While we should absolutely investigate the issue, it’s only one dimension of the education experience. Missing an education and/or the social learning of school can have negative effects that only show up later in adult life.

An uneducated 10 year old may be happy to avoid school all day, but a 30 year old who was never properly educated is most likely going to have a very bad time for the rest of their life.

Trying to shelter kids from every possibly negative feeling, including before it happens, is a natural parenting impulse. However, overly sheltering kids from potential difficult experiences usually leads to much worse outcomes in adulthood.

Definitely address any depression issues if they come up, but trying to prevent kids from ever experiencing any challenging situations will not be beneficial in adulthood.

Manhood is a cultural construct as much as whatever your culture considers 'purpose'. Both can and have been defined a variety of ways. Fundamental biological drives and evolutionarily stable strategies are one input, but certainly not the only one. As food is abundant today it's even less critical a factor than it once was.

So let's drop all the social shaming and chest thumping. It benefits few and breeds discontent among the masses who didn't win the genetic lottery.
This is a fun read and nice taxonomy that I largely agree with...right up until the end when he seemed to want to make a separate category for online warriors that say things he agrees with more frequently. It's amazing how blinding intellectual pre-commitment can be.

I was going to post this on another thread (the Neal Stephenson one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35015121), but it also fits here: Donald Knuth does all his writing (even coding!) by hand with pencil on notepad, going through several rounds of editing before anything reaches a computer, and his stated reason is that he can type faster than he can think. (Somewhere a typing speed of 80 wpm is mentioned, which is not even all that fast.) So he says that writing by hand, being slower, perfectly matches the speed at which he can think. In other words, he describes himself as a slow thinker.

(We can actually get some glimpses of the way he thinks from his public lectures, e.g. I love the 2017 Christmas lecture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxQw4CdxLr8 or maybe—I haven't watched much—the 1985 problem-solving seminar course https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLABJEFgj0PWW9fQwb8JVD... .)

And if Knuth describes himself as a slow thinker, it is a lesson to us all.

I don't think "Move Fast and Break Things" should apply to biological experiments on living organisms (least of all humans). Supposedly this company has already shown a disregard for their animal test subjects in order to "move faster" by running experiments side-by-side, rather than in series (which would have allowed less total subjects, and harm reduction).

So, good job FDA, keep blocking it until they get their act together.

The Covid That Wasn’t: Counterfactual Journalism Using GPT
Take two people:

Person 1 responds with the first thing that comes to mind. They have not considered alternatives.
Person 2 considers a range of alternatives, and gives an answer.

If person 2 takes longer, they’re not doing the same thing person 1 does, but slower. They’re doing more productive work, spread over a longer time.

In various situations, I’d rather hear from person 1 or person 2.

> You're saying he actually thinks fast but doesn't get around to thinking for a while?

This is another possibility. If I just pause before speaking, I may be paying a fixed latency cost. I take 2 seconds to do what you do in 1 (100% overhead—shocking!), but I take 31 seconds to do what you do in 30 (~3% overhead, who cares?).

If he really does think slowly, it means he takes a day to answer your question and gives you the answer someone else would give in 10 minutes. That’s bad.

Tests are useful as spaced repetition, and spaced repetition is good for remembering. That students may not remember a specific test a year later doesn't seem relevant. Time limits are necessary because everything is time limited, even when applying this knowledge in a job, and if you're struggling to finish in time, then that indicates areas that need work.
That’s my plan going forward. I’m in my first role as a self-taught engineer, so my network is still small. A coworker I worked closely with and had a great experience referred me to this company, so I went through with the process. Initially, the recruiter sent me a 2 hour take home leetcode challenge, which they waived after I responded I was surprised that they required an initial coding challenge for a referral.

It’s hard for me to tell which companies require those style of interviews, but I’m not working in the Bay Area and have found when applying to positions remotely there, they seem to have a much greater emphasis on leetcode than companies in my area.

How do you know the first impressions people have are negative based on speed of response?

I'm often slow to respond and make no effort to change that on first impression, but I have been told - many times - that people view me as thoughtful and intelligent.

I can't view myself from another's perspective but if you take 5 seconds to come up with an answer which is really good, most people seem to completely forget the 5 second silence and remember the good answer. As you would expect.

Many people's quick replies are poor quality, so a high quality reply stands out. This does assume someone can identify the difference, but hopefully you're in such an environment.
I think the biggest problems are with untested code. If you have tests for all your code paths then its less of an issue. If you have code paths that are not tested then it's quite easy to have typing issues in those code paths. In my experience this is a big problem with error handling and also with `with` statements since when you are using a `with` statement there is an implicit branch for every statement in the `with` block. People are probably not going to be writing a test for every single statement short-circuiting a `with` block and its likely to be the `error` path so it's quite easy for something with the wrong type to escape the `with` block.

I also think there is this trap of using unnamed tuples and unnamed maps in the code instead of Structs. I suspect this is fine for a small team and a small code base but if you have a large codebase then it makes it harder to familiarise yourself with the code quickly. Having functions where you can't easily see the types of the inputs and the outputs is not ideal, but once you work out what they are its worse when they don't have names. Of course there are `specs` for this but if you are writing `specs` then what is the point of a dynamic language. I don't really see the advantage of writing specs and not having the compiler do any checking vs writing type definitions and having the compiler check everything is sound.

For what it's worth, Chrome already supports RTX Super Resolution on videos and an early review[0] seems to indicate that it's hardly an improvement.

> Our attention is the only valuable thing left. Browsers run competing tech stacks and pile on and draw off a mass of blinking things trying to get the attention. It's a tiny little war happening in real time on our screens.

This seems fantastically counter-productive though. If you want to capture someone's attention, you've got to remove the distractions and clean up your presentation. The effort seems misplaced to focus entirely on drawing attention at the expense of maintaining it.
This is why I can’t do meetings. Like the article, all I end up saying is “I don’t know.” I get battered into agreeing with the other person in the meeting because I can’t debate with them off the cuff, and it’s like social interaction uses up 100% of my brain and leaves nothing for me to think with. I only ever manage to form an opinion after the meeting is over, or I end up not hearing 90% of the meeting because I was still thinking about something from the beginning of it. If you ask me a question verbally and expect an instant answer you’ll end up wondering whether I’ve even seen a computer before. It sucks.

First impressions are important, but there's a lot more to them than just simply being the first one out of the gate with something insightful. You can convey your seriousness and intent with presence, active listening, facial expressions, preparation, poise, etc. It is a projection of what you think about yourself, ultimately.

If you're sitting there deliberating over getting the Good First Impression, or even just waiting for your turn to speak, people are going to pick up on that. Not saying you are, just that it is an easy trap to fall into.

So many societal issues can be explained by the fact that the conditions that we're living in now are so different than the conditions under which we evolved for hundreds of thousands of years. And also the fact that we were naturally selected for survival, not happiness.

Civilization is all about denying your nature in order to build a better way of life based on stacks of technology.

I certainly think the MBTI as a questionaire and the encoding of types into 4-letter codes is badly designed. But I think the interpretation of underlying theory based on cognitive functions and functional stacks is both elegant and compelling.

Taking your description naively, such a person would likely be an INTJ. Which has a functional stack of (in order of most to least used thinking processes): Introverted Intuition - Extraverted Thinking - Introverted Feeling - Extraverted Sensation.

I realise that doesn't make much sense if you are used to applying the 4-letter code to persons directly. But as I mentioned above, I don't think that is a good way of doing things. It makes more sense if you take the 4 letter codes as simply being an opaque shorthand encoding for functional stacks (with the individual letters in the code not having meaning on their own, only indirectly through their correlation to a functional stack). E, I, N, S, T, F, P, J then become properties of thinking processes and an "extraverted person" is simply someone who primarily tends towards using one of the four extraverted thinking processes (Fe, Te, Ne, Se). They may or may not present like the everyday understanding of how an extravert presents (e.g. sociable and chatty). Typically people who have a "Extraverted Feeling" (Fe) dominant function closely fit this stereotype, but other types extraverts often don't.

You need to show how stupid you are or else people wont be able to help you correct your mistakes. Trying to hide your ignorance just ensures you will stay ignorant, people who know stuff aren't afraid to appear ignorant.

People often makes the mistake thinking that those who hide their ignorance aren't ignorant. But as your quote shows, the most ignorant people are the ones who don't speak up, not those who do and get corrected. People just perceive the non speakers as less ignorant.
Even for journal publications, the reviewers are anonymous. So really there is no reason to not just express your true opinion on a submission (as a reviewer). I have literally approved for publication dozens of submissions from unknown universities and non-affiliated contributors.

It is extremely hard to believe that the submission was not accepted BECAUSE of the lack of university affiliation.

But what is indeed true is that different conferences/journals have different expectations from a submission. Some prefer more theoretical analysis, others more computational work and benchmarking. And this is where a seasoned Professor offers value. They can judge where to submit a paper and have a high probability of success.
A hard-pull is not a GET; it's a POST. The semantics are "this person is actively seeking credit, and we are considering whether to extend it to them". The system regards the extent of credit-seeking behavior, and changes to its pattern, as a factor that affects the credit profile.

That's not prima facie unreasonable. If you have someone who suddenly starts applying for lots of personal loans (for example), that's probably something you'd be interested in, as someone who has previously extended credit to that person.

As the prior poster indicated, when you look at your own credit file, it's not a hard pull. Nor is it a hard pull when a creditor updates their records on you as part of ongoing monitoring of your account. It's only a hard pull when the subject is specifically requesting a new, or increased, extension of credit. Those soft-pulls are GETs.

> as LLMs are prone to BS

I agree. The output sounds very convincing, and on a high-level it might make sense. If there are 3 layers: (a) high-level idea, (b) more detailed ideas, and (c) choosing the right words, tone, syntax, grammar, then LLMs seem to be very good in (a) and (c), but quite bad at (b). For somebody not familiar with the topic, it's hard to detect this.
