Some of the most superstitious people I've ever met were also some of the most data-driven people I've ever met. Being data-driven doesn't exclude unconscious manipulation of the data selection or interpretation, so it doesn't automatically equate to "objective".
I agree. As long as there are personal differences in motivation, intelligence, energy level and moral compass, there will be classes of some sort or another.
I’m sorry to hear about your brother.

> all my passwords and credentials are in my password manager, and the password to that was only in my head.

It’s not just death I worry about. Anything that causes me to lose my memory of the password, from disease to head injury, leaves those trying to help me locked out of everything.

A password manager is an incredibly helpful tool to leave behind, it’s a compiled list of all vendors you have registered an online account with.

But, IIUC, without legal authority to access those accounts on my behalf it might not be sufficient. I’m planning to talk to an attorney that specializes in taking care of the legal side too. IIUC there are accounts you need legal authority to access even if you have the password. For example, if I give my friend the password to my 401k with the purpose of managing my estate, them using that password can put them in a legally gray area.

Also planning to work out a rough order of importance and context for a subset of accounts can help. Like writing down which financial vendor is managing the life insurance policy and whether that’s tied to my employer or not (if I lose my job leading up to my death, I.e. during a long battle with an injury, will I lose my life insurance before it pays out?)

A “red binder” project is on my families short list - the “I’m dead or incapacitated, here’s what you do” playbook. The above is how I’m thinking about things. I would love to hear more thoughts/perspectives
Now I actually wonder were there ever any machines that had LPT9, COM9 I could barely see.
* How to feel my emotions and not suppress them or push them away. And why that matters in everyday life.

* The power of letting go of perceived control or outcomes and just focusing on what I can do now in the moment.

* How to be open and vulnerable and why it matters for building relationships.
The thing that gets me is that nearly every single podcast or article that talks about admissions and how fair/unfair they are focuses almost solely on Ivy League schools and leaves out the state and local colleges/universities that actually churn out 99% of college graduates in the US. Maybe we tax payers need to do better about steering the conversation towards those institutions that we fund as opposed to those that function almost solely in a closed legacy-admissions environment (regardless of what pretty/diverse narratives those schools would like to have us 'normies' believe).
> look at a problem from different angles

Sure, but just as a thought experiment imagine you have a really bad disease. I give you two options: 100 high-school students can diagnose and prescribe a treatment or you can choose 1 professional with 10 years of experience in related diseases.

You might initially prefer the professional with 10 years of experience. Would your opinion change if I told you that I selected the high-schoolers to be diverse so that one is pessimist, one is an optimist, one got good grades in engineering, one loves philosophy?

Of course, my intuition might be wrong. For example, perhaps it legitimately would be better to have 100 high-school students where one is a high-school level ability with ear-nose-throat, one is a high-school level ability in oncology, one is a high-school level ability in cardiology, etc. Except some control AI would have to synthesize their answers into a coherent response ... and that controller would be high school level.

I'm not really sold either way if I am honest. I don't think we have the answers to these questions. It just shows that my intuition about intelligence is open to challenges.
I have no issue with Harvard existing. However, it should be taxed on its endowment and it should not receive taxpayer support like student loans unless it commits to being a purely meritocratic institution.
A lot of places have badge in and out readers nowadays. Bolted in during pandemic to "help make sure we don't have too many people in the office for safety." Kept because of course it was kept.
Great comment. I take it, the use of "scary" is more of a tool to provoke a stronger reaction or animosity to the comment reader, more than actually the writer feeling "scared" after seeing people anthropomorphising AI.

It seems to be the current trend in communication nowadays: A race to induce the strongest reaction possible.

Why should someone be scared of that? We have anthropomorphised chairs, brooms and whatnot since the Walt Disney times and I am sure before in classic literature (I am not that literate to know for certain).

I prefer to be 'amazed' or 'excited' about what is happening: It means that AI is getting to a point where people feel it more 'relatable'. We are getting to that point in our technology development. The number of things we will be able to do with a technology with which we can interact that seamlesly is great.
As someone who’s been responsible for dealing with the consequences of “programmer” output, I’d say that they definitely should not be given the benefit of the doubt. While it may be hard to believe, the average “programmer” knows nothing about IT or networking or hardware, and you’d be lucky if they know where the power button is.

Generally “programmer” type folks are only power users in the context of software, possibly even only the software they wrote or tooling they chose.
On a related note, I consider paying for toll roads to be a form of health insurance. I know the newest teen drivers out cruising with their friends aren't paying $6 to race each other down the toll road and likely crash with me.

I've seen some crazy stuff on the freeways and much safer driving on toll roads.

ShieldQL Launch: A GraphQL Security Solution
My team and I are so excited to launch our open-source developer tool: ShieldQL, a lightweight GraphQL library that provides query security through user authentication, authorization, and query sanitization. We are a small and new team accelerated by OSLabs, so feedback is welcome and appreciated! Thanks so much, and we hope you have a great day.
My mother is an extreme hoarder and can confirm also obsessed with controlling others. In fact, she seems to have a severe lack of empathy for people, even her family, while having tons of empathy for her belongings.

Hoarding seems to have a large overlap of traits with narcissists.
And this is about organization wide teams, meaning those teams that people are automatically joined in, with up to 10000 members... So probably something you want to steer people away from.
That wasn't the question, rather comparing ClojureScript vs Blazor from OP.
I made the analogy because they were also swamped with orders and underdelivered on promises, but it's still a big deal and worth it despite that.

At this point it’s a chicken an egg problem - do russians really believe what you said, or are their beliefs a product of decades of internal propaganda?

I mean, yeah, probably many of them believe it now.

Personally, I lean towards this - after 20 years in power Putin is a defacto dictator perched on top of a government machine he constructed to keep him there. A machine composed of various pieces of corruption, propaganda, repressions, and bribes.

And like many dictatorships before - having to pressure relief valve of changing people in power, he has to deflect discontent elsewhere, external enemies, NATO, etc, and ply his population with achievements they can soothe themselves with while submerged in poverty and corruption. And justifications are made up as needed by the machine of the state.
Analogy still holds. Democracy ostensibly allows choice. If you have no choice, it’s no different than a monopoly.
Just when the hype around LLMs start to go away, those with stakes in the game drop a new hyped news. The lack of effectiveness and usefulness of these agents has been shown time and over. Interesting thought experiments, but not so much useful.

And there have been a lot of approaches to do this, my favorite one being the idea that maybe if we just randomly zap out some of the neurons while we train the rest, that forcing it to acquire that redundancy might privilege structured representations over memorization. Just always seemed like some fraternity prank, “if you REALLY know the tenets of Delta Mu Beta you can recite them when drunk after we spin you around in a circle twelve times fast!”

While your perspective is totally valid, I think the idea that you always have to think about and learn how to use your editor seems to confirm the original commenter's point about the whole thing being too complicated.

To which I say, I've been using Vim (and nVim) for more than 20 years now, and the learning part is optional after a year or so of intense use.
We're not doing so hot on the expectations for women either. People still assume Mom is going to quit and stay home more often than dad and her level of care is expected to be significantly higher. I'm a great dad when I go to a birthday party for one of the school friends. My wife is just mom, despite debilitating pain and chronic illnesses that people are aware of. She also plans all of the logistics and the gifts and everything else. I'm really good at showing up and playing though. Score!

I wouldn't choose to be a mom in this world. They're far too underappreciated.
Post made some good points but in the end it's pretty nihilistic to say that elite spaces shouldn't exist merely because they tend to cultivate elites and other elite spaces. Also very reductive to say that Harvard exists just to perpetuate elitism (no, it has a genuine educational and research mission, whatever its various flaws, that's patently clear).

The world is flawed and imperfect and perfect things don't really emerge from it. Harvard is glorious. Our best and oldest (in the US) university is bad because it's not sufficiently egalitarian, and let's destroy it? It's an engine for our society and other universities have followed in its footsteps. Stanford, Caltech, Rice, Berkeley, the Claremont schools, etc etc - none of these were in the original ivy league, all are imperfect to some extent in their admissions and embrace and fulfillment of egalitarian ideals. They are also glorious though. They make our country a dynamic, innovative, intellectually vibrant place and attract students from around the world. They absolutely are key to our (staggering) economic and cultural success (in the US).

Elite clubbiness is an unfortunate side effect of success, but it doesn't mean we should then intentionally obliterate the engine of that success out of distaste for the cose of it.

The thesis I've heard (and agree with) is that Python is a good everything language. For specialization there is always a better tool (although maybe more complex to get started).
They could have just made the article focus on how the big corps are trying to anger staff enough to quit on their own so they don’t have to pay severance. These companies are playing with fire. It turns out you do need some staff to finish projects and the more chaos you cause, the less will get done with existing staff.
Does that include CTOs? I've been around quite a few companies, and this ivy/oxbridge thingie mostly involves working in areas with a strong prestige element to them.

I.e. there get-shit-done areas, and there are showing-off areas, with very different ruling classes in them, different problems too.
There's nothing wrong with having "elites," so long as there is strong social mobility in society in both directions (progressive taxation, no bailouts for the rich, aggressive inheritance tax, lots of social services). In that case, the initial playing field would be a lot more balanced and people who are elites would have had to actually earn it themselves, rather than being recipients of an eternal legacy.
Looks like a great tool!

> But we agree on the ideal, right? In dreamworld, every kid would follow their own path. There would be no “advanced classes” or “tracks” because those concepts wouldn’t exist.

If I grew up in this ideal, I'd be a bum. I was a lazy and arrogant teenager; my ideal path was to go "oh, sh*t, I need to work hard or I won't get into a good school"

I'm not saying our system is perfect (or even good). But it's easy to critique a system when you acknowledge exactly 0 of its benefits.
"the observed boost of accelerations at lower accelerations is a mystery. What is intriguing is that this breakdown of the Newton-Einstein theory at accelerations weaker than about one nanometer per second squared was suggested 40 years ago by theoretical physicist Mordehai Milgrom at the Weizmann Institute in Israel in a new theoretical framework called modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) or Milgromian dynamics in current usage."

"Moreover, the boost factor of about 1.4 is correctly predicted by a MOND-type Lagrangian theory of gravity called AQUAL, proposed by Milgrom and the late physicist Jacob Bekenstein. What is remarkable is that the correct boost factor requires the external field effect from the Milky Way galaxy that is a unique prediction of MOND-type modified gravity. Thus, what the wide binary data show are not only the breakdown of Newtonian dynamics but also the manifestation of the external field effect of modified gravity."
For me the answer is simple: I think in vim.

It’s unclear how I got there. It was long ago but my guess is two key things: I believed in rumors/stories and I didn’t give up.

Tbh, if vim wasn’t vi-like, I’d still use it for its programmability. <- This is the main point beyond learning curve. Maybe I’d like emacs too, if I learned it. Or other modern editor. I’d even use vscode as it looks nicer and has many widgets, if only it wasn’t such pain in the ass to program and/or tune up to your taste.

I’m certain that everyone has to use what fits their personality.

(Added: not concerned with speed or whatever unless an editor starts choking or popping up interfering crap randomly. I use mouse when it’s convenient and mostly move with arrows except for AIO^$ - I don’t have homerow discipline anyway.)

I know this topic is near and dear to many

Not at all for me. Vim is not everywhere and when I have to take a quick note or copy-paste I often open Notepad2 (because I don’t want to switch between editing models). I just prefer vim model when it comes to long/structured editing sessions.
I would love to know who fabricated this myth and decided to just tell the story as if it were fact.
>In Europe, and I mean literally anywhere in it, renting a van to move, or even just throwing out big useless garbage is a normal thing.

It doesn't matter how convenient it is to rent a van, when neither you, nor the people inside your social circle, know how to actually drive a van. I've had a regular car driver's license for decades. An EV van is a whole different beast, as I found out the hard way while helping a friend move between apartments.

That's a distinction without a difference. In both cases, user privacy is compromised. If anything, the proposal to make "user agents" snoop on the user is even more infuriating. That sounds more like trojan horse than "user agent."
It’s not necessarily related to wealth (except that you need some savings), but when ING Direct was a thing my wife and I had an account for every savings goal and used it as our “envelope” system. There was no cost per account and you could open one in seconds, so we had a bunch of low value (dozens of dollars! Dozens!) accounts for saving for our next phone or vacation. That could have been done with a spreadsheet, but it was less work to just make separate accounts.
> Maybe the reason wikipedia seems left wing is something to do with the fact that a lot of right wing talking points [fall] apart under scrutiny.

I hear people say stuff like that a lot (e.g. reality has a X bias, where X is some identity of the speaker), but I'm convinced it's a flattering fiction. When someone disagrees with something, it often appears to "fall apart" to them when scrutinize it using their incompatible assumptions (e.g. the source of the disagreement). When someone agrees with something that's weak, they tend to avert their eyes from the problem. The end result is people feel they they couldn't be more righteously right, that their opinions are "objective truths," and that their opponents couldn't be more wrong, but the feeling is just a self-serving bias. That bias tends to go unchecked and unmoderated when the opponents are remote from one's day-to-day life and can be thoroughly othered.

Is it cheap?

That's about the same speed for me (in US), and I could get gigabit, but I feel that the ~double cost isn't worth it.
Wow, that's a strong claim. There are various counterexamples to this, so I'd say it's definitely not a law of nature. And anyway, nature by nature (lol) is essentially lawless. It's all random collisions of tiny molecules.

So, if anything, I'd say the one law of nature is that there are no laws of nature. Thus, no, there isn't always a ruling class. It doesn't have to be that way.
Very interesting product. It seems a natural extension to server side ECS. As someone currently running an MMORPG it's true that the game is essentially a real-time DB. Being able to collapse the serialization layer and the runtime layer is very intriguing and solves real problem when designing these types of games. Will have to find some time to give this a spin!
One of the points of the article seemed to be to do gating latter rather than earlier. I'm saying that this is detrimental as being around the dullest stars will make you a dull star more often than not.

Google actually provides this service: https://myaccount.google.com/inactive?pli=1

At this point I've moved almost everything off Google and basically now only use my Gmail account for logins on websites I don't want to give my real email address to and to keep Inactive Account Manager setup to send the necessary info to get into my 1Password account to my brother if I die.

I have a will setup with all my financial details and have set beneficiaries everywhere but this feels like a good backup in case I forget to update it with something or my family has trouble gaining access using other means.
Unless you live in a shit hole, the worse that can happen is for your government to "just" jail you based on the information you provided. But if you provide that same info to enemy forces, they might use it to get leverage on you, getting you into even deeper shit than you already were. And they'll eventually dump you anyway and you'll be in a much worse situation.
It's very possible and I considered it. But the UI/UX changes I made improved accessibility, and I decided that I'd rather keep those changes as I think they make for a better website anyways.

Maybe ironically, my analytics provider (not Google) has recently started showing the tiniest upwards momentum in Bing being a top referrer. Since all my traffic grew steadily after 2 years of no changes, I'm now curious to see what happens if I continue to just let it sit there.
just have some controls for shifting forward and backward and rotating the camera in 90 degree steps while bringing the piece with you, the falling piece still controls exactly like normal Tetris, but it rotates along with the camera rotating, it slides along the camera axis changes, and the camera plane always aligns with one row of the 3d stack, did I miss something or is this not the obvious approach? the adjacent block rows can become more translucent but maintain wireframe the further away from the focus row, etc
Yes. I see people promoted to elevated managerial positions not on merit but were they went to school. We deal with this by "managing up", it's exhausting.
For anything that is not Midjourney you can just flag as deformed :) Jokes aside, Midjourney is far far ahead of all the others in what it can generate.
There were plenty of agricultural societies that were also fairly egalitarian. One interesting bias we tend have is that we identify "advanced" societies by how much they look like our own. This leads to a general bias towards deeply hierarchial, stratified societies being described/perceived favorably in media against their less familiar neighbors.
I'm saying that the effect is much much more impactful than they make it seem with their one line throwaway comment in a long article.
