Alex Jones has openly advocated for the murder of multiple people, including both our last president and his would-be party successor. He has openly incited violent acts against an innocent business, whilst also slandering their character and reputation, for profit. He has accused parents of murdered children of making it up, for profit. He hasn't just "said things", he's committed acts which have had resulted in significant harm to others.

There's a very big difference between a blowhard who just says things and a blowhard who tries to have people killed. I really hope you can see that.

Of course it works, why wouldn't it? If you want a crippled device that never lets anything access to data, you can always buy a dumbphone.
I know because I did a presentation on ants in high school (or was it primary school, hmm), but I'm not sure how common knowledge that is. Unless you're a biologist it's also completely irrelevant to know -- and even then, I can imagine depending on your exact job, it might still be irrelevant.
That is not the most obvious explanation from my perspective. A more "obvious" perspective to me is that female doctors are better at treating female patients because they possess a better understanding of them. I believe that a big part of managing post-heart attack patients has to do with lifestyle changes. It seems very plausible that a female doctor could do a better job (on average) when helping their female patients in that area of their lives.
The failure mode that keeps happening is that the trusted central third party charges high fees to access the database.

Furthermore, you can have an outsized impact by letting your congressperson know why you're voting for / against them. Better yet, form a group with like-minded colleagues and speak as a group.

A vote "against" without communicating intent doesn't drive recourse in the way you would like.

"X is the most important issue to me this election cycle, and will determine whether I vote for you and donate to your campaign" is clearer and more powerful.
except how is this market captured? Seems to be more supply-chain and scale, or R&D in the actual product. These guys appear to hope for the former, but not sure how they can beat the bigger players other than some vague comments akin to leveraging supplier and customer data. The smaller startups that have built online presence have already focused really well on streamlining the experience, order fulfillment and customer service at low prices; how much margin is left to be the new player and compete on price?
I linked to an article by a law professor explaining the issues.

Courts cannot always address such issues anyway due to the doctrine of “standing”. For instance, government in the 90s pressured the video game industry to self regulate by establishing a rating system and prohibiting the sale of M rated games to minors in various chain stores. If the government themselves had passed such a law it would have been subject to lawsuit under the 1A, but because it was a voluntary action by the industry there is no one to sue (after all, by suing the industry who put these standards in place, one could say that you’re now violating their right to free speech and association!)

But to summarize it simply, the government cannot outlaw using a racial slur under common 1st amendment doctrine. However it can outlaw a company allowing an employee to use a racial slur in the workplace. While this is a good result (I don’t want to work somewhere where my coworkers use such slurs) it’s an interesting example of how the power of government is less limited by 1A than one might think at first.

Similarly, YouTube, Facebook, etc have been getting a lot of flack from the government lately over Russian bots, trolls, etc. Moves like these to boot InfoWars could be smart business to placate the Democrats who may soon be in power. Infowars has been awful trash for years, and plenty of awful stuff remains on their platforms after all.
Either I know far more depressed and anxious people than is statistically likely or there is some degree of over-reporting going on.

And I think I explicitly said that I don't question them. I keep it to myself, because if I'm right to question them, the rewards are minimal, but if I'm wrong, then the risks are greater.

I also think you're reading me wrong. It's not "You're stronger than you think you are." It's more like a child over-selling their accident for attention. I don't believe that it's as serious as being made out.

And where did I say anyone is simple in the aggregate or individually? I noted certain trends, that's all. And while people are not simple in aggregate or individually, statistics can't be beat.

It's good that they revised that ridiculous restriction, but I think they should go further still.

Great results that deserve congratulations- but they show nothing of the sort.

Facebook, Spotify, and Apple realized that continuing to allow Alex Jones to remain on their platforms would result in substantial harm to the commercial viability of their platforms, as a result of boycotts, lawsuits, etc. by the 99% of people that Alex Jones spends his life spewing lies about.

It was an easy financial decision. Hell, they could have faced absolutely massive shareholder lawsuits if they hadn't kicked him off their platforms.
> Why is it OK for Facebook to use this data to sell things directly, but not when they partner with external advertisers? Why should the public trust Facebook with this highly sensitive data?

It's, in theory, vaguely better. When partnering, they have a contract with the external party, and not you. So there's nothing stopping their partners selling it to whomever.

That being said, Facebook is already on 'thin ice' with me. But it doesn't seem to deter them too much, other than feel good ads about how Facebook loves us all.
Human beings are restricted to what's on the screen, which includes not only the camera's perspective of the playfield but also, crucially, the minimap in the corner of the screen. Plus there's weird stuff like how you don't have perfect information about the health/mana of your teammates unless you hold down Alt... so yeah OpenAI is "cheating" somewhat and it would be really cool to see, once it evolves further, restrictions that allow it to better mimic human player capabilities.

That said, everything they've done so far is absolutely incredible (especially now that the AI can draft!!)
IMO a clarion call to do one of two things: Either stop using Facebook. Or start pushing politically.

We either need people to have either greater control over the data companies have retain and use (Europe's approach). Restrictions on what that data can be used for and the ways in which companies and people may treat you differently due to that data.
Its a really fine number of people who can benefit from cloud gaming right now. Even Parsec advertises:

> We know, however, that cloud gaming is not right for everyone today. If you play more than 8-10 hours of games each week and you want the best experience possible, you should still build/buy your own gaming PC.

And that's the number I'd say; ~8 hours per week. Less than that and cloud gaming might make sense. But any more and you'll save money by just building a desktop. Because let's say you're charged $0.60/hr; that's roughly $20/mo @ 8hr/week. A typical gaming PC might last 3 years, especially nowadays with the tremendously powerful GTX 10-series cards and the lack of innovation across both the CPU and GPU spaces. That'll cost lets say $700 (targeting 1080p60, low-range i5, GTX 1050Ti, etc). That's $20/mo averaged out.

My hope is that Nvidia/AMD can continue to make 10x jumps in graphics card tech, because we've already hit 1080p60 and that's enough for most people for a while. So if the next generation GTX 11-series (or more accurately, the Tesla V-series) cards can fit more 1080p60 streams on each card, that should lower the price of cloud gaming. And on and on. But I think, as far as technologies today go, it doesn't make much sense.

That directly contradicts this:

> The researchers divided 500,000-plus cases into four categories: male doctors treating men; male doctors treating women; female doctors treating men; and female doctors treating women. “All of those are statistically indistinguishable except for male doctor–female patient,” says Brad Greenwood, an author on the study and a data scientist at the University of Minnesota.
> If you believe that a company whose whole purpose is to use data on you to sell ads won't use data on you that it collects to sell ads then I have a bridge to sell you.

On this particular case I would probably agree with you, but I'm not sure it's true in general. From what I understand, for example, Facebook doesn't use your messages for ads. It seems unlikely but not 100% implausible that it could be the same here.
DC should just let Amazon run the city government as Amazon sees fit. I wouldn’t mind living in an Amazon company town, I bet they’d shape things up around here.
I’d also posit that female ER doctors could as a group, simply be better than the average male.

Not inherent to their gender, but because they are a more motivated group to overcome the systemic bias in medicine to get there.

If you get to 50/50 this would mean the stats converge, but the same findings would need to be repeated across other conditions as well.
> As from laning to team fight, and item building.

I was disappointed to hear one of the devs say that item selection was hard-coded following a popular guide (don't think they communicated this before).

This is OK, because what matters the most is that it won. It was previously impossible to build hard-coded AIs that would even beat decent players, and now the AI has beaten some pro players (albeit not the best of the best); but it'll still be nice to see superior item buying strategies being learned.
They exist today, too.

I believe Go initially had a conservative collector for the stack and switched to precise:

Chess is a poor example because it's a turn-based game whereas Dota is real-time and incredibly fast-paced. Visually parsing a chessboard to know which piece is which is trivial, and also you have all the time in the world to do it (between turns). In Dota things happen so quickly, particle effects pop off all over the place, and through all of it, you have to constantly manually re-place your camera in the optimal position.

In chess, both players always have perfect information about the game-state, and this is far from the case in Dota. OpenAI does account for fog of war, so it's not COMPLETELY omniscient, but it is still more omniscient than human players ever have the ability to be, without having to fiddle with the camera etc.
Theres lots to unpack here.

> He is an opportunity. By becoming a lightening rod and focal point for a large fraction of a country's misguided thinking, he has made that misguided thinking more fragile. Easier to dislodge. Because now you just need to find a combination of words that helps his followers see him for what he actually is.

His followers see themselves in him. Attack him and they will feel attacked. Attacked people don’t change their minds, they dig into their beliefs harder. The only way to change peoples minds is to realize that you can’t. You can only make it safe for them to change their own minds.

> And if you succeed, everyone who sees will get a lesson in thinking more clearly. They will be more resilient to a future charlatan.

Not without first accepting that they themselves were wrong. This is hard. People see them selves as right. To admit they are wrong is to destroy a little part of themselves (ego).

> So if Alex Jones makes your blood boil, then put that emotion to work. Raise his platform. Discuss him. Debunk his ideas one by one. Use whichever tools appeal to you. If youtube wants to help, then youtube algorithms should be tweaked to encourage people to view both sides of the debate.

Rational debate doesn’t change peoples minds unless they identify as rational people. Then being rationally coherent is important, more so than being right, so they can change their minds. Not everyone holds being rationally coherent that close to their identity.

People will often just dig in harder to avoid being wrong.

For every 100 people you expose him to, some N% find them selves agreeing. The more you talk about him, the more you share and “raise his platform” the more followers you get him.

I see now that they had to scale down again to only 36% of the original results:

>"A large effort to reproduce high-impact cancer research has scaled down the number of studies it plans to replicate from 50 to 18, Science reported yesterday (July 31).

[...]

Hurdles to replicating experiments included a lack of detailed protocols and easily obtainable reagents. “Communication and sharing are low-hanging fruit that we can work on to improve,” Elizabeth Iorns, the president of Science Exchange, tells Science."
https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/effort-to-reprodu...

Yup, the entire system is set up for an environment of no replication. How do you expect to cure cancer without making reproducibility a priority? I'd expect people who don't do that will end up thinking everything is "so complicated" due to all the conflicting results they generate, eg "one disease" becomes "many diseases".
The source from Vox is Media Matters, which is literally a Democrat party source. I watched the video therein, and it's farily clear he's talking about the Emmanuels, not Jews as a whole.

This is a good article, but I feel like using Postgres instead of SQLite on the server side would achieve his goals even better:

- No need to link with C code. There's a pure go driver for Postgres.

- You get the 'psql' command to inspect and change the database, even while the web app is running.

- You get a lot more database features.

- You can keep the deployment simple by running Postgres on the web app server until you need to scale up.

- Conversion to a full blown cloud database and horizontal scaling is just a matter of configuration.

I understand the desire to keep the stack as simple as possible, but it looks to me like Postgres would actually be simpler than SQLite for the server side.

I got the impression that they weren't particularly looking for a hero pool with a "deathball" meta, and the hero pool they selected had more to do with those being some of the simplest heroes to program at first. There is a lot of overlap between with the heroes they implemented and the set of introductory heroes that are recommended for new players who are playing their first games.

Regarding the insane reaction, I wonder if there is a natural way to handicap the AI to more human-like reaction times. Reaction time is not a good measure on its own because human reaction time can vary a lot depending on the level of surprise.

That said, my impression from watching the game was that the power of the AI had less to do with perfect reaction time and more to do with their "hive mind" coordination. If an enemy ever gets in the wrong position, they are immediately punished by a concerted attack. Humans have a harder time doing this because they need to communicate their intentions first. Sometimes each player will be focusing their attention on a different target.
The thing is that most of the web and the printed word is spam that will actively confuse you the more that you read it. Compare the newspaper to a cookbook. The cookbook, if it's good, can be tested for effectiveness quite readily even allowing for variations in things like your ingredients and how your oven functions as compared to the one in the author's test kitchen.

It's a good thing that I have a memory and can compare interpretations and predictions made by different outlets in the media with subsequent events to evaluate their reliability.
