I read a "social compact" as more of a "social agreement," which gets at the bottom of consensus that he's talking about.

A "social construct" is quite different, that's something entirely constructed by society, like manners or nationalism.
> Like many folks in Latin America, I have two given names and two surnames (no hyphen). I run into IT systems that choke at my two surnames every now and then and it's a pain.

You presumably have a formal name: A B C D, with A and B being your two given names, C and D being your two surnames.

So what does it say on your ID?

Your birth certificate if you have no ID?

Does your countries revenue service address you as "Dear A B", "Mr C D", "Dear A", "Mr D" or something else altogether?
I wouldn't characterize him as being sceptical about Lean; this is what he says:

> Some terrific developments have happened with proof verification. Like [the proof assistant] Lean, which has allowed mathematicians to verify many proofs, while also helping the authors better understand their own work, because they have to break down some of their ideas into simpler steps to feed into Lean for verification. […] I’m not saying that I believe something like Lean is going to make a lot of errors. […] They can be a very valuable tool for getting things right — particularly for verifying mathematics that rests heavily on new definitions that are not easy to analyze at first sight. There’s no debate that it’s helpful to have new perspectives, new tools and new technology in our armory.

In between (the "[…]"s above), he says:

> But is this foolproof? Is a proof a proof just because Lean agrees it’s one? In some ways, it’s as good as the people who convert the proof into inputs for Lean. Which sounds very much like how we do traditional mathematics. […] I’m just not sure it’s any more secure than most things done by humans. […] I’m afraid I have a lot of skepticism about the role of computers. […] what I shy away from is the concept that we’re now going to have perfect logical machines that produce correct theorems. You have to acknowledge that we can’t be sure things are correct with computers. Our future has to rely on the sense of community that we have relied on throughout the history of science: that we bounce things off one another. That we talk to people who look at the same thing from a completely different perspective. And so on.

The latter part is less about the correctness and more about community: the main goal of mathematics is not merely a "true" theorems, but (human) mathematical understanding. I wrote an answer about this on math.SE in 2014 (mostly quoting Thurston and Rota): https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/632705/why-are-math...
I've seen a lot less engagement with my Facebook posts in the last couple years, and been shown a lot fewer posts from my friends compared to groups, ads, and "suggested" posts. I used to wonder if it was primarily because Facebook was openly downranking news and politics, and my friends and I posted about those things a lot more than your average users.

Now I think it's just because most of them have silently stopped using the platform -- but I think a big reason for that is we figured that if no one is going to see our stuff, then why post it at all? In other words, anticipating the algorithm led to a kind of chilling effect on our usage in general, at least for my own behavior.

Not that Internet political arguments have gone great with the current platforms and their incentives, but I don't like the idea that they might not happen at all, especially at a time that seems as important to discuss as this one.

I have to say, I think I would have hated this growing up. I have a tendency to become emotionally-invested in the quality of my writing, and I don't like people seeing it in a state I don't consider presentable.

Interpretation depends on the culture. In UK this is basically "you fucked up", in Germany this means "you did great with small nuances" :)
You are spot on about lying and intentional manipulation. It's a horrible way to be.

However. that's not what they said. They said "find something you genuinely like about an approach." It means you're smart enough to find the aspects that are worth reinforcing in the face of something that you find problematic. You can't just do it as a checkbox. You have to genuinely and authentically recognize the positive.
The fact that homework has become so prevalent that it takes more than an hour each day (on top of already a full time job's worth of classes) is a crime against childhood anyway, good riddance.
Agreed.

However, if high-end eBikes go the same way, then they will be even worse.
I agree that Turing Machines feel more natural to programmers than first-order logic (although "natural" doesn't necessarily mean "rigorously proven"), but there are no leaps of faith involved in Gödel's construction.

You can write down "P is provable" as a first-order sentence of arithmetic (which involves some number theoretic tricks), and you can also do the diagonalisation trick that gives you self-referentiality. That's really all you need.
Maybe not, but claiming that you work for a news organization when someone attempts to lazy their way out of making a business deal right is an easy way to get the service you should have received in the first place.

I was in the middle of getting scammed by a company out of Lithuania when I mentioned that I was going to turn this information over to a reporter at a company I work for, and the tone of the CS person changed from "I can't help you" to "yes, we will give you an immediate and complete refund."

> Any workplace that penalizes you for that, you should leave

I don't think that's necessarily what the parent means. I can totally imagine that the workplace will penalize those who get less praise (because if they don't get spontaneous complimentary feedback (or less), they are probably not as good, right?).

What happens for people who are less social, or more isolated (e.g. in a smaller team)?

Not saying that we should not compliment coworkers. Just that it is important to think that there are ways to do it wrong ("Let's have a white board collecting the nice feedback everybody gets, so that we all enjoy it! What do you mean this creates a public ranking in the office?").
You're really pettyfogging simply to be contrarian. C is a language with a large and active community, and is still the most common/popular language in its fields. Algol-68 and Fortran are not. It has nothing to do with age of the language and everything to do with modern-day usefilledness.

The fact that you're unable to distinguish the difference means you're being purposefully obtuse and annoying or are simply naive.
I think that customers very regularly buy flawed vehicles. Some of the most consistently popular SUVs and trucks are have had pretty low build quality for long stretches. Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler…

It’s not like the biggest selling trucks are known for build quality. It’s Ford, GM, and Dodge we are talking about here.

Hell, Tesla’s existing lineup’s build quality is a running joke, that hasn’t stopped them from selling a lot of vehicles.

The article is bringing up a legitimate issue but I just don’t think it will matter for sales. The cyberbro demographic cares about panel gaps as much as the typical Escalade buyer.

The electric truck market in this price range is basically just the F-150, and while we don’t know the Cybertruck’s price, I think it’s going to launch in a way that is very cognizant of the street price of the F-150 and well below the Rivian R1T.
I agree with this and I should have clarified -

The cost of living is rising fast enough that the majority of people making between 100K and 250K are feeling like they can't get ahead, with record low numbers of home ownership (not just single family homes either, but condos etc) among this group of traditionally "automatic" home buyers, as well as record lows of asset accumulation.

The dollar just isn't going as far as it used to, and there is no signs of that letting up any time soon, even with rising interest rates, you see no knock off effects on things like grocery prices or home prices, even though corporations are making record profits currently.
Chris King headsets are still a thing. The headset madness of the 2000's has mostly settled down, and 3rd party headsets are a pretty trivial and standards compliant upgrade. We're even mostly settled into a standard bearing size (!).

Bottom brackets are an example where we're coming back to sanity. The pressfit junk they pushed on us was for ease of manufacturing and low cost. Consumers realized they were worse, and they started to avoid those. The manufacturers have caught on and started putting threaded BBs back in, as they ought to.

We've mostly got a set of semi-reasonable standards. In the MTB world at least, 148 rear hub width is almost ubiquitous, and 15mm front axles with boost spacing are effectively it outside of downhill applications. 6 bolt rotors of various sizes are essentially standard.

The majority of the pain is where the big manufacturers (SRAM and Shimano) are battling it out: hub and chain/shifting standards. That is admittedly painful right now, but you can chalk most that up to corporate greed.

All in all, I don't get the concern here. With a little bit of consideration of compatibility in a couple areas you can mix and match brands pretty easily on most of the bike.
Rivendell, Velo Orange, Rene Hearse and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone else in that group more or less do this.

I'm nowhere near an expert but I think most small (or steel) bike brands never moved off english threaded bottom brackets so I think that's mostly a major manufacturer issue. The brakes are frame dependent but calpier and cantilever arms are fairly simple/available or flatmount if discs (ignoring that Shimano just kind of decided they didn't like post mount). Finally, if you're comfortable with (ratcheted) friction shifting then most drivetrain compatibility issues are covered.

The components themselves tend to be pricier since they're targeting a niche market but there are people serving it.
That feels like a system that works only on a low-volume platforms. If I were to follow #apple tag on Twitter, my feed would update every single second.
One part of RFC 3339 I dislike is `Z` vs `+00:00` vs `-00:00`

> Unknown Local Offset Convention

> If the time in UTC is known, but the offset to local time is unknown, this can be represented with an offset of "-00:00".

> This differs semantically from an offset of "Z" or "+00:00", which imply that UTC is the preferred reference point for the specified time.

`Z` should have been used to represent the unknown local time case, and `-00:00` shouldn't exist, while `+00:00` could be used if UTC is the preferred reference point.

In practice `Z` is already used for the "no preferred local time" case very often.
What tool did you use to crete the promo video?
If you have 800 followers, when they favorite or boost your posts, it will show up in the home feeds of users they are connected to, even if they don't follow the tag.

I think for folks just starting on Mastodon, the right way is to properly tag the content and broadcast to a community. Then from there, follow interesting people that produce good content within that community.
At some point people understand the 'approach', and it is extra condescending. Being straight/blunt is not about hurting someone's feeling.
simulating atom is hard because the interaction between protons and neutrons are described by not only EM force but also Strong force, and in particular, Strong force at this low energy (as oppose to what happens at the LHC) is hard, partly because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_freedom , basically our usual physics tricks of "perturbation approximation" doesn't work because the Strong force diverge at lower energy

It's in ISO 8601. See the "Z"? that means "Zulu" or "+0". You can specify any offset. This is standardized and immutable. What offset is correct, however, can change due to local madness, and no standard could possibly keep up.

But I do love the `date` utility, which allows alphanumeric time zone abbreviations pretty well.
What does that have to do with my comment? I didn't say say that an RDBMS is faster than a filesystem, just that your statements about them "seeing serious drops in performance when it comes to indexing, filtering, searching etc." are clearly wrong.

It seems very clear that it is you who knows some vaguely relevant bit of trivia, but actually have no clue about the subject in general, and try to make up for that in arrogance. Which is, honestly, pretty embarrassing.

I make no claims of whether one model is superior to another; only an observation that on Mastodon, one model will yield better results than the other if what you seek is engagement.

A better way to describe it.

Have you ever brought in a new engineer; and their first pull request gets a dozen or more 'Change this' 'this won't handle X'?

Watch an NCGs face as the avalanche of (mostly minor, but still 'you did X wrong') PR comments come in.

But if you're the reviewer - be sure to comment on nifty things in the code also. Call out that neat usage of struct as a switch or the context manager, or even praise base understanding of the problem flow.

Mixing praise in with the (hopefully constructive) criticism can go a loooong way toward building a healthy team environment. And - Suprise! - you'll find you actually get invited to that beer lunch instead of always being bitched about at it.
Uhh. Okay thank you.
There are almost no Googlers making 500k.
It makes perfect sense to me, as this looks more like an university-level course rather than a tutorial.

In my university there were two main course around electronics (past the electromagnetism part pf the physics course) circuit theory (all things voltages, currents, various laws like thevenin, transformations, capacitors, resistors, inductances and ideal diodes) and then there was the electronic course (all things transistor, basic signal analysis etc). My university was a proper (and major) engineering-centered university though.
VidAngel covers the requirements for copyright infringement and cites all relevant previous cases

> But is this foolproof? Is a proof a proof just because Lean agrees it’s one? In some ways, it’s as good as the people who convert the proof into inputs for Lean.

Having studied CS in school I'm sort of triggered by this. Might be the editorialization, but this is a statement I have a problem with.

I am not one of those who think that computers will save us all. My point of view is that computers are meaningless machines that do meaningless operations on meaningless symbols unless proven otherwise. This is what gets drilled in your head in any semi-decent CS program and it's a point of view I came to agree with completely.

But we have proven otherwise.

Proof checkers like Lean, Coq, Matita, Isabelle and the like are not like normal code, they are more similar to type-systems and code expressed in their formalisms is directly connected to a valid mathematical proof (see the Curry-Howard isomorphism).

They are usually constructed as a tiny, hand-proven core, and then built on their own formalism, ensuring that what is exposed to the end user is perfectly grounded.

If a program is accepted by the proof checker, then by construction it must be a valid mathematical proof.

Of course, computers are physical machines that can potentially make all sorts of mistakes. Hardware failures, cosmic rays, whatever.
But the probability of that happening on a large scale is the same probability that seven billion people collectively hallucinated elementary theory and it's in fact not true that there are infinitely many prime numbers.

edit: Just a clarification: it's only this particular statement I have a problem with. The article is very much worth your time. Do not get derailed by the title, it's not some sort of "math is racist" nonsense.
Possibly OT and possibly triggering, but I had to stop watching Dave's videos because he matches my personal definition of giant gatekeeping asshole.

I have learned a ton from him over the years, but when you watch something like his video about Flux, it's hard not to feel a little gross. This is subjective, but when you spend a lot of time making sweeping generalizations and then quite literally read the fawning comments as though an echo chamber proves your point... that's when I have to check out.

https://youtu.be/x5Yslag6Mxk?si=FjL8lHjFhWtFsWun&t=45

My bias is that I've been using Flux for about a year and while it's not without flaws... it's actually pretty great.

TL;DR: dividing people who are building things with electronics into "real" vs "embedded" is just a way to enforce a very artificial hierarchy where you're conveniently always at the top.
