate and predict arrivals to one intersection based on exits from another.

I think the researcher is suggesting that prediction is too difficult to make good results from fixed scheduling or communicating intersections, and that instead, each intersection should adapt to its local sensors. That can include bike detectors and pedestrian buttons.

I think this idea generally works. I've seen lots of traffic signals that respond to cars, bikes, and pedestrians (via button, sadly, I've never seen an inductive loop detector in a sidewalk, would have to be sensitive to count a person). You get better results if you can put sensors a bit back from the intersection to determine queue length, although that adds some expense. It's also nice if traffic controls can be placed into an event mode to help traffic disperse from things like sporting events, commuter trains, and ferries; at least for a few intersections around the site, adaptation may not be enough if there's steady cross traffic, during the event, it may be more efficient to make cross traffic wait longer than normal reasonable limits, or add a cycle for all direction walking, so pedestrians can make diagnol crossings more easily, etc.

Cars idling at a stop light when there's no conflicting traffic (including bikes and peds) is bad for everyone, not just cars. Reducing that is good for everyone, at least in the small --- as the article mentions, improved traffic conditions may encourage more driving, which may not be beneficial for bikes and peds.

You’d be amazed how fast it comes back. I hadn’t used French in over a decade last time I went to France. In the taxi to our hotel I could barely string two words together. Ten days later in the one to the airport I was having a real conversation, if with terrible grammar and poor vocabulary.
YouTube's great auto sub for English really helps me to understanding and learning English. I wish such quality is available for other langs.
I think when writing a programming tutorial for kids, you need to know for which age it is intended. 4 years ago, I was giving a course for 7/8 yrs old and there I was using 'makecode' [0]; IDE in browser, no installation needed, also dedicated to mirco:bit. It also offers a lot of tutoring materials. Coding is done in either code-blocks, which I used for the kids who just learned writing and reading, or with source code, which of course is suited to older ones.

The mu-IDE would not be my choice for teaching children, tbh.

I'd be very surprised if some grammar wasn't taught at all. Formal writing in the UK would be in an absolute state of disarray if this were true.

The US teaches most terms. It's pretty important to know what prepositions are, and how adjectives and adverbs differ. Lots of more complex topics do come up, but kids don't listen. It's not immediately applicable to their life so it goes in one ear and out the other. Plenty of people say also schools need to teach how to balance a checkbook and teach some basic finance. They do--but kids aren't paying attention, because no 5th grader should be out there balancing checkbooks for quite a few years, and no kid really cares what a "preposition" is either until they're learning another language or trying to improve their writing and suddenly need to dig back into those memory banks.

But people who say to not study grammar usually don't make progress. What's worse is some people say "don't worry. Our language has no grammar." Every language has some basic rules to learn. The problem is some textbooks heavily front load some formal grammar because a lot of adult learning materials are focused on business usage, and they come with the implication that somehow a person is going to go from zero to handling diplomatic meetings in a month.

Japanese textbooks are notoriously bad for emphasizing very formal speech (sometimes even excessively formal speech) before delving into more casual stuff that people will use 90% of the time. Then you meet a person and the grammar you've studied doesn't align with most of what's immediately practical, and it's easy to conclude it "doesn't matter".

> making text larger is pretty much the only thing left

Wikiwand doesn't "make the text bigger". It leaves the text size alone. I've already mentioned this more than once. cf cr.yp.to, danluu.com.

> I'm just pointing out that expecting people to [set the font-size] makes no sense unless they are a power user.

I don't know what you think I'm saying. I'm not talking about power users. I'm saying that Wikipedia shouldn't be injecting rules for small font sizes in the main content. Everyone can leave the font size alone. Wikipedia cramming thousands of lines of CSS down the tubes, where the incorrect font size is among them, is like people who say "backslash" when dictating a URL—they're going out of their way and getting it wrong.

Exactly! How much effort has been spent on UI kits already and we still have very few options, most as you say, half-finished!

If only people had as much energy to help finish/improve existing, usable UI kits instead of re-inventing their own just for the glory of it.

I have no doubt this effort will end up in the same exact way as the xi-editor (https://raphlinus.github.io/xi/2020/06/27/xi-retrospective.h...) - a Rust text editor - did: huge amounts of work spent reinventing the wheel, one or two minor original contributions, but ultimately, ending far short of its goals and not delivering anything.
I think most people would just inline images rather than going through the process to create a font. That's not to say what you said doesn't happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Unicode_Font_Initiati...

I also thought it was a bit funny that the parent poster cited an $8k purchase in a discussion about poverty. But either you're being a bit disingenuous yourself here or else you are similarly out of touch. Since you should know one can get a well-functioning used car for a lot less than that.

You are right about people confusing causality and correlation.

You are wrong about people being good at finding correlations.
I rarely met people who can process a sufficiently large sample size in their memory to calculate any significant correlation results. Whereas guessing correlations from charts exposes you to a number of optical illusions, which will fool the brain into seeing things that don't exist.

There may be a propensity to make more type 2 errors and see correlations between any random things such as 5G and COVID, but I haven't seen any research on that.

This is huge! Does anyone know if Apple is able to ship updated software to patch this? I thought the T2 was fairly isolated from the rest of the system. If it’s not easy to fix OTA, this will be really painful for security.

There is a solution to many of the issues highlighted in the article, and that is to drop judgementalism and bias altogether, as individuals and as society.

That will get us to the point where your personality quirks, likes and dislikes, gender expression and sexual orientation, etc., have no impact on your career prospects, social integration prospects, and your ability to participate in society in general.

Retreating back into the privacy bubble is not an option. We need to go in the opposite direction, and put it all out there. When being completely naked, completely transparent becomes the new normal, compassion and empathy will well up in society to an extent never before experienced. We will all see that the emperor of social pretense and conformity never had any clothes, and this will be a watershed moment in how people relate to each other.

Are the any professional linguists in this thread?

Reason I ask is I have become very interested in the origin of languages over the last year or so (partially because of Covid). I've been learning German and French for a while now and I find the most difficult parts of learning these languages to be the grammar. I'd like to find a hierarchy of grammar for related languages, and see if there are some patterns that filter down through the child languages. I have a Latin textbook (probably need to dust that off), and am very interested in how these languages (Romance and Germanic) are all stitched together.
Performance Tracking Mouth Guard
It seems inconsistent to claim both
a) this proposal/implementation has bad ergonomics and doesn't solve real problems, and
b) the library ecosystem will become irreparably fragmented as library authors rush to incorporate it or provide linear forks.

Surely if enough people are expending the effort to bring -XLinearTypes to a non-trivial portion of the extant Haskell universe, it is by definition both useful and at least somewhat ergonomic?
I'm honestly really excited by this. Airtable transformed my spreadsheet experience, and I've long wished for something I can self host locally to be able to store more sensitive data (like bank statements).
> I don’t even know what the relation between probability and statistics is

That's a great question, and I think the lines are more than a little blurry.

My attempt at an answer would be:

Probability: Given a set of dice and coins and an order for rolling and throwing them, what is the chance of a specific outcome?

Statistics: Given a set of outcomes, what dice where rolled?

So if you want to know if smoking kills, you tally up medical history, and use statistics to see if there is a relationship between smoking and dying.

If you want to know the probability of smoking killing you, you look at the risc each cigarette brings to the table and tally it up using probability theory.

Hm not exactly what I tried to convey. I guess I would love if python stopped trying to add new syntax so often.

The fact that Apple uses this chip to, among other things, block "unauthorized repair" (can't change a freaking SSD in 2020, really), makes me very happy that people are finding ways to break this chip to make repairs more accessible.

On the other hand, this could have serious implications on the iOS security model for example.

Linear types let you ensure resource cleanup; files flushed/closed, memory freed, radiation-emitter disabled. That's why even in safe Rust code, it's possible to leak memory, and for the program to e.g. shut down without calling the "switch off the radiation emitter" destructor on a medical device.

Thanks for your reply. The first part, although mostly true (axiomatization isn't new and Kant was well aware of Euclid), is wholly irrelevant so I'll comment on the second part.

None of this contradicts the synthetic apriori of mathematics, in fact Kant's critique strictly tells you that analysis IS possible and guarantees its legitimacy. I would look to Wittgenstein and Godel for that expounded application of the transcendental idealism.
Yeah I think we picked poorly (the plumber recommended this one). Maybe there's a valve we can tweak a bit somewhere, I should look into it.
Oh I re-read the comment again and realized they are suggesting part-time lower-income PLUS paternal leave higher-income. That's weird on multiple levels: You want, as you said, optimise for total income; and you want to spend as much uninterrupted time with your kid as possible.

Rather, I have a colleague who took paternal leave with their partner and afterwards switched to part-time for a bit.

Exactly. Recently complained about the same with other "analytics" packages pushed on HN. If you cannot get actionable results from an analytics package, it's only a 90ies visitor counter in disguise with some fancy graphics. Some of the stuff which is important for analytics can ONLY be tracked via JavaScript.

Truly privacy friendly, preferrably self hosted analytics, is possible, though.

Matomo finally is "there", though, with funnels, form analytics and the like, though of course, you can easily cross the line there, too, and then mainly gained decentralization, but not truly privacy.
