There's this:

> The strong form of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis claims that people from different cultures think differently because of differences in their languages. ... Few sociolinguists would accept such a strong claim, but most accept the weaker claim of linguistic relativity, that language influences perceptions, thought, and, at least potentially, behavior.

And this:

> Linguistic relativity proposals are sometimes characterized as equivalent to linguistic determinism, that is the view that all thought is strictly determined by language. Such characterizations of the language–thought linkage bear little resemblance to the proposals of Sapir or Whorf, who spoke in more general terms about language influencing habitual patterns of thought, especially at the conceptual level. Indeed, no serious scholar working on the linguistic relativity problem as such has subscribed to a strict determinism.

My sense has long been that Sapir-Whorf is "debunked" in the popular consciousness but not among actual linguists, in part because of the confusion of linguistic determinism with linguistic relativity. Pop-sci sources characterize Sapir-Whorf as wholly deterministic, which it isn't and never was.

In the end, I'll trust my own gut on Sapir-Whorf over what the academy comes up with anyway, because there's a strong incentive to "disprove" it because it doesn't align with their current political values. My gut says that for linguistic relativity to not be true, language would have to be unique among all of our environmental stimulae in not influencing our thought patterns, and the odds of something so fundamental to our species being the lone exception are pretty darn slim.

I would invest in oil companies if I were you. There are certainly going to be bottlenecks during the switchover since network capacity can't be increased sufficiently fast enough to accommodate all those BEV's.

The switchover is, however, unstoppable. Even though no one has asked themselves if this will save the environment (it won't). I've roughly calculated that we can half our oil usage if we all switch over to electric vehicles. But that's far from what's needed to save the world from climate change.

I also predict that BEV's will eventually be a lot cheaper than ICE cars. This will in itself have profound consequences since more people will want to use the road network and congestion is already a problem today.

Ask HN: Are there valuable insights from the Twitter files?
I've been reading the Twitter files, but I'm struggling to find anything that's much of a revelation in them.

Twitter removes pictures of Hunter Biden's penis, and US three-letter agencies meet with top social media execs seem pretty weak.

I'm fairly left-leaning though, so I may be glossing over something. Objectivity, are there details that are valuable outside of scoring political points?

think of pattern matching being implemented via methods on an object which return a hash/array (deconstruct and deconstruct_keys).

ActiveRecord objects wrap an hash of attributes, but are also normal objects which have instance variables and methods plus some hooks and specific API that can be expected to be overriden.

So it's unclear how the method should behave: just read from the hash? Invoke some specific method? Invoke any method?

The answer may be non obvious.

I hate blaming the process rather than the "root cause" (that brings people to steal), however, in this particular case it does feel like leaving packages out in the open on porches is setting yourself up for failure. In the Netherlands, where I'm from, if you're not home, they'll ring your neighbor's doorbell and ask them to keep the package for you, and put a piece of paper in your letterbox telling you which neighbor has it. Now, of course if you don't have any neighbors (that are home), that might not work, and I can understand the convenience of just having your package there when you arrive home, but I still feel like a better system might help, here.

> People who think that all crypto is worthless may be confused by this. The actual reason was far more silly.

It's precisely because crypto is worthless that where ever crypto is, there is only scams.

People point to FTX and say "see it's not crypto that's the cause, it's classic corruption!" but that misses the point critics of crypto are making.

Because crypto has no real practical value, its only function is as a tool for traditional scams and corruption.

Critics of crypto generally don't believe that crypto itself is a tool that creates fraud, but because it is a useless tool, when you see it being "used" what you must be seeing is fraud.

We've seen this borne out over and over again.

I feel like people talking about "Killed by AI" don't understand how Machine Learning works. There are a lot of fields that can be "killed" by current AIs if trained correctly - almost anything menial, repetitive and something that people could answer on their own, but "skill issue" prevented them from.

Art? Yes, you can get it to draw something in style of, but it won't be able to create new style.

StackOverflow? Well, what are you going to train it all? Current AI is good at answering questions that been already answered by SO.

Spotify's recommendations? Absolutely not. Probably the worst recommendations out of all streaming services. Sharing playlists EW not because of AI, but because of music accessibility at unprecedented levels. People don't even make playlists for themselves anymore, let alone share them. Sidenote: 4/5 of my Discover Weekly is insta-dislike because Spotify doesn't get _why_ I liked the song similar to it.

> I've been using Gmail forever, but trust Google less and less given their stance on privacy

You can have the best of both worlds and have both a self-hosted option with custom domain alongside a Gmail account.

One caveat to custom domains is they can be reclaimed after you die / get incarcerated / go into a coma.

With a Gmail account protected with MFA nobody gets in except you, and it's locked away forever even after you're unable to access it due to unforeseen circumstances.

As for Google and privacy: the trick is to limit the scope of what they can collect. Don't surf whilst logged into a Google account, don't setup Youtube channels, don't use Android, use iOS instead or even better, GrapheneOS. Use DuckDuckGo for search, etc

Kind of, it doesn't use a skirt or suck the car towards the ground. It uses a fan to guide the air allowing for steeper diffuser angles than would normally work. So you get an indirect downforce improvement.

In the end you get an effect that is 1 or 2 orders of magnitude smaller than sucking the car to the ground with a skirt.
Well, you're almost certain to hit a hydrogen atom within a meter of travel in deep space. Larger objects will be less common, no doubt.

> That is how big and empty the universe is.

Indeed. The corrollary is that there's an awful lot of space to travel through in search of something to hit.

Regarding that 0%: I don't think it's possible for you to travel through space fast enough to catch up with the expansion of the Universe. It follows that your search for something to hit goes on forever, and the chance of eventually hitting something must be 100%.

Whoah! Not so fast, Denton! As you are travelling looking for something to hit, the Universe is expanding, and the distance between galaxies is growing. So the longer you travel, the less likely you are to find something to crash into.

I don't know how to work out the sums. I don't know how to multiply a 0% chance by a 100% chance. Or rather, I do; it just gives an answer that I don't like intuitively. It should be a 0% chance; I guess it probably is.
I was referring of course, to the quote

> Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I'm not presenting a strawman - it's what the quote said. The quote makes a claim about the proposition made by conservatives. I suppose though I did make an ad hominem attack - the fact that the quote cited came from a musical composer (and not a political scientist of the same name) speaks in neither direction to its veracity. The quote claims that conservatives want laws to apply to some and not to others. That conservatives don't generally think this way can be seen by reading anything from Thomas Sowell, George Will, or Milton Friedman (for just a few examples). I could pull out particular examples from their books, but their books are dripping with examples - open to a random page in any of the three authors and you'll find one.

The quote in question, however, is presenting a strawman, by not presenting any examples in support of it.
Broken up != shut down.

Without advocating for/against the proposal, to clarify: typically this means either business units are spun out as smaller companies, or sold off to competitors. You’d expect some job losses due to consolidation but it’s not like you are closing down all of the branches and sending everyone working there home.
If by "production" you mean it's something you intend to use to produce revenue, then you absolutely shouldn't until you've evaluated and exhausted all of your better options.
Profitable big tech layoffs are, in my opinion, a different phenomenon. Those companies are trying to get their PE up to be competitive with fixed rate assets. Otherwise, their share prices will suffer even more. For example, Google's PE of 19 is OK in the era of a free money, but not so good when rates are at 5% and defensive sectors yield 7+%. But the key thing is that the layoffs are not an existential question for them -- they are profitable and can continue to run for years even if their shares suffer. It would be a bad business decision, but will not lead to a quick death.

I was talking about smaller, unprofitable, non-market dominating firms. If they are not profitable they will have to raise or die. And raising in the environment of 5+% rates and poor overall tech stock performance may get brutal. Currently, many of those companies still have significant runways (because they were able to raise a lot earlier), but this will start running out in the next several months. This may already be starting: two of my friends who work in such small companies (robotics and lasers) are sensing job uncertainty ahead. My 2c.
Thank you very much! I've been working on it for about 20 months :)

> The literal act of gazing is what "the gaze" in the context of art is referring to, whether it's in media form or performed in real life.

No, it is not, and this is why you're having a hard time understanding the purpose of this project, because you've decided that male gaze means something it doesn't, and are arguing from that perspective.

> In modern contexts, it's clear criticism of "the gaze" is criticism of the objectification of women. It's argued that it's "harmful" in art, as it represents objectification of women.

Again, no. The male gaze is a specific term that refers to how women are portrayed in visual media.

Let's also keep in mind your example of the Sex Live of College Girls is 2 years old. The art used by this project is much much older. These time periods are not comparable.

You can have this now, no need to wait for death since the plot is mostly about culture, not technology. Seems to me that many die without even having scratched the surface of life. Of course, there is this wish for an afterlife or future re-awakening in many. It's natural to want more.
>Their rights were never chilled. It didn't affect consumers at all, and the law was never enforced before it was (swiftly) struck down. The law didn't harm anyone.

I don't see how you can say that the right was never chilled, as far as I know there's no way to determine how many lawsuits weren't filed because the potential plaintiffs and their lawyers were afraid of losing their homes due to the fee shifting provision, even if they filed a successful lawsuit.

On top of the difficulty of proving a negative, it turns out there actually are instances of people whose rights are being harmed by this law. There are quite a few court cases that were put on hold while the constitutionality of this part of the law was determined. When it comes to civil rights, I'm in the camp of "a right delayed is a right denied". Every single person whose civil rights lawsuit was put on hold or stayed pending the outcome of this ruling was harmed by it.

On top of that, there's clear evidence that 1021.11 was used to harm people. The judge calls some of these instances out in his ruling (e.g. the Abrera and Defense Distributed cases).

Catholicism teaches that usury is morally evil and therefore always wrong. 'Usury' means taking any amount of interest on a full-recourse loan (ie a loan where the collateral is not limited to a particular asset or set of assets -- so yes, it includes credit cards, student loans and most mortgages).

[O]ur Lord, according to Luke the evangelist, has bound us by a clear command that we ought not to expect any addition to the capital sum when we grant a loan. For, that is the real meaning of usury: when, from its use, a thing which produces nothing is applied to the acquiring of gain and profit without any work, any expense or any risk.

– Lateran V

[The following proposition is condemned as erroneous:] Since ready cash is more valuable than that to be paid, and since there is no one who does not consider ready cash of greater worth than future cash, a creditor can demand something beyond the principal from the borrower, and for this reason be excused from usury. – Various Errors on Moral Subjects (II), Pope Innocent XI by decree of the Holy Office, March 4, 1679 (Denzinger)

One cannot condone the sin of usury by arguing that the gain is not great or excessive, but rather moderate or small; neither can it be condoned by arguing that the borrower is rich; nor even by arguing that the money borrowed is not left idle, but is spent usefully, either to increase one’s fortune, to purchase new estates, or to engage in business transactions. – Vix Pervenit, encyclical of Benedict XIV
