> How do you do deployments?

For executables: actual real statically linked binary. You have a single executable containing all the dependencies and all necessary runtime support.

For libraries: no standard mechanism. On Linux, you can generally make a "libfoo" package that specifies the dependencies. On Windows, this is a bit more of a problem, but people can and do just hand out a DLL.

Or you make people build the dependencies from source as well.

(As an old school C developer, I see containers as occupying the same conceptual space as statically linked binaries for distribution. It's just that very few other languages will let you make a true standalone executable.)

Completely fair if that's the case.
You haven’t really touched on the main problem discussed in the article, which is that to Facebook, there are special users - mainly celebrities and politicians - who get to play by different rules than the rest of us. Social media was supposed to help level the playing field of society, not exacerbate its inequalities.
I've been a social media hermit for basically my entire life so far but folded in and installed IG a couple weeks ago once I entered university. It's sadly just the norm. Telling someone my age to "just not use social media" seems like a boomer's shriek, and almost every club or association manages does all its' event coordination and stuff over IG.

It's extremely hard to get by, keep up with people, or even make friends without it.

The same could also be said for Discord as well, which I've seen over the past 4-5 years grow from a gamer-exclusive chat platform to what is probably the #1 choice for students nowadays for group interactions.

As far as we've come though I still think these kinds of things are still in their infancy when it comes to their impact on us as a society, so I guess the best thing to do is just wait and see what happens.
Ditto. The important thing about the forums of yore were that they were largely composed of users who self-selected into it, and were oriented around a particular topic. They didn't have the thing were tons of people latched on and then just hung around for no reason other than their own boredom.

I think there's a fundamental difference in how forums are used vs social media. The catch-all nature of social media molds it into a device which people use to construct an idealized representation of themselves. Forums seem to head more in the direction of discussing/arguing about focused topics, rather than identity-creation.

As I was replying to someone else in this thread, it came to me that maybe part of the solution here is to investigate collaborative game play that involves the parents in the game. Not necessarily as a full peer, or as the leader, but keeping the parent abreast of what's going on.

I don't think there was ever a pillow or blanket fort as a child where the parents weren't briefly invited in to see what we did, and I don't think it's quite the same thing to show off your Animal Crossing island on the TV. We could probably find more inclusive ways to do it, especially for games that are skewed younger, during earlier developmental stages.

I think this was your main point right? I also feel the same, but not because of Twitter. I think Twitter is an amazing social platform but it takes certain type of people to succeed on it. I'm sure there are tons of people who are very smart and is making more or creating something cooler but not broadcasting it on Twitter. Maybe you are one of those people.
There are quite a few people who really, really want the caste system implemented in the US. Extreme class disparity embedded into our justice system. We understate these efforts at our peril.
IMO "macrofamily" isn't a well-defined enough concept not to be disputed by definition. Sino-Tibetan and Afroasiatic are very large and very old, but not as controversial as Altaic; Austro-Tai and Dene-Yeniseian are classic "macrofamilies" in that they're positing old relations between different established language families, but they're increasingly accepted, at least as promising lines of research.

Lexical comparison isn't the standard for demonstrating language relatedness, though. Regular sound correspondences, morphological evidence, and commonalities in irregularities (e.g. English I/me ~ French je/moi or English good/better ~ German gut/besser) are ideal. Quantitative methods range from extremely preliminary to nonsense.

This might be unfair of me, but IMO research from the Greenberg school (the Starostins, Bengtson, Ruhlen, etc.) or the automatic phylogeny school (List, the ASJP, etc.) can pretty much be ignored.

My point is LineageOS is around 4 years old, so it seems a bit late. Considering most people had bit hard into the Apple or Google ecosystem by then.

That said, I can see picking up an older Android tablet (or phablet) and playing with LineageOS. But it would take a lot of tinkering (and free time) before I want to (or feel comfortable with the) jump from the iPhone as my everyday device.

I don't mean to sound pessimistic or dismissive. It seems like a great version of Android. And I do have secondary Android devices, so I'll give it a shot. But of course I cannot feel anything about it until I've tried it.
Ohhhhhhh, this explains a lot of the "Rust is the next great thing" I keep seeing around. Amazon has taken a page out of Microsoft's 90s playbook of embracing stuff and astroturfing their extensions until they claim it as their own and extinguish competition.

> Before cellphones you would just stare off into space (you're not getting any deep thinking or deep work done waiting in line) or would just browse the gum or trash magazines.

The key is that the "before cellphones" behavior often involved a greater connection to one's immediate surroundings, or being "present". The risk/concern with browsing a phone in these moments is that it promotes disconnection and feeds our brain's need for that next dopamine hit. Some hypothesize that this constant disconnection from "here/now" is part of society's broader problems and people increasingly look at the real world through the lens of social media, which we know to be a major distortion of reality.

Disclaimer: anecdote, sample size of one, etc...for me personally, I've been working hard not to fill those idle moments and instead focus on being present and stay in the moment. This could literally be as simple as noticing the variety of gum options in the checkout line. I already have dissociative tendencies due to PTSD, and one of the most effective ways for me to dissociate is to lose myself in the endless scroll. Conversely, staying present/connected to my surroundings helps my mental state immensely.

> To tap into the core layers of language, Starostin’s team starts with an established list of core, universal concepts from the human experience. It includes meanings like “rock,” “fire,” “cloud,” "two,” “hand,” and “human,” amongst 110 total concepts.

In English, "rock" and "human" are loans and "cloud" is an innovative form.

> For Proto-Japonic, we introduce two distinctly different versions of the wordlist, since there are some significant unresolved problems in its reconstruction where adhering to one or the other solution influences the results of testing – namely, the reconstruction of Proto-Japonic by Sergei Starostin (1991), later adopted for the Altaic etymological dictionary (Starostin et al., 2003), posits an initial *d- for Proto-Japonic, whereas a more conservative approach prefers the phonetic interpretation of the same phoneme as *y- (Martin, 1987, gives no preference to either approach; both Vovin, 2005, and Robbeets, 2005, explicitly reject *d-; see Supplementary Material for details). Ultimately, we have to perform two sets of calculations because of these differences in interpretation of Proto-Japonic phonology.

There's no legitimate reason to follow Starostin here - that reconstruction is based on back-projection of an obviously secondary fortition specific to Yonaguni.

I'm sure they have, but not all of them have the means (and time) to bypass some of the measures, defeating single-source-IP[1] bots and script-kiddies can cut down on the amount of bots.

It's an arms-race that I've fought on both sides of: deploying anti-abuse measures and writing a very well-behaved scraper; unfortunately some sites block all scrapers despite their behavior, and you have to figure out how the detection is done empirically and enjoy your short-lived victories while they last. On the defensive side, you continually have to update your detection heuristics, and the short-lived victories.

1. I also have a read-only Twitter archiving bot that doesn't hide its nature (the handle is "${NOUN}bot"). It runs from a single VPS at regular cron intervals. It'd be trivial for Twitter to detect this and make it not worth my while.
Well here's one thing: they tend to cite sources. Do you have any actual data on your assertion? What you "fail to see" is merely a statement of your observation skills. I would like to compare that with other sources that aren't so clearly biased.
"based on" is very different from "is", especially when the source isn't copyleft.

One thing to highlight how important this may turn out to be:

> Proof-carrying data (PCD) enables a set of parties to carry out an indefinitely long distributed computation where every step along the way is accompanied by a proof of correctness. It generalizes incrementally verifiable computation

This has the potential to remove the element of trust that you currently must place in the provider of computation resources. With SNARKs you can simply ask them to include a proof that they actually performed the computation that is sublinear in the length of the proof and sublinear in the amount of time taken to verify the proof.

Of course this will always be more computationally expensive for the provider of the computation resources to both do the work and provide the proof.
Okay, now, who pays for the difference?
They aren't perfectly usable if they've been used. Semiconductors are kind of like toothpaste - if they've been used, you don't really want to buy them.

This is largely because the cost of any individual component is so much less than the cost of a finished assembly, or the cost of a defective assembly. Inserting used components into your manufacturing process (unless they're very high value or rare parts), is asking for trouble.

These components need to be stored properly to be effectively assembled, and you'd never be sure of why the used one were thrown out. Especially as many types of damage or degradation would either require very substantial and specific testing rigs, or else be challenging to identify in the first place.

Putting them inside a vehicle isn't a viable option from an safety or economic perspective.

I don’t see how that is, at least when quantifying over a countable set. A sigma-algebra is closed under countable unions and countable intersections, and that lets us produce events corresponding to quantification over a countable set.

Like, we can talk about the probability that a particular sum of random variables converges, by handling quantifiers in this way.

That seems like handling quantifiers and probability together well.

Now, nesting “the probability of” type expressions, is maybe another story? But I’m not sure that that’s a problem with “extending logic”
it sounds like you are assuming they collected more data than they reported, is there evidence of that? They preregistered to collect 60, but they couldve simply been unable to collect that many (eg COVID).

If it was preregistered perhaps the journal were obligated to publish the results no matter the outcome. Some journals do this ostensibly to combat publication bias.

I didn’t read the whole thing: are the authors actually claiming the human data are informative? If so, that is wrong. But if they are just saying “hey, these are the data!” I wouldn’t be so harsh.

Edit: Just read the methods. Data collection was 2016 to 2020, so COVID probably wasn’t the issue. They were selected for poor memory yet normal cognition in other domains, so it is possible they couldn’t recruit the number of subjects they proposed who met this criteria and also were willing and able to complete the treatment.

I’m now quite confident the memory result is regression to the mean, and therefore nothing to do with the treatment.

I also read the portion of the discussion related to cognition. They are claiming to have found something meaningful (in the human data) when they definitely haven’t.

> I am arguing this. Enron and Microsoft are examples. What small company CEO is capable of directly blowing up billions of dollars? Or with Nadela, pulling off a turnaround worth multiple billions? These are larger effects that are inaccessible elsewhere.

But Enron is the absolute extreme case, not the typical case - and even there, there were large numbers of individuals involved in Enron's scandals so you can't just point to the CEO. Where's the evidence that Nadela was the primary factor in Microsoft's performance in the last 10 years? Was Steve Jobs a bad CEO because he was run out of a (then-failing) Apple? The point I'm trying to make here is that I don't think there's any evidence that CEOs at most big companies are "adding value" on the scale required to make your argument work - that CEOs deserve their extremely high pay because they provide extremely high value. (Do CEOs in the United Kingdom, Japan, or Germany provide substantially less value?). I think it seems much more reasonable that large company performance has to do with a huge number of factors, of which CEO performance is but a small one, and that CEO pay has more to do with the tax/regulatory regime as well as political and cultural attitudes.

> It is highly relevant. It's why US manufacturing collapsed, because China does it cheaper and better. The average Joe now has to compete with an increasingly global workforce who have a lower cost of living and no minimum wage laws.

It's a little bit relevant. The average Joe now has to compete with an increasingly global workforce, but that may actually increase the average typical salary of domestic workers as much as decrease it, because jobs that can be done more cheaply are not done in the United States.

> This is a great point but I will take issue with your claim that it has "nothing" to do with performance.

Sorry, "nothing" was a little hyperbolic.

I'm glad we agree then inequality is political and not some emergent economic property :). You simply happen to buy into the current political justification for inequality ("people who add more value earn more money") but not myriad past ones ("the nobility and the clergy provide important functions to a harmonious society" or "property rights are inviolable").
