That terse summary is basically misleading, so I can see why it's not helpful. It would be a much better one line summary to say

"Complex numbers were invented so that we could name (and describe) all roots to a quadratic equation"

of course that also requires further explanation, but at least it's not leading the reader down the wrong path.
> The story goes something like this, I get recommended a clip on YouTube, there’s a man who is calm, articulate, and says something that completely violates the narrative. How fascinating. Is my understanding of the world completely wrong?! I need to read everything this man written.

I think author understanding of the world is not wrong, but his approach - definitely. He expects to find some "wise man" who would have answers on all the world problems, sort of a panacea-man, which is clearly not a smart approach.

If someone was an expert for covid-related topics, why would you even watch this peron videos analysing Ukraine war? That makes zero sense.
> never

No, you definitely do eventually. I remember plenty of that stuff from back in my advanced math days (even if I can't remember any of the math itself at this point), like the aha moments showing linear algebra work underpinning the memorization from calculus. It's just way up there in the coursework because the 100- and 200-level classes don't have the time to explain that stuff to 50-plus people and make sure any of them understand any of it.
Has anyone used the github projects/issues as a replacement to tools like jira? I used gitlab issues in a previous role, and it did not work out that well. There was quite a bit of push back from my PM and we ended up using trello in the end.

Edit: I like the idea, I just wonder if its a viable solution when you have more than 1 team with engineering/product collaborating in github/gitlab on issues.
maths, and proofs aren't even given that much importance

That doesn't match my experience with college at all. I was admittedly a math major and possibly other departments do it differently, but most math courses I took put a lot of emphasis on proving stuff and proofs, and proving stuff was around 50% of the final exam in most courses.
Of course it has a subscription. I’m glad PCs were already invented.
You think it is essentially a sunk cost fallacy?

If so, what would that suggest as the best course of action? Cut their losses on real estate and embrace the new status quo?
There is certainly a distinction between teams just dealing with their task backlog and project management. I wouldn't waste a project manager on that.

Program management is a level above project management as you say, coordinating multiple projects. But there is definitely a space for complex single projects (not programs) that still require detailed planning and coordination.

It's not really about personal preference though, unless this issue is a show stopper for you in terms of where you work. I've worked in both informal and formal settings. I personally dislike heavyweight project management processes but they are sometimes required!
Humanity at risk from AI 'race to the bottom', says tech expert
Where Did All the Apples Go?
I think this whole discussion is related to epistemological attitudes. Anthropology and History tends to lean more heavily into the irreducible complexities of society and to analyze and describe them in detail while usually avoiding to deduce grand theories. Economics on the other hand is very used to a more reductionist, mechanistic view inherited from the political success of early 21st century physics in changing the outcome of wars. Economists saw a chance to be taken seriously in policy making by pretending they were doing social engineering.
In a lot of cases you cannot check the connection to reality. And things being plausible (or following some "logic") means little to nothing when it comes to being correct.

> As Python 2, Java 8 and .NET Framework have proven, that never works out that painlessly, plenty of people are still stuck on those versions to this day, with no end in sight, regardless how much the modern versions get pushed.

That's sorta my point: it worked out excellently for those languages. Those with legacy code and unable to change still use legacy and the new language gets the benefit of remaining relevant.

The point is not "keep that old shit as relevant for as long as possible", the point is "keep the language relevant", and that means jettisoning all the baggage that C++ has.

> Regarding C, it isn't also not standing still and WG14 is quite clearly turning it into "C++ without classes" kind of language, look forward to more _Generic improvements and upcoming lambdas in C29.

It's not standing still, but the pace and volume of additions is simply nowhere near to what the C++ committee does.

As far as C is concerned, while I feel that they are poor stewards of the language, anyway, the future additions do look helpful.
Xbox's new policy – say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November
If they aren't voters that is something that is a problem that needs to be fixed. Illegal migrants make up something like 3% of the US population. It isn't fair for 3% of the resident population to be denied a right to vote; it'll become a serious social issue.
"Technology exists" and "technology will be trivially deployable by any terrorist" are two different things.

ICBMs have existed for a long time, as have nuclear weapons. Terrorists cannot "trivially" deploy them.

These kind of extremely powerful magnets will not be trivial, and doing anything in space even less so.
>There is a thing that we all by convention understand

yes, and by we all you are including people who don't deal with sales bonuses, presales bonuses, or sign-on bonuses. the takeaway here is if you don't understand something, don't start talking like an expert and correcting people about it.

what do you call the most common type of sign-on bonus - stock options that you lose if you don't work there for a couple of years? is that a "benefit?"

Benefits come with the job. A one-time benefit based on some criteria is called a bonus. Yes, a chunk of cash is also a bonus. A Cash bonus. This was not a cash bonus. It was the most common type of sign-on bonus that exists - one that is only fully realized if you stay with the company for a certain time. And you're free to not take it. But you can't take it and complain it's somehow a scam.

repeat after me - loans at 0% that you may even get forgiven after 2 years, are not predatory. they are The best loan you are able to ever get - the opposite of predatory. and someone giving you the ability to take this great type of loan, for the event of signing on, is giving you a bonus. Put that 100k in a 5% HSA for 2 years, give it back, and you just got 10k in cash. Predatory loan. You people will twist and turn reality just to double-down.

If it's statically spliced, yes. but if it is dynamically spliced in, it'd be harder to do the same to block it. You'd have to detect the ad itself, and YouTube may not allow the video to be timeseeked, which might make the viewing experience suck with a black screen for the duration the ad.

The reason for deep learning is that shallow networks are very hard (or impossible) to train. In that sense, long time of training is evidence for shallow networks.
I've looked into a few of Huberman's citations and found some very small samples sizes. He makes a big deal of what are a best very small optimizations instead of focusing on the really impactful but boring health advice (eat well, exercise, get enough sleep). This is very common in the health / fitness space, because for most people the basics are all you need and the basics are really basic, but to make bank you have to keep coming up with new things.

I've only listened to a few of his podcasts, because they're too long and meandering for me, so perhaps there is more meat in other episodes.

I also don't think he's a grifter in the same way that Peterson is. (I'm not familiar with the other people mentioned in the article.)

> A billion is a tough number to understand

I love using the money analogy for this:

"If you earned $1 every single second, that's $60 per minute, $3,600 per hour, $86,400 per day. More than most people make in a year!

Assuming no tax or expenditure whatsoever, it would take only 11 days to become a millionaire at that salary.

It would take over 31 _years_ to become a billionaire.

And that's only a mere $1 billion, some people are worth _hundreds_ of billions."

In my experience, I know within a fraction of a second whether I'm actually attracted to someone. I have never become attracted to someone later if I wasn't attracted in the first place.

But there's no way I could tell you what the criteria are for being attracted to someone. There are beautiful women I'm not attracted to and there are less photogenic women I'm very attracted to. There are so many factors at play: the way they carry themselves, their voice, their smell, that je ne sais quoi...

Swiping makes you think you are doing efficient filtration except it's showing you only an approximation of someone through a keyhole. I've met up with matches and found they don't look the same in 3D, we don't vibe and sometimes they just don't smell right (smell is an extremely important sense for attraction).

After wasting time with definite negatives that you thought were positives you wonder how many positives you rejected just because they didn't meet some criterion that barely matters.

All the real negatives swiping works for (like obesity, tattoos, peircings etc for me) would be easily filtered out in real life without even thinking about it.
Colleges have 4 years, and most important discoveries took a brilliant person a lifetime of work.

How do you propose we give more detailed explanations and information for proving everything for yourself? Should college last a few hundred years instead of 4?

Did college not teach you how to access and parse through research papers and books?
If you want a more full explanation and to prove things for yourself, why didn't you do so? When you were told, from authority, about the american antarctic base, why didn't you prove its existence by taking a boat there (repeated ad-nauseam for each location in the world)
China rushes to swap Western tech with domestic options as U.S. cracks down
Statista has a pretty nice writeup available here. [1] Granted some of the data is going to be contradictory, because they are an aggregator and not a source. So for instance in one section they claim the overall rate of ad blocking in the US is 26.4%, yet in another section their data suggests 30% of mobile users are blocking ads, while 51% of desktop users are. Pretty hard to see how that adds up to 26.4% overall.

Regardless of the noise in the data, it at least seems clear that whatever the number is - it's way above 10%, and growing. This is probably why YouTube is willing to go to war with their users over it, one of the very few things Google has ever done that could directly imperil one of their monopolies. Potentially driving off a substantial number of your users at the time when there are more viable alternatives than ever is a quite a bold move. Let's see how it plays out.

Geekworm's KVM kits are what I got.
i have never found myself to be in agreement with any ads. That is just how it works. I don't like alcohol ads. I don't like ads that start off with one topic, get viewer's interest, and then switch topics (geico, progressive). I don't like ads that advertise holiday travel with barely clothed women (what's driving the sales?). I don't like clickbait ads.

If we were to work off of morals, commerce and morals don't go hand in hand.

So going back to topic, is it moral to block the ad and stop the revenue to a content creator? The content creator should not be getting revenue from alcohol companies or companies that profit off of intoxication. But everything else? No restrictions.

So I do this, a lot. Rogan is a good example I struggle with. I regularly go I wonder what Joe Rogan thinks about this, on subjects I know he doesn’t know shit about or is just plain wrong about. It isn’t relegated to just Rogan.

Musk was another awful one when you first get into him.

This has to be a form of non-sexual attraction I think. I’m not gay, but how is this not gay? Like, what the fuck, am I in love with these people?

I almost have to shake my head and snap out of it.

I’ll add that I’ve gotten extremely good at filtering his guests but still weak to filtering him (it’s kinda like still having feelings for your first). Anytime he puts on a comedian I always go “yeah whatever, who cares what some random comedian thinks about ______”, but I wasn’t able to do that with Rogan. No sir, I listen with both ears as he describes like … nuclear fusion.

> I worry that any serious attempt to get rid of Hamas will create so much collateral damage and/or will cause many people that are currently 'fence sitters' to switch to the Hamas side because of optics will cause the conflict to worsen rather than to move towards a solution.

I worry about that too. At least in terms of the world opinion. In terms of Gazans, I don't think it matters much - Hamas is effectively a dictatorship that's ruling Gaza.

I have no idea if we can actually take out Hamas. I don't know if we can do it in terms of an "acceptable" amount of collateral damage, or an "acceptable" amount of Israeli soldiers killed. Acceptable at least to the Israeli public. A few months into this, if we have dozens/hundreds of dead soldiers (and dead Palestinians, which some people do care about), will the public continue supporting something open-ended? I don't know.

Still, I honestly don't see an alternative. We've had, what, 10 ceasefires in the 20 years they've been in power and they've used them to restock and re-attack. I don't see much of a choice for Israel to actually stay safe that doesn't involve destroying Hamas.

> You don't play 'divide and conquer' with what is effectively a terrorist organization just because you think that you've got them bottled up and they serve your goals of destabilizing any attempt at normalization and/or paths that would force you to compromise.

That's true, though not sure what alternative Bibi had. There's lots of criticism from within Israel about Bibi effectively helping prop up Hamas, but like, the alternative that most people suggest is that Israel should've gone harder after them in the past, not accepted ceasefires, not compromised on allowing in aid and resources, etc. Not sure what was the other alternative.

> The cynical side of me wonders if the hardliners and the right wingers aren't still quietly (privately) cheering on Hamas just so they can strike back that much harder and impose more restrictions on Gaza and possibly the West bank because that is what they really have set their sights on and the occupants of those areas are seen as best removed in some way or other.

Some right-wingers are already using this situation to do what they want. E.g. lots of settlers are doing horrific things, like threatening close-by Arab villages, under I guess the assumption that no one will stop them right now. I hope they're wrong. I fear they're not, and the government will just ignore it (if not actively encourage it, at least parts of the government).

Yes, a company sign-on bonus being dependent on staying with the company for a set time, is not only a reasonable arrangement - it is the most common type of sign-on bonus. Any 2-year interest-free loan is a great loan, and you can turn that into about 10-20k just by putting it into a treasury bond or an HSA. Have you ever, in your life, received a sign-on bonus?

They call it a loan, because it is a loan. Just like PPP was called a loan, and forgiven on a predefined condition.

I hear myself fine. I hear myself observing some people who I believe have not had a professional job in sales or presales, never had a sign-on bonus, never received stock options, and are calling a great thing bad, and being outraged on behalf of some rich asshole playing victim. I hear myself laughing at some people who have no clue about the subject matter, but like to create fake anger and outrage online, so they could feel superior by painting "evil" all around them to avoid dealing with the actual reason for their own failings - themselves.

Does that answer your question?

> I don’t understand how a big game like this could have you just walking around doing nearly nothing for several hours straight

Alan Wake 1 had a lengthy walking around/watching cutscenes first part, so this sounds good to me: I like walking simulators (e.g Gone Home, Firewatch). Not every game has to be about blowing things up to smithereens or solving over-rehashed puzzles.

The most recent example for me was Scorn: for me it was fantastic until I got to the area where you get a thinly veiled shotgun thing with mandatory combat + solve those rotating puzzles over and over whose essential logic has been seen a thousand times (in stark with the first big room environmental puzzle whose logic wasn't that complex but was immersive), at which point I dropped the game as it was just killing the mood for me.

because rather than doing serious intellectual work they're really good at selling what people want to hear, deliberately targeting an American online audience and their anxieties (as that is very profitable). All the mentioned guys are essentially permanent guests on the US podcast circuit.

Peterson and Zeihan are examples of this. Peterson has essentially monetized telling Americans what a dystopia Canada is, acting like some sort of reverse Handmaids Tale refugee, and Zeihan is the modern version of his mentor (and Straftor boss) George Friedman, whose primarily claim to fame is predicting an inevitable war between Japan and the US[1], on a crude theory of geographic determinism, "in the next two decades" in 1991. Zeihan has picked that baton up and replaced Japan with China.

Just listened to half of an interview (the interview is long, and it's now bedtime) of John Gray.

I think you'd class him as a fox, but perhaps he's more of a badger. Digs deep and wide into history to interpret the present and plot the future. Asks "what's similar and what's different, what's permanent and what's ephemeral?" Not afraid of being unpopular at the time. Some certainty is required when everyone is saying you're wrong, and is justified when ten years later they're saying that what you said ten years ago is obvious.

That said, while he's solid on geopolitics snd the larger systems we are subject to, I wouldn't listen to him about what's happening with dating or something like that.
Some people might be wondering "huh, why number them in this weird way?!"
