I went looking at the published paper (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258900422...) and it says on pg3: "this specific type of plantarflexion because
the relatively high soleus electromyography (EMG) on-time (i.e., soleus activation) coincided with upward angular motion of the ankle". The supplementary materials show EMG and range of motion graphs.

A bit of googling says plantar flexion is the same muscle movement needed for pushing the accelerator pedal while driving or ballet dancers standing on their toes.

My guess (not my field of expertise) is the muscle is activated strongly in isolation (the toe pushing down motion) and inducing a large range of motion. So it's not raising the heel so much as pushing the toe down.

I once forgot that I’d registered for a course. Got an F in it, and had to contest the grade.

Another time, I had a two hour course, but I thought it was a one hour course, and always came an hour late. One day, the teacher finally snapped: “Are you EVER going to get here on time!?!” The answer was no. No way I was sitting through two hours of that. It was my easiest class in university.

Most of my school-related nightmares have stopped at this point in my life, but they generally weren’t much worse than reality.

I find myself gifted in being able to have wild lucid dreams and remembering details, and even learning! I also have nightmares that I can't wake up from and they're terrifying. I often know it's a dream (or is it?) and can't wake up. You're missing out on a lot of fun, but you're also not tormented. If you want to remember your dreams, smoke less weed and concentrate on that blurry moment of going from awake to asleep. Our dreams are in the REM barely-asleep part of the sine wave.

They were great when they had a fixed rate component. They are also nice in that tax liability is deferred until you redeem them.

So they haven't paid this fine for over four years now and there is no penalty for it? Just because they have deep enough pockets to afford expensive lawyers? I am sure not having to pay those four billion in fines for over four years more than pays the cost of these lawyers even if they eventually have to pay this fine, right?

I mean I am glad to see a big fine like this but surely the fines must go up every day it is left unpaid.
Was this done at the same time that PayPal and Venmo shutdown the accounts of Gays Against Groomers?

Do you have links to that? have not seen those.
I doubt they were objecting to the speech itself as much as the system that had apparently been set up to facilitate it. Or in other words, you say "university policies produce punishment or non-punishment" and it seems to me it was precisely those policies that they were objecting to.
Oof, yeah fair enough.

But also "what is documentation?" You can have great customer-facing-product-docs and keep them up to date. You can have an internal process wiki that is mostely up to date. But what about the conversation over lunch/slack to change a product feature, that then becomes a story card, that gets mockup, that gets notes in the pr and comments in the code, that get ad-hoc slack conversations clarifying details. How many micro-decisions where made in that process? How many those _should_ be documented vs tossed away?
I think its because its something they faced, and dealt with, it didn't destroy their life, the way your parents told you it would.

did you notice that no one chimed in to say "yeah we have this same problem in [my EU country] too!"? the reason for that is that - as usual when people are criticising the EU - it is in fact your government's fault, and your politicians/news media/nationalist friends are using the EU as a scapegoat for their own (nation's) incompetence/corruption
>The problem is when government and social media actively collude to side step the government’s responsibility to the first amendment

The government's responsibility to the First Amendment is "don't make laws that limit freedom of religion, speech or assembly". I don't know what it means for government to collude with a third party to side-step that responsibility.

PayPal is no longer deserving of the benefit of the doubt. This isn't the work of some shadowy hacker, this is their policy. They've been doing this shit for years. No due process, no way for victims to appeal. It's their long time MO.

I don't know why anyone would use PayPal knowing their history of user hostility. If you must use PayPal, then just use it for money transit and withdraw daily, but leaving funds on PayPal is just asking to lose them.
Fortunately the prestige and social currency among Ivies and "elite" universities is rapidly turning to a stigma among a large portion of the population.
I agree!

Alas, there are a lot of comments nearby (not necessarily children of yours) from people who didn't notice this, and are working out their elitism thing. (Those damn elite professors who went to grad school in Madison!)

These are all really big schools (Cal, UMich, UW), so in retrospect, I get it. Classic "how do you normalize" thing (https://xkcd.com/1138/).
The worst thing is, that you could point out the wrong stuff, and both the platform and some very loud users would attack you even for pointing out the conflicting positions from the same source.

From "hug a chinese" to "masks don't help" one day, and "mandatory masks" the next.

I'm not that old or fat to be in any risk groups, so I got vaccinated to protect my (old) parents... and back then it was "get vaccinated and you won't get it, not spread it" (plus herd immunity), and not long after: "yes, you can get it, you can spread it, but chances of death are marginally lower"

Then one discusson on /r/conspiracy about something unrelated, and bam, banned from most of the from page subreddits.
I think that some traits have an unreasonably large effect on the species. And we attach greater significance to them after the fact which makes it seem like a big jump. For example some fish evolved to have stubby lobed fins. That gave them some local advantage. It is just coincidental that the same change lead to arms, legs and wings.

And these kind of big visible features need more than a few changes in DNA to happen. An arm needs to attach to something, have muscles and arteries and nerves. That can only evolve iteratively from something else. There is a reason that elephant trunks are also a nose.

Sure, why not? Some speech can have chilling effects on other speech. It makes sense to prioritize the former over the latter.
Just another person misusing “infer” when they meant “imply”.

I'm hoping the research has more detail than the article, because the article seems to make the illogical conclusion that having 80% of professors come from just 20% of schools is in and of itself a bias towards "elitism".

Or, it could just be that those 20 prestigious schools are harder to get into (which is pretty provably true based on acceptance rates), and could thus have higher standards than other universities.

I've become tired of the argument that any distribution that doesn't follow the distribution of an underlying population is by itself evidence of bias, without any specific evidence of bias. Not saying this is always the case, but it's an extremely lazy argument that is easily disputed if people are actually being honest.
Memory compression should handle any repeating initializer.

For years after graduating I would have this sense of undirected foreboding every Sunday.

I finally realized it was just a carry over from years of being a real procrastinator when it came to getting my school work done and the gnawing panic I would get knowing I had a lot of work and little time to do it.

It was weird that after recognizing the source that feeling dissipated pretty quickly and I really embraced being free of it all

Ioannidis wrote some obviously absolute trash in March 2020. I can’t find the worst paper (google deindex?) but I copied a quote[1]: “If we assume that case fatality rate among individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 is 0.3% in the general population — a mid-range guess from my Diamond Princess analysis — and that 1% of the U.S. population gets infected (about 3.3 million people), this would translate to about 10,000 deaths.”. His analysis in that paper was some of the most biased bullshit I have read: the low range estimate was boldly incorrect. I absolutely love his previous papers on the replication crisis. Here[2] is a different paper of his from March 2020 showing his bias. He is a solid scientist, but he went off the deep end for a while there.

You'd have to introduce a handshake between the DRAM and the memory controller because some internal operation might already be in progress when the memory controller sends a command. You'd probably also want to sync all the DRAM chips on a DIMM so the memory controller doesn't have to deal with commands being partially blocked.
I think about this often with regards to my mood. Due to brain chemical imbalances I often just feel depressed. But this is tolerable and not the end of the world—the problem comes when my brain starts to invent (confabulate!) explanations for why I feel bad. Maybe it’s because this room I’m in is messy, or maybe it’s because I’m single and nobody loves me. On reflection, these “explanations” are basically always false. But they feel true, which is a trap I work hard to avoid and which I think a lot of people would benefit from thinking about.
Something something...those who can, do; those who can't, teach.

The fact is, the best and brightest typically enter the private sector, not academia. Agree about lowering the common denominator, but I don't think that has anything to do with the way tenure is handed out if we're being honest. For instance, diversity of thought is your enemy in academia. Research universities seem to reward parrots.

I think you mean 'implies' rather than 'infers'. I'm not a big fan of the 'microaggression' concept (which seems to be an analytical tool that's been prematurely operationalized), but it's not hard to conceive of a person in a position of academic or social authority who habitually dunks on some outgroup in such a way that its members are scared to complain openly.

I picked that example because I think it's notable that FSU didn't champion the idea of anonymous dissent and push for a more transparent but maximally inclusive solution; it seems they were OK with a particular kind of speech being shut down. Paypal's lack of transparency about why they're being rejected as customers is a bad thing, but then again Paypal is notorious for unilateralism and consumer hostility, as flea-market traders on eBay have long grumbled.

I might be more sympathetic if this were an org with a long and nuanced history of arguing for a general set of values like the EFF (with whom I don't agree on every topic, but whose independence and consistency are well established). However my first impression of the FSU is that it's a more partial organization than its branding suggests.
That's not what this is at all, they don't give a damn about free speech. This is just a bunch of conspiracy crazies trying to push their views and complaining when nobody wants to be associated with them.

Try writing your own article and submit it to their site. They won't publish it unless it's some right wing conspiracy bullshit. That's their right, of course: it's their platform and they get to choose what gets published, and anything they don't agree with gets "cancelled" for anyone who wants to use that moronic term.

But then they try to turn around and get their own crap published on other, more credible platforms, because otherwise nobody will read it. And of course, these platforms, such as universities and newspapers have a reputation to protect, so they aren't going to publish a bunch of nonsense.

I'm from the colonies, now in Canada, and I get these dreams once in a while.

I was very sleep-deprived at university and once fell asleep after pulling an all-nighter for a Saturday morning exam, only to wake up on Sunday evening, with another exam looming Monday morning. Another time I overslept and was 2 hours late for a 3-hour exam. So, my dreams actually have roots in reality.
Does it do all that, or does it just pretend to understand context and extract the essence from texts? It looks as if it does because it follows the form you'd expect an answer to have if the person is intelligent. But when you look more closely, it often falls apart.

It reminds me of people who use "big words" without actually understanding them. If they don't overdo it or really miss the meaning of a term, they can seem much more educated than they are.
>> Why would Kyiv getting nuked spark all out nuclear war. Would you, as the head of NATO, press the 'Everyone Dies' button if kyiv got nuked?

> Yes.

> Ukraine is in Europe. Nuking Ukraine means the wind will likely carry the fallout radiation into Russia, Belarus and Poland at the least.

> I doesn't matter if its 1 nuke or a 100 nukes, irradiating NATO citizens is THE red line.

You're insane, and I'm glad you're nowhere near the button. An all out nuclear war will carry far, far more than "radiation" to Europe. And by "more" I mean actual warheads. It's like getting into a suicidal gun battle over a papercut.

MAD means you need to maintain an absolutely credible threat of an apocalyptic reprisal, but I think it's arguable that no one should ever actually carry out that threat (though that's information that absolutely must be kept secret). Do you really want to turn a holocaust into an extinction?
I'm _extremely_ excited about the NEMO LLM service. Looking forward to how this will turn out in reality. I hope the pricing will be attractive enough though.
It was the main reason dealing with Safari was a PITA, luckily they supported WebP recently.
Basic framework:

- Rough estimation of their current position relative to peer organizations (list them, rank them based on your general idea of who's leading overall right now)

- Any public, objective statements of their prospects by e.g. independent writers or sources

- Current share pricing relative to e.g. 200-day moving average (tech will be very low currently, so in a way it could be similar to a buy-low-sell-high situation depending on how long you work there and how they perform in the market).

- Check Yahoo Finance for technical data like that, as well as other fundamentals and other reports

- Any other objective metrics that would indicate a change in their market leadership ranking. For example upcoming launch date targets for new tech. Then evaluate share pricing changes around that time, see if pricing budged compared to expectations & read media reviews.

This is better as an ongoing process than one and done. Good luck.

It's going to be such a missed opportunity if this can't POST to external endpoints, just like the current Workflow stuff can't. (Sure you can use a bot, but you shouldn't have to!)

That's because desktop OS vendors still haven't integrated that feature. They just don't care.

My big problem with schools (and likely a contributor to my own nightmares) is how they treat themselves as arbiters of what is good and right, above parent's wishes, and especially above the people sitting in the classrooms. High schools should be treating their students as equals to their teachers at the very least. They're adults at this point, but the inhumane regimentation and arbitrary expectations continue. The odd power dynamic boils my blood. It pounded the agency out of me until more than ten years after graduating high school. Students are customers of the school and therefore should hold vastly more power, yet they're treated as cattle. Yes there are amazing teachers who do everything they can, but they're swimming against a strong current.
> Outside of a few fringe groups, most people agreed on what we knew.

Mine Safety Health Administration advice was to stay home when sick and then business as usual. I was on mine sites when others were locked at home double-masked with fear. Nobody was masked on mine sites because it restricts visibility and is unsafe. Do you think MSHA is a fringe group?

OSHA tried to mandate masks and shots. It was ridiculous to watch the disparity in responses and fear.

MSHA sites are dangerous yet are safe. The OSHA approach was incorrect.

For the pedantic record, "regulatory capture" typically refers to a situation where an entity responsible for regulating another entity is controlled or influenced by the body it is meant to regulate. Like if the SEC was influenced by Goldman Sachs, or something, or the FDA was influenced by the pharmaceutical companies it was meant to regulate.

Standards bodies are comprised of its member companies, who negotiate (oftentimes quite hard!) with one another over what IP ends up in the standards. They're non-governmental trade organizations (though I suppose with ISO it gets semi-governmental).

Disclosure: I work at Dolby but do not have anything to do with standards. I dabbled in standards bodies at a previous startup but am really not qualified to weigh in on any of this, besides the stray pedantry around language.

> As with most touchy subjects, I find the best path forward is to openly discuss without shutting down voices.

I try to follow this myself, but I do find myself giving exceptions to specific touchy subjects. For example, I don't understand how to approach a touchy subject where open discussion actually drives away people and therefore makes it an echo chamber.

For example if a gay person left a community because people were openly discussing whether or not gay people are pedophiles and advocating for the castration and torture of gay people, and that the advocating for castration and torture of gay people wasn't being shut down, I honestly think that's a totally reasonable behavior on behalf of the gay person. And I honestly would disagree that this created anything even remotely resembling a "forward path" direction.

But, in abstract, I still believe we should openly discuss touchy subject matters. I just find myself constantly running into actual application where I disagree that openly discussing a specific matter actually benefitted anyone, and found myself agreeing that the community would be healthier if specific topics of conversation were shut down.
But that's just it - the silent re-ranking of stories, algorithmic or editorial, can also flip elections. Not just elections, it can entirely change the direction a culture is headed.

And it causes no backlash - you wouldn't even know it was happening, unless you laboriously compared statistics with how much exposure stories (not just news stories, films and books shape our perception of the world just as much) get, for the few sufficiently objective categories where a meaningful comparison can be made.
>If population growth will strain scarce housing resources, why not just cut immigration? It seems like a knob you can turn to make things balance?

Many consider any limit on immigration a human rights abuse. Others who pretend they consider immigration restrictions a human rights abuse want to keep importing cheap labor to drive down wages.
