I wonder if the reference you are reaching for, if it's not the Jonathan Haidt book suggested by a sibling comment, is The Enigma of Reason by the cognitive psychologists Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber (2017).

In that book (quoting here from the abstract), Mercier and Sperber argue that reason 'is not geared to solitary use, to arriving at better beliefs and decisions on our own', but rather to 'help us justify our beliefs and actions to others, convince them through argumentation, and evaluate the justifications and arguments that others address to us'. Reason, they suggest, 'helps humans better exploit their uniquely rich social environment'.

They resist the idea (popularized by Daniel Kahneman) that there is 'a contrast between intuition and reasoning as if these were two quite different forms of inference', proposing instead that 'reasoning is itself a kind of intuitive inference'. For them, reason as a cognitive mechanism is 'much more opportunistic and eclectic' than is implied by the common association with formal systems like logic. 'The main role of logic in reasoning, we suggest, may well be a rhetorical one: logic helps simplify and schematize intuitive arguments, highlighting and often exaggerating their force.'

Their 'interactionist' perspective helps explain how illogical rhetoric can be so socially powerful; it is reason, 'a cognitive mechanism aimed at justifying oneself and convincing others', fulfilling its evolutionary social function.

What 700 years of historical data can tell us about extreme weather
People definitely live in places where it gets that hot. (And note that's the air temperature in the shade, not even surface temperatures in sunlight which can get much hotter).

People survive because it's not 50°C all the time in those hot places. And the wet bulb temperature is lower, so sweating works (just about) to regulate body temperature. Mostly air conditioning and shelter, though.

Some very intelligent people, including Gödel and Penrose, seem to think that humans have some kind of ability to arrive directly on correct propositions in ways that bypass the incompleteness theorem. Penrose seems to think this can be due to Quantum Mechanics, Göder may have thought it came frome something divine.

While I think they're both wrong, a lot of people seem to think they can do abstract reasoning for symbols or symbol-like structures without having to use formal logic for every step.

Personally, I think such beliefs about concepts like consciousness, free will, qualia and emotions emerge from how the human brain includes a simplified version of itself when setting up a world model. In fact, I think many such elements are pretty much hard coded (by our genes) into the machinery that human brains use to generate such world models.

Indeed, if this is true, concepts like consciousness, free will, various qualia and emotions can in fact be considered "symbols" within this world model. While the full reality of what happens in the brain when we exercise what we represent by "free will" may be very complex, the world model may assign a boolean to each action we (and others) perform, where the action is either grouped into "voluntary action" or "involuntary action".

This may not always be accurate, but it saves a lot of memory and compute costs for the brain when it tries to optimize for the future. This optimization can (and usually is) called "reasoning", even if the symbols have only an approximated correspondence with physical reality.

For instance, if in our world model somebody does something against us and we deem that it was done exercising "free will", we will be much more likely to punish them than if we categorize the action as "forced".

And on top of these basic concepts within our world model, we tend to add a lot more, also in symbol form, to enable us to use symbolic reasoning to support our interactions with the world.
The book Chess for Tigers by Simon Webb explicitly advises this. Against "heffalumps" who will squash you, make the situation very complicated and strange. Against "rabbits", keep the game simple.
>That’s how I learned higher Ed’s dirty secret: high performing drop outs do better than graduates.

Well it makes sense... IF you can afford to drop out. the media praises people like Gates and Jobs for never finishing college but making billionaire empires, but it's not like they didn't each burn millions on failed projects first before hitting the gold mine. How else are you supposed to stand out as someone "high performing" but with no certifications to show for it? You gotta be your own business.

If you don't have that business acumen (and a small loan of a million dollars), dropping out is horrible advice.

In my anecdote of one, college did help me discover topics that really mixed together my mix of talents and passion into one field. I just wish they told me earlier that the jobs tend to expect masters before my grades tanked. I made out okay and am taking a long cut, but you always wonder about what could have been.

- Why is your partner getting the call from the bank when you placed the order?
- If it's a shared account, why would you not forewarn your partner about this transaction? If I'm about to buy pay for something big from our joint account, I sure as hell let my partner know about it ahead of time.
- If none of the above applies, then a simple "it's a portable gaming console that I've been yearning after for ages that I finally ordered earlier today", and 9/10 times that should settle the matter.

I picked up php a couple of months back after 30 years of ignoring it, mostly after reading a comment somewhere about using php for shell scripting.

>There’s nothing wrong with single income families

Except the economies. When dual income becomes more common, housing starts to charge under that assumption.

Most people literally cannot afford to be single income. There are divorcees who stay together simply because either cannot afford to move out and go it alone for a while.
I mean that no matter what you do, the arguments will always be shown in an inconsistent order and you’ll have to mentally swap them around. You probably could configure your editor to visually swap them, but that sounds like a really bad idea.
Makes no sense to me too but there is a vocal minority, as demonstrated when Microsoft removed android app support from windows 11, that use them. It's hard to estimate how many dozens of them there are but I guess it got to be in single digit.

> all that Fedex had was a signature of someone who doesn't even work at their fulfilment centre. [...] What's going on here?

Basically a lot of global logistics runs on trust.

If a driver is delivering a pallet to the FooCorp warehouse, he doesn't get given a copy of the FooCorp org chart, or get an example signature to compare against the signature they're given, or get given a map or a secret password or anything like that.

He just pulls up to the building that says FooCorp on it, says "got a delivery for FooCorp", they let him in and he accepts any name and signature from whoever is near the door.
I don't think there is enough (non syntetic) data available to get near what we are used to.

The big breakthrough of GPT was exactly that. You can train a model with (for what that time was) stupidly high amount of data and make it okis to a lot of task you haven't trained explicitly.
Handy. So you can set up a cron job to apply once a month.

> Google's custom silicon: the long road ahead

Oh yes, a very looonnnggg road ahead. Where apple has an history of hardware manufacturer and software development, Google is an advertisement company with software development.

They are absolutely not fit to the task, you don't make a new processor just like that or then you borrow one from Samsung and make little modifications but it's not the same thing. We've seen the result with pixel phones missing calls a lot, having bad thermals, and lack of signal.

It took them 3 phone (pixel 6 to pixel 9) to finally somewhat fix the antenna issue, but even then it's still not as good as less expensive phone.

When apple had the antenna gate, they fixed it in the next generation because they know how to work on these things. I believe if Google wasn't able to fix it for 3 generations, it's not the lack of time or resource but they just don't know how to work on hardware and its not going to change anytime soon.

They should rather stick on software and ads.

Those affect both genders, yes.

>Lastly, straight men, I’ll give you a secret women choose to go to school because we are taught at a young age that if getting an education is the #1 way to not be dependent on anyone.

Well I can give you a secret back: for better or worse, men know we have more options without a degree. Both my uncles weren't college material so my grad dad put them both in the army. another uncle went straight to trades. My cousin went to the peace corp and another cousin did go to school but on a sports scholarship.

These aren't male exclusive but very male skewed. It could be a chicken and egg but for a lot of "us" there is nowhere near as much pressure to go to college in order to get a job. So the stats aren't surprising.

All the features that Google ships are necessary for web apps. E.g., open this webpage in different browsers: https://howfuguismybrowser.dev/ — Note that Firefox was once on top of this development, during the days when they also had an interest in developing FirefoxOS. Those days are long gone.

As for what Google has done historically with Chrome, it's trivially easy to point to developments that have improved the web.

You can start with the fact that it's the most secure browser, see for instance: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht...

You can also read their original marketing material, in which they describe the isolation of plugins, extensions, or tabs, i.e., a crashing Flash movie or a crashing website no longer crashed the browser — then count the years it took for their competition to catch up: https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

On “speed”, not sure what you mean, but Chrome has been demonstrably the fastest browser. It always was, with V8 being the fastest JS engine since launch, but also in benchmarks testing more “real” experiences, like Speedometer 3. The only area where it needs improvement is battery efficiency on macOS machines, where Safari has the lead, but even there it made great strides.

Speaking of PWAs, Chrome was also the first to deliver a good PWA experience on mobile devices and on the desktop. For mobile devices, the first one was Apple's Safari, but then Apple crippled the experience by not implementing much needed functionality, such as notifications. Firefox, BTW, still has unfixed bugs on Android and provides no SSB support for the desktop.
In The Art of Learning, Joshua Waitzkin talks about how this was a strategy for him in tournaments as a child as well. While most other players were focusing on opening theory, he focused on end game and understanding how to use the different pieces. Then, by going with unorthodox openings, he could easily bring most players outside of their comfort zone where they started making mistakes.
Implementations are not exported or public at all: they are used in functions and those functions are exported. For correctness, you want those implementations to be resolved consistently (this is what coherence is). This post gives the example of unioning two sets: you need to know that they're ordered the same way for your algorithm to work.

So the problem isn't that the implementation is public, it's that its used somewhere by a function which is public (or called, transitively, by a public function). For a library, code which is not being used by a public function is dead code, so any impl that is actually used is inherently public.

You might say, okay, well can binaries define orphan impls? The problem here is that we like backward compatibility: when a new impl is added to your dependency, possibly in a point release, it could conflict with your orphan and break you. You could allow users, probably with some ceremony, to opt into orphan impls in binaries, with the caveat that they are accepting that updating any of their dependencies could cause a compilation failure. But that's it: if you allow this in libraries, downstream users could start seeing unsolvable, unpredictable compilation failures as point releases of their dependencies introduce conflicts with orphan impls in other dependencies.
Can you explain how intuition led you to try a certain approach?
It sounds like the audio waveform is simply cutting off rather than polyphonically fading in and out, which causes clicking on basically all the sounds. Especially noticable on the sine wave.

I assume you are just changing the frequency instantly or something. It would sound far better to implement polyphony and have a basic short AD envelope that is triggered for each step and allow a tiny overlap at the end
I think Rust assumes that trait implementations are the same across the whole program. This avoids problems e.g. with inlining code or passing data structures between crates. I don't believe this is absolutely necessary though.
A Custom Quantum-Resistant Symmetric Cipher: A Novel Approach in Cryptography
I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: a custom quantum-resistant symmetric key block cipher. This cipher, implemented in a single HTML file with embedded JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, offers a fascinating blend of simplicity and cryptographic robustness.

Key Features:

Quantum Resistance: Designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers, utilizing large key sizes (512-bit) and secure hash functions to protect against algorithms like Grover's.

Ease of Use: The entire implementation is contained within a single file, making it incredibly easy to test and experiment with—no installation required!

Educational Value: With placeholders for the S-box and permutation, this project serves as an excellent educational tool for understanding cryptography principles. I'm eager to see the community's contributions to improve these components.

Why It Matters:

As quantum computing advancements loom, the need for secure, quantum-resistant encryption methods is more pressing than ever. This project not only addresses that need but also democratizes access to cryptographic experimentation.
Forth really is one of easiest languages to build up from bare metal, piece by piece. And when you get it working, sure, it's arguably weird, but it's far better than where you started.

My personal inclination is to make the longer jump, and go straight for a deeply rudimentary Lisp. There's a trick where you start off with Lisp macros that expand to assembly, and I once knew someone who got it working for new hardware during a 10-hour plane flight. It's a slightly longer climb than Forth, but even a primitive Lisp is nice.

However, the deciding factor here really is the 6502 and 65C02 microprocessers. You really want at least 4 general-purpose registers for a primitive Lisp dialect, and that's pushing it. And the 65C02 basically has 1, or 3 if you clap your hands and believe. Even C is a serious challenge on a 65C02.

But Forth thrives in that enviroment. You only need a stack pointer and enough registers to do exactly 1 canned operation. So: victory to Forth.

Like it, but it seems to have some issues.

I submitted a page from my own website, and it advised:

* 10 Warnings. 1 Issue. Improvements Needed

* Incomplete Open Graph tags

* Recommendation: Add og:title, og:description, and og:image for better social sharing

I note that the "10 warnings" are not displayed. It would be nice if they were. And my page has og:title and og:description, so I'm not sure why those in particular are flagged as absent. The og:image is, indeed, absent.
I think so, but the badness of that argument is context-dependent. How about the hypothetical context where 70k+ startups are promising investors that they'll win the 50 meter freestyle in 2028 by entering a fine-tuned USS Los Angeles?

I’m excited to share UteHaven, a peer-to-peer ute hire service for tasks like moving furniture or trips to the rubbish tip. Built using Replit Agent and the PERN stack, it features Stripe payments and chat functionality coming soon.

I believe you are mostly arguing against a strawman (or highly editorialized, i.e. misleading headlines).

It would be beyond naive to assume that Russia would just announce "we're out of tanks, gonna call of the war now!". That is not how supply shortages affect a military.

What you instead expect to see is that the use of scarce weapon platforms and ammunition types becomes rarer, and that militarily undesirable compromises and alternatives have to be made and found (which is more costly, less effective or both).

Instead of taking massive ground in a tank offensive, the military might be forced into slowly advancing trenches and artillery; long-range guided shells might be reserved for high value targets only (instead of being blanket fired at every somewhat promising target in range). You would expect to see significantly older and less effective equipment, instead of more modern variants, more conservative use of bombardment, etc.

These are all things that can actually be observed! But they don't mean that Russia is going to lose, obviously-- this is just going to make continuing the offense more and more difficult, expensive and less effective.

You do not need to take my word for this, and you don't even need to keep up with lengthy OSINT reports and analysis to track this yourself, just consider the following: There has been significant use of Iranian drones and ammunition and lately even North Korean conscripts. I find it very hard to believe that Russian leadership pursued this as a desirable choice-- rather, it seems the exact kind of necessary alternative/compromise that you are forced into when you can not properly supply the war effort on your own (just like how the Ukraine was from day 1 forced into relying on western systems). This is especially glaring because Russia is a proud exporter of both weapons and mercenaries-- having to fall back on foreign stuff is just a bad look here.
