No, I had the same strategy in computer science, foreign language, and elective courses. CS? The first week of the class, I'd read the entire language manual. I wouldn't understand everything, but when a concept was explained in detail, I had a context and baseline familiarity to orient myself.

In foreign language and elective courses (such as history) doing the reading before the lecture meant I could focus on what the lecturer thought was important rather than absorbing new information.

Quite. The higher ups at the Post Office clearly knew about the bugs in the system and took steps to avoid any public disclosure of them.
The really bothersome aspect to my mind is not that the first handful of sub-postmasters were erroneously convicted. It is that they would sooner believe 900(!) sub-postmasters were guilty of fraud and theft than that maybe there is something wrong with the software.
I hadn't specifically seen MoSCoW before. Some people need to have everything spelled out for them, I guess.
> I’m using hyperbole to elicit and emotional reaction which, hopefully, will give readers pause to reflect on what I wrote.

No, the emotional reaction it elicits is "oh here we go again." It's worse than useless, it completely undermines your point. Social media has a lot of negatives, and some positives. The negatives are mostly a result of chasing profit, and locked-in platforms as opposed to federation between equals. E.g. nobody's crying out that email is about to destroy the very fabric of reality.
I was talking with someone from Greece recently who was experiencing a heat wave and they dont have AC. I am from the south eastern US where we are basically required to have AC for de-humidification as much as cooling - we would be overrun with mold and mildew without AC in the summer. Our heat indexes regularly reach 105F during the summer and sometimes much higher. I joked the other day that if our aquifers ever ran out of water we could probably get most of what we need with just a better dehumidifier.

Edit to add: just in case, you should never use water out of a dehumidifier for anything but grey water use cases unless you sanitize and purify it - it can make you very sick!
Glad to hear from you. thanks
Sorry to comment on the site and not the article, but goddamn. I have an old phone and visiting news sites like wired make it as hot as if I'm playing a video game, and the page had to reload several times like it ran out of memory. I lost 15% of my battery in 2 minutes of reading.

Wired (and other news sites), what the hell are you doing to computers? Stop it. People on newer phones may not notice it, but they're still burning just as many cycles on whatever stupid bullshit you decided to add to your site.

Maybe we wouldn't need so many air conditioners if sites like yours didn't exist.

My argument was that someone could have said “I think social media will destroy society” 20 years ago and back then it would have been a wild notion.

Judging by this thread, nowadays it would not be as much of a wild notion.

I use this observation to draw similarities to how we are currently viewing issues around the dangers of AI.

No argument is being made about social media itself.

So let's separate out "effective" from "efficient".

I'm perfectly happy to accept that the "every single card is hard" is the most efficient system for memorizing facts: i.e., that if you measure the number of facts you can recite and divide it by the amount spent studying, that SRS will come out on top.

But is that the most "effective" -- will it actually result in you learning more facts at the end of some time frame?

For that you need to know not only the amount learned per unit of studying, but the amount that you actually study; and the amount you study depends in part on your motivation; and your motivation depends on how hard / engaging the study is.

Suppose that with every card being hard, you study on average 20 cards a day; but that with every card being only moderate, you average 60 cards a day. Even if the "effectiveness" of moderate card study is only one half of difficult card study, you still end up learning more, because you've studied three times as much.

The idea that after seeing a given card 30 times over the course of a year, you'd somehow end up knowing it less well than if you'd seen it only 10 times, because it wasn't "hard enough" when you did see it, seems really unlikely to me.

It is not as if Ancient Egypt didn't build complicated irrigation systems too.

There is survivorship bias embedded in your reply. Pyramids are extremely durable, so we can still see them and judge them. Cultures that didn't build them could well spend their money and effort on some other status symbols, which were more transient. Like huge events (balls etc.) held for the royalty.

> Unfortunately, in England and Wales, courts consider computers, as a matter of law, to have been working correctly unless there is evidence to the contrary.

Wow, not a single lawmaker there was ever a Software Engineer, eh? What a laughable presumption. The opposite would make more sense: Presume output of a computer is unreliable. Allow computers to be cross examined (through examining source code, interviewing developers and so on) and unless the hardware and software manufacturer can prove their systems' correctness, treat it as an unreliable witness.
Because it's a different approach than the welfare systems we have today. It's not the same thing. There are similar elements, but the structure is very different. The terminology difference helps reflect that they're different concepts.

ok and what of it? politicians are hyperbolic all the time. if you believe a politician can actually be a dictator in our country then you are the problem.

how about the marxist statement forcing a dictatorship so that socialism can be formed? was that said? is the left pushing for a dictatorship themselves? live in CA for some time before you answer that.

the left just twists and spins. i say this as an independent that wants both parties banned. stop twisting and spinning things so people stop trying to shoot presidents.
>No wonder they donated anonymously, what an insane law.

By contrast, where I live in Philadelphia, developers are not required to perform any archaeological studies before excavating - even along the Delaware River waterfront, where the oldest European settlements are, as well as countless indigenous sites.

Sometimes, before history gets scraped away and sent to the dump, bottle diggers will excavate the trash pits, typically discarding anything that's not 100% intact, and selling the 18th and 19th century bottles on eBay or at flea markets. However, like the axe heads in the article, these artifacts are absent context, removing nearly all historical value. And of course, the stratification of the pits they're extracted from is also destroyed, further reducing the ability to interpret any finds that might otherwise have been saved.

It's only projects paid for by our federal government that are required to do archaeological studies, and when they do, it's not uncommon to find early colonial artifacts, but also remnants of pre-contact Lenni-Lenape sites.

You only really get one shot at recovering history through archaeology. That doesn't mean that preservation holds permanent veto over progress, but a little bit of disincentivization can go a long way in the study of history.

Ultimately, NASA bought a part with a specified TID tolerance. Any manufacturer of space qualified parts keeps detailed records of lot acceptance testing as well as who purchased from that lot. The reps interfacing with NASA didn't necessarily need to know that there was a process change, but as soon as test failures below the datasheet spec were communicated from customers and confirmed, Infineon's quality department should have immediately reached out to NASA (or more specifically NASA's contractor working on the electronics).

I do think a tighter community would be a much better, universal part of a solution to the difficulties of being a parent in the modern day. Maybe another part of the solution is to have some "buffer" of humans in a community instead of economically pressuring everyone to be a part of the economy. Combine those two and you'll have a more fungible pool of labor that is willing to pitch in for whatever the collective needs. And being tightly integrated into your community probably has beneficial effects on mental health, crime, social harmony, etc.
It's been called blocking for decades, but sure, we can call it whatever you like. From my point of view, it's blocking because it blocks the emails from reaching me.
To the extent there are empirical studies demonstrating evolution, I and many creationists besides me believe them too.

Where the faith of evolutionists lies is in taking those studies showing the most minuscule changes then saying “look, small changes have occurred by random mutation. we know of no other mechanism by which anything might occur, therefore this is how everything was created! what, you don’t trust the science?? heresy!”
Show HN: Waywise – an iOS travel guide for any* city
Hi everyone

About a year ago I was travelling to Mexico for a trip and forgot to cancel my Duolingo trial (because of course I did), so accidentally committed myself to learning Spanish badly. My Spanish-speaking partner noticed that I'd been learning a slightly more latin version so it was a good thing I was going to Mexico, but it got me thinking: most translation apps/phrasebooks are one language-to-another language without much consideration for local dialects.

I'd been wanting to mess about and build a little side project so made an early prototype of a city-specific translation app using the GPT-4 API. After poking around the App Store I realised that the travel category was so saturated with AI-generated itinerary planners or tour guide resellers.

So one thing led to another and I decided to start from scratch and build an AI-augmented city guide app: Waywise. The idea being that I don't really want to "recommend" anything as such; I just want to surface useful information for travellers that will allow them to explore a city in their own way.

Some of the features:

Transport information - Detailed guides on airports and how to get into the city centre. Train and bus station and local public transit information.

Local language: Translations, colloquialisms, and a comprehensive phrasebook for all major spoken languages in the city.

Currency tips: Information on cash, cashless payments, stored value cards, tipping etiquette and a currency conversion tool.

Neighbourhood insights: Find the best places to stay, shop, party and explore the sights.

*Currently there are a handful of cities that I've verified the information for which are purchasable and downloadable for a one-off fee (all future updates included too), and the remainder are AI-generated. If there isn't a city guide available, subscribers can generate one for almost any city with a population of over 100,000.

There's scope to do lots more and I've been squeezing this in between client work so it's taken me the best part of a year to finally get out the door but any feedback would be super useful!

Cheers :)
My wife was a great example of this. She was an undergraduate math major, then went on to get her master's and PhD in engineering. The first year of the master's was largely remedial engineering courses - statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, controls, simple electrical circuits, etc.

I asked if she found them difficult. She quipped, "If you already know the math, it's just nomenclature."

> Near the moon’s equator, temperatures reach a blistering average of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) in daylight and plummet to minus 208 F (-133 C) at nightfall, according to NASA. The harsh temperatures have even dipped below minus 410 F (-246 C), as recorded by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

I was surprised by the range of temperature. I mean it makes sense but I guess I never thought about the temperature on the moon.

I can relate to the reasoning behind the law as otherwise defendants would be arguing about every single instance of computer evidence and most computer evidence (e.g. logs) is reliable to some degree. I think there needs to be a way to distinguish between simple computer evidence that is recording facts versus complex computer evidence that requires detailed knowledge of the software involved.
This is great! It will give a lot of flexibility to try out new APIs and continue with the best one.
>> It's not secret. It's out in the open and people who don't do it are looked at with scorn or dismissal.

Amongst the participants, it isnt secret -- you see all the other participants at the center weekly, or more. I think a lot of it is a class thing that runs side by side.

For the outsiders, it is a secret. I was part of a group in K12 that didnt even always have consistent nutrition. The Kumon kids were a strange breed -- folks who had money to "splurge" on "private" education.
To me story points, planning poker, scrum, and a bunch of other "agile" artifacts are funny concepts.

Making 4-5 highly paid professionals sit around in a circle with a bunch of cards trying to estimate how long/complex/??? the task is, writing it down, and doing that every two weeks, to dubious results, is exactly what one can expect out of today's businesses.

My guess is management doesn't trust that engineers aren't just fiddling around, so they hire a bunch of management-like people to watch over the drones, and show them who's in control. And how else you can show you are in control if you don't introduce magical rituals and tracking useless metrics, and make grown people participate? That way, all these meeting rooms can be occupied and the owners can feel like something important's happening and that they are getting their money's worth.
You've been downvoted, but the Seattle school system thinks math is racist

https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/seattle-schools-lea...
It is my belief that Agile arrived because it's the best way to work when managers, "architects", and programmers who cannot estimate, cannot communicate well, and don't have a good idea what are they they doing. After all, there is no point in daily standup if everyone can recognize they are stuck and ask for help; and there is no point in group planning if there is someone who knows the system and has a good idea about each team member's capabilities.

That problem is not going to disappear if you are moving into bureaucracy-heavy development process. OK, you've removed programmers from driving seat.. so who is going to be sitting there now? Some sort of "system architect", someone who does not program themselves, but somehow knows about all possible problems and can design great systems? What will happen to all the plans when one discovers that a database that architect mandated is full of bugs when used in the particular mode the project needs? Or the object store cannot perform fast enough and it's time to switch to distributed architecture?

I don't think PRIDE can work on new & innovative projects.. Sure, if your org is specializing in building identical e-commerce websites, or doing one ERP system after another, then by the 3rd time you'll know enough to be able to plan most of the thing and PRIDE maybe can make sense. But this niche is shrinking all the time - if there is really a need for many identical software projects, someone will make a SaaS and most customers will flock to it because of much lower price.

What is the racket? No one is forcing two income families.

That people like to be financially independent and they like quality of life with two incomes rather than one is simply people’s preferences.

The only caveat to this is governments restricting the building of denser housing, but that has nothing to do with two income families.

True. There's no solution to this that appeals to everyone. Personally, it wouldn't bother me at all to not know which message got "liked" (because "liking" something doesn't really say anything that important), but I can see how it could be important to others.
> Also I'd just like to point out that for everything but queries themselves, GraphQL uses JSON.

Most clients send queries as json too, actually, not gql source. The funny thing is that GraphQL doesn't even specify JSON, or any wire format at all. It just has to be able to encode the gql type system, and JSON "just happens" to work (I'm pretty sure they did have json in mind when they wrote it, but it still isn't baked into the spec). The spec is also silent on transport, I think the whole tunneling-everything-through-POST thing came from the reference implementation.

I was a late bloomer in almost every arena of my life. Developing social skills, having relationships, developing an identity independent of my family, etc. I'm also a late bloomer to mathematics.

I'm in my 30s and getting a bachelor's degree in Math now after a lifetime of math-phobia. Math was my worst subject because it never came easily or naturally to me, and so I assumed I must have been innately incapable of it. I didn't take a single math class during my first bachelor's degree.

I sure wish I could have learned math properly earlier in life, but my point with this comment is that it is never too late to learn math.

Learning mathematics "late" over the last couple of years has enriched my life in so many ways. Learning to write proofs has brought a sense of organization and calm to many other areas of my life. Complex problems and challenges in life feel so much more approachable, because I am much more skilled now in breaking down tasks to manageable components. I can see now how mathematics has influenced programming languages and computer science, and every time I can identify the mathematical underpinning of some program I use or write, I feel like I am peering into the heart of the universe.

Learning math early is a great hack, but so is learning math late :)
