Version history isn’t exactly new in legal docs. IANAL but I’ve worked on redlining legal contract terms commercially.

Almost every legal (or otherwise collaborative) document has “track changes” enabled on its source document for the last 25+ years, which captures every keystroke in Word or WordPerfect.

I cannot recall there’s ever been a subpoena for the track changes source. It’s generally immaterial. Negotiation proceedings are not the contract, the contract is what was signed and both parties have a copy as paper, image, or PDF.

Computer forensics are often about determining whether a final image was altered after mutual acceptance. This is also why important documents get notarized.
As oppose to all those unquestionable ones?

I think the opposite is true. There are so many interesting YouTube channels today, it's "quality documentaries" that were unthinkable in my childhood in the 90s.

Technology Connections, Numberphile, 3blue1brown, NativLang, Ben Eater, VSauce, Tom Scott etc.

As a teenager I could watch NatGeo and perhaps another similar channel with 2 hour dragged out documentaries with talking heads edited and narrated by people who don't love the topic the way these YouTubers do.

I think the Internet is still great if you curate what you watch and read, it's better than ever. But perhaps it's worse on the average. The junk is more potent and the intellectual poison is dosed higher than even the worst reality shows used to be on TV.

Both of these can be true at the same time.

Also, you're watching this 1937 docu on YouTube, not on Discovery Channel on TV.
I can see charging being built directly into parking buildings/apartment carparks and factored into the parking cost. Would be pretty convenient always being fully charged when setting out.

At this stage parking buildings have maybe 4 chargers but 1 is out of order and the other 3 are in use. But that's a scaling issue.

Will be interesting when parking buildings start drawing megawatts overnight though.
The supposed smoking gun in the article is that if we plot random values for perceived and actual ability we get a chart that looks a lot like the chart in the original study.

I don't see how you make the leap from there to saying that the Dunning-Kruger effect is probably not real. The headline is totally overblown if you ask me.
> The darling of those who wish to explain why incompetent people don’t know they’re unskilled, the Dunning-Kruger effect may actually just be a data artefact.

This doesn't strike me as true. Or rather, I don't think that it's a significant observation that some people may want to try to explain why some people are incompetent. In my experience, people don't try to "explain" incompetence in general. They will rather talk about specifics - e.g. "Some people believe this because of the misconception that X implies Y". Even if their own rationale is incorrect.

This is very different to saying that "They are stupid because they don't know that they are stupid".

Yeah it may come up as a flippant comment about an individual (or "fringe" group like the Flat Earth Society) in casual conversation, but when I consider how much I've read about and discussed the DK effect, I can't say that the implications as stated in that the quoted piece actually has a significant basis in reality. In other words, DK may be the "darling" of said group, but the self-same group is not very significant in any way in my experience.

YMMV.
I thought I was the lone madman out here chanting little caesars praises. So many people have called me cheap or complain that their pizzas are garbage. Maybe I just have humbler tastes but for the price of what you're paying, it's single handedly the the best $/cal ratio you can get for a $5-7 food thing. I mean for an average sized person (not average american sized), it's 1-2 days of food. Where else can you get that much food for that price?
A while back I wrote a opt-in tool called npl-lint[1] that would allow some CI-level enforcement of rules in package.json although I didn't go too far with it - one thing was to check the scripts section and allow whitelisted apps, or whitelisted sources for dependencies.

It came about because I ended up having a spat with one of the NPM engineers at the time because they launched npx with the ability to run arbitrary gists[2] and this was before 2FA (FWIW you can still absolutely do this with npx).

I wrote a proof of concept[3] that showed you could, inside a package.json add a command to install another package from a gist location, and then use that to steal credentials, bash history, etc.

I use mtr 1.1 all the time. (Like, literally all the time, I normally have it running in the background so I can see whether it’s my computer’s wi-fi adapter, the wi-fi router or the local ISP that’s playing up this time.)

I remember it was a few days after they came out with 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 that it dawned on my that I could drop the zeroes. I’d been wondering why they hadn’t chosen 1.2.3.4, but once I realised 1.0.0.1 was just 1.1, it became fairly obvious why they had chosen it.

(P.S. mtr’s stripchart with latency information is super great for this sort of thing; I have MTR_OPTIONS=--displaymode=2 set in my environment.)
Does any of that matter for cars with ESC?
I am also an undergraduate math professor. In our faculty governing body, I had an argument with colleagues in English who, while urging the importance of the written-communication core requirement, since everyone needs to be able to communicate clearly (a claim with which I agree!), also urged removing the quantitative-reasoning core requirement, since that skill is not important to people in the humanities.

I can see being defensive about the importance of one's discipline in a society that sometimes seems to deemphasise it, but you'd think that struggle would make one more, not less, sympathetic to the need to keep basic literacy in other disciplines.
> This brings back memories :) http://www.ixo.de/info/zyxel_uclinux/ Sure, we are talking about low-end (real bottom) devices here.

So not just low-end, but a decade old device that was already low-end upon it's release. That's hardly a fair argument to bring to the discussion.

> How about QNX then?

QNX wouldn't run on something with <1MB RAM. Nothing POSIX compliant would* . The published minimum requirements for Neutrino 6.5 (which is already 10 years old) was 512MB. Double that if you want the recommended hardware specification.

Sure, if you want to strip out graphics libraries and all the other stuff and just run it as a hypervisor for your own code you could get those hardware requirements right down. But then you're not left with something POSIX compliant, not even useful for the N64. And frankly you could still get a smaller footprint by rolling your own.

The selling point of QNX is a RT kernel, security by design and a common base for a variety of industry hardware. But if you're writing something for the N64 then none of those concerns are relevant (and my earlier point about a resident OS for the N64 being redundant is still equally valid for QNX).

Also smart phones are neither embedded nor "constrained" devices. I have no idea what the computing hardware is like in your average car but I'd wager it varies massively by manufacturer and model. I'd also wager QNX isn't installed on every make and model of car either.

* I should caveat that by saying, yes it's possible to write something partially POSIX compliant which could target really small devices. There might even be a "UNIX" for the C64. But it's a technical exercise, like this N64 port of Linux. It's not a practical usable OS. Which is the real crux of what we're getting at.
They both look really interesting but suffer from the same issue: top-down vs. bottom-up adoption. There’s no way I can convince everyone to choose a new system for email just to collaborate with me.
In other words, the Dunning-Kruger effect is a by product of deep narcissism (as opposed to sheer stupidity or ignorance, making it a palatably sinister pathological fungal outgrowth, truly scary).

They say these anti social personality disorders only represent 1-2% of society, but I always try to look at the results of a society to infer the true percentage.

I’d say Nazi Germany had a particular anti social personality disorder at scale, over 50%.

I’ll let you guys infer where everyone else is at now days.
Linus does not control GitHub.
I used it lightly. It was nice. Remember it being fast at least for my light usage, compiling simple UNIX-style commmand-line utilities (to achieve small tasks) that I used to love to write on Windows - and still do :)
Isn't the Dunning-Kruger effect about personal mastery, and not comparative social science?
IMO, like many things interpreted at a surface level, it’s easy to miss the detail.

“Dumb” is the wrong descriptor. If you’ve ever worked in a politicized environment, it’s easy to observe spectacularly talented people who are uniquely unqualified to do whatever they are doing. Those are usually good at something else, and those skills generally allow them to avoid consequences for their incompetence, unless they get unlucky.

Another common scenario you see in business is when attorneys get put in charge of things, or talented salesmen get put into non-sales executive jobs.
He's not really talking about abstraction or level of detail.

He's talking about how the "magical", naive, imagination-based ways we understand things when we are young colour the way we perceive them we we get older.

Even if we know, rationally, that the way we used to think about something was incorrect, and conflicts with what we know to be true as adults, we don't discard those old ideas entirely, and they remain internalised to some extent:

The point is that all the earlier versions, even those as patently false as the one with the stork, are not discarded completely. Something of them remains in us; they mesh with succeeding versions and somehow continue to exist

I actually think it's at least a little more profound than you give it credit for.

I can't find it now, but there's a new standard to associate a logo image width a domain for use in email, using a DNS record. From memory one of the big certificate providers is acting as the official verifier and there will be a fee, when it comes out of trial.

On its own it's a silly little thing, but confidence scans are all about lots of little things which add up to a greater whole. I think it could help those who embrace it.

I remember working at a company where someone in finance gave away a large 5 figure sum to an unknown bank account, because a Hotmail address set up with the MD's name, who was on holiday at the time, asked them to do so. They were lucky that their bank agreed to cancel the payment an hour after they made it. This could have helped.
I might have not explained myself well. I meant to say that, I do not wish for Netflix to be "cancelled", or viciously attacked, as is common nowadays. But I do hope to see that users hold Netflix accountable on basic principles.
To me it ends up feeling like people who say things like "people are stupid" and use the Dunning-Kruger effect to hand wave away harder socio-psychological problems are projecting their own insecurities of their lack of knowledge and can be safely ignored
Wow, this is an eye-opener. Will try integrating it with my home NAS.
Could the article actually getting around to explaining the simulation using random data? Frustrating to read the things, and then just be shown a graph purportedly from random data and not explain how it was generated. Is it an artifact of using quartiles?
It wasn't, but I'm glad to have plausible deniability :) I fixed the typo.
> If you give everyone a fixed amount of money, won't the cost of things just rise accordingly?

And what if it did? What if we gave every person the money and assets equivalent of the richest man on earth, 113 billion dollars [1]. Now Bezos would only be about twice as rich as the average person. Instead of being 1.13 million times as rich as the average household in the US [0]. Surely the prices would skyrocket, but now we're at a more even playing field.

Wait a sec’. The author admits the effect has been confirmed by others, then claims it’s probably not real because of a pair of studies (both from the same team) that even the authors admit support at least part of the Dunning-Kruger hypothesis (“It’s just that experts do that over a narrower range”). His confirmation is a couple of ad hoc unpublishable investigations? It’s almost like he might be overestimating his ability to evaluate the work. In particular, he seems to be more interested in refuting a popular perception of what the effect is rather than the more subtle claims that Dunning and Kruger actually made—another source of the type of errors predicted for those without expertise in a given field.
This looks really helpful for doing quick demos during screencasts. I like that it keeps the project local, too. Very neat.
I think he was trying to say that the NYTimes has no relevant Chinese market so it can’t be coerced by chinese regulations or threatened with a destruction of that part of their business. Global platforms can be threatened, so they adapt their content strategy.
Some observations:

* Fully fuelled, it carries about 170 kg of pax and luggage, so basically one couple.

* Max driving speed and "high cruise" speed are 160 km/h, around 100 mph or 86 knots (slow for a plane, and average for a car in Germany :-)

* Max range 350 to 500 km in about 2 to 3 hours, depending on cruise speed and number of pax.

* Takeoff in 200 to 300 meter, landing in <50 m.

* It's a gyrocopter, so takeoff is a bit complicated, and stalling is not so much of an issue. It is piloted differently from a fixed wing aircraft though (or a helicopter).

* The rotor is in autorotation mode all the time, so with an engine failure it just turns into a glider.
I didn't quite read it that way, but had a similar reaction in that to me it points to a problem with management rather than the people being reviewed.

If a problem gets to the point where the person being reviewed is unaware of it until a review, the system and management above it has failed. This should all be part of the process. Nothing should be surprising, the feedback should be continuous and so should the attempts to rectify things.

I'm not saying disputes don't come up, or that there aren't issues that develop. But the idea of "implied" tasks or project needs that go neglected to me in turn implies that this should have been addressed immediately, not at the time of an annual review or something, after the fact, and after it's been allowed to grow.

To me it's a sign of lack of communication and management being out of touch.
so commit on a local repo and merge upstream later. imcrementally if prefered. i don't see the problem here.
Why stop at images? If you go the full way and include drawing commands like those in cairo script (https://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Script-Surfaces.html) you can essentially abolish any other sort of app besides the terminal. Your GUI is then simply created by writing to stdout.
I guess they could just be more epistemically modest and say that the data doesn't support the existence of the Dunning-Kruger effect, but doesn't make it not real.
The article doesn't explain what is actually going on to produce the second chart, but here is a guess. Assume people have a true ability x, an estimated ability y which is x + some unbiased noise, and a test score z which is also x + some unbiased noise. If you take a sample and collect the lowest quartile of test scores z, then the average of the estimated abilities y in that group is higher than z because the y are produced centered at x rather than centered at z. By collecting the lowest quartile of test scores, you didn't just get the dumbest people, you also got the people who happened to perform badly on the test that day. These people may be estimating their ability accurately, in which case the estimate would be higher than their randomly bad performance that day.

This seems like too obvious a mistake to not have been noticed for this long though.
Or they are quite warped.

Introduction to Geometric Numerical Integration
Everything has gotten subsidies in the past. Coal got it in Germany, Spain, Rusia,Poland, Norway and of course England. Places like current Bangladesh supported coal mines in England.

Certainly oil got it later, but few places in Europe had it compared to coal. Refineries grew costing lots of billions.

Then natural gas got it with the investment of big gasoducts.

Then it was renewables. Hydrogen is just the next step, because it is the cornerstone of the chemical synthesis process, not just transportation.

Hydrogen and electricity are just "vectors". They let you use coal,gas,nuclear, hydro or Eolic power to power your cars and trucks with much less dependency on US controlled oil for industry and transportation.
Yea I agree. It all relies on (2) but they do a very poor job explaining what exactly the simulation is. If there is a paper by McNight, it isn't cited and I can't find it. Can't find it on his webpage[0][1] or google scholar.

This is a non-trivial simulation so the details are really important! Shame they are nowhere to be found.

Knucklehead: But, obviously Google is on top in a big way, so I have to ask, do you think the entire search engine industry, not just Google, has poor quality search results? What do you know that they don't?

Me earlier: larger issue is I'd acknowledge some search results just aren't what I in particular want but I'd claim other results are actually objectively low quality

It seems like you just a kind of "shtick". Anyone talking about quality, no how much nuance they add to it, gets thrown the same "how do you your ideas of quality are right". I already mentioned that quality is piece of Google formula and Google spend real money attaining that, employs thousands of people to rate search quality. Of course I'm not claiming to be a personal expert on quality. You can read further what I actual wrote above.

Sounds likely this is it. 2.5 miles isn't crazy, but maybe it is in your area? Who knows.

So, either your address is still not tallied in their system, or they have enough delivery area as it is. Either way, it would be nice to see the reason.

Exactly! Why does the author not tell us how the McKnight model works?

Nobody wants this type of experimentation on a production code base though.
I don't know why your response got down voted. Maybe some rather specific people got their panties in a twist.

Either way, what you said is something Bertrand Russel (certainly not best known for being a dumb man) once worded like this:

"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt."

.. and just for good measure, here is another one of his quotes, which is hardly well know to those who would probably be better off if they did:

"Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them."

In summary: ignorant people do appear to often be more confident than they deserve to be. Whether that is actually because they are truly unaware of their ignorance, that could certainly be a good question to ask oneself. For there are plenty who deliberately abuse both faked ignorance and confidence just to bamboozle and deceive others.
