Without identity posession is impossible - i.e. tying your name to contracts is impossible, thus owning objects or property becomes difficult. This is between individuals, but enforced by governement.

It becomes oppressive when you do not consent to giving your identity but it is taken and possibly used against you i.e. logging what you do online, having cctv video taken of you without consent - all things that can be used against you without explicit consent

Do not try to integrate with Salesforce! Do an integration with Zapier, IFTTT, Workato, Microsoft, Slack...

> At an essential level, science can't answer how many things work...

Indeed, science provides scant information about how drugs work and that includes medications with effects (favorable or not) in the brain. The reality is that drugs have a great number of effects very few of which receive adequate study. IOW while there are useful target effects that are exploited, the fact that drugs are more or less tolerable is largely a matter of luck.

This reality is illustrated by instances of tragic drug outcomes despite long use in clinical practice. Of course observing for and identifying random events (adverse effects) depends on the sample size. Registration trials generally use hundreds to a few thousand people which is highly unlikely to reveal serious, rare outcomes occurring on the order of 1/100K recipients. Monitoring of after-market AEs is necessary to detect such anomalous outcomes.

The upshot is that clinical practice is at least as much art form as reliant on science. But as you say this is also the case with all science, albeit to a variable degree. It implies your statement should read "science can't answer how anything actually works" since there's no way to know what is not yet known.

That doesn't mean we have no useful knowledge, far from it, as the vast array of extant productive technologies clearly shows. But in truth we can't fully "explain" anything, we have to be content developing usable "working solutions" to real-world problems. To my mind process of science is satisfactory to the extent we accept the inherent constraints of human knowledge. With that acceptance we gain the flexibility to move forward, to find new and better working solutions, and add insightful observations to the knowledge base of science.

You may want to look into Alpha Zero. It learned to play chess at superhuman levels in just hours of play. The only human assistance were the rules of the game.

That wasn’t human instruction but it was arguably better since human instructions are ambiguous and imperfect. No chess grandmaster could instruct a chess engine to play better than the state of the art. Completing a task from first principles is much more powerful.

People like to feel that they're in on a conspiracy. I think because it means they're smarter then the others who "can't understand it". Its especially prevalent in technology-enthusiast circles, internet-culture, etc.

Endless validation on the internet reinforces this. If you want to believe the Earth is a simulation you can go find a forum or podcast exactly to that effect. Heck YouTube will put a chain of videos at the top of your recommendations.

For a long time, getting to the Create Channel dialog was a single click ("+" button to the right of the "Channels" heading). It has been minimum two clicks (and a long hover or third click) for quite some time. Astonishingly, even this new UI overhaul appears to be making it so you must still click at least twice to open the "Create channel" dialog. I just don't get it. More "change for the sake of change" that literally no one asked for. The only change I want: change it back to how it looked/worked in 2014.
> For a given person, an SSRI may significantly relieve their symptoms, have a mild effect, or have no effect.

In other words, SSRIs do not work for everyone who has depression. For some people, they do; for others, they don't. You and your grandfather apparently are in the first group; but there are also plenty of people in the second.

Now comes the obvious next question: is there a way to tell in advance (i.e., without trying the SSRI on the person and seeing whether it works or doesn't) which people are in each category? No, there isn't. That's the impact of not knowing the mechanism: treatments for illnesses like depression are trial and error. If you find a drug that works for you, great! But many people never do.

i was initially using concurrent.futures for a lot of things and just assumed some of my code wasn't very multiprocessable when i saw it wasn't utilizing all my cores, but it was a speedup nonetheless, then i when i experimented with multiprocessing it gave me considerable speedups with full core usage. i was more happy than frustrated and switched everything i could and got benefit everywhere.

i usually test both when i write code nowadays and concurrent.futures is useful in maybe 10% of my cases.

Yeah, after all these years we still know very little about the body. Almost nothing, really, in the grand scheme of things. Most of the time the best thing we can do is literally rest and hope for the best.

And this is compounded by a major misalignment between expert goals and lay expectations.

The great misconception of medicine is that people think it's about healing when almost none of it is directed at healing, only at putting your body in a better position to heal itself. Medical intervention, nearly universally, aims to destroy or rearrange things considered to be anomalous by presence or arrangement. That's true from antibiotics to chemotherapy to appendectomies to skin grafts to casting broken bones. And if there's no bone to move or bacteria to kill or appendix to extract, there's nothing to do but destroy the pain. The healing is actually always done by your body.

Doctors don't make your body better. They only make your body less worse than normal. And those sound like they should be logically the same, but they aren't.

And then on top of all that, bodies are simultaneously both magical and complete, utter, absolute garbage. So you have people who live in constant pain, extreme pain, blinding, crippling, exhausting pain, and we either don't know why, or we don't know how to fix it, or the process for fixing it is too dangerous.
I think it’s as applicable to systems. They are all imperfect, they all have flaws and broken parts that need fixing. And we have to use them.
Lol yeah, mily mistake. But on mobile if you're trying to be 100% FOSS obtainium and f-droid are basically all you need, updates are seamless with these two.

I don’t know much about using Pijul, but one nice thing about it compared to Git is its implementation is mostly defined in a library while the command line executable is separate:

https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/pijul

Git can be annoying to integrate into a larger system without resorting to shelling out to the Git executable. There are alternatives like libgit2 and jgit, but they only have a subset of functionality.
My understanding is that short term turnover falls under the "vacant year-round" number. It doesn't mean that a given house has actually been empty for 12 months. A house that is currently for rent and has been uninhabited for 1 month counts in that category because there's no long-term residence.

for example, the average time between rentals may be 1 month, but replaced by a new rental coming on market after that month. Therefore, the average is 1 vacancy year round.

The census provides the average vacancy duration as 2.7 months. Of the 11.5M vacant year round, 15% have been vacant longer than 12 months. So this means about 1.6M houses. The majority of these houses are outside of metro areas.

The vacancy durations are in table 8 here.

For Amazon, if we consider everything for website retail purchases, I would estimate tens of thousands of table schemas. This is counting:

- Sellers (Amazon, third party, retail store)
- Inventory (forecasting, recommendation)
- Customers (comments, ratings, returns, preferences)
- Warehouses (5+ distinct types, filled with custom machines)
- Transit Options (long haul, air, vans, cars, bikes, walking, boats)
- Delivery Partners (DSP, Flex, Fedex, UPS - forecasting capacity here)
- Routing (between warehouses, within warehouses, to specific homes)
- skipping AWS
- skipping billing
- skipping advertising on amazon.com (bidding, attribution, etc)

There's optimizations and metrics collected and packages transition between all these layers. There's hundreds of "neat projects" running to special case different things; all them useful but adding complexity.

For example ordering prescriptions off Amazon pharmacy needs effectively its own website and permissions and integrations. Probably distinct sorting machines with supporting databases for them. Do you need to log repairs on those machines? Probably another table schema.

You want to normalize international addresses? And fine tune based on delivery status and logs and customer complaints and map data? Believe it not like 20 more tables. Oh this country has no clear addresses? Need to send experienced drivers to areas they already know. Need to track that in more tables.

I think you're arguing against a point no one is making, not even TFA. TFA is basically about piracy. Maybe you could stretch it into a broader "what can I as a private entity host on my platform/DNS" question, but this is about a music piracy site. We're not talking about fundamental history of humanity here, it's Foo Fighters and Oak Ridge Boys all the way down. And it's worth saying you are free to buy (most of) this music! It's not like it's being disappeared into a memory hole. The analog here would be like, I don't even know, the Hitler estate suing DNS providers for resolving the hostname of a site that hosted Adolf's speeches for free, when they sold them on CD for $25 each. I'm pretty good at bullshitting, but even I can't make the leap from that to censorship.

Further, private platforms have no obligation whatsoever to let you say whatever you want on them, and in fact have obligations to report certain speech to the cops (you can imagine the kinds of speech we're talking about here, i.e. crimes). But also I can run a forum and ban people and annihilate their posts with impunity as long as I don't do it because of their "race, color, religion, or national origin", [0] and this is assuming forums qualify as public accommodations, which isn't currently clear (it's at least possible if not likely my forum would be classified as a private club). Should I do so I will have violated none of their rights, and will have in no way censored them, no matter how many people use my forum, because I'm not a government and they're free to use other forums or even run their own. This also applies to more concrete things like restaurants: I'm free to run a restaurant and ban neo-Nazis, but I can't ban Catholics. It's worth saying I'm not wild about this law. I think it would better if it were more carefully delineated along the lines of ascribed (sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality) vs. achieved (profession, political ideology, religion) statuses, and SCOTUS is chipping away at it like they do, but it's what we've got.

Finally, I just don't think what you're worried about happening is happening. You can reference and learn about anti-semitism on Twitter [1] (kind of, insofar as you can learn about anything there). You just can't go around spouting actual anti-semitic stuff like spamming "14 Words" or trying to argue that Oskar Dirlewanger was just misunderstood. There's a difference! There's no confusion! You can also go to ADL's website to learn about these things; in fact that's what I did.

Your argument seems to be that unless we let the worst, most vile speech infest our social networks, we'll at best be ignorant of history and at worst break some fundamental human law of knowledge. But there are other ways to learn about history that don't empower white nationalists (etc.). I mean, we knew about this stuff before Twitter; I think we'll be fine.

Computational linguist. How does that not qualify them to write on the AI topic du jour, LLMs?
I've been reading lots of datasheets and application notes in the embedded space recently. Most of these are only accessible after creating a (free) login. In one sense, it's a reasonably simple way to prevent scraping like this (at least until the AI-based scrapers can generate their own logins). On the other hand, a lot of that kind of material would be _really_ useful to be able to ask an LLM about.

Pijul is definitely a nice research project, and maybe some of the technology behind it could be integrated into better git tooling. But I doubt that exposing users to the raw "everything is just a bucket of patches, you have no history of repo state" idea is good. People want to be able to bisect, or check out some older version at a given time point. There are benefits of pijul's model, but I don't think they are worth as much as losing that.

You're responding to your own argument here, not mine. I'm saying the next generation of artists will be blessed with tools that greatly expand their capabilities. Arguing otherwise, is like saying Photoshop, or VFX, did nothing to push art forward over the last 40 years.

Obviously, AI training data is a touchy topic. I completely agree artist should be compensated. To what degree is a hard question.

As to whether or not I should be making comics- I have story to express and there are tools available to express it. I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks about the validity of that expression. That's what makes it art. You talk like someone who has never produced art.
See if embracing async work does it for those individuals, with some pressure on the deliverables but instead of end-of-day of that day, you let them deliver the next morning prior to chatting. Basically the same pace, but you shift on them the accountability of meeting the deadline for whatever widget you need, so if they didn't do anything that day, the expectation would be that they log in sometime during the night or very early in the morning to do it in one shot, because of the pressure being used as a motivator. If you identify that pattern, you have a procrastinator with potentially an attention/motivation disorder.

With a little of handholding and outcome motivation management, you should be able to hack into their dopamine cycle, keep their interest and those deliverables coming.
The only reason some people struggle to understand the behavior of Musk, SBF, Trump, and others is because of an assumption that a certain level of wealth or power implies some level of rational behavior.

That assumption is often, but not always correct.

We aren't astonished or confused when a broke high school dropout maxes out their credit card on Candy Crush in-app purchases and drives drunk and crashes into a tree. Some people are stupid and stupid people are going to make stupid, thoughtless decisions.

People are more surprised when the rich and powerful do dumb shit like this because of a presumption that they must have been consistently able to not do dumb shit in order to acquire their stature.

But that assumption is very often wrong. Trump had his father slowly plow $700m of his wealth into his son in order to burnish his own image. Musk inherited wealth. SBF came from prestige and then lucked into a historical moment where fake Internet money could temporarily be exchanged for real money.

These people are just fucking morons with limited ability to delay their gratification or think through the consequences of their actions who happened to win the lottery.
