Even if you get a STEM education, at least at the undergrad level, it tends not to include anywhere near enough hands on research to learn much about experimental methods that would help you assess the validity of study designs when reporting on a new paper that just got published. And even when you have that, experimental methods tend to be extremely specific to the field of study.

I almost think it would be better if virtually everyone, even if you're not a STEM major, taking at least a course on hierarchy of evidence and how particular study designs attempt to demonstrate causation, along with some basic statistical literacy. But I was listening to a very good breakdown of the aspartame history this morning and the host was going on about criticisms of some of the early studies showing cancer in rats dealing with exactly how randomization works when you're dealing with multiple litters from the same gene line and why they usually terminate the rats early instead of waiting for natural death, and these are things you could never possibly know unless you specifically have a background in rodent studies. I was a biology major and still didn't know any of this stuff.
"Repatriation in this case was meant to mean returning something to the country of its origin"

Again you are misspeaking. The fabs weren't physically moved from the US to other countries, but rather people in the other countries built their own newer (and better) fabs. This Arizona fab, for instance, isn't something that was moved out that is being "returned" to its "country of origin". So it is more correct to say "rebuilding domestic capacity".

"It is simply the act or process of restoring or returning someone or something to the country of origin"

Again with "restoring" or "returning" you are presenting an arrogant attitude that these newer fabs somehow "belonged" to the US in the first place. I understand you don't intend it as a xenophobic way, but these language choices do matter, particularly when communicating in a global world.
That's pretty neat. It sounds like Java Card (or at least some other cards) actually "boot up" by way of inductive coupling, ie, via the "contactless" card readers where you just hold your card in proximity to the reader thing. Did not know that, I assumed it was just reading a key via NFC or something.
Kinda hard for evidence based. Maybe look into low carb diets. There are small studies for increase life quality and cognition (I do it).
Thanks - this is a great suggestion
Sorry, I meant to be more explicit there. I don't believe in "full productivity" in the search for things. You will, by necessity, waste some time.

Do try and make sure you aren't completely poking around in the dark. But also don't feel bad if you find out you were.

I do hate that I'm posting this in this thread. At large, I get the impression that the "coverup" is being blown out of proportion. I also can't deny that a lot of the dismissals earlier were heavy handed. Such that some topics and inquiries have somehow become toxic.

But, at large, most "quack" theories don't have to be fully dismissed by other scientists. They are more easily explained with other ideas. It can be frustrating for some of them, as I'm sure many are tired of hearing about "UFOs" and such. But for a lot of crazier ideas, the "dismissal" can quite literally be "that necessarily leads to enough other things that we are not seeing, that I just can't bring myself to believe it right now."

This does require, though, that asking the questions is not done in such a way to paint a contest. Try to build the questions in such a way to expand ideas.
YouTube and Medium are awash with scientists doing journalism- there’s plenty of supply.

Maybe the answer is that people without a STEM background should get out of science journalism?

The question mark is genuine- would this be a bad thing for some reason?

Not that scientist journalists don’t also make mistakes of course- I’ve seen plenty, usually due to covering topics outside their own specialty.
There are poor people in villages around the world that now have access to information they never would have been able to get had it not been for the development of smartphones, web browsers, the internet, and mobile networking technology.

That is prosperity. It might not be perfect, yet, but it is in the right direction.
I blow hot and cold on Dan Brown. I laugh at him as a writer, but there's not a book of his that I've read that I haven't enjoyed. He's like popcorn, hard to stop once you've started. And enjoying a writer's books often makes the even parodies sweeter.
The problem with AI generated actors isnt in the fact that they disenfranchise real actors, but in the purely capitalist direction studios have chosen to move. new characters, new actors, new stories and new roles all incur significant and unproven investment over time. building a hit --no matter how easy pixar makes it appear-- is nontrivially difficult.

so conversely studios have decided that ever more barrel-scraping is not only a more consistent effort, but a safer one as well. Hence there have been twelve star-wars films, five indiana jones films, Fifteen batman movies, and enough marvel flicks to rend dull groans from home movie collectors cabinets just pondering them. This is a downward spiral because people change over time but a franchise without end has nothing new to offer. panic buttons like gender swaps and race swaps come across as hastily constructed, hamfisted attempts to peddle relevance to an increasingly disinterested audience of gen Z while alienating older fans of a series. Scripts become more predictable, plots become more dependable, and all the while profit --while safe and quantifiable-- dwindles lower.

So AI is here to take that last bit of capital preventing realization of a purely and endlessly profit-driven effort by armies of disconnected studio executives clamoring for ever less pie. faces names places and likenesses in perpetuity, and in exchange, the customer can consume another dozen Star Wars movies just as flavourless as the packaging theyre shipped in. content will be created, until the last skywalker picks up the last light saber and delivers his 45th speech in which the dark side and the force are forever memorialized in a 90 minute recitation of the owners manual for some executives old porsche. traditional "hollywood" film will have died by its own pocked withered hand.

The new currency will become the ability to generate new content; ideas themselves. Fewer films but with greater quality and less reliance on enchanting special effects will command the attention of the consumer after these goliaths of the post-vaudeville cinema are gone. real actors and cinema will still exist to some degree but gone will be the days where actors championed themselves as stuntmen, pandemics arrested production, and studios could crank out endless rehashes of old properties until the last star falls from heaven.
If that is the case then why shouldn't the storage system hash the IDs itself, to spread them as it requires?
I love that this comment comes from someone who portmanteaud a Meyers Briggs personality type with the word “penis”. It so perfectly matches the tone that self reflection and understanding have taken place without losing the rebellious attitude that obviously got them in trouble in the first place!

It is astonishing how many people are saying that Nate Silver must be wrong here, because he is going "against the experts".

The damning comments are those made by the experts! But, because the disliked Nate Silver is involved, clearly the only fault is in the reporting of the comments.

This hagiography of anyone who claims to be a credentialed expert is contrary to everything Hacker News believed in a decade ago. Apparently the bozos are winning here.
Well perhaps this proves my intuition wrong. Is it OK to reduce a fever then? But how so if its purpose is to kill off something worse?

Clearly the media stakeholders had the narrative decided, and the journalists were forced to find the scientists that supported it and ignore or attack the scientists who opposed it

Same for politics reporting

The best way to stay informed is to read a book about something currently not on the news
This would be like Japanese manga industry in contrast to marvel/dc. U have so many one man armies who are working on so many different topics. The endless creativities are just unmatched. You could have a single person to create the media empire like one piece.

The manga space is much more interesting than typical comics. I'd love to see the same thing in the other media

People read text and trust it, yet know it was just written by a person. Many people fall for made up bullshit all the time. Why would realistic images suddenly be less convincing than written rumour?
Cynical reaction: With how over-worked and under-resourced most journalists are these days, we're lucky when they have sources who might maybe actually know something or other about the subject at hand.

Bigger picture: In the specific case of COVID, what might have helped most would be some really mature meta-journalism. A calm Walter Cronkite telling us that, for the most part, nobody was really sure of anything. Loads of "1mm wide, 1km deep" scientists were scrambling to do stuff outside of their usual niches, usually in a fraction of the time they'd normally need, and under all sorts of emotional and political pressures - which they had no experience whatever dealing with. The vast majority of 'em had zero experience whatever in communicating scientific results to the general public. And a small minority of 'em suddenly found that they loved the limelight - about the same way that some teenagers suddenly develop a taste for hard liquor - and would certainly not be sources of reasonable nor sober information.

...but with umpteen million people stuck at home during COVID, and consuming any & all available news about it - what incentive did the big (for-profit) media corporations have, to deliver any sort of sober, mature coverage?
> Let's say your boss, or spouse, received fake photorealistic pornographic images of you with your boss's spouse...

Let's say your boss received an anonymous email accusing you of being a pedophile. What's the difference here in the world where a deepfake is no harder to make than an anonymous email?

An anonymous email will probably be a hell of a lot harder to accomplish than a deepfake, actually.
A 135 photographic film frame (distinct from 35mm movie film) roughly has about 24MP - 48MP digital equivalent resolution.

That has a photographic area of 864 square millimeters.

70mm movie film has 3395 square millimeters. That's like 943MP - 1886MP digital equivalent, if we use the same standards as 135 photographic film frame.

There's no way you can replicate that amount of quality with digital cinema, at least right now.

IMAX is similar in size to 6x7 medium format photography, which only recently has been fully replaced by digital cameras. The cameras that replace medium format photography (usually used for stuff like magazine cover photos, high end product photography, high end portraits and other high quality still applications) range from the sony a7r4 with a 61MP sensor, hasselblad cameras with 100mp sensors and phase one with a 150MP sensor.

The digital video equivalent is 16K, which exists but it's just not common at all.
What I find amusing is that even when ChatGPT responds to my gaming questions I find the response to be unusually wordy with a surprisingly heavy into paragraph before it answers my simple question.

Surely AGI would also replace the owners because it would also be better at owning the means of production?

There’s basically two routes then, in science fiction: the AI decides humans are wasteful (men of iron / thinking machines), or the AI goes turbo-communism because it sees humans as pets and you take care of and provide for your pets.
I read Foucault's Pendulum several times. First time, I was about 13yo and I loved the story. Then I read it again as an adult and realized just how many subtle jokes and references I had missed upon my first reading.

Back in the day if you wanted to develop for PalmOS you had to pay Metroworks (IIRC) $~300 for their CodeWarrior C++ compiler, so the fact that XCode is free is a pretty big improvement.
I mean, it is no worse than many comics I have read. Or a lot of other, so called "young adult" novels.

Is it better than a lot? I mean, almost certainly is in the mix there. It did enjoy a lot of time in the spotlight in ways that somewhat surprise me looking back. I couldn't say how it caught the attention that it did.
No thanks. I'll run privately self-hosted llama on my phone.

Sharing data with OpenAI it's *irresponsible step* at this time of development.
So his use of Discord is “not voluntary” even though it doesn’t rank as one of the top 7 messenger apps?
Yeah, it's clear that this teacher cannot teach any more but they should at least receive a buyout.
Incorrect, the lab-leak theory was specifically disregarded using the well-poisoning methods you described as the blame would be shifted to a wild-goose chase. Considering China went through SARS 10 years previous with hundreds of millions of patients to examine, combined with the influx of viral research into the country after that period, it is by no means a stretch to assume duplicity was at hand. A for-profit medical response is a conflation of the kind you are suggesting should have taken place.
For some. My mother had a pretty solid biology and medical background before covering medical news.
In 1995 or so, I wanted to play with something not-Windows, but wasn't yet advanced enough in my degree to have access to my school's AIX setup. Bought a Slackware disk set, and a BSD (probably FreeBSD, honestly don't remember), took them both home. Slackware had drivers for my weird non-IDE CD-ROM drive, the other one didn't, and it's been nothing but fun since then.

Without Slackware, I would not have learned how to build a web server, wouldn't have learned about UUCP (which thankfully I haven't needed to use in about 20 years)... basically the entire course of my life would have changed.

(Entirely random aside: I returned the opened BSD disks for a full refund. Remember when you could do that without them assuming you copied the disks?)
It's running only a single thread, so I think the specs are a little less relevant. It takes about 80s per iteration and I ran the 4 iterations set by default, so a little less than 6 minutes.

"powerful-but-easy-to-code APIs for OS-level access" are actual hard-to-implement-right functionality that is often pushed to browsers with very little discussion or considerations.
"I'll put it up as a service; the protection of women from misogynist school administrations.

We've advanced beyond when women would be fired from teaching for getting married or becoming pregnant, but not much."

To be fair, we haven't heard of male teachers moonlighting as pornographers and getting fired for it. Until then, I would not call it misogynist...

I'm joking, but not really at the same time...
From my experience, the issue is generally related to passing complex data structures across FFI boundaries. For this, adopting a serialization format is nicer than say deconstructing each object into proper parameters, which really end up being very similar code to that which is generated with the serialization libraries.
How did deepfakes manage to accomplish that?
Thanks for making it! And that's great to know - I've always wondered
> There are also a lot of queries that SQL is awful at, like most things involving graphs. That's why things like graph- and time-series databases have market niches.

I don't really understand the graph database argument. "Graph" == "Joins" in my brain. I've also seen "Graph" used in place of "we aren't sure of our schema or generally what the business is even doing yet".

Time series is definitely a fair argument depending on the specifics, but I've never needed Cassandra & friends to get the job done.

The problem is that misclicks are not actually super valuable for the ad purchaser. So if Google changed their ad behavior and your bounce rate shot up, you (or enough reasonable customers) would reduce your ad spend to compensate.

Hyper-optimizing for clicks would eventually be noticed.
I watched his course on Masterclass and found it helpful in learning to write his type of book. I was impressed that he is very conscious of what he does, how he does it, and he's quite good at explaining it to others.
I also think people have a tendency to be unrealistic (with themselves and/or others) about why they were fired. I certainly know that in terms of the employees I've let go, the version of events they've told people that got back to me were pretty far from what actually happened. Maybe some of those people who were fired after being on a PIP really were unjustly let go to cut costs, or maybe it's just more comfortable to tell people/themselves that. And since the manager/company probably isn't talking it's a narrative that generally doesn't get challenged.
Myst, when it was released as the Masterpiece Edition, and its sequel Riven bought pretty much when it hit the shops. The places in those games feel like part of my personal history, somehow.

I actually tried this a couple of years ago, with disappointing results. I felt like I had to disable reader mode about as often as I currently choose to enable it, and life was no simpler. It seems that are many pages where one could use reader mode, but it's not really helpful - this very discussion page is an example. Reader mode is an option here, but it cuts off all the comments, which probably isn't what you want.

Hi! Thanks for building so many useful utilities!

I tried your TPMouse a few months ago, but had two problems:

1. I couldn't figure out how to remap F/E/R in grid mode to, e.g., A/S/D (left/middle/right). I tried editing the code but didn't get anywhere.

2. CapsLk G/Q didn't work for on my PC and the longer shortcuts were a bit too inconvenient for me.

Would you consider adding a brief document about customizing TPMouse to you repo?
Female Software Engineers and Startup Founders?
The tech industry is male dominated. And while people's sex/gender shouldn't matter, after a while one can't help but notice. Lately I've been wondering about the prominent female software engineers, programmers or startup founders that are out there and I realised that I know of none. Do you guys know of any? As a female teen who's interested in programming and who wants to found a startup one day, the gender disparity makes me more hesitant to want to go deep into the industry. So however cheesy it may sound, having people like me that I could "look up" to would make me feel more encouraged about my ambitions.
