> Looking from abroad, democrats and republicans are almost the same. And this is the core of the problem, and the deeper root of polarization. Can you elaborate on this? How does similarity between the parties cause polarization?

What do you do when the context itself is cynical? Like an authoritarian regime. In those cases “just being optimistic” is a laughable suggestion. This extends to the class and race struggle within “free” societies. To me, there’s a deep li

One way I’ve seen it put, that resonates with me, is that axioms are invented but theorems are discovered. That is nicely self-evident. The idea that axioms are also discovered is … iffy, but it happens in some cases. E.g., discovering that

The empathetic perspective is that these CEOs and boards don’t have national allegiance. They are trying to optimize globally, and China is more exploitable in the sense of getting a steeper growth curve out of it.

I agree partially, but SIGGRAPH and CVPR are highly regarded and aren't known to accept crappy work. There are some "soft" sub-fields of CS that can be a wash, like HCI and Software Engineering. Those fields have relied more

The way it likely works is the prof drives the vast majority of idea/IP development and the students do the work under the prof's guidance. Then the prof "frames" the paper and does part of the writing, especially in int

I tried it on a hello world example and was surprised to see that when I run `python test.py` it opens the app at a https://console.pglet.io URL -- it seems to copy my code into the cloud when I run it.

It sounds like in the case of Felix, he started his company while he was a Ph.D. student.

That guy Felix Heide is a research powerhouse. He and his group published 4 papers in SIGGRAPH 21, 7 papers in CVPR 21 and 6 papers in CVPR 2020, wow. https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~fheide/

Thanks for the extra context. Still, I would imagine that an employer would feel free to ghost any email or application from an unknown person unless it came with a specific recommendation from someone they know.

So you just sent “a memo” for an ad you found on a newsletter and never heard back, and this is shocking somehow?

A job applicant doesn’t have a hiring department with a codified process and team so it’s not quite symmetric.

I pay under $400/mo for a pretty good marketplace plan. That’s not prohibitive.

The theory that a huge percentage of Tucker's audience is watching it knowing full well that Tucker is a full of shit zero-content "satirist" just isn't convincing at all. Unfortunately, though, it has been convincing to

Your parenthetical statement casts a large shadow over the rest of your statement, because yes, control varies, and people with low control (correlates with low education) are precisely the ones who fall prey to cynical propaganda.

Thanks for the pointer. Elastic tabstops is a cool idea.

> No one likes to be controlled by someone else. The irony is that millions of the people you’re trying to defend as free-thinkers who can look at any speech and make good choices, are literally controlled by Fox News and Alex Jones prop

I'd say your maximalist view is not maximal enough, by requiring tabs. Why not store code in the most minimal way possible (one-liner, no whitespace [assuming whitespace-insensitive languages]) and let viewers and editors wrap and inde

The asinine argument at the heart of that rant is that we should format our code so it's more greppable. Let's not consider making a better/semantic grep that can match code. Let's all instead insert strategic line break

I’m not joking. But California is a really bad example because it still ignorantly celebrates the Spanish conquests that murdered, displaced, and whitewashed American Natives — see all the parks and roads named after Spanish conquistadors w

You can buy a decent starter house for under 100k in Mississippi, Missouri, Virginia, Kansas, and a bunch of other places. Real estate is mostly only inflated in top cities and competitive vacation/retirement towns. Look at Laurel and

The broader way to see it is that people are trying to bake reactivity into these old school paradigms that have a lot of good things about them in terms of separation of concerns and working with data, but suck at reactivity.

To add to that: When the platform is down, editing in production is the fastest way to bring it back up.

The price and the system are really inseparable from each other. If bitcoin was worth $0, there would be no computers running it and so it wouldn't exist as a system. So the system does require faith to work.

Why not use a full blown programming language? The higher level workflow stuff can be a library.

My M1 Air gets a ton of abuse and I don't see any abnormal perf issues. There was a super annoying bug where the laptop would crash when I closed the lid with a bluetooth mouse connected, but that's it. I'm still on Big Sur,
