It's incredible how fast games evolved in the 90s. As the article mentions, Half-Life released less than five years after Doom.

These days, people will still cite games up to 10 years old (e.g. The Witcher 3) as looking graphically top notch.
Bachelors level education by age 20 is a reasonable goal by age 2, and masters by 22.
Who would have imagined that a guy nicknamed "Big Balls" would be able to destroy America from within. Putin thought he was a tough guy by trying to attack Ukraine head on, but "Big Balls" and co got a much bigger fish. All they had to do was read an Ayn Rand novel and share it on Twitter with the right people.
Ok yes. I definitely understand and agree with minimally this point that, indeed, such a formulation of indoctrination is silly, and that, yes, what you call left liberalism (many might call the same thing neoliberalism) is the operative ideology of the day and as such squirms itself explicitly and not into things like education and the media. I agree too that global empire is important here, but it seems strange to me to characterize liberals as somehow distinctive with regards to needing people to "believe they are a force for good." It's kinda always like that right?

I know it has broader use, but "indoctrination" to me has a connotation of force, of some active aligning of the subject's consciousness with a particular belief system/conviction, especially when invoked in this particular context (and just, you know, the way TV republicans talk about it right now). Propaganda is more broad though, certainly. A lot of what, at least, Chomsky talks about is the propaganda of distortion and omission: its not about telling people what to think per se, but making sure they don't think about XYZ, or at least don't care too much about it. This kind of propaganda feels like the truly distinctive thing about the emergent modern liberal order: they don't need us to fight any wars, there is no more communists really, they don't actually care if we are woke and think the Iraq war was a terrible crime, they just need us to go to work and then later order stuff from Amazon. This is ultimately I think why, yes, the conspiratorial aspects are hugely overblown: it just seems so strange to look around our world right now and believe that what's important is what everyone merely thinks. It's clearly "what we do anyway" that matters!

I think in this its somewhat too optimistic to think what we are seeing is any kind of "breakdown" between the ideological levers neoliberalism employs and the people who, e.g., watch the news. It is not like there is something else disgruntled citizens can flock to, and the system has proven at this point it can tolerate and/or incorporate every atom of dissent quite efficiently. It's a well oiled machine that Obama and Trump and all of them always slot into quite well at the end of the day. Why else is it that everything always seems to resolve down to inane culture wars that go back and forth contesting rights and privileges that ultimately do nothing to actually push the needle of our collective freedom or prosperity?

But this all truly begs the question for me: what were you even talking about to begin with? What, in this vein, did parents realize about their child's education during covid? If it isn't the silly conspiratorial stuff, I just can't imagine what you are talking about, much less how any of this situation is actually going to change with simply a new president or budget cuts.
Wiktionary has dialect maps for common Chinese vocabulary that showcases the differences in terminology across various regions of Chinese, rather than their similarities. Example: sleep -> https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:zh-dial-map/%E7%9D%A... , hide-and-seek -> https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:zh-dial-map/%E6%8D%8...

p.s. I'm saying this because most of these terms that has a dial-map are common in daily conversation. The differences in written Chinese vocabulary aren't as significant; how scientific and technical terms are expressed is largely determined by your administrative region.
Prop 13 hasn’t really solved the housing crisis.

The way to reduce it is to build enough to relieve demand, at which point there would be less pressure forcing valuations sky high.
> EM radiation, whether radio or visible light is photons

Is the only part that's not wrong in your post.

Photons only have one speed in empty space. They slow down when traveling through any medium other than vacuum.

> However, electrical conduction is the movement of electrons, not photons.

Electrons move because they influence each other through their fields, which are transmitted by photons. Electrical conduction happens at the speed of the fields, not at the speed of the electrons. When you push one more electron into one side of a conductor, an electron flows out the other side when the fields reach the other side, not when the electron does.

(As an analogy, consider a rubber hose full of steel balls. When you slowly push an additional ball in from one side, another ball starts to fall out of the other side as you push the first ball in, perceptually instantenously⁰, regardless of the speed you are pushing the new ball in.

(0): After a delay of (length of tube)/(speed of sound in steel)
facts and reality… you are asking for too much :)
Yeah that makes sense.

I thought extradition laws usually had some kind of clause like "only applies if it'd be a crime in both jurisdictions", but now I think about that I can't remember where I heard that or why I think it so I will admit complete ignorance.
Probably also because graphics nowadays are "good enough". I would rather have a new game with current-gen graphics and awesome story/physics/mechanics/world, than a game with shitty gameplay but slightly better textures.
Great list. There is one useful sidebar that probably isn't on the radar for most high school students but is important to remember:

My favorite example was a game of pong with the goal of staying alive as long as possible. One ML algo just paused the game and left it like that.

I think this is the better link. Advanced Data Protection is end to end encrypted, without the key being backed up to Apple’s servers.
Toyota has been lying about having solid state batteries for the past decade. At this point, don't believe that they have them until they ship them.
> nothing underpinning reality

Gravity is a thing, and we can feel it under us. But we can’t touch it, or see it.

Intuitively things that we can touch and see should be qualitatively different, but this intuition is wrong. Turns out it’s just big weak fields like gravity, and small strong fields like electromagnetism.
Lunar seems more convenient for debugging colony creation than Martian, since the shipping time from Earth will be a whole lot shorter. Projects are a lot harder when trips to the hardware store take months rather than days.

I think Starship makes colonies a whole lot more viable, once they iron out the issues, but I generally don't know enough to answer your second question.
International law limits state jurisdiction to territorial boundaries (Art. 2(1) UN Charter). Hacker News is a US web site and Y Combinator LLC is a US company. The OSA, which is a UK law, cannot mandate physical enforcement (e.g., server seizures) on foreign soil. If they really didn't like HN, UK government could try to suppress HN access for their citicens by local means. If HN had a branch in the UK, the UK government could take action against that branch. As far as I know that's not the case.
Mama and papa is a whole other phenomenon.

Arabic: mama babi. Mandarin: mama baba. Swahili: mama baba. Inuktitut: anaana ataata. English: mama papa. Tamil: amma appa.

These languages are not known to be related.

The first vowel sound a child makes is approximately "a" and the first consonant they form tends to be a nasal plosive "mba mba mba" and the second distinct sound tends to be a dental or labial plosive "pa ta pa ta". And the first thing a baby says is "mommy" of course and the second thing a baby says is "daddy" of course. So mama is mommy and papa or tata is daddy. That's the usual explanation, anyway.
Who said it was 'an AI'? Do you understand what intelligence means? And what artificial means?
science shouldn't have to be done with the fear of not being read fully, the system needs to be improved so you all can go deep

thanks for the long comment
I would not characterize it as “most”. Most universities in the US don’t have unions.

> Flawed reasoning among technocrats is that software can simply be made interoperable.
What they fail to understand is that interoperability is a two-sided process

1. Data that software operates on can easily be made interoperable. Even trivially. There's no end to standards around that

2. Yes, it's a "two-sided process" in the sense that companies go out of their way to make any and all data as inaccessible as possible
As other comments on this page have explained, Bitwarden already offers that as part of their paid features. In that case the authenticator functionality is embedded into the main Bitwarden app and not in a separate authenticator app.
Why do companies prefer to waste money on useless projects rather than donate to projects they actually depend on?
Sounds more symbiotic than parasitic.
I'm assuming this will apply to Mexico trying to punish Google for the Gulf of Mexico thing as well.

I did this for a tool that checks relative links in markdown files, e.g. readmes in a repo.

Android doesn't encrypt everything, and the details of what it does and doesn't encrypt are so fiddly that I don't feel confident enough to enable cloud backups.
I don't have the money to do this anyway, it's a moot point.

But the idea is you build the engine, and make better tools for advertising hooked into your own commercial service. That's by and large how Unity makes money.

I want to actually make quality open source games, and I want to use one easy language, like C# from the engine to the scripting.

Or maybe one day I'll learn Rust and Bevy...
Ye olde Rutherford experiment nicely illustrates the points of 'yes it is all empty space' and why that is both non-obvious and profound. Nothing pseudo about it.

They’re subjective with how that’s enforced. We used it in a higher ed institution in a small department and they reached out to us demanding we fork over (a lot of) cash to continue use. They considered the entire institution’s budget as the deciding factor.

Yes, that aligns with the license, but I’ve found most companies will negotiate in good faith when the use is limited within an organization. This felt very Oracle-like.
>And yet an off the shelf drug purchased by medicaid is often hundreds of times more expensive than when retail buys it. Something is happening and people taking their cut aren’t dumb enough to have it appear as top end administrative cost.

What "is happening" is that Republicans in the mid-2000s ensured that Medicare and Medicaid would be unable to negotiate drug prices by baking that into the law. Insurance companies can negotiate drug prices.
Evroc in Sweden is trying to do this.
I bought a 3dfx just to play Half Life, 3dfx because of that association between your game and their tech, figured it was the obvious choice, likewise so did most of my gamer mates.

So hope you had shares in them :D
Great work OP, love this site
Is going to be really hard to make the government more efficient.

Might be better to create 2.0 agencies. Say, IRS 2.0, USPS 2.0, NASA 2.0, DOD 2.0, start them from scratch and then eventually shut down the 1.0 agencies.

Transforming existing agencies inside out, might be close to impossible.

The Innovator's Dilemma would likely be a case on why it's really hard to transform existing organization, it's possible, but extremely hard; better to let startups disrupt existing companies.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about. Please stop.
On Trump's part this is probably just part of a public trade negotiation, so it's true; Europe should be hosting its own data and its own data processing. They just won't because it means a lot of short term pain for extremely dubious long term gain.

The PCLOB is obviously theater that gives Europe an excuse to pretend that it has an independent data policy focused on protecting Europeans, because:

1) The US will go through European data if it wants, and happily and quietly break its own laws to do it, board or no board.

2) Europeans want even heavier surveillance of European data than the US does.

3) I'm sure Europe is happy to use the US to get around its own privacy laws.

The reason Trump is breaking the board is because that will by law create a necessity for Europeans to move data out of the US, which again would be a nightmare of dubious benefit. In return for not breaking the board, Trump will ask for unrelated concessions that are a lot less expensive than that. Europe will have choices to make.

Privacywise, the US will have access to European data no matter where it is stored, no matter what it needs to do to get that access. It has nothing to lose on that front, only the income (which is imagine is not huge.) But without that board, Europeans have to choose between either onshoring or leaving the data in the US even with no working deal in place (and ending the elaborate pr charade that they care about the privacy of Europeans.) That board is a gift to Europe.
Am I the only one who absolutely detests the notch? To me, it seems like a design flaw and it looks just plain awful. I think we'll look back in the future at how stupid these phones look now.

The day this new one came out, I went and bought a brand new SE. I'll keep it in the box until my current SE dies and then I will swap it out for a (new) old SE.
Perovskite solar panels contain lead so you are going to have lead around, the question is if you can recycle the lead or if it goes in the environment.

A mutant that doesn't change the behavior of the program by definition cannot be killed by a test. I mean, how do you imagine a test could do that?
Please have an informed opinion. Mouthing off about things you don’t understand based on distorted statistics with political bias that you also don’t understand is not the same thing as having an informed opinion. Believe me, plenty of folks who work “in the industry” of higher ed have ill-informed opinions on this subject as well, but the folks throwing rocks without even trying to understand what’s really going on are just trolls.
Indeed this is the way.

I also have variants of light and dark for different lighting conditions at night and day (particularly glare).

>Can I have it backup sync to iCloud so I’d lose my phone I can get a new one?

Then your accounts are only as secure as your iCloud account, which I wouldn't count on, and you've undermined the purpose of 2FA entirely.

There's no way around this - 2FA needs to be bound to a single physical device if you want to benefit from it.
Sublinear Time Algorithms
Didn't realize it was this bad
I use light mode when it's light, and dark mode when it's dark. Anything else results in either cooked retinas or excessive squinting.

It baffles me that anyone could be so wedded to their theme that they would use dark at midday in a well-lit office or vice versa.
Those examples I referred to where the generally accepted practice not just individual opinions. IE many doctors/researchers all dismissed the same thing.
Same here, our sixth grade teacher assigned it. I wrote a BASIC program on the TRS80 to try to find solutions. Printed each solution it found to the dot matrix printer.
It's still not position independent code (i.e. no absolute addressing, zero relocs), but pure residents are of course reentrant, so their code can be run in many processes' contexts at the same time, by virtue of not using any global state, instead using the process's stack, or have heap allocations that are passed in/out.

The difference is that, with position-independent code, it can be loaded once, no relocations needed, and the same pages of code can be mapped into hundreds of processes' address spaces, each at a random location. Doing it like resident Amiga programs would mean loading to a specific address (even if random), and then it'd have to remain at that address across all processes, which makes it difficult to have different combinations of shared objects in the address space.

It is not initiative. It is manipulation

What if I claim need your data in a particular form in order to “interoperate” with you?

Will the EU legally compel you to give me the data in the form I want?

Or perhaps you’ll explain that raw data is raw data. In which case, is the EU legally compelling you to give away all your raw data to anyone that might want to cooperate / compete / sabotage / spy on you? If not anyone, what’s the minimum bar that a counterparty has to satisfy to get access to all your data? Who judges when they meet this bar? The European Commission? Judges in the ECJ? For every interop in the cross-product of all software on the market?

Are the flaws in this regulation not blindingly obvious to everyone in this community? Am I going mad here?

The eternal red flag of a DB UI that tries to support wildly different backends explains a lot of the problems. Many sane and powerful Postgres features can't be used because Directus also needs to support SQLite, for example. Views not properly supported, search features inadequate, graphql DSL with arbitrary limitations, a lot of weird or dysfunctional relational patterns when something much simpler would do... it's a parallel, inferior system on top of stock pg that is very frustrating when used at some depth.

Colleges don't really take AP courses in the way you're describing. I took every single AP and dual credit course in HS I was offered and a few more I wasn't. Did you know schools can just order the test for you without the class? Anyway, I went to uni with 80ish credit hours which "coincidentally" didn't count for any of my major classes or electives.

So the AP as a means of saving $$$ loophole has been hard closed.
You are misinterpreting what’s going on. Universities are places where lots of people live and work. There’s support staff for all of that. Some activity that goes on is teaching. Some is research. Some is community engagement and outreach. All of those functions also need support staff, particularly research. At many large universities, research is the primary function, not teaching. Research requires a lot more support staff than teaching.
Anxiety

Politics self selects high anxiety individuals that expect relief through process and procedure, regardless of the outcome.

Having everyone work through corporations, instead of individually, reduces irregularity. There's no logical reason to do this, but anxiety doesn't respect logic. Explaining the irrationality of an anxiety just adds to the anxiety.

Unfortunately, most people have a relatively constantly anxiety, regardless of how exactly their concerns are addressed, so there is no limit to the amount of micromanagement politicians seek.

A bunch of wimps for not going back to actual VT220 green phosphor terminals. Lol.
Personally, I prefer it when there is a solid default tool chain for a language rather than having to choose from one of several. That way, I know pretty much what to expect when I open any project in that language. I feel like this is one of the few places where Clojure dropped the ball and that deps.edn should've been there from the get-go.
AI regulation before we even know what AI is or will do?

Is this smart? AI service provider may choose to simply not offer services in the EU, because compliance is complicated.
I'm just quoting the example that Satya used in the interview.

He just meant that AI should have a meaningful impact on overall GDP growth to be considered valuable, regardless of the actual current growth rate.

Yes.

What you are suggesting is corrosive to trust though.

Trump was elected by those that believe in gas guzzling cars and trucks. His voters hate electric cars. He has to do this to appease his supporters.

Now that the dust have settled on the Twitter acquisition, I would absolutely love to hear some perspective on what the working culture is like there now. I don't feel much have been leaked since the initial outrage, but it may just be that I've not looked hard enough.
I often use: "I'm open to input as we move forward on this" to suggest it's already happening, with a clear and kind invitation for feedback.

What often happens if my manager objects is the urgency of "it's already happening" will result in him wanting to pause on it, if it's important to him.

Most of the time it's "ok, sounds good" where there's a clear trust between us. Or it might result in a "ok, sounds good -- just make sure so-and-so is aware too".
