Trying to diminish something said in earnest by later claiming it was a joke is definitely a technique that can be used to gaslight.

But right now we’re talking about a comedian who’s essentially recording himself performing. It’s quite obviously different.

It would be silly to assume a comedian is telling the truth during a performance, and absurd to claim said comedian is gaslighting when he later explains that he was joking.
Both statements can be true at the same time

In Botany for example, I've never heard reference to a plant's gender. It is always sex. Even for plants that can change sex, either on their own accord, or induced by human processes.

Even in animal husbandry, determining one from the other is called sexing and not gendering. Some fish and other aquatic animals change sex over the course of their lives - never a mention of gender.

Gender is a human social construct, albeit closely connected to sex. Loosely you could perhaps say that gender is the cultural and societal presentation of one's sex.

"...you’d think that something so simple might have been perfected—becoming a 100 percent reliable commodity. But that hasn’t happened. There are still tons of faulty zippers out there. Teeth that break. Pulls that pop. Herky-jerky sliding and irreparable lockups."

Oh so true. I've had so many run-ins and fights with zippers over the years that I've developed an intense dislike for them. I come to the conclusion that they're a 100-year-old invention still looking for a suitable use.

They're forever jamming or the teeth fail to engage, or they catch on clothing which then cannot be extracted. ...And I shouldn't have to remind the average male of their ability to draw blood.

When they break they're impossible to repair. To repair them means changing them completely for a new one and for that one needs a 'degree' in sewing and the patience of a saint. Then there's the difficulty of finding a suitable replacement that fits.

You should watch or read someone like Hunter S. Thompson interview people he despises. He got his yucks on with Nixon, and this is a guy who purportedly trained his dog to savage a cloth dummy at the word "Nixon." You smile and laugh and let people hang themselves.

Similarly, I've heard the most shameful and shocking things from people you wouldn't guess, because I am told I have a very non-judgemental demeanor. Father Confessor jokes have been made, and I faintly smile and raise my eyebrows, and then people tell me about drinking a full steaming stein of their own urine. I've heard worse, far worse. People like to unburden themselves.
As a Canadian, I vehemently want to disagree with this comment, but I have a difficult time doing so. Our government failed to rein in the housing market and it became easier to just sit and watch your house appreciate than strive to do better. For example, there were years recently where average houses in cities across the country appreciated more than average incomes in those same cities - I.e. the house “earned” more than the owner. With that kind of nonsensical scenario, why would anyone feel motivated to work harder? Just leverage up and buy another house.

I hope this corrects. Good times make weak men, weak men make tough times, tough times make strong men, strong men make good times. I think we are heading toward tough times.

Yes, and I will stand by it.

Europeans love to use ethnic subgroups of white as markers for diversity, but the distinctions are much smaller. Culture and religion(or the manner of its rejection) on the other hand seem to be greatly homogenous in European nations.

Each European nation seems to have a secondary ethnic group of ex-colonial immigrants (France : West Africa, England : North (erstwhile) India, Germany : Turks (not colonial)); but they too seem to be othered within their identity as a nation.

The US actually tries a 2 directional cultural exchange with its immigrant groups. The friction and vitriol that you see, has to do with a genuine attempt at mutual integration. It starts with surface level differences like having access to every cuisine to having celebrities of every ethnicity. But, it also goes deeper. America almost has 'I made this [1]' approach towards appropriating cultural products that start elsewhere. To an extent, the reason Americans get so loud about losing their culture, is because American culture is so weakly defined & fluid. On the other hand, you might not see Germans or French people abusing 'immigrants' because unless you fully integrate, you will always be othered. The very rigidity of the culture, makes it 'feel' like a welcoming place to outsiders.

Americans love to self-flagellate, but the country has done better than any other country at developing at identity that isn't racial, religious or cultural in nature. That's not to say that the conditions are great here. But integration and cultural exchange are hard problems, and not-too-bad is about as good as it gets.

The difference between "a democracy" and "a constitutional federal republic" seems to be a distinction without meaning.

There's a certain segment who seem very adamant that this is a very important argument to win against "the left". But I've never met any "leftist" who cares particularly - most seem to shrug, concede the label and move on.

I'm pretty much in agreement. The US is a democracy in the wide sense in that it uses a democratic process to choose government. It's also true that it's a representative democracy in that the process works by people choosing representatives. So sure - constitutional federal republic.

But why does anyone think this is particularly important, and why is this seen as something that there is any left/right distinction on is beyond me.

There is no possibility of a lone can blasting out there, whatever the delta-V it could muster.

You need, at least, two cans to swing at ends of a boom so your crew does not arrive unable to walk. You might want something attached at the axis, besides. That thing might do all the boosting, with the cans' Raptors used just to land with. ISRU fantasies notwithstanding, they need to carry enough fuel to blast off again, come time to go home.

The cans get benefit of aerobraking on the way down. The mainframe will need to shed its excess velocity some other way. There's nothing else near enough by to swing around. It will need to have brought along enough fuel to boost home, besides. Maybe it used ion thrusters all the way out, and can use them to creep back to Mars in time to pick up the cans and head home.

An alternative is that there is no mainframe, just the boom, and you re-fold and stow it before arrival. Somebody else would have boosted your cans out there, maybe a pair of Superheavys, so your cans won't have to arrive empty.

I wonder if a Superheavy with no can stacked on could make it to orbit in one stage. Probably you would unship their engines on orbit, and install a couple of vacuum Raptors in their place before sending them careering out of the solar system.

Is there a high-level cryptography library for Haskell, ideally with sensible defaults, so that a beginner could get started without shooting themselves in the foot?

Haskell-crypto seems good, but is listed as “experimental” which is dissuading.

Oh wow, so that's why this is seen as a left/right thing?

I'm not from the US (and therefore way left for the US) and I think assuring representation of the less populous states is very important.

I think the first-past-the-post voting system used in the US is a much bigger problem than this.

Rather than focus on the sex of researchers here and in previous research, taking a step back this indicates that the individual researcher is important and will influence results. After all, not everyone of a particular sex emits the same quantities of the same pheromones in the same way. It seems studies need more isolation from the researchers, or we are going to end up with more unpronounceable studies because a key researcher was nearsighted and partial to garlic.
While partially true, that won't be the case for most people. And that can change your experience in a way you can't control (think of people at a concert filming the entire thing on their phone, or even everyone sitting around a dinner table on their phones).

It's fine if you don't want to keep responding... but in case you want clarity, what I was asking is "Why should anyone spend any time at all adding microdata, or failing that, using CSS class names to emulate microdata?"

Your original comment read to me like, "Here's how you can do something similar using CSS class names without using the microformats standards." My question was, why do either?

With microformats, at least it's supposed to be a machine-parseable standard for crawlers and the like. It never got much traction, and of the times I've used it, absolutely no measurable benefits (in terms of SEO or indexability) were seen at all.

With descriptive CSS class names you come up with yourself, not adhering to any standard, it seems even less likely that any crawler would be able to use them meaningfully. It's even less "semantic" than microdata or semantic HTML5 tags.

So my question was, what is the benefit of doing that? Are these class names just reminders for yourself, months later, so you can remember what a certain component was supposed to do? Or does it help your development/debugging/testing workflow somehow (such as being able to easily target widgets in the DOM for automated testing, perhaps?)

I wasn't trying to dismiss your comment, just trying to understand the value of putting in that effort. I'm sorry if it came across as flippant, there's just a lot that gets lost in online posts. Anyway, feel free to elaborate if you'd like, but if you just want to move on, that's totally fine too :)
Data is an excellent place to look at to get a sense of where the model is likely to work or not (what kinds of images), and for prompt design ideas because, roughly speaking, the probability of something working well is proportional to its frequency (or of things very similar to it) in the data.

The story is more complex though because the data can often be quite far away from actual neural net training due to preprocessing steps, data augmentations, oversampling settings (it's not uncommon to not sample data uniformly during training), etc. So my favorite place to scrutinize is to build a "batch explorer": During training of the network one dumps batches into pickles immediately before the forward pass of the neural net, then writes a separate explorer that loads the pickles and visualizes them to "see exactly what the neural net sees" during training. Ideally one then spends some quality time (~hours) looking through batches to get a qualitiative sense of what is likely to work or not work and how well. Of course this is also very useful for debugging, as many bugs can be present in the data preprocessing pipeline. But a batch explorer is harder to obtain here because you'd need the full training data/code/settings.

>The United States didn't do enough to help Russia transition to democracy in the 1990s.

it was a tough choice. To transition to democracy it was necessary to dismantle and punish for the most egregious crimes the KGB and the likes, to actually prohibit Communist Party and to deny the people directly associated with the totalitarian regime of USSR any positions of power for at least 10 to 20 years. East Germany, Baltic and some other East Europe countries did for example various elements of such a process. Such "de-communization"/"lustration" though carried risk of instability, and instead US chose stability because of USSR/Russia nukes, and thus US actually helped KGB to survive the 1991. Splitting Russia further would have also helped to dampen the anti-democratic imperial drive in Russia, yet that was coming with the chances to increase the number of nuclear armed countries, and this is again why US didn't support the breakup of Russia into smaller pieces.
I think such smaller pieces would have had higher chances for democratic transition due to most of them losing the imperial drive.

Belarus has never did the "lustration", and is a lost cause for the foreseeable future. Ukraine also didn't do "lustration" back in 199x, and that resulted in the grave danger to the country in 2014 when a lot of army and government officers didn't want to defend their country. So Ukraine had to do such "lustration" in the years since 2014, and today its results are obvious in their successful fight against the invasion.

People? Period? If you truly don't think journalists and political leaders, among others, have a responsibility to behave responsibly with the truth and their methods, and that people are right to expect that of them and evaluate them on it...

Then I guess we have enough of a different worldview that communication is indeed difficult.

I'm not sure what makes something a culture war to you. I am a leftist critisizing both Joe Rogan and Jon Stewart. My problem with Jon Stewart is not with his politics, which I largely agree with. To me, a culture war approach is more thinking that you must pick a side and then insist those on the other side are without virtue and those on yours without flaw -- I am also not interested in that.
