> Does the software include estimated rarity, such that if you practice drafting a few times, you're as unlikely to get the rares as in the real card version?

Yes, of course. Rarity is important to drafting strategy.

You ain't gonna beat a top level player who has practiced drafting a set dozens of times before the release, lol.

But grow to the skill level you're comfortable with. A bit of practice goes a long way.

Just seconding this as it was one of the most compelling biographical books I’ve ever read. I binged it during a holiday shopping trip to the mall 20-ish years ago. Couldn’t put it down, just followed along with the group as they went from store to store with my face in a book.

We sure don’t live life like that anymore.
Isn’t that a definition of success in our current society ?
> you also get rewarded with respect, money, and fulfillment

Nope. You get rewarded with exactly how much you're able to get away with demanding via negotiation. The CEO won't suddenly swoop down and say wow what a hard working guy let's double his salary. You get rewarded if you're the only person who's able to do something but you're going to quit because a better company offered you more money. That puts them in the position of either rewarding you or watching you leave.
I think the headline is correct, but the content isn't. Becoming the go-to person for the people with more authority than you is great. Becoming the go-to person for some people at or below your seniority level won't. Being the "python expert" who all the juniors ask python questions of won't help you, but if you can be in a situation where you frequently (probably informally at first) discuss higher level things with people above you and they value your input, I think that's a good thing. Get them used to the idea that they can go to you for input on important higher level things.
Been a happy Fastmail customer for a number of years now. Several reasons for that, but mainly the service (aside from a couple of hiccups a while back) has been very reliable. And, as the commenter above pointed out, the masked email feature is great. Also like the calendar.

Don't use the file storage or notes features very often, though. But they're quick and easy to use when I need them.

Thing is, it's not possible to stop it. Technology has advanced far enough, all the pieces are in place, so it's inevitable that someone will make this. What we should ask is rather how we can cope with its existence.
That is not base64, it's base62. You can tell because it only has 62 symbols. To get base64 you have to add 2 symbols that you arbitrarily select from the master "table of symbols to add to base62 to get to base64 depending on what the platform is and what characters are restricted in it" [1]. For instance you might use `@`, except in an email. Or `/`, but not in an fs path or URL.

As for base92, those symbols might all be easy to enter on your keyboard, but on international layouts the process can be quite involved indeed.

I prefer base36 for this reason. Want a compact random string? Math.random().toString(36). Watch out to prefix it with a char for settings that disallow leading digits through! (variable identifiers, css class names, etc.)

Maybe "reason" means thinking and feeling at the same time. Because if you think hard enough, you start thinking about what is important in bigger and bigger ways, and that eventually leads you to fundamental human values, which involve feelings.
100% agree. "promoted" to management happens under two conditions:

- ladder climbers: people who drift from shop to shop or team to team in search of the next promotion. Theyre on your team just long enough to get real visible with the boss and then theyre gone. they make terrible leadership decisions because the only thing they have to offer is charisma and feel-good meetings.

- walking wrecking-balls: people who complete about 30-45% of a project and cant communicate what theyre doing or the outcomes from their actions. they are unaccountable even to their peers, they walk away from hard tasks or challenges and if something fails they make up excuses before anyone can walk back the root cause to something they did. these get promoted to get them out of the teams way or they spread like a cancer to some other team thats never heard their name before. these people care about having an office, but nod through meetings like a supreme court justice. their direct reports will never encounter them. this is a quarantine promotion.
Precisely. Becoming the "go-to" person, at best, means that you're going to be too valuable to promote and you'll be exploited to the nth degree.
Why would you build wind turbines that last fifty years while the technology improves rapidly? The turbines from ten years ago are no longer cost competitive with current models.
They have to convince senators to invest into their company lol. There is no way they are going to do that with a plasma physics textbook and a white paper on plasma compression ignition. I don't blame them for building hype, and glossing over the technical risks. It's just if you want an informed opinion you have to look past the marketing material.

As devils advocate I will make the counterpoint, the idea of generating steam using heat through the walls of a tokamak is perhaps equally unproven. You need to have intense temperatures right next to supercooled magnets. That seems like a potential dealbreaker too, and everyone glosses over it in the same way.
I noticed this happening in my current role and I am managing what I agree to more to make sure it’s something that clearly aligns with things that will get me promoted.

Quoridor is nice but I would not even put it in the top 10 modern abstracts, let alone on par with chess.

Legality aside, it is a bit of a dick move to reimplement a modern abstract that people can play for free, or even make themselves for a low cost, just because you don't like the (free) site it's on.
If there is no tangible evidence of this you can legitimately point to and hand the police, then there is no thing indicating it exists outside of your own head (delusion). How do you know guards are bribed, your devices are hacked? Robocalls and rando messages on Skype are a dime a dozen, but if they’re incriminating threats, take it to police. Do not rely on your own instinct or intuition to make deductions about reality, rely on tangible evidence that 3rd parties can appreciate ; This era of cameras and recorders leaves no excuse. There is no organization so professional they can make demands, negotiations, or attempts at your life via telepathy.

Your close friends and relatives can gauge your personality more accurately than you can. If your family thinks you’re psychotic, I’d trust that more than some random walk in psych.
That article (at least how I read it via Google Translate) seems to focus on the process and the testimony of one of the witnesses being flawed, but fails to address the fact that there was more than one witness to many examples of this bad behavior (and doesn't even refute that the bad behavior happened at all). So maybe the initial investigation wasn't perfect, but I'm still inclined to believe accounts of unacceptable assholery that were corroborated by multiple witnesses.
Runbox. My needs around email are pretty simple, and Runbox check all of my boxes.
Although I know you said this in jest, it got me thinking that it would be really fun to have a system where you have to submit answers to a short quiz about the book before you can submit your review. No reviews would be removed, but you would, if you wanted, be able to filter the global average by people who scored over a certain threshold on the quiz.

Probably you could even generate new questions every time with GPT, so that people couldn't cheat. This system would have a million problems, sure, but would it have more problems than the current system?

No. Experimental fusion reactors are not subject to the kind of scrutiny that even a coal plant would be subjected to. (Essentially very little oversight unless you start emitting a lot of ionizing radiation outside of your containment structure) When they outgrow the lab, that will start to change a bit, but we are far from net positive even in a lab environment.
a computer simply automates something you can do with your bare hands: calculate. Manipulating the strong nuclear force is not even comparable.

My opinion about fusion is that by the time they figure it out (which I think could eventually be done, if we invest a large portion of humanity's knowledge and wealth), it won't even be worth it. We could have almost-free energy now with fission, and renewables keep getting better. Fusing atoms (and getting more energy back) will be an astonishing feat when we accomplish it, but not offer much benefit over existing power generation. For instance, financially it would take a lifetime to ever recover the costs invested. Even once it's figured out, it will still take decades to build the plants, which will be buggy-first-generation models (that still contain dangerous radiation, just more manageable). I really wanted it to succeed (20 years ago, say), but now I think it's a lost cause.
Suspect they mistyped `Base62` (since they seem to be favouring non powers of two)
At a small minority of jobs, more work will result in respect, money, and fulfillment.

At most jobs, doing more work without a promotion already on the line just means you'll be expected to do more work going forward and your future evaluations will be based on your higher workload rather than your original baseline, which will make reaching that promotion even harder. Ask me how I know that...
Right, generally the people who benefit from the expert enjoy mobility.

I think being known for learning quickly and making good decisions under pressure is what gets you promoted. At senior levels not being an asshole is also a prerequisite.
As a heads up, Goodreads was also subject to fake books by authors back in August of 2023, though these were removed.

Completely agree. It's a huge trap, and an easy one to fall into, especially if you're not super careful about which echo chambers you spend time in.

My advice is to be thoughtful about your career and understand your company and industry's value system, but avoid cynicism and cynical people.

Sometimes. Other times those chars are not allowed in the embedding context (paths, for instance), so you have to use '+' and ','. Or maybe '_' and '-'.
I may be wrong on the finances then, as I had read on how Twitter was sinking in debt and Elon didn't know how bad it was, hence the firing. I thought most of the money came as investments from companies/people.

Re: GFY: I think it will play out well in the long term, because he verbalized people's real sentiments, and companies will advertise where people are/browse. Twitter's organic traffic is now off the charts afaik.
The worst products I have ever seen were when the developers acted like product managers. What you end up with are a bunch of really cool stuff that no one wants to pay for and only a few people find utility in.
Once someone is identified as a serial review bomber, then you’d just ban them and all their reviews. Or at least flag their reviews so they aren’t shown by default (similar to a shadow ban).

That person could no longer write verified reviews. Maybe it’s a permanent ban, maybe it’s a 1-5 year ban. They wouldn’t be able to verify another account with their identity until the ban is listed.

Yeah Steam is good, but mostly because it is a very closed loop system as they own the entire transaction-review-lifecycle. Not soo easy with other things like books.

Pretty sure your maths is off - even if it did steadily fall by 20% every 20 years, it'd still have a population of 16 to 17 million in 100 years' time. So no, not especially dire.
>Mine too. Any ideas why productivity has slowed down so much? Is this a software online observation, or more of a wider pattern

It's a wider pattern in fact:

"The productivity paradox, also referred to as the Solow paradox, could refer either to the slowdown in productivity growth in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s despite rapid development in the field of information technology (IT) over the same period, or to the slowdown in productivity growth in the United States and developed countries from the 2000s to 2020s; sometimes the newer slowdown is referred to as the productivity slowdown, the productivity puzzle, or the productivity paradox 2.0."

Good one. Anyone knows other review sites that do provide more control on which reviews I get to see?
> Mine too. Any ideas why productivity has slowed down so much?

It's not exactly a new idea:

> The term "software crisis" was coined by some attendees at the first NATO Software Engineering Conference in 1968 at Garmisch, Germany. [1]

As you can see, people have had the perception that it's harder to crank out software than before for a long time now. The reality is that we're collectively vastly better at it than we used to be, and that what we're trying to do gets harder and harder. No one is paying for the kind of productivity software dev had in the 2000's, and no one will be paying us 20 years from now for doing what we do now. Except if maintaining older software that yields value - in which case, well, maintaining and expanding a brownfield is always harder than greenfield.

Oh, price today is entirely margin related and poisoning the well by the ICE career attached people at major car makers. Everyone wants Tesla margins so is charging Tesla prices, and the ICE career aligned execs are intentionally pushing the ICE will be affordable narrative.

BYD, MG, and other Chinese EV makers are already eating ICE makers alive in Asia and creeping into Europe. Nothing about EV is necessarily expensive - they’re very simple devices, no part is exotic, and most of the current price is baked into fit and finish plus heavy margins.

ICE cars are genuinely amazing machines of precision mastery. They’re complex and difficult to make. The only reason they’re cheap is scale and long established supply chains. But if you reduced their complexity by 80-90% like with an EV, the scale and maturity of supply chain required to overtake ICE is not 25 years to establish. It’s more like 3-4.
I find it frustrating the the US Govt spends > $800B/yr on our "defense" while we run out of basic supplies like ammunition and all of our tanks and ships are falling apart.

Meanwhile, that same Govt spends < $1B on fusion, which could change the course of humanity.

I'm usually the last person to suggest that the govt should spend money on things, but for goodness sake I wish we could at least get our priorities straight as far as what to spend the money on.

If I didn't know better I'd think that the whole point of the defense department was to funnel money to well-connected corporations and execs.

> "decent human being" is too vague and easily manipulated term,

I don't think so. I believe the most common conclusions about what defines a decent human being are good ones. That is, the qualities that come to mind most naturally and frequently are truly benevolent.

Because they are defaults, they outlast efforts to slant and curate understanding.

What are the chances that will be anything other than the tried and true "boil some water to make steam to turn a turbine"
Well, first, I take it to be an axiomatic goal of science to believe that which is true, disbelieve that which is false and to be agnostic about things we have no evidence about; I.e to calibrate our model of world to the world as it is.

But, further, I’ve seen what happens when a subfield reports its findings in a way that misleadingly raises expectations of a titanic discovery just around the corner. When the discovery fails to materialize, over-optimism curdles into its opposite, over-cynicism. Better to calibrate expectations accurately — slow and steady wins the race.

No, but Microsoft has an AI term of service which forbids use of Microsoft AI for AI development.

q. AI Services. "AI services" are services that are labeled or described by Microsoft as including, using, powered by, or being an Artificial Intelligence ("AI") system.

iii. Limits on use of data from the AI Services. You may not use the AI services, or data from the AI services, to create, train, or improve (directly or indirectly) any other AI service.

Satya Nadella is King Midas. I emailed him and their legal team about it many times and he could have personally gone into the codebase and deleted this service term by now. I reported them to the State of Washington Attorney General (you can, too), and to the Federal Trade Commission Antitrust Team (you can, too), and to the Department of Justice Antitrust Enforcement Division (you can, too). Unclear how to report this to the EU Parliament AI Act folks, but maybe they posted new info since I last checked.

It’s a single line of text, certainly unfair and unreasonable and almost surely illegal in pretty much every relevant jurisdiction, so there’s certainly no an argument to be made that the fix is too technically challenging, even in light of Microsoft’s historical ineptitude.

We could check to see if Washington State has laws against contractual restraint of trade like California does.

Perseus: Removing Energy Bloat from Large Model Training

Prohibiting exceptions is necessary in the embedded space for, err, space and allocation reasons.

Just crash the system and reboot the MCU can make sense depending on the application. And where it can't, you need to take the same kind of care for handling every single problem at the call site, or correctly propagating it to a layer that can handle it.

Exceptions aren't special here, they are simply a way to do error handling and recovery.

It's the kind of rule that doesn't make sense for applications, but when you've got tightly constrained memory limits, it makes sense.

So far "verified" has run into the issue of how to verify while maintaining privacy and while allowing "not purchased on this platform". Verified sounds gtreat in theory but it's very hard to imagine how it would work.

Separating account verification and restricting the amount of reviews allowed - separated from privacy-respecting reviews might be a direction. But currently it's hard to trust anyone's "privacy-respecting" features.

(My impression is that in consequence, currently, "verified" means "mostly positive".)
