It also makes those movies that really try to adhere to not breaking the suspension of disbelief for those things all the greater.

I too often find myself counting time and bullets. Stuff like that doesn't always arise in a vacuum, for me it was being exposed to movies that toed the line enough in most aspect that completely if iring certain things (like time or bullet counts) took me out of the film because it was so egregious, and then once you start seeing those things, it's hard not to be aware of them.

But, like I said above, those directors that go the extra mile to make everything line up provide that little extra bit of joy, just like little plot loose ends being nearly resolved when lesser directors wouldn't care to address them.
People seem to be thinking "if the predictor is not 100% accurate then I don't have to worry about the predictor, since it has already made its decision and now I should just get as much as I can". But if it's 100% accurate, your decision implies (if not causes) how much money you'll get, so shouldn't you make the decision that implies the most money?

It doesn't feel right for there to be one argument that applies below 100% and another at exactly 100%.
On Nethack, I'd recoment Slashem too, specially a patched up version from Github:

Slex is good, but it has too many roles, objects and additions.
That's some impressive debugging. I'd just have switched to Firefox long ago.
Is that true? Is there a source to back this claim up?
Incidentally a famous artifact called the Capitoline Wolf depicting Remus and Romulus nursing under a wolf was long thought to be an Etruscan artifact. A little while back I was reading a history of the arts published in the late 1990s that used it as an example of one of the high achievements of Etruscan art. It turns out, however, that radiocarbon dating done in the 2000s showed that it was actually a medieval work. Apparently there had been doubts about its origins for centuries, but they had mostly been ignored.

Fake news travels faster and convinces more people than the truth.
Hehe, yes, that occurred to me. But I've thought through a lot of kinds of scenarios and it seems like this "coloring" will lend some wonderful clarity while still accommodating all the things people might want to make with it. We'll see.

They don't, and I never suggested they did. Netflix had their own ISPs. Netflix wanted the Customer's ISP to give them free bandwidth so they could offload the traffic from their other ISPs.

Career advice hasn't changed much. Becoming a Wall Street influencer isn't a viable career plan for the vast majority of people, just like being a pro athlete or rock star.
- The plan was originally to design a syntax for a simple scripting language; but the more I designed it, the more I saw the ability to just bring in the rest of the language.

To represent all of Rust with only only a small set of ASCII characters, while keeping visual noise to a minimum, and still representing what the code was supposed to do was quite a riddle. I enjoy riddles.

- Changing lifetimes was due to the fact that ` does not conflict with any other part of Rust, I felt the concept of lifetimes deserved its own symbol, and it is much more readable when used as a prefix/suffix on a set of letters.

- The // characters stand out in a group of letters and numbers moreso than ||. In this manner, I can add highlight/significance to closure calls which can be deeply nested in function calls which are mainly chars [a-Z]. Also if you imagine you are in a circle: things loop in a straight line ||, but // would be take you on a diverging path.

- "analogous" "strictly transitive (by analogy) but you using it intransitively (as it were)"

This is very much intentional. Nouns do not exist in the real world, everything is verbing all the time. Languages have failings, they depend on the users of the language to use/redefine it as they see applicable.

The initial goal was to design an 'analogical' language. Or in other words: a language in which it's symbolic representation would correlate to the concepts being implemented. The first commit of the repo exemplifies this more.

- The macros can be translated directly into Rust, the first example is valid. Indentation would be substituted for a { on the macro call and the end of indentation would signify the }. As far as I know, leading and trailing whitespace is not a concern with Rust's macro system.

a) Making its own macro system would be futile considering most expressions haven't changed. It just requires more cognitive overhead to remember the ),; where applicable, but at least you only have to think about that stuff in macro calls.

b) If someone had to fallback to Rust when wanting to use this syntax, then the whole thing would be pointless and I would lament my time spent designing it to not learning how to bake crumb cake.

c) Now that's a lot of syntax trees...

The Apollo 10 transcripts are an absolute gem.

During lunar orbit, they discovered a rogue poop floating in the cabin [1]:

> Stafford: Who did it? (Laughter)

> Cernan: Where did that come from?

> Stafford: Give me a napkin quick, there's a turd floating through the air.

> Young: I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine.

> Cernan: I don't think it's one of mine.

> Stafford: Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away.

> Young: God almighty.

> Stafford: What do you see?

> Young: Nothing, that's enough for me.

> Cernan: Yes.

> Young: Nice going there.

> Cernan: No more turds are going to fit in there.

> Stafford: Is that waste compartment full?

> Young: No, hell; there's nothing in there.

> Cernan: It goes all the way down to the...

> Cernan: Hell, when I got in there, I had to stick my hand in there and [garble] - He put it in the bag, didn't he? You guys been trying to stick it through there with your fingers?

A few more choice quotes [2]:

> Stafford: [Garble] about that ascent stage. You know that? [Garble] son of a bitch [garble] screwed, you know? But that son of a bitch - John?

> Young: [Garble] burn [garble] God. What the hell is this shit? What? What is that crap those things [garble]? [Garble] putting my [garble].

> Young: Oh, what a life, being a spaceman. Wish I could have been a professor or something.

John Young was also the star of another great moment in NASA history, when he smuggled a corned beef sandwich onboard Gemini III [3]:

> Grissom: What is that?

> Young: Corn beef sandwich

> Grissom: Where did that come from?

> Young: I brought it with me. Let's see how it tastes. Smells, doesn't it?

> Grissom: Yes, it's breaking up. I'm going to stick it in my pocket.

> Young: Is it? It was a thought, anyway.

> Grissom: Yep

> Young: Not a very good one.

> Grissom: Pretty good, though, if it would just hold together.

i dunno, if i got one of these spams and it included a photo and description of the homemade robot that handwrote my name on the envelope that tricked me into opening it, i'd probably think it was so cool that i'd consider buying a house in texas just so i could hire the diy robot pen envelope people to represent me in a theoretical property value adjustment case with the local authorities.

As I understand it, selection effects are pervasive in education. It’s a lot easier to show good results if you can choose to teach only the smart kids.

So, on the one hand, teaching only two kids in a class of 40 is too easy. On the other, sometimes nothing seems to work because studies don’t account for inherent differences in aptitude.
Yeah, UPS bought out my entire childhood neighborhood because of all the noise they generate.
It did say in the article it could be applied to other jet engines. I'm guessing the military is bankrolling the research.

You almost certainly "consented" by checking "I agree" to the ToS.
Dependency Injection is just another way to curry. In both you are passing an argument. SPBS's post[0] is very similar.

All together, "Favor composition over inheritence" is like "Favor pipelining over currying/dependency injection".

It's interesting - some part of my intuition tells me, only something an uninitiate could not understand is what stops everybody from understanding a hard topic- but then how do uninitiates transcend from pre-understanding to understanding? Perhaps the process of understanding is a stable and reliably predictable one.. which bodes as good news for, well, everything!

Doubtless continuity goofs are a thing. But have you tried considering that a movie is a narrative? Try imagining that there are actual real events that the storyteller is describing, and then imagine that storyteller is only human and considerably less attentive to minutiae than you are. Perhaps the storyteller forgets to tell about the time the cowboy switched revolvers, or spends more time talking about what the hero is doing than the remaining time on the fuse would seem to permit.
Your question is rather general. The famous book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" discusses common mental errors. Also good is "Rational Choice in an Uncertain World: The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making".

I'd say that if there are several pieces of evidence in favor of some theory and several against, it is hard for people to weigh the entirety of the evidence. Instead they will often pick one salient fact and ignore the rest.

This sentence was a red flag in terms of the author’s credibility. The wealthy educated class the author generalizes about overwhelmingly despises socialism. This sentence also indicates that the author has internalized that tired misunderstanding “socialism is when the government does stuff”.
My understanding is that while the how is similar (both throw mountains generated input at the system), there's a qualitative difference in that pbt asserts that some fact holds true of the output, while fuzzing "just" tries to make it crash. Put another way, fuzzing might be described as testing the property that "the system under test doesn't crash". In practice fuzz testing is a special enough case that it makes sense to break it out into its own thing with its own tools.

Well that’s definitely where you’re going wrong! Subscribing is a strong signal to the algorithm. It’s having to guess otherwise. And at the moment I guess you’re feeding the algorithm with a stream of engagement with all these videos you’re linking to, digging yourself deeper!

Stop engaging with them, and subscribe to content you like instead.

I never get any videos even remotely like this in my feed - I get videos related to things I subscribe to.

You need to give the system some quality input. It isn’t magic. Garbage in garbage out.

You're not the only one. I've been getting annoyed by these, too.

I was encouraged today to discover that youtube has a report history page that lets you know the outcome of your reports. Most of the videos I've reported have been removed, including most of the ones I've reported in the last 12 hours. So at least _something_ is being done about them, even though the current effort is not sufficient against the unending inflow of new scam videos.

Here's the report history page: https://www.youtube.com/reporthistory

From the perspective of the financial institutions writing the paychecks, this feels like a pretty transparent regulatory arbitrage - it turns out it's lucrative to find legal ways to say "invest your money with me and you'll get rich." As Matt Levine put it the other day [0]:

> I … okay … so … some guy on TikTok is like “you’ll be a millionaire if you use Betterment” and Betterment was like “oh thanks, nice of you to say, here’s some money, keep saying that,” and he did, and … Mass Mutual gets in trouble for Keith Gill using Reddit under a pseudonym?

For reference, Keith Gill aka /u/DeepFuckingValue was arguably the main player in turning GameStop into a meme stock, and he was a broker at a subsidiary of Mass Mutual at the time.

Of course, as other commenters have pointed out, influencer is just a new class of celebrity. Arguably these folks are more productive than the likes of Paris Hilton or the Kardashians at the peak of their relevance, but the glorification of marketing is pretty concerning - I might prefer celebrities who are rich and famous for "no reason."

As someone who used to host, I didn't like hosting couples because many a times they were absolutely not interested in having a "CouchSurfing experience", only looking for a free place to sleep. Also, since reviews were the currency for acceptance, it was hard to trust someone who just mentions their partner in passing, without linking to any profile.

Both as a host and a surfer, I've always found solo experiences the best. Never had any hook-ups nor intended to, though I know many people who had.

date-fns does not support time zones, so it's not really comparable.

well you have to give credit to something so well-written and clear. I have read and listened to git knowledge like the rest here, and I have favorites. This exposition shows the actual files on disk, in trees, in a way I had never seen. The opening paragraphs emphasizing that the data structures are stable, while the tools are interoperable, may be written in other languages, and rely on the stable data structures, is also said here in a way I had never seen before.

However, this is not the tutorial I would send anyone towards, as a user of git. The programming design logic is not enough to get better at the workflows. Mercifully, branching patterns in team projects are omitted entirely.

enjoyable and glad to read this for a second or third layer to understanding git

Getting spots in a CPE can be very difficult. Getting spots in a family daycare that's not fully regulated is really not that difficult, unless you live in a really underserved area. Where I live, there are ads for spots in family daycare, and these aren't that uncommon. It's not what's best but it's better than having to quit your job.

It could definitely use an extra 30% of funding, but there is also a severe lack of trained staff for high quality childcare because people just don't want to deal with that.
Libs provide something out of the box to do this, e.g. `ts-essentials` provides `Opaque`, so you just write `type DateString = Opaque<string, 'DateString'>`
> It doesn't feel right for there to be one argument that applies below 100% and another at exactly 100%.

Exactly. The reason to choose one box holds whether the predictor is 90%, 99%, or 100% accurate. I think lowering the accuracy of the predictor makes two boxing look more appealing though.
This has happened to me twice as well, which is why I raised it. I've also seen it happen to people I've promoted and was unable to get up to market rate, who I had extremely honest conversations with as they became disillusioned and ultimately supported as they left for greener pastures, and that's when I realized it's a systemic problem. I'm not being cynical or scheme-ey bringing this up at all, it's just the (bigco, mostly) reality, and directors need to be aware of it.
