What makes a western education so valuable is that it has produced the rounded character that enabled the culture. Athletics was and is education. In countries where there are no athletics, education is just rote indoctrination. Someone who has played a team sport is more equipped to lead - e.g. scale their capabilities - than someone who has not because it's about tacit knowledge and physical experience you can't just memorize. An athlete is necessarily more educated than a non-athlete, just by definition. The most dominant organizations in the world recruit from athletic programs for this reason.

Thanks to the replication crisis, statistically, probably half your professors were frauds anyway, especially if you went to a top tier school in the last decade or two, and almost none of them would have been athletes. They don't have the character required to succeed in a physical discipline, and they hate athletes because people from physical culture are difficult to bully and decieve.

Want to learn how to work on a team? Sail a boat with a crew. Want to learn to push boundaries and take risks? Race downhill on anything. Want to solve coordination problems? Play football/soccer. Want to appreciate nature? Surf. Want charisma? Ride a horse. Want to understand cumulative effort and long term strategic goals? Powerlift. Want to understand endurance? Run marathons or be a triathlete. Want to learn ego discipline and humility? Play tennis. Want to read people? Try fencing. Want to learn what performance really means? Do any of these at a serious level. Dismissing athleticism is just farcically ignorant and effete.

Maybe the argument against these is that they require class, but I know poor kids who have achieved at the highest levels of most of them, and they earned the class distinction and respect for their skill that comes with the competence. Merely learning to call things problematic and fall into line commands no respect from anyone, and it has created a layer of anxious impostors driving institutions into the ground.

Incumbents often maintain large budgets to ward off competition. Competition wins enough to keep bidding, etc. If America is not full of monopolies, the bidding environment stays liquid. There is also the threat of using literal brand name targeting, or conquesting, which encourages your competition to run their own ads to keep you out.

I believe there are some agreements for larger corporations to continue to promote things even if it is not necessary. People with funny money can treat ad markets like billboards.

Another fucked up aspect is that the government often runs ads to promote its own policies.

Much like real markets there is sometimes unnatural activity that keeps it moving.

Professors, of course, don't feel threatened by students so want them to be as good as possible. But in a company where I had the same pay and title as the AI researchers, just different fields of work, me applications, they research, they realized real quick that if I kept doing 2-3 times more tasks than they were doing I would get experience with everything they knew. Everybody wants to have their own little field where they are the boss. A newcomer that keeps putting their nose everywhere might not be very desirable. I knew what I was doing and I knew the risk I was running. I was hoping that the project manager would support me. The manager did not support me, I was out.
> a 57-year-old man in the US has only a 50% chance of living to see their child reach 23 years of age

Perhaps a clearer way to put it: a 57-year-old man in the US has a 50% chance of living to 80, which doesn't seem quite as shocking of a statement.
Er, installing Vault isn't the hard part; using it is. I suspect some of that is just complexity inherent to the problem space, though.

>For pure signaling reasons, taking calculus in high school has become very important for college admissions.

I mean, it really depends on the school and the major. If you're taking a STEM major in college, having calculus on your resume is the equivalent of having a degree on your resume. You may not need it to succeed (I do not use calculus in my day to day job), but you can see why it makes you stand out.

But sure, if you're more on a medical/law/humanities track, calculus shouldn't really matter for your admissions. It only matters in that calculus makes you understand math better, and math is one of the core subjects used by the SAT/ACT. Naturally, knowing calculus makes those tests much easier to reason about. Maybe we should revisit why Math is weighed so heavily in national tests if we feel this way about math in the curriculum.

I can see the intents, but it feels like it sweeps the core problems under the rug. As usual for education.
> The other level of problem is that truth in reality means consensus

That’s the job of the prestigious media. They manufacture consent to the masses. They propagate right-think. Again, not a conspiracy but simply incentives.

Anyways, there is objective truth. Not everything can be settled that way though and you’re right in that “truth” can mean consensus in many instances.

The problem with that is that in many things the dissent is tasked with proving claims untrue, because of the consensus, rather than those making claim to knowledge having to prove it is true. There’s a lot of this today.
Churches spewing lies and hatred?

When’s the last time you’ve been to a sermon? For every church I’ve been to, there’s an abundance of talk about love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

As for ‘spewing lies’, I suppose you can argue that, but I can assure you the pastor doesn’t believe he is lying. Religion is grounded in faith for a reason
Diablo 3 was a native mac game. I never checked, assuming that Diablo IV is same (I mean its Blizzard, top tier game, with history of releases on most platforms, etc), so I can play it when I eventually get around to it. TIL that it isn't?! What a disappointment and also what the hell...

There’s a lot of great things about the French economy. There’s also plenty of areas where they lag behind the US.

The French labor force participation rate is ~74% compared to ~62% in America.

The French homeless rate is 3x the US rate.

France just defaulted on its national pension obligations a few months ago.

What policy exactly should we copy from France? If we’re still arguing about wealth redistribution policies I want a clearly articulated example of a superior system. I don’t see where it is in France but please lmk if I’m missing something.
Now a days we have zero sources of information for these city council meetings given newspaper industry can’t afford to cover local news.

We migrated our api server from flask Python to node-express-typescript. The gains of async, stricter typing and being able to share api schema types with frontend were totally worth it.

We got a nice boost on performance as well.

Love js for api server.
I am concerned about this as well. A number of geothermal projects in Nevada have reduced the flow of surrounding hot springs.

It sounds like they are doing injection, which is similar to what Bottle Rock is doing in the Calistoga mountains.

The real benefit I am hoping for is being able to revitalize the hot springs industry with soaking opportunities becoming more prevalent where they were not previously viable.

It's a lovely obituary. God speed.
I'm "guilty" of this too but my problem with this is that the monetisation controls the design.

If they're heavy on cosmetics, there's incentive to make the gameplay-obtained stuff worse. If they have QoL upgrades, the base experience is worse. If the cash shop exists, it's plastered all over the menus and with little annoying notifications, breaking immersion. Not to mention silly joke outfits, which generally proliferate even in serious games.

They designed Diablo 4 at a very high zoom level - my guess is this is so you focus on your character more, making you want to deck them out in cosmetics. This limited FoV makes gameplay worse.

You log in to town in PoE, instead of your hideout, where you want to spend most of your time. The players suspect this is so you see other players in their supporter pack outfits, tempting you to do the same. This is a small annoyance, but it's there, and won't be fixed.
Yes, agree! We try to re-use as much opensource software as possible. One difficulty is that we are also trying to make it as easy as possible to self host the CRM. If we start including all these tools by default, it will be hard for people who self host to manage all these tools.

Our current plan is to have Twenty supporting different drivers for everything. By default, you only have the basic ones implemented (let's say CSV import + direct connection to Postgres). Then, if you wish and take time to add the right configuration, you can activate Airbyte, Segment...

The same goes for file storage for example: by default we use local storage, but we also make S3 drivers)

On the cloud version, we would of course made all these drivers available.
Right, but these judgements have yet to be levied. The problem they are solving with this maneuver is ensuring a common/fair result for the people suing, without the "unreasonable" step of declaring bankruptcy on the company as a whole without actual obligations.

As other comments have mentioned, Matt Levine has an excellent article describing the logic behind their actions.

Experimental static ownership checks for C
I am currently experimenting with static ownership checks for C, aiming to provide guarantees that resources are released when necessary.

As this is a work in progress, bugs are expected. More flow analysis is required.

Despite that, you can still try out the checks online and observe some helpful error messages.

Simply visit the website below and select the 'Extension - Ownership' samples.

http://thradams.com/cake/playground.html

The C type system was extended with some new qualifiers. But only with flow analysis is possible to understand when variables goes out of scope or understand when the variables have been move before the end of scope.
As I said, this is a work in progress but I am already very optimistic.
But how? I can't see a way to pass it...my stupid brain...
I disappointed that many HN commenters don't understand their privilege. I don't argue that any language other than English should be lingua franca, but people good at English thanks to their born environment should aware that there are many people who learn hard to catch up (and hardly catch up as native level).
I‘ve written a UI a few months ago with only lithtml and direct DOM manipulation and it worked pretty well.

I needed to do calculations and reading bounding boxes from the DOM initially and on resize. Basically a hack to get around CSS limitations.

It was crucial that this is fast enough to avoid flickering.

I wouldn’t have attempted this with react. I think it would still be possible with useEffect, but I tried the most lightweight and fast by default approach that was feasible.

Have a look at lithtml.
> but what does concern for climate change mean if one is anti-nuclear, if one is against the second-biggest climate neutral source of energy[1]?

Those figures are from 2020 and it's likely that wind will overtake nuclear this year and solar will do the same within a few years.

Ah, yep that makes complete sense if you want to per-tenant schemas. My app is multi-tenant but all have the same schema. We use a customer_id column that's matched against the JWT's customer_id token to ensure that no data is shared inadvertently by a dev missing adding a WHERE clause.

Thanks for the SF link, that's quite interesting. It seems bonkers to me to throw away all the advantages of the RDMS but you can't argue with their success.

A middle ground I've encountered in an ERP system (prophet21 if you're interested) was each table had multiple "CUSTOM_XX" columns that were initially blank. Customers could edit their UI and would drag/drop the custom columns onto the appropriate form and change the label to be whatever they'd like. That gave them some flexibility but kept the core schema coherent.
Well, I'm pretty safe. I've got resources, property in the midwest far from the coasts which will have to contend with rising tides and increasingly severe storms. North enough to be spared at least most of what's coming for the western US (soon to be desert) or the southern US. Almost half the nation's population lives along the coasts. Many will be pushed inland. Maybe they'll go to new cities built in safe areas. Maybe they'll connect with family and friends in other places in which case it's going to be a squeeze. Probably some of that will be near me. There will be unique challenges and new problems for all of us. A reduction in food availability, strained services due to population expansion, culture clashes etc. I have family in places that today can't get drinkable water from their taps due to lead contamination by the city. We're starting from behind the 8 ball in a lot of ways. It's not going to be easy for anyone, but I (and likely most the people here) will have a much easier time than others.

It's not easy to imagine myself and my family as climate refugees, because I have never experienced the level of poverty many of them will have come from (and I've been homeless!), I can only try to imagine what's it's like to lose everything and have your city washed away, or be forced to leave because there's no food. What I can imagine more easily is hearing that the US will give my family a home, in a safe place to live with water and food on the condition that I move to a clean, beautiful city they just built with the only catch being that I have to live there for at least, say, 10 years.

I'd still be able to try my luck at several other countries to see what they offer, but I'm guessing I'd be thrilled! I'd get flown from the border to a city in the northern part of the country where many others around me speak my language and several of my neighbors share my culture and we can support each other while we work to adapt to our new home. There are lots of jobs because new cities need people everywhere, and so I'd have more money than I'd made before. I'd miss my home and my old life, but me and my family would be safe and cool and fed. I'd be even better off if I were someone who was already wealthy, highly educated, but suddenly lost their home due to climate change.

The US is a country that will face many problems because of climate change, but we're also one of the lucky ones because we'll have places that can still grow food at scale, provide water, and maintain livable temperatures. That gives us a responsibility to help take in the billion+ refugees from elsewhere. Somehow we have to figure out how to do that without jeopardizing what we have or hurting the very people we're trying to help. We'd better figure it out fast too. By some estimates we've got as little as 25-50 years, and some people believe that the largest mass migration of humans in Earth's history is already well underway.

Arguments in the first part are really bad. I haven't read about ai safety that much, but still see it.

For example, ASI may be able to automate manufacturing really quickly, maybe be able to convince humans easily to do what it needs, etc
Moreover, why ai would not be competing with us for resources? Materials on earth are finite.

Also, most likely scenario is not evil AGI, as it outlined in the article, but indifferent. And basing reasoning about AI on Darwinian evolution is barely useful.

Also, talk about this tribal people AI is ironically even worse then silicon valley narrow viewpoint: it is Californian liberal virtue signaling.
I think the answer varies widely based on the underlying geology and what you're building.

Ancedote: My neighborhood in Lousiana was a land-filled swamp. Building a single story house there required driving dozens of pylons in to keep the house from sinking into the dirt. When we put a pool into the backyard, it had to be partially filled with water while the concrete was still hardening because otherwise the surrounding water table (something like two feet below the surface) would have popped it out of the ground.

This is probably less of a concern on, say, the Colorado Plateau.
"and you really only want hints of it." What's wrong with full-on stride? Or using close-voiced four-to-the-bar chords? Or "mini-stride"? (Like stride but not moving the hand, only playing a chord broken up in the middle) Or mashing octaves/6ths in the left hand?

I'm rather worried about having a large table being able to accommodate for any custom object than the fact it is multi-tenant, we could shard by tenant_id quite easily.

Depends, I guess. Physics has the same issue. Where introductory physics can be taught with formulas, AP physics expects you to understand the calculus behind the formulas and not simply spout out random factoids. There's no particularly best approach here.
Thanks so much! Agreed 100%. Data sync has been in the top of our list since day one. We are still thinking of the best way to build it to make it work smoothly though.
The lack of trust aspect resonates with me. I find interactions with people I know well and connect with to be the opposite of draining. It seems like different people just have different criteria for what constitutes positive interaction. And my experience says even that varies for an individual, depending on mood, energy level, or whatever other factors.
It was before open source and it was the most open thing. That combined with 'the internet is the future'. It was just a rocket ship.
Westerners are into that too now, I won't name names but they're happy to do it because they consider it a business expense (a tax deduction so not free, but after you add the views and subs and donations, and sometimes sponsorships, worth it). I think the influence they wield in normalising their spending habits is a problem - some say to not do what they do, but it's all a very exciting process for people and I'm sure plenty of viewers say something like "yeah spending $20,000 is stupid, I'll only spend $500".
Too bad they don’t hand out jail sentences. Kind of amazing considering the amazing negligence at play is some of these cases.
I've been using a separate SSH config for git for a long time now. Nice to see it wasn't just paranoia.

No the public discourse around this has been, for years at this point, that this isn’t true. Stating anything else gets one labeled as an anti-science conspiracy theorist at best or a fascist at worst. Surely you know this.
Also most of those don’t work too well in a group setting, where other instruments are already serving the same purpose.

Your comment made me think of the most recent indie-ish game I've discovered (albeit late to the party) which is Hades.

Looking at it in light of this discussion, it would have been way too easy to include microtransacations. Make it a little harder, make the elements you invest into building your character a little more scarce, sell the weapon aspects... It's an absolute blessing really that it didn't happen that way.

Poker is different than most other games in that you are not competing against the house. You can never ever beat the house (in the long run).

Which is okay in poker because you win your money from other players.

You don’t have to be “good”. You just have to be better than the next person at the table (and sufficiently better to outrun the house take).
It might also be loaded with the assumption the man has a child - I'd assume outcomes are different for those with and without? I wonder by how much.
