I like how their description of "Refuting the central point" is "refuting the central point" without explicitly telling us how that is different from "Refutation".

Also "Name Calling" is a form of "Ad Hominem".

And why is "using quotes" higher up than "reasoning and supporting evidence"?

Also, isn't the entire pyramid about the level of counter argument? So, contradiction is inherent in the process. It really seems like "Counteragrument", "Refutation", and "Refuting the central point" are all about the same thing. And if they are different then "Refutation" and "Counterargument" are ordered wrong. Because I think using reasoning and supporting evidence would be stronger than quotes.

So, really, this pyramid could be like 4 layers. Ad-hominem, Tone Policing, Simple Contradiction, Counter Argument
This is not a good argument overall for several reasons. First, we should aim to greatly exceed human performance on safety. Second, whatever work goes into making the algorithms work well using vision can just as easily still inform a system that fuses that data with LIDAR for enhanced situational awareness and safety.

Don't consider it a backup until you've successfully restored the data from it.

The first thing I do after setting up a new data backup is test a restore of the data. Only after that will I feel confident that the backup procedure works right.

In the article author's case, an attempt to restore would have caught the problem of the missing .env files and the large movie files.

As for the Ctrl-C on both the backup and restore, you should check your I/O (network and disk) before terminating a process. Doing that would have confirmed that the process was still going, and indicate the rate at which the process was going.

There's a deeply ingrained conviction (that I'm also a victim of) from generation of our grandparents and blue collar jobs that the work ain't real work unless you put 8hr of sweat and pain and you're dead at the end of the day.

In fact, it’s illegal in a lot of places. Often the most desirable and expensive neighborhoods in modern cities would be illegal to construct now due to setback requirements, size, density zoning, and parking minimums.

I recognize that I am blessed, and most people aren't wired like me, and the isolation has been really tough for them. When I interact with people over videoconference, I have to remind myself that this person might very well be suffering to the point of a mental breakdown from all this, and I need to communicate with care and thoughtfulness.

This is what I hope everybody else can come out of the pandemic with: empathy, particularly for people like you and me who have thrived during the pandemic. Unfortunately, I fear you are an exception and people will push to make things just how they were before, as evinced by your email. On the bright side, I think it will at least get a little easier to find remote jobs, etc moving forward.

yep - I came in here to talk about "familiarity" as the bedrock of how we listen to tunes. In my estimation, music is a constant juggling act between familiarity and novelty, and bending too much on one side or the other trends towards boredom.

I would argue that some of the pure intonation music (i.e. Michael Harrison's Revelations) or alternate tuning (i.e. Lamonte Young's Well Tuned Piano) is striking initially because of how alien it sounds, but to my ear a lot of it doesn't feel like it does too much more than that both as a function of the tuning and the difficulty in building a moving composition in something so foreign.

The standard tunings in Western Music are well-worn, but they can give a rich vocabulary for dissonance and consonance and have the psychological familiarity to build up emotional abstractions that some of the more adventurous scales do not.

> but median measurements exist

Sure, but that's hardly a panacea. There are better and worse analysis, but this stuff is genuinely not easy to do well. No simple statistic alone will do it if you are comparing quite different distributions.

The US is well below many European countries (and others) by median wealth, and well above the same ones by mean wealth; That doesn't paint a clear picture either.
TL;DR it remains to be seen if DIDs create more problems than they solve.

I think you got it correctly. "DID" is basically a qualifier for identifiers which can have metadata resolved about them using 'some mechanism', and there are 100+ mechanisms (DID methods). These all have varying technical and non-technical differentiating factors, partially described in the DID Rubrick https://w3c.github.io/did-rubric/ .

DID methods will not have consistent features nor will the metadata resolved by them consistently meet your data requirements, so you will be limited both in terms of methods you can accept for your use case, and DIDs you can accept within that.

One if the base ideas is that it puts users in control of their identity by "owning" a DID, presumably with a lot of local software assistance. This is likely not a single DID, both for interoperability and privacy reasons.

It is also likely the DID will be "controlled" by others in some cases - e.g. if a employer or bank accepts DIDs as an authentication system, they will want to be able to guarantee the authentication meets their standards/regulatory requirements.
The article is critique of SimCity, because it claims to be realistic and even educational, but actually has some serious biases. It's not a lament that's it not perfect. Indeed, the article goes on to explain how games shouldn't try to be perfect.

> Maybe people who play games for enjoyment don't want the weight of modern problems bearing down on them during their escapist recreation. Maybe people who play games don't want to be preached to.

SimCity represents some modern problems anyway, and plenty of people don't like it for that reason. Also, why is this any reason to not critique a game? No one has to read the article if they don't want to be preached to.

> In fact, this essay is nothing but one of the many deconstructionist essays, one which prefers to tear down instead of build up. To highlight problems instead of celebrate what is good.

The article actually goes on to explain how to build better games and showcases examples. The author is literally building up their own game in response to the problem of SimCity.

Why does the eco-friendliness of the processor you're testing on matter at all? I can guarantee you that your users are not going to go out and purchase less power-efficient CPUs themselves just because you tested on a power-inefficient CPU yourself.

And, the amount of electricity that you, the developer, spend testing your code will almost always be eclipsed by that of your users if more than a dozen others use your tool.

So, again: why does it matter how power-efficient the CPU you're testing on is, as long as it's slow (to produce the proper throttling effect)?

>"Propaganda is information (delivered through any medium) designed to persuade, manipulate emotion, and change opinion rather than to inform using logical truths and facts. The aim of propaganda is to change minds via the use of emotion, misinformation, disinformation, truths, half-truths, and cleverly selected facts; not to enlighten (although one can technically propagandize true information, using emotion to sell truth, this generally isn’t what we are talking about when we use the term “propaganda”

I'm pretty sure most people who identify as "atheist" and "agnostic" have pretty similar views about God and the possibility / improbability of its existence.

The main difference is simply a difference in opinion of what words mean.

People who use the term "agnostic" are usually going by the formal philosophical definitions of atheism (where atheism requires evidence against God).

People who use the term "atheist" are usually using the more informal definition of atheism (where atheism is simply a lack of belief).
And yet, Ad Hominem is useful, especially since certain channels are clearly propaganda.

Is it a shortcut? Yes. But as the blogpost points out, misinformation spreads far more quickly than truth. Its easier to shortcut and label certain outlets as propaganda channels, to help focus the discussion on the few channels which are reliable (Associated Press is good and neutral, and mainly factual)
Bitcoin is taking up all the water
Hey @hboon, we don't yet have direct wallet integration or deep links, but it's in the roadmap. We'd like to integrate walletconnect.org, walletlink.org, metamask, or similar.

Currently, adding wallets to Hedgehog lets you add a public address that can be scraped for transactions and balances, or an api key if the wallet is an exchange.
Segwit itself provided an effective 2x increase in onchain transaction capacity and it fixed transaction malleability which was necessary for lightning network. Lightning network has 50,000+ open channels where payments can be routed without going onchain. Given the lightning network’s strict requirements to keep a node online & responsive, less you lose all your funds, I think that’s extremely impressive and shows a real demand for fast cheap payments.

Now, in November taproot/schnor activates which gives us ptlc’s on the lightning network as well as makes a lightning channel opening transaction look like a normal single signature transaction, yay privacy. All of this lays the groundwork for the next major base layer change, in probably ~2023, anyprevout. This will give us “eltoo” on lightning which is nirvana. Eltoo removes the penalty mechanism which makes running a lightning node on a mobile phone or home node much more reasonable.

Protocols take a long time to develop, especially ones where a miss-step could mean the loss of billions of dollars.

> Work hard when you are young so you can be lazy later if you want. Maybe you will always work hard because you like it, but give yourself the option.

Great advice. Start really early with honors/AP English classes and you might not even have to work that hard at all. Nothing teaches you to bullshit your way to success better than high school literature classes, which is a critical skill for lazy but productive engineers/managers who need to communicate their contributions instead of prostrating "work ethic."
It depends on your goals. Do you want to create a maximally fair society? Or do you want to minimize suffering? If it is the latter, it can be completely acceptable for aid initiatives to end up giving more to people who planned less well.

Good for you! You can continue working while other people take much needed time off.
The challenge for me that I always struggled to explain to my leadership is that in many cases, the time investment to make an accurate metric dashboard greatly exceeds just fixing the problem and knowing anecdotally that it works (I worked with ML Whisperers, people whom I trusted a lot to understand the underlying problems and filter out noise).

For example, in my case (sending machines causing invisible data corruption to be replaced) I could have been promoted by doing the following:

1) Finding a metric that correlated with the user pain that I was fixing. In this case, it would be something like "number of jobs that die with a NaN in 1 hour" while running an A/B test (half the jobs in the fleet have some feature enabled) and showign that, with significance, our fix reduces the number of NaNs significantly. (data driven)

2) Demonstrate that the NaN rate corresponds to user
productivity (this could be # of papers published, # of models trained per hour, whatever) and that high NaN rates really did have an effect (impact)

3) filter the data carefully, because the vast majority of nans are actually caused by user error, not silent data corruption (this was the actual hard part and nobody has a better solution than "run a determinstic calculation on 8 cores and use majority vote to find the baddie")

Run the above for 6 months, show it to all the execs in your division, get a few people from Search, Ads, YouTube or Research/DeepMind to say it increased revenue or decreased costs by 10%. Bingo: promotion, along wiht a full time job maintaining a dashboard with constant requests to add new features, fix code broken by other teams, and making even more presentations to execs on how dysfunctional it is.

Or, I could just focus on fixing the machines, hearing anecdotally from the ML Whisperers that it's working again, and go back to surfing hacker news and getting another 100 karma in a day.

And you should probably look into what the Men's Rights Activists are actually advocated for prior to passing judgement on a whole group.

Be aware that news in the US is very polarized and that online communities are often converge to echo chambers. The comments you read online and the people you meet there are probably the most active there. IRL, (at least in Europe) people are much less extreme than they are online. Remember that online, people tend to be more crass.

Don't read The New York Times or BBC at their word, just like you wouldn't take The Wallstreet Journal or The Washington Times at their word.

Sentences like

> Self-identified "mens' rights activists", by and large, advocate for mens' rights in much the same way as the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea is very, very democratic.

Can easily be modified to replace "mens' rights" with "feminists" and "feminism" and be just as wrong.

> I think it's low priority for the average Bible reader.

I'm not looking to debate the point, or anything like that, but wanted to suggest that "average Bible reader" might have a broader scope, depending on one's perspective.

At any given time there are millions of Catholics and Orthodox Christians around the world who are reading the Bible; consider also that there are readings (and other spoken/sung elements) in the liturgies of both East and West that originate from the deuterocanon, so it would be quite natural for someone to want to "read at home" and explore a text they heard read/sung aloud during Holy Mass or the Divine Liturgy.
