Everyone likes to give writing tips. What I have learned for for something as difficult as writing and as unpredictable as how people consume it and respond to it, is that there are no obvious rules beyond the basics like grammar and spelling.

What makes some writing successful and other writing not, is sometimes a coin toss. Or so many variables, who knows. Some people say to write simply or minimalistic, but others have had huge success with a more complicated writing style.

Writing is 80% preparation, 20% writing

Preparation is part of the writing process though. That is what editing is for.

Writing is hard for everyone

Curious, haven’t really thought about this before.

Seems like your observation is a strong sign that schooling and academia are run by people who’ve only worked in schooling and academia, which isn’t news obviously, but made more salient by an issue such as yours.
I have for many years BUT you have to pay Google to make it work. It used to be free but I guess it was abused too much for spam. Now you have to pay for Google workspace and it should work.
Lots of excellent references showing LLMs have rich internal models such as color spaces. Good argument meaning doesn't require "grounding" in perceptions (with citations).

> If masks don't work, then future lockdowns will be stricter

This only follows by granting certain huge assumptions which have never been well defended, first and foremost that lockdowns are effective over the long term in preventing eventual infection by respiratory viruses (the total failure of China's Zero COVID policies should have caused some reevaluations here, but alas).

> He seems really annoyed, but I'm not sure what by. What specifically did he think should have been done differently?

I personally know more than a few people who probably owe some apologies for calling anti-maskers "idiots," "selfish," "anti-social," and other grossly misinformed terms. Not making my young children wear useless scraps of cloth over their faces to attend preschool would have been good, too. And we should immediately end the ongoing mandates for masks in "healthcare settings" like doctors'/dentists' offices, hospitals, and the like.
No doubt there are some benefits to reducing light pollution, but I find it interesting how this topic gets HN in almost universal agreement that we need to ban street lighting and mandate people turn their home and office lights off, while suggesting that maybe we do something to slow the trend of mega SUVs or maybe mandating particulate filters on diesel vehicles is some kind of horrific authoritarian overreach.
Will do. Sounds like other folks on the thread feel the same way, and we’ll keep this in mind.
You can't forward email to Gmail - they'll blame your server for forwarded spam regardless of everything else being correctly set up. This is true to an extent for other providers, too.

The simplest solution is to set up IMAP on your mail server and have remote mail accounts fetch from it. Most email providers can be configured to fetch via IMAP.

You can think copyright as a flavor of bits, something that exists in it's own acid, along it's own axis.

infinite monkeys can't produce copyrighted content (as you can't for example copyright all cbinations of 8 notes and claim infringement on all future music) but distribution of their work can infringe on someone else copyright. You can take inspiration from their work to produce an original, if you put enough effort in it. That doesn't absolve the original of infringements of characters or other intellectual properties.
Ding ding ding! 4-day workweeks and (more recently, now that I'm more willing to set aside my quarrels with the interest-bearing capitalist system since my sole protest certainly won't be the thing to topple it) the FIRE (or LeanFIRE, BaristaFIRE, etc.) movement(s) resonate with me for exactly this reason: grinding myself to bits for 40 years in hopes I maybe get to have 10-20 years of retirement on a broken body and decaying mind in my 60s-80s is such a horrible bargain. I want my 20s and 30s for me: when I can still enjoy being alive.
It’s insane that the U.S. government are squandering this opportunity to force Starlink to provide internet to those without any other access at say 50$/mo. The government is giving the okay to deploy thousands of satellites and start a monopoly and in return we can’t ask for this basic right?
People have been providing free services in exchange for advertising revenue since the invention of the newspaper. And they’ve only just come up with this argument now? Something smells.
I can see both sides of the riskiness of studying the material before taking the course. On the one hand, a person who I see as highly accomplished person in mathematics told me that he did very well in his courses by pre-studying much of their material in the summer before they started, because he was both interested in the subjects and wanted to do well. But on the other hand, I also know of some people who took an introductory language course after previously studying the language, and received worse grades than people new to the language because they didn't put as much effort into the assignments as they didn't see the value (though they did well with minimal preparation for writing assignments).

I think it's better to pre-study, as if you go to the right university, you can take honours-level courses or enter more rigorous, challenging programs, which should still be challenging enough to engage you. Alternatively, if you don't like the challenge (though if you're the type of person to achieve that amount of self-study, you probably would enjoy it), you can take a more normal program and focus on more deeply learning the material over a longer period of time. With the higher grades from deeper learning, you can stand out and earn scholarships and grants to get practical experience by working in a professor's lab.

So, overall, I think it's better to pre-study if you can, as you can keep the benefits while minimizing the risk of boredom by finding ways to challenge yourself. Though in reality, the main issue for someone around 18 is that they might not even know about the risks of boredom, or how to challenge yourself in this way. Hopefully such people who are succeed in self-studying in advance, are around good people who can guide them to find ways to challenge themselves in a healthy way.
Interesting. I see a gotcha though:

> Validating an ARC chain only makes sense if the receiver trusts the ARC signers. In fact, an ARC chain can be counterfeited,[3] so ARC processing applies when receivers trust the good faith of ARC signers, but not so much their filtering practices.

Is there any documentation on how GMail and Hotmail onboard a ARC-using domain? Their documentation is very... sparse.

You clearly aren't going to take anything I say seriously with a response like that, so I'm not going to continue to engage.

Besides, my main point was that there are good faith arguments to be had, including the one argument I made in my original post. I hope you can see now that good faith arguments exist.
You’re reading both of those key statistics backwards. Household formation is the result of housing supply. The most noticeable outcome of the shortage is the suppression of new household formation. The fact that the homes per household ratio is similar to what it was in 2000, when the crisis was already well underway, doesn’t prove that we have enough homes.

The other stat should be read as an all-time low in construction completion. Houses under construction is a terrible thing to celebrate. They started more than they could finish with the labor and materials available. Not great.

> A basic cup of coffee is about $3.

Outside the anchor effect of comparing it to a $10 cup of fructose, $3 is an outrageous cost for a cup of coffee.

The anchoring effect is a cognitive bias whereby an individual's decisions are influenced by a particular reference point or 'anchor'. Both numeric and non-numeric anchoring have been reported in research. In numeric anchoring, once the value of the anchor is set, subsequent arguments, estimates, etc. made by an individual may change from what they would have otherwise been without the anchor. For example, an individual may be more likely to purchase a car if it is placed alongside a more expensive model (the anchor).

I am a child that did this. While for some it might be permanent, for others it can just be temporary - I moved back for a year while my father dealt with a terminal illness.

From my perspective, my mother can visit me just as well as I can her - I shouldn’t have to live by where she chose to live if it doesn’t work for me (and it doesn’t - the job opportunities stink and even if I did work remote, there is just a big cultural clash between me and that area). Once parents retire it is just as much on them to relocate close to me as it is I to them.

When I think about my desire to have children, I frame it in terms of them getting what they want, rather than sticking around like a pet.
>Good argument meaning doesn't require "grounding" in perceptions

Well, LLM's "meaning" IS grounded in perceptions anyway: the training data it was based on was created by people with perceptions, whose experience (and thus written output) was shaped and influenced by them. It's just second hand influence by perceptions experienced by someone else, and also not in a real time feedback loop (like with humans).
In scenario #2 the toxic waste still exists. Unmoderated forums are protected against liability even if CDA 230 is repealed. So 4chan will still be around.

Furthermore, distributing liability among your users is not a great idea. What will happen is that extortion enterprises will be created to sue people on our hypothetical old-web-of-trust. We know this because BitTorrent allowed Prenda Law to make porn, share it themselves to dox users[0], and then sue the people who downloaded or watched it. This scheme worked because copyright lawsuits are expensive to defend against, and defamation is no different. So everyone just quickly settled, which is why it took years for judges to catch onto this particular fraudster.

The only thing that keeps you from being sued for watching an infringing YouTube video is DMCA 512, which works almost[1] identically to CDA 230. Because it's a large centralized service, it's a juicier target, and people with legitimate copyright grievances can get things taken down from them. So nobody bothers to try and sue individual viewers.

Your #2 scenario only works if the Supreme Court is merciful and only kills recommendation systems. If CDA 230 is struck down entirely, you won't get to run a network-of-trust version of the web, because just hosting a public web server will require signing an indemnification agreement and posting a very large bond. In this scenario the Internet becomes more like cable, or perhaps a games console.

[1] 512 adds a notice-and-takedown regime because Hollywood wanted censorship powers over the Internet.

That reminds me of a story of western businessmen offering 50% more to local workers to get them to work more. This totally works in the US, where overtime pay can easily get workers to show up for extra shifts. The result here was they worked 50% less and were happy to take home the same amount.

Workers seem misguided in both cases, but it is clear that they had a totally different view and relationship to money.
So, like the Amish, but less extreme.

May conflict with the wordpress php function is_email(). [1]

According to W3Techs, WordPress powers 43% of all the
websites on the Internet, including those without a
content management system (CMS) or with a custom-coded
CMS. Or to put it another way, WordPress powers over
one-third of the web! And if you limit the data set
to only websites with a known CMS, WordPress’ market
share gets even more dominant.

In that case, WordPress holds a 65% market share
for content management systems on websites with a

In theory yes, but in the most populous states we also have large stamp duty taxes that get charged every time you buy a house that lock people in. For a $1 million house I bought this came out to ~$40k. In general people usually renovate their houses or stay inside houses that are way too big for them instead of moving into one that better fits them.

> "I think we have to accept that we poison everywhere we live, and strive to concentrate ourselves in a small enough area that the planet can tolerate us."

That may be true in a broader sense, but I think when it comes to outdoor lighting, it's a matter of changing the current prevailing policies that a lot of people don't like even if they're acting purely from selfish motives. I think the problem is that whenever you get a disagreement between someone who wants it dark so they can sleep and see the stars and someone who wants more light because they're afraid of crime or getting run over by a car at night, the latter almost always win.

There's some logic to that -- if someone's house gets robbed or you have a car accident the consequences are immediate and verifiable. If it happens a lot there'll be clear statistical trends. Whereas if someone can't sleep as well it's kind of a vague complaint that can be ignored, because the impact is spread out over the whole population and you can't really measure it. Everyone's lives are just a little bit worse and most people wouldn't even realize it or be able to recognize or articulate why. If you're a risk-averse mayor or president of the local HOA, of course you'd approve more lights, unless there's an organized effort to prioritize reducing light pollution.

Housing units/person is roughly the same as year 2000 too. Slightly lower, nothing that can possibly be asserted as a shortage. (which you had in your previous comment, but deleted for some reason)

Demographics matter a lot, yes, not just population. 5 year olds don't buy houses. Elderly dying sell their houses. But even using that number shows no shortage.

Thanks so much for your detailed response! This does sound very interesting!

If I may ask a few more questions, out of pure curiosity: What are, in your experience, the biggest challenges when it comes to frontend error monitoring from the point of view of a company / a developer using it? How can these be addressed? And what are good criteria to evaluate frontend monitoring services by these days?

(Obviously, you'll be biased here but that's alright. :))

EDIT: I should add: Obviously I've got some experience when it comes to frontend monitoring (though not a ton) and could – in theory – partly answer these questions myself. However, sometimes I wonder whether the problems we face in our day-to-day are the "correct" problems. (I.e. is everyone else struggling, too? How do other people solve their problems? How do other people choose their frontend monitoring solution?) Hence my curiosity.
There is also another figure, Nikolai Fyodorov. Fyodorov, one of the first transhumanists, was a major influence on Tsiolkovsky. Fyodorov believed in the eventual resurrection of all the dead through scientific means, and Tsiolkovsky shared his vision of immortality through technological advancement. Fyodorov's philosophy centered around the idea of "The Common Task," which he believed was humanity's ultimate goal of overcoming death and creating a perfect society. He saw science and technology as the means to achieve this, and his influence on Tsiolkovsky's work on space exploration is clear.

Fun fuct: Fyodorov himself wished to be resurrected by a future civilization, which is an idea that resonated with Tsiolkovsky as well. Both believed that humanity would eventually transcend its physical limitations and achieve a level of existence beyond what we can currently imagine.
OK, thanks, that pretty much is how I saw it. E.g. I definitely knew some FAANGs pay better than others (have heard from an Amazon recruiter straight up "We never lose people due to compensation"), but haven't heard of other companies paying more (unsurprisingly given the profit margins of the FAANGs).

Thus, I'm going to be a little skeptical when I hear about people taking higher paying jobs with more stability elsewhere.

This is an interesting thought. It sounds like your childhood was similar to mine. A big turning point in my life was finally realizing or accepting, at 15 or 16 years old, that it was OK to not be popular or be part of a big group of friends. It was OK to have just a few close relationships. It was OK to sit quietly by myself in the cafeteria during lunch and do my homework if my few friends didn't have the same lunch period. Ironically, I started to have more conventional social success after that, in addition to doing much better academically after a rough freshman and sophomore year of high school.

I've shared that advice with younger people, but not my own kids yet. I don't know if it helped, or if you can really teach that.
