IMHO, neural-net AIs are sensors; they're great at surfacing things that are going on in the training data. I would speculate that ChatGPT is labeling these things are differently harmful because they are differently harmful. It's a sensor, like a thermometer; albeit a very complex one. (And, like any sensor, has nuances from implementation and metric-definition: mercury thermometers & barometric pressure, wet bulb / dry bulb, etc)

> Why can we not consider all groups equal?

Because they aren't. (If that's a thing you find debatable, LMK!) Attempting to consider them all equal runs into problems just like you'd run into problems trying to consider all pumps at the gas station (including diesel) equal; even if, for sake of the metaphor, all the prices were equal.

> why should the results be mapped against statistics

I'm not sure that's answerable outside of a specific context. Personally, I think we should because it's fascinating and, I would expect, a really informative way to explore in more detail. Culturally, it's because you get better communities when you do things like give the high-accessibility seat on the train to the person with broken leg; aka, go out of your way to treat harmed people with more care.

If your question is about the inverse, something like "why should language that's harmful against one group by OK when used against a group that doesn't experience it harmfully", I dunno what to say. I feel like the question kinda answers itself; sort of a "ain't broke don't fix".

Or maybe your question is more: "why does this disagree with [me] about what's harmful to [me]", I dunno. Maybe the training data didn't include (enough) for the AI-as-sensor to detect that, maybe that data doesn't exist, maybe (and very cynically) that data doesn't actually point to that "conclusion" when run through the AI. Kinda like how the first time many people experience delayed-onset-muscle-soreness they think it's "I'm hurt"-pain.
I mean we all know how adversarial training works as it's already commonly used today. I would not expect that to be useful in the future.

This argument only makes sense if you ignore the status quo ante of the civil rights movement, or of the labor movement. Which is the one sentence response I should have written originally.

I disagree. I have been using Kubuntu and Fedora at work.

Fedora supposedly is amazing because always ahead, and I would, except that I'm terrified of upgrading because every time I do, gnome breaks plugins.
Gnome without plugins is not usable from my perspective (system tray), which essentially managed to create this horrible situation where I have to delay upgrading for 6 months to be on the safe side.

Kubuntu on the other side, is ubuntu. Canonical messed up badly with Pro, so I'm looking for alternatives.
That's when I realized that my only problem with Fedora IS GNOME.
Next time, I'm sticking to KDE, I don't care what the most common one is, KDE seems to be more stable and that's important to me.

And the window manager is way more flexibility for heavy multidesktop users...

Which is why I wrote "Is it more efficient in the long run?"

Ideally there would be an open probe into the project as a whole decide whether or not the switch is a good idea, and whether or not such a change should be accomplished with Rust.
Can't speak for Windows, but GNOME and KDE heavily use the window key by default for DE and window management functions. Applications are pretty free to use control and alt keys to their heart's desire (they're free to use the window key too, but if the DE/WM captures a particular hot key, it won't work... it's not often that applications try to actually use it).
its terrible, but given that after smearing this stuff all over the place only 4 people died, it seems to take a bit more effort than just walking around the city. Those shooters like Las Vegas etc we get here cause way more destruction without having to use such extravagant methods.
Not sure how you can look at that second link and conclude it has a "substantial" amount of violent crime. The overall crime rate, and the violent crime rate, are both rated at "A-" levels, which is on the good end of the scale, not the bad end.

I mean, ffs, this is from the link:

"By a simple count ignoring population, more crimes occur in the northwest parts of East Killingly, CT: about 0 per year. The north part of East Killingly has fewer cases of violent crime with only 0 in a typical year."
Here's an easy one I just picked from their list:

Trump: "We just got seventy five million votes. And that's a record in the history of in the history of sitting presidents."

WaPo: "When the counting was finished, Trump had received 74 million votes, not 75 million as he often claims" and then a bunch of irrelevant crap about how Biden got more, and how a record number of people voted in 2020.

Discounting 75 vs 74 million, Trump did get more votes than any sitting President in history. That is a fact, not a lie.

I used to find it frustrating to have a team full of greenhorns but changed my tune quickly.

1. They were eager as hell. It's refreshing to be surrounded by people like that.
2. You can get more done with them by training and helping mop up the occasional mistake than you can without them.

In the end it was great but an entirely different role than what it said on the tin.

I think the main difference is:

1) You can't just go get a loan for "a software" like you can "a widget maker." Most businesses with these large capital assets get loans on them and then it works out nicely as you pay back the loan on the asset while you depreciate it.

2) This would be like the law saying "anything you do in the business of making widgets at all is now a capital outlay" which is obviously ridiculous. It's not that they said "if you buy expensive tools to make software now you have to capitalize them", it's written that any expense at all in service to software development is something now capitalized.

Not that you agree with what's been done and I appreciate your example, but I think it does give a good contrast to see the differences.

There are two parts to this. One is avoiding or preventing stress, which is the primary focus of this article.

The other is getting rid of stress when you already have it.

Personally, I find that leaning into the "fight or flight" response by going for a run or a workout as soon as possible and as intensely as possible works almost every time.

The two are intertwined! "If it bleeds, it leads" works especially well on low-trust societies, and car culture enables and enforces low-trust social growth.

Put another way: the media might be a primary driver of the problem, but American culture is uniquely susceptible to it because of car dependence and the cultural/demographic structures that dependence incentivizes.
Java's ORMs are infamously clunky and both them and many of its modern frameworks make tremendous efforts to twist the language into an unidiomatic, dynamically typed thingy with a bunch of extra compilation in between.

Police budget for Berlin (similar in size to LA, at 3.5M inhabitants) is about [0] $2 billion per year - that's for a region with much lower salaries than the US. They employ more than twice the number of police officers (26k vs 12k in LA).

And that's comparing a well funded and prestigious police force in the US - the comparison would look much worse in some poorer cities.

Billionaire Charlie Munger says crypto is a gambling contract that US should ban

I'm right there with you about the 2nd Iraq War. But as I've gotten older I've seemingly gotten more conservative and I'm relieved to have a status quo politician running USG as the devil I know. I've grown up under the shadow of mass surveillance (Binney was 2001) and status quo mass reality distortion, and see a way around that through Free software etc (despite it being an arduous road). But I don't have much of an answer to domestic administrations paralyzing institutions, wagging the dog with nonsense like "antifa" and "stolen election", and unleashing physical troops (both federal "law enforcement" and social media fueled militias) to hunt for the witches. And ultimately it bothers me that all of the legitimate critiques of the status quo US power structure are being brought into the limelight simply to enable a different set of looters who are even more shameless.
When friends ask me about Scotland and Brexit I tell them within our lifetime the Scots will split off a rejoin the EU. There is already a difference in terms of laws, currency and education. Every time Westminster shuts down another attempt the support will grow and this might take decades.

iOS is indeed gaining market share. It seems pretty clearly to be temporally unrelated to any app store advantages, which probably peaked 5-10 years ago.

To be clear, I think that the availability of niche apps is some kind of competitive advantage for iOS. But not a particularly big one, and probably less of one now than it was a decade ago.

The recent rise of iOS market share in the US probably has a lot to do with the wealth spike created by the pandemic, which advantages a marginally more expensive product. The other place I'd look is iPhone cameras vs Galaxy cameras, though honestly I'm not sure how good Galaxy's cameras are since I don't like Samsung's Android dialect.
ABC Britain made this probably amazing anthology series in 1962 called Out of This World [1].

I say probably because out of the 14 episodes made the only one left today is episode 3, Little Lost Robot [2], the first adaptation of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot. The reason we don't have the other episodes? Apparently ABC had this practice of wiping the tapes after the episodes aired. What could they have been possibly thinking.

So many treasure troves, art and otherwise, have been lost to carelessness; perhaps with the new found generatively hallucinatory powers of statistical learning we could see some restorative trend, a retro-magination, based on extant leftovers. Perhaps Aristotle did write a treatise on Comedy after all [3].

How well does Rust inter operate with C or C++ code? When you interoperate, do the security issues persist or do they disappear automagically?

Why were the owners liable? They notified the court and were prevented by the court from removing the machine, so my first thought is they should be blameless: The court assumed control and therefore responsibility.
There is no example, especially if you’re limiting to significant global powers.

Replacing Cops with Mimes (2022)
Better food, house and most expensive medical care I can agree.

Elite education at the highest level kinda breaks down how it is currently implemented. Tutors are one thing, private schools maybe an other. But Universities should be fixed. Either outright pay, or compete in total meritocracy with admission tests or standardised testing.
Sorry, I meant in comparison to teenagers with switches on their glocks.

Cops are crap with their guns, but generally better than someone who has never trained at all and is waiting for a chance to shoot at something for the first time.

I'm well aware of the American hero, Chris Dorner, who exposed LAPD and genuinely made them feel fear that they may see consequence for the first time. His methods are up for debate but he's done something only lies about fentanyl has been able to do.

Good point but that's just the way beliefs work. And most people lack the metacognitive concept of analyzing their beliefs or understand what a belief really is.

It's the definition of a belief. Beliefs are structural components of cognition. But also they are not the same thing as reality.

People should be educated about this concept. Without the education, it is impossible for people to tell the difference between a deeply held belief and reality.
This stops being true when U.S. government officials (including publicly elected officials and folks in 3 letter agencies) get involved with those moderation policies.

I think it’s still an open question whether it’s acceptable for government officials to be involved in any way with the moderation policies of a company outside of the 1st amendment including:

* asking for changes to moderation policies

* asking for enforcement of existing policies

* passing lists of users to be watched for policy violations

* etc.

Which has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen until the courts figure out whether or not the U.S. government is allowed to launder away 1st amendment protections through collaboration with private companies.

I see where you’re coming from, but the way the western countries managed their garbage problem was to send it to those especially unprepared countries (think: sending container ships with trash from the US to China).

"A man is judged by the company he keeps"

My local news [hi, Global BC!] can't do much better nowadays than to scrape up ambulance chasers, loan sharks, MLM, and dodgy pharma as advertisers.
It's always interesting to see these short solution-models, particularly the sets of things they have identified to try.

With something like rumination, there are thousands, possibly millions of potentially helpful interventions.

One thing I've noticed that can help is to gather and rank interventions, or have the subject do so if it's not you.

This also has the side effect of yielding and demonstrating subjective control, which IMO can be generally helpful with rumination, since it is often modeled as a control-dichotomy issue.

So I kind of wonder if articles like this could benefit from some interactivity. "Below we've gathered various activities that are said to help with rumination. Sort them into the order that seems most likely to help you, most-helpful first."

Again, control comes up in a possibly therapeutic way, as we provide a moment's transition from author-platform/author-in-control model to reader control.

Just an idea though. Thanks for sharing the article.

> But why does he need students to do his own research?

What a... weird way to phrase this.

"Need"? All the faculty I've worked with have wanted students to work with them. Science is frequently a collaborative effort, and having more than one person working on a project is often a good way to make the project better. They generally do not see students as a burden, but as an investment into the future of the field (and their own success, of course, but in a collaborative sense).

It's fine if you decided academia wasn't for you, and I don't doubt even a little bit that people do exist who see students as a burden to be dealt with. But my own experience has been vastly different from that, so it strikes me as odd that you simply assumed a cynical stance off the bat.

Anyway, your general stance seems very cynical. I like doing my own work, but I also like collaborating with people, and I know I'm not alone in that.

Trump claim: “Every week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90% of which floods across from our southern border.”

WaPo's own "factcheck", ironically, confirms what he said was true.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/live-updates/tr...

Most of the entries in the database are things like "we have the greatest economy in history" and other such vague puffery. And if Trump repeats it 100 times, it counts as 100 lies.
