That's obviously not what's happening here though. I have plenty of adult friends who go on public and private servers and actively trash talk during games and have never been banned. And none of their friends have been banned. A small group of 10 year-old children aren't having a coordinated attack of hundreds to thousands of reports against them repeatedly over many months.

Not to mention tacking on the requirement that instead of a bunch of 10 year-old children being - as they tend to be - offensive/testing limits when adults aren't looking, Microsoft is publicly lying to their customers (creating liability) and implementing an automated system so poor it doesn't so much as check if the reported user even uses chat.

EDIT: To further substantiate what I'm saying, I just checked and you cannot submit a report without selecting the specific messages that relate to it. The UX requires that the individual messages are selected and cannot be submitted empty. The parent is at least being misled in thinking their child or their friends don't use the chat feature.

Oof. They're kids. Cursing here and there is not the end of the world.
There's a strong argument for a causal effect (correlation != causation notwithstanding).

They showed that temperature variation (colder or hotter than usual) is correlated with a greater volume of tweets overall and also a greater proportion of tweets being hate speech.

It seems to me that an increase in the proportion of hate speech could be caused simply by an increase in volume and only have an indirect cause by temperature.

I looked but couldn't find anything that might show that's not the case.

Are Republican systems immune from the head of state messing with legislation, or abusing executive privilege to keep things secret, inappropriately? The President of the US pushing for legislation--openly or otherwise, and including legislation that directly affects him--has been a feature of the American system basically from the start. And there are many examples of information being kept secret in the name of national security or whatever.

Between the two...could you really picture Queen Elizabeth attempting to seize total control of the state--much less accomplishing it? Or the monarchs of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, or Japan?

I can picture a President attempting to seize power in a Republican system. In fact I can point to several specific examples from the past few decades, successful or otherwise.

I'm definitely not saying constitutional monarchy is the perfect system, at all. I'm just saying that after spending most of my life with the assumption that monarchies were just a quaint anachronism left over from days gone by, a sort of political appendix...I've started to notice that they seem to have interesting properties and robustness that other systems might lack. It's possible that the monarchy serves a useful purpose after all (actually...much like the appendix).

This probably sounds silly but is marketing why tomato sauce is often in sachets rather than added to your burger directly?

To explain: in most parts of the world unless you say no sauce the burger will have sauce added as they make it.

I've found in the US they give you a dry burger and then more sachets than you need of sauce. Which you then take and add yourself.

It's a minor weird difference. I find it an annoyance myself 'why do I need to put my own sauce on, can't they do it when they make it?'. I've always wondered why the US burger joints seem to consistently do it this way. The only thing I can guess is that they want to show you that it's Heinz sauce.
I'm really glad that they got that platinum jubilee celebration in earlier this year.

While the phrase has become used more loosely, I believe (could be wrong, of course) that it is best used to explain that the cause of being false is a category error. It's like the distinction between a type error and a value error. In this case, I'd say it's a value error. The value 100 is false, not the type, because we know that a nonzero amount of prose in legislation is indeed written by lobbyists.
>Fortunately, the Muslims went to great length to preserve the history and culture, even as globalization etches away at it. There's a reason we take great pride in how our religion and traditions have been preserved (all by the Grace of God of course).

I just have no idea how this would work? I'm starting a golf wiki: https://golfcourse.wiki , and i really am thinking about taking in a not for profit direction.

I guess, as someone trying to build a startup from nothing, bootstrapping is just hard. Lord knows I'm very proud of the growth I've had, but I'm still almost certain that nothing will come of the nearly 3 years I've worked on this site. Unless you're willing to potentially bankrupt yourself to build a nonprofit, or fight on alone incredibly slowly, I really think that nearly every startup with seed funding will absolutely have to sell out big time.

I visit more new domains that need adjustment per week than you apparently do per month. That’s what I meant, it’s probably okay if you rarely need it. The issues start if you frequently do.

I also often experiment which blocked domain is making issues, sometimes requiring 4-5 rounds till I have it set up the way I want it to.
>A child is ~100x more likely to die from a drug overdose than a mass shooting, and ~10x from a car crash. Yet our perception is skewed because of what we see in the news / shared.

Wait, I have the opposite reaction to the car crash comparison. Is that accurate? It blows my mind that the odds of a child in the US dying in a mass shooting is only a single order of magnitude less than the chance they die in a car crash...

"...tree growing to sequester carbon is very complicated, there's a lot we don't know, and there are a ton of different outcomes depending on how/where the tree growing is carried out.."

My guess is they say that because that's a much as they can say with full evidence backing. But suspect that most ecologists actually want to say "planting tree is a dumb solution for carbon sequestering or anything, please stop". That's what my ecologists say, certainly.

I mean, consider:

A) Trees are very good at spreading themselves. A tree adapted to it's environment will spread everywhere.

B) You can't get more carbon into an environment than ecosystem naturally sequesters - what it sequesters in long term, what's at the end of forest succession [1]. I'm in the California Sierras now and a lot of areas have a higher density of trees than the long term average and this along with global warming has contributed to the massive summer fires we've had. If anything, what this area's ecology needs is a thinning of the stick-like trees that have grown over the last 100 since all the existing trees were cut down during the Gold Rush. That can happen through fire or through human intervention but since human intervention is costly, fire is what it will be - fires made worse by fire suppression over many years. California's ecology is "fire based", etc.

Adults play too. Imagine you are an adult Minecraft player who plays in a popular private server with only other adults (e.g. any of the big popular YouTube Minecrafters). You then play on a public server and someone reports you and gets you banned. You now cannot play on that private server or any other multiplayer world, even if it is just you and a friend.

Just tried to setup Stable Diffusion tonight on Windows/AMD tonight.

ROCm doesn't support Windows. Pytorch doesn't support OpenCL. WSL2 can't plug into HIP even through it's apparently hiding in Windows somewhere.

Nvidia would in theory just work.

Granted AMD supports SR-IOV in it's consumer GPUs, so when I have a moment, I may setup a full Hyper-V VM and pass thru the GPU.

Lastly, most AI researchers simply assume you are running CUDA, and don't develop around portability.
Good data science only "psuedo crops" for scale.

Eg: Sat imagery is scan lines full of instrument return values.

The first normalisation is to use 99.9% of the returned value range to setup a colour lookup table.

.1% of the return values could be :

* lens flare

* instrument error

* actual valid but extreme data values.

Depending on the problem domain, after removing (actual) error and bogus values (where possible) you might actually be using the 99.9% of the data to "train" for normal expected background stuff ... and you're really looking for the edge case that is Gold | Uranium | a Hidden tank, etc.

Minecraft does not ban users for profanity. The list of ban offenses is currently:

Hate speech, sexual content and soliciting improper contact, real life threats, exposing the personal information of others, posting links to malicious software, impersonating staff, cheating/exploits (this includes anything that would negatively affect another person’s gameplay experience), general commercial spamming

Profanity is considered the responsibility of specific server moderators since it's a low-level offense that's virtually impossible to police in a game like Minecraft. They're trying to avoid the notoriety recently obtained by Roblox for being a place for adults to exploit children.
It was also a personal (and opinion) statement from Markus Persson (notch), who fully owned the game at the time, predating the formation of Mojang, let alone Mojang's acquisition by Microsoft.

I'm disheartened also by the fact it'll never become open source, but the statement was never legally-binding and never part of the terms that a purchase of Minecraft (in alpha, at that) entailed.

I had heard this before, and I believed it. But I got convinced that that's not true by the likes of George E. Andrews and Ken Ono. They say that most of his work is correct. All of this is still hearsay as far as I'm concerned. I'm not qualified to verify his math.

I find the granular reactive paradigm of Solid to be both harder to build composable pieces with, and harder to debug in a few ways. Having a render function that re-runs on updates where you can set a debugger or log is a massive thing.

Svelte has a whole host of similar and differing problems.

Personal opinion - I’d choose React today over the rest, as someone who built my own frameworks much like Svelte and Solid 5+ years ago.
>> But Microsoft is setting community standards for places they do not run here, just because these spaces use their software. This is ridiculous, and sets yet another dangerous precedent.

I agree with what you are saying but of course somewhere Microsoft is probably hoping to convert Minecraft from a game anyone can host to a game that is always connected to some service of theirs. That way they can collect data or sell ads or maybe subscriptions.

I don't like the idea of open source games because you can't crowdsource editorial decisions. But I think gamers are going to be ready for a game that is made by a team, but owned and maintained by the gamers. Probably through a DAO or something like that. How else can you maintain a game for years in the best interest of people who bought it? Just making a game open source isn't enough imo.
Totally agree with everything in this article.

In my company, this awfulness has been amplified by our response to covid-19. Many more people are working from home and so all meetings are now conducted online (teams in our case). This makes every aspect worse. A meeting that might have been held in a meeting room is now several people on the floor talking loudly with headphones on. People keep their headphones on to block out this noise so incidental contact is severely constrained - I can't tell if someone is in a meeting so I don't want to interrupt them to say hello.

I had a one-on-one meeting with my boss this week and we held it over teams. I didn't realise until after the meeting that we were both in the office and could have had a normal meeting.

People with families are loving the working from home option and so the floor is only about 1/3 occupied, which makes it feel weird.
honestly this is such a bad take and it really annoys me. it's okay if it doesn't come easily! some of the best works of art took ages to conceptualize and realize, and the fact bukowski thinks that's antithesis to art shows in his sloppy and unconsidered writing.

I (mostly) find myself agreeing with you on this website, and I see what point you're making by referencing healthcare, but that's not at all relevant.

To steelman your argument, you're concerned about proliferation of, essentially, tomfoolery and pilferage amongst the young. Because of changing or weakening of cultural norms, or because of some other reason (maybe poverty or class divides or some such explanation). I mostly share these concerns, to be honest, because in the last 2 years I've started to see the apathy present in younger co-workers that have joined the company I'm at. The problem I have with your comparison is that ... no one wants to be like Saudi Arabia except the Saudis. Older iterations of Civilization had much more draconian enforcement of law because, and this is just my personal opinion based on my own reading of history, the stakes were a lot higher. Stealing someone's coin or robbing them of their livestock literally killed the victim (usually very slowly and very very miserably), and so, in a way that I understand, it made sense for the penalty for such a transgression to be as or nearly as extreme as the cost to the victim.

I'm not sure what purpose it would serve to bring that back, since the stakes are demonstrably not that high. I realize you're not arguing for that, and are making a broader point. I'm trying to think of constructive ways to explain to these kids that "stealing is bad", but then I just realize that the problem isn't the kids, it's the Professors and the University, and redirect my criticism toward those institutions instead.
There is a severe demographic problem with this study (among others). A current trend in the social sciences is using Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific to run surveys. These sites are based around paying people pennies to compete menial tasks (like complete surveys), and populated with large numbers of "professional" menial task executers. This study offered the big bucks of $1.50 - $2.25. There are two major problems with this:

1) It doesn't matter how you normalize a sample when that sample is a niche subsample of society to begin with. This has always been a problem with the social sciences which previously relied heavily on undergraduates in social science classes, but that is going to at least be much closer to something like a representative sample than Amazon Mechanical Turk or Prolific can offer.

2) The people carrying out the tasks are motivated primarily by blazing through as many studies as possible while doing the bare minimum to get paid, and many fail at even that. In this study ctrl+f for "attention check." To this study's credit, they at least included numerous attention checks, but it emphasizes the issue. On average about 1 out of 6 participants were excluded for failing to correctly answer questions along the lines of "Please select C as the answer to this question."

Journals are likely indulging this because it's going to generate endless "impact" (which is increasingly becoming a euphemism for clickbait), but it's undermining the entire field more than ever before.
