Of course, but the fact that people apply a binary threshold tells you that they want to be able to rule out some things from their models entirely, and include other things as something that's as good as a true fact.
Oh that it was my expectation. A human would probably need to validate this. They might not be able to validate ALL submissions, but prioritize the ones most people report and it will still improve the results A LOT.
The author makes the point that education is a secondary or at least not the only major function of school, and that a big part of it is providing a warm, safe environment for kids to spend their days (I'd also add it's a place to learn to socialize, and also to be a part of the system (for better or worse))

The actual subject matter learning is pretty unimportant, and zoom in no way replaces the experience.

I believe that this idea also holds for in-person vs remote work in most cases. People's jobs have some component that is "the work they do", but then a whole bunch of other social and collaborative components that come from spending the day together

It's easy to pretend you can throw all that away and people can just do the work they are responsible for at home, and surprisingly, most people only take a few hours a day to get their work done. But that's because that "work" was not really their job full job, it was also coming in to a workplace and being part of a group.
They should do this for competitive programming tasks.

Dalio's broad strokes thesis that US will decline and China will take over is right iff there is sufficient trust in the PRC's monetary, judicial, and fiscal infrastructures. USD took over from the pound sterling not just because the UK was exhausted post-WW2, but more that major global market participants trusted US institutions from US soft power projection, and were comfortable transacting in USD under Bretton Woods.

For Dalio's thesis to bear out, he needs the PRC to convince major global market participants and other nations that a PRC-chartered, RMB-led Bretton Woods 2 (or equivalent, because history rhymes) makes more sense to follow than the current status quo. The challenge is the PRC has a significant soft power projection PR image issue on its hands at the moment with a lot of perceived bellicosity by not just its regional neighbors, but increasingly around the world.

The US during its post-war ascent was significantly involved in many domestic political knife fights in other nations, outright regime changes, or military engagement that are interpreted as bellicose by some standards: Greece, Italy, Albania, Syria, Burma, Egypt, Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Congo-Leopoldville, Laos, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Iraq, Cambodia, Chile, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Angola, East Timor, Argentina, Afghanistan, Poland, Chad, Nicaragua, Grenada, Panama, Haiti, Zaire, Yugoslavia, Palestine-Israel, Libya, Venezuela.

What is curious to me is the USSR was similarly involved, but everyone decided to trust the USD and not the RUB. I have my theories about why that happened, but to the current topic, for various reasons the PRC is not quite so extensively involved in other nations' affairs, yet their soft power image is not sufficiently strong enough to mount a credible replacement to the USD.

I think part of the discrepancy between currencies and nation state dominance is acknowledgement by market participants that China's debt-to-GDP ratio is more than twice as much as the US ratio. As an investor, I also have deep reservations over the long-term with how China organizes its public financing from land sales (I think they're vastly underpricing the sales).

Dalio makes a compelling case, but hand waves away the above issues with "China will grow out of these temporary nitpicks". I suspect Jiping's administration played China's hand too soon; if China had stuck to its mercantilist knitting for another 2-3 decades, I believe it would have made a compelling and persuasive nation state for others to follow at the end of that period with no bellicosity involved. As it stands, I suspect the hand was played too soon because their runways of demographics, energy-debt, and food production are colliding in undesirable ways they're trying to fix by externalizing the costs.

> Are We in a Bubble?

Yes, absolutely.

> is the economy is broken?

Depends on who you ask. According to our leaders like Jerome Powell and leading economist Paul Krugman, no, its being perfectly controlled through a crisis. According to me, yes, the economic system is blatantly corrupted by power, which personally I think means is broken. Blatant and extremely obvious if you're willing to do a lot of reading.

> should we be expecting a crash/crisis soon?

No, absolutely not.

For what its worth I'm all-in betting that its not. The leaders have their steering wheel on the economy and god forbid they wont allow it to crash, its the worst thing that could happen. Make your plays against what they do.

It is terrible that this garbage has taken over the "open source" community - "just pipe this web page into your all-powerful command shell. Don't worry it's 'secure' because it uses HTTPS.". Even in the best case, it splays unreproducible junk all throughout your filesystem. Of course that doesn't matter because your Linux machine is a temporary "cattle" that you're just renting and accessing from your shiny iChromebook amirite?

Not having looked at it in a while, it is highly disappointing that Rust specifically has gone down this path on their main fucking page. "Old man yells at cloud", and all that.

IMO I think the future is distributed reproducible builds through Guix/Nix. I've never run Gentoo, but Guix/Nix feel like the best manifestation of software freedom that I've experienced. Mind expanding in the same way as functional programming or Lisp.

And of course none of that addresses the whole issue of source auditing and provenance. Immutable logs like git get us 90% of a foundation, but obviously there is a lot of unexplored territory required to provide actual security guarantees.

I mean it's common in air brakes used in commercial trucks as well. If air pressure is lost the brakes close: That's the failure condition.

Agreed with the sibling that this is an odd take.

As I often point out, though; I don't think we have any real insights as to what makes something that will be adopted by the masses. Outside of throwing effort at it.

Too many of us in the technical space get caught on the idea of throwing that effort at the solution and the problem. You can also throw effort at the actual adoption by the masses. That is, market outreach and general sales.

Correct, quantile regression is an option. Another is "pure" bootstrapping (you can see by googling something like uncertainty + machine learning + bootstrapping that this is a very active area of current research).

The major problem with bootstrapping is the computational time for big models, since many models need to be fit to obtain a representative distribution of predictions.

Now, if you want more "rigorous" quantification of uncertainty, one option is to go Bayesian using probabilistic programming (PyMC, Stan, TMB), but computational time for large models can be prohibitive. Another option is to "scale down" the complexity to models that might be (on average) a bit less accurate, but provide rigorous uncertainty intervals and good interpretability of results, for example Generalized Additive Models.

A note here is that I saw certain quantification of uncertainty by people who were considered very capable in the ML community that gave me goosebumps, for example since the lower bound of the interval was a negative number and the response variable modeled could not be negative, the uncertainty interval was "cut" at zero (one easy way to deal with it, although it depends on the variable modeled and the model itself, is log-transforming the response—but pay attention to intervals when exp(log(y)) to get back to the natural scale. Another useful interview question.)

I mean, emacs doesn't respect the UNIX philosophy either, but that's one of the most praised pieces of software to come out of the UNIX space.

They have graphs for both renewables with hydro and renewables without hydro, the effect is there for both. They also have a separate gas graph too.

But, hydro and gas pairing really well with solar and wind is an actual thing that helps lower energy costs so I don't see why that should be totally ignored.
...so, how does a systemd unit definition differ from a Makefile (other than using a different syntax, obviously)? What features would you need to add to UNIX make (and PID 1, for that matter) in order to be able to separate out this whole dependency management business from the other stuff PID 1 has to deal with already?
Assuming your figures are correct, you'll get double the data for another 30% cost.

If you wait a month before launching #2, if problems appear in #1 (like the telescope mirror was ground improperly) it can be fixed in #2.

The operational cost will not double. The same ground facility, equipment, and staff can manage both.

If you're buying two identical launches, you can get a quantity discount.

> the benefits of a second one would be marginal compared to the benefits of the first one

And yet I read many glowing accounts about how much extra value came from extending the Hubble's lifetime.

I do have some experience with this. I worked for 3 years on the design of the 757. Thousands of engineers spending maybe 5 years on it. None of that has to be repeated. In a machine shop, most of the cost is in the setup. Making two adds little cost. I had a job assembling electronics to help pay for college. The first board would take 2 hours to build. The next one, half that. The fourth, 20 minutes.

I'm sure there's plenty of software on board that machine. On HN we all know how expensive making software is. Making a copy costs nothing.
I mention this in passing in the post, but I think the various notations that exist to express finite state machines help us greatly to understand complex software systems.

One way to express FSMs is the general node-and-arrow diagram. That makes sense for simple systems like a traffic light ("red" can only go to "green", etc. etc.) But for more complex state machines, we might want to express it in a regular expression, which is mathematically equivalent and lends itself to a different kind of mental model that might be better for, say, writing a search engine. Another "notation" to represent FSMs is matrices that model state transitions (if you can go from state 1 to state 2, X[1][2] = 1, otherwise it's 0, etc.) This is useful for certain other kinds of questions like "how many steps to go from state A to state B?.

One practical use case of state machines is in parsing theory. If you're trying to parse JSON correctly to the spec, you might care about the formal grammar of JSON, which is often written in a specialized notation called BNF that describes what symbols can come after another. This is useful for implementing a parser, but to understand the grammar itself I personally find railroad diagrams [0] more intuitive. Different notations for the same idea let us be smarter in different use cases.

On a completely different track of ideas: you might be interested in the work from Dion Systems [1] which are doing some interesting research into more dynamic ways to work with source code that I think reflects a lot of the ideas I wrote about. It touches on your specific comment more directly.
