Good question. My take is that the elite mostly got their positions either by inheritance or by acting psychopathic. Bill Gates is heralded as a business genius but screwed over business partners and destroyed objectively superior technology. I think it would be better if leadership positions were allocated using lottery tickets. Existing structure only benefits the existing elite.
This sounds interesting! If you have time, could you share an example or two? What survival behaviours are you talking about, and what kinds of things do you do to decondition these behaviours?

Yes, the whole field has pretty much fallen to the replication crisis. The thing this article is complaining about is that "Science" magazine apparently has a section in which it uncritically repeats politically-fashionable junk science.
Less like a BLU-109 and more like a Death Star. Every offensive and defensive military tool will be utterly defeated. How do you fight against a cloud of self contained autonomous kill drones?

Just look at what is happening in Ukraine with cheap drones precision dropping charges into open tank hatches and foxholes, and those are only basic off the shelf human steered drones! What happens when they are given a brain and advanced robotic abilities?
I am glad you find it useful. You may not have heard of the app rcmd before but it works nicely with Stage Manager. Might be worth checking out as I found it make Stage Manager a lot more functional. https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/
This seems like an easy fix, re-release LISP with cleaner syntax. Lexers have come so far this seems like an easy fix.

I can't say i've ever read the opinion that LISP's syntax allows more expressive programming; rather LISP itself allows more expressive programming at the tradeoff of the syntax.
They didn't even have to legally mandate it, "suggestions" were made that certain particularly rabid newspapers would start publishing damning articles about which ISPs weren't filtering out paedophile material. Filters were essentially in place as far back as ~2007.
The GP is referring to the political costs of changing bad code, not the technical challenges which are almost always manageable by any experienced programmer. Egos, however.
EU don’t have the same kind of laws that don’t obey other countries laws as I am familiar with. So a solution would also be to move headquarters for Microsoft, Apple, Meta… to EU

So no, they would not get into trouble (if based in EU)
Exactly. Once the interview process selects for the same sort of people, the wheel turns all on its own.
As a contrast, this points out that Asians disproportionately were affected by Stanford's decision to cut varsity sports.[1] This resonates with the experience I have had.

I don't know if whites are generally the beneficiary of student athletic admissions policies at all elite schools although it is complicated because of things like decades old sports from before diversity was a concern and team size. I don't see Harvard cutting long successful teams just to appease non white people but then again they probably would. Also things like the men's football team have a very large roster of 100+ people.

I don't feel like your recognizing a ton of really obvious differences.

DNS is hardly a good shield for dealing with potential takedowns. It seems obviously true for a variety of reasons, including some mandated takedowns at the centralized DNS layer itself. Relays obviously allow a vault potentially infinitely replicated way means for unhosting that simply lacks many good modern parallels.

TornadoCash again seems radically different from anything we are talking about, simply because it is so heavily in the highly regulatory financial regime, in a way that Nostro simply isn't. The government never really had to step in; the threat of it maybe having to made everyone change their tune very fast. And there just were very very very few actual decision makers involved. Nostr is far more decentralized in practice, even though the number of users is much lower than cryptocoin stuff.

Elsewhere I've agreed that replacing GitHub is really really hard & long work, & I've pined for us to take smaller steps rather than make such big totalizing attempts. But I think you don't really grasp the unhosting ideas& advantage. And you seem unwilling to deem any attempt worth starting. At some point the feelings against big centralized social networks leads us to trying new things, but I mostly read fatalistic why try from your people-dont-want-to-host-things, even though Nostr's whole point is to make being a relay at small interpersonal scales reslly easy, without having to tackle the hard big-scale computing hosting challenges. And if your relay goes down,... so what? Your small unhosted network is there.

I do this. And what would help (hey google) is if gmail would remember I requested an unsubscribe and then offer to mark as spam 72 after my request to unsubscribe. As of now, I need to remember who all I tried to unsubscribe and when I get their email 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months later, I don't want to remember my unsubscribe list.
Very nice, did you hear the baby at the 400mph mark?
Agreed except the easily part. You need to even know that you can prep, and have some clue about prepping, along with quiet places at home or a library you can get to to do the work. Let's not make a lot of assumptions here.

The only exception I can think of are the temporarily poor; e.g. refugees from Southeast Asia or Africa whose families were well to do back home and still have that familial knowledge even if they are currently lacking in money.
it might never make it, depends on where you live. where I live, they were banned because must accept cash, and they can't sell things like booze because id checks, so you end up having a bunch of humans around anyway, which kind of defeats the purpose of installing hundreds of cameras and other expensive systems.

>Our findings reveal that when organizations hire employees from other, unhealthy organizations (those with a high prevalence of mental disorders), they “implant” depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders into their workforces. Employees leaving unhealthy organizations act as “carriers” of these disorders regardless of whether they themselves have received a formal diagnosis of a mental disorder. The effect is especially pronounced if the newcomer holds a managerial position.

This sounds sort of like victim blaming to me. I've worked in a couple of bad environments and felt outright relief when I was able to go somewhere much better.

The answer is to do away with toxic work environments, not blame the person who suffered under them.
There’s another concern: repository bloat.[1] Ts'o does not want this link to be a mandatory part of the final commit which everyone needs to get on every pull.[2]

His own proposal does not necessitate keeping “history blobs” around: just use Git commit metadata (trailers) and leave the pointed-at data (beyond the cherry-pick backlinks) in an external store like Gerrit.

I think other commenters who suggested no-changes-to-core-git solutions might have mentioned git-notes, which is similar to the external store point since git-notes are completely optional refs (i.e. if you have notes on your commits in your tree then no one else needs to know about it; those who want the metadata can fetch it, those who don’t can save their bandwidth).

[1]:

> If the complaint about Gerrit is that it's not a core part of Git, the
challenge is (a) how to carry the code review comments in the git
repository, and (b) do so in a while that it doesn't bloat the core
repository, since most of the time, you don't want or need to keep a
local copy of all of the code review comments going back since the
beginning of the project.

[2]: I’m guessing that people who want a “replaces” link would also want to make it optional. Keeping in line with the best-of-both-worlds mantra.
I would say it's a lot more disruptive to leave someone incompetent on the team and let everyone else make up their work instead of building a solid team.

> Amazon lists lockers in buildings with controlled access as drop off points as well. It’s up to you to confirm you have access to the locker.

I don’t think this makes the point you think it makes.

> If you need an app to enter that store and you need to enter the store to return an item, then it’s pretty clear you need an app to return an item at that store.

“Excuse me, you need to install the app on your phone to enter the store”, the store manager said to the paramedic responding to a call of an unconscious senior citizen on the floor of the Amazon Go store.
This post isn’t excusing Chinese actions towards Uighurs, but is heavily critical of anti-Chinese criticisms of their Uighur policy.

Note that Uighurs are majority Muslim and they aren’t all being exterminated (certainly some are), but the primary efforts seem to be making that region and ethnicity much more similar in culture to Han-Chinese. It rings of the “white genocide” and “Jews will not replace us” slogans.

The Chinese government seems to use the 9/11 style “we are monitoring them so they don’t become radical Islamic terrorists”. The government efforts are to destroy practice of Islam, to restrict / deter the spread of Islam and criticisms of the government.

Interestingly the most anti-Chinese people in the US are the ones with the biggest intersection with these policies and claim the US is doing the exact same thing to them.American Christians who claim they aren’t able to practice their faith in the US, while simultaneously insisting that the US is a Christian nation, that Islam shouldn’t be practiced in the US, that Islam creates terrorism, that civil liberties should be rolled back in the efforts to reduce terrorism, and insist that Islamic Sharia law is endemic in the US.

American Anti-Chinese sentiment of the social type seems like a cry bully. There are some far more valid criticisms of the wider social controls and economic policy in China.
Yes, I'd be curious to know if they identified perpetrators vs victims of toxic workplaces. Someone who is leaving Blizzard because of a scandal where their assaulting other co workers became public is extremely different from someone leaving Blizzard because their manager assaulted them.
Because there is no safety net otherwise.

also, wages (and respect) for employees are already limited, and the lower down the "totem" pole you are the worse it gets. parents don't want to imagine such a scenario, even if they have moved to the US where despite everything, things are still much better, minimum wage wise.

What’s interesting is how many of the complaining apps want to spy on their users.
Because if they do they'll probably get in trouble. There are cameras everywhere being monitored by computers and the incident will definitely be flagged somehow. If you steal something, then it's even worse. Why would they risk that? I think that's a minor issue with their drop off listings, which I suspect they will eventually fix.
It's a grave mistake to ignore sex differences and dangerous when this ignorance is institutionalized. While people can be wrong about what those differences are exactly or may exaggerate certain differences in some respects or even go so far as to take a chauvinistic view, it is also possible to go to the other extreme and downplay or deny them altogether. Ideological framing and anti-intellectual misrepresentation can enable dismissive attitudes about these differences (which, frankly, are essentially beautiful and complementary and the basis for much of human dynamism). I think our understanding of men and women has suffered greatly under this infantile ideological pressure and the result is misery and disorientation.

How is this relevant? It is relevant because these sex differences influence what each sex contributes in this complementary relation. I mean this in a general sense as the particulars will be affected by circumstance. These differences affect what each sex seeks to provide and what each sex is drawn to. One does not desire what one already has. In this respect, it will not be surprising to find that unemployment or part-time employment will affect men differently than women. Men relate differently to people than women do. Women have a strong tendency to love regardless of merit while men tend to have a strong need to earn respect. A man without a job is, in most cases, going to be synonymous with a man who is aimless and has feelings of worthlessness. (This is why rich kids often become profligate, deranged, and depressed. Aimlessness, indolence, softness, helplessness, and self-absorption. Selfishness is the loneliest of states; only in living selflessly for the good of others in concrete ways and through self-sacrifice, forgetting about ourselves, are we liberated from the prison of selfishness.) This is going to affect his relationships, including his martial relationship. These sorts of men are more likely to wallow in self-pity, scapegoating (therapy is often a great way to obsessively blame one's parents, for everything), and self-destructive and hedonistic pursuits which further damage their ability to relate properly to women as human beings and in healthy ways to people in general. They are also dangerous because these alienated men are more likely to find appeal in ideologies of hatred, violence, and scapegoating.

Incidentally, this is one reason why UBI would be a terrible idea. Jobs are supposed to be ways in which both a family is served and the community is served. That's how we find purpose. For men, taking away their jobs is a way of ensuring their alienation from community, their sense of meaninglessness, and their aimlessness. It would deny them the ability to be who they are: men. There is a reason why so many retirees, especially men, have shorter lifespans than those that continue to work in some capacity.
I did wonder what that sound was!
I think any company who uses this study as hiring criteria is or will become one of the companies causing the problems.

> "What could they do to circumvent this?" - "Import it by proxy" - "okay, we should make sure that's banned"

> Instead, it's "wow, who could've known?!"

I don't know how to read this any other way. Enforcing sanctions properly is something the EU has struggled with (https://dgap.org/en/research/publications/strict-and-uniform... gives an example of DPRK collecting hostel revenue in Berlin for years with no penalties ever administered), but that is different from saying that "import by proxy" is was unknown and not banned.
If you could see the future that works, but I just don’t see how you know what will be used for nefarious purposes in the future.

In fact most technology does both negative and positive things. It’s not obvious banning it completely will be a net positive. Especially with AI. There’s a lot of potentially great uses. Like detecting cancer on CT scans.

And why would they want that? Author doesn't provide any reasoning about it.
We did.

But that was after I received a SPAM email saying "Welcome to our newsletter" in my personal GitHub account when I wasn't part of that audience.

You can see my interaction with someone from our team here: https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal/issues/1625... - When we realize what had just happened.

We immediately deleted that audience (which was our plan all along anyway), but then it was too late, we were trending on HackerNews and Mailchimp pinged us after. After that it was mostly damage control, as there's nothing we could have done to make things better.
I'm fit (2000-4000km distance per yer, multiple sports). But I would never bike to work/train for longer than 5 minutes. I sweat too much (armpits, feet). And taking spare clothes/shoes, and showering in the office is too much.
Cram schools exist for a reason. You can get lots of help on the ACT/SATs, heck, they even offer it in China.

Grades and extra circular can be gamed as well, but you have to do a lot more planning ahead of time...like you can't just start 6 months before a test date and maybe try again 6 months after that. You have to start form late elementary school and be consistent up until 12th grade.
I think you’re a bit confused. Alignment researchers are the ones saying it will likely be impossible to box a superintelligent AI and that this is one small part as to why this whole AI alignment thing is hard in the first place. They are precisely working on the problem because there seems to be no easy solution like boxing the AI. And so they need to find a way to make sure the AI is aligned with our values even if the AI has the capability of escaping any box we put it in. In reality, companies will not even try to box the AI so it’s probably irrelevant.
Tragedy of the well-heeled commons.
Homework being worth 20% is dumb for school.

Besides I worked the entire time in college to pay for college. Being penalized because I don’t have time to do homework without which I can’t pay for school helps nobody. I don’t think I ever got anything lower than a B on an exam, and nothing lower than A on a final/midterm/project.

And yeah, homework is for people who need it. Work and school are totally different one you’re learning the other you’re utilizing what you learned. Having homework be worth anything more than maybe 5% is stupid. I’m not getting paid to do homework, in fact I am paying to even learn.

People do homework and still fail. So what’s the point of homework?
Unfortunately we are now in a situation where there will a trailing legacy for the next 30 years of people who went through the university system and have been indoctrinated to believe there is only the one correct opinion on any given topic.
I just checked one of the best "online-first" technical books I can think of, "Crafting Interpreters" by Bob Nystrom, because it uses side notes heavily. What it does when the screen width is narrow (like on a phone) is move the side notes to the main flow, but in a smaller font size and separated with horizontal lines to set them off.

It does break up the flow a little bit (which is why they're side notes in the first place), but at least they're clear and obvious. And this book's side notes are often quirky and interesting -- definitely worth reading!

Example: https://craftinginterpreters.com/the-lox-language.html
This is counterfactual: the GP describes someone who was unemployed. We have no particular reason to believe that an unemployed video-game-addicted investment banker would fare any better than an unemployed video-game-addicted not-investment banker.

Requirements change. I need a function that takes the same input, but the output is no longer valid. But I can't look at this "incredible pure function" and figure out how to do that.

My most precious personal data are my family pictures. I protect them with par2. These are basically checksums for your files, but they provide so much added information that you can also repair your files if they are damaged.

Once I coded a shell script that verified all my photos, but I don’t bother with that anymore. I just back everything up, and if there’s ever a problem, the parity files provide an additional safety net.
This, and going sideways really really fast is the way. The highest I've seen is 1500mph.

> And with it turned everyone into a device driver developer

Which is what graphics developers wanted.

The problems with OpenGL and DirectX 11 were that you had to fight the device drivers to find the "happy path" that would allow you the maximum performance. And you had zero hope of doing solid concurrency.

Vulkan and DirectX 12 directly expose the happy path and are incresingly exposing the vector units. If you want higher level, you use an engine.

For game developers, this is a much better world. The big problem is that if you happen to be an application developer, this new world sucks. There is nowhere near the amount of money sloshing around to produce a decent "application engine" like there are "game engines".
I've made this proposal several times: judge an applicant by his/her delta relative to their cohort. For example (highly simplified) a kid from a wealthy family in a nice neighbourhood statistically scores 70% on average, if he scores 80 that's a +10. A kid from a poor single-parent household going to a dilapidated school where scores are 40% on average, if he scores 70 that's a +30.

Very rough example but the idea is this. Philosophically/ethically, it seems better. But practically as well: you want to admit the students most likely to excel if given the high quality resources at your university. Among a kid with all the comforts and private tutoring and all that, and a kid who rose way above his shitty lot in life, wouldn't the latter fit that description better?
> I wish the obsession with top-tier colleges would go away.

Until the ceiling of utility goes away the obsession wont go away.

If your goal is to climb the corporate ladder, all schools have nearly the same utility. Maybe industry specific, but I contend that its not different enough.

If your goal is to skip the corporate ladder, only top tier schools get you in the room. And only if the pedigree is used in very specific ways. Still not a silver bullet by any means.

But not being there is basically the same as having no ammunition.
Just out of curiosity: is a similar problem (generate a valid public key that surely nobody including myself can know the private key of) solvable for RSA?
I mostly agree about the movie, though I'm impressed by how it makes us see how he honestly thinks of himself as the hero who does What Needs To Be Done in secret.

In the real world, I think more about the CIA and it's sister organizations across the world, who routinely and lawlessly assassinate people and many other deeply illegal things. I wish the world wasn't like that. But it is.
