Not to say anything nice about the ideological sh*t-show of modern academia...but an article sub-titled "Academics should think more about what their industry has done to lose the trust of Americans" might want to mention the decades of far-faster-than-inflation tuition increases, and destitution-level pay for most of the instructional staff, and ever-growing administrative bloat, and student-luxury-amenities arms race, and blind eyes turned to university-staff sexual predators, and ...

Well, Pascal had plenty of flaws too, not just excessive simplicity. From day one the only way to do almost anything non-trivial in Pascal was to abuse variant records as a way to do typecasts. The I/O library was horrible, but standardized as part of the language - e.g. there was no standard way to open a named file, and the only way to close any file was to reopen it (via reset/write) to a temporary file which would have the side effect of closing the original one.

In the event there was no standardized (vs proprietary) meaningful improvement to Pascal (ISO Pascal basically just added poorly thought out "conformant arrays"), and Wirth himself just moved on and designed a new language instead - Modula-2, which was an improvement but also not great, then abandoned that in favor of Oberon.

My objective was to figure out whether their "always be honest" mantra they preached to employees had even a shred of merits. All I did was explain it in a way that didn't mention that I was not in any way in the vehicle, but performed hand gestures that would imply I was. The whole meeting was being typed out for records sake and I knew the fact that I wasn't, once revealed, would render them helpless. Especially because the policy of documenting who had each vehicle meant to go after employees, could also be used to demonstrate that I wasn't guilty, even if they chose to lie.

Another thing to consider is that the outcome (which is the one I wanted) resulted in me having them by the balls. I could repeat it to them as retribution in front of other employees with records to back it up and even in front of higher management to demonstrate how grossly incompetent they are.
"Gig workers are not elegible" - that's the Biden loophole written in there straghtaway. Nowadays anyone able-bodied and on low income has at least one gig work app installed on their phone - Uber, Doordash, Amazon Flex, you name it!

If the political system is corrupt, it's unreasonable to assume that one party is better than the other.
It can also do 360 degree self centered turn, which should be useful. No more 3 point turns!

Given the flexibility of installing the motors, I've always wondered why electric cars still can't move in a parallel way. That should be very handy when parallel parking.

Or they’re saying this because they know the IRS effort doesn’t have competent people on it (think what happened with the healthcare website when it launched) and is just prepping the waters for a “see we were telling you along this was a bad idea” criticism for congress people to spike it later. It’s really hard to intuit the strategy being employed so best to just ignore them altogether. And if this turns into a partisan issue at all (which an unclean launch might because people are dumb about government tech in the US), then expect the Trump administration to kill this if they win to prevent this from becoming entrenched and popular like Obamacare is.

The cost of building a highway compared to the cost of running even a "once daily" bus service may not be exactly the ratio you think it is, especially if the bus would normally run empty.

A highway is a one-time cost, amortized over many uses, a bus is an ongoing cost.

It would be much easier to "stick a seat" on some government vehicle that already does the trip regularly, allowing a passenger or two to ride along with the mail truck.

You're right about the math. I don't blame you for making the decision based on the cost difference, but not everyone makes a car buying decision that way so it's important to point out the other benefits for the folks who are willing to pay more for those other benefits.

While I do agree with a lot of this, it strikes me that what may be occurring is simply shoddy academic work. But since the context in which it is happening is one of claimed progressiveness we get an existential and philosophical takedown that implies there’s a deeply rotten core at the center of the university system.

I don’t know whether or not scholarship quality is in decline or not, but a “culture war” happening doesn’t on its own make things like the replication crisis better or worse. These issues have been on-going for a lot longer than any western public figure has been forced to feign concern about colonialism.

What? Miniature is colonial?

Please let me introduce you to the concept "Persian Miniature", it even has a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_miniature

There is also the equally (if not more) well-known concept of "Chinese Miniature Painting". Example: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/36047

Both of these traditions are very established in Art History and any hypothetical tie to Western colonialism is, well, fully absent. That said, do a search using your favorite search engine. Miniature is not exactly a niche concept, so you will find lots and lots of great (small) stuff.

> I’m not under the impression that the replication crisis in the social sciences looms as large for others as it does for me

Not just social sciences. I decided to get out of biology when I helped an adjacent lab with some machine learning, discovered that the entire effect they were looking at was due to the old gotcha about groups of correlated files getting split across the train/test barrier, gently communicated the bad news to the person who had asked for my help... and a year or so later saw the uncorrected result on the front page of Nature.

Perhaps for some things, but, for example, holidays far away are a choice, buying a large house is a choice, buying lots of clothes is a choice.

Buying a large house is a 'choice' in the sense that much of middle housing is illegal and that political structures aren't designed to maximize the efficient use of land.

There's a reason why Georgism is in vogue these days.

buying lots of clothes is a choice.

Ah, yes. Powered by a system that is designed to exploit brains for profit. It's like eating junk food is a choice. Or not exercising is a 'choice'.

They are useless excuses that justify the status quo rather than empowering us to do something about it.
It’s actually not a complaint more of an observation.

Back to the point I was making: BI didn't choose Oxman due to her academic position. They chose her because she is the wife of Bill Ackman.

It's a good tactic! But let's assume Oxman and Gay are equal on both scholarly output and extent of plagiarism.

Removing Gay (who was President of the world's most famous university) seems like it moves things forward. Bringing Oxman into it seems like it's aimed at halting that progress. BI is engaged in whataboutism. If they were trying to show how pervasive plagiarism is, they could have chosen a current academic, ideally one with a senior position at a famous university.
> simply shoddy academic work. But since the context in which it is happening is one of claimed progressiveness we get an existential and philosophical takedown that implies there’s a deeply rotten core at the center of the university system.

There is a difference between "shoddy academic work" and the university defending that using 1984 type phrases like "duplicate work" and threatening journalists who reported the plagiarism.

I find it annoying that other social networks offer "hide this" or "see less" features which are ineffective. E.g. Facebook won't stop putting clickbait "shorts" at the top, no matter what I do. YouTube keeps showing me ads for some kind of dating crap with suggestive pictures of women despite my best efforts (apart from adblock, which stopped the obnoxious and repetitive ads...)
I think you’ve missed the real point of the article. Yes, of course it is suggesting that the wealthy should invest across a diverse set of asset classes, and within those asset classes they should have diverse investments: an index fund would be great for the part of their wealth put into stocks.

But the point is that if you want intergenerational wealth and you want it to grow essentially forever, your extremely wealthy families must be willing to drastically reduce spending when their portfolios are doing poorly. For decades at a time, if necessary. Sell the yacht, sell the mansion, all so that your great grandchildren (who you will never know) can be ludicrously rich. It’s no wonder few have done so.

It’s 100% the fault of our industry for sitting around doing nothing but repackaging old technology in overpriced chonker trucks and trying to obstruct the EV transition with disinformation. All they want to do is sell the same mediocre gas guzzler forever.

Innovators’ dilemma strikes again.

Of course I guess Japan decimated US auto last time. It was kinda the same deal. US companies just wanted to sell super heavy low tech V8 gas guzzlers like the Ford LTD. Japan came with reliable efficient cars and ate out the market.

I’m sure they’ll get more bailouts.

Here in the Netherlands, a roundabout is always the first choice and only if space is a limiting factor is a light used. But nowadays, the lights are really smart and can sometimes change to green for a single approaching car if there is space.

completely random thought: a roundabout is technically vulnerable to a DoS attack if enough drivers coordinate their efforts and just drive around in circles. Unless there is a law compelling drivers to choose an exit, that's technically different than a DoS attack by stopping in the roadway.

Perhaps my explanation wasn’t the best but academic organizations have been wielding and abusing the law to shield themselves from criticism and consequence for forever. And the same goes for the private sector when it gets brought to task by academics.

Spoilers; it’s always the one with the most capital that wins.
That’s just anecdote, just like mine. Even simple lack of experience or lack of skills can cause that (which were definitely in my case). Also, I’m quite sure that a terrific coder can create maintainable code faster than an average one bad code. That’s why I asked some statistical data about that.
A union B is defined as the set of things that are in A or in B; A intersect B is defined as the set of things that are in A and in B. So I don't really see it as an arbitrary choice.

> They dwell on the origins like here but gloss over what I believe to be a cambrian Explosion brought about by DAWs/plugins from the 2000s

That's a bit like saying history about CSS1 is irrelevant because now we have CSS3, they're just different parts of the same history.

Same with electronic music from hardware and electronic music from software. They're a part of the same history, just different parts.

Of course, the latter probably wouldn't exists without the former, most music software emulates what we already were doing in hardware after all, albeit a lot more flexible.

It's also way more fresh, even I as a youngster (~30y) can remember that, compared to all this initial hardware innovation where I wasn't even around to experience.

That said, I'm sure there are plenty of articles about the history of DAWs and plugins, is there not? If there isn't, sounds like the world is waiting for someone like you to put it together :) I for one would read it for sure.

From my perspective a large factor contributing to its popularity is because of FastAPIs native integration. V2 has broken so much behavior, and the library is generally fragile and slow. Credit where it is due, it is a great library that has done a lot to bring python types to more projects, but there are better solutions out there now.

I’d strongly recommend looking into msgspec. It is a much faster alternative and is largely “correct” in its implementation. It uses all of the python native type annotations without many hacks. Really it is much much faster and can actually be used for performance sensitive python workloads that need strong typing.
