Clearly you’ve never driven in the EU. The usual follow distance here is about three meters, the “safe” one is five, any farther and you’re going to get a stream of cars overtaking you just to fill that void :)

Regarding stones and lose cargo, they would hit you even 300m away as they bounce and quickly lose speed while you’re still flying into at them at 130km/h.

Anecdotally the people I know that take serious drugs are on average as normal as anyone else. And I know plenty of people with psych issues that don't take drugs. Neither a necessary nor sufficient condition.

Yes, we can work on people's underlying psychological problems, but we are far from having reliable solutions to resolve psychological problems.

Your implied solution is that we can fix drug addicts. That is a long way from reality in my limited experience (and I have acquantances working in drug rehab).

Watch one close friend go down the hellhole of drug addiction, and you can quckly discover for yourself that often (a) it isn't due to mental health and (b) there doesn't seem to be much that anyone can do.
> math is a different subject than most, math is a skill

Interesting framing. It prompted me to wonder, what aspects of science education are taught as a skill, are what aren't but could/should be?

Scientific argumentation/dialog (part of science literacy) seems occasionally taught as a skill. Perhaps roleplay, reflective practice, and drill, are then underutilized?

An order-of-magnitude sense of size is regrettably very not taught as a skill. So despite being taught primary through undergraduate, and being part of most every science and engineering curricula, it's very little used by other content, and even graduate student grasp is often weak. Teaching a sense of size as a skill, as a framework for organizing one's knowledge of the physical world, might be an interesting opportunity.

Much of intro physics seems taught as plug-and-chug skills. So being a "skill" seems at least somewhat orthogonal to transferability, utility, etc. Is applying physics to your everyday life ever taught as a skill? Or an experimentalist mindset?
Looking at crime in general around cities and not just metal theft, I think that it's the result of a mismatch of incentives and disincentives.

If you are in poverty in America and want to get help, it's pretty easy to get. You can get food stamps to buy food, to go a shelter or section 8 for housing, we have welfare and many other programs to take care of folks who ask for it.

But each of those programs has rules, you can't buy booze with your food stamps and you can't bring drugs into a shelter for example. Some people don't like this tradeoff so they resort to theft, whether breaking into a car or stealing the copper wiring out of a lightpole.

And that is where the issue is, while we are pouring tons and tons of resources into the inventive, we as a society are neglecting the fact that you also need disincentives. We need to make sure that we show people that we have incentives to get them back on their feet, get them healthy and get them fed but we also need to show equal disincentives if they choose to break the law.
The only thing that is awkward imho is the focusing, the rest is a really good fit for declarative, e.g. here's your list of "things", render a UI for each.
Do you have any source that an environment where quality is secondary to quantity produce more value than where quality is more important? Because, GDP on paper tells us exactly that they don’t.

For example I have a friend who worked next to the production line the exact same job for Mercedes both in Hungary and Germany. In Hungary, the quantity was way more important than quality. In Germany, the opposite. So where that same exact person produced more value?
My suggestion here was that tax rate actually has nothing do to with quality of such basic services. It sounds like we agree.
But that is for websites directly related to operating the browser, whereas chrome is exposing APIs used by unrelated google products such as google meet.

This could possibly also be a violation of anti-trust laws since it is using a monopoly in one market (browsers) to get an advantage in another (video conferencing).

It's not "supposedly", there:s plenty of evidence of Russian troll farms online pretending to be Americans trying to influence elections and denigrate Ukraine online.

And regarding gas and nuclear, Plenty of EU high level politicians from Germany and Austria were close to the Kremlin and after their mandates were over took well paid positions in Russian oil and gas companies being proof.

What part of this logic makes you think that Russia couldn't have anything to do with pushing the anti nuclear agenda on Europe in order to maintain EU dependent on their gas that you need to be spoonfed precise proof? It's not like the FSB publishes their dark ops online or that western counter intelligente Tracking FSB ops publish their immediate findings. But various journalist do make educated guesses on this without the "we did it" explicit proof.

The special built-in API reveals system-wide CPU usage, not just for browser processes. Still surprised extensions can see browser processes though.

Edit: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/s... seems to provide that, though
Live video or audio chat is basically the only time you do want this. Granted, that’s a big chunk of microphone usage in practice, but any time you are doing higher fidelity audio recording and you have set up the inputs accordingly you absolutely do not want the artefacts introduced by this cancellation. DAWs, audio calibration, and even live audio when you’ve ensured the output cannot impact the recording all would want it switched off.

Default on vs default off is really just an implementation detail of the API though, as you say.

Just like they, and Microsoft, and many hardware manufacturers, also know every banking password/legal document/medical data in the world. Closed operating systems, applications, drivers, can all be used to exfiltrate data unbeknownst to users, including administrators. We're forced to give them some trust, otherwise the only choice would be to use only systems, software, hardware that is completely open down to the last bit, which sadly don't exist as a whole.
I worked at a company that would provide "free pizza" during evenings to encourage people to stay a little later and get more work done. It wasn't long before people would simply grab armfuls of food, entire pizza boxes, and bring them to their cars, ending that little perk quickly.
That's a fair point about what you expected to read. That said, while I agree that "teach to the slowest learners" is common and results in flatlined learning for at/above-grade-level students, I would argue it's somewhat orthogonal to the claim "disagree with the premise of maximizing learning."

If you teach to the slowest learners, then it's still possible you might agree with the premise of maximizing learning (for the slowest learners). So, I can't use "teach to the slowest learners" to argue that many people disagree with that premise in an absolute sense (for all learners).

Is there a good general purpose solution where I can store a large read only database in s3 or something and do lookups directly on it?

Duckdb can open parquet files over http and query them but I found it to trigger a lot of small requests reading bunch of places from the files. I mean a lot.

I mostly need key / value lookups and could potentially store each key in a seperate object in s3 but for a couple hundred million objects.. It would be a lot more managable to have a single file and maybe a cacheable index.

> Around town, some people teased him that his E.V. battery eventually would stop holding a charge, just like battery-powered hand tools do.

I wish the journalist dug into this more; NiCd and NiMH battery powered tools were abysmal for life; ~3 years of home projects and trying to defeat memory effects were a huge problem in the early 2000s. But these days, lithium ion tool sets are more versatile (all upgraded to 20v, versus 12v had been a norm NiCD) but now they're lasting 10 years, assuming you don't leave them off of the charger when they're dead.
Okay.

Pretending you said something conversational, like: "is that quote accurate in this case? The API may have literally enabled the creation of video conferencing. I, for one, remember we didn't used to have it."

I see.

So your contention is:

- if anyone thinks a statsd web API, hidden in Chrome, available only to Google websites is worth questioning

- they're insufficiently impressed by video conferencing existing

If I have that right:

I'm not sure those two things are actually related.

If you worked at Google, I'm very intrigued by the idea we can only collect metrics via client side web API for statsd, available only to Google domains.

If you work in software, I'm extremely intrigued by the idea video conferencing wouldn't exist without client site web API for statsd, available only to Google domains.

If you have more details on either, please, do share
OK. They can do that.
> I've driven most of the north east of the US.

Then you have no idea what the rest of us are talking about. Western roads are huge, and travel times are long. When you're driving the ~1000 miles between Denver and Los Angeles, 10 mph difference in speed can make your trip up to 2 hours longer. That's not insignificant, especially if you're trying to do it in a single day.
Similar to how all real-world computers have a finite number of states and are thus not Turing machines, but rather finite state machines.
I am very doubtful of the suggestions that those arguing against testing and spaced repetition are just not trying to help people grow.

My 6 month old is currently learning a whole host of things, and we are doing repetition and watching his growth -- so no disagreement on the premise that these things are good.
But we are also making great pains to ensure that he is playing, is always happy doing new things, and doesn't have to continue if he gets overwhelmed and/or bored. We do this because the mentality of someone when learning is a huge factor in what they get out of the activity.

I had the impression that the current push against testing and repetition is because it ended up with children hyper-focussed on "passing the test" skills but not spending the time to question things too deeply and gain that understanding that actually helps the workforce (like Feynman noticed in Brazil).
Nobody wants to write documentation, but it's so crucial for on-boarding new employees to have well-written (and even more important, up-to-date) documentation.

It's so frustrating to be unable to find information, and even when I do find it, it's outdated, and the only way I find out it's outdated is because I spend an hour+ trying to get something to work based on the instructions, and when I finally pop a question on Slack, I'm told "Oh, we haven't done it that way in a long time. Here's what you need to do..."
Yes, travel is tiring/stressful, air travel doubly so (first the airport gauntlet, then a box full of noise, vibrations and with about 70% of normal oxygen levels available to your body due to the lower pressure).

However, you can make it suck less. Stow your backpack overhead so you have at least some leg room. Have comfortable clothes, possibly adjustable ones (zip-off pants, t-shirt plus a separate warmer layer you can take off). Wear earplugs - possibly from the point on where you leave your home - to reduce the added stress from noise. If you have noise cancelling over-the-ear headphones, those go over the earplugs, then you crank the volume up (given the surrounding noise, this should not leak enough noise to be annoying for your seat mates). If you don't, consider noise-insulating in-ear headphones + earmuffs.

I tend to fall asleep on planes easily (usually aided by sleep deprivation because I procrastinated packing for way too long), but when I wake up, I tend to be perfectly in the mood for some dumb entertainment.
It’s clearly a zero sum system. Every farmed fish consumed by humans is one less wild fish caught and taken out of the food chain.

Would you also be concerned if there were more whales in the ocean? Because they eat literal tons of phytoplankton which is also a food source for other fish. I think you’re just refusing to see things logically.

Predatory publishers? Please. Self publishing has never been easier. Authors can keep 100% of the revenues if they choose. The fact that they willfully sign away large percentages just reflects the reality that printing, design, editing, distribution and sales are expensive.
The real problem is there are too many people who treat mathematical/scientific history as some kind of olympic games, where the goal is to rack up medals for your preferred team (country, region, religious group, ...), with the result that any discussion becomes counterproductively politicized.

Trying to argue about whether one tribe's or another tribe's 50-generations-ago ancestor was the first one to do this or that thing seems to me like completely missing the point, when all of these steps were part of a long and gradual historical process, building ideas and tools up over centuries. (Similarly, it's annoying how many debates center on various ancient figures' ethnicity or religious affiliation, usually without much evidence.)

To anyone who tries researching ancient (or more recent) mathematics, it's clear that there usually isn't a single aha moment changing everything, but a broader culture that gradually evolves. We can see different flavors/aspects of a concept like "zero" which were developed different times and places (China, Mesopotamia, India, Greece, North America), none of which really draws any obvious line in the sand.

With regard to Indian innovations, however, it seems pretty clear that written arithmetic per se (performed on a "sand board") was developed there, as credited by all of the oldest extant texts on the subject from writers in Arabic (which call it something like "Indian arithmetic" or "Indian numbers"). Written arithmetic was then substantially elaborated in the Islamic world with a switch to using pen and paper, before making its way to Europe where it eventually kicked off the development of modern mathematical notation. The earlier Mesopotamian/Egyptian/Greek/European tradition, as well as the Chinese tradition, were generally based on using finger counting or some form of counting board, with written numerals used as a serialization format rather than a calculation tool. Arguably the invention and spread of physical materials like cheap good quality paper, writing implements, ink, and eventually printing presses were as important as the theoretical developments.
"All they're doing is making their product better."

"Making your product better by privileging your own domains in the browser is the anti-competitive part."

"Come on, it's not like it's making their product better."

----

This really isn't complicated. Is this making Google Meet better? I would quote:

> danielmarkbruce: "They are just trying to make their products better."

Okay. So then Google Meet would be a worse product if they didn't have privileged API access over other apps. So... this does make it harder for those other apps to compete, unless you think that the quality of a product is somehow irrelevant for competition.

Sure, Google Meet still isn't winning, but who knows where they'd be in the market if they didn't privilege themselves.

You're saying that their product would be worse if they didn't do this, but also that it somehow doesn't matter because they're not the best product. Which has a similar energy to me cutting a loop out of a marathon and saying, "Come on guys, I only came in third. It's not cheating unless I come in first, everybody knows that. As long as I don't come in first I'm allowed to take shortcuts. Give me my third place medal that I definitely earned fairly, why is everybody mad about this?"
>If you want that, move to a state that limits your freedom in that way.

I don't need to, as I'm fine with the Constitution (although it appears that you'd prefer something like the Articles of Confederation[2], which was as you may or may not be aware, a failire) as it is (although I wouldn't mind if we passed ERA[0] and clarified that no one is above the law).

Do you believe that Federal law should not be the supreme law of the land? If so, I'm sorry to disappoint you on that. If so, I suggest you bone up on the last time[1] we had a dispute over that and see how that played out -- badly for everyone.

US patent and trademark law as well as the Food and Drug Act apply to the several states as well as the nation as a whole, thanks to the fourteenth amendment. As such, for you to live in a place where your ideas have currency, you'll need to move to not just a different state, but a different nation-state.

I understand food safety, drug and copyright laws are pretty lax in places like Somalia and Eritrea. Also, many back-country areas of Colombia, Brazil and a bunch of other nations have little government oversight. Good luck with your emigration plans.

> Like can Google query any Chrome instance in the world? Or is it only from/to google.com?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make? Yes, it sounds like the API is exposed just to the content running on *.google.com, but that's still a lot like "Google can query any Chrome instance" (that visits their site, but that's ~100% given that even if you don't visit Google services, Chrome pulls in NTP content from Google by default).

I don't think this is being used maliciously, but it's still problematic if Google can troubleshoot problems this way, and their competitors in the same space can't. There's no API for Zoom, right?

Unlike most LLMs, Github copilot can trivially solve their copyright problem by just using only code they have the right to reproduce.

They have a giant corpus of code tagged with license, SELECT BY license MIT/Equivalent and you're done, problem solved because those licenses explicitly grant permission for this kind of reuse.

(It's still not very cash money to take open source work for commercial gain without paying the original authors, and there's a humorous question if MIT-copilot would need to come with a multi-gigabyte attribution file, but everyone widely agrees it's legal and permitted.)

The only reason you'd hack a filter on top rather than doing the above is if you'd want to hide the copyright problem. It's an objectively worse solution.

That's not how they did it. They had one team read the BIOS source listings in the IBM PC Technical Reference Manual and create a technical specification and a second team take that specification and write a new BIOS [1]. The second team never saw the original code so therefore they could not have copied it.

To do something similar with AI, you really need to train one AI on the source code and then have it explain that code to a second AI that never saw the original code.

Conceptually, we should see deprecating a feature as a separate question from moving to a new API. So in this scenario, you would manage deprecating functionality in the same way regardless of whether you're also rolling out a new API at the same time.
