For me the secret is better listening. Coupled with understanding well what the person already believes.

As an explainer my job is to take you from where you are at, to where I'm at. That's not one step, it's a number of steps.

In some cases we first have to undo something you already absolutely positively know to be true, that is no longer true. Because nothing stops you learning like a false premise that collides with the new information -especially- if the truth is so ingrained its subliminal.

For example;
We have 5 senses. This is a truth we learn very early. Sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. You absolutely positively know this to be true. If I say we have 6 senses then you jump to an implication of paranormal.

I need you first to acknowledge that you know that fact to be true. Once you do I can lead you further.

Senses are just "input to the brain". (All those 5 are). The brain receives input via specialised nerves. (Again check against the 5.) Now ask yourself, are there more specialised nerve types?

Turns out, there are. And once you know that it's easy to tell you we have more senses.

Pain. Balance. Temperature. Kinesthesis. And more.

Because I understand where you are, I can explain the new information -from your point of view- , not -my- point of view.

Explaining is a journey, not a destination, and it helps if we start from the same place.

Now, did I do a good job of explaining that? :)

[and as a bonus I've let you explore further on your own, I bet you're off to Google Kinesthesis]

On other gaming boards "Ubisoft" has become a catch all phrase for describing when said game has descended into hollow unfun busywork to pad out the game / ensnare players in that hamster wheel.

Most recently FFVII Rebirth's critics have described the game as going "full Ubisoft" which definitely resonates.

I've found that while I am very susceptible to that loop of chasing loot etc a game sticks when it's mechanically fun (YMMV) which is why Monster Hunter and Souls/Elden Ring are my kryptonite. Ditto for Destiny which had quite fun gunplay

It was probably mentioned in the textbook and you just forgot. I just checked my textbook and it’s one of the first things they say when introducing mitochondria and chloroplasts.
I don’t understand how the example you discuss can be considered virtue signalling.

I was under the impression that virtue signalling was about projecting morals and ethics to make one look good. Greenwashing is one example of virtue signaling I’m aware of.

What virtue does “rich people wearing Rolexes hating on people who wear fake Rolexes even though are worse time keepers than a cheap Casio” demonstrate?
The problem with attempting to use a timeseries of historical prices to predict future ones is price is an output, not an input. It would be better to try to gather embedding data for everything and then conduct a sensitivity analysis to see what is correlated to price.
By the time someone has entered the workforce it should not be necessary to be ‘checked on’ by some surrogate parental figure.

In a functioning workplace, everyone agrees to do their work because it is part of the social contract of working on a team. They don’t need to be told what to do. If someone is falling behind, they’ll talk to other team members and work together to get back on track. You are there to help your coworkers, and they are there to help you. Someone doesn’t have to be your manager to make sure projects run smoothly; everyone can take turns in this role if they feel like it’s something they’re interested in doing and are competent in that role.

It’s only through the distorted lens of corporate ladder climbing and backstabbing departmental politics that the idea arises that you’ll just hire untrustworthy people and then beat them into submission by making a workplace into a prison.
Nuxt Parallel Routes and Modal Routes
There are multiple dimensions in the latent space that is contemporary white collar management.

One is interfacing the work of a group of people with the needs and wants of others.

Another is doing administrative things like who has done this compliance course or who needs a security authorization.

A third is allocating credit and blame to group members (aka compensation).

A fourth is ensuring that the work product itself is on track (aka technical leadership).

A fifth is ensuring that schedule commitments to other stakeholders are honored.

If you take out the third dimension (credit and blame), then even if a single person happens to do the other 4, they probably won’t feel much like what you’d call a “manager” today.

This is a long-winded way of saying that the various things a manager does can be disaggregated and either spread around the team, eliminated or given to a different person.

What do you mean? AFAICT from the article, they were a nonprofit that provided support and training for women in (or interested in) coding.

From the article:

Beyond that, she describes a "camaraderie of other women that are interested in the same things I'm interested in," and got career advice from other participants at the WWC events.

As well as networking events and speakers, she also benefitted from events geared towards learning new skills.

Seems pretty reasonable and positive. What am I missing? What's being forced?

I will point out that there's a -very- fine line between good explaining and patronising. Its hard to tread that line in written work, and easier to manage in a verbal context.

And I prefer to use the phrase "that is not completely accurate" over "you are wrong" as it gets less of a defensive reaction.

I've sort of come around on this. Yes, everything you listed is valuable and good. But the reality is all of it was built with money that came from banks and investors. The only reason to do anything scientific is to get investors to give you money. If you do something scientific that does not make people want to give you money you will impact no lives. In this way gaming financial markets is indeed the only point to doing anything ambitious at all.

ca. 300 BC, Aristippus (returning from a dinner party at the palace) passes a student of Diogenes eating lentils:

— You know, if you'd just learn to say what the King wants to hear, you wouldn't have to eat lentils.

— How about: if you'd just learn to eat lentils, you wouldn't have to say what the King wants to hear?

EDIT: unfortunately (unlike the Alexander/Diogenes story) there's insufficient overlap for Aristippus/Diogenes to be plausible; added "a student of".

> Ethics.

That's not a question.

> Is there a difference between 'belief' and 'knowledge'?

Yes. Knowledge cannot be wrong, beliefs can. A consequence of this is that true knowledge doesn't actually exist, but beliefs can become sufficiently reliable that calling them knowledge is a pretty reasonable approximation.

> Why does the universe exist?

We don't know.

> why is there something rather than nothing

That is a different question. We actually do know the answer to that: it's because "nothing" is unstable.

Yes, this is frustrating when one cares about efficiency (I do). Whether number of people or amount of budget overall, you're seen as better the more you have.

When shopping for vendors to achieve something, my instinct is to try to find a way to do more with less. But I'm told that's dumb, I need to spend all the budget and ask for more, lest I be seen as a loser.

Aren't we over the whole, 'let's tech everyone to code' fad yet?
So this is weird, I noticed my little Front-end experiment "Hyphen" that aims to blend custom elements (sorry spankalee please do not comment here, I notice you often have something negative to say about non lit-html frameworks posted on HN!!!) with good developer ergonomics (simple inline handlers, etc, read more at README), suddenly accrued 18 stars (jumping from 51 to 69).

That was not as surprising as when I went to examine the repo, I noticed "Used by 36,000 people" This is unexpected!!

I'm assuming it must be a GitHub glitch, but wow!

edit: It seems it's no glitch. 36000 projects have literally sprung up where this is used. This is fantastic! OMG it must really work. Nobody contacted me about any issues. WOW!!!

edit 2: Hahaha! :) It seems it MUST be a glitch. Likely caused by the name "-". I perused some of the projects listed in dependents and they have no mention of this framework. It's a confusion with: https://www.npmjs.com/package/-

Not Mark, but I use Racket a lot and sometimes play with Common Lisp.

CLOS is way nicer than Racket's class/OO model and how generic functions are handled. Growable/resizable arrays are sometimes nice to have.

I prefer Racket and Scheme for the most part though.
I wasn’t really kidding with my comment. I just recently used camera footage as part of an accident claim and the assessor immediately said “that wasn’t your fault, we take responsibility on behalf of the driver”.

In a few years time when (if) faking realistic footage becomes trivial, I suspect this kind of video will have a much, much higher level of scrutiny or only be accepted from certain sources such as government owned traffic cameras.

No it definitely isn't weird from a Chinese perspective, because they are a dictatorship. It's literally the first article of their constitution [1] : "The People’s Republic of China is a socialist state under the people’s democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. The socialist system is the basic system of the People’s Republic of China. Disruption of the socialist system by any organization or individual is prohibited."

China bans whatever they feel like for whatever reason they want. Another example was banning social media imagery or references to Winnie the Pooh on social media because of it being used to mock Xi Jinping in a domain they couldn't directly control otherwise. [2] Of course they were happy to still allow it in domains where they could control the messaging and use, like in books or parks. And this is, of course, one of the many reasons Chinese society isn't particularly well regarded. And this is the exact route we're going down, with the exact same outcomes.

It looks like this organization provides technical training (or collates such learning resources), facilitates professional networking, provides information on job openings, and self-perpetuates by calling for volunteer participation.

Pretty innocuous stuff as far as nonprofits go. You could find this sort of support network probably for any underrepresented demographic in any profession or context-

No idea why such an entity receives this sort of tiresome culture war pushback. This is America, there are organizations for any cause and identity. We have scholarships for left-handed people and Syrians for President Nixon pins (https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/82487/NIXON-28-NATI...). I feel like this is just a unique facet of the culture, where because individualism is so emphasized, people have to find solidarity in specific identities.
I remember we learned this about mitochondria and chloroplasts in 10th Grade Biology back in my day, but I think if I quizzed anybody I went to high school with today it would be a coin flip as to whether they remembered that as part of the lesson. I mean, it's probably a coin flip on any piece of information from when we learned about organelles, or if they even remember the word "organelle". If you quizzed me, I couldn't have told you approximately when these events happened without the article in front of me even though I'm pretty sure we covered that too.

100% of my former schoolmates would probably remember the "powerhouse of the cell" meme though.
thought as much.
The initiative you're being dismissive of is what emerged from "find out why that is and tackle _that_ problem". There are systemic barriers in place, which are being ignored because it makes the discussion uncomfortable. That's the purpose of promotional groups. They exist to point out those things and help us move past it. Forget tech for a moment and consider any other civil rights that we take for granted today that we wouldn't have x years ago.

If addressing it causes "resentment and push-back" consider reflecting on your own biases first. It is very likely the issue is there.
> men like "things", and woman like "people". It's not surprising then that there are more men in work that involves "things"

Whenever we encounter broad, overarching theories like this our brains immediately jump to things which might confirm it. Our brains love creating simple rules which explain complex phenomena.

But if we really want to understand what is true, we need to think explicitly about 1) what is the hypothesis which is being offered and 2) what counterexamples might there be to disprove it. A theory becomes stronger after withstanding counterexamples, not weaker.

So this hypothesis is that the lack of women in tech in the US is fundamentally biologically driven, rather than culturally driven. Put in this way, we should naturally ask the question, are women in all cultures as averse to computers as in American culture?

I’m with you there. That begs the question: what are the facts?

This obviously has considerable political implications since it will inevitably be intertwined with climate change. So it's not merely a scientific discussion.

No they don't. The basic data structures in Racket are listed here, https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/data.html . There are also specific array implementations in modules, like the generic array interface in the array module or arrays for math in a math module.

Recursing over a list is a way to learn how to implement for, while and friends. If you know this technique understanding for is just understanding a subset of what you are already familiar with. It can be used to iterate over an arrays as well as lists, e.g. with ranges: https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/pairs.html#%28def._%2...

Racket can also be used to teach object oriented programming and programming with structs, if the aim is to teach patterns used in C-like languages generally it's not a bad fit. Well, except advanced stuff like pointer witchery. Though you could probably implement a teaching language that does it with arrays or the byte code directly if you wanted to. It might be a good way to improve on error messages for pedagogical purposes.

>As if having male founders of all major firms is a thing to be avoided.

I don't think that's the intended read.

If women are 50% of the population, yet 0% are represented as leaders in a specific industry (which I don't think is completely true here, BTW), I don't think it's unreasonable to ask why. There must be a reason beyond sheer chance, and I think the real question being asked is whether it's an issue of opportunity or access.

So, why wouldn't we want to ensure that there are no issues with the playing field? Who does this hurt?

> So sense data are necessary but not sufficient, especially for logic.

But they are sufficient.

> it does not follow that what happened before will happen in the same way again.

Yes, that's true. It does not follow that sense data are insufficient. All that follows is that induction is not a valid mode of reasoning (which is true -- it isn't).

> The easiest way, IMO, to see why it won't work to build up human knowledge from sense data is to realize that the human knowledge system is a distributed system.

Nonsense. Distributed systems can do logic. Being distributed is completely irrelevant.

No, not at all, given the context of stock trading. Stocks do not trade the same way today as they did in 2014. Similarly there is no point in using trading data from the 1850s given that that kind of market with those kinds of traders will never ever exist again. You can only pick a few recent months or weeks to capture current trading sentiment/technique and even then everything could get blown away after the next rate hike or international incident.

Generally I don't think there is any alpha in training transformers to predict the next price point just given historical price data, because the price is determined by humans (and algorithms trained on data generated by humans) that react to news. If you can predict the news, you can probably predict stock prices, but if you could predict the future you'd have AGI and not some dingy time series calculator.

They won't all take it. In particular the shelter. You can force them to suddenly be domestic or to live under someone else's rules.

That's the hard part. Many of them positively take actions that make themselves suffer. Drug use in particular. If you've ever had a schizophrenic family member you know precisely this pain.

Arctan(friction coefficient) gets you the "friction angle", which is a meaningful angle to know in a lot of physical systems. For example, it tells you how steep of an angled surface your object can rest on before it starts sliding downhill.

In this case, it sounds like the friction angle is important because it's the angle at which the reaction force is being applied to the unicycle by the road. (The normal force and friction force components make a right triangle with the resultant force, and their ratio - the friction coefficient - is by definition the tangent of that angle). I know nothing specific about unicycles, but it sounds like they're saying the rider needs to lean back so that the "shaft" between the seat and the axle is oriented along that line of force or else the system will become unstable.
