I think you might be overestimating the number of people who could do this: "you could always get a job as long as you had a pulse and could name a programming language".

Gig work has been found to be intensely on the rise, with very little of the already meager protections of full time employment. Companies that basically run saas + employment marketplaces reduced their overhead and risk strategically by only hiring 'gig' workers. Most of these people, uber drivers, doordashers, thumbtackers, etc, etc cannot tell you whether an LLC is better for them than an SCorp, cannot navigate a defined benefit plan and cannot afford insurance, retirement, sick days, and so on. This was purposefully strategic and shared openly.

30 year mortgages are not recent, but their relationship to the average income has changed drastically in just two years. Educational debt has been on the rise for 20+ years. These honestly are all well documented.

People's expectations were that pensions would be replaced by 401ks, and retirement could start at 65. For many 65 means a job at walmart, sam's club, or other forms of low level employment.
I think the whole point is that the blue/green distinction is very subjective and may be culturally influenced for certain populations:

Hi, Jordan here. I've been doing Platform Engineering before it was a term people used. I've been the leader on big ambitious projects, and really difficult migrations/cleanup. I've worked at startups that were acquired, and run my own. I've done everything from infrastructure (including bare metal) all the way up to front end design. My biggest strength is helping organizations "grow up", and put friction in the right place to increase speed of delivery.

I'm not the GP you asked, but distilling my own personal organization practices into the alluring "Ten Tiny Tasks" title, here's my take on it:

- Make a list of the 10 tiniest tasks with the least amount of estimated effort you can find or think of that need to be done
- Maybe save task 10 for a super quick prioritizing of the other 9 tasks, or don't because they are tiny tasks, after all
- Complete the 10 tiniest tasks
- Repeat the process until there are no more tasks (of course, there are always more tasks)
I came to a similar conclusion about trying to learn popular layouts. I was always somewhat curious, but on a few occasions I had shooting pains down the back of my right hand, and I couldn't type or mouse with it for days.

I looked at Colemak (and the Tarmak training layouts) which seemed unnecessarily complicated, so I made my own transitional layout. First keeping most of the keys on the 'same fingers' but not necessarily same column as Qwerty (the P and R swap hands and O changes finger):

Q W D F {P} Y U K L ;
A S E T G H N I {R}[O]
Z X C V B J M , .

The transition was fairly painless, so I went down that rabbit-hole and ended up making what I call the Qwickly layout[0] (with QwickSteps training layouts)[1].

The final layout I'm using is:

Q W U D P Z H Y L ,
A S E T G F N I R O
K X C V J B M ; .

I can still type in Qwerty but I have to look at the keyboard for a while until the muscle memory kicks in again.

> you definitely do not need "ZKPs" to do this trivial task.

You haven't provided an alternative way though? If you're looking for more complicated things they can do see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41430157

> Yeah you can, you log them in then link them to that userData with an identifier - typically an email address or unique user ID. You can easily write the login API to know nothing but hashes, or you can write it to respond with - to use your example that user's age - if the password is correct (without ever actually knowing the password).

This doesn't make sense, how do you verify someones age without getting their birthday? Hashes are binary yes/no checks, not range checks.

> Anybody can verify any document with enough identifying information about the document and a registry to match it up to.

So your alternate solution is that every government in the world runs an API you can check a passport against? Instead of them just providing a known public key they signed the passport with? Sounds way over complicated compared to a ZK proof.
Read the About section before commenting (The middle button after the test finishes).
"Turing complete as long as you only use a polynomial number of steps in the size of the input" is another way of saying "not Turing complete" (doubly so when you look at the actual polynomials they're using). In fact, that paper just reaffirms that adding context doesn't improve formal expressive power all that much. And this is not equivalent to "well, Turing Machines are fake anyway because of finite space"--I can pretty trivially write programs in Coq, a total and terminating language, that will take far longer than the age of the universe to normalize but can be described in very little input.
Likewise. I think for me there's quite a wide band of colours in the middle that I consider to be "neither/either", so I'm basically just picking a random answer for those.

A modified version of the test that finds two boundaries (green/neither/blue) could be interesting.

Or maybe it just needs to take more samples, in a more random order.

Email: andrewtretteljobs at sent dot com. Please include information about the position when contacting me.

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I have also developed software for non-scientific purposes, like creating user interfaces for desktop applications. I have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.
What exactly is the value prop tho? To a technical person 1 business day wait seems dumb, but few businesses move that fast where waiting a single day matters.
The philosophical question is not dealing with the objective external reality;

It's a question of subjective experience - and that experience should be reflected in electrical activity.

Given the fact that the broad structure of the brain is largely shared across members of the species, similar stimulation should trigger similar activity in the same regions of the brain.

If the same colour triggers markedly different activities, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that the subjective experiences are not the same.
You're bullshitting. You thought I was talking about ghz radiation, then go back to microwaves once I clarify. But putting that aside...

Is the brain not more sensitive to non-macroscopically visible damage than the eye and skin? And have no skin and eye damage been found? Have people not reported visual disturbances?
You think peoples licenses / passports are little computers with API's built into them that return arbitrary information on demand? Over the internet?
I’m continuously surprised that people didn’t switch away when the Windows 10 telemetry and adware stuff landed.

Omg! A perfect time to share my story from before[1], where I lost a notebook at a big box store, and I had early on lumped the notebook in with greens, and thus described it as a "green notebook".

But some people, including the store employee that took my call, strongly felt it was clearly on the blue side and claimed not to have anything matching that description I only ever recovered it by going there in person and asking to see it.

(Fortunately, it had my name in it as a second check.)

a lot of people ditch the coffee for psilocybin

Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all
Except that’s literally not how humans are wired or develop - even nerve paths and other fine grained details in our bodies show significant divergence, and there are major macro level differences readily apparent even based on gender, color blindness, etc.

Honestly, it would be shocking if it were even a little true beyond ‘frontal cortex’ levels of granularity. And even then, Phineas Gage type situations make it clear that may not actually be required either.

And that means completely different individual activity can trigger similar subjective experiences as much as similar activity can trigger different subjective experiences, no?

I don't think that's necessary for an informal test. Human color perception is extremely good at compensating for that and modern screens are relatively uniform and uniform besides. Cultural differences like the person downthread saying they consider anything with the slightest hint of green to be "green" seem far more impactful.
I don’t know if this is compatible with your use case, but as a working scientist interested in my sub field and those adjacent, I subscribe to email alerts from publishers (all nonprofit scientific societies with the exception of Nature). There are both table of contents emails and keyword-based emails. Not sure if RSS feeds are available. If you’re wanting to do some automated parsing, you might need a dedicated email address (and of course access through a university library or similar).
Sega CD used this technique a lot to fake 3D environments. Silo here is a great example of a game that looks like it could be a real time 3D game, but it cleverly interweaves FMV with sprites.
This is a prime example of the fallacy where a "conceptual model" is considered reality. Humans always have created many models/abstractions to understand things around us but that doesn't mean that reality is those models/abstractions.
> People's expectations were that pensions would be replaced by 401ks, and retirement could start at 65.

And that's kind of the rub: I don't think people's expectations were that 401k plans would replace pensions; I think employer's expectations were this and the individual worker was sold a false bill of goods.

From what I know (I wasn't economically active when this change happened), the original push for 401k plans came from a desire to lessen the taxable earnings of highly-paid bank executives when we had a much higher top margin tax rate in the United States. As there's also no requirement that employers match employee contributions to 401k--or that matched contributions be available to the employee immediately--employers could almost overnight relieve themselves of the "burden" of pension contributions.

(Not that pensions are, especially today, some magic elixir. Look at how many pensions have had to go to the public assistance well after they were either mismanaged, undercontributed, or both/more by the sponsoring employer.)

Thus we've wound up in this system where, like many things in the US, everyone loses except the people who got there first (or the people who are already very well-resourced).

Generally speaking, with caveats like always exist in life:

If you're roughly 65 or older, you probably held at least one job where you have an employer pension so that plus Social Security means you're probably doing pretty well.

If you're roughly 50 or older and in a union, you have the same thing but with a smaller pension proviso, assuming you weren't able to (and didn't, if you were able to) buy out your pension into a 401k.

People late 40s to 50s are about the age where they lost the benefit of pensions and are fully on the hook for savings if or when they want to stop working but didn't get the full run of having a 401k. They will be looking largely to Social Security and hope.

People in their early 40s to 30s and younger are asking what they're being taxed for and are facing a job market where even more jobs are piecework or lack benefits, alongside massive hikes in the costs of living where there are jobs so saving is even harder.

Yet somehow a US worker is more productive than ever. Those gains are all going somewhere, and it looks like we're all slowly figuring out where...and as a society we don't like it.
I recommend filing a complaint with the FTC and your state’s Attorney General, and indicate it is dark pattern related.
If you're someone like Musk, then attention is one of the most valuable assets you can get. If you can capture someone's attention, you can influence their thoughts. You can shape their perceptions. Even if what you share is outright false, once an idea is planted it becomes part of someone's mental landscape and with enough effort even their reality. Musk's acquisition of Xitter, supposedly in the name of free speech, and its degradation into a cesspool of violent, right-wing extremist, and downright pornographic posts gives a hint of just how Elon wants everyone to think of the world (even when it's not like that).

>> These sorts of tests also need to be done in controlled background lighting. Whether people are doing this in a dark room, in a sunny kitchen, or under green led lighting would be a greater factor than anything being tested.

Whether its a dark room or sunny kitchen, i'm not sure whether Turquoise is ever going to be blue or green. The entire question seems more like wordplay.
you bring up psychology, then completely botch it, just as the study did.

>sometimes the interiority-centric framework of psychology seems comically ill-fit for topics like this...thus, people who are long-term unemployed likely feel that they lack control of their lives because this is true.

you and the study are not controlling for people who feel they lack control of their lives tending to do a poorer job of finding work, and even doing a poorer job of keeping a job; people whose self esteem is more fragile being more likely to lose their jobs, reinforcing their negative self images: but that's not unemployment doing it (the study does hedge a lot by saying "associated" as if they are not suggesting cause).

I'll bet if they had done a Big 5 Factor analysis of the samples in the study we would see lots of clustering, a much more interesting result than what the study found, and Big 5 Factor results are not known to change as the result of unemployment.
Greppability is an underrated code metric
> If you can reduce the number of F350s we sell, we can reduce the amount of iron ore we're consuming, the size of the ships carrying it, the trucks that haul the mining equipment etc.

But you want to optimize the thing where you get the most bang for your buck.

The heavy side of the most popular SUVs aren't based on the F-350, they generally weigh around 4500 pounds vs. 3500 pounds for the lighter end, the latter being around the same as the average mid-sized sedan. Cutting 30% off of a one-time cost for something that will have a 20-year lifespan is generally not going to be the best place to optimize.

Compare this to, say, introducing mixed-use zoning so people can live closer to their jobs and drive fewer miles. This not only reduces fuel consumption on an ongoing basis, it makes cars last longer because they have fewer miles on them and then you don't need to manufacture as many, and it has direct human benefits because people spend less time stuck in traffic and drive fewer miles with risk of traffic fatalities.
First off, this is creative and you did a great job of writing it up and explaining the benefits to your approach. And I think it is a good idea in extremely early stages of a software product because as you mention, it’s a quick way to get something up and running.

Unfortunately, the longer into the project you are, the more brittle that connection becomes. You’re tightly coupling a process to the state of the database at time of build. When you do that, you create a situation where your customers can kill your code.

So fundamentally, when you integrate directly, you create a situation where your customers’ engineers control how reliable your software can be. They likely won’t fess up when they break your tool so the problems will come back to you.

I know that sounds a lot like typing ‘npm install’ or ‘building an API’ but in this case, you’re handing the keys over to your customers. At best, it will cause reliability problems. At worst, it will add friction to a sales process. As companies scale and sales gains power, that can become a career issue for you. As a rule, it’s better to have difficult technical decisions when you’re employed than difficult financial decisions when you’re not.

So good writing and excellent analysis. But if you choose to go down that path, at some point in the future, I feel like that integration will become someone’s headache.

If you have to do it, it would be worth documenting that the customer in this case won’t provide proper access through an API. That’s a good reason to do something like this because that’s quite unreasonable of the customer. If they’re unwilling to provide API access, I feel like they’re just as unlikely to provide a read replica so aside from the integration’s brittleness, your queries have to be rock solid or you could slow down prod.

It’s all risky and you have a big decision to make. Good luck and have fun.
If that were the case then there's no way that they'd be able to extract images from people's neural activity, and yet they've started doing that very thing.
