When you look at the original quote [0], it doesn’t necessarily disagree. You’re free to test what happens when removing the code, and when it then breaks you’ll know why the code was there, and can then decide what to do. However, when everything still seems to work after removing it, that is dangerous, because you’re likely to overlook some edge case or some unconsidered use case that may come back to bite you later.

Of course, Chesterton’s Fence is just a guideline. You can weigh the risks against the benefits in each case. It’s just a reminder that there may well be very good reasons why some logic is in place. If it is at all possible to find out those reasons, then that would generally be preferable, in order to make an informed decision.

I hate to bring this information to the table but I have been recommended by two different people that live in Ohio that drinking a small amount of bleach in a tall glass of milk is a good way to pass a drug test you wouldn't otherwise pass.

There are absolutely people out there drinking bleach.
I feel like a mechanical version could be made which has a separate gear ratio for the middle of the operating spectrum.

Alternatively, for the traditional "hot/cold knobs" function, I don't see why a third pressure knob couldn't be added.

I could leave the hot and cold knobs turned exactly where I want them to be, with some arbitrary number dial helping for consistency, and I only have to turn the pressure knob to let the water start running.

I shouldn't have to spend $1500 for that.
> But at the same time, I only work 4 days a week, 28 weeks of the year, and those days I'm done at noon.

TBH I have no idea what number of "bullshit hours" I work, but I spend the vast majority of my time working on things I'd probably be doing anyways. I certainly think what I'm working on is more interesting than what I'd almost certainly be doing if I had accepting one of my TT offers.

> If it were, I think we'd see more people going this route, but I'm not aware of too many (well, any really). Can you point to anyone who has amassed a small fortune in industry and now is a successful independent researcher?

This largely depends on how you define success.

They certainly aren't doing things like putting together performance bonus packets or playing the peer review game, so if you look to things like bonuses/promotions or journal papers in prestige venues they're probably not "successful". But isn't the goal to get off the bullshit ladder? You don't really think the prestige publishing game is anything other than BS make-work, do you? ;-)

> It seems like the more popular route is to spend 1-2 decades amassing wealth and then just retire on that money.

Sure. If your version of "what i would do with a billion dollars" involves lots of slopes and beaches then why not? What's wrong with this?

> Or to invest it. You'd be what, 40+ at that time? That's a prime age for family rearing. The kids' college funds need to be swelling at that point.

I know a lot of folks from my PhD cohort who went this route and took Professor of Practice positions for their kids' college years.

> If you want to blow your family's nest egg at 40

Who said anything about blowing? The principal should continue growing, just a bit slower since you're spending some of the interest...

> At such a critical time in a family, who in their right mind would leave a lucrative career to be an independent researcher, a job path that is largely reserved for independently wealthy people.

A STEM PhD, after 10-20 years in tech or finance, IS an independently wealthy person... that's the whole point.
>I don't understand your point.

My point is simple: you are not being forced to live in a city.

It helped highlight the irrelevance and myopia of your post.

Your concluding sentence was "Rural living is for me". Do you see the connection now?

This is a thread about how some people make life more expensive for everyone because the world around them is changing and they want to use the government to stop it. This is a thread about development policy. Development policy does not make your backyard disappear. It is a question about whether you should ban other people from living in ways you don't personally enjoy.

>I was wondering what problems they solve. The fact that most people don't grow vegetable gardens is cherry-picking one example I gave of something you can do in a backyard but that you can't do in a park.

Why did you cherry-pick one example the poster gave about what he enjoys about living in a city and go off on a rant about all of the things you can do in a backyard but not in a park?

See how silly that sounds?

> Meanwhile, Gatsby Inc have created very powerful build and content orchestration tooling which is currently only available to Gatsby.js users. This acquisition will result in those capabilities being made available to any frameworks further helping all comers to the frameworks landscape.

This sounds ridiculous to me. The "powerful build and content orchestration tooling" of Gatsby Inc. is basically the same stuff that everyone else is doing in this space. This includes:

- The traditional Gatsby competitors (Vercel, GH Pages).

- Heroku, Fly.io and similar.

- Cloud-specific options such as AWS Amplify.
the people beating up anyone are the cultural underclass/proles, be it rural whites or ghetto blacks -- by definition these are not cultural elites.

Physical violence (and any indicator of physical needs- shelter, food, safety) basically signals 'cheap animal unit', and animals are useful tools to be managed by the machinery (of capital, patriarchy, globalism, blah blah etc whatever left or right wing flavor of 'power structure' you mentally choose to sketch it out, it's there churning, by whatever name you like)

you seem to confuse elite signaling and countersignaling with personal sufferings when in reality, both are exactly how it's supposed to go

The cultural machinery works thru contradiction and desperate elite mimicry, people trying to aspirationally sound like the class right above them, leading to tragedy of the commons, for example:

Rich women support bail reform/ islamic immigration/ transgender craze/ porn-culture that gets poorer women raped/ scared/ fired / cheapened, and that's the new feminism

Pragmatic feminists/terfs/lesbians/mom groups/anti-vaccers are the new witches to be burned as the purity test for desperate psuedo-middle-class aspirational women, supplying the cultural fodder content mill, while Republican women/Christian evangelicals make popcorn...

Abortion rights are a cheap voting lever, the more passionate you are the more the machine knows how to use you, people are putting their carrots and sticks in their bios, announcing the best ways to control them with a smile lol

Women in Iran and Afghanistan not allowed to go to school, that is defacto no longer a feminist issue but something something 'why not both' meme-mumbles by nonbinary mental illness connoisseurs.

Gays getting beat up by rural whites so they move to metropolis and work for the rainbow utopia of corporate America is exactly how the machine eats :)
This question sounds like you want to use Go and looking for justification :-).

To answer your question properly: I think programming language should be a financial choice for any company, and one of the highest cost factors is developer hours. All that i've described earlier is about optimising for developer hours.

If there's a nieche reason to prefer a language that may override all points i've described. For example, hardware support, availability of project-specific library, language preferences of customers, compliance requirements.

As for long term, i'd say 3-5 years is a tipping point, where maintaining PHP/Python becames more painful then just using Go. Probably a bit sooner for nodejs with the npm dependency hell. But i'd warn you about choosing Go due to planning your product to exist for more than 3-5 years. You'll almost certainly have multiple rewrites of your code before you get to a state where it actually lives for 5 years - if at all. Do yourself a favor and prototype in a quick language. Maybe even have your first versions out ugly and bodged. You'll have a chance to rewrite if and when you have customers and a working business model.

Lastly but most importantly, these are commercial considerations. For a non-commercial project, you should ignore these and optimize for developer-happiness instead. I like Go. I'd choose Go over PHP/Python/nodejs anytime as a developer. You should choose whatever you like the best. If you ask me, you should like Go the best :-)
I think it is. It has been pretty clear that GPT-2 was approaching human-level, but not yet "near human-level" after https://www.skynettoday.com/editorials/humans-not-concentrat... . And ChatGPT is way past that point.

In fact, I'd argue it might already be superhuman in the same way the Ocean of Solaris could be. Think about it. The Ocean can't drive or do arithmetic either. It is never shown that it evolves over time.

We support both typescript and python at windmill [1]. But our model is doing low-code for the workflows, and actual scripts/code for the steps themselves so it's quite different than trigger.dev. We handle OAuth, refresh tokens and secrets being managed by the platform. It's quite different from trigger.dev considering they are doing workflows entirely in code which has some pro and cons.

IQ is not a measure of low functioning or high functioning or “effective capacity”. I certainly have never claimed that it is.

I think many people put the onus of predicting success on measures of IQ, and most/all good IQ tests don’t claim to do this. There would be a face validity issue, and there are much better tests that can predict success (however success is measured) than IQ tests. I think that this is grossly unfair to IQ tests.

Will AI be able to do well in IQ tests? Maybe, but I don’t think that it will be relevant.

My stance has been and is that IQ tests measure the capacity to learn, extend, and expand on new topics (in humans). Nothing more, nothing less.

Some other points:

- IQ tests are not a measure of effectiveness. Many, many more variables go into that.

- IQ tests are biased, and pretty much have to be. That said, good IQ test designers try to minimize the bias for their target audience. I think that this has been more or less effectively done in the US for folks in the middle class or higher.

- Related, any give score on an IQ test should be seen as an IQ floor rather than an IQ ceiling. There are many reasons why someone may not score their maximum score (or even close to it) when taking an IQ test. Anxiety and fatigue are simple examples.

- IQ is correlated to income, but is this is a very broad correlation. Specifically, average income goes up with IQ up to about 135 or so (can’t remember the exact number) and then starts decreasing (possibly due to being in lower paid fields like academics, possibly due to social dysfunction). But these are all aggregated numbers. The individual results vary wildly within any narrow IQ band.

- As you alluded to, effectiveness and/or success is predicted by many other things other than IQ, and in many cases IQ may only be a weak predictor. IQ tests don’t claim to predict success. Things like social skills, socio-economic status, access to resources, physical health, and mental health can be much better predictors of effectiveness/success depending on the task.

- IQ tests are quite good at finding people at the extremes (very low and very high), but actually does a fairly poor job of differentiating folks at those ranges. On a personal level, I think the main use of IQ scores would be to identify these folks early and get them the resources they need.

To close, here is a decent article that discusses one view on how IQ and “success” are only loosely related:

> why not spend your own money for the things that make you and your life better?

Objectively, a few reasons:

- You can't afford it.

- Paying for it doesn't let you "own" anything

- It's not reliable

- It's legal compatibility is not fully decided yet

- It can preclude opportunities for learning and even teach you entirely false things under the guise they are true

The list probably goes on, but I don't think we should buy everything that stands to make our lives better. If we applied that logic to everything in our lives, we'd all use computers from Skymall and eat food we see on QVC.

Encasing in amber really only shields you from outside things. Those include chemicals (especially oxygen, oxygen is _very_ reactive), life (bacteria) and possibly some shielding against radiation (eg light).

Those do encompass a _lot_ of the reason that anything decays, but unfortunately it's not _all_ of the reasons things decay. And over millions of years, the remaining decay mechanisms are enough that you're really not going to have much/any intact DNA. It makes for a good story though.

That may be true. What we are discussing though is the illogical position that the author has that the buyback price is disrespectful while not feeling the initial sale price was disrespectful.

What's clear to me is that people have different learning rates and different need for personalized attention. I also would never argue with the assertion that some people have greater natural aptitude for specific things, meaning their ability to pick up the material at a standard pace without a lot of extra personalized help.

There's plenty of research showing that IQ exists and can be consistently measured, but I would hesitate to ascribe the learning outcomes in a higher-level math class directly to IQ. If assessing general intelligence were easy, we wouldn't need decades of psychology research on the topic. So I personally don't think we should be in the business of trying to assess how smart people are in general. Assessing attitude at specific tasks can of course be practical and useful.

That said, have you asked your colleagues for clarification on what they mean by "everyone can learn"? Are they talking about learning it on a hand-wavy pop science level (eg Numberphile), or learning it well enough to derive results and apply it in new problems? Do they have a timeline in mind for learning, or a specific context? Are you sure your colleagues are being dogmatic for fear of confronting uncomfortable truths, or are they just optimistic? Or have they forgotten that algebra is pretty esoteric and far away from what people normally deal with in their day-to-day lives, and might actually be a specialized topic that does require a bit of specialized natural aptitude?
Does dayz use DRM? My first thought is that they've got a false positive in their lie detector rather than that the Discord client somehow reaches into dayz and causes it to give "authentication state" errors.

Note that you can also use Discord just as a browser tab, dunno what the difference is with having a client as I've only ever used the browser version (and I bet the client is electron aka outdated browser under the hood anyway).
I don't agree. It's totally fair to disqualify some desires as less important than others. I think we all agree that a tyrants desire to be a tyrant isn't worth taking into consideration.

Someone selling wares don't usually desire selling wares. They desire income. Everybody wants income. Buying something we don't want/need is waste + redistribution of currency.

Redistribution of currency is a zero sum game unless we have some reason to particularly value the desires of the ones receiving. I don't see why we should particularly value the desires of landlords.

That was the entire point of my Sci Fi techothriller I never finished writing where the plot was the HST was a declassified KH-11 and to F the Soviets over we released the declassified HST with an intentional fault so the Soviet clone would be faulty. Its a win-win because the service mission to fix the HST made the right people on our side extra money, but the Soviets didn't have a working-enough space-truck to fix their clones of the HST/KH-11, and we were certainly not going to volunteer to fix their KH-11 clone for them LOL.

It was never going to be a good book plot so I gave up on it. Unrealistic that they'd steal "everything" including the intentional mistake. The idea of a double agent plot where "their guy" was actually "our guy" who made sure they stole the entire lot including the intentional grinding error was, um, cringy. In defense of my bad novel plot, I was young at the time, and I've read worse books.
