> Indeed. For example this discussion started when I actually said that journalists and police officers took Epstein Island seriously, in response to another commenter suggesting people would have just dismissed Epstein Island as a conspiracy theory.

Was yours a suggestion that that journalists and police officers took Epstein Island "seriously" (a highly ambiguous term, a perfect fit for current cultural norms), or was it more of a claim of fact?

> There is a problem in human communication (or human-bot communication) when one party refuses to acknowledge that the seriousness of some policemen and journalists might be well-evidenced by the phenomenon of many newspaper reports detailing Jeffrey Epstein's arrest and prosecution...

This ("one party refuses to acknowledge") implies that it is a fact that these articles are objectively ~"very well done" (could not have been substantially better, etc).

> ...and instead of accepting or at least offering an alternative interpretation of the phenomenon[1]...

My complaint is that humans perceive and represent opinions as facts. My proposal is that we stop doing this, or at least admit as individuals and a culture that this is how things currently work.

What is actually true here is not known, hence I do not make an assertion of facts of what happened (with respect to the underlying crime).

This approach is celebrated when done by science, but in other domains it seems to be considered the opposite of the correct way to behave.

> ...rejects it on the basis they don't have "knowledge of all the activities of all those people"...

Despite me addressing exactly this claim at least once already, you continue to misrepresent what I have actually said: I haven't rejected investigations as being necessarily false, but rather your claims that you possess knowledge (as opposed to belief) about the actions and quality of reporting.

> ... and giggling to themselves about how normies' claims rely on omniscience.

I don't find it funny, it scares the fuck out of me.

> This problem is typically resolved by ceasing the communication.

It stops the instance of the problem, but the underlying problem (people refusing to consider the importance of truth) does not go away.

Can you (or anyone) give any data about prednisone here? First I've heard of it.
The real reason why the powers that be oppose workplace democracy is because then the well-being of the people that work at the company will be prioritized over making profits for the shareholders.

> Maybe employees will make intelligent informed decisions about who is actually capable as an executive. Maybe they will make more effective decisions themselves if they have a greater say and commitment to the company.

Yes, intelligent decisions. Such a red herring. For what is an “intelligent decision” in the market economy? Maximizing profits. So either the workers work within the bourgeoisie logic of maximizing profits—creating the same problems for themselves as they had under command economy rule—or they make “unintelligent decisions” by proritizing their collective selves. With the former they “fail the test” of this red herring scenario because intelligent decisions according to the workers are not the same as intelligent decisions according to the bourgeoisie.
I live in the UK. I can send money instantly anywhere in the EU for nothing via SEPA and frequently do. That covers 28 countries. If I do want to send money to someone in another country I can use paypal, or for larger sums, one of the myriad international wire services that are regulated by the FCA and where I have recourse if something goes wrong.
That sounds normal to me.

I don't know who Andy Ngo is, and I don't care, but if we're talking about misleading cuts, let's talk about the ENTIRETY of the mass media making out like Trump said Nazis were "fine people." All it took was 2 minutes of looking at the transcript when the furor broke out to understand that's NOT what he said, but half the country still believes he somehow came out in direct support of them. And this is precisely the back and forth I was alluding to when I say that there is literally no overlap on what is considered truth any more.
It is similarly expensive in various other countries where it isn't always covered, and meanwhile is also covered in some states in the US.

You completely misunderstood my point.
You shouldn't be appalled: grants that force you to work on a precise area with no flexibility are what's appalling. Research just doesn't work like that! The current grant proposal process is the creation of administrators and politicians, not scientists.

Many of the most critical research results came out of some random hallway conversation, as a response to some new result that didn't exist when the research plan was formulated, or because someone had a brain fart. If at each point someone had put up their hand and said "sorry, scientist, that's not on your current grant roadmap" we'd probably still be dying of preventable diseases and lighting our homes with gas fixtures.

Government setting prices like that is a terrible idea. The solution to this problem is competition. The only regulation needed are laws that stop Apple from preventing competition. If there were alternative app stores, free market forces will naturally prevent Apple from doing stuff like this. They'll be free to charge whatever they want, but customers and developers will also be free to go with a competitor instead of them.

Sure, Apple and their fanboys are going to say stuff like "it will be bad for privacy" and "Apple needs to control everything to protect us from malware", etc. Pretty much the exact same type of arguments AT&T was making before they got broken up in the ~80s. If that didn't happen, we probably wouldn't have gotten the internet as quickly as we did (or at all). That's a pretty clear example of how monopolies stifle competition, and how breaking them up can be lead to incredible innovation.

Hell, I don't think we even need new laws. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure what Apple is doing is already illegal, since it's so obviously anti-competitive and detrimental to society/the economy. Even investors will probably be better off in the long run if all these tech giants have their monopolies broken up, since the new opportunities in the market will undoubtedly result in new innovations and better investment opportunities.

Also, I need to say this otherwise the conversation will get predictably derailed:

* Apple is bad

* Google is bad too

* Microsoft is bad too

* Amazon is bad too

* Meta is bad too

* <insert tech company here> is bad too

That's just it. The internet was never free. There has pretty much always been some method that people have been making money off of creating content for it, in some format or another. Whether it be basic ads, affiliate links, sponsorship spots, or web stores; the internet has always been paid for somehow in some way. And that's before we discuss things like ISP's providing that connection to it in the first place.

People who think the internet is or should be free, are disconnected from reality. I grew up with what we called farmer vision, but others would know it as rabbit ear or aerial tv. You had 3 to maybe 5 basic channels in your area if you were lucky; and they were all paid for by ads... er... commercials. The idea was that the content was technically free, since you didn't really need to watch the commercials. (You could just go to the bathroom, make a snack, get a drink, etc.) But the paid advertisement was paying for that broadcast, and so you ultimately had to put up with your shows being interrupted.

YouTube does nothing different, really. Yet look at all the flak they get for their usage of the same methodology.

The internet was never free, has never been free, and never will be free. You will always be paying for it somehow; whether it be out of pocket, via attention, or your data. TV was no different, up to the data part; and set-top boxes changed that too. Once those could phone home and report usage, especially to thwart piracy; your data became another potential sales figure for even the tv stations.

I personally would much rather we have an internet culture where we don't mind paying for the things we like, and want to see continue to exist. This would essentially democratize the internet; though it may also induce a segregation of the unwealthy from being able to participate... but those people tend to be children and the poor. Children don't pay for anything, their parents do. And if the poor or their parents don't have enough money to pay for 1-10$ subscriptions on a monthly basis; then they have much more serious things to consider. Like getting a job, or a better paying one. Not their usage of the internet.

Besides, if they already are paying for a basic connection, they shouldn't have much trouble paying for the few things they enjoy to use. Alternatively, they could opt-in to be a data source for free access or something like that. Or see more ads per hour. Keep it more open for everyone.

But that still goes to prove the point. The net is not free. Never has been, never will be. So we would be wise to setup a good culture around it while we still can, before the greediest of us start to make it terrible for everyone, and not just the poor.

I like the concept that Brave browser uses for this reason. It's just too bad that with the way things are going with crypto right now, that it's going to get some bad rep from it likely. Also doesn't help that the devs behind it are... less than stellar. But that's another can of worms aside from this giant one.

Reminds of the work that is https://www.youtube.com/c/t3ssel8r/videos is doing. I'm not in any way related, just interested in their work.
This reminds me of when Google+ launched, and Microsoft coded up a clone over the weekend, just out of spite.

Yes, Google+ failed the social parts, but Microsoft's move did not even do the technical implementation. Similar to how "code up a twitter clone" is basically a codelab, but nobody thinks that it could actually take the twitter workload, even if it had the user demand.

GPT-3 has promise, but the pure nonsense it gives you sometimes has to be fixed first. And… uh… Google can do this too. Google is not exactly lagging in the ML space.

Remember when Bing went live, and went "look, we can handle Google scale queries per second!", and Google basically overnight enabled instant search, probably 10xing their search query rate? (again, out of spite)

tl;dr: When GPT-3 is a viable Google-replacement then Google will use something like it plus Google, and still be better.
Apple is incredibly profitable, but Lenovo, dell, hp combined ship 60% of the laptops worldwide. Customers overwhelmingly choose non-Apple laptops.
> ... Apple doesn't have a separate, "VIP" review process for apps that are from established, known companies.

Why do you say that they don't?
Sure, one answer. Whenever a company owning a "platform" also competes on the platform and sets the rules to favor themselves, this hurts competition. Regulation should ensure a fair playing field on the platform, preventing companies from putting up barriers to competition.

This is why Microsoft lost a lawsuit about bundling Internet Explorer onto the computing platform of Windows, this is why the platform of Google search has results rigged in favor of Google products, etc.

This is also why Net Neutrality is a good idea, the company that controls the "platform" of the Internet being delivered to your device shouldn't get to stifle competition by making some websites cheaper or more expensive to visit.

In this case, phones are a physical platform that should be opened to allow any software to run, and iOS is a software platform that should be opened to allow users to easily install alternative App Stores and easily install alternative applications not offered on the App Store.
I'm not at all worried that particle physics will slow down (...heh) because of this. It sounds like the one guy has been doing an incredible job of service maintenance over the years, sure, but these folks write software all the time.

I have a hunch that FORM is not made up of easy to grok software designs or it would probably be true that other folks would have contributed in a bigger way regardless of academic stimuli. If that is indeed the case, as is common in research-academia software product, then tie a bow on it and send it off to the Smithsonian.

I would be really quite surprised if some enterprising 19 year old whiz-bang genius from Iceland didn't re-write it in Mathematica.
Lower end consumer electronics are fine with chips that aren't the absolute latest. The point isn't that they won't find buyers, but rather that they will earn less money building a fab in a location with much higher labor costs and producing chips that are a bit behind.

My guess is that the decision to build fabs in the U.S. was the result of geopolitical strong-arming by the U.S., but TSMC will still find buyers and that the fab will at least pay for itself.

> You know what baffles me? That Apple doesn't have a separate, "VIP" review process for apps that are from established, known companies.

I'm not sure this is true. I know years ago they had an expedited track you could get on. Once we got on it, we had very quick reviews, re-reviews, and releases. I would read about people waiting weeks while we almost always had 48h turn around. I don't think expedited exists anymore since turn around is always quick now, but I could easily see them routing big names towards a senior review team.
How is the user experience though? "Designed and built by competent engineers" is reassuring in the face of security breaches, but often means it's less convenient to interact with on a day-to-day basis.

The rust project itself also has an extremely aggressive CVE policy (which many find too aggressive): if unsoundness is found in an API it gets a CVE, no matter how convoluted, and how unlikely it is to get into that situation, with absolutely no guarantee of any code in the wild coming even close to the unsoundness.

Essentially, the Rust standard is that more or less every line of the C++ standard is a CVE.

Hell, the Rust project releases CVE for things other languages literally just shrug about e.g. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/01/20/cve-2022-21658.html
