I'm doubtful that Cardus[0] would advocate for better care:

FTA:

Here’s just a quick snapshot of some of the think tank’s latest research:

• One report, titled “Marriage is good for your health,” claims the traditional institution of marriage has numerous “health advantages,” including “quicker recovery from illness” and “better odds of surviving a heart attack” while an additional report claims common law relationships can lead to “negative health outcomes” – neither report is authored by a medical doctor.

• Another report accuses the International Monetary Fund of “coercing Canadian mothers into the workforce” by calling for childcare investments, while other reports argue social assistance for single mothers gives them an incentive to never get married.

• Elsewhere, the social conservative think tank, which says it is called upon to uphold the free market, calls on unions to stop focusing on collective bargaining and organize social activities for their members instead.

> Netflix is no substitution for a hobby.

Maybe, but to the brain engaged in the activity, watching movies or playing video games is much better than a hobby. Real life is only exciting about 1% of the time for anybody. Curated entertainment cuts out most of the boring stuff. Consider this: physiologically, the person watching the biography is probably living a more exciting life than the person who it’s about.
End of life care is incredibly expensive. With an aging population this because a major issue. It makes sense.
Just to add on top of this: I also really don't understand how Paint.net paying $600 to sign its releases would have actually changed anything about those malicious ads, because a malicious ad can still point you towards a resource that isn't signed that claims to be Paint.net.

If a user has the presence to know whether or not they should expect a specific Open Source program to be signed, then they probably can get it directly from the website? And if they can't find an official download link, then they probably won't realize anything is wrong when they get an unsigned application because how on earth would someone know whether or not Paint.net is signed without visiting the official website to check? So either the malicious ads get caught and they aren't displayed, or... I mean, I don't know, unless there's something I'm missing I just don't see how a malicious ad that directs someone to a fake download page for Paint.net isn't going to be able to get crap on a victim's computer regardless of what Paint.net separately does to the real binaries.

The user doesn't download the real binaries, that's the entire scam. The user doesn't know if Paint.net signs its binaries and they don't know if the warning they're getting from the OS should or shouldn't be ignored. So on top of shifting the burden onto the wrong people, it's also not 100% clear to me that shifting the burden onto developers actually improves security all that much?

I'm not against application signing, it can be an important part of security, but not when it's a manual process that costs $600. And not just on its own in isolation, and not when it's an optional process that (because of the cost) many applications aren't going to participate in to begin with. I'm not against signing applications on a conceptual level; I like being able to verify releases. But the Windows/Mac signing process sounds a lot like security theater to me.
That's not an ideal world. That's a fantasy world.
Calling something a "bonus" when it's actually a loan is indeed douchebaggery.

If the company touted "free food", but somewhere deep in the fine print it said that the company has the right to retroactively charge you $500 per meal if they decide they don't like you two years down the road, that would also be douchebaggery.

Just because something is legal doesn't make it not-douchebaggery.

Directly embedding ads in the video
thanks for making this. i've spent 5 minutes on this, but haven't been able to get it to work yet, the extension popup's Parse and Extract buttons are grayed out. do i need a sub to try it out?

a few general remarks:

the landing page above-the-fold is just ugly, the color gradient is horrendous, and the top screenshot of a video is... blank. at first i tried to click the play button, but nothing happened. then i realized it's more of an abstract illustration of what you app does. makes sense, but a real video or animation would be even straight to the point. please, wow me!

what is mining? at first, i thought you've created a cryptocurrency. i see it's explained later down the page.

after login, the grammar page doesn't respect the light mode theme. more examples for grammar would be helpful. in fact, what i want is, extract relevant grammar from the CC of YouTube videos in Korean, and then link me to the EXACT TIMESTAMP, so i can hear it in actual use. i would pay for this.
It also serves to prove the thesis of TFA,

How does a low texture res mushroom cloud with a few dozen polygons from a 26 year old video game "prove the thesis since it doesn't look photorealistic"?

This has no connection at all to how modern fire effects are done. That's like seeing a cave drawing and claiming no painting can ever look realistic.
People are products of their environment.

What are the chances a child born to christian parents will be a christian vs a buddhist?

Why as the access to knowledge has been increasing more and more people are becoming non-believers?

What makes you think you will be able to justify sticking to your "gut feelings, therefore god" position as we develop a greater understanding of the brain?
Right, and the reason "everyone" has confidence in just waiting a bit for it to go back up without panicking and having to try to find an alternative is precisely because GitHub and AWS have on-call engineers that are alerted and immediately work on fixing it.

i don't play a lot of D&D but joined a few campaigns over the years. i never bothered to learn the rules. i don't care. the rules are not why i play. i let others worry about that. i'd even DM without knowing the rules. when creating a campaign the main point is a great setting and imaginative descriptions. when i need monster stats then i just look up recommended stats to suit the level of players in the group. if the monster is to weak, i fudge the rolls. likewise if it is to strong. the players won't know. the point is to create an outcome that drives the story forward and let everyone have fun.

Tears of the Kingdom came so late in the lifecycle of the Switch and the next Zelda is so far off, that I wonder if Nintendo will do some type of light re-release on Switch 2 (or whatever it is called). I read that the did a closed-door demo of Tears of the Kingdom running on Switch 2 hardware.
I've used a number of pdf libraries in python and C# over the years, none have worked reliably as needed (that's just pdf I guess), but haven't used pdfplumber, I'll be sure to give it a go, thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, additional metadata. Totally understand it adds in a lot of complexity but could help for fine-tuning an LLM.

With regards to dates, not a lawyer, but for Federal I would go with "Start Date", it's always the day following the End Date of the previous comp. The Date of Assent (well the year at least) is in the title, but also the first start date. The registration date can be either before or after the start date depending. [1][2]

The tricky part is when sections have different commencement dates that are detailed in the text. I don't know anywhere that is easily accessible. And, if you think about it, usually the most important information for say businesses being regulated.

I wouldn't worry with timezone per say, it's relative to each particular state.[3] i.e. why polling closes in a federal election at 6pm in each state rather than coordinated with ACT.

My least favorite thing about performance optimizations is how hard they are to guard against regressions with standard CI/CD. Unit tests, integration tests, etc. are rarely the right tools. And in some systems (e.g. distributed data processing), local performance often does not indicate true performance at scale.

> I do feel bad for the creators, but I would rather donate to their Patreons than buy YT premium.

I ended up subscribing to both Nebula and Dropout.tv, especially after noticing that a good portion of my favourite YT channels are in fact on Nebula. Sadly, this is primarly larger ones, and I do feel bad about smaller creators being kinda stuck on YT… especially when it's the odd one-time well-made video that really doesn't warrant e.g. Patreon.

But yeah, the real moral quandry is with the creators. They're more or less under the same monopoly pressure; in most cases you just can't ignore the YT audience :(
Right. Also (just a few more concrete examples):

• the sum of the series 4(1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + …) will still be our π: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_%CF%80

• the sum of the series (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + 1/25 + …) will still be π²/6: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

• (therefore) the probability that two numbers chosen uniformly at random from [1…N] are relatively prime will still approach 6/π² as N grows large

• the product 2(4/3)(16/15)(36/35)(64/63)(100/99)… will still be our π: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallis_product

• the value of (n!/(√n (n/e)^n))²/2 as n grows large will still (very slowly) approach π: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling%27s_approximation (e.g. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i2d=true&i=N%5C%2891%29Di... )

Part of the problem is how you’d measure/quantify it, I imagine. Especially since many of the really interesting edge cases will want to hide.

Also many of the traits might also only show up under extreme stress, and we’ve learned to frown on doing destructive a/b tests on entire cultures.
What's the actual use case for these graphing calculators? Forget about the fact that smartphones make them obsolete and they're pretty much only used today in standardized test scenarios where you can't have a smartphone - what was the use case back in the 1990s?

I was born in 1987 and I went through AP classes and an EECS degree at MIT and I never had a need to graph a function on my calculator.
Wait, so the fact that banks offer loans to people, which they don't have to take is predatory then? The 0% APR for 2 years offers I get in the mail are predatory? This indeed must be terrifying for you, since those terrifying zero-interest offers of credit are in every store you go to, every bank you go to, and omg even in your own mailbox.

So again just to be clear what you're saying. A loan with interest is ok. A loan with zero interest where you might get a chance to have it forgiven if you are a top performer at work, is "incredibly predatory and terrifying?"

And by the way, for a guy selling his house for $3mil, having to give back $100k that he knew he might have to give back, after using it free for almost 2 years, is not "a massive loan." My wife and I spent $80k on refugee aid last year, and I don't have a $3mil house. It was an unplanned expense, but it changed our other spending or lifestyle in zero ways. It just means last year we didn't save as much for retirement as the year before.
>over time, I came to appreciate that getting better at relationships meant diving in, imperfect as I am, and getting better through experience.

And for me, I only got angrier at the artificial experience and more or less gave up, focusing on a career where I feel I do have impact.

I don't know, I guess everyone will process the ordeal differently. I never liked the idea of stuff like Twitter or Facebook to begin with, so I wasn't surprised that a social media website dedicated to the messiest part of courtship would drive me over the edge.
The bar for circumvention has a ceiling of state sponsorship. This approach is escalatory in a multipolar world. Prosecute the actual crime instead.
I agree. I think it’s actually far more legislatively contained and reasonable to just ban currency-based applications of blockchain than such a prohibition.
I can relate to this. At my previous company, the first PM our team had was absolutely amazing. She had an engineering background but transitioned to management ten or so years ago. At some point, she was promoted and the replacement PM, while good, was not as good.

Fast-forward to my current company, the PMs here are absolutely shocking. The people they report to have no clue. It seems like every PM at my company has fallen upwards, as a result of newly hired PMs quitting shortly after they join. Engineers here are technically competent, but lack direction. Projects spin up before requirements have been defined, leading to massive losses of time. I’ve considered reaching out to my former company’s PMs to offer a referral, but it’d be a disservice to them.
I think the strongest argument for evolution is it's the simplest approach that could possibly work.

Option 3) Most businesses have a lifetime, most software has a lifetime, and one day they are run for the very last time. The same will happen for code written in C++, most of it will simply die. Some might live on in a GitHub repository, never to be compiled again.

What's the actual use case for these graphing calculators?

There really isn't one, at least not when you have a PC close at hand that can run a Python prompt (or other language of choice that offers easy access to graphing tools).

So, maybe if you're a student and need a dedicated calculator for class. That's about it.

Testing for safety only at first is just following the normal procedure.

> Researchers conduct clinical trials in a series of steps called phases.

Phase I trials: Researchers test a medicine or other treatment in a small group of people for the first time. The purpose is to learn about the best dosage for a medicine or other treatment and to learn about the safety and side effects.

Phase II trials: Researchers study the new medicine or treatment in a larger group of people to determine its effectiveness and to further study its safety.

Phase III trials: Researchers give the new medicine or treatment to an even larger group of participants to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it with standard or similar treatments or a placebo , and collect information that will allow the new medicine or treatment to be used safely.

Phase IV trials: After the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a medicine or treatment and it is made available to the public, researchers track its safety in the general population, seeking more information about the medicine or treatment’s benefits and optimal use.

> Trying to keep them alive even when they have terrible quality of life is not necessarily a humane option

Maybe this is too off-topic, but I've always thought that vegetarianism is not a very well thought through philosophy. Animals kept alive under uncomfortable, stressful, and undignified conditions are ok but putting them out of their misery is not? I know there's a wide fuzzy boundary between the two (some dairy cows are really happy; some slaughter cows die slow, painful deaths) but it doesn't seem like the quality of life of dairy cows, egg-laying hens, etc. is considered. Personally I'd much rather die than be forcibly impregnated, separated from my child, and milked, repeating this cycle for years.
You can stil be engineering focused (whatever that means) and have strong leadership. The issue is that a person who lacks significant stake in the company (i.e. most) is not going to want to be a strong leader - you're just risking yourself as personally accountable for any failures vs. limited rewards.
Any source for said studies? As an engineer I often find my current 2 external monitors limiting and wish I had four.

I certainly have many critiques of methods used in neuroscience rn (as a working neuroscientist) but to reduce those to the conclusion that the entire project of neuroscience is hopeless is absurd. We understand certain things quite well actually, and it's not at all obvious what "understanding" at a larger scale would look like. It is very possible that the brain is irreducibly complex, and that the model you would need to construct to describe it would itself be so complex as to be useless in providing insight. Considering that the brain is by far the most complex object in the universe I think we're doing pretty well.

Furthermore, there are quite a lot of disagreements about the utility of connectomics. Outside of the extremists (Sebastian Seung and his ilk) no one thinks that connectomics is going to be the key that brings earth shattering insight. It's just another tool. There is a complete connectome for part of the drosophila brain already (privately funded btw), which is in daily use in many fly labs. It tells you what other neurons are connected to. Incredibly useful. Not earth shattering.

also you might want to measure the neuroscience funding you deem wasteful up against the tens of billions NASA is spending to send humans (and not robots) back to the moon for "the spirit of adventure". cold war's over. robots will do just fine for the moon.
* pi = 3.14159… appears in analysis and by extension statistics, independent of geometry. So aliens in these other universes would know this value, they’d just have a different constant for circles. Since they wouldn’t use Greek letters anyway, we’d have to translate, and it would be a bit silly to equate their 3.757… with “pi” instead of their 3.14159…

* Personal aside: Of course, whether 3.14… (pi), 6.28… (2pi) or even 0.785… (pi/4) should be the fundamental constant is
debatable, and aliens might have different ideas about that.

* The article introduces the concept of metrics to explain that there could be different circle constants in other universes. But arbitrary metrics don’t necessarily have linear scaling or translation invariance. You need stronger assumptions than a metric to meaningfully define a circle constant at all, like a normed vector space. AFAICT, all of the given examples are in fact normed vector spaces, not just metric spaces.
