America, your thought control is murdering your children.

“The thoughts won’t stop. HELP ME”

The great secret of our time is that we are not alone in our own minds.

The great conspiracy of our time is that American thought control is rape murder extorting the United States of America (and the world.)
I can't tell if you're intentionally missing my point.

If all the people making the trade-off, and all the people who pay the people making the trade-off and all the people who pay the ... etc. are one type of person, then you're going to make trade-offs that hurt other types of people.

Here's a list of examples for women:

> The US government did not adequately test the impact of a crash on a belt-restrained female dummy until 2012. Dummies for decades had been based on the average, 50th percentile male body.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47725946

Basically, if you flip it and it seems ridiculous, then it is ridiculous.

How long do you think crash testing with only a female 50th percentile dummy would have lasted before someone, recognizing that they themselves weren't represented would have said "wait a minute, we're ignoring half the population".

If you need a purely technical example: websites that require JS work fine for most people, but might fail catastrophically for people using screenreaders or privacy protecting addons. That trade-off might make sense if you forget about those people, and it's harder to forget about them if you, your team, your industry and your main audience mostly consists of those people.
As mentioned in the info popup, I cannot guarantee how factual/true the AI-generated contents are. They are only meant to be used for inspirations so I would take caution just copying and pasting to the draft like I did in the video.

Probably need to mention that that part of the video is actually not advised for plagiarism issue.
That's only the lexer check. We have further lints that run after parsing to detect Unicode confusables in identifiers as well, as well as two lints for text flow codepoints that can change what the code looks like in editors (one for comments and one for string literals).

Also, even if we were to use AI to replace a doctor, the for-profit hospitals would pocket the difference as profits.

For-profit medical services are inhumane, immoral, cruel, barbaric at their core.

Every time I describe the US medical industry and medical insurance industry in Europe, people react with disbelief, disgust and horror.

The amount of mass propaganda needed to keep this monstrosity in place explains a lot.
It has been tried, for example making diagrams in Rational Rose and generating C++ code from that. Then I assume filling in the code "details" manually. Probably someone else can comment on how that has worked.

That was before agile or TDD were such big things.
I used my iphone for recording, so that's probably why.
I agree to your second point. I added caution in the info tooltip but I have yet to figure out an active way to prevent users from just copying and pasting the content.

I have plenty of emails in my inbox that don't use both. I think you're off by several orders of magnitude.
Is it really worth getting to work all sweaty and smelly, and carrying a bag of work clothes?
Yes to the above. I'd also add that fine motor skills are proven to be trained through sleeping. Music has a ton of that, so practicing every day serves a purpose that cannot be replaced by intense sessions.

It is however very possible (and likely) that the author had already trained and somewhat saturated those parts, perhaps even without thinking about it because it was their natural state. In those cases you can become a sponge when a new modality opens up to you.

Rich kids who get personal tutors tend to not dominate their fields. There's an advantage, but it has to be coupled with alone-time practicing. People who alone-time practice out of genuine curiosity tend to underestimate the magnitude of practice they get because it can feel effortless.
I was fairly lucky to stumble into a UC program that was pretty good about not setting up speed limits for those pursuing computer science. I knew how to program going in, was very clear on my statement of intent that I did not want to be stuck in introductory classes, and was largely able to start where I wanted and then take what I wanted. Like the author, I also graduated with my degree at 20. Things seem to have mostly worked out.

What I will say is that bringing up college as an example of a place with "no speed limits" is kind of odd. I happened to fall into a place where I could shape things around me to fulfill my needs. I abused a program designed for encouraging undergraduates to do research to get a rubber stamp on all the graduate classes I was interested in. Not everyone can have that. Some of those doors have closed behind me, and were already closing when I got into the program. At most colleges if you don't have the prerequisites you're just not getting into a class, period.

I do think there is something to be said for there not being any speed limits on knowledge in general. College is one way to get it, and one of the last things I did before I graduated was try to design a class for students who were willing to go fast and deep. But a lot of it is materials, and people, for which college can be a very rigid structure that does limit you from moving quickly. In that case you might have to find your own path that you can move at your desired speed on.

That is true, but even in Denmark, bike usage among adults is greatest in the biggest cities. Rural and sub-urban life requires cars (but the politicians live in Copenhagen so they don’t appreciate this reality).

Still, you can do a lot to make cities more bike friendly. In Silicon Valley it’s my impression that Palo Alto is vastly more bike friendly than all of the neighbor cities.
The google-style interviews are certainly filtering for something though. An unfounded theory of mine is that the unfortunate eagerness of Google to sunset their products [1] might be a side effect of hiring for people that rather want to solve exciting coding problems and furthering their career by using X new language/framework, than maintaining legacy systems and keeping backwards compatibility, which might not sound so exciting.

Yes. There is a 2h15min high-speed train service between Paris and London via the channel tunnel (Eurostar), which is missing in the data. With connections, part of France is reachable from London, and vice versa. I guess the Deutsche Bahn data used to build this isochrone map is focused on continental Europe.

Graph theorists would call this a "critical bridge": if you remove this single Paris/London link, then a lot of indirect connections disappear without it. And the UK appears railway isolated from continental Europe, which it's not.
depends on the site. you generally get the privacy from others knowing which pages on a site you read. if the whole site is just like that of my company which describes my business and my projects then that's no win for privacy because they can follow the ip and assume you read all of that. however if the site is a static copy of wikipedia, they can infer a lot from knowing which pages you actually looked at.

Nor is SMS. Nor a phone call (even a presumed "landline" can be voip, and that can be hacked too).

Here's the truth ; nothing is "secure".

Now... is email more secure than SMS, or less? What about other 2-factor auth things? Is email secure with 2-factor auth?
The site would have to have a hell of a value proposition for that to be worth the effort.

Therefore, this article is just the usual activism without substance.
Well instead you could get one-to-one tuition sensitive to and tailored for your unique strengths, brought by the very best in the field. That would be pretty resource-intensive, but maybe you are worth it. But now look at from the providers' perspective: they can only afford to do this for a small fraction of the students that will think themselves deserving of it. What approach will let your special gifts shine through all the competing candidates?
The article fails to mention the costs of reducing carbon emissions. Compared to that, US$100 per tonne of CO₂ can be cheap.

The shutdown of the economy during Covid-19 provided a case study for the costs of reducing emissions by reducing consumption and production. According to the Rhodium group [1]:

> the emission reductions achieved this year as a result of COVID-19 are incredibly costly. We estimate the US will spend between $3,200 and $5,400 of lost economic output per ton of emissions avoided, depending on the shape of the recovery scenario.

In my opinion, only a market for CO2 emissions can find the least-cost solution for a net-zero society (both terms should be understood within the capabilities of human beings). As long as the revenue is actually used to pay for actual negative emissions (not offsets, or hypothetical social costs), climate change will stop (getting worse) as soon as supply equals demand, and a market clearing price is reached.

Let's say, this turns out to be about US$300 per tonne. If so, the article only demonstrates that there's money to be made using carbon capture from the air.

1) I will take note of that. I wasn't sure how common the term was because I never heard of it, but I'm realizing it's actually a lot more common than I thought

2) I absolutely agree with you; I should've given more thought on that. In short-term, I will just redirect users to login-page right away. In long-term, I'm planning on making a 'guest-mode' so users can try it out before having to sign-in
The issue is that a for-profit medical industry squeezes doctors out of their position of healers and pushes them against their Hippocratic oath.

They become the face of a malignant industry aiming to maximize profit by extracting the maximum market price under the threat of sickness, suffering, death.
Piece neglects an extremely important point. Ted says he has tens of thousands of subscribers, which I assume puts him into the top 20 newsletters, or close anyway. On internet platforms a minority of creators reap outsized rewards and subscriptions are highly concentrated.

He moved to a platform after decades of traditional publishing which got him the position he is in. It's like Taylor Swift starting her own record label and wondering why she keeps so much money now.

Small creators rely on distributors for advertisement, management, organizing events, networking and so on, none of which Substack does and none of which Ted needs. I don't think going down that route is good advice for anyone who isn't already extremely big. It's like going from being a member of the actors guild to becoming a Twitch streamer. If you're really famous you can likely carry your readers over, otherwise you may have a problem.
Yes and in response we should abandon more people so they voluntarily choose to off themselves. It is consent all the way down.
Infrastructure is definitely required - safe bikelanes are almost a "must have". I live on the highest point in copenhagen and bike to the lowest. Granted it's not a mountain. Weatherwise, and I bike to work every day - 6-7 km btw, the summer is great, fall is lots of rainy days (but having quality rain clothes helps). In the winter, which granted is mild - but goes down to maybe -10c, you can still bike, even in heavy snow and when the bikelanes haven't been cleared.

I love biking - taking the car would be horrible, especially parking wise, and the public transportation, while good and regular is just not for me.
that's actually one of my biggest concerns since I do not yet have a way to hard-prevent them from just copying and pasting summaries.
I'll have to do more research to figure this out, but it's definitely on top of my mind
These backslashes don't look right.
That is simply not how cryptographic hashes work. They have nothing to do with primes, and having a quick way to factor large numbers would do nothing to impact the security of the PoW part of Bitcoin (I believe it may affect the security of your wallet, though, but that is an entirely different attack).

Note that even being able to quickly reverse the hash function for Bitcoin wouldn't do anything to the PoW security.

The only thing that matters for PoW as implemented in Bitcoin is that there is no way to predict the value of the hash of a block + nonce faster than computing the hash. This doesn't rely on integer factorization difficulty in any way, it simply relies on a construction that uses many one-way functions.

* UK's worth of emissions in 2015. More concretely, 400-700mn tons of CO2 would reduce global emissions (currently about 35bn tons: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions ) by 1-2%.

I think in 10 years of teaching I met one student who genuinely might have skipped through the intro programming course without too much harm.

Being able to pass a test is indeed
not a sign of mastery of the material (this might come as a shock to some! Just because you got good grades doesn’t mean you’ve mastered the subject! It just means you’re good at the test! But wait, why use tests then? Well, sit down, get comfortable and let me tell you a tale of how we got here…)

The fact this conversation exists highlights that our education system is silly. Without evidence, I subjectively like the ideas in “One World Schoolhouse” as an alternative.

Development and re-juvenile of groff is recently taking a good path. While groff is still single-pass and doesn't do paragraph-at-once type setting, it is a much more pleasant experience than maybe like five years ago.
> It's not coding you should be quick at but finding a robust design, that doesn't need a lot of fixes or rework.

Yes, but you don't even need to be quick (modulo company/team-politics, which tends to favor speed). I am a slow but good architect, but slow doesn't hurt because it's going to be dwarfed by implementation time anyway. Not to mention, paper+pencil+contemplating is the most fun part!

That depends on the ITP system. But in general, in an ITP system you can separate the name of something from how it is displayed. In the ITP system I am currently building, Practal, the displayed syntax does not need to be unique. So choosing a unique name becomes simpler, because you don't have to worry so much about how it looks, because that can be entirely different and doesn't need to be unique. Apart from that, every accessible element of your mathematical universe already has a name: it is the term you use to describe it.

I just chose google since I thought it was easiest way for someone to sign in without having to verify email, re-enter password, etc.

However, I never thought about the privacy concerns many people have regarding google signins. Thank you for the insight! I will definitely consider a workaround to this.
> That said, the vulnerability of cyclists to cars poses its own lethal risks. But these aren't anywhere close enough to outweigh the benefits from lower obesity. (They'd add about 90,000 and 160,000 additional deaths per year for the two levels of use.) And, if fewer drivers are using cars, there's a chance that these numbers would come in even lower.

Are they using the existing car->cyclist kill risk for this? The only way you would actually get people to bike more is by making it safer via dedicated infrastructure, so this figure would necessarily be lower.
If the outbound service was cancelled due to predicted flooding, then the return service will also be cancelled, whether the flooding eventuated or not.

Yes, that's right. With my simplistic UTF-8-based implementation it turned length() -- for example -- from O(1) to O(N), turning O(N) algorithms which use length() into O(N^2). See this issue: https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/issues/93

Similar with substr() and other string functions, which when operating as bytes are O(1), but become O(N) when trying to count the number of codepoints as UTF-8.

GNU Gawk has a fancier approach, which stores strings as UTF-8 as long as it can, but converts to UTF-32 if it needs to (eg: the string is non-ASCII and you call substr).

It looks like Brian Kernighan's code has the same issue with length() and substr(). I'm going to try to email him about this, as I think it's kind of a performance blocker.
Speed != total effort.

You need to operate within your capacity. For me this seems frustratingly low (50 pretty focused hours a week). Don’t know if others have a higher capacity or they’re just postponing burnout, but I have tried to go beyond 50 hours and it always ends in enforced holiday.
Awesome, now we just need to move everyone to someplace without snow or hot weather.
Not sure you are projecting a little bit here, what I do and how I do it is very untypical for academia (I teach at an art university, so it just counts to give people skills not to teach them some fixed curriculum), I also get the chance to do one on one teaching sessions where students will profit because I can do things at their level. Also we don't have tests and students are free to choose their courses.

Given that environment if someone comes to "introduction into analog sound synthesis" I can expect them to want to hear just that (or they need the credits). If people don't come to learn, I will not force them. They are grown ups, it is their decision if they want to learn.

Please also consider that unless you have experience in teaching groups you might have a rose tinted view of what an instructor can practically achieve. If you have a group of 20 people with 10 of those having no clue what you are talking about, 2 that are very advanced and the rest with mixed levels inbetween you must find a way of teaching the 10 that have no clue while also not boring the 2 who are more advanced. This can be a hard problem to solve in a good way as you cannot split yourself. If your group is bigger it gets harder even (and at some point you have to stop worrying).

I am totally for people being able to skip classes where they can demonstrate they already know everything thought in it. But practically it might be a lot of work for anybody working at university to create such an test for e.g. just one person. From the perspective of a student it all looks a lot simpler than it might be. For example even if someone could test a student to make sure they are not sending them into a hail mary be letting them skip fundamentals, maybe that someone has so many other tasks on their shelve that even if they wanted they cannot do that?

Also: for every student where this might make sense you will get 3 or 4 that really overestimate themselves with a nearly narcissistic inability of judging their own ability. You know, the type that would like to construct the equivalent of an iPhone in circuit form while not being able to explain ohms law.

But I think the space industry tries to communicate something other than SDR when they are talking about software-defined satellites. E.g., satellites as a service, allowing different customers time share a satellite and use it for different purposes by making the capabilities wider.
I think the mechanisms of this are known, through the effects of stress and cortisol and poor sleep to metabolism, and people's preference to sugar when they haven't gotten enough sleep etc.

Not to mention taking the time to cook & eat your own meals without doing something else at the same time, which usually results in healthier choices and more satiety (if you eat slower/less calorie-dense foods).
I do think there's a degree of selection bias, here. Only quality writing from long ago would survive; the C19 equivalent of tweets (or HN comments) will have long since vanished, so not be around for us to evaluate.
There is a site I use that does this. I try and use $sitename@domain.tld as the email for most things I sign up to. Occasionally this gets wonky like the site in question because it was originally a Patreon sub for access so the email for the site was patreon@domain.tld then they switched to their own payment system but my email for them is now locked to patreon@domain.tld.

So when I log in with sitename@domain.tld it thinks it's new account and just signs you up as a new user rather than saying you don't have an account.

Now imagine having a bad day and you try and sign in with 5 different emails because you forgot wha one it was and snow you have 5 different "new account" flows with all the bullshit +12+24+48 hour onboarding/retention/marketing emails for all 5 email addresses.

My fault entirely obviously but it is a little mad.
