For this to be biological and not cultural we would need to see evidence that this happens before baby/infant primates are old enough to observe their parents performing similar behaviors, or when raised in isolation. The only citation here that matches that is the first one, and even then the experimenter was a part of the experiment and not blinded to infant sex, so there is a major possible source of bias there, and more recent papers appear to contradict this effect [1]. Rather than cite one-off studies from the 2000s this is a situation where a meta-analysis or review would be ideal, but I don't see one in a quick search. If you are aware of one that would be helpful to better understand this claim.

I'm sure Zuckerberg sees becoming AOL of the next big thing as the best direction to take his company, but it just all seems so overly complex. No communication standards can lower garden walls, because the walls and complexity are the point, when you sell ads for communication platforms

But then, restaurants and other businesses relying on Facebook exclusively to have an online presence (often inaccessible to those with no account) seems like a bad idea to me, but it happens.
I recall the big transition from 2400 to 9600, and as a teenager I couldn’t afford any of the modems. But then IIRC CompuCom came along with a much more affordable 9600 modem, with the catch that it could only talk to other CompuComs, which my local BBS offered special numbers for. I can tell you going from 2400 to 9600 was massively beneficial, much like my first “broadband” experience. Every bump since then has been marginal improvement, really.
DSP on the cpu would definitely suffice today (albeit undersirable). But it would still need some analog hardware to interface the phone line.

The whole arson story is not really believable to me.

I was once interrogated by NIS for 3 days and in the end I almost signed a false statement to get it over with.

NCIS is not a believable policing agency. They use very questionable methods for getting confessions.

In my case they provided a false statement from my roommate and then when I asked for representation they escorted me to a Flag Officer who told me I should tell them everything I know.

Turns out the flag officer was a prosecuting not defense lawyer. One agent was kind enough to mention that.
With that information I ran out of NIS headquarters never to hear from them again.

They are not to be trusted.

Now I work in a shipyard and my simple question is:
How did MARMAC allow a ship to not have fire stands in a shipyard.

Utter failure on thier part.
They are the US Navy contract representatives.
> There the authenticity of the physical item is quite a part of the value proposition.

It's exactly the same for NFTs. Dorsey's NFT sold for $2.9 precisely because it was 'issued' by him, and there's the implicit promise that he won't sell another NFT associated with that same tweet. If you or I tried to sell NFTs to that tweet, nothing would happen to the tweet, but we wouldn't find willing buyers.

First, if you are doing heavy work, like fixing roads, you usually can't do it all day. Neither can most draft animals. Second, the mid day meal was the big one, and there was usually a nap as well. People had to walk to work, and it would be hard to get everyone back at the same time.

Third, the Lord's inventory of tools was limited, so better to have two shifts of reasonably rested people than one double shift of exhausted people.
> The vast majority of resources are abundant only provisionally when they are well-managed.

That's not abundance at all, its just scarcity.

> In fact, I can't think of any resources so abundant that they need no management.

Yes, scarcity is universal, which is why the idea of “post-scarcity” or resources that need managed in a categorically different way because they don't experience scarcity are nonsense.

> But then, economics is a "science"[1] of scarcity, not abundance, and somehow economics is the main science used to solve how the society should be arranged.

I have an economics degree. I'm not claiming to be an economist here at all, but I'm mentioning it because it's relevant to what I'm about to say here: What I learned throughout my undergraduate education is that economics is a social science built upon the _presumption_ of scarcity.

Classical economics doesn't apply if you break that invariant. We need something else if we achieve post-scarcity, and I'm not sure that it'd be another existing mainstream economic school of thought.

Note that I'm not disagreeing with you - your point is valid. I'm agreeing on the "create artificial scarcity" response that you're observing. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, whatever other unfalsifiable assumptions you're pointing at in economics shouldn't matter because the broken scarcity invariant breaks the rest of it. Trying to use an economic argument in a post-scarcity scenario is, to me, applying the wrong tool for the job in order to preserve a specific interest. That's my opinion, anyway, and I'm sure someone else who has more experience or education in the field beyond my 4 year degree 20 years ago could tell me I'm wrong.
> This isn't even a solution to wealth inequality so I think your question isn't relevant. Wealth inequality is a complex problem and you can't fix it by just taxing people more.

Why not? Redistributive wealth tax seems like a reasonable way to accomplish this, along with raising marginal tax rates, closing tax loopholes, and a 100% inheritance tax. Use the excess money for direct investment in material infrastructure, social benefits, and (most importantly) education, and I would imagine the wealth distribution would look quite different in 20 years.

We design the economic system we live in. We can change it any time. Capitalism is a human invention: we create the rules to the game. This isn't some law of physics or some truth of the universe.

>That and other elements of rational choice theory are not unfalsifiable.

>Of course, some of economics (e.g., the Austrian school) is overtly driven by a normative ideological agenda rather than pursuing descriptive, empirical science.

This is actually one reason the Austrian school criticises the neoclassical school. The neoclassical school is just as much founded on ideological assumptions as the Austrian school (main difference is cardinal vs ordinal utility), as it's impossible to have a "theory of value" without some underlying philosophical notion of value. However the neoclassical school hides this value system under so many layers of maths in an attempt to convince people it's a real, objective science like physics or chemistry.

There is a form of economics that makes testable predictions with a reasonably high degree of accuracy, and isn't based on any underlying ideology: it's called "quantitative finance".
> What does Async (Fibers underneath) do differently than normal Threads?

There's a lot to say on this topic.

- Threads implement "preemptive scheduling". A scheduler switches control from one thread to another every 10ms or so. A thread running the code may be ready for the switch or not. The ensuing race conditions are nasty.

- Async + Fibers implement "cooperative scheduling". The currently running fiber (voluntarily) yields control to another fiber when it's ready. The result is there are no race conditions.

There's so much to say about this, I'll blog about this in the future.
> Thus, they didn't go after TikTok. It was a mistake.

What are you talking about - they went after TikTok exactly the same way as they did after Snapchat: By cloning the feature and making it prominent in the app, then double-listing them in the main Big Blue App, too.

Instagram added Stories to copy Snapchat and they are still prominently at the top of the app.

Then they added Reels to copy Tik Tok and it's the primary central bottom button of the app, and also one of the first things you see in the Facebook app.

The hilarity though is that Tiktok watermarks exported videos. Vast majority of "Reels" on Instagram have Tik Tok watermarks.

They're failing to destroy Tik Tok the way they succeeded in destroying Snapchat (effectively) for a couple of reasons though:

1) Snapchat was primarily for person-to-person communication (their attempts at highlighting "creators" was always awkward. Instagram already had all the celebrities, and what grows success in "social networks" these days isn't the social graph between peers but parasocial graphs with big time creators

2) Snapchat was always technologically inferior. The quality of the photos and videos was awful. The AR filters were slow. Instagram offered higher quality and better performance. TikTok doesn't have that problem. It's blazing fast and for the kind of meme content it is best for, video quality isn't important.

3) TikTok's For You Page (FYP) recommendation algorithm is truly groundbreaking, and will be remembered in 10 years the way we remember panning around on Google Maps and not having the page reload. It is truly incredible how effectively it learns content you might be interested in after some engagement, and crafts an FYP that feels like it's speaking directly to your anxieties, sense of humor, neurosis, aspirations, goals, etc.

You can call it creepy and you can worry about how all this information about your personality is going to the Chinese government, but that's a separate issue...
I'll have to look at it again at some point. I last did over 10yr ago.

The next problem would of course be to locate the actual firmware to burn.
It can't only be that, or 127.1 would not work. It is doing some parsing beyond just calling a parseInt on each of them in order to recognize domain names and use name resolution rather than directly putting the bytes in the IP header. That must be why 0x9000000.-16250872 doesn't work (if negative worked, that should also resolve to 8.8.8.8).
I agree that many people today tend to over-estimate the 'simple' and 'idyllic' aspects of the average pre-industrial person's day to day existence and we should be careful to remember the stark differences as well as to discount the influence of fiction and history's focus on the extraordinary, influential, wealthy and powerful.

I've always thought it would be an interesting reality TV show concept to create a historically accurate medieval village populated with well-researched, role-playing actors and then to drop a small group of modern people into that context to see how they do. I suspect the reactions of those who over-estimated the idyllic-ness of the past would make for compelling reality TV fodder.
> NCIS is not a believable policing agency. They use very questionable methods for getting confessions.

That makes them a very believable policing agency, since that's basically an universal trait of such agencies.
Apparently I’m not learned enough to know to avoid debating random doofuses on the internet. I’ll give you that.
I wonder to what extent the author's positioning as a "technology optimist" requires them to try to frame a positive take on the metaverse. I'm not questioning whether they believe their own essay or not, I'm just wondering if there is a formulation of the metaverse which they would not have found reason to be hopeful about, even when most people seem to be at least skeptical.

On the other hand, I'm more of a technology fatalist, and I have to constantly correct my impulse to think of developments like this as by definition another turn of the screw, since that's not always the case.
The "excuse parade" mentioned by the grandparent poster is another name for what psychology calls "rationalisation".

Microsoft fucked up about performance, period. The reason for that is not because the Terminal provided too many features, or because they wanted the code to be "readable". The manager didn't even claim the team didn't have time to do it, he flat out said it would be impossible without taking a few years to research.

Time and time again we see this kinda thing happening in software and people jump into made-up rationalisations because they're in denial about the root cause of issues.
Today after work is over I still have things to clean, fix, prepare, butcher, etc. today too. Instead of repairing a thatch roof I'm working on shingles, but the amount of labor needed around the home and in domestic life even today is seemingly endless and somehow fills to expand all available free time like a gas in a container.
That's a good point. lmao what a weird hauntology. the past generation bought the toy for their children because of its resemblance to everyday items in their lives, and the next generation buys a facsimile for their children for its resemblance to the toy from their childhood. i wonder how many iterations will the chain continue
The problem is that the more we automate, the supply exceeds demand in the labor market. That in turn allows employers to easily suck up the excess potential workers at low wages, and also makes further automation or even repairing the machines we got uneconomical.

Stagnant weak demands screws over big things like nuclear power plants and subways.

We need things like a UBI and further shrinking of the workweek (perhaps as an "automatic stabilizer" based on pop vs total working hours vs popuation!) in order to not stagnate technology and get back our free time.
The core problem here is that our technology for discourse is basically twitter and "voting with likes". The algorithms are optimized for attention and likes, so the mob wins - not the best argument.

IF we fixed THAT problem (with new technology, an early one is https://www.kialo.com/tour, but it's not good enough), we can have what you want.

Right now, we're effectively the same tech level as the 1900s (perhaps in a more dangerous way) w.r.t finding truth or the "right" arguments

If you watch Zuckerberg's AR Glasses demo posted today (fantasy demo) where he's fencing an Olympic fencing champ you will see above her head the score of the game.

Once I saw his first demo of Facebook Stories glasses where he was playing ping pong (in late August/early Sept) I immediately thought the glasses should be keeping/showing the score and posted that thought. They probably were working on that before, but maybe not and overall and right now its all just fantasy. Possibly for patents and to show investors that Apple's blocking Ad Trackers is hurting us but we have a way forward.

Also he is showing off a lot of AR Glasses tech not VR cause he believes VR (strapping headset to your face) isn't the next big thing rather AR/Smart Glasses are. But all he is showing is YEARS away.
this reminds me of a part of Sapiens where they discuss how agriculture actually ended up taking up more time then foraging for early settlers. They also mentioned how their nutrition and teeth suffered initially as well.
I believe that you are right, and we are very lucky for these historical circumstances, when both IBM and DEC have preferred to support the Intel floating-point number format, rather than accept the format of their major competitor.

The Intel format, which is due to William Kahan, but also to Jerome Coonen and John Palmer and a few others with lesser contributions, was a huge improvement over the IBM and DEC floating-point formats.

I have written my first programs when I was in high-school, for some IBM mainframes and DEC PDP-11 computers. Then I have used the Microsoft compilers for several languages, for Z80 / Intel 8080, which used FP formats similar to those of DEC.

The IBM and DEC formats were really ugly and writing programs for them included many pitfalls. When I began to use an IBM PC, with its much more foolproof FP format, all problems disappeared.

In general all processors introduced by Intel since their beginning and until the nineties (when their competition withered) lacked any innovative features. Every improvements in the early Intel CPUs had already been introduced earlier in CPUs from competitors.

To this lack of innovation in CPU architecture, there is a very important exception, the IEEE 754 standard, which was based on the Intel format with very minor modifications.

The Intel FP number format was one of the most important events in the history of floating-point numbers, the only other events with similar importance were when IBM made the first computers with hardware FP units (IBM 704 and NORC, in 1954) and when IBM introduced fused multiply-add (IBM POWER, in 1990).

This works if the student already has a grasp of how to write software. The new teacher here does your method with new students just learning the syntax, and it's a failure. Treat them like they're learning french. First comes meaning of words, then how they're applied. Examples of it, what it means, and then how you change what it means to mean something else. Practice and Exposure is the only way to effectively learn any language. These students are going to entirely forget what a for loop is after their class and switch majors when the next classes depend upon fluent understanding.
I’ve spent a bit of time in the rural areas of a developing country when I was younger visiting extended family. These were farmers that were fairly poor. In the summer months, lots of work, from dawn until dusk. But after the harvest until the next planting season there was no “work” to do. It was not fun.

People visited the same people (small village) and talked about the same things day after day. Days consisted of talking, doing chores around the house, eating and sleeping.
This is great! I was working on something similar but admittedly didn’t get around to launching it, it wasn’t as nice as this. How do you plan to monetize?

> Once you understand how it works, it’s extreamly challenging to imagine not understanding it. This can be problematic when teaching because it creates a gap between teacher and student. Even the most empathetic teachers can’t quite imagine themselves in a student’s shoes.

This reminded me of my old engineering tutorials. Where I went to uni you have these 2/3-on-1 sessions with a tutor to go through a weekly sheet of questions across subjects.

After a short time, we came to the conclusion that the more decorated the tutor, the less good they were at teaching. I had people spanning from just-started PhD students to professors who were members of various academies. The more letters they had after their names, the harder it got to pick up anything from them.

The professors had a couple of things going against them. First, they were no longer warm hands. Too long since they themselves had to analyze transistor circuits. They might know something about how the state of the art is done on an industry grade computer, but no way they could go back to hand drawings of toy systems. They also probably wouldn't know quite how to operate that state-of-the-art system themselves, but trust a postdoc to do it. Second, they were busy. Really really busy, mostly with the business of running a lab. A lot of not-analyzing undergrad level transistor circuits. A lot of grant proposals.

So when you got one of these highly decorated people slumming it with the undergrads, they just wouldn't know what it is you didn't understand. The best were people who'd just done the course not long before you, and understood what to say to trigger you to think the right way. They'd been down the same dead ends, the same oddly worded questions.

This is why I'm no longer so interested in my kids having a lot of professor time. You often hear people complaining their expensive degrees are taught by TAs, but in the end the professor guy would not do much better for the kid.
