This is very much a part of a larger pattern. See, for example, Andrew Gelman's blog: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/. He is as close to an expert in bad studies as there exists. Just scroll down, there will be many examples every week.

Here's for example a second most recent post: The journal Public Choice goes the way of Lancet and publishes a paper that is “riddled with errors” but comes to a political conclusion that they want to support. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2022/04/03/the-journa...

Replication crisis in social science is a very real thing, and it's not a problem with a few odd studies: at this point, at least double digit percentage, if not outright majority of studies in social sciences, are simply untrue.

Here's, for example, a quiz https://80000hours.org/psychology-replication-quiz/, based on a study published in Nature ( https://www.nature.com/collections/nfkchhxllx ), which tried to replicate some 21 experimental studies published in Nature or Science in a few previous years. These were not some crappy papers published in pay-to-publish journals: Nature and Science are the top journals, as high quality as you can get. Still, only barely over a half of the studies replicated! In less renowned journals, the ratio must be even worse.

I really appreciate endeavors like this, but...

My experience with many other frameworks is that they really help you get started quickly, and some of them truly cover a vast majority of common use cases. But when you reach a point of need or situation where they don't work the way you want, you must then learn how to work around them or enhance them.

That usually means doing a lot of digging and learning, essentially repaying that early time gift you received from all the nice built-ins.

This should be a pretty familiar scenario for many of us here, and perhaps some have experienced this with RedwoodJS. If so, how do you feel about the framework now? How was the workaround/change-behavior experience?
Here's my old man manual to life at work.

Show up and do the work, consistently. Just this basic discipline puts you in the top 20% of performers, everywhere.

Make your superiors look good and in any case, not bad. They don't care what you do for as long as you do this. This does not require sucking up, just deliver.

Be reliable. Deliver on promises, likewise do not commit to a promise you can't fulfill and explain why. When you mess up, admit it and fix it.

Avoid politics, divisions, conflicts that put you in a camp. You have no opinion, or a very boring neutral one. Rather than share more than you know, share less than you know. Don't smear colleagues, even if they deserve it.

Do all of the above humbly and silently. It will get noticed. You'll be perceived a solid no-nonsense drama free worker that gets shit done. You don't even need to ask for opportunities because they will find their way to you.

Because you get things done.

To me living an honest life is feeding my family which I'll always do or I'll die trying. I refuse to do work that harms society, but other than that I'll gladly tell whoever in the office anything they want to hear if "that's how it works".
It is missing Ethernet, which seems to be important to the author.

Having heard positive things about caldigit, I got their USB-C Pro Dock and I get frequent screen blanking with my M1 Mac, and often some of the USB ports fail to work. I don't use the ethernet port, but I think it is a Realtek (so likely the same thing the author is complaining about)

I have spoken to caldigit support and so far they have replaced the dock once, and now have gone pretty quiet.
not a single super large language model has beaten the state of the art in the key NLP tasks (POS tag, dep tag, coreference, wsd, ner, etc)
They are always only used for higher level tasks, which is tragic.
This is not the conclusion.

the Dell TB16 is just about the worst docking station I've ever used and that was Thunderbolt 3, and their USB-C equivalent (WD16 iirc) worked flawlessly.

Likely if you tore down the TB16 you would find the chip mentioned in TFA.
Just to expand on this: I suspect and have been told that almost all powertools follow this model. The markup for most tools in the same class is essentially branding only.
Good to see you again Victor!
He does not even have to move an openly hostile country, better if he doesn't, Any country in south america or africa would bend over backwards to get his companies. Imagine the economic boom those countries would experience via trade with a space faring nation.
The downside is all of the hardware ends up inside the laptop where you still pay for it and now can't upgrade it separately or reuse it with another laptop. Not that I ever remember Dell/Lenovo docks being $30 new anyways.
Windows 10 Pro works fine with an offline account.
A note on Blackmagic hardware in general (including the ATEM switches)- they tend to only work with signals that are fully compliant with broadcast standards. For example, I have some Cisco HD PTZ cameras with a "raw" HDMI output that sends 1080p30 or 1080p60, but there's some wacky difference in the colorspace they output such that my Atomos recorder and Blackmagic capture devices only lock sync when the video level (brightness) of the scene overall is low, such as when you put your hand over the camera. The same cameras work fine with the $25 generic USB capture devices, as well as with the Avermedia BU110 which should be a "true" uncompressed USB3 HDMI capture device (that recently was marked down to $60).
> Seems pretty nice.

Never said it's not. I'm just saying it's nice to have type narrowing everywhere since it includes block based switching/matching as well (what you're arguging is nice, which I'd agree)

You'll have to use your imagination here because in typescript narrowing works on all conditionals (ternaries, boolean switches, etc), so naturally there are many more examples where it's useful. It's easy to trivialize any specific example.

E.g. they're useful in JSX when you want to do a one-line type-safe boolean switches like: {node && <RenderNode node={node}/>}.
I keep wondering if there might be some value in a derivative high-efficiently USB-C PD standard (since distance, and other factors come in) for whole house. IE, could you add DC power via USB connections to a bunch of different devices with a high-efficiency power supply for all of the different connections, rather then having low-efficiency power supplies in lots of other devices?
The comment I responded to was about tracking the person. A person's viewing history is different from their automobile being reported in a public place.

Contra the point of this thread, Google actually prevents me from getting basically any spam calls.

With the combination of Google Fi and Pixel, I receive very few spam calls. Almost all of them are automatically screened, the phone never rings, and I'm left with a "spam notification," with a transcript of the call asking me to extend my warranty.

Similarly, essentially all spam text messages are identified as spam, and generate only a silent notification.

For the few spam calls that slip through, it's one click to screen the call with Google Assistant.

No one, that's why we need antitrust to break up monopolies and decentralize power.
Well, that's why I say I'm torn. I really do think this is cool, but when you compare it to hand-made assets the two would look starkly different. My biggest gripe is with the lighting: if you look at the creases of the couch, you can see that the lighting is literally "baked" in to the model. Shadows are rendered by the texture instead of the lighting engine, which means the models will appear static if you use them in a dynamically lit environment. Worse yet is the fact that these "shadows" can actually reflect light since the model has no reflection mapping or light mapping to tell the renderer that the shadows are rough as opposed to glossy. That gives the model the aforementioned "toy look" that I brought up earlier.

It's still quite cool, but asset capture has a long ways to go (even if everyone's results are this good).
He already has permission to launch his rockets. Or he can just move the company to another country. Once the colony is established and has reached a certain size its probably inevitable. At that point what is the US going to do? Nuke the colonies to prevent independence? Figure out a way to load 100's of marines onto rockets and send them to mars? Starve the colonies? I very much doubt any of those things happen. As soon as a colony is established I think the path to independence begins.
I don't have anything against Redwood per se but I find the collage of those technologies (personally) unappealing.

Looks to me what it is: a "safe", as in common, meshed stack for new teams to develop mvps.

But nothing of Redwood makes me think, "this is the missing piece I was waiting for" as I've worked with most of this stack in various combinations and I think it's a stack that's getting old and is not scaling or getting much better with time.

I recognised it immediately as a Melbournian who has had colleagues from Queensland.

Over there, when a friend needs help they'll help them. Over here, when a friend needs help we'll take them out to brunch and "be there for them if you need us".

>It tends to be used by the right to describe the entire left - as virtue signaling, caring-about-optics, overly politically-correct, social justice warriors. But the people who are using these characterizations are not themselves fighting for meaningful change. They're using this exclusively to criticize caring or small incremental progress forward.

I lean somewhat conservative and can assure you that this take is plain wrong. Most of the reaction to political correctness is a reaction to the isolation/injustice that some people's feelings matter, and others (straight white males) don't - that some people's success should be celebrated, and others (again, straight white males) booed.

We had a similar experience when living in NY with two small children. People would always offer to help, but one time in particular a woman grabbed the front of the stroller and started helping me down the subway stairs, then she looked back and said "Could you please go faster, I'm running late". She was in no obligation to help us in the first place. We got to the bottom and she ran off to a train.

I found New Yorkers are always happy to lend a hand when needed.
I feel like I’ve been at more companies than you and I started in 2013. The fuck.

The game is about presenting an image that doesn’t actually exist. It’s about not acknowledging your manager is a toxic piece of shit and your company is completely broken and will likely be bankrupt in a few years while execs milk every ounce from it. It’s about faking positivity and that you’re so excited to join the company because it’s so amazing and definitely not because your previous employer is horrible. It’s about lying about past accomplishments because everyone does this in interviews so you need to stand out and seem just as good or better.

It’s about knowing that the other side is doing this too and you’re not the only one lying. You get lied to during interviews, you get lied to during onboarding, you get lied to during 1:1s, you get lied to during performance reviews, and you get lied to when leaving the company. You get lied to about why you’re building the product you are. You get lied to about why we chose an architecture. You get lied to about why you didn’t get something but someone else did. (But better - you don’t ask. You play the game. You lie about knowing)

It’s about acknowledging that work involved a heavy amount of lying from all sides and being honest - while noble - will not get you far in this industry. Especially in SV where lying is king. Where lying is renamed as “aspirational” speaking. Etc.
Kinda sorta. My understanding is that he maintains a situation where everyone in power is dirty and you must be demonstrably dirty to get close to the levers of power. That shared guilt helps keep the ruling clique together. Add to that the very real threat of assassination, and it seems pretty airtight.

Your idea has the flaw that the leak would be damaging if done, and sometimes people are willing to take action at suicidal personal cost.

I think the top-level comment ("Might his squadron be called in to quash civil disturbance? Sent to the next Iraq? Is it reserved for defending the UK from invasion?") is exactly the kind of thing you should ask yourself when joining something like the Army Reserves. Everyone has some things they will not do, and it's important to figure out what those might be before finding yourself pushed to those limits.

The thoughtless comments basically express the idea that no one should be in any military, whereas thoughtful questions acknowledge that not everyone has the same red lines.
> I appear to be paying a lot of money for products that I could buy for cheap on random websites is starting to piss me off a bit at this point.

> Realtek RTL8153

Could the Realtek issues be related to power?

I have a Tbolt dock which is powered using a DC barrel jack (6.5amps @ 20V). The comparison is not great as the dock (TBT3-UDZ) is not a USB C dock and uses the Intel i211 nic.

The author appears to have found stability with the Anker PowerExpand 8-in-1, which has the buck converter with power management components.

I've had terrible experiences with the Satechi Multiport Adapter V2 and ICY BOX USB-C type adapters.

I suspect that the issues can typically narrow down with any dock to bandwidth or power.

I'd like to share my response here:

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my concerns with the tech industry, and to urge you to vote for the Open App Markets Act and American Innovation and Choice Act.

I am a software engineer at a Silicon Valley startup company, and a lifelong member of Silicon Valley startup culture. Nearly every job I have ever had has been at some type of startup, and have worked on projects in health care, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence. I am no crank or Luddite.

Over my life I have watched Silicon Valley become less and less about genuine innovation and more about cynical plays for money and power, with the aesthetics of innovation providing a fig leaf - carpet baggers in black turtle necks. For many, the goal is no longer to create winning products that create new industries. The goal is to lure people and businesses into walled gardens, and to trap them there.

We see this in the rise of so-called Platform Capitalism. Platform Capitalism is a threat to consumer choice and freedom, and a threat to small businesses; it is a new form of monopolizing tactic. Under the guise of creating a space for innovation and competition, individual users and businesses alike are lured on to the platform, where they are subject to all manner of abuses.

App stores charge exorbitant rates (as much as 30%) to process transactions; many feel credit card transaction fees are too rich at 1 to 3%.

These companies often compete on their own platforms, creating stupefying conflicts of interest. Amazon is particularly egregious, illegally using market data to select their Amazon Basics products. This is a betrayal of the small business owners who entrusted Amazon with their livelihood.

I once again urge you to vote for the Open App Markets Act and American Innovation and Choice Act.

Thank you for your time and public service.
I'm reminded of the musical Into the Woods, which makes this kind of distinction one of its central themes, as particularly embodied by the witch ("I'm not nice, I'm not good, I'm just right"). One of the songs is focused on her confrontation with the musical's set of other fairy-tale characters about how they care more about being "nice" (that is, saving face and not feeling morally culpable about anything) than about either being "good" (taking morally correct actions and accepting personal suffering in the process) or being "right" (fixing the kingdom's major ongoing crisis, whatever the cost).

I stew on this idea all the time and conclude that only scale (lots of users?) would make this effective. But then I ponder the remedy itself being wielded against legitimate parties and I get slightly sad and move on to something else to worry about.
At my last job, I used the interview (with HR, not my manager) to do something I didn't have the power to do before: Call out my bad manager! When HR found out what had transpired, they were horrified. Later on I found out that my manager got into some hot water over the ordeal. Good. Whatever needed to happen to make things easier on the next person. I didn't have anything personal against the manager, but one can only be isolated and put on Ignore for so long.
"I think for the reality of this case it has to do with the law as it existed at the time of the accident."

I agree, that's true. However, for us on here, it can be beneficial to discuss the merits and potential changes of the law. It makes for interesting conversation about the law and how it could be better. After all, if we're strictly limited to the case there's no point in any of this discussion since we aren't the ones involved in it or deciding it.

You mention "dangerous" several times. We would need to define that. I'm sure there's some case law on that somewhere. My guess is it's highly debated and variable based on the circumstances of the case and opinions of the judge/jury. Especially when it comes to where the line is drawn on acceptable level of danger. This would also need to investigate contributory negligence. For example, the sidewalk may have been safe for the legal uses of the sidewalk but dangerous for the illegal use of scooters.

You also mentioned zoning. This is great! Most city codes require specific upkeep and allow for some variance. For example, some localities allow for a half inch difference in height of two adjacent pavings. I didn't see any pictures or measurements in the article, nor mention of the city's sidewalk code. But this is a highly pertinent area to investigate.
By that definition, many (maybe most) languages then already support flow typing.
For the Ethernet I enjoyed the fact the dock was clean and unopinionated, just providing USB ports so I could use a USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter.

Your comments about the Screen Blanking sound bad and are are likely correct, I only have an Intel Mac to compare.
If you can atomize garbage it'd be useful as reaction mass for some space transport - one step closer to Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future.
> and subsidies disappear quickly with any amount of AGI.

This has not been true for 2021 and is not true for 2022.

Your payments for health insurance are limited by a cap that is hard to explain, but basically, you should not be paying more than 8.5% of your AGI for the 2nd most expensive silver plan in your state.

I (self-employed) have an AGI in the mid-100k range, and these subsidies more or less reduced my wife and my insurance payments by half.

This system still sucks - we are paying private corporations, via government subsidy, for their overpriced goods and services. But from a numerical perspective, it's much closer to being inline with most of the rest of the industrialized world: 8-14% of income for health insurance that covers most stuff.

And in all likelihood, Congress will not renew it at the end of this year.
This exemplifies the issues I see with a lot of this stuff.

The other day, I was looking at TB4 hubs, and noticed that Every. Single. One. had the exact same layout of ports, with different cases around them. The price range was damn wide, too.

The different one was CalDigit. That does seem to be a good company; though pricey.

> Nearly 300,000 families also had their trajectories changed because their loved ones died.

What are you referring to here? 300,000 is a specific number and you qualify it with "because their loved ones died". Let's assume you're talking about active military deaths, which are less than 100,000 since 1945 [1], the vast majority of which is Vietnam and Korea.

Up until the Vietnam War, the draft was a significant factor. That's not really a factor because you have no control over it.

You'll also note that my comment was specifically about the Air Force Guard and Reserve. Your chances of getting deployed to a war zone and dying are incredibly low and so many roles aren't active combat anyway. Unlike active service you enlist ofr a particular job. If you sign up to do logistics in Ohio. your risks are pretty low.

I slightly object to the idea that the East Coast brusqueness should be interpreted as less "nice." If we're mapping "kindness" to "actually solving real problems" and "niceness" to "being polite about things" -- politeness is a cultural idea.

Like if I'm at the grocery store and I strike up a long "polite conversation" with the cashier, I'm actually kind of being a dick to everybody behind me in line, by slowing things down. And it seems rude to me, that I should impose upon the cashier to make them pretend to be my friend. They are working and I'll respect that by letting them focus on their job.

Speeding things up for the people behind me and keeping the professional boundaries in place aren't some sort of deep difference in the problem-solving philosophy. This is just basically a different way of looking at politeness that emphasizes getting out of the way.
