Okay, sure. But TFA isn’t about Lewis not condemning the Guilty and Bad SBF, it’s about Lewis falling short on his own terms.

> Lewis paints a portrait of Sam as singularly motivated by doing the EV-maximizing thing despite the social and emotional costs inflicted on others. But the real Sam in this story is not taking a hit to his reputation in order to maximize expectancy; he’s carelessly burning expectancy in the process of cultivating a reputation for punishing and humiliating his competition.

The “blind side” is that we don’t get the full illustration of SBF’s character, because it’s filtered through Lewis’s credulous reporting, lack of access to certain key players, and limited attention to the financial details of what was going on. This is particularly disappointing because these are precisely the things that Lewis is known for doing so well.

The article made it such. I'm actually echoing what Rand Paul raises as an issue in the article.

I also want to make it clear I am not arguing against disaster preparedness. Every one/family should be prepared and that likely includes a hand cranked multiband radio and flashlight. Being prepared and mandating am radio in every car seems like two very different things. I carry a first aid kit in my truck and when I am out working the ranch a shotgun. I dont think we should mandate every car come with a first aid kit let alone a firearm.
A traditional sliding deadbolt[1], which cannot be locked while the door is open since the tongue will prevent the door from closing completely, takes very little force to operate (for those arguing that this overly complex design is "because accessibility"), and can be combined with a switch to prevent the power operated mechanism from attempting to move the door if the lock isn't all the way open (i.e. the switch actuates before the tongue protrudes.)

But in this case they clearly attempted to complicate things as much as possible, so no surprise that additional edge-case bugs and points of failure were also introduced.

Why do you cook pasta with the sauce?
Bash not so much, Ksh93 will do this, playing with has been a recent toy project. Typeset -b to specify a binary variable, rean -n/-N and print -v.

It can be really quit surprisingly fast too, 4GB/sec reading /dev/zero writing /dev/null. ( yes 40gbit/sec, binary copies, in a shell script!!! ). 2-3GB copying real data.

Oh boy but the edge cases and quirks.. there are so many reasons why this is a bad way to do things..

Curiously, I double the speed bu unsetting and recreating the buffer variable for each op. There also seems to be cases where ksh will buffer reads from a pipe to allow limited seeks, but also if you do a read -N from a pipe with too large a size (>8k I think, I'd have to check) and that read can't be completed because the source finished writing less than that, then that data is gone. Less than 8k, you can still read it with a subsequent read -n.

Probably the most actually useful thing I learned was that by ksh93 creates its pipes with unix sockets, not pipes, which means the buffer size is set by /proc/sys/net/core/[w|r]mem_default, rather than a fcntl call. That makes it easier to tweak from a script, and also makes ksh pipes faster by default for many streams, compared to most other shells ( depending on block sizes, and the difference goes away if you tweak up the pipe buffer size )

Don't get me wrong, not something I'd use in real life, but it was fun anyway.
Semi-relatedly, the best "digital candle" app I ever found was one that just drew an orange rectangle in the center of an otherwise black screen, and animated its scale randomly. This convincingly modulates the brightness of the display.
"Georgia" is based on the Persian name of the country, and its similarity to the name of the US state is coincidental. For some reason, the Persian name became more popular around the world than the native Sakartvelo. Or the Greek "Iberia", which shares its etymology with "Georgia".

Eh, it's not that such measures don't exist - they're just noisy.

There are billions of shades of grey, like, for example, living like before the 2000’s, when the massive production of plastic crap in China produced pollution levels to skyrocket.

It would be standard mod practice to replace https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2024/01/i-used-to-not-worr... with a link to the video, since the blog post is just a thin wrapper around it. As the HN guidelines say, "If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

Why the wrong video made it in, I don't know, but most likely it was a simple copy-paste error. Sorry, all!

It uses python so I’m a bit concerned about speed. Are there any benchmarks for how fast this is if I want to use it for a real time application?
> There are no jobs for me; even for positions that totally align with my skills, the employers express no interest.

I often wonder who they have working there and applying that is so much better than me they won’t grant me an interview. I’ve always been a top performer so it’s really quite puzzling.
> Masking the problem will only make it come back harder when measures don't scale up anymore.

If (e.g.) China stops the US can start, or if a small country can't scale up enough more countries can join in. The whole "termination shock" thing is highly overrated, it's solvable with next to no communication at all. Decision rule: if not enough is being sprayed according to your models, make up the difference yourself.
> IQ is a test, it isnt intelligence and isnt even a measure of intelligence.

Are you sure about that? If I find someone that we all agree is “pretty damn smart” and they regularly score 115+ and we find someone that we all agree is “not very smart at all” and they regularly score < 90. And we repeat that dozens of times, it seems like the IQ test is a measure of intelligence.

It may be imperfect, and pretty clearly does not have three significant digits of precision, but it seems it’s still a measure of the thing we’re trying to estimate, same as a set of mixed stones and a playground seesaw can provide a comparative measure of weight.
We read the same article. I interpret less reaction to rewards as being more appreciative. It’s deep, but hear me out. Less reaction means they (and myself included once) have the same expectation as the ones giving the reward, it being an equilibrium. Because the rewards match the expectation over a longer period of time, that’s why they (again, from personal experience) stay hungry for a longer period of time. It will take much longer for a smart poor person to really think they’ve made it to the other side permanently.
The subtext here is that OP may not have been qualifies on paper, but nobody else was either (indeed, in a world where “grown-ups” are unnecessary, it may have been looked at as a positive)
Cooperative multitasking means the chances of pulling anything off without completely crashing or hanging it is slim.
From that viewpoint, it's better to overhire when other companies are hiring and do layoffs when other companies are doing layoffs vs. just hiring the right number of people in the first place.

Which is completely insane, and is both terrible to workers and leads to more recessions.

How do we get investors to value companies making correct calls over just following the industry?
Given how Cloudflare works I imagine that there are alternative services offering the same thing.

Probably not as cheap. AWS can put a WAF and CDN infront of your site too.

And migrating from one service to another isn't much more work than moving DNS records.

Just saying, it's not the same level of vendor lockin as using dynamodb or whatever.

Anyone got any idea to use them besides small flashlights? They also have a pressure sensor on the LED and a nice metal case pretty often.

I found myself thinking this about a lot of his comments, TBH. I've seen cars with horrible Android Auto implementations. I've got cars with far worse lane centering, and that chatter about seat belts even more aggressively.

The Tesla UI is actually pretty amazing in a number of areas. Few EVs match it with regards to seamless navigation. The auto wipers are bad, but, TBH, I've had phantom wipes in other cars too. The auto high beams are not perfect, but again, they are better than my reference Nissan. :)

Auto climate doesn't work for everyone, but for me, it has been almost magical. Cabin overheat protection is spectacular in the southeast. Maybe it doesn't matter as much wherever Lessig lives.

I guess I'm saying, they are far from perfect, but there are really no other cars at the same price point that I'd pick over them right now.

Probably part of why Apple's car keeps getting delayed is because building a product that actually is significantly better really is far from easy. I don't doubt that Apple can achieve that, if they release one. I thought that about Dyson too, but they cancelled their product.

If you're on AWS the AWS WAF is pretty low cost. You can expect to pay less than $10 / month and still get an ok amount of value on a decently popular site.

The problem is you have to manually configure a lot, the rate limiting aspect is way worse than Cloudflare and while the AWS WAF can geolocate an IP address and block by country it does not send the country code back to you in a header where as Cloudflare does. The last one stings because it's super handy to have an accurate country code attached to each request, especially if it's something you don't need to think about or waste I/O time calling out to a 3rd party service in the background to backfill in that data later.
Sometimes making something a one-liner is itself a benefit for readability. Especially if you’re used to reading it. But admittedly it’s very easy (and can be tempting) to take it too far…

My opinion is to have neither. Requiring users to switch to an account that has different privileges is evidence of poor design of the operating system. Having a root user who has full privileges over the entire system is also poor design as it is the opposite of the principle of least privilege. If a user has the privilege to do something they should be able to do it with their normal account.

First, WINE = Wine Is Not an Emulator. And it's not an emulator, the PE code runs directly on the host CPU. All you really need to implement is the OS API (on Windows the official API is with DLLs, such as KERNEL32.DLL, which in turn issue syscalls, and you're not generally supposed to do syscalls yourself).

Second, it runs 32 bit and even 64 bit too.

> You live in a country that is either 11 million or 6 million people with fully enforceable border controls and immigration controls.

It's the opposite, actually. Denmark is a part of Shengen zone, which means it has no border controls at all. When you enter neighboring country, you'll only know this because a sign on the road will tell you so. Similarly, migrants are free to roam entire Shengen zone and get in and out of Denmark as they please (unless emergency measures are introduced to stop them).

There’s no reason you can’t flush in a station - modern trains don’t just drop onto the track (and people have to work on the track, so the station is just a PR thing to avoid offending passengers)

In the U.K. any train from the last 30 years fills a tank, like an RV, including ones with physical locks.

I loved this feature on my flashlight and used it exclusively on candle mode. There's a lot of thought that goes into it like PWM speed or direct drive for LEDs that may or may not cause flickering and a tradeoff between battery life and the electronics available.

Er, sure, if you can define some objective measures of performance that are taken to be symptomatic of intelligence and correlate those with IQ test results -- and then show test-retest validity across a wide population (etc. etc.), then you'd have a case.

But all attempts to do this, i'm aware of, show in fact IQ tests don't behave this way. That all correlation with objective measures of performs, with reliable measures, end up random >100 -- and weakly non-random <100.

So what we, in fact find, is that IQ tests only reliably correlate in the 'mental retardation' region of performance.

There is, possibly, a sort of non-objective culturally feeling to the kinds of people who might do well on IQ tests. Call these personalities, "puzzler bureaucrats" it isnt clear that even for people in this population we're percing any sort of objective intelligence-related performance.

Eg., suppose we had an objective measure of intelligence based on a deep causal model of the brain and how it interacts with body/environment. Suppose we found out that a population who score 100-110 on IQ tests were vastly more intelligent than another scoring 120-130.

Now, could we find independent measures of performance to substantiate that? Yes, trivially. Take, eg., a group of CEOs and a group of maths undergrads. The former, could by supposition, have a much higher performance on a variety of objective measures.

I would say 10k/1k+ is too much for pocket. I prefer bookmark managers that have a dual folder/tag system. I try to take advantage of this duality in my taxonomy choices: hierarchical folders are at the base, with tags as more "lateral" descriptors.

It would seem that preventing local production and extraction for political reasons, would be a mistake. It would also seem that preventing pipelines would be too.

This makes sense. People are trying to stop a thing, via 100 paper cuts, instead of just stopping it. Meanwhile, this results in suboptimal production, which inceeases pollution.
Coding in my hobby projects alleviate burnout for me in much the same way mediation, or just relaxing with my family does. It's a way to switch focus to something soothing.

There are time when I'm too mentally exhausted to focus on coding at all, but most "burnout" is not that for me, but increasing feelings of resistance against working on something specific. Sure, it can sometimes rise to a level where it expands and you shut down and don't feel like doing much of anything, but to me those hobby projects feel like they help avoid that.

Not so: as AI systems learn from human behaviour, being abusive towards them risks that they are learning from this interaction to be abusive to humans.

This does not require the AI to have consciousness or sentience, regardless of which of the many, many available definitions of those words you prefer to use.

But I hope there's a way I can continue to run the radio without mysb, which is currently not entirely clear.
