Tantacrul has been making videos about music far before he joined Muse. He is into UX and music. What is he supposed to do? Avoid getting a fitting job? Stop making related videos if he does?

I watched the video when it was released. I guess he mentions MuseScore but I don't remember this. I think I would have remembered an unwarranted mention though. His insight into MuseScore is likely to please his subscribers.

And of course the video thumbnail and the title are clickbait. Most mildly successful channel do this because it's pretty much a condition for success on YouTube. I guess blame YouTube or possibly human nature for this. I didn't find the content deceitful.

I liked the video, it was quite interesting and entertaining.

For any kind of literacy, there's going to be a chicken and egg problem. If you suggested to an ancient mediterranean scribe that everyone should learn reading and writing, they'd probably say, "Pah, it would be a huge waste of time for most of them. Very little practical use. They get by with memorization anyway." And they'd be right, in a sense! We don't know beforehand what the fruit of universal literacy will be.
Maybe there is a good reason for it ? Wait for the answer before giving them judgment.

You might be right, but there might be a valid answer.
Replacing the code may be in fact impossible exactly because nobody understands it, while it still fulfills a vital business function (or sometimes a vital hobbyist function). There is a lot of code like that out in the world.

I doubt your “other domains” are as safe and reliable as the aviation industry. An automated system may be possible to make, but will require a huge undertaking to bring even close to the current safety standards, and would introduce its own safety issues
"launching fast is really the key!"

That is todays Mantra it seems. But there is no second chance to correct a first impression, if your rushed prototype was too rushed and no one gets the value beneath the flaws. It really depends on your product and market.
Sounds like these are recommendations some organizations can use or substitute by better methods of auditing. I would argue that if fraud can be covered by the presence of an individual, the problem is with the audit processes and controls in place.

Plus the individual being aware of the requirement could easily circumvent by only stealing every quarter or every month :-)

Holy crap. That’s some news to come home to after the earthquake yesterday…
By pure coincidence I just discovered Tom Scott today. I happen to have resolved yesterday to do a video each week for the rest of this year.

After seeing this I am wondering if I might just try to stretch that to 10 years...
I have thought the same multiple times.

I think the problem might not be super simple to solve through updating vehicles.

You need to update infrastructure globally (and thus you need coordination between multiple different agencies), then you need to implement the solution at both airport and vehicles level.

That's a lot of work. In case of LATAM the Airbus hit a fire truck (which would've too required such a solution). In case of the Linate air disaster, such technology would've had to be implemented on a very small Cessna Citation model.

Maybe the updates need to be implemented at the airport level alone, quickly signaling controllers of possible violations/conflicts, and in fact most major airports have both ground radars and clear ground signals to avoid these incidents.

But it's still impossible to avoid these issues as these errors may happen in a matter of very few seconds thus not giving enough time to react to any of the involved parties.

The full css path of the div you want to block will be different on every type of list, "home", "recommended", "subscriptions" etc. But the basic string rule will be the same, you just have to set 3 or 4 sets of the same rules and you're done.

Also, you'll have to set the rules on both mobile and desktop, since the layouts are different. But after setting up the first rule set, it's just a copy and paste job for every other list. Not a hard task at all. I haven't touched my filters in over 3 months, the last time was to add the "no video with more than 1 million views" rule.

These rules basically never break, I only have to edit the filters when the Youtube algo decides to push another set of annoying videos on to my feed. The layout, it seems, never changes.
The Courage to Admit You're Wrong
And yet, aviation is one of the safest industries mankind ever built. It seems those solution in place are actually pretty good.

Edit: Something I try to take to heart, if I don't have domain knowledge, I assume that whatever easy solution I can think of either was already discarded for valid reasons I don't know nor understand or is already implemented without me knowing about it. Generally, people working in a particular field tend to be competent in that field, just assuke that more often than not they know what they are doing.
I am sorry you feel I am being nitpicky.

Here's a typical metro ticket machine

https://lrt.daxack.ca/Cities/Minneapolis/hires003.jpg

The coin slot is in the top right.

As Kara only maintained the machine function, he
didn’t have direct access to the cash box where
the coins were collected after customers had fed
them to purchase LRT tickets.

He removed the face plate from the ticket
machines, which as a repairman would raise no
suspicion

His job would have included duties like resetting the machine if it locked up, removing jams for receipts and ticket printers, loading new thermal paper and cardstock for printed receipts and tickets, etc. Things you would expect someone dressed in company maintenance attire to be doing.

Ultimately what I think happened is that, behind the faceplate, the opening for the coin box is larger than the coin slot on the faceplate, possibly for tolerance reasons to ensure that a coin passing through the faceplate always lands into the coin box. This gap was enough to get an antenna down into with a magnet attached to the end.
- Splitting my time 50/50 between building and business.

- Holding myself and my co-founders accountable with metrics. If we say we're going to reach out to potential customers there will be a number/time_period involved.

- Doing with intention with a direct goal and deadline instead of just generally building.

Last year I spent 90% of my time coding. The last 2 months of the year I talked to more businesses than I have in the last 3 years and started to see progress in idea development. My team just bought ZoomInfo and we're setting up HubSpot. My #1 goal is to spend time on the business and not just code 60 hours a week.
It sounds like the cash boxes had an open slot he could just fish coins out of with a magnetic tipped car antenna. You can get things like that ready-made these days for fishing things out of tight spots.

It's rarely that straightforward: most all runway collisions involve ATC giving correct instructions, but the crew mishears them, misunderstands them, hears them correctly but accidentally goes to the wrong runway/taxiway, etc etc. And there's usually complicating factors like terrible weather, diversions to unfamiliar airports etc in the mix as well. What remains the world's worst single aviation disaster in Tenerife checked pretty much all these boxes.

>Investing customers money, create money.

And they can do this without a federal government backstop, just like an SP500 ETF does or a US Treasuries mutual fund, or an REIT, etc.

My point is the federal government need not provide a subsidy to these businesses that "invest" customer's money (or simply handle the underwriting of loans in many cases).

Right now in the US, via the Fed Funds rate, the federal government pays a business 5.5% just so the business then turns around and pays me 5.05%, all for keeping an entry in a database. And these businesses pay a lot of less discerning depositors a lot less. Surely the federal government can just give all 5.5% to people directly.

Wouldn't they be able to measure the rolls of ticket paper?

And mechancial counters were a thing in 1981 as well. I mean the machines had a way to say "you need to pay X amount" or a way to count money, surely that can be fed into a daily / weekly counter, a printed record, etc.

And also, they were pretty precise with the amount that he stole: they can't bring a guess to court, they had an exact record of how much was stolen.
Absolutely. In no way his video about Dorico was trashing. He did raise seemingly valid criticism in an entertaining way (to each their own about that last part).

I don't quite get the hatred Tantacrul is getting here.

About taking UI/UX idea from other products: I don't know if he actually did, but this constantly happens and this is not stealing. If nobody did, each program would come with its own UX and it would be a nightmare.
> Now there's one more dimension of unfairness. But who cares? You're still going to be winning ~51% of the time, that's why matchmaking systems exist

No. That's not how it's going to work. You'll lose 100% games against cheaters Elo and then win 80% (or similar) against lower-level players you get matched against because your Elo goes down due to cheaters. Overall yeah, you might end up with a 50% win rate but that doesn't really matter.

Of course that would be more pronounced in RTS or other 1v1 or team games with small number of players (then again nobody would play them anymore because it would just be waste of time, when you're matched against a cheater because you'll be forced to waste X min before you figure that out).

Why replacing programmers with AI won't be so easy
It should be noted that the environmental impact wasn't really known and the energy potential of fuels still is unmatched.

From an engineering perspective with the information available at that time, the decision was probably "correct". Batteries were something like a necessary evil. For example to propel uboats because of the lack of oxygen. Otherwise the energy density and triviality of re-fuel-ing easily wins out.
Who said useless?

I've seen similar things where I work. In a new building, the architects called for small air vents that would look nice according to some aesthetic criterion. Unfortunately, the vents were so small that, to maintain air flow, the fans inside them had to spin so fast they screamed. This made for a very unpleasant environment.

This was where high-profile events tended to take place, to show off the bright new shiny things. But you couldn't hear yourself think there. The solution? They turned off the fans a short time before important visitors arrived.

I learned of this when I was chatting with a worker who deals with such things. Apparently, the people who were installing these vents knew that they would be a problem. But who were they going to complain to? The architects don't work here, and the local managers don't listen to their underlings.

There are lots of stories like this in many work environments. I think the common thread is that high mucky-mucks are not interested in talking with the people who are doing the labour.
But they had a record that said how much he stole. So they knew how much they were supposed to earn vs what they did earn.
I'd say its a grey area in our case. The user isn't using a "tell me when discounts happen" feature, but rather a favourites feature where some of our marketing said to favourite things to get a discount.

Another instance but via notification was that someone would lose their product if they didn't complete the transaction (24 hours notice). This wasn't a lie - we reserved inventory for 24 hours for a buyer as it was a unique product. Versus something like booking which is eternally telling me someone else is about to reserve the room I'm considering renting.
One important point is that it’s implementers who vote on the C standard. And they may not want to vote for a version that breaks compatibility for their users (but not for users of other, competing implementations). This is one reason why certain semantics remain undefined or implementation-defined.

The problem with communism isn't the revolution, that part has worked incredibly well. It's the fact that the communists don't know what they actually want. I've seen them argue against almost every concrete concept or idea that is falsifiable, but has a decent track record of improving people's lives, because it compromises their all or nothing ideology. Xi Jingping said something like "How about we let the ideology slide and try something that works for now" and no, China did not adopt capitalism, they adopted a heavily state controlled market economy with politicians having direct influence over almost every major business with the ability to fire CEOs. If anything, this proves that the western style "anti-statism" ideology that blames all economic problems on government intervention is, like communism, complete bullcrap. Yet you naively hear from people how China has adopted Capitalism, when in reality they broke literally every single rule in both the capitalist and communist books.

I believe the root of the problem is a misconception of how humans function. The prevalent trends in related fields, from AI/Neuroscience [1] to PKM/TFT [2], are further entrenching this crude rational/willpower-based perspective.

Perhaps the true (meta)rational perspective is to actually understand how to embrace the larger complexity of human experience (including sensibility/creativity/play...). Maybe the real willpower is to stop obsessing over this limited viewpoint (and the fears it produces) all the time.

By contrast, particularly observing a range of adults from colleagues to seniors with early onset dementia, I'm increasingly sure a large portion of discourse is of the "LLM continuation" variety.

Everyone knows that colleague (I am one myself) where a particular topic will kick off a continuation that follows a well worn path albeit with a bit higher temperature than zero.

With early onset dementia where working memory and self-suppression are removed, you can unspool the same commentary as often as you like by teeing up the same context to trigger it.

Although Aaron phrased it as an aside, I think this is a critical point about how "Trust the Programmer" should be construed going forward:

> I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect “trust me, I know what I’m doing” users to have to step outside of the language to accomplish their goals and use facilities like inline assembly or implementation extensions.

This is an extremely good point: if you can "trust the programmer" to write C code which exploits undefined behavior or other fundamentally unsafe compiler-dependent features, then you should be able to trust them to write inline assembly or a compiler extension to accomplish the same goal. If they can't, then they shouldn't be mucking around with undefined behavior in C: they might understand the behavior of the compiler at a "ChatGPT level" - as a set of ad hoc if-A-then-B's - but I wouldn't trust them to make serious decisions about state and security.
I wouldn't know about the legal structure you would like to invest your assets. Do it as you please, these things vary country by country too. The core concept is that you need to have some kind of structure for handling the money and a method to keep that structure in check.

The problematic part starts when someone acts outside of this structure, like employees who take customers money and invest with it without explicitly having a right to do that.
I think one mistake is trying to be a marketplace, rather than a reseller.

If an Amazon replacement (A Inc) is shipping a 3M product, it should go directly from 3M to an A warehouse, and from there, to me. The supply chain should be trusted. I don't think A should try to be a marketplace where anyone can go in, and sell "3M" products which then get comingled.

If a vendor wants to sell on A, someone from A should, at the very least, have a conversation with them, look up their corporate registration, etc., and make sure everything is legit.

If there is a report of a scam, A should look into it every time. I think this is really where Amazon fell apart. Scammers should not get away with it. Right now, if I get scammed, those same scammers keep selling, even under the same name.

Pricing should be set not to be the lowest-cost vendor, but the lowest-cost vendor _with reasonable support_, including and especially investigating scams. The reason to look into a scam isn't to support me, but to avoid needing to support the next thousand people, and the reputation harm that comes with that. Scams and other issues should not have costs externalized to the customer. That sets internal incentives right.

Amazon did this adequately well pre-covid, and most online stores (which is not the same as marketplaces) don't have the same set of problems. Amazon has drifted from being a low-cost / high-service / good logistics competitor to Target, Walmart, etc. to being a high-cost competitor to eBay and Aliexpress.
