Yeah, I think the design of the experiment is good to catch this potential weakness. If it was the knowledgeable experimenter instructing the children, that could really confuse things. I think it's still potentially a source of confusion, but less of one.

If you imagine that instead of sorting 4 figurines they had to sort 400, then it would be easy to see that the kids aren't going to test all of them. Too boring. They may not even go to the trouble of testing a sample of the figurines. The would need some incentive to drive them to do a bit more work than the bare minimum.

If I ask my son to clean his room, and I return to discover he's done a poor job, I will not think that he doesn't understand how to clean his room. Similarly, if these kids are asked to sort figurines and they just go by what they're told (or what they observed) without testing, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't understand that testing might be useful.
I love the core set of smiley face emoji, but skip most of the rest because they’re either too hard to find or too easy to misunderstand.

I’d be interested in a comparison between emoji & a character-based language like Chinese or a hieroglyphic language like ancient Egyptian… Any good articles out there on that topic? As an amateur observer of languages, it seems like the purpose & grammar of the emoji set isn’t well enough defined. Maybe some of the emoji are adjectives & should only appear once a verb or noun emoji is picked… Maybe “watermelon” should be a compound of “water” and “melon”…

Are there any notable emoji keyboard experiments out there? I wonder if anyone has tried organizing emoji like a Chinese keyboard (which I have seen & used, but may misunderstand since I don’t read Chinese).
I've noticed nearly everything I see on IG is a version of something that can be found elsewhere for less. Sometimes MUCH less. In some cases the IG ad is for a "prestige" brand, so you're paying for the name, but in many cases it's a brand with no recognition but advertising as "artisanal" or hand crafted. Look deeper, though, and discover these just big cheap brands rebadging their stuff.
The FDA hardly had a good reputation in the first place. The Vioxx fiasco was not too long ago.
Depends on the ad, tbh. Some ads just scream low-quality crap. No matter what, that impression will stick with me, even if I see the product in a retail store I trust.

However, I recently bought some Dr. Squatch soap, so ads can work.

> A reproducible build means anybody on any machine can build the same thing someone else has on theirs. That’s it.

No. A reproducible build is a guarantee that two builders of the same codebase, or the same codebase built multiple times, will result in a bit-for-bit identical of all other builds of the same codebase, every time, guaranteed.

*There are no Node.js-related build systems in mainstream use I am aware of that have any such guarantees. No, docker does not make any such guarantees. No, just because you pinned dependencies does not make that guarantee. No, just because you archived the codebase and vendored your dependencies does not make that guarantee.*

Please educate yourself before dying on a hill for a topic you're misrepresenting entirely.

Yes I've been in that situation (as a passenger, not a pilot!) Incredible how much power the aircraft has at full throttle. A lot of people freak out or panic in that situation, because it's so abrupt, but it's a sign that the pilot(s) are trying to go from a very dangerous/tricky situation to a much safer scenario.
For me, the situation was a horrific and violent summer thunderstorm in Dallas. But the pilots handled it and we landed safely the 2nd time.
It becomes easier and easier to meet the needs of the grid (because less energy is being taken out), so the turbines speed up. This increases the frequency of the electrical oscillations on the grid. If the deviation is small this is mostly noticeable in clocks running too fast, but as the deviation increases large spinning structures start spinning too fast and break, often violently.

I love the concept of a best practices checklist for archiving projects, but first read of the checklist items on this list make it seem more like they are targeting WHY the project is being archived, or WHETHER to archive it.

I don't think even Rust fans would argue that. Rust has roughly 2x the amount of reserved words, more operators, and so on. There's a larger basic set of things to learn before you could skim some code and read it.

The thing I never understood with investment funds doing that is that they should be able to make more money on their investment by renting it out while they’re holding it — the rent high enough to cover near any risk, as rent normally is priced for. It doesn’t make sense to do nothing, unless the act of renting has itself become to expensive to recoup on

When demand exceeds supply, the grid frequency goes below the 60Hz target. From what I've read, the frequency of the grid is closely monitored at all times, and a lot of effort goes into keeping it at or near the target.

I assume in this situation, the voltage also goes below the target, because people talk about "brown-outs" which I believe means that you get less than 120V from an outlet.

I can speculate that when supply exceeds demand, this creates a similar problem, but in the opposite direction.
Some people are just on a whole different level.

Part of this article touches on why I don't use emoji[1] - I don't know what they will look to the recipient most of the time. At least with emoticons/kaomoji, I have a decent idea. In most cases, it probably doesn't matter, but I can see it causing a miscommunication in some circumstances.

[1] Side question: what's the accepted plural of emoji in English? "Emojis" looks wrong to me, but I suspect that's because I speak a little Japanese.
It's not hypocrisy to say that different types of work should have different copyright lengths, and that for some types the answer is zero.

It may already be too late. The rate of subsidence in the growing regions of California is astonishing[1]--nearly a foot per year in some places. Some aquifers can take a long, long time to recharge (the rate differs per aquifer) and some aquifers can be damaged by compaction and never recharge[2].

It's pretty hard to make a case against VAERs when everyone that died WITH Covid was ruled a Covid death.

Applying the same fear mongering rules to the Vaccine is where we are now.

Take out 90ish% of the Covid deaths, and the pandemic isnt serious, nor are the vaccine reactions.

Keep the VAERs and the current Covid accounting and nobody under 18 should be vaccinated. 18-30 is unknown. 30+ should probably still be vaxxed.

Musk has gone beyond that and accused Vernon of being a pedophile and marrying child bride.

Maybe it was the heat of the moment. But then some days (or weeks) later he followed up with "I'd bet my signed dollar (that Vernon is a pedo)" (or something like that).

Musk intended to destroy Vernon with the pedophile accusation. There is no doubt of that. This is pre-meditated plan to destroy a person with the pedophile accusation.

For some reason, there's no outrage from tech companies though. People are still praising Musk as usual. I'm looking at you all the CEOs like Jack Dorsey and etc.

It's a bit tricky with high zoom levels because there might be a mountain 5 miles away that's casting shade on your block but at high zoom levels, features far away tend to be ignored for performance reasons.

I've been using the map for mountaineering and in my experience it's quite accurate +/-2 to 3 minutes.

> I’d be interested in a comparison between emoji & a character-based language like Chinese or a hieroglyphic language like ancient Egyptian…

I don’t know of any articles, but from what I know of the subject there is no comparison. Chinese and Egyptian writing systems both have the capability to represent any word or sentence in their respective languages. They do this using a combination of pictograms, ideograms and phonetic symbols. (Though the exact structure differs between writing systems: Chinese tends to combine these components into one character, while Egyptian tends to keep them more separate.) By contrast, emojis can only represent a very limited number of words, and are always pictograms or ideograms.

Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from turning emoji into a complete writing system, and inventing a language and grammar around it. But emojis as they are used today do not constitute a complete writing system.
Mustangs behave pretty much the same as other horses when confronted with something scary. They're not really any different to work with than any other unhandled horse. Mustangs are not wild horses, btw. They're feral horses descended largely from the horses of the Conquistadors.
It's a bit unintuitive at first, but the voltage would stay the same, however the frequency would increase.

For home users this isn't such an issue today (everything in my home with a motor, has a three phase motor, so there is an inverter inside to convert that from 2 phase AC -> DC -> 3 phase AC, so the frequency doesn't matter), but for industry it is as a lot of equipment needs 60/50Hz and will be damaged with something outside it's operating range.

At multiple places in the power grid there are systems that will disconnect if the grid frequency falls or rises outside it's operating range. This is what caused the cascading failures and power outage over most of the country in the UK in 2019:

Intelligence distribution may not be symmetrical. I don't think it is, in fact I'm not sure what that would even mean. High intelligence means doing some things faster and low intelligence means not being able to do some things at all. The only way to symmetry or otherwise is via a quantification which converts these things to a scalar measure, and then distribution becomes a tweakable property of the quantification when tested against a population.

And that's why IQ (not intelligence, they are not synonyms) is normally distributed. It is a tuned quantification, designed to be normally distributed. If it doesn't turn out that way, there is some divergence between the population it was tuned for and the sample you're measuring.

I almost never check Facebook and when I do, I only login in a private tab, but even from this sandbox, Facebook somehow has the best ads for me by far.

I actually get very little value from the normal content, but I’d probably even sign up for a newsletter of their ads for me.

Edit: They always seem to have very cool Kickstarters for me, for example, so then later I’ll try to go right to the source, but I’ve never found something good myself on Kickstarter.
I’ve heard that mesothelioma class action lawyer advertisements are among the most expensive on social media.

This is absolutely false when any reasonable analysis of excess deaths shows that COVID deaths were vastly undercounted across the world.

And the issue with VAERS being misused to create doubts about vaccines by anti-vaxxers has existed long before COVID was something anyone had ever heard about, so your claim that COVID death counting procedures have something to do with the VARRS misuse is also easily proven false, unless the anti vaxxers time traveled.

My reading of that article is that Greg Kurtzer says that Red Hat did the right thing for Red Hat, not for the community - it has had a negative effect on users.

>_"The end of life of CentOS as we know it had a negative effect on my company and my company's customers as well as pretty much everybody in the industry,"_ Kurtzer told The Register. "I felt it was important to take the lessons learned from CentOS and bring that into a new project... and I enjoy operating systems."

My company immediately transitioned to SLES immediately after the announcement that CentOS was dead. We do medical devices, and CentOS Stream was NOT going to work for us.
I guess the utility of a novel thing to a herd, prey, plains animal is mostly likely about zero. The danger of the thing is higher.
I think this is one of those things that sounds clever and sort of seems like it must make sense, but on closer inspection doesn't hold together at all. As you yourself pointed out on this thread, the history of story writers incorporating the stories of real people into their work goes back centuries. Nor can a work of fiction "concoct a lie", at least beyond the sense that all fiction is a lie.

I think this is one of those threads where we're all trying to reason axiomatically about what fiction is, and it's taking us to some very weird nerd-alternate-reality places. We can just approach the problem empirically; in the 20th century alone, there are dozens of fiction writers who are famous for doing what the author of Cat Person did.

So much for my guess! BTW I am well aware that mustangs are not wild horses, which is precisely why I made the distinction in my original comment. When you say "any other unhandled horses", are you including truly wild horses?
I once worked for Alstom/GE grid and many regions already have market driven power tied into large energy consumers/producers where they can bid and schedule energy based on the market. So if you have a rock crusher or a freezer (insulation gives flexibility) you might adjust when you power it on based on energy prices.

Nonsense, it's a very valid approach to design your data before your code. Especially since your database tends to far outlive any code you write against it.
A lot of fibre is GPON (a type of PON, passive optical network), a scheme where each customer receives data from multiple other customers as well as their own data, so it would be very insecure for them to allow customers to use their own ONT. If you can get AON (active optical networking), then likely they will allow BYO ONT. Note that AON requires more hardware that is more expensive on the ISP side.
If you had a construction RFP that banned subcontractors I don’t think you’d ever get any bids.

Why not? This is NOT my area, and I'm most likely VERY wrong. But we get input from our eyes, it goes through all the layers of the brain and comes out as a word in speech.

Could that not be how our mind evolved before getting this 'consciousness layer' on top of it?

Maybe building on this adding more and more abstract layers, training them to return useful info, could nudge things in the right way?
It's getting downvoted because it's blatantly racist. How else do you interpret this but racism:

Just for reference, I put 5kW of panels on my roof in 2003. The unsubsidized cost was $40,000. After subsidies it came in at around $20K. So your 4X the power at 1/2 the cost is a lot cheaper.
Thats much more than just a UX flaw, it's clearly showing that copilot just regurgitates code snippets from other peoples opensource.
