The traditional method seen in philosophical writing is to not address Plato's cave directly, but rather to present an esoteric puzzle that interested minds can only solve by overcoming their own core beliefs. When facts are laid against other facts directly in a way that decoheres a belief, the tendency is simply to go find a scapegoat that will, if defeated, set things right, which plays into the hands of propagandists who will supply an endless number of such scapegoats to an audience desperately craving such, and willful misinterpretations of media to make it say an opposite meaning. The use of esotericism combats this by presenting a text that is nonsense - presenting easy conclusions contrary to facts - until it is analyzed and deduced, at which point it's too late and the contrary thought has been had.

The core beliefs themselves tend to be set during adolescence, and the will of the individual to hold onto them or let them go involves a confluence of factors since they are often absorbed into identity. While you can present the puzzle, you can't stop people from gripping onto what they have as tightly as possible and sacrificing the rest of their life to do so. It's a strategy that appeals mostly towards development of elite thinking, rather than trying to sway the masses(who will continually look for easy beliefs to latch onto).

For more on the topic of esoteric writing I suggest Arthur Melzer's "Philosophy Between the Lines".
I'm certain I'll be fine, and survive without flat Earthers, 5G-causes-COVID, and similar ilk. That's a critical lack of, ironically, critical thinking skills in windmill-type people that this Don Quixote instance considers not worth time nor nerves fighting with nor for.
In high school I had a Philosophy class, and its book [0] had chapters in which their endings short stories. Two of the chapters (5: Learning and Intelligence, 14: Reality) had interesting excerpts from Smullyan's books Alice in Puzzle-land [1] and Five Thousand B.C. and Other Philosophical Fantasies [2], respectively. They highlight philosophical concepts in a way that makes them sort of 'self-explanatory', especially for a beginner student. He also has a textbook, Set Theory and the Continuum Problem which is a rigorous and technical work, and does a great job introducing and developing some results on the idea of forcing [3].

> while spoofing GPS is significantly harder

You are very wrong. Spoofing GPS is downloading a file, and then running a commandline program with a hackrf attached. The *only* hard part is getting a HackRF or other TX capable SDR.

Download and compile https://github.com/osqzss/gps-sdr-sim

it's very likely that i would have never gone to college had there not been an option to test-in. instead i got offers from several top tier institutions based on test scores, essays, work experience and the equivalent of a ged alone.

as such, i'm immensely thankful that the route exists and believe that it should continue to exist as part of a variety of routes for prospective students to demonstrate their aptitude, grit and readiness for higher education.

just as exams and associated scores should not discourage anyone from applying, neither should grade averages or k-12 school experiences. the application process should provide those with all manner of experiences and strengths to make cases that suit their situations best.

Having the per-app compartments, recovery partition, or sudo-only memory is not going to help you if your text editor crashes, and loses all your documents. Or if photo app crashes and loses all the photos you ever had.

What you really want is some sort of generic "document" abstraction. So that user app can specify intent (read or write or update) and a document name, and system will enforce it. This way if your photo app gets damaged, the "blast radius" is limited only to the "documents" which are being edited now, which will hopefully be very close to zero. Hm.. I wonder what this sounds like? :)

(also: I used MS-DOS (with no memory protection, but with SMARTDRV disk cache) a lot, and crashed it a lot, often by my own code. The disk corruption was not that frequent at all. And in the worst case, you could often recover most of the data with NDD. The viruses and disk failures were far more common causes of data loss)
Think you are being overly pedantic with syntaxes here to warp my intended context. I did not care about the people, if not clear from my previous comment, that it was intended to raise attention to the idea of standardized testing being perceived as systematic racism, one which is obviously held by some people. It's to be construed as part of everyday speech, not witchhunting on the character of people believing in the said idea that standardized test is systematic racism.

The examples I added of standardized aptitude test for law school entry and the very real biases against Asians in American institutions requiring standardized testing quod erat demonstrandum was designed to set the context in which you are to understand the implicit spirit of the question (not the people rather the focus on standardized test = systematic racism).

Anything else you derived ad litteram to accuse me of malo animo by "moving the conversation away from systemic racism toward a debate about whether there are any other ways to measure aptitude for doing well" is exactly what you are doing here.

However, I am curious to hear what other possible scalable medium you think exists for an institution to properly vet millions of applicants every year and evaluate one's aptitude for law school that does not involve unbiased standardized testing that measures ability to think logically and work under timed pressure? Do you mean to say then that physically active professional sports must properly test a candidates aptitude from their understanding of game theory and physics through a written examination or is that somehow exempt from alternative means to detect aptitude? Shall law schools instead pit candidates in a simulated combat environment like Navy Seal's hell week to test their mental grit? Where does this end?

How does this constitute as systematic racism in your view when the test taker's scantron is measured against a pre-configured solution? Does the scantron system take account the race, socioeconomic background of the exam taker to invalidate and validate their exam responses at the time of scanning? Are test takers given penalties or extra time based on their demographic?

I agree with you on generalising based on what immediate colleagues are capable of or not. Indians in general have done quite well on the world stage. To answer your question from an Australian perspective, the interview processes here generally don't include many technical questions. Don't get me wrong. Some companies are almost like American companies and ask the candidates to even take home some tasks and come back with a solution.

But other enterprise companies generally have a look at the candidate's resume and hire them based on how they are able to answer questions related to their resume. It's sad to see such statements and also sad to see some incompetent people holding high position in many organisations. But it's not particular to Indians. I've come across such people from almost every background. I'm not very knowledgeable either. But I'm able to do my job well. :)

Edit: Having been living in Australia since several years now, I can understand AussieWog93's comment. I've also lived in India to know that such conversations are quite common in India too. It's just that Australians are willing to share it without hesitation. haha.. Don't be offended.
Who says it isn't? Being in a silly club hasn't worked as well as people think it does for quite a while now. Admissions see tons of this bullshit and I bet their eyes glaze over.
I'm sorry this happened to your son. It can be really disheartening for kids who work so hard.

Similar thing happened to my kid at University of California this year where test scores are also not even considered.

Wasn't as bad - they got into a 2nd tier UC so we are at least thankful for that.

> Several weeks ago, an EFF supporter brought her car to a mechanic, and found a mysterious device wired into her car under her driver's seat

If I saw this device under my seat I'd assume it was part of some electronic system and never touch it. The only thing that I'd see that would make me go "huh" would be CDMA – and even then I would probably assume it was part of my car's infotainment system like my old Saab's OnStar that used a Verizon 2G CDMA network that died before I purchased the car.

I have a pretty good mechanic as well, and unless I was complaining about a jammed seat adjustment, he wouldn't be down there to see. I wonder if he'd even be able to eyeball it as suspicious as he's an independent; who knows what kinds of things get hooked up below seats.

Assuming this part isn't narrative, kudos to those who found it. Now where should I go look?
TL;DR: Dealership installs GPS-based anti-theft device which is not active unless you pay for a subscription. Car is transferred to a different dealership who knows nothing about this whereupon it is sold to a customer who happens to be an EFF supporter. 29,000 miles later a mechanic discovers the device during routine maintenance. Hijinks ensue but it turns out to be much ado about nothing.

This thread is filled with people arguing false dichotomies: "test scores" vs. "fancy extra-curriculars" or "rich experiences" vs. "working class experiences."

I recently saw one child into college, and have another on the way. I've spoken to many admissions officers, counselors, and similar folks making admissions choices for public and private universities.

To a one, they all claim to be looking for two things: (1) students who will succeed at their university, and (2) a diverse range of students to avoid a monoculture.

This means they try to look at the "whole student." For some students, that means academics and test scores to show academic prowess. For others, it's working summers to pay for their college to show it's a personally meaningful step for them. For others, it's being a primary caregiver to siblings or parents while still meeting college requirements to show grit and determination. For others, it's demonstrating consistent progress in pursuing a passion (e.g., volunteering or music or art) with a trajectory that continues through college.

Admission officers say they want a student body comprised of all of the above, and that's how they get the diverse range of students to create a dynamic learning environment.

Some of the least interesting students are "box checkers" who have a bunch of disconnected extra-curriculars that don't show passion, direction, or a proclivity towards success. If a student defines "success" as "getting into college," then what will they do once they get there? Probably flounder.

Test scores can be a useful data point towards determining collegiate success, but it certainly won't be the only one used. Nor will extra-curriculars or any other single factor.

The single biggest piece of advice for any applying student: create a narrative that shows how your activities (whatever they are) demonstrate why you will be a successful student that achieves your major-related goals. Your grades, scores, work life, home life, interests, and personal experiences should all be connected to show you are thoughtful, motivated, driven, and have your shit together. Do that, and you'll have the best chance of success at most admissions offices.
>Beware of being penalized for trying. Is that a lesson you will teach your kids?

Life is going to teach it one way or another, and Picard's words stand even more true as I enter my 30's as they were back when I was an angsty 14YO just trying to stay with my friends before Mom's job forces her out of state... again. Took me a while to realize I wasn't being punished for not studying enough and that this was simply a factor of life I had no control over.
Doesn't that still call into question the quality of GPT-3? Surely such a large model should be able to extrapolate to "which is better: a or b?" from "is a better than b?" when only provided with the latter.
I disagree wit this.

WASM does not run on the same VM as javascript, or rather, that V8 happens to provide the facility for both, does not mean that much. They are effectively separate things. Now, if you mean to say there's some degree of interop via a chunk of memory between the two, then fine, but that's not particularly an advantage.

WASM is a bit different between browsers, it's not 'stable'.

That said, Applet/JVM are 'nowhere' these days and would require specific installation.

WASM is not 'faster to start' and it's not even 'fast' <-- this, and lack of clean interop is the worst thing about WASM. It's slow! If you combined the fact you have to go across an ugly 'bridge' between JS and WASM to do almost anything, it's probably not worth it for performance gains, and certainly comes with major dev. cost.

'Targeting more languages'? Really? Java, Swift, Python, Go - not really. You can target C++/C and Rust but only in very specific ways.

So the advantage for WASM would be 1) security for user, but in reality v8/JS is already secure 2) performance, but in most cases it's not true 3) 'hide your code' yes, this is nice for some algs. and 4) port your C++ algs to the browser like Photoshop/Autocad.

So far the reality is that it just doesn't fully add up.

Maybe some day.
Like what exactly? Much of this requires large scale policies. Without those, the lowering of demand lowers prices and allows others to increase their consumption. The vast majority people aren't going to voluntarily reduce their quality of living. Thus it will likely happen when the resources are expended and it's too late.
Sometimes, when you want to make something great, you cannot just be one person doing it, you need a team. You can often be a very creative person who implements their vision via a large group of people. It's essentially what a startup founder is. Many famous movie directors are similar also.

Why can't someone be the same as a manager too? When managers get rated at their annual perf review, vision is one of the things you are rated at.
It's not. Being well rounded is the ideal of the nobility in practically every settled culture, ancient or modern. It's the definition of "cultured". Having said that, it is a class marker, so participants of the dominant culture have a leg up.

> So, basically what Reddit does.

No, not at all. If Reddit were to adopt this model, then anyone could act as a moderator for any subreddit, publishing their modding decisions and letting everyone else opt in to applying those decisions to the posts and comments that they see.

I suspect that if someone's modding decisions could be ignored at the click of a button, there would be less temptation for them to abuse their power, and the role of moderator would no longer attract people who want to force their view onto others.
Or this tech founder isn't much of a salesperson. Sellers won't say "So you don’t think this product is useful?" and certainly won't be left speechless as OP was,

Common in people on a lot of medications.
WASP is White anglo saxon protosant and is to indicate that a "right" and "proper" person ought to know music and etc, but only in so much depth that it demonstrates there wealth. Which is how extra-curricular creep sometimes shows up when people apply to college and were President of X club and play Y sport, while not really having a deep interest in the activity. When you are treating an activity as a resume builder rather than an activity or experience to invest deeper in to me that shows a lack of intellectual curiousity (but does show a thought process of understanding procedualism and bureaucracy (not the students fault when its what the system values))
TEPCO, power plant operator for Tokyo area, also operator for the Fukushima 1 plants, is still not worth to trust for safety. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14446242 Also the F1 diseaster is due to the gov and TEPCO.

This is problem because they still have much amount of stopped nuclear plants like Kashiwazaki. IMO they should give their plants to other better companies. Some other power companies passed regulation and restarted some their nuclear plants.
Twitter is an outrage factory; almost everything about its design lends itself towards engagement via accelerating conflict.

I foresee that this sort of tool would encourage conflict within smaller communities that adopt its use, or cause them to evaporate in a flurry of mass blocking.
That sounds like it could be a one-time gain. Not something you compound by changing managers periodically.

I don't think it's fair to suggest that my use cases and priorities are less important than yours.

Maybe LibreOffice and GIMP are enough for you. They are not for me, especially in professional contexts where 90% similarity isn't the same as actually compatible, especially when I collaborate with other users and designers. And I actually appreciate the Creative Cloud subscription pricing, which is great for occasional users like me who can sub for a while and then cancel without having to spend thousands of dollars at a time. Software have network effects too, and I don't produce documents and graphics for my own gratification, but to satisfy team and client needs, and telling them "Oh, but it looks fine in LibreOffice, you need to use a real document standard and not some proprietary format" is not really an option. Maybe if you're Stallman and get to dictate the terms. I'm not. I need software that works with what other people use, and software that I can use to get jobs with employers that pay me in dollars and not ideals.

Maybe you don't care about anything but 1080p 16:9 displays. That's fine, but there are others who do. Whether for spreadsheets or vectors or photos, sometimes more pixels are better, and definitely having plug and play support for things like monitor brightness are nice too. It's fine if you don't care about any of that. You don't get to tell me what I care about. Shrug.

As for poor buying skills, eh, I'm perfectly happy running Linux on my phone and servers, Windows on my desktop, macOS on my laptop, and iOS on the iPad. And guess what, I don't even know or care what architecture my microwave runs on. I just don't feel the need to install Linux on everything. Each device has their specialty, whether that's cooking food or playing games or mobile apps or web dev or GIS.

I'm glad you like your Linux UI. I tried Ubuntu on a Yoga 2 a few years ago but didn't like it. To each their own, eh?

Has anyone ever said "tests fucked me over"? Yes, some people say that, but every time I meet one I see why they tested low. Being able to stay calm under pressure and complete a task on time, and preparing for that, are important life skills, on top of being technically capable.

Tests generate a lot of false positives, but they give false negatives less. If you fail you fail for a valid reason.
