Besides the fact this article avoids giving any concrete examples, showing the author probably doesn't use the technique himself, it's going to fail when the opposite side cannot be convinced by rationality, which is most of the time.

Indeed, you cannot "patch up the weaknesses of the other side’s proposition" of someone supporting a sports team or a religious belief. Because there is no real argument, but rather some kind of emotional commitment.

However, if you engage in the exercise a lot, you'll notice that a huge number of debates are around such notions, where ego, identity, and feelings are more important than ideas.

It's certainly true for lots of political beliefs, but also many technical ones where your social situation depends on the result of the debates more than being wright or wrong (e.g: at work).

Not to mention when you are debating, it happens regularly you win not by convincing the other side, but by winning over the popularity contest with the audience of the exchange. This again, has nothing to do with the logic of the discussion.

So even if the technique works for, say, your discussion with your physicist or philosopher friend (in which you probably didn't need it anyway), there is really little value in it if it can't work in the situations with more at stake.

Or to use a more scientific term:

I call BS.

I suspect he knows more than he lets on, and guises it as "learning" to trick regulators into giving him more time. In fact, considering that Apple's business strategy isn't public I think that's the only possible explanation unless he actually is unaware of Apple's overall business plans and is being filled-in on a need-to-know basis.

Eddy Cue is directly aware of how Apple's policy blocks competitors, outrages customers and provokes market regulators. Whatever he's learning doesn't seem to be related to what users want.
I don't think the problem is left/right, it seems to me to be more about ego/less ego. If interlocutors are more interested in playing with ideas than with coming to a preconceived conclusion, steel manning works well.

It also works in technical discussions. Being able to fairly explain an approach you disagree with demonstrates good faith, which is often returned.

While that is true, does it not illustrate exactly the problem? Nobody ever says someone is in their 17th year when they are 16. That would be very confusing.

Packet size is dependent on the MTU, so practically speaking you're trying to put something 1460 bytes into a 1460 byte container and the only way for that to fit is the split the packet or tell the packet generator to make smaller packets. both of which are reasonable options but they're not the most efficient, leading to slower connections when tunneling one inside the other. It's less of a deal theses days, but that's the why of it.

I think you’re right for some people on both sides, but I suspect that there are more opportunities to find better arguments than it might appear.

Bad arguments (particularly of the opposing side) tend to get a lot of attention though social media, making reasonable people seem rare. It’s easy to be dismissive and saves time.

Disrupting the gateway services to cybercrime (2023)
'free for noncommercial use' licenses are nothing new, and we have half a century of experience showing that they're a dead end. they make it impossible to form an actual community around the software; the users remain at the beck and call of the software owner. sooner or later the owner loses interest or goes bankrupt, and the users are left high and dry, unable to fend for themselves

a commenter with more patience than i have has posted a longer explanation at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40835750 which i don't wholly endorse but which you'd probably benefit from reading

(as another commenter points out, futo's license is particularly broadly written, adding additional problems on top of the usual 'free for noncommercial use' problems)
Another argument I hear often is that "they have no reason to surveil boring ordinary individuals."

Are you suggesting that Haidt is in fact an expert on youth mental health? What do you base this conclusion on? Him having written a bestseller?

While you are right that Wikipedia can be biased, I'm surprised you bring this up in this context.

It's not hard to objectively evaluate a professors research expertise. You look at the scientific papers they have authored.

That's about as far from a bias-prone topic as it gets. I get maths is even less prone to political bias.
I will paraphrase a truism: statistics are irrelevant to the affected individual. Looking back at my own childhood, I recognize that things could have turned out very differently partially because I was fairly free range.

> If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.

I've always taken issues with this phrase as many people would be lead to believe the opposite as well: If you have something to hide, you have something to fear.

Which further suggests that as soon as there's anything you want to hide, that has to be something criminal.

Of course, this is utter garbage. People _do_ have things to hide, and it is rarely criminal / unlawful.
> it's going to fail when the opposite side cannot be convinced by rationality, which is most of the time.

As many people have noted, arguing on the Internet is a spectator sport. You don't need to convince your opponent, but by steel manning his arguments and addressing them, you have a greater chance of convincing the audience.
It isn't about the "financial cost" from a competitive standpoint - it's about scalability.

Costs savings are usually around 20-40% of what you would spend in the US, so not that significant in an industry with 80-90% profit margins baked in.

The real value comes from being able to scale out and add additional teams to speed up delivery of features.

This is the double edged sword of 100% remote work - if you devalue in-person relationships, then there's no reason to value a local talent pool.
if you try to justify this to my face you would get slapped.

I don't believe you :)

I think most people who say "I have nothing to hide" are just mimicking a slogan they no doubt heard someone they respect or at least think talks well say

Another common refrain, especially since Snowden, is just glib defeatism ("they already have all my info anyway") which is also a poor way to think about policy (and to make personal choices, but I won't argue those with most people)

I really think the main reason people are complacent is more often that the spying is abstract to them. They wouldn't like it if someone were pointing a big camera through their window, but data being aggregated through their phone and smart home gadgets and computer and CCTVs in public places and leaks on distant websites doesn't register in their actual attention, so it doesn't emotionally feel like a big deal to them

> Sure, but no one ever uses that phrasing after you turn one.

Heck, few people say anything about 'the first year of life' even when talking about someone that young. It is too imprecise, because things change so rapidly. In my experience the most common convention is to use months to describe age before someone turns 2.

Then you may be a perfectly adequate programmer. This, what, doubles the length of time it takes to type out the program? Triples? Typing out the program is not what takes the time!

I've just spent a couple of days writing a plugin in a language I don't know. (The system documentation spends two paragraphs explaining how hard it is to solve the problem I solved.) Yes, I had to look up absolutely everything (including basic language syntax – repeatedly), and that was really annoying, but most of my time and effort went into figuring out how to do the thing.
Well, probably not, no -- I'm pretty sure the Daodejing was written in a literary language quite distinct from any spoken language at that time. This used to be something readily found all over the world.

Those are the most popular sources, and I've used both!

The first one is the official OpenStreetMap data, which contains the "planet file" - i.e. all the data for the entire world. But because OSM has so much stuff in it, the planet file is a whopping 76 GB, which can take a long time to process for most tasks. I also recommend using the torrent file for faster download speeds.

As a result of the planet's size, the German company Geofabrik provides unofficial "extracts" of the data, which are filtered down to a specific region. E.g. all the data in a particular continent, country, or U.S. state. If you click on the "Sub Region" link it will show countries, and if you click on those it will show states.
I think first tried Kivy in 2013, I wouldn’t call it new.
Quake Live also required an NPAPI browser plugin. So it wasn't a web application any more than for delivery and loading the binaries it had download.
It's not offshoring in the same way as it was 20 years ago. They are remote employees, they go through the same hiring process as everyone else but at 50% the price. And remote work is much, much more accessible.

Remote workers located in HCOL areas of US and Europe have shot themselves in the foot. I see it especially in the market for native mobile development in Western Europe. Salaries decreasing, freelance rates dropping. There is plenty of work, but positions are filled with workers living in the South or East.

As hiring manager, if I'm going to hire someone who works remote, I will pick the person with the same skillset and experience at half the cost.
Unironically, I wish i ever had a one.

all just sounds like grade A bullshit to me. off-shoring is nothing new. still has same issues it always did.

although much dev work has become very commodified and saturated so the demographic reality is that it's very hard to find a job, and most jobs dont pay well and hiring has become extremely arrogant and choosy.
While I agree that we're not there yet, I'm one of the people who assumes that it is feasible to beat humans intellectually.
Even if a game (or any other software) can be updated later, improving things and fixing bugs is not necessarily a business priority, because you could be adding new features or working on a new product instead.

The profit-maximizing strategy is to keep the level of crappiness that frustrates your customers, but not enough to make them switch to a competing product.

I have to disagree with the "2 to 6 people" - even for small projects I feel like 4-6 people is great. This way you can ensure that everyone has a “tandem” and e.g. It's not just a frontend developer doing some mischief that someone has to clean up afterwards :D
Kivy's marketing seems to be targeting LOB apps. If I was going to develop one of those, I'd optimize for something standardized and easy to maintain (HTML/JS) vs. the performance benefits of a native UX or cross-platform framework.
Which ideas "become a thing" also feels very controlled to me. I feel like NGOs kinda form a global para-empire that the US uses to form and control counterelites. Idk really but that's my completely ignorant conspiracy statement lol
One take on it is that chatbots ought to know something about the tokens that they take. For instance you should be able to ask it how it tokenizes a phrase, what the number is for tokens, etc. One possibility is to train it on synthetic documents that describe the tokenization system.
> just adopt a 24-hour clock. This is a hill I'm willing to die on.

I don't know if I feel that strongly about it but I tend to agree. I see more value in adopting a 24 hour clock than making SI mandatory. AM/PM is silly.
Memorization is caching. You need it because otherwise you'd be too slow at anything, but you can't possibly memorize everything, and the whole point of understanding is so you don't have to. And like with any caching, the more you store, the more it costs to maintain it, and the longer the lookups become. If you want to cram a lot of stuff into it, you may need to start doing actual, expensive work - e.g. spaced repetition - to keep it all.

AS for memorizing generic problem solving strategies - I don't think it's about not memorizing, but rather that understanding comes through examples, and if you learn high-level stuff without actually applying it in practice, and experiencing the process, then you haven't actually learned the high-level stuff, you just think so, and will parrot the description without comprehending it.
> But when you go fishing for cheap, which is usually the reason for seeking it in the first place, you're never going to find it

That's the thing - employers aren't paying peanuts abroad anymore either.

Just take a look at YC salaries in India, Czechia, or China (the level of talent that FAANG in those countries would hire at).

Base salary plus bonus is at most 50% less than in the US, so factoring taxes and legal fees you save at best 40%, which isn't significant in an industry with 80-90% profit margins.

It's literally about talent at the end of the day - it's just easier to scale out entirely new teams to speed up delivering multiple features at once.

If you pay peanuts, then software is just a cost center for you (and for most industries, it is)
Strawman. No one is talking about pure sodium.
They will not fix this. Indeed, regulation is required, but meaningful change requires a functioning, coherent government with institutions that are not fully enclosed in regulatory capture.

The United States is falling apart, and it is no longer capable of solving its own problems. Now, inertia keeps legacy systems functioning, until fascism and/or balkanization a-la USSR takes over.
I don't understand the wider point you are trying to make. What problems are you prescribing to Cue? I use Apple stuff and generally enjoy the experience but don't really follow their news closely, so I might be missing something critical here.
Well, there are a lot of efforts to make C# / .NET suitable for raspberry projects.

NativeAOT is on the way, so that you can compile small binaries without any dependencies.

If that does not work, you can compile your project as "ReadyToRun" with "Trimming", which will treeshake all unneeded runtime stuff and prepare an acceptable small binary.

One way to overcome the problem with missing drivers is to setup a python API (e.g. Flask) and triggering things through the Avalonia UI. Or you could wrap a binary execution via CliWrap, an excellent library for .NET to run external processes.

I once wrote a little eventhub[1] to run on the Raspberry PI, it is just an experiment but worked ok.

There is also .NET IoT[2], which exactly targets these platforms.

New AI Training Technique Is Drastically Faster, Says Google
> Furthermore, what audience and level of mathematics education are we discussing?

I wonder this too, I think they might mean university-level as well. For younger audiences, I feel one of the biggest problems for most people to understand math is they don't understand why any of it is relevant. If educators can make it seem more like teaching general problem solving abilities, that will likely improve the overall acceptance and lead to better overall math skills as a result.

As a specific example, our high-school math curriculum taught a lot of calculus, but framed it incorrectly as being a useful tool that people would use. Eg as if a business man would write down an equation for their revenue based on inputs, and then take the derivative to compute the maximum. I'm assuming they told students this to try and get them motivated, but it clearly was a lie since everybody knows you could just plot a graph and look at it to find the maximum. If they instead were honest that the point of learning calculus was to help with understanding more advanced concepts in math/engineering/science, while also being a valuable learning tool for general problem solving, I think that would have been a better result.
I see significant improvements nearly every other week or so, and I feel like I'm barely following the industry. He's making an "any day now" argument and is not quoting what AI companies are doing or dealing with. For example, improving training data has been delivering massive improvements vs. "gathering more". Identifying and iterating on approaches to dealing with recognized flaws is another area delivering massive improvements. Lots of basic research is still being done.
