Well, it's not ideas, it's language abuse I'm griping over. Is "the alchemy of mind control" a helpful term in any way?

Wouldn't "as long as the techniques of narrative control remain the domain of the elite..." be better expressed as "while the elite use misinformation..." and perhaps ask what it is about the plebs that they'll accept being played? (if they are, which is semi-contentious).

Curious, on which specific interesting points are you referring to.

> At this point, however, you may be feeling that type theory sounds very complicated. Lots of different ways to form types, each with their own rules for forming elements? Where is the simplicity and intuitiveness that we expect of a foundational theory?

It's just not there, Mike. Type theory is neither simple nor intuitive, and it doesn't make a good foundation.

Type theory certainly has advantages, but it gets lost in esoteric texts like Mike's. There are two simple advantages over set theory within first-order logic: general variable binding, and that things are kept separate, for example that a boolean is not a number. Now, how to do general variable binding without static types I show in [0]. How to still keep things separate, in [1]. All without having to divide the mathematical universe into static types.

Yeah, I've never thought much about power consumption, but I've done a few write-ups of previous builds, and I received a lot of questions about power draw, so I decided to measure it on this one. I was surprised at how much power the system consumed, and it will be something I think about more up-front on future builds.

If you want a good crust, put a Dutch oven in your oven as it’s warming up, so that it also gets hot, then take it out, drop the dough into it (has to be low hydration to keep shape), cover with lid and put it back into oven. This will keep the steam inside the Dutch oven. In my experience, it actually makes it so crusty that I take it out of Dutch oven halfway to not overdo it.

This is operating on the original vector data rather than the raster data you get from rendering the originals.
During the first 2 to 6 weeks on a job (it probably varies more than this) most corporate US environments expect significant amount of time to go to processing/onboarding. When providing status updates in meetings just state as much, usually with little to no specifics. I've yet to see anyone respond at all within the first month. What's remarkable to me is the amount of overhead/cost associated with these institutional mechanics, despite tools like Workday, which frankly I don't see as actually being effective. Staff counts of 2 and more (in addition to the new person) with these tools still can't manage to communicate with new staff where to go, where to send equipment, etc which reveals a significant need in the market.

Quitting for that is only possible as a solution if you have remote friendly alternative to go to after you quit, but if, like in Austria, all the employers in the country went back to the office then you pretty much have no other options than to go to the office as your employer demands, since you quitting won't fix this issues :(

A solution to force the employers hand to allowing remote work might be mass resignations across the country, but Austrians in general are too submissive and fearful to collectively strike against their employers like the French for example.

I find the superdeterministic solution more problematic since on its own it just says that the reason the universe seems to not have local reality is just that it has been predetermined that it should seem that way to us.

This is worse to me than our experience being a natural consequence of entangling ourselves with the rest of the universe. It's not an illusion, it's just an admission that our experience is also ruled by quantum mechanics and we cannot observe something without interacting with it.

"[P]olitically neutral individual" -- I'm confused by this part. Can a vocally left-leaning professional engineer still do a good job when the client is vocally right-leaning? I expect so. And vice versa. I see no conflict of interest.

Deeper: What does that term even mean? It is so vague and snarky, I am struggling to understand your purpose. What kind of person (in _any_ democratic country) is highly educated but politically neutral? None that I know. To be clear: I do not consider "centrist" and "neutral" the same.

Another thing: Lots of medical doctors had strong (political) views against smoking tobacco before it was so popular to rail again Big Tobacco. Should we muzzle them also?

Last one: All highly-developed countries have very strict rules about who can practice law. Many of these lawyers lead the effort to fight discriminatory laws and rulings against minorities/less-priveleged in their respective countries. Again: Should we also restrict this profession to only "politically neutral individuals"?

LARP-ing is becoming incredibly popular here in Poland it would seem.

I have some acquaintances who do a very involved War in Vietnam LARP with several dozen guys going out to Polish mountains for a week or two to pretend they're U.S. Military. It's very important to them, lots of attention to detail, lots of rules on how to stay in character.

It's fascinating to see Americans' reactions to these things. I don't think collectively Americans seem to notice the extent to which their culture has inundated the world, especially places like Poland where USA obsession is rooted in the 1980's and 1990's.

What area of the world do you live where you get 10 Gbps to the Internet? Can you reliably get 10 Gbps transfers to pCloud?

I got 1 Gbps fiber in the last year, but it's more like 700-800 Mbps in practice. I consider myself lucky to even get that, as my experience before that has always been 100-200 Mbps even on a "1 Gbps" plan. I'm super jealous of people who get a full 10 Gbps Internet connection.
I used to feel this way, but it really is a skill anyone can develop. I actually just finished building a replacement control board for a window fan to make it HomeKit-connected, which would have been beyond me in the past. The key is to break the project down into concrete, achievable phases. For example, my project required firmware to test the UI, drawing a schematic for each sub-component, building a BOM, drawing a schematic, drawing a PCB, building the board, writing firmware to test the board, testing the board, and then writing the final firmware. That’s a long list, but each item in isolation is a couple of hours or days. Once you are able to decompose the project, it’s just doing the next thing. Oh, and accepting that you’ll need to fix mistakes in past steps along the way. :)
A lot of that sounds like the initial investment you need to put it, I was more wondering about the maintenance part.

I assume most of the equipment is supposed to last decades, and maintenance itself can be automated to a degree (use the trains themselves to run track diagnostics for example).

I remember there being, at some point in the 00s, many projects with projectors shooting at a touch-enabled frosted glass tabletop from below. Those looked really cool and futuristic.

Yet somehow, all these projects have disappeared despite all the advances in display technology. Why?

This is already happening. The likes of Google Home et al already hardcode their own servers. I noticed that no DNS requests were being made through my Pi Hole, so when I looked, it turned out their DNS servers were hardcoded.

I mean, they just raised their graviton prices between generations.

I don’t think the point was that they would increase the cost of existing instance types, only that over time and generations the price will trend upwards as more workloads shift over.

The point of academia isn't to prepare you for your future profession. It's not supposed to teach you the on-the-job skills. It's about learning to learn, about getting equipped with a toolset to tackle novel problems and give a broad theoretical basis for that in your field of study. Also to demonstrate you can learn and work through a subject that's not (or you think is not) directly relevant for you.

That and more are the qualities future employers attribute to that piece of paper and letting cheating slide is certainly not pragmatic.
A business class ticket from Paris to Berlin gets you the same seats as an economy class ticket, with at best the bonus of the middle seat next to you being empty. (If you fly a six abreast A-319 rather than a four abreast Embraer/Bombardier jet that is.)

You have the exact same “hurry up and wait” situation with passport checks, luggage checks, ticket checks, then a half-hour worth of seatbelt-on-no-laptop-no-toilet time at the start and end etc.

Any traveller who wants to either work or watch a movie in peace will tell you that 4-5 hours on a train are preferable to a 1 hour flight (which is also 3.5h travel time even if you have cabs and a tight timing in the priority security lane).

There used to be dopplr.com which went into this direction.

I tried recreating your experiment.. created an aurora Serverless v2 db with 0.5 - 2 ACUs in us-east-1.. since you said it was for Wordpress, I disabled the multi-AZ replication, since AFAIK, WP can't use separate reader/writer connections (mentioning this because you didn't say anything about it in your article)... then I let it sit overnight so it had time to create everything.

It's sitting at 23% of 0.5 ACU.

So its either the replication setting (haven't tested with it on yet), or.. AWS is a shared service... wonder if it's similar to EC2, in that sometimes you get an instance on a machine that's more overloaded and the instance doesn't perform as well.. and you have to destroy it and try again. Might want to try it again.

Edit: I don't think its the replication setting... tried that with a new db and its at 25% on each replica after an hour.

Great post, absolutely love the challenge it makes.

> No one considers this success. Deese, in his speech to the Economic Club of New York., declared the debate over: "The question should move from ‘Why should we pursue an industrial strategy?’ to ‘How do we pursue one successfully?’" I am unabashedly sympathetic to this vision. In a series of columns over the last year, I’ve argued that we need a liberalism that builds

The real meet though is a challenge to the do something party to actually follow-through on their talk & make more decisions, to build, especially in deep blue states:

> It is too slow and too costly to build even where Republicans are weak — perhaps especially where they are weak.
This is where the liberal vision too often averts its gaze. If anything, the critiques made of public action a generation ago have more force today. Do we have a government capable of building? The answer, too often, is no.

There's a lot of good exploration of the problems, why our government (unlike so many others) is slow. But the title & the gist eventually tends towards this core paragraph:

> This is a way that America differs from peer countries: Robert Kagan, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has called this “adversarial legalism,” and shown that it’s a distinctively American way of checking state power. Bagley builds on this argument. “Inflexible procedural rules are a hallmark of the American state,” he writes. “The ubiquity of court challenges, the artificial rigors of notice-and-comment rule-making, zealous environmental review, pre-enforcement review of agency rules, picayune legal rules governing hiring and procurement, nationwide court injunctions — the list goes on and on.”

Reasonably believable & well enough stated!

I believe the thesis, in industrial policy, in a nation that can build & grow competencies. I do think the adversarial process is a sizable part of the US's modern disfunction. I worry that we've been in such a contested state over doing anything for so long that even if so many challenges disappeared, our elected officials would have a hard time exercising the powers we are asking them to weild, that politics is too much about lawmaking & campaigning & that doing work, building things is a competency we'd have to relearn & develop, to a degree. It's challenging to think how states can develop capabilities- they're not quite big enough, funding is so hard. Interstate alliances seem like they'd be required, to make lessons portable, re-use practices, jointly invest.
Yes, that's in London. In actually rural UK you're very unlikely to have fibre.

(Even in smaller towns/villages the cost to hook up an unconnected house to the cabinet, to the owner if they want it ahead of when Openreach might eventually get there, is North of £10k. I imagine if you want to pay for that installation somewhere rural it's even considerably more, since the nearest fibre might be miles away. They might not even do it, I don't know.)
I am not a civil engineer, but I can imagine a situation where a wooden bridge could be used as a stopgap to pull off a more tricky construction.

Maybe not in the 21st century however, and I don’t think your analogy is perfect.

It might be more like wanting to hire an architect who is also great at civil eng. The skills definitely synergize and can help prune the architect’s search space of good designs, but such a candidate is probably just going to go for an engi job, and lean on their architecture skills there: for example an algo dev that can do mock-ups.

You can do a "DEF delete," but if you are caught you will be paying some major fines for EPA violations that will quickly exceed the value of the truck.

Do the DOT inspections at weigh stations not check for this? I know that older trucks are grandfathered as they never had it; generally vehicles are required to have all the original emissions controls intact.

You also will need to know how to reflash the engine computers, which will not be happy if expected emissions equipment is simply removed.
If you only consider PC/server market then yes. But I'm fairly confident any given household has more ARM chips in it than x86 CPUs.
I'd recommend rereading my post. The problem with education research is that there's a hundred years of it. I listed the two in my original post. A longer list:

- Bruner's work on spiral curriculum, and follow-up work. Spiral curricula are mis-implemented in most schools which claim to use them; it's not review. It's successive passes going deeper.

- Cognitive work on progressions such as surface->deep->transfer learning (Hattie) or chunking

- Physics education research on complex multiconcept problems

- Spacing effect. You can go all the way back to 1885 with Ebinghaus, but the esoteric author of supermemo seems to have done the best work here. If you prefer the academic establishment, there's a ton.

- There's a bunch of science that about 2/3s of what we learn, we're not aware we're learning or teaching. Concepts support each other, deeply. Kaplan, back when Bror was there, did a bunch of nice work there. It's easier to learn long division if you know a bit of algebra, and vice-versa. Chemistry helps learn physics, and physics helps learn chemistry. This was supported with pretty independent methodologies in independent domains (data analysis from tests, cognitive task analysis, etc.).

... and so on. This has very little to do with affect. It's a very well-established, rarely-applied set of results.

A complete lit review here would be book-length, at least.
I dunno, this take is a bit weird to me. The work we did to support Graviton wasn't "moving" from Intel to ARM, it was making our build pipeline arch-agnostic. If Intel one day works out cheaper again we'll use it again with basically zero friction.
The 50s seem to be hugely popular with populists on "both sides" (of the atlantic)... they all seem to want them back urgently.
With a century of experience with the US government policies bringing damage to the country’s food supply, I don’t understand why so many people think that FDA is somehow good now.

They could solve the baby formula immediately by just allowing import of European baby formula. Sure, it’s not been vetted by FDA, but unless you believe French or German babies are malnourished en masse, this is scarcely a good reason to prevent import in time of shortage.
