(sorry for responding after so many days - didn't see reply before)

Ha! Certainly a fair and good point.

I would propose that there is a spectrum when it comes to the 'damage', as a term that comes to mind right now, (likely to be) caused by various kinds potentially confusing information.

Given differences in the way different people understand, well, pretty much anything, I'd propose that it might best be thought of as some set of statistical distributions. Using this kind of framework*, we might be able to reasonably improve thinking about what these distributions might look like, how we might tailor the information we provide and how much work we put into trying to avoid introducing possibilities for confusion, etc. Further, I suggest 'set' as we might benefit from 'parameterizing' (thinking about distinct distributions) in terms of traits - autism, ADHD, anxiety, etc.

In my mind, and based on my experiences, I would (in part, thinking terms of the model I'm proposing here) be much more wary of asserting potentially incorrect information in the realm of math and some of the more 'abstract' subjects that people tend to have more trouble in the first place. A concept like 'Santa Claus' isn't something that a child may need to be able to use as a basis for building serious skills on, say. Of course, 'Santa Claus' can be helpful for building imagination, ability with storytelling, developing narratives, etc. ... but the fundamental information regarding some specific entity 'Santa Claus', is not really problematic, in terms of the perspective I'm trying put forward here. On the other hand, statements that are 'too strong' (or 'too weak' possibly) or using terms in ways that aren't standard in mathematical discourse ... these sorts of things can make it feel like the ground is really slipping away as you try to learn other bits about a subject that, again, for many people is ... nebulous ... it's not (so) visual, tactile, ... it's very strange in many ways, early on.

That's the best I can do, right now, in response, I think.

You raise a good point, for sure. And I'm sure there are entire books, there are papers out there in the literature, etc. Personally, I can HIGHLY recommend books like Polya's "How to Solve It" ... as a starting point regarding 'math pedagogy'. That book is a gem, IMO, and gives some real insight into how to think and problem solving in general. And, it's a good gateway to many more resources and research into these areas.

As with everything human and 'complex', there's really no 'optimum' or chance of finding any such thing, I think. Avoiding the worst impacts ... essentially, in terms of opportunities and establishing bases etc., that's doing pretty well - raising children / 'new humans' is hard.

* Which is a way I've been trained to think, sorry if it's not a great model for you - kind of best I can think of off the top of my head and with limited time this moment

All good points, except he deliberately crashed it at a specific location. He carried out an action with intention and that intention was fulfilled. You're going into hypotheticals about a possible mistake.

I mean when you drive a car everyday you could make a mistake too. It's too fuzzy to go in this direction.
Which lawsuits, specifically?
The @CommunityNotes feature is genius but it's too slow on disinfo related to the Russia/Ukraine war and it doesn't work against people like AOC and Tucker Carlson who have big extremely loyal fanbases that mark notes as "not needed".
I think YouTube should take a similar approach and try to extract more from high value users to cover the costs of low value users. It’ll be easier to get a few thousand extra dollars from a music fan by bundling live interaction/events into YouTube than squeezing more ads into the bottom 1%.
Mr Feynman is well known (among other) for his work in the field of quantum electrodynamic theory (for which he won the Nobel price), his diagrams, his lectures and his work in the commission investigating the challenger catastrophe.

Are those the self-promoting drives you refer to?
He was CEO of X.com for less than a year and was fired by the board. Then they merged with the predecessor to PayPal, which was more successful. He become CEO of the merged company, but was again fired for poor technical decision making (among other things, he insisted that the company build on the Windows stack instead of Linux) before the company rebranded itself as PayPal.

So, technically he was never the CEO of "PayPal", just the company that became PayPal, and he got himself fired by the boards of both the companies that turned into PayPal. He retained 11% ownership of PayPal and ended up making a decent amount of money from the EBay acquisition.
Infrasound Signals of Unknown Origin Detected in Stratosphere
Safety is a big factor here. The basic trim for all entry level models includes driving aids such as proximity sensors, blind spot warning, backup camera, pre-collision warning. The changes required to integrate those features into the car are diverse and influence design. The net result is that it's not economically feasible to offer them as optional components on higher trims and the base price of all models goes up as a result.
> Exploration was not rewarded.

I found exploration very rewarding. I had a lot of fun finding my way on the island where I lost all my items. I remember seeing a Dragon flying through the sky which I thought was delightful. I found certain vistas to be rewarding as well. It's not rewarding in the sense that you're not going to be finding permanent upgrades to your character much, but it's definitely rewarding.

> Weapon durability is literal cancer.

This is a common sentiment but i feel like it's because it challenge's peoples normal expectations, not because it's a bad mechanic. Weapon durability in the game lead to a lot of interesting gameplay scenarios for me, where I lost a weapon and had to look for creative solutions. Altering the environment, using unideal weapons, or finding another way were all options rather than just trying to brute force it with weapons in every situation.

To me the weapon durability was a core mechanic to Breath of the Wild and it wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable without it. There's too many memorable moments for me where a weapon broke and I had to scramble to think of another solution. I think for people that like hoarding items and collecting better and better weapons it's obviously going to be frustrating when you're forced to be creative in the moment. Elden Ring's creativity comes with how you build out your character, while Breath of the Wild's systems encourage/force you to think of solutions to problems on the fly.

I couldn't disagree more about the soundtrack, though. Breath of the Wild's soundtrack is a masterclass in how to best take advantage of the medium. It blends in with the foley sounds and perfectly encapsulates the mood of the world. It can be at times desolate, but that's the point. It matches the themes of the game itself.

I doubt that would work. The bureaucrats who approve the applications would realise it was politically sensitive, and ask their politician bosses, who would say “no”. Australian culture tends to look down on special perks for super-rich people, to a greater extent than British or American culture does (“tall poppy syndrome” maybe), and if what you are talking about happened, the media and opposition politicians would make a lot of noise about it. You’d be more likely to get away with it with an exotic car that was less obscenely expensive.

Some kind of special vehicle for mining/construction/etc, that’s practical, no matter how expensive it may be, nobody is going to view it as a rich person’s toy, so no political gain from condemning its approval.

> This is an odd criticism as he was the CEO of PayPal.

He was an awful CEO of X (which is why he was forced out as CEO twice, and was never CEO of PayPal), too, which may be more to the point, and the successful product X named itself for after forcing himself out the second time was acquired (and was the occasion of his brief return) after Musk’s visions had failed.

> Why would it be important if he was an awful coder or not?

It probably wouldn’t, if he didn’t spend his time as CEO trying to do some other job instead. It’s not always bad if your CEO is doing some other role as well as being CEO, but its a doubly bad thing if they are doing some other role and they are a poor choice for the other job.
I am impressed by the fabrication technology for these heterogenous systems. It was already complex enough to fabricate a CPU, but chiplets require incredible precision for placing the die on the interposer wafer for soldering. And the coplanarity of the whole assembly is critical, else it will be impossible to effectively cool. It's incredible that any of it works.
Yeah, and you had an authoctonous whose family bankrolled him all the way up to the White House and all you got was the Second Gulf War! And daddy’s boy even managed to drive into the ground all the businesses that he laid out for him to manage. Musk’s track record is at least better than that
Has he really failed at Twitter?

Twitter was pretty awfully run even before he bought it. Their business metrics were absolute crap for a business of their scale and in the pandemic environment.

The jury is still out if new Twitter has failed or not.
> Inter Milan: Why don’t they have a shirt sponsor?

Even worse, when you dive into the "supply shocks" they were all in all fairly minor and tracked the decrease in demand. A lot of inflation is just companies using the excuse to raise prices and pad the bottom line.

Toyota's hybrid tech is and has been the best and most reliable for a very long time.

I think it's a shame that the EV regulations and incentives (at least in America) are not as friendly for traditional hybrids and plug-in hybrids. They have basically zero downsides compared to full ICE or full EV, and would still make a massive dent in emissions.

PHEVs in particular - most people are going under 100 miles a day, so there would be 0 emissions.

My point was that the models exist, people are fine tuning them and/or releasing open clones. There are models of comparable power to the state of the art without any controlling interest from a big tech company.

The Google memo covered this in detail and it was what makes me want to question the "AI is owned by big tech" angle.

FFS, once more for those in the back since people who don't understand how logic works keep pushing this dumb "point" on this board for various things:

"Successful technology was once argued against" is not evidence that "any technology that is argued against will be successful".

That should not be a hard concept to grasp, yet it seems to elude so many. A -> B does not mean B -> A. That's literally like day two of any class on formal logic, and only because the first day was spent discussing the syllabus.

zlib/gzip did not choose DEFLATE because it was the best algorithm. Rather it was, at the time, the only decent algorithm that could be implemented in a manner not covered by patents. (See the tragedy of LZW for why that was important.)

Rob Pike did not "clearly say" anything of the kind. You are badly distorting what he said. Maybe try reading it again without bias?

As for the rest of your post, you dismiss the study as flawed. Fine. But most of the rest is your candy analogy, which is also flawed. One could just as easily say that people like you like... whatever languages you like... in the same way that people like cocaine, because it makes them feel smarter than everyone else. Such "proof by analogy" doesn't say anything meaningful or arguable.

The one other thing you said is that "the language being good" and "being used" are two different things. But I have a different view of programmers than you seem to. They aren't toddlers with no self-control reaching for what's bad for them (or drug addicts either, in my flawed analogy). Programmers use languages because, despite their flaws, the languages are still better for their use case than the alternatives. You have to judge a language as a whole package - syntax, semantics, build-in libraries, third-party libraries, ability to find people who know it, help available on Stack Overflow, all of it. Go (and PHP and Java and C/C++) have significant market share because, for significant classes of problems, they still are better than the available alternatives.

I trust the people actually building stuff. They are the hardest people to fool.

A platform for everything, competitor to YouTube etc., but more centrist. I'm getting the impression that the whole placate-the-right "free-speech" thing was meant to get the people back from TruthSocial and get street cred.

The supply shocks of checks notes three years ago, were certainly unanticipated. But it's been three years now, and prices haven't come down even though supply problems are clearing up. So what's up with prices? Well, to paraphrase the old sportscaster Warner Wolf, let's just go to the quarterly reports! Around the all the industries profits are setting records while they reassure investors that supply chain price increases are immaterial, and have full expectation that customers will simply accept the new prices.

Doing something is objectively better than actively making the problem worse while pretending you have no responsibility.

More expensive cars are better for the environment if people start driving less or stop driving. But it's worse for the environment if people hold on to older cars, because they are less fuel efficient than newer models and release more fine particles in the air.
I don't personally have any special insight into the internal workings of twitter, but we don't need to rely on anecdotes to know that Elon is objectively not delivering on "Free, non-government controlled or censored speech":

> Twitter has fully complied with more than 80% of government and courts’ requests to remove or alter content since Elon Musk bought the company, up from around 50% before he took over, according to a report from the technology publication Rest of World, reflecting a discordance with the billionaire’s promises to limit political censorship.

This thread is a good example of how silly the debate has gotten.

"You're trying to tell me Musk's family is rich? He couldn't even pay for SpaceX himself, how could he be rich?!"

"I've put away some cash for my child to go to college, are you saying I'm as rich as Elon Musk?!"

It's all just so ridiculous. A lot of people here seem convinced that there are only two arguments to be made: that Musk is a spoiled trust fund baby that deserves no credit for everything, or that Musk was a hard-scrabble self-starter that did everything on his own. Maybe, just maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle?
