1000% agree with you that things were much worse once we go beyond grandparents. Just antibiotics and democracy alone have improved every person's life.

>> AFAIK is from Bill Maher: If you think you have it tough, read history books.

Be careful when Conservatives tell you to be complacent or grateful. There is a typical line "you are worrying about your $15hr minimum wage when kids half your age work in coal mines".

You can use such arguments for all sorts of nefarious purposes "you think your public school is overcrowded? go to Africa" "you think healthcare in the US is bad? go to rural Nepal" "you think crime is high in SF? go to 1800s NYC"

But why should we aspire to that? Why not aspire to more?
You are completely right about this being a shallow treatment of a complicated subject.

There are many different functions the concept of the "growth mindset" serve. Unfortunately, we do not differentiate between them, which as you pointed out can make quite challenging to even discuss.

For example, the OpEd by Hattie you linked is also a fairly undeveloped exploration of what we are really getting at when we discuss the growth mindset. On one hand, for example, it is a way to help children cope with psychological struggle. On the other hand, it is a paradigm by which we live and fit into societal hierarchical structures.

I would argue that although having a fixed mindset might be a "tool" to use so that you don't "try too hard and hurt yourself" (which is more or less what Hattie argues), it is a terrible general paradigm to live by as it is fundamentally, a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you are born "dumb" and unable to read, that will always be the case. Obviously this is not how brains work. The reasonable conclusion here is that the growth-mindset is the closer model to reality and the fixed-mindset is a tool to help handle "moments in time".
In mere privacy terms?

- a women start planning to have a child, her employer know that, she got fired before the conception, legally;

- you are someone who know his/shes knows his rights, no jobs for you since you are not easy to exploit;

- you have a certain political opinion, not nice toward the present government? You'll got hard career and all possible "issues", just like getting more traffic red lights than someone else, more police checks causing delays and so on.

The list is long. The point is: we can't design a society like a factory, we can't plan evolution beyond banal things, so we need noise, variability that nobody can master to ensure nothing can last too much impeding further evolution just because someone manage to grab a certain position of power and do want to end the history to remain there forever in a loop. That's why we need privacy, diversity, and so on.
It turns out that printing money to fund deficit spending isn't free at all.
I theorize the prevalence depends on factors like how competitive the market is. In a highly competitive market, the organization can’t tolerate gross failure for very long without failing, so it either manages this kind of person out or does not survive.

The amount of othewise very smart people who completely lose the ability to think critically when it comes to "AI" is really interesting to me.

I'm not anti-AI; I've recommended that we use it at work a few times where it made sense and was backed by evidence/bencharmks. But for essentially any problem that comes up someone will try to solve it with ChatGPT, even if it demonstrably can't do the job. And these are not business folks, these are engineering leaders who absolutely have the capability to understand this technology.
FWIW, I've been using http://zim-wiki.org for YEARS. Sites a little messy and I need to clean it up, but it's extremely functional; I host my college classes websites from it, to the point that I forced myself to learn the Canvas API, to just clone the page from this site to the front page of Canvas and change the links so they come back here.

> And the Crusades were a direct response to Islamic invasions of Europe.

In 1204 there was no Islamic invasion in these parts of Eastern Europe which the Westerners sacked and pilfered at will.

> But this whole self-flagellation thing never been about actual mutual appreciation of different cultures.

All I see it's an inferiority complex (on the Westerners' part) that is oftentimes transformed into some sort of cultural colonialism, there's no self-flagelation in saying that, yes, for hundreds of years the West was culturally inferior to the Islamic civilisation (and to civilisations located further East more generally speaking). Fernand Braudel's works are a good introduction into that subject.

I was looking for real cases. Theory won't convince the nay-sayers
Part of the issue with search, I cannot 'totally' blame on Google. (Note: I blame them some. Made $300,000,000,000 last year. Have 140,000 employees. Their main product is search + ads. There should be an army of programmers working to make the experience relevant / pleasant / not unusable).

However, there's also an army that works to fill every single slightly "wrong" search result with 100's of answers (they're not even necessarily malicious).

I tried to search for HyperPhysics [1] the other day. Yet, for the life of me could not remember the exact name. Hypertextbook, Super Physics, Super Curricula, Super Simple Physics, ect...

What was the size of your grandfather's home? If you built a comparable home today , the same distance from the center of a city of comparable size to the nearest city center when he bought the home, and you were allowed using comparable building codes, how much would that house cost?

It's nearly impossible to actually compare these things. Comfort, and safety, are inherently difficult to value. Things like energy efficiency are difficult to price because of externalities. Externalities along make these kinds of things impossible to compare.

For example, one of the reasons building was much cheaper 80 years ago was because there was very little environmental regulation.
This isn't the first article on this.

Nothing stops me. I just don't do that.
> Second, kids don't acquire all their information about themselves from their parents and teachers. By the time they reach early elementary school, kids, especially smart ones, know whether they are trying harder than their peers and whether they're succeeding more than their peers. They know what was easy and what was hard from their own experience, and they have a theory of mind and if an adult tells them something at odds with their experience they could just devalue that adult's credibility.

We're not saying to praise hard work that wasn't. We're saying to give more kudos for good outcomes from effort than good outcomes from natural talent.

The reasons to do this:

- Eventually things always get hard enough that you can't carry the day on talent alone. If you haven't learned to persevere in things that don't come naturally by then, you're going to have a bad time.

- If your self-image is tied too much to ability, then every new task is a potential to fall down and "lose" what others consider special about you without much opportunity for gain; a lot of bright people avoid things that could be tests of their ability because of this fragile self-image.

There's no simple word trick that can accomplish this alone, but framing rewards around effort is one thing (along with seeking appropriate challenge, etc) that can help.

And if you've got a kid who's really talented, it's still likely to be problematic. My oldest is accelerated 4-6 years in math (depending on your baseline) and still breezes through everything with very low effort. But the few times that he's encountered something that's hard for him, he's folded and shown avoidant behavior very quickly compared to peers. He has not needed to build the skills, and characteristics of self-image, needed to try hard at difficult things and it shows.
I think _maybe_ he meant that you can't tell that you heard a C and an F, only that you heard a perfect fourth. Even that's not 100% true: some people can tell. And it's certainly not what he said.

PR.

More content than you might expect, in a variety of “reputable” news outlets as well a veritable plague of blogs, is paid placement. Either through the outlet directly, or through a contributing writer that has (not all that) covert connections to PR firms.

PR pieces are often very subtle and difficult to detect because they tend to be on orthogonal subjects to the intended ”drive by” messaging.

After engaging PR and marketing firms for a few years now and seeing the kind of things that show up on their price lists, I have near zero marginal faith in media as a source of unbiased information. You end up seeing the fingerprints of priming, perverse incentive and commercialised bias in nearly everything.

Why do you think all those article writers write? Few of them are directly compensated.

Why is "finishing a computer language book" somehow the criteria for anything?

Computer knowledge is highly indexable and "look-upable". You can grasp things from fragments, as long as they're above the size of few paragraphs, say an article. Sometimes less.

There's no treasure at the end of a computer book. Especially a bad one, and frankly many are bad ones. Why? Because everyone fancies themselves a computer programming expert and is writing books. Many of the self-proclaimed gurus give terrible advice overall, like "Uncle Bob" for example. At the same time even expert advice becomes dated by the time a book title becomes popular.

It's not the 90s anymore.

This can be a misleading statistic. A lot of people use credit cards as a substitute for cash, and pay off the balance every month. This is accounted as "debt" but in a practical sense it is not.

Oh please, the contortions done by many clinical experts, media reporters, politicians and so forth to justify the mass gatherings of BLM protests while explicitly condemning other types of large gatherings and protests that weren't given a social seal of politically correct protection were blatant, common and obvious.

As for what you say about outdoor gatherings vs indoor gatherings, you're doing the same. Many of those BLM protests were not well-spaced light outdoor meetups, they involved thousands of people jam packed together in the streets. Aside from political affinity towards them or not, if you're criticizing large gatherings based on COVID fears as many of a certain political persuasion did, the BLM groupings had absolutely no reason to get a free pass.

I live in a—4th tier is selling it short, but 3rd tier seems generous, call it 3.5th tier—city, and am always shocked at how much cheaper good restaurant food, baked goods, et c. are in "real" cities compared to here. Anything non-shit is basically 20-50% more expensive here than in HCOL cities. Makes no sense, these places should have like 1/5 the rent costs and lower labor costs than the major coastal cities, yet, prices are sky-high and quality's often not even that good.

Groceries are about the same price. More expensive for some things, cheaper for others.

Health care's more expensive here, with lower quality, because it's a flyover red state.

HCOL only seems to apply to housing. Everything else is about the same or cheaper in "HCOL" cities. May not hold for other smaller/poorer cities, but very much does for ours.
There was no copy protection being bypassed in that era, and ripping CDs was just a normal thing that people did to listen to music on their computer without having to worry about scratch discs etc.
That's Putins own words.

Besides, we already have plenty of evidence of this not being delusional: as you say, lots of Ukrainians are dead, even more wounded and yet the Russians keep coming. Weakening Russia isn't for NATO's benefit, NATO already borders Russia. It's for Ukraine's benefit first and foremost.

Also, I'm quite surprised that you would engage HN in your propaganda efforts.
You can trust someone with some thing but not with another one, and someone else trusting differently. It isn't merely trusting someone more than someone else or less than someone else.

Grindr Accused of Union Busting: Report
At a time when unions are fighting for workers' rights across the country and companies are responding by using tried-and-true union-busting techniques, the LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr has reportedly issued its employees an ultimatum: Move across the country to work in an office or lose your job.

Right on the heels of the workers announcing they were unionizing two weeks ago, Grindr sent out a new return-to-work policy that requires workers to either move within 50 miles of the company’s new offices or their jobs will end on August 31, according to Vice, who obtained a copy of the certification form sent to workers on Monday night.

This is awesome to see, feels heavily inspired (in a good way) by the version we made at Vercel[1]. Same tech stack: Next.js, NextAuth, Tailwind, Shadcn UI, Vercel AI SDK, etc.

I'd expect this trend of managed ChatGPT clones to continue. You can own the stack end to end, and even swap out OpenAI for a different LLM (or your own model trained on internal company data) fairly easily.

> Then don’t buy a new car? Buy used.

In 1998 I bought a used 1989 Chevy Corsica for $1,800 all-in out the door. I'll admit I don't remember how many miles it had but it never had any major problems in all the years I drove it. There was a near unlimited sea of options for ~10 year old cars for around $2,000.

In 2023, if you want a similar size 10 year old car (2013) a quick Googling suggests you'll be paying about $10,000 minimum for a car with 100-120k miles on it. Expect to pay $20,000 if you want a low'ish amount of miles (under 25k). Keep in mind this is the price on the website which you know will be more by the time you really purchase it.
Standard practice in tech, especially enterprise. I've had to create all kinds of vaporware over the years that was passed off as real. Not something I've ever felt good about, but I would like to be able to pay rent. I hate it.

The devs themselves can be cheap, but by the time you've jumped through many of the hoops to actually get them employed for you - they might not longer be THAT cheap.

> Important phrase: "keep faith in" - faith is always in play (it is fundamental to culture & consciousness), and it is healthy for the institution of science to acknowledge it imho.

Science does rest on unfalsifiable foundations, but this isn't productive to discuss. I'm talking about the faith that scientists aren't making stuff up given the reasonable foundations we all already agree on.

> Might this be an instance of "You only need to lie about or misrepresent a few facts to undermine a whole field, and to an outside observer it looks like {the field} got conclusively btfo"?

I don't think so. If you accept my premise that authoritative fields should be held to strict and conservative scientific standards, then critical theory is categorically ruled out by it's own definition. Yet people dress it up as if it were strict and conservative field, like a cargo cult.

> You are discussing your opinion/interpretation of critical theory, necessarily, but it would be very easy for readers (or even yourself) to form a belief (which is typically perceived as knowledge) that your subjective evaluation is objective and accurate.

I think I made my premises clear, but I dislike the suggestion that they are merely my opinions. Most people actually share my views, but are willing to pick and choose when they apply them.

> Science and its methodologies are excellent for figuring out the physical realm, but watch out if you apply these methods to the metaphysical realm.

I'm not applying science to critical theory. My issue with critical theory is it's methods.
You are technically correct, but I would posit “secretly holding two full time, demanding, salaried jobs” is an extremely strong predictor for failing to perform sufficiently at either. Given that, it’s a simple matter of weighing those odds against the costs involved in proving it.

One common argument is if you can’t tell their performance is impacted, they must actually be performing adequately. Except, in a different context, we will happily explain how our own performance can’t be measured by number of lines changed or bugs fixed.
For now, we mostly focus on building solid foundations and having a design that can be easily extended by the users. It is already run in production at some local companies and we will see whether this is more adoptions in the next months.
