Wow, an even broader category! First it was putting raping children and filming it, and generating fake pixels, in the same bucket, and now you put both of those, and countless other things, under the vague description of "sexualizing children".

Why is this bad? Well, let's look at how one might fight child abuse: find lots of CSAM online, put it through facial recognition and other digital forensics, try to find the children involved, or see if the IPs sharing it are plausibly involved with children, or use sting operations where police pretend to be children online. Then use regular policework to follow up. In the end you may end up saving a child from a very bad situation.

Now how do you fight "sexualizing children"? I don't know, awareness campaigns? Go after porn artists drawing young characters? Make a classification office, such as in New Zealand, to decide which media gets censored... maybe eventually you'll catch someone actually abusing children, but your target is so vague, your efforts so unfocused, most of your manpower is wasted.

To give an analogy: In a campaign to ban dumping toxic waste into rivers, you are the person saying "actually this is the fault of capitalism, we should fight that instead".
Consider: when using `form-sizing: normal`, what CSS properties do you use to specify the size of the textarea when it's empty? (min-width and min-height would be obvious contenders, but nobody's currently doing that, because currently, textareas don't change size except when JS manipulates their width and height.)
Do you really have to get those sites taken down if they're not indexed by any major search engines? Very few people will be able to find them.

Psychology is really the tip of the iceberg when it comes to research misconduct. We've noticed a lot of dodgy papers because of the broad public interest in the field and the overlap with the much more rigorous field of psychiatry, but I have no doubt that there are scores of Stapels and Arielys in most fields of research.

In physics, we've seen an immense amount of recent controversy over LK-99; while the material might have some interesting properties, it is almost certainly not the room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor that Lee and Kim claim it to be. How many totally bogus physics papers might be lurking in the literature, ignored and mostly un-cited? We don't know, because most of those papers don't make sufficiently interesting or exciting claims to inspire a raft of replication attempts. For all our aspirational beliefs about the scientific method and the power of peer review, most papers are subject to little more than a superficial sniff test.

There are plausible reasons to believe that psychology might have a worse misconduct problem than other fields, but the idea that psychology is uniquely broken is, I fear, simply wishful thinking.
Even on "slow enterprise" timescales, 2 years should be more than sufficient. Doubly so given whatever you're using MariaDB for you can almost certainly just use MySQL instead. It's not like you have to go use a fundamentally different database technology

It's absolutely inhumane to expose pregnant women to chemicals unless you are highly certain that they are safe. Clearly it would be better if we tested aspartame exposure on a smaller population and detected this effect. I'm saying that if our confidence of it's safety is high enough to expose pregnant humans to the chemical in scientific studies our confidence of it's safety should be high enough to exposure it to the wider population.

Can you or anyone give more information on this? That data was definitely falsified at some point, so I don't know what you mean that it wasn't. Are you saying the insurance company gave the four researchers reasonable-looking data, and therefore, the four must have falsified it? Do you have a source?

It's kind of why I wanted to know more about the stories of the people the procedure worked for, just in case there really is some evidence it provides a benefit in some niche category. Though, yeah, I'm not betting on it.
Yeah, that's very true! Honestly, a lot of programming projects I've done are never going to be of use to anyone (even myself). But I learned from all of them, even the ones which went nowhere. That is valuable in itself.

The desire would be to work with sound artists and acoustic designers and product designers and engineers to make certain types of audio spaces.

A lot of the cutting edge of acoustic research is from people wanting to make materials and spaces do certain things with sound.

For example, this article describes a system that lets sound through one way This was described in https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-one-way-street-... ("an acoustic circulator") - the need will come from things like this.

And for musicians, artists, and instrument makers to make use of materials, devices, and spaces like this. That would be my answer to your question of where the need/why will come from.

Imagine needing to write a DAW module to deal with "one way sound" that results from using an acoustic circulator in a musical production or a song.

The rest of your post is great, but just one quibble:

> If Apple hadn't been an AT&T exclusive in the US and had adapted to the way people bought phones independent of carriers in most of the world

That made be true, but if Apple hadn't been an AT&T exclusive I'm not sure if they would've succeeded as quickly as they did.

Back then, the carriers had immense power, and they could control the entire phone experience. Apple made a tradeoff with AT&T - we'll be exclusive on your network if you let us control the phone experience. They initially wanted Verizon, but they rejected that trade. AT&T agreed to have a leg up on Verizon, and it mostly worked.

Suggestions for better names are welcome! Typically values with multiple words (e.g. grow-with-content) are rarely used.

This property will affect form-control elements <textarea> , <input> , <select> etc. Hence "form-sizing" but a better name for is definately welcome (please paint the bikeshed!).

"normal" for the reason to "behave like a normal element".
"auto" for "behave like before".

Not great names, (perhaps "content" is better than "normal"?) but again, suggestions welcome.

Similar to Gladwell, the lines between research, journalism and storytelling are becoming increasingly blurred. Dan Ariely's backstory of being a teenage burn victim somehow factors into his research as adding credibility. Ideally, the anecdotal should be separate from the actual data, but research which may be dubious is given the benefit of the doubt because it confirms what we want to believe through storytelling, which confirms or revivifies a preexisting experience or bias.

I feel like you didn't read my comment. I stated that a screened room isn't prohibitively expensive, but can't be delivered for the suggested $10k. In another comment, I said "Society spends a few billion dollars a year on E911 and related infrastructure. To have faith in it eroded because of a little bit of slipshod validation by phone vendors is a false economy."

Why isn't it possible to have nuanced discussions-- to condemn Google's failure here, but also to suggest that the capital expense to give people realistic test environments is probably higher than others are suggesting?

Frankly, you're being abrasive.

This is decidedly not the case, and it attempts to misattribute the issue.

I cared because it happened to me. Like most people, I use a package management system (pkgsrc), so I wasn't on the simh mailing list and I didn't know about this change. I update simh via pkgsrc, tried to restart some virtual machines and had fscks corrupt the filesystems of those VMs.

I went looking in the mailing lists, saw the discussions, saw how people asked nicely for him to do something more reasonable (the most reasonable would be to not default the feature to on), and saw how he simply doubled down and became dismissive.

Note that I don't advocate for harassing people at all. That's a separate issue, and I condemn anyone who'd encourage harassment.

The best starting point is the one that seems most likely. We've never observed consciousness, not even in people. I (i.e., the first person perspective) can talk to them and get convinced others feel the same, so it's fair to assume most people are conscious (in particular because small children seem to lack this capacity). In higher mammals it's uncertain, and we can't communicate at all with anything else, but observation hasn't revealed much. There is no evidence of consciousness in other animals or dead matter, despite people looking for it. It also wouldn't have any evolutionary advantage for a fly to be conscious, nor does it make neurological sense. A fly's behavior doesn't reveal much thought, how could it ever have a consciousness? Just because it is somewhat capable of learning? It takes us many years to get to the point, and it requires a lot of social interaction, and a lot of understanding. So the starting point is: consciousness in most other species is most likely missing, and certainly in dead matter.

> How is it possible you know this with such certainty? People whose lives and careers begin and end with this question don't have any such knowledge.

It is technically unknown, because there isn't a definition, certainly not an operationalizable one. Assuming consciousness is another physical force makes it fundamentally unknowable. It is the easy way out.
Any disclosure on the reasons for the failures? Is there some kind of internal gyro that locks up, for example?

This is just my personal opinion, but as a both a programmer and a cyclist, and as someone who saw the OneWheels all over SF --

I just can't trust that any organization will write code well enough to get on one of these things, especially where there is split-second interaction with SF traffic, and where my face being broken is one of the consequences.

(I might trust certain people, but not organizations.)

I don't know if they did anything bad or not, but the very concept seems suspect. I want my body to learn the laws of physics, as on a bike. I don't want my body to have to interact with software that gets updates over time.

You can level similar criticisms at modern planes -- planes worked before software, and people learned over time how to fly them in bad conditions.

They had skin in the game!!! People writing code in a company somewhere aren't personally liable for your face breaking, or the plane going down in flames. I didn't follow very closely, but the recent Toyota/Boeing issues basically seem like typical organizational blame deflection. No skin in the game.

Unlike mechanical systems, this type of software has no end-user/operator repair.

When software is doing too much, then the pilots and operators lose agency.

---

So I believe a bicycle (or unicycle) has more agency than a OneWheel. The human is forced to learn it, and it's a STABLE target for learning.

Humans have an intuitive sense of physics, and it can be honed to incredible degrees

This reminds me of those viral videos of indoor cyclists that were going around >10 years ago

https://youtu.be/WB3qTVg3hhs?t=158

It's a perfect example of why you shouldn't underestimate the human's brain ability to learn -- software is not that flexible or reliable; AI is not that flexible or reliable.

I mean think about SLOW the self-driving cars are after 10+ years. Their reaction time and judgement is shit.

I'm not an exceptional cyclist, but I've learned to make decisions safely in 15+ years of riding around SF, through diverse conditions and terrain. It's obvious to me that these capabilities are beyond software.

If they're anything like most React devs: it's divs all the way down.

American businesses literally created this problem in the last two decades by moving significant production to China that concentrated the supply chain in that country. The CCP now wants to use the economic wealth to bite the hand that fed it. The solution is not a military solution.
The economic engine that is driving this should be cut off and there are various strategies that can be employed here. US and EU imports several non essential labor intensive products that do not contribute to better lives. For example toys. Banning these imports (bad for the environment) will cause labor unrest in China and will tie down the CCP to deal with it. Currently they are focusing on building chip fabrication, the next step will be force Apple to use these chips.
A YouTuber (the same who drew my attention to polycam) recently made a proof of concept for something like that : he fed the 3D gaussian splatting algorithm with a bunch of renders of a 3D scene. The concept seems to make sense, though modern computer graphics technology has gone a long way in terms of real-time raytracing so it's not clear 3D Gaussian splatting really is advantageous. I think more experiments are needed.

"Kahneman and his partner, Amos Tversky, had pioneered the field of “judgment and decision-making,” which revealed the rational-actor model of neoclassical economics to be a convenient fiction. "

There was nothing to "reveal". Neoclassical economics and the mental model of "rational actors" is no more science than phlogiston or alchemical conversion of lead to gold. It's worse than those, since it's an ideological construct used to buttress the social order.

Which is why we should understand how whole branches of economics are strange pursuits within the realms of fantasy devoid from reality; and when someone introduces a shred of it back in, this is hailed as some great achievement.

This mirrors my experience. Very helpful writing node.js application code, but struggles to walk through simple operations in assembly. My hunch is that the tokenization process really hurts keeping the 1s and 0s straight.

It's been hit or miss with rust. It's super helpful in decrypting compilation errors, decent with "core rust" and less helpful with 3rd party libraries like the cursive TUI crate

Which comes as no surprise, really, as there's certainly less training data on the cursive crate than, say, expressjs

Also FWIW I have actually pointed it at entire git repos with the WebPilot plugin within ChatGPT and it could explain what the repo did, but getting it to actually incorporate the source files as it wrote new code didn't work quite so well (I pointed it to https://github.com/kean/Get and it would frequently fall back to writing native Swift code for HTTP requests instead of using the library)

Stop. Just stop making CSS ever more complicated. It is already waaay to complex. Worse, the standards committee has given up having actual versions - it's just gradually evolving chaos.

At this point, honestly, everything after CSS/2 should be thrown away, so we can start again. With an actual standards process, this time.
I've been electric longboarding for 3-4 years, and longboarding for longer, and I find rental electric scooters way more dangerous than electric longboards. It feels like there's just no way to bail, since there's a big stick in front of you and you're much higher off the ground. To be honest, I feel similarly about bikes but I can buy that that's a skill issue.

This sentence doesn't make sense to me:

> Unlike long boarding where you’re forced to learn to slide in order to stop anyone can go 20mph+ and get themselves killed.

I agree that electric longboarding is dangerous for beginners who never learned to longboard, but I don't see why that argument doesn't apply to scooters or bikes. Anyone can go 20mph+ on an escooter or ebike too, and it's harder to bail. Moreover, beginner longboarders often go faster than is safe down hills, since they're not practiced at controlling speed and stopping. For the disciplined rider, regardless of skill, electric longboards are safer since it's so much easier to control speed down hill.

Nitpick: sliding is a pretty rare way to stop on a longboard.
Of course that depends on how much you'll utilize the skills. But everybody should at the very least master flexbox and get a solid understanding on grid. Imo it's the difference between people who find CSS "fun" and those who dread it

It's also worth learning because tools like Figma or editors like Microsoft Publisher, Word/Docs, etc all have their design tools heavily influenced by CSS. Using those tools will make a lot more sense if you know CSS
