Normal means that there is a bell-curve distribution of how insecure individuals would be; you'll see both more and less self-confident individuals. However, if you barrage the populace with photoshopped, top 1% in beauty, frankly unhealthy bodies, that distribution is going to move to the "right" towards more insecurity. I'd wager anyone susceptible to insecurity would experience a much greater level, than in a poor farming town where young people see almost no sexualized supermodels or celebrities to compare themselves to.

For example, take some 13 year old girl, probably a poor farmer, from Ireland in 1800. She will have seen almost no examples of the female body except her own, her peers rarely, and her familial elders. Then plop her down into today's world, and she'll definitely be barraged by all the most ridiculous images of flat stomachs, huge anatomical parts and tiny anatomical parts, immaculately photoshopped forms: she'll be made to feel less than them.

Exactly! Thanks for proving the point. It was a collective effort of people/companies pushing a good programming language rather than a single company (Oracle) doing it. Not to mention that they license it in certain cases.
I wrote another comment where I explained "popular due to jvm" better - the productivity gain was real, but came from the GC which was....JVM. No, the JVM wasn't hated initially - not until it became hugely popular and people started pushing it to the limit. Or well, at least that's how I remember the history, I might be wrong; human brains are notoriously fallible and I'm too lazy to search and validate/confirm my version of it :)
That's precisely what the researchers are saying. In the underlying paper, they conclude that "this capability is extremely difficult to isolate or mitigate", call for "further investigation and research into the human-hidden but model-decipherable information", and suggest medical imaging people should "consider the use of deep learning models with extreme caution" until future research produces a better understanding of what's happening.
If 'exposure to the common cold at some point in the past' led to improved immune response to Covid then this would be evidence to support your point.

What this article is saying is that exposure to the cold virus at exactly the right point in time helps the immune system fight Covid. That's a small window that isn't overly helped by general exposure. You could even imagine it would be made worse - if we're all exposed to the cold all the time we've developed more immunity and this mechanism might not happen.

> Low stress (because I would be a senior doing junior tasks), more money. Bingo. From an ethical point of view: I would be a junior (earning junior money) producing senior-level coding. That's a big win for any company, no?

Once the companies find out you can produce senior level output and junior level prices, they will take advantage of that situation quickly. So the stress would be quickly back with lower wages.
> The issue with space debris is that on our current trajectory, at some point in the future, there will be so much debris traveling so fast that future space exploration will be impossible

The issue is keeping things in orbit not space exploration. Realistically going through is never going to be a problem. The worst that might happen is that you need some monitoring and manoeuverability on-board of your spacecraft but it's not insurmountable. Even near Earth, space is that big.

Staying there with a lot of debris flying around really fast that could become impossible.

I think GP is conflating an issue with online dating and the psychology of beauty. Basically, men in online dating on average get very low numbers of matches while women on average get a ton. It's a numbers game, the apps know it, and that's why they have upgrades to buy visibility etc...

It's a genuine problem, in that it is fully exploitative of men, but not related to this imo.
My understanding of the issue is that the biggest problems are a few well known defunct satellites in mid altitude orbit. We have no control over them so if two collide we are in big trouble. That almost happened last year. I think someone can make a big difference by targeting those first.
Math is easy to forget because it often goes unused for years. Pre-algebra was likely taught to these people early, maybe at the age of 11 or 12. It isn't crazy to think they largely forgot about this six years on.

Of course, it doesn't help that mathematics is treated as second-class in standardized testing. You can hand-wave away a low math score as long as you're avoiding a technical major, unlike, say English (assuming America here).

I will admit to having to re-learn how logarithms work nearly every time I use them. And each time, it's pretty obvious based on the websites I see with instructions that logs are taught to like sixth graders.
Question: why does china have the power to dictate who can attend (whatever) at the "United Nations" ?
You could mass units in SC, sure, but you couldn't build a deathball, which is something else. The pathing AI was too terrible for that. So players were incentivized to conduct fights across broad areas, defend across chokepoints with small numbers of specialized units and do a lot of harass and attack across the entire map with smaller groups of units.

There was never any sort of deathball in the same sense of SC2 protoss and massing a single unit was a good way to get stomped in mid to higher levels of play.

> The interest rate simply moderates between saving and investment.

For businesses perhaps, but this doesn't happen much at the personal level. Most people will save in cash, rather than invest, even if interest rates are zero or negative. Most people are risk adverse.

> While the annual ISA tally showed high levels of saving, most of the money went into cash ISAs, which offer low rates of interest and could leave savers vulnerable to rising inflation.

So that's only ~20% of savers investing in to stocks in the most tax efficient way possible in the UK, even when the Bank of England base rate is at 0.1%

Google phones allow re-locking the bootloader with your own key, except it still results in a warning during boot, and there's no way you're passing SafetyNet with this, at least not without hacks like Magisk.

> I’m surprised to see people disparaging natural immunity. This news about the rhinovirus is great. We should not turn our backs on any method of reaching herd immunity.

I'm not disparaging, I'm asking if it actually grants any. Does the body actually learn to fight COVID if it's just throw up defenses for the Cold?

> I’d consider bringing my young kids to a ‘pox party’ to help get things under control, given the latest evidence.

Pox parties only worked because the parents and grandparents were already immune. Instead you're creating your own little super-spreader event that will move through whoever they come in contact with. People wouldn't have done Pox parties if they thought they were going to kill grandma with them. Also, please keep in mind that, like chicken pox, while many children will be OK, some don't, so much so that children's hospitals currently need help[1].

The less I want is to defend Facebook but I think lately people don't want to acknowledge their own responsibilities. It's like every time there is a problem, the cause is someone/something else. I don't think Instagram is impossed to anyone. Young people can feel the pressure to use it because their friends use it but they aren't forced to do so.

From the article it seems that young girls know about the toxicity in the application, why they keep using it? if their parents are aware too, why do they let their daughters use it?
What makes you think that old school Windows didn't use telemetry?

(I ask because I'm genuinely curious, not just playing devil's advocate -- I strongly suspect that even in 2000, Microsoft was collecting user data. But I'm to young to have been in the industry at the time, so maybe telemetry just wasn't that big in 2000?)
I recently discovered https://lekh.app which uses web assembly. I had a conversation with the developer and he told me that he is using web assembly for the core diagramming and shape recognition logic. The app is for diagramming and whiteboarding.

What if it was an 8x8 grayscale photo of their face? We wouldn't be particularly surprised that it can guess race. The fact that we struggle to detect patterns in the data doesn't mean they don't exist.
I see it, and I note that (a) that's editorializing by the WSJ based on their interpretation of comments from law professor Kate Klonick and (b) the underlying facts are that Facebook claimed XCheck is used in "a small number of decisions" and the evidence in that article doesn't contradict that claim.

Nothing in the article gives hard numbers, so (unless WSJ has those numbers and forgot to report them), we have to extrapolate. XCheck-flagged accounts grew to 5.8 million users, but Facebook has 1.9 billion daily actives. If we assume about equal numbers of issues from the XCheck and non-XCheck accounts, XCheck accounts would make up less than 0.5% of all incidents. That's "a small number" if you're thinking in ratios. If you're thinking in absolute numbers, well, we don't have enough data to know what the absolute count looks like. Could be that a lot of XCheck'd accounts have zero incidents. Insufficient data.
AIs do not have magical abilities, I do not trust this result. AI can pick up though easily on technical artifacts. Something like a cofactor: Since they used different databases, maybe one dataset had a high number of people of one self declared race and the other the other self declared race; and each using a different intensity maximum or so.

The effect of mammoths can be true AND it can be "a way to market their goofy experiment to gullible journalists". We've seen significant changes caused by the near extinction of the American Bison for instance.
What you're proposing is pretty much how the first vaccine was invented. (Jenner gave people cow pocks because that created immunity against the much more severe small pocks.)

That was great at the time, but today's vaccines are just a much better and more targetted way of creating immunity.
It is disappointing to read some comments saying that "It is not FB/Insta's fault?". Those who don't see the challenges that these teens go through is clearly delusional. While there are some good things in the tech, it clearly has a negative side that impact children's mental health through unrealistic beauty standards, and trap them into dopamine loops.

I still believe that ranking/recommendation models should be open, parents/individuals should have -at least- the choice to make these algorithms less harmful.

Fields are abstractions that ease the calculation of the forces on charges caused by the positions and motions of other charges. The charges interact, but the fields don’t; there is nothing “there” to interact. (This is classical EM.)

If you are in a room with two charges, the electrostatic field at any point is the addition of the fields from each charge. There is no extra interaction term.
Mammoth is literally the hardest animal to do this for. Why not the dodo? Or anything smaller/with a faster generation time. I guess that wouldn't bring in investors and reporters...

"And obviously, an even better pattern is to actually deal with the error" How would you deal with NewFromString? https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/shopspring/decimal#NewFromStri...

Try different strings? Maybe run through some AI code to figure out what the string really should have been? Most errors you just have to throw your hands up and declare something's wrong. I write in Go and Kotlin and Kotlin has been much less buggy because errors naturally flow up where they are logged and stop the normal execution. I've seen a number of examples in Go where the error was not returned, causing silent failures.
It's mostly the "in production" part that determines whether R is suitable for a business or not. It's much more complicated to avoid runtime errors or do proper testing in R, whereas it shines for interactive use, or generating reports.

That said having used both the DSL's for plotting and data wrangling in the R package ecosystem are vastly superior to pandas and python plotting libraries. For modeling I actually like the better namespacing of Python which helps keep things more legible when there are a ton of model options to choose from, assuming you don't need cutting edge statistics.

Github, possibly sourceforge and ibiblio before them, has blurred the distinction between (possibly unfinished) project and ... "everything else". Expoloratory forks, notes for capturing ideas, "here's a pile of crap that runs for me so i'll share it" and so on; which could be categorized more finely.

Definitely a distinction worth reviving; there's lots of value in "everything else" but the expectations we apply should be different.

>So I’m still waiting for a proof (not a pun or an anecdote) that immigration reduces salaries.

And what would that be? A study linking both while accounting for every other factor? I don't think it's even possible to do such a thing.

>Which means that EU nationals living in the UK earn more than the locals, so they can’t be driving salaries down. Unless you hypothesise a fantasy counterfactual where Jack deChav, who’s now an underpaid bartender, would have become a software developer and would be earning 6 digits if only Carlos de Perros, S/W developer from Malaga, didn’t steal his job.

There is competition even in software development, it doesn't take anyone to be a bartender for competition to cause a wage drop, moreover the reality is way more stark when you look at jobs that aren't as cushy as software development. A Spanish waiter is probably used to lower salaries and is probably more dependent on his job than an English one that has a support network in his country, his chances to unionize are also lower. We see it all the time with immigrants from low income countries.

I can imagine how immigration can lead to economic growth and salary growth as a result, but I find it impossible that the race to the bottom caused in low-income jobs is worth for them at all, if anything the economic growth is caused by this low-cost labor.
Differences between African groups being bigger than between blacks and whites in NA don't make the rough categorization no longer work. For example, there's rather little genetic variety within dogs, or between dogs and wolves, but that doesn't say much about how impactful the variation is: Chihuahuas and Huskies are genetically really similar to each other, but no one in their right minds would disagree that you can comfortably put them in different, very real, very genetics-based buckets.

In general, arguments of variation within a group are not arguments against considering between-group differences, or those between-group differences being real. The variation within a category cannot be dismissed, though, it's hugely important for understanding the world properly and for guiding personal conduct.
