> but it’s a massive red flag when someone starts to define themselves and their views substantially in terms of that opposition.

Anyone from the other side could make the same argument (and they often do).

If you're trying to name a "us versus them" then there's just one big mainstream entity, the rest is fragmented. So it's not really a "red flag" because opposition is by definition not a coherent group.

I wouldn't call her a charlatan, but I would call many people on the "other side" that. Wading through BS is practically a full-time job and she's very good at it.

If "low morale" is really the bottleneck then we aren't getting any science done anyway.

And as an aside, I don't believe in group / peer based "science". There's a few geniuses (often not credited) that define the entire thing while everyone else seems to practically be in marketing by comparison.

Science can be a group institution, but educational institutes are far from it.

Criticism and disbelief are the bedrock of Science, and calling people that don't flock to still-unproven claims "science deniers" is very dystopian. There's also entire groups of phenomena that "hard" / popular science conveniently ignores. They all fall under Science by definition, but not under science-the-religion.

What sort of long-running commands are you using?

There's an `async` call for system functions in elisp.

"Who watches the watchmen?"

We need more Sabine Hossenfelders. Too bad natural hierarchies seek to excommunicate such people.

Isn't this just Urbit with extra steps?

I'll have you know that crypto astrologers exist.

> Typist and the Rest of the Mob

>We adopted the terminology from Code with the Wisdom of the Crowd by Mark Pearl:

>One person controls the keyboard, this is the typist. The rest of the mob discusses the problem, agrees on the solution, and instructs the typist. The typist follows their instructions, puts them into code, and may ask clarifying questions to understand the solution. The rest of the mob guides the typist as needed.

>We value the typist as they allow the rest of the mob to focus on solving the problem.

>The typist must not code on their own. This balances the participation of all team members and it reduces the dominance of strong characters.

That sounds horrible!

What most people don't get is that Michael Scott was a Genius.

Emacs' magit is the best out there.

Rainbow brackets really help.

Have you seriously tried using emacs yet? I always find this sort of text editor comparisons pointless.

And anyway, emacs is hardly a "text editor". It's a text manipulation engine, likely the only one.

I remember when people used to visit wikileaks for a Sublime Text license key.

The way it's framed, it seems as if it's not possible to be a "good worker" if you take the recommended breaks.

Might not be factually true but that's what the article seems to imply.

You monster.

Why did reddit use such a shitty design, anyway? To maximize clicks / number of pages visited?

old.reddit.com is the only sensible reddit interface, the mobile app sucks. Even the old m.reddit.com was pretty great..

Are you in Chaos Monkeys?

If that happened today you'd be famous online.

Anyway, I think automation and its consequences are much more complex these days and beyond the understanding of any non-technical / "not in the know" person. People used to know that "robots would take our jobs" but now that's not always true. The people writing completely "harmless" software are likely responsible for many, many bad things that would be difficult to even assign the blame for.

The world cup doesn't matter.

Wow. You should write a post about it that goes deep into what you had to do to make it work.

For anyone looking for a more polished version of the same with more features, search for "sidebery" on the firefox addons store.

It's a business, they don't do it out of the goodness of their hearts. It's an unintended byproduct.

WITCH salaries are a joke, no wonder they deliver substandard results.

I think it will be similar to how diffusion-based image generation currently relies on what the model is trained on.

This might work well for average folks, but for anyone sufficiently out of the norm / with expertise/mental hardware outside of the bounds of the trained model, the results will be subpar / useless.

A lot of macOS users are suckers for any sort of themed-up applications that can be replicated in their normal setups without any extra software, had they just bothered to RTFM.

This is also available in bash. In emacs input mode (aka the default) one can press C-x C-e to edit the current command in an editor.

`v` is also available in vi input mode.

Thanks for the heads up, I contacted them via email. Turns out my account was flagged automatically and the ban's been lifted now.

I'm very wary of all these companies building their offerings on GPT-3. It's dependent on OpenAI until it's cheap enough to host your own instance, and then they wouldn't have a proper service to offer anyway.

Also, GPT-3 completion is pretty hacky, and anyone who needs it on an information organization pipeline is not taking it seriously anyway.

Emacs + Magit, and never looked back.

Who is the author of this piece?

If all you need is a static website, you can do it for under $10/year if you use AWS S3. Alternatively, Cloudflare pages is free.

The Bitcoin SV people are the only idealists left.

Slavery is far from dead, the modern world is built on the back of slaves (not slaves from a few generations ago, slaves that exist now). It's just very ubiquitous, like the Roman using Lead in everything.
