> “specialty” coffee from roasters like Sey or Counter Culture, Partners or Intelligentsia

meltedcheeseonwhitefish isn't drinking small roastery specialty coffee. They're drinking small chain roasted coffee. More importantly, they're visiting coffee shops that don't roast their own coffee, and then they act surprised when the baristas don't know much about that coffee and don't put much effort into a decent cup.

Coffee shops that put lots of effort into their process are few and far between. Even the best are often inconsistent, because there are lots of variables to control and when you get busy it's hard to keep those variables consistent. I find that combination roasteries + coffee shops frequently do the best job, because they tend to understand the process better.

Perhaps more importantly... it's tough to find a decent cup of drip coffee (not espresso) at a random coffee shop. Frequently shops just buy a decent drip machine and run it regularly, but don't doing anything special. And if they charge more than $2 for a cup of plain old joe, don't bother. You're almost certainly better off on price and quality if you make your coffee at home, especially if you just want drip.

That being said, if you want a good cup from a coffee shop, there are some alternatives. Order an Americano instead -- if a place cares about espresso, it should taste pretty good. If the place seems pretty bougie and the barista seems competent and business is slow, order a pourover. But you're likely to get the best results by investing in a home coffee setup -- a decent grinder, an aeropress or a clever or a french press, and a kettle -- buying fresh beans, and brewing yourself, instead of going to the shop every day. If you truly want a good cup from a coffee shop... you're going to have to hunt for a shop that you like.

>Writing a progress bar is basically still impossible.

So then why try it?

I would much rather see some sort of update like when you run "yum update" and it spits out 3/15, 11/15, etc. You don't have to show all of the lines scrolling, but you could do similar to a "\r" instead of a "\n" in the progress window with an update that is very intuitive. You know how many steps you must take to accomplish the user's request. I don't need to see how long each step is taking per se, but if you showed me the total number of steps and show each one ticking off would be much more useful than the typical blue bar race.

I’m so thankful this year was mostly smoke free, but last year was a dystopian nightmare for like 3 or 4 months, it ended all outdoor activity for most of the summer and fall. Out of desperation, I resorted to riding my bike a few times wearing a ventilator mask, but wow was that uncomfortable. I’m really not looking forward to worse, but of course I know you’re probably right. With the size & scale of these fires I keep wondering how everything flammable hasn’t burned already in the last five or six years?

It isn't as much to claim specifics about what you do wrt targetting.

It is to try prove they have engaged users who are looking at the screen rather than, for instance, opening it in a tab then closing it later without ever reading any of it.

You might link that to what adverts were shown, but only if they know that information (they may not if the advertising space is farmed out to 3rd parties which is very common).

DI&E training is not about “hiring based on race”. It’s about just the opposite. Treating people differently based on race because we all have implicit biases. Some of us are just intelligent enough to recognize it in ourselves and not allow it to affect our actions.

But the law is not about hiring. The law is about what companies are allowed to include in their training and the government was trying to decide what could and could not be said by private corporations.

The government wanted to in fact control speech - not hiring decisions.

Are you okay with the government controlling what private companies can say during their training?

The model described here seems. Like bunk. It set of alarm bells for me when they said it wasn't based on an understanding of chess.

But regarding whether it's possible to make such an argument, I'd refer you to the more compelling case the moderators of a Minecraft speedrunning forum made against the steamer Dream. https://youtu.be/-MYw9LcLCb4

The allegation is that the drop rates of key items were manipulated. It's a statistical argument, but it's founded in the mechanics of the game.

After offering counterarguments and denying it for months, Dream eventually admitted to it, though they claim it was an accident (in a manner which is plausible, though I personally doubt it).
I agree. The number one error made by people with statistical knowledge is to assume independence of events. Even very smart and very educated people tend to make this mistake rampantly. I hypothesize it is due to the education curriculum being very slanted in the direction of assuming independence everywhere because it makes the math easier, but I can't prove this. In the real world, true and full independence should be considered an exception rather than the norm.

Saying that Neimann is a very good chess player is basically a restatement of the fact that his previous records are likely clean. Nobody was accusing him of constant cheating before. (Cheating once is relatively easy. Cheating continuously, in multiple different environments, and leaving no trace, is hard.) The entire question at hand is essentially "Is Neimann's probability of cheating correlated with playing Magnus Carlson?" (and a family of similar questions can be asked) and no amount of analysis of his games not played against Magnus Carlson will answer that.

As for why the probability of cheating would be correlated with playing Magnus Carlson, again, no amount of consulting the statistics will be able to answer that question, but for anyone who is a human being with human foibles the answer is fairly obvious.

Someone used to double checking premises will observe that there's not much in this question statement specific to Neimann. The fact that he's cheated before does raise his particular probability, but you could ask this about anyone. And my reply to that would be, yes, that is indeed how things work, and is exactly why these high stakes games are played with more formality and more security than a pick-up game in a city park. Neimann's prior cheating does raise the question with a bit more urgency, but we generally assume a priori that anyone might be interested in cheating in a game with Magnus Carlson, and high level play in general, and act accordingly.

agarden in a sibling post suggests that the analysis itself goes deeper, which sounds more interesting. I am speaking only to what is in the linked article. It would be far from the first time a reported simplified a complex and nuanced argument into something useless, and I thought the point about independence is still worth posting.
Unfortunately little of what you've said is true.

IQ only has predictive power at very low scores; above 100 it randomly correlates with, eg., wealth and various other extrinsic objective measures.

The only cases where "success" is measured by the profession are circluar, ie., its often claimed Drs/lawyers etc have high IQs, but necessarily so, since they're all filtered based on IQ tests.

Psychometry has nothing to replicate, because there are no psychometric theories. It is simply a field which finds patterns in exams it makes up, based on no testable theories, and asserts that these patterns have "some meaning". There isnt anything here to replicate.

> Simple tasks like fiddling with an API json response with rust, haskell or ocaml are always going to take longer than with python.

This isn't true, you are generalising your own perception of the tools you're not as familiar with as python. For instance, here's how simple json api fiddling looks in Haskell, if written quick-and-dirty prototyping way:

-- requires packages: aeson, wreq, lens
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Network.Wreq (get, responseBody)
import Data.Aeson.Lens (key)
import Control.Lens

main = do
result <- get "http://httpbin.org/get"
print (result ^. responseBody)
print "---"
print (result ^? responseBody . key "url")

Now, how exactly is it taking longer than with Python?

I'm not talking about brandishing or open carry. The most common deterrent I've seen from the the (literally) thousands of violent encounters I've seen on "Active Self Protection" is that criminals start running and scrambling when the victim counter ambushes with their _concealed_ gun, whether they even put a shot on target. The victim should put a shot on center mass as that puts the criminal in "FIBS" mode, "Fudge I've Been Shot", and their shooting accuracy plummets drastically. To the extent that a victim can close the distance and counter ambush with a knife, that could be effective. Guns are a range weapon which is extremely useful in a gun fight. Brandishing a knife is likely to get you shot if you aren't ready to immediately use it.

>how you can state there's no reason whatsoever to suspect him of cheating is absurd

If cheating does not show up in performance then is it cheating? If there is any performance gain then it should show up at some statistical level.

Wouldn't it be northern-hemisphere-centric? Which makes sense -- I mean, there isn't like a uniform standard for astological signs. Even within the northern hemisphere there are different labels. The trend I'd look for is an association between strength and being born near the beginning of the local harvest season, or so. But this stuff is all ad-hoc folk observations and the practitioners are motivated to add extra history, to give it the appearance of "ancient wisdom." So I'm not motivated enough to gather the data to back it up, haha.

Edit: It also would be the case, I guess, that summers being generally pleasant-ish would be regional, right? Like some hotter regions can have pretty lean summers I think.

> Instead of saying "What are we doing that isn't capturing the students interest in these tasks? How can we connect this subject to the students most meaningful, important, and immediate concerns and goals? What concepts from this subject can we teach the student that'll help them achieve those salient goals?"

While this is not a bad question to ask, asking it won't avoid this kind of thing. Because it doesn't matter what the learning system is, or how good it is, many students will always do stuff like this if they can. Because it's fun. Because you get to stick it to authority.

Whether that authority is just or has your best interests at heart or is trying as hard as they can to do a good job is beside the point when you're young...

McCrystal was in fact all about actually reducing civilian deaths. He drastically altered almost every aspect of daily combat life of US and Afghanistan government soldiers in that quest.

An example from someone I know: Multiple helicopters are searching for a piece of enemy equipment hidden in the mountains. They find it, miles from the nearest anything in a rocky open mountain. The helicopters then spend six hours in pair shifts circling it, while the authorization to shoot at it works it's way up to Washington DC and back down again, with multiple calls coming in to "confirm there are no civilians in the area". All to destroy something worth like $200.

Airstrikes and artillery use were cut way back, and subject to crazy delays and process. This reduced how far out units could push, since support was far delayed.

Army staff even proposed a medal for "Courageous Restraint", for going above and beyond not shooting even when threatened and allow by the rules of engagement.

It was deeply unpopular with the boots on the ground. And civilian deaths actually went up. From an academic paper:

"The restrictions on the application of firepower protected the Taliban as well. This was likely a contributing factor in the dramatic overall increase in civilian deaths during the year that courageous restraint was implemented given that the large majority of civilian deaths recorded were attributed to actions initiated by the Taliban."

"Aren't Haskell and Erlang both GC?"

I answered the question about safety. You can have the safety of Rust without the complexity of Rust. I never promised there are languages that will have every last attribute of Rust but be simpler, and even typing that sentence out should make it clear that that is fairly unlikely to happen. Adding a GC is one way to simplify Rust. All simplifications of Rust are going to come with side effects. The complications are there for a reason; the question is always, does the code you're writing right now require that complexity, or can you use a simpler safe solution? Usually the answer will be the latter, honestly. Only a fraction of programs require that level of control... but it's a very important fraction!

There are some immutable languages inspired by Rust that are trying to have immutability without garbage collection but they're a ways off from practicality, I think.
It is unlikely that Meta is able to decrypt the messages on their side. The WhatsApp desktop client is actually very crippled by the fact that it can’t just ask someone for the messages, it is another participant in end to end encryption and needs the shared keys. If they would defeat end to end encryption they would first implement the desktop client in a more functional and easy way.

But it is possible for the client itself to build a map of advertising id -> interests and send that over to meta separately. This would be similar to one of chrome's proposals.
India went from 5% with air conditioning in 2017 to 13% with air conditioning in 2022. It's projected to hit 69% in 2040.[1]

It's also well suited for solar power, and the price of solar power has dropped 90% per decade for the last 5 decades, and that trend looks to continue.

Getting air conditioning to most Indians is a difficult problem, but it's an easier problem than solving climate change or accommodating 1.3 billion climate refugees.

When IR35 was first introduced dividends weren't taxed the same way and it really was a big tax advantage to work through a Ltd. That was arguably a reasonable situation if you really were running your own business with your own costs and risks as well. However it was definitely exploitable by people whose clients were really employers offering them the same perks as permanent employees anyway.

But that hasn't been the situation for quite a few years now so the financial arguments to "justify" IR35 don't really make much sense any more.

I'm sure someone will come along and explain why I have no idea what I'm talking about, but so far my understanding is those names exist because of the difference in CPU word size. Typically "int" represents the natural word size for that CPU, which matches the register size as well, so 'int plus int' is as fast as addition can run by default, on a variety of CPUs. That's one reason chars and shorts are promoted to ints automatically in C.

Let's say you want to work with numbers and you want your program to run as fast as possible. If you specify the number of bits you want, like i32, then the compiler must make sure on 64bit CPUs, where the register holding this value has an extra 32bits available, that the extra bits are not garbage and cannot influence a subsequent operation (like signed right shift), so the compiler might be forced to insert an instruction to clear the upper 32bits, and you end up with 2 instructions for a single operation, meaning that your code now runs slower on that machine.

However, had you used 'int' in your code, the compiler would have chosen to represent those values with a 64bit data type on 64bit machines, and 32bit data type on 32bit machines, and your code would run optimally, regardless of the CPU. This of course means it's up to you to make sure that whatever values your program handles fit in 32bit data types, and sometimes that's difficult to guarantee.

If you decide to have your cake and eat it too by saying "fine, I'll just select i32 or i64 at compile time with a condition" and you add some alias, like "word" -> either i32 or i64, "half word" -> either i16 or i32, etc depending on the target CPU, then congrats, you've just reinvented 'int', 'short', 'long', et.al.

Personally, I'm finding it useful to use fixed integer sizes (e.g. int32_t) when writing and reading binary files, to be able to know how many bytes of data to read when loading the file, but once those values are read, I cast them to (int) so that the rest of the program can use the values optimally regardless of the CPU the program is running on.
