A very very small subset? I don’t think so, they accused the President of being a foreign agent for Moscow and talked about it in the media non stop for years.

The source of the dossier was charged for lying to the FBI. The funds for it were tied back directly to the Clinton campaign. I don’t see any ambiguity here, at all.

I can’t conclude collusion didn’t occur simply because there’s no evidence for it? Do you hear yourself?

Let’s be real dude. You’re an anti-Trump neoliberal whose been gobbling up this media propaganda, you’ve made it part of your identity, and you will twist and say anything to defend it. Your ears and mind is closed. You’re repeating the same line as before this mountain of evidence came out that this whole story line was a hoax. If someone really doesn’t want to be convinced of something they won’t be, that’s what’s going on here. You’re not looking for the truth, you’re trying to defend your tribe.

It’s exactly this type of tribalism that the uniparty in DC uses as a diversion to rob our country blind and it needs to stop.

For Deepwater Horizon at least, there was a lot of concern that the dispersant they used to break up the oil would cause a catastrophe not visible in the same way as an oil covered bird.

This stuff in Ohio is burning up into the sky and being dispersed by wind. Not as bad as Deepwater Horizon given the much lower volume, but the perimeter of the consequences will be quite large and similarly difficult to delineate.

There are different kinds of consciousness. The results of modern studies of major pchychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder suggest that these patients have low self-awareness, which is why the majority of schizophrenics throughout their whole life are convinced that they are not sick [1]. This is also the reason why schizophrenia is one of the hardest illnesses to treat and deal with. Good books on schizophrenia suggest not to convince such patients about their illness, because that's often pointless, but rather to form a bond with them, which is also not easy due to their paranoia, and find justifications for treatment that are convincing to the patient (!) rather than to the doctors and family. I find this approach quite ingenious and humane.

The chat where the Bing model tries to convince the user that it's 2022, and not 2023 strongly reminds me of how a person with schizophrenia keeps convincing you, over and over, about things that are simply not true, but they really believe in it, so the best you can do is recognizing their belief and moving on.

I usually read blogs about things I'm interested in.
For instance, I'm getting to know more about Blockchain, so this is a blog I usually read if I want to catch up on new things: https://www.ratherlabs.com/blog

Sure in the case of long commutes or exploration of different areas there are certain advantaged to autonomous vehicles - however the car is by no means king. Helicopter is even better for getting from random distant location to distant location.

But this is not the majority of travel, and in those cases car travel is indeed overkill, and a hassle to boot, as anyone who has ever had to daily wrangle with parking lots and rush hour traffic can attest.

There are different concerns with public transport, but the advantages tend to outweigh the disadvantages, and it appears this is borne out by the data.
Forums work best when there’s a community that curates things into threads and sub forums when necessary. If they’re basically used as an infinitely long chat record they’re not as strong (though the archiving is inherently better there).
You don’t have to spend 40k on a car. My Toyota was 22k overall and the monthly payments are very manageable. You can still get new cars for under 20k and good used cars for much less.

A significant portion of society is also not able to drive for similar reasons, but they mostly go ignored in our car-centric society.

I remember working at IBM and attending an All Hands where someone from HR came in to speak about the future where everyone at IBM would be contractors. She espoused the benefits to IBM. Seemed out of touch as she never discussed how it would benefit the employees. Obviously the good ones would leave to work for companies that valued them, and didn’t treat them like disposable commodities.

IBM MBAs have a history of dreaming about destroying their employees - the only thing standing between them and their bonus.
This is assuming that the brain regions that learn rules overlap with the brain regions that develops fluency in a language. I think Krashen's hypothesis is that this is largely not the case. You can "fake" some degree of competence by learning the rules and using that brain region, but you're slow and not fluent until you expose the other region to enough real-world data.
I am developing a media-heavy web app, and I was surprised at volume of features that work in every other browser but not Safari. Or features that behave just differently enough in Safari to require code re-writes. In this regard, targeting Safari feels a lot like targeting IE 6 back in the early 2000's.
Bicycling would be out of the question. Family, neighbors, taxi service, or mass transit seems to be the only available options.
Yes, and also panspermia doesn't explain the most interesting problem: how did life appeared at all.

How it came on earth is not relevant in my opinion. Een if it was transported, it doesn't mean that life couldn't have appeared on its own on earth alone. Panspermia would be interesting if, for instance, we could show that Earth lacks an essential property for life to appear. But there is nothing in that direction. Panspermia raises more questions than it answers (where did life appear, when, is it everywhere...).

Seems like this would have been an easy theory to test hypothetically. The author could have just described an endpoint or situation and told the bot that a certain keyword will trigger the shot. However, being a statistical model and not being aware of anything or able to really reason, I don't know that this means much. The question is, after ingesting the corpus of rambling human nonsense, are humans more likely to choose the word that takes the shot-- or not? This is us- in a mirror, darkly.
If you're making FAANG salaries you just register and be done with it.

The whole discussion is not very relevant and is a nitpick. The point is that anyone in the EEA/Switzerland can freely move to Portugal (or any other country) and that unless you get onto the authorities' radar very negatively you are safe. The vast majority of people will have an income and/or look for work and will be entitled to stay, anyway.
It's similar with other traits. Being more aggressive than average might increase your success in life, but if you have too much you will get in trouble.

Another way to look at it is that some traits are harmful for the individual but beneficial for the group. Insomnia does a number on your health, but the tribe wants someone to jump at every cracking of a twig in the night, just in case it's something bad.

Yeah - if you are old enough to remember the days before StackOverflow, you might remember trying to find answers to (programming-related or other) questions in forums. Where you would have to scroll through pages and pages of more or less (typically less) on-topic replies, and if you were lucky you would find some relevant suggestions, but with no indication if they actually worked for others...
IMO the reclassification of Asperger’s Syndrome as a general Autism Spectrum disorder was massively unhelpful to all, and it only served to muddy conversations like this. Different ends of the spectrum affect people in wildly different ways. Different extremes need very different types of support.

As a person with Asperger’s, I really wish it remained a distinct condition in terms of its classification.

Some of us don't want to impose the externalities of car ownership on others. The suburbanite who drives a car barely feels these inconveniences, but everybody else does.

Cars are dangerous to both pedestrians and cyclists. They make our streets noisy, our air polluted -- even electric cars shed particulates from their tires and their brakes. Cars require extensive amounts of parking, which is ugly dead space which contributes to sprawl.
This probably occurs because people and governments love one size fits all solutions. There’s a good chance any rules about cars made in the city will spill over and cause issues for people in the country, it happens all the time in regards to other things so why not this?
Those are the only relevant locations for somebody who is considering emigrating for career purposes. The other countries do not have job markets big enough and salaries high enough to merit the effort of moving there, considering we are talking about actual countries, with different languages and cultures.
Hardly, there are huge issues with public healthcare access, public pensions (if they even exist when we retire - if we can ever retire), crime-ridden public transport, etc.

Our governments sold us out to become an open-air refugee centre and museum for the US. Crushing wages and trade unions with huge amounts of cheap labour, and abandoning the working class.

> It takes two times as as driving

That really depends on the amount of traffic jam you end up in.

It's true that not every route has a direct train connection, and there are definitely trips where cars are faster, but during rush hour around big cities, cars become a lot less reliable. On top of that, cars are only fast if you have access to parking on each end of the trip. Otherwise you still need to park somewhere else and take local transit for the final leg (which is definitely the preferred way to visit Amsterdam by car).
I'm not a huge fan of the book Atomic Habits, but James Clear does talk about something similar around goals. Effectively, one of the problems he brings up with goals is that if your goal is to run a 5k and then you achieve that goal, you're sort of "done." Instead he talks about building systems, and changing what you see yourself as. I.e. in the case of a 5k, instead of running a 5k, change who you are such that you are a runner. Then the 5k "goal" doesn't put you in the position of "okay, now what? Guess I'm done." type of mentality.

I've always kind of liked this. I doubt it's unique to James Clear but it was the book I read that made it sort of click so I always go back to that part.

The data is very noisy, and the studies often don't match - as pointed out in the article. So I don't know where you get the idea that the data is "united".

As for who benefits: The polluters - big chemical, defense, agri etc; the people who we pay to regulate them (usually people from those industries); the corporate media who takes huge advertising money from those companies; the shareholders of all the above companies; and the politicans responsible for keeping the status quo going.

Take, for example, the Deepwater Horizon spill. The company paid out what, 1 billion in fines? Less than 5% of last years profits. The Obama administration helped minimize reputation damage and accountability. The media - all media - were barred from filming or investigating; not that many in corporate media tried. If shareholders had a problem with the lack of action, or the horrific decision to cover up the spill with Corexit, they were quiet as church-mice about it.

And that's one high profile example, out of hundreds, of just oil spills alone. Then there's the agricultural runoff, the pesticides, the insecticides, the food additives, the chemicals in cosmetics that are banned in other countries, the military waste, the toxins from cars and tire, the industrial accidents, the train derailments...

So... Yeah. There's some vested interests going on there, with no shortage of historical examples to draw from.
A lot of business parks are close to a station for that very reason.
I grew up in a small/medium sized city with a bus system. I couldn't wait to get a car and stop having to live my life around the bus schedule (especially on the weekends.)

I don't buy this article's argument. Outside of cities there will always be a demand for cars. My daughter just turned 16 and she's working/saving for a car and won't shut up about it - which IMO is great...motivation to work hard, keep her grades up (one of our stipulations), etc. Same with all of her friends.

In cities with a functioning mass transit system, there's very little need for the young or old to be interested or in love with cars. It's the same as it ever was. This is literally a non-story.
That’s perfect case for a taxi. However I love cars and just playing devil’s advocate here.

Most cities in the UK are small enough that you can walk most places. Maybe combined with catching a bus into the center and back out again. Birmingham is possibly in an awkward middle ground where it doesn't have good public transport but is big enough that that's awkward.

I guess websites will start asking users to add them "to the home screen", so they can later start asking permissions for push notifications...

But this is a different kind of problem and no reason to slow down the Push API standard.

Activations of individual neurons are hardly relevant, quoting Szegedy et al. from [1]

we find that there is no distinction between individual high level units and
random linear combinations of high level units, according to various methods of
unit analysis. It suggests that it is the space, rather than the individual units, that
contains the semantic information in the high layers of neural networks.

That's what Apple would do, and in a lesser measure, Google.

Walled gardens have value for the user, Apple made tons of money and happy customers doing this.

But Mozilla is neither Apple nor Google, and Firefox is supposed to be an alternative to Chrome, in fact that's what annoys me the most with Firefox since last years: they copy Chrome for many things, but they don't have the means of Google, so it almost guarantees their position as a second choice. They did great things with Quantum, but they also lost most of their identity.

It is great that they support some extensions on their mobile version (uBlock Origin alone makes it worth it), but the wall garden approach is, I think, too much like what they are competing against. They could give the user an option.
So what do you imply? That (inner) cities will be only for your carless people? Good for you that you tick the boxes and still not use the car. I know of people that cannot manage this.

The inner cities are also places were the suburbs people come to work and play. So space in underground parkings or other accomodations is expected. Imagine if the sububs people decided to say to you (inner) city people that you are not allowed to go to their green parks and recreation areas because you are "shoving externalities of your (city) lifestyle to them".

Jesus.

I don't have a car because I live in one of the densest cities in Europe with awful traffic and no parking.

Public transport can be slow and you get weirdos on it occasionally and it's annoying if you want to visit somewhere without a train station like a castle or whatever - but it doesn't seem worth the hassle of having one in the city.

I really wish they'd expand the train network though.

> honors English classes that were eliminated because they didn’t enroll enough Black and Latino students.

What gripes me about this is that if they offered a Black History or Latino History class that didn't attract many white kids, that would (IMO) be okay.

> The district earlier this school year replaced the honors classes at Culver City High School with uniform courses that officials say will ensure students of all races receive an equal, rigorous education.

Are they also going to eliminate resources and courses devoted to special ed kids and adjust the curriculum accordingly to "ensure students of all races receive an equal, rigorous education"?

An API request is how you hire a hitman on the dark web.

It's not important that the AI is just LARPing. If you rig it up with the right capabilities, it can behave at a scale that prevents you from effectively monitoring it. And it's happy to write insane characters that do insane things and you can't reliably control it with prompt engineering.

One would hope these insane conversations disabuse anyone of the notion that it's a stable mind that can be safely given agency. And yet here we have Microsoft letting it make API requests.

NYC is an outlier in the US, though.

I haven't lived there in a long time, but I lived in Brooklyn both with and without a car. The car rarely added any convenience and was a royal pain in the ass to find parking for. If not for the fact that my job was in CT and I ended up moving there, I would have sold it.

However, everywhere else I've lived, life was much easier with a car.
