Thank you for calling this out. It's critically important that people understand the difference between model, code, and paper and what they mean.

It's also important that people understand that even if code is provided, it's commercially useless. From the NVAE license as an example[1]

non-commercially.

It's a great example of the difference between open source (which it is) and free software which it is not. So we're back to square one where it is probably best to clean-room the implementation from the paper, which is nearly useless to reproduce the model.

While I strongly disagree with Thomas's decision, I disagree on the basis of several of the issues that he himself points out as unaddressed by the majority. Specifically, the widespread compulsory nature of schooling today vs in the 19th century, which Alito's concurring opinion outlines, as well as the limited-scope of snapchat "stories"; it is not the student's fault that speech intended to be transitory and limited in distribution was screenshotted and amplified. This case was much more like speech at a casual in-person meet-up outside of school than Thomas wants to admit. Furthermore, the nature of public schools (and even most private schools) today is far less serious than schools of the 19th century or before. Even if it weren't for the issue of compulsory schooling, schools have abdicated most of their traditional responsibility for moral instruction of students, and the SCOTUS is an inappropriate authority to try to undo that.

If you read the last paragraph of Thomas's dissent, it's clear he's more troubled with the laziness of the majority opinion than he is by the specific result. It reads like he wanted to really dig into the issues Alito raised in a concurring opinion, but didn't feel like he should because only Alito and Gorsuch concurred with that one, and debating those issues at length would be like bikeshedding. Maybe they were on the cusp of getting him to sign on, but they ran out of time and there were unresolved differences that led him to write the dissent.

Thomas's dissent should get everyone to think carefully about the scope of rights to discipline children in loco parentis in various circumstances. If you send your children to a friend's house, or with their friends' parents on some trip or to some event, you're granting those parents virtually unlimited ordinary disciplinary authority (subject to criminal and family law limitations). Voluntarily sending your kids to school could be seen (and, as Thomas points out, was historically seen) to create much the same dynamic.
TERF both manages to connote something that should be stepped upon and is used to box in a person's opinions to a caricature so that a label can be applied (a stereotype, in other words), rather than listening to what they say. I'd say that between that, karen, anti-vaxxer, and anti-masker, a number of niche slurs have been popularized recently.
> Why such a sudden change?

Trump is gone. Since he was the main proponent of the idea, and he was despised by half of the nation, they had to despise the idea too, even if it was quite fitting in the context of the anti-China rhetoric of the last few years. Now Trump is gone and the other half of the US is free to pick up his ideas.
From the standpoint of union members, isn't more good than bad though? In this amazon warehouse example, in the long run, people that work in these amazon warehouses will have the opportunity to have a stable career where they chase the american dream and raise a family with relative security. The alternative without unions in this day and age with plentiful resources is just not humane to those workers.
By expunging, shaming, expelling, disinviting, cancelling, eschewing, not offering positions, denying grants, avoiding publication, demoting those that don't meet the requirements of a radical orthodoxy.

Noam Chomsky of all people (!), and a bunch of other staunchly centre-left luminaries had to take out a full page ad in Harper's to make the point. [2]

How far would an ugly trend have to exhibit itself in order for these fairly respectable and otherwise mild mannered people to not only 1) notice but 2) act and then 3) make a big show out of it in a worldwide signal?

They tried to cancel Stephen Pinker [2] for postulating that the problem of Law Enforcement in the USA is a generally overbearing justice system, not necessarily specific to one race, although conceding that's a problem. For that utterly reasonable statement, they tried to remove his Chair and participation a bunch of groups. He was fine, but 'they came for him' and were he to have been less prominent, 'they' would have won.

It's intellectual cowardice and social bullying by angry people. My belief is that it's not even ideological at the end of the day, rather, it's the petty expression of power by those who've never had it before and who were transgressed themselves at some earlier point in their lives.

You could easily implement universal healthcare on a state-by-state basis. This is just another excuse for federalization by power-grabbers.
But "gender" is a made-up concept with no clear (non-self-referential) definition, seemingly made up specifically to cause confusion and conflict.

It's as if there were two concepts, "race" and "grace", and you could be "biologically" white but "identify" as black, or "height" and "gheight", and you could be "factually" 180cm tall but "identify" as 165cm.

You can trace transactions in and out to addresses, but with enough inputs and outputs, connecting the same actor becomes a very hard problem.
I don't think it's an issue of people being interested in how they label themselves so much as society being interested in labels for people. If you come out as gay, suddenly there are a load of assumptions placed on you about how you speak, dress, act, what your hobbies are, etc. People adopt identities in these cases because society has preconceived notions of the identity, not because the individual themselves has decided that they want to make a big deal out of their identity.
The problem is that you are saying "TERF" is a slur by using a wide definition but then using the narrow definition to claim it's a travisty to be called a "TERF". The point is that "TERF" is not on the same level as the n-word, f-word or the t-word which you are likening it to when you insist it's a slur. It's simply not harmful to call someone a "TERF" like it is to use slurs against the groups that TERFs are marginalizing.
In terms of bold NFT claims, you can claim to be Emperor of the Milky Way for $15 million.

I'd love for that to happen, too. Why stop there -- why not also make it so everyone who wants one gets a place to live? Maybe do something like how Singapore manages housing? I'd love to have that as well.

But, we don't have either of these things right now, and the act of implementing them as a way to solve the immediate problem at hand -- compensating landlords for a service they were forced to provide as a means of staving off mass evictions once the moratorium expires -- is off the table, given the constraints of the pandemic relief funding that California was granted.
You mean the sham of Anita Hill? You'd think people like you would be thoroughly embarrassed to continually push these tropes - then again embarrassment requires self awareness and humility.

If you actually read his dissent, instead of a hack summary, you would see he thinks they didn't go far enough in constraining the schools. Quite the opposite of what is implied by CNN. But hey, as long as someone holds a dissenting political opinion they aren't human and therefor fair game, right?

People who have had trauma have my empathy, but I really don't think there's a tenable path forward besides dispassionate debate. How do we work through a conflict without dispassionate debate? If trans people insist that the only parties to the debate are trans people or those who already agree with them (ignoring that trans people aren't the homogeneous entity that activists make them out to be), then how are they going to gain acceptance in society more broadly? By fiat?

Yeah, it sucks that individuals in the majority don't have the same emotional skin in the game as in the minority, but progress of any kind requires that we can talk through stuff. For those of us with trauma (i.e., my trauma isn't "trans trauma"), we should excuse ourselves when the debates hit too close to home too often. We explicitly cannot use our trauma to discredit others (e.g., to conflate their criticism with 'hate') is not going to garner sympathy even if a lot of people who are already "allies" upvote our post on social media or wherever.

And indeed, if it's not in the best interest of the legitimately traumatized to use their trauma to silence others, who in their right mind would allow their "allies" to use their trauma to bludgeon others? What rational person would let someone else spend their credibility in contradiction with their own best interests? If the traumatized person overreaches, it might be overlooked on account of the trauma, but what excuses can we make for the mere "allies"?
Civilization was a mistake.
Mostly because it is a rejection of first principles thinking, which is a key tool in the toolbelt of critical thinking, supposedly part of any university's mandate.

> I am just pointing out that in New Zealand the main correlation for average student ability is their home, not their school.

Right. Whatever the casual mechanism is at play, increasing funding of schools is not going to make much of a difference for the kids -- it will, though, for employees of the school systems.
I would rephrase it as:
"Culture often encodes biological needs that we are not sure we did understand because nothing like that was written down and today we have a very good idea of our biological needs and can probably design more consistent or at least more utilitarian rules of culture"

Do you think you could agree with that?

"There is a larger question here." Which is the point of Thomas's dissent. He does an excellent job outlining just how poor a job the court did with this decision. It starts on page 34: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20-255_g3bi.pdf
As a doctor I would agree. 5% of doctors are up to date and provide high quality care. 95% are not up to date and provide low quality care. Most older doctors are grandfathered in to their specialty and do not have to take their boards but once in their life when they get out of training. So some have not taken their boards in over 30 years. Doctors in the generation after the baby boomers are not grandfathered in and have to take their boards at least every 10 years if not more often now in some specialties. So If I were you look for a doctor who graduated in 1991 or later as that is the year they stopped grandfathering. I graduated medical school in 1991. I have taken my specialty boards three times already (1997/2008/2018). Now they are moving to yearly mini-updates to stay up to date as things change too much in 10 years. None of the older doctors have to do any of this additional education and testing. They are still programming in FORTRAN.
Oh, wow! This brings back a wave of nostalgia. This is great! If only you could get some haptic feedback happening, it would be the icing on the cake.

Nim is first and foremost a procedural language like Go, if you use it as a better Go you'll have a great time, if you try to make Nim more OOP you can use libraries like:

Besides that Nim uses UFCS, you can mimic 90% of your OOP needs without using pragmas or methods or anything like that.
Cis women rape other cis women too, and not all trans women can impregnate people.
I’m writing a gameserver in it using Elixir without Phoenix. I’m using cowboy (erlang webserver) for websockets and redis for persistence.

You can pretty easily opt-in on specific phoenix libraries one by one and pick any you like and omit those you don’t.

The “phoenix app” type stuff is just a convention over configuration thing, but unlike something like Rails, it’s perfectly doable to pick and choose the libraries you want and install these later when you need them, or remove them when you don’t.

The functional approach to Phoenix makes it really easy to substitute things without breaking other things.

I think it's more that the problem can seem deceptively simple because you're using the default system everyone's assumptions are based on and you don't need to understand the history behind it to have the basic banking experience. The average cryptocurrency booster hasn't studied the current system or its history[1] so it's easy to focus on the happy path and say you're making things easier until you hit a reminder of just how hard it is to stymie abusers when the rewards are high.

Something to note in this case is that

They declined to endorse a lower court decision that found that the First Amendment guarantee of free speech prohibited punishing students for what they say off campus. “The school’s regulatory interests remain significant in some off-campus circumstances,” Breyer wrote in the ruling.

So the Supreme Court actually weakened the lower court decision. Although Thomas dissented, I'm not sure anyone on the Supreme Court was that far apart on this decision.

That's a strawman.

Without proof to the contrary the assumption should be that the trans population has a similar proportion of rapists as any other does.

Since its been well established that essentially all rape no matter who is raping who goes under reported it is completely rational for women to be just as fearful as they would with any other stranger.

Funnily enough, I spoke earlier this week with an academic whose concern about recent developments was that legal/policy papers he was writing for government departments were much more likely to be unpublished or partially redacted than in previous decades, for reasons which had nothing to do with culture warring.

Easy to see why governments would prefer the public believe the real threat to university research was a handful of students picketing the intentionally provocative...
I would disagree. I think that there is a strong pro free speech group, most of who are also literally woke, but who also want to keep the overton window broad.

There are, of course, some pretty reptitive comment threads, but you can collapse those and generally find more interesting discussion somewhere (don't forget there are often multiple pages of comments.)

That you see any of that in this sub-thread is an example of how both "sides" of this issue (Jesus, why are there sides? And this article is entirely part of the problem) are talking/writing straight past one another (not to blame you for that being the case—you see those things in this sub-thread, meanwhile I didn't intend them in my posts and don't see them at all in mine or others').
Unsurprising. CNN decided long ago that Thomas is "the other" and they'll never be charitable when it comes to people on that side of the political aisle.

Unfortunately, I must call you out too, my friend. With love.

Because it’s crucially important that we protect the scientific method here.

The sole goal is to help people like me reproduce the model. If I can’t reproduce the model, I can’t verify the paper.

When I saw “commercial” and then “open source” in your comment, I said “oh no…”

My duty is to the scientific method, so I don’t care if it’s the most restrictive code on the planet as long as I can use it to reproduce the model in the paper.

Because at that point, I have a baseline for evaluating the paper’s claims.

The reason I assume the paper is false until proven otherwise, is because the paper often doesn’t have enough detail to reproduce the model shown in the videos on this tech demos. Meaning, if they’re the it to help me, the ML researcher, then they’re failing to tell me how to evaluate their claims rigorously.

(That said, it’s breaking my heart that I can’t agree with you here, because I want to so badly. I’ve felt similarly for years that scientific contributions need to be “free as in beer” commercially. But I recognize signs of zealotry when I see them, and I can’t let my personal views creep in, because people like me would stop listening if I was here e.g. arguing vehemently that nVidia needed to be delivering us something commercially viable along with a high quality codebase. The price for entry to the scientific method isn’t so high.)

Certain gender roles are social constructs, but gender as a whole cannot be a social construct because gender dysphoria exists. A transgender person’s gender identity is hardwired (and opposite of their genetic sex and outward sex characteristics), which is strong evidence that gender is an innate physiological characteristic. It’s likely something neurological, since trans people’s obvious physiological characteristics (e.g. hormone levels and anatomy) are consistent with their genetic sex.

(This is why trans-exclusionary feminists exist, because the existence of trans people nullifies their belief that gender is 100% a social construct.)
