A honest question, only tangentially on-topic. Our parents all needed to have sex so we got conceived. So i would expect it to be a socially normalized thing, aka "people do it all the time".

But yet we live in a society where any form of open sexuality is shunned. If you want to play along you sort of have to pretend these things don't exist. Why is that?

There are 3 versions of Lynch's Dune.

Spicediver's version is the best ... if you can find it.
The steel box / director's cut is the 2nd best. Lastly is the theatrical version which is the worst for the average person but pretty good if you have read the book once or twice.

This seems like a strange reading of Gelman's post given the very clear quote you are responding to.
Worlds hardest jigsaw vs. puzzle machine (all white) [video]
I'm uncomfortable with programs that rely on complicated compile-time evaluation within the type system.

For complicated runtime behavior, we have various tools for stepping through the evaluations as they unfold. E.g., debuggers, print statements, etc.

But I haven't come across anything similar for these type-based evaluations. Usually the best I get is a compiler warning or error, or even worse, an unexpected successful compilation.

Are there any efforts to help with this, for e.g. C++ compilation?
Training actually improves the product (athletic performance). Does an athlete going on a commercial to hawk shoes make them a better athlete or make the shoes better? Would the answer be different once we change domains back to software? Marketing may be a necessary business activity in the current environment, but it is not at all like training in its fundamental effect on the quality of the product. (Though in that regard, I think juicing was a bit awkward as an analogy)
>Betavolt says that after it has decayed the 63 nuclear isotopes become copper, which would be non-radioactive and not cause any environmental threat.

Well, what happens when you throw the non-decayed thing in a firepit or run it through a wood chipper?
Well that’s a completely false statement. C++ is a first class language, and all C++ APIs and ABIs are stable. It is used extensively across macOS and iOS, and has large amounts of support through out the apple provided dev tools. Significant improvements to the C++ UX were part of the motivation for clang.

C++ is not used for the majority of platform APIs because of all the problems, difficulties, and costs of ensuring ABI stability. C++ ABIs are notoriously fragile, which is a problem objc does not have, and swift was designed specifically to reduce ABI issues (that’s part of the reason generics are implemented as they are)
The nice thing about this design is that the correct thing is also easier than the incorrect thing:

var q = DB."SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE a = \{b}"; // PreparedStatement?
var results = conn.execute(q); // ResultSet

is shorter and easier to write than the non-safe alternative.

That said, I wonder how often people are writing queries out by hand like that these days vs using ORMs or jOOQ.
The problem is there are too many uncool, untraveled, insecure, stupid people who happen to be Americans who aren't getting any and cling to their prejudices as part of their self-righteous identity.

As a single business, marketing is a totally rational way to boost sales. Collectively, it’s just a tax.

If no one was paying, but people were still writing, the best solutions would likely bubble to the top. But as soon as someone pays for placement, everyone needs to. You end up with a new normal that’s the same as before (modulo those products that are better at marketing) but everyone had to pay a bunch of money.

Short of literally banning advertising, there’s no way around it/any serious business needs to do it. But I get the take that it’s a cost that is only necessary because everyone else is doing it.
Do you feel the same way about the Lord of the Rings films? The most common complaints about those are where it has strayed from the source material.

Dune isn't fully pure, either. It goes against the most frequent theme of the first book simply by 'shooting' scenes outside during the day. Caladan is much more fleshed out. It introduces new Bene Tleilax lore in the first film which is notable because Herbert himself didn't introduce them until there was a second book to write, omniscience to restrict and characters to resurrect. Looking at the trailers for the next film, Feyd Rautha is bald Elvis instead of a handsome Paul-like character and I'd be very surprised if all of the Baron's proclivities are retained.
But the screen cracked 49 years ago. It stopped getting OS updates 48 years ago. And the 5G towers got deprecated 40 years ago.
Bigotry is still alive and well. It just changes shape over time. Puritanical condemnation of sexuality is a long standing tradition in the US. If they had their way, God would forbid anyone from sex if out of wedlock or without the purpose to procreate. Bunch of prudes, if you ask me.
I don't understand why the service life is relevant here, unless ANA wasn't maintaining their planes properly which I doubt is the case given the reputation of this airline.

Gelman rejects the idea of having to march in step and recite the official slogans in the right tone of voice at the right time.

He approaches the matter somewhat indirectly. These people are more direct:

Why phones? I want nuclear powered electric vehicles. If you could even get an EV with the performance of a Prius that never needed gas or a charge for 250,000 miles, that would be a major accomplishment.
Can you elaborate this a bit?

As far as I know, the University of California never issued an official statement on the war in Ukraine. On our campus, the campus leadership issued their own condemnation about a week after the invasion started. I remember thinking that there must be something going on behind the scenes, as the university usually reacts faster.

On the other hand, the university officially condemned the Hamas terrorist attack on October 9, which was the first business day after the attack.
> Rolling your own infrastructure is not a great idea IMO

For the start, I'd agree, but as soon as you want to do non-trivial things, I don't think that standard compiler IRs (e.g., LLVM) are a good way for binary analysis. (POV: been there, done that.) The time investment in fighting the existing IR quickly becomes larger than just writing a custom IR, which is not _that_ much effort. Running O2 optimizations sounds great in theory, but is often not too helpful in practice.

LLVM is clearly intended to provide a (not too large) set of semantics that can be mapped easily to different architectures. This is great for compilation, but not for the other direction, as even simple things like add-with-carry end up being multiple non-trivial instructions which aren't handled by existing optimization patterns. The same goes for vector instructions, where many patterns are encoded in the back-ends and not in the IR passes. So you end up writing custom passes fairly quickly, but still fight against an IR that doesn't allow you to express the things you'd like to have.

In the long run, a custom IR allows for a much more idiomatic code representation and more flexible analyses; not to mention that LLVM-IR is fairly heavy-weight and not particularly efficient. If I were to write another binary translator (I wrote Instrew/Rellume based on LLVM), I would definitely not choose LLVM.

I completely agree on the SMT part. I experimented with SMT, but standard data flow analysis suffice 90% of the time and are much more efficient and predictable.

True. I augmented the 737-800 with MAX in my head incorrectly reading the title first, corrected later on reading the article, will need to work on erasing this story from the MAX list in my head.

They wanted to trade on the wake of the 737 so badly they ruined it big for the generic audience (those paying for it by buying tickets).

I almost said they wish they did not use 737 and make a new aircraft instead but of course they give no f, not at all, top managers care about the coming year or two only, the top salary and bonuses, thats it, the rest could sink or die for them. They will go on elsewhere ruining something completely else for the rest of us. Prosper and thrive regardless of the wreck caused and others will let it without comparable consequences.
You’re conflating the tools with user errors. Photoshop, Resolve, and Blender aren’t doing it wrong because some users do it wrong. Gamma correction workflows are just prone to error, and sometimes people don’t know how to do it right. It’s not in general possible for the tool do handle it for you, the user needs to know the image’s history and sometimes has to convert between gamma encodings explicitly.

I don’t even know what you mean about Outlook and Teams, are you saying the text gamma is wrong? Or they display images wrong?

> Developers assuming that RGB is a triplet of 8-bit numbers and that maths can be naively done to those numbers is one of my favourite examples of the Dunning Kruger effect. [1]

RGB is a triplet of numbers, and you can do naive math on them, to convert to another color space for example. RGB in fact is a naive color space in the first place, not well defined, and does not have a defined gamma, so all math on RGB is de facto naive. sRGB is not RGB.

BTW, please don’t invoke Dunning Kruger snidely to suggest someone’s wrong. It’s a bad meme because DK is widely misunderstood, and suggesting someone’s an example because they’re wrong, ironically, perpetuates the misunderstanding. People making assumptions, or doing something wrong, or even being incompetent, are not examples of Dunning Kruger. People being over-confident is also not an example of Dunning Kruger: they showed in the paper that there is a positive correlation between confidence and competence for the tasks they measure. Therefore, you cannot know when something is an example of DK or not. The paper has rather poor methodology, it is full of priming and leading questions, including the title, and it went viral not because it’s right but because people love to believe the mistaken idea that someone who’s very confident might be incompetent, even though that’s not what the paper demonstrated. Also the Dunning Kruger effect probably doesn’t even exist, plus replication attempts have shown the opposite effects for more difficult tasks, like, say, engineering.

I think that we like to look at social media as a cause for problems rather than an affect that worsens said problem Personally as a young person this is 100% due to the hyper vigilance in the news and the rise of helicopter parents, also due to the fact that we are stunting teenagers development by not letting them be y'know TEENAGERS. The hyper vigilance in the news has lead to children being forced to stay inside, which in turn leads to higher social media use, which can worsen overall mental health if not used properly.

Also, I understand the concerns with self diagnosis and "mental illness is quirky" but I don't think it's just that simple, self diagnosis exists because celebrities and mainstream media has put forth mental illnesses and diagnosis as some kind of solution to sadness and minor anxieties, rather than an actual problem with somebody's mental state. Meanwhile people with actual issues have been sidelined, it's not a badge of honour in the sense but a meaningless title to those who don't actually struggle with such issues.

If they manage to produce more wattage, then it can work, ink device or something with low power usage could benefit from this. Get a texting device like blackberry that will always work, that would be epic.

I get that they are confident they can produce more power, but usually these diamond/nuclear batteries produce really small amount of power.

This is absolutely the wrong lesson to take from this debacle, especially as Musk’s own manufacturing lines are putting out complete garbage for very similar actual reasons as Boeing: excessive financialization exerting pressure on the engineering process.
> Would the author still agree with this sentiment if the activity outside of work was not pornography, but something they themselves find disagreeable? Let's say for example, participating in a KKK gathering. (not public activism, which certainly can interfere with someone in an official position) Please note that the KKK is a stand-in example rather than an actual example.

From reading other stories by that author at that same publication, I think he'd agree.

He's against cancel-culture in general, and has been writing against it for the past few stories, at least.

See also the Economist's Big Mac Index.

>> THE BIG MAC index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their “correct” level. It is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP), the notion that in the long run exchange rates should move towards the rate that would equalise the prices of an identical basket of goods and services (in this case, a burger) in any two countries.

Burgernomics was never intended as a precise gauge of currency misalignment, merely a tool to make exchange-rate theory more digestible. Yet the Big Mac index has become a global standard, included in several economic textbooks and the subject of dozens of academic studies. For those who take their fast food more seriously, we also calculate a gourmet version of the index.
So that definition you keep posting doesn't say what you're saying it says. That which is apparently not caused by one's actions might, in fact, be largely caused by one's actions. Yes, there are things that are not in your ability to control and perhaps you could call that "true luck", but even your given definition admits labeling things that can be affected by personal actions as luck.

I actually work for a guy like this now and at first I didn't quite get what he was doing, but I really like it now. He comes from a non-technical background but can code enough to be dangerous now.

He loves talking to experts in every facet of what we do, and just start from the most basic foundational questions. He has absolutely no ego about embarrassing himself by the basics of questions he asks and no shame about digging in with follow ups.

It's actually quite a powerful thing. Experts love to explain things if given the space. You also start to realize how narrow and sometimes shallow expertise is, and it lowers your own anxiety.
> WhatsApp’s U.S. rise didn’t happen by accident, though. It was part luck, timing, and strategy

WhatsApp's rise in general was a matter of luck and timing. Intl ppl needing to communicate with family (like in India) and those countries having terrible texting and WhatsApp duping them into thinking it was like texting because it uses phone numbers for account IDs, despite many other internet-based IM services being around namely FB messenger and Google. There was no need for it many areas of the west especially in North America where texting network is widespread and cheap and IM services already commonplace and covering the other needs like groups etc. WhatsApp only managed to slowly edge up due to social pressure from some of those users that started needing it for intl use, and laziness. Maybe a bit of FB-exodus from younger age categories too but the irony there being WhatsApp still owned by Meta.

It'll always just be another internet based messaging service that's nothing notable to me and the fact that it uses phone numbers as IDs is ridiculous and a red flag/deterrent.
> no turn signal necessary

You're a BMW owner by any chance?

If you're planning to turn to the left/right, use your turn signal, even if someone would deem it unnecessary. Better to use the turn signal too much than too little.

Overall, highway on-ramps looks wildly different all across the world, and what you say would be impossible in lots of places around me as an example, where you need to be able to basically stop at the on-ramp if there is too much traffic, to find the right gap, otherwise you'd run straight into others.

> We need to be teaching kids offensive driving tactics

Hard disagree :) I think Spain where I live has a huge problem with too offensive driving, where even if the rules/laws says something, people act on the "first come, first served" basis when it comes to preference.

so minimax. but state space is small. so render a table of all correct moves.
Not the Bill of Rights, either. The Declaration of Independence.

No, there's another question on abortion. Is abortion a right that anyone should have? Bluntly, is it murder, or not? If it's murder, then it's not a right that anyone should have, whether or not that inconveniences the mother.

So do you regard the fetus as human (and therefore entitled to the same protection as other humans), or not? That's not a question that you can answer by law, or by constitution. That's a religion/philosophy/worldview question, on which there is no consensus. Which is why the abortion question is such a mess.

But nothing short of resolving "is it human, or not?" is going to solve the question. If it's human, then killing it is murder, and compromise is completely unacceptable. You just don't compromise on murdering people.
A racial breakdown of the dead would be illuminating.
They want to ensure the new interpolation sequence is a compiler error in non-template strings, so that the incorrect “hi \{name}” is an error instead of silently doing the wrong thing. Using \{ accomplished this because it’s an unknown escape sequence in older Java (so forbidden there), and in new Java will have the more specific error of “yo you forgot the template processor at the start of your template”.
Chancellor isn't a real job. It's basically just a hat that you wear while being unassuming. The whole point is to be unassuming. You can't do that with an onlyfans.
If you give people freedom (good thing, right?) and tools exist to perform a task in a variety of different ways (some faster/more efficient than others) people will naturally gravitate towards using the most efficient tools to gain a competitive advantage, and other people will prefer work produced with those tools because it's better/cheaper. As long as better tools exist and people are free, this is just the way things are gonna play out.

If you're angry that independent artists are being fucked over by bigcorp, AI tools aren't the battle you should pick, because it's a guaranteed loss for a lot of very logical reasons, and it's just another example of a pattern of oppression enabled by our social and political systems. Even if by magic you managed to change something there'd just be another inequality coming down the pipe shortly after.
Definitely not! Faking that mood is one of the most difficult skills of being a good negotiator.
It takes so much time and effort though. It would really be a labor of love to take up someones abandoned piece of work thats probably got deep structural issues if the author decided to pack up and leave already.
I think Podgajski is trying to make the following argument:

Assume a standard 2-axes scatter plot, with a randomly placed horizontal line that represents chance/luck. The scattered points represent opportunities.

Any opportunity that occurs above the luck line is successful, anything below it is unsuccessful.

Above a given threshold of luck, maximizing opportunities is a good strategy because there's a high likelihood they'll pay off.

But if your luck is too low, then maximizing opportunities will still result in a larger number of successes, but at a much greater cost. A more efficient strategy might be to invest more resources in the successes you actually get.

I'm not picking a side here, just trying to bridge a potential disconnect in the discussion. Podgajski, please correct me if I've misrepresented your position
Good thing we have removable batteries in all the phones now /s
And most likely always hot.

The nuclear process can most likely not be controlled, and will just provide energy the whole day long. A small sidecar battery may hold charge for peak usage, but still the nuclear battery have to churn atoms all the time to provide the mean power. And the conversion process usually is not very efficient either (but I don't see numbers for this particular device).
No. I can close my eyes and pick anything in Costco and it will be high quality for the money.
I included it because in theory it shows that the windshield was either overdue for replacement or it wasn't an original windshield, so it's not evidence of failure on Boeing's part in the initial manufacture of the plane.

Admittedly, I don't know much about how maintenance works for these planes, so there could be something I'm missing.

> In other parts of the world, however, with functioning long-distance public transport, this aircraft will have a hard time.

Agreed, but I’d add that high functioning public transport often isn’t economical in areas of low population density or high geographical difficulty.

For example, electric planes could be really useful for hopping and the Irish Sea and the Scottish Highlands & Islands.

Theoretically bridges/tunnels with trains could do the same job but in practice the journey volumes make it hard to justify the capex required to build them.
