If it's any consolation, that post is...hot word salad garbage. It's like they learned the words on Wikipedia and then proceeded to try to make a post that used as many of them as possible. It's a good litmus test for experience vs armchair observers -- certainly scanning the article without decoding the phrasing to see how silly the argument is would seem impressive because "oooooh, fancy math". It's sort of why LW is more popular, because it is basically white collar flat-earthery, and many of the relevant topics discussed have already been discussed ad infinitum in the academic world and are accepted as general fact. We're generally not dwelling on silly arguments like that.

One of the most common things I see is people oftentimes assuming something that came from LW is novel and "was discovered through research published there", and that's because oftentimes it's really incentivized to make a lot of noise and sound plausible over there. Whereas arxiv papers, while there is some battle for popularity, are inherently more "boring" and formal.

For example, the LW post as I understand it completely ignores existing work and just... doesn't cite things which are rigorously reviewed and prepared. How about this paper from five years ago in a long string of research about generalization loss basins, for example? https://papers.nips.cc/paper_files/paper/2018/hash/be3087e74...

If someone earnestly tried to share the post you linked at a workshop at a conference, they would not be laughed out of the room, but instead have to deal with the long, draining, and muffling silence of walking to the back of the room without any applause when it was over. It's not going to fly with academics/professionals who are academia-adjacent.

This whole thing is not too terribly complicated, either, I personally feel -- a little information theory and the basics, and time studying and working on it, and someone is 50% of the way there, in my personal opinion. I feel frustrated that this kind of low quality content is parasitically supplanting actual research with meaning and a well-documented history. This is flashy nonsense that goes nowhere, and while I hesitate to call it drivel, is nigh-worthless. This barely passes muster for a college essay on the subject, if even that. If I was their professor, I would pull them aside to see if there is a more productive way for them to channel their interests in the Deep Learning space, and how we could better accomplish that.
Moving is a burden of a highly varying degree. The implication that it is a non-factor points to a fundamental absence of shared experience between you and the people you are criticizing.
In Oklahoma the interstate has periodic warnings that drive in the left lane is for passing only, and is a fineable violation. Like magic, when driving over the state border, the drivers magically become more aware and cognizant of passing and getting out of the way.

Enforcement is the only way laws have any effect at all, otherwise they are words on paper nobody reads.

I think there should be a distinction between monitored and unmonitored screen time. Too much of the former is like leaving your kids with the cookie jar. Not entirely healthy but not fatal. Too much of the latter is like leaving them with the contents of the medicine cabinet. You’ll probably be calling 911 at some point.
Rugby (which is actually a number of different sports: league, union, touch & sevens) is mainstream in many countries, but parents are less inclined to let their kids play a sport where concussions are rife. Rugby also does not have protective gear so there is less perception of protection (even though it is well accepted that the protective gear can make the problem worse).

Woman's rugby is increasing in popularity and represents a growth opportunity.

Two possible reasons in this case.

1) Bonin might not have understood he was in full manual control, and that the computer was no longer restricting his pitch up command to the maximum advisable pitch.

2) The stall warning was intermittent on the way down, because it turns off below a certain air speed. Of course, low air speed contributes to stalling. They were stalling the whole time, but ironically as they started to gain air speed (a good thing) the stall warning would kick in because it was no longer below the lower limit for a stall warning.

Also there's the ever present reason of panic, brain-lock, confusion, etc.

I had one bad experience in Paris 15 years ago (ish) and that was it. No more Airbnb (unless I am travelling with other families and need kitchens etc - then the todolist is something i just put up with). Looks like ABNB is just getting worse over the years. But oh boy. Staying at a hotel - I know what I am getting. Yes it sucks for reasons - but they are all known reasons (eg small rooms, "boring" etc). Now (not a plug or anything) last three times I was with Hilton (nothing fancy) and I gotta say I got lucky all 3 times. Even other hotels - boring but dependable. No todo lists - just leave!

As we have no way to find them systematically, we can't tell if we all do, or if it's just some of us.
Perhaps there was a time when Mozilla's sole monetary focus was development of the Firefox browser but if there was it was a long time ago.

There aren't only two pots of money in the Mozilla budget, one labeled "software development" and another "agendas", they do all kinds of things. An increase in "agendas" does not automatically mean a decrease in software development. Case in point: Mozilla used to have a "Mozilla Science Lab" from 2013-18[1]. When it was shut down there was presumably extra cash made available. Maybe it went to "agendas", maybe it didn't. And hey, maybe it couldn't: the foundation receives donations for specific projects, they're not able to just say "thanks for the money, we're actually going to spend it on something totally different". If they shut down a program they might well lose the funding associated with it and the whole thing would be a zero-sum exercise.

To interpret this as a binary choice between two activities is an oversimplification.

People are downvoting you, but I'm going to upvote you and respond carefully because I think there's an important lesson about language and science here.

> That's not science, that's a cargo cult.

Science deals completely and exclusively with modeling "if this then that". And the breakdown for "if this then that" depends on the current observability of the scale you're trying to describe.

We don't know how gravity works, because we can't look inside gravity, we can only look at gravity's effects on other things, but we know that it does appear to work, and we believe that it works in the same way every time, and we can use observations and organized thinking to model gravity in a way that allows us to predict what will happen "if this".

So we can safely say we don't know how gravity itself works, but we can also safely say that we do know the relationship between gravity and mass, because that's something we can observe.

Likewise, we can safely say we don't know "how antipsychotics work inside the brain", but we can also safely say we do know "how antipsychotics work on populations", because populations are easily observed and inside the brain is not. Both use the word "how". The difference is what we're currently able to observe.

This is a language problem, not a science problem.

At an essential level, science can't answer how many things work, because the deeper into the unobserved you try to talk about (and the workings of the brain are still approximately 100% unobserved) "how", which is a question about things we can observe, becomes more and more a mis-use of the word "how" to talk about "why", which is a question about things we cannot observe, and science doesn't talk about things we cannot observe.

It would only be cargo culting if the "but...", which I assume went on to say "...it appears to be beneficial for many people", were instead "and we haven't bothered to observe whether it helps anyone". But again I assume that's not how the sentence ended.
I have to confess that I love crankery like this!

The US has started implementing an even simpler system. Any foods that are packaged in a way that could plausibly be consumed in a single serving must list the nutrition facts for the whole container.

e.g. https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/bmcseriesblog/wp-content/upl...

I think this should be expanded to larger packaging sizes than it currently is. I think that currently only the shorter Pringles cans are affected by this new regulation in the US.
As they should - whoever thought it was a great idea to put a massive sprawling city in the middle of the fucking desert (with a single small river with which to draw any sort of water) was out of their mind.

Don't get me wrong - I lived in Southern AZ during my undergrad years (Go Cats!) and loved it. It's a nice place....in the winter. But the summers there are BRUTAL beyond belief, and in times of climate change and things getting hotter, there's no reason to continue to build and bring in new residents - it's just not a good idea.
I think what we're seeing is people want something in between. It's hard to codify social norms. Many devs I know don't want to deal with the additional work that a partial GPL ecosystem involve. Most don't even care that changes to their code are published. On the whole, they want others to be able to do what they want with the source. What they don't want is the project to be co-opted or to be put out of business by a service provider that's leveraging their presence elsewhere (e.g., an entrenched cloud provider adding a competing SaaS option).

AGPL is possibly the only one that could guard against the latter, but it brings with it other limitations the author may not want. It almost certainly cuts down on the pool of contributors. While it fixes one problem, it creates others.

I think the fundamental problem is that open source licenses apply equally to everyone and really only govern what you can do with source modifications. The proposed solutions seem to be of the form "make it onerous to use and sell commercial licenses on the side." But, I don't think that's really what many people want. For one, it changes the business model. Moreover, they don't want something that restrictive for most parties. It's just that "don't bite the hand that feeds" is hard to codify.

At the core of it, these folks want something that functions like open source for the majority case but affords protection in the extreme. It has little to do with the ideals of software freedom. For better or worse, the BSL attempts to address that problem.

I think we largely overestimate how much the average person even cares about open source. I can only speak to my own experiences, but most devs I know haven't even read the major open source licenses. And that extends to how they consume source. Plenty of them take code from public repos without any declared license. They crib answers from Stack Overflow without attribution. They never check the licenses of their full dependency graph. Unless the legal team requires explicit approval of adoption of new open source projects, they don't go through that exercise. What they want is something they don't have to pay for that they can easily modify; open source happens to satisfy that problem.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I'm not sure the BSL will clear legal approval at many companies. So, the companies using the license may find it's not any more advantageous than GPL. After all, if devs can't use your software, you haven't really gained anything. But, I'm curious to see how this all plays out. It's the first concerted attempt at solving a problem that open source licenses don't solve in a satisfactory way for many of us.
Your anecdote doesn't match up with reality - opinions on pornography have been trending upwards, here's one survey:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/235280/americans-say-pornograph...

Liberals (and in particular, young men) are the biggest movers, but across the board, all demographics have shown increases.

Only one political party is making this a legal issue (and therefore, putting it in mainstream debate) in the first place.
This is my favorite tool in this space as well. It's very simple and p2p.

I don't know why it seems to be so far below the radar in these comparisons / conversations. Perhaps the Tailscale marketing is just that good :)
Seems like a dumb idea from the ACLU/PornHub POV. The Supreme Court is 6-3 conservative. You're going to lose the case and entrench a precedent that you don't like. It's better to just wait it out and hope that the Supreme Court turns over in 5 years than to do the suit when you will 100% lose.
Are you seriously saying prop 65 warnings are useful or based on science in any meaningful way?
California requires brands to post that about things that can actually cause cancer. The reason brands put that label on absolutely everything is because there's no restrictions on doing so and it's cheaper than actually doing the research.

This is copyright infringement, not ok to be using and monetising off of someone else’s voice. Over the next months there are plans for way tighter controls on this so I’d expect that the “using the voices of the original speakers” feature will not be available, unless a monetisation method is developed.

When the addictive and society-distorting nature of modern social media is widely discussed as a problem, it is no surprise that some people might claim that porn shows a very similar effect. I assume that is what's happening because the concern over porn I’m seeing on Reddit, is being voiced by more types of people than just the religious conservatives or anti-porn feminists of years past.

I'm also surprised no one is really mentioning Nomad in this discussion either, I know for a fact circleci used nomad at some point to schedule CI tasks on worker machines. If I create a SaaS product that runs programs which get scheduled with nomad under the hood is that a breach of the license?

We divide screen time into three categories:

Creative: Blender, Scratch, Blockbench, Krita.

Thinking Games: Minecraft, Kerbal, Stormworks.

Relaxing Games: most other stuff.

Then we have fixed times of day when each thing is allowed e.g. creative in the morning, followed by some thinking, then s long break, and relaxing in the late afternoon.

I put on videos about Blender etc sometimes and they put it into practice shockingly quickly when faced with limited alternatives.

They are 7 and 9 now and started this way from around 3yo. Hoping to use Discord to connect them with more creative kids next.
What I don't understand is why aren't these companies suing YouTube/Alphabet?

They're the one's enabling the purported copyright violations. They're the ones profiting. They're the ones with the mountain of money attorneys are generally employed to take from.

If anything these attorneys should be supporting youtube-dl/yt-dlp maintenance and using it in support of their claims. What could be more damming of YouTube's negligence than showing the court a silly headless web browser written in python optimized for video sites can leech copyrighted materials from youtube.com?

YouTube/Alphabet will only get off their asses and _really_ prevent this activity the moment it costs more than the neglect generates in revenue.

Maybe this is some 4D chess, but from where I'm sitting these attorneys look like clowns.
