You say that architecture CAD programs simulate things better than physical models with a lot of confidence, but I am not sure why.

One way to think of this is that the physical world is a vastly superior computer. We cannot make a fluid simulation that runs as precisely as an actual river, for example. Tribological models have to make tons of approximations since friction is insanely complicated - but the physical universe manages to calculate the real friction effect basically instantly!
Yes, it was a mistake to leave the equipment, I don’t dispute that. I’m stating that the problem can be fixed from the air.
Ironically, it would make you a better swimmer - it will help you build up strength, stamina, and technique.

An excellent choice in analogies.
http://ai./ and https://ai./ does not work either. Is that an issue with my DNS resolver?
You're incredibly wrong. The vaccine is safe. It works. And it's the only tool that will end the pandemic.

What does someone need to say to you for you to start caring about other people?

Or is this some bogus "the man is making money!" lines of thought? You realize that the vaccine makers have already made their money...right? They're all been paid to make the vaccines: that's why they're free at point of distribution. You getting a shot doesn't get them any richer. In fact, you can help big pharma make more money by getting sick. When you are slowly suffocating to death as your lungs fail, in your panic, you'll absolutely ask for anything to be out into your body for the hope that you won't die in agony (there's no treatments or cures, so it'll be a crap shoot).

Though, maybe you will avoid the same end as so many other Americans...

I'm glad you said that you won't get hospitalized because you have said that you refuse to be vaccinated. Because, honestly, while I hope that you don't die of this extremely preventable disease, I also hope that you don't waste other people's time. I have family that work in the ER. They've been doing this for over a year now: they exhausted themselves trying to save people before there was a way to prevent COVID.

Now....after having to interact with increasingly hostile patients (because only the unvaxxed are getting sick enough to be hospitalized) they don't really have any patience anymore. t
They're tired of seeing scared unvaxxers coming in, being angry, and demanding the vaccine as they're dying. Only to get more hostile as they have to explain to them that there's no cures, no treatment, and that it's way too late to get vaccinated. They're past the point of empathy for people that can't even do the bate minimum to take care of their own health.

And, by the way, the unvaxxed are the only ones dying of COVID now. At worst, vaxxed folk come into the ICU for a day or two; never need a ventilator. The unvaxxed come in incredibly sick; more and more I get reports that young (20-40) are getting deathly ill. And, even more shocking, delta hits kids much harder than alpha: they're saying in droves now too. It's no longer a disease of the elderly and feeble anymore.

I've heard enough horror stories to say with sincerity that I hope you don't get vented. It's a terrible way to die: to have your last days on earth be around strangers looking down at you through masks and goggles while you're physically unable to speak. Slowly suffocating to death as a machine works increasingly harder to force air into your decaying lungs. Once you go on a vent, your chances of survival are depressingly low.

Good luck.
I get those exact same warnings in Vim :)
The thing I hate most about IDEs is when they insinuate themselves into a project's development workflow so deeply that you can't make do without them.

Do I have to spin up a whole session of the IDE just to run my test suite? Do I have to dig through eleven nested GUI settings dialogues to find out what the command to build the damn project is, just so I can tweak a build parameter? Is there so much boilerplate or XML or whatever within the frameworks we're using that writing or changing code is impossible without automation? These are bad things.

An IDE can be a powerful abstraction, but when the underlying layer it's abstracting over becomes inaccessible, then all it's doing is adding more complexity by obscuring concrete details.
Yes turns out dropping support entirely is less risky than bad updates tanking performances, because you’re not immediately and personally causing issues.

Another advantage is better naming, better parameters, as you need to remember them. I would say less bugs also as you have most of it in your head.
> To be fair, if the rest of your pipeline runs in the megabytes per second, then memory allocation might as well be free from a speed point of view.

This is important, but I think sometime people struggle with this sort of thinking. I struggled to explain a similar concept to a junior engineer recently. He was very keen to try to optimize part of a process that wasn't the bottleneck. I tried a couple approaches, like benchmarking various parts under different conditions, modeling it to calculate how speeding up different components would take.

I wasn't convincing, unfortunately, so he implemented some changes that sussessfully sped up one part but didn't improve end to end performance. I think sometimes you need to see it with your own eyes.
Am I the only one that giggled reading the title?
> Everyone should try to have a heart of gold to their other coworkers

But the company as an entity cannot and will not. It exists in the harsh environment of capitalist competition, and must often jettison "kindness, friendship and compassion" in how its human resources are treated.

Individuals within a company can strive against its nature, but only up to a point before it either resists or perishes.
Ok, a lot to unpack here. The viewpoint I am presenting is not novel and is what the paper is about. These “academic” notions of fairness are things you can prove for models, unlike ad-hoc variants that “feel” fair. So it’s not “my” viewpoint, but the broader “academic” viewpoint.

If you look at section 5.2 of this paper and re-read my post, you will probably better understand what I mean
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.06883.pdf

A very similar example is discussed in 6.2 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1104.3913.pdf, which is a seminal work in the field. Also see Appendix A point 2 for more discussion on encoding race/sex in correlations.

My top-level post was asking what we care about, which is in-line with the running example. I doubt society really cares too much about fairness in running vs. say insurance claims and race. My point is that even with a perfect correction model, you still need to agree on what correction to apply.

And yeah, for DNA, I agree with what you said. But if you use the same “unfair” model for non-personal use, you very quickly start running a eugenics program (e.g., deny healthcare for all people with a marker for cancer), which is generally viewed as bad. Basically, if you aren’t impacting society (e.g., personal use), then fairness is irrelevant.
Also DVC, which has gotten really good in the last 2 years.
Ugh, sorry for being jaded, but at some point I just become very tired of more anodyne self-help advice packaged under a new title. I mean, "get good sleep", "reduce stress" - this is obviously not bad advice, but it's the equivalent of telling overweight people to eat less and exercise more, point being if just giving that advice actually changed people's behavior we'd all be athletic and svelte.
The headline made me think it was a different bridge of Leonardo's. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-design-for-a-temporary...
Herd immunity would usually be defined as: if a contagion is introduced to a community will it spread uncontrolled or will it die off. Reff < 1 implies it will die off, Reff > 1 implies it will spread. Herd immunity does not mean that the contagion is not present within the community or anything about the relative risk between immune/non-immune community members.
Because Tesla is becoming a luxury tech brand, like Apple.

Almost no one buys Apple products for the tech anymore. It's all about aesthetics and brand identity. They might have had the best products at one point, but that's become secondary to their continued success.

Who wants to be the scrub with yet another iPhone when all the cool kids have the new Tesla phone that matches their S3XY electric car?
One way to hack stress is to consider that there's some things that happen that are inherently stressful, and then there's the way we perceive or respond to it that can also add to that stress. I have found meditation and reframing the situation to be powerful tools for that.

With sleep, one might not be able to get more hours or sleep, but it's possible to improve the quality of sleep. For example I recently was not sleeping well, was diagnosed with a sleep apnea, and now using a CPAP machine allows the sleep I do get to be better quality. Other things: journal and meditate before bed to calm the mind, stretch/yoga/qigong to relax the body
I find some of the media mentioned hard to watch, like I would video of any other psychological or physical abuse. I'm not a bleeding heart, but I think that sort of "reality" TV is our little Coliseum.
Call center metrics are all about average call length. However, the slowness of the software is largely ignored, in my experience. I worked at a call center once where logging in to the network would take approximately fifteen minutes, depending on workstation, before you could actually start working. They just didn't care. At this particular call center, average handle time was expected to be kept under 6 minutes. One day I had a very good average of under 5 minutes per call, and I received a single inbound call that required use of their translation service (which was a number with which you would dial and initiate a three-way call, and that would translate between you and the caller, with all the requisite delay between communications that one would imagine). That call ballooned into a 45-60 minute ordeal that totally screwed my handle time for the day. The shit cherry on top? The next day, I got bitched at because my handle time for the previous day was too high. When I said "well, that one call was a translator and took like an hour" the only response was "your handle time is too high, don't let it happen again". By the time another week had passed, I had already left the position.

Call center jobs are largely exploitative and demeaning. Outsourcing customer service should be illegal, period.
It doesn't have to be a lot of everything. A shower can take 10 minutes or less, exercise can be as basic as a few push-ups, jumping jacks, etc. I varied my routine over the week. Some days I did 45 minutes of exercise, some days none. I didn't intend to be overly precise in the article, sorry about that ;-)
Wow, that lasted less than a year. Well done. At some point maybe all their stuff will be vaporware you have to preorder and then 9 months later they can return 40% of your money and cancel the order.
Really good question. In our customer dev, we tended to find the older guys were a more motivated initial audience because health concerns are more top of mind. Plus there's still a lot of hesitancy & stigma around medication for obesity, but the older guys are more ready to take that step.

Fella works just as well for younger guys. Any more questions I can answer?
For comparison, at one point I had three Samsung J2s all with different chipsets...
I don't think gambling is an addiction.

I suppose I could be convinced that gambling is sufficiently similar to (e.g.) alcohol addiction that withdrawal can be a serious medical problem without treatment. But I haven't heard that yet.

I think nicotine addiction is a thing; but as a smoker myself, I think the addiction aspect is overblown. The agitation and distress you mention can last for months, or even years; that's what I'd call "craving". but physical withdrawal takes 72 hours (roughly), and is never very severe - it's mainly shakiness, aches, sweats, and fluctations in body temperature. That's if you've got it really bad.

Addicts, smokers and gamblers all get cravings. I suppose sex addicts do as well; perhaps there is even a set of people who have cravings for Rum Baba.

Some people apparently get their dopamine high from fighting; I don't expect anyone from the gambling-addict or sex-addict groups to jump up and say that addiction to fighting really is an addiction. I'm told that joggers feel distress when they break their ankle, and can no longer jog. Sorry, but I 'm not prepared to call that "jogging addiction".

I'm afraid I'm not at this time prepared to accept that dopamine addiction is a thing. Dopamine is released into the brain routinely, by "normal" people who neither smoke nor gamble.

Dopamine withdrawal never results in life-threatening symptoms like seizures. Ergo, withdrawal from real addictions is not the same as dopamine withdrawal.
Supported means many different things. Ideally, I want to know if the device is going to last, or if it's going to end up bootlooping and being a big PITA like the Nexus 5X, before I buy it. That requires that it be on the market for a considerable amount of time. In this case, the 4a 5G is discontinued after less than a year in the market; it may continue to be sold, but likely not for very long.

Free repair if that happens is nice, but also not that helpful unless being out a phone for a week is fine, and losing your on device data is fine.
Traffic rules basically give drivers a way to deal with other vehicles going different speeds. So a the driver of a scooter going 20 mph and the driver of a car going 40 mph can share the same road, just like a driver of a truck going 40 mph can share the road with the driver of a car going 60 mph.
So, basically meditate and try to be in a moment.
The climatic question he's asking is,

"What are the big physical world areas where we may see even more issues with state capacity?"

I think the one that's been most underreported and affects all this is money management. This is pretty clear in wars, but also domestically. The federal and state government has been defrauded for a large portion of the money it has been spending on unemployment benefits and small business loans.

It has an incentive to underreport these because it's hard to verify, and it makes them look bad, and they are the only ones with the accounting information.

But we're slowly finding out that it's been trivially easy for foreign actors and low-tier criminals to each steal millions or hundreds of thousands from states and federal programs.
That argument can easily be turned around by adding a short phrase:

As long as you're working on a fairly standard type of project much of the taxing minutiae of programming is automated away by a good IDE that, unless you're working on a very small project, the time and effort saved is worth it.

In other words, that IDE which may assist you while you're building yet another CRUD project gets in the way when you're, say, developing a driver for a sensor on an IP camera based on a reverse-engineered example.
Those are real issues but that misses the point that iPhones have seven years of support which also decreases the TCO of the iPhone to around 62% less than the competition.
The viral infections don't make the perfect amount of spike protein for every complete viral particle that comes from the cellular infection, when the cell bursts open plenty of spike proteins and other partially assembled viral components are put into the blood stream.

I'd think that if the spike protein was causing the reactions you mentioned we would have seen the spike protein is dangerous. An active infection is going to make more free floating spike protein in your body than the RNA vaccine ever did.
"Now some are questioning whether the scientist himself is being dishonest" kinda undersells it. The debunking offers numerous pieces of stone cold proof that the paper is straight-up academic fraud: https://datacolada.org/98

And since the post says "the fourth author has made it clear to us that he was the only author in touch with the insurance company", it seems clear that Ariely personally fabricated the data.
Android is a software platform. Look at the stuff that people did on IBM PC (a hardware platform).

And also?

> on chromebooks can i sync a bluetooth mouse and it show up on my other chromebooks?

This is pure software. I could do that between a Debian machine and a Windows machine, if I wanted. You're overstating the need for software / hardware integration.
The problem with not checking email during weekends or vacation is that the emails don't go away, they accumulate. So when you're back to work you have even more stress trying to catch up.
The Pixel 6/6 Pro are rumored to have a 5-year support lifetime (in exchange for costing a grand). If true, I'm getting one. The Pixel 2 XL has been a great phone, despite spending all of Android 10 with most of the sensors not working due to some widespread corruption issue that would have necessitated a hard reset.
Someone asked about this at the AI day. There won't be ugrades, Musk said that HW1 will be full self driving, just not as good at it as HW2 same way not everyone is equally good at driving.

What are some hosted saas offerings to add comments to your site/blog?
I've seen disqus just from being a webizen but what else is out there?
I am currently in the same situation. I joined a reputed service based company after graduating last year. This is what I am doing in the projet.
1. Deliver the work on time.
2. Helping my team members. I wasnt saying NO initially.
3. Understanding requirements.
4. Production deployment.

Things I dont want to do.
1. Delivering other team members work.
2. Connect on call with team members more than 5 times for the same issue.
3. Explaining the requirements to team members who intentionaly did not listen carefully during the call and later messaging Hey what was the new requirement?.
4. Picking up gossip calls from team leader. I did not wanted to do this, but team leader keeps pushing.

Yesterday I asked my team lead that how all this is affecting me both mentally and physically.

Guess what. He sent an email involving upper management and ordered me to carry on.

F*k them and the project. I resigned. And I am happy that after 2 months I will be parting ways with the company and will have some peace of mind.
With respect to alcohol, perhaps you don't realise that abrupt withdrawal from alcohol can result directly in death. It's a lot more serious than withdrawal from heroin.
Since he mentions learning Kanji, I just started learning Chinese Hanzi symbols with an Anki deck.

How does Supermemo compare to Anki?
I use both, one method is just less restrictive.
you could make the same argument about any modern technology
But you don't use git to write your code. Code autocompletion and cross referencing are pretty big productivity boosters that won't prevent you from learning command line git. Also I bet you don't use the command line for diffing files.

Also the problems is that most IDEs half ass their git client. When I was using Sourcetree, I rarely ever felt the need to go to the command line.
Show HN: Spin-up a small HTTP server from the command line
Simple command line tool reading from stdin and serving it on localhost(by default port 8000). Has the option of setting the port number and custom http headers. Created from the need to test setting custom http headers to see their effects on embedded website content.
I agree: it makes a necessary small special case a huge special language of its own.
It is more nuanced. A lot of science is settled and e. g. moved over to technology. All semiconductor devices rely on what was groundbreaking science (as well as simple electricity on even earlier groundbreaking science). The latest when it became technology that part is settled (because it is then reproduced million of times).

Problem is some fields which do not systematically reproduce findings, or that it is even discouraged to reproduce results are not in a good shape and encourage (not deliberately) p value hacking at the one end and fraud at the other.
We have that to. We even have post Mortem debugging. Did you know you can load a core dump into gdb? To me it seems like a new generation of developers is reinventing the wheel because they don’t know about what tools are available.

I'd edit that to say that it is easier to incorrectly believe that something new is important to the business but that you really do need to make the same impact argument in both cases.
Yes - but we used to have one. It was "addiction".
Another strangely abusive environment is theatre. Theres just like, a very weird culture of entitlement and control among the directors I’ve dealt with. It feels super unnecessary to the end product, just a side effect of… some confluence between egos, culture, and borderline personality disorder, I guess
I find the vilification of Gordon Ramsey misguided. He is the nicest man in the kitchen (not to mention the world's top TV chef at the moment). Look how tenderly and patiently he acts with his own children in the kitchen segments where they appear. If he's dealing with an idiot sandwich, yeah, he does what needs to be done, but he is never wantonly or arbitrarily abusive, and it makes satisfying watching to boot!
> What about refactoring tools?

The old unix editors have had rename across project, find references, go to definition/implementation for several years at this point via lsps (the same way vscode gets its functionality).

> What about integrated debugging

Those are usually (slightly ecosystem dependent) wrappers around a terminal debugger.

> What about hot reload?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are also wrappers around cli functionality (once again, might be ecosystem dependent). And you're probably just saving yourself the trouble of writing/running a script.
Specs like a 2013 smartphone, and an OS without any commercial app support to speak of. Can't read my work e-mail, can't access my bank...a computer without useful software is only a toy, and the same goes for a phone.
NurtureShock, a book about parenting and child development research, has a chapter discussing how children's television shows kids behaving badly for dramatic reasons, followed by a resolution that "teaches a lesson". It turns out that, instead of learning the lesson, kids just internalize the bad behavior.

I wonder if a similar phenomenon happens with adults, especially since these reality shows don't even have the redeeming/lesson element. These shows reinforce dysfunctional culture by making it look normal and/or exciting.
I've become a bit skeptical that the "loading, please wait" delays are real. It seems like they're often used for upselling me to some other product, while I'm just trying to get my current one fixed.
Is the author an acknowledged genius?

There seems to be a gap between people who are solidly competent in a domain and perhaps somewhat more creative and insightful than average, and extreme gamechangers who completely transform an existing domain and/or invent a completely new one.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but the author seems more of the former than the latter.

That's not a bad goal in itself, but I'm always wary of people who seem to be applying the latter label to themselves.
