Having read the article and the comments here, I feel like we're missing the main point.

The point of the article wasn't actually about smoking. At least that's not what I took from it.

I also don't think the author is genuinely claiming there's a conspiracy here.

Instead, what I took from it, is that being a scientist does not mean you're immune to prejudicial opinion, and that the scientific community is not immune to its own dogmas.

In theory, the scientific method should resolve that. But in practice, scientists (including the medical community) are just as apt as anyone to want to confirm their biases and dismiss difficult evidence.

I also think when it comes to anything involving public policy, things can quickly devolve to no longer being about scientific inquiry but rather about supporting or attacking positions.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the author just wants everyone to start smoking and stop listening to their doctors. But that's not how it came across to me.

I think it's more a call for critical thinking and fairness. Just because an issue has been politicized, doesn't mean we should pick a side.

For what it's worth, I'm opposed to smoking and and supportive of vaccines. But if the day comes where there is strong evidence to suggest switching positions on that, I'd like to think I'll be open minded enough to do so.

Final point, briefly touched on in the article: Nicotine deserves more research. Almost all research on nicotine is in terms of smoking tobacco. Nicotine on its own could very well prove to be an important medical drug.

Same for all drugs... THC, CBD, whatever the active substance in cocaine and heroin are. They should all be studies rigorously and without moral judgment.

> Prison time barely acts as a deterrent.

What? Why aren't career criminals more brazen in their acts, if not for fear of punishment (which means: prison)?

I totally get the point that you can't just increase the prison sentence and expect the deterrence to scale, but suggesting that punishment "barely acts as a deterrent" sounds insane, especially when we're talking about calculating criminals like Hertz executives. It's not like they have the uncontrollable urge to make false police reports because of some weird psychological defect.
Gotta love reality. Always messing with the humans that need things to be a certain way.
I got to real ID like 2 years ago, and I had to argue with the DMV guy. He discouraged me from getting it, saying it was unnecessary and I should use a passport instead.

I actually had to argue with him and give him reasons why I wanted it before he would allow me to get it.
> the incorrect claim that “back then Big Tech’s fact-checkers were still describing claims about SARS-CoV-2 being airborne and face masks preventing infection as ‘misleading’”.

This is a not an incorrect claim, it is a correct claim.
You can do this in the OpenAI Playground, chunk by chunk:

1. Start with list of URLs
2. Summarize each URL.
3. Append commentary to the summarizations,
use "for each compare and contrast with the others" structure
4. Summarize all that
5. Generate result with summary on top,
then the summarizations with compares/contrasts
6. "Write conclusion"

Now read the result, see if that's what you meant.

If so, have someone write that in Python for you.

> The point I disagree with (and I think the original post is making) is just because an unpopular group (WSB) is interested in something, doesn’t discredit it.

If that groups has consistently been wrong about everything for two years, then it absolutely does. It's like Jim Cramer: If he states something, there is at least a 90% chance that the opposite will happen.
Well at this point AFAIK it's a legal requirement that they do it. To fully cancel it would require action by congress to remove the program all together, I'm willing to bet (but not willing to find the language) that DHS can extend implementation but not cancel it.
> They sold their credibility for a mess of money and political activism

Can you provide any additional details, references, and/or specific examples?

I haven't used snopes in a long while, but was impressed at the time, particularly that they always sited references, exploring both sides of an issue. I always came away feeling better informed. But I'm open to changing my opinion if there is justification to do so.

What I meant was this. What was described was an unofficial, non-state, conspiracy by Jewish partisans to right a wrong or take revenge, in their eyes. It was apparently somewhere between a flop and a fantasy.

Meanwhile, the Jewish STATE took action, resulting in a two-decade development program, where, IRONICALLY, they became more powerful militarily than the German state.

IRONICALLY. NOTHING was meant to be construed as hostility or potential retribution by Israel against Germany.

I had thought people would have come to these conclusions automatically, but now I realize I have to be more explicit in explaining these comments.
Since they are making big moves toward US expansion, one small improvement would be to change the prices on the pricing page to show Dollars instead of Euros, either with a toggle or if my IP is in North America. It's more work for the customer to do price comparison with comparable cloud providers.
Thanks for sharing this. It's stuff like this that really makes the web feel mysterious and magical.
Air Marshals may be (are) useless at best, but I'm sympathetic to resisting an employer's attempt to radically alter one's job. Sign up for one thing, get told to do something very different that upends your life and may not be anything you're interested in or feel comfortable (for a variety of possible reasons) doing, yeah, that's bullshit.

The primary reason to lock people up is punishment. It's crime and punishment, not crime and deterrence, or crime and reform, or crime and efficient use of taxpayers' money.

Part of the homework crisis solution is never try to counter AI. It should be used in the system's favor: Allow students to use AI but make them submit the prompt they used.

Let's take that to it's obvious conclusion. The user is running a kernel update. The user wants to run minecraft. The system cannot run a kernel update and run minecraft. The system actively prevents them from starting other apps while doing a kernel update! Therefore the user is ruled by their Operating System! How dare Linux Torvalds!

You should think about what users want, not just what YOU want. Most users want security and convenience. They therefore WANT auto-updates and they are entirely OKAY with making the tradeoff that entails. YOU may not like it, but you don't get to stop things from working a certain way because you disagree with the average user.

TL;DR: Your own argument defeats itself. Computers are a tool, and users are choosing the best tool for the job. End of story.
Good question. I tested it manually with a few articles I could find. If you find a web page too large for ChatGPT then let me know, I can split it into multiple batches and ask ChatGPT to summarize once I'm done.
No it just means you have to get to the airport earlier and you have to wait longer. They get paid the same amount either way and if you miss your plane, the airline still gets their money. It hurts absolutely no one but yourself.

That might work for Teller, but clearly not for the other trick inventors in the article who are no longer developing tricks.
I view the article as aspirational, and a lot of the comments here seem to fetishize a trinity of time and certitude and causality.

I appreciate attempts to explore diagramming, and so I appreciate the article. I am also informed by past exposure to Markov chains.

I am aware of Prigogine, and so I accept that reasoning about a dynamic system relies on its dynamic state. A simple example would be:

opening the gates causes water to be released from the dam

But that's predicated on there being water captured behind the dam. Which requires rainfall. It also requires a dam.

A different example would be:

adding additional propellant makes it go faster

This is reasonably straightforward construction for a projectile, less so for a jet engine or a piston engine which dynamically reaches the functional state which we wish to reason about.

As for LSD, how did the author miss Tim Leary? Referring to a Leary personality diagnosis radar chart I can't find an obvious mapping in the dynamic of post vs comments. Best WAG is that neither is expressing dominance (both are seeking order and guidance), with the article more in the region of acceptance and the comments more in the range of suspicion and hostility.
Do you have any citations? I saw both of those claims being discussed heavily on Twitter and Facebook during that time without those disclaimers so if there was some campaign it appears to have been pretty limited.
You could pose the same question about humans. People are already posting incorrect information all over the internet and consuming that information. In fact this problem predates the internet, people have been writing and disseminating incorrect information for thousands of years.

Educated people are trained to be skeptical of what they read and try to discriminate between correct and incorrect information. We're not always perfect at it, but on the whole smart people are usually decent at the task. Presumably the same thing will need to happen for AI, where in order for it to succeed it will have to become better at understanding what information is trustworthy and high quality and what information is less trustworthy.
It’s not silly at all. It doesn’t have to be an intentional cover-up. But the lack of creativity and making a huge profit off of the vaccine is a reality. The only reason the Covid vaccines were given emergency use authorization was because there was no other treatments available. If nicotine was a treatment for Covid, they would not have gotten emergency use authorization.
You can still get them at retail price but you have to put a mild amount of work into it.

Do you really know though? McDonalds has lied in the past quite a bit. For example, they touted their hamburger meat as 100% beef with no additives for quite awhile, then had to fess up when the truth about Pink Slime came out.

Then when they tried to climb on the vegan/vegetarian bandwagon, they had to quickly admit that their fry shortening had beef flavoring added to it, then switch to an entirely different shortening.
Of course they should. If a cop makes a dumb move and the city gets sued then mayor should not be held accountable. However, if the mayor ignores police corruption, then I would love them to serve a prison sentence. They have the power, they must use it.

President should be responsible for things he can change, in US a president doesn't really have power to change everything as there are other parts of the government which are involved in decision making.

Any person in a position of power who can CHANGE policies or remove people and doesn't do so, which leads to further incidents and corruption that affect the population should be held accountable.

This will never happen, as powerful people don't want this.
Does anyone have any resources on making an offline-first app from scratch (I don't want to use stuff like Firebase and more importantly want to learn how it's done)? Like a task manager for example that can sync with an online account but still works completely offline.

> Mandatory helmet laws make the number of injuries associated with biking go down. That is their purpose, and they are effective.

There's significant problems with most of the studies showing the effectiveness of bike helmets (especially the Thompson and Rivara study) and there's also the issue that they can conceivably cause greater brain damage die to rotational forces (by increasing the diameter of the head). Some issues are discussed here https://crag.asn.au/5-ways-wearing-a-bicycle-helmet-can-resu...

Also, there's the Dr Ian Walker study (although very small) that shows a greater number of close passes from drivers when the cyclist wears a helmet. Risk compensation may also be at play, so that cyclists take more chances when wearing a helmet (I recall a study showing that effect was particularly pronounced in kids).

Unfortunately, most helmet studies use hospital admissions which is going to bias the results unless hospital admissions are a close match with the cyclist population.

It's of note that cycle helmets are safety tested by typically a 2m drop onto a flat surface - this equates to providing a level of protection at slow speeds up to approx 12mph, but they are most certainly not tested to withstand the forces involved when there's a RTC. The question then is why are they being prescribed for situations far beyond their designs?

Americans seem a bit weird about food safety, but also American food seems incredibly unsafe.

I remember an American colleague of mine absolutely freaking out that I was slicing up chicken without wearing gloves, and he was convinced that I'd be dead by morning from some hideous chicken-borne disease because of it. Apparently chicken in the US really is that dangerous, or something, but I guess someone from the US can comment?
No way that's true. Wonder if they're getting selection bias, ex. the 90% of the people who are willing to take an unsolicited survey on their land line phone.

> Smoking cover up? Goodness. Let’s assume you’re right and smoking prevents Covid. The answer would be to get everyone to start smoking?

The answer isn't to lie to people for their own good, and there was a lot of that going on with regard to Covid.
Was this "financial instrument" designed by the same people that designed credit default swaps. All it does is kick the risk down the road not even mitigate it, just disguises the fact that it isn't "risk-free lending".

"It is useful for risk-free lending, as the swapped amounts are used as collateral for repayment"

That isn't really in the same class as the Pi though, it seems the various models use somewhere in the range of 1-6watt max.
But then a bot would say that.

as an ex-smoker I shielded myself more from COVID than I might otherwise have because I considered myself a risk category. Perhaps this might be the sort of thing which contributes to the difference.

Infrastructure is a huge problem if you live in a dense population center, but a manageable one if you don't live in a big city.

Electricity isn't a requirement for survival; we lived without it only a century ago. My folks in New England can pretty much live indefinitely with a wood stove, a groundwater well, and local agriculture. It might be a rough time figuring out how to feed everyone. It would certainly be a brutal existence, and a lot of people wouldn't make it, but the world would go on.
You may listen more than you think. Also counted is in-store (and in-restaurant) listening. That's the main reason why so many stations go with all-Christmas music formats.

> It's a program that employs people who have caused more incidents of crime than they have intervened to prevent.

Whether that's problematic depends on a lot of things, including whether arresting people is actually the main benefit of them being present.

I have a few dogs. They bark at people walking by on the sidewalk a lot. I've never had someone break into my house. Are the dogs useless as a mechanism to prevent home invasion or burglary, or does knowledge of their presence prevent people from even attempting such? Now consider that I haven't noted whether those crimes are common in my area or not.

Maybe those dogs have growled at guests in my house, making them feel uncomfortable. Should my stance be that they've growled at more guests than intruders they've attacked? Do you feel comfortable making a definitive statement on the value of those dogs and whether the costs outweigh the benefits with the given information, or do you think additional information would be important to discerning that?

Belated followup. I reread the bits which reference and quote Adam Smith. (Revised edition.) Because maybe I'm being clueless.

Sorry, I'm just not seeing it.

FWIW, I wouldn't expect Smith to have access to reports from the New World, or even the inclination to connect the dots (play anthropolgist). So maybe you think Graeber is too harsh there. But I certainly expect Adam's academic successors to adjust as necessary.

Also FWIW, I wouldn't care so much about barter-money genesis fables, recognizing that pop-science lags academic best avail science by decades or more, were it not for the outsized influence that economic spokesmodels have on real world policy.

With that kind of assumed power, relished and hoarded, the pundits have that much more responsibility to be intellectually honest. In my future perfect world, of course.

You don't have to explain more, beating a dead horse. But I am keen to know which explanations -- what is money? where did money come from? -- you favor.
You could theme some window manager, but it's not the same. It'd be a tough project! The Mac UI was holistic. Early on, it didn't even make much of a distinction between application and operating system. Just getting the menu bar right (shared between OS and application) when every program has its own idea on how to present a menu would be a major challenge. Applications really do need to be designed for the classic Mac environment. Back in the day software was almost never ported directly, but had to be substantially redesigned for the Mac.
It's right there in the code.

Is this just like nearly every other AI paper like this where the black box actually learned how to distinguish metadata instead? How were the files named, were the female and male pictures collected using two different instruments that would have different noise distributions etc. 9 times out of 10 this kind of paper just turns out to be "We didn't properly normalize our data and reality slipped through", not anything actually meaningful.
