Just a small note that the walrus operator gives you some wiggle room here:

add_5_to_square_if_greater_than_10 = lambda x: squared + 5 if (squared := x * x) > 10 else x
assert add_5_to_square_if_greater_than_10(2) == 2
assert add_5_to_square_if_greater_than_10(5) == 30
> Can you say more about how you incentivize truthful bidding? I understand about exposure risk and expressive bidding

Both the multiunit dynamics and the specifics of our uniform clearing price mechanic minimize ex-post regret. Double auctions suffer from the winners curse/adverse selection, as limit orders are always "traded through." Multiunit uniform clearing price mechanisms like OneChronos can lessen or eliminate that by incentivizing buyers and sellers to truthfully report aggregate supply and demand curves, and Expressive Bidding enables the reporting of supply and demand curves (among other things). NB: we are not an IC direct mechanism. We are balanced budget and individually rational.

I love the part about eventually determining your value-add by comparing to a counterfactual vanilla market -- sounds a bit like Shapley value? If not exactly Shapley value?

It's a hot take on both Shapley values and VCG (while avoiding the issues with both), and it's about to become an active area of research for us!
But are these student groups distinct from the CCP? Reading this and several other recent posts about Chinese student groups, it appears some/many of them are very much pro-CCP. Whether that's because those students are 100% indoctrinated or simply scared of retaliation against family black home, I do not know.
I'm there and have a great life outside of work and a young family. I've yet to see the crazy culture everyone rants about.

I prefer a bit tougher job that means I'll be financially free in 10 years. It also means my wife doesn't have to work and can really focus on raising our children.

I've worked some long days, but not 16hrs. Plus I really dig the projects I'm on.
How about no need for a number at all!?!??
Thanks! It means a lot knowing people are out there rooting for us :)
I have done exactly as you suggest but it's tough. It's the early part of the day that's so challenging. I have perhaps built up my morning coffee + cannabis routine into too much of an idealized mental state. I really do love the initial sense of being up early, checking messages, getting ahead of my day's work, all while perking away on my hippie speedball flow. Doing without it feels, at least for a while, like disdaining technicolor Oz in favor of staying in black-and-white Kansas. I can fight through this for a while to re-establish a less frequent & early schedule but without anything reinforcing this routine I find it irresistible to slip back into the early morning 'treat'. The only thing that makes me want to not do that is the fact that once I break the seal, the rest of the day will feel increasingly bland. So in some sense it feels easier or at least more realistic to plan for no weed instead of constantly checking in with myself about whether I've reached the magic hour yet.

Thank you!
This is a form of animism. The strange belief that some words have magical powers. Superstition.
Yeah Bitcoin is such an interesting exception! I think some ideas are viral enough on their own to go from zero to front-page on HN/reddit/etc. even when posted by an anonymous user - but it's rare to go beyond that, they usually run out of momentum.

Bitcoin had a few things going for it - the whitepaper is concise and well-explained, in perfect academic prose and typeset in LaTEX, which lends it an air of credibility. It came with an implementation, so hackers could experiment with it immediately, plus it sort of has implicit libertarian anti-government undertones, both of which encouraged follow-on blog posts.

Once the ball got rolling, another kind of heuristic took over - the money heuristic. People put money into the thing, which made other people go "oh look at how much money they put in, this is a real serious investment thing!" and put in their money, in a sick feedback loop that continues to this day...
Interesting, the claim is that it is very high speed (article says ~10Mb/s), I'm not sure how that compares to existing methods (Apple's security docs say they use a bunch of ring oscillators), but I'm also curious what the space efficiency and manufacturing cost would be - traditional MEMS chips seem quite expensive.

Of course it's never bad to have more options in designing physical random sources, at least until we get embedded lava lamps.
I'm in the same boat. I want my membership fee to go to the musical artists I listen to and not to podcasters whose speech I may or may not agree with. This additional $100M to minority voices is even more of my money not going to the artists I listen to.
I used to hate PHP with passion myself (having read those articles too) before I had to take on a large project which used modern practices (PHP 7+, latest Symfony) and I can say it's been a surprisingly smooth sailing so far, most of the time you use nicely designed abstractions over the core APIs provided by the framework (or its modules) and don't use built-in functions directly. The actual annoyances I notice everyday are things like inconsistent argument order in array_* functions (people prefer to use them directly), but you quickly get used to it and there's not that many of such functions in day-to-day work. What you usually do is generic stuff like defining models, writing controllers etc. and most of the time it doesn't feel much different from other enterprisey languages I've used such as C# or Java. From time to time you have to use some arcane PHP function because the framework doesn't provide it for you but there's a custom, at our company at least, to wrap such functions in nice utility classes once and forget they exist.

Really depends on the spine of the CEO. If he sticks to his guns, makes a blanket statement essentially saying "Rogan is staying, deal with it" then he will stay. If the CEO allows activist employees to continue to cause problems then Rogan will be removed.
The study itself states that in patients that are not hospitalized the risks of various heart conditions increase on average by ~1.5-2x.

That's for the entire cohort of non-hospitalized individuals, it's an average.

If you assume that they're uniformly distributed (e.g. if you assume that the relative risk of future myocarditis is identical for someone who has no symptoms, and for someone who's bedridden for a week with breathing difficulties but non-hospitalized), the figures show that if you're not hospitalized your risk of myocarditis and other heart issues is multiplied by about 2.

If the study were binned more finely I think you'd see a 5x multiplier if you have mild illness (mild in the clinical sense which simply means non-hospitalized but exhibiting symptoms) or no discernable effect if asymptomatic. I agree that there is no specific data for this, I'm extrapolating the curve.

We're not debating this point, this is a paper showing the correlation between the short term and long term effects of the disease.

There are no successful competitors in the space that charge money. Who would be stupid enough to take a dominant market position that purely benefits them and attempt to monetize it? Email is a commodity market and it hasn't been shown that anyone is willing to pay for a premium en-masse.

I see no risk here.
Newtonian mechanics does not have absolute speed. We can only say A is moving at 5m/s relative to B.

But Newton does have absolute acceleration. So we can say
A is accelerating at 5m/s² without even thinking of B.

Since a rotating body accelerates, we should be able to say that the earth rotates without even thinking of the sky.

The proof does exactly this. Looking at a gyroscope is sufficient to prove that the earth rotates. No need to look at the sky
I have been building a job board for more than a year now. It makes decent money, more than I expected it to. It's somewhere around 1.000€+ on good months.

On the other hand, it's not quite so passive. I constantly work on it, because I really enjoy working on it. Be it sales, marketing, SEO, building it - love it.

This is also my way of putting the work in to progress my career. I'm learning a lot; experimenting with tools and languages that I want - although I keep it to a bare minimum.

I have a 2015 MBP that I would have probably used indefinitely. I'm reluctant to get v1 of any Apple hardware for historical experiences. Unfortunately, my hand has been forced and the screen finally died. The cost of replacement is over 50% of a new M1 MBP and just about the cost of a used 2015 MBP.

It's been a good run but I think us 2015 MBP owners are going to find it harder to keep them running. Components break and everything is so integrated now it's increasingly difficult to replace the bad bits without swapping major parts.

So now I carry a 2020 MBA and it's been a learning curve since different software is at various stages of AARM compatibility.
I still hope they hold the line though. There has been enough cancellation of people lately. I was hoping the practice might become less trendy or the failure of twitter, whichever comes first.

Perelman was widely known as a math prodigy (he won gold for the USSR at the International Mathematical Olympiad) and studied at the Leningrad University, so he could approach pretty much any of his former professors to take a look.

That's not supported by any data posted there. You'd have to have almost all of your memory filled will pointers to achieve 2x increase which just doesn't happen in reality. Looking at a large application like Firefox https://www.raymond.cc/blog/mozilla-firefox-64bit-build-perf... you get ~30% increase.
Agree, but I think it's an And, not an Or. I can't imagine a world in which we've dealt with actual systemic racism in which casual use of the N-word is just sort of fine.
I think we can maybe inject a little bit of extra nuance here.

Not every field is the same, they vary massively in size, level of external influence, and complexity in subject matter. Psychology suffers more than most. It's a large field, so competition to get noticed is likely high. There is money to be made, as discussed in the article, so it struggles with influences outside of pure scientific inquiry, and they have no chance of describing their theories in terms of pure component mathematics.

Contrast that with ocean and atmospheric sciences. It is a tiny and very insular field, so the rat race works very differently. This also protects them from outside influences, and a lot of the major underlying physical and biological processes involved can be modeled with mathematics that have been demonstrated to be predictive.

It's just easier for some fields to reliably produce higher quality work. I think this is a case where blanket skepticism is just lazy. Every field suffers some level of a reproducibility issue, but some fields are better able to self select for a variety of reasons.

Man, I hit a nerve or something. I'm not making any claims about this, I'm just saying a one off comment doesn't make someone a conspiracy theorist.

> but I felt the months ticking by and my frontend skills degrading.

Like it or not, he isn't wrong about this, though.

Web frontend stuff is like phone app coding ... it's a treadmill. And if you fall off for 18 months, it takes a LOT of effort to get back up to speed.
My family and friends aren't qualified and don't have the necessary medical equipment to keep me alive on the way to the hospital. Also, they're busy during the day and sleep at night and I don't want to burden them with being available 24/7 to come to my aid. Also, like most social situations, people generally assume that others will care enough to respond, which leads to no one responding.

Emergency services are generally funded to be able to respond to an emergency, are available 24/7, and know that if you call them, they're the ones that need to come. I trust them nearly absolutely to come if I call them, though I do know that if they are funded poorly, they may come too slowly to help me, which is why I want them to be funded properly, and in a way that operates at a loss (I don't believe these services need to turn a profit).

If I'm in a rural area, I know that response times are going to be very slow, but they will also be slow if it's friends or family, because it's a rural area, and everyone lives far away from each other. If it's the middle of the night, my assumption is that my friends and family won't be reachable at all, but maybe the police will be.

Neighborhoods funding their own services mean that rich people get great service and poor people are on their own.

I understand that this is how libertarians think, and this is why I think that libertarians live in a fantasy world where they believe things will work out exactly the way they've planned them in their mind.

The same intensity? No, more intensity.

Actual white supremacists don’t pose any threat to the prevailing system of thought, so mostly get ignored as marginal wackos.

On the other hand, mainstream people who dissent, even in a minor way, pose a serious threat. They challenge orthodoxy in a way that crazy racists don’t. The real danger? People might start listening to them!

That’s why they get shut down harder. It’s about silencing credible dissent.

Actual harm prevention is a distant secondary concern.
What We've Learned from NKS Chapter 1
Adverse sounds serious, but really:

About 105 vaccine recipients reported at least one AEFI symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination (incidence proportion 6.4%, 95% CI: 5.3%, 7.7%). All AEFI reported were minor which were managed by tablet paracetamol and subsided after 1–2 days. Fever (65, 3.98%) was the most commonly reported AEFI followed by myalgia (54, 3.30%) (Fig. 1). About 48 (2.94%) study participants reported 2 or more AEFI, most common being fever with myalgia (19, 1.16%) and fever with headache (18, 1.10%). No severe or serious AEFI was reported among vaccine recipients.
And Sweden
It appears the study date only moves up to the start of vaccine release. We’ll probably be waiting another 12 months to get that data

They're great compared to the alternative of simply storing a plaintext register of every pair of communicating parties on the server, which is how other messengers work. What's "good" about phone numbers is that they're tied clientside to a "buddy list" that everyone already keeps --- their contact list. They don't want phone numbers on the merits of phone numbers.

Uber is one of many VC-funded businesses that set out to intentionally flout the intention of the laws where they operate. They find a loophole and drive through it with a dump truck. They expect to litigate when challenged to extend their runway. If they fail, the founders walk away with millions and get to do it all again.

This kind of behavior is a huge disincentive to people that actually want to follow the spirit of the law. I mean, who wants to play a game where the other participants are flagrantly unabashed cheaters? Who wants to try to raise capital honestly, when liars can thrive?

I have plenty of ideas and skills to launch viable startup businesses, but I'm not will to lie, cheat, and steal to compete. And like it or not, that's pretty much exactly what it takes to create a business like Uber.
I agree with you but I am really interested to watch this play out. It feels like, for lack of better term, the rabid 'cancel culture' folks are dug in on canceling someone who seems by all appearances un-cancellable(sp?). This guy has a way bigger following than Jones did.

It will be interesting to see how this goes. My hope/wish is that Spotify tells everyone to pound sand, and this trend of mobbing people can begin to end. Or they do the opposite, Rogan goes to some more erm, 'open' platform, and we end up with some weird even more divided internet.
Most of these employees won't leave as well. The pay and benefits are too good at Spotify. It's all virtue signaling.
This means that expressing changes in a tiny value relative to its baseline (e.g. "3x as likely") sounds more impactful than expressing the same changes in absolute terms (e.g. "from 0.01% to 0.03%").

Of course a talk show host with free range on guests is going to take on guests he finds interesting and often the most interesting view points are the ones that contradict with the status quo.

To me the quests seem to have some credentials and they have/had concerns over some aspects of how Covid is being treated, how the vacine is being administered, and how Covid restrictions are beign handled. They are interesting points and might be worth considering. I for one have been curious since the begining why Ivermectine was just banned fast with a smear campaign instead of doing actual trials and showing it doesn't work against Covid.

None of this is antivax or utter bullshit in my mind

Yea, it seems like this is the most information they could give you without violating the addressee's privacy by revealing whether they have uninstalled the app. I suppose it could be worth it if, when the message remains undelivered for a while, Signal added an explicit note to that effect so the sender doesn't misunderstand.

Given $160K + $350K bonus for the first year, I assume this was an L6 role. In Amazon, an L6 engineer pretty much functions like a staff engineer and even a senior staff engineer. That is, they spend majority of their time sorting out priorities, convincing teams which direction to go with, and align all kinds of stakeholders. They are also responsible for the project management of those projects that span across multiple teams and sometimes multiple orgs.

So in a word, Amazon pays L6 engineers to sort out ambiguities and to shepherd teams. This may not be more complex than your work, mind you. It's just Amazon or companies large enough to have a tech ladder value this kind of role.
> So really, all languages have a runtime, it's just a matter of where it's hiding.

Your definitions are meaningless. You may as well also say that all languages are garbage collected, since the C programmer must call `free` one way or another (or not, and let the OS be the garbage collector at cleanup).

By everyone's understanding of the words, C does not have a runtime nor garbage collection. Java does have a runtime and garbage collection. You can play with definitions and hypotheticals; it does not change the facts.
Overplayed? It jeopardises the entire edifice of that subfield, and by extension psychology itself, if it is not vigorously disowned.

Sokal said it well (from the article):

> “For me, the real question is not about Fredrickson or Losada or Seligman,” Sokal says. “It’s about the whole community. Why is it that no one before Nick—and I mean Nick was a first semester part-time Master’s student, at, let’s be honest, a fairly obscure university in London who has no particular training in mathematics—why is it that no one realized this stuff was bullshit? Where were all the supposed experts?”

> “Is it really true that no one saw through this,” he asks, “in an article that was cited 350 times, in a field which touts itself as being so scientific?”
Correct, but that's just how the country is. If people want cultural changes, they've gotta address the causes of the divides in the US and understand that they'll have massive negative consequences too, not just positive ones.

Or they can move to a country that is already more in line with what they want out of society.
