FWIW, I think that this factor:

> If the upper class want someplace to send their kids to read poetry and binge drink for 4 years

Is the heart of the problem. For a long time, this was basically the core function of universities - to make people part of the elite. We told ourselves that it was actually about the things being taught rather than social connections. Maybe to a certain extent it even was.

But then, operating on that assumption, we say, what gives these people the right to be elites? Let's make it more accessible! Send anyone who's smart enough and can afford it to school.

We do that. And many of them do go on to get better and higher-paying jobs. To some extent, society creates more jobs for them to do, and to some extent, existing jobs get education inflation, requiring advanced degrees for no real reason.

But why stop there? This is biased against the people who can't afford it. Let's create a ton of scholarships and student loan programs to make it more affordable so more people go. This kind of works, and kind of increases the prices even more (due to bad design of the loan system) and increases education inflation some too.

We've already made it so attractive, might as well tell all high school students that they're failures if they don't go to college, even if it really isn't for them. Tell 'em that so hard that the blue-collar jobs we do still need start to have trouble getting employees and sometimes actually increase in wage past the point of some degree-requiring jobs.

The way the whole financing of the system works makes the whole thing a huge money-pit too, which helps it keep absorbing more functions.

It sure feels like the whole system has gone crazy and needs some major reworking. I'm not sure what the new healthier system would look like or how we transition to it, but something needs to happen. Sorry, not everyone can be the elite. We should stop telling people that they're a failure in life if they don't join the elite and stop making them perform signs of elite status, like degrees at high-ranked universities, to get jobs that ultimately aren't all that important.

Without a well-informed populace, democracy cannot function.

College campuses have gone through severe idealogical capture, so the idea that going through a 4-year degree leads to a well informed populace is laughable.

I would argue that a 4-year peace corps posting in an improvised country would lead to a better informed population than any liberal arts education.
I remember when Chrome OS first came out. I have an old Chromebox I got at Google I/O over a decade ago too. And I remember all of the narrative about it being better because it was just the web browser, and the web was all you needed.

Chrome OS has firmly educated me on how to read marketing copy about things the product doesn't have. "Tell people they don't need it until you catch up to your competitors."

Ten years more from now if Chrome OS still exists, I expect it to simply be another macOS or Windows clone with more or less all of the same features and trappings.
Amazon Aurora: Design Considerations and on Avoiding Distributed Consensus
I don't agree. KDE in particular feels more well rounded than ever before. I use it on FreeBSD but I use Linux on servers and I'm also very happy with that.

Windows 10 is stable for me too though I was hit with the eTPM stutter bug (I use my Windows box exclusively for gaming, in particular VR which I didn't feel like figuring out in proton). But the windows dark patterns are surely there and I hate them. But as it's only my gaming machine I can deal with it.

And Mac... Well I moved away from it because Apple is locking down too much and I've come to hate opinionated software. Still they seem to be doing nice things with M1..

Do you need everything to be verbosely narrated out for you to consider it “lore”?

There’s some good worldbuilding and backstory in StS, but you have to play a lot to comb through all the random events etc. to discover it. It won’t sit you on its lap and read to you.
Well, at a first pass: Labor market negotiating power is unbalanced; owners of capital are loathe to give it away under any circumstances; workers, especially poor workers, don't have a lot of flexibility to shop around for jobs when they need one; and by and large modern business thinking & planning is incredibly short-term and liable to walk itself into stupid and avoidable situations like not being able to stock shelves with toilet paper for six months or sell $30k cars for lack of $5 worth of old computer chips.

Basically, you've got a pile of short-sighted, emotional apes, often operating under conditions of stress or duress, with imperfect information and a planning system that's effectively hijacking stress responses designed to respond to actual flesh & blood predators to evaluate interest rates. All that indicates to me that the cohabitation of "we can't find workers" and "no, we're not raising wages" is maybe less surprising than theory would suggest.

Specific to what's happening in the farm labor market, I'd suspect there's a lot of interplay between the immigration system being pretty broken and farm owners being on the whole kind of crappy businessmen that leads to this particular market distortion.
I think the OP is using location not as a metric for packet routing or anything else related to the networking aspect, but as an additional piece of information that applications running on the mesh network can make use of.
You know, for an operating system that's meant for an average user and not a tech-savy person (that most of us likely are), Windows 11 is fine if you strictly use the basic features. But if the average person of my dad's generation had a start tile, and clicked on windows on the left... they'd have no idea what's going on.

A lot of this appears to be changed just for the sake of it. What I don't understand is - it takes effort to change something. Why not keep the basics the way they are? Start tiles got a reskin I think 2 years ago, and while it changed the visual look (positively) it kept it functionally identical. The current changes... are not. Despite windows being the OS I'm most familiar with, I'm quite certain I'm going to go Linux with wine/proton after Win10 EOL (2025 iirc) - almost every Win11 article gives more reason to hate it, despite me wanting to love it. I'm setting up a server and I think I'll start dabbling with Linux from now itself so the transition is smooth.
With as bad as some of Ford's practices were, he did have a couple decent ones. If I recall correctly, Ford essentially had his own internal engineering school where some line workers could get accepted into, become engineers and work for the company as an engineer.
I don't think possession of revenge porn by third parties should be illegal. However, I do think a victim of revenge porn should have causes of action against the ex or whomever recorded and distributed it. In some countries, like Australia at least, recording and distributing revenge porn has resulted in claims in equity for breach of confidence - so something like that already works.

But prosecuting third parties for having it is asinine, IMO.
You can ballpark it based on similar viruses, long covid is CFS/ME/Dysautonomia which is known to occur after harsh viruses at a rate of around 10-20%. It's knowable in research but doctors and public institutions are very slow to pick it up. Just look at how little was done with CFS/ME and how much medical gaslighting is still going on even though very clear diagnostic tools now exist.
There are schools that don't allow grad students to teach.

It seems like universities are the best place to learn, given the obvious resources? If I want to learn about history, it would be good to have experts in history, books about history, other people studying history, etc.?

Universities that stifle dissenting opinions are the best place to learn? Interesting.

There are plenty of online resources these days with active communities where you can learn from peers without fear of being penalized by your peers or an ideologically captured professor who will fail you for not toeing the idealogical line.
Let's just say the other kids complained that I was raising the curve.
That would require removing parking. The small minority of drivers in the city get VERY worked up about the possibility. It's a classic example of how policy changes with diffuse benefits and concentrated costs are hard to implement.
>We have a constitutional republic that makes it impossible for the federal government to unilaterally mandate

This isn't the only way the Fed can get things done. For example, the drinking restriction for 21+ is a state level issue strongly encouraged by the Fed. Louisiana tried to hold to 18+ for the longest, but the Fed finally won by threatening to withhold federal funding for highways.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really don't care that much about UI visual consistency so long as it doesn't make the application confusing (i.e. not underlining hyperlinks or something). However, stuff like tasks on startup should be managed in one location that is easy to find.
You are not being gaslit - you applied a singular experience on your part as an argument in a more general sense.

That doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen to you or wasn’t meaningful, just a poor persuasive argument.
My system bluescreens when I so much as install WSL2 on my second work laptop with Windows 11. Tried to track it down and it seems to be some stupid Lenovo driver but it's almost impossible to fix :(
> I also think there is a benefit to a team using the same editor for a project. This allows checking in of editor-specific files that increase productivity

This is an interesting thought. Off the top of my head, I don't think I agree -- I'd consider mandating that everyone use an editor that supports EditorConfig and check in an .editorconfig file to enforce basic style standards, but beyond that, I'd be inclined to think that you're going to get more productivity by letting people use editors that they're familiar -- and fast -- with.

On topic to your first question: at this point I don't know if we "need" CodeEdit, and of course CodeEdit has to have more to it than a nice README document and a cool icon before we can really make even educated guesses about where it might go in a few years. But you never know. While I don't use Panic Nova (I tried for a bit, but BBEdit 14 has just been better for me as far as aggressively Mac native editors go), I find it really interesting, and v9 suggests they may go after JetBrains more than after VS Code. And I just don't buy the "we need to put all our resources behind Glorious Editor X and embrace a monoculture" argument I've seen in some quarters (particularly a few folks who insist that Nova needs to adopt Code's extension API). I think Code really is shaping up to be the next generation Emacs, but as many, many people might point out, the original generation Emacs is still doing pretty well.
I've worked with ISO26262 before, it's not some utopia, it's a very basic set of requirements, and these requirements are bourne of hard-learned lessons, lessons Hotz seems to publicly dismiss constantly. It doesn't matter if he points out the safety cocerns he has, it's about having a system in place to address safety concerns you don't have. It's the things that aren't obvious that are going to go wrong, and even if they go wrong in 1/10000 cases that's still once per person per year. To be clear, these standard are literally about not assuming the designer is a genius, which absolutely seems to be a premise that Hotz doesn't want to accept.
Would you go back to web dev though? Say if money was no issue at all would you continue being full-time parent?
I thought so too but it really can work if you have the right emotional mindset and stick to your game plan. There are streamers who do it live to prove it.
How to improve your permissions UX
I'm pretty sure git got rid of their `git gui` command a while ago.

What version of git are you using? You probably want to check with `git --version`.

The latest version is 2.35.1.
That makes no sense. Why is "YouTube Premium" capitalized?
I’d be in favor of self-driving cars by the same criteria, but sadly a lot of people are ready to skip that step.

Let’s be clear, there is ZERO empirical evidence that self-driving car technologies available to humanity today are safer than human drivers. Zero.

There are lots of theoretical advantages like “computers don’t get sleepy or drunk,” which elide the many other ways that computers still dramatically underperform people (like recognizing objects).
I'd add another role to that: Offsetting racial inequities in the lower education system.
By far the best feature of the minitel 1B for a kid like me with no budget was that it was free, as long as you could get your hands on one.

I have fond memories of endlessly annoying my parents and the local post office in my quest to get that model, the only free one with a plug i could connect to my PC. Good times.
Whatever your opinion on Musk is, he is at least an inspirational figure that helps inspire the next generation of kids.

No 10-year olds are talking about how to become a savvy financial engineer like Jack Welch at GE, but they are talking about rockets and electric cars thanks to Musk.
That’s a shame, because sometimes graduate students are better teachers than research faculty.

"Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking" by Hadnagy.
Agreed. The concept of WSL1 was much more interesting. Interfacing with Windows through a Linux userland. Actually do stuff on the windows system with a familiar interface.

WSL2 is just Linux in a VM which has been around like forever.

By the way it also put my system in a boot loop (blue screen on boot). I tracked it down to a buggy Lenovo driver but when I removed that it crashed on something else and I got sick of it and gave up.
The other side of the coin is for-profit colleges which are providing the highest cost and lowest value educations. Most of the most indebted college students attended for-profit colleges.
Now we’ve got to get into what "native" even means, defining it in a way that include Sublime Text but excludes VS Code
There is no more room for roads - transit is the only alternative.
I think the point is, since the numbers don't show an uptick in property crime while others are reporting an increase, the only explanation for that is for the reporting of property crime to decrease at the exact same time as the actual crime increases. Why would that happen?
I believe this is a very rose-tinted slant on what the intent is, especially that worldview has shown itself quite willing and ready to generate oppression along some categories in order to purportedly alleviate oppression along other categories, so long as the tables are being turned.
Every analogy is lossy but they can be useful.

You have used several analogous relations to show a larger pattern. You've extracted the utility and distilled it into its essence. It's really hard to stretch what you wrote too far until it breaks, like most standalone analogies. Love it!

(Commenting here in the hope that more people will adopt the tactic.)

Wrong.
One dimension: In my experience one of the most valuable aspects of attending an elite institution is that many of the most prestigious, high-paying, career-accelerating jobs in the US recruit primarily or exclusively at top colleges, and this creates numerous opportunities for their students.
Bingo. All these posts that say "oh just use Linux, it's compatible!" must be from naive junior devs who never have had to to deal with external organizations (especially governments) that require you to use their Word templates and share PowerPoint slides on their Teams calls.
Love this! 34 now, I started as a renewable energy analyst, moved into tech sales, then product and currently just hacking for fun but not looking into transitioning into a full-time SE.

I truly believe we will have more than one career throughout our lifetime due to information availability and accelerated learning. Also for those of us who are privileged and have the time and opportunity, I believe when we achieve the basis mastery of the field, most of us just want to learn something new and do not want to go into PhD level depth.

My next forte is probably design!
> After all, Cerebras made a functional wafer sized chip.

https://cerebras.net/

Yes, but the Cerebras wafer-chip is a repeating pattern of logic, memory, and interconnect tiles. Each pattern is well under the reticle limit of the process node they're using.

And how many Cerebras wafers have shipped? I would imagine that they can afford to spend more engineering effort in the late manufacturing phase, fusing off bad bits, maybe salvaging some other bits... but enabling such late-stage functional-unit binning requires a larger mesh topography.

Apple is using a design that's at the limit of economic feasibility at the mass-market sales volume they can support. They can amortize the engineering expense down among the single most popular retail item on the planet.

Cerebras is an engineering marvel, but I wouldn't call it a mass-market item.

The Mac Studio more closely resembles high-end IBM POWER mainframe modules.

Stunning that you can just go out and buy one. And you don't need a data center to feed it.

> Vomit.

LOL. C'mon, Musk builds rockets, electric cars, robot trucks, and tunnel boring machines. How much more Tom Swift can one get? Ok, Ok, I admit he hasn't yet built a Jetmarine or an Atomic Earth Blaster.

> You surely know people smarter than him who didn't acquire the mass amounts of money

I've never met Musk, so cannot attest personally to his smarts. But I've met plenty of very smart people.

But smarts alone simply isn't good enough to do what Musk does. You'll also need:

1. excitement

2. interest

3. drive

4. willingness to try impossible things

5. perseverance in the face of enormous obstacles

6. a thick skin for being laughed at

7. a willingness to continue in spite of withering criticism and vomit
How are you using the word spying here? Are you using it synonymously with the word surveillance? If the FBI conducts an investigation that may require surveillance do you consider that spying and therefore shouldn’t be allowed to do it?
The grants are even crazier than that.

Most of the actual work is done by trainees who are a) learning how to do <cutting-edge thing> for the first time and b) may never actually do it again because they're going to move onto something else. The profs are, at best, managing them and even that's often a bit iffy.

Everybody's obviously got to learn somewhere, but universities and research funders are oddly weird about experience and expertise.
There's always opportunity. However: the space is, to be frank, kind of boring (mostly just CRUD apps) and has to deal with the government procurement process. Which is why I think no one has come up against Tyler yet. I'm sure someone determined enough could easily eat their lunch but most disruptor types aren't in the municipal CRUD app business.

Municipalities operate about 20 years behind everyone else. For example: asking for AI to determine when grass needs to be cut in medians is just unrealistic when most municipalities don't have the expertise or budget to even produce a functioning mobile platform for their base website.

I disagree with the sibling comment about the data export problem. I worked for a city and getting data in and out, while a hassle, isn't really too tough. Tyler and many other vendors are very lazy with their protections (as clearly evidenced by subject line) and with a bit of know how even very early on in my career I had no issues getting the keys to the city.
> So you can look down on people with those fabric masks, but possibly not be completely correct.

And strapping yourself to your car seat with a knitted scarf might reduce injury risk/severity relative to a person with no seatbelt. That doesn’t mean we should expand the seatbelt mandate to include scarves.
One thing I was told as a grad student that I've never forgotten is, "Nobody has ever won a Nobel prize for having happy students".

At the time, I was struggling to keep up with the marking demands of a new (i.e. This was the first year it was taught) course I was TA'ing. I had around a hundred students and each one was generating 10-20 pages of handwritten lab reports per week. Student writing varied from human typewriter to medical prescription from a meth-addicted doctor. I tried to grade everything fairly and provide feedback about mistakes so students could learn.

My fellow TA's complained to the department that we were well over the hours we were supposed to be spending by a factor of at least 3. We were told to do less. Just to be clear, I wasn't worried about how much I was being paid. The problem was that I had my own research and coursework to do. We simply needed more TA's in that course due to the way lab assignments were designed. The prof teaching the course was apologetic and furnished me with the above quote.

This is teaching at a research focused university in a nutshell. There is no shortage of people who want to do a good job teaching, but the system is designed to force them to spend their time on other things.

Why is an institution of higher learning so hostile to those who want to put an honest effort into teaching? Just as nobody has ever won a Nobel prize for having happy students, no research focused university ranks well if they aren't churning out a lot of papers. Teaching competes with that priority.

If we want better educational outcomes for students, we need to do a better job of aligning the incentives governing universities with that goal.
The Ents are coming!
But you just made the claim that you can identify the behavior of eastern people vs western people through education.

Which contradicts your claim that "humans can’t even accurately judge the behavior of other humans “
