It's fascinating how much of this there is about. It gets worse when people don't realize there's other ways of looking at things. You'll note there's a whole social movement based around what its proponents refer to as "primary school biology". The idea that primary schools might be teaching a simplified version just doesn't come up.

I once had the honour of talking to Chris Zeeman down a pub. He asked me what I was studying, and I said Newtonian dynamics. This began a solid rant about how he thought it was taught all wrong and by the time we were at university we should be taught about the principle of least action as that would stand us in much better stead as we moved onto more sophisticated versions of physics.
Certainly a bit disappointing that Lottie or SVG format export doesn't exist. Hopefully a work in progress?
You will inevitably trigger a loss of trust - your kids will know that there are things you will lie to them about, as you are indeed lying to them to support a cultural norm.

I suggest it is better not to lie - why bring deceit into that relationship? - but keep the idea of Santa, if you like.
except that they don't enforce much rules when it comes to food. Two examples are fish and olive oil... you probably will never know if you got what you paid for... They just don't inspect. It's probably a bigger problem for fish, because you can get fish that taste about the same but is full of mercury or other toxins.
It helps to give power to people who care about doing the right thing, instead of to people who don't care. Democracy tends towards the former, but capitalism tends towards the latter.
> And Microsoft and Google both stopped their extortionate egress fees thanks to EU

Do you have a source? I only read articles about them stopping these egress fees if you terminate your account shortly afterwards. That kind of big-bang migration is difficult to pull off.

And doesn't address the main problem with extortionate egress fees, that you can't use different providers for different services while transferring large amounts of data between them.
Yes, in the laptop and one-off case, that's true.

In a data center it's not (this is when I use clonezilla 99.9% of the time, tbf).
That second graph reminds me of Shepard tones [1], known e.g. from the Super Mario 64 staircase, where each component is steadily rising in pitch, yet the tone as a whole stays exactly the same in the long term.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I led the Chrome Infrastructure Security Team hardening for insider risk and generally defending against APTs for the last 3 years at Google. Before that, I was on the Payments Security Team defending PII and SPII data up and down the stack. Indeed, I and the company take this very seriously. We're racing as fast as we can to defend against the run-of-the-mill opportunistic attackers but also APTs. We've ramped the securtiy team over the last year from 4 to 35 people. I'm still hiring, though!

If you have 1000 points and want to preserve their squared distances to within an error of 1%, the Johnson-Lindenstrauss construction suggests an embedding dimension of 8(ln 1000)/(0.01²) > 552620. If your points start out in a lower-dimensional space than that to begin with, it's obviously pointless.

The crossover point where the number of dimensions falls below the number of points is at 1113868. If you're willing to tolerate 10% error, it's at 7094.

Claude Shannon had something to say about this as I recall.

The difference is that the squiggles appear on your keyboard. If you use modern language to construct a variable name, the name can be suggestive of what it is to someone already fluent in natural language. Multi-character names also reduce collisions -- there are only so many Greek letters. And then the research paper doesn't show an inscrutable glyph as a JPEG that you can't even copy and paste into a search engine if you don't already know what it represents.

It depends on your position and on the company. There are situations where you can have impact, in which case you should definitely use that. There have been plenty of cases where employees did seriously change corporate policies, but that's usually either in small companies or in companies where employees band together. And often the only impact you can have is to quit and take your skills to a more responsible company.
I've found (in <200~ employee companies) well structured exit interviews to be the best way to change a company from within. What better way to express your disapproval than by severing ties?
I love to see such progress, brought by nvme-over-tcp and systemd!

Not so many years ago doing something similar (exporting a block device over network, and mounting it from another host) would have meant messing with iscsi which is a very cumbersome thing to do (and quite hard to master).

According to Accelerated Expertise, it is even actively harmful, depending on goals. A lie-to-children can later be used by the student as a "knowledge shield" to reject evidence that their understanding is wrong.

Of course, if one does not expect any further learning in the field, a lie to children may be acceptable.

I have the same experience in a psychology faculty. I helped a PhD student who was working on some MATLAB code. The amount of code I had to write for something similar as they were doing was orders of magnitude lower, and faster to write. But they spent months hurting their brains and therefor thought they were doing something really smart. There was a lot of micromanagement of clueless researchers, and the consequence is that everything had to be done the exact same way as the more experienced members of the lab did previously. This was the most wasteful work organization I've seen in my life, but there was little awareness of it, compared to other state-subsidized projects.
Don't know anything about this guy, so just speculating, but I can easily see having a self-destructing behaviour being correlated with becoming a whistleblower since it is usually done at great personal expenses.
I hated chemistry in high school. It did not make sense. It was hand-wavy and incomplete and lacked foundations. It got to the point where I consciously stopped doing work and learning, and began failing tests.

Thankfully, my teacher noticed. She had a conversation with me, and I shared my frustration. She was direct and said something to the effect: "This won't make sense right now. There are a bunch of other things you'll need to learn before you have the tools for this to make sense. But you still should learn it, as it is one of the things that you will need to everything to make sense."

It was the relief I needed. The way she explained the approach, acknowledged that it won't just yet make sense, but also outlined the way forward, gave me what I needed to resume learning chemistry. I did alright in the end.

Just now I realized she was talking about "lie to children."

As an aside, this is what good teachers are made of. Thank you Dr. Roberts.
Well, evolution doesn't care anyway if there's a human - much less a humane human, it's indeed a "cold ruthless inhumane process". Evolutionarily speaking we could be replaced by cockroaches in a heartbeat if the conditions arise
This looks really well done! I was able to create a simple animation easily even though I don't know anything about animation software.

By the way, your "Features" page is really well made. I would showcase those features on the homepage. I didn't find the list of features until I clicked the link in one of your comments on HN.

You can also make your project more appealing on the homepage by including a looping demo animation (to see what's possible) and a screenshot of the tool.

Best of luck with the project!
Actually, it will have the opposite effect, at least in the short term.

People who own high value assets (everything from land to the AI) will continue to own them and there will be no opportunities for people to earn their way up (because they can be replaced by AI).

Possibly, but it would be by our species (those who own and control the AI) rather than by the AI.

I always check whether my flight is on a Boeing and tend to avoid them—better safe than sorry! Fortunately, in Europe, most carriers primarily use Airbus, which simplifies things. Essentially, it boils down to avoiding Ryanair, and there are plenty of other good reasons for avoiding Ryanair.
It is a whole package that creates a different experience. And customers are not one thing. There are different stuff that different groups may prioritise, and not all care about "better screen". For example, people may go for lower resolution screens because they prioritise batteries. And cameras nowadays are much more than purely hardware. Having better processing hardware and OS results in a phone that can last better and longer for instance, and this is a strength of iphones.

One quick comment: I was threatened and on the brink of being sued by one of Facebook's bigger law firms, because my domain was called "***gram.com" — I went through a couple of calls with them, and they confirmed that the only issue was the use of the word "gram". I tried to stick to my guns, knowing they had nothing (legally) on me, but eventually had to give in once they told me to research the ongoing cases they have with all the other domain owners (which you can all find online). Some of which have been going through lawyer-warfare for over three years (at the time). They basically said, if I have the power to sustain this, they would sue and we'll clear this in court, if I don't want to go through this, I should back off and use a different domain.

So, while I hate saying this, be warned, I was warned and ignored it, and eventually, no matter how tall you feel, that call may come quicker than you think. Keep a second domain around ready to go, make sure you can rebrand. Just my word of (super sad) advice.

Looks great though!
Exactly. On a bigger scale, the time wasted by people redoing the formatting because it isn't pasted by default would outweigh that wasted by people writing blog posts about having to remove it.

And if they're that animated by it, they're are likely the sort of user that would look for a solution and change the default or learn how to paste in their software of choice without formatting.
Will you say the same for Paris, London, Rome, Milan, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Beijing, Tokyo, Hongkong, Singapore, and Seoul? All of those cities (and more!) fit this template: "X is expensive and overcrowded." Yeah, and they have lots of interesting culture so people want to visit. They are willing to pay the high prices and put up with crowds.
I’ve not looked at the tool, but are animations driven by CSS, and if so do you embed the CSS into the SVG?

You can also ask how do we know that the laws of physics haven't changed over time. We don't. But at some point you have to make a few basic assumptions in order to have any hope of making scientific progress.
The difference is that you break down software into smaller and smaller bits and then find a small bit that needs data from a far away small bit. I suspect this happens less with mechanical systems.

I don't know what problem you have with your life, but these people are not slaves. And having to pay 4-5€ just to get your pizza delivered will mean what? Yes, most people don't want to get pizza delivered anymore, putting those people and the pizza places out of work. Then what?

They come to the big cities just for the weekend and leave with more money than I make in a month. But yes, they need protection from the big bad uber by cutting into their pay. Get informed dude.

I agree, this is also going to get much worse. I recently dipped back into some of the younger SaaS communities (Twitter is particularly crazy) and it's just madness. They make something, (ab)use anything they can find to push this in front of people and promote it, and if it doesn't throw cash within the minute, it will be left for dead. I'd even argue that some of these tools have a lifetime of a month or less. With AI, this is typically the moment when they run out of their first OpenAI top up and start to abandon.

The parent's model is more consistent if one thinks in terms of "abstractions" rather than "simplifications".

As a matter of fact, I'm a big proponent of "abstraction-based" model of parenting/education - one presents to children complex/multi-layered topics, and children will absorb the layer they're able to understand, and ignore the deeper layers. sexuality is the one of the most obvious topics.

This approach is not entirely obvious, as some will typically say "children won't be able to understand the topic"; the problem with this argument is that complex/multi-layered topics are not all-or-nothing.

In the case of the colors, I'd argue that an abstraction of the colour palette would be "three colors and their mixes" rather than "grayscale".
Well done for shipping! I'm really impressed by the tool - it's intuitive and like a very light-weight After Effects.

Yes, the "drifting" component you speak of is called the peculiar velocity. It's responsible for the "finger of god" effect if we don't account for it (galaxies appear to be aligned along the line of sight of the observer) and becomes negligible at large enough distances. I guess technically it's hard to differentiate because it's usually random, but it enters the error analysis and is accounted for.
The title is correct. Teaching kids that electrons orbit around a nucleus like a planet around the sun is a lie. It’s not even a rough simplification. We’ve known this for around a century. Yet that was the model I learned in high school, let alone grade school.

I hated school precisely because there was no mystery. Everything was known. It wasn’t till later that I found out many of the models taught on the blackboard were lies.

Even most of history class; Columbus should have died on his voyage, because it was known at the time that his calculations for the size of the Earth was wrong, but this is rarely mentioned. Same for the lie that the other types of protohumans died out because "they were worse at using tools" rather than because we brutally murdered them. The latter is a nice example of an uncomfortable idea that we deliberately lie to kids about so that they don’t have to know.

At $work, the standard solution to ASAN reporting use-after-free issues is to... not run ASAN builds. The fact that builds in CI exhibit random inexplicable crashes regularly every week doesn’t seem to make anyone have any second thoughts. A colleague once claimed that there is nothing wrong with out-of-bounds accesses as long as we don’t crash. The same bunch is also religiously opposed to using debuggers and regularly break debugger builds by removing debug information from builds at multiple levels, blocking ptrace debugging in system images through sysctl... This is all so toxic.

This talk about the "rate of time" doesn't make any sense to me. A second takes one second, and always has.
