I think the bigger concern is that mail in ballots lead to fake ballots being submitted. Though I've seen no convincing evidence of this happening at any meaningful scale and the arguments seem unconvincing since you don't get a b

Proving that you voted is different than proving you voted for a specific candidate. In fact, the one isn't nearly as big of a privacy concern (if any at all). I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me the former could be done wi

I don't think it's just age, and I think the comparison to working out is apt. To gain muscle you need to get tired. To restate my previous comment in this framework: to gain muscle you need to struggle; you can go too far and inj

While I agree with a lot of what you said, your comment implies catalysts and accelerants don't matter. The roots of the problem are very real and very complex but forcing them to be addressed quickly throws people into panic mode and

So you know which sort to call because there isn't a right answer for all cases. And so you can write your own because you're probably going to want to sort data in a specific way. Sort doesn't mean in numerical increasing or

People should also remember that scaling means very small percentages are still very big numbers. 0.01% of active steam users is still several thousand people. Which may seem small but it is probably 10x more people than you're frien

I'd think it's quite common to have "abusive friends" on Steam. It's not uncommon to get invites from people you've never met offline and were just in a game you played together. In that setting I don't th

People forget that struggling is part of the learning process. It's great that people want to make things easier to learn, but struggling is essential. You want to ensure that people don't struggle so much they get stuck (one extr

> I think that is a developer's superpower. I do too, but only because we can do both. I think comparing math education to programming education is quite apt here. After all, programming is math[0]. Both are extremely abstra

It amazes me how much we've embraced dependency hell. Surely we need some dependencies but certainly we're going overboard. On a side note, I wonder how much of this is due to the avoidance of abstraction. I hear so many say that

The mines are already being placed. There are plenty of people vibe coding C programs. Despite C documentation and examples being more prolific than rust, well... C vulnerabilities are quite easy to create and are even in those examples. Yo

I'm a machine learning researcher myself and one of the things that frustrates me is that many of my peers really embrace the "black box" notion of ML models. There are plenty of deep thinkers too, but like with any topic the

by godelski 10mo ago
What concerns me is that learning depth is more discouraged than ever. For a long time it's been discouraged, which is natural as we have a preference for simple things rather than difficult/complex things. But we're pushing

Honestly, in many ways it feels like quality is decreasing. I'm also not convinced it's a function of model quality. The model isn't going to do something if the prompter doesn't even know. It does what the programmer as

I'm not convinced. Honestly it seems like we're in a market of lemons and I don't know how we escape the kind of environment that is ripe for lemons. To get out requires customers to be well informed at the time of purchase.

Very true. But I didn't want to discuss elegance and abstraction as people seem to misunderstand abstraction in programming. I mean all programming is abstraction... abstraction isn't to be avoided, but things can become too abstr

I'm sure those will help. But that doesn't solve the problem the parent stated. Those robots can't solve those real world problems until they can reason, till they can hypothesize, till they can experiment, till they can abst
