For all of the tests and rebuttals of the Dunning-Kruger effect the people tested are not drawing from the totality of other people, but trying to compare themselves solely to those who also took the same test.

Anyone in a position to take such a test is almost guaranteed to be above average compared to the general population (which includes babies for intellectual tests, or the extremely old for attractiveness tests).

I think this complicates personal evaluation.

I think what this article is missing is “the chart DK should have used.”

Instead we get a spurious explanation that doesn’t make a lot of sense based on completely fabricated data. It’s entirely natural for something that looks like DK to emerge from randomized data, especially when the Y axis is represented by some number of the mean (actually 50ish in this case).

> another federal court recently found that exchange-traded Ripple XRP tokens are not securities

You mean this case?[1]

No, that's not what the court decided. The setup with Ripple was that institutional investors bought tokens directly from Ripple, and then resold them on an open market. The court ruled that resale of the tokens on the open market did not violate the Howey test because Ripple was not a party to that transaction. But the initial sale to institutional investors is still being litigated. Whether the resale by the institutional investors is a regulated event hasn't been litigated yet.

So this is a token-laundering scheme that may have worked. Or not; the remaining parts of the case go to trial on April 23, 2024.

That's the essential genius of constitutional monarchy - by investing the royal family with immense status but no actual power, we reduce the status of those who wield real power to mere public servants. The Prime Minister must ask the monarch's permission to form a government, in the knowledge that the monarch has no actual power to refuse. Those who hold public office swear an oath of loyalty to the monarch, in the knowledge that the monarch's power is wholly and irrevocably delegated to parliament and the judiciary.

The monarch is in essence an empty vessel, symbolising whatever version of Britishness we happen to believe in. Regardless of the government of the day or the divisions that may arise in society, the crown endures. The man or woman responsible for running the country does so as a temporary custodian.

Britain is dysfunctional in all sorts of ways, but the parts that function best are extremely Lindy. The monarchy, like our unelected upper house, is completely idiotic in theory but incredibly successful in practice.
But it rather isn't. The temperature keeps going up as you add more fire. And then it stops going up even if you add more fire. That point is the temperature of interest and was from the very start. It isn't hard to find. It isn't hard to understand. It's just a bad example for this essay
Completely. The concept of "tour" allows me to queue everything I want to read (I also have a "to_read" list, which replaced Pocket for the longest read I would do later).

What is incredible is when I got to the end of my tour before finishing my cup of tea. I feel like I finished what I had to read for today. I then go to empty the "to_read" list (which is never empty but stay between 10 and 30 items all the time).

I also create lists for stuff I want to bookmark and surprise myself by triaging them: rereading and deciding if I want to keep that article or not in a list. If yes, adding some comments in the list (lists are simple gemtext files that could be edited with "list edit my_list")

INAL (so take this with the pinch of salt that it comes from someone just thinking out loud), but I think it would depend on a number of factors such as how novel the code was, and how integral the code is (just to name two factors)

If the code was something as simple as let’s say leftpad for a simple example, it could be argued that it’s not the “meat” of the application so those few lines can not by themselves be copyrighted but the whole work (or even larger portions of it) can be.

If it was some special sauce algorithm, it could be argued under their work contract that the employee assigned copyright of the code of the personal project to the first employer they did the work for.

It also depends on the status of the employee, the contract of the employee, and the jurisdiction of both employee/employee.

A “full fledged” employee work is often deemed as the companies property if done under the course of their employment. A contractor in the US is about the same, however in the UK a contractor by default can retain the copyright of the “work product” unless stipulated otherwise in the work contract (so most contracts will state that you as a contractor are assigning copyright for the work you do to the company).

So in that last case it could be argued that the coder still owns the copyright but licenses the use to both parties. It would then be a case of the two companies maybe suing the coder for selling code they may have represented as given them an exclusive license to it, but obv didn’t because it was licensed to multiple companies.
Or worse, they may just remember how they coded it last time and code it the same, or only remember subconsciously and code it the same without knowing.

Someday there will be technology to erase all memory of work you did in service of your corporate overlords and you’ll be able to start with a true clean slate at every job.

I do wonder how much the url bar junk thing matters these days. I tend to use uulids (waiting on uuid v7 wide adoption), and they're a bit ugly, but most browsers hide most of the urls now anyway. The fact that there is a builtin time component comes in clutch sometimes (e.g. object merging rules).

As a former pilot, I will agree that hours matter. Our ability to get pilots 200 training hours per year has actually been an advantage, to my understanding, compared to our competitors who can't afford even that much.

The simulators for the helicopters that I flew really sucked (you just can't capture the feel of hovering, landing in dust or on slopes, terrain flight, etc.) so simulator hours were a poor substitute for flight hours. But I suspect that simulator hours are more valuable for fixed-wing pilots. New single-seat fighter pilots can go straight from simulators to soloing a real aircraft. I also imagine that most of what they need to practice is just button-pressing procedures for sensors and weapons. Doing most of that in a simulator can really extend the lifetime of the fleet.

I agree we need to allocate at least 1/4 maybe up to 1/3 of all grant money to reproduction of research. While that seems wasteful it’s actually a huge savings and prevents people from wasting energy on false research
For most contractual agreements you assign copy-write of your work to your employer. So if you used your personal project in work for your employer the copy-write becomes theirs.

My guess is that in your hypothetical scenario the first company would own the IP and could sue the worker or other company for infringement.
How do elite groups form?
While South Korea is a deeply paternalist and sexist society and there are many disadvantages women face in Korean society, men in Korea do have compelling reasons to oppose Korean feminist movements. In particular, the government has instituted gender quotas in some industries:

> The flustered “angry young men” believe that government policies aimed at ensuring gender parity are in fact giving women an unfair advantage.

Enforcing gender parity when the workforce is majority male is indeed giving one gender an advantage. They don't "believe" these practices are unfair any more than they "believe" the sky is blue. If you want to eliminate discrimination, anonymize applications and take steps to eliminate the ability to determine the gender of applicants. Forcing outcomes is indeed putting your finger on the scale.

While there's definitely a lot of sexism and paternalism in South Korea, it was very unfortunate that explicit gender discrimination was path that feminist movements decided to take. It's very bad for feminism to create situations when anti-discrimination is a form of "anti-feminism". This severely curtails good will and willingness to work on issues like the one described in the linked article.

What to do when you run out of math for your kid
I'm surprised I'm not seeing mention of the reduced round ChaCha8 version of ChaCha, that's what I'd recommend for Monte Carlo use. It's available in Rust at https://docs.rs/rand_chacha/0.3.1/rand_chacha/struct.ChaCha8... . I recommend seeding it from a high quality random source, but it could be fixed in your source code, generated with `openssl rand -base64 32` or similar.
I agree that syntax highlighting is not critical, but TFA mentions 2 cases where syntax highlighting might help: in the middle of long comment blocks (you don't want to be reading commented-out code and thinking it's active), and the difference between "=" and "==".

I would add a third, which I run into more frequently than either of those two:

Syntax highlighting helps in finding unterminated strings or regexes (why yes, I do write a lot of Perl). If you forget to terminate a string or a regex, a load of the rest of the file turns into string or regex colour, so it's easy to find where you made the mistake.

This cuts both ways. A lot more things need to be online in combat: avionics, sensors, weapons, survivability equipment, etc. At home, it didn't matter if the IFF transponder or satellite radio wasn't working.

I don't think it's 10 times better. It is better. But I think it comes down to the size of the model and the training/training techniques. OpenAI seems to have invested a lot in human reinforcement feedback. Plus they have ways to do automated reinforcement I think. Also Google and Anthropic are basically deliberately holding back their strongest models because they are too expensive and/or they are worried about safety or something.

And note that there are new versions of models from Anthropic that have just released or could release within a few months.

Highly unlikely. This was no FOSS web library he was working on, but some relatively cutting edge embedded automotive stuff, which few people do in their free time as a side project to put on github.

And anyway, according to most industry contracts and work laws, whatever code you check in your employer's systems during work hours and using work equipment, automatically now becomes your employer's code which you now can't share anymore.

We need more catch-up mechanics and fewer win-more mechanics. But the rules-making strongly favors wealthy, old incumbents, and disfavors poor, young newcomers such that the rules themselves are immune to such a reversal. I fear that nothing will stop this feedback loop from the inside. The incentives are too strong, too obvious, to everyone involved to change their view, to give up advantage, especially for something as nebulous as "the survival of society". To be sure, along with humility and wisdom, self-restraint, honor and magnanimity is now described only in derisive terms, the vices of a loser rather than the virtues of the great, at every level of society. Such a society is immune to ideas such as these.
