Headline seems accurate to me. The headline:

New Study Disavows Marshmallow Test’s Predictive Powers.

And it does. The marshmellow test as a single measure is referred to as RND. Which is a test which measures gratification wait times and is applied in pre-school. Their hypothesis regarding RND:

hyp2: On its own, RND (measured around age four) will have only a very small correlation with the measures of mid-life capital formation.

And they report a confirmation of this hypothesis.

The other hypothesis refers to RNSRI rank-normalized self-regulatory index - which is 4 different components measured at different ages - each component is RND + 86 other measures! This is reported as having a "modest" impact on outcomes - not "strong" as you say. So your reporting seems the more inaccurate to me.

But this is irrelevant anyway with respect to your claim about the headline, which is only referring to the paper's disavowel of RND.

Further evidence of the headline's accuracy and the paper's disavowel of RND is that they also looked at RNCCQ - which is RNSRI minus the inclusion of the RND test from each of the four components. They found that including RND did not improve RNSRI over RNCCQ in terms of their predictive power.
You can't just respond to something unrelated and say "trust in CNN is evaporating" or whatever the parent comment was going. What does that have to do with Trump's new social media thing using the more dictatorial names for countries?
There are probably a few devs at Apple trying to work something out, hearing conflicting things from the attorneys ("don't worry about it, we've got this") and their manager ("my boss wants something in case they don't got this"). There's probably a bunch of hardcoded bits about it, it needs to go through QA, all while not pissing on the attorney's parade.

I've been one of those devs once. It wasn't nearly as high stakes though.
I've generally followed a single piece of advice.

"Work the people, then the problem."

> Avoid becoming the bottleneck that everything has to go through.

The problem with this is that it's inevitable with any talented individual. People will look to you for answers to their questions. To help get things done because you have a track record of doing so. There becomes a point where it doesn't scale and you need to now delegate and empower individuals to find answers on their own or make decisions without always seeking approval.

> Your job is not to make managers happy. It is to make the team’s work impact the business.

The biggest challenge here is playing the TPM/EM role when your engineering counterparts are not empowered. To make them happy, you have to step on toes and stir the pot sometimes when process is tedious, team dynamics / morale is low, or the respective EM does not run the team how the team wants to run.

This is a great article for anyone interested in "leading with influence" and applies to all disciplines, not just PM.
Strong Towns is great. My hesitancy of this kind of activism is that I can't track down and show up to every public hearing like grumpy retired homeowners can.
Database is a lot of work to add as managed service, you need backup, encryption, replicas, scaling etc.

Nice! It really is amazing watching the community over time. Techniques like house walling, archer kiting, scout rushes, hit+run vil attacks with starting scout, boar luring, deer pushing etc went from being rare/high-level play, to something everyone (above 800 ELO at least) does!
What if he repeatedly interrupted others? I am not saying this is what happened. Just to point out that people can be shouted at for good reasons.
Interestingly if you change the line to `counter += 1` it still has the race condition. I'm not sure how the byte code is different for the two options but it doesn't make a difference, I had hoped it would.
It seems to me that this attack leaves a very easy to detect signature of several tags that were seen only once by the same device. To counter being detected, an attacker would need to fake other readings of the same single-use "tags" by other devices. This is somewhat similar to the detecting fake spam accounts in social networks. It's a cat-and-mouse game, but it seems that in this case the cat has the upper hand unless the mice are willing to put in a lot of effort to fake "realness", which might make the attack not feasible.

I think some of those extensions rely on drastically different language primitives absent from most other languages.

eg.
https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/master/d...

Rust has a built-in macro marker for tests. I suspect rust-analyzer uses this fact when it searches all AST nodes with the #[test] marker that contain a call to the symbol in question for the implementation.

So adding the related tests interface to other languages would require similar AST-level primitives.
As a SWE, the liklihood of my leaving is directly correlated with the frequency of my interactions with lawyers. There is such a desparate need for lawyers with a tech background.
I can understand why you’d think that.

If I may challenge your idea: what you describe only applies to teams that don’t meet often.

My team has been doing this daily standup for years. Those 10 minutes are succinct - and effective. We save the chit chat (of which there’s plenty) for our lunch breaks and after hours.

I wouldn’t blame someone for doubting it’s possible. But yeah, in our case, it just works.
For sexual content
Indeed, and the article mentions this. “The Watts study findings support a common criticism of the marshmallow test: that waiting out temptation for a later reward is largely a middle or upper class behavior. If you come from a place of shortages and broken promises, eating the treat in front of you now might be the better bet than trusting there will be more later.”
> If a platform specific way of doing something works better in some use-case then there should be no shame in using that.

I fully agree, but the real problem is not the limitation to platform-specific logic but the conflation of fundamental requirements and incidental requirements. There's no good way to know when you meant "int" as just a counter of a user's files, or "int" as in a 32-bit bitmask, or "int" as the value of a pointer. For the former, it probably doesn't matter if someone later compiles it for a different architecture, for the latter, if you mean int32_t or uintptr_t, use that!
I’ve never seen bullying in stand-up? So I’m skeptical of this “almost always”.

In fact many of the teams I’ve working are fine with people skipping standup if they have any reason to. Currently I skip like half of my teams standups.

"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an agency of the United States government responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector.

This isn’t my field, but I think this is par for the course unfortunately and a manifestation of a larger issue. Eg https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/jo...
I give a shit that the people building my tools are injecting their politics into my tools in places where they don't belong. Browser makers being happy to decide what I should see on the web will make me bail.

Now, there are of course parts of politics that are pertinent to the tool in question - privacy issues for browser developers, for example, or tracking.

Both the Brave and Vivaldi teams have people I know I disagree with politically. But I like their products, and I like the companies? Why? Because whatever the companies' employees views, the two companies' politics are about user control and privacy, and they walk the talk. Both in their own ways that reflect the people making the tool, but insofar as the companies are political, they are political in a very, very narrow way.

Basically, they understand their job is to make hammers and not to sermon about flower arrangement. Mozilla (and much of the tech sphere, sadly) is increasingly the reverse.
> it’s reasonable for a beginner in physics to trust that calculus works without fully understanding its foundations.

Even the beginner doesn't have to "trust" that calculus works. He can verify for himself that using calculus to manipulate equations in the theory yields predictions which are confirmed by experiment.

The main area where I see that "trust" would be required in science is reporting of raw data directly obtained from experiments that other people run. Yes, everyone else has to trust that the person who is reporting that data actually ran the experiment they claim to have run and recorded that exact data from that experiment in its entirety--that they didn't make up the data, or massage it, or cherry pick only certain runs, etc. That is why, when scientists are found to have violated this trust, the penalties are typically severe.

Other than that, though, you don't have to "trust" anything in science blindly. Whether a particular set of data is consistent with a particular set of theoretical predictions is something that can be verified independently. And since theoretical predictions are just mathematical derivations from certain stated axioms, those can also be verified independently. So no one ever has to just take someone else's word about those things.
>But maybe in the days of phrenology, people thought a hooked nose had a plausible connection to personality as well?

Phrenology is bumps on the head right? I think hook nose would be physiognomy. But yes, the idea was that your behavior was due to your brain and your brain was composed of many different parts that each controlled different propensities or abilities. Then it was just a matter of identifying where those propensities lived, in relation to the head and then you could feel for the differences from person to person across the surface of the head. From the naive viewpoint it is plausible, oh, you say the back right section of my head, above the ear is a bit larger so the self-control portion of my brain is well developed? I've always thought so!

Setting aside the marshmallow test, you can easily see how scientific theories about this sort of thing, both right and wrong, easily integrate.
It's a good question. The answer is straightforward. Let's say you saw `i` in a book. How would you know if it is Latin or Cryillic?

By the context!

How would a book distinguish `a` as in `apple` from `a` as in `a+b`? (Unicode has a separate letter a from a math a.)

By the context!

This is what I meant by Unicode has no business adding semantic content. Semantics come from context, not from glyph. After all, what if I decided to write:

(a) first bullet point

(b) second bullet point

Now what? Is that letter a or math symbol a? There's no end to semantic content. It's impossible to put this into Unicode in any kind of reasonable manner. Trying to do it leads one into a swamp of hopelessness.

BTW, the attached article is precisely about deliberately misusing identical glyphs in order to confuse the reader because the C compiler treats them differently. What better case for semantic content for glyphs being a hopelessly wrongheaded idea.

If you think it's very different, can you tell me when, in people or animals that we'd agree are conscious, that there's consciousness but no experience of qualia, or experience of qualia without consciousness?

Experience of a stream of qualia is how I'd define consciousness. This is also consistent with the medical definition (leaving aside the other minds problem). If you have a different working definition, how does it differ from mine?

> Leaving aside the fact that I don’t believe anyone does this.

Everyone who uses GPUs with Kubernetes does exactly this. GPUs are not a native thing to Kubernetes.

> You just maybe proved the point that I originally asserted: the things you configure on kubernetes are the same things you configure on cloud VMs

You are of course entirely missing the point, and I’m not sure if you’re doing it on purpose or not.

You have 100 units of work that you need to run. A unit of work is some “thing” that needs a certain number of CPU cores, memory, GPUs and other user-defined resources. Each unit of work also needs an individual identity, distinct from other units of work.

Go and code something to run that workload on the minimum number of cloud VMs, taking into account cost and your own user-defined scaling policies, minimizing the amount of unused resources. Now make it handle adapting to changes in the quantity and definitions of those units of work. Now make it handle over-committing, allowing units of work to have hard and soft limits that depend on the utilization of the underlying hardware. Now make it provision some form of secure identity per unit of work.

After you’ve spent time coding that, you’ll realize that:

1. It’s hard

2. You’ve re-invented part of Kubernetes

3. Your implementation is shit

4. It’s very much not “the same things you can configure on cloud VMs”

I think much improved write performance is a good example of how it can be beneficial, with minimal risk.

Everything can be nice ideals of abstraction, until you want to push the envelope.
Sure, it's sometimes real. It's just a saying. But there is definitely a real aspect to it where the stress of constant losing will wear on even the strongest team over time. It's amazing how quickly the sense can go from thinking the team needs to be blown up to thinking it's on track to contend at the highest level.
Sure, but balancing the needs of multiple people is what a relationship is all about, and the idea that you give up on that entirely to focus solely on your children what's being criticised here. Yes, your children will have needs, and yes, you will need to sacrifice some things to help your children, but that doesn't mean that "your life is no longer your own", any more than the sacrifices you make to form a relationship with a partner.

To be charitable, I think the original post was more making an argument against complete individualism, and I broadly agree with that in principle: if you live in a community, you will have to deal with compromises between what you want and what other people want. But it's dangerous to push things too far the other way: if you are making all the compromises, and getting nothing that you want, then there is something unhealthy about that relationship. Obviously that plays out differently for relationships between adults, and relationships between parents and their children - you can't sit down with a baby and set clear boundaries! But making time for yourself, and organising things so your needs are met is still important.
STOP BUYING GOOGLE HARDWARE
Some freight yes, some freight yes, probably not. Fruit and mail needs to go very fast and is often shipped by airplane. There are a few cases where regular shipping doesn't deliver on time and so an emergency order is air freighted in - at great expense.

I doubt that they can get their costs lower than airplanes. They need to buy land all the way from point A to point B, vs only at airports. Airplanes also run at a partial vacuum (30000 feet) by nature. As such it is hard to see anyone using them instead of something else. Where speed counts airplanes are faster, where speed doesn't count ships and slow trains in air are a cheaper.
your statement makes the bus figure look honest by comparison

the block grant to Scotland in 2019/20 was £32 billion, whereas EU RDF was €1.8 billion for 2014-2020

or put another way: the UK block grant provides Scotland more than 128x more the EU funding over the same period

put another way: EU funding is 0.78% of that provided by the UK, which I think is fair to describe as a rounding error

additional points:

1. the RDF only exists because of Westminster: the UK government made it a condition when it joined the EEC in 1972

2. EU funds spent in the UK are funds from Westminster as the UK is (well, was, thankfully) a net contributor

A lot of observable phenomena function as positive feedback loops, simply because positive feedback loops are usually needed to generate effect sizes that become "observable" beyond individual variation. It's very likely the being able to delay gratification makes you wealthy, which makes you better able to delay gratification, which makes you wealthier, and so on. And that's why we have discernible social classes, where mobility from one to another becomes very difficult.

Breaking the feedback loop usually involves doing something farsighted, risky, and irrational - for example, risking getting fired from your retail job by studying programming and applying to software engineering jobs in your downtime, or quitting your stable corporate job to found a startup.

Yup, I am a big fan of Stim, and work on similar tools in Julia. It is awesome to be able to run 1Gqubit Pauli multiplication in a few milliseconds, however I feel it is reasonable to call this "boring" high-performance libraries given how "fortran-ie" they still feel. Even if the application of these libraries is not boring at all (I have seen what Stim can do).

Half my company has this much talky talky time and its horrible for efficiency. I work on internal tooling so requirements are more clear, I spend 2-3 hours a week in meetings and I'm 3x more productive than them. My feeling is the biggest issue for the engineers spending time in meetings is that PMs are very bad at seeing technical challenges in what they are selling so there needs to be a lot of time wasted of more technical people helping them finalize the spec. In Micosoft PMs had a lot more technical background/former programmers so way less dev time was wasted in meetings
