But this is counter to the claim it's (simple) settled case law

If I’m walking your dog and it bites someone, am I responsible or you? Does the manner in which I was controlling them matter?

git worktrees are the canonical solution

What is a ‘wicked’ problem?

> For 99% of users, we gladly accept these more "invasive" anti-cheats because it means less cheating in the games we enjoy.

The modal user likely doesn’t even know anti-cheat exists, and if they did, wouldn’t care at all. They just want to play the game.

> Most of us were able to earn money to buy a pizza or some additional snack betting on teams, or trading keys.

Unless I'm missing something, this is zero sum -- so it follows that a bunch of people mostly lost money (perhaps also during their childhoods)

Sure theoretically. Outcomes are dramatically better if someone else is around

I once did a course with a paramedic on basic aid. We were discussing choking, which is a condition that really needs a 2nd party to intervene. Someone asked what to do if you live alone (with no close neighbours) - the answer was essentially ‘good luck’

Thanks, this is a fascinating note.

You’re right that really it’s collaborative production that’s the heart, and there’s no real benefit to LLMs.

It does feel like some classical explore/exploit algorithms could be interesting, but I imagine the challenge to any effort is really just getting enough high quality contributors

Because the numbers are less than 1 sqrt pulls them towards 1 (the edge)

There’s a now quite dated comment from Merlin Mann: "Joining a Facebook group about productivity is like buying a chair about jogging.”

It’s fuzzy - but my recollection was Mann was a fairly renown productivity influencer (although I guess we wouldn’t have called it that then), who had an apostasy about it all.

Given this is 4 years old; did any sites take on the feedback?

> Home runs, walks, and strikeouts now dominate baseball, with 35% of plate appearances ending without involving seven defensive players. This has reduced balls in play by 20% since 1980, creating longer games with less action

Do baseball fans ever discuss potentially changing the rules or game setup to mitigate this?

I feel like you want some higher moments on these. At least the standard deviation would be useful on top of the expectation.
