Writing sexy scripts also isn't toxic or harmful, and yet all the major closed models refuse to touch anything related to sex.

I think everything discord does is still outright better.
I was an IRC yser for a long time and I still have a znc server out there running, but:

Everything is painful.
Clients tend to be terrible and I cannot search at all in IRC, or I get weird integrations between znc and and the chat client.

All in all, i'd rather use discord than IRC, even with the downsides.
I do prefer forums or the "was" reddit for information.
i'm not interested in defending tobacco/cigarettes, but comparisons like this beg the question : do you see a difference between an addiction that leads to eventual chronic health issues/injury/death sometimes many many decades after first-onset versus an addiction that will many times kill even first-time users, and rarely allows for habits that last many decades?

if you want to compare the health crises, then divide the results by time to create an 'impact' score.

That's why we're focusing on opiates collectively.
> During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. appoints physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer and a team of scientists spend years developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their work comes to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witness the world's first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.

Literally from the description of the movie.

It promised work of Oppenheimer and team of scientists working on the Manhattan project. Instead it’s a shitty avengers rip off where Oppenheimer assembles team of scientists without any substance and literally no focus on Manhattan project.

I expected to see at least the Imitation Game level movie, not subpar plot focused on sex and politics.
The movie was about the man, not the bomb, which is why it focused primarily on a man, and not a bomb. The actual testing of the bomb was a small part of the movie and the real deployments of it were but a couple sentences. The movie Oppenheimer was never a movie about Hiroshima and while I think there needs to be more coverage in general about our impact on Japan by dropping those bombs, I think giving the movie Oppenheimer shit about it isn't reasonable just because the man worked on it. It covered everything from the his view point, and what he personally lived. He read about the bombs being used the same as everyone else, and it wouldn't have fit the movie to suddenly jump to Japan to show the impact of his work. It did however try to visualize the impact and eventual realization of what he had played a part in, in the visuals at the compound when he's giving the speech to the fanatical coworkers stomping their feet (which was very Aronofsky like imo)
This is a pretty poor equivalence, I don't think I need to detail all the reasons, suffice to say a life shortened by smoking is not the same as one destroyed by opiates, either in years lost or in quality of life. Smoking is a poor long term health choice and should be discouraged, it's nothing like what's happening with opiates.
Because solar and wind are a fraction of the capex and opex, have none of the risk or security headaches, more easily distributed (meaning less grid infrastructure) and don't generate nuclear waste.
My Xiaomi one has exactly that problem.

In general cars are quite lethal in aggregate but not once normalized for usage-- we drive an awful lot.
For what it’s worth this information was publicly available on the Internet in the mid ‘90s if not earlier.
As someone who loves Goodreads, I've largely ignored the "bad parts" such as what this article is describing.

I've seen these review bombs on plenty of titles once certain authors or books become heavily politicized. Sometimes decades after the fact of their published book.

You also see a general sentiment of people who want to voice their opinion on how bad books are to the point where they say "DNF" and thus leave a scathing review over a single chapter.

I don't know if there is a fix to this problem, but I do wish more people read the entire book instead of judging it by its metaphorical cover.
Automation is less intimidating than artificial intelligence and I wonder if it’s because it can still ultimately be controlled by humans.

We have robots at my work that have not replaced humans - but instead require one whole extra human to be present in order to correctly mount the robot into place for it to perform its job. The robot is incredibly precise but ridiculously slow.
I perceived the robot to be absolutely without a doubt, the dumbest and weakest link in our team - except for the fact that it’s precision is so great - there are long term advantages to using it that cannot be overlooked.
I’m not worried too much about job displacement due to robots (because the robots I see in use which in some cases have replaced a human in a particular role often require a human to be in a different part of the workflow ie, a human to mount the robot).

The thing I notice though, is that a lot of robots we use in my work, and certainly other automated things (like self-checkouts) don’t have that humanoid robot look that I think people expect robots to look like - so sometimes I feel like we don’t notice they’re really there - our robots at work are just other pieces of equipment - they don’t have arms and legs or when they do have an arm - it doesn’t look like a human arm.

Robots, automation etc - to me is not something to be afraid of in fact I think automation will lead to new jobs, more people are going to want to be computer scientists, engineers etc in future because that’s where the jobs will be, if you’re hoping to quit school young and just be a factory worker, you’ll be shit out of luck I suspect.
Strange nobody studied impact of adjuvanted vaccines on autoimmune diseases...
NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) is a precursor to glutathione, which is used up by your liver to break down the primary toxic metabolite of alcohol: acetylaldehyde. NAC is known as an OTC hangover "preventative," but don't take it chronically because it is a mucolytic and messes with other processes.

Aside: as a non-alcoholic fermentation, kombucha contains a lot of acetylaldehyde, so avoid it during a hangover.

I worked with military leaders and grew up under them. They will tell you immediately that your take is 100% wrong.

Here's what they told me about how that idea is just plain wrong.

No one in the military gets compliance or advances by threat of UCMJ or other discipline.

It ALL must be earned in front of your group. The leader is absolutely reliant on the members of his team and lead group, both for success of the mission and for his/her own position. Good leaders motivate those under their command by good example and good decisions. When this happens, everyone down the chain of command does their best to add value. When the commander gives a new directive. the 1st officer then steps up and starts adding details, and more all the way down the line to the lowest grunt.

In contrast, the worst thing that can happen to a commander is that s/he loses the respect of their subordinates.

Then, when s/he gives a new directive, the 1st officer and on down just say "yup, do what the commander said"; they do the absolute minimum and stop adding value.

At that minute, the chain on down is fully f'kd and doomed to fail, along with that segment of the commander's career. And yet the commander can do zero about it. Everyone is 'making the required effort', and no one is breaking any rules. But no one is adding any value and the commander cannot get it done her/himself. And trying to invoke UCMJ threats just makes it backfire worse.

That conclusion is easy to draw, but it is also exactly wrong. Which is why good military leaders often do exceptionally well when they move into the private sector.
At last the Internet back then was not the siloed dumpster fire of mass spying tech it later become.
I'm sure the maintainer would be more than happy to have the binary optimised. It looks like a passion project after all. Feel free to raise an issue.
I think this is called an "Oxford style" debate.

Use multiple models or gap their capabilities.
You could also do some adverserial training (basically iteratively attempt this attack and add the resulting exploits to the training set).

Research in machine vision suggests this is possible, and even has some positive effects, but it significantly degrades capabilities.
Why not use both? -er’s do stuff to things while -able’s get stuff done to them and use them as it make sense.

Agreed on the big value of robotics in the near term, but Tesla won't be the company to do it. Tesla will make an "affordable" humanoid but will struggle to get useful and robust autonomy out the door for the entirety of its offering.

They thing to keep in mind about the "Boston Dynamics approach" is that in order to solve the hardest real world problems, you need to do one of two things:
1) Overshoot the capabilities of the system so that it is robust when actually deployed subject to the uncertainty of the real world (e.g. motivating athletic intelligence).
2.) Grossly constrain your environment so that uncertainty is not a factor. This is (and has been) happening in warehouses and factories for decades.
Picking details from their profile is an attempt to discredit them without addressing their message. It’s a distraction at best, deceitful at worst.

They could be the stupidest idiot and still be right occasionally, and vice versa. So if you have issues with the point they are making, engage with the point instead of looking for dog whistles.

Also, seriously, you have to be in the US for antifa to be considered a bad thing somehow. I thought we decided back in the 1940s that we were all anti-fascists.
You’ve confused profits with revenue.

You asked for most revenue, not most profit. Ticket volume directly correlates, especially when one source accounts for 80% of the volume.

But I’m sure you have sources for your moved goalposts, right? Please, show me how commutes are the most profitable. Or most revenue. Or literally anything where they are considered “most” when it comes to air or HSR.

Once again, it’s ok to say you’re wrong about something. Doubling down by constantly moving the goalposts is probably the most idiotic way to make your point.
> context switch between threads is less expensive that switching a new process onto the core

But the overhead of a context switch for a thread and process is very similar. The main difference is whether memory is shared by default.

LA is by no means the worst that America has to offer. At least within a 1 hour radius you have a staggering population and amount of commerce available. People visiting LA from "average" places in the U.S. will note that it's really dense, about as dense as the outer boroughs of New York City. If it's "sprawling" it is not because it is uneconomical in the use of space but because the whole area that is habitable is crammed with people.

In Southern New Hampshire people drive almost as far although there is hardly anything to drive to. The confluence of Route 101 and I-93 south of Manchester is as bad as anything you'll find in a city 100 times Manchester's size leaving the question of where the hell all these cars are coming from and where they are going.

(The answer is that the population is dispersed over a large area with a hierarchical road network that, as much as possible, wants to be like your lungs. Thus you always get stuck in traffic at several bottlenecks on your drive that you can't avoid.)

I ride my carbon fiber road bike down the bike trail in the morning; when I drive home after a night of entertainment, I see laborers riding their bikes in the busy street to get home after a long day of work. I feel the irony deeply.

Isn't it all font dependent anyway? A lot of "non emoji" symbols get stylized like emojis in many popular fonts.
Reminds me a bit about how they milked Trump. All late night shows became Trump shows. And then ratings crashed when Biden came in. This is not the only time people see similarities between Musk and Trump, and how media react to them. Lots of similarities. It's a model of behavior now, and it'll be replicated again and again.
The cops had more time to spend on more significant issues seems to be the fairly obvious conclusion.
Of course, the difference between God and Elon Musk is that God doesn't believe he's Elon Musk.
His non-academic work is an unbroken continuation/extension of work he started as an undergraduate student writing about productivity for students before he was ever a researcher.

Your comment reads like he was just another researcher searching for gigs to supplement a meager academic income instead of being a human being with more interests than just his primary line of work.
Unsurprising and there will be no significant consequences.

Does this violate Stripe's ToS?
Hi all,

I have a pretty interesting product idea, but I've come to the conclusion that it's dependent on me being able to allow other developers to interact with my Stripe account via an API that I set up.

Fundamentally, this feels like it would violate Stripe's ToS, but I can't find any verbiage that specifically discusses this. I figure as long as I'm vetting the developers properly, it should be fine.

Does anyone have any opinions on this?
It's a little surprising to me that no company has come out with a 'healthier cigarette'. They could claim to do the acid washing and all the things mentioned in the article in their advertising. Probably without actually saying their cigarettes are healthier but instead focusing on what other companies don't do (the acid wash) and the cancer causing carcinogens their competition's cigarettes contain that their own do not.

That would hook people who enjoy smoking but also enjoy not dying. Even if they are just deluding themselves. It would at least get me (former smoker) curious.

I've also always wondered if Big Tobbaco was working to cure cancer. It would make business sense. If we cured the types of cancer that smoking causes... A lot more people would probably smoke. (Obviously there are other issues like emphasima).
I took 3,4, 5 and 6th grade math in 3rd grade. taught my self algebra and some easy calculus in 4 and 5th grade, then I went to math camp in 7th grade where i got credit for algebra 1 and 2 and took geometry and trig and precalc (passing some standardized test for each module). my school let me take BC calculus in 8th grade and then go to night school for math for 9th thru 12th grade. i was otherwise unaccelerated and had a pretty normal teenager hood.

i highly recommend it, especially for math where there is so much to learn; even by the end of undergrad, the newest math i was learning was from the 1950s and 1960s. plus it makes a lot of other things a lot easier to study. and it's fun to learn hard math; the years when i had to study math i already knew where really dull.

Smoking cuts your life expectancy by something like ~10 years. Most of those smoking deaths are people who've already smoked 30+ years; there's not a lot we can do to prevent those deaths now, even if they all stopped smoking tomorrow. They'd still get cancer and everything else at higher rates. We've also done a pretty good job at lower smoking rates, especially among young people. Sure, we can ban or restrict tobacco more (maybe we should) but the "public health crisis" is mostly done.

Opiate addiction cuts life expectancy by ~35 years. And getting them onto safer drugs would save lives very immediately. There's stuff that could be done, and everyone knows it, and it's not happening. That's the public health crisis.

edit: and, yes, also, opiates are also more socially destructive, due largely to the criminality.

30 years in & it feels like the internet hasn't taken a single step to moderating the moderators. The web has almost nothing here & that's kept us locked in this sad holding pattern.

I love the Web Annotation specification. Comment on anything on the web! Share those annotations! And it will let you select/target content in the page. But actually being able to annotate something like the discrete comments within the page, that feels missing.

Maybe good reads lets us view a specific comment by a specific author: there's a page for it. That we can annotate & mark up, in a way we can aggregate against that comment or that author. But if we're just browsing a list of reviews, there's a missing link in figuring out semantically what it is on the page we're trying to markup.
My initial thoughts (gotta help out a fellow Chicagoan):

* Let your resume be your landing page, rather than the recent work - save a click. And make your resume viewable on the web, with a PDF version downloadable. Point being, you want to reduce friction. As it stands, if you want someone to look at your resume, they need to (1) visit the site; (2) (i) find and then (ii) click 'Resume'; (3) locate the downloaded PDF; and (4) open it. Compare that to: (1) go to your site.

* I do not recognize any of the names on your 'Recent work' landing page. This may be a fault of mine as my field is not particularly IT-heavy . But for those who might be clueless, it may be worthwhile to briefly state who they are, or what type of work they do.

* FWIW, have someone look at it for grammar/spelling, and tell them to be picky. "Self-taught", for example. When people are trying to seek reasons to wade through tons of candidates, even the smallest stupid mistakes can be used as sorting criteria, under the umbrella of "showing attention to detial."

* I'm not sure if "self-taught" is something to advertise; I see the appeal, but if I'm someone anal, then I may wonder what holes that left. Self-taught means you only had to meet your own standards.

* Are you saying - with your education - that with your Bachelor's, you expect to enroll this fall? I would take this completely off your resume; it's not an existing skill, then. It also is going to leave a lot of people thinking that your focus will be split.

* Generally, overall, retool/rewrite a LOT of your items by backing up claims and orient it more as a sales pitch. If you are an employer, what version of this tiny little sentence would make you want to hire you? You don't want to just say 'experience in...', you want to say the things you did. "Shepherded six major projects in high-level companies from brainstorming to rolling out the door." You don't want to say what you're seeking, you want to say what you can do for the person looking at your resume.

* Some of your verb choices are very passive. "Acted as the developer of" -- no, it's "Developed". "Experienced in implementing a range of" -- "Implemented eight contant management systems" - use active voice and provide specifics.

Look into whether you want some items on your resume at all, given the impression they might give. The National Safety Council was a two-month gig; Thrive Creative was an eight-month gig. If you just HAVE to include it but there are things that explain it, incorporate it into your resume. "(Short-Term Assignment)", etc.

Time and time again this kind of civility check, often arbitrary, reinforces the existing social order and the everyday violence underneath it. But that's okay because if you don't pass the civility check, you are deemed undeserving of humanity.
