Yeah I see what you’re saying, I had my last iPad for about 7 years and I only upgraded because I wanted the latest OS and also wanted my Mac and iPad to both be on the Arm chips. I will probably upgrade my MacBook in 3-4 years but will wait longer on the iPad unless it becomes a full fledged replacement in which case the MacBook will end up getting ditched entirely.

A few years ago that would be true. These days, minimum wage workers are getting harder to find.

But that's only if the search is constrained to immediate locality. The "great" thing about this concept is that we can hire minimum wage workers overseas to control robots in America (latency be damned).

> the general tendency to be welcoming and non-offensive makes it very hard to get corrections and feedback from people you are talking to

In New Zealand it is usually offensive to “correct” someone’s English, because the act of “correcting” pronunciation and grammar is often associated with status signalling (higher education is associated with high status by many stuck-up knobends). The same dynamic occurs in other English speaking countries too. I have seen the same thing in Spanish with madrileños too, and I am sure it happens in many other cultures.

Correcting someone is often fraught with issues:

* Foreign speakers have clammed up, or gotten upset, when I have carefully tried to help. It is very difficult to be tactful without causing embarrassment.

* Many native speakers are ashamed if caught out making mistakes, so we eventually learn to avoid correcting the mistakes of others, even humdingers.

* Usually we want to remain on the topic of conversation. It is hard to inject corrections without breaking the flow, even in a one-on-one conversation. Nearly impossible in a social environment.

* The mistakes of ESOL speakers are often ingrained and resistant to improvement. Trying to fix errors over and over again is tiring for both people.

Hi Nick, your podcast is one of my favorites of all time. As a solo founders I just can highlight all the knowledge I got from it. I come back from time to time.

That's the thing. In the middle-east there are no repercussions or consequences for the 1%. They can literally cut off the arms of house cleaners who quit, or behead journalists, without anything more than harsh words by b-rate American and German politicians.

I have a t-shirt I bought at the Gap around 1996 that is still wearable, though a bit worn-looking where the collar meets the shoulder seams. Thick, sturdy cotton. It was probably around $15, which would be about $30 today.

There is no such plain ladies’ fit t-shirt consistently offered anymore. Either tissue-thin and less than $20, or involves a silly print and/or ruffles and lace.

There certainly exist sane people who 'just want to be left alone to spend their money' but they don't arrive at that view for the same – subconscious or unspoken – reasons as the groups I singled out.
Sure but they’re correlated. I think a team like openAI could definitely come up with some kind of useful “confidence score” based on Bayesian probability scores plus some other metrics, even if they’ll never have 100% confidence

> The actual amount of energy needed to reach LEO is about the same as the amount of energy needed to send the same mass to New Zealand from the US by airliner.

Yeah but rockets use a lot more fuel mass compared to aircraft whose engines are airbreathing. Rocket engines need to carry their own oxygen in the fuel tanks and are less efficient as a result. Surely fuel costs are no trivial concern.

> The reason launch is expensive is because the launchers were thrown away.

Well I agree that it's stupid to just throw away the rockets into the ocean but I thought NASA just didn't have the capability to reuse them. A comment below says the US congress forced them to reuse old parts which makes no sense to me.
"It can lift objects of up to 88 lbs in weight"

That's surprisingly not a lot for something that size.
Actually, that's not what the chart says. It's not maximum speeds, it's all speeds. That includes many circumstances where you can't go that fast, e.g. due to slow traffic, accidents, speed limits etc. So 30% of all speeds surely is a lot.
Unfortunately/fortunately (depending on your relationship with Apple) iOS is probably the best “general-purpose” OS for limiting screen time. I’m sure there are a lot of in-app tools you can use in android, but nothing for the entire ecosystem

(conversely those in-app controls notoriously make it difficult to unify controls in iOS as well)
On the contrary, git commit messages and checked in docs are the only places that are guaranteed not to be lost to history. Ticketing systems change, get migrated to with data loss or are access limited. Git is forever. The commit message is a much better place for explaining what was done why than some obscure Jira instance.

> He is not suggesting the use of citation count as a metric for quality. I have no idea how you could have possibly gotten that from reading this article.

TFA is extremely clear that the presence of citations (in the aggregate, as a count) on “weak” papers is something the author considers a problem and a perhaps a moral failure on the part of citing authors. The author also believes that citations should be “allocated” to true claims.

* “Yes, you're reading that right: studies that replicate are cited at the same rate as studies that do not. Publishing your own weak papers is one thing, but citing other people's weak papers?” Here citations are clearly treated as a bulk metric, and “weak” is a quality metric.

* “ As in all affairs of man, it once again comes down to Hanlon's Razor. Either: Malice: [the citing authors] know which results are likely false but cite them anyway. or, Stupidity: they can't tell which papers will replicate even though it's quite easy.” Aside from being gross and insulting — here the author claims that the decision to cite a result can have only two explanations, malice and stupidity. Not, for example, the much more straightforward explanation that I mention above (and that the author even admits is likely.)

* “ Whatever the explanation might be, the fact is that the academic system does not allocate citations to true claims.” The use of “allocate citations” clearly recognizes that citation counts are treated as a metric, and indicate that that the author wishes this allocation to be done differently.

* “This is bad not only for the direct effect of basing further research on false results, but also because it distorts the incentives scientists face. If nobody cited weak studies, we wouldn't have so many of them.” Here the author makes it clear that they see citation count (correctly) as a metric that encourages researchers, and believes the optimal solution is to remove all (but perhaps explicitly negative?) citations to those papers.

> A bullet point in his "what to do" section is literally "ignore citation counts".

Yes, after extensively complaining about the fact that citations aren’t used by authors in a manner that reflects the way they’re used as a metric, then complaining further about the fact that authors do not use them this way and repeatedly urging them to change the way citations are used — the author then admits that their use of a metric is problematic and should be ended.

We agree! The only problem here was that the author took a detour to a totally absurd place to get there.

Yup! Just half an hour a month is all it takes to take care of a uterus. Having one definitely doesn't affect mood or cause cramping or headaches or any other related physiological side-effects on any other days. Nor require an annual specialist doctor visit. Nor will any uteruses have a 9-month period of intense activity which will coerce the owner's day to spend an inordinate amount of time doing actions related to having an in-use uterus. And then after that, the body having used the uterus definitely doesn't undergo any other changes that might cause lactation, which is definitely not a laborious process every day for months on end.

Nor are there any society constructs or expectations that cause people with uteruses to be treated differently from those without, especially those that might challenge gender norms that traditionally go along with those physical attributes.

There are no differences in pay, or career expectations; no laws passed anywhere in the world that might legislate either of groups being treated differently.

We definitely don't still segregate humans into different rooms to urinate or defecate.

You heard it here first! Half an hour a month is all it takes! The rest of the time, everything else is totally the same!

> Remove the need to struggle for a basic comfortable life

Literally anyone who was alive during the 19th century would say that we’ve done this already.

> The points you make have no relevance in a world where you don't need oil workers, arctic fisherman, day laborers, and so on.

My point was that the oil workers and arctic fishermen are already richer than many of the Ivy Leaguers, yet occupy a lower social status because our elite status games are decoupled from material wealth. Making material wealth even less relevant to daily life will only intensify these trends.

> Human nature doesn't enter into it; when anyone can travel anywhere, can replicate the same food or goods the wealthy elite currently enjoy exclusively, there is no practical separation between them.

No, it just means those luxuries will cease to function as markers of status. It doesn’t mean markers of status will go away. Most markers of elite status have little to do with money because money is already too easy to get.
> will continue to be dependent on petrochemical solids for long after we switch completely to electric vehicles and renewable energy

Does anyone have insight in what the negative effects here are, if any? It feels like this should be problematic, but I just can't put my finger on what problems this is creating. Like e.g. extracting oil to create single-use plastics that get put in a landfill after usage: it sounds bad, but what's actually the problem (assuming the whole process is done without burning any of the oil - which afaik is possible)?

> The place for these what/why messages would appear to be in a ticketing system of some kind, referenced by ID in the commit message.

No. It's best to assume that all information in your ticketing system will be totally lost.

The commit message should have the "what/why" directly in them, because that's where you'll first look when you want to find that out (why add an extra hop), and it would require extreme incompetence (which is not unknown) to lose information stored there.
These look like they might be the slides from SPJ's talk at Haskell eXchange this year.

Heh, I guess in my comment I was only thinking about how to make sure two different values don't end up with the same serialization, but indeed if you aren't careful then there is also the problem of two identical values ending up with different serializations, e.g. because you used a different JSON encoder or the field order was inconsistent.

> The actual title is "What's Wrong with Social Science and How to Fix It".

Yeah. I couldn't fit the whole thing into the hard 80-character limit so I decided to drop the word "social" because I thought the subtitle was important to keep. I guess it's moot now that the title has been edited, I assume by a mod.
Agreed! Start with something really really simple like arithmetic. Part of the motivation for this blog post was that I struggled to get over the hump that came once I had done the basic stuff like arithmetic, variables, if/else, top level functions, and got to the harder bits like closures, garbage collection, etc.
> It bothers me that they've continued to claim over the years that they were "fired for narcolepsy". The NCC I'm familiar with paid multiple people for years who weren't able to deliver work because of health issues, and did so without blinking.

Maybe they've got special policies on health. I am not impressed with NCC Group's firing policies. I was fired because, as far as I can see, I was recruited to the bug bounty team with an offered perk (work from anywhere), I said I wanted the perk, they said no problem, my boss was promoted, and the new boss didn't want to allow the perk. He made repeated comments to the effect that he wasn't comfortable having me on his team after I'd made a request that he wasn't willing to grant immediately. He also told me that, if the worst came to the worst, I would be transferred back to active consultant status rather than being fired, which didn't happen.
This won't change until speculation stops being the most common use case for crypto.

I'm not saying this way of gathering people's opinions is completely useless, but it has big flaws. Being against this sort of feminist initiatives can get you labeled all sorts of things in the best case, and cancelled in the worst case.

It's like making a poll in Russia about whether citizens support the invasion of Ukraine or not, when saying you don't like it is a criminal offense that can get you in jail. "I just went out and asked some people on the streets of Moscow whether they support bombing of Ukraine, nobody said no while a couple of them said yes, so they must really like that."
Sadly even a few top games not running on Linux is enough to keep most PC gamers off of Linux.
It's any valid question at all, it needn't be yes or no. Humans have, at minimum, red, black, brown, blonde, dyed, grey, white, and no hair. Learning what colour hair a person has eliminates the other categories.

The way to think about the information content of a problem or of something you learn is exactly what you're suggesting. If you numbered every living person on earth, it'd take more than 32 bits and not quite fill the 33rd bit.

If you then learn a person's gender, you can eliminate all the people with the incorrect gender, which is going to leave you either 31.x bits (assuming binary gender) or 25-27 bits of remaining entropy (assuming some non-binary gender and, say, a 1-3% incidence rate).

When the parent you're responding to says you get 3 bits for knowing someone plays chess, they're guessing that 1/(2^3) = 1/8 of people, in an undifferentiated sense, play chess. Of course if we knew someone's age or gender or country of origin, the conditional information value in knowing they play chess could be greater or lesser. And realistically no one is ever trying to identify a human among all humans (partially because it seems highly unlikely that there are many questions that could equally implicate the president of the United States and a six year old on the Marshall Islands in their answer). Each bit of information represents a halving of the entropy of the target surface.

I think you got to within 1 bit of the answer from first principles ;)
Lots of people have told me (not to me specifically of course) that paying for software was the magic thing that would rid software of ads. But isn’t Windows a payed-for product? It seems more likely that such organizations will do whatever they can get away with.

Another example is Spotify with their podcasts suggestions (that you can’t get rid of). Why would I, who is not from America, want to listen to the wife of a former American president?
You see a tool which doesn’t do all you want it to do and say it’s useless where it clearly can make the act of actually doing what you want simpler and faster. I don’t understand why you think it’ll do 100% if 80% is already good enough and very helpful to get the last 20% done.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence from 2001 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.I._Artificial_Intelligence) that was developed by Kubrick wasn't bad for the first two thirds of the movie. The ending is pretty bad, and Wikipedia tells me my bias (that Spielberg made it lame) is probably wrong.
There is an approach to use tmux inside tmux without using different set of keybindings. That's what I have been using for couple years and I really like the setup. I have the following binding in my local machine:

bind -T root F3 \
set prefix None \;\
set key-table off \;\
set status-left '#[bg=#C678DD,fg=#2C323C](pass-#S)' \;\
set status-style bg=#E06C75 \;\
set window-status-current-style bg=magenta,fg=black \;\
refresh-client -S;

bind -T off F3 \
set -u prefix \;\
set -u key-table \;\
set -u status-left \;\
set -u status-style \;\
set -u window-status-current-style \;\
refresh-client -S;

This way, pressing F3 in local machine disables the prefix and I can use remote tmux as if it is local. When I want to get to local tmux, I press F3 once and I am back to local tmux. I use highlighting to easily show that local prefix is disabled.
Sure. Buying drugs that ought to have been legal all along, for example.
It's possible. I'm similar to you in that I much prefer video podcasts. That might be due to almost always listening to episodes in front of my computer with full attention. I kind of like to avoid all forms of tech when I'm outside or doing other activities that could be compatible with listening to a podcast (driving, exercise, etc.).

Video is tricky with a new remote guest every week because their recording set up might be a little rough around the edges or it might make them uncomfortable to be on video. I do think video adds a huge element though. It also forces me to be less perfect because it's really easy to edit audio and you as the listener would never know. Most episodes have literally hundreds of cuts but you can't tell for most of them, but video is much harder to cut since you visually see the jump cuts.

Thanks for the suggestion!
