In addition to health and digestive issue, artificial sweateners normally have 2 significant issues:

1) Taste is about how molecules bind to taste receptors on yhe tongue. Just because a sweatener binds to the sweet receptors, doesn't mean it won't also bind to other receptors. This gives them a different flavor profile than sugar, which needs to be balanced in the overall recipe.

2) Sugar does more than just bind to receptors on your tongue. Mix confectioner's sugar into water and you a glaze. It is still just sugar, but has a distinct look and feel. Or, just coat your confection with powdered sugar directly. It is the same surgar, but produces a completely different sensation in your mouth.

In baking, sugar tends to make food softer. In sauces, it acts as a thickener.

Putting aside the whole question of debate this is a such a fascinating misunderstanding of what Yeshiva is. It’s so close and yet somehow entirely wrong. I don’t know if I could explain what happens in Yeshiva in a way that would any sense to this crowd, but I can affirm it is mind bending, and I have never felt more exhausted than when I was in Yeshiva. No amount of work, physical or mental since then has come close.

I mean detecting "bad" prompts (a prefilter) or responses (a postfilter) and penalizing users for submitting the kinds of queries that generate bad responses. This would be outside the llm itself.

It specifies "the Internet" and doesn't seem to define the term.

> I think this an attempt to champion the idea of rhetoric as a virtue, in the face of arguments made in bad faith.

I'm legitimately not sure whether by "this is an attempt" you're referring to critiques in debate or the article.

In practice, for better or worse very few of the people who use critiques in debate are true believers. Even if they're leftists taking a generally leftist approach, a Marxist is likely to take up an Afro-pessimist position or vice versa for tactical reasons. Exactly the sort of "have to defend the opposite side with equal logic and vigor" you commend is involved - only rather than just two sides, the sides include "X would have good consequences", "X would have bad consequences", "you're doing good/harm by talking about X", "X is on/off topic for this year's resolution", etc.

As for the article - it may be attempting to defend the virtue of being able to effectively defend opposing points of view, but it's doing so in a confused way at best. Just to give a couple examples:

> Even if they’re not advocating for kritiks, in order to succeed at the national level, debaters have to learn how to respond critical theory arguments without actually disagreeing with their radical principles

It is indeed often more effective in debate to respond to a critique by denying or reversing the (often tenuous) link to what you actually proposed than to try to refute an ideology wholesale, but that burden is entirely consistent with the mentality that learning to "defend the opposite side" is valuable. And even so the premise here is wrong - at least when I was doing this <redacted> years ago, it was by no means taboo to simply counter-critique at the ideological level instead.

> This drives out students who don’t want to learn about critical theory

It's true that competing at the national level in high school or college debate demands quite a lot in terms of research and preparation. It's not, however, clear to me why it would be better to drive out students who refuse to advocate views with which they disagree (the mostly-straw critique debater) but are willing to actually prepare to face them, than to drive out students who are unwilling even to prepare to refute a certain category of argument.

> High school debate has become an activity that incentivizes students to advocate for nihilist accelerationism in order to win rounds

This is silly hyperbole that suggests (a) Slow Boring could use better editing and (b) the author would have benefited from actually trying to engage with substance of some critiques, such that they might be able to distinguish Karl Marx or the afropessimists from Nick Land or the e/accs...
Because, like almost everything else in the US, we treat students according to their class position.

If you want to write who invented the algorithm and there is one asian invention in 1303 and one by some eueopean in 1803 then leaving out the asian inventor is actively harmful to the encyclopedia as it distorts truth.

This article to me just tries to raise awareness for the fact that our western history of who invented what is often incomplete and sometimes simply wrong.

Historians right now have the unenviable task of considering how the history they work with has been distorted by racism (e.g. by playing down the role of certain people with the "wrong" race and instead attributing things to people with the "right" race).

I'd like an encyclopedia to list all inventors of something even if they are not known in my culture — preferably in my own language as well, but that is a different topic.

FWIW, I prefer the taste of Coke Zero and Pepsi Max to regular Coke/Pepsi.

My wife had never tried Coke Zero before we met and she also prefers it now.

Not sure what they use in these alternatives but Diet Coke/Pepsi taste pretty bad so it must be a starkly different artificial sweetener.
The article you linked doesn't mention anything about Korea not having won any Nobel prizes, though?
Same here. After years of drinking Coke Zero, I find regular Coke undrinkable.
Similarly, however - urban cores want suburban business without having to deal with the low tax revenue of actual bedrooms. The city of Chicago is instructive, the city is (very slightly) subsidized by suburban consumers and tax revenue. The big trick here is making suburbs without allowing the endless continuation of exurbs
A lot of the time when I crave sweet things its not for the sweet taste itself that I’m after, but for the sugar itself - e.g. after / during a long day with lots of learning new things / making decisions / tough algorithmic work etc.

I’m after the mood boost that sugar itself provide, the quickening of thinking that you get from it. Eating substitutions for me kinda misses the point, like if they replaced 50% of it, I’ll just need to consume twice the amount to get the same effect.

Also I’ve noticed that at least for me if I live active enough life (cycle to the office) and eat sweets during the day when I actually need it most, I can eat them every day and it will not negatively affect my body. Though I still try to make sure not to do that of course :)

Its just that I honestly don’t get the whole search for sugar replacements. I guess the idea would be that if you’re addicted to sugar, having a substitute would allow you to wane off of it more easily, kinda like a nicotine patch?

But still I would use sugar for its other properties not the sweetness itself, so what would I replace it with?

Some IRC channels may have the same policies around bots, but IRC doesn't force you to use a bot to have logs.

The Apple Pencil is designed for extremely low latency and high accuracy to make it feel as close to writing on paper as possible. The API offered to developers presents predicted digitizer points and retroactively updates them in subsequent frames because even the latency introduced by a standard 60/120Hz draw loop introduces cognitive dissonance - your brain can tell something is off if you wait for the next frame update.

People are making a lot of bold claims with absolute certainty without so much as a test rig... how they can determine that such precision doesn't require any calibration or that using the old controller with a new screen is "accurate" is a very interesting question. I'm not sure drawing a few lines in one app is sufficient to draw such strong conclusions.
Also many are written by very new programmers. There’s a Minecraft mod out there that I wrote in my second semester of college for a Minecraft server with at the time hundreds to a thousand concurrent players. As far as I could tell all the other mods on the sever were also written by college students. Talented college students but still. As far as I know it’s still bouncing around in the open source world and being used, but I definitely didn’t know what I was doing then and it is by far the largest bit of Java I’ve written

Just as a point of reference, aspartame is considered to be 150-200x sweeter than sugar.

355ml Coke Cola has 39grams of sugar

355ml Diet Coke has 0.2grams of aspartame

Over in the programming world, Common Lisp allows you to return multiple values without wrapping them in a container. If you want the primary value, you just treat the function as if it returned one value. If you want additional return values, you use multiple-value-bind.

(I believe the general idea is along these lines: your function does a certain amount of computation, producing a set of related values. Most of the time, the caller will be interested in just one of those, which you return as the primary value. But some of the time, the caller will be interested in more than just that one value, and you have to compute the secondary values whether the caller wants them or not, so you return those too.)

For a different example of formalism in math, it is conventional to say that there are two boolean logical operators, negation and implication. You can still write about conjunction and disjunction, but everyone understands that when you write "p and q are both true", what you really meant to write was "it isn't the case that the truth of p implies the falsity of q". The point of the formalism is that you can do your proofs by considering negation and implication and then ignoring everything else. (It isn't conventional to say that there's just one logical operator NAND. You might think that would be even better, but the effort saved by only considering how one operation works ends up being less than the extra effort involved in doing proofs about NAND.)

The situation with functions is more or less the same thing; at many points we want to rely on the assumption that when a = b, f(a) = f(b). So we define functions that way, and functions that give multiple values have to be treated as giving a single composite value instead. But in a context where you have some value a and what you want to know is "what is f(a)?", the fact that the answer may consist of multiple values won't bother you.

Now, I have never seen someone take the position that boolean conjunction and disjunction don't exist as concepts just because that is how logic is normally defined, but the analogous position seems to be more popular for multiple-valued functions.

What one typically finds is that kids good at X, are interested in X. You can't force them to be interested, but you can offer opportunities to see if they are.

Some kids just won't find math interesting, and likely will just barely pass the requirements in school. And you as a parent can't change that.

And to be honest, it's not the end of the world. I know plenty of successful people who are terrible at math.
According to this article[1] from 2022 at higher concentrations it has a reduced sweetness response and leaves a lingering sweet taste. Supplementing it with real sugar means they don’t need to go to higher concentrations.

Countries at "income of about 2,500 per capita" are not exactly known for their car infrastructure. Moreover, by necessity with low car ownership they cannot have car-centric cities - most people don't have cars. I mean have you been to Hanoi or Belize City, or some place similar?

Yet, despite crappy roads, short distances and chaotic traffic (and good climate, in many cases), people get cars as soon as they can afford them - instead of staying on bikes and mopeds that they are already otherwise using. Until, if IMF is to be believed, they reach 0.85 cars per person.

Hmm.

I don't think the rhetorical appeals to anger, hate and fear that are the hallmarks of genocidal leaders are learned in a debate class. They're low-level schoolyard bully stuff. They're exactly the sort of thing that's tempered by the conscience you develop if you are exposed to new ideas or have to argue something that's strange to you. Hateful rhetoric drives, and is driven by emotion. So is loving rhetoric. If you find you have to defend some group of people you previously had a loathing for, there's a fair chance you'll start to see things from their point of view, if only because it's human nature to become emotionally invested in what you're arguing about. (Check out any stupid bar fight where both sides know they're wrong, but are completely emotionally invested).

Yes, speech is a tool and a weapon. We should call out arguments made in bad faith; but we need more people who can identify them to do so.

I suspect you slightly under-appreciate how ubiquitous sugars are in nature. Glucose and its close relatives are everywhere in plants. Cellulose, the main building material of plants, is polymerized glucose. A ton of various substances of plant origin are all pre-built to interact with sugars, and may have trouble interacting nicely with severely different kinds of molecules.

I've always been fascinated by these trace alcohols. They are very rarely talked about. Some people will say 'alcohol is alcohol' but that's actually incorrect. Alcoholic drinks are bioactive concoctions made of organic materials with multiple active ingredients-- the hops in beer for example has a slight effect on cannabinoid receptors which is why beer tend to makes one sleepy. Like you said there are a lot of trace alcohols as well. People report having different effects from different alcohols-- vodka can be numbing while wine feels more relaxed, etc.

By categorizing an inventory of these trace alcohols and their effects, one could hypothetically create customized alcohols with varying effects and levels of metabolic load. These trace alcohols are also called fusel alcohols. A lot of these are very weird chemicals with varying effects, though, not all positive. Propan-1-ol is a fusel alcohol that is thought to be 2-4 times stronger that alcohol and similar in effects, but can lead to high anion gap metabolic acidosis as a lethal side effect. So there are likely safe maximum levels of each fusel alcohol that can actually be added. Fusel alcohols are something brewers take great care to avoid, after all, as they can cause many negative effects. There's something interesting there and I'm surprised no one has pursued this before(AFAIK)
