Control theory has a very, very long parallel history alongside ML. ML, specifically probabilistic and reinforcement learning, uses a lot of dynamic programming ideas and Bellman equations in its theoretical modeling. Lookup the term cybernetics, it is an old term in the pre-internet era to mean control theory and optimization. The Soviets even had a grand scheme to build networked factories that could be centrally optimized and resource allocated. Their Slavic communist AWS-meets-Walmart efforts spawned a Nobel laureate; Kantorovich was given the award for inventing linear programming.

Unfortunately the CS field is only just rediscovering control theory while it has been a staple of EE for years. However, there haven't been many new innovations in the field until recently when ML became the
new hottest thing.
This is an interesting point of view. I don't know enough about their relationship to know whether that's what was going on. But, I do want to point out something else in your comment:

> She now has to wash and put away the glass.

No she doesn't. She can just leave it there. She can leave her own glasses there, too.

The pressure to keep the counter clean isn't coming from the husband. He doesn't give a damn how many dishes are on the counter. It's coming from an expectation of femininity that she's internalized: "a wife is supposed to keep the counter free of dishes". The husband isn't helping her meet this expectation, but he isn't imposing the expectation on her, either.

I'm not married, but I see this theme in a lot of fights over household chores: it's not that the husband expects his wife to do all the chores, it's that he doesn't actually believe the chores need to be done.
I'm not trying to argue against old people riding bicycles or for anyone to take away their agency without cause, just pushing back on the idea that the only risk old people might face is premature death so what me worry.

An 80 year old has much higher odds of becoming bedridden from any given fall than an average 20 year old.
Which is another way of saying that trade that might be either can't even be effectively policed by the dystopian state if they want to use it for evading sanctions to the extent they're able without simultaneously shooting themselves in the foot.

If they can't police it effectively all the more reason for more people to do it.
Indeed using Bitcoin for payment does not seem a good fit. However, Bitcoin could be viewed as the world reserve currency that is impossible to debase. This can give stability to all other currencies that are based on it. I think that would be a good thing. It would reduce governments' ability to deficit spend, thus reduce the likelihood of financing armies that can be used for aggression... It would not eliminate wars entirely, but would make financing them very difficult.

Unfortunately, scammers are everywhere. I think it is my responsibility to do the best I can to avoid falling for various schemes. I hold that Bitcoin is not the cause of the scams. I unfortunately missed the early days of Bitcoin because I was concerned about being robbed and secondarily I did not understand (or even known about) the intent Satoshi had when he invented the thing...

Thank you for your feedback!
If the title had been “Tesla glitched at 83mph” it would have been exactly right and not less scary sounding.
Pretty much every vehicle except maybe some heavy trucks with really, really, really deep first gears has brakes that can over-power everything else.

This should be obvious when you think about what % of brake force it takes to break traction vs what percent of engine power it takes.

You say you wouldn't want to use this simplified phone-based video editing tools for serious work, but there is an entire industry's worth of livelihoods being made on TikTok and Instagram using these very editing tools. Not saying this to knock down your point or anything, just highlighting the fact that these tools have actually become good enough (sure, no one is editing feature-length Hollywood movies using them) to be qualified as "serious work".
Couldn't have ever said it better myself. That is exactly how I feel and what I believe I'm seeing in the country. Fuck it... Drink paint. I don't have the energy to fight a culture war. I'm vaxxed, my friends that have radically different views that I find really offensive. Fuck it. I hope I can help keep them safe and I hope they are doing things in a way that they think keeps me safe. I do not want to fight my neighbor, I'm so tired, the world is so messed up. I want to make art and do business and just enjoy the time I have when I have it with the least amount of war I can experience.

Would definitely be interested in an article like that if you decide to write it
I think maybe we're defining self-criticism differently. From a paper from Clinical Psychology Review in 2020[0]:

> Self-criticism is defined as the tendency to engage in negative self-evaluation that results in feelings of worthlessness, failure, and guilt when expectations are not met

I see that quite a few other results in the DuckDuckGo search define self-criticism similarly, which doesn't sound so different from self-hatred. Psychology Today defines it as[1]:

> Self-hatred encompasses continual feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and low self-esteem. People may constantly compare themselves to others, perceive only the negative and ignore the positive, and believe that they will never be "good enough." But every single person has worth and value—and the ability to cultivate self-love.

So maybe I can see a difference in these definitions as self-criticism being the act of attacking oneself whereas self-hatred is thinking the one is worthy of attack? I don't know.

However, I think you may be defining it more along the lines of looking at one's behaviors and trying to be very honest about the impacts of those behaviors, almost a systems thinking approach. "I do X, and Y seems to happen every time I do X, and I don't want Y to happen, so maybe I should do Z instead and see what happens" or something along those lines. This seems more in line with how this LifeHack article defines it[2]:

> It is easy to hear the term “self-critical” and be immediately put off. After all, it’s difficult to be our own critics. However, utilizing self-criticism means taking a more self-aware path to ensure that you aren’t overlooking any possible areas of self-improvement.

> Self-criticism affects your self-esteem and can be a useful tool to identify patterns of weakness that you can look to eradicate by adapting your behavior.

I don't define self-criticism as such, I think it often involves labeling a behavior or more likely, myself, as good or bad, with a tendency towards bad. I struggle to think of "positive self-criticism," and so think that most self-criticism seems to be "You're stupid. What you did was idiotic. You're such a bad person," etc.

If I were to define self-criticism similar to how I think you may be defining it, in terms of taking a more detached approach to honestly reflect on one's behavior and how it may cause harm to oneself or others, then I agree with what you said. I'm just guessing many people don't define it that way.

I'm curious to hear how you define self-criticism and self-hatred and maybe some examples of what they look like to you. I also recognize this thread has become very long and maybe you don't want to reply anymore, and that's OK with me, too. I'm grateful you came this long with me and helped me explore this more.

I read the article and felt sad. There's a lot of emotionally charged language (repeatedly: "I was a shitty husband"), but stripping away that language, his main point is consistent with his Atlantic article. Namely, that while he tried to be a good husband for the 'big issues' (e.g. never cheating), he was neglectful for the little things, and didn't give her enough attention or care.

My interpretation is that the divorce was somewhat unexpected as there were no major issues besides the 'little things,' but he largely feels that the divorce was out of his locus of control. He's then compensating to assert that it really was in his control, and also severely criticizing himself with emotionally charged language for letting the divorce happen.

Given the information at the time, I don't think the divorce was avoidable. If anything, the ex-spouse at least has an iota responsibility to identify the feelings of neglect, rather than pointing out the neglectful habits without reflecting on why she was so bothered them.

It would be healthiest for him to let it go, and find happiness elsewhere in life (e.g. with another partner and pursuit) and move on as much as possible (though it's hard as he has a kid). It's hard to see him really make the divorce part of his identity, the point where he publishes a book about it, writes in The Atlantic, and even offers divorce counseling services at the end.
Coinbase definitely doesn't keep all their funds in a hot wallet. They keep enough readily accessible to cover the projected volume of withdrawals; the rest can be kept offline. They even specifically offer a "vault" service for managed cold storage.

When you put in a sell order through the normal "retail" interface you're trading with Coinbase itself. Those coins can stay offline in cold storage, as they're just moving numbers around in their database, off-chain. Only withdrawals and periodic internal rebalancing operations (making up for an imbalance between buys & sells) strictly require online access to the keys, and those only affect a small part of the total.

Doesn't sound nearly as fantastical but bad RAM is probably more common than one would expect. You seldom really know the quality of hardware you run on. Just say'n, sometimes you don't need a helping cosmic ray.
Wow, so the mechanics failed but the electrical part still worked. That's pretty shocking, it should have been the other way around every time. I'm trying to think of how the brake system could have been designed that this would even be possible, the only thing that I can imagine is that a dual piston master cylinder had one of the pistons freeze solid so that the whole system failed to move. But that should be pretty much impossible.

One of the disadvantages of regenerative brakes is that if you use them well that you will end up using your hydraulic brakes less than normal which can cause the pistons to seize (and which is an expensive repair if they don't free up by themselves), did the brakes function normally prior to this or did you not use them for a long time?

Check out if you can disable the mic in Audio MIDI Setup on Mac OS X. I tend to use the built in webcam so I’ve never looked on an external one, but in theory you should be able to selectively disable the input/output of any device via its interface. I do this to disable the mic on Work equipment and use my own AirPods as the mic input.
Source on that statement? Considering they’re the leading pharmaceutical treatment, the burden is on you to prove that claim
I'm pretty sure people absolutely do get divorced because they disagree about how to handle several trivial things.

Those can be insidious. To the one annoyed by the status quo, it can feel like the other person doesn't care about them. To the other, it can feel like their partner's trying to micro-manage a bunch of little things that barely even matter, and that they're "losing" because they find fewer of their partner's habits irritating enough to make a stink over.
Listen to human experiences. If someone tells you they are experiencing something, they are experiencing it.
I have been playing with alternative ways to do machine learning on and off for a few years now. Some experiments went very well.

I read this and feel like I'm the bad guy and I don't understand how.

I'm the breadwinner. I pay 100% of the bills, excluding the 'I went to buy potato chips and ice cream'

I WFH so I also tend to do the majority of chores. Which when I get burnt out or get sick I don't get as many chores done and the house goes to shit. Only ending up punishing myself really.

I also have to 100% of the time decide what's for dinner and either order or cook it. My partner's incapable of making decisions.

My areas of the house(my office for example) are kept orderly and clean. I try my best to keep the rest of the house clean.

But when I leave a pot on the stove over night, I'll hear about it.

I think it really depends on how you define the word "nice".

On a personal level everyone here (outside of Steve Jobs lol) might be great. I remember when Jeff left senior people who knew him from Amazon seemed genuinely upset, and also left. Tons of photos of people having a good time, drinking and hanging out etc. For all of Zuck's problems he seems more awkward than actively malicious, and lots of his worst quotes come from when he was much younger and immature. So on a personal basis I don't think it's required to be an asshole in order to be successful at this level.

From a leadership perspective someone who is "nice" to the point of being a doormat isn't going to last long in any leadership position. Needing to reach a consensus on every decision or defaulting to the decision that causes the least amount of short term pain just means you're not going to be a leader for very long.

Businesses are dictatorships at the end of the day, and they're constantly in a state of conflict. I think at a CEO level you're going to end up with people who are at the very least willing to be disagreeable, because you need to put your foot down and tell everyone no at some point. "nice" CEOs probably get filtered out b/c they're unwilling to do things like layoff people.

I don't think nice guys finish last per se, because this level of wealth comes with it's own problems. (e.g. How many of these dudes have been divorced...)

Politics are a whole different animal, I'd argue it's much more zero sum than business. Only so many seats after all.

No, the poster I'm replying to is obsessively making guesses about who I am as a person, rather than commenting on the subject at hand. They've made a series of guesses. They guessed that I work and appealed to my identity rather than form a meaningful argument. After discovering that I don't work, they made a series of other inaccurate guesses about my economic background.

This is objectively regrettable. It's fallacious argumentation and in fact is against the rules of this forum.

My response is addressing these disgusting tactics. In contrast, I've said nothing about who this person is as an individual -- because it's irrelevant.
it is true that a lot of mainstream media outlets that people consider "probably biased but overall trustworthy" just regurgitate talking points from the State Department, law enforcement, etc as fact.

One only needs to read the CIA's Wikipedia page or the CIA's own website to understand how embarrassing of a failure of thought and journalism it is to trust these institutions
Yes this is classic human psychology.

I did a bad thing - well I didn't intend to do it, so I'm still good/right.

Someone else did a bad thing - they are a bad person.

I should be measured by my intents, not my actions or outcomes.

Others should be measured by their outcomes, because thats obviously what they intended.
Not sure which computers you mean, or what you mean by "industrial grade," so possibly I'm off-target, but cars could happily have some less reliable computers, for example in the entertainment center. Even stuff like high-level navigation could be run on the entertainment center level computers -- if google maps crashes, it shouldn't cause a human operated car to crash, and a thoughtfully designed "autopilot" system should mimic that split. No idea if the Tesla autopilot system is thoughtfully designed though.
Just about anyone would be better.

Free Software is first and foremost a political movement. It would be better to have someone at the helm who isn't totally inept at navigating media and politics.

Entropy. You cannot look at a system purely from an energy conservation stand point. Take Carnot efficiency for instance. That’s the extreme case where it teeters on the fully recoverable entropy. For your example, the entropy price has to be paid somewhere in the system (usually in the heat to work ratio).
May be a bit extreme comment but not completely nonsensical. It is raising somewhat valid point.

Currently Russian regime is not that much different from NK regime. Both are under sanctions. In fact, Russia is more dangerous than NK in current situation. Germany needs fuel and it is essentially financing Russia. The only difference between NK and Russia is that nobody is dependent on NK for anything.

This guy helped NK and went to jail. Germany giving money to Russia (for fuel), it's all ok.
Interesting implications for the case of Cuba. If so, their primary crime is being a country in close proximity to the USA. So much for arguments of respecting national autonomy.
Yeah I don't see how anyone could consider it victimless. By helping North Korea circumvent sanctions he indirectly has blood on his hands. This is a country that sentences multiple generations of a family to work camps.
