Another thought is that it might actually get easier as you get older.

I worked at a large org in my early twenties. It sucked. Now I work for a large tech company (FAANG) in my thirties. It is not nearly so bad.

The org might just be a better fit, but also I think people just listen to me more now that I'm older. I'm not just some kid who doesn't know anything. I can talk to people and get things done without fighting uphill so much.

Also, I'm more realistic. In my twenties I just wanted things to be simple and logical. Now I've accepted people aren't simple and that's just how things are, so I'm more tolerant of dealing with politics.

The incentive is to kill/not-kill the animals, not necessarily protect the habitat.

The only fix I can see is making it a worthwhile rational decision: incentives for reporting endangered animals that are worth more than the value in developing the property. But that has it's own pitfalls and potentials for abuse.

Fripp has certainly been known to walk off shows, to the consternation of his bandmates, but I don't know how frequent it truly is. I was at a show in SF in 2000 where everyone just assumed that he'd walked off (he'd issued a stern warning about photography and people kept snapping pics), but I learned later that the show ending with the band walking off followed by Adrian doing the encore solo (in this case Three of a Perfect Pair, on acoustic-electric guitar, which was much more amazing than it sounds) was normal.

(setlists that are available online [0] for those shows are longer than I remember, which is interesting... my memory or someone else's is faulty... I remember Three of a Perfect Pair being the end)

> Lets Encrypt was released to the public in 2014 and by like... 2019 basically all of the internet was HTTPS.

This is apples and oranges: absolutely zero software upgrades needed to be done to get HTTPS going and/or Let's Encrypt running.

I was able to get LE going on our F5 appliances in a few working days with zero changes to the base system/appliance software by simply installing the dehydrated ACME client and all of a sudden dozens of sites where we previously didn't want to pay for a cert were "secure".

Network hardware can stay in place for quite a while. Our previous generation of core switches lasted us 7 years before we swapped them out.

I wouldn't be surprised some of the mega-chassis routers in ISPs and other telcos sit around as long.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed the similarities between OO in the Alan Kay sense and Erlang. An extension of that would be the microservice architecture of today. You have encaspulation, late binding, and message passing.

In a civilized society it is the governments burden and obligation to ensure scarce resources are shared responsibly. When this process is disrupted and not quickly remedied you will inevitably discover that people take matters into their hands to get what they need. They might commit white collar crimes or engage in destructive or violent robberies and protests. They might also roll out the guillotines and collect some scalps to remind society at large that the most dangerous people are those who’ve had everything robbed of them. When entire regions and communities are allowed to reach this point war is almost inevitable.

Is this somehow different in the rural US? I'm in Canada and while part of a large metro area I am far enough out to have a septic tank. I never so much as spent a second of thought on it. We just get the tank cleaned out every two years. The city even has a by law requiring that and you have to send in the invoice to prove you had it done.
Does it matter, though? A loss is a loss. It doesn't matter if they lost because their warriors were weak, or if their leaders were poor strategists. They still lost, and a big part of the mythos around Sparta (at least to me) is that they were a city of strong warriors who won most of their battles.

The point is that burritos are not monads.

Metaphors are things you see in literature. A key feature that makes them attractive in literature is that they are subjective and can be read in multiple ways. That is the very thing that makes them a poor device to use in technical writing.

We do use analogies a fair amount in technical writing, but even those need a careful author to make sure they are made clearly.

The core idea of an abstraction is that it is a generalization of something you want to do a lot of. It makes a lot of sense to go over a bunch of examples and explain how they are all the same thing.
So what do you call electrical engineers who design consumer level non mains voltage hardware? Looks like they fail the second bullet point. Sort of an honest question, since most of what you’d likely learn in an EE degree would probably not fall under number 2 either.
The purpose of the explanation is to point out the flaw in your argument that if hiring was purely quantitative and objective then it would be a solved problem. To quote you:

"If it were quantifiable and one could reliably screen based on "objective" criteria, it would have been a solved problem by now"

Given that was the premise of your entire argument, once that flaw is exposed the rest of your argument falls apart.

Ask HN: Can the experience of university be captured remotely?
I’m a bit unsure how to phrase this. I like the idea of university in that there are intelligent, knowledgeable people around from whom there is much to learn. Learning all the subject matter of a university course doesn’t really replace the environment of a university.

As someone with no interest in large university debt in an expensive city, in what ways might the experience be digitally replicated?

Think like an engineer. First job of a policy designer in a democracy is perception shaping. For example, in a poll from Dec 2020, perception of covid hospitalization rates in <24 age group was about 8%, vs. reality 0.1%. For general population, hospitalization rates were estimated over 50% by a third of the population, with another quarter estimating 20-49%. Reality: 1-5%.

As of and example of practical techniques, I saved once an APNews article:

> Virus surge breaks hospital records amid rising toll on kids

The implication that our brain makes is that kids are getting into hospital in record numbers because of covid. The actual story has loosely related 3 parts:

1. That adult hospitals are getting filled, in a couple of states.

2. That the share of covid cases in kids out of covid cases in all age groups is growing in a couple different states.

3. An anecdote that somebody had some covid patients as young as 16 in some hospital (selection bias alert).

If you are a parent and only skimmed the article, you saw 'hospitals ... 17% ... children and teens ... DELTA'. Your heart is racing. You are thinking that a double digit percent of kids end up in the hospital with a covid case. You end up overestimating the impact of covid in kids by a factor of 100. Masks? YES Vaccines? YES Lockdowns? YES Vaccine passports? YES YES YES PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.

Except this is not really what market makers do. The amount of liquidity they can provide by buying high and selling low is quite limited, not to mention it locks up a lot of capital in market price speculation with the significant risk of 'getting it wrong'.

Without going into motivation behind why ($$$), they will sell any share in demand at the prevailing market rate. As long as they later buy the same number of shares that they sold into the market, everything continues to work. By internalizing and batching orders, they can also exhert force on the price to ensure they don't lose on these 'market making shorts'.

For your example to be equiavlent, scalpers would need to sell parts that they don't have, which falls apart as an analogy as such games would fall apart quite quickly during a supply crunch.

>It has no legal nor practical sense, so why bother?

You might be surprised to know that it actually does matter, and it matters in a way that depresses American software engineer salaries: work visas.

The fact that the US government considers "software engineering" to be equal to "civil engineering" means that the TN visa (since we're talking about Canada) applies to people qualified to be employed as software engineers in the US.

As such, this visa allows tens of thousands of equally-qualified software engineers from Canada to compete for a good proportion of the same jobs thereby depressing American wages; why wouldn't an American software engineer (or a Canadian P.Eng who wants to make a business but can't afford the better engineers) be opposed to the weak American definition being the only one that really matters?

Nonsense, a complete engine in an internal-combustion vehicle - which is vastly more complicated than a battery in an electric vehicle, and which often requires removing various structural members in the front of the vehicle - can be swapped in under two days. A battery should be a few electrical and coolant connectors and maybe a dozen bolts, rolling out from under the vehicle with little else to fuss with. Engineering it such that you have to replace and bleed the brake lines or remove suspension components is basically the same as designing for non-replacement, as if you were gluing in a battery.
This is a truly brilliant idea!
You word it like you specifically want bigger batteries to take longer. Why is that?

All else equal I'd expect a laptop battery to be easier than a phone battery, and it's definitely possible to design a car battery to swap in minutes even with shielding.

Very shallow analysis. Article is driving at something but just won't say it. There is a parallel being drawn, but it's not drawn completely, because...? I feel this the norm with articles in today's fragmented information landscape. People try to drive an agenda, write something shallow so it's out there and the headline is then digested subconsciously.

This seems to be an attack on rationality, and also the Enlightenment, which you'd think should not be controversial in today's world dominated by science. I know Marcuse doesn't have very rational writings. He is constantly twisting words and definitions and basically makes up B.S. with very corrupted logic. I'm not as familiar with Roderick, but from looking at that video, it seems he is doing something similar. "Rationality" takes on a different meaning for him, and he calls things like wanting to go home at the end of your workday, as something rational, but that's a completely arbitrary use of that word. He then builds up elaborate arguments attacking this "rationality" and concludes the Enlightenment must be bad. What's really happening is that Roderick's argument is itself not rational.

> " One example of Roderick’s, which has many parallels today, is Germany and the rise of National Socialism. Nowhere would instrumental reason more clearly show the logical endpoints of its great powers: powers to create a vast industrial war machine and the powers to build a hyper-rationalised culture of death and destruction to accompany it. "

The real rationale here, is to conclude America at the time is even more hyper-rationalized, with an even greater culture of death and destruction... because we created the nuke and dropped it on Japan! We also built way more tanks and weapons to defeat the Nat. Socs., so it follows the U.S. has more to be blamed for than Germany! I don't think that is the conclusion Roderick is going for, or even the author of the article.

I'm sure Marcuse and Roderick weren't saying that because of the hyper-rationalizing of the Enlightenment, Germany was bad, but the U.S. was even worse.
What was the difference? Well, both of them don't even go that far, because their reasoning is not really rational to begin with. They're not attempting at revealing the truth, and instead are using a different epistemology (which definitely Marcuse was doing), to arrive at whatever conclusion they desire.
>I have not ground to stand on to challenge that consensus.

Good thing Copernicus didn't follow this line of thinking. Anytime someone comes up against group think, there is always the resistance against it. It's only natural. Being willing to listen to the unpopular opinion to at least evaluate it before dismissing it out of hand is what separates science. It is the responsibility of the "dissident" to persuade and show evidence. People should not switch beliefs willy-nilly.

I have an early nineties car like the parent describes; processor controlled fuel injection/valve timing/other core engine routines, and that's pretty much it with the exception of windshield wiper control and the radio.

> Two quite similar equations may have radically different outputs for the same inputs, so that screws up the whole pattern recognition approach, doesn't it?

No, it doesn't, and that's because you have an inadequate understanding of what "pattern matching" is. The domain over which patterns are matched --- in both the brain and artificial neural networks --- isn't just the input, but a combination of the input and the previous state of the computation doing the matching. It's this recurrence, this recursive evaluation of previous state, that makes human minds Turing complete. "Pattern matching" is more powerful than you think when you combine it with attention and memory, and ML models have had both for years. Do you think ML models are dumb regex lists or something? ML models and the brain have state.
