"There are multiple studies about it, published by scientists, most of them agree that "Don’t trust everything you read in the psychology literature. In fact, two thirds of it should probably be distrusted.""

AIST Steel Wheel
It doesn't matter if it's art or not. They commissioned a specific thing, and he did not make that thing. If I commission a painting, and the artist gives me a pencil doodle instead, I can admit the latter is art but still demand a refund.

Additionally, he pocketed the materials they provided for that thing, which were not part of the commission fee. This is straight up theft.
The core statement of the abstract is that the author's conclusions are the "clear an unanimous" views of "those studying nervous system evolution".

This statement is incorrect on its face. Worse, it would be a bad scientific statement in any paper. Last, it is at once superfluous and incomplete even if it were true. Instead, a good abstract would briefly list the points of the author's preferred theory rather than waste the reader's time by only deferring to a loosely defined general authority in support of an assertion. Which is abstract writing 101, at least in fields for which writing standards are somewhat kept. Maybe that isn't the psychology field, but it should be.

The last sentence of the abstract reads as if written by said high school junior. Science authors generally don't use the word "mistaken" to describe another theory, especially in the context of theories of brain evolution nor for anything else for which literally every theory can only be a theory. Including that preferred by the author.

Good papers don't introduce their arguments / pov halfway through, or further. Good papers don't lean on deference to authority 1/2 paper before presenting what is supposed to be their evidence or theory. Good papers almost completely exclude adjectives when describing theories, conclusions, or data, let alone negative adjectives that are doing all of the work in making their yet-unsupported point.

I don't trust my friends for medical advice. Some of them trust me for plant advice, and they really probably shouldn't. I am very stove-piped.

We have two and a half generations of people right now most of whom think "I did the research" means "I did half as much reading as the average C student does for a term paper, and all of that reading was in Google."

And Alphabet fiddles while Google burns. This is going to end in chaos.
The "Improve YouTube" extension[1] used to be able to hide the sidebar, and even hide the whole homepage except for the search. Today I noticed YouTube seem to have changed something and the extension is no longer effective.

Seems like a style-modifying extension and adding the CSS rule div#secondary { display: none; } still works. Although it also hides things like live chat and transcripts...

Sure. All researchers are scrounging to find grants.

I did read that article. Isn't one of the findings was that the data that was left out didn't change the results? Leaving it out just helped clarify the results? I guess if people did the opposite, they could include hundreds of 'possible' things that would really muddy the results.

Everyone in every form of writing is taught to stick to the basics and leave out extraneous 'possibilities' to clarify the message. That is just being succinct. If it doesn't change the results, then it is a matter of style.

I'm just saying the scale is orders of magnitude different.

You were equating the incentives of pretty lowly researchers scrounging for grants to do very basic research, to big money food production companies with huge incentives to sway opinions.

The climate scientist is not promoting a product, sure they want to get the next grant, and that is just how research is. But that is a really low bar. I don't think any grants specify that the results of the previous grant better result in "X".

That would be like saying, "I better produce something that proves that String Theory is real or I wont get another grant". -- OOOPS. Might have contradicted myself since string theory is garbage.

So.
All studies, as all humans, have bias.
All academic fields have bias.

So with all studies in all fields, the bias has to be factored in.

It was only a few years ago really that hundreds of studies said smoking was not only safe, but could be healthy. But those were corporate studies.

And like the protein study, there is just far greater scales of bias in corporate funded studies. They have bigger money, bigger stakes, more to protect.

The lowly climate scientist isn't getting much beyond a citation and enough money for dinner.

This narrative that there is some big money in climate science is a full on press of BS to discredit it, by the same people producing biased studies to disprove it. Just like with Tabaco companies.

I know Godot team is very committed to GDScript, but I find it hard to see it as anything but a toy scripting language. Seems like it would be a real mess with a big, complicated project.

Godot w/ C# however is very nice and gives you a lot of flexibility with your architecture and code.

Thanks. I first misread the C++ part but it sounds like they have some way of paring down the runtime when using GDScript. I’ll have to seek that out.

I don’t think a MITM would be sufficient to fool ACME. As Let’s Encrypt’s guide explains[1], an attacker in the middle would still fail to possess the target’s private key. As a result, the proof of possession check would fail.

The attacker could sign with their own key instead, but this is trivially observable to the target (they don’t end up with a correct cert, and it all gets logged in CT anyways.)

> You are wildly underestimating how many doctors are willing to prescribe medicines without a strong need. Have you heard of the opiod epidemic?

Opioids don't cost $10k+ a year out of pocket.

> Unless you can convince your insurance company to pay for it -- say, with the help of a willing doctor.

Even with "good insurance", it's quite difficult to get Ozempic covered for weight loss, even if you are obese - let alone normal weight or just overweight. Not speculating here, I know people who meet the criteria and have tried.

> You've been able to get those things for many years. They are not the same as an easy weight loss drug

Yes, and that's one of the many reasons why obesity rates are lower among the wealthy. I don't think that paying over $1k a month and getting weekly injections is especially "easy."

> What I'm arguing here is that when a drug is in limited supply the people with an immediate need for it (diabetics) ought to take precedence over people who are worried about potential future health problems somewhere down the line (younger, mildly obese people), and that people who are mainly worried about cosmetics ought to wait for wider availability. I don't think that's controversial?

What evidence do you have that this is not occurring? I see a lot of evidence that insurance companies are aggressively rationing Ozempic for non-diabetic patients - both in the news media and in my personal life. Many of those paying out of pocket for semaglutide are getting it from compounding pharmacies because they can't get access to the brand name drug, either due to cost or supply constraints.

Clearly the explanationn is needed. Most of us didn't understand what you meant. After grasping what you're asking for, I get your request, and I think it'd be nice if Apple implemented this for you and others, but I don't think iOS is broken, nor would I enable such an option if it were implemented – it wouldn't solve a problem for me.

It was bad enough to push me into actually flagging them, but of course that does nothing to stop the recommendations so they keep popping up in my feed.

It struck me recently that this may be because people are flocking to cities - and the same cities that existed 100 years ago.

I don't have any statistics, but city dwelling must have exploded over the past 50 years or so. Economies used to be so much more based around agriculture and industry, even around WWII. Agriculture was less mechanized, needing more people, factories are often based away from big cities.

With these branches of economy in decline, more and more people are competing for the limited space in cities. And this surplus in demand doesn't easily lead to an increase of supply, as economics would dictate, because that would necessitate new cities.

We used to found new cities. Car makers in the US and Europe (Volkswagen for example), Milton Keynes in the UK is founded from scratch in 1950s. But no longer, and so "knowledge economy" workers, numbers ever increasing, will compete for proximity to the same few city centres as before.

Perhaps this is one advantage SV had in the early days (I've never been so might be very wrong here), but in the early days of SV, there was a lot of cities/towns to support a significant body of "knowledge economy workers". SV seems quite diversified, it's not like it is all based in SF, but there's lots of smaller towns that are sufficiently city-like. But of course that has a limit too, so it would seem like SV is past that saturation point too and in the same point as other urban areas.

To change this situation, we either need more remote work, or new cities. It'll be very interesting to see how the new Californian city fares. I won't hold my breath for the Saudi one - but of course you never know.

Does anyone have any tips on this beyond the additional "sales" type stuff where you have to put in a ton of extra effort to measure and sell your work?

I've found this to be true... to the point where some places even prefer manual maintenance to spending (potentially) a little more time on automation, even if that time would be paid back over the next couple of years.

I'm not adept at planning, selling my work, doing the manual maintenance, and doing the extra automation, as eventually that work becomes homework unless you get a boss that's willing to put in some effort here, which I haven't found yet.

-Smart policy can support the continued growth of rooftop solar while achieving more equitable outcomes
Curious if anyone here has tried Bevy (Rust game engine).

Godot has a beautiful editor and great tooling for a free engine ... but I worry about the choice of C# and GDScript as the expected way for devs to interact with the project (what if performance is a concern or you need to develop some low-level features).

Definitely, experience matters. However, I am used to an FTC that turns a blind eye on these Pharma antics. So, as long as FTC takes these kind of cases on, I am all for it.
Even the price of generics are way out of line when compared to the generics you get outside of US.
Similarly, a lot of Mergers have resulted in fewer competition in the market, leading to rampant price inflation. Federal institutes like FTC need to step up their game here.

This basically could have been written at any time.

Perhaps the most concerning response to the survey for anyone running a consultancy was that one in three consultants said they hoped to be doing something else in five years’ time.
Several regarded consulting as a stepping stone to a role in industries they advised. But one 25-year-old vice-president said it was “not a rewarding long-term career”. A 34-year-old engagement manager was more blunt: “This is a job for partner[s and] a bunch of juniors . . . [it] makes no sense to work here unless you are on a partner track.”

It's that sort of stuff that's a mainstay of the industry. Some of the reasons differ, economic cycles come and go, but this stuff is always the same.

> so lots of smart people from big companies put lots of thought how to make it fast, and I still get a feeling of overwhelming anger when browsing the new web Reddit on a 4-years old phone.

That's more the problem of Reddit's code being a pile of bull dung. Someone high-level in there decided to ditch the "old" API for the "redesign" in favor of GraphQL and as everyone who has ever worked with GraphQL is likely to have discovered, GraphQL is a hell in itself.

And because whoever was moronic enough to call that decision doesn't want to admit they have fucked up and Reddit can't/doesn't want to afford maintaining two distinct APIs, they decided to rather shut down the old, working and performant API.

Reddit is being killed by corporate bullshit.
To be honest, you're really straining that needle threading by relying on abstract terms. Let's get down to real people who exist in the real world.

A cop was in a bad mood, gave excessive charges to someone, the judge then gave the person a $500 bail which couldn't be afforded. Let's say something like getting pulled over for a broken tail lite and the cop smelling weed, found half an oz of cannabis, then arrests them with charges for attempted distribution. This is a common scenario.

Because that person, as an individual (and not an abstract entity like you've leaned on) cannot afford to pay bail, they're then put into jail for eight months while waiting for trial. Had they had $500 in savings to pay for bail they would have been able to continue working, look for a job, maintain social relationships, etcetc. But they're poor, so now they're stuck and their life is being progressively ruined... all because they wanted to smoke some weed. What is actually gained from keeping this person in jail for eight months and ruining their life? In what world is it worse to waive that $500 bail and let them continue living their life?

Mind you, while the person is in jail, their defense attorney's interest is simply to get them out of jail. As such, constitutional violations (or even basic procedural violations!) will be considered a distraction just to make sure they don't spend an undue amount of time in jail. As in, why push for hearings to address contsitutional violations if scheduling those hearings will take three months, followed by a year of followup? All the while, the trial is continued to be delayed. This happened a LOT when the pandemic was at its peak -- human rights violations couldn't be addressed because the courts were dealing with COVID restraints and arguing anything but the very narrow slice of the specific charges would cause harm to the person. Tons of people just sat in jail all because the courts were overbooked, a large percentage who were found not-guilty, or charges were dropped, etc. Many because they couldn't afford bond.

Also mind you, there are organizations like Chicago Community Bond Fund who will pay someone's bond if they can't (through a revolving door fund). If those organizations are able to pay peoples' bonds, then what purpose does a bond actually serve?
I don't mind YouTube's recommendation algorithm because it helps me find new videos and channels to watch but it seems to constantly recommend videos I've already watched. In fact, when marking a video "not interested" you have the option to say it's because you've already seen it before. Are people constantly re-watching videos that this is a thing? Can't YouTube tell the difference between a music video and a long form video on a niche subject?
The rhyme has a lot to do with how existing power structures handle a sudden increase in the amount of written text generated. In this comparison, they both try to apply the breaks. Banned books didn't work well for the Catholic Church. I think increasing QA for Amazon might actually help their book business. Of course, a book seller has a greater responsibility to society than to make money.
