> Your argument ends up being that successful things are bad, because humans are just idiots and thus if something is successful it is because it is just liked by idiots.

I mean I'm not sure that this is that far from the truth in some domains, though it depends on how you define idiocy. There is, for example, a market for demolition derbies. Of course all of us are idiots in some ways so we should be careful about whom we disparage.
This is government using existing power.
If you're dealing with low speed (ie: 50MHz bandwidth aka 20ns rise/fall times or slower) circuits, then you don't need an autorouter. Just connect every pin of your circuit together and you're done. You might need a via to cross into and route inside of your ground plane, but at low-frequencies that's not a big deal because it'd be literally too small to be an antenna and radiate off. Its just an effect that you can almost entirely ignore.

If ~20MHz is the highest speed signal on your entire design (ie: ~20ns rise time, which STM32G0 or PIC or AVR beginner-friendly chips are around), then your wavelength is 15-meters, meaning the quarter-wave antenna would be (at a minimum) 3.75 meters (12 feet long), which is just far larger than any PCB-circuit a beginner will ever come across. (And will only in practice, be an issue on cables running off-board).
Including less-than-ideal data in a broader analysis is completely fine as long as you're aware of the data quality issues and adjust your weights accordingly. IMO Alexander does a pretty good job of this - I recall many occasions where his writing references a study while also caveating that reference because of a limited sample size or a slightly implausible effect size or some other qualm.

There's a world of difference between trying to make sense of a topic when none of the available data is all that great, and outright fabricating data to make a name for yourself.
If everybody agrees then it's probably wrong.

If a well-dressed person states it loudly and confidently over the tv/internet/etc, it's probably a lie.
Sure, “trust nobody” is a literal impossibility even if you’re way off the grid like Ted K. But I don’t see many people pushing that sort of extreme ideal as a response to the replication crisis or the fraud coming out of highest levels of soft sciences.

You just end up having to treat sci-news the same way most of us likely already treat regular news media: with heavy suspicion by default for any unfamiliar topic. Reverse Gell-Mann Amnesia, I suppose.

It’s not particularly good for one’s mental well-being, but it’s a rare person who can go back to being blissfully ignorant of something this widespread.

Mini-rant: I just now realized that the Andrew Tates of the world have made it nigh impossible to casually drop a pop-culture reference to the Matrix in these sorts of convos.
One day I will master the arcane workings of CSS. Will it be worth it?
LOL.

I remember looking into research on Network Centric Warfare when I was doing my MS thesis around 2000. I had a ton of ideas for cheap counters to traditional weapons systems, but the funders only wanted multi-billion-dollar solutions. They said our next wars would be asymmetric, and that they wanted expensive solutions so our enemies could not copy them.

I said we would eventually fight a symmetric war against an enemy that could out produce our industry and who designed cheaper systems.

I also said (prophetically) that the next symmetric war would be won by whoever designed and modified the best autonomous systems on the front lines and who produced the most of them. This seems to be partly happening in Ukraine.
Even if nobody believes the images are real, it's going to be traumatic for a 13 year old girl to discover her peers are passing around fake nudes of her. This shit needs to be illegal.

We have libel laws, even though everyone knows the written word can be lies.
Anyone else who makes any kind of product available for public use is held to some standards of responsibility and liability for any harm that it causes. Why should software be any different?
To me it looks very analogous to AI-generated "art", it's very easy to generate some generally esthetically pleasing visuals, but the depth of the art stays in proportion with the input effort... Which is often not much.
All of this shouldn't be very surprising really, and there's still a lot of usefulness to it, if only for depreciating the low-quality copy-paste productions and making the really unique and novel ones even more valuable.
Bingo.

Also, self-reported happiness surveys are BS.

I’ve been to Scandinavia. They are definitely NOT among the happiest people in the world. They simply think they should say they are happy.
Not to nitpick but isn't event driven and serverless pretty orthogonal?

That is - if you have enough events to bother to be event driven, then you also have enough steady state utilization that serverless isn't going to save you any money over having some dedicated compute?

Might be a quack, but I would not put it past the idea that fungi can act in different ways within our bodies, especially if our immune system is weak where it might be more opportunistic rather than non harmful for healthy immune systems.

Paul Offit also has a great book on the other topic of what to look out for when it comes to quackery called "Do You Believe in Magic?" where he talks about Jenny McCarthy and various doctors who tried to support that movement.
Reading this gives me another reason to not touch CSS. Sigh.
Parallel processing isn't "interesting" except as a way to do things more quickly.

But for 90% or more of the things people do in DAWs (and currently want to do in DAWs), current processors can already do it fast enough.

So the sort of innovation your dreaming of/imagining isn't going to come from new algorithms - it's going to come from people wanting to do new things.

This is already happening to some extent with things like timbral transfer, but even there, the most important part of it is well within current processing capabilities.

> Come on, we need some new algorithms

If you don't have a "why", that doesn't make much sense. Start with "Come on, we need to be able to do <this>" and then (maybe) the algorithms will follow.

Necessity is the mother of invention, but so is desire. What do you desire?

Not sure why the burden is put on the shoulders of the authors of open source software. Would make more sense to say “Companies that use open source software to sell their own software must comply with the following security practices…”
I'd say that it's not science until it is replicated, but you are right, this is not always what people mean by "science".
You’re right, two things can be bad at the same time.

There are ample studies that show that porn use does increase rape. The results are mixed. Declaring that "current evidence" says otherwise is false.

Seeing children today makes me feel a deep sense of despair. Watching them pushed as hard as possible into schoolwork and extracurriculars from elementary age so that they might have some shot at a decent life; it feels like watching them being fed into a meat grinder (one that I myself went through and would not wish on anyone). And I didn't have to grow up watching the trees die as my local climate changes from a humid sub-tropic coastal plain into a desert; I couldn't imagine being a child looking ahead at decades of climate change - hell, I'm not that old and so it terrifies me as well.

I agree that a world without children sounds sad, but with the way things are going, a world with them seems sadder to me.
That’s correct. I have the smallest offering from the manufacturer you linked and it’s super portable (30lbs) but the ride is bumpy even on relatively smooth road.

You do get used to it but never feels quite as safe as a bike.
I used to work at Two Sigma Investments, and back in 2012-2014 or so, after the publication of his "irrationality" books (before the ones about dishonesty), Dan Ariely gave a well-attended talk at the company headquarters (I wonder what his speaking fee was!).

I remember thinking even then that there was something off about his arguments, and I'm not surprised that he has since been exposed as a likely fraud. For example, throughout his talk, he kept making the point that when someone made a self-serving claim or argument, he would "hold on to his wallet," making an analogy to pickpockets. He then concluded his talk with a transparently self-serving argument that the importance of studying irrationality was growing over time because (as just one example, I suppose), the share of deaths attributed to preventable causes (self-inflicted, etc.) was increasing over the decades, making it sound like society is becoming more irrational. This seemed very weak to me, because that's exactly what you would expect if civilization is making progress over time... if science and technology keep eliminating the exogenous causes of death, over time we should be left with just the endogenous ones. Anyway, I thought of raising my hand to ask if I should reach for my own wallet, but was too young and nervous.
Good point and a real concern. I considered an analogy to the physical world and used that: if you are a local business and want people to know about your product, you can rent a billboard in the town square, or buy a spot on a local TV channel.

The idea is that as long as it is coarse-grained geography it was less damaging.

But would that make it dangerous for political and ideological mass "influencing"? Maybe you're right. If we ever get a chance to have laws and regulate it, maybe allowing certain categories only.
> Bad open source software has never hurt me, best I can tell.

You may not think so but here is a likely scenario: Some startup uses an open source library in their app. You install the app. It gathers some information about you. Due to weaknesses in the library, a data breach occurs. Your information is part of that.
You're confusing cause and effect.

We certainly don't know what drives sexual attraction in our brains. But we do know that it is darned hard to change. People can't choose to be straight vs gay. Gay people remain gay people even when they hate themselves for it, and even in places where they face the death penalty for it. (True, bisexual people do wind up choosing to only act on heterosexual interest in such places. But again the wiring does not get affected by society's approval.)

There have been decades of research into pornography and sexual violence. As https://www.utsa.edu/today/2020/08/story/pornography-sex-cri... says, the overall conclusion is that pornography does not increase sexual violence.

So to this topic. I no more believe that people have a choice about being pedophiles than I believe that people have a choice about being gay. The significant difference is that gay people can be consensually gay with other gay people. Pedophiles cannot consensually abuse children.

Disclaimer. This is a personal topic. I was homosexually abused as a child. I deeply understand the importance of the topic. Which is why I care that people think clearly about it.

Because I value clarity of thought, I consider arguments about encouraging moral decay, or encouraging pedophilia to be complete and utter bullshit. Arguments should be rooted in reality. Those arguments just use revulsion to shy away from the painful truth.

Here is the painful truth. Some fraction of (overwhelmingly) men have a strong sexual interest in children that they struggle with acting on. Nobody really knows what makes someone have that interest. It almost certainly is an orientation that is fixed before puberty. We know of no way to change it. Therefore we have the same four rational choices that we do with every other such "unnatural sexual desire".

1. Kill those men.
2. Lock those men away permanently.
3. Accept that they are among us, protect ourselves in some ways, and only punish those who prove unable to resist their impulses.
4. Make what those men want as normal.

While many of us would be OK with the first two options, as a society we've chosen the third. With gays, opinion has swung over my lifetime towards taking the fourth option with gays. (I'm for it, but this is definitely a change.)

Given that we're choosing the third option as a society, this jailing makes no sense to me. The guy found a harmless outlet for his perverse desires. Yay him? Don't let him work in childcare, but let's save jail for, I don't know, someone who actually ACTS on his desires?
I have a 2017 Evelo Quest One that’s wrapping up it’s 6th year now. It’s been almost entirely hassle free besides general maintenance and a battery replacement after ~4 years. It looks like the company replaced it with the Evelo Dash.

There’s lots of good folding electric options right now, but if your budget allows for it, I’d *highly* recommend looking for folders with Gates drives. You will be able to roll and hold the bike folded between your legs without worrying about wiping grease all over your pants(or some unfortunate soul who bumps into it). It’s also one of the few things that lives up to its hype — it’s been entirely maintenance-free over the last ~6years I’ve been riding
It's common enough that it used to be a meme (often pushed by Jim Sterling and other online influencers) that Unity was only useful for incompetent developers to make garbage cash-in games and asset flips. That was when it was much easier to publish to Steam, though.

We recently found that the new artillery.io service is going to be something like $600 or $1200 a month.

>If you'd spend any time at all looking at midjourney creations, there's no way you can conclude that there's any significant amount of "ripping off" people's work. Certainly not in all or most cases.

They were trained on work of people who didn't consent to it, the authors were not compensated, and currently are losing money (demand for their work) because of it. How is that not ripping off.

Please don't compare software to people. They're not similar legally, morally or in any other meaningful way.
They can't change the meaning of an existing property since the web doesn't break backwards compatibility.

And AFAIU form-sizing: normal does reuse existing properties by making width/height have the normal meaning.

>The planet will survive just fine.

Such a tired and nihilistic take. to call it survival is a stretch when we are artificially creating and contributing to the sixth mass extinction while we leave the planet full of plastic and cement, and devoid of the old growth forests that used to live here and help life flourish.

The actual statistics say that the real lifesaver is keeping the deadly vehicles away from cyclists and pedestrians:

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2016/06/02/why-helmets-arent-the...

I mean, go ahead, wear one, they aren't going to hurt for sure, and probably make a lot of sense at an individual level, but at a macro, systemic level, helmet wearing is not really the answer.
It's plausible, even probable, given the arguments layed out in Nick Bolstrom essay "Are you living in a computer simulation?".

I used to think the question that should preclude this one is if the universe is even able to host a simulation of itself, but given that we know it is probable we live in a perceived reality that not only is separated from what we think as objective reality, that this perceived reality is, for the sake of survival, a much simplified version of the objective reality, then it isn't impossible that a base objective reality might harbor countless simulations not unlike the one we possibly live in.

This is however an interesting experiment in a way to guide moral decisions when we encounter technological leaps, like if we ever develop the capability of producing an ASI. I don't think, however, that these considerations are falsifiable, because we can't just "break out" of our possible simulation to see what is what. What might that even mean? Would we be able to tell if we broke out of our simulation? It breeds all sorts of speculations that at the end of the day adds very little to the overall discussion.

What I personally think is that there is something to be perceived and explored ousite of the realm of human concern, in the silence of the absence of the endless chatter of the cognitive consciousness, that is hard to experience and hard to describe, even though it is accessible to everyone, maybe in the form of a question, like "what is really keeping you from experiencing the dharma body of the Buddha?".

I know this is all really esoteric and mystic, but I am really trying very hard to maintain a certain level of philosophical scrutiny here, if only whoever reads this might give me the benefit of the doubt. All in all this is my take on the subject and I hope I don't disappoint you too deeply.

The faraday cage in a microwave is good for its purpose, but not good enough at blocking cell phone bands. They would need something slightly more expensive, anywhere from $1000 to $50k depending on how fancy they wanted to be. Of course Google should have no problem affording any of that, but these details do matter.

I suspect that the problem must be more complex than a bug in just the phone or the OS; for one thing, the problem is intermittent and doesn’t affect every phone. Still, the lack of action from the FCC is disturbing.
No. There are ample studies that show that men who rape, are interested in porn. That doesn't indicate whether porn substitutes for the desire to rape, or leads to the desire.

Studies that look at availability of porn vs rape do indicate that porn is a substitute for rape among those inclined, and not a cause of further desire. There are still flaws because of the existence of confounding factors. But it is the best that we have.

Why such a misleading title? It’s the TON foundation partnering, which isn’t related to Telegram. TON used to be a Telegram product but they dumped it, likely due to SEC not letting them launch it in the US.
Well, I think that soon most software will be written by machine, in something like Idris or Lean, and merely guided by humans via a linguistic interface.

Very interesting.

I have always felt that short mnemonics are a poor engineering choice for today's computer memory sizes.

Like, the first thing you have to do here is to learn and recall what the instructions do. If you replace the names with more spelled out versions, it makes it much easier to pick them up and then remember them and read code.

The fact that people often don't do that makes me suspicious.

I also think that the fact that these types of exploits are possible points to overall system design failures.

I'm not saying that it's not a fun game or a good way to learn. But I feel that there is too much general acceptance of structural problems in engineering. To the degree that most people don't even see those structural flaws.
