> Maybe you go to a school in a poor area, or with a lot of violence, or far too many students for the teachers to pay any individual attention to; or, relatedly, maybe you’re required to spend a lot of time caring for siblings or parents, working a low-skill job, or holding your family together or preserving your safety in some way. The disadvantages of this case are obvious, but there are a few advantages too; the strategy, as with everything, is to mitigate the impact of your disadvantages while using your advantages to the maximum. I don’t know enough to say what the best tactics are for these cases, but I have a few theories.

I work in exactly the type of school this describes, with exactly these kids. I’m genuinely awed by the hubris it requires to just plow ahead with advice/theories about their advantages vs. disadvantages despite having no clue whatsoever what they’re talking about. It makes me genuinely angry. This person can take their theories and shove them up their ass, until they bother spending time in my shoes and really coming face-to-face with the profound systemic and otherwise deep long-term issues kids in this environment have to confront… just to make it to tomorrow.

> While it’s true local banks provide a public local benefit, they are IME just inefficient

This is the central theme of the product/platform we are working on right now. The objective is to enable small US banks the ability to automate large portions of their business, enabling cheaper employees to handle the day-to-day, reduce back office size, etc, etc.

Getting a small, 5-branch bank completely end-to-end with a digital onboarding workflow can cut the cost of bringing in new customers by 80% or better. Paperwork is what is still killing most of the small ones. Scanning/printing/reviewing/etc. Allowing the bankers to work outside the physical branches is another thing that is coming up a lot these days. Acquiring new business customers can be much easier when you are able to open accounts and answer complex questions directly inside their place of business.

The biggest strategic challenge with all of this is the cost of deploying such a solution. The tiny bank in Nowhere, TX can't afford super shiny & expensive software/consulting/etc. We had to figure out how to squeeze a digital transformation into a low 6 figure package and do it with only a handful of people. This is the real hard shit. Saving the small banks while still getting paid enough to do it. I think this is why you see this massive gulf between Ally.com and the 1 branch specials that were created in the 1800s. The cost of the transformation itself is the barrier. Once you are across the line it's cheap.

In terms of consolidation, we've seen the effects of good technology on our clients. It turns them from prey into predator pretty quickly. Every one of the small banks who has used our solution has acquired additional branches over time.
I would love to buy this so I can put up classic newspapers and read them. Such a cool idea.

A bit of a side tangent, but I have been trying to locate newspaper archives, and I just can't find them anywhere for download outside of newspapers.com, and even then they rate limit the hell out you. There is not effective way to bulk download these artifacts so I can peruse offline, which is typical :(

Does anyone know where to find bulk old newspaper downloads?

"In the early 1800s, the Brits controlled 90 percent of the Chinese opium trade. But within the 10 percent of business handled by Americans, Perkins and his brother James had the largest share. They owned at least seven ships, and held interest in others. The ships sailed from Massachusetts shores to Turkey, where they bought opium; from Turkey to China, where they sold the drug; and from China to Boston, loaded with tea, porcelain and silk."

This feature is totally underrated in industrial design. I've had to clean many fridges over my years and every time I find horrible black mold in all sorts of crevices caused by poor design decisions and decisions based solely on cost.
The other reason that unlimited vacation time is popular (with firms) is that accrued vacation is a liability that is carried on the books and, in some jurisdictions, is a form of earned compensation which must be paid out at separation, whereas purely-employer-discretionary vacation (which is what “unlimited” vacation really is) is neither.

Worked at a bank for years. So many things we wanted to do to really get our firewall policies modern and more actionable for the SOC. Layer 7 enforcement, user-based policies, deduplication of rules, more aggressive cleanup.

Things needing to be done a certain way for the auditors was a major hamper in our processes.

I'm now consulting and I have seen people do changes to their policies in such strange ways because they have to jump through ridiculous hoops for their industry regulator.

I'm inclined to agree in principle that such tracking should be opt in.

In practice, I'd expect the behaviour of the modal complainer to be: 1. to complain about any broken/removed functionality 2. refuse to fix it themselves (or fund the fixing) 3. refuse to opt-in to tracking so as to give impartial of usage.

So I think the trade-off of default analytics where the volunteer contributors make a best-effort to keep things working for as many people as possible is beneficial to most users. (And for those who disagree, they can opt out).
I think the neuroscience here has really gone through the pop-sci wringer. The original research was specifically about impulse control and not anything else. I think there has been some more evidence about pattern recognition etc recently.

It's always struck me as funny when people say 25 is when you're fully mature. After this point, you start to experience declines in ability. It's not maturity; it's the moment you start dying.

You can't fix stupid. If the delivery guy is cutting in front of you without looking in their mirror, it's on them. Introducing a new set of lights will further confuse people who aren't delivery drivers and have no idea what those lights mean.
The only real solution is family planning. You don't want a pointless exponential population growth Ponzi scheme where each person has to have three children with their partner. What is necessary are people that join the workforce exactly at the same rate as people exit the workforce. That is the only way you can avoid the Ponzi scheme.

This means when someone is in their mid fourties and will retire in 20 years, someone needs to give birth to a child so that it will grow up and start working just in time for the retiree. If children get born too early, then you run into the problem of them needing their own caretakers. These children don't compensate for someone else leaving, so they add to the population and
their future caretakers will also add to the population leading to an exponential Ponzi scheme.

I don't buy it, right off. A bank serving a single town does go down with the town. But the big banks don't do anything to help the town stay up, as it were.

That is, sure, the bank disappears if the town does. But the question is if local banks help towns not disappear? There are tangible goods for having value pumped locally into the place that has it. Versus the larger banks that have no reason to invest in smaller towns.

Mexicans in construction can feel like wage slaves every day in Mexico. Those temporarily in the US get to feel like they’re making bank, absolutely just cleaning up. Typical roofer in the US makes $50k (BLS figure). Not sure what he makes in Mexico but the median income in Mexico is about $20k.

Why is the US based tradesperson superior to the Mexican? Why must we address his prosperity more than theirs? To “protect” the Mexican from making cash?

And remember that when construction is expensive, people have to pay for it. Maybe if you already have saved enough for your house, that’s fine for you, but if not? It absolutely makes it harder for young people (not in tech) to afford homes. And on the national scale we have a massive backlog in housing and can expect it will take decades before housing gets better.

US labor is neither morally superior nor economically sounder for the US or world economy. It is the specific laborer himself who benefits.
Heh, yeah. The best "Android game" I ever played was the Android port of XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

This is a classic textfiles thing to do, yeah. It's one of the few ways to really be a virtuous with the typography.

In part, it's because it's a proof-of-work - there's no way to automatically do it. I've been musing about using word embeddings + dynamic programming to do just that, however: you take a list of all possible synonyms with their embeddings, and calculate every rewrite that results in lining up exactly, and then choose the ones with the minimum cumulative embedding distance between the original words & their replacement.

So is it basically true that there is no objective information out there anymore, because anyone running a successful site gets corrupted with money?
I was expecting a lot more information upfront. Even exhausting clues left todays very ambiguous.

The UI on mobile feels lacking. I wanted key facts to be more highlighted.

The flow of information feels unnatural. It feels more like a semi-automated version of clue than solving a mystery.

this is a fantastic followup post spelling out the toolkit of the AI Engineer. I have a version of this in my notes but didnt want to publish it for fear of being too biased by ommission, plus it's generally good to leave others to fill in the blanks on some things. the Projects list is particularly great - one could build a course around these few things and be reasonably confident that you have the base skills of a competent "AI Engineer" (that, for example, any PM or founder could ask to do an AI project and they'd be well equipped to advise/make technical decisions).

I don’t see it explicitly mentioned in the instructions, but I’m assuming that the room web/map means that someone can only get to certain rooms by going through other rooms?

For example, in today’s challenge there’s only one way to get from the living room to the bathroom by going through the kitchen.

Is this correct?
This is fascinating; I love hear pumps! Can you comment on why this might not have been done before? Maybe new materials make it possible, or it’s marginally more expensive but can be done with clean energy, which people have a premium on now?
This reads to me like wanting to learn sports, and then disliking that your soccer instructor didn't teach you how to throw a ball. There's a lot you can learn about music in the classical framework, but the focus there is certainly not improvisation based on chord sheets. Generally learning about improvisation in a high school context would happen in jazz band, although in my experience lots of people in jazz band (including myself) are not too interested in improvisation either. A separate music theory class might also help although dedicated classes for that are probably even less common than having a jazz band, although if a student is particularly motivated and interested and the school is at all flexible, you can sometimes work out a deal with the band teacher to do a special run of such a class. Also music theory is just theory, it's totally insufficient without also actually practicing improv as doing it in real-time is a much harder challenge.

I wouldn't doubt if learning guitar or piano would help with this aspect, but I know plenty of people who learned it just fine on wind instrument if they want to. It's not too surprising especially for those learning wind instruments - taking a solo in high school is already scary for a lot of people, and even more so when they don't even have music to play or practice ahead of time. Also there is admittedly probably a higher barrier of entry to improv on wind instruments so a lot of the focus necessarily has to be on achieving a baseline technical proficiency before it even makes sense to think about improv (if they don't put in the prerequisite technical work, it would be hard to move to improv). For example, with guitar or piano, right off the bat I can play any note in tune and sound at least halfway okay. On a wind instrument, even playing the most basic note will sound quite bad at first, and generally the range of frequency is limited for beginners and learning to extend it can take many years. Playing in tune likewise takes years.

Anyway, all that said, I entirely agree, if someone really likes music, it's hard to go wrong with also learning guitar or piano. Piano in particular, as one of the most versatile instruments, used in so many genres, and can help with learning fundamental theory, composition, and even gives a very good sense of rhythm as the two hands have to act independent of each other in a way that other instruments normally don't have to. If I had to go back and learn a different instrument, piano would be a likely candidate.

I wish I could pass on some wisdom or tips for how to deal with estate crap better, but I don't know that there is. It's just a fucking slog. The best cases are where you say the magic word, it gets you to a dedicated department staffed by real humans who actually know what they're talking about, sends you the right paperwork, and that paperwork finishes out what you need from them. The bad cases are basically an exercise in reverse engineering their org chart, to figure out what department is actually responsible for a given corner case, and how their policies and the legal regulations actually fit together. I remember being on the phone with Vanguard to sort something out, I think I got pinballed between 4-5 different ostensibly-human reps in changing departments. Each one profusely apologizing that they had to transfer me again, and I'm just laughing it off because it's the only way to survive.

Get a durable power of attorney for your mother sooner rather than later. It won't solve everything, but can make some inquiries easier to just do on your own rather than needing a group project. Also health care proxy and a new will if those are necessary. IME old people can be very open to such changes soon after a death, but then become much more hesitant and procrastinatey months later. I think it's the difference between ascribing the reason to their partner's death, or to their own looming death. Strike while the iron is hot.

I have two friends. One lives by “Don’t be a drip, ‘real artists ship’”. He’s got ~20 products shipped. The other friend drips hard, with a comparable number of projects abandoned over a comparable timeframe.

Both spent about two decades living in near poverty and only recently experienced financial success.

I don’t believe telling either of them to switch strategies would have been helpful.

We could infer from these two cases that “don’t give up” is the unifying factor, and that that’s helpful advice. I think history is littered with counter examples. Giving up may not be psychologically healthy (or advisable), but advising somebody “don’t give up” can still be cruel and unhelpful. Resisting the urge to give advice may be kindest.

I suspect most advice broadcast on the internet does more to inflate the author’s reputation than to help the audience. Even if this is true, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of a small quantity of exceptional advice having an outsized positive impact that outweighs the over abundance of reputation inflating advice.

In the past local banks had better understand of local risk environment and could offer loans for things bigger banks would never touch (though Usally still at high rates). Now this really isn’t happening much so local banks are chasing the same commodity loans that the big guys chase and they just can’t compete. If banks don’t actually keep the loans they originate and everyone chases commoditized loans to sell off to investors there really is no use for local banks.
I like the term as it's very specific and relatable, especially when applied to two-sided markets facilitated on a centralized platform.

None of this should come as a surprise though and we can merely see it as one mode of capitalism working as intended. The problem wouldn't be nearly as bad if the companies were family owned rather than by venture capitalists and investors.

I suppose I didn't express myself very well. The rabbit hole I mentioned is about how people agree or disagree with aspects of each others' moralities, and what the outcome should be in the larger context of society. I agree that stoning as a punishment for adultery shouldn't be tolerated, but that doesn't mean my principles for believing that are necessarily the same as yours, or that I share your other principles. That's what I'm trying to get at.

The dance of which morality is correct and should be enshrined in law (I think anything that is "clearly" immoral should be prohibited by law as a 1:1 mapping; the law is therefore a reflection of morality) is not one I like to partake in. Even if we all agree to discard current major religious beliefs around morality, there will still be many points for people to disagree on. Some people will be very left out and others slightly; that's what I meant by "morality is beyond laws". There is an inherent impasse that arises at this junction.

A few months of blockers won't do much of anything in the long run. The risk of osteoporosis in the absence of sex hormones is well-known to endocrinologists, and they account for it. Even a few months of cross-sex hormones will do very little. It takes at least six months before anything irreversible happens.

And "someone who did this under duress regretted it hence no one should do this" isn't a sound argument.
