I'm a huge fan of ambient music and have been since 1995 when I first heard Aphex Twin and Brian Eno.

My point is that this author/critic has absolutely no idea what the musician was thinking when he created this music and he certainly doesn't really know why it rings true with it's fans.

Maybe it's exactly why he says it rings true.... But he has absolutely no data or surveys or anything to back this up and he is just projecting his own viewpoints and those of a current cultural Zeitgeist.

His review read like the parody Pitchfork review David Cross wrote.

While data encapsulation sounds like a nice feature in theory, it seems to be the actual biggest flaw.
> This is exactly what they must NOT do. If one is going to criticize, criticize the actual bad concepts, not the (poorly defined) paradigm. OOP and FP are effectively undefinable, and rightly so since they have outlived their usefulness as vehicles for introducing their respective "bunch of concepts".

It’s perfectly fine to define a shorthand for a larger concept, (even if that word has meanings in other contexts) so long as it’s clear what we mean by the term. We do this all the time in our writing and oratory (e.g., the biology sense of “immortality”).

The problem with OOP (and to a lesser extent, FP) is that we don’t make it clear what we mean by those terms and that makes for more misunderstandings between good faith actors and it gives bad faith actors more opportunity to drive the debate toward semantics. Being explicit up front solves that.

> Nobody's going to agree in the modern era what OOP or FP encompass, and anyone who attempts to define them will rightly be lambasted for it.

We don’t need to agree. We are free to define our terms. If I define OOP as X and criticize it accordingly, and you say “but my definition of OOP is Y so your argument is invalid!” then you’re very poor at reasoning and for all intents and purposes you’ve lost the debate.

From the perspective of a diesel engine tech, this is a controversial opinion, but I'm absolutely glad to see this breakthrough.

Lithium is a conflict resource. its scarce, its hard to mine, and as a result so far electric cars are a fanciful plaything for what i would consider "the rich." This paves the way for electric cars that a working class mom and dad can afford to get to and from work and the store. and of course electric trucks that have obscene amounts of torque means never "getting stuck" behind a slow truck ever again. it also means cleaner cities and hopefully cheaper trucking for over the road drivers and owner/operators.

Ive told my coworkers and apprentices this for as long as i can remember: expect to service elecric long-haul trucks in your lifetime. Learn the powertrain, the dynamics, the performance characteristics and keep pace with the technology as it evolves. Make it part of your expectation in the future, because the economic model of diesel is a last-ditch effort at best in the 21st century.

"[Microsoft] Unusually, over its 30-year history, it has hired social scientists to look critically at how technologies are being built. Being on the inside, we are often able to see downsides early before systems are widely deployed. My book did not go through any pre-publication review – Microsoft Research does not require that – and my lab leaders support asking hard questions, even if the answers involve a critical assessment of current technological practices."

> Tell me what the universally agreed foundation of OOP is.

I'll deliberately avoid terms so we don't get to argue about words, but rather substance.

1. Objects have identity that's independent of their state (two objects with same state are still distinct).

2. Objects contain implementation which is hidden, including optionally mutable state.

3. Communication occurs through handlers/methods/calls, which provide only INDIRECT access to the object's internal state.

4. Objects can stand for one another, if their handlers react in a compatible way with the object they're replacing.

I tried to keep it as basic as possible, while avoiding topics about inheritance and what not.

Now the question is "do you need an OOP language to do OOP", and no, you don't. There's overlap. For example if you take the above, you'll notice that closures in FP match all of those except one thing: mutable state. So if your FP language allows mutable state, then you can do OOP in it with closures. And that's not a proof that OOP is not a thing, rather it's a proof that what some small minds keep putting in opposition, things like FP vs OOP vs DOP are just pieces of a larger puzzle that forms a single cohesive picture.

> I think map apps should be optimizing for something more complex, like least amount of directions within a five minute arrival window. Saving two minutes of driving time isn't worth having to make eight more turns.

One issue is, as you say, that shortest-path routing can overload individual roads. There is an interesting and related concept in theoretical CS: oblivious routing. Instead of solving “What is the shortest route to my target?” locally, you try to determine a selection of routes that, if followed by every participant, minimise congestion (the maximum amount of vehicles over any road, relative to its capacity). Surprisingly, it is always possible to determine such routes, even if they are not allowed to depend on traffic conditions (how many vehicles try to go from A to B, how many from C to D, etc) ― this is what the “oblivious” refers to.

Of course, that does not solve the problem of route complexity.

I think you're confusing instruction ROMs and instruction decode/sequencing ROMs.

What's being discussed is at the same level as microcode, whereas most of the distinctions you're making apply to the normal code storage ROMs. For instance modern microcode is nearly never a PROM.

Additionally combinatorial logic is generally made out of cheap gates, the two concepts aren't in conflict, but instead orthogonal.
As a very, very casual audiophile, I don't personally feel the need for new models all that much. I don't go crazy trying to fit speakers to rooms — that's going to change over time! So I'd put the speaker in whatever location sounds the best in that house, and I'm happy with that.

I like the sound of old 60's-70's acoustic suspension speakers with large (11-12") woofers. In particular, I find them to produce a much more satisfying deep bass when played at low volumes. I won't say they're "the best", since I haven't had the chance to listen to much modern high-end equipment, but certainly they're good enough for me to be happy with. Currently listening on a pair of 1970 Advents (OLA), for the curious.

I appreciate that passive speakers are nice. I prefer listening on the Polk T15's I own over the desktop speakers I have, a logitech Z323 paired with the subwoofer from a Z-2300, despite the superior bass of the latter.

Anyway, my point is that I don't personally need all that much (expensive) innovation; I'd be pretty satisfied if these companies wanted to produce product lines that already exist (or bring back older designs, which are increasingly more expensive/difficult to find, these days. I admit to ignorance here, and I get that solid wood is expensive, but I have difficulty understanding why this type of speaker can't be manufactured and sold at a couple hundred bucks a pop, vs several thousands for the models the grandparent comment mentioned.
How would people with screenreaders or limited central vision use this site?
Not just that the settlement size is not right, but that the planet can only support so many people. Sure, they estimate it can support up to 11 billion. But that assumes increases in technology and commercial agricultural as well as consumer changes (like little meat). This also doesn't take into account it being sustainable or not.

We need a shrinking population and less consumerism. We are not currently sustainable (and unlikely to become so anytime soon).
Yea, exactly, it's bs. I really hope they can hold out and maintain a true democracy but Taiwan is one of the biggest priorities for the CCP, they are putting billions of dollars into bringing Taiwan back into the fold. I think they would probably like to avoid an armed conflict if at all possible, there is too much risk that it could go sideways and taking over a war torn Taiwan is not ideal. Ideally, they want to use clandestine means to accomplish their goals to maintain plausible deniability and have a low risk for blowback (e.g. using alleged kompromat playbook with the current Indonesian president, and alleged control of Hong Kong government officials).

If their intelligence services aren't successful in Taiwan, I don't put it past the CCP to invade and install a puppet. Russia has proven that no one wants world War 3. If they were to avoid a protracted engagement in Taiwan, I just don't see the United States risking attacking ccp forces when coming to the aid of Taiwan.
^in hindsight, stupid comment.
This is largely valid but incomplete since it ignores the other side.

The far right has been engaged in its own war on the enlightenment for about the same amount of time. Both the left of the sort this author is describing and the anti-enlightenment right emerged in the 1970s. I’ve come to believe that both were at their core a reaction to the threat of atomic annihilation.

Both have really been making the same argument: that there is no objective reality and reason is merely rationalization of power. The difference is where they take it: to a Marx inspired push for equality of outcome or an anti-rationalist push to maintain tradition for its own sake.

The most recent manifestation of this war was the emergence, also at the same time, of the modern “woke” left and the “alt-right.” I’ve always seen these as two sides of the same coin in that both are a war on the enlightenment and liberalism.

While atomic annihilation is largely out of people’s minds, the threat driving today’s reaction is the decline of the middle class and mass youth unemployment.

As a researcher I would gladly do this. Unfortunately the funding game doesn't support this at all.

I agree that papers are not good for knowledge transfer, but they are required if you want to keep a roof on your head.

Academic community seems to be unable do little else than complain about this. Even though at least in countries I'm familiar with (Finland and UK), academic community mostly runs the funding system as well, although some outside politics do shape it too.

I think what is needed is public pressure to academia and politicians to fix this mess. Unfortunately any criticism of science from the outside seems to be thrown into conspiracy theory category, but this is done mostly by non-academics.
The underline is an affordance, an indicator that it's special. The problem with removing it is there is no way to see it's a link without affirmatively taking an action over the text. Plus, on touch screens, there is no hovering.

h-index should be replaced with a more competitive index (e.g., Max over citations). The publication hyper-competitiveness is due to publication spam, which boosts citation and publication count. However, twisting a knob and getting slightly different results should be viewed as a failed project.
That would exclude many neurodivergent people. Perhaps also other cultures, and social classes.

It is easier to guess the state of minds of people who are similar to you. Because then your natural algorithm "what would I feel in such situation? what would make me say these words, act this way?" is more likely to match how they feel and think.

I suspect that many people overestimate their ability to "read other people's minds". First, they rarely verify their guesses. (I see another person and conclude that they are angry. I usually don't approach them and ask "hey, are you angry?". Therefore, if my guess was wrong, I am not going to learn it.) Second, if they turn out to be wrong, it's always the other person's fault. (If an autist cannot guess a neurotypical person's thoughts, it's the autist's fault. If a neurotypical person cannot guess an autist's thoughts, guess what, that's also the autist's fault.) Third, it is easier to guess thoughts of people we frequently talk to, because people usually think today the same thing they thought yesterday, and they already told us what they thought yesterday.
The trade was relevant because it's what she was lying to protect. My point still stands: people will take a large risk for a gain that is negligible relative to their net worth.

Analytic cognition is characterized by taxonomic and rule-based categorization of objects, a narrow focus in visual attention, dispositional bias in causal attribution, and the use of formal logic in reasoning.

What is considered wise in one society may not be considered wise in another; the value and meaning of intelligence depends on cultural norms. Demonstrating the culturally-specific nature of knowledge and intelligence, Cole, Gay, Glick, and Sharp (1971) conducted an experiment in which Western participants and Kpelle participants from Liberia were given an object-sorting task. Participants were asked to sort twenty objects that were divided evenly into the linguistic cat-egories of foods, implements, food containers, and clothing. Westerners tended to sort these objects into the groups for food and implements, while Liberian partici-pants would routinely pair a potato with a knife because, they reasoned, the knife is used to cut the potato. When questioned, Liberian participants justified their pairings by stating that a wise person would group the items in this way. When the researchers asked them to show what an unwise person would do, they did the taxonomic sort that is more familiar to the Western culture.

The article puts "high-impact" in quotes. The thesis as I understood it is not that gain-of-function research is higher impact, but that it's _a_ fertile knob capable of stamping out adequate papers. The externalities here should put it out of bounds of the Science Game. The author is basically saying, go find other knobs to play your games.

The biggest problem with right turns are:

1. Free rights a uncontrolled right turns that don’t protect crossing cyclists and pedestrians through time based segregation.
2. No physical/grade segregation. Cyclists become invisible in blind spots during right turns because intersections are terribly designed to support anything other than cars. A well designed intersection puts cyclists in front of cars where they are visible at all times, instead of in a blind spot.
