> The most eye-opening thing I've learned about relativity in the past few years is that the notion that space has no preferential direction is an axiom in the theory.

No, it's not. It's a geometric property of particular solutions in the theory. Those solutions include the ones we use to describe the universe as a whole. But there are plenty of other solutions that don't have this property. (For example, the family of solutions that describe black holes.)

> There's nothing about the way we measure the speed of light that would disambiguate if light traveled instantaneously in one direction and at half the measured speed of light in the other.

You're confusing two different concepts here. The concept of spatial isotropy, which is what "space has no preferential direction" refers to, is different from the concept that the one-way speed of light could vary by direction.

The first concept, spatial isotropy, is an invariant concept: it's a geometric property that either is or is not possessed by particular solutions of the Einstein Field Equation.

The second concept, anisotropy of the one-way speed of light, is not an invariant concept or a geometric property: it's an artifact of your choice of coordinates. You can take a spacetime that is spatially isotropic, and choose coordinates on it that make it seem like the one-way speed of light varies by direction. Or you can take a spacetime that is not spatially isotropic, and choose coordinates on it that make it seem like the one-way speed of light does not vary by direction. So the one-way speed of light is simply the wrong thing to think about.

No one ever says they saw a great opportunity and passed on it

I had the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in 2010 and didn't. I was simultaneously correct (about the moral value and nature of the thing) and utterly, utterly wrong (about what it would do between then and zero, and thus from a personal financial standpoint).

I had too much faith in humanity to invest in Bitcoin. Whoops. Turned out degenerate nihilism was the winning bet.

For something to be teachable it must be reproducible to some degree. Because the number of failures is hidden, it's impossible to know what actually works or not. You're only seeing the numerator and not the denominator too. That's why survivorship bias is so important.
Yes kun, 8chan hasn't existed since 2019. 5/10 of the top boards are Qanon driven, and the main Qanon board has more traffic and users than the rest of the top 50 boards put together.

Nobody is going to 8kun to discuss vidya, the proof of this being that most of the thread images 404 since an image hosting server crashed last year and Ronanon hasn't sourced either a backup or a replacement. Weaksauce.

As part of working on synit, I've managed to write up some of the core Syndicated ideas a bit better:

- An essay on what the Syndicated Actor Model is: https://synit.org/book/syndicated-actor-model.html

- A big ol' glossary of relevant concepts: https://synit.org/book/glossary.html

- A protocol spec for interoperation among Syndicated programs: https://synit.org/book/protocol.html

Maybe some of these will be of use to you. I'm also happy to answer questions if you have any!

This pattern of the get-rich-quick mentality is alarmingly pervasive among youngsters today.

Even more common are kids who plan to get rich being a famous TikTokker, IGer, of YouTuber.

Since there's not much I can do about it, I'm just curious to see how this shakes out over time.
I think Napoleon snickered at the first steam ships. Something about requiring precisely-controlled fire on a warship. But I bet the ancient Greeks would have killed to add a wheel to their quinqueremes.

> The downside is that the "revisit the failure modes" step never happens.

You exaggerate, but yes crap code exists. As I said, however, you can spot it from across the room with grep -r 'unwrap()'. That's all I ask; can work be evaluated easily? Rust doesn't guarantee correctness; thus unsafe{} pragmatically exists. Rust just makes much incorrectness more obvious and easier to detect, both for the coder and for those upon whom their work is foisted.

Why didn't the author simply ask the parents why they do that? Then maybe he would have learned something instead of publicly requesting payment to experience his own ignorance. Poor black kids come from generations of parents for whom hard work didn't matter or for whom hard work resulted in so much time away from their kids that they couldn't teach their kids much of anything. What progressives want is to break that cycle, so everybody is better off.

Yes, some fraction of individuals can break that cycle without government help, just as some fraction of the working poor can get to their workplace without government help and just as some fraction of kids will make good choices without their parents helping them learn how. Progressives understand that governments can affect society in the same way that parents can affect their children, and progressive policies are meant to increase the fraction of individuals that break the cycle to reduce crime and increase scientific progress faster.

Ask HN: Can you share insights on developing or participating in project teams?
Is anyone working in project teams using "plan, build, ship" or no formal methodology project management environments?

I'm looking to learn from people who have had success repeatedly building cross-organizational project teams focused on specific outcomes.

For example, a team is tasked with "Grow revenue of product X by Y %" or "Rework our dev env setup to reduce the time to productivity for joiners."

This is in contrast to back-to-back scrum-based sprints where an ongoing set of new tasks are pulled from a backlog and picked up by anyone with bandwidth and knowledge of the issue's subject area.

These teams might be given little other guidance or required process, and the very ideas for these projects may come from ICs in engineering or bizops going about their normal tasks.

I'm curious about the full lifecycle, including the role of leadership support, evaluation of success, the breakup and re-formulation of these teams and what if any project management structures have worked well.

So far, I have not been able to put my hands on much description of this style of program management, though it is teased at in this recent Pragmatic Engineer article. [1]

I think you'll find that this is actually the case of US politics once you look beyond the surface. Most Americans differ very little from each other on politics.
The study was garbage not because I personally disagree with the results, but because of the reasons I stated:

1) in retrospect it was obviously incorrect, and

2) even at the time, a reasonable scientist could have concluded that it was flawed

I don't generally call papers "flaming garbage", but some are so egregiously, transparently awful -- at the time of publication -- that saying otherwise is dishonest. That MMWR study was one.
> I think this extreme take is more propaganda than most success stories.

Success stories are not propaganda in the sense that they are false stories you would be convinced to believe. They're propaganda in the sense that hearing them influences you to believe in the economic system itself and then spread (propagate) those stories to others.
This is fairly old. I have no idea whether or not it still applies.

I have also found that discrete teams, within a company, can have radically different cultures.

That said, game development has long been known as a "labor of love," with emphasis on "labor."

In the 1980s(!). I was recruited by Sierra Online. Even though I thought it would be cool, I consulted enough game developers to get talked out of it.
"Suggested cost" is speculative. We won't know what it will really cost to scale until we actually start doing it.

There are also reasons to use breeders beyond fuel cost, such as dramatically decreasing the amount of waste and the time the waste is hazardous; both are reduced by 100x each IIRC.

Isn't that the explicit purpose of propaganda? Why do people get so hung up on delegitimizing the outcome of anything stuck with the label "propaganda"?
I also didn't mean special cases where it's simply not optional and required for vibration or airflow for example. Wiring harnesses inside of machines and finished products do not need to be reconfigured during normal use, and do need to be fully secured.

And a server rack even though it needs to change once in a while, also needs all the air it can get.

I guess I should have cluttered up the observation with other junk besides the essence, to give examples like your desk or your guitar amps or your random kitchen appliances.

yeah, it's 90% hypothesizing. Don't take it as me saying what you should or shouldn't do. Obviously, I'm not in a position to do that. It's just... if your neighbour pulled up with a car that's powered by cooking oil, you'd probably look at it and go "really? that can't work." and hope that he understands that it's curiousity, confusion and frankly a lack of knowledge of something so foreign.

The photography thing hits home. I see all these people obsessing over prime lenses because "thats what pros use." Better to to be out taking photos with a phone camera than oggling 1k+ glass.

> it will make stop-the-world's less frequent, while keeping their duration mostly unchanged (as that scales proportionally to live heap size).

Go's STW phases are mostly not proportional to live heap size; iirc one never is and the other is proportional to something variable but only weakly correlated with heap size (cleaning up cached spans).

It's hard to figure out what GP is describing exactly but I don't think GOGC alone would necessarily address that. If latency was still good it was probably not over-triggering STW nor dragging other threads into mark assist.

I think they may have been hitting the pathological case described where stack roots were not being counted so a little allocation with a lot of stack-heavy goroutines could get confused for a lot of allocation, trigger a CPU-intensive mark phase, but neither clean much real memory in absolute terms nor effectively count a larger live set after. Prior to 1.18, GOGC might have to be set dangerously large avoid that.
Capitalist propaganda

I don't think the article is arguing that it's just luck, just that luck plays a huge role.

But also, and more importantly, the article seems to be arguing that these success stories are mostly unhelpful. If you do all that Steve Jobs did, it's likely you won't be even remotely successful as he was. "Stay hungry, stay foolish" is inspirational -- I like the quote -- but also mostly meaningless. Like "follow your passion", "work hard", etc. Yes, we all already know this, and it mostly won't help us become the next Steve Jobs.
ridiculous.
Your position is that the correct thing for a nominal liberal democracy to do is to encourage another nominal liberal democracy to give it's sovereign territory to a government that is, to put it charitably, ruled by executive decree? Because...they want it?

Russia doesn’t have endless cannon fodder. And has had a lot of difficulty sourcing troops. They are fine losing troops but their army isn’t as big as people imagine. And the logistics needed to get people to the front with basic supplies is hard.
Lots of valid criticisms here against academia, but I'll take this time to get on a mini-soapbox about communication skills. The biggest value-add I honed over the course of my academic career is my ability to communicate technical topics. Now, that isn't to say every master's student or CS degree holder is definitely better than a bootcamp grad at tech comm, in fact the winning combo there would be a communications/english degree + bootcamp for entry-level positions.

And this isn't just making presentations and writing documentation. It's making effective use of your time in standups. It's conversations about your future relationship with your employer. It's knowing how to ask the right questions to weed out bullshit when digging through other technical documentation respectfully. It's taking a bold new idea that entered your head and figuring out which way would be the best to envangelize it at your organization.

I think in an ideal case, a master's degree in a computing discipline hits the intersection between intense training on a subfield of computing that can be difficult to break into (e.g. statistical machine learning, robotics, formal methods, cryptography) and your demonstration of your "mastery" is taking a cutting edge concept in that subfield and demonstrating mastery through effective technical communication in the form of a project/thesis.

A master's degree isn't guaranteed to make you a "better" programmer, but I would really hope that it would make you much more familiar with the field, and also teach you how to take that familiarity and leverage it to become a more effective communicator.

RTS: No build queues, no multiple commands.

FPS: Really old ones before the WASD+mouse standard.

But I'm not oblivious to any of this before I replay the game, and might choose not to replay because of it. It's not the game that's gone bad, it's me.

I'll never replay a game not giving a shit about time passing, not bothering to save, or even choosing to start from the beginning the next time I play even if I'd saved the last time. I used to play for the sake of playing. Now I play to win.

That's a hugely different way of playing and you spend much less time in the game that way.

Not quite everything, but outside of rare social eating situations I do weigh my food when I'd otherwise have to make a bad estimate for caloric content (i.e. not single-serving packaged food or food from a restaurant that publishes nutrition facts). I also track my calories, though I'll willfully go over my daily calorie target whenever I feel like it with approximately no guilt.

I'm sure this has contributed to the success of my "diet" -- I also started lifting weights again in this period -- but the comment I was originally replying to was about how weight loss requires discomfort, and the energy density thing has been the key insight for me on how to make it not require discomfort. I see now it reads like I was solely attributing my weight loss to this one weird trick (though I do think it's been the most important factor), so, mea culpa.
Seems like at least 2 people on this reply thread didn't read the article. It could be 3, since OP wrote "an audit", if OP did the audit mentioned in the article they would've written "the audit".
Well, people die all the time, so the process of registering such events is well known - it had to be repeated millions of times, and thus is typically well implemented and optimized.

But people are falsely declared dead, or get revived after being declared dead quite infrequently, and that's why this process is typically not automated and sometimes even entirely missed.
>This seems a bit disingenuous, as they have, by definition, a very high risk of defaulting

I'm aware junk bonds have a relatively high expected risk of default and I'm not being disingenuous.

Please assume that I'm sincere, as it's required by the HN guidelines, and also, I am.

I didn't say anything is a victimless crime or say victimless crimes are ok (or acts that have victims are always wrong). So let's not go on that tangent for now. Or talk about details about Milken, which are beyond the scope of my previous comment.

So: I infer you think high risk loans are bad, like poisoned milk. I don't have a problem with that concept, really. But there must be a threshold, right? And I have never heard of anyone seriously putting that threshold precisely at the word "junk". As far as I know, "junk" is a term of art, that is opposed to "investment grade".

The WSJ has a very different take: https://archive.ph/DKex6

The ATL blog post from Joe Patrice seems to hinge its argument on two things: (a) specific performance is a major threat and "one expects that someone will prevail upon Musk to settle before that happens" (emphasis in original); and (b) due diligence was waived so Musk doesn't have a leg to stand on (Patrice is "flummoxed by Musk’s theory that he’ll ever see this data in court [because h]e waived diligence").

That's a weak argument. Specific performance is drastic, and arguably unconstitutional in many contexts (albeit not this one most likely), so courts almost never order it. Additionally, waiving due diligence doesn't grant the seller free rein to provide material misrepresentations. If Twitter is making a claim about how many actual human users it has (which it is doing by providing the number of users and saying 5% or less are bots), and that claim is materially false, that's the ballgame.
