For instance, MIT recently had a bunch of hate speech (against LGBTQ people) posted around campus. In response, MIT... defended the actions and encouraged students to post their own countermessages rather than take down the hateful posters: https://orgchart.mit.edu/letters/recent-postering

If anything, MIT has been more forceful in setting limits on pro-Palestinian demonstrations than on anti-LGBTQ speech.

“One doesn’t just” forget things like that. It’s aviation we’re talking about, not toy cars. This absolutely must not happen, and there should be processes in place to make sure it doesn’t.

It doesn’t actually matter if it’s an engineering or a process problem, because both of those point to an organisational problem that needs to be rooted out at a company to which we basically entrust our lives.

To be honest, I haven't read into western writing too much, but kundalini certainly leads to mystical experiences. It's closer to the Holy Spirit in Christianity, an animating principle (where the Father is pure awareness).

Kensho sounds more like insight gained into reality. While kundalini isn't required to have such insights, some authors say that attainment of it makes it easier to have them.

Generally, in Buddhism, they don't explicity talk about kundalini, except Tibetan Buddhism, where they have the rainbow body and vajrayana. Several authors do mention it, e.g. Culadasa in The Mind Illuminated and Shinzen Young amongst others. It's also clear from the Buddha's descriptions that he'd awoken his kundalini (at least that's my belief).

Truck manufacturers measure fuel efficiencies to the tenths and compete on that. At highway speeds, ICE engines win over a pure electric system, so throwing in another conversion step hurts. For city routes, pure electric is better than diesel-electric.

So in general, the disadvantages of a diesel-electric system outweigh any advantages when you take a look at how trucks operate.

New trucks have "automatic" transmissions (not torque converters- they're more like automatically shifting standard transmissions), so no manual shifting required.

Somewhat related, but refrigerated trailers ("refers") often use a diesel-electric system because it's easy to plug in to shore power and cut the diesel engine.
Yes, you've repeated your opinion on that often enough that nobody doubts that it indeed is your opinion.

But the fact is that the regulators covering basically all of the West don't share that opinion. In fact, they're not merely neutral on it. They have expressly forbidden Google from doing what you want.

And while your opinion is as valid as anyone else's, as a practical matter what the regulators decide will trump that opinion.

A bit off-topic, but I found it curious that Ryanair refuses to call their Max fleet "737 Max-8", instead they go for "737-8200" in both their safety cards and cabin briefings. I wonder if this is common and if other airlines do the same after the reputational damage from the crashes and groundings.

I agree that context is missing.

But I can't think of an obvious class of business problems where the database schema for a customer facing system wouldn't be served by working hand in hand with the customer.

But, that is probably due to my cognitive limitations, lack of specific experience, or absence of knowledge regarding the context you are thinking of.

Can you give some context to the sort of problems you are focused on? Thanks.

It does seem like Apple and a few other companies still manage to do a half-decent job today. It takes a lot of running around through the phone tree and putting up with people going through the long script of solutions you already tried, but if you can get a few rungs up the escalation ladder you get to people who can make things happen, still.

Definitely not the same as it was, though :(

I don’t guess we’ll ever come to an understanding then, because I find that list totally laughable and a perfect example of what I’m talking about. I like Bill Bryson and I own the book but if his a Short History of Nearly Everything (#1 on the list) is the strongest example of what “changed your thinking, changed your mind, enlightened you, helped you move ahead” etc., well, things are very grim indeed. Scrolling down the list mostly gets much worse. The world would be no worse off if most of those books had never existed, and many of them don’t offer anything new at all. I scrolled down to 100, against my better instincts and encountering such luminaries as Tina Fey.

People have had interesting insights in that period - of course - but very few of them require anything longer than a sentence, and they are few and far between.

By the way, 2000 was chosen semi-arbitrarily, I would probably put the line much farther back.

Ah you’re right. They’re not design flaws, just manufacturing issues, so sign me up for the first flight when the max flies again…

People falling out the sky because the wing falls off because someone forgot to bolt it on aren’t going to care if it’s a design issue or a manufacturing issue. Boeing is doing both, so the blame lies with them either way.

> IMO the connection was that universities are hesitant to pursue claims of replication problems, plagiarism, etc. when the accused academic is from a preferred groups, or has preferred ideologies.

But if it wants to make that point it should start by stating the point outright and then follow-on with some sort of supporting arguments.

The post brings up Dan Ariely's work that doesn't replicate. So far as I know there's no allegation that this was political -- just plain old self-interest.

The only thing it presents is an allegation about some history paper around metallurgy. Which just seems like a bitter association rather than an attempt at evidencing the claim that the majority of academic replication failure is political.

The more I reread this the more half-baked and rambly it seems.
I wish you luck. I have limited perspective, but I'd wager that the externalities of greed and human conflict will prevail over the thoughtful and pragmatic limitation of technology for human benefit. I hope I'm wrong (for everyone's sake).
> indent-based structure [...] less suited for more complex cases

How so?
Or some combined major crashes on US soil?
That might be a good thing. We have a lot of laws on the books that have outrageous penalties. Automobile speeding is an example. The fines are absolutely too punitive for the risk, because the laws are designed to be enforced only sparingly and randomly. This makes sense in an age when sensors weren't good and weren't univeral, where cops had to trail you at speed to measure, and there weren't that many cops, really. It makes sense to have prohibitively large dollar amount fins to make up for very rare enforcement.

Now that we can enforce speed limits pretty much 100% of the time, the fines need to be far, far smaller. If we enforce speeding laws all the time, everywhere, small dollar amount fines will serve to keep people from speeding.

Since lowering fines is politically difficult ("My opponent is Soft On Crime!") it won't happen until a large fraction of the populace gets penalized and there's a voter referendum on the subject.

Thanks for these links, they are super informative! The split of the project with only ~10% of the project coming from state money, with federal money making up ~90% of the $15M, is quite interesting.

It's always fascinating how expensive car infrastructure is in comparison to, say, bike infrastructure. Additionally, it's interesting how there's approximately zero public process for these very expensive car infrastructure process, but a mere bike lane will ensure years of public input, each meeting a chance to veto the project but without any meetings that would allow the bike to definitively be built without further meetings.

The ease at which anyone could create a new Linux distribution is both a good and bad aspect of the operating system in general. There are dozens of larger mainstream distributions in widespread use, as well as dozens of smaller distributions that serve a niche purpose well (e.g., Alpine). Unfortunately, there's also dozens of other distributions that claim to serve a purpose but don't actually do so, or overlap with other distributions that do so better. My initial impression from reading their website is that Adélie falls into the latter category. In other words, it isn't particular clear what niche or purpose Adélie is aimed at solving that other distributions don't already solve.
It is certainly not irrelevant, and it certainly is at the basis of most DAW/vst stuff. But, there are still a lot of new ideas around. And you do find some historical articles [1]. No books I know of, though; I wish I could write one :)

I suspect the high complexity and decentralization of the community's evolution leave scholars disoriented. It is the same story for the music being made (with these same tools) itself; the genres exploded around 2000, and most popular music histories speak more of the Beatles than the last 25 years.

And a final point: these new tools (and again, the resulting music itself) are sometimes brushed aside as 'low brow' in academic electronic music circles.

What you are describing is similar to how I was diagnosed.

I took the WAIS-IV and was told that I do not "technically" have an IQ since I have ADHD and the tests are not designed nor calibrated to measure intelligence in populations other than neurotypicals. Doesn't mean I cannot be given a score, just that it's not technically "accurate."

I am quite dubious of IQ testing to begin with. But for the sake of adding to your comment, I had 2.5 standard deviations between some of my scores. I was significantly stronger in my VCI and PRI than my WMI and PSI.
I recently stumbled across a speech from 1855 by an American physician [1], and I suppose proto-electrical-engineer, talking about the telegraph. In it, he makes a direct analogy between the telegraph and the animal nervous system. (People were aware by then, that the nervous system was partly electrical in nature.)

The complexity of the nervous system and its ability to coordinate across distance, allows it to support more complex and bigger organisms, whether that organism is biological or political. Continuing with his analogy, the railroads and canals are the arteries and veins, supplying the raw materials and finished products, etc.

More tenuously, he also appears to make a kind of proto-evolutionary analogy (Darwin hadn't published but Lamarck had published decades before, by this point). And I even detect small hints of an antecedent to the concept of emergent complexity, and the notion of shared structures across biology, sociology, etc.

> The electric telegraph is thus the nervous system of this nation and of modern society by no figure of speech, by no distant analogy. Its wires spread like nerves over the surface of the land, interlinking distant parts, and making possible a perpetually higher co-operation among men, and higher social forms than have hitherto existed. [...]

> We are thus conducted to the result of the highest philosophy: that society in its form of organization, is human, and that it presents in its progressive development continually higher analogies with the laws of individual being. [...]

It is not a plug door in this case. There was no door - this was a kind of blanker for a space where there could have been a door.

A bit like when you buy a car model that doesn’t have all the options installed, there’s a space for the button or switch for the option in the dashboard or whatever but it’s filled in with a fixed bit of plastic - it saves them from having to produce multiple different versions of dashboard, or in this case plane fuselages.
Hmm, even just reading the Wikipedia article has brought up some annoying philosophical/physics questions. I think we should instead aim to hit a critical mass of supporters with feel-good pablum and hopefully one of them will be good at arguing with philosophers, as that is beyond me. :)

I believe the reason mathematicians generally like classical logics and informaticians generally like intuitionist logics is that mathematicians are already working at the semantic level, and are solely concerned with being, while informaticians are passing between syntax and semantics, and are concerned also with becoming. In the former world, equality is easy, and excluded middle applies; in the latter world, things which are not syntactically equal may later evaluate to be semantically equal, which destroys excluded middle.

Similarly, all proofs are equal in the world where we've already forgotten every detail but their existence and all is static, but they are most definitely unequal in the dynamic world in which we're trying to create new detailed paths by welding together the details of paths we already have.

I absolutely agree. I meant it as a comparison to issues like the infamous MCAS, which was wrong on purpose on all 737 Max 8s everywhere.
