I thought the explicit goal of AI was to create systems that can do tasks that typically require human intelligence. That includes beneficial things like finding cures for diseases, technology innovation, etc … Wouldn’t it be a shame to limit this growth potential to protect friggin’ YouTubers?

Maybe go after the application, not the technology? Someone uses AI to explicitly plagiarize an artist’s content? Sure, go ahead & sue! But limiting the growth potential of a whole class of technology seems like a bad idea, a really bad idea actually if your military enemy had made that same technology a top priority for the next years …

I hope we see this kind of exploration with Unison, which is stored as an AST in a database and not as text.

Of course you could just take existing text from a codebase and reformat it for viewing, but then there's this ambiguity about which version is real that you'd have to deal with.

In Unison it's understood that none of the text is real, it's only the resulting AST and its hash that matters, so if you're seeing text at all you know it's just for your benefit in that moment. It's such a cool idea.
So the teens are rebellious when convenient to label them as such, and sheeps when convenient otherwise?

They are adults choosing their life's course. They are not children. They have responsibility to think for themselves, and to accept the consequences of their choices.

college debt is crushing because they chose to have it. They could've gotten into apprenticeships instead, or a community college which costs less.

There are opportunities in high school to discover whether studying higher education is for them. The parents also have a role to play here - paying for extracirricular activities to test out or discover their child's talents and interests (which, of course, is only affordable for the wealthier parents - a form of inequality of opportunity, and have nothing to do with blinding going to college at any cost).

So no, i do not agree that the "children" are not to blame.

> Almost nobody here lives off tourism

You don’t need to be directly receiving tourist dollars to benefit economically from tourism. Tourism can inject a significant amount of money into the local economy, which then circulates and supports business and employment outside of tourism.

(Of course, not all tourism is equal. Day visitors from cruise lines spend little money onshore, for example.)

Not reasonably enough. I decided to stop buying eggs from Cal-Maine Foods after they were repeatedly caught price gouging/fixing. At one point early in the pandemic their profits were up 718% from last quarter. Their supply chain wasn't impacted and at the time there hadn't been a single positive test for avian flu at any of their facilities. (https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/California-lawsuit-al...) Their profits soared at a time when a lot of Americans were unable to work and were having trouble just paying rent and keeping bills paid.

It took some searching, including through their financial statements over the years, but I managed to get pretty long list of brands they supply and/or distribute for. I've got a list of brands to avoid, but I still can't be confident that other brands seen in stores are totally unaffiliated. As consumers we can only do our best though. If you can find a local farm with chickens, that's probably your best bet.
I have a better idea: not even once.
> I think frankly it's immoral to the student and the taxpayer that an 18-year-old can go through school and graduate with hundreds of thousands in debt and no realistic way of paying it off.

That's actually pretty hard to do if you go to good public university or a reasonably high rated private non-profit university. The latter do have sticker prices that could total to over $100k for an undergraduate degree, but they also tend to have pretty generous non-loan based financial aid.

Getting into hundreds of thousands in student debt usually requires going on to law school or medical school. The average Harvard Law graduate for example in 2022 had $143k of debt. The average Harvard medical graduate had $103k. Harvard is actually unusually low for medical school. The average debt at public medical schools is about 40% higher, and the average debt at other private medical schools is a little higher than that.

Here's average undergraduate debt at graduation for the class of 2022 at a bunch of schools [1].

I've heard of people who could have gotten into a top science or engineering school but didn't even apply because they thought that they could not afford it or would have to take out $100k+ in loans when in fact they would have have been offered either a non-loan aid package or a package with only $20-30k total loans over 4 years.

They knew that there was generous aid to students whose families have sufficiently low income, but just assumed that the threshold was somewhere around the poverty level. It is often much higher than that. At MIT for example students from families with incomes and typical assets under $140k are not charged tuition. $140k household income is 76th percentile in the US. (Household income below $75k, which is 50th percentile gets room and board waived).

In fact, the shuttle, in particular the payload bay dimensions, was designed around a particular generation of spy satellites. Said spy satellites, the KH-11 KENNEN, were very much used as a model for the Hubble Space Telescope. A derivative on the KH-11, code named Misty, did launch on the space shuttle. A total of 11 NROL missions launched on the shuttle.

That demographic theory seems a bit feeble. According to the polling back in 2015 there was a slight bias but splitting by politics painted the same picture in a with minor adjustments. Then there was a massive realignment where suddenly the right wing "lost confidence". It isn't obvious why less-educated individuals would have no confidence in education either. That is like saying less-physically-endowed people don't respect height or muscle mass! People can respect what they do not have if it is respectable, and they can have confidence in things they personally lack if they are things inspiring confidence.

Although what the word "confidence" means here is a baffler. It is beyond vague.

Higher education is not a great filter anymore. Everyone goes to college - and most students simply don’t have the fundamental intelligence for it to mean much. Colleges have also changed - there are large numbers of activist degrees that seem to not really be serious fields. People get degrees in such fields that aren’t economically valuable and then struggle in the job market. If you’re studying something that personally interests you but isn’t useful to others (as the job market suggests), aren’t you just doing a hobby?

And then there’s all the cultural stuff. Colleges are political mono cultures, and increasingly have abandoned liberal values like free speech for an authoritarian, violent attitude towards any view other than the progressive left. In other words, they lack diversity. Maybe not by skin color or whatever but certainly of ideas. Same with faculty.

The issue is you're not "making up" anything. One group had a syphilis rate of 30%, about an order of magnitude higher than everybody else. Race, to me, is simply another group, and should be treated as such. So imagine if it turned out that blondes had had a syphilis rate an order of magnitude higher than everybody else. Would it have fundamentally changed things? I don't think so. And indeed at such point we would likely have all sorts of colorful quotes about blondes. Is that hairism, or now somehow not a grave offense because it's a different group?
Seriously!

Higher education is personally very challenging and not how people were designed. Even those with some standard deviation above the mean aren't meant to study books all day.

This becomes evident now that there is more and more instant gratification around slot machines disguised as social apps.

It is not about a student loan but about investing hundreds of hours of intellectually challenging work, either stressful (unstructured learning) or highly disciplined (planned learning).

In earlier years, say the 1990s and 2000s, there was no FOMO. Going to university was work—white-collar work. You were either qualified to take this route or not, and degrees were needed to enter specific job markets, mostly better paid and without physical demands on your work besides sitting.

When the bachelor's degree was somewhat democratized, the baseline sank: differentiation was gone, and a degree was no longer exceptional.

Now, you face the question of why you should invest years into education that "There is an app for this" can handle within milliseconds. The old funnel of education towards more yield took a hit.
That's not actually a thing? I specifically moved away from Nvidia because

1) they choose (chose?) not to supprt standard display protocols that Wayland compositors target with their drivers (annoying, but not the end of the world)

2) they cryptographically lock users out of writing their own drivers for their own graphics cards (which should be illegal and is exactly contradictory to "that's not actually a thing").

Again: look into why the Nouveau driver performance is limited.

Top 10 colleges are a completely different game. Nobody needs to go to a top 10 university.

It’s a game for the most competitive to play. It’s not equivalent to higher education in general.
I have had the opposite evolution. As I get more senior they seem increasingly silly.
Without looking anything up, I did not find that phrase confusing ..

"From ancient grudge break to new mutiny"

My immediate read is that the two houses have an ancient grudge, and there will be a change in status involving mutiny, in this case the love between Romeo and Juliette(their houses are enemies so you could see this as a form of mutiny).

Who can say if this is what Shakespeare meant, but the phrase didn't seem hard to follow at all, I didn't have to think about it.
> The core of math, as GP mentioned, is learning proofs.

That is the midpoint, the core goal of math is getting enough intuition that facts are obvious, the proofs are just a guide to get you there.

This means you shouldn't study proofs, you should study facts, the proofs are just an example of how to support that fact, you can prove things in many different ways and also many things can be constructed in many different ways and still have the same properties. All of that is much easier when you think in terms of facts instead of proofs.

If you struggle with proving something then you don't understand it. If you memorize a proof for it, then you still don't understand it. The right path to take is to build understanding and then the proofs comes on their on.
The specific form in question is basically sqrt(any quartic). Seems like almost all of these will be able to be expressed in terms of elliptic integrals and that's it. Outer post summarizes this just fine.

A Brief Review of BunsenLabs Linux
Issues with by MBP (M1) are almost always memory related. The Activity Monitor is my friend to find out which processes are hogging precious memory across my seven virtual desktops.

My biggest win was with Firefox (with lots of windows and tabs open to allow quick context switching between projects) when I discovered the "Auto Tab Discard" extension which frees up memory for inactive tabs.

My Activity Monitor Memory Pressure is mostly green now.

Last time, pre covid, I had an on site coding interview with BigCo.
Interviewer asked to write an algorithm to find the biggest rectangle you can make from a list of lines.
I immediately stood up, and went to a drawing board in the conference room we were sitting. He was baffled, and asked me back to the desk to the computer.
I told him my initial thoughts on the algorithm and started sketching the algorithm in vs code that was presented on the laptop.
He quickly jumped in, removed my `for` loops and pointed at the first line of the file, import lodash, and told me to use it.
I said I'm not familiar with the libarary, but I'm happy to continue with the solution. We talked about it for a while, and I explained my approach at length, while not being able to reach the keyboard.
After that, he started typing his solution on my computer using `function programming` and lodash.
After we agreed that the general idea is pretty much the same I asked him what is the computational complexity of his solution, pointing out that using a lot of map/reduce/list may not be the optimal approach.
He looked at me, at the code at it was obvious that he genuinly had no clue.
We finished the interview few minutes later and to my surprise I was moved one notch up the ladder to the next interview.

I have 25yoe and conducted close to thousand interviews. My secret sauce is to ask broad questions and let the candidate draw the map of areas where he pictures himself as competent, and then drill down, with a series of questions.
As an employer, team leader or engmgr I don't need a compiler or savant, I need a teamplayer that is confident within his domain and not afraid to say he doesn't know.
I've been on both side of the fence, so I know it's not easy to say you don't know during the interviewm, but the bottom line is that most of the time if you don't know something you can easily look it up on the internet or even ask your teammates during a coffee break. What I fear the most is the guy who fears to say he doesn't know and tries to keep his face.

EDIT: part of where it comes from is my first serious day job, a big international startup (still running) which opened a small office in my hometown. We had a guy who, for three weeks, was coming to the office, sitting in front of his computer, looking busy, staring at the code, clapping at the keyboard, making some noise, and... after three weeks it turned out he didn't even started his task, because he didn't knew how to open a connection to the database.
Not a corp, just a small 6 body shop, but he played his role perfectly.
Dogs puts excrements everywhere: parks, streets, even restaurants and grocery stores. This society loves poop!

Edit:
Many people do not collect their poop. Or leave it behind on fence wrapped in thin bag. And most just pick up like 70% and leave rest. And diarrhoea is just smeared thin all over the floor.

But by "excrements" I also mean urine. And small bits that fall from exposed dirty but-holes, like when dog sits down, and leaves brown marks on white seat.
I don't know if that gels with my personal experience visiting China about 5 years ago. I didn't find the Chinese public to be particularly athletic as a general rule and they didn't seem particularly sport oriented.

Walking up a mountain, the public seemed generally unfit in comparison to Australia?
Which is particularly crazy because there isn't very much of an earnings premium for going to a top 10 college vs a "rest of the world" college. The big gap is between high school grads and college grads, not between graduates of more or less prestigious colleges.
College has a positive ROI in most cases, despite the high price tag.

There are exceptions like the people with useless $200K degrees working at coffee shops, but you have to ignore a lot of common sense to get that far. For most people, college really does have a positive ROI.
Thanks for your feedback!
I think an EDA tool is much harder too implement.

1. Drag and drop is a really useful feature! Thanks for your advice. I use it everyday and not notice the annoying.
2. Automatic wire routing is a feature I try to improve in the future.

4. Wire interconnection is an issue. I will think more about how to represent it.

Overall, thanks you very much. You feedback is really useful for me.

I'm curious how it handles call/cc. I at least think you would have to make your own continuation stack, unless there's some way to get at the internals of unwind-protect that would make doing it natively possible.
So what about all the other services that aren't monopolies?
But why bother? The moment you start doing all that, all the arguments of "oh look how much i can solve with my cool oneliner" goes away. The python version of that code is not only safe by default, it's also shorter and actually readable. Finally it is a lot more malleable, in case you need to process the data further in the middle of it.

resp = requests.get(url)
resp.raise_for_status()
prop = resp.json()["data"]["someProp"]

I'm sure there is something about the jq [] operator i am missing but whatever. An iteration there would be a contrived use case and the difficulty to understand it on a glance just proves I'm not interested. As someone else mentioned, both curl and jq requires some extra flags to not ignore errors, i can't say if that was intentional or not. It would either way be equally easy to solve.
this is a really well written summary. Thank you!

It’s sad that as an electorate, as a people, (even the democrats), show a lowering of “confidence” in higher ed. It means experts and scientists get ridiculed. It’s disgusting and sad.

Is this a harbinger of a failing empire? I think so.
It's not a question of how gracefully the person behind the wheel handles it. There is a certain moral expectation and minimum standard of handling, and this expectation is more often than not enforced by law and/or threat of civil suit, sometimes with severe penalties for deviating from expectation. That legal framework exists precisely because individuals cannot be trusted to handle it properly.

The natural set of incentives does not work well with human psychology. It does not prevent mishandling of motor vehicles, or at least fails to prevent it in enough cases that additional disincentives are needed, to ensure the safety of the public.

Stated another way: Enough people are bad enough drivers that we need laws and civil liability to create additional incentives against bad driving. The threat of collision, property damage, injury, or death to oneself, passengers, and people outside the vehicle is clearly not sufficient.

Driving is actually a great analogy, but maybe not for the reason you intended. If we relied only on individuals to act responsibly, the roads would be much more dangerous than they currently are.
