I don't know how the author used the word "heritable", however if we expand the scope beyond genetics – eg, a child of an academic parent might inherit that parent's cultural attitudes towards education via their upbringing – then it would be even more uncontroversial to say that IQ is "largely" heritable.

I personally assumed the author meant the variance of IQ within a population is "largely" a product of genetics. Assuming they they believe this genetic factor is around 50% then this would not be a controversial position to hold among intelligence researchers.
The SEC regulates financial markets, and that's key to investors' trust in them. A job in financial markets is not the same as a job in, say, sports.
I got the impression the author was mainly complaining about Google's role as arbiter of what software users may run. The problems from deprecating APIs are just what brought the author's attention to how vulnerable we've become to Google's whims.
The additional skill is the speed. It’s just a skill you and I don’t possess. It’s like saying there should be a height limit and basketball and that should make it more fun for really tall players who now have an extra challenge. It just benefits shorter players, or slower in this case.
> Not every web site needs HTTPS.

Every site does. HTTPS should be the default, that increases security even if you're just looking at cat pictures in a given context.

> It matters not at all if some government sees me checking the weather, or reading about the best seeds to plant this time of year.

Absolutely does. Much can be deduced from your activity, like whether you're home, what your interests are, who you talk to, what skills you have. If somebody gets poisoned, then your interest in botany might suddenly make you of interest.

For the most part nobody really wants to read your boring emails. But that you regularly talk to some controversial person, or spend a lot of time in their proximity, that's juicy information that may well paint a target on your back in the wrong circumstances.

> And 99 44/100% of the MITM hype is pure theoretical hysteria. There is a very long distance between "could" and "will" and "can" and "did."

Good news: it absolutely happens. MITM has been used for injecting ads in content, which of course can be used to nefarious effect. From just unethical, like replacing a site's original ads with your own and robbing them of the income, to actually malicious payloads.

I wrote this in a recent article [1]:

Today, if a wealthy benefactor wanted to emulate a Renaissance patron and fund an architect or artist to create a new town square or city park, it’s unclear how he or she would even go about doing so. There don’t appear to be any financial instruments specifically designed for rewarding investors that fund integrated artworks. The design of the public space would almost certainly be watered down and subject to various governmental councils and community groups. Hostile attitudes toward the wealthy would probably result in the park being vandalized, if it were actually built.

The hostility toward ideas like this new city is a major reason why we don’t have Renaissance-quality architecture anymore. Some of the most beautiful cities in the world were funded by the past equivalent of billionaires.

Today, there is too much resentment and tall poppy syndrome and any attempts to use private funds toward architectural projects is immediately criticized as being a bad thing.

Articles keep appearing criticizing the film for a myriad of reasons, but most of those reasons turn out to be a) staying on its narrative focus of Oppenheimer, the man b) Not being enough of a commentary on the dangers and horrors of nuclear weapons. As someone who appreciates film, writing and Nolan’s first grounded, character-driven work in quite some time these criticisms are not only frustrating, but seem geared toward being nothing more than rage inducing click bait.
> The practical effect of this security bug is quite limited.

You are probably correct (although it's hard to say for sure that you've considered every single compiler optimization).

But even if you are correct, the point of the parent poster still stands:

> something that triggers undefined behavior in C is not to be dismissed as lightly as the article is doing.

I agree with this.

Notice how long your explanation was. The author of the article did not provide a similar explanation, or even an abbreviated one, in order to justify the claims that the bug does not have security implications. In fact, the author didn't even have to provide such an explanation, but he could have at least acknowledged the possibility, which could then be argued to be dismissable based on his (extensive) experience.

I'm not saying that there are security implications or that the burden of proving that there aren't any is on the author of the article.

I'm only agreeing with the parent poster that you cannot easily or simply claim that the bug is not a security vulnerability, without giving some consideration to the possible impact of UB, or at least acknowledging the possibility.

Not acknowledging this possible impact can in fact reinforce misconceptions about the security implications of bugs in C code that lead to UB.

I'm not super familiar with YouTube terminology, is "YouTube Partner Program" something that applies to anyone who has ads on their YouTube channel? Seems to me something you need to apply to, and also only available in Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States which probably excludes more than 50% of popular channels on YouTube.

It seems to me that YouTube would serve ads on any channel, not just those part of the YouTube Partner Program, but the % revenue share isn't published for non-partners it seems.

What stories are you guys talking about?

You guys are making it seem like this is a common occurence and I've never heard of anything like this. I've never heard of teachers frequently sharing personalized stories that are also true to help people learn a subject.

In fact, the opposite, most subjects like math or physics have made-up problems to isolate and make simple the concept they're trying to teach. Adding a constraint for realism would just be needlessly complicated.

Also not scalable - if these stories are so effective, why not put them in a book to share with everyone?

The only stories any of my teachers ever shared with me were historical events that were grounded in reality.

Are there just a whole bunch of educational institutions that are teaching things around a campfire and a long-form stories like in ancient times?
Do teachers as we know them even exist in a world where that idea of tutoring goes to scale ?

Do students as we know them even exist in such a world ? I'm thinking if AI can effectively teach (AI asks questions to the student, gives feedback and leads the lesson, reacts to situational events, maintains discipline etc.) then AI can also do. Aside from the romantic take of learning for the pleasure of learning why would we assume that such AI teachers aren't also going to be AI employees. Why would humans even have the drive to learn stuff on a mass scale if the main or one of the main motivators for education is the market (or is it ?).
> Edge is breaking this cardinal rule: Browser chrome belongs to the browser, but the content area belongs to the application alone.

I think the end user should have 100% control or access to it. I do not think this would be an issue if this was a niche browser that the user needs to seek out. Or if browser usage was spread across tens of browsers instead of 2-3 or some other form of highly competitive market with users willing to switch at a moments notice.
I don't really think the education system has anyone but themselves to blame for that then. It's their policy that's the problem, and they who failed to consider its sustainability when they implemented it. I realise I'm grouping a hell of a lot of people and layers together in one collective noun, but it's certainly more reasonable than blaming Google because you just assumed a device would be supported forever
But you don't want to be ideological about user sovereignty over their own devices, do you? Be smart and pragmatic instead, and walk the path of least resistance into a cage.
Yes, I agree. Postwar buildings are much more likely to be featureless compared to 19th or early 20th century buildings, even regular houses. I think the economic boom and demand for new houses and buildings contributed to skipping the sort of traditional detail and ornate finishing work for the sake of moving on to the next project.

Captain Cliché, AI that only responds in platitudes
If I were to keep my insurance policy number in my car in the form of 9 bricks with a number on each one, I honestly wouldn't notice. The car would seem to drive exactly the same. There are even plenty of dead spaces to hide them where they wouldn't even noticeably consume cargo space.

Yet for some reason I will not place 9 unneccessary bricks in my car, nor tolerate them if I discovered them already there.

Is the "some reason" irrational?

There is a slight irony to a youtuber posting a rebuttal "for likes", arguing against the original paper being too focused on the "media algorithm".

I think Avi Loeb is an optimist on aliens, and his paper is not a traditional one, but is throwing some possible explanations out there for something that was very odd, oumuamua. To call him a crackpot, or (that guy) is a bit disingenuous imo.

Nobody would call Drake a crackpot, but his drake equation was an interesting philosophical idea none the less, I personally think we need both, and the physicists getting upset by this seem more insecure to me about someone else getting academic prestige in an unexpected way.

How outdated are the dataset used to train Cody? Something I find frustrating with ChatGPT4 is that it is still blocked in 2021, making it a pain to use with more recent libraries or frameworks. I’ve been doing some unreal engine development this year, and while ChatGPT knows UE4 really well it often provides me with outdated APIs or concepts when trying to learn UE5 C++. If Cody can directly learn from UE5 sources, that would be awesome.
Neither did I. I meant to say that such acts have little to no positive effect in dysfunctional systems. After all, every country has activists.

Gandhi's nonviolent resistance moved the British but did not persuade Hitler, though he tried.

Anyway, these are all good things. I don't mean to dissuade well-meaning activists. Just pointing out that you need to understand the environment you are operating in instead of blindly emulating others.
I was hoping to read an objective essay but some flags pop up quite early. Early on, he talks about woke-bias in the media and woke-bias in the academic world. Ok. I'll check out his other articles and he has an interview with Chris Williamson, one of his idols. I look at Chris' stuff. He has an interview with some guy associated with the film Sound of Freedom. Ok, I'm getting big red flags here! So take what this guy says with a huge grain of salt. He's probably trying to push an anti-woke agenda. Oh yeah, another one of his articles is "Does Woke Ideology Make People Sick?".

This is unambiguously true, but at the same time it's not an answer. There's a deeper problem here that I don't think you can dismiss with "well, people vote for it". Yeah. And people voted for redlining, and people voted for school segregation.

It is very hard not to see (growing up in such places and visiting occasionally still) a deep-seated kind of racism driving a whole lot of that separation, much more than "I want cars". You see elsewhere in the thread the predictable dog-whistles of "crime"--but rural crime is prevalent, too! It's just crime perpetuated by...well...people who look like those worried about crime. You see right-wing influencers on YouTube getting strapped to go to cities or even to Subway restaurants and it's not because of actual incidents--one's more likely to commit suicide with a firearm than to have to "defend oneself". It's just saying the quiet part loud.

At some point we're going to need a societal unfucking, and this is symptomatic (but not causative) of why we need it.

Not sure if you'd be interested in what Islam says about consciousness. But I can share a verse from the Quran.

> ( 85 ) And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." ( 86 ) And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us. Quran 17:85-86

In Islam the soul and consciousness are considered one. Even sleep is considered "small" death.

The belief is oth the soul and body are created. And that the soul soul will be resurrected into a new body in the day of judgement.

In chapter 19 "Marry":

> ( 9 ) [An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' " Quran 19:9

And from the same chapter:

> ( 67 ) Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing? QURAN 19:67
Where exactly are you seeing any pointed judgement of the film in the piece? The author didn't even ask Nolan about the Congo when he had the opportunity, nor does he now express regret that he didn't.

Crucially, the title is actually fairly thoughtfully worded (for once). "didn't show", not "failed" or "neglected to".

Come to think of it I'm now curious how this is possible. With cracking open bottle tops, it is all leverage (not strength, power, or some physical gift) but I would think chewing glass has got to be some special type of skill or physical ability. I didn't have a curious mind for it then since I didn't think it was a special skill although I did not dare try it as it seemed to me as dangerous as it sounded
Given the context, the probability of that being tongue-in-cheek has to be quite high.

Internet cafes are thriving in areas of Israel with a large Charedi/ultra-Orthodox Jewish population. Many choose not to have internet access at home for religious reasons, and in some communities there is a certain amount of social pressure on the subject. Internet cafes provide a way to get stuff done when necessary.

Generally the internet is filtered, and the screens are visible to passers-by, so this isn't a way to access verboten material - it's just for getting stuff done.

It's by choice. Those who do wish to access frowned-upon-things generally find a way to do so without too much trouble.
Yes: that's what I took the author to mean too. And that's not an argument heritability statistics can make. My point is that the author has confused "heritability" with "genetic determination".

That sounds idealistic, but not practical. Users want application developers to design applications for them, not use the browser settings to design & customize the application for themselves, because most users aren't designers, and even if they are, they don't want to spend the time.

Okay, I respect the hustle. However, now you are talking about maintaining a climate specifically how you want it. The climate changes naturally, I understand you are worried about a sudden human induced climate change, but that's not really the issue at hand when you want to preserve specific conditions. So who do we preserve the climate for, why is this the "right" climate? Will we ever decide to release more CO2 to create more farmland and warm cold climates? Why are we worried about people dying of heat when people die from cold 10/1? Are we going to hold back, say, 70 year climate cycles in Africa because we like things a certain way? Who gets to decide?

I think it's broken, but for other reasons. In the UK at least, secondary school exams are overwhelmingly about memorisation and prediction of what questions there will be rather than applying logical or investigative thinking. There's very little practical work, you sit in a chair and listen to the teacher or things on the whiteboard most of the time. Also, there's a majority feminine influence in education. All of these factors lead to me believe that education simply does not cater to males, and soaring grades of girls confirms this. In the UK, white males have been the poorest performing demographic on exams for the past decade. But nobody wants to talk about it interestingly.

I was fortunate to get an apprenticeship at the age of 16, which enabled me to get into the real world of work and build experience years ahead of everyone else. It's a completed overlooked path - most students still think they need a degree to get a good job.

Too bad I don't see a running game anymore.
Usually when people claim that HFT strategies “front-run” they are talking about aggressor/taker strategies that are trying to shave off every nanosecond of latency to increase the chance of a fill at the best possible price.

Because these strategies are actively racing other participants for a fill, some people (inaccurately) call this “front-running”, presumably because they are “running in front” of other participants, but this isn’t what is usually meant by front-running.

As another commented has pointed out, front-running (in the sense I described it in my previous comment) is explicitly prohibited by regulation in the US, so to misuse the term in this way is to accuse someone of acting illegally without actually understanding what the terms mean.
We have a small house in Cerrillos NM that has point-to-point networking, run by a co-op (shout out to La Canada, great people). But my experience has been that this is fairly rare - La Canada is the only example I know in NM for example.

Also, this isn't my understanding of what "mesh networking" really is. It's just providing RF access to a single wired access point. But it could be that I don't understand what mesh networking actually is.

Lies. The West had boundless kinship bonds as deep as they were wide, in fairly recent memory. The West brazenly wrecked them in the name of the profit motive.
