Are you referring to the roughly 50% of the country who voted for, and according to current polls slightly over that who plan on voting for former president Trump?

That's a mighty broad brush you're painting with there.
I agree with the sentiment, but it's not correct that price dumping is illegal for physical products.

Trade treaties and WTO rules cover dumping in international trade for obvious reasons, but to my knowledge, there's no law in the major western jurisdictions covering domestic dumping.

NEW YORK, April 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not found a link between heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines, the agency’s Director Rochelle Walensky said on Tuesday.

I agree that this is the part that needs more work, and is most uncertain. Increasing context windows seems like a fairly straightforward computational challenge (albeit potentially expensive). On the other hand, whether or not we can scale current models towards "true understanding" (or similar), is a total unknown atm.

I still think we will get useful things from scaling up current models though. I've already got a lot of value out of Copilot, for instance, and I'm looking forward to the next version based on GPT-4. Recently, I've been using the GPT-3 Copilot to write a lot of pandas/matplotlib code, which is fairly straightforward and repetitive, but as mainly a Java developer, I just don't have the APIs at my fingertips. Copilot helps a lot with this sort of thing.
I’ve known people whose version of A was “between a year and five years” for something where five years was clearly a ludicrous amount of time to spend and a year would be stunning. In those cases, the problem is that they aren’t really bothering to give an estimate at first, so the pressure to give one continues.
Are you suggesting that former president Trump was responsible for the internment of Japanese in WW2?
It seems that computing correlations between words captures something from the underlying reality. GPT also uses embeddings to contextualize words.

I just confront business people with the results of their choices in a civil and polite manner.

If some manager made a promise to a client out of his/her ass without asking us, and if the PO pressures us towards meeting an unrealistic time-frame, when that explodes I just explain in a public meeting where upper management and all stake holders take part why it was wrong to promise that, using arguments and business considerents because bussineses people don't care about tech considerents. It usually results in that person admitting in public their mistake and even saying they are sorry.

I don't do that to humiliate people but to teach them to ask the team implementing the feature to estimate or to say if that feature is even reasonable or possible given current state and resources.

People have done this in the past, at this point most people are just going to meme about it rather than respond. The response that they get is always “if it’s so easy why don’t you hack it?” which is quite frankly more effort than anyone wants to spend on an OS that doesn’t really harm anyone just sitting by itself layering all sorts of “mitigations” on itself. They’re basically completely divorced from what any real-world exploit these days looks like (blind ROP, really?) or how attackers work (“99% secure will stop them!!”) but somehow always really convoluted and optimized at stopping one very specific exploit flow rather than a general technique. The real solution for stopping ROP/JOP is going to be CFI, shadow stacks, etc. rather than trying to kludge something on hardware that doesn’t support it.

...really this was a bank run pure and simple

I've been around and around on this question. Insolvent or illiquid, illiquid or Insolvent... etc. It was solvent on paper, by what it had to record on it's books. But it was insolvent by mark-to-market (which it didn't have to use but which the sophisticated but not-that-sophisticated investors, say venture capitalists, would assume is the reality). But hey, you could say it was solvent by the Fed supporting every bank it's size. Then again, the Fed didn't come through in time, so maybe the run was the reality [1].

And you could say "this was a run 'cause picking on SVB in particular was unfair since a significant portion of all bank capital in long term bonds that put them on an "overhang" of unrealized losses. [2] But maybe, the Fed needed to cool the economy so killing a few banks was needed and SVB and signature were the most logical.

I don't know if it qualifies as misophonia but I have a new neighbor that moved in above my apartment and every weekend night they have been hosting parties between 8pm-12am. It's not the general party noise that gets to me, it's the loud bass from the music they play (electronic or hip-hop) that is periodic and has a predictable pattern that causes me drives me nuts. The odd foot stomping, yelling, cheering, etc.. are fine and are to be expected in a crowded city...

I'm not exactly sure how to best deal with this but I'm almost at the point of moving out and breaking my lease. I have no idea how their neighbors on the same floor can deal with it considering it sounds more than twice as loud when in their floor hallway.

On the bright side, I guess I can consider myself lucky in that none of the other triggers in the article like chewing seem to have any effect on me.

Really? I've always been the opposite for some reason. I find it easier to visualize 20% of a pie chart, or of a crowd, or a length, etc. It's a lot harder for me to think about 1/5 of a crowd or 1/5 of a length.

It's tangentially related to this, but I've seen posts on social media over the years of how people visualize different kinds of information. For example, some people think of the months of the year in a vertical fashion, others horizontal.

I'm curious if this is something similar where some people find a certain way of thinking of probability easier than others.

My stepdad chews with his mouth open. Always has. I had to deal with this living under his roof from the time I was 9 until I was 17. It made dinner an excruciating experience, but I was brought up in an environment which precluded addressing it head-on, so I had to grit my teeth and bear it. When I moved back in with him in 2022 to help him recover from cancer, I was finally mature enough to have a frank conversation with him about it. From then on, we ate separately. All good now.

On another note, I taught English overseas in Shanghai, China from 2007-2013. When I arrived, I learned that in mainland Chinese culture, slurping your noodles is considered a sign of respect to the chef. I somehow made it 6 years there. Not so much because I loved it there, although expat life is fun. It was mostly because I was in a transition period in my life and didn’t know what to do next.

TBH, hearing that 20% of people are similarly afflicted is a relief. Misophonia is an incredibly lonely situation for me. It isn’t talked about much, I’ve never met anyone who also claimed to have it, and when I told my stepdad I suffered from it, he had never heard of it before.
> Right, and even withing social ontology/constructivism there are multitudes.

There are multitudes; and that’s exactly why such statements are vapid and contain no information. You failed to clarify what you meant and only managed to make a vague reference to Berger.

There are thousand contradictory ways to interpret what “a social construct” means (see The Social Construction of What? by Ian Hacking), but the most important thing about that statement is that it allows a sociologist to say “it’s something I am an authority on”.

> Dismissing the entire subfield as vapid comes across as intellectually immature.

Would dismissing astrology be intellectually immature? I don’t think so.

> "constructivism bad because Marxism bad," is about as thought-limiting cliché as one can get

Indeed. Good that it is not what I’ve said.
I am excited to see more solutions that work with Apple Notes database directly. This is my go-to application to capture unstructured memos while researching various topics. Last year I got carried away and built a simple site generator for Notes [0]. As a fun exercise I implemented ORM models to query Sqlite database in Ruby:

User::Account.server(database: "tmp/test.sqlite").first.
folders_dataset.offset(1).first
notes.
map(&:attachments).flatten.
find { |el| el.is_a?(User::ObjectTypes::EmbeddedPublicJpeg) &&
el.height > 700 &&
el.summary[/animal/i] }.
media_filepath
=> "Accounts/<uuid>/Media/F669B83A-0C47-408E-9645-015737F3B11F/Pasted Graphic.jpg"

Apple Notes' database structure is a fascinating product story. Notes started as a simple note-taking application that stored its content as raw HTML in a few simple tables. However, as the product grew and needed more features like collaboration, they had to make changes and add new columns and tables. They also implemented two flavors of CRDT-like algorithms that evolved over time: one for plaintext chunks and the other one for embedded objects like tables. On top of that, every change that Apple makes must be backward compatible to support legacy devices and systems; but backward-compatibility was not always possible and users had to go through “Migrate your Notes” steps, but it is again a product story.

I wish that one day, someone from the development team would write an article about it.

> nobody is running on issues that are a concern to almost everyone, such as anti-corruption.

I think in modern politics parties don't want to run on such issues because if both of the parties have same views on large % of issues and are talking about the same topics (e.g anti corruption), then you have to fight on execution and delivery, which can be fickle and requires hard work.

By contrast, fighting on culture issues is not much work at all, and you don't have to fight on competence, as long as you find issues on which there is a big divide in the populace. It is like a corporate moat, a feature your opponent can't copy.

By contrast, fighting on important issues that benefit everyone would lead to a commoditisation of politics. All parties would look similar and people would choose basis who delivers better.

Culture politics is good for those who long for power, but bad for everyone else.

Outdated, simplistic, incorrect.
Whenever I read something like, "Software development is not carpentry. Almost everything a developer writes is unique, they have never built that particular thing before. We are not cabinet makers repeating a variation of something we've built hundreds of times before." I just assume that the person is trolling, or a child.

Virtually all software developers are building minor variations on thing that have been built hundreds if time before. Sure, maybe not by that particular software developer, but by a thousand others at some point, and half of those have probably stuck their code on GitHub so you can look at how they did it.

This idea that software developers are somehow cranking about beautiful snowflakes of such uniqueness that it is impossible to ever estimate how long something will take is nonsense. It is delusional.

I really wish as a profession we could get over ourselves and acknowledge that, hey, it is possible to learn from others, that much of what we do is repeatable, and that if you're really struggling with estimating it probably isn't because you're engaged in ground breaking work that has never been done before, but rather that you haven't bothered to think things through.

> Just saying 'give us two months of budget' doesn't take the other party into account, and what they're trying to balance or plan for. I've sat on both sides of the table, and honestly just asking for a budget with no actual commitment to completion feels selfish in my opinion. Discounting their opinion because they're 'business' people and not developers, or treating them like an enemy to fight against won't win you any friends or long term relationships.

The irony is that at least some of the time, a "safe" estimate will actually make the project take longer. Work naturally expands to fill a deadline, and not having a deadline but instead frequent progress checkins with an expectation of foward progress can result in more getting done, because it changes the conversation from "how at risk is the deadline" to "how much happened in the last week and what are the next steps", forcing progress to happen continuously rather than one big bang at the end.

I also often hesitate to give estimates / establish deadlines because it tends to create an unhealthy confrontational atmoshepere, where developers are incentivized to not incorporate feedback or make any changes even if they are the right thing to do, because it would put the deadline at risk (but if they incorprate allowances for these things during estimation it's considered sandbagging).

This is based on documents that were leaked to Unearthed and their report is here [1].

Unfortunately, I don't think they have released the documents publicly. Given that there were "tens of thousands of comments by governments, corporations, academics and others", there is significant editorialization to produce these journalistic reports.

These reports identify "Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and OPEC" as the ones watering down the report, and linking this with their economic interests. However, plenty of other countries have economic interests as well, that are contrary to efforts to slow down climate change. Was the US beef industry not putting pressure as well? The Chinese coal industry? The German automobile industry?

I would really like to see the leaked documents to get the complete picture.
