Just be careful; if you find the coin then you’ll have to write the next one!

I'd probably consider the individual inference machine (GPU, TPU, etc.) to be the deodand in that case.

A mixed strategy of say 75% British / 25% Canadian wheat could be an interesting point to explore.

Then, you would get 75% of the local support benefit while having a potentially better product.

(ratios theoretical; you know more than me!)

This one is open source. Open source games are posted here semi-regularly.

Does anyone know whether GNU Taler is involved in any way with these proposals? I feel like they'd be the natural people to work on anonymity. Looking at their website, I see that they've at least commented on them:

https://www.taler.net/en/news/2026-08.html

Would it be correct to say that this is an example of the “Actually Serial Execution” strategy for implementing serializable transactions in the terminology of “Designing Data Intensive Applications”?

(I mention this mainly as a keyword that people can look up for more information)

Maybe https://play.typeracer.com ?

Yeah... I do have some issues with the book. I think that the cards tend to be weighted towards things that women care more about, which naturally means that women end up being responsible for more of them. And different cards require different amounts of time to handle.

The way that I’ve tried to handle this is to focus on equalizing “total time per week spent on managing cards”, which requires time-tracking but is more fair, and also negotiating a modified set of cards.

The book kinda suggests both of those but I think that in practice most people don’t implement them.

And, as you said, the tone of the book can be off-putting at times. I still feel like it’s the best available resource for this problem.

There’s a pretty interesting self-help book that is designed to help couples share domestic and family work equally; I thought it was an interesting read. It makes exactly the same point about rockstar husbands that contribute less than their spouses.

https://www.fairplaylife.com/the-book

The central idea is a set of 100 cards representing various tasks that are necessary for running a household, that you split up between the two partners. Supposedly women tend to hold ~80 of the cards in most relationships.

The online discourse around this book can be kinda vitriolic (lots of examples of it starting arguments) but I do think that it’s a good starting point if you want to genuinely try to contribute equally.

On the reddit mobile app, the same action (tapping) that minimizes a comment also clicks through an ad, and ads are visually very similar to comments.

Many times a day, I will accidentally click on an ad when intending to minimize a comment.

This is a really well-written short article, and I agree with it completely.

I just wanted to add as well that, as someone who has read quite a lot of books on self-help and productivity, there is one that makes a lot of similar points: "Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts--Becoming the Person You Want to Be"

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22544758-triggers

I recommend it to anyone who agrees with this article and feels like a book-length treatment of similar ideas would be helpful to them.

That could definitely be it. I didn’t get a clear view of the driver’s seat, so I don’t know whether or not the driver was manually controlling it.

I personally saw a Waymo in NYC on June 26th at 14th St and 8th Avenue, so they’ve done some recent testing at least.

This exists in clang for C++ as the statement attribute [[clang::musttail]] and in gcc as [[gnu::musttail]]

> It's early in the year. You want to drive straight through the middle of Chinatown in SF. Why might that be a bad idea?

I feel like a Google Maps-style system would discover this automatically by noting via phone location data that there is heavy traffic in Chinatown.

(I do get the author’s point, but I think that factually this example would not be a problem)

Wow, it seems like this might beat out flite for very-low-memory TTS? I ended up abandoning a project of mine because I couldn't get high enough quality or low enough memory usage out of flite, so I'm very excited to try this out.

Flite for comparison: https://github.com/festvox/flite

The part that confuses me is that they use “it” to name a variable that is not actually an iterator. That’s very bad style. I would name it “s”.

This is awesome. Congrats on shipping!

The nearest thing that I've heard of is Wolfram Alpha's step-by-step solution solvers, but the worry with those is always that it's too easy for the student to just keep clicking next step and not learn anything.

I appreciate how this frames algebra as a puzzle instead of a problem :)

The Wolfram thing: https://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/pro-features/step-by-s...

Specifically this one: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=find+t+for+t%5E2+%2B+3t...

It's a question of "value created" vs "value captured". They captured about as much value as the risk-free rate of return.

Value that is created but not captured (e.g. the value of consumers enjoying games and consoles above and beyond the price that those consumers paid) is typically not considered when making business decisions.

He is prolific!

Thank you for sharing your site as well :)

It seems like this cell barely evolves, because the system they built for duplicating the DNA makes very few errors.

Natural life tends to evolve, which may have consequences for production.

For example, quorn production has to be restarted from a seed population after ~1000 hours because it tends to evolve colonial variants that break the product standards: https://www.davidmoore.org.uk/21st_century_guidebook_to_fung...

This is the first that I'm hearing about this, but I don't think that your telling is quite right. The Dallas school district is "Dallas ISD", not Dallas County Schools.

Dallas County Schools was apparently a school bus service provider that served many different school districts in the area. I don't know why they named it that...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_County_Schools

That situation looks pretty bad, but what happened was that a public school bus services provider went bankrupt, the school districts that it served became responsible for finding private replacement service providers, and residents of the service area had their property taxes raised to pay off the debt.

No school districts went bankrupt or were split up, just school bus service providers.

Done. That was quite interesting, although I see what you mean. I did skip over some of the sections about how to teach concept maps to elementary school students and some of the examples given.

I think my conclusion is that he's probably right that producing and discussing concept maps is the fastest way to share and validate conceptual understanding, so I'll add them to my toolkit.

I'd never heard of the Gowin's Vee chart before (the other main topic of the book) and it seems useful although I can't realistically see a situation where I'd personally use it. There are quite a few similar "planning process" or "research process" systems that cover similar ground. I do like how this one is relatively "zoomed out" to make sure first-and-foremost that your investigation is actually answering some meaningful question within your wider cognitive context.

> which TBH is so dry I'm not sure anyone I've recommended it to has actually finished it :)

Challenge accepted!

That is cool, although it took me awhile to understand it because the posterior probability is on the left and the prior probability is on the right, and because it uses D=Disease and T=Test when I am used to seeing D=Data.

Since PCA maps are fun to look at, here’s one for modern-day populations:

This made me smile because I did exactly the same thing (i.e. I also read Anna Karenina in 7th grade, and was very pretentious). I mostly read during lunch periods when it probably would have been a better idea to be developing my social skills.

I remember being most interested in Konstantin Levin's efforts to modernize his farm estate.

I think that at the time I thought that I understood the difficult books that I was reading fully, but looking back on it I must have missed so much. I'll need to have a re-read one of these days.

I just skimmed the summary but in the results section it reports three significant results and two after “multiple-test correction”. I’m not sure how they did that correction; I would expect that measures of cognitive performance are correlated for each child and so the standard Bonferroni correction might be too harsh to apply here.

> Covariate-adjusted analyses of standardized scores (mean [SD], 0 [1]; higher values indicating better performance) showed positive associations of high-dose vitamin D3 with verbal memory (β = 0.17 SD; 95% CI, 0.03-0.32 SD; P = .02), visual memory (β = 0.24 SD; 95% CI, 0.06-0.42 SD; P = .01), and flexibility or set shift (β = 0.19 SD; 95% CI, 0.01-0.37 SD; P = .04); however, high-dose vitamin D3 was no longer associated with flexibility or set shift after multiple test correction.

It seems to be a real definition, see definition 6 under etymology 2:

> (transitive, law, especially New Zealand)[1] To subject [someone] to a trespass notice, formally notifying them that they are prohibited from entry to a property, such that any current or future presence there will constitute trespass, (especially) criminal trespass
