It does in general, but what is elaborated and how? Structuring patterns is not the same as "knowledge" (there are missing subsystems), and that fed data is not fed efficiently, with ideal efficiency - compare with the realm in which "told one notion you acquire it" (this while CS is one of the disciplines focusing on optimization, so it would be a crucial point).

There’s no such thing as a limited supply of scientists, whose precious time is to be carefully allocated. For all I know, Wolfram might be creating new scientists from people who otherwise might not choose to pursue corrupt academia route.

"Quite a good summary for the entire clusterfuck that was the pandemic response. I still cant wrap my head about the utter spineless idiocy. You dont loose credibility by acknowledging you were wrong, you do so by lying to protect your image despite knowing better. You being wrong isnt dependent on you acknowledging it."

This statement applies to the WHO, and it applies equally to China, which will wear the shame of COVID for centuries. If China had been forthcoming from the start of the pandemic instead of obfuscating and frustrating every single attempt by the rest of the world to ascertain COVID's existence, its nature, and the risk it posed, China's role as COVID's origin would have been merely a footnote relegated to the introductory paragraph of all future histories written on the subject. Now, though, China will forever be remembered as the wannabe superpower that was so scared of the truth that it knowingly fucked over the rest of the world for more than 2 years. On top of that, the Chinese are so incompetent that the truth got out anyway. Great job, Xi.
It's a good thing he found them, I would hate for our reality to be a footnote in a lost manuscript.
It is kinda funny because exactly the same argument has been used by many to justify the sanctions against the Russian people. They point out that apparently 70% of the population supports the war and that this justifies punishing them for it, so I would say that this rhetoric mostly harms their own population.
It's not just keeping busy though ..., it's trying to avoid all of these shiny things that seem so important.

Not sure about specific German soldiers asking that specific question, but I've heard the anecdote from a couple books about the post-D Day U.S military operations towards Germany. It's plausible though; the U.S Army was by far the most mechanized of the war in Europe. Germany's massive "mobile army" during Barbarossa and during the Polish and French campaigns before that was something like 80% literal cavalry and only 15 or 20% mechanized (taking aside marching infantry). These percentages never changed much during the war for the Germans.

> Exhibit A: "This fact X is correct and we as institution C Org have institutional knowledge that makes us right and anything otherwise wrong".

I've noticed a pattern where people will take this as their default assumption, and even selectively read evidence to the contrary in order to maintain that assumption.

For example, a while ago on HN[1], someone posted this link[2] about a CDC announcement titled "CDC director says data 'suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus'". The claim was that the CDC director, Walensky, insisted that vaccinated people do not carry COVID and insisted that they were 90% protected against infection, and the CDC wouldn't walk back on those claims.

However, when reading the article, it shows that the assumption that the CDC was using Exhibit A's method in their announcement was wrong, and the CDC actually used the more reasonable method in your Exhibit B:

> Walensky was referring to a new CDC study of nearly 4,000 front-line workers, some vaccinated and some not, who tested themselves weekly for COVID-19 infections between December and March.

> But more data is still necessary to say so definitively, which is why researchers are recruiting thousands of college students across the country to find out more about the likelihood of asymptomatic spread of this virus among vaccinated people.

>>> At least one cooking show (Rick Stein in India) explored the "curry is just an indial dialect word for gravy" thing. And others have noted all the varietal restaurants of the sub-continent in the UK appear to depend on Bangladeshi cooks,

Just one cooking show does not prove anything. Curry is not an "indial dialect word for gravy". Some curries maybe gravy-like, but others may not be.

Also Bangladesh was partitioned off from India, so food culture is common between India, Bangladesh and pakistan
I love this. There is something eerie about concrete results in computation and math that makes it hard for me to sleep at night.

It's like we're discovering the speed of light in a non-physical universe, placing limits and boundaries on logic itself. Though this is less of a boundary and more of a door, it's no less concrete.
Yeah that's what I meant: 1% of engineers might be doing the most impactful work, but all of them have a claim to potentially being that engineer.
Yeah. The dude is a Grade-A asshole. His site is complete garbage, yet he insists that it's amazing. I've never seen someone so confidently wrong in every single reply to criticism ever.
Yeah didn’t see anything about timeouts or body size limits.. is a good question. Lambda + apigw vs invoke vs alb vs the rest having different limits has got me a few times.
Well noted! Explicitly: where does such database come from?
I like it a lot! Very clean. Two observations:

There's a rather large blank space at the top, occupying significant vertical space. Since vertical space is most precious on all screen orientations, I'd consider cutting it.

The art on the 'visual' page looks very interesting, but clicking on them does nothing. At least make them links to the images themselves. The two with school buses are my favorites. I'd move them to the top to make the best first impression (though this is of course subjective! Place your best works first).
There is another blog post coming up in a couple of weeks (hopefully) that will demo this.

IME no company you will ever interview at will care about this.
I recommend his Lex Friedman interviews on youtube. I've been reading and listening to Wolfram for some time and Lex manages to somehow get the most out of him.

The ego is annoying and personally I don't think that New Kind of Science is very high in information density (may be my ignorance), but Wolfram definitely has many many great insights to offer if you are able to just ignore the remarks about him being the first in the world that did that 30 years ago in computer science, physics and biology.

He did and keeps doing amazing things that are indeed much ahead of the competition.

This is not a new pattern, I've posted this link before HN but I want to repeat it so many times [1] - we are standing on shoulders of jerks (I do not think Wolfram is a jerk btw, but people clearly have some problem with his way of being)

I disagree with this traditional pedagogical approach. Learning is much easier when motivated by a complex problem to solve that requires learning and applying multiple "building block" concepts. Start big, then learn small.
While I think that you are right, but the right level of abstraction is super important. Here teachers should try to look at the business relevant applications. In university we had one course on databases. This was introduced by means of formal relational databases and relational algebra. Most of the students explained the stuff to each other by working with the more concrete translation in SQL. So if you had problems understanding what the restriction operation (σ) did, somebody told you that it maps to a SELECT in SQL.

Nothing is wrong with this at all. I never wrote nor even implied there was anything wrong with this.

The problem with many people today, is that their only measure of success is whether they are a success in the eyes of others, often strangers or people they don't even care about.

Find out what you really want, don't care what others think. This way it's much more realistic to have success, and you will probably also be much happier. I don't think many would want to be a CEO if they didn't care what others think.
The tsunami was the secondary cause, and believing that no-one could predict such a tsunami is misleading.

Proof: another nuclear plant was less distant from the tsunami and survived, because someone (Y. Hirai) foresaw it and could impose his views:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onagawa_Nuclear_Power_Plant#20...

The hard truth is: even a predictable cause can trigger a disaster. And many aren't predictable.

Fukushima is by many criteria a "lucky" case, as many reactors were properly shutdown when the wave came, operators reacted globally adequately...

The question isn't "is a disaster possible?" but "when, and of which magnitude?".

This patently insufficient ability to foresee also sheds a light towards the "we know that dangerous nuclear waste will not be a problem for anyone during the next 100000 years or so".

Renewables can do the trick without all those threats.

Sorry to hear that!

Folks like you who are passionate and have an innate strong work ethic are worth their weight in gold, and need to be nurtured and protected from burnout by their managers and peers.

I've been on both sides of this equation. As a consultant with my own business I've done stints of 80+ hour work weeks, wrestled RSI and flirted with the edge of burnout. I've also managed teams with superstars sprinkled in who take on visceral ownership of a project, working to the goal not the clock and doing whatever needs to be done to achieve success. Some here will criticize that as an artifact of poor management / corporate culture, but in my experience different people have different priorities in life and some come with a very strong professional drive and crave the opportunity to outperform. There's an incredible multiplier effect that can raise the productivity of the whole team. But if they're underappreciated, taken for granted, or blindly loaded up with ever-increasing responsibilities as you described it's disastrous. I liken it to using a rare, hand-crafted sports car to haul manure then leaving it out in the rain to rust.

I've learned how crucial it is to stay keyed in to the pulse of your team. Communication is key (simple questions like "How's your workload?", and paying attention if someone who's usually cheerful seems agitated or irritable). At times I've had to force reports to take a few days off in between cycles to regenerate and make sure they stay fresh.

Have also spent some years volunteering in emergency services, and watching ordinary humans placed in high-pressure situations you gain an appreciation for mental health and not being cavalier about it.

I hope your activities playing with those new technologies you mentioned rekindles that spark of wonder which first led you into tech, and you land a career with an employer who knows how to take care of their people. Look forward not back, you've still got years of professional opportunity ahead of you if that's where your desires lay.

This is what I would consider a significant measure of success - people wanting to talk to you (assuming they're actual messages, and not robocall spam). Whether they're from friends who want to chat, contacts who want to work with you, or just random updates about interesting things that for some reason someone thinks you should know about, having people out there think about you enough to fire up the dialler on their phone and try to reach you is pretty cool. There are so many other things they could be thinking about.

The beginning of the article mentions a few examples of distractions. So much of the modern web is developed by people who've made a scientific study out of gaming your emotions and vying for your attention.

Focus is a priceless resource.

I mean, I studied maths and physics at uni. My recollection is that science is littered with things named after specific people when in actual fact multiple people put in hours and hours of work to making these discoveries. But only one name gets slapped on it.

‘Maxwell’s’ equations are a great example. Calculus is also a prime example (d/dx f(x) vs f’(x)). I’m pretty sure Gauss was a fantastic mathematician, but too much is named after him and a lot of recognition taken away from others who greatly contributed.

It’s not a new phenomena. I don’t think it’s great for things to be named after specific people at any point history, but it’s happened before and it’ll continue to happen.
New puppy's behavior is easily confused as such.

It's closer to the truth that we're probably just not supposed to live this way.
I always find it worrying how companies and institutions completely disregard advances in psychological findings. How can anyone in good faith develop a social network after knowing this concrete reality of human connection capacity? How can anyone in good faith defend massive amounts of wealth when phenomena related to hedonic adaptation clearly exist? How can anyone in good faith make their company public after more than 100 years of seeing shareholders take control of the original vision guided by a poor understanding of what a stock's value means (clear example of a metric turned target)?

Humans have always been the same, both in their individual and group form, and good leaders from 4000 years ago would fare just as well today if given the right context. Ignoring the history of human behavior means actively disregarding the most powerful tool to understand what stuff works for us and what doesn't. We are forgetting that the vast majority of our activities involves other humans, and 100% of what we do involves ourselves. When creating technology used by groups of people or when making up policies we should be more careful about shaping it from a behavioral point of view rather than a purely technical one. If Facebook was designed from a more human perspective and the like button functioned 38% of the times we would be in a much better state than the like button being formally proven to always work and social interactions working 38% of the time
We live in such bizarre time, things that technology already solved in the past is now considered innovative.
