The Fed printed money to prop up the price of derivatives, not the price of house. Huge difference. Houses themselves fundamentally have intrinsic value as an asset.

A currency has no intrinsic financial investment value. Especially not an arbitrarily created crypto currency.

The only reason it's price would go up is people speculating that someone else will want to speculate on it in the future, and will pay a premium to do so.

We all know what it looks like when the future speculators dry up.
I understand the sentiment, but if I had bad paint, malfunctioning infotainment, or broken body hardware on a brand new car, it's not something that I would think "this is okay, I can put up with this". Cars are expensive and I think it's reasonable to expect to get 100% of what was paid for, or at the very minimum, name and shame them for quality issues.
A long time friend of mine is their advisor I believe. So I am pretty confident that the engineering is outstanding
That doesn’t make sense. Any function doing I/O is not pure by definition, and while using an IO monad can shift the impureness a bit to make a function behave as if it was pure, it is not pure and cannot ever be pure. Can you explain?
I encountered this about 10 years ago here in the US. The course seemed to have become a kind of Kobayashi Maru - nobody else in my group ever even managed to get a working installation of the compiler, which we had to do in a Windows XP VM (there was some way of getting a license for a copy of XP but almost nobody in the class seemed to get it to work for some reason).

I think their point is that if both real humans and spambots are using AI to generate their articles, then detecting which one is spam becomes that much more difficult.

This is where I see natural language AI causing a real kerfuffle. We're probably already reading bot spam articles without realizing.

He probably deserves a proportional amount of hate relative to the nexus of power and money he has accumulated.

Also, twitter was cash flow positive. It would feel like a money-making business to you if you owned it. It was only the stock-based compensation that caused it to lose money. But of course, that is just diluting shareholders and not actually losing money on operations.
IMO, people would prefer that billionaires keep their money because they also buy into the idea of making it big themselves one day, someday. If you get rid of the billionaires, that prize no longer exists for people to wish for.

Then there's the "what's mine is mine" argument, that whatever was acquired legally is by rights yours and nobody can say otherwise. In America, this philosophy is very prevalent.

> Can you make the case for me that eg. 250k preventable deaths is a better outcome than letting somebody donate a billion dollars?

I don't understand... why is this a dichotomy? I must have missed something in the conversation somewhere?
There's definitely a strong overlap in that sense. Probably also because these institutions tend to have smaller class sizes which allow better teach/student interaction and more time. Public schooling in the US could do this too, but has been hamstrung for decades.

In math the kids definitely leveraged the binomial/trinomial tools, beads and other tactile methods to have a better understanding of the concepts of mult/div/exponentials/roots long before they would have approached in the standard US arithmetic methods. They were also doing algebra and geometry by the end of Montessori.

Montessori also spends a lot of time working on holistic views with regards to science and history and then give the kids the freedom to do their own research and projects on the topics. The normal school models tend to take more of a cause-effect + memorize the dates method as that's what tracks the testing. It's not generally till university that they then go back to something that usually requires critical thinking.

On critical thinking there's an emphasis there in Montessori on involving the kids in asking more questions and then building a model to analyze and defend their position. Public school is optimizing for learn by rote and it's a culture shock going to Uni where they back to something that's utilizing critical analysis.

My older child is in IB at the moment and they're using much of this as it's taught in more of Uni style.

Is this trained or fine-tuned on the content of existing Notion customers like GitHub Copilot?

The FAQ is unclear:

> Any information used to power Notion AI will be shared with our partners for the sole purpose of providing you with the Notion AI features. We do not allow any partners or 3rd parties to use your data for training their models, or any other purpose.
> On iOS this link opens up the Notion app which says “this content does not exist”.

Here I thought that was a meta comment on the notion of AI.
I am not.

Everything he has done successfully relied on old/proven technology.
I am not saying that this is bullshit or not impressive.

But that does not prove anything about his claims on AI, transportation or Mars colonization.

I would love to see him succeed, but at this stage I am pretty much convinced that he won't, too many red flags.
But you quickly come up against problems of text alignment, trying to show 2+ theoretical streams of text on one 2D page, and it's a pig to get the DX right. A specialist editor would help, but then you could ask, why not just use a structured doc in eg JSON and represent it graphically.

For background, I wrote a tool that would convert an ASCII art diagram in comments describing the state flow of a class into a set of method declarations in the class. Even using online diagramming tools, it's not easy.
I implemented this at Go Daddy for our internal KB around 2006/7 after someone started leaking docs. It was pretty reliable, but had some interesting failure modes: not being able to search for words with transposed glyphs, excluding code listings and other things that might be copy/pasted.
That page is now missing. Maybe they’ve changed their mind. Generative AI is one of the few sectors that gets VCs still excited these days, but the text version of it is fraught with unresolved problems. Try getting rare code or the inauguration poem in it for completion and see what comes out. Spoiler: it’s either direct copy or gibberish (content that any good editor would remove) that wastes an ever increasing chunk of humanity’s time. The avid users of generative text today are LAZY and don’t clean up or improve the content - they are compensated and rewarded for word counts and that’s exactly what they get in droves from GPT3. If Notion implements generative features, it needs to label those notes generated, to prevent its systems from filling with crud nobody cares to read over time. If they do content summaries, will they stop with that.

That said, generative AI is a feature, that will go everywhere soon - it will be the next copy paste. If developers and product people are not careful, it will also invoke regulation that demands generated content to be labeled to remain legal (or you will loose the reader’s trust in your content).
After reading this article, I changed my mind about functional programming. I no longer think I need to learn it asap. I now think it may actually make my code more difficult to understand and maintain, and will keep avoiding such patterns.
Thanks for the prompt answer!

I've overlooked the `async` on the first line… My fault. :-|
I’ve had that problem with Perl, too, so I think it’s more about which set of third-party packages you depend on and the norms in that space. One interesting tradeoff is that Python’s standard library is pretty large so you have a fair number of programs which can be frictionless by sticking to the stdlib.
If we "actually work" 32 hours out of 40 (80%), what is the likelihood that if we shift to a 32 hour max week, that the average person will only "actually work" ~26 hours (80% of 32) in this hypothetical future?

What if at least part of the 20% is spent doing social activities, water cooler conversations, etc. that enable the remaining 80% to flow more efficiently?
Remark: Deciding if a proof of a proposition exists* up to a certain length n is NP-COMPLETE. Deciding if a proof exists at all - which is the Entscheidungsproblem - is semi-decidable. So the parent wasn't entirely wrong.

We probably just need a different approach to education in general, or just a reckoning of what values our society actually has. As much as I like to hate on teachers (because of bad experiences I had) they really are just the symptoms of an institutional/cultural problem.
Reasons teachers get disrespected (and arguably deserve it):

- Education is a major studied by idiots who want to party in college.

- Western society is individualistic to a fault. The reason teachers get screamed at is because grades are seen as an attack on the character of a parents child (and used to evaluate and individuals worth). Since the parents refuse to believe that their little kid might just not have a high IQ or be lazy, clearly the teacher is at fault. Everyone wants to believe their little mini-me is a special snowflake, the bell curve proves otherwise.

- This narcissism and individualism, is also a feature of teachers. Hence, the constant self-aggrandization of being a glorified daycare worker by everyone in the profession.

- Teachers unions make it difficult to fire shitty teachers, even if there isn't a shortage of teachers. Just like cops, teachers look out for themselves.

- Good teachers get poached by private schools, that offer higher wages.

Institutional/Cultural problems that make education shitty:

- Property taxes fund schools. Rich suburban areas have well funded schools, poor inner city areas have underfunded schools that are falling apart. Guess which one attracts better teachers?

- The US is a large and very diverse country. Some populations here value education A TON, others do not. This is a reality that has to be acknowledge, and the standards of say, Silicon valley should not be applied to rural Texas. (my siblings took AP US history in Texas and they didn't even learn about the civil war)

- College is pushed on ALL students, and funding is partially determined by college admittance. Needless to say this is wasteful and partially contributed to many of the issues around student debt and credential inflation.

- Standardized testing is also a terrible mechanism for determining school funding. Teachers end up wasting a ton of time trying to teach to some arbitrary standardized test, and the students hate it as well.

Idk I could probably list more issues with education but those are a few off the top of my head.
Foam roller! I got one for my birthday and I use it every day.
Why is this all so buggy? I don’t know why people like Notion so much; I discover bugs literally every day using it with our team (we are paying members with 2 companies).

So another lame one; I click on this article in iOS safari and it pops open my iOS Notion app saying ‘this content doesn’t exist’. Well done! I will add it to the list, in Notion.

It is the system with the highest popularity while also having the most bugs that I used in a long time. But not for long.

It is also slow; started using some similar (but less feature rich) products and things like Joplin are so nice and snappy that I tend to forget the missing features.
Fair comments. I’m not at a huge org, but I am in an industry not known for its optimism. I myself am not particularly optimistic lately. Maybe I should be!

I don't think #1 matters, because it runs again once it's in a valid state again. Your test will fail while in an invalid state, but that's to be expected.

As the author explained in another comment, it initially generates the code coverage for all tests. When code is changed, only the tests that cover that code are rerun.
> Particular in the corporate space, the problem of finding relevant knowledge

This really is incredibly hard. A large fortune 500 company I worked for this summer had a whopping 35000 confluence pages. There is no navigating a knowledge base that vast. You couldn't even clean it up, because there was no way to know if someone would need some piece of fringe information on a rarely visited page any time in the future.

Lack of institutional knowledge is a huge problem at Tesla. They repeatedly have to learn lessons that every other auto maker figured out decades ago.

It's pervasive across the whole company. Remember when Elon was complaining about the lack of car carrier trailers, and making plans to build his own? Tesla was the only company with that problem.
It looks like quite a different concept! Here neither player can move again until they've both submitted the current move.

When will society stop wasting time with chemical rocketry and start work on the only scalable approach to space travel with nuclear propulsion. We've wasted over 60 years of development pursuing a path that is physically impossible to lead to real space travel (the energy density/mass of chemical propellants means we waste an enormous amount of energy just moving the propellant into space, let alone the actual payload).
Looking at the headline, one might think this is another tedious guide to what (arguably) constitutes politically correct language in modern society (case example: "use 'unhoused' in favor of 'homeless'"), but it's actually a collection of well-researched and documented examples of misuse of technical terms.

For example:

> "Chemical imbalance. Thanks in part to the success of direct-to-consumer marketing campaigns by drug companies, the notion that major depression and allied disorders are caused by a 'chemical imbalance' of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, has become a virtual truism in the eyes of the public... There is no known 'optimal' level of neurotransmitters in the brain, so it is unclear what would constitute an 'imbalance.' Nor is there evidence for an optimal ratio among different neurotransmitter levels."

They also discourage the use of the term 'brainwashing' (introduced in the 1950s during the Korean War by the US government), although I'd argue that 'operant conditioning' is an acceptable and well-researched concept, particularly when it is applied steadily from a young age through to adulthood:

It might match what others are asking, "what is reliable to the automaker/customer" but they talk about reliability and then start talking about flaking paint and trim that doesn't stick properly? Not really my definition of reliable which would be "it drives in an expected way".

Quality is something else and since lots of EVs are currently high-price items, it doesn't surprise me that shortcuts are made to make everything as cheap as possible so that's fine.

Then on my diesel Skoda, which has had 100 years to perfect, the auto-stop system frequently doesn't start the engine again. Anecdata maybe but my boss has had no problems with his Tesla Model X.
I think there's a difference between police-ing speech, and clarifying it. Language is hard, and misunderstandings are surprisingly common, and many world's evils comes from pure misunderstanding.

Most misunderstandings arise from people having different understanding of same words - so approaching agreement on the meaning of words is important to reduce misunderstandings. The problem is the language is self-manifesting - the word gains the meaning from the way people use it, even when the meaning differs from the original (perhaps academic or technical) meaning.

So one side has to stand back - either academia (in this case, psychiatry), or the general population. Since academia largely relies on solid, defined meanings of words, while the general population relies on "how other people are currently using it", it's supposed to be easier to change the usage by the general population. Although it's pretty hard to do both ways.

Otherwise, we end up with words having two distinct meanings, one professional, and other layman.

As one of the comments under the article mentions, there is some discussion of what is now called P versus NP in the correspondence between Gödel and Von Neumann from 1956. Which is earlier than Cobham but later than Pocklington and was itself only discovered in the late 80s. [1][2]

Hahaha "startup" doesn't mean "CEO who publicly insults his own company and employees and pretends he knows better than them because he owns a different company." This is not "startup chaos", this is "narcissistic, toxic CEO" chaos. Elon's behavior is absolutely unacceptable coming from a leader. Source: I work at a demanding startup with a respectable CEO.
Higher rates mean that the interest on that 20% cash that you would to give up is higher, so you are giving up the opportunity cost of having a a cash flow.
> So the SEC are waiting for slam dunk cases to establish precedent.

But this might never happen. I can launch a lending protocol completely anonymously, pump it on Twitter/Telegram, and get 7+ figures TVL overnight. It might not even be predatory (even though a lot are), but who would the SEC even go after at that point?

Fitt's Law is a factor, BUT I think the always-on-top menu bar made more sense when smaller screens were the norm. With a 4K monitor at the highest-possible resolution, it can take a loooong time to get the cursor all the way up there from the window I have tucked on the lower half of the screen.

I'm not saying you're right, but you're less wrong than you would have been when low-resolution monitors were the norm. That is, when Fitt's Law was developed.

It is more public now but Elon has always operated this way. A book about paypal: The Founders, describes their constant war to survive and he obviously thrives in that environment.

Which is why the Elon Twitter doomsayers are not likely to be right in the end. He has a method and it is rough and certain type of employee that fits his operating style.

Twitter culture just the complete opposite which is why there is such an internal war.
I wish the UI/UX for Obsidian was better. It takes just long enough to search for a note that I want to edit that I end up just putting quick stuff in Google Keep due to its ease of use.
Decoding for all "we take your security seriously" pages on the web:

In transit means https (like your comment getting sent to this page).

At rest means the underlying store uses a key, like S3, or even HDD encryption. It's encrypted on write to the disk, and decrypted on read. This may be fantastic for when nation state black ops sneak into the data center and remove the server's drives for forensic analysis, useless for anything else. (To be fair, it's useful on a laptop. Not so useful in a data center.)

Neither of these means it's encrypted between reading disk and sending over HTTPS.

Neither one means employees, servers, or clients, can't see your data.

This is the problem. You didn't even read my argument. Go read it again, carefully, instead of skimming through it.

My point is:

Maybe one of these religions is right. Maybe something is the best. Maybe a side must be picked.

You didn't argue for better. You argued that everything is the same, that all things are good and nothing is bad and that every single thing in the programming universe is a tool in a toolbox.

I disagree. Violently.

The point is neither the culting acolytes OR people like you can prove it either way.

But calling people who don't share your opinion as "culting acolytes" is manipulative. The words have negative connotations and it's wrong. Extreme opinions in science and logic are often proven to be true, they are often validated. To assume that anyone without a neutral opinion is a cultist is very biased in itself.

Here's a good analogy: I believe the world is round. I'm an extremist. You on the other hand embrace all theories as tools in a toolbox. The world could be round or it could be flat, your the reasonable neutral arbiter taking neither the side of the flat-earther or round-earther.

The illusion now is more clear. All 3 sides are a form of bias, but clearly our science says only one of these sides is true, and this side is NOT the "neutral arbiter" side
