I’m sorry for being dense, but I don’t quite understand the issue.

From the workflow of downloading Anki and adding to the default deck, how do the settings and knobs factor into it?

I’m not here to just argue. I am legitimately interested. I just don’t want to assume too much.
That kind of tool is useful too, but for different purposes. Precomp lets you recover the original compressed data stream byte-for-byte, not just a differently compressed version of the same uncompressed data.

Sounds vaguely familiar, and indeed I had bokmarked a site which did this exactly (just more elaborate, IIRC was built as a complete tutorial). Site (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7450528) is dead now unfortunately, would have been good to get inspiration from. https://learngitbranching.js.org is still alive though.
Without linking to the actual questions and the data, this is yellow journalism. In one paragraph, it is “self or family member”, but in the next paragraph, it becomes "50 per cent of respondents in urban Rajasthan admitted to practising untouchability". This is the same kind of yellow journalism that in the US lead to prominent figures touting "one in five women on college campuses is raped". There is no epidemic of rape in US college campuses either.

I asked you how often you get asked for your caste, which you did not answer. I have a few very visibly brahmin colleagues. When we work together, they don't discriminate against any of my colleagues or me. When we go for team outings, they don't go to restaurant kitchens and ask the cooks and waiters for their caste, and more often than not, the restaurant serves meat.
Do you ever find yourself going back to something you used to know well, only to find that you're now a bit rusty? In theory, spaced repetition would allow you to keep that knowledge from getting stale.

I think you'll find you learn new things quicker with judicious use of spaced repetition. As a bonus, you'll never forget those things as long as you maintain the habit. And we're all always learning, so that shouldn't be hard.

I do think the hardest part of spaced repetition use outside of the classroom is choosing what to memorize. In school, those decisions are made for you. I find it easy to bite off too much and start memorizing minutiae of a technology instead of the essential items. But I think it's just another skill to master.
Yes in this case it can be seen as a necessary but not sufficient condition.
Apparently it is relatively easy to control this virus during the summer, and almost impossible during the winter. Australia's summer seems to be helping it a good deal, even as winter in the northern hemisphere is making things much worse.

One of the things that's always thrown me off about the LessWrong community (I assume this article is adjacent to it because of the mention of Yudkowsky and the "I too have cognitive biases" confession) is that members supposedly strive to be aware of their own biases, but often seem extremely hostile to people with differing opinions. For instance, the reaction this article to the author's friends disinterest isn't for the author to question their own beliefs, but to complain about their friends not seeing the truth.

I'm often left with the impression that discussion of biases for many ironically becomes a way to reinforce biases. I've even seen people argue as much - "I'm aware of my biases, and you're not, which is why I'm correct, and you're wrong."

You are still disadvantaged against nature. We know that being more outdoors and having your windows more open is helping to reduce infections, but when you are entering Winter then a lot of the knowledge we have won’t stop the fact that infections will still rise due to the change in our behaviour in cold weather. It’s just a fact of life, the entire world sees infection spikes of other viruses (flu and so on) in Winters and therefore it’s not helpful to make sarcastic finger pointing comments when we all have accepted this as a fact of life and know this is just how it is.

It's a good tool for learning natural languages especially if you cannot practice with native speakers every day.

I agree with you that for knowledge you need everyday it is better to just learn on the job. The relevant knowledge will stick/you can note it down in a cheat sheet if needed. There's just not enough time to learn the full feature set of a programming language, you won't need most of it anyway and you will be a better programmer by reading existing code and writing code yourself, which incidentally is similar to how best to learn a natural language (listening and speaking)
No, it has validity anywhere, unless your implication is that in the USA any human can get behind the wheel of a car and legally drive. The whataboutism "argument" I was replying has no merit and neither does yours, or at the very least you haven't thought it out properly. I'd like to see any self driving car navigate Indian traffic and after that you tell me if it's safer.

Even a student driver is capable of navigating more complex traffic than the AP after just a few days or weeks of practicing. And at the end of that practice is a test that the AP would fail. After so many years the "FSD" AP still barely manages the most basic of driving feats, expected from a human before they get the driver's license.
Historically, there has been a number of ideas proposed. Many different variants of subchains and sidechains, different types of payment channels, ecash systems and so on.

The idea that someone discovered these in 2017 seems oblivious to what actually happened. Support for payment channels with nLockTime was likely influential for implementing transactions with smart contracts in the first place. It was there from the first Satoshi release, and payment channels was described already in 2013. It probably wasn't first on the list of things to fix as long as transactions were heavily subsidized by inflation.

The classification is done because rogue planets etc. tell us things about the process of solar system and planetary formation. Yeah nature tends to have a continuum of things, but the classifications are primarily used as place holders so that people know what everyone's talking about.

> the low-caste Indians who converted to Islam to get out of the caste system

Sadly Muslims were not much better in this regard and created their own caste system of sorts, with descendants of foreign invaders given more status than descendants of local converts (Afghan good, Middle Eastern better), who were assumed to be low-caste fleeing oppression for that specific reason. I've heard the same from a Christian Indian from Mangalore. Perhaps that's why Dr. Ambedkar opted for Buddhism rather than Islam or Christianity as his recommended path forward for the Dalits (former untouchables).

I disagree with your characterisation as "horseshit" -- although eleven of the characters were subsequently located in other texts, these texts are different from the sources that were supposedly cited when they were input into JIS C 6226 in 1978 [1]. Of the twelve characters cited as "ghost characters", nine of them had claimed sources, but on further investigation were not in the claimed sources or were data entry errors of similar characters in those sources, while three did not have any claimed sources, of which two were later found in other texts (and one of those is believed to be an error), and 彁 has never been located in any text predating its input into JIS C 6226.

Exceptions are about control flow. Nulls and undefined are about types. The flow generally continues on with the latter. So I’m wondering what the term is for when you have a whole slew of invalid types but continue on without any exception handling and instead handle it via type systems.

I think we've all found ourselves looking up a command line option for that one bash utility for the upteenth time. Throw it in a flash card and never look it up again. The same with text editor shortcuts, API's, etc.

My shop teacher would tell us to write down when we needed to borrow a tool. If we had to borrow a tool twice, it was time to go and buy it. I think the same rule is useful for spaced repetition. Even if you'd learn it eventually by regular use, once you have it in Anki you'll never forget it, even if you spend a couple years away from that particular technology. When you come back, you'll still have those configuration flags at the tip of your fingers.
I also use Anki daily. Just off the top of my head:

- The UI is an ugly light gray with too much text. I'd make the design far more minimal.

- Too much of a focus on text. Video, audio and GIFs should be more integrated into cards, especially for stuff like foreign languages.

- Way too many options: note types, sort fields, tags, on and on. I've been using Anki for years and I don't even know what half of these things do.

- The entire process of adding cards is confusing and not immediately obvious. There's not even a tutorial.

- Premade decks have zero quality control and you have to go looking for them online.

- Above all, Anki just looks and feels like a chore. When I show it to people (like OP), the overwhelming reaction is always, "Meh." There's nothing exciting, beautiful or futuristic about it.
We did this and it is really great. I can understand that you don’t want to do this in a dysfunctional team or in an organization that has a broken culture (not feeling save to share personal stuff for me implies a fundamental flaw).

Of course if done right, nobody is forced to do this. But it is a great experience for the team to get more effective in working together and also reduce possible conflict.
Good question!

So far just context dependent. If the target is csv, generally just “”. If JSON, one of the existing types. If DSL, a discrete term from a custom grammar.

> A number of states have towing laws that require reporting any towed vehicle to the state within an hour.

This is a start but not near enough. In many states the tow company isn't required to take photos or produce any kind of proof that the car deserved to be towed. In my experience they just lie to the police about why they stole your car, and the police will vehemently argue that car theft is a civil matter and not a crime.

The story behind the MP3 audio compression algorithm, including this tidbit:

So Mr. Brandenberg gets a copy of the song, and puts it through the newly created MP3. But instead of the “warm human voice” there are monstrous distortions, as though the Exorcist has somehow gotten into the system, shadowing every phrase. They spend months refining it, running “Tom’s Diner through the system over and over again with modifications, until it comes through clearly.

Which is to say, to song was copied, again and again, in its entirety, in order to perfect the algorithm.

A practice today which would all but certainly ressult in copyright violation claims against the developer.
I did not cared about Git, Mercurial was my friend, until I got dragged into Git.

You're assuming that we can distinguish between map and territory and science is definitively proving we cannot. See Dr. Robert Sapolsky on behavior as an example.[1] And philosophers like Kant speculate it's map all the way down, so to speak. That perspective is very compatible with everything we know about the world and ourselves. You'll need extraordinary evidence to prove you have a handle on what territory is. Because at this juncture pointing to anything as territory is an extraordinary claim.

And sure, instead of legal classifications, one can discuss ethics related examples. Such as what makes for the good life? Something as simple as saying, the good life is based on some common sense notion of good or the good life is different for everyone and dependent on unique personal circumstances, already assigns numerous categories implicitly. That doesn't mean that both of those notions of the good life cannot be right. It does mean that we need categories to discuss and reconcile their differences, if we wish to have a pluralistic and liberal [in the 19th century sense of the word] society.

This is already well beyond what's possible for a dead language. It's not even possible for living languages, although in that case we can draw empiric conclusions.

I've been interested for a long time in the question of how we can determine how a language divides up the space of possible sounds. For example, English [θ] (the sound at the beginning of "thick") is perceived by Mandarin speakers as being the sound [s] (as in "sick"). It is perceived by Cantonese speakers as being [f] (as in "fickle").

The sounds [s] and [f] are both phonemic in both Mandarin and Cantonese. But something about the phonology of each pushes the sound [θ] into one category or the other. The choice is not arbitrary; it is quite consistent across speakers of each language.

To the best of my knowledge, we have no way to answer the question "how would language X categorize sound Y?" other than experimentation, which is impossible with a dead language. But it is a fact about the language, and in principle the question can be answered solely by looking at the pronunciation of sounds within the language -- in the ordinary course of events, a Chinese speaker would go their entire life without being exposed to the sound [θ], and yet they would largely agree with each other on what the sound was if they did hear it.

I say that this categorization question draws upon rules of pronunciation which we don't presently have a good idea of how to describe or characterize at all.

So I say reenactment of a dead language is an interesting project, but you're inevitably going to make choices that are wildly different from the language as it existed in the past. Pronunciation reconstruction is on much firmer ground -- and it gets there by not addressing most questions. But a reenactment cannot avoid addressing every possibility, and it's going to get most of them wrong.

Don't forget that all AP statistics are collected from supervised scenarios and never report on how many disengagements they had, or how much of the traffic conditions they cover. In other words driving straight lines for a million miles even with the driver saving the situation hundreds of times will count as a million "self driven" miles. Under these conditions student drivers are the absolute best since their accident rate is pretty much zero, because there's someone next to them to supervise and correct.

And that's not a floor on how inadequate the system is, it's a ceiling on how much risk the drivers are willing to take. Right now most drivers do not explore further and anyway never let the whole situation unfold. Those almost crashes in the most basic of driving conditions are where the humans draw the line because they now know that's the upper limit of what it can do, the lower is facing real traffic or less supervision.

The AP gets a free pass because we want to let the technology evolve but unless we treat its "driver's license" like we do a human driver's, then the only option is to never allow more than a few seconds of "hands off wheel" on the road. Allowing the human to completely disconnect should be illegal.

We don't allow manufacturers to put a switch that disconnects the pollution control devices because "the driver is responsible for this". We should at least try to technologically prevent the driver from not driving because a system with a fancy name will. And Tesla is doing the absolute minimum there to get better stats and leave the impression the car drives itself. Every car drives itself straight to the crash site.

I'm not sure what you're looking at here. There's no "tech demo" going on here. It's a new beta of technology replacing an old and quite well functioning technology that is a SAE level 2 system. This is not frozen in stone. In fact Tesla is updating it every ~5 days right now. There's many people that post daily videos of how Tesla handles on a specific road near them and you can see it improve update to update.

It could be if you're binary searching the range of 2 to 9 maybe, or -5 to 9.

But if not, you're right it's not exactly binary search, it's interpolation search, which is like binary search it just uses a different midpoint finding algorithm.

> Even if you want to learn a language, if you can't learn it by using it, do you even need it?

I'm not really into flashcards, but I'm seeing a lot of comments like this, that flashcards are only good for memorization. I think they're more useful than that. You can use flashcards similar to how you would train a machine learning model, large iterations of input and feedback. People who are serious about language learning with SRS don't just study words but whole sentences per card. You could probably use flashcard to train yourself in many things that would be considered skills, not just knowledge. For example, you could put chess problems with answers on flashcards. If the resolution were high enough you could probably train yourself to recognize forged paintings. Things like that.
