Under end-stage capitalism, the one and only thing driving the market is maximal extraction of all conceivable value within a financial quarter. There are no other concerns. The market inherently cannot consider any other consequences or benefits beyond short term gains at any cost.
> But the best students don’t want to attend them

Admissions at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD is near Stanford level for in-demand programs like EECS and Business, and plenty of us Ivy and Ivy-adjacents didn't get into a UC or didn't get Regents (thus potentially making an Ivy Adjacent cheaper).

My sibling is much younger, and in their time (late 2010s/early 2020s), admission stats to CS or Business even in "middling" (imo criminally underrated) UCs like UCR or UCSC became comparable to UCB barely a decade ago.
It's on the user side of the airtight hatchway, that's good enough. If you could read my browser history you could read this and vice versa.

Hi, It's Teddy here.

With new models constantly coming out. I always tried the new models, but wasn't always sure that I was getting better results.. So I decide to built this app to help me compare the answers of multiple models at once.
> The call-by-meaning solution is to refer to functions (processes, etc) not by their name, but by what they do.

This seems like call by an even longer, more difficult to use name.

And it would seem to rely on a common language to describe functions/methods, which clearly we don't have or everyone would use the same names for things that do the same thing already.
IMHO (from the viewpoint of a neuroscientist) the biological inspiration is quite measured and restrained in his work…

The problem he was proposing we solve is computing with heterogenous “machines”. This doesn’t preclude the regimented organization you are favoring, above.

> The whole idea of winning an argument is a kind of weird normie thing, a sportsball game with words, which is fine as entertainment, but problematic when it gets confused for reasoning about things.

Arguments as soldiers. Win at any cost, doesn't matter if what's said now contradicts what came before.

I didn't know about the idea until someone else explained it to me; talking about it with my much older brother, he had noticed it spontaneously.
Yeah? That is an opinion I don’t share but you are free to have it.
Is there something to be said for “consumable” deep water off shore ports for contents that are “sensitive” like this?

Diplomatically one can say “yes you can dock here and unload cargo, but we demand that it be off shore and away from otherwise sensitive infrastructure”

This would allow such cargo to be offloaded safely in desperate circumstances while still maintaining the integrity of key infrastructure.
Its a solved problem, unless youre at FAANG scale, you can just use cloud solutions to build distributed systems. Use their NO SQL dbs, queues, serverless functions, etc.
The problem is that the ShadowDOM is sort of the real View, and the CustomElement (judging it by its methods), is kind of a mix of a View and a Controller.

Perhaps I should try making my controllers the HTMLElement subclasses, instead of my views. My gripe remains: the best approach is not obvious.
"Fast" is meaningless.

A SLOG needs to have: good throughput and low latency at a queue depth of 1.
I suppose a root cause of sorts is that for the first time in millennia there is a surplus of ambitious people with the means to pay for education, but a shortage of adequate warm bodies to teach. This in turn means top universities can provide a low quality course taught by outsourced teachers and know it will sell regardless.

I'm not sure how you fix it. There's only so many people who are smart and want to teach. It doesn't help that teaching doesn't pay well, but paying more only sort of helps: there would be a greater supply of teachers, but surely paying more can't make it cheaper.
Not really true. Please also consider the case where the user and the attacker are one and the same person trying to reverse-engineer your mobile API. Then the certificate is misissued from the viewpoint of the app developer but not from the user's viewpoint.
It's a libraries vs frameworks thing. Libraries are relatively safer.

Frameworks in C# are slightly better (compared to those on JS), because there are blessed Frameworks and most people are using them. In the JS world, you can see very popular frameworks (with millions of downloads) get abandoned. Not saying that all is well in the .Net world; desktop frameworks are an example. But overall it's a bit different because one company more or less controls it.
"Efficiency" meaning, given some input cost, reducing the loss of applying that cost, toward some measured outcomes. High efficiency implies something about each of those three stages, none of which are reasonable to apply in all situations:

1. That the only input to the system is cost/money (or proxies of that, like compensated human time). Put another way: That the model you're working with is perfectly liquid, and you don't need to worry about fundamental supply constraints.

2. That the loss is truly loss, and there isn't some knock-on effects from that loss which might range from generally beneficial and good, to actually being somewhat responsible for the output metric, and your model is measuring the wrong thing.

3. That the output metric correctly and holistically proxies for the real-world outcomes you desire.

Using the example from the article on standardized testing: A school administration might make an efficiency argument by comparing dollars spent to standardized test scores.

* Dollars isn't the only input to this system, however; two major ones also include the quality of teachers and home life of the students. Increasing the spend of the system might do nothing to standardized test scores if these two qualities also can't be improved (you might make the argument that increasing dollars attracts better teachers, and there's some truth to this, but generally (even in tech) these two things just aren't strongly correlated; many organizations have forgotten what it even means to be "good at your job" and how to screen for quality in interviews. When organizations lose that, no amount of money can generate good hires because the litmus test doing the hiring is bad).

* "Loss" in this system might be the increase of funding without seeing proportionally increasing test scores; which does not account for spending money in extracurriculars like music, art, and sports; all generally desirable things we believe money should be spent on (isn't it interesting that we call these things "extra"curriculars?).

* Even if a school administration can apply this model to increase test scores, increasing test scores might not be an outcome anyone really wants. As the article says, all that guarantees is a generation of great test-takers. Increasing college acceptance rates? We've guaranteed a generation of debtors and bad degrees. Turns out, its impossible to proxy for the real world thing you want, in a way that can be measured on a societal level.

All of this is really just symptoms of the "financialization of everything", which has been talked about endlessly. In particular to this discussion, society has broadly forgotten about what the word "service" means; that public transit in your city must be a capitalistic enterprise, it itself has an efficiency metric that must be internally positive, because the broader positive efficiency impact that public transit network has on the people and businesses in the city, and thus municipal tax income, is too complex to account for within a more unified economic model.
That's not how burden of proof works.

5000€ average would seem about right if it was pre tax & social security -- perhaps OP got these confused and it's actually the pre-tax income.
Deface? ... I'd call it a minor inconvenience in reality (come on, I effetively agree with a lot of what you say, but let's call a spade a spade at least)

As for the rest of it ... I don't know, it seems you're either not equipped for this, or you've forgotten what you've written. Either way, best to end this here.
I don’t like Disqus! It’s too bloated.

What do you mean by putting it on Cloudflare?
You would need to connect wires to that little 40 um^2 mote to do anything, though, which in practice makes the rigid places needing strain relief a lot larger.
Think about it. A “meaning” in this usage is definitely not a longer name.
With webcomponents you are pretty close to the “metal”. If you know how to write good vanilla JavaScript, you can take most of that knowledge into webcomponents. You only need to learn the custom components lifecycle, and shadowDOM, which is knowledge about web-standards. With other frameworks you need to learn template syntaxing, how state propagates, how the compiler works, etc etc. Lot of that knowledge might be obsolete in 10 years.

Which isn’t to say it can’t be worth it. Learning multiple frameworks and libraries is also very helpful to skill up because you are learning about different concepts and implementations.
Sports betting is a negative EV zero-sum game motivated by an addiction, for a significant fraction of the population.

Investment in equities is principally a non-zero-sum positive EV game motivated by rational expectations for preservation and growth of wealth.

The fact that some financial actors have very good sharpe ratios or dominate capture of trading profits on millisecond horizons isn’t a significant detriment to the larger good resulting from retail investment.
Possibly. I wouldn't know. It's possible you don't either.
> if you're young and good at technology...

> ... but if you want to become super rich, and you're young and good at technology, working on what you're most interested in becomes a good idea again.

It's sad to me that the wealth inequality manifested and upheld by the current structure of capitalism, that people like Graham full throatily endorse, creates this mentality.

"If you're young" is a euphemism for "if you are free from the necessities of responsibility, and so are able to forego the lack of consistent income (and if you're in the states, a lack of employer provided health care".

pg, encourage the companies you give money to pay an equal portion of profits to their employees, and maybe even the "olds" can be free do what they love; rather than the fear induced indentured servitude currently so predominant.

May even give us better products and solutions, or as you say, allow people to do actual "great work".
Yes! It’s horrible! I wish I could figure out a way. Does Recaptcha by google work?
I'm not following you. The way pinning (specifically HPKP) works is that you're supposed to use a valid WebPKI certificate, so the initial connection works, and then you send a header to pin that certificate (or more likely it's CA).
I see a lot of comments here to the effect "but it's easier to just do it in CAD in the first place" -- those are experts speaking. Imagine being a newcomer to CAD, the learning curve is quite steep. Compared to mastering the complex UI and workflows of a CAD problem, a text-based approach seems much easier.

I can see this being incorporated into existing software as an alternate workflow path.

What caught my curiosity here is the "sequential" qualifier. One massive weakness of all the AI content generation schemes is the lack of editability -- you get what you get, and attempts to refine the initial results are middling at best. This seems like it allows the user to build a more complex scene from multiple prompts -- likely meaning you can go back and edit some of the prompts to tweak the building blocks, and edit the overall scene. Interesting!

Step 1: spin out all your suppliers into their own companies

Step 2: use pricing power to force your suppliers to cut corners in order to survive.

Step 3: claim plausible deniability for the scores of suppliers giving you substandard parts. Roll in your money while telling the rest of the world you couldn’t have done anything differently.
In 1993, the price of a non-functional lunar rover was $68,500.

That's how much Richard Garriott (son of astronaut Owen Garriott, creator of the Ultima game series, and after that, private astronaut that spent 12 days at the ISS) spent to purchase the rights to Lunokhod 2 and the Luna 21 lander.

Game downloads can be tens of GiB per day, and are only growing. Multiple 4K streams can add up. I wouldn't be surprised if folks are saturating links during prime time hours.
This is also why the "computer science" label (until now) never really made sense for traditional programming; you start from an intention to reach a goal, and contrive a system that can achieve it, generally understanding the means by which it is accomplished from end to end—or at least you have the option of zooming in from a given level of abstraction to a lower one to work out how the pieces fit together there and play their part in getting us where we're aiming at the highest level. Science isn't that. Science is what humanity has to resort to when a thing is not knowable by other means—the preferred from for modification is not at hand. Generally, when someone is doing something akin to science where traditional software development is concerned, it's regarded as sloppy—that you need to stop goofing around and actually do the work of understanding and reasoning about what you're dealing with instead of poking at it and making observations and inferences.

This is different now with black box systems like LLMs and other neural networks (transformer-based or not) that we don't understand because they were never actually designed from a blueprint that lends itself to an understanding by others that approaches the understanding of the originator(s).

There's an argument to be made that our avoidance of systems that call for actual science and our attraction to focusing on the smaller subset consisting of grokkable systems, out of a larger set of possible ones, is an indication of immaturity. It's parochial and blinkered. We are big fish in a small pond.

cloudflare continues to destroy the free web, this time around they are gaslighting you into thinking that an extremely important security feature, that happens to break cloudflare mitm is actually useless and outdated and there's all kinds of solutions, that incidentally all rely on trusting cloudflare, that you should be using instead.
I agree the tax-free childcare form could certainly be improved (I've even written a script to do the three-monthly reconfirmation for me, see my latest gist, though that's policy rather than tech!), but you can set up payments for the same day, you put today's date in (that is what I do; it gives a "You've asked for a payment of £x to be made to [site] today" extra confirmation step). There's nothing in the service manual page that says they couldn't enhance this form with a button as you're suggesting, and hopefully one day they will, though you're always actually worrying it could get worse...

How exactly can you "remove" the profit motive without outright taking control of private educational institutions?

If you want public education to become more affordable, then standards must be raised and it must become more scarce.
In the US we have a long history of claiming that leaks are fabricated but I can’t think of a single one that actually has been. They just lie about it and then after the election admit they were lying.

Exact thing happened with wikileaks Hillary email leak and the Hunter Biden laptop.
Industrial fertilizer can (and is) used to make bombs. Sometimes accidentally, see Beruit.

Since it's so dangerous and rife for abuse, we shouldn't allow anyone to use it despite the obvious benefits, right?

This is fear mongering and nothing more.
There is still a boatload of junk literature, but if you dig there is ten lifetimes worth of good stuff. I will never read it all. New good stuff is always being published too, but like music you have to dig.

I like to read a mix of new material from good up and coming authors and classics on my backlog.
> The comac airliner also directly competes with Boeing's beleaguered 737

Thanks but I'll take my chances on a MAX.

Do you know what happens when a Chinese-built plane crashes in China? There is no fancy congressional inquiry, no lawsuits, no crying families on TV. No, they hose off the crash site and put them in unmarked graves and build a shoddily-constructed apartment building over top of it. Maybe the pilot's family is jailed and never heard from again. Pretend it never happened and life over there continues as usual.
I've yet to see this go wrong in practice. The kinds of components that are worth publishing as web components are often large, non-trivial components. Eg media libraries, emoji pickers (like the one made by this article's author), chatboxes, and so on. They are the kinds of things you only have a limited number of on your page. They're also the kinds of things where application code tends to be much bigger than the framework (except if the framework is React).

On the other hand, if a component is small and focused in scope, it's likely either written in vanilla JS (like https://shoelace.style/), or made for a single framework (like the average React infinite scroll component).

In other words, I don't think you're wrong, but I do think you're prematurely optimizing a problem that doesn't really exist in reality. And the cost is big: if you get your way, every component author needs to either lock themselves into a single framework's users, or make 7-8 different versions of their component. I'd argue that that's much more wasteful than a few kb extra framework JS.
Students care more about the university's name on the certificate than who is teaching the course.
This has become a societal problem in Sweden during the past 20 or so years.

1: Healthcare efficiency is measured by "completed tasks" by primary care doctors, the apparatus is optimized for them handling simple cases and they thus often do some superficial checking and either send one home with some statistically correct medicine (aspirin/antibiotics) or punt away cases to a specialized doctor if it appears to be something more complicated.

The problem is that since there's now fewer of them (efficient) they've more or less assembly line workers and have totally lost the personal "touch" with patients that would give them an indication on when something is wrong. Thus cancers,etc are very often diagnosed too late so even if specialized cancer care is better, it's often too late to do anything anyhow.

2: The railway system was privatized, considering the amount of cargo shipped it's probably been a huge success but the system is plagued by delays due to little gaps in the system to allow late trains to speed up or to even do more than basic maintenance (leading to bigger issues).
so all of economics, basically.

a mitigating argument for mathiness is that we use math to describe shapes and relationships we can't physically see, and how do you contruct an analogy for a dynamic between factors (or narrative elements) without using changing quantities?

Is the analogy a useful abstraction, or does it provide consistency with lower or higher levels of abstraction, or have external consistency with the rest of maths? Probably not, but as an application that is sufficient for its purposes, some mathiness enables people to separate the things they talk about from just their personal animal interests.

Sure, some people want more from the math, and economics is a great gateway to math because it's probably one of the most sophiticated systems of bullshit ouside string theory, and it provokes the desire for rigour.

Math isn't evidence, it's the lens, and you can reject mathiness in anything by just declining to accept that lens.
I started thinking about this a year ago. Unraid works great for me. Just bought another 32tb to extend to 104tb usable space, 8gb to 20gb drives. It’s a JBOD with dual parity setup, next upgrade path requires a disk shelf but hopefully that won’t be for a couple of years.
It is absolutely a money thing. If Apple didn't have to worry about the commercialization of MacOS, then they could publish the driver code so Windows and Linux clients could offer support theoretically "forever".

They do not publish the drivers though, which means groups like Asahi have to waste their life-hours reverse-engineering for sustainability purposes.
Just wondering if anyone considered using Postgres or another relational db. I understand it won’t do multi master replication as well but it is much more stable and predictable if you give it right amount of traffic. I guess the team had to do that part anyways for ScyllaDB
OK sorry for misattributing!
Technology is a large factor but not the core driver. It's individual human motivation that drives the efficiency of the system. When you centralize the function of human motivation into a governing body like socialism aims to do, the goal is that the central body can optimize the system. However, the system is too complex and always misses something that was never predicted. When you "outsource" those motive drivers back to the people with capitalism you let the system optimize itself.

I’m not sure I would call it a dark pattern, it’s the stated goal of the product. To remove as many expenses as possible, and turn as many things into paid options as they can. They don’t make any effort to hide this and the RyanAir CEO talks about it publicly all the time.

They’re no different from a lot of other budget airlines. The seat pitch is as low as it can go, the seats are cheap and uncomfortable regardless of pitch, and everything other than the seat is a paid extra.

I had to take a reasonably long Air Asia flight last year, and the worst part about it was they woke you up every two hours by turning all the lights on and making a very long announcement that the duty free cart was going to spend the next hour trying to sell liquor and terrible perfume to every passenger.

However on that same flight, one of the paid options was for an incredibly cheap add on that gave you priority checkin, priority boarding, priority immigration, and priority baggage. It was like $10 or something, insanely good value.
