The code has often already been peer reviewed. My take on this is, it would lead to more gatekeeping. More a hole reviewers rejecting papers because they don't like the way a comment is written, or because someone used a programming style they don't prefer.

If the code can't be reproduced 7/10 times it's because the author doesn't want you to be able to reproduce it so they can continue researching it. 1 out of 10 times it's because of an error, and the remainder is fraud.

It's also important to NOT require code be shared for some fields. I know of several companies who review papers for prominent journals in their field. They take results from papers they review put them in their software to sell and then reject the papers so competitors have no idea some new useful thing exists. It's not illegal to do this by the way, infact there's no reason not too with blind reviewers as far as typical businesses are concerned.

The crisis of reproducibility is the worst in biological sciences and becomes the best toward purer sciences. That's its own problem, I won't go too far chasing that down here... Scientific reporting is mostly flawed not because of "oh silly scientist you made an error" but because of the social factors driving it 9/10 times. People just won't admit it, because they'd lose their positions if they did...
>> Life in Warsaw Pact countries was not bad.

Did you live there? I did.

- Electricity rationed: we had maybe 3-4 days per week and mostly evenings and in winter. We lived in a medium sized city. Plenty of villages had no electricity whatsoever.

- Food rationed: You could buy meat twice a week. Bread? Once ever two days. We were lucky we lived close to nature so collecting mushrooms and fishing filled the gaps.

- Hot water rationed: You can get used to cold showers, I guess.

- Ethnic minorities were viewed as vermin (we were one).

- More and more school subjects were thought not in your mother's tongue.

- Roof? Sure we had.

- Lack of market economy? We had "illegal" movies, "illegal" rock music and some "illegal" western tech. There was a thriving black market economy.

- Your phone was constantly taped and listened on.

- You were afraid who you talked to, were afraid of your friends because they could be informants.

- Criminality low? Maybe in one aspect but corruption was through the roof. You wanted something? Bribe someone.

- There was also a pandemic of alcoholism and violent men towards their wives. My father and 3 of my 5 uncles were part of this statistic. So were thousands of others.

But yeah, life was "not bad".

> My growing distrust of soft sciences […]

The "soft sciences" are harder (more difficult) to do than the "hard" sciences in many ways.

Less evidence just laying about just waiting to be tested (archaeology, ancient history), non-deterministic subjects (humans), not easily reproducible environments (society). Quantum mechanics has it easy in comparison.

Is it any surprise that the consensus goes back and form a few times.

Even when the hard scientists have something 'simple' to study like the deterministic, macro-scale universe they still get it wrong: how long was the Big Bang Theory not taking seriously?
You do realise you’re saying “when I think of the worst aspects of a country, I am not thinking about the better parts of them”

Not trying to “whatabout” you here but you could construct a similarly dystopian view of most countries by only focusing on the grimmer parts of life there. In the USA this would involve school shootings, lack of affordable healthcare and housing, poor/forgotten areas, increased threat of violence from the police and the far right. If you focussed on those without any of the most positive aspects (freedom of speech as a constitutional right, good healthcare/education once you break into middle class, realistic possibility of becoming relatively well off, freedom of movement, gender and racial equality on paper) you’d think the country was pretty miserable too.

Again, this is not an attempt at a whataboutist change of subject, rather an invitation to reflect on what you’re saying.

I think it is really unclear whether it was legal or not (and comes down to definition of those things). Parliament legalised dissections of humans under some circumstances in the 1800s. Before that it was treated as illegal, but I don't think there was an actual statute against it (maybe it was the common law?). Some laws before that specifically allowed it in some circumstances though (you could dissect people convicted and executed for murder for instance). It's a mess...

TFA is a caution against accepting the results of a meta-analysis in a field where the typical research quality is low, because you can't realistically correct for all the underlying problems. I personally think you should be skeptical of meta-analyses in any field, because it is very, very hard to do one "correctly".
Yes that's what I had in mind. Interesting that they can get decent convergence even with 100x, considering that to get a decently accurate gradient in all D dimensions you need to sample D forward passes, and we are talking of D in billions, and each forward pass involves billions of FLOPs. And then it's still an estimate since, as you say, it is not an infinitesimal delta.

Interesting that it converges when just sampling one point in one direction per iteration.
You have to be careful with turning control dependencies into data dependencies. It can be very hard to understand or predict how a CPU will behave.

If you are testing quite predictable things, you almost always want to use branch prediction and not predicated/conditional instructions.

If something is totally unpredictable, let's say a binary search that is looking up random elements in a well balanced heap or tree. Each comparison is very unpredictable. A conditional select would work best there:

item = (val < item->val ? item->left : item->right);
if (val == item->val) ...

You could do your tree walks entirely without branch misses if that first line was a select... But it turns out that is not true. Or it's not necessarily true, depending a few (not uncommon) factors, it can be worse to use a select there.
This is a good point. I don’t think anyone is arguing that phones have zero benefit. Phones have benefits.

The argument is that the harm outweighs the benefits.

So it’s wonderful that your phone helped you. My experience is that bullies are using phones to bully and harass kids. For example, recording hushed calls in the bathroom.
There's only so much developer time and management focus. "This will help us cement our monopoly on software distribution without being too obvious to regulators" is a good pitch.

> was destroyed as thoroughly as possible, and the only proper accounts of it are Roman and Greek.

Physical destruction/genocide wasn’t really necessarily for that. Texts written on papyrus just don’t last very long. Nothing survives from the Etruscans either and the Roman never actively suppressed their culture as far as we know. People just stopped speaking the language and texts were no longer copied.

We know so much about many middle eastern civilizations exclusively because they were using clay tablets and liked making inscriptions on rocks. Had they used more perishable materials we’d know significantly less about them than the Carthaginians.

The odds of a school shooting, while sadly too high, are still too infinitesimally low to affect any planning you and your kids make.

Carrying a phone just because of potential school shootings is like wearing body armor for the same purposes.

> High blood pressure is often refereed to as the "silent killer".

True but checking your blood pressure is painless, basically free and so easy that one can do it at home with no loss of precision.

Speaking as someone with mild high blood pressure, I see people obsess over diets, physical activity, looks, that never go to the doctor or check for their health conditions and "cure" every discomfort/pain with painkillers or ibuprofen.

And they of course all have some advice to give to me to improve my condition based, of course, on some diet they read online or to try yoga or acupuncture (or whatever is fashionable at the moment) and totally ignore the fact that I've been checking my blood pressure for over 20 years, I know a thing or two about it, because doctors. Yeah... I am that crazy! I see doctors!

Once a year is more than enough for people that have never been diagnosed with anything and yet very few people regularly do it, even here in my Country where medical checkups are virtually free.

IMO the real silent killer is indolence.
Is this the "math" you're referring to?

> I have a friend who is a high school principal and as the article describes, far more young people are harmed (up to and including suicide) by phones than guns. The sexting, constant and relentless bullying, distraction, overall device addiction, etc does far more damage to far more kids than guns (as wild as that might seem).

Or perhaps it's the "thousands of adults" seeing Dave Chappelle? The parent had no "math," only talking points. But here's some actual data:

46 school shootings in 2022

27 school shootings in 2023, as of May 5

There are approximately 93000 pre college public schools in this country. All but one school shooting has been at public schools. That means the likely hood of going to a school where a shooting will happen (using the 2022 numbers) is ~0.04%. Ask any parent if a "one in a 2500 chance" that their kid will be at school during a shooting makes them feel good or bad.

Is that good enough math for you? Let the kids keep their phones. In the not-actually-unlikely-event that there is a school shooting, more phones is better. Make schools, which are mandatory (not like airplane rides) safer and we can talk about phones. Focusing on less important issues, backed by anecdata (my school principal friend says... blah blah blah) is a waste of energy that could be used elsewhere.

Yeah, I guess that’s my point. Most people use Swift for building apps, but anything else like servers or CLIs and all the tutorials go nowhere, because… most people use Swift for apps.

So yeah I had a similar experience. And Go is much more aligned with my use cases so hints are everywhere.

To be clear I still want to learn Swift. But the time investment is much, much greater.

Do any of those accusations have any actual meaning? How the hell can one colonize natural communities for one? Not to mention the blaring stupidity of "status quo = bad".

> That’s technically true of most domain names. Bing would be more accurately named “bingsearchengine.com”, Apple would be “applecomputers.com”, etc.

I don't think that really holds true. Native is an association with a specific location, if you don't have the location in there it means basically nothing when exposed to a global audience. It's certainly true that if this was only exposed to US audiences (as it clearly is when shown in person as has been your experience) that it wouldn't be of any use to include a more specific location in there, but the web is global

I assume you haven’t supported a twenty-year-old website entirely encoded in KOI8-R—the ability to occasionally just set LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R can be invaluable, and the same caveats would apply there.

Granted, I don’t think modern Python versions will even run properly by default under such conditions. (ETA: Ah, no, I was thinking about PEP 528 and 529, and those only apply to Windows. So dunno.)
There is plenty of documentary footage available of life in the USSR and in the Warsaw pact countries. It’s just most people won’t have seen it because it’s rarely that interesting, it doesn’t portray some dystopian nightmarish hellworld[0] (nor a communist utopia), it’s largely just sort of mundane, ordinary and familiar. What I saw of Czechoslovakia, for example, looked not dissimilar to much of the UK.

Maybe I look like I'm going to bat for the former regimes in these countries but I promise I'm not. It's a really interesting topic and while I can understand if those who lived during this time wouldn't want to relive it, I also wish it wasn't just lazily dismissed using stereotypes by much of the rest of the world (you're not included in that, you seem to have some interest and knowledge on it)

[0] - yes there was KGB/StB/stasi, suppression of opposition and other brutal things. I was in a former secret police prison just this weekend so I’m keenly aware of that.
Yes, thank you. I mean, let's have a bit of context.

I'm Mac based (well, my computing is, I'm still biological ;) ) and I took an interest in what's happening in the AI space. Knowing that RAM and CPU would be bottlenecks but that there would be open source ways to run stuff, I got a Mac Studio, which is M1 Ultra and 128G of RAM, which then becomes also GPU RAM because on M1 the architecture is like that.

So I'm able to do AI stuff up to the heavy-lifting stuff (still steadily downloading LLaMA data on my old DSL, but I've got everything but 65B and have run 7B, 13B and 30B without issue, and of course I'm having no trouble running Stable Diffusion stuff)

If a basic laptop with just an M1 and laptop amounts of RAM can do 15 fps at 1400x900, my 20-core M1 Ultra with 128G of RAM ought to do at least that at 3840x1600 on my big ol' curved monitor. And at that point it starts acting like the PC gamer experience, except at no point did I set out to make a gamer-specific system. The whole thing was put together to serve very much other purposes, and retains usefulness for those purposes.

I'm sure I can tolerate pleb tier 30 fps or not being on Ultra settings or something, to get performance that's very similar to decent gaming rigs on games designed for Windows PCs, on a machine I got to serve entirely other purposes.

> Plato and Plutarch, _in themselves_, are not great evidence for this.

Why? That’s more evidence than we have for many other things we ‘know’ about the ancient world. We often have just a single source written down by somebody less reliable than Plutarch or Plato.

I mean we’d find something corroborated by two ancients authors sufficient for most other events which weren’t as controversial (purely from a modern perspective)

The toolkit is not part of Apple platform apparently. It is a development tool that can be used to evaluate porting no more no less. I see no changes in the platform itself.
As stated, it does replace TVs for my household. Two headsets would replace two TVs, 2 sound bars, 1 monitor. When friends come over we play board games or hangout. I don’t watch movies with friends at my place. We talk about shows we’ve seen but we don’t watch together. When people come over it’s about interacting with them.

We will see whose vision for the future is correct. I don’t think your view is broad enough to see possibilities for how things can change and evolve. The criticisms I’ve read about the headset make me think of Ballmer laughing about the $500 phone or when he discounted the iPad and when he talked about Apple making a laptop without a DVD player. I remember people saying the iPad was just a giant iPhone.

This thing might flop but I hope it doesn’t because I’d love to get rid of TVs, sound bars, etc.
