It sounds like what you're describing is the end goal in the "hierarchy of competence", where "unconscious competence" is the last step. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence

That is the ideal goal, but I don't think the two ideas are exclusive. Take the case of learning a new skill like Chess. At the start you employed some sort of system to learn; that system is your own personal 'mental model' that you've constructed (whether consciously or not) to learn this new thing.

How long does it take you to reach unconscious mastery in chess? Once you reach that level of mastery, looking back would you say there was a different system you could have employed to reach that goal faster? What if you shared this new system with a beginner and told them "use this model to learn, not the one that seems intuitive to you now".

I think that's all a mental model is: recognising that other people who are better at the thing you're trying to do, have come up with a way to learn it faster than you're capable of intuiting as a beginner. I think it would be quite hubristic to assume you couldn't save any time by employing these ideas, or that your initial ideas are so close to the best approach that learning about another model is a waste of time.

While I agree, not sure if a psychological effect or not but given two students in the same classes:

- Alice, took 3 classes and had 3 As.
- Bob, also had 3 As in those 3 classes _plus_ he got a C in an extra class.

A lot of people would choose Alice as the better student ("all As") even if Bob "objectively" did more.
"In the early days DSE was like Jaycar."
Not that surprising. The origin story of Jaycar is that when DSE was being sold to Woolworths DS took aside an exec at DSE and said that Woolworths were going to run DSE into the ground. He advised the exec to start up his own rival chain, which he did, and thus Jaycar.
Still, whilst Jaycar appears to be quite successful, DS wasn't entirely right, it took 34 years for the brand to die.

I assume that Dr Jonathan Birch, Associate Professor at LSE’s Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science, and his team of scientists didn’t encounter this insightful perspective when they reviewed “over 300 scientific studies” in order to arrive at their conclusions…

In seriousness though, this comment is a prime example of speciesism. Even if it were true that these crustaceans were “basically bugs” how does it follow that no regard should be given to their suffering? Does being a “bug” justify being boiled alive?

They are only being “grouped together” in that they are being granted the most basic consideration: that they have “the capacity to experience pain, distress or harm”.

The fact this is somehow just dawning on modern society is a sad indictment of our blinkered and callous disregard for other species. A child could tell you that other living creatures experience pain and distress through simple observation or even based upon, dare I say, the innate understanding we all have about our fellow animals.
Here's another viewpoint: why is 10$ so valuable and life-ending for you?

I would argue that the fact that one would be so scared of losing money would be that they fear losing their shelter, food, water etc., no?

Would it therefore not be more condemnable that a society is pitting people against each other in such a way that money is survival? Isn't this Squidgame's whole point?
You can have an ALIAS on the naked domain.
For me it is not so much the price as the product range.

I prefer Best Buy to Amazon when I can. I use my Best Buy credit card preferentially to my Amazon card. Best Buy's prices for movies are often better than Amazon's prices. However, Amazon Marketplace has more obscure movies. For instance I am into Chinese movies and TV shows like Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber and Wolf Warrior 2 and Best Buy just doesn't have these. Sometimes Amazon does, but I end up going to bootleggers from Singapore and other strange places to get my fix.

Sometimes I feel like Best Buy wants to fit me in a little box. I wanted an NFC reader for my PC. Best Buy chooses not to carry such things. I am looking for a VR headset to support software development, Best Buy chooses only to carry Facebook products. (Nope, I deleted my Facebook account and I'm not making a new one for that.)

Most interestingly, Amazon Marketplace lets you evade shortages by paying a higher price right now. For instance, Epson EcoTank Pro and EcoTank Photo printers are sold out at Dell, B&H photo, Adorama and such. You can pay a premium and get one today on Amazon.

Is this an explicit dark pattern, or just simplistic interpretation or misinterpretation of the allowed use of cookies? If you have a mandate to not allow any cookies or state to be kept client side, how will the site know to show or not the cookie approval notification? Twitter and Amazon should know better though. I've never seen persistent cookie notifications after logging in, which makes sense since the state of the cookie notification can be stored in the session data for having logged in.

> When is the price of a good at Amazon so competitive that it's worth spending the money at, arguably, a pretty rotten company.

I don’t think they’re any more rotten than most other big companies.

I use Amazon to buy books on my Kindle and sometimes paperbacks or hardcover, depending on whatever has a lower price.

For me, the main thing is convenience and service. In about 14 years, I had exactly one order not arrive in their order window and another order ($600 graphics card) that was marked delivered but probably stolen (I never got it).

Amazon gave me a credit one time and for the missing graphics card, they shipped me another one. No police report or anything like that required.

A few months ago, I went to the mall to buy a pair of shoes. 25 min there, 25 min back… sitting in traffic. Not only did they not really have what I wanted, but the two people working in the store clearly didn’t want to be there. It was an epic waste of time.

> To put other ways: How much above Amazon are you willing to pay to shop at a local or independent seller?

$0. Actually, I’ll usually go with the cheapest price, if let’s say it’s a pair of shoes I can buy cheaper from Nike. Sometimes the seller has a cheaper price but incredibly slow shipping, in which case usually I go with Amazon.

For electronics, it comes down to Best Buy or Amazon for me. If I need something quickly, there’s a Best Buy a few miles away from me, and they always price match Amazon.

The line for sentience is a very low bar to hurdle. Trees may demonstrate sentience [0].

The larger problem is that people are generally thinking of sapience, but sapience tends to be defined in axiomatic terms, so we don't have a clear understanding of what it requires or means.

Except most workers aren't remote workers, and as stated in my original comment that you chose to ignore, there is no mandate that anyone be fired for being unvaccinated.

So being unvaccinated is risky to others around you while having a high BMI is not, and you suggested firing employees with a high BMI, while the mandate only calls for testing unvaccinated employees.

So again, the analogy falls apart two different ways.

If you're not vaccinated by now, you're pretty much immune to 'stigma', I should think. Time to get over it folks; the unvaccinated are among us and they will be for the rest of time. Continuing with this stigmatization will upset yourselves far more than will upset them. In my country at least, it's obvious there will be no law requiring injection, so continued complaints are really just yelling into the wind (unlike something like drunk driving for example).

That's not true. The domain name system doesn't really know about different levels of domains, so such a rule doesn't even make that much sense.

What you are not allowed to have is a CNAME record in addition to anything else. So if you want a TXT or SRV or MX record, you can't also have the CNAME. Makes sense as the latter basically means "look here instead".
There's always an existential threat. That argument is for people who won't have anyone to care for them when they get old, won't have as much joy or love in their lives, and their genes will die with them. An absolutely pointless life, in my unpopular opinion, but only my opinion nonetheless.

It's weird how use of the word "speciesism" implies that some place humans above other animals as a result of some kind of fallacy or irrational thinking, and not because we are humans and therefore more valuable to each other.

Strictly speaking, Rust doesn't need this as a built-in language feature, because its design allows it to be implemented as a third-party library: https://docs.rs/bumpalo

The biggest problem is that there's some awkwardness around RAII; I'm not sure whether that could have been avoided with a different approach.

Of course, ideally you'd want it to be compatible with the standard-library APIs that allocate. This is implemented, but is not yet at the point where they're sure they won't want to make backwards-incompatible changes to it, so you can only use it on nightly. https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/alloc/trait.Allocator.h...

Or are you suggesting that the choice of allocator should be dynamically scoped, so that allocations that occur while the bump allocator is alive automatically use it even if they're in code that doesn't know about it? I think it's not possible for that to be memory-safe; all allocations using the bump allocator need to know about its lifetime, so that they can be sure not to outlive it, which would cause use-after-free bugs. I'm assuming that Odin just makes the programmer responsible for this, and if they get it wrong then memory corruption might occur; for a memory-safe language like Rust, that's not acceptable.
Here's the one we had offices in [1]. The same builder built a couple more in the same town at around the same time (late '80s) [2].

C++ templates used to be structural types. Since C++20, C++ supports meta-type constraints on templates.

Of course, backward compatibility means those are optional, but the designer of the template decides. Existing libraries are all structural, but new ones will rely more on nominal meta-typing, and error messages for those are clean.

There will be pressure to retrofit older libraries, so that error messages from misuses of those get nicer too. Gripes from users who had successfully abused those libraries will be heard.
