Brainwashing doesn't require washing either - it is an incredibly misleading term.
A lot of people talk about the money, but here's some other factors:

Schedule - shifts start at 6AM or earlier. I knew a guy who worked concrete, he'd have to show up at 4AM to load the mixer. I knew another guy who majored in construction management, he said they had a 6AM class every day. The theory was if you couldn't make it to class, you wouldn't make it to work either.

Consistency - I knew an electrician who was constantly in and out of work. He was either working 70+ hours a week or out of work for 2-3 months. The construction industry is very boom or bust.

Drug Testing - the same friend who majored in construction management told me that something like 60% of their applicants failed a drug screen (almost always marijuana). The crazy thing is that he claimed they didn't actually care - their insurance company insisted on it. THC stays in your urine for quite a while so a positive test doesn't necessarily mean you're high right now, but people just wouldn't stay clean long enough to clear it.

Safety - Others have mentioned it but between the day-to-day wear and tear and the risk of accident, it's tough on your body. Not many people over age 50 still work in construction trades, unless they're at Master level or have moved to management.
> but Twitter/X's user base will almost certainly increase

Genuine question but what are you basing that on? I feel like most big social media platforms that have been around for years Twitter/X is probably at or very near it's peak of users (discounting new people getting old enough to be interested). At this point everyone has an idea of what Twitter/X is and if they are interested they've almost certainly tried it because it is a very easy thing for them to try.

Reading news about a shitfight over a sign isn't going to make any meaningful number of people go "You know, I've been hearing about this social media platform in the news for literally years now, including constantly during a US presidency (at least if I am in the anglosphere), and this bit of news about a kerfuffle involving a sign on one of their buildings but isn't about the site itself has actually made me really interested to try it, even though all that news about stuff actually happening on the site itself didn't.

I was surprised how in California you can advertise marijuana. That’s unacceptable.

Here's a diagram to help explain your point: https://etulipa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/lightreflexti...

Sure.

Honestly I’m don’t feel qualified to evaluate the study.

It attracted my attention because the risk factors for melanoma are different than other skin cancers. A smaller number of severe sunburn incidents is correlated with melanoma while
ongoing exposure to more moderate sunlight drives other cancers. We already know that the palest skin types (ie your redhead relatives, etc) are at higher risk than even slighter less pale people.

I hope there’s more research and we learn more about ways to help bend the risk curve.
He may have misunderstood or lied but I can tell you I clearly know the difference between cannabinoids and I have purposefully gotten very high off of CBD alone many many times. Probably more than a hundred. I don't know if it takes specific conditions, because I don't know why it's said so frequently that it doesn't get you high.
I don’t disagree, but fools will still be fooled. And there are a lot of fools. I do wonder what it means for the future of the internet. I don’t think net good is coming out of this.
I never really liked coffee, but I drank it at work just as a pretext to talk to other people.

I didn't have a coffee maker at home at that time. So I started getting headaches on Sunday. I made the connection eventually, after my headache completely disappeared 20 minutes after drinking a cup of coffee with a friend.

This appears to be a pretty common scenario.

IIUC this gives a random distribution between 0.0 and 1.0 but it is not a uniform distribution. There are more results near 0.0 and 1.0 than near 0.5. If you use this function twice to draw random black points on a white square, the corners will look darker than the center.
While fraud is always possible, so far I'm not getting fraud vibes. I'm really rooting for an eventual outcome somewhere between: "These guys are an experimental mess but damn it seems to kind of work" and "It's not a room temp superconductor but it is something new, interesting and maybe even useful."
J.F. Sebastian? He's suffering from a genetic condition that causes him to age prematurely (ironic, since he's a geneticist who designs replicants and simpler creatures). He failed the medical screening required for off-world living, and thus is confined to life on Earth.

I'm afraid I disagree with your claim that J.F. is "suffering serious cognitive decline" due to his life on Earth. To the contrary, his confinement on Earth is not the cause of his psysical decline, his physical condition (genetics) is the cause of his confinement.

Some days I wish I could just run DFT on everything and have it spit out the ones with "interesting" results and then patent those. Unfortunately, this is not feasible (computationally) nor likely to produce very many true positives.

I wonder if you could troll theorists into doing simulations of just about any substance by publishing convincing-looking papers in arxiv. Scratch that: we know it's possible.
Tangent, are there any other similar alternatives to sweep that is not restricted to github but can be installed in other places like gitlab, bitbucket or even self hosted.
Unequivocally yes… which is why I wasn’t surprised when the first publicised reproduction involved a tiny grain, why the big pressed pellets seem to be staying put, why people are suggesting breaking the samples up, and why the original pictures/video showing the levitation that kicked all this off, is an oddly shaped sample that sort of looks like it flaked off a larger piece.

Smash the samples… see if any of the grains float… (it’s becoming a bit of a refrain on Twitter whenever a big chunky pressed pellet sample is published as a failed replication) … it won’t be hard to improve the process and try and get larger contiguous samples that show the effect once we know for sure that it’s actually happening even if it’s happening in smaller more obviously superconducting samples, be it the size of a sand grain or a grain of rice, as long as it’s clearly a room temperature superconductor… once we have more samples… the analysis experts can get stuck in, there’s a global army of analytical experts… crystallographers, spectrographers, and all the sub disciplines of analytical chemistry… with clearly superconducting samples these people can swing into action and work out what the magic is and what we have to do to make more and bigger floating rocks.

That's what happens when there's no liability. Even if you're a billion dollar corporation, you can just slap some standard legal boilerplate disclaimer on the license agreement and absolve yourself of all responsibility even when hackers pwn the private information of your customers. They can't complain since technically the contract says there were no guarantees.

Some version if this legal boilerplate can be found in virtually all software licenses, including open source ones:

Start holding developers and especially corporations directly accountable and liable for any problems and I guarantee they'll start respecting it the very next second.
There's a button on ChatGPT in my iPhone app that allows me to switch it to microphone mode rather than needing to type it. An off screen tap and you can get the results.

I'm sure that some people have hooked up the whisper model so that it can tap a desktop audio out and feed ChatGPT too.
It really depends on how large the book is. I believe that when you first open the book the remarkable has to render all the pages, that way the page content doesn't drift as you navigate between pages like on a normal e reader, but you can't do that with something that you annotate based on pages and location on the page.

Beautiful patches of grass must have some value to weary passerby's eyes.

The responses to this comment illustrate how badly such things are needed.

What's so frustrating about all of it, is I agree heavily with the sentiment, but it's like saying a house is badly built because the sky is too heavy. No it's because it's made of cheap wood and bad angles, and you can't get anyone to change that if you don't understand and just go with your gut, ignoring hundreds of years of history.
I agree with that. It was surprising to me how easy it seems to be in the US to get by as an undocumented worker, compared to in many places in Europe for example. It's also surprising how mandatory eVerify hasn't been rolled out in all states, despite being in existence for more than 20 years.
Stop using the Canadian training corpus.

(Sorry)
I confess I don't know what you are saying here. :(

I should also ack that I do actually subscribe to some twitch channels. I have no problem saying that these things are growing. Most evidence I am seeing shows not that they will supplant the old guard movies, but will grow along side them.

This is not much different to video games as entertainment. I remember concerns that they would somehow replace physical sports. If that is still a concern, it is hard to take seriously. Traditional sports have continued to grow to unheard of sizes.

Does this mean that hollywood and the like have nothing to fear? Not really. But licensing on movies and broadcasts being what they are, they have quite a moat on things.

But why? The base materials are cheap and easily available, and the synthesis process seems rather straightforward. Why don't they have kilograms of this stuff by now?
> I wouldn't be so sure. This whole industry works on having defaults that most people just accept. It's quite easy to set up an ad blocker, and yet most people just don't.

That's totally possible, I just expect the regulation would kill many services unless the regulation is either full of loop holes or uninforced (or both)

> This is the standard FUD about anything that's "different" or creates a modicum of requirements on companies. They're already publishing APIs for the proprietary apps to use.

That isn't FUD, requiring API access absolutely adds to business costs and overhead. You need to document the API, test it, security audit it, etc. Sure these should be done already but they rarely are. I've seen plenty of companies that largely ignore these tasks when it's an internal API onyl, believing that shipping fast is more important and the obscurity of an undocumented API is itself a layer of security.

I'd be extremely impressed to find literally any company with an internal-only API that is proepryl tested, documented, and audited. I'd be even more impressed if they worried too much about versioning and backwards compatibility beyond the scope of what it takes to update their own consuming code.

There are still huge gray areas to define in anything similar to your proposal, writing laws with loose definitions and purposely building in unanswered questions is worse than having no laws at all.

Is the legal requirement only related to the API surface available? Can I rate limit all unique users, even to say one request per hour, day, or year? Can I code my API in any way I deem fit, like a Soap API or one with an obfuscated API surface that runs through a random RPC protocol? Do I have to follow semantic versioning or similar?

Regulations can't just be thrown together on a whim. That's how we end up with confusing laws and overpaid lawyers trying to game the system in favor of the person with more money. Laws should always be clear on what is being deemed illegal, why, and what the punishment is.

> when used by someone without a firm grasp on reality

Implicit in this question is the idea that everyone viewing the thread is on the same page about why the person is spewing racist crap. This is never the case.

Imagine you stumble upon a brand new forum, where you know nothing about the regulars or years of built-up social dynamics. You find someone making racist remarks, and everyone is just... fine with it. You have finite time before you die: you're not going to wait around to see if there's a good reason for it. The reasonable thing to do is write it off as a forum that tolerates racism and move on with your life.

What do you want to do, flair people with "kind of crazy, don't worry if they say racist shit sometimes" labels? How are you planning to verify these people and tell them apart from people who just want to say racist shit? I guarantee there are a lot more of those than there are Terry Davises. This is, to put it gently, not scalable.

I've seen this is at small scale, too. Tolerance leads to the problem getting worse over time. You need to stand up for your rules of conduct, and hope the offender learns the right lesson from it. If not, that's not your responsibility. Your responsibility, as a group leader or admin, is the environment everyone shares.

I'm not a material scientist, but I've spoken with folks who do advanced vapor deposition and thin-film synthesis for high-temperature superconductors (the ones that work at liquid-nitrogen temperature).

It's basically witchcraft-adjacent, with so many variables that getting everything right is an art. That's why we're only now getting practical high-TC superconducting tape, even though the original materials were discovered in 80-s.

The best way right now would be for the Korean team to send their sample to a reputable lab for testing. Once its properties are verified, labs can start deconstructing the process.
My pleasure. Once I sell the tugboat company, I intend to write up some lessons learned about the ways in which building my software consultancy did not prepare me for managing pirates.
Yeah, I am quite sympathetic to why the foot has been hard down on the pedal: there was an enormous amount of catching up to do, and the biggest competitor is (a) free to use and (b) extremely well-funded by one of the largest tech companies in the world… but also, my text editor needs to be rock solid.

For other readers who happen along, I will second the recommendation for Cot. It had fallen out of my day-to-day usage for uninteresting reasons, but it is a great very lightweight and very fast little editor!

I think a valid question is does China actually want the US dollar shift? Wouldn't it be trouble for them too?

Anyway, maybe I misunderstand what you're saying, but I think you're exaggerating it. The claim is pretty restrained, only that internationalization would be "faster". It's not saying it can do it overnight.

You're right that the structure makes it accountable to the people, and it fears losing their mandate. But to suggest it's on the precipice of disaster would be false, and seems like a consolation to avoid facing the uncomfortable reality of shifting power. If anything, they've shown their ability to deftly handle a series of challenges and make competent successful decisions over decades.

It's painful to view that if you see them as adversary, indeed, but if you want to compete you have to view them realistically, not through rose-tinted glasses of a consoling delusion of their imagined decrepitude, no offence!

But maybe I'm straw manning you and boxing you in with all those "China-crash hopium" conspiracists, I'm sorry! How have I misunderstood you?
It's not at all clear mass production of nuclear power plants will reduce cost. This has not been demonstrated. It runs counter to economies of scale from large power plants.
IANARS either, but testing for various known or likely causes of toxicity [or other harms] is generally a good thing to do with an unidentified object, regardless of how likely it is that test comes back positive.

if it was toxic, and nobody had bothered to test it because there were barnacles on it, that'd be pretty dumb.
The problem there is almost certainly people using "efficient" when they mean "fast" or "productive." Easiest example for that, in the past, was people mistakenly thinking gas stoves were more efficient than electric. Not even getting into induction, which can also be fast, the standard electric stove tops were far more efficient than the gas counterparts.

So, my guess on why people don't use this is that they can get more output from other designs. Even if they are "less efficient."
Sure I totally agree we don't actually implement free markets, whether right or wrong we decided they are too idealistic and some level of regulation is important. That just means we don't have free markets though, not that the definition of a free market should be changed to match what we have.

It's the same problem with communism. No country has actually implemented Marxism or communism, we only have countries ruled by oligarchs and/or monarchs that call themselves communist because it sounds better. I'm not saying I think communism would work, but we've yet to see it actually tried at the state level.

I see zero in the GP about social effects. Their comment is addressing (alleged) health concerns and form of consumption.
> Most U.S. foresters, [Lohrengel] says, are trained to cut the best trees and leave the sick ones behind. The result is a forest with deteriorating genetic stock. But the Menominee are “doing the opposite, and making the forest healthier.”

> “We come in every 15 years, take out the weak trees, the sick trees, and the ones that are dying, but leave the healthy stock to grow some more and reproduce”

> In almost 170 years, the tribe has harvested nearly twice the forest’s former volume of timber, yet it still has 40 percent more standing wood than when they started. “And by leaving the best trees, the old and sick lumber they harvest is now better than the best from most everyone else”

Such an elegant solution!
Bravo. I know nothing about this technically but it was succinct and conveyed the frustration superbly.
