I've worked in both sorts of companies. The constant questioning may work well at smaller scale but kills productivity at larger scales. Putting aside that it inevitably becomes a political exercise as much as a technical one (because the different technical solutions almost always reflect competing priorities), it also requires perfect sharing of information across the organization, which does not scale.

Especially in any sales driven organization, I've seen it cause issues with infra teams questioning the need for certain features. Meanwhile, the answer is that the features are necessary because someone is willing to pay $$$ for them.
The last specific silicon design tool I used was Electric, nearly 2 decades ago. It was a usability Superfund site, but I've also had to deal with things like Cadence since and my general impression of these "super-pro" tools in specific spaces (ok, well Electric isnt that) is that usability and stability is completely dreadful. Like, I'd probably Maybe they're powerful when you know exactly how to use them, and their quirks are burned into seasoned engineers' muscle memory, but if you're not living and breathing them with a greybeard to explain their vicissitudes, you're going to have a frustrating experience.

Once wonders what the software that drives the floor in places like TSMC (and if anything is worse than design tools, it's internal industrial control software) is like and how well it can be transplanted to a new workforce.
No, your response is not scientific. The default, rational assumption is that the brain works through normal physical processes.

In order for free will to exist there would need to be some force outside of normal physics that influences the physical world.

No evidence for this force of nature exists. And, at a high level, this is no different from other quackery like psychics, witchcraft and other similar nonsense where people insist that their minds can influence the physical world beyond normal physics.
They want a good soldier who pretends to be an independent thinker not an independent thinker who pretends to be a good soldier.

You can see this from the advice given to people looking to game interviews. Also from the lack of interview success for those who don't game interviews.
From 0 to 500 stars: Logdy GitHub journey in 3 months
Because outside of the rare entrepreneurs who make 50k a month working 5 hours a week, there are a lot who worked 90 hour weeks sometimes not even being able to pay themselves. Yes maybe at one point they wanted to wear many hats and venture out. But that isn't a sustainable lifestyle for everyone. To think that person couldn't develop an appreciation for a supportive environment with PTO, the ability to focus on a limited number of tasks, stable pay, stable work hours and other team members they can depend on is a very limited viewpoint imo.

I don't necessarily think that math is where this critique is the strongest. As you say, this happens most in political arguments, and this critique is strongest when talking about history books. I listened to a rant about this once and I think it is adjacent enough to be relevant as a critique here:

While I attended a church in a different state, the Sunday school teacher decided to get on a talking point aka rant about how history books are going to be changed via an opaque technology process to save kids backs from heavy textbooks and this was the BIG BAD. The entire topic kinda blindsided me at the time as I was leaning toward khan academy and other progressive teaching techniques at the time. (Still do, but i have had a number of bad experiences with subscription models for knowledge that is a prerequisite for certain jobs).

I bet that math textbooks are the more exact science, so it will probably pass over well, but some people (conservatives who don't trust change) will probably mount resistance if not addressed.

I just wanted to say that there are two sides (monetary incentives) to the question "should we adopt", and it directly shapes the narrative (and may cause a narrative to change into a political one).

Regarding "never heard of deliberately fake curriculum", i agree that i havent seen a deliberately fake math curriculum, but i have seen a number of "montressouri schools" that have no credentials and have not updated based on science for years. Most "charter schools" have a similar standard.
> That sounds horrible. I want people working under/with me that will question the work, that will try to figure out if it's the right work.

Sounds great in moderation, but becomes horrible as soon as you get a guy who spends more time arguing than doing.

There’s a reason that “disagree and commit” is a common teaching. It’s fine to question and propose alternatives, but when people see everything as an opportunity to debate and fight it becomes a problem. A big one.

Randomness doesn't have any real impact on whether a problem is computable. Just model the distribution of the random variable. Non-deterministic Turing machines are a thing.

> Or are you saying we should force the road builders to ensure the road has enough capacity to allow everyone to have a siren?

I don't know why you are trying to complicate the issue with a bad analogy. There is no reason for ISPs to be able to sell 'fast lanes' to consumers. There is no benefit to it at all and it directly impedes the service for everyone else.

>Bandwidth is limited. If you have have a surge of data and have to drop some, is it too crazy to think that the videoconference for an emergency responder should be the thing to not drop instead of the youtube video?

Sometimes bandwidth is limited. When it is truly limited latency goes up but it doesn't meant the ISP has to start blocking stuff. Anyways if an ISP is having bandwidth issues regularly they need to get that fixed and not try and gouge more money out of customers by offering 'fast lanes'.

Net neutrality doesn't mean ISPs can't do QoS. They just can't target specific applications or sources/destinations in an effort to pry more money out of customers.

You video conference example just makes no sense. Under net neutrality ISPs can still give priority to emergency responders and other critical government agencies. Go read your ISPs service agreement policy and state/federal laws if you don't believe me.
When the init system won't reliably start openssh, and insists the only fix is to patch, then blame the horrible init system.

And that was what happened with systemd.
Why is the link to this blog spam instead of to the paper or a better article? Hossenfelder lacks qualifications in neuroscience and is often confidently inaccurate.
Yeah, I agree with you, but sometimes higher management wants to implement anything without questions and multiple times the ideas taken more time to deliver! It's very toxic to work like that.

Shameless plug: for the past year, I've been building an app to help me learn vocabulary. I used to use Anki, but it was very difficult to keep adding new words -> word, sentence example, image, audio. So I've basically created a copy of Anki - spaced-repetition flashcards, with the generation of cards fully automated. Also added YouTube and website integration. [1]

The problem with language learning in my opinion is, that learning the vocabulary just cannot be skipped. I've had German for 6 years (2-3 lessons per week) in highschool, just to find out that I don't understand words on 100th positions on the frequency lists. We've mostly focused on memorizing crazy complex grammar structures.

I've also tried passively listening to podcasts and watching movies/series I've already knew, but that would result in at most 1-2 words per episode, which just wouldn't work, if you need at least 5000 words to understand reasonably well.

Ask HN: What do social networks put unique IDs in link sharing for?
When I copy a link to share a tweet, or a YouTube video or any number of websites, there's often an ID unique to me attached to the link. (YouTube even changes it for every share)

e.g. https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=2W5B4wtJZFr7-Ps4 (yes, it's Rick Astley)

I understand it's for tracking and analytics generally speaking, but practically, what do these sites really get from them?

The signals from me sharing a particular link, and others clicking it seem very minute and not very valuable. I suppose you could establish parts of a social network over time, but how valuable is that in practical terms? What can they do with that, that they couldn't do without? How is it worth it to add to all links and have the infrastructure to store and track and analyze?

Is it simply cheap enough that "why not"?

Thanks!

The end of every decade of your life feels this way. It's how we measure lifespans.

I feel like not being able to treat data as code and code as data limits the strategy a lot.

You can't read what code is in a cell, you can only read and write data. So you can't do self-modifying code, beyond blindly copying an existing code cell somewhere else.
Ciel is exactly what I wanted out of a "scripting language" that runs atop Common Lisp. Really glad that you mentioned it. The built-in SLY/SLIME support makes me instantly want to ditch Babashka for this
"The amount of APIs in the world that require concurrency within a single request scope to meet latency needs approaches zero."

I've never worked on any non-Rails API where this was true. The Ruby community keeps telling me this, but in languages where concurrency is well supported, it gets used everywhere to a great extent. I obviously don't have hard data to support this, but your claim seems pretty far fetched to be honest.

"In practice, you don’t make that db call until the auth request is done and the user is verified"

Of course you optimistically do any idempotent DB operations while waiting for auth to succeed if you care about latency.

"you don’t make the outgoing api call until you already have the results of the db call, because you need your data to form the outgoing request"

These dependencies of course exist, but so do parts of the graph where they do not. You might want to make 2 or 5 outgoing calls based on your DB query and have to wait for 2 out of these 5 to make another DB query. This is so common that there are libraries like https://github.com/uber-go/cff to explicitly model those dependency graphs, visualize them and resolve them at runtime.

My theory is that system designs like this are just impractical to implement inside Rails today, which leads heavily Rails biased engineers to not even consider them, which leads Rails experienced developers to never have seen them, which in turn fuels the sentiment that they are rare. I'm not saying that you fall into this category, but from my experience many engineers who have only ever done Rails in their career do.
But how do we decide on the negative externalities?
The cases in Canada are mind bogglingly frustrating, such as a woman ending up with an amputation after getting extreme bed sores while in care. If you think rugular movement and care from nurses to prevent that was too expensive, how does that compare to a whole operation and following recovery? Talk about penny wise and pound foolish.
No, Lmsys is just another very obviously flawed benchmark.
Overbooking allows for reduced emissions, as more flights are closer to capacity. Do you think that eliminating the practice will be beneficial on net?

A lot of exercise increases focus and reduces fidgetiness. Also, if there's fewer things to keep track of and less everyday choices to make, it's easier.

The difference is that with emoticons you could invent your own combinations and variations. Different people would use different variations of basically the same emoticon. You could come up with new ones hat hadn’t been used before. With emojis, you have a fixed set, and it is what it is.

Another difference is that emoticons blend in to the text visually. Your eyes aren’t draw to them like they are when you have a paragraph of text with colorful emoji sprinkled in-between, which can be much more jarring.

I've created a flashcard app with a hint function. I mention it in another comment.
Some of us want a record of what was, not a hallucination of what might have or could have been.

Courts, for example. Forensic science was revolutionized by widespread adoption of photography leading to a reduction of the importance given to witnesses. Who also hallucinate what might have happened.
Kubrick did Spartacus (I think you meant to say). Kingdom of Heaven might be a better example from Ridley Scott.

I think the problem isn't constantly questioning! The major problem is many times, the ideas was top down, without a basic research or thought about possible RoI, wants to be discussed more because the team that will implement wants to know better and avoid mistakes, such behaviors always causes friction!
As a writer, I really would not like someone taking something I wrote, trashing it and then have that person’s version be the one everyone knows.
I think your looking at this wrong. They care about you enough that they wanted to keep the relationship interesting and not fall into the trap of complacency that's so easy to fall into as time rolls on. Enough that they took steps to remind themselves not to take you for granted, and still enough that they take those reminders to heart. It's not like getting flowers or planning a picnic or whatever becomes zero effort because an app reminded you. You had to look at that reminder and care to act upon it.
Yeah, when this press release was making the rounds a few days ago, I tried to dig up more info, and didn’t find much. It seems like they’re aiming to connect terrestrial BT devices to satellites? I just don’t see how it could work.

Maybe the actual tech they’re shooting for is to wrap the BT protocol or modulate it up to blast at satellites? Then you could enable connectivity for existing BT sensor networks and such. They explicitly say that it doesn’t require a hardware retrofit, only firmware, though. I suppose you could hit some sort of harmonic on a 2.4GHz antenna, but that would be very dependent on the frontend and antenna design, and the SNR would probably suck. Something doesn’t add up.

Conceptually, I’m also not really sure if the pitch makes sense. Sure, let’s say you can do firmware patches to BT chipsets, but was that the expensive/hard part? Does the BT protocol and spec make sense in the context of hitting a satellite? It’s clearly not designed for it in terms of latencies, airtime, etc.

>The practice of overbooking flights must be ended

Overbooking flights isn't bad per se. There's good reason to do it, namely that people are inevitably flakey, so the airlines being able to oversell some seats allows them to get more revenue on a flight, and therefore allow them to charge everyone slightly less. As long as this is clearly disclosed, passengers are given an explicit choice and/or compensation if they're bumped, I don't see why it should be banned.

>and compensation enacted retroactively

Probably not constitutional, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder
To note, military training also gives the government more control over the younger generation, albeit at a cost (which can also be beneficial to the army, in term of budget increase, and count as GDP as money flows around).

Aside from actually going to war, there can be many benefits for a government like China.
Pascal's wager doesn't require much effort on behalf of the user, though. The idea is the benefits far outweigh the downsides. So should we just try to have a cleaner earth with the benefit of subverting this dangerous thing if it does exist?

The clincher here is that most of the greenhouse gasses come from giant corporations. As non-billionaire individuals, we don't have to personally give anything up. All we have to do is get those corporations to stop polluting simply because it's more profitable in the short term.
If it would have been done poorly, no one might have funded Jackson, it’s hard to judge in hindsight.
>The rules expressly do not limit how providers address the needs of emergency communications.

Exactly. FCC has required emergency responders and other critical agencies to have priority for years. The new rules have zero impact on that. Anyone acting like these rules somehow inhibit emergency response is either at best wrong or at worse arguing in bad faith.
Old distros fade away, new distros come in to replace them.

I'm in Norway so I don't really know how it looks like from abroad, but I am pretty sure a lot of NRK content is available globally. Under the Vikingane show you listed it clearly says "available in Norway". However the first show on the homepage "Nytt på nytt-quiz" [1], a type of game-show, says that it is available globally. I am not sure there is a clear overview over what is available globally though like SVT has.

I think often fiction-type shows like Vikingane has complicated licensing as it is normally produced by some sort of third-party, but other programs like news and the mintioned gameshow is produced in-house and NRK has all the rights. There is a very nice page with an archive of old programs [2], I think most of this should be globally available.

I of course agree in general that geo-restrictions and localized distribution rights are stupid concepts.

That explains quite a bit. My entire career since college has been "worked at smaller startups or done consulting, contracting, or freelancing." How is somebody with that background who doesn't have enough runway or funding to launch a startup supposed to find a job when companies actively discriminate against you over your background?
Overbooking would be fine if all of their sales literature makes it clear that you're effectively buying a lottery ticket to get on the plane. If it's being sold as a confirmed ticket, it needs to be actually there. They already have a mechanism to do that too; you can get on waitlists.

Turns out they can't sell things at the same price when it's a waitlist, though.

Which president Bush? And was it literally a choice made by the president? Or a ruling by some agency of the executive branch? And one of the carriers being in bankruptcy at the time of merger suggests the story might not be so simple as it is being portrayed.

The lead Senators, Maria Cantwell and Ted Cruz, probably didn’t realize what had happened, as they did seek to do something useful for consumers, and the FAA reauthorization bill is sprawling and it’s easy to lose track of the details of every provision.

Sure, a completely honest mistake. No way our caring politicians would have let that language be inserted into the law.

I would love if these documents were version controlled so we could see exactly whose office inserted the language. Which makes so much sense, I doubt it will ever happen.
Working at a FAANG, I've definitely seen founders and startup employees chafe at decision making that they felt powerless over. Stuff like legal refusing contracts with GCP due to reasons and then doing it anyways, or coping with staff engineers dictating decisions they'd have decided differently by quitting.
Those cost estimates are nonsense, way too low by orders of magnitude. Since the invention of the Haber-Bosch process (nitrogen fertilizer), major world famines haven't been caused by a lack of food or even money for food. The actual causes have always been political: incompetence, corruption, and violence.

For example, during the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia which killed 1.2M people there was a drought, but the primary cause was war. The combatants used hunger as a weapon, and stole food from civilians and foreign aid supplies.

How much would it cost to intervene in every conflict zone and impose peace? Look what happened in Afghanistan recently. The cost would be in the trillions if it's even possible at all.
Have you personally used LLMs within agent frameworks that apply CoT and OPA patterns or others from cognitive architecture theories?

I’d be surprised if you have used LLMs beyond the classic chat based linear interface that is commonly used and still have the opinions you do.

In my opinion, once you combine RAG and agent frameworks with raw observational input data they can absolutely do real reasoning, analysis, and create new insights that are meaningful and will be considered genuine new science. This project/group we are discussing have practically proven this with their replication examples. The reason this is possible is because the LLM is not just taught how to repeat information but it can actually reason and analyze at a human level and beyond when utilizing it’s capabilities within a well designed cognitive architecture using agents.
Why stop at that? It would reduce emissions even further if airlines were allowed to take customers' money and not provide any flights whatsoever.
