Yeah this, if I want to know how many chapters are there in a game, I have to real an entire article telling me useless stuff before I can get the info I want. Witj ChatGPT I can avoid this. I would say most of my Google searches were for answering questions, not to find articles related to a topic.

The article overlooks that "ads" goes beyond just ads on the search results page. Ads is the main problem, in the form of Google's business model which dissuades them from actually improving search result quality.

Spam/SEO/etc sites are very easy to detect - use the presence of ads, analytics, affiliate links, newsletter signup forms, etc as a negative ranking signal, and the problem will be resolved quickly. This can't be evaded, because the same techniques used to evade search engine detection would be abused by ad fraudsters.

The reason they don't do that is that those spam sites help Google in multiple ways - not only do they increase engagement with the search result page ads (the ads might actually be better than the "organic" but spammy results), but the ads/analytics on the spam sites are likely to be Google's which helps them too.

This would not be a problem with any search engine whose incentives are aligned with the users' (Kagi has a "non-commercial" feature for example that I suspect roughly implements the above).
Is shaming did anything that would be true. But it doesn't.

Imagine a fairly young but successful plumber dying suddenly. If their family was relying on them for income their exclusive rights to sell their labor shouldn't just end immediately on their death - that could really screw people over.

And it does. To migitate that and other similar circumstances this we have social safety nets. What is it with this expectations that not just authors of creative works but also their descendants should have this special ability to profit from their labor long after it was performed.

Meanwhile every company "selling" digital content wants that content to be bound to a single living person and go poof once that person does.

Sorry if I came across differently, indeed I don't think any of these are unsolvable or inherent with public transport. The Netherlands and Germany each have strengths (the former a more convenient and reliable system in cities; the latter better service on the countryside), so clearly it can all be done.
Literally anything google values will be abused and ruin the internet. If they valued shortness then everything would be trimmed to bullet points removing useful info.

The problem is really not that google is doing a bad job, it’s that the incentives to get views on pages ruins the internet.
Much more advanced versions of it exists, and has existed for a long time, for example Kakuro is before computer games. Magic sum is just a special case of it. Finding a discussion with those exact rules are probably a bit hard, search engines aren't good at searching for that, but given how common these games are and how many game design discussions and ideas there are online, a game where "block out these numbers to make these sums" is surely to exist somewhere. The poster above even found the exact same game, although that wasn't described in text, but someone probably described it in text somewhere.

In the German market for any product related query where you want a product comparison or test, you get results from 2 companies, which are in the business to place multiple very well SEO optimized pages on popular high quality websites (mostly newspapers).

i.e.:
https://www.welt.de/vergleich/stabstaubsauger/
https://www.krone.at/vergleich/staubsauger-test/
https://www.stern.de/vergleich/staubsauger/

These pages are in all regards very well created, they strike all SEO best practices, have zero affiliate links (as they are hidden behind javascript) and fulfil all SEO content quality guidelines. And are constantly updated.

And they are in all regards, SPAM. Always the same rotation of products get recommended, and win these "tests".

They are so widespread and this is going on for years, as Google clearly must know about this. But they choose to do nothing about them. Probably as they are looking for an algorithmic solution. Well, it does not work.

And Product search for popular every day technical products has become unusable for years now.

Google must have become a deeply dysfunctional company to let this go on for so long.
That's a typical INTP / type 5 enneagram brain wiring. I'm exactly like this.

The real issue for us is first time impressions. If people knew you before because of something important you've done, they will respect you. Otherwise, you'll fail to impress in the most important time: the first impression.

It took me a long time in my career & expensive coaching sessions and so on, to understand that I really need to work my ass off for my first impression, even more that I don't give ChatGPT-like responses to everything (lots of confidence, but just plainly wrong).

Of course, if I can just use my credentials to give an initial impression, that's better. But that's not usually the case. When it isn't, I need to be very present and aware that "it's my first impression, no need to be so precise, just say something silly and light-hearted.", because that's what most people typically expect.

I started to find examples of people who dealt with this very well, like Steve Jobs and other people that are known to make long pauses and to think before they say something. But even those people aren't a great examples, because they generally are known to be geniuses at their fields and this basically makes your audience want to listen to you.

You just really need to work on that skill, or accept that it will hamper your progress in life.
That's because you're just unaware of how astroturfed it is.

I just headed over to one of the popular subreddits and randomly picked an account that posted a top meme

https://www.reddit.com/user/esberat/submitted/

The account has 8 million post karma and every single post it submits to a subreddit ends up on the front page of Reddit... without fail.

The account isn't a mod of any of those subs, but they're clearly using upvote manipulation to get every single one of their posts to the front page.
There's nothing wrong with a sub banning/censoring people. That's a critical part of having a trust value within a social network and if moderators of a popular sub don't think a poster is meeting the bar to post it is good for them to ban it and become higher trust. If they go too far than there won't be content on the sub at all though.

For instance /r/AskHistorians has a very high bar for posting and threads are commonly removed. As a result (and because they still have posters that meet that bar), the sub is considered very high trust. Some other subs anybody can say anything and I go so far as to filter the entire sub out so I never see it again.
I would add a "3." that Google has less incentive than they used to to fix it.

If they can supply enough relevant ads,"rich snippets", shopping widgets, or links to content they pulled from wikipedia (that keeps you surfing google-owned properties)...the organic search results don't matter.

Actually, if the organic results are low quality, then maybe you're more likely to use the content above. So the organic content optimal quality is just "better than Bing", but worse than the ads.
This thing is just amazingly cool and clever. I am curious if this was a critical piece of capsule instrumentation or more of an onboard backup? I have no idea how Russian space missions are run so it’s not clear to me how much is done at their equivalent of ground control vs. what is done on board.

In particular I am wondering about that landing mode.

Same here, I switched from Rails to Phoenix a few years ago and have never looked back. It solves so many of the frustrations I had with Rails and I love the Elixir language and the community around both.

There was a little bit of a learning curve; Elixir's syntax looks like Ruby but the underlying philosophy of the languages is really quite different so it does take some getting used to, especially if you haven't worked with a functional language before. But it wasn't that bad; it's much more accessible than the other functional language I've dabbled in (Haskell).

If I was starting a business the main thing that would put me off choosing Elixir would be the relatively small number of people who know it. If you want to have a lot of Elixir programmers in your company then you'll probably need to be willing to hire people people who don't know it yet but want to learn. But I hope this will change as Elixir keeps growing in popularity.
I'm not very familiar with Nix but Dune is a build system not a dependency manager. You would need it regardless.

I guess my assumption is that measuring cognitive ability is better than specific skills. The algo interviews, when done well, do that better than interviews focused on experience.

There are of course a lot of caveats - experienced candidates should be treated differently from entry level. It’s also true that, e.g. Google has a weird fetish about dynamic programming questions and other problems that people are unlikely to figure out without having taken a class in them.

On the other hand, take home assignments take up time and room you might not have. It’s easier to do those when you’re a man in a developed country than, e.g. a single mother in Alabama.

So its basic, I think algo interviews are a good way to hire junior level engineers.

An infinite loading animation and similar things are very ambiguous. Is my wifi connection bad right now? Is the OS acting up because I haven't rebooted the device in two months? Is a server down/unreachable? This wide range of possibilities is very frustrating because it often means you have a long, unsuccessful troubleshooting session ahead.

Who cares if you are the grandson of a national socialist.

Refrain from babbering your personal feelings and abstract thoughts as if they were historical facts. There is NOTHING of abstract with socialism when it comes to implementation. Either nationalistic or international socialism ends up with the same bloody/corrupt result in the end.
I think it is time to stop being nice and treating the entire search results page as ads for every single query. Even if you have an adblocker, the more nefarious ads are still there, the ones masquerading as useful articles that have been SEOed to the top.
Future employment opportunities in the industry, often forces whistle-blowers to have to retrain and work in other sectors.

David Icke blew the whistle on himself on live TV and now look at him. Society wont let him out of the hole that they forced him to dig!

Market forces, peer pressure, reputational damage, all the things whistle-blowers will have to contend with for the rest of their life, and all because someone exploited a vulnerability in David Icke in a legal seemingly harmless, if not "bit of fun" way.

And whilst news outlets are not future tellers, they still employ the same legal tactics to get their story, casting the whistle-blower into the gutter once the story has run its course and made some people a little bit richer.

There is also a darker side to whistleblowing, it can put your life on the line as others have found out. Project Fear is the ultimate control mechanism in so many ways.

Yes to all of this. It's something British businesses have traditionally been bad at, recognizing and developing the skills and knowledge of their staff, but it looks like Brompton are setting an extremely good example here.

I suspect they're also small enough that this kind of thing is easier to do without politicizing within the organisation; you can have individual line workers talk to the CEO. It's also an unusual corner of skilled "mass-custom" manufacture: rather than turning out millions of identical bikes, they turn out thousands of bikes to millions of slightly different specification combinations.

That's often true. Individual subreddits may filter new accounts or low-karma thresholds to prevent spam. The better subreddits will simply flag it for manual review rather than remove it outright.
Once again, to show that’s one thing is blatantly copying another thing, you kind of have to show that thing exists already. Kakuro is also a similar game with its own unique rules that only somewhat overlap with this one.

It’s not enough to say “a lot of games with similar rules exist” and if anything, that just shows that a generative AI is good at what it does: break down the rules of a game and make modifications to make what is potentially a new game.

If you can show an example of this exact game having existed for centuries, then you have a point. But showing that magic squares and similar games exist… just shows that magic squares and similar games exist, not that the algorithm incorrectly said this is a new game.

Thanks for elaborating on this, now I understand your thoughts. I wanted to write a longer answer, but life got in the middle. So I'll just say:

If rust devs do not want to add a specialization or traits for this feature and wait for the Right Thing it is fine. It is such a niche (get it?) requirement that it is not worth polluting the standard library.

But if you really need it as an user, I don't think the trait solution is an hack at all. I don't see specialization as an hack in general and in fact is important for writing efficient code.

Ideally you would be able to encode every possible property of your program elegantly and generically in the type system while keeping the language lean, fast and easy to understand. In practice at any point in time only a language will only have a finite subset of features and an user can't wait forever for the language to reach perfection. Any 50+ year language will necessarily accumulate cruft. Embrace it. Worse is better.
I was thinking the same thing. Everybody is so desperate to ship features fast that any hint against it triggers a mob with a bloodlust.
Also note that it's super easy to configure postfix (and likely others) to send all outbound email via a third party service.

I personally use smtp2go.com, and was on their free tier for ages (now upgraded via work). Can recommend, as it "just works" and avoids all the mucking around with SPF/DKIM/etc.

Oh, on a similar note, definitely avoid Sendgrid if you want to send email via a third party. They're outright blocked (as a spam source) by way too many places to be considered reliable any more. :(
I want to be honest, everyone is different and has different context.

A close friend of mine was doing her PhD in nutrition science (or something like this) and asked me to review her work from a math (especially statistics) aspect.

I started to read it but it was so bad that I could not go on. I told her to get someone from her field because I am too traumatized to read that and if she takes my input into account she may well need to rewrite the whole thing.

I was at her defense and some people asked questions about the statistical part, but the level was "how do you calculate the average".

This worries me a bit because as far as the topic is concerned, statistical mistakes about Middle Ages in France are sad but that's it - but mistake sin nutrition or pharma can be worrisome. In her case that was quite esoteric so no risk for anyone but generally speaking I now do not trust any numbers I cannot analyze myself.

Low resolution also means less computing and less energy, so lots of portable devices will have it for a long time.

I have an idea: a search engine where a team of humans adds what website they deem important and also ranks it. Website owners who aren't in the index and want to submit their site, pay a small fee.

The result would be no SEO, no content farms and highly relevant content. I don't think the algorithms and even AI will ever keep track with people who try to game the engines for profits.

And in any case you completely side-stepped addressing my point that any violence that results from Western hysteria (as you put it) lies squarely at the feet of China. China alone will be responsible for the deaths that result from a forcible invasion of Taiwan. China will share bloodied hands with Russia if they sell arms to Russia to advance its crusade of terror.

I'm pretty sure this kind of thing has been done before, at least very lofi images. Maybe not in "high-resolution", but I really question the scientific value of doing so.. it must necessarily be hallucinating details, similar to the common criticisms of upsampling networks. There is no way we are reading brain activity at sufficient details to reconstruct a "true" image directly from the data without a lot of inductive bias. There isn't even evidence that such data exists. (that at the lowest level brain activity actually corresponds to image-related detailed information). The most we have afaik is proof that certain neurons in the optical pathways respond to certain types of lines. I'm interested in being corrected on this point. But roughly inverting some relationship with random seeds of a generative network sounds like pretty iffy methodology to me. At most it's probably categorizing the brain activity and generating a random image based on that. (still cool of course! I'm just doubting that the high resolution images contain information that really reflects brain activity, that fact that this is possible is still a neat trick)

I'm basing this criticism on the linked Vice article though, haven't read the paper yet admittedly.
