    1. it's very intelligent to minimize surprise

      for - explanation - why minimising surprise is a good definition of intelligence - Donald Hoffman - it's very intelligent to minimize surprise - I'm surprised all the time - I'm pretty stupid right, I don't understand the world very well - but if I'm NOT surprised, it's like I've got a really good model especially if I'm doing lots of stuff in the world and I'm almost never surprised - boy am I I'm really intelligent! - So, you can see why that's a really good principle for trying to build an AI, - not just finding correlations between everything, - but really something deeper.

    2. That's me in a different headset. And when I really then then I ask, well, how would I want to treat me? I get the right answer. That's love. How would I if that's me, how how how would I treat me if that were me? Well, when you get the right when you do that, you're acting in love.

      for - key insight - if that person is me, hope would I treat me? - Donald Hoffman - adjacency - if that person is me, how do I treat me? - Good Deep Humanity BEing journey

    1. up Isabella d’Este’s portrait, complaining of Leonardo’s ‘haphazard andextremely unpredictable’ routine. This frustrating restlessness was, ofcourse, integral to the obsessive creativity. Pacioli had been able to draw aline under a piece of work and consider it done, but for Leonardo thisrepresented a mental hurdle that he frequently failed to clear. He leftpaintings unfinished for decades – Lisa del Giocondo sat for the Mona Lisawhen she was in her early twenties, and was thirty-nine when Leonardodied, still working on it – and he evidently felt similarly about hismanuscripts and notebooks
    1. Zwei Ex-Soldaten rechnen ab: So schlecht steht es um Deutschland wirklich

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOWDBy4fbqs

      Der Kipp-Punkt kommt, wenn die Kassen leer sind‼️ Dann gehen uns unsere Fachkräfte an die Gurgel‼️

      selbstjustiz und revolution, das ist das einzige was hilft, alles andere ist zeitverschwendung.

      4:51 Die Polizisten haben Angst, die Bürger haben Angst und das ist ja auch das Problem. Machst du jetzt irgendwas? Die sind ja nicht blöd, die kriegen deine Daten raus über die Staatsanwaltschaft, und dann auf einmal kriegst du Hausbesuche. Dasselbe Problem haben die Richter, dasselbe haben die Anwälte. Massive Einschüchterung, zumindest wenn es um Clankriminalität geht. Keiner traut sich mehr, was, also Deutschland hat fertig. Wir sind im Kriegszustand. nur hat es bis jetzt uns nur keiner gesagt.

      8:05 Das Problem ist auch mit diesen Einschüchterungen, das ist eine Form der Propaganda. Man weiß, man kann gegen die Leute nichts machen, also schüchtert man sie ein. Weil dann sozusagen, oh, eine Hausdurchsuchung links oder rechts von einen. Es wird juristisch nichts passieren, aber was passiert sozial? Was passiert mit den Job? Also, bestrafe einen und züchtige Hunderte. Das ist ein reines Abschreckungsmittel, was eigentlich in diktatorischen Gefilden normalerweise angewendet wird, aber anscheinend ist unsere Politik so weit, dass sie in die Enge getrieben ist, sich von der Realität verabschiedet haben, um jetzt sozusagen auf, ich nenn es mal "alte Methoden" zurückgreift, um dort einfach an der Macht zu bleiben.

      8:42 Weil das wissen wir, sei es die NGO Geschichten, sei es die vielen Skandale, die Masse wahrscheinlich von vielen vielen Amsträgern, die müssten wahrscheinlich auch im Knast landen. Ja, nur das kann man natürlich schön verheimlichen, indem man die Medien auf seiner Seite hat, die Richter, die alle auch politisch irgendwo ihre Pässe haben, ihre Parteibücher, und auf der anderen Seite mit den Medien. Also alles so ein Schornstein-Effekt, alle nutzen sich gegenseitig, und geben sich auch gegenseitig Autorität.

      11:04 Vorsorgen kann bis zu einem gewissen Grad ja wirklich jeder, ne? Ja, und es geht auch nicht immer um materielle Sachen. Körperlich, Geist, Netzwerk, Austauschen. Alleine bist du in der Krise nichts. Egal, was du für ein Background hast, egal wie gut du bewaffnet bist, egal wie viel Essen du hast, jeder ist Mal krank oder müde oder angeschlagen oder verletzt. Man braucht eine Schichtfähigkeit. Man braucht vor allem spezialisierte Leute, die verschiedene Fähigkeiten machen können, sich ergänzen können als Team. Ja, was ursprünglich eigentlich so die Volksseele war. Das ist ja durch die Atomisierung, ist auch wieder so eine so eine Technik, ist ja das ausgetrieben worden, ne? Oder Entwurzelungstechniken. Damit ist natürlich die Bevölkerung komplett sozusagen, jeder gegen jeden, und nur noch Ellenbogengesellschaft, und dass man eigentlich zusammen gehört, auch dieses links und rechts, grün gegen sonst was, oben gegen unten, das sind alles Techniken, nur um eigentlich "die da oben", sage ich mal, zu schützen, dass das Volk nicht ein irgendwo vorgeht. Und du hast gefragt, wie lange geht's noch? Es geht so lange, wie wir uns das gefallen lassen, und irgendwann, irgendwann stehen Leute auf und sagen, jetzt reicht's.

      12:10 Aber dieser Kippppunkt muss noch kommen, das ist das Problem an der deutschen Seele, ja, bei den Südländern ist es eher so eine Art "Tauziehen", sagt man in der Psychologie. Also, wenn sozusagen eine Reaktion kommt, Druck von Regierung, neue Steuern, dann wird direkt reagiert. Bei den Deutschen oder den, ich nenn es mal den Norddeuropäern, das ist eher so ein "Kipppunkt", da passiert nichts, passiert nichts, irgendwann reicht's und dann schnappt das um, und dann ist natürlich gleich wieder Volleskalation. Aber dieser Punkt ist noch nicht da. Wir haben noch Trinken, es gibt noch Bier, es kommt noch Fußball im Fernsehen.

      13:42 190.000 zusätzliche Arbeitslose mehr als im selben Zeitpunkt im Jahr davor, aber 6,2% Arbeitslosenquote. Aber sind wir mal ehrlich, das ist ja nicht die Wahrheit. Die Wahrheit ist ja, wie viele sind in Maßnahmen, wie viele gehen im vorzeitigen Ruhstand, wenn man ehrlich ist, kann man das ja mindestens verdoppeln. Und dann hast du natürlich von den zusätzlichen Beamten, die geschaffen werden, sei es in Berlin, sei es aber auf kommunaler Ebene, ich kriege das bei mir auf kommunale Ebene mit, wie viele Menschen dort verbeamtet werden, die in der Verwaltung sitzen. Ist für mich immer unbegreiflich, weiß du. Also Beamte brauchst du maximal Richter, Staatsanwälte, Polizisten. Brauchst du keine Lehrer als Beamter in meinen Augen. Ist völliger Nonsens.

      14:23 Aber es bläht sich halt komplett auf, dieser Wasserkopf, und diejenigen, die hier tatsächlich produktiv noch sind, die werden immer weniger, die werden immer mehr zur Kasse gebeten. Was habe ich mich gestern und heute mit Unternehmen unterhalten, die einfach die Schnauze voll haben und sagen, ich mach nicht mehr, ich hau ab, ihr könnt mich alle mal, und dann stehen wir da. Dann hast du eine extrem linke Bewegung. Ich glaube, gestern waren es ernsthaft die Linken in den Umfragen bei 16%, wo ich mir denke, sag mal, seid ihr alle nicht mehr ganz dicht oder was? Du kannst ja ne linke Einstellung haben. Die linke Einstellung endet für mich da, wenn man irgendwie das, weiß du, "Deutschland verrecke", "Alerta Alerta", die ganze Nummer, die ich da von morgens bis abends von irgendwelchen wirklich dummen Menschen höre, die aber auf meine Kosten leben, die vom Sozialstaat leben. Was glauben die denn, wo das herkommt?

      19:42 Die sind nicht alle blöd. Das Problem ist, vielen fehlen die Fakten, vielen fehlen sachliche neutrale Fakten. Alles was, sei es über öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk ist, oder über Fernsehen, Radio, sonst was, durchläuft mindestens fünf Filter. Also fünf Filter von "hier ist die Explosion", hier ist die Primärquelle, und ehe wir das sehen, lesen oder sonst was, muss es mindestens durch fünf Filter durchgehen, teilweise auch sechs oder sieben Filter, und somit ist natürlich klar, die Leute können bloß auf der Datenlage, die die bekommen, eine eine Reaktion bzw. eine Lagefeststellung, eine Entscheidung treffen. Wenn aber die Rohdaten nur Lügen sind, und die das aber nicht wissen, dann können die einfach das nicht machen. Die denken wirklich vielleicht "aus bestem Wissen und Gewissen wähle ich jetzt das", oder mache ich jetzt das, oder "die sind böse und die sind gut". Aber woher ziehen die ihre Daten? Ja, und das sind so die Sachen. Einfach mehr hinterfragen, mehr selber nachdenken. Am Ende wird man selber drauf kommen, ne? Es ist es ist nicht so komplex, nur dadurch dass jeder arbeiten ist, keine Zeit hat. Ja, und wenn er dann abends kaputt nach 10 Stunden Arbeit, vor allem die Selbständigen, das ja dann eher Halbzeit, dann fällt man nur noch ins Bett oder auf Sofa, schaut Netflix, trinkt nen Wein und dann dann fängt der nächste Tag wieder vor los, also diese Narkotisierung durch viele Informationen und aber auch Überschwemmung mit 1000 Fake News und Desinformation, dadurch können die Leute leider, muss man sagen, gar nicht so richtig das urteilen. Das ist das Problem. Diese, beim NLP heißt das ja "unbewusste Inkompetenz". Ja, sie wissen gar nicht, dass die dumm sind bzw. wissen gar nicht, dass denen irgendwas fehlt. Dazu müssten die sozusagen erstmal die richtigen Fragen stellen, um eine "bewusste Inkompetenz". "Oh, hier habe ich eine Lücke." Ja, deswegen sage ich immer, vielfältig informieren. Es es reicht heutzutage nicht einfach nur um 19 Uhr die Glotze anzumachen.

      23:59 Also ich kann bloß das wiederholen, was einige Polizeipräsidenten zu mir gesagt haben, und da ging's ja einmal hier um das Beispiel Frankfurt, was sie gesagt hatten, dass die komplette Polizei und auch Bundeswehr nicht in der Lage wäre, allein gegen die Frankfurter Gangster und die Kriminellen anzugehen. Also das Gegenüber hat viel mehr Waffen, Munition, viel mehr Manpower. Von allen Behörden, die ich jemals getroffen und gesehen habe, seit 2004, sagen alle dasselbe. Sobald es kracht, nehmen Sie ihre Dienstwaffe und gehen nach Hause. Also, es ist kaum einer da, und auch viele Dienststellen sind schon infiltriert [Graue Wölfe, Bozkurt]. Auch da sind schon viele, ich sag mal, aus den Clans aus den Gangbereichen mit drin, die gezielt reingebracht wurden.

      26:42 Jeder, der sich mit dieser ganzen Situation mal intensiv befasst hat, weiß das. In Deutschland denken da kaum Menschen drüber nach. Die Naivität in diesem Land ist bemerkenswert. Ich habe in meinem letzten Video das von dem Delta Force Operator eingespielt, weil er, wie er gesagt hat, die Brutalität bei unseren Menschen, und die sind ja in diesem Land, das sind nicht alle, ja, aber es sind genügend mit eingesickert, die vom islamischen Staat kommen, und so weiter. Und wenn die dann die "Leutnante" sind, sage ich mal, auf der Straße, du hast das letztes mal gesagt, da werden viele folgen, da werden viele mitmachen.

      27:23 Ich habe eine Rede von dem ehemaligen Chef der Kommando Spezialkräfte, General Günzel, gehört, der gesagt hat, der Mensch ist von Natur aus schlecht und brutal. Geht es aber um religiöse Gründe, ist die Brutalität in keinster Weise in Worte zu fassen. "Dieses Bemühen um eine humane Kriegführung, wenn dieses Wort erlaubt ist, fiel jedoch regelmäßig und ironischerweise immer dann sofort wieder in sich zusammen, wenn das Volk im Namen Gottes zu den Waffen gerufen wurde. Glaubenskriege und Kreuzzüge waren die mit Abstand grausamsten der Menschheitsgeschichte."

      28:52 Die iranische Führung hat jetzt offiziell den heiligen Krieg erklärt gegen Israel und Amerika.

      29:36 Wann geht's hier richtig los? Wenn sozusagen der Heilige Krieg, also zwischen Christen und Juden gegen Muslime bzw. Muslime gegen die Christen und Juden, dann wird es hier verdammt eng.

      33:26 Lass uns den Menschen noch ein bisschen Hoffnung machen. Dass es knallen wird, das ist klar. Aber wahrscheinlich brauchen wir so ein "Reinigungsgewitter" wie Marc Friedrich, ich habe mit dem auch gestern noch so ein Interview gemacht, ganz interessant, der beschrieben. Es geht immer in Zyklen, alle 80 Jahre, und ich glaube er hat einfach recht. Ja und wir sind jetzt einfach dran. Die Frage ist, wie schlimm wird's? Die Frage ist, wie kommen wir da durch, und dann wie kommen wir auch schnell wieder nach oben? Weil wirtschaftlich ist ist hat Deutschland fertig. Hat Deutschland wirklich fertig. Das ist einfach wahr. Und das das kommt auch nicht zurück. Die Firmen, die weg sind, kommen kommen nicht wieder. Die Facharbeiter, die weg sind, kommen nicht wieder. Und ich glaube ja, da hat das, was Marc Friedrich wahrscheinlich gemeint hat, ist "das Prinzip der vier Generation" [good times create weak men…], was einfach wiederkehrend in der Geschichte der Menschheit immer wieder da ist. Und ja, ich glaube, wir brauchen es, und ich hoffe einfach noch, dass ein bisschen Restfunke, sage ich mal, unsere Ahnen irgendwie in uns drin ist, zwischen Dichtern, Denkern und auch Kämpfern. Ja, die German waren ist nicht unbedingt nur Leute, die da ganze Zeit Gedichte geschrieben haben. Ja, also auch das Wehrhafte, hoffe ich, dass das irgendwann mal wieder zurückkommt, und dann werden wir das sehen. Also, ich denke, wir zwei sehen uns dann irgendwann mal auf der Straße wieder, an der Seite von denjenigen, die Schutz brauchen. Ja, aber ich weiß nicht, wer sonst noch da ist. Das das ist genau der Punkt. Einige Kämpfer gibt es in diesem Land noch, und ich weiß, wenn wir uns auf der Straße treffen sollten, dass ich mich auf dich verlassen kann. Mein Lieber, grüß bitte alle deine Mitstreiter, weil es gibt noch genügend in diesem Land, die dieses Land lieben und nicht zum Kotzen finden ("Warum bist denn du heute hier? - Alerta Alerta!") und Deutschland nicht den Tod wünschen ("Deutschland verrecke") und von daher glaube ich schon, dass wir am Ende irgendwie wieder vernünftig vorgehen können, mein Lieber. Vielen Dank, Andre.

      35:22 "Glaubenskriege und Kreuzzüge waren die mit Abstand grausamsten der Menschheitsgeschichte. Denn hier kämpfte man ja nicht mehr gegen einen, wenn auch feindlich gesonnenen, aber doch immerhin menschlichen Gegner. Hier kämpfte man gegen den Leibhaftigen mit seinem gesamten höllischen Anhang. Hier ging es nicht mehr um irdische Güter, um Land, Macht oder Interessen. Hier ging es um das Wort und die Werke des wahren Gottes. Nicht um Sieg oder Niederlage, sondern um die Ausrottung des Bösen schlechthin. Und da aber natürlich auch jedes Mittel recht, denn wer mit Gott im Bunde war, der konnte ja nichts Unrechtes tun."

    1. Almost everyone who sees Mulholland Drive (2001) notes that the first part of thefilm makes a good deal of sense—at least for a David Lynch movie. In contrast tothe beginnings of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) or Lost Highway (1997),the opening of Mulholland Drive is relatively straightforward

    1. Nach den Erfahrungen mit den Angriffen der ersten Trump-Administration auf die Wissenschaft haben Wissenschaftler:innen in den USA verschiedene Maßnahmen zum Schutz wissenschaftlicher Institutionen ergriffen. Die New York TImes berichtet ausführlich über diese scientific integrity policies, die wissenschaftliche Arbeit öffentlich beobachtbar machen, aber politische Einflussnahme ausschließen sollen. Die Biden- und schon die Obama-Administration haben scientific integrity policies gefördert. Zu den Maßnahmen gehören die Benennung von Verantwortlichen für wissenschaftliche Integrität in Behörden und Kollektivverträge, die die Disziplinierung von Forschenden erschweren.

      Zum „War on Science“ schon der ersten Trump-Regierung gehörte außer Entlassungen von Wissenschaftler:innen auch die Anordnung der Verfälschung von Forschungsergebnissen. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/climate/trump-government-scientists.html

    1. As Frameless Art Curator, Rosie O’Connor states: “We know that people who visit galleries as children are more likely to consume culture as they reach adulthood, but they can struggle with the height of the paintings and inaccessible language rooted in the art world. At Frameless the whole experience has been designed to be entertaining and accessible to all with an aim to spark an interest in these magnificent artworks and to hopefully even inspire visitors to seek out the original versions”.

      great quote- diferentiating between the experience these museum provide that can spark curiosity and the art displayed in traditional museums and the inaccesible aspect atributed with it

    1. It makes a lot of sense to have this different strategy of being rooted in the real physical world and have digital nomads being as like a guild of knowledge workers that seed their specialized knowledge because localism is necessary and good, but it's also not necessarily very innovative. Most people at the local level just keep repeating stuff. It's good to have people coming in from the outside and innovating.

    1. we think of kindness and compassion in a way that's very similar to the way scci other scientists think about language

      comparison / key insight - compassion is like language (and also like genetics) - compassion, like language and genetics is intrinsic to our human nature. Every newborn comes into the world with the biological capacity for kindness/compassion, language and for genetic expression. However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth. The same nature, varies on nurture

    1. We present high quality image synthesis results using diffusion probabilistic models,a class of latent variable models inspired by considerations from nonequilibriumthermodynamics. Our best results are obtained by training on a weighted variationalbound designed according to a novel connection between diffusion probabilisticmodels and denoising score matching with Langevin dynamics, and our models nat-urally admit a progressive lossy decompression scheme that can be interpreted as ageneralization of autoregressive decoding. On the unconditional CIFAR10 dataset,we obtain an Inception score of 9.46 and a state-of-the-art FID score of 3.17. On256x256 LSUN, we obtain sample quality similar to ProgressiveGAN. Our imple-mentation is available at https://github.com/hojonathanho/diffusion.

    1. I'm surprised no one has mentioned disambiguate in this context. It sounds horrible and outlandish on first hearing, has a reasonably transparent meaning (which may shed some light on the semantics of dis-), and seems to be used almost exclusively by linguists.
    2. I believe it is possible to disprefer something while either 1. not disliking it, or 2. liking it but not intensely enough to be the preference. As in, "I like tart apples, but I sometimes disprefer them as an ingredient on a green salad." It doesn't and hasn't, meant I would refuse to eat a salad with this ingredient included, but there are times when my preference would have been to have a salad without them.
    3. I think you linguists worry too much. It's a simple enough formation using a very common prefix, and while it is not clear whether "I disprefer" means "I do not prefer" or "I prefer something other than" or "I prefer the opposite of" or "I stop preferring", either it'll settle down to one meaning or it'll carry a range. So what? This is the first time I've heard the word but I don't find it particularly puzzling.
    4. Amy: It's a real word. I use it all the time (of course, I'm a linguist, and I allow the possibility that I picked it up from my linguist chums, though it doesn't seem particularly jargony to me). For me, "disprefer X" means something like "not choose X when other options are available". This is subtly different from "prefer anything over X", quite different from "not prefer X", and totally distinct from "dislike X" or "object to X".

    1. This is probably confusing because the "host" in --network=host does not mean host as in the underlying runner host / 'baremetal' system. To understand what is happening here, we must first understand how the docker:dind service works. When you use the service docker:dind to power docker commands from your build job, you are running containers 'on' the docker:dind service; it is the docker daemon. When you provide the --host option to docker run it refers to the host network of the daemon I.E. the docker:dind container, not the underlying system host.

They ask probing questions to gain a complete understanding of what it is they’re trying to accomplish, why they’re working towards that goal, and everything else in between. Having an analytical mind ensures that they don’t let any details slip through the cracks.

By way of example: "Times Square" might often be used to refer to the area around Times Square, but may include things which are not actually part of the Square. To narrow such a usage, one might say "I mean only the actual Times Square" or "I mean Times Square proper."

    1. One of the objects given to us by heterosexual culture is the monogamous couple. In order to live a “good life” of sexual and emotional intimacy, we must turn away from other lovers. Perhaps, then, a queer life would mean reorienting oneself toward other lovers, and non-monogamy would constitute a queer life

    1. The title of the question is what triggered the process of finding this Q/A for material that aided development of the above to solve a real life problem described by the title. The OP declared that base64 decode was not the "real" problem; pedantic constraint of answers to a particular "example" seems less helpful. When this question and its answers were key to helping solve real problems, alternate answers can be gifts to the community in recognition of the fact that many more people will use this Q/A to solve problems. Since the answer is on-topic per the title, I feel it is "game on".
    1. Then I gave the question a longer, more descriptive title: I made it an actual question (with a question mark and everything), and replaced the term "lazy evaluation" with a more concrete description. The goal is to make the question more recognizable and more searchable. Hopefully this way, people who need this information have a better chance of finding it with a search engine; people who click through to it from a search page (either on Stack Overflow or from external search) will take less time to verify that it's the question they're trying to answer; and other curators will be able to close duplicates more quickly and more accurately. This edit also improves visibility for some related questions (and I made similar changes elsewhere to promote this one appropriately).
    1. Regardless of what your arguments are, the personal reasons of the developer are what matters for what platforms this game is provided on. You can choose to pay for the game, or not. Paying for the game supports the developer, and allows them to develop more. It is not reasonable to argue that someone should have put in additional unpaid effort to do something for unknown future benefit, or that they should charge less for a game because it's only available on one platform; that's their choice, and their decision.For context, development of Taiji was started in mid 2015; it took seven years to finish. That's with the Commercial Game Engine, and even with that, there were platform-based bugs that needed to be worked around (issues that won't be present on other platforms, or will have different presentations); here's just one of those, involving an issue around mouse sluggishness:https://taiji-game.com/2020/07/13/68-in-the-mountains-of-madness-win32-wrangling...If the developer is not already familiar with Linux, then there's a small mountain of language barriers around using Linux that needs to be overcome first, before being able to get to the game development phase. It's rare for game development to work on different platforms when it can't be tested on those different platforms. While it might be easy to cross-compile on a Windows system (e.g. via IL2CPP), that's only if everything works perfectly (which is unlikely to be the case).

For subtasks with a different status to their parent, it displays a dummy parent (ghosted), above the subtask in the list, with the parent's status label visible against the dummy. Dragging the parent task to a different list changes the label of the child tasks as well, and any sub tasks already in its new list are re-organised under the parent and any dummy removed
    1. We use GitLab to manage software on interconnected embedded systems. What often comes up is this: New functionality on one system changes the protocol in a slightly incompatible way. Software on other systems have to be updated to understand the new protocol, take advantage of the new functionality, and stop complaining about the unexpected data. For this I would create multiple issues: Issues for the new functionality that we need. (Project A) Issue for defining the protocol changes. (Project A) Issue for implementing the protocol changes on the module. (Project A) Issues in related software projects for implementing the changes required to understand the new protocol. (Project B, C, D...)
    1. Why should this conversation be separate from other conversations about the work to be done? Design is one consideration alongside frontend and backend considerations, which often all intersect and require the same participants. Shifting this discussion to a separate work item can result in disjointed conversations and difficulty finding where a decision was made.
    1. 序 前言 數盲,其實普遍存在於生活之中   「數學向來是我最爛的一科。」   「100萬美元、10億美元、1兆美元,隨便。只要我們可以解決這件事,多少錢都不是問題。」   「我和傑瑞不能去歐洲了,都是恐怖分子害的。」   數盲,是指沒有能力自在地應對和數字以及機率有關的基本概念。這項缺點讓太多在其他方面博學多聞的人受了很多苦。這些人會因為別人混用「隱含」和「推斷」而感到苦惱,但看到數字上出現錯誤與矛盾,就算是嚴重失當,回應時也絲毫不見尷尬。我還記得,有一次在派對上聽到一個人侃侃而談「繼續」和「持續」有什麼差別,當晚稍後我們看新聞報導,氣象播報員說星期六的下雨機率是50%,星期天也是50%,結論是那個週末下雨的機率是百分之百。那位自封文法家的先生覺得這話很對,就連我向他解釋錯在哪裡之後,他也沒什麼表示。但如果天氣播報員的語法錯誤,他可能會比較火大。人常會隱藏其他缺點,但數學不好這件事不一樣,多半都是明目張膽表現出來:「我連平衡收支帳都做不到。」「我這個人關心的是人,我不關心數字。」或者「我向來痛恨數學。」   人們會洋洋得意於自己對數學很無知,部分原因是數學不好造成的後果,不像其他缺點這麼明顯。基於這一點,再加上我堅信人對於用具體範例來說明更有反應,對於一般性的描述比較無感。因此,本書會檢視許多真實世界裡的數盲範例,包含股票詐騙、擇偶、報紙專欄上的占卜師、飲食和醫療主張、恐怖主義的風險、占星、運動賽事數據、選舉、性別歧視、幽浮、保險和法律、心理分析、超心理學、樂透以及藥物試驗等等。   我努力避免太自以為是的言論,也不要用哲學家艾倫.布魯姆(Allan Bloom)式的批判,來泛論流行文化或是教育系統,但我還是提出了一些通論式的評論與觀察,但願我舉的例子能支持我的論點。我的看法是,有些人無法游刃有餘地面對數字和機率,是源於對不確定性、巧合或問題呈現方式的自然心理反應。或者是,出於焦慮,或是對數學的本質和意義懷抱不切實際的誤解。   數盲會造成一種罕有人討論的後果:數盲和相信偽科學有關。本書會討論兩者之間的交互關係。在現代這個社會,每天都會出現基因工程、雷射科技、積體電路等新科技,讓我們更進一步理解這個世界。但有很多成人仍相信塔羅牌、通靈和水晶的力量,特別讓人難過。   更不妙的是,科學家對於各種風險的評估,和一般人對於這些風險的認知大不相同,兩者間的落差最後要不就引發沒有根據、但殺傷力極大的焦慮,要不就導致人們要求得到根本做不到、而且會癱瘓經濟的無風險保證。政治人物在這方面幫不上忙,因為他們的工作就是處理公眾的意見,因此不樂於說清楚可能會造成哪些危險,以及有哪些相應的取捨,但這是幾乎所有政策要面對的問題。   本書大部分談的是各種不當,比方說沒有數字觀點、過度重視無意義的巧合、輕信偽科學、無能識別社會中的各項取捨等等,寫來很有破解流言的意味。但我希望我有避開很多人這麼做時,都會露出的過度激昂和譴責語氣。   本書盡量用溫和可讀的方式來談數學,只採用一些基本的機率和統計概念。雖然某種程度上來說有一點深,但只需要具備常識與一些演算能力即可領會。而我也會分享一些概念,是過往很少用淺顯易懂的方式來討論的。我的學生多半很喜歡這些內容,但他們也常會問:「考試時會考這個嗎?」讀這本書不用考試,所以讀者可以好好享受,偶爾一些比較困難的段落,跳過也沒問題。   本書的主張之一,是數盲會基於個人經驗、或因為媒體側重個別性與戲劇性效果,而受到誤導,有強烈的對人不對事傾向。但這句話不代表數學家就不帶個人情感、或是一板一眼,我就不是,這本書也不是。我寫這本書的訴求對象,是受過教育但是數盲的人。或者,至少是對數學還沒有怕到死,不會看到數學兩字就癱軟的人。如果能因此講清楚數盲在我們的公、私生活中有多麼普遍,寫這本書就值得了。

      認真地對照原文看了,沒有發現意思上的問題。雖然試讀文不長,但從經驗看,沒有明顯的誤譯實爲難得。

        • The content on this website may be what some call "doomers" that support a narrative of unavoidable catastrophe and civilization collapse
        • The author does an excellent job of drawing together many scientifically validated research papers and news media stories on various crisis and integrates them together to support his narrative.
        • As the author states, it is still incomplete but it is comprehensive and detailed enough to use as a starting foundation to build a complex polycrisis map upon. becaues it shows the complexities of the interwoven nexus of problems we face and the massive network of feedbacks between them that makes solving any one of them alone in isolation an impossibility

          • all these crisis will impact our supply chains. Why are these important? Our reliance on technology is dangerous and makes us very vulnerable
          • Think of your laptop, cellphone or other electronic device that relies on a vast, complex and globally operational internet. Imagine that tidal surges wipes out the globally critical data centers located in New York. Or imagine electronic factories in China and Taiwan are wiped out due to extreme weather. How will you get or fix a broken piece of electronic equipment? We rely on each millions of specialized jobs all working smoothly in order for our laptop to continue working and communicating with each other.

      • While writing this, I just recalled that we should have a way to time and date stamp every single virtual online action, like in this annotation because recall happens so nonlinearly and we won't have a hope to trace and trailmark without it. Hypothesis doesn't have time and date stamps of every sentence available to the user. So we don't know what nonlinear memory recall led to a specific sentence in an annotation. We need some independent Indyweb / Indranet tool that will do this universally. Trains of thoughts are so fragile we can forget the quick cascades very easily.

    1. Everything has a place so do better and find it. There is a certain belief that everything within app should be organized into functionally-named directories and any files placed in app/lib actually belongs in app/services or app/interactors or app/models or someplace if the developers just tried harder. The implication is that developers are bad developers if they don’t yet know what kind of constant they have and where its forever home should be. I reject this. Over the lifespan of an application, there will be constants that have not yet found their functional kin, if those kin ever come to exist at all; sometimes you simply need some code and a place to put it. app/lib can be the convention for where those constants can live temporarily or as long as necessary. Autoloading is really nice, let’s treat them to it.
    2. It is confusing that app/lib is named similarly to lib . I agree, but it is not uncommon to have directories with the same name and similar function nested under different contexts. I believe developers can handle this complexity. Most similarly, Linux has lib and usr/lib . Within a new Rails app, there are many such directories that are manageable: app/assets and lib/assets (sometimes even vendor/assets too) app/javascript and vendor/javascript storage and tmp/storage config and app/assets/config app/controllers and app/javascript/controllers

      • Comment

        • Robinson contextualizes the empiricist project and gap thereof, as one of the 4 goals of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
        • Robinson informally calls this the "Locke" problem, after one of the founders of the Empiricist school, John Locke.
        • Robinson also alludes to a Thomas Reed approach to realism that contends that we don't experience reality MEDIATELY, but IMMEDIATELY, thereby eliminating the gap problem altogether.
        • It's interesting to see how modern biology views the empericist's knowledge gap, especially form the perspective of the Umwelt and Sensory Ecology

    1. Before Ruby 3.2, there core class Time provided no way to to get back a Time value from any serialization, including even simple Time#inspect or #to_s. The Time.parse provided by standard library time (not core functionality, doesn’t work with explicit require 'time'), and tries to parse every imaginable format, while Time.new with string is stricter.
    2. Low-level processing of strings (like networks middleware, or efficient search algorithms, or packing/unpacking) might need an ability to operate on a level of single bytes, regardless of original string’s encoding. It is especially important while handling variable-length encodings like UTF-8. Before methods introduction, the only way to perform byte-level processing was to forcing string encoding into ASCII-8BIT, process, and then force encoding back.
    1. For me, I don't have an issue, but there was one syntax situation I found awkward: I need to sometimes know whether it is a class or a module that I am modifying. So I may have code: module Foo module Bar class Baz versus: class Foo::Bar::Baz It's not a huge issue, but ruby would yield an error if I specify a class or module incorrectly (which can happen if you spread code out into different .rb files, so I understand why there is an error message shown, to avoid accidents). But I then also wondered why I have to care whether it is a module or class, if my primary goal is to modify something, such as by adding a method. If I want to add a method: def foobar; end then I really should never be required to have to know whether I am modifying a class or a module.

    1. The point of acts_as_paranoid is keeping old versions around, not really destroying them, so you can look at past state, or roll back to past version. Do you consider the attached file part of the state you should be able to look at? If you roll back to past version, should it have it's attachment there too, in the restored version?
    1. After all, Luhmann himself didn’t have automatic backlinking. He had to manually add the cross-references to his analog notecards, and yet the system allowed him to write dozens of books and papers. Indeed, as Christian from Zettelkasten.de has said, automation might actually be an impediment to the cogitation and deep understanding the method seeks to engender.
    1. ActiveStorage has a different approach than what is suggested by @dhh here. The idea there seems to be to rule out a default and to explicitly set ActiveStorage::Current.url_options or by include ActiveStorage::SetCurrent. I don't understand why and asked about it in the Rails Forum. Maybe someone here can point out why we don't use a sensible default in ActiveStorage?

    1. I understand Duo follows the spec and attempts to make life easier by giving users the full 30 seconds, but unfortunately service providers don’t honor that recommendation, which leads to lockouts and a bunch of calls to our 1st line teams. You can’t tell users to stop using {platform}, but we can tell them to switch TOTP providers.

    1. I’ve heard-suggested that ActiveSupport, which does a ton of monkey-patching of core classes, would make potentially-nice refinements. I don’t hold this opinion strongly, but I disagree with that idea. A big value proposition of ActiveSupport is that it is “omnipresent” and sets a new baseline for ruby behaviors - as such, being global really makes the most sense. I don’t know that anyone would be pleased to sprinkle using ActiveSupport in all their files that use it - they don’t even want to THINK about the fact that they’re using it.
    1. Have you ever: Been disappointed, surprised or hurt by a library etc. that had a bug that could have been fixed with inheritance and few lines of code, but due to private / final methods and classes were forced to wait for an official patch that might never come? I have. Wanted to use a library for a slightly different use case than was imagined by the authors but were unable to do so because of private / final methods and classes? I have.
    2. The old wisdom "mark it private unless you have a good reason not to" made sense in days when it was written, before open source dominated the developer library space and VCS/dependency mgmt. became hyper collaborative thanks to Github, Maven, etc. Back then there was also money to be made by constraining the way(s) in which a library could be utilized. I spent probably the first 8 or 9 years of my career strictly adhering to this "best practice". Today, I believe it to be bad advice. Sometimes there's a reasonable argument to mark a method private, or a class final but it's exceedingly rare, and even then it's probably not improving anything.
    1. Are protected members/fields really that bad? No. They are way, way worse. As soon as a member is more accessible than private, you are making guarantees to other classes about how that member will behave. Since a field is totally uncontrolled, putting it "out in the wild" opens your class and classes that inherit from or interact with your class to higher bug risk. There is no way to know when a field changes, no way to control who or what changes it. If now, or at some point in the future, any of your code ever depends on a field some certain value, you now have to add validity checks and fallback logic in case it's not the expected value - every place you use it. That's a huge amount of wasted effort when you could've just made it a damn property instead ;) The best way to share information with deriving classes is the read-only property: protected object MyProperty { get; } If you absolutely have to make it read/write, don't. If you really, really have to make it read-write, rethink your design. If you still need it to be read-write, apologize to your colleagues and don't do it again :) A lot of developers believe - and will tell you - that this is overly strict. And it's true that you can get by just fine without being this strict. But taking this approach will help you go from just getting by to remarkably robust software. You'll spend far less time fixing bugs.

      In other words, make the member variable itself private, but can be abstracted (and access provided) via public methods/properties

    1. while I'm not as strongly against the above example code as the others, specifically because you did call it out as pseudocode and it is for illustrative purposes only, perhaps all of the above comments could be addressed by replacing your query = ... lines with simple query = // Insert case-sensitive/insensitive search here comments as that keeps the conversation away from the SQL injection topic and focuses on what you're trying to show. In other words, keep it on the logic, not the implementation. It will silence the critics.
    2. I know this is an old question but I just want to comment here: To any extent email addresses ARE case sensitive, most users would be "very unwise" to actively use an email address that requires capitals. They would soon stop using the address because they'd be missing a lot of their mail. (Unless they have a specific reason to make things difficult, and they expect mail only from specific senders they know.) That's because imperfect humans as well as imperfect software exist, (Surprise!) which will assume all email is lowercase, and for this reason these humans and software will send messages using a "lower cased version" of the address regardless of how it was provided to them. If the recipient is unable to receive such messages, it won't be long before they notice they're missing a lot, and switch to a lowercase-only email address, or get their server set up to be case-insensitive.
    1. A flaw can become entrenched as a de facto standard. Any implementation of the protocol is required to replicate the aberrant behavior, or it is not interoperable. This is both a consequence of applying the robustness principle, and a product of a natural reluctance to avoid fatal error conditions. Ensuring interoperability in this environment is often referred to as aiming to be "bug for bug compatible".
    1. Since using case insensitivity is so widespread, take their sign up email address and make it lower case. Whenever they try to log in, convert that to lowercase as well, for comparison purposes, when you go to see if the user exists. As far as sign up and sign in go, do a case insensitive comparison. If the person signs up as Steve@example.com, you'll still want to allow them to sign in later with steve@example.com or sTeVE@example.com.
    2. But you should also keep track of the email address that they signed up with in a case sensitive fashion. Any time you send an email to them, be sure to send it with that original casing. This allows the email server to handle it however it feels like it needs to. So even though the person may always be signing in to your site with steve@example.com, if they signed up as Steve@example.com, you'll always send email to Steve@example.com, just to be safe.
    1. we split the head from the hands, or isolate humane studies from practicallife, we unfortunately tend to suppose that a liberal cultural education is the rightof only an elite few—the heads. Don’t we all—and not just the socially advantaged“heads”—deserve an education that prioritizes human growth?

      YES ABSOLUTELY!!!!

    2. . The problem arises when institutions and policymakers assume,following the logic of the industrial model, that our primary and overriding edu-cational aim is thus to train students to fit the specifications of this existing infra-structure.

      BARSSSSS

    3. The mission of K–12 and higher educationis, in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s infamous words last year, “to develop humanresources to meet the state’s workforce needs.”

      Ridiculous. But indicative of how much of the system is set up, in relaity

    4. “A being of infinitescope,” she wrote, “must not be treated with an exclusive view to any one relation. . . . Give the soul free course. . . and the being will be fit for any and every relationto which it may be called.”1

      Right, and that is particularly what is stripped away when people are only seen as employees. When the personage of workers is ignored, they are restricted in relation only to vocation.

    1. Google allowed third parties to build their own Wave services (be it private or commercial) because it wanted the Wave protocol to replace the e-mail protocol.[2][16][17] Initially, Google was the only Wave service provider, but it was hoped that other service providers would launch their own Wave services, possibly designing their own unique web-based clients as is common with many email service providers.
