I do, and no, not precisely, but I would prefer to have more wealth than less at any time step - that is a preference that is invariant. However, what may change is the structure of the problem in front of me - the nature of the bets, or my time horizon (as I age). Realistic spending vastly complicates the situation for any analysis, but some basic spending pattern does not, and is effectively just an exogenous event that doesn't affect the analysis.

In EUT some of the response to changes in situation is modelled as a change of preferences, and encoded in the utility function - for example, older people may have different preferences to younger people, and those who have a lot of "good fortune" (perhaps through a good network) may have different preferences to those with few good opportunities.

This is fine, and it produces good results, but a more satisfying theory would be able to derive the behaviours from the problem itself. One claim is that this is not possible - that preferences are a fundamental primitive, but it isn't obvious to me that this is necessarily true.

To be clear, I would distinguish between irrational behaviours caused by lack of information, poor estimation or analysis, etc. and differences in rational behaviour caused by problem structure - here I am only considering the latter.
I find that "invented here first" of western society is nearly always flawed and incorrect. Just like people's claims that "romantic love" is a relatively recent "discovery" of western society when it is readily apparent in literature from civilizations from all over the world. We're all still humans with raw emotions that haven't changed much in probably 100K years.

No, that's not how subsets work.

If a subset of features that is part of "full self driving" cannot ever reach level 4/5, then "full self driving" is not possible.

"full" is a marketing terminology but the English meaning of it would be that it works comprehensively in the majority of cases. If it doesn't work on city streets, which is a major subset of use cases, how can it be "full"?
You can certainly keep innovation on an assembly line, hence why I was very specific with my words about optimising the speed of an assembly line. Lean manufacturing for example prioritises innovating on the manufacturing process instead of using an assembly line and gets comparable speeds.

SpaceX is clearly an innovative company and I'm sure they're not using a Ford-style assembly line because that would make no sense for a quality-over-quantity product like a rocket.

By assembly line I specifically mean a Fordian assembly line where units move between stations manned by specialists in a single step of the process.

> He expects that by calling the publishers of some journal "craven" and "scared", that he's going to elicit a reversal of their decision

Thats not my read of the situation. I agree that if his goal was to convince the authors, it would make sense for him to be more accomodating. And it wouldn't make sense to call them out in public.

But thats not his goal here. To my eyes, this piece takes a shot at the culture which produced their editorial decision. He's calling cancel culture (and its adherents) craven and scared, using this situation as an example.

GoF was used to make the bat virus infect humans... Reasoning was to develop vaccines in advance. Duh.

"What they were worried about was something called “gain-of-function” research, in which the virulence or transmissibility of dangerous pathogens is deliberately increased. The purpose is to help scientists predict how viruses might evolve in ways that hurt humans before it happens in nature. But by bypassing pathogens’ natural evolutionary cycles, these experiments create risks of a human-made outbreak if a lab accident were to occur. For this reason, the Obama administration issued a moratorium on gain-of-function experiments in October 2014.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology had openly participated in gain-of-function research in partnership with U.S. universities and institutions. "

Amazing... learning of the existence/term of polyominoes is a breakthrough for me.

I’ve recently been working on developing a novel statistical test to quantify sensitivity to the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). The limiting factor has been the ability to efficiently generate arbitrarily shaped polygons on a lattice at random. In essence, this is needed to stochastically reallocate a spatial characteristic and measure variance.

Apparently, the exact solution I’m looking for is Donald Knuth’s algorithm X [0]. And I also found this interesting application of the algorithm [1].

I simply cannot express how much my curiosity has just peaked. Moreover, I now have reason to cite both Solomon Golomb and Donald Knuth in a paper.

What's the issue? Look through resumes, see who has worked in this area before, interview and see if they talk the talk, hire and get them up to speed to walk your walk.

If the job is so complex that you have difficulty finding someone who can fit in every required peg, then that job should be broken into smaller, more manageable tasks that can be done by several more common people from the labor pool. It's just good business sense, too. If you require some specialist that takes forever to find and they leave, then you are screwed while hunting for a replacement. If you've instead broken that complicated job into digestible pieces, and someone leaves, you can hire a decent candidate before your employee even leaves, and have your employee get their replacement up to speed in their last few weeks along with the rest of the team.

> "Hey Carl didn't mean to offend you. It was just that one time." What they don't understand is that you've been hearing the same stupid jokes or comments for 15 years in your career.

Tangentially related: when I got a new tattoo a few years back at an artist I never been before I made some joke that tattoo artists are like dentists: they love to inflict pain on people. I immediately realized that he must have heard the same hundreds of times before, and that I said something pretty bloody stupid.

You're up close and personal for a few hours with a stranger; I'm not shy or socially awkward, but I'm also not especially outgoing; just average. Sitting in silence can be awkward for some human psychological reason, and you feel the pressure to say ... something, anything. Reflecting on my own behaviour since this, I've noticed it's in those kind of situations where I say the silliest things: when you feel a pressure to say something but you're not sure what.

I think many probably have the same experience to some degree getting a haircut or the like (although haircuts usually don't take 3 hours; or at least, mine don't).

I'd certainly like to think I wouldn't be the kind of person who would "the same stupid jokes or comments" that you mentioned – but I can point at least to once case where I've done so. There are probably others that I've forgotten.

My point is that it's hard to understand how something is perceived by someone else, especially when their experience is very different from yours, whether that's a tattoo artist or a black programmer.

An idea I had a while ago is a platform where people can post personal stories to expand on these kind of things and how it's perceived by them (about a wide variety of topics). "I didn't mean anything by it" comes off as rather weak, but it's my impression it is actually true in quite a few cases, especially these relatively minor ones: many people just don't understand what it is to be in the shoes of another person. You really need to explain this, and just saying "that's racist" isn't enough.

P.S. Don't get your ribs tattooed people. Good grief that one hurt so much more than any of the others.

Hmm secret laws? Do you have a source for this. I feel like a secret law defeats the purpose of a law lol.
There are approaches that can deliver large portions of this; run an open source linux distribution, running open source browser with open source tracker blocking software. You can run this on an inexpensive system and wipe out all external communication except what you specifically want.

This is obviously unrealistic for most people. You can toggle off automatic feedback & updates in a modern OS and you can install Firefox with tracker blocking and you are 99% of the way there, plenty enough in practice.

I want to point out both of these approaches introduce legitimate security holes (either from not using a production grade OS or from disabling updates on it) which are vastly more likely to have real impact on your life versus privacy tracking.

I don’t know anything about IBMs situation. But for me, a much smaller company, there’s a difference between saying you will only hire a Native American and saying you have intentionally chosen to put up a hiring booth at a Native American conference. In practice they have similar outcomes but the first is illegal, as you say, and the second isn’t. Every hiring pipeline will have demographic biases in it. And there is no law saying you have to investigate every single pipeline. But in practice how you choose your pipelines plays a big role in the demographics of your hires. I think too that this is not discrimination because it is merit based. I’m saying that because of other people’s discrimination you could probably operate on a valid business ROI hypothesis that choosing more diverse pipelines is a better use of a hiring managers time and money.
In ancient Indian mathematics, people would compose poetry based on tables of numbers, so that things such as sine tables, and the value of pi up to certain number of decimal places, were easier to remember [1]. A delightful example given in the site is "Milk is best for breakfast, when it is morning, it should be stirred. But Gopālan says there is no milk - the number of days of English months in order.", which in the appropriate alphabet, represents the number of days in the months of the Gregorian calendar.

After taking a quick glance on the book of К. А. Войлова "Старославянский язык" nothing really contradicts what I posted before about Old Church Slavonic place in creation of Russian. Also, if you are presenting your source it is up to you to quote where Russian is not descendant from Old Church Slavonic, to disprove me - I have no obligation whatsoever to comb whole book and make something up that proves your point.
I had a different - more recent source that I read from Russian linguist(my memory is bad on names), where he discussed Old Church Slavonic and how it replaced most of local languages as a base to Russian and other modern East Slavic languages.

Also I think you are confused about these terms in English, where
Old Church Slavonic == Старославянский язык
Church Slavonic == Церковнославя́нский язы́к

>The Novgorod birchbark letters that were excavated over the 20th century attest some early East Slavic, noticeably different from the Old Church Slavonic language

That is correct, however what I wrote was completelly different: "All the survived early written texts of Rus are in Old Church Slavonic."

Besides, they were neither early East Slavonic or even classified as modern East Slavic and they are not directly related to Russian as well. Many of those Slavic can be classified as early Western Slavic at best.

>No, беременна is a native Slavic word and not a Swedish borrowing
It seems, that I was wrong in this one(as pregnancy in most of Slavic languages use different word, but I did not search further, where Bulgarians use similar word for pregnancy). Sadly, that also means that Old Church Slavonic replaced everything else.

> It's pretty rare outside of interviews that you have to code in front of an audience

But it is most certainly not rare that you will be expected to reason about possible solutions to problem domains you barely understand using techniques you have varying levels of familiarity to an audience.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this is just my line of work, and if you're recruiting a person who pulls tickets and there's no expectations beyond that whatever. But I would be assed to hire someone who, presented with a question my team thought fair to ask in an interview, was unable to stand up and cohesively walk me thru their approach, reasonably attack some parts of that approach, and offer some insights to what pros and cons they see in their approach and others they might have passed up. How is that person ever going to help in a brainstorm if they are so socially anxious they cant speak to an audience? How are they ever going to help their teammates in a Code Review if they are unable to find their voice in front of a whiteboard-tier problem that every single other candidate is facing?

If your social anxiety is this debilitating, that you can't do your literal profession in front of a crowd who you purport to be on the same level as by virtue of interviewing with them, I think you have a problem yes.
You appear to be agreeing with shoo:

The hardest thing for my generation to understand is that the politics of our youth are no longer the politics of the present.

To quote the many times canceled Orwell: And this tolerance or plain dishonesty means much more than that admiration for the USSR happens to be fashionable at this moment. Quite possibly that particular fashion will not last. For all I know, by the time this book is published my view of the Soviet régime may be the generally-accepted one. But what use would that be in itself? To exchange one orthodoxy for another is not necessarily an advance. The enemy is the gramophone mind, whether or not one agrees with the record that is being played at the moment.
