Yes, but I think there are different sets of users.

Users like you probably are going to want to be where the largest and most diverse group of people is, which will be the largest service. That is currently, by far and away, Twitter. Moving those people away from Twitter, if they do not already have a strong motivation (either socio-political, or use policy, or because their friends and follows have all moved somewhere else), is unlikely, but in any case most of the users who are like you are going to be with the largest service. I doubt that we will have two equally sized services, at least not for quite some time, because many people who are not very disaffected with Twitter will not move.

The most disaffected groups are the ones who have the highest incentive to move to a new platform, and currently many of these fall into the "disgruntled" category, often for socio-political reasons. It makes sense to think that these will be over-represented in the group that makes a serious effort to move to the new platform (if you look at who comprised the surge of users of Mastodon, or something like Post, you can see that this is definitely the case). Bluesky will, at least initially, be like this, I think. In the long run, though, you're right -- most people will want to be with the larger, diverse platform.

Ahahha here's an interesting thing. I've heard people here beginning to push the idea that learning X isn't important when machines can do it for you, but I was parodying, mocking, and otherwise shitting upon that type of belief, because only a total lunatic or cult member would assert that it's great if you never have to think again. What's indeed disturbing is that you perceive - while I lampoon - that there are many people who may actually hold some partial version of that view.

Before jumping straight to high BED scenarios, are there any banana standards? BED would appear to dependant on banana size and type, which isn’t defined as far as I can see.

My favorite video of Veritasium, I knew it'd get posted as a comment when I saw the title!
No, there's no such test. Doctors typically test for strep after you've had strep throat, but the test is only positive if you have strep bacteria in the throat.

The idea behind the streptococcal hypothesis is that you have a sub-clinical infection. There's a lot of uncertainty about whether strep bacteria merely act as a trigger — confusing the immune system into developing autoimmunity, but then disappearing — or whether bacteria remain in the body, hiding in places like the tonsils and in biofilms and periodically coming out to reinfect the host.

About molecular mimicry, Helgi Valdimarsson and his colleagues at the university of Reykjavik has written several papers [1] [2]. The same team has also experimented with whether a tonsillectomy can improve psoriasis, something we actually have a lot of evidence for [3]. The biofilm hypothesis has some clinical evidence (e.g. [4]).

Regarding things your mom can do that's actually supported by studies:

* A recent study on the probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 against S. pyogenes saw incredible (many too incredible) results [5].

* We have some support for other probiotics [6].

* There's decent evidence that large doses (10K–30K IU daily) of vitamin D2 and D3 may help psoriasis [7]. Psoriatics are, pretty consistently, vitamin D-deficient. It's very hard to achieve hypervitaminosis, but it's a good idea to monitor your serum levels while doing this. It's important to take vitamin K2 to increase bioavailability and avoid bone loss.

* Psoriasis severity is linked to being overweight, to alcohol consumption, and to smoking.

* There's anecdotal evidence that a radical diet change can significantly improve psoriasis; for example, going vegetarian. I don't have any proof, however.

Yeah pretty much. A lightning channel is a bit like putting money down as a retainer for a lawyer, or putting a deposit down in a hotel.

The real transaction happens at the beginning, and another transaction happens at the end when the channel closes and we settle out who gets the remainder.
>If you use the bvg app it tells you which ticket you need for any destination, but non-locals might not know that.

I don't know the BVG app, but if you're not regularly in some city installing an app, finding out how it works, adding your payment info is a huge hassle.

We need a single app for all German transit, that is well designed. Instead of hundreds or thousands of apps for every city and village.

What I also really liked is the chargeable chip cards in Taiwan. You could enter and exit anywhere.

Your card is charged with exactly the distance traveled.

No thinking needed. Short distances are always cheap. E.g. if you travel from zone B-C but start just one stop before B ends, you wouldn't pay for the whole of B. You just pay what you use, which is fair.
For me it has become a reflex to check, when a product says it is "free", whether they mean no-cost or freedom. Always a little disappointed, when they chose the wording without seemingly knowing about libre.
No, basically all Lifetime Cost Analysis of plastic recycling suggest it saves carbon/GHG to recycle. (And further that incinerating it with energy recovery is more GHG friendly than landfill)

Try switching to the OpenAI playground in the API console. You can adjust the system prompt and the temperature of the response. Higher temperatures = less predictable responses.
Java's "problem" is more cultural and historical than technical. Modern Java has lots of support for functional and multi-paradigm programming. However most non-trivial Java codebases are quite old and don't take advantage of these newer features, plus most Java programmers were trained in the traditional Super-OOP style of Java programming and still program and advocate for that style of programming.

The intent here is not to show how harmful eating a banana is but instead showing how harmless living nearby a nuclear powerplant.

If eating one banana only is comparable to living 50km from a nuclear powerplant for one entire year, then clearly the radiation you get from the powerplant is ridiculously small.

That fact that all this is only 1% of the radiation dose you'd otherwise get due to background radiation should only help bringing the point home.

Reminds of some earlier openai work https://openai.com/research/nonlinear-computation-in-deep-li...

"Neural networks consist of stacks of a linear layer followed by a nonlinearity like tanh or rectified linear unit. Without the nonlinearity, consecutive linear layers would be in theory mathematically equivalent to a single linear layer. So it’s a surprise that floating point arithmetic is nonlinear enough to yield trainable deep networks."
When I was young someone decided to publish Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine in my native language, as a series of short books (i.e. not like a magazine at all). As this was a series, the publisher used a relatively small group of translators to translate all the issues.

After reading a number of the books I started to notice that I could easily tell who had done the translation, and it was at that point I started to get an aversion to reading translations. I didn't want to read the translator, I wanted to read the author. So I gradually started to switch to English originals (if the original was written in English). (And that, incidentally, is how I learned English.)

Most people have no intention of "winding down" police forces. In fact, a lot of "defund the police" proposals would free up police resources that can then go toward catching criminals by not using them for things we don't need police involved in.

commuting should definitely be factored in. You don't commute for fun, you only commute for the job. It's an expense that occurs every time you work and, as you said, a fixed cost that becomes more important the lower paying your job is.

This is not really what brutalism is about. Brutalism in architecture is often very playful and indeed more like a poetry and celebration of the raw materials and structure, not at all about the pure functionality absence of any aesthetic as formulated in that text. Brutalist buildings often neglect functionality in favour of architectural idiosyncracies. Like for example Trellick Tower: the elevators are in a separate tower outside the building and only serve every third floor. Brutalism celebrates raw form over function, and mostly people really don't enjoy living in these buildings.

A rock that talks in grammatical English sentences and, while while doing so, follows directions fairly well, such as following instructions that ask it to state its decision process (i.e. after you ask it to do so it modifies its behavior by doing so.) A rock that judges use to consult novel cases that aren't in the case law for the rock's opinion. A rock that passes first year medical school and law school exams. A rock programmers use to teach them things they want to learn. A rock programmers use to write small functions to their slecifications. A rock people use to write letters. A rock that can invent things if you ask it to. A rock that has a neural network for its architecture.

Huh? Of course, we see such shifting.

Eg it used to be profitable to mine on your PC. Those days are long past: the returns don't cover the cost of electricity. Hence a shift away from that.

Brasilia was designed exactly to not be what it became. The original plan from Lucio Costa introduced the concept of "superblocks" which would be more-or-less self-sufficient, having shops, residential apartments, schools, parks and so on every few superblocks.

The military dictatorship decide to introduce strict zoning (probably lifting ideas that were happening in the USA during the 60s), completely destroying the urbanistic approach of the original design.

It's a failure of micromanagement from authoritarianism, inspired by the misguided (and nowadays considered idiotic) approach to urban design of the USA in the 50s onward.
FWIW I also found it very condescending.

If you've ever tried to get ChatGPT to generate the code you want, you'll have found its first attempt to be reasonably good, but asking it to change aspects of the code is incredibly hit or miss. It will get it sometimes, but other times it will just say "Here is the code with the change you asked for" and output the exact same code, or a variation without the requested change.

The experience of trying to get a competent human programmer to change their code is simply fundamentally different. You can explain something to the human programmer and get the impression that they truly understand what you ask, while it's painfully clear that ChatGPT does not.
There is no going around complexity. We are absolutely standing on the shoulders of huge giants; even if you think you don’t have any dependency, behind the scenes you use many decades-old libraries dealing with the complexity of floating point arithmetics and such.

Also, Brooks paper is still true, the only real, significant productivity boost is reusing existing code. Even if you rewrite everything from scratch, you will still have to carry the exact same amount of essential complexity. Managing complexity is pretty much the most important part of CS.

I'm a fan of Hanselman but I think I get the gist of what you're saying. The post has an air of 'let's not forget about these strange specimens' when, like you, I'm under the opinion that the type of person he describes in the post are the norm.

Scott is a fantastic teacher, I've learned a lot from listening to him and his podcasts. But at the same time, being in his position requires one to stay on the bleeding edge in some cases, to be able to teach newcomers emerging technologies and explain new features in Microsoft tech like ASP and C#.

When you're surrounded by tech bloggers, social media and the like all day, I expect it to shape your view of what the wider development community actually looks like - even if you're in it. As you say, I feel the vast majority of us just go to work, go home then carry on with our lives. Perhaps pop our head over the fence one in a while if something truly earthshattering is happening.
