How are you handling managing the licensing for the different translations? I see you have some licensed ones like NIV and ESV so you are not just using public domain texts.

I see there are Hebrew and Greek texts - these are source texts for study and not modern translations, right?

It seems like it would be so cool if there where more modern translation efforts with the source texts and translations managed like open sourced licensing.

Something like what I understand the WEB project did on a small scale, but a bit more ambitious with the source materials included - suitably licensed somehow.
I think there's a tremendous value in having insurance/redundancy for supporting existing critical SW projects/infrastructure.

So while day to day there might not be immediate obvious work, much like a fire fighter or life guard; if the servers go down or coworkers leave there needs to be some ballast that can steer the ship.

That said, if you don't actually know much of the companies code base other than stuff you've directly written, you could very much be providing only perceived insurance versus actual insurance.
I'm haunted by Roko's Basilisk.

The story in it's original incarnation may be a bit outlandish. However, dial it in a few notches and you get a powerful AI that can associate you with anything you have ever left a data trail for, in the hands of an unknown future bad actor. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if that was the thrust for the initial conception of it.

Given that, the Basilisk may already be in it's infant stage.
Yup I definitely agree with you and hey thanks for replying
I had no idea!!! That's amazing.
Isn't it just rational not to get excited about boring stuff that is rewarded by a fix monetary ceiling? Economically it completely makes sense: why put more energy into something that yields the same result either way? Or maybe I have ADHD too.
Blackmail as a crime requires the blackmailer trying to get money or something of value out of their victim to prevent them from exposing some sensitive information. Would be interesting if someone could argue the outcome of cancelling someone fell within that definition.
Oh wow, me too.
I think it's different on the internet though. Like, if we state an opinion in person, there's a few key differences:

- People are likely to respond in a much more civil manner, they're not just going to yell at you

- A lot of complex intonation and nuance gets across a lot easier

- Any misunderstandings can be quickly corrected

On the other hand with the internet, you lose all those things, so IMO it's more up to the receiver to give the speaker the benefit of the doubt, unless it's clear the speaker's intent is to insult.
Non-paying tenants is just a short-term problem and you can put a dollar amount on it. It's not the worst thing that can happen to a property. People with deeper pockets than you and able to wait it out would still buy with the right discount for the inconvenience and uncertainty. Or even for the mere right to be your buyer - there's extreme housing supply shortage in certain markets if you haven't been following the news. With some comical extremities like people pledging to name their firstborn after the seller etc
I don't think the goal with public education should be allowing wildly conflicting propaganda.
Thanks for the advice. You make a very valid point. The first version of Lowdefy had a UI, then every time we wanted to make a schema improvement we also had the tech debt of adapting the UI. As a result the schema became secondary and more and more become unreadable.

So then we really asked how lean can we make this platform to keep it agile while experimenting with the mechanics of the schema. After more than a year of that the experimentation paid off and we now have a very flexible, yet understandable schema for building apps.

But yes. Adding a visual editor on top is one of our goals - and we are getting closer and closer to making it happen.
And the author has the audacity to complain about a site that has a light scrollbar in dark mode: 'I absolutely detest sites that "have a dark mode, BUT DON'T MAKE THE SCROLLBAR DARK!",...'

Society works on fairness as well as stability. This kind of thing also makes the people on the margin resentful and angry. See also the discussion of student debt repayment. Alice and Bob are identical and almost able to do X. Alice sacrifices Y to get X. Bob keeps Y is later given X for free. Bob comes out ahead. Why shouldn't Alice feel resentment?
If a group:

- is becoming less religious

- most in that group are becoming alone/depressed/etc.

- It's expensive and burdensome for that group to have offsprings

Then that group is essentially a dead-end and those practices will not expand to more groups. Them being rich isn't helping them.

How is that not a form of natural selection?
Because Wintel has always displayed bad sportsmanship and anti competitive practices. I don't want a winner who wins because they cheat.

Also, AMD almost lost everything. At one point they had to sell their own HQ and lease it back to generate cashflow and keep the doors open.

If they had closed, Intel research budgets would tank. They wouldn't have nearly as much incentive to innovate. Without Dodge motor company you would still be driving a Ford Model T in black.

If AMD died instead of making the original Athlon, you would still be stuck with a Pentium MMX because Intel could have stopped innovating and kept their market share.
As someone with a physics degree, physicists really have a unique ability to stroke their own egos. I think I agree with the premise - structure is certainly the most important thing in our physics and machine learning. However, a significant portion of the effectiveness behind ML is letting the computer find the structure for itself rather than doing it yourself. The most effective uses guide the learning via minimal structure.
You're right, hyper-v must be turned on via 'Turn windows features on or off' as well.
Hard seconding Fussell's Class. Some of the specifics around signaling have changed in the past few decades since it was written (a lot being more the whims of fashion trends than anything else), but if anything the societal bands outlined have more clearly striated since then.

> You aren't accounting for purchasing power. In most countries, medicine costs half as much (or less), education is much cheaper, and the cost of food and housing is much lower.

Milanovic's figures do account for overall purchasing power. It would be pretty amateurish of an economist not to.

The distribution of the price level among verticals is a separate question though, and it's possible that it's suboptimally skewed in the US
Bias doesn't exist without intent. Even implicit bias implies intent.
How? Please enlighten me. I know that there are people who rather like DFW's navel-gazing and projection, but there's nothing of substance in it otherwise. At all.
I have an admin back-end that allows for reviewing, editing metadata, and then approving resources. Once approved new videos get pulled into the app via an API without requiring an app update.
>The US is well below many European countries (and others) by median wealth

The US ranks 6 in median household income and median per capital income. The ones above us are much smaller nations, and it's easier to for them be statistical outliers compared to a large nation like the US. California, which has a larger population than any nation that scores better than the US in median income, blows any of them outside the water no matter what wealth metric you use.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that all the people doing the canceling are right and all the people being canceled are wrong.

Cancel culture will make racism and sexism worse. Even the most well-intentioned will fail to learn when they are afraid of expressing the wrong answer.

Try to teach someone mathematics where every time they get the wrong answer, they get shocked. Not a good learning environment.

And that's exactly what we have now. Repeat a few buzzwords and you are safe. But when problems manifest in a new way, you won't be able to understand or correct them because you don't really understand.

Being wrong is part of the path to being right. If you are cancelled for being wrong, you'll never be right. You'll just have to be quiet.

You'd be amazed how little extra effort goes into pharmaceutical studies for antidepressants. They're mostly n<1k people, under 6months long, with no mechanism firmly established...
Thanks for this. I agree that potential outcomes is very useful, at least on a pedagogical level. I have been reading Imbens and Rubin's book and loving it.
While QFT makes some amazingly precise predictions in certain areas like the fine structure constant, it is nearly useless for predicting even most chemistry.

In practice, the computations required to use the QFT model are just too complex for modern computers when it comes to single atoms with more than a few protons, not to mention larger molecules. Instead, we must use simplified models like the Bohr model to make predictions about molecular bonds.

This actually seems to be very similar to AI where we understand not everything, but a lot about basic neurons, yet the emergent phenomena of intelligence is very difficult to predict due to the explosion of computational complexity.
You seem to be conflating "propaganda" with "opinion". And also conflating "propaganda techniques" with "communication".

There is obviously some overlap. Propaganda is inherently opinionated and basic communication techniques used to convey any story of course also work with propaganda.
That worked as long as both sides ran by the gentlemans agreement that you debate and let the best argument win.

As with many things, that worked until people forgot why the argument (or indeed why it is called a gentleman) was created in the first place and so tore it up for political points.

"NIST publishes recommendations on which ones to use, but people prefer to use other curves (like secp256k1) that are less likely to have backdoors built into them"

Does this make any sense? How is a curve going to have backdoors on it? Or he means a specific implementation? Or is this a joke? I'm confused
With time I cringe a bit when he takes this voice, still love his work.
You mean like how we’ve systematically failed to teach children about the racism, slavery, and hatred that has been ubiquitous in American history?

Or how about teaching American exceptionalism? Or that capitalism is better than socialism? Or that being religious is better than being non-religious? Or that being unquestionably patriotic is better than questioning your country’s actions?

There’s tons and tons of indoctrination in public schools, but it’s mostly to maintain existing power structures and the status quo.
it's not about not getting excited. It's the result of being "not excited". Neurotypicals can work on things that are uninteresting to them. ADHD people can sit there yelling at themselves to "do the thing" that they _know_ they need to do and still be completely incapable of starting regardless of how "easy" it is to actually do it once something forces them to actually start.

this video does a good job of explaining the motivation problem when you have ADHD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM0Xv0eVGtY
Theocracy may be bad, but an aggressively religious society is worse.

Religious here means that certain things are articles of faith, and any attempt to discuss them in any way, let alone disagree with them, gets you marked as an enemy who needs to be driven away and stripped of any respect or role in society.

I won't even say it's the majority that's so aggressive. But the majority of people who are somehow active in the society and thus visible outside the circle of their family and coworkers, either actively or passively agree. Either they share the faith (many do), or they don't want trouble.

What good is the First Amendment if citizens themselves see free speech as a dangerous transgression?
Maybe it's wrong, but highly-regarded authors writing really mean reviews of work they consider embarrassingly (for the author of the work under review, had they any shame and the good sense not to subject the public to this, which clearly they do not, is the usual implication or outright statement of the review) terrible or highly over-rated is practically a literary genre of its own. This hardly stands alone, and is a continuation of a time-honored (if, again, maybe wrong, or bad, or what have you) tradition.

... in fact, much of the tone of writing on the early and mid-period Web was pretty similar, including some that was among the most well-known, and strong backlash against that in favor of gentler writing has only come in the last decade or so. Simply common and normal, hardly meriting comment, then. Perhaps humanity has recently experienced a great moral leap forward.
Everytime, anyone on the internet compares the BEAM/OTP to K8s, i need you to pop out of the bushes and say this. Thank you :)
IANAL, but habitually screaming at and insulting employees sounds like textbook harassment/bullying. I suppose this sort of criminality is less likely to be reported in more precarious employment situations.

As a data point, I have worked a lot of (so-called) blue collar jobs over the years, from stacking shelves to washing pots to serving drinks to digging ditches, and I never had a problem with a bully or a disrespectful boss. I have now been working as a software engineer for 10 years and one of my more recent bosses refused to call me by my name for several months and instead referred to me as "dickhead" or "you Irish bastard" and was known to jab his finger in people's faces and yell "fuck you" when he lost his temper. Assholes are assholes, no matter what your job title.

(but I certainly agree that lower-paid jobs are a lot tougher; even if the wages were the same, I wouldn't go back to any of the jobs I did before software)

The most dangerous censorship is the one that is happening to you.

We used to have a policy literally called "Don't Tell" in the US. People who "told" (or were outed) were fired... assuming they weren't killed for it, by somebody who would claim that they "panicked" (a defense still legal in 38 states[1]). That wasn't the most dangerous censorship.

Women are commonly told that if they wear the wrong thing, then they deserve to be raped. Clothes are a form of self-expression -- but shutting that up isn't the most dangerous censorship.

A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist was denied tenure because one donor didn't like what she said. But that's not the most dangerous censorship.

We all watched a videotaped murder last year, and when the police were sent in to beat up peaceful protesters -- including journalists -- that wasn't the most dangerous censorship.

A lot of censorship goes on, and has gone on. As far as I can tell, this one rises to the level of "most dangerous censorship" because he thinks it's the one that's happening to him. I hear not a peep about any of the others.

Physics is not simple. e=mc^2 might look nice on a t-shirt but it is a cherry picked formula. Newtonian mechanics you learn in high school might seem simple to someone with a MINT degree but they describe a small part of the world, and complicated things like friction are discarded.

General relativity, quantum chromodynamics, etc. They are all incredibly complicated.

And Milanovic does so in his figures. It's "unserious" (and bizarre) to assume that an economist failed to make this adjustment, and then claim that it's super easy to do so; the latter statement should mean that your baseline assumption is that PPP adjustment was performed.

A better solution would've been to average out how much rent is per month. For people who owed their landlords, that money just gets given to the landlords as an amount to bail them out. For example, $1250/month. Landlords would legally be required to accept that as payment for any debt owed by their tenants.

Everyone else who was able to continue paying rent gets $1250 * {however many months the government is covering}. Landlords included.
It's a risk any catchy headline takes. Seems like the same property that entices people to click also entices people to engage the headline itself.
> I agree that if the government halts evictions, then the government should foot the bill, however it is known that the government does have the ability to force private entities to provide critical services (for example, emergency room services) at the cost of the provider.

Is there? Your one example js weaker than you seem to think. For emergency room services, the law requires that for Medicare-participating hospitals. That's practically equivalent to a general requirement, but its legally distinct, and landlords don’t have a practical necessity to sell their services to the government as well as other customers.
You mean, like, science and empathy?

> As you mention, most SSRI ads specifically note that it is thought to work by inhibiting serotonin reuptake...maybe. There isn't even strong proof that serotonin plays the part popularly believed.

The "chemical imbalance" theory hasn't been taken seriously for decades. It's a myth that psychiatrists think that SSRIs are compensating for low serotonin. We've known for a long time that the actual anti-depressant effects come from somewhere downstream that isn't fully understood yet. This isn't really a new discovery. We've known from the start that SSRIs inhibit serotonin reuptake within hours of taking the first dose, but the full antidepressant effect can lag by weeks.

That doesn't mean that serotonin isn't involved in the therapeutic action of SSRIs, though. Occupying around 80% of the serotonin transporters is necessary to bring about the antidepressant effects of different SSRIs. So we do know that inhibiting serotonin reuptake is almost certainly the mechanism that kicks off the chain of events that ultimately produces the antidepressant effect, but we also know that the antidepressant effect doesn't come directly from this inhibition.

This is a good article that explains debunks the myth that psychiatry believes the "chemical imbalance" or "low serotonin" theories: https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/debunking-two-chemical...
its nice to work hard and have a result that speaks for itself (imagine if you were on the team that pulled off the iphone) but i think the flip side of that is, most of us arent making an iphone, and often the fruits of that "hard work" disporportionally benefits those with the leverage and power

in other words, yes hard work is "paying off" but often its the person above or at the top (owner) that really reaps it, so then some people become jaded and start to reject that ethic

i think we also concentrate too much on the individual and not enough on the organizational/structural issues that prevent teams (and indviduals) from functioning well and moving upwards... those are harder to deal with and concentrating on ones own small chunk if the world is easier to grasp, but conversely the effect individuals can have from "just working hard" is extremely small in alot of cases

i guess its a combination... we should work hard but we should also make sure people actually benefit from that proportionally (fairly)... if not, something structurally is wrong...
It's not unique to Persian cooking, but there is wisdom in most cultural foods. I have been cooking a lot during the pandemic and every month I discover a new fermented food that has "recently" been found to be a superfood - kombucha, kefir, kimchi, soy sauce, mole sauce, sourdough etc. That is not to talk about other ingredients like turmeric, chiles, lentils and other stuff that add nutritional value.

EDIT: I wanted to add something I just remembered from the Netflix docuseries "Cooked" - "If you were to eat grains and nothing but grains, you will die sooner rather than later from lack of one nutrient or another. But if you were to eat real fermented bread made from the same grains, you will live much longer". Something about fermentation is truly nourishing.
Looks like we have perfect nicknames for commenting under this post.

> You don't like the other side. That's what I now know.

And that's very useful for establishing which sources we should rely upon in a shared discussion.

My sister's husband was quoting Breitbart news to me. I let him know that I believed that was a propaganda channel. In many discussions, its very important to establish who is, or isn't, a trusted source of information.

There are others who quote Elon Musk's tweets to me. Many of those tweets have no basis in reality IMO, so I let them know that I don't trust them, and I ask them for another source of information.
