Trees are tricky. They assume solid splits between species. While that may work well across millions/billions of years it does not work well when describing the specifics of split points. There is no bright line when one generation is suddenly a different species than the last. Genetics describes the slow accumulation of changes. Translating that into a tree of lines connected by points will always require compromise.

Ask an economist about WHY economy exists in the first place and you can put a bet on the fact that many of them get it wrong. How can anything building on that be right then? Exactly.
Nice writeup. We're working on a framework with similar goals, here: https://github.com/frameable/el

My understanding is that buses generally reach lower speeds and, because of their mass, a collision is less likely to produce the kind of abrupt stop that throws people through windshields. If a typical car collides head-on with a bus at speed, the car will be thrown back and its occupants whipped around; the bus will keep moving forward with an unpleasant but not devastating jolt.

There are exceptions, I'm sure.
That is quite fascinating - I was big into continental philosophy in college, especially Deleuze. I might have to check that out!

If you're interested in this stuff, I think you might enjoy Manuel DeLanda - he gives Deleuze a sort of analytic treatment. His book "A New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity" takes a lot of ideas from A Thousand Plateaus, but makes them clearer and more accessible.

Another suggestion if interested in Deleuze, and more specifically A Thousand Plateaus: someone named Brent Adkins has a great companion for the work. Unless you have extensive experience with the thinkers & ideas referenced in ATP (e.g. Freud, Marx, Nietzsche), I found secondary sources very helpful for setting up context around certain terms and concepts.
Yep. I have a strict policy of requiring unit tests to be added before I merge any new feature in a pull request. For small features, all the contributor needs to do is add a couple of test functions to the existing testing infrastructure, but I find it still drops the number of PRs by about 5x or something. It’s really remarkable. And I haven’t found a downside to this policy yet.
We can do math integration and solve radiation transport problems with Monte Carlo.
Well I mean I started out essentially with my own fork, that has modifications that make sense to me. In doing so, I found a trivial optimization that it would be neat if it was backported.

Although this would benefit everyone using the mainline project, this is of very low personal importance to me and my patience for navigating an obstacle course is fairly low, even if this is to the detriment of the wider developer community.
I think we don't need dedicated language classes. Students can either self learn or TA can spend a few sessions for an introductory course.
This is typical FE tech stack engineering. Invent new solutions to solved problems and sell solution as next hot thing. And what proceeds is what causes people to dread FE work.
How exactly does "here's a set of rules that people can follow to share resources with minimal problems, it took two decades to figure out" count as a debunking of "sharing resources without an authority to impose rules tends to go badly"?

>What does "in your area" really mean when looking for remote work?

Due to employment, tax and labor laws in my country, remote work still has to be done for a company that has a presence in my country. I can't have an employment contract with a company not based here, only B-2-B.

So remote basically limits me to local companies, which don't usually offer 100% remote work posibilities.

I am really disappointed that this would be the most voted comment on the topic, as it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what most journalists actually do. Also, grouping journalists from all over the world, and with all sort of different specialization, into one bucket is so shortsighted.
I say that as a long-standing journalist, who branched out and supports themselves in order to afford remaining in journalism as a freelancer.
But no, all my efforts go under "misdirection and dishonesty" just because I'm a journalist.
> Ultimately, if you are "accountable" for everything in the world, then what you must do is establish control over everything in the world.

This seems rather extreme. To me "accountable" means "accountable for your _reaction_" in this context. I don't think (or at least hope that) anybody advocating this stance is seeking to "eliminate nature" so much as accept it as it is and deal with it on a realistic basis.

As an illustrative example I ride motorcycles on the street. It is a fact of nature that people are going to try and merge into me or cut me off and threaten my life. Blaming them and being angry about it leads to poor outcomes in the form of aggressive and dangerous riding. Instead I focus on mitigating risk by wearing appropriate safety gear and anticipating bad drivers' actions so as to avoid it. I do not seek to control others so much as to maximize the value of my interaction with them by taking ownership of it.

You don't have time to do that. People don't have time to listen enough different single-area experts all the time. They also don't have the ability to filter through the agendas of these people, which are pushed with no regard to information integrity. That filter is journalism, and it's still important for functioning democracies.
It is not really about measuring things, but about reaching a definitive answer given some assumptions. Sometimes our notation of numbers get in the way of writing things shortly (instead of infinite decimal places), other times we can use a fraction and be exact on the paper we write on.
>> It enforces ego-less-ness by not showing you names; it doesn't want your contributions, especially not on general topics that people enjoy "debating".

Every time I have tried to edit anything in Wikipedia I have run into a very ego-driven community of long-term editors who don't much care for outsiders playing in their sandbox. The levels of "proof" and "citation" demanded to make even the smallest correction, often far beyond anything backing the preexisting copy, means only those with ego-driven determination are likely to have their edits stick. I do care a little that a wikipedia article is incorrect about a topic related to my profession. But I don't care enough to engage some armchair lawyer/soldier in an epic back-and-forth debate over a period of days/weeks. So I back off and just let the errors sit.

After graduating with my BSEE and getting my first professional job, one of my very first tasks was to implement this algorithm on a PDP 11, in assembly. I first implemented it in Fortran (C had just come out and I didn't know it yet) to run on a VAX 11/780. Once it was working, it was amazing to see how powerful it was in correcting noisy data, even using rate 1/2 coding and short constraint lengths. Consider that the Voyager spacecraft, now nearly 24 billion miles from earth, uses it and it is still possible to decode it's data. In my mind, Viterbi's algorithm is equal in importance in communications with the FFT.

Getting started with modern Visual Basic isn't actually all that much easier than with C#

Speaking in extreme generalities, the people in favour of taxes believe that there is only a tenuous link between improving society and getting paid money. That the state's view of what would be an improvement is superior to the view of wealthy individuals. Anyone being wealthy is somewhat suspect because they have claim on resources and the pro-tax types don't believe they can use those resource more effectively than a government.

From that perspective, the handover of assets that happens during an inheritance is a great time for a tax - they don't believe that the inheritee will use the money to improve the world, they don't believe that the deceased was making optimum use of those funds and so this is an opportunity to level the playing field for the next generation and redirect assets to a more fundamentally wise and fair state.

I don't agree with that view (the USSR alone, let alone all the other attempts...) but it is internally consistent.

Tish is awesome. Getting any kind of judgement against this BS is a real achievement. That she can't put people in jail for this a law problem, not a her problem.
For comparison, adding up the Dutch tax rates for when my nephew inherits from me and buys a product with it:

- Income tax: 49.5% (36.93% on income under €73k)

- Inheritance tax: 40% (30% for inheritance under €138k)

- VAT: 21%

Thus, poor people pay 65% tax and rich 76% in such a scenario.

I think we agree, but I'm not sure I get your last point. PHP, for all its (in parts very weird) flaws, always had the advantage of how fast it is to get a website up and running. But AFAICT, VB.net isn't actually any easier to get running than C# is?
I guess we slip into that because inanimate objects are ok to manipulate as we wish without concern. It's a gentle slope from there up to humans, and somewhere along the line it becomes problematic.
It may be good to know that depending on the country where one lives getting a diagnostic can be a very long and laborious process. Online comments make it sound as something simple, it really depends on circumstances. But it’s definitely worth trying. Finding the correct medication is also not always simple, that takes some attempts, not everybody reacts the same way to a given molecule, and local scheduling laws can make it difficult to get access to the most effective ones.
I take the bait: of course you can't control the weather. So you plan to hiking, so instead of getting soaked when it rains — you can pack an umbrella or a poncho.

So who's fault is it that you got wet? The weather? Was there nothing that could have been done?

Maybe it's your responsibility to plan for bad weather?

Ship incrementally and often

It doesn't have to be "working code". It could be blog articles, conference talks, youtube videos, github gists, colab notebooks, social media posts, etc other places for your ideas to live, be found, discovered.

For example, I've been playing with vector search ideas for a LONG time. I have many unfinished ideas. I can empathize with your feeling. However, you are never really "DONE" - if you shipped something, you'd find the next thing in that area to work on. This loop repeats forever :).

If you scanned, the vector search stuff on my blog, you might not see the "big idea" yet, but I've written incrementally about parts of it, just to get bits and pieces of feedback.

It also helps my focus as it encourages me to keep going in a direction (or not) based on traction.

> Now you want to take away 50% of that before passing it on to the kids?

Yes, or spend it…

I’ve met too many people who are quite concerned about their parent’s wealth and spending later in life, and it seems to become more concerning for the kids once their parents become closer to death.

I believe, as a rule of thumb, dynastic wealth is bad for society at large and encourages a rise in rentiers and other parasitic behaviors.

> But also, that brings your effective tax rate for your life at close to ~66%…

Such an odd concept: the tax rate of all income you have had over the span of your life. Once you’re dead, you no longer ‘own’ anything. It belongs to your estate, and whoever owns that estate is the person who is taxed.
Even worse, authorized HP retailers sell nearly expired cartridges.

Happened to my mother who bought an HP-branded cartridge from ("shipped and sold by") Amazon, then got a warning message when she installed it a couple months later — it had "expired" a month after purchase.

Fortunately, on her particular printer at least, there was an option to ignore the warning, and the cartridge worked fine after that.

Do you any links to those mathematicians and physicists? I ask because there is a certain class of quackery that waves quantum effects around as the explanation for everything under the sun, and brain cognition is one of them.

Either way, quantum computing is advancing rapidly (so rapidly there's even an executive order now ordering the use of PQC in government communications as soon as possible), so I don't think that moat would last for long if it even exists. We also know that at a minimum GPT4-strength intelligence is already possible with classical computing.

It turned out to be the Goodyear blimp.

It was dusk and you could not actually see the main body of the airship at all. Only the brightly lit advertising panel that looked like a colorful energy field in motion kind of like science fiction renditions show underneath a flying saucer keeping it aloft relatively still in the sky.

A different time in the 1990's I was traveling from north Florida toward South Florida, out in the middle of nowhere between Ocala and Orlando late at night.

Didn't see anything flying, but at high altitude there clearly appeared quite quickly in a clear sky a geometric grid of contrails. Perfect square crosshatch pattern which lingered for almost a half hour as the lines in the sky gradually diffused.

Traveling at speed I was able to estimate the sides of each square were 25 to 50 miles long, and I had to think the overhead pattern extended from coast-to-coast across the state from ocean to gulf. I was about in the midpoint between the coasts. Easily extended north-to-south equally as far, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it covered hundreds of miles of longitude beyond what my direct observation could estimate.

There was no physical way a single known aircraft had simultaneously laid down these trails, they were all the same thickness and dissipated at the same rate, and the whole pattern freshly appeared at once.
This assessment, Working Genius [1], helped us out at the company I work for.

The balance we were looking for, from thinking up, creating ideas, to encouraging (galvanizing), structuring, completing, etc, from start to finish.

It helped me explain what I guess I knew, but showed me who I’d need to work with, for best results.

Me, at my best (green), I’m great at Invention and Discernment. Creating and weeding out the potential solutions. In this zone, I can do 8-12hrs easy

At my yellow (I’ll do it, but it drains my energy quick) is enablement and tenacity. I can encourage others and push through my own doubt/insecurity/bug/issue, etc, but anymore than an hour or two of this, and I’m drained.

At my red zone (if I start doing this, I start getting frustrated) is Wonder and Galvanizing. I don’t get energy from rallying people or from wondering about too much, I’d rather figure it out, not dream it out. If I have to talk to rally people over, for more than 5 min, I’m drained and frustrated. Or if we are “pointlessly-brainstorming” and “accepting any input”, I’m checked out 5 min in.

Anyway, there are plenty of good suggestions here, but this helped in figure out what kind of people to surround yourself/team with for completing projects, etc

Author cites Hannah Ritchie who insists on comparing billions of tons of raw fossil fuels vs. millions of tons of REFINED metals. Not vs. raw metal ores - that would be half the tonnage of fossils already. It is handwaved away in the discussion below the Ritchie's article as "armchair concerns" and "minor part" and "we don't know exactly". I think such serious topic deserves more intellectually honest analysis.
