I remember reading that geniuses tend to be more likely to have creative or artistic hobbies. Art is an instance of symbolic abstract reasoning. The level of originating new modes of expressing shape and form, which is what all the earliest humans would have had to do, is the highest mode of intelligence.

You can't use today's standards where it's all streamlined and commodified (though still requiring talent) on that period of time where every little innovation, even simple counting, would have required incredible brilliance and lateral thinking.

Pretty much.

People don't often realise, but users are a resource just like any other. And if a resource is abundant, you'll often sacrifice a bit of that for the sake of something else.

So... sure, bad content (false negatives) and being handled unfairly (false positives) sours users, prompting them to leave the platform. And both things are bound to happen, if you put an algorithm reviewing stuff instead of a person. But since there are so many users, Facebook is better off doing this crap than actually spending money by hiring enough people to actually review the reports, checking the context to decide if they apply or not.

And you'll see other businesses doing exactly the same decision; that's why, for example, Reddit became such a shithole, and people outright complain about the Anti-Evil Operations all the time. Twitter is likely the same, dunno. And it shows that we cannot and we should not rely on mass social media, we should be sticking to smaller alternatives.[/soapbox]
I was involved with digital cinema in the mid 2000s and attended standards meetings. Dolby was constantly trying to push their proprietary format for 5.1 audio into the standard but luckily everyone else at the table pushed back, correctly pointing out that just raw PCM 5.1 audio was perfectly adequate (and didn't require a bunch of licensing fees!). Dolby had to actually innovate (with Atmos) to get anyone to actually listen to them.

Though I'm quite disappointed with ATSC 3.0 which appears to have given in to them and used their proprietary audio codec which no one supports yet. I'm extremely skeptical that it provides a tangible benefit over more widely supported formats. Yay, regulatory capture.

I don't know about these study conclusions; the secret directions seem more like advertisements to me: Someone whispers "Please walk" and my brain (consciously or otherwise) thinks about it and realizes I'd like a drink, just like if I drive past a McDonald's billboard and think, "Hmm, french fries would hit the spot right now." Someone flashes "close the window" and it draws attention to the fact that actually, I am kind of chilly and would like the window to be closed. It doesn't mean the desire was made up, just not considered until it got the spotlight.
And yet here you are getting grey'd out. What humans inflicted upon each other over the last 2.5 years is absolutely disgusting. These few years have shown the worst of humanity.

All I take heart in is knowing your view and mine will be the the correct one. History will not look fondly upon what society did to itself. All these "experts" and politicians who supported this will be viewed as crackpots, charlatans and rain dancers.

> Checked exceptions are horrid.

Came here to say exactly this. Exceptions are a poor-man's implementation of an error-handling applicative or monad type. Checked exceptions are especially terrible because their usage forces handling of exceptions in every layer of the call stack above the point where the checked exception might be thrown instead of simply writing a single exception handler at an appropriate layer.

On the one hand law and order are the solution that democratic societies based on rule of law have found for fighting crime and solving conflicts. It’s quite literally the best system humanity has come up with. The alternatives are militias, mob rule, gangs or anarchy, where gay people, blacks, Russians and Uyghurs don’t fare better.

On the other hand, one could also rediscover the benefits of law and order by getting hit by a bullet in one of the by now notorious Swedish gang wars.

This could put pressure on Dolby to release their older stuff for free (no licensing) which would be a huge win for everyone. But I agree about Google - the whole point of Dolby is to have a high quality standard that is the industry choice for consistency. That does cost money (mainly in licensing their stuff or chips that use their encoder) but the way I see they have to make profit somehow. Is it overpriced? Probably.

Is older standard dolby digital (and dolby digital plus) 5.1 surround sound still pretty damn good? Yep - and it should be free. They have 20 years of newer, superior stuff to make money from!
Maybe deliberate is too strong a word, or maybe I'm using a loose definition of rationalization. I've observed rationalizations that I think were a choice, but not necessarily a conscious or considered choice. When I find myself rationalizing I feel like it often bubbles up and then I choose to push it back down (at least, until I'm ready to admit to myself this is happening, and face the consequences).

There's two people from my past who I think of. One was a conspiracy theorist who moved fluidly and rapidly from one idea to the next, and these ideas were often contradictory. It was a live, synthetic process; they were connecting the dots of different conspiracy theories on the fly. If you pointed out a contradiction to them, they'd spin a new yarn to resolve it on the spot. This is what confabulation reminds me of. There was no destination; it was a dance through fanciful ideas. That's what feels less deliberate to me, it wasn't so much providing a justification or bridging a cognitive dissonance as much as storytelling. (They once told me their epistemology was basically founded in the emotional impact of a story; they believed they had a sort of "truthiness sense" and that what moved them was what was true.) If it were a science fiction story it would have been riveting, but as an epistemology it really limited their ability to understand the world and have relationships.

Another is a friend who I had some difficult conversations with about their behavior, and after some heated discussion I finally got through to them, at least in part. But then the very next day they told me a brand new reason for why they thought their behavior was okay (it wasn't). And that felt like a choice to me. They wanted to do something, and they found a frame of thinking where it was permissible. They definitely bridged a cognitive dissonance, and I don't think they set out to do what they did, but I feel at some level they made a choice.

That being said, I think when I rationalize it's often something along the lines of, "what I'm doing is hurting me, but I can't stop because someone is counting on me to do it," and that's only a choice by the strictest definition. And I can see how my friend might've seen things that way too.

I love the thought of humanity being constant like that. Examples of things like prehistoric people drawing dicks on things, or "<name> was here" written on various ancient walls, all really emphasize that humans have been basically the same for a long time. "It was part of a fertility ritual" is one explanation, or another is that people have just always drawn dicks on things.

> Without preregistration it's almost impossible to determine exactly how cherry-picked these differences were

It is hard to credibly preregister studies that use observational data. It also seems hard to design an experiment around the roll-out of a social-media service that we know ahead of time to be successful.

Instead, what is usually done on observational data is (1) making clear what the statistical assumptions are that are required to establish causality, (2) testing possible violations of the assumptions, and (3) testing whether the data is consistent with alternative explanations.

So in such papers, results don't come for free. We need to think seriously about what reasonable theories we can have, and whether the data matches each theory.

> without insight into how the study controlled for the time axis and potential confounding variables about the non-random selection of schools for the rollout, it's difficult to say more.

The paper does also use alternative assumptions that lead to alternative statistical specifications. They also look at various intermediate outcomes to see if they are consistent with their proposed narrative. Such defensive writing is what blows the PDF up to almost 80 pages.

The UI isn't all that intuitive, the 'ask to save'/'ask to update' prompts don't work that well, but I don't really blame them because they are injecting into the DOM which usually changes.

I wish it was more obvious when I have an existing session with the desktop app which can send a token to the browser extension to keep it loaded.

I think they are suggesting that profit margins should be zero (if not negative)… and in my experience most people taking these kinds of positions would prefer if your takehome pay was just a little bit less than theirs.

So pretty much doubling down on the point: it’s gouging when I say it is.
Maybe a dumb idea, but I wonder if there's a future in cryptographically signing videos in order to prove provenance. I'm imagining a G7 meeting, for instance, where each participant signs the video before it's released. Future propagandists, in theory, wouldn't be able to alter the video without invalidating the keys. And public figures couldn't just use the "altered video" excuse as a get-out-of-jail free card.

It wouldn't solve any of the fundamental problems of trust, of course (namely, the issue of people cargo-culting a specific point of view and only trusting the people that reinforce it). But, it would at least allow people to opt out of sketchy "unsigned" videos showing up on their feeds.

I guess it would also allow people to get out of embarrassing situations by refusing to sign. But, maybe that's a good thing? We already have too much "gotchya" stuff that doesn't advance the discourse.

The only way lock downs were even remotely possible was zoom. Without zoom, none of this would have been possible. One has to be incredibly privileged to think lockdowns can work in any place but very advanced "first world" societies. Getting villagers living in the 12th century to lockdown would mean they'd all starve to death. Same with getting some favella in Brazil to lock down. It just doesn't work.

It requires an immense, huge amount of privilege to support virtually any of our response to covid. Anybody but a select group of wealth upper class people get absolutely fucked over by lockdowns. Fucked over far worse than covid ever would have.
>that people are claiming this is just too hard for a company so they should get to profit off of it.

Completely disingenuous argument. Literally nobody claimed that.

By the same token of strawmanning, you're claiming that businesses should do nothing than hire people to send your data back to you. Why even have businesses if that's the only thing you think they should do?

If you're so invested in "your data, damnit", then don't give it to them in the first place.
And 100% of people could live without phone companies with no impact to their daily lives, we’ve got internet right? Of course I would be the one defining impact here. You may consider impact to daily lives not substantial, but others see the substantial impact of not being able to reach their family, friends, and customers and the disadvantage that comes with others having that access but you not. It’s not like Facebook actually is making the “social media” you see in your feed, it is 100% carrying social media from users, the same way a phone company aren’t the one making calls.
My strategy is to provide selective spoilers. I think the scary/violent parts of movies are easier on children when they are prepared emotionally that everything will be ok.

So for Spirited Away I warned them in advance, “It’s got scary parts-for example, her parents get turned into pigs! But it all turns out ok in the end. You’ll have to watch to see how.”

And for “Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro” something similar: “Just so you know, there’s one part where he gets shot with a gun and blood comes out. But don’t worry he doesn’t die.”
Simple does not mean easy. In fact sometimes a simply difficult problem is the hardest.

If you are concerned about performance at that level you likely shouldn't be allocating and de-allocating memory all the time, as that is slow even without zeroing. You should use a memory pool to allow re-using your allocated memory.
Rust is more memory safe, more concise, and pretty much just as fast. There, now you go?

If you're being pedantic, atomic instructions are a misnomer. But "Lock free" is a property of parallel algorithms where if there's N > 1 processors evaluating an algorithm, there is no state where the algorithm cannot make progress ("locked" meaning "all N processors are waiting")

Whether you want to debate if a physical system can realize a lock-free algorithm is a different debate. Hell, half the "well known" lock-free algorithms assume memory allocation/reclamation isn't blocking.

In what way is data privacy regulation for corporations not a regulation on interstate commerce? That's like, the whole deal. That's the entire internet. If anything, Internet regulations applying at the state level is even more insane, because of the inherently cross-state nature of globally networked communication.
