The distinction matters because it is the difference between random hypotheticals and real world events. To draw an analogy: should the TSA assume everyone might have a weapon and do a "special" search on every airline passenger, or wait until there is evidence that someone has a weapon (such as using an x-ray) and then escalate?

I had wanted to use Oilpan GC in the browser process for this reason, but the browser side folks were very opposed to using the blink libraries back then.

Most of the Chrome UI code is written with Web UI at least. These days I think they should consider typescript for more orchestration things within the browser too. It's a proven strategy by Electron.

The fundamental flaw in this article is that it assumes that everyone suddenly dislikes higher education due to the same reason, or at least non mutually-exclusive reasons. I think it's likely that people on the political right dislike it for being too "left", and people on the political left dislike it for not being "left" enough. It's also hard to tell how many people dislike higher education for some other reason, such as the author's reason (plagiarism and fake data scandals).

> Tesla sales this Q have been suppressed by people awaiting model refreshes

You're just saying "Tesla had less sales because of bad $X" with fancier words. The importance is not why Tesla fucked up (that's up to them to figure out), but that they're now being surpassed even though they had a huge headstart.
Imagine designing an intersection between two roads with two lanes in either direction as a flat intersection. It's being lazy and cheap to the point of being criminal. Or it's almost like it wasn't really designed at all, it just sort of happened because two roads crossed. The way those roads are long and straight leading into the intersection too. Crazy. Any drunk/unattentive driver is going to go what 40-50mph against a red light right through that intersection. Good thing they removed it. Few hundred of those left to fix I'm sure. The road overlay shows the size of the roundabout really isn't much larger than the original intersection either.
> Do I miss something?

The point of the article? The idea that I shouldn't have to ask my government for permission to view information/media? The fact that this absolutely will doxx your privacy to the government?

I'm all for, "wont somebody think of the children", but IMO protecting children is a 'solved' problem. When a child runs into the street we blame the parents, we don't install gates down every sidewalk. When a kid is seen riding a bike without a helmet, again, we don't decide that you need to send your government a selfie before the tires unlock.

Sites do have a responsibility to ensure people don't misuse their content. But liquor stores only ask for ID when you try to buy a dangerous substance, they don't make you ask your government for permission.

And that works flawlessly, fake IDs definitely aren't a thing, and I'm sure the same applies to this online ID thing.

Edit: I had 2nd thoughts about this because I don't like to make slippery slope arguments but this one seems worthy of consideration at the very least. Once this exists, all sites dealing with fraud will start to use it. Which Will have a DOS effect on government servers, which means they will try to mitigate it by requiring the requesting site provide a site ID and unique ID for the request. So much for any of the features that people expect might protect some privacy.
I just deployed the fix for this.
Absolutely agreed. I find it embarrassing how STEM devalued non-STEM studies for years, and now that LLMs are center stage, so is the near-universal unpreparedness of interested parties and stakeholders to wrestle with issues of cognition, consciousness, and ethics. This, despite literally thousands of years of prior studies on these matters.

Even now, I see basic refusal to engage with this extant literature, and a strong preference to just making shit up as if it's the first time anyone has anything interesting to say on these matters. Again, embarrassing. The industry is totally unprepared on an intellectual basis to wrestle with these issues.

Japan earthquake: The tiny firm that alerts millions about disasters

I'm a first principles thinker and prefer to learn from books, but it must be said that games are really exciting and YouTube videos very engaging. Books... not so much. Indeed, as a teenager in the 90's I first learnt to code from videos ("Learn Visual Basic Now" from Microsoft). First principles aren't much fun when the path to applying them in the manner you want is measured in years - this is where having an engaging and relatable teacher makes all the difference (out of scope here).

I've found that it's much easier to jump into coding in an established environment where there's a large ecosystem that's well-groomed by a large corporate entity, so think Unity/C# or Swift Playgrounds. There's less jargon, fewer ways to do the same thing, and much, much better and varied learning resources.

My younger brother got into coding as a teenager, via an interest in gaming, nudged along by me. There were several false starts as the kind of games he was interested in, namely 3D MMORPGs built by thousands of engineers and artists, had no beginner-level on-ramp to learning. Eventually he picked up enough coding skills that he developed an interest in coding in general and went on to study it in college. 20 years later I still don't think he's written a game though :) but he does write code that schedules the UKs trains!

Nobody underestimates it. It is clear that this stuff is not cheap. However, all publications without datasets are garbage because you can't replicate them. Why publish at all? It's just noise.
Very true! I think it’s eye opening that almost every one of Chomsky’s lectures on such topics (I.e. “what kind of creatures are we?”) start with a discussion of what Newton, Galileo, or Descartes has to say about it.

The great thinkers of the past aren’t necessarily outdated, in some ways they might still have things to teach us from beyond the grave that we didn’t really appreciate when they were alive.

While I don't see any pictures of the turbo roundabout in the article, it does say there are raised lane dividers that prevent traffic from changing lanes, so this does not look like a turbo.

There are a few multi lane and single lane roundabouts in my city (US,CA), none have raised dividers. Sounds interesting. Roundabouts in the right place can really help with traffic. In some places they're just dumb: 4 way STOP sign WITH a roundabout for example, yes they do exist, wish I understood why.

You'd be surprised how much you can advance in life just by avoiding talking or thinking about other people too much, much less grouping them. It's a fundamental part of our animal brains and it's gotten oh-so-much worse as we migrated to the internet. And it leads to epistemic closure.

> that many of BYD's vehicles are not marketable outside of China

Yet, it seems like they're beating a lot of other EV makers across the world, and are producing top-selling vehicles in a bunch of countries. So seems it's somewhat working outside of China? Or I misunderstand what you mean.

I've used the US Free File Federal Taxes for the last five years and it just wasn't a problem, and I have yet to see anything that looked like programmer incompetence.

Now, that said, the way you debug your submittal is to paste an entire page of error gibberish that looks like very low level database error output into an entry box they point you to. Sounds gross! Ewwwww! Well actually I've been debugging c++ templates since forever and hohum it doesn't bother me. However... every single time it decoded the problem and told me exactly what I needed to do. It has taken me 2-4 tries each year to get it debugged and then it sails right through. The final result I've fed into two different state forms and that has sailed right through too. All free, and not that much of my time.

Now if they can get the UI for normies painless, which I suspect is the main programming problem (I don't say that UI programming is trivial), this will take off like a rocket ship and the US can the join the coterie of civilized nations that do this for all their citizens.
> Project Oberon is an amazing piece of computer science and amazing tool for teaching. The book and the code demonstrate, without any tiny amount of doubt, that it is possible to build a usable computing system small enough to fit in the head of a normal programmer. That, in my not-so-humble opinion, is a truly great achievement and I am in awe of Niklaus Wirth and Jürg Gutknecht for it.

I went to college a couple years before this guy, and I studied economics. In the years following graduation, I remember lamenting that my college didn't have any behavioral economics courses (which are very similar to applied psychology that the author discusses). But then when the replication crisis kicked in, and the behavioral econ/applied psych field got whacked pretty hard, I realized it was a blessing not a curse that I missed out on it!

I think I live in a typical US CA city and there are dozens if not hundreds of roundabouts in this suburb. And I don't understand why you would have stop signs AND a roundabout. I am hoping someone can explain this feature to me. It just seems like extra chance for confusion and extra source of danger because of that.
On this particular type of roundabout that would probably be hard to do: cars cannot circle on both lanes, outer lane will force you to exit.
I'm afraid of the hellscape of even more of these tanks on the road, and even on water now.

I stopped going to EJMR because it was far too much trolling, shit posting, racism, and other bad takes.

Agreed. For "non-profits" institutions, I certainly see college administration and trustee boards getting paid astronomical amounts for otherwise dubious work and expertise while students and academics suffer.

The thing that I found most insulting was when university faculty and staff would complain about entitled students. My reply was always," if your tuition for 1 year costs as much as a fully optioned luxury vehicle, I expect certain things to be present."

And I can at least sell the automobile at a later date. Can't do that with my toilet paper of a degree.

I wholeheartidly believe in some form of student loan forgiveness but it needs to be at the expense of higher education who created this crisis.

The solution is simple:
1. Cap student visas
2. End government backed student loans. Or at least restrict them to STEM only.
3. Tax university endowment income as a percent to pay down outstanding student loan debts when tuition is over an arbitrary amount.

Universities want to peddle socialism then it's time they pay their fair share.

Regulators order grounding of some Boeings after mid-air emergency
We have one of the dumb ones in NJ, circle at 202, 206, 28, with 202 going over it via a bridge. It is a very high stress round about where you can be stuck for some time waiting for an opening during rush hour, then you have to make a mad dash to another stop sign.
For a brand new app with a hard target release date of 1/2, I would have submitted before thanksgiving with the intention of getting a version of the app approved before the 22nd of December. Then I would have submitted again any fixes required or if there was any additional work done. Again, something an experienced dev would have done because they know that the Apple review process is a black box and you must expect and schedule around rejection.

So no, submitting on the 12th, in the middle of holiday season, is not submitting early. Yes, I know Apple says things only slow down for 22-27, but experience tells me they actually slow down starting the week of Thanksgiving and the slow down lasts until 1/2.

The better option would have been to schedule the release for 1/12 or sometime that is not the day everyone comes back to work. Many mistakes were made in this release planning.

Yes, it could be better. But an mvp-type launch that does some things well, without trying to achieve everything on day one, would definitely not be a "complete waste". If successful, it's laying the base for the next iterations of functionality.

For a lot of folks, they have one or two W2 forms to enter, and that's it. It's really not that hard. If even a million or so folks get benefit from it to start with, that's great, and we should then build on that.

Oh boy, I can't imagine how much the local facebook groups would complain if a new different turbo roundabout were to be installed where I live.

Despite there now being at least a couple dozen roundabouts within 15 miles of here, every new installation generates a cacophony of kvetching. There have been roundabouts here for almost 2 decades now but people still treat them like the devil himself created them. Thankfully the number of people going the wrong way around the one near my home has diminished to almost none.

Back on topic, I like the design of this, it sort of sidesteps the lane changing that larger roundabouts use.
>The FAA said the inspections will take between four and eight hours per plane.

Seems reasonable. I was wondering if a single event should really be enough to "ground" all similar planes, but seems like they just want to do a quick inspection.
I have it even worse near my house. A roundabout with a stop sign at every entrance. It actually causes more problems than a four way stop sign, because people enter without signaling and then get mad when you assume they're going straight.

There is literally no difference between someone going straight and someone turning until they are right in front of you (unlike with a regular intersection where they would at least angle the front of their car to indicate turning).
