> Your idiosyncratic definition … is privileged and shitty

So you’re not saying it’s wrong, you’re just saying it’s offensive?

It’s not that idiosyncratic [0], though even if it were, appeal to the masses is a fallacy.

> If anyone other than yourself used this definition, it would prolong that racism.

I disagree. I don’t see how you can fight for race and fight against racism at the same time. I also don’t understand why you would want to - science is the ultimate ally.

A government which the Soviets then immediately and violently overthrew:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War#Red_...

>On 27 December 1979, 700 Soviet troops dressed in Afghan uniforms, including KGB and GRU special forces officers from the Alpha Group and Zenith Group, occupied major governmental, military and media buildings in Kabul, including their primary target, the Tajbeg Palace. The operation began at 19:00, when the KGB-led Soviet Zenith Group destroyed Kabul's communications hub, paralyzing Afghan military command. At 19:15, the assault on Tajbeg Palace began; as planned, General Secretary Hafizullah Amin was killed. Simultaneously, other objectives were occupied (e.g., the Ministry of Interior at 19:15). The operation was fully complete by the morning of 28 December 1979.
There is a similar story about an Argentinian advanced math competition where Alberto Calderon [1], one of the top Argentinian mathematicians at that time, said that one problem was extremely complex for the competition and later was presented in a basic analysis class in Madrid and solved by one student [2] (translated from Spanish).

Jackfruits are the world's largest fruit, but while they're a bit pungent, they're nowhere near as powerful as the actual smelliest fruit, the durian.
Excellent advice here on tools.

My biggest piece of advice, that resulted in my biggest push of productivity, was a daily routine tailored to how your performance varies over the day.

For me

(1) sitting down and writing (anything: paper, thesis, proposal, blog) first thing in the morning, before emails. You want the habit of writing, and feeling weird if you don’t. This is my peak performance for the day, the hardest thing for me.

(2) celebrate your writing with a nice coffee and find a nice place on campus to study a paper. My 2nd most demanding task.

(3) Lunchbreak with colleagues. Socialize, discuss ideas but also just fun.

(4) My low point after lunch, I’ll try to have meetings here or do some routine stuff (forms, reimbursement, news, internet).

(5) Exploratory research, programming, planning, ideation, discussions, brainstorming.

(6) Exercise, sport.

(7) Later in the day my programming would come back strongest towards the evening.

(8) If you have family, go see them and have dinner with them. If not, I’d get another coffee and see how far I can go.

EDIT: (9) Write the todo list for the next day and open the document you want to work on the next morning. You don’t want to waste any brain cycles in the morning deciding what to work on.

Of course this is different for everyone, but matching your productivity to the task will make it a habit and much more effective.

I listened to a podcast yesterday with the creator of SQLite who said they have billions of test cases running against the project at all times across hardware and software dating back decades at this point.

It really is a great project.
Huh. I've been running Consul since 0.7 or so, and the only time any of this happened was my own fault.

Most of the problems I've had with Vault have been around it's Terraform provider which they've improved enough that it's not an issue anymore.

I think the only thing about Raft that folks don't realize is how disk hungry it gets, if you want fast write performance you gotta make dang sure all those fsyncs can keep up. Our largest Consul cluster today runs on storage-heavy boxes as it does ~500Mb/s of writes pretty much 24/7.

I use Consul w/ Vault today instead of the internal storage for Vault just cause Consul has really nice monitoring around some stuff that Vault doesn't (path-based stuff for the most part), I think the internal storage is a really good option for 90% of use-cases.
Nice. Also post on indiehackers.com this sort of offer goes down well
I think you, and maybe others, are drawing way too many conclusions from something that's ambiguous and might well be misunderstood context.

Is it really unambiguously false that "some models [can] operate themselves"? Right up until they crash or the user is arrested.

Did you see the story about the guy who was "driving from the backseat", had his Tesla impounded, and immediately got another one to continue as before, on being released from jail?

The UX will be much easier for normal people as they don't need to create a new account, find their friends, etc each time they go to a new website or use a new app which by itself is a pretty big driver of acceptance. Users tend to care about what we call "network effect" which is what gives websites like Facebook such lock-in. Web3 apps that use your existing social graph let you simply use new features and use cases without needing to build the entire social graph from scratch.

With an open ecosystem where anyone can add features and create new apps that complement the existing use cases the amount of utility and innovation will likely outstrip organizations like Facebook which is already becoming bogged down in bureaucracy and losing ground to networks such as TikTok. In the Web3 world the equivalent of Facebook and TikTok wouldn't be directly competing as they are part of the same network and function as networks of two different user groups while allowing further experimentation of use cases that might compose different aspects of both systems into something new without users needing to re-create everything from scratch.

The lower barrier to entry for developers to innovate and UX improvements for end users stemming from a seamless unified ecosystem seems like a better experience for everyone. It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out.
Well, yes, exactly. It's legal. An online service denying access to a movie you bought is just them acting on their right to do so because you never had a non-revocable license to use it. It was always their property. In both cases, people don't appreciate that what they feel is theirs isn't really theirs until it gets taken away. That's the whole problem.

You'll get tons of solicited and unsolicited advice - a lot of it will be contradictory, a lot will actually be the advice-giver's personal preferences disguised as advice, a lot will be aspirational or abstract and not super helpful. Trust yourself to identify the useful bits but don't be afraid to disregard most of what you hear.
Sorry, but "private email" is an oxymoron. This system sounds open, but also indelible. Can you make a self-destructing file? Sounds like your pseudonymous data can tracked, fingerprinted, and correlated to your real name, to me. And no rush, the data ain't going anywhere. Privacy's gotta be engineered. Today's strongest crypto will be plain in 100 years.

> At the same time, the main game loop of Don’t Starve seems like you have to memorize a bunch of survival tips and constantly read the wiki to survive, or you’re doomed after the first week for sure, and probably before.

In truth, I gave up after failing to thrive through four or five attempts. In other games, I hate the nagging tutorials and compulsory/free savepoints. But it seems like DS could've benefitted from some compromises here.

So, I 'cheated'. After telling a friend who was excited about the game that I'd given up, they told me about the cues the game was giving me and how to mitigate them. The dynamics of the game are somewhat open world (not quite Dwarf-Fortess level but lots of great flexibility in interactions/systems). After getting past some initial hiccups and knowing what the threats are (beyond starvation) and potential solutions means you can have a lot more fun. And it's a drag when you die but going from a clean start to a workable place is easily doable after you know the basics.

"Don't Starve Together" is a much easier way to be introduced to DS, especially when entering after the team has made some basic progress.
Beyond personal causes like metabolism or diet, there've been some fascinating discussions here in the past few months about why technologically advanced societies seem to have an exponential obesity problem starting around 1980, relative to other cultures that exercise less and take in more calories. I can't find the thread. But it definitely bears consideration. I think the view would be that hacking your way partially out of a problem isn't necessarily bad, but we've seen decades of data used to incorrectly imply one chain of causality or another and there's a larger problem to solve than a drug or a tummy tuck can tackle.

If the book is on surgical techniques... do I need to apply every technique to remember it?

Obviously, "applying" book knowledge is one of the least efficient or practicable way of improving retention. Also, it would be more around understanding the topics more thoroughly, especially if the author didn't do a good enough job of explaining the concepts already (it's easier to blame the reader, though).
I thought this was considered a best practice. Years ago people cited performance reasons but I think this doesn't make sense anymore.

you and I might not. but bugs happen. and sqlite being so permissive can aggravate the issue.
would you please clarify the type of fraud.

for example, I think a lot of people hear this and assume the fraud is like, caused by an OF model - not delivering what was promised for example..

However seeing your statement, I am thinking it's that much fraud because criminals are getting stolen card / Id details from the darker webs and they are using other people's cards for fun things - and OF is a popular place to blow other people's money.

Maybe it's a mix of both - but I would think it's more the other way.

I remember when there were big numbers of fraud pointed at adult sites back in the day - but the core reason was so many offered $1 trials, and it was a popular way to test if a card number you got was valid / not reported stolen yet - use a cheap porn site.

I saw a (possibly npr?) story a while back saying that many criminals are now using dominoe's pizza to test if (stolen ) cards are good, because it's cheap and they get a bonus free pizza for a friend.

So it's not the pizza place or the porn site that is really encouraging the fraud or creating it.. unless you get into the weeds of they accepted a card without the exact right address and so they are a target for card testers.. that's a different discussion and such.
If anyone could have killed the demon, surely it would have been a reelected president and 5-star "General of the Army". (It's not as though Truman the haberdasher would have had that sort of clout!) But that would have required years of work, and he was more interested in British Petroleum's plans for Iran.

He may have been thinking of his son John's safety and career in the military (somehow John became a general). If they can't get to you any other way, they can always put the screws to your kids. Look at how many presidential (and presidential candidate) children have been awarded bullshit media jobs for which they have no qualifications or aptitude.

This sounds exactly like a scenario that openfly gave a Defcon talk on a few years ago -- about old NASA data storage technology that is on the verge of becoming unreadable and how we have to think about the formats that we currently use and preservation into the future.
I'm now used to not looking at the phone most of the time. I do not have any social media apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or anything for a very, very long time. I'm not too keen on phone calls either. I look at text messages only when I'm expecting something.

However, I need the phone-smartness of Maps, Calendar, Health monitoring, and mostly photo/videography. It is impressive with the camera capabilities of phones these days.

A phone with just phone calls and text messaging will be highly irritating.

The correct strategy is not to conquer but to cull. From time to time, US should just send military in to render to site as vast land of death and pity-ness say under a week. Repeat this periodically over 50 years. No forces on earth would be able to sustain that even if Russian and Chinese combine forces. Sharp and devastating destruction played over years is extremely effective and much affordable than the current Afghan and Iraq 2 decades of debacles.
Gangs use of surveillance would ride on the back of their increasing awareness of counter-surveillance.

In my experience Overleaf is worlds better than using git to collaborate on a paper. Access control is easier, you can see where other people are working in the document, there's no need to mess with merging or handling conflicts. I'm pretty sure you can sync it to a git repo too if you really want a copy in git.
I think so! Not too far off from my setup.
Yep, this is a project out of the same world as Racket which does a similar thing.

If you go into the editor/REPL (https://code.pyret.org/editor)

I am in fact seriously suggesting just that. Responsible and ethical publishers own and correct their mistakes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erratum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_(newspaper)

https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2002/corrections-c...

The New York Times has a dedicated Corrections section:

https://www.nytimes.com/section/corrections

At the Washington Post you'll have to search for the string "Correction:" best I can tell:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=%22correcti...

The Post's corrections policy is noted here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/policies-and-standards/#corre...

Where stories are significant, a substantial and highlighted retraction is issued. An example from Rolling Stone: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/a-note-to-...

That was one of several notable 2014 retractons. Newsweek covers several of these: https://www.newsweek.com/faults-our-stories-year-retractions...

Other typical language is "correction" followed by "regrets the error". Sample searches:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Anytimes.com+%22correction%2...

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Awashingtonpost.com+%22corre...

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aeconomist.com+%22correction...

Note that online, corrections frequently appear in an updated version of the original article, though they are then noted in an additional comment. As in this NYT example: https://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/the-world-is-f...

Every last mistake and error cannot be corrected or retracted. But serious, responsible, ethical journalism makes a very earnest attempt to correct errors when they are brought to the publication's attention. And not to double-down on insisting on being wrong.

I try to do the same myself. As shown in my HN history: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
I use Readwise and honestly it's been game-changing. I highlight quotes out of books I'm reading in my Kindle, and everyday, Readwise sends me a random selection from quotes I've highlighted in the past. Such a simple idea, very low effort, but I definitely retain and absorb a lot more than I did before.

Ha, I thought the article was about durian fruit. When I worked recently in the Mid-West, I was in my favorite Asian grocery store and I randomly put some durian ice cream in the cart. The guy at the checkout register told me that I wouldn’t like it and called for someone to put it back in the freezer. I insisted, and he warned me it would smell bad. It did, but I ended up buying it frequently: I really liked it and I knew my wife would never eat it.
I used to feel this way too! But I've rethought it completely. The way I reframed is: If you spend money on a class, you can't then donate/sell that class to a used bookstore; I'm just turning the book into a class by writing in the margins. So, if I can increase my retention by 10% by writing in a book, I'm gonna write in the book. In reality I'm probably increasing my retention by something like 100% to 300%.

Thinking in these terms, I went from being just horrified at the idea of writing in books (I'm the kid of two college professors lol) to a huge advocate of it. There are some books I won't write in; the less related it is to my job & the more I'm just reading it for fun, or the more surface-level the content is, the less likely I am to write in it. (Also some UX books have really glossy pages and I literally can't.) (The one line I draw is, I will only write in pencil, never pen.) But most books I write tons and tons and tons of comments in the margins, and it really, really, really helps boost retention.

Also, writing in the margins is like actively participating in dialogue with the author and makes the experience a lot more engaging! Which makes me able to stay focused for a lot longer. Like if I'm not writing anything I'll start to get distracted / zone out after maybe 10 minutes, but if I'm interacting, I can stay focused for an hour or more. (Depends on the book and what's on my mind at the time and other environmental factors of course.)
My criticism is that this language is very similar to Python and might very well confuse students who ultimately have to switch to Python or other languages.
Chip development cycles are long enough that sometimes the only response companies have is to downplay their competitor's innovations until they have their own version. The hilarious part is that sometimes it works.

It is opinions though. "biggest robotics company" and "semi-sentient robots" are fuzzy statements subjectively redefined by the author in a way that enables her to claim they're false.
The way to remember what you read is to make sure you understand all the words in the text, the way they apply in context.

It's the micro-misunderstandings that lead up to the macro-misunderstanding which manifests as "forgetting".

Other commenters also mention applying what's in the book. That is 100% true, when you're reading about how to do something. If you're reading a fact-based book (non-fiction) but not about doing something I usually take a break from the text and think about how it would apply to the subject I'm studying. But it's just obvious that you can't get a concept if you don't understand the words that describe it.

The target is conceptual understanding. It's got nothing to do with memorization. TO get the meaning of a song, for instance, it's not necessary to memorize the lyrics.

One real-world example, I was taking care of my father in the hospital and I noticed one of the techs telling him that he needs to order his dinner from the "dysphagia" menu. I asked her if he could have some other soft foods from home and she said, "all I know is that he needs to order from the menu." I asked her what dysphagia means, honestly I didn't know. She didn't know. I looked it up and told her it means "difficulty in swallowing". She realized that she never actually understood the concept of WHY one needs to order from the menu. As if the food is somehow magic. So that helped her understand the concept of the rule, and why it applies and I am sure she hasn't forgotten it.

I don't take notes, mark up pages or speed read or use any crutch, trick or technique to study. I just get the definitions of words that I don't understand and I do just fine.
