> I don't believe changing how we talk will help trans people suffer less.

Why don't you believe trans people when they ask you to do this? Apparently you think that you know better than trans people themselves, what will make them suffer. Just for the record (because you asked above): This is exactly what I consider problematic.
Saying "only women give birth" is not the same as saying "if you can't give birth you aren't a woman".
Are there applications?
assignment does not always happen before birth.

There are lots of kids born with ambiguous & differing genitals where parents & doctors make an assignment for that kid outside the womb.

also ignores a lot of different chromosomal and hormonal differences outside the norm.
What an amazing anecdote. 2038 will likely be very crazy.
Is this in the ps1 version, the pc port, or are we talking the remake or something else?
I had the privilege of being a contributor to this project.

(Hi Yaw!)
This is so silly. You hear about how entropy always increases.. and you response is to make it increase faster? All to spite a theoretical simulation creator? Sorry, but I don't want to kill the universe, that I live in mind you, out of spite.
Isn’t IPFS a terrible technology to host copyrighted material on? As far as I know, it has no privacy features, so you can see exactly who is hosting which content.
That doesn't make that much sense. The US isn't sending Ukraine their advanced weapons, only old and/or moderately simple equipment. HIMARS is the only interesting one so far and they've given short range rockets.

I think for the Western military it's the intelligence about the state of the Russian forces that has been invaluable. But they know now, so it's not of much ongoing use.
> Otherwise you're essentially asking to dumb it down for you.

I wonder if you are exempt from the judgment you put on others.

While I agree that one can obtain a deeper understanding of a culture by exploring it thoroughly, your suggestion that any translation is "dumbing it down" is as absurd as your first argument, and an insult to every teacher.

This purity argument is destructive, as it reflects a powerfully deep elitism that is so exclusive, it appears to be an obvious volley against truth. I also wonder if you are capable of that kind of deep cynicism, or are just blathering.

(In anticipation, one easy argument against this purity is that people who speak English, live in America, went to college in America, got degrees in America ... STILL do not understand incredibly large parts of American culture until it is explained to them in their mode and register, and not even then in many cases. As my citations I'll simply point to our elections. So, yes, one can obtain deeper knowledge by full immersion--which is the point of deeper intellectual understanding--but ultimately that is an approximation, and even full assimilation does not bring enlightenment. Unless you are the thing, you are speaking through translation suited to your cultural comprehension.)
How the humanities lost their prestige
In the longer term Mars should probably have its own time scale. When we get to further colonization maybe we can use TAI for interplanetary use (but time dilation due to relativity effects is going to be a problem when going to other stars) while still using UTC on Earth.
No.

Vim is a text editor.

Emacs is a lisp interpreter whose dialect of lisp is specialized for text manipulation. In emacs the user interface is incidental to the main goal of programmatic text manipulation.

In vim the user interface is the be all and end all. Which is why vim is now a specialized emacs mode when you need character based text manipulation.
Thank you. I've made this comment three times now on the this thread.

Why is it that those making the most 'biological fact' arguments ignore actual biology.

ffs
I think society at large can and should be much more inclusive to people who don't fall cleanly into man and woman, but in the specific case of pregnancy, it seems trying remove all references to gender is challenging.
Ahh a "reference implementation" connoisseur
> They do however take issues with trans men existing and being acknowledged as such.

sigh

The arguments like “they are denying trans people exist!” and “this is causing violence!” are so over the top and tired.

No one is denying trans people exist. We simply think that instead of changing the way we use language to fit <1% of the population, maybe when a trans person goes to the Doctor they can simply say: “I was born a (wo)man”
I very much disagree but think this is an opinion worthy of discussion, so have upvoted to counter the downvotes.
I like the new UI. As with all major UI changes there will be some backlash. People become set in their ways of old UI/UX, accustomed to the training and ease of use. Users will have to adapt. And that takes effort. People hate forced effort.

I am very happy now that the android UI matches the web. I have been waiting for this for sometime, and the disconnect prior was disorienting.
> Who would be paying it?

The guy claims he offered to pay ransom, but his captors didn't accept it.
> I have not considered it on the context of time/ephemeral

Hmm... having looked up the definition of ephemeral, I don't think I meant ephemeral. I meant based more on the social aspects or a feeling of gender

> I usually think of it as mutable

I have increasingly come to think of it multi-dimensional (e.g. one can have physical sex, feelings of gender, norm conformity, political gender, etc, etc) all existing independently of one another. Whether those are mutable (and who has the power to mutate them) depends on the dimension.
This would imply that the confidence interval around the coefficient in a logistic regression is not a very useful concept, which I don't think is true.
I always wondered why platforms try to uphold the illusion that they are fair. Why not just say, "There are no rules. There is no fairness. If we think you make our site better you are welcome, if you don't we may or may not ban you if we feel like it. No we won't explain ourselves, because we have no rules, we do whatever we want. Don't piss us of, especially not before we have had our morning coffee."

Then you would, forgo all the arguments, the arm chair lawyering, all the whataboutism, and trolls wouldn't have rules to push up against. No one could ever "technically not break any rules" by being an ass.

When companies try to act like a law institution, they get all the politics of making and enforcing laws dropped in their lap.
Interesting things here:
- the date of the invention of the toaster was off by more than an a century
- at no point did anyone follow up any of the references and see that they were wrong
- at no point did anyone who was interested in toaster history comment on the article to say it was wrong

So weird.
Thank you. I will look into it.
People with a lower IQ do menial jobs because it is all they can do, people with a higher IQ might do a menial job because that's what they want to do. Not everyone is motivated by wealth. In fact, the highest IQ's tend to belong to people who do not play well with others. Maybe leaning on a broom is just the ticket needed to happiness.
> I am deeply uncomfortable in gendered spaces.

I'm not trans or any of that sort - I'm generally uncomfortable around people. What I don't understand is, why impose upon others? To me, that's my cross to bear.
Most impactful, in order:

1. Was the intern that coded the mechanism to open/close the LIDAR cover on the Mars Phoenix Lander, so it runs on another planet. I also did circuit work, and other tasks for the CSA’s contribution to that mission. That was also the internship where I (re)met my wife.

2. Was on the Android team that brought video to Instagram back in 2013. We brought gyro stabilization to the iPhone, couldn’t quite get it running reliably on Android via the NDK, but I damned well tried.

3. Wrote the first Android app for Instacart.

4. Currently rolling out our new software platform to handle $15B/year revenue for Anheuser-Busch’s supply chain. We have 1000+ companies relying on us to ensure they can order and fulfill products.

Unsure what’s next, but it’ll likely be high impact and fun too.
That's okay. If they get usurped then they get usurped by more tech. That doesn't change the trajectory of software become more and more essential in every moment of our lives.
I'm in the process of switching from forwardmail to mxroute. It's $45/yr for unlimited domains and email accounts, 10gb storage.

Have not tested it yet, but it looks good. Their customer service is salty though. Definitely a service geared towards people who already know what they are doing, so ah... wish me luck!

Along the way I did evaluate Cloudflare email routing and it's great, for what it does (no opinion on whether your emails will end up in spam though, I guess we'll find out as more people use it). For personal email on a custom domain through a gmail account, I set everything up in 15 minutes. You end up using the gmail smtp server. Presumably you can use any provider with smtp if you don't like gmail. However... No pop/imap which was a deal breaker for me and why I'm moving on from forwardmail in the first place, hence moving to Mxroute.

I also tested Zoho mail. Not great, not awful. Very confusing UI.
Since Russia is red meat here, what would you say if China put SLBMS in Mexico?
I've got some bad news about our culture, people regularly police each other based on clothing.

I think it's a bad practice. If I want to wear a skirt and call myself a man or a woman wants to wear pants, who the fuck cares.

(Traditionalists care, a lot, as it turns out.)

I say let people decide what they want to wear and not make any assumptions about how to label them.
Pretty sure you are wrong. They're actually using 3 hex digits (the first color is #817.) The 12 colors are selected from a 12-bit space (#000 through #fff.) Makes sense to me.
Neither exists in a vacuum. Technology changes culture and culture shapes the use of technology. Nevertheless, anytime you have people highly incentivized to use data, and the data exists, it will be used.

And in fact our use of technology definitely contributed to this, even when it seemed very innocuous. Logging is invaluable for testing and troubleshooting, forum posts, DMs, login data, and tweets obviously have more value as things that are non-ephemeral...but what you do by logging everything, what you do by having an Internet where things are by default non-ephemeral is change exactly this societal expectation.

Going back to the helicopter example in this thread, would we argue that the government shouldn't be allowed to look at the aerial view on maps.google.com? The very existence of this service changed what people understood as private.
Have you come to the same conclusion for parenthood? Are adopted children not real, and we must not refer to their adoptive parents as "parents"? You understand why that is hateful, right?

Biology may be a fact, but we can, and do, choose to value the link between parent and child socially as the most important part, not the biological link.

We can do the same with gender, referencing identity over biology in the general case. Why have you come to the opposite conclusion?
I'm not sure that this is possible anymore, given the regulatory context. At least in the US, "big tech bad" is a somewhat popular observation on both the left and right, though for different reasons. I'm not sure that something like Facebook purchasing Instagram would fly today.
I’m not trying to make any claims about the broader issue or cherry-pick here, but a lot of experts do not include Klinefelter syndrome so I think that’s worth at least noting. Moreover I think pointing out that 95% of the people in question clearly have cells to produce a single type of gamete and are often fertile is instructive.

My only point in responding is to add useful scientific/medical context. People can make what they want of that information.

Fundamentally I agree with what you seem to be getting at, taxonomy is hard.
It's not even accommodation to small minorities, it's accommodation to an ideology. Activists push this conflation to make it appear about minorities and not their ideology. They present it as though minorities all have the same opinion and then weaponize your compassion to get compliance.

"Oh, this is what minorities want. Ok, I'm a good person, I want to respect their wishes."

What you may not realize is that many gay and trans people strongly disagree with gender ideology and do not want this.

Indeed, they don't all have the same opinion!

The loud, aggressive, too online activists do not speak for everyone.
you can also disable sharing your progress with others (only on website, not in the app, very well hidden option) to disable those stressing leagues every week, some people like it to force them to keep up and not deep out of league, some people don't, I wonder if they removed this choice as well (I disabled sharing/leagues, so dunno)
I agree this is a problem, and we're actively working to fix it.

Specifically, there's a ticket in progress to improve how bot mitigation handles requests for certain types of static content (including RSS feeds).
A lot of migration is fuelled by Musk firing XX% of Twitter's workforce, and several competent people (former SREs at big tech corps, systems engineers) posting threads that predict huge technical issues in the near future.

Some also just leave because they don't like Musk, sure. Personally I'm happy to have an alternative that's somewhat decentralized, where I can pack up and move while keeping my whole network if I don't like how such or such sysadmin behaves.
A friend will tell you you're an asshole. Paid help might, but only after being paid.

Makes sense, since that's where the 2014 Ukrainian coup originated too ;)
Wow, 2 posts in and we may have a winner already! That’s really, really bad. I have a friend (well, not anymore) who worked for Palantir for a long time and was very proud of it, and I was gonna ask him if he regrets anything, but this is a whole other level.
Prediction markets liquidity is tiny, thus their predictions have very little "skin in the game".

This was made very clear during a couple of big world events (stuff like major elections, ...), where I was watching simultaneously financial markets, dedicated event betting markets and prediction markets. Conclusion was that financial markets is where the real super-forecasters work.
>I'm a writer and I'm really good at punctuation and spelling, do I really need to learn how to write a good story?

Vim is a text editor, emacs is a text manipulator. If you never want to do more than copy a rectangle of text from region a to region b then you don't need more than vim. If you want to write tools that fit your workflow you need to know elisp.
Sorry, three digits I mean.

> The number of colors defines the color depth.

Yes, and they have selected these 12 colours out of a range of 4096 colours, so from a range with a colour-depth of 12-bits.

If they picked from the millions of colours expressible in CSV it'd be 24-bit colour-depth. But they didn't - they picked from a subset of 12-bit depth.

> so 12 colors is less than 4-bit and not 12-bit

From a range of 12-bit colours, is what they mean. From a range. Get it? I think you're confused that there are 12 colours, and it's from a range of 12-bit colours. The two things are unrelated.

> I am satisfied that the author has misunderstood the meaning of color depth

Don't know what else to say really - sorry you don't understand. See the every other comment in this thread saying exactly the same thing as me if you aren't sure.
only woman means no men give birth.

it does not imply there are no woman who can't give birth.
There are strong incentives to tolerare bad moderation. Given the choice between cutting off their users' friends and letting something slide moderators will often let things slide. This bears out in practice: There's a socially centralized network of sites that all federate with each other, and some loons and Nazis on the periphery.

The effect is similar to if a centralized service randomly chose which of a few tens of moderation policies to apply every time they get a report. That's a big disadvantage. You lose because you see content that pushes past what your chosen moderator would prefer, and you don't see content that your chosen moderator would allow.

If Mastodon provided something nice in return I'd consider it, but they consider that disadvantage as their main advantage.
I am OK with being vulnerable but you can't explain certain things to ignorant recruiters, middle managers or CEOs. You can explain things to them but they will have an idealized uninformed idea in their head and compare what you said that to that. A good example is recruiters demanding 10 years of Solidity when Ethereum was launched in 2015. If you tell them that, they will get butthurt because you contradicted them or showed that they are uninformed about a topic, but if you just claim you have 10 years of experience, they will be happy in their bubble and hire you.

Of course, this is a different ball game when you are discussing with someone who also has programming / technical skills, for example, project managers with programming skills. You can explain certain decisions, troubles, and imperfections to them and they will get it. But someone who has no experience in the field will just make a negative assumption and run with it.
Judea Pearl's 1996 Lecture on Causality: The Art and Science of Cause and Effect
I haven't seen one commenter here concerned with copyright violation or piracy. You're ok with that? Have you never created content of your own, made of your own blood, sweat and tears, and then had it pirated and given away free? Do you condone this? Is this not thievery in your eyes?
> The background knowledge that is required to do that is not really related to the outside world, unless you're a Westerner.

The "background knowledge" is an odd term to use, since it's neither knowledge nor a background to anything, but anyways, the "background knowldge" ins't even useful to westerners. It's not in and of itself useful at all, and that is sort of the point. Most IQ tests are simple pattern recognition and deduction tests, because pasterns are simple and universal.

> IQ is a measure of how well you do IQ tests

We completely agree. They aren't intended to test anything except give you a score quantifying how well you do on IQ tests. On their own they are completely useless and irrelevant. Like a Scale that doesn't state any units, you might weight yourself and go "oh, I weigh 12.3 somethings" and that's not really relevant to anything.
The usefulness of IQ comes entirely from the fact that we can correlate the score with other things. Just like the kilogram as a unit used in quantifying mass is useful because suddenly we can use it to correlate your score on the scale with risk of getting diabetes and other things.

IQ-score isn't a measure of knowledge, it isn't a measure of smartness, and it won't even correlate perfectly with how people would arrange people based on a perceived intelligence (though here id does get close). An IQ-score is just a score of how well you do in IQ-tests. But since there is a great deal of correlations we can draw from those correlations it's an extremely useful score. But of cause it comes under attack constantly by people who fell they are smarter than what the score suggests they are, and they might very well be smarter, maybe they are just not good at pattern recognition and deduction, that doesn't mean you're dumb. Just like weighing above a certain limit might mean you statistically have a larger change of having diabetes doesn't mean you automatically have it.
But it's literally dumb when these people go out and try to argue that weighing things with scales doesn't work because they got diagnosed with diabetes even though the scale says their below the at risk group.
I don't think the sulfur containing 2,4-dithiapentane that is used in simulated "truffle" even smells like gasoline regardless of its similar origin, gasoline smells like other alkanes in the lab (hexanes, etc), not really sure how to describe it but not like sulfur containing compounds. I still don't like the truffle flavoring compound in my food, its overpowering to me, but if you like it go for it!

Synthetic vanillin is delicious.
It was disturbing watching people call for all out anhilation of Russia with nuclear war over those two deaths and then absolutely silence when Biden and Stoltzberg made their remarks. I take it you don't watch TV much either.
> When I tried mastodon it completely failed to provide the basis functionality I expect. I think that's because it's technically decentralized, but they've then built a centralized service through social coordination on top of that. And that's the worst of both worlds.

What's centralized on Mastodon? It's just a bunch of autonomous server instances whose users can contact users on other servers.
Err, playing that card in this context looks a bit disconnected to me.

Does this suggest a bit of unknowns in Nix and Nix OS?
GovTrack.us's Reading List
I literally said I don't impose it on others. Others make attempts to accommodate me and I feel more included as a result.

If your workplace said, "we've got some private rooms to work if it would make you more comfortable, it'd be something you positively regard and would make you feel more included, right?
I think moderation should be modeled by following / subscribing to different censors (taggers / flaggers). Then you can mix and match as you see fit.

For example:

- Blacklist using censor X for nsfw content with anything above level 3.

- Blacklist using censor Y for political content to filter any ad hominem

- Blacklist using censor Z on scientific studies and information to filter anything with small sample size or that’s politicized

Obviously rather complicated, but this is what I want. A censor doesn’t have to be an org, it could be a person or a network of people you trust / follow.

Yes bubbles will form. That’s fine, that’s our right to join and filter on a bubble. Each bubble will exhibit different behaviors, and much like nature the fittest will rise and “survive”.
