> They might have great designs but they haven't matured their processes. They haven't spent years fine tuning their QA processes so these things slip through

They’ve been around a while now, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. I think at this point the obvious conclusion is that they just don’t care. Like, it’s not like Toyota locks their process engineers in a basement. If they wanted to hire experts it’s just a question of money.

This seems likely to go badly for them as competition heats up.
> its actually cheaper than competing pro monitors

I mostly agree with you, but Dell has an 8K monitor (albeit fugly in comparison) for around $3500 including stand (if memory serves).
Tinnitus is not necessarily caused by one specific thing - for instance, it can be from:

- Hearing loss and/or age

- Blood pressure

- TMJ (jaw/dental issues)

- Posture issues

There's a company in Ireland (Neuromod, I think) that has a product like this that seems to be able to work for some tinnitus sufferers, but not all - possibly owing to the differing types. FX322 is a hearing-loss drug that works via stem cells and has shown promising results in treating the hearing loss angle.

If yours is TMJ or blood pressure, though... you need an entirely different plan of attack.

Posting this comment mostly because I really get tired of reading threads where this isn't acknowledged; no one cure fits all. I've had it since I was a child and while habituation does factor in slightly, I think wider understanding of this all needs to be out there.
Agreed. Anyone can learn a language. It's not even just time, but keeping up the streak and motivation. Learn a little per day, keep up at it, and you'll progress at an N + 1 level. I think it's important people don't burn out, and find outlets in which they can practice.

Reddit has always leaned incredibly liberal, that's not new. But some of the most active subs sport borderline extremism for conservatives as well - and that viewpoint would be shared and upvoted plenty, just like ACAB or sympathizing with Chris Dorner will rise to the top of /r/politics.

Online communities without moderation exist, and they're usually cesspools. I don't think they'll catch on like reddit did.
Your comment would be better if you could explain why you think it is wrong, rather than merely making an empty assertion. I think you are just misinterpreting the analysis. It says "Option B still gets you the car 90% of the time", and Option B entails switching. Do you read it differently?
Because it really centers on the initial premise: Monty will always open a goat door after your choice, no matter what.

So, you make a totally random choice. That choice must be 1/3 right, right? Now the thing that you already knew would definitely happen happens: Monty opens a goat door. How can your odds suddenly jump to 1/2?

Are you saying every single time you play the game, you always have a 1/2 chance of getting it right first time?

Not a fan of this order. I'm no expert on the Seth Rich insanity, but my understanding is that this account was basically just a scam artist or prankster. It claimed some stuff, and then when the Fox reporter took the bait provided some fabricated documents.

This isn't a criminal suit. It's a civil thing having to do with Fox's behavior. And their failure to validate their sources and documents isn't really related to the original identity of those sources. I mean, we don't know who @whyspertech is, Fox certainly didn't know who @whyspertech was. No one knew. So why is it relevant for us to know now to determine whether or not Fox was at fault?
Well, I built exactly that thing at cyberparty.io!

The video is 320x240 and one stream is about 600 kbit/s and audio is another 30 kbit/s.

So yeah, that works fine for a few users that have maybe 5 mbit/s upstream.
My position is that the preprocessor (at least as far as textual substitution macros are concerned) was a mistake even considering the technical limitations of the time, unlike features like raw pointers, abundance of undefined behavior, void, etc., that are bad right now but were completely understandable (and likely even better than any other realistic alternative) at the time.

constexpr + inline would have covered 99% of the macro use cases. Alternatively, a limited system of AST rewriting wouldn't have been significantly harder to write than cpp and would have achieved many of the same goals.

As a totally random, non-factual, non-argumentative guess that could be 100% wrong, I believe the idea of the preprocessor was influenced by the general 'unix philosophy' principle that everything should be treated as text.
I think one way people get it wrong is by arguing from symmetry; if I choose 1 and 3 is shown to be a goat, then that's the same as choosing 2 and being shown 3 is a goat.

So what's the diff?

Which is wrong but seductive.
This goes across other topics too.. Most people don't like being corrected or being wrong because of their ego.

So in a new, different, and entirely unrelated thought experiment:

You pick a door. Monty picks another door at random - he has clearly committed to doing so, flips a coin in front of you or whatever. God only knows what would have happened if he'd revealed a car, but this time he didn't. Having found yourself in that situation, what are your odds if you switch doors?

If you simulate this procedure, you'll find that the number of outcomes where "switch" wins is about 1/3 of the total games; "stick" wins in about 1/3 of the total games; and 1/3 of the total games Monty revealed the car. When Monty does pick the goat reliably, as in the Monty Hall Problem as it was intended to be understood, Monty is doing the work to convert those "revealed" games into wins for "switch".

If you disagree, I'll happily take your money.
I am less certain that Fox didn't know who @whyspertech was.
You’re forgetting about the possibility of being in a universe where Monty only opens a door if you chose the correct door originally (otherwise he does something else like ending the game). If you know nothing about the rule set of the game show, Monty opening the door tells you nothing and you have no reason to either switch or not switch.
I was classically trained on the piano as a child and detested every second of it. I later discovered blues and jazz and it renewed my interest in piano. Even later I dated a woman who played and loved classical piano and I discovered a universe of beautiful music I'd previously dismissed.

So, I'm not so sure it has to do with how we teach music. But rather when we teach what kinds of music.
No wonder it runs so cool. That thing is an absolute unit of a box. It does give off that "premium product" feel, though, even to someone who's never owned a console and probably won't buy one. The fact that the stand has a screw holder, rotates closed, and comes with a plug for the whole shows a lot of thought.
Indeed. It's like the argument that you may as well believe in God, because if he doesn't exist it doesn't hurt you.

That said, though, if you're trying to convince someone of the correctness of the Monty Hall Problem, and they're stuck on that misconception, saying "well you may as well switch in case I'm right" isn't a great argument.
I went to an audiologist and an MD for my spontaneously developed tinnitus in my 30s. They did a hearing test, asked a couple of questions that didn't apply to me and they both said "I dunno why you have it" and were fairly useless.

The only hint was a dip in a hearing chart, which wasn't big enough to be considered hearing loss or otherwise. This list alone is a better list of potential causes than those useless doctors.
This relates to one of my favorite wikipedia pages: The Timeline of the Far Future.

The relevant part is at the end. Essentially, given enough time, quantum effects will result in an entire new universe spontaneously popping into existence. That time is ~10^(10^(10^56)).[0]

But, the number of ways that all particles in the universe can be arranged is only ~10^(10^115). That number is much smaller than the time to just go 'pop, new universe'. So, the much larger number also becomes about the time it takes to just have a new universe identical to our current one just go 'pop, new universe'.

The other entries in that article are just as joyously mind-bending. I really really love that page!

[0] Side note: The time for a 'Boltzmann Brain' (a consciousness that just floats in the infinite void thinking away, somehow) to spontaneously appear is only ~10^(10^50).

> You can take the same rules about hollywood union rules forcing lighting technicians and camera crew to have roles, even though the big expensive and hot lights they used to safeguard are long since gone.

I don't know. That reasoning sounds a bit like saying you don't need software engineers anymore because your application runs on a microcomputer, not a mainframe. I'm sure there's more to a lighting technician's role than "hold lights because they're hot."

> Last year corridor crew did a video where niko broke down how much money he could save by moving to LED lights and cutting the mandatory crew requirement and run small films at affordable prices.

Bosses don't like unions, and if you take the perspective of a boss, you probably won't like them either. What else is new?

> Everybody thinks they're the actor in the hollywood comparison, and they're not. They're more likely the tech guy holding an outdated lamp under union rules.

It beats getting dumped onto the street and pivoting suddenly into burger flipping. The point of unions is to protect its workers, not minimize employer costs. If a job is becoming truly obsolete, then the union could force the employer to retrain their workers (like what happened in this video: https://vimeo.com/127605643) or buy time for a more gradual transition.

Heck, if workers trusted they weren't going to get screwed by labor saving technology, they might not resist it as much.
The structural problem is that the impersonator's identity is irrelevant. Q himself, if revealed to be some kid in their parents' basement, would still be treated as a hero by the true believers.

> Nerd is somebody that even if he/she would like to take part in the contest they value other, more intellectual exercises

No, nerds are the people who lost the general popularity contest and then started one in a parallel universe. Almost nobody is more competitive about status than subcultures internally, almost like a middle-finger towards society at large.

This shows in video game competitions, programming language and editor wars, literal startup company competitions. I mean nobody is more vicious in their status fight than the stereotypical nerd-turned-techbro fighting for the attention they didn't get in high school. A lot of famous tech people literally fight like they went into a sort of delayed puberty in their 20s and 30s.

This comes through not just in this essay but a lot of Paul Graham stuff, the kind of "you bullied us in high school and now we're rich!" subtext.

I’m excited for new battery tech, almost entirely due to my niche interest in powered paragliding.

Electric paramotors require a lot less maintenance than their gas-powered counterparts, which need servicing after every 10 hours of flight. I’d love to buy one, but I am not interested in becoming a two-stroke mechanic.

One of the big names in the sport has said that his only reservation to recommending electrics is their flight time, currently about 45 minutes vs 1.5 hours for gas.

This advance, assuming these motors use lithium batteries, which I haven’t checked, bumps them up to 2h 15m on one charge and makes them more compelling. I thought I’d have to wait a decade to get this kind of gain, so this is pretty awesome news.

Sure, here's the simulation. There are only six distinct cases, so we can "simulate" it exhaustively, and a Monte Carlo will approximate this.

Let "A", "B", and "C" represent the prizes; A is valuable, B and C are goats. They're shuffled behind doors, so the player and Monty choose "1" or "2" or "3", and after the fact we'll map ABC to 123. As such, we can assume without loss of generality that the player always chooses "1" and Monty always chooses "2".

What happens?

123
ABC - player was right at first, so they lose if they switch
ACB - player was right at first, so they lose if they switch
BAC - player was wrong, Monty chooses 2 which is the car, so the game is ruined
BCA - player was wrong, Monty finds a goat, player wins if they switch.
CAB - player was wrong, Monty chooses 2 which is the car, so the game is ruined
CBA - player was wrong, Monty finds a goat, player wins if they switch.

Huh. Of the 4 non-ruined games, half of them are improved by switching, half are worsened.

I believed you were wrong, but now I believe you.
This site seems to make a big deal about not following standard terms for Japanese grammar, eg. calling 形容詞 "na-nouns" instead of "na-adjectives" and 形容動詞 "i-verbs" instead of "i-adjectives".

It's rather unclear to me why? I get that if you only speak English it may seem weird to you that some adjectives are conjugated (akai "red", akakunai not red), but I'm not sure calling them "verbs" is particularly helpful.

So if that happens, embrace the touchscreens then? I mean, in the 90s, Microsoft was pretty hung ho about having voice as the main interface to computers in the near future. They kept the keyboard, which, given the history of early noughties voice recognition, was probably just as well.

When I first heard about the problem, I struggled with the seemingly 50/50 chances. either you picked the right door and now switch and lose, or you picked a wrong door and switch and win. Switching seemed a zero sum game.

The explanation that works best for me is that you were more likely to have picked a wrong door in the first place, so while the impacts are opposite equals, the likelihoods are not equivalent.
I see two faults. A prankster, who I believe should be uncovered, and that goes to the nature of anonymous communications in the commons, and I know its complex, and that the channels are not always "the commons" as we used to understand them.

And, it goes to Fox being a non-journalist non-news agency which should be de-listed in any structural sense, since they are incapable of displaying what true journalism is.

You seem to want to address the second. No problem, but I don't think that invalidates the first. I want to know who this is. I want to know who Q is. I want to know who the White House Deep Throat is. I am tired of anonymous sources.

Funny you should mention that as it's exactly what I've had problems with. Even though Debian and Ubuntu use the same package model/format but having separate repositories use differently made packages with varying default settings for example. Because of this I've found that less popular software in Debian repositories are less crowd-tested. Flatpack fixes this. I would like to freely choose the best package and use it on the best distribution for my purposes.
