Torrent-like algorithms do this. They localize the content while maintaining neutrality of services.
This is a great step in the direction.

On the one hand I actually want the credit for all the open source I've done. On the other I don't want my boss to see if I'm contributing to some open source repo when we have a looming deadline. I would appreciate fine grained control

To be fair, I don’t think you need that entire stack. Just using VSCode + pyright (which is a one button install in VSCode) + type stubs for libraries your using without native hints, gets you 99% of the benefits.

If you really want, you can even throw in a little pre-commit hit hook that runs pyright and prevents you from commuting code with type errors.
Sometimes your address isn't maliciously being sold but is just leaked through incompetence.

I worked for a company who's mailing list ended up being leaked to spammers.

Our (otherwise seemingly legit) mailing service we used for our opt-in-only mailing list got breached.

We got lots of irate customers (there are surprisingly many people who use catch-alls), the mailing list provider put up a blog post saying "they were investigating" with no followup, and suddenly month later they redesigned their blog and the old post was gone...

Oh the irony in your last statement. Somebody who hasn't done social science research professionally (this is an assumption, let me know if I'm wrong), has difficulty judging what social science research can (and can't) do ...

> That doesn't mean an experienced full stack developer would do Data Science better, because he might lack a lot of skills that matter more in that domain.

This resonates with my experience. I had the opportunity to work on a DS codebase written entirely in Scala with all the typing, parallelism, actor model, whatnot. Basically I joined the company because of this technical factor. It was fun until I figured out that DS was "typed IF-THEN-ELSE written by Java devs in Scala returning stuff the users complain about with high reliability within milliseconds". Now I am happy to be back to the single threaded untyped Python world. Still no bugs in production, because we validate all requests to death, have unit tests and integration tests running on real data not on mokups. Basically we follow the principle: if the integration test passes, our typing is just right, or at least good enough. Funnily all the typing errors we catch are caused by wrongly typed data, coming from the productive system written in a typed programming language... what a strange world.

Yeah, there's also a rubbish dump converted to a amphitheater next door that randomly and spontaneously catches fire.

I have two separate lines of questioning:

1. Does this paint a bigger target on your back, exposing more via custom APIs than most?

2. What do you plan to ban via Terms of Service? Do you have the stomach for things other payment processors don't? (adult, fringe groups, etc.)
> That said, I give the benefit of doubt to the author of "The DK Effect is Autocorrelation." It is a human error to be overly zealous in some opinions without thinking it through.

If only there were a term for "a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general"
We've recently started using Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile but the docs describe using it across mobile and web (which I assume means you can also package it as an electron app).

However, everything in Kotlin Multiplatform isn't designed to be cross-platform. It gives you the ability to structure your shared business logic to work across platforms, but you build a native UI for each target.

This has it's benefits long-term wrt creating polished native apps, but is more time consuming for a start-up.
NT has always been an SMT system, so full-on tokio should probably be runnable with a bit of patching.
Maybe I'm missing something, but 'self-correcting' doesn't necessarily mean 'immediately self-correcting'. I guess it's safe to assume, that incorrect studies are not cementing our world view and entirely stopping us from questioning studied topics again.

The way I see the self-correcting nature of science: the truthiness of our view about specific set of topics increases over time (in some approximation).

> People lacking the ability to self-assess is interesting psychologically. People can learn from experience in many other contexts. People can judge their relative position versus other people in many contexts. Why would they be so bad at this particular task? There could be a psychological underpinning.

Is there an existing and relevant phenomenon about people lacking the ability to self-asses, that is true, proven, and not just trivia?

I do believe that people understand all the available information about their skills and performance, and they rate themselves according to it.

E.g. if they are asked about whether they perform good on an IQ test against their classmates they will produce noise (see E.g. the article "I can't let go of.."), and if they have the results of the IQ test, they will be able correctly calculate in which quartile they are.

Is there anything against this view?
Lol serious? Must have missed that one
Haven't looked into it too much, but yes, the files themselves should be compatible. I'd probably use no_std on targets like this or Win32s.
This is really fascinating. It would be cool if we had an online group or forum that attempted to brainstorm the simplest/cheapest/(safest?) ways of performing interesting experiments like this that you wouldn’t think you could do at home. I’ve read about a few experiments for determine the speed of light using a microwave that I thought were pretty cool.
It is a writer, who is complaining how people do not read books anymore. He writes lots because writing little is not his goal.

You have no complained that his complaint is too long. His reply might be: that social media has transformed books into tokens. Their content worth nothing more than to provide an identity and tell what message can be explained in a single page. He is lamenting how while promoting his book he is getting interviewed by people who have only read the marketing sales points. How during consideration for a award the committee will only evaluate a synopsis.

Overall, a article worth the read. Yes it is long. Yes it is not concise. Yes it is not a great article to retweet to your followers and establish your credentials with crowd X.
Wow, I have completely the opposite reaction! I’m not saying you’re wrong, of course; it’s just fascinating how reactions differ.

To me, the jazzy changes in the Steely Dan song are very in-your-face -- the song is built around them. It’s pleasant enough but feels very random and meandering to me.

The Mendes song, as you say, is “built out of standard bits” -- it feels like a “proper” soul ballad. For me the unusual changes work because they’re used a bit more sparingly, and each one comes as a little jolt, either to elevate the emotion (in the conventional “go up one key at the end of the song” way) or alternatively to ease off the pedal a bit for a change in lyrical tone. It’s like the whole song consists of final choruses and bridges, which are often the best bits of a good song. :)

Some architectural/program assumptions may not be encoded in assembly or preserved in the asm -> C -> asm roundtrip, especially if the assemblers are for different architectures. The obvious example is pointer word size and memory model.
Yes, waiting five hours to then have a synchronous conversation is one way to handle this. Another way is to not assign feature work asynchronously, but to have a synchronous meeting where the feature is assigned, to try and ensure that people are aligned before they go off and work on their own.

> Real-time conversations are extremely valuable.

Of course they are. It's the ability to have a real-time conversation on demand, with no consideration for the counter-party's focus, that is ruinous.
RISC-V spends it on the "R": either not having single instructions to do certain stuff, or that those instructions are in one of the extension blocks so you have to customize your binaries to a particular RISC-V subset. Most architectures only do this for the high-performance SIMD numeric instructions.

ARM endianness is switchable at runtime.
Before Google Maps came out, online maps all looked like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20060428160705/http://www.multim... and this: https://web.archive.org/web/20050528023529/http://maps.yahoo...

View the map a single tile at a time, no dragging the map, no moving by less than a tile, no zooming with the mousewheel, every move and zoom a full pageload.

(You'll also notice the older maps are much higher contrast than Google Maps - the older maps being modelled on printed paper maps)
The hoops they had to go through to get PIC address calculations to work make it quite weird. Because `auipc` adds an offset from its `pc`, the corresponding `add` or `lw` relocation needs refer back to that instruction rather than the symbol it's actually looking for.

The poor ELF specification ends up quite tortured by this, IMO.
Tbh, I only ever hear people reference DK when they're trying to point out that they're "working with morons" (in their opinion, of course).
This is irrelevant quote. All data could be collected and interpreting in different ways based on actual knowledge.

We have data for knowing that grass is green. But it is not true at night.
Yeah, since it's common knowledge now, spammers know about this too and at least darknet resellers might also be incentivized to hide the true origin of the dump that they are selling.

I usually go about this now by having a dedicated domain for only EMail with a catch-all configured (Fastmail, Protonmail at least for Pro users allow this).
That's great because everytime I'm required to provide an email for no reason at all for example hotel checkins i can just come up with a new one on the fly:
hotelname2020@example.com

Bonus points for also preventing credential stuffing in case they get their badly secured passwords compromised too.

I don't have the numbers to back this up right now, but 90% of my spam comes from scraping my email from public documents, Github or one-off webshop purchases.
> I'd assume they don't want to introduce a check for the FP case as it would break pretty much all the code on earth which assumes that NaNs and Infs do not exist.

There are even compile flags that let the compiler assume that as well - some of them as benign sounding as -ffast-math or -Ofast.

> Unfortunately, the law treats negotiations between actual peers and large companies "negotiating" with individual customers the same way--it'd be hard to delineate distinct classes of actors that can and cannot enter into arbitration agreements (or contracts in general).

RISC-V was originally going to implement a hypervisor mode which would only have worked with Xen-like hypervisors. Luckily we were able to head that off early and the actual hypervisor extension we got can run KVM efficiently.

Not quite. BaaS just provides the banking rails. The ability the send, receive and store money.

But it’s up to their customers to build actual products on top of it. Such as bank accounts, loans etc. Otherwise all you really have is a REST API that happens to be able to move money. But good luck getting your average consumer to pay for that.

Peter Cochrane is, erm, a character. Rumours of his antics abounded at Martlesham Heath. One story has it that he wanted ISDN at his cottage in the Scottish Highlands, which meant running many miles of cable (how many depends on who's telling the story) across uninhabited bogs and mountains.

You keep saying this about RISC-V and it keeps not being true. Instruction sequences that fuse are standardized. RISC-V defines various profiles (like "Unix server") which mandate a minimum set of extensions. Extensions beyond the mandated ones will be detected at runtime, just like on x86.
All you say is true, except in consumer contracts.

Generally speaking b2b arbitration is faster, sometimes cheaper, less reputation damage, better judgements. Judges in arbitration are usually way more experienced.

Arbitration in consumer contracts usually benefits the company. Companies select biased arbitrators, because they have control over the selection of the arbitrator. There is no discovery or depositions. Less details.

If the ISP has over-subscribed their network that is not the ISP customer's problem, and that is not the problem of the (e.g.) streaming service.

The ISP either has to reduce their service speed or charge more.
Is there supplemental material I didn't notice? I only scan read it after the joke section but I can't find any mention of supplemental data anywhere. That's a problem because although you say the other tests are better, no information appears to be provided on which we can judge that.

Let's look at the second test. It's advertised as a "logic test". The description is:

> Participants then completed a 20-item logical reasoning test that we created using questions taken from a Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) test preparation guide (Orton, 1993).

That's the entire description of their method. So immediately, we can see the following problems:

1. Just like the joke test, there's no way to replicate this given the description in the paper. Which questions did they take and why? In turn this throws all claims that the DK study has been replicated into question.

2. The citation is literally a Cliffs Notes exercise for students. It's about memorization of answers to pass law exams, not an actual test itself designed to verify logical reasoning ability. Why do they think this is a good source of questions for testing logic? Law is not a system of logic, there's even a famous saying about that: "the life of the law is not logic but experience". If you wanted to test logical reasoning a more standard approach would be something like Raven's Matrices.

Putting my two posts together there's a third problem:

3. Putting aside the obvious problems with subjectivity, their joke test is defined in an illogical way. They define a test of expertise (working as a comedian), select some people who pass this test and define them as experts, then discover that one expert would have been ranked by their own test as "incompetent but doesn't know it". Yet this is a contradiction, because this person was selected specifically because the researchers defined them as competent. Rather than deal with this logical contradiction by reframing the question they simply ignore it by discarding that comedian from their expert pool.

This is good evidence that DK themselves weren't particularly logical people, yet, they claim to have designed a test of logic - a bold claim at the best of times. Ironically, it appears DK may be suffering from their own effect. They believe themselves to be competent at designing tests yet the evidence in their paper suggests they aren't.
MIPS delay slots were another example of this. Arguably Itanium's failure was due to exceeding the weirdness budget with VLIW nonsense, leading to the default PC 64-bit architecture being AMD's "x86 with longer registers" instead.

What happened to the Mill "unlimited weirdness budget" CPU guys anyway?
Yes. Unfortunately, we have to vote between two parties. When I vote I am typically voting for someone who I hope to agree with on 50% of the issues. There is no sane political party in the United States any longer. Pick your poison.

Your argument is that some meetings are necessary to make decisions. That is not what the OP is tired of. He is tired of 'corporate bs'. Productive meetings are not 'corporate bs' so your comment is not relevant.

> There's simply no way for any ISP to allow all customers to use their full bandwidth, that just doesn't work, both technically and with the prices consumers pay.

I know how over-subscription works.

But tough shit. As an ISP customer I'm paying for $x/month for x bps. I've cut a cheque now provide me with what you advertised.

> If the new investment was paid in part by Netflix and others like them, as they drive most of the increase in bandwidth, then the cost would be pushed to Netflix customers through Netflix.

The streaming services are paying for their Internet connection, and ISP's customers are paying for their Internet connection, and it is the job of the ISP to connect the two.
