> What's actually going on is that rather than taking the uncomfortable step and questioning our current day school system where we send our kids to prisons

The reasons for this are deliberate.

1. Parents are assholes. In poor areas many patents couldn’t give two shits about spending extra time to contribute to their child’s education. In rich areas the parents are at war with the teachers either because their little angel can do no wrong or because there is serious money on the table for scholarships.

2. Child performance is measured in numbers devised by standardized tests. The average of that performance is a primary determinate factor in state funding.

3. It would be nice if we taught children to think and to form original output. The sad reality is that most people, including adults, are utterly incapable of originality. Attempts to force that square peg into a round hole leaves many children behind while simultaneously confusing and infuriating parents.
It does seem like an anti-pattern especially for a search engine.
It's great to see the whole chain of "speech to text to model to text to speech" in action. The huge amount of computation that has to be done shows in the delay during the API calls.

Before this is actually usable in a game or product the models must be made cheaper to compute and smaller in size.
the correct and only response to a clubhouse invite is always: no.
> If the invite system is phased out, it creates an opportunity for bots to ruin the app.

If someone can make bots do convincing voice chat with groups of the glitterati, heckling Elon with persuasive counter arguments, that would be quite impressive.
This is a common misconception, idiote was often used interchangeably with citizen and should be understood as a citizen operating in his capacity as a citizen (and not say in a formal poltical or emissary function) but by no means one who wishes to disengage from the polis. As for Socrates, as he is at pains to emphasize in the Apology, he was no 'idiote'.
The fact that an idea is rejected is not, on its own, evidence that it's any good.

However, great ideas are often not "obviously" good, because if they were, someone would have done them already. And if they're not obviously good, they'll tend to be rejected when they're first discussed. This is even true when the idea is explained to experts in the relevant field field, because the experts think they know how things are done, and a really great idea is usually sufficiently different from their and habitual modes of thinking that it will seem inconsistent with what they have long "known" to be true.

If you have an idea and it's rejected, it probably should be. But if you have, in fact, thought it through in more depth than anyone else, and actually know more about its part of a field than the most experts in that field do, then it might be right.

You have to take full responsibility for deciding that; during the critical time of an idea's gestation, no one can take that responsibility for you. Eventually, if and when the idea is made real, it will be verified in the real world.
Thanks for sharing this, was great to read

No, In my case I meant, pressing Cmd-Shift-4 takes ±1-2 secs for cross-cursor to appear before you actually take the screenshot. Now I've checked taking with screenshot of Cmd-Shift-3 and it 'Takes' it after some delay. Not instantly like before. It saves it with additional delay like you describe, but it's something else. Still dumb and annoying in my opinion but I believe you can turn it off somewhere in GUI or with the command in terminal.

The next screenshot you take can be faster. But not always. There is some loading happening I believe before the first one. Than it works fast but Then it unloads something sometimes and sometimes not. I do not think it's a hardware problem like some say.
KOReader has all these features and much more. I particularly depend on the possibility to quickly override styles in badly formatted ebooks, great support for StarDict dictionaries, OPDS support for quickly downloading books from Calibre server, and much more flexible configuration of the backlight.
pretty spot on from my experience. there were always a couple truly cruel kids who would pick on anyone they perceived as weak. but most bullying seemed to be for the purpose of defending group boundaries. people would mostly leave you alone if they didn't think you were trying to join a group that wasn't "for you".

That procedure will create a boot partition on the built in drive and use it to jump to the partition on the TB3 drive - because the built-in bootloader doesn't have support for loading or even enumerating drives other than the built-in one.

Isn’t cash losing value the definition of inflation?
If some scientist comes to you and state "we proved that people can get hurt ridding bikes", it's fair to point out that there is little surprise about the formal proof of something so many people empirically experiment in their daily life.
What has been your interest in category theory? How has category theory empowered your work?
That last sentence is what's critical to having decent conversation with people in general. You may think their opinion/point is wrong or they might just completely misunderstand a topic, but give them the benefit of the doubt. If you're just stating your opinion versus giving your point of view and asking other to give/clarify theirs, you're probably doing it wrong. Anytime I'm in an argument I just treat it as a way to get a different point of view, even if I don't subscribe to it. HN is great for this.
Since I appreciate your list, here’s a couple more about the growing class divide.

It's probably phoning home, although the article isn't clear on that, so perhaps the people controlling it are only using it in attacks targeting specific people or organisations.
I think there's a law in there somewhere...

Suppose you had met the original author at the very beginning of the project and convinced them that marketing/growth/etc. is important. Let's suppose they only write some single facile sentence in the README about, "marketers/growth experts welcome" in response.

I would hold that just having that single, facile sentence buried in the README from the outset is more powerful and persuasive to the project's developer base than the most detailed proposal that a marketing/growth expert could possibly write after the fact.

Maybe another way to say this: if you showed up to a consumer OSS product that had this facile sentence in it there, the entire developer base would welcome you make a marketing pitch to them. Without it, they would interpret it as noise.
Within the M1 is a “Secure Enclave” for the stuff that was formerly in T1. Does that mean that there is an iOS running inside the macOS?

I would also add that in gaslighting, the victim is unwilling and unknowing. In the described manipulation, the victim is willing to be manipulated and often even knows that it is being manipulated. So while gaslighting needs quite some effort to convince the victim of something, this injection of an idea is helped by the victims' will to own the idea and deceive others and themselves to that end.
Bitcoin's big invention is that miners are economically incentivized to work in the best interest of the network.

Nano throws that away and says people will invest to protect the network just because.

Genius? Nah, it's just dumb.
When both people involved share a subfield and the piece is talking about what's fundamentally intra-subfield drama, I'd say there are three possibilities:

1) They meant "within the subfield" but assumed it could be taken from context
2) They meant "within the subfield" but have an overinflated notion of the importance of their subfield
3) They genuinely believe the strongest form of the claim

Which of these possibilities one considers most likely probably depends more on one's prior opinion of the people involved than anything else, and I continue to not really have a prior opinion because this whole situation is a trainwreck and I don't know the background well enough to be able to even start to try and read past the biases of the various people commenting.
A pretty polished delivery mechanism, including native M1 binary, with no payload. Sounds like R&D in preparation for a real deployment, or possibly a demo for a package that will be sold to third parties.
"AI ethics researcher" is codeword for "leftist activist".
It sounds like the M1 literally cannot be re-imaged from external media though, because the internal copy of the OS is so locked-down. Which fundamentally seems like a very Apple sort of disregard for providing tools for people to deal with failure modes. It also ensures the people actually solving the problem and the people who have the problem are never in the same room and never talk about what's going on.
He didn't say not to do anything. He said the (current) programs were pretending realities didn't exist, or that they could be scolded away. This is basically why the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign failed.
Both sides are guilty to some degree, but, and this is the crucial point, not to the SAME degree.
> what would be the first question to ask there?

I would ask: what originated reality 0. If the answer is "something" then reality 0 is not reality 0. If the answer is "nothing. It existed since ever" then I would be dissatisfied because my brain cannot conceive that.
Central banks print Trillions of dollars to buy bonds right at this moment and get away with it. They live in a vacuum and can do what they want without much democratic oversight. Since all the relevant mining is happening in China nowadays the fate of bitcoin lies in the hands of the autocratic Chinese regime. If they instruct all miners to use their Chinese version of Bitcoin that e.g. dismisses all transactions and only produces empty blocks, Bitcoin is over.
A nuclear plant was also taken offline due to the cold.
You've got it right. That being said, I dont think anyone realistically expects 1m / btc this decade.

that is most hilarious. so they're using state-of the art mobile devices just so they can send unencrypted audio over udp.
As far as I know, it only hides dead (-4 votes) or flagged comments. You can enable them with the "showdead" toggle in your profile, as the sister comment correctly pointed out (I'd recommend doing so, to see through biases a bit).
I’ve used ddg for about 5 years. I find it works about as well as Google. I think Google works worse than it did about 10-15 years ago and that this is just a reflection of the internet itself becoming crappier.
My take on it is that he means really new / radical ideas are very uncomfortable for most people. They will reject them and you’ll have to work really hard to show them why it will be worth the pain and good for them in the end. So don’t worry about someone pinching that idea - the hard work is not the idea, it’s the convincing.
It's not optimal from a sharing perspective, but from merely a searching perspective I really haven't had a problem with it. When I used Google, I would rarely ever go beyond page 2, and I'm sure many people do the same.
You'd be surprised what people can put up with cheerfully. A relative of mine turned out, around high school or so, to be allergic to wheat (which is in half the stuff you eat). It gave him regular diarrhea. He had grown up with it and simply assumed it was normal. How would he know otherwise? (A version of the 'typical mind fallacy' https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/baTWMegR42PAsH9qJ/generalizi... one might say.)

It's not as if people go around saying, 'good morning! I had my usual poop today, a good #3 on the Bristol stool scale, placing me within 1SD of the human norm! And yourself?' 'Likewise, likewise; good checking in with you and discussing our morning defecation, as is very normal for us human beings, ha ha.'
Osaka has plenty of international flights. I don’t think they are served by a shinkansen either, though definitely by a lot more trains than Narita.
I originally read it as "Life is..." and thought "that's an interesting take on things".
That is entirely what your company has used Jira to design. Yes it is possible because Jira is that flexible.

Jiras standard workflow is literraly Todo-In progress-Done and you can transition from any state to any state and edit any fields you want at any time.

Don't blame the tool. You said you needed an axe to chop wood to stay warm. Is it the axe's fault if you go kill your neighbor with it?

We use Jira and we have none of the problems you describe. We also have it integrated with a bunch of other tools we use and it gives us a really good overview of where we are at with things, looking up the Why behind a code change etc.

FWIW we do use a more elaborate workflow but it works well and parts of it are so that you can see if something it out with customers or not and those transitions are automated and done by our deployment scripts.
I dunno about that. I went to a smaller private school (~60 kids per grade in middle school, ~100 per grade in high school), and we certainly had bullying. maybe this is already too large? I didn't simultaneously attend a large public school, so I can't say whether there was a difference in degree.

we probably had more teachers per student, so more supervision, but I can't say that really helped. kids wouldn't physically attack each other in front of a teacher, but a lot of the verbal bullying was coded in a way (nicknames, in-group slang) that it wasn't obvious to an adult that it wasn't playful. the kids all knew exactly what was going on though.
I think they're related and they're both terrible. It takes white men as the standard and everybody who differs from that is of lesser concern. Of course there are differences in details; black people assumed to be different in ways they aren't, while with women known differences are ignored. Either way, they're not taken seriously.
For those that don't know, Holman Jenkins is an opinion pages columnist for WSJ. This is not the news side. He's also probably one of my favorite writers at the WSJ. He has done a lot of writing on energy policy and climate change. His pieces tend to be well researched and present unique views on lots of topics.
Over time, I've come to progressively reject the "zombie/sheeple" criticism of that behavior. People just want to live their lives, and we should focus our attention on the rent-seeking tech companies that try to cynically exploit us instead of victim-blaming. It's true that people could try to be more aware of what is going on, but we ought to work towards a world where we aren't nickel-and-dimed every second of the day by massive corporations.
I don't think Apple realizes that a lot of the "cruft" in legacy/Intel platforms is there for a reason. Reasons like this.
German air traffic control system software accidentally written in Emacs Lisp
UCSD gets nearly $6M from NASA to help design flying taxis
The setup at SFO is really the exception to the rule. At ATL and DCA it's actually easier to get to the airport by train station than it is by car, since the connections are inside and above the main passenger pick-up/drop-off loops respectively. It is slightly less convenient in ORD, where the connection is underneath the main parking garage, but I'm also not a big fan of going through their pick-up loop. Those are the ones I've personally used on this list.
My quick review after more than a year of DDG as my default:

- Technical searches are usually on par with Google, or even better. What made me switch originally was that I got fed up with Google just straight up ignoring half my query, and I've had none of that frustration with DDG.

- I like the dark theme (although I think Google's experimenting with that now)

- DDG is absolutely worthless when it comes to local searches like shops or even just nearby places (I live in Belgium). I always use '!g' for those. I also still use Google Maps.
If you want freedom and more privacy, stop using so much proprietary software. How much Apple lover out there talking about privacy or freedom. They are blind.
Maybe 400 businesses each with 10+ employees and 10,000+ customers (who also had access to the platform). It was too much and I regret not hiring sooner.

FWIW, that sounds like an interesting story/case study, if you're willing to share some time. I'm not surprised by your conclusion, but I'm quite impressed if you managed to scale even tolerably well to that level before bringing in some extra help.
I've tried DDG a few times over the past 3-4 years and reverted back to Google each time until now because, actually, the results are good enough and it's refreshing to see just a page full of search results without all the Google guff.
I have showdead enabled, there are no dead comments on this thread and the current comment count matches the number of visible comments. I suspect the GP comment's observation was due to a timing issue
As long as you can execute anything you want on your Mac, you can execute malicious code. Without the infection vector (which is probably not known yet), it is impossible to say whether it is user error or a security vulnerability.
Do you ever actually use that? I've come to the conclusion (on all search engines) that if the result I'm looking for isn't on the first page, it's not going to be on the second or third either, so I've stopped even looking there.
M1, 153 countries, AWS+Akamai as control infra? Yeah that has to be a tech demo.
I do not quite understand how the guys in the simulation can determine which level they are at. If L1 universe interferes with L2, will the guys in L2 see the divergence in L3? How do they determine their own level?

Fantastic story. Will read more from this author!
Or someone may have vouched for the comment in the meantime
Just no.

Monero has privacy for all transactions while hiding sender, receiver and transaction amount. Bitcoin with schnorr won't get close to that level of privacy.

And Lightning Network doesn't scale well because decentralized route finding in an adverserial environment doesn't exist. (So LN will become centralized.)
Boston Logan's 'Silver Line' (hybrid bus/trolleybuses using special dedicated tunnels) is its equivalent of the airport-only rail connection. The blue line 'airport' stop is literally over a mile from the checkin desks at Terminal B or C.
The lawsuits regarding unregistered copyright are and were expressly forbidden under Copyright Act of 1976 - 17 U.S.C. 411 [0] (with the specific exception for the case where all procedures were met, but registrations has been refused), but some districts used to consider the mere filing of the papers as sufficient to sue under, and some did not. SCOTUS resolved it in the Fourth Estate case by reaffirming that you are required to hold a registration of the work to sue for copyright infrigement of that work. [1]

THe "infringement before registration" does not affect the ability to sue for it - it only affects the ability to get statutory damages [2], which is where the huge figures are coming in, as you do not have to prove actual damage - but it does mean that any lawsuits filed before registration is obtained are to be dismissed due to lack of standing and of course statute of limitations also applies.

There are some othe exceptions but they consider unpublished works and/or works within 3 months from publication, so they don't often come into play.

True. But a failure of a redundant server (say, 1 out of 3 application servers) would then not force you to cancel your night/weekend/vacation.
Talk to enough doctors and you’ll hear similar stories about being shunned by other practitioners or practices for disagreeing about treatment methods or even alternative medicine practices.

Software engineering is more online and connected than most professions. A lot of devs grew up in an era where building your personal brand was touted as the most important thing you could do for your career. They watched certain peers vault themselves into local fame and maybe fortune by going all-in on Angular or React or Go or Rust or Bitcoin at just the right time. In some cases, being dogmatic or cult-like about something and spreading the mentality that it’s the best option without tradeoffs becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If enough people spend enough time declaring microservices or agile or Bitcoin to be the one true solution, it starts to become accepted as true. Those who were at the forefront of promoting it stand to gain a lot by being there first and establishing themselves as experts in the field.

I see contrarianism in small parts of most fields, but software seems to uniquely reward contrarianism. Agile was the contrarian methodology until it became popular, at which point anti-Agile became contrarian and is now growing in popularity.
Right just thinking through the claims of the boosters to their logical end.

If it did happen in nine years the next halving is 2028 so the cost would be ~$85 billion per year. And that would be less than it is now due to inflation.

Ok that’s actually not as bad as I thought, though still pretty expensive. You need $85 billion from new entrants in burnt capital just to maintain the value of existing bitcoins at that price, and people need some reason for putting in capital other than price appreciation assuming appreciation stops.

Don't try to persuade people. Most people don't want to be persuaded. Get people to think and think about your own views. You may find either of you are wrong, or both, or neither, but you may learn something.
This is incorrect; you can do so with another Mac and Apple Configurator, just like it was an iOS device.
At the end of the article:

>adults have rights and access to the judicial system, which makes bullying etc. harder.

Except in the equally common cases where the judicial system makes bullying etc. easier.
Better training for teachers, higher barriers to entry, and much stronger incentives to be a teacher. Namely, a higher salary. With degree inflation, the status of teachers has decreased sharply when they are in fact one of the most important professions at an aggregate level. There are tons of social and economic problems that are directly the result of piss-poor education systems.
Definitely depends on the definition, it seems every programmer and their mother has some toy programming language they poke at.
Have you ever spoken to a professional? Even if you don't feel like anything is wrong, it can be a good to know yourself better. And if anything, potentially face an aspect of yourself that may otherwise surprise you later in life.

I have a very clear idea of what spectrum we're talking about here, but maybe it's better left unspecified to not influence too much (:
