Are you sure about that? What's your source?

Some quick searching gave me https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/historical-fatalit... which even looks like a decrease per capita over the past decades.

No clue whether that source of data is any good, and what the rates outside of the Us are. Just FYI, I don't like car centric places either, and that's part of the reason I probably couldn't live in the US.
I think you missed my previous comments saying how I've used it extensively the past few years for employers. It's like a bell curve, you like it and think, wow, this is amazing. Then as the years pass and you start having to maintain it, you steadily dislike it until you get to not wanting to use it anymore at all. The people who currently like Tailwind might simply not have gotten to this later stage yet.
This is cold af. Well played.

I guess the autor deliberately intended to have no deliberate intention in mind while painting.

Also, the author somehow "allows" the pictures to cause feelings in the viewer, but says that he/she removes him/herself from the equation. But I think he/she is a viewer of his/her own pictures while drawing it. There is definitely some feedback going on.

So one improvement could be to draw without looking at the output.

But maybe the best way to go here is to computer-generate some pictures. And one is also not allowed to hand-pick a generated picture. And one should have nothing in mind while writing that computer program.

I work in React so all of our CSS is scoped, at the very least with CSS modules, so we never get to a point where we have global CSS, at all. If you're working on a project that uses global styles, then yes, it will be extremely painful.

But in the days of components, Tailwind simply is worse to me from a maintainability perspective than just having scoped CSS. It is at best equal to CSS classes because inevitably the pattern used is with @apply or making a space separated string of all the Tailwind classes in JS in order to add that as a variable to whatever div you needed to. Which is, well, CSS classes reinvented.

I initially rolled my eyes at the title, but then the subtitle adds “On the Legitimacy of...” and the rest of the article raises good points, so it’s just the misleading title I dislike. I don’t think there is a good argument against predictive optimization itself, but that’s not what the article is about—rather it is about how we are implementing it incorrectly and misusing its results.

I’ve posted on here before that I think we as a society need to carefully distinguish between predictive ability, causal inference, and ethical policies.

You can predict things without understanding the cause. And you can determine the cause of something without being able to make future predictions about it. But neither causation nor prediction are sufficient to inform an ethical policy.

A simple example might be a genetic abnormality that causes disease. Suppose we can use someone’s DNA to predict early in life and with high accuracy whether they are likely to eventually develop a disease that entails exorbitant medical costs. And suppose we can even identify the combination of genes that fully determines the outcome of whether a person will develop the disease or not. Health insurance companies might decide it’s not in their financial interest to insure these people, at least not without significantly raising the affected customers’ premiums.

But as a matter of morality, society decides that because this disease is not the fault of any individual or within any individual’s ability to control, insurance (and subsequently, all customers) should accept this additional cost as a necessary loss in order to ensure fairness.

To expound on the article’s other point, what is frequently claimed as “predictive” often is not actually so. As a data scientist, one of the things that I’ve noticed within my industry that is really glossed over is evaluating the accuracy of accuracy evaluation. Determining the quality of a model’s predictions is to some degree extremely difficult to do correctly. As a motivating example, consider a collection of models from different seismologists for earthquake prediction. Could you easily tell me which model is “the best” and to what extent each model is wrong?

Any ethical policy that includes predictive ability as one of its components should require intense scrutiny of the quality of the predictions. Not to mention that policies that depend upon predictive ability should already be extremely rare—I can think of perhaps one example: “what value of n to use for Blackstone’s ratio?” In this case, the true value of n (as opposed to our desired value for n) depends on how accurately we can predict whether someone is legally guilty or innocent. And even in that case, we never have ground truth data, so our ability to determine precision/recall is fundamentally limited.
You can assure me with the might of 1000 exploding suns, but it STILL means nothing.

I'm not insinuating that those unknown entities that only you know of are using the tool wrong. I'm literally claiming that they are because being "not really small company" says absolutely nothing about the way their engineers do their job.

> If I see the same patterns everywhere

"everywhere" is, again, something that exists in your head only and no one else knows what "everywhere" is. Where is everywhere? Who exactly are the people who are running into these unknown troubles? Are they knowledgeable engineers? Do they understand underlying problem that the tool solves? I'd say that you are consuming resources which gather people who run into problems due to their lack of knowledge, such as stackoverflow.com so yes, the pattern you'll see is problems.

> I will blame the tool, absolutely

Because the tool needs to bridge the gap between what people understand and what they want to achieve, there's literally no responsibility on the human in this story. Great thinking, let's see how that plays out :)

> If we use them wrong, it is the tool that must change, not us.

If you want to achieve the goal, the easiest thing to change is you and not the world around you. But by all means, you do you, the only currency you'll effectively pay with is your invaluable and irreplaceable time.

> Must I only comment on the tool itself without anything in its periphery?

I didn't tell you what you *must*, I asked why you didn't. You still have the option to do so, but that would require that you actually invest time into checking out Konsta UI - which you didn't, right? Is my assumption correct? You just didn't do it but you commented on what you disliked. I think that's all there is to it.
Delivery trucks are quite annoying and accidentally drive over people sometimes... At some point drones will probably be better than that (not yet).

Every time I go to my city center with the train, from the train station I first have to cross a few busy streets with a lot of car and truck traffic before getting to the walkable parts. Only then it feels I'm actually in the city. Probably one could easily measure the stress level lowering.

Would drones make it better or worse? Maybe they could fly high and operate on rooftops, unnoticeable from street level?

Ultimately, it's: Ma + cv + kx = 0, the differential equation for damped harmonic motion. M, C, and K are matricies/tensors that can change over time as damage occurs, x, dx/dt, and d2x/dt2 are time derivative vectors of your node DOF (xyz, + 3 rotations). Your boundary conditions are that the nodes connected to the ground have a forcing function xg = f(t).

If everything is linear elastic, you can take the principle components/eigenvectors and get fundamental modes for a first approximation. Once you hit plastic deformation, things go non-linear and get more interesting.

So, Wood:

1) Less stiff, so KX means less force due the ground motion.
2) Less mass, so the MA term is less.

However, wood also tends to be used in smaller structures, so your on the left side of the resonance peak, were first mode structure motion is greater than the forcing function (but not into the resonance peak)

Steel tends to be used for really tall buildings, where the earthquake doesn't excite the fundamental modes, so the ground basically wiggles the bottom of the skyscraper, but the top is nearly unaffected. (the right side of the resonance peak)
I do bare CSS for quick POCs but never on real projects. Vanilla JS & CSS sounds romantic when you solo but in a team setting it's better to use something we're all familiar with.

At work we switched over from SCSS modules+global styles to Tailwind last year and it has been great so far:
1. No more custom CSS. No need to think how to name your classes. No more unused CSS.
2. Code completion (VSCode plugin for TW classes)
3. Well documented. Even our BE developers are able to jump in and do minor changes.

The long CSS class name strings look funny but nobody complained about it in our team. Choose whatever works for your team. Tailwind has been nothing but a pleasure for us.
Vatican Church uses the Archdioceses in a number of countries practically as subsidiaries to acquire land holdings. That land is used for Church activities, or actively managed by the Archdiocese, with the Vatican playing a passive investor. I was told this by a church Cardinal (incidentally a German one). And this practice has become especially common in the developing world.

When I was in high school, we had an (excellent!) teacher of Italian literature who always interpreted texts according to a specific key, which she tried to explain through the historical and philosophical background of the era. At some point she gave an interpretation of a novel and, rumour has it, because it was the time of the rise of social media, one of her students contacted the author on Facebook and asked if the interpretation was correct. And, rumour has it, he said no. We were all outraged at the teacher!

However, it's difficult to talk about any artwork without ever discussing an interpretation. By saying "I had nothing in particular in mind", we risk having the opposite effect, that of forbidding any kind of interpretation or discussion. It should be made clear that this means "you are free to interpret", not "there is no interpretation whatsoever".

Finally, a remark: the author is saying they had nothing in particular in mind, but this is not true. Not that they're lying - they are fooling themselves.

Quite true. But a huge number of people seem to believe in the mega-corporate "government is the problem" capitalist dystopia. Where you can - at most - vote your purchasing dollars for corporations which have managed to convince you that they are somewhat less evil.

So long as the people believe that their only choice is "which king will rule over us?", their society will remain a monarchy.
Okay, as you tell me there is nothing I can say to convince you of detractors to your opinions, there is no need for me to talk to you further.

This looks deep at one side, and fully ignores the other. Think about the consequences of not improving safety - personally a lot of poor people will be hurt, either resulting in them having to be supported by their family, or more likely simply dying, and structurally you're not encouraging any change in these conditions. By allowing the workers to be made to work in unsafe conditions you'll reduce cost and prices, but you won't have an incentive to develop safer ways to process everything, since the unsafe way is allowed and way cheaper!

This looks like a good opportunity to ask a question I've had for a long time. In what field(s) of research is it respectable to ask, "Has this paper been peer reviewed?"

I've spent nearly four decades working mostly in academia with scientists, engineers, social scientists of various degrees of rigor, and even occasional humanities types. I don't think I have ever been in a group where someone did or would raise the issue of peer review when discussing the quality of a report.

In all groups I've associated with, you are expected to know enough about your field to be able to assess for yourself the quality of a paper as you read it. Relying on some anonymous reviewer's judgement to justify your acceptance of a report would cast serious doubt on your own judgement.

I've been trying to note just who raises this issue and they appear to be most often in life sciences/medicine. I've never worked in that general area, but my impression is that knowledge of statistics and methodology is rather weaker than in other scientific fields. My (perhaps uncharitable) theory is that peer review has become a gateway for automatic acceptance because the average technical expertise of readers is so low that they cannot evaluate for themselves.
The deadline for remediating multi-family soft stories dwellings in San Francisco was 2020. But this only included buildings with 5+ units, or buildings with a commercial space on the ground floor. There are still many residential buildings, including multi-family buildings (< 5 units), with these 3- or 2-wall soft stories, and there's no mandate in place going forward, AFAIK.

The fix is moment frames, but the typical cost is north of $100,000 for even a single-family home, largely because of the deep footings required, which means tearing up and rebuilding large parts of the foundation and walls. I really wish there were more economical options available. A lot of engineering and regulatory effort went into developing and permitting cheap but highly effective sheer walls, but when it comes to bridging open spaces the only available option (market or otherwise) seems to be a traditional, bog-standard moment frame developed for large, commercial structures, then scaled down.

Contractors don't even offer laminated timber moment frames, only the more expensive steel frames, despite the former technically being available from suppliers and (presumably) capable of passing muster with the building inspector (at least with sufficient cajoling). The premium for steel beams probably only accounts for a fraction of the ultimate cost, but it's an example of the dearth of options, and at $100,000+ those fractions add up.

My 3-story house has a window which compromises the sheer strength of the ground floor back wall, and of course a garage opening in front. Even for the back wall the only options offered by licensed contractors were a deep, concrete footing-anchored moment frame; or removing the window entirely so the sheer wall is continuous, without requiring any footing or foundation work. The distance in complexity between those two options seems huge. In principle there must be cheap techniques for strengthing headers, etc, to provide more than adequate reinforcement, but if available or known they're just not in the average contractor's repertoire, even for earthquake retrofitters, and probably unlikely to pass muster as legitimate reinforcement.

3-5 unit residential buildings are described as the critical "missing middle" in the housing affordability debate in the U.S. I would assume that magic figure holds true in Turkey and most other locales, meaning large fractions if not the majority of residential units are in buildings of that size. The dearth of standard, economical solutions for this middle class of building size in SF makes me think Turkey will find it difficult to reform their system. As evidenced in both SF and Turkey, people will go without if the cost is too high; it couldn't be any other way, economically speaking.
