I wasn't very clear in my comment. I think the idea was that if the thing they were citing was a journal article, then the citations would actually mean something, as widely-cited journal articles are one of the currencies of most academic fields. While one certainly can cite an unpublished document, the author doesn't necessarily gain much from it in terms of their academic CV.

If someone writes a piece of software specifically for the purposes of doing certain types of scientific research, and then other scientists use this software to help conduct published experiments, then IMO it really ought to be possible to give that person meaningful credit for their work. It's a perfectly legitimate way to contribute to a field, even if it does not take the form of a paper. But with the system as it stands, the only way to get meaningful credit is to publish a pointless paper saying, in effect, "Hey! I wrote some software!"

>if you put a bibtex snippet on your site that indicates how you’d like to be cited, that is super helpful.

I should probably have done that, but from my point of view it didn't really matter. I have a name, and the software had a website. I didn't really mind exactly how individual people chose to cite it. The absence of a ready-baked bibtex snippet would never be accepted as an excuse for failing to cite any other kind of source.

On the flip side, many people would not choose to invest in an investment fund that advertised lower returns because it was composed of businesses that pay employees well. Or shop at stores with higher prices because they pay employees well.
Of course the language/culture you're currently using influences things, that just plain makes sense. In English I have to remember & share the gender of the person I am talking about, in my native language I have no need for that. So when I'm using English, I'll probably be more influenced by gender biases.

Good lawyers, basically. Either that or it's a small town and they know the right people.

I know someone who was woken up by a State Trooper, fast asleep in her vehicle on the side of the road, with the engine running so it was obvious that she fell asleep while driving.

It was by far not her first DUI. I assume that she lost her license after that, but I do know that she kept driving.
The idea that it was worse back then has been thoroughly debunked. The unfortunate truth is that property values have soared (due to lack of supply), inflation continues as it does, and wages have totally stagnated. Those combined together mean that however bad it was for families back then (and I'm sure it was bad! Housing insecurity is something folks should never have to face, and I'm sorry you went through it too), it's just worse for people today, full stop. This isn't the oppression olympics, I don't want to tell you that you didn't have it bad, or anything like that. But it just sucks to be facing a very real problem today and have people incorrectly tell you that it was worse before. Not only does the existence of a problem 50 years ago not negate the existence of a problem today, but people in politics and on the internet want to tell us that it's not as bad as we think it is, when in reality it's much worse than they think.
As you find “both girls or both boys” problematic for some reason maybe we can discuss the following questions instead - where hopefully there is no subtle change of meaning.

If you don’t, why not?

If you do, what’s your answer to the following question?

"It wouldn't make a difference" - To whom? And how do you know? Even if a bot passes the Turing test, a community where there isn't any creativity or new information will die out. LLM is not the be all and end all of the human experience.

To take it further. even if we were all in the matrix, the statement "it wouldn't make a difference" is not true - philosophically speaking.

Also, humans have a circular reference with society at-large. Humans shape society, and society shapes humans. So something completely different might shape future societies, but I'd rather discuss the situation as it exists today, rather than an imagined future.
This would imply that women work and get paid, but do not contribute. The reality is that woman who work DO contribute. That is, they produce things for all of us, including themselves. Introducing women to the workforce does not mean there is more money chasing "the same scarce resources" - in fact there is much more stuff for us to buy with our money now, and in fact (all else equal) woman working may drive DOWN the price of good and services.

>in the UK people don't get their driving licence taken away that often

In England and Wales, a drink-driving offence would attract a minimum of a 12 month disqualification unless there are very compelling mitigating factors. On a second offence (or a serious first offence), you would usually have to undergo a medical examination and re-take your driving test to get your license back.

I was struggling to put a name to this phenomenon but I recently learned about the term "semantic contagion" as coined by Ian Hacking. There is an article I found interesting that speculates the rise of a rare disorder with the proliferation of the Internet in the 1990s.

I think the idea that an influx of readily available information can confuse people with tempting theories or misinterpretation is more relevant than ever today.

When something is identified as a placebo, that is not the same as saying it can't or won't help anyone. The placebo effect is a real, measurable phenomenon. As a non-scientist I'm probably going to grossly oversimplify this, but when testing the efficacy of a drug or medical device the whole reason you need to have a control group taking a placebo (sugar pills, for example) is because the placebo will actually cause some people in that group to have a real, measurable improvement in whatever it is being measured. The only way to know if the real drug or device you're testing actually works is if the improvements experienced by the test group is better than the improvements experienced by the control group.

Additionally, I think this research/review was focused only on whether blue light filters help reduce eyestrain in the general population. So saying it had no effect here doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility that they could help in individuals with specific medical conditions that weren't controlled for or factored in here, just that in the general case they seem to have no effect.
ChatGPT vs. Google Bard (2023): An in-depth comparison
I have a gripe with voice dictation apps.

I found this back a decade or more ago when I saw windows 7 had an inbuilt voice recognition.

Before that I had an old copy of dragon on xp or 98 I think but the problem remained.

I want this. >>

I want to say a sentence. The computer would understand and speak it back to me. Yes. Then I would say a sentence. It says a word wrong. Scratch that. I say the whole line again.

It may sound repetive but it "should" work because every dictation software expects user to monitor the screen and fix errors that way. If I am reading the screen, I might as well use a keyboard.

I want this full screen-less voice dictation experience by sitting in a comfy blanket, eyes closed and just letting words flow.

Anything else and I would rather just use the keyboard as I said.

Currently, and that's an issue I've also encountered, there are apps on appimagehub.com. Which is why I am hoping more effort will be put in populating it. But i don't think it should have a cli package manager, i think it should be gui based, and focused on convenience. I don't think it should replace apt, yum or pacman. Just a new way of managing packages that is focused on convenience. And perhaps a convention that in a distro if you download any apps to ~/Applications then these will be auto updated provided they are sourced from an "app store". Trust can be fixed with a set of built in security certificates as apt does, but in a basic, low maintenance good enough fashion. When I switch to casual user mode, or even for daily work, good enough is ok as long as its super convenient.
Well, my background is in signal processing, control theory/feedback systems, and instrumentation. Someone's noise is another's signal, and vice versa. Processing and filtering, with the best of intentions, comes at a price. Tradeoffs, ah, tradeoffs.
Answering your "do you have a source" question, yeah: "the entire history of the web prior to HTML5's release", which the internet has already forgotten is a rather recent thing (2008). And even then, it took a while for HTML5 to become the de facto format, because it took the majority of the web years before they'd changed over their tooling from HTML 4.01 to HTML5.

> This is wrong. You can prove this very easily by creating a HTML file with UTF-8 text

No, but I will create an HTML file with latin-1 text, because that's what we're discussing: HTML files that don't use UTF-8 (and so by definition don't contain UTF-8 either).

While modern browsers will guess the encoding by examining the content, if you make an html file that just has plain text, then it won't magically convert it to UTF-8: create a file with `<html><head><title>encoding check</title></head><body><h1>Not much here, just plain text</h1><p>More text that's not special</p></body></html>` in it. Load it in your browser through an http server (e.g. `python -m http.server`), and then hit up the dev tools console and look at `document.characterSet`.

Both firefox and chrome give me "windows-1252" on Windows, for which the "windows" part in the name is of course irrelevant; what matters is what it's not, which is that it's not UTF-8, because the content has nothing in it to warrant UTF-8.
That platform looks great. Can you share how you are using it?

There's actually quite a lot of scholarship about what empire and colony can mean and look like in non-european contexts. People who do that work define and qualify the terms carefully.

In this case it makes sense to focus on europe, because european colonialism has recently & radically shaped the world we live in a way none other has. To the extent non-euro states are currently attempting or achieving empire, they are doing it based on the model and tools of european colonialism. Right now, as discussions of space colonization are taking shape, they are as well.

A joke I made elsewhere in this thread: when pacific islanders roll up trying to create indentured servitude on mars, we can expand & adjust the models and definition as needed. But for now there's no value in attempting to generalize, the narrow model fits the conditions we are presented with.
The focus of the article is specifically about the problems and risks of handling precious, possibly irreplaceable acetate stock affected by ''vinegar syndrome''. It warns of a domino-effect once tainted stock comes into contact with untainted. Archivists are cautious for very good reasons. The problem of which items to digitize is a secondary one.

Georgia reuses plate numbers, both on specialty plates and when there's a new general issue of plates. The combination of plate design and number/text is what is unique, meaning scanners cannot work properly if they don't recognize the design. In practice, it's common for violations to be assigned to the wrong vehicle because of confusion over plate design.
Literally the second sentence is:

It does not define blooming. I still have no idea what that means.

Maybe if you're an expert in this stuff already then it all makes sense. But I'm already lost when it starts by talking about blooming -- and then once it gets to aluminum salts, and strongly emphasizing that it's not elemental aluminum (which matters to the reader why...?), I realize that this is not written for the layperson.

Consumers should have an option. Accept the replacement value or the manufacturer has to repair or replace the unit at their cost. If manufacturers want to try to source a million used dehumidifiers that don’t have this problem, they should go for it. Don’t dump that responsibility on consumers though.

I suspect though that a unit that retails for $100 costs them $25-$35. It would be cheaper to just replace all of them with new ones.

Another factor: the swim is the shortest leg of the triathlon, in terms of time. Many put less training into it, because it has less benefit.

I was a (barely) competitive high school swimmer, and was surprised to find myself dominating the swim leg of triathlons. But I'm a mediocre cyclist, and would find myself passed over and over through the second leg. (And occasionally make some of it back on the run leg.)

James Baldwin’s Advice on Writing
Ensey's sister in law and brother own the Historic Elgin Hotel, one of them currently holds the liquor license for the restaurant, as it used to be their restaurant. The restaurant business is owned by Kari Newell (who purchased it from the Enseys in February) and operates out of the lobby of the Elgin hotel.

Kari Newell is the individual with the DUI that is attempting to get the liquor license and whose information was allegedly obtained illegally, prompting the search.

I'm not sure this is grounds for disqualification. No matter how Ensey decides to proceed against the police I don't think it moves the needle on whether or not Newell gets her liquor license or doesn't, so can't possibly harm or help his family's interests.

EDIT: Maybe the argument that he's biased is that he's inclined to sweep it under the run to keep his family's name out of the paper? That's reasonable.

Take the Money and Run?
I work at Big Tech Co, and I recently had my "role eliminated".

I was offered 90 days to find a new role within the company, and if I can't find one I get 6 months severance.

There have been multiple rounds of layoffs at my company, so it's unclear when they would stop doing them (if ever).

Unsure if I should spend the next 90 days doing interview prep and take the severance, or try to find an internal position and hope I don't get eliminated again (with a worse severance).

I think I might already have an internal position lined up FWIW, but for anyone else who has gone through layoffs:

Should I take the severance no matter what (i.e. it's only going to get worse here)?

> there is more money chasing "the same scarce resources" - in fact there is much more stuff for us to buy with our money now

Humans are status seeking, so stuff is not just stuff. People value obtaining products/services that others cannot afford. The most basic example of this is the common advice to “buy the cheapest home in the most expensive neighborhood”.

Meaning, if you want your kids to hang out with kids of parents who earn at least as much or more than you, then you bid up housing prices as much as you can to minimize the number of families under a give income level that can afford the homes in the school district.

> in fact there is much more stuff for us to buy with our money now, and in fact (all else equal) woman working may drive DOWN the price of good and services.

This is also true, and it did drive down the price of many goods and services, including the price of labor itself. But it can also be true that prices for average or below average product/service decline, and above average products/services to increase.
