There’s quite a bit of pearl clutching and slippery slope going on in this article, but I’m not buying it.

Let’s be incredibly clear what the disinformation we’re talking about here. It’s Qanon, “COVID is fake”, “COVID is a Chinese bioweapon”, “Biden stole the election”, and most recently Jewish space lasers. Human Events is a famous very conservative publication, and the Republican Party had embraced conspiracy theories as a way to motivate their base since Bill Clinton’s “Arkansas Flu” death squads. Even this article tries to hold up discredited misinformation as stuff “they” don’t want you to know, while conveniently leaving out all context to fabricate a “gotcha” moment.

These are discredited conspiracy theories spouted by prominent figures in the party, and spread widely, and unquestioningly, in conservative media. It’s the mainstream thought in an increasingly extreme party. So of course, Human Events sees the real problem as a calling bullshit on bullshit, not the actual bullshit being spread.

I have two sons. One was a handful when he hit puberty and one was not. I sat both of them and a friend of theirs down one day to talk to the one who was a handful and talked to him about the impact of hormones on his mood. The punchline for that conversation was "Your problem is called testosterone, not My Bitch Mother."

All three boys laughed and all three boys were easier to cope with afterwards.
Don't worry about sounding harsh! The whole point is to find people that understand the problem and want to help get to a solution. I'd rather you speak directly than worry about sounding harsh.

There is a prototype! Click the link under "Proof of Concept". You can also watch the IndieGogo video for a description.

Divorce doesn't mean that the participants failed, or that they entered into the marriage simply out of utility.

On the contrary, by their own measure, it is a failure. No one gets married anticipating or wanting a divorce. Everyone wants it to last forever.

That's why the comment you responded to suggested a time-bounded contract. Which no one wants.

Have you ever gone through a divorce? Mine was amicable, but even then it was the worst thing I've ever experienced.
If you are faced with a decision where one option gives you warm fuzzy feelings it doesn't mean that the appealing option is any more likely to be incorrect, just that you need to be more careful when deciding. Preferring the less enjoyable option is just as irrational as preferring the more enjoyable option. In fact, all things being equal, you should choose the enjoyable one because at least then you get some enjoyment from it

Thanks for the explanation. Pivoting through English isn't ideal, but I'm just glad someone is working on this at all.

Thinking about it a bit more, it's a bit weird that the failure mode of a weak model would be to regurgitate the input unchanged. I'd rather have expected random Chinese gibberish in that case. Doesn't that mean the model has seen at least a few cases where English sentences were left untranslated in the training data?

I wanted to download the training data to check, but the instructions here https://github.com/argosopentech/onmt-models#download-data say to use OPUS-Wikipedia, which has no en-zh pairs, so the Chinese data must be from some other source.
Why would people that pay taxes prefer that model? So, I pay the same taxes and then I also get to spend a lot more on food for my family?

Good luck getting support for that.

That's the confusing thing. Appealing to rich twitter users/journalists/the public doesn't strike me as a particularly good strategy for raising research funds!

Random rich people rarely fund individual researchers. More common for them to fund an institute (perhaps even by starting a new one). The institute then awards grants based on recommendations from a panel of experts. This was true before Epstein scandals, and now I cannot imagine a decent university signing off on random one-off funding streams from rich people.

All gov funding goes through panels of experts.

Listening to random rich people or journalists or the public just isn't how those panels of experts work. Over-hyping work by eg tweeting at rich/famous people or getting a bunch of news articles published is in fact a good way to turn off exactly the people who decide which scientists get money.

Maybe a particularly clueless/hapless PR person at the relevant university (or at Nature) is creating a mess for the authors?
Lower your standards for everything. Work, cleanliness, relationships, hobbies.

Try to get to a point where you do housework while the kiddo is awake and entertaining themselves.

Some medium term planning helps. Cooking enough for 2-3 meals at a time so you don’t do it everyday. I used a meal plan that told me the groceries to get. Think of some other “life hacks” or corners you can cut for things you do a lot. Take some time for self care.
Yes, the problem is not dairy vs. non-dairy, it is with feeding kids who have been weaned a vegetarian or vegan diet in general. For instance, the following is a recent study (July 2020):

Vegetarian and Vegan Weaning of the Infant: How Common and How Evidence-Based? A Population-Based Survey and Narrative Review

Background: Vegetarian and vegan weaning have increasing popularity among parents and families. However, if not correctly managed, they may lead to wrong feeding regimens, causing severe nutritional deficiencies requiring specific nutritional support or even the need for hospitalization. Aim: To assess the prevalence of vegetarian and vegan weaning among Italian families and to provide an up-to-date narrative review of supporting evidence. Materials and methods: We investigated 360 Italian families using a 40-item questionnaire. The narrative review was conducted searching scientific databases for articles reporting on vegetarian and vegan weaning. Results: 8.6% of mothers follow an alternative feeding regimen and 9.2% of infants were weaned according to a vegetarian or vegan diet. The breastfeeding duration was longer in vegetarian/vegan infants (15.8 vs. 9.7 months; p < 0.0001). Almost half of parents (45.2%) claim that their pediatrician was unable to provide sufficient information and adequate indications regarding unconventional weaning and 77.4% of parents reported the pediatrician’s resistance towards alternative weaning methods. Nine studies were suitable for the review process. The vast majority of authors agree on the fact that vegetarian and vegan weaning may cause severe nutritional deficiencies, whose detrimental effects are particularly significant in the early stages of life. Discussion and conclusion: Our results show that alternative weaning methods are followed by a significant number of families; in half of the cases, the family pediatrician was not perceived as an appropriate guide in this delicate process. To date, consistent findings to support both the safety and feasibility of alternative weaning methods are still lacking. Since the risk of nutritional deficiencies in the early stages of life is high, pediatricians have a pivotal role in guiding parents and advising them on the most appropriate and complete diet regimen during childhood. Efforts should be made to enhance nutritional understanding among pediatricians as an unsupervised vegetarian or vegan diet can cause severe nutritional deficiencies with possible detrimental long-term effects.

The real problem is corporations trying the destroy the open web, again. We had AOL and CompuServe, now we have app stores. Consumers have been conditioned to install apps for basic things, just so they can slurp up their data.

Unfortunately this round of internet-killers are much better funded. The open web won in the past, but there is no guarantee it will win this time.
Exactly. And if you question the covid response you automatically get thrown into these groups. None of these are examples in the article either. It's almost like they didn't read it.
As a Maryland resident, I certainly feel we have "stupid rules about who is allowed to get an appointment" at a statewide level AND we've got a bunch of providers interpreting those stupid rules in inconsistent and arbitrary ways.

My doctor's office has apparently received some vaccines but are only vaccinating people in Group 1A because they feel that's the most important. But the governor claims we've moved into Group 1C, and if I can snag an appointment with a different provider, I might be in luck.
Why would AWS need to Wireshark your traffic? If law enforcement came to them with IP logs from some target machine, it's just a matter of looking at AWS outbound NAT logs to find your account.

Of course, either approach should work if the goal is merely to disassociate your traffic from your identity in order to keep marketing companies knowing your interests. Your approach is more provably reliable, but some VPN providers do provide 3rd party audits and such which seems a reasonable way to establish trust.
Critical outcomes are defined by quality objectives (I mentioned some above, others are reliability, robustness and portability).

People don't consider using my project. There's a client with a business problem, there's a vendor who solves problems for clients. The vendor produces an architecture document that describes how technology will achieve a solution †.

There is no noping the fuck out, as this is a hospital asking you for a one-off to manage/settle insurance payments. Or an electoral district asking you to merge three emergency response systems into one. Or Nokia asking you to tariff calls going through a switch in real time.

† This is nuanced. Often a client's procurement department invites a number of candidate vendors to submit proposals including a design proposal/architecture and associated cost estimates. Vendors range from the high end (McKinsey, Bain & Co, Ernst & Young) to the mid-tier (Wipro, Accenture and so on) to the niche.

I think there is a strong selection bias there as well, there's significant research showing how girls and boys are treated differently when getting into "dangerous" situations. It's been my experience as a father of 2 girls that they also love to climb on the outside of playground structures.

However what I see with a lot of the parents of other girls (compared to boys) is that they caution the girls a lot more and then they say my girls are so self-confident and "brave".

That is not to say that there is no difference between girls and boys, but you there are also huge variations between individuals as well, the way my two daughters are in their "wildness" is so different you would not guess they are siblings.

Is this often the outcome of divorce? I imagine that spending more time apart should reduce the total volume of conflict
The only people who can historically get away with that are high status men (less so women, since child bearing is intrinsically metabolically and temporally expensive). Globally/long run, it's not a great strategy, certainly not compatible with modern ideas of liberty.
So we need research and educational efforts into plant based nutrition instead of pumping all tax money into marketing and subsidies for the meat and dairy industry. Big surprise.

I’m raising two perfectly healthy vegan kids. They are above average on most factors that matter and continue to amaze people around us when we tell them they are vegan.

There is so much misinformation out there, and extrapolating from cases where parents fuck up isn’t helpful. All kinds of people fuck up, vegans or not, be it due to ignorance, incompetence or negligence.
FWIW last time I tried to cancel & still had credits, Audible did warn me I'd lose them if I cancelled (so I quickly used the credits before cancelling - thanks to their generous return policy, shouldn't be an issue if I change my mind about one of the books I chose hastily before cancelling)
For middle class folks, marriage isn't much different than a typical employment contract with a large firm. Marriage usually revolves around house and assets, so your 200k down payment is the 100k sign on bonus for your spouse. Paying out mortgage is the stock vesting plan. Kids are additional stock grants for good performance. Divorce is selling shares.
In most European countries, people don't elect the national government directly as well; it's formed taking into account parliament elections. It is true that in the EU the appointment of the commission is a bit more removed, with the national governments involved in the choice of the President and the commissioners, but in any case the European Parliament must still approve the commission.
>As a French who went to french public schools, I take exception to that, as it is totally false and offensive.

Last time I checked the french people couldn't care less about something being 'offensive' or not, since it's covered by freedom of speech, that's why they constantly harass minorities by mocking them, their religion and prophets, all in the name of freedom of speech. Forcing girls to remove their hijab is evidence that it's your narrative that is biased and false. Justifying that discrimination is just further evidence of the internalized islamophobia, which has grown to such a degree that you don't even register blatant discrimination as such.

>France's egalitarian principles

Yea those 'egalitarian principles' that somehow only protect the secular elite, while minorities, using their religion against them, are constantly mocked and bullied in the media and discriminated against in targeted unfair laws - banning the hijab. Those 'egalitarian principles' have to manifest themselves in reality, but they didn't, up till now, they have only proven to be a charade.
Right. If it went into the terahertz range, it would help open up that area. 5G cell phones go higher than 20GHz than that.
Yep, it starts really early in grade school with the relentless teasing boys receive for crying. You learn to bottle that shit up by 4th grade to make it as a “big kid”.
A tangential topic - I really think that in general calling plant-based things "meat", a terrible idea. It does not promote plant-base diet or meat consumption reduction. It is trying to be what is not.

I think it pushes away those who are on the cusp of moving towards plant-base foods. Why? Because the consumer is told it is "meat", so they will compare it to meat.
They will compare these patties to a real, prime Angus burger.

If we could be honest and declare them what they are, plant-based patties (come up with new name or whatever, plenty of plant-based names in non-English languages) I think it would improve the general image and consumption of these products.

Suddenly we would not be locked in the "meat" category. We can have all kinds of flavors for these products, instead of "meat" flavor, not having to "live up to" the meat taste, and mouth feel. We can live up to great flavors vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

From the title of the article, "Billionaire capitalists are designing humanity's future. Don't let them", I was expecting a piece covering the World Economic Forum, which could be characterized as the left-leaning counterpart to the likes of Bezos, Musk, and would-be ocean colonizers.

... the difference being that the WEF wants to force everyone into a particular mould, not unlike 20th century socialist visions for a "better society". We all know how that worked out...

But from an economic standpoint, I don't mind crazy, unrealistic visions for colonizing oceans and planets. At least such dreams give billionaires something to spend money on, which translates into more jobs and more families fed, not to mention the scientific and engineering advances that are funded along the way.
I really love paying with Monero as well. Fast, super cheap and anonymous. It's definitely my favorite coin to use (since I don't like speculation). I just wish it were more widespread as a payment option.
> No one gets married anticipating or wanting a divorce.

I think the existence of reasonable precautions such as prenuptial agreements indicates that this statement is false: many people enter into a marriage with the full knowledge that it may end before the death of one of the partners (presumably contrary to their desire at the time). I think that counts as "anticipating".

Heinlein put it well: "We always marry strangers."
100 percent agree. I'm almost entirely vegetarian but would occasionally allow myself a burger as a treat as it is one of my favorite meals when I have a real hankering. A Beyond or Impossible patty now completely satisfied that craving. They really have done a great job of it. Note I am not saying they are indistinguishable from real beef, but they are meaty enough in a way that scratches the itch which previous products never did.
I disagree only because a large e2e test suite can be very long. I often see 20-30 minute e2e suites for large applications. Applications which compile in a few minutes.

No. It was a 100% gender thing.

Notice that the comment never mentioned that men shouldn't divorce because they are past their 20s when they should be finding a wife.

Notice that the comment never mentions that high-quality women would never want to raise someone else's kid.

There is no way to separate dissent from disinformation a priori, other than by making assumptions about the other party's good faith. And so, you can paint anything you disagree with as disinformation if you think poorly enough of them, as you've demonstrated in this post. And it's very easy to think poorly about political opponents in particular.

The end result will be no dissent whatsoever, just two groups calling each other liars at every step.
Saw a (hopefully hyperbolic) stat somewhere that over 95% of exclusively MSNBC viewers voted Biden and exclusively Fox News viewers voted Trump.

The actual numbers matter less than the implications for reaching groups exclusively consuming particular “systematic feeds”.

This is from early 2019:

“There is an alternate reality in American politics, and it plays an outsized role in the way many experience and form opinions on the most important issues facing the country. Progressives should be mindful of the challenge from the Fox News echo-chamber and how it skews public perceptions. At the same time, there may be opportunities to reach people who aren’t in the chamber: Republicans who don’t watch Fox News, and non-Republicans who do.”

Sure it is. It’s right there on the label. Things are called what they are called not because they have properties which match a platonic ideal and those properties are inextricably linked with the phonetic and orthographic representations of a language. No, things are called what they are called because lots of people make those sounds or write those symbols and associate it with that thing, which people receive as information and then use themselves.

In other words, you’ve already lost this battle, and you’ve lost it in many languages and countries at once.
