They must be doing it intentionally to infuriate you (the only cocky in Oz with sufficient snags for the barbie).
That mindset frustrated me a lot in university. My school required a pretty broad survey of academia, with a class each in lower and upper division math, science, history, philosophy, and theology to graduate, and there were a lot of students (especially, for whatever reason, engineers) who hated it.

To a t, these people were dullards. They rarely had deep knowledge about anything, most of the time not even about the field they professed such dedication to. The entire point of an undergraduate education is to establish a foundation of baseline knowledge to allow you to contextualize new information, and if you don't engage with it, there's not a lot of opportunities to make up for it later.
Then explain to us how they game it? The test is blind. You don't know which models give the answer. If you trick them into disclosing their name, it is discarded right away and doesn't count towards the score.

Genuine question, because as far as I know there is no feasible way to game this score. But if there is, I want to know.

When I look at modern PC's, I see a bunch of black rectangles with see through panels and enough rainbow LEDs to light up a strip club. It feels like the 90's beige box epidemic.

Other than the iMac, no one seems to be making computers fun to look at any more. There's no color, no shapes. It's all black and silver like an ocean of Honda accords. The same goes for smartphones, flip flop sized slabs that you throw away every 3 years.

Language designers try to avoid adding new keywords if at all possible, especially ones that are short and common. Doing so requires either breaking thousands of projects and APIs or adding a bunch of complexity to the grammar and syntax highlighting tooling (so threw is only a keyword in some contexts but not others).

As someone who's met the clinical criteria for MDD at various points but later discovered the cause lied in a severely traumatic upbringing, I'm not sure about pushing TMS on folks when the state of psychiatric care is so poor. Were I the client going thru this treatment, I might have a psychiatrist say I'm a great candidate for effectiveness, but it wouldn't treat the actual underlying causes and may expose me to harm potentially. I am very glad I decided against taking that route.

TMS has a lot of side effects (Seizures, cognitive effects, permanent increases in auditory threshold, tinnitus, headaches) and the overall neurological mechanisms are not, to my knowledge, well known - my interpretation is that its a bit like degaussing a brain. If you have secret sauce, its in studies that aren't public. Assuming its based around studies like this: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01651...

Is it a viable GTM strategy? Maybe - but you may find yourself having every incentive to hype up a procedure that may cause harm, even if legal, which seems like an ethical minefield if not a significant source of liability. If the effects of TMS across the whole nervous system were more well known and side effects could be more easily predicted, perhaps that would be another story.

"tiny minority of philosophers who are actually scientists"

Aren't you just re-categorizing to fit what you want.

Can't I say the same thing.

To be fair and accurate, they changed the line from "don't do evil" to (paraphrasing) "Googlers shouldn't don't be evil". Putting the responsibility onto the employee from a central core principle of the organisation.

No, this is an incorrect assessment. You have framed it as post hoc, but the point is that the philosophy is the development of ideas like, say, atomic theory in chemistry, or germ theory in medicine. Theories that define the framework for study.

New sciences happen very infrequently, but they happen, and when they do, they are typically created in philosophy departments. Computer science is the most recent, which came in large part from philosophy departments. Before that was psychology.

Alchemy is exactly a framework-free type of empiricism. The point of philosophy, and philosophy that happens in other sciences, is that we live inside of a model, and we interact with that model, and change the model while we are doing empirical research using the rules of the model. This is a type of reflexive framework development, where metaphysical ideas become obvious physics as people propose changes to the standard model we use.

This dance between induction and deduction is exactly the field of philosophy.
Work is hard. We've made it this far, might as well keep going. There is always going to be a cohort of humans interested in solving what seems impossible, no?
Bad link, here's the story:

https://www.fidelity.com/news/article/top-news/202404191346R...

And here's the explanation:

The announcement comes after the U.S. National Labor Relations Board in January ruled that Google was a so-called "joint employer" of workers provided by staffing firm Cognizant Technology Solutions ( CTSH ) and must bargain with their union. Google is appealing that decision.

So in negotiating for better compensation for employees of its suppliers, Google was somehow taking legal responsibility for them as well. That seems like a perverse incentive.
Length contraction and time dilation are words that describe changes that are the consequence of a Lorentz transformation.

Like I have said, the formulae of a Lorentz transformation are defined only when the relative velocity between the two systems is less than the speed of light.

Attempting to pass to a limit when the relative speed approaches the speed of light does not produce any useful result, because at the limit you no longer obtain a reference system, so you no longer get a transformation between reference systems.

Without a reference system, there is no meaning for the concepts of distance and time.

Any reference system for the 4-dimensional space-time must be attached to normal matter made of leptons and quarks, it cannot be attached to photons. In any reference system for the 4-dimensional space-time, the photons are particles that move with equal speeds in space and in time, while the normal matter moves faster in time than in space. The notion of proper time (i.e. the time measured for an object that moves only in time, without moving in space) is not defined for photons, because they always also move in space, not only in time.

This should be obvious from the rule introduced by Einstein that the speed of light is the same in all possible reference systems, from which the Lorentz transformations can be deduced. If a reference system were attached to a photon, in that reference system the speed of light could not have the same value as in the normal reference systems, so within Einstein's theory such a reference system cannot exist.
> Strong agree. Concept sounds great. The UI looks like something out of 2005 and that's just not okay.

Wow, I've had this exact experience, as well! Two or three bad ones, with all the rest consisting of:

- a slight odd taste (this is my "early warning sign"),
- then the vision loss (which is so hard to describe, because the missing portion doesn't become black/white/blurry/etc, it's just gone),
- and sometimes the tingling fingers.

The worst one, which happened while I was in Spanish class at school, began with those symptoms, but then I noticed I couldn't understand the Spanish instructions on the worksheet we'd just been given, even though I'm usually good with languages. I went to read the English "cheater" instructions on the other side, and my ability to read & understand English drained away while I was in the middle of reading. I felt that something was very wrong at that point, and stood up to tell my teacher that I needed to go to the nurse, but as soon as I stood up, I realized I no longer knew how to transfer my thought into my teacher's mind (not only the ability, but even the concept of spoken language had vanished!) ...So I just sat back down and waited it out.

It is quite the experience...
> But that's not what you asked, and it's not what I claimed. I didn't say that philosophy is entirely devoid of value, only that a lot of it is.

You claimed you can empirically observe "that the most effective method for expanding human knowledge is science", which I think requires you to observe the efficacy of all methods of expanding human knowledge.

Regarding ethics, empirically gathering what people's ethical opinions are is surveying. This is distinct from knowledge about ethical systems. For example, preference utilitarianism sets the stage for social choice theory, in which theorems tell us about the properties and weaknesses of systems for groups of agents to collectively make choices (Arrow's theorem, Harsanyi's theorem etc).

> Really? How do you know what the word "integer" means without making any observations of the world?

I know the English word "integer" through interaction with the world; this does not mean that true properties of addition are "empirical" truths proceeding from science.
You're right, but with Neptune, they were able to empirically verify that: oh, there's a planet there. Here's they've made the calculations because those (afaik) fit in the current model and they've concluded: oh, there's (most likely) a planet there.

They are only half way there (afaik, but I could have misunderstood their point)
Just like we shouldn't study history, because it is in the past?
Sure, and if you actually want a branchless integer division for an arbitrary input, which is defined for the entire input domain on x64, then to get it you'll have to pull some trick like reinterpreting a zeroable type as a nonzero one, heading straight through LLVM IR UB on your way to the defined behavior on x64.
The English/British and their media are not as jarringly foreign as Americans, because Australian culture and language diverged from English culture much later than American did.

There's also 5x fewer of them, so they are less of a threat to our minority culture than Americans are - Americans don't realise just how dominant American English is in the Anglosphere and how hard it is to resist.

Isn't it a meaningless question? Photons aren't things, but loosely localized areas of motion energy that's temporarily assumed the shape of a photon. Upon collision with other similar waves, it may change shape and become another partickey like an electron. But the light itself is a motion itself, which is a pure abstraction. At the end of the universe, photons probably will keep spreading over larger and larger areas, slowly turning into a uniform sea of that pure motion.
Longer names are harder to read. Think about any math formula. Does energy=mass * math::powerf(speed_of_light, 2) read more fluently?
Context matters. Make sure the context is ways clear and code is written there where it belongs. Then names can be shorter while being readable.
"Given the benefit of hindsight, I sure would!"

Gee good point.

How confident are you that you not hearing about such a failure means they haven't happened? How confident are you that this is the only component that's been hacked together like this?
Human thought processes determine programming language syntax, because that's why it exists. Encapsulation of context is a requirement for human understanding. OOP is just a trivial way to encapsulate, and represent that encapsulation. You can get rid of OOP, but the user interface/syntax for whatever will end up being mostly indistinguishable from OOP.

I would claim that the bigger problem is people try to encapsulate things that shouldn't be.

How relevant are Context Free grammars for modern programming languages? It seems that most modern languages want things like “raw strings” where you can deal with arbitrary strings by using syntax like (Rust) `r###` (however many `#` you need). It is my understanding that syntax like that makes these grammars fall outside of Context Free, no?
With no disrespect to the other three, Dennett always struck me as the most serious and intellectually modest of the Four Horsemen. He mostly stuck to his own lane of academic expertise, and used the proper caveats when venturing out of it. He didn't lean on rhetorical flourish, strawman his opponents, or overstate his case. The other three are a lot of fun, but maybe there's something to be said for boring.

He spoke at my college once, and came off as nuanced and considerate. I think I disagree with him about consciousness, but I'm not informed enough to know for sure. What's clear is that he was a constructive part of the conversation in his field.
DMA compliance is only hard because it gets in the way of Apple’s scummy business model.

• Or is it that one of the developers works at Microsoft? (which, unless they are Satya Nadella, shouldn’t matter)

• Or is it that their (not so anonymous) telemetry tells them that someone is using the editor from a Microsoft-owned IP address?

• Or are the company logos simply there to mislead potential new users into thinking those companies actually trust the developer(s)?

Unfortunately, there's not a livable version of society where we "ban" gambling. Doing so just pushes it underground, and therefore inevitably into the hands of some kind of organized crime. I imagine the best compromise would be to create a state monopoly and make it easily (but not universally) available, while also trying to push some social stigma against it. Unfortunately for harmful vices like this, the anglosphere (and I assume a lot of other places) tends to oscillate between prohibition and hands-off marketism.

We are seeing similar with sports betting and marijuana in the US. Less than ten years ago, these were major crimes basically everywhere. Now, in large swaths of the country, you can't drive a mile without seeing a billboard for one or the other. Making them illegal again is not the answer, but we don't seem to have a standard way of shading things like this in any meaningful way.

(By the way, I'm not against people smoking a little weed or betting on football, but plenty of people do get momentum with both and it can have harmful effects for them. I believe the industries pushing both behaviors are in large part profiting off this small group of heavy "users". )
