> My class valedictorian went on to become a doctor and while that is certainly impressive to me, there are many doctors and he practices (like almost every other doctor) and isn’t pushing the boundaries of medical science.

I think in this example you are vastly overestimating the “average genius”, in comparison to those rare few who truly push the boundaries. We tend to do this because of the way our brains estimate things of significant scale, like the fact that keeps floating around social media about how bad most of us are at having a concept of the difference between thousands, millions, and billions.

There are many valedictorians (of the order of some per thousand) but few Ramanujans (of the order of tens per billion?), and gearing an overall education system specifically for those few could do a disservice to a great many others at every level below. Ramanujan was not the result of an effective education system anyway: like a lot of other world changing minds he was largely self-taught. Perhaps there is room to encourage more investigation to the side of the curriculum a lot more than we currently do, but the problems that stop other "Ramanujan"s, that could so easily have scuppered Ramanujan himself, are usually not caused by the education system but by other societal problems (death & disease, racism, sexism, caste or class biases, etc.) not giving them a chance to explore & self-learn or have useful access to education & other resources at all. Addressing those problems will help a much wider chunk of the population, as well as reducing constraints for the truly exceptional geniuses¹ amongst them.

Interesting! May I ask what area you lived in (not due to the power distributor, but the age of the infrastructure in the area). The areas I've had issues are Brunswick, Thornbury and Footscray. Folks at work (we're a bit spread out but mostly Melbourne based) often talk of minor outages etc...

I actually had some electronics fail quite recently after a number of minor outages and speaking with insurance they were saying it's very common in certain areas where the infrastructure is aging or has recently been struck by lightening.

I have noticed the operating voltage in the inner north seems to vary between as low as 217V to 246V, but it's quite frequent you notice the lights dimming in houses round here. I don't think there were any last summer (if you could call it a summer) but usually I'd experience 2-5 (ish) complete outages on hot days, when I spoke to someone in know they said this is normal as they load shed you can experience short outages.
Gosh! Another self-help book to "cure" my ADHD and depression! /s

Sarcasm aside, we already have cures for these disorders. It's absolutely insulting to struggle for decades dealing with mental health problems, for the medical industry to hold the cure (which, incidentally, is also the key to allowing you to perform a lot of self-care steps which would improve your mental health), and to then be told that — no, you won't receive the cure because you're not our "ideal patient" so, instead, maybe try and bang your head against this self-help book that "cures" the disease. Obviously, the disease will be cured if you just try hard enough! Or if you just, idk, Cope With It.

The majority of self-help books exist to generate money and only end up reinforcing the point of view that if you are struggling with mental illness it must be your fault. They take the burden off the rotting, decrepit husk of capitalism and put the burden back on to you. "Oh, you have struggled every day of your life with X? Ah, but this self-help book solves X, so if it doesn't work that must be your fault and you need to struggle harder with the methods in the self-help book!"
Which is effectively a remaster and so invalidates every single claim that detecting a difference is due to superior fidelity.

We dont disagree. As I stated, "These things have different purposes". If you want to publicly share a resource, use a tool which provides that in the knowledge that if there is a vulnerability, it could be exploited. Using an overlay network reduces the risk further, but it means the end user needs to have an endpoint (unless you have an overlay with a 'clientless endpoint', but that's another topic). For some use cases, the endpoint is infeasible.

The situation had not improved much for the 10-15 years at least after that post was authored (which is when I was actively publishing).

But - writers could, then, and can now, use the "standard trick" to get past IEEE copyright transfer requirements:

https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/119002/7319

that works for a person who actually holds copyrights and can trasfer them - so that IEEE gets its papers, and eventually the author regains the right to also publish, modify, distribute etc. their paper.

For public domain it could be a bit trickier, and would require looking at the text of the current IEEE forms. I would guess that an appropriate loophole can be found to achieve a similar result.
> What's the benefit over Typescript? A few less characters? Faster TC39 proposal integrations?

Getting hands on experience with those proposals could be an argument, learning how they feel, learning how their availability changes the way people write code. Could this be called a research language? Sure, but that categorization would certainly influence the outcome of the observation.

I'm not disagreeing with any of your points though. Perhaps some mitigation could be provided by making their equivalent of decaffeinization a true first class citizen, intended to be run whenever a proposal gets rejected (or implicitly rejected by the language taking a different direction). This would have to be fine grained, and the language/tool would have to make "rolling preview of whatever proposals are currently in consideration" the code of its identity, not any particular set of language features.

The phrase "kill your darlings" circulates in fiction writing schools. The reasoning is that a "darling" turn of phrase which the author really likes is likely something that they are irrationally obsessed over and that distorts the editing process around itself, to the detriment of overall quality.

Like a lot of writing advice this is really subjective.

It feels like mainstream technology is slowly replacing most if not all accessibility devices, and I think that's a really good thing for those who need them!

Pretty much everyone eventually suffers from some sort of "disability". Hearing, eyesight, motor control, strength, etc. etc. So, I like to think of accessibility features as being made for everyone. Some people just need them earlier or with deeper functionality than others.
For me, there’s always an early social element to learning: trying to figure out who the experts are; getting them to point you toward the best resources; and if you’re lucky, bouncing your mental models off them to be corrected. A good LLM can take you part of the way on many subjects, which removes some of the initial friction.

Not every field is like that though.

Some problems are wicked and new, lots of knowledge is basically enacted more than known, and the solutions one seeks often require several disciplines.

> making me read things I didn't want to read and writing things I didn't want to write

How to do things you don't want to do is a fundamental requirement for adulthood, and probably the most important skill anyone learns in school
“If you disclose your invention publicly and do not file an application within one year, you could be barred from receiving a patent on that exact invention,”

I am not a layer not patent attorney, but I have extensive experience as a former asset manager of a IP portfolio of an international stock market traded information company and inventor/co-inventor on multiple US and non-US patents and patent applications.

This sentence is poor advice, since the one-year rule exists only in the U.S., whereas other countries have stricter rules. So it is recommended to always keep things secret (meaning you can only tell people under NDA about it) until a patent application is filed. You will normally want to be able to exercise your patent rights (a government-granted, time-limited, territorial monopoly) in multiple jurisdictions, not just the U.S., as your competitors will likely sit not just in the U.S. (if you file only in one country, people can work around your patent by using the method disclosed therein in another, unprotected jurisdiction instead, which is perfectly legal).

Another piece of advice, namely to file a provisional application first, is only advisable if you are not quite ready to file the full application, yet you are afraid someone else may file first. In most circumstances it may be smarter to file a full application as the first action; the reason is that no new material matter may be added to the provisional application, and in the course of writing and "fine tuning" the language of the final application, one often wishes to include additional matter. To sum it up, a provisional freezes the scope of the application, while not providing you an earlier "priority date".

You need to understand IP well to play this game; most people don't. It's also a game with large capital requirements ($100k/lifetime of a patent, including extension fees, foreign filings and translations) and very long time lines (double decades rather than weeks). But if executed carefully, a single transaction (case of patent litigation or licensing) may bring an IP owner more $$$ than they may earn with their normal operational business.

Battery tech is advancing so quickly that when you recycle a battery at end of life you can get greater than 100% of the original battery's capacity from the same materials, more than offsetting losses due to the recycling process.
If you first saw Earth billion years ago, you wouldn't be able to predict the current state of affairs. Why? Because there would be myriads of possible outcomes, and you'd struggle to pick one, even just imagining all of them would be impossible for a weak human mind. Weak human mind cannot truly grasp the full extent of what happens now despite it can look at it directly.

But among myriads of possible outcomes the would be a lot of outcomes that you would describe as "non random" if you saw them. Maybe any of them will not look as random. If evolution have chosen one of "non-random" outcomes by a dice roll, would it be right to call its pick "non random"?
Im my murky conception of reality, the existence of Planck limits indicates that reality is discrete, and that therefore quantum uncertainty must exist.

For those who don't follow RISC-V closely...

RISC-V has taken an approach where they have a relatively small core instruction set[1], and then a relatively large set of instruction set extensions.

Think of it like SSE and AVX on the x86 platform, turned up to 11.

This makes it more attractive to chip designers, as they can pick and chose what to implement, making fairly specialized chips at potentially reduced cost.

However this also makes it more difficult to target for programmers, as technically a RISC-V chip can have any combination of these extensions.

To make things a bit more predictable they've come up with these profiles, which is just the core plus a defined set of extensions.

So if you find a chip that says it follows the announced RVA23 profile, you know for example the vector instructions must be available.

[1]: https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Pretty sure that's not true.
Having thought further about this, I’m going to double down on this, because it’s worse than I was even contemplating. What you describe would be as like Rayon as a propped-up, life-size cardboard cutout of a house, is like the depicted house.

Rayon’s approach lets you write code that will run in arbitrary other threads, inline and wherever you want to. That’s absolutely essential to Rayon’s API, but you can’t do that in JavaScript, at all: workers don’t execute the same code (it’s not based on forking), and interaction between workers is limited to transferable objects, or things that work with structured clone, which excludes functions.

No, you can’t get anything even vaguely like Rayon in JavaScript. You could get a feeble and hobbled imitation with untenable limitations or extra compilation step requirements (and still nasty limitations), and that’s about it.

With Rayon, you can add parallelism to existing code trivially. With JavaScript, the best you can manage, which is nowhere near as powerful or effective even then, requires that you architect your entire program differently, significantly differently in many cases, and in ways that are generally quite a bit harder to maintain.

If you wish to contest this, if you reckon I’ve overlooked something, I’m open to hearing. I’m looking for something along these lines to work:

import { f1, f2 } from "./f.js";
let n1 = Math.random();
let n2 = Math.random();

await par_iter([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
.map(n => f1(n + n1))
.filter(n => f2(n + n2))
.collect();

Where the mapping and filtering will be executed in a different worker, and collect() gives you back a Promise<Array>. The fact that f1 and f2 are defined elsewhere is deliberate—if it didn’t close over any variables, you could just stringify the function and recompile it in the worker.
As with most tasks, you learn by doing. You can't learn to play tennis from a book, in the same fashion you can't learn to think from a book.

Find an area where you have to disassemble large problems into small ones, where you have to plan a few steps of the solution. Any knowledge area will do. Writing was suggested in another comment, it's a good playground. As is programming, where there is ample literature of puzzle problems to solve. Algebra, if you are so inclined although, beware, it veers a bit into the abstract. There are physical hobbies with that characteristic too: anything involving woodwork or building stuff out of parts (or disassembling and reassembling, like mechanics).

Having picked up a hobby, apply the hours. Start with stuff you can do, don't overshoot complexity. Then, evolve from there. As with all new activities, embrace failure. Don't just accept failure, expect it, learn from it, step on past failures to evolve.

P.S. I can't imagine not having an inner monologue, or its dual, spatial imagination, but a relevant part of the population doesn't have either, with no ill effects on the thought process. It's amazing, to me, but it seems they are not required for thinking.

>then reach out to Reddit or some other community for resources, to receive the commonsense advice "just build something"

An expert giving bad advice isn't going to help with your curriculum. To give a charitable interpretaion, forums like Reddit are very used to getting mostly Novices coming to ask questions. To the point where even if an advanced novice is asking about how to reach "Competent" level they will still give novice advice. And the best way to climb from novice to advance beginner is to "just build stuff".

There's definitely an open secret that there's plenty of novice material, and plenty of expert material. But the road to competent and proficient is basically a dead man's land for many subjects. I argue the curve to competent is harder than Proficient and Expert[0]. Such a hard point that you often won't find "best resources" without either education, consulting an expert, or simply work a job in that topic.

I don't have much better advice if you are seeking resources. But the next step up if you get stumped is to put more effort into finding other experts who will help out. try to email those potentially open to give advice on what to find or what's good/bad. Join communities similar to what domains you want to explore and form relationships. If you are getting to that point, offer to help contribute to projects others are working on.

[0]: Expert is steeper, but by that point you have a good sense of judgement to figure out what is a good or bad resource to study from. So it's "easier" to learn how to learn by this point.
